PSI Meeting Minutes March 28, 2013 Page given. Mr. Winn shared that they have been working on it and he would be glad to come back and do a more comprehensive report; stated that it is a complex project and referenced an issue involving Safety Harbor who is attempting to do exactly what was discussed by the City and they are now having an issue with the Feds relating to social services agencies and how the Feds would not let them proceed. A date of April 25, 2013 was set for the Special Exception report to the PSI Committee. Committee Member Newton inquired about when the Mobile Food Trucks were coming back; because they have had several charrettes and nothing has been done. Mr. Winn commented briefly on the issue that the original Food Truck representatives went away and they are now communicating with new folks so he can t really tell the Committee what the status is currently. Committee Member Newton commented that he knows of two cities that are up and running one in Boston and one in Atlanta and he can get the information on their operation, if needed. Chair Dudley responded that Mr. Goodwin indicated that he would provide a status report on May 23, 2013. Committee Member Newton stated briefly that since there are two models out there that are up and running suggested that Administration take a look and see if there is something that could be considered and perhaps implemented instead of wasting time meeting with nothing being accomplished. Mr. Winn commented that as soon as he could get the information to him that he would have it distributed. Committee Member Nurse requested that # 8, relating to recycling of demolition-related construction debris be removed from the list. Council Member Kennedy, who is not on the Committee, requested to see a return date on #1 relating to Public Safety. Chair Dudley shared that he will contact Chief Harmon to take care of that item. Vice Chair Danner inquired if the Committee could get a status report before # 8 is removed from the list; suggested that Mr. Connors provide them with information on how the current recycling program is operating. Committee Member Nurse inquired if there needed to be an ordinance change for the Certificate of Inspection Program or elimination of the rental program. It was stated that if the program was adopted by ordinance, it would take an ordinance to remove it. Committee Member Nurse shared that he would like to start that conversation because it is currently not working and we don t have enough staff to do the program justice. Mr. Dickerson stated that he would report back to the Committee on this item. Committee Member Newton inquired about the downtown Intermodal Study and whether or not they would be able to get an update. Vice Chair Danner commented that he could give a two minute update. He stated that they removed all of the glass from the shelters; due to lack of visibility and the illegal activity. The passengers revealed that they have started to use the shelters because you can see through them; they are changing the lighting in all of the shelters with brighter lights that are more efficient; along with considering new pavilions and there is the possibility of some routes being changed after the study is completed. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 9:50 a.m.
