Dunedin l ove 4% -Negative 0% Neutral 22% Positive 78% During the month of July (1-13), discourse about hurricanes and tropical storms consisted of 1,413 interactions. This topic accounted for 10% of discourse and was the number one most discussed issue in the city.
It is noteworthy that most of the discourse about Hurricane Elsa (71%) was driven by the City's Official Facebook Account which acted as the central provider of information and updates about the storm.
Evident of the level of reliance shown by residents on the city information is the type of engagement expressed by residents: 240 "shares" and 497 " likes", accounting for 17% and 35% of the discourse, speak to the city's importance in keeping the community informed and in providing necessary information that is further disseminated by residents.
This, combined with the centrality of the city and Mayor (whose Facebook page was the secondary driver of storm discourse, 16%) in the hurricane-related discourse, indicates a high degree of trust towards the city's communication about storm preparedness and severe weather. This is reaffirmed by 11% positive sentiment, reflecting comments thanking the city for its updates. Notes of Encouragement To City Staff

Good morning,
I just wanted to take a minute to reach out and thank you. The new City public parking lot on Main Street at Louden in front of our building is beautiful . The restriping and new black fencing are very attractive, and it opens up the downtown traffic to the Scottish Cultural Center.
Our guests love it! From the parents who bring students for lessons each week, our guests who attend the weekly Scottish genealogy classes, to the attendees at our events. They have all commented on how nice it is to have so much available parking so nearby.
I want to personally thank Bob Ironsmith and Trevor Davis, who have been in constant communication with me on the updates to this initiative. I appreciate their efforts and offer any assistance from the Scottish American Society going forward so that we can ensure to continue to be good neighbors!
Sincerely, Alan McHale

Dear Jennifer
I hope all is well. I write once again to express our appreciation for Brian and his crew who take care of the fields at Fisher. Not only are the fields manicured and taken care of meticulously, but the channel of
31 1Page Citycommission.CMupdate.2021 August communication between them and us (hitting club) is superb. A perfect example once again informing us that the fields would be closed this Friday thru Sunday for maintenance and spraying . Truly just great representation for the City of Dunedin and how they care for their residents. Kudos to all of you for the great job you all do to make the city of Dunedin rise up and stand out.
With much appreciation Steve Karnbouris and guys Taxpayers city of Dunedin

Hello Mayor Julie, Do you know how great our water department is? I do. I bought a home in Dunedin 4 years ago and on Day 1 , I needed help from the wat er department with the reclaimed water. My i rrigation company representative advised me to call , and he told me if they could not get out to my house by the end of the day he would need to reschedule the service for a few days later. During my call to the water department, I explained what I needed and asked if there was any way someone could get out that day- I still remember her reply "Oh xx (forgot his name} is just grabbing his keys- he will be there in about 15 minutes". You should have seen the expression on the face of the irrigation company representative when that Dunedin truck pulled up 10 minutes later! And I still remember what he said "Lady, this doesn't happen anywhere else ! " But anywhere else is not Dunedin. I have needed help from the water dept maybe 3 or 4 other times- and every time, to a person- they are head spinning quick, proficient, professional, courteous, and pleasant. I am a snowbi rd and I am presentl y back i n Connecticut and today my Dunedin neighbor alerted me to a problem with my sprinklers that were running continuousl y; she suggested I get the r eclaimed water shut off until I can get someone to look at the sprinklers. Even though it was 4pm on a Saturday, I called the water department emergency number to explain what I needed. Within 30 minutes I had received a message from "Jamie" tell ing me he had been to my house, taken care of the problem, advised me to followup with my irrigation company and offered advice on what the problem l ikel y is and reminded me to call him back when it's taken care of and he will come back and turn the water back on. Do you know how great our water department is Mayor Julie? I do- it's one of the things that gives Dunedin that small town feel and I just wanted to make sure you know how much I appreciate it. Thanks to you, and our wonderful water department - especially "Jamie".

As a mother-in-law of a military personnel, I understand the sacrifices your son and your family have endured and I want to make this happen for you all .

I will keep you posted as things progress but feel free to call me if you don't hear from me by next Wednesday-

Fire Chief Jeff Parks,
Sunday July 25, 2021 , I was dining with my family at Bon Apetit near the Dunedin Dock area. It was brought to my attention that our pontoon boat had broken away from the floating dock and was being held by only one line. Luckily 3 of your paramedics, from truck #158 were nearby and helped tremendously to re-secure the vessel. I appreciate their prompt and courteous service and would recommend them all for an immediate pay raise. Thank you all for being in the right place at the right time to assist!

Fire Prevention Division: The Fire Prevention Division supported the Hometown 4th of July celebration at TD Stadium with fire inspections of the fireworks display and by providing an inspector during the event.
Fire Inspector Castillo and Milner attended a training class through Clearwater Fire and Clearwater Police department on "signs of human trafficking to look for during inspections." This class provided tips and guidance to fire inspectors on how to identify potential issues that should be reported to law enforcement. This is particularly important as fire inspectors have access to businesses throughout our community.
Fire Inspector Castillo participated in BayCare's "Camp Nurse Jr." where he taught hands on CPR, first aid and fire safety to 7th and 8th graders who were part of the program.
