9:57:17AM SO, THEREFORE, SAYING THIS AND SAYING THAT, I AM GETTING
9:57:22AM ASKED WHY I'M COMING TO SEE YOU ALL.
9:57:23AM THE QUESTION SHOULD BE, WHY IS SOMEBODY WITH THE CITY OF
9:57:27AM TAMPA NOTIFYING THE PSYCHIATRIST TO CALL ME TO COME SEE ME?
9:57:32AM THEY ARE TRYING TO MAKE IT SEEM LIKE I AM DISGRUNTLED.

9:58:01AM IT WAS FLOODED BECAUSE OF NEGLIGENCE ON THE CITY.

9:58:08AM FAVORITISM TO.
9:58:10AM THAT PERSON, A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T DESERVE THE JOBS THAT
9:58:12AM THEY HAVE BECAUSE IT'S FAVORITISM.
9:58:15AM UNDER THE CITY, UNDER THE AGREEMENT THAT THE BARGAINING UNIT

9:58:31AM TO PAY FOR US TO GET TRAINED TO WORK THE GENERATORS, PUMPS.
9:58:35AM HE SAYS HE'S REFUSING TO PAY FOR TRAINING.
9:58:38AM THEREFORE, UNDER THE ARTICLE, YOU MUST WITH THE CITY OF
9:58:41AM TAMPA, IF YOU ASK FOR TRAINING, YOU MUST GIVE TRAINING.
9:58:43AM NOW, THAT'S THE REASON WHY IT'S COSTING THE CITY OF TAMPA --
9:58:48AM NO, COSTING TAXPAYERS MILLIONS OF DOLLARS BECAUSE THEY
9:58:51AM REFUSE TO DO TRAINING.
9:58:53AM SAYING THAT TO SAY THIS, IF YOU ARE REFUSING US TO DO
9:58:58AM TRAINING, WE NOT GOING TO HAVE A DEPARTMENT.
9:59:01AM EVERY DEPARTMENT IS DENIED TRAINING.
9:59:04AM IT'S NOT JUST THE MOBILITY DEPARTMENT.

9:59:20AM BECAUSE WE'RE NOT PREPPED, NOT READY.
9:59:23AM DENYING US TRAINING IS NOT GETTING US NOWHERE.
9:59:25AM SAYING THIS, I MIGHT BE FIRED OR I MIGHT BE WRITTEN UP
9:59:29AM BECAUSE I KEEP GETTING THREATS SAYING WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO
9:59:31AM DO.

9:59:33AM WITH THE SUNSHINE LAW, I'M WAITING FOR THE REQUEST TO COME
9:59:36AM AND I'LL COME BACK AND EXPOSE IN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS.
9:59:39AM THANK YOU.
9:59:39AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU, MR. GREEN.
9:59:40AM STEPHANIE POYNOR FOLLOWED BY PAM CANNELLA.
9:59:47AM >> GOOD MORNING.
9:59:47AM STEPHANIE POYNOR.
9:59:49AM I'VE GOT A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT THINGS.
9:59:51AM I'LL SKIP ALL OVER THE PLACE.
9:59:52AM NUMBER ONE, WHY WAS THE ARMY NAVY STORE PROPERTY PUT OUT FOR
9:59:56AM REBID?
9:59:57AM JUST CURIOUS.
9:59:58AM I SAW IT ON Facebook THIS WEEK THAT IT DIDN'T COME.
10:00:01AM DID WE NOT GET A GOOD BID?
10:00:03AM I DON'T KNOW.
10:00:04AM MET MAN HAS APPLIED TO USE THE ROME YARD PROPERTY AGAIN.
10:00:10AM WHY DON'T WE HAVE AFFORDABLE HOUSING ON THE PROPERTY?
10:00:12AM IT'S STILL A HUGE VACANT LOT.
10:00:15AM SULPHUR SPRINGS NEEDS MONEY, OBVIOUSLY.
10:00:17AM NOTHING SEEMS TO MOVE FORWARD IN THAT AREA OF THE CITY OR
10:00:19AM CERTAIN AREAS OF THE CITY.
10:00:20AM NUMBER FOUR, HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD, THERE ARE A BUNCH
10:00:25AM OF VACANCIES ON THAT BOARD.
10:00:26AM HAS ANYBODY APPROACHED LINDA SAUL-SENA ABOUT SEEING IF
10:00:29AM ANYBODY ON THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COUNCIL, WHATEVER IT
10:00:33AM IS, ROUNDTABLE THAT -- MEET LIKE ONCE OR MONTH.
10:00:37AM 10 OR 15 PEOPLE WHO SHOW UP EVERY MONTH.
10:00:40AM MAYBE THEY MIGHT WANT TO BE ON THE BOARD.
10:00:43AM NUMBER 37, I THINK WE NEED TO LOOK AT THE LDC AND AT LEAST
10:00:46AM GET SOME LITTLE PREVIEWS OR HINTS OR SOMETHING.
10:00:50AM I DON'T WANT TO BE STANDING HERE SIX MONTHS FROM NOW GOING
10:00:54AM HOLY CRAP, THEY DID ALL THIS WORK, AND WE'RE NOT HAPPY ABOUT
10:00:57AM IT.
10:00:58AM BECAUSE GUESS WHAT, UNLIKE THE PLANNING COMMISSION, WHO WE
10:01:01AM DON'T HAVE TO PAY MORE MONEY TO FIX IT, WE'LL HAVE TO PAY
10:01:04AM THAT VENDOR MORE MONEY TO FIX IT.
10:01:06AM LET'S GO AHEAD AND GET SOME KIND OF FRAMEWORK GOING NOW THAT
10:01:11AM IS AT LEAST PRESENTED TO THE STAKEHOLDER COMMITTEE SO THAT
10:01:15AM THEY CAN LOOK AT IT AND SAY, YEAH, THIS IS GOOD.
10:01:18AM THIS SUCKS, WHATEVER.
10:01:20AM BY WITHHOLDING EVERYTHING UNTIL THE VERY END, WE'LL HAVE A
10:01:23AM BIGGER REWRITE PROCESS THAN WE CAN POSSIBLY DEAL WITH ALL AT
10:01:27AM ONCE.
10:01:27AM WE END UP WITH THE SAME THING WE HAVE JUST DONE FOR THE COMP
10:01:31AM PLAN WITH THE LDC.
10:01:32AM I REALLY THINK WE NEED TO LOOK AT THAT.
10:01:34AM I WANT TO REMIND YOU THAT THE FEES THAT WE HAVE TO LOOK AT
10:01:37AM FOR THE CITY, NOW, THESE ARE DEVELOPMENT FEES.
10:01:40AM THESE ARE NOT FEES FOR THE REGULAR CITIZENS WHO GET UP IN
10:01:43AM THE MORNING AND GO TO WORK AND COME HOME.
10:01:45AM THEY HAVE TO BE CHANGED BY DECEMBER 31st.
10:01:48AM DON'T LET PEOPLE DRAG THEIR BUTTS ON THE CARPET ABOUT
10:01:51AM GETTING THE STUFF DONE.
10:01:52AM OTHERWISE, IT WILL TAKE US YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS TO GET
10:01:55AM CAUGHT UP.
10:01:56AM WE OPERATE CURRENTLY WHERE THE CITIZENS ME, YOU, EVERYBODY
10:02:01AM IN HERE WHO LIVES IN THE CITY OF TAMPA, IS SUPPLEMENTING FOR
10:02:08AM OTHER PEOPLE TO GET THEIR NEW HOUSES.
10:02:10AM WHY SHOULD I AS A TAXPAYER PAY THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT
10:02:16AM IT COSTS THE CITY TO DO SOMETHING AND WHAT THE DEVELOPERS
10:02:20AM ARE ACTUALLY PAYING.
10:02:21AM IF IT COSTS A HUNDRED DOLLARS TO DO IT, WHY ARE THEY ONLY
10:02:24AM PAYING $20 AND THE CITIZENS OF TAMPA PAYING 80?
10:02:27AM THAT'S A PROBLEM FOR ME.
10:02:30AM I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T LET THAT GET PUSHED BACK
10:02:32AM AND PUSHED BACK AND PUSHED BACK.
10:02:34AM WE'VE GOT STUFF ON THE AGENDA THAT'S BEEN THERE FOR TWO,
10:02:37AM THREE, FOUR YEARS.
10:02:38AM LIKE THE MOBILITY STUDY.
10:02:40AM THE FIRST NUMBERS CAME OUT IN SEPTEMBER OF 2023.
10:02:44AM HERE WE ARE TWO YEARS LATER, WE STILL HAVEN'T HAD IT
10:02:47AM PRESENTED TO YOU GUYS.
10:02:49AM THANK YOU.
10:02:49AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU.
10:02:50AM NEXT SPEAKER IS PAM CANNELLA FOLLOWED BY ASHLEY MORROW.
10:02:58AM >> CAN THIS BE TAKEN DOWN?
10:03:03AM IT'S SO BIG.
10:03:07AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: ON THE TOP OF THE WOLF IS THE WHEEL.
10:03:09AM ROTATE IT ONE WAY OR THE OTHER AND IT WILL SHRINK DOWN.
10:03:16AM >> I WANT IT SMALLER BECAUSE IT'S TOO BIG.
10:03:19AM TOO MAGNIFYING.
10:03:21AM I WANT TO ZOOM OUT.
10:03:23AM I LIKE THE NATURAL.
10:03:24AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: START WITH YOUR NAME AND YOU HAVE THREE
10:03:26AM MINUTES.
10:03:27AM >> OKAY.
10:03:28AM GOOD MORNING, ALL.
10:03:30AM MY NAME IS PAM CANNELLA.
10:03:34AM I WANT TO GIVE MANHATTAN THE PROPER ATTENTION IT NEEDS.
10:03:38AM FLOODING HAS OCCURRED ON THAT STREET FOR AS FAR BACK AS I
10:03:42AM CAN REMEMBER.
10:03:43AM IT STILL FLOODS TODAY.
10:03:45AM THAT IS A '24 PICTURE.
10:03:49AM HERE IS NOW IN '25.
10:03:52AM IN 2015 AND 2016, THEY DID A VASCONIA OUTFALL PROJECT.
10:04:00AM IT WAS AN EXTENSIVE SYSTEM OF SIX BY FIVE BOX CULVERTS, ALL
10:04:05AM THE WAY DOWN VASCONIA TO THE OUTFALL AT WESTSHORE.
10:04:11AM AND SURROUNDING STREETS WERE ALSO INVOLVED WITH THE PIPE
10:04:14AM REPLACEMENT.
10:04:15AM MANHATTAN AT EL PRADO, INCLUDING SEVILLA, SHAMROCK, THEY HAD
10:04:22AM RC PIPES.
10:04:24AM HUBERT HAD ERC PIPES, 25 BY 38 PIPES AND CONCRETE BOX
10:04:32AM CULVERTS WERE PUT IN.
10:04:33AM ALONG EL PRADO TO HUBERT, 19 BY 13 EPC, AND THAT IS
10:04:39AM ELLIPTICAL CONCRETE PIPES.
10:04:41AM IN 2018, THERE WAS AN INTERVIEW BY A RESIDENT WHO RECENTLY
10:04:53AM PURCHASED A HOME THINKING FLOODING PROBLEM HAD BEEN SOLVED.
10:04:57AM NO WAY.
10:04:59AM IT WASN'T.
10:04:59AM IT FLOODED.
10:05:00AM INTERVIEW WITH JEAN DUNCAN QUOTED AS SAYING THE MAJOR
10:05:04AM DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENT THAT WAS NOT FINISHED.
10:05:06AM IN OTHER WORDS, THAT IMPROVEMENT THAT THEY DID IN 2015-16
10:05:11AM WAS NOT FINISHED, EVEN THOUGH THEY DID ALL THAT.
10:05:14AM THE EXISTING SYSTEM WAS BLOCKED ACCORDING TO FEDERAL
10:05:17AM GUIDELINES.
10:05:18AM THAT IS WHY IT DIDN'T WORK AND IT FLOODED.
10:05:20AM SO IN 2018 AND 19, THEY GAVE $251 MILLION GOING INTO FIXING
10:05:29AM TAMPA'S STORMWATER TROUBLES.
10:05:32AM IT SAYS FIXING.
10:05:33AM NOTHING HAS BEEN FIXED.
10:05:34AM NOW WE CHANGE THAT WORDING TO SAYING, WELL, WE'LL HELP.
10:05:39AM WE HAVE AN $11 MILLION PROJECT GOING DOWN 2018 AND '19.
10:05:45AM THAT GOES ALL THE WAY DOWN MANHATTAN.
10:05:50AM REPLACING ALL THE TYPES AND SIDE STREETS.
10:05:57AM TWO MILES OF NEW PIPE ALONG MANHATTAN AVENUE WILL DRAIN.
10:06:01AM ESTIMATED 500 ACRES OF TAMPA.
10:06:03AM THE PROJECT ALONG MANHATTAN FROM EL PRADO TO BAY TO BAY
10:06:07AM BRANCHES OFF TO OTHER STREETS INCLUDING LAMB AND LAMB CANAL.
10:06:11AM RECONSTRUCTION, REINFORCED CONCRETE PIPES, A LOT OF
10:06:16AM EXTENSION -- EXTENSIVE WORK.
10:06:17AM MANHATTAN PROJECT 2025 NOW IS DOING THE SAME PROJECT AGAIN.
10:06:22AM I PUT THIS LIST ON LAST NIGHT.
10:06:28AM IT IS THE SAME PIPES.
10:06:29AM I WENT THROUGH THEM ALL, THAT ARE BEING REPLACED.
10:06:32AM MY QUESTION IS, HOW IS THIS 2025 MANHATTAN PROJECT GOING TO
10:06:37AM FIX THE FLOODING WHEN THE OTHER PROJECTS HAVE NOT?
10:06:41AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU, PAM.
10:06:42AM ASHLEY MORROW FOLLOWED BY STEPHEN MICHELINI.
10:06:46AM GOOD MORNING, ASHLEY.
10:06:56AM >> GOOD MORNING.
10:06:56AM MY NAME IS ASHLEY MORROW.
10:07:00AM I WILL BE SHARING TAMPA'S BLACK HISTORY.
10:07:02AM I WENT TO A FEW I THINK ABOUT TEN BLACK HISTORY MUSEUMS ALL
10:07:09AM OVER THE U.S. IN THE FALL OF LAST YEAR.
10:07:11AM I REALLY DIDN'T SEE TAMPA ON THE MAP.
10:07:14AM WHY AREN'T WE ON THESE MAPS?
10:07:16AM LITERALLY, WE ARE ON THE MAP BUT NOT A PART OF THE STORY.
10:07:19AM BUT WE ARE A PART OF THE GRAND STORY OF THE U.S. HISTORY,
10:07:24AM ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO THE SEMINOLE WARS IN THE
10:07:26AM 1800s.
10:07:26AM I PUT THIS UP ON THE SCREEN BECAUSE NOTICE, THIS IS TALKING
10:07:29AM ABOUT THE INCORPORATION HISTORY.
10:07:31AM IF YOU GO TO THE TAMPA HISTORY PAGE ON THE WEBSITE AS WELL,
10:07:34AM YOU SEE THIS BIG GAP.
10:07:35AM 1824, COLONEL BROOK COMES AND 1849, WE SKIP THE WHOLE
10:07:42AM SEMINOLE WAR ERA AND THE THINGS THAT HAPPENED IN TAMPA WHERE
10:07:45AM I TALKED TO YOU GUYS LAST WEEK ABOUT THE IMMIGRATION CAMPS.
10:07:49AM I WANTED TO SHOW YOU GUYS THIS.
10:07:53AM I'LL SKIP TO IT BECAUSE I'VE GOT TO GET ALONG.
10:07:56AM MY PARKING IS UP.
10:07:57AM YOU SEE THAT THESE ARE THE BLACK SEMINOLES.
10:07:59AM I WOULD LOVE FOR YOU ALL TO GO RESEARCH THEM, ALONG WITH THE
10:08:02AM PEOPLE THAT THEY INTERPRETED FOR AS FAR AS THE MAIN SEMINOLE
10:08:07AM CHARACTERS HERE IN FLORIDA.
10:08:09AM AND ALL OF THEM, NOT THESE TWO.
10:08:11AM HE WAS KILLED AND I BELIEVE HE WAS KILLED, THESE THREE CAME
10:08:16AM THROUGH TAMPA FROM FORT PIPE IN NEW ORLEANS.
10:08:20AM I THINK SOME TEACHERS ARE WATCHING THIS.
10:08:22AM HAVE YOUR STUDENTS GO RESEARCH THESE BLACK SEMINOLES THAT
10:08:25AM DEFINITELY HAD A BIG IMPACT IN THE SEMINOLE WAR.
10:08:29AM BEN BRUNO HERE, HE WAS ONE OF THE SEMINOLES THAT WAS TAKEN
10:08:33AM OVER TO NEW ORLEANS.
10:08:35AM THE HARPER WEEKLY DID A WRITE-UP ABOUT BILLY BOW LEG AND HIS
10:08:42AM SLAVES.
10:08:42AM BRUNO WAS VERY WELL DRESSED.
10:08:44AM SO THIS WAS OVER IN NEW ORLEANS WHERE I GUESS THEY GOT THE
10:08:48AM SKETCH OF HIM.
10:08:49AM AND THIS IS IN THE HARPER WEEKLY.
10:08:52AM NEW YORK, JUNE 12, 1858 IS WHAT IT WAS CITED.
10:08:55AM THERE WAS AN INTERESTING STORY WRITTEN IN THIS BOOK CALLED
10:08:58AM THE FLORIDA WAR BY JT SPRAGUE.
10:09:02AM ALSO INVOLVED WITH THE FREEMAN -- I'LL GO OVER THAT LATER
10:09:05AM WHEN WE GET TO THAT PART OF THE STORY.
10:09:07AM BUT THE FLORIDA WAR WAS A VERY INTERESTING BOOK AND IT
10:09:13AM INCLUDED LETTERS, INCLUDED STORIES, WHETHER ALL OF THEM WERE
10:09:19AM ACTUALLY FACTUAL, SOMETIMES I WONDER, HOW DO YOU KNOW THEY
10:09:23AM SAID THAT, SAYING ALL THIS DIALOGUE, BUT HE ALSO INCLUDED
10:09:26AM LETTERS TO KIND OF DETAIL THE ACTIONS THAT HAPPENED DURING
10:09:29AM THE SEMINOLE WAR.
10:09:30AM I THINK THAT BOOK IS VERY TELLING AS FAR AS THE HISTORY OF
10:09:33AM WHAT HAPPENED IN TAMPA.
10:09:35AM THIS STORY WAS VERY INTERESTING IN THE BOOK.
10:09:37AM BASICALLY HIS NAME WAS WILDCAT.
10:09:39AM HE WAS TAKEN OVER TO THE INDIAN TERRITORY IN OKLAHOMA.
10:09:42AM GETS BROUGHT BACK TO TAMPA BAY AND HE IS ASKED TO BASICALLY
10:09:46AM GET THESE MESSENGERS TO GO TALK TO THE DIFFERENT TRIBES AND
10:09:50AM TELL THEM TO BRING BACK THEIR PEOPLE TO TAMPA BAY, SO THEY
10:09:53AM FIND AN AREA OUTSIDE OF TAMPA BAY JUST A LITTLE BIT.
10:09:57AM HE'S TOLD TO BRING THEM BACK OR HE WILL BE HUNG BY THE NECK.
10:10:00AM HE GETS ALL OF THE TRIBES TO COME TO TAMPA BAY.
10:10:02AM THAT IS MY TIME.
10:10:05AM THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH.
10:10:06AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU, ASHLEY.
10:10:07AM STEVE MICHELINI FOLLOWED BY MENTESNOT.
10:10:16AM >> GOOD MORNING, COUNCIL.
10:10:17AM STEVE MICHELINI.
10:10:19AM I THINK THE COUNCIL DESERVES AN HONEST AND FORTH RIGHT
10:10:22AM DISCUSSION AND INFORMATION REGARDING STORMWATER,
10:10:26AM PARTICULARLY THE SOUTH HOWARD PROJECT.
10:10:28AM THIS INCLUDES MAINTENANCE BEFORE CAPITAL PROJECTS.
10:10:32AM WHEN NEIGHBORHOODS AND BUSINESSES DO THE RESEARCH, THEY ARE
10:10:35AM NOT LYING TO YOU.
10:10:37AM THE REPORTS CLEARLY INDICATE THAT MAINTENANCE SHOULD BE
10:10:45AM PRECEDED BEFORE CAPITAL PROJECTS.
10:10:47AM WHEN WE GO FORWARD WITH THIS, THE INFORMATION THAT WE'RE
10:10:49AM SPEAKING ABOUT COMES DIRECTLY FROM THE CITY REPORTS OR FROM
10:10:54AM INTERVIEWS WITH CITY EMPLOYEES.
10:10:57AM THE ISSUE REGARDING JUSTIFICATION FOR THIS PROJECT, WHICH
10:11:02AM APPROACHES OVER A HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS, WHAT IS THE COST
10:11:04AM BENEFIT OF THAT PROJECT WHEN MAINTENANCE WOULD BE FAR LESS
10:11:09AM EXPENSIVE AND PROVIDE A MUCH GREATER POSITIVE IMPACT.
10:11:15AM WHEN YOU START TALKING ABOUT THE INFORMATION BASED UPON
10:11:21AM EMPIRICAL STUDIES, THE STUDIES CONFLICT WITH EACH OTHER.
10:11:24AM IT'S NOT A CLEAR PICTURE THAT A PROJECT OF THIS CALIBER AND
10:11:30AM EXPENSE WOULD SOLVE ANY OF THE PROBLEMS THAT WE EXPERIENCED
10:11:34AM RECENTLY.
10:11:34AM IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE TO ASK FOR THE INFORMATION RELATED
10:11:37AM TO WHAT THE COSTS ARE AND WHAT THE BENEFITS ARE.
10:11:42AM FINALLY, WHAT AND HOW MUCH -- AND HOW IMPORTANT IS IT, WHAT
10:11:46AM CAN BE ACHIEVED THROUGH THESE DIFFERENT PROJECTS,
10:11:49AM MAINTENANCE VERSUS CAPITAL PROJECTS.
10:11:52AM COUNCIL DESERVES AN ANSWER.
10:11:55AM THE PEOPLE AND THE PUBLIC DESERVE AN ANSWER BEFORE YOU PUT
10:11:59AM US THROUGH A MASSIVE DISRUPTIVE PROJECT.
10:12:02AM IT IS SO LARGE AND SO MUCH OF AN IMPACT, YOU CAN'T EVEN
10:12:08AM IMAGINE.
10:12:08AM WE HAD A PORTION OF HOWARD SHUT DOWN FOR TWO DAYS TWO WEEKS
10:12:14AM AGO.
10:12:15AM TWO DAYS, NOT FOUR MONTHS, NOT THREE MONTHS, NOT FOUR YEARS.
10:12:19AM THE MAINTENANCE CLEARLY HAS BEEN SHOWN BY THE REPORTS, SEVEN
10:12:25AM YEARS HASN'T BEEN DONE.
10:12:27AM 14 YEARS, PUMPS HAVEN'T BEEN MAINTAINED.
10:12:30AM THEY ARE BROKEN AND HAVEN'T BEEN REPAIRED.
10:12:32AM I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE'S MONEY IN THE BUDGET TO RECTIFY
10:12:36AM THAT SITUATION.
10:12:38AM HOWEVER, WHEN WE COME UP AND WE GIVE YOU INFORMATION, WE'RE
10:12:42AM NOT LYING.
10:12:43AM I UNDERSTAND WE'RE APPEALING TO YOU ON A VERY DIFFICULT
10:12:46AM ISSUE.
10:12:47AM I'VE GOT THAT, BUT IT NEEDS TO BE CLOSELY EXAMINED AND
10:12:50AM COUNCIL DESERVES AN ANSWER REGARDING WHAT IS REALLY
10:12:54AM HAPPENING HERE.
10:12:56AM IS IT JUSTIFICATION FOR A PROJECT AND A DECISION THAT'S
10:12:59AM ALREADY BEEN MADE OR IS IT TRULY AN OPEN AND EVALUATED
10:13:04AM CRITERIA FOR WHAT IS THE BEST THING FOR THE CITY?
10:13:07AM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:13:08AM I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR CONSIDERATION.
10:13:10AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU, MR. MICHELINI.
10:13:13AM MENTESNOT FOLLOWED BY PASTOR WILLIAMS.
10:13:15AM GOOD MORNING.
10:13:18AM >> MENTESNOT, UHURU.
10:13:20AM UHURU MEANS FREEDOM IN SWAHILI.
10:13:23AM WE AS AFRICAN PEOPLE SHOULD ALWAYS BE THINKING ABOUT OUR
10:13:26AM FREEDOM.
10:13:26AM 825 YEARS OR 1500 YEARS OF NO FREEDOM FOR THE BLACK, NONE
10:13:33AM WHATSOEVER.
10:13:33AM THE EUROPEAN, THE BYZANTINE OTTOMAN EMPIRES, NORTH AMERICA,
10:13:45AM ALL THOSE EMPIRES, WHITE WESTERN CIVILIZATION EMPIRES HAVE
10:13:49AM TREATED THE AFRICAN LIKE DIRT.
10:13:52AM AND THEY HAVE GROWN ACCUSTOMED TO IT.
10:13:55AM THEY HAVE GROWN ACCUSTOMED TO IT.
10:13:57AM COME HERE AND TALK ABOUT REPARATIONS, NOTHING SAID.
10:14:01AM AS A MATTER OF FACT, COULD YOU HOLD THE TIME?
10:14:05AM BECAUSE WHAT HAPPENS IS, THERE IS A SITUATION BY WHICH
10:14:11AM SOMEBODY IN THE AUDIO ROOM AFFECTS THE VISUALS WHEN CERTAIN
10:14:18AM PEOPLE ARE SPEAKING.
10:14:18AM AND THAT'S UNDEMOCRATIC AND IT'S UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
10:14:25AM IT'S UNDEMOCRATIC AND IT'S UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
10:14:28AM IT IS.
10:14:31AM IT'S ACTUALLY ILLEGAL AND RACIALLY OFFENSIVE.
10:14:35AM IT'S RACIALLY DISCRIMINATORY.
10:14:38AM BUT THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS, WHITE PEOPLE LIKE TO THINK
10:14:42AM THAT THEY HAVE GOTTEN US INTO A POSITION FROM 500 YEARS OF
10:14:47AM OPPRESSION ON NORTH AMERICAN SOIL THAT ALL AFRICAN PEOPLE
10:14:51AM SUPPOSED TO BE AFRAID OF THEM.
10:14:53AM WHEN THEY SEE AN AFRICAN, WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE HIGH, DRUNK,
10:14:59AM OUT OF OUR MIND, SCARY, INTOXICATED, ON WEED, ON DRUGS,
10:15:06AM WHATEVER, WHATEVER.
10:15:07AM ONE THING I MAKE COMMENTS ABOUT IS CHILD SUPPORT.
10:15:12AM CHILD SUPPORT IS ETHNIC CLOSING AND SLOW NEGRO GENOCIDE.
10:15:18AM I WANT TO SHOW ON CHILD SUPPORT WHAT THEY ARE DOING TO
10:15:22AM AFRICAN MEN AND AFRICAN FAMILIES AND AFRICAN WOMEN.
10:15:25AM THIS IS A 1987 CASE THAT CAME UP FOR DISMISSAL.
10:15:31AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: PLEASE SILENCE YOUR CELL PHONES.
10:15:42AM >> CAN YOU HOLD MY TIME, PLEASE?
10:15:45AM [CELL PHONE RINGING]
10:15:50AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: CONTINUE.
10:15:55AM >> BEFORE A JUDGE JOSEPH TOMPKINS, RIGHT HERE IN
10:16:01AM HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY.
10:16:01AM WE HAVE NO REPRESENTATIVE FROM DISTRICT 5, BUT I WOULD LIKE
10:16:11AM SOMEONE TO PICK THE TELEPHONE UP AND CALL JUDGE JOSEPH
10:16:15AM TOMPKINS OR CALL THE CHIEF JUDGE CHRISTOPHER SABELLA AND ASK
10:16:21AM THEM WHY THIS CASE WASN'T DISMISSED.
10:16:23AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: YOU CAN GO FOR ANOTHER TEN SECONDS WITH
10:16:25AM THE DELAY.
10:16:26AM GO AHEAD.
10:16:27AM WHOEVER'S CELL PHONE -- PASTOR WILLIAMS IS THAT YOUR CELL
10:16:31AM PHONE?
10:16:31AM MAYBE GET SOME HELP TO PAUSE THAT OR SILENCE THAT.
10:16:35AM OKAY, MENTESNOT, ANOTHER 10, 15 SECONDS.
10:16:41AM GO AHEAD.
10:16:41AM >> I THOUGHT I HAD ABOUT 30 SECONDS BASED ON THE
10:16:45AM INTERRUPTION.
10:16:45AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WE ACTUALLY PAUSED IT.
10:16:47AM I'M GIVING YOU ANOTHER 10 OR 15 BECAUSE OF THE INTERRUPTION.
10:16:51AM >> THE LAW STATES THAT THIS CASE SHOULD BE DISMISSED.
10:16:55AM WENT TO COURT.
10:16:56AM THE JUDGE WOULDN'T DO IT.
10:16:57AM THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE DOING.
10:16:58AM NOBODY SHOWED UP, BUT THE JUDGE WOULDN'T DO IT.
10:17:02AM THAT'S WHAT THE CHILD SUPPORT ARE DOING TO AFRICAN FAMILIES.
10:17:06AM SLOW NEGRO GENOCIDE, ETHNIC CLEANSING, NOTHING MORE, NOTHING
10:17:11AM LESS.
10:17:11AM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:17:13AM HAVE A GOOD DAY.
10:17:14AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU.
10:17:15AM PASTOR WILLIAMS, YOU ARE NEXT, FOLLOWED BY ROBIN LOCKETT.
10:17:20AM I'M SORRY.
10:17:21AM I MISSED SOMEBODY.
10:17:22AM HOLD ON PASTOR.
10:17:24AM KEITH GREMINGER.
10:17:25AM THANK YOU.
10:17:26AM KEITH, GOING ONCE, GOING TWICE, GONE.
10:17:35AM PASTOR WILLIAMS, YOU ARE IT.
10:17:41AM >> MY NAME IS PASTOR WILLIAMS, LOCATED AT 1112 EAST SCOTT
10:17:47AM STREET.
10:17:47AM USED TO BE MY CHURCH, BUT A LOT OF THINGS BEEN HAPPENING
10:17:51AM SINCE THEN.
10:17:52AM I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THAT AND CONCERNED ABOUT THE JACKSON
10:17:58AM HOUSE.
10:18:01AM IF THEY ARE GOING TO REBUILD IT ON THE SAME PROPERTY WHERE
10:18:03AM THEY PLAN TO JACKSON HOUSE, DO YOU KNOW THAT?
10:18:10AM REBUILD BACK THERE ON THE SAME LOT, THE SMALL LOT THERE.
10:18:15AM YOU NEED TO REBUILD IT ON BELMONT HEIGHTS.
10:18:21AM RETAINING PONDS, BUILD OVER THERE.
10:18:28AM EAT AND DO ALL THAT GOOD STUFF.
10:18:30AM BASICALLY TELLING TONY DANIELS BECAUSE I WANT TO MAKE A
10:18:39AM PRESENTATION TO HIM BECAUSE YOU ALL MAKE A PRESENTATION, ALL
10:18:43AM OF YOUR LEADERS.
10:18:50AM TONY COME UP HERE.
10:18:51AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I'M SORRY.
10:18:52AM THAT'S NOT THE PURPOSE OF PUBLIC COMMENT.
10:18:54AM YOU CAN CONTINUE WITH YOUR THREE MINUTES.
10:18:56AM IT'S JUST THE OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUR THREE MINUTES.
10:19:01AM >> APPRECIATE WHAT YOU'RE DOING FOR THE PEOPLE.
10:19:04AM YOU'RE DOING A WHOLE LOT FOR THE PEOPLE, BUT THE PEOPLE
10:19:06AM DON'T SEEM TO APPRECIATE YOU.

10:19:11AM EVERYTHING YOU'RE DOING FOR ME.

10:19:23AM YOU NEED TO DO RIGHT FOR ALL PEOPLE.
10:19:27AM YOU GOT TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT IN OUR SIGHT AND DO WHAT IS
10:19:31AM RIGHT IN GOD'S SIGHT.
10:19:32AM THAT'S WHERE WE GO FROM HERE TO NEW JERUSALEM AND WANT YOU
10:19:38AM ALL TO UNDERSTAND THIS HERE.
10:19:40AM I'M AN OLD MAN NOW.
10:19:42AM HANDICAP WHEEL THERE, AND SEEM LIKE YOU ALL DON'T WANT TO DO
10:19:46AM NOTHING FOR ME.
10:19:47AM YOU ALL CAN CARE LESS THAN A DAMN.
10:19:51AM I COME HERE WEEK AFTER WEEK, YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR AND
10:19:55AM I GET NO RESPECT.
10:19:57AM I GET NO RESPECT.
10:19:59AM THANK GOD I'M STILL LIVING AND HE'S GIVING ME PLENTY OF
10:20:03AM RESPECT.
10:20:03AM I THANK GOD FOR THAT.
10:20:05AM NOW, WE GOT TO UNDERSTAND, I THANK TONY SO MUCH FOR WHAT
10:20:11AM HE'S DOING.
10:20:12AM I KNOW YOU ALL ARE NOT GOING TO SAY NOTHING ABOUT THAT.

10:20:41AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU, PASTOR WILLIAMS.
10:20:43AM ROBIN LOCKETT, FOLLOWED BY JASON REEKMANS.
10:20:50AM JASON WILL BE THE LAST SPEAKER.
10:20:52AM >> GOOD MORNING, COUNCIL.
10:20:53AM I HAVE A CONCERN, YESTERDAY, I WAS IN THE BUDGET HEARING.
10:20:57AM I DIDN'T STAY THE WHOLE ENTIRE TIME BECAUSE IT GOT LATE, BUT
10:21:05AM MONEY GOING TOWARD HOUSING.
10:21:07AM I UNDERSTAND THAT 30% OF IT IS COMING FROM THE CRA, WHICH
10:21:11AM WAS OUTLINED YEARS AGO.
10:21:18AM IF NO OTHER MONEY IS BEING AFFORDED TO HOUSING AND YOU'RE
10:21:20AM JUST LOOKING AT THE CRA, WHAT ABOUT THE PEOPLE THAT DON'T
10:21:23AM LIVE WITHIN CRA DISTRICTS?
10:21:26AM WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO THEM?
10:21:28AM IT WAS SAID THAT THE THREE HUNDRED AND SOME ODD MILLION
10:21:39AM DOLLARS THAT'S COMING TO THE COUNTY, THAT THE CITY IS
10:21:42AM EXPECTING SOME OF THAT FOR HOUSING.
10:21:45AM I'VE HEARD FROM THE COUNTY, THE COUNTY IS CREATING THEIR OWN
10:21:49AM PLAN FOR THAT MONEY TO COVER HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY AND THE
10:21:52AM CITY FOR DISASTER RECOVERY.
10:21:55AM SO THE CITY IS SAYING THEY'LL GET MONEY TO HANDLE HOUSING,
10:22:00AM IT'S GOING TO BE HANDLED THROUGH -- FROM THE COUNTY
10:22:04AM DIRECTLY.
10:22:04AM I'M JUST KIND OF CONFUSED AND CONCERNED THAT NO OTHER MONEY
10:22:09AM IS BEING OUTLINED FOR HOUSING.
10:22:11AM OF COURSE, I WANT YOU ALL TO FULLY SUPPORT THE YELLOW
10:22:15AM JACKETS AND REBUILDING THE YELLOW JACKETS AND MAKING THEM
10:22:18AM WHOLE.
10:22:19AM 100% FOR THIS -- BEFORE THIS ADMINISTRATION LEAVES.
10:22:23AM THANK YOU.
10:22:23AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU, MS. LOCKETT.
10:22:25AM JASON REEKMANS.
10:22:29AM >> GOOD MORNING, COUNCIL.
10:22:30AM SORRY.
10:22:37AM I PRINTED THIS YESTERDAY.
10:22:41AM THIS IS A MAP OF EAST TAMPA.
10:22:45AM TWO THINGS.
10:22:46AM THE FIRST THING IS, YOU CAN'T BUY VEGETABLES IN EAST TAMPA.
10:22:54AM LIKE, IF YOU LIVE CLOSE TO -- THE BOTTOM, THE SOUTHERN PART
10:23:02AM OF EAST TAMPA -- IF YOU LIVE DOWN HERE, IF YOU DON'T HAVE A
10:23:11AM CAR, IT TAKES YOU AN HOUR EITHER BY BUS OR BY -- OR IF YOU
10:23:20AM HAVE TO WALK, IT WOULD TAKE YOU AN HOUR TO GET TO THE
10:23:22AM WALMART SUPER CENTER ON HILLSBOROUGH AVENUE.
10:23:25AM AND I DON'T THINK THAT'S JUST.
10:23:28AM THAT'S NOT FAIR.
10:23:29AM IT'S NOT RIGHT.
10:23:29AM IT'S NOT EQUITABLE.
10:23:32AM 30 MINUTES TO GET THERE BY BUS.
10:23:38AM YOU HAVE A FEW DIFFERENT BUS ROUTES.
10:23:40AM YOU GUYS UNDERSTAND.
10:23:41AM IF I WERE TO INVITE YOU GUYS OVER TO MY MODEST HOME IN EAST
10:23:45AM TAMPA, HEY, I'LL COOK SOMETHING FOR DINNER, IF I WANT TO GET
10:23:48AM ZUCCHINI, SQUASH OR SOME SALMON, CAN'T DO IT.
10:23:52AM CAN'T DO IT IN THAT AREA.
10:23:54AM IT'S NOT RIGHT.
10:23:55AM I DID PUT FORTH A PROPOSAL TO BUILD AFFORDABLE HOUSING THAT
10:24:00AM WOULD ANSWER OR THAT WOULD PROVIDE FOR THE NEED OF THE
10:24:07AM COMMUNITY AND RESOLVE THE SITUATION.
10:24:10AM I JUST WANT YOUR HELP REALLY.
10:24:12AM I WANT TO BE ABLE TO REACH OUT TO YOU GUYS AND KIND OF
10:24:15AM EXPLAIN WHAT MY IDEA IS AND JUST TO GET YOUR SUPPORT.
10:24:18AM THE SECOND THING I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT IS AFFORDABLE
10:24:21AM HOUSING.
10:24:22AM I LIVE IN YBOR.
10:24:25AM THESE ARE TWO HOUSES THAT I PASS ALL THE TIME WHEN I'M
10:24:29AM WALKING.
10:24:29AM THAT IS A 500-SQUARE-FOOT HOUSE.
10:24:32AM THIS IS A 700-SQUARE-FOOT HOUSE OR 750, APPROXIMATELY,
10:24:38AM INDIVIDUALLY ON A THOUSAND SQUARE FOOT LOT.
10:24:40AM AND IT HAS SPACE IN THE BACK FOR TWO PARKING PATHS.
10:24:44AM TWO VEHICLES CAN PARK BEHIND EACH HOUSE.
10:24:47AM WHENEVER I GO TO ZONING AND I SAY, HEY, I HAVE A LOT.
10:24:54AM IT'S FOR SALE.
10:24:55AM I WANT TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS, I'M TOLD, OH, NO, IT'S
10:24:59AM DIFFERENT.
10:25:00AM SAME DISTRICT BUT IT'S DIFFERENT RULES.
10:25:02AM THIS IS 4th AVENUE.
10:25:08AM LIKE CONDOS, RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER FROM THERE, THESE ARE
10:25:11AM 1500-SQUARE-FOOT TOWNHOMES THAT CAN EASILY BE PUT IN EAST
10:25:15AM TAMPA.
10:25:16AM 4th AVENUE IS NOT A CORRIDOR.
10:25:22AM IF YOU GO WEST, IT DEAD-ENDS AT CONSTRUCTION.
10:25:25AM IF YOU GO EAST, IT DEAD-ENDS THE OTHER WAY.
10:25:29AM I JUST WANT YOUR SUPPORT IN RESOLVING THE SITUATION.
10:25:31AM THAT'S ALL.
10:25:32AM THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.
10:25:38AM >>LYNN HURTAK: I'LL HAVE MY AIDE MS. SCHARF COME OUT AND
10:25:41AM GIVE YOU SOME CONTACT INFORMATION.
10:25:43AM IF MS. SCHARF IS LISTENING TO ME, SHE WILL BE OUT IN A
10:25:46AM MOMENT.
10:25:47AM >> THANK YOU, GUYS.

10:26:23AM BASED ON RESEARCH THAT I'VE BEEN DOING FOR THE YEAR 2026 AND
10:26:28AM 2027, IT'S GOING TO BE DEVASTATING ON OUR COMMUNITIES.
10:26:34AM OUR RESPONSE IS TECHNOLOGY, WEALTH BUILDING AND JOB CREATION

10:29:48AM MY BACKGROUND IS IN PLANNING BUT I ALSO HAVE A BACKGROUND IN

10:31:51AM FORWARD TO HAVING SOMEBODY WHO HAS THAT EXPERIENCE BUT ALSO

10:32:16AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: PULL THAT FOR DISCUSSION.
10:32:17AM >>LYNN HURTAK: NO, I JUST WANTED TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
10:32:23AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK, NUMBER 5, WHAT WOULD
10:32:24AM YOU LIKE TO SAY ABOUT IT?
10:32:24AM >>LYNN HURTAK: I WANT TO SAY THAT WE RECEIVED A LOT OF
10:32:27AM E-MAILS ABOUT FLOCK AND THE AUTOMATED LICENSE PLATE READERS.
10:32:31AM I DID SPEAK TO CHIEF BERCAW ABOUT IT.
10:32:34AM I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF YOU HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT.
10:32:37AM BUT HE ASSURED ME THAT THEY HAVE TO FOLLOW SPECIFIC CERTAIN
10:32:40AM RULES, THAT THEY AREN'T ALLOWED TO JUST SHARE IT
10:32:43AM WILLY-NILLY.
10:32:44AM THAT THE ONLY TIME THEY ARE ALLOWED TO USE THIS TECHNOLOGY
10:32:46AM IS TO SHARE IT WITH OTHER AGENCIES WHEN THEY HAVE AN OPEN
10:32:52AM CASE.
10:32:52AM I TRUST THAT CHIEF BERCAW KNOWS WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT.
10:32:58AM ANY SORT OF USE LIKE THAT WOULD HAVE TO CROSS HIS DESK.
10:33:01AM THAT -- I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE I TALKED TO THE PUBLIC
10:33:05AM ABOUT THAT.
10:33:06AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
10:33:07AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: LIKEWISE.
10:33:08AM I HAD THE SAME CONVERSATION WITH THE CHIEF.

10:33:24AM AGAIN, SAME AS COUNCIL MEMBER HURTAK.
10:33:28AM I HAD MY QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS RESOLVED.
10:33:33AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
10:33:35AM >>BILL CARLSON: SAME THING, TO SAY IT MORE DIRECTLY TO
10:33:37AM ANYBODY CONCERNED, CHIEF BERCAW SAID THEY DON'T SHARE
10:33:40AM INFORMATION WITH OTHER AGENCIES UNLESS THERE IS A SPECIFIC
10:33:43AM OPEN CASE FOR A SPECIFIC PERSON.
10:33:45AM SO IT'S NOT AN AUTOMATIC THING WHERE INFORMATION IS SHARED.
10:33:50AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCILMAN VIERA.
10:33:50AM WHEN YOU ARE FINISHED, WOULD YOU MOVE ITEMS 5 AND 6.

10:34:04AM OBVIOUSLY GIVEN THE ALLEGATIONS OF POTENTIAL WITH WHAT'S
10:34:11AM HAPPENING ON THE FEDERAL LEVEL WITH IMMIGRATION, SOMETHING

10:34:17AM ANGRY OVER THE XENOPHOBIA, PREJUDICE, BIGOTRY AND RACISM I'M

10:36:23AM THE INFLATION, BUT WE DID A BIG JUMP.

10:38:10AM THE DRONE FIRST RESPONDER PROGRAM -- IT WASN'T REALLY A
10:38:17AM RIDE-ALONG.
10:38:17AM MORE AN OFFICE-ALONG, WHERE I GOT TO SEE WHERE THEY ARE
10:38:20AM STORED AND LEARN HOW THEY USE THEM FOR PARADES AND OTHER
10:38:26AM SUCH EVENTS AND HOW THEY ARE BEHIND IN THE PROGRAM.
10:38:29AM THIS WILL DO MANY THINGS, BUT ALSO HELP KIND OF CROWD
10:38:32AM CONTROL, WHICH IS WHY THEY ARE BEING PUT THROUGH -- OR WHY
10:38:39AM -- THAT IS WHY THEY ARE GOING TO BE IN DOWNTOWN IN YBOR
10:38:42AM FIRST AND REALLY JUST, THIS IS A TOTAL FOR THE NEXT NINE
10:38:47AM YEARS.
10:38:47AM SO IT'S NOT A ONE-TIME THING.
10:38:50AM AND WE DO HAVE TO ALLOCATE THAT MONEY EVERY YEAR.
10:38:53AM WE CAN SEE HOW THIS WORKS, SEE WHAT WE THINK OF IT.
10:38:56AM I ENCOURAGE ALL OF MY COLLEAGUES TO GO AND VISIT THE DRONE
10:39:00AM PROGRAM IS REALLY INTERESTING.
10:39:02AM KEEPING UP WITH TECHNOLOGY IS REALLY HARD, BUT IT'S REALLY
10:39:06AM INTERESTING TO SEE HOW THEY DO IT.
10:39:08AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
10:39:09AM >>BILL CARLSON: JUST TO ADD TO THAT, CHIEF BERCAW ALSO
10:39:12AM TALKED ABOUT HOW THIS IS CHEAPER THAN HELICOPTERS.
10:39:16AM REQUIRES LESS MANPOWER THAN HELICOPTERS.
10:39:18AM WE NEED ALL OF OUR OFFICERS IN THE FIELD.
10:39:23AM ALSO, WE'VE HAD A FAIR NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS OF PEOPLE THAT
10:39:25AM COMPLAIN ABOUT HELICOPTERS HOVERING OVER NEIGHBORHOODS FOR
10:39:28AM EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME.
10:39:30AM HE IS HOPEFUL THAT THESE WILL EVENTUALLY REPLACE THAT, SO IT
10:39:34AM WILL BE LESS INTRUSIVE FOR PEOPLE AS WELL.
10:39:37AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: VERY GOOD.
10:39:37AM WE HAVE A MOTION AND SECOND TO MOVE 29, 30, 31.

10:40:05AM I'M GOING TO START SAYING NO BECAUSE WE NEED TO DO THAT.
10:40:11AM THERE ARE MONIES COMING IN FROM OTHER PLACES.
10:40:13AM JUST AS WE HEARD LAST NIGHT, THIS IS LEADING TO SOME BIGGER
10:40:16AM INVESTMENT.
10:40:17AM WE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO DO IT RIGHT NOW.
10:40:19AM IT WILL END UP IN MASSIVE DEBT.

10:40:22AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I'M GOING TO SUPPORT IT.
10:40:24AM I SIT AS A MEMBER OF THE STREETCAR BOARD.

10:40:55AM I'VE ALWAYS BEEN SUPPORTIVE OF THE PROJECT.
10:40:57AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THIS MONEY HAD ALREADY BEEN ALLOCATED FROM
10:41:00AM THE CRA.
10:41:00AM IT'S NOT NEW MONEY.
10:41:01AM IT'S SHIFTING IT FROM ONE BUDGET TO THE OTHER.
10:41:04AM THIS IS NOT ALLOCATIONS OF NEW MONEY.
10:41:06AM THIS IS MOVING IT FROM THE BUDGET THAT WE APPROVED A
10:41:09AM PREVIOUS YEAR.

10:41:42AM MARTY OR SOMEBODY, HOW COME IN A CASE LIKE THIS WE HAVE A
10:41:47AM LIGHT AGENDA, WE HAVE A 1:30.
10:41:49AM WHY COULDN'T THE 1:30 HAVE BEEN SCHEDULED FOR 10:30?
10:41:52AM ISN'T IT POSSIBLE IF THERE IS A LIGHTER SCHEDULE THAT WE CAN
10:41:58AM PUT 1:30 AT 10:30 INSTEAD?
10:42:00AM >>MARTIN SHELBY: WHEN WE SENT OUT THE NOTICE FOR THIS OR
10:42:03AM WHEN WE BROUGHT IT TO COUNCIL TO HAVE THE RESOLUTION FOR
10:42:05AM THIS, THERE WAS A LOT OF DISCUSSION I HAD WITH THE LEGAL
10:42:07AM DEPARTMENT AND WITH STAFF ABOUT HOW WE'RE GOING TO HANDLE
10:42:10AM THE LOGISTICS FOR THE 1:30.
10:42:13AM WE DID NOT KNOW AT THAT TIME HOW MANY SECOND READINGS WE
10:42:16AM WERE GOING TO HAVE.
10:42:17AM WE DIDN'T KNOW HOW MANY VACATIONS WE WERE GOING TO HAVE.
10:42:19AM ALSO THE FACT THAT, FRANKLY, THE WAY THIS FELL WITH A
10:42:24AM PREVIOUS REGULAR MEETING.
10:42:25AM WE HAD TWO CONSECUTIVE REGULAR MEETINGS NEXT TO EACH OTHER.
10:42:30AM THE SECOND REGULAR MEETING IS USUALLY LIGHTER.
10:42:32AM I WISH WE COULD MOVE THAT UP.
10:42:34AM RIGHT NOW, YOU COULD TAKE ALL YOUR STAFF REPORTS.
10:42:36AM FIRST OF ALL, I CANNOT TELL YOU, BY THE WAY, HOW LONG YOUR
10:42:40AM 10:30 PUBLIC HEARING IS GOING TO TAKE.
10:42:42AM THEN YOU COULD TAKE UP THE STAFF REPORTS.
10:42:44AM THEN YOU CAN COME BACK TO 1:30.
10:42:47AM I CANNOT TELL YOU, FRANKLY, WITH THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO
10:42:51AM WILL HAVE TO COME IN, HOW LONG THAT EXACTLY WILL TAKE.
10:42:54AM AND WE WANTED TO SET A CHUNK OF TIME ASIDE FOR THAT.

10:47:38AM IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE YOU'VE HAD A SETTLEMENT RESULTING
10:47:40AM FROM A FLUEDRA, SO I WANT TO MAKE A FEW BRIEF COMMENTS
10:47:44AM BEFORE I TURN IT OVER TO THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, THE OWNER

10:48:04AM ALTHOUGH THE PROCESS FOR TODAY'S HEARING REQUIRED NOTICE AND
10:48:07AM PROVIDES DUE PROCESS, IT IS A LEGISLATIVE DECISION BY YOU

10:48:42AM SPECIAL MAGISTRATE'S REPORT IS A PUBLIC RECORD, ALL THE
10:48:45AM ACTIONS AND STATEMENTS CONTAINED THEREIN ARE AN OFFER TO
10:48:49AM SETTLE AND COMPROMISE -- OFFER TO COMPROMISE AND SETTLE
10:48:53AM THIS, INADMISSIBLE IN ANY PROCEEDING.
10:48:56AM I MENTION THIS IN THE EVENT YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE
10:48:59AM POSSIBILITY OF SETTING A PRECEDENT IF THIS REVISED DESIGN IS
10:49:03AM APPROVED.
10:49:03AM THIS CASE HAS A LONG, LONG, LONG PROCEDURAL HISTORY.
10:49:06AM BEAR WITH ME.
10:49:07AM I'LL GIVE YOU THE OVERVIEW OF THE HISTORY.
10:49:09AM THE PROPERTY AT ISSUE IS LOCATED AT 1715 EAST 4th AVENUE,
10:49:13AM 1411 NORTH 17th STREET AND 1707 EAST 4th AVENUE IN YBOR
10:49:19AM CITY.
10:49:19AM THE DESIGN AND PLAN FOR THE IMPROVEMENTS WENT BEFORE THE
10:49:22AM BARRIO LATINO COMMISSION BLC ON MARCH 26, 2024.
10:49:28AM FOLLOWING A PUBLIC HEARING, THE BLC APPROVED A CERTIFICATE
10:49:30AM OF APPROPRIATENESS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW FOUR-LEVEL
10:49:34AM APARTMENT COMPLEX OVER A ONE-LEVEL PARKING WITH SITE
10:49:36AM IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE PROPERTY.
10:49:38AM IN ACCORDANCE WITH CITY'S CODE THE PROPERTY OWNER PREVIOUSLY
10:49:42AM SECURED AN OFF-SITE PARKING AGREEMENT TO SUPPORT SOME OF THE
10:49:45AM REQUIRED PARKING COUNT NEEDED FOR THE DEVELOPMENT.
10:49:48AM FOLLOWING BLC APPROVAL ON APRIL 10, 2024, A PETITION FOR
10:49:51AM REVIEW OF THE BLC DECISION WAS FILED ON BEHALF OF AN
10:49:55AM AGGRIEVED PERSON, NICK CAPITANO, INC. BY ATTORNEY MARK
10:49:59AM BENTLEY.
10:50:00AM AUGUST 1, 2024, CITY COUNCIL HELD A REVIEW HEARING REGARDING
10:50:04AM APPROVAL OF THE CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS BY THE BLC.
10:50:07AM AT THAT TIME, CITY COUNCIL OVERTURNED THE BLC APPROVAL BY A
10:50:10AM VOTE OF 4-2, AND FOUND THE NEW CONSTRUCTION AND SITE
10:50:14AM IMPROVEMENTS NOT CONSISTENT WITH CITY CODE, THE YBOR CITY
10:50:18AM DESIGN GUIDELINES SECRETARY OF INTERIOR STANDARDS.
10:50:21AM COUNCIL FOUND THE PROPOSED PROJECT IS, QUOTE, HIGHER AND
10:50:24AM MORE BULKIER, UNQUOTE THAN SURROUNDING PROPERTIES AND ALSO
10:50:29AM FOUND THAT THE OFF-SITE PARKING AGREEMENT DID NOT ADEQUATELY
10:50:32AM MEET OR ENSURE THE REQUIRED PARKING WOULD BE MET ON-SITE.
10:50:35AM ON AUGUST 30, 2024, ABOUT A YEAR AGO, THE OWNER'S ATTORNEY,
10:50:39AM JIM SHIMBERG FILED A REQUEST FOR RELIEF WITH THE CITY
10:50:43AM PURSUANT TO SECTION 7051.
10:50:45AM THAT IS THE FLUEDRA SECTION.
10:50:47AM REQUEST FOR RELIEF WAS ORIGINALLY FILED AND SENT YOU A MEMO
10:50:50AM AT THAT TIME DESCRIBING THAT WE WOULD NOW ENTER INTO AN
10:50:53AM ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDING TO TRY TO RESOLVE THE ISSUES
10:50:56AM RAISED IN THE FLUEDRA.
10:50:57AM THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE WILL DESCRIBE THE INFORMAL MEDIATION
10:51:02AM THAT OCCURRED WITH CITY MEMBERS AND THE OWNER TO CONSIDER
10:51:06AM ALTERNATIVE DEVELOPMENT PLANS THAT ARE RESPONSIVE TO CITY
10:51:09AM COUNCIL'S EXPRESSED CONCERNS AT THE REVIEW HEARING.
10:51:12AM WE CONDUCTED TWO MEDIATION SESSIONS.
10:51:15AM THE FIRST ON FEBRUARY 28, 2025, AND A SECOND ON APRIL 14,
10:51:18AM 2025.
10:51:19AM AT THE SECOND MEDIATION, OWNER'S TEAM PRESENTED A
10:51:24AM SIGNIFICANTLY REVISED PLAN THAT WAS INTENDED TO ADDRESS THE
10:51:28AM BASIS FOR COUNCIL'S DENIAL.
10:51:30AM COMMENTS WERE RECEIVED BY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WHO WERE IN
10:51:32AM ATTENDANCE AT THE MEDIATION.
10:51:34AM STEPHANIE POYNOR, MARK BENTLEY, RYAN MANASSE.
10:51:38AM AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE MEDIATION, THE CITY AGREED TO
10:51:41AM PRESENT THE REVISED PLAN TO THE BLC FOR RECOMMENDATION AND
10:51:44AM THEN TO THE CITY COUNCIL FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.
10:51:47AM TODAY'S HEARING IS PART ONE AND THE FIRST STEP OF THE
10:51:50AM FLUEDRA PROCESS AND WILL REQUIRE TO YOU CONSIDER THE REVISED
10:51:54AM PLAN AS A PROPOSED SETTLEMENT OF ISSUES RAISED IN AUGUST OF
10:51:57AM 2024 AND IN AN EFFORT TO FORESTALL ANY FUTURE POTENTIAL
10:52:01AM LITIGATION.
10:52:02AM IF YOU DO REJECT TODAY'S SETTLEMENT, THEN THE OWNER IS
10:52:06AM ENTITLED TO MOVE TO A STEP TWO IN THE PROCESS WHICH IS AN
10:52:09AM ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESS WHERE THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE WOULD
10:52:12AM DETERMINE IF CITY COUNCIL'S ACTION ON AUGUST 2024 WAS
10:52:17AM UNREASONABLE OR UNFAIRLY BURDENS THE PROPERTY.
10:52:19AM THE OWNER WILL BE UP AFTER THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE TO DISCUSS
10:52:22AM THE PROPOSED PROJECT REDESIGN TODAY.
10:52:24AM THE DESIGN IS MUCH DIFFERENT THAN THAT WHICH YOU SAW A YEAR
10:52:27AM AGO.
10:52:27AM IT INCLUDES AN ON-SITE LIFT PARKING ARRANGEMENT SCREENED
10:52:32AM FROM SITE AND LOCATED ENTIRELY UNDER THE BUILDING.
10:52:35AM SO THERE IS AN ALLEY PARKING THAT WAS DESIGNED IN ACCORDANCE
10:52:38AM WITH CODE REQUIREMENT.
10:52:40AM SO NO WAIVERS OR EXCEPTIONS ARE REQUIRED AND THE UPDATED
10:52:43AM DESIGN OF THE BUILDING STRUCTURE HAS BEEN REVISED
10:52:47AM SIGNIFICANTLY TO ALLEVIATE THE MASSING THAT WAS A CONCERN OF
10:52:50AM COUNCIL.
10:52:50AM IN THE INTEREST OF EFFICIENCY FOR ALL INVOLVED, ALL ELEMENTS
10:52:53AM DISCUSSED AT THE MEDIATION AND COMMENTED ON IN THE FLUEDRA
10:52:59AM MEDIATION ARE INCLUDED IN THE TEXT OF THE SETTLEMENT
10:53:01AM AGREEMENT SO THERE WILL BE NO ADDITIONAL ADMINISTRATIVE
10:53:04AM APPROVALS OR ACTION REQUIRED.
10:53:05AM THE PROPOSED DESIGN AND SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT WAS PRESENTED
10:53:08AM IN A FULLY NOTICED PUBLIC HEARING BEFORE THE BARRIO LATINO
10:53:10AM COMMISSION ON MAY 27, 2025.
10:53:14AM NO MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC APPEARED OR SPOKE AT THE BLC
10:53:17AM HEARING.
10:53:18AM AND THE BLC FOUND THAT THE PROPOSED REDESIGN IS CONSISTENT
10:53:20AM WITH CITY CODE, YBOR CITY DESIGN GUIDELINES AND THE
10:53:24AM SECRETARY OF INTERIOR STANDARDS.
10:53:25AM THE BLC RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL APPROVE THE SETTLEMENT
10:53:28AM AGREEMENT AND RECOMMENDED AFTER APPROVAL OF THE SETTLEMENT
10:53:31AM AGREEMENT THAT YOU AUTHORIZE THE ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW AND
10:53:34AM HISTORIC PRESERVATION MANAGER ADMINISTRATOR TO ISSUE THE CA
10:53:38AM FOR THIS PROJECT.
10:53:39AM I'VE INCLUDED IN YOUR BACKUP THE MINUTES FROM THE BLC
10:53:42AM MEETING ON MAY 27, 2025.
10:53:44AM AND I'VE ALSO INCLUDED THE OPTIONS FOR YOUR MOTION.
10:53:50AM IN CLOSING, THE PROJECT BEFORE YOU IS VERY DIFFERENT FROM
10:53:52AM WHAT COUNCIL DENIED IN AUGUST 2024, BUT SO IS YOUR ROLE.
10:53:56AM AS I MENTIONED, YOU ARE CONSIDERING A SETTLEMENT PROPOSAL
10:53:58AM AND THUS YOUR ACTION TODAY ON THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT IS
10:54:02AM LEGISLATIVE.
10:54:02AM BECAUSE THIS IS A SETTLEMENT PROPOSAL, THERE ARE OTHER
10:54:05AM FACTORS THAT CITY COUNCIL SHOULD TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION
10:54:07AM WHEN MAKING YOUR DECISION, INCLUDING THE FACT THAT IF THE
10:54:10AM PROPOSED SETTLEMENT IS APPROVED, IT WILL RESOLVE THE PENDING
10:54:14AM FLUEDRA PROCEEDING AND LIMIT POTENTIAL LIABILITY, LEGAL
10:54:18AM LIABILITY FOR THE CITY.
10:54:19AM AS YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU, YOU HAVE THE MOTION -- SAMPLE MOTION
10:54:23AM PAGE.
10:54:23AM YOU HAVE THREE OPTIONS.
10:54:24AM AFTER HEARING ALL THE EVIDENCE AND TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION
10:54:28AM ALL RELEVANT MATTERS, YOU MAY ACCEPT THE MEDIATED SETTLEMENT
10:54:31AM AND AUTHORIZE STAFF TO IMPLEMENT THE SETTLEMENT.
10:54:33AM IN THIS CASE, IMPLEMENTATION WILL REQUIRE SECOND MOTION TO
10:54:36AM REQUEST THAT THE CA BE ISSUED.
10:54:40AM YOU MAY REJECT THE SETTLEMENT OR YOU MAY MODIFY THE MEDIATED
10:54:44AM SETTLEMENT, BUT THIS CAN ONLY OCCUR WITH THE CONCURRENCE OF
10:54:47AM THE OWNER WHO IS PRESENT TODAY.
10:54:49AM THE ORDER OF PRESENTATION WILL BE AS FOLLOWS.
10:54:51AM TURN IT OVER TO SPECIAL MAGISTRATE SCOTT STEADY TO DISCUSS
10:54:54AM THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT.
10:54:55AM AND THEN THE OWNER WILL COME UP AND PRESENT THE PROJECT.
10:54:58AM FOLLOWING THE OWNER'S PRESENTATION, CITY STAFF WILL OPINE
10:55:01AM UPON THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND THE COMMENTS OF STAFF ON
10:55:05AM THE PROPOSED SETTLEMENT.
10:55:06AM WE HAVE ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW AND HISTORIC PRESERVATION
10:55:10AM MANAGER DENNIS FERNANDEZ, ZONING ADMINISTRATOR ERIC COTTON,
10:55:12AM AND MOBILITY PLANNER JOHN MARSH HERE IF YOU HAVE ANY
10:55:16AM QUESTIONS OF STAFF.
10:55:17AM IF YOU HAVE NO QUESTIONS OF ME, I'LL TURN IT OVER TO
10:55:19AM MR. STEADY.
10:55:22AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: ANY QUESTIONS?
10:55:25AM >> SCOTT STEADY.
10:55:26AM I DID SERVE AS THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, BASICALLY THE
10:55:29AM MEDIATOR.
10:55:30AM DANA DID A GREAT JOB OF REITERATING EVERYTHING.
10:55:33AM I'LL BRIEFLY COMMENT THAT WE HAD TWO SESSIONS IN FEBRUARY OF
10:55:38AM THIS YEAR.
10:55:39AM PRETTY MUCH DEALT WITH THE PARKING ISSUE.
10:55:42AM ALL ON-SITE.
10:55:44AM STAFF FELT STILL NEEDED TO BE IMPROVEMENTS OR CHANGES TO THE
10:55:48AM PHYSICAL BUILDING.
10:55:49AM DIRECTION BACK TO THE DEVELOPER.
10:55:50AM GOOD DISCUSSIONS.
10:55:51AM CAME BACK IN APRIL WITH SIGNIFICANT CHANGES, WHICH MADE THE
10:55:55AM STAFF COMFORTABLE TO BRING IT BACK TO CITY COUNCIL WITH MY
10:55:59AM RECOMMENDATION AS WELL.
10:56:00AM UNLESS THERE ARE ANY COMMENTS, I SUGGEST WE HEAR FROM THE
10:56:03AM APPLICANT DEVELOPER.
10:56:04AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU, MAGISTRATE.
10:56:06AM WE'LL HEAR FROM THE APPLICANT, MR. SHIMBERG.
10:56:12AM >> APPRECIATE IT, THANK YOU.
10:56:13AM >> GOOD MORNING, COUNCIL.
10:56:14AM MY NAME IS JIM SHIMBERG.
10:56:16AM I'M HERE REPRESENTING JAMES HETTINGER AND DON CLENDENON WHO
10:56:20AM ARE THE OWNERS AND DEVELOPERS OF THE PROJECT.
10:56:22AM IT'S BEEN A LONG ROAD SINCE THEY PURCHASED THE PROPERTY BACK
10:56:26AM IN 2022.
10:56:28AM YOU HEARD -- DANA DID A GREAT JOB OF KIND OF SUMMARIZING
10:56:32AM EVERYTHING FOR YOU.
10:56:32AM WE'VE BEEN TO THE BLC TWICE.
10:56:34AM BOTH TIMES WE RECEIVED APPROVAL.
10:56:36AM AFTER THE FIRST TIME, THERE WAS UNUSUAL SITUATION WHERE
10:56:39AM AGGRIEVED PROPERTY OWNER APPEALED.
10:56:42AM USUALLY IT'S SOMEBODY WHO DOES NOT GET THE APPROVAL AT THE
10:56:45AM BLC.
10:56:45AM COUNCIL, EVEN THOUGH TWO OF YOUR MEMBERS THOUGHT IT WAS A
10:56:48AM GREAT PROJECT, OVERTURNED THE DECISION.
10:56:52AM SINCE MY CLIENT IS VERY ADAMANT THAT THIS IS THE APPROPRIATE
10:56:55AM PROJECT IN THE RIGHT AREA AND DID COMPLY WITH CODE, WE'VE
10:56:58AM GONE THROUGH THIS SPECIAL PROCESS THAT THE FLORIDA STATUTES
10:57:03AM ALLOWS.
10:57:06AM SCOTT STEADY HAS DONE A REALLY GOOD JOB OF BRINGING THE
10:57:10AM PARTIES TOGETHER.
10:57:11AM IN MY OPINION, THE TWO ISSUES THAT COUNCIL WAS UNCOMFORTABLE
10:57:13AM ABOUT WHEN WE CAME BEFORE YOU THE LAST TIME, OFF-SITE
10:57:16AM PARKING ARRANGEMENT, WHICH WE HAD APPROVED, BUT THERE WERE
10:57:19AM STILL CHALLENGES WITH THAT THAT COUNCIL WAS NOT COMFORTABLE
10:57:22AM WITH, AND THEN ALSO SOME MASSING CONCERNS MR. MIRANDA RAISED
10:57:26AM AND SOME COUNCIL MEMBERS THOUGHT THERE WERE SOME CONCERNS
10:57:29AM ABOUT THAT.
10:57:30AM THROUGH THIS PROCESS, WE'VE GONE BACK.
10:57:32AM WE FIGURED OUT A WAY, AS DANA SAID, TO BRING ALL THE PARKING
10:57:36AM ON-SITE.
10:57:37AM THERE WILL BE AN ON-SITE ATTENDANT TO MONITOR THE LIFT.
10:57:44AM SOME OF THE SPACES WILL HAVE LIFTS WHERE YOU'LL HAVE TWO
10:57:47AM CARS.
10:57:47AM THE PARKING IS BROUGHT ON-SITE.
10:57:48AM NO OFF-SITE PARKING AGREEMENT WHICH REALLY WAS THE MAJORITY
10:57:51AM OF THE CONCERN OF MR. BENTLEY'S CLIENT.
10:57:54AM THERE WAS ALSO THE CONCERN ABOUT MASSING THAT WAS IN THE
10:57:56AM MOTION.
10:57:57AM WE WORKED REALLY HARD AND STEPHANIE, OUR ARCHITECT, WILL
10:58:01AM COME UP IN A SECOND AND WALK THROUGH SOME OF THE CHANGES IN
10:58:04AM A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL.
10:58:05AM SHE WORKED CLOSELY WITH YOUR STAFF TO TRY TO COME UP WITH
10:58:11AM SOMETHING THAT THEY BELIEVE WAS RESPONSIVE TO COUNCIL'S
10:58:14AM MOTION.
10:58:15AM WE'VE WORKED HARD.
10:58:17AM WE APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE BACK IN FRONT OF
10:58:20AM COUNCIL.
10:58:20AM I WANT TO TURN IT OVER TO STEPHANIE NOW TO GO THROUGH THE
10:58:23AM CHANGES IN A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL.
10:58:25AM WE'RE AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS.
10:58:26AM BOTH OF OUR CLIENT REPRESENTATIVES ARE HERE.
10:58:30AM THEY HAVE WORKED REALLY HARD.
10:58:31AM WE THINK IT REALLY WILL BE A GREAT PROJECT AND WILL BENEFIT
10:58:35AM YBOR.
10:58:36AM I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THE PEOPLE THAT ORIGINALLY FILED THE
10:58:41AM COMPLAINT ARE HERE.
10:58:42AM I BELIEVE THEY ARE SATISFIED.
10:58:43AM I'M NOT GOING TO SPEAK FOR THEM.
10:58:45AM COULD SHOW UP IN A MINUTE.
10:58:47AM I BELIEVE WE'VE ADDRESSED THE COMMENTS THAT WERE MADE AND
10:58:50AM THE CONCERNS OF COUNCIL.
10:58:51AM LET ME TURN IT OVER TO STEPHANIE TO MAKE A BRIEF
10:58:54AM PRESENTATION BECAUSE YOU'VE HEARD A LOT.
10:58:56AM >> GOOD MORNING.
10:58:57AM STEPHANIE GAINES WITH GROH ARCHITECTURE.
10:59:00AM THE MORE PEOPLE TALK, THE LESS I HAVE TO DO.
10:59:03AM MAINLY I'LL BE SHOWING VISUALS.
10:59:06AM SO AS EVERYONE HAS SAID, WE WERE CHARGED FROM SETTING UP THE
10:59:14AM FLUEDRA PROCESS, CHARGED WITH REDUCING THE MASSING, AND
10:59:18AM SOLVING THE DEFICIENT ON-SITE PARKING COUNT THAT WE HAD AT
10:59:23AM THE TIME.
10:59:23AM I'LL RUN THROUGH THIS VERY QUICKLY.
10:59:25AM THIS IS JUST TO REMIND EVERYBODY WHERE THE PROPERTY IS
10:59:29AM LOCATED AND ITS CONDITIONS.
10:59:33AM THE PROPERTY INVOLVES THIS ENTIRE NORTHERN FRONT OF THE
10:59:38AM BLOCK ON 4th AVENUE BETWEEN EAST 17th AND ANGEL OLIVA.
10:59:45AM IT INCLUDES ALSO MAINTAINING TWO HISTORIC STRUCTURES AND
10:59:51AM REUSING THOSE.
10:59:51AM AND THEN THIS PART OF THE SITE CURRENTLY HAS THE REMNANTS OF
10:59:56AM THE TAMBORELLO SERVICE STATION THAT WAS THERE FOR MANY, MANY
11:00:02AM YEARS.
11:00:02AM AND WHAT I'M SHOWING ON THIS IMAGE IS THE FOOTPRINT OF THE
11:00:09AM BUILDING AT THE GROUND LEVEL.
11:00:10AM AND IT HAS REALLY NOT CHANGED SINCE YOU SAW IT BEFORE.
11:00:15AM WHAT WE DO INTERNALLY TO IT AND AT THE UPPER LEVEL IS WHERE
11:00:19AM WE ADJUSTED, PROVIDED FOR THE PARKING AND ADJUSTED FOR THE
11:00:22AM MASSING.
11:00:23AM JUST VERY QUICKLY, THESE PARKING SPACES, THIS IS ALL UNDER
11:00:28AM THE BUILDING AND THIS IS -- THIS SYMBOL IS INDICATING WHERE
11:00:35AM WE HAVE THE COVERED STACKED PARKING SPACES.
11:00:37AM THE REST ARE UNCOVERED.
11:00:39AM THE PARKING COUNT REQUIRED IS 96 SPACES.
11:00:42AM THE EARLIER SCHEME HAD 69 ON-SITE AND 27 PROVIDED FOR
11:00:47AM OFF-SITE.
11:00:48AM WE NOW HAVE ALL 97 AND IF WE'RE LUCKY, WE'RE SHOWING 96
11:00:54AM REQUIRED, AND WE'RE SHOWING AN ADDITIONAL ONE THAT WE
11:00:58AM POTENTIALLY WILL GET ON THERE.
11:00:59AM WE ALSO WENT AHEAD AND SHOWED OUR ADDITIONAL PARKING
11:01:04AM ACCOMMODATIONS FOR NOT ONLY PRIVATE USE BUT PUBLIC USE.
11:01:08AM SO WE'VE GOT BICYCLE, PROVIDING 20 BICYCLES.
11:01:14AM WE'VE GOT THIS SPACE, CALLING ALTERNATE PARKING THAT WILL BE
11:01:17AM SHARED BETWEEN ALL THE USES ON THE BLOCK.
11:01:21AM AND THAT'S FOR THINGS LIKE SCOOTERS, MOTORCYCLES, GOLF
11:01:25AM CARTS.
11:01:26AM ANYTHING BESIDES A CAR OR BICYCLE.
11:01:28AM WE ARE SHOWING PARKING OFF THE ALLEY.
11:01:30AM THERE WAS SOME DISCUSSION.
11:01:33AM MARK HAD BROUGHT UP THAT THEY WERE CONCERNED THAT WE WERE
11:01:36AM NOT NEEDING THE BACKUP SPACE THAT'S NEEDED.
11:01:40AM REQUIRED 12 FEET AND THAT'S WHAT WE'VE ALWAYS SHOWN ON THIS.
11:01:44AM TRANSPORTATION HAS APPROVED IT.
11:01:45AM IT IS A LITTLE HARD TO READ -- OH, I DID WANT TO POINT OUT
11:01:48AM THAT OUR PROJECT SITS WITHIN THE YC 6 ZONING DISTRICT, WHICH
11:01:53AM IS 60-FOOT BUILDING HEIGHT.
11:01:55AM THE PROJECT WAS DESIGNED TO MEET THAT REQUIREMENT.
11:02:01AM ADJACENT TO THE PROPERTY, THOUGH, ESPECIALLY ALONG 4th
11:02:05AM AVENUE AND JUST A LITTLE BIT ON ANGEL OLIVIA IS 7 DISTRICT,
11:02:12AM WHICH IS MOSTLY A NEIGHBORHOOD, 45 FEET IN HEIGHT.
11:02:15AM THAT WILL COME INTO PLAY WITH THE STRATEGY THAT WE DEVELOPED
11:02:20AM TO MOVE FORWARD.
11:02:21AM THIS IS ONE WITH MY SCRIBBLY NOTES ON IT.
11:02:28AM THAT'S OKAY.
11:02:30AM JUST TO MAKE IT A LITTLE SIMPLER TO UNDERSTAND, WE TOOK AWAY
11:02:33AM EVERYTHING AND ENLARGED THIS DIAGRAM OF THE BUILDING.
11:02:36AM THE RED OUTLINE IS THE ORIGINAL, THE BEFORE OUTLINE OF THE
11:02:42AM BUILDING FOOTPRINT ALL THE WAY UP THROUGH THE FIFTH FLOOR.
11:02:46AM THE BLUE LINE IS THE SHIFTED MASSING FROM OFF OF 4th
11:02:51AM AVENUE WHERE WE DROPPED AN ENTIRE FLOOR SO THAT MOST OF THE
11:02:56AM FRONTAGE ON 4th AVENUE IS FOUR STORY, AND THAT SHIFTED
11:03:01AM SOME SQUARE FOOTAGE TO THE BACK OF THE BUILDING ON THE ALLEY
11:03:04AM SIDE.
11:03:05AM THIS IS A DIAGRAMMATIC -- SO SORRY ABOUT MY SCRIBBLES.
11:03:12AM NOW EVERYBODY KNOWS MY SECRETS.
11:03:14AM MICHAEL IS NORMALLY THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAS TO READ MY
11:03:18AM SCRIBBLES.
11:03:18AM THIS IS DIAGRAMMATICALLY WHAT WE DID.
11:03:20AM THE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED MASSING, AND THE NEW MASSING.
11:03:24AM SO WE DROPPED THIS ENTIRE LEVEL OFF OF THE FRONT.
11:03:27AM SO ALONG 4th AVENUE, YOU READ THE BUILDING AS A FOUR STORY
11:03:33AM BUILDING AND THE FIFTH FLOOR IS PUSHED BACK.
11:03:36AM WE ALSO ELIMINATED THESE TALL PEAKS THAT WENT UP TO 60 FEET.
11:03:40AM THOSE WERE THERE FOR -- TO ALLOW SHARED USE OF THE ROOFTOPS.
11:03:46AM WE REMOVED THAT OPTION, WHICH THE NEIGHBORS WILL BE HAPPY
11:03:50AM ABOUT AS WELL.
11:03:51AM WE MET WITH THEM.
11:03:52AM THEY SUPPORTED IT, BUT WE HAD MINIMIZED IT.
11:03:55AM NOW WE HAVE TAKEN IT OFF AND THE HIGHEST PORTION IS 56 FEET.
11:04:00AM THIS IS NOW PUTTING THIS IN PERSPECTIVE, MORE REALISTIC
11:04:07AM WHAT'S HAPPENING.
11:04:07AM SO THIS IS THE APPROVED OR THE PREVIOUS RENDERING.
11:04:13AM NOTICE IT IS -- NOTICE ITS RELATIVITY TO A FIVE STORY
11:04:18AM BUILDING TO THE WEST OF THE PROPERTY.
11:04:20AM THIS BLUE LINE IS DEMONSTRATING WHAT WE HAVE TAKEN OFF TO
11:04:24AM ACHIEVE THIS.
11:04:25AM DANA INCLUDED SO MANY THINGS IN HER PRESENTATION, BUT I WILL
11:04:31AM MENTION, SHE DID SAY THAT IT IS SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT.
11:04:34AM BUT THE THING THAT WE'RE PROUD OF ALSO, AND IT WAS CHARGED
11:04:38AM WITH US BY STAFF, IS TO MAINTAIN THE ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES
11:04:42AM THAT CREATE THE CHARACTERISTIC OF THE BUILDING.
11:04:45AM WHILE WE HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY CHANGED THE MASSING, THE
11:04:49AM BUILDING LOOKS LIKE IT DID ORIGINALLY.
11:04:52AM SO WE SIGNIFICANTLY DROPPED THIS FRONT.
11:04:55AM THESE WILL BECOME -- THE UNITS AT THIS LEVEL ARE PUSHED BACK
11:04:59AM 15 FEET FROM THE STREET AND THE ROOFTOPS HERE WILL BE PATIOS
11:05:06AM FOR THOSE PRIVATE UNITS ON THAT LEVEL.
11:05:08AM THIS IMAGE IS TAKEN AS IF YOU WERE FLOATING AT THE THIRD
11:05:14AM FLOOR LEVEL.
11:05:14AM SO THAT YOU COULD SEE WHAT WE'VE DONE.
11:05:18AM BUT AN EVEN BETTER -- OH, SHOOT.
11:05:21AM LET ME FOLD THAT OVER REAL QUICK.
11:05:31AM SO SORRY.
11:05:31AM THIS IS THE IMPORTANT PART.
11:05:33AM THIS IS TAKEN AT EYE-LEVEL VIEW AS A PEDESTRIAN.
11:05:36AM AND YOU CAN SEE THAT THIS MASSING, THIS TOP FLOOR DISAPPEARS
11:05:43AM COMPLETELY AND MOST OF THE BUILDING THEN IS A FOUR-STORY
11:05:45AM BUILDING AS OPPOSED TO STRAIGHT ACROSS FIVE-STORY BUILDING.
11:05:50AM AND I THINK THAT I ZIPPED THROUGH IT.
11:05:55AM I THINK THAT DESCRIBES IT.
11:05:57AM OF COURSE, WE'LL WELCOME QUESTIONS.
11:06:01AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
11:06:02AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, MA'AM.
11:06:04AM IS IT A RED BRICK FACADE?
11:06:07AM >> IT'S MOSTLY RED BRICK ON THE PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAYS.
11:06:12AM WE ARE USING STUCCO AS AN ACCENT.
11:06:17AM IT'S A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT MATERIALS.
11:06:20AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: RANDOM QUESTION, IF YOU DON'T KNOW THE
11:06:21AM ANSWER -- WHEN WAS STUCCO, WHEN DID THAT BECOME A THING?
11:06:25AM NEW CONSTRUCTION, I DON'T SEE STUCCO USED.
11:06:28AM STUFF AS FAR BACK AS THE '20s, MEDITERRANEAN STYLE, WHEN
11:06:33AM DID THAT BECOME COMMONPLACE?
11:06:35AM >> DENNIS MIGHT BE ABLE TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION BEFORE THAN
11:06:37AM ME.
11:06:37AM WE SEE STUCCO ON HISTORIC BUILDINGS IN YBOR MORE FROM THE
11:06:44AM '40s AND '50s.
11:06:46AM I'M SURE THERE WAS SOME BEFORE THAT.
11:06:51AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: NO, BECAUSE HOW I LOOK AT THIS, IT LOOKS
11:06:54AM LIKE YOU TOOK AN OLD BUILDING AND REPURPOSED IT WITH THE RED
11:06:58AM BRICK.
11:06:58AM AND THEN YOU ADDED SOMETHING BEHIND IT, WHICH IS THE STUCCO
11:07:01AM PART.
11:07:02AM IN TERMS OF THE MAKEUP AND CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD, IT
11:07:07AM FITS IN, IN MY OPINION.
11:07:08AM AGAIN, FROM EYE-LEVEL VIEW, IF I'M WALKING BY, OH, THEY
11:07:12AM GUTTED THE BUILDING, PRESERVED THE BRICK AND THEN DID
11:07:15AM SOMETHING NEW.
11:07:16AM >> I GUESS THAT'S A GOOD THING, YEAH.
11:07:18AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU.
11:07:19AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
11:07:20AM >>LYNN HURTAK: I JUST WANT YOU TO GO BACK TO THE ORIGINAL
11:07:23AM ONE AND SHOW ME WHERE THE BIKE PARKING IS.
11:07:27AM >> SURE.
11:07:27AM THE SITE PLAN.
11:07:29AM THAT'S WHERE WE HAVE THAT.
11:07:30AM >>LYNN HURTAK: SORRY.
11:07:31AM I'M KIND OF A BROKEN RECORD.
11:07:34AM >> I ZIPPED THROUGH.
11:07:36AM WE HAVE BIKE RACKS HERE AND HERE.
11:07:39AM >>LYNN HURTAK: THAT IS NOT GOING TO WORK FOR THE PEOPLE WHO
11:07:41AM LIVE THERE.
11:07:42AM THEY ARE GOING TO NEED PROTECTED BIKE PARKING.
11:07:46AM LIKE BEHIND GATES, THAT SORT OF THING.
11:07:49AM THAT'S WHAT I'M GOING TO LOOK FOR.
11:07:50AM I KNOW THIS IS NOT TECHNICALLY PART OF THIS.
11:07:53AM BUT OPEN BIKE RACKS FOR PEOPLE THAT HAVE E-BIKES THAT ARE
11:07:57AM THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS, THAT'S NOT GOING TO CUT IT.
11:07:59AM SO WHEN PEOPLE COME IN FRONT OF US, GENERALLY SPEAKING, THAT
11:08:03AM IS WHAT I ASK FOR, COVERED PROTECTED BIKE PARKING FOR THE
11:08:08AM FOLKS WHO LIVE THERE.
11:08:09AM BECAUSE IF WE WANT TO MAKE THIS A WALKABLE AND BIKEABLE
11:08:12AM COMMUNITY, WE REALLY NEED TO PROVIDE PEOPLE WITH THAT
11:08:15AM OPPORTUNITY.
11:08:17AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU.
11:08:18AM ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS?
11:08:19AM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
11:08:27AM >> WE'LL GO AHEAD AND RESERVE ANY FURTHER TIME -- DENNIS GO
11:08:31AM AHEAD AND GIVE YOU HIS THOUGHTS.
11:08:32AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: MR. FERNANDEZ.
11:08:33AM TALK TO US ABOUT STUCCO.
11:08:38AM >> GOOD MORNING.
11:08:39AM DENNIS FERNANDEZ, ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW AND HISTORIC
11:08:41AM PRESERVATION.
11:08:42AM THE FIRST ISSUE WITH STUCCO IS IT DATES BACK EVEN BEFORE THE
11:08:47AM TERM STUCCO, PLASTER WAS USED EXTERIOR.
11:08:52AM THAT GOES BACK TO THE GREEK ERA.
11:08:56AM A LOT OF THOSE TYPES OF TRADES CAME WITH THE IMMIGRANT
11:09:00AM POPULATION INTO YBOR CITY AND WERE SORT OF UTILIZED
11:09:04AM DIFFERENTLY.
11:09:05AM HOWEVER, THE PREFERRED FIRE RESISTANT METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION
11:09:09AM AFTER THE EARLY 1900 ERA FIRES IN YBOR WAS VITRIFIED BRICK
11:09:16AM FOR ITS FIRE RETARDANT CAPABILITIES.
11:09:19AM NOW, STUCCO HAS BECOME A NICE OPPORTUNITY TO DIFFERENTIATE
11:09:25AM THE TRADITIONAL BUILDING MATERIALS IN YBOR CITY AND PERHAPS
11:09:29AM INTRODUCE THAT ELEMENT THAT SIGNIFIES IT AS NEW, NOT TO
11:09:34AM CONFUSE THE OLD AND THE NEW, WHICH IS ONE OF THE PRINCIPAL
11:09:38AM GOALS IN NEW CONSTRUCTION IN HISTORIC DISTRICT.
11:09:40AM BACK TO THE FLUEDRA SETTLEMENT, I THINK IT'S BEEN VOICED
11:09:45AM ALREADY, THIS REALLY WAS APPROACHED AS A COLLABORATIVE
11:09:49AM EFFORT TO BRING WHAT WE FELT WAS A VERY NICE AND NEEDED
11:09:54AM PROJECT INTO THE HISTORIC DISTRICT IN A MANNER THAT
11:09:58AM INTEGRATES APPROPRIATELY INTO NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARK
11:10:03AM DISTRICT.
11:10:04AM FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, I APPROACHED IT TO RESPOND TO THE
11:10:07AM CONCERNS OF COUNCIL WITH BOTH THE PARKING AND WITH THE SCALE
11:10:12AM AND MASSING.
11:10:14AM PARKING IS A CHALLENGING ISSUE IN AN HISTORIC
11:10:19AM DISTRICT OF TWO AND THREE STORY BUILDINGS WHEN
11:10:23AM YOU'RE INTRODUCING A REQUIRED 97 PARKING SPACES.
11:10:28AM THAT'S ALREADY GOING TO BE A STORY, STORY AND A HALF BEFORE
11:10:33AM YOU EVEN BREAK GROUND.
11:10:37AM THAT BEING SAID, THE MECHANICAL ELEMENT OF THE SOLUTION
11:10:39AM BEING PRESENTED IN THE SETTLEMENT I THINK IS AN INNOVATIVE
11:10:42AM WAY TO ACCOMMODATE THE PARKING REQUIREMENT ON-SITE AND NOT
11:10:47AM PERHAPS UTILIZE VERY VALUABLE LAND IN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT
11:10:51AM FOR SURFACE PARKING THAT SUPPORTS A DISTANT PROJECT.
11:10:54AM I THINK THE MASSING SOLUTION IS WELL INTEGRATED.
11:10:59AM ONE THING THAT MS. GAINES DIDN'T POINT OUT, THERE WAS A
11:11:04AM LARGE MECHANICAL ADDITION ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE BUILDING
11:11:08AM THAT WAS ALSO FOUR STORIES THAT WAS ELIMINATED AS PART OF
11:11:12AM OUR DISCUSSION, SO THERE'S SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN THE MASS OF
11:11:15AM THE BUILDING BOTH VERTICALLY AND HORIZONTALLY.
11:11:18AM WITH THAT, THE BARRIO LATINO COMMISSION DID FEEL, AS DANA
11:11:24AM HAD MENTIONED, THAT THE PROJECT AS PRESENTED DOES MEET THE
11:11:28AM YBOR CITY DESIGN GUIDELINES AND THE SECRETARY OF THE
11:11:30AM INTERIOR STANDARDS AND DID FORWARD THEIR RECOMMENDATION TO
11:11:34AM YOU TO APPROVE THE SETTLEMENT.
11:11:38AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCIL QUESTIONS.
11:11:39AM COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
11:11:41AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WHAT IS THE HEIGHT RESTRICTION IN YBOR
11:11:42AM CITY?
11:11:43AM HOW MANY FLOORS CAN YOU HAVE OR WHAT IS THE FOOTAGE?
11:11:46AM >> YC 6, WHICH THIS PROPERTY ENJOYS IS 60 FEET.
11:11:51AM HOWEVER, THE APPROACH WAS BECAUSE IT ABUTS A 45-FOOT LIMIT
11:11:58AM TO TRY TO VISUALLY MAINTAIN, 45 FEET, THAT'S WHY WE STEPPED
11:12:03AM IT DOWN AND PUSHED THE MASSING BACK.
11:12:06AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
11:12:08AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
11:12:09AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. CHAIRMAN.
11:12:10AM I JUST WANT TO THANK THE DEVELOPER, THE ATTORNEY, MR.
11:12:14AM SHIMBERG AND THE INDIVIDUAL WHO HEARD THIS CASE, MR. STEADY
11:12:19AM AS THE MAGISTRATE FOR HEARING.
11:12:22AM I THINK COMPROMISE HAS BEEN A VERY GOOD ONE.
11:12:24AM CERTAINLY BENEFIT THE AREA AND IT WILL EASE UP ON ANY
11:12:29AM RESTRICTION THAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED IN THE PAST.
11:12:31AM THAT'S YESTERDAY'S NEWS.
11:12:32AM I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL PERSONALLY VERY MUCH.
11:12:35AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
11:12:39AM >>LYNN HURTAK: I'M GLAD WE'RE ABLE TO COME TO A COMPROMISE
11:12:41AM WITH THIS.
11:12:42AM BUT I AM STILL VERY CONCERNED THAT WE HAVE A HISTORIC
11:12:46AM DISTRICT.
11:12:47AM WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO FOLLOW HISTORIC STANDARDS, BUT WE'RE
11:12:50AM ALSO USING JUST TOO MUCH PARKING, TOO MANY PARKING SPACES,
11:12:58AM AND THIS IS GOING TO BE A PROBLEM GOING FORWARD.
11:13:01AM IF YOU WANT TO KEEP STUFF AT FOUR STORIES, YOU'RE NOT GOING
11:13:03AM TO HAVE ENOUGH PARKING.
11:13:05AM HOW EXPENSIVE ARE THESE UNITS GOING TO HAVE TO BE TO HAVE
11:13:09AM LIKE RAISED PARKING, SPECIAL RAISED PARKING, THEY ARE GOING
11:13:12AM TO BE INSANE.
11:13:13AM I JUST WANT TO SAY IT.
11:13:17AM I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT IT.
11:13:19AM I KNOW, LIKE I SAID, I THINK THIS IS GOING TO PASS, BUT MY
11:13:23AM CONCERN IS HOW DO WE CONTINUE TO KEEP THIS AREA -- IF YOU
11:13:27AM NEED THAT MUCH PARKING, IT'S NOT GOING TO BE AFFORDABLE.
11:13:30AM AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO REALLY
11:13:35AM GRAPPLE WITH AS A COUNCIL AS WE MOVE FORWARD ON THIS.
11:13:38AM I SUPPORTED THE PROJECT BEFORE.
11:13:40AM I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH IT NOW.
11:13:43AM I JUST -- I REALLY AM CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT IS GOING TO END
11:13:47AM UP BEING THE GENTRIFICATION OF THIS COMMUNITY BECAUSE OF
11:13:51AM THESE ANTIQUATED AND VERY EXPENSIVE REQUIREMENTS FOR
11:13:54AM PARKING.
11:13:55AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU, COUNCILWOMAN.
11:13:57AM ANYBODY IN THE PUBLIC THAT WISHES TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM.
11:13:59AM GOOD MORNING, POYNOR.
11:14:17AM START WITH YOUR NAME.
11:14:18AM YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES.
11:14:20AM >> EVERYBODY NEEDS THEIR COPIES FIRST.
11:14:22AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THAT'S NOT PART OF THE RULES.
11:14:24AM START WITH YOUR NAME.
11:14:28AM GO.
11:14:43AM >> STEPHANIE POYNOR.
11:14:44AM GOOD MORNING.
11:14:45AM LET'S SEE, I STARTED OUT WITH THE STAFF REPORT.
11:14:48AM IT SAYS, HERE'S WHAT I THINK.
11:14:50AM I REALLY HAVE NO OPINION ABOUT THIS PROJECT.
11:14:56AM WHAT I HAVE AN OPINION ABOUT IS DURING THE FLUEDRA, THE
11:15:01AM DISCUSSION WAS THAT BOTH FOR THE DIAGONAL PARKING AND THE
11:15:07AM PARKING LIFTS, THEY BOTH HAD TO HAVE A DE-1.
11:15:12AM PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOU ARE A TRANSPORTATION EXPERT UP
11:15:17AM THERE.
11:15:18AM ANYBODY.
11:15:19AM BUEHLER?
11:15:19AM OH, NOBODY IS A TRANSPORTATION EXPERT.
11:15:21AM I WENT THROUGH ACCELA, AND I HAVE ATTACHED ALL THREE
11:15:25AM PROPERTY ADDRESSES FOR ACCELA.
11:15:29AM I WENT THROUGH THE FILES.
11:15:31AM ERIC COTTON SAID THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO HAVE A DE-1 FOR
11:15:36AM BOTH OF THOSE.
11:15:36AM HOW CAN YOU APPROVE SOMETHING THAT THE DE-1s HAVEN'T BEEN
11:15:41AM FILED?
11:15:42AM SO IN ORDER TO APPROVE THIS, YOU REALLY HAVE TO REQUIRE THE
11:15:46AM MODIFICATION FOR THE DE-1, UNLESS I'M JUST TOTALLY OFF BASE,
11:15:50AM BUT THERE WAS A DISCUSSION ABOUT IT.
11:15:52AM IT WAS DISCUSSED BY STAFF, BY THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT, AND BY
11:15:56AM THE ATTORNEYS, AND HERE WE ARE.
11:15:59AM I CAN'T FIND A DE-1.
11:16:01AM MAYBE IT HAPPENED.
11:16:02AM SOMEBODY SHOW IT TO ME.
11:16:03AM BUT I CAN'T FIND IT.
11:16:05AM THE WHOLE POINT, AS I HIGHLIGHTED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE
11:16:09AM BARRIO -- THE STAFF REPORT, THIS WAS REALLY ABOUT PARKING.
11:16:13AM SO YOU'VE GOT THIS RIGHT HERE.
11:16:15AM HAS THIS BEEN APPROVED BY TRANSPORTATION?
11:16:17AM IS THIS SOMETHING KOSHER?
11:16:19AM I'VE NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE.
11:16:21AM I DON'T KNOW.
11:16:22AM THIS IS ONLY 24-FOOT WIDE.
11:16:23AM YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET YOUR BIG REDNECK TRUCKS IN THERE.
11:16:28AM NOT GOING TO GET YOUR FULL-SIZE SUVs.
11:16:31AM THIS IS 24-FOOT WIDE.
11:16:33AM THOSE ARE THE ONES WE SEE WITH THE BIG DOOR DINGS.
11:16:36AM REALLY?
11:16:37AM HONESTLY, I DON'T WANT TO STAND UP HERE AND COMPLAIN ABOUT
11:16:41AM IT, BUT WHAT I'M ASKING YOU IS HOW CAN YOU APPROVE THIS
11:16:45AM WITHOUT THOSE THINGS BEING DONE BECAUSE NOBODY UP THERE IS A
11:16:48AM TRANSPORTATION EXPERT.
11:16:49AM NOW, I COULD BE WRONG.
11:16:51AM I WOULD LOVE FOR SOMEBODY TO COME ON, STAFF AND SAY, YES, WE
11:16:55AM ALREADY DID THE DE-1s.
11:16:57AM MS. POYNOR IS TOO GOOF TOW FIND IT.
11:16:59AM THAT'S REALLY MY ISSUE.
11:17:01AM BECAUSE I AGREE WITH COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
11:17:03AM THIS IS AN AREA OF TOWN, E-BIKE PARKING IS PROBABLY JUST AS
11:17:07AM IMPORTANT IF NOT MORE IMPORTANT THAN HAVING 71 PARKING
11:17:11AM SPACES, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO ALSO POINT OUT, THE LIFTS, THEY
11:17:14AM SOUND LIKE A GOOD IDEA IN NEW YORK CITY WHERE PEOPLE DON'T
11:17:17AM DRIVE FOR WEEKS ON END.
11:17:19AM HERE IN TAMPA, PEOPLE COME AND GO ALL DAY LONG.
11:17:21AM SO I DON'T KNOW HOW ONE ATTENDANT IS GOING TO TAKE CARE OF
11:17:26AM ALL THESE PARKING SPOTS UNDERNEATH THIS BUILDING.
11:17:29AM BUT, HEY, THAT'S TOTALLY UP TO THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.
11:17:31AM THAT'S TOTALLY UP TO THEM.
11:17:33AM I DON'T CARE.
11:17:34AM WHAT I DO CARE IS ABOUT TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY
11:17:37AM WITHIN THIS DEPARTMENT.
11:17:39AM IF NO TRANSPORTATION EXPERT HAS LOOKED AT THIS, YOU CANNOT
11:17:42AM APPROVE IT.
11:17:43AM THANK YOU.
11:17:45AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: APPLICANT HAS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR REBUTTAL.
11:17:53AM >> DANA CROSBY COLLIER, LEGAL DEPARTMENT.
11:17:55AM WE HAVE JOHN MARSH FROM TRANSPORTATION HERE TO ADDRESS ANY
11:17:58AM TRANSPORTATION RELATED CONCERNS, AND WE HAVE ERIC COTTON
11:18:01AM HERE TO ADDRESS ANY --
11:18:03AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: DOES COUNCIL HAVE ANY CONCERNS THEY WOULD
11:18:05AM LIKE ADDRESSED?
11:18:06AM >>BILL CARLSON: ONE QUESTION.
11:18:07AM THE ORIGINAL COMPLAINANT OR AFFECTED PARTY WAS NICK CAPITANO
11:18:13AM COMPANY.
11:18:13AM ARE THEY NOT A PARTY OF THIS AT ALL?
11:18:17AM >> NICK CAPITANO INC. WAS REPRESENTED BY MARK BENTLEY, THE
11:18:20AM ATTORNEY.
11:18:21AM THEY FILED FOR THE REVIEW HEARING THAT CAME BEFORE YOU ABOUT
11:18:24AM A YEAR AGO.
11:18:25AM THEY DID NOT ATTEND THE BARRIO LATINO COMMISSION PUBLIC
11:18:30AM HEARING WHICH WAS PUBLICLY NOTICED, AND THEY ARE NOT PRESENT
11:18:33AM TODAY.
11:18:35AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: DOES COUNCIL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF
11:18:38AM CONCERNING TRANSPORTATION?
11:18:39AM HEARING NONE, JUST CONFIRM, ANYBODY ELSE FROM THE PUBLIC WHO
11:18:44AM WISHES TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM?
11:18:45AM SEEING NONE, APPLICANT, WOULD YOU LIKE A REBUTTAL?
11:18:49AM >> REAL QUICK.
11:18:50AM JIM SHIMBERG AGAIN.
11:18:52AM LAW GROUP.
11:18:54AM MARK BENTLEY'S CLIENTS DID PARTICIPATE IN BOTH MEDIATIONS.
11:18:58AM SECOND OF ALL, WE WORKED CLOSELY WITH YOUR STAFF AND ERIC
11:19:03AM AND JOHN ARE HERE TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE.
11:19:05AM WE FEEL COMFORTABLE.
11:19:07AM WE ACTUALLY AGREE WITH MS. HURTAK'S COMMENTS.
11:19:10AM IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE THE PARKING STANDARDS IN YBOR, WE
11:19:12AM THINK THAT WOULD MAKE MORE SENSE.
11:19:13AM WE WERE JUST TRYING TO COMPLY.
11:19:14AM AND THAT'S WHAT OUR CLIENT HAS BEEN TRYING TO DO FOR THREE
11:19:17AM YEARS NOW.
11:19:18AM THAT'S WHY WE ORIGINALLY WENT TO OFF-SITE PARKING.
11:19:20AM WHEN THAT DIDN'T WORK AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD DIDN'T LIKE THAT,
11:19:22AM WE TRIED TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO BRING IT ALL INSIDE.
11:19:24AM IT'S GOING TO BE A LITTLE MORE EXPENSIVE TO HAVE THE
11:19:26AM ATTENDANT THERE, BUT IT'S GOING TO WORK.
11:19:27AM THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.
11:19:29AM WE APPRECIATE IT.
11:19:31AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU.
11:19:32AM THAT'S THE END OF THE PRESENTATIONS.
11:19:34AM COUNCIL DISCUSSION.
11:19:36AM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
11:19:41AM >>LYNN HURTAK: I SAID IT BEFORE.
11:19:44AM AS MORE THINGS COME INTO THIS NEIGHBORHOOD, WE REALLY ARE
11:19:47AM GOING TO HAVE TO THINK ABOUT -- I MEAN, IT STILL UPSETS ME
11:19:51AM THAT WE CAN'T USE GARAGE SPACES FOR THINGS LIKE THIS AND
11:19:54AM HAVE PEOPLE WALK TO A GARAGE LIKE THEY DO IN EVERY OTHER
11:19:57AM CITY IN THE COUNTRY.
11:19:58AM WE'VE GOT TO START THINKING OF OURSELVES AS A CITY THAT CAN
11:20:01AM DO THIS, THAT CAN WALK.
11:20:03AM SO, YEAH, I'M JUST UPSET THAT THESE ARE GOING TO BE SO
11:20:08AM EXPENSIVE DUE TO THE SPECIAL PARKING.
11:20:10AM I THINK IN THIS COMMUNITY, WE REALLY HAVE TO SOLVE THIS
11:20:14AM PROBLEM.
11:20:14AM I'M GLAD WE'RE ABLE TO SOLVE IT IN THIS CASE, BUT WHAT IT'S
11:20:18AM GOING TO DO IS IT'S GOING TO STOP SMALL DEVELOPERS FROM
11:20:21AM BEING ABLE TO COME IN AND DO INFILL PROJECTS.
11:20:24AM IT WILL LEAVE IT TO BIG DEVELOPERS.
11:20:26AM I DON'T THINK THAT'S FAIR IN THIS TYPE OF COMMUNITY.
11:20:28AM AGAIN, I SUPPORTED THIS PROJECT BEFORE.
11:20:31AM I'M SUPPORTING THIS JUST TO GET IT THROUGH, BUT I'M
11:20:34AM DISAPPOINTED WE HAD TO DO THIS.
11:20:36AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCILMAN CARLSON AND COUNCILMAN
11:20:37AM MANISCALCO.
11:20:40AM >>BILL CARLSON: BECAUSE OF ALL -- I'M ALLOWED TO TALK ABOUT
11:20:46AM PARKING BECAUSE IT'S LEGISLATIVE, RIGHT?
11:20:48AM BECAUSE OF ALL THE NEW DEVELOPMENT IN YBOR, THE PARKING
11:20:51AM GARAGES ARE FULL ALL THE TIME.
11:20:53AM I HAD A CONVERSATION WITH FED.
11:20:57AM MAYBE WE CAN HAVE IT ON A WORKSHOP AT SOME POINT.
11:20:59AM WE NEED MORE PARKING GARAGES IN YBOR CITY.
11:21:02AM DESPITE THE FACT THAT WE WANT EVERYBODY TO RIDE UBER OR
11:21:06AM WHATEVER, PEOPLE AREN'T AND THERE'S STILL A PARKING PROBLEM.
11:21:09AM WE HAVE THE FERNANDO NORIEGA GARAGE, THE NORTHERN BUILDING
11:21:15AM IS MOSTLY OWNED BY HCC.
11:21:17AM I WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT DOING A DEAL WITH THEM SO WE CAN
11:21:20AM TAKE OVER THE WHOLE THING.
11:21:21AM BUT ON THE EASTERN SIDE, WE NEED A PARKING GARAGE.
11:21:25AM THE CENTRO YBOR PARKING IS ALWAYS FULL, TOO.
11:21:31AM IF WE PROVIDE PARKING, WE COULD PROBABLY MAKE A PROFIT ON
11:21:34AM IT, PLUS IT WOULD HELP OUT THE SMALL DEVELOPERS.
11:21:37AM THANK YOU.
11:21:37AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
11:21:38AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
11:21:39AM WHEN THE TIME COMES, I'M GOING TO VOTE TO SUPPORT AND
11:21:43AM APPROVE THIS SPECIAL MAGISTRATE RECOMMENDATION.
11:21:46AM BUT IF YOU LOOK AT YBOR CITY, IT'S A UNIQUE PLACE.
11:21:50AM IT IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF LIVE, WORK, PLAY HISTORICALLY
11:21:55AM BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE STREETCAR ON 7th AVENUE.
11:21:59AM STREETCAR NOT ON 7th BUT IT'S THERE IN ONE CAPACITY.
11:22:02AM PEOPLE LIVED UPSTAIRS, THEY WORKED DOWN STAIRS.
11:22:06AM THEY WORKED AT A CIGAR FACTORY.
11:22:07AM THEY WALKED TO THEIR CASITA.
11:22:09AM THEY HAD HEALTH CARE AT THE MUTUAL AID SOCIETIES.
11:22:13AM PERFECT EXAMPLE HISTORICALLY OF WHAT A GREAT CITY OR VILLAGE
11:22:16AM SHOULD BE.
11:22:17AM UNFORTUNATELY, POST WORLD WAR II, YOU HAVE THE INTERSTATE
11:22:21AM AND YOU HAVE THE PULLING UP OF THE STREETCAR AND THE
11:22:24AM AUTOMOBILE COMPANIES AND TIRE MANUFACTURERS PUSHING
11:22:28AM AUTOMOBILE OWNERSHIP.
11:22:30AM THAT MINDSET, THAT PSYCHOLOGY HAS BEEN THERE SINCE THE LATE
11:22:32AM 1940s.
11:22:33AM NOW WE'RE COMING BACK FULL CIRCLE.
11:22:35AM WHAT'S BEEN TALKED ABOUT REGARDING PARKING.
11:22:37AM IT SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BE.
11:22:39AM PARKING MINIMUMS AND ALL THESE PARKING REQUIREMENTS BECAUSE
11:22:42AM LESS THAN A CENTURY AGO, PEOPLE DIDN'T -- THEY DID NOT NEED
11:22:46AM CARS.
11:22:46AM WE HAD PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION OR THEY DIDN'T NEED TO LEAVE
11:22:48AM THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
11:22:49AM NOW WE ARE SO SPREAD OUT, THAT IT'S DIFFERENT.
11:22:51AM BUT YBOR CITY FELL VICTIM TO URBAN RENEWAL IN A VERY
11:22:57AM DRAMATIC AND AGGRESSIVE WAY.
11:22:59AM IF YOU STUDY URBAN RENEWAL THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY, IT WAS
11:23:03AM ESPECIALLY AGGRESSIVE HERE IN TAMPA.
11:23:05AM AND I WAS PULLING UP ON GOOGLE MAPS WHAT THIS PROPERTY LOOKS
11:23:09AM LIKE.
11:23:10AM MUCH OF IT IS A VACANT LOT.
11:23:12AM THERE ARE SOME HISTORIC STRUCTURES THAT ARE GOING TO BE
11:23:14AM PRESERVED, BUT A LOT OF DAMAGE WAS DONE TO YBOR.
11:23:17AM NOT JUST THE INTERSTATE, BUT IN TALKING TO FOLKS THAT HAVE
11:23:20AM NOW ALL PASSED AWAY, I ASK THEM, I GO, AFTER THE WAR, AFTER
11:23:25AM WORLD WAR II, ONE GUY TOLD ME, HIS FATHER SAID, WHY DO YOU
11:23:30AM WANT TO COME BACK TO AN OLD HOUSE?
11:23:32AM HE RENTED AN APARTMENT ON DAVIS ISLANDS.
11:23:34AM ENDED UP LIVING IN LUTZ.
11:23:36AM A LOT OF PEOPLE WENT TO BRANDON, CARROLLWOOD, ON AND ON.
11:23:38AM CAME BACK 40, 50 YEARS LATER, WHAT HAPPENED TO THE
11:23:41AM NEIGHBORHOOD?
11:23:41AM WELL, NOT JUST THE INTERSTATE, BUT PEOPLE STARTED LEAVING.
11:23:45AM TAMPA STARTED GROWING.
11:23:46AM THINGS STARTED HAPPENING.
11:23:48AM GETTING BACK TO THE POINT, I'M GLAD TO SEE A DEVELOPMENT
11:23:51AM LIKE THIS GOING ONTO THE PROPERTY.
11:23:53AM I'M GLAD THAT IT WAS MEDIATED AND WORKED OUGHT AND DON'T
11:23:56AM HAVE A ROOM FULL OF PEOPLE IN OPPOSITION.
11:23:58AM I THINK THAT SAYS A LOT.
11:23:59AM NO MATTER WHAT TIME OF DAY, PEOPLE WILL BE FILLING UP.
11:24:02AM THEY ARE AGAINST SOMETHING AND I KNOW THE VERY PASSIONATE
11:24:05AM PEOPLE OF YBOR CITY, THEY WOULD BE HERE.
11:24:07AM I'M GOING TO SUPPORT THIS.
11:24:08AM AGAIN, IN TALKING ABOUT PARKING, PARKING IS EXPENSIVE AND
11:24:12AM NOT EVERYBODY WANTS A CAR.
11:24:13AM WE TALK ABOUT E-BIKES.
11:24:14AM WE TALK ABOUT THE STREETCAR.
11:24:16AM WE TALK ABOUT RIDING A REGULAR BIKE OR WALKING.
11:24:18AM THERE ARE SO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS THAT WE NEED TO LOOK AT
11:24:21AM BECAUSE IT'S EXPENSIVE TO OWN A CAR AND EXPENSIVE TO PARK
11:24:24AM THAT CAR.
11:24:24AM AGAIN, IF WE'RE GOING TO BE AFFORDABLE, ATTAINABLE, WANT TO
11:24:27AM BE WELCOMING TO NEW, YOUNGER GENERATIONS, PEOPLE OUT OF
11:24:30AM COLLEGE WITH THEIR FIRST JOB LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO LIVE, WE
11:24:33AM REALLY HAVE TO HAVE A SERIOUS PARKING DISCUSSION.
11:24:36AM THANKS.
11:24:36AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
11:24:38AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.
11:24:39AM ALONG THE SAME CONVERSATION WITH COUNCIL MEMBER CARLSON AND
11:24:42AM MANISCALCO, YBOR CITY -- BECAUSE OF DIFFERENT THINGS.
11:24:48AM ONE WAS THE EXPRESSWAY.
11:24:50AM WANT TO BLAME IT ON THAT.
11:24:51AM NO.
11:24:52AM PART OF IT, YES.
11:24:53AM WHAT HAPPENED, WHEN THE PEOPLE THAT WORK IN THE CIGAR
11:24:55AM FACTORY, PEOPLE WORKING AT REYNOLDS CAN, ALUMINUM CAN,
11:24:59AM AMERICAN COMPANY, AMERICAN CAN COMPANY AND THOSE, THE
11:25:04AM PEOPLE, KIDS THAT WANT TO FOLLOW IN THAT TRADE.
11:25:07AM AND THE DEMISE OF THE CIGAR FACTORY ALONG WITH THE DEMISE OF
11:25:10AM HOUSING THAT THEY WERE GUILT OUT OF WOOD MOST OF THEM,
11:25:15AM EXCEPT THE HOUSING PROJECTS, MAINLY, DETERIORATED BECAUSE OF
11:25:20AM TERMITES AND HOUSES WERE IN BAD SHAPE.
11:25:22AM DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO FIX THEM.
11:25:24AM DECAY, ON AND ON AND ON.
11:25:27AM FOR YEARS, IT WAS A GHOST TOWN.
11:25:29AM AGAIN, MENTION GRECO'S NAME.
11:25:31AM CONVERSATION, COUNCILMAN CARLSON ABOUT BUILDING A GARAGE ON
11:25:34AM THE EAST SIDE WITH FERNANDO NORIEGA AND THE MAYOR BECAUSE I
11:25:37AM LISTENED TO IT AND IT NEVER GOT DONE BECAUSE IT GOT AN
11:25:41AM OFFICE.
11:25:41AM BUT THERE'S GOING TO BE A NEED SOONER THAN LATER TO BUILD
11:25:44AM ANOTHER GARAGE.
11:25:46AM WHO IS GOING TO FUND IT IS ANOTHER QUESTION.
11:25:49AM BUT YBOR CITY DEMISE WITHIN ITSELF.
11:25:52AM LITTLE GROCERY STORES.
11:25:55AM HAD A GROCERY STORE YOU COULD GO IN, DIDN'T HAVE THE MONEY,
11:25:58AM SIGNED THE RECEIPT.
11:25:59AM END OF THE WEEK, WHEN THE PARENTS GOT PAID, YOU PAID IT OFF.
11:26:02AM THAT'S HOW IT WAS.
11:26:03AM THINGS HAVE CHANGED.
11:26:04AM NO CREDIT CARDS TO SPEAK OF.
11:26:06AM YOU HAD A HOUSE ACCOUNT AND WHATEVER STORE YOU WENT TO,
11:26:09AM WHATEVER GROCERY STORE YOU WENT TO.
11:26:11AM EVERYTHING HAS CHANGED.
11:26:12AM I CAN'T FIGURE HUNDRED PERCENT WHY THEY LEFT, BUT THEY LEFT
11:26:18AM MAINLY BECAUSE THE SECOND GENERATION FROM YBOR CITY.
11:26:21AM MY GENERATION WAS BORN IN THE '40s AND EARLY '50s WENT
11:26:27AM TO SCHOOL.
11:26:28AM PARENTS OF THE ONES THAT WENT TO SCHOOL NEVER FINISHED
11:26:30AM GRAMMAR SCHOOL.
11:26:31AM SO THERE IS A DIFFERENCE THERE BETWEEN GRAMMAR SCHOOL AND
11:26:34AM EVEN HIGH SCHOOL.
11:26:35AM A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA AT THAT TIME WAS SOMETHING OF SUCCESS.
11:26:41AM TODAY HIGH SCHOOL IS PART OF A SYSTEM THAT YOU GOT TO GO
11:26:45AM HIGHER IN EDUCATION AND DO THAT TO BE COMPETITIVE IN THE
11:26:48AM FIELD.
11:26:48AM SO EVERYTHING IS CHANGED BETWEEN YBOR CITY OF YESTERDAY AND
11:26:51AM THE YBOR CITY OF TODAY, LIVING IN TOMORROW IS GREAT, BUT THE
11:26:55AM CONSTRUCTION AREA HAS CHANGED.
11:26:57AM YOU'RE NEVER GOING TO HAVE WHAT YBOR CITY HAD BEFORE.
11:27:00AM YOU HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT WANT TO LIVE THERE AND NOT
11:27:02AM ENOUGH LAND TO SUPPORT.
11:27:04AM YOU'RE RIGHT ABOUT A GARAGE ON EAST SIDE AND THAT WAS
11:27:07AM DECIDED NOT TO BUILD IT AT THE END OF THE TERM BECAUSE THERE
11:27:10AM WAS NO MONEY.
11:27:11AM IT'S STILL THERE AND STILL AVAILABLE.
11:27:13AM I GUESS, I DON'T KNOW.
11:27:14AM IN AMERICA, YOU CAN FACE A LOT OF THINGS WITH A LOT OF
11:27:17AM MONEY.
11:27:19AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU.
11:27:20AM I AGREE WITH COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO ABOUT THE DEMISE OF YBOR
11:27:26AM WITH PEOPLE LEAVING.
11:27:27AM THE SALVATION OF YBOR CITY AND THE PRESERVATION OF WHAT WAS
11:27:31AM LEFT IS GOING TO BE PEOPLE COMING BACK, AND THAT IS GOING TO
11:27:34AM BE DENSITY OF DEVELOPMENT AND RESIDENTIAL UNITS.
11:27:38AM NOT TO DIGRESS INTO THE FIRST SCOPE OF THIS PROJECT, I AGREE
11:27:45AM 100% WITH COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK THAT THE ULTIMATE PLAN HERE
11:27:51AM AND AS WE MOVE FORWARD IS NOT TO LOOK BACKWARD TO THE
11:27:56AM PARADIGMS OF THE PAST.
11:27:57AM IT'S HOW PEOPLE WILL LIVE TODAY INTO THE FUTURE.
11:28:00AM WHEN I LOOK AT THE PROJECTS, I LOOK TO PEOPLE COMING TO THE
11:28:03AM TABLE WITH TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS AND PUTTING THEIR OWN
11:28:06AM WEALTH AT RISK FOR A PROJECT.
11:28:08AM AND I FEEL THAT THEIR FEEL OF THE MARKET AND THE RISK THAT
11:28:12AM THEY ARE TAKING, THE MARKET IS GOING TO PREVAIL WHAT THAT
11:28:15AM DEMAND IS.
11:28:16AM I DETECT THAT THERE IS A THIRST FOR GENERATIONS THAT ARE
11:28:19AM YOUNGER THAN ME TO LIVE IN A CAR, MORE OF A CAR-FREE,
11:28:23AM INDEPENDENT ENVIRONMENT WITH E-BIKES AND OTHER MODES OF
11:28:26AM TRANSPORTATION AS WE HOPEFULLY BUILD OUT TRANSPORTATION IN
11:28:29AM THE CITY OF TAMPA, THEY WILL BE DEPENDENT ON THE
11:28:32AM TRANSPORTATION.
11:28:32AM RIGHT NOW, WE'RE GETTING CLOSE TO HAVING A STREETCAR SYSTEM
11:28:37AM WITH TWO-THIRDS MORE RAIL.
11:28:38AM AND THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN YBOR CITY CAN UTILIZE THAT AND
11:28:45AM TRANSPORTED THROUGH THE ENTIRE URBAN CORE OF THE CITY OF
11:28:47AM TAMPA AND ACCENTUATE THAT WITH RUBBER WHEEL BUS OPTIONS AND
11:28:52AM PEOPLE WILL NOT REQUIRE THE PARKING.
11:28:53AM I WAS ONE OF THE FIRST ONES ON THE HEARING, VOTED IN FAVOR.
11:28:56AM I THINK IT WAS A GOOD PROJECT.
11:28:58AM I APPRECIATED THE DENSITY.
11:28:59AM I APPRECIATED THE NUMBER HAD OF UNITS, THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE
11:29:01AM THAT CAN LIVE IN THE AREA.
11:29:03AM ONCE AGAIN, PEOPLE LISTENING, THIS IS THE FUTURE OF YBOR
11:29:06AM CITY.
11:29:06AM I JUST HAD A CONVERSATION WITH FED THIS WEEK ON THE EAST
11:29:10AM SIDE AND LOOKING FOR PROPERTY AND ASKING HIM TO TALK TO THE
11:29:13AM LAND PEOPLE TO TRY TO START LOOKING FOR PROPERTY TO BUILD A
11:29:16AM GARAGE ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF 7th ON THE EAST SIDE OF YBOR
11:29:19AM CITY.
11:29:20AM BUT THAT BEING SAID, WHAT'S BEFORE US TODAY IS THE
11:29:22AM COMPROMISE.
11:29:22AM IF I COULD GO BACK, I THINK THIS IS GOING TO BE ONE OF THOSE
11:29:25AM THINGS THAT COUNCIL WOULD REGRET OUR FIRST VOTE THAT IT
11:29:29AM WOULD HAVE BEEN A BETTER PROJECT, BETTER FOR YBOR CITY,
11:29:31AM BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT, EVENTUALLY, THEY MIGHT NOT HAVE
11:29:34AM NEEDED THAT SURFACE PARKING LOT.
11:29:36AM THEY COULD HAVE MAYBE DEALT WITH WHAT THEY HAD BELOW THEM
11:29:39AM AND BE A REAL CITY AND OPERATE LIKE A REAL CITY.
11:29:41AM I'M SORRY WE CAN'T GO BACK.
11:29:43AM BUT WHAT'S BEFORE US TODAY IS THIS COMPROMISE PROPOSAL.
11:29:48AM CAN WE GET A MOTION TO CLOSE?
11:29:50AM WE HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE FROM COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
11:29:52AM A SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN VIERA.
11:29:53AM ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

11:30:03AM THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE'S RECOMMENDATION THAT WE ACCEPT THE
11:30:06AM RECOMMENDATION AND THEN PROCEED TO IMPLEMENT THE
11:30:10AM RECOMMENDATION.
11:30:12AM SO THAT'S MY MOTION FOR NOW AND THEN I HAVE A SECOND ONE,
11:30:15AM AUTHORIZING FOR THE CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS.
11:30:20AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN

11:30:26AM THAT INDEPENDENTLY.
11:30:28AM MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO TO APPROVE THE SETTLEMENT
11:30:30AM AGREEMENT.
11:30:30AM A SECOND FROM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
11:30:32AM DO WE NEED A ROLL CALL VOTE ON THIS?
11:30:34AM ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
11:30:40AM OPPOSED?
11:30:41AM AYES HAVE IT UNANIMOUSLY.
11:30:45AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: SECOND MOTION AUTHORIZING THE BLC

11:30:58AM AYES HAVE IT UNANIMOUSLY.
11:31:00AM VERY GOOD.
11:31:04AM THANK YOU.
11:31:05AM COUNCILMAN VIERA.
11:31:09AM >>LUIS VIERA: FOR ITEM 34, WHICH IS SULPHUR SPRINGS --
11:31:20AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: IF EVERYBODY COULD TAKE THEIR CONVERSATION
11:31:21AM OUTSIDE BECAUSE THE MEETING IS STILL GOING.
11:31:27AM >>LUIS VIERA: I DON'T KNOW IF WE HAVE ANYONE HERE FOR ITEM
11:31:30AM 34, SULPHUR SPRINGS.
11:31:31AM I GOT A REQUEST FROM THE ADMINISTRATION, WHICH I'M AMENABLE
11:31:34AM TO, TO MOVE IT TO THE SECOND BUDGET HEARING FOR A NUMBER OF
11:31:38AM REASONS.
11:31:38AM NUMBER ONE, BECAUSE THERE IS ADDITIONAL MONEY THAT WE TALKED
11:31:41AM ABOUT YESTERDAY POTENTIALLY FOR SULPHUR SPRINGS.
11:31:43AM NUMBER TWO, IT'S MR. ROGERO'S BIRTHDAY TODAY, SO HE WOULD
11:31:47AM HAVE TO BE HERE FOR THIS.
11:31:49AM AS A COURTESY TO A FINE GENTLEMAN, I'M GLAD TO DO THAT TO
11:31:52AM MAKE THAT MOTION.
11:31:53AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN VIERA.
11:31:55AM SECOND FROM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK TO MOVE ITEM 34 TO SEPTEMBER
11:31:58AM 16.
11:31:59AM ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
11:32:01AM OPPOSED.
11:32:02AM AYES HAVE IT UNANIMOUSLY.
11:32:03AM WE ARE GOING TO MOVE ON TO ABBYE FEELEY, ITEM 37.
11:32:08AM WHERE DID FED GO.
11:32:15AM HE WILL BE NEXT.
11:32:16AM >>ABBYE FEELEY: ABBYE FEELEY, ADMINISTRATOR FOR DEVELOPMENT
11:32:19AM AND ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY.
11:32:20AM I FEEL LIKE WE WERE JUST HERE TOGETHER A FEW HOURS AGO.
11:32:23AM THIS MORNING, I WANTED TO PROVIDE YOU WITH A MONTHLY UPDATE
11:32:26AM ON THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.
11:32:29AM IN JULY, OUR CONSULTANT DELIVERED WHAT'S CALLED PHASE 1A.
11:32:34AM UNDER THE AGREEMENT, IT IS A LARGE DELIVERABLE, ABOUT 280
11:32:38AM PAGES.
11:32:38AM AND THAT COVERS ZONING DISTRICTS, UPDATED RESIDENTIAL
11:32:42AM BUSINESS, THE INTRODUCTION OF MIXED USE DISTRICTS, USE
11:32:46AM REGULATIONS AND KEY DEFINITIONS.
11:32:48AM KEEP IN MIND THAT OUR CODE MODERNIZATION IS NOT A CODE
11:32:53AM REWRITE.
11:32:54AM IT'S A COUPLE OF THINGS.
11:32:55AM IT'S AN UPDATE.
11:32:56AM IT IS A MODERNIZATION.
11:32:58AM YOU ALL KNOW IT HAS NOT BEEN UPDATED COMPREHENSIVELY SINCE
11:33:01AM THE LATE '80s.
11:33:03AM SO DEFINITIONS LIKE DOGGY DAY CARE.
11:33:06AM WE DON'T EVEN HAVE IN THE CODE.
11:33:08AM IT WASN'T A THING IN THE '80s.
11:33:10AM SOME OF THIS IS JUST PURE MODERNIZATION.
11:33:12AM SOME OF IT IS MAKING IT INTO MORE READABLE DOCUMENT.
11:33:15AM WHAT'S OUTLINED IN THE WORK PLAN AND THE AGREEMENT WITH
11:33:19AM CLARION IS THAT WE GET A STAFF VERSION.
11:33:23AM WE WORK THROUGH THAT.
11:33:24AM THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING.
11:33:25AM IN FACT, OUR TEAM THAT'S DOING THE INTERNAL REVIEW RIGHT
11:33:30AM NOW, MOBILITY, PLANNING, LEGAL, ZONING, WE HAVE BEEN HAVING
11:33:35AM -- WE STARTED OUT WITH HOUR SESSIONS.
11:33:38AM WE ARE NOW AT TWO-HOUR SESSIONS.
11:33:40AM WE GO LINE BY LINE.
11:33:41AM WE LOOK AT HOW IT RELATES TO CURRENT PROCESSES LIKE THE
11:33:44AM DEs MENTIONED THIS MORNING, ZONINGS, HOW WE'RE ACTUALLY
11:33:47AM DOING THINGS.
11:33:48AM LISTS THAT HAVE COME FROM DEPARTMENTS OVER THE YEARS OF
11:33:51AM THINGS THAT NEED TO GET CHANGED OR UPDATED.
11:33:54AM WE SPENT TIME ON THE SPECIAL STREET SETBACK TABLE THE OTHER
11:33:57AM WEEK AND JUST GETTING ALL OF THAT INPUT.
11:34:00AM AND THEN WE WORK WITH THEM TO REFINE THE DOCUMENT.
11:34:05AM I WANT TO STAY ON -- I HAVE A LOT TO SAY BUT I WANT TO STAY
11:34:09AM ON TASK.
11:34:10AM I KNOW, AND I AM VERY MUCH AWARE THAT THERE'S INTEREST IN
11:34:15AM RELEASING DRAFTS IMMEDIATELY, BUT THAT ACTUALLY COMPROMISES
11:34:18AM PART OF THE PROCESS AND WE'RE TRYING NOT TO DO THAT.
11:34:23AM WHILE I HAVE NOT BEEN AT THE FOREFRONT IN THE COMP PLAN
11:34:26AM HEARINGS THAT YOU'VE BEEN HAVING, I'VE BEEN WORKING CLOSELY
11:34:28AM WE HAVEN AND MELISSA IN -- EVAN AND MELISSA, TRACKING THAT,
11:34:33AM MAKING SURE IT SYNTHESIZES WITH THE CODE AS WELL AS
11:34:35AM SYNTHESIZING WITH SENATE BILL 180.
11:34:38AM I APPRECIATE EVERYONE'S PATIENCE IN THAT.
11:34:40AM OUR AGREEMENT IS STRUCTURED IN A WAY SO THAT THE PUBLIC SEES
11:34:43AM A DRAFT THAT IS ACCURATE, THAT'S CONSISTENT, AND THAT IS
11:34:47AM MEANINGFUL.
11:34:48AM THEY DON'T SEE THE RAW WORKING DOCUMENT.
11:34:51AM WE'VE HAD SEVEN OF THESE SESSIONS THAT I JUST MENTIONED AND
11:34:55AM TALKED TO YOU ABOUT WHO HAS BEEN THERE.
11:34:58AM WE HAVE A FEW MORE SCHEDULED.
11:35:01AM PHASE 1B OR PHASE 2 IS SET FOR DELIVERY IN LATER SEPTEMBER,
11:35:06AM AND THAT INCLUDES SEMINOLE HEIGHTS, WHICH IS OUR ONE FORM
11:35:09AM BASED CODE SECTION AND YBOR CITY.
11:35:11AM SO THAT HAS NOT COME IN YET.
11:35:13AM AS I JUST MENTIONED, I HAVE BEEN ABREAST OF WHAT'S GOING ON
11:35:19AM WITH THE COMP PLAN.
11:35:21AM LAST WEEK, COUNCIL MADE THE DECISION NOT TO TRANSMIT TO THE
11:35:25AM STATE AND TO MOVE THAT TO FEBRUARY.
11:35:27AM LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE IS THE IMPLEMENTATION MECHANISM OF THE
11:35:31AM COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
11:35:32AM THE STATUTE REQUIRES WE HAVE LDRs THAT SUPPORT WHAT'S IN
11:35:36AM THERE.
11:35:36AM SO PART OF WHAT IS CURRENTLY UNDETERMINED IN THE COMP PLAN
11:35:40AM AS TO THE TRCs, THESE OTHER AREAS, I DON'T WANT CLARION
11:35:45AM SPENDING TIME WRITING CODE OR ADJUSTING CODE FOR WHAT HASN'T
11:35:49AM YET BEEN ADOPTED.
11:35:50AM I'M TRYING TO BE VERY MINDFUL OF HOW WE ARE TRACKING ALL OF
11:35:53AM THESE PIECES TOGETHER.
11:35:55AM SO THAT BEING SAID, AND AS WELL, SENATE BILL 180, WHICH
11:36:01AM WE'LL TALK ABOUT IN A FEW WEEKS AT THE WORKSHOP.
11:36:04AM WE'VE ALSO BEEN MINDFUL, I'VE BEEN MINDFUL NOT TO OVERWHELM
11:36:08AM THE PUBLIC.
11:36:08AM I KNOW ALL OF THE COMMUNITY MEETINGS THAT TOOK PLACE, THE
11:36:12AM WORK THAT CARROLL ANN AND STEPHANIE HAVE BEEN DOING MEETING
11:36:15AM WITH NEIGHBORHOODS.
11:36:16AM THE WORK YOU'VE BEEN DOING MEETING WITH NEIGHBORHOODS.
11:36:18AM WHEN I HAD LUNCH WITH STEPHANIE, I MENTIONED I DIDN'T WANT
11:36:21AM TO THEN THROW THE CODE OUT THERE, TOO, YET TO ENSURE THAT WE
11:36:24AM ARE BEING MINDFUL OF THEIR INVOLVEMENT AND THE TIME THAT'S
11:36:29AM BEING SPENT IN ALL OF THESE DIFFERENT CATEGORIES.
11:36:31AM AS WE'RE RUNNING THESE THINGS TOGETHER.
11:36:34AM THE COMP PLAN HAS A MORE STATUTORY DEADLINE AND OBLIGATED
11:36:45AM UNDER STATE LAWS TO HAVE THE UPDATE DONE AND APPROVED BY THE
11:36:47AM STATE.
11:36:47AM OUR CODE UPDATE EFFORTS, NOT AS STRINGENT OF A TIME FRAME,
11:36:52AM BUT WE ARE UNDER CONTRACT.
11:36:54AM I HEARD THAT MENTIONED THIS MORNING ALSO.
11:36:56AM I DID CHECK WHERE WE ARE ON OUR CONTRACT.
11:36:58AM I'M INCREDIBLY MINDFUL OF OUR BUDGET.
11:37:02AM I DON'T WANT TO COME BACK TO COUNCIL TO ASK FOR MORE MONEY.
11:37:04AM STILL AT LESS THAN HALF OF THE CONTRACTED AMOUNT.
11:37:07AM SO WE HAVE NOT SPENT EXORBITANT.
11:37:10AM I'VE BEEN WORKING VERY CLOSELY WITH CLARION.
11:37:12AM I DO MEET WITH THEM EVERY OTHER WEEK TO GO OVER THINGS.
11:37:16AM BUT I AM MINDFUL OF THE MONEY THAT'S BEEN DEDICATED TO THIS
11:37:18AM PROJECT AND ENSURING THAT I AM ON TARGET IN MEETING THAT
11:37:21AM GOAL AND YOUR EXPECTATION OF US.
11:37:25AM I'M WORKING WITH THEM RIGHT NOW BASED ON ALL THESE KIND OF
11:37:31AM MOVING PARTS TO GET AN UPDATED SCHEDULE, A REALISTIC
11:37:33AM SCHEDULE FOR US TO ALL UNDERSTAND COMP PLAN FEBRUARY, WHERE
11:37:37AM ARE WE, WHAT PARTS CAN WE KEEP MOVING ALONG WITH, AND TO
11:37:40AM HAVE THAT SCHEDULE UPDATED AND AVAILABLE AT MY NEXT MONTHLY
11:37:45AM UPDATE IS MY GOAL.
11:37:47AM AS I TALKED LAST TIME I CAME BEFORE, I DIDN'T COME LAST
11:37:52AM MONTH, ONE THING I ALSO WANTED TO MENTION, THESE MONTHLY
11:37:55AM UPDATES, THIS IS PART OF MY COMMITMENT TO THE PROCESS.
11:37:57AM THIS WASN'T PART OF THE CONTRACT.
11:37:59AM WE DIDN'T HAVE TO DO THIS.
11:38:01AM THIS IS ME SAYING TO YOU I'M GOING TO BE -- OF THE PROCESS.
11:38:06AM SHARE WITH YOU WHAT I KNOW.
11:38:08AM IN ADDITION, THE TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE SET UP WAS
11:38:11AM ALSO NOT A RECOMMENDATION OF THE CONSULTANT.
11:38:12AM IT WAS MY RECOMMENDATION THAT WE HAVE THAT GROUP MADE UP OF
11:38:17AM VERY DIVERSE PEOPLE SO THAT WE AGAIN HAVE ANOTHER INPUT
11:38:22AM POINT FOR THE PROCESS THAT IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN
11:38:26AM HOW THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE WAS RUN.
11:38:28AM SO THE DRAFTING STAGE I MENTIONED IS THE LONGEST.
11:38:31AM IT IS THE MOST DETAILED.
11:38:34AM WHILE THINGS MAY SEEM QUIET, THERE IS WORK GETTING DONE, AND
11:38:38AM WE ARE REFINING WORK AND WE ARE COMMITTED AND REMAIN
11:38:44AM COMMITTED TO TRANSPARENT AND VERY STRONG PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT
11:38:47AM PROCESS EVERY STEP OF THE WAY.
11:38:48AM THAT'S MY UPDATE FOR TODAY.
11:38:52AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK, THIS WAS YOUR MOTION.
11:38:53AM WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEAK FIRST?
11:38:55AM >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU.
11:38:56AM THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATE.
11:38:59AM IT'S NICE TO HEAR HOW FAR IT'S GOING FORWARD.
11:39:02AM WHEN CAN THE PUBLIC EXPECT TO SEE ANYTHING?
11:39:07AM WHEN DO YOU EXPECT THE NEXT PUBLIC MEETING?
11:39:10AM WHAT IS THE GOING TO BE THE FORMAT?
11:39:14AM >>ABBYE FEELEY: I ACTUALLY HAVE MY MEETING WITH CLARION NEXT
11:39:16AM WEDNESDAY.
11:39:17AM IT WAS TENTATIVELY SCHEDULED TO BE END OF SEPTEMBER AND I
11:39:22AM WANT TO HAVE THAT REVISED SCHEDULE DONE.
11:39:27AM I'M HOPING OCTOBER OR NOVEMBER.
11:39:29AM >>LYNN HURTAK: OKAY.
11:39:30AM DO YOU THINK THAT'S SOMETHING YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO UPDATE US
11:39:32AM ON WHEN WE GET TOGETHER FOR THAT WORKSHOP?
11:39:36AM >>ABBYE FEELEY: ABSOLUTELY.
11:39:39AM >>LYNN HURTAK: AGAIN, AND THAT WOULD BE A PUBLIC MEETING
11:39:42AM HAPPENING IDEALLY IN OCTOBER TO GIVE PEOPLE AN IDEA OF WHERE
11:39:46AM WE ARE.
11:39:47AM EVEN IF IT IS NOTHING BUT THE DEFINITIONS, THE BASIC STUFF,
11:39:51AM I THINK PEOPLE JUST REALLY WANT TO SEE SOMETHING.
11:39:54AM >>ABBYE FEELEY: ABSOLUTELY.
11:39:55AM >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU.
11:39:56AM APPRECIATE THAT.
11:39:56AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
11:39:57AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
11:39:59AM I TOURED SOME ALLEYWAYS IN WEST TAMPA REGARDING HAVING TO
11:40:08AM BUILD WITH ACCESS IN THE BACK AND SOME BUILDERS HAVE
11:40:12AM CONCERNS AND COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE ALLEYS THAT ARE UNKEPT
11:40:17AM AND TOO NARROW AND EVERYTHING YOU CAN IMAGINE.
11:40:20AM I'M NOT GOING TO MAKE ANY MOTIONS.
11:40:22AM I WANT THIS TO PLAY OUT AND THEN WE'LL FIGURE IT OUT FROM
11:40:29AM THERE.
11:40:29AM SO NOTHING.
11:40:31AM THE ONLY THING THAT I'VE HEARD IS JUST MORE PUBLIC
11:40:34AM ENGAGEMENT, BUT YOU'VE ANSWERED THAT QUESTION REGARDING A
11:40:38AM TAC.
11:40:39AM IS THAT WHAT YOU SAID?
11:40:41AM >>ABBYE FEELEY: WE HAVE A TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE.
11:40:44AM IT'S A 12 MEMBER.
11:40:45AM IT'S ON THE WEBSITE.
11:40:46AM IT INCLUDES CARROLL ANN.
11:40:48AM IT INCLUDES JAKE CREMER.
11:40:50AM IT INCLUDES BRIAN -- I'M GOING TO FUMBLE ON NAMES RIGHT NOW
11:40:56AM -- FROM ADVANCED -- THE ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS.
11:41:02AM GARRETT GRECO FROM THE REAL ESTATE WORLD.
11:41:04AM IT IS A VERY DIVERSE GROUP THAT SERVE KIND OF AS
11:41:08AM INTERMEDIARY BEFORE EVERYTHING GOES FULLY PUBLIC.
11:41:11AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I'M GLAD TO HEAR SOME OF THOSE NAMES.
11:41:13AM OBVIOUSLY, PEOPLE THAT THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING
11:41:15AM ABOUT.
11:41:16AM THEY ARE VERY INVOLVED AND THEY CARE, BECAUSE THIS WILL
11:41:19AM DETERMINE THE FUTURE -- THE DIRECTION THAT WE'RE GOING TO
11:41:23AM GO.
11:41:24AM AGAIN, ALLEYWAYS IS WHAT'S COME UP IN THE LAST MONTH.
11:41:28AM TAKEN TOURS.
11:41:29AM SEEN IT MYSELF ON MY OWN.
11:41:31AM I'LL LET THE PROCESS PLAY ITSELF OUT.
11:41:33AM I DON'T WANT TO MAKE ANY MOTIONS AND WHATNOT.
11:41:35AM >>ABBYE FEELEY: IF I COULD RESPOND TO THAT FOR JUST A
11:41:37AM MOMENT.
11:41:39AM WE ARE COMING ON THE 25th.
11:41:41AM WE DO HAVE A SET OF JULY TEXT AMENDMENTS.
11:41:44AM SOME OF THEM ARE LEGISLATIVELY DRIVEN BECAUSE OF CHANGES IN
11:41:48AM THE LEGISLATURE.
11:41:49AM THE OTHER IS IN CHANNEL DISTRICT FOR THE HEIGHT THAT WAS
11:41:52AM MOTIONED BY COUNCIL MEMBER CARLSON.
11:41:55AM WE TOO HAVE HEARD, AND IF YOU ALL RECALL, THE SHALL VERSUS
11:41:59AM THE MAY, THAT IS THE ALLEY DISCUSSION.
11:42:03AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YEAH, THOSE ARE THE WORDS.
11:42:05AM >>ABBYE FEELEY: AND IT WAS CHANGED A LITTLE BIT AGO.
11:42:08AM I KNOW THAT SOME OF THE BUILDERS IN WEST TAMPA HAVE GONE TO
11:42:11AM THE CAC BECAUSE I'VE BEEN AT THE CAC MEETING WHEN THEY WERE
11:42:15AM THERE.
11:42:15AM BUT THAT IS SOMETHING, IF COUNCIL WANTED TO CONSIDER WHEN WE
11:42:18AM COME IN SEPTEMBER, I MEAN, IF THAT IS THE DESIRE OF THE
11:42:22AM COUNCIL TO MAKE THAT MODIFICATION BEFORE THE CODE UPDATE,
11:42:26AM WE'RE HERE TO SUPPORT THAT OR SUPPORT YOUR DIRECTION ON
11:42:28AM THAT.
11:42:29AM WE DO HAVE AWARENESS OF IT.
11:42:31AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANKS.
11:42:32AM I'LL WAIT UNTIL THEN.
11:42:33AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
11:42:34AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I'M SORRY.
11:42:35AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
11:42:36AM >>BILL CARLSON: YEAH.
11:42:37AM BECAUSE WE'RE NOT ALLOWED TO TALK OUTSIDE THE MEETING, I'LL
11:42:42AM MENTION I HAD A PARTIAL BRIEFING ALSO ON THE ALLEYS.
11:42:48AM I VOTED AGAINST MOST OF THE ALLEY VACATIONS OVER THE LAST
11:42:52AM SEVEN YEARS.
11:42:53AM MY OPINION ON WEST TAMPA IS THE CITY OR CRA NEEDS TO GO AND
11:42:59AM CLEAN THESE OUT.
11:43:00AM IF THERE ARE A TREE GROWING IN THE MIDDLE, WE NEED TO CLEAN
11:43:03AM THEM OUT AND REPAVE THEM AND PROTECT THE ALLEYS.
11:43:06AM BUT THAT WOULD BE A CONVERSATION FOR ANOTHER DAY.
11:43:08AM IF SOMEBODY IS BUYING THE ENTIRE BLOCK AND WANT TO VACATE IT
11:43:11AM BECAUSE THEY CONTROL EVERYTHING, MAYBE THAT'S DIFFERENT.
11:43:13AM BUT IN THE CASE OF SOMEBODY BUILDING A COUPLE OF
11:43:16AM SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES SO THEY CAN GET AN EXTRA TEN FEET, I'M
11:43:18AM NOT IN FAVOR OF THAT.
11:43:20AM THANK YOU, MS. FEELEY, FOR THE UPDATE.
11:43:23AM TO AVOID THE CHALLENGES THAT WE'VE HAD WITH THE PLANNING
11:43:27AM COMMISSION, I WOULD ASK OR RECOMMEND THAT WE TALK ABOUT A
11:43:33AM POST-ANNOUNCEMENT PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT PROCESS IN ONE OF YOUR
11:43:38AM UPDATES.
11:43:38AM YOU SAID YOU'LL GET SOME KIND OF UPDATE IN SEPTEMBER.
11:43:41AM BASED ON WHAT YOU SAID, WHICH I AGREE WITH, YOU'RE PROBABLY
11:43:44AM NOT GOING TO GET A SUBSTANTIVE PRESENTATION UNTIL THE FIRST
11:43:46AM OR SECOND QUARTER OF NEXT YEAR BECAUSE THE PLANNING
11:43:48AM COMMISSION IS NOT COMING BACK TO US UNTIL FEBRUARY.
11:43:51AM THAT GIVES US TIME TO PUT TOGETHER A ROBUST PUBLIC
11:43:54AM ENGAGEMENT PROCESS AND I THINK SEVERAL OF US PROBABLY
11:43:58AM RECOMMENDED TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION BEFORE WE HIT THE
11:44:02AM BUZZ SAW THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE MUCH MORE ROBUST PUBLIC
11:44:06AM ENGAGEMENT AND SAID WE ALL HAD TO REACT TO IT AND THEN WE
11:44:10AM HAVE HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF ANGRY PEOPLE.
11:44:13AM SO TO AVOID THAT, I WOULD RECOMMEND A ROBUST PUBLIC
11:44:17AM ENGAGEMENT PROCESS.
11:44:20AM THE PLANNING COMMISSION ULTIMATELY DID ONE IN EACH DISTRICT
11:44:24AM THAT WAS THEIR OFFICIAL ONES, ABOUT YOU IN MEETING WITH THE
11:44:27AM NEIGHBORHOODS, WHAT WE DID IS WE GROUPED SOME OF THE
11:44:30AM NEIGHBORHOODS TOGETHER BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T MEET WITH ALL
11:44:33AM 150 NEIGHBORHOODS, BUT PUT TWO OR THREE ADJACENT TOGETHER,
11:44:37AM THEN COULD BE GROUPS OF NEIGHBORHOODS.
11:44:38AM I'M HAPPY TO HELP YOU WITH THE PROCESS.
11:44:41AM I THINK WE OUGHT TO PUT THAT IN PLACE AND LET EVERYBODY KNOW
11:44:44AM WHAT THE PROCESS WILL BE.
11:44:45AM AS THAT COMMUNICATION ABOUT THE PROCESS GETS OUT, IT WILL
11:44:47AM ALLAY CONCERNS FOR WHEN THE ANNOUNCEMENT COMES OUT THAT IT'S
11:44:50AM NOT A DONE DEAL, NOT FULLY BAKED.
11:44:53AM AND ALSO, I THINK YOU HEARD THE OTHER NIGHT THERE WAS A
11:44:57AM MISCOMMUNICATION SOMEHOW WHERE THE PLANNING COMMISSION
11:44:59AM THOUGHT WE ONLY WANTED FEEDBACK ON TWO THINGS.
11:45:03AM AND THEIR INPUT WEBSITE ONLY ANSWERED THOSE TWO QUESTIONS.
11:45:07AM BUT THE PUBLIC SAID THEY WANTED TO ANSWER MORE QUESTIONS.
11:45:09AM WHATEVER THAT PROCESS IS, YOU DON'T -- I APPRECIATE ALSO
11:45:14AM YOUR FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY IN NOT WANTING TO GO OVER THE
11:45:20AM BUDGET.
11:45:21AM WHATEVER IN PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT, IN FAVOR OF MAKING IT MORE
11:45:24AM ROBUST IF NOT ALREADY BECAUSE WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WE LISTEN
11:45:27AM TO THE PUBLIC AND BUILD CONSENSUS AND BUY-IN ON IT.
11:45:29AM LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU ON THAT.
11:45:31AM AT SOME POINT, WHEN YOU WANT TO GIVE AN UPDATE, IF YOU COULD
11:45:34AM UPDATE US ON THAT PROCESS AND GET BUY IN ON THAT, THAT WOULD
11:45:38AM HELP A LOT GOING FORWARD.
11:45:40AM >>ABBYE FEELEY: ABSOLUTELY.
11:45:41AM I CAN ALSO SHARE WHAT CLARION -- I MEAN, WE HAVE A PUBLIC
11:45:45AM ENGAGEMENT AS PART OF THE CONTRACT.
11:45:49AM SO I CAN SHARE THAT, AND THEN WE COULD PROBABLY ENHANCE THAT
11:45:51AM OR ADD TO THAT IN THE COMING MONTHS.
11:45:53AM I CAN BRING THAT BACK OR MAKE SOME TIME TO SHARE THAT WITH
11:45:53AM YOU.
11:46:00AM >>BILL CARLSON: JUST ONE ADD-ON, THE BIG DISTRICT-WIDE
11:46:02AM MEETINGS HAD A LOT OF PEOPLE.
11:46:02AM BUT WHEN WE DID TWO OR THREE NEIGHBORHOODS, WE GOT LIKE 120
11:46:07AM AT EACH ONE.
11:46:08AM IT SHOWS THAT A LOT OF TIMES WHEN PEOPLE ARE DOING PUBLIC
11:46:11AM ENGAGEMENT, THEY'LL DO LIKE ONE IN EACH DISTRICT, A COUPLE
11:46:14AM OF MEETINGS.
11:46:15AM PROBABLY WE NEED SOME KIND OF OPENING MEETING AND THEN THE
11:46:22AM NEIGHBORHOOD THING.
11:46:22AM IT MAKES A LOT MORE MEETINGS.
11:46:24AM THE NEIGHBORHOODS LED, YOU MAY OR MAY NOT WANT THEM TO LEAD,
11:46:28AM IF YOU'RE TRYING TO SAVE MONEY, THAT'S ONE WAY THE PLANNING
11:46:31AM COMMISSION SAVED MONEY SO THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR
11:46:34AM ORGANIZERS OF IT.
11:46:35AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
11:46:36AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: BEFORE WE GO ANY FURTHER IN THE ALLEYS, I
11:46:41AM REALLY BELIEVE SOMEBODY HAS TO LOOK AT ALL THE ALLEYS OF
11:46:45AM WEST TAMPA AND MEASURE THEM.
11:46:47AM THEY ARE NOT UNIFORM.
11:46:49AM YOU CAN GO FROM ARMENIA TO HIMES.
11:46:51AM BY THE TIME YOU GET TO HIMES, IT'S TWO FEET SHORTER ON THE
11:46:55AM SIDES IN SOME CASES.
11:46:56AM I THINK SOMEBODY HAS TO STUDY THE ALLEYS.
11:46:58AM >>ABBYE FEELEY: I DON'T WANT TO INTERRUPT YOU, COUNCILMAN,
11:47:02AM THERE WAS -- THE CRA PAID FOR A WEST TAMPA ALLEY STUDY.
11:47:06AM THAT STUDY HAS BEEN COMPLETED.
11:47:08AM I'LL MAKE SURE THAT EVAN OR SOMEONE FROM THE CRA STAFF
11:47:11AM REDISTRIBUTES THAT OUT TO YOU.
11:47:12AM BUT THAT WAS DONE AND THEY WERE CATEGORIZED.
11:47:16AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THAT'S ALL I WANT TO KNOW.
11:47:18AM MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS THE SAME.
11:47:20AM >>ABBYE FEELEY: YES, SIR.
11:47:21AM >>LYNN HURTAK: JUST BECAUSE IT WAS MENTIONED, I DON'T WANT
11:47:25AM TO START AN ALLEY DISCUSSION.
11:47:27AM IT'S PART OF THE LDC.
11:47:29AM THE WEST TAMPA WAS VERY CLEAR THAT THEY WANTED THAT OVERLAY.
11:47:33AM I'M NOT GOING TO GO AGAINST THEM.
11:47:34AM WE CAN DEBATE IT DURING LRC -- OR THE LDC, BUT I HAVE NO
11:47:40AM APPETITE FOR OPENING IT AGAIN RIGHT NOW.
11:47:43AM I KNOW WE'LL GET A LOT OF PEOPLE HERE IF THAT IS THE CASE.
11:47:47AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: MS. FEELEY, TWO OF THE THINGS, DEALING
11:47:52AM WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION, ONE WAS THE TRANSPORTATION
11:47:55AM READY CORRIDORS AND THE OTHER WAS, WHAT DO WE CALL THEM,
11:47:59AM COUNCILMAN CARLSON?
11:48:00AM THE NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICTS.
11:48:02AM ARE YOU INTEGRATING THOSE TWO CONCEPTS INTO YOUR LAND
11:48:07AM DEVELOPMENT CODE?
11:48:08AM >>ABBYE FEELEY: YES.
11:48:09AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: BEAUTIFUL.
11:48:09AM THANK YOU.
11:48:10AM APPRECIATE THAT.
11:48:11AM ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL?
11:48:14AM HEARING NONE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE GREAT REPORT.
11:48:16AM >>ABBYE FEELEY: THANK YOU.
11:48:17AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
11:48:18AM OKAY.
11:48:24AM NOW WE HAVE THE WALK-ON.
11:48:29AM >>LYNN HURTAK: I WANTED TO OPEN THIS BECAUSE THIS IS
11:48:31AM SOMETHING THAT WE KIND OF BROUGHT FORWARD.
11:48:33AM WE HAD A LOT OF DISCUSSION.
11:48:34AM I THINK YOU CAME IN AT THE TAIL END, BUT WE JUST HAD A
11:48:37AM REVIEW HEARING WHERE WE ALL TALKED ABOUT HOW WE TALKED TO
11:48:43AM YOU RECENTLY ABOUT A PARKING GARAGE IN EAST YBOR AND HOW --
11:48:49AM I GUESS EVERYONE THOUGHT MIGHT BE THE ONLY ONE BUT IT WAS
11:48:52AM VERY INTERESTING TO HEAR DOWN THE LINE HOW EVERYBODY IS
11:48:55AM INTERESTED IN DOING MORE PUBLIC PARKING GARAGE TO HELP ON
11:49:02AM SOME DEGREE WITH SOME OF THIS -- WITH SOME OF THE INFILL
11:49:05AM HOUSING THAT WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO IN YBOR IF WE CAN'T GO
11:49:09AM VERTICAL DUE TO THE HISTORIC NATURE OF THE COMMUNITY AND THE
11:49:13AM NEIGHBORHOOD.
11:49:13AM SO YOU'RE HERE TODAY TO TALK TO US ABOUT THE OVERALL GOAL
11:49:20AM AND VISION FOR THE PARKING DEPARTMENT, NOT LIKE A SUPER DEEP
11:49:27AM DIVE BUT NICE 30,000-FOOT VIEW.
11:49:30AM I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR REACHING OUT TO ME AND
11:49:32AM APPARENTLY ALL THE OTHERS TO TALK ABOUT THIS PLAN.
11:49:35AM IT'S VERY EXCITING.
11:49:36AM IT IS SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN NEEDED FOR A LONG TIME.
11:49:39AM AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING ABOUT IT.
11:49:41AM >>FED REVOLTE: GOOD MORNING, COUNCIL AND CHAIR.
11:49:46AM FED REVOLTE, MOBILITY.
11:49:47AM REALLY IT IS MORE OF A QUICK OVERVIEW OF THE PLAN FOR
11:49:50AM PARKING, ESPECIALLY ON THE CIP SIDE.
11:49:53AM JUST TO GIVE YOU GUYS A QUICK BACKGROUND, GOING BACK TO
11:49:57AM BEFORE 2020, PARKING NEVER GENERATED ENOUGH REVENUE TO TAKE
11:50:01AM CARE OF DEFERRED MAINTENANCE.
11:50:03AM SO WE'RE TALKING OVER A DECADE OF OUTSTANDING MAINTENANCE
11:50:06AM THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE.
11:50:07AM WHEN I JOINED THE CITY BACK IN LATE 2019, THAT WAS THE FIRST
11:50:12AM THING I WORKED ON IS CREATE A FIVE-YEAR PLAN TO INCREASE
11:50:17AM RATES, MODERNIZE THE OTHER PARKING OPERATION ITSELF TO
11:50:21AM GENERATE ENOUGH REVENUE TO TAKE CARE OF THE DEFERRED
11:50:23AM MAINTENANCE.
11:50:24AM SO WE STARTED BACK IN 2021 TO 2026, ACTUALLY, WITH A
11:50:29AM FIVE-YEAR PLAN TO GENERATE ENOUGH REVENUE TO HANDLE THE
11:50:33AM C.I.P.
11:50:34AM WE HAD SOME TECHNOLOGY UPGRADE TO MAKE THE PROCESS MORE
11:50:41AM EFFICIENT TO GENERATE MORE CUSTOMERS.
11:50:42AM BUT FOR FY '26, SPECIFICALLY, WE ONLY INCLUDED MAJOR REPAIR
11:50:51AM THAT'S BEEN NEEDED FOR PARKING, WHETHER IT IS THE ELEVATOR
11:50:56AM REPAIRS, REPAIRS, ESPECIALLY THE RIVER GATE GARAGE, TALKED
11:51:03AM ABOUT FOR YEARS.
11:51:04AM FINALLY MOVING FORWARD WITH REPAIRS.
11:51:07AM REITERATE EVERYTHING I TALKED TO YOU GUYS ABOUT AS FAR AS
11:51:12AM THE PLAN FOR PARKING MOVING FORWARD.
11:51:14AM I KNOW THERE'S BEEN CONVERSATION, PAVING PUBLIC
11:51:18AM INFRASTRUCTURE, PUBLIC TRANSIT, JUST TO BE ON THE RECORD, I
11:51:22AM AM ALL IN SUPPORT OF THAT.
11:51:24AM THE GOAL IS REALLY TO INCORPORATE SOME OF THOSE MUCH-NEEDED
11:51:30AM PARKING MAINTENANCE AND TO THE PLANS AS WELL AS WE MOVE
11:51:35AM FORWARD.
11:51:36AM GOING BACK FROM FY '2024, 2025 AND FY '26, IN TOTAL, WE'RE
11:51:42AM TAKING OUT ALMOST 10 MILLION A YEAR IN THE PARKING FUND TO
11:51:47AM SUPPORT THOSE OTHER PROJECTS.
11:51:49AM THAT IS A LOT OF MONEY COMING OUT OF THE PARKING FUND THAT
11:51:52AM COULD GO TOWARDS SOME OF THOSE PARKING REPAIRS.
11:51:56AM THE OTHER PART IS, THE LONGER WE WAIT ON SOME OF THOSE
11:52:00AM REPAIRS, THE MORE IT'S GOING TO COST US IN THE LONG RUN.
11:52:05AM I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH YOU ALL TO SEE HOW
11:52:10AM WE CAN REALLY LOOK INTO SETTING ASIDE FUNDING FOR PARKING TO
11:52:19AM REPAIR THOSE MAJOR, MAJOR PARKING DEFERRED MAINTENANCE.
11:52:22AM AS FAR AS LONG-TERM PLAN, ADDITIONAL PARKING STRUCTURE, WE
11:52:29AM CAN TALK ABOUT THAT AS WELL.
11:52:30AM EAST YBOR, THAT'S BEEN NOT JUST FOR THE PREVIOUS PROJECT
11:52:35AM THAT WAS ON THE COMMUNITY ITSELF HAS BEEN ASKING FOR PARKING
11:52:39AM ON THE EAST YBOR SIDE, ESPECIALLY FOR THE NIGHTTIME WORKERS,
11:52:46AM THE PALM GARAGE ON THE WEST SIDE, IT'S HARD FOR A LOT OF
11:52:50AM THEM TO GET TO THAT GARAGE WHEN THEY GET OFF AT 2, 3 IN THE
11:52:54AM MORNING.
11:52:55AM BUT WE HAVEN'T HAD THE FUNDING OR EVEN TALK ABOUT ADDING
11:53:00AM SOME ADDITIONAL PARKING STRUCTURE.
11:53:03AM BUT THAT IS SOMETHING I DO BELIEVE IS NEEDED IN THAT AREA,
11:53:06AM ESPECIALLY AS WE GET MORE AND MORE DEVELOPMENTS WHERE --
11:53:11AM AGAIN, THIS IS NOT ON THE ADMINISTRATION SIDE.
11:53:13AM THIS IS JUST FROM WHAT WE SAW EARLIER.
11:53:17AM IF YOU HAVE FOUR, FIVE STORY CAP AND THE FIRST TWO STORY OF
11:53:21AM IT HAS TO BE PARKING, THERE IS NOT A WHOLE LOT OF ROOM FOR
11:53:25AM THE ACTUAL PROJECT ITSELF.
11:53:26AM SO I THINK HAVING PARKING ON THE EAST SIDE OF YBOR WILL
11:53:30AM SERVE THE COMMUNITY AS WELL.
11:53:31AM ALSO THE DOWNTOWN AS WELL, WHERE THE SURFACE LOTS -- NOT
11:53:38AM SURE IF YOU SAW THE MASTER PLAN FOR THEA, ALL OF THOSE
11:53:41AM SURFACE LOTS DO PLAN TO GO AWAY.
11:53:43AM THAT'S A LOT OF REVENUE THAT THE PARKING DIVISION WILL LOSE
11:53:46AM ITSELF.
11:53:47AM WE WANT TO MAKE SURE AS WE DO A FIVE-YEAR PLAN, WE LOOK
11:53:52AM INTO, OKAY, WHAT IF PARKING DOESN'T GENERATE THE SAME AMOUNT
11:53:55AM OF REVENUE THAT HAS BEEN GENERATING, DO WE HAVE ENOUGH MONEY
11:53:59AM TO MAINTAIN THE C.I.P. PROJECT?
11:54:02AM FOR FY '26, WE'RE GOOD.
11:54:05AM THE 10 MILLION IS ALL GOING TO MAJOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT
11:54:10AM PROJECT.
11:54:10AM THE SAME THING FOR 2027 AS WELL.
11:54:12AM SO REALLY, AGAIN, IT'S MORE SO JUST WANT TO REITERATE TO YOU
11:54:19AM ALL THAT OUR PLAN AND MY GOAL WHEN I DID THE INITIAL RATE
11:54:23AM STUDY BACK IN 2019, 2020, WAS JUST TO HAVE ENOUGH MONEY FOR
11:54:28AM PARKING TO TAKE CARE OF THE DEFERRED MAINTENANCE THAT'S BEEN
11:54:32AM DELAYED FOR OVER A DECADE.
11:54:34AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
11:54:38AM >>BILL CARLSON: YEAH, I APPRECIATE YOU TAKING A LEADERSHIP
11:54:40AM ROLE.
11:54:40AM SADLY, I REALIZE IN TALKING TO YOU THE OTHER DAY AND
11:54:44AM PREVIOUS CONVERSATIONS THAT WE HAVEN'T HAD YOU PRESENT TO US
11:54:47AM AS MUCH AS WE PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE BECAUSE YOU HAD A VISION
11:54:50AM GOING BACK TO, WHAT WAS IT --
11:54:54AM >>FED REVOLTE: I JOINED THE CITY IN 2019.
11:54:57AM GOING INTO MY SIXTH YEAR.
11:54:58AM >>BILL CARLSON: WE SHOULD HAVE TALKED ABOUT IT MORE THEN.
11:55:01AM THERE WAS THE WHOLE PUSH FOR THE PARKING RATE INCREASES.
11:55:04AM TO THE PUBLIC, MUCH OF IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS A POLICY
11:55:09AM DECISION TO TRY TO PUSH PEOPLE OUT OF PARKING AND NOT TO
11:55:14AM DRIVE.
11:55:14AM SO PEOPLE REALLY OBJECTED.
11:55:16AM HAD THE PUBLIC REALLY KNOWN WHAT YOUR WHOLE VISION WAS, I
11:55:19AM THINK THEY WOULD HAVE UNDERSTOOD.
11:55:21AM I THINK IT'S TERRIBLE THAT DURING THE BIGGEST ECONOMIC BOON
11:55:24AM IN AMERICAN HISTORY THAT NO MAINTENANCE OR VERY LITTLE
11:55:26AM MAINTENANCE WAS DONE.
11:55:28AM AND THE RATES WERE NOT ADJUSTED EITHER.
11:55:30AM THERE SHOULD BE INCREMENTAL RATE BECAUSE IT WAS JARRING TO
11:55:34AM THE PUBLIC TO HAVE TO RAISE THE RATES, AND IT'S GOING TO BE
11:55:37AM JARRING TO THE BUDGET TO HAVE TO GO BACK AND DO DEFERRED
11:55:41AM MAINTENANCE.
11:55:41AM SHOULDN'T BE DEFERRED MAINTENANCE.
11:55:43AM IT SHOULD ALL BE INCREMENTAL.
11:55:45AM I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING HOW YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP US
11:55:47AM TO MAKE SURE THAT WHOEVER IS IN CHARGE, THAT IT MOVES
11:55:51AM FORWARD INCREMENTALLY AND NOT IN BIG JOLTS.
11:55:55AM A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, WE RAIDED THE ELECTRONIC SIGNAGE
11:56:03AM BUDGET WHICH I DIDN'T AGREE WITH BECAUSE THE MODERN WAY
11:56:07AM PEOPLE RUN EVENTS AND I TALKED TO THE -- MODERN WAY PEOPLE
11:56:11AM RUN EVENTS, THEY SEND THE PARKING INFORMATION IN ADVANCE.
11:56:14AM YOU SHOULDN'T -- WHEN YOU GET UNDERNEATH THE TUNNEL AT THE
11:56:18AM CONVENTION CENTER, THAT'S NOT THE POINT WHERE YOU SUDDENLY
11:56:22AM DECIDE WHERE TO PARK.
11:56:23AM WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WE'RE GETTING ALL THE VENUES, AND IT
11:56:26AM SOUNDS LIKE VENUES ARE, GET THEM TO COMMUNICATE TO PATRONS
11:56:32AM SO THEY KNOW WHERE TO PARK IN ADVANCE, EITHER BUY PARKING IN
11:56:35AM ADVANCE OR KNOW WHERE THEY ARE GOING TO PARK.
11:56:37AM SHOULDN'T BE MAKING LAST-MINUTE DECISIONS.
11:56:41AM SOUNDS LIKE IT IS OKAY WITH THE LITTLE BIT OF MONEY WE
11:56:44AM PULLED OUT LAST NIGHT BUT WE DEFINITELY NEED TO MAKE SURE WE
11:56:47AM MAINTAIN THE MAINTENANCE.
11:56:51AM DON'T LET US DEFER, ESPECIALLY STRUCTURAL MAINTENANCE.
11:56:54AM WE NEED THAT DONE.
11:56:56AM THE OTHER THING, I DON'T KNOW THAT IT'S UP TO US, I THINK WE
11:57:01AM SHOULD START HAVING CONVERSATIONS WITH HCC.
11:57:04AM 30 YEARS SINCE THE DEAL WAS DONE WITH NORIEGA.
11:57:08AM I BET A CREATIVE DEAL WE COULD CUT WITH HCC.
11:57:12AM IF WE ADDED THE NORTHERN PART OF NORIEGA GARAGE, THAT WOULD
11:57:17AM ADD MORE INVENTORY WITHOUT HAVING TO BUILD ANYTHING.
11:57:20AM MAYBE A LAND SWAP OR SOME WAY WE CAN BUY THEIR REMAINING
11:57:23AM INTEREST OR SOMETHING.
11:57:24AM I KNOW THERE ARE OTHER PARCELS IN THE AREA.
11:57:27AM WITHOUT PUTTING TOO MUCH ON THE TABLE, I HOPE WE CAN ENGAGE
11:57:31AM WITH THAT.
11:57:31AM IT'S BUILD.
11:57:32AM THE INFRASTRUCTURE IS THERE.
11:57:33AM I FORGOT TO MENTION THE SCANNERS GOING IN AND OUT, THAT IS A
11:57:38AM GREAT TECHNOLOGY.
11:57:39AM IT'S SO MUCH FASTER.
11:57:41AM SO MUCH FASTER THAN THE -- GREAT IDEA AND GREAT TECHNOLOGY.
11:57:49AM WHAT IT HAS TO DO IS MOVE PEOPLE IN AND OUT FASTER, WHICH IS
11:57:53AM AN IMPORTANT CUSTOMER SERVICE GOAL.
11:57:55AM EAST YBOR WE TALKED ABOUT.
11:57:57AM IF YOU HAVE A PROPOSAL ON HOW TO DO THAT AND HOW TO FUND IT,
11:58:00AM PLEASE COME TO US SOONER THAN LATER.
11:58:03AM WITH THIS ADMINISTRATION, THIS COUNCIL, WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF
11:58:06AM TIME.
11:58:06AM SO ANY IDEAS YOU HAVE ON HOW TO DO IT, PLEASE COME FORWARD.
11:58:10AM THE CITY OBVIOUSLY HAS A LOT OF LAND.
11:58:12AM WE HAVE SURFACE PARKING LOTS.
11:58:14AM MOST PEOPLE IN YBOR WOULD RATHER THE SURFACE PARKING LOTS
11:58:16AM TURN INTO SOMETHING LARGER.
11:58:19AM IDEALLY THEY WOULD HAVE RETAIL ON THE BOTTOM OR SOME KIND OF
11:58:23AM ACTIVATION ON THE BOTTOM, MORE THAN ART DISPLAYS.
11:58:26AM OTHER THING YOU AND I TALKED ABOUT AND MAYBE WANT TO COMMENT
11:58:29AM ON, THERE IS A PHILOSOPHY THAT GOVERNMENT SHOULD OWN
11:58:32AM SOMETHING AND MAKE A SURPLUS AND SPEND IT FOR SOME OTHER
11:58:35AM PUBLIC GOOD.
11:58:36AM THERE IS ANOTHER THEORY THAT GOVERNMENT SHOULD FILL GAPS IN
11:58:40AM THE COMMUNITY THAT THE PRIVATE SECTOR AND NONPROFIT SECTOR
11:58:43AM ARE NOT FILLING.
11:58:44AM AN EXAMPLE OF THAT IS FORT BROOKE.
11:58:46AM THAT WAS BUILT LIKE 40 YEARS AGO, 20, 30 YEARS AGO THEY
11:58:52AM ADDED FOUR FLOORS.
11:58:54AM IT SEEMS TO ME THAT ALTHOUGH YOUR POINT OF VIEW IS THAT'S
11:58:58AM GENERATING A LOT OF CASH, ALSO IF SOMEBODY DID A CASH FLOW
11:59:02AM PROJECTION ON THE VALUE OF IT, IT'S WORTH A LOT.
11:59:04AM OUR CHOICE IN BUILDING A NEW GARAGE WOULD BE TO TAKE OUT
11:59:08AM DEBT OR SELL ONE OF THE EXISTING ASSETS AND YOU TALKED ABOUT
11:59:12AM ANOTHER LOCATION THAT I'LL LET YOU MENTION INSTEAD OF ME.
11:59:15AM I'M NOT IN A HURRY TO SELL SOMETHING.
11:59:17AM FORT BROOKE, BACK IN THE '80s, THAT WAS SERVING A PUBLIC
11:59:20AM GOOD BY THE GOVERNMENT PARTNERING WITH THE QUAD COMPLEX
11:59:24AM ACROSS THE STREET.
11:59:24AM BUT NOW THAT THAT GARAGE IS FULL ALL THE TIME, NIGHT AND
11:59:29AM DAY, IT'S MAKING MONEY, BUT THE CITY DOESN'T HAVE TO SERVE
11:59:32AM THAT GOOD.
11:59:33AM IT SEEMS LIKE THE CAPITAL COULD BE BETTER SPENT SOMEWHERE
11:59:36AM ELSE WHERE WE CAN INCENTIVIZE GROWTH AND MAYBE IF IT IS
11:59:39AM ALLOWED, THE CRA PARTICIPATE IN SOME WAY.
11:59:41AM I THINK YOU HAVE A LOT OF EXPERIENCE IN PARKING.
11:59:45AM IF YOU HAVE ANY KIND OF CREATIVE VISION, PLEASE COME TO US
11:59:48AM AND TALK TO US ABOUT IT INDIVIDUALLY, COLLECTIVELY.
11:59:51AM >>FED REVOLTE: APPRECIATE THAT.
11:59:52AM WE'RE IN A DIFFERENT STAGE NOW BECAUSE PARKING JUST DID NOT
11:59:56AM HAVE THE CAPITAL, THE FUND TO DISCUSS THOSE PROJECTS.
12:00:00PM AS WE MOVE FORWARD WORKING WITH LEGAL, THE REAL ESTATE
12:00:02PM DEPARTMENT, THAT WILL BE THE PLAN MOVING FORWARD.
12:00:09PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I DON'T KNOW WHY WE WANT TO SELL A SLOT
12:00:12PM MACHINE.
12:00:14PM >>BILL CARLSON: THE QUESTION IS, DO WE WANT TO TAKE OUT MORE
12:00:17PM DEBT OR NOT?
12:00:18PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: AS LONG AS IT PAYS FOR ITSELF WITH THE
12:00:21PM REVENUE GENERATED.
12:00:22PM >>BILL CARLSON: THAT'S WITH ANY BUSINESS.
12:00:24PM YOU DO A DISCOUNTED CASH FLOW ANALYSIS AND YOU FIGURE OUT
12:00:27PM WHAT THE VALUE OF THE CASH IS AND YOU GET THE PRESENT VALUE.
12:00:30PM I'M NOT SAYING THAT WE SHOULD SELL IT.
12:00:34PM I'M SAYING -- BUT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO MAKE A CHOICE, IF
12:00:38PM WE BUILD A NEW PARKING GARAGE, WHICH I THINK WE SHOULD BUILD
12:00:41PM ONE, AT LEAST A COUPLE, ONE IN DOWNTOWN AND ONE IN YBOR,
12:00:45PM HAVE TO EITHER BORROW MONEY, WHICH WE NEED TO FURTHER DEFINE
12:00:49PM THE ENTERPRISE FUND WHICH I THINK IT'S NOT OFFICIALLY AN
12:00:52PM ENTERPRISE FUND BUT BETTER PROTECT THE MONEY AND THEN LOOK
12:00:56PM AT WHAT OUR SOURCES OF CAPITAL ARE.
12:00:58PM >>FED REVOLTE: I THINK IT IS DOING THE ANALYSIS.
12:01:01PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I DON'T WANT TO REPEAT THE SAME MISTAKE
12:01:04PM THAT A PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATION DID -- A VERY PROFITABLE
12:01:07PM PARKING GARAGE.
12:01:09PM >>BILL CARLSON: WE DEFINITELY SHOULDN'T FIRE SALE ANYTHING.
12:01:12PM CAN YOU MENTION THE OTHER --
12:01:19PM >>FED REVOLTE: WHITING STREET GARAGE.
12:01:20PM IT'S PART OF THE RIA PROJECT THAT THE ADMINISTRATION
12:01:24PM SUBMITTED.
12:01:25PM WE'RE WAITING TO GET CONFIRMATION ON THAT.
12:01:27PM I CAN'T DO ANYTHING YET UNTIL WE HEAR BACK.
12:01:34PM >>BILL CARLSON: THE AIR RIGHTS ARE VERY VALUABLE IN THAT
12:01:37PM CASE.
12:01:38PM MAYBE THERE IS A CASE WHERE WE COULD KEEP THE CASH FLOW BUT
12:01:42PM SOMEHOW MONETIZE THE AIR RIGHT.
12:01:44PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: ACTUALLY HAD CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THAT AS
12:01:46PM WELL.
12:01:46PM A COUPLE OF THINGS.
12:01:50PM SOMEBODY REFRESH MY MEMORY.
12:01:52PM TWO BUDGET CYCLES THAT I'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN THIS, BRINGING
12:01:55PM MONEY OUT OF PARKING HAS NOT BEEN FROM OUR MAINTENANCE
12:01:59PM BUDGET.
12:01:59PM WE PROTECTED THE MAINTENANCE BUDGET THE LAST TWO CYCLES I'VE
12:02:02PM BEEN INVOLVED IN.
12:02:03PM WE TOOK MONEY FROM THE WANT, NOT THE NEEDS.
12:02:05PM WE TOOK MONEY FROM THE PROJECTS OF THE ELECTRONICS --
12:02:10PM >>FED REVOLTE: FOR FY '24.
12:02:12PM LET'S SAY WE HAVE 30, 40 MILLION.
12:02:15PM WE HAD 5 MILLION ALLOCATED FOR TECHNOLOGY.
12:02:19PM BUT IF WE TAKE MONEY FROM FY '24, WE HAVE LESS MONEY TO
12:02:23PM SPEND IN FY '25, FY '26.
12:02:26PM RIGHT NOW FOR FY '26, WE ALREADY HAVE THE 7 MILLION
12:02:32PM ALLOCATED FOR THE PAVING.
12:02:34PM WE'LL DO THE 1.3 MILLION THAT COUNCIL MEMBER HURTAK DID THE
12:02:39PM MOTION FOR IT LAST NIGHT.
12:02:40PM ACTUALLY GOT A NEW FUND BALANCE FROM BUDGET.
12:02:46PM RIGHT NOW PROJECTED FOR AT THE END OF FY '26, WE HAVE 2.1
12:02:51PM MILLION.
12:02:51PM WITH THE 1.35 COMING OUT, WE'LL STILL BE GOOD.
12:02:56PM LEAVES ABOUT 700,000 TO WORK WITH.
12:02:58PM BUT WE'RE IN GOOD SHAPE WITH THAT.
12:03:03PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: BARRING THE FY '26 DISCUSSION, THAT IS NOT
12:03:08PM BAKED YET, I WANT TO RIGHT SET THIS BECAUSE I NEVER WOULD
12:03:12PM HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN A VOTE TO TAKE MONEY AWAY FROM
12:03:14PM MAINTENANCE.
12:03:15PM >>FED REVOLTE: YOU ARE CORRECT.
12:03:17PM FY '24, WE HAD THE MONEY ALLOCATED FOR TECHNOLOGY UPGRADE.
12:03:21PM THAT'S WHAT WAS TAKEN FOR THE PAVING IN FY '24.
12:03:26PM BUT FOR FY '25 AND FY '26, WE DON'T HAVE ANY TECHNOLOGY
12:03:31PM BUDGETED, BUT THE MONEY CONTINUE TO BE TAKEN OUT.
12:03:34PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WHAT WAS TAKEN OUT OF WHAT LINE ITEM FOR
12:03:36PM '25?
12:03:37PM >>FED REVOLTE: IT WAS FROM THE FUND BALANCE, PARKING FUND
12:03:40PM BALANCE.
12:03:41PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WAS IT TAKEN OUT BEFORE IT GOT TO US?
12:03:43PM >>FED REVOLTE: THAT'S CORRECT.
12:03:44PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: IT WASN'T COUNCIL THAT DID IT.
12:03:46PM >>FED REVOLTE: IT'S PART OF GETTING MONEY FROM PARKING
12:03:48PM TOWARD PAVING, ESSENTIALLY.
12:03:51PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I SEE MR. PERRY'S FACE IS ON MY MONITOR.
12:03:55PM DID YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO ADD TO THAT, MR. PERRY?
12:03:57PM OR YOU WANTED TO SHOW OFF -- YOU ARE ON MUTE.
12:04:01PM YOU ARE MUTED.
12:04:02PM STILL MUTED BUT YOU ARE LOOKING FABULOUS WITH THE HEADSET
12:04:13PM ON.
12:04:13PM TOTALLY STAR WARS.
12:04:15PM YOU NEED TO BE IN A FIGHTER THING.
12:04:17PM SORRY WE CAN'T HEAR YOU, MR. PERRY.
12:04:20PM MY RECOLLECTION IS I DIDN'T VOTE ON NOT DOING MAINTENANCE.
12:04:24PM >>FED REVOLTE: THAT'S CORRECT.
12:04:25PM YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.
12:04:27PM FY '25, FY '26, FOR EXAMPLE, WE ALREADY TAKE THE MONEY OUT
12:04:32PM AND ALLOCATE IT TOWARD THE PAVING BEFORE GET TO COUNCIL.
12:04:36PM MY GOAL IS TO HAVE A FIVE-YEAR PLAN TO WHERE WE ALREADY
12:04:42PM ALLOCATE THE FUNDS TO MAJOR PARKING.
12:04:46PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: ANYBODY IN THE CITY LISTENING, ESPECIALLY
12:04:48PM SOMETHING AS CRITICAL AS SAFETY RELATED, DEFERRED
12:04:51PM MAINTENANCE, BRING THAT TO OUR ATTENTION.
12:04:53PM I WILL BE VERY SENSITIVE, I'M SURE THE ENTIRE COUNCIL WOULD
12:04:56PM BE AS WELL.
12:04:57PM I DON'T THINK ANY ONE OF US WANT TO BE SITTING IN THE SEAT
12:05:01PM AND DEFERRING REQUIRED MAINTENANCE BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT GOT
12:05:04PM US TO WHERE WE ARE TODAY.
12:05:07PM >>FED REVOLTE: FOR THE RECORD, MY CONVERSATION WITH EVERY
12:05:09PM SINGLE ONE OF YOU HAS BEEN VERY SUPPORTIVE WHEN IT COMES TO
12:05:12PM MAKING SURE WE HANDLE THE MAINTENANCE.
12:05:14PM ELEVATORS, REPAIRS, ANYTHING, SAFETY, DEFERRED MAINTENANCE,
12:05:18PM I HAVE THE FULL SUPPORT.
12:05:22PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU.
12:05:23PM IT SHOULD GO ACROSS EVERY DEPARTMENT LINE IN THE CITY OF
12:05:25PM TAMPA.
12:05:26PM I DON'T THINK ANYBODY UP HERE WANTS TO BE SITTING IN THE
12:05:29PM SEATS THINKING THAT WE'RE GOING TO CAUSE THE SAME PROBLEM
12:05:32PM FOR FUTURE COUNCILS THAT HAVE BEEN HANDED OFF TO US WITH THE
12:05:35PM DEFERRED MAINTENANCE.
12:05:36PM COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
12:05:36PM >>BILL CARLSON: JUST FOLLOWING ON SOMETHING MENTIONED ON
12:05:40PM THIS.
12:05:42PM AS I UNDERSTAND IT, IT'S NOT EXACTLY AN ENTERPRISE FUND.
12:05:45PM BUT IF THERE IS A WAY TO PROTECT IT MORE, BY MORE
12:05:52PM FORMALIZING IT WITH AN ORDINANCE, CAN YOU PLEASE TALK TO
12:05:56PM LEGAL AND LET US KNOW?
12:05:57PM WE CAN'T JUST TAKE MONEY OUT OF WATER AND SPEND IT SOMEWHERE
12:06:00PM ELSE.
12:06:01PM I KNOW BECAUSE IT IS MOBILITY.
12:06:02PM THERE ARE STILL LIMITATIONS, BUT WITHIN THE PARKING
12:06:04PM ENTERPRISE, NOW THAT YOU'VE TURNED IT INTO AN ENTERPRISE, IT
12:06:07PM WAS LOSING MONEY BEFORE, BUT NOW THAT IT'S GENERATING CASH,
12:06:11PM IF THERE IS A WAY WE CAN FURTHER PROTECT IT AS AN ENTERPRISE
12:06:14PM SO WE CAN BE STRATEGIC ABOUT IT.
12:06:16PM BECAUSE IT IS A STRATEGIC ISSUE IN THE CITY, WHERE AS
12:06:20PM COUNCIL MEMBER HURTAK MENTIONED EARLIER, IN YBOR, SMALLER
12:06:24PM DEVELOPERS WHO LIKE TO BUILD SMALLER PROJECTS BUT CAN'T
12:06:27PM AFFORD TO BUILD THE PARKING AROUND IT.
12:06:30PM CAPITAL INVESTMENT IN A PARKING GARAGE COULD REALLY HELP
12:06:33PM REVITALIZE EAST YBOR, FOR EXAMPLE.
12:06:37PM >> I AGREE.
12:06:38PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION?
12:06:39PM HEARING NO DISCUSSION, THIS FINISHES OUR BUSINESS ON THE
12:06:43PM SCHEDULE UNTIL OUR 1:30 PUBLIC HEARING WHICH WE CAN'T DO
12:06:46PM UNTIL 1:30.
12:06:47PM IF YOU ALL WILL BE IN RECESS UNTIL 1:25 SO OUR BUTTS ARE IN
12:06:56PM THE SEATS AND READY TO GO AT 1:30.
12:07:02PM [ SOUNDING GAVEL ]

01:42:24PM HEARINGS.
01:42:24PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: SECOND.
01:42:26PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: MOTION FROM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.

01:42:31PM OPPOSED?
01:42:32PM THE AYES HAVE IT UNANIMOUSLY.
01:42:34PM GO AHEAD.
01:42:37PM >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: GOOD AFTERNOON, CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF
01:42:39PM CITY COUNCIL, SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ, LEGAL DEPARTMENT.
01:42:42PM CITY COUNCIL SCHEDULED THESE PUBLIC HEARING SESSION 27-318,
01:42:52PM VIOLATION OF THE 27-319 OF THE CITY CODE.
01:42:55PM COUNCIL GRANTS A LOT OF -- AND STAFF ADMINISTRATIVELY GRANTS
01:43:02PM APPROVAL FOR ALCOHOL BEVERAGE PERMITS AND ONE IS A SPECIAL
01:43:08PM RESTAURANT PERMIT.
01:43:09PM PERMIT FOR ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE SALES TO ALLOW FOOD
01:43:13PM ESTABLISHMENTS TO HAVE A PERMIT WITHOUT GETTING A LICENSE
01:43:16PM FROM THE STATE, BUT ONE OF THE CONDITIONS ON THOSE IS THAT
01:43:18PM THEY MAINTAIN AT LEAST 51% OF THEIR SALES IN FOOD.
01:43:23PM AND SO AS PART OF THE GRANTING OF THIS TYPE OF PERMIT
01:43:27PM THROUGH THE CITY, SECTION 27-319, WHICH I HAVE DISTRIBUTED
01:43:32PM COPIES OF TO COUNCIL REQUIRES THAT THE PROPERTY OWNER OR THE
01:43:37PM HOLDER OF THE ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE LICENSE KEEP AND MAINTAIN
01:43:40PM BOOKS AND RECORDS THAT SHOW THAT THEY, IN FACT, ARE
01:43:44PM COMPLYING WITH THAT 51% GROSS SALES OF FOOD AND 49% SALES OF
01:43:50PM ALCOHOL.
01:43:50PM YOU WILL SEE THERE IN ACTION -- SUBSECTIONS A-1, A THROUGH D
01:43:56PM IS REQUIREMENT TO MAINTAIN SEPARATE BOOKS AND RECORD AND HAS
01:43:59PM TO IDENTIFY THE DAILY SALES OF FOOD AND ALCOHOL AND THEN
01:44:04PM GROSS SALES OF FOOD AND ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE FOR EACH CALENDAR
01:44:07PM YEAR.
01:44:08PM THEN IN SUBSECTIONS A-2, PROPERTY OWNER AND HOLDER OF THE
01:44:14PM ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE LICENSE IS REQUIRED TO SUBMIT A SIGNED
01:44:16PM STATEMENT TO THE DEPARTMENT REFLECTING SEPARATELY THE GROSS
01:44:20PM SALE OF FOOD AND THE GROSS SALE OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE MADE
01:44:24PM FROM THE BUSINESS FOR THE PROCEEDING ANNUAL PERIOD.
01:44:26PM YOU WILL SEE IS SUBSECTIONS, B, SORRY, 2-B, THOSE STATEMENTS
01:44:32PM MUST BE SUBMITTED ELECTRONICALLY BY HAND DELIVERY MAIL OR
01:44:35PM POSTMARKED ON OR BEFORE THE 31st DAY OF JANUARY OF EACH
01:44:39PM YEAR.
01:44:39PM SUBSECTIONS B OF SECTION 27-319 LISTS THE PENALTIES FOR
01:44:47PM FAILING TO COMPLY WITH ANY PART OF THE SUBSECTIONS.
01:44:50PM I WANTED TO CALL YOUR ATTENTION TO SUBSECTIONS C AS WELL,
01:44:54PM NONCOMPLIANCE WITH ANY PART OF THIS SECTION SHALL BE DEEMED
01:44:58PM A VIOLATION OF THE SECTION AND SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF
01:45:02PM SECTION 27-318.
01:45:03PM COUNCIL WILL RECALL THAT 27-318 AUTHORIZES COUNCIL TO
01:45:09PM SUSPEND OR REVOKE THE APPROVAL FOR ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE SALES
01:45:14PM OF AN ESTABLISHMENT WHEN COUNCIL DETERMINES AFTER CONDUCTING
01:45:19PM A PUBLIC HEARING THAT THE PROPERTY OWNER OR HOLDER OF THE
01:45:24PM ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE HAS BEEN FOUND TO VIOLATED ANY ONE OF A
01:45:28PM LAUNDRY LIST OF ITEMS.
01:45:29PM SPECIFICALLY TO THESE.
01:45:31PM AND AGAIN, I PROVIDED COPIES OF SECTION 27-318.
01:45:36PM IF YOU GO TO PAGE 506, LIST THERE IN THAT LAUNDRY LIST IS
01:45:41PM VIOLATED ANY PART OF SECTION 27-319, RECORDS, ANNUAL REPORTS
01:45:46PM IN THAT R ZONING CLASSIFICATION.
01:45:48PM AND ALSO AS KIND OF A CATCH-ALL, VIOLATED ANY SECTION OF
01:45:52PM CHAPTER 27, WHICH OBVIOUSLY 27-319 IS A PART OF.
01:45:56PM THOSE ARE THE BASES OF THESE HEARINGS TODAY.
01:46:00PM EACH OF THE ESTABLISHMENTS WE SENT OUT LETTERS TO ABOUT 58
01:46:04PM ESTABLISHMENTS EACH OF WHICH FAILED TO PROVIDE A WRITTEN
01:46:11PM REPORT TO THE CITY IN A TIMELY MANNER BY JANUARY 31 OF 2025.
01:46:14PM AND SOME WE HAVE NOTICED THEM IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CITY
01:46:22PM CODE REQUIREMENT PUBLIC HEARING 27-318.
01:46:25PM AND AS COUNCIL MAY RECALL, WE HAVE DONE A NUMBER OF THESE
01:46:28PM HEARS PREVIOUSLY AND COUNCIL MAY SUSPEND UP TO 30 DAYS FOR
01:46:34PM THE FIRST VIOLATION OF 27-318.
01:46:36PM IN TERMING WHETHER TO SUSPEND OR REVOKE AN APPROVAL OF
01:46:41PM ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES, COUNCIL WILL CONSIDER AND RIGHT IN THE
01:46:46PM MIDDLE OF PAGE 506.
01:46:51PM GRAVITY OF THE VIOLATION.
01:46:55PM ANY ACTION TAKEN BY THE VIOLATE TO CORRECT THE VIOLATION AND
01:46:59PM ANY PREVIOUS VIOLATIONS COMMITTED BY THE VIOLATOR.
01:47:01PM I WILL NOW TURN IT OVER TOWER RICK COTTON WHO WILL PRESENT
01:47:05PM THE CASE FOR EACH ESTABLISHMENT.
01:47:07PM AND I WILL BE AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT COUNCIL
01:47:09PM MAY HAVE AS WE PROCEED WITH THE PUBLIC HEARINGS.
01:47:12PM THANK YOU.
01:47:12PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU.
01:47:15PM MR. COTTON.
01:47:16PM >>ERIC COTTON: GOOD AFTERNOON, COUNCIL, ERIC COTTON, LAND
01:47:20PM DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
01:47:20PM FOLLOWING UP ON MISS JOHNSON-VELEZ'S STATEMENTS, EACH YEAR
01:47:25PM AT THE END -- EACH YEAR ON JANUARY 1 IS THE TIME FRAME WHERE
01:47:30PM PEOPLE ARE SUPPOSED TO SUBMIT DOCUMENTATION TO US IF THEY
01:47:34PM HAVE AN R DESIGNATION OR ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT THEIR FOOD
01:47:38PM SALES.
01:47:38PM WE ARE JUST ASKING -- A FORM THEY FILL OUT AND TELL US THE
01:47:42PM PERCENTAGE OF THEIR SALES FOR NONALCOHOLIC FOOD AND
01:47:46PM BEVERAGES AND NONALCOHOLIC FOOD AND BEVERAGES AND COMMERCIAL
01:47:51PM INSURANCE AUDIT.
01:47:51PM A MOTION THAT COUNCIL PUT THAT BACK INTO PLAY AROUND 2008 OR
01:47:55PM SO.
01:47:56PM AND IF THEY GET THOSE DOCUMENTATION INTO US BY THE END OF
01:47:59PM JANUARY, THEY ARE CONSIDERED TO BE IN COMPLETE COMPLIANCE
01:48:02PM WITH THE CODE.
01:48:04PM IF THEY DON'T DO THAT, STAFF -- DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION
01:48:08PM STAFF SENDS OUT A FOLLOW-UP LETTER SAYING -- IT IS CALLED A
01:48:11PM NOTICE OF NONCOMPLIANCE AND LATE FEE.
01:48:13PM AND IT GIVES THEM UNTIL MARCH 2 TO FILL OUT THE
01:48:16PM DOCUMENTATION PROVIDED TO STAFF.
01:48:18PM WE SENT OUT -- THERE IS 167 ESTABLISHMENTS THAT ARE REQUIRED
01:48:23PM TO REPORT IN THE CITY OF TAMPA.
01:48:24PM OF THAT NUMBER, 109 REPORTED ON TIME.
01:48:27PM 58 DID NOT.
01:48:28PM SO THOSE ARE THE 58 THAT ARE ON THE LIST THAT MR. SHELBY
01:48:32PM HAS, I WILL BE PASSING OUT IN A MOMENT.
01:48:34PM OF THOSE 58 -- SO WHEN WE SEND OUT THE NOTICE -- THE NOTICE
01:48:39PM FOR NOTICE OF SUSPENSION THAT HAS EVERYBODY HERE TODAY.
01:48:42PM IT WAS A VERY DETAILED, LABOR INTENSIVE TO CROSS REFERENCE
01:48:47PM PROPERTY OWNERS, BUSINESS OWNERS BASED ON WHAT THE STATE
01:48:50PM HAS.
01:48:50PM AND OF THOSE 58 THAT DID RECEIVE NOTICE, THERE ARE NOW 28
01:48:55PM ARE IN COMPLIANCE.
01:48:56PM I WILL GO THROUGH THAT LIST FIRST.
01:48:58PM FOR THOSE, STAFF IS NOT RECOMMENDING ANY ACTION ON.
01:49:01PM AND THEN THERE IS ANOTHER LIST OF PEOPLE COME INTO PARTIAL
01:49:04PM COMPLIANCE AND PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOT RESPONDED AT ALL TO ANY
01:49:07PM OF THE NOTICE COMING BACK TO THE OFFICE.
01:49:12PM THIS IS CONSIDERED A FIRST VIOLATION BY THE CODE, SO NEXT
01:49:16PM YEAR, THE FEE IS $100 WHEN YOU FILE ON TIME.
01:49:20PM NEXT YEAR THE FEE GOES TO $500 IF YOU DON'T FILE ON TIME.
01:49:24PM SO LET ME GO THROUGH LIST FIRST OF THE ONES IN COMPLIANCE.
01:49:33PM BECAUSE THOSE PEOPLE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW AND THEY CAN THEN
01:49:38PM GET READY TO LEAVE.
01:49:39PM I WILL GIVE THE NAME OF THE BUSINESS AND ADDRESS WE HAVE ON
01:49:41PM FILE.
01:49:43PM >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: COUNCIL, I AM SORRY, SUSAN
01:49:47PM JOHNSON-VELEZ, I DID PROVIDE COUNCIL WITH SAMPLE MOTIONS FOR
01:49:49PM YOUR EASE OF REFERENCE.
01:49:50PM I BELIEVE IF YOU HAVE THE LIST THAT MR. COTTON IS GOING TO
01:49:54PM GO THROUGH NOW, I TRIED TO COLOR CODE THE MOTIONS FOR YOUR
01:49:58PM EASE OF REFERENCE.
01:49:58PM GREEN MOTION GOES WITH THESE RESTAURANTS THAT ARE GOING NOW.
01:50:01PM I THINK WHAT WE WILL BE ASKING FOR AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE
01:50:05PM MOTION IS A FINDING OF VIOLATION.
01:50:06PM AND THEN THE ACTION OF NO SUSPENSION FOR THOSE THAT HAVE
01:50:11PM ALREADY FULL COMPLIANCE.
01:50:12PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: SO THE ONES THAT ARE IN COMPLIANCE, IS
01:50:18PM THAT GOING TO REQUIRE A SEPARATE HEARING FOR EACH ONE OF
01:50:20PM THESE ESTABLISHMENTS?
01:50:21PM OR WILL WE BE ABLE TO MOVE IN AS SOON AS YOU ARE FINISHED
01:50:24PM WITH YOUR PRESENTATION?
01:50:27PM WE WILL BE ABLE TO MOVE THIS ONE THING AFTER YOU ARE
01:50:29PM FINISHED WITH YOUR PRESENTATION?
01:50:33PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: YOU CAN, BUT THIS BEING A PUBLIC HEARING,
01:50:35PM WE WANT SOMEONE IF THEY WANT TO ADDRESS COUNCIL
01:50:38PM INDIVIDUALLY, THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO THAT.
01:50:39PM SO WE CAN ASK -- AFTER YOU GO THROUGH THE LIST, WE CAN ASK
01:50:43PM THEM TO LINE UP.
01:50:45PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: MY NEXT YES.
01:50:48PM DO I NEED TO CALL BASED ON THE BUSINESS NAME FOR EACH ONE OF
01:50:52PM THESE BUSINESSES TO SPEAK PUBLICALLY?
01:50:54PM >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: I WOULD SUGGEST AFTER MR. COTTON GOES
01:50:59PM THROUGH THE LIST.
01:50:59PM ASK IF ANYONE FROM THE ESTABLISHMENTS IF IT IS COUNCIL'S
01:51:03PM PLEASURE TO FIND THE VIOLATION BUT NOT SUSPEND.
01:51:05PM IF THEY WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THAT OR ALLOW COUNCIL TO
01:51:08PM CONSIDER THAT MOTION.
01:51:09PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: MR. SHELBY.
01:51:12PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: MISS JOHNSON-VELEZ, YOU CAN SAY IF YOU
01:51:17PM AGREE WITH THIS.
01:51:18PM MAYBE BEST FOR MR. COTTON TO READ THE NAMES IN THE GREEN.
01:51:22PM AND THEN THERE WOULD BE A MOTION THAT MOVES BOTH OF THOSE.
01:51:27PM FIRST PART LISTING ALL THE RESTAURANTS.
01:51:30PM AND THEN THE SECOND PARAGRAPH SO THAT THE PUBLIC AND THOSE
01:51:34PM PEOPLE WHO ARE WITHIN THE GREEN, WHEN THEY HEAR THEIR NAME
01:51:39PM CALLED, THEY KNOW THAT MOTION APPLIES TO THEM AND MIGHT NEED
01:51:41PM THE MOVE FOR THEM TO FEEL COMPELLED TO STAND UP AND SPEAK.
01:51:46PM >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: I COMPLETELY AGREE.
01:51:48PM I WANTED COUNCIL TO BE AWARE.
01:51:49PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WE WILL MAKE THE MOTION AND THE SECOND AND
01:51:53PM WITHHOLD THE VOTE SO AT LEAST THEY KNOW WHAT THE MOTION WILL
01:51:56PM BE.
01:51:56PM >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: CORRECT.
01:51:57PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
01:51:59PM >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: YOU ARE WELCOME.

01:54:30PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU, COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
01:54:32PM DID YOU WANT TO TALK?
01:54:35PM DID YOU WANT TO READ THIS?
01:54:36PM >>LYNN HURTAK: YEAH.
01:54:37PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: READ THE MOTION.

01:54:43PM >>LYNN HURTAK: I DON'T THINK WE HAVE TO LIST THEM AGAIN.
01:54:44PM HE JUST LISTED THEM.
01:54:45PM HE SAID -- HE SAID THAT WE COULD.
01:54:50PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: YOU CAN INCORPORATE THE LIST THAT WAS JUST
01:54:53PM RECITED INTO THE RECORD BY MR. COTTON.
01:54:56PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: PERFECT.
01:54:57PM MAKES IT SWEET AND SIMPLE.
01:55:00PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: BEING THAT THE NAMED RESTAURANTS AND
01:55:02PM THEIR ADDRESSES ARE IN COMPLIANCE, LATE BUT IN COMPLIANCE,
01:55:07PM I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION.
01:55:09PM I MOVE TO FIND THE FOLLOWING ESTABLISHMENTS IN VIOLATION OF
01:55:12PM SECTION 27-319 OF THE CITY OF TAMPA CODE FOR FAILURE TO
01:55:16PM TIMELY FILE THE REQUIRED DOCUMENTS FOR THE CITY AS MR.
01:55:19PM COTTON HAS ALREADY LISTED.
01:55:21PM ALL THOSE RESTAURANTS WERE LATE BUT IN COMPLIANCE.
01:55:25PM IN LIGHT OF THE FACT THAT THESE ESTABLISHMENTS HAVE FULL
01:55:28PM COMPLIANCE WITH THE CODE REQUIREMENT PRIOR TO THE PUBLIC
01:55:30PM HEARING THAT CITY COUNCIL WILL NOT SUSPEND THEIR ALCOHOLIC
01:55:33PM BEVERAGE PERMITS.
01:55:34PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: MOTION FROM COUNCIL MEMBER MANISCALCO.
01:55:36PM SECOND FROM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
01:55:37PM COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA?
01:55:40PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: MAY I ASK ONE THING.
01:55:41PM TWO RESTAURANTS WITH THE SAME ADDRESS.
01:55:43PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THEY ARE IN THE SAME PLAZA.
01:55:58PM >>ERIC COTTON: THE SAME PLAZA, YES.
01:56:01PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: YOU KNOW THE SOUTH TAMPA PEOPLE.
01:56:03PM I KNEW ERIC DIDN'T KNOW HOW YOU PRONOUNCE THOSE NAMES
01:56:06PM BECAUSE HE'S NOT A SOUTH TAMPA PERSON.
01:56:08PM ANYBODY IN THE PUBLIC WHO WISHES TO SPEAK ON ANY ONE OF THE
01:56:11PM RESTAURANTS THAT WERE LISTED IN THIS COMPLAINT?
01:56:16PM YES, SIR.
01:56:16PM COME TO THE DAIS.
01:56:18PM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK, YOU HAVE SOMETHING?
01:56:22PM >>LYNN HURTAK: I HAVE A QUESTION FOR STAFF ONCE HE IS
01:56:25PM FINISHED.
01:56:25PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COME TO THE PODIUM.
01:56:29PM STATE YOUR NAME, AND IF YOU NEED IT, YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES.
01:56:31PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: IF HE CAN, STATE THE NAME OF THE COMPANY,
01:56:34PM THE RESTAURANT, AND THE ADDRESS.
01:56:37PM >> YES, SIR.
01:56:37PM RICHARD HORELL.
01:56:39PM I REPRESENT HAIKU TAMPA AT 812 NORTH FRANKLIN.
01:56:44PM OUR ADDRESS HAS BEEN INCONSISTENTLY RECORDED ON SEVERAL
01:56:49PM DIFFERENT DOCUMENTS FOR OUR COMPANY.
01:56:51PM WE ARE ACTUALLY 812, NOT 808.
01:56:54PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WE WILL REFLECT IT AS 812.
01:56:59PM >> I WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE HAD THAT CLEAR.
01:57:01PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU.
01:57:02PM ANYONE ELSE IN THE PUBLIC WHO WISHES TO SPEAK?
01:57:05PM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
01:57:05PM >>LYNN HURTAK: I HAD A QUESTION FOR STAFF.
01:57:09PM >>ERIC COTTON: YES, MA'AM.
01:57:13PM >>LYNN HURTAK: I WANT TO MAKE SURE ANYONE THAT IS HERE THAT
01:57:16PM IS A GREEN RESTAURANT.
01:57:17PM WHAT IT SAYS WE ARE FINDING THEM -- WE DID FIND THEM IN
01:57:21PM VIOLATION.
01:57:22PM DOES THAT MEAN THEY STILL OWE THE $100?
01:57:25PM >>ERIC COTTON: NO, MA'AM, THEY ARE IN COMPLIANCE NOW.
01:57:27PM THEY DID NOT FILE WITHIN THAT FIRST MONTH OF THE --
01:57:30PM >>LYNN HURTAK: I JUST WANTED FOLKS TO UNDERSTAND THEY DON'T
01:57:33PM OWE ANYTHING.
01:57:33PM >>ERIC COTTON: THEY PAID -- THEY PAID THEIR LATE FEE.
01:57:38PM >>LYNN HURTAK: OH, THEY DID.
01:57:40PM >>ERIC COTTON: PAID THEIR LATE FEE AND SUBMITTED TWO
01:57:43PM REQUIRED DOCUMENTS.
01:57:44PM >>LYNN HURTAK: LIKE I SAID, I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE
01:57:46PM PUBLIC UNDERSTOOD THAT.
01:57:47PM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
01:57:48PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WE HAVE A MOTION.
01:57:49PM MR. SHELBY?
01:57:51PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: I AM WONDERING IF IT IS APPROPRIATE TO TALK
01:57:53PM OF WHAT THAT AFFECT IS?
01:57:55PM BECAUSE THE GOAL IS COMPLIANCE.
01:57:56PM WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT YEAR IF SHE CHOOSE TO NOT FILE TIMELY --
01:58:02PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I THINK THEY ALREADY ADDRESSED THAT.
01:58:04PM >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ, LEGAL
01:58:06PM DEPARTMENT.
01:58:07PM FINDING OF VIOLATION 27-318 CARRIES A MAXIMUM SUSPENSION OF
01:58:12PM UP TO 30 DAYS.
01:58:13PM SECOND VIOLATION CARRIES WITH IT A POSSIBLE SUSPENSION OF UP
01:58:16PM TO 60 DAYS.
01:58:17PM AND A THIRD VIOLATION -- YOU KNOW A COMPOUNDING.
01:58:20PM ALSO, I BELIEVE THE LATE FEE NEXT -- FOR A SECOND FAILURE TO
01:58:25PM TIMELY FILE YOUR REPORT IS $500 AND NOT $100.
01:58:29PM >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU.
01:58:30PM >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: YOU ARE WELCOME.
01:58:32PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: MOTION ON THE FLOOR FROM COUNCIL MEMBER
01:58:35PM MANISCALCO.
01:58:35PM A SECOND FROM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
01:58:36PM DOES THIS REQUIRE A ROLL CALL OR A VOICE VOTE?
01:58:42PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: VOICE VOTE WILL BE FINE.
01:58:43PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
01:58:45PM OPPOSED?
01:58:46PM THE AYES HAVE IT UNANIMOUSLY.
01:58:48PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: SO DID YOU WANT TO RELEASE THOSE WHO ARE IN
01:58:53PM COMPLIANCE, MR. CHAIR, IF THEY --
01:58:55PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I SAW A HAND.
01:58:57PM DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION?
01:58:58PM IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION, YOU WOULD HAVE TO COME TO THE DAIS,
01:59:01PM PLEASE.
01:59:01PM IF YOU ARE ONE OF THESE RESTAURANTS THAT WERE LISTED THAT WE
01:59:06PM JUST VOTED ON, YOU ARE NO LONGER REQUIRED TO STAY HERE.
01:59:09PM YOU WOULDN'T BE PART OF THE BUSINESS.
01:59:13PM >> I AM TRANSLATING FOR MY MOM.
01:59:15PM SHE IS THE -- SORRY.
01:59:17PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION?
01:59:58PM >> THEY DON'T SPEAK ENGLISH.
02:00:00PM >> WE JUST GOT THE LETTER FOR CRAZY BURRITO ON WEST COLUMBUS
02:00:08PM DRIVE.
02:00:08PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: WHAT WAS THAT AGAIN, I AM SORRY?
02:00:12PM >> SHE WASN'T SURE.
02:00:13PM DO WE NEED TO SUBMIT THE DOCUMENTS?
02:00:16PM 2506.
02:00:20PM >>ERIC COTTON: YOU ARE GOOD.
02:00:23PM IT ALREADY HAS BEEN SUBMITTED TO THE CITY.
02:00:25PM WE HAVE A COPY OF IT.
02:00:26PM >> THANK YOU, GUYS, SORRY.
02:00:28PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: BYE-BYE.
02:00:30PM OKAY, VERY GOOD.
02:00:31PM I LIKE IT WHEN THEY ARE EASY.
02:00:34PM VERY GOOD.
02:00:34PM MR. COTTON.
02:00:35PM >>ERIC COTTON: ERIC COTTON, LAND DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
02:00:41PM THE NEXT LIST YOU ARE GOING TO COME ACROSS ARE THE ONES
02:00:44PM HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW.
02:00:45PM THESE ARE THE INDIVIDUALS THAT -- INDIVIDUAL ESTABLISHMENTS
02:00:47PM THAT HAVE COME INTO PARTIAL COMPLIANCE.
02:00:50PM SOME OF THEM HAVE SUBMITTED THE REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION BUT
02:00:53PM NOT THE LATE FEE.
02:00:53PM THEY SUBMITTED THE LATE FEE BUT NOT THE DOCUMENTATION OR
02:00:57PM PARTIAL DOCUMENTATION AND THE LATE FEE.
02:00:59PM FOR THOSE, STAFF IS RECOMMENDING A SEVEN-DAY SUSPENSION,
02:01:03PM BUT, AGAIN, UP TO CITY COUNCIL'S DISCRETION ON -- ON YOUR
02:01:07PM ACTION.
02:01:07PM I AM GOING TO DO THE SAME THING AND GO THROUGH THE NAMES AND
02:01:10PM THE BUSINESS NAMES AND THE ADDRESS.
02:01:11PM CRAVE RESTAURANT AND LOUNGE -- YES, SIR?
02:01:17PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: HELPFUL TO IDENTIFY WHAT THE VIOLATION IS
02:01:19PM IF THEY ARE LATE IN THE FEE OR -- IS THAT HELPFUL?
02:01:22PM >>ERIC COTTON: I DON'T HAVE THE INFORMATION IN FRONT OF ME
02:01:24PM FOR THAT.
02:01:25PM I APOLOGIZE.
02:01:26PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THAT'S GOOD.
02:01:27PM >>ERIC COTTON: CRAVE RESTAURANT AND LOUNGE, 2001 EAST FOWLER.

02:02:13PM EBBE AT 1202 NORTH FRANKLIN.

02:02:22PM THOSE, AGAIN, HAVE COME INTO PARTIAL COMPLIANCE AND
02:02:25PM SUBMITTED SOME OF DOCUMENTATION OR PAID THE FEES BUT NOT IN
02:02:28PM FULL COMPLIANCE YET.
02:02:29PM >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ, LEGAL
02:02:33PM DEPARTMENT.
02:02:33PM BECAUSE THE REASONS FOR NOT COMING INTO FULL COMPLIANCE MAY
02:02:38PM DIFFER, I SUGGEST THAT COUNCIL TAKE EACH OF THESE
02:02:40PM INDIVIDUALLY AND PERHAPS CALL EACH RESTAURANT UP
02:02:43PM INDIVIDUALLY AND THEN THE MOTION I PROVIDED ON YOUR SAMPLE
02:02:46PM MOTION SHEET IS THE ONE THAT GOT THE YELLOW HIGHLIGHTING ON
02:02:49PM IT.
02:02:49PM I TRIED TO DO YELLOW LETTERING, BUT IT WAS HARD TO READ.
02:02:52PM THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT YOU CAN USE FOR THESE PARTICULAR
02:02:58PM ONES.
02:02:58PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WITHOUT THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE
02:03:02PM VIOLATION --
02:03:10PM >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: VIOLATION IS THE SAME.
02:03:11PM THE VIOLATION THAT THEY FAILED TO TIMELY --
02:03:15PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THE PENALTY.
02:03:16PM WE HAVE TO WEIGH OUT THE GRAVITY OF THE SITUATION.
02:03:18PM >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: APPROPRIATE TO ASK THEM IF THEY PAID
02:03:22PM THE FEE.
02:03:23PM SUBMITTED THE REPORTS.
02:03:24PM WHAT ASPECTS THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO COMPLY WITH OR HAVE NOT
02:03:27PM COMPLIED WITH.
02:03:28PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: OKAY, THANK YOU.

02:03:35PM REPRESENTATIVE HERE FOR CRAVE RESTAURANT & BAR AT 2001
02:03:39PM EAST FOWLER AVENUE?
02:03:42PM NO?
02:03:43PM OKAY.
02:03:43PM SHOULD WE ACT ON THEM ONE AT A TIME?
02:03:50PM IS THERE A REPRESENTATIVE FROM CASA MEXICANA BAR AND GRILL,
02:03:54PM 3642 WEST GANDY?
02:04:07PM GOOD AFTERNOON.
02:04:08PM >> HI.
02:04:09PM GOOD AFTERNOON.
02:04:10PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: START WITH YOUR NAME FIRST PLEASE.
02:04:13PM I AM ASSUMING SHE DOES NOT SPEAK ENGLISH.
02:04:16PM >> YEAH, SHE IS NOT REALLY GOOD AT IT.
02:04:18PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: STATE YOUR NAME AND YOU CAN STATE HER
02:04:21PM NAME.
02:04:21PM >> MY NAME IS SIRIA VELASQUE,Z AND MY MOM WHO IS THE OWNER OF
02:04:28PM CASA MEXICANA.
02:04:29PM WE DID RECEIVE THE NOTICE.
02:04:31PM AND I DID -- I AM THE ONE THAT IS ALWAYS IN CHARGE OF
02:04:34PM SENDING THE PAPERS.
02:04:35PM I DID NOTICE THAT I SUBMITTED THE PAPER LATE DUE TO OUR --
02:04:39PM OUR ACCOUNTING NOT SUBMITTING IT FAST FOR US.
02:04:42PM BUT THEY SAID THAT WE HAVE TO PAY A FEE.
02:04:44PM I DID NOT PAY A FEE.
02:04:46PM I NEVER RECEIVED A LETTER ABOUT THE FEE.
02:04:48PM I KNOW IN OUR PLAZA, WE GET MIXED UP SOMETIMES.
02:04:51PM I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WAS THE CASE.
02:04:52PM I DON'T KNOW ABOUT NO FEE.
02:04:54PM ALAN CLENDENIN: OKAY.
02:04:56PM OTHER THAN THAT, THE ONLY VIOLATION.
02:04:59PM SUBMITTED THE LETTER BUT DID NOT GET A NOTIFICATION OF A
02:05:04PM FEE.
02:05:04PM >> NO.
02:05:05PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: STAFF, HOW DO WE CONFIRM THAT -- IS IT A
02:05:08PM RESTAURANT OWNER.
02:05:09PM HOW DO THEY KNOW ABOUT THIS LATE FEE?
02:05:11PM >> I KNOW FROM -- WHEN I RECEIVED THE COURT LETTER, THEY
02:05:14PM MADE ME SIGN, AND I SPECIFICALLY SIGNED FOR THAT COURT WHEN I
02:05:17PM RECEIVED THE SPECIFIC LETTERS, BUT I NEVER RECEIVED THE
02:05:22PM PAPER.
02:05:22PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: IF YOU CAN SCOOT OVER AND LET HIM SPEAK.
02:05:27PM >>ERIC COTTON: ERIC COTTON, LAND DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
02:05:30PM WE SEND OUT CERTIFICATE OF MAIL.
02:05:32PM NOT CERTIFIED.
02:05:33PM IT IS ALLOWED IN THE CODE AND LITTLE LESS EXPENSIVE FOR THE
02:05:37PM CITY TO SEND IT OUT THAT WAY.
02:05:39PM CODE REQUIRES THIS INFORMATION TO BE DONE, AND WE HAVE THAT
02:05:42PM EXTRA FOLLOW FOLLOW-UP.
02:05:43PM WE WOULD SEND OUT A CERTIFICATE OF MAIL TO THE ADDRESS ON
02:05:49PM FILE IN OUR SYSTEM.
02:05:51PM WHAT HAPPENS TO IT ONCE IT LEAVES THE OFFICE AND THE MAIL --
02:05:54PM AND THE U.S. POSTAL SERVICE GETS A HOLD OF IT, I CAN'T
02:05:58PM ANSWER THAT QUESTION, BUT WE DID SEND OUT THE LETTER TO THE
02:06:01PM -- TO THE INDIVIDUALS.
02:06:02PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: OKAY.
02:06:04PM >>ERIC COTTON: YES, IT IS IN THE CODE.
02:06:10PM REQUIREMENTS ARE IN THE CODE.
02:06:11PM I UNDERSTAND WHAT SHE IS SAYING SHE DIDN'T RECEIVE IT.
02:06:15PM BUT IT WAS SENT OUT.
02:06:16PM EVERYBODY ON THE LIST RECEIVED -- BASED ON INFORMATION WHEN
02:06:20PM THEY GOT THEIR ALCOHOL APPROVED TO THE CITY, THAT IS THE
02:06:23PM ADDRESS WE SEND IT TO.
02:06:25PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I AM ASSUMING THAT WE SHOULD DEAL WITH
02:06:28PM THESE ONE AT A TIME THEN.
02:06:30PM ANYBODY ON COUNCIL WHO WISHES TO MAKE A MOTION ON THE FINDINGS
02:06:35PM IN THIS CASE?
02:06:38PM ANYBODY ELSE IN THE PUBLIC TO WISHES TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM?
02:06:47PM IT'S A PUBLIC HEARING.
02:06:48PM >>BILL CARLSON: THEY STILL HAVE TO PAY, RIGHT?
02:06:52PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THAT IS OUR DETERMINATION.
02:06:53PM >>ERIC COTTON: ERIC COTTON, LAND DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
02:06:57PM MR. CARLSON, THAT'S CORRECT.
02:06:59PM THEY HAVE TO PAY THE $100 FEE.
02:07:01PM >>BILL CARLSON: WHATEVER MOTION WE MAKE WILL BE SUBJECT TO
02:07:03PM PAYING THE FEE.
02:07:04PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THAT WILL HAVE TO BE INCLUDED IN COUNCIL'S
02:07:07PM MOTION.
02:07:07PM WHO WOULD LIKE TO DO THIS?
02:07:12PM >>LYNN HURTAK: SO MISS JOHNSON-VELEZ, QUICK QUESTION.
02:07:15PM APOLOGIES TO THE RESTAURANTS.
02:07:17PM WE HAVEN'T DONE THIS IN A WHILE.
02:07:19PM SO COULD WE SAY -- COULD WE PUT -- COULD WE SAY IF WE DON'T
02:07:29PM RECEIVE THE $100 BY --
02:07:36PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: CLOSE OF BUSINESS NEXT FRIDAY.
02:07:40PM >>LYNN HURTAK: TRYING TO THINK OF THE DATE.
02:07:41PM THE THIRD -- I AM SORRY THE 12th.
02:07:45PM I AM WAY AHEAD.
02:07:46PM I APOLOGIZE.
02:07:47PM IF WE DON'T RECEIVE IT BY FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 4 P.M., THAT
02:07:51PM WE THEN HAVE A SEVEN-DAY -- THEN THAT'S WHEN IT KICKS IN.
02:07:56PM SOMETHING THAT WE CAN DO?
02:07:57PM >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: CERTAINLY.
02:07:58PM >>LYNN HURTAK: THAT WAY WE ALLOW THEM TO HAVE THE
02:08:01PM OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT.
02:08:02PM BUT IF THEY DON'T COME IN BY THAT 4:00 OR 5:00 --
02:08:08PM WHATEVER YOU ALL RECOMMEND.
02:08:09PM IF YOU THINK EARLIER IN THE DAY WILL BE BETTER.
02:08:12PM >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: CLOSE OF BUSINESS.
02:08:14PM >>LYNN HURTAK: CLOSE OF BUSINESS ON FRIDAY OR CLOSE OF
02:08:16PM BUSINESS ON THURSDAY SO YOU KNOW SO YOU CAN NOTIFY THEM?
02:08:20PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: LET'S DO --
02:08:24PM >>ERIC COTTON: EITHER ONE.
02:08:25PM ERIC COTTON, LAND DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
02:08:28PM EITHER DATE IS FINE.
02:08:29PM BECAUSE WHAT WILL HAPPEN AFTER THIS, IF THEY NEGLECTED TO
02:08:32PM PAY THE FEE, THAT MONDAY WE WILL POST ON THE PROPERTY AND SEND
02:08:37PM OUT A CERTIFIED MAIL TELLING THEM THEY ARE SUSPENDED.
02:08:39PM >>LYNN HURTAK: WOULD GO FROM MONDAY, NOT FROM SATURDAY.
02:08:41PM EXCELLENT.
02:08:42PM LET'S DO THAT.
02:08:43PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I HAVE A QUESTION REAL QUICK.
02:08:45PM THESE RESTAURANTS, DOCUMENTATION THIS IS THEIR FIRST
02:08:50PM VIOLATION, RIGHT?
02:08:52PM >>ERIC COTTON: YOU RECALL DURING COVID, THE STATE WAS
02:08:55PM FLEXIBLE WITH RESTAURANTS WHAT THEY CAN DO, SERVE AND WHAT
02:08:57PM THEY CAN SELL.
02:08:58PM TO GO BECAME A THING WITH ALCOHOL, AND YOU COULD GET MARGARITAS
02:09:01PM TO GO AND STUFF.
02:09:02PM SO WE DIDN'T.
02:09:05PM STILL GETTING THE PEOPLE REPORTING, BUT WEREN'T BRINGING THEM
02:09:08PM BACK TO CITY COUNCIL.
02:09:09PM SO MAKE -- TO ME, TO MAKE IT IN ALL FAIRNESS TO PEOPLE

02:09:37PM THE CITY OF TAMPA CODE FOR FAILURE TO FILE THE REQUIRED
02:09:41PM DOCUMENTS FOR THE CITY.
02:09:42PM IN LIGHT OF THE ACTION TAKEN BY THE VIOLATOR TO CORRECT THE

02:11:35PM LIANG'S BISTRO AT 17515 BRUCE B. DOWNS.
02:11:55PM >> GOOD AFTERNOON.
02:11:57PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: SO WHY ARE YOU HERE?
02:11:59PM WHAT IS YOUR NONCOMPLIANCE?
02:12:03PM START WITH YOUR NAME, PLEASE.
02:12:04PM >> SORRY, FIRST NAME IS LINDA.
02:12:06PM LAST NAME IS LIANG.
02:12:08PM I AM THE OWNER OF THE RESTAURANT.
02:12:10PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: LIANG'S BISTRO?
02:12:13PM >> YES, SIR.
02:12:13PM I'M HERE BECAUSE THE REPORT WAS FILED LATE.
02:12:18PM AND I NEVER RECEIVED $100 FINE FOR WHATEVER REASON.
02:12:26PM BUT I DID PAY.
02:12:29PM AND I DID SUBMIT A REPORT.
02:12:31PM I CALLED THE PERSON ON THE LETTER, MARLA.
02:12:41PM THE LADY I TALKED TO.
02:12:43PM SHE DIRECTED ME TO SUBMIT A PAYMENT.
02:12:46PM AND THERE IS ANOTHER PAPER I NEED TO NOTARIZE.
02:12:49PM I THINK THE REASON I AM STILL HERE IS BECAUSE ON THE REPORT,
02:12:55PM IT DOESN'T SAY I NEED TO SUBMIT THE AUDIT FROM THE INSURANCE
02:13:01PM AS WELL.
02:13:01PM BUT IF YOU LOOK AT ALL THOSE REPORTS FOR ALL THOSE YEARS,
02:13:06PM OUR ALCOHOL SALES IS ALWAYS LESS THAN 3%.
02:13:10PM LAST YEAR WAS 1%.
02:13:11PM AND NEVER OVER 5%.
02:13:13PM SO THE INSURANCE, THEY NEVER DID AN AUDIT IN THE PAST.
02:13:17PM AND THE REASON THE REPORT WAS LATE WAS BECAUSE -- THERE ARE
02:13:24PM TWO REASONS.
02:13:25PM THE FIRST REASON WAS MY DAD PASSED AWAY ON APRIL 5.
02:13:29PM I HAVE -- I HAVE HIS DEATH CERTIFICATE AS PROOF.
02:13:34PM I WAS FLYING TO NEW YORK BACK AND FORTH, BACK AND FORTH AND
02:13:40PM SLIPPED OUT OF MY MIND.
02:13:41PM THE SECOND REASON IS -- NOT REALLY A REASON, I APOLOGIZE.
02:13:45PM BUT I THOUGHT THAT IT IS DUE MAY 31.
02:13:48PM SO I DID ACTUALLY E-MAIL THE REPORT ON MAY 26, E-MAIL AS
02:13:53PM PROOF.
02:13:54PM NOT REALLY AN EXCUSE.
02:13:55PM BUT KIND OF LIKE, YOU KNOW, WHY.
02:13:58PM BECAUSE I THOUGHT THAT.
02:13:59PM AND ALSO MY DAD PASSED AWAY.
02:14:02PM IT SLIPPED OUT OF MY MIND.
02:14:04PM AND I DON'T KNOW WHY THE $100 FINE IS NOT RECEIVED BECAUSE I
02:14:09PM WAS SO BEHIND ON MY ACCOUNTING.
02:14:11PM I HAVE BEEN FLYING TO NEW YORK ALMOST ONE OR TWO TIMES A
02:14:16PM MONTH TO HELP MY DAD IN THE HOSPITAL WITH A HOME AIDE.
02:14:23PM EVERYTHING BECAUSE HEALTH WENT DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY, AND IT WAS
02:14:27PM GETTING WORSE AND WORSE.
02:14:28PM ALL MY STUFF ARE BEHIND.
02:14:29PM I GOT SO MANY LETTERS -- SO MANY LETTERS TO OPEN AFTER I
02:14:34PM CAME BACK.
02:14:34PM THEY MIGHT BE IN THE PILE, WHATEVER.
02:14:36PM IT COULD ACCIDENTALLY HAVE BEEN MIXED WITH SOMETHING ELSE.
02:14:41PM BUT I NEVER SEEN IT, AND I APOLOGIZE.
02:14:43PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: JUST TO BE CLEAR.
02:14:45PM IN YOUR OPINION, THE ONLY REASON YOU ARE NOT IN COMPLIANCE
02:14:48PM AS OF THIS DATE IS THAT THE CITY IS SAYING THEY HAVE NOT
02:14:51PM RECEIVED YOUR $100, IS THAT CORRECT?
02:14:53PM >> NO, I DID PAY $100.
02:14:55PM I DID PAY.
02:14:56PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THEN JUST THE -- THE AUDIT THAT THEY ARE
02:15:01PM MISSING?
02:15:02PM >> YEAH, SAYS AUDIT, IN THE PAST, I NEVER SUBMITTED AN
02:15:06PM AUDIT.
02:15:06PM I DON'T KNOW -- AND MY ALCOHOL SALES WERE LOW, SO THEY NEVER
02:15:11PM DID AN AUDIT ANYWAY.
02:15:13PM ALAN CLENDENIN: LET'S HEAR FROM MR. COTTON IF YOU CAN STEP
02:15:17PM ASIDE.
02:15:17PM >>ERIC COTTON: ERIC COTTON, LAND DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
02:15:21PM THOSE INDIVIDUALS WHO -- DON'T HAVE INSURANCE FOR THE
02:15:24PM ESTABLISHMENT OR FOR THE ALCOHOL COVERAGE OR DON'T DO THE
02:15:27PM AUDIT, WE SUGGEST THEM TO GIVE A NOTARIZED STATEMENT SAYING
02:15:31PM I DON'T HAVE AN INSURANCE AUDIT, AND WE TAKE THAT FOR WHAT IT
02:15:34PM IS WORTH.
02:15:35PM IF -- THAT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN COMMUNICATED TO HER.
02:15:39PM WE HAVE -- IF YOU ARE AWARE, THE STAFF IS RELATIVELY NEW TO
02:15:43PM WHAT WE ARE DOING HERE.
02:15:44PM SO THAT IS PROBABLY -- PROBABLY WHAT HAPPENED.
02:15:47PM AND THEY NEVER INFORMED HER SHE COULD JUST PROVIDE HER WITH
02:15:51PM A STATEMENT.
02:15:51PM SHE CAN STILL DO THAT AGAIN MUCH SIMILAR TO THE PEOPLE THAT
02:15:55PM WERE STILL UP.
02:15:56PM >>LYNN HURTAK: WE CAN DO THIS MOTION AND GIVE HER UNTIL NEXT
02:15:59PM FRIDAY TO PROVIDE THAT NOTARIZED INFORMATION.
02:16:01PM WILL THAT WORK FOR YOU?
02:16:04PM >> YES, MA'AM.
02:16:04PM DO I JUST PUT IT ON THE -- BECAUSE I -- I HAVE THE REPORT
02:16:08PM HERE.
02:16:08PM DO I PUT IT RIGHT HERE?
02:16:10PM BECAUSE I DID SUBMIT THIS --
02:16:13PM >>LYNN HURTAK: IF WE CAN GET THROUGH THIS PART, THEN THE TWO
02:16:15PM OF YOU CAN GO OUTSIDE AND FIGURE OUT HOW TO SUBMIT THAT.
02:16:18PM DOES THAT WORK?
02:16:21PM >> YES, MA'AM.

02:20:00PM LETTERHEAD OR SOMETHING STATING THAT OUR INSURANCE DIDN'T DO
02:20:04PM AN AUDIT.
02:20:04PM AND SO THAT WAS KIND OF CONFUSING.

02:20:13PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I THINK YOU HEARD FROM STAFF IN THE LAST

02:20:53PM >>ERIC COTTON: ERIC COTTON, LAND DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.

02:29:31PM THE DEPARTMENT RECORDS AND THE DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS
02:29:34PM REGULATION AND SUN BIZ RECORDS.

02:30:01PM WE HAVE CODE ENFORCEMENT STAFF ON THE CITY TO POST IT AND
02:30:05PM TAKE A PHOTO TO ENSURE THAT THE PERSON HAS BEEN NOTIFIED.
02:30:08PM >>LYNN HURTAK: I THINK THAT IS REASONABLE.

02:34:13PM 2025 THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2025 THEY SHOULD HAVE FILED.
02:34:16PM IT IS THE LANDLORD'S RESPONSIBILITY, BECAUSE THE ALCOHOL

02:34:21PM BUSINESS OWNER WHEN WE SENT OUT THE NOTICE OF SUSPENSION.
02:34:31PM WENT TO THE BUSINESS OWNER, THE OWNER OF THE AB
02:34:34PM ESTABLISHMENT, LICENSE AND THE PROPERTY OWNER.

02:38:12PM OF TAMPA CODE FOR FAILURE TO TIMELY FILE THE REQUIRED

02:39:16PM HOW ABOUT JOHNNY C.'S ITALIAN RESTAURANT?
02:39:21PM CHAMPION PIZZA?
02:39:28PM ARE YOU WITH CHAMPION PIZZA?
02:39:31PM >> MY NAME IS SEKON HALL.
02:39:34PM I AM THE PROPERTY OWNER OF THAT RESTAURANT.
02:39:37PM OKAY, SO MY FORMER TENANT FAILED TO RENEW, I THINK THIS
02:39:43PM LICENSE OR PERMIT, WHATEVER EARLIER THIS YEAR.
02:39:47PM THAT IS WHY I RECEIVED A HEARING NOTICE.
02:39:52PM SO I CAME UP HERE, AND ANYTHING I CAN SOLVE, ANYTHING I NEED
02:39:57PM TO MAKE UP OR -- WANT TO KNOW ABOUT WHAT IS THE CAUSE.
02:40:02PM THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED.
02:40:11PM I LEARNED A LOT HERE.
02:40:13PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: PROPERTY OWNER OR TENANT?
02:40:15PM >> PROPERTY OWNER.
02:40:16PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: OKAY, SO MR. COTTON, CAN YOU EXPLAIN TO
02:40:22PM COUNCIL HOW YOU THIS -- HOW THIS PROPERTY -- OBVIOUSLY, THE
02:40:25PM TENANT DID NOT FILE THIS PAPERWORK.
02:40:27PM PROPERTY OWNER -- CAN THIS -- IS HE ABLE TO RESOLVE THIS
02:40:31PM ISSUE FOR A TENANT THAT IS NO LONGER THERE?
02:40:39PM >> THE TENANT WAS EVICTED.
02:40:41PM >>ERIC COTTON: SIMILAR ONES ARE EXPECTED TO GET IT.
02:40:46PM THAT IS UP TO COUNCIL'S DISCRETION.
02:40:48PM IF THEY CAN'T PROVIDE THE INFORMATION DUE TO YOU WHATEVER
02:40:52PM REASON.
02:40:52PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: PUT THAT ON -- SEE THE PROJECTOR.
02:40:56PM PUT THAT ON THERE FOR US.
02:40:57PM >>ERIC COTTON: UP TO COUNCIL'S DISCRETION.
02:41:01PM IS IT A VIOLATION, YES, BECAUSE THE BUSINESS THAT WAS THERE
02:41:03PM WOULD HAVE BEEN REQUIRED TO SUBMIT THE DOCUMENTATION.
02:41:05PM I MEAN, THAT'S I AM NOT SURE --
02:41:13PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: IF WE DIDN'T WANT TO VIOLATE BECAUSE OF
02:41:15PM THE EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES, WHAT WOULD BE THE CITY'S
02:41:19PM POSITION ON THIS?
02:41:21PM WHAT WOULD BE STATUS OF THAT.?
02:41:30PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: ACHIEVED FULL COMPLIANCE?
02:41:33PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: BUT THERE IS NO BUSINESS.
02:41:34PM >>LYNN HURTAK: I DON'T KNOW HOW HE CAN --
02:41:37PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: LET HIM ANSWER THE QUESTION.
02:41:39PM >>ERIC COTTON: I DIDN'T HEAR YOUR QUESTION.
02:41:40PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THE BUSINESS IS NO LONGER -- IT WAS
02:41:44PM EVICTED FROM THE PREMISE.
02:41:46PM THIS IS THE PROPERTY OWNER.
02:41:48PM HOW DO WE, AS THE CITY -- IF WE DON'T WANT TO FINE THE
02:41:52PM PROPERTY OWNER IN VIOLATION, HOW DO WE AS A CITY, HOW DO YOU
02:41:57PM WE CLOSE THIS UP?
02:41:59PM >>ERIC COTTON: I WOULD IMAGINE THAT THE COUNCIL COULD MAKE A
02:42:02PM MOTION NOT TO FIND A VIOLATION AND WOULD BE THE END OF THE
02:42:04PM SITUATION FOR HIM.
02:42:05PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: BURDEN OF THE NEXT TENANT TO MAKE SURE TO FILE
02:42:14PM IT TIMELY.
02:42:15PM >>LYNN HURTAK: THANKFUL THAT YOU BROUGHT THE FINAL NOTICE OF
02:42:19PM EVICTION BECAUSE IT MAKES US EASIER.

02:42:53PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: I WOULD SUGGEST UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES
02:42:55PM PROVIDED BY CITY COUNCIL THAT YOU FIND UNDER THE CITY CODE
02:42:58PM THAT THE GENTLEMAN APPEARING AND HIS BUSINESS AS LANDLORD IS
02:43:03PM NOT IN VIOLATION.
02:43:04PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: OKAY, ALL RIGHT.

02:43:17PM LONGER IN BUSINESS, HAS BEEN EVICTED FROM THE PREMISE
02:43:17PM IS NOT IN VIOLATION,
02:43:25PM AND THEREFORE, THERE ARE NO FURTHER SANCTIONS NEEDED BECAUSE
02:43:30PM OF THE GENTLEMAN HERE, AND THEY HAVE NOT HAVE THEIR ALCOHOLIC
02:43:33PM BEVERAGE PERMIT SUSPENDED.
02:43:35PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: PROPERTY OWNER.

02:44:17PM WE WERE WAITING FOR THE INSURANCE AUDIT SO SUBMITTED ALL OF
02:44:20PM THAT YESTERDAY AND PAID THE FEE.
02:44:21PM SO WE SHOULD BE IN COMPLIANCE, BUT HE TOOK THE LIST ON

02:44:27PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: STATE YOUR NAME AS WELL.
02:44:30PM >>I'M JEFF BOYD, AND I AM ONE OF THE OTHER OWNERS.
02:44:32PM I WANTED TO JUST APOLOGIZE.
02:44:34PM SOUNDS LIKE A LOT OF THIS IS CONFUSION ON WHAT WAS
02:44:36PM SUPPOSED TO BE DONE.
02:44:38PM WE HAVE A RESTAURANT IN WESLEY CHAPEL, AND IT IS DONE
02:44:43PM DIFFERENTLY THERE, AND SO THIS IS KIND OF NEW TO US UNTIL
02:44:45PM -- I DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH SEEKING -- LIKE A
02:44:48PM REGULAR MAIL, BUT WE DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS UNTIL WE GOT
02:44:52PM THE CERTIFIED LETTER OF WHICH WE STARTED TO ACT IMMEDIATELY

02:46:40PM SEEING NONE.
02:46:41PM MELTING POT SOCIAL, RUMORED TO BE CLOSED.
02:46:44PM >>LYNN HURTAK: MIGHT BE A PROPERTY OWNER.
02:46:47PM >> MY NAME IS JULIE, AND I'M THE ACCOUNTING CONTROLLER OF
02:46:54PM THE MELTING POT RESTAURANT WHERE MELTING POT SOCIAL WAS A
02:46:58PM NEW CONCEPT WE HAVE.
02:46:59PM WE DID CLOSE THAT RESTAURANT IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR.
02:47:02PM WE WERE REPORTING OUR SALES AND ACTIVITIES TO THE LANDLORD.
02:47:06PM I DON'T RECALL SEEING A NOTICE OF AN OUTSTANDING REPORT OR A
02:47:10PM PENALTY.
02:47:11PM SO WE JUST WANTED TO HAVE ME APPEAR TODAY TO SEE WHAT WE
02:47:16PM NEEDED TO DO CLOSE OUT THE MATTER.
02:47:18PM LIQUOR LICENSE WILL NO LONGER BE UTILIZED.
02:47:21PM AS I MENTIONED THE RESTAURANT IS CLOSED.
02:47:24PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: YOU HAVE SEEN WHAT HAPPENED WITH THESE
02:47:26PM PREVIOUS CASES.
02:47:26PM WILL YOU ABLE TO BE IN COMPLIANCE BY NEXT FRIDAY THE 12th?
02:47:29PM >> ABSOLUTELY.
02:47:30PM I AM NOT SURE WHAT WE NEED TO DO TO BE COMPLIANT.
02:47:33PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: AFTER THIS MOTION, HE CAN TAKE YOU OUT.
02:47:39PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: IT IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT, IF I CAN.
02:47:42PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: IS IT?
02:47:44PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: BECAUSE THEY ARE CLOSED.
02:47:47PM >> WE CLOSED IN MARCH.
02:47:48PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: DIFFERENT THAN THE ONE EVICTED.
02:47:51PM >>ERIC COTTON: ERIC COTTON, AND I THINK IT IS A LITTLE
02:47:53PM BIT DIFFERENT THAN THE EVICTED ONE JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE
02:47:56PM COMPLETELY GONE.
02:47:56PM AND IN THIS CASE, THERE IS A REPRESENTATIVE THAT HAS
02:48:00PM DOCUMENTATION FOR JANUARY, FEBRUARY, AND MARCH.
02:48:03PM THAT DOCUMENTATION CAN BE SUBMITTED TO THE CITY, AS WELL
02:48:06PM AS THE COMMERCIAL AUDIT.
02:48:08PM YES, MA'AM, YOU HAVE A QUESTION?
02:48:10PM >>LYNN HURTAK: YES, BECAUSE THIS IS FOR LAST YEAR.
02:48:12PM IF THEY CLOSED OF MARCH OF THIS YEAR, WOULD YOU ALSO LIKE
02:48:16PM ALL 15 MONTHS?
02:48:18PM >>ERIC COTTON: YES, TO SUBMIT FROM ALL OF 2024 --
02:48:22PM >>LYNN HURTAK: PLUS THESE THREE MONTHS.
02:48:25PM >>ERIC COTTON: NEXT YEAR SUBMITTING FOR THE SHORT PERIOD OF
02:48:28PM TIME THEY WERE OPEN HERE.
02:48:29PM THIS WILL BE FROM JANUARY 1 THROUGH DECEMBER 31,
02:48:34PM 2024.
02:48:36PM >>LYNN HURTAK: DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?
02:48:38PM >> IT DOES BUT I HAVEN'T SEEN A NOTICE.
02:48:41PM WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO RESOLVE IT?
02:48:43PM >>LYNN HURTAK: BUT YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE CHATTING WITH HIM
02:48:47PM OUTSIDE AND GET EVERYTHING DONE BY THE 15TH.
02:48:49PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: MARTIN SHELBY, CITY COUNCIL ATTORNEY.
02:48:56PM ONLY COMPLICATION, THERE IS NOTHING TO POST AND NOTHING TO
02:48:59PM SUSPEND BASED ON THE REPRESENTATION.
02:49:05PM >>ERIC COTTON: ERIC COTTON, LAND DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
02:49:09PM EVEN THOUGH FAILURE OF THE ESTABLISHMENT, THE PROPERTY STILL
02:49:10PM GETS POSTED.
02:49:12PM SUSPENSION WOULD EFFECT THE PROPERTY ALSO.
02:49:15PM SO IT IS NOT JUST THE BUSINESS BEING SUSPENDED.
02:49:19PM ANY SALES FROM THAT PROPERTY.
02:49:21PM EVEN IF THEY CHANGE -- IF ANOTHER BUSINESS MOVED IN TOMORROW,
02:49:25PM AND THEY WERE SUSPENDED, THEY WOULD BE SUSPENDED.
02:49:27PM >>LYNN HURTAK: SO WHAT DO WE DO?
02:49:34PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I THINK WE SHOULD PROBABLY NEEDS TO BE.
02:49:44PM SIMILAR TO THE ONE WE DID WITH THE EVICTION BUT STILL DEMAND
02:49:49PM COMPLIANCE DOING THE FILINGS.
02:49:50PM HOW DO WE DO THAT?
02:49:52PM >>LYNN HURTAK: I THINK WE JUST SAY, WE ASKED THAT THEY BE IN
02:49:57PM COMPLIANCE BY FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12.
02:49:59PM KIND OF NOTHING ELSE WE CAN DO.
02:50:01PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: AND THEN TAKE IT.
02:50:04PM THEY HAVE AN OVERRIDING CORPORATION.
02:50:06PM ARE YOU ABLE TO GET THESE DOCUMENTS TO US BY NEXT FRIDAY?
02:50:10PM >> YES, I CAN RUN SALES.
02:50:12PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: MR. COTTON WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE YOU OUT.
02:50:16PM >>BILL CARLSON: CAN I --
02:50:17PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
02:50:19PM >>BILL CARLSON: MR. COTTON, IN A CASE LIKE THIS BECAUSE THE
02:50:23PM LICENSE GOES WITH THE PROPERTY, THE -- IS THERE SOME KIND OF
02:50:28PM -- IF THAT THE RESTAURANT NEEDS TO GIVE TO YOU, SAY,
02:50:32PM THEY ARE NO LONGER OCCUPYING THAT PROPERTY ANYMORE?
02:50:35PM >>ERIC COTTON: THAT IS THE HARD THING ABOUT ALCOHOL.
02:50:37PM AND THERE ARE CASES WHERE A BUSINESS WILL BE OPEN THE FIRST
02:50:46PM THREE MONTHS OF THE YEAR, AND THEY THEN CLOSE AND WILL
02:50:51PM REQUIRED IF THE BUSINESS CLOSES AND THE TENANT USES EXISTING
02:51:00PM LICENSE.
02:51:00PM WE ARE NOT AWARE OF THE CHANGE IN THE BUSINESS OWNERSHIP.
02:51:03PM SO THAT IS THE HARD PART AS SUSAN WAS SAYING AT THE BEGINNING.
02:51:08PM THEY WENT THROUGH A LOT OF WORK TO TRUE UP THE
02:51:10PM DOCUMENTATION.
02:51:11PM BECAUSE THAT IS JUST THE ODD THING ABOUT ALCOHOL IS WE
02:51:18PM REGULATE AT THE LOCAL LEVEL AND LICENSE COMES FROM THE STATE
02:51:22PM AND DOES NOT REQUIRE A NEW SIGN FOR US.
02:51:26PM WE DON'T HAVE THE CHANGE OF BUSINESS.
02:51:30PM >>BILL CARLSON: THIS WEIGHS WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO.
02:51:31PM BECAUSE THEY ARE A COMPANY THAT HAS A LOT MORE OUTLETS.
02:51:37PM COMING HERE FOR REPUTATION BECAUSE THAT WAS PROBABLY A
02:51:40PM SEPARATE BUSINESS AND AFFECTS THE LANDOWNER.
02:51:43PM COULD BE ANOTHER SITUATION WHERE SOMEBODY IS CLOSED DOWN
02:51:45PM THEY WOULDN'T SHOW UP, BUT THE LANDOWNER DOES OR MAYBE
02:51:49PM NEITHER ONE.
02:51:50PM >>ERIC COTTON: SORRY TO INTERRUPT.
02:51:51PM I WAS GOING TO SAY BUT THE NOTICE FOR THIS HEARING WENT OUT
02:51:55PM TO THE PROPERTY OWNER AS WELL.
02:51:57PM THEY HAD THE EVICTION, AND HE IS THE ONE THAT SHOWED UP AND
02:52:01PM HE GOT THE NOTICE SAYING THAT HIS LICENSE WILL BE SUSPENDED.
02:52:05PM WHOEVER COMES, HE WANTS THEM TO COME IN AND OPERATE AND
02:52:09PM SELL.
02:52:09PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I AM COMFORTABLE WITH OUR PREVIOUS
02:52:13PM DECISION HOW WE MOVE THIS FORWARD, IF YOU ALL ARE.
02:52:15PM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK, I WILL LEAVE IT UP FOR TO YOU READ.
02:52:18PM >>LYNN HURTAK: I DON'T MOVE TO FIND THEM IN VIOLATION.
02:52:27PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: SORRY, MARTIN SHELBY.
02:52:29PM MY RECOMMENDATION IS TO HANDLE IT LIKE YOU DID WITH THE EVICTION.
02:52:35PM >>LYNN HURTAK: I WILL LEAVE THAT TO MR. MANISCALCO, HE DID THAT
02:52:38PM NICELY.
02:52:38PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE
02:52:41PM NOT FIND THE MELTING POT SOCIAL IN VIOLATION AT 160 WEST
02:52:46PM TYLER STREET.
02:52:47PM AND THAT'S IT.
02:52:48PM >>LYNN HURTAK: SECOND.
02:52:50PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THEY WILL SUBMIT THE REQUIRED FINE AND
02:52:54PM DOCUMENTATION BY FRIDAY FEBRUARY 12, 2025.
02:53:04PM >>LYNN HURTAK: AT 5 P.M.
02:53:06PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: PAY THE $100 FINE BY 5 P.M. AND SUBMIT
02:53:09PM THE PAPERWORK BY SEPTEMBER 12, 2025.
02:53:12PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCIL MEMBER
02:53:15PM MANISCALCO.
02:53:15PM SECOND FROM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
02:53:17PM ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
02:53:18PM OPPOSED?
02:53:20PM AYES HAVE IT UNANIMOUSLY.
02:53:22PM OKAY, VERY GOOD.
02:53:23PM NEXT IS CICCIO CALI TAMPA PALMS.
02:53:30PM MR. MICHELINI.
02:53:35PM >> I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT WE RESOLVED AND PAID THE
02:53:40PM FINE AND REQUIRED THE DOCUMENT.
02:53:42PM ALSO, I HAVE WATER + FLOUR.
02:53:43PM HERE IS WHAT OUR ISSUE WAS.
02:53:45PM WE HAD EIGHT DIFFERENT RESTAURANT NOTICES GOING TO ONE
02:53:50PM LOCATION.
02:53:50PM AND THEY THOUGHT THEY HAD FILED THE DOCUMENTS BUT NOT
02:53:54PM LOOKING AT THE INDIVIDUAL ADDRESSES.
02:53:55PM SO WE CERTAINLY CAN GET THAT RESOLVED BY NEXT FRIDAY AND GET
02:54:00PM ALL THE DOCUMENTS IN.
02:54:02PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: SO WE WILL DEAL WITH BOTH WATER + FLOUR.
02:54:05PM >>LYNN HURTAK: I WILL DO THEM SEPARATELY.
02:54:08PM CAN I DO THEM TOGETHER?
02:54:10PM WE CAN DO THEM TOGETHER.
02:54:11PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WE CAN DO THEM TOGETHER.
02:54:13PM STEVE, DID YOU MENTION YOUR NAME?
02:54:17PM >> STEVE MICHELINI.
02:54:17PM I AM REPRESENTING BOTH.
02:54:19PM CICCIO, PALM POINT AND WATER + FLOUR.
02:54:28PM >>LYNN HURTAK: I MOVE TO FIND THAT WATER + FLOUR ITALIAN
02:54:31PM RESTAURANT AT 1015 SOUTH HOWARD AVENUE AND CICCIO CALIFORNIA
02:54:38PM TAMPA PALMS AT 1702 PALM POINT DRIVE IN VIOLATION OF SECTION
02:54:43PM 27-319 OF THE CITY OF TAMPA CODE FOR FAILURE TO TIMELY FILE
02:54:47PM THE REQUIRED DOCUMENTS WITH THE CITY AND IN LIGHT OF ANY
02:54:50PM ACTION -- ACTIONS TAKEN BY THE VIOLATOR TO CORRECT THE
02:54:55PM VIOLATION THAT CITY COUNCIL SUSPEND THE ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE
02:54:58PM PERMIT AS THIS ESTABLISHMENT FOR SEVEN DAYS STARTING AT
02:55:02PM 12:01 A.M. MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 2025 UNTIL THE FINE AND ALL
02:55:11PM DOCUMENTATION DELIVERED TO THE CITY BY FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12,
02:55:15PM 2025 AT 5 P.M.
02:55:16PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: SECOND.
02:55:18PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: A MOTION FROM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
02:55:20PM SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER MANISCALCO.
02:55:22PM ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
02:55:24PM OPPOSED.
02:55:24PM AYES CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
02:55:27PM SANTI'S CAFE HABANA AT SOUTH HABANA AVENUE.
02:55:34PM SANTI'S OF CAFE HABANA.
02:55:37PM OKAY, NOT PRESENT.
02:55:38PM NEXT IS URBAN AIR PARK AT 6250 COMMERCE PINES DRIVE.
02:55:44PM >> HEY, THERE DAWN ROBERTS, DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS FOR URBAN AIR.
02:55:52PM I CAME ON BOARD JUST FOR REFERENCE ON MAY 5 OF THIS YEAR.
02:55:57PM SO I AM KIND OF CLEANING UP ANYTHING THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN
02:56:00PM GOING ON BEFORE I CAME ON-BOARD.
02:56:01PM THIS IS ACCORDING TO THE OWNER THAT THIS THE FIRST TIME HE HAS
02:56:07PM EVER HEARD OF A NOTICE FROM THE CITY ABOUT THE ALCOHOL SALES
02:56:11PM NEEDING TO BE REPORTED.
02:56:12PM SO ON AUGUST 7, THE OWNER, THE LANDLORD AND THE PARK ALL
02:56:19PM RECEIVED THE CERTIFIED LETTERS.
02:56:20PM BUT ACCORDING TO THE LANDLORD AND THE OWNER, NOBODY EVER
02:56:24PM RECEIVED ANYTHING BEFORE AND WOULD NOT HAVE ADDRESS IT EVEN
02:56:27PM IF I WASN'T ON-BOARD YET.
02:56:29PM OWNER SAID WE SHOULD NOT BE LISTED AS A RESTAURANT.
02:56:32PM WE SHOULD BE A FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT CENTER.
02:56:35PM AND THAT -- NOT 51% OF OUR SALES IS FOOD.
02:56:40PM OTHER THAN THAT, I AM NOT SURE.
02:56:45PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: MR. COTTON.
02:56:46PM YOU WILL HAVE TO CLARIFY TO COUNCIL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS
02:56:49PM AND WHAT WE HAVE ON RECORD.
02:56:50PM >>ERIC COTTON: ERIC COTTON, LAND DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
02:56:53PM THE LICENSE THAT THE ESTABLISHMENT RECEIVED BACK IN 2020 WAS
02:56:57PM FOR A SPECIAL RESTAURANT.
02:56:58PM THEY WENT THROUGH ADMINISTRATIVE APPROVAL FOR A SPECIAL RESTAURANT.
02:57:06PM IF THEY ARE NOT MEETING THAT REQUIREMENT, THEY NEED TO COME
02:57:09PM BACK IN AND REAPPLY FOR A SPECIAL USE AB 2 HEARING FOR A
02:57:15PM SMALL OR LARGE VENUE.
02:57:16PM BECAUSE THEY ARE -- THEY ARE NOT A RESTAURANT ANYMORE OR
02:57:22PM WHOMEVER WAS THERE IS BACK IN 2020.
02:57:24PM WHEN THEY MOVED IN, THEY JUST -- YOU KNOW, TOOK OVER THAT
02:57:28PM ALCOHOL LICENSE.
02:57:29PM IF THEY ARE NOT A RESTAURANT THEY NEED TO COME BACK INTO
02:57:32PM CITY COUNCIL AND APPLY FOR A NEW -- NEW ALCOHOL PERMIT AS A
02:57:36PM SMALL OR A LARGE VENUE.
02:57:37PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: FROM A CITY'S FORECAST PERSPECTIVE, HOW DO
02:57:42PM WE RESOLVE THIS IF THE LICENSE IS NOT COVERING THEIR
02:57:46PM OPERATION?
02:57:47PM >>ERIC COTTON: THAT IS A VERY GOOD QUESTION, EXCUSE ME.
02:57:50PM >> FOR YOUR REFERENCE, H.H. GREG BEFORE THIS OWNER BUILT THE
02:57:56PM URBAN AIR.
02:57:57PM >>ERIC COTTON: CAN WE GET CONFIRMATION IF THE ESTABLISHMENT
02:58:09PM IS SELLING ALCOHOL AT THIS POINT?
02:58:11PM >> WE DO.
02:58:11PM WE SELL BEER, WINE, AND, LIKE, SELTZERS.
02:58:21PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COVERED FOR BEER AND WINE NOW OR FULL
02:58:24PM LIQUOR?
02:58:25PM >> RIGHT NOW THEY ARE ESTABLISHED AS A SPECIAL RESTAURANT.
02:58:28PM REGARDLESS, RIGHT NOW THEY ARE -- THEY DON'T HAVE THE
02:58:31PM APPROPRIATE LICENSE TO BE SELLING ALCOHOL AT ALL.
02:58:33PM OR THE PERMIT FROM THE CITY OF TAMPA.
02:58:35PM DON'T KNOW WHAT THEIR STATE LICENSE IS, BUT RIGHT NOW,
02:58:38PM WHAT -- HOW THIS THEY ARE OPERATING IN VIOLATION OF
02:58:40PM THE CITY OF TAMPA CODE.
02:58:42PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THIS IS OUTSIDE THE PARAMETER OF WHAT WE
02:58:46PM ARE TALKING ABOUT TODAY.
02:58:46PM HOW IS THIS NOTICED?
02:58:49PM >>LYNN HURTAK: WHAT DO WE DO?
02:58:52PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I THINK IS AN ATTORNEY QUESTION.
02:58:54PM >>ERIC COTTON: I AM GOOD WITH THAT QUESTION.
02:58:57PM >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ, LEGAL
02:59:00PM DEPARTMENT.
02:59:00PM I MEAN, IT SOUND LIKE -- AGAIN, THEY ARE OPERATING UNDER A
02:59:04PM PRIOR ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE PERMIT THAT WAS APPROVED AS A
02:59:08PM SPECIAL RESTAURANT.
02:59:09PM SPECIAL RESTAURANT IS AN S-1 ADMINISTRATIVE ALCOHOLIC
02:59:16PM BEVERAGE PERMIT AND NOT REQUIRED -- WHEN THEY GOVERNMENT
02:59:20PM GAVE APPROVAL IN 2020, THEY NOT REQUIRED TO COME TO COUNCIL
02:59:24PM AND ESTABLISHES EARLIER CLOSING TIMES.
02:59:25PM PARAMETERS ON OUTDOOR AMPLIFIED SOUND AND SALES WERE ONLY
02:59:30PM ALLOWED IF YOU HAD WHAT USED TO BE CALLED A SRX LICENSE, BUT
02:59:33PM WITH THE STATE, IT IS CALLED A SFS, SPECIAL FOOD SERVICE,
02:59:40PM KIND OF A COMPANION LICENSE TO OUR SPECIAL RESTAURANT THAT
02:59:43PM REQUIRES 51% GROSS SALES FROM FOODS.
02:59:46PM I AM NOT SURE WHERE THE DISCONNECT HAPPENED, BUT ACCORDING
02:59:51PM TO OUR RECORDS, THEY HAVE THIS SPECIAL RESTAURANT.
02:59:54PM SO I THINK MR. COTTON IS CORRECT, THEY NEED TO COME IN AND
02:59:58PM REAPPLY FOR A DIFFERENT TYPE OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE PERMIT.
03:00:01PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: SO WHEN THE CITY IDENTIFIES A COMMERCIAL
03:00:06PM BUSINESS THAT -- IN THIS SITUATION THAT LICENSE OR WHATEVER,
03:00:09PM THE APPROVAL THAT THEY PREVIOUSLY HAD IS NOT IN COMPLIANCE
03:00:13PM WITH THE CURRENT ENVIRONMENT.
03:00:16PM WHAT DOES THE CITY NORMALLY DO IN THIS SITUATION?
03:00:19PM >>ERIC COTTON: ERIC COTTON, LAND DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
03:00:23PM WE INFORM THE BUSINESS OWNER THEY NEED TO APPLY FOR AN AB
03:00:28PM LICENSE TO GET THE CORRECT DESIGNATION.
03:00:33PM RIGHT NOW THEY ARE IN VIOLATION THE CODE.
03:00:35PM THEY ARE NOT OPERATING WITH THE R DESIGNATION.
03:00:38PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: DO WE ALLOW THEM TO CONTINUE TO OPERATE
03:00:42PM UNTIL THEY COME INTO COMPLIANCE?
03:00:45PM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
03:00:46PM >>ERIC COTTON: THAT IS A GOOD QUESTION.
03:00:48PM >>LYNN HURTAK: WHAT I WAS GOING TO RECOMMEND IS KIND OF WHAT
03:00:50PM WE HAVE DONE WITH EVERYBODY ELSE, BUT THEY HAVE UNTIL FRIDAY
03:00:53PM OF NEXT WEEK TO COME IN AND START A CASE.
03:00:55PM BUT IT IS REALLY UP TO YOU ALL.
03:00:59PM I MEAN, THIS IS WHERE WE ARE GOING TO RELY ON YOU AS TO
03:01:03PM WHETHER -- IF THEY ARE NOT OPERATING UNDER A CURRENT CORRECT
03:01:06PM LICENSE, THEN I DON'T KNOW THAT WE CAN EVEN DO THAT, BECAUSE
03:01:09PM THEY -- IT SOUNDS TO ME IF THEY ARE NOT WORKING UNDER THE
03:01:15PM CURRENT CORRECT LICENSE, THEY SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO
03:01:20PM SELL ALCOHOL.
03:01:21PM I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THAT.
03:01:22PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: IF COUNCIL GIVES THEM, LET'S SAY AN EXTRA
03:01:25PM WEEK BEFORE THEY HAVE PUT IN A SUSPENSION, THEN THAT
03:01:29PM WOULD GIVE THEM ENOUGH TIME TO BE ABLE TO COME IN AND -- THE
03:01:33PM QUESTION WOULD BE IF COUNCIL MAKES A MOTION, WOULD THEM
03:01:37PM COMING IN FOR A CHANGE FOR A SU-2 STAY THE SUSPENSION?
03:01:48PM >>ERIC COTTON: THE ALCOHOL PROCESS -- RIGHT NOW, THEY ARE IN
03:01:50PM VIOLATION OF THE CODE, NOT NECESSARILY FOR THE REPORTING BUT
03:01:54PM JUST IN VIOLATION OF THE CODE, BECAUSE HOW THEY ARE OPERATE
03:01:56PM SOMETHING IS NOT COMPLIANCE WITH THEIR APPROVED AB.
03:01:59PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: FROM A PERSPECTIVE, LET'S SAY NOW THAT YOU
03:02:03PM KNOW THAT, WHAT DOES -- IT IS A ZONING VIOLATION, IS THAT
03:02:08PM CORRECT?
03:02:09PM >>ERIC COTTON: A VIOLATION OF THE AB AND CHAPTER 27, YES,
03:02:13PM THAT'S CORRECT.
03:02:13PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: WHAT IS THE PROCESS OF YOU NOTIFYING THEM
03:02:17PM THAT THEY ARE OUT OF COMPLIANCE?
03:02:18PM >>ERIC COTTON: THIS HEARING IS NOW NOTIFICATION.
03:02:21PM WHAT NORMALLY HAPPENS IS THEYWOULD GO FOR A SUSPENSION HEARING
03:02:26PM FOR THE R DESIGNATION BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE THE CORRECT
03:02:29PM CLASSIFICATION BY US.
03:02:31PM THEY ASK THE APPLICANT -- THE QUESTION IS -- I AM NOT SURE
03:02:35PM WHAT LICENSE THEY HAVE FROM THE STATE OF FLORIDA EITHER.
03:02:37PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THIS SOUNDS TO ME AS THOUGH -- THIS
03:02:40PM IS THE FIRST -- THIS IS THE FIRST MOMENT THAT THE CITY
03:02:43PM OF TAMPA BECAME AWARE OF THE POSSIBLE VIOLATION.
03:02:45PM SO IF THIS DIDN'T OCCUR IN THIS CHAMBER, THIS -- WHAT SHOULD
03:02:50PM -- WHAT IS THE NORMAL OPERATING PROCEDURE FOR THE CITY OF
03:02:54PM TAMPA SHOULD BE SOUNDS TO ME LIKE WHAT YOU SAID WOULD START
03:02:57PM THIS PROCESS.
03:02:58PM THIS WILL MAKE THIS ISSUE MOOT.
03:03:00PM AND YOU ALL WILL START FRESH WITH PURSUING THIS LINE OF
03:03:06PM ENFORCEMENT.
03:03:09PM COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA.
03:03:13PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I AM NOT A LAWYER -- NOT THAT THEY ARE AT
03:03:17PM FAULT BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T KNOW.
03:03:19PM IF THEY APPLY IT WILL TAKE MONTHS -- A MONTH OR TWO TO GET
03:03:22PM HERE.
03:03:22PM SO WHAT ARE WE DOING?
03:03:24PM YOU CAN'T -- YOU DO ONE, YOU HAVE TO DO ALL OF THEM.
03:03:27PM THE FIRST CASE THAT I HEARD OF THIS.
03:03:30PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: FIRST TIME THE CITY OF TAMPA BECAME AWARE
03:03:33PM OF THIS POTENTIAL VIOLATION OF CODE.
03:03:35PM SO WHATEVER HAPPENS NORMALLY IS INVISIBLE TO US IN CHAMBER,
03:03:39PM STAFF SHOULD START THERE AS THE STEP ONE OF THAT PROCESS,
03:03:43PM OUTSIDE OF THIS.
03:03:44PM AND THAT WILL -- AND I DON'T HOW WE RECTIFY IN CASE TODAY
03:03:49PM BECAUSE THIS IS KIND OF MOOT.
03:03:50PM COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
03:03:52PM >>BILL CARLSON: JUST SAID A DIFFERENT WAY.
03:03:54PM YOU HAVE ONE REPRESENTATIVE WHO SAID ONE THING AND THAT
03:03:59PM LEADS YOU -- SOME EVIDENCE THAT TOUGH NOW.
03:04:02PM BUT DON'T YOU HAVE TO MAKE AN OFFICIAL DETERMINATION?
03:04:07PM WOULD SOMEBODY, FOR EXAMPLE -- DON'T YOU HAVE A PROCESS FOR
03:04:11PM AN OFFICIAL DETERMINATION IF THEY ARE OUT YOU HAVE
03:04:13PM COMPLIANCE AND MAKE THAT OFFICIAL DETERMINATION BASED ON
03:04:15PM WHAT THE REPRESENTATIVE SAID TODAY?
03:04:18PM >>ERIC COTTON: I THINK -- ERIC COTTON, LAND DEVELOPMENT
03:04:20PM COORDINATION.
03:04:20PM WE CAN MAKE THAT CAN DETERMINATION BASED ON WHAT THE
03:04:24PM REPRESENTATIVE JUST SAID.
03:04:25PM INDICATED THEY ARE NO LONGER A RESTAURANT AND DON'T MEET THE
03:04:29PM 51-49.
03:04:30PM THEY NEED TO COME BACK IN AND GET A NEW LICENSE FROM THE
03:04:34PM CITY TO OPERATE.
03:04:34PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: ALL CAN YOU HAPPEN OUTSIDE OF THE CHAMBER.
03:04:39PM HOW DO YOU WE CLEAR THIS OFF OUR DOCKET TODAY?
03:04:47PM >>ERIC COTTON: THEY ARE IN VIOLATION.
03:04:48PM THE QUESTION COMES UP, WHAT IS THE APPROPRIATE MECHANISM.
03:04:52PM DO YOU SUSPEND THE ALCOHOL LICENSE THAT LEAVES THEM WITHOUT
03:04:55PM THE ABILITY.
03:04:56PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I WANT TO HEAR FROM THE ATTORNEY ON THAT
03:04:58PM ONE.
03:04:59PM >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ, LEGAL
03:05:00PM DEPARTMENT.
03:05:00PM I THINK IT IS -- CERTAINLY WITHIN COUNCIL'S DISCRETION, BUT
03:05:06PM SEEMS IT WILL HAD BEEN APPROPRIATE TO ALLOW THEM A CERTAIN
03:05:08PM AMOUNT OF TIME TO APPLY FOR AND HAVING PROCESSED A NEW AB
03:05:12PM PERMIT APPLICATION.
03:05:14PM I SAY THAT BEING FAMILIAR WITH THAT PROCESS, IT IS GOING TO
03:05:17PM TAKE SOME TIME.
03:05:18PM THEY WILL HAVE TO HAVE A SITE PLAN PREPARED --
03:05:22PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: 90 DAYS.
03:05:24PM >>LYNN HURTAK: AT LEAST.
03:05:25PM >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: SORRY, DID YOU SAY 90 DAYS?
03:05:35PM >>BILL CARLSON: FROM A PROCEDURAL, TO PUT THIS PAST THE DATE
03:05:39PM AND YOU ADMINISTRATIVELY WOULD CANCEL THIS.
03:05:46PM >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: I AM TRYING TO THINK OF WHAT IS THE
03:05:49PM PROCESS FOR THE AB 2.
03:05:51PM >>ERIC COTTON: AB BY THE TIME IS SUBMITTED BY OUR OFFICE, A
03:05:56PM THREE-AND-A-HALF-MONTH PROCESS.
03:05:58PM SOME OF THE DOCUMENTATION THEY MAY ALREADY HAVE GIVEN THE
03:06:02PM FACT IT IS AN EXISTING SITE PLAN ON THE PROPERTY AND AN EXISTING
03:06:06PM LEGAL DESCRIPTION.
03:06:06PM SOME OF THAT MAY BE DONE.
03:06:08PM IN RESPONSE TO MR. -- COUNCIL MEMBER CARLSON, I GUESS THAT
03:06:11PM WOULD BE AN OPTION.
03:06:12PM COUNCIL COULD CONTINUE THIS.
03:06:14PM GIVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME BACK AND REVISIT THIS IF
03:06:17PM THEY ARE NOT IN FRONT OF YOU FOR AN AB PERMIT IN THREE AND A
03:06:23PM HALF OR FOUR MONTHS.
03:06:24PM AT THAT POINT, COUNCIL CAN TAKE THE ACTION TO SUSPEND.
03:06:31PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: FOUR MONTHS WILL BE JANUARY.
03:06:33PM >>ERIC COTTON: ALREADY CLOSE TO THE END OF THE YEAR.
03:06:36PM >>LYNN HURTAK: THE BEGINNING OF JANUARY.
03:06:38PM JANUARY -- WHAT IS TODAY, THE 4th.
03:06:40PM JANUARY 4th.
03:06:41PM >>ERIC COTTON: THE ALCOHOL HEARINGS ARE USUALLY LATER IN THE MONTH,
03:06:49PM THE FOURTH THURSDAY OF THE NIGHT.
03:06:50PM >>LYNN HURTAK: HOW ABOUT THE FIRST OF FEBRUARY.
03:06:53PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I WILL MAKE A MOTION TO CONTINUE --
03:06:57PM >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: SORRY, I WANT TO REMIND COUNCIL,
03:06:59PM YOU DON'T HAVE ALCOHOL BEVERAGE HEARINGS IN NOVEMBER OR
03:07:02PM DECEMBER DUE TO THE THANKSGIVING AND HOLIDAYS.
03:07:05PM USUALLY A BACKLOG IN JANUARY, SO PERHAPS MARCH 1 WILL BE
03:07:11PM JUST TO GIVE THEM THE GREATEST OPPORTUNITY.
03:07:14PM >>LYNN HURTAK: PERFECT.
03:07:16PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
03:07:20PM >>BILL CARLSON: I WAS TRYING TO DO ONE.
03:07:22PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: ALL YOURS, COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
03:07:25PM >>BILL CARLSON: ERIC, THE IDEA IS THAT YOU WILL EITHER
03:07:28PM REPLACE THIS ONE WITH A NEW ONE OR YOU WOULD HAVE CANCELLED
03:07:31PM IT AND SET AN EARLIER DATE.
03:07:33PM SO ANYWAY, I MAKE A MOTION TO CONTINUE TO FEBRUARY 1 --
03:07:39PM MARCH 1.
03:07:40PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: IF YOU COULD YOU --
03:07:43PM >>BILL CARLSON: -- THE URBAN AIR PARK AB-1-20-0000024 AT
03:07:53PM 6250 COMMERCE PALMS DRIVE.
03:07:55PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: WHAT DATE, TIME AND PLACE?
03:07:58PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: EVENING SESSION, MARCH 12, 2026 AT 5:01 P.M.
03:08:04PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: REZONING NIGHT?
03:08:08PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: FEBRUARY 26.

03:08:20PM >>MARTIN SHELBY: DAWN ROBERTS.
03:08:23PM MISS ROBERTS, YOU WILL NOT GET AT THAT NOTICE IN THE MAIL, AND
03:08:28PM I SUGGEST THAT YOU WRITE DOWN TO KNOW THIS IS THE DATE THIS
03:08:30PM IS CONTINUED TO, AND HOPEFULLY BY THEN, YOU WILL ABLE TO HAVE
03:08:35PM RESOLVED IT IN SOME FORM OR FASHION.
03:08:39PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: FEBRUARY 26, 2026, AT 5:01 P.M. IN THESE CHAMBERS.
03:08:43PM >>BILL CARLSON: 315 E. KENNEDY, THIRD FLOOR.
03:08:46PM >>LYNN HURTAK: 33602.
03:08:49PM >>BILL CARLSON: TAMPA, FLORIDA.
03:08:52PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: MOTION TO CONTINUE FROM COUNCILMAN
03:08:54PM CARLSON.
03:08:54PM A SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA.
03:08:56PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: NOT ME.
03:08:57PM I WANT TO TALK AGAINST IT.
03:08:58PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: SECOND FROM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
03:09:04PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I DON'T KNOW THIS YOUNG LADY, AND THEY ARE
03:09:08PM NICE PEOPLE BECAUSE OF HER BEING HERE.
03:09:09PM MY PROBLEM IS ONCE WE KNOW SOMETHING AND DOING NOTHING.
03:09:12PM IF SOMETHING HAPPENS AT THAT THE RESTAURANT OVER THE DRINK, THE
03:09:16PM CITY WILL BE RESPONSIBLE.
03:09:17PM BECAUSE THE LICENSE WAS NOT THERE, AND WE KNEW ABOUT IT.
03:09:20PM I AM JUST SAYING THAT -- I AM NOT A BRIGHT GUY OR ANYTHING
03:09:23PM ELSE, BUT I HAVE BEEN AROUND THE BLOCK A COUPLE OF TIMES.
03:09:26PM WHAT I AM SAYING IS, YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE US RESPONSIBLE
03:09:29PM FOR SOMETHING THEY DID UNKNOWINGLY.
03:09:32PM THAT'S ALL I AM GOING TO SAY.
03:09:34PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN: ANYBODY ELSE?
03:09:35PM >>BILL CARLSON: GET MISS JOHNSON-VELEZ TO WEIGH IN ON THAT.
03:09:38PM MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE STAFF WILL LOOK INTO THAT PARALLEL
03:09:47PM ISSUE.
03:09:49PM >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ: SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ.
03:09:50PM I THINK THIS IS A COMMON REMEDY WHEN SOMEONE CAN'T MEET
03:09:54PM THEIR REPORTING REQUIREMENT BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE 51% OF
03:09:58PM SALES.
03:09:58PM I RECENTLY HAD AN OPERATION IN YBOR CITY THAT CAME BEFORE
03:10:02PM TO YOU TO CHANGE THEIR SPECIAL RESTAURANT CLASSIFICATION TO A
03:10:05PM DIFFERENT TYPE OF PERMIT BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T MEET THAT.
03:10:07PM SO THIS IS A VERY COMMON REMEDY THAT COUNCIL ALLOWS OR THE
03:10:12PM CITY ALLOWS.
