There are three aspects a healthcare consumer should be focused on when seeking a physician.

1. WHAT IS THE EMPHASIS OF THE PRACTICE?

Ninety percent of health care providers are what’s known as relief care providers. That means they only treat the patient when they are in pain and want relief. The patient utilizes the relief care when needed and only until the pain goes away, much like taking an I do not use drugs to treat my patients. I believe in a Colette Cseszko, D.C. aspirin.

As 2020 begins, the city continues to be debt-free, and has not raised the millage rate on citizens for over 13 years. In 2020 the city of Seminole has plans to redevelop Blossom Lake Park, a wonderful neighborhood “pocket park,” and will be initiating the next phase of Waterfront Park on Park Boulevard, including building a boardwalk along the bayou. State grants have been helpful with the funding. The Seminole Public Works Complex along 70th Avenue oversees all infrastructure projects, and the state-of-the-art Emergency Operation Center is ready for action if needed. Our future holds in store the addition of a fi fth fi re station, to be located at Bay Pines. We hope to add three fi re lieutenants and a district chief for EMS. At last, improvements to Johnson Boulevard and Liberty Lane are on the drawing board. Updating city signage is also being planned. The Recreation Complex will be under a redesign and rebuild. Of great importance to the city of Seminole is the recent completion of a seven-year pavement plan along with a fi nancial plan suffi cient to implement the Pavement Management Plan without raising taxes. City-wide road and resurfacing projects are part of this pavement plan. We will strive to keep the comfortable quality of life in Seminole by maintaining our parks and green space; strive for continued low crime, and recognize and appreciate our three highly-regarded elementary schools, numerous churches, veterans’ posts, and civic clubs. The strong relationship between the city, the Seminole Chamber of Commerce, and the St. Petersburg College-Seminole campus, as well as the Seminole Historical Museum, a gem in our community, will continue to add to the diverse and interesting fabric of a thriving Seminole. Throughout 2020, city management and offi cials will continue to facilitate the annual Citizens Academy and the Hurricane Preparedness Symposium. In 2020, numerous fun and exciting events will be scheduled at the Library and Recreation Complex. The improved Teen Room and the fi rst city Recreation Digital Art Studio in the state (maybe the nation), will continue to be popular destinations. The elected city leaders will continue to be active members of the Suncoast League of Cities, the Florida League of Cities, the Pinellas County Council of Mayors and the Florida League of Mayors. All members of the City Council will remain vigilant in protecting “Home Rule,” helping to remind the 2020 Florida Legislature that “Local decisions are best made locally,” and not by legislators who do not live in Seminole. City management will continue to be active with the Florida City County Management Association. The city of Seminole received the Government Finance Offi cer Association’s Certifi cate of Achievement for Financial Reporting for the 20th consecutive year, as well as the Government Finance Offi cer Association’s Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for the 12th Progression of a family’s winter break consecutive year. Recent CPA audits reveal positive processes and appropriate and healthy fund balances over the years.
