IN OLD CITY HALL CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS THIRD THERE ARE, TAMPA, FLORIDA, 33602. >>MARTIN SHELBY: THANK YOU. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA. >>LUIS VIERA: I HAVE A QUESTION FOR 96 AND 97. MAY WE HEAR 97 BEFORE 96 BECAUSE 97 IS A SMALL PART OF THE BIG THING AND I HATE TO GET THE THE TWO CONFLATED. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I DON'T KNOW IF WE NEED A MOTION FOR THAT. >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: DO 97 FIRST. BRANDON, I KNOW I TEASED YOU WITH TWO TIMES, THREE TIMES IS THE CHARM. LET'S MOVE ON YOUR ITEM, PLEASE. ITEM NUMBER 94. >> THANK YOU, COUNCIL. GOOD AFTERNOON, DENNIS ROGERO, CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER. YOU SEE DIRECTOR CAMPBELL WITH US. THIS WANTS REVENUE TO BE RECOGNIZE $FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION GRANT. AND THAT EXISTING BUDGETS BE REALIGNED ON TWO PROJECTS FOR UNITE ASHLEY DRIVE. I AM PRETTY SURE COUNCILS, BUT I WANT TO RE-EMPHASIZE TODAY'S ACTION AND TODAY'S REQUEST IS ONLY PORTION FUNDING REQUIRED FOR THIS PROJECT. FOR THE BACKGROUND INFORMATION THAT AT THIS TIME WE ANTICIPATE ABOUT $22 MILLION TOTAL. WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR ACTION ON ALL $22 MILLION. AND WE ARE PREPARED TO DISCUSS A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT FUNDING SCENARIOS BASED ON QUESTIONS WE RECEIVED. AND WE CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU WOULD LIKE. DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING, DIRECTOR? >> BRANDON CAMPBELL: NO, I WILL JUST BE AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS. >>LYNN HURTAK: YOU HEARD THE DISCUSSIONS WE HAD OF USING CRA FUNDING. WHERE DO WE STANDS IN THAT? I TRIED TO GET A LITTLE BIT OF UNDERSTANDING OVER LUNCH, BUT I AM STILL A LITTLE LOST. >>DENNIS ROGERO: YES, MA'AM. AND IF I CAN HAVE THE ELMO UP PLEASE. I AM A VISUAL GUY. >>LYNN HURTAK: THE WOLF IS SLOWLY -- >>DENNIS ROGERO: THAT'S RIGHT. IT IS A DIFFERENT NAME NOW. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WE SEE IT. >>DENNIS ROGERO: I SAID ELMO AND THEY ARE LIKE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. THIS IS THE CURRENT SCENARIO IN THE ACTION WE HAVE BEFORE YOU TODAY. YOU SEE THE FEDERAL GRANT A LITTLE OVER $5 MILLION. REQUESTED REALIGNMENT OF EXISTING PROJECTS. AND I WILL POINT OUT AS YOU SAID BEFORE, THIS IS CIT BOND MONEY FROM ABOUT A DECADE AGO THAT IS GET GETTING STALE AND WILL SUNSET IN A COUPLE OF YEARS AND CASS STREET PROJECTS, OTHER FUNDING -- PLANS TO USE OTHER FUNDING FOR THOSE PROJECTS. THE CRA, COUNCIL AS THE CRA BOARD RECENTLY APPROVED $8 MILLION SUPPLEMENT. WE DO NOT HAVE A FINANCIAL RESOLUTION HERE FOR YOU TODAY BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND SOME OF THE INNER WORKERINGS OF THE CRA IS ALIGNMENT. HERE RIGHT NOW IN PLAY FROM A FUTURE PERSPECTIVE IS JUST UNDER $4 MILLION OF FUNDING BUT WE WILL HAVE TO FIND SOME PLACE. NOW TO PROVIDE CONTEXT FOR THIS, YOU SEE, AGAIN, THE $22 MILLION TOTAL. BUT THE TIMING OF THIS PROJECT IS SUCH THAT IT IS GOING TO TAKE YEARS -- WILL TAKE YEARS BEFORE WE NEED ALL OF THIS FUNDING. SO WE HAVE SOME FLEXIBILITY. DOES THIS ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, MA'AM, IN TERMS OF WHAT WE HAVE GOT NOW? >>LYNN HURTAK: THAT'S WHERE WE -- EXCUSE ME -- THAT IS WHAT WE KNEW ABOUT BEFORE. I WAS TALKING OF ABILITY TO FIND THAT EXTRA $3.95, AND POSSIBLY EVEN MORE WITHIN THE DOWNTOWN CRA BUDGET, BECAUSE WE HEARD FROM THE PUBLIC AND OURSELVES HAVE LOOKED AT IT THE TO SEE IS IT THE POSSIBILITY TO USE FUTURE FUNDS FROM THE DOWNTOWN CRA TO PAY FOR THE EXTRA $17 MILLION. >>DENNIS ROGERO: I HAVE A SCENARIO FOR THAT ALSO. LET US SEE WHAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW. THIS IS ONE, YOU KNOW, OF MANY POTENTIAL DISCUSSIONS. AND YOU SEE THE CHANGES IN YELLOW IN THE HIGHLIGHTED INFORMATION THERE AT THE TOP. INCREASING CRA PORTION BY $5 MILLION TO A TOTAL OF $13 MILLION, WHICH WILL REDUCE THE NECESSITY FOR THAT FUTURE FUNDING FROM SOME PLACE. AND ALSO WOULD REDUCE THE NECESSITY FOR ALL OF THAT C.I.T. FUNDING. IF I CAN FRAME IT A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN THAT. AGAIN FROM A TIMING PERSPECTIVE, AND I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK FOR CRA ADMINISTRATION, BUT THEY HAVE A SIGNIFICANT BALANCE RIGHT NOW. OF COURSE YOU AS THE CRA BOARD KNOW THAT AS YOU PLAN FOR THE FUTURE, THAT BALANCE IS OBLIGATED IS THE WORD THEY USE. NOT BUDGETED SO TO SPEAK, BUT OBLIGATED FOR PROJECT A, B, C. WHAT WE THINK BEGINNING IN 2027, AND, AGAIN, WE ARE HAPPY TO DISCUSS WITH CRA ADMINISTRATION, BUT WHICH THINK IT IS BEGINNING IN 2027, THEY WILL HAVE AMPLE CAPACITY FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDING WHICH TIES RIGHT IN WITH THE ANTICIPATED TIME FRAME OF WHEN THAT FUNDING WILL BE NEEDED. >>LYNN HURTAK: EXCELLENT. THAT IS PRETTY MUCH WHAT I AM INTERESTED IN. I KNOW THAT MR. CAMPBELL AND I SPOKE YESTERDAY OF THE FACT WE NEED TO PUT SOME MONEY FORWARD TO GET STARTED, BUT -- SO I THINK MY QUESTION WOULD BE, IF -- IF WE NEED TO MOVE JUST T THE BROREIN STREET PORTION OF THE 2016 CIT BONDS. IF WE APPROVED THAT TODAY THAT THERE IS MONEY IN THE BUCKET TO DO -- TO START THE PROCESS. COULD WE THEN -- IF WE CAN IRON OUT THROUGH THE CRA -- THROUGH THE DOWNTOWN CRA -- IRON OUT THE REST OF IT, AS WE LOOK FORWARD, ESPECIALLY -- ESPECIALLY IN THAT BUDGET CYCLE THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT SOON. OKAY, YES. SO THAT IS WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IS -- AGAIN, I DON'T KNOW IF MY COLLEAGUES AGREE OR DISAGREE, BUT ULTIMATELY, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE CRA FINANCE -- OR PAY FOR THIS INSTEAD OF LOOKING AT ANY DEBT FERNING, MOBILITY F FEES, CIT VERSION TWO. OTHER THINGS THAT THAT MONEY CAN BE USED FOR. I WOULD LIKE TO GET AS MUCH FROM THE CRA AS POSSIBLE AND TO TAKE THE REST OF THOSE 2016 CIT BONDS TO PAY DOWN THE DEBT ON THE WEST RIVERWALK SO WE TAKE LESS MONEY FOR THAT. THAT -- THAT IS THE SCENARIO I WOULD LIKE TO PLAY WITH. >>DENNIS ROGERO: UNDERSTOOD. >>LYNN HURTAK: BOTH THINGS THE PUBLIC HAS SAID WE DON'T WANT TO SPEND CITY DOLLARS ON. TECHNICALLY WE COULD SPEND THE CIT BONDS IN MANY DIFFERENT WAYS BUT SINCE IT IS ALLOCATED WE MIGHT AS WELL PAY OFF DEBT BEFORE WE TAKE IT ON. >>DENNIS ROGERO: UNDERSTOOD. COUNCIL -- DEPENDING ON THE DECISION OF COUNCIL AND YOU SIT AS THE CRA BOARD, YOU ARE WELL PLACED TO DO EXACTLY THAT IN TERMS OF WHAT WE HAVE BEFORE YOU AND THE TIMING OF WHEN THE FUNDING WILL BE NEEDED. >>LYNN HURTAK: OKAY, TODAY SAY WE MOVED -- MR. CAMPBELL YOU SAID YOU NEEDED 2 MILLION? >> BRANDON CAMPBELL: YES. >>LYNN HURTAK: MOVED THE $2 MILLION FROM THE BROREIN STREET INTO THE BOND WILL THAT BE OKAY. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THE TRANSPORTATION GRANT. >>DENNIS ROGERO: APPROPRIATING IN THE GRANT. >>LYNN HURTAK: MOVING THE CA SHALL TO GET US STARTED. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I HEAR YOU CORRECTLY MOVE THE 5,354,695 INTEREST THE TRANSPORTATION GRANTS PROGRAM AND $2 MILLION FROM THE CIT. >>LYNN HURTAK: TRANSFER AND ALLOCATION OF 5,354,695 WITHIN THE TRANSPORTATION GRANTS CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND AND $2 MILLION WITHIN THE CIT SERIES 2016 BONDS CAPITAL PROJECTS FUNDS FOR BROREIN STREET CATEGORY FOR USE BY THE UNITE ASHLEY DRIVE PROJECT PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: SECOND. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WE HAVE A MOTION FROM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK. A SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER MANISCALCO. EVERYBODY UNDERSTAND THE MOTION? ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. OPPOSED? THE AYES HAVE IT. >>LYNN HURTAK: I WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE BOTH OF YOU TO -- AND CRA STAFF AND STILL WORKING AROUND IT A MISS COPESKY AND WE ARE ALL WORKING TOGETHER AND I ASSUME THAT THE 2026 BUDGET WOULD BE A GOOD TIME TO LOOK AND SEE HOW WE CAN PUT THIS FORWARD. >>DENNIS ROGERO: YES, WE CAN REFINE IT AND SET UP THE FUNDING TIMING AND AMOUNTS PROSPECTIVELY. >>LYNN HURTAK: SO SILL CONTINUE -- I WILL COMMIT TO CONTINUING TO WORK YOU WITH ON THIS. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH. >>DENNIS ROGERO: THANK YOU, COUNCIL. >>BILL CARLSON: CAN I ASK A QUICK QUESTION? >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCIL MEMBER CARLSON. >>BILL CARLSON: STILL CERTAINS IN THE COMMUNITY OF THE CONFIGURATION OF THIS PROJECT. JUST NOW TALKING OF HOW THE MONEY WILL BE ALLOCATED. IS THERE ANY -- IS THE PROJECT ALREADY SET AS IS? OR ANY ROOM FOR ADDITIONAL PUBLIC FEEDBACK ON IT. >> BRANDON CAMPBELL. THE GRANT AGREEMENT THAT OBLIGATES US TO DIFFERENT THINGS. BUT THE WORK ORDER WITH A NOTICE TO PROCEED ON INCLUDES CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT PURSUANT TO THE N EPA EVALUATION SO CERTAINLY ROOM FOR MODIFICATIONS. I BROUGHT RENDERING BEFORE YOU BEFORE. THOSE WILL BE DEFINITELY MODIFIED FROM THAT BECAUSE THEY ARE FIRST LEVEL. >>BILL CARLSON: ANY PUBLIC MEETINGS DURING THAT TIME. >> BRANDON CAMPBELL: YES, THEY WILL BE. >>BILL CARLSON: DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME YET? >> BRANDON CAMPBELL: NO. >>BILL CARLSON: OKAY. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: SIX CITIES IN THE COUNTRY WITH THE RECONNECTION COMMUNITY GRANT? >> BRANDON CAMPBELL: I AM NOT SURE HOW MANY. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I RECEIVED A TEXT OR E-MAIL OR WHATEVER YOU CALL IT ON OTHER THINGS THAT SAYS THAT. AND THE -- CALLED RECONNECTING THE COMMUNITY GRANT FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION. >> BRANDON CAMPBELL: YES, A COMPETITIVE GRANT. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK. >>LYNN HURTAK: I WAS TOLD THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE RESOLUTION. MISS CLERK, WHAT DO I NEED TO DO? >>DENNIS ROGERO: WHAT I WOULD SUGGEST TO PROCEED AS THE MOTION AS RENDERED AND WE CAN FOLLOW UP THE FINANCIAL RESOLUTION TO RECORD WITH THE VOTE TODAY. >>MARTIN SHELBY: DOES THAT COME BACK TO COUNCIL? >>DENNIS ROGERO: IT CAN. I DON'T THINK THAT IS NECESSARY BUT DEFER LEGAL. >>MARTIN SHELBY: DOES THE RESOLUTION NEED TO BE SIGNED BY THE CHAIR? >>DENNIS ROGERO: I THINK THIS RESOLUTION -- I CONFIRM -- >>ALAN CLENDENIN: CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN WHY COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK'S MOTION IS NOT PROPER? >> AGAIN, MR. MIKE PERRY. THE KNOWER OF ALL THINGS POINTS OUT THAT THE RESOLUTION DOES HAVE TO BE SIGNED BY THE MAYOR. IN MY CHECKERED PAST IN OTHER LOCALITIES, WE WOULD TAKE THE MOTION, APPROVAL OF THE MOTION AS APPROVAL BY CITY COUNCIL AND HAVE THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER SIGN IT. I DON'T SEE ANY DIFFICULTY WITH BRINGING IT BACK, AS LONG AS WE ARE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE AS TO WHAT YOU WANT TO ACCOMPLISH. >>LYNN HURTAK: I AM FINE WITH BRINGING IT BACK THEN. >>DENNIS ROGERO: THANKS, MA'AM. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THIS IS WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND, THIS WOULD BE A CONTINUANCE. WE PASSED A MOTION, WHY WOULD NOT BE IN ORDER? >>MARTIN SHELBY: BECAUSE THE CITY COUNCIL TRADITIONALLY DOES NOT DO RESOLUTIONS ON THE FLY WHEN SOMETHING HAS BEEN FILED IN ON-BASE. IT IS EITHER UP, DOWN -- >>ALAN CLENDENIN: YOU LOST ME AT TRADITIONALLY. >>MARTIN SHELBY: BECAUSE IT IS IMPOSSIBLE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WHY IS IT IMPROPER? >>MARTIN SHELBY: THE WAY THE CITY COUNCIL PROCESSES RESOL RESOLUTIONS. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WHY IS IT IMPROPER? >>MARTIN SHELBY: YOU GO IN AND SIGN RESOLUTIONS ALREADY FILED WITH THE CLERK TO SIGN WITH A SIGNATURE. SOMEBODY FROM THE STAFF COMES TO YOU AND SAYS, SIGN THIS. OR -- >>ALAN CLENDENIN: CAN'T THEY MODIFY THAT BEFORE MY SIGNATURE? >>MARTIN SHELBY: PARDON? MR. CHAIRMAN, WE CAN DISCUSS THIS AFTER THE FACT, BUT THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS, IT IS NOT THE WAY IT HAS BEEN DONE. I HATE SAYING THAT, BUT NORMALLY A VERY GOOD REASON WHEN YOU ARE PLAYING WITH A LOT OF MONEY. >>DENNIS ROGERO: IF I MAY, MR. CHAIR, IN THE INTERIM, MIKE SAYS THAT HIS SHOP CAN TURN THAT REVISED FINANCIAL RESOLUTION AROUND BY THE END OF YOUR MEETING. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: OKAY, SO -- >>MARTIN SHELBY: THAT IS THE IDEA. >>LYNN HURTAK: LET US KNOW WHEN IT IS READY. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: NOW WE NEWS DO SOME BUSINESS. SO A MOTION TO -- >>MARTIN SHELBY: RETURN WITH THAT. >>LYNN HURTAK: A MOTION TO RETURN WITH THE -- >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: SECOND. >>LYNN HURTAK: -- WITH THE MOTION THAT I STATED EARLIER. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: MOTION FROM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK. SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. OPPOSED? MR. CARLSON. >>BILL CARLSON: DOES SHE NEED TO CALL -- NO? YOU DON'T NEED TO CALL IT? ONE THING I WAS GOING TO SAY IF YOU WERE BRINGING IT BACK ANOTHER DAY, I WISH WE WOULD SAY AS PREVIOUSLY APPROVED AND WHATEVER. BUT IF IT IS COMING BACK TODAY, FINE. >>DENNIS ROGERO: IF WE DID SO, WE WOULD EXACTLY THAT. >>BILL CARLSON: SO THE PUBLIC WILL KNOW. WE SHOULD PUT IN ON A WORKSHOP ONE TIME WHAT MARTY JUST SAID BY ACCIDENT AND BY YOUR QUESTION IS A PRETTY BIG DEAL. BECAUSE AS I RECALL IN THE CHARTER, WE CAN'T NEGOTIATE CONTRACTS, SO IF THERE IS A CONTRACT THAT THE ADMINISTRATION IS NEGOTIATED AND THEY COME BACK TO US, AND WE -- ALL WE CAN DO IS VOTE THAT UP AND DOWN BUT WE ARE ALLOWED TO MOVE BUDGET NUMBERS AROUND SO THIS IS NOT -- THIS IS NOT A CONTRACT. WE SHOULD BY CHARTER BE ABLE TO EDIT CONTRACTS AND I WOULD ARGUE RESOLUTION BUS A CONVERSATION -- >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I THINK MR. SHELBY OF HAVING THE CONVERSATION OF THIS OFF LINE TO GET A LITTLE MORE CLARITY HOW THIS IS GOING TO WORK. BUT I AGREE YOU WITH OF THE CONTRACT DISCUSSION AS WELL. POINT IS WELL TAKEN. OKAY, LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU GUYS BEFORE THE CLOSE OF BUSINESS TODAY. THANK YOU. WE ARE GOING TO GET OUT OF HERE EARLY, SO GET TO WORK. >>DENNIS ROGERO: MIKE, GET THIS THING DONE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: VERY GOOD. NEXT ITEM -- I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HEARD THIS, CHIEF TRIPP, BUT WE WILL DO ITEM 97 FIRST. ITEM 97 FIRST. THOSE OF HOW HAVE THIS DISCUSSION. DID WE VOTE ON NICK SPEAKING. >>CHIEF TRIPP: GOOD AFTERNOON, COUNCIL. BARBARA TRIPP OF FIRE RESCUE. ITEM NUMBER 97 UPDATE ON STATION 24. WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL PARTNERS AND WE CAN GIVE YOU A REPORT OF OPERATION WHAT IS GOING ON NOTICE AREA. WE ARE STILL RESPONDING TO CALLS. RESPONDING TO THE COMMUNITY THROUGH STATION 13. AS FAR AS THE TIMELINE, I HAVE MY PROJECT MANAGER WHO IS ONLINE AS WELL TO GIVE YOU SOME UPDATES. AS WELL AS IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, WE DO HAVE CONTRACTORS. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: FOLKS ONLINE, DO YOU WANT TIME TO PRESENT OR ARE YOU HERE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS? GOOD AFTERNOON. I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE A QUICK PRESENTATION. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: HOLD ON ONE SECOND. >>LYNN HURTAK: GET THE VOLUME UP. SEEMS LIKE THE MICROPHONE IS NOT WORKING AT THE LECTERN. I AM HAVING TROUBLE HEARING PEOPLE TODAY. I AM HAVING A REAL HARD TIME HEARING. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: PULL UP THE ONLINE SPEAKER. OKAY. CAN WE TURN YOUR CAMERA ON. >> SHARING MY CAMERA RIGHT NOW. HERE I AM. GOOD AFTERNOON. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WE SEE YOU. STATE YOUR NAME FIRST, PLEASE. >> KEN, UNIT DIRECTOR WITH PROJECT -- THE PROJECT MANAGER. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THE FLOOR IS YOURS. >> GREAT, THANK YOU. IF I CAN JUST SHARE MY SCREEN. COULD YOU SEE THE SCREEN. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WE SEE THE SCREEN AND DOING THE DROP MODE. DO YOU HAVE TO PUT IT IN PRESENTATION MODE? WE CAN SEE IT THAT WAY. THAT'S FINE. I DON'T THINK THE PUBLIC SEES YOUR SCREEN THOUGH. >>LYNN HURTAK: IF YOU CAN PUT IT IN -- >>ALAN CLENDENIN: PRESENTATION MO MODE. >> SHOWING PRESENTATION MODE ON MY SCREEN. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WE SEE YOUR WORK MODE LIKE YOU GSTUFF. ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT. NOW IT IS GONE. YOU WANT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH WHAT YOU HAVE. >> SURE. >>LYNN HURTAK: THAT'S FINE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I DON'T THINK THE PUBLIC CAN SEE THAT THOUGH. TELEVISION CREW. >> THANK YOU AGAIN FOR ALLOWING ME TO PRESENT. A VERY BRIEF PRESENTATION AND A QUICK UPDATE WHERE WE ARE WITH FIRE STATION 24 AT THIS POINT. JUST REALLY QUICKLY, THE CORE TEAM, WE HAVE SHOWED HERE ON THE SCREEN BEYOND THE CITY AND THE TAMPA FIRE RESCUE. WE ARE PART PROJECT LEADERS, THE PROJECT MANAGERS AND THE DESIGN-BUILD INCIDENTS TEE COMPRISED OF OUR TEXT DESIGN GROUP AND CONTRACTING. AND REALLY QUICK REGARDING THE DESIGN TEAM AND OURSELVES. WE CAME ON BOARD IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR. SO THE DESIGN TEAM HAD A NOTICE TO PROCEED MARCH. AND WE CAME IN SHORTLY THEREAFTER. QUICK QUICK ON THE PROJECT LOCATION. A QUICK OVERVIEW WHERE THE TWO STATIONS ARE THAT WE ARE CURRENTLY TALKING ABOUT. FIRE STATION 24 EAST BAY DRIVE AND OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE MEMBERS THAT ARE TAKING OVER THE BRUNT OF THE WORK, FIRE STATION 14 WHICH IS TWO AND A HALF MILES AWAA. WHERE WE ARE AT CURRENTLY RIGHT NOW WITH THE DESIGN. SO RIGHT NOW, THE DESIGN TEAM HAS BEEN WORKING IN THE PREDESIGN PHASE. DUE DILIGENCE OUT ON THE SITE. THE DESIGN TEAM IS WORKING WITH AN OLDER SITE SURVEY. WE DID THE ORIGINAL PRESENTATION BACK WHEN WE WERE HIRED AS THE DESIGN TEAM AND PART OF THE THE DESIGN BUILD ENTITY. AS PART OF THE DUE DILIGENCE, THEY WENT OUT THERE AND TOOK A LOOK AT THE WETLAND AND DELINEATION OF THE WETLANDS AND FOUND IT SHRUNK THE WETLANDS PRETTY PRETTY SIGNIFICANTLY. WHAT WE ARE DEALING WITH NOW IS DEALING WITH THE SITE THAT WILL HOPEFULLY HANDLE MOST OF THE STORMWATER DRAINAGE RATHER THAN UNDERGROUND OR DRAINAGE STRUCTURES WHICH ARE SIGNIFICANTLY LESS EXPENSIVE. DUE DILIGENCE WAS WELL WORTH THE EFFORT TO, AGAIN, DETERMINE EXACTLY WHAT WAS ON-SITE. SO THIS IS OUR FIRST OPTION FOR WHAT THIS SITE MIGHT LOOK LIKE. SO ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE, THE LARGER PARCEL IS WHERE THE -- THE BUILDING IS ANTICIPATED TO GO ALONG WITH THE CIRCULATION AND THE PARKING. THE WHITE BAR THAT IS IN THE MIDDLE OF THESE TWO GREEN SPACES HAPPEN TO BE WHAT CUTS THROUGH THE PARCEL. AND ON THE RIGHT-HAND SPIED OF THE GREEN SPACE WILL BE USED FOR ADDITIONAL STORMWATER RETENTION. AND THAT -- WHAT WE ARE GOING TO LOOK AT FOR BOTH OPTIONS. THIS IS THE FIRST OPTION WHEN YOU COME IN ON THE SECOND ENTRANCE OFF OF EAST WHITE WAY CIRCLE AND AROUND THE BUILDING AND ACCESS NOT ONLY SECURED PARKING BUT THE UPPER ATTIC SPACE. NEXT SLIDE YOU SEE HERE HAPPENS TO BE THE FIRST-FLOOR PLAN THAT GOES WITH OPTION NUMBER ONE. SO THIS FIRST-FLOOR PLAN IS BASED ON THE SPACE NEEDS ASSESSMENT THAT WAS DONE EARLY, EARLY ON IN THE PROCESS AS PART OF THE PROGRAMMING EFFORT. SO THE DESIGN TEAM GAVE US A BUNCH OF QUESTIONS, AND WE WENT THROUGH THOSE WITH THE FIRE -- FIRE STATION. AND THE CHIEF AND HER TEAM TO DETERMINE WHAT THEIR NEEDS WERE. AND HOW MANY BUCS, HOW MANY BAYS, YOU A MANY ANCILLARY AND WHAT COMES OUT FOR FIRST -- FOR THE FIRST ITERATION OF THAT SITE PLAN AND THAT FIRST-FLOOR PLAN. THIS, AGAIN, IS VERY, VERY EARLY IN THE DESIGN PROCESS. WE ARE IN PREDESIGN. THIS LIKELY WILL CHANGE AND LOOK AT THE NEXT ITERATIONS OF THE DESIGN. PARKING SPACES WILL BE SMALLER. SOME SPACES REMOVED. SOME ADDED, ETC., ETC., AS WE GO THROUGH THE DESIGN PROCESS. SECOND OPTION WE SHOW OPTION NUMBER TWO IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT CONFIGURATION OF THE BUILDING. APPARATUS BAYS ON THE EASTERN SIDE OF THE BUILDING RATHER THAT THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE BUILDING AND EARNER INTO THE SITE THROUGH THE FIRST SITE OF THE FIRST ENTRANCE OFF EAST-WEST LAKE DRIVE. AND THE SECURED PARKING IS. AND YOU ACCESS THE APPARATUS SPACE. SIMILARLY, HERE IS THE FIRST-FLOOR PLAN FOR THAT ACTION. AGAIN, SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT CONFIGURATION. AND ALL CONFORMING TO THE SPACE NEEDS ASSESSMENT IN THE PROGRAM THAT WAS GIVEN TO A DESIGN TEAM OF THE DESIGN PROCESS. SPEAKING A LITTLE BIT MORE INTO THE PROJECT SCHEDULE. WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS THE OVERALL SCHEDULE THAT WAS PROVIDED BY THE DESIGN-BUILD TEAM TO OUTLINE ALL THE DIFFERENT FROM THEIR NOTICE TO PROCEED ALL THE WAY TO CONSTRUCTION. AND -- AND THAT IS ESSENTIALLY THE 461 DAYS THAT WE SPOKE ABOUT LAST TIME THAT ARE CURRENT UNDER CONTRACT. AND SO AS YOU CAN SEE ON TOP OF THE PAGE, THERE ARE IS -- YOU KNOW, THIS HAS BEEN TRUNCATED AND TO FIT IT ON ONE SHEET, BUT THERE ARE SEVERAL TASK ALREADY COMPLETED WHICH IS NUMBER 17. THE 72 IT IS A TAX HAVE BEEN COMPLETED. AND WE ARE SHOWING CURRENT STATUS OF THIS RED BAR ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE. THAT WILL CONTINUE TO MARCH DOWN THAT -- THAT GRAPHIC ON THE RIGHT TO SHOW HOW THEY ARE GOING TO PROGRESS THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WANTED TO DO JUST FOR CLARITY SAKE AND TO HELP WITH EXPECTATIONS FROM ORDINANCES TO SHOW THAT THEY HAVE SCHEDULED THAT MULTITASK SCHEDULE OF A BIG OVERALL MACRO SCHEDULE. WHAT WE SHOWED HERE OUT OF THE BIG CHUNKS OF TIME THAT ARE PART OF THE DESIGN PHASE TO GET US TO THE GMP. TO GET US FINALLY INTO CONSTRUCTION. SO AS YOU CAN SEE HERE AS PER THE CONTRACTOR OF THE DESIGN PHASE WHICH IS 15 MONTHS. CURRENTLY IN PREDESIGN WORKING TO THE NEXT PHASE WHICH IS CONSIDERED SCHEMATIC DESIGN, 30% COMPLETION OF THE CONTRACT. AND GOES INTO DESIGN DEVELOPMENT WHICH IS THE NEXT PHASE WILL HAPPEN ON AND TO THE FIRST NOVEMBER AND THEN GO WITH THE FINAL CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS WITH 90. AND THEN FINAL CONTRACT DOCUMENTS WHICH WILL BE THE GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE, GMP FOR THE CONTRACTOR THE LAST PART OF MAY OF NEXT YEAR. ONE OF THE THINGS WE DID WANT TO DISCUSS IS, THIS IS IMPORTANT FOR MOVING FORWARD AS WE WANT TO LOOK AT ALL ASPECTS OF THE PROJECT TO REDUCE AND COMPRESS THE SCHEDULE. WE UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS JUST AS IMPORTANT. AND ONE OF THE THINGS WE LIKE TO FOCUS ON THE MOST AND THE COST AND QUALITY IS THE SCHEDULE OF THE PROPERTY. WITH WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE SCHEDULE AS S AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. BETWEEN LAST COUNCIL MEETING AND THIS COUNCIL MEETING, WE HAVE THE SCHEDULE IN THE MATTER OF 30-PLUS DAY WITH THE REMOVAL OF ONE TASK WHICH IS DUPLICATION OF CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL WHICH WILL NOT BE REQUIRED FOR THE PROJECT DINS GM; REQUIRED TO BE UNDER $20 MILLION. AND WE OUTLINED SOME OTHER ITEMS WE CAN GAIN SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION ON TASK WHICH IS THE OWNER REVIEW PROCESS THAT HAPPENS AT EACH PHASE OF THE DESIGN WHERE WE HAVE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TIME. THAT IS WITH A REVIEW AND DO A PEER REVIEW AND DESIGN REVIEW. AND REDUCE THAT. SO WE ARE LOOKING AT ALL THOSE ASPECTS OF REVIEW PROCESS. WE HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE PERMITTING AGENCIES IN THE CITY. WE HAVE A MEETING THAT WILL HAPPEN IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS TO GET US AND THE DESIGN-BUILD TEAM IN THE SAME -- AND START PARK BEING THE PERMITTING PROCESS AND REALLY GET INTO THE AREA THE PERMITTING PROCESS AND IMPRESS THE TIME FRAME. HOW CAN YOU WE ASSURE THAT THE FIRST SUBMISSIONS ARE GOING TO BE THE SUBMISSIONS AND NOT HAVE TO DO RESUBMITS AND HAVE THE PERMITTING AGENCY AND THE AUTHORITIES HAVE JURISDICTION. EVERYTHING THEY NEED AT THE FIRST ITERATION AND GO BACK AND FORTH. AND CLOSE UP THOSE BOTTLENECKS AS MAKE SURE WE GET THAT INTERVIEW PROCESS MOVING AS EFFECTIVELY AS POSSIBLE. WE ARE LOOKING FOR REDUCTION IN TIME AS WELL. ALSO SOME OPPORTUNITY WITH THE DESIGN DURATIONS. WE HAVE BEEN IN CLOSE CONTACT OBVIOUSLY WITH THE A TICKET AND THE DESIGN TEAM AND IF IT FITS THEIR SCHEDULE AS WELL, THEY OUTLINES SOME AREAS WITH ADDITIONAL FLOAT AND PULL THAT TIME IN. AS TIME PROGRESSES HERE, WE WILL BE ABLE TO BE PULL DATES BACK AGUILAR WE MOVE FORWARD IN THE PROCESS AND EVERYBODY IS GOING TO LOOK TO WORK THAT IN GOING FORWARD. LIKEWISE, ALWAYS THE ABILITY TO ENABLING WORK AND EARLY SITE WORK AND LOOKING AT THE PROJECT IN A DIFFERENT WAY. WORKING WITH A CONTRACTING FIRM AS WELL AS A DESIGN TEAM TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANY OPPORTUNITIES THERE AS WELL. THAT WILL BE DEVELOPED IN THE COMING WEEKS AS WE CONTINUE TO MOVE THROUGH THE DESIGN PROCESS AND HOPEFULLY AT SOME POINT AS WE CONTINUE WITH THESE -- THESE UPDATES TO THE COUNCIL, WE START SEEING THAT THE SCHEDULE WILL BE REQUESTED MORE AND MORE. THIS IS -- THE GRAPHIC ON THE LEFT IS JUST MORE OF A BLOW-UP OF WHERE THE STATION WAS IN REFERENCE TO THE SOFTBALL COMPLEX AT GRECO. AND WHERE IT IS LOCATED IN THE CITY. SO WITH THAT, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT THE COUNCIL MAY HAVE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: DOES COUNCIL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS AS SOON AS COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA. >>LUIS VIERA: I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. WE MET YESTERDAY. CAN I GO THROUGH SOME REMARKS IF HE MAY, MR. CHAIR? >>ALAN CLENDENIN: DOES COUNCIL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE PRESENT HER IN. >>LYNN HURTAK: I DO. I JUST HAVE ONE QUESTION. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK. >>LYNN HURTAK: THIS SOUNDS FABULOUS THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO FIND SOME AREA WHERE IS YOU CAN CLOSE SOME GAPS. THANK YOU FOR THAT. I AM GLAD THAT BRINGING YOU ON HAS ALREADY BROUGHT ABOUT CONVERSATIONS. DO WE EXPECT TO HAVE A MODIFIED SCHEDULE OR TIMELINE? >> I WOULD ANTICIPATE SO, YES. I THINK THAT -- YOU WILL SEE THAT, AGAIN, AS WE GO PERIODICALLY. ALREADY HAS AS MODIFIED SCHEDULED BASED ON CONVERSATION BETWEEN THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING AND THIS COUNCIL MEETING REDUCING THE OVERALL DIVERSION BY A MONTH WITH -- BETWEEN THIS MEETING AND THE NEXT MEETING, SEVERAL CONVERSATIONS THAT WILL HAPPEN. PROBABLY THE FIRST ONE THAT WILL BE THE MOST IMPORTANT TO ME IS THE PERMITTING PROCESS AND WORK WITH THE CITY AGENCIES TO REDUCE THAT AS WELL. SO BETWEEN THAT DISCUSSION, AS WELL AS ME HAVING OUR DISCUSSIONS INTERNALLY WITH MY TEAM, THE CHIEF AND HER TEAM ON HOW WE CAN POTENTIALLY REDUCE AND COMPRESS THE SCHEDULE ON OUR ORDER REVIEWS. WE OPEN THAT THOSE TWO ITEMS ALONE WILL SHOW SOME COMPRESSION IN SCHEDULE AT THE NEXT GO AROUND. THE DESIGN TEAM AND THE CONTRACT THEY ARE, IT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT TAMPA DESIGN TEAM HAS A CONTROL OF THE REST OF PHASES OF THE DESIGN. SO IT IS GOING TO BE IMPORTANT THAT WE CONTINUE OUR CONVERSATION AND ONE WILL IMPACT THE OTHER. PERMITTING DISCUSSION ALSO ULTIMATELY IMPACT HOW THE DESIGN TEAM WILL DO THEIR WORK. OUR HOPE WITH THE PERMITTING GROUPS AND THE AGENCIES AND DESIGN TEAM CAN LOOK AT THEIR SCHEDULE AND DEAL FROM THE COMPRESSED SCHEDULE AS WELL. HOPING TO HAVE MULTIPLE COMPRESSIONS AS WE ARE GO FORWARD HERE AND BE ABLE TO SHOW THOSE REVISED TIMELINES AT THE NEXT -- AT THE COMING MEETINGS COMING UP. >>LYNN HURTAK: THAT'S GREAT. BECAUSE I KNOW THAT KIRK KALOKIS DOES A LOT OF WORK WITH THE CITY. I AM HOPING SINCE THEY HAVE THAT CONNECTION WITH PERMITTING WE WILL DEFINITELY MOVE THIS FORWARD. I WILL BE LOOKING AT THAT CERTAINLY FOR FUTURE PROJECTS. >> YES. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA. GENERAL REMARKS AS WE KICK OFF THIS DISCUSSION. >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU MUCH. I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT SAY THIS IS 30 DAYS FROM SEPTEMBER OF 2026 CORRECT? IN OTHER WORDS, YOU ARE SAYING SHAVE OFF 30 DAYS FROM SEPTEMBER OF 2026, MARK, CORRECT? >> THAT'S CORRECT. DOWN TO AUGUST OF '26. >>LUIS VIERA: THAT IS MY PROBLEM AND I AM GOING TO TALK AND GO TO HISTORY. I APPRECIATE JAY YOU, KEN, CHIEF TRIPP AND MR. MUNICIPALITIERBACK AND WANT TO GET THIS MOVING. AND AND WILL SHOW THEY A STATION THAT HAS BEEN SUPPORTED FOR A WHILE, BUT THERE ARE DIFFERENT CHALLENGES THAT I THINK ARE VERY, VERY IMPORTANT TO GO THROUGH BY VIRTUE OF HISTORY. I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT AGAIN IN FEBRUARY OF 2025, WE GOT A REPORT ON THIS STATION. AND I WANT TO REMIND COUNCIL, THAT WE WERE TOLD THAT GROUNDBREAK WOOING O-- GROUNDBREAKING WOULD BE AROUND MARCH OF '26 AND WE WERE UNHAPPY ABOUT THAT. WE WERE TOLD DIFFERENT THINGS TO EXPEDITE THE PROCESS INCLUDING HIRING A PROJECT MANAGER WHICH WE IS IT. LAST TIME HEARD SEPTEMBER 2026 THAT FRUSTRATES CHIEF TRIPP AND LOCAL 754 AND FRUSTRATES TAMPA CITY COUNCIL. I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO GO THROUGH BASIC HISTORY ISSUES HERE, BECAUSE THIS STATION HAS REALLY BEEN A LONG TIME COMING. UP PASS OUT TO TAMPA COUNCIL AND I CAN FILE THIS IN THE PUBLIC RECORD A COUPLE OF DOCUMENTS THAT I THINK ARE VERY, VERY IMPORTANT FOR TRANSPARENCY ON WHERE WE HAVE BEEN ON STATION 24. IF YOU LOOK AT WHAT I MARK AS -- WHAT YOU CAN CALL AS EXHIBIT ONE, IT IS APRIL 20, 2022 DOCUMENT AND E-MAIL FROM THE CITY OF TAMPA SHOWING FIRE STATION 24 WITH REAL ESTATE CONSIDERING POTENTIAL SITES. >>LYNN HURTAK: I WAS GOING TO SAY WOULD YOU LIKE TO -- >>LUIS VIERA: ABSOLUTELY. IF YOU WOULD LIKE. WITH TAMPA -- AND YOU KNOW WHAT -- YOU DON'T NEED TO PUT IT ON THE ELMO THERE. THE PUBLIC CAN'T READ IT. BUT WHATEVER. >>MARTIN SHELBY: MR. VIERA, DO YOU HAVE A COPY FOR THE CLERK? >>LUIS VIERA: YES. I WAS GOING TO DO A MOTION FOR THAT AFTERWARDS. SO WE HAVE A DOCUMENT HERE WHICH IS FROM APRIL OF 2022 SHOWING PARTICULAR SITES. THERE WAS AN EARLY DISCUSSION THAT MY OFFICE HAD WITH CHIEF TRIPP ON WHERE STATION 24 WAS GOING TO BE ON K-BAR RANCH VERSUS THE NORTH TAMPA AREA. EXHIBIT 2, JULY 25, 2022. E-MAIL FROM TAMPA FIRE RESCUE INQUIRING WHERE 24 WOULD BE. ANSWER WAS NOT K-BAR RANCH OR NORTH TAMPA. I DEFER TO CHIEF TRIPP. YOU DON'T NEED TO GO THROUGH THOSE. I APPRECIATE IT. YOU CAN GO THROUGH THOSE BUT NOT THROUGH THE ELMO THERE. AN IMPORTANT NOTE BECAUSE IN THE MIDDLE OF 20622. NEW TAMPA, FOWLER BUSCH. WHEN THE CLOCK SHOULD START TICKING FOR STATIONARY SOURCE COMMITTEE NUMBER 24. IT IS VERY CRITICAL. EXHIBIT 3, NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER OF, 4092 WHITEWAY WAS CHOSEN AND LAND HAD BEEN SURVEYED. END OF 2022, TWO AND THREE QUARTERS YEARS AGO, THE ADMINISTRATION SAID LISTEN, THIS IS WHERE WE ARE GOING TO DO IT. JANUARY OF 2023 WAS AGREED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH DESIGN-BUILD AFTER THEY AGREED WITH THE LAND LOCATION. DOCUMENT HERE WHICH IS IT EXHIBIT FOUR THAT I HAVE, THERE IS SOMETHING THAT WAS PRESENTED IN THE FEBRUARY 2025 MEETING BY THE ADMINISTRATION WHERE IT SHOW AS WORK ORDER ISSUED TO OTERO ENGINEERING FOR $40,000 FOR STATION 24, AS WELL AS AN OCTOBER-NOVEMBER MANAGEMENT PLAN DELIVERY DONE WITH SITE INVESTIGATION AND REPORT DELIVERY AGAIN. THE BALL IS YOU ROLLING. THIS IS TWO AND A HALF -- LITTLE OVER TWO YEARS AGO, THE PAUL IS ROLLING WITH VIGOR. THEN WE HAVE A DISCUSSION. BECAUSE A LOT SAID OF LOCAL 754 AND SAYING, THEY BEAT THEREFORE SITE. COUPLE OF THINGS. ADMINISTRATION ASKING ALWAYS DO WHAT THEY WANT TO DO. STRONG MAYOR FORM OF GOVERNMENT, RIGHT. TO THE EXTENT A DIALOGUE WITH THE UNION ON THIS SITE. THERE WAS ONE AND HE WILL GO INTO IT AND DATES AND FACTS ON THAT. THAT WAS VERY, VERY SHORT-LIVED. LOCAL 754 CAME TO ME AND THERE WAS CONCERN OF A AIR I CAN'T HAVE FIRE STATION. MY POSITION WAS AT IN WHICH IS LET'S HAVE IT AT WHITE WAY. NUMBER ONE, THE PROFESSIONALS WILL DO WHAT THEY DO IN MANAGEMENT -- MAY I HAVE A COUPLE MORE MINUTES, IF I MAY. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: TWO MORE MINUTES. OPPOSITION? UNANIMOUS CONSENT. >>LUIS VIERA: PROBABLY NEED THREE BUT FINE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THAT IS WHEN THINGS STARTED. NOVEMBER 9 OF ALLERGY, THERE WAS A FACEBOOK POST THIS DAY. ALWAYS A TWEET. ALWAYS A FACEBOOK POST, RIGHT. WHERE DONNIE, MR. STOCCO AND I MET WITH THE ADMINISTRATION TO COMMUNICATE THAT WE -- EVERYBODY WAS -- IT HAD BEEN AGREED TO FOR STATION 24 BEING ON WHITE WAY. THAT IS TWO AND A HALF YEARS AGO IN THAT REGARD. YOU GO TO EXHIBIT 6. I WAS A LITTLE SICK. NOVEMBER 8, 2023 A MEMO SHOWING THAT THE PROPERTY WOULD BE USED FOR STATION 24. CIVIL ENGINEERING VISIBILITY ANALYSIS WAS DONE. IN THE PROCESS OF A REQUIREMENT DESIGN PACKAGE. BALL WAS ROLLING. NOVEMBER OF 2023. AND MY FRUSTRATION COMES FROM NOVEMBER OF 2023 TO THE GROUNDBREAKING, WE ARE TOLD IS GOING TO BE TWO AND A HALF YEARS FROM THAT TIME WHEN THE BALL WAS ROLLING, AS I WILL TALK ABOUT. WE FUNDED DESIGN BEFORE THAT AS THE TAMPA CITY COUNCIL. AND TOLD TWO AND A HALF YEARS AFTER THAT WAS A PROPER TIME FOR GROUNDBREAKING, SOMETHING I REALLY CONTEST. EXHIBIT NUMBER 7, SHOW FISCAL YEAR 2024 AND 2028 BUDGET. $1 IS 6 MILLION FOR DESIGN. I SAY WE PASSED DESIGN IN 2023, WE DID NOT VOTE FOR THE PLANT FOR DESIGN BUT GAVE THE ADMINISTRATION MONEY FOR IT. JANUARY 2024, CITY COUNCIL APPROVED RESOLUTION 2024HORN 139 WHICH SET IN MOTION THROUGH BONDING $16 MILLION TO $17 MILLION TO FUND STATION 4. THEY HAVE THE TO DESIGN MONEY AND DO MONEY THROUGH BONDS. EVERYTHING WAS SET FEBRUARY 2025. THEN WE HAVE MEETING. EXHIBIT NUMBER 8. MARCH 21 OF 2025 WAS A REMINDER THAT FEBRUARY 6 OF BEEF WE WILL HAVE A MEETING THAT WE ARE TOLD ON MARCH 2026 OF GROUNDBREAKING DATE. TAMPA CITY COUNCIL IS NOT HAPPY WITH THAT. WE ARE TOLD CERTAIN THINGS THAT CAN BE DONE TO EXPEDITE THAT. THIS MEMO IS CONSISTENT WITH THAT. A MEMO FROM TAMPA FIRE RESCUE THAT SHOWED AN EX-PETITION DIEDI -- EXPEDITED PROCESS OF ACCELERATING THE SCHEDULED. NOT ACCELERATING WITHIN 461 DAYS. SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN STAYED BEFORE. WE VOTE AND ON THAT. ALL YOU HAVE US WERE FRUSTRATED IN MARCH OF 20626. TIMELINE OF 461 DAYS. IF WE DID NOT APPROVE, WE WOULD DELAY THIS PROJECT EAST EVEN MORE AND THAT IS THE ONLY REASON WE HAVE VOTED FOR THAT. NOT TO DO A 461 DAYS, BUT TO PUSH IT WITHIN AND BEFORE MARCH OF 2026. YOU SEE SOME MEMO AFTER COUNCIL WHERE -- CONTINUED TO BE UPDATED. SO BOTTOM LINE IS WITH THIS IS THAT THIS IS A STATION. IT IS GOING TO BE CAN FORTHCOMING. WE APPRECIATE THE SUPPORT ON ALL OF THIS. BUT THE TIMELINE OF TWO AND A HALF YEARS FROM THE END OF NOVEMBER OF 2023 TO SEPTEMBER -- ACTUALLY THREE YEARS TO SETTLEMENT OF 2026 FOR A GROUNDBREAKING TO ME IS UNACCEPTABLE AND THAT'S WHY WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE TIMELINE. COUNCIL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE TIME. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS BEFORE I RECOGNIZE CHIEF TRIPP. WOULD YOU LIKE TO SAY ANYTHING BEFORE I RECOGNIZE NICK STOCCO. >>CHIEF TRIPP: NO, UNLESS YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME. >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, CHIEF TRIPP. WE HAD LONG DISCUSSION WITH THIS. AND I KNOW AS WELL AS WITH THE UNION. AND WE WILL GET THERE. THANK YOU, MA'AM. THANK YOU SO MUCH. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: PRESIDENT OF THE TAMPA FIRE UNION, NICK STOCCO, ARE RECOGNIZED. YES, SIR. STATE YOUR NAME. >> GOOD AFTERNOON, NICK STOCCO, PRESIDENT OF THE TAMPA FIRE FIGHTERS. CHAIRMAN, CITY STAFF, CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS AND THE PUBLIC, THANK YOU. I THINK COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA DID A VERY GOOD JOB OF HIGHLIGHTING HOW YOU IT GOT HERE. AND I THINK THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT. NOT TO DISCREDIT THE PRESENTATION FROM THE PROJECT MANAGER OR DISCREDIT ANY OF THE INFORMATION THEY SAID, I THINK WE REALLY NEED TO FOCUS WHAT GOT US HERE TODAY. LOOKING AT NOVEMBER OF 2022 OR APRIL OF 2022, HOW IS IT NOW JUNE OF 2025, AND WE ARE RECEIVING WHAT WE SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED IN 2023 FOLLOWING THE 2022 LAND SELECTION. DO HAVE SOME DOCUMENTS, BUT COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA DID A VERY GOOD JOB OF HIGHLIGHTING THE TIMELINE HOW YOU IT GOT HERE, SO I WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS FROM US. HOWEVER, I THINK THAT COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA REALLY DID HIGHLIGHT ALL OF OUR TALKING POINTS WE WERE GOING TO SAY TODAY. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCIL, ANY QUESTIONS? >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: JUST A STATEMENT. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: COULD YOU HAVE BUILT A FOOTBALL STADIUM IN THAT TIME. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: LOOKING FOR A FOOTBALL STADIUM. I HAVE A QUESTION. IS THE UNION INVOLVED AT ALL IN THE DESIGN PHASE OF THIS -- THESE STATIONS ARE YOU PART OF THE -- ARE YOU A PARTICIPANT IN THIS PROCESS? >> NO. AND. THIS OUR NEGOTIATIONS IN OCTOBER OF 2022, WE RATIFIED A CONTRACT THAT ANY TIME A FIRE STATION WILL GO THROUGH MAJOR RENOVATIONS OR THAT NEW FIRE STATIONS WERE TO DEB SIGNED OR CONSTRUCTED THERE WOULD BE A STATION DESIGN COMMITTEE. DOES NOT EXPLICITLY SAY THAT THE UNION WILL HAVE A SEAT AT THE TABLE; HOWEVER, THERE WERE SOME INDIVIDUALS THAT WERE AT THAT TABLE FROM WHEN THE SELECTION PROCESS WAS MADE LATE IN AUGUST OF 2024. SO UNFORTUNATELY, WE DID NOT CONCRETE OUR LANGUAGE IN 2022 THROUGH COLLECTIVE BARGAINING. WE HAD ONLY MADE IT A POINT THAT A STATION DESIGN COMMITTEE WOULD BE ESTABLISHED AT ANY TIME THAT MAJOR RENOVATIONS OF FIRE STATIONS OR ADDITIONAL FIRE STATIONS WOULD BE BUILT. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: APPRECIATE THAT CLARIFICATION. COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK. >>LYNN HURTAK: I HAVE A CLARIFICATION FOR CHIEF TRIPP. THANK YOU, MR. STOCCO. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: GET YOUR EXERCISE THIS MORNING. I WANT TO ASK YOU A QUESTION SO DON'T GO FAR. >>LYNN HURTAK: DON'T GO FAR. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: STAY LOCAL. >>LYNN HURTAK: AS FAR AS THE BUDGET GOES, I KNOW I HAVE SEEN SOME THINGS. I AM CURIOUS WHAT IS WILL GO IN THIS FIRE STATION. DO WE ALREADY HAVE THE APPARATUS WE NEED FOR THIS STATION? >>CHIEF TRIPP: YES, WE TO. >>LYNN HURTAK: THAT SHOULD NOT BE PART OF THE BUDGET. >>CHIEF TRIPP: THAT'S CORRECT. WITH ADDITIONAL FUNDING TO REPLACE. I STRATEGICALLY PICKED UP THIS IS COMING, THERE IS COMING LIKE ADDITIONAL RESCUE CARS. I KIND OF ORDER IT AHEAD OF TIME KNOWING THAT IT WAS COMING. 'THE WAS AN OLDER VEHICLE SO I ORDERED A NEW VEHICLE FOR 24. >>LYNN HURTAK: WE CAN CERTAINLY PUT THAT OFF OF -- I WANTED TO DOUBLE CHECK BUT I WANTED TO MAKE SURE IT WAS ON THE RECORD. >>CHIEF TRIPP: YES, MA'AM. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: NICK, CAN YOU STAND UP. WILL STOCCO, PRESIDENT STOCCO. >>BILL CARLSON: TO ARE MINDS THE PUBLIC. WE IDENTIFIED THIS AS THE URGENT NEED YEARS AGO. I SUPPORTED COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA AND OTHERS WHO PUSHED FOR THIS EVEN THOUGH IT IS NOT IN MY DISTRICT BECAUSE THE BIGGEST NEED IN THE CITY AND HOPING THAT THIS WOULD GO QUICKLY AND BY NOW WE WILL HAVE STATIONS AND OTHER EQUIPMENT WORKING IN OTHER AREAS. CAN YOU FOR THE PUBLIC'S SAKE TELL US IN YOUR ANALYSIS, IN THE UNION'S ANALYSIS, HOW MANY MORE STATIONS WE NEED AND WHAT THE -- WHAT THE OVERALL NEED IS FOR FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT, LIKE -- NOT THE LONG, LONG LIST BUT JUST IN GENERAL? >> SURE, WE ARE ACTIVELY WORKING ON A NEW GIS STUDY THAT WILL HOPEFULLY BE ABLE TO ALIGN WITH ALL THE ADDITIONAL GROWTH THAT HAPPENED WITHIN THE LAST COUPLE YEARS. THE LAST STUDY WE DID IN 2022 THROUGH THE GIS STUDY CALLED FOR THREE IMMEDIATE STATIONS. IT WAS ONE IN CHANNELSIDE. AND IF I AM NOT MISTAKEN TWO IN THE NORTH TAMPA AREA. ONE BECAUSE THE LONG RESPONSE TIMES IN THE K-BAR RANCH AREA AND ONE IN THE MORE CENTRAL SULPHUR SPRINGS, FOREST HILL AREA BECAUSE OF THE CALL VOLUME. IMMEDIATE CALL IN 2022 FOR THREE ADDITIONAL STATIONS. AND THERE WAS ADDITIONAL 17 THAT WERE CALLED FOR IN 2022. UNDERSTANDING THAT WE HAVE MORE OF A DENSITY ISSUE HERE IN THE URBAN CORE THAN AGREE GRAPHICAL ISSUE FOR DES TANSES. M -- DISTANCES BECAUSE OF TIME FRAMES FOR THE DENSITY WHY THE 17 WERE CALLED FOR. INCLUDING SOUTH TAMPA FOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS FOR FIRE STATIONS DUE TO THE GROWTH AND SOUTH TAMPA. >>BILL CARLSON: OKAY, THANK YOU. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: TRANSITIONED OFF OF 97. ANYTHING FURTHER ON FIRE STATION 24? BECAUSE THIS KIND OF TRANSITIONED INTO 96. >>LUIS VIERA: IF I MAY. THANK YOU VERY, SIR. WHAT I WOULD SAY IN CLOSING WITH THIS, WE WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE THE REPORTS ON THEREIN. AND I WILL CONTINUE TO MEET WITH -- WITH OUR PROJECT MANAGER, KEN, CHIEF TRIPP AND WITH MR. MUTTERBACK WITH DIFFERENT FOLKS ON THAT. AGAIN SEPTEMBER OF 2026 APPEARS TO BE THE NEW MARK. I AM EXTREMELY NOT HAPPY ABOUT THAT AT ALL, BUT IF WE CAN CONDITION TO SHAVE TIME. WE HAVE. AND WE WILL HAVE TO GO FORWARD WITH THAT. KNOW THAT A LOT OF FOLKS FROM THE UNIONS TO THE CHIEF AND THE OTHERS ARE FRUSTRATED WITH THAT. AND WE WILL HAVE TO DO WHAT WE HAVE TO DO AND CONTINUE TO WORK TO SHAVE TIME OFF OF THAT. WE WERE FRUSTRATED MARCH '26. IMAGINE THE FRUSTRATION WITH SEPTEMBER OF '26. AS WE DO MONTHLY REPORTS, WE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK ON THAT. THANK YOU. CLENDENIN CONTACT LENSES WITHOUT OBJECTION, GO BACK TO 96, THE MASTER PLAN. TRIPP GOOD AFTERNOON, COUNCIL. CHIEF TRIPP, AND I HAVE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF JENKINS FOR ASSISTANCE. MORE OF AN INTERNAL MASTER PLAN, BASICALLY BASED ON THE NEED ANALYSIS DON'T IN 2021 AND 2022. PROGRESS REPORT, UPDATE OR WHATEVER. BASED ON THAT NEED ANALYSIS. I COME UP YOU WITH DATA AND RECOMMENDATION OF WHAT THE RECOMMENDATIONS WERE, WHAT WE HAVE DONE, AND WHERE WE SHOULD BE HEADED TO IN THE FUTURE. OF COURSE SOME OF THE INFORMATION IN HERE IS GOING TO DEAL WITH THE STUDY FROM FITCH AND ASSOCIATES. GOAL TO MAINTAIN FIRE RESCUE. IT IS A PROGRESS SIEVE WITH PROFESSIONAL AND COMPREHENSIVE TENT. THE GOAL IS TO IMPLEMENT ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY WHILE SERVING THE COMMUNITY AND BASICALLY WE WANT TO DO IT IN EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT WAY. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I WILL SUGGEST GO TO THE SLIDE FOR EXPEDIENCY. >>CHIEF TRIPP: WHAT PAGE DO YOU WANT TO GO TO. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THE MEAT. >>CHIEF TRIPP: SOME HISTORY BACK IN 2020, I GOT SWORN IN. TAMPA FEE RESCUE WERE FACED A LOT OF CHALLENGES, COVID, SUPER BOWL, ACCREDITATION AND THE CALL VOLUME THAT WAS UP IN NORTH TAMPA AREA STATION 13. SO A CONSULTANT WAS HIRED FOR A ANALYSIS WHICH IS FITCH AND ASSOCIATES. BASED ON THE RESULTS, THEY GAVE US SOME FEEDBACK SAYING THAT TAMPA FIRE RESCUE WAS AN APARTMENT ONE OF 300 AGENCIES THROUGH THE CENTER OF PUBLIC SAFETY AND EXCELLENCE OUT OF 30,000 AGENCIES. WELL THE DEPARTMENT IN THE TOP 10% WITH AN ISO. AND WE HAVE SOME RECOMMENDATION THAT WAS LISTED HERE. THROUGHOUT THIS PRESENTATION, I AM GOING TO IDENTIFY SOME OF THE POSITIVE RESULTS THAT HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTED WITH THE NEW DEPARTMENT AS WELL AS WITH THE COMMUNITY. NOW YOU SEE SOME OF THE DATA POINTS. IT IS ARE REFERENCE AS FAR AS RECOMMENDATIONS, HIGHLIGHTED RECOMMENDATIONS ARE REFERENCES AND STEPS THAT ARE COMPLETED OR ACTUALLY IN PROGRESS. ONE OF THE MAIN THINGS WAS TALKING OF RESPONSE TIME WHICH IS PERFORMANCE TIME WHICH WAS A MAJOR CONCERN AND THE EXCESSIVE WORKLOAD. ADMINISTRATION MADE CHANGES TO ITS POLICIES AND PROCEDURES AND HELP WITH THIS RESPONSE TIME. WE ALSO HAD INCREASED PERSONNEL AND DEHE IS CREASED OUR VAGRANCY RATE. AS WELL AS IMPLEMENTING THE NEW C.A.D. SYSTEM. HIGHLIGHT TO SHOW THAT ONCE THIS ADMINISTRATION CAME INTO PLAY, OUR VACANCY RATE WAS HIGH. CURRENTLY DOWN 34.86 AND ONE OF THE LOWEST ONES WITHIN THE CITY OF TAMPA SHOWS IN ' 1 HIRED 15 FIRE FIGHTERS. '24, 38. SO FAR THIS YEAR WE HIRED 15 THAT WILL BE GRADUATING TOMORROW TO BE PART OF TAMPA FIRE RESCUE. HERE ARE SOME ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS FROM FITCH AND ASSOCIATES. AND, OF COURSE, TALKS OF THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPAND THE DEPARTMENTAL COVERAGE. TFR HAS ORDERED ADDITIONAL RESOURCES LIKE AREA LADDER AND PLAN TO STRATEGICALLY IMPLEMENT THEM IN THE AREAS WHERE IT IS NEEDED. WE ARE GOING TO TALK OF THE REDUCTION OF UNITS BEING DEPLOYED. THAT IS GOING TO TAKE FOR POLICY CHANGES AS WELL AS THE IMPOLLEN POLLEN NATION OF THE NEW CAD SYSTEM. OF THE FUTURE GOALS INCLUDING EQUIPMENT A, AND, OF COURSE, FIRE STATION WITHIN THE LAST FOUR YEARS. NUMBER 25 THAT WE HAVE TWO TRANSPORT UNITS COMING OUT OF THERE. WE WAIT FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF 24, THIS ADMINISTRATION ADDED A NEW ENGINE RUNNING OUT OF STATION 13 TO ASSIST WITH THE CAL VOLUME. ON TOP OF THAT, THE EQUIPMENT FROM THE LAST FOUR YEARS. WE HAVE ADDED FOUR ADDITIONAL TRANSPORT UNITS BASED ON RECOMMENDATIONS AND LOOKING FORWARD TO ADDING ANOTHER ONE BEFORE THE END OF THIS QUARTER AS WELL AS HOPEFULLY GET APPROVED FOR ADDITION OF PERSONNEL TO ADD ANOTHER TRANSPORT BY THE END OF THE YEAR. NEW RESCUE THAT WAS ADDED IN NEW TAMPA. JUST WANTED TO SHOW YOU SOME NUMBERS BASED ON THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, AS WELL AS THE CALL VOLUME IN EACH ONE OF Y'ALL'S DISTRICT. IF YOU EVER WANTED TO VIS THE GRID THAT BASICALLY TAMPA FEE RESCUE IS BROKEN UP IN FIVE DIFFERENT DISTRICTS AND BASICALLY THIS IS HOW RERESPOND TO OUR CALLS. IF I TALK OF THE HISTORICAL HISTORY THAT WAS ONE OF THE CHAL COLLEGES BACK IN '21-'22. RECOMMENDATIONS THAT CAME FROM THE NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION AGENCY WHICH IS FNPA AS WELL AS THE CFAI, THE COMMISSION ON FIRE ACCRED IGS AND THE TAMPA FIRE RESCUE. THIS IS THEIR FOURTH ACCREDITATION AND COMING UP WITH REAL ACCREDITATION WITHIN THEIR FUTURE. PART OF THAT IS OUR DISPATCH, TURNOUT TIME, TRAVEL TIME, WHICH WILL GIVE YOU THE RESPONSE TIME. IF THIS BATCH TALKS OF THE TIME THAT THE CALL COMES IN, TURNOUT TIME. THE TIME IT TAKES FOR THE PERSONNEL TO GO -- TO GET OUT TO THE VEHICLES AND RESPOND TO THE CALLS THAT GIVE YOU YOUR TOTAL TIME, BUT, OF COURSE, YOUR TRAVEL TIME. A LOT GOES INTO PLAY WITH THAT WHEN YOU TALK OF TRAFFIC. WITH THIS NEW C.A.D. SYSTEM AND POLICY CHANGES GREAT IMPROVEMENT WITH THE TOTAL RESPONSE TIME WITH DISPATCHING AND TURNOUT TIMES. TRAVEL TIMES ARE A WORK IN PROGRESS WITH THE TRAFFIC AND GROWTH OF CITY AND HOPING TO IMPLEMENT A PREEXEMPTION TO HELP EMERGENCY VEHICLES TO GO THROUGH THE TRAFFIC SIGNALS. UP WANT TO TALK A LITTLE BIT OF THE THE RESPONSE TIME. AN AVERAGE OVERVIEW OF THE RESPONSE TIME FROM THE TIME THE CALL RECEIVED AND PERSONNEL ARRIVING ON SCENE BROKEN DOWN BY THE YEARS. OF COURSE WE CAN BREAK IT DOWN WITH THE DIFFERENT SHIFTS. AND REPRESENTS NINE MINUTES OR LESS. YELLOW REPRESENTS NINE TO 11 MINUTES AND RED GREATER THAN 11 MINUTES. WITH THAT BEING SAID, A LOT OF DIFFERENT FACTORS THAT PLAY INTO THAT. BASE AND MY CHART, I WAS ONLY ABLE TO GET TWO YEARS IN HERE SO YOU WILL BE ABLE TO READ IT, BUT IF YOU SEE, IT IS THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2025 IS BROKEN DOWN BY THE SHIFTS AND UNITS. CALL RECEIVED TO FIRST DISPATCH. YOU CAN SEE AT THE BOTTOM SHOWING RED, WHICH IS WHERE THIS NEW C.A.D. SYSTEM WILL DEFINITELY HELP TO GET THESE CALLS OUT. IF YOU LOOK AT THOSE NUMBERS, ANYWHERE BETWEEN TWO TO THREE MINUTES. THAT HAS AN EFFECT ON OUR TOTAL RESPONSE TIME. THIS IS DEFINITELY AN AREA IMPROVING WITH THE CHANGES THAT WE HAVE AND WILL INCLUDE POLICY CHANGES. IT WILL HELP DECREASE EXCESS SELF UNITS BEING DISPATCHED. ONE OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WE DISPATCH TOO MANY UNITS TO A CALL -- TOO MANY UNNECESSARY UNITS TO A CALL. BASICALLY ALL OF THAT WILL ASSIST WITH THE RESPONSE TIME ONCE THIS C.A.D. IS IMPLEMENTED. SO THIS IS FOR '22. A COUPLE AS THE YEARS GO ON. I WANT TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA HOW WE ARE AGE ABLE TO BREAK DOWN SOME OF THE NUMBERS. THE RESCUE TRANSPORT UNIT BROKEN DOWN OVER FOUR QUARTER AND THE TOTAL OF HOURS ALONG WITH THE INCIDENTS. BASICALLY WHAT THIS IS SHOWING THE UNIT HOUR OUTIZATION AND THE AVERAGE HOURS A DAY WITHIN A 24 HOME RUN HOURS A DAY. IF GREEN SHOWS 30% ON THEIR SHIFT. YELLOW, 40%. AND RED SHOWS 50%. RIGHT NOW THIS IS '22 BEFORE WE ADDED SOME ADDITIONAL UNITS. WE ADDED TWO TRANSPORT UNITS THAT WERE STATION 25. WE ALSO ADDED RESCUE 19 DOWN IN SOUTH TAMPA IN '23. OF COURSE, YOU ARE GOING TO SEE THE GREEN IS GOING TO INCREASE WITH THAT. WE ARE LOOKING TO ADD STATION -- RESCUE 12 AND ADDED RESCUE 6 AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR TO HELP WITH DOWNTOWN TAMPA. STAPLE CHART AND BASICALLY ANOTHER YEAR, BUT AS YOU CAN SEE WITH THE IMPLEMENT THAT THISSED AH HAS IMPLEMENTED FROM THE RECOMMENDATIONS, YOU CAN SEE THAT THE NUMBERS ARE GETTING BETTER AND BETTER. THIS IS, OF COURSE -- THIS IS YEAR '24. AS YOU CAN SEE THE GREEN IS SHOWING DIFFERENT AREAS THAT WE ARE LOOKING INTO. AND, OF COURSE, ONCE WE ADD THESE TRANSPORT UNITS, WE ARE HOPING THAT WHOLE SHEET WILL BE GREEN. THE NEXT SHEET JUST TALKS OF THE ENGINES. THE TRANSFER -- NONTRANSPORT UNITS AND GIVE YOU AN IDEA IF THEY ARE HAVING UTILIZATION THIS MONTH. THE REASON I PUT THIS IN HERE IS BASICALLY TO SHOW YOU WHEN THE CALL VOLUME TAKES PLACE. OF COURSE WE TALK OF PEAK HOURS. JUST USE STATION 13 AS AN EXAMPLE. OF COURSE, IT HAS THE NUMBER OF CALLS THROUGHOUT THE DAY. THIS IS FOR '21, '22, '23, AND '24. BASICALLY SHOW -- I AM SORRY, YES, ENGINE 24 AND I THINK AGAIN 13. PEAK HOURS GO INTO EFFECT AROUND 9:30 AND 10:00 UP UNTIL 8:00 AT NIGHT, GIVE OR TAKE. THIS IS ALL THE RESCUE CARS. AND BASICALLY FOR THOSE YEARS. JUST WANTED TO SEE IF YOU -- ALL THESE CHARTS BASICALLY HAVE THAT SAME PEAK HOURS WHEN THE CALL VOLUME STARTS INCREASING. AND THIS LAST ONE IS ALL THE ENGINES OVER 24-HOUR PERIOD. IF YOU NOTICE, YOU STILL HAVE THAT HAMP DURING THE SAME TIME PRETTY MUCH FROM 10 TO 8. SO JUST TO CONCLUDE, FOCUS ON THE CITY OF TAMPA OF THE COMMUNITY. ONE OF THE OLDEST CAREER DEPARTMENT WITH A RICH HISTORY AS WELL AS TRADITION. FUTURE OF TAMPA FIRE RESCUE TO YOU CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THE PUBLIC SAFETY INITIATIVE. TAMPA FIRE RESCUE ADMINISTRATION WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE TAMPA FIRE RESCUE A SAFE, RESPECTFUL, WELCOMING PLACE FOR ALL EMPLOYEES. WE KNOW THE CITY OF TAMPA IS GROWING AND ONCE AGAIN, TFR ADMINISTRATION IS GOING TO CONTINUE AND MONITOR AND SHIFT PRIORITIES WITH DIFFERENT PROGRAMS AND GOALS IN MINE. THE SAFETY AND PRIORITY FOR INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL AND ON GOING PROJECTS THAT WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF DOING NOW. AS WE TALK OF THE MASTER PLAN, THESE ARE SOME OF THE KEYS OBJECTS AND STRATEGIC STRATEGIES THAT WE ARE LOOKING TO IMPLEMENT THAT IS TO IMPLEMENT -- FIVE PARTICULAR AREAS THAT WE WILL TALK OF MENTAL HEALTH TRAINING, DATA DRIVEN STRATEGIES AND BASICALLY TO ASSIST WITH THE GROWTH AND THE COMMUNITY NEEDS. I WILL JUST RUN THROUGH THESE REAL QUICK. SO WE TALK ABOUT OF THE OBJECTIVES WAS THE HEALTH AND WELLNESS. OF COURSE, WE ARE LOOKING TO CONTINUE THE PARTNERSHIP, YOU KNOW, I BELIEVE TERM STATEWIDE AND INDIVIDUALS ARE GETTING THEIR EXTRA SET OF BUCKET GEAR. WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF IMPLEMENTING GEAR CLEANING SITES WITHIN EACH DISTRICT. BUT THEY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET THERE -- THE GEAR WASH NEEDED THROUGH OUR SUPPLY. WE CONTINUE TO MONITOR AND SEE EVALUATE THE MECHANICS AND PROVIDE SUPPORT AND RESOURCES AS NEEDED FOR ANY TYPE OF MENTAL HEALTH THROUGHOUT OUR EIP PROGRAM AND CSID STEAM. OF COURSE, WHEN WE TALK OF MODERNIZATION. A LOT OF VEHICLES NOW ARE COMING IN -- ARE -- THEY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PRECONDEMN WITH -- WITH DECONTAMINATION OPTIONS. TAMPA FIRE RESCUE CONTINUES TO SUPPORT THE TRAINING AND EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR ADVANCEMENT IN GROWTH. OF COURSE, WE ARE TRYING TO GROW OUR LEADERS AND DOING IT INTERNALLY AND EXTERNALLY THROUGH DIFFERENT CONFERENCES, WITH THE U.S. FIRE ADMINISTRATION AS WELL AS THE STATE OF FLORIDA SO WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF DEVELOPING A SUCCESSION PLAN. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, ONE OF THE OTHER OBJECTIVES IS INCREASING COMMUNITY RESILIENCE. WE ARE IN HIGH TARGET AREAS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY INCLUDING THE FIRES. OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS, MULTIPLE PUBLIC OUTREACH WITHIN THE COMMUNITY AND THE LOCAL PARTNERS. INSTALLED SMOKE DETECT TERES, INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL CAMPAIGNS. THE CITY OF TAMPA IS NOW GETTING READY TO CAMPAIGN WITH THE WATER DEPARTMENT AS FAR AS DISPERSING QUARTERLY MAILERSS EDUCATING WITH FIRE PREVENTION WEEK, SWIMMING CHALLENGES. WE HAVE HEALTH AND SAFETY EVENTS. OF COURSE MARCH 107 -- I'M SORE REAR, MAY 10, CELEBRATE 120 YEARS AND THE CITY OF TAMPA HAS BEEN AROUND WHICH IS AN EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY FOR THE COMMUNITY COME OUT. AND WE EDUCATE THE COMMUNITY ON HANDS-ONLY CPR, A CENTER PROGRAM, THE COMMUNITY RESPONSE PROGRAM WHICH HAS OPINION SUCCESSFUL. AND TO DATE, WE HAVE OVER 220 COMMUNITY PARTNERS THAT ARE READY TO HELP US ON THE NATURAL DISASTERS THAT WE HAD. ONE OF THE OTHER OBJECTIVES MOVING FORWARD AS FAR AS A MASTER PLAN FOR THE CITY, TAMPA FIRE RESCUE IS, OF COURSE, THIS C.A.D. SYSTEM. THIS C.A.D. SYSTEM WILL AN KEY COMPONENT TO MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE GOING TO GET THE DOLLARS WE NEED TO STRATEGICALLY LOCATE ADDITION ADDITIONAL STATIONS OR PERSONNEL WITHIN COMMUNITY. CURRENTLY OUR SYSTEM IS OUTDATED. HAS BEEN OUTDATED FOR MANY YEARS. WHEN I WAS STILL OUT ON THE STREET. BUT THIS ADMINISTRATION A WORKING HARD WIN TERM STAKEHOLDERS TO GO THEM IMPLEMENTED AND HOPING TO HAVE IT BY THE FALL OF NEXT YEAR. WITH THAT, HELP US IDENTIFY AND I DID PATCH A UNIT FOR QUICKER RESPONSE AND CLASSIFY THE CALLS WITH THE TYPE AND AND LOCATIONS TO PROCEED BETTER SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY. STRAP TJIC FOR THE GROWTH OF THE CITY. STATION REMODELING. AND WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF BUILDING STATION 24. WITH THAT, WE ARE LOOKING FOR FACILITY TO -- FOR THE REPAIRS OF FLEET FACILITY TO REPAIRS OF VEHICLES AS WELL AS STORAGE. WE STARTED A VEHICLE REPLACEMENT TO MAKE SURE WE CONTINUE TO KEEP UP WITH OUR VEHICLES. I WANT TO SAY KEEP UP WITH OUR VEHICLES TO MAKE SURE WE DON'T HAVE THE OLD OUTDATED VEHICLES. AND WITH THAT, WE ARE WORKING TO WORK WITH THE DIFFERENT VENDORS TO GET THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLES TO GET MORE BANG FOR OUR BUCK. ALL RIGHT. ONCE AGAIN, TAMPA FIRE RESCUE OUTSTANDING ALL HAZARD AGENCY WITH OUTSTANDING MOTIVATED AND PROFESSIONAL EMPLOYEES. TAMPA FIRE RESCUE ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION AND HAS IMPLEMENTED THEM WHILE OTHERS ARE STILL IN PROGRESS. OUR UTILIZATION HAS AND HAS STILL BEEN ADDRESSED AND THE DATA SHOW AGING FRONT-LINE APPARATUS HAS BEEN ADDRESSED AND BEING MONITORED. TECHNOLOGY IS A WORK IN PROCESS AND WE ARE -- WE ARE NOT BEING RESOLVED IN 24 HOURS. I CAN ATTEST TO THE LAST FOUR YEAR. TAMPA FIRE RESCUE HAVE YOU MADE GREAT STRIDES TO OVERCOME CHALLENGES WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF CITY OF OFFICIALS, LEADERS AND MORE IMPORTANTLY THE COMMUNITY THAT WE SERVE. TAMPA FEAR RESC-- FIRE RESCUE I BACK ON THE MAP. BASED ON YOUR RECOMMENDATION, COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA, AS ITS TECHNOLOGY. >> POLICEMEN AND COM-- IMPLEMEN AND A MASTER PLAN. AND I WANT TO THANK THE 800-PLUS MEMBERS OF TAMPA FIRE RESCUE, THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY FOR THEIR UNWAVERING SUPPORT OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS. YESTERDAY, I CELEBRATED MIND FOUR YEARS AS BEING SWORN IN AS THE FIRST FEMALE FIRE CHIEF. STATED THAT I WOULD WORK AGUILAR HARPED AS THEY WERE AND SERVE AND PROTECT OUR COMMUNITY. I PRAY I HAVE PROVEN THAT COMMITMENT BY MY ACTIONS AND WALKING THE WALK AND NOT JUST THE TALK. THANK YOU. AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I WILL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU, COUNCIL. FIRST CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR FOURTH ANNIVERSARY. TRIPP THANK YOU. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: IT HAS OPINION AN EASY RIDE, HAVEN'T IT. >>CHIEF TRIPP: JUST A DELIGHT. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: JUST A DELIGHT. >>LUIS VIERA: YOU WERE KIND ENOUGH TO MENTION THAT I WOULD MAKE A MOTION ON THIS. LONG STORY SHORT, COUNCIL, WE DEALT -- THE ADMINISTRATION CREATED THE PUBLIC SAFETY MASTER PLAN OR DID IT, I GUESS YOU WILL, UNDER THE FITCH REPORT, I BELIEVE, CHIEF THERE ARE 2022, IF I RECALL. AND I -- I THINK IT IS GOOD TO HAVE AN AMENDED ONE. YOU AND I TALKED ABOUT THIS. AND YOU EARNED THE CAPED THAT THE KR C.A.D. WILL CHANGE THE NUMBERS AND THAT WILL BE A YEAR AND A HALF TO TWO YEARS. AND I THINK IT IS SMART TO RECEIVE WHERE WE ARE AT RIGHT NOW, INCLUDING THE AGE OF STATIONS AND THINGS LIKE AT THIS POINT. THE C.A.D. WILL CHANGE THINGS WILL TAKE SOME TIME. I DON'T KNOW WHAT COUNCIL THINKS, I WOULD HATE TO WAIT ANOTHER TWO AND A HALF YEARS FOR ANOTHER ANALYSIS. MY OPINION, CHIEF. WHAT I WILL DO, COUNCIL, WITH Y'ALL'S SUPPORT IS TO DO A MOTION TO HAVE A WRITTEN REPORT COME BACK IN MARCH OR OCTOBER OF '25 ON -- '25. THIS YEAR ON THE -- ON THE VISIBLE OF DOING AN UPDATED PUBLIC SAFETY MASTER PLAN THROUGH YOU GUYS' PERSPECTIVE. AND I WILL PUT THE VERBIAGE IN THE MOTION AND ALL THAT KIND OF GOOD STUFF. I APPRECIATE YOU GOING THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF FLORIDA IN TERMS OF THE NEEDS AND EVERYTHING. THE WAY YOU TALKED ABOUT SOME OF -- AND UNION TALKED KEY AREAS DOWNTOWN TAMPA I THINK IT IS A CRITICAL AREA. WE TALK OF NEW TAMPA IF I MAY ASK YOU, HOW -- HOW ARE THINGS GOING WITH THE MORRIS BRIDGE CUT-THRU? IF YOU -- IF YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT? DO YOU NEED -- >>CHIEF TRIPP: I HAVE NOT -- LAST I SPOKE TO -- BEFORE VIK RETIRED. BRANDON -- I WILL REACH OUT TO BRANDON -- CLEAN CLENDENIN I THINK WE CAN TAKE THAT UP. >> BRANDON CAMPBELL: I CAN SPEAK TO IT QUICKLY. YOU MADE A MOTION AND WE HAD A STAFF REPORT. CAN'T REMEMBER WHICH AGENDA ITEM IT IS ON. BECAUSE OF THE BASSET CREEK CROSSING. NOT REALLY AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO INSTALL A TEMPORARY EXTENSION OUT TO -- TO MORRIS BRIDGE ROAD, BUT THERE IS PROGRESS ON THE PERMANENT SOLUTION. SO -- >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU. I AM GLAD -- SERENDIPITOUS. IF I MAY, SIR -- STIR, IF I MAY, ROUGHLY HOW LONG DO YOU THINK THAT WILL TAKE FOR THE PERMANENT SOLUTIONS. >> BRANDON CAMPBELL: THE DETAILS ARE IN THAT STAFF REPORT, I WILL GIVE YOU A BETTER NUMBER THAN I HAVE FLOATING IN MY HEAD. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THE BRIDGE OVER WETLANDS. >> BRANDON CAMPBELL: YES. >>LUIS VIERA: CHIEF, HE REQUEST QUESTION FOR YOU. YOU HAULS A -- GUESS, IF YOU WILL, AMBITIOUS VISION ON FIRE STATIONS. WE TALKED ABOUT THAT BEFORE -- BY THE WAY, CONGRATULATIONS FOR FOUR YEARS. TIME GOES BY FAST. >>CHIEF TRIPP: FOR YOU. >>LUIS VIERA: MAYBE KNOT THERE. >>CHIEF TRIPP: IT HAS. IT HAS. >>LUIS VIERA: TIME HAS GONE BY FAST. IN YOUR OPINION AS THE TAMPA FIRE RESCUE CHIEF, HOW MANY STATIONS DO YOU THINK WE NEED ADDITIONALLY THROUGHOUT THE CITY OF TAMPA? YOU KNOW, THIS WILL BE A BIG ISSUE OF DISCUSSION FOR -- I AM NOT GOING TO BE HERE -- BEFORE THE NEXT ADMINISTRATION AND TALKING AND EVERYTHING. JUST IN YOUR OPINION ARIZONA PROFESSIONAL, IF YOU CAN OPINE, HOW MANY HIS OR HER STATIONS AND WHERE YOU THINK WE NEED SOME. OBVIOUSLY TALKING OF NORTH TAMPA. MAKING COMPROMISE ON NEW TAMPA. WHAT OTHER AREAS? >>CHIEF TRIPP: DISCUSS HOW MANY STATIONS WE NEED. FIRST THING WE NEED TO TAKE THE 06, 70-YEAR-OLD STATIONS THAT WE HAVE AND REBUILD THEM FOR MULTIPLE REASONS. YOU THINK ABOUT FIRE DEPARTMENT. EMS WAS NOT INVOLVED. NOW WE ARE GOING TO MEDICAL CALLS. WE PUNT MORE RESOURCES IN THESE SMALL STATION SO AS IT II IS COMPACT. WHEN WHEN I GO TO TRY TO REMODEL THESE STATIONS, IT IS VERY HARD. ONE OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS I TRY TO GET IS THE PORTABLE FIRE STATION TO TAKE IT, BRING IT IN, TEAR THE STATION DOWN, REBUILD IT, AND TAKE THAT PORTABLE FIRE STATION AND MOVE IT TO THE NEXT ONE. IF WE DO ONE A YEAR -- I THINK CURRENTLY OUR STATIONS ARE STRAW STRATEGICALLY LOCATED. PLAYING LIBRARY SHUFFLEBOARD. MOVING HERE DURING THIS TIME PERIOD. WITH THAT JUST LIKE I SHOWED YOU DATA OF -- AND WHEN I SAY "DATA" I AM TALKING OF TOO DATA THAT THESE INDIVIDUALS ARE GOING TO THESE CALLS. WHERE OUR MEMBERS ARE AND WHAT IS NEEDED. IF I PUT A FIRE STATION HERE, WHAT RESOURCES ARE AM I GOING TO PUT IN THERE. NEED TRANSPORT UNITS OR A FIRE ENGINE. DO NEED AN AERIAL TRUCK. WITH MY HIGH-RISES. THAT NEEDS TO BE ASSESSED, YOU KNOW. I AM NOT SAYING WE DON'T NEED FIRE STATIONS. I AM SAYING WE NEED TO TAKE WHAT WE HAVE NOW AND ADD THOSE RESOURCES AND THEN JUST MODERN THE CALLS NOW. SINCE WE PUT THESE ADDITIONAL TRANSPORT UNITS -- WHEN I SAY THE CALL VOLUME HAS DECREASED PER UNIT. WE STILL HAVE CALLS WITHIN THE CITY BECAUSE WE RAN 92,000 LAST YEAR. STILL HAVE THE CALLS. THEY ARE INCREASING BUT ALSO WITH THAT TALK OF THE RESPONSE TIME, HOW QUICK WE GET THERE, THE RESOURCES. ATHINGS -- A LOT OF THINGS WE NEED TO LOOK AT IF THE WE NEED A STATION OR DON'T NEED A FIRE STATION. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCIL MEMBER MANISCALCO AND THEN HURTAK. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I AM GOOD. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I SAW YOU FIRST. COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK. >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR PRESENTATION. IF YOU COULD JUST A QUICK LITTLE UPDATE ON C.A.D. HOW ARE WE DOING? >>CHIEF TRIPP: DOING GREAT WITH C.A.D. THEY GIVE YOU 15 TO 18 MONTHS. WE ARE ON TRACK AND LITTLE BIT AHEAD. I AM HOPEING AND PRAYING THAT WE WILL USE IT THE FALL OF NEXT YEAR IF NOT SOONER. THAT WILL BE OUR 18 MONTH. WE ARE ON SCHEDULE AND GETTING READY TO START DOING SOME TESTING. AND THEY ARE MOVING AHEAD WITH IT. >>LYNN HURTAK: BECAUSE WE HAD HEARD THAT YOU WERE ABLE TO -- THAT CERTAIN THINGS WOULD BE ABLE TO COME MRIONLINE AS THE SYSTEM WENT THROUGH. ANYTHING COME ONLINE YET? >>CHIEF TRIPP: NOT YET. IF YOU WANT TO CALL IT THE DESIGN PHASE. GETTING DATA WITH THE GIS. THEY ARE GETTING STUFF ROLLING. >>LYNN HURTAK: GREAT. ONE MORE QUESTION. AND IT JUST JOGGED MY MEMORY. THIS IS COMPLETELY LEFT FIELD AND I WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT BECAUSE IT RELATES TO SOMETHING WE WERE TALKING ABOUT EARLIER TODAY. PURCHASING AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A NEW LATTER APPARATUS. ONE OF THE THINGS I HEAR ABOUT OFTEN WHEN ARRIVED ALONG WITH FIRE CREW IS TREE DAMAGE TO THESE BUCKET AND LADDER TRUCKS. CAN YOU SPEAK A LITTLE BIT TO THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE THE TREES CAUSE TO THEE THESE -- TO THESE TRUCKS IN TERMS OF MONEY AND -- HOW OFTEN THEY NEED TO BE FIXED? >>CHIEF TRIPP: SO RECENTLY HAD ONE -- WHAT WAS IT 50 -- WHAT WAS IT 50,000? SO STATION 13 DID DO DAMAGE TO THEIR BUCKET. LET'S TALK ABOUT PRECONING THESE VEHICLES. AND BECAUSE WE HAVE THAT CHALLENGE, WHEN WE GO TO PURCHASE AND BUY A VEHICLE, IT IS UP FOR ADMINISTRATION TO CHANGE THE DESIGN OF IT. WE STILL CAN HAVE THE SAME FUNCTIONAL OPERATION OF THAT VEHICLE, BUT WE NEED TO CHANGE THE DESIGN OF IT. SO WHAT WE HAVE DONE, THIS ADMINISTRATION BECAUSE OF THE RECENT CHALLENGES WE HAD, WE CHANGED FROM THE FRONT MOUNT MID MOUNT. SO BASICALLY WILL BE SITTING LOWER AND COME OUT A DIFFERENT WAY. ESPECIAL INSTEAD OF IN FRONT OF THE CAB WHETHER I IS HIGH, A MID MOUNT. >>LYNN HURTAK: IS THAT MORE EXPENSIVE? >>CHIEF TRIPP: ABOUT THE SAME. I WILL SAY THIS THAT MANUFACTURERS ARE GOING UP EVERYWHERE. >>LYNN HURTAK: ABSOLUTELY. AND REALLY MY POINT FOR THAT IS TO SAY AS WE LOOK AT THE 2026 BUDGET, I AM LOOKING FOR MORE MONEY FOR MAINTENANCE OF TREE OF SO AS THAT IT DOESN'T HURT THE FIRE ENGINES. I THINK IT IS A PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUE, ALONG CAN CARS, BUT CERTAINLY FOR OUR FIRE APPARATUS THAT I HAVE SEEN BOTH AT SUPPLY AND AT CERTAIN STATIONS THAT I HAVE RODE WITH. I WANTED TO BRING THAT UP. >>CHIEF TRIPP: WE ARE ALSO EDUCATING OUR PEOPLE A LITTLE BIT FOR SOMETHING LOOK UNSAFE. >>LYNN HURTAK: QUITE FRANKLY, THEY DON'T NEED TO WORRY OF A TREE WHEN THEY ARE TRYING TO REACH SOMEONE IN DANGER. THAT WAS KIND OF MY POINT. I WANT TO FOCUS ON PROVIDING THE RESOURCES TO MAINTAIN THOSE TREES, SO THANK YOU. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN. I TO ASK A QUESTION. PEOPLE THINK OF FELT, POLICE DEPARTMENT, WATER DEPARTMENT. THEY DON'T KNOW THE COST OF EVERYTHING. AND MAYBE SOMEHOW WE CAN PROJECT OR SHOW THEM WHAT A FIRE ENGINE COSTS, AMBULANCE COSTS, WHAT AT THAT TAKES TO PRODUCE WATER. I WANT PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND EVERY DAY WHEN WE HEAR TALKING, IT IS NOT EASY. IT IS NOT EASY FOR YOU. NOT EASY FOR ANY DEPARTMENT HEAD. AND HAVEN'T EDGE THE CAPED A PUBLIC AT ALL. THE PUBLIC IS IN A FOG RIGHT NOW BECAUSE OF MANY OTHER THINGS, CERTAINLY THE STRESS OF MAYBE THE ECONOMY NOT GOING THE WAY THEY LIKE IT TO GO. ONE COUNTRY FIGHTING WITH ANOTHER COUNTRY. OTHER ONE WANTS TO THROW A ROCK AT ANOTHER ONE. THEY THINK IT WILL COME HERE. I AM HEARING YOU WHAT I HEAR ON THE STREET. THEY ARE ANYTHING WHAT WILL HAPPEN TOMORROW. AND WE HAVEN'T GIVEN ANY INDI INDICATION OF CERTAIN THINGS HOW TO PRODUCE WATER AND TAKE A BUS OUT THERE TO LOOK AT IT. TAKE A BUS TO A TREATMENT PLANT TO SEE HOW THEY RECYCLE ALL THE NEEDS THAT NEED TO BE CLEANED UP BEFORE PUT UP SOMEWHERE. THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND BECAUSE IT IS NOT EXPLAINED TO THEM. THE ENERGY OPERATION. WHAT DOES THAT DO AND WHAT IT COSTS TO RUN. MILLIONS SPENT ON JUST THREE AREAS -- JUST THOSE THREE AREAS. I GUARANTEE THE LAST FIVE OR SIX MONTHS WE COMMITTED $400 MILLION, $500 MILLION TO GET IT WHERE IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE. THESE THINGS ARE DONE AND THE PUBLIC ONLY HEARS WHAT IS PUT OUT. AND WE ARE NOT PUTTING ANYTHING OUT. NOT YOU BUT THE SYSTEM THAT WE WORK IN THAT WE DON'T EXPLAIN TO THE PUBLIC, HOW, WHAT IT COSTS TO PAEFB -- PAVE A STREET. THEY DON'T HAVE AN IDEA AND IT IS DIFFICULT FOR THEM TO UNDERSTAND WHY WHERE HE DO THING. I UNDERSTAND IT AND COLLEAGUES OF MINE AND CITY EMPLOYEES UNDERSTAND IT. AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC, BECAUSE MAYBE WE CAN'T PUT IT OUT. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THAT IS A GOOD SUGGESTION FOR OUR MEDIA AND COMMUNICATION GROUP. SINCE WE ARE GOING IN BUDGET SEASON. TALKING OF THESE BUDGETARY ISSUES. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I WILL CLOSE OUT THE CONVERSATION BY SAYING THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT PRESENTATION AND WHAT YOU PRESENTED.

ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. ITEM 079 IS REMOVED. MOVE ON TO 91. YES. >>CAMARIA PETTIS-MACKLE: CAMARIA PETTIS-MACKLE FROM THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT. GOOD AFTERNOON. ITEM NUMBER 91 IS A REVIEW HEARING FOR AN APPLICATION FOR DESIGN EXCEPTION. AND THAT IS FOR DE 1-7522 FOR THE PROPERTY 3701 NORTH 2nd STREET. THE REQUEST FROM THE PETITIONER WHO IS ALSO THE PROPERTY OWNER WAS TO REDUCE THE REAR YARD SETBACKS -- THE REAR YARD SETBACKS FROM 15 FEET TO 6 INCHES ON THE REAR -- ON THE -- FOR THE PROPERTY. FOR A SWIMMING POOL. CITY STAFF REVIEWED THAT REQUEST TO REDUCE THE SETBACKS ACCORDING TO THE CRITERIA IN CODE SECTION 27-60. I HAVE PROVIDED TO YOU CITY COUNCIL A PACKAGE OF INFORMATION. FIRST BEING THE RULES OF PROCEDURE -- THE RULES OF PROCEDURE FOR THIS HEARINGS AND PROVIDED A COPY OF CODE SECTION 27-61, WHICH ARE GOVERNED, THE REVIEW HEARING PROCESS. I ALSO PROVIDED A SAMPLE MOTION FOR THIS MATTER. AS END THE CAPED IN CITY OF TAMPA CODE SECTION 27-16 SUBJECTION J-3. CITY COUNCIL IS TASKED WITH CONDUCTING A DE NOVO REVIEW HEARING WHICH MEANS THAT CITY COUNCIL IS NOT TIED TO THE EVIDENCE THAT WAS SUBMITTED STRICTLY AT THE TIME THE STAFF MADE THE DECISION. YOU WERE SITTING IN THE POSITION OF STAFF RIGHT NOW AT THIS DE NOVO REVIEW HEARING. YOU ARE ABLE TO ACCEPT NEW INFORMATION AND HEAR THE TESTIMONY THAT IS PRESENTED BEFORE YOU THIS AFTERNOON. CITY STAFF IS PRESENT TO EXPLAIN TO YOU WHY THEY DENIED THE DECISION TO REDUCE THE SETBACKS FOR THIS PROPERTY TO HAVE A SWIMMING POOL. AFTER CITY COUNCIL HEARS ALL THE INFORMATION AND EVIDENCE FOR THIS MATTER, CITY COUNCIL CAN AFFIRM THE DECISION OF THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR WHO DENIED THE REQUEST TO REDUCE THE SETBACKS FOR THIS PROPERTY OR CITY COUNCIL CAN OVERTURN DECISION THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR AND THEREFORE APPROVE THE REQUEST TO REDUCE THE SETBACKS FOR THIS PROPERTY. AS I INDICATED I PROVIDED YOU A SAMPLE MOTION MOTION. I WANT TO RECOGNIZE THAT I HAVE AN ERROR ON THE SAMPLE MOTION. SAMPLE MOTION LANGUAGE SAYS TO WAVES THE -- WAIVE THE SETBACK REQUIREMENTS. THAT IS NOT BEING ASKED FOR THE PETITIONER OR THE PROPERTY OWNER. THEY ARE ASKING TO REDUCE THE SETBACKS, NOT WAIVE THE SETBACK REQUIREMENTS. APOLOGIZE FOR THAT WE ARE ROAR. WITH THAT I WILL TURN THE MATTER OVER TO CITY STAFF WILL TELL YOU WHY THEY DENIED THIS REQUEST. IT IS OUTLINED IN 27-06. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: BEFORE WE GET TO STAFF. ANY EX-PARTE COMMUNICATION NEEDED IN THE FILE. HEARING NONE. STAFF. FIB NO WILL TESTIFY IN THIS PUBLIC HEARING STAND AND RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND AND BE SWORN IN BY CLERK. [SWEARING IN] >> I HAVE A PRESENTATION ON FLASH DRIVE. NOT SURE WHERE TO PUT THAT. CLEAN CLENDENIN NORMALLY SUBMITTED AHEAD OF TIME. >> THERE WAS THAT WAS SUBMITTED AHEAD OF TIME. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: IF IT WAS SUBMITTED AHEAD OF TIME, OUR TECH PEOPLE SHOULD BRING IT UP. I ALSO HAVE PAPER SLIDES, IF NECESSARY. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: STANDS BY. IF YOU PUT IT ON THE PROJECTOR, IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY TURN ON. >> OKAY. MY NAME IS WALDO CARBO, PLANNING AND DESIGN AN OPEN PLANNER TWO FOR THE CITY OF TAMPA. I HAVE BEEN SWORN IN. TODAY I WILL BE PRESENTING THE CASE IN DETERMINATION FROM URBAN DESIGN REGARDING DE-1 25007 FOR SUBJECT PROPERTY 3701 NORTH 52nd STREET. THIS REQUEST INVOLVES DESIGN EXCEPTION APPLICATION THAT WAS DENIED BY STAFF. PROPOSAL FOR A 15-FOOT REAR SETBACK TO JUST SIX INCHES. STRUCTURE INCLUDES AN UNPERMITTED ABOVEGROUND POOL AND DE DECK. THESE ARE THE SECTIONS THAT WE USE TO MAKE OUR DETERMINATION. THE APPLICANT CONSTRUCTED AN UNPERMITTED POOL AND DECK WITHIN ONLY SIX NUMBERS OF THE REAR PROPERTY LINE. SIGNIFICANT DEPARTURE FROM THE 15-FOOT MINIMUM REQUIRED FOR THE ABOVEGROUND POOL AND REDUCTION IN THE SETBACK OF 14 AND A HALF FEET DOWN TO SIX INCHES. THIS IS AN AERIAL MAP OF THE AREA -- THE PROPERTY BEING DISCUSSED TODAY. YOU CAN SEE THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES ARE ALL SINGLE-FAMILY DWELLINGS. THIS IS AN EXAMPLE THAT PROVIDES A VISUAL CON NEXT CONTEXT FOR THE ENCROACHMENT AND CONDITIONS THAT LED TO THE CODE COMPLAINT. THIS SAYS -- LOOKING NORTH OF THE PROPERTY FROM EAST 30th AVENUE. THIS IS LOOKING EAST -- FROM FIFTH -- NORTH 52nd STREET. THIS IS LOOKING SOUTH. LOOKING WEST. AND THIS SHOWS THE BOUNDARY SURVEY AND THE SITE PLAN THAT WAS SUBMITTED FOR DESIGN EXCEPTION. THIS SHOWS THE ELEVATION TAKEN IN NOVEMBER '23 WHICH WAS PRIOR TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE POOL. AND THESE NEXT PHOTOS ARE TAKEN FROM THE CODE COMPLAINT SHOWING THE -- THE CURRENT CONDITIONS. THIS IS A CLOSE-UP OF THIS LAST ONE HERE. AS YOU CAN SEE. THIS PHOTO SHOWS HOW CLOSE THE DECK IS TO THE FENCE AND THE ABUTTING ALLEY. THIS POSES RISK TO THE PROPERTIES INCLUDING STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY CONCERNS, INADEQUATE DRAINAGE AND COMPROMIZED PRIVACY. THE APPLICANT HAS A VIABLE ALTERNATIVE SUCH AS INSTALLING AN INGROUND POOL THAT REQUIRES A SMALLER SETBACK AND PROVIDE REASONABLE USE OF THE PROPERTY WITHOUT NECESSITATING SUCH A SIGNIFICANCE CAN ENCROACHMENT. ZONING CODE AND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO MAINTAIN CHARACTER AND ORDERLY DEVELOPMENT. PROVING IT WILL CONTRADICT THESE GOALS AND SEPTEMBER A PRECEDENT FOR SIMILAR NONCOMPLIANT STRUCTURES. REDUCING THE SETBACKS TO SIX INCHES FROM THE 15-FOOT SETBACK IS AN EXTREME DEVELOP NATION AND NOT THE MINIMUM NECESSARY. THE RM-16 ZONING STANDARDS AND THE EAST TAMPA OVERLAY URGE COMPATIBILITY AND DESIGN. THIS PROPOSAL UNDERMINES BY COMPROMISING PRIVACY AND NEIGHBORHOOD AESTHETICS. AND THE APPLICANT -- THE APPLICANT HAS NOT DEMONSTRATED UNIQUE HARDSHIP AND WILL JUSTIFY THE SETBACK REDUCTION AND THE REQUEST SEEMS TO BE BASE ON PERSONAL PREFERENCE RATHER THAN NECES NECESSITY. COULD CONCLUSION -- THE REQUEST FAILS TO MEET THE NECESSARY CRITERIA IN SECTION 27-06, NOT IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST AND CONTRADICTS CITY CODES AND OBJECTIVES. STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL OF THIS DENIAL OF THIS DESIGN EXCEPTION. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION. AND I AM AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK. >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU. SO THE EAST TAMPA OVERLAY REQUIRES THE 15-FOOT BACK YARD QUARTERBACK? >> THAT'S CORRECT. >>LYNN HURTAK: WHAT IS THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE SETBACK, ALSO 15 FEET IN THE WEST TAMPA OVERLAY? >> NO, GOVERNED BY THE GENERAL ZONING WHICH IS TYPICAL THREE FOOT FROM THE REAR AND THREE FOOT FROM THE SIDE. >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: ANY QUESTIONS. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: NOT AT ALL, SORRY. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: HEARING THAT. APPLICANT OR PETITIONER. >> HI. MY NAME IS CALIXTA RODRIGUEZ. SORRY. I AM KIND OF NERVOUS. THIS IS MY FIRST TIME. SO I SUBMIT THE PAPERWORK BECAUSE MY PROPERTY, AS YOU SEE -- THE LAYOUT OF MY PROPERTY EVEN THOUGH IT IS -- MY NET INTEREST IS ON THE 30th. BUT ON 52nd. SO -- SORRY. IF -- IF YOU COME IN TO MY HOUSE, MY MAIN ENTRANCE ON 30th. BUT I DIDN'T KNOW THEREFORE TO HAVE A POOL, YOU NEED TO HAVE SEVEN FEET -- THE SIDES OR 15 ON THE BACK. SO MY HOUSE IS KIND OF BACKWARDS. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU UNDERSTAND ME. SO THAT IS -- I DON'T HAVE THE SPACE TO BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE REGULATIONS FOR THE -- FOR THE POOL. SO I UNDERSTAND THAT I AM NOT IN COMPLIANCE, BUT, HOWEVER, THEY DON'T AGREE TO PROVIDE ME WITH THE DE-1 EXCEPTION BECAUSE MY ONLY ONE THAT THE ENTRANCE IS ON THE ON SEPTEMBER SIDE. NOT ON 52nd. IT IS -- IT IS NOT -- IT IS NOT MY FRONT. MY LAYOUT IS -- I DON'T KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN. TIME SORRY, I AM SO NERVOUS. >>LYNN HURTAK: YOU ARE DOING FINE. >> IF I AM GOING TO PUT THE POOL, I DON'T HAVE THE SPACE AND I AM NOT GOING TO BE IN COMPLIANCE, BECAUSE MY BACK WHICH IS LEGALLY MY BACK IS MY SIDE OF THE HOUSE. SO HE PUT THE -- THE SURVEY. AND LEGALLY IN THE BACK, BUT ON THE SIDE OF HOUSE. AND SO I -- I DIDN'T KNOW THAT I HAD TO BE -- -- IT WAS MY BACK THE HOW LONG AND GET IN THIS MESS AND I APOLOGIZE THOUGHT IT WAS MY SIDE BECAUSE IT WAS MY SIDE. THAT IS THE REASON I PUT THE -- PUT APPROVAL TO SEE IF I CAN GET THE EXEMPTION APPROVED. BECAUSE HIGH HOUSE IS THE ONLY ONE IN ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT HAS THAT ISSUE THAT IS NOT FACING THE 52nd STREET. AND I ALSO HAVE -- THEY HAVE 15 FEET FROM MY NEIGHBORS. SO I -- I DON'T SEE ANY KIND ISSUE WITH THE PRIVACY BECAUSE WE ARE NOT THAT CLOSE TO EACH OTHER. WE ACTUALLY HAVE 11 FEET BETWEEN MY NEIGHBOR AND MY -- AND MY POOL OR MY HOUSE. THAT IS THE REASON WHY OF THE APPEAL. SORRY I DON'T USE THE LANGUAGE THAT YOU ALL USE, BUT I AM NOT USED TO THIS. THIS IS MY FIRST TIME. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WE UNDERSTAND, YOU ARE DOING FINE. OKAY, COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK. >>LYNN HURTAK: I ACTUAL LEGAL HAVE A QUESTION FOR STAFF. I UNDERSTAND WHAT THE APPLICANT IS SAYING, BUT EVEN IF WE LOOKED AT 30th AS HER FRONT AND THAT WOULD BE A SIDE YARD, FOR THE EAST TAMPA OVERLAY, SEVEN FEET STIPULATE STILL THE SIDE YARD SETBACK IN. >> YES, FOR THE CORNER SPECIFICALLY, YES. SEVEN FOR THE SIDE AND THE CORNER. >>LYNN HURTAK: EITHER WAY, SHE IS NOT IN COMPLIANCE OF EITHER THE THREE FEET FOR THE SEVEN FEET REGARDLESSFUL HOW FAR WE ARE LOOKING AT THIS AS AND ACCESSORY STRUCTURE OR SIDE YARD. WE STILL WOULD NEED TO BE -- EVEN IF WE WERE TO TREAT IT AS A SIDE YARD UP STEAD OF A BACK YARD SHEMENT WOULD COMPLY. >> I DO HAVE THE SEVEN FEET BETWEEN THE -- FROM WHERE THIS IS -- >>ALAN CLENDENIN: HOLD ON ONE SECOND. >> OKAY. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WOULD YOU LIKE TO COME AND PROVIDE FURTHER TESTIMONY. COME TO THE PODIUM. MICROPHONE IS HERE AND STATE YOUR NAME AGAIN. >> I DON'T -- CLEAN CLENDENIN STATE YOUR NAME FIRST. >> IS SORRY, CALIXTA RODRIGUEZ. HE DON'T HAVE THE 15 FEET FROM MY -- FROM MY PROPERTY TO THE POOL. BUT -- SORRY, I DON'T HAVE THE 15 FOOT BECAUSE MY SIDE IS MY BACK. BUT I DO HAVE THE SEVEN FOOT FROM THE SIDE TO THE POOL. I DO HAVE THOSE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I THINK THAT -- THAT IS NOT AN AREA WE HAVE CONSENSUS ON. STAFF, WOULD WOULD YOU LIKE TO BRING UP THE SURVEY. >> I CAN, BUT TECHNICALLY FROM THE -- >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COME BACK UP. >> FROM THE CORNER -- WALDO CARLO, CITY OF TAMPA, URBAN PLANNER TWO. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THROW THE SURVEY ON THAT. >> BEAR WITH ME HEAR. THAT IS OUT OF ORDER. OKAY. SO -- AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, NORTH 52nd IS CONSIDERED THE FRONT. EAST 30th WOULD BE THE CORNER. AND TECHNICALLY SHE DUD HAVE THE SEVEN FEET FROM THE CORNER YARD, BUT THAT WAS NEVER THE ISSUE. THE ISSUE WAS THE REAR. AND EVEN IF YOU TURNED IT SIDEWAYS, YOU STILL WON'T HAVE IT FROM -- >>ALAN CLENDENIN: SO FOR THE APPLICANT'S POINT OF VIEW, CAN YOU SHOW WHERE THE SURVEY LINES ARE FOR THE BACK YARD AND THE DISTANCE, BECAUSE WHAT SHE WAS SAYING SHE HAD MORE LENGTHY -- WOULD YOU LIKE TO POINT OUT WHAT YOU ARE SAYING TO US? >> I MEAN -- WHAT I AM TRYING TO SAY IS THIS IS MY ENTRANCE, RIGHT. THIS IS MY SIDE OF THE HOUSE EVEN THOUGH FOR PURPOSES, IT IS -- IT IS MY BACK. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WE UNDERSTAND THAT PARTICIPANT. >> I DO HAVE SEVEN FEET HERE. MY ISSUE IS THAT I CANNOT BE ABLE TO HAVE THE POOL IF I HAVE -- IF I HAVE TO TAKE -- OR IF I HAVE -- HAVE TO MOVE IT 15 FEET, BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THAT SPACE IN THERE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: SO THE DIFFERENCE IS MAYBE -- IS WHEN WE ARE DEFINING AS SIDE AND BACK YARD. SO WHAT -- WHAT STAFF IS TELLING YOU WHAT THE DISTANCES ARE. TO MAKE SURE WE ARE SPEAK THE SAME LANGUAGE. YOU ARE SAYING THAT STAFF IS SAYING THAT YOUR BACK YARD IS AGAINST THAT ALLEY. AND EVEN THOUGH YOUR FRONT DOOR IS ONE PLACE AND YOUR BACK DOOR IS AGAINST THE ALLEY AND BY CITY RULES, HAS TO BE SO MANY FEET BY THAT BACK ALLEY LINE. THAT IS THE CONTENTIOUS PART HERE IS THAT THAT YOUR PROPERTY LINE ON THE ALLEY, RIGHT. AND WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT. >>LYNN HURTAK: DON'T MOVE THAT. I HAVE A QUESTION. MY QUESTION FOR STAFF IS, THE APPLICANT SAID THAT -- THAT THE POOL IS SEVEN FEET FROM 30th -- FROM THE PROPERTY LINE. BUT I DON'T THINK IT IS SEVEN -- I AM ASKING, IS IT SEVEN FEET FROM THE PROPERTY LINE TO THE DECK IN? BECAUSE IT IS NOT THE POOL, BUT THE DECK THAT WOULD NEED TO BE IN COMPLIANCE AS WELL. >> THAT'S CORRECT. WHEN IT IS AN ABOVE-GROUND POOL WELL A DECK WE COUNT FROM THE EDGE OF THE DECK. >>LYNN HURTAK: HOW FAR FROM THE EDGE OF THE TECH FROM THE PROPERTY LINE AT 30th. >> POOL FROM -- REAR FENCE. LET'S SEE. LOOKS -- HARD TO TELL FROM HERE LOOKING AT THE I BELIEVE THAT IT IS -- IT IS -- SIX FEET. IS THAT AN EIGHT? HARD TO TELL FROM HERE. IT HAS BEEN A WHEEL SINCE -- >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THE LAST WRITTEN LINE SAYS POOL IT HE CAN FROM RIGHT SIDE -- >>SPEAKER: 38 FEET. >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. EITHER WAY IT IS NOT SEVEN FEET FROM THE BACK. >> IF YOU TURNED IT SIDEWAYS, IT WOULD CREATE MORE APPLICATION COMPLICATIONS CHANGING THE ORIENTATION. >>LYNN HURTAK: OKAY. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADD. >> NO. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: OKAY, THANK YOU. ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC WHO WISHES TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM? WE HAVE A MOTION TO CLOSE FROM COUNCIL MEMBER MANISCALCO. A SECOND FROM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. OPPOSED. SO ANY DISCUSSION? ANYBODY -- WHAT IS THE ROLE OF COUNCIL. >>LYNN HURTAK: I WILL TRY. I MOVE TO UPHOLD THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR'S DENIAL OF DE 1-25-27-C, PROPERTY AT 3701 NORTH 52nd STREET BECAUSE THE PETITIONER FAILED TO INTRODUCE COMPETENCE EVIDENCE OF CODE 27-290 SUBSECTIONS 1-B BASED ON THE CRITERIA ESTABLISHED IN CITY OF TAMPA CODE 27-06 FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: THAT THE EXCEPTION DOES NOT ACHIEVE THE GENERAL INTENSION OF THIS CHAPTER. AND THAT TAMPA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN -- THE EXEMPTION IS NOT CONSISTENT WITH APPLICABLE SPECIFIC PLANS IN PLACE OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY. THE SPECIFIC -- TO THE -- AND SUCH A REQUEST IS NOT CLEARLY DEMONSTRATED THAT THE EXCEPTION IS WARRANTED DO YOU TO THE UNIQUE CIRCUMSTANCE OF THE PROPERTY SUCH AS LOCATION OF TREES, BUILDINGS, ETC. THAT IT -- IT JUST SIMPLY -- CAN'T ROOM FOR A POOL. AND THE PETITIONER CHOSE TO PUT ONE ANYWAY. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: SECOND. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: MR. SHELBY? OKAY. A MOTION FROM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK. A SECONDED FROM COUNCIL MEMBER MANISCALCO. >>MARTIN SHELBY: I AM SORRY. I WANTED TO FOR PURPOSE OF THE CLARITY OF THE RECORD, SECTION 27-290.3-1-B? >>LYNN HURTAK: CORRECT. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. OPPO OPPOSED. >> NAY. >>CLERK: MOTION CARRIES WITH VIERA AND CARLSON VOTING NO. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: ITEM 47, 48 IS A COME BACK AFTER LUNCH. >> JUSTIN VASKE, CITY ATTORNEY. SUBSTITUTE RESOLUTION FOR ITEM 47. AND THIS IS -- DON'T ONLY SUBSTITUTING THE RESOLUTION, NOT THE UNDERLYING CHANGE ORDER WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE CLERK'S OFFICE. NOW WE DID MAKE A CHANGE OF RESOLUTION. THAT CHANGE -- CHANGES THE FUNDS FOR WHICH WE ARE PAYING THE CONTRACTOR. BUT WE DID PROVIDE A LITTLE BIT MORE CLARIFICATION THAN USUAL AT THE RECOMMENDATION OF ATTORNEY SHELBY. WE PROVIDE ADELINE THAT SAYS NO FUNDS SHALL BE USED FROM THE CENTRAL TAMPA TREE TRUST FUND OR THE SOUTH TAMPA TREE TRUST FUND FOR THAT CHANGE ORDER. SO A LITTLE CLARIFICATION. WE ARE ASKING THAT YOU APPROVE THE RESOLUTION WITH THE CHANGE ORDER ON FILE FOR THE CLERK. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: ANY DISCUSSION? COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK. >>LYNN HURTAK: I MOVE THE RESOLUTION. >> SECOND. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: A MOTION BY COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK. SECONDED BY FROM COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. OPPOSED? THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >>LYNN HURTAK: AND I -- I MOVE TO REMOVE -- DO WE HAVE ANOTHER? I WAS GOING -- I MOVE TO REMOVE ITEM NUMBER 48 FROM THE AGENDA. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: MOTION FROM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK TO REMOVE ITEM 48. SECOND? >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: SECOND. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. OPPOSED. THE AYES HAVE IT. OKAY. >> THANK YOU. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: ARE WE READY WITH THE FINANCE FOLKS? MONEY, MONEY, MONEY. >>DENNIS ROGERO: CLOSE ENOUGH. I WILL GET THROUGH IT. GOOD AFTERNOON, AGAIN, COUNCIL, DENNIS ROGERO, CHIEF FINANCIAL OFF OFFICER. IF I CAN HAVE THE PRESENTATION UP, PLEASE, FROM THE BACK THERE. OH, I APOLOGIZE. MY GLASSES DIDN'T EVEN SEE THE THESE. I APOLOGIZE. WAITING FOR ANOTHER ONE? OKAY. THANK YOU, SIR. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR HAVING US AGAIN HERE TO DISCUSS THE MID-YEAR OF THE CURRENT YEAR. AS YOU KNOW, WE TYPICALLY DO THIS ABOUT HALFWAY THROUGH THE FISCAL YEAR EVERY YEAR GIVING COUNCIL AND THE PUBLIC SOME INSIGHT, MORE DETAILED INSIGHT OF JUST HOW WE ARE DOING. AS YOU ALSO KNOW, IT IS A LITTLE LATER THAN USUAL IN YEAR. SO INSTEAD OF PRESENTING YOU AND THE PUBLIC SOME RATHER STALE INFORMATION FROM THE QUOTE, UNQUOTE MID-YEAR, THIS PRESENTATION WHAT YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU WILL PROVIDE ALMOST-TO-THE-MINUTE INFORMATION ON WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH THE CITY'S FINANCES. INTERESTINGLY, THIS IS ABOUT THE CLOSEST IT HAS EVER BEEN TO THE ANTICIPATED RECOMMENDATION OF THE BUDGET FOR THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR. SO KIND OF AN INTERESCON FLEUR OF EVENTS. AND THEORETICALLY, THE PROJECTIONS SHOULD BE MORE ACCURATE. OF COURSE AT THE END OF THIS PRESENTATION, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS AS ALWAYS, IF MISS COPESKY HAS ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE REACH OUT US TO AND LET US KNOW. AND AS WE DO EVERY YEAR, A VERY BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE BUDGET IN ITS ENTIRE TEE. YOU KNOW CITY COUNCIL IS ALREADY VERY, VERY FAMILIAR WITH THIS, BUT THERE MAY BE MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC THAT ARE NOT, AND IT DOESN'T HURT TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF REFRESHER I THINK FOR EVERYBODY. SO YOU CAN SEE RIGHT HERE, $1.8 BILLION. AND AS ALWAYS, AND HE DON'T SEE THAT CHANGING, TWO LARGEST COMPONENTS ARE THE ENTERPRISE AND THE GENERAL FUND. THREE QUARTERS OF THE BUDGET IN ITS ENTIRETY. DWELLING DOWN JUST A LITTLE DEEP INTO THOSE PARTICULAR FUNDS, BECAUSE THAT IS WHERE A LOT OF THE CITY ACTIVITY TAKES PLACE, OF COURSE. ON THE LEFT THE GENERAL FUND OVER $650 MILLION. ON THE RIGHT AT OVER $735 MILLION THE ENTERPRISE FUNDS. AND YOU CAN FOLLOW THE GRAPHS. PUBLIC SAFETY IS A VERY LARGE PORTION OF THE GENERAL FUND, OF COURSE. CENTRAL GOVERNMENT, THE BACK OFFICE FUNCTIONS, HUMAN RESOURCES, REVENUE AND FINANCIALS, T&I. THINGS THAT NOT MANY PEOPLE SEE IN THE COMMUNITIES THAT KEEP THE WHEELS OF GOVERNMENT TURNING AND, OF COURSE, PARKS AND RECREATION, PUBLIC WORKS AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. THEN OVER ON THE RIGHT AS COUNCIL IS AWARE, THESE ARE ENTERPRISE FUNDS. THOSE CITY DEPARTMENTS THAT WE ASK TO RUN QUOTE, UNQUOTE, LIKE A BUSINESS. MAKE IT QUOTE, UNQUOTE, PROFIT. USING PROFITS FOR IMPROVEMENTS OR FUTURE PLANS IN CONTRAST TO THE PRIVATE SECTOR. AND AS WE ALWAYS DO AND PROBABLY ALWAYS WILL DO DIVE DEEPER INTO THE GENERAL FUND. THIS IS ALWAYS A LARGE PORTION OF OUR FOCUS AS COUNCIL KNOW. THIS IS THE MONEY THANK THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF FLEXIBILITY IN SPENDING. WE CALL IT THE GENERAL FUND. OTHER REVENUES AND SPECIAL REVENUES AND ENTERPRISE REVENUE FUNDS ARE RESTRICTED TO IT THE PURPOSE THAT YOU CAN SPEND THAT FUNDING DOWN. BECAUSE OF THE FLEXIBILITY, THE MOST VALUABLE DOLLARS IN THE CITY BUDGET. EVERY DOLLAR IS NOT REALLY EQUAL. POLICE AND FIRE, OF COURSE, AS I STATED JUST A LITTLE WHILE AGO AND AS YOU KNOW THE PUBLIC SAFETY SERVICES ARE VERY, VERY LARGE PORTION OF THIS BUDGET, AND THEY ALSO TYPICALLY GET A VERY, VERY LARGE PORTION OF THE RESIDENTS AND GOVERNMENT'S FOCUS. AND FUNDED -- THE GENERAL FUND IS ALSO FUNDED BY PROPERTY TAXES. OF COURSE, PROPERTY TAXES WITH A LOT OF FOCUS. A LOT OF -- LARGEST SINGLE REVENUE SOURCE IN THE CITY. LARGEST SINGLE REVENUE SOURCE. AND WE GIVE IT A LOT OF TIME AND ATTENTION BECAUSE IT TYPICALLY GETS A LOT OF ATTENTION. YOU SEE IT HERE ALMOST $653 MILLION. SO HOW IS THE GENERAL FUND DOING THIS YEAR? DOING NOT BAD. DOING NOT BAD. BUT THE FINANCE PEOPLE IN MY SHOP WILL CALL IT A VERY GOOD GLIDE PATH AS WE APPROACH THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR. THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY IS. THE GOOD NEWS IS PROPERTY TAX REVENUES ARE JUST ABOUT RIGHT ON TARGET. LITTLE BIT MORE. COUPLE OF MILLION. WE WILL TAKE IT. WHAT WE REALLY LOOK FOR EVERY SINGLE YEAR EVEN EARLIER WERE HOW TO MONITOR CLOSELY AND NOT COMING IN LESS THAN AMENDED. AND THAT'S REALLY CASE WITH ALL THE MAJOR REVENUES. MAJOR REVENUE IN A LITTLE BIT IS COLLING LESS THAN AMENDED AND OF COURSE THAT HURTS. THIS IS A VERY, VERY TIME SIGN. AS COUNCIL AND THE PUBLIC KNOW, GOING FORWARD ON THESE SLIDE, IF YOU SEE A GREEN SLOT, IT IS BETTER THAN WE AMENDED AND IT WILL BE VERY OBVIOUS VERY SOON. WHEN YOU SEE A RED DOT, IT IS WORSE OR PROJECTED IT WILL BE WORSE THAN ANTICIPATED. SO YOU HAVE LESS THAN A 1% VARIANCE THAT IS VERY, VERY TIGHT. AT LEAST NOT GOING DOWN IN LIGHT OF THE HURRICANE AND DAMAGE ACTIVITIES THAT WE RECENTLY FAC FACED. AND HERE IS AN UNFORTUNATE EXAMPLE OF MAJOR REVENUE GOING DOWN. GOING DOWN QUITE A BIT COMPARED TO WHAT WE AMENDED AND THAT IS UNFORTUNATE. $4 MILLION. $4 MILLION IS ENOUGH TO HURT. THE PRIMARY REASON FOR THIS I WOULD SUBMIT TO YOU ARE THESE SALES TAX HOLIDAYS THAT WILL CONTINUE TO SURFACE IN THE STATE. NEW ONE BACK IN JANUARY. IT WAS BACK TO SCHOOL. AND WE HAVE FOUR -- COUNT THEM FOUR COMING BEFORE THE END OF THIS FISCAL YEAR. YOU SEE A DOWN TICK CONSUMER SPENDING AND CONSUMER SENTIMENT AND TRANS RATES INTO SALES TAX REVENUE. ONE OF THE MORE -- ONE OF THE MORALISTIC REVENUES OPPOSED TO A NICE STEADY PROPERTY TAX REVENUE. THAT IS SUBJECT TO THE WHIM OF THE CONSUMING PUBLIC. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: DENNIS A PROJECTION FOR THE END OF THE YEAR. >>DENNIS ROGERO: YES, FOR THE END OF THIS FISCAL YEAR, YES. AND ALSO, UNFORTUNATELY, OUR ELECTRIC FRANCHISE FEES AND OUR ELECTRIC UTILITY SERVICES TAXES ARE COLLECT COLLECTIVELY COMING IN BELOW EXPECTATION. AND THAT IS ABOUT $6 MILLION. AGAIN THAT HURTS. NOW WE ARE STILL IN A GOOD GLIDE PATH AS I SAID. PICKED UP A LITTLE IN PROPERTY TAXES. YOU WILL SEE SOME EXPENSE. YOU WILL SEE EXPENSE PROJECTIONS THAT ARE LOWER IN BUDGET AND YOU ADD UP THE $4 MILLION AND THE $6 MILLION AND THAT STARTS TO HURT. IRONICALLY TWO DIFFERENT REVENUES AND I THOUGHT SPLITTING THEM UP. TWO DIFFERENT REVENUES GOING IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS. THE ELECTRIC UTILITY TAXES. TAXES THAT WE CHARGE CASH IN ARE CHARGED FOR ELECTRICITY IN THE CITY BUT 10% IS GOING UP SLIGHTLY. BUT THE FRANCHISE FEES ARE TAKING A NOSE DIVE AND THE FRANCHISE FEES WHAT WE CHARGE BUSINESSES FOR USE OF RIGHT-OF-WAYS. RIGHT-OF-WAYS, WE GET A RETURN ON INVESTMENT FOR THEM USING. UNFORTUNATELY IT IS GOING DOWN MORE THAN IS AMENDED. BECAUSE IT IS LINKED IF FEWER PRICES AND FUEL CHARGES. WHAT IS LEADING TO THAT. AS WE CONTINUE TO ANALYZE THE BUDGET THROUGH THE END OF THE YEAR. SEE IF WE ARE PICKING UP SAVINGS ON THE EXPENDITURE SIDE. COMMUNICATION SERVICES TAX. THERE IS A LONG HISTORY WITH THIS TAX. YOU HEARD MERE SAY IT BEFORE. IT IS JUST ABOUT FLAT LINE ACROSS THE BOARD. BUT WE WILL TAKE THAT AND THIS -- THIS TAX LOOKS LIKE IT WAS GOING AWAY FOR YEARS AND, INDEED, A TAX QUITE VIGOROUSLY THAT USED TO BRING IN DOUBLE THIS. YOU GOT EXCEPTIONS AT THE LEGISLATIVE LEVEL AND AGAIN REALLY, REALLY INVESTED IN LAND LINES THAT ARE GOING AWAY. DON'T HAVE ONE ANY MORE, FOR INSTANCE. WE WILL TAKE FLAT LINE AS LONG AS WE ARE NOT LOSING IT COMPLETELY AND FOR A WHILE, IT LOOK LIKE WE WERE. PERSONNEL COSTS. AND LESS THAN ANTICIPATED BUT THE GOOD NEWS NOT MORE THAN AMENDED. AND WE WILL REALLY DON'T ANTICIPATE -- USE THE WORD ANTICIPATED A LOT. WE DON'T THINK THAT IT IS GOING TO BE -- WE DON'T THINK IT WILL BE VARIABLE A WHOLE LOT BECAUSE AS WE TALKED ABOUT BEFORE, THIS NEW OPEN GOV SOFTWARE HAVE MADE OUR PROJECTIONS WHEN IT COMES TO PERSONNEL COSTS VERY, VERY ACCURATE. YOU SEE THE DEVIATION BETWEEN WHAT WE THINK WE ARE GOING TO LAND IN THE BUDGET OVER TIME GET SMALLER AND SMALLER AND SMALLER AND GOULD BECAUSE IT MEMBERS IT IS MORE ACCURATE TO BE COMING IN RIGHT ONLY TARGET. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: DENNIS, CAN YOU PAUSE FOR A MOMENT. >>LYNN HURTAK: 2019-2025, HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE WE ADD? >>DENNIS ROGERO: 2019-2025. LET ME SEE IF I GOT THAT IN MY NOTES. CAN I CIRCLE BACK TO YOU ON THAT. GOT IT YEAR BY YEAR. DON'T HAVE IT CUMULATIVELY AND HATE TO DO MATH ON FLIGHT. >>LYNN HURTAK: OH, NO. AND I APPRECIATE THAT. ROUGHLY 175 MILLION MORE ANNUALLY SINCE FY '19. YEAH. $180 MILLION MORE. >>DENNIS ROGERO: YES, MA'AM, WE WILL CIRCLE BACK TO YOU. CLENDENIN CLEAN I WAS WATCHING THE SAME THING. GOING CRAZY. THANK YOU FOR THE PAUSE. >>DENNIS ROGERO: YES. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: YOU WILL GET BACK TO US. >>DENNIS ROGERO: ABSOLUTELY. >>LYNN HURTAK: THE PERSONNEL NUMBERS. >>DENNIS ROGERO: BIT OF GREAT NEWS, OPERATING COSTS ARE COMING IN LESS THAN ANTICIPATED. WE WILL TAKE THAT FOURISH MILLION DOLLARS. THESE ARE PRIMARILY -- AGAIN THESE GENERAL FUNDS AND HEAVY HITTERS AND PARK AND RECREATION AND IN FIRE DEPARTMENT, POLICE DEPARTMENT. FIRE AND PARKS, IF SAVINGS THERE, DOMINO EFFECT ON THE FUND WIDE PERSPECTIVE. POLICE PENSION HAD A VERY, VERY, VERY GOOD INVESTMENT THAT YEAR. YOU SEE THAT PLAY OUT WITH REDUCTION OF EXPENSE ASSOCIATED WITH THAT FROM UNDER 40 TO ABOUT 37.5 MILLION DOLLARS. 30 PLUS PERCENT ANNUAL INVESTMENT RETURN WILL DO THAT FOR YOU. SO WE ARE DOING VERY, VERY GOOD. VERY, VERY WELL. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: ALL NEED TO HAVE THAT FUND AND INVESTMENT FOR PRIVATE MONEY. >>DENNIS ROGERO: IN RETROSPECT. THEY HAVE BEEN WIDELY SUCCESSFUL IN 409-ODD OR 50R-YEAR PERIOD. WHEN THEY GO DOWN, THEY GO DOWN. WHEN THEY GO UP, THEY REALLY GO UP AND AN AGGRESSIVE INVESTMENT -- >>ALAN CLENDENIN: MICROPHONE. [ INAUDIBLE ] >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THEEFLZ PEOPLE ARE ONLY THE -- >>DENNIS ROGERO: A GENTLEMAN BY THE NAME JAY BOWEN VERY, VERY SMART. THEY CALL HIM ORACLE OF TAMPA. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: UNBELIEVABLE THAT GUY. >> FANTASTIC. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: SORRY FOR THE INTERRUPTION. >>DENNIS ROGERO: NOT AT ALL. JUST A LITTLE BIT PROJECTIONS ON THE GE MENTION. LESS INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY BUT A VERY, VERY GOOD YEAR LAST YEAR. SO FROM A STATISTICAL SCALE PERSPECTIVE, THEY ARE RIGHT ON TARGET AND WE WILL TAKE THAT. I TRY TO HIGHLIGHT THIS EVERY TIME I GET UP TO CITY COUNCIL AND EVERY TIME I GET UP IN FRONT OF THE PUBLIC. WE HAVE TWO WONDERFUL PENSION PROGRAMS HERE IN THE CITY. WELL FUNDED, WELL MANAGED. VERY, VERY SURE THEIR PEOPLE ARE MANAGING THE MONEY AND ON BOARD. I AM ON BOTH BOARD AND I DON'T INCLUDE MYSELF IN THAT DESCRIPTION. YOU HAVE SOME VERY PROACTIVE, SMART, SMART INDIVIDUALS MANAGING -- MANAGING OUR PENSION MONEY. AND, OF COURSE,ER IN REPRESENCALLY, THE PENSION WILL GO ON FOREVER, RIGHT -- THEY ARE REPRESENCALLY, THE PENSION WILL GO ON FOR K AND THIS IS GOING TO BEGUN ON FOREVER AND TIME TO INVEST AND WHAT I AM DOING IS PARROTTING WHAT MR. BOWEN FROM THE FIRE AND POLICE PENSION FUND SAY THAT LONG-TERM VIEW AND SEEING IT PLAY OUT. I WILL REMIND THE PUBLIC AND I KNOW COUNCIL KNOW THIS THAT THE CITY HAS NEVER A PENSION HOLIDAY BASED ON ACTUARIAL ANALYSIS. THE CITY CONTRIBUTES EVERYTHING THAT THE CITY IS SUPPOSED TO EVERY SINGLE YEAR AND ONE OF THE REASONS OUR PENSION FUNDS ARE SO WELL FUNDED. AND AVAILABLE FUND BALANCE. AGAIN LOOKING VERY GOOD AT THIS PECULIAR TIME OF YEAR. YOU SEE THAT HE NICE CONSISTENT 23 23, 24%. LAST YEAR I CAME BEFORE COUNCIL AND I SAID I DON'T THINK WE WILL FINISH FISCAL '24 AT THAT 23% FIGURE. WE ENDED UP DOING THAT, BUT, AGAIN, THAT WAS EARLIER IN THE YEAR WITH LESS INFORMATION. WE THINK WE ARE GOING TO COME IN AT 23% THIS YEAR, WHICH IS VERY, VERY GOOD NEWS. AND REGARDING THAT PATH. I KNOW YOU HEARD IT BEFORE, BUT I THINK IT IS ALWAYS WORTH REITERATING THAT CONSISTENCY IN TERMS OF WHAT OUR UNASSIGNED FUND BALANCE IS VERY, VERY IMPORTANT TO THE OUTSIDE LOOKING AT OUR FINANCIAL PICTURE. FIRST OF ALL, IT IS ABOVE POLICY AND SPEAKS TO OUR VERY, VERY CONSERVATIVE FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT HISTORICALLY AND WE WILL LIKE TO CONTINUE THAT AS I ALWAYS TRY TO DO, THANK THIS COUNCIL AND PAST COUNCIL FOR EMPHASIZING AND REALIZING IN MY OPINION THE IMPORTANCE OF A VERY, VERY STRONG FUND BALANCE. IT IS SERVING US WELL AS WE SPEAK IN TERMS OF FLOATING MONEY WHILE WE WAIT FOR FEMA REIMBURSEMENT, FOLKS. WE HAVE THE WHEREWITHAL TO MEET OUR SHORT-TERM NEEDS AND DEPENDING ON WHEN WE GET THE FEMA REIMBURSEMENT. WE CAN MEET OUR LONG-TERM NEEDS SIMPLY BECAUSE OF THIS VERY STRONG FUND BALANCE POSITION. AS YOU PROBABLY KNOW, WE ARE BREATHING VERY, INVESTIGATOR HEAVY AIR WHEN IT COMES TO OUR PRORATION. VERY, VERY STRONG. YOU CAN HEAR THE OTHER SIDE OF CONE IN A FEW MINUTES BUT WE ARE IN A VERY STRONG FINANCIAL POSITION AT THIS TIME. MOVING TO THE ENTERPRISE FUNDS, AGAIN THE LARGEST SINGLE CHUNK. JUST A LITTLE OVER -- JUST A LITTLE UNDER $704 MILLION. EXPECTED AS A BUSINESS AND EXPECTED TO MAKE A PROFIT. I THINK -- I WILL SPEAK A LITTLE MORE TO THIS IN JUST A MOMENT. I THINK WITH THE RATE PLANS THAT WE HAVE IN PLACE, INCLUDING NOW NOW THE SOLID WASTE DEPARTMENT, THEY ARE VERY, VERY FIRM AND STRUCTURALLY VERY SOUND FOR THE IMMEDIATE FUTURE AND THE CHALLENGES WE MAY FACE. STARTING WITH THE PARKING DEPARTMENT. THEY CONTINUE TO DO WELL AND REVENUES ARE UP, AND THEY ARE HOLDING THE LINE ON EXPENSES. AGAIN, NEW PARKING RATES WENT INTO EFFECT INTO LATE '21. AND WE ARE SEEING THE BENEFITS OF THAT. AND THE FEE GOES UP % EACH YEAR AND, AGAIN, WE HAVE TRIED -- 3% EACH YEAR AND, AGAIN, WE TRY TO EXPAND OUR PHILOSOPHY OF FEES AND CHARGES, SO WE DON'T GET BEHIND THE 8-BALL AND WE HAVE DONE IT IN PAST AND WATER, WASTEWATER AND SOLID WASTE ARE GREAT EXAMPLES THAT INDEX FEE SCHEDULE GOING FORWARD INTO THE FUTURE. WE PROJECT THEY WILL LOSS LESS THAN THE FUND BALANCE THAN PLANNED AND IT IS PLANNED THEY WILL USE SOME FUND BALANCE, WHILE, AGAIN, YOU SEE THE DEBT SERVICE IN THE CAPITAL PROJECT EXPENSES. STILL IN LINE. $11 MILLION IN CIP PROJECTS. INCH STARK CONTRAST TO LAST YEAR AT THIS TIME, THE SOLID WASTE DEPARTMENT IS DOING VERY, VERY WELL. AND OF COURSE AS WE AND COUNCIL PLANNED WITH THAT FIRST YEAR OF A FIVE-YEAR RATE SCHEDULE THAT WE IMPLEMENTED. YOU SEE IT IS PAYING OFF. THEY ARE USING SUBSTANTIALLY LESS FUND BALANCE THAN AMENDED. THEY ARE GOING TO END THE YEAR VERY HAVE VERY STRONG TO THE BOTTOM LOWER RIGHT THERE. EXPENSES ARE COMING IN LESS. SO WE WILL TAKE THAT IN THE CAPITAL SPENDING AGAIN REMAINS RIGHT ON TARGET. SO CONGRATULATIONS, COUNCIL, A RECENT APPLICATION AND CERTAINLY APPEARS TO BE -- ACTION, AND CERTAINLY APPEARS TO BE PAYING OFF. WASTEWATER JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN A FUND BALANCE. WE ANTICIPATE THEY ARE GOING TO USE THAN PLANNED, BUT, AGAIN, FROM A SCALED PERSPECTIVE, MUCH ON TARGET, SHORT, MEDIUM AND LONG-TERM PLANS SO FAR ARE IN LINE WITH WHAT OUR PROJECTIONS WERE AND WHAT OUR PROJECTION ALSO PROBABLY CONTINUE TO BE AS WE LOOK AT FUTURE DEBT ISSUANCE FOR THE PIPES PROGRAM. VERY, VERY SIMILAR PICTURE AND MORE POSITIVE WITH WATER COMING WITH 8 AHEAD. WE ANTICIPATE THE YEAR IN THE LOWER RIGHT. WATER BASE CHARGES COMING BETTER THANNESS EXPECTED AND YOU SEE A NICE REDUCTION IN WHAT YOU ANTICIPATE TO IT BE THEIR EXPENSES. AGAIN SO FAR FOR BOTH WATER AND WASTEWATER AND THEY ARE JOINED AT THE HELP. BOTH INTERNALLY AND FROM THE OUTSIDE FINANCIAL PERSPECTIVE ON TARGET IN DOING MORE. AND HERE IS THE REMAINING BUDGET CALENDAR. YOU SEE AGAIN IN JUST A COUPLE OF WEEKS WE WILL BE COMING IN WITH THE MAYOR'S BUDGET PRESENTATION. YOU HAVE TWO WORKSHOPS SCHEDULED -- TWO WORKSHOPS SCHEDULED SO FAR. AND, OF COURSE, THE TWO PUBLIC HEARINGS. LOOKING FORWARD TO A LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES TO DISCUSS THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR '26. AS WE PROGRESS THROUGH THIS YEAR, DISCUSS THE CURRENT YEAR. YOU KNOW -- LET ME CLOSE REAL QUICK AND I WILL GIVE YOU THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COIN. THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR GIVING US THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT THIS INFORMATION. AND NOW THE STORM CLOUDS. NO PUN INTENDED. IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY YEAR SINCE THE GLOBAL PANDEMIC, I COME IN AND TELL COUNCIL, HERE WE ARE IN A STRONG POSITION. BUT THERE ARE CHALLENGES. WELL, WE ARE IN A STRONG POSITION, BUT THERE ARE CHALLENGES AND THERE REALLY ARE. YOU GOT A LAUGH A LITTLE ABOUT IT, BECAUSE SOME OF THE GREATEST BUSINESS ECONOMICS AND INVESTMENT MINDS IN THE UNITED STATES IF NOT THE WORLD SAY THIS IS THE MOST UNCERTAIN ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT THAT THEY HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED. SO IT IS UNCERTAIN IS THE FUTURE. BUT THAT IS NOT WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR FROM SOME THE GREAT HE IS ECONOMIC AND INVESTMENT MINDS IN THE PLANET. SO WE HAVE HEADWIND. LESS THAN A YEAR AGO, TWO BACK-TO-BACK STORMS. NOT TRYING TO FEARMONGER BUT THE FACTS ARE THE FACTS AND WE HAVE A VERY GOOD FUND BALANCE FOR THAT. YOU HAVE INFLATION APPEARING TO COOL, BUT WHAT IS ALSO COOLING IS THE JOB -- THE EMPLOYMENT -- THE JOB MARKET AND EMPLOYMENT SCENARIO AND A VERY PRECARIOUS BALANCE THAT THE FEDERAL RESERVE TRIES TO RIDE THAT RAZOR'S EDGE RAIL. NOT TOO HIGH, INFLATION, BUT NOT TOO GREAT OF A JOB MARKET. SO EVERYBODY SHE IS THAT WILL REMAIN PRECARIOUS FOR SOME TIME. I ALREADY TALK CONSUMER SENTIMENT AND CONSUMER SPENDING. YOU PROBABLY HEARD ME SAY IT BEFORE, CONSUMER SPENDING IN THE UNITED STATES IS ALMOST THREE QUARTERS OF THE ENTIRE ECONOMY. WHEN CONSUMERS STOP SPENDING MONEY OR START SPENDING LESS MONEY, THAT IS NOT A GOOD SIGN. LAST QUARTER'S GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT FOR THE U.S. WAS DOWN FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YEARS. FROM WHAT I READ, I DON'T THINK IT IS FORESEEN TO GO DOWN IN THE SECOND QUARTER WHICH IS THE UNOFFICIAL DEFINITION OF A RECESSION, BUT THE ESTIMATES FOR GDP GROWTH CONTINUE TO DEC DECLINE. THERE DOES APPEAR TO BE A SLOWING. I THINK THAT IS THE DOOM AND GLOOM THAT HI WANT TO SHARE YOU WITH TODAY. . THIS THE SHORT TERM, WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF SUMMER, RIGHT. HIGH ACTIVITY, VOLATILITY ASSOCIATED WITH RAINSTORMS. OBVIOUSLY VOLATILITY ASSOCIATED WITH HURRICANES. YOU HAVE PARK AND RECREATION, POLICE AND FIRE AND WHAT THE SUMMER -- WHAT HAPPENS OVER THE SUMMER WITH THOSE EXPENSES. THANK YOU, AGAIN. I ALWAYS APPRECIATE YOUR PATIENCE AND LITTLE WOR WONKY. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THERE ARE QUESTIONS. START WITH COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK AND WORK DOWN TO THE RIGHT AND FINISH OFF YOU WITH COUNCIL MEMBER CARLSON. COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK. >>LYNN HURTAK: WAY TONIGHT IS A -- I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU, FIRST OF ALL. THIS IS COMPREHENSIVE HEN SIEVE. WANT TO THANK YOUR TEAM. WE WENT THROUGH TWO HURRICANES. AND IN THIS BUDGET YEAR WHERE WE ARE IS VERY IMPRESSIVE AND I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR THAT. IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY, I WOULD ASK THAT YOU E-MAIL THAT TO OUR BUDGET ADVISORY COMMITTEE. >>DENNIS ROGERO: HE NOT BUT I WILL. >>LYNN HURTAK: THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT. ON MY LIST ALREADY BEFORE MR. SCAGLIONE WALKED IN THE ROOM. I REITERATED THAT REPORT. THEE NEED TO SEE A COPY OF THAT BEFORE THEIR NEXT MEETING. >>DENNIS ROGERO: AND WE WILL MAKE IT AVAILABLE ON OUR WEB SITE. >>LYNN HURTAK: MY SECOND QUESTION SO FOLKS CAN LOOK AT IT. MY MAIN QUESTION ABOUT THE PERSONNEL EXPENDITURES BUT THAT'S WHAT I WILL LEAVE FOR NOW. THANK YOU. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCIL MEMBER MANISCALCO. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU. ALWAYS A WONDERFUL PRESENTATION. CONSUMER TAXES FLAT LINED. KNOW THAT WAS IN TREMENDOUS DECLINE BECAUSE OF CELL PHONES AND THE LACK OF LAND LINES AND WHATNOT. BUT AT LEAST FOR NOW, WE ARE NOT JUST HEMORRHAGING. WE ARE NOT HEMORRHAGING BUT NOT RECEIVING THAT KIND OF INCOME. THE PERSONNEL CASTS ARE STAGGERING. YOU KNOW, WE WENT THROUGH THE -- WE WENT THROUGH THE RECESSION AND HAD THE MASS LAYOFFS. BUT WE SLOWLY RECOVERED BUT WHAT A JUMP FROM PRECOVID 2019 NUMBERS UNTIL NOW. NOT QUITE 200 MILLION, BUT $170 MILLION OR $180 MILLION. AND TO COME BACK FROM -- DO WE NEED ALL THAT MANPOWER? CAN WE FUNCTION AND HAVE THE SAME QUALITY SERVICES WITHOUT HAVING TO SPEND ALL THIS MONEY. ALL THESE INDIVIDUALS. WE WANT TO BE COMPETITIVE AND OFFER GOOD SALARIES BUT NOT CHEAP TO LIVE IN TAMPA, BUT THAT HUGE INCREASE. THIS CAME UP WHEN THE MILLAGE PROPOSAL CAME UP TWO YEARS AGO HOW THESE NUMBERS HAVE SHOT UP. WE NEED TO BE MINDFUL GOING FORWARD BECAUSE WE ARE IN WILD ECONOMIC TIMES. EVERY DAY IS SOMETHING DIFFERENT YOU KNOW. SEE HOW THE TARIFFS HAVE IMPACTED PEOPLE. I HAVE SEEN IT PERSONALLY. I HAVE SEEN IT ON A GLOBAL SCALE. MIRACULOUSLY FROM THE MARK TANKING THE STOCK MARKET. BECAUSE THE TARIFF SITUATIONS, THE STOCK MARKET IS STRONG. MARKED CHANGED NEXT WEEK. WHATEVER THE NEW CELLS AND ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY AND WE ARE IN A GOOD POSITION BECAUSE AND COUNCIL AND YOU AND YOUR ENTIRE TEAM. BUT, AGAIN, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IS AROUND THE CORNER. HIGH INTEREST RATES. HOUSING PRICES ARE COOLING. WAGES ARE NOT GOING UP. THE COST OF GOODS ARE GOING UP AND THEY WILL CONTINUE TO GO UP. IF YOU SEE COUNTRY BY COUNTRY, YOU KNOW, PERCENTAGE -- 10% TARIFF COULD BE A 25% TARIFF AND I HAVE SEEN THOSE DIRECTLY. A LOT OF THINGS ARE BECOMING EVEN MORE UNED FORABLE. I DON'T KNOW THE SITUATION IN THE MIDDLE EAST. WHAT WILL HAPPEN WITH OIL PRICES. THAT IS ANOTHER -- IS IT GOING TO BE A $5 A GALLON SUMMER? I DON'T KNOW. BUT STILL, I LIKE TO PREPARE FOR THE WORSE, AND I KNOW DO YOU. AS WAS MENTIONED EARLIER IN THE HURRICANES, THAT WAS QUITE ABOVE. AND WE HAVE FEMA REIMBURSEMENT. WE ARE COVERED TO A CERTAIN DEGREE. AT THE SAME TIME, I HOPE FOR A -- FOR A VERY LONG -- MANY YEARS OF -- AROUND THE CORNER, COULD BE FACING DISASTER. UNPRECEDENTED DISASTER. WE NEED TO BE MINDFUL WITH OUR MONEY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP. BUT I ALWAYS LIKE PREPARE FOR THE WORSE, BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHAT TOMORROW BRINGS. THANK YOU. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I HAVE TO ECHO THE SAME THING MY TWO COLLEAGUES SPOKE ABOUT. STRAIGHTFORWARDNESS, THE ABILITY TO PUT IT LIKE IT IS AND TELL THE FACTS. WHEN YOU LOOK AT TODAY, LIKE I SAID, NOT A HUMAN BEING IN THE UNITED STATES HO IS NOT CURIOUS OR NERVOUS ABOUT SOMETHING GOING ON. EVERY DAY SOMETHING NEW. EVERY DAY SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAT HAS BEEN LOOKED AT BUT NEVER DONE BEFORE MAYBE AND TARIFFS, 110%. 150% AND THEN 120% TO THE SAME INDIVIDUAL. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS. IF IT IS THE FACTS AND TRYING TO SCARE SOMEBODY AND TELL PEOPLE WHAT THEY HAVE TO DO IN OTHER XUFTS. WE ARE GETTING TO THE POINT WHERE THIS COUNTRY, INDIVIDUALS THAT LIVE IN THIS COUNTRY ARE GETTING MORE AND MORE ACCEPT RATED FROM REALITY. AND THE REASON FOR THAT IS REALITY, WE DON'T ROW WHERE IT IS ANYMORE. YOU LOOK AT THOSE FACTORS, NO MATTER WHO THE PRESIDENT IS, YOU GET NERVOUS. NO MATTER THE PARTY, YOU GET NERVOUS. THESE ARE THINGS GOING ON. AND REMEMBER, WE ARE IN A REFLECTION THE PEOPLE THAT SUPPORT US. WE ARE TRYING TO SUPPORT THEM AS MUCH AS THEY SUPPORT US. THOSE ARE OUR CITIZENS. SO I THINK WE HAVE DONE A PRETTY GOOD YEOMAN'S JOB. ALWAYS ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT. AND LOOK FOR YOUR FINAL REPORT COMING UP AND THE BUDGET BEING PRESENTED IN AUGUST. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBER CARLSON. >>BILL CARLSON: COULD SOMEBODY PUT THE PRESENTATION BACK ON PAGE -- >>DENNIS ROGERO: APOLOGIZE, SIR. >>BILL CARLSON: PAGE 7. CAN WE LOOK AT PAGE 7 PLEASE. KCHL WE PUT IT ON SCREEN. >>BILL CARLSON: ON THE SCREEN PLEASE. WE SEE IT. JUST FOR THE PUBLIC NOW. >>DENNIS ROGERO: OH, YOU CAN SEE IT? >>BILL CARLSON: BACK UP TO PAGE 7. >>DENNIS ROGERO: I AM HAVING TO SQUINT SO IF I PASS IT. THANK YOU, SORRY. >>BILL CARLSON: ONE OF THE QUESTIONS I GET A LOT IS WHAT -- WHAT IS THE CITY DOING WITH ALL THE INCREASE IN PROPERTY TAXES. THE ANSWER ON PAGE 7 IS, IF I READ IT CORRECTLY, IS THE ADDITION IN THE LAST YEAR WAS $20 MILLION. CORRECT? >>DENNIS ROGERO: BETWEEN WHICH YEARS? >>BILL CARLSON: LAST YEAR AN THIS YEAR. ABOUT A $20 MINUTE INCREASE. >>DENNIS ROGERO: YES, SIR. >>BILL CARLSON: PROPERTY TAXES WENT TO $50,000. BECAUSE WHEN THEY MOVED IN THE PERSON WAS HOMESTEADED FOR 50 YEARS AGO. AND THE TAX DIDN'T GO UP. WE HAVEN'T RAISED THE AD VALOREM RATE AND HAVEN'T BEEN RAISED IN TEN YEARS, BUT THE PROPERTY VALUES ARE GOING UP. BUT $20 MILLION. IF YOU LOOK AT THE OVERALL BUDGET OF THE CITY AND WE GO BACK TO PAGE 4. IF YOU LOOK AT PAGE 4, IT IS 20 MILLION IS A VERY SMALL -- 20 MILLION IS RELATIVELY SMALL PART OF THE BUDGET AND THIS IS A GOOD POINT TO TELL PEOPLE IS THE -- THE PUBLIC SAFETY IS $401 MILLION. AND THEN IF YOU -- ON PAGE 7, PROPERTY TAXES WILL BE $358 MILLION. AND THAT IS ROUGHLY ABOUT 89%. POINT IS THAT PEOPLE SAY WHERE IS MY PROPERTY TACKS GOING. PROPERTY TACKS ALL TOGETHER PAY 90% OF POLICE AND FIRE. AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR PEOPLE, DAYS THEY THINK THAT PROPERTY TAXES -- I GIVE THE MESSAGE AND YOU DID YOU TOO. >>DENNIS ROGERO: GOOD THAT YOU ARE PUTTING OUT. >>BILL CARLSON: EVERYTHING ELSE IS PAID THROUGH THESE OTHER PARTS. ALSO COULD WE GO TO PAGE -- THE FUND BALANCE PAGE? >>DENNIS ROGERO: YES, SIR. PAGE 15. >>BILL CARLSON: 15. YEAH, I AM A BROKEN RECORD ON THIS. BUT WHEN PAM IORIO LEFT IN THE -- AFTER THE GREAT RECESSION WAS OVER WHEN SHE LEFT. WHEN SHE LEFT IN 2011, DURING THE GREAT RECESSION, SHE HAD $150 MILLION HERE. AND THAT IS WHERE WE ARE TODAY. WHEN GOT ON COUNCIL, YOU SEE WELL THE YEAR BEFORE I GOT ON COUNCIL, $87 MILLION, $83 MILLION LEFT IN THE BALANCE. USUALLY WHAT YOU DO SAVE MONEY IN THE GOOD TIMES AND SPEND THE MONEY IN THE BAD TIME. WHAT HAPPENED IN THE REVERSE, THEIR MONEY WAS RAIDED DURING THE GOOD TIMES AND WE ON CITY COUNCIL, WE DIDN'T KNOW THAT THE CODE WAS COMING OR WHAT WAS COME BUG WE COULD SEE THE BALANCE WAS TOO LOW. THANK YOU FOR WORKING WITH US TO INCREASE THAT. BUT THE POINT IS WE JUST NOW GOT TO THE 2011 LEVEL WHICH IS GOOD NEWS BUT BAD NEWS BECAUSE IT SHOULD BE HIGHER. LAST THING IS, HOW COME -- SO MANY PEOPLE ASKING OF STORMWATER WHERE THE STORMWATER IS GOING. HOW COME THAT IS NOT BROKEN OUT LIKE IN PAGE 4 OR THE ENTERPRISE FUNDS. TWO DIFFERENT FUNDS FOR STORMWATER. HOW COME THEY ARE NOT SEPARATELY BROKEN OUT. >>DENNIS ROGERO: THE SIMPLEST ANSWER TO THAT, STARTING THE PAL BETWEEN TOO DETAILED AND A -- AND A MACRO PICTURE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH THE CITY. >>BILL CARLSON: DO I NEED TO MAKE A MOTION? >>DENNIS ROGERO: YOU ARE WELCOME TO BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO. WE CAN BRING THAT BACK TO YOU. >>BILL CARLSON: HELPFUL FOR THE PUBLIC TO SEE ON EACH OF THOSE FUNDS WHAT THE REVENUES ARE AND TO SEE IT OVER TIME AND IDEALLY HOW THEY ARE APPLIED. BUT JUST BROKE OUT OF THIS SO THE PUBLIC CAN SEE IT. THANK YOU. APPRECIATE THE TRANSPARENCY ON THIS. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: MIRANDA ARE YOU GOOD? >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: [ INAUDIBLE ] -- TOTAL AMOUNT OF MONEY COLLECTED IN AD VALOREM DOES NOT PAY FOR FIRE AND POLICE. >>LYNN HURTAK: CORRECT. >>DENNIS ROGERO: I APPRECIATE YOU POINTING THAT OUT AND YOU WILL SEE A MORE DETAILED COMPASSION OF THE REVENUES IN OUR BUDGET PRESENTATION. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK. >>LYNN HURTAK: THAT IS WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY NOT ONLY WOULD I LIKE IT FOR THIS YEAR BUT GOING FORWARD IN '26 TO SEE -- >>DENNIS ROGERO: SORRY, MA'AM. STORMWATER? >>LYNN HURTAK: STORMWATER FOR 2026. >>BILL CARLSON: TWO DIFFERENT FUNDS. >>LYNN HURTAK: YOU ARE ASKING RECENT NOW. BUT WHEN THEY BRING AT THAT BACK FOR '26, WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT. >>BILL CARLSON: I RECOMMEND GOING BACK TO 2015 WHEN THE SECOND ONE WAS PASSED TO SHOW HOW MUCH IT HAS BEEN AND WHERE IT IS GOING. >>LYNN HURTAK: MY QUESTION WAS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WORKED AGUILAR A COUNCIL TO -- WITH YOURSELF TO FIND THE EXTRA REVENUE FROM FY-24. WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS WAS INCLUDED IN THESE NUMBERS IN THE MOVEMENT. >>DENNIS ROGERO: IT IS, MA'AM. AND I HAVE AN UPDATE FOR YOU ON THIS PARTICULAR SUBJECT IF YOU HAVE -- IF YOU HAVE TIME. I CAN -- I CAN SUMMARIZE IT. WE REVIEWED THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS BY COUNCIL WITH THE MAYOR WHAT WE ARE WAITING ON AND RECEIVED JUST A LITTLE WHILE AGO WAS PROPERTY TAX VALUE RUES FOR FISCAL YEAR '26. WE ARE ANALYZING THAT AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE KNOW AS WERE AS WE CAN KNOW BEFORE WE COME BACK TO CITY COUNCIL FOR A RECOMMENDATION FOR THAT FUNDING. AND, AGAIN, JUST TO -- STORMWATER FUNDING WAS RESURFACING, PAVING, SIDEWALKS. >>LYNN HURTAK: WHEN WOULD WE EXPECT TO GET THAT? >>DENNIS ROGERO: ALL DEPENDS ON WHEN QUICK ANALYZE THE CERTIFIED PROPERTY VALUE AND GET TO THE MAYOR. I DON'T ANTICIPATE IT WILL BE VERY LONG. >>LYNN HURTAK: OKAY, BECAUSE WE ALREADY ALLOCATED THAT. THAT SHOULD BE IN THOSE BUCKETS WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE. >> IT IS AND I THOUGHT I HAD BROUGHT AN ELMO. >>DENNIS ROGERO: I WILL SHOW NEW YOUR COMPREHENSIVE -- >>LYNN HURTAK: SKILL ONE M-- I WILL ASK ONE MORE QUESTION. WITH HOW SUCCESSFUL THIS WAS, I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE GO FORWARD AND DOING FOR FY '25. JUST BE PREPARED THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS AGAIN BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD EXERCISE AND IT REALLY HELPED TO TALK THROUGH THE COMMUNITY WHAT WE HAVE LEFT AND WHERE IT SHOULD GO. >>DENNIS ROGERO: I AGREE. >>LYNN HURTAK: YES, THAT'S WHAT I AM SAYING. FOR THE EXTRA FY '25. >>DENNIS ROGERO: BECAUSE THAT WAS '24. >>LYNN HURTAK: I AM TALKING OF '25. >>DENNIS ROGERO: THE NORM GOING FORWARD. >>LYNN HURTAK: I THOUGHT IT WAS VERY GOOD. THANK YOU SO MUCH. GREATLY APPRECIATE IT. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: 2345U FOR YOUR DILIGENCE. STORMWATER IS A GOOG SEGUE TO NEXT AND THE FINANCE TEAM. AND SPEAKING OF STORMWATER. BRANDON. 99. I -- WE HAVE 27 MINUTES. >> BRAN DONE CAMPBELL: I WILL GO VICTORY. INTERIM DIRECTOR OF, I WILL DO A UPDATE ON K-BAR RANCH. THERE ARE APPROVED ROADWAY PLANS IN THE PLN. ONE WEST DEPARTMENT TO REVIEW THAT. ONCE THAT IS DONE, THERE WILL GO TO A RIGHT-OF-WAY PERMIT. AND IT IS A DEVELOPER LED. SO THE TIMELINE IS A BIT UNCERTAIN SO WE WOULD ANTICIPATE WITHIN THE NEXT TWO YEARS OF ANTICIPATING THAT GETTING CONSTRUCTED. HAPPY TO KEEP THAT DIALOGUE OPEN. >>LYNN HURTAK: WHAT IS PLM. >> AN INFRASTRUCTURE CONSTRUCTION PLAN. >>LUIS VIERA: MAY QUESTION A QUICK QUESTION? >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA. >>LUIS VIERA: PARDON MY VOICE, WHAT DEVELOPER? >> BRANDON CAMPBELL: I THINK I KNOW BUT I WILL FOLLOW UP WITH YOU. REAL QUICKLY ON OUR OPERATIONS DIVISIONS, STORMWATER PROGRESS FOR THE MONTH OF MAY HAVE. IT WAS -- WE DO HAVE A REPORT THAT WILL BE REVIEWING QUICKLY AN HIGHLIGHTING THAT IS ON OUR WEB SITE TAMPA.GOV/MOBILITY. BEFORE I GET INTO THE MEAT OF THAT, A COUPLE OF OTHER STORMWATER ISSUES THAT I THOUGHT WILL BE OF ISSUE. SUN BELT RENTALS FOR OUR TEMPORARY GENERATORS TO BRIDGE THE GAP FOR -- BETWEEN NOW AND WHEN WE HAVE PERMANENT AGAIN RATERS DESIGNED AND I BELIEVE SPIDER-MAN STALLED AT OUR PUMP STATIONS. WE ESPECIALLY THAT BEING BEING A TWO-YEAR PROCESS BEFORE IT IS ALL OF COMPLETE. ADDITIONALLY WE HAVE ISSUED NOTICES TO PROCEED FOR THE IT HE SIGN PORTION OF THE PERMANENT GENERATOR INSTALLATIONS. ALSO WE ARE CONTINUING TO HAVE OUR STORMWATER OPERATIONS CREW WORK SIX DAY AS WEEK. LAST THING BEFORE GET INTO THE REPORT, I WASN'TED TO LEAPT YOU KNOW WE WAS AN ADDITIONAL DITCH GRADING CONTRACT THAT WE ANTICIPATE BEING ON YOUR CONSENT AGENDA ON JULY 1. WE ARE STILL DOING DITCH GRADING BUT ADDITIONAL CAPACITY ON TOP OF THOSE CONTRACTORS THAT WE HAVE MOBILIZED RECENTLY. SO -- I WILL BE USING THE WOLF. AND JUST HINT REAL QUICK HIGHLIGHTS ON THE MAY 2025 STORMWATER MAINTENANCE REPORT. YOU CAN SEE THAT YEAR AFTER YEAR, OUR CALLS FOR SERVICE HAVE INCREASED. THAT IS NOT TERRIBLY SURPRISING GIVING THE WET CONDITIONS THAT WE HAD LAST YEAR AND THE INCREASED FOCUS ON STORMWATER MAINTENANCE. CUMULATIVELY IN THE FIRST FIVE MONTHS OF 2025, WE HAD 2 50 ADDITIONAL CALLS OVER THAT SAME TIME PERIOD LAST YEAR. I DO ANTICIPATE THE PERCENTAGE DELTA MONTH TO MONTH TO LEVEL OUT SINCE IT WAS SO LAST YEAR AND SEE HOW THAT PLAYS OUT. BUT I DON'T SEE OR ANTICIPATE AS DRAMATIC AN INCREASE IN THE REQUEST FOR SERVICE ON A MONTH FOR MONTH BASIS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE YEAR. WE DID WORK AT 12 DIFFERENT NEIGHBORHOODS THAT ARE LISTED ON THE TOP OF THIS NEXT PAGE. OUR DETAILED ACCOMPLISHMENTS ARE ALSO ON THAT PAGE. TWO THINGS I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT FOR YOU. HIGHLIGHTED IN ORANGE, WE DID REMOVE 650-PLUS TONS OF DEBRIS FROM OUR SYSTEM BETWEEN THE DEVIL DICHS DICHS, PIPES AND STREET SWEEPING AND HALF OF THAT IT SIEVE. ON TOP OF THAT, WE REMOVED OVER EIGHT TONS OF GARBAGE FROM THE SYSTEM. AND JUST A QUICK NOTE ON TAKEN OWNERSHIP OF WHAT IS IN YOUR SURROUNDINGS. AND CERTAINLY DON'T WANT TO ENCOURAGE -- WANT TO DISCOURAGE LITTERING AND ANY SORT OF DEBRIS GETTING IN THE SYSTEM TO THE EXTENT PEOPLE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO PREVENT THAT. WE HAVE A FEW PICTURES WITHIN THE REPORT AS WELL. BEFORE AND AFTER WORK OPERATIONS. I DID WANT TO HIGHLIGHT -- YOU KNOW SOMETHING THAT AS I WAS LOOKING A THIS THAT CAME TO MIND IS THAT WE DO PUT THESE AFTER PICTURES IN THESE DITCH DITCHING OPERATIONS AS AFTER THE FLOW LINE WAS ESTABLISHED SO BASICALLY AFTER WE CLEAN OUT THE MUCK, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE KNOW WE DO RECEDE AFTER THAT AND THE EXPECTATION THAT LOW LINE REGISTRATION GROWTH HEMS WITH EROSION CONTROL, WALL WATER QUALITY. WE GO OUT AND MOW ON A 28-DAY CYCLE. THERE WILL BE SOME VEGETATION THERE AND HELP WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF THE SYSTEM OVERALL. LIKE-WISE DITCHING OPERATION ON ROME AVENUE AS WELL. WE HAVE CONTINUED TO REPAIR STORMWATER CAVE-INS WITH IN HOUSE AND CONTRACTOR HELP. IN THE MONTH OF MAY, THERE ARE 45 CAVE-IN REPAIRS OF STORMWATER CAVE-INS. WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IS DISTINCT FROM THE WASTEWATER CAVE-INS THAT THAT DEPARTMENT IS WORKING DILL GENTLY ON AS WELL. TYPICALLY THAT INVOLVES A MORE COMPREHENSIVE DYING NOTHING PART-- DIAGNOSTIC AND WE ARE ABLE TO RESPOND TO ROUTINE POTHOLE PATCHING REQUESTS IN 27 HOURS OR LESS. CAVE-INS FIGURING OUT WHAT IS GOING ON A WITH THE PIPE, FIXING THAT AND FILLING IN THE ROAD SURFACE ON TOP OF IT. WE DID ALSO HAVE CREWS THAT DO SMALLER TO MID-SIZED CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS. TEAMS WE DO SOME REPAIRS LIKE WHAT WE DID AT WYNWOOD. PICTURE REPAIR OF AN INLAND TOP. IF IT IS IN-KIND REPLACEMENT REPAIR SOMETHING THEY ARE GENERALLY HANDLING ON THEIR OWN. ENHANCEMENT TO THE SYSTEM AND ADDED TO THE DRAINAGE CAPACITY AND MODIFYING IT. THEY HAVE WORKED OFF OF PLANS THAT ARE SIGNED AND SEALED BY ONE OF OUR SEVEN ENGINEERS WITHIN OUR STORMWATER ENGINEERING DIVISION. JUST A REAL QUICK HIGHLIGHT. THEY DO A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS THAT IS RELATED TO THE STORMWATER SYSTEM THAT INCLUDES THINGS THAT MIGHT NOT THINK OF LIKE FENCE REPAIR. COUPLE OF THOSE IN THE MONTH OF MAY. WE DO HAVE OVER COURSE OF THE CURRENT MONTH. AYE DIFFERENT NEIGHBORHOODS THAT WE WILL BE IN. AND SOMETHING I ALSO DIDN'T MENTION WHERE WE HAVE BEEN APPENDED TO THIS REPORT, WE HAD I THINK 30 PAGES OF REALLY DETAILED DATA THAT SHOW WHERE WE WERE. THE REFERENCE SYSTEM USED BY OUR WORK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM GOES BACK TO ATLAS PAGE. QUICKER TO NAVIGATE. A COUPLE OF STEPS IF YOU WERE COMING AT IT, AND YOU WANT TO SEE EXACTLY WHERE THEY ARE. MY INTENT IS TO REFINE THAT PROCESS AND THERE WILL BE SOME ADMINISTRATIVELY -- SOME LABOR INVESTMENT ON THE FRONT END OF OUR TEAM, OUR GIS TEAM TO GET THAT INTO A FORMAT THAT IS A LITTLE USER-FRIENDLY. WE DIDN'T WANT TO PUT THAT YOU IN FOR REFERENCE OF THOSE THAT HAVE THE INTEREST IN TAKING A LOOK AT IT. OF COURSE IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS OF SPECIFIC LOCATIONS, WE CAN HELP NAVIGATE YOU THROUGH THEM. AS ALWAYS, WE DO LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT IF YOU HAVE A CONCERN THAT WANT TO REPORT DIRECTLY TO OUR DEPARTMENT, OUR CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE 813-274-3101, BUT USE THE TAMPA CONNECT.COM SYSTEM FOR INTAKE AS WELL. WITH THAT SAID, WANTED TO JUST BLITZ THROUGH THAT. KNOW THAT YOU ARE PRESSED FOR TIME. BUT IF YOU HAD ANY QUESTIONS, I AM HAPPY TO ADDRESS THEM. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU, BRANDON FOR THE COMPREHENSIVE REPORT. AND I SAW COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA'S LIGHT BUT NOW IT IS OFF AND COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK AND COUNCIL MEMBER MANISCALCO. >>LYNN HURTAK: I WANT TO THANK YOU SO MUCH BECAUSE THE LITERAL FIRST QUESTION IS WHERE IN EACH NEIGHBORHOOD. I LOVE THAT YOU ARE SAYING THAT THE REPORT IS ON THE WEB SITE. AGAIN THAT WEB SITE IS. >> TAMPA.GOV/MOBILITY. AND A LITTLE BIT FURTHER DOWNSCROLL DOWN. WITHIN -- OUR PAVING REPORT IS NEXT TO IT AND SOME METRICS ON THE PAGE. >>LYNN HURTAK: WONDERFUL. I ASK THAT THERE IS SOME -- SOME LABOR HOURS NEEDED TO WORK ON REVISING THAT AND REFINING THAT. IF THERE ARE ADDITIONAL FUNDING NEEDED FOR THAT, JUST LET US KNOW. >> BRANDON CAMPBELL: THANK YOU. -- OUR GIS TEAM WILL HELP ME UNDERSTAND WHAT LEVEL OF EFFORT IS REARED, BUT I DO THINK THAT THEY WILL BE ABLE TO REFINE THAT AS WELL. WE ARE NOT GOING TO PULL STORMWATER OPERATIONS PERSONNEL OFF THE STREET TO DO THAT SORT OF THING. >>LYNN HURTAK: OF COURSE. BUT IF YOU NEED IT, WE HAVE DEMONSTRATED POUR DESIRE SO THE PUBLIC CAN UNDERSTAND MORE CLEARLY IF THAT IS A BARRIER AT ALL, LET US KNOW. >> BRANDON CAMPBELL: THANK YOU. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU, COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK. COUNCIL MEMBER MANISCALCO. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT PRESENTATION. I SEE THE E-MAIL THREADS OF YOU RESPONDING TO CONSTITUENTS AND DO YOU A FANTASTIC JOB. >> BRIAN CAMPBELL: THANK YOU. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: SPOKE TO SOMEBODY AND SAID THAT BRANDON CAMPBELL IS DOING A TREMENDOUS JOB BECAUSE YOU PERSONALLY RESPOND TO A CONSTITUENT. I SPOKE TO A CON STITCH THEN IT WENT MORNING. PAM CANELLA. I KNOW SHE HAS REQUESTED SERVICE IN HER NEIGHBORHOOD. BUT SHE HAD MENTIONED THAT SHE IS WATCHING THE CREW GOES OUT, CLEANING OUT AND DOING THE MAINTENANCE AND THEY ARE MOVING A HUGE AMOUNT OF DEBRIS. SO WE HAVE MAJOR PROJECTS THAT ARE ON OUR PLATE NOW. AND PROBABLY FROM THE PAST. BUT I MADE THE ANALOGY OF, YOU KNOW, IT IS REALLY ABOUT MAINTENANCE. YOU DON'T HAVE TO DIG UP EVERYTHING AND PUT A BRAND-NEW SYSTEM EVERY TIME. IT COMES TO MAINTENANCE. FOR EXAMPLE FROM YOUR CAR REQUIRES MAINTENANCE AND IT BREAKS DOWN YOU REPAIR THE CAR. YOU DON'T BOO I A -- DON'T BUY A BRAND-NEW CAR. SHE SAID YOU WATCH IN CERTAIN AREAS WHO YOU THEY ARE AFTER SOME OF THESE PRETTY TOUGH AFTERNOON STORMS THAT WE HAVE BEEN RECEIVING IN THIS LAST MONTH OR SO. AND SHE SAID SHE HAS SEEN A TREMENDOUS IMPROVEMENT. THIS IS HER. I DRIVE AROUND. I TRY TO SEE WHAT GOES ON IN THE CITY. NOT EVERYTHING IS PERFECT AND WE NEED TO DO A LOT OF WORK, BUT THE AREAS THAT THE CITY HAS GONE IN AND DONE THAT CLEANUP AND TAKEN OUT THAT DEBRIS, WHETHER IT IS DITCHES, CULVERTS, YOU NAME IT. I HAVE SEEN IMPROVEMENTS. NOT EVERYONE HAS SEEN IT, BUT IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS, YOU MADE A TREMENDOUS DIFFERENCE. YOU, YOUR TEAM. AS COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK ALREADY MENTIONED IF YOU NEED MORE MONEY, LET US KNOW. WE WILL HAVE A DEDICATED FUND WITH THE ASSESSMENT AND WITH THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS. A MATTER IF I CAN IMPROVE AND INCREASE OUR MAINTENANCE, YOU KNOW OUR PRODUCTIVITY THERE AND JUST REALLY MAKE A DENT AND A DIFFERENCE BY KEEPING THE SYSTEM CLEAN, I AM ALL FOR IT. BUT I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW THAT I HEARD IT NOT JUST FOR HER ABOUT YOU MANY CON STITCHES AND YOU HAVE SEEN THE E-MAILS AND PROVIDE GOOD CUSTOMERS SERVICE AND YOU PERSONALLY ARE RESPONDING. I SAYS A LOT. A PERSON IN YOUR POSITION. YOU ARE HIGHER UP, BUT YOU ARE TALKING DIRECTLY TO THE CITIZENS. AND OUR OFFICE APPRECIATES IT, BECAUSE AS MANY OF US DO, ALL YOU HAVE DOUSE, WE GET INUNDATED CALLS FOR SERVICE AND COMPLAINTS AND WHAT NOT. SEE US ON SOCIAL MEDIA. PEOPLE POST PICTURES AND WANT TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. THANK YOU AND YOU ARE DOING A GREAT JOB. >> BRANDON CAMPBELL: THANK YOU. >>BILL CARLSON: I DON'T MEAN TO SOUND LIKE A BROKEN RECORD BUT WE HAVE COME NOT SAME CON. YOU ONLY HAVE BEEN WORKING IN THIS POSITION FOR A COUPLE WEEKS AND I HAVE SEEN A BIG DIFFERENCE IN COMMUNION CHASE. JEFF DDEBOSIER AND BUY FROM IAN AND THEY HAVE BEEN VERY RESPONSIVE. AND PLACES IN SOUTH TAMPA THAT FLOODED ALL FOR DIFFERENT REASONS. NO CONSISTENT REASONS A. AND HELPFUL AND GOING. THE ANSWER IS NOT -- WE HAVE AN ITEM IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS THAT TALK ABOUT AREAS THAT USED TO BE DRAINAGE PITS OR ACT AS DRAINAGE PITS. WHAT DO WE DO WITH THOSE AND I THINK WE HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB COMMUNICATING BAD NEWS THAT THERE IS NO SHORT-TERM SOLUTION. AND TO THE MONEY ISSUE, A FEW FOLKS HAVE BEEN SAYING THAT WE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY. WE DO HAVE THE MONEY. AND I SAID THIS PUBLICLY AND TALKED TO THE CHIEF OF STAFF ABOUT THIS. WE HAVE THE MONEY FOR THE SOUTH TOWER PROJECT. BY DON'T WANT TO GET IN A LONG DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT, BUT THAT PROJECT WILL NOT BE VERY EFFECTIVE AND THE PUBLIC MEETING WAS A DISASTER. EVEN THE FEW PEOPLE FOR IT THOUGHT THE PUBLIC MEETING WHAT WAS DISASTER. NEED TO POSTPONE THAT PROJECT FOR A YEAR OR TWO AND REDIRECT. $85 MILLION TO $100 MILLION PLUS. IF WE TOOK 20 MILLION OR $40 MILLION OF IT TODAY AND REALLOCATE IT TO THE MAINTENANCE AND ALL THESE PLACES, WE COULD GET KIMMINS STILL TO DO THE CONTRACT. THEY ARE EXCELLENT AT IT. GET THEM TO REDIRECT AND GO DO THE -- WE COULD SAVE THOUSANDS INSTEAD OF 11. AND WE NEED TO -- WE NEED TOE SERIOUSLY DO THE MAINTENANCE AND THE WORK. OTHER THING IS, FEW YEARS AGO AT THE REQUEST FROM THE REQUEST OF THE COMMUNITY. DOUBLED THE FINES FOR PEOPLE BLOWING YARD WASTE IN THE STREET AND INCLUDES BLOWING IT INTO THE DRAINAGE AREA. NEIGHBOR THE OTHER DAY SAW SOMEBODY'S HOUSE FLOODED. THEIR LANDSCAPING PEOPLE WERE PUSHING THE YARD WASTE INTO THE DRAINAGE. IT IS JUST CRAZY THIS IS STILL HAPPENING. I THINK -- I THINK WE ASKED THIS BEFORE BUT IF YOU CAN WORK IN COMMUNICATION AND EDUCATION OF HOMEOWNERS AND EDUCATION OF LANDSCAPING COMPANIES, BUT IT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE THAT THAT IS STILL HAPPENING. AND PEOPLE ARE ALSO REPORTING THAT PEOPLE WORKING FOR THE CITY ARE DOING IT. BUT PEOPLE ARE GOING IN. WHEN STORMS ARE HITTING, THEY SEE THESE DRAINAGE THINGS. THEM PERSONALLY GO INTO RECORDING THEMSELVES PULLING TREES AND BRANCHS AND IT IS DANGEROUS, BUT WE -- YOU KNOW 2015 WHEN THE NEW TAX WAS PASSED. A PROMISE THAT MAINTENANCE WOULD BE DONE EVERY THREE YEARS AND MOST PLACES IN SOUTH TAMPA IT NEVER HAS BEEN DONE OR DONE IN DECADES. YOU ALL ARE MAKING GREAT PROGRESS BUT TEN YEARS OF NEGLECT THAT WE ARE MAKING UP FOR. AND IF WE REDIRECTED SOME MONEY, WE CAN DO IT QUICKLY. AND ALSO IF WE TOLD PEOPLE DON'T POUR THE YARD WASTE INTO THE DRAINAGE MAY HELP A LOT TOO. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THANK YOU, MR. CARLSON. THANK YOU, VERY MUCH, THERE WERE CAMPBELL FOR YOUR PRESENTATION AND FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE WITH STORMWATER. I AM SURE YOU WILL TAKE THE SAME AMOUNT OF AMOUNT AND GET A STREETCAR BUILT. >> OKAY, THANK YOU. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WE HAVE AN IOU ON ITEMTH 4 THAT MR. ROGERO -- ITEMTH 4, THAT MR. ROGERO, YOU HAVE A RESOLUTION. >>DENNIS ROGERO: YES. GOOD AFTERNOON. DENNIS ROGERO, CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER. I HAVE HARD COPIES FOR YOU. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: YOU KILLED A COUPLE OF EXTRA TREES. >>DENNIS ROGERO: YES, IF WE CAN TUT ON -- >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THE WOLF. >>DENNIS ROGERO: THING ACCOMPLISHES COMPACTLY WHAT COUNCIL'S INTENTION WAS. AND THANK YOU, BUDGET OFFICE, FOR TURNING IT AROUND SO QUICKLY. YOU SEE AGAIN -- I AM SORRY. >> COUNCIL MEMBER HURTAK. >>LYNN HURTAK: THIS IS PERFECT. EXACTLY WHAT I WAS HOPING TO SEE FOR NOW, BUT I WILL REITERATE MY PROMISE TO WORK WITH YOU, MISS COPESKY AND OUR CRA TEAM TO CONTINUE TO SEE WHAT WE CAN DO AS THE 2026 BUDGET MOVES FORWARD. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I NEED A MOTION TO TURN THE RESOLUTION. >>LYNN HURTAK: SO MOVED. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: MOTION FOR THE UNITE ASHLEY PROJECT WITH THE AMENDMENTS AS SOON AS COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK ASKED FOR. SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER MANISCALCO. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE OPPOSED. >>BILL CARLSON: I WANT TO REITERATE FOR ANYONE WATCHING, MOVING MONEY AROUND. IF YOU HAVE INPUT ON A PROJECT, LET TRANSPORTATION PEOPLE KNOW. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: VERY GOOD. THANK YOU SO MUCH. LAST BUT DEFINITELY NOT LEAST, WE HAVE ITEM 100. YES, MA'AM. >>HAGAR KOPESKY: HELLO, HAGAR KOPESKY, BUDGET ANALYST. I WILL TAKE A MOMENT AND SEE IF I CAN GET THIS. YOU. THE REASON I'M HERE TO GIVE YOU A BRIEF CHARTER REVIEW UPDATE ON WHERE WE ARE. I WILL GIVE IT ANOTHER SECOND. SO SINCE THE LAST TIME THIS WAS PERFORMED, THERE HAVE BEEN SOME THINGS THAT CHANGED. THIS YEAR IN '25. AND FROM THIS POINT FORWARD EVERY EIGHT YEARS, THERE WILL BE A COMMISSION OF APPOINTED FOLKS FOR CHARTER REVIEW. THAT COMMISSION IS COMPOSED OF NINE PEOPLE IN TOTAL. SEVEN OF WHICH YOU WILL APPOINT. AND TWO FROM THE MAYOR AND AS FAR AS THE ALTERNATES, ONE OF THOSE COME FROM EACH THE MAYOR AND FROM THE COUNCIL. NEW MEMBERS OF THE CRC CAN BE ELECTED OFFICIALS AND CITY EMPLOYEES. AND EACH OF THE MEMBERS DO NEED TO BE A CITY -- CITY RESIDENT AND ELECTOR. COUPLE OTHER THINGS BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT HAPPENS. VACANCIES, IF THEY DO OCCUR, HAVE TO BE FILLED WITHIN 30 DAYS IN THE SAME MANNER OF WHICH THE ORIGINAL APPOINTMENT WAS DONE. A COUPLE OF THINGS ARE DIFFERENT. THIS TIME AROUND, WE DO HAVE TO HAVE THIRD-PARTY LEGAL COUNCIL. AND WE WILL ALSO BE USING AN EXTERNAL FACILITATOR THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS. AND UNFORTUNATELY, THE PARTICIPANTS DO NOT RECEIVE COMPENSATION. ALL RIGHT, SO, THERE ARE IS VERY HIGH LEVEL AT THAT.AND WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THIS IS MOVING ALONG. I THINK THIS MAY BE UNDERTAKEN TODAY AND INITIALLY WE NEED TO DO THE CREATION OF THE CHARTER ADVISORY COMMITTEE BY OFFERED NANCE. PROBABLY NEXT -- LET'S CALL IT ONE TO TWO MONTHS, WE DO NEED TO MOVE THROUGH THE PROCESS OF SELECTING THAT FACILITATOR AND THE ATTORNEY. THIS GROUP WILL BEGIN THINKING OF APPOINTMENTS THAT THEY WANT TO MAKE TO THE COMMISSION. AND THEN REALLY THERE WILL BE MORE CAL LARIZATION OF MEETINGS AND DURATION THAT WILL OCCUR, BUT BIG MILESTONES STATE FOR WHEN WE WANT THE PRESENTATION OF THE ACTUAL REPORT TO BE PROVIDED TO THE COUNCIL FOR CONSIDERATION. AND THEN SOMEWHERE ROUGHLY IN THE TIME FRAME OF Q 42026, THAT IS WHEN WE WILL NEED TO DO THE CREATION OF THE PROPOSED BALLOT QUESTIONS. AND THE BALLOT VOTED SEVERAL TO COI COINCIDE MARCH OF 2027. NOW IN TERMS OF THE WORD "BUDGET." WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE CLEAR IS WE HAVE DONE AN ESTIMATE OF WHAT THEY WHICH THIS THE SERVICES COST WILL BE BETWEEN BOTH THE ATTORNEY AND THE FACIL FACILITATOR. THAT IS STILL ONGOING AS WE CONTINUE TO REFINE HOW MANY MEET WILLING -- MEETINGS. HOW LONG THE MEETINGS WILL BE. WE WILL LET THE 2026 BUDGET PROGRESS AND MAKE EVERYBODY IN THE COUNCIL AWARE, WE DID INCLUDE A $150,000 PLACE HOLDER TO THEIR BUDGET. SO IT WILL BE REFINED AND IN NO WAY IF IT IS DETERMINED THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE, OBVIOUSLY THAT WILL OCCUR. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: TO BE CLEAR, WE HAVE BEEN MEETING, MYSELF PLANNED SHELBY AND OUR BUDGET AN AL CYST MISS COPESKY ABOUT THIS ITEM. SHE HAS DONE A LOT OF DUE DILIGENCE IN CHECKING WITH OTHER MUNICIPALITIES, OTHER COUNTIES ON WHAT THEY SPENT. TALKING ABOUT THESE TYPE OF PROCESSES. GETTING DOLLAR FIGURES WHAT THE FACILITATOR COST. ONE, I APPRECIATE THE AMOUNT OF WORK YOU HAVE DONE BEHIND THE SCENES INVISIBLE TO THE REST OF THE COUNCIL AT THIS POINT BRINGING IT FORWARD TO US FOR THIS AGENDA ITEM. I DO -- I AM CONFIDENT THAT WE ARE MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. AS SOON AS WE ARE DONE WITHIN THIS DISCUSSION, I DO HAVE THE -- THE MOTION TO ESTABLISH THIS PROCESSES THAT I WILL HAND THE GAVEL OFF, AND WE WILL MOVE FORWARD FOR THAT. ANY QUESTIONS AS SOON AS I SEE THAT COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK AND COUNCIL MEMBER MANISCALCO AND COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA. YOU WANT TO GO FIRST. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: REAL QUICK. THANK YOU VERY. I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE HAVE THESE CHARTER REVIEW COMMISSIONS. I BELIEVE IT WAS COUNCILWOMAN GAFIN YEARS AGO AND SINCE I HAVE BEEN HERE. AND THAT GROUP IMPRESSIVE, AMAZING INDIVIDUALS. AND THEY WORKED SO HARD. I HEARD THE STORIES -- I REMEMBER THE DEBATES. AND JUST A FANTASTIC GROUP. AND GOT ELECTED TO CITY COUNCIL. WILLIAM GROOS GR-- GROSSMAN JR. THE ORIGINAL. I LIKE THAT WE HAVE THIS COMMISSION. BECAUSE THERE ARE LIVELY DISCUSSION. AND, YOU KNOW, OF COURSE, DIFFERENCES IN OPINIONS AND IDEAS AND WHAT NOT, AND THEN IT COMES -- IT GETS BROUGHT TO US. AND, OF COURSE, IT GETS TO THE 2027 BALLOT, BUT, AGAIN, A VERY IMPRESSIVE GROUP OF INDIVIDUAL AND A LOT OF THEM WENT ON CONTINUE TO DO VERY GOOD THINGS. THIS GROUP CROMMING -- COMING UP. CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS HAVE BECOME BUSIER. DEBATE IS MORE SPIRITED. A LOT MORE FOLKS SHOW INTEREST IN GETTING APPOINTED THIS THIS COMMISSION. THIS A BIG DEAL AND SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED EVERY FEW YEARS. AND IT IS TRANSFORMATIVE TO -- TO THEIR ASSISTANCE AND WORK AND IN THE CITIZENS OF THE FUTURE AND THE CITY GOVERNMENT. THIS A BIG DEAL. SAW $150,000 IN THE BUDGET ALLOCATED I THINK. THAT IS WHAT YOU MENTIONED MOVING FORWARD AND THEN FACILITATED THE ATTORNEY OUTSIDE AS I WAS LOOKING IN MAKING OUR CITY A BETTER PLACE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: EVERY EIGHT YEARS BECAUSE THE LAST CHARTER COMMISSION CHANGED FROM TEN TO EIGHT. COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK. >>LYNN HURTAK: THANK YOU. I DO WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT TO JUST SAY WHAT HAPPENED -- THAT COMMISSION -- THAT COMMISSION WE HAD, COUNCIL MEMBER CARLSON, WE HAD COUNCIL MEMBER GUDES. COUNCIL. MEMBER CITRO ON THERE. I WAS IN THERE. NEW AIRPORT CEO MICHAEL STEVENS WAS ON THERE. OUR KEN REMEMBER CITY ATTORNEY AN DRAW ZELMAN WAS ON THERE. MORRIS WAS ON THERE. THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE DOING WORK FOR THE CITY WAS PRETTY AMAZE. I WANT TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO A PLY FOR THIS TELLS THE STORY. I WORKED AS A NEIGHBORHOOD LEADER. THAT IS WRITE GOT STARTED. I APPLIED EITHER TO BE ON THE COMMISSION AND ALTERNATE AND ONLY FOUR I'M WHO WANTED TO BE AN ALTERNATE AND THE OTHER ALTERNATE THAT WAS CHOSEN WAS ORLANDO AND TWO PEOPLE DIDN'T SHOW UP FOR TWO MEETINGS AND BOOM, WE ARE ON. I SAY APPLY FOR THINGS. YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN ALSO WANTED TO TALK TO YOU VERY IMPORTANTLY ABOUT AREA AND ISSUE WE GOT STUCK WITH FOR THE END. I WANT YOU TO ENCOURAGE TO YOU WORK BACKWARD, BECAUSE SHOWING THE COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION, I WOULD WORK WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY BECAUSE THAT WAS THE OTHER ISSUE IF I REMEMBER DIRECTLY WAS GETTING THE WORDING OF THE QUESTIONS FOR THE BATH BALLOT WAS TRICKY. SO I MIGHT -- I THE HIGH. COORDINATE WITH BOTH OUR CITY COUNCIL ATTORNEY AND MISS ZELMAN TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT HOW MUCH TIME WILL BE NECESSARY, AROUND THEN WORK BACKWARDS FROM THERE. I THINK WORKING BACKWARDS IS 100% THE WAY TO GO. WE REALLY STRUGGLED. WE ALMOST DIDN'T MAKE IT. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: SHE HAS BEEN DEALING WITH THE FINANCIAL SIDE OF IT. I THINK SHE GIVES A LOT OF BACKGROUND BECAUSE IF WE WERE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE PROCESS. BUT MR. SHELBY HAS BEEN WORKING ON THESE -- THESE TYPES OF DETAILS AND I THINK THIS WILL BE -- I THINK THAT WILL BE REALLY IMPORTANT AND MINDFUL TO THE STRUCTURE -- LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE OF THE CHARTER REVIEW COMMISSION TO -- YOU KNOW WORKING BACKWARDS OF THAT PROCESS. >>MARTIN SHELBY: IF I CAN, MR. CHAIRMAN HIMSELF REACHED OUT TO THE SETHE SUPERVISOR OF ELECTIO THE DATES -- >>ALAN CLENDENIN: IF WE HAVE TO EXPERIMENT. >>LYNN HURTAK: APPRECIATE THAT YOU ARE WORKING ON THAT BECAUSE THAT IS THE THING THAT WE REALLY FELT WE WERE UNDER THE GUN WITH THAT. WE HAD 18 AMENDMENTS. NERVERACKING. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: VOLUNTEER COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA FOR THE INTERPRETATION OF THIS IN SPANISH, BECAUSE OTHERWISE THE SUPERVISOR WILL CHARGE US AND WE WILL SOLICIT YOUR FREE LABOR. COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA AND COUNCIL MEMBER CARLSON. >>LUIS VIERA: YES, SIR. I HAVE A QUESTION. WHEN DO WE SUBMIT OUR NOMINEES. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: TO BE DETERMINED. >>MARTIN SHELBY: MARTIN SHELBY, CITY COUNCIL ATTORNEY AND NOT UNTIL IT IS CREATED AND NOT CREATED UNTIL COUNCIL COMES BACK TO BRING BACK A DRAFT ORDINANCE. AT THAT POINT THE PROCESS WILL BE SPELLED OUT AND YOU WILL BE ABLE TO BE HAVE YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED AND RAISE ISSUES THAT NEED TO BE INCLUDED IN THAT ORDINANCE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: AOL ISSER RATHER THAN LATER. >>LUIS VIERA: I WILL BE SEEKING A WAIVER TO APPOINT JOE GRECO ON HERE. JUST JOKING. GOD BLESS JOE. ONE OF MY FAVORITE PEOPLE. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE PUT ON HERE GOOD PEOPLE. I APPOINTED MICHAEL STEVENS ON BE THERE A WONDERFUL PERSON. DIFFERENT VIEWS OF THOUGHTS OF CHARTER. CHANGE SOMETHING LIKE IT IS THE U.S. CONSTITUTION. PLEASE, IT IS NOT. THAT IS MY VIEW. YOU WANT TO BE RESPONSIBLE. LOOKING FORWARD. THANK YOU. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: COUNCILMAN CARLSON. CARLSON CARLSON THANK YOU, ALL, FOR GOING THROUGH THIS AND THANK YOU TO COUNCIL MEMBER MANISCALCO FOR PUT ME ON THERE. IT WAS A VERY INTERESTING, REWARDING CONVERSATION. I GOT TO KNOW L LYNN AND ALL TH OTHERS THAT WAY. IT WAS A GREAT EXPERIENCE. WE NEED TO JUST REMEMBERING FROM PAST AND --LYNN WAS OURS SPOKESPERSON, SHE WENT AROUND AND SPOKE AT ALL THE LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS TO EXPLAIN TO PEOPLE WHAT WE VOTED ON. WE NEED TO GIVE THEM CLEAR DIRECTION WHAT WE WANT TO DO. AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I THINK WE OUGHT TO SIT DOWN AND BUILD SOME CONSENSUS ON SOME IDEAS AND THEMES. I REMEMBER ONE TIME -- ONE TIME I WAS DISCUSSING -- I DON'T KNOW REMEMBER THE EXACT DETAIL AND DISCUSSING THE BALANCE OF POWER BETWEEN THE MAYOR AND THE CITY COUNCIL. AND SUDDENLY THE CITY ATTORNEY ROAR WHO WAS NOT SUPPOSE TO BE INVOLVED CAME RUNNING DOWN AND SAID, YOU CAN'T TAKE AWAY THE STRONG MAYOR FORM OF GOVERNMENT. I SAID CITY COUNCIL ASKED US TO DO THAT. HE SAID NO, THEY DIDN'T. SAID HERE IS WHAT IT SAYS RIGHT THERE. IT WAS IN OUR CONSTRUCTION BOOK. WHATEVER DIRECTION WE WANT TO GIVE, IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT IF SOMEBODY POLITICALLY TRIES TO INTERVENE THAT WE HAVE -- THAT WE HAVE A SPECIFICALLY WRITTEN AS TO WHAT WE WANT THEM TO LOOK AT AND WHAT DON'T -- NOT DETAILED ISSUES, BUT JUST BIG THEMES THINGS WE WANT SO WE NEED TO SCHEDULE THAT AT SOME POINT. OTHER THING ABOUT RULES. WE SPENT, LIKE, THE FIRST MEETING OR TWO DISCUSSING WHETHER OR NOT WE WILL HAVE A CHAIR. AND WHETHER WE WILL HAVE MAJORITY VOTE OR SUPERMAJORITY VOTE. AND THAT PROCESS SEEMED IN THE END VERY POLITICAL. BUT THE FACT THAT WE DIDN'T REASON IS A CHAIR, I THINK, CAUSED US TO SLOW DOWN. AND IT ALSO CAUSE IT TO BE -- THE VOTES TO BE BIASED WITHOUT GOING INTO DETAILS. BY HAVING A SUPERMAJORITY, CAUSED THE VOTES TO BE BIASED. WE HAD THE MAJORITY VOTE, BUT WE COULDN'T ALWAYS GET SUPERMAJORITY. BUT OBVIOUSLY IT WAS POLITICAL. I THINK ALL OF THAT -- ALL THOSE RULES SHOULD BE WORKED OUT IN ADVANCE. ONE THING WE CHANGED TO BRING AN OUTSIDE ATTORNEY BECAUSE OF THE INTERFERENCE OF THE CITY ATTORNEY WHO IS NOT AT THE CITYANYMORE, BUT IT IS SEPARATE PROCESS THAT WE NEED TO GET ADVICE ON. AND THEN -- YEAH. SO ANYWAY, THE -- JUST SO WE SET UP THE RULES IN ADVANCE. I DON'T KNOW -- IN ADDITION TO THE ORDINANCE REQUEST -- >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I HAVE A SUGGESTION ABOUT THAT. IT WAS PART OF OUR DISCUSSION. SO I AM GOING TO HAND THE GAVEL OVER TO COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK. I WILL START OFF WITH THE -- WITH THE LEGAL MOTION TO START THIS PROCESS. I MOVE THAT THE CITY COUNCIL ATTORNEY WORK WITH THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT AND TO BRING COUNCIL A DRAFT ORDINANCE THAT CREATES A CLARITIER REVIEW ADVISORY COMMISSION PURSUANT TO SECTION 10.10 OF THE CITY CHARTER FOR COUNCIL'S REVIEW AND DISCUSSION ON AUGUST 29, 2025 UNDER STAFF REPORTS AN UNFINISHED BUSINESS. >>LYNN HURTAK: I HAVE A MOTION FROM CHAIR CLENDENIN. SORRY. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: ISN'T THAT FUNNY HOW IT GOES. >>LYNN HURTAK: ESCAPES DOWN THE HEAD. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I LOOK DOWN THE LINE, WHAT IS YOUR NAME. >>LYNN HURTAK: SECONDED BY COUNCIL MEMBER MANISCALCO. ANY COMMENT? ANY OPPOSED? AUGUST 29. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: AUGUST 29. >>MARTIN SHELBY: WE WILL LOOK AT THAT. >>LYNN HURTAK: DON'T HAVE AUGUST 29. BUT AUGUST 28. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THAT WAS A TYPO SHELBY ANOTHER THING -- >>MARTIN SHELBY: AUGUST 28 DAY, IF MAYBE COUNCIL WILL GRAND THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO IT ON THE 4th. I WILL TELL YOU WHY. IF YOU LOOK ON THE 28th, YOU HAVE THAT FUTURE LAND USE WORKSHOP THAT DAY. IF YOU WANT TO GO PERHAPS LONG ON THE 28th YOU CAN, BUT YOU WILL GO INTO A 5 O'CLOCK MEETING AND A LENGTHY ONE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: DO IT WITH A SPECIALLY CALLED WORKSHOP. >>LYNN HURTAK: DO IT ON THE 7th. THE 7th WOULD BE WITH THE FIRST REGULAR MEETING OF AUGUST. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THAT ONE IS LONG TOO. >>LYNN HURTAK: ONLY FOUR STAFF REPORTS. >>MARTIN SHELBY: 7th WOULD BE FINE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I MOTION TO AMENDS IT TO AUGUST 7. >>MARTIN SHELBY: IF I CAN RESPECTFULLY, I DON'T KNOW WHETHER THAT IS ENOUGH TIME TO WORK WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY TO TALK OF ALL THE ISSUES TO BRING BACK SOMETHING FULLY FORMED TO COUNCIL. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: YOU ARE THE ONE THAT JUST SAID THAT TO US. >>LYNN HURTAK: DOES NEED TO BE FULLY FORMED. I THINK THE ISSUE THAT COUNCILMAN CARLSON SAID CLEARLY THAT WE NEED TO DISCUSS IT. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THIS J IS JUST CREATING IT. THIS MOTION -- THE MOTION IS I MOVE THE CITY COUNCIL ATTORNEY TO WORK TO CREATE A DRAFT ORDINANCE OF THE CHARTER REVIEW COMMISSION. >>MARTIN SHELBY: YES. BUT I THINK ALL THE THINGS YOU WISH TO HAVE IN TERMS OF GOLFER RANCE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: THIS IS THE CREATION OF IT. I WILL HAVE A SECOND MOTION HERE IN A SECOND. >>MARTIN SHELBY: OKAY. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: MY MOTION TO AMENDS TO AUGUST 7. >>LYNN HURTAK: WE HAVE AN AMENDED MOTION BY CHAIR CLENDENIN AND WE HAVE A SECOND BY COUNCIL MEMBER MANISCALCO OPINION ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. ANY OPPOSED? >>ALAN CLENDENIN: NEXT IS, WHAT IS THE SENTIMENT OF COUNCIL -- AND WHAT YOU JUST FLARED COUNCILMAN CARLSON. A LOT OF ISSUES THE LAST CHARTER REVIEW COMMISSION DISCOVERED IN THE PROCESS INCLUDING ITS STRUCTURE OF THE -- OF THE REVIEW COMMISSION. WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE A ADD-ON TO A WORKSHOP, HAVE A SPECIAL WORKSHOP THAT IS JUST ABOUT CHARTER REVIEW? >>LYNN HURTAK: I -- OKAY. I THINK THAT WE COULD JUST TALK ABOUT IT ON THE 7th. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I CAN TAKE THAT BACK. >>LYNN HURTAK: IF YOU WERE MAKING A MOTION. BUT -- YES, I THINK WE TALK ABOUT IT ON THE 7th. WE GET INPUT FROM THE PUBLIC ON THAT DAY. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: WOULD EVERYBODY -- WHAT WE ARE SAYING THAT PEOPLE WILL BE PREPARED TO HAVE THOSE IDEAS ON THE 7th TO BRING THEM FORWARD. >>LYNN HURTAK: I THINK WE COULD. >>BILL CARLSON: A SEPARATE MOTION TO SAY WE WILL DISCUSS THE RULES FOR THE COMMITTEE AND ALSO THE ISSUES. I MAKE A MOTION TO ADD ADJACENT TO THE OTHER ITEM ON AUGUST 7, CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSION OF THE RULES FOR THE COMMITTEE AND ALSO A DISCUSSION OF GENERAL THEMES THAT WE WOULD LIKE THE COMMITTEE TO DISCUSS. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: OKAY. >>LYNN HURTAK: I WILL SECOND WITH AN A.MENDMENT. BECAUSE THIS IS ABOUT THE CHARTER REVIEW COMMISSION, I WOULD LIKE PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS SPECIFICS ITEM ONLY DURING -- EITHER BEFORE SO PEOPLE DON'T TO TAKE THEIR THREE MINUTES OF GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENTS. I THINK PEOPLE SHOULD SPEAK SPECIFICALLY OF THIS WITH THEIR SUGGESTIONS. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: PRIOR TO THIS MEETING YOU WOULD YOU HAVE TO WAIVE THE RULES. >>LYNN HURTAK: THAT'S WHAT I AM SAYING. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: ON THAT DAY, AT THAT MEETING WAIVE THE RULES FOR PUBLIC COMMENT. >>LYNN HURTAK: I THINKMENTS PUBLIC KNEES NEE-- NEEDS TO KNO THAT WE WILL BE WAVING THE RULES OF THIS. >>MARTIN SHELBY: MISS HURTAK, IF THEY SPEND IF THEY GET TO IT AT 4:15 IN THE AFTERNOON. >>LYNN HURTAK: SOME PEOPLE WILL, SOME PEOPLE WON'T, BUT GIVE THEM THE OPTION. >>MARTIN SHELBY: WOULD YOU BE FORMING YOUR WHOLE DAY'S AGENDA AROUND THAT. >>BILL CARLSON: IF FOLKS WANT TO ADD THAT, I DON'T MIND ADDING THAT. CHAPTER REVIEW MEETINGS WAS OPEN AND TOOK PUBLIC COMMENT. UNFORTUNATELY THE PUBLIC DIDN'T COME VERY MUCH, ONLY TO A COUPLE OF MEETINGS. >>LYNN HURTAK: BECAUSE THE ADMINISTRATION DIDN'T ADVERTISE IT. REMEMBER THAT? >>BILL CARLSON: THE ADMINISTRATION WOULD -- THE LAST ADMINISTRATION. THEY WOULDN'T EVEN PUT IT CONTINUE TO FACEBOOK. WE MADE A MOTION TO PUNT IT ON THE FACEBOOK FOR FREE AND THEY WOULDN'T WANT TO DO THAT. ANYWAY, ADD THAT AS PART OF OUR RULES. BUT THE OTHER THING IS, WHATEVER LIST WE COME WITH IN THE 7th NOT EXCLUSIVE -- JUST A RECOMMENDATION. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: A MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN CARLSON, SECONDED FROM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. OPPOSED. AYE HAVE IT. I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING FURTHER. VERY GOOD. THAT CONCLUDES OUR AGENDA ITEMS AND WE ARE ON TO NEW BUSINESS, COUNCILMAN CARLSON. >>BILL CARLSON: YEAH, I WOULD JUST LIKE -- I WOULD LIKE -- CANDY LOWE ASKED US TO GIVE A COMMENDATION THAT WILL BE PRESENTED OFF-SITE. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO PRESENT CANDY LOWE WITH THE 20th ANNIVERSARY OF TA CONVERSATION. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN CARLSON. SECONDED FROM COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. OPPOSED. >>BILL CARLSON: THANK YOU. THE OTHER ONE IS A LITTLE MORE COMPLICATED. I WILL PASS THIS DOWN TO YOU. THERE IS A MOTION AND THEN A DESCR DESCRIPTION. THE ISSUE THAT WE DISCUSSED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IN GENERAL IS THAT AP WATER STREET IS ABOUT TO GO NORTH. AN EVERYTHING TO THE WEST OF MERIDIAN WILL BE BUILT TO THE HEIGHT OF THE LIMIT. AND IT WILL BE UNDER THE CBD, CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT. CDB RULE IS THAT THE STAFF HANDLE IT IS, AND THE PROCESS GOES FASTER. CHANNEL DISTRICT TO THE EAST IS KIND OF A HODGEPODGE RIGHT NOW. BUT ORIGINALLY IT WAS SET TO BE A STEP-UP AND LINDA SAUL CENA WORKED ON IT AND ANDY SCAGLY BE KNEE. WITH SOME OF THE EXCEPTIONS SOME OF THE BUILDINGS ARE HIGH AND SOME ARE LOW. PEER HOUSE BUILT BY THE RELATED GROUP ARE FIVE STORIES. I SAID YOU GUYS CAN BUY THIS BACK AND BUILD IT UP HIGHER. THEY SAID YEAH, WE COULD. THE PUBLIC DOESN'T WANT HIGH-RISES AND DENSITY IN HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOODS. BUT THEY DON'T BE A HAVING IT IN PLACES WHERE IS THERE IS ALREADY DENSITY. GOT ON THE PHONE A COUPLE DAYS AGO WITH KEN SCAGLY ON KNEE AND ABBYE FEELEY AND OUT IN A TEXT AMENDMENT FOR THE JULY 17 -- SORRY THE JULY UPDATE. AND SO -- SO I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO ASK CITY STAFF TO INCLUDE A TEXT MESSAGE OF THE JILL CYCLE THAT WILL ADD THE CHANNEL DISTRICT FROM MERIDIAN TO CHANNELSIDE DRIVE INTO IS THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT AND RETURN ON JULY 17 FOR AN UPDATE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: MOTION FROM COUNCILMAN CARLSON.

ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. OPPOSED. AYES HAVE IT. >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU, COUNCIL. LAST, COUPLE OF YEARS AGO WE PASSED A SPECIAL NEEDS INTERNSHIP PROGRAM IN THE CITY OF TAMPA TO GIVE FOLKS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS $15 AN HOUR. I MADE A COUPLE OF MOTIONS ON THAT. WE BUDGET ANYWHERE FROM $75,000 TO $100,000 ON THAT. THE IDEA WAS TO HAVE THE CITY OF TAMPA HIRE PEOPLE WITH SPELLINGS NEEDS TO WORK WITHIN THE CITY OF TAMPA, $15 AN HOUR. WE HAVE, I BELIEVE IT IS, TWO INTERNS UNDER THAT PROGRAM. AND NOW THE -- NOW WE ARE GOING TO BE DISCUSSING THIS IN COUNCIL, BUT THE MOVE SEEMS TO BE TO LOOK TO GIVE OTHER ORGANIZATIONS MONEY FOR THAT. I -- I THINK THAT THE CITY OF TAMPA DEPARTMENT SHOULD HAVE PEOPLE WITH SPECIAL NEEDS AS INTERNS. SO WE ARE HAVING A REPORT ON THIS ON JULY 31 OF THIS YEAR. AND SO I HAVE A FORM HERE. IT IS VERY SIMPLE. KIND OF LIKE -- I WANT A STRAIGHT ANSWER. LIKE WHEN IN YOU OPINION MIDDLE SCHOOL AND YOU SEND SOMEBODY A NOTE, WILL YOU GO OUT WITH ME, YES OR NO. WILL YOU ACCEPT A SPECIAL NEEDS INTERN. DEPARTMENT, YES, NO. IF NO, WHY. THAT'S ALL. I WANT EVERY SINGLE DEPARTMENT IN THE CITY OF TAMPA TO BE ABLE TO ANSWER THIS, POLICE, FIRE, EVERYTHING. BECAUSE, AGAIN, FOR SOME REASON IT CAN'T, LET'S KNOW. BUT I THINK WE HAVE TO FULLY UTILIZE THE MONEY WE SPENT ON THIS. SO MY AMENDMENT TO THE JULY 31 PRESENTATION ON THAT IS TO HAVE THIS, WHICH MY OFFICE WILL SEND IN WORD SO THAT EVERY DEPARTMENT WILL EXECUTE AND FILL IT OUT TO BE ACCOMPANIED WITH THAT PRESENTATION ON JULY 31. AND MY OFFICE WILL ESSENTIAL THIS OUT. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: SECOND. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: A MOTION FROM COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA. SECONDED FROM COUNCIL MEMBER CLENDENIN. ISN'T THE ISSUE MORE COMPLICATED BECAUSE SPECIAL NEEDS IS SUCH A LARGE SPECTRUM AND ATE COMMEND COMMENDATIONS MAY BE -- >>LUIS VIERA: GOOD QUESTION. THAT'S WHY I AM ASKING IT. WITHOUT CITING NAMES, DIFFERENT DEPS HAVE PEOPLE WITH AUTISM AND SO FORTH WORKING IN THEIR. SOMETHING -- WE CAN HIRE MORE THAN TWO. THAT IS MY POINT. WE CAN DO BETTER THAN TWO. IF YOU GIVE ME EIGHT, I WILL BE HAPPY AS A PIG AND YOU KNOW WHY AND THAT'S ALL I AM SAYING. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: MOTION FROM COUNCIL MEMBER VIERA. SECONDED FROM COUNCIL MEMBER MANISCALCO.

SO IT IS PERFECT TIMING BECAUSE MR. ROGERO PRESENTED THE MID-YEAR AND REFLECTED ON SLIDE 4, WHICH I WILL PUT DOWN BUT JUST IN CASE YOU HAVE IT IN FRONT OF YOU A BREAKOUT BETWEEN THE ENTERPRISE EXPENDITURES AND THE GENERAL FUND. WHY AND I BRINGING THAT UP? LAST YEAR WHEN WE DID THE TWO WORKSHOPS. ALL CAPITAL AND ALL EXPENSE. WE LEARNED THROUGH EVERY WORKSHOP GOOD THINGS THAT CAME OUT OF MAKING ADJUSTMENTS AND THE WAY THE REPORTS WERE SHOWN. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE THE RECOMMENDATION BUT I WANT TO USE YOUR INPUT THAT YOU CONSIDER ON THE SLIDE THE MATERIALITY LEVEL AND TO LOOK AT THE BALANCE SHEET PERSPECTIVE, MEANING WHEN WE TALK OF GENERAL FUND, TALK OF THE EXPENSES OF THE GENERAL FUND AND GET THE PRESENTATION OF THE CAPITAL THAT IS ASSOCIATED WITH THOSE PARTICULAR APARTMENTS. SAME WITH THE ENTERPRISE YOU WILL HEAR OF THE INVESTMENTS. AND, AGAIN, YOU ARE TOGETHER. IN CASE YOU WANT ANYTHING AROUND SLIGHT SHIFT IN FORMATTING. ONLY REASON I AM BRINGING THAT UP, I WOULD LIKE TO -- I TEED IT UP WITH REVENUE AND FINANCE AND WHETHER IT WAS INTEREST ON PART OF COUNCIL. >> COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK. >> THING IS A GREAT IDEA THAT ALLOWS US TO FOCUS ON ONE SECTION AT A TIME. SO I -- IF THERE NEEDS TO BE A MOTION, I WILL MAKE IT. OTHERWISE I THINK IT IS A GOOD IDEA. >> TIMELY TO MAKE A MOTION NOW OR GET BACK FROM BREAK. TOO RATES. >>HAGAR KOPESKY: LITTLE TOO LATE IF YOU CAME BACK FROM BREAK. IT WILL BE OKAY IF YOU E-MAIL ME. >> I WILL MAKE A MOTION THAT ONE DAY BE ALL GENERAL FUND, BOTH -- REVENUE AND THE CAPITAL. AND SECOND SAY WILL BE ENTERPRISE. >> THE NUMBERS WON'T CHANGE. >> INSTEAD OF DOING A ONE DAY ON CAPITAL, WE WOULD JUST BE ABLE TO FOCUS ON GENERAL FUND AND ONE ON -- I THINK IT IS A GOOD IDEA. >> MOTION FROM COUNCILWOMAN HURTAK. A SECOND FROM -- SECOND FROM COUNCILMAN CARLSON. WOULD YOU LIKE TO SAY SOMETHING ELSE. >>BILL CARLSON: I WANT TO SAY REAL FAST BECAUSE I SAID IT PRIVATELY AND I WILL SAY PUBLICLY. WISH WE COULD HAVE THE PUBLIC VERSION OF INCOME STATEMENT AND FOR PEOPLE TO SEE IT ON THE ENTERPRISE FUNDS. REVENUES ON ONE PAGE AND EXPENSE ON THE NEXT PAGE AND NOBODY NOBODY IS ADDING THEM TOGETHER TO SEE IF IT IS POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE. A BIT CONFUSING TO THE PUBLIC. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I HAVE ONE THING OF NEW BUSINESS. I WILL ASK THAT THE CLERK AMEND THE CALENDAR TO AMEND WHAT IS THE PARENTHESES OF THE SPECIAL CALLED WORKSHOP ON THE 4th AND 11th. CAPITAL BUDGET AND OPERATING BUDGET. WE TAKE IT DOWN. >>LYNN HURTAK: GENERAL VERSES ENTE ENTERPRISE. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: IF THAT PASSES TAKE IT OUT THERE. A MOTION ON THE FLOOR. IS THERE A SECOND? ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. OPPOSED? THE AYES HAVE IT. UNANIMOUS. OKAY, SO WE HAVE -- WE HAVE THREE -- THANK YOU, WE HAVE THREE BIRTHDAYS TO CELEBRATE. MY CHAIR PRO TEM LYNN HURTAK RECENTLY CELEBRATED -- GOING TO CELEBRATE A BIRTHDAY NEXT WEEK. WE HAD OUR CHARLIE MIRANDA'S LEGISLATIVE AIDE AND INFAMOUS CITY COUNCIL EMPLOYEE MARY BRYANT CELEBRATING A BIRTHDAY ON JUNE 21. AND I SEE THAT COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO DITCHED US BEFORE WE COULD SAY THAT HE WILL HAVE A BIRTHDAY ON THE 13th♪ HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU ♪ >>MARTIN SHELBY: BEFORE WE LEAVE, I NEED TO SAY. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I AM LEAVING BECAUSE HE IS SINGING. >>MARTIN SHELBY: I HAVE AT THAT SAY THIS AND MAY INTERRUPT. MAY I BE RECOGNIZED. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: MR. SHELBY. >>MARTIN SHELBY: THANK YOU, MARTIN SHELBY, CITY COUNCIL ATTORNEY. THIS IS YOUR LAST MEET ING BEFORE SUMMER RECESS. YOU COME BACK. PUBLIC SHOULD BE AWARE THAT CITY COUNCIL WILL NOT MEET -- >>ALAN CLENDENIN: SHOW UP NEXT THURSDAY AND THE THURSDAY AFTER THAT BUT YOU WILL BE VERY LON LONELY. >>MARTIN SHELBY: JULY 17. REASON I AM TALKING TO YOU AND ASK YOU TO BE MINDFUL BECAUSE YOU ARE GEARING UP FOR THE PUBLIC INFORMATION MEET WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION WITH THE FUTURE LANDS USE MAP. YOU SAID YOU WANT TO BE THE SAFEGUARD OF ATTENDING THAT WITH SO HERE IS MY ADVICE TO YOU. THIS IS REALLY NOT A CITY COUNCIL MEETING. A MEETING CONDUCTED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FORMAT IT. THEY ARE WORKING WITH EACH INDIVIDUAL COUNCIL MEMBERS. COUNCILMAN CARLSON HAS ANOTHER. AND YOU WILL ALL DO IT. IN TERMS OF NOTICE AND TAKING MINUTES, IT IS A LOGISTIC IMPOSSIBILITY. I AM GOING TO ASK YOU TO DO WHAT YOU WOULD DO IF YOU WENT TO ANY OTHER PUBLIC MEETING IS TO BE MINDFUL OF YOUR OBLIGATIONS OUTSIDE OF CITY COUNCIL RELATIVE TO THE SUNSHINE LAW. SO, FOR INSTANCE, IF IT IS A SINGLE MEMBER IT IS STRICT, LIKELY PERHAPS THAT YOU WILL HAVE MEMBERS. SO AS A -- MY SUGGESTION IS TO TAKE THIS AS A LISTENING SESSION ON YOUR PART. YOU CAN TAKE NOTES. IF YOU DON'T SHARE THEM, ANOTHER NOT PUBLIC RECORDS. I DON'T THINK YOU DON'T ENGAGE IN CONVERSATIONS AND SAY SOMETHING AT THE MEETING THAT WILL CAUSE ANOTHER COUNCILMEMBER TO WANT TO HAVE TO RESPONDS, IT WILL CREATE PROBLEMS. ONE OTHER THING ABOUT THAT. IF YOU ARE ON A VIRTUAL MEETING -- BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND THAT NEIGHBORHOODS WANT TO SET UP THIS KIND OF MEETING WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION. YOU MAY GO TO A NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING. SAME RULES WILL APPLY. VIRTUAL MEETING THAT IS RELATING TO CITY BUSINESS WITH THE FUTURE LAND USE PLAN IS. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU REMAIN MINDFUL THAT YOU DON'T DISCUSS THE MATTER ON THE VIRTUAL MEETING ON THE -- ON THE OFF CHANCE FOR PRODUCT -- THAT THERE ARE OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS PRESENT. SO I KNOW IT IS A BURDEN ON YOUR PART, BUT THE SUNSHINE LAW PLACES UPON YOU, BUT IT IS STILL AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU TO USE IT TO YOUR BENEFIT AS A LISTENING SESSION AND TO LEARN FROM IT. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: MR. SHELBY, MAKE SURE YOU BRIEF COUNCIL MEMBER MANISCALCO ON THAT. COUNCILMAN CARLSON. >>BILL CARLSON: SEND A ONE PARAGRAPH MEMO TO PRESENT AND GIVE TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. I WANT TO TELL EVERYBODY, THE SOUTH TAMPA NEIGHBORHOODS THAT ARE PARTICULARLY ALARMED FROM THAT PROPOSAL FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION. THEY WANTED TO EACH HAVE MEETINGS. PLANNING COMMISSION STAYED THEY DON'T HAVE THE CAPACITY TO DO THAT AND NEIGHBORHOOD WILL TRY TO GROUP IN GROUPS OF TWO OR THREE THEY ARE INVITING ALL YOU HAVE US. WE WON'T BREAK SUNSHINE, BUT I WILL BE VERY HAPPY IF ALL OF YOU CAME. I WANT EVERYBODY TO KNOW OF WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE NEIGHBORHOODS. THANK YOU. >>MARTIN SHELBY: A PUBLIC MEETING. YOU CERTAINLY HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO BE. WE ONLY ASK THAT YOU REMAIN MINDFUL OF THE SUNSHINE LAW OBLIGATION, THANK YOU. >>ALAN CLENDENIN: I WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE CITY CLERK'S OFFICE OF THE FLOWERS IN HONOR OF COUNCILWOMAN HENDERSON. THANK YOU FOR THAT. MOTION TO RECEIVE AND FILE. MOTION AND RECEIVE AND FILE AND A SECOND FROM COUNCIL MEMBER MIRANDA. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. THIS MEET ING IS ADJOURNED. ANS OF THE REVIEW, ON PAGE 6, THE PARAGRAPH RIGHT BEFORE THE STAFF ASSESSMENT, THIS WAS AN AREA THAT ELAINE AND I, AND HEATHER, DISCUSSED QUITE
