  38. Settlement of Jose Hernandez-Tejeda v. City of Tampa¸ Case No. 23-CA-009127 of $115k for an accident on Hillsborough Ave
  39. WAIT, WHAT? Just move $14 million dollars around in the FY25 budget? This should be done in a BUDGET meeting, not as part of an agenda with 87 items! PS. Please, for the love of God, do not rehash this AGAIN… twice was more than enough. But it shouldn’t be part of this agenda.
  40. TFR- Internal Audit for TFR Training Division. Christine Glover always has something interesting to say.
  41. Purchasing Department—Internal audit, OHHHH, Chief Bennett has asked that it be pulled from the consent agenda. This will be interesting.
  42. COT contract with Habitat for Humanity for $484k for construction and sales of Single family homes…why are they only building SFH? Why not duplexes? Missing middle?? If they don’t do this, maybe it is time to reevaluate.

  44. AIDS Housing Grant for $212k for 2025 budget, for 3 year term
  45. Purchase of 4213 W Virginia Ave for easement etc for wastewater
  46. 6601 S Manhattan COT giving People’s gas the right to install gas lines on this property. This could be wonderful for SOG, but not sure how much the People’s gas will spend to install from the line to people’s houses. Please NOTE the properties to the SOUTH of this easement are already on GAS. People’s GAS put in the line from the bay through McCoy to Manhattan, not sure why they need to put it in here but making profit… just sayin…
  47. Release of easement at 6111 Johns Road for water company
  48. Release of easement for the property at 4625 El Prado Blvd – why would the city only vacate 5’ of the alleyway in the MIDDLE of the block?? LOOK at the map in the file.

  56. $300k with West Florida Fence for replacement for the mobility department. Odd, that this one was re-bid but doesn’t show any increase in pricing?
  57. PUBLIC HEARING SET for 2713 Bayshore Blvd, November 14th at 501pm. I hope that they put a limited amount of cases that night and they make this first on the agenda…no one wants to be there until 4am!!
  58. Public Hearing- for a lease of property from COT to Tampa Park Plaza Playground 1314 Scott St for 25 years? What? Why? Here we go again, the CITY pimping out property for PARKING…have the neighborhoods been noticed on this project?????? Not just the CAC but the neighborhood??
  59. 2nd Hearing TA/CPA-- 2301, 2303, 2307 and 2315 North Florida Avenue, 204 and 206 East Amelia Avenue and 205, 207 and 209 East Columbus Drive

  70. Naming the plaza after Charlie Miranda between TMOB and Old City Hall.
  71. I am a NO on this one… letting staff spend $200k without council’s approval. Does that mean they will spend $198k on lawyers to investigate TCC members?
  72. Raising the threshold for professional services to $200k…see snarky comment above. Sorry, but sometimes there are things worth less than $200k that need TCC attention. NOPE, NOPE, Nopity NOPE!!
  73. Require the City to receive 3 bids on contracts over $5million. I wonder if there are actually 3 providers for all contracts that size for the COT
  74. It looks like getting rid of piggyback contracts.
  75. Administrative Update
  76. Wastewater Digestion System Expansion for $114 million
  77. Report from RE department of 5 acres or more for the maintenance yard for TFR and address staffing issues for Station 24.
  78. The additional traffic light at Franklin and Water Street at Greco Plaza. The Harbor Island folks do NOT like this plan. They feel that they have not been given an adequate voice in the process!! They only received 35 surveys out of 4000 residents on HI, how do you only get less than 1% of the community engaged? SMH It is AMAZING how communications can be AWESOME for things they WANT the community to know…and piss poor for the things they don’t want folks to know… see #58!!
  79. Parking Compliance in Ybor report from Land Development.
  80. Update on Land Development Code from Abbye Feely. The neighborhood leaders I spoke with had some questions after the meeting last Monday. I sent them to her on Friday. I haven’t heard back yet. I am happy to share them with TCC if you’d like.
  81. Update on the apprenticeship ordinance from 2021
  82. Update on Grand Cathedral and the status of the violations. ASKED for postponement…does that mean the work hasn’t been done or is in process?
  83. Continued for City Code for WMBE and SLBE contractors
  84. Staff report on Food Deserts, LILA is a fluff term that is deceptive.
  85. City’s workforce development strategy implementation plan for Good Jobs, Great Careers Collaborative Workforce Ecosystem Plan

  87. A map of alcoholic beverage permits, continued to November 7,2024 Thursday November 7th 2024 10/7/24
  88. Police officer of the month
  89. Firefighter of the quarter--- why do we NOT have firefighter of the month? This amplifies the inequity of treatment of TFR and TPD.
  90. Presentation about Tampa Bay Water
  91. Presentation of applicant for VRB board—Attorney position- Simone Savino—MORE IMPORTANTLY--- ALL four of the TCC nominated positions are VACANT—If you, neighborhood leaders are interested investing in our community for 6-8 hours a month, please reach out to your favorite City Council member and request an application. Especially if you’d like to learn more about land use.
  92. Agreement between COT and State of Florida and Homeland security (FEMA) for urban search and rescue funding.

  100. See item #12
  101. Modification of grant receipt from $331k to 291k from High Intensity Drug Trafficking award. I wonder why we lost the $40ishK in funding?
  102. See Item #14
  103. $336k transferred to and from the city as taxes then passed on to Hillsborough County Hotel Motel Association. It seems that the city is a passthrough on this situation, but when we hand funding off to secondary organizations, you’d think that there would be some sort of basic report submitted as to how they spent the funds last year? There is 1% pass through of fees on both sides? Very vague. I am sure someone could explain it. But it also seems that all these funds are collected from hotel/motel services only. What percentage of the overall taxes charged by the city is the $336k?
  104. Clean up 2501 W Carmen St by the City of Tampa
  105. Clean up of yard at (1) 9602 N 18th St, (2) 1412 E Seneca Ave, and (3) 111 W Keyes Ave by the City of Tampa

  116. Change order 2 final to GMP 4 LESS $218k of Channel District Improvements by Kimmins – It took a minute to figure out where this project price started- $13 million in 2018, 2019+ $371k, 2019 + $1.3 million, 2020 +$8.1 million, 2021+ $7.5 million, 2022 + $1.6 million…. So I think, if my math is right… $31.9 million project that started out as $13 million?? Wow… I hope like hell most of this money came from the Channelside CRA??? NOT the General FUND!
  117. Change order 1 for the Lower Peninsula Stormwater Improvements project- This is impressive, this is the first change order on the project that was approved in 2019, Kimmins has been working on it for nearly 5 years without any increases…yet item 29 kept growing and growing and growing to three times the original cost. (And it was priced out PRE-Covid!)
  118. Amendment to contract with J. Kokolakis Contracting for Solid Waste relocation- $332k for increasing the height of the parking garage floors from 10’ to 14’ (that’s really high clearance for a parking garage—and installing required restrooms for drivers/customers. It’s only going to cost $332k for these two items? I am SHOCKED!! THANK YOU for adding the amount of the original agreement to the coversheet!!! That’s very helpful!
  119. Agreement with USF for up to $250k in research and technical support by ANY department in the City of Tampa. Interesting… does this mean that TCC can request services from USF as well? WHY is this under infrastructure??
  120. A complete streets project partially funded by FDOT- $2.4 million for Floribraska from N Tampa St to 9th st. The COT saved 27% through the bid process on this project.
  121. Renewal of award for Pro-Serve without price increase for Pro Serv Industrial contractors for McKay Bay WTC grate work for $488k
  122. $130k for brass fittings for the water department, it looks like they only had one bid for this award. SAT industrial supplies.
  123. Sprinkler/Alarm system testing and repais for McKay Bay WTC for Solid Waste $136k
  124. Wastewater Collection system repair increase for $40k for Second Contracting Corporation. Nearly 26k lineal feet of wastewater pipe replacement… contracted total amount is $10.4 million.
  125. MSL P.Z. contract for External Auditing services for $206k for revenue and finance department. What kind of report/documents are created as part of this contract? Are they shared publicly? Are they shared with the Budget and Finance Committee? Just sayin…
  126. $70k for the City Council Racial Reconciliation facilitator professional services
  127. Settlement for Rufus M. Lewis, former TPD officer.
  128. Movement of $7.4 million to TPD and TFR funding for additional services. It actually appears that more funds for TFR than TPD. That’s surprising.
  129. Movement of funding for housing for persons with Aids, $861k over three years.
  130. Grant of easement for Humane Society at 3607 N Armenia for installation of water facilities by the COT.
  131. The purchase of the ROW by 1400 N 35th street by Waste Management to expand the recycling center that borders both side of the ROW. I was for it when it came before council. They are removing the bricks from the property and giving them back to the COT. I am excited to see that it actually brings in additional revenue as well! Great work! Maybe we could use it towards land that can be used for affordable housing.
  132. Replat of property located West of N 10th St & N 9th St I am not sure even with looking at the plat of the original address of the property?
  133. An Easement agreement between COT and Madison Highlands LLC for 5315 N 37th St Tampa FL, I believe this is for affordable housing.
  134. Ditch mowing services award to Merion Landscape Services LLC for $578k for central and south zones. The COT saved 66% through the bid process on this item.
  135. Tampa Spring co for suspension system repairs for $180k for 24 months for Logistics and Asset Management/fleet maintenance. There was only one bid for this contract.
  136. Osborn Associates contract without price escalation for $160k for traffic signs etc. for mobility department. They were the lowest bidder of 6 bids in 2023 by a couple hundred dollars.
  137. USA fence renewal with 3% CPI increase for pedestrian barricades by mobility department. $300k
  138. Contract with Geyen Group South without price increase, of $207k for carpet cleaning in City properties.
  139. Sunbelt Sod and grating contract for $400k worth of SOD installed! YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT GRASS!!! WASTE of $400k, spend a little more and put in Florida friendly ground cover that doesn’t require us to mow and maintenance it as expensively!
  140. Additional camera and video equipment for gathering data for the mobility department. From a $40k project to a $120k project. Although, I think more of this type of equipment is probably a good thing.
  141. Amendment to a grant agreement from FLDEP, not really sure what it is for, but it’s valued at $10k
  142. Petition for Review for 706 E Hugh St SU1-24-66 set hearing for 12/19/24

  151. See number 63
  152. Withdrawn review hearing
  153. Withdrawn review hearing
  154. 1st reading to repeal the Citizens Review Board for TPD. SMH…sad that Tally wants to be in “charge” of everything but we RARELY see the officials voted there to learn what their constituents want/need!
  155. Administration update
  156. Adding $6.5 million to meter/hydrant valve installation by Kimmins, it seems like this is on the agenda A LOT. Maybe it is just me.

    1. 10 minute presentation of study about integration of stormwater by city/county services.

The Google Earth on it has a large pond, how much of the lot is dry land? Is it big enough for the forensics lab/Police impound yard and then they could use the HIMES location for the TFR?? Just sayin…
    1. $698k for McKay Bay WTE plant agreement with Arcadis US for Engineer of Record responsibilities for the plant. 5 years with two year optional extension. I think this is the extension without escalation
    1. COT amendment with Medicare Advantage and Humana Insurance for local PPO plans
    1. NEOGOV service agreement for $73k for various departments for T&I
    1. Reissuance of Life Insurance for furnishing Long-Term Disability for HR for $857k for 5 year term.
    1. Movements of $9million within the FY2024 budget lines, Water, TPD and T&I are the primary departments. Budget & Finance say they are not amendments to the budget.
    1. $480k contract with VRC companies to handle offsite archives from the Clerks office for 3 years

    1. OMG, did the East Tampa CRA actually buy something?? It looks like 4703 N 19th St for $235k! How about that?!
    1. $305k for ditch maintenance this bid process saved the COT 12%, but why, why, why do we continue to plant GRASS in ditches?? Grass is the cheapest to install, but as with this bid, it is VERY expensive to maintain! When I first moved here, there were folks actually gardening in the ditch areas that they dug out during the press conference at Robinson High school!! Why not consider that sort of maintenance??
    1. Renewal of award to JNandal with 3% CPI increase of $720k for bring street and paver repairs.
    1. $275k transfer of funds within Parking for vehicles. It doesn’t say what kind of vehicles?
    1. Ordinance to prohibit smoking and vaping in city parks. 1st reading.
    1. Administrative Update
    1. Solid waste allocation agreement with J Kokolakis Contracting for $332k for the bathrooms at the WTE and the raising of the parking garage floors… I misread it last time, there is a $6.8 million initial agreement. Adding $332k to those funds.
    1. $6.4 million contract with Techstaff for administrative staffing services. This seems to be WAY OVER PRICED for a 2 year contract. The files attached have a list of COT positions they filled in the past two years. It has 36 employees. None appear to be leadership within the city, it doesn’t include the Police Chief, CRA director, or any of the other positions that are normally announced and/or confirmed by council. I haven’t looked but I’d be surprised if most of the positions even make $100k per year??? That means if they perform the same sort of service for this contract, the citizens of Tampa will be paying…. $177k for each employee placement??? Maybe I am missing something, please correct me if I am wrong, but that’s what the documentation leads me to believe.
    1. Change order 2 adding $6.5 million to the COT Dallas 1 Corporation for Meter, hydrant and valbe installation and replacement.
    1. Design Build for the South Howard Project--- ARE THEY REALLY READY TO APPROVE ANYTHING??? It is a HOT mess, Kimmins has 19 different alternatives for that project, they NEED to SHOW ALL the ideas and discuss with the neighborhoods and the engineers with the City and the Stormwater EXPERTS!! This contract is a disaster and WHY has it been sitting on the shelf since FY22 budget? It was approved the same year as the Macdill 48 project… There are more questions than answers and TCC should NOT vote on this until some of the answers have been given.
    1. See #59
    1. Approving $3.3 million for the Union Station Renovations.
    1. Change order 2 to Dallas 1 Corporation Water Utility Relocation adding $10.3 million to the contract that will bring it to total of $31 million. (THANK YOU for including that in the Coversheet!)
    1. Parking management system agreement with Mobility $3.7 million
    1. Station 24 and fire maintenance facility report. There is ABSOLUTELY a property for the TFR maintenance facility, it is the proposed property that they are pushing for TPD forensics lab. They have testified to council that the facility does NOT need the 7 acres of land. They are hogging up a piece of land that could and should be used for TFR. They are currently running the impound yard on just over an acre and the forensics lab could easily be placed on a separate lot or smaller location. It’s ridiculous that the city of Tampa is ignoring this round to kill two birds with one stone!
