THIS MONTH, I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE DETECTIVE DAN DANIELLE LARIN. I AM PROUD TO RECOGNIZE HER AS THE OFFICER OF THE MONTH FOR JUNE 2024. IN THE INTEREST OF TIME, I WILL ONLY BE ABLE TO HIGHLIGHT TWO OF HER CASES THAT LED TO HER SELECTION AS OFFICER OF THE MONTH. WHEN YOU HEAR THEM, YOU WILL AGREE THAT SHE GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT IS EXPECTED OF TAMPA'S FINEST. AND MARCH OF 2024, A COUPLE REPORTED THAT THEY WERE ROBBED OF MORE THAN $1 MILLION OF JEWELRY. THE CASE AND TO HAVE ALL THE ELEMENTS OUT OF A HOLLYWOOD MOVIE. A GLAMOROUS COUPLE IN TOWN FOR A JEWELRY SHOW. THEY PURCHASE $1 MILLION OF FINE JEWELS AND THEY ARE ROBBED. DETECTIVE LARIN GOT RIGHT TO WORK. AT FIRST, IT AND AS IF THE CRIMINALS JUST VANISHED, BUT SHE LEFT NO STONE UNTURNED AND WAS ABLE TO COME UP WITH A LEAD THAT LED HER TO AN INTERNATIONAL THEFT GROUP KNOWN AS SAT G, THE SOUTH PERSON THAT THEFT GROUP.

WORKED WITH OTHER STATE AND FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES AND ULTIMATELY ABLE TO IDENTIFY TWO OF THE INDIVIDUALS INVOLVED AND GET THEM ARRESTED FOR THIS CRIME. IN DOING SO, THE OTHER AGENCIES WERE ALSO ARABLE TO SOLVE SEVERAL OFFENSES RELATED TO THIS PATTERN AND IDENTIFY A NETWORK OF DANGEROUS INDIVIDUALS. THIS INVESTIGATION ACTUALLY CONTINUES TODAY. AND OTHER AGENCIES ARE USING THE INFORMATION PROVIDED BY DETECTIVE LARIN TO ARREST THESE BAD GUYS AND STOP THESE ROBBERIES. AT THE SAME TIME, DETE DETECTIVE LARIN WAS ALSO ASSIGNED TO CASE INVOLVING CONSTRUCTION 70s, WHERE VICTIMS SUFFERED LOSSES EXCEEDING MORE THAN $50,000. DETECTIVE LARIN GOT RIGHT TO WORK ON THIS CASE AND USED INVESTIGATIVE TECHNIQUES AND DEPARTMENTAL DATABASES TO HELP DEVELOP HER LEADS.

THESE SUSPECTS AND MAKE ARRESTS IN HER CASE, RECOVERING STOLEN PROPERTY AND RECEIVED ASSETS INCLUDING CARS AND OTHER ITEMS USED TO COMMIT THESE CRIMES. AGAIN SHE SHARED LEADS WITH OTHER AGENCY TO HELP THEM SOLVE THEIR CASES TOO. DUE TO THE DETECTIVE'S TENACITY STOP PROLIFIC OFFENDERS AND BRING CLOSURE FOR OUR VICTIMS. HER PROFESSIONALISM WORKING WITH OTHER AGENCIES IS AN ASSET TO THE TAMPA POLICE DEPARTMENT AS SHE HELPED THOSE AGENCIES SOLVE THEIR CRIMES AND MAKE THEIR COMMUNITIES BETTER AND SAFER TOGETHER TOO.

A LONG-TIME RESIDENT OF SEMINOLE HEIGHTS. BEFORE THAT, I WAS A HOMEOWNER IN SULPHUR SPRINGS. I KNOW YOU SAID NO SIGNS, BUT THIS IS MADE BY AN EIGHT-YEAR-OLD AND YOU PROBABLY KNOW WHAT I AM GOING TO TALK ABOUT. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: NO, MA'AM, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> FINE ME LATER. ANYWAY, I APPRECIATE THIS -- THIS CHANCE TO TALK WITH YOU ABOUT SULPHUR SPRINGS. I REALIZE IT IS GOING TO BE ON THE AGENDA LATER. I AM SPEAKING RIGHT NOW. HOWEVER, I WANT TO YOU KNOW THERE ARE 833 PEOPLE IN BACK OF ME ON A PETITION RIGHT NOW SUPPORTING US WITH SULPHUR SPRINGS POOL. THE POOL HAS BEEN A LANDMARK IN SULPHUR SPRINGS FOR OVER 90 YEARS. IT HAS THE RECONSTRUCTION IN 2000. THE CITY PARKS AND RECREATION OFFERED AFFORDABLE SWIMMING, FITNESS, WATER AEROBICS AND SAFETY CLASSES FOR ALL AGES. JUST LAST YEAR, THE POOL WAS THE THIRD HIGHEST THAT WAS ATTENDED OUT OF ALL THE CITY POOLS; HOWEVER, SINCE LAST NOVEMBER, IT HAS BEEN TO, QUOTE, CLOSED INDEFINITELY FOR MAJOR REPAIRS. WHAT IS ITS FUTURE. THIS SOURCE CONCERN. MANY BELIEVE SULPHUR SPRINGS DESERVES TO KEEP THE VALUABLE COMMUNITY RESOURCE AND GATHERING PLACE THAT SHOULD REMAIN IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. IF IT NEEDS TO BE REBUILT, WE ARE ASKING THE CITY TO MOVE QUICKLY ON IT TO BRING OUR FACULTY BACK TO LIFE. WHEN I WAS YOUNG -- WHEN I WAS A YOUNG HOMEOWNER IN SULPHUR SPRINGS, IT WAS A VIBRANT COMMUNITY THAT WAS FILLED WITH MODEST COTTAGES, LOCAL SHOPS, BUT REMAINED OF THE LEGENDARY SULPHUR SPRINGS TOURIST RESORT DEVELOPED IN 1920 BY JOSEPH -- JOSIAH RICHARDSON. FEATURES MANY THINGS LIKE THE HISTORIC ARCADE THE FIRST SHOPPING MALL IN FLORIDA AND ACTUALLY IN RIPLEY' BELIEVE IT OR NOT. MALLS DIDN'T EXIST BACK THEN. DRIVE-IN THEATRE. HOTEL AND APARTMENTS. A PLACE THAT YOU COULD SHOP AT 5 AND 10. VISIT THE BANK, A BARBERSHOP, EVEN THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE AND JAIL WAS LOCATED THERE. IN THE LATE 1970s, MANY OF THE OLD COULD THE TA-- COTTAGES AND DUPLEXES. SADLY BY 1985, THE ICONIC STRUCTURE HAD BEEN LEVELED AND ARCADE WAS REPLACE BY AN OVERFLOW PARK LOT FOR THE TAMPA GREYHOUND TRACK. ONLY THE GAZEBO, THE TOWER AND ORIGINAL SPRING-FED POOL SURVIVED AND LOOKED VASTLY DIFFERENT THAN IT DID THEN. ANYWAY, THE POOL WAS SHUTTER ED IN THE 1986 AND TOOK 16 YEARS TO MR. THE POOL WE HAVE NOW. I WANT TO SAY BOTH INDIVIDUALS, FAMILIES AND CITIZENS ARE VERY INTERESTED IN HISTORIC PRESERVATION OF THIS POOL. AND WE DO HAVE -- WE HAVE TURNED IN A LIST OF QUESTIONS TO COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO EARLIER AND EAGERLY AWAIT THE ANSWER TO THOSE. IN THE MEANTIME, WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUING INTEREST IN HELPING US SUPPORT THE COMMUNITY. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> THANK YOU. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, MA'AM. YES, SIR. AND THEN WE WILL HAVE REPRESENTATIVE ALVAREZ. I SEE YOU THERE AFTER THIS GENTLEMAN. GO AHEAD. >> RYAN HAYES. GOOD MORNING COUNCILMEN AND WOMEN. I AM RYAN HAYES.

WE HAVE TWO OTHER K-9s, LUNA AND AND GRADUATED FROM THE MOFFITT CANCER SOCIETY. I AM A MEMBER OF THE IMPAIRMENT COMMUNITY AND I REFRAIN FROM USING THE TERMINOLOGY THAT IS FROM THE DISABLED DUE TO THE FACT THAT INDIVIDUALS -- IT SEEMS AS IT IS COUNTERPRODUCTIVE. I AM COMING HERE BECAUSE WE ARE TRYING TO SEE IF THERE IS ANY TYPE OF FACILITIES OR BUILDING SPACE THAT CAN BE OCCUPIED BY CAIRO AND FRIENDS. WE HAVE CURRENTLY A 650-FOOT STORE LOCATED IN THE OLDSMAR FLEA MARKET. WE HAVE BEEN THERE OVER A YEAR. A VIGOROUS PROCESS TO TRY TO STAY AFLOAT. OUR FACILITY HAS NO AC AND SO FORTH. YOU GO ON GOOGLE AND LOOK U UP CHIRO AND FRIEND, WE HAVE A TRANSPARENT VIEW. 378 FIVE-STAR GOOGLE REVIEWS. YOU CAN LOOK AT NONPROFITS. IT TAKES ALL OF THE NONPROFITS IN THE LOCAL HILLSBOROUGH COMMUNITY TO BE EQUIVALENT TO OUR STATUS. AND I AM JUST REALLY TRYING TO BRING AWARENESS. WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR ANY GRANTS OR ANYTHING. WE ARE TRYING TO SEE IF THERE IS ANY TYPE OF NETWORK OPPORTUNITIES AND ANY TYPE OF AFFILIATIONS THAT CAN BE IMPLEMENTED WITH KHIRO AND FRIENDS, ALL OF OUR ANNUAL REPORTS AND FILINGS HAVE BEEN CURRENT SINCE 2019. AND I AM AN INDIVIDUAL THAT IS A LICENSED CLINICAL MENTAL HEALTH THERAPIST AS WELL. I HOLD TWO DEGREES, A BACHELOR OF SCIENCE AND MASTER'S DEGREE IN EDUCATION.

IF I MAY OR GIVE THE GENTLEMAN OR ANOTHER ASSOCIATE LETTERS THAT I HAVE PRINTED. YES, SIR. I AM SORRY. THAT IS BASICALLY IT. I HOPE THAT THIS WAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO KIND OF GET OUR MESSAGE OUT TO THE COMMUNITY AND TO THE COUNCILMEMBERS AS WELL. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: CHIEF BENNETT, ARE YOU ABLE TO EXCHANGE INFORMATION WITH THE GENTLEMAN AND SEE -- THE NAME OF YOUR ORGANIZATION IF SAY IT AGAIN AT MICROPHONE? >> KAIRO AND FRIENDS. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: OKAY. THE CHIEF OF STAFF IS GOING -- >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WHAT IS THE NAME OF YOUR DOGGY? >> CAIRO. THANK YOU FOR COMING UP AND ASKING.

PLEASE COME UP AND SAY YOUR NAME. >> GOOD MORNING, REPRESENTATIVE DANNY ALVAREZ. I WOULD HAVE SAID DANNY ALVAREZ UNTIL YOU SAID REPRESENTATIVE. A FRIEND OF THE CITY OF TAMPA AND TAMPA POLICE DEPARTMENT. HERE TO TALK OF THE CRB AND WHAT WE -- I KNOW DISCUSSION OF POSITIONS GOING FORWARD. I WANT TO COME AND EXPLAIN FROM THE LEGISLATIVE SIDE WHAT WE UNDERSTOOD THE INTENT OF THIS WHEN WE DEBATE IT ON THE FLOOR AND IT WENT FORWARD. INSTEAD OF USING MY WORDS, THE BILL ANALYSIS. NORMALLY I NEVER READ FROM ANYTHING BECAUSE I FIND THAT DISTRACTS ME BUT I WANT TO BE PRECISE. THE CIVILIAN REVIEW BOARD THAT WE HAVE TODAY UNDER THIS LAW IS CONSIDERED A CIVILIAN OVERSIGHT AGENCY. A GOVERNMENT ENTITY CREATED BY A COUNTY OR MOO THIS 359 OF EXTERNAL OVERSIGHT OF A LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY THAT IS COMPRISED OF CITIZENS WHO ARE NOT SWORN LAW ENFORCEMENT. WHAT THE CURRENT LAW IS GOING TO DO AND WILL DO PROHIBIT POLITICAL SUBDIVISION FROM ADOPTING OR ATTEMPTING TO ENFORCE ANY ORDINANCE RELATED TO -- THAT IS WHERE WE ARE BUT STICK WITH ME FOR A SECOND. THE RECEIPT, PROCESSING AND INVESTIGATION OF COMPLAINTS OF MISCONDUCT BY LAW ENFORCEMENT OR CORRECTIONAL OFFICERS OR CIVILIAN OVERSIGHT OF A LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY, INVESTIGATES OF COMPLAINTS OF MISCONDUCT BY CORRECTIONAL OFFICERS OR LAW ENFORCEMENT. UNDER THE FILL ANY COA, WHICH IS TAMPA'S CRB, THAT IS CURRENTLY PERFORMING OVERSIGHT FUNCTIONS OVER COMPLAINTS OF MISCONDUCT ARE PROHIBITED TO DO SO AFTER JULY 1, 2024. EXPRESSED THAT THIS LAW SAID THERE IS THE PROHIBITION OF ANY RELATED ACTIVITIES WHERE THE INCRB WOULD OR SHOULD DO NO MATTER HOW IT WAS CREATED. GOING FORWARD, IT IS -- IT COVERS ANYTHING CREATED BY ORDINANCE. CRBs ARE COAs AND BY THIS LAW, IT IS IN THE CORNER AND SAID THEY SHOULD NOT PROCEED AFTER JULY 4. BLACK AND WHITE. I KNOW YOUR CITY ATTORNEYS HAVE A SIMILAR POSITION AND I WANT TO HAVE THAT ONE GOING FORWARD. HAVING WORKED ON THIS BILL AND HAVING CO-SPONSORED IT MYSELF, IF YOU WERE TO FIND SOME SORT OF WAY THAT YOU ARE GOING TO KEEP IT GOING, WE WILL JUST HAVE TO COME BACK TO THE DAIS, AND THEN TIGHTEN IT UP WITH WHATEVR LOOPHOLE THEY MAY HAVE FOUND. I HATE TO HAVE TO BE THAT WAY AND TALK ABOUT THIS, BUT THE INTENT OF THIS WAS TO UNIFORMLY MAKE THESE COAs ACROSS THE STATE OF FLORIDA. AND AFTER JULY 1, THEY CAN SHUT DOWN AND REOPEN AT THE WILL OF THE CITY OF TAMPA IF YOU WANT THAT UNDERNEATH THE ORDINANCE'S RULES OR STATUTE'S RULES. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU. NEXT SPEAKER. YES, MA'AM, GOOD MORNING. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. >> GOOD MORNING, DEB DEBBIE ZAMERMAN, 192 -- I DON'T HAVE TO GIVE MY ADDRESS. DEBBIE ZAMERMAN. NUMBER ONE, I HAVE TWO ITEMS TO SPEAK TO. CONGRATULATE YOU TO HAVE TAMMY HALOCK-MOORE. I HAVE DONE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF DEALS. ALL AFFORDABLE. FABULOUS. WELL-RESPECTED IN THE INDUSTRY. AND YOU HAVE A VERY EXCELLENT BOARD MEMBER WHEN YOU SELECTED HER. CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF YOU. I THINK IT IS A GOOD THING FOR THE CITY. SHE IS VERY CREATIVE. REGARDING ITEM NUMBER 77, IN AN ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION, WE DON'T THINK IT IS AN ISSUE, BUT THE DAVIS ISLAND CIVIC BOARD. WE ARE FINE WITH THE HEARING DATE FOR AUGUST 22, BUT IF THERE IS A REQUEST TO SHORTEN THE PERIOD TO A DATE EARLIER THAN AUGUST 22, WE REQUEST THAT THAT REQUEST BE DENIED. WE AREN'T AWARE OF ONE, BUT JUST OUT OF ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION. THANK YOU SO MUCH. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, MA'AM. THANK YOU SO MUCH. YES, MA'AM. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. >> IRENE GUY, CITIZEN OF TAMPA. I AM SPEAKING ON ITEM NUMBER 99, FILE NUMBER CM 24-4866. I AM SPEAKING YOU TODAY TO EXPRESS MY KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE WITH THE CITIZENS REVIEW BOARD OF THE TAMPA POLICE DEPARTMENT. I HAVE HONORABLY SERVED ON THE BOARD SINCE DECEMBER OF 2015, APPOINTED BY YOU, CITY COUNCIL. IN THE EARLY YEARS, WE WERE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH SOME PRETTY SIGNIFICANT THINGS. AS AN EXAMPLE, THE CITIZENS SURVEY CONDUCTED THROUGH NYU TO REVIEW AND COLLABORATIONS WITH TPD ON AN EXAMINATION OF RACIAL DISPARITIES AND BICYCLE STOPS AND CRIPETATIONS BY TPD OF THE VIRGINIA PARK CENTER FOR POLICING INNOVATION RESULTING TO CHANGES IN TPD. SUPPORTING THE DISTRIBUTION OF BODY-BORN CAMERAS. ENCOURAGING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS AND MUCH, MUCH MORE. THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS, CRB WAS BEING USE BY GROUPS WITH THEIR OWN AGENDAS. GIVING SUBPOENA POWER TO A BOARD OF VOLUNTEERS MANY OF WHICH ARE UNTRAINED AND NOT KNOWING THE POWER OF THE SUBPOENA. HIRING A NONCITY ATTORNEY OR SUGGESTING THAT THIS BOARD INVESTIGATE RATHER THAN REVIEW PROFESSIONAL STANDARD BUREAU CASES. THIS WAS BROUGHT IN A POLL BY JUNE 2021 WITH LEADING QUESTIONS RETURNING THE DESIRED RESULT. WITH THE PASSAGE OF HB 061, THERE HAS BEEN FURTHER INTEREST FROM OTHER GROUPS HAVING PROVIDED THEIR LAWYERS INTERPRETATION OF THE LEGISLATION TO THE CRB THAT DIFFERS FROM THE CITY ATTORNEY, THE LAWYER GOING SO FAR INDICATING THAT THE CITY ATTORNEY'S INTERPRETATION WAS WRONGBY THE IF TPD'S DESIRE TO ELIMINATE THE CRB. I DON'T KNOW WHY I AM NERVOUS. I HAVE SPOKEN TO YOU A MILLION TIMES. THE CITY'S ATTORNEY BEING THE SUPPORT FOR THE CRB HAS NOT SHOWN ANY INDICATION THEY ARE NOT SUPPORTIVE OF THE CRB. WE AS GROUP HAD MANY OPPORTUNITIES TO CHALLENGE ITEMS AND GIVEN STRAIGHTFORWARD AND TO MY KNOWLEDGE HONEST ASSESSMENTS. INSULTING FROM THE CITY STAFF THAT SOMEONE LECTURES TO US THAT WE SHOULD NOT TRUST THE STAFF. HAVING SAID ALL OF THIS, EVERYTHING HAS A SEASON AS YOU CAN TELL, WE ACCOMPLISHED MUCH WHAT WAS IN THE ORIGINAL ORDINANCES. THE LEGISLATURE SPOKEN CONTINUE TO THESE BOARDS, WE HAVE COME TO AN END AND AN INITIATIVE FOR OTHER OVERSIGHT BOARDS. HOPE THAT THIS WILL TAKE TO HEART THE COMMUNITY LIAISON THAT IS PART OF T PD, ENHANCE TRUST AND TRANSPARENCY. I FEEL CONFIDENT THAT YOU WILL TRUST IN THE CITY'S LEGAL COUNCIL AND ACCEPT THEIR INTERPRETATION OF SB 601. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT AS ALWAYS. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. GOOD MORNING, SIR. STATE YOUR NAME. >> GOOD MORNING, MENTESNOT. THAT IS SO INTERESTING. TAMPA, FLORIDA. EVERY TIME GO TO NEBRASKA AVENUE, EVERY TIME WE GET A PROSTITUTE. EVERY TIME I TELL HER AND SAY, TRUST ME, I WILL PAY YOU AFTER THE AFFAIR. WE SHOULD TRUST THE CITY STAFF? WHAT DOES THAT SOUND LIKE? AFRICAN PEOPLE GETTING MURDERED AND BEATEN AND KILLED AND BICYCLE STOPPED, TENS OF THOUSANDS OF THEM. AND WE SHOULD TRUST THE CITY STAFF? AS A MATTER OF FACT, WE DON'T NEED A POLICE REVIEW BOARD. WE NEED TO TEACH OUR YOUNG PEOPLE HOW TO RETALIATE WHEN THIS NONSENSE HAPPENS TO US. THAT IS WHAT WE NEED. WE DON'T NEED RECONCILIATION. WE NEED RETRIBUTION AND REVENGE. WE NEED MAKINGIT EVEN. THAT IS WHAT WE NEED. YOU DON'T HEAR AFRICAN PEOPLE TALK LIKE THAT. YOU DON'T HEAR AFRICAN PEOPLE SAYING WE NEED OUR OWN NUCLEAR WEAPONS. WE NEED A WAY TO PROTECT BLACK LIFE. WE RUN AROUND TALKING OF BLACK LIFE MATTER. BLACK LIVES DON'T MATTER. YOU SEE HOW THEY BEAT THE OUR DAY IN LAKELAND, IN POLK COUNTY, A KID WANTED TO GO TO THE POOL AND HAVE SOME FUN. HOW THEY MURDERED THE YOUNG AFRICAN MAN IN THE PANHANDLE IN HIS OWN HOME. TRUST THE POLICE. TRUST THE CITY ATTORNEY. TRUST WHITE FOLKS. HEY, LET'S TALK OF THE NEW AGE AND AGE OF DISCOVERY, ENLIGHTENMENT, RENAISSANCE, ALL THOSE THINGS, COLONIALISM, CAPITALISM, ALL THOSE THINGS. TALK OF US AFRICAN PEOPLE BEING 26% OF THIS POPULATION AND WE NEVER RECEIVED 26% OF THE CITY BUDGET. PRESTON SAID IT BEST, LOVING FROM NOTHING LEAVES NOTHING AND SINCE 1875, AFRICAN PEOPLE IS GETTING NOTHING FROM THE CITY. A SCARY CITY. A SCARY PLACE TO LIVE. A SCARY WORLD. 84 WEALTHIEST PLACE ON EARTH HAVE MORE WEALTH THAN FOUR BILLION PEOPLE ON THE EARTH. A SCARY WORLD WE LIVE IN. A GARBAGE CITY COUNCIL, ALL SEVEN OF YOU ALL, GARBAGE. STRAIGHT GARBAGE. TELL YOU TO YOUR FACE. I DON'T SAY ANYTHING BEHIND THEIR BACK. CAN'T GET A RESOLUTION IN PALESTINE. GOT SOME STINKING NASTY ZIONIST MURDERING PALESTINIAN BABIES CLAIMING THEY ARE LOOKING FOR HAMAS. AIN'T NO SUCH GROUP AS HAMAS. AIN'T NO SUCH GROUP. THAT IS LIKE THEY TELL YOU A BLACK DRUG DEALER. AIN'T NO SUCH THING AS A BLACK DRUG DEALER. PERIOD. THIS CITY COUNCIL CAN'T GET IT TOGETHER. GET IT TOGETHER. WE ARE 26% OF THE POPULATION. WE WANT 26% OF THE CITY'S BUDGET. WE DON'T HAVE TO BEG FOR IT. WE ARE GOING TO STAND UP AND FIGHT FOR IT. WE WILL ENCOURAGE OUR PEOPLE, INCITE OUR PEOPLE TO FIGHT FOR IT. WE ARE 26% OF THIS POPULATION. WE WANT 26% OF THE BUDGET. PLAIN AND SIMPLE. WE DON'T NEED ANY OF THIS PATERNALISTIC TALK AND THIS NONSENSE WHITE FOLKS BE TELLING US. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR. GOOD MORNING, MA'AM. >> GOOD MORNING, HAMARA APSOL. START OFF WITH A THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR TAKING ITEM 14 OFF OF THE CONSENT AGENDA WHICH SPENDING ANOTHER $280,000 FOR ANOTHER YEAR OF THE SHOT SPOTTER DETECTION PROGRAM. I ASK THAT YOU DO YOUR DUE DILIGENCE IN REVIEWING IS THAT A GOOD USE OF THE MONEY. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT ALL SHOW THERE IS, YEAH, A FIVE-MINUTE GOOGLE SEARCH WILL PULL UP ALL KINDS OF INFORMATION SHOWING THIS IS NOT A WISE USE OF INFORMATION. ASK QUESTIONS LIKE, DOES IT ACTUALLY WORK? DOES IT SEND ALERTS WITH GUNSHOTS FIRED. WERE GUNSHOTS FIRED WHEN THE ALERT WAS SENT. HOW IS IT DOCUMENTED. SHOT SPOTTER RELIES ON POLICE DEPARTMENTS. AND THAT TELLS THAT THE SHOT SPOTTER ITSELF DOESN'T HAVE ACCURATE DATA ON THEIR OWN TECHNOLOGY. PEER REVIEW, QUALITY NONBIASED STUDIES OUT THERE ASKING QUESTIONS. DOES IT LEAD TO OVERPOLICING IN LOW-INCOME BLACK AND BROWN NEIGHBORHOODS. ARE THERE OTHER BETTER WAYS TO SPEND THAT MONEY THAT ARE MORE EFFECTIVE. DOES IT ACHIEVE WHAT THE PURPOSE IS. EVERYONE WANTS TO SEE A REDUCTION IN GUN VIOLENCE. THE MONEY HAS TO BE SPENT ON PURSUING PROGRAMS THAT ARE NOT ONLY EFFECTIVE BUT COST EFFECTIVE. PLEASE, TAKE A GOOD HARD LOOK BEFORE YOU SPEND ANOTHER $280,000 ON A TECHNOLOGY THAT IS NOT EFFECTIVE AND MAY BE, IN FACT, COUNTER PRODUCTIVE. OTHER WAYS TO SPEND IT. THINGS LIKE POLICE TRAINING FOR INTERACTING WITH SOMEONE FACING A MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS. POLICE TRAINING HOW TO DISPERSE A PEACEFUL PROTEST WITHOUT USING TEAR GAS OR CAUSING PHYSICAL INJURY. SPEND IT ON BUILDING A RECRUITMENT PROGRAM THAT BUILDS A POLICE DEPARTMENT WHICH MIRRORS OUR COMMUNITY. THERE IS -- THERE IS AN OP-ED IN TODAY'S PAPER FROM CHIEF BERCAW CAW ON THAT. I ALSO HAVE SOME GENERAL CONCERN OF THE MILITARIZATION OF LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT. THESE ARE SCREEN SHOTS FROM THE YOUTUBE VIDEO. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: TURN ON THE OVERHEAD. YES, GO AHEAD. >> SCREEN SHOTS OF THE LATEST PD RECRUITMENT VIDEO. A CUTE PUPPY DOG. SHOTS OF SMILING POLICE OFFICERS. BUT OVERALL, THIS THEME ABOUT THE USE OF FORCE. THERE IS REALLY A WRONG THEME THAT IT SEEMS IF YOU LOOK AT -- IF -- YOU LOOK AT THAT VIDEO, IT LOOKS LIKE YOU ARE RECRUITING FOR A MILITARY OCCUPATION. THESE ARE NOT THE KINDS OF THINGS THAT PROMOTE THE KIND OF POLICE FORCE THAT CHIEF BERCAW IS TALKING ABOUT IN THTHAT OP-ED. AGAIN THESE ARE THE KIND OF THINGS THAT ARE FEATURED IN THAT RECRUITMENT VIDEO. EVERYBODY -- LOTS OF GUNS. EVEN GUYS TALKING STANDING THERE WITH THEIR GUNS. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MA'AM. >> LAST ONE. THAT'S IT. USF. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU. AND PLEASE SILENCE YOUR CELL PHONE. >> OH, SORRY. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, SIR. GOOD MORNING, STATE YOUR NAME. >> CHRIS HICKS, A MEMBER O OF DRANA, A BOARD -- WE MET WITH YOU A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO ABOUT THE NOISE ORDINANCE AND I WANT TO BRING SOMETHING BEFORE THE COUNCIL FOR IMMEDIATE INJUNCTION IF WE COULD. WE WORKED DILIGENTLY WITH THE TAMPA DOWNTOWN PARTNERSHIP AND CONSTRUCTION SERVICES TO LIMIT THEIR ACTIVITIES DOWNTOWN. THE COURT, DOWNTOWN DISTRICT, THE ARENA DISTRICT AND CHANNEL DISTRICT ALL HAVE A NOISE ORDINANCE FOR QUIET BETWEEN 7 P.M. AND 7 A.M. WE HAVE UNFORTUNATELY BEEN ABLE TO GET ONE OF THESE CITY CONTRACTORS, TAMPA WASTE TO COMPLY WITH THE NOISE ORDINANCE. THEY ARE COMING AT 4 A.M. AND DROPPING 600-POUND DUMPSTERS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WAKING UP THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE IN THE PROCESS. I INTERFACED WITH THEM AND SPOKE TO THE MANAGEMENT AND THE COPY OF THE ORDINANCE THEY ARE WORKING UNDER THAT WAS UNFORTUNATELY STRICKEN TWO MONTHS AFTER IT WAS ADOPTED IN AUGUST OF 2016. THAT ORDINANCE SAY REASONABLE NOISE MADE IN THE DIRECTION OF A GOVERNMENT ENTITY AND FACILITY. IT WAS ONLY IN EFFECT FOR TWO MONTHS AND TAMPA WASTE IS UNDER THE ASSUMPTION THAT IS THE ORDINANCE THEY CAN WORK UNDER. CURRENT ORDINANCE HAS MULTIPLE LINES AND OBVIOUSLY I KNOW THAT COUNCIL IS UPDATING THESE. IF THE SOUND IS CONCURRENT, INTERMITTENT OR THAT JARS INJURIES THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF A REASONABLE INDIVIDUAL OF ORDINARY SENSIBILITIES. I HAVE SEEN NEIGHBORS WAKE UP AT 4:00 IN THE MORNING AND GO CONFRONT GARBAGE MEN. JUST A PROBLEM WE WANT IMMEDIATE INJUNCTION ON. IN MY COMMUNICATION WITH CITY WASTE, THEY SAID THEY WILL ONLY ADJUST THE SCHEDULED AT THE DIRECTION OF CITY COUNCIL. THAT'S WHY I'M HERE TODAY TO ASK WITH THAT. WE WILL FOLLOW UP WITH OUR SUBSEQUENT MEET WITH THE OTHER NOISE ORDINANCE ISSUES WE ARE WORKING ON. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. GOOD MORNING,ER IS. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. >> GOOD MORNING, JAMES SHAW. I LIVE IN WEST TAMPA. AN ATTORNEY. BACK WHEN ONLY MECHANICS OF TAMPA POLICE DEPARTMENT KNEW OF THE CRIME FREE MULTIHOUSING PROGRAM, RENTING WHILE BLACK PROGRAM. THEY DIDN'T SEE ANY PROBLEMS. IT MADE CITIZENS FOR THEM TO EVICT A GRANDMOTHER BECAUSE OF A PETTY CRIME THAT HER GRANDSON HAS COMMITTED WITHIN THE SAME HOUSE HOLD OR EVICT A WOMAN BECAUSE HER DOMESTIC PARTNER OR HER HUSBAND AS COMMITTED A DOMESTIC BATTERY ON HER AND MADE NUMBERS GO DOWN AND DISCOURAGED HER OF MAKING A PHONE CALL. WHEN YOUR ONLY METRICS THAT CRIME IS GOING DOWN. THINGS MAKE SENSE THAT DON'T MAKE SENSE WHEN WE LOOK AT IT. WHEN WE LOOKED AT THE MULTIHOUSING CRIME PROGRAM, IT WOULDN'T STAND THE LIGHT OF DAY AND THEY ENDED IT. IMPORTANT TO HAVE A DIALOGUE BETWEEN COMMUNITY AND LAW ENFORCEMENT. NOT A GOOD IDEA TO HAVE LAW ENFORCEMENT MAKE DECISIONS WITHIN THE LAW ENFORCEMENT BUBBLE WITHOUT CONSULTING WITH THE OUTSIDE. SO I WANTED TO TURN THE HOUSE BILL 601. PUT IT RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU. YOU HEARD FROM A LEGISLATOR SAYING WHAT HE MEANT FOR IT TO SAY. WE HAVE ONE MEMBER OF THE BAR ON CITY COUNCIL THAT CAN TELL THE REST OF YOU IT IS NOT WHAT IT IS MEANT TO SAY, WHAT IT DOES SAY. YOU INTERPRET A STATUTE BY ITS WORDS AND YOU DON'T BRING MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLATURE TO COURT. IT DOESN'T SAY THAT THE CRB IS PROHIBIT PROPOSED REGULAR VIEWS CLOSED INVESTIGATIONS. FIRST OFF, AN ORDINANCE REMEMBER OURS WAS SET UP PURSUANT TO AN EXECUTIVE ORDER THAT I SUPPOSE YOU CAN RESCIND BUT HAVEN'T. ORDINANCE MEANS THE WHOLE THING YOU CAN IGNORE. THE RECEIPT AND PROCESSING OF COMPLAINTS IS MEANT TO BE UNIFORM, BUT IT ALREADY WAS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS BILL OF RIGHT AND NO CHANGES THERE. INVESTIGATION. THE CRB DOES NOT INVESTIGATE. IT RESCVIEWS A CLOSED INVESTIGATION. ONCE AN INVESTIGATION IS CLOSED, YOU WILL NOT INVESTIGATING ANYMORE. YOU WILL HEAR THIS WORD "OVERSIGHT." I KNOW YOU WILL SEE A POWERPOINT PRESENTATION IN A MINUTE AND SHOW YOU THE SLIDE OF THE NATIONAL CIVILIAN OVER LAW ENFORCEMENT. AND THE FIRST WORD IS "NATIONAL." THERE ARE BOARDS ACROSS THE COUNTRY THAT ACTUALLY DO EXERCISE OVERSIGHT OVER LAW ENFORCEMENT. YOU KNOW WHAT OVERSIGHT MEANS. IF SOMEBODY OVERSEES YOU, THEY HAVE SOME KIND OF CONTROL OVER YOU. THEY HAVE SOME KIND OF REGULATORY AUTHORITY OVER YOU. THE CRB DOES NOT HAVE ANY CONTROL OR REGULATORY AUTHORITY OVER THE TAMPA POLICE DEPARTMENT. ALL THICK DO IS REVIEW A CLOSED INVESTIGATION. AND SAY THUMBS UP OR THUMBS DOWN AND NO EFFECT TO THE THUMBS UP OR DOWN. WE HAVE A CIVILIAN REVIEW BOARD. AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE TEXT OF THE ORDINANCE, IT REVIEWS CLOSED INVESTIGATIONS. ONCE AN INVESTIGATION IS CLOSED YOU ARE NOT INVESTIGATING ANYMORE. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> PLEASE READ THE STATUTE FOR WHAT IT ACTUALLY SAID AND NOT FOR WHAT SOMEBODY MEANT FOR IT TO SAY. THANK YOU. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU. GOOD MORNING, MA'AM. >> GOOD MORNING, VALLEY BULLET FROM PONCE DE LEON IN COLLEGE HILL. I WANT TO TALK OF ITEM NUMBER 14, THE GUNFIRE DETECTION SYSTEM. SOMETHING 280,000 -- SOMETHING THAT THE MONEY COULD BE SPENT ON SOMETHING BETTER LIKE HOUSING IN EAST TAMPA, AFFORDABLE HOUSING BASED ON YOUR NORTH CAROLINA, WHERE THE TENANTS GET AND HAVE SOMEWHERE TO STAY. JOB TRAINING SO MAYBE ONE DAY THEY WILL GET A JOB AND AFFORD TO RENT SOMEWHERE. THAT IS NOT NEEDED HERE. WE ALREADY HAVE THINGS IN PLACE, BUTTER IN NOT ENFORCED. A LOT OF THE KIDS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT HAVE THE GUNS ARE 12, 13, 14 YEARS OLD. THEY CAN NOT GET A GUN LICENSE? HOW ARE THEY GETTING THE GUN, FROM THE GUN OWNERS. THEY LEAVE THEM IN THE CAR AND THEIR CAR IS UNLOCKED OR THE CAR GETS BROKEN INTO. SO IF WE ARREST THE PEOPLE WHO DO THAT DECENT PRACTICE GUN SAFETY, IT WILL BE LESS GUNS ON THE STREET. SO WE DON'T NEED NOTHING TO SHOW US WHERE THE BULLET COME FROM. WE KNEW TO ENFORCE THE LAWS THAT ARE ALREADY THERE. AND I WANT TO TALK OF EAST TAMPA CRA. THE OLDEST IN THE COUNTY ANDTH MOST DYSFUNCTIONAL ONE THAT WE GOT. WHY IS EAST TAMPA THE ONLY CRA THAT IS PAYING A POLICE OFFICER $200,000 WE ARE YEAR TO AN AN ENVIRONMENTAL AGENT. WHY IS THE JOB NOT CONTRACTED TO AN EAST TAMPA RESIDENT WHO CAN HIRE THREE MORE RESIDENTS. WE HAVE A LOT OF HAULING COMPANIES WITHIN EAST TAMPA. WHY CAN'T EAST TAMPA RESIDENT GET THE POSITION? ONCE AGAIN, A BLATANT EXAMPLE OF HOW THE CITY OF TAMPA CATERS TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. IF GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY, SOMEONE WE KNOW AND TRUST WILL TAKE PRIDE THAT THEIR JOB AND EDUCATE THE RESIDENCE ON THE IMPORTANCE OF REFUSE, REUSE AND RECYCLE. THAT PERSON WILL HAVE A SCHEDULED AND GO TO EACH AREA IN EAST TAMPA ON A ROTATING BASIS BUILDING PRIDE IN THE COMMUNITY. AND THAT IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO. IT IS REAL SAD THAT IT APPEARS THAT EAST TAMPA HAS TO BE OVERPOLICED IN ALL AREAS. THE ONLY CRA THAT HAS THAT POSITION AND A CLOSED PRIVATE POSITION. YOU CAN'T GET NO PUBLIC INFORMATION IT. AND THE JOB CAN ONLY GO TO A RETIRED POLICE OFFICER. WHY DID TPD OFFICERS GET POSITIONS THAT ARE MADE JUST FOR THEM? MISMANAGEMENT OF FUNDS. WE NEED AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND JOB TRAINING. WE HAVE MONEY BEING FUNNELED AWAY FROM THE COMMUNITY INTO OTHER AREAS. THAT IS NOT WHAT THE COMMUNITY WANT OR ANYTHING THAT WOULD BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY. IT IS LIKE A KICKBACK. WE NEED FEDERAL OVERSIGHT OF THE EAST TAMPA AND AN INVESTIGATION OR CONSENT ORDER. CERTAIN SOCIOECONOMIC CLASSES AND PEOPLE OF COLOR ARE BEING TARGETED. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MA'AM. >> THANK YOU. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, MA'AM. GOOD MORNING, MA'AM. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. >> MY NAME IS POKEVA DEVLIN AND I'M HERE TO SPEAK ON THE HOUSING CRISIS THAT WE HAVE. ME PERSONALLY, MYSELF, HOUSING IS LIFE OR DEATH FOR ME. I CANNOT GET A DOUBLE TRANSPLANT KIDNEY AND PANCREAS IF I DO NOT HAVE STABLE HOUSING. I ALSO HAVE CHILDREN. I AM ONLY 33. IT'S HARD. IT IS HARD FOR ME TO DO ANYTHING THAT I NEED TO DO. I LITERALLY CUT MY DIALYSIS TREATMENT 30 MINUTES SHORT GET HERE AND SPEAK ON BEHALF OF MYSELF AND OTHERS THAT MAY NEED HOUSING IN THE COMMUNITY. YEAH, IT'S -- IT IS JUST VERY HARD WITH THE AMOUNT OF RENT THEY WANT YOU TO PAY AND THE COMMUNITIES THEY HAVE THE AMOUNTS FOR, BEING HARD EVERYWHERE. I, MYSELF, HAVE EXHAUSTED EVERY AGENCY OR COMMUNITY RESOURCE THAT WE HAVE. I HAVE EXHAUSTED EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM. AND I CANNOT GET ANY HELP. AND I JUST FEEL LIKE THIS IS -- THIS IS -- IS INHUMANE. I -- I DON'T -- THAT THE POINT, I AM NOT EVEN SURE WHAT ELSE TO DO. AND LIKE I SAID, THIS IS WHY I CAME HERE TODAY TO SEE IF WE CAN GET SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THIS. BECAUSE I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY THE ONE. MAYBE I AM THE ONLY ONE WITH THE KNOWLEDGE TO COME HERE AND SPEAK ON BEHALF OF EVERYONE, BUT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE IN THIS SITUATION. AND SOMETHING HAS TO GIVE. THERE ARE MONEY BEING SPENT ON THINGS LIKE A LOBBY OF A TRAIN STATION WHEN I AM HOMELESS. I HAVE A DISABLED CHILD ALSO WITH ME. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN. ONE OF THEM IS DISABLED. I'M HERE TO SPEAK ON THAT. AS FAR AS WHAT CAN ACTUALLY BE DONE WITH THE RESOURCES OR THE MONEY THAT WE ARE GETTING FOR THE CITY. SO THAT'S WHAT I'M HERE FOR. THANK YOU. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MA'AM. CHIEF BENNETT, CAN YOU EXCHANGE -- GET HER INFORMATION AS WELL, SIR. HOME RUN THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR. YES, MA'AM, GOOD MORNING IF GOOD MORNING. KIMBERLY WARD. AND I AM ON BEHALF OF HOUSING. AND IT IS JUST LIKE -- YOU SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE AT WALMART, IN STATIONS, IN CARS, RESTAURANTS. I KNOW Y'ALL HAVE SEEN ME. IF YOU GO TO BURGER KING OR, YOU KNOW, YOUR NEXT VISIT OF THE WALMART. LOOK IN THE BACK -- LOOK IN THE BACK OF WALMART. LOOK AROUND YOU. SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS. BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT LOOKING AT THE FACT THAT DAMN, THAT PERSON NEEDS HOUSING THAT PERSON NEEDS THIS. WHY -- WHY ARE WE LETTING ALL THESE MONIES GO TO WASTE FOR JUST -- I AM TALKING IN GENERAL IN PUBLIC. I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT BLACK, WHITE AND INDIFFERENT, I AM TALKING OF ALL OF US. LET US A OF US GET ALONG AND TRY TO HELP PEOPLE. I HAVE BEEN STRUGGLING FOR A LONG TIME TO GET ON SECTION 8. Y'ALL HAVE BEEN SAYING TWO YEARS, TWO YEARS, TWO YEARS. WHEN IS IT GOING TO OPEN AGAIN FOR US IN FLORIDA? WHEN IS IT GOING TO REALLY OPEN RIGHT HERE IN TAMPA FOR US? PEOPLE. PEOPLE IN GENERAL. OLDER. YOUNGER. PEOPLE OUT ON THE STREETS. I SEE YOUNG BABIES OUT IN A CAR. ACTUAL CAR. SLEEPING IN CARS. WHAT -- WHAT -- WHAT DO WE HAVE TO DO TO GET THESE OPENINGS UP FOR US. PEOPLE. THE PEOPLE. THAT IS WHAT I AM LOOKING AT, THE PEOPLE. YOU SEE THESE PEOPLE. Y'ALL NEED TO LOOK AT IT. Y'ALL NEED TO LOOK AT THIS. WHEN YOU GO SHOPPING THE NEXT TIME. OR YOU ARE TAKING YOUR KIDS TO THE PARK OR SOMETHING. LOOK AT THESE PEOPLE. THEY ARE -- WE ARE STRUGGLING. WE ARE STRUGGLING AS A PEOPLE. THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MA'AM. YES, MA'AM. >> GOOD MORNING. MY NAME IS ARLENE MURRAY. I AM 83 YEARS OLD. I HAVE GONE THROUGH A LOT. I AM A RESIDENT HERE FOR 30 YEARS. I WAS BORN IN NEW YORK CITY. I AM NOW YOUR CITY. I AM SORRY YOU CANNOT HEAR ME WELL.

I GO TO GET A JOB, AND I AM TREATED NOT NICE. I GO TO GET A HOME, I CAN'T GET A HOME. BECAUSE OF MY INCOME. WHY? THE QUESTION IS, WHY IS FLORIDA SO BACKWARDS? COULD SOMEONE GIVE ME AN ANSWER? CAN SOMEONE GIVE ME AN ANSWER YOUR SO BACKWARDS. YOU COME TO CALIFORNIA, THEY ARE ALL AHEAD OF YOU. THEY ARE ALL AHEAD OF YOU. SOME WOULD LOVE TO SAY BUT I WILL NOT SAY THEM HERE AND KEEP IT TO MYSELF. KEEP IT TO MYSELF BECAUSE YOU ARE SO BACKWARDS. SOURCE IMPAIRED. YOU TREAT YOUR -- YOUR -- YOUR NEIGHBORS -- THANK YOU. I WILL LEAVE NOW. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YOU HAVE 30 MORE SECONDS. >> I -- CAN I NOT TALK TOO MUCH LONGER BECAUSE OF MY IMPEDIMENT. BUT I WOULD LIKE ANSWERS. THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO KNOW. WHY YOU -- WHY YOU HAVE BABIES LIVING OUT ON THE STREET. YOU HAVE LITTLE KIDS LIVING OUT ON THE STREET IN -- THANK YOU. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES, MA'AM. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. GOOD MORNING, MA'AM. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. >> GOOD MORNING. CONNIE BURTON. I AM SO THANKFUL YOUNG PEOPLE ARE IN THE AUDIENCE TODAY. THE MAYOR'S COUNCIL. SO THEY WILL SEE A CITY THAT THEY WILL INHERIT. THE ARE THE PEOPLE. THE PEOPLE WHO COME DOWN HERE AND TALK ABOUT THE ONGOING CRISIS IN OUR COMMUNITY, AND YET THIS AGENDA DON'T REFLECT THAT YOU UNDERSTAND ANY OF IT. SEVEN COMMITTEES. I LOOKED THROUGH THE AGENDA AND I SAID, WELL, HOW DO AFRICAN-AMERICANS IN THIS CITY, POOR PEOPLE IN THIS CITY, ECONOMICALLY BENEFIT? HOW DO YOU HAVE PEOPLE THAT IS NOW MOVING TOWARD COMMITTEES TO HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING THAT HOUSING CRISIS WILL NOT BE SOLVED UNLESS WE CAN BUILD FROM THE FOUNDATION UP ECONOMICALLY. THE REFUSAL FOR YOU TO DO JUST SOME OF THE MINIMAL STUFF. SO WE TALK OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING. WE WATCH HOW AFFORDABLE HOUSING. THE WORDING GETS HIJACKED. GO FROM AFFORDABLE HOUSING TO WORKFORCE HOUSING TO STUDENT HOUSING. I AM GOING TO GIVE YOU A NEW WORD THIS MORNING. AND LET'S TALK ABOUT GENOCIDE. PURPOSELY KILLING OFF. WHEN PEOPLE DON'T HAVE DIGNITY. PEOPLE DON'T HAVE HOPE. WHEN YOUNG PEOPLE HAVE GIVEN UP. WHEN WE SEE OUR COMMUNITY BEING DISMANTLED WITH GENTRIFICATION AND ALL RIGHT BY Y'ALL, BECAUSE YOU STILL APPROVE DEVELOPERS THAT YOU GIVE THESE LOW-INCOME LOANS TO FOR 100 YEARS, BUT YET, STILL, YOU CAN'T EVEN FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO A SIMPLE STUDIO APARTMENT. MAMA AND DAUGHTER BEGGING FOR HOUSING. A YOUNG WOMAN TALKING ABOUT A LIFE AND DEATH SITUATION ON DIALYSIS. LIVING OUT OF A CAR. SO WE DID A LITTLE WORKSHOP -- COMMUNITY WORKSHOP, WE SAID, HEY, LET'S HEAR ABOUT WHAT THE PROBLEMS ARE, BECAUSE HONESTLY OUR CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS DON'T GET IT. BUT I CAN ASSURE YOU, MOVING FORWARD -- THAT IS ALL YOU ARE GOING TO HEAR FROM US, HOUSING CRISIS. IF WE HAVE TO COME IN FRONT OF YOUR FRONT DOOR, THAT IS ALL YOU ARE GOING TO HEAR. HOUSING. HOUSING CRISIS. NOT THE ONES THAT THE EAST TAMPA CRA IS NOW JUST BUYING PROPERTY OR ASSIMILATING PROPERTY. WE ARE WATCHING THE TOP TIER OF THE HOUSING DEPARTMENT, THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT FROM NICOLE TRAVIS ON DOWN ABANDON AND LEAVE THEIR JOBS. THEY CAN COME HERE AND SAY WHATEVER THEY WANT TO. PEOPLE HAVE A RIGHT TO GO. WHY ARE WE GOING WHEN WE HAVE SUCH A SERIOUS CRISIS IN THIS COMMUNITY. WHEN THE MAYOR GO, MANY OF HER SENIOR STAFF WILL GO. I DO KNOW THIS. SOME OF YOU MAY WANT TO CONTINUE ON WITH YOUR POLITICAL CAREER. AND YOU BETTER BE CAUTIOUS BECAUSE WE TOLD YOU REPEATEDLY AND YOU HAVE COME TO OUR COMMUNITY SAYING ALL THIS DEAL WITH THE ISSUES AND DAMN IT, YOU HAVEN'T. MANISCALCO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. NEXT SPEAKER. GOOD MORNING. >> GOOD MORNING, THANK YOU. STHASH STACK. A FAMILY WHO LIVES NEXT DOOR TO MY HOUSE WHO ORCHESTRATED THREE FALSE PROSECUTION OF ME ENJOYING SPECIAL TREATMENT BY YOUR POLICE DEPARTMENT. SPENT TIME SHINING LASERS AT MY FACE AND MY DOG'S FACE AND LIED UNDER OATH TO DEFAME ME INCLUDING MY HEARING HERE IN SEPTEMBER TO DISCOURAGE ME POSSESSION TO HIDE FROM HER FAMILY AND THE ACCOMPLICES THEY ACT OUT AGAINST ME. IN FEBRUARY, DAYS AFTER THE SECOND DEVASTATING ABATEMENT OF MY FLORIDA FRIENDLY LANDSCAPE, CALLED IN A COMPLAINT TO CODE ENFORCEMENT. MARCH, INSPECTION, NO VIOLATION. APRIL, IDENTIFY COMPLAINT. CONTACTED THE MAYOR'S OFFICE FOR SPECIAL TREATMENT. NO VIOLATIONS AMONG HER COMPLAINTS BUT OBLIGATED TO FIND SOMETHING WRONG AND OPENED NEW SELECTIVE ENFORCEMENT CASES. THE NEIGHBORHOOD ENHANCEMENT CREW WAS ORDERED TO ACT OUT AGAINST ME FOR THE THIRD TIME I AM AWARE OF. AT THE BEHEST OF MY TORMENTERING, SHREDDED THE CODE COMPLAINT ANY I HAVE IT PLANTS BETWEEN THE SIDEWALKS AND ROAD LIKE I SAID BEFORE, MOWING NATIVE PLANTS DOWN TO THE SOIL SERVICE IS NOT AN ENHANCEMENT TO ANY NEIGHBORHOOD. REPLACING LUSH NATIVE FLOWERING PLANTS WITH BARE DIRT, MUD DOES NOT MAKE THE CITY LOOK GOOD. REDUCED THE HEIGHT OF THE PRIVACY HEDGE AND REMOVED ALL OF THE LIMBS SHADING THE SIDEWALK. THEY ALSO MOVED SEVEN GR GREEN FRONDS FROM THE PALMETTOS ON THE RIGHT-OF-WAY AND ATTACK OF THE APPEARANCE AND THE VALUE TO WILDLIFE AND VIOLATION OF INDUSTRY STANDARDS. NONE OF THIS WAS NECESSARY. AND ABSOLUTELY FOOLISH TO REMOVE SHADE ANYWHERE, ESPECIALLY FROM A SIDEWALK. ADDITION LEGAL OBEYING THE DEMAND OF MY TORMENTERS WILL ENCOURAGE THEM OF THEIR CAMPAIGN AGAINST ME AND A MISUSE OF CITY RESOURCES. THIS IS EVIL. PLEASE HELP. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MA'AM. MISS LOCKETT. GOOD MORNING. >> GOOD MORNING. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME. >> YOU ALREADY SAID IT. ROBIN LOCKETT. A LOT GOING ON TODAY. AND COUNCIL IS FULL, FULL OF EMOTIONS. NOT ONE, NOT TWO, BUT THREE. PEOPLE HAVE RESIGNED WITHIN THE LAST ONE OR TWO MONTHS. VERY IMPORTANT PEOPLE. PEOPLE THAT I WAS EXCITED ABOUT DOING SOMETHING DIFFERENT. CREATING SOMETHING DIFFERENT. CREATING SOMETHING SUSTAINABLE. THAT THE CITY CAN CONTINUE IN THE NEAR FUTURE, RIGHT. ALTHOUGH I AM SAD, I DO UNDERSTAND. THERE IS SOMETHING IN THE MIST ABOUT CULTURE. AND WITH THE CITY -- THE CITY HAS A CERTAIN CULTURE. AND -- AND WITH THAT CULTURE -- THE CITY IS GOING TO REALIZE THAT PEOPLE ARE NOT GOING TO STAND -- STAY IN ONE PLACE AND GET ABUSED. GET NEGLECTED. GET -- ALL OF THE BAD THINGS, RIGHT. THEY ARE NOT GOING -- THEY ARE NOT GOING TO DO IT. ONCE UPON A TIME WHEN I WAS GROWING UP AND I WAS GETTING A JOB, I WAS TAUGHT -- ALTHOUGH I DIDN'T DO IT. I WAS TAUGHT. GET A JOB. LOOK FOR RETIREMENT. STAY THERE FOR 30 YEARS. WHAT THE CITY AND EVERYBODY ELSE HAVE TO REALIZE THESE -- GENERATION NOW, THEY ARE NOT DOING IT. IF THEY DON'T LIKE HOW THEY ARE BEING TREATED. IF THEY -- IF -- IF ANYTHING IS WRONG THAT THEY CAN NOT HANDLE OR THEY DON'T WANT TO HANDLE -- NOT EVEN CAN'T, THEY DON'T WANT TO HANDLE. SELF-KAY. AND? PEOPLE ARE PUTTING THOSE THINGS FIRST. HOW DOES THE CITY CHANGE THAT CULTURE HOW DOES THE CITY CHANGE THAT CULTURE. YOU ARE LOSING THREE VERY IMPORTANT PEOPLE AND IT IS SAD. NO MATTER WHAT ROAD MAP THEY CREATED. AND NO MATTER WHAT THEY BEGAN TO PUT IN -- BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T FINISHED -- BEGAN TO PUT IN PLACE. PEOPLE HAVE TO THE WILL TO FINISH THAT WORK AND THE HEART TO FINISH THAT WORK AND THAT IS GOING TO BE DIFFICULT. I AM SAD BECAUSE OF THAT. WORK AROUND HOUSING. IT IS A HOUSING CRISIS. NO IFs, ANDs OR BUTs ABOUT IT. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE AND IT. QUICKLY, NUMBER 93 IS COMING UP. THE CITY HAS THE ENJOYMENT IN SPEAKING WITH -- DURING PUBLIC COMMENTS WITH THE CITY IS THAT THE CITY ALLOWS PEOPLE TO COME AND SPEAK. THEY DON'T KICK -- DON'T HANDCUFF PEOPLE. THEY DON'T CUT TIME. IF THERE IS A LOT OF PEOPLE, YOU GUY ALLOW PEOPLE TO HAVE THEIR FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT AND SPEAK. CUTTING THE TIME DOWN TO TWO MINUTES BECAUSE THERE ARE 50 PEOPLE IN LINE. CURBING YOURSELF TO WHAT THE CITY -- I MEAN WHAT THE COUNTY AND THE SCHOOL BOARD DOES I THINK WOULD BE AN INJUSTICE TO WHAT THE CITY STANDS FOR. YOU ALLOW PEOPLE TO SPEAK OPENLY AND SPEAK ALOUD. AND I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT BEING THE PLACE IN -- BEING SUSTAINABLE. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MA'AM. THAT CONCLUDES IN-PERSON PUBLIC COMMENT. WE ARE GOING TO GO TO THE REGISTERED PUBLIC SPEAKERS. NATALIE IS THE FIRST SPEAKER. IS NATALIE ON? OKAY. NATALIE, IF YOU ARE ON. PLEASE UNMUTE YOURSELF. STATE YOUR NAME. YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES.

THE SECOND PART IS THE BUSINESS SIDE OF THE TABLE WHERE RESIDENTS WILL BE CONNECTED TO BUSINESSES THROUGHOUT WEST TAMPA. AS YOU ALL KNOW, WE HAVE ALL KINDS OF BUSINESSES IN WEST TAMPA. THIS WILL CONNECT RESIDENTS TO BUSINESSES AND INCREASE THE OVERALL PROFIT FOR BUSINESSES. IN ADDITION TO CREDIBLE PROCUREMENT IS GOING TO BE TAUGHT THERE AS WELL. AND ANOTHER UNIQUE THING IS RESIDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO RATE THE BUSINESSES IN WEST TAMPA TO AKE SURE THEY ARE MEETING THE NEEDS OF WEST TAMPA. SO I DID SEND YOU A VIDEO FROM A GUY, CHARLES ADAMS. IN SULPHUR SPRINGS. WE WILL BE WORKING WITH THE SULPHUR SPRINGS GROUP TO PUT TOGETHER -- WE HAVE ALREADY STARTED A NONPROFIT. BUT WITH MR. ADAMS. IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE WANT TO CREATE A TABLE TO PROMOTE CHANGE FROM WITHIN USING BEST PRACTICES AS WELL AS NATIONAL FUNDING TO WORK WITH THAT OPTION.

JOHN BENNETT, CHIEF OF STAFF. GOOD MORNING TO OUR PUBLIC. AS MENTIONED ON MAY 16 DURING THE ADMINISTRATIVE UPDATE, THE ADMINISTRATION WAS ABLE TO REPLACE RUSSELL HALPERT AFTER HE RETIRED FROM OUR TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION DEPARTMENT. MOST OF THE PUBLIC KNOW THAT AS E.T. OR INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY. THE MAYOR IS HONORED TO NOMINATE ERIC HAYDEN WHO HAS BEEN WITH THE CITY SINCE 1986. AND HE HAS PROGRESSIVELY WORKED IN THESE ROLES IN OUR TNI DEPARTMENT AS OUR NEW TECHNOLOGY CHIEF INFORMATION OFFICER AND DIRECTOR OF WHAT WE WOULD CALL TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION. HE HAS MASTER'S DEGREE. HE IS OBVIOUSLY WELL -- HE COMPETED WELL AGAINST 93 OTHER CANDIDATES NATIONWIDE AND FOR HIS JOURNEY TO BE NOMINATE BY THE MAYOR FOR THE POTENTIAL APPOINTMENT FROM COUNCIL. AS ALWAYS, I WANT TO THANK COUNCIL FOR SUPPORT DURING THIS PROCESS. AND THE BACKGROUND INFORMATION OF THE DEPARTMENT AS WELL AS HIS VITAE HAVE BEEN ON BASIN THE AGENDA ITEM WAS ESTABLISHED. HE IS JOINED HERE TODAY BY HIS FAMILY THAT I WILL LET HIM INTRODUCE AND HIS SENIOR LEADERSHIP TEAM. WITH THAT, I WILL SEND IT BACK TO COUNCIL. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. MR. HAYDEN, ANYTHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO SAY? >> GOOD MORNING, CHAIR AND COUNCIL. I AM ERIC HEADWIN TNI. I HAVE BEEN WITH SEVERAL DIFFERENT ROLES WITH I.T., HELPED OVER CUSTOMER AND EVERY CITIZEN AS FAR AS OUR COMMUNITIES, AND ALSO THROUGH OUR DEPARTMENTS. WE ARE BIG WITH BUSINESS, PROCESS IMPROVEMENT AND WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF MONEY TO DO THINGS, SO WE MAKE SURE ALL DEPARTMENTS GET WHAT THEY CAN WITH WHAT THEY HAVE. I STAND BEFORE YOU NOMINATED BY THE MAYOR AND CHIEF OF STAFF'S HONOR. AND I APPRECIATE YOUR VOTE AND CONSIDERATION FOR MY APPOINTMENT. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMEMBER MIRANDA. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. CURIOSITY FROM '86 TO NOW. 38 YEARS. YOU HAVE BEEN HERE A LITTLE LONGER THAN MOST OF US. AND I APPRECIATE WHAT YOU HAVE DONE AND WHAT YOUR STAFF HAS DONE. AND TAKES COOPERATION OF EVERYONE IN YOUR DEPARTMENT WORKING WITH EVERYONE AND WORKING WITH THE CITY OVER 4,000 OF US. AND YOU GOT A VERY DIFFICULT JOB. BECAUSE YOU GOT THESE COMPUTERS EVERYWHERE. AND SOMETIMES THEY WORK. AND SOMETIMES IT -- THE COMPUTER. SOMETIMES IT IS THE OPERATOR. THIS MY CASE YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY BECAUSE I DON'T DO ANY OF THAT. ONE LESS PROBLEMIN THAT YOU HAVE. BUT I APPRECIATE ALL YOUR EMPLOYEES WHEN WE CALL AND THEY SHOW UP AND THEY FIX IT. THEY ADDRESS HOW TO FIX IT AND WITH THAT, I APPLAUD TO YOU AND YOUR DEPARTMENT FOR WHAT YOU DO ON A DAILY BASIS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR SERVICE. AND I MOVE THE RECOMMENDATION. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK AND CARLSON. >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU. I WHOLEHEARTEDLY SUPPORT YOUR NOMINATION. YOU AND I HAD QUITE A FEW CONVERSATION ABOUT MANY DIFFERENT THINGS AND I REALLY APPRECIATE THE WAY THAT YOU ANSWER MEMBER PRESIDENT OF COMMUNITY'S QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW CERTAIN THINGS ARE RUN AND YOU ARE OPEN TO -- TO LISTENING AND OPENING TO CHANGING THINGS AND ALSO THAT YOU AND YOUR TEAM ARE WORKING SO HARD TO TRY TO MODERNIZE A BIG, GIANT, DIFFICULT TO CHANGE AGENCY LIKE ANY TYPE OF GOVERNMENT, BUT FOR US, PARTICULARLY, AND REALLY APPRECIATE THE WAY THAT YOU ARE TRYING TO DRAG THE CITY KICKING AND SCREAMING INTO THE 1st CENTURY. ONE OF THOSE THINGS -- I WILL PUT YOU ON THE SPOT RIGHT HERE, BECAUSE -- BECAUSE YOU ARE HERE TODAY. YOU AND I HAVE TALKED QUITE A BIT ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY. WHILE I WAS GONE, COUNCIL VOTED TO USE COMMENT CARDS AND LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF TIME PEOPLE ARE ABLE TO SPEAK DURING PUBLIC COMMENT. AND REALLY, THE MAIN ISSUE IS, TRYING TO GET PEOPLE'S NAMES. AND MAKING SURE THEY ARE SPELLED CORRECTLY FOR THE CLERK AND FOR THE CHAIR. SO REALLY, WHAT -- WHAT I HAVE TALKED TO YOU ABOUT, AND WHAT MY AIDE TULLY TALKED TO YOU ABOUT IS THE ACT TO HAVE TECHNOLOGY HERE IN COUNCIL CHAMBERS SO PEOPLE CAN TYPE IN THEIR INFORMATION AND ALL OF THAT IS AVAILABLE. YOU AND I TALKED OF THE POSSIBILITY TO DO THAT PRETTY SOON. CAN YOU SPEAK TO THAT A LITTLE BIT. >> SURE, ABSOLUTELY. WHAT THE COUNCILWOMAN IS REFERRING TO A SIGN-UP ROUTINE WITH A KIOSK. WE HAVE A PILOT -- WE PROTOTYPED A SOLUTION THAT WE ARE HAVING READY FOR REVIEW. AT COUNCIL'S PLEASURE TO ACTUALLY LOOK AT IT AND SEE IF IT SUIT PURPOSES. COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK HAD A GOOD IDEA OF STARTING WITH MAYBE A SMALL GROUP BEFORE WE GO INTO A LARGER GROUP WITH MUCH MORE DENSER POPULATION. BUT WHAT THIS WOULD BE IS A SIMPLE WEB PORTAL. A KIOSK THAT PEOPLE CAN TYPE IN THEIR NAMES. TYPE IN THE ITEM THEY ARE WORKING ON AND SO FORTH. AN INTERNAL DEVELOPMENT TYPE OF THING. REAL EASY TO DO. IT CAN BE DONE QUICKLY AND NEED COUNCIL'S LOOK, TAKE A PEEK AND IF THEY LIKE IT, WE CAN DEPLOY IT. >>LYNN HURTAK: I LIKE TO MOVE BEFORE WE MOVE HIM IS TO TRY THIS AT THE JUNE 27th WORKSHOP. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I WILL WAIT UNTIL WE EVEN TALK TO THIS ITEM WITH MR. SHELBY AND IF YOU WANT TO HOLD THAT MOTION UNTIL LATER ON. >>LYNN HURTAK: OKAY. BUT EITHER WAY. I AM THRILLED TO KNOW THAT -- THAT WHEN THERE IS -- WHEN THERE IS THE PROBLEM THAT YOUR TEAM IS FOLLOWING FIND A SOLUTION AND I THINK THAT IS PHENOMENAL. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN CARLSON AND COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN. >>BILL CARLSON: I FULLY SUPPORT MR. HAYDEN HE AND HIS PREDECESSOR AND HIS STAFF HAVE ALWAYS BEEN RERESPONSIVE AND EXCELLENT. I KNOW Y'ALL ARE DOING A LOT OF HARD WORK TO MIGRATE. WE WENT FROM ONE VERSION AND TRYING TO DO THAT WITH OTHER SYSTEMS AS WELL. I DIDN'T HAVE IS A CHANCE TO MEET WITH YOU BECAUSE I WAS OVERSEAS BUT I HAVE WANT TO CATCH UP WITH YOU SOON. AT THE CONFERENCE ONE OF THE BIG THINGS THAT EVERYBODY WAS TALKING ABOUT AND HAS BEEN FOR YEARS THE CYBERSECURITY AND SO MANY GOVERNMENTS HAVE BEEN SHUT DOWN BY RANSOMWARE AND OTHER PROBLEMS. KNOCK ON WOOD IN FIVE YEARS THAT HAVEN'T HAPPENED AND I PRAY THAT YOU KEEP US SAFE. SO MANY STATE-SPONSORED THREATS AND OTHERS OUT THERE THAT ARE REALLY SCARY. I APPRECIATE YOU ALL STAYING ON TOP OF THAT. PROTECTING OUR CITY'S ASSETS AND THE PEOPLE OF OUR CITY IS NUMBER ONE.

WE APPRECIATE YOU BECAUSE WHAT YOU DO IS NOT EASY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. SHELBY. >>MARTIN SHELBY: I HAVEN'T EVER DONE THIS. I WANT TO SHARE FROM MY PERSPECTIVE THAT I CAME TO KNOW ERIC HAYDEN DURING THE PANDEMIC. ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT CHALLENGES THAT THIS CITY FACED WAS THE CONTINUATION OF OPERATION OF GOVERNMENT AND THIS MAN. I SAW HIM IN ACTION AND I SAW WHAT HE AND HIS TEAM WAS ABLE TO DO. AND THE RESIDENTS OF TAMPA OWE A GREAT DEAL OF GRATITUDE TO THE PEOPLE WHO WERE ABLE TO GET GOVERNMENT UP AND RUNNING IN A TOTAL SHUTDOWN AND TO SEE WHAT WE WERE ABLE TO DO ON BEHALF OF THE PEOPLE OF THE CITY TO FULFILL OUR ROLE AS GOVERNMENT DURING THIS CRISIS. THANK YOU, SIR. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> EVERYONE MORE COMMENT AFTER ALL THE ACCOLADES FOR ERIC. AFTER HE WAS GOING THROUGH THE SELECTION PROCESS, THE FIRST THING HE TOLD ME I DON'T GET IT, I WILL BE YOUR GUY AND I WILL TAKE CARE OF THE OTHER PERSON COMING IN. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: LIKE I SAID, VERY LUCKY TO HAVE YOU. WE APPRECIATE YOUR COMMITMENT AND EVERYTHING THAT YOU DO. AS MR. SHELBY MENTIONED, TO PIGGYBACK ON THAT. WITH COVID, MOVING TO THE CONVENTION CENTER, LEGISLATIVE AIDE LISA AND COORDINATING. I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU DID IT. I AM GOOD WITH COMPUTERS AND TECHNOLOGY, BUT YOU AND YOUR TEAM TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL. WHAT DO THEY SAY, PIVOT. EVERY DAY WAS DIFFERENT. YOU HANDLED IT AND YOUR TEAM HANDLED IT. THANK YOU. >>GWEN HENDERSON: I HAVE ONE THING TO SAY. DID YOU SAY THAT YOUR PARTNER IN LIFE DID YOUR HOMEWORK OR HELPED YOU WITH IT? YOU SAY SHE HELPED YOU WITH YOUR HOMEWORK. >> SHE IS A GREAT PROOFREADER. WOMEN POWER FOR SURE. HELPING WITH PROOFREADING AND EVERYTHING. I WOULDN'T BE COMPLETE WITHOUT HER. >>GWEN HENDERSON: I APPRECIATE YOU SAYING THAT. CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: CONGRATULATIONS, SIR. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. WE WILL BREAK FOR LUNCH AT 12:00 AND COME BACK AT 1:30. GET ON WITH THE AGENDA. ITEM NUMBER 6. SEE YOU LATER. >> GOOD MORNING MR. CHAIR. THIS IS McLEAN EVANS, ASSISTANT CITY KOREAN.. ITEM NUMBER 6 FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE TO PROVIDE ONE DAY A WEEK WATERING RESTRICTIONS AND PROTECTION FOR THOSE WHO APIED TO THAT FROM ANY SORT OF PENALTY. I AM AVAILABLE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. >>LYNN HURTAK: THING IS ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL. WE NEED ONE-DAY-A-WEEK WATERING BECAUSE OF THE DROUGHT WE GET EVERY SINGLE MAY. BUT I HAVE A QUESTION OF ENFORCEMENT. WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? >> SO WE DO HAVE A TEAM OF FIVE INDIVIDUALS THAT DO GO OUT AND RECENTLY, OUR NUMBERS HAVE RAMPED UP WITH CITATIONS. LAST -- WELL, SINCE THE RESTRICTIONS WENT INTO PLACE, WE GOT A TOTAL OF 31 CITATIONS. TOT TOTALING $34,000 AND WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF COLLECTING THAT BUT $17,000 IS ACTUALLY WHAT WE SELECTED. >>LYNN HURTAK: WOW. THANK YOU. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMEMBER HENDERSON CARLSON AND CLENDENIN. >>GWEN HENDERSON: I WAS CURIOUS OF THE REPORTING OF VIOLATIONS. ARE COMMUNITY CITIZENS ALLOWED TO DO THAT. MAKE A PHONE CALL TO REPORT VIOLATIONS AND DO YOU ADDRESS IT FROM THAT CAPACITY? >> YES. AND WE DO TAKE THOSE BY WEB, E-MAIL AS WELL. THERE ARE SOME LINKS ONLINE TO REPORT THAT. >>GWEN HENDERSON: OKAY, THAT YOU RECALL. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCILMAN CARLSON. >>BILL CARLSON: I WANT TO SAY FOR THE PUBLIC WATCHING AND MAY NOT KNOW WHY AND WHAT WE ARE DOING. DESPITE CUT-BACKS, TEMPORARY CUTBACKS, THE WATER USAGE IS HIGH. AND THE ALTERNATIVES TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL WATER IS INCREDIBLY EXPENSIVE. UNLESS THE PUBLIC WANTS US TO DOUBLE -- POSSIBLY DOUBLE, TRIPLE, QUADRUPLE THEIR RATES, IT IS BETTER TO PROMOTE CONSERVATION. THAT IS MY READ INTO IT. AND MY VIEW. NOT THAT WE ARE ARBITRARY DOING IT TO ARE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL REASONS, THERE IS AN ECONOMIC REASON AS WELL. AS I READ THAT, INCLUDES PROHIBITION OF RECLAIMED WATER. DID I READ THAT CORRECTLY? >> DOES NOT RESTRICT THE RECLAIMED WATER USE. >>BILL CARLSON: FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE RECLAIMED WATER AND WANT TO SIGN UP FOR IT, WHAT IS THE ALLOWANCE FOR THAT? >> IT IS $665 SIGN-UP. AND ONCE AGAIN, WE HAVE LINKS ONLINE. AND WE -- >>BILL CARLSON: WATER IT HOW MANY TIMES A WEEK? >> IT IS NOT LIMITED. WE ASK THEM TO USE THEIR JUDGMENT ON THAT BUT IT IS NOT REST RESTRICTED. >>BILL CARLSON: BECAUSE OF THE PILOT DONE 20 YEARS AGO, AVAILABLE IN SOUTH TAMPA, AND WE ARE LOOKING AT OTHER ALTERNATIVES WHO WANT IT. PEOPLE IN SOUTH TAMPA WHO ARE NOT SIGNED UP. IF YOU WANT A WATER SOURCE THAT DOES NOT HURT A POTABLE SUPPLY, TALK TO THE WATER DEPARTMENT OF SIGNING UP FOR THAT I HAD MY IRRIGATION PERSON LOOK AT THIS, AND HE SAID CERTAIN CONDITIONS THAT YOU CAN WATER MORE THAN ONCE A WEEK. CAN YOU DESCRIBE THOSE. I WENT INTO THE EXPENSE OF PUTTING IN A DRIP SYSTEM. AND HE SAID DRIP IS NOT INCLUDED. SO IF SOMEBODY HAS A DRIP SYSTEM AND OR THEY HAVE SOME KIND OF WATER SAVING DEVICES, WHAT ARE THE RESTRICTION ON THOSE? >> THERE ARE NO RESTRICTION ON THE MICRO IRRIGATION. AND IF YOU ARE ESTABLISHING A NEW LAWN, WE -- THERE IS AN ALLOWANCE FOR THAT ADDITIONAL WATERING. I DON'T HAVE THE EXACT NUMBERS. I BELIEVE IT IS 60 DAYS -- >> GOOD MORNING, McLEAN EVANS, ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY. WE FOLLOW UNDER S.W.F.W.M.D.'S GUIDANCE WITH THE NEW LAWN LANDSCAPING RULES. A 60-DAY ALLOWANCE. 30 DAYS ARE UP TO EVERY DAY BUT ONLY UP TO YOUR WATERING HOURS. AND THE NEXT 30 DAYS ARE THREE DAY AS WEEK DEPENDING IF YOU ARE AN ODD OR EVEN ADDRESS AGAIN DURING NORMAL WATERING HOURS. >>BILL CARLSON: COUNCILMAN MIRANDA HAVE BEEN PREACH BEING THIS FOR YEARS AND HE HAS THE BEST SYSTEM OF ANY OF US. BUT IT IS EXPENSIVE TO PUT THE DRIP SYSTEM IN, BUT IF YOU HAVE THE OLD ONE THAT SPRAYS, YOU ARE WASTE A LOT OF WATER. AND YOU CAN -- YOU CAN CUT YOUR WATER USAGE BY 90% IN SOME CASES. AND YOU ARE NOT NECESSARILY TIED INTO THE RESTRICTION. SO ANYTHING -- ANYTHING THAT PEOPLE CAN DO, LOOK AT THAT. PLUS REBATES THROUGH THE -- THROUGH THE CITY AND TAMPA BAY WATER FOR PUTTING ELECTRONIC METERS AND OTHER KINDS OF USAGE SYSTEMS ON THERE. SO IF ANYBODY IS LOOKING AT IT, PLEASE LOOK AT THESE ALTERNATIVES BECAUSE YOU CAN STILL WORK TO EFFECTIVELY HELP PLANTS IN YOUR YARD OR GARDENS IF YOU FOLLOW THE RULES. THANK YOU. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: CLENDENIN AND THEN COUNCILMAN MIRANDA. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I HAVE A QUESTION. WE ARE ENTERING RAINY SEASON. WHY DON'T WE DO THIS EARLIER AND HAVE THE RESTRICTION DURING THE DROUGHT PERIOD. WHY DO WE WAIT UNTIL WE START RAINY SEASON TO START THIS. >> IT'S -- WE WERE LOOKING AT WHEN THE DISTRICTS WAS -- RESTRICTION WAS GOING TO EXPIRE. AND WE ARE LOOKING AT OUR DEMAND. WE ARE LOOKING AT OUR -- HERE IS A QUICK SNAPSHOT. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU SEE IT. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WHAT I WAS GETTING TO. >> A SNAPSHOT OF OUR RESERVOIR. YOU SEE THE GREEN LINE. THIS IS OUR HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY DROPPING. HILLSBOROUGH RIVER DROPPING. WE ARE SEEING THE NEED TO CONTINUE THIS. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: KIND OF WHAT I WAS GETTING AT TO SHOW THE SIGNIFICANCE IN THE DROP -- THE RISE IN DEMAND AND THE SIGNIFICANT DROP IN THE RESE RESERVOIR. >> DEMAND HAS CONTINUED ON RISE IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE EXPIRATION. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN MIRANDA. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START I HAVE SO MANY THINGS IN MY MIND. THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO. THIS IS SOMETHING NOT NEW. WE ARE ONE OF THE FIRST TO RESTRICT THE WATER USAGE MORE THAN ONCE A WEEK, TWICE A WEEK AND CUT IT DOWN TO ONCE A WEEK. HOWEVER, WHEN YOU START LOOKING AT THE TOTAL PICTURE, I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG WE HAD 82 MILLION GALLONS A DAY ON THE DAILY BASIS 40 TO 50 YEARS DOUBLED. AND WHAT I SAW YESTERDAY OF THE PROJECTIONS OF THE MEDIA BY 2050, THIS CITY WILL GROW ANOTHER 100,000. IF WE ARE AT 82 MILLION GALLON AS DAY AND YOU CAN'T VIOLATE IT AND OTHERS CAN ASK FOR IT AND GET IT. THAT IS THE WAY I SEE IT. WE GETTER NEVER SELL ONE OUNCE OF RECLAIMED WATER TO NO ONE SIGH THAT AND I KNOW WHERE I'M COMING FROM AND I APPRECIATE EVERYBODY'S SYSTEM. I HAVE THE BEST SYSTEM, NO GRASS. 24 YEARS AGO I TOOK AWAY ALL THE GRASS, FRONT AND BACK. ALL I HAVE ARE ROCKS. IT IS EASIER TO MAINTAIN. NO LAWNMOWER. NO NOISE AND SOMEBODY WILL SAY I AM WAKING UP SOMEBODY'S KID. NO EMISSION FROM THE LAWNMOWER SAYING I AM VIOLATING THE LAW. AND -- AND I AM TALKING ABOUT MYSELF. NO, I AM TALKING ABOUT WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO IF YOU REALLY WANT TO DO IT. SO SOONER OR LATER, THIS WILL GET WORSE, NOT BETTER. WE ARE KILLING OURSELVES THROUGH THE ENVIRONMENT THAT WE DON'T CAKE CARE OF. THAT IS WHAT IS WRONG WITH -- EXCUSE ME -- TO THE WHOLE WORLD. NOT JUST US. LOOK AT CALIFORNIA. LOOK AT PHOENIX. YOU CAN'T GET A PERMIT. ZEPHYRHILLS, I THINK -- THE WHOLE WORLD IS THE SAME WAY. SO I AM WARNING NOW, I WILL VOTE NO TO SELL RECLAIMED WATER TO ANYONE UNLESS WE HAVE MORE THAN 82 MILLION GALLON AS DAY. WE CAN DO THAT IF THEY LET US PUT MORE WATER IN THE AQUIFER ON THE ASR SYSTEM OR DO MORE WELLS THAT WE CAN MAINTAIN SOMETHING. AND EVEN THEN -- EVEN IF WE FILL ALL THE WELLS UP AND THERE IS A VIOLATION OF REDUCTION IN RAINFALL, GUESS WHAT, YOU ONLY HAVE WATER FOR 20 DAYS IF YOU USE OLD WELLS. SO -- YOU ARE CATCH-22 AND FOOLING OURSELVES IF WE THINK WE ARE GOING TO BE NICE AND HAVE ENOUGH WATER. YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BE NICE IF YOU WANT TO HAVE ENOUGH WATER. YOU GOT TO GO OUT AND FIGHT FOR IT. BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT IS COMING. WE SIGN SOMETHING AND IT IS GREAT. IT IS THERE. NEVER ENDS. GOT TWO ENDINGS. HOW CAN A CONTRACT HAVE TWO ENDINGS. IN 2038 UNLESS OFF DEBT SERVICE. IF YOU HAVE A DEBT SERVICE, IT NEVER ENDS. YOU BUY BIND SOMETHING, IT NEVER ENDS. THIS CITY, NOT TODAY, NOT TOMORROW, BUT THE NEXT 20 YEARS, SOMETHING HAS GOT TO HAPPEN, BECAUSE YOU NEVER HAVE ENOUGH WATER WITH THE 82 MILLION GALLONS A DAY AVERAGE. IT CAN'T HAPPEN WITH ANOTHER 100,000 PEOPLE COMING. IT JUST CAN'T HAPPEN. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR. >> DO YOU BELIEVE WATER IS THE FUTURE. FUTURE GOAL? >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: WITHOUT WATER, THERE IS NOTHING LEFT. >> WE WILL CONTINUE TO CONSERVE IT. IT IS A GOOD SPEND OF OUR MONEY. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ANYTHING ELSE IN THE PRESENTATION? >> NO, I MEAN, I HAD SOME STUFF JUST TO ANSWER SOME QUESTIONS, BUT IT -- YOU KNOW, WE ARE GOOD. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: NO FURTHER QUESTIONS.

MISS REBECCA JOHNS. >>REBECCA JOHNS: HI, GOOD MORNING, REBECCA JOHNS, LEGAL DEPARTMENT. SECOND READING IN THE ORDINANCE IMPOSING MONITORING FEES FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS. JUST TO REMIND YOU, THIS ONLY PERTAINS TO DEVELOPMENTS THAT ARE BUILDING BUILT PURSUANT TO LIVE LOCAL, BONUS AGREEMENTS AND HOUSE BILL 1339. AND ALSO INCLUDES AN EXCEPTION FOR THOSE DEVELOPMENTS THAT ALREADY HAVE THIRD PARTY MONITORING FOR OTHER REASONS. I'M HERE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. MANISCALCO THAT WAS MY QUESTION IF THIS THERE WERE EXCEPTIONS. >>REBECCA JOHNS: THEY HAVE TO WORK IN AN AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY TO HAVE THOSE MONITORING REPORTS PROVIDED TO THE CITY. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM COUNCILSNEBS ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC THAT WISHES TO SPEAK? YES, SIR. PLEASE COME UP AND STATE YOUR NAME. GOOD MORNING. >> GOOD MORNING. ERIC ARDUNO. WITH THE BAY AREA APARTMENT ASSOCIATION. THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TODAY. OUR ASSOCIATION REPRESENTS THE APARTMENT INDUSTRY IN THE GREATER TAMPA BAY REGION. WE PROVIDE AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN THE CITY OF TAMPA. I AM COMING BEFORE YOU TODAY TO ASK YOU TO NOT PASS THIS ORDINANCE. IN SHORT AS STATED A MOMENT AGO, THE ORDINANCE STATES A NEED FOR CITY BUREAUCRACY FOR AFFORDABLE UNITS UNDER THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING ACT AND HOUSING DENSITY BONUSES ON IN ITS FACE REASONABLE. MAKES SENSE. THAT SAID, ALREADY IN OUR INDUSTRY A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT MEANS BY WHICH THOSE AFFORDABLE HOUSING REQUIREMENTS ARE DONE. MANY OF OUR MEMBERS TODAY ARE UNDER A REQUIREMENT WHETHER STATE LAW, FEDERAL LAW, LENDER REQUIREMENTS TO PROVIDE THIRD PARTY VERIFICATION REPORTS, AS WELL AS MENTIONED A MOMENT AGO, A PROVISION WITHIN THE ORDINANCE TO ALLOW FOR THOSE THIRD PARTY REPORTS; HOWEVER, I WOULD SAY THAT, FROM OUR STANDPOINT, IT SEEMS TO BE MUCH MORE OF A GATEKEEPER AND DIFFICULT -- POTENTIALLY DIFFICULT TO GET THOSE REPORTS IN FRONT OF THE -- OF THE CITY, BECAUSE THERE SEEMS TO BE A CUMBERSOME PROCESS TO VERIFY THAT. MORE IMPORTANTLY, I THINK, YOU KNOW, OUR MEMBERS -- YOU KNOW, WE REALLY DO UNDERSTAND THE NEED FOR COMPLIANCE REPORT. THEY COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OUT THERE OPINION WHAT WE DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IS THERE A NEED TO BRING THAT REQUIREMENT INTO THE CITY WHEN THERE WERE THIRD PARTIES IS THE NORM AND OUR MEMBERS REGULARLY RELY UPON. BUILDING A CAPACITY IN THE CITY FOR CITY STAFF TO DO THE SAME WORK THAT HAS BEEN DONE IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR DOES NOT MAKE SENSE TO US. ADDITIONALLY IT ALSO APPLIES A FEE -- THE COMPLIANCE FEE ON AFFORDABLE HOUSING THROUGH ORDINANCE. WE HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS. I CANVAS MY MEMBERS NOT JUST IN THE AREA BUT ACROSS THE STATE. NO MUNICIPALITY HAS PASSIVE ORDINANCE THAT WE KNOW OF THAT IMPOSE AS COMPLIANCE FEE ON AFFORDABLE HOUSING. OUR GOAL IS TO PRODUCE AS MUCH AFFORDABLE HOUSING NOT TO MAKE IT AS DIFFICULT AS IT HAS TO BE. WE ASK THAT YOU NOT MOVE THIS ORDINANCE FORWARD AS IT ADDS COST TO THE WORK WE ALREADY DO AND A MUCH BETTER APPROACH WILL SIMPLY BE FOR THE CITY TO HAVE A PROCESS TO ACCEPT A THIRD PARTY. COMPLAINS REPORTS ALREADY DONE ARE READILY AVAILABLE. THAT ACCOMPLISHES THE GOAL, KEEPS IN MIND WITH WHAT WE ARE ALREADY DOING, AND AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT IS A MUCH MORE SIMPLER, STREAMLINE AND EFFECTIVE APPROACH THAT EVERYONE CAN AGREE ON. THANK YOU. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC THAT WISHES TO SPEAK? I SEE NO ONE. ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL. MISS JOHNS, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO ADD? LET ME ASK YOU A QUESTION. WITH REGARDS TO THIS -- >>REBECCA JOHNS: I SHOULD HAVE SAID NO. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I AM USUALLY QUIET. WHAT WAS THE COST? SAYING THIS IS AN EXTRA BURDEN FOR THOSE TRYING TO PROVIDE AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND WHATNOT. WHAT KIND OF COSTS ARE WE TALKING ABOUT. >>REBECCA JOHNS: ONCE THE ORDINANCE, IF IT GETS PASS $, BRING BACK THE ORDINANCE THAT SETS THE FREE. THE COST THAT WE ARE PROPOSING THAT WE TALKED ABOUT AT THE FIRST READING IS $1,000 INITIAL FEE AND ANNUAL MONITORING $500 FOR BUILDINGS, FOUR UNITS AND LESS. AND FIVE UNITS OF LESS. AND FOR EACH UNIT ABOVE THE FIVE, $50. SOME THAT WILL BE AN ANNUAL FEE. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: IF YOU HAVE A FIVE-UNIT COMPLEX. $100 PER UNIT AND EVERYTHING ABOVE IS $50. >>REBECCA JOHNS: IF YOU HAVE A FIVE-UNIT COMPLEX, YOU HAVE A $1,000 INITIAL FEE AND ANNUALLY YOU WILL HAVE THE $500 FEE. IF YOU HAD SIX UNITS, AN ANNUAL $550 FEE. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THE $1,000 FEE RECURRING OR INITIAL -- >>REBECCA JOHNS: THE INITIAL. FOR THE CITY TO CERTIFY. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: AFTER THAT ANNUALLY 500 AND $50 FOR ANYTHING OVER? >>REBECCA JOHNS: CORRECT. AGAIN, THAT IS NOT IN THIS ORDINANCE BUT WILL BE SET SEPARATELY BY RESOLUTION. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: CAN THAT BE MODIFIED AND REGULATED BY COUNCIL. IF WE WANT TO SAY NOT $500 OR $300 OR $1,000 OR $50. WE CAN CHANGE IT FROM THERE. >>REBECCA JOHNS: WE ARE DOING IT BY RESOLUTION BECAUSE IT IS EASIER FOR YOU TO CHANGE THE FEE IT IS THAT IS WHAT YOU WANT TO DO. OPINION. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: WHO NEXT. CLENDENIN, HURTAK, CARLSON. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: MY UNDERSTANDING THAT GUYS ARE SET IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA OF ACTUAL COSTS INCURRED BY THE GOVERNMENT, HOW WRAE SET FEES. WE SET THIS FEE AND MAKE SURE THAT IT IS REIMBURSING US FOR THE COST OF PROVIDING A SERVICE. >> KAYON HENDERSON HAS DONE THIS ANALYSIS AND THESE FEES ARE IN ACCORDANCE OF WHAT THEY GET PAID BY H.U.D. AND BUILT INTO THE OTHER CONTRACTS. THIS IS IN CONTRAST TO THE ACTUAL COST OF IT. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: OUR DISCUSSION WITH FEES THAT WE NEED TO MAKE SURE MERE UP TO DATE AND REIMBURSE THE ACTUAL COST OF WHATEVER THIS IS SO THE OTHER TAXPAYERS ARE NOT PAYING THAT. AND SUBSIDIZING THE AREA BUSINESS IS ACTUALLY PAYING FOR IT. >>REBECCA JOHNS: CORRECT. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK, CARLSON. >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU. IF SOMEBODY ALREADY HAS THIRD-PARTY VERIFICATION, WHAT WILL BE THE FEES FOR T. >>REBECCA JOHNS: THAT BE EXCEPTION IS BUILT INTO -- THE LITTLE SECTION 4 ON THE LAST PAGE OF THE ACTUAL TEXT OF THE ORDINANCE THOUGH THEY WILL MAKE SURE THAT THE THIRD-PARTY MONITORING COMPANY IS APPROVED BY THE CITY. THAT THE SCOPE OF MONITORING HAS BEEN APPROVED BY THE CITY. THAT THE THIRD PARTY MONITORING COMPANY FIREARMS THE MONITORING SERVICES AS REQUIRED BY THE CITY. AND THE OWNER OF THE PROJECT PAYS ALL MONITORING FEES FOR THE THIRD-PARTY MONITORING. >>LYNN HURTAK: THAT WILL HAVE TO BE DONE ONCE OR ANNUALLY? >>REBECCA JOHNS: IT WILL BE IN AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY. SO IF THEY ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT ONCE. AND THEY CONTINUE TO USE THAT SAME COMPANY AND NOTHING CHANGES AS FAR AS THE SERVICES THAT ARE BEING MONITORED, THEN THEY DON'T HAVE TO ENTER INTO THAT AGREEMENT ONE TTIME. >>LYNN HURTAK: WHAT THIS IS BASICALLY TRYING TO DO IS INCENTIVIZING PEOPLE WHO USE -- WHO ARE PROVIDING AFFORDABLE HOUSING TO USE THE THIRD PARTY MONITORING SYSTEM. >>REBECCA JOHNS: YEAH, I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS AN INCENTIVE IF THEY ARE ALREADY DOING THAT AND THAT IS WHAT THEIR PLAN IS, THEY WILL CONTINUE TO DO THAT. >>LYNN HURTAK: OKAY, THANK YOU. >>REBECCA JOHNS: TRYING TO RECOVER THE COST FOR HOSE WHO DON'T DO THE THIRD-PARTY MONITORING THAT THE CITY HAS TO DO. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN CARLSON AND MIRANDA. >>BILL CARLSON: YOU KIND OF ANSWERED THE QUSTION I WAS GOING TO ASK. IF YOU SAY IT AGAIN FOR THE CAUTION OF CHARGING AN EXTRA FEE FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND TALK ABOUT WHY THIS IS NECESSARY AND THE BENEFIT FOR THE PUBLIC STAYING IN AFFORDABLE HOUSING. >>REBECCA JOHNS: SURE. YOU ARE MONITORING AFFORDABLE HOUSING. THE CITY HAS TO ENSURE THAT THE TENANTS LIVING IN THE UNITS ARE INCOME CERTIFIED. THE CITY HAS TO LOOK AT THE INCOME BASED ON DOCUMENTS BY THE DEVELOPER. CITY HAS TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE STATUTE, THE BONUS AGREEMENT, THE LAND USE RESTRICTION AGREEMENTS, WHATEVER DOCUMENTS ARE INVOLVED. WE HAVE A LOT OF THESE COMING ONLINE WHICH IS A GREAT THING, BUT THE CITY HAS TO BE SURE THAT THEY HAVE THE STAFF TO DO THAT. SO THIS WILL COVER THE COST OF THE STAFF TO DO ALL OF THAT MONITORING. AND SO THE BENEFIT OF THE CITY IS, THIS IS NOT ANOTHER EXAMPLE WHERE THE COSTS ARE NOT COVERING THE ACTUAL SERVICES THAT THE CITY IS PROVIDING. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN MIRANDA. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I AM JUST THINKING OUT LOUD. IN THE BEGINNING THAT IS GOING TO BE BUILT, LET'S SAY 100-UNIT PROJECT. AND THE CITY WANTS 15% OR 20%, 20 UNITS OF THAT SO NOW WHAT THE DEVELOPER IS DOING, MAYBE RIGHTLY SO, THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT I COULD COLLECT AND WHAT YOU COLLECT TO PAY THE DIFFERENCE FOR 30 YEARS. SOMETHING LIKE THAT. AND WE HAD TO PAY SOME DEVELOPMENT INTO THAT DEVELOPMENT TO HAVE BUILT THE WHOLE PROCESS. COULD THERE BE A WAY THAT THE CITY SAYS, OKAY, INSTEAD OF 100. WE WILL GIVE YOU 120. AND THAT 20 THAT WE ARE GIVING YOU SUBSIDIZES THE OTHER 20 AND THOSE 20s ARE PART EVEN SO THE CITY DOESN'T HAVE TO MAKE THE INVESTMENT INTO THE REAL ESTATE AND THE PROJECT AND USE MONEY FOR OTHER THINGS THEY REALLY NEED. >>REBECCA JOHNS: I AM NOT REALLY -- >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I AM NOT GOOD WITH NUMBERS AND I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT. >>REBECCA JOHNS: I AM NOT -- YOU I DIDN'T FOLLOW THAT. IF YOU COULD RESTATE IT AS FAR AS. >> I AM NOT SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS BUT TALKING OF THE INDIVIDUAL STUFF. COULD THE CITY POSSIBLY DO THAT? >>REBECCA JOHNS: THAT IS PROBABLY ANOTHER CONVERSATION. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I AM JUST BRINGING IT UP BECAUSE YOU ARE TALK OF CHECKING THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS. ALL OF THEM. >>REBECCA JOHNS: I DON'T KNOW HOW TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I UNDERSTAND. I GOT IT. >>REBECCA JOHNS: BASED ON THIS, THE NUMBER OF UNITS THAT ARE BUILT PURSUANT TO THE LIVE LOCAL AND HOUSE BILL 13-39 AND BONUS AGREEMENTS, THAT IS BASED ON FOR CERTAIN THINGS LIKE FOR THE LIVE LOCAL IN HOUSE BILL 1339, THE PERCENTAGE THAT THE DEVELOPER DETERMINES ARE GOING TO BE AFFORDABLE. THE BONUS PROVISION BASE AND WHAT IS CALCULATABLE PURSUANT TO THE BONUS PROVISION CODE. I AM NOT SURE I AM ANSWERING YOUR QUESTION. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I UNDERSTAND, THANK YOU. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN CLENDENIN. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: FOR THE FOLKS THAT REPRESENT THE DEPARTMENTS. AND I HAD A VERY GOOD CONVERSATION ABOUT THIS. WHEN YOU HEARD THAT THE CITY'S ORDINANCE PROVIDES FOR THIRD PARTY VERIFICATION. I KNOW THAT WAS ONE OF YOUR CONCERNS. DOES THAT MITIGATE YOUR CONCERN? >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COME ON UP, SIR. STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD. >> REMEMBER RICK, APARTMENT ASSOCIATION. UNFORTUNATELY IT DOESN'T GO THE AS FAR AS IT NEEDS TO GO. THE WAY THE ORDINANCE, MAINTENANCE FEE ALSO NOT BE BE PAID TO THE CITY IF THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECT IN THE CITY HAVE AGREED IN WRITING FOR THIRD-PARTY MONITORING COMPANY PROVIDED THAT, ONE, THE THIRD-PARTY MONITORING COMPANY IS APPROVED BY THE CITY.
