We'll recess the CRA meeting. We will call the order of the work session of Clearwater City Council. And we'll move to item 2.1 on the agenda, which is September Service Awards. And we have one of them here. We have three we were going to present today. Five-year employee Matthew Gresh from Public Communications is unfortunately not able to make it here today, but we will present his letter of appreciation and cup to him. Jeff Cater, 15-year employee from Utility Customer Service, also could not make it today, but we will present his letter to him as well. But we do have our 20-year employee, Andrew Descartes from CGS Energy. Andrew, would you please come up? Thank you. And the city manager has something very nice to say about you and your service. Andrew began his career with the city of Clearwater on September 5th of 2006 as a gas technician 1 in the installation section serving northern Pasco County area of CGS. In 2007, he transferred to the propane gas section as a propane delivery driver, continuing to build his technical knowledge and skills. He was promoted to gas technician 3 in 2011, where he established natural gas service for residential and commercial customers while specializing in diagnosing and repairing customer- owned gas appliances. Andrew has been recognized for his commitment to teamwork and exceptional service throughout his career. In 2013, he was part of a team nominated for the City's Team of the Year Award after completing an overnight natural gas co …

Specifically, I'm aware that a process of first come, first serve was allegedly implemented back in June, but that hasn't happened, and it certainly did not happen in the last City Council meeting. Since this council seems to have three members who've been enjoying handing over what's left of our available public property within our CRA, I imagine that there's going to be a lot more meetings that are going to draw passionate crowds. So I'm just urging you to please come up with a process that would work and allow all citizens of Clearwater to engage in the democratic process that's available to us. I did want to state that Sarah Heller very kindly reached out to my friend and I outside. She's from the Church of Scientology. …

>> This time we'll call the The September 16, 2026, meeting of the Clearwater City Council. If you wish to address the council tonight, please conclude complete a comment card. Comment cards are located by the clerk seated to the right of the dais. When called to speak, please hand your card to the clerk. And we may have some folks tonight who have not spoken before at a public meeting. And this meeting, I just wanted to remind all those present of our council rules of conduct for our council meetings. Rule 15 says that any comments that public wants to make tonight, when you have your opportunity here at the podium, that those comments are to be directed toward the mayor and the council as a collegial body. So, there's sometimes a tendency for folks to speak to others up here on the council individually sometimes, or on the dais. Sometimes there's tendency to turn around and address someone else behind them. If you're at the dais tonight in your public comments, please direct your comments to the council. With that, we'll move to item two on our agenda. And tonight, the invocation will be given by Bruce Rector, Mayor of the city of Clearwater. And as you could all remain standing for that, I will stay at the microphone for the pledge, and then we will lead you in the Pledge of Allegiance. So. So please rise for the invocation. Our Heavenly Father, we come to unite with a great sense of gratitude for the people who call this great city home. Thank you for the opportunity for …

This committee is tasked with some very important work. Because of the professional work each of the committee members do, we are all obliged to be very aware of the issue of housing affordability. Plain and simple, we need more housing that is affordable to our citizens, and unfortunately, there are a lot of reasons why capable developers choose not to build it. The job of this committee is to identify strategies that reduce barriers to development of affordable housing and strategies that incentivize the development of affordable housing.

[Music] [Applause] Hi everyone, my name is Sydney Tinleen and I'm one of the Clearwater Sisters of the Young Ambassadors. First I want to say a huge thank you to City Council for the scholarship. It was honestly a life-changing trip. So for my first trip, so for the first week we went to Tokyo Osaka, Kyoto, Hiroshima, Nara, and Hiogo. We got to see so much. In Tokyo we saw the Skytree and City View from really high up, which was crazy because the city goes on forever. In Nara we saw temples, deer, and shrines. And in Hiroshima we saw the Peace Memorial. I also got to do some Japanese calligraphy on a wooden board. It's harder than it looks. One of my favorite parts of going to Japan was going to S ucker, go to junior high school for two full days. School in Japan is really different from here. They have to take their shoes off when they go in and students clean the school themselves. And they even eat lunch in their classrooms. Everyone was so welcoming. I was a little nervous at first because of the language barrier, but all we needed was Google Translate and hand motions and we were laughing the whole time. For the second part of my homestay trip, I stayed with She ena Takayama. She actually stayed with my family in Clear water first and then I went to stay with her family in Nag ano. It was really cool to see her again in Japan. Her family was amazing. They took me everywhere. In Nagano there are huge mountains with snow on top even in the summer. We did so many fun activi …
