Staff told council reliable operation of the city's 14 generators is critical to the fire department and public safety functions; one generator is being replaced at the water reclamation facility so the contract covers 13 units in the first year. The scope includes routine maintenance, load testing, inspections and repair recommendations. Staff recommended Ring Power because it is an authorized Caterpillar dealer and a significant portion of the city's fleet is Caterpillar equipment.

Council approved the contract by voice vote and staff said future years of the agreement will be brought forward for council approval as part of the annual procurement process.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Oldsmar Council Meeting, 6/17/25","oneSentenceSummary","Council awarded a three-year maintenance agreement to Ring Power Corporation for routine service of the city's Caterpillar generator fleet; first-year budgeted cost $45,792.41 for 13 generators.","taxTitle","Oldsmar, Pinellas County, Florida","taxId",54788,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6196743,"Oldsmar proclaims July as Parks and Recreation Month; department outlines programs and economic impact",260,1505000,1765000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3857198-858bbdf720837c62a894e06768c4cb26&start=1505&end=1765","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3857198-858bbdf720837c62a894e06768c4cb26/thumbnail_1505000.jpg","/articles/6196743/Oldsmar/Pinellas-County/Florida/Oldsmar-proclaims-July-as-Parks-and-Recreation-Month-department-outlines-programs-and-economic-impact","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6196743-7e8ec13b65deeef076868cb7e8186e86/orig.mp4?Expires=1773633321&Signature=JHZDsVrcqfdGfXML7O0ZZdsgwSaR8j3V589iQQCsV814YNGNXQPA-TiGuPhUy9JV~Fh8CsFcXxP~Gg9AH4mPcnK2hxfriwtn2u2px9z~zKV9ahzLPvz-7TqCmPZblwkvb-YYhIjNL2bVZo~jYzTPKuNumYK2peGLceQ-xKp~V0FogBw7LSHWnugc1ElVwBh~17-RtyXxjlNXQgaj9YOeA0lkr9FeEQ4ktW7McyjkDWrV~h~u4AlCA3pSyw5GP2iBiwjkz9QLcWH3dtPNM6EA735Fasn648844i1b87wQDzQDvvAIt-IW~cIBW0wxORuZkEmUbygkKnPhyZo3-Rm0lw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Oldsmar City Council proclaimed July 2025 as Parks and Recreation Month and heard a departmental presentation summarizing recreational programs, facilities and economic impacts.

Vice Mayor Steve Graber read the proclamation recognizing parks and recreation's role in community health, childhood development and economic vitality. Chip Potts, director of parks and recreation, outlined four departmental pillars: community building, health, economic impact and environment. Potts said Oldsmar operates 11 parks and 217 acres of parkland plus more than 2,400 acres of preservation land (about 40% green space within the city limits), and that six parks sit adjacent to water with canoe/kayak launches, two floating docks and one pier.

Potts told council the department recorded more than 13,000 attendees at one event (Gator Nationals) with an estimated $1,400,000 economic impact to local establishments. He also described divisions, staffing and upcoming Parks & Rec Month activities including a bingo program, Chalk the Park and a popsicle/foam pop-up activity. Amber Stevens, a parks board member and public commenter earlier in the meeting, urged residents to participate in month-long activities and outdoor time for health benefits.

Council accepted the proclamation and encouraged residents to review the department's calendar and participate in events.","City council proclaimed July 2025 as Parks and Recreation Month; parks director described programs, 11 parks and economic and environmental benefits including $1.4 million impact from the Gator Nationals event.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6196753,"Oldsmar council adopts 2024 concurrency test statement for development services",617,1989000,2606000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3857198-858bbdf720837c62a894e06768c4cb26&start=1989&end=2606","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3857198-858bbdf720837c62a894e06768c4cb26/thumbnail_1989000.jpg","/articles/6196753/Oldsmar/Pinellas-County/Florida/Oldsmar-council-adopts-2024-concurrency-test-statement-for-development-services","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6196753-869bc2838c7b7797330d5232203fed36/orig.mp4?Expires=1773633321&Signature=bcNNgbl4BwwZDihKZr1yFxtXaHb7odDgYAZzf0m5UN6y3n20CLp-1w2ccVI3b4Sb4bIRXANojslNsuYbv7CYp1zObteQqW6Z2A0E9FpCGw4uNFoEMsF4e6a34WJPKuxGWASJ203XIUd1v6leLYrC6MMFhXVomGNPXzxVOKTTQf-rtI6rEVX4bL1rzn~Itm4veoEhHINJHQIpC55Q7w-QzbXSMADeW5WltHvygPSrmlvuA72UNpoAX6CI8XuHMjpCbUmWRFhKQq1R9R3fu~Zbt0fJsEqXQpVi5D6bzBcUyNYj3~MIF2oKk1QA2oE5HM9r8IBdvDhl4EoHPl68Ed3oag__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Oldsmar City Council adopted Resolution 2025-11 to accept the city's 2024 concurrency test statement, a yearly report required by the land development code to confirm public facilities and services will be available to support new development.

Tatiana Childress, the city's planning and redevelopment director, told council the statement reviews level-of-service standards for transportation, potable water, sanitary sewer, solid waste, parks and recreation and drainage. Childress reported the city has 5,700 potable water connections with average daily use of about 1,362,000 gallons per day (68% capacity used) and average wastewater use of about 1,769,000 gallons per day (78.6% capacity used). She said adopted LOS standards are 100 gallons per day per person for potable water and 125 gallons per day per person for sanitary sewer.

Childress said only one approved development in 2024 was the CAVA Coffee site at 3502 Tampa Road (a 40,440-square-foot building). She addressed planning board questions about traffic circulation at the nearby car wash site and described monitoring measures: residents may call code enforcement, public works or law enforcement for state-road concerns.

On transportation, Childress identified one roadway segment operating below the adopted level of service: Forest Lakes Boulevard (Temple Road to State Road 580). She said the corridor is a Pinellas County project with 90% plans due in fall 2025 and construction anticipated no earlier than summer or fall 2027; plans call for widening to four lanes with center turn lane, shared-use path and widened sidewalk. She also summarized upcoming Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority route changes (Routes 67 and A12 to be reconfigured into Route 78).

Council voted to adopt the concurrency test statement. Childress recommended, and council approved, adoption pursuant to Land Development Code Article 11.","City council adopted the 2024 concurrency test statement as required by the land development code, summarizing service levels for water, sewer, stormwater, transportation, parks and transit and noting a county-led roadway widening project.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6196757,"Oldsmar council requires Veterans Advisory Board members be veterans and city residents",1932,2787000,4719000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3857198-858bbdf720837c62a894e06768c4cb26&start=2787&end=4719","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3857198-858bbdf720837c62a894e06768c4cb26/thumbnail_2787000.jpg","/articles/6196757/Oldsmar/Pinellas-County/Florida/Oldsmar-council-requires-Veterans-Advisory-Board-members-be-veterans-and-city-residents","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6196757-b9daf22522682d74a9671fe4e3ee1545/orig.mp4?Expires=1773633321&Signature=bqHHDsScdY7ztsB55BnjA8hcaNFjEi-aX~T30KNrAZyQ9T8nAr5Y7e~SeMH7oYmlNeMPcG97-7SgkW84WWeWB-jTly6WyRkGYnELlqMTcPk33sMEs-piPGcDr~GxeJN30tzBmi3kdyDF23ywquO-Hx43iNMyXj7s5Tjx4AGwwTnoSJqyz6euHxMfOhNXC5HUmZdq44wKo638JuJHRjJ7L3SPhoSDk3lNOK-RThBuqeWMIsHL9fxG6v2sEbfQJjGqRmb3PVUJg10ZufBaOCUCqV1A-b6NQP8sYwsHtdnyaSKE3Q8NRv4mO2WNa5dQ5OaYSWutPFYRIyV1d0I33H~tXg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Oldsmar City Council on a unanimous voice vote revised Resolution 2024-24 to require that members of the Veterans Advisory Board be both veterans and residents of Oldsmar.

Council action came after a lengthy discussion with current and former Veterans Advisory Board members who described the board's origins, its ceremonial and community work and concerns about inconsistent application forms. Mark Bridal, an original board member, said the board's rules \"were only meant to keep the ones that shouldn't be on that wall off the wall.\" Frank Ciccolo, another founding member, told the council the board had grown beyond selecting names for the memorial wall and now coordinates events and services for veterans.

The change narrows who may serve on the advisory board, not who may be honored on the city's veterans wall. City officials and board members clarified repeatedly that eligibility for placement on the memorial wall remains: an honoree must be a veteran and a resident of Oldsmar. City Manager Felicia explained the council's action was intended to resolve an administrative ambiguity after staff found the standard appointment application lacked the residency/lifetime veteran preference the board had long followed.

Public commenters supported the board and the change. Peggy Allison, who said she had organized Quilts of Valor presentations and submitted names to the city, urged council to preserve the board's work and said she planned to attend future meetings.

Councilmember discussion emphasized two operational points: (1) the resolution change governs membership on the Veterans Advisory Board, and (2) the board retains responsibility for reviewing and recommending names for the memorial wall. Vice Mayor Steve Graber and councilors noted the council can reverse the membership requirement later if it becomes impossible to fill vacancies under the new rule.

The motion to revise the resolution passed by voice vote. The city clerk and city attorney will update the application form and the resolution language to reflect the new membership requirement and post the changes online.","The Oldsmar City Council voted to amend Resolution 2024-24 to require Veterans Advisory Board members to be veterans and residents of Oldsmar; the board\u0000and public speakers described the change as clarifying membership rules, not eligibility for the veterans wall.","actionData","errors"]
