AND 35 IS ESSENTIALLY THE AirBnB RULE, AND THERE'S NO END
IN SIGHT FOR THAT LAWSUIT AND ALSO WITH THE NEW STATE LAW IT

LET'S START WITH THE WRITTEN STAFF
REPORTS.
ITEM NUMBER 38.
9:08:12AM >>LYNN HURTAK:
38 THIS WAS COUNCILWOMAN HENDERSON'S, AND I
SECONDED IT.
IT'S ABOUT THE MONTHLY WRITTEN REPORT ON THE STATUS OF
BUNKER GEAR.
AND THE GREAT NEWS IS ALL THE SECONDARY BUNKER GEAR HAS BEEN
SET OUT EXCEPT FOR 16 FOLKS.
SO I TALKED TO CHIEF TRIPP, AND THIS DOESN'T SEEM TO BE
NECESSARY ANYMORE.
I WOULD LIKE TO RECEIVE AND FILE THIS BUT ALSO TAKE IT OFF

THE AGENDA FOR THE FUTURE.

9:09:15AM >>MARTIN SHELBY:

NOW, IF YOU WISH.
9:09:20AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
RECEIVE AND FILE --
9:09:23AM >>LYNN HURTAK:
ITEM NUMBER 42, IT WAS ALSO, THIS WAS
COUNCILWOMAN HENDERSON'S REALLY BIG PUSH TO ADD TRANSPARENCY
AND ALLOW MORE CATERING OPTIONS AT JULIAN B. LANE AND THEN
EVERYWHERE ELSE AS WELL.

THE WRITTEN REPORT IS VERY GOOD, BUT I ALSO WANTED TO LET
EVERYONE KNOW THAT I'M WORKING WITH MS. WYNN AND
COUNCILWOMAN HENDERSON'S OFFICE TO MOVE THIS FORWARD, AND WE
WILL HAVE A REPORT COMING SOON.
I WILL HAVE A MOTION BY THE END OF TODAY ABOUT WHEN WE'RE
COMING BACK TO TALK ABOUT NEXT STEPS AND HOW WE CAN MAKE
SURE THAT CATERERS KNOW ABOUT THE OPTION.
RIGHT NOW, THERE'S ONLY I BELIEVE 13 CATERERS USING THIS,
MAYBE 16.
WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO PUT IT OUT THERE.
SO I WILL HAVE AN UPDATE ABOUT THAT DURING NEW BUSINESS.
I WANTED TO MAKE SURE I TALKED ABOUT THAT BECAUSE THAT WAS A
VERY IMPORTANT INITIATIVE OF HERS.

WE DO NOT HAVE ADMINISTRATIVE UPDATE.
29 IS PART ONE OF TWO.
SO 29 AND 30.
MR. SHELBY.
9:11:01AM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
THE PARKING TAKES PLACE AT WHAT POINT?
9:11:08AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
WE ADDED AS A STAFF REPORT.
IT IS ANOTHER STAFF REPORT.
29 AND 30.
NO.
WE DO NOT REQUIRE -- NO STAFF.
31.
I'M HEARING NO RESPONSE, SO NO.
WE HAD REQUEST FOR 32 AND 33 TO BE A SEPARATE VOTE.
DO WE NEED STAFF FOR THEM, THOUGH?
9:11:43AM >>BILL CARLSON:
I THOUGHT THEY WERE UNDER CONSENT BECAUSE
THEY WERE SO LOW, BUT WE'LL VOTE ON THEM ANYWAY.
9:11:48AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
DO YOU ALL WANT A REPORT ON THIS?
OR ARE YOU GOOD WITH THE INFORMATION?
32 AND 33.
NO STAFF FOR 32 AND 33.

9:12:46AM >>LUIS VIERA:
THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.
IF THEY EVER MADE AN ACTION FIGURE OF ME AT CITY COUNCIL,
ONE OF MY ACCESSORIES WOULD BE A LOT OF COMMENDATIONS,
APPARENTLY.
WE ARE FIRST GOING WITH OUR -- I HAVE THREE HERE, WITH OUR
POLICE OFFICER OF THE MONTH.
I SAW DR. CHIEF BERCAW WHO IS HERE, WHO WILL COME AND
INTRODUCE THE HONOREE.
9:13:17AM >>CHIEF BERCAW:
GOOD MORNING, COUNCIL.
CHIEF LEE BERCAW.
I'M PLEASED TO PRESENT OUR OFFICER OF THE MONTH.
THE TAMPA POLICE DEPARTMENT IS PROUD TO RECOGNIZE DETECTIVE
NICHOLAS REBETTI AS OUR SEPTEMBER OFFICER OF THE MONTH.
HE'S PROUDLY SERVED THE DEPARTMENT SINCE 2014.

HE'S CURRENTLY ASSIGNED TO OUR HIGH INTENSITY DRUG
TRAFFICKING AREA, ALSO KNOWN AS HIDTA, AND SERVES AS A
FEDERAL TASK FORCE OFFICER FOR THE BUREAU OF ALCOHOL,
TOBACCO AND FIREARMS AND EXPLOSIVES, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS ATF.
DETECTIVE REBETTI WAS THE LEAD INVESTIGATOR IN A MAJOR
FEDERAL RACKETEERING, OR RICO CASE, WHICH RESULTED IN
FEDERAL INDICTMENTS, MULTIPLE STATE ARRESTS, AND THE
SEIZURES OF NARCOTICS, FIREARMS, JEWELRY, AND VEHICLES
TOTALING OVER A HALF A MILLION DOLLARS.
IN ADDITION, HE UNCOVERED A SIGNIFICANT SOUTH TAMPA
NARCOTICS OPERATION REMOVING DANGEROUS DRUGS FROM THE
COMMUNITY, PREVENTING POTENTIAL OVERDOSES, REDUCING
VIOLENCE, AND SIGNIFYING THAT ILLEGAL DRUG DISTRIBUTION IN
THE TAMPA BAY AREA WILL SIMPLY NOT BE TOLERATED.
EARLY THIS YEAR, THE DETECTIVE PLAYED A CRITICAL ROLE IN
ASSISTING THE HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE IN
HELPING TO IDENTIFY AND SECURE THE ARREST OF A SUSPECT IN A
FATAL SHOOTING IN THE CARROLLWOOD AREA.
THIS ACTUALLY LED TO A SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION IN CRIME AND
SAVING LIVES IN THAT AREA.
BECAUSE OF THESE THINGS AND MANY OTHERS AND HIS EXCEPTIONAL
DEDICATION, TIRELESS WORK ETHIC AND OUTSTANDING
INVESTIGATIVE SKILLS AND UNWAVERING COMMITMENT TO REDUCING
CRIME AND MAKING TAMPA SAFER, WE ARE PLEASED TO HONOR HIM AS
OUR OFFICER OF THE MONTH FOR SEPTEMBER 2025.

THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU HAVE DONE.
[ APPLAUSE ]
9:31:42AM >> I THINK I KNOW YOU.
9:31:43AM >> YES, SIR.
9:31:44AM >> STEVE MICHELINI HERE ON BEHALF OF A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT
FOLKS.
LIKE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WHEN TAMPA FIRE RESCUE ARRIVES ON
THE SCENE, THEY ARE RUNNING TOWARD THE CATASTROPHE, NOT AWAY
FROM IT.
THIS GENTLEMAN HAS DEMONSTRATED THAT COUNTLESS TIMES.

WE REALLY APPRECIATE THAT YOU DO THAT.
FORTUNATELY, I HAVEN'T HAD THE NEED FOR ANYTHING LIKE THAT,
BUT I CAN TELL YOU THAT WHEN FAMILY MEMBERS ARE IN DISTRESS,
THESE FOLKS ARE ON THE BALL AND THEY ARE THERE TO HELP.
WE GREATLY APPRECIATE YOUR EFFORTS AND WHAT YOU DO FOR THIS
COMMUNITY.
BEHALF OF JACKSON'S BISTRO ON HARBOUR ISLAND, GIFT
CERTIFICATE FOR YOU FOR LUNCH OR DINNER.
ON BEHALF OF MEAT MARKET OVER IN HYDE PARK, GIFT CERTIFICATE
FOR YOU THERE.
ON BEHALF OF THE DAILY EATS AND THE CICCIO RESTAURANT GROUP
AND ON BEHALF OF THE YUMMY HOUSE CHINA BISTRO, ALL ARE GOING
TO WELCOME YOU AND CONGRATULATE YOU FOR YOUR EFFORTS.
9:32:52AM >> THANK YOU, SIR.
[ APPLAUSE ]
9:32:57AM >>LUIS VIERA:
SIR, ON BEHALF OF A VERY GRATEFUL CITY OF
TAMPA, CHIEF TRIPP'S INTRODUCTION OF YOU WAS JUST WARM AND
ENTHUSIASTIC AND SPEAKING TO THE AMAZING RECORD THAT YOU
HAVE, IT IS A REAL PLEASURE TO HONOR YOU, SIR, FOR ALL OF
YOUR WORK.
THANK YOU, SIR.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK, YOU MAY.
[ APPLAUSE ]
9:33:20AM >> FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU, COUNCIL, FOR HONORING US TODAY.
ALSO, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE STAFF WHO IS HERE IN SUPPORT

OF ME AS WELL.
IT SOUNDS LIKE A WHOLE BUNCH OF STUFF, AND IT IS A LOT.
I'M NOT RETIRING THAT SOON.
[ LAUGHTER ]
I EXTENDED MY DROP, SO YOU HAVE A FEW MORE YEARS TO DEAL
WITH ME.
[ APPLAUSE ]
WITH THAT BEING SAID, REALLY A LOT OF THIS I CAN'T DO IT BY
MYSELF.
IT TAKES A GREAT SUPPORT GROUP IN ORDER TO ACCOMPLISH THAT.
CHIEF TRIPP HAS GIVEN ME THAT OPPORTUNITY.
SEVERAL OF THE OTHER CHIEFS, CHIEF COLINS, CHIEF ALT, A LOT
OF TIMES THEY ASK ME TO TAKE ON PROJECTS AND I'M GLADLY
WILLING TO DO THAT AND GIVE IT MY BEST.
BUT WHAT COMES WITH THAT IS A LITTLE BIT OF SACRIFICE ON MY
FAMILY.
SO I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THEM FOR ALL THEIR SUPPORT THAT
THEY GIVE ME.
[ APPLAUSE ]
LIKE SHE SAID, I DO GET DEPLOYED QUITE FREQUENTLY ON THESE
HURRICANES AND OTHER NATURAL DISASTERS.
A LOT OF TIMES I LEAVE THEM BACK HOME BY THEMSELVES.
ALSO, I COULDN'T DO ALL OF THIS WITHOUT MY SUPPORT AT THE
STATION.
I GOT A TERRIFIC CREW.

MY RIGHT-HAND MAN, MATT KOHAN, RETIRED CHIEF FATHER IS
GETTING AN AWARD AS WELL.
A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT THEY ASKED ME TO DO, I CAN'T DO
THEM BY MYSELF.
I HAVE A WONDERFUL CREW, A WONDERFUL STATION.
CHIEF BAXTER IS MY SHIFT COMMANDER.
AGAIN, A LOT OF THESE THINGS HE HAS TO WORK OUT WITH HIS
SCHEDULE ALONG WITH CHIEF ALT AND CHIEF COLINS.
I KNOW A LOT OF TIMES WHEN THEY SEE MY E-MAIL POP UP OR SEE
ME WALKING THROUGH THE DOOR, THEY ARE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
WHAT THEY HAVE TO ADJUST TO NEXT.
ON BEHALF OF MY FAMILY AND MY CREW, THANK YOU FOR THIS
OPPORTUNITY AND THIS AWARD.
AGAIN, THIS IS A TEAM AWARD I BELIEVE FOR ME, THERE IS A LOT
OF HELP BEHIND THE SCENES.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
[ APPLAUSE ]
9:35:43AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
9:35:44AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
CONGRATULATIONS.
I DON'T THINK I'VE SEEN THIS MANY FIREFIGHTERS IN THESE
CHAMBERS TO HONOR ONE INDIVIDUAL.
YOU'RE CLEARLY VERY, VERY SPECIAL.
YOU HAVE THE GREAT DAVID DITTMAN HERE.
ALEX CANASI.
YOU ARE A BIG DEAL BECAUSE EVERYBODY SHOWED UP TODAY.

THANK YOU FOR MENTIONING YOUR FAMILY BECAUSE EVERY TIME YOU
PUT ON THAT UNIFORM, EVERYTHING THAT YOU'VE DONE, YOU KNOW,
THE SACRIFICES THAT ALL OF YOU MAKE EVERY DAY AND THE
SACRIFICE THAT YOUR FAMILY MAKES, IT'S NOT EASY BECAUSE YOU
ARE GONE A LOT, BUT YOU ARE GONE IN THE SERVICE TO OTHERS
AND THE SERVICE TO THIS COMMUNITY AND ALL OVER THE PLACE.
SO THANK YOU TO THEM BECAUSE I KNOW IT'S A LOT.
BUT THANK YOU TO YOU AND YOUR TEAM FOR ALL THAT YOU DO IN
MAKING US SAFE AND MAKING TAMPA A BETTER PLACE.
THIS IS A VERY SMALL TOKEN OF OUR APPRECIATION, BUT AT LEAST
IT'S SOMETHING.
PEOPLE KNOW THE MAGNITUDE AND THE IMPORTANCE OF WHAT YOU DO
AND WHAT YOU'VE PROVIDED TO THE CITY.
THANK YOU AND CONGRATULATIONS.
[ APPLAUSE ]
9:36:52AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANYTHING THAT I CAN
SAY THAT CHIEF TRIPP HAS SAID OR THAT COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO
JUST SAID.
I THINK THE TURNOUT BEHIND IS YOU SELF-EVIDENT OF THE
RESPECT YOUR PEERS HAVE FOR YOU AND OBVIOUSLY YOUR FAMILY,
TOO.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
ON BEHALF OF A GRATEFUL CITY, APPRECIATE YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS.
THANK YOU.
[ APPLAUSE ]

9:37:15AM >>LUIS VIERA:
OKAY.
FINAL COMMENDATION FOR TODAY, IF I MAY --
9:37:20AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
WE'LL PAUSE FOR A SECOND.
I GUESS THEY'LL STAY.
YOU'RE GOING TO STAY?
VERY GOOD.
LET'S GO.
9:37:26AM >>LUIS VIERA:
JACE, IF YOU WOULD COME UP AND ANN AND MATT.
IT'S MY GREAT PLEASURE, CITY COUNCIL, TO HONOR JACE KOHAN.
WE HAVE HERE HIS WONDERFUL WIFE ANN.
HIS WONDERFUL SON MATT, AND WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE
HERE AS WELL.
WE OBVIOUSLY HAVE CHIEF TRIPP WHO IS HERE TO HONOR OUR
FRIEND JACE KOHAN.
WE HAVE OUR FRIENDS FROM THE TAMPA FIREFIGHTERS CHARITY WHO
ARE HERE, I SEE.
THANK YOU GUYS FOR COMING.
WE HAVE PLANT CITY CHIEF MR. DAVID DITTMAN.
WE HAVE BILL WADE WITH THE RETIREES AND FRIENDS FROM LOCAL
754 WHO ARE HERE.
A LOT OF YOU ALL KNOW JACE KOHAN.
JACE IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE GUYS.
I'LL START TO GET EMOTIONAL.
I CAN'T HELP IT.
I LOVE THIS GUY A LOT.

THERE'S PEOPLE IN LIFE THAT YOU GO, HE'S ONE OF THE
GREATEST.
I PROBABLY HAVE ABOUT 10 OR 15.
HE'S ONE OF THEM.
HE REALLY, REALLY IS.
I'VE KNOWN JACE SINCE 2010.
WE MET AT A BOB BUCKHORN FUND-RAISER THAT MY LAW FIRM WAS
THROWING IN 2010.
AND A BROMANCE IMMEDIATELY STARTED AND WE BECAME FRIENDS.
TRULY IS.
I BECAME FRIENDS WITH A VERY, VERY DECENT PERSON WHO HAS
ALWAYS BEEN A VERY GOOD FRIEND TO ME.
JACE HAS SERVED AS TREASURER FOR LOCAL 754.
THAT'S WHEN I MET HIM, AND HE WOULD GO ON TO BE PROMOTED OR
MOVED, IF YOU WILL, TO BE THE PERSONNEL CHIEF FOR TAMPA FIRE
RESCUE.
HE HAS WORN MANY, MANY HATS.
HE CHAMPIONED CAMP HOPETAKE.
GOT ME INVOLVED IN IT MANY, MANY YEARS AGO.
HE SHOWED GREAT, GREAT COMPASSION, SOMETHING HIS SON MATT
HAS DONE AND MANY OTHERS IN THAT REGARD.
SINCE HE RETIRED, WHAT, EIGHT YEARS --
9:39:17AM >> IN DECEMBER, NINE YEARS.
9:39:19AM >>LUIS VIERA:
NINE YEARS AGO, JACE HAS WORN A LOT OF
INTERESTING HATS THAT PEOPLE FIND VERY INTERESTING.

HE WORKED WITH SCOTT OVER AT A TROPHY SHOP AND NOW HE DRIVES
CARS FOR SALVATION ARMY.
SO A LOT OF PEOPLE FROM TAMPA FIRE RESCUE WILL GET A HONK
FROM A BIG SALVATION ARMY VEHICLE WITH THIS GUY'S SMILING
FACE THERE, JACE KOHAN.
IF YOU TALK TO ANYBODY AT TAMPA FIRE RESCUE WHO WORKED HERE
WHILE HE WAS HERE AND MENTION THE WORDS JACE KOHAN, YOU'RE
GOING TO GET A BIG SMILE BECAUSE HE HAS AN AMAZING
REPUTATION FOR BEING A MAN OF GREAT WARMTH, A MAN OF GREAT
EMPATHY.
HE IS A SECOND GENERATION FIREFIGHTER.
HIS FATHER WAS A FIREFIGHTER IN CHICAGO AND HIS SON, MATT,
IS A FIREFIGHTER LIKE HE IS HERE AT TAMPA FIRE RESCUE.
HE IS A MAN OF VERY FUNDAMENTAL DECENCY AND ALWAYS BEEN MY
GOOD FRIEND.
ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS WHO I LOVE A LOT.
MY GREAT PLEASURE TO COMMEMORATE 40 YEARS SINCE THIS GOOD
AND DECENT MAN STARTED AT TAMPA FIRE RESCUE, A MAN WHOSE
INFLUENCE CONTINUES, APPRECIATED AND REMEMBERED BY ALL HIS
COLLEAGUES WITH GREAT WARMTH AND AFFECTION, MR. JACE KOHAN.
LET'S GIVE HIM A ROUND OF APPLAUSE.
[ APPLAUSE ]
9:40:30AM >> THANK YOU.
I'VE WORKED MANY YEARS WITH YOU, CHIEF TRIPP.
9:40:38AM >>CHIEF TRIPP:
GOOD MORNING, COUNCIL.

CHIEF TRIPP, FIRE CHIEF OF TAMPA FIRE RESCUE.
YES, OF COURSE, NO ONE REALLY KNOWS ABOUT THE HOUSE OF PAIN,
EVEN THOUGH THAT IS THE NAME OF A STATION THAT WE CALL THAT
HAS BEEN MOVED.
BUT THE REAL HOUSE OF PAIN IS WHERE ME AND JACE FIRST MET.
HE WAS THE DRIVER ENGINEER THERE AND IT WAS THE HOUSE OF
PAIN.
LET YOU ALL KNOW.
IT WAS GOOD.
REGARDLESS OF HOW MANY CALLS WE HAD, THE PERSONNEL THAT WAS
THERE JUST MADE EVERYTHING SO SMOOTH.
THAT WAS BACK IN THE DAY WHEN WE WERE RUNNING 15, 20 CALLS A
SHIFT.
JUST TO LET YOU KNOW IT'S BEEN A PLEASURE.
CONGRATULATIONS.
YOU'VE BEEN A GREAT LEADER.
I'VE BEEN WITH YOU WITH CAMP HOPETAKE AS WELL.
JUST APPRECIATE YOU AND CONGRATULATIONS.
9:41:24AM >> THANK YOU.
[ APPLAUSE ]
9:41:29AM >>LUIS VIERA:

SO WE'LL START WITH MR. ALEX CANASI.
COME FORWARD, BUDDY.
9:41:40AM >> GOOD MORNING, COUNCIL.
WE PRESENT THIS LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD TO RETIRED CHIEF

JACE KOHAN.

WELL.
YOU ARE THE INSPIRATION FOR ALL THAT AND FOR MYSELF AS WELL.

WHEN I WAS 18 YEARS OLD, I WAS DOING A RIDE-ALONG AS AN
EXPLORER AND THERE WERE SOME RULES THAT YOU COULDN'T STAY
PAST 10:00.
CAPTAIN KOHAN AT THE TIME SAW THE DRIVE AND HE INSPIRED ME.
WE HAD GOTTEN A LATE RUN AND LET ME STAY JUST PAST 10:00.

YOU'VE BEEN AROUND.
9:45:39AM >> AND I HAVE.

CONGRATULATIONS AND THANK YOU.
9:46:52AM >> CHIEF, AGAIN, CONGRATULATIONS.
LEO GEARY WITH BILL CURRIE FORD.
THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE FOR THE CITY OF TAMPA.
SOUNDS LIKE YOU BUILT A HECK OF A RESUM .
9:47:03AM >> I DID.
I CERTAINLY ENJOYED IT.
NOW I JUST GO TO LUNCHEONS.

[ LAUGHTER ]
9:47:09AM >> ON BEHALF OF BILL CURRIE, A HANDWRITTEN LETTER FROM
JENNIFER CURRY ALONG WITH A GIFT CERTIFICATE INSIDE AND ALSO
A CERTIFICATE FOR FREE MAINTENANCE ON YOUR PERSONAL VEHICLE
AND GOODIES IN THERE AS WELL.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
APPRECIATE YOU.
[ APPLAUSE ]
9:47:28AM >> MR. MICHELINI, I REMEMBER YOU, BUDDY.
ALWAYS GOOD WHEN HE COMES AROUND.
9:47:33AM >> I REMEMBER A MUCH YOUNGER GUY, AND I WAS YOUNGER, TOO.
9:47:38AM >> RIGHT, YOU WERE.
THAT'S RIGHT.
9:47:41AM >> WE'VE GROWN OLDER TOGETHER.
I REMEMBER SEVERAL PRESENTATIONS BY YOU WITH CAMP HOPETAKE
FROM THE EARLIEST DAYS WHEN IT WAS JUST GETTING STARTED.
YOUR DEDICATION IS EXEMPLARY.
AS YOU'VE SAID, IT'S A TEAM EFFORT.
AS I SAID EARLIER, WHEN EVERYONE ELSE IS RUNNING AWAY, YOU
ALL ARE RUNNING FORWARD.
I THINK PEOPLE FORGET THAT.
BUT WHEN YOU PUT THAT UNIFORM ON AND WHEN YOU'RE IN THE
STATION, YOU DON'T EVER KNOW WHAT THAT CALL IS GOING TO BE.
YOU NEVER KNOW.
YOU HAVE TO BE PREPARED.

I'D SAY THAT WE HAVE ONE OF THE BEST CREWS IN THE NATION.
WE HAVE THE BEST PEOPLE, MEN AND WOMEN, AND THE LEADERSHIP
IS GREAT.
SO ANYWAY, I WANT TO GIVE YOU A GIFT CERTIFICATE HERE.
YOU CAN ENJOY YOURSELF OVER AT JACKSON'S, AND YOU CAN ENJOY
YOURSELF AT YUMMY HOUSE.
CONGRATULATIONS.
IT'S BEEN A PLEASURE WORKING WITH YOU.
THANK YOU.
[ APPLAUSE ]
9:48:48AM >>LUIS VIERA:
SO, JACE, ON BEHALF OF A VERY GRATEFUL TAMPA
CITY COUNCIL AND CITY OF TAMPA, FOR 40 YEARS SINCE YOU BEGAN
WITH TAMPA FIRE RESCUE, YOUR FINAL GIFT.
WE APPRECIATE YOU, BUDDY.
9:48:59AM >> THANK YOU.
[ APPLAUSE ]
9:49:08AM >> MY DEAR, DEAR FRIEND.
MY DEAR FRIEND, I'M REAL CLOSE, THE ONLY THING THAT WORRIES
ME WHEN LUIS SPEAKS ABOUT ME, THEY'LL GO OUT, HEY, THAT IS
THE GUY DATING LUIS VIERA WHEN HE TALKS ABOUT A BROMANCE.
OH, NO.
I WOULD BE PROUD TO SAY, YES, I AM.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
YES, I AM.
[ LAUGHTER ]

9:49:35AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I THINK YOU COULD DO BETTER.
9:49:38AM >> I DON'T KNOW HOW MY WIFE FEELS ABOUT THAT.
I KNOW.
AS WE WALK IN TOGETHER TO THE RESTAURANT.
LUIS, THANK YOU.
COUNCIL MEMBERS, THANK YOU.
A FEW PEOPLE THAT WERE INSTRUMENTAL IN MY CAREER, FIRE CHIEF
TOM FORD, FIRE CHIEF DENNIS JONES, MAYOR BOB BUCKHORN.
ALSO, I WANT TO THANK MY WIFE ANN AND MY SON MATTHEW FOR THE
WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT, THE ENCOURAGEMENT AND SUPPORT
THROUGHOUT MY CAREER.
IT'S ON THOSE DAYS, THOSE MORNINGS YOU GET HOME AFTER BEING
UP ALL NIGHT WHERE THAT REALLY HELPS.
CHIEF TRIPP, THANK YOU.
WE HAVE WORKED MANY YEARS TOGETHER IN THAT HOUSE OF PAIN.
THERE WERE SOME ALL-NIGHTERS THERE, WEREN'T THERE?
SOME UNPLEASANT.
I HAD A GREAT CAREER.
I REALLY DID.
PROBABLY THE HIGHLIGHT OF MY CAREER WAS IN 2005 WHEN MY SON
WAS HIRED.
NEVER REALLY WORKED AT THE SAME STATION WITH HIM, BUT THERE
WOULD BE DIFFERENT TIMES WHERE THERE WERE BIGGER FIRES AND I
WOULD SHOW UP, MAN, THERE HE IS.
IT WAS A PLEASURE TO WORK WITH HIM.

2009 WAS ANOTHER HIGHLIGHT WHEN I WAS ELECTED
SECRETARY-TREASURER OF THE UNION.
DURING THAT TIME I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO TRAVEL TO
DIFFERENT CITIES AND MEET WITH DIFFERENT FIREFIGHTERS AND
DISCUSS THEIR ISSUES AND WHAT THEY HAD GOING ON.
SAN DIEGO, DENVER, CINCINNATI, PHILADELPHIA.
EVERY TIME WHEN I RETURNED BACK TO TAMPA, I WOULD REALIZE
THAT, MAN, WE HAVE ONE OF THE BEST DAMN FIRE DEPARTMENTS IN
THIS NATION.
I REALLY MEAN THAT.
IT'S THANKS TO ALL THESE HEROES RIGHT HERE.
THAT'S WHAT MAKES THE TEAM AND THAT'S WHAT GETS THE JOB
DONE.
JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU.
AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, GUYS.
[ APPLAUSE ]
9:51:47AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU.
ON BEHALF OF A GRATEFUL CITY, WE APPRECIATE IT.
IF YOU HAVE A GRANDCHILD, MAYBE ONE DAY COMING BACK IN THE
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
I DON'T KNOW, WE'LL HAVE YOU BACK.
VERY GOOD.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
9:51:58AM >> THANK YOU.
9:52:04AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
WE'LL PAUSE FOR A MOMENT.

DO YOU WANT A BREAK?
OKAY.
MR. SHELBY.
9:54:05AM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
YES, MR. CHAIRMAN.
9:54:07AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
WOULD YOU PLEASE READ THE RULES FOR CITY
COUNCIL, RULES OF PROCEDURE.
9:54:12AM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
THANK YOU, SIR.
GOOD MORNING.

COUNCIL TAKES OFFICIAL ACTION ON AN ITEM.
THOSE WISHING TO SPEAK DURING GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT, WHICH

PLACED IT IN THE BOX OUTSIDE THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS.
ONE CARD PER SPEAKER.
CARDS ARE ACCEPTED UNTIL THE START OF GENERAL PUBLIC
COMMENT.
EACH PERSON SUBMITTING A CARD WILL BE RECOGNIZED BY NAME TO
APPROACH AND SPEAK.
A THREE-MINUTE TIME LIMIT APPLIES.
AS I SAID, PLEASE PRINT LEGIBLY.
NAMES THAT CANNOT BE READ WILL NOT BE CALLED.

NOW, IF YOU ARE HERE TO SPEAK ON SOMETHING ON THE AGENDA
THAT IS LISTED AS A PUBLIC HEARING, THE TIME TO SPEAK TO

ITEMS ARE NOW DURING GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT.
FINALLY, MEMBERS OF COUNCIL, PLEASE REFRAIN FROM ENGAGING A

THAT THE CITY COUNCIL DOES NOT TAKE YOUR QUESTIONS OR HAVE A
DIALOGUE DURING GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT.
THIS IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO EXPRESS YOUR POSITION.
THANK YOU.
9:56:14AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU, MR. SHELBY.
OUR FIRST PUBLIC SPEAKER IS MARTY GREEN FOLLOWED BY

STEPHANIE POYNOR.
9:56:30AM >> GOOD MORNING.
MY NAME IS MARTY GREEN.
I'M WITH THE MOBILITY DEPARTMENT.
I FEEL AS IF I'VE BEEN SET UP TO BE SABOTAGED.
THEREFORE SAYING I WENT TO -- I WAS CALLED TO GO SEE A
PSYCHIATRIST.
OKAY.
NO, IT'S A VIDEO.
I HAVE A VIDEO.
BASICALLY HE'S ASKING ME, WHY I WAS COMING TO SEE CITY
COUNCIL BECAUSE RIGHT NOW, IT DEFINITELY VIOLATE BECAUSE
THEY TRY TO USE HIM TO TERMINATE ME.
AND VIOLATES -- THE CIVIL RIGHTS OF 1981 DISABILITY ACT ON
THE CIVIL RIGHTS DISABILITY ACT.
SO, THEREFORE, SAYING THIS AND SAYING THAT, I AM GETTING
ASKED WHY I'M COMING TO SEE YOU ALL.
THE QUESTION SHOULD BE, WHY IS SOMEBODY WITH THE CITY OF
TAMPA NOTIFYING THE PSYCHIATRIST TO CALL ME TO COME SEE ME?
THEY ARE TRYING TO MAKE IT SEEM LIKE I AM DISGRUNTLED.
I AM NOT DISGRUNTLED.
I AM EXPOSING WHAT SOMEBODY IS SCARED TO EXPOSE.
NOW I WANT TO SAY THIS, I KEEP GETTING THREATS ABOUT GETTING
WRITTEN UP ABOUT IF I EXPOSE THIS.
WELL, I'LL GO AHEAD AND EXPOSE IT.

I FEEL LIKE NIKE, LET'S DO IT.
I FEEL LIKE BEETLE JUICE.
SHOW TIME.
I SEE STEPHANIE POYNOR TALK ABOUT NORTH TAMPA.
WHAT HAPPENED TO NORTH TAMPA?
WAS WHY WAS FLOODED?
NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT THAT.
IT WAS FLOODED BECAUSE OF NEGLIGENCE ON THE CITY.
YOU'RE PUTTING PEOPLE IN PLACE THAT YOU'RE SHOWING
FAVORITISM TO.
THAT PERSON, A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T DESERVE THE JOBS THAT
THEY HAVE BECAUSE IT'S FAVORITISM.
UNDER THE CITY, UNDER THE AGREEMENT THAT THE BARGAINING UNIT
MADE WITH THE CITY, IT ALSO HAS BEEN IN VIOLATION FOR YEARS.
ARTICLE 34, CITY TRAINING, BRYAN RODGERS SAID HE'S NOT GOING
TO PAY FOR US TO GET TRAINED TO WORK THE GENERATORS, PUMPS.
HE SAYS HE'S REFUSING TO PAY FOR TRAINING.
THEREFORE, UNDER THE ARTICLE, YOU MUST WITH THE CITY OF
TAMPA, IF YOU ASK FOR TRAINING, YOU MUST GIVE TRAINING.
NOW, THAT'S THE REASON WHY IT'S COSTING THE CITY OF TAMPA --
NO, COSTING TAXPAYERS MILLIONS OF DOLLARS BECAUSE THEY
REFUSE TO DO TRAINING.
SAYING THAT TO SAY THIS, IF YOU ARE REFUSING US TO DO
TRAINING, WE NOT GOING TO HAVE A DEPARTMENT.
EVERY DEPARTMENT IS DENIED TRAINING.

IT'S NOT JUST THE MOBILITY DEPARTMENT.
YOU'VE GOT STORMWATER, WASTEWATER.
YOU HAVE PARKS AND REC.
EVERYBODY IS DENIED TRAINING.
BY YOU DENYING TRAINING, THE HURRICANE SEASON IS COMING
RIGHT BACK UP.
GUESS WHAT, WE'LL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.
KNOW WHY?
BECAUSE WE'RE NOT PREPPED, NOT READY.
DENYING US TRAINING IS NOT GETTING US NOWHERE.
SAYING THIS, I MIGHT BE FIRED OR I MIGHT BE WRITTEN UP
BECAUSE I KEEP GETTING THREATS SAYING WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO
DO.
THAT IS ANOTHER THING.
WITH THE SUNSHINE LAW, I'M WAITING FOR THE REQUEST TO COME
AND I'LL COME BACK AND EXPOSE IN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS.
THANK YOU.
9:59:39AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU, MR. GREEN.
STEPHANIE POYNOR FOLLOWED BY PAM CANNELLA.
9:59:47AM >> GOOD MORNING.
STEPHANIE POYNOR.
I'VE GOT A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT THINGS.
I'LL SKIP ALL OVER THE PLACE.
NUMBER ONE, WHY WAS THE ARMY NAVY STORE PROPERTY PUT OUT FOR
REBID?

JUST CURIOUS.
I SAW IT ON Facebook THIS WEEK THAT IT DIDN'T COME.
DID WE NOT GET A GOOD BID?
I DON'T KNOW.
MET MAN HAS APPLIED TO USE THE ROME YARD PROPERTY AGAIN.
WHY DON'T WE HAVE AFFORDABLE HOUSING ON THE PROPERTY?
IT'S STILL A HUGE VACANT LOT.
SULPHUR SPRINGS NEEDS MONEY, OBVIOUSLY.
NOTHING SEEMS TO MOVE FORWARD IN THAT AREA OF THE CITY OR
CERTAIN AREAS OF THE CITY.
NUMBER FOUR, HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD, THERE ARE A BUNCH
OF VACANCIES ON THAT BOARD.
HAS ANYBODY APPROACHED LINDA SAUL-SENA ABOUT SEEING IF
ANYBODY ON THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COUNCIL, WHATEVER IT
IS, ROUNDTABLE THAT -- MEET LIKE ONCE OR MONTH.
10 OR 15 PEOPLE WHO SHOW UP EVERY MONTH.
MAYBE THEY MIGHT WANT TO BE ON THE BOARD.
NUMBER 37, I THINK WE NEED TO LOOK AT THE LDC AND AT LEAST
GET SOME LITTLE PREVIEWS OR HINTS OR SOMETHING.
I DON'T WANT TO BE STANDING HERE SIX MONTHS FROM NOW GOING
HOLY CRAP, THEY DID ALL THIS WORK, AND WE'RE NOT HAPPY ABOUT
IT.
BECAUSE GUESS WHAT, UNLIKE THE PLANNING COMMISSION, WHO WE
DON'T HAVE TO PAY MORE MONEY TO FIX IT, WE'LL HAVE TO PAY
THAT VENDOR MORE MONEY TO FIX IT.

LET'S GO AHEAD AND GET SOME KIND OF FRAMEWORK GOING NOW THAT
IS AT LEAST PRESENTED TO THE STAKEHOLDER COMMITTEE SO THAT
THEY CAN LOOK AT IT AND SAY, YEAH, THIS IS GOOD.
THIS SUCKS, WHATEVER.
BY WITHHOLDING EVERYTHING UNTIL THE VERY END, WE'LL HAVE A
BIGGER REWRITE PROCESS THAN WE CAN POSSIBLY DEAL WITH ALL AT
ONCE.
WE END UP WITH THE SAME THING WE HAVE JUST DONE FOR THE COMP
PLAN WITH THE LDC.
I REALLY THINK WE NEED TO LOOK AT THAT.
I WANT TO REMIND YOU THAT THE FEES THAT WE HAVE TO LOOK AT
FOR THE CITY, NOW, THESE ARE DEVELOPMENT FEES.
THESE ARE NOT FEES FOR THE REGULAR CITIZENS WHO GET UP IN
THE MORNING AND GO TO WORK AND COME HOME.
THEY HAVE TO BE CHANGED BY DECEMBER 31st.
DON'T LET PEOPLE DRAG THEIR BUTTS ON THE CARPET ABOUT
GETTING THE STUFF DONE.
OTHERWISE, IT WILL TAKE US YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS TO GET
CAUGHT UP.
WE OPERATE CURRENTLY WHERE THE CITIZENS ME, YOU, EVERYBODY
IN HERE WHO LIVES IN THE CITY OF TAMPA, IS SUPPLEMENTING FOR
OTHER PEOPLE TO GET THEIR NEW HOUSES.
WHY SHOULD I AS A TAXPAYER PAY THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT
IT COSTS THE CITY TO DO SOMETHING AND WHAT THE DEVELOPERS
ARE ACTUALLY PAYING.

IF IT COSTS A HUNDRED DOLLARS TO DO IT, WHY ARE THEY ONLY
PAYING $20 AND THE CITIZENS OF TAMPA PAYING 80?
THAT'S A PROBLEM FOR ME.
I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T LET THAT GET PUSHED BACK
AND PUSHED BACK AND PUSHED BACK.
WE'VE GOT STUFF ON THE AGENDA THAT'S BEEN THERE FOR TWO,
THREE, FOUR YEARS.
LIKE THE MOBILITY STUDY.
THE FIRST NUMBERS CAME OUT IN SEPTEMBER OF 2023.
HERE WE ARE TWO YEARS LATER, WE STILL HAVEN'T HAD IT
PRESENTED TO YOU GUYS.
THANK YOU.
10:02:49AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU.
NEXT SPEAKER IS PAM CANNELLA FOLLOWED BY ASHLEY MORROW.
10:02:58AM >> CAN THIS BE TAKEN DOWN?
IT'S SO BIG.
10:03:07AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
ON THE TOP OF THE WOLF IS THE WHEEL.
ROTATE IT ONE WAY OR THE OTHER AND IT WILL SHRINK DOWN.
10:03:16AM >> I WANT IT SMALLER BECAUSE IT'S TOO BIG.
TOO MAGNIFYING.
I WANT TO ZOOM OUT.
I LIKE THE NATURAL.
10:03:24AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
START WITH YOUR NAME AND YOU HAVE THREE
MINUTES.
10:03:27AM >> OKAY.

GOOD MORNING, ALL.
MY NAME IS PAM CANNELLA.
I WANT TO GIVE MANHATTAN THE PROPER ATTENTION IT NEEDS.
FLOODING HAS OCCURRED ON THAT STREET FOR AS FAR BACK AS I
CAN REMEMBER.
IT STILL FLOODS TODAY.
THAT IS A '24 PICTURE.
HERE IS NOW IN '25.
IN 2015 AND 2016, THEY DID A VASCONIA OUTFALL PROJECT.
IT WAS AN EXTENSIVE SYSTEM OF SIX BY FIVE BOX CULVERTS, ALL
THE WAY DOWN VASCONIA TO THE OUTFALL AT WESTSHORE.
AND SURROUNDING STREETS WERE ALSO INVOLVED WITH THE PIPE
REPLACEMENT.
MANHATTAN AT EL PRADO, INCLUDING SEVILLA, SHAMROCK, THEY HAD
RC PIPES.
HUBERT HAD ERC PIPES, 25 BY 38 PIPES AND CONCRETE BOX
CULVERTS WERE PUT IN.
ALONG EL PRADO TO HUBERT, 19 BY 13 EPC, AND THAT IS
ELLIPTICAL CONCRETE PIPES.
IN 2018, THERE WAS AN INTERVIEW BY A RESIDENT WHO RECENTLY
PURCHASED A HOME THINKING FLOODING PROBLEM HAD BEEN SOLVED.
NO WAY.
IT WASN'T.
IT FLOODED.
INTERVIEW WITH JEAN DUNCAN QUOTED AS SAYING THE MAJOR

DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENT THAT WAS NOT FINISHED.
IN OTHER WORDS, THAT IMPROVEMENT THAT THEY DID IN 2015-16
WAS NOT FINISHED, EVEN THOUGH THEY DID ALL THAT.
THE EXISTING SYSTEM WAS BLOCKED ACCORDING TO FEDERAL
GUIDELINES.
THAT IS WHY IT DIDN'T WORK AND IT FLOODED.
SO IN 2018 AND 19, THEY GAVE $251 MILLION GOING INTO FIXING
TAMPA'S STORMWATER TROUBLES.
IT SAYS FIXING.
NOTHING HAS BEEN FIXED.
NOW WE CHANGE THAT WORDING TO SAYING, WELL, WE'LL HELP.
WE HAVE AN $11 MILLION PROJECT GOING DOWN 2018 AND '19.
THAT GOES ALL THE WAY DOWN MANHATTAN.
REPLACING ALL THE TYPES AND SIDE STREETS.
TWO MILES OF NEW PIPE ALONG MANHATTAN AVENUE WILL DRAIN.
ESTIMATED 500 ACRES OF TAMPA.
THE PROJECT ALONG MANHATTAN FROM EL PRADO TO BAY TO BAY
BRANCHES OFF TO OTHER STREETS INCLUDING LAMB AND LAMB CANAL.
RECONSTRUCTION, REINFORCED CONCRETE PIPES, A LOT OF
EXTENSION -- EXTENSIVE WORK.
MANHATTAN PROJECT 2025 NOW IS DOING THE SAME PROJECT AGAIN.
I PUT THIS LIST ON LAST NIGHT.
IT IS THE SAME PIPES.
I WENT THROUGH THEM ALL, THAT ARE BEING REPLACED.
MY QUESTION IS, HOW IS THIS 2025 MANHATTAN PROJECT GOING TO

FIX THE FLOODING WHEN THE OTHER PROJECTS HAVE NOT?
10:06:41AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU, PAM.
ASHLEY MORROW FOLLOWED BY STEPHEN MICHELINI.
GOOD MORNING, ASHLEY.
10:06:56AM >> GOOD MORNING.
MY NAME IS ASHLEY MORROW.
I WILL BE SHARING TAMPA'S BLACK HISTORY.
I WENT TO A FEW I THINK ABOUT TEN BLACK HISTORY MUSEUMS ALL
OVER THE U.S. IN THE FALL OF LAST YEAR.
I REALLY DIDN'T SEE TAMPA ON THE MAP.
WHY AREN'T WE ON THESE MAPS?
LITERALLY, WE ARE ON THE MAP BUT NOT A PART OF THE STORY.
BUT WE ARE A PART OF THE GRAND STORY OF THE U.S. HISTORY,
ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO THE SEMINOLE WARS IN THE
1800s.
I PUT THIS UP ON THE SCREEN BECAUSE NOTICE, THIS IS TALKING
ABOUT THE INCORPORATION HISTORY.
IF YOU GO TO THE TAMPA HISTORY PAGE ON THE WEBSITE AS WELL,
YOU SEE THIS BIG GAP.
1824, COLONEL BROOK COMES AND 1849, WE SKIP THE WHOLE
SEMINOLE WAR ERA AND THE THINGS THAT HAPPENED IN TAMPA WHERE
I TALKED TO YOU GUYS LAST WEEK ABOUT THE IMMIGRATION CAMPS.
I WANTED TO SHOW YOU GUYS THIS.
I'LL SKIP TO IT BECAUSE I'VE GOT TO GET ALONG.
MY PARKING IS UP.

YOU SEE THAT THESE ARE THE BLACK SEMINOLES.
I WOULD LOVE FOR YOU ALL TO GO RESEARCH THEM, ALONG WITH THE
PEOPLE THAT THEY INTERPRETED FOR AS FAR AS THE MAIN SEMINOLE
CHARACTERS HERE IN FLORIDA.
AND ALL OF THEM, NOT THESE TWO.
HE WAS KILLED AND I BELIEVE HE WAS KILLED, THESE THREE CAME
THROUGH TAMPA FROM FORT PIPE IN NEW ORLEANS.
I THINK SOME TEACHERS ARE WATCHING THIS.
HAVE YOUR STUDENTS GO RESEARCH THESE BLACK SEMINOLES THAT
DEFINITELY HAD A BIG IMPACT IN THE SEMINOLE WAR.
BEN BRUNO HERE, HE WAS ONE OF THE SEMINOLES THAT WAS TAKEN
OVER TO NEW ORLEANS.
THE HARPER WEEKLY DID A WRITE-UP ABOUT BILLY BOW LEG AND HIS
SLAVES.
BRUNO WAS VERY WELL DRESSED.
SO THIS WAS OVER IN NEW ORLEANS WHERE I GUESS THEY GOT THE
SKETCH OF HIM.
AND THIS IS IN THE HARPER WEEKLY.
NEW YORK, JUNE 12, 1858 IS WHAT IT WAS CITED.
THERE WAS AN INTERESTING STORY WRITTEN IN THIS BOOK CALLED
THE FLORIDA WAR BY JT SPRAGUE.
ALSO INVOLVED WITH THE FREEMAN -- I'LL GO OVER THAT LATER
WHEN WE GET TO THAT PART OF THE STORY.
BUT THE FLORIDA WAR WAS A VERY INTERESTING BOOK AND IT
INCLUDED LETTERS, INCLUDED STORIES, WHETHER ALL OF THEM WERE

ACTUALLY FACTUAL, SOMETIMES I WONDER, HOW DO YOU KNOW THEY
SAID THAT, SAYING ALL THIS DIALOGUE, BUT HE ALSO INCLUDED
LETTERS TO KIND OF DETAIL THE ACTIONS THAT HAPPENED DURING
THE SEMINOLE WAR.
I THINK THAT BOOK IS VERY TELLING AS FAR AS THE HISTORY OF
WHAT HAPPENED IN TAMPA.
THIS STORY WAS VERY INTERESTING IN THE BOOK.
BASICALLY HIS NAME WAS WILDCAT.
HE WAS TAKEN OVER TO THE INDIAN TERRITORY IN OKLAHOMA.
GETS BROUGHT BACK TO TAMPA BAY AND HE IS ASKED TO BASICALLY
GET THESE MESSENGERS TO GO TALK TO THE DIFFERENT TRIBES AND
TELL THEM TO BRING BACK THEIR PEOPLE TO TAMPA BAY, SO THEY
FIND AN AREA OUTSIDE OF TAMPA BAY JUST A LITTLE BIT.
HE'S TOLD TO BRING THEM BACK OR HE WILL BE HUNG BY THE NECK.
HE GETS ALL OF THE TRIBES TO COME TO TAMPA BAY.
THAT IS MY TIME.
THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH.
10:10:06AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU, ASHLEY.
STEVE MICHELINI FOLLOWED BY MENTESNOT.
10:10:16AM >> GOOD MORNING, COUNCIL.
STEVE MICHELINI.
I THINK THE COUNCIL DESERVES AN HONEST AND FORTH RIGHT
DISCUSSION AND INFORMATION REGARDING STORMWATER,
PARTICULARLY THE SOUTH HOWARD PROJECT.
THIS INCLUDES MAINTENANCE BEFORE CAPITAL PROJECTS.

WHEN NEIGHBORHOODS AND BUSINESSES DO THE RESEARCH, THEY ARE
NOT LYING TO YOU.
THE REPORTS CLEARLY INDICATE THAT MAINTENANCE SHOULD BE
PRECEDED BEFORE CAPITAL PROJECTS.
WHEN WE GO FORWARD WITH THIS, THE INFORMATION THAT WE'RE
SPEAKING ABOUT COMES DIRECTLY FROM THE CITY REPORTS OR FROM
INTERVIEWS WITH CITY EMPLOYEES.
THE ISSUE REGARDING JUSTIFICATION FOR THIS PROJECT, WHICH
APPROACHES OVER A HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS, WHAT IS THE COST
BENEFIT OF THAT PROJECT WHEN MAINTENANCE WOULD BE FAR LESS
EXPENSIVE AND PROVIDE A MUCH GREATER POSITIVE IMPACT.
WHEN YOU START TALKING ABOUT THE INFORMATION BASED UPON
EMPIRICAL STUDIES, THE STUDIES CONFLICT WITH EACH OTHER.
IT'S NOT A CLEAR PICTURE THAT A PROJECT OF THIS CALIBER AND
EXPENSE WOULD SOLVE ANY OF THE PROBLEMS THAT WE EXPERIENCED
RECENTLY.
IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE TO ASK FOR THE INFORMATION RELATED
TO WHAT THE COSTS ARE AND WHAT THE BENEFITS ARE.
FINALLY, WHAT AND HOW MUCH -- AND HOW IMPORTANT IS IT, WHAT
CAN BE ACHIEVED THROUGH THESE DIFFERENT PROJECTS,
MAINTENANCE VERSUS CAPITAL PROJECTS.
COUNCIL DESERVES AN ANSWER.
THE PEOPLE AND THE PUBLIC DESERVE AN ANSWER BEFORE YOU PUT
US THROUGH A MASSIVE DISRUPTIVE PROJECT.
IT IS SO LARGE AND SO MUCH OF AN IMPACT, YOU CAN'T EVEN

IMAGINE.
WE HAD A PORTION OF HOWARD SHUT DOWN FOR TWO DAYS TWO WEEKS
AGO.
TWO DAYS, NOT FOUR MONTHS, NOT THREE MONTHS, NOT FOUR YEARS.
THE MAINTENANCE CLEARLY HAS BEEN SHOWN BY THE REPORTS, SEVEN
YEARS HASN'T BEEN DONE.
14 YEARS, PUMPS HAVEN'T BEEN MAINTAINED.
THEY ARE BROKEN AND HAVEN'T BEEN REPAIRED.
I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE'S MONEY IN THE BUDGET TO RECTIFY
THAT SITUATION.
HOWEVER, WHEN WE COME UP AND WE GIVE YOU INFORMATION, WE'RE
NOT LYING.
I UNDERSTAND WE'RE APPEALING TO YOU ON A VERY DIFFICULT
ISSUE.
I'VE GOT THAT, BUT IT NEEDS TO BE CLOSELY EXAMINED AND
COUNCIL DESERVES AN ANSWER REGARDING WHAT IS REALLY
HAPPENING HERE.
IS IT JUSTIFICATION FOR A PROJECT AND A DECISION THAT'S
ALREADY BEEN MADE OR IS IT TRULY AN OPEN AND EVALUATED
CRITERIA FOR WHAT IS THE BEST THING FOR THE CITY?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR CONSIDERATION.
10:13:10AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU, MR. MICHELINI.
MENTESNOT FOLLOWED BY PASTOR WILLIAMS.
GOOD MORNING.

10:13:18AM >> MENTESNOT, UHURU.
UHURU MEANS FREEDOM IN SWAHILI.
WE AS AFRICAN PEOPLE SHOULD ALWAYS BE THINKING ABOUT OUR
FREEDOM.
825 YEARS OR 1500 YEARS OF NO FREEDOM FOR THE BLACK, NONE
WHATSOEVER.
THE EUROPEAN, THE BYZANTINE OTTOMAN EMPIRES, NORTH AMERICA,
ALL THOSE EMPIRES, WHITE WESTERN CIVILIZATION EMPIRES HAVE
TREATED THE AFRICAN LIKE DIRT.
AND THEY HAVE GROWN ACCUSTOMED TO IT.
THEY HAVE GROWN ACCUSTOMED TO IT.
COME HERE AND TALK ABOUT REPARATIONS, NOTHING SAID.
AS A MATTER OF FACT, COULD YOU HOLD THE TIME?
BECAUSE WHAT HAPPENS IS, THERE IS A SITUATION BY WHICH
SOMEBODY IN THE AUDIO ROOM AFFECTS THE VISUALS WHEN CERTAIN
PEOPLE ARE SPEAKING.
AND THAT'S UNDEMOCRATIC AND IT'S UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
IT'S UNDEMOCRATIC AND IT'S UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
IT IS.
IT'S ACTUALLY ILLEGAL AND RACIALLY OFFENSIVE.
IT'S RACIALLY DISCRIMINATORY.
BUT THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS, WHITE PEOPLE LIKE TO THINK
THAT THEY HAVE GOTTEN US INTO A POSITION FROM 500 YEARS OF
OPPRESSION ON NORTH AMERICAN SOIL THAT ALL AFRICAN PEOPLE
SUPPOSED TO BE AFRAID OF THEM.

WHEN THEY SEE AN AFRICAN, WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE HIGH, DRUNK,
OUT OF OUR MIND, SCARY, INTOXICATED, ON WEED, ON DRUGS,
WHATEVER, WHATEVER.
ONE THING I MAKE COMMENTS ABOUT IS CHILD SUPPORT.
CHILD SUPPORT IS ETHNIC CLOSING AND SLOW NEGRO GENOCIDE.
I WANT TO SHOW ON CHILD SUPPORT WHAT THEY ARE DOING TO
AFRICAN MEN AND AFRICAN FAMILIES AND AFRICAN WOMEN.
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?
[CELL PHONE RINGING]
10:15:50AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
CONTINUE.
10:15:55AM >> BEFORE A JUDGE JOSEPH TOMPKINS, RIGHT HERE IN
HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY.
WE HAVE NO REPRESENTATIVE FROM DISTRICT 5, BUT I WOULD LIKE
SOMEONE TO PICK THE TELEPHONE UP AND CALL JUDGE JOSEPH
TOMPKINS OR CALL THE CHIEF JUDGE CHRISTOPHER SABELLA AND ASK
THEM WHY THIS CASE WASN'T DISMISSED.
10:16:23AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
YOU CAN GO FOR ANOTHER TEN SECONDS WITH
THE DELAY.
GO AHEAD.
WHOEVER'S CELL PHONE -- PASTOR WILLIAMS IS THAT YOUR CELL
PHONE?
MAYBE GET SOME HELP TO PAUSE THAT OR SILENCE THAT.
OKAY, MENTESNOT, ANOTHER 10, 15 SECONDS.

GO AHEAD.
10:16:41AM >> I THOUGHT I HAD ABOUT 30 SECONDS BASED ON THE
INTERRUPTION.
10:16:45AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
WE ACTUALLY PAUSED IT.
I'M GIVING YOU ANOTHER 10 OR 15 BECAUSE OF THE INTERRUPTION.
10:16:51AM >> THE LAW STATES THAT THIS CASE SHOULD BE DISMISSED.
WENT TO COURT.
THE JUDGE WOULDN'T DO IT.
THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE DOING.
NOBODY SHOWED UP, BUT THE JUDGE WOULDN'T DO IT.
THAT'S WHAT THE CHILD SUPPORT ARE DOING TO AFRICAN FAMILIES.
SLOW NEGRO GENOCIDE, ETHNIC CLEANSING, NOTHING MORE, NOTHING
LESS.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
HAVE A GOOD DAY.
10:17:14AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU.
PASTOR WILLIAMS, YOU ARE NEXT, FOLLOWED BY ROBIN LOCKETT.
I'M SORRY.
I MISSED SOMEBODY.
HOLD ON PASTOR.
KEITH GREMINGER.
THANK YOU.
KEITH, GOING ONCE, GOING TWICE, GONE.
PASTOR WILLIAMS, YOU ARE IT.
10:17:41AM >> MY NAME IS PASTOR WILLIAMS, LOCATED AT 1112 EAST SCOTT

STREET.
USED TO BE MY CHURCH, BUT A LOT OF THINGS BEEN HAPPENING
SINCE THEN.
I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THAT AND CONCERNED ABOUT THE JACKSON
HOUSE.
IF THEY ARE GOING TO REBUILD IT ON THE SAME PROPERTY WHERE
THEY PLAN TO JACKSON HOUSE, DO YOU KNOW THAT?
REBUILD BACK THERE ON THE SAME LOT, THE SMALL LOT THERE.
YOU NEED TO REBUILD IT ON BELMONT HEIGHTS.
RETAINING PONDS, BUILD OVER THERE.
EAT AND DO ALL THAT GOOD STUFF.
BASICALLY TELLING TONY DANIELS BECAUSE I WANT TO MAKE A
PRESENTATION TO HIM BECAUSE YOU ALL MAKE A PRESENTATION, ALL
OF YOUR LEADERS.
TONY COME UP HERE.
10:18:51AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I'M SORRY.
THAT'S NOT THE PURPOSE OF PUBLIC COMMENT.
YOU CAN CONTINUE WITH YOUR THREE MINUTES.
IT'S JUST THE OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUR THREE MINUTES.
10:19:01AM >> APPRECIATE WHAT YOU'RE DOING FOR THE PEOPLE.
YOU'RE DOING A WHOLE LOT FOR THE PEOPLE, BUT THE PEOPLE
DON'T SEEM TO APPRECIATE YOU.
BUT I WANT YOU TO KNOW AS A PREACHER, I APPRECIATE
EVERYTHING YOU'RE DOING FOR ME.
DOING IT NOT JUST FOR ME, DOING IT FOR EVERYBODY.

WANT TO KNOW SOMETHING, THE CITY COUNCIL, WE BELIEVE IN YOU
ALL.
WE PUT OUR TRUST IN YOU ALL.
YOU NEED TO DO RIGHT FOR ALL PEOPLE.
YOU GOT TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT IN OUR SIGHT AND DO WHAT IS
RIGHT IN GOD'S SIGHT.
THAT'S WHERE WE GO FROM HERE TO NEW JERUSALEM AND WANT YOU
ALL TO UNDERSTAND THIS HERE.
I'M AN OLD MAN NOW.
HANDICAP WHEEL THERE, AND SEEM LIKE YOU ALL DON'T WANT TO DO
NOTHING FOR ME.
YOU ALL CAN CARE LESS THAN A DAMN.
I COME HERE WEEK AFTER WEEK, YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR AND
I GET NO RESPECT.
I GET NO RESPECT.
THANK GOD I'M STILL LIVING AND HE'S GIVING ME PLENTY OF
RESPECT.
I THANK GOD FOR THAT.
NOW, WE GOT TO UNDERSTAND, I THANK TONY SO MUCH FOR WHAT
HE'S DOING.
I KNOW YOU ALL ARE NOT GOING TO SAY NOTHING ABOUT THAT.
BUT I GOT TO THINKING, HE'S ONE OF THE ONLY MAN THAT COME
DOWN HERE LIKE I DO AND DO WHAT HE HAS TO DO FOR EVERYBODY,
NOT ONLY JUST FOR BLACK PEOPLE, BUT FOR PEOPLE PERIOD.
AND WE ARE VERY GRATEFUL TO HIM, IN THE NAME OF JESUS, WE

ASK YOU TO BE BLESSED.
GOD BLESS YOU.
10:20:41AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU, PASTOR WILLIAMS.
ROBIN LOCKETT, FOLLOWED BY JASON REEKMANS.
JASON WILL BE THE LAST SPEAKER.
10:20:52AM >> GOOD MORNING, COUNCIL.
I HAVE A CONCERN, YESTERDAY, I WAS IN THE BUDGET HEARING.
I DIDN'T STAY THE WHOLE ENTIRE TIME BECAUSE IT GOT LATE, BUT
MONEY GOING TOWARD HOUSING.
I UNDERSTAND THAT 30% OF IT IS COMING FROM THE CRA, WHICH
WAS OUTLINED YEARS AGO.
IF NO OTHER MONEY IS BEING AFFORDED TO HOUSING AND YOU'RE
JUST LOOKING AT THE CRA, WHAT ABOUT THE PEOPLE THAT DON'T
LIVE WITHIN CRA DISTRICTS?
WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO THEM?
IT WAS SAID THAT THE THREE HUNDRED AND SOME ODD MILLION
DOLLARS THAT'S COMING TO THE COUNTY, THAT THE CITY IS
EXPECTING SOME OF THAT FOR HOUSING.
I'VE HEARD FROM THE COUNTY, THE COUNTY IS CREATING THEIR OWN
PLAN FOR THAT MONEY TO COVER HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY AND THE
CITY FOR DISASTER RECOVERY.
SO THE CITY IS SAYING THEY'LL GET MONEY TO HANDLE HOUSING,
IT'S GOING TO BE HANDLED THROUGH -- FROM THE COUNTY
DIRECTLY.
I'M JUST KIND OF CONFUSED AND CONCERNED THAT NO OTHER MONEY

IS BEING OUTLINED FOR HOUSING.
OF COURSE, I WANT YOU ALL TO FULLY SUPPORT THE YELLOW
JACKETS AND REBUILDING THE YELLOW JACKETS AND MAKING THEM
WHOLE.
100% FOR THIS -- BEFORE THIS ADMINISTRATION LEAVES.
THANK YOU.
10:22:23AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU, MS. LOCKETT.
JASON REEKMANS.
10:22:29AM >> GOOD MORNING, COUNCIL.
SORRY.
I PRINTED THIS YESTERDAY.
THIS IS A MAP OF EAST TAMPA.
TWO THINGS.
THE FIRST THING IS, YOU CAN'T BUY VEGETABLES IN EAST TAMPA.
LIKE, IF YOU LIVE CLOSE TO -- THE BOTTOM, THE SOUTHERN PART
OF EAST TAMPA -- IF YOU LIVE DOWN HERE, IF YOU DON'T HAVE A
CAR, IT TAKES YOU AN HOUR EITHER BY BUS OR BY -- OR IF YOU
HAVE TO WALK, IT WOULD TAKE YOU AN HOUR TO GET TO THE
WALMART SUPER CENTER ON HILLSBOROUGH AVENUE.
AND I DON'T THINK THAT'S JUST.
THAT'S NOT FAIR.
IT'S NOT RIGHT.
IT'S NOT EQUITABLE.
30 MINUTES TO GET THERE BY BUS.
YOU HAVE A FEW DIFFERENT BUS ROUTES.

YOU GUYS UNDERSTAND.
IF I WERE TO INVITE YOU GUYS OVER TO MY MODEST HOME IN EAST
TAMPA, HEY, I'LL COOK SOMETHING FOR DINNER, IF I WANT TO GET
ZUCCHINI, SQUASH OR SOME SALMON, CAN'T DO IT.
CAN'T DO IT IN THAT AREA.
IT'S NOT RIGHT.
I DID PUT FORTH A PROPOSAL TO BUILD AFFORDABLE HOUSING THAT
WOULD ANSWER OR THAT WOULD PROVIDE FOR THE NEED OF THE
COMMUNITY AND RESOLVE THE SITUATION.
I JUST WANT YOUR HELP REALLY.
I WANT TO BE ABLE TO REACH OUT TO YOU GUYS AND KIND OF
EXPLAIN WHAT MY IDEA IS AND JUST TO GET YOUR SUPPORT.
THE SECOND THING I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT IS AFFORDABLE
HOUSING.
I LIVE IN YBOR.
THESE ARE TWO HOUSES THAT I PASS ALL THE TIME WHEN I'M
WALKING.
THAT IS A 500-SQUARE-FOOT HOUSE.
THIS IS A 700-SQUARE-FOOT HOUSE OR 750, APPROXIMATELY,
INDIVIDUALLY ON A THOUSAND SQUARE FOOT LOT.
AND IT HAS SPACE IN THE BACK FOR TWO PARKING PATHS.
TWO VEHICLES CAN PARK BEHIND EACH HOUSE.
WHENEVER I GO TO ZONING AND I SAY, HEY, I HAVE A LOT.
IT'S FOR SALE.
I WANT TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS, I'M TOLD, OH, NO, IT'S

DIFFERENT.
SAME DISTRICT BUT IT'S DIFFERENT RULES.
THIS IS 4th AVENUE.
LIKE CONDOS, RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER FROM THERE, THESE ARE
1500-SQUARE-FOOT TOWNHOMES THAT CAN EASILY BE PUT IN EAST
TAMPA.
4th AVENUE IS NOT A CORRIDOR.
IF YOU GO WEST, IT DEAD-ENDS AT CONSTRUCTION.
IF YOU GO EAST, IT DEAD-ENDS THE OTHER WAY.
I JUST WANT YOUR SUPPORT IN RESOLVING THE SITUATION.
THAT'S ALL.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.
10:25:38AM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I'LL HAVE MY AIDE MS. SCHARF COME OUT AND
GIVE YOU SOME CONTACT INFORMATION.
IF MS. SCHARF IS LISTENING TO ME, SHE WILL BE OUT IN A
MOMENT.
10:25:47AM >> THANK YOU, GUYS.
10:25:55AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
MICHAEL RANDOLPH, ARE YOU ONLINE?
10:25:59AM >> I'M WITH THE WEST TAMPA CDC.
SO TODAY I WANT TO TALK ABOUT --
10:26:04AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
CAN YOU START AGAIN?
WE MISSED YOU IN THE BEGINNING.
START AGAIN WITH YOUR NAME AND WE'LL START YOUR TIME NOW.
10:26:10AM >> CERTAINLY.
MY NAME IS MICHAEL RANDOLPH AND I'M WITH THE WEST TAMPA CDC.

THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK.
I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM.
BASED ON RESEARCH THAT I'VE BEEN DOING FOR THE YEAR 2026 AND
2027, IT'S GOING TO BE DEVASTATING ON OUR COMMUNITIES.
OUR RESPONSE IS TECHNOLOGY, WEALTH BUILDING AND JOB CREATION
CENTER.
LET ME TALK ABOUT TWO PARTS.
FIRST IS THE HOME-BASED E-COMMERCE INITIATIVE, WHICH IS SET
TO LAUNCH ANYWHERE BETWEEN 20 TO 30 RESIDENT OWNED
BUSINESSES OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS AND BUILD -- ONLINE AND
ROOTED IN ECONOMIC INCLUSION.
THIS INITIATIVE UNLOCKS ENTREPRENEURSHIP FOR SENIORS, YOUTH,
RETURNING CITIZENS, AND RESIDENTS.
THE E-COMMERCE AND HOME-BASED PART OF THIS INITIATIVE WILL
LEARN RESIDENTS TO USE -- MONETIZE, AND SELL HOMEMADE
PRODUCTS ONLINE.
ALSO SUPPORT SERVICE-BASED BUSINESSES, LIKE CLEANING,
LANDSCAPING, AND PHYSICAL COUNSELING, WHETHER FULL TIME,
PART TIME OR SUPPLEMENTAL INCOME, EVERY INCOME WILL BE
SUPPORTED.
CLEARINGHOUSE, WE WILL BUILD A REAL TIME DATABASE OF
RESIDENTS, BUSINESSES, LAND ASSETS, ACTIVATING WEST TAMPA
FOR ECONOMIC POTENTIAL.
WHAT ARE THE CORE FUNCTIONS?
WELL, WE WANT TO MATCH INDIVIDUAL SKILLS, CERTIFICATION.

WE ARE GOING TO IDENTIFY MARKET GAPS AND SUPPLY CHAIN
OPPORTUNITY.
WE WANT TO MATCH RESIDENTS TO JOB, TRAINING, AND OTHER
OPPORTUNITY.
WE'RE GOING TO FACILITATE A CO-OP JOINT VENTURE IN CAPITAL
ASSETS.
THIS DATA-DRIVEN, COMMUNITY LED DEVELOPMENT -- WE ARE
PLANNING TO SHAPE IT.
WE WANT WEST TAMPA TO BECOME A NATIONAL MODEL AS TO WHAT CAN
HAPPEN WHEN YOU USE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.
I ALSO WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE PEOPLE THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE
TRAINING IN GRANT WRITING.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
10:28:57AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU, MR. RANDOLPH.
THAT CONCLUDES PUBLIC COMMENT FOR THE DAY.
OUR NEXT LINE OF BUSINESS IS BOARD APPOINTMENTS FOR HISTORIC
PRESERVATION COMMITTEE.
10:29:11AM >> GOOD MORNING, CITY COUNCIL.
SULING LUCAS HARRIS DEPUTY CITY CLERK FOR THE CITY OF TAMPA.
I'M HERE BEFORE YOU TODAY TO PRESENT AN APPLICANT FOR THE
HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION.
I PRESENT TO YOU MS. STEFANIE McQUEEN, WHO HAS EXPRESSED
AN INTEREST IN THE URBAN PLANNING POSITION WHICH WAS
PREVIOUSLY HELD BY DOMINIQUE COBB WHOSE TERM EXPIRED APRIL
18, 2025.

SHE WILL NOW HAVE THREE MINUTES TO EXPRESS HER
QUALIFICATIONS FOR THE POSITION.
10:29:37AM >> GOOD MORNING, COUNCIL.
STEFANIE McQUEEN.
I AM A 15-YEAR PLUS RESIDENT OF THE CITY OF TAMPA.
MY BACKGROUND IS IN PLANNING BUT I ALSO HAVE A BACKGROUND IN
HISTORIC PRESERVATION PLANNING.
ORIGINALLY, I HAD GONE TO SCHOOL FOR HISTORY AND HISTORIC
PRESERVATION, ARCHITECTURAL HISTORY.
I HAVE WORKED FOR CITY GOVERNMENTS IN ILLINOIS WHERE I AM
ORIGINALLY FROM DOING CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS
REVIEWS, NATIONAL REGISTER APPLICATIONS.
HAVE A LOT OF BACKGROUND IN THAT PROFESSIONALLY.
AND THEN I TRANSITIONED INTO LAND USE AND TRANSPORTATION
PLANNING.
I'VE BEEN STAFF ON A COUNTY GOVERNMENT IN MARYLAND
PREVIOUSLY IN MY CAREER, AND I'VE BEEN WORKING AS A
TRANSPORTATION AND LAND USE CONSULTANT FOR THE LAST 18
YEARS.
VERY INTERESTED IN SERVING ON THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION
COMMISSION FOR THE CITY OF TAMPA.
I SEE WE HAVE A LOT OF RESOURCES THAT ARE IN NEED OF SUPPORT
AND STRENGTHENING OUR COMMUNITIES AND ALLOWING SOME OF THE
NEW DEVELOPMENT TO MEET THOSE HISTORIC COMPONENTS AND
ESSENTIAL KIND OF FEATURES TO BUILD NEIGHBORHOODS UP.

SO HAPPY TO SERVE IN THIS ROLE.
IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS, I'M NOT SURE WHAT ELSE I CAN DO
TO ANSWER.
10:31:04AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
I LOOKED OVER YOUR APPLICATION, SLASH,
RESUM .
IT'S VERY IMPRESSIVE.
I THINK YOU ARE THE TYPE OF CANDIDATE THAT WE WANT ON THIS
BOARD.
SO I'M HAPPY TO MAKE A MOTION FOR MR. SHELBY TO COME BACK
WITH A RESOLUTION, CORRECT, TO APPOINT YOU TO THE BOARD?
10:31:20AM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
ACTUALLY, YOU CAN MAKE THE MOTION TO ACCEPT
HER AND THEN WE CAN MOVE THE RESOLUTION IF THAT'S COUNCIL'S
PLEASURE.
10:31:26AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
MOTION TO ACCEPT THE NOMINEE.
10:31:29AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN
MANISCALCO TO APPROVE THE APPOINTMENT TO THE HISTORIC
PRESERVATION BOARD.
AND MOVE THE RESOLUTION.
WE HAVE A SECOND FROM I DON'T KNOW WHO I HEARD FIRST.
I HEARD COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
DISCUSSION, COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
10:31:45AM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I WANTED TO SAY THE SAME THING.
I REALLY THOUGHT YOUR RESUM WAS GREAT AND REALLY LOOKING
FORWARD TO HAVING SOMEBODY WHO HAS THAT EXPERIENCE BUT ALSO
SOME TRANSIT EXPERIENCE BECAUSE THAT'S MY -- I THOUGHT THAT

WAS GREAT.
10:31:58AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.
ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
OPPOSED?
THE AYES HAVE IT UNANIMOUSLY.
CONGRATULATIONS.
10:32:04AM >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
10:32:05AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
WE ARE MOVING ON -- COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
10:32:08AM >>LYNN HURTAK:
BEFORE WE VOTE ON NUMBER 5, I WANT TO TALK
ABOUT IT.
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
YOU LIKE TO SAY ABOUT IT?
10:32:24AM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I WANT TO SAY THAT WE RECEIVED A LOT OF
E-MAILS ABOUT FLOCK AND THE AUTOMATED LICENSE PLATE READERS.
I DID SPEAK TO CHIEF BERCAW ABOUT IT.
I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF YOU HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT.
BUT HE ASSURED ME THAT THEY HAVE TO FOLLOW SPECIFIC CERTAIN
RULES, THAT THEY AREN'T ALLOWED TO JUST SHARE IT
WILLY-NILLY.
THAT THE ONLY TIME THEY ARE ALLOWED TO USE THIS TECHNOLOGY
IS TO SHARE IT WITH OTHER AGENCIES WHEN THEY HAVE AN OPEN
CASE.
I TRUST THAT CHIEF BERCAW KNOWS WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT.

ANY SORT OF USE LIKE THAT WOULD HAVE TO CROSS HIS DESK.
THAT -- I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE I TALKED TO THE PUBLIC
ABOUT THAT.
10:33:06AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
10:33:07AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
LIKEWISE.
I HAD THE SAME CONVERSATION WITH THE CHIEF.
I AGREE WITH YOU.
10:33:11AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
I SPOKE WITH CHIEF BERCAW.
I SPOKE WITH CHIEF BENNETT.
I ASKED QUESTIONS BECAUSE I DID RECEIVE A FEW E-MAILS.
I SAW THERE WAS MEDIA ATTENTION TO IT.
I KNOW AT LEAST ONE ARTICLE I READ EARLY THIS MORNING.
AGAIN, SAME AS COUNCIL MEMBER HURTAK.
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
ANYBODY CONCERNED, CHIEF BERCAW SAID THEY DON'T SHARE
INFORMATION WITH OTHER AGENCIES UNLESS THERE IS A SPECIFIC
OPEN CASE FOR A SPECIFIC PERSON.
SO IT'S NOT AN AUTOMATIC THING WHERE INFORMATION IS SHARED.
10:33:50AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
COUNCILMAN VIERA.
WHEN YOU ARE FINISHED, WOULD YOU MOVE ITEMS 5 AND 6.
10:33:53AM >>LUIS VIERA:
YES, I WILL.
THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.
I APPRECIATE COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK BEGINNING THE CONVERSATION

ON THIS.
OBVIOUSLY I CALLED UP CHIEF BERCAW AND SPOKE TO HIM ABOUT
IT.
I'M FULLY SATISFIED WITH THAT.
OBVIOUSLY GIVEN THE ALLEGATIONS OF POTENTIAL WITH WHAT'S
HAPPENING ON THE FEDERAL LEVEL WITH IMMIGRATION, SOMETHING
THAT REALLY BREAKS MY HEART, MOVES MY HEART, MAKES ME VERY
ANGRY OVER THE XENOPHOBIA, PREJUDICE, BIGOTRY AND RACISM I'M
SEEING OUT THERE, I'M VERY SATISFIED.
GIVEN THAT, I'M VERY SATISFIED WITH HIS ANSWER.
AGAIN, WANTED TO SAY THAT.
MOVE ITEMS 5 AND 6.
10:34:32AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
MOTION FROM VIERA AND SECOND FROM
MANISCALCO MOVING ITEMS 5 THROUGH 6.
ALL IN FAVOR, AYE.
OPPOSED?

THE UNIONS THAT WORKED ON THIS BARGAINING AND STAFF FOR

I KNOW YOU ARE STILL WORKING ON FIRE'S BARGAINING.

10:36:06AM >>BILL CARLSON:
JUST TO REITERATE WHAT MY COLLEAGUE SAID,
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE INVOLVED IN THIS.
A FEW YEARS AGO, WE DID A PARTIAL CATCH-UP BECAUSE OF
INFLATION.
COSTS HAD GONE UP.
THE SALARIES HAD NOT KEPT UP WITH IT.
WE DID A BIG JUMP THAT STILL DID NOT COMPLETELY COVER ALL
THE INFLATION, BUT WE DID A BIG JUMP.
THIS IS A SMALLER ONE.
STILL, THE IDEA IS TO KEEP UP WITH INFLATION.
IF HE WANT TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN THE BEST AND BRIGHTEST
PEOPLE IN ALL OUR DEPARTMENTS WE NEED TO BE COMPETITIVE
BECAUSE WE WANT TO RETAIN THEM.

THANK YOU.
10:36:40AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:

10:37:22AM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
MARTIN SHELBY, CITY COUNCIL ATTORNEY.
WITH REGARD TO FOLLOWING YOUR CONSENT DOCKET, WOULD YOU LIKE
TO MOVE THOSE ITEMS THAT DON'T REQUIRE STAFF AT THIS TIME?
10:37:33AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
WE COULD DO THAT.
10:37:34AM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
29, 30, 31, 32, 33.
10:37:41AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:

COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
10:38:01AM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I DID WANT TO SAY, AS FAR AS 29 AND 30, FOR
THE DRONE FIRST RESPONDER PROGRAM -- IT WASN'T REALLY A
RIDE-ALONG.
MORE AN OFFICE-ALONG, WHERE I GOT TO SEE WHERE THEY ARE
STORED AND LEARN HOW THEY USE THEM FOR PARADES AND OTHER
SUCH EVENTS AND HOW THEY ARE BEHIND IN THE PROGRAM.
THIS WILL DO MANY THINGS, BUT ALSO HELP KIND OF CROWD
CONTROL, WHICH IS WHY THEY ARE BEING PUT THROUGH -- OR WHY
-- THAT IS WHY THEY ARE GOING TO BE IN DOWNTOWN IN YBOR
FIRST AND REALLY JUST, THIS IS A TOTAL FOR THE NEXT NINE
YEARS.
SO IT'S NOT A ONE-TIME THING.
AND WE DO HAVE TO ALLOCATE THAT MONEY EVERY YEAR.
WE CAN SEE HOW THIS WORKS, SEE WHAT WE THINK OF IT.

I ENCOURAGE ALL OF MY COLLEAGUES TO GO AND VISIT THE DRONE
PROGRAM IS REALLY INTERESTING.
KEEPING UP WITH TECHNOLOGY IS REALLY HARD, BUT IT'S REALLY
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
TALKED ABOUT HOW THIS IS CHEAPER THAN HELICOPTERS.
REQUIRES LESS MANPOWER THAN HELICOPTERS.
WE NEED ALL OF OUR OFFICERS IN THE FIELD.
ALSO, WE'VE HAD A FAIR NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS OF PEOPLE THAT
COMPLAIN ABOUT HELICOPTERS HOVERING OVER NEIGHBORHOODS FOR
EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME.
HE IS HOPEFUL THAT THESE WILL EVENTUALLY REPLACE THAT, SO IT
WILL BE LESS INTRUSIVE FOR PEOPLE AS WELL.
10:39:37AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
VERY GOOD.
WE HAVE A MOTION AND SECOND TO MOVE 29, 30, 31.
ALL IN FAVOR?
AYES HAVE IT UNANIMOUSLY.

MOTION FROM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK, A SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN
MANISCALCO.
ROLL CALL VOTE, PLEASE.
10:39:55AM >>BILL CARLSON:
I'M IN FAVOR OF STREETCAR IN CONCEPT.
RIGHT NOW, THE CITY IS GOING INTO MASSIVE DEBT AND WE HAVE
TO START SAYING NO TO THINGS.

WE HAVE TO SAY NO TO THINGS WE EVEN LIKE.
I'M GOING TO START SAYING NO BECAUSE WE NEED TO DO THAT.
THERE ARE MONIES COMING IN FROM OTHER PLACES.
JUST AS WE HEARD LAST NIGHT, THIS IS LEADING TO SOME BIGGER
INVESTMENT.
WE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO DO IT RIGHT NOW.
IT WILL END UP IN MASSIVE DEBT.
UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE TO VOTE NO.
10:40:22AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
I'M GOING TO SUPPORT IT.
I SIT AS A MEMBER OF THE STREETCAR BOARD.
I SAID HERE MANY TIMES HOW MUCH I SUPPORT IT WITH THE FARE
FREE.
I'VE SEEN THE RIDERSHIP SKYROCKET.
I LOOK FORWARD TO THIS BEING THE BEGINNING OF FURTHER
EXPANSION DOWN THE ROAD.
CREDIT TO CHAIRMAN CLENDENIN FOR ALWAYS CHAMPIONING THE
STREETCAR.
THIS IS A STEP IN THE POSITIVE DIRECTION OF ACHIEVING THOSE
GOALS.
I'M HAPPY TO SUPPORT IT.
10:40:49AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.
I WAS HERE WHEN MAYOR GRECO STARTED THE PROJECT.
I'M ONE OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS VOTED FOR IT.
I'VE ALWAYS BEEN SUPPORTIVE OF THE PROJECT.
10:40:57AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THIS MONEY HAD ALREADY BEEN ALLOCATED FROM

THE CRA.
IT'S NOT NEW MONEY.
IT'S SHIFTING IT FROM ONE BUDGET TO THE OTHER.
THIS IS NOT ALLOCATIONS OF NEW MONEY.
THIS IS MOVING IT FROM THE BUDGET THAT WE APPROVED A
PREVIOUS YEAR.
WE HAVE A MOTION AND SECOND, ITEM 32 AND 33.
ROLL CALL VOTE.
10:41:14AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
YES.
10:41:14AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:

HEARINGS.
MOTION FROM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
OPPOSED?
AYES HAVE IT.
10:41:38AM >>BILL CARLSON:
CAN I ASK A PROCEDURAL QUESTION?
MARTY OR SOMEBODY, HOW COME IN A CASE LIKE THIS WE HAVE A

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

AFTER THIS EXPERIENCE, WE'LL KNOW EXACTLY HOW --
10:43:03AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
I WAS TOLD THE MORE TIME COUNCIL MEMBERS
SPENDS IN CHAMBERS, THE HAPPIER WE BECOME.
THAT'S WHY IT HAPPENS LIKE THAT.
10:43:10AM >>BILL CARLSON:
I'VE SEEN TOO MUCH OF YOU GUYS THE LAST 24
HOURS.
10:43:13AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I CAN'T GET ENOUGH.
10:43:15AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
WHO GAVE YOU THAT INFORMATION?
[ LAUGHTER ]
10:43:19AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
AS HE SAYS WITH A HAPPY FACE.
BACK TO BUSINESS.
10:43:26AM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
IF WE COULD, MR. CHAIRMAN, LET THE
ADMINISTRATION KNOW THAT IF YOU DO MOVE QUICKLY AND YOU'RE
ABLE TO TAKE IN THE MORNING, YOU COULD MOVE THE PARKING
DISCUSSION AND 35 AND 37 WHICH IS STILL OPEN.
10:43:38AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I BELIEVE THEY JUST HEARD YOU SAY THAT.
I DON'T HAVE TO REPEAT WHAT YOU SAID.
LET'S MOVE TO ITEM 25.

WHO IS GOING TO PRESENT?

10:47:12AM >> GOOD MORNING.
DANA CROSBY COLLIER.
ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY WITH THE CITY OF TAMPA.
I BRING BEFORE YOU TODAY ITEM 26.
IT'S FOLLOWING A SPECIAL MAGISTRATE PROCEEDING ON REQUEST
FOR RELIEF FILED BY JAMES HETTINGER, LLC AND CLENDENON
PROPERTIES, LLC -- I'M SORRY, PURSUANT TO SECTION 7051 OF
THE STATUTES ALSO KNOWN AS THE FLUEDRA.
IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE YOU'VE HAD A SETTLEMENT RESULTING
FROM A FLUEDRA, SO I WANT TO MAKE A FEW BRIEF COMMENTS
BEFORE I TURN IT OVER TO THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, THE OWNER
AND STAFF.
WHEN YOU CONSIDER A SETTLEMENT PROPOSAL UNDER THE FLUEDRA,
YOUR ROLE WILL BE LEGISLATIVE.
YOU CAN CONSIDER MATTERS OUTSIDE OF THE CITY'S LAND
DEVELOPMENT CODE AND COMP PLAN, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
THE IMPACT OF PUBLIC INTEREST RESULTING FROM APPROVING A
PROPOSED SETTLEMENT.
ALTHOUGH THE PROCESS FOR TODAY'S HEARING REQUIRED NOTICE AND

PROVIDES DUE PROCESS, IT IS A LEGISLATIVE DECISION BY YOU
TODAY.
AFTER I CONCLUDE MY BRIEF INTRODUCTORY REMARKS, YOU'LL HEAR
FROM SCOTT STEADY, THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE RETAINED BY THE
PARTIES IN THIS MATTER.
HE'LL GIVE HIS PRESENTATION ON THE MEDIATION PROCESS AND
THEN YOU WILL HEAR FROM REPRESENTATIVES OF THE PROPERTY
OWNER, CITY STAFF, AND THE PUBLIC.
YOU MAY CONCLUDE THE PUBLIC HEARING ONCE YOU PROVIDE THE
OWNER WITH THE FINAL REBUTTAL AFTER PUBLIC COMMENT.
FINALLY, AS YOU CONSIDER THE TESTIMONY AND EVIDENCE ENTERED
INTO THE RECORD TODAY, PLEASE REMEMBER THAT ALTHOUGH THE
SPECIAL MAGISTRATE'S REPORT IS A PUBLIC RECORD, ALL THE
ACTIONS AND STATEMENTS CONTAINED THEREIN ARE AN OFFER TO
SETTLE AND COMPROMISE -- OFFER TO COMPROMISE AND SETTLE
THIS, INADMISSIBLE IN ANY PROCEEDING.
I MENTION THIS IN THE EVENT YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE
POSSIBILITY OF SETTING A PRECEDENT IF THIS REVISED DESIGN IS
APPROVED.
THIS CASE HAS A LONG, LONG, LONG PROCEDURAL HISTORY.
BEAR WITH ME.
I'LL GIVE YOU THE OVERVIEW OF THE HISTORY.
THE PROPERTY AT ISSUE IS LOCATED AT 1715 EAST 4th AVENUE,
1411 NORTH 17th STREET AND 1707 EAST 4th AVENUE IN YBOR
CITY.

THE DESIGN AND PLAN FOR THE IMPROVEMENTS WENT BEFORE THE
BARRIO LATINO COMMISSION BLC ON MARCH 26, 2024.
FOLLOWING A PUBLIC HEARING, THE BLC APPROVED A CERTIFICATE
OF APPROPRIATENESS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW FOUR-LEVEL
APARTMENT COMPLEX OVER A ONE-LEVEL PARKING WITH SITE
IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE PROPERTY.
IN ACCORDANCE WITH CITY'S CODE THE PROPERTY OWNER PREVIOUSLY
SECURED AN OFF-SITE PARKING AGREEMENT TO SUPPORT SOME OF THE
REQUIRED PARKING COUNT NEEDED FOR THE DEVELOPMENT.
FOLLOWING BLC APPROVAL ON APRIL 10, 2024, A PETITION FOR
REVIEW OF THE BLC DECISION WAS FILED ON BEHALF OF AN
AGGRIEVED PERSON, NICK CAPITANO, INC. BY ATTORNEY MARK
BENTLEY.
AUGUST 1, 2024, CITY COUNCIL HELD A REVIEW HEARING REGARDING
APPROVAL OF THE CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS BY THE BLC.
AT THAT TIME, CITY COUNCIL OVERTURNED THE BLC APPROVAL BY A
VOTE OF 4-2, AND FOUND THE NEW CONSTRUCTION AND SITE
IMPROVEMENTS NOT CONSISTENT WITH CITY CODE, THE YBOR CITY
DESIGN GUIDELINES SECRETARY OF INTERIOR STANDARDS.
COUNCIL FOUND THE PROPOSED PROJECT IS, QUOTE, HIGHER AND
MORE BULKIER, UNQUOTE THAN SURROUNDING PROPERTIES AND ALSO
FOUND THAT THE OFF-SITE PARKING AGREEMENT DID NOT ADEQUATELY
MEET OR ENSURE THE REQUIRED PARKING WOULD BE MET ON-SITE.
ON AUGUST 30, 2024, ABOUT A YEAR AGO, THE OWNER'S ATTORNEY,
JIM SHIMBERG FILED A REQUEST FOR RELIEF WITH THE CITY

PURSUANT TO SECTION 7051.
THAT IS THE FLUEDRA SECTION.
REQUEST FOR RELIEF WAS ORIGINALLY FILED AND SENT YOU A MEMO
AT THAT TIME DESCRIBING THAT WE WOULD NOW ENTER INTO AN
ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDING TO TRY TO RESOLVE THE ISSUES
RAISED IN THE FLUEDRA.
THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE WILL DESCRIBE THE INFORMAL MEDIATION
THAT OCCURRED WITH CITY MEMBERS AND THE OWNER TO CONSIDER
ALTERNATIVE DEVELOPMENT PLANS THAT ARE RESPONSIVE TO CITY
COUNCIL'S EXPRESSED CONCERNS AT THE REVIEW HEARING.
WE CONDUCTED TWO MEDIATION SESSIONS.
THE FIRST ON FEBRUARY 28, 2025, AND A SECOND ON APRIL 14,
2025.
AT THE SECOND MEDIATION, OWNER'S TEAM PRESENTED A
SIGNIFICANTLY REVISED PLAN THAT WAS INTENDED TO ADDRESS THE
BASIS FOR COUNCIL'S DENIAL.
COMMENTS WERE RECEIVED BY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WHO WERE IN
ATTENDANCE AT THE MEDIATION.
STEPHANIE POYNOR, MARK BENTLEY, RYAN MANASSE.
AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE MEDIATION, THE CITY AGREED TO
PRESENT THE REVISED PLAN TO THE BLC FOR RECOMMENDATION AND
THEN TO THE CITY COUNCIL FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.
TODAY'S HEARING IS PART ONE AND THE FIRST STEP OF THE
FLUEDRA PROCESS AND WILL REQUIRE TO YOU CONSIDER THE REVISED
PLAN AS A PROPOSED SETTLEMENT OF ISSUES RAISED IN AUGUST OF

2024 AND IN AN EFFORT TO FORESTALL ANY FUTURE POTENTIAL
LITIGATION.
IF YOU DO REJECT TODAY'S SETTLEMENT, THEN THE OWNER IS
ENTITLED TO MOVE TO A STEP TWO IN THE PROCESS WHICH IS AN
ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESS WHERE THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE WOULD
DETERMINE IF CITY COUNCIL'S ACTION ON AUGUST 2024 WAS
UNREASONABLE OR UNFAIRLY BURDENS THE PROPERTY.
THE OWNER WILL BE UP AFTER THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE TO DISCUSS
THE PROPOSED PROJECT REDESIGN TODAY.
THE DESIGN IS MUCH DIFFERENT THAN THAT WHICH YOU SAW A YEAR
AGO.
IT INCLUDES AN ON-SITE LIFT PARKING ARRANGEMENT SCREENED
FROM SITE AND LOCATED ENTIRELY UNDER THE BUILDING.
SO THERE IS AN ALLEY PARKING THAT WAS DESIGNED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH CODE REQUIREMENT.
SO NO WAIVERS OR EXCEPTIONS ARE REQUIRED AND THE UPDATED
DESIGN OF THE BUILDING STRUCTURE HAS BEEN REVISED
SIGNIFICANTLY TO ALLEVIATE THE MASSING THAT WAS A CONCERN OF
COUNCIL.
IN THE INTEREST OF EFFICIENCY FOR ALL INVOLVED, ALL ELEMENTS
DISCUSSED AT THE MEDIATION AND COMMENTED ON IN THE FLUEDRA
MEDIATION ARE INCLUDED IN THE TEXT OF THE SETTLEMENT
AGREEMENT SO THERE WILL BE NO ADDITIONAL ADMINISTRATIVE
APPROVALS OR ACTION REQUIRED.
THE PROPOSED DESIGN AND SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT WAS PRESENTED

IN A FULLY NOTICED PUBLIC HEARING BEFORE THE BARRIO LATINO
COMMISSION ON MAY 27, 2025.
NO MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC APPEARED OR SPOKE AT THE BLC
HEARING.
AND THE BLC FOUND THAT THE PROPOSED REDESIGN IS CONSISTENT
WITH CITY CODE, YBOR CITY DESIGN GUIDELINES AND THE
SECRETARY OF INTERIOR STANDARDS.
THE BLC RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL APPROVE THE SETTLEMENT
AGREEMENT AND RECOMMENDED AFTER APPROVAL OF THE SETTLEMENT
AGREEMENT THAT YOU AUTHORIZE THE ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW AND
HISTORIC PRESERVATION MANAGER ADMINISTRATOR TO ISSUE THE CA
FOR THIS PROJECT.
I'VE INCLUDED IN YOUR BACKUP THE MINUTES FROM THE BLC
MEETING ON MAY 27, 2025.
AND I'VE ALSO INCLUDED THE OPTIONS FOR YOUR MOTION.
IN CLOSING, THE PROJECT BEFORE YOU IS VERY DIFFERENT FROM
WHAT COUNCIL DENIED IN AUGUST 2024, BUT SO IS YOUR ROLE.
AS I MENTIONED, YOU ARE CONSIDERING A SETTLEMENT PROPOSAL
AND THUS YOUR ACTION TODAY ON THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT IS
LEGISLATIVE.
BECAUSE THIS IS A SETTLEMENT PROPOSAL, THERE ARE OTHER
FACTORS THAT CITY COUNCIL SHOULD TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION
WHEN MAKING YOUR DECISION, INCLUDING THE FACT THAT IF THE
PROPOSED SETTLEMENT IS APPROVED, IT WILL RESOLVE THE PENDING
FLUEDRA PROCEEDING AND LIMIT POTENTIAL LIABILITY, LEGAL

LIABILITY FOR THE CITY.
AS YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU, YOU HAVE THE MOTION -- SAMPLE MOTION
PAGE.
YOU HAVE THREE OPTIONS.
AFTER HEARING ALL THE EVIDENCE AND TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION
ALL RELEVANT MATTERS, YOU MAY ACCEPT THE MEDIATED SETTLEMENT
AND AUTHORIZE STAFF TO IMPLEMENT THE SETTLEMENT.
IN THIS CASE, IMPLEMENTATION WILL REQUIRE SECOND MOTION TO
REQUEST THAT THE CA BE ISSUED.
YOU MAY REJECT THE SETTLEMENT OR YOU MAY MODIFY THE MEDIATED
SETTLEMENT, BUT THIS CAN ONLY OCCUR WITH THE CONCURRENCE OF
THE OWNER WHO IS PRESENT TODAY.
THE ORDER OF PRESENTATION WILL BE AS FOLLOWS.
TURN IT OVER TO SPECIAL MAGISTRATE SCOTT STEADY TO DISCUSS
THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT.
AND THEN THE OWNER WILL COME UP AND PRESENT THE PROJECT.
FOLLOWING THE OWNER'S PRESENTATION, CITY STAFF WILL OPINE
UPON THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND THE COMMENTS OF STAFF ON
THE PROPOSED SETTLEMENT.
WE HAVE ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW AND HISTORIC PRESERVATION
MANAGER DENNIS FERNANDEZ, ZONING ADMINISTRATOR ERIC COTTON,
AND MOBILITY PLANNER JOHN MARSH HERE IF YOU HAVE ANY
QUESTIONS OF STAFF.
IF YOU HAVE NO QUESTIONS OF ME, I'LL TURN IT OVER TO
MR. STEADY.

10:55:22AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
ANY QUESTIONS?
10:55:25AM >> SCOTT STEADY.
I DID SERVE AS THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, BASICALLY THE
MEDIATOR.
DANA DID A GREAT JOB OF REITERATING EVERYTHING.
I'LL BRIEFLY COMMENT THAT WE HAD TWO SESSIONS IN FEBRUARY OF
THIS YEAR.
PRETTY MUCH DEALT WITH THE PARKING ISSUE.
ALL ON-SITE.
STAFF FELT STILL NEEDED TO BE IMPROVEMENTS OR CHANGES TO THE
PHYSICAL BUILDING.
DIRECTION BACK TO THE DEVELOPER.
GOOD DISCUSSIONS.
CAME BACK IN APRIL WITH SIGNIFICANT CHANGES, WHICH MADE THE
STAFF COMFORTABLE TO BRING IT BACK TO CITY COUNCIL WITH MY
RECOMMENDATION AS WELL.
UNLESS THERE ARE ANY COMMENTS, I SUGGEST WE HEAR FROM THE
APPLICANT DEVELOPER.
10:56:04AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU, MAGISTRATE.
WE'LL HEAR FROM THE APPLICANT, MR. SHIMBERG.
10:56:12AM >> APPRECIATE IT, THANK YOU.
10:56:13AM >> GOOD MORNING, COUNCIL.
MY NAME IS JIM SHIMBERG.
I'M HERE REPRESENTING JAMES HETTINGER AND DON CLENDENON WHO
ARE THE OWNERS AND DEVELOPERS OF THE PROJECT.

IT'S BEEN A LONG ROAD SINCE THEY PURCHASED THE PROPERTY BACK
IN 2022.
YOU HEARD -- DANA DID A GREAT JOB OF KIND OF SUMMARIZING
EVERYTHING FOR YOU.
WE'VE BEEN TO THE BLC TWICE.
BOTH TIMES WE RECEIVED APPROVAL.
AFTER THE FIRST TIME, THERE WAS UNUSUAL SITUATION WHERE
AGGRIEVED PROPERTY OWNER APPEALED.
USUALLY IT'S SOMEBODY WHO DOES NOT GET THE APPROVAL AT THE
BLC.
COUNCIL, EVEN THOUGH TWO OF YOUR MEMBERS THOUGHT IT WAS A
GREAT PROJECT, OVERTURNED THE DECISION.
SINCE MY CLIENT IS VERY ADAMANT THAT THIS IS THE APPROPRIATE
PROJECT IN THE RIGHT AREA AND DID COMPLY WITH CODE, WE'VE
GONE THROUGH THIS SPECIAL PROCESS THAT THE FLORIDA STATUTES
ALLOWS.
SCOTT STEADY HAS DONE A REALLY GOOD JOB OF BRINGING THE
PARTIES TOGETHER.
IN MY OPINION, THE TWO ISSUES THAT COUNCIL WAS UNCOMFORTABLE
ABOUT WHEN WE CAME BEFORE YOU THE LAST TIME, OFF-SITE
PARKING ARRANGEMENT, WHICH WE HAD APPROVED, BUT THERE WERE
STILL CHALLENGES WITH THAT THAT COUNCIL WAS NOT COMFORTABLE
WITH, AND THEN ALSO SOME MASSING CONCERNS MR. MIRANDA RAISED
AND SOME COUNCIL MEMBERS THOUGHT THERE WERE SOME CONCERNS
ABOUT THAT.

THROUGH THIS PROCESS, WE'VE GONE BACK.
WE FIGURED OUT A WAY, AS DANA SAID, TO BRING ALL THE PARKING
ON-SITE.
THERE WILL BE AN ON-SITE ATTENDANT TO MONITOR THE LIFT.
SOME OF THE SPACES WILL HAVE LIFTS WHERE YOU'LL HAVE TWO
CARS.
THE PARKING IS BROUGHT ON-SITE.
NO OFF-SITE PARKING AGREEMENT WHICH REALLY WAS THE MAJORITY
OF THE CONCERN OF MR. BENTLEY'S CLIENT.
THERE WAS ALSO THE CONCERN ABOUT MASSING THAT WAS IN THE
MOTION.
WE WORKED REALLY HARD AND STEPHANIE, OUR ARCHITECT, WILL
COME UP IN A SECOND AND WALK THROUGH SOME OF THE CHANGES IN
A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL.
SHE WORKED CLOSELY WITH YOUR STAFF TO TRY TO COME UP WITH
SOMETHING THAT THEY BELIEVE WAS RESPONSIVE TO COUNCIL'S
MOTION.
WE'VE WORKED HARD.
WE APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE BACK IN FRONT OF
COUNCIL.
I WANT TO TURN IT OVER TO STEPHANIE NOW TO GO THROUGH THE
CHANGES IN A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL.
WE'RE AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS.
BOTH OF OUR CLIENT REPRESENTATIVES ARE HERE.
THEY HAVE WORKED REALLY HARD.

WE THINK IT REALLY WILL BE A GREAT PROJECT AND WILL BENEFIT
YBOR.
I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THE PEOPLE THAT ORIGINALLY FILED THE
COMPLAINT ARE HERE.
I BELIEVE THEY ARE SATISFIED.
I'M NOT GOING TO SPEAK FOR THEM.
COULD SHOW UP IN A MINUTE.
I BELIEVE WE'VE ADDRESSED THE COMMENTS THAT WERE MADE AND
THE CONCERNS OF COUNCIL.
LET ME TURN IT OVER TO STEPHANIE TO MAKE A BRIEF
PRESENTATION BECAUSE YOU'VE HEARD A LOT.
10:58:56AM >> GOOD MORNING.
STEPHANIE GAINES WITH GROH ARCHITECTURE.
THE MORE PEOPLE TALK, THE LESS I HAVE TO DO.
MAINLY I'LL BE SHOWING VISUALS.
SO AS EVERYONE HAS SAID, WE WERE CHARGED FROM SETTING UP THE
FLUEDRA PROCESS, CHARGED WITH REDUCING THE MASSING, AND
SOLVING THE DEFICIENT ON-SITE PARKING COUNT THAT WE HAD AT
THE TIME.
I'LL RUN THROUGH THIS VERY QUICKLY.
THIS IS JUST TO REMIND EVERYBODY WHERE THE PROPERTY IS
LOCATED AND ITS CONDITIONS.
THE PROPERTY INVOLVES THIS ENTIRE NORTHERN FRONT OF THE
BLOCK ON 4th AVENUE BETWEEN EAST 17th AND ANGEL OLIVA.
IT INCLUDES ALSO MAINTAINING TWO HISTORIC STRUCTURES AND

REUSING THOSE.
AND THEN THIS PART OF THE SITE CURRENTLY HAS THE REMNANTS OF
THE TAMBORELLO SERVICE STATION THAT WAS THERE FOR MANY, MANY
YEARS.
AND WHAT I'M SHOWING ON THIS IMAGE IS THE FOOTPRINT OF THE
BUILDING AT THE GROUND LEVEL.
AND IT HAS REALLY NOT CHANGED SINCE YOU SAW IT BEFORE.
WHAT WE DO INTERNALLY TO IT AND AT THE UPPER LEVEL IS WHERE
WE ADJUSTED, PROVIDED FOR THE PARKING AND ADJUSTED FOR THE
MASSING.
JUST VERY QUICKLY, THESE PARKING SPACES, THIS IS ALL UNDER
THE BUILDING AND THIS IS -- THIS SYMBOL IS INDICATING WHERE
WE HAVE THE COVERED STACKED PARKING SPACES.
THE REST ARE UNCOVERED.
THE PARKING COUNT REQUIRED IS 96 SPACES.
THE EARLIER SCHEME HAD 69 ON-SITE AND 27 PROVIDED FOR
OFF-SITE.
WE NOW HAVE ALL 97 AND IF WE'RE LUCKY, WE'RE SHOWING 96
REQUIRED, AND WE'RE SHOWING AN ADDITIONAL ONE THAT WE
POTENTIALLY WILL GET ON THERE.
WE ALSO WENT AHEAD AND SHOWED OUR ADDITIONAL PARKING
ACCOMMODATIONS FOR NOT ONLY PRIVATE USE BUT PUBLIC USE.
SO WE'VE GOT BICYCLE, PROVIDING 20 BICYCLES.
WE'VE GOT THIS SPACE, CALLING ALTERNATE PARKING THAT WILL BE
SHARED BETWEEN ALL THE USES ON THE BLOCK.

AND THAT'S FOR THINGS LIKE SCOOTERS, MOTORCYCLES, GOLF
CARTS.
ANYTHING BESIDES A CAR OR BICYCLE.
WE ARE SHOWING PARKING OFF THE ALLEY.
THERE WAS SOME DISCUSSION.
MARK HAD BROUGHT UP THAT THEY WERE CONCERNED THAT WE WERE
NOT NEEDING THE BACKUP SPACE THAT'S NEEDED.
REQUIRED 12 FEET AND THAT'S WHAT WE'VE ALWAYS SHOWN ON THIS.
TRANSPORTATION HAS APPROVED IT.
IT IS A LITTLE HARD TO READ -- OH, I DID WANT TO POINT OUT
THAT OUR PROJECT SITS WITHIN THE YC 6 ZONING DISTRICT, WHICH
IS 60-FOOT BUILDING HEIGHT.
THE PROJECT WAS DESIGNED TO MEET THAT REQUIREMENT.
ADJACENT TO THE PROPERTY, THOUGH, ESPECIALLY ALONG 4th
AVENUE AND JUST A LITTLE BIT ON ANGEL OLIVIA IS 7 DISTRICT,
WHICH IS MOSTLY A NEIGHBORHOOD, 45 FEET IN HEIGHT.
THAT WILL COME INTO PLAY WITH THE STRATEGY THAT WE DEVELOPED
TO MOVE FORWARD.
THIS IS ONE WITH MY SCRIBBLY NOTES ON IT.
THAT'S OKAY.
JUST TO MAKE IT A LITTLE SIMPLER TO UNDERSTAND, WE TOOK AWAY
EVERYTHING AND ENLARGED THIS DIAGRAM OF THE BUILDING.
THE RED OUTLINE IS THE ORIGINAL, THE BEFORE OUTLINE OF THE
BUILDING FOOTPRINT ALL THE WAY UP THROUGH THE FIFTH FLOOR.
THE BLUE LINE IS THE SHIFTED MASSING FROM OFF OF 4th

AVENUE WHERE WE DROPPED AN ENTIRE FLOOR SO THAT MOST OF THE
FRONTAGE ON 4th AVENUE IS FOUR STORY, AND THAT SHIFTED
SOME SQUARE FOOTAGE TO THE BACK OF THE BUILDING ON THE ALLEY
SIDE.
THIS IS A DIAGRAMMATIC -- SO SORRY ABOUT MY SCRIBBLES.
NOW EVERYBODY KNOWS MY SECRETS.
MICHAEL IS NORMALLY THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAS TO READ MY
SCRIBBLES.
THIS IS DIAGRAMMATICALLY WHAT WE DID.
THE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED MASSING, AND THE NEW MASSING.
SO WE DROPPED THIS ENTIRE LEVEL OFF OF THE FRONT.
SO ALONG 4th AVENUE, YOU READ THE BUILDING AS A FOUR STORY
BUILDING AND THE FIFTH FLOOR IS PUSHED BACK.
WE ALSO ELIMINATED THESE TALL PEAKS THAT WENT UP TO 60 FEET.
THOSE WERE THERE FOR -- TO ALLOW SHARED USE OF THE ROOFTOPS.
WE REMOVED THAT OPTION, WHICH THE NEIGHBORS WILL BE HAPPY
ABOUT AS WELL.
WE MET WITH THEM.
THEY SUPPORTED IT, BUT WE HAD MINIMIZED IT.
NOW WE HAVE TAKEN IT OFF AND THE HIGHEST PORTION IS 56 FEET.
THIS IS NOW PUTTING THIS IN PERSPECTIVE, MORE REALISTIC
WHAT'S HAPPENING.
SO THIS IS THE APPROVED OR THE PREVIOUS RENDERING.
NOTICE IT IS -- NOTICE ITS RELATIVITY TO A FIVE STORY
BUILDING TO THE WEST OF THE PROPERTY.

THIS BLUE LINE IS DEMONSTRATING WHAT WE HAVE TAKEN OFF TO
ACHIEVE THIS.
DANA INCLUDED SO MANY THINGS IN HER PRESENTATION, BUT I WILL
MENTION, SHE DID SAY THAT IT IS SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT.
BUT THE THING THAT WE'RE PROUD OF ALSO, AND IT WAS CHARGED
WITH US BY STAFF, IS TO MAINTAIN THE ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES
THAT CREATE THE CHARACTERISTIC OF THE BUILDING.
WHILE WE HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY CHANGED THE MASSING, THE
BUILDING LOOKS LIKE IT DID ORIGINALLY.
SO WE SIGNIFICANTLY DROPPED THIS FRONT.
THESE WILL BECOME -- THE UNITS AT THIS LEVEL ARE PUSHED BACK
15 FEET FROM THE STREET AND THE ROOFTOPS HERE WILL BE PATIOS
FOR THOSE PRIVATE UNITS ON THAT LEVEL.
THIS IMAGE IS TAKEN AS IF YOU WERE FLOATING AT THE THIRD
FLOOR LEVEL.
SO THAT YOU COULD SEE WHAT WE'VE DONE.
BUT AN EVEN BETTER -- OH, SHOOT.
LET ME FOLD THAT OVER REAL QUICK.
SO SORRY.
THIS IS THE IMPORTANT PART.
THIS IS TAKEN AT EYE-LEVEL VIEW AS A PEDESTRIAN.
AND YOU CAN SEE THAT THIS MASSING, THIS TOP FLOOR DISAPPEARS
COMPLETELY AND MOST OF THE BUILDING THEN IS A FOUR-STORY
BUILDING AS OPPOSED TO STRAIGHT ACROSS FIVE-STORY BUILDING.
AND I THINK THAT I ZIPPED THROUGH IT.

I THINK THAT DESCRIBES IT.
OF COURSE, WE'LL WELCOME QUESTIONS.
11:06:01AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
11:06:02AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
YES, MA'AM.
IS IT A RED BRICK FACADE?
11:06:07AM >> IT'S MOSTLY RED BRICK ON THE PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAYS.
WE ARE USING STUCCO AS AN ACCENT.
IT'S A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT MATERIALS.
11:06:20AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
RANDOM QUESTION, IF YOU DON'T KNOW THE
ANSWER -- WHEN WAS STUCCO, WHEN DID THAT BECOME A THING?
NEW CONSTRUCTION, I DON'T SEE STUCCO USED.
STUFF AS FAR BACK AS THE '20s, MEDITERRANEAN STYLE, WHEN
DID THAT BECOME COMMONPLACE?
11:06:35AM >> DENNIS MIGHT BE ABLE TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION BEFORE THAN
ME.
WE SEE STUCCO ON HISTORIC BUILDINGS IN YBOR MORE FROM THE
'40s AND '50s.
I'M SURE THERE WAS SOME BEFORE THAT.
11:06:51AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
NO, BECAUSE HOW I LOOK AT THIS, IT LOOKS
LIKE YOU TOOK AN OLD BUILDING AND REPURPOSED IT WITH THE RED
BRICK.
AND THEN YOU ADDED SOMETHING BEHIND IT, WHICH IS THE STUCCO
PART.
IN TERMS OF THE MAKEUP AND CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD, IT
FITS IN, IN MY OPINION.

AGAIN, FROM EYE-LEVEL VIEW, IF I'M WALKING BY, OH, THEY
GUTTED THE BUILDING, PRESERVED THE BRICK AND THEN DID
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
ONE AND SHOW ME WHERE THE BIKE PARKING IS.
11:07:27AM >> SURE.
THE SITE PLAN.
THAT'S WHERE WE HAVE THAT.
11:07:30AM >>LYNN HURTAK:
SORRY.
I'M KIND OF A BROKEN RECORD.
11:07:34AM >> I ZIPPED THROUGH.
WE HAVE BIKE RACKS HERE AND HERE.
11:07:39AM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THAT IS NOT GOING TO WORK FOR THE PEOPLE WHO
LIVE THERE.
THEY ARE GOING TO NEED PROTECTED BIKE PARKING.
LIKE BEHIND GATES, THAT SORT OF THING.
THAT'S WHAT I'M GOING TO LOOK FOR.
I KNOW THIS IS NOT TECHNICALLY PART OF THIS.
BUT OPEN BIKE RACKS FOR PEOPLE THAT HAVE E-BIKES THAT ARE
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS, THAT'S NOT GOING TO CUT IT.
SO WHEN PEOPLE COME IN FRONT OF US, GENERALLY SPEAKING, THAT
IS WHAT I ASK FOR, COVERED PROTECTED BIKE PARKING FOR THE

FOLKS WHO LIVE THERE.
BECAUSE IF WE WANT TO MAKE THIS A WALKABLE AND BIKEABLE
COMMUNITY, WE REALLY NEED TO PROVIDE PEOPLE WITH THAT
OPPORTUNITY.
11:08:17AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU.
ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
11:08:27AM >> WE'LL GO AHEAD AND RESERVE ANY FURTHER TIME -- DENNIS GO
AHEAD AND GIVE YOU HIS THOUGHTS.
11:08:32AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
MR. FERNANDEZ.
TALK TO US ABOUT STUCCO.
11:08:38AM >> GOOD MORNING.
DENNIS FERNANDEZ, ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW AND HISTORIC
PRESERVATION.
THE FIRST ISSUE WITH STUCCO IS IT DATES BACK EVEN BEFORE THE
TERM STUCCO, PLASTER WAS USED EXTERIOR.
THAT GOES BACK TO THE GREEK ERA.
A LOT OF THOSE TYPES OF TRADES CAME WITH THE IMMIGRANT
POPULATION INTO YBOR CITY AND WERE SORT OF UTILIZED
DIFFERENTLY.
HOWEVER, THE PREFERRED FIRE RESISTANT METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION
AFTER THE EARLY 1900 ERA FIRES IN YBOR WAS VITRIFIED BRICK
FOR ITS FIRE RETARDANT CAPABILITIES.
NOW, STUCCO HAS BECOME A NICE OPPORTUNITY TO DIFFERENTIATE
THE TRADITIONAL BUILDING MATERIALS IN YBOR CITY AND PERHAPS

INTRODUCE THAT ELEMENT THAT SIGNIFIES IT AS NEW, NOT TO
CONFUSE THE OLD AND THE NEW, WHICH IS ONE OF THE PRINCIPAL
GOALS IN NEW CONSTRUCTION IN HISTORIC DISTRICT.
BACK TO THE FLUEDRA SETTLEMENT, I THINK IT'S BEEN VOICED
ALREADY, THIS REALLY WAS APPROACHED AS A COLLABORATIVE
EFFORT TO BRING WHAT WE FELT WAS A VERY NICE AND NEEDED
PROJECT INTO THE HISTORIC DISTRICT IN A MANNER THAT
INTEGRATES APPROPRIATELY INTO NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARK
DISTRICT.
FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, I APPROACHED IT TO RESPOND TO THE
CONCERNS OF COUNCIL WITH BOTH THE PARKING AND WITH THE SCALE
AND MASSING.
PARKING IS A CHALLENGING ISSUE IN AN HISTORIC
DISTRICT OF TWO AND THREE STORY BUILDINGS WHEN
YOU'RE INTRODUCING A REQUIRED 97 PARKING SPACES.
THAT'S ALREADY GOING TO BE A STORY, STORY AND A HALF BEFORE
YOU EVEN BREAK GROUND.
THAT BEING SAID, THE MECHANICAL ELEMENT OF THE SOLUTION
BEING PRESENTED IN THE SETTLEMENT I THINK IS AN INNOVATIVE
WAY TO ACCOMMODATE THE PARKING REQUIREMENT ON-SITE AND NOT
PERHAPS UTILIZE VERY VALUABLE LAND IN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT
FOR SURFACE PARKING THAT SUPPORTS A DISTANT PROJECT.
I THINK THE MASSING SOLUTION IS WELL INTEGRATED.
ONE THING THAT MS. GAINES DIDN'T POINT OUT, THERE WAS A
LARGE MECHANICAL ADDITION ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE BUILDING

THAT WAS ALSO FOUR STORIES THAT WAS ELIMINATED AS PART OF
OUR DISCUSSION, SO THERE'S SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN THE MASS OF
THE BUILDING BOTH VERTICALLY AND HORIZONTALLY.
WITH THAT, THE BARRIO LATINO COMMISSION DID FEEL, AS DANA
HAD MENTIONED, THAT THE PROJECT AS PRESENTED DOES MEET THE
YBOR CITY DESIGN GUIDELINES AND THE SECRETARY OF THE
INTERIOR STANDARDS AND DID FORWARD THEIR RECOMMENDATION TO
YOU TO APPROVE THE SETTLEMENT.
11:11:38AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
COUNCIL QUESTIONS.
COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
11:11:41AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
WHAT IS THE HEIGHT RESTRICTION IN YBOR
CITY?
HOW MANY FLOORS CAN YOU HAVE OR WHAT IS THE FOOTAGE?
11:11:46AM >> YC 6, WHICH THIS PROPERTY ENJOYS IS 60 FEET.
HOWEVER, THE APPROACH WAS BECAUSE IT ABUTS A 45-FOOT LIMIT
TO TRY TO VISUALLY MAINTAIN, 45 FEET, THAT'S WHY WE STEPPED
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.
I JUST WANT TO THANK THE DEVELOPER, THE ATTORNEY, MR.
SHIMBERG AND THE INDIVIDUAL WHO HEARD THIS CASE, MR. STEADY
AS THE MAGISTRATE FOR HEARING.
I THINK COMPROMISE HAS BEEN A VERY GOOD ONE.
CERTAINLY BENEFIT THE AREA AND IT WILL EASE UP ON ANY

RESTRICTION THAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED IN THE PAST.
THAT'S YESTERDAY'S NEWS.
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
WITH THIS.
BUT I AM STILL VERY CONCERNED THAT WE HAVE A HISTORIC
DISTRICT.
WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO FOLLOW HISTORIC STANDARDS, BUT WE'RE
ALSO USING JUST TOO MUCH PARKING, TOO MANY PARKING SPACES,
AND THIS IS GOING TO BE A PROBLEM GOING FORWARD.
IF YOU WANT TO KEEP STUFF AT FOUR STORIES, YOU'RE NOT GOING
TO HAVE ENOUGH PARKING.
HOW EXPENSIVE ARE THESE UNITS GOING TO HAVE TO BE TO HAVE
LIKE RAISED PARKING, SPECIAL RAISED PARKING, THEY ARE GOING
TO BE INSANE.
I JUST WANT TO SAY IT.
I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT IT.
I KNOW, LIKE I SAID, I THINK THIS IS GOING TO PASS, BUT MY
CONCERN IS HOW DO WE CONTINUE TO KEEP THIS AREA -- IF YOU
NEED THAT MUCH PARKING, IT'S NOT GOING TO BE AFFORDABLE.
AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO REALLY
GRAPPLE WITH AS A COUNCIL AS WE MOVE FORWARD ON THIS.
I SUPPORTED THE PROJECT BEFORE.
I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH IT NOW.

I JUST -- I REALLY AM CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT IS GOING TO END
UP BEING THE GENTRIFICATION OF THIS COMMUNITY BECAUSE OF
THESE ANTIQUATED AND VERY EXPENSIVE REQUIREMENTS FOR
PARKING.
11:13:55AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU, COUNCILWOMAN.
ANYBODY IN THE PUBLIC THAT WISHES TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM.
GOOD MORNING, POYNOR.
START WITH YOUR NAME.
YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES.
11:14:20AM >> EVERYBODY NEEDS THEIR COPIES FIRST.
11:14:22AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THAT'S NOT PART OF THE RULES.
START WITH YOUR NAME.
GO.
11:14:43AM >> STEPHANIE POYNOR.
GOOD MORNING.
LET'S SEE, I STARTED OUT WITH THE STAFF REPORT.
IT SAYS, HERE'S WHAT I THINK.
I REALLY HAVE NO OPINION ABOUT THIS PROJECT.
WHAT I HAVE AN OPINION ABOUT IS DURING THE FLUEDRA, THE
DISCUSSION WAS THAT BOTH FOR THE DIAGONAL PARKING AND THE
PARKING LIFTS, THEY BOTH HAD TO HAVE A DE-1.
PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOU ARE A TRANSPORTATION EXPERT UP
THERE.
ANYBODY.
BUEHLER?

OH, NOBODY IS A TRANSPORTATION EXPERT.
I WENT THROUGH ACCELA, AND I HAVE ATTACHED ALL THREE
PROPERTY ADDRESSES FOR ACCELA.
I WENT THROUGH THE FILES.
ERIC COTTON SAID THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO HAVE A DE-1 FOR
BOTH OF THOSE.
HOW CAN YOU APPROVE SOMETHING THAT THE DE-1s HAVEN'T BEEN
FILED?
SO IN ORDER TO APPROVE THIS, YOU REALLY HAVE TO REQUIRE THE
MODIFICATION FOR THE DE-1, UNLESS I'M JUST TOTALLY OFF BASE,
BUT THERE WAS A DISCUSSION ABOUT IT.
IT WAS DISCUSSED BY STAFF, BY THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT, AND BY
THE ATTORNEYS, AND HERE WE ARE.
I CAN'T FIND A DE-1.
MAYBE IT HAPPENED.
SOMEBODY SHOW IT TO ME.
BUT I CAN'T FIND IT.
THE WHOLE POINT, AS I HIGHLIGHTED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE
BARRIO -- THE STAFF REPORT, THIS WAS REALLY ABOUT PARKING.
SO YOU'VE GOT THIS RIGHT HERE.
HAS THIS BEEN APPROVED BY TRANSPORTATION?
IS THIS SOMETHING KOSHER?
I'VE NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE.
I DON'T KNOW.
THIS IS ONLY 24-FOOT WIDE.

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET YOUR BIG REDNECK TRUCKS IN THERE.
NOT GOING TO GET YOUR FULL-SIZE SUVs.
THIS IS 24-FOOT WIDE.
THOSE ARE THE ONES WE SEE WITH THE BIG DOOR DINGS.
REALLY?
HONESTLY, I DON'T WANT TO STAND UP HERE AND COMPLAIN ABOUT
IT, BUT WHAT I'M ASKING YOU IS HOW CAN YOU APPROVE THIS
WITHOUT THOSE THINGS BEING DONE BECAUSE NOBODY UP THERE IS A
TRANSPORTATION EXPERT.
NOW, I COULD BE WRONG.
I WOULD LOVE FOR SOMEBODY TO COME ON, STAFF AND SAY, YES, WE
ALREADY DID THE DE-1s.
MS. POYNOR IS TOO GOOF TOW FIND IT.
THAT'S REALLY MY ISSUE.
BECAUSE I AGREE WITH COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
THIS IS AN AREA OF TOWN, E-BIKE PARKING IS PROBABLY JUST AS
IMPORTANT IF NOT MORE IMPORTANT THAN HAVING 71 PARKING
SPACES, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO ALSO POINT OUT, THE LIFTS, THEY
SOUND LIKE A GOOD IDEA IN NEW YORK CITY WHERE PEOPLE DON'T
DRIVE FOR WEEKS ON END.
HERE IN TAMPA, PEOPLE COME AND GO ALL DAY LONG.
SO I DON'T KNOW HOW ONE ATTENDANT IS GOING TO TAKE CARE OF
ALL THESE PARKING SPOTS UNDERNEATH THIS BUILDING.
BUT, HEY, THAT'S TOTALLY UP TO THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.
THAT'S TOTALLY UP TO THEM.

I DON'T CARE.
WHAT I DO CARE IS ABOUT TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY
WITHIN THIS DEPARTMENT.
IF NO TRANSPORTATION EXPERT HAS LOOKED AT THIS, YOU CANNOT
APPROVE IT.
THANK YOU.
11:17:45AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
APPLICANT HAS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR REBUTTAL.
11:17:53AM >> DANA CROSBY COLLIER, LEGAL DEPARTMENT.
WE HAVE JOHN MARSH FROM TRANSPORTATION HERE TO ADDRESS ANY
TRANSPORTATION RELATED CONCERNS, AND WE HAVE ERIC COTTON
HERE TO ADDRESS ANY --
11:18:03AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
DOES COUNCIL HAVE ANY CONCERNS THEY WOULD
LIKE ADDRESSED?
11:18:06AM >>BILL CARLSON:
ONE QUESTION.
THE ORIGINAL COMPLAINANT OR AFFECTED PARTY WAS NICK CAPITANO
COMPANY.
ARE THEY NOT A PARTY OF THIS AT ALL?
11:18:17AM >> NICK CAPITANO INC. WAS REPRESENTED BY MARK BENTLEY, THE
ATTORNEY.
THEY FILED FOR THE REVIEW HEARING THAT CAME BEFORE YOU ABOUT
A YEAR AGO.
THEY DID NOT ATTEND THE BARRIO LATINO COMMISSION PUBLIC
HEARING WHICH WAS PUBLICLY NOTICED, AND THEY ARE NOT PRESENT
TODAY.
11:18:35AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
DOES COUNCIL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR STAFF

CONCERNING TRANSPORTATION?
HEARING NONE, JUST CONFIRM, ANYBODY ELSE FROM THE PUBLIC WHO
WISHES TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM?
SEEING NONE, APPLICANT, WOULD YOU LIKE A REBUTTAL?
11:18:49AM >> REAL QUICK.
JIM SHIMBERG AGAIN.
LAW GROUP.
MARK BENTLEY'S CLIENTS DID PARTICIPATE IN BOTH MEDIATIONS.
SECOND OF ALL, WE WORKED CLOSELY WITH YOUR STAFF AND ERIC
AND JOHN ARE HERE TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE.
WE FEEL COMFORTABLE.
WE ACTUALLY AGREE WITH MS. HURTAK'S COMMENTS.
IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE THE PARKING STANDARDS IN YBOR, WE
THINK THAT WOULD MAKE MORE SENSE.
WE WERE JUST TRYING TO COMPLY.
AND THAT'S WHAT OUR CLIENT HAS BEEN TRYING TO DO FOR THREE
YEARS NOW.
THAT'S WHY WE ORIGINALLY WENT TO OFF-SITE PARKING.
WHEN THAT DIDN'T WORK AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD DIDN'T LIKE THAT,
WE TRIED TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO BRING IT ALL INSIDE.
IT'S GOING TO BE A LITTLE MORE EXPENSIVE TO HAVE THE
ATTENDANT THERE, BUT IT'S GOING TO WORK.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.
WE APPRECIATE IT.
11:19:31AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU.

THAT'S THE END OF THE PRESENTATIONS.
COUNCIL DISCUSSION.
COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
11:19:41AM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I SAID IT BEFORE.
AS MORE THINGS COME INTO THIS NEIGHBORHOOD, WE REALLY ARE
GOING TO HAVE TO THINK ABOUT -- I MEAN, IT STILL UPSETS ME
THAT WE CAN'T USE GARAGE SPACES FOR THINGS LIKE THIS AND
HAVE PEOPLE WALK TO A GARAGE LIKE THEY DO IN EVERY OTHER
CITY IN THE COUNTRY.
WE'VE GOT TO START THINKING OF OURSELVES AS A CITY THAT CAN
DO THIS, THAT CAN WALK.
SO, YEAH, I'M JUST UPSET THAT THESE ARE GOING TO BE SO
EXPENSIVE DUE TO THE SPECIAL PARKING.
I THINK IN THIS COMMUNITY, WE REALLY HAVE TO SOLVE THIS
PROBLEM.
I'M GLAD WE'RE ABLE TO SOLVE IT IN THIS CASE, BUT WHAT IT'S
GOING TO DO IS IT'S GOING TO STOP SMALL DEVELOPERS FROM
BEING ABLE TO COME IN AND DO INFILL PROJECTS.
IT WILL LEAVE IT TO BIG DEVELOPERS.
I DON'T THINK THAT'S FAIR IN THIS TYPE OF COMMUNITY.
AGAIN, I SUPPORTED THIS PROJECT BEFORE.
I'M SUPPORTING THIS JUST TO GET IT THROUGH, BUT I'M
DISAPPOINTED WE HAD TO DO THIS.
11:20:36AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
COUNCILMAN CARLSON AND COUNCILMAN
MANISCALCO.

11:20:40AM >>BILL CARLSON:
BECAUSE OF ALL -- I'M ALLOWED TO TALK ABOUT
PARKING BECAUSE IT'S LEGISLATIVE, RIGHT?
BECAUSE OF ALL THE NEW DEVELOPMENT IN YBOR, THE PARKING
GARAGES ARE FULL ALL THE TIME.
I HAD A CONVERSATION WITH FED.
MAYBE WE CAN HAVE IT ON A WORKSHOP AT SOME POINT.
WE NEED MORE PARKING GARAGES IN YBOR CITY.
DESPITE THE FACT THAT WE WANT EVERYBODY TO RIDE UBER OR
WHATEVER, PEOPLE AREN'T AND THERE'S STILL A PARKING PROBLEM.
WE HAVE THE FERNANDO NORIEGA GARAGE, THE NORTHERN BUILDING
IS MOSTLY OWNED BY HCC.
I WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT DOING A DEAL WITH THEM SO WE CAN
TAKE OVER THE WHOLE THING.
BUT ON THE EASTERN SIDE, WE NEED A PARKING GARAGE.
THE CENTRO YBOR PARKING IS ALWAYS FULL, TOO.
IF WE PROVIDE PARKING, WE COULD PROBABLY MAKE A PROFIT ON
IT, PLUS IT WOULD HELP OUT THE SMALL DEVELOPERS.
THANK YOU.
11:21:37AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
11:21:38AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
WHEN THE TIME COMES, I'M GOING TO VOTE TO SUPPORT AND
APPROVE THIS SPECIAL MAGISTRATE RECOMMENDATION.
BUT IF YOU LOOK AT YBOR CITY, IT'S A UNIQUE PLACE.
IT IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF LIVE, WORK, PLAY HISTORICALLY
BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE STREETCAR ON 7th AVENUE.

STREETCAR NOT ON 7th BUT IT'S THERE IN ONE CAPACITY.
PEOPLE LIVED UPSTAIRS, THEY WORKED DOWN STAIRS.
THEY WORKED AT A CIGAR FACTORY.
THEY WALKED TO THEIR CASITA.
THEY HAD HEALTH CARE AT THE MUTUAL AID SOCIETIES.
PERFECT EXAMPLE HISTORICALLY OF WHAT A GREAT CITY OR VILLAGE
SHOULD BE.
UNFORTUNATELY, POST WORLD WAR II, YOU HAVE THE INTERSTATE
AND YOU HAVE THE PULLING UP OF THE STREETCAR AND THE
AUTOMOBILE COMPANIES AND TIRE MANUFACTURERS PUSHING
AUTOMOBILE OWNERSHIP.
THAT MINDSET, THAT PSYCHOLOGY HAS BEEN THERE SINCE THE LATE
1940s.
NOW WE'RE COMING BACK FULL CIRCLE.
WHAT'S BEEN TALKED ABOUT REGARDING PARKING.
IT SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BE.
PARKING MINIMUMS AND ALL THESE PARKING REQUIREMENTS BECAUSE
LESS THAN A CENTURY AGO, PEOPLE DIDN'T -- THEY DID NOT NEED
CARS.
WE HAD PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION OR THEY DIDN'T NEED TO LEAVE
THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
NOW WE ARE SO SPREAD OUT, THAT IT'S DIFFERENT.
BUT YBOR CITY FELL VICTIM TO URBAN RENEWAL IN A VERY
DRAMATIC AND AGGRESSIVE WAY.
IF YOU STUDY URBAN RENEWAL THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY, IT WAS

ESPECIALLY AGGRESSIVE HERE IN TAMPA.
AND I WAS PULLING UP ON GOOGLE MAPS WHAT THIS PROPERTY LOOKS
LIKE.
MUCH OF IT IS A VACANT LOT.
THERE ARE SOME HISTORIC STRUCTURES THAT ARE GOING TO BE
PRESERVED, BUT A LOT OF DAMAGE WAS DONE TO YBOR.
NOT JUST THE INTERSTATE, BUT IN TALKING TO FOLKS THAT HAVE
NOW ALL PASSED AWAY, I ASK THEM, I GO, AFTER THE WAR, AFTER
WORLD WAR II, ONE GUY TOLD ME, HIS FATHER SAID, WHY DO YOU
WANT TO COME BACK TO AN OLD HOUSE?
HE RENTED AN APARTMENT ON DAVIS ISLANDS.
ENDED UP LIVING IN LUTZ.
A LOT OF PEOPLE WENT TO BRANDON, CARROLLWOOD, ON AND ON.
CAME BACK 40, 50 YEARS LATER, WHAT HAPPENED TO THE
NEIGHBORHOOD?
WELL, NOT JUST THE INTERSTATE, BUT PEOPLE STARTED LEAVING.
TAMPA STARTED GROWING.
THINGS STARTED HAPPENING.
GETTING BACK TO THE POINT, I'M GLAD TO SEE A DEVELOPMENT
LIKE THIS GOING ONTO THE PROPERTY.
I'M GLAD THAT IT WAS MEDIATED AND WORKED OUGHT AND DON'T
HAVE A ROOM FULL OF PEOPLE IN OPPOSITION.
I THINK THAT SAYS A LOT.
NO MATTER WHAT TIME OF DAY, PEOPLE WILL BE FILLING UP.
THEY ARE AGAINST SOMETHING AND I KNOW THE VERY PASSIONATE

PEOPLE OF YBOR CITY, THEY WOULD BE HERE.
I'M GOING TO SUPPORT THIS.
AGAIN, IN TALKING ABOUT PARKING, PARKING IS EXPENSIVE AND
NOT EVERYBODY WANTS A CAR.
WE TALK ABOUT E-BIKES.
WE TALK ABOUT THE STREETCAR.
WE TALK ABOUT RIDING A REGULAR BIKE OR WALKING.
THERE ARE SO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS THAT WE NEED TO LOOK AT
BECAUSE IT'S EXPENSIVE TO OWN A CAR AND EXPENSIVE TO PARK
THAT CAR.
AGAIN, IF WE'RE GOING TO BE AFFORDABLE, ATTAINABLE, WANT TO
BE WELCOMING TO NEW, YOUNGER GENERATIONS, PEOPLE OUT OF
COLLEGE WITH THEIR FIRST JOB LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO LIVE, WE
REALLY HAVE TO HAVE A SERIOUS PARKING DISCUSSION.
THANKS.
11:24:36AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
11:24:38AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.
ALONG THE SAME CONVERSATION WITH COUNCIL MEMBER CARLSON AND
MANISCALCO, YBOR CITY -- BECAUSE OF DIFFERENT THINGS.
ONE WAS THE EXPRESSWAY.
WANT TO BLAME IT ON THAT.
NO.
PART OF IT, YES.
WHAT HAPPENED, WHEN THE PEOPLE THAT WORK IN THE CIGAR
FACTORY, PEOPLE WORKING AT REYNOLDS CAN, ALUMINUM CAN,

AMERICAN COMPANY, AMERICAN CAN COMPANY AND THOSE, THE
PEOPLE, KIDS THAT WANT TO FOLLOW IN THAT TRADE.
AND THE DEMISE OF THE CIGAR FACTORY ALONG WITH THE DEMISE OF
HOUSING THAT THEY WERE GUILT OUT OF WOOD MOST OF THEM,
EXCEPT THE HOUSING PROJECTS, MAINLY, DETERIORATED BECAUSE OF
TERMITES AND HOUSES WERE IN BAD SHAPE.
DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO FIX THEM.
DECAY, ON AND ON AND ON.
FOR YEARS, IT WAS A GHOST TOWN.
AGAIN, MENTION GRECO'S NAME.
CONVERSATION, COUNCILMAN CARLSON ABOUT BUILDING A GARAGE ON
THE EAST SIDE WITH FERNANDO NORIEGA AND THE MAYOR BECAUSE I
LISTENED TO IT AND IT NEVER GOT DONE BECAUSE IT GOT AN
OFFICE.
BUT THERE'S GOING TO BE A NEED SOONER THAN LATER TO BUILD
ANOTHER GARAGE.
WHO IS GOING TO FUND IT IS ANOTHER QUESTION.
BUT YBOR CITY DEMISE WITHIN ITSELF.
LITTLE GROCERY STORES.
HAD A GROCERY STORE YOU COULD GO IN, DIDN'T HAVE THE MONEY,
SIGNED THE RECEIPT.
END OF THE WEEK, WHEN THE PARENTS GOT PAID, YOU PAID IT OFF.
THAT'S HOW IT WAS.
THINGS HAVE CHANGED.
NO CREDIT CARDS TO SPEAK OF.

YOU HAD A HOUSE ACCOUNT AND WHATEVER STORE YOU WENT TO,
WHATEVER GROCERY STORE YOU WENT TO.
EVERYTHING HAS CHANGED.
I CAN'T FIGURE HUNDRED PERCENT WHY THEY LEFT, BUT THEY LEFT
MAINLY BECAUSE THE SECOND GENERATION FROM YBOR CITY.
MY GENERATION WAS BORN IN THE '40s AND EARLY '50s WENT
TO SCHOOL.
PARENTS OF THE ONES THAT WENT TO SCHOOL NEVER FINISHED
GRAMMAR SCHOOL.
SO THERE IS A DIFFERENCE THERE BETWEEN GRAMMAR SCHOOL AND
EVEN HIGH SCHOOL.
A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA AT THAT TIME WAS SOMETHING OF SUCCESS.
TODAY HIGH SCHOOL IS PART OF A SYSTEM THAT YOU GOT TO GO
HIGHER IN EDUCATION AND DO THAT TO BE COMPETITIVE IN THE
FIELD.
SO EVERYTHING IS CHANGED BETWEEN YBOR CITY OF YESTERDAY AND
THE YBOR CITY OF TODAY, LIVING IN TOMORROW IS GREAT, BUT THE
CONSTRUCTION AREA HAS CHANGED.
YOU'RE NEVER GOING TO HAVE WHAT YBOR CITY HAD BEFORE.
YOU HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT WANT TO LIVE THERE AND NOT
ENOUGH LAND TO SUPPORT.
YOU'RE RIGHT ABOUT A GARAGE ON EAST SIDE AND THAT WAS
DECIDED NOT TO BUILD IT AT THE END OF THE TERM BECAUSE THERE
WAS NO MONEY.
IT'S STILL THERE AND STILL AVAILABLE.

I GUESS, I DON'T KNOW.
IN AMERICA, YOU CAN FACE A LOT OF THINGS WITH A LOT OF
MONEY.
11:27:19AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU.
I AGREE WITH COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO ABOUT THE DEMISE OF YBOR
WITH PEOPLE LEAVING.
THE SALVATION OF YBOR CITY AND THE PRESERVATION OF WHAT WAS
LEFT IS GOING TO BE PEOPLE COMING BACK, AND THAT IS GOING TO
BE DENSITY OF DEVELOPMENT AND RESIDENTIAL UNITS.
NOT TO DIGRESS INTO THE FIRST SCOPE OF THIS PROJECT, I AGREE
100% WITH COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK THAT THE ULTIMATE PLAN HERE
AND AS WE MOVE FORWARD IS NOT TO LOOK BACKWARD TO THE
PARADIGMS OF THE PAST.
IT'S HOW PEOPLE WILL LIVE TODAY INTO THE FUTURE.
WHEN I LOOK AT THE PROJECTS, I LOOK TO PEOPLE COMING TO THE
TABLE WITH TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS AND PUTTING THEIR OWN
WEALTH AT RISK FOR A PROJECT.
AND I FEEL THAT THEIR FEEL OF THE MARKET AND THE RISK THAT
THEY ARE TAKING, THE MARKET IS GOING TO PREVAIL WHAT THAT
DEMAND IS.
I DETECT THAT THERE IS A THIRST FOR GENERATIONS THAT ARE
YOUNGER THAN ME TO LIVE IN A CAR, MORE OF A CAR-FREE,
INDEPENDENT ENVIRONMENT WITH E-BIKES AND OTHER MODES OF
TRANSPORTATION AS WE HOPEFULLY BUILD OUT TRANSPORTATION IN
THE CITY OF TAMPA, THEY WILL BE DEPENDENT ON THE

TRANSPORTATION.
RIGHT NOW, WE'RE GETTING CLOSE TO HAVING A STREETCAR SYSTEM
WITH TWO-THIRDS MORE RAIL.
AND THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN YBOR CITY CAN UTILIZE THAT AND
TRANSPORTED THROUGH THE ENTIRE URBAN CORE OF THE CITY OF
TAMPA AND ACCENTUATE THAT WITH RUBBER WHEEL BUS OPTIONS AND
PEOPLE WILL NOT REQUIRE THE PARKING.
I WAS ONE OF THE FIRST ONES ON THE HEARING, VOTED IN FAVOR.
I THINK IT WAS A GOOD PROJECT.
I APPRECIATED THE DENSITY.
I APPRECIATED THE NUMBER HAD OF UNITS, THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE
THAT CAN LIVE IN THE AREA.
ONCE AGAIN, PEOPLE LISTENING, THIS IS THE FUTURE OF YBOR
CITY.
I JUST HAD A CONVERSATION WITH FED THIS WEEK ON THE EAST
SIDE AND LOOKING FOR PROPERTY AND ASKING HIM TO TALK TO THE
LAND PEOPLE TO TRY TO START LOOKING FOR PROPERTY TO BUILD A
GARAGE ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF 7th ON THE EAST SIDE OF YBOR
CITY.
BUT THAT BEING SAID, WHAT'S BEFORE US TODAY IS THE
COMPROMISE.
IF I COULD GO BACK, I THINK THIS IS GOING TO BE ONE OF THOSE
THINGS THAT COUNCIL WOULD REGRET OUR FIRST VOTE THAT IT
WOULD HAVE BEEN A BETTER PROJECT, BETTER FOR YBOR CITY,
BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT, EVENTUALLY, THEY MIGHT NOT HAVE

NEEDED THAT SURFACE PARKING LOT.
THEY COULD HAVE MAYBE DEALT WITH WHAT THEY HAD BELOW THEM
AND BE A REAL CITY AND OPERATE LIKE A REAL CITY.
I'M SORRY WE CAN'T GO BACK.
BUT WHAT'S BEFORE US TODAY IS THIS COMPROMISE PROPOSAL.
CAN WE GET A MOTION TO CLOSE?
WE HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE FROM COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
A SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN VIERA.
ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
OPPOSED?
THE AYES HAVE IT.
WHO WOULD LIKE TO MOVE THIS?
COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
11:30:01AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE
THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE'S RECOMMENDATION THAT WE ACCEPT THE
RECOMMENDATION AND THEN PROCEED TO IMPLEMENT THE
RECOMMENDATION.
SO THAT'S MY MOTION FOR NOW AND THEN I HAVE A SECOND ONE,
AUTHORIZING FOR THE CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS.
11:30:20AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN
MANISCALCO TO APPROVE THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND WE'LL DO
THAT INDEPENDENTLY.
MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO TO APPROVE THE SETTLEMENT
AGREEMENT.
A SECOND FROM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.

DO WE NEED A ROLL CALL VOTE ON THIS?
ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
OPPOSED?
AYES HAVE IT UNANIMOUSLY.
11:30:45AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
SECOND MOTION AUTHORIZING THE BLC
ADMINISTRATOR TO ISSUE A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS FOR
THIS PROJECT.
11:30:52AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN
MANISCALCO.
A SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN VIERA.
ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
OPPOSED?
AYES HAVE IT UNANIMOUSLY.
VERY GOOD.
THANK YOU.
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
OUTSIDE BECAUSE THE MEETING IS STILL GOING.
11:31:27AM >>LUIS VIERA:
I DON'T KNOW IF WE HAVE ANYONE HERE FOR ITEM
34, SULPHUR SPRINGS.
I GOT A REQUEST FROM THE ADMINISTRATION, WHICH I'M AMENABLE
TO, TO MOVE IT TO THE SECOND BUDGET HEARING FOR A NUMBER OF
REASONS.
NUMBER ONE, BECAUSE THERE IS ADDITIONAL MONEY THAT WE TALKED

ABOUT YESTERDAY POTENTIALLY FOR SULPHUR SPRINGS.
NUMBER TWO, IT'S MR. ROGERO'S BIRTHDAY TODAY, SO HE WOULD
HAVE TO BE HERE FOR THIS.
AS A COURTESY TO A FINE GENTLEMAN, I'M GLAD TO DO THAT TO
MAKE THAT MOTION.
11:31:53AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN VIERA.
SECOND FROM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK TO MOVE ITEM 34 TO SEPTEMBER
16.
ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
OPPOSED.
AYES HAVE IT UNANIMOUSLY.
WE ARE GOING TO MOVE ON TO ABBYE FEELEY, ITEM 37.
WHERE DID FED GO.
HE WILL BE NEXT.
11:32:16AM >>ABBYE FEELEY:
ABBYE FEELEY, ADMINISTRATOR FOR DEVELOPMENT
AND ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY.
I FEEL LIKE WE WERE JUST HERE TOGETHER A FEW HOURS AGO.
THIS MORNING, I WANTED TO PROVIDE YOU WITH A MONTHLY UPDATE
ON THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.
IN JULY, OUR CONSULTANT DELIVERED WHAT'S CALLED PHASE 1A.
UNDER THE AGREEMENT, IT IS A LARGE DELIVERABLE, ABOUT 280
PAGES.
AND THAT COVERS ZONING DISTRICTS, UPDATED RESIDENTIAL
BUSINESS, THE INTRODUCTION OF MIXED USE DISTRICTS, USE
REGULATIONS AND KEY DEFINITIONS.

KEEP IN MIND THAT OUR CODE MODERNIZATION IS NOT A CODE
REWRITE.
IT'S A COUPLE OF THINGS.
IT'S AN UPDATE.
IT IS A MODERNIZATION.
YOU ALL KNOW IT HAS NOT BEEN UPDATED COMPREHENSIVELY SINCE
THE LATE '80s.
SO DEFINITIONS LIKE DOGGY DAY CARE.
WE DON'T EVEN HAVE IN THE CODE.
IT WASN'T A THING IN THE '80s.
SOME OF THIS IS JUST PURE MODERNIZATION.
SOME OF IT IS MAKING IT INTO MORE READABLE DOCUMENT.
WHAT'S OUTLINED IN THE WORK PLAN AND THE AGREEMENT WITH
CLARION IS THAT WE GET A STAFF VERSION.
WE WORK THROUGH THAT.
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING.
IN FACT, OUR TEAM THAT'S DOING THE INTERNAL REVIEW RIGHT
NOW, MOBILITY, PLANNING, LEGAL, ZONING, WE HAVE BEEN HAVING
-- WE STARTED OUT WITH HOUR SESSIONS.
WE ARE NOW AT TWO-HOUR SESSIONS.
WE GO LINE BY LINE.
WE LOOK AT HOW IT RELATES TO CURRENT PROCESSES LIKE THE
DEs MENTIONED THIS MORNING, ZONINGS, HOW WE'RE ACTUALLY
DOING THINGS.
LISTS THAT HAVE COME FROM DEPARTMENTS OVER THE YEARS OF

THINGS THAT NEED TO GET CHANGED OR UPDATED.
WE SPENT TIME ON THE SPECIAL STREET SETBACK TABLE THE OTHER
WEEK AND JUST GETTING ALL OF THAT INPUT.
AND THEN WE WORK WITH THEM TO REFINE THE DOCUMENT.
I WANT TO STAY ON -- I HAVE A LOT TO SAY BUT I WANT TO STAY
ON TASK.
I KNOW, AND I AM VERY MUCH AWARE THAT THERE'S INTEREST IN
RELEASING DRAFTS IMMEDIATELY, BUT THAT ACTUALLY COMPROMISES
PART OF THE PROCESS AND WE'RE TRYING NOT TO DO THAT.
WHILE I HAVE NOT BEEN AT THE FOREFRONT IN THE COMP PLAN
HEARINGS THAT YOU'VE BEEN HAVING, I'VE BEEN WORKING CLOSELY
WE HAVEN AND MELISSA IN -- EVAN AND MELISSA, TRACKING THAT,
MAKING SURE IT SYNTHESIZES WITH THE CODE AS WELL AS
SYNTHESIZING WITH SENATE BILL 180.
I APPRECIATE EVERYONE'S PATIENCE IN THAT.
OUR AGREEMENT IS STRUCTURED IN A WAY SO THAT THE PUBLIC SEES
A DRAFT THAT IS ACCURATE, THAT'S CONSISTENT, AND THAT IS
MEANINGFUL.
THEY DON'T SEE THE RAW WORKING DOCUMENT.
WE'VE HAD SEVEN OF THESE SESSIONS THAT I JUST MENTIONED AND
TALKED TO YOU ABOUT WHO HAS BEEN THERE.
WE HAVE A FEW MORE SCHEDULED.
PHASE 1B OR PHASE 2 IS SET FOR DELIVERY IN LATER SEPTEMBER,
AND THAT INCLUDES SEMINOLE HEIGHTS, WHICH IS OUR ONE FORM
BASED CODE SECTION AND YBOR CITY.

SO THAT HAS NOT COME IN YET.
AS I JUST MENTIONED, I HAVE BEEN ABREAST OF WHAT'S GOING ON
WITH THE COMP PLAN.
LAST WEEK, COUNCIL MADE THE DECISION NOT TO TRANSMIT TO THE
STATE AND TO MOVE THAT TO FEBRUARY.
LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE IS THE IMPLEMENTATION MECHANISM OF THE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
THE STATUTE REQUIRES WE HAVE LDRs THAT SUPPORT WHAT'S IN
THERE.
SO PART OF WHAT IS CURRENTLY UNDETERMINED IN THE COMP PLAN
AS TO THE TRCs, THESE OTHER AREAS, I DON'T WANT CLARION
SPENDING TIME WRITING CODE OR ADJUSTING CODE FOR WHAT HASN'T
YET BEEN ADOPTED.
I'M TRYING TO BE VERY MINDFUL OF HOW WE ARE TRACKING ALL OF
THESE PIECES TOGETHER.
SO THAT BEING SAID, AND AS WELL, SENATE BILL 180, WHICH
WE'LL TALK ABOUT IN A FEW WEEKS AT THE WORKSHOP.
WE'VE ALSO BEEN MINDFUL, I'VE BEEN MINDFUL NOT TO OVERWHELM
THE PUBLIC.
I KNOW ALL OF THE COMMUNITY MEETINGS THAT TOOK PLACE, THE
WORK THAT CARROLL ANN AND STEPHANIE HAVE BEEN DOING MEETING
WITH NEIGHBORHOODS.
THE WORK YOU'VE BEEN DOING MEETING WITH NEIGHBORHOODS.
WHEN I HAD LUNCH WITH STEPHANIE, I MENTIONED I DIDN'T WANT
TO THEN THROW THE CODE OUT THERE, TOO, YET TO ENSURE THAT WE

ARE BEING MINDFUL OF THEIR INVOLVEMENT AND THE TIME THAT'S
BEING SPENT IN ALL OF THESE DIFFERENT CATEGORIES.
AS WE'RE RUNNING THESE THINGS TOGETHER.
THE COMP PLAN HAS A MORE STATUTORY DEADLINE AND OBLIGATED
UNDER STATE LAWS TO HAVE THE UPDATE DONE AND APPROVED BY THE
STATE.
OUR CODE UPDATE EFFORTS, NOT AS STRINGENT OF A TIME FRAME,
BUT WE ARE UNDER CONTRACT.
I HEARD THAT MENTIONED THIS MORNING ALSO.
I DID CHECK WHERE WE ARE ON OUR CONTRACT.
I'M INCREDIBLY MINDFUL OF OUR BUDGET.
I DON'T WANT TO COME BACK TO COUNCIL TO ASK FOR MORE MONEY.
STILL AT LESS THAN HALF OF THE CONTRACTED AMOUNT.
SO WE HAVE NOT SPENT EXORBITANT.
I'VE BEEN WORKING VERY CLOSELY WITH CLARION.
I DO MEET WITH THEM EVERY OTHER WEEK TO GO OVER THINGS.
BUT I AM MINDFUL OF THE MONEY THAT'S BEEN DEDICATED TO THIS
PROJECT AND ENSURING THAT I AM ON TARGET IN MEETING THAT
GOAL AND YOUR EXPECTATION OF US.
I'M WORKING WITH THEM RIGHT NOW BASED ON ALL THESE KIND OF
MOVING PARTS TO GET AN UPDATED SCHEDULE, A REALISTIC
SCHEDULE FOR US TO ALL UNDERSTAND COMP PLAN FEBRUARY, WHERE
ARE WE, WHAT PARTS CAN WE KEEP MOVING ALONG WITH, AND TO
HAVE THAT SCHEDULE UPDATED AND AVAILABLE AT MY NEXT MONTHLY
UPDATE IS MY GOAL.

AS I TALKED LAST TIME I CAME BEFORE, I DIDN'T COME LAST
MONTH, ONE THING I ALSO WANTED TO MENTION, THESE MONTHLY
UPDATES, THIS IS PART OF MY COMMITMENT TO THE PROCESS.
THIS WASN'T PART OF THE CONTRACT.
WE DIDN'T HAVE TO DO THIS.
THIS IS ME SAYING TO YOU I'M GOING TO BE -- OF THE PROCESS.
SHARE WITH YOU WHAT I KNOW.
IN ADDITION, THE TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE SET UP WAS
ALSO NOT A RECOMMENDATION OF THE CONSULTANT.
IT WAS MY RECOMMENDATION THAT WE HAVE THAT GROUP MADE UP OF
VERY DIVERSE PEOPLE SO THAT WE AGAIN HAVE ANOTHER INPUT
POINT FOR THE PROCESS THAT IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN
HOW THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE WAS RUN.
SO THE DRAFTING STAGE I MENTIONED IS THE LONGEST.
IT IS THE MOST DETAILED.
WHILE THINGS MAY SEEM QUIET, THERE IS WORK GETTING DONE, AND
WE ARE REFINING WORK AND WE ARE COMMITTED AND REMAIN
COMMITTED TO TRANSPARENT AND VERY STRONG PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT
PROCESS EVERY STEP OF THE WAY.
THAT'S MY UPDATE FOR TODAY.
11:38:52AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK, THIS WAS YOUR MOTION.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEAK FIRST?
11:38:55AM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATE.
IT'S NICE TO HEAR HOW FAR IT'S GOING FORWARD.

WHEN CAN THE PUBLIC EXPECT TO SEE ANYTHING?
WHEN DO YOU EXPECT THE NEXT PUBLIC MEETING?
WHAT IS THE GOING TO BE THE FORMAT?
11:39:14AM >>ABBYE FEELEY:
I ACTUALLY HAVE MY MEETING WITH CLARION NEXT
WEDNESDAY.
IT WAS TENTATIVELY SCHEDULED TO BE END OF SEPTEMBER AND I
WANT TO HAVE THAT REVISED SCHEDULE DONE.
I'M HOPING OCTOBER OR NOVEMBER.
11:39:29AM >>LYNN HURTAK:
OKAY.
DO YOU THINK THAT'S SOMETHING YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO UPDATE US
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
HAPPENING IDEALLY IN OCTOBER TO GIVE PEOPLE AN IDEA OF WHERE
WE ARE.
EVEN IF IT IS NOTHING BUT THE DEFINITIONS, THE BASIC STUFF,
I THINK PEOPLE JUST REALLY WANT TO SEE SOMETHING.
11:39:54AM >>ABBYE FEELEY:
ABSOLUTELY.
11:39:55AM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANK YOU.
APPRECIATE THAT.
11:39:56AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO.
11:39:57AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
I TOURED SOME ALLEYWAYS IN WEST TAMPA REGARDING HAVING TO
BUILD WITH ACCESS IN THE BACK AND SOME BUILDERS HAVE
CONCERNS AND COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE ALLEYS THAT ARE UNKEPT

AND TOO NARROW AND EVERYTHING YOU CAN IMAGINE.
I'M NOT GOING TO MAKE ANY MOTIONS.
I WANT THIS TO PLAY OUT AND THEN WE'LL FIGURE IT OUT FROM
THERE.
SO NOTHING.
THE ONLY THING THAT I'VE HEARD IS JUST MORE PUBLIC
ENGAGEMENT, BUT YOU'VE ANSWERED THAT QUESTION REGARDING A
TAC.
IS THAT WHAT YOU SAID?
11:40:41AM >>ABBYE FEELEY:
WE HAVE A TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE.
IT'S A 12 MEMBER.
IT'S ON THE WEBSITE.
IT INCLUDES CARROLL ANN.
IT INCLUDES JAKE CREMER.
IT INCLUDES BRIAN -- I'M GOING TO FUMBLE ON NAMES RIGHT NOW
-- FROM ADVANCED -- THE ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS.
GARRETT GRECO FROM THE REAL ESTATE WORLD.
IT IS A VERY DIVERSE GROUP THAT SERVE KIND OF AS
INTERMEDIARY BEFORE EVERYTHING GOES FULLY PUBLIC.
11:41:11AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
I'M GLAD TO HEAR SOME OF THOSE NAMES.
OBVIOUSLY, PEOPLE THAT THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING
ABOUT.
THEY ARE VERY INVOLVED AND THEY CARE, BECAUSE THIS WILL
DETERMINE THE FUTURE -- THE DIRECTION THAT WE'RE GOING TO
GO.

AGAIN, ALLEYWAYS IS WHAT'S COME UP IN THE LAST MONTH.
TAKEN TOURS.
SEEN IT MYSELF ON MY OWN.
I'LL LET THE PROCESS PLAY ITSELF OUT.
I DON'T WANT TO MAKE ANY MOTIONS AND WHATNOT.
11:41:35AM >>ABBYE FEELEY:
IF I COULD RESPOND TO THAT FOR JUST A
MOMENT.
WE ARE COMING ON THE 25th.
WE DO HAVE A SET OF JULY TEXT AMENDMENTS.
SOME OF THEM ARE LEGISLATIVELY DRIVEN BECAUSE OF CHANGES IN
THE LEGISLATURE.
THE OTHER IS IN CHANNEL DISTRICT FOR THE HEIGHT THAT WAS
MOTIONED BY COUNCIL MEMBER CARLSON.
WE TOO HAVE HEARD, AND IF YOU ALL RECALL, THE SHALL VERSUS
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.
I KNOW THAT SOME OF THE BUILDERS IN WEST TAMPA HAVE GONE TO
THE CAC BECAUSE I'VE BEEN AT THE CAC MEETING WHEN THEY WERE
THERE.
BUT THAT IS SOMETHING, IF COUNCIL WANTED TO CONSIDER WHEN WE
COME IN SEPTEMBER, I MEAN, IF THAT IS THE DESIRE OF THE
COUNCIL TO MAKE THAT MODIFICATION BEFORE THE CODE UPDATE,
WE'RE HERE TO SUPPORT THAT OR SUPPORT YOUR DIRECTION ON
THAT.

WE DO HAVE AWARENESS OF IT.
11:42:31AM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
THANKS.
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.
BECAUSE WE'RE NOT ALLOWED TO TALK OUTSIDE THE MEETING, I'LL
MENTION I HAD A PARTIAL BRIEFING ALSO ON THE ALLEYS.
I VOTED AGAINST MOST OF THE ALLEY VACATIONS OVER THE LAST
SEVEN YEARS.
MY OPINION ON WEST TAMPA IS THE CITY OR CRA NEEDS TO GO AND
CLEAN THESE OUT.
IF THERE ARE A TREE GROWING IN THE MIDDLE, WE NEED TO CLEAN
THEM OUT AND REPAVE THEM AND PROTECT THE ALLEYS.
BUT THAT WOULD BE A CONVERSATION FOR ANOTHER DAY.
IF SOMEBODY IS BUYING THE ENTIRE BLOCK AND WANT TO VACATE IT
BECAUSE THEY CONTROL EVERYTHING, MAYBE THAT'S DIFFERENT.
BUT IN THE CASE OF SOMEBODY BUILDING A COUPLE OF
SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES SO THEY CAN GET AN EXTRA TEN FEET, I'M
NOT IN FAVOR OF THAT.
THANK YOU, MS. FEELEY, FOR THE UPDATE.
TO AVOID THE CHALLENGES THAT WE'VE HAD WITH THE PLANNING
COMMISSION, I WOULD ASK OR RECOMMEND THAT WE TALK ABOUT A
POST-ANNOUNCEMENT PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT PROCESS IN ONE OF YOUR

UPDATES.
YOU SAID YOU'LL GET SOME KIND OF UPDATE IN SEPTEMBER.
BASED ON WHAT YOU SAID, WHICH I AGREE WITH, YOU'RE PROBABLY
NOT GOING TO GET A SUBSTANTIVE PRESENTATION UNTIL THE FIRST
OR SECOND QUARTER OF NEXT YEAR BECAUSE THE PLANNING
COMMISSION IS NOT COMING BACK TO US UNTIL FEBRUARY.
THAT GIVES US TIME TO PUT TOGETHER A ROBUST PUBLIC
ENGAGEMENT PROCESS AND I THINK SEVERAL OF US PROBABLY
RECOMMENDED TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION BEFORE WE HIT THE
BUZZ SAW THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE MUCH MORE ROBUST PUBLIC
ENGAGEMENT AND SAID WE ALL HAD TO REACT TO IT AND THEN WE
HAVE HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF ANGRY PEOPLE.
SO TO AVOID THAT, I WOULD RECOMMEND A ROBUST PUBLIC
ENGAGEMENT PROCESS.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION ULTIMATELY DID ONE IN EACH DISTRICT
THAT WAS THEIR OFFICIAL ONES, ABOUT YOU IN MEETING WITH THE
NEIGHBORHOODS, WHAT WE DID IS WE GROUPED SOME OF THE
NEIGHBORHOODS TOGETHER BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T MEET WITH ALL
150 NEIGHBORHOODS, BUT PUT TWO OR THREE ADJACENT TOGETHER,
THEN COULD BE GROUPS OF NEIGHBORHOODS.
I'M HAPPY TO HELP YOU WITH THE PROCESS.
I THINK WE OUGHT TO PUT THAT IN PLACE AND LET EVERYBODY KNOW
WHAT THE PROCESS WILL BE.
AS THAT COMMUNICATION ABOUT THE PROCESS GETS OUT, IT WILL
ALLAY CONCERNS FOR WHEN THE ANNOUNCEMENT COMES OUT THAT IT'S

NOT A DONE DEAL, NOT FULLY BAKED.
AND ALSO, I THINK YOU HEARD THE OTHER NIGHT THERE WAS A
MISCOMMUNICATION SOMEHOW WHERE THE PLANNING COMMISSION
THOUGHT WE ONLY WANTED FEEDBACK ON TWO THINGS.
AND THEIR INPUT WEBSITE ONLY ANSWERED THOSE TWO QUESTIONS.
BUT THE PUBLIC SAID THEY WANTED TO ANSWER MORE QUESTIONS.
WHATEVER THAT PROCESS IS, YOU DON'T -- I APPRECIATE ALSO
YOUR FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY IN NOT WANTING TO GO OVER THE
BUDGET.
WHATEVER IN PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT, IN FAVOR OF MAKING IT MORE
ROBUST IF NOT ALREADY BECAUSE WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WE LISTEN
TO THE PUBLIC AND BUILD CONSENSUS AND BUY-IN ON IT.
LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU ON THAT.
AT SOME POINT, WHEN YOU WANT TO GIVE AN UPDATE, IF YOU COULD
UPDATE US ON THAT PROCESS AND GET BUY IN ON THAT, THAT WOULD
HELP A LOT GOING FORWARD.
11:45:40AM >>ABBYE FEELEY:
ABSOLUTELY.
I CAN ALSO SHARE WHAT CLARION -- I MEAN, WE HAVE A PUBLIC
ENGAGEMENT AS PART OF THE CONTRACT.
SO I CAN SHARE THAT, AND THEN WE COULD PROBABLY ENHANCE THAT
OR ADD TO THAT IN THE COMING MONTHS.
I CAN BRING THAT BACK OR MAKE SOME TIME TO SHARE THAT WITH
YOU.
11:46:00AM >>BILL CARLSON:
JUST ONE ADD-ON, THE BIG DISTRICT-WIDE
MEETINGS HAD A LOT OF PEOPLE.

BUT WHEN WE DID TWO OR THREE NEIGHBORHOODS, WE GOT LIKE 120
AT EACH ONE.
IT SHOWS THAT A LOT OF TIMES WHEN PEOPLE ARE DOING PUBLIC
ENGAGEMENT, THEY'LL DO LIKE ONE IN EACH DISTRICT, A COUPLE
OF MEETINGS.
PROBABLY WE NEED SOME KIND OF OPENING MEETING AND THEN THE
NEIGHBORHOOD THING.
IT MAKES A LOT MORE MEETINGS.
THE NEIGHBORHOODS LED, YOU MAY OR MAY NOT WANT THEM TO LEAD,
IF YOU'RE TRYING TO SAVE MONEY, THAT'S ONE WAY THE PLANNING
COMMISSION SAVED MONEY SO THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR
ORGANIZERS OF IT.
11:46:35AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
COUNCILMAN MIRANDA.
11:46:36AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
BEFORE WE GO ANY FURTHER IN THE ALLEYS, I
REALLY BELIEVE SOMEBODY HAS TO LOOK AT ALL THE ALLEYS OF
WEST TAMPA AND MEASURE THEM.
THEY ARE NOT UNIFORM.
YOU CAN GO FROM ARMENIA TO HIMES.
BY THE TIME YOU GET TO HIMES, IT'S TWO FEET SHORTER ON THE
SIDES IN SOME CASES.
I THINK SOMEBODY HAS TO STUDY THE ALLEYS.
11:46:58AM >>ABBYE FEELEY:
I DON'T WANT TO INTERRUPT YOU, COUNCILMAN,
THERE WAS -- THE CRA PAID FOR A WEST TAMPA ALLEY STUDY.
THAT STUDY HAS BEEN COMPLETED.
I'LL MAKE SURE THAT EVAN OR SOMEONE FROM THE CRA STAFF

REDISTRIBUTES THAT OUT TO YOU.
BUT THAT WAS DONE AND THEY WERE CATEGORIZED.
11:47:16AM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
THAT'S ALL I WANT TO KNOW.
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
TO START AN ALLEY DISCUSSION.
IT'S PART OF THE LDC.
THE WEST TAMPA WAS VERY CLEAR THAT THEY WANTED THAT OVERLAY.
I'M NOT GOING TO GO AGAINST THEM.
WE CAN DEBATE IT DURING LRC -- OR THE LDC, BUT I HAVE NO
APPETITE FOR OPENING IT AGAIN RIGHT NOW.
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
WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION, ONE WAS THE TRANSPORTATION
READY CORRIDORS AND THE OTHER WAS, WHAT DO WE CALL THEM,
COUNCILMAN CARLSON?
THE NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICTS.
ARE YOU INTEGRATING THOSE TWO CONCEPTS INTO YOUR LAND
DEVELOPMENT CODE?
11:48:08AM >>ABBYE FEELEY:
YES.
11:48:09AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
BEAUTIFUL.
THANK YOU.
APPRECIATE THAT.
ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS FROM COUNCIL?

HEARING NONE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE GREAT REPORT.
11:48:16AM >>ABBYE FEELEY:
THANK YOU.
11:48:17AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
OKAY.
NOW WE HAVE THE WALK-ON.
11:48:29AM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I WANTED TO OPEN THIS BECAUSE THIS IS
SOMETHING THAT WE KIND OF BROUGHT FORWARD.
WE HAD A LOT OF DISCUSSION.
I THINK YOU CAME IN AT THE TAIL END, BUT WE JUST HAD A
REVIEW HEARING WHERE WE ALL TALKED ABOUT HOW WE TALKED TO
YOU RECENTLY ABOUT A PARKING GARAGE IN EAST YBOR AND HOW --
I GUESS EVERYONE THOUGHT MIGHT BE THE ONLY ONE BUT IT WAS
VERY INTERESTING TO HEAR DOWN THE LINE HOW EVERYBODY IS
INTERESTED IN DOING MORE PUBLIC PARKING GARAGE TO HELP ON
SOME DEGREE WITH SOME OF THIS -- WITH SOME OF THE INFILL
HOUSING THAT WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO IN YBOR IF WE CAN'T GO
VERTICAL DUE TO THE HISTORIC NATURE OF THE COMMUNITY AND THE
NEIGHBORHOOD.
SO YOU'RE HERE TODAY TO TALK TO US ABOUT THE OVERALL GOAL
AND VISION FOR THE PARKING DEPARTMENT, NOT LIKE A SUPER DEEP
DIVE BUT NICE 30,000-FOOT VIEW.
I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR REACHING OUT TO ME AND
APPARENTLY ALL THE OTHERS TO TALK ABOUT THIS PLAN.
IT'S VERY EXCITING.
IT IS SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN NEEDED FOR A LONG TIME.

AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING ABOUT IT.
11:49:41AM >>FED REVOLTE:
GOOD MORNING, COUNCIL AND CHAIR.
FED REVOLTE, MOBILITY.
REALLY IT IS MORE OF A QUICK OVERVIEW OF THE PLAN FOR
PARKING, ESPECIALLY ON THE CIP SIDE.
JUST TO GIVE YOU GUYS A QUICK BACKGROUND, GOING BACK TO
BEFORE 2020, PARKING NEVER GENERATED ENOUGH REVENUE TO TAKE
CARE OF DEFERRED MAINTENANCE.
SO WE'RE TALKING OVER A DECADE OF OUTSTANDING MAINTENANCE
THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE.
WHEN I JOINED THE CITY BACK IN LATE 2019, THAT WAS THE FIRST
THING I WORKED ON IS CREATE A FIVE-YEAR PLAN TO INCREASE
RATES, MODERNIZE THE OTHER PARKING OPERATION ITSELF TO
GENERATE ENOUGH REVENUE TO TAKE CARE OF THE DEFERRED
MAINTENANCE.
SO WE STARTED BACK IN 2021 TO 2026, ACTUALLY, WITH A
FIVE-YEAR PLAN TO GENERATE ENOUGH REVENUE TO HANDLE THE
C.I.P.
WE HAD SOME TECHNOLOGY UPGRADE TO MAKE THE PROCESS MORE
EFFICIENT TO GENERATE MORE CUSTOMERS.
BUT FOR FY '26, SPECIFICALLY, WE ONLY INCLUDED MAJOR REPAIR
THAT'S BEEN NEEDED FOR PARKING, WHETHER IT IS THE ELEVATOR
REPAIRS, REPAIRS, ESPECIALLY THE RIVER GATE GARAGE, TALKED
ABOUT FOR YEARS.
FINALLY MOVING FORWARD WITH REPAIRS.

REITERATE EVERYTHING I TALKED TO YOU GUYS ABOUT AS FAR AS
THE PLAN FOR PARKING MOVING FORWARD.
I KNOW THERE'S BEEN CONVERSATION, PAVING PUBLIC
INFRASTRUCTURE, PUBLIC TRANSIT, JUST TO BE ON THE RECORD, I
AM ALL IN SUPPORT OF THAT.
THE GOAL IS REALLY TO INCORPORATE SOME OF THOSE MUCH-NEEDED
PARKING MAINTENANCE AND TO THE PLANS AS WELL AS WE MOVE
FORWARD.
GOING BACK FROM FY '2024, 2025 AND FY '26, IN TOTAL, WE'RE
TAKING OUT ALMOST 10 MILLION A YEAR IN THE PARKING FUND TO
SUPPORT THOSE OTHER PROJECTS.
THAT IS A LOT OF MONEY COMING OUT OF THE PARKING FUND THAT
COULD GO TOWARDS SOME OF THOSE PARKING REPAIRS.
THE OTHER PART IS, THE LONGER WE WAIT ON SOME OF THOSE
REPAIRS, THE MORE IT'S GOING TO COST US IN THE LONG RUN.
I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH YOU ALL TO SEE HOW
WE CAN REALLY LOOK INTO SETTING ASIDE FUNDING FOR PARKING TO
REPAIR THOSE MAJOR, MAJOR PARKING DEFERRED MAINTENANCE.
AS FAR AS LONG-TERM PLAN, ADDITIONAL PARKING STRUCTURE, WE
CAN TALK ABOUT THAT AS WELL.
EAST YBOR, THAT'S BEEN NOT JUST FOR THE PREVIOUS PROJECT
THAT WAS ON THE COMMUNITY ITSELF HAS BEEN ASKING FOR PARKING
ON THE EAST YBOR SIDE, ESPECIALLY FOR THE NIGHTTIME WORKERS,
THE PALM GARAGE ON THE WEST SIDE, IT'S HARD FOR A LOT OF
THEM TO GET TO THAT GARAGE WHEN THEY GET OFF AT 2, 3 IN THE

MORNING.
BUT WE HAVEN'T HAD THE FUNDING OR EVEN TALK ABOUT ADDING
SOME ADDITIONAL PARKING STRUCTURE.
BUT THAT IS SOMETHING I DO BELIEVE IS NEEDED IN THAT AREA,
ESPECIALLY AS WE GET MORE AND MORE DEVELOPMENTS WHERE --
AGAIN, THIS IS NOT ON THE ADMINISTRATION SIDE.
THIS IS JUST FROM WHAT WE SAW EARLIER.
IF YOU HAVE FOUR, FIVE STORY CAP AND THE FIRST TWO STORY OF
IT HAS TO BE PARKING, THERE IS NOT A WHOLE LOT OF ROOM FOR
THE ACTUAL PROJECT ITSELF.
SO I THINK HAVING PARKING ON THE EAST SIDE OF YBOR WILL
SERVE THE COMMUNITY AS WELL.
ALSO THE DOWNTOWN AS WELL, WHERE THE SURFACE LOTS -- NOT
SURE IF YOU SAW THE MASTER PLAN FOR THEA, ALL OF THOSE
SURFACE LOTS DO PLAN TO GO AWAY.
THAT'S A LOT OF REVENUE THAT THE PARKING DIVISION WILL LOSE
ITSELF.
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE AS WE DO A FIVE-YEAR PLAN, WE LOOK
INTO, OKAY, WHAT IF PARKING DOESN'T GENERATE THE SAME AMOUNT
OF REVENUE THAT HAS BEEN GENERATING, DO WE HAVE ENOUGH MONEY
TO MAINTAIN THE C.I.P. PROJECT?
FOR FY '26, WE'RE GOOD.
THE 10 MILLION IS ALL GOING TO MAJOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT
PROJECT.
THE SAME THING FOR 2027 AS WELL.

SO REALLY, AGAIN, IT'S MORE SO JUST WANT TO REITERATE TO YOU
ALL THAT OUR PLAN AND MY GOAL WHEN I DID THE INITIAL RATE
STUDY BACK IN 2019, 2020, WAS JUST TO HAVE ENOUGH MONEY FOR
PARKING TO TAKE CARE OF THE DEFERRED MAINTENANCE THAT'S BEEN
DELAYED FOR OVER A DECADE.
11:54:34AM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
11:54:38AM >>BILL CARLSON:
YEAH, I APPRECIATE YOU TAKING A LEADERSHIP
ROLE.
SADLY, I REALIZE IN TALKING TO YOU THE OTHER DAY AND
PREVIOUS CONVERSATIONS THAT WE HAVEN'T HAD YOU PRESENT TO US
AS MUCH AS WE PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE BECAUSE YOU HAD A VISION
GOING BACK TO, WHAT WAS IT --
11:54:54AM >>FED REVOLTE:
I JOINED THE CITY IN 2019.
GOING INTO MY SIXTH YEAR.
11:54:58AM >>BILL CARLSON:
WE SHOULD HAVE TALKED ABOUT IT MORE THEN.
THERE WAS THE WHOLE PUSH FOR THE PARKING RATE INCREASES.
TO THE PUBLIC, MUCH OF IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS A POLICY
DECISION TO TRY TO PUSH PEOPLE OUT OF PARKING AND NOT TO
DRIVE.
SO PEOPLE REALLY OBJECTED.
HAD THE PUBLIC REALLY KNOWN WHAT YOUR WHOLE VISION WAS, I
THINK THEY WOULD HAVE UNDERSTOOD.
I THINK IT'S TERRIBLE THAT DURING THE BIGGEST ECONOMIC BOON
IN AMERICAN HISTORY THAT NO MAINTENANCE OR VERY LITTLE
MAINTENANCE WAS DONE.

AND THE RATES WERE NOT ADJUSTED EITHER.
THERE SHOULD BE INCREMENTAL RATE BECAUSE IT WAS JARRING TO
THE PUBLIC TO HAVE TO RAISE THE RATES, AND IT'S GOING TO BE
JARRING TO THE BUDGET TO HAVE TO GO BACK AND DO DEFERRED
MAINTENANCE.
SHOULDN'T BE DEFERRED MAINTENANCE.
IT SHOULD ALL BE INCREMENTAL.
I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING HOW YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP US
TO MAKE SURE THAT WHOEVER IS IN CHARGE, THAT IT MOVES
FORWARD INCREMENTALLY AND NOT IN BIG JOLTS.
A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, WE RAIDED THE ELECTRONIC SIGNAGE
BUDGET WHICH I DIDN'T AGREE WITH BECAUSE THE MODERN WAY
PEOPLE RUN EVENTS AND I TALKED TO THE -- MODERN WAY PEOPLE
RUN EVENTS, THEY SEND THE PARKING INFORMATION IN ADVANCE.
YOU SHOULDN'T -- WHEN YOU GET UNDERNEATH THE TUNNEL AT THE
CONVENTION CENTER, THAT'S NOT THE POINT WHERE YOU SUDDENLY
DECIDE WHERE TO PARK.
WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WE'RE GETTING ALL THE VENUES, AND IT
SOUNDS LIKE VENUES ARE, GET THEM TO COMMUNICATE TO PATRONS
SO THEY KNOW WHERE TO PARK IN ADVANCE, EITHER BUY PARKING IN
ADVANCE OR KNOW WHERE THEY ARE GOING TO PARK.
SHOULDN'T BE MAKING LAST-MINUTE DECISIONS.
SOUNDS LIKE IT IS OKAY WITH THE LITTLE BIT OF MONEY WE
PULLED OUT LAST NIGHT BUT WE DEFINITELY NEED TO MAKE SURE WE
MAINTAIN THE MAINTENANCE.

DON'T LET US DEFER, ESPECIALLY STRUCTURAL MAINTENANCE.
WE NEED THAT DONE.
THE OTHER THING, I DON'T KNOW THAT IT'S UP TO US, I THINK WE
SHOULD START HAVING CONVERSATIONS WITH HCC.
30 YEARS SINCE THE DEAL WAS DONE WITH NORIEGA.
I BET A CREATIVE DEAL WE COULD CUT WITH HCC.
IF WE ADDED THE NORTHERN PART OF NORIEGA GARAGE, THAT WOULD
ADD MORE INVENTORY WITHOUT HAVING TO BUILD ANYTHING.
MAYBE A LAND SWAP OR SOME WAY WE CAN BUY THEIR REMAINING
INTEREST OR SOMETHING.
I KNOW THERE ARE OTHER PARCELS IN THE AREA.
WITHOUT PUTTING TOO MUCH ON THE TABLE, I HOPE WE CAN ENGAGE
WITH THAT.
IT'S BUILD.
THE INFRASTRUCTURE IS THERE.
I FORGOT TO MENTION THE SCANNERS GOING IN AND OUT, THAT IS A
GREAT TECHNOLOGY.
IT'S SO MUCH FASTER.
SO MUCH FASTER THAN THE -- GREAT IDEA AND GREAT TECHNOLOGY.
WHAT IT HAS TO DO IS MOVE PEOPLE IN AND OUT FASTER, WHICH IS
AN IMPORTANT CUSTOMER SERVICE GOAL.
EAST YBOR WE TALKED ABOUT.
IF YOU HAVE A PROPOSAL ON HOW TO DO THAT AND HOW TO FUND IT,
PLEASE COME TO US SOONER THAN LATER.
WITH THIS ADMINISTRATION, THIS COUNCIL, WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF

TIME.
SO ANY IDEAS YOU HAVE ON HOW TO DO IT, PLEASE COME FORWARD.
THE CITY OBVIOUSLY HAS A LOT OF LAND.
WE HAVE SURFACE PARKING LOTS.
MOST PEOPLE IN YBOR WOULD RATHER THE SURFACE PARKING LOTS
TURN INTO SOMETHING LARGER.
IDEALLY THEY WOULD HAVE RETAIL ON THE BOTTOM OR SOME KIND OF
ACTIVATION ON THE BOTTOM, MORE THAN ART DISPLAYS.
OTHER THING YOU AND I TALKED ABOUT AND MAYBE WANT TO COMMENT
ON, THERE IS A PHILOSOPHY THAT GOVERNMENT SHOULD OWN
SOMETHING AND MAKE A SURPLUS AND SPEND IT FOR SOME OTHER
PUBLIC GOOD.
THERE IS ANOTHER THEORY THAT GOVERNMENT SHOULD FILL GAPS IN
THE COMMUNITY THAT THE PRIVATE SECTOR AND NONPROFIT SECTOR
ARE NOT FILLING.
AN EXAMPLE OF THAT IS FORT BROOKE.
THAT WAS BUILT LIKE 40 YEARS AGO, 20, 30 YEARS AGO THEY
ADDED FOUR FLOORS.
IT SEEMS TO ME THAT ALTHOUGH YOUR POINT OF VIEW IS THAT'S
GENERATING A LOT OF CASH, ALSO IF SOMEBODY DID A CASH FLOW
PROJECTION ON THE VALUE OF IT, IT'S WORTH A LOT.
OUR CHOICE IN BUILDING A NEW GARAGE WOULD BE TO TAKE OUT
DEBT OR SELL ONE OF THE EXISTING ASSETS AND YOU TALKED ABOUT
ANOTHER LOCATION THAT I'LL LET YOU MENTION INSTEAD OF ME.
I'M NOT IN A HURRY TO SELL SOMETHING.

FORT BROOKE, BACK IN THE '80s, THAT WAS SERVING A PUBLIC
GOOD BY THE GOVERNMENT PARTNERING WITH THE QUAD COMPLEX
ACROSS THE STREET.
BUT NOW THAT THAT GARAGE IS FULL ALL THE TIME, NIGHT AND
DAY, IT'S MAKING MONEY, BUT THE CITY DOESN'T HAVE TO SERVE
THAT GOOD.
IT SEEMS LIKE THE CAPITAL COULD BE BETTER SPENT SOMEWHERE
ELSE WHERE WE CAN INCENTIVIZE GROWTH AND MAYBE IF IT IS
ALLOWED, THE CRA PARTICIPATE IN SOME WAY.
I THINK YOU HAVE A LOT OF EXPERIENCE IN PARKING.
IF YOU HAVE ANY KIND OF CREATIVE VISION, PLEASE COME TO US
AND TALK TO US ABOUT IT INDIVIDUALLY, COLLECTIVELY.
11:59:51AM >>FED REVOLTE:
APPRECIATE THAT.
WE'RE IN A DIFFERENT STAGE NOW BECAUSE PARKING JUST DID NOT
HAVE THE CAPITAL, THE FUND TO DISCUSS THOSE PROJECTS.
AS WE MOVE FORWARD WORKING WITH LEGAL, THE REAL ESTATE
DEPARTMENT, THAT WILL BE THE PLAN MOVING FORWARD.
12:00:09PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I DON'T KNOW WHY WE WANT TO SELL A SLOT
MACHINE.
12:00:14PM >>BILL CARLSON:
THE QUESTION IS, DO WE WANT TO TAKE OUT MORE
DEBT OR NOT?
12:00:18PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
AS LONG AS IT PAYS FOR ITSELF WITH THE
REVENUE GENERATED.
12:00:22PM >>BILL CARLSON:
THAT'S WITH ANY BUSINESS.
YOU DO A DISCOUNTED CASH FLOW ANALYSIS AND YOU FIGURE OUT

WHAT THE VALUE OF THE CASH IS AND YOU GET THE PRESENT VALUE.
I'M NOT SAYING THAT WE SHOULD SELL IT.
I'M SAYING -- BUT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO MAKE A CHOICE, IF
WE BUILD A NEW PARKING GARAGE, WHICH I THINK WE SHOULD BUILD
ONE, AT LEAST A COUPLE, ONE IN DOWNTOWN AND ONE IN YBOR,
HAVE TO EITHER BORROW MONEY, WHICH WE NEED TO FURTHER DEFINE
THE ENTERPRISE FUND WHICH I THINK IT'S NOT OFFICIALLY AN
ENTERPRISE FUND BUT BETTER PROTECT THE MONEY AND THEN LOOK
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
THAT A PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATION DID -- A VERY PROFITABLE
PARKING GARAGE.
12:01:09PM >>BILL CARLSON:
WE DEFINITELY SHOULDN'T FIRE SALE ANYTHING.
CAN YOU MENTION THE OTHER --
12:01:19PM >>FED REVOLTE:
WHITING STREET GARAGE.
IT'S PART OF THE RIA PROJECT THAT THE ADMINISTRATION
SUBMITTED.
WE'RE WAITING TO GET CONFIRMATION ON THAT.
I CAN'T DO ANYTHING YET UNTIL WE HEAR BACK.
12:01:34PM >>BILL CARLSON:
THE AIR RIGHTS ARE VERY VALUABLE IN THAT
CASE.
MAYBE THERE IS A CASE WHERE WE COULD KEEP THE CASH FLOW BUT
SOMEHOW MONETIZE THE AIR RIGHT.
12:01:44PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
ACTUALLY HAD CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THAT AS

WELL.
A COUPLE OF THINGS.
SOMEBODY REFRESH MY MEMORY.
TWO BUDGET CYCLES THAT I'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN THIS, BRINGING
MONEY OUT OF PARKING HAS NOT BEEN FROM OUR MAINTENANCE
BUDGET.
WE PROTECTED THE MAINTENANCE BUDGET THE LAST TWO CYCLES I'VE
BEEN INVOLVED IN.
WE TOOK MONEY FROM THE WANT, NOT THE NEEDS.
WE TOOK MONEY FROM THE PROJECTS OF THE ELECTRONICS --
12:02:10PM >>FED REVOLTE:
FOR FY '24.
LET'S SAY WE HAVE 30, 40 MILLION.
WE HAD 5 MILLION ALLOCATED FOR TECHNOLOGY.
BUT IF WE TAKE MONEY FROM FY '24, WE HAVE LESS MONEY TO
SPEND IN FY '25, FY '26.
RIGHT NOW FOR FY '26, WE ALREADY HAVE THE 7 MILLION
ALLOCATED FOR THE PAVING.
WE'LL DO THE 1.3 MILLION THAT COUNCIL MEMBER HURTAK DID THE
MOTION FOR IT LAST NIGHT.
ACTUALLY GOT A NEW FUND BALANCE FROM BUDGET.
RIGHT NOW PROJECTED FOR AT THE END OF FY '26, WE HAVE 2.1
MILLION.
WITH THE 1.35 COMING OUT, WE'LL STILL BE GOOD.
LEAVES ABOUT 700,000 TO WORK WITH.
BUT WE'RE IN GOOD SHAPE WITH THAT.

12:03:03PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
BARRING THE FY '26 DISCUSSION, THAT IS NOT
BAKED YET, I WANT TO RIGHT SET THIS BECAUSE I NEVER WOULD
HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN A VOTE TO TAKE MONEY AWAY FROM
MAINTENANCE.
12:03:15PM >>FED REVOLTE:
YOU ARE CORRECT.
FY '24, WE HAD THE MONEY ALLOCATED FOR TECHNOLOGY UPGRADE.
THAT'S WHAT WAS TAKEN FOR THE PAVING IN FY '24.
BUT FOR FY '25 AND FY '26, WE DON'T HAVE ANY TECHNOLOGY
BUDGETED, BUT THE MONEY CONTINUE TO BE TAKEN OUT.
12:03:34PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
WHAT WAS TAKEN OUT OF WHAT LINE ITEM FOR
'25?
12:03:37PM >>FED REVOLTE:
IT WAS FROM THE FUND BALANCE, PARKING FUND
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
TOWARD PAVING, ESSENTIALLY.
12:03:51PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I SEE MR. PERRY'S FACE IS ON MY MONITOR.
DID YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO ADD TO THAT, MR. PERRY?
OR YOU WANTED TO SHOW OFF -- YOU ARE ON MUTE.
YOU ARE MUTED.
STILL MUTED BUT YOU ARE LOOKING FABULOUS WITH THE HEADSET
ON.
TOTALLY STAR WARS.

YOU NEED TO BE IN A FIGHTER THING.
SORRY WE CAN'T HEAR YOU, MR. PERRY.
MY RECOLLECTION IS I DIDN'T VOTE ON NOT DOING MAINTENANCE.
12:04:24PM >>FED REVOLTE:
THAT'S CORRECT.
YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.
FY '25, FY '26, FOR EXAMPLE, WE ALREADY TAKE THE MONEY OUT
AND ALLOCATE IT TOWARD THE PAVING BEFORE GET TO COUNCIL.
MY GOAL IS TO HAVE A FIVE-YEAR PLAN TO WHERE WE ALREADY
ALLOCATE THE FUNDS TO MAJOR PARKING.
12:04:46PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
ANYBODY IN THE CITY LISTENING, ESPECIALLY
SOMETHING AS CRITICAL AS SAFETY RELATED, DEFERRED
MAINTENANCE, BRING THAT TO OUR ATTENTION.
I WILL BE VERY SENSITIVE, I'M SURE THE ENTIRE COUNCIL WOULD
BE AS WELL.
I DON'T THINK ANY ONE OF US WANT TO BE SITTING IN THE SEAT
AND DEFERRING REQUIRED MAINTENANCE BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT GOT
US TO WHERE WE ARE TODAY.
12:05:07PM >>FED REVOLTE:
FOR THE RECORD, MY CONVERSATION WITH EVERY
SINGLE ONE OF YOU HAS BEEN VERY SUPPORTIVE WHEN IT COMES TO
MAKING SURE WE HANDLE THE MAINTENANCE.
ELEVATORS, REPAIRS, ANYTHING, SAFETY, DEFERRED MAINTENANCE,
I HAVE THE FULL SUPPORT.
12:05:22PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU.
IT SHOULD GO ACROSS EVERY DEPARTMENT LINE IN THE CITY OF
TAMPA.

I DON'T THINK ANYBODY UP HERE WANTS TO BE SITTING IN THE
SEATS THINKING THAT WE'RE GOING TO CAUSE THE SAME PROBLEM
FOR FUTURE COUNCILS THAT HAVE BEEN HANDED OFF TO US WITH THE
DEFERRED MAINTENANCE.
COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
12:05:36PM >>BILL CARLSON:
JUST FOLLOWING ON SOMETHING MENTIONED ON
THIS.
AS I UNDERSTAND IT, IT'S NOT EXACTLY AN ENTERPRISE FUND.
BUT IF THERE IS A WAY TO PROTECT IT MORE, BY MORE
FORMALIZING IT WITH AN ORDINANCE, CAN YOU PLEASE TALK TO
LEGAL AND LET US KNOW?
WE CAN'T JUST TAKE MONEY OUT OF WATER AND SPEND IT SOMEWHERE
ELSE.
I KNOW BECAUSE IT IS MOBILITY.
THERE ARE STILL LIMITATIONS, BUT WITHIN THE PARKING
ENTERPRISE, NOW THAT YOU'VE TURNED IT INTO AN ENTERPRISE, IT
WAS LOSING MONEY BEFORE, BUT NOW THAT IT'S GENERATING CASH,
IF THERE IS A WAY WE CAN FURTHER PROTECT IT AS AN ENTERPRISE
SO WE CAN BE STRATEGIC ABOUT IT.
BECAUSE IT IS A STRATEGIC ISSUE IN THE CITY, WHERE AS
COUNCIL MEMBER HURTAK MENTIONED EARLIER, IN YBOR, SMALLER
DEVELOPERS WHO LIKE TO BUILD SMALLER PROJECTS BUT CAN'T
AFFORD TO BUILD THE PARKING AROUND IT.
CAPITAL INVESTMENT IN A PARKING GARAGE COULD REALLY HELP
REVITALIZE EAST YBOR, FOR EXAMPLE.

12:06:37PM >> I AGREE.
12:06:38PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION?
HEARING NO DISCUSSION, THIS FINISHES OUR BUSINESS ON THE
SCHEDULE UNTIL OUR 1:30 PUBLIC HEARING WHICH WE CAN'T DO
UNTIL 1:30.
IF YOU ALL WILL BE IN RECESS UNTIL 1:25 SO OUR BUTTS ARE IN
THE SEATS AND READY TO GO AT 1:30.

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

SECTION 27-319 OF THE CITY OF TAMPA CODE FOR FAILURE TO
TIMELY FILE THE REQUIRED DOCUMENTS FOR THE CITY AS MR.
COTTON HAS ALREADY LISTED.
ALL THOSE RESTAURANTS WERE LATE BUT IN COMPLIANCE.
IN LIGHT OF THE FACT THAT THESE ESTABLISHMENTS HAVE FULL

YOU KNOW THE SOUTH TAMPA PEOPLE.

YES, MA'AM.
01:57:13PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I WANT TO MAKE SURE ANYONE THAT IS HERE THAT
IS A GREEN RESTAURANT.
WHAT IT SAYS WE ARE FINDING THEM -- WE DID FIND THEM IN
VIOLATION.
DOES THAT MEAN THEY STILL OWE THE $100?
01:57:25PM >>ERIC COTTON:
NO, MA'AM, THEY ARE IN COMPLIANCE NOW.
THEY DID NOT FILE WITHIN THAT FIRST MONTH OF THE --
01:57:30PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I JUST WANTED FOLKS TO UNDERSTAND THEY DON'T
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:

DEPARTMENT.
FINDING OF VIOLATION 27-318 CARRIES A MAXIMUM SUSPENSION OF
UP TO 30 DAYS.
SECOND VIOLATION CARRIES WITH IT A POSSIBLE SUSPENSION OF UP
TO 60 DAYS.
AND A THIRD VIOLATION -- YOU KNOW A COMPOUNDING.
ALSO, I BELIEVE THE LATE FEE NEXT -- FOR A SECOND FAILURE TO
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:

01:58:55PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I SAW A HAND.
DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION?
IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION, YOU WOULD HAVE TO COME TO THE DAIS,
PLEASE.
IF YOU ARE ONE OF THESE RESTAURANTS THAT WERE LISTED THAT WE
JUST VOTED ON, YOU ARE NO LONGER REQUIRED TO STAY HERE.
YOU WOULDN'T BE PART OF THE BUSINESS.
01:59:13PM >> I AM TRANSLATING FOR MY MOM.
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
DRIVE.
02:00:08PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
WHAT WAS THAT AGAIN, I AM SORRY?
02:00:12PM >> SHE WASN'T SURE.

IT ALREADY HAS BEEN SUBMITTED TO THE CITY.
WE HAVE A COPY OF IT.
02:00:26PM >> THANK YOU, GUYS, SORRY.
02:00:28PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
BYE-BYE.
OKAY, VERY GOOD.
I LIKE IT WHEN THEY ARE EASY.
VERY GOOD.
MR. COTTON.
02:00:35PM >>ERIC COTTON:
ERIC COTTON, LAND DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
THE NEXT LIST YOU ARE GOING TO COME ACROSS ARE THE ONES
HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW.
THESE ARE THE INDIVIDUALS THAT -- INDIVIDUAL ESTABLISHMENTS
THAT HAVE COME INTO PARTIAL COMPLIANCE.
SOME OF THEM HAVE SUBMITTED THE REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION BUT
NOT THE LATE FEE.
THEY SUBMITTED THE LATE FEE BUT NOT THE DOCUMENTATION OR
PARTIAL DOCUMENTATION AND THE LATE FEE.
FOR THOSE, STAFF IS RECOMMENDING A SEVEN-DAY SUSPENSION,
BUT, AGAIN, UP TO CITY COUNCIL'S DISCRETION ON -- ON YOUR
ACTION.
I AM GOING TO DO THE SAME THING AND GO THROUGH THE NAMES AND
THE BUSINESS NAMES AND THE ADDRESS.
CRAVE RESTAURANT AND LOUNGE -- YES, SIR?
02:01:17PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
HELPFUL TO IDENTIFY WHAT THE VIOLATION IS
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
FOR THAT.
I APOLOGIZE.
02:01:26PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THAT'S GOOD.
02:01:27PM >>ERIC COTTON:
CRAVE RESTAURANT AND LOUNGE, 2001 EAST FOWLER.
CASA MEXICANA, 3642 WEST GANDY BOULEVARD.
LIANG'S BISTRO, 17515 BRUCE B. DOWNS.
DeVITO ITALIAN SPECIALTIES, 200 NORTH TAMPA STREET.

02:02:08PM >>ERIC COTTON:
I HAVE A REPEAT.
I HAVE IT ON TWO.
EBBE AT 1202 NORTH FRANKLIN.
AND EDISON FOOD+DRINK LAB AT 912-918 WEST KENNEDY BOULEVARD.
THOSE, AGAIN, HAVE COME INTO PARTIAL COMPLIANCE AND
SUBMITTED SOME OF DOCUMENTATION OR PAID THE FEES BUT NOT IN
FULL COMPLIANCE YET.
02:02:29PM >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ:
SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ, LEGAL
DEPARTMENT.
BECAUSE THE REASONS FOR NOT COMING INTO FULL COMPLIANCE MAY
DIFFER, I SUGGEST THAT COUNCIL TAKE EACH OF THESE
INDIVIDUALLY AND PERHAPS CALL EACH RESTAURANT UP
INDIVIDUALLY AND THEN THE MOTION I PROVIDED ON YOUR SAMPLE
MOTION SHEET IS THE ONE THAT GOT THE YELLOW HIGHLIGHTING ON
IT.
I TRIED TO DO YELLOW LETTERING, BUT IT WAS HARD TO READ.
THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT YOU CAN USE FOR THESE PARTICULAR
ONES.
02:02:58PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
WITHOUT THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE
VIOLATION --
02:03:10PM >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ:
VIOLATION IS THE SAME.
THE VIOLATION THAT THEY FAILED TO TIMELY --
02:03:15PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THE PENALTY.
WE HAVE TO WEIGH OUT THE GRAVITY OF THE SITUATION.
02:03:18PM >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ:
APPROPRIATE TO ASK THEM IF THEY PAID
THE FEE.
SUBMITTED THE REPORTS.
WHAT ASPECTS THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO COMPLY WITH OR HAVE NOT
COMPLIED WITH.
02:03:28PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
OKAY, THANK YOU.
02:03:29PM >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ:
YOU ARE WELCOME.
02:03:31PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THIS WILL BE DIFFERENT THAN THE FIRST ONE.
ONE RESTAURANT AT A TIME.
REPRESENTATIVE HERE FOR CRAVE RESTAURANT & BAR AT 2001
EAST FOWLER AVENUE?
NO?
OKAY.
SHOULD WE ACT ON THEM ONE AT A TIME?
IS THERE A REPRESENTATIVE FROM CASA MEXICANA BAR AND GRILL,
3642 WEST GANDY?
GOOD AFTERNOON.
02:04:08PM >> HI.
GOOD AFTERNOON.
02:04:10PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
START WITH YOUR NAME FIRST PLEASE.
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
NAME.
02:04:21PM >> MY NAME IS SIRIA VELASQUE,Z AND MY MOM WHO IS THE OWNER OF
CASA MEXICANA.
WE DID RECEIVE THE NOTICE.
AND I DID -- I AM THE ONE THAT IS ALWAYS IN CHARGE OF
SENDING THE PAPERS.
I DID NOTICE THAT I SUBMITTED THE PAPER LATE DUE TO OUR --
OUR ACCOUNTING NOT SUBMITTING IT FAST FOR US.
BUT THEY SAID THAT WE HAVE TO PAY A FEE.
I DID NOT PAY A FEE.
I NEVER RECEIVED A LETTER ABOUT THE FEE.
I KNOW IN OUR PLAZA, WE GET MIXED UP SOMETIMES.
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WAS THE CASE.
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT NO FEE.
ALAN CLENDENIN: OKAY.
OTHER THAN THAT, THE ONLY VIOLATION.
SUBMITTED THE LETTER BUT DID NOT GET A NOTIFICATION OF A
FEE.
02:05:04PM >> NO.
02:05:05PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
STAFF, HOW DO WE CONFIRM THAT -- IS IT A
RESTAURANT OWNER.
HOW DO THEY KNOW ABOUT THIS LATE FEE?
02:05:11PM >> I KNOW FROM -- WHEN I RECEIVED THE COURT LETTER, THEY
MADE ME SIGN, AND I SPECIFICALLY SIGNED FOR THAT COURT WHEN I
RECEIVED THE SPECIFIC LETTERS, BUT I NEVER RECEIVED THE
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.
WE SEND OUT CERTIFICATE OF MAIL.
NOT CERTIFIED.
IT IS ALLOWED IN THE CODE AND LITTLE LESS EXPENSIVE FOR THE
CITY TO SEND IT OUT THAT WAY.
CODE REQUIRES THIS INFORMATION TO BE DONE, AND WE HAVE THAT
EXTRA FOLLOW FOLLOW-UP.
WE WOULD SEND OUT A CERTIFICATE OF MAIL TO THE ADDRESS ON
FILE IN OUR SYSTEM.
WHAT HAPPENS TO IT ONCE IT LEAVES THE OFFICE AND THE MAIL --
AND THE U.S. POSTAL SERVICE GETS A HOLD OF IT, I CAN'T
ANSWER THAT QUESTION, BUT WE DID SEND OUT THE LETTER TO THE
-- TO THE INDIVIDUALS.
02:06:02PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
OKAY.
02:06:04PM >>ERIC COTTON:
YES, IT IS IN THE CODE.
REQUIREMENTS ARE IN THE CODE.
I UNDERSTAND WHAT SHE IS SAYING SHE DIDN'T RECEIVE IT.
BUT IT WAS SENT OUT.
EVERYBODY ON THE LIST RECEIVED -- BASED ON INFORMATION WHEN
THEY GOT THEIR ALCOHOL APPROVED TO THE CITY, THAT IS THE
ADDRESS WE SEND IT TO.
02:06:25PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I AM ASSUMING THAT WE SHOULD DEAL WITH
THESE ONE AT A TIME THEN.
ANYBODY ON COUNCIL WHO WISHES TO MAKE A MOTION ON THE FINDINGS
IN THIS CASE?
ANYBODY ELSE IN THE PUBLIC TO WISHES TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM?
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.
MR. CARLSON, THAT'S CORRECT.
THEY HAVE TO PAY THE $100 FEE.
02:07:01PM >>BILL CARLSON:
WHATEVER MOTION WE MAKE WILL BE SUBJECT TO
PAYING THE FEE.
02:07:04PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THAT WILL HAVE TO BE INCLUDED IN COUNCIL'S
MOTION.
WHO WOULD LIKE TO DO THIS?
02:07:12PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
SO MISS JOHNSON-VELEZ, QUICK QUESTION.
APOLOGIES TO THE RESTAURANTS.
WE HAVEN'T DONE THIS IN A WHILE.
SO COULD WE SAY -- COULD WE PUT -- COULD WE SAY IF WE DON'T
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.
THE THIRD -- I AM SORRY THE 12th.
I AM WAY AHEAD.
I APOLOGIZE.
IF WE DON'T RECEIVE IT BY FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 4 P.M., THAT
WE THEN HAVE A SEVEN-DAY -- THEN THAT'S WHEN IT KICKS IN.
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
OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT.
BUT IF THEY DON'T COME IN BY THAT 4:00 OR 5:00 --
WHATEVER YOU ALL RECOMMEND.
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
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.
ERIC COTTON, LAND DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
EITHER DATE IS FINE.
BECAUSE WHAT WILL HAPPEN AFTER THIS, IF THEY NEGLECTED TO
PAY THE FEE, THAT MONDAY WE WILL POST ON THE PROPERTY AND SEND
OUT A CERTIFIED MAIL TELLING THEM THEY ARE SUSPENDED.
02:08:39PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
WOULD GO FROM MONDAY, NOT FROM SATURDAY.
EXCELLENT.
LET'S DO THAT.
02:08:43PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I HAVE A QUESTION REAL QUICK.
THESE RESTAURANTS, DOCUMENTATION THIS IS THEIR FIRST
VIOLATION, RIGHT?
02:08:52PM >>ERIC COTTON:
YOU RECALL DURING COVID, THE STATE WAS
FLEXIBLE WITH RESTAURANTS WHAT THEY CAN DO, SERVE AND WHAT
THEY CAN SELL.
TO GO BECAME A THING WITH ALCOHOL, AND YOU COULD GET MARGARITAS
TO GO AND STUFF.
SO WE DIDN'T.
STILL GETTING THE PEOPLE REPORTING, BUT WEREN'T BRINGING THEM
BACK TO CITY COUNCIL.
SO MAKE -- TO ME, TO MAKE IT IN ALL FAIRNESS TO PEOPLE
INVOLVED, INCLUDING THE BUSINESSES ESTABLISHMENTS, WE
STARTED OFF THIS IS THE FIRST VIOLATION.
02:09:17PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THAT IS GOOD ENOUGH.
02:09:19PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
GOOD.
I THINK THAT IS GREAT.
SO I WILL MAKE THE MOTION TO FIND THAT CASA MEXICANA BAR &
GRILL ON 3642 WEST GANDY BOULEVARD IN VIOLATION OF 24-319 OF
THE CITY OF TAMPA CODE FOR FAILURE TO FILE THE REQUIRED
DOCUMENTS FOR THE CITY.
IN LIGHT OF THE ACTION TAKEN BY THE VIOLATOR TO CORRECT THE
VIOLATION BUT THE LACK OF -- I WILL SAY BY ACTION TAKEN BY
THE VIOLATOR TO CORRECT THE VIOLATION, THAT CITY COUNCIL
SUSPEND THE ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE PERMIT ESTABLISHMENT -- AT
THIS ESTABLISHMENT FOR SEVEN DAYS STARTING ON -- PLEASE GIVE
ME THE DATE -- SEPTEMBER 15th?
02:10:15PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:

02:10:16PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
SO WILL BE THE 15TH.
SEPTEMBER -- AT 12:01 A.M. SEPTEMBER 15, IF WE HAVE NOT
RECEIVED PAYMENT BY CLOSE OF BUSINESS, I.E. 5 P.M. ON

02:10:41PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
DOES THAT WORK FOR A MOTION?
02:10:44PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
YOU HAVE TO RESTATE THIS, YOU SAID 24 --
IT IS 27.
02:10:48PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I SAID 24?
I APOLOGIZE, IT IS 27-319.
THANK YOU.
02:10:54PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
OKAY.
WE HAVE A MOTION --
02:10:59PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?
02:11:00PM >> I HAVE UNTIL THAT DAY.
02:11:02PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
YOU HAVE UNTIL NEXT FRIDAY.
02:11:04PM >> I DON'T PAY IT, THEN I GET THE SEVEN-DAY SUSPENSION.
02:11:07PM >> OKAY, CAN I KNOW WHERE I CAN PAY IT?
02:11:11PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
BUT DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?
02:11:14PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
WHY DON'T WE FINISH THIS BUSINESS BEFORE
YOU GO OUTSIDE.
A MOTION FROM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
DO WE HAVE A SECOND?
02:11:21PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
SECOND.
02:11:22PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
OPPOSED?
THE AYES HAVE IT UNANIMOUSLY.
02:11:26PM >> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
02:11:27PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
ADIOS.
OKAY.
LIANG'S BISTRO AT 17515 BRUCE B. DOWNS.
02:11:55PM >> GOOD AFTERNOON.
02:11:57PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
SO WHY ARE YOU HERE?
WHAT IS YOUR NONCOMPLIANCE?
START WITH YOUR NAME, PLEASE.
02:12:04PM >> SORRY, FIRST NAME IS LINDA.
LAST NAME IS LIANG.
I AM THE OWNER OF THE RESTAURANT.
02:12:10PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
LIANG'S BISTRO?
02:12:13PM >> YES, SIR.
I'M HERE BECAUSE THE REPORT WAS FILED LATE.
AND I NEVER RECEIVED $100 FINE FOR WHATEVER REASON.
BUT I DID PAY.
AND I DID SUBMIT A REPORT.
I CALLED THE PERSON ON THE LETTER, MARLA.
THE LADY I TALKED TO.
SHE DIRECTED ME TO SUBMIT A PAYMENT.
AND THERE IS ANOTHER PAPER I NEED TO NOTARIZE.
I THINK THE REASON I AM STILL HERE IS BECAUSE ON THE REPORT,
IT DOESN'T SAY I NEED TO SUBMIT THE AUDIT FROM THE INSURANCE
AS WELL.
BUT IF YOU LOOK AT ALL THOSE REPORTS FOR ALL THOSE YEARS,
OUR ALCOHOL SALES IS ALWAYS LESS THAN 3%.
LAST YEAR WAS 1%.
AND NEVER OVER 5%.
SO THE INSURANCE, THEY NEVER DID AN AUDIT IN THE PAST.
AND THE REASON THE REPORT WAS LATE WAS BECAUSE -- THERE ARE
TWO REASONS.
THE FIRST REASON WAS MY DAD PASSED AWAY ON APRIL 5.
I HAVE -- I HAVE HIS DEATH CERTIFICATE AS PROOF.
I WAS FLYING TO NEW YORK BACK AND FORTH, BACK AND FORTH AND
SLIPPED OUT OF MY MIND.
THE SECOND REASON IS -- NOT REALLY A REASON, I APOLOGIZE.
BUT I THOUGHT THAT IT IS DUE MAY 31.
SO I DID ACTUALLY E-MAIL THE REPORT ON MAY 26, E-MAIL AS
PROOF.
NOT REALLY AN EXCUSE.
BUT KIND OF LIKE, YOU KNOW, WHY.
BECAUSE I THOUGHT THAT.
AND ALSO MY DAD PASSED AWAY.
IT SLIPPED OUT OF MY MIND.
AND I DON'T KNOW WHY THE $100 FINE IS NOT RECEIVED BECAUSE I
WAS SO BEHIND ON MY ACCOUNTING.
I HAVE BEEN FLYING TO NEW YORK ALMOST ONE OR TWO TIMES A
MONTH TO HELP MY DAD IN THE HOSPITAL WITH A HOME AIDE.
EVERYTHING BECAUSE HEALTH WENT DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY, AND IT WAS
GETTING WORSE AND WORSE.
ALL MY STUFF ARE BEHIND.
I GOT SO MANY LETTERS -- SO MANY LETTERS TO OPEN AFTER I
CAME BACK.
THEY MIGHT BE IN THE PILE, WHATEVER.
IT COULD ACCIDENTALLY HAVE BEEN MIXED WITH SOMETHING ELSE.
BUT I NEVER SEEN IT, AND I APOLOGIZE.
02:14:43PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
JUST TO BE CLEAR.
IN YOUR OPINION, THE ONLY REASON YOU ARE NOT IN COMPLIANCE
AS OF THIS DATE IS THAT THE CITY IS SAYING THEY HAVE NOT
RECEIVED YOUR $100, IS THAT CORRECT?
02:14:53PM >> NO, I DID PAY $100.
I DID PAY.
02:14:56PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THEN JUST THE -- THE AUDIT THAT THEY ARE
MISSING?
02:15:02PM >> YEAH, SAYS AUDIT, IN THE PAST, I NEVER SUBMITTED AN
AUDIT.
I DON'T KNOW -- AND MY ALCOHOL SALES WERE LOW, SO THEY NEVER
DID AN AUDIT ANYWAY.
ALAN CLENDENIN: LET'S HEAR FROM MR. COTTON IF YOU CAN STEP
ASIDE.
02:15:17PM >>ERIC COTTON:
ERIC COTTON, LAND DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
THOSE INDIVIDUALS WHO -- DON'T HAVE INSURANCE FOR THE
ESTABLISHMENT OR FOR THE ALCOHOL COVERAGE OR DON'T DO THE
AUDIT, WE SUGGEST THEM TO GIVE A NOTARIZED STATEMENT SAYING
I DON'T HAVE AN INSURANCE AUDIT, AND WE TAKE THAT FOR WHAT IT
IS WORTH.
IF -- THAT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN COMMUNICATED TO HER.
WE HAVE -- IF YOU ARE AWARE, THE STAFF IS RELATIVELY NEW TO
WHAT WE ARE DOING HERE.
SO THAT IS PROBABLY -- PROBABLY WHAT HAPPENED.
AND THEY NEVER INFORMED HER SHE COULD JUST PROVIDE HER WITH
A STATEMENT.
SHE CAN STILL DO THAT AGAIN MUCH SIMILAR TO THE PEOPLE THAT
WERE STILL UP.
02:15:56PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
WE CAN DO THIS MOTION AND GIVE HER UNTIL NEXT
FRIDAY TO PROVIDE THAT NOTARIZED INFORMATION.
WILL THAT WORK FOR YOU?
02:16:04PM >> YES, MA'AM.
DO I JUST PUT IT ON THE -- BECAUSE I -- I HAVE THE REPORT
HERE.
DO I PUT IT RIGHT HERE?
BECAUSE I DID SUBMIT THIS --
02:16:13PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
IF WE CAN GET THROUGH THIS PART, THEN THE TWO
OF YOU CAN GO OUTSIDE AND FIGURE OUT HOW TO SUBMIT THAT.
DOES THAT WORK?
02:16:21PM >> YES, MA'AM.
02:16:21PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK, WOULD YOU LIKE TO
READ THIS.
02:16:26PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
SURE.

YOU HAVE SEEN THE ROUTINE.

EXPLAIN YOU'RE HERE TODAY.
02:19:17PM >> WE ARE HERE TODAY BECAUSE MY DAD HAS BEEN A RESTAURANT
OWNER FOR A LONG TIME.
WE HAD AN ACCOUNTANT AS LONG AS MY DAD HAS BEEN OPENED.
WE RECENTLY GOT UNDER NO NEW COUNSEL.
APPARENTLY, THINGS WE ARE MISSING AND TRANSFER OF INFORMATION
HAS NOT BEEN COMPLETE.
WE RECEIVED SOME OF THE LETTERS IN THE MAIL.
ONCE WE REALIZED THINGS WERE MISSING, HE CALLED ME.
I GOT INVOLVED.
AND WE ARE TRYING TO RECTIFY THE WHOLE SITUATION.
BECAUSE WE WERE UNBEKNOWNST TO ANY OF THIS.
02:19:46PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
WHAT DO YOU FEEL IS STILL OUTSTANDING TO
BE IN COMPLIANCE?
02:19:51PM >> WELL, I BROUGHT SOME OF THE STUFF WE DID RECEIVE.
SO WE PAID THE LATE FEE, AND WE ALSO SUBMITTED THE ANNUAL
REPORT.
AND THEN THERE WAS SOME COMPLICATIONS OF TRYING TO GET A
LETTERHEAD OR SOMETHING STATING THAT OUR INSURANCE DIDN'T DO
AN AUDIT.
AND SO THAT WAS KIND OF CONFUSING.
SO MY DAD WAS LIKE, HEY, JUST GO TODAY TO SHOW THAT, YOU
KNOW, WE ARE WILLING TO DO WHATEVER IT TAKES.
02:20:13PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I THINK YOU HEARD FROM STAFF IN THE LAST
CASE.
SOMETIMES AUDITS ARE NOT REQUIRED, AND YOU CAN DO A CERTIFIED
LETTER.
WHAT PERCENTAGE DOES YOUR INSURANCE REQUIRE, ERIC?
THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T HAVE AN AUDIT.
02:20:27PM >>ERIC COTTON:
SAME AS THIS LADY.
02:20:29PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
APPEARS IT IS THE SAME.
LET ME ASK THE APPLICANT, WHY YOU DIDN'T HAVE AN AUDIT?
02:20:42PM >> I AM NOT SURE WHY WE DIDN'T HAVE AN AUDIT.
ONCE WE ASKED THAT, IT WASN'T CLEARLY STATED.
WE ARE HERE TO BE POINTED IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION OURSELVES.
02:20:52PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
OKAY.
02:20:53PM >>ERIC COTTON:
ERIC COTTON, LAND DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.

ONLY THING WE HAVEN'T SUBMITTED IS THE INSURANCE AUDIT
BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE ONE.
WE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND IF YOU DON'T HAVE ONE, YOU JUST
SIMPLY SUBMIT A WRITTEN NOTARIZED DOCUMENT SAYING NO AUDIT.
I NOW UNDERSTAND WE CAN DO THAT BY FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12,
WHICH WE WILL DO.
02:24:22PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
PENDING THE MOTION, QUESTION?
02:24:25PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
MR. COTTON, JUST A QUICK QUESTION.
WHAT IS THE -- WHAT IS THE THRESHOLD GENERALLY FOR
PERCENTAGE OF ALCOHOL THAT GENERALLY USES -- DOESN'T MATTER?
02:24:36PM >>ERIC COTTON:
I DON'T KNOW THAT.
DEPENDS ON THE INSURANCE THAT PEOPLE CARRY ON THEIR
BUSINESS.
02:24:41PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH US THEN JUST WANTED TO
DOUBLE CHECK.
02:24:47PM >> JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, WE PAID THE FINE.
SUBMITTED THE ANNUAL REPORT.
DID SUBMIT THE SALES RECORD, AND WE DID SUBMIT THE
ACKNOWLEDGMENT FORM.
ALAN CLENDENIN: ONLY THING OUTSTANDING IS THIS AFFIDAVIT.
02:25:00PM >> THAT'S CORRECT.
02:25:02PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
SINCE I AM ON A ROLL, I WILL DO THESE
TWO AND THEN MAYBE SOMEBODY ELSE.
MOVE THAT EBEE --
02:25:09PM >> EBEE.
CHEF'S NAME.
02:25:12PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
MOVE TO FIND THAT EBEE AT 1202 N. FRANKLIN
STREET IS IN VIOLATION OF SECTION 27-319 OF THE CITY OF TAMPA,
CODE FOR FAILURE TO FILE THE REQUIRED DOCUMENTS WITH THE CITY
AND ACTIONS TO CORRECT THE VIOLATION AND THAT CITY COUNCIL
SUSPEND THE ALCOHOL BEVERAGE PERMIT AT THIS ESTABLISHMENT
FOR SEVEN DAYS STARTING AT 12:01 A.M. AT MONDAY, SEPTEMBER
15, 2025 IF THE RECORD HAVE NOT BEEN RECEIVED -- IF THE
MISSING DOCUMENTATION HAS NOT BEEN RECEIVED BY FRIDAY,
SEPTEMBER 12, 2025 AT CLOSE BUSINESS.
02:25:49PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
SECOND.
02:25:51PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
4 P.M.
02:25:52PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I HAVE BEEN SAYING CLOSE OF BUSINESS.
02:25:59PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
A MOTION FROM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK AND
SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER MANISCALCO.
ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
OPPOSED.
PASSED UNANIMOUSLY -- EXCUSE ME, REPRESENTATIVE
OF EBEE COME UP AND STATE YOUR NAME.
02:26:15PM >> MARC TILLER.
02:26:18PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
ANYBODY HEAR REPRESENTING EDISON FOOD AND DRINK LAB?
NONE?
OKAY.
SO WE HAVE ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX -- SORRY, FIVE.
I LOST TRACK.
READ THOSE ONES.
02:26:39PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I HAVE THAT WE HAVE NOT -- WE DID NOT HAVE
ANY REPRESENTATION FROM CRAVE RESTAURANT AND BAR, DeVITO'S,
BLAZE PIZZA STORE NUMBER 1537, CARRIBEAN TWIST, LCC, AND
EDISON FOOD AND DRINK LAB.
BLAZE WAS LISTED TWICE.
02:26:56PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
WHY I MESSED UP.
02:26:58PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
YES.
02:26:59PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
COUNCIL.
02:27:01PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
DO WE GO AHEAD AND DO THE SEVEN?
02:27:06PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
TALK WITH MISS SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ.
02:27:08PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I WILL STILL START ON THE 15TH.
02:27:12PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
THE QUESTION IS DO YOU WANT TO ADDRESS HOW
TO TREAT THESE?
BECAUSE YOU, IN EFFECT, HAD A PARTIAL SUBMITTAL BUT HAVE NOT
FOR THIS HEARING.
02:27:26PM >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ:
CORRECT.
02:27:28PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
THEY DID NOT SHOW UP TODAY, AND THEY ARE
STILL NOT IN COMPLIANCE.
02:27:32PM >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ:
THAT'S CORRECT.
IF YOU WANT TO CONFIRM THAT WITH MR. COTTON.
HE HAS THE RECORDS THAT PUT TOGETHER THIS LIST.
02:27:43PM >>ERIC COTTON:
ERIC COTTON, LAND DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
AS OF MONDAY AFTERNOON, WHICH IS WHEN WE STARTED COMPILING
THIS LIST, THEY HAVE NOT COME INTO COMPLIANCE.
02:27:58PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
FULL COMPLIANCE.
02:27:59PM >>ERIC COTTON:
CORRECT, FULL COMPLIANCE.
THEY KNEW ABOUT THE HEARING AND REQUIRED TO BE HERE.
IT SAYS SO ON THE NOTICE OF THE SUSPENSION HEARING.
02:28:06PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
HOW ABOUT THIS.
WHY DON'T I DO A SIMILAR MOTION AND SAY -- BECAUSE IF WE
MAKE THIS MOTION AND STARTS AT 12:01 ON SEPTEMBER 15, MISS
JOHNSON-VELEZ, WILL THEY GET A NOTIFICATION OF THAT?
02:28:23PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
CERTIFIED LETTER.
02:28:24PM >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ:
SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ.
WE TAKE THE ORDERS -- WHEN PEOPLE ORDER THAT SUSPENSION, AN
ORDER OF THE ESTABLISHMENT.
THEY WILL BE AWARE OF YOUR ACTION TODAY.
02:28:35PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
GREAT.
THAT IS WHAT WE DO AND SAY IF YOU DON'T COME INTO COMPLIANCE
BY FRIDAY WITH WHATEVER YOU ARE MISSING.
02:28:42PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
SO QUESTION FOR YOU.
BECAUSE NOW I AM -- BECAUSE OF SO MANY OF THESE, IS IT TO BE
THAT WE HAVE ADDRESS ISSUES, AND YOU SEND A CERTIFIED --
HOW WAS THAT PERSON NOTIFIED.
02:28:51PM >> WE SENT CERTIFIED MAILINGS TO THE PROPERTY OWNER -- AT
LEAST AS MUCH AS THE STATE RECORDS REFLECTED.
NOW I DIDN'T BRING THAT DOWN.
WE DID RECEIVE BACK A NUMBER OF LETTERS, BUT I HAVE GREEN
CARD FOR THE ONES WE HAVE BACK.
IF COUNCIL WANTS TO PUT THESE TO THE END OF THE HEARINGS AND
TAKE UP THE NEXT SEGMENT, I CAN --
02:29:14PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I'M CONCERNED AS WE MOVE FORWARD ENSURING
IF THERE IS A DISCONNECT ON THE CITY SIDE, THAT IS --
02:29:22PM >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ:
BECAUSE I DID A LOT OF IT MYSELF,
WE DID CROSS REFERENCE WHAT WE HAD IN OUR CITY RECORDS WITH
THE DEPARTMENT RECORDS AND THE DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS
REGULATION AND SUN BIZ RECORDS.
02:29:37PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
SOUNDS LIKE DUE DILIGENCE WAS DONE.
02:29:41PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
FROM MY UNDERSTANDING SOMEONE WILL GO OUT IN
PERSON TO DELIVER IT?
IS THAT THE CASE, MR. COTTON?
02:29:48PM >>ERIC COTTON:
YES, MA'AM, STAFF GOES OUT AND POSTS IT.
EITHER.
WE HAVE CODE ENFORCEMENT STAFF ON THE CITY TO POST IT AND
TAKE A PHOTO TO ENSURE THAT THE PERSON HAS BEEN NOTIFIED.
02:30:08PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I THINK THAT IS REASONABLE.
WE WON'T START RIGHT AWAY.
GIVE THEM A WEEK AND THEN THEY CAN COME INTO COMPLIANCE.
02:30:14PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
02:30:15PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
DO EACH OF THESE INDIVIDUALLY?
02:30:20PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
DO YOU SEE A NEED FOR THEM INDIVIDUALLY?
02:30:23PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I WILL DO THEM TOGETHER.
CRAVE RESTAURANT AND BAR AT 2001 EAST FOWLER AVENUE.
DeVITO'S ITALIAN SPECIALTIES AT 200 NORTH TAMPA STREET.
BLAZE NUMBER 1357 AT 5114 EAST FOWLER AVENUE.
CARRIBEAN TWIST LCC AT 3328 WEST COLUMBUS DRIVE.
CARRIBEAN DRINK LAB AT 912 AND 918 WEST KENNEDY BOULEVARD.
THE ARE IN VIOLATION OF SECTION 27-319 OF THE CITY OF TAMPA CODE
FOR FAILURE TO TIMELY FILE THE REQUIRED DOCUMENTS WITH THE CITY.
AND IN LIGHT OF ACTIONS TAKEN BY THE VIOLATOR TO CORRECT AT
LEAST SOME OF THE VIOLATIONS, THAT CITY COUNCIL SUSPEND THE
ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE PERMIT AT THIS ESTABLISHMENT FOR SEVEN
DAYS BEGINNING AT 12:01 A.M. MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 2025,
UNLESS THE DOCUMENTATION AND FINES ARE SUBMITTED TO THE CITY
OF TAMPA BY CLOSE OF BUSINESS 5 P.M. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12,
2025.
02:31:31PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
SECOND.
02:31:32PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
A MOTION FROM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
A SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER MANISCALCO.
ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
OPPOSED?
AYES HAVE IT UNANIMOUSLY.
VERY GOOD
NEXT.
02:31:42PM >>ERIC COTTON:
ERIC COTTON, DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
SO THE NEXT GROUP OF ESTABLISHMENTS ARE ONES THAT, AS OF
MONDAY AFTERNOON, HAD NOT SUBMITTED ANY DOCUMENTATION OR PAID
A FEE BACK TO THE CITY.
SO THOSE ARE ON THE LIST THAT I WILL READ OUT FOR COUNCIL.
LA GIRALDILLA AT 1003 WEST HILLSBOROUGH AVENUE.
WATER + FLOUR ITALIAN AT SOUTH HOWARD.
THIS JOHNNY C'S ITALIAN EATERY AT CROSS CREEK BOULEVARD.
CHAMPION PIZZA AT 5229 NORTH FLORIDA AVENUE.
BUFFALO WILD WINGS AT 4015 SOUTH DALE MABRY AVENUE.
TOP SHELF SPORTS LOUNGE AT 401 EAST JACKSON STREET.
THE SEA HOUSE AT 6005 NORTH FLORIDA AVENUE.
MELTING POT SOCIAL AT 160 WEST TYLER, I BELIEVE, IS CLOSED.
CALI TAMPA PALMS AT 17002 PALM POINT.
SANTI'S CAFE HABANA AT 10901 NORTH HOWARD AVENUE.
URBAN AIR PARK AT 6250 COMMERCE FOUND.
LIMA AT 19062 BRUCE B. DOWNS BOULEVARD.
PAUL'S FUSION KITCHEN AT WEST KENNEDY BOULEVARD.
PEI WEI ASIAN DINER AT 1802 NORTH WESTSHORE BOULEVARD.
THAT INDIVIDUAL DID SPEAK TO STAFF.
MY UNDERSTANDING IS THEY DON'T SELL ALCOHOL AT THAT
LOCATION.
LOCATION ITSELF IS WET, AND THEY DON'T SELL ALCOHOL.
PINKY'S AT 3203 WEST BOULEVARD, AS I UNDERSTAND IT, IT IS
NOW CLOSED.
02:33:35PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I THOUGHT -- CLOSED.
02:33:40PM >>ERIC COTTON:
MAY HAVE.
BASED ON OUR LAST LOOK AT STUFF, WE DON'T BELIEVE IT HAD
BEEN CLOSED.
02:33:46PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
EVEN IF WE KNOW THESE ARE CLOSED, AND IF WE
DON'T KNOW THEY ARE CLOSED.
I MEAN, YOU ARE SAYING THAT PINKY'S IS CLOSED AND THAT YOU
SAID ANOTHER ONE.
02:34:01PM >>ERIC COTTON:
MELTING POT SOCIAL.
02:34:03PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
YOU KNOW THAT FOR A FACT.
SO CAN WE REMOVE THESE?
02:34:10PM >>ERIC COTTON:
BY RULES, IF THEY WERE OPEN FROM JANUARY 1,
2025 THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2025 THEY SHOULD HAVE FILED.
IT IS THE LANDLORD'S RESPONSIBILITY, BECAUSE THE ALCOHOL
SITS WITH THE PIECE OF PROPERTY, NOT NECESSARILY WITH THE
BUSINESS OWNER WHEN WE SENT OUT THE NOTICE OF SUSPENSION.
WENT TO THE BUSINESS OWNER, THE OWNER OF THE AB
ESTABLISHMENT, LICENSE AND THE PROPERTY OWNER.
ALL THREE WOULD HAVE RECEIVED NOTICE.
02:34:38PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
SO I GUESS WE WILL START ONE BY ONE.
OKAY.
LA GIRALDILLA, 1003 WEST HILLSBOROUGH AVENUE.
I DIDN'T SAY THAT CORRECT, DID I?
I WAS THINKING ITALIAN.
02:35:04PM >> GOOD AFTERNOON.
MY ENGLISH IS NOT THAT GOOD.
THE FIRST TIME THEY SENT THE -- THE LETTER, WE CONTACTED THE
COUNTY.
BECAUSE I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY -- WITH MY WIFE'S MOTHER.
WE SUBMIT WHEN THEY SENT ME THIS LETTER.
WE SUBMIT -- WE SENT A NOTARY IN FEBRUARY 20.
BUT I DON'T RECEIVE NOTHING, AND WE DID IT AGAIN LAST WEEK,
$100 CHECK.
02:35:48PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
EXCUSE ME.
HOLD ON.
YOU HAVE TO ADDRESS US.
02:36:00PM >> OH, YES, SORRY.
02:36:02PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I HEARD YOU SAY THAT YOU PAID YOUR $100
FINE.
WHAT ABOUT THE REST OF THE DOCUMENTATION?
02:36:12PM >> IT IS THERE.
02:36:12PM >>ERIC COTTON:
SO WHAT HE -- WHAT THE GENTLEMAN HANDED TO ME
IS THE -- OUR AFFIDAVIT WHICH IS BASICALLY SAYING THEY
UNDERSTAND THAT THEY HAVE TO SUBMIT ON AN ANNUAL BASIS.
YOU ARE A RESTAURANT.
YOU HAVE AN ESTABLISHMENT.
YOU HAVE TO SUBMIT DOCUMENTATION.
THIS IS JUST THE LETTER FROM FEBRUARY 13 SAYING THAT YOU
WERE IN VIOLATION OF THE REPORTING AND THAT THE
DOCUMENTATION WAS NOT FILED OR FILED LATE.
THIS WENT OUT IN FEBRUARY.
02:36:39PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
DO YOU HAVE PROOF THAT YOU HAVE FILED THE
DOCUMENTATION?
02:36:46PM >>ERIC COTTON:
THIS IS A POSTAL SERVICE RECEIPT.
02:36:49PM >> LAST WEEK WHEN I RECEIVED THIS LETTER.
02:36:52PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
WHAT DID YOU INCLUDE IN THAT POSTAL
ENVELOPE?
02:36:57PM >> WHAT WAS IN THERE?
02:36:59PM >> THE CHECK AND THE --
02:37:09PM >>ERIC COTTON:
THIS IS HIS -- THIS IS HIS DOCUMENTATION.
AS OF MONDAY, WE HAVE NOT SEEN THIS YET.
IT IS POSSIBLE THAT IT WAS FILED.
DO YOU HAVE A -- DO YOU HAVE THE COMMERCIAL INSURANCE AUDIT?
02:37:26PM >> NO.
02:37:26PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
WOULD BE THE SAME SITUATION.
DID YOU UNDERSTAND THE PREVIOUS CASE WHAT IS THEY HAD TO DO?
02:37:34PM >> YES.
02:37:34PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
OKAY.
02:37:35PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
SO WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO DO THE SAME THING?
BE ABLE TO GET IT DONE BY NEXT FRIDAY?
02:37:42PM >> OKAY.
02:37:42PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
02:37:44PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
WELL, I WILL KEEP GOING.
YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO HELP ME WITH THIS NAME.
La GIRALDILLA.
02:37:52PM >> LA GIRALDILLA.
02:37:54PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I MOVE TO FIND THAT LA GIRALDILLA, 1003 WEST
HILLSBOROUGH, IN VIOLATION OF SECTION 27-319 OF THE CITY
OF TAMPA CODE FOR FAILURE TO TIMELY FILE THE REQUIRED
DOCUMENTS WITH THE CITY, AND IN LIGHT OF ACTION TAKEN OF THE
VIOLATION THAT CITY COUNCIL SUSPEND THE ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE
PERMIT FOR SEVEN DAYS STARTING AT 12:01 A.M. MONDAY
SEPTEMBER 15, 2025 IF ALL DOCUMENTATION AND PAYMENT HAS NOT
BEEN RECEIVED BY THE CITY BY 5 P.M. ON BE FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER
12, 2025.
02:38:46PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
MOTION AND A SECOND.
ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
OPPOSED.
AYES HAVE IT.
02:38:52PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
VERY GOOD.
NEXT, WATER + FLOUR ITALIAN RESTAURANT.
ANYONE FROM WATER + FLOUR ITALIAN RESTAURANT?
OKAY.
HOW ABOUT JOHNNY C.'S ITALIAN RESTAURANT?
CHAMPION PIZZA?
ARE YOU WITH CHAMPION PIZZA?
02:39:31PM >> MY NAME IS SEKON HALL.
I AM THE PROPERTY OWNER OF THAT RESTAURANT.
OKAY, SO MY FORMER TENANT FAILED TO RENEW, I THINK THIS
LICENSE OR PERMIT, WHATEVER EARLIER THIS YEAR.
THAT IS WHY I RECEIVED A HEARING NOTICE.
SO I CAME UP HERE, AND ANYTHING I CAN SOLVE, ANYTHING I NEED
TO MAKE UP OR -- WANT TO KNOW ABOUT WHAT IS THE CAUSE.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED.
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
COUNCIL HOW YOU THIS -- HOW THIS PROPERTY -- OBVIOUSLY, THE
TENANT DID NOT FILE THIS PAPERWORK.
PROPERTY OWNER -- CAN THIS -- IS HE ABLE TO RESOLVE THIS
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.
THAT IS UP TO COUNCIL'S DISCRETION.
IF THEY CAN'T PROVIDE THE INFORMATION DUE TO YOU WHATEVER
REASON.
02:40:52PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
PUT THAT ON -- SEE THE PROJECTOR.
PUT THAT ON THERE FOR US.
02:40:57PM >>ERIC COTTON:
UP TO COUNCIL'S DISCRETION.
IS IT A VIOLATION, YES, BECAUSE THE BUSINESS THAT WAS THERE
WOULD HAVE BEEN REQUIRED TO SUBMIT THE DOCUMENTATION.
I MEAN, THAT'S I AM NOT SURE --
02:41:13PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
IF WE DIDN'T WANT TO VIOLATE BECAUSE OF
THE EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES, WHAT WOULD BE THE CITY'S
POSITION ON THIS?
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
EVICTED FROM THE PREMISE.
THIS IS THE PROPERTY OWNER.
HOW DO WE, AS THE CITY -- IF WE DON'T WANT TO FINE THE
PROPERTY OWNER IN VIOLATION, HOW DO WE AS A CITY, HOW DO YOU
WE CLOSE THIS UP?
02:41:59PM >>ERIC COTTON:
I WOULD IMAGINE THAT THE COUNCIL COULD MAKE A
MOTION NOT TO FIND A VIOLATION AND WOULD BE THE END OF THE
SITUATION FOR HIM.
02:42:05PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
BURDEN OF THE NEXT TENANT TO MAKE SURE TO FILE
IT TIMELY.
02:42:15PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
THANKFUL THAT YOU BROUGHT THE FINAL NOTICE OF
EVICTION BECAUSE IT MAKES US EASIER.
02:42:22PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
WHO WOULD LIKE TO MAKE THE MOTION?
02:42:24PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
IN THE CASE OF CHAMPION PIZZA, NORTH
FLORIDA AVENUE.
I MOVE TO FILED THE FOLLOWING ESTABLISHMENT IN VIOLATION OF
SECTION 27-319 OF THE CITY OF TAMPA CODE --
02:42:35PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
NOT UNLESS YOU ARE GOING --
02:42:39PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
NOT IN VIOLATION.
ARE WE NOT EVEN -- WOULD YOU GO TO THE --
02:42:44PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
MY SUGGESTION --
02:42:46PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
I FIND THEY ARE NOT IN VIOLATION BUT
ACHIEVED FULL COMPLIANCE BECAUSE THEY DON'T EXIST ANYMORE?
02:42:53PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
I WOULD SUGGEST UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES
PROVIDED BY CITY COUNCIL THAT YOU FIND UNDER THE CITY CODE
THAT THE GENTLEMAN APPEARING AND HIS BUSINESS AS LANDLORD IS
NOT IN VIOLATION.
02:43:04PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
OKAY, ALL RIGHT.
I WILL RESTATE THIS MOTION.
I WILL MAKE A MOTION THAT THE FOLLOWING ESTABLISHMENT WHICH
IS CHAMPION PIZZA, 529 NORTH FLORIDA AVENUE, WHICH IS NO
LONGER IN BUSINESS, HAS BEEN EVICTED FROM THE PREMISE
IS NOT IN VIOLATION,
AND THEREFORE, THERE ARE NO FURTHER SANCTIONS NEEDED BECAUSE
OF THE GENTLEMAN HERE, AND THEY HAVE NOT HAVE THEIR ALCOHOLIC
BEVERAGE PERMIT SUSPENDED.
02:43:35PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
PROPERTY OWNER.
02:43:38PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
THAT THE PROPERTY OWNER IS NOT IN
VIOLATION.
02:43:42PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THAT WILL BE PERFECT.
A MOTION FROM COUNCIL MEMBER MANISCALCO.
A SECOND FROM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
OPPOSED?
AYES HAVE IT UNANIMOUSLY.
02:43:51PM >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
02:43:52PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
BUFFALO WILD WINGS.
ANYBODY FROM BUFFALO WILD WINGS?
NO, TOP SHELF SPORTS LOUNGE.
401 EAST JACKSON.
02:44:06PM >> HELLO, KEON KADLE.
WE SUBMITTED ALL OF THE REQUIRED DOCUMENTS AND PAID THE $100
FEE.
WE WERE WAITING FOR THE INSURANCE AUDIT SO SUBMITTED ALL OF
THAT YESTERDAY AND PAID THE FEE.
SO WE SHOULD BE IN COMPLIANCE, BUT HE TOOK THE LIST ON
MONDAY, AND WE WERE PUT IN COMPLIANCE YESTERDAY.
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.
I WANTED TO JUST APOLOGIZE.
SOUNDS LIKE A LOT OF THIS IS CONFUSION ON WHAT WAS
SUPPOSED TO BE DONE.
WE HAVE A RESTAURANT IN WESLEY CHAPEL, AND IT IS DONE
DIFFERENTLY THERE, AND SO THIS IS KIND OF NEW TO US UNTIL
-- I DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH SEEKING -- LIKE A
REGULAR MAIL, BUT WE DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS UNTIL WE GOT
THE CERTIFIED LETTER OF WHICH WE STARTED TO ACT IMMEDIATELY
TO GET IN COMPLIANCE.
02:44:56PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
OKAY, WILL YOU BE OKAY AND DID THE SAME
PARTIAL COMPLIANCE MAKING SURE THAT WAY YOU GET UNTIL FRIDAY
OF NEXT WEEK TO DOUBLE CHECK WITH THE DEPARTMENT AND MAKE
SURE EVERYTHING IS OKAY.
AND THEN WE PUT A START ON SEPTEMBER 15 IF FOUND NOT IN
COMPLIANCE.
DOES THAT WORK FOR YOU?
02:45:18PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK, MAKE THE MOTION.
02:45:21PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
MOVE THE TOP SHELF LOUNGE IN VIOLATION OF
SECTION 27-219 IN VIOLATION OF THE CODE AND BY THE ACTIONS
TO CORRECT THE VIOLATION THAT CITY COUNCIL SUSPEND THE
ALCOHOLIC PERMIT FOR SEVEN DAYS STARTING A THE 12:01 A.M.
SEPTEMBER 15, 2025, AND IF ALL DOCUMENTATIONS AND DOCUMENTS
AND FINES HAVE NOT BEEN SUBMITTED AND ACCEPTED BY THE CITY BY
FRIDAY, 5 P.M. -- ON FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2025 AT 5 P.M.
02:46:01PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
A MOTION FROM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
A SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA.
ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
OPPOSED.
AYES HAVE IT EWE UNANIMOUSLY.
02:46:10PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE YOU ADVICE.
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO WASH THE DISHES, DROP ONE ON THE FLOOR
SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO WASH THE DISHES ANYMORE.
02:46:18PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I AM FINE.
I AM IN A RHYTHM.
02:46:20PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
YOU HAVE TO WASH ONE DISH.
02:46:24PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
IF YOU DO YOU IT WELL.
02:46:25PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I HAVE NO PROBLEM.
02:46:26PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
NEXT IS THE C HOUSE.
6005 NORTH FLORIDA AVENUE.
SEEING NONE.
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
THE MELTING POT RESTAURANT WHERE MELTING POT SOCIAL WAS A
NEW CONCEPT WE HAVE.
WE DID CLOSE THAT RESTAURANT IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR.
WE WERE REPORTING OUR SALES AND ACTIVITIES TO THE LANDLORD.
I DON'T RECALL SEEING A NOTICE OF AN OUTSTANDING REPORT OR A
PENALTY.
SO WE JUST WANTED TO HAVE ME APPEAR TODAY TO SEE WHAT WE
NEEDED TO DO CLOSE OUT THE MATTER.
LIQUOR LICENSE WILL NO LONGER BE UTILIZED.
AS I MENTIONED THE RESTAURANT IS CLOSED.
02:47:24PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
YOU HAVE SEEN WHAT HAPPENED WITH THESE
PREVIOUS CASES.
WILL YOU ABLE TO BE IN COMPLIANCE BY NEXT FRIDAY THE 12th?
02:47:29PM >> ABSOLUTELY.
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
BIT DIFFERENT THAN THE EVICTED ONE JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE
COMPLETELY GONE.
AND IN THIS CASE, THERE IS A REPRESENTATIVE THAT HAS
DOCUMENTATION FOR JANUARY, FEBRUARY, AND MARCH.
THAT DOCUMENTATION CAN BE SUBMITTED TO THE CITY, AS WELL
AS THE COMMERCIAL AUDIT.
YES, MA'AM, YOU HAVE A QUESTION?
02:48:10PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
YES, BECAUSE THIS IS FOR LAST YEAR.
IF THEY CLOSED OF MARCH OF THIS YEAR, WOULD YOU ALSO LIKE
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
TIME THEY WERE OPEN HERE.
THIS WILL BE FROM JANUARY 1 THROUGH DECEMBER 31,
2024.
02:48:36PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?
02:48:38PM >> IT DOES BUT I HAVEN'T SEEN A NOTICE.
WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO RESOLVE IT?
02:48:43PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
BUT YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE CHATTING WITH HIM
OUTSIDE AND GET EVERYTHING DONE BY THE 15TH.
02:48:49PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
MARTIN SHELBY, CITY COUNCIL ATTORNEY.
ONLY COMPLICATION, THERE IS NOTHING TO POST AND NOTHING TO
SUSPEND BASED ON THE REPRESENTATION.
02:49:05PM >>ERIC COTTON:
ERIC COTTON, LAND DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
EVEN THOUGH FAILURE OF THE ESTABLISHMENT, THE PROPERTY STILL
GETS POSTED.
SUSPENSION WOULD EFFECT THE PROPERTY ALSO.
SO IT IS NOT JUST THE BUSINESS BEING SUSPENDED.
ANY SALES FROM THAT PROPERTY.
EVEN IF THEY CHANGE -- IF ANOTHER BUSINESS MOVED IN TOMORROW,
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.
SIMILAR TO THE ONE WE DID WITH THE EVICTION BUT STILL DEMAND
COMPLIANCE DOING THE FILINGS.
HOW DO WE DO THAT?
02:49:52PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I THINK WE JUST SAY, WE ASKED THAT THEY BE IN
COMPLIANCE BY FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12.
KIND OF NOTHING ELSE WE CAN DO.
02:50:01PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
AND THEN TAKE IT.
THEY HAVE AN OVERRIDING CORPORATION.
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
LICENSE GOES WITH THE PROPERTY, THE -- IS THERE SOME KIND OF
-- IF THAT THE RESTAURANT NEEDS TO GIVE TO YOU, SAY,
THEY ARE NO LONGER OCCUPYING THAT PROPERTY ANYMORE?
02:50:35PM >>ERIC COTTON:
THAT IS THE HARD THING ABOUT ALCOHOL.
AND THERE ARE CASES WHERE A BUSINESS WILL BE OPEN THE FIRST
THREE MONTHS OF THE YEAR, AND THEY THEN CLOSE AND WILL
REQUIRED IF THE BUSINESS CLOSES AND THE TENANT USES EXISTING
LICENSE.
WE ARE NOT AWARE OF THE CHANGE IN THE BUSINESS OWNERSHIP.
SO THAT IS THE HARD PART AS SUSAN WAS SAYING AT THE BEGINNING.
THEY WENT THROUGH A LOT OF WORK TO TRUE UP THE
DOCUMENTATION.
BECAUSE THAT IS JUST THE ODD THING ABOUT ALCOHOL IS WE
REGULATE AT THE LOCAL LEVEL AND LICENSE COMES FROM THE STATE
AND DOES NOT REQUIRE A NEW SIGN FOR US.
WE DON'T HAVE THE CHANGE OF BUSINESS.
02:51:30PM >>BILL CARLSON:
THIS WEIGHS WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO.
BECAUSE THEY ARE A COMPANY THAT HAS A LOT MORE OUTLETS.
COMING HERE FOR REPUTATION BECAUSE THAT WAS PROBABLY A
SEPARATE BUSINESS AND AFFECTS THE LANDOWNER.
COULD BE ANOTHER SITUATION WHERE SOMEBODY IS CLOSED DOWN
THEY WOULDN'T SHOW UP, BUT THE LANDOWNER DOES OR MAYBE
NEITHER ONE.
02:51:50PM >>ERIC COTTON:
SORRY TO INTERRUPT.
I WAS GOING TO SAY BUT THE NOTICE FOR THIS HEARING WENT OUT
TO THE PROPERTY OWNER AS WELL.
THEY HAD THE EVICTION, AND HE IS THE ONE THAT SHOWED UP AND
HE GOT THE NOTICE SAYING THAT HIS LICENSE WILL BE SUSPENDED.
WHOEVER COMES, HE WANTS THEM TO COME IN AND OPERATE AND
SELL.
02:52:09PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I AM COMFORTABLE WITH OUR PREVIOUS
DECISION HOW WE MOVE THIS FORWARD, IF YOU ALL ARE.
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.
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
NICELY.
02:52:38PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE
NOT FIND THE MELTING POT SOCIAL IN VIOLATION AT 160 WEST
TYLER STREET.
AND THAT'S IT.
02:52:48PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
SECOND.
02:52:50PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THEY WILL SUBMIT THE REQUIRED FINE AND
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
THE PAPERWORK BY SEPTEMBER 12, 2025.
02:53:12PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCIL MEMBER
MANISCALCO.
SECOND FROM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
OPPOSED?
AYES HAVE IT UNANIMOUSLY.
OKAY, VERY GOOD.
NEXT IS CICCIO CALI TAMPA PALMS.
MR. MICHELINI.
02:53:35PM >> I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT WE RESOLVED AND PAID THE
FINE AND REQUIRED THE DOCUMENT.
ALSO, I HAVE WATER + FLOUR.
HERE IS WHAT OUR ISSUE WAS.
WE HAD EIGHT DIFFERENT RESTAURANT NOTICES GOING TO ONE
LOCATION.
AND THEY THOUGHT THEY HAD FILED THE DOCUMENTS BUT NOT
LOOKING AT THE INDIVIDUAL ADDRESSES.
SO WE CERTAINLY CAN GET THAT RESOLVED BY NEXT FRIDAY AND GET
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.
CAN I DO THEM TOGETHER?
WE CAN DO THEM TOGETHER.
02:54:11PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
WE CAN DO THEM TOGETHER.
STEVE, DID YOU MENTION YOUR NAME?
02:54:17PM >> STEVE MICHELINI.
I AM REPRESENTING BOTH.
CICCIO, PALM POINT AND WATER + FLOUR.
02:54:28PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
I MOVE TO FIND THAT WATER + FLOUR ITALIAN
RESTAURANT AT 1015 SOUTH HOWARD AVENUE AND CICCIO CALIFORNIA
TAMPA PALMS AT 1702 PALM POINT DRIVE IN VIOLATION OF SECTION
27-319 OF THE CITY OF TAMPA CODE FOR FAILURE TO TIMELY FILE
THE REQUIRED DOCUMENTS WITH THE CITY AND IN LIGHT OF ANY
ACTION -- ACTIONS TAKEN BY THE VIOLATOR TO CORRECT THE
VIOLATION THAT CITY COUNCIL SUSPEND THE ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE
PERMIT AS THIS ESTABLISHMENT FOR SEVEN DAYS STARTING AT
12:01 A.M. MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 2025 UNTIL THE FINE AND ALL
DOCUMENTATION DELIVERED TO THE CITY BY FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 12,
2025 AT 5 P.M.
02:55:16PM >>GUIDO MANISCALCO:
SECOND.
02:55:18PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
A MOTION FROM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER MANISCALCO.
ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
OPPOSED.
AYES CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
SANTI'S CAFE HABANA AT SOUTH HABANA AVENUE.
SANTI'S OF CAFE HABANA.
OKAY, NOT PRESENT.
NEXT IS URBAN AIR PARK AT 6250 COMMERCE PINES DRIVE.
02:55:44PM >> HEY, THERE DAWN ROBERTS, DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS FOR URBAN AIR.
I CAME ON BOARD JUST FOR REFERENCE ON MAY 5 OF THIS YEAR.
SO I AM KIND OF CLEANING UP ANYTHING THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN
GOING ON BEFORE I CAME ON-BOARD.
THIS IS ACCORDING TO THE OWNER THAT THIS THE FIRST TIME HE HAS
EVER HEARD OF A NOTICE FROM THE CITY ABOUT THE ALCOHOL SALES
NEEDING TO BE REPORTED.
SO ON AUGUST 7, THE OWNER, THE LANDLORD AND THE PARK ALL
RECEIVED THE CERTIFIED LETTERS.
BUT ACCORDING TO THE LANDLORD AND THE OWNER, NOBODY EVER
RECEIVED ANYTHING BEFORE AND WOULD NOT HAVE ADDRESS IT EVEN
IF I WASN'T ON-BOARD YET.
OWNER SAID WE SHOULD NOT BE LISTED AS A RESTAURANT.
WE SHOULD BE A FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT CENTER.
AND THAT -- NOT 51% OF OUR SALES IS FOOD.
OTHER THAN THAT, I AM NOT SURE.
02:56:45PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
MR. COTTON.
YOU WILL HAVE TO CLARIFY TO COUNCIL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS
AND WHAT WE HAVE ON RECORD.
02:56:50PM >>ERIC COTTON:
ERIC COTTON, LAND DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
THE LICENSE THAT THE ESTABLISHMENT RECEIVED BACK IN 2020 WAS
FOR A SPECIAL RESTAURANT.
THEY WENT THROUGH ADMINISTRATIVE APPROVAL FOR A SPECIAL RESTAURANT.
IF THEY ARE NOT MEETING THAT REQUIREMENT, THEY NEED TO COME
BACK IN AND REAPPLY FOR A SPECIAL USE AB 2 HEARING FOR A
SMALL OR LARGE VENUE.
BECAUSE THEY ARE -- THEY ARE NOT A RESTAURANT ANYMORE OR
WHOMEVER WAS THERE IS BACK IN 2020.
WHEN THEY MOVED IN, THEY JUST -- YOU KNOW, TOOK OVER THAT
ALCOHOL LICENSE.
IF THEY ARE NOT A RESTAURANT THEY NEED TO COME BACK INTO
CITY COUNCIL AND APPLY FOR A NEW -- NEW ALCOHOL PERMIT AS A
SMALL OR A LARGE VENUE.
02:57:37PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
FROM A CITY'S FORECAST PERSPECTIVE, HOW DO
WE RESOLVE THIS IF THE LICENSE IS NOT COVERING THEIR
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
URBAN AIR.
02:57:57PM >>ERIC COTTON:
CAN WE GET CONFIRMATION IF THE ESTABLISHMENT
IS SELLING ALCOHOL AT THIS POINT?
02:58:11PM >> WE DO.
WE SELL BEER, WINE, AND, LIKE, SELTZERS.
02:58:21PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
COVERED FOR BEER AND WINE NOW OR FULL
LIQUOR?
02:58:25PM >> RIGHT NOW THEY ARE ESTABLISHED AS A SPECIAL RESTAURANT.
REGARDLESS, RIGHT NOW THEY ARE -- THEY DON'T HAVE THE
APPROPRIATE LICENSE TO BE SELLING ALCOHOL AT ALL.
OR THE PERMIT FROM THE CITY OF TAMPA.
DON'T KNOW WHAT THEIR STATE LICENSE IS, BUT RIGHT NOW,
WHAT -- HOW THIS THEY ARE OPERATING IN VIOLATION OF
THE CITY OF TAMPA CODE.
02:58:42PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THIS IS OUTSIDE THE PARAMETER OF WHAT WE
ARE TALKING ABOUT TODAY.
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
DEPARTMENT.
I MEAN, IT SOUND LIKE -- AGAIN, THEY ARE OPERATING UNDER A
PRIOR ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE PERMIT THAT WAS APPROVED AS A
SPECIAL RESTAURANT.
SPECIAL RESTAURANT IS AN S-1 ADMINISTRATIVE ALCOHOLIC
BEVERAGE PERMIT AND NOT REQUIRED -- WHEN THEY GOVERNMENT
GAVE APPROVAL IN 2020, THEY NOT REQUIRED TO COME TO COUNCIL
AND ESTABLISHES EARLIER CLOSING TIMES.
PARAMETERS ON OUTDOOR AMPLIFIED SOUND AND SALES WERE ONLY
ALLOWED IF YOU HAD WHAT USED TO BE CALLED A SRX LICENSE, BUT
WITH THE STATE, IT IS CALLED A SFS, SPECIAL FOOD SERVICE,
KIND OF A COMPANION LICENSE TO OUR SPECIAL RESTAURANT THAT
REQUIRES 51% GROSS SALES FROM FOODS.
I AM NOT SURE WHERE THE DISCONNECT HAPPENED, BUT ACCORDING
TO OUR RECORDS, THEY HAVE THIS SPECIAL RESTAURANT.
SO I THINK MR. COTTON IS CORRECT, THEY NEED TO COME IN AND
REAPPLY FOR A DIFFERENT TYPE OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE PERMIT.
03:00:01PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
SO WHEN THE CITY IDENTIFIES A COMMERCIAL
BUSINESS THAT -- IN THIS SITUATION THAT LICENSE OR WHATEVER,
THE APPROVAL THAT THEY PREVIOUSLY HAD IS NOT IN COMPLIANCE
WITH THE CURRENT ENVIRONMENT.
WHAT DOES THE CITY NORMALLY DO IN THIS SITUATION?
03:00:19PM >>ERIC COTTON:
ERIC COTTON, LAND DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION.
WE INFORM THE BUSINESS OWNER THEY NEED TO APPLY FOR AN AB
LICENSE TO GET THE CORRECT DESIGNATION.
RIGHT NOW THEY ARE IN VIOLATION THE CODE.
THEY ARE NOT OPERATING WITH THE R DESIGNATION.
03:00:38PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
DO WE ALLOW THEM TO CONTINUE TO OPERATE
UNTIL THEY COME INTO COMPLIANCE?
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
WE HAVE DONE WITH EVERYBODY ELSE, BUT THEY HAVE UNTIL FRIDAY
OF NEXT WEEK TO COME IN AND START A CASE.
BUT IT IS REALLY UP TO YOU ALL.
I MEAN, THIS IS WHERE WE ARE GOING TO RELY ON YOU AS TO
WHETHER -- IF THEY ARE NOT OPERATING UNDER A CURRENT CORRECT
LICENSE, THEN I DON'T KNOW THAT WE CAN EVEN DO THAT, BECAUSE
THEY -- IT SOUNDS TO ME IF THEY ARE NOT WORKING UNDER THE
CURRENT CORRECT LICENSE, THEY SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO
SELL ALCOHOL.
I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THAT.
03:01:22PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
IF COUNCIL GIVES THEM, LET'S SAY AN EXTRA
WEEK BEFORE THEY HAVE PUT IN A SUSPENSION, THEN THAT
WOULD GIVE THEM ENOUGH TIME TO BE ABLE TO COME IN AND -- THE
QUESTION WOULD BE IF COUNCIL MAKES A MOTION, WOULD THEM
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
VIOLATION OF THE CODE, NOT NECESSARILY FOR THE REPORTING BUT
JUST IN VIOLATION OF THE CODE, BECAUSE HOW THEY ARE OPERATE
SOMETHING IS NOT COMPLIANCE WITH THEIR APPROVED AB.
03:01:59PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
FROM A PERSPECTIVE, LET'S SAY NOW THAT YOU
KNOW THAT, WHAT DOES -- IT IS A ZONING VIOLATION, IS THAT
CORRECT?
03:02:09PM >>ERIC COTTON:
A VIOLATION OF THE AB AND CHAPTER 27, YES,
THAT'S CORRECT.
03:02:13PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
WHAT IS THE PROCESS OF YOU NOTIFYING THEM
THAT THEY ARE OUT OF COMPLIANCE?
03:02:18PM >>ERIC COTTON:
THIS HEARING IS NOW NOTIFICATION.
WHAT NORMALLY HAPPENS IS THEYWOULD GO FOR A SUSPENSION HEARING
FOR THE R DESIGNATION BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE THE CORRECT
CLASSIFICATION BY US.
THEY ASK THE APPLICANT -- THE QUESTION IS -- I AM NOT SURE
WHAT LICENSE THEY HAVE FROM THE STATE OF FLORIDA EITHER.
03:02:37PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THIS SOUNDS TO ME AS THOUGH -- THIS
IS THE FIRST -- THIS IS THE FIRST MOMENT THAT THE CITY
OF TAMPA BECAME AWARE OF THE POSSIBLE VIOLATION.
SO IF THIS DIDN'T OCCUR IN THIS CHAMBER, THIS -- WHAT SHOULD
-- WHAT IS THE NORMAL OPERATING PROCEDURE FOR THE CITY OF
TAMPA SHOULD BE SOUNDS TO ME LIKE WHAT YOU SAID WOULD START
THIS PROCESS.
THIS WILL MAKE THIS ISSUE MOOT.
AND YOU ALL WILL START FRESH WITH PURSUING THIS LINE OF
ENFORCEMENT.
COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA.
03:03:13PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
I AM NOT A LAWYER -- NOT THAT THEY ARE AT
FAULT BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T KNOW.
IF THEY APPLY IT WILL TAKE MONTHS -- A MONTH OR TWO TO GET
HERE.
SO WHAT ARE WE DOING?
YOU CAN'T -- YOU DO ONE, YOU HAVE TO DO ALL OF THEM.
THE FIRST CASE THAT I HEARD OF THIS.
03:03:30PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
FIRST TIME THE CITY OF TAMPA BECAME AWARE
OF THIS POTENTIAL VIOLATION OF CODE.
SO WHATEVER HAPPENS NORMALLY IS INVISIBLE TO US IN CHAMBER,
STAFF SHOULD START THERE AS THE STEP ONE OF THAT PROCESS,
OUTSIDE OF THIS.
AND THAT WILL -- AND I DON'T HOW WE RECTIFY IN CASE TODAY
BECAUSE THIS IS KIND OF MOOT.
COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
03:03:52PM >>BILL CARLSON:
JUST SAID A DIFFERENT WAY.
YOU HAVE ONE REPRESENTATIVE WHO SAID ONE THING AND THAT
LEADS YOU -- SOME EVIDENCE THAT TOUGH NOW.
BUT DON'T YOU HAVE TO MAKE AN OFFICIAL DETERMINATION?
WOULD SOMEBODY, FOR EXAMPLE -- DON'T YOU HAVE A PROCESS FOR
AN OFFICIAL DETERMINATION IF THEY ARE OUT YOU HAVE
COMPLIANCE AND MAKE THAT OFFICIAL DETERMINATION BASED ON
WHAT THE REPRESENTATIVE SAID TODAY?
03:04:18PM >>ERIC COTTON:
I THINK -- ERIC COTTON, LAND DEVELOPMENT
COORDINATION.
WE CAN MAKE THAT CAN DETERMINATION BASED ON WHAT THE
REPRESENTATIVE JUST SAID.
INDICATED THEY ARE NO LONGER A RESTAURANT AND DON'T MEET THE
51-49.
THEY NEED TO COME BACK IN AND GET A NEW LICENSE FROM THE
CITY TO OPERATE.
03:04:34PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
ALL CAN YOU HAPPEN OUTSIDE OF THE CHAMBER.
HOW DO YOU WE CLEAR THIS OFF OUR DOCKET TODAY?
03:04:47PM >>ERIC COTTON:
THEY ARE IN VIOLATION.
THE QUESTION COMES UP, WHAT IS THE APPROPRIATE MECHANISM.
DO YOU SUSPEND THE ALCOHOL LICENSE THAT LEAVES THEM WITHOUT
THE ABILITY.
03:04:56PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
I WANT TO HEAR FROM THE ATTORNEY ON THAT
ONE.
03:04:59PM >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ:
SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ, LEGAL
DEPARTMENT.
I THINK IT IS -- CERTAINLY WITHIN COUNCIL'S DISCRETION, BUT
SEEMS IT WILL HAD BEEN APPROPRIATE TO ALLOW THEM A CERTAIN
AMOUNT OF TIME TO APPLY FOR AND HAVING PROCESSED A NEW AB
PERMIT APPLICATION.
I SAY THAT BEING FAMILIAR WITH THAT PROCESS, IT IS GOING TO
TAKE SOME TIME.
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
AND YOU ADMINISTRATIVELY WOULD CANCEL THIS.
03:05:46PM >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ:
I AM TRYING TO THINK OF WHAT IS THE
PROCESS FOR THE AB 2.
03:05:51PM >>ERIC COTTON:
AB BY THE TIME IS SUBMITTED BY OUR OFFICE, A
THREE-AND-A-HALF-MONTH PROCESS.
SOME OF THE DOCUMENTATION THEY MAY ALREADY HAVE GIVEN THE
FACT IT IS AN EXISTING SITE PLAN ON THE PROPERTY AND AN EXISTING
LEGAL DESCRIPTION.
SOME OF THAT MAY BE DONE.
IN RESPONSE TO MR. -- COUNCIL MEMBER CARLSON, I GUESS THAT
WOULD BE AN OPTION.
COUNCIL COULD CONTINUE THIS.
GIVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME BACK AND REVISIT THIS IF
THEY ARE NOT IN FRONT OF YOU FOR AN AB PERMIT IN THREE AND A
HALF OR FOUR MONTHS.
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.
JANUARY -- WHAT IS TODAY, THE 4th.
JANUARY 4th.
03:06:41PM >>ERIC COTTON:
THE ALCOHOL HEARINGS ARE USUALLY LATER IN THE MONTH,
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,
YOU DON'T HAVE ALCOHOL BEVERAGE HEARINGS IN NOVEMBER OR
DECEMBER DUE TO THE THANKSGIVING AND HOLIDAYS.
USUALLY A BACKLOG IN JANUARY, SO PERHAPS MARCH 1 WILL BE
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
REPLACE THIS ONE WITH A NEW ONE OR YOU WOULD HAVE CANCELLED
IT AND SET AN EARLIER DATE.
SO ANYWAY, I MAKE A MOTION TO CONTINUE TO FEBRUARY 1 --
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
6250 COMMERCE PALMS DRIVE.
03:07:55PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:

FEBRUARY 26.
03:08:14PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:

FOR THE RECORD.
03:08:19PM >> DAWN ROBERTS.
03:08:20PM >>MARTIN SHELBY:
DAWN ROBERTS.
MISS ROBERTS, YOU WILL NOT GET AT THAT NOTICE IN THE MAIL, AND
I SUGGEST THAT YOU WRITE DOWN TO KNOW THIS IS THE DATE THIS
IS CONTINUED TO, AND HOPEFULLY BY THEN, YOU WILL ABLE TO HAVE
RESOLVED IT IN SOME FORM OR FASHION.
03:08:39PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
FEBRUARY 26, 2026, AT 5:01 P.M. IN THESE CHAMBERS.

MOTION TO CONTINUE FROM COUNCILMAN
CARLSON.
A SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA.
03:08:56PM >>CHARLIE MIRANDA:
NOT ME.
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
NICE PEOPLE BECAUSE OF HER BEING HERE.
MY PROBLEM IS ONCE WE KNOW SOMETHING AND DOING NOTHING.
IF SOMETHING HAPPENS AT THAT THE RESTAURANT OVER THE DRINK, THE
CITY WILL BE RESPONSIBLE.
BECAUSE THE LICENSE WAS NOT THERE, AND WE KNEW ABOUT IT.
I AM JUST SAYING THAT -- I AM NOT A BRIGHT GUY OR ANYTHING
ELSE, BUT I HAVE BEEN AROUND THE BLOCK A COUPLE OF TIMES.
WHAT I AM SAYING IS, YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE US RESPONSIBLE
FOR SOMETHING THEY DID UNKNOWINGLY.
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.
MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE STAFF WILL LOOK INTO THAT PARALLEL
ISSUE.
03:09:49PM >>SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ:
SUSAN JOHNSON-VELEZ.
I THINK THIS IS A COMMON REMEDY WHEN SOMEONE CAN'T MEET
THEIR REPORTING REQUIREMENT BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE 51% OF
SALES.
I RECENTLY HAD AN OPERATION IN YBOR CITY THAT CAME BEFORE
TO YOU TO CHANGE THEIR SPECIAL RESTAURANT CLASSIFICATION TO A
DIFFERENT TYPE OF PERMIT BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T MEET THAT.
SO THIS IS A VERY COMMON REMEDY THAT COUNCIL ALLOWS OR THE
CITY ALLOWS.
03:10:13PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THANK YOU.
A MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN CARLSON.
A SECOND FROM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK.
ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.

MY NAME IS OSCAR ESCUREO, AND THE OWNER OF LIMA RESTAURANT.
I HAD THIS LICENSE FOR FOUR YEARS.
AND THIS WAS THE FIRST NOTIFICATION AND ACKNOWLEDGMENT FROM
ME RELATED TO THIS NONCOMPLIANCE.
AS SOON AS I LEARNED ABOUT IT, I STARTED OBTAINING
INFORMATION FROM MY AUDITS.
AND I GATHERED ALL THAT, AND I PRESENT IT TO THE CITY.
THE ONLY THING THAT WAS MISSING WAS AN AFFIDAVIT, WHICH I DO
HAVE HERE.
AND I WILL BE HAPPY TO SHARE WITH THE STAFF.
I HAVE PAID THE FINE AND AS FAR AS I UNDERSTAND, ALL MY
INFORMATION WAS ACKNOWLEDGED BY THE CITY AS OF TUESDAY.
SO I AM IN THAT GROUP OF COMPLIANT FOLKS.
I HAVE NEVER THOUGH -- I WANTED FOR THE RECORD, I WANTED TO
STATE THAT I NEVER RECEIVED ANY CORRESPONDENCE RELATING TO
THIS NONCOMPLIANCE.
THIS IS THE VERY FIRST TIME I HAVE RECEIVED THIS.
I TRIED TO STAY ON TOP OF THINGS.
IT IS MY HABIT.
SO JUST FOR THE RECORD, I WANTED TO STATE THAT.
03:11:50PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
THIS AFFIDAVIT HAS BEEN SUBMITTED TO THE
CITY, AND THEY HAVE RECEIVED ALL THIS --
03:11:57PM >> I GOT IT SIGNED LATE YESTERDAY, AND I CAN TURN IT OVER.
03:11:59PM >>ALAN CLENDENIN:
WHEN MR. COTTON IS FINISHED, OUTSIDE HE CAN
TALK OF THE SUBMISSION AND MAKE SURE YOU CAN GET INTO
COMPLIANCE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
03:12:07PM >>LYNN HURTAK:
WOULD YOU BE OKAY WITH THE SAME THING THAT WE
HAVE DONE WITH OTHERS.
