Background

The FY2026 Adopted Budget included operating expenses to support the operation of the Tampa Historic Streetcar within the Tampa–Ybor Historic Electric Streetcar Special Services District.

This resolution primarily establishes the necessary budget authority to fund those overhead costs, net of personnel overages and additional advertising revenues.

Pursuant to Section 166.241(8)(a), under certain circumstances a local government within 60 days following the end of the fiscal year may amend a budget for that year.

Background

This resolution realigns expenditure appropriations in the amount of $200,000 for personnel costs within the General Fund.

Background

The City of Tampa provides wastewater collection services to customers both within the city and in surrounding areas outside the municipal limits. Recently enacted Chapter 2026 135, Laws of Florida, which takes effect July 1, 2027, amends section 180.191, Florida Statutes, and changes how municipalities may apply surcharges to customers located outside their boundaries. To ensure compliance with these new statutory requirements, and under the authority of Section 26 31 of the City of Tampa Code of Ordinances, the City has determined that updates to its wastewater monthly base charges and disposal rates are necessary.

Additionally, in 2019 the City conducted a comprehensive Rate Study to identify the funding needed to support implementation of the Wastewater Master Plan.

As of July 1, 2027, the City is unable to continue adding the 25% surcharge to the bills of non-City customers. The proposed wastewater disposal rates schedule increases City residents’ rates by 9% and decreases non-City customer rates by 16%. The proposed wastewater base charges schedule reduces the base charges for non-City customers so that non-City customers pay the same base charges as City customers. The recommended rate schedules will become effective on July 1, 2027. Failure to adopt the proposed wastewater disposal rate and base charges schedules will result in lost wastewater revenues of approximately $12 million annually.

Background

The Housing and Community Development (HCD) Department assists residents in locating affordable rental housing and connecting them with available housing resources. Currently, rental housing information is available through various sources. However, those sources are not always current, may not allow users to easily filter available units based on income eligibility or other housing considerations, and may include properties located outside the city limits of Tampa.

The proposed agreement with City Wise Software LLC will provide a web-based rental housing portal accessible through the City's HCD website. The portal will consolidate rental listings from multiple sources into one location and provide search tools to help residents identify available housing, including units that may be affordable to income-qualified households and households utilizing housing vouchers.

CityWise will host, maintain, support, and update the rental housing portal. The platform will provide direct links and contact information for available rental listings and will integrate with commonly used property-management systems to assist with keeping listing information current. CityWise will also review listings included on the site.

CityWise currently operates in more than 20 cities across the country, including St.

Petersburg, Florida, as well as other municipalities of comparable size.

The portal will serve as an additional resource for residents and HCD staff and is intended to improve access to rental housing information while reducing the time required to search multiple sources for available units.

There is no fiscal impact to the City associated with this agreement. CityWise will provide the platform at no licensing or subscription cost to the City.
