December 15, 2022

12/15/22

  1. ATU employee of the month

  2. Police officer of the month

  3. EDC annual report for 2022

  4. Administration Update

  5. CRA funding putting TECO lines underground—Why isn’t TECO paying for this? 6-7. SIRE- overhaul- for $900k, Sire users should be able to SEE what documents they have viewed already or not. Currently, if there are multiple documents, the links don’t change color when you have viewed them already! This would be particularly helpful because the names of the documents are rarely unique.

  6. Victim Liaison for TPD to start January 2023

  7. Parks and Rec Report on Henry and Ola Park – Report on Dog park etc, OSHNA folks notice this.

  8. Parks and Rec Report on Fencing for $250k to be divided between parks and rec and the CRA?

  9. Report on JOC- Job Order Contracting- construction services on a small scale through an RFP to provide construction services to provide include—Bike stand pads, concrete curb drops, pressure washing, pickle ball court installation.

  10. 30 year plan for the Incinerator plant- LORD! Just submit a damn timeline and be done with this!! SEE ITEM #45- interesting information attached to this item.

  11. Mobility to report on what to do about the traffic at Trader Joes on Dale Mabry?? Ba ha ha….TRUTH! This is the ONE and only store in town that does NOT have enough parking. Move it to ANY WALMART parking lot in town!!

  12. West Tampa Overlay report from Stephen Benson

  13. Affordable housing report- land purchasing process are out of whack for the city. It is my understanding that the city does it’s due diligence and THEN makes an offer. The rest of the world, makes an offer THEN does their due diligence. This causes the city to lose out on land purchase opportunities… I don’t know how true this is BUT, it came from someone I consider to be a reliable source.

  14. Discuss raises not being for the current council, but as it is for Congress- only applies for the NEXT administration. This is OK with me! TCC pay is currently $54k per year as a “part time position” The administration recommended a raise for TCC to a living wage- $73k per year. YES, that is steep, but at $54k per year TCC members who aren’t otherwise employed qualify for affordable housing. THE LACK OF LIVING WAGE MEANS WE ONLY GET TWO TYPES OF FOLKS RUNNING FOR COUNCIL--- INDEPENDENTLY WEALTHY OR THOSE WITH A PASSIVE INCOME. People should be able to pay their mortgage while serving the city! We all KNOW TCC isn’t really a part time job! I’ll share the file that shows they make about 1/3 of what most of the top staff of the city is making.

  15. Prohibiting organizations receiving City Funding from lobbying for 3rd parties? Not sure where this is coming from, but it could be interesting. Why would one organization lobby for another?

  16. Cemetery Protections- Identified cemeteries should be treated as such.

  17. Tenative Calendar for TCC January 2023- April 2024

  18. Forest Hills Park- renaming after Shirley Risler

  19. Ordinance prepared for process to name City roads, buildings, structures and property.

  20. Ordinance for claims and lawsuits settled by the City of Tampa

  21. Accepting Jesse Madsen Memorial Sculpture from the Rogai Family Foundation.

  22. TPD- uniform purchase renewal without price increase up to $240k. Do officers automatically get new? Just curious, as I see all the military folks issued TONS of things they may or may not ever use and don’t need to return…

  23. Parts for TPD helicopter without price increase up to $400k.

  24. Purchase STOP STICKS for TPD, $101k, tire deflation devices. Sole Source award.

  26. Parks and Rec Ground maintenance, $171k, the second bid was 4% higher, savings for the citizens

  27. $14k for coaching training for Parks and Rec

  28. This is confusing. It is for Wastewater Collection System repair, but it is a renewal that is the same price as the original contract? Does this mean they are repairing the exact same problem in 3 different locations or fixing the same problem multiple times on the same location?

  46. Demolition services in the amount of $230k. It doesn’t say where or what? 2 Myers Corp. It’s signed off on by Keith O’Connor, so I assume it has to do with neighborhood enforcement.

  58. Brownfield, 1000 w Fig St

  59. 2nd reading--- AB at 450 Channelside Dr

  60. Vacation of the Alleyway Chicago and Stroud--- Watch the 1st reading! TCC should DENY THIS REQUEST because the folks on Chicago need the alleyway to access the rear of their property!! They filed NUMEROUS complaints with Neighborhood enforcement about the neighbors on Stroud encroachment, but then they file to vacate it…. The CITY needs to open the alleyway. Neighborhood Enforcement did NOT do their jobs on this one!
