Agreement with Oracle America, Inc. for Oracle support services.  
Approval of the Agreement with Oracle America, Inc. for Oracle support services.  
Recommendation:  
* This agreement provides for the continued maintenance and support services of  
County owned Oracle software license entitlements. Entitlements are utilized to support  
many critical County business processes including the Oracle Project Unified Solution  
system which is the County's Enterprise Resource Planning solution for administrative

* Per Resolution 09-119, the County is authorized to engage in direct negotiations with  
Oracle relating to the acquisition of software licenses and maintenance agreements.  
* This agreement will replace the prior agreement (090-0173-M). Pricing reflects a 4%  
increase from last year's renewal. Through negotiations, Oracle responded with an  
inflationary structure that provided for a Year 1, 4% increase over the prior renewal  
costs, and a 2% cap to renewal periods two through five. In comparison to the impact of  
an 8% year over year increase, this negotiation cost avoided the County an estimated  
$477,550.  
* This contract has a total not to exceed amount of $1,455,398.88 for a twelve-month  
term. Funding is from Business Technology Services (BTS) Enterprise Business Suite  
(EBS-OPUS) Operating Budget.  
* This contract may be renewed for four additional twelve-month periods. Annual  
renewals are provided via an 'Ordering Document' from Oracle prior to the expiration of  
the current year term. The ordering document for the current term of Jan. 30, 2023 -  
Jan. 29, 2024, is attached to this item.  
* BTS is requesting delegated authority to the County Administrator for increases and  
extensions pertaining to renewal periods two through five for this contract.  
* Funding in the amount of $1,399,430.00 is included in the FY23 Adopted Budget  
within the Business Technology Service Fund. The difference between the budgeted  
amount and the agreement will be absorbed by BTS.  
* The County has standard indemnification requirements which Oracle has taken  
exception to that are in conflict with County Resolution No. 06-70. The County  
Attorney's Office and BTS have reviewed the proposed indemnification language and  
do not consider the revised language to be a considerable level of risk. This disclosure  
is set forth in accordance with the requirements of County Resolution No. 06-70.

Resolution supplementing the Fiscal Year 2023 Operating and Capital  
Budget for unanticipated fund balances in the General, Emergency  
Medical Service, STAR Center, Emergency Communication 911 System,  
Fire Districts, Surface Water Utility, Capital Projects, Airport Revenue and  
Operating, Solid Waste Renewal and Replacement, Water Revenue and  
Operating, Water Renewal and Replacement, Sewer Revenue and  
Operating, and Sewer Renewal and Replacement Funds. Fiscal Year  
2023 Board Budget Amendment realigning the Sustainability and  
Resiliency Division’s operating budget from County Administrator to the  
Office of Resilience and Asset Management.  
Conduct a public hearing and adopt the attached resolution recognizing and  
appropriating unanticipated fund balance and revenue in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2023  
budget as follows:  
Recommendation:  
* The resolution carries forward unanticipated lapsed appropriation into the FY23  
Budget for projects and expenses that did not progress as anticipated in FY22 as  
follows: General Fund $1,028,119.00; Emergency Medical Service Fund $6,044,534.00;  
STAR Center Fund ($126,000.00); Emergency Communication 911 System Fund  
$341,560.00; Fire Districts Fund $1,866,730.00; Surface Water Utility Fund  
$1,573,000.00; Capital Projects Fund $79,416,000.00; Airport Revenue and Operating  
Fund $2,067,000.00; Solid Waste Renewal and Replacement Fund $4,128,000.00;  
Water Revenue and Operating Fund $209,000.00; Water Renewal and Replacement  
Fund $1,687,580.00; Sewer Revenue and Operating Fund $3,426,620.00; Sewer  
Renewal and Replacement Fund $9,797,320.00.  
* Generally, unanticipated fund balances result when actual expenditures are less than  
those estimated during the budget development process and/or revenues exceed those  
anticipated. The FY23 actual beginning fund balances have exceeded the budget in the  
funds identified due principally to changes in expenditures not anticipated during budget  
development.  
* For any projects that progressed ahead of schedule in FY22, the resolution reduces  
the FY23 capital budget by the same amount (no total change in funding).  
Transfer the functions, staff, and budget of the Sustainability and Resiliency (SAR)  
Program from County Administration to the Office of Resilience and Asset Management  
(ORAM).  
* Realign SAR's FY23 operating budget of $201,257.90 to ORAM from County  
Administrator.  
* ORAM will be responsible for SAR staff, services, and initiatives moving forward.  
* There is no impact to the General Fund.

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.
