1HILLSBOROUGH METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATIONVirtual Meeting of the Citizens Advisory CommitteeWednesday, August 12th, 2020I. CALL TO ORDER & INTRODUCTIONSBill Roberts called the virtual meeting to order at 9:01 a.m.After roll call by the Clerk, there was a quorum virtuallypresent of 13 board members.Virtual Members present: Bill Roberts, Ricardo Fernandez,Hoyt Prindle, III, Steven Hollenkamp, David Bailey, RickRichmond, Terrance Trott, Camilo Soto, Edward Mierzejewski,Christine Acosta, Vivienne Handy, Cliff Reiss, Luciano Prida,Nicole Rice, Amy Espinosa, Barbara Kennedy Gibson, Don Skelton,Jr.Members excused:Sky WhiteArtie Fryer, Nancy Castellano, Cheryl Thole,Others virtually present: Rich Clarendon, Beth Alden, AnnaQuinones, Margaret Kubilins, Justin Hall, Roger Roscoe, SandiBredahl, Slaoisi Fine, Vishaka Raman, Cheryl Wilkening, EdwardMcKinney, Michael Rempfer, Chris Vela, and Debbie GuestChair Roberts announced Dayna Lazarus is no longer on thecommittee anymore, thanked her for her service, and stated thatshe is now working with the MPO.II.CHAIRMAN'S REQUESTPer the MPOthe presidingconfine theirpersonalitiesBylaws, all speakers were asked to address onlyChair for recognition virtually by Chatbox, toremarks to the question under debate, and avoidor indecorous language or behavior.III. PUBLIC COMMENTChris Vela, Ybor City 33605, commented on VI(A) and stated heposted online some recommendations, that the biggest problemthat has been seen is that everybody freaks out when thehighways or interstate system projects are tied into local roadprojects. If they don't support the TIP with the interstate init, they cannot support constituents that are close to

2the highway system and recommended that the CAC separate any SISprojects, those that contain interstate projects, away from theseparate road projects. That way there is a clear decision,because, as the CAC knows and as is stated in their resolution,highways hurt communities of black and brown and otherminorities.The second issue Mr. Vela discussed is they have to remove anytype of negative racist structures in the community and stated,as an example, at the gates of the City of Tampa, the Columbusstatute. It was stated they need to look at not only VisionZero to reduce environmental impacts but also to identify thingsthat hurt culture and diversity in the neighborhood. Mr. Vela’slast comment was on CSX. Regarding that, one of the biggestproblems he sees is no countywide commissioner goes to EastTampa to talk about it. Everybody is all about having the fancytrains and having a number of stops, but there's no discussionin East Tampa or Ybor City, for that matter, about land use.IV. MEMBERS’ INTERESTSEd Mierzejewski mentioned that the last two weeks he's beenparticipating in the virtual ITE annual meeting and broughtforward a session he thought was extremely relevant, which isthe next item on the agenda. He called everyone's attention tothe City of Portland, which has created a Racial Equity Plan.Every one of their city departments has a component in it.Secondly, the City of New Orleans has a plan called Moving NewOrleans, The Road to Equitable Transportation. He pointed thoseout as being worth having staff look at to maybe apply toHillsborough County.Christina Acosta brought up that there are several roads thatare under interoperability agreements between the County andCity, and there seems to be a disagreement as to who ultimatelyhas decision power over Bayshore or Bay to Bay. It is herunderstanding, from sources at the City, that the legalinterpretation is not clear for citizens and requested thatsomeone from the MPO do an inquiry so the CAC may understand whoowns what and to whom citizens should make an appeal if theywant improvement or different use or to ask questions.Rich Clarendon stated that they can.David Bailey expressed that about a year or two ago there wasan SIS study on the TIP but then it was removed off the TIP, andit was supposed to be done on Balm Road and 301 out inRiverview. He inquired on how they would go about getting it

3back on the TIP. It's still a two-lane road, the high schoolwill be opening up this year, and something should be done, astudy, so that they can possibly get that road widened. Heasked for some guidance on how to go about getting thataccomplished. Chair Roberts clarified Mr. Bailey's request,stating Mr. Bailey would like staff to coordinate and bringforth an explanation of how they can get that project back ontothe TIP or some priority funding, and Mr. Bailey agreed.Chair Roberts brought forth that in the meeting with the MPOand the recommendations the CAC made, there were severalrecommendations in the TIP that had to do with various sectionsof the interstate. The two that seemed to draw the attention ofthe MPO Board members was the reconstruction of the interchangeand particularly the widening or the improvements of I-275 northof the interchange all the way up to Bearss Avenue.Chair Roberts asked for an agenda item on the next CAC meetingto further explore these because there was some seemingconfusion at the MPO area, and Secretary Gwen made a very good,succinct explanation of what those were. And because they wererecommendations made by the CAC to the MPO, Chair Roberts wouldlike to revisit this discussion and be sure they have clarity onit at the next meeting.V. APPROVAL OF MINUTESThere being no corrections or discussion on the Approval ofMeeting Summaries (June 10th meeting, June 23rd subcommittee andJuly 15th workshop), the Chair sought a motion to approve the summaries assubmitted, Rick Richmond so moved, Cliff Reiss seconded, and the motion carriedunanimously with 15 ayes and 0 nays by those virtually present.VI. ACTION ITEMSA. Resolution on Racial DiscriminationHoyt Prindle, CAC Subcommittee Chairman on RacialDiscrimination, informed the CAC that the subcommittee met andworked out the language at a public meeting, with at least onemember of the public participating, going line by line, word byword, trying to come up with language they thought wasappropriate for the scope of the resolution in this particularinstance.Mr. Prindle presented the resolution to the CAC and asked thatthe committee vote in full to approve the resolution as draftedand as approved by the subcommittee. Mr. Prindle also noted, inregards Mr. Vela's comments, that Mr. Vela raised some valid
