ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA

COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR DEPARTMENTS

Airport

25-1263A

Second Amendment to the St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport

Airline Operating and Use Agreement.

Recommendation:

Approval of the Second Amendment to the St. Pete-Clearwater

International Airport (PIE) Airline Operating and Use Agreement.

The current Airline Operating and Use Agreement’s term expires

on September 30, 2025.

Allegiant and PIE are currently negotiating the next five-year

agreement, particularly the rates for rentals, fees, and charges.

The current agreement does not have a hold-over clause to allow

us additional time.

This amendment allows a hold-over time in case Allegiant still

occupies the space after the Agreement’s term expires, in which

all terms and conditions will continue to be in effect.

This amendment will also affect Sun Country Airline’s Airline

Operating and Use Agreement, since this is the master document

for both air carriers.

The First Amendment to the agreement was for 147 square feet

added to Allegiant’s storage area.

Revenue from this agreement is receipted to the Airport Revenue

and Operating Fund, included in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025

Amended Budget and the FY26 Proposed Budget, in the amount

of $2,571,510.00. Actual revenue in FY24 was $2,936,301.87.

Building and Development Review Services

25-1335A

First Amendment to the Interlocal Agreements addressing the collection

of multimodal impact fees.

Recommendation:

Approval of the first amendment to the current Interlocal Agreements

addressing the collection of multimodal impact fees.

The amendment is to comport with the requirements of House Bill

479 (impact fee collection).

Section 163.3180, Florida Statutes, was amended to require that

a county and municipality that charge a developer a development

or redevelopment transportation impact fee enter into an

interlocal agreement setting forth minimum standards to ensure a

development or redevelopment is not charged twice for the same

transportation capacity impacts.

Revising the current Interlocal Agreement will ensure compliance

with the amended state law requirement.

This amendment is specific to the six interlocal agreement with

communities (Belleair Shore, Belleair Beach, Indian Rocks

Beach, Kenneth City, Oldsmar and Safety Harbor) in which

Pinellas County Building and Development Review Services

serves as the Building Department for each of these

municipalities.

This amendment has no fiscal impact on Pinellas County.

25-1285A

Resolution relating to waiving double the normal building permit and

floodplain permit fees for storm reconstruction and repair.

Recommendation:

Approval to adopt a resolution waiving double the permit fee for building

permits and construction in a floodplain within the unincorporated

County and communities of Belleair Beach, Belleair Shore, Indian Rocks

Beach, Oldsmar, Kenneth City, and Safety Harbor, submitted from

September 19, 2025 through December 31, 2025, for after the fact

permits for work already commenced or completed on storm damaged

properties directly or indirectly, by Hurricane Helene or Hurricane Milton,

subject to the following conditions:

This waiver is applicable to after-the-fact permits for work to

demolish and repair storm damage.

This waiver is applicable to after-the-fact permits for work to

demolish a “substantially damaged” structure as that term is

defined in Section 158-182 of the Pinellas County Code.

This waiver is applicable to after-the-fact permits for work to

reconstruct, alter, or modify a structure that sustained such

damage to elevate that structure or otherwise bring it into

compliance with the County’s floodplain regulations and the

Florida Building Code.

This waiver is applicable to after-the-fact permits to repair a

manufactured/mobile home that sustained damage and is

required to obtain a Construction in a Floodplain permit in

compliance with the County’s floodplain regulations.

This waiver is not applicable to after-the-fact permits for

accessory outdoor amenities including, but not limited to a

swimming pool, driveway, patio, screen cage, and shed.

This waiver is not applicable to after-the-fact permits for new

construction unrelated to storm damage.

This waiver will expire on December 31, 2025.

While the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 Adopted and the FY26 Proposed

Budgets of the Building Services Fund in the Building and

Development Review Services Department included revenues

associated with “double the permit fee” associated with

after-the-fact permits; neither budget anticipated an increase due

to after-the-fact permits related to storm damage (estimated at

$1.9M). Therefore, waiving this doubling of fees will have no

fiscal impact in either year. The full permit fee will be collected to

fund the work that will be done.

Pinellas County has been awarded $813M in federal funds

through the CDBG-DR, which are designated specifically to

address critical unmet needs that have not been fully covered by

other federal assistance programs, such as Federal Emergency

Management Agency.

The required Action Plan was approved by the U.S. Department

of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) on June 30, 2025,

County-owned medians by replacing the existing

high-maintenance plants with low-maintenance, Florida-friendly

alternatives. Depending on the extent of replanting achieved

through this initial grant, the nonprofit may later request an

additional grant to fund plant purchases.

KTVB is a private, non-profit organization for the purpose

conserving and beautifying the natural and man-made

environment in and around the Tierra Verde, Florida area by

means of community engagement and education with hopes to

one day join the Keep America Beautiful organization.

Grant funds will be advanced to the applicant upon execution of

the attached Funding Agreement.

on-premises data storage solutions and services.

Recommendation:

Approval of the resolution and purchase authorization with Hewlett

Packard Enterprise Company (HPE) for technology hardware, storage

This agreement achieves a BTS strategic goal of shifting away

from managing long-term capital associated with traditional data

center management and moving to a cloud-first approach for

delivering IT services.

This agreement with HPE will provide a managed lease of

cloud-enabled datacenter equipment rather than managing

capital costs associated with traditional IT infrastructure services.

The solution will allow BTS to phase out on-premises

infrastructure, reduce maintenance costs, and shift budget dollars

and resources to a hybrid/cloud-first model-projected to save

approximately $750,000.00 annually over the term of the

agreement.

E&I Cooperative Services is a non-profit corporation, not a

governmental entity whose cooperative purchasing procedures

and resulting contracts are satisfactory and beneficial to the

County and meet the expectations of existing County competitive

imposed by the State.

Forward Pinellas and Pinellas County Housing and Community

Development have been working on an update to the Pinellas

County Multimodal Impact Fee Ordinance since summer of 2024.

Last session, the Florida State Legislature passed CS/HB 479

requiring an interlocal agreement be executed by October 1,

2025, where a county and municipality charge a mobility impact

fee to coordinate the mitigation of their respective transportation

impacts to ensure any new development or redevelopment is not

charged twice for the same impacts.

This interlocal agreement memorializes the existing procedures

for the assessment, collection, and expenditure of the multimodal

impact fees to comply with CS/HB 479 while the update is being

finalized.

If an interlocal agreement is not executed, the fee charged to a

new development or redevelopment shall be based on the

transportation capacity impacts apportioned to the county and

municipality as identified in the developer’s traffic impact study or

the mobility plan adopted by the county or municipality.

There is no fiscal impact to the current Fiscal Year (FY) 2025

Budget or the FY26 Proposed Budget.

Public Hearing Procedures

The procedure used by the Board in conducting Public Hearings is to have a staff presentation followed by the

applicant presenting the specific proposal. The Board will then hear comments from the proponents, the

opponents and a staff summary. The applicant will then be given an opportunity to close and the Board will

decide on the matter. Public Hearings before the Board are governed by the provisions of Section 134 -14 of

the Pinellas County Land Development Code as may be modified by Pinellas County Emergency Order. That

code provides that at the conclusion of each person’s presentation, any speaker may seek the Chairman’s

permission to ask questions of staff.

Specifically:

1. At the conclusion of the presentations by the applicant and any proponents, all affected parties may

seek the Chairman’s permission to ask questions of or seek clarification from the applicant and/or the

proponents.

2. At the conclusion of the presentation by the opponents, all affected parties may seek the Chairman’s

permission to ask questions of or seek clarification from any opponent.

The applicant’s closing comments will address testimony subsequent to his or her presentation. Continuing

rebuttal of other than directly preceding testimony will not be allowed. Because much testimony has already

been submitted in writing, the following guidelines accommodate efficient presentations:

1. The applicant should present his or her entire case, including rebuttal, in no more than 20 minutes.

2. Persons wishing to speak regarding a Public Hearing item may speak for up to three minutes each.

3. Persons wishing to attend virtually must preregister at https://comment.pinellas.gov by 5 p. m. the day

before the meeting.
