[00:02:06] of understanding with the Tampa Bay Regional Resiliency Coalition on sea level rise. As [00:02:11] all of you, I'm sure, will recall, Mr. Sean Sullivan of the Tampa Bay Regional Planning [00:02:16] Council was in attendance at your meeting on October 2nd to introduce the memorandum [00:02:23] of understanding, which is a regional cooperative in respect to climate change and mitigation [00:02:30] strategies. The purpose of the memorandum of understanding is in large part to demonstrate [00:02:38] the city's commitment to participate in regional mitigation efforts. Based on our review of [00:02:46] the memorandum of understanding, we're recommending that you vote in favor of entering into the [00:02:53] agreement. Thank you. For the benefit of anybody that wasn't here two weeks ago, this was actually [00:02:58] signed off by 25 plus or minus local governments in the Tampa Bay area. And I'm not sure if [00:03:07] you saw it, but I think the Monday after we got first notice of it, we could not because [00:03:12] we had not had a chance to publicly notice it here. Any comments from the public? Seeing [00:03:21] none, I'll bring it back to council. Move for approval. Second. We have a motion and [00:03:26] a second. To the maker? Nothing. To the second? No. Mr. Altman? Thank you. Nothing. Mr. Starkey, [00:03:33] okay. In that case, all those in favor, please signify by saying aye. Aye. Opposed, like sign. [00:03:40] Motion passes.

[00:03:47] can't be that time again this year already. It is nearly that time again, Mr. Mayor. And [00:03:54] Veterans Alternative have proposed to host Freedom Fest in Sims Park on Friday, November [00:04:02] 9th, November 10th, and November 11th. The purpose of this agenda item is to seek your [00:04:10] permission to sell beer and wine on Friday from 2 p.m. till 9 p.m., on Saturday from [00:04:20] 12 p.m. to 10.30 p.m., and on Sunday, November 9th from 1 p.m. till 9 p.m. In conversation [00:04:32] that I had with the representatives from Veterans Alternatives earlier today, I indicated to [00:04:38] them that I would be recommending to you, rather than selling beer and wine from 2 to [00:04:44] 9 on Friday, that the recommendation would be to allow for alcohol sales only between [00:04:52] the hours of 6 and 9, so that it's concurrent with the events that they'll be hosting in [00:04:59] Sims Park. From my perspective, absent an event, it isn't appropriate to sell alcohol, [00:05:07] pardon me, beer or wine in the park. So subject to that, we are asking that you consider allowing [00:05:15] the sale of alcoholic beverages in relationship to this event. [00:05:21] Thank you. I see we have some representatives from Veterans Alternatives. Do you wish to [00:05:26] say anything? Seeing none, anybody else in the chamber want to address counsel on this? [00:05:36] Seeing nobody come forward, I'll bring it back to counsel. [00:05:41] I just have one question. Maybe you can answer it. What happens between, let's say, 5 and [00:05:49] 6 or 5.30 and 6? Yeah, please. [00:05:59] So between 5.30 and 6, so Friday the 9th we're going to have all of the vendors and all of [00:06:06] our commercial vendors, everyone like that, who's going to come in and set up. They're [00:06:09] going to start that, I think, around 10 a.m. We are giving them the option to be open [00:06:15] for the duration of the evening event, which I think is why we were kind of pushing to [00:06:20] have the alcohol sales a little bit earlier, because there will still be vendors open that [00:06:25] people can come and enjoy and have drinks and things like that. So around 5.36 we're [00:06:30] just going to be setting up for the event, getting all the tables and stuff set out in [00:06:34] the park so that Dulcet can cater for us. But we did, I did get a message from the event [00:06:40] coordinator that if we do have to sell alcohol between 6 and 9, you know, that's perfectly [00:06:45] okay. We're good to go with that. We can do that as well. [00:06:48] I just didn't know if, you know, if the event started at 6, would we be hanging out there [00:06:53] standing in line like they used to do at the Buck Stadium, waiting for 1 o'clock to come [00:06:58] along, so they changed it to 11. So, I mean, that's why I'm asking that. [00:07:03] No, I think you should be fine. [00:07:05] Okay. Then I'll propose, you know, if anybody else, then I propose we accept the proposal, [00:07:12] but on Friday, not just 6 to 9. [00:07:14] Okay. [00:07:15] Do we have a second? [00:07:16] Second. [00:07:17] Second. To the maker, anything else? To the second? [00:07:20] No.
