Municipal Services Taxing Unit Special Projects Funding for the Kiwanis

Breakfast Club of Seminole Family Fun Fishing Trailer.

Recommendation:

Approval of the Municipal Services Taxing Unit (MSTU) Special Project

funding request, in the amount of $9,834.98, for the Kiwanis Club Family

Fun Fishing Trailer Project at Taylor Park.

The MSTU funding is requested to purchase a custom-built

fishing trailer equipped with shelving and racks for storing 225

fishing poles and all the needed fishing gear, equipment, and

supplies for the Family Fun Fishing Event.

Since 2004, our Kiwanis Club has partnered with Pinellas County

Parks providing the opportunity for all children up to 14 years of

age to learn the life-long hobby of fishing and to enjoy the great

outdoors with their parents/guardians. Since 2004 over 2,809

children have participated.

The Family Fun Fishing Event occurs four times a year at Taylor

Park. The Kiwanis Club provides all the fishing poles, bait, and

prizes for the kids at this free "catch and release" fishing day

event.

The existing fishing trailer has deteriorated and beyond useful

life. In addition, it is too heavy to tow by County Park's new fleet

of light-duty trucks. A new trailer will allow our Kiwanis Club to

continue our partnership with Pinellas County Parks for many

years to come.

The request for funding in the amount of $9,834.98 is a one-time

expenditure of budgeted MSTU Special Projects funds. Funding

is included in the General Government MSTU cost center within

the General Fund and is consistent with the Fiscal Year 2024

approved budget.

Resolution authorizing continuation of a $4.50 Passenger Facility

Charge and to amend past applications at the St. Pete-Clearwater

International Airport.

Recommendation:

Adopt a resolution authorizing St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport

(PIE) to submit Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) Application #8 to the

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to allow continued collection of

the PFC fees to fund FAA approved projects. PIE also is filing to amend

past PFC Applications #3, #6, and #7. In addition, obtain the Chairman’s

signature on the PFC application and amendments when the FAA

indicates the application and amendments are substantially complete.

The total PFC revenue to be collected in the new application (#8)

through July 1, 2029, is $15,906,436.00. Funding supports

projects such as the common use terminal equipment for

passenger processing; replacement of PIE’s rotating beacon;

replacement of a terminal building chiller; rehabilitation of

Taxiways “A”, “G”, “A5”, “A6” and “A7”; and the rehabilitation of a

section of Runway 04/22.

Amendments to past PFC Applications #3, #6, and #7 are

necessary to increase or decrease budgets on projects to allow

the applications to be administratively closed out and have

project budgets amended with the FAA.

The FAA’s PFC program allows the collection of PFC fees up to

$4.50 for every enplaned passenger at commercial service

airports to fund FAA approved projects that enhance safety,

security, or capacity.

The draft resolution and the application form must be approved

and signed by the Chairman before the application is submitted

to the FAA.

These revenues are included in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2024

Adopted Budget and the FY25 Proposed Budget in the Airport

Revenue and Operating Fund.

of the Pinellas County Land Development Code, Chapter 138 - Zoning,

related to definitions and the standards for accessory dwelling units.

(Legislative)

ordinance amending Chapter 138 of the Pinellas County Land

Development Code, providing revised definitions and standards for

accessory dwelling units.

This is the second of 2 required public hearings.

Ordinance of Pinellas County, Florida, related to ad valorem tax

exemption, amending Chapter 118 of the Pinellas County Code to

create a new Article VIII, Additional Homestead Exemption for Qualifying

Living Quarters of Parents or Grandparents. (Legislative)

Recommendation:

Conduct a public hearing and approve an ordinance amending Chapter

118 of the Pinellas County Code, creating a new Article VIII regarding

Additional Homestead Exemption for Qualifying Living Quarters of

Parents or Grandparents.

This additional homestead exemption is authorized by Florida

Statutes and would cover unincorporated areas of the County.

Would reduce the assessment of increased property value from

the construction or reconstruction of living quarters for parents or

grandparents of the property owner or owner’s spouse.

The parent(s) or grandparent(s) must be at least 62 years old and

cannot have a homestead exemption of their own elsewhere.

Applies only to improvements made after the adoption date of the

ordinance.

The taxable value excluded may not exceed 20 percent of the

assessed value of the property as improved.

This ordinance is complementary to a separate code amendment

proposal involving increased flexibility for accessory dwelling

units.

This ordinance is estimated by the Office of Management and

Budget to cause a reduction of Ad Valorem tax revenue from the

unincorporated area Municipal Service Taxing Unit of

approximately $1,300.00 per year based on comparable data

from another nearby County, adjusted for differences in

population and property tax rates.
