MY COMPANY AND PARTNERS REALIZE THE INEQUITIES OF THAT FEED THE SCHOOL TO PRISON PIPELINE FOR MANY GROUP, PARTICULARLY OF COLOR. 75 TO 80% SERVE ARE YOUTH OF COLOR. GIVEN OUR UNIQUE POSITION TO POSITIVELY IMPACT YOUTH WHO HAVE BEEN NEGATIVELY IMPACTED BY VARIOUS SYSTEMS, WE HAVE ESTABLISHED A BRIDGE-BREAKING PROGRAM CALLED BRIDGING BARRIE. HEALTHY COMMUNICATION, MUTUAL TRUST AND UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN YOUTH AND EXPECT BAY COMMUNITY. THIS INITIATIVE TRANSFORMS HOW I AND KIDS INTERACT WITH COMMUNITY TO CONNECT WITH COMMUNITY LEADERS TO VOICE THEIR THOUGHTS AND MAKE SENSE OF OUR WORLD. AS A LEAD MEMBER OF THE STEERING COMMITTEE FOR THE BREAKING BARRIERS INITIATIVE, WAY WOULD LIKE TO BUILD UPON WHAT WE ARE DOING WITH OUR YOUTH AND A WORKING BOARD THAT ENHANCES TRUST BETWEEN THE TAMPA POLICE DEPARTMENT AND OUR COMMUNITY. OUR STUDENTS HAVE ARTICULATED. FEAR AND UNTRUSTWORTHINESS WHEN DEALING WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT. AND THEY WANT TO DEVELOP RELATIONSHIPS AND LEARNINGS. IF I AM ABLE TO SEE THIS, OTHER MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITIES WILL AS WELL. IN BEING A MEMBER OF THE BOARD, I WILL BE ACTIVE AND WORK DILIGENTLY TO HELP RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE TAMPA POLICE DEPARTMENT. THANK YOU. >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU, SIR. ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNCILMEMBERS. MR. DINGFELDER AND THEN WE WILL GO TO MR. VIERA. >>LUIS VIERA: HOW ARE YOU, S SIR. >> GOOD.

I DON'T WANT TO PUT WORDS IN YOUR MOUTH, SO I WILL JUST STOP THE QUESTIONS. >> SO IT WILL BE AN HONOR TO SIT ON A BOARD TO GIVE A VOICE WHEN MAKING DIFFERENT DECISIONS AND LOOKING AT DIFFERENT CASES THAT MAY HAVE HAD SOME TYPES OF ISSUES WITH POLICY PROCEDURES AND CIVIL ARREST. WORKING WITH OUR KIDS IS ABLE TO BE THAT VOICE IN THE JUNILE OFFENDERS.LLY WITH OUR BEING THAT VOICE THAT THEY DON'T HAVE AT TIMES, BEING ABLE TO CHAMPION THEM AND BE ABLE TO CARRY THE TORCH FOR THEM REALLY WILL BE IMPACTFUL FOR MYSELF AND THE BOARD AND AMI KIDS. AS FAR AS LEADERSHIP WITHIN THE ORGANIZATION, YOU KNOW, I HAVE SPOKEN WITH OUR LEADERSHIP AND THEY ARE IN FULL SUPPORT AND REALLY SUPPORTS THE INITIATIVE THAT WE ARE DOING WITH BREAKING BARRIERS. >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, SIR, I APPRECIATE IT. >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR.

IT IMPACTED ME TREMENDOUSLY KNOWING THAT OUR PARTICIPANTS AND KIDS WE WORK WITH WERE OUT THERE DOING THINGS THAT THEY SHOULDN'T BE DOING. THAT IS ALL I WAS THINKING THAT EVENING WATCHING THE TV. I MYSELF HAVE BEEN IMPACTED BEING A HISPANIC MAN FROM CUBAN DESCENT IN TERMS OF BEING PROFILED BACK IN MIAMI WHERE I LIVED IN. I HAVE HAD MY EXPERIENCE AS WELL AS IT RELATES TO LAW ENFORCEMENT AND THAT ASPECT. BUT DEFINITELY I LEARNED OF THE POSTING AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE ON THE BOARD VIA SOCIAL MEDIA AND FACEBOOK AND SAW AN AD AND A GREAT FIT FOR WHAT WE ARE DOING CURRENTLY FOR THE BREAKING BARRIERS INITIATIVE, FOR MYSELF AND FOR OUR KIDS. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU, SIR, APPRECIATE IT. >>ORLANDO GUDES: ANYONE ELSE MR.

YOU SAID THAT SOME OF YOUR YOUTH WHO WERE THERE MAY HAVE BEEN DOING THINGS THAT THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN DOING. >>LUIS VIERA: BY DOING THINGS THAT THEY SHOULDN'T BE DOING. ARE YOU TALKING OF PEACEFUL PROTESTING OR THE FOLKS -- THE FEW OUT THERE DOING ACTS OF VIOLENCE AND PROPERTY DAMAGE? >> ACTS OF CRIME AND VIOLENCE TOWARD STRUCTURES AND WHAT NOT. >>LUIS VIERA: I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT.

PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU WOULD LIKE ME TO BEGIN. >>ORLANDO GUDES: YOU CAN BEGIN NOW. >> GOOD AFTERNOON, GENTLEMEN. I APPRECIATE YOU HAVING ME APPEAR BEFORE YOU FOR THE APPLICATION OF THE CITIZENS REVIEW BOARD. I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED WITH THE FIGHT AGAINST HUMAN TRAFFICKING AND LAST WEEK WAS THE FIRST FUNDRAISER FOR THAT STATEWIDE AGENCY. AND THANK YOU FOR MY PREVIOUS COMMITMENT AND HAVING ME THIS AFTERNOON. AS A SIDE NOTE, I AM VERY HAPPY TO SEE THAT MANY OF THE TAMPA RESIDENTS AREED IN THIS BEING INVOLVED WITH THIS BOARD AND I APPRECIATE THEM. I WAS AN ALTERNATE MEMBER OF THE CITIZENS REVIEW BOARD UNTIL 2020 WHEN I WAS APPOINTED TO A DIFFERENT BOARD. THE CRB IS THE MOST IMPACTFUL BOARD TO BE APPOINTED. EVEN THO THOUGH I WAS AN ALTERNATE, I ATTENDED EVERY MEETING BECAUSE I TOOK THE PLACE OF AN ABSENT MEMBER AND WANTED TO SUPPORT MY FELLOW MEMBERS. FROM OUR MONTHLY REVIEW OF INTERNAL AFFAIRS CASES, SURVEYING THE COMMUNITY ABOUT PERCEPTION OF THE TPD, OUR COLLEAGUES AND I SPENT MANY HOURS TO REVIEW THE DEPARTMENT TO MAKE SURE RESIDENTS ARE FREE FROM CRIME AND TREATED FAIRLY BY OFFICERS. AND THE SPECIFICS ACTIONS OF INDIVIDUAL OFFICERS AND ASK TOUGH QUESTIONS OF WITNESSES ON ALL TIDE. THROUGH EXTENSIVE TRAINING AND RIDEALONGS WE GET A GLIMPSE OF THE JOB OF OFFICERS. THE JOB AND THE SPLIT DECISIONS THEY HAVE TO MAKE. I AM PROUD OF MY PREVIOUS TIME ON THE BOARD AND FEEL IT IS AN EXCELLENT ADDITION IF YOU INVITE ME AS A FULL MEMBER. I AM NOT SWAYED BY BIAS ON OTHER SAID OF THE ISSUE. WITH ALL OF THAT SAID I RECOGNIZE THE FACT THAT THE RIGHT VOICES SHOULD BE HEARD ON THE BOARD AND I ENCOURAGE YOU THAT THE BOARD TRULY REFLECTS OUR COMMUNITY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. >>ORLANDO GUDES: ANY QUES QUESTIONS GENTLEMEN? MR. DINGFELDER, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MISS LOWRY, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE NOT ONLY ON THIS BOARD AND OUT IN THE COMMUNITY AND THE OTHER ACTIVITIES AND BOARDS THAT YOU SERVE ON. WE APPRECIATE IT. THE BOARD WAS NOT THE BOARD -- BUT THE PROCESS AND THE -- SOME OF THE RULES AND GUIDANCE OF THE BOARD WAS OPERATING UNDER PREVIOUSLY CAME UNDER SOME CRITICISM IN THE COMMUNITY AND IT WASN'T DIRECTED TO INDIVIDUALS WHO SERVED BUT GENERALLY THE RULES THAT WERE THERE AT THE TIME AND WE WORKED VERY HARD WITH THE ADMINISTRATION HOPEFLY TO IMPROVE AND STRENGTHEN THE BOARD. HAVE YOU BEEN FOLLOWING THAT PROCESS? AND HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT IT? >> SOME DEGREE. I WON'T LIE TO FEEL WE DIDN'T FEEL HILL HAMSTRUNG IN THE PAST FOR VARIOUS REASONS, THINGS TO DO WITH THE HR DEPARTMENT OF THE CITY OF TAMPA SOMETIMES. I DO THINK AS IT IS BEING STRENGTHENED, BUT I ALSO UNDERSTAND THERE ARE STATE THINGS INVOLVED THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CITY OF TAMPA THAT, YOU KNOW, BOX THE BOARD IN FOR SOME DEGREE. BUT I THINK ANY AITIOL POWERS THAT THE GROUP CAN HAVE IS CERTAINLY A POSITIVE. >>JOHN DINGFELDER SUPER. THANK YOU. >>ORLANDO GUDES: ANYONE ELSE? MR. CARLSON, YOU ARE RECO RECOGNIZED SIR. >>BILL CARLSON: YOU KIND OF SAID THIS A MINUTE AGO, BUT JUST TO ASK WITH THE POINT I AM AT. CAN YOU TELL US SINCE A LOT OF THE OTHER CANDIDATES HAVE NOT SERVED AS AN ALTERNATE ON THE BOARD. WHAT IS THE BENEFIT OF EXPERIENCE >> I GOT THROUGH BOTH SIDES THROUGHOUT OFFICERS AND R RIDE-ALONGS AND TRAINING, UNTIL YOU DO THAT YOU DON'T HAVE A SENSE OF THE KIND OF THINGS WE ARE ASKING THOSE GUYS AND WOMEN TO DO. AT ONE TIME IT IS CUSTOMER SERVICE BUT THEN CAN BE IN DANGER IT WAS A TOUGH PLACE BUT IT WAS REALLY IMPORTANT TO ME THAT -- ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DID WAS THAT SURVEY OF THE COMMUNITY TO SEE WHAT THE PERCEPTION WAS AND HOPES OF IMPROVING THE PERCEPTION AND MAKING SURE THAT THE OFFICERS REALIZE THAT BEING IN THE COMMUNITY, GETTING FOLKS TO KNOW THEM IS ONE OF THE K PARTS OF IT. SO I THINK WE GOT TO KNOW THE COMMUNITY EVEN BETTER THROUGH THE FOLKS THAT CAME TO THE MEETINGS AND GOT TO KNOW THE OFFICERS AS WELL. >>ORLANDO GUDES: ANYONE ELSE? MR. VIERA, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. >>LUIS VIERA: I DON'T HAVE A QUESTION, BUT I THINK T WAS SAID BEFORE THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE ON THIS BOARD. I CAN TELL BY THE WAY YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT IT THAT YOU TOOK IT VERY SERIOUSLY AND YOU ARE VERY JUST IMPASSIONED ABOUT IT. I KNOW WE ALL AGREE WITH THIS. BUT THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. A T OF THESE BOARDS -- I WAS ON THE CIVIL SERVICE REVIEW BOARD FOR EIGHT YEARS BE BEFOREHAND. AND THOSE BOARDS SOMETIMES ARE VERY DIFFICULT AND WHATNOT. SO I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. >>ORLANDO GUDES: ANYONE ELSE? ANYONE ELSE? WELL, MISS LOWRY, WE THANK YOU FOR COMING TO THE PROCESS. >> THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. >>CAMARIA PETTIS-MACKLE: MR. CHAIR -- GUDES FOR YOUR TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE, MR. DINGFELDER. WE APPRECIATE THAT. >>CAMARIA PETTIS-MACKLE: MR. CHAIR, I AM NOT SURE IF BUY ANA BROOKS SIGNED ON. >>CLERK: SHE HAS NOT SIGNED ON. >>CAMARIA PETTIS-MACKLE: SHE PRESENTED HER CONSIDERATION LAST WEEK, BUT THOSE ARE THE THREE APPLICANTS THAT WERE NOT ABLE TO PARTICIPATE ON SEPTEMBER 9. IF COUNCIL HAS ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS FOR THE PEOPLE APPEARING VIRTUALLY OR THE TWO PREVIOUS APPLICANTS IN PERSON, I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO ASSIST IN BRINGING THEM AROUND. >>ORLANDO GUDES: ALLOU COUNCILMEMBERS HAVE READ THE APPLICATIONS AND HEAR FROM THE APPLICANTS. ARE RESATISFIED? GENTLEMEN? I SEE THEM NOD D THEIR HEADS. >>CAMARIA PETTIS-MACKLE: I BELIEVE MADAM CLERK HAS THE BALLOT FOR CITY COUNCIL'S CONSIDERATION.

IT IS BETWEEN CARLOS VALDES WHO RECEIVED THREE VOTES, LEXI GILL WHO RECEIVED TWO VOTES, BRITTANY LAKHANI WHO RECEIVED ONE AND LEE LOWRY WHO RECEIVED ONE. WE NEED TO GET FOUR VOTES. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: COULD WE HAVE A RUNOFF BETWEEN CARLOS AND LEXI? >>CLERK: WE COU BUT SOMEONE ELSE WOULD WANT TO VOTE FOR THE OTHER ONES SO I WILL GIVE YOU -- PASS OUT THE BALLOT BALLOTS AGAIN. >>MARTIN SHELBY: IS EVERYONE GETTING A SECOND COPY, A CLEAN BALLOT?

MANISCALCO, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I WAS INITIALLY GOING TO VOTE FOR SOMEONE ELSE AND YOUR PRESENTATION WAS VERY IMPRESSIVE AND CONVINCED ME TO CHANGE MY VOTE AND I KNOW I MADE THE RIGHT VOTE AND WISH YOU THE BEST AND I KNOW YOU WILL SERVE WELL. THANK YOU. CONGRATULATIONS. >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. VIERA. DID I SEE YOUR HAND. >>LUIS VIERA: CONGRATULATIONS MR. VALDES. WHEN I SAW YOU AND MISS LOWRY A VERY GOOD QUALITY PERSON AND OTHER PEOPLE WHO WERE UNABLE TO SPEAK. I THOUGHT IT WAS A SHAME BECAUSE YOU ALL BRING A LOT TO THE TABLE AND I WANTED TO CONGRATULATE YOU. I KNOW YOU WILL DO A GREAT JOB IN THIS POSITION AND GOOD VALUES. I KNOW OFF SOCIAL CONSCIOUS AND YOU WILL DO GREAT. THANK YOU, SIR. >> THANK YOU, SIR. >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. DINGFELDER, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MR. VALDES, WE ARE GLAD TO HAVE YOU ON BOARD. YOUR POSITION IN THE COMMUNITY, I THINK, ALREADY PROVES TO US HOW MUCH YOU CARE. AND -- AND CLEARLY YOU ARE GOING -- AS SOMEBODY ASKED YOU, YOU ARE GOING TO WORK HARD TO BE AS UNBIASED AS POSSIBLE AND FAIR AS POSSIBLE TO EVERYBODY INVOLVED. I DO WANT TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SHOUT OUT TO THE TEN OR SO OTHER FOLKS WHO DID APPLY. SOME GREAT CANDIDATES. I HOPE YOU DON'T GET DISC DISCOURAGED AND I HOPE YOU APPLY FOR A FUTURE CRB POSITION OR FOR SOME OF THE OTHER BOARD POSITIONS THAT WE HAVE REGULARSLY. IF YOU DIDN'T GET THIS ONE, CHECK WITH THE CLERK'S OFFICE AND SEE WHAT OTHER BOARDS WE HAVE TO SERVE ON. SIR, THANK YOU SO MUCH, CARLOS. LOOK FORWARD TO MEETING NEW PERSON AND WORKING WITH YOU IN THE FUTURE. >> ABSOLUTELY. LIKEWISE, SIR, THANK YOU. >>ORLANDO GUDES: ANYONE ELSE? MR. SHELBY, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. >>MARTIN SHELBY: A DIFFERENT SUBJECT AND MISS PETTIS-MACKLE WILL ADDRESS IT AFTERWARDS. I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE DON'T SKIP IT. SORRY TO INTERRUPT. >>ORLANDO GUDES: LET ME SAY THAT MR. VALDES. WE HAD THE FIRST ROUND AND SECOND ROUND AND YOUR ADVOCACY WITH YOUNG PEOPLE, WORKING AT AMI -- TAKES -- I HAVE BEEN OVER THERE BEFORE. AT THAT TAKES A LOT OF COURAGE TO UNDERSTAND YOUNG PEOPLE BECAUSE THEIR MINDS ARE TOTALLY DIFFERENT THAN WHEN I WAS A BOY GROWING UP, MR. DINGFELDER AND ESPECIALLY MR. MIRANDA. IT TAKES PEOPLE WHO UNDERSTANDS THE COMMUNITY AND THE PULSE OF WHAT THEY ARE DEALING WITH, AND NOT HAVING UNBIASED AGAINST THE POLICE TO BE ABLE TO CHALLENGE AND TEACH AND LEARN THOSE PEOPLE THEIR WORKING WITH ABOUT POLICE PCEDUS, ABOUT THE POLICE. SO I THINK THIS COULD BE A GREAT, GREAT WIN FOR ALL. I ALWAYS TELL PEOPLE, DON'T COMPLAIN ABOUT THE DISEASE IF YOU DON'T WANT THE CURE. SO THOSE WHO DIDN'T APPLY, SHAME ON THEM. BUT THOSE WHO DID TAKE THE TIME OUT TO APPLY FOR THIS MOST PRESTIGIOUS WHAT I CALL A TOP BOARD, I SAY THANK YOU TO YOU. BECAUSE THERE IS WORK TO BE DONE. AND I AM SURE WE WILL GET IT DONE WITH YOUR LEADERSHIP. THANK YOU AND CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU, SIR. >> ABSOLUTELY, THANK YOU. >>ORLANDO GUDES: ATTORNEY PETTIS-MACKLE, ARE YOU READY?
