  12. Ordinance for naming of city of Tampa property
  13. Rental property certificate program- Not sure what this means? I need to read further. It looks like the repeal of the rental registration is being addressed in the code, appropriate amendments have been made for the change?

  18. Donation of 45 Ballistic Shields and LED lights valued at $95k from Rise Tampa our Police foundation.
  19. Soundoff light bars standardization, purchase $3.75million—It would seem that IF they currently have other equipment that they are using, there is no reason to replace it? If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. As the City has purchased many new vehicles over the past year, it would make more sense to leave the current vehicles with the current equipment until they are replaced?

  43. Salcines Park Improvements- Page 7 of the document says that the City expects to pay $100k on the Design and Pre-Construction services, yet the item on the agenda says $116k. A 16% increase???
  44. Wastewater Manhole Rehabilitation, increase of $335, for the contract with Structural Coating Services. There was a 2021 increase of $1.2 million. The 2019 Contract was $1.7million? Wh is this not put out for rebid?
  45. City Wide electrical services renewal- $2.2million, 6.4% increase, 2019- $910k, 2020-$2.2 million, 2021- $1 million, 22-$1.2 million (BUT went up and was approved for $2.2 million??) Starting on Page 34…why was this NOT REBID?? Sorry, when the contract nearly doubles in a one year period, it needs to be rebid to ensure the vendor is on point. ALSO, the vendor only had ONE excellent mark, the rest were only satisfactory?
  46. Original bid July 2020 savings of 21%, but this increase puts the original quote OVER the cost savings on the bid process. For 46th st, from Bush Blvd to Fowler

  82. Mayor’s Youth Corps and Teens Leading Change—reporting the differences between the two and the inequities between the two programs. (Personally, I think they should be merged and expectations that kids of all backgrounds be added to MYC, as these connections bring kids who come from impoverished areas learn about different aspects of government)

  84. Housing for citizens with disabilities counseling them for better housing choices/programs
  85. THAN has NOT met with the folks at ACCELA--- no one has invited us nor have we been contacted about this issue???
