PROPOSED REZONING FROM PD TO PD PLANNED DEVELOPMENT OFFICE BUSINESS PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL HOTEL RESIDENTIAL AND MULTIFAMILY. CERTIFIED SITE PLANS HAVE BEEN DELIVERED TO THE CITY CLERK AND ALSO HERE FOR ANY QUESTIONS. >>ORLANDO GUDES: ANY QUESTIONS, GENTLEMEN? ALL RIGHT. THE APPLICANT? >>DAVID MECHANIK: CAN YOU ALL HEAR ME? HELLO. MY NAME IS DAVID MECHANIK. MR. CHAIRMAN AND COUNCIL MEMBERS. GOOD AFTERNOON. I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF CRESCENT COMMUNITIES. WITH ME TODAY IS TIM GRAFF WITH CRESCENT. DAN OF HIGHWOODS PROPERTY. AND RANDY COEN OF COEN AND COMPANY. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE ONE HOUSEKEEPING ITEM TO BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION. REGARDING A CONCERN ABOUT ONE SCENARIO ALLOWING FOR 546 UNITS VERSUS THE CURRENT PROPOSAL, WE HAVE ADDED A NOTE TO THE SITE PLAN WHICH WAS SIGNED OFF BY THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT, AND THE ZONING STAFF, WHICH WOULD LIMIT OF NUMBER OF UNITS UNDER EITHER DEVELOPMENT OPTION TO A TOTAL OF 293 UNITS SO WE WOULD NO LONGER HAVE A SPLIT SCENARIO WHERE A LARGER PROJECT WOULD BE BUILT UNDER ONE SCENARIO AND NOT IN ANOTHER. SO IN EITHER SCENARIO, THE MULTI-DEVELOPMENT SCENARIO -- [~AUDIO DISTORTION~] COUNCIL HAS HEARD THIS CASE SEVERAL TIMES. WE DO NOT PLAN ON MAKING ANOTHER PRESENTATION TODAY, BUT WE WOULD RESERVE THE RIGHT TO MAKE ANY REBUTTAL COMMENT AFTER COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC. BUT WE ARE HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT COUNCIL MAY HAVE. >>ORLANDO GUDES: ANY QUESTIONS, GENTLEMEN? MR. CARLSON, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. >>BILL CARLSON: MR. MECHANIK, THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT, THE THING YOU JUST MENTIONED. AS I REMEMBER, YOU ARE CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG, LEGAL LAST TIME SAID TYPICALLY DEVELOPERS WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO DO EITHER ONE. AND SO IF WE APPROVE THE PROPOSAL TODAY, YOU STILL COULD GO BACK AND DO THE OTHER ONE. SO WHAT I HEARD YOU SAY, CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG, IS YOU ALL WOULD VOLUNTARILY GIVE UP THAT RIGHT THAT YOU WOULD OTHERWISE HAVE TO SHOW THE PUBLIC THAT YOU ARE LISTENING TO THEM AND TRYING TO HELP. >>DAVID MECHANIK: EXACTLY. WE HAVE MADE THAT COMMITMENT, AND IT'S REFLECTED IN THE SITE PLAN. >>BILL CARLSON: THANK YOU. >>ORLANDO GUDES: ANYONE ELSE? ALL RIGHT. WE WILL HEAR FROM ANYONE ON THE SECOND FLOOR. STATE YOUR NAME. >> TOM McCANN. I LIVE AT 5125 WEST NEPTUNE WAY. I'M THE VICE PRESIDENT. >> SORRY. GOOD AFTERNOON. MY NAME IS TOM McCANN, I LIVE AT 5125 WEST NEPTUNE WAY. I'M THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE BEACH PARK HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION. A SHOUTOUT TO MR. MECHANIK AND DEVELOPERS FOR LOWERING THE DENSITY TO 292, 293. THAT MEANS A LOT TO US. OUR BOARD VOTED TO 1,286 RESIDENTS OF BEACH PARK, WHICH IS A SOUTH TAMPA RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY, A STATEMENT THAT SAID, WE DO NOT THINK OFFICE BUILDINGS SHOULD KNOTT NOW BECOME DENSE APARTMENT BUILDINGS. WE HAVE APPEARED AT EVERY COUNCIL MEETING TO SHOW OPPOSITION TO HIGH DENSITY DEVELOPMENT. THE FIRST POINT I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE IS THAT THE APPLICANT PLANNED TO PUT IN AN APARTMENT BUILDING. HOWEVER THE LEGAL DESCRIPTION FOR APPROVAL BEFORE YOU TODAY INCLUDES MULTIPLE OPTIONS, INCLUDING TWO OPTIONS TO CONSTRUCT HOTELS. AFFIRM YOU GO THIS PLAN MEANS THAT COUNCIL AGREES TO THESE USES. WE DID NOT HEAR COMPETENT, SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE TO OPTIONS, MUCH LESS TWO OPTIONS FOR HOTELS BUT ONLY APARTMENTS. THE NEXT POINT IS, AT THE FIRST READING MR. MECHANIK TESTIFIED THAT CRESCENT PROPERTIES IS PURCHASING THE PROPERTY FROM HIGHWOODS. HOW IS DENSITY BASED ON THE TOTAL HIGHWOOD PROJECT OF 6.26 ACRES? IT'S UNCLEAR WHAT AMOUNT OF LAND IS BEING SOLD TO CRESCENT. WHAT EXACT ACREAGE FOR GREEN SPACES BEING SOLD TO CRESCENT? HOW IS THE PLANNING COMMISSION KEEPING THESE DEVELOPMENTS IN THE FUTURE LAND USE AT 100 DWELLINGS PER ACRE BASED ON THE CURRENT DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROPERTY IT APPEARS THAT THE PARTS BEING SOLD WILL SURPASS 100 DWELLINGS PER ACRE. THIS IS INCONSISTENT WITHIN BEACH PARK AND ACROSS THE CITY OF TAMPA. THE LAST POINT THAT OUR BOARD IS CONSIDERING IS THE HEIGHT OF A NINE-STORY BUILDING. WITH THE PROPOSED NINE STORY BUILDING THAT DWARF OUR EXISTING STRUCTURES DOES NOT MEET THE RESIDENTIAL NATURE OF BEACH PARK BUT ALSO WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT ITS INTERACTION WITH TAMPA INTERNATIONAL TIA. THAT'S ALL THE INFORMATION I HAVE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS, FOR CONSIDERING THESE ADDITIONAL POINTS CONCERNING THIS DEVELOPMENT, AND ONCE AGAIN THANKS TO THE DEVELOPER TO DECREASE THE DENSITY TO 292. THAT'S ALL I HAVE. THANK YOU. >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU, SIR. ANYONE ELSE? ANYONE ELSE REGISTERED? >>THE CLERK: THERE ARE NO REGISTERED SPEAKERS >>DAVID MECHANIK: MR. CHAIRMAN, I WILL JUST BRIEFLY RESPOND. MR. McCANN IS QUESTIONING WHETHER OR NOT THERE WAS COMPETENT, SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE REGARDING THE OTHER DEVELOPMENT OPTION, AND I BELIEVE CATE WELLS TOLD YOU AT OUR LAST HEARING THAT WE HAVE PRESENTED COMPETENT, SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT ALL OF THE SCENARIOS APPROVED IN 2018 THAT WAS NOT NECESSARY FOR US TO REESTABLISH THAT JUSTIFICATION FOR THIS APPLICATION TODAY. I AM NOT QUITE SURE WHAT POINT MR. McCANN WAS SAYING ABOUT THE PROPERTY BEING SOLD, BUT THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS WHETHER IT'S SOLD FOR ONE PERSON OR TWO OR THREE, ANY PURCHASER OF THIS LAND IS BOUND BY THE CONDITION OF THE REZONING APPROVAL. NOTHING IN ANY WAY WEAKENS OR DIMINISHES OR ELIMINATES ANY ZONING CONDITION THAT'S PART OF THIS APPROVAL. SO THE SALE OF PROPERTY HAS NO BEARING ON WHAT COUNCIL WOULD BE ADOPTING IN THE WAY OF AN APPROVAL WITH CONDITIONS. FINALLY, THERE WAS A COMMENT ABOUT HEIGHT. YOUR STAFF REPORT INDICATES THAT THE PROJECT IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING AREA, NOTING IN PARTICULAR THAT THERE ARE TWO EIGHT-STORY CONDO TOWERS ESSENTIALLY ADJACENT TO THIS PROPERTY TO THE SOUTH. THERE IS NO ISSUE REGARDING TAMPA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT REGARDLESS OF WHAT THIS COUNCIL APPROVES, WE CANNOT BUILD ANY HIGHER HEIGHT THAN WHAT WOULD BE ALLOWED BY THE FAA OR TAMPA INTERNATIONAL, THAT WOULD ENABLE THE REVIEW PROCESS AND MAKE THEIR OWN DETERMINATION. THERE IS NO CONCERN REGARDING TIA HATE LIMIT. AND WITH THAT WE WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. >>ORLANDO GUDES: ANY QUESTIONS, GENTLEMEN? ANY QUESTIONS? MOVE TO CLOSE? MANISCALCO MOVES, MIRANDA SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIED. WE LEFT OFF WITH MR. VIERA. ITEM 84, SIR. THANK YOU. YOUR TURN, SIR. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

ITEM NUMBER 5 UNDER CONSENT AGENDA. >>ANDREA ZELMAN: GOOD AFTERNOON. ANDREA ZELMAN, DEPUTY CITY ATTORNEY. I AM GOING TO PASS OUT -- I ACTUALLY DID MAKE A CHANGE TO THIS ORDINANCE, WHICH IS BEING PRESENTED FOR FIRST READING, AND I HAVE CREATED ALSO KIND OF WHAT I WOULD CALL AN ERRATA SHEET EXPLAINING WHAT THE CHANGES BASICALLY, IT WAS ONE REALLY LONG RUN-ON SENTENCE AND I BROKE IT OUT. I DIDN'T CHANGE THE CONTEXT OF IT AT ALL. BUT I WOULD LIKE TO GO AHEAD AND PASS THAT OUT. >>ORLANDO GUDES: GENTLEMEN, THE REASON I PULLED THIS, SOMETIMES WE READ BUT DON'T UNDERSTAND, SOMETIMES THE PUBLIC DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS IS ABOUT. THAT'S WHY I PULLED IT, SO LEGAL CAN TELL US WHAT IT REALLY GIVES THE CITIZENS OF TAMPA AND WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING OR WILL NOT BE PROPOSING TO DO THIS AFTERNOON. >>ANDREA ZELMAN: AND I APOLOGIZE FOR HANDING THESE OUT. SO BASICALLY, AS I EXPLAINED, I SENT YOU ALL A MEMO THAT I AM HAPPY TO WALK THROUGH THIS. THE FLORIDA LEGISLATURE IN THIS LAST SESSION ADOPTED SENATE BILL 2006 WHICH SIGNIFICANTLY AMENDED CHAPTER 252 WHICH IS THE FLORIDA EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT SECTION OF THE FLORIDA STATUTES. AND JUST SO EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS, CHAPTER 252 IS AGAIN THE STATE CHAPTER THAT GOVERNS ALL EMERGENCIES IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA. IT THEN, WITHIN THAT CHAPTER, DELEGATES CERTAIN AUTHORITY TO LOCAL POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS, SO ALL THE EMERGENCY POWERS THAT THE CITY OF TAMPA HAS DERIVE FROM THE STATE. AND THEN IN THE CITY OF TAMPA, WE HAVE CODIFIED OUR EMERGENCY POWERS IN CHAPTER 2 OF THE CITY OF TAMPA CODE. NOW, BECAUSE THE STATE STATUTE SIGNIFICANTLY AMENDED THOSE EMERGENCY POWERS THIS YEAR, PRIMARILY IN RESPONSE TO THE COVID PANDEMIC, WE THEN AGAIN HAVE TO AMEND OUR CITY CODE TO -- OR WE HAVE TO AMEND OUR CITY CODE TO MAKE IT CONSISTENT. AS I EXPLAINED IN MY MEMO, PROBABLY THE MOST SIGNIFICANT THING THAT THE LEGISLATURE DID WAS REDEFINE THE WORD EMERGENCY ORDERS TO BASICALLY CREATE THREE CATEGORIES OF STATES OF EMERGENCY. ONE IS THE OBVIOUS, HURRICANE OR OTHER WEATHER RELATED EMERGENCY. THE OTHER IS A NON-HURRICANE EMERGENCY, CHEMICAL SPILL, A PANDEMIC, WHATEVER, WHERE IN YOUR DECLARATION OF THAT STATE OF EMERGENCY YOU NOT IMPAIR THE INDIVIDUAL LIBERTIES OR RIGHTS, OR THE RIGHTS OR LIBERTIES OF @I. I AM USE THE LEGISLATURE'S WORDS. AND THEN THE FINAL CATEGORY, WHICH IS A NEW CATEGORY, THEY CREATED, IN RESPONSE TO THE PANDEMIC, WHERE AS WE KNOW, TALLAHASSEE DIDN'T LIKE WHAT SOME OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS SOCIAL DISTANCING AND SHUTTING BUSINESSES DOWN, SO THEY HAVE A THIRD CATEGORY OF EMERGENCY NOW WHERE IT'S AN ORDER THAT DECLARES A STATE OF EMERGENCY, AND PUTS LIMITS ON INDIVIDUAL -- THE RIGHTS OR LIBERTIES OF INDIVIDUALS OR BUSINESSES. AND THEY SIGNIFICANTLY SHORTENED THE PERIOD OF TIME THAT AN ORDER LIKE THAT CAN STAY IN EFFECT. AND THEY HAVE ALSO CHANGED THE PROCESS BY WHICH AN ORDER SUCH AS THAT CAN BE EXTENDED. SO, AGAIN, THAT'S WHERE WE DRAFTED THESE AMENDMENT TO THE CODE TO CODIFY THAT. A COUPLE OF OTHER CHANGES, THEY ADDED LANGUAGE ABOUT HAVING ON THE HOME PAGE OF THE CITY WEBSITE A LINK TO ALL OUR EMERGENCY ORDERS, LIKE WORKING WITH OUR WEBSITE STAFF AND THEY HAVE BEEN VERY RESPONSIVE IN CREATING THAT. THE FINAL THING OF SIGNIFICANCE IN THIS ORDINANCE IS OUR CITY HAS SOMETHING CALLED CERT,P COMMUNITY RESPONSE TEAM, AND FOR CITIZENS TO RESPOND IN EMERGENCIES, AND IT ACTUALLY ALLOWS THE VOLUNTEERS TO ACT ALMOST IN PLACE OF CITY FIRST EMERGENCY WHEN A FIRST RESPONDER CAN'T GET THERE. OUR CITY EMERGENCY STAFF QUANTITIES TO BE ABLE TO CONDUCT CRIMINAL HISTORY CHECKS OF THE PEOPLE WHO WOULD SERVE MEMBERS BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF THE WORK THEY ARE DOING, AND BY FLORIDA STATUTE, IN ORDER TO REQUIRE THOSE CHECKS, WE HAVE TO ADOPT THAT REQUIREMENT BY ORDINANCE. SO THAT'S WHY THAT WAS INCLUDED IN THERE. SO WITH THAT I AM HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. AND AGAIN, THE ERRATA SHEET I GAVE YOU GOES TO SECTION 2-402-B-1 WHERE ORIGINALLY I HAD WRITTEN OUT AS ONE SINGLE PARAGRAPH AND I KIND OF BROKE IT OUT INTO SUBSECTIONS TO MAKE IT EASIER TO READ. SO IS THAT CLEAR? DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? >>ORLANDO GUDES: I WAS LOOKING AT ONE SPECIFIC SPOT ON 3 GOING INTO 4. >>ANDREA ZELMAN: I'M SORRY, WHAT WAS YOUR QUESTION? >>ORLANDO GUDES: I SAW SOMETHING ON PAGE 4, FROM 3, AND I WAS JUST REREADING IT. >>ANDREA ZELMAN: YES, I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT. IN SECTION 2-403, WHEN I WAS LOOKING AT OUR CURRENT CODE, WE HAD SOME OF THE ITEMS THAT THE STATUTES HAD DELEGATED TO THE MAYOR, SOME OF THE POWERS. SOME HAD INADVERTENTLY NOT BEEN INCLUDED IN OUR CITY CODE. SO THOSE ADDED PARAGRAPHS UNDER SECTION 2-403 ARE LITERALLY VERBATIM FROM THE STATE STATUTE, JUST PLUGGED INTO OUR CODE. I MEAN, TECHNICALLY, BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN THAT POWER BY STATE STATUTE, WE DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO INCLUDE IN THE OUR CODE, BUT SINCE WE HAVE INCLUDED SOME OF THE OTHER POWERS, I THOUGHT IT MADE SENSE TO INCLUDE THOSE IN OUR CODE AS WELL. >>ORLANDO GUDES: EXPLAIN SECTION D ON PAGE 4, MS. ZELMAN. >>ANDREA ZELMAN: D ON PAGE 4. SO D ON PAGE 4 IS IN THE CURRENT CODE. THE ONLY CHANGE WE MADE IS TO REFER TO THE NEW KIND OF EMERGENCY ORDER THAT HAS A SEPARATE PROCEDURE. LET ME EXPLAIN D. SO D IS HOW EMERGENCIES CURRENTLY WORK. AND THAT IS, THE MAYOR DECLARES A STATE OF EMERGENCY, UNDER STATE STATUTE, EVERY LOCAL EMERGENCY HAS A DURATION OF NO MORE THAN SEVEN DAYS. IT HAS TO BE RENEWED EVERY SEVEN DAYS. AS WAS TRUE WITH COVID, AND IS STILL TRUE, AS LONG AS THERE IS A STATE OR FEDERAL STATE OF EMERGENCY STILL IN EFFECT, THE MAYOR CAN CONTINUE TO RENEW THOSE EVERY SEVEN DAYS WITHOUT BRINGING IT TO CITY COUNCIL. HOWEVER, IF THERE ISN'T A STATE OR FEDERAL STATE OF EMERGENCY IN EFFECT, AND MORE THAN 30 DAYS HAVE PASSED, THAT THE MAYOR AND THE NEXT AVAILABLE MEETING HAS TO BRING THE MATTER TO CITY COUNCIL, CONVINCE YOU ALL THAT EMERGENCY CONDITIONS CONTINUE, AT WHICH TIME IF YOU ALL VOTE TO AGREE, THEN THE MAYOR CAN CONTINUE TO EXTEND IT EVERY SEVEN DAYS WITHOUT BRINGING IT TO COUNCIL. IF YOU DISAPPROVE, THEN SHE CANNOT. AND IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, THE REASON FOR THAT, THERE ARE SEVERAL REASONS. ONE IS, I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY, THE ENACTMENT, THE DECLARATION OF A STATE OF EMERGENCY DOESN'T ALWAYS HAPPEN AT THE MOST CONVENIENT TIME. THE TROPICAL STORM ELSA ONE, I CAN PERSONALLY ATTEST, HAPPENED ON A SUNDAY, FEDERAL HOLD JULY 4th AND MANY OF US HAVE H TO JUMP INTO ACTION, GET THE MAYOR TO SIGN IT, GET IT DISTRIBUTED. HAD THAT STORM ACTUALLY HAPPENED AND WHO H WE NEEDED TO EXTEND IT, WE WOULD HAVE HAD TO HAVE EXTENDED THE FOLLOWING SUNDAY, AND THEN THE FOLLOWING SUNDAY AFTER THAT. SO IT ISN'T ALWAYS CONVENIENT FOR CITY COUNCIL TO CONVENE AND BOTH ENACT AN ORDER AND EXTEND IT. AND, IN FACT, HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY SIMILARLY, EVEN THOUGH THEIR MODEL OF GOVERNMENT IS DIFFERENT, AND TYPICALLY ANY ACTIONS TAKEN BY HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY ARE TAKEN BY THE BOARD, THEY DELEGATED TO THEIR COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR BONNIE WHITE THE ABILITY TO ISSUE DECLARATIONS OF STATES OF EMERGENCY AND ALSO TO EXTEND THEM. SO THAT'S WHY THAT LANGUAGE IS WRITTEN THAT WAY. ALSO, IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, CITY COUNCIL ISN'T HERE EVERY SEVEN DAYS. YOU ARE NOT HERE NECESSARILY -- I MEAN, THIS IS THE FIRST JULY MEETING. IN AUGUST YOU HAVE THE FLORIDA LEAGUE OF CITIES BREAK. IN JUNE YOU WERE AWAY FOR TWO WEEKS. AND THANKSGIVING, CHRISTMAS, WHATEVER. SO IT REALLY ISN'T PRACTICAL. AND AGAIN I THINK THAT'S WHY ALTHOUGH THE GOVERNMENT, LIKE THE HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY I GAVE YOU, GELATS IT TO AN INDIVIDUAL RATHER THAN REQUIRING THE BODY TO COME TOGETHER TO EXTEND THE STATE OF EMERGENCY. NOW, AGAIN, IF THERE WASN'T, LIKE IN THIS CASE WITH COVID, WE STILL HAVE THE COVID ORDER IN EFFECT. BECAUSE THERE IS A FEDERAL STATE OF EMERGENCY, WE HAVEN'T HAD TO BRING IT BACK TO COUNCIL FOR AN EXTENSION, EVEN THOUGH THE STATE'S STATE OF EMERGENCY HAS EXPIRED. >>ORLANDO GUDES: HOW DOES THAT RELATE TO THE COUNTY? I KNOW THE COUNTY HAS WORKED -- WE HAVE THAT BOARD. THE COUNTY HAS BEEN TAKEN THE MOVE. DOES THAT SUPERSEDE US HERE? >>ANDREA ZELMAN: THAT'S A DIFFERENT ISSUE, IF YOU WILL. THE COUNTY DID -- YOU ARE RIGHT, USED TO HAVE THAT EMERGENCY POWER GROUP AND THEY DISPANDEMICKED IT. SO NOW THEY ARE OPERATING SOLO, JUST AS WE ARE. BUT AS I SAID, THEY HAVE DELEGATED, THE BOARD HAS DELEGATED THE AUTHORITY TO THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR TO ISSUE THESE ORDERS AND TO EXTEND THEM AS WELL. AND THE OTHER THING I WOULD NOTE IS NONE OF THIS OBVIOUSLY -- IT'S DONE FOR PRACTICAL PURPOSES. IT'S DONE BECAUSE EMERGENCIES AGAIN DON'T HAPPEN ON CONVENIENT SCHEDULES, AND WE HAVE TO BE ABLE TO TAKE QUICK ACTION. DOWNTOWN NECESSARILY -- THINK BACK TO THE FIRST TWO MONTHS OF THE PANDEMIC. THIS COUNCIL DIDN'T MEET. IT WASN'T SAFE TOP BRING YOU ALL INTO CHAMBERS TO ENLIST THE SERVICES OF THE CLERK, TO GIVE NOTICE, TO HAVE CTTV HERE, WHATEVER, HAD WE HAD TO DO THAT EVERY SEVEN DAYS TO EXTEND THE ORDER. IT JUST WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN PRACTICAL. BUT I DO WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND, WE HAVE TAKEN -- THIS ADMINISTRATION HAS TAKEN SIGNIFICANT MEASURES TO KEEP COUNCIL IN THE LOOP. I MEAN, THIS PANDEMIC, OF COURSE, IS A ONCE IN A LIFETIME EVENT. BUT IF YOU REMEMBER BACK AT THE BEGINNING, CHIEF BENNETT ACTUALLY DEVISED A PROCESS WHEREBY WE PROVIDED COUNCIL, WE CREATED AN AGENDA AS IF THERE WAS GOING TO BE A COUNCIL MEETING, EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE CANCELED, WE GAVE COUNCIL THE OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW EVERY ITEM ON THE AGENDA, EVERY CONTRACT, EVERY AGREEMENT THAT WAS TO BE APPROVED, AND GAVE YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO PULL ITEMS, EVEN THOUGH TECHNICALLY UNDER THE MAYOR'S EMERGENCY POWERS, SHE CAN ENTER INTO CONTRACTS AND AGREEMENTS IN A STATE OF EMERGENCY WITHOUT YOUR APPROVAL. AND THEN ALSO -- AND THIS IS SOMETHING PERSONAL TO ME, YOU KNOW, EVERY WEEK, WHEN WE EITHER REVISE THE EMERGENCY ORDER, DRAFTED NEW ONES, RECEIVED EMERGENCY ORDERS FROM THE GOVERNOR, WE HAVE SENT EVERY MEMBER OF CITY COUNCIL A COPY OF THAT, AS SOON AS THE MAYOR SIGNED IT OR AS SOON AS WE RECEIVED IT FROM THE GOVERNOR, SISTERS-IN-LAW 8:00, 9:00 AT NIGHT, WITH AN EXPLANATION OF WHAT THE ORDER MEANT, AND THEN THE IMPACT ON THE CITY. AND THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT WE TOOK UPON OURSELVES BECAUSE WE WANTED TO KEEP EVERYONE IN THE LOOP. I THINK APPROXIMATELY 300 TOTAL ORDERS THAT CAME OUT BETWEEN THE STATE AND US DURING THIS COVID PANDEMIC. SO, YOU KNOW, NOTHING WAS EVER INTENDED. I MEAN, EVERYTHING WE DID WAS INTENDED TO KEEP CITY COUNCIL IN THE LOOP ON THESE MATTERS. AS YOU KNOW, I AM ALWAYS AVAILABLE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT OUR ORDERS AS IS EVERYONE ELSE IN OUR OFFICE. >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. DINGFELDER WAS FIRST. YOU SAW HIS HAND UP FIRST. YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I GUESS ANDREA, I AGREE WITH YOU AND YOUR TEAM HAVE BEEN VERY FORTHRIGHT IN KEEPING US POSTED. I APPRECIATE THAT. I GUESS WHAT I AM CURIOUS ABOUT IS THE SUBSECTION 2 AT THE BOTTOM SPEAKS TO FOR TO THE DURATION OF NOT MORE THAN 42 DAYS, I GUESS SIX WEEKS. THAT'S SOMETHING YOU ARE ADDING THERE? >>ANDREA ZELMAN: SO AGAIN, THAT WAS ADDED BECAUSE OF SENATE BILL 2006, WHICH CREED THIS NEW CATEGORY OF EMERGENCY ORDER, WHERE IT'S AN ORDER ISSUED, OR DECLARATION OF STATE OF EMERGENCY ISSUED IN RESPONSE TO A NON-WEATHER EVENT, AND -- AND THIS IS CRITICAL -- AND THE DECLARATION LIMITS THE RIGHTS OR LIBERTIES OF INDIVIDUALS OR BUSINESSES IN THE CITY. AND UNDER THE NEW STATE STATUTE, AN ORDER LIKE THAT, AND THE EXAMPLE THAT WOULD COME TOMAINO BE FACE MASK ORDER, OR THE ORDER THAT WE HAVE TO T STAY AT HOME ORDER AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PANDEMIC, THOSE CAN HAVE A DURATION OF NO LONGER THAN 42 DAYS, AND THOSE ORDERS, THE INITIAL ORDER CAN BE ISSUED BY THE MAYOR, BUT EVERY EXTENSION THEREOF HAS TO COME TO CITY COUNCIL AND BE VOTED ON BY A MAJORITY OF CITY COUNCIL. AND THAT'S AGAIN THE NEW UNIQUE DISTINCTION THAT THE STATE CREATED JUST FOR THOSE ORDERS. AND WHEN YOU READ THE LEGISLATIVE HISTORY, I MEAN, CLEARLY WHAT THEY WERE REACTING TO WAS THE PANDEMIC AND THE FACT THAT TALLAHASSEE DIDN'T LIKE WHAT LOCAL GOVERNMENTS WERE DOING IN THAT REGARD. THEY DIDN'T LIKE US SHUTTING DOWN BUSINESSES, THEY DIDN'T LIKE THE STAY AT HOME, THEY DIDN'T LIKE FACE MASKS, SO ON AND SO FORTH. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I GUESS, MR. CHAIRMAN, I APPRECIATE YOU PULLING THIS, BECAUSE I GUESS WHAT I AM THINKING IS, I TOTALLY AGREE THE MAYOR SHOULD HAVE AUTHORITY TORE DECLARE A STATE OF EMERGENCY, UNILATERALLY, LET'S SAY IT'S A STORM EVENT, AND DO THAT BY HERSELF WITHOUT COUNCIL, BECAUSE OFTEN WE CAN'T MEET THAT QUICKLY AND THINGS NEED TO HAPPEN RAPIDLY. BUT MS. ZELMAN, I WOULD SAY THAT WITHIN X NUMBER OF DAYS, LET'S SAY 14 DAYS OR 21 DAYS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, IF THIS LOCAL EMERGENCY IS GOING TO CONTINUE, IT WOULD SEEM LAKE WE SHOULD INCLUDE, AS LONG AS WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO UNDER STATE STATUTE, AND IT APPEARS THAT WE DO, THAT WE SHOULD INCLUDE OURSELVES IN THAT DECISION-MAKING PROCESS AFTER A CERTAIN REASONABLE PERIOD OF TIME. I WOULD HOPE THAT AFTER 14 OR 21 DAYS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, WE WOULD BE ABLE TO REGROUP AND MEET AS A BODY AND AFFIRM THE MAYOR'S CONCLUSION THAT THE STATE OF EMERGENCY NEEDS TO CONTINUE. >>ANDREA ZELMAN: WELL, IF I MAY, THAT ALREADY EXISTS. THAT ALREADY EXISTS IN SUBSECTION D OF 2-402. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I AM NOT SEEING THAT IN THE PROPOSED D. >>ANDREA ZELMAN: WELL, LOOK AT THE TOP OF PAGE -- >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I DON'T HAVE THE ENTIRE 2.402 IN FRONT OF ME. ALL I HAVE IS ONE PAGE. >>ANDREA ZELMAN: DO YOU NOT HAVE THE ORDINANCE AS WELL? LOOK AT PAGE 4. >> >>: OKAY, WAIT. MAYBE I DO. I WAS JUST LOOKING AT THE OLD VERSION. >>ANDREA ZELMAN: THE ERRATA SHEET WAS JUST TO SHOW YOU THE ONE PAGE BECAUSE I BROKE OUT A VERY LONG RUN-ON PARAGRAPH. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I GUESS I AM LOOKING AT THE B SECTION. IS THAT PAGE 4, PAGE 5? >>ANDREA ZELMAN: B IS ON PAGE 3. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: OKAY. AND DOES THAT INCLUDE THE -- DOES B-1 INCLUDE -- >>ANDREA ZELMAN: SO B-1 IS WEATHER EMERGENCIES OR NON-WEATHER EMERGENCIES THAT DO NOT LIMIT THE RIGHTS OR LIBERTIES OF INDIVIDUALS OR BUSINESSES WITHIN THE CITY OF TAMPA. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: RIGHT. >>ANDREA ZELMAN: NOW, IF YOU GO TO SECTION D ON PAGE 4 -- >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I SORT OF REMEMBER THIS FROM TWO YEARS AGO. >>ANDREA ZELMAN: YES, YOU ASKED US THIS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PANDEMIC. SO AGAIN, SO WE HAVE A WEATHER EMERGENCY, OR WE HAVE A NON-WEATHER EMERGENCY WHERE WE HAVE ISSUED A STATE OF EMERGENCY BUT WE ARE NOT IMPAIRING ANY INDIVIDUALS INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS OR LIBERTIES OF INDIVIDUALS OR BUSINESSES. I APOLOGIZE. IN THAT CASE, THE ORDER CAN STAY IN EFFECT NO LONGER THAN 30 DAYS, IN THE ABSENCE OF A STATE OR FEDERAL EMERGENCY WITHOUT IT HAVING TO COME BACK TO COUNCIL. IF THERE'S A STATE OR FEDERAL EMERGENCY IN EFFECT IT DOES NOT HAVE TO COME BACK TO COUNCIL. BUT IF FOR SOME REASON THE MAYOR CHOSE TO KEEP A LOCAL STATE OF EMERGENCY IN EFFECT IN THE ABSENCE OF A STATE OR FEDERAL ONE, AFTER 30 DAYS, SHE WOULD HAVE TOP BRING IT BACK TO COUNCIL. AND, YOU KNOW, I WOULD CAUTION, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE CRITICISMS OF THE STATE STATUTE IS THAT IT WAS KIND OF A NECESSITY JERK REACTION TO WHAT WE HOPE IS A ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME PANDEMIC. WE HAVE NEVER HAD ANYTHING LIKE THIS IN ANY OF OUR LIFE TIMES WHERE WE HAD A STATE OF EMERGENCY IN EFFECT FOR LONGER THAN, YOU KNOW, A FEW WEEKS OR FEW MONTHS AND MAYBE FOR -- >>JOHN DINGFELDER: WHERE ARE WE RATE NOW IN TERMS OF -- IS THERE STILL A STATE AND FEDERAL EMERGENCY IN PLACE? >>ANDREA ZELMAN: THERE IS NO STATE WIDE STATE OF EMERGENCY IN PLACE. HOWEVER, THERE IS A FEDERAL ONE. THERE'S ONE ISSUED BY THE PRESIDENT AND ONE ISSUED BY THE SECRETARY OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, AND WE STILL HAVE A LOCAL STATE OF EMERGENCY IN EFFECT. I BELIEVE I SENT YOU A COPY OF IT YESTERDAY. AND WE ARE VERY CLEAR IN IT TO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT WE ARE DOING IT FOR ONE PURPOSE, AND THAT IS WE ARE KEEPING A STATE OF EMERGENCY IN EFFECT SO THAT IF WE HAVE TO TAKE MONEYS, MITIGATED ACTIONS, PROTECT TEXTIVE ACTION IFS WE HAD TO RESPOND TO AN EMERGENCY SUCH AS WHAT HAPPENED IN MANATEE COUNTY WHERE THEY HAD A BREAKOUT IN THEIR I.T. DEPARTMENT, THE CITY COULD SPEND MONEY, AND THEN BE REIMBURSED BY FEMA, AND IT WAS ACTUALLY THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT THAT RECOMMENDED TO OUR EMERGENCY FOLKS THAT WE KEEP OUR ORDER IN EFFECT FOR THAT REASON, BECAUSE MANATEE COUNTY LET THEIR LOCAL ONE LAPSE, AND WHEN THAT IN THEIR I.T. DEPARTMENT THEY HAD TO SPEND SEVERAL HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS AND THEY CAN'T SEEK FEDERAL REIMBURSEMENT FOR IT BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE A STATE OF NEW JERSEY EFFECT ACCORDING TO WHAT WE WERE TOLD. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU FOR THAT EXPLANATION. I THINK BASED UPON D, I'M COMFORTABLE WITH IT. >>ORLANDO GUDES: GENTLEMEN, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. >>BILL CARLSON: YOU JUST ANSWERED MY QUESTION BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SAY BASED ON WHAT YOU SAID, I APPRECIATE YOUR HELP, THE LEM DEPARTMENT'S HELP IN KEEPING US INFORMED. I WOULD LIKE TO BE SAY I APPRECIATE CHIEF BENNETT'S HELP IN GUIDING US THROUGH THIS UNPRECEDENTED PROCESS, AND ALSO THE MAYOR, AND ALL THE OTHER STAFF, THE TECHNICAL STAFF AND EVERYONE WHO HELPED US THROUGH THIS. I APPRECIATE ALL THE COMMUNICATION AND AT ANY TIME COORDINATION COLLABORATION BEHIND THE SCENE. SO THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH. >>ANDREA ZELMAN: THANK YOU. >>ORLANDO GUDES: ANYONE ELSE, GENTLEMEN? AND THIS IS PULLED SO COUNCIL UNDERSTAND IT IS POLICIES AND PROCEDURE THAT THIS BOARD AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICE AND CITIZENS UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS MEANS, SO IF WE HAVE A STATE, FEDERAL SITUATION GOING ON. JUST LIKE NOW, WE ARE GOING UNDER A FEDERAL EXECUTIVE ORDER, FOR DOLLARS, OF COURSE. SO I AM SATISFIED AT THIS POINT WITH THE EXPLANATION. WE CAN PROCEED ON. >>ANDREA ZELMAN: THANK YOU. AND I APPRECIATE YOUR INTEREST. , THIS IS FOR FIRST READING, CORRECT? >>MARTIN SHELBY: MS. ZELMAN IS PROVIDING THE CLERK WITH THE READS THE TITLE, I BELIEVE THE TITLE IS THE SAME, MRS. MS. ZELMAN? >>ANDREA ZELMAN: YES. >>MARTIN SHELBY: SO WHOEVER READS THE TITLE WOULD MOVE THE SUBSTITUTE. >>ORLANDO GUDES: I'M SORRY, MR. SHELBY, ARE YOU SATISFIED WITH IT SIR? >>MARTIN SHELBY: YES, SIR. AND JUST A REMINDER TO COUNCIL THAT IT'S GOING TO BE COMING BACK FOR SECOND READING AT A PUBLIC HEARING. >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. DINGFELDER, DO YOU WANT TO READ IT? >>JOHN DINGFELDER: 2021-AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF TAMPA, FLORIDA MAKING REVISIONS TO THE CITY OF TAMPA CODE OF ORDINANCES CHAPTER 2, ARTICLE 7, CIVIL EMERGENCIES, IN ORDER TO INCORPORATE LEGISLATIVE AMENDMENTS TO CHAPTER 252 FLORIDA STATUTES AND THE% REQUIRED STATE AND NATIONAL CRIMINAL HISTORY SCREENING OF COMMUNITY -- COMMUNITY EMERGENCY RESPONSE TEAM TO FULFILL PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY, PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: SECOND. >>ORLANDO GUDES: ROLL CALL. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YES. >>BILL CARLSON: YES. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES. >>LUIS VIERA: YES. >>JOSEPH CITRO: YES. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: YES. >>ORLANDO GUDES: YES. >>THE CLERK: MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. SECOND READING AND ADOPTION WILL BE HELD ON AUGUST 5th, 2021 AT 9:30. >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU. ITEM HE 16 UPPED CONSENT. >> SUNSET CHIEF LEE BERCAW. I AM EXCITED TO PRESENT YOU WITH THE UPDATES OF THE MENTAL HEALTH UNIT AND ASK YOU TO APPROVE THE CONTRACT. SO ON BEHALF OF CHIEF DUGAN AND SUPPORT WHEREVER THE ADMINISTRATION AND MAYOR CASTOR WE HAVE COME A LONG WAY IN OUR PROGRAM, AND WE ARE EAGER TO MOVE FORWARD. AND I WOULD LIKE TO GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE. IF YOU RECALL IN OUR LAST UPDATE WE SPOKE ABOUT WHAT MAKES OUR PLANNING THE PROGRAM SET APART FROM OTHERS. AND IT'S THE STAKEHOLDERS AND THE COLLABORATION THAT WE DID TO DEVELOP THIS PROGRAM. YOU ALL KNOW THAT WE ARE NOT MENTAL HEALTH EXPERTS. THAT'S WHAT WE SOLICITED AND WE SOLICITED THE MENTAL HEALTH EXPERTS FROM THIS COMMUNITY. YOU CAN SEE ON THE SCREEN OUR PARTNERS ARE BAYCARE, USF, CRISIS CENTER, ACTS, NORTH SIDE, DACCO, GRACE POINT, ALL WORKING WITH THE CITY OF TAMPA AND THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. USF, BAYCARE AND CRISIS CENTER STOOD OUT. BAYCARE, GAYLE RIDER WORKED WITH US AND TOOK THE LEAD WHEN NOBODY RESPONDED TO OUR REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL. AND WE PARTNERED WITH DR. KATHLEEN MOORE FROM USF AND CLAIRE RHODE ISLAND FROM THE CRISIS SENTER WHO WORKED WITH US BEHIND THE SCENES TO DEVELOP THE MEETINGS AND FOCUS GROUPS TO ESTABLISH WHERE WE ARE TODAY AND HOW WE ARE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD. ON OUR TPD TEAM I HAVE SEVERAL TODAY AND THEY WILL BE SPEAKING. BUT LIEUTENANT BLINGA IS WITH US, DETECTIVE TONY COULDN'T BE WITH US WHO DA AND WE HAVE OUR NEW HIRE DR. CATHY THOMPSON WHO WILL BE SPEAKING TO YOU SHORTLY. SO I WOULD LIKE LIEUTENANT ROICCA TO WALK YOU THROUGH THE PROCESS AND THEN TAKE ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. >> LIEUTENANT KIRK WINGLIEN. AS THE CHIEF SAID WE DID PARTNER WITH WHO YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU IN YOUR PowerPoint PRESENTATION BUT WE RESEARCHED ACROSS THE NATION AND REACHED OUT TO NUMEROUS AGENCIES TO SEE WHAT THEY WERE DOING, TO SEE WHAT WORKED, SOME OF THE CHALLENGES, AND WHEREIN WE CAN APPROVE, AND WE BELIEVE WE CAME UP WITH A GOOD PLAN FOR THE CITY OF TAMPA. IT WILL CONSIST OF MYSELF AND THE TEAM COORDINATOR. IN ADDITION WE WILL HAVE FOUR CASE MANAGERS, FOUR FIELD CLINICIANS AND FOUR OFFICERS. THE CLINICIANS WILL COME FROM ACTS, AND THEY WILL RESPOND TO BE CALLS TO SERVICE RELATED TO MENTAL HEALTH TAPE CALLS. IN ADDITION WE WILL HAVE FOUR CASE MANAGERS WILL BE EMBEDDED INSIDE THE FOUR MAJOR PROVIDERS THROUGHOUT THE CITY, NORTH SIDE, DACCO, GRACE POINT, ACTS. SO THE PROGRAM CALLS FOR THIS. OBVIOUSLY OUR NUMBER ONE GOAL IS LINK PEOPLE IN CRISIS WITH THE APPROPRIATE SERVICES. WE KNOW THAT THAT'S PROBABLY ONE OF THE CHALLENGES WE HAVE GETTING PEOPLE CONNECTED IN A TIMELY FASHION TO THE SERVICES THAT THEY NEED, SO THE PROGRAM IS DESIGNED JUST TO DO THAT, AND THAT'S WHY WE HAVE A CASE MANAGEMENT IN EACH ONE OF THE FACILITIES. ALSO WE ARE GOING TO BE PROVIDING SERVICES AS RELATES TO MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES WE KNOW THAT MENTAL HEALTH HAS AN ISSUE, DEPENDENCY, SOME SORT OF SUBSTANCE ABUSE DEPENDENCY. SO WE WILL BE ADDRESSING THOSE ISSUES AS WELL. AND AGAIN, THE TEAMS WILL BE RESPONDING OUT TO THE CALLS FOR SERVICE, MENTAL HEALTH AND THE CLINICIANS WILL BE TAKING THE LEAD ON THESE CALLS AND THE POLICE WILL BE THEREBY TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING STAYS IN A SAFE MANNER, AND BE THERE TO SUPPORT THE CLINICIAN AS NECESSARY. OUR AGREEMENTS WITH THE ACTS, AGAIN, ACTS IS GOING TO BE THE ONE WHO IS GOING TO PROVIDE THE CLINICIAN, EXECUTE A CONTRACT INFORM US. THIS IS A ONE YEAR CONTRACT. AND THEY WILL BE PROVIDING INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS TO US BY WAY OF THE FIELD CLINICIANS. SCOPE OF WORK WILL BE AS AGAIN THERE WILL BE THE AGENCY FOR THE PILOT PROGRAM, AND THEY WILL PROVIDE WITHIN THEIR FACILITY ONE CASE MANAGER. AND SO LIKE I SAID, EACH AGENCY WILL HAVE A CASE MANAGER THAT WE CAN REFER PEOPLE DIRECTLY TO, BASED ON THE ISSUES THEY ARE HAVING TO GET THEM THE APPROPRIATE TREATMENT. AT THIS TIME I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE TO YOU DR. KATHY THOMPSON WHO IS OUR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH COORDINATOR. SHE WILL BE OVERSEEING THE DEVELOPMENT PIECE OF OUR UNIT. SO DOCTOR. >> GOOD AFTERNOON. MY NAME IS KATHY THOMPSON. MY PITCHED IS IN COUNSELOR SUPERVISION. I AM ALSO A LICENSED MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELOR HERE IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA. ADDITIONALLY A NATIONAL CERTIFIED COUNSELOR AND CERTIFIED CLINICAL PROFESSIONAL. SO WITH THOSE CREDENTIALS, I ALSO HAVE OVER 17 YEARS EXPERIENCE WORKING AND SERVING THOSE SERVICES, CHILDREN, FAMILIES, PREDOMINANT LIP IN ANOTHER CIRCUIT, BUT JUST NEXT DOOR OVER IN POLK AND HARDEE COUNTY. SOME OF MY DUTIES ARE BEFORE YOU. SO I WILL BE CONSIDERED THE SUBJECT MATTER ON MENTAL HEALTH. AGAIN, NO ONE CAN BE ALL THINGS TO ALL PEOPLE, SO I AM EXCITED AND HONORED TO PARTNER WITH TAMPA POLICE DEPARTMENT TO BETTER SERVE AND CONNECT OUR CITIZENS WITH THE SERVICES THAT THEY TRULY NEED. SPECIFICALLY I WILL BE OVERSEEING THE FIELD CLINICIANS. I WILL BE THE LIAISON BETWEEN LAW ENFORCEMENT AND OUR BEHAVIOR PROVIDERS. A LOT OF DATA TRACKING, I WILL AGGREGATE DATA, PROVIDE REPORTS, LET EVERYONE KNOW HOW WE ARE DOING, WHAT'S WORKING, WHAT'S NOT WORKING, MAKE SOME CRITIQUES ADJUSTMENTS. THAT DOES INCLUDE A REFERRAL PROCESS FOR OFFICERS. AND ADDITIONALLY, IN THE FUTURE, WE WILL MORE THAN LIKELY IMPLEMENT ADDITIONAL MENTAL HEALTH TRAINING. >> THANK YOU, DOCTOR. OUR CLINICIANS WILL BE COMING TO US AS LICENSED CLINICAL SOCIAL WORKERS OR LICENSED -- AND THEY CAN DO THE BAKER ACT THEMSELVES AND LAW ENFORCEMENT DOESN'T HAVE TO DO THAT ASSOCIATION OUR GOAL IS TO PROVIDE PROFESSIONALS IN THE FIELD INSTEAD OF RELYING ON LAW ENFORCEMENT TO PROVIDE THOSE SERVICES. JUST A QUICK BREAKDOWN OF THE BUDGET. YOU WILL SEE THAT THE PROPOSED TOTAL IS 800 FOR THE YEAR. THE CONTRACT BEFORE YOU IS IN THE 400S, BUT IN ADDITION TO THAT, THE OTHER PIECE OF THAT WOULD GO TOWARDS THE INITIAL SET-UP THAT WE NEED TO GET THE EQUIPMENT IN PLACE. ALSO, A LARGE PIECE IS GOING TO GO TOWARDS PROVIDING SERVICES BACK TO THE COMMUNITY FOR THE CLIENTS THAT OUR PROGRAM WILL BE SERVING OVER THE DAYS AHEAD. ANY QUESTIONS? >>ORLANDO GUDES: I HAVE TWO. SO DIRT AND LEE, SIGNAL GOES OUT. HOW DOES THIS WORK? >> JUST FOR THE RECORD WE CHANGED SIGNAL 20 TO NOW BE CALLED PERSON IN CRISIS. >>ORLANDO GUDES: OKAY. ALL RIGHT. >> SO WE MADE THAT CHANGE. SO WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN THEORY WHEN THOSE CALLS COME IN OUR DISPATCHERS WILL TRIAGE THE CALLS F.ONE OF OUR UNITS IS AVAILABLE TO HANDLE THE SIGNAL 20 CALL, THEN THEY WILL RESPOND OUT. SO THE CLINICIANS AND THE OFFICER WILL RESPOND TO THOSE CALLS, BUS IT'S GOING TO BE FOLLOW-UP. WE KNOW THAT A LOT OF TAMES WE HAVE TO GO OUT TO THE SAME PEOPLE OVER AND OVER AGAIN BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT GETTING THE APPROPRIATE FOLLOW-UP SERVICES THAT THEY NEED. SO OUR CLINICIANS WILL BE GOING OUT WITH THE OFFICERS TO FOLLOW-UPS AND ENSURE THAT THEY ARE GOING TO THEIR EMPLOYMENT, MAKING SURE THE MEDICINES THAT THEY ARE TAKING, IF THEY ARE NOT TAKING THEM WHY THEY ARE NOT TAKING THEM, AND GETTING BACK CONNECTED WITH THEIR DOCTOR TO GET THEM THE APPROPRIATE MEDICINE THEY NEED, AND SO FOLLOW-UPS ARE PART OF IT, AND THEN THEY PANDEMIC TO THAT. THE CLINICIAN WOULD TAKE THE LEAD ON THOSE CALLS AND TRY TO TRIAGE THAT CALL FROM THE PROFESSIONAL SIDE. >>ORLANDO GUDES: SECOND QUESTION. EVERY COMMUNITY IS DIFFERENT. SO YOU HAVE FOUR OFFICERS, FOUR CLINICIANS. TELL ME DIVERSITY. BECAUSE EVERY COMMUNITY IS DIFFERENT AND PEOPLE RESPOND TO PEOPLE DIFFERENTLY IN VEGASIS OR FAMILIES ARE THERE IN CRISIS. SO WHAT DO WE HAVE IN PLAN FOR THAT? HAVE WE THOUGHT ABOUT THAT YET? >> ARE YOU REFERRING SPECIFICALLY TO DIVERSITY OF THE TEAM? >>ORLANDO GUDES: YES. >> SO THE DIVERSITY OF THE TEAM RATE NOW I CAN TELL YOU WILL HAVE TWO FEMALES, AND 2001 FEMALE OFFICERS AND ONE MALE OFFICER. WE ARE STILL RECRUITING FOR THE FOURTH POSITION SO WE WILL HAVE DIVERSITY THERE. WE DID NOT FIND THE CLINICIANS YET BECAUSE WE ARE WAITING ON THE CONTRACT FOR IT TO BE APPROVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL BEFORE WE HIRE FROM ACTS. SO I CAN'T ANSWER THAT PIECE WHAT ACTS IS GOING LOOK LIKE YET. I KNOW THROUGH MY DISCUSSIONS WITH VALERIE, WE HAVE ADDRESSED THAT ISSUE SPECIFICALLY KNOWING THAT EACH SUBSET WITHIN THE COMMUNITY IS DIFFERENT. AND WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE TO FIND A WAY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE TREATING THE NEED -- THE COMMUNITY AS WELL AS THE INDIVIDUAL WITH THESE TYPES OF TEAMS. SO WE ARE TRYING TO HAVE A DIVERSE TEAM, BOTH MALE AND FEMALE, AND WE ARE ALSO TRYING TO MAKE SURE WHEN WE BRING IN OUR CLINICIANS THAT WE HAVE A WIDE DIVERSE GROUP THERE AS WELL TO HELP MEET THE NEEDS OF THE POPULATION. >>ORLANDO GUDES: MALE OR FEMALE IS GOOD BUT AS YOU KNOW AND I KNOW, IF I GO TO A HISPANIC COMMUNITY, HAS BEEN BOW ESPANOL, IF YOU DON'T SPEAK THAT, I WANT TO MAKE SURE, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THE COMMUNITY IS GOING TO BENEFIT TO WHERE WE HAVE GOT A PROGRAM, THAT WE HAVE A PROGRAM THAT'S GOING TO COVER ALL THOSE NEEDS, AND WE TALK ABOUT THE BLACK COMMUNITY, WE TALK ABOUT HISPANIC. THESE ARE THE CULTURAL PEOPLE SO WE HAVE THOSE PEOPLE TO RESPOND. SO JUST MAKING SURE I KNOW IN THE INITIAL STAGE, I WANT US TO KEEP IN MIND THAT WE HAVE TO HAVE THAT, WE HAVE TO HAVE FEMALES, MALES, GREAT, WE HAVE TO HAVE DIVERSE PEOPLE THAT WE SAY IT'S GOING TO BE TRULY A TEAM TO SOME INITIALS SOME OF THESE COMMUNITIES. >> YES, SIR. >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. DINGFELDER, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN. AND THANKS TO ALL OF YOU. GOOD PROGRESS. I LOOK FORWARD TO THE KICKOFF WHICH LOOKS LIKE IT'S AROUND THE CORNER IN THE FALL. MY QUESTION, I KNOW IN ALL THE RESEARCH YOU HAVE DONE, AND YOU HAVE LOOKED INTERNALLY, AS RELATED TO HOW MANY TOTAL CALLS, BASICALLY IT LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE GOT SORT OF FOUR TEAMS, OR SOMETHING, AND HOW DOES THAT RELATE TO COVERAGE OF 24/7? AND I'M SURE A LOT OF THESE CALLS PROBABLY PERHAPS MAY GET MORE CONCENTRATED ON CERTAIN DAYS OR CERTAIN TIMES OR SOMETHING. >> YES, SIR. AS THIS IS A PILOT PROGRAM, WE ARE STARTING WITH FOUR TEAMS. AND SO OBVIOUSLY WITH FOUR TEAMS IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO GAIN A 24/7 COVERAGE. SO THE COVERAGE -- AND WE HAVE LOOKED AT OUR CALLS FOR SERVICES. WE REALIZE A LOT OF CALLS FOR SERVICE ARE IN THE EVENING TIME HOURS YOU WILL IN I THINK IF I REMEMBER IT GOES TO ABOUT 11 P.M. AND THEN THOSE CALLS START TO FALL OFF. SO OUR COVERAGE WILL BE FROM 8 A.M. TO LOVELY 11:00 IN THE EVENING. THEN BECAUSE WE HAVE LIMITED STAFF AND WE ARE TRYING TO GET MAX HOURS OUT OF OUR TEAMS, PRIMARY COVERAGE RIGHT NOW, THE PILOT PHASE WOULD BE MONDAY THROUGHFULLY SET-UP. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: OKAY. AND DR. THOMPSON, BASED UPON YOUR REVIEW OF THESE NUMBERS AND THAT SORT OF THING, HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THAT? IS THIS JUST A DROP IN THE BUCKET THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO ADDRESS AT THE BEGINNING AND DO YOU ANTICIPATE THIS PROGRAM GROWING SIGNIFICANTLY FOR A CITY OF 400,000 PEOPLE? >> I DO. GREAT QUESTION. THANK YOU. I BELIEVE WE HAVE TO START SOMEWHERE. AND I THINK IT IS ADMIRABLE THAT THE CITY IS TAKING A LOOK AT THIS, AND ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THIS IS A CONCERN OF THE CITIZENS. WITH THAT BEING SAID, WE HAVE TO START SOMEWHERE. I THINK FOUR IS DOABLE FOR THE AMOUNT OF CALLS THAT I HAVE REVIEWED, AND YES, I HIGHLY ANTICIPATE THIS PROGRAM TO GROW AND REACH A CAPACITY WHERE WE CAN AT LEAST MEET THE NEEDS AS MANY CITIZENS AS POSSIBLE. IDEALLY, WE WOULD LIKE TO NOT NEED IT. HOWEVER, THAT'S NOT REALLY THE CASE AND THAT'S NOT REALISTIC. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU. CHIEF, AGAIN, THANKS FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE OVER THE LAST YEAR, I GUESS ABOUT A YEAR OF WORKING ON THIS. I KNOW YOU PUT YOUR HEART AND SOUL INTO IT AND I APPRECIATE IT. AGAIN, WELL, WHEN WE PUT FOUR OFFICERS ON THIS, FOUR OFFICERS LESS DOING THEIR REGULAR JOB, BUT I WOULD THINK THAT THEY SERVE A BALANCE THERE IN TERMS OF THAT IF BECK START REDUCING ESPECIALLY THE RECIDIVISM, JOHN BENNETT AND I HAVE TALKED ABOUT, AND IT LOOKS LIKE YOU ARE TRYING TO DO THAT IN TERMS OF FOLLOW-UP AND THAT SORT OF THING. I MEAN, OVERALL I HOPE THAT WE CAN JUST KEEP A STEADY NUMBER OF OFFICERS TO JUST START SHIFTING SOME OF THEM OVER INTO THIS TYPE OF PROGRAM? >>CHIEF BERCAW: THESE ARE CALLS THAT THE OFFICERS WILL BE ATTACK ANYWAYS, SO OUR GOAL WOULD BE WITH THIS UNIT TO REDUCE THE VOLUME OF THOSE CALLS SO EASE THE WORKLOAD SIMULTANEOUSLY. SO HOPEFULLY IT WILL INCREASE OUR EFFICIENCY AND EFFECTIVENESS NOT ONLY FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT BUT FOR THE CITIZENS. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: AND I WOULD ALSO GUESS THAT ESPECIALLY WHEN IT RELATES TO EFFECTIVENESS THAT THESE OFFICERS ARE MORE HIGHLY TRAINED THAN JUST YOUR REGULAR OFFICER. >> EXPERT SUBJECT MATTER, YOU CAN'T TOP THAT. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: ALL RIGHT, SUPER. THANKS AGAIN. AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM ALL OF YOU AS WE PROGRESS MAYBE A COUPLE OF MONTHS IN. >>ORLANDO GUDES: NONE ELSE BEFORE I FINISH UP? >>JOHN DINGFELDER: DON'T PUT IT ON CONSENT. IT'S TOO GOOD AND TOO IMPORTANT TO SKIP OVER. I'M SORRY. >>ORLANDO GUDES: I SAW VIERA AND MR. CARLSON. >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND THANK YOU, GENTLEMEN AND LADY FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. CHIEF, IT'S GOOD TO SEA YOU UNDER BETTER CIRCUMSTANCES. THAT'S FOR DARN SURE. ONE THING ABOUT THIS PROGRAM, LET ME ASK YOU, WHAT'S THE PRESENT? >> IT'S ROUGHLY 800,000. I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT LINE BUT IT'S ROUGHLY 800,000. >>LUIS VIERA: THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY. IF IT CONTINUES TO BE EFFECTIVE IT'S GOING TO COST MORE MONEY. WE HAVE $80 MILLION OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS GOING TO COME FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, THE GOVERNMENT TOLD US WE CAN USE THAT MONEY IN PART PART FOR PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUES. I THINK THIS IS A GREAT PROGRAM THAT WE SHOULD TAKE A LOOK AT FUNDING IN A ROBUST WAY, IN PART THROUGH THOSE FUNDS, THAT WE CAN TAKE A LOOK AT THAT. I KNOW THERE'S BEEN A MOTION IN THAT REGARD THAT COUNCIL HAS SUPPORTED TO TAKE A LOOK AT PUBLIC SAFETY FOR THOSE FUNDS, AND IT GOES TO THE LARGER POINT WHICH IS THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO DO POSITIVE REFORMS IN POLICING, IT COSTS MONEY. IMPLICIT BIAS TRAINING THAT WE PASSED IS GOING TO COST A LOT OF MONEY. COMMUNITY POLICING AND HAVING THAT TRANSITION FOR A LOT OF OUR COPS ON THE STREET. THAT COSTS A LOT OF MONEY. BODY CAMERAS, CITIZEN 13 MILLION. THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY. AND THIS A WHOLE LOT OF MONEY. SO WHEN YOU WANT TO MAKE THESE CHANGES, IT COSTS A GREAT DEAL OF MONEY. AND WE ARE COMING INTO A GREAT DEAL OF MONEY. AND I THINK THERE'S GOOD CONSENSUS FOR HAVING THESE IMPROVEMENTS FUNDED IN PART BY THESE FUND. THAT'S ALL. THANK YOU GUYS VERY MUCH. >>CHIEF BERCAW: IN ADDITION TO THAT WE DO HAVE SEVERAL GRANTS THAT WE ARE APPLYING FOR, AND ARE OPTIMISTIC ON THOSE. >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. CARLSON. >>BILL CARLSON: I WANT TO ECHO THANK YOU TO YOU AND YOU'RE TEAM FOR PUTTING THIS ALL TOGETHER, DOING ALL THE RESEARCH. IT'S AN IMPORTANT ISSUE THE% COMMUNITY BROUGHT UP A YEAR AGO AND IT HAS HAD A CONSISTENT DRUM BEAT-APPRECIATE YOUR HELP. THANKS ALSO FOR PITCHING IT FORWARD AND LEADING US WELL. ONE QUICK QUESTION, AND SORRY THIS IS A TOUGH QUESTION BUT IT'S THE ONE THE COMMUNITY ASKED, WHICH IS, IS IT POSSIBLE THROUGH THE RESEARCH THAT YOU HAVE DONE THAT HAVING MENTAL HEALTH, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, INTERVENTION, WOULD REDUCE THE TIMES THAT PEOPLE ARE SHOT OR HURT IN SOME WAY, THAT THE COMMENT OF THE COMMUNITY IS IF A MENTAL HEALTH PERSON LED, THEN THERE WOULD BE FEWER PEOPLE SHOT. IS THAT ANYTHING THAT YOU SAW IN ANY OF THE RESEARCH YOU DID, AND WHAT'S YOUR -- >> THAT WOULD HAVE TO SPEAK FOR ITSELF, BUT AS PRESENTED HERE, THE MENTAL HEALTH EXPERT OF THE LICENSED MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELOR IS GOING TO BE THE ONE ENGAGING. SO UNLESS THERE'S A THREAT OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, THE OFFICER IS SECONDARY. >> AND WHAT HAPPENS WITHOUT MENTIONING ANY SPECIFIC CASES, IF SOMEONE NEEDS A MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELOR BUT THEY ARE ALSO WIELDING A WEAPON, GUN OR SOMETHING? >> THAT'S A VERY DYNAMIC SITUATION WHERE LAW ENFORCEMENT TRAINING WILL STEP IN. >> I KNOW THE PUBLIC IS GOING TO ASK US, SO I WANT TO GIVE AN ANSWER. THANK YOU. >>JOSEPH CITRO: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE CHIEF, THE LIEUTENANT, THE DOCTOR FOR THE RECORD WORK, OUR CHIEF OF STAFF TOO. IF THERE'S NO OTHER DISCUSSION I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE THE CHAIR'S POSITION. >>ORLANDO GUDES: AND YOUR QUESTIONS ARE VALID. I'M HOPING THAT WE HAVE BUY-IN. BUY-IN FROM THE OFFICERS. BECAUSE I KNOW, YOU HAVE GOT TO HAVE BUY-IN. FOUR OFFICERS WILL NOT BE ENOUGH. WE HAVE VERY SERIOUS MENTAL HEALTH SITUATION IN OUR COMMUNITIES. IT WON'T BE ENOUGH. SO YOU CAN GET READY FOR THAT. FOUR WILL NOT BE ENOUGH. I THINK THIS IS A GREAT START TO SEE WHERE WE NEED TO BE AT. I'M A REALIST. MR. CARLSON, YOUR POINT, I HAVE BEEN THERE. GUY COMES OUT WITH A BIG OL' KNIFE. 21 FEET. BUT YOU HAVE GOT TO HAVE CONFIDENCE TO SAY, I DO TAKE THIS GUY'S LIFE OR I DO JUST BACK OFF AND JUST WAIT IT OUT? COMES TO TRAINIG, TOO. IT'S ALSO GOING TO BE PART OF PROBABLY THE PROCESS WITH TPD TRAINED OFFICERS WITH THOSE TYPES OF THINGSA AS WELL SO IT'S GOING TO WORK BOTH HAND. NO WHEN TO RETREAT. BUT I KNOW FOR A FACT, WE ARE GOING TO SEE HOW IT ROLLS OUT. I KNOW THE CHIEF, I KNOW HIM, HE'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE LOOKING FOR THIS AND THAT. SO I AM WAITING TO SEE HOW WE GET UP AND RUNNING. BUT I CAN TELL YOU, WITH ONLY FOUR OFFICERS, YOU HAVE A MIDNIGHT SHIFT, AN EVENING SHIFT, DAY SHIFT, YOU HAVE GOT THREE DISTRICTS. WHEN I FIRST CAME ON, WORKED AT THE GASPARILLA, D-3, SO I JUST TELL YOU THE WAY IT IS. AND WE HAVE A SEVERE MENTALLY ILL IN A LOT OF OUR YOUTH NOW. SOME PARENTS HAVING KIDS, THAT THEY HAVE MENTAL. >>ORLANDO GUDES: BUT I AM GLAD WE ARE IN THE RATE STEP TO MOVE BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE KEY TO THIS PROCESS. MR. MIRANDA, ANYTHING, SIR? >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: NO, NO, THANK YOU. I JUST WANT TO THANK THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THE REST OF THE STAFF FOR PUT IT TOGETHER AND DOING AN OUTSTANDING JOB. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS. CAN'T MACH JUDGMENTS -- VERY WELL DONE WITH YOUR STAFF. DR. THOMPSON AND THE REST OF YOU. HOPEFULLY IT WORKS OUT FOR THE BEST AND EVERYBODY IS SATISFIED. >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. CITRO, YOU WANT TO PUT A MOTION ON THE FLOOR? >>JOSEPH CITRO: YES, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. FILE NUMBER PS 21-69-437. I WILL MOVE THAT RESOLUTION. >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. CITRO MOVED IT. MR. MIRANDA SECONDED IT. ROLL CALL VOTE, PLEASE. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: YES. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YES. >>BILL CARLSON: YES. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES. >>LUIS VIERA: YES. >>JOSEPH CITRO: YES. >>ORLANDO GUDES: YES. >>THE CLERK: MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU, GENTLEMEN. ITEM NUMBER 42. STAFF. CHIEF, ARE YOU DOING THIS OR IS LEGAL DOING IT FIRST? I THINK LEGAL IS SUPPOSED TO TALK ON THE CHARTER ISSUE. >>JOHN BENNETT: CHIEF OF STAFF. HERE REPRESENTING THE ADMINISTRATION SPECIFICALLY, MAYOR CASTOR, AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO BRING SOME APPOINTMENTS TO CITY COUNCIL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONFIRM. BEFORE I GET STARTED, I WANT TO MAKE SURE, MAYBE MR. SHELBY CAN HELP ME, AND MS. ZELMAN CAN HELP ME THAT THERE WAS A SUBSTITUTE SUBMITTED. >>ANDREA ZELMAN: WE SUBMITTED A AMENDMENT YESTERDAY TO ADD SHERRIES A HILLS AS DIRECTOR OF THE PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT TO THE OTHER NEW APPOINTEES. >>ORLANDO GUDES: BEFORE THE CHIEF GOT STARTED, I PULLED THIS ITEM FOR CLARITY. AS YOU REMEMBER, CHIEF TRIPP HAD HER SITUATION, HAD TO RUSH TO GET THAT DONE, AND IT'S NO SLAP ON THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION. LET ME MAKE THAT CLEAR. IT'S A MATTER OF THINGS BEING OUT OF BALANCE AND WE HAVE ALWAYS DONE IT THIS WAY VERSUS DOING WHAT POLICY SAYS WE SHOULD DO. SO IT'S NO SLIGHT OF ANY CANDIDATE THAT'S BEING APPOINTED. IT'S JUST A MATTER OF THE PROCESS AND THE POLICY NOT BEING CONSISTENT AND FOLLOW WHAT THE BOOKS SAID. SO AS THE CHAIRMAN, I AM A POLICY GUY. CHIEF IS A POLICY GUY. SO IS THE MAYOR. THEY MAKE POLICIES. AND WE FOLLOW POLICY. AND FOR ME, WHEN I SEE OUR CURRENT SITUATION THAT'S OCCURRING, AND COUNCIL IS IN THE DARK AND WE GET CALLS, AND AS THE CHAIRMAN, I HAVE TO ACT UPON THOSE TO GET INFORMATION. SO THAT'S WHY I PULLED THIS ITEM TO ASK QUESTIONS REGARDLESS OF WHAT OUR CHARTER SAYS, WHY WE ARE DOING THIS VERSUS WHAT THE CHARTER SAYS, AND THAT'S WHY MR. SHELBY SENT THAT MEMO OUT. WE WILL GET THROUGH THE APPOINTMENTS. I DON'T THINK THERE WILL BE AN ISSUE WITH THE APPOINTMENTS BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE GET THROUGH NUTS AND BOLTS HOW WE WILL PROCEED DOWN THE ROAD WITH APPOINTMENTS COMING TO THIS COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL. >> THAT'S WHY I ASKED FOR STAFF. AND I WILL LET MR. BENNETT GO, MS. ZELMAN, AND MR. SHELBY CAN CHIME IN. >>JOHN BENNETT: WHAT IS THE PLEASURE OF COUNCIL? I HAVE A COUPLE OF OPTIONS. ONE, WE COULD DO ONE CONFIRMATION CANDIDATE AT A TIME, LET HIM OR HER COME UP AND BRIEFLY INTRODUCE THEMSELVES, GIVE A FIVE-SECOND CURRICULUM VITAE OR IN THE PUBLIC OR PRIVATE SECTOR, AND IF YOU WANT THEM TO COME ONE AT A TIME OR WOULD YOU LIKE TO HEAR FROM ALL THREE AND MAKE YOUR DECISION IN THE GROUP? WHAT'S THE PLEASURE OF COUNCIL? >>ORLANDO GUDES: I THINK I WILL GO AROUND, AT LEAST FOR ME, I THINK WE HEAR -- FROM THE CANDIDATE, HEAR THEM OUT AND MAKE THE APPOINTMENT, AND THEN AFTER THAT WE WILL GO INTO THE POLICY, HOW WE WILL MOVE FORWARD IN THE FUTURE THAT'S COMING BEFORE COUNCIL. >>JOHN BENNETT: SOUND GREAT. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YOU ARE THE BUS. >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. SHELBY. >>MARTIN SHELBY: I JUST WANT TO ALSO ADD, COUNCIL, THAT -- AND MS. ZELMAN CAN TALK FURTHER ABOUT IT -- OR THE ADMINISTRATION -- CONTAINED IN THIS RESOLUTION ALSO IS RELATIVE TO WAIVER OF THE RESIDENCY REQUIREMENTS WHICH IS A SECTION OF THE CHARTER. I THINK THAT'S STILL IN THE SUBSTITUTE. AND AS YOU KNOW, WE COULD HAVE A DISCUSSION OF WHAT THE CHARTER SAYS, AND THE EFFECT, BECAUSE THERE HAVE BEEN PREVIOUS EXTENSIONS OF THAT POLICY IN THE CHARTER, PREVIOUS WAIVERS GRANTED AND WHAT ULTIMATELY THE EFFECT OF THAT IS, SO COUNCIL IS APPRAISED OF IT. >>ORLANDO GUDES: LET'S DO THIS, MR. SHELBY. AGAIN, WE'LL GO AHEAD SO WE CAN GET THOSE FOCUS OUT OF HERE AND THEN WE'LL DEAL WITH THE BUSINESS AT HAND OF THE CHARTER ISSUES, OF THE RESIDENCY AND ALSO HOW IT SHOULD BE MADE WITH THE COUNCIL. >>MARTIN SHELBY: YOU CAN DO IT INDIVIDUALLY BUT ULTIMATELY IT'S ALL CONTAINED IN A RESOLUTION THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE VOTE TO EITHER MOVE THE RESOLUTION TO ADOPT THAT ACTION. >>ORLANDO GUDES: CORRECT. AGAIN, CHIEF, YOU CAN DO ONE AT A TIME, AND WE'LL GONE WITH THE WHOLE RESOLUTION BECAUSE IT IS ONE PACKET. AND WE WILL GO FROM THERE. AND THEN THEY CAN GO AFTER THAT AND DEAL WITH IT AFTER THAT. >>JOHN BENNETT: AND TODAY, OBVIOUSLY, OUR THREE CONFIRMATION CANDIDATES APPOINTED BY THE MAYOR, THIS IS A GREAT MOMENT FOR THEM. I KNOW WE HAVE THE MOMENT OF COUNCIL AND THE PROCESS PIECE BUT IT'S ALSO A VERY GOOD MOMENT FOR THEM. AND I THINK IT'S ONLY FAIR TO START IN THE PROCESSES OF SENIORITY SO I WOULD FIRST HAVE MS. ADRIANA-COLINA COME UP AND TELL YOU A LITTLE ABOUT HERSELF. >> GOOD AFTERNOON, COUNCIL MEMBERS. ADRIANA-COLINA, 32 VETERAN WITH THE CITY OF TAMPA, MY BACKGROUND IS HR PUBLIC RELATIONS, COMMUNICATIONS, AND REALLY COMMUNITY OUTREACH. PRIOR TO BEING GIVEN THE PRIVILEGE TO SERVE AS THE DIRECTOR OF THE LOGISTICS AND ASSET MANAGEMENT FOR THE CITY OF TAMPA I SERVED WITH THE SOLID WASTE DEPARTMENT WHERE I WORKED WITH MANY OF YOU AND WORKED OVER ASSET MANAGEMENT FOR THE SOLID WASTE DEPARTMENT. I AM PROUD TO HAVE SERVED THE CITY OF TAMPA FOR SO MANY YEARS AND GIVEN MY BEST. I REALLY LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING TO GIVE YOU ALL AND GIVE TAMPA ALL THAT I HAVE. THIS IS MY HOMETOWN, AND I LIVE IN THE DREAM TOWN. THANK YOU. >> I HAVE A QUESTION. YOU STARTED WHEN YOU WERE TEN? >> YES. I FORGOT ONE THING. 2018 TAMPA HISPANIC WOMAN OF THE YEAR. [ APPLAUSE ] >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. MANISCALCO, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I HEARD HER 12 YEARS AGO. YOU COULDN'T ASK FOR A BETTER PERSON. SHE HAS MY ENDORSEMENT. THAT'S ALL I CAN SAY. >> THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN. >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. DINGFELDER, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU, ALL YOU HAVE DONE OVER THE YEARS, WHAT YOU HAVE ACCOMPLISHED. I THINK YOU SHOULD GIVE A SHOUTOUT IN SPANISH BECAUSE IT'S ALWAYS SO ELOQUENT WHEN YOU DO. BUT CONGRATULATIONS. >> ADRIANA-COLINA. (SPEAKING SPANISH) >>JOHN DINGFELDER: GOT IT. >>JOHN BENNETT: THANK YOU. AND WE ARE VERY PROUD OF HER ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS WELL. I KNOW IT'S A GREAT HONOR TO SEE HER STEP INTO THIS ROLE. AND I WITNESSED FROM THE SIDELINE, I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW QUICK MS. COLINA RESPONDED TO ALL OF OUR PROJECTS IN REALTIME ESPECIALLY AFTER COVID CONDITIONS. SO WE ARE REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO HER ABILITIES IN SERVING THE PUBLIC IN OUR INTERNAL SERVICES. NEXT, I AM HONORED TO BRING UP SHA RUSH A HILLS WHO HAS BEEN APPOINTED BY THE MAYOR AS THE DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION. ALSO IN THE SCHEME OF PUBLIC SAFETY AND PUBLIC WORKS, OUR PARKS ARE ONE OF THE MOST FORWARD FACING DEPARTMENTS, THAT SERVE THE COMMUNITY, AND WE ARE VERY HONORED TO PRESENT YOU THAN MS. HILL. >> SHARISH: LIKE HER, RAISED IN TAMPA, NOTRE DAME, PLAYED A LITTLE BIT OF BASKETBALL, BUT I GREW UP IN THE PARKS OF THE CITY OF TAMPA, WENT TO CITY OF PARKS REC SUPERVISOR PROJECT SERVICE COORDINATOR, TO NOW DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECOLLECTION. HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS. THIS IS HOME. I'M HAPPY, HUMBLED AND HONORED TO HAVE THIS. THANK YOU. >>BILL CARLSON: I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS. THE CONSTITUENTS OF SOUTH TAMPA AS THE REST OF THE CITY REALLY CARE ABOUT THEIR PARKS AND FEEL PASSIONATELY AND WANT THEM TO IN GREAT CONDITION. AND I APPRECIATE YOUR RESPONSE AND CARE AND THEY LOVE WORKING WITH YOU. SO THANK YOU. >>JOSEPH CITRO: I THINK ALL MY HARD WORK PAID OFF WHENEVER I SAW THE MAYOR AND WHISPERED IN HER EAR, SHARISH HILL. CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU. YOU HAVE WORKED HARD TO GET TO WHERE YOU ARE AT. I AM SO PROUD OF YOU. CONGRATULATIONS. THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I WANT TO THANK BOTH. I TALKED TO MS. CORINA. AND I HAVE A CHALLENGE WITH YOU, MS. HILL. >>THE CLERK: YES, SIR. I'M ON IT. IF I CAN SHOOT THE BULLETS OKAY. I'M GOOD. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: WE'LL HAVE MR. BENNETT THE REFEREE. >> YOU DO IT. I'M STILL GOING TO BET ON HIM. I GOT HIM. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I HEARD YOU WORKED THROUGH THE SYSTEM AND THAT'S AN HONOR. >> THANK YOU, SIR. >>ORLANDO GUDES: LET ME SAY THIS. THIS COUNCIL HAS BEEN TALKING ABOUT YOU FROM DAY ONE. THIS COUNCIL HAS BEEN WAITING FOR THIS DAY. AND IT'S NO SLATE OF THE OTHER CANDIDATES THAT ARE HERE TODAY. BUT THIS COUNCIL HAS BEEN WAITING FOR THE ADMINISTRATION TO BRING YOU TO THIS COUNCIL FOR US. BECAUSE THE PEOPLE AND THE FOLKS IN YOUR DEPARTMENT SEE WHAT YOU ARE DOING. SOME OF THE OTHER GUYS, THEY SIT IN THE OFFICE ALL DAY AND PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHO THEY ARE. YOU ARE OUT THERE. YOU ARE WITH THE KIDS, PARENTS, COMMUNITY. THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE WANT TO SEE IN THEIR LEADERS. NOT SIT IN AN OFFICE SOMEWHERE AND DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON. AND I KNOW YOU DO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON BECAUSE YOU ARE OUT THERE. I HEAR FROM THE EMPLOYEES. EMPLOYEES HAVE BEEN CALLING US. MANAGERS HAVE BEEN CALLING US. SHE'S DOING A GREAT JOB. SO WE HEAR THESE THINGS. I MAKE NO BONES ABOUT IT. I TOLD MR. BENNETT, WHAT ARE WE WAITING ON? WHAT ARE WE WAITING ON? SO I AM GLAD THIS WAS DONE. IT NEEDED TO BE DONE. I'M PROUD OF YOU. THIS COMMUNITY, I KNOW THE COMMUNITY, WE HAVE THE FIRST AFRICAN FIRE CHIEF WHO HAS DONE A HELL OF A JOB FROM DAY ONE. NOW WE HAVE AN AFRICAN -- 80%, 90% AFRICAN? SO PEOPLE ARE PROUD OF WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THIS CITY. TALKED ABOUT EARLIER WITH OUR TWO HOURS -- THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE WANT TO SEE. THEY 2021 SEE CHANGE. I AM VERY PROUD OF YOU. YOU WORKED YOUR WAY. AND AGAIN, IT'S A LONG TIME COMING. I'M GLAD THAT THE CHIEF AND OCEA AND THE MAYOR MADE THE DECISION TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN. I'M VERY PROUD OF THIS DAY. CONTINUE TO DO WHAT YOU DO. THANK YOU, SHARISHA. >> THANK YOU, COUNCIL. [ APPLAUSE ] >>JOHN BENNETT: THANK YOU, CHAIRMAN. THANK YOU, COUNCIL. A TOTAL POSTSCRIPT ON SHARISHA BESIDES THE WONDERFUL THINGS YOU HEARD, I HAD A CHANCE TO HAVE SOME MEETINGS OUT IN IT COMMUNITY ESPECIALLY UNDER BUDGET DEVELOPMENT. I WANT TO HEAR SOME THINGS AT THE GROUND LEVEL ABOUT SOME OF THE PASSION AS WE DEVELOP THE FY 22 BUDGET. AND I HAVE HAD A CHANCE TO INTERTHE FACE WITH SOME OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD LEADERS THAT HAVE A HIGH SENSE OF COMMUNITY AROUND OUR PARKS. AND I CAN TELL YOU THE GRANULARITY THAT MS. HILLS HAS PROVIDED IN UNDERSTANDING, BECAUSE SHE GREW UP IN THE PARKS, FAMILIES USE THE PARKS, SO THERE'S THIS TACTILE UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT'S GOING ON THERE AND THAT'S REALLY GOING TO BE A GUAM CHANGER FOR US. I KNOW WE HAVE A LOT OF FIRSTS THAT HAVE BEEN COMING THROUGH BASED ON THE MAYOR'S APPOINTMENTS AND COUNCIL'S CONFIRMATION. BUT I WANT TO SAY IT'S ALL ABOUT THE BEST AND THE BRIGHTEST, TOO. THESE ARE THE BEST AND THE BRIGHTEST. AND MRS. HILLS WOULDN'T THROUGH A RIGOROUS REVIEW AGAINST NATIONWIDE CANDIDATES THAT WERE SUBMITTED OVER THE OPEN OPPORTUNITY TO APPLY FOR THIS POSITION. AND SO THAT VETTING PROCESS IS A TESTIMONY TO HER, HER ABILITIES. AND WE ACTUALLY LIFTED SOME CANDIDATES FROM A PREVIOUS RECRUITMENT THAT HAD A LOT OF PARKS BACKGROUND, AND MRS. HILLS JUST LIKE SHE DID IN BASKETBALL WHIPPED THEM ALL. I AM A LITTLE BIASED ON THE NOTRE DAME THING. OUR LAST CONFIRMATION RECOMMENDATION IS MR. ADAM SMITH. AS COUNCIL KNOWS, THE MAYOR REALLY WANTED TO EXAMINE THE COMMUNICATIONS PROCESS IN THIS CITY. PENETRATED THE NEIGHBORHOOD. THIS IS NOT FIRST TIME COUNCIL AND YOU HAVE HAD THESE DISCUSSIONS. WE HAVE TRIED TO ACCOMMODATE THINGS WITH SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENTS, AND THERE'S JUST NOTHING THAT TAKES THE PLACE OF GOOD LEADERSHIP, AND A GOOD STRATEGY AROUND COMMUNICATIONS. WITH THAT PROCESS, WE ARE PROUD TO BRING MR. ADAM SMITH TO THE LECTERN AND LET HIM INTRODUCE HIMSELF. >> ADAM SMITH: I'M SORRY IT'S A LET DOWN FOR ME TO COME UP AFTER THOSE TWO. IT'S GREAT TO BE HERE. I HAVE BEEN WORKING FOR ABOUT A WEEK. AND I CAN TELL YOU WHEN PEOPLE ASK ME HOW DO I LIKE THE JOB, ALL I SAY OVER AND OVER AGAIN IS THAT THE STAFF, WITHOUT EXCEPTION, THE WORK ETHIC AND THE PASSION AND THE COMMITMENT IS PHENOMENAL. AS I HAVE BEEN GETTING TO KNOW PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THE ORGANIZATION, AND YOU ALL SHOULD, AND I AM SURE YOU ARE ALL PROUD. SO I WOULD LOVE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. >>ORLANDO GUDES: I WILL BE THE FIRST TO ASK SINCE I'M THE CHAIRMAN. FROM DAY ONE, WE TALKED ABOUT COMMUNICATION. FROM DAY ONE. AND THE COMMUNICATION PERSON IS THE DIRECTOR OF THE CITY. THIS COUNCIL IS A PART OF THE CITY. WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT THINGS THAT WE HAVE GOING ON, THERE ARE THINGS WE WANT TO GET OUT. WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE ADMINISTRATION AND WE UNDERSTAND THAT AS WELL. THIS DOWNFALL COUNCIL WANTS THE PUBLIC TO KNOW WE ARE DOING THIS WELL, OUR WEBSITE, WE HAVE TO CALL ABOUT UPDATES AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SO I AM HOPING THAT WE HAVE A BETTER SENSE OF COMMUNICATION TO ALL OF OUR NEED. I CAN TALK ALL THE TIME ABOUT SITUATIONS IN OUR COMMUNITY. WE GET CALLS. WE KNOW NOTHING ABOUT. I AM HOPING THAT THE PHILOSOPHY WILL CHANGE. I'M HOPING THAT YOU BRING A DIFFERENT PHILOSOPHY TO THAT DEPARTMENT TO WHERE WE CAN GET NOTIFIED WHEN THINGS HAPPEN. WE HAD A BIG FIRE DOWNTOWN, DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT. HAD MULTIPLE SHOOTINGS. DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT. SO I AM HOPING THAT SOME OF THE COMMUNICATION PEOPLE AT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, POLICE, SOMEHOW IT INTERTWINES, SO THIS COUNCIL KNOWS WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE CITY AS WELL, BECAUSE HONESTLY WE HAVE A MAYOR, BUT PEOPLE NOTIFY THIS COUNCIL, FIRST E-MAIL THIS COUNCIL, BECAUSE THEY THINK WE ARE THE FIRST LINE. SO I AM HOPING THAT WE CAN GET A DIFFERENT PHILOSOPHY IN THE OFFICE. AGAIN, WELCOME ABOARD. >> THANK YOU. AND I AM EAGER TO HEAR ALL YOUR IDEAS FOR HOW WE CAN IMPROVE. >>ORLANDO GUDES: ANYONE ELSE? MR. CARLSON. >>BILL CARLSON: I WON'T REPEAT EVERYTHING HE JUST SAID BUT FROM A CONSTITUENT POINT OF VIEW WE ARE ALL THE SAME. THE CITY COUNCIL, THE MAYOR. IF ONE OF US GETS BLAMED, THEY ARE MAD AT ALL OF US. AND WE HAVE GOTTEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT CONSTITUENTS NOT BEING INFORMED FROM RATE INCREASES TO PUBLIC MEETINGS THAT ARE COMING UP TO TEARING UP ROADWAYS. A LOT OF TIMES WE GET PRESS RELEASES THAT ARE AT LEAST SENT TO US BUT WE GET THEM AT 9:00 AND THE RESIDENTS AT 8:00 SO IT'S TOO LATE FOR US TO NOTIFY. WE HAVE OUR ONLY OWN CHANNELS WE CAN USE, AND THE MORE TOOLS YOU GIVE US, THINK OF US AS A COMMUNICATION PARTNER WITH THE MAYOR AND STAFF, THE MORE WE CAN HELP ALL OF US DO A BETTER JOB, BECAUSE I KNOW THE MAYOR, CHIEF OF STAFF AND OTHERS IS TO COMMUNICATE EFFECTIVELY AND TO ENGAGE THE COMMUNITY TO MAKE SURE WE ARE LIVING UP TO THE EXPECTATIONS AND VISION OF THE COMMUNITY. SO I APPRECIATE THAT. AND ALSO, I HAVE KNOWN ADAM FOR A LONG TIME. AND HE WAS WITH THE TIMES. HE WAS A REPORTER AND AN EDITOR. AND VERY WELL EXPECTED AT THE TIMES. AND IN THE COMMUNITY. AND THEN HE WORKED FOR AN INTERNATIONAL PR FIRM SO HE HAS THAT EXPERTISE OF BEING ABLE TO LOOK SUCCESS ITEMICALLY AT COMMUNICATION. I THINK THAT'S WHAT WE NEED RIGHT NOW. WE THINK REALLY THE CITY HAS A 1.2 OR WHATEVER BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY FROM THE COMMUNICATION POINT OF VIEW AND HAS LOTS OF MOVING PARTS WITH LOTS OF CONSTITUENTS TO COMMUNICATE WITH AND HAVE CONFIDENCE THAT YOU WILL DO A GREAT JOB. THANK YOU. >>ORLANDO GUDES: ANYONE ELSE? >>JOSEPH CITRO: I AM JUST HOMING THAT ALL OF US WILL FORGET ANYTHING THAT ADAM WROTE ABOUT US PRAYER IN THE NEWSPAPERS. WELCOME ABOARD. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: ADAM, WELCOME. SO IT'S AN INTERESTING TRANSITION, AND I HAVE SEEN SOME OF YOUR FELLOW JOURNALISTS TO GO IN-HOUSE. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST SHOT TRULY IN-HOUSE. BUT I AM JUST CURIOUS PHILOSOPHICALLY WHAT SORT OF THOUGHTS YOU HAVE BEEN HAVING ABOUT THAT MOVE, JUST THE IDEA OF TRANSITIONING FROM COVERING CITY HALL TO BEING PART OF CITY HALL. >> I ACTUALLY THINK IT'S SEAMLESS. MY CAREER STARTED COVERING LOCAL GOVERNMENT IN A LITTLE TINY TOWN. AND SO I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN SORT OF A IDEALIST ABOUT GOVERNMENT, AND THE PEOPLE WHO WORK IN GOVERNMENT. SO I THINK IT'S PERFECT, A SEAMLESS TRANSITION. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: GREAT. >> JUST TELLING THE STORIES. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: WE ALL LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU. THERE ARE A LOT OF STORIES FROM THIS BODY THAT, AS MR. CHAIRMAN HAS INDICATED, THAT DON'T GET TOLD. AND SHOULD GET TOLD. AND YOU SAT HEAR FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF HOURS, JUST WATCHING THE MANE MANY ISSUES THAT WE DEAL WITH WEEK IN AND WEEK OUT. AND IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY GET OUT, BUT WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU TO CHANGE THAT. >> ABSOLUTELY. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: (SPEAKING SPANISH) >> OH-OH. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I AM SEWED I SAW YOU EARLY IN THE MORNING. I THOUGHT YOU WORKED FAST. ONLY JOKING. BUT NOT ONLY WRITE ABOUT YOURSELF WHEN YOU HEAR THIS GOVERNMENT YOU CAN GO BACK IN THE MANY ARTICLES YOU WROTE AND SEE HOW RIGHT OR WRONG OR MAYBE NOT SO RIGHT. >> I DON'T THINK I WANT TO DO THAT. THANK YOU. [ LAUGHTER ] >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: CONGRATULATIONS. >> THANK YOU. THIS BEING IN YOUR COMMITTEE. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I AM HONORED TO MOVE ITEM NUMBER 42. SUBSTITUTE MOTION ON THE ITEM JUST CONFIRMING THE THREE INDIVIDUALS THAT SPOKE EARLIER TODAY. >>ORLANDO GUDES: SECOND BY MR. MANISCALCO. ROLL CALL PLEASE. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YES. CONGRATULATIONS. >>BILL CARLSON: YES. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES. >>LUIS VIERA: YES.% >>JOSEPH CITRO: YES, THREE NEW MEMBERS TO THE FAMILY. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: YES. >>ORLANDO GUDES: YES. >>THE CLERK: MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. >>BILL CARLSON: I WANT TO THANK THE MAYOR AND CHIEF BENNETT AND OTHERS. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I READ ABOUT THIS ADMINISTRATION IS THAT YOU REALLY HAVE BROUGHT IN, AS YOU ALLUDED TO EARLIER, A TOP NOTCH TEAM OF PEOPLE. EVERYBODY THAT YOU ALL BROUGHT IN AT THE SENIOR LEADERSHIP AND OTHERS IS VERY IMPRESSIVE AND I THINK WE ALL OUGHT TO BRAG ABOUT THE ADMINISTRATION MORE, AND THEN CALL THE PEOPLE THAT YOU ARE BRINGING ON, AND THEN THE DILIGENCE THAT EVERYBODY TAKES IN MAKING SURE WE ARE DOING THE RIGHT THINGS AND WE ARE SOLVING THE PROBLEMS OF CONSTITUENTS. THANK YOU. >>ORLANDO GUDES: ALL RIGHT. WE MOVE ON TO MS. ZELMAN AND MR. BENNETT IN REFERENCE TO THE ACTUAL CHARTER POLICY, AND THE ACTUAL RESIDENCY POLICY. >>ANDREA ZELMAN: JUST TO CLARIFY, THE RESOLUTION THAT YOU JUST APPROVED, THERE WERE TWO CHARTER PROVISIONS REFERENCED THEREIN, WHICH I BELIEVE IS WHAT YOU ARE ASKING ABOUT. ONE IS SECTION 6.03, WHICH PROVIDES THAT 90 DAYS AFTER TAKING OFFICE OR 90 DAYS AFTER A VACANCY OCCURS, THE MAYOR IS TO APPOINT SOMEONE TO SERVE AS A DEPARTMENT HEAD OR THE EQUIVALENT THEREOF, AND THEN SUBMIT THAT NAME TO THE CITY COUNCIL FOR CONFIRMATION BY A MAJORITY OF THE CITY COUNCIL, AND I WOULD NOTE THAT PRIOR TO THE CHARTER REVIEW COMMISSION ON WHICH WE ALL SERVE, THE MAYOR ONLY HAS 30 DAYS TO DO THAT. NOW IT'S 90 DAYS. BUT ALSO PROVIDES THAT IF THE COUNCIL DOES NOT CONFIRM THE APPOINTMENT OF THE MAYOR, AND THEN THE MAYOR HAS ANOTHER 90 DAYS TO EITHER SUBMIT A NEW NAME OR RESUBMIT A NAME THAT WAS JUST APPROVED. AND AGAIN THAT WAS SHORTENED. IT WAS PREVIOUSLY THE MAYOR ONLY HAD 15 DAYS TO DO THAT AFTER DISAPPROVAL. NOW SHE HAS 90. ADDED THAT TIME IN WITH THE CHARTER REVIEW COMMISSION. AND THEN WITH THE CHARTER CHANGES THAT WERE RECOMMENDED BY THE CHARTER REVIEW COMMISSION, AND I BELIEVE THE OTHER PART YOU WERE ASKING ABOUT, SECTION 6.01, WHICH IS THAT PART OF THE CHARTER THAT PROVIDES THAT DEPARTMENT HEADS OR ADMINISTRATIVE PERSONNEL WITH THE RESPONSIBILITY EQUAL TO OR GREATER THAN A DEPARTMENT HEAD, MUST BE RESIDENT OF THE CITY. PREVIOUSLY, THE CHARTER JUST SAID THAT AND WAS SILENT. THE CHARTER REVIEW COMMISSION RECOMMENDED AND THE VOTERS APPROVED A PROCESS WHEREBY A DEPARTMENT HEAD COULD KEEP A WAIVER OF THAT RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT FOR ONE YEAR, AND THEN COULD REQUEST TWO SUBSEQUENT EXTENSIONS OF THAT REQUIREMENT, WHICH IS WHAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU TODAY. YOU HAVE SEVERAL INDIVIDUAL WHO HAVE PREVIOUSLY BEEN GRANTED RESIDENCY WAIVERS, WHO ASKED FOR AN ADDITIONAL ONE-YEAR EXTENSION. >>BILL CARLSON: SOME OF US SERVED ON THAT COMMISSION TOGETHER. THAT ISSUE WAS RAISED BECAUSE OF A PARTICULAR SITUATION IN THE LAST ADMINISTRATION, WHICH I WON'T GO THROUGH. MAYBE SOMEBODY ELSE WILL. AND THE CHECKS AND BALANCES THAT ARE IN THERE. BUT AS I JUST MENTIONED A MINUTE AGO, WE HAVE VERY GOOD STAFF NOW, AND AT LEAST ONE OF THEM SITTING OVER THERE, AND WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO NEXT YEAR? THE CHARTER WANT LAO US TO EXTEND IT. ARE WE GOING TO LOSE PEOPLE IF THEY CAN'T MOVE? >>ANDREA ZELMAN: I DON'T KNOW. THAT IS A VERY GOOD QUESTION WHICH SOME OF US HAVE ALSO PONDERED. AND AS YOU KNOW, WE SERVED ON THE CHARTER REVIEW COMMISSION TOGETHER. I WAS AMONG THOSE ON THE CHARTER REVIEW COMMISSION THAT AGREED WITH I BELIEVE IT WAS MICHAEL STEVENS WHO HAD SERVED AS AN HR DIRECTOR AT USF THAT ADVOCATED FOR DOING AWAY WITH THE RESIDENCY REQUIREMENTS BECAUSE IN HIS OPINION, AND I TEND TO AGREE, IT REALLY LIMITS THE ABILITY TO HIRE THE BEST AND THE BRIGHTEST WHEN WE ARE NO LONGER LIVING IN THE KIND OF SOCIETY WHERE THERE'S JUST A SINGLE BREADWINNER IN THE HOUSE AND ALL THAT. WE NOW HAVE SITUATIONS WHERE, FOR INSTANCE, YOU MAY HAVE A MARRIED COUPLE WHERE THE HUSBAND WORKS IN HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, THE WAIVE WORKS IN SARASOTA COUNTY, THEY WANT TO LIVE IN APOLLO BEACH, TO LIVE HALFWAY IN BETWEEN. YOU HAVE PEOPLE CARRYING FOR ELDERLY RELATIVES. YOU HAVE PEOPLE CARING FOR GRANDCHILDREN. THEY WANT TO BE ABLE TO LIVE NEAR THOSE FAMILY MEMBERS. THEY HAVE KIDS IN A PARTICULAR SCHOOL DISTRICT, THEY WANT TO BE ABLE TO LIVE THERE. YOU HAVE A SITUATION RATE NOW IN TAMPA WHERE THE COST OF HOMES AND APARTMENTS HAVE JUST RISEN PHENOMENAL, AND IS IT REALLY TRULY NECESSARY FOR PEOPLE TO LIVE IN A CITY? I AM GETTING WELL OFF YOUR QUESTION, BUT AS YOU RECALL, THOSE WERE THE ISSUES WE DISCUSSED AT THE CHARTER REVIEW COMMISSION. THOSE OF US THAT BELIEVE IN DOING AWAY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS LOST, BUT IF YOU WILL, THE COMPROMISE THAT YOU MENTIONED CAME UP WITH THIS PROCESS WHERE PEOPLE COULD AT LEAST GET EXTENSIONS. SHOULD THE COUNCIL WANT TO REVISIT THAT AND PERHAPS RECOMMEND AMENDING THE CHARTER TO DO AWAY WITH THE RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT, THAT WOULD BE ONE OPTION. STILL GOING TO HAVE A YEAR GAP. FOUGHT FOR IT, AND WE WERE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR OR THINKING ABOUT WORSE CASE SCENARIO. WELL, THIS IS THE BEST CASE SNARE WHERE WOO WE HAVE PEOPLE WE REALLY 2021 KEEP BUT WE HAVE NO PLACE TO BY CHARTER, IS THAT RIGHT? >>ANDREA ZELMAN: YOU DO NOT HAVE THE FLEXIBILITIES TO GRANT% ANOTHER WAIVER AFTER THE THIRD ONE. THAT'S CORRECT. AFTER THE THIRD YEAR HAS EXPIRED. >>BILL CARLSON: I THINK WE HAVE TO THINK AHEAD BECAUSE WE COULD LOSE REALLY GOOD PEOPLE. THEY WILL LEAVE MAYBE BEFORE THEN. BUDGET WE DON'T HAVE ANY REMEDIES? BECAUSE WE CAN'T AMEND THE CHARTER, I DON'T THINK, BEFORE THEN EITHER. ZELL I AM TRYING -- >>ANDREA ZELMAN: I AM TRYING TO DO THE MATH IN MY HEAD OF WHEN THE ELECTION IS AND I BELIEVE YOU ARE CORRECT. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN. I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT THE REQUIREMENT WAS SILLY AND ANACHRONISTIC. AND FRANKLY WHEN I THINK WHEN WE GET TO THE POINT OF DISCUSSING CHARTER ISSUES AND TWEAKS, THIS IS AN IMPORTANT ONE. I THINK IT'S REASONABLE TO REQUIRE IMPORTANT DIRECTORS LIKE THIS TO LIVE WITHIN 25 MINUTES OF THE CITY, OR 30 MINUTES OF THE CITY OR SOMETHING. OR 30 MILES OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. BECAUSE WHEN AN EMERGENCY COMES UP, THEY CAN GET BACK HERE QUICKLY. BUT IF SOMEBODY CHOOSES TO LIVE ACROSS THE BRIDGE IN ST. PETE OR WHATEVER, UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES FINE WITH ME. WE DON'T OWN PEOPLE 24/7. AND IF THEY WANT TO GO HOME TO A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT COMMUNITY, EVEN LIVE IN TEMPLE TERRACE, WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE IF THEY LIVE IN TEMPLE TERRACE OR YOU LIVE IN NEW TAMPA? RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER, RIGHT, LUIS? BUT IN REGARD TO THIS OTHER ISSUE, I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT, 6.03 ANDREA? THE OTHER THING I THINK WE NEED TO TWEAK OR AT LEAST PROPOSE TO THE VOTERS TO TWEAK IS THIS ISSUE THAT THE MAYOR APPOINTS -- IT'S JUST STRANGE WORDING. THE MAYOR APPOINTS DEPARTMENT HEADS, AND THEN WE CONFIRM THEM. WHICH JUST TO ME IS JUST BAD LANGUAGE. TO ME IT SHOULD BE THE MAYOR NOMINATES THE DEPARTMENT HEADS, ET CETERA, ET CETERA, AND THEN WE CONFIRM, OR NOT CONFIRM. BUT APPOINTMENT APPLIES IT, AND I KNOW WHOEVER WROTE THIS AGES AGO DIDN'T MEAN THAT THE WAY BUT IT'S JUST THE WAY IT'S SHAKEN OUT OVER THE YEARS. SO THAT'S JUST A MATTER OF SEMANTICS. I APPRECIATE MR. BENNETT, YOU AND THE MAYOR AGREEING TO THIS PROCESS. AND NOW YOU CAN AD ADD YOUR PARTIES AND YOUR CEREMONIES, ET CETERA, AFTER WE CONFIRM. I THINK IT JUST MAKES A LITTLE MORE SENSE. WE APPRECIATE THAT. >>ORLANDO GUDES: ANYONE ELSE? >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. UNDER THE RECORD REQUIREMENT ALONG WITH COUNCILMAN CARLSON'S CONVERSATION WITH YOU, WHICH I AGREE WITH, WHEN IS THIS YEAR THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT? WE REALLY ONLY HAVE A YEAR AND A HALF LOOK WHEN YOU LOOK AT THREE YEARS, AND LESS THAN TWO YEARS. I THINK THE ELECTION IS, WHAT, 2023 IN APRIL, AND MARCH, SOMETHING LIKE THAT? SO IF YOU GET FROM ONE YEAR, WHEN DOES IT START, WHEN DOES IT END, AND HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU HAVE BEFORE THE TERM OF FOUR YEARS ARE UP? >>ANDREA ZELMAN: WELL, TODAY, YOU APPROVED THE EXTENSION FOR THE INDIVIDUALS NAMED IN THAT RESOLUTION, SO EFFECTIVE TODAY, THEY EACH HAVE ONE ADDITIONAL YEAR, JULY 15th. SO UNTIL JULY 15th, 2022. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: ABOUT NINE MONTHS THEN. >>ANDREA ZELMAN: YOU MANY PRAYER TO THE NEXT ELECTION. CORRECT. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: SO THIS IS THEIR SECOND YEAR THEN. >>ANDREA ZELMAN: CORRECT. THEY JUST COMPLETED THEIR -- >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: WHAT DOES RESIDENC REQUIREMENT MEAN, THAT YOU HAVE TO DO WHAT? >>ANDREA ZELMAN: IT ACTUALLY SAYS RESIDE IN AND BE AN ELECTOR OF THE CITY. SO RESIDE WITHIN -- >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: REQUIREMENT. THANK YOU. >>ORLANDO GUDES: ANYONE ELSE? MS. ZELMAN, AS A PERSON WHO WAS ON THE CHARTER REVIEW, I DIDN'T SUPPORT THE POLICE CHIEF LIVING WAY OUT SOMEPLACE. AND OTHERS ON THE BOARD DIDN'T SUPPORT THAT EITHER. BUT WE DID MAKE A COMPROMISE. AND I SAID THIS WILL COME BACK TO BITE US BECAUSE IF YOU LOOK AT IT, THE ADMINISTRATION IS FOUR YEARS. HOW DOES THAT BALANCE OUT? IT DOESN'T. AND NOW WE ARE GOING TO BE NO PICKLE GENTLEMEN. BECAUSE THERE IS A RULE IN PLACE THAT WE MAY NOT CAN CHANGE TO BE ABLE TO KEEP THOSE GOOD PEOPLE THAT WE WANT BECAUSE IT'S IN PLACE. SO WHEN WE GET DOWN TO, MR. SHELBY, OUR CHARTER WORKSHOP, IS IT SOMETHING WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO LOOK AT GOING FORWARD DEFINITELY? MS. ZELMAN, THE 90 DAYS, WHEN I HEARD THE 90 DAYS, I KNOW YOU PUT THAT IN THE FIRST AND THIRD. VACANCY BECOMES AVAILABLE. THE MAYOR HAS 90 DAYS TO FILL THAT VACANCY. CORRECT? IS THAT HOW IT READS? >>ANDREA ZELMAN: IT READS -- AND I'M SORRY, I WILL QUOTE THE RECORD RATHER THAN TRYING TO PARAPHRASE. IT SAYS THE MAYOR WITHIN 90 DAYS AFTER TAKING OFFICE, OR AFTER A VACANCY SHALL EXIST, SHALL APPOINT AND SUBMIT TO THE CITY COUNCIL FOR CONFIRMATION BY NO FEWER THAN FOUR VOTES OF THE ENTIRE COUNCIL, HEAD OF DEPARTMENTS AND ANY ADMINISTRATIVE PERSONNEL WITH ADMINISTRATIVE AUTHORITY OR RESPONSIBILITY EQUAL TO OR GREATER THAN THAT OF THE DEPARTMENT HEAD. , SO THE MAYOR JUST GOT ELECTED, OR RATHER A VACANCY OCCURRED WHILE SHE'S IN OFFICE, 90 DAYS APPLIES. CORRECT? >>ANDREA ZELMAN: 930 DAYS TO APPOINT SOMEONE AND SENT THAT NAME TO CITY COUNCIL. >>ORLANDO GUDES: I THINK THIS IS GOOD SO WE CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT POLICY IS, WHAT THE CHARTER SAYS. WE HAVE GOT SOME WORK TO DO ON SOME OF THESE. >>ORLANDO GUDES: BUT NOW I BELIEVE RIGHT NOW IS I THINK COUNCIL FEELS COMFORTABLE NOW, I THINK THE PROCESS KIND OF WORKED TODAY TO WHERE THE CHIEF BROUGHT THOSE NOMINEES TO THIS COUNCIL, WE WERE ABLE TO ASK QUESTIONS. SO SOMEBODY THAT ASKED A QUESTION THEY DIDN'T LIKE, BUT I THINK THAT'S THE WAY THE SYSTEM IS SUPPOSED TO WORK FOR CONFIRMATION, IS THE MAYOR SUBMITS THAT NAME, AND SHE GIVES IT THE BENEFIT, YOU NEED TO -- SUBMIT THIS NAME AND SAY TAKE THIS PERSON AROUND TO COUNCIL AND UNDERSTAND IN CASE THIS COUNCILMAN HAS QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS ISSUE, SO THAT PERSON KNOWS THAT COUNCIL IS LOOKING FOR CERTAIN THINGS, NOT JUST A VOTE ON SOMETHING. EVEN THOUGH YOU WANT TO GET PEOPLE YOU WANT. BUT I'M JUST SAYING, I THOUGHT THIS WAS A BETTER PROCESS TO BE WHAT WE GOT, TO KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT THEM, ASK QUESTIONS. SO WE UNDERSTAND HOW THESE -- I THINK THAT'S A BETTER PROCESS VERSUS THE WAY IT KIND OF READS, WHICH IS -- AGAIN, THAT WAS THE INTENT, BUT THAT'S NOT INTERPRETED. SO I THINK WE GOT SOME WORK DOWN THE ROAD, GENTLEMEN. AND AGAIN, WE ARE GOING TO TALK TO CHIEF BENNETT AND GINA ABOUT PEOPLE THAT HAVE RESIDENCY ISSUES. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: REAL QUICK IN REGARDS TO THE RESIDENCY AND THE ONE YEAR AND THE FACT THAT WE CANNOT EXTEND THAT, SO BASICALLY WHEN THAT ONE YEAR COMES UP -- >>MARTIN SHELBY: I'M SORRY TO BUT THE CHARTER AS HAS BEEN AMENDED ALLOWS FOR TWO ONE-YEAR EXTENSIONS TO THE WAIVER. SO IT'S A TOTAL OF THREE YEARS, AS I UNDERSTAND IT. IS THAT CORRECT, MS. ZELMAN? SO IN OTHER WORDS, AS WHAT HAPPENED TODAY, IF I UNDERSTAND CORRECTLY, THIS IS THE LAST OF THE EXTENSIONS THAT ARE ALLOWABLE UNDER THE CHARTER FOR THOSE NAMED INDIVIDUALS. SO THEY HAVE GOTTEN WAIVERS TWICE BEFORE. OR THIS IS THE SECOND OF TWO. AN INITIAL WAIVER AND THEN TWO ONE-YEAR EXTENSIONS. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: JULY 15th OF NEXT YEAR THEY REACH THEIR DEADLINE, CORRECT? >>MARTIN SHELBY: UNDER THE CHARTER YES, UNLESS THERE'S A WAY THEY CAN BE ADDRESSED. IF IT'S THE CONSENSUS OF COUNCIL IF THEY WOULD LIKE THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT -- >>> IF THOSE INDIVIDUALS WOULD RESIGN THE DAY BEFORE AND THEN THE MAYOR REAPPOINTS THEM THE NEXT DAY, AND -- DO WE RESET THE ENTIRE PROCESS? >>MARTIN SHELBY: YOU ASK AN INTERESTING QUESTION BECAUSE IT ALSO RAISES AN ISSUE THAT IN THE PAST WHAT WE HAVE HAD IS A POSITION BEINGED AS BEING INTERIM, AND I DON'T BELIEVE THAT PROVISION OF THE CHARTER REFERENCES WHAT THE CONCEPT OF INTERIM IS, AND THE PERSONNEL MANUAL CAN TELL YOU WHAT THAT SAYS, BUT THAT HAS BEEN DONE IN THE PAST IN TERMS OF APPOINTMENTS. SOMEBODY FILLING A POSITION IN AN INTERIM CAPACITY. AND MAYBE MS. ZELMAN CAN SPEAK TO THAT. >>ANDREA ZELMAN: I WAS GOING TO SUGGEST, AND MR. SHELBY JUST TOUCHED ON THIS, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION FOR US TO EXPLORE OPTIONS FOR WAYS BY WHICH SOME OF THE INDIVIDUALS WE ARE TALKING ABOUT COULD CONTINUE TO SERVE AFTER JULY 15th, 2022, SHOULD THEY NOT BY THEN BE RESIDENTS AND ELECTORS OF THE CITY, WE WOULD BE GLAD TO RESEARCH A WAY TO MAKE THAT -- >>ORLANDO GUDES: MY QUESTION IS HOW MANY ARE IN THIS POSITION? HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE IN THIS POSITION? >>ANDREA ZELMAN: I DON'T HAVE IT THE RESOLUTION IN FRONT OF ME. YOU HAVE IT RIGHT THERE? >>MARTIN SHELBY: THE CLERK HAS IT BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY OTHERS HAVE BEEN GRANTED -- -- ANDS ALSO, MR. CHAIRMAN, WHILE THAT'S BEING REFERENCED AND LOOKED UP, JUST A REMAINDER THAT THERE'S ALSO A GENERAL ELECTION COMING UP IN 2022 THAT MAY BE ALSO AN OPPORTUNITY FOR BALLOT QUESTIONS AS OPPOSED TO AMPALEX. YOU HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY AS WELL IF YOU WANT TO DO IT. BUT TO ADDRESS THE TIMELINE AS WE ARE FACING NOW. >>ANDREA ZELMAN: FIVE PEOPLE THAT WERE EXTENDED THAT IN EFFECT RECEIVED THEIR LAST EXTENSION TODAY. >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. CARLSON. >>BILL CARLSON: BECAUSE THEY ARE HERE WOULD YOU PERMIT ME TO MAKE THAT MOTION NOW TO ASK STAFF TO COME BACK, I DON'T KNOW WHAT DATE, WITH SUGGESTIONS ON WHAT TO DO REGARDING THE RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT FOR THE MANAGERS OF THE CITY? >> WHEN? >>BILL CARLSON: I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE THAT MOTION. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: AUGUST 26th. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I LIKE ALL THESE PEOPLE. I THINK THEY HAVE DONE AN OUTSTANDING JOB. FIND SOMEBODY HOW TO VIOLATE THE LAW. I DON'T 2021 GO THERE I REALLY DON'T. I MEAN, I LOVE THESE PEOPLE. BUT FOR ME TO DO THAT. AND I AM NOT DISAGREEING WITH YOU. WHAT DOES RESIDENCY MEAN? WHEN SHE TOLD ME TWO THINGS, I SAID, THAT CAN'T BE. IF RESIDENCY WAS JUST AN ADDRESS WITH RENT PAYMENT, WHEN I SEE NOW ALL THIS ELECTRONIC STUFF, HALF MY FAMILY -- THEY WORK FROM THE HOUSE. I MEAN, NOBODY SEES THEM. ESPECIALLY THE YOUNG PEOPLE THAT COME OUT OF COLLEGE. THEY ARE WORKING FROM THE HOUSE. SO WHAT I AM SAYING IS -- THE TRANSPORTATION PROBLEM WAS VERY LITTLE. ONLY ONE BRIDGE TO ST. PETE. TO GO TO CLEARWATER YOU HAD TO GO ALL THE WAY DOWN TO HILLSBOROUGH AVENUE. BY THE TIME YOU GOT THERE IT WAS TWO DAYS LATER. AND I WOULD IMAGINE THAT'S WHY IT WAS THERE. BUT TECHNOLOGY HAS COME THROUGH, AND IT CHANGED THINGS AROUND. SO IT MADE THINGS MUCH EASIER. NONE OF THESE DEPARTMENT HEADS -- AND MAYBE THEY GOT TO BE HERE SOMETIME. THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE HERE ALL THE TIME. IF UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES DONE LIKE THAT, EVEN IN MEDICINE. ROBOTIC MEDICINE. NOW, WHOEVER THOUGHT A ROBOT WOULD KNOW HOW TO OPERATE. JUST THINK OF THAT. SO THINGS CHANGE. THERE'S WHERE WE ARE AT TODAY. SOCIETY HAS DIFFERENT VALUES, DIFFERENT LASS. AS I UNDERSTAND IT, AND I AGREE WITH YOU, I JUST DON'T WANT TO GO THERE, AND LAB WHAT THEY ARE DOING THERE. AND I DON'T WANT TO DO THAT. >>ANDREA ZELMAN: TWO THINGS. I HEARD SOMEONE SAY THAT AUGUST 26th, AND THAT WOULD NOT BE ENOUGH TIME IN ADDITION FOR US TO RESEARCH THIS ISSUE. AND THEN IN ADDITION, I KNOW BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT IT, YOUR AUGUST 26th AGENDA IS VERY LONG ALREADY. SO WE WOULD NEED TIME TO RESEARCH. >>ORLANDO GUDES: MRS. ZELMAN, I KNOW WE HAVE A WORKSHOP COMING UP IN REFERENCE TO THE CHARTER ISSUE. THAT WOULD BE A BETTER TIME TO DO THAT. >>ANDREA ZELMAN: I AGREE. >>ORLANDO GUDES: WE HAVE A LOT OF ISSUES ON THE CHARTER WE NEED TO DISCUSS. >>ANDREA ZELMAN: I WOULD AGREE WITH THAT. AND I WANT TO BE CLEAR TO MR. MIRANDA'S POINT, WE CERTAINLY WOULDN'T BE LOOKING FOR WAYS TO VIOLATE THE LAW OR GET AROUND THE LAW. WE JUST WANT TO COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND THE LEGAL IMPACT OF THAT PARTICULAR CHARTER PROVISION AND WHAT IT MEANS WHEN THOSE WAIVERS EXPIRE. >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. SHELBY. >>MARTIN SHELBY: JUST AN OBSERVATION COUNCIL. AND MR. MIRANDA MENTIONED, ALLUDED TO THE FACT OF THIS PROVISION, AND JUST A REMAINDER, IT WAS A RESULT OF A RECOMMENDATION FROM THE CHARTER REVIEW COMMISSION ULTIMATELY THAT GOT PRESENTED TO COUNCIL WHICH THEN MADE A DECISION OH TO PUT IT ON THE BALLOT AND IT NOW HAD BEEN THE LAST OPPORTUNITY FOR THE VOTERS TO BE DO THAT ALONG WITH THE OTHER CHARTER AMENDMENT WAS APPROVED BY THE VOTERS. IT IS NOW IN YOUR CHARTER AND IT WAS -- THE VOTERS CHOSE TO PLACE IT THERE. THIS IS THE FIRST OPPORTUNITY. IT'S A -- THIS PROVISION AS IT'S CONSTRUCTED IS NEW. SO NOW YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE WHAT THE PRACTICAL EFFECTS ARE ONCE THIS THING HAS BEEN ENACTED, AND OBVIOUSLY YOU GET THAT OPPORTUNITY TO EVALUATE THAT, BUT ULTIMATELY JUST REMEMBER, I ASK YOU TO MINDFUL OF THE FACT THAT THE CHARTER IS CHOSEN BY THE PEOPLE. IT'S THE PEOPLE'S CHARTER AND OBVIOUSLY ULTIMATELY WHATEVER PROVISION WILL REFLECT THE VOTER'S WILL. >>ORLANDO GUDES: ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, GENTLEMEN? >>BILL CARLSON: I DON'T THINK THAT MOTION GOT A SECOND. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MOVE THE RESOLUTION WITH THAT INCLUDING THE RESIDENCIES WAIVER. >>MARTIN SHELBY: MR. CHAIRMAN? , YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. >>MARTIN SHELBY: IF YOU WISH THIS TO BE CONSIDERED AT THE WORKSHOP IN FEBRUARY, IF THAT'S ACCEPTABLE, THEN YOU COULD MAKE A MOTION THAT IS THE CONSENSUS OF COUNCIL TO HAVE THAT BE CONSIDERED AS PART OF THAT WORKSHOP. >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. SHELBY, EVERY TIME YOU TALK ABOUT A CHARTER ISSUE THAT COMES UP, I DON'T THINK WE NEED A MOTION FOR THAT. WE KNOW THAT'S AN ISSUE. >>MARTIN SHELBY: UNDERSTOOD. >>ORLANDO GUDES: I DON'T THINK WE NEED A MOTION FOR THAT. WE KNOW THAT'S AN ISSUE. AND ANY OTHER ISSUE TO MAKE SURE WE ADDRESS THOSE ISSUES. >>MARTIN SHELBY: I WILL -- I WILL DO THAT. AND I APPRECIATE -- THIS IS THE FIRST OPPORTUNITY FOR THIS COUNCIL TO DISCUSS THIS ISSUE PUBLICLY AMONGST YOURSELVES, SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. I APPRECIATE THAT OPPORTUNITY. >>ORLANDO GUDES: AND THE REASON I SAY THAT, AND MR. MIRANDA IS RATE, WE CAN'T CHANGE OUR WAYS BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THE LAW SAYS. WE CAN'T DO IT. WE GAVE IT TO THE VOTERS. THIS DECIDED. I KNOW WE HAVE TO GO BACK AS YOU SAID, AND FIND ALTERNATIVES IN THE MEANTIME. I THINK THOSE ISSUES NEED TO COME UP AT CHARTER REVIEW TIME. MR. CARLSON. >>BILL CARLSON: THE MOTION WASN'T SECONDED ANYWAY BUT I WOULD LIKE TO WITHDRAW THAT MOTION AND CONSIDERING THE DISCUSSION WE JUST HAD AND LOOK FORWARD TO DISCUSSING IT IN IT FUTURE. TO MR. MIRANDANS POINTED I ON THE WANT TO STAY WITHIN THE LAW ALSO. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: NO, I AM NOT SAYING THAT AT ALL. JUST SAY THAT. IF I DID I APOLOGIZE IF YOU TOOK IT THAT QUAY. YOU CAN SOLVE A LEGAL PROBLEM. YOU WILL NEVER SOLVE A PROBLEM OF SOMETHING THAT GOT VOLUMINOUS THINGS AND THE PUBLIC DOESN'T UNDERSTAND ALL OF IT. IN OTHER WORDS, YOU CAN SOLVE A PROBLEM, BUT YOU CAN'T SOLVE A PERCEPTION PUBLIC PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM WILL ALWAYS BE IN SOMEBODY'S MANNED, IF IT'S NOT ADDRESSED VERY CLEARLY. AND THAT'S ALL I AM SAYING. >>BILL CARLSON: I THINK THAT CRITICISM IN THE PAST WAS ABOUT LEGAL ISSUES. IN THIS CASE TO BE REALLY CLEAR I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE FOLLOW THE LAW AND IF IT'S NOT A LEGAL SOLUTION I WOULD NOT BE IN FAVOR OF IT. THANK YOU. >>ORLANDO GUDES: ALL RIGHT, SIR, THANK YOU. MOVING RIGHT ALONG. NUMBER 101. WE DID 99. OH NO. WE ARE ON STAFF NOW. AND MOST OF THESE ARE JUST GOING TO BE QUICK VOTES ANYWAY. PARDON ME? 101. THESE ARE GOING TO BE QUICK VOTES. REAL QUICK. >>RON WIGGINTON: LEGAL DEPARTMENT. ITEM 101 IS A REQUEST TO REDEES AN EASEMENT WITHIN THE SUBJECT PROPERTY LOCATED AT 505 LOYAL PALM WAY. THIS ITEM WAS CONTINUED FROM THE JUNE 3rd MEETING BECAUSE OF COMMENTS MADE ABOUT POTENTIAL LITIGATION. IN FACT, A COMPLAINT HAS SINCE BEEN FILED, BUT AS MR. WEINGART MENTIONED TODAY EARLIER IN PUBLIC COMMENTS, THAT THIS RELEASE IS SEPARATE AND A PARTED FROM THE RELEASE SOUGHT IN THAT COMPLAINT. THE EASEMENT OF QUESTION IS THE CITY OF TAMPA UTILITY EASEMENT WHICH WAS RESERVED IN 19 WILL 2 -- 1982 BY VACATING ORDINANCE 79-17-A AND THE PURPOSE OF THIS EASEMENT WAS TO PLACE PUBLIC UTILITIES IN THE REAR OF THE LOTS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND WAS NEVER INTENDED TO SERVE AS A BUFFER. CURRENTLY THERE ARE NO PUBLIC UTILITIES IN THE AREA AND NONE ARE NEEDED IN THE FUTURE. ANY OTHER EASEMENT WHICH MAY HAVE BEEN RESERVED BY THE DEVELOPER BACK IN 1924 ARE NOT AFFECTED BY THIS RELEASE. IT IS PROPER TO PROCEED WITH THIS REQUEST AND MR. SIEMENS IS HERE TO PROVIDE A BRENTATION. THANK YOU. >> ROSS SIEMENS, RIGHT-OF-WAY COORDINATOR IN TAMPA. I PUT TOGETHER SOME INFORMATION FOR YOU. THE PRESENTATION HEAR FOR THE RELEASE OF EASEMENT AND HOW THE PROCESS GOES. THERE WERE NO OBJECTIONS FROM CITY OF TAMPA STORMWATER, WASTEWATER, AND THE WATER DEPARTMENT. PAGE 3. YOU WILL NOTICE THAT THERE ARE FOUR QUESTIONS ON THAT SHEET. THE FIRST OBVIOUSLY, DO YOU HAVE UTILITIES TO BE RELEASED? AND -- DO YOU HAVE FACILITIES TO BE RELEASED? WILL SUBJECT EASEMENT BE NEEDED IN THE FUTURE? IF FACILITIES OCCUPY EASEMENT TO BE RELEASED IS IT POSSIBLE TO HAVE THEM RELOCATED? DO YOU OBJECT TO THIS EASEMENT RELEASE? AND PRIVATE ENTITIES OUTSIDE THE CITY. AND GOT ANOTHER PAGE HERE SHOWING FOUR INSTANCES OF OUTSIDE THE CITY. AND WE HAVE TEAK OOH ELECTRIC AND GAS, FRONTIER, AND SPECTRUM. AND THEY HAVE ALL SIGNED OFF. THEY HAVE NO FOUGHT USE NEEDED THERE. AND THEY HAVE IN A FACILITIES WITHIN THE EASEMENT. AND THAT'S WHAT THIS SHOWS. JUST BRIEFLY, THIS IS A CLIP OF THE ACTUAL PLAT. AND THE APPLICANT IS THE OWNER OF LOT 4, BLOCK E, INTERSECTION OF LOT 3. AND THE VACATING IS RELATING TO THIS -- RELEASE IS RELATED TO THIS VACATED ALLEYWAY HERE. AN AERIAL JUST FOR YOUR REVIEW. THIS IS A CLIP FROM THE HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY PROPERTY APPRAISERS OFFICE. YOU WILL NOTICE THEY DO HAVE THE ORIGINAL PLAT. IT'S RED LINED. THAT ALLEYWAY. AND YOU WILL NOTICE THAT THE CENTER LINE OF THE APPLICANT'S PROPERTY IS WITHIN THAT ALLEYWAY, THE CENTER LINE OF THAT ALLEYWAY. THE APPLICANT ARE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT A SURVEY, EXHIBIT AND DESCRIPTION, AND THE BOLD LINE, BLACK LINE HERE IS SHOWING THE PROPOSED RELEASE OF EASEMENT. AND THAT SUMS IT UP, AND I HAVE AN REVIEW SUMMARY REPORT THERE CRATING ALL THE ENTITIES THAT DO NOT HAVE AN OBJECTION ON THE RELEASE. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU, SIR. WHAT'S YOUR NAME AGAIN? >> >>JOHN DINGFELDER: HE LEFT SOME BIG SHOES. LISTEN, DO WE KNOW WHY THE EASEMENT WAS RESERVED? I KNOW IT'S A LONG TIME AGO. BUT DID ANY OF THE PAPERWORK INDICATE WHY THERE WAS AN EASEMENT RESERVED AT ALL? OR IS THAT A LEGAL QUESTION? >> YES, I THINK THAT WOULD BE A LEGAL QUESTION. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THAT'S ALWAYS A GOOD THING. >> THERE'S NO RECORD INFORMATION TO EXPLAIN WHY THE EASEMENT WAS RESERVED BACK IN 1982. I IMAGINE THAT THE INTENT WAS THAT IF THERE WAS ANY NEED FOR THE UTILITIES TO BE IN THE REAR OF THE LOT THAT THAT WOULD BE AVAILABLE FOR THEM, BUT NOW THAT ALL THE UTILITIES ARE TO THE FRONT OF THE LOT, OR UNDERGROUND, I THINK IN SOME OF THIS AREA, AND I COULDN'T SPEAK TO CERTAINTY WHY THEY DID IT. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I THINK OUR TYPICAL VACATING THESE DAYS DOESN'T NECESSARILY EVEN RESERVE EASEMENTS UNLESS THEY ONE OF THE UTILITIES REQUEST IT, RIGHT? >>RON WIGGINTON: UNLESS THEY ARE CURRENTLY IN USE, YES, SIR. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU, GENTLEMEN. >>ORLANDO GUDES: ANYBODY ELSE TO SPEAK? >> TREY WEINGART AGAIN WITH HILL WARD HENDERSON. GOOD AFTERNOON. AND I WILL BE BRIEF. I WON'T TRY TO TALK LIKE I DID THIS MORNING BUT I WOULD LIKE TO BRIEFLY GIVE A LITTLE MORE EXPLANATION TO THE UNDERSTANDING ABOUT THE LAWSUIT THAT'S BEEN CURRENTLY FILED HEAR. THE CIRCUMSTANCES SURROUNDING THIS EASEMENT, IT'S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT CONSTRUCTION HAS ALREADY BEGUN IN THAT EASEMENT EVEN EVEN THOUGH IT'S NOT BEEN RELEASED BY THE CITY. NOW, WHY THAT'S IMPORTANT IS BECAUSE IT'S OUR BELIEF, MY CLIENT'S BELIEF, THAT THE LOSS LAWSUIT IS ACTUALLY COMBINED. YOU SHOW LOT E AS WELL AS LOT 3 OR 4 AND PART OF 3. THAT'S A NONCONFORM LOT. THAT'S WHAT THE LITIGATION IS CURRENTLY SURROUNDING. THAT'S BEEN FILED. IT'S BEFORE JUDGE CHRIS NASH RATE NOW. AND THE QUESTION REALLY BECOMES WHETHER OR NOT A BUILDING IS APPROPRIATE BOTH ON THAT LOT, AND AT THIS POINT IN THE EASEMENT, AS IT PROCEEDED. WITH THAT IN MIND, AND WITH THIS LAWSUIT CURRENTLY PENDING, AND JUDGE NASH BEING THE ONE WHO IS CURRENTLY CHARGED WITH DETERMINING, I GUESS, A JURISDICTIONAL ISSUE FIRST WHETHER OR NOT IT'S APPROPRIATE TO BUILD ON THIS LOT. I BELIEVE THAT IT'S PREMATURE FOR THE COUNCIL TO VOTE TO RELEASE THIS EASEMENT. I THINK IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE FOR THE COUNCIL TO DEFER UNTIL THE COURT DECIDED THAT WILL ALLOW THEN THE COUNCIL PLENTY OF TIME ONCE THAT DECISION HAS BEEN MADE, MAYBE CONTINUED FOR SIX MONTHS, TO GIVE JUDGE NASH THAT OPPORTUNITY, AND THAT WILL GIVE THE COUNCIL PLENTY OF TIME TO DECIDE THE EASEMENT ISSUE. ONCE AGAIN, THE GROUND HAS BEEN CLEARED ON WHETHER OR NOT THAT LOT HAS BEEN COMBINED THAT INCLUDES THAT EASEMENT THAT YOU JUST SAW IN THE DIAGRAM. WAS THATEES AMOUNT PROPER LOT OR WHETHER THAT SHOULD HAVE NOT BEEN COMBINED IN THE FIRST PLACE? SO WHAT WE WOULD REQUEST AND SUGGEST IS THAT THIS MATTER BE CONTINUED FOR SIX MONTHS SO THAT JUDGE NASH HAS A CHANCE TO RESOLVE THE PENDING LAWSUIT, AND THEN THIS COUNCIL HAS A CHANCE TO TAKE UP THE REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF EASEMENT ONCE IT'S BEEN PROPERLY DECIDED BY THE JUDICIARY. THANK YOU. AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS I AM AVAILABLE TO ANSWER THEM. >>ORLANDO GUDES: I SAW YOUR HAND. YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: LET ME HEAR FROM MR. MICHELINI. I ASSUME HE'S REPRESENTING OTHER SIDE. THEN I DO HAVE A QUESTION. >>STEVE MICHELINI: GOOD AFTERNOON COUNCIL. I'M REPRESENTING THE PROPERTY OWNERS OF BRIAN LANCI AND HIS COMPANY. THEY OWN THE LOT. AND IT'S BASICALLY WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE REQUIREMENTS FOR AN EASEMENT, THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ANOTHER PERSON'S PROPERTY. IT ONLY HAS TO DO FOR THE INDIVIDUAL'S PROPERTY WHO IS PETITIONING. AND LET ME CITE FROM RON WIGGINTON'S RELEASE OF EASEMENT AGREEMENT. IT SAYS, WHEREAS, IF TO THE EXTENT THE REAR SAID LOT EASEMENT RATES WERE LATER CONVEYED TO THE CITY, AND FOR THE UTILITY PURPOSES ARE RESERVED BY ORDINANCE, THE CITY IN A LONGER REQUIRES SAME FOR INSTALLATION, REPAIR OR MAINTENANCE OF ANY UTILITY PAPERS, LAWNS OR OTHER A AITURES PRESENTLY OR IN THE FUTURE AND GOES ON TOP SAY THAT BRANDON LANCI, PETITIONER, AND SAYS THE DIRECTOR HAS DETERMINED THE CITY HAS IN A PRESENT OR FUTURE NEED FOR THE SAID EASEMENTS WITHIN TAMPA RELEASE AREA FOR ANY PUBLIC PURPOSE. THEN IT GOES ON TOP SAY THAT THEY ARE RECOMMENDING THEY HAVE NO TOCKS RELEASE IT. IT THE NEW DIRECTOR OF RIGHT-OF-WAY HAS ALREADY TOLD YOU THE CITY HAS NO OBJECTION. THE UTILITIES HAD NO OBJECTIONS. THIS IS ON PRIVATE PROPERTY. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER THERE'S A LAWSUIT OR NOT. THIS PERTAINS TO AN EASEMENT ON A PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT'S NO LONGER NEEDED. AND IT SHOULD BE RELEASED. THERE IS NO REASON TO CONTINUE THIS HEARING. TTHE ALLEY WAS VACATED. WE HAVE NO IDEA WHY THEY RESERVED THE EASEMENTS. THE SURVEY WAS SUBMITTED. THE DRAWINGS AND PERMITS HAVE ALREADY BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS PROPERTY AND IT WAS ONLY IN THAT PROCESS IT WAS DISCOVERED THE EASEMENTS STILL HAD NOT BEEN RELEASED. SO WE ARE RESPECTFULLY REQUESTING THAT YOU GO AHEADED, RELEASE THE CITY'S INTEREST IN THE EASEMENT, THE UTILITY HAVE ALREADY WEIGHED IN ON THIS, AND BASICALLY THERE'S NO NA REASON TO CONTINUE THIS ISSUE REGARDING THE EASEMENT. IF THE OTHER PARTY HAS PROBLEMS WITH A LEGAL OPINION, OR STAFF OPINION RELATED TO THE BUILDABILITY OF THE LOT THAT'S A SEPARATE AND DISTINCT ISSUE THAT'S NOT RELATED TO THE ISSUE REGARDING EASEMENT. SO WE ARE RESPECTFULLY REQUESTING YOU AS THE PETITIONER TO MOVE FORWARD AND RELEASE THE EASEMENT. THANK YOU. >>ORLANDO GUDES: YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN. JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS. MUCH AS IT PAINS ME TO AGREE WITH MR. MICHELINI, I SEEM TO BE LEANING THAT WAY. JUST KIDDING YOU, STEVE. SO -- [ LAUGHTER ] TWO THINGS. TO THE HILL WARD ATTORNEY. I APOLOGIZE. I MISSED YOUR NAME. HAVE YOU SOUGHT ANY INJUNCTIVE OR OTHER EMERGENCY RELIEF FROM JUDGE NASH AS RELATED TO THE CITY? >> WE HAVE NOT AT THIS TIME. I DON'T BELIEVE THE CITY HAS BEEN SERVED YET SO I AM NOT SURE THAT IT'S PROCEDURALLY RIGHT TO BE SEEKING THAT INJUNCTION, BUT WE HAVE NOT. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I MEAN IN TERMS OF YOUR RELIEF OF THE DOCUMENTS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN FAILED DO NOT INCLUDE INJUNCTIVE RELIEF? >> THAT'S CORRECT. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: SECONDLY, RON, HERE AT CITY HALL, MR. WIGGINTON I DON'T HAVE YOUR MEMO IN FRONT OF ME, BUT DO YOU HAVE A SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL AS RELATED TO THIS FROM THE CITY ATTORNEY? >>RON WIGGINTON: YES, SIR. IT IS OUR OPINION WE SHOULD PROCEED WITH THIS REQUEST WHETHER YOU WANT TO VOTE IT UP OR DOWN IS UP TO YOU, BUT IT'S PROPER TO PROCEED WITH THIS. AGAIN IT'S NOT REALLY RELATED TO THE PENDING LITIGATION AT HAND. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU EVERYBODY. THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN. I'M COMFORTABLE WITH MOVING FORWARD. I THINK IT'S UNFORTUNATE WE SORT OF HAVE A NEIGHBORHOOD DISPUTE THAT THE CITY IS BEING PULLED INTO, AND THE CITY WILL HAVE TO PARTICIPATE, AND THE OTHER LITIGATION, I DO AGREE WITH MR. WIG UNTO, I DON'T SEE WHY THIS EASEMENT ISSUE DIRECTLY RELATED. LIKE I SAID BEFORE, THESE DAYS WHEN WE VACATE ALLEYS, AND THERE IS NO REASON TO RESERVING ANY RIGHTS, WE DON'T RESERVE ANY RIGHTS. SO THIS LOOKS LIKE IT WAS SORT OF JUST AN ANTIQUATED WAY OF DOING THINGS. I WILL MOVE THE RESOLUTION FOR 10. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: SECOND. IT 101. >>JOSEPH CITRO: YES. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: YES. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YES. >>BILL CARLSON: YES. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES. >>ORLANDO GUDES: YES. >>THE CLERK: MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: DID WE DO 98? >>ORLANDO GUDES: 98 WAS DONE EARLIER. 99 WAS DELAYED. >> WE DID NOT DO THE REVIEW HEARING. , ALL RIGHT. 0 102. DURING YOUR AGENDA REVIEW, COUNCILMEMBER DINGFELDER WAS PRESENT, AND EDNA ISSUES WITH 102, 103, 104 AND 105. THOSE ARE RESOLUTIONS. MR. FAIR WAS NOT PRESENTED. THOSE CN BE MOVED BY MOTION. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I WILL MOVE ALL FOUR OF THEM. 102 THROUGH 105. >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. MIRANDA HAS SECONDED. ROLL CALL VOTE. >>JOSEPH CITRO: YES. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: YES. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YES. >>BILL CARLSON: YES. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES. >>LUIS VIERA: NO. >>ORLANDO GUDES: YES. >>THE CLERK: MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. >>MARTIN SHELBY: 106 WAS A MOTION OF COUNCIL TO COME BACK FOR A RESOLUTION THAT HAS BEEN FAILED AND IT IS READY FOR YOUR ACTION. >>ORLANDO GUDES: MOTION BY MR. MANISCALCO, MR. MIRANDA SECONDED IT. ROLL CALL. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES. >>LUIS VIERA: YES. >>JOSEPH CITRO: YES. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: YES. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YES. >>BILL CARLSON: YES. >>ORLANDO GUDES: YES. >>THE CLERK: MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. >>ORLAND GUDES: ALL RIGHT. AND THEN WE HAVE 106 IS DONE, 107 IS DONE. WE GOT A MEMORANDUM. >>LUIS VIERA: IF I MAY, 107, I THINK MS. WYNN AND MS. ZELMAN, THANK YOU FOR YOUR VERY DETAILED REPORT. ONE OF THE REASONS I DID THIS IN PART, AND WE CAN COME BACK TO THIS IF IT NEEDS TO BE, AN APPRENTICESHIP ORDINANCE WE PASSED SOME TIME AGO, IT MAY HAVE BEEN PREEMPTED. I KNOW THERE'S GOING TO BE A LEGAL REPORT WRITTEN ON THAT SOMETIME LATER. IT APPEARS THAT IT'S GOING TO SUBSTANTIALLY SURVIVE. SO I WAS LOOKING TO THIS AS SORT OF A BACKGROUND. BUT WE CAN MAYBE COME TO THAT AT ANOTHER TIME SO WE AREN'T GOING TO BE HEAR TILL 8 A.M. MS. ZELMAN, THANK YOU SO MUCH. >>ORLANDO GUDES: ALL RIGHT. >> RECEIVE AND FILE. >>ORLANDO GUDES: MOTION BY MR. VIERA. SECOND BY MR. MANISCALCO. ALL IN FAVOR? MOTION CARRIES. ALL RIGHT. 108. ORDINANCE LOOKING FOR CONTINUANCE. >> GOOD AFTERNOON. THIS IS ON A MOTION FOR REPORT ON THE COUNTY ORDINANCE REGARDING THE RENTAL HO HOUSING RATE. THAT HAS HAD SORT OF A STAGED ROLL-OUT WITH ENFORCEMENT NOT UNTIL JULY 1st, AND THEREFORE JUST ASKING FOR A LITTLE BIT OF TIME SO I CAN COMMUNICATE WITH THE COUNTY AND OTHER MEMBERS TO RESOLVE SOME ISSUES, GATHER SOME DATA REGARDING THE APPLICATION, INTERPRETATION, ENFORCEMENT OF THAT ORDINANCE, SO I CAN GIVE YOU A MORE COMPREHENSIVE REPORT. ┗A PARTICULAR DATE? >>BRIAN MORRISON: APPROXIMATELY 60 DAYS TO THE NEAREST MEETING TO THAT. , SEPTEMBER 2nd? >> 30th. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: SEPTEMBER 30th? SO MOVED. >> SECOND. >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. DINGFELDER, MR. MIRANDA SECONDED IT. ALL IN FAVOR? ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIED. THANK YOU, SIR. ITEM 109. >>MARTIN SHELBY: MR. CHAIRMAN, MR. ROGERO IS ONLINE. I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG HIS REPORT IS GOING TO BE. YOU MIGHT WANT TO FIND OUT WITH REGARD TO YOUR REVIEW HEARING. >>ORLANDO GUDES: HOW LONG IS YOUR REPORT? >>DENNIS ROGERO: IT WILL BE ABOUT FIVE TO TEN MINUTES. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: OKAY. >>DENNIS ROGERO: I'M SORRY, WERE YOU READY? YES SIR. >>DENNIS ROGERO: CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER. AGAIN THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME HERE TO REPORT ON THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT OR ARPA. CAN I ASK IN THAT MY SCREEN BE SHARED? AND IF YOU COULD LET ME KNOW WHEN IT'S UP. , WE GOT IT. >>DENNIS ROGERO: OUTSTANDING. THANK YOU. AND THERE YOU HAVE IT. COUNCIL, AS YOU SEE ON SCREEN THE CITY IS ANTICIPATED TO RECEIVE APPROXIMATELY $80.4 MILLION OVER THE NEXT TWO YEARS TO ADDRESS OUR NEEDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE PANDEMIC THROUGH AS YOU CAN SEE 2024. AS YOU CAN ALSO SEE, WE RECEIVED OUR FIRST HALF, $40.2 MILLION APPROXIMATELY ON MAY 19th. IF I COULD SHARE WITH YOU SOME FUNDING MAIL STONES, YOU CAN SEE HOW THE FIRST LINE, STILL BEING ACCEPTED BUTT DEPARTMENT. LOCALITIES ARE STILL PEPPERING THEM WHEN QUESTIONS SO THINGS ARE CHANGING AS I STAND HERE AND TALK TO YOU. OUR SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS REMAIN IN DISCUSSION WITH THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT, AND THEY CONTINUE TO REFINE THE GUIDELINES THAT THEY HAVE GIVEN OUT. YOU WILL RECALL THE EMPHASIS WAS HELPING A TROUBLING ECONOMY, LET'S GET THE MONEY OUT THERE AND WE'LL WORRY ABOUT THE DETAILS LATER. AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW. SO WE HAVE THE FUNDING BUT THE GUIDANCE IS CONTINUING TO BE REFINED. ON TOP OF THAT, THE METHODOLOGY IS ALSO COMPLEX. WE ARE CONTINUING A DIALOGUE WITH OTHER CITIES AND OTHER PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATIONS AS WE ALL QUESTION AND ANSWER EACH OTHER TO MAKE CERTAIN WE ARE ON THE SAME PAGE AT LEAST IN KEEPING WITH THE LATEST GUIDELINES AS WE KNOW IT. MOVING DOWN, AS YOU CAN SEE, IN LESS THAN A YEAR, NEXT MAY, WE ANTICIPATE WHAT WE ARE GOING TO RECEIVE THE SECOND 40-PLUS MILLION DOLLAR. BY THE END OF 2024 WE HAVE TO HAVE THAT FUNDING OBLIGATED. WHETHER THROUGH A PURCHASE ORDER, A CONCEPT, WE HAVE TO HAVE THAT OBLIGATED OR WE LOSE IT. FINALLY, ALL THE CASH HAS TO BE OUT THE DOOR BY THE END OF 2026. AND I WILL CONTINUE WITH KIND OF THAT LINE OF THINKING HERE, AS WE GET INTO THE AUTHORIZED USES. IN CONTRAST TO THE CARES ACT, OF COURSE THIS IS A LOT MORE MONEY, BUT IT'S ALSO GIVING US AND OTHERS A LOT MORE FLEXIBILITY IN TERMS OF BOTH HOW WE SPEND THE MONEY AND AS I JUST SHARED WITH YOU HOW LONG WE HAVE TO SPEND THE MONEY. THE PLAN BASICALLY TAKES A TWO PRONGED APPROACH THAT YOU SEE HERE. THE FIRST WHICH WAS SPECIFICALLY SCUDDED -- EXCLUDED FROM THE CARES ACT IS REPLACING REFUSE PNEUMONIA THAT WAS LOST BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC ACROSS THE ENTIRE CITY SPECTRUM, FUND AND FUNCTION. I WILL SPEAK MORE TO THAT IN JUST A MOMENT. THE SECOND IS USING THE FUNDING FOR SPECIFIC EXPENSE CATEGORIES THAT YOU SEE HERE. IN OTHER WORDS, IF YOU ARE A CITY WHO WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH NOT TO LOSE ANY REVENUE DURING THE PANDEMIC, YOU ARE STILL GOING TO GET AN APPOINTMENT AND YOU CAN SPEND IT ON THESE PRETTY BROAD GUIDELINES, SUPPORT OF PUBLIC HEALTH RESPONSE, INVESTMENT IN WATER, SEWER OR BROADBAND INFRASTRUCTURE, PREMIUM PAY FOR ESSENTIAL WORK, AND ASSISTANCE TO HOUSEHOLD, SMALL BUSINESSES, NONPROFITS, AND HELPING OUT THE TOURISM, TRAVEL AND HOSPITAL PIP TATTLE INDUSTRY. IF WE COULD GET PAST THE EXPENSE CATEGORIES AND FOCUS A LITTLE MORE AS I SAID ON THE REVENUE RECOVERY PORTION OF THE PLAN, AND WHAT WE CAN SPEND, THAT WORDING, AND YOU SEE THAT HERE, VERY BROAD CATEGORIES, MUCH MORE FLEXIBILITY THAN THE CARES ACT, INCLUDING CONTEXT, COUNCIL. RECENT ESTIMATES INDICATE THE CITY IS GOING TO LOSE ABOUT $45 MILLION WORTH OF REVENUE FROM FISCAL YEAR 20, LAST YEAR, THROUGH NEXT YEAR, FISCAL YEAR 22, THE YEAR WE ARE PREPPING RIGHT NOW, $40 MILLION. AND YOU SEE HERE AGAIN WHAT WE CAN SPEND IT ON. MAINTENANCE OR PAY-GO FUNDED INFRASTRUCTURE, THAT PAY-GO IS SPECIFICALLY PUT IN THERE BECAUSE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AT THIS TIME DOES NOT WANT US INCREASING OUR DEBT WITH THIS MONEY. SO ANYTHING WE DO IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE CASH. MODERNIZATION OF CYBER SECURITY WHERE WE TELL YOU THAT THAT ISSUE IS IMPORTANT AND CONTINUES TO INCREASE IN IMPORTANCE AND CONCERN. HEALTH SERVICES. SCHOOL OR EDUCATIONAL SERVICES. ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION. AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, POLICE, FAIR AND OTHER PUBLIC SAFETY SERVICES. SO A BROAD RANGE, GOING TO GIVE US A LOT OF FLEXIBILITY. ON THE OTHER HAND, THERE ARE ALSO A COUPLE OF BROAD CATEGORIES WHERE WE SPECIFICALLY CANNOT SPEND THIS FUNDING. I HAVE ALREADY REFERENCED DEBT. AGAIN, FURTHER TO MY COMMENTS, A LITTLE WHILE AGO, THE GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO CHANGE. THE COMMENTS ARE STILL BEING TAKEN. AND THERE ARE MANY LOCALITIES ASKING THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT, HEY, WE WENT INTO DEBT TO GET US THROUGH THE MACHINED. WHY CAN'T WE USE THIS FUNDING TO GET OURSELVES OUT OF DEBT? SO WE'LL SEE WHAT COMES FROM THAT. SETTLEMENTS OH JUDGMENTS. FUNDING IS PROHIBITED. RESERVES. AGAIN THE EMPHASIS IS ON GETTING THE FUNDING ON THE STREET AS OPPOSED TO BE STOCKING IT AWAY IN A SAVINGS ACCOUNT FOR A RAINY DAY. FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT'S PERSPECTIVE, AND THE CITY'S PERSPECTIVE, AND A LOT OF THE CITY'S PERSPECTIVE, THE RAINY DAY IS HERE. THAT'S WHY THIS MONEY IS BEING DISTRIBUTED. BUT YOU ALSO HAVE SIMILAR TO DEBT, OFF NUMBER OF LOCALITIES OUT THEREBY ASKING, HEY, WE USED OUR RESERVES TO GET THROUGH THE MACHINED, WHY CAN'T WE USE THIS TO REPLENISH THOSE RESERVE NBC SO IT'S IN FLUX AND WE'LL SEE WHAT IF ANYTHING COMES TO THAT. PENSION DEPOSITS. PENSION FUNDING WAS AND CONTINUES TO BE A NATIONWIDE DISCUSSION. RIGHT NOW, THIS FUNDING IS PROHIBITED FROM BOLSTERING ANY PENSION PROGRAMS OR RESCUING FULLY FUNDED PROGRAMS. THEN THE LAST ONE THERE, A LITTLE BIT LONGISH, NON-FEDERAL MATCH WHERE PROHIBITED. SO HAVING SAID ALL OF THAT, WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT IN TERMS OF ALLOCATING THIS 80-PLUS MILLION DOLLAR? WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT IN TERMS OF THE FISCAL YEAR 22 RECOMMENDATION THAT THE MEASURE WILL BE PRESENTING TO YOU IN JUST A FEW WEEKS, AS YOU CAN PROBABLY GUESS AND AS YOU SEE ON SCREEN, IT ALL COMES BACK TO THE STRATEGIC GOALS. AND WE TALK ABOUT THEM OFTEN. THESE ARE TAKEN RIGHT OUT OF THE ADOPTED BUDGET FOR THE CURRENT YEAR, STRENGTHENING COMMUNITY CENTRIC SERVICES WHICH OF COURSE INCLUDES PUBLIC SAFETY. ENHANCING WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT. INCREASING HOUSING AFFORDABILITY. IMPROVING INFRASTRUCTURE AND MOBILITY. ESTABLISHING SUSTAINABILITY AND RESILIENCE. AND OF COURSE KEEPING OUR EYES OPEN FOR POTENTIAL FINANCIAL OPPORTUNITIES AND BEING MINDFUL OF OUR FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITIES. OUR GOAL IS AND WILL BE TO TIE THE FUNDING TO THESE GOALS. AND WITHIN THIS UNIVERSE, WE ARE REVIEWING THE MAYOR'S OPERATORS. WE ARE REVIEWING THE PRIORITIES YOU HAVE GIVEN TO US. AGAIN THANK YOU FOR THAT CONTINUING FEEDBACK. WE ARE ANALYZING OUR REVENUE LOSSES, AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO DO THAT FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS, I IMAGINE. AND MAKING AN ESTIMATE OF FUTURE ECONOMIC RISK. AGAIN, THIS FUNDING IS A LOT OF FUNDING BUT IT IS AN US THE INTERESTED AND MEETS OUR NEEDS FROM THE PANDEMIC THROUGH 2024. SO IT'S A LONG WAYS OUT. THANK YOU AGAIN FOR GIVING US THE OPPORTUNITY. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS, AS ALWAYS. IF I DON'T HAVE THE ANSWERS, WE HAVE GOT A WONDERFUL FINANCE TEAM THAT I AM ABSOLUTELY SURE THAT WE'LL GET THEM TO YOU. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MR. CHAIRMAN? THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I SAW ON ONE OF THE SLIDES PUBLIC SAFETY IS WHAT WE ARE ALLOWED TO INVEST IN POLICE, FAIR AND WHATNOT. IS THAT CORRECT? >>DENNIS ROGERO: YES, SIR. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: COUNCILMAN VIERA HAS BEEN A CHAMPION FOR THE FAIR DEPARTMENT, AND MOSTLY FIRE STATION 13, I BELIEVE, AND NOT JUST THAT BUT THROUGHOUT THE CITY OF TAMPA. YOU KNOW, WE SEE THE NUMBERS OF CALLS THEY ARE GETTING. THEY ARE OVERLOADED. RESPONSE TAMES ON MANY 911 EMERGENCIES IS ALWAYS VERY CRITICAL. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU LOOKED AT THE COST OF A NEW FIRE STATION OR EASING SOME OF THE BURDEN, BECAUSE IT'S ONE OF THE BUSIEST IN THE COUNTRY. SO I KNOW NOT TRYING TO STEEL ANYBODY'S THUNDER BUT I WOULD CERTAINLY SUPPORT, SHOULD COUNCILMEMBER VIERA PUSH FOR THAT, THE NEED FOR A NEW FIRE STATION OR WHAT WE CAN GO FROM THERE. WHAT IS THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT WE ARE GETTING FROM THE FEDERAL LEVEL, 60, 70, $80 MILLION? >>DENNIS ROGERO: 80 MILLION, SIR. YES, WE ARE ACTIVELY LOOKING AT RELEAVING THE BURDEN OF THE FAIR DEPARTMENT, STATIONS, ET CETERA. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: I MEAN, NOT MAKING A MOTION. WE ARE JUST DISCUSSING HEAR. BUT I WOULD CERTAINLY BE EXTREMELY SUPPORTIVE OF THAT. I THINK THAT'S ONE OF OUR MOST CRITICAL ISSUES. ESPECIALLY IT'S A LIFE AND DEATH SITUATION. AND COUNCILMAN VIERA HAS BEEN A CHAMPION ON THIS FOR A LONG TIME, VERY VOCAL, VERY SUPPORTIVE. I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THE ADMINISTRATION REALLY NEEDS TO LOOK AT. THANK YOU. >>LUIS VIERA: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. CHAIRMAN. THANK YOU FOR THAT SUPPORT, COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO. I APPRECIATE IT, SIR. YES, THAT'S SOMETHING I HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT FOR A WHILE EVER SINCE WE SAW THAT WE WERE GOING TO GET THIS MONEY. WE HAVE TO GIVE THANKS TO OUR MARINES WASHINGTON, D.C. INCLUDING CONGRESSWOMAN KATHY CASTOR FOR BEING SUCH A FER WANT ADVOCATE FOR THE CITY OF TAMPA AND THE COMMUNITY OVER HERE. THIS MONEY IS BE A REAL OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO BE ABLE TO INVEST IN PUBLIC SAFETY. I WOULDN'T JUST PUT IN FIRE STATION 13. WE HAVE TALKED A GREAT DEAL ABOUT THE DIFFERENT DEFICITS THAT WE HAVE WITH REGARDS TO FIRE SAFETY. STATION 13 IS ONE OUT OF 23 STATIONS IN THE CITY OF TAMPA THAT THE REGION PICKS UP ABOUT ONE OUT OF EVERY SEVEN CALLS, GET OVER 10,000 CALLS A YEAR, ABOUT 30 CALLS A DAY ON AVERAGE. THE NEXT HIGHEST STATION I THINK IS STATION 11 THAT GETS ABOUT 25% LESS. IT'S OUT OF CONTROL. I RECENTLY DID A DAY WHERE I SPENT ABOUT 14 HOURS THERE WITH STATION 13, AND IT WAS JUST OUT OF CONTROL. IT WAS A LOT OF FUN BUT IT WAS OUT OF CONTROL. UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANES REALLY EYE OPENING, IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING. BUT STATION 13 NEEDS HELP RATE NOW. AND I KNOW YOU GUYS KNOW THIS. AND UP ALL HAVE JUST BEEN AN AMAZING ADVOCATE AND PARTNER ON THIS ISSUE. WHEN COUNCILMAN GUDES BANGED THE DRUM REALLY HARD FOR EAST TAMPA, YOU ALL WERE IMMEDIATELY THERE TO PROACTIVELY HELP. THEN I STARTED TALKING ABOUT 13 WITH ADDITIONAL EMERGENCY VEHICLES, YOU ALL DID THE VERY SAME THING SO I AM NOT LECTURING YOU OWL ON SOMETHING THAT'S IN DISPUTE AT ALL. BUT STATION 13 OBVIOUSLY NEEDS HELP. WE HAVE ALSO TALKED ABOUT CHANNELSIDE, SOMETHING THAT COUNCILMAN GUDES HAS ALSO BEEN CHAMPION A GREAT DEAL. NEW TAMPA. CHIEF BENNETT AND I AM WERE TALKING ABOUT THAT, FOUR OUT OF THE SIX STATIONS IN THE CITY OF TAMPA WITH THE LONGEST RESPONSE TIMES 33647. OBVOUSLY SOUTH TAMPA, WE ALWAYS HEAR A LOT ABOUT EXPLODING GROWTH IN SOUTH TAMPA, SOUTH OF GANDY. I'M SURE THERE ARE A LOT OF CHALLENGES THERE. EAST TAMPA CONTINUES TO HAVE CHALLENGES THERE. AND OF COURSE WEST TAMPA THAT COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO CHAMPIONED SO WELL WITH EXPANSIONS AND WORKFORCE HOUSING. IT WE CONTINUE TO SEE CHALLENGES. TAMPA POLICE DEPARTMENT, SOMETHING I TALKED ABOUT BRIEFLY, WAS THE DIFFERENT CHANGES THAT WE ARE SEEING IN THE TAMPA POLICE DEPARTMENT, WHICH ARE SO VERY COSTLY. ONE OF THE REASONS FROM DAY ONE I HAVE ALWAYS SAID NO TO DEFUNDING THE POLICE BECAUSE IF YOU ARE GOING IMPROVE TAMPA POLICE DEPARTMENT IT'S GOING TO COST MORE MONEY. THINGS LIKE COMMUNITY POLICING. THINGS LIKE COMPLICIT BIAS TRAINING. THINGS LIKE BODY CAM. THINGS LIKE MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELOR COMING ALONG WITH TAMPA POLICE DEPARTMENT. THOSE THINGS COST MORE MONEY. THIS IS A PRIME OPPORTUNITY TO PUT TAMPA POLICE DEPARTMENT WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE WITH THE 21st CENTURY POLICE FORCE IN TERMS OF KNOWING SOME OF THE COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE HAVE GOT TO HAVE HEAR, AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I WANT TO SEE AS A PRIORITIES, BUT THAT IN NO WAY TAKES OUT OUR OTHER BASIC NEEDS WHEN IT COMES TO THINGS LIKE SUMMER JOBS, AFFORDABLE WORKFORCE HOUSING, SOMETHING THAT OUR CHAIRMAN HAS BEEN -- I SAY THIS POSITIVELY -- A WRECKING BALL ON DOING JUST A GREAT JOB. WE CAN REALLY HAVE AN ALL OF THE ABOVE APPROACH HERE. BUT I WOULD SUGGEST -- AND THIS COUNCIL HAS ALREADY SAID THAT, WITH AN EMPHASIS ON PUBLIC SAFETY AND WHATNOT: I WILL BE MAKING A MOTION ON THAT. WE HAVE ALREADY DEALT WITH THAT ISSUE. BUT JUST TO CONTINUE TO STRESS THAT. THIS CAN BE THE TIME IN WHICH WE TAKE CARE OF OUR FIRE NEEDS AND HELP TO PUT THAT COMMUNITY EMPHASIS THAT WE WANT ON POLICING FOR CHANGES SO MANY FOLKS SUPPORT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. CARLSON, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. >>BILL CARLSON: THANK YOU, MR. ROGERO. I APPRECIATE THE LIST THAT YOU HAVE I APPRECIATE THAT IT'S FOCUSED. MY NUMBER ONE GOAL IS WE DON'T SPEND IT ON FRIVOLOUS THINGS LIKE $12 MILLION BOAT HOUSES SO IF WE CAN AVOID THAT. WE HAVE SO MANY NEEDS IN THE CITY THAT WE CAN'T AFFORD TO SPEND MONEY ONINGS THAT WE DON'T NEED. TO FOLLOW UP ON WHAT MY COLLEAGUES SAID ABOUT FAIR, AND PARAMEDIC, THERE'S NOT ENOUGH RESOURCES IN SOUTH TAMPA EITHER AT THE STATIONS WE HAVE. THEY NEED SMALLER VEHICLES, NOT JUST THE BUG FAIR ENGINES TO GO TO RESPOND TO A HELP ISSUE. AND WE NEED MORE FACILITIES THERE TOO. AT LEAST ONE OF THE -- THERE ARE TWO IN SOUTH TAMPA THAT ALSO ARE MARCH I TIME FAIR RESCUE PEOPLE, AND WHEN THEY ARE CALLED AWAY, THAT MEANS THAT THE OTHER STATIONS HAVE TO GO FROM A FAR DISTANCE TO RESCUE PEOPLE. AND AS YOU KNOW MINUTES COUNT. AND WE NEED TO TRY TO RESOLVE THAT ISSUE SO THAT WE CAN SAVE LIVES SO I APPRECIATE YOU LOOKING AT THAT. ALSO, YOU MENTIONED THAT IN THE INTANGIBLES THAT MONEY COULD BE USED TO REPLACE THE RESERVE. EVERY YEAR I TALK ABOUT THE RESERVE BALANCE. IN YOUR LAST -- IS IT POSSIBLE TO GO BACK TO THE LAST SLIDE? IN YOUR LAST SLIDE WAS ONE OF YOUR OPERATORS, I THINK IT SAID FINANCIAL OPPORTUNITIES. WOULD YOU INCLUDE THERE AS A FINANCIAL OPPORTUNITY TO REPLACE THE RESERVE? >>DENNIS ROGERO: I WOULD, SIR, THANK YOU. AND I WILL GO TOPPING THAT LAST SLIDE NOW. I HOPE YOU CAN SEE IT. UNFORTUNATELY, AND AGAIN I APPRECIATE YOU AS BEING CHAMPIONS OF OUR FUND BALANCE, BUT UNFORTUNATELY AT THIS TIME THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS PROHIBITING US FROM OUR RESERVES. AGAIN THEY ARE GETTING PUSHBACK FROM OTHER LOCALITIES SO IT MAY CHANGE. IT REALLY IS IN BULKS RIGHT NOW AS OF THIS MOMENT IT'S INAPPLICABLE. >>BILL CARLSON: IF IT CHANGES I THINK THAT'S CRITICALLY IMPORTANT BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHAT'S A AROUND THE CORNER. THE ECONOMY IS IN FLUX. A YEAR AGO, TWO YEARS AGO WE WERE SITTING HEAR THINKING IF WE COULD PUT A LITTLE BIT IN THE RESERVE FUND TO REPLACE WHAT THE LAST ADMINISTRATION RAIDED, WE COULD MAYBE PREVENT FROM HAVING PROBLEMS, AND WE DID THAT, AND WE WERE ABLE TO PROTECT OURSELVES. BUT WE DON'T KNOW WHEN SOMETHING ELSE IS COMING. SO I APPRECIATE YOU ALL LOOKING AT THINGS. >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. CITRO. >>JOSEPH CITRO: ANYMORE AGREEMENT WITH ALL MY COLLEAGUES HEAR, BUT THERE'S ONE THING I ALSO WANT TO ADD. DENNIS, CAN WE ALSO SPEND SOME OF THE WONDERFUL MONEY ON DESPERATELY NEEDED SIDEWALKS, ESPECIALLY AROUND SCHOOLS? >>DENNIS ROGERO: YES, SIR. RIGHT NOW AGAIN, IN KEEPING WITH THOSE STRATEGIC GOALS, A SIGNIFICANT PORTION TO INFRASTRUCTURE MOBILITY. >>JOSEPH CITRO: BECAUSE OF HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY SCHOOLS NO LONGER HAVING CHILDREN BEING BUSSED IN IF YOU LIVE WITHIN TWO MAILS OF SCHOOL, IF YOU DRAW A TWO MILE RADIUS AROUND MOST OF OUR SCHOOLS HEAR IN THE CITY OF TAMPA THEY WILL OVERLAP ONE ANOTHER. THESE SIDEWALKS ARE DESPERATELY NEEDED. I DON'T WANT TO SEE SCHOOLCHILDREN WALKING IN THE STREETS TO SCHOOL. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. CHAIR. >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. DINGFELDER. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU, DENNIS. SO EVERYBODY HAS SORT OF GOT THEIR LAUNDRY LIST AND THEIR DRUTHERS AND THAT SORTED OF THING. BUT I AM MORE CURIOUS ABOUT PROCESS AT THIS POINT. WHAT WILL THE PROCESS BE? WILL THESE THINGS JUST BE LUMPED INTO OUR ANNUAL BUDGET? AND THEN PAID FOR ACCORDINGLY BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT? OR WILL THIS BE A SEPARATE PRESENTATION FROM THE ADMINISTRATION TO COUNCIL WITH SOME COLLABORATION THEREWITH? OR HAVE YOU GUYS COME UP WITH A STRATEGY ON THAT? >>DENNIS ROGERO: YES, SIR. THANK YOU. THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. RIGHT NOW, WE ENVISION -- AND THE TIMING IS PRETTY FORTUITOUS -- THAT PART OF THE FISCAL YEAR 22 RECOMMENDED BUDGET THAT THE MAYOR WILL PRESENT TO YOU. AGAIN, NOT ONLY WILL WE CONCENTRATE ON THE STRATEGIC FUNDING, NONRECURRING FUNDING. SO WE WILL LOOK TO PRIORITIZE THOSE THINGS THAT DON'T HAVE RECURRING EXPENSES ASSOCIATED WITH THEM ALSO. BIG TICKET ITEMS, BIG SPENDING. OF DOORS COURSE, WHAT WE DON'T WANT TO DO IS START FUNDING THINGS THAT 80 MILLION-DOLLAR NOW BUT OVER THE COURSE OF HALF A DECADE WILL BE 200 MILLION, FOR EXAMPLE. BASED ON OUR DISCUSSIONS AND THE DISCUSSIONS THAT WILL CONTINUE WITH YOU AND OTHER MEMBERS OF COUNCIL, WE'LL INCORPORATE THE ALLOCATIONS INTO THE FISCAL YEAR 22 RECOMMENDED BUDGET, AND THEN UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES FOR COUNCIL TO REVIEW AND TAKE ACTION ON. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I SEE MR. BENNETT THERE AS WELL. I WOULD URGE, BECAUSE THIS IS GOING TO KEEP COMING UP, AND SOMETIMES THE TWO-VOLUME BUDGET BACK IS DIFFICULT TO SORT THROUGH, LET'S SAY, AND FIND THINGS AT A GLASS, SO IF YOU GUYS -- OBVIOUSLY YOU WILL COME UP WITH $80 MILLION OF RECOMMENDATION IF YOU COULD PULL IT OUT. IN ADDITION TO INCLUDING IT IN THE BUDGET PROCESS, PULL IT OUT AS A SEPARATE PAGE, SO WE CAN SEA IT SEPARATELY, OTHERWISE, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO DEVIL INTO IT AND WHO -- DELVE INTO IT. SO I AM SURE THAT WOULD BE APPRECIATED BY ALL SEVEN MEMBERS HERE AS WELL AS THE COMMUNITY, OF COURSE. I JUST WANTED TO ELABORATE A LITTLE BIT ON WHAT COUNCILMAN MANISCALCO AND VIERA WERE SAY BEING FAIR. I DON'T THINK I HEARD SPECIFICALLY, BUT WE HAVE SEEN OVER THE LAST YEAR REPORTS ABOUT FIRE TRUCKS AND FIRE EQUIPMENT THAT WE ARE VERY FAR BEHIND ON REPLACING. AND KEEPING UP WITH THE REPLACEMENT OF FIRE TRUCKS AND EQUIPMENT. AND I THINK THAT TO THE EXTENT THAT SOME OF THESE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS ARE AVAILABLE, WE SHOULD MAKE SURE THAT THAT'S INCLUDED ON THE LIST. AND THEN AS OUR CHAIRMAN HAS REMINDED US OVER AND OVER, WE CAN'T FORGET AFFORDABLE HOUSING. AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS PERENNIALLY AN UNFUNDED NEED OR UNDERFUNDED NEED, AND THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS THAT, EXTREMELY IMPORTANT NEED, AND SOME PEOPLE WOULD SAY THAT IS LIKE -- WE DON'T WANT PEOPLE OUT ON THE STREETS FOR OBVIOUS REASONS. ANYWAY, THOSE ARE MY THOUGHTS ON THIS. I APPRECIATE IT. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I AGREE WITH THE PROCESS, AND I HAVE SAID IT BEFORE, THAT ONE MORE BITE AT THE C.I.T., AND THEN AFTER THAT MAYBE SOMETHING ELSE COMING DOWN THE LINE THAT COULD BE USED FOR THE EQUIPMENT, SPECIFICALLY IN FAIR, AND GOING TO NEED REPLACEMENT, I'M SURE. AND YOU WANT TO THANK MR. CITRO FOR JOINING THE ELECTRIC CAR SOCIETY. SO HERE WE ARE. AND I THINK DENNIS WILL PRESENT THE PROCESS, INCLUDED AS A SEPARATE ITEM THAT WAS INDICATED EARLIER BY COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER, OR SENT THE ITEM DIRECTLY TO US ON THE $80 MILLION THAT'S NECESSARY FOR THE CITY WHERE THE EXPENDITURES ARE GOING TO BE. >>ORLANDO GUDES: WELL, LET ME SAY THIS. AND THE CHIEF IS THERE. MR. VIERA, I DID HAVE A MEETING WITH THE CHIEF OF STAFF, AND CHIEF TRIPP IN REFERENCE TO FEWER RESCUE. WE HAD AN EXTENSIVE CONVERSATION IN REFERENCE TO THAT. AND HOW THEY BELIEVE THAT THEY CAN BE ABLE TO DO SOME THINGS TO BRING THOSE ADDED -- MAYBE NOT BUG TRUCKS BUT ALL THE BELLS AND WHISTLES, BUT ADEQUATE TRUCKS THAT WE CAN USE THAT'S NOT COSTING AS MUCH IF WE BAY IT AND PURCHASE IT. WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE DATA, I'M A VISUAL GUY. I LOOK AT THE NEED. SOMETIMES DATA DOESN'T MATCH THE NEEDS, THE NUMBERS. BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT, THE CITY OF TAMPA, WE HAVE MORE MEDICAL CALLS THAN WE DO FIRE CALLS. WE NEED STATIONS IN CERTAIN LOCATIONS. SO FIRE IS A CONCERN OF MINE. AND I MADE THAT CLEAR TO CHIEF OF STAFF MAKING SURE THAT THAT'S IN THE BUDGET SOMEHOW SOME WHERE. BUT AS MR. DINGFELDER SAID, FIRE IS A BIG ITEM. BUT YOUR BIG TICKET ITEM RATE NOW IS HOUSING. WE DON'T HAVE A FUND THAT IS NONSUBSIDIZED. $80 MILLION. $80 MILLION, SOME OF THAT MONEY NEEDS TO BE USED WITH REHAB IN SOME OF THE MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES, TO WHERE THERE ARE SMALL GRANTS OR WHATEVER SO PEOPLE CAN GET THEIR ROOFS DONE, PAINT, FENCING, AND HAVING A PLACE TO LIVE. SO I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR THAT -- AND I KNOW MR. VIERA TALKED ABOUT POLICE, AND HE'S RIGHT ABOUT SOME NEEDS. BUT THIS BUDGET HERE, NOT TAKING AWAY AT THE POLICE, BUT THIS BUDGET HERE TRULY NEEDS TO BE FOCUSED ON HOUSING AND FIRE DEPARTMENT. AND AGAIN, THOSE ARE YOUR TWO PERENNIAL THINGS FOR $80 MILLION. YOU CAN DO A LOT. AND SOME OF THAT WON'T BE REOCCURRING. YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT BECAUSE IF YOU ARE PUTTING THE MONEY OUT, I'M JUST SAYING, I HAD A CONVERSATION WITH THE CHIEF OF STAFF COMING UP SOON IN REFERENCE TO THE CRA EAST TAMPA ABOUT SPENDING THEIR MONEY AS WELL, GETTING THAT MONEY OUT THERE, WE DON'T NEED TO SIT ON MONEY. WE NEED TO SPEND IT. SO THOSE ARE MY TWO TO TOPICS RIGHT NOW, IS THAT HOUSING, AND THE FAIR DEPARTMENT. BUT FOR ME, HOUSING HAS TO BE NUMBER ONE BECAUSE AGAIN PEOPLE FEEL SAFE IN THAT YOU ARE HOME HAVE, A PLACE TO LIVE, AND MORE SUCCESSFUL WHEN THEY ARE HOME. AND I SAW SOME IDEAS THAT I TALKED ABOUT WHEN I FIRST WENT TO THE MAYOR'S OFFICE, AND MR. MANISCALCO, WE WOULDN'T OUT THERE AND SAW THEM SO GET PEOPLE TO WALK THE STREETS. SO WE HAVE TO DO SOME MORE INNOVATIVE THINGS, NOT DO WE WHAT WE USED TO DO BUT SOME OUT-OF-BOX THINKING. I GOT NONPROFITS ALREADY CALLED ME ABOUT THIS MONEY ALREADY ABOUT GUN VIOLENCE, AND COMMUNITY RELATIONS AND ALL KIND OF STUFF. SO PEOPLE KNOW WE HAVE THIS MONEY. WE JUST HAVE TO MAKE SURE WE DO THE RIGHT THINGS WITH IT. YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. >>LUIS VIERA: AND I THINK WE HAVE A CONSENSUS HEAR ON CITY COUNCIL WHICH IS TO TAKE CARE OF SOME OF THESE PUBLIC SOFT NEEDS AND TAKE CARE OF A LOT OF OUR HUMAN SOCIAL WELFARE NEEDS ON THINGS LIKE AFFORDABLE HOUSING, THINGS LIKE SUMMER JOBS, THINGS LIKE CITY SERVICE PROGRAMS. I TALKED ABOUT HAVING A CITY-WIDE YOUTH PROGRAM IN AREAS LAKE EAST TAMPA, SULPHUR SPRINGS, UNIVERSITY AREA, WEST TAMPA, ET CETERA, ET CETERA, ET CETERA. WE CAN DO A LOT OF THINGS, BUT THIS MONEY WAS PUT INTO PLACE TO HELP LOCAL COMMUNITIES AFFECTED BY COAST AND AFTER EFFECTS. DOAK THAT WHILE TAKING CARE OF SOME OF OUR LONG-TERM UNADDRESSED NEEDS IN OUR CITY WESTBOUND MANY PEOPLE WHO LACKED A VOICE FOR FAR TOO LONG. I THINK WE DO HAVE A CONSENSUS IN THIS COUNCIL. >>ORLANDO GUDES: CHIEF, DID YOU WANT TO SAY ANYTHING? >>JOHN BENNETT: THANK YOU, CHAIRMAN. OBVIOUSLY, I JUST WANT TO BE HERE TO SUPPORT MR. ROGERO'S PRESENTATION AND I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FIRST HAND COUNCIL'S FEEDBACK. I APPRECIATE THE CONTINUED INTEREST IN EQUITABLE AND EFFICIENT AND EFFECTIVE DELIVERY OF SAFETY SERVICES. AS CHAIRMAN GUDES MENTIOED, AND I KNOW COUNCILMAN VIERA'S PASSION AS WELL AS EVERYBODY'S, ABOUT MAKING SURE OUR FIRE AND MEDICAL EMS SERVICES ARE GIVEN CITY-WIDE AT THE SAME LEVEL OF SERVICE. AND I JUST WANT TOPPED SAY, BECAUSE CHIEF TRIPP IS ON MISSION, THAT HER AND I HAVE BEEN TALKING. WE HAVE BEEN MEETING WEAKLY, AND WE HAVE DIFFERENT, I GUESS, COMPARTMENTS, IF YOU WILL, OF THE FAIR BUDGET THAT WE ARE FOCUSED ON, LEVEL OF SERVICE, MAKING SURE IT'S EQUITABLE, MAKING SURE THAT THE PERSONNEL -- PERSONNEL, SAFETY AND HEALTH AND WELFARE ARE PARAMOUNT. SO WORKLOAD ANALYSIS IS GOING ON. RESPONSE TIME ANALYSIS WAS GOING ON. DEFERRED VEHICLES AND MAINTENANCE IN S GOING ON. DEFERRED FACILITY MAINTENANCE. AND I'M SO PROUD OF CHIEF TRIPP GOING STATION BY STATION DOING PUNCH LIST WORK WITH MS. COLINA. ALL THESE THINGS CHANGED THE FEELING AND THE LEVEL OF SERVICE IN THE MIND AND HEARTS OF THOSE FAIR EMPLOYEES. THE NEW STATION ANALYSIS BASED ON OUR GROWTH, AND LAND ACQUISITION OPPORTUNITIES. AND THEN ON TOP OF THAT, MR. ROGERO AND I AND HIS OFFICES ARE LOOKING AT THE BILLING SIDE OF THESE EQUATIONS AND HOW REVENUE DOES IMPACT THE FAIR BUDGET. SO WE ARE DOING A REAL WIDE VIEW OF ALL THESE THINGS AND WE ARE REALLY GOING TO BE EXCITED TO BRING THAT PLAN AND THOSE DIFFERENT FUNDING EXTREMES IN THE BUDGET THAT THE MAYOR WILL FRONT YOU SHORTLY. THANK YOU. >>ORLANDO GUDES: ALL RIGHT. ANYTHING ELSE MR. ROGERO? >>DENNIS ROGERO: ROGERO NO, MR. CHAIR. THANK YOU. >>ORLANDO GUDES: THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. ITEM 110. WE HAVE A CONTINUOUSLY ASKED BY ABBYE FEELEY, TEXT AMENDMENT. >>ABBYE FEELEY: COUNCIL? ABBYE FEELEY, LAND DEVELOPMENT. I JUST WANTED -- YOU HEARD FROM CARROLL ANN BENNETT AND STEPHANIE POYNOR THIS MORNING ABOUT BEING OUT OF TOWN AT THAT DATE AND I WANTED TO SEE IF IT WAS POSSIBLE IF WE COULD CONTINUE THAT TO SEPTEMBER IN LIEU OF AUGUST IN ORDER TO ALLOW LACHONE AND I TO SET UP SOME MEETINGS WITH THEM AND GO OVER THAT LANGUAGE AND HAVE THAT WORKED OUT WITH YOU IN SEPTEMBER. >>ORLANDO GUDES: WHAT DO WE HAVE LEFT IN SEPTEMBER? >>LUIS VIERA: SEPTEMBER 10th AND SEPTEMBER 30th. >>ORLANDO GUDES: IS SEPTEMBER 30th GOOD? >>ABBYE FEELEY: SURE. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I MOVE SEPTEMBER 30th. I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY, MS. FEELEY, AND TALKING ABOUT THIS WITH MR. SHELBY, TYPICALLY WE HAVE GOT THE CYCLES. IN REGARD TO AMENDMENT TO CHAPTER 27. BUT IN THIS CASE, I THINK MR. SHELBY AND I NOTED THAT THIS IS A PROCEDURAL AMENDMENT, CHAPTER 27, WHERE THE CYCLE DOESN'T NECESSARILY APPLY. SO I AM WILLING TO GO AHEAD AND PUT THIS OFF AND IT MIGHT BE OFFST. LUKE, BUT AT LEAST OUR HUMBLE OPINIONS ARE THAT WE CAN COME IN ON SLACK SUNS THEY ARE PROCEDURAL AMENDMENT, NOT SUB STAND TOUGH AMENDMENT. THAN. >>ABBYE FEELEY: OKAY. THANK YOU FOR THAT. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: SEPTEMBER 30th. >>ORLANDO GUDES: MOTION BY MR. DINGFELDER. SECOND BY MR. MIRANDA. ALL IN FAVOR? ANY OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIED. MR. SHELBY AND GENTLEMEN, I WOULD LIKE TO GET NUMBER 99 OUT OF THE WAY. WE CAN DO HOUSECLEANING. SO I WOULD LIKE TO GET HER OUT OF THE WAY IF YOU DON'T MIND. I APOLOGIZE. WE JUST HAD A FULL HOUSE TODAY. >> GOOD EVENING, MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL CHAIR. CAMARIA PETTIS-MACKLE, ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY. NUMBER 99 IS BEFORE YOU PETITION FAILED BY JOHN LUM, THE APPLICANT. THE SPECIAL USE 1 GENERAL REQUEST FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 3014 WEST HORATIO STREET, SEEKING REVIEW OF THE ZONING ADMINISTRATIVE DECISION DENYING THE DWELLING SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED USE WHICH REQUESTED RELIEF FROM SECTION 27-132. EARLIER, I PROVIDED COUNCIL WITH THE COPY OF THE HEARING PROCEDURES FOR TODAY'S REVIEW AS WELL AS MOTIONS AND THE RELEVANT CODE SECTIONS REGARDING THIS PETITION FOR REVIEW. FOR PURPOSES OF TODAY'S HEARING, CITY COUNCIL HAS A DE NOVO REVIEW MEANING YOU ARE NOT LIMITED TO THE RECORD CREATED BY THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR. INSTEAD YOU WOULD TAKE PUBLIC TESTIMONY, ACCEPT NEW EVIDENCE AND MAKE A DECISION BASED UPON THE APPLICATION MEETING THE CRITERIA SET FORTH IN CODE SECTION 27-1392. MR. ERIC COTTON WILL PROVIDE AN OVERVIEW OF THE RELIEF REQUESTED, AND THE APPLICATION AND THE BASIS FOR THE CITY'S DECISION. AFTER CONSIDERING ALL THE EVIDENCE, I WILL INTRODUCE THE RECORD OF TODAY'S HEARING, CITY COUNCIL MAY UPHOLD THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR'S DECISION AND DENY THE SPECIAL USE APPLICATION, OR COUNCIL MAY OVERTURN THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR'S DECISION, AND THEREBY APPROVE THE APPLICATION FOR SPECIAL USE. I WILL NOW TURN IT OVER TO MR. COTTON WHO WILL PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION REGARDING THIS PETITION FOR REVIEW. AND I AM AVAILABLE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. COTTON, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. >>ERIC COTTON: I NEED TO BE SWORN. (OATH ADMINISTERED BY CLERK). >>ERIC COTTON: YES, MA'AM. MAY YOU SHARE MY SCREEN FOR THE PRESENTATION? DID YOU ALL SEE THE PRESENTATION? THANK YOU. THIS IS A SPECIAL USE SU-1-21-38. THE APPLICANT WAS JOHN LUM FOR PROPERTY AT 3014 WEST HORATIO STREET. HE APPLICATION, THE PROS ZONED COMMERCIAL GENERAL. THE APPLICANT WAS ASKING FOR DWELLING SINGLE-FAMILY ATTACHED. BASICALLY TOWN HOME DEVELOPMENT. THERE ARE TWO STANDARDS THAT YOU HAVE TO MEET UNDER THIS SPECIAL USE CRITERIA, A COLLECTOR ROAD AND MEETING THE RM-24 STANDARD FOR THE ACTUAL DEVELOPMENT ITSELF. THE REQUEST WAS DENIED BECAUSE IT'S A LOCAL STREET, THEIR ONLY ACCESS, THE QUARTERBACK T SETBACKS ARE 28 -- REQUIRED ARE 28 FEET IN THE FRONT, 10 ON THE SIDES, 23 IN THE REAR. THE APPLICANT HAS 17 IN THE FRONT, 17 ON THE SIDES, 38 IN THE REAR. AS A RESULT FOR THOSE TWO ISSUES, I DENIED THE REQUEST. THIS IS THE PROPERTY IN QUESTION. THIS IS SELF-STORAGE. THIS IS AN EXISTING ALF. AND OVER HERE IS THE TOWERS. THIS IS ABOUT A THREE STORY BUILDING. I HAVE SOME PICTURES. AND THEN THE TOWERS IS ABOUT 8 OR 9 STORIES TALL. THIS IS THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN YOU CAN SEE THE SETBACKS ARE BASICALLY MEETING COMMERCIAL GENERAL SETBACKS, NOT THE RM-24 STANDARD. A PICTURE OF THE EXISTING SITE. THIS IS THE PROPERTY ON THE OTHER SIDE. THIS IS ACROSS THE STREET. IF COUNCIL WERE TO APPROVE THIS REQUEST THE APPLICANT STILL NEEDS TO GET A WAIVER TO SECTION 27-282.9 WHICH ARE IS THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARD FOR THE PROPERTY FOR TOWN HOME DEVELOPMENT, SPECIFIC STANDARD THEY HAVE TO MEET. THAT'S THE END OF MY PRESENTATION. DOES COUNCIL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? >>ORLANDO GUDES: ANY QUESTIONS? >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THE SLIDE YOU HAVE UP -- NO, NO. WHAT'S THE PROCESS FOR GETTING THAT WAIVER? IS THAT INCLUDED IN OUR MOTION TODAY IF WE WERE TO APPROVE IT? >>ERIC COTTON: IT'S A DIFFERENT PROCESS THAN AN ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESS. IT'S NOT A SPECIAL USE CRITERIA IF COUNCIL IS INCLINED TO APPROVE THE SPECIAL USE TODAY, AND GRANT THE TWO WAIVERS, WE WILL APPROVE THE REQUEST THAT'S BEFORE, THAT COMES AS A DESIGN EXCEPTION, IT'S A WHOLE SEPARATE PROCESS. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN. >>ORLANDO GUDES: ANYONE ELSE? THE APPLICANT? WE CAN'T HEAR YOU. >> IS THE MICROPHONE NOW ON? >>ORLANDO GUDES: YES. >>STEVE MICHELINI: I HAVE BEEN SWORN PREVIOUSLY. IT WAS A PLEASURE SPENDING THE DAY WITH YOU TODAY. THIS PROPERTY IS SURROUNDED BY COMMERCIAL AND MULTIFAMILY. >>CAMARIA PETTIS-MACKLE: CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE. WE ALL KNOW WHO HE IS BUT CAN HE STATE HIS NAME FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE? >>STEVE MICHELINI: STEVE MICHELINI REPRESENTING PETITIONER FOR 30 SHWEST HORATIO STREET, THANK YOU, SIR. >>STEVE MICHELINI: THE PROPERTY IS SURROUNDED BY COMMERCIAL AND MULTIFAMILY. IT'S ZONED CG. AND THE TOWNHOUSES ARE ALLOWED UNDER A SPECIAL DESIGN EXCEPTION. AND THIS PARTICULAR LOCATION IS ON HORATIO WHICH REQUIRES THE WAIVER FOR THE LOCATIONAL CRITERIA TO BE ON A COLLECTOR, AS ALREADY POINTED OUT. IT IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE SURROUNDING DEVELOPMENT. IT HAS THE SAME BASIC SETBACKS AS THE PROPERTIES ALONG THE SAME SIDE OF THE STREET, AND ACROSS THE STREET AND DOWN THE STREET. WE ARE TRYING TO INTRODUCE, AS I SAID, A MULTIFAMILY PROJECT INTO AN AREA THAT ALREADY HAS IT, THE JEWISH TOWERS IS TEN STORIES, THE ADJACENT PROPERTY NEXT DOOR IS TWO STORIES, THERE ARE OTHER THREE-STORY AND THEN ACROSS THE STREET THERE'S A SINGLE-STORY BUILDING. SO WE ARE NOT INTRODUCING A CONCEPT THAT IS UNIQUE TO THIS AREA. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF TOWNHOUSE PROJECTS WITHIN THE SEVERAL BLOCKS AROUND HEAR. WE ARE ASKING FOR RELIEF FROM THE SECTION THAT CAMARIA HAS INDICATED WHICH IS 27-132. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE YOU CAN TELL YOU. WE HAVE A COMPATIBLE DESIGN. IT'S NOT BLAZING ANY NEW TERRITORY. WE BELIEVE IT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN. IT ALSO DOES NOT IMPACT ANY OFF-SITE OR ADJACENT SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCES. IT'S AN IDEAL LOCATION FOR AN IN-FILL PROJECT. WE STILL HAVE TO MEET THE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE ONES THAT IF YOU GRANT THE WAIVER, WE STILL HAVE TO FILE FOR THE DESIGN EXCEPTION TO ERIC COTTON'S OFFICE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE REGULAR STANDARD ARE MET. SO I WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE. I DON'T KNOW WHERE ELSE TO TELL YOU EXCEPT THAT WE THINK THE PROJECT IS A VIABLE PROJECT. AGAIN, IT'S NOT CREATING A HARDSHIP FOR ANYONE ELSE. WE NOTICED FOR THE HEARING. WE DID NOT RECEIVE ANY POLICE FROM ANY OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS THAT WERE NOTICED. AND WE POSTED THE PROPERTY. SO WE RECEIVED IN A COMMENTS WHATSOEVER REGARDING OPPOSITION OR ANY CONCERN. I WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. I THINK THE STAFF CAN'T WAIVE THESE SECTIONS BY RIGHT. THEY HAVE TO COME TO THE CITY COUNCIL FOR WAIVING. SO WE COULD PRESENT THE EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES THAT I JUST GAVE YOU, WHICH WAS IT'S ON A COMMERCIAL STREET, IT'S ADJACENT TO OTHER COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES, BUT THE STAFF DID NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO WAIVE THOSE CRITERIA. SO I AM RESPECTFULLY REQUESTING YOUR APPROVAL. >>ORLANDO GUDES: ANY QUESTIONS? MR. DINGFELDER, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: NO QUESTIONS. I WILL JUST ONCE AGAIN AGREE WITH MR. MICHELINI. THAT SECTION OF HORATIO IS VERY CLOSE TO MacDILL. I CAN'T PICTURE ANY SINGLE-FAMILY USE ALONG THAT ENTIRE BLOCK. IT'S A MIXED USE. THERE ARE SOME OFFICES THERE. THERE'S A MEMORIAL HOSPITAL NEARBY, JEWISH TOWERS IS NEARBY, THE ACLF IS NEARBY. AND THEN ACROSS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF MacDILL, MR. MICHELINI AND HUTS CLIENTS HAVE BUILT A VERY SIMILAR PRODUCT. SO I DON'T BELIEVE IT HAS ANY NEGATIVE IMPACTS IN THE COMMUNITY. AND I AM GOING TO SUPPORT IT. AND I ASSUME THAT SOMEBODY ELSE IS THERE TO SPEAK. I APOLOGIZE IF THERE IS. >>MARTIN SHELBY: WE NEED TO VERIFY THAT. >>ORLANDO GUDES: ANYBODY ELSE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? >>STEVE MICHELINI: I'M THE LONE RANGER HERE. >>THE CLERK: NO ONE HAS REGISTERED. >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. MANISCALCO MOVED TO CLOSE. SECOND BY MR. MIRANDA. ALL IN FAVOR? ANY OPPOSED? ALL RIGHT. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MR. CHAIRMAN, I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO OVERTURN THE ZONING ADMINISTRATION DENIAL. I MOVE TO OVERTURN THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR'S DENIAL OF THE APPLICATION SU -21-38 BECAUSE THE PETITIONER IS CONSISTENT WITH THE OFFICE OF GENERAL STANDARD SET FORTH IN SECTION 27-132, 27-129, AND 27-130. MR. MICHELINI STATED THAT THERE WERE NO OBJECTIONS FROM ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNERS. IT'S ON A COMMERCIAL ROAD. AND AS WELL AS ALL THE OTHER THINGS HE STATED. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE OVERTURNED, AND GIVEN TO THE PETITIONER FOR APPROVAL. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: SECOND. >>ORLANDO GUDES: SECOND BY MR. MIRANDA. ROLL CALL. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES. >>JOSEPH CITRO: YES. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: YES. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YES. >>BILL CARLSON: YES. >>ORLANDO GUDES: YES. >>THE CLERK: MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY WITH VIERA BEING ABSENT AT VOTE. >>STEVE MICHELINI: THANK YOU, COUNCIL, WE ARE SORRY ABOUT THAT. WE ARE SORT OF BACKED UP. ALL RIGHT, GENTLEMEN. BE THE LAST ITEM ON THE EVENING NOW, ITEM . AND YOU ARE RECOGNIZED, MR. SHELBY. 111. >> I DID PROVIDE A RESOLUTION THAT I DISTRIBUTED TO YOU. AND UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES PRESENTED TO COUNCIL FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: DO YOU WANT TO READ YOUR SPEAL? >>JOHN DINGFELDER: DO YOU WANT TO HAND IT? >>MARTIN SHELBY: SO I WOULD LIKE -- >>BILL CARLSON: I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE PASS THIS RESOLUTION THAT UNFORTUNATELY TO MAKE IT A RESOLUTION YOU HAVE TO AND THE BOTTOM, BUT THE SUBSTANCE OF IT IS SECTION THAT SAYS THE CITY COUNCIL, CITY OF TAMPA FULLY SUPPORTS THE CUBAN PEOPLE IN THEIR EFFORTS TO GAIN POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC FREEDOM. >>ORLANDO GUDES: MOTION BY MR. CARLSON. SECOND BY MR. DINGFELDER. ANY DISCUSSION? >>BILL CARLSON: WITH ALL DUE RESPECT TO COUNCILMAN CARLSON, I CAN'T SUPPORT THIS AND I WILL GIVE MY REASONS. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH NOT SUPPORTING THE PEOPLE OF CUBA. THE AMERICANS OF CUBAN DESCENT. WHEN COUNCILMAN CARLSON MADE HIS MOTION HE SAID IT'S GOING TO BE A ONE-SENTENCE RESOLUTION. SAYING THAT WE WERE GOING TO SUPPORT THE PEOPLE OF CUBA. IN SECTION 2 IT SAYS PROPER OFFICES OF THE CITY OF TAMPA ARE HEREBY AUTHORIZED. WE DO NOT HAVE THAT POWER TO AUTHORIZE THE OFFICERS OF TAMPA. THINGS NECESSARY AND PROPER, DO ALL THINGS NECESSARY AND PROPER. I THINK THOSE THINGS SHOULD BE OUTLINED. THOSE ARE THE REASONS WHY I CANNOT SUPPORT THIS RESOLUTION. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, MR. CITRO, ON PAGE 2 OF THE MOTION THAT YOU VOTED FOR THIS MORNING, SECTION 2, MR. VIERA'S MOTION, SAYS THE EXACT SAME THING. APPARENTLY THAT'S JUST STANDARD LANGUAGE THAT WE PUT ON ALL OF OUR RESOLUTIONS. I JUST WANTED TO POINT THAT OUT. THIS IS NOTHING SPECIAL. >>ORLANDO GUDES: I'M CONFUSED. EVERYTHING IN THE ORIGINAL MOTION IS IN THIS MOTION HERE. >>BILL CARLSON: IF I COULD, PLEASE. I AGREE WITH MR. CITRO. I DON'T LIKE SECTION 2 AND 3 EITHER BUT THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT SAID TO MAKE AT RESOLUTION YOU ARE REQUIRED TO DO THAT. I AM HAPPY JUST HAVING ONE SENTENCE AND WE CAN APPROVE ONE SENTENCE AS A STATEMENT. BUT IF WE WANT TO CALL AT RESOLUTION IT HAS TO HAVE THAT. THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS I OBJECTED TO IN THE OTHER RESOLUTION EARLIER THIS MORNING. AND JUST FROM MY COLLEAGUES AND THE PUBLIC, I THINK THESE ARE SIMILAR BUT THEY DO DIFFERENT THINGS. I THINK THIS HAS A CLEAR SIMPLE STATEMENT, AND WITHOUT ALL THE OTHER WORDS IN THE OTHER ONE, AND IT PROVIDES A SIMPLE STATEMENT THAT FOLKS CAN USE AND ALSO THE ONE THAT WAS APPROVED THIS MORNING. BUT I THINK THEY ARE DIFFERENT. IF YOU ALL KNOW A LEGAL WAY TO GET RID OF THOSE TWO SECTIONS I AM HAPPY TO DO THAT. I WOULD RATHER HAVE JUST ONE SENTENCE. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MR. SHELBY? >>ORLANDO GUDES: HE RAN. HE RAN! [ LAUGHTER ] >> HE WENT NEXT DAR TO ASK THEM TO QUIET DOWN. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I APOLOGIZE. I DON'T HAVE THE ORIGINAL. WEED IT EARLIER IN THE MORNING. AND I TRUST BUT VERIFY. WHAT IS IT NOW? >>JOHN DINGFELDER: DO I KNOW AT THE BOTTOM NUMBER 2. SECTION TWO, ALL POWERS OF THE OFFICERS. NOW THEREFORE. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: I THINK ANYTIME WE DO A RESOLUTION IT HAS THE SAME LANGUAGE. >>JOSEPH CITRO: I STAND CORRECTED. I APOLOGIZE. >>MARTIN SHELBY: AS APPROVED AS TO FORM THE CITY OF TAMPA SINCE THE TIME I HAVE WORKED HERE I WOULD SWEAR THIS IS THE FORM OF A RESOLUTION. IT IS AN OFFICIAL DOCUMENT. CERTAINLY, AS A RESULT OF PASSAGE OF THIS RESOLUTION, THE CITY CLERK HAS TO NOT ONLY SIGN IT BUT ASSIGN A NUMBER, AND ALSO DO WHAT IT TAKES TO BE ABLE TO PERPETUATE IT AND PRODUCE IT IF IT HAS TO. SO IN THAT SENSE, IT WOULD BE PREFERENTIAL TO TAN OUT THAT LANGUAGE AND THAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE -- THAT'S THE WAY I WAS INSTRUCTED. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: AND I HAVE TO AGREE WITH MR. CARLSON AND MR. CITRO THAT WHAT THIS MEANS WHAT WE PASSED ON BOTH THE ONES, BOTH OF THEM, BOTH RESOLUTIONS. I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU HAVE TO HAVE THAT. THE OFFICER OF THE CITY OF TAMPA. DOES IT MANY DEPARTMENT HEADS? I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT MEANS. >>ANDREA ZELMAN: I THINK MR. SHELBY JUST TOUCHED ON -- SHE HAS TO RECORD IT, MAKE IT AVAILABLE. SO I THINK THAT LANGUAGE, MY UNDERSTANDING, UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES CATCH-ALL LANGUAGE, IN ANY GIVEN RESOLUTION THERE MAY BE DIFFERENT ACTIONS THAT THE CITY HAS TO TAKE, DEPENDING ON THE SUBJECT OF THE RESOLUTION, WHETHER IT'S APPROVING AN AGREEMENT, WHETHER THERE NEED TO BE FOLLOW-UP. SO RATHER THAN SPELLING OUT EVERY SINGLE STEP, IT'S A CATCH-ALL THAT WHATEVER ACTIONS MAY BE NECESSARY TO EFFECT KUWAIT IT, BUT AGAIN, I THINK MR. SHELBY JUST GAVE YOU AN EXAMPLE, AND THE CITY CLERK FOR ANY RESOLUTION HAS TO AGAIN GIVE IT A NUMBER, RECORD IT, ARCHIVE IT. >>JOSEPH CITRO: I STAND CORRECTED. I THINK THAT CATCH-ALL PHRASE CAN BE VERY MISLADY WILLING. DOES THAT CATCH-ALL PHRASE INCLUDE DEPARTMENT HEADS SUCH AS TPD, SUCH AS -- SO IT'S ALMOST AGAIN, MY APOLOGIES. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: ALL RIGHT. LET'S GO.% >>JOSEPH CITRO: YOU ARE SHAKING YOUR HEAD. >>BILL CARLSON: WAS THERE A SECOND? OKAY. , ROLL CALL VOTE. >>BILL CARLSON: YES. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: YES. >>LUIS VIERA: YES. >>JOSEPH CITRO: YES. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: YES. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YES. >>ORLANDO GUDES: YES. >>THE CLERK: MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. >>ORLANDO GUDES: ITEM NUMBER 111. CHIEF OF STAFF JOHN BENNETT IS ON THE LINE TO DISCUSS THAT ITEM. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: YOU ARE ON, JOHN BENNETT. >>JOHN BENNETT: GOOD EVENING, COUNCIL. I'M HERE, JOHN BENNETT, CHIEF OF STAFF. JUST WANT TO BE HEAR TO SUPPORT ANY DISCUSSION AROUND CONTINUATION OF CMT. IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE ORIGINAL WAS TO GO BACK TO WHAT WE WOULD CALL NORMAL BUSINESS, WITH THE GOVERNOR'S ORDER EXPIRING I BELIEVE ON JOHN 26th. MS. ZELMAN ASK CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG. AND I KNOW THERE'S BEEN SOME DISCUSSION FROM THE PUBLIC AND COUNCIL. SO WE ARE HEAR TO STAND BY ANY RECOMMENDATIONS OR REQUESTS TO SUPPORT CONTINUATION OF CMT OR OTHER WAYS. >>GUIDO MANISCALCO: MR. CHAIRMAN, IN REGARDS TO POSSIBLY CONTINUING THE CMT AND VIRTUAL HYBRID, WHATEVER IT IS, THE ONLY WAY THAT I WOULD SUPPORT IT IS IF WE SOME S TO GUFF HELP TO THE CLERK'S OFFICE, I KNOW SULING IS HERE, AND AN TREMENDOUS EFFORT ORGANIZING PEOPLE, MOVING THEM OVER WHEN WE HAVE THE RECORDED MESSAGES GOING THROUGH ALL THE VOICE MAILS AND EVERYTHING. I THINK THAT WE SHOULD EITHER BRING SOMEBODY ELSE ONBOARD, OR PUT US UNDER THE DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES. THIS IS A SITUATION THAT WE DIDN'T EXPECT, BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC. AND NOW THAT THINGS ARE GOING BACK TO AS THEY WERE, I KNOW PEOPLE FROM THE PUBLIC, SOME PEOPLE HAVE ASKED THAT WE CONTINUE THIS. BUT IF WE ARE TO DO SO, I THINK WE NEED MORE SUPPORT THAN THE CLERK'S OFFICE SO THEY ARE NOT AS OVER WORKED AS THEY ARE NOW. >>ORLANDO GUDES: I THINK WE ASKED FOR THE ADMINISTRATION TO LOOK AT ADDING SOME HELP TO THE CLERK'S OFFICE FOR THE UPCOMING OCTOBER 1. IS THAT CORRECT, CHIEF? >>JOHN BENNETT: YOU ARE CORRECT CHAIRMAN. WE HAVE MET WITH MS. FOXX-KNOWLES AND SOME OF HER STAFF WITH, HR AND THE CFO, AND WE ARE DOING AN ASSESSMENT. I WILL JUST POINT OUT TO YOU, COUNCILMAN MANISCALCOT COMMENTS THAT DEPENDING ON COUNCIL'S WISHES ON THE CONTINUOUS CMT, MAYBE YOU CAN INTO THE FISCAL YEAR NEED TO LOOK AT ANY EXPENSES NOT JUST OF THE DUTIES THAT MAY NEED RIGHT SIZING WITHOUT CMT. SO THOSE EFFORTS ARE UNDERWAY BUT AGAIN WE ARE STANDING BY. >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. CARLSON, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. >>BILL CARLSON: I BELIEVE IN MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE PUBLIC ACCESS. THERE'S ALSO A LOT OF TRADE-OFF TO THIS TEMPORARY MEASURE THAT WAS PUT IN. IF WE DO SOMETHING, I THINK WE OUGHT TO GIVE IT -- BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW THE COST OR THE ABILITY TO DO IT, AND BECAUSE IF WE DID IT AS A TEMPORARY MEASURE DURING A PANDEMIC, I THINK WE OUGHT TO REVIEW IT FOR A SET PERIOD OF TIME THAT WOULD HAVE AN AUTOMATIC EXPIRATION, AND THEN WE COULD ALWAYS EXTEND IT IF WE WANT. BUT THEN IT WOULD HAVE AN OUGHT YUCK EXPIRATION BECAUSE IT'S NOT SOMETHING THE CITY HAS EVER PLANNED OR REALLY DONE. BUT NUMBER TWO AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, IF WE ARE GOING TO DO CMT, ABSOLUTELY THINK THAT WE HAVE TO HAVE VIDEO. IT CAN'T BE THAT WE ONLY HAVE VIDEO FOR LAND USE ISSUES, BECAUSE THE VIDEO IS A PROXY FOR BEING HERE IN PERSON. AND AS WE SAID IN OTHER MEETINGS, WE GET HUNDREDS OF E-MAILS AND HUNDREDS OF CALLS. I HAVE GOTTEN PROBABLY A HUNDRED CALLS FROM PEOPLE IN MAIM. WE GET HUNDREDS OF CALLS, AND WE GET HUNDREDS OF E-MAILS. WE READ ALL OF THEM. WE LISTEN TO ALL OF THEM. WE HAVE MEETINGS ALL DAY. AS YOU SAID IT'S A FULL-TIME JOB, NOT REALLY A PART-TIME JOB, SO WE LISTEN TO THE PUBLIC, ENGAGE WITH THE PUBLIC GO, OUT WITH THE PUBLIC. SPEAKING HERE REALLY IS TO ALLOW PEOPLE TO SPEAK ON A SPECIFIC ISSUE, PARTLY TO US BUT MOST OF THEM HAVE GIVEN US THEIR OPINION ALREADY. REALLY THEY ARE SPEAKING TO THE REST OF THE WORLD OR THE REST OF THE PUBLIC. AND I KNOW FROM A LEGAL PERSPECTIVE MARTY DISAGREES WITH THAT. BUT IF WE ARE GOING TO BE DO THAT AND IT'S GOING TO BE A PROXY FOR BEING HERE IN PERSON THEN WE NEED TO VIDEO. >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. DINGFELDER, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: MR. CARLSON, I AGREE WITH YOU. I THINK TO THE EXTENT THAT TECHNOLOGICALLY THAT FOLKS CAN PARTICIPATE BY VIDEO. I THINK IT'S MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE, WE CAN SEE THEIR FACES AS OPPOSED TO JUST HEARING AN AUDIO RECORDING. I DON'T THINK IT SHOULD BE A REQUIREMENT BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE DON'T HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY TO DO IT, AND WE HAVE SEEN THAT ON AN FEW OCCASIONS. BUT I THINK WE SHOULD ENCOURAGE THE VIDEO REQUIREMENT. BUT GOING BACK TO THE CORE QUESTION, OF CMT, SHORTLY AFTER THIS DISCUSSION BEGAN LAST MONTH, I'M SURE THAT YOU GUYS RECEIVED AS MANY E-MAILS AS I DID FROM OUR CITIZENS, FROM OUR CONSTITUENTS, URGING US TO CONTINUE CMT. AND I FOR ONE DON'T REMEMBER RECEIVING ONE E-MAIL, PHONE CALL OR ANYTHING SAYING NO CMT. I THINK OUR CONSTITUENTS HAVE SPOKEN LOUD AND CLEAR. I THINK THAT TECHNOLOGY IS SUCH THAT PEOPLE FEEL COMFORTABLE DOING THAT, AND FRANKLY IT MAKES US THAT MUCH MORE ACCESSIBLE. AND THAT'S WHAT WE SHOULD BE. WE SHOULD BE AS ACCESSIBLE AS POSSIBLE TO THESE FOLKS ON EVERY POSSIBLE ISSUE. AND WOULD IT BEIERS NOT TO? SURE IT WOULD. LET'S CLOSE THE DAR AND MAKE THESE DECISIONS AND BE DONE BY 11:00 IN THE MORNING. BUT WE ALL KNOW THAT'S NOT THE WAY WE DO BUSINESS. SO ANYWAY, I THINK IT'S A IN A BRAWNER. I THINK WE SHOULD LEAF THE CMT IN PLACE, AND WORK REQUEST MR. BENNETT, AND WITH MS. FOXX-KNOWLES AND SULING TO SORT OUT THE DETAILS OF THE COSTS AND WORK THAT INTO THIS NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET. AND PROCEED ACCORDINGLY. THAT'S WHY I HOPE THIS COUNCIL MOVES FORWARD WITH IT. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: I APPRECIATE EVERYTHING THAT'S BEEN SAID AND I AM NOT IN DISAGREEMENT. HOWEVER, NOT EVERYONE HAS THE CAPABILITY TO COMMUNICATE WITH CMT OR WHATEVER. AND I THINK IF THAT'S THE CASE, I REMEMBER WHERE YOU HAD 4 OR 500 PEOPLE IN THIS CHAMBERS, DOWNSTAIRS, DOWN THE STREET, OVER ALCOHOL ZONING IN ONE LOCATION. AND WHEN THAT HAPPENED, THEY DON'T SHOW UP, AND WHAT ABOUT IF THERE'S 4 OR 500 ON CMT WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO END AND HOW ARE YOU GOING TO END IT? AND I AM NOT OPPOSED TO IT BUT WE HAVE TO HAVE A PLAN TO UNDERSTAND IF IT'S OVER SUCCESSFUL HOW ARE YOU GOING TO HANDLE IT? I WOULD IMAGINE THAT YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE -- AND RATELY SO, IF SOMEBODY REALLY WANTS TO PARTICIPATE, THIS IS THE EASIEST WAY AND I AGREE WITH THAT. BUT ALONG WITH THAT COMES A RESPONSIBILITY OF HOW DO YOU TREAT ALL OF THEM ALAKE? AND THERE IS WHERE THE PROBLEM COMES. NOT ALL SOCIETY CAN AFFORD THE ITEMS THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT TO COMMUNICATE WITH THAT YOU ARE ELECTED OFFICIALS. NOW HOW IS THAT GOING TO HAPPEN? >>JOHN DINGFELDER: IF I COULD, MR. CHAIRMAN. MR. MIRANDA, I PREFACED BY COMMENTS EARLIER BY SAYING IN RESPONSE TO MR. CARLSON, WHO WANTS VIDEO, I CLEARLY SAID WE NEED TO URGE VIDEO BUT ACCOMMODATE JUST A PHONE CALL. BECAUSE I AGREE WITH YOU 100%. HOPE EVERYBODY HAS A PHONE THESE DAYS AND SOME PEOPLE WANT TO LEAF US PHONE MESSAGES AND THAT'S FINE. WE NEED TO ACCOMMODATE BOTH. >> MAY I BE HEARD, MR. CHAIRMAN? >>ORLANDO GUDES: YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. >>MARTIN SHELBY: JUST A REMAINDER WITH REGARD TO RESOURCES. PLEASE DON'T FORGET T&I AND THE PLATFORM AND ALL THE PEOPLE IN THAT DEPARTMENT THAT HAVE SERVED TO MAKE ALL OF THIS HAPPEN, AND LET US NOT FORGET THE RESOURCES THAT ARE NEEDED IN CTTV TO BE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE THE EXTRA WORK AS REGARD TO THAT, TOO. AND I HAD A CONVERSATION WITH MR. BENNETT ABOUT THAT AS WELL. THE RESOURCES. A LOT GOES INTO IT, AND CERTAINLY THE PUBLIC HAS MADE IT VERY CLEAR. I ATTENDED A FLORIDA MUNICIPAL ATTORNEYS ASSOCIATION CONFERENCE ON THE EAST COAST BY WEST PALM BEACH THURSDAY, FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, AND EVERYBODY HAS AGREED THAT FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE EXCEPT FOR THE SMALL CITIES, THIS IS THE NEW NORMAL. AND THAT'S FINE, BECAUSE NOBODY, ESPECIALLY THIS COUNCIL, WANTS TO BE VIEWED OF STATE OF FLORIDA PUBLIC PARTICIPATION. THAT'S NOT THE INTENT. BUT FRANKLY I WILL SHARE WITH YOU WITH REGARD TO PHONE CALLS AND PHONE MESSAGES, YOU SAW WHAT COULD HAPPEN WHEN SOMEBODY PERHAPS BROADCAST AND YOU HAVE PHONE CALLS THAT HAVE TO BE LISTENED TO AND YOU HAVE NAP CONTROL OVER THE LENGTH OF THOSE PHONE CALLS. COUNCIL, I JUST 2021 REMIND YOU AT YOUR SPECIAL DISCUSSION MEETING THAT CHAIR MANISCALCO HAD AT THE END OF MARCH IN PREPARATION FOR ALL THESE CHANGES TO THE RULES OF PROCEDURE, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT COUNCIL DID APPROVE WAS PUBLIC COMMENT UP TO 14 SPEAKERS. IT'S THREE MINUTES EACH. BUT IF THERE ARE 15 OR MORE SPEAKERS IT'S CUT DOWN TO TWO% MINUTES. AND THAT'S WHAT WOULD BE IMPLEMENTED AS PART OF THE PROCESS. WITH REGARD TO QUASI-JUDICIAL, THERE ARE VERY SERIOUS LEGAL CONCERNS, DUE PROCESS CONCERNS, WITH REGARD TO THAT. AND ONE OF THEM IS WE DO NOT ALLOW COUNCIL MEMBERS TO PARTICIPATE REMOTELY UNDER EXISTING RECALLS FOR QUASI-JUDICIAL, AND WE DO NOT ALLOW PEOPLE TO DO IT AUDIO ONLY, BECAUSE THERE ARE DUE PROCESS RATES THERE AS WELL. THE PETITIONER HAS THE RIGHT OF CROSS-EXAMINATION. SO I JUST 2021 BRING THAT TO YOUR ATTENTION. THIS AND THE DISCUSSION I HAD WITH OTHER ATTORNEYS THROUGHOUT THE STATE THIS WEEK WEDNESDAY, THIS IS GOING TO REQUIRE AN OVERHAUL FRANKLY OF YOUR RECALLS TO ACCOMMODATE THIS TECHNOLOGY. WE HAVE TO CATCH UP TO THIS TECHNOLOGY BECAUSE THE PUBLIC EXPECTS ITSELF. SO I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW IN ADDITION TO ALL OF THE BEHIND THE SCENES TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN, UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES ALSO GOING TO AFFECT COUNCIL'S PROCEDURES, AND WE MAY VERY WELL HAVE TO CHANGE THE WAY THE PUBLIC COMMUNITIES, BECAUSE WE HAVE THE ISSUES OF EX PARTE COMMUNICATION. I AM GOING TO BE COMING BACK TO YOU ON THAT. THE ISSUE IS WHEN YOU HAVE A 24-HOUR DEADLINE FOR EX PARTE COMMUNICATIONS, YOUR PRESENT E-MAIL ADDRESS, TAMPA CITY COUNCIL AT TAMPAGOV.COM IS COMMUNICATION. IF YOU GET IT 20 MINUTES BEFORE A HEARING AND YOU HAPPEN TO READ IT AND THE PETITIONER OR APPLICANT DOESN'T KNOW ABOUT IT YOU COULD POTENTIALLY PREJUDICE THEM IF THEY DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT AND DON'T HAVE AWARENESS OF IT TILL AFTER THE HEARING, AFTER YOUR DECISION. SO THERE'S A LOT OF MOVING PARTS TO THIS. AND NOT TO SAY THAT I AM AGAINST IT FRANKLY. UM JUST RECOGNIZING THE FACT THAT THAN THE PUBLIC WANTS IT AND THE PUBLIC HAS COME TO EXPECT IT, AND WE HAVE TO CATCH UP TO THE PROCESS BECAUSE THERE WAS A TIME CITY COUNCIL WHEN YOU REMEMBER THESE MEETINGS WERE ALMOST AUTOMATIC. AND THE AMOUNT OF LOGISTICS THAT GO ON HUNDRED DOLLAR THE SCENES TO BRING THIS TO YOU NOW HAS TO BECOME OUGHT YUCK AGAIN IF THIS IS GOING TO CONTINUE FORWARD SO WE CAN COME BACK AND DO BUS AS THE WAY THE PUBLIC EXPECTS. >>ORLANDO GUDES: MR. MIRANDA. >>CHARLIE MIRANDA: YOU JUST REMINDED ME OF SOMETHING. ALMOST TEN YEARS TO BE THIS DAY, STUM IN AUGUST OR SEPTEMBER, HOWEVER, I WAS DENIED THE RATE TO VOTE BY PHONE. WHEN I WAS TRYING TO RECAP RATE FROM A COUPLE OPERATIONS THAT I HAD. AND I CALM HERE. I WASN'T SUPPOSED TO LEAVE THE HOUSE. AND I HAD VERY MUCH TROUBLE IN WALKING. AND I CALLED AND I SAID, COME PUCK ME UP. AND I SAID YOU JUST TAKE ME TO THE ELEVATOR AND I WILL MAKE IT UP HERE. I VOTED. I TURNED AROUND AND LEFT. AND THAT'S WHAT TECHNOLOGY HAS DONE. THEY HAVE CHANGED ALL OF THESE THINGS. SO WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL, BUT WE HAVE TO BE PRECISE ON WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO DO, BECAUSE HOW CAN THEY AND WE CAN'T DO THAT? THERE'S SOMETHING HAS TO BE CHANGED. END OF STORY. , AND WE ARE GOING TO BRING THE THIS IN FOR A LANDING. >>BILL CARLSON: I HAVE HEARD THE STORY MANY TAMES ABOUT YOU COMING IN BUT I DIDN'T GET TO SEE IT BUT THE STORY SAID THAT YOU CAME IN WITH IVs CONNECTED. IS THAT CORRECT? >> I HAD TWO. I HAD THREE OF THEM BUT THEY DID NOT SHOW. >>LUIS VIERA: SOMETHING MR. SHELBY TALKED ABOUT WHICH IS A DIFFERENCE FOR NON-QUASI-JUDICIAL IN TERMS OF TAMES WHEN THEY WANT TO CONSIDER. I BROUGHT THIS UP WHEN I SUPPORTED COUNCILMAN DINGFELDER'S MOTION WAS TO POTENTIALLY HAVE MORE PEOPLE APPEARING OVER THE PHONE OR OTHER WAYS, NOT HERE LIVE, ONE MINUTE, TWO MINUTES, WHATEVER, JUST TO CUT DOWN ON THAT POTENTIAL FOR CUMULATIVE ABUSE. FOR EXAMPLE, FOR TODAY'S MOTION, I DIDN'T DO SOMETHING CALLED ARMS OR WHATEVER, GOD FORBID THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE COME. WE 2021 HEAR FROM PEOPLE BUT WE DON'T WANT TO HAVE 300 PEOPLE IN CASE SOMETHING LIKE THAT HAPPENS. THEN IT MAY BE SMART TO HAVE THAT IN MY OPINION.% IT MAY ALSO BE SMART TO HAVE THIS BE REAUTHORIZED EVERY SIX, NINE MONTHS OR SO, BECAUSE IN CASE THERE ARE A BECAUSES OF IT, AND IT NEEDS TO BE AMENDED, JUST SO THAT IT COMES UP FOREIGN REVIEW, I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT. JUST MY THOUGHTS. HERE COMES THE LANDING, HEAR COMES THE LANDING. ALL RIGHT. WE ALL HEARD FROM THE PUBLIC. YOU STOP IT, YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. TIMES HAVE CHANGED. WE JUST SAW EARLIER IN REFERENCE TO THE SITUATION WE HAVE WITH SOME ADMINISTRATORS WITH THE PROCESS. ENACTED SOMETHING BUT IT SEEMS THAT'S NOT GOING TO BE A VIABLE THING DOWN THE ROAD. HAS TO BE LOOKED AT. COVID CAUSED A PROBLEM BUT WAS AWAY THAT PEOPLE COULD COMMUNICATE. MY SUGGESTION, GENTLEMEN, IS WE LEAVE IT IN PLACE RIGHT NOW, WE LET MR. SHELBY GET WITH CHIEF OF STAFF, WHAT THE COST ANALYSIS WOULD BE, LOOK AT SOME RULES AND GUIDELINES PERTAINING TO HOW WE'LL HANDLE CERTAIN SITUATIONS, AND THEN WE BRING IT BACK AND TAKE IT TO A VOTE. I WOULD SAY WAIT UNTIL AFT LEAST OCTOBER 1, KEEP IN THE PLACE, AND MR. SHELBY WORK ON IT AT THIS POINT AND THEN COME BACK AND MAKE DECISIONS. >>JOHN DINGFELDER: IF THAT'S A MOTION I WILL BE GLAD TO ACCEPT IT ON YOUR BEHALF AND SEE WHERE IT GOES. WE HAVE A MOTION BY THE CHAIR AND A SECOND BY MR. MANISCALCO. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION TO DEFER THE ITEM UNTIL OCTOBER 1st, REQUESTING THAT MR. SHELBY WORK WITH MR. BENNETT ON THE DETAILS?
