[00:01:53] I see it's 65% complete from the A&E services. [00:01:58] I wanted to get a little more information about where we are with that process and when [00:02:07] we think we'll be at 100%. [00:02:09] That's what I'm looking for. [00:02:10] Okay. [00:02:11] Mr. Mayor, with your permission, I'd like to defer the question to Mr. Iazzoni. [00:02:15] Very good. [00:02:16] Thank you very much, Councilman. [00:02:18] Councilman, my last communication with vendor are 95% complete on the 100,000 grant bid [00:02:24] preparation. [00:02:25] They'll be issuing those bid documents, supposedly by the end of the year, and they're also 95% [00:02:32] complete on the windows and doors that came and measured them. [00:02:36] We expect those bid documents to be issued in mid-February, according to vendor. [00:02:43] Is that in tandem with the RFP or the RFQ? [00:02:48] Yes, they're on track with their timeline in terms of what they described in terms of [00:02:52] how they're going to progress with their project. [00:02:56] What's the length of time for the submittals or for the bid to be out there? [00:03:03] Obviously, I'd like to be able to publicize it the best we can. [00:03:09] I'm just trying to make sure we don't wait until the last minute, I guess, is my question. [00:03:14] I believe vendor did make a recommendation, I believe the recommendation was as much as [00:03:18] three weeks. [00:03:19] Okay. [00:03:20] All right. [00:03:21] Very good. [00:03:22] Thanks, Mr. Mayor. [00:03:23] I'll make a motion to approve the consent agenda item for vendor and associates. [00:03:29] Do we have a second? [00:03:32] Second.

[00:03:38] Second reading ordinance 2117-2131. [00:03:43] Ordinance 2017-2131, an ordinance rezoning approximately 0.23 acres of property generally [00:03:48] located on the north side of Main Street and approximately 100 feet east of Adams Street [00:03:53] from MF14, medium density residential district, to downtown district. [00:03:58] Further described herein in Exhibit A, providing for an effective date. [00:04:02] Very good. [00:04:03] Do we have any staff report on this? [00:04:07] No, the staff report was completed at your first reading, so we didn't plan an additional [00:04:13] one for you this evening. [00:04:14] Very good. [00:04:15] In that case, I'll open this up for public comment. [00:04:19] Seeing no one, come forward. [00:04:20] Bring it back to council. [00:04:21] Move for approval. [00:04:22] Second. [00:04:23] We have a motion and a second to the maker. [00:04:25] Are we continuing with the investigation to see how many other properties are outside [00:04:33] of compliance or don't meet the right zoning classifications, whatever? [00:04:41] Because obviously this was one, and during our conversation after the staff presentation [00:04:47] the first time around was to let's identify everything and maybe we can update all at [00:04:53] once instead of progressive. [00:04:56] Mrs. Spears and I are working on that and have identified several properties which should [00:05:03] be rezoned and the city will serve as the applicant for the rezonings. [00:05:07] Okay. [00:05:08] Very good. [00:05:09] Very good. [00:05:10] Councilman Davis? [00:05:11] Nothing. [00:05:12] Deputy Mayor? [00:05:13] No comments. [00:05:14] Thank you.

[00:05:22] Motion passes. [00:05:23] Next is the rezoning application. [00:05:25] I take that back. [00:05:27] That's all the same part. [00:05:29] The next is the second reading, 2017-2129. [00:05:33] Ordinance 2017-2129, an ordinance of the City of New Port Richey, Florida relating to communications [00:05:39] facilities and public rights of way, amending the New Port Richey Land Development Code, [00:05:43] creating a new Chapter 23 in the New Port Richey Land Development Code to be entitled [00:05:47] communications facilities and public rights of way. [00:05:50] Providing findings and intent, providing definitions, providing for registration of communications [00:05:54] service providers, providing for rules and regulations for communications service providers, [00:05:59] wireless service providers and small wireless service providers, and their facilities, providing [00:06:04] for a duty to notify, providing for revocation and suspension, providing for termination, [00:06:08] providing for appeals, providing for application of these rules to existing communications [00:06:12] facilities and public rights of way, providing for insurance, providing for indemnification, [00:06:17] providing for construction bonds, providing for abandonment of the communications facility, [00:06:21] providing for pass through provider fees and fees for use of city utility poles, providing [00:06:25] for reservation of rights and remedies, providing for conflicts, providing for severability [00:06:29] and providing for an effective date. [00:06:30] Thank you. [00:06:31] Ms. Vance. [00:06:32] Mr. Mayor, members of the City Council, as I'm sure you'll recall from the first reading [00:06:36] on the siting on December 5th, the purpose of the ordinance is to support the Advanced [00:06:46] Wireless Infrastructure Deployment Act, which was effected into law on July 1st of 2017. [00:06:57] Although the infrastructure is important in terms of economic development, bad placement [00:07:07] of poles or cell facilities or wireless network extenders can provide for unsafe and unsightly [00:07:17] conditions. [00:07:18] That's the basis of the ordinance, and the staff as well as the Land Development Review [00:07:25] Board is recommending approval of the ordinance. [00:07:27] Thank you. [00:07:28] I'll open it up for public comment. [00:07:31] Seeing no one come forward, I'll bring it back to Council. [00:07:34] Move approval. [00:07:35] Second. [00:07:36] We have a motion and a second. [00:07:37] To the maker. [00:07:38] No, we went through this already. [00:07:39] To the second. [00:07:40] This is terrible state law. [00:07:43] It's absolutely the height of overstep, overreach, but it really doesn't do us any good due to [00:07:54] the fact that they've already passed it, now we have to try to regulate it, or, I mean, [00:08:00] regulate it, work with it, try to understand what we're not seeing, because I don't know [00:08:06] about you, the biggest part of the iceberg is down below, not above, and I know that [00:08:13] there's got to be something way deep in this thing that we're not seeing, and we're going [00:08:18] to have to deal with it over and over again, and depending on if it's a subcontractor to [00:08:25] a contractor, or following it, I just think that this, allowing these elements to come [00:08:32] into your, inside the city limits, is going to create some real problems for us long term. [00:08:42] I don't care how much you charge them, or how much you try to go about it, I think that [00:08:48] this thing is going to be a bit of a nightmare to manage long term. [00:08:54] It's my personal opinion, and it's my taxpayer opinion, and it's unfortunate that we just [00:09:02] can't seem to get our legislators out of Tallahassee to not give away our rights within our city limits. [00:09:09] I couldn't agree with you more. [00:09:11] Councilman? [00:09:12] I agree with Councilman Phillips' personal opinion as well. [00:09:16] Anything else? [00:09:18] Hearing no further discussion, all those in favor, please signify by saying aye. [00:09:22] Aye. [00:09:24] Opposed? [00:09:25] Like sign. [00:09:26] Motion passes.

[00:09:31] Ordinance 2017-2128, in Ordinance of the City of New Port Richey, Florida, amending Section [00:09:35] 7.11.02, prohibiting call centers and nicotine dispensing device businesses in the downtown [00:09:40] zoning district. [00:09:42] Amending Section 2.01.00, adding definitions for call center, drug paraphernalia, and nicotine [00:09:47] dispensing device business, providing for severability, providing for codification, and providing [00:09:52] for an effective date. [00:09:53] Thank you. [00:09:54] Ms. Mance, do we have any additional report from the city? [00:09:58] I'll just remind the Council that currently call centers and nicotine dispensing device [00:10:04] businesses are not spoken to in the Land Development Code, which provides an opportunity for them [00:10:11] to be established under a conditional use application. [00:10:16] The purpose of this code amendment is to restrict their uses in the city's downtown [00:10:23] area. [00:10:24] Thank you. [00:10:25] I'll open it up for public comment. [00:10:27] Seeing no one come forward, bring it back to Council. [00:10:29] Move for approval. [00:10:30] Second. [00:10:31] We have two motions and two seconds. [00:10:34] To one of the makers. [00:10:35] I'll take the second. [00:10:36] Councilman? [00:10:37] You got lead, Mr. Storky. [00:10:38] Go ahead. [00:10:39] No, I'm just going to reiterate, and I hope my colleagues agree with me on this, I'd like [00:10:44] to pursue the ordinance that the county has, as I indicated when we discussed this at the [00:10:50] last meeting, that if you want to own a head shop or something like that where you sell [00:10:55] glass pipes on 19, a parent knows going into a store like that what's inside, but I just [00:11:02] don't think our convenience stores anywhere in our city should have glass pipes or anything [00:11:06] that could be used for any kind of drug activity in plain sight of children. [00:11:11] So if we could, if you all are on board, I'd really like to follow the county's lead [00:11:15] on that and implement it here in the city of Newport Ridge as well. [00:11:19] Thank you. [00:11:20] Councilman? [00:11:21] No comments. [00:11:22] I agree with Mr. Storky on that. [00:11:24] Councilman Davis? [00:11:26] There's no further discussion. [00:11:27] All those in favor, please signify by saying aye. [00:11:29] Aye. [00:11:30] Opposed, the like sign.

[00:11:33] Next is first reading ordinance 2017-2126. [00:11:37] Councilman Davis, do you want us to push this back into January? [00:11:41] Yes, Councilman Davis has requested that we defer and table the item until your second [00:11:49] meeting in January. [00:11:51] Just to bring up, I happen to know somebody that handles, kind of coordinates all the [00:11:56] food trucks in the Tampa Bay area and they go through him to get placed, so I think we [00:12:03] need his expertise.

[00:12:32] Ms. Manns? [00:12:33] Yes, Mr. Mayor. [00:12:37] The Council approved the purchase of six Ford SUVs in conjunction with the adoption of the [00:12:46] fiscal year 2017-2018. [00:12:50] The purpose of this agenda item is to cover vehicle accessories and the installation of [00:12:57] such to include emergency equipment, emergency lighting, sirens, computer mounts, rifle and [00:13:04] shotgun racks, prisoner partitions, front and rear facing camera systems, and accessories. [00:13:11] The specific recommendation is to purchase the equipment from Dana Safety Supply Incorporated [00:13:20] as a follow-up to a City of Tampa bid award, and to do so in the amount of $90,484.96, [00:13:34] the majority of which would be paid for for penny-for-PASCO funds, $87,722.00, and the [00:13:43] remainder $2,762.96 from the police department operating budget. [00:13:50] Mr. Bogart, did you have anything you wanted to say about this agenda item? [00:13:53] No, ma'am. [00:13:54] Okay. [00:13:55] Very good. [00:13:56] I'll open this up for public comment. [00:13:59] Seeing no one, come down and bring it back to Council. [00:14:02] Move for approval. [00:14:03] Second. [00:14:04] To the maker. [00:14:05] Yeah, we knew this was coming once we approved the vehicles. [00:14:08] We asked the question that night. [00:14:10] Yeah, we sure did. [00:14:11] Why didn't you? [00:14:12] Why didn't you just bring it all at one time? [00:14:14] Yeah, exactly. [00:14:15] But yeah, but you're absolutely right, and the fleet needs to be updated. [00:14:20] With all the gear and all the stuff that they have to carry around these days, I don't care [00:14:25] what any public opinion is, I'd much rather have them in a larger vehicle than trying [00:14:30] to cram all the safety items that they're having to put into a car these days. [00:14:37] And people think it's an extravagance. [00:14:40] I don't. [00:14:41] I think it's better positioned. [00:14:45] I think it's better physically for our officers, especially with all of the in and out risk [00:14:55] of back injuries, all those kind of different things that come along. [00:14:58] So to me... [00:15:00] I think it's a prudent purchase. I think that the Penny for Pasco money was designed exactly for that and [00:15:09] Obviously we want to make sure that when they are [00:15:11] Doing their jobs. They have enough [00:15:14] Lights and sirens and everything else because some people don't pay attention to them and come flying by so [00:15:22] Get them equipped get them on the road and let's make some people's life miserable [00:15:27] Thank you [00:15:30] Councilman Davis just ingest do they have a [00:15:34] Inventory list when they get in their vehicle to make sure everything's still there every time [00:15:38] I mean, it just seems like what what they carry every day with them is phenomenal [00:15:44] It is an incredible amount of equipment [00:15:46] Each year maybe every two years. It seems like we're adding another piece that has to [00:15:51] I [00:15:54] Said it's kind of ingest, but I mean it really is important [00:15:59] Thank you [00:16:02] Yeah, I I distinctly remember us asking about when that second light was going to hit the cost [00:16:10] My only concern is when you get done with all of these renovations [00:16:14] Let's make absolutely sure that we've got no carbon monoxide leakage in those Explorers because I do not want our [00:16:21] officers harmed [00:16:23] Thank you, and I will [00:16:25] Put the same monitors that we have in our current SUVs into those vehicles, but I think that other problem has been addressed [00:16:34] Very good [00:16:35] There's no further discussion all those in favor. Please signify by saying aye aye opposed like sign

[00:16:41] Motion passes next is Police Department auxiliary power generator purchase miss Vance. Yes, sir. Mr. Mayor [00:16:49] Mr. Rivera [00:16:52] Developed some bid specifications and [00:16:56] Came up with a proposal for mooring power systems who is an authorized dealer of Caterpillar [00:17:04] to replace the generator at the Police Department and [00:17:10] the amount of the purchase for the auxiliary power generator is [00:17:17] $60,549 [00:17:20] Mr. Rivera's recommendation is [00:17:24] to approve the purchase [00:17:28] in accordance with the National Auto Joint Powers Alliance contracts number zero eight zero six one three cat and [00:17:37] I'll allow mr. Rivera to make some comments about the specific [00:17:43] Piece of equipment that is being recommended [00:17:47] Thank you this [00:17:48] Piece of equipment that we're proposing to purchase is replacing the existing generator that was purchased back in [00:17:55] 1995 [00:17:57] 23 years old we feel that after review [00:18:01] After council's requests that we review our inventory of auxiliary power generators that this [00:18:08] the purpose of this auxiliary power was too important to [00:18:12] Have a generator this age [00:18:15] Being dependable for the Police Department to operate a hundred percent under power outages [00:18:20] We felt like it needed to be replaced. We had our fleet supervisor [00:18:25] Take a look at it review it. We got comments from some of the PD staff and [00:18:30] proposed to replace this generator [00:18:34] Thank you [00:18:36] Open up for public comment [00:18:39] Seeing no one come forward bring back to council move for approval [00:18:43] Second the maker. Yeah, this is one of the items that we looked at early on at [00:18:49] some place within the budget process and I get kind of [00:18:53] weary of exactly where we were at and where we're trying to maybe push this off and [00:18:59] Obviously, we we know the importance of it and especially [00:19:03] I think 23 years is a pretty good lifespan [00:19:07] So if somebody wants to buy a used [00:19:10] Power auxiliary generator. I'm sure the chief will put it in his selling inventory, but it's important that we have that [00:19:17] I didn't see any reference in here to what? [00:19:22] What our actual budget amount was in relation to what the cost is. I'm trying to make sure I [00:19:29] What I know that we kind of left it open [00:19:32] during the proposal during the [00:19:34] The budget time, but I think this is this is a very smart move on our part [00:19:40] Same thing we talked about with City Hall, too. Thanks [00:19:44] Mr. Rivera, can you help me by responding to the question about what we budgeted? I don't recall [00:19:51] crystal [00:19:52] We budgeted [00:19:53] 80,000 and in addition to the generator being replaced there's going to be in shade structure. That's going to be [00:20:00] Is that that's not in this [00:20:04] No, it's not. Okay, and we've talked with some of the vendors. We would expect that that [00:20:09] that cost that we would get for that that [00:20:12] Shade structure would fall within the amount of money that was budgeted [00:20:17] That was actually my question, which was about the shade structure. So I remember the discussion to the second [00:20:23] I just want to say that we're if they're called first responders. They should have first-class equipment [00:20:30] Thank [00:20:31] You deputy mayor have no comments. Thank you. There's no further discussion all those in favor, please signify by saying aye. Aye [00:20:38] opposed like sign

[00:20:40] Motion passes next yard debris grinding contract. It's mr. Rivera. Can you present the agenda item? [00:20:45] Thank you [00:20:46] This item for your review and consideration for approval is the one-year contract [00:20:51] extension with the same terms and conditions and same pricing as our [00:20:55] Current contract that we have with rain or shine services LLC [00:21:00] This is for our standard yard grinding services. The contract is dated [00:21:06] January 21st [00:21:08] 2015 and the rate for that service was [00:21:12] $525 an hour the original contract term had a one-year [00:21:17] Term limit and it had the option of this proposed extension that we needed to exercise before January [00:21:25] 20th 2018 [00:21:28] Some of the conditions that we we looked at before we propose it to you was were we satisfied with the vendors? [00:21:35] Work during that time. Yes were funds available [00:21:39] To continue the contract. Yes, they were [00:21:42] And then the following item that we had to deal with was to find out if the vendor was still [00:21:49] Amenable to keeping that price the same so that we could extend this contract and he was we've attached a letter [00:21:55] That he has agreed to keep the price the same [00:21:58] We've got [00:22:00] $15,000 that's budgeted in the stormwater utility operating budget for the service an additional [00:22:07] $15,000 budgeted in the streets and right-of-way division as well [00:22:12] So we would recommend this one-year approval [00:22:15] Thank you open up for public comment [00:22:18] Seeing no one come forward to bring it back to Council [00:22:21] Move for approval second. I'd like to comment of course to the maker. I [00:22:29] Think that 30,000 figures out to be something like 60 hours. Is that [00:22:34] Roughly what we used them last year and with a hurricane are we going to need more? [00:22:37] Well, we did two different things here. This is with our regular [00:22:41] This is with our regular vegetation grinding services the services that we're going to use for the [00:22:48] hurricane Irma [00:22:49] Is based on a different contract that actually is part of the emergency debris grinding services that we have [00:22:57] We'll be bringing that contract to you within the next I think [00:23:02] Maybe the second meeting in January for your approval and we'll be using that one. They're gonna be the same company [00:23:11] Probably not there. There's only a handful of these [00:23:15] large debris companies that do the emergency work a [00:23:20] Second I'll say it again this yard debris pickup is still an issue [00:23:24] We have to get a handle on I came home from work yesterday. There's a house just north of mine. Mr. Rivera and [00:23:31] Chief Bogart and our entire code enforcement staff is very familiar with I won't mention the gentleman's last name [00:23:35] But he does not live there. There's a huge RV parked in the front driveway and just to the south of his RV in his [00:23:42] front yard [00:23:43] Adjacent to the street, but he has a loop driveway between the two asphalt driveways [00:23:47] Someone decided to make their own land landscape debris pile there yesterday or sometime probably in the middle of the night [00:23:53] There's palm trees stacked up [00:23:55] I didn't check it out. I ran in got a suit on and came to my council meeting tonight [00:24:00] Didn't check it out [00:24:01] It was still there [00:24:02] But it's going to have landscape debris added and added and added to if we don't pick it up [00:24:08] Most of it [00:24:08] like I said [00:24:09] it's palm fronds and I did a quick little walk around yesterday and none of the palm trees and [00:24:14] My visual area that I could see north south east or west had been trimmed [00:24:17] so we have a serious serious issue still with illegal dumping and this is just a great example of somebody coming along and [00:24:25] Dumping a huge amount of landscape debris and someone's front yard [00:24:29] It's at whether he lives whether it's vacant or [00:24:33] Occupied it just it absolutely blows my mind and we have a serious serious issue in our city and it's getting worse and I don't [00:24:40] Have the solution tonight, but we need to figure it out. I [00:24:43] appreciate the [00:24:45] Public Works Department getting to my part of the city today apparently and removing the huge pile of debris that was [00:24:52] Blocking my driveway. We we actually had to quit work on [00:24:57] Cleaning up the damage from the hurricane because we ran out of space [00:25:03] Probably a third of what was in my driveway [00:25:07] Appeared miraculously from somewhere else and it included palm fronds. So whoever's dumping doing palm tree [00:25:15] Stuff there. They're dumping what they can in my driveway and then apparently driving up the road [00:25:21] and dumping more [00:25:22] councilman [00:25:26] Your allocation of funds through the two departments because I see [00:25:31] 25,000 in the memorandum and I see 15 and 10 and you mentioned 15 and 15 [00:25:37] So I want to make I'm like it. Okay. Yes, sir [00:25:41] I just want to make sure that that I it was on point with that and then I [00:25:46] Know it's I know it's kind of a moving target, but the mayor mentioned it [00:25:51] Councilman Starkey also mentioned it [00:25:55] Any idea how we can get some kind of an idea of what zones you're going to be in over the next month [00:26:02] Because I know that there there was the immediate pickup after the storm [00:26:06] there was a little one after that and [00:26:08] We've had some stuff that's been out there for it for a period of time [00:26:12] But I know you're in different quadrants and just an idea of kind of where you are in that process would be great [00:26:18] Sure, we have a [00:26:20] We've actually implemented it probably the last six months, but we have on our website now the map with the zones and [00:26:28] We try to let everybody know that if they go on there [00:26:31] They can see where we're at and kind of project where we're going to be at and that's updated every Monday [00:26:40] Thank you any further discussion [00:26:43] Hearing none all those in favor, please signify by saying aye aye opposed like sign

Rivera [00:27:16] Thank you, this is phase two of phase one [00:27:20] I know we brought to you last year the smoke testing that identified several deficiencies in our [00:27:27] Sanitary sewer system, especially when it came to inflow of stormwater the smoke testing identified those areas [00:27:36] Council had requested that prior to us proceeding with the installations of these manhole covers [00:27:42] Or pans that we take a look at the topography of the areas and make sure that we weren't going to create additional problems once we [00:27:50] reduce that inflow [00:27:53] That has taken place [00:27:54] The utility manager has submitted to us his game plan of where he wants to start installing these and so this is our [00:28:03] Second phase we're proposing that by the time we finish with phase one [00:28:07] We will have these pans in stock to be able to finish up [00:28:12] installing these in our system [00:28:14] the [00:28:16] installation of these pans are one of the [00:28:20] Cost efficient practices that a utility can do to reduce that inflow that is [00:28:26] Directly related to the treatment of your influent into your wastewater treatment plant.

[00:30:00] Street Improvement Project Task Order 5565-40. [00:30:05] Ms. Manns? [00:30:07] The recommendation is to contract for professional services [00:30:13] with the Genesis Group for engineering services [00:30:17] to include base drawings, construction plan development, [00:30:20] bidding, construction administrative service, [00:30:23] and required attendance at meetings for the 2017-18 Street [00:30:29] Improvement Project, which includes roadwork [00:30:34] on 21,700 feet of roadway improvements in the city. [00:30:45] Their fee for the proposed work is $174,057. [00:30:52] Are there additional things we need to say on this agenda [00:30:55] item, Mr. Rivera? [00:30:56] Well, this is our cycle two of that 2014 roadway needs [00:31:02] assessment. [00:31:04] A lot of the areas that we have in this scope [00:31:07] would include Golf Drive, from US Highway 19 [00:31:12] to Madison Street, Massachusetts Avenue, [00:31:14] from Anderson to Grand Boulevard, West Grand, [00:31:19] Swetman Oaks, and East Grand, and Sims Grant neighborhoods. [00:31:23] And again, we're expecting to go ahead and design [00:31:27] this project. [00:31:28] We would hope to be able to bid it out in the summertime, [00:31:32] start our construction. [00:31:33] And if we ended up having a low bid underneath that $1.7 [00:31:38] that council had requested that we continue with, [00:31:42] then we would go ahead and present to you [00:31:43] again another change order to kind of speed things up [00:31:49] in that 20-year proposed plan that we have. [00:31:54] Very good. [00:31:54] Open this up for public comment. [00:31:57] Seeing no one, come forward to bring it back to council. [00:32:01] Move for approval. [00:32:04] Second. [00:32:05] To the maker. [00:32:10] Can somebody do the math for me? [00:32:11] I know it's 21,000 square feet. [00:32:13] Can somebody just identify how many roadway miles [00:32:18] that might be, or how many? [00:32:21] I know it's not extensive, but people [00:32:24] don't recognize square feet versus how many mile lanes [00:32:30] you're doing. [00:32:31] That's another. [00:32:33] I know it's piggyback on the one. [00:32:35] It looks like it's like 10% of what the budget is, [00:32:38] plus you got some contingency dollars, which is fine. [00:32:42] Obviously, the only follow-up question [00:32:45] is these funds are being allocated not out [00:32:53] of the assessment, correct? [00:33:00] Because we were clear that if we were [00:33:03] going to put the assessment into place, [00:33:05] that every dollar of that assessment [00:33:08] was going to be used for asphalt, I thought. [00:33:11] Correct. [00:33:12] I want to restate it, because we stated it before. [00:33:16] We put the fee into place. [00:33:17] So if we don't restate it, then somebody [00:33:19] will say that we're playing loose [00:33:22] with some of the information. [00:33:23] So that's one. [00:33:25] Two, being able to identify how many mile roadways. [00:33:29] I know it's cut up, but I would like [00:33:32] to be able to tell someone, last year we [00:33:34] did 2 and 1 half miles worth of new roadways, [00:33:38] or upgrading those. [00:33:40] This next one is going to be four, [00:33:41] and it's going to impact five different zones in the city. [00:33:44] It's just more PR than anything, so people [00:33:47] know what they're getting for the fee [00:33:51] that we put into place, really. [00:33:52] Sure, and we can get that on the website [00:33:54] as well to start doing those types of updates [00:33:57] for the residents. [00:33:58] But 100% of the assessment that is being collected

[00:34:52] Last Friday, we hosted the City Employee Holiday Luncheon. [00:34:55] It was well attended, and I think the food was pretty good. [00:34:59] Casey, our marketing specialist, now [00:35:02] hosts a weekly online show called Your New Port Richey, with our viewership increasing each week. [00:35:08] The show is taped in the studio on Tuesdays [00:35:11] and airs at 7 PM on Thursdays on our Facebook page. [00:35:15] But if you missed that Thursday showing, [00:35:20] you can view it anytime on our Facebook page. [00:35:24] We incorporated a kind of new event [00:35:26] this year called a Holiday Art Stroll, [00:35:28] and that was held on Saturday, December the 16th, [00:35:31] prior to our family movie night. [00:35:34] It held, I think they had just under 1,000 pieces [00:35:37] of children's art, Santa, cookie decorating [00:35:40] with the West Pasco Quilters Guild, [00:35:42] and holiday ornament making with the New Port Richey Library. [00:35:45] And it was a very well attended event. [00:35:48] The Recreation and Aquatic Center Improvement Project, [00:35:51] right now they are nearing completion [00:35:53] for the exterior painting, the drywall, [00:35:56] and the whole front portion of the facility is complete. [00:35:59] And the final glass work in the fitness center [00:36:01] is in progress at this present time. [00:36:04] Our first concert in our winter series [00:36:07] will be in Sims Park on January the 20th [00:36:10] with a band called Chain Reaction, [00:36:12] and they're a journey tribute band, [00:36:14] and the concerts will be as we've done them before, [00:36:17] from 7 to 8.30 PM. [00:36:20] And this week, our biggest initiative [00:36:23] is preparing for Toys for Tots. [00:36:25] Our distribution day is this Saturday, the 23rd. [00:36:29] With registrations, we will have 200 families per hour, [00:36:33] every hour, from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m. [00:36:37] We have volunteers all week that are sorting toys [00:36:39] that have taken over the entire GMB, [00:36:42] and we'll have 300 volunteers on Saturday [00:36:44] for distribution day. [00:36:46] That's 2,000 families? [00:36:47] Correct. [00:36:48] That's gonna be coming through on that day. [00:36:52] Obviously, we know it backs up directly [00:36:53] to Christmas weekend, I know that that's, [00:36:57] but, and so that's interesting. [00:37:02] And this is one of two sites in the county, correct? [00:37:05] Actually, there already was a site in Dade City, [00:37:10] Zephyr Hills, and I believe Land O'Lakes [00:37:11] also had a distribution day already, [00:37:13] we're the last one. [00:37:16] Thank you. [00:37:19] Ms. Manns, can we ask a few more questions? [00:37:22] Thank you. [00:37:24] What is the, I know that we talked about [00:37:26] the tentative re-grant opening dates. [00:37:30] Can we get those, because as is evident, [00:37:35] my ability to get from Lakeland to here, [00:37:38] and to schedule my time has become a big challenge, [00:37:43] and so, and I didn't know if that was gonna be [00:37:46] the weekend of the 11th, 12th, or 18th, 19th, [00:37:49] I just need to get an idea, and kind of what you have planned [00:37:53] because there's a, you know, obviously it's, [00:37:57] and the plan in which you're going to roll it out [00:38:01] to the public, what the incentives are, [00:38:06] all of those things, so that we can re-identify [00:38:10] and have people stop asking us, [00:38:13] where's the rec center in New Port Richey, [00:38:15] because I'm just, I'm over it. [00:38:18] It's been there for however many years it is now, [00:38:22] bigger, better, and badder, gonna be a lot of new [00:38:24] bells and whistles with the child care and everything else, [00:38:28] and I keep getting attendance figures through construction, [00:38:32] and I just don't understand what it is, [00:38:35] because obviously we've made it a challenge for people, [00:38:37] but it seems like everything's kind of been on track, [00:38:41] and I would really like to understand [00:38:44] how we're gonna roll it out as the new year gets here, [00:38:49] so that we can, you know, I think at some point [00:38:53] we need to talk about a city app, or app elements, [00:38:57] you know, we talked about parking apps, [00:38:59] and where you can be, and so I don't know down the road, [00:39:03] but you know, this thing needs to continue [00:39:06] to improve its revenue stream, and the only way to do that [00:39:10] is to continue to have people visit it [00:39:14] for multiple purposes, so that's my biggest thing, thanks. [00:39:20] In response to the questions posed by Councilman Phillips, [00:39:25] Mrs. Smith and I are still working on [00:39:28] the grand opening dates and the plans, [00:39:30] we're very much aware of your interest, [00:39:32] so once plans have been tentatively [00:39:38] a plan for, we would like to meet with you [00:39:42] and discuss them in more detail. [00:39:44] Okay, and continuing with that, [00:39:47] I've seen that you're doing some advertising [00:39:50] to what extent are we advertising? [00:39:52] I didn't bring that entire plan with me tonight, [00:39:55] but I'd be glad to provide that to the city manager [00:39:57] that she can send to you, we did have a very nice article [00:40:01] and large color picture that ran in Sunday's paper, [00:40:05] I believe it was in the marketing link, they call it. [00:40:08] Oh, that's what I saw. [00:40:09] Right, and that's gotten a lot of response, [00:40:12] I can give you the whole plan, [00:40:13] but we have scheduled marketing ads [00:40:17] that are gonna run like that, [00:40:18] we also have some online ads that'll be rolling out, [00:40:21] that'll be pop-ups, we just have started, [00:40:25] our membership sale just started on Sunday, [00:40:28] so everything is building more momentum [00:40:30] towards the completion of the project [00:40:33] and then to the open house. [00:40:34] Yeah, that'd be nice so we could pass it on to the public. [00:40:37] Sure, absolutely. [00:40:39] Very good, any other questions?
