Declare surplus and authorize the sale of County-owned equipment and

vehicles.

Recommendation:

Declare surplus and authorize auction sales of equipment and vehicles

on the attached lists. Approve distribution of the proceeds from the sale

of vehicles and equipment sold to the funds from which the assets were

purchased, typically the Fleet Vehicle Replacement or a specific

enterprise fund.

This action declares the listed items as surplus and authorizes

their sale via auction to the highest bidder.

The usefulness of the identified equipment and vehicles has been

exhausted.

Breakdown of assets for disposal as follows:

a.) 13 Utility Carts

b.) 2 Sedans/SUVs/Vans

c.) 2 Light Duty Trucks

d.) 5 Medium Duty Truck

e.) 5 Heavy Duty Trucks

f.) 14 Mowers

Funding for this revenue is included in the Fiscal Year 2026 Budget.

Due to the nature of the auction process, the revenue generated cannot

be estimated in advance. However, proceeds from the sale of vehicles

and miscellaneous equipment will be returned to the originating fund,

with proceeds designated to the Fleet Vehicle Replacement Fund

serving to offset future vehicle replacement costs.

Airport

26-0511A

Project application to the Federal Aviation Administration and delegation

of authority to accept Federal Aviation Administration Fiscal Year 2026

Funds - Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Airport Infrastructure

Grant - St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport.

Recommendation:

Approval of a Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 project application to request

$4,906,084.00 from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under the

Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) Airport Infrastructure Grant

program.

This grant will enable St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport

(PIE) to fund ongoing pre-construction design activities for the

passenger terminal improvement project.

This grant will likely pay for a portion of 80% of the terminal’s

eligible spaces since the FAA does not fund all terminal

construction. The local share would be the remaining 20% of the

FAA-determined non-eligible spaces.

It is uncertain exactly when the grant agreement will be forwarded

to the County for signature by the Chairman and County Attorney.

The grant will be electronically mailed to the Chairman for

electronic signature and then the County Attorney. PIE will not

have a copy of the grant prior to the grant being emailed. It is

customary that the FAA provides PIE with no advance notice and

only a few days to execute the grant and obligate the funding.

Because the grant agreement needs to be signed when it is

received by the FAA, we request the Board of County

Commissioners delegate authority to Chairman Eggers to sign

the grant at the point in time when approving this grant

application.

This request is budgeted for in the Fiscal Year 2026 Budget of

PIE in the Airport Revenue and Operating Fund (New Passenger

Terminal Improvements Project 003343A). In the event that future

fiscal year funding is not available for this project, the County

maintains the authority to terminate this agreement.

Reimbursement payment to the U.S. Department of the Treasury for

funds disbursed through the Emergency Rental Assistance program.

Recommendation:

Approval of a reimbursement payment to the U.S. Department of the

Treasury (Treasury) for funds disbursed through the Emergency Rental

Assistance (ERA) program.

Treasury notified the County in October of a compliance

monitoring desk review of the ERA2 grant. On January 23, 2026,

a monitoring letter was issued stating the County is responsible

for remitting the $238,140.00 to the Treasury according to the

Treasury Office of Inspector General Joint Notice dated October

4, 2024.

The funds were disbursed through the ERA program to 11 cases

that were subsequently identified as fraudulent applications by

County investigation. The Clerk Office of Inspector General

reported the case to local and federal law enforcement agencies.

A request to reclassify non-federal County funds previously spent

for ERA eligible activities to offset the ERA funds was denied by

Treasury.

The County received $45.8M of federal funding through the ERA

program (ERA1 $19.3M and ERA2 $21.5M) to support housing

stability during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Between January 2021 and December 2022, a total of 5,692

applications were approved and $40.6M disbursed in housing

assistance payments.

The payment to the U.S. Treasury Department will be made from

the current budget appropriation within General Government in

the General Fund. No budget amendment is required.

Recommendation:

Approval of the 2026-2027 City/County Opioid Abatement Fund Priority

and Families.

The Priority List is aligned with the Florida Opioid Allocation and

Statewide Response Agreement with the Florida Attorney General,

Establishing a Priority List annually is a requirement of the Florida

Plan to receive City/County Opioid Abatement Funding. In

Approved Uses of the Florida Plan, the County has identified the

following Priority List for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-2027:

City/County Opioid Abatement Funding supports the expansion of

the Pinellas Matters Hospital Bridge Program, including a

program manager hired to oversee the program, recovery support

services through agreements with Operation PAR, Inc. and

Team, which provides medical direction and consultation services

through an agreement with Pre-Hospital Medicine Consultants,

Inc.

Board (OAFAB) 2026-2027 Priority List (Priority List) for submission to

the Florida Department for Children and Families in compliance with the

Interlocal Agreement Governing Use of Pinellas County Regional Opioid

OAFAB has identified the following Priority List:

1.) Community/Strategic Planning-Leadership, Planning &

Coordination

2.) Evidenced Based Data Collection and Research Analyzing

the Effectiveness of the Abatement Strategies within the

State

3.) Expansion of Warm Hand-Off Programs and Recovery

Services

4.) Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) Distribution and

6.) Expanding Treatment for Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome

These OAFAB Priorities and the recommended project are

aligned with the Approved Uses and Core Strategies under the

Florida Plan.

On February 26, 2026, OAFAB approved funding Operation PAR,

Inc, the highest-ranking applicant under the Treatment and

Recovery Services Solicitation, for a Behavioral Health Urgent

Care Center that will provide same-day, walk-in behavioral health

services, primary healthcare, MAT satellite services, and

residential services for pregnant and post-partum women and

their children, including those with substance use-related

26-0135A

Renewal of the Behavioral Health Receiving System Plan and

Behavioral Health Transportation Plan to support and facilitate access to

the behavioral health receiving system for mental health and substance

use.

Recommendation:

Approval of the 2026-2029 Behavioral Health Receiving System Plan

(Receiving System Plan) and 2026-2029 Behavioral Health

Transportation Plan (Transportation Plan).

Board approval will renew the Receiving System Plan and

Transportation Plan through 2029, ensuring compliance with

statutory requirements. The Receiving System Plan defines the

county’s Designated Behavioral Health Receiving System

(Receiving System), a tiered “No Wrong Door” model that

ensures access to care regardless of entry point. The

Transportation Plan outlines how the community facilitates

access to the Receiving System. Including criteria for selecting

transportation methods (e.g., law enforcement or emergency

medical services), procedures for transfers between participating

facilities, and respect for client choice of service providers.

Updates include reorganizing the Receiving System Plan by

service category, refreshing provider information, and integrating

evidence-informed practices. The Transportation Plan now

includes updated definitions, statutory alignment, provider

updates, and new sections addressing client choice, medical

emergency department transfers, and special populations (e.g.,

veterans, adults 65+, youth). The current Transportation Plan and

Receiving System Plan must be renewed by May 23, 2026.

The Board previously approved related plans in 2020 (file 20-

780A) and 2023 (file 23-0730A).

Consistent with Chapter 394 and 397, Florida Statutes, the

Receiving System Plan and Transportation Plan were developed

by the Pinellas County Acute Care Committee led by Central

Florida Behavioral Health Network. These plans must be

renewed every three years under legislative requirements

(§394.493 and §394.4573).

There is no fiscal impact.

26-0598A

Renewal of the extension of signature authority and Certificate of

Participation for the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant

Countywide.

Recommendation:

Approval of the letter documenting the extension of signature authority

to the County Administrator for the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice

Assistance Grant Countywide (JAG-C) award agreements and the

approval and delegation of authority to the Board of County

Commissioners Chairman to sign the Certificate of Participation for the

Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2025 JAG-C grant solicitation.

JAG-C is annual recurring funding that is distributed to law

enforcement and community agencies for crime prevention.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) requires an

updated letter extending signature authority to the County

Administrator to replace the previously signed letter due to the

change in Chairmanship in January 2026.

The original letter was approved and signed by the previous Chair

on June 24, 2025, file number 25-0953A.

This item also includes approval and delegation of authority to

the Chair to execute the Certificate of Participation for the

upcoming FFY25 JAG-C solicitation, once funding is released.

The Certificate of Participation serves as notification to FDLE that

the County intends to apply for the funding allocation and

designates Human Services as the coordinating agency for the

grant.

As the Statewide Administering Agency, FDLE requires the Board

to execute a Certificate of Participation prior to the application

process. The Certificate of Participation is within the delegated

authority of the County Administrator to approve grant

applications; however, FDLE requires signature by the Board

Chair as the authorized individual for Pinellas County.

Execution of the Certificate of Participation is often due to FDLE

less than 30 days after the grant solicitation notification.

Delegating the signature authority in advance of the solicitation

notification is necessary to allow the timely execution of the

document within FDLE’s critical timeline.

Approval of this report has no fiscal impact.

by County Deed, recorded in OR Book 23413, Page 2603,

leaving the remaining east 28 feet of the parent parcel as a

separate County fee-owned parcel.

Dedication as right-of-way is consistent with the existing and

future use of the property retained by the County.

This resolution has no fiscal impact on Pinellas County.

Board’s records and record the resolution in the official records of

Pinellas County.

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.

12:30 P.M., and the remainder of the meeting will continue at 12:30 P.M.

If a Board meeting beginning at 2:00 P.M. has not concluded by 5:30 P.M., a recess will be taken from 5:30 to
