[00:00:58] I'd like to ask Mr. Livingston to meet me at the podium. [00:01:01] Mr. Livingston? [00:01:19] This is a proclamation of the City of Newport Ridging. [00:01:22] Whereas Juneteenth, that is also known as Freedom Day, commemorates the June 19th, 1865 [00:01:28] announcement of the abolition of slavery in Galveston, Texas, and whereas although [00:01:33] the Emancipation Proclamation was signed by President Abraham Lincoln on January 1st, [00:01:39] 1863, it would take more than two years before the total emancipation of those enslaved was [00:01:45] announced and accepted. [00:01:47] Celebrations then broke out among the newly freed, and Juneteenth was born. [00:01:52] And whereas from the days where blacks were mistreated and segregated to Pine Hill, where [00:01:57] they attended the historic Booker T. Washington School and labored in the Arapaica sawmills [00:02:02] helping to build the infrastructure for New Port Richey in the 1920s, the City of New Port Richey strives for a more perfect union and acknowledges our city's equality, inclusion, [00:02:14] and growth. [00:02:15] And whereas the African American Club of Pasco was founded with the mission to promote an [00:02:20] environment that focuses on cultural, social, ethical, educational, and creative interest [00:02:27] while seeking ways to give back to Pasco County community through volunteer work and providing [00:02:32] positive adult role models for our youth through membership and business community sponsored [00:02:37] programs and events, and whereas the African American Club has provided cultural programs [00:02:43] including Juneteenth celebrations for over 20 years and will continue to celebrate Juneteenth [00:02:49] this year at the historic Booker T. Washington School by hosting a Juneteenth family barbecue [00:02:56] event on Saturday, June 18th, that's two weeks from now, from noon until 5 p.m. with activities [00:03:04] that will include the reading of the Emancipation Proclamation, entertainment, food, red soda [00:03:10] water, and games. [00:03:14] Is that what it is? [00:03:17] It's supposed to be red pop, but... [00:03:20] Red pop water, okay. [00:03:24] I'm sorry, I'd never heard of red soda water before. [00:03:28] Now, therefore, I, Rob Marlow, Mayor of the City of New Port Richey, hereby proclaim June [00:03:33] 19th, 2022 as Juneteenth in the City of New Port Richey and urge all of our citizens to commit [00:03:41] themselves to the continued pursuit of justice and equality as we celebrate Juneteenth and the promise [00:03:47] of freedom to all citizens on this day. [00:03:50] Signed, Rob Marlow, Mayor, and yes, I will be there. [00:03:53] All you had to say was barbecue and I will be there. [00:03:56] I will be there. [00:03:59] I will be there. [00:04:02] I will be there. [00:04:05] I will be there. [00:04:08] Would you like to say a few words? [00:04:11] Thank you. [00:04:14] So, again, my name is Ephraim Livingston. [00:04:18] I'm the president of African American Club of Pasco County. [00:04:21] I want to give at least three thanks to Carl Fuchs and to Debbie Mann and obviously to Mayor Marlow and the [00:04:27] City Council. [00:04:29] We are so excited to be a part of this and to be invited here for the Juneteenth proclamation. [00:04:35] We're also so excited about our continued relationship with the city. [00:04:39] We're so happy that the city reached out to us at the African American Club and we hope that we're going to [00:04:44] continue with this relationship with more events and more things situated and collaborative with the African American Club of Pasco County. [00:04:52] So I just want to, just for Carl's sake, I want everybody who came out here just for this proclamation to please stand. [00:05:02] Applause. [00:05:11] And these are the African American Club of Pasco County members and our supporters. [00:05:15] So, again, thank you Mayor Marlow, Carl Fuchs and Debbie Mann and also the City Council. [00:05:20] We appreciate your time and your interest in the club and your cooperation with us in our events. [00:05:25] So hopefully we'll do more events together and then we'll continue with our relationship. [00:05:29] So thank you much. [00:05:30] We appreciate it. [00:05:31] Applause.

[00:05:36] I'd like to ask Mr. Del Deschamps to please meet me at the podium. [00:05:40] Mayor, I'm going to have Kristen come up too. [00:05:42] That's fine. [00:05:55] This is a proclamation of the City of New Port Richey. [00:05:58] Where as the United Nations marks World Ocean Day each year on June 8th [00:06:03] and is an opportunity to celebrate the importance of the ocean [00:06:06] and to better understand how to interact with it in a sustainable manner. [00:06:10] And whereas the ocean covers 70% of the Earth's surface and transports heat from the equators to the pole, [00:06:17] regulating our climate and weather patterns. [00:06:19] Whereas the ocean produces over half the world's oxygen and stores 50 times more carbon dioxide than our atmosphere. [00:06:26] And whereas 80% of the marine debris in our waters originated from land [00:06:32] and it is estimated that by 2025 there will be a pound of plastic for every three pounds of fish. [00:06:39] Whereas the Piffle Chaskote flows through the City of New Port Richey, [00:06:43] providing an important ecosystem for wildlife along with recreational opportunities for residents. [00:06:51] And whereas to celebrate the City's commitment to protecting our waters, [00:06:55] the Environmental Committee has partnered with Keep Pasco Beautiful, People Places LLC, [00:07:01] and the New Port Richey Farm Net to host a special event on Wednesday June 8th [00:07:06] from 4 p.m. until 6 p.m. at Ordinance One. [00:07:10] Now therefore I, Rob Marlow, Mayor of the City of New Port Richey, [00:07:13] do hereby proclaim June 8th, 2022 as World Oceans Day in the City of New Port Richey [00:07:18] and encourage all residents to limit and prevent marine debris by picking up litter [00:07:23] and limiting their single-use plastic consumption. [00:07:26] Thank you. [00:07:34] Thank you, Mayor Marlow. [00:07:36] I do note that on here it does mention there will be a special event at Ordinance One [00:07:41] and that's in downtown New Port Richey and there will be some red pop, right? [00:07:46] But maybe some other stuff too at Ordinance One, who knows? [00:07:51] I do want to again thank the Mayor and the Council for acknowledging World Ocean Day [00:07:56] and really being a part of the environmental commitment on the part of the citizens of New Port Richey. [00:08:02] The work that will be occurring at the event and also the ongoing work with the environment here [00:08:10] is another example of the collaborative relationship that's developing [00:08:14] between the New Port Richey Environmental Committee and Keep Pasco Beautiful [00:08:19] and that's why Kristen is here and she's going to say a few words in just a moment. [00:08:23] But before we do that, I just want to note two things real quick. [00:08:27] One is that our city's participation in this is really a – makes us part of a global network, [00:08:35] part of a global community that's making a difference, beginning to make a difference [00:08:39] in turning back some of the challenges that we face environmentally. [00:08:43] The Environmental Committee also recommends to city residents [00:08:48] there are three really positive steps that can be taken to make a difference [00:08:53] in terms of the impact that each of us and all of us are having on the marine environment. [00:08:59] The first is, to the degree that you possibly can, limit the use of plastics and styrofoam. [00:09:07] Everybody's saying it's in the proclamation. We all know it. [00:09:11] I hope that some of us remember the amount of plastic compared to the amount of marine life [00:09:16] that's in the oceans. The plastics are in our bodies too. [00:09:20] So if we can limit it, that would be great. [00:09:22] Number two, to the degree that you possibly can, patronize businesses that have made a commitment [00:09:29] to their reduction of plastic and styrofoam. [00:09:33] Share your wealth, share your prosperity with the businesses that are making a commitment to. [00:09:39] And third, if you have time, volunteer, volunteer, volunteer. [00:09:44] Volunteer with groups in the community that are making a commitment to a better environment, [00:09:49] such as Keep Pasco Beautiful and such as New Port Richey FarmNet [00:09:55] and many of the other organizations that are making that commitment. [00:09:58] So reduce your own use, support the businesses that are reducing the use, [00:10:02] and then third, give your good time and energy to helping those that are trying to make a difference. [00:10:08] I'm now going to turn it over to Kristen who's going to tell you... [00:10:10] Oh yeah, thank you. [00:10:11] Well, thank you. [00:10:15] I want to turn it over now to Kristen who will tell you a little bit about what's going to happen tomorrow [00:10:19] with the cleanup event. [00:10:23] Thank you so much for this opportunity. [00:10:26] So we are doing a cleanup tomorrow for World Oceans Day [00:10:29] because what better way to celebrate the ocean than by preventing the debris [00:10:33] from ending up there in the first place. [00:10:35] So we are meeting tomorrow at 4 p.m. at Ordinance One. [00:10:39] We do ask that people try and register if possible just so that we have enough supplies. [00:10:44] You can go on to KeepPascoBeautiful.org if you still want to do that. [00:10:48] If for some reason you forget, that's okay. [00:10:51] So come out, come out to Ordinance One from there [00:10:54] so we will have all the supplies for you. [00:10:56] We will have trash bags, disposable gloves, trash pickers. [00:11:00] From there, we're going to be going to the location that we're going to be cleaning up. [00:11:04] Right now, we've looked at doing Congress, the backside of Gulf Middle School, [00:11:09] where Congress and Illinois meet. [00:11:12] If you walk that, you'll notice that it's part of a watershed. [00:11:15] You can actually see the water in there. [00:11:18] And what a lot of people don't realize is that trash, when you're walking along [00:11:22] and you see that trash that might be pushed up along a gate, [00:11:25] when we come into storm season, which we are in right now, [00:11:28] we are in hurricane season, we have those monsoon rains, [00:11:31] and then that trash ends up in our stormwater systems. [00:11:35] It goes through our stormwater systems, it ends up in our waters, [00:11:38] and it just pollutes everything. [00:11:40] So by us picking up this trash now, we can prevent it from entering our waters. [00:11:45] If by some chance you're like, oh my gosh, it's 4 p.m. and now what do I do? [00:11:50] Still go to Ordinance. [00:11:51] They will put you in the right place. [00:11:53] We're also going to have sustainable giveaways. [00:11:55] We're going to have art by local, ocean-themed art by local artists, [00:12:00] and Ordinance 1 from 4 to 7 is also donating a dollar of every draft beard [00:12:05] to keep Pasco beautiful. [00:12:07] So we would love to see you guys out there and come celebrate our waters with us. [00:12:11] Thank you. [00:12:12] Thank you. [00:12:13] Thank you. [00:12:14] Thank you.

Auto-transcript · machine-generated, may contain errors
[00:32:30] along with the Land Development Review Board, recommended approval to you the change in [00:32:38] the City's Coastal Transfer of Development Rights Program related to the method for [00:32:43] calculating the value of real estate involved in the TDR program. And specifically, the [00:32:53] change was rather than applying the annual CPI to the purchase price, it was a change [00:33:01] to using a state-certified general appraiser to determine fair market value for development [00:33:10] credits that reflected the current market conditions of the TDR. And if you have any [00:33:21] questions, Mr. Hall or I stand prepared to respond to them. [00:33:27] We'll open it up for public comment. [00:33:37] John Cain, 6041 Florida Avenue. Would there be a way that some of that could get translated [00:33:46] into some lay language? Maybe all of you are extremely bright up there and understood all [00:33:51] of that, but I really do believe in citizens' involvement and for them to comment on something [00:33:59] at this point or to not comment on something simply because they don't understand it, in [00:34:04] my opinion, is not democracy. We went into a fair amount of detail at the last meeting, [00:34:09] but let me see if I can give you the Reader's Digest non-engineering version of it. We've [00:34:16] got land primarily in parks that are never going to be developed ever, but there are [00:34:28] residential equivalents that are tied to that land, and basically we're stripping those [00:34:37] parcels of the residential buildings that you could build in there were it not a park [00:34:44] and making it available as part of the credits bank. And so if we have a building that needs [00:34:56] more credit than it has available for the size of the parcel, we can provide those. [00:35:07] An example of that, Main Street Landing was an example of that, where the parcel would [00:35:19] have had some development rights associated with it, but not enough for all the apartments [00:35:25] that wound up getting built on that parcel. [00:35:31] So it was more or less a grant to put an extension to what was already written? [00:35:37] If we have another parcel that somebody wants to develop, we can put more units on that [00:35:48] parcel than would be allowed under the current development rights for that parcel. [00:35:53] So you would be changing the development rights for that parcel? [00:35:57] That's correct. [00:35:58] That is the way I thought I was understanding it. [00:36:02] Mr. Driscoll, have I totally screwed that up? [00:36:04] No, you've stated it accurately. And then there's a charge, and what this ordinance [00:36:09] does is establishes the basis for determining what that charge is to the owner of the site [00:36:14] that's going to receive those development rights. [00:36:16] So as a citizen, I guess what I want to ask you is, is that a good idea? Because is that [00:36:21] going to lead to more density in an area that's already visiting more density, and [00:36:28] is that going to oppose to what we've always had here in New Port Richey in terms of nice [00:36:35] open lots and the things that people always say are so attractive about our area? [00:36:39] Mr. Mayor, Mr. Allman? [00:36:42] Well no, I'm just wondering if you're in a dialogue now, and I'm not so sure that [00:36:49] it's effective that we could discuss it together. I'd like to address it with my colleagues, [00:36:55] but I think if we could take the question and deal with it up here, it would be... [00:36:58] Yeah, I'd be happy to sit down if that's what you want me to do. [00:37:02] The issue... [00:37:03] I just want to have the dialogue up here. [00:37:05] There was a pretty good discussion at the last meeting on exactly what it was. [00:37:08] Yeah, I missed that meeting, and a few before that too. [00:37:12] All right. Once again, I just don't know if it's good. I would hate to see that areas [00:37:18] that are slotted to where you can only build so much that are in prime areas, especially [00:37:24] on waterways or things, if that's going to give it okay now to start putting in townhomes [00:37:29] and apartment buildings, whereas before you couldn't. That's only my concern as a citizen [00:37:34] because I would admit to you openly, as you know me personally, I am kind of an old timer [00:37:40] here, and I am not open for that kind of stuff. Thank you. [00:37:44] Thank you. Anyone else? I'm seeing no one else come forward. Bring it back to council. [00:37:50] I just want to clarify that the provisions we addressed before related to the imperpetuity [00:37:59] are not incorporated into the plan anymore. [00:38:03] That is? [00:38:04] You're talking about the covenant running with the land? [00:38:06] Yeah, that was an element of the land use ordinance, and that has been addressed, and [00:38:11] we've taken those provisions out of that ordinance, and it's awaiting review by the state, and [00:38:16] then it will come back to you for second reading. [00:38:18] I'd like to make a motion to approve the item. [00:38:24] Do we have a second? [00:38:26] Second. [00:38:27] To the maker, anything else? [00:38:30] Yeah, just under discussion, there is a pending example that I think also helps other than [00:38:36] just looking at Main Street landing on the river, which is also on the water, but I believe [00:38:41] it is the old Holiday Inn turned three times at other hotels, now soon to be a brand new [00:38:49] Marriott, I think, of some sort, with a neighboring residential use. [00:38:58] So the issues of density are issues to be discussed as to whether things are a good [00:39:05] idea or not, and the city council has discussed this before. [00:39:09] The thing to make sure to also underline that you brought up, Mr. Mayor, is this is like [00:39:17] for like. [00:39:18] So if there's land that's already in the flood plain that needs to be developed, because [00:39:24] I sit on the resiliency committee of the Regional Planning Council, and there's an awful lot [00:39:28] of discussion about new building codes, having to elevate these properties, it's going to [00:39:33] become very expensive to develop, and also we need all the drainage, all the open space. [00:39:40] So to the degree that larger parcels of land can be set aside not to be developed, all [00:39:46] the rights that are currently existing out there are just shifting. [00:39:50] So it's not adding more rights than already exist in the city. [00:39:54] Now, Gulf Harbors, where I guess folks are not here anymore that live there, and a lot [00:40:01] of the Lindrick development and a lot of the development west of the city that is not in [00:40:07] the city limits, when that developer developed it, he had a ton of residential rights on [00:40:13] it. [00:40:14] So our city doesn't have all of that excess to be able to look at projects and decide [00:40:19] whether they're good or not. [00:40:21] And if we do want to have good products that are financially feasible, and we want to have [00:40:29] that density in the city, not on your street or maybe not on some of the areas you're looking [00:40:35] at, each time that happens, it'll come back in front of the city council for discussion. [00:40:41] But this gives us a tool to perhaps provide incentives for folks to build the right way [00:40:48] and the right things and the things we want when they otherwise could put up stuff that [00:40:52] is cheap and doesn't really support us. [00:40:56] So I just wanted to say, I wasn't trying to be rude, but I wanted to comment to my [00:41:04] other council members that we're just providing a tool that will allow us to determine, with [00:41:11] public hearings every time or whatever, when it comes to any of these changes. [00:41:16] And it gives the CRA, which is the recipient of these, I think, or will be, if I'm not [00:41:21] mistaken, of these density rights. [00:41:24] Hold it in the bank. [00:41:26] Yeah. [00:41:27] The CRA is our redevelopment fund, and so this gives the CRA a tool to say it's going [00:41:32] to cost you to go out there, but if you do what we would like you to do and you leave [00:41:38] more land for drainage and you help the overall problem, it's a potential tool. [00:41:43] That's the way I see it. [00:41:45] Thank you. [00:41:46] Thank you. [00:41:47] Do a second. [00:41:48] I'm good. [00:41:49] Ms. Monaghan. [00:41:50] So part of the discussion, too, was on the cost credit. [00:41:53] So the cost credit right now is done as a consumer price index, and the proposal is [00:41:58] to use a licensed appraiser, which is a much better method. [00:42:05] Any further discussion? [00:42:07] Hearing none, all those in favor, please signify by saying aye. [00:42:10] Aye.

[00:42:11] Opposed, like sign. [00:42:12] Motion passes. [00:42:14] Next is recommendation for RFQ 22-013. [00:42:25] Earlier this year, the library led an RFQ for a master plan for library strategic planning [00:42:34] services, and Ms. Feigart is prepared to present to you the criteria that was used to determine [00:42:44] the fund that is being recommended to you and the funding source that will be used to [00:42:50] support the expenditure. [00:42:52] Thank you, Ms. Mance. [00:42:54] Good evening, City Council and Mayor. [00:42:57] Up for your consideration tonight is a request for City Council to approve entering into [00:43:03] an agreement with the Library IQ for an amount not to exceed $18,000 to facilitate the creation [00:43:12] and development of the library's strategic plan. [00:43:16] The City issued a request for qualifications for professional consultant services for library [00:43:23] strategic planning in April 2022. [00:43:29] As I am sure you're aware, a strategic plan assists with developing priorities for the [00:43:35] library so that it can continue offering essential services and information resources in a way [00:43:42] that best meets the needs of the community and supports the City's broader strategic [00:43:48] plan. [00:43:49] However, having a strategic plan is also helpful when you apply for grants. [00:43:57] It's also a requirement to apply for the Department of State Division of Library and Information [00:44:03] Services' State Aid to Libraries Operational Grant. [00:44:08] And this is an important annual funding that the library applies for every year and is [00:44:16] awarded that. [00:44:18] And it's used for additional value-added programs, classes, workshops, resources, services that [00:44:26] supplement the City's funding. [00:44:28] This year, for example, the library was awarded $17,805 as a result of this application. [00:44:38] The City received proposals from four firms with the range of offerings and estimated [00:44:45] costs. [00:44:46] After staff critiques of the applications based on criteria set forth in the RFQ, the [00:44:53] Library Advisory Board discussed the proposals at the April 25th and the May the 23rd [00:45:00] meetings. After deliberations, the board members shared their comments and voted [00:45:05] to recommend LibraryIQ with the 6 to 1 vote. LibraryIQ was the top-rated [00:45:11] firm and they provided the most favorable fee for their services. [00:45:16] Additionally, I wanted to point out the library is a member of the Tampa Bay [00:45:21] Library Consortium. That's an organization that does much to support [00:45:27] the initiatives of its member libraries by way of professional development and [00:45:32] other grants and training resources. And as such, TBLC has graciously committed [00:45:41] $5,000 in additional funding to support this project. So based on the results of [00:45:49] the evaluation process, information provided by city and library staff [00:45:54] recommendations by the LAB, the staff recommends that the City [00:46:00] Council approve awarding the RFQ for professional consultant services to [00:46:06] LibraryIQ in the amount of up to $18,000. And funding for the project is [00:46:13] available in the fiscal year 2022 library budget. And I'm available for [00:46:20] comments or questions if you should have any. Thank you. Open up for public [00:46:24] comment. Seeing no one come forward, I'll bring it back to Council. [00:46:30] Move approval. Second. Maker. Yes, I think this is the opportunity for the library to [00:46:38] examine things that are going on and opportunities for them to expand their [00:46:44] cultural role in the city. Used to be all books, now it's an awful lot more. [00:46:49] It's citizen engagement, it's job training, it's a lot of other things. One of the [00:46:55] most critical roles that the library has already played and led in is helping [00:47:01] people get their GEDs and doing a lot of the training and other things, language [00:47:05] skills. It is every day more important as this as the country faces the great [00:47:14] resignation of people of my age and a good bit of those of us in the [00:47:19] those of you in the audience as well. And up here, not mentioning anybody [00:47:25] particular, Mr. Mayor, but it causes me to suggest something when [00:47:35] they're studying it, which would be to think about the fact that one of our [00:47:39] educational facilities, the Schwepman School, has been, I guess, disengaged [00:47:46] from its regular school. And in this Global Oceans Month recognition, one [00:47:56] of the other gems of our county is the Energy Management Center. I don't know [00:47:59] how many of you all during the course of your school at all have been out there [00:48:03] to see that facility. It's getting expanded, it's sitting in a very shallow [00:48:08] area, and they just won awards of two boats to be used as training boats for [00:48:17] the students to not only learn about our oceans, but also to go out and plant [00:48:23] seagrass as they're doing seagrass planting and the other stuff there. [00:48:28] Josh McCart is the one of the fellows that runs the thing, and I have had [00:48:34] discussions with him on the BP oil spill funding that's out there. They have funds [00:48:40] for a marine research program, but they don't have anywhere to do it, and they [00:48:48] have two boats that have been ordered, and they don't have anywhere to dock [00:48:52] them. So I'd be curious to see whether the library could do what the Starkey [00:48:59] Library has done, which is a county library system, which now operates to [00:49:05] also be a resource for the school system. And maybe the New Gulf High School has a [00:49:13] great library in it, but I would really like to see what kind of library [00:49:17] facilities are envisioned for that campus that's being so close, and explore [00:49:23] the possibility of library funding to help and support the educational [00:49:29] purposes. We've talked for a long time about using the ball fields and other [00:49:35] things that the schools have and cross-referencing. The Starkey, the new [00:49:39] Starkey community, is trying to get one leg up on us, and I don't like that. So I [00:49:44] think our city ought to be just as innovative and yet just as much to start [00:49:49] doing these partnerships as possible. So I'd be curious to have, if it's possible, [00:49:55] exploration of partnership with the school board and perhaps the county to [00:50:00] support marine research, oceanography, biology, and perhaps have some kind of [00:50:07] space for classroom teaching and for, you know, lifetime learning. [00:50:13] I'll take a second. Mr. Murphy? Definitely the role of library is changing in different [00:50:21] aspects, so we've got to have a good plan going in the future. In that case, if [00:50:25] there's no further discussion, all those in favor, please signify by saying aye. [00:50:29] Aye. Opposed, like sign. Motion passes. Next, 2019 library renovations project

[00:50:36] closeout. The city entered into a contract with Hennessey Construction [00:50:43] Services Corporation for the library renovations project closeout in the [00:50:50] amount of $1,831,630 on a maximum guaranteed price basis, and the project [00:51:02] has now been fully implemented. Mr. Rivera is prepared at this time to [00:51:06] present a deductive change order on the project and a final pay request. Thank [00:51:13] you, Ms. Mance. The deductive change order is in the amount of $316,021.86, [00:51:20] and the final pay request attached is in a do-not-exceed amount of $134,097, [00:51:26] and as Ms. Mance had said, it's from Hennessey Construction. This is for the [00:51:33] library closeout project. In July 2020, you had approved an RFQ 20-011. This did [00:51:42] award the contract to Hennessey Construction as what we would call [00:51:47] contractor at risk. That was for a maximum guaranteed price of 1.8. On April [00:51:54] 10, 2021, a notice to proceed was issued to Hennessey Construction to start the [00:51:59] renovations. The major components of the project were the reconstruction of [00:52:04] restrooms, the replacement of doors and hardware, security and technology [00:52:09] improvements, replacement of carpet, the installation of terrazzo flooring in [00:52:14] the entrance, room relocations and renovations, and then interior painting [00:52:20] and finally a solar system installation. Funding for the project was identified [00:52:25] as penny-for-Pasco dollars, and staff would recommend that you do approve the [00:52:30] deductive change order as well as a final pay request. I'll open it up for [00:52:34] public comment. Seeing no one come forward, I'll bring it back to Council. Move for [00:52:40] approval. Second. To the maker? Second. Surprise, no. Ms. Motherhead? No, it's all good. [00:52:50] I do appreciate your brevity. I've been told by multiple people that there's [00:52:54] some sort of sporting event happening in 10 minutes that they wanted to get home [00:52:59] for. Just saying, so brevity is good. If there's no further discussion, all those [00:53:10] in favor, please signify by saying aye. Aye. Opposed, like sign. Motion passes.

[00:53:43] March he let a proposal requesting professional services, and he received [00:53:52] two responses to that request. One was from Platform Group, who is a Tampa-based [00:54:01] company in the amount of $30,000. The second one was from a firm out of [00:54:09] Joplin, Missouri, in the amount of $29,500. The Platform Group, which is the [00:54:17] local company, indicated that they could provide the service in a 7 to 10 week [00:54:23] delivery period. The out-of-state firm quoted a 14 week delivery period. In [00:54:31] respect to several factors, most importantly the condition of the [00:54:38] existing skate park, the city staff thought it was in the best interest of [00:54:43] the city to contract with the firm that could perform the services in the most [00:54:51] expedited time frame. Therefore, we are recommending the second lowest bid, and [00:54:59] that is to the Platform Group in the amount of $30,000, and they are the [00:55:05] Tampa firm. Open up for public comment. Seeing no one coming forward, bring it [00:55:12] back to council. Move for approval. I'll second. To the maker. Try to keep it local as [00:55:18] possible. Second. Mr. Allman? No, sir.

[00:55:30] the FRS Senior Management Services class of designation. If you'll allow me, Mr. Mayor, [00:55:35] before we get into the agenda item, I'd like to take this opportunity to [00:55:39] introduce and welcome Mr. Robert Green to the staff. He is serving as our [00:55:45] Technology and Innovations Director. He is here from Commercial Point, Ohio. He [00:55:52] and his family have relocated just recently. He, his wife Nicole, his three [00:55:59] daughters, two dogs, and mother, along with him, he has a Bachelor's of Science and a [00:56:11] Master's in Business Administration and Information Science [00:56:17] Management from Strayer University. Over 20 years of experience in [00:56:21] information management, he has demonstrated himself already to be a [00:56:26] very valuable member of the team. Although his first official date of [00:56:31] service to the city was June 1st, I think he's been working for about three [00:56:36] months helping us along as we transitioned into some new programs and [00:56:42] new capacities and welcomed some other new staff on to our IT team. So thank you [00:56:47] very much. Introduce Robert, who is the purpose of this agenda item. And Carl's [00:56:57] going to introduce the item for me, but the reason that we are introducing it is [00:57:05] because this title is not included in our FRS Senior Management Service class [00:57:12] designation, and the city is allowed to have 11 positions plus one for every 100 [00:57:20] staff positions in the city designated in the Senior Management class for our [00:57:27] Florida Retirement System position. And this, as a department head, is certainly [00:57:32] deserving of classification in the Senior Management class. And with that, [00:57:37] I'll leave it to Carl. Good evening, Mr. Mayor, the City Council. The request is for the [00:57:42] City Council to approve the addition of the Technology and Innovations Director [00:57:45] position to the Senior Management Service class in the Florida Retirement [00:57:49] System. As Council is aware, we have hired Mr. Green, who began on the 1st of June [00:57:55] as a Division Director, and his position meets the criteria for Senior Management [00:57:59] Services as outlined in the Florida statute. The City of New Port Richey is [00:58:03] currently utilizing 8 of 9 SMSC-approved positions and is allowed up to a cap of [00:58:10] 10. We recommend that the City Council approve the addition for the Technology [00:58:15] and Innovation Director position to the Senior Management Service class in the [00:58:19] Florida Retirement System as requested, and this is already part of the [00:58:24] Technology Solutions budget. Thank you. I'll open it up for public comment. Seeing no [00:58:31] one coming forward, bring it back to Council. Mr. Green's already fixed a [00:58:42] rather odd email routing issue for me, so welcome aboard. There's no further [00:58:49] discussion. All those in favor, please signify by saying aye. Aye. Opposed, like [00:58:55] sign. Motion passes. Next, City Hall HVAC Replacement Project Award and Budget

[00:59:01] Amendment Approval. Mr. Rivera, could you present the agenda item for me? Thank you. [00:59:05] This item for your review and consideration for approval is an [00:59:08] attached Do Not Exceed proposal in the amount of $602,174.18. [00:59:16] The proposal is from Air Mechanical and Service Corporation. You know them as [00:59:21] AMSCO. This is for the removal and replacement of the existing HVA system [00:59:26] here at City Hall. AMSCO currently performs maintenance, repairs, and [00:59:32] replacements for the city in accordance with terms and conditions of our ITV-17012. [00:59:37] The attached proposal meets those guidelines. In addition, staff [00:59:43] would also request that City Council approve the attached budget amendment in [00:59:48] the amount not to exceed $250,000. This item here, as you're aware, is not part [00:59:55] of the existing CIP program. The existing HVA system... [01:00:00] City Hall is the oldest operating facility system that we have. [01:00:05] The majority of the system components were installed in 1989. [01:00:10] Subsequent to the 2022 City Hall HVAC analysis, [01:00:15] recommendations to replace the system except for the air handling units, four and [01:00:20] five, and the too many split units that we have in our technology services [01:00:26] section was outlined in the Volt Air Consulting Report. [01:00:30] The scope work breakdown includes the upgrade of the existing direct digital [01:00:35] controller, the replacement of the existing 76 ton chiller, [01:00:40] the replacement of the three air handling units, and then pump replacements, [01:00:45] which would include variable frequency devices that would be installed with those. [01:00:50] The project was scheduled to be, like I had mentioned, [01:00:53] was scheduled to be placed in front of you in the 2023 CIP program. [01:00:58] Discussions with the manufacturers had led to saying that [01:01:03] the materials that we would be purchasing were four months to possibly six months out. [01:01:08] Obviously, a project like this, you want to perform in the cooler months. [01:01:12] And so we recommended that we bring this to you expeditiously so [01:01:17] that we could get it approved. [01:01:19] The city would propose to purchase the materials or [01:01:24] the equipment directly to where we would save on tax dollars, and [01:01:28] then we would be able to put this on the schedule in November or December, hopefully. [01:01:34] And so with that, we would recommend that you approve [01:01:37] the proposal as well as the budget amendment. [01:01:40] Thank you. Open up for public comment. [01:01:41] I'm seeing no one come forward. [01:01:44] Bring it back to council. [01:01:46] Move approval. [01:01:47] Second. [01:01:47] To the maker. [01:01:49] Would you repeat that? [01:01:50] No, obviously not a hockey fan. [01:01:58] No, that was well said. [01:02:00] So especially those numbers. [01:02:03] Johnson Controls was used some time ago to help affect the air conditioning system [01:02:08] in here and no longer with us. [01:02:11] Is this, you mentioned the age of this equipment. [01:02:15] Are we still using any of the stuff that was purchased in the past ten years? [01:02:21] Or is this a different elements of the AC? [01:02:25] We've replaced some of the, I'll give you an example. [01:02:28] We've replaced some of the pumps, but the technology has progressed so [01:02:32] rapidly that if you were going to spend this amount of money on a new system, [01:02:35] you're not going to reuse those pumps. [01:02:38] Thank you. [01:02:39] Second. [01:02:40] Thanks for thinking ahead and getting this rolling. [01:02:42] Yeah. [01:02:43] Ms. Motherhead? [01:02:44] Nope, all good. [01:02:47] I'm shocked that you've actually got stuff running from 1989. [01:02:50] I strongly suspect that we will see the same thing that we did in our house when [01:02:56] we replaced the 1991 air handler back a few years ago. [01:03:01] That the new systems are so much more efficient, [01:03:04] you actually save significant money on your electric bill. [01:03:09] I suspect you guys turned the temp up here tonight to get us to vote for this. [01:03:18] It has been toasty since I walked in here. [01:03:22] So I'm all in favor, let's get it done. [01:03:26] Any further discussion? [01:03:28] Hearing none, all those in favor, please signify by saying aye. [01:03:31] Aye. [01:03:32] Opposed, like sign. [01:03:33] Motion passes.

[01:03:37] Ritchie and the West Central Florida Police Benevolent Association. [01:03:41] As I'm sure you all recall, back in November of 21, [01:03:48] you ratified the agreement, the labor agreement, [01:03:54] with the West Central Florida Police Benevolent Association for [01:04:02] a three year period of time, commencing on October 1st of 2021. [01:04:11] At this time, we are asking you to ratify a memorandum of agreement. [01:04:16] And Mr. Fuchs is prepared to present the agenda item to you. [01:04:23] Good evening again. [01:04:25] So we're requesting for the city council to ratify the proposed memorandum of [01:04:28] agreement between the city of New Port Richey and [01:04:30] the West Central Florida Police Benevolent Association, [01:04:33] clarifying the 3% step amount in Article 14, which is pay provisions. [01:04:39] For fiscal year 21-22, bargaining unit members shall be eligible for [01:04:43] a performance based increase of 3% of their salary based on a mutually agreed [01:04:47] upon performance evaluation. [01:04:49] The CBA authorized bargaining unit members to be eligible for [01:04:53] career ladder increases on their anniversary dates and did not take into [01:04:56] consideration the performance based increase of 3% and [01:04:59] its application to the step plan. [01:05:01] In some cases, the performance based increase was greater than the step increase. [01:05:06] This nullified the increase. [01:05:09] The approval of the memorandum for agreement increases the step plan 3%, [01:05:13] allowing the independent attempt of both the performance based increase and [01:05:18] step be realized and affect the bargaining members pay. [01:05:23] The recommendation is for [01:05:25] the city council to ratify the memorandum of agreement as presented. [01:05:28] And again, the funding for [01:05:29] this agenda item is available within the police department's budget. [01:05:33] Thank you. I'll open it up for public comment. [01:05:36] Seeing no one come forward, bring it back to council. [01:05:39] Approval. [01:05:41] Second. To the maker. [01:05:45] Hope they enjoy it. [01:05:46] To the second. [01:05:48] I'll get it. [01:05:49] Okay, in that case, all those in favor, [01:05:51] please signify by saying aye. [01:05:53] Aye. [01:05:54] Opposed, like sign. [01:05:56] Motion passes.

[01:05:57] Next is a request to participate in the Florida settlement with Walgreens pertaining [01:06:01] to the National Prescription Opiate Litigation MDL number 2804, Indy, Ohio. [01:06:10] This matter, Mr. [01:06:11] Mayor, members of the council, is a request for [01:06:14] you to authorize the city manager to execute the subdivision settlement, [01:06:20] participation agreement and release, and a settlement participation form. [01:06:27] And it relates to a settlement with Walgreens, which we were notified [01:06:34] about by the Florida Attorney General, that a settlement was established [01:06:42] in the amount of $683 million, and these funds are to be distributed [01:06:50] over an 18-year period of time. [01:06:53] The estimated payment amount to the city has not been released specifically yet [01:07:02] at this time. [01:07:02] We are told, though, to expect a payment this summer, and we are, by that time, [01:07:11] to have established a framework of a plan for the allocation and a use for [01:07:16] the settlement proceeds, and so we will begin working on that, so that when [01:07:20] that check is received, we'll have some plans for opiate remediation. [01:07:26] I'll open it up for public comment. [01:07:29] Seeing no one come forward, bring it back to council. [01:07:32] Move for approval. [01:07:34] Second. [01:07:34] To the maker. [01:07:35] I don't know why we wouldn't participate in it. [01:07:38] I think it would be negligent if we didn't, so. [01:07:42] Second. [01:07:42] Definitely necessary. [01:07:44] Mr. Allman. [01:07:45] No, sir. [01:07:46] In that case, all those in favor, please signify by saying aye. [01:07:50] Aye. [01:07:51] Opposed, like sign. [01:07:53] Motion passes. [01:07:55] Next is communications and reports.
