“That is me. Thank you, Mayor. If you don't mind, it was kind of requested that I just briefly take a minute or two, just give a little quick kind of one-on-one overview. density pool density reserve pool where it came from how it started I would like to then move into kind of framing the opportunity and what I feel is a responsibility in front of us as a council as we we move forward with development on Clearwater Beach as specific to our hotel density reserve pool and Beach by design so bear with me and I'll be as quick quick and efficient as possible. Clearwater Beach Hotel Density Reserve…”

“Yeah, I appreciate the discussion. That's why it came up. I think it's important. I have talked to both developers of the projects on South Beach and the base of Sankey Bridge. There is a large number allocated there. There's no doubt from the developer at some point they will be using those and they will develop. Tell me if I'm wrong, please. As far as the other one, Mayor, I do believe from the direction I'm giving, we may see 100 units put back in. That puts us at that 100 range. Please, again, Tell me if I'm talking wrong, but this is the communications I've had leading up to today's…”

“I would agree with that. Is there something, any legal question that you see? If we were just taking a posture or a tone without trying to change a plan. We have that flexibility.”

“Chair Greg Musil No, that's it. Thank you. I think it's important because we could sit in this very place in two weeks and somebody's presenting, they want five, they want six, they want two, and I think us taking that tone and posture that we're recognizing the opportunity, the responsibility, let's get as much bang for the buck as we can in closing this chapter out and let's try to fill some of that vision gap that's missing. Thank you.”

“Okay, thank you. This is an important discussion. I think we all value all of us being a part of every business decision we make. I think there's balance here. It's recognizing the importance of us being present for these discussions, the opportunities for the public to be present, to see and hear. and be engaged. There's also a side where we set calendars and commitments for council schedules back in January we commit to. Staff works hard to build schedules and agendas around that commitment. They then communicate and work with our businesses, our investors, our developers, lawyers,…”

“I have a conflict. Okay. I leave that morning, Friday. Sorry. I mean, I can... But as I know, that doesn't work for my schedule. Mayor, may I? Yeah, sure. Or you can go ahead. No. Just a couple things. Councilwoman, I feel for your situation and recognize that it's not easy. And I don't envy the position that you're in. And I recognize the emotions attached to it and greatly respect it. With that being said, I don't want to come across as callous to kind of go backwards over what your ask was. And I'm sorry that you found discomfort in your original new business item when you said it. I…”

“do you would would you all like council to keep it on that date i guess would be the next question thank you um a couple things um i want us to make sure that we recognize the fact and no i'm not no disrespect at all. We need to recognize the fact that when we say outcomes are not altered by pushing business back a month, um, tell our Phillies that, I mean that, that pushed them back a month and we're not baseball ready for spring training. That's a, that's a massive problem. Tell staff that made plans to go visit their children. They took to college and now, All of a sudden, the schedule's…”

“Yeah, thank you, Mayor. I, too, will not be voting or participating. I, too, will follow the precedent of our other electeds, and we'll leave the room and let this dais handle their business. My potential conflict has been formally submitted to the Florida Ethics Commission, and we have not received an answer back from them. So once we do receive that, erring on the side of caution, I will not be participating.”

“Absolutely. Thank you, Mayor. Respectfully, this discussion's not about undoing an honor or trying to rewrite a legacy. It's an opportunity in front of us before we open our beautiful new city hall to elevate his legacy a bit. And William B. Horns, Impact on Clearwater for his 22 years extended well beyond just the walls of City Hall But throughout the entire community on Monday we had a pretty in-depth conversation in our work session in discussing several of the options and and it seemed like the dais was kind of leaning in the direction of naming the plaza or park after mr horn in an…”

“We were just locked in a hallway like we were misbehaved middle schoolers, so I get what you're saying about missing something. I think your point's been made. Your county RFN discussion will be added to the next agenda item. And you requested having a further discussion about both of you not being able to attend the September 14th meeting. I think we do as normal precedent, add this as new business, put it on the agenda. Let's have discussions with staff as we move forward over the next couple weeks and find what our options are and make a decision by then. I don't necessarily think we need…”
