Oldsmar Council approves a slate of routine resolutions, grant acceptances and agreements

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.
