Oldsmar Council approves a slate of routine resolutions, grant acceptances and agreements
Summary
At its May 5 meeting, Oldsmar’s council approved several administrative and funding items by voice vote, including discontinuing an annual ad-valorem transfer to the Public Safety Impact Fund, acceptance of a state cybersecurity grant, renewal of the Pinellas County CDBG cooperation agreement, and authorization to access county disaster-recovery consultant contracts.
The Oldsmar City Council used voice votes May 5 to approve a package of administrative resolutions, grant acceptances, and intergovernmental agreements.
Key actions approved include: - Resolution to repeal the annual ad-valorem tax transfer (one-tenth of a mill) to the Public Safety Impact Fund effective Oct. 1, 2026; staff noted the fund will continue to collect fees and general-fund revenues will supplement capital needs as approved in future budgets. - Authorization to enter a participant agreement with Title B some Government Consulting LLC under Pinellas County Contract 250763 to provide disaster-recovery services after future storms; staff noted each municipality will manage its own purchase orders and FEMA reimbursement. - Acceptance of a Florida Local Government Cybersecurity Grant award administered through the Department of Management Services/Florida Digital Service; staff said the award requires no local match for the coming year and procured services will be provided through the state. - Renewal of the Pinellas County Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Urban County cooperation agreement covering FY27–29, retaining access to federal programs including HOME and ESG funding; staff recommended remaining in the county program to reduce administrative burden and preserve regional coordination. - Authorization for the city attorney to prepare a resolution establishing an auditor selection committee in compliance with Florida Statutes (staff recommended a three-member committee, including one council member as chair).
Each item was introduced by staff and approved by voice vote with no recorded roll-call tallies in the public record of tonight’s meeting. The council also approved the consent docket, which included routine contract renewals, minutes, and procurement authorizations.
