Board approves contracts, policies and schedules attorney‑client session; votes unanimous
The Tampa Bay Water board took a series of routine actions at its Nov. 17 meeting, voting unanimously on multiple items brought forward by staff.

General Counsel Fernandez presented a proposed three‑year renewal for outside counsel representing the agency; the board approved the renewal unanimously. Maribel Medina presented a five‑year subscription agreement with Orego Technologies for the Masterworks project‑management software with a not‑to‑exceed amount of $1,600,000; the board approved that contract unanimously.

The board also approved revisions to the property‑acquisition policy specific to the South Hillsborough Pipeline—extending the policy expiration date and clarifying eminent‑domain process—and unanimously approved staff’s request to hold an attorney‑client session at the January meeting concerning the Polk Regional Water Cooperative's administrative lawsuit over the Alafia River permit increase. The meeting materials were received and filed and the board adjourned until Jan. 26.
