Zephyrhills Military Museum president asks council to waive pergola permit fees
Summary
Cliff Moffett, president of the Zephyrhills Military Museum, told the council the museum is seeking a waiver of permit fees for a grant-funded pergola and picnic area to be built on city property behind the museum; councilmembers signaled support and asked staff about the nonprofit's 501(c)(3) status.
Cliff Moffett, president of the Zephyrhills Military Museum, asked the city council to waive permit fees for a pergola and picnic-area project the museum plans to install on city property behind the museum. "We're funding it ourselves, but we're in a process of a permitting process," Moffett said, adding the site will include picnic tables open to the public.
Council members sought clarifications about ownership and approvals. The council president confirmed the project would be on city property and asked whether the museum holds 501(c)(3) status; Moffett said the nonprofit has that designation. Several councilmembers expressed support; one said, "And thank you for what you do out there," and the council proceeded to treat the request as part of consent or administrative handling rather than requiring a separate vote.
The museum representative said the project stems from a grant and that permits have been pulled; the only outstanding request discussed at the meeting was a waiver of fees for the permit process. The council did not record a separate formal vote on the waiver during public comment but indicated staff would follow up to confirm documentation and next steps.
