    [00:00:43] We have two items on the agenda tonight. [00:00:45] The first is Resolution 2018-15. [00:00:48] Resolution 2018-15, a resolution of the City Council of the City of New Port Richey, Florida, [00:00:55] including Resolution 2018-13, which established the tentative millage rate for inclusion on [00:01:01] the Pasco County Trim Notice. [00:01:03] Ms. Manz, would you care to explain why we're doing this again? [00:01:07] Sure, Mr. Mayor. [00:01:09] Our first public hearing was scheduled for Tuesday, September 4th, 2018. [00:01:15] Since that time, the staff was notified by Pasco County that they had rescheduled their [00:01:19] public hearing date to that day, and that caused a direct conflict with our September [00:01:26] 4th date. [00:01:27] Therefore, our request this evening is to call a public hearing for Thursday, September [00:01:33] 6th, commencing at 5 o'clock p.m., to adopt the tentative millage rate and conduct our [00:01:42] first public hearing on the budget. [00:01:44] Thank you. [00:01:45] I'll open it up for public comment. [00:01:47] Seeing no one coming forward, I'll bring it back to Council. [00:01:51] I'll move approval. [00:01:52] I'll second it. [00:01:53] To the maker? [00:01:54] To the second? [00:01:55] Good deal. [00:01:56] You all know it's tentative, right? [00:01:57] And we're going to try to get it as low as we can. [00:02:01] No comment. [00:02:02] In that case, if there's no further discussion, all those in favor, please signify by saying [00:02:06] aye. [00:02:07] Aye. [00:02:08] Aye. [00:02:09] Aye. [00:02:10] Opposed? [00:02:11] Like sign? [00:02:12] Motion passes.

    [00:02:13] Next is the Alcoholic Beverage Special Event Permit. [00:02:14] Mr. Mayor, the special event application before you this evening was submitted by the Iona [00:02:25] Foundation Corporation, and the principal members of that corporation are associated [00:02:33] with the Dulcet Restaurant. [00:02:36] They are requesting to conduct a Caribbean festival in Sims Park, which would include [00:02:41] the sale of beer and wine on Saturday, August 25, 2018, from 12 o'clock p.m. until 11 o'clock [00:02:52] p.m. [00:02:53] They are also planning to conduct a short parade from the north parking lot in Sims [00:02:59] around the lake and disbanding on Bank Street. [00:03:03] The special events team considered this application at their meeting on July 17, and we're recommending [00:03:10] that you consider approval of the Alcoholic Beverage Special Event Permit. [00:03:15] I'll open it up for public comment. [00:03:19] Seeing no one come forward, I'll bring it back to Council. [00:03:22] Just a comment. [00:03:23] They're going to do a parade just around Orange Lake? [00:03:26] That is their proposed plan, yes it is. [00:03:30] It's their event. [00:03:31] Do you think that would kind of take away from parking? [00:03:34] They're starting in the parking lot at Sims Park and going around Orange Lake, finishing [00:03:36] on Bank Street in that parking lot. [00:03:39] They didn't do it last year, right? [00:03:40] The parade was just a festival? [00:03:42] This is the third year in a row that they have hosted an event, and it has not included [00:03:47] a parade in previous years. [00:03:49] I guess we'll play this one by ear, see how the parade kind of plays out. [00:03:53] To me it's kind of pointless to do a parade around Orange Lake, but it's not my event, [00:03:56] so we'll see how it works. [00:04:02] I'll move approval then. [00:04:03] Second. [00:04:04] Do we have a motion and a second? [00:04:05] Second. [00:04:06] To the Mayor? [00:04:07] No, I think Caribbean and dancing in the streets probably go hand in hand, so we'll find out [00:04:13] how it works. [00:04:14] To the second? [00:04:15] No further comments. [00:04:16] No comment. [00:04:17] To the City Attorney, it was pointed out to me by somebody that dropped by my office today [00:04:24] that the documentation submitted includes an application for EIM, but specifically not [00:04:32] a certification of their 501c3. [00:04:35] Do we have a problem? [00:04:36] No, I don't think so. [00:04:38] But we will be requesting that documentation, we noted that as well, Mr. Mayor. [00:04:43] Because it's specifically, the IRS specifically said about recognizing that they were planning [00:04:48] to apply for it, so. [00:04:50] Okay, if there's no further discussion, all those in favor please signify by saying aye. [00:04:54] Aye. [00:04:55] Opposed, like sign. [00:04:57] Motion passes.
