Body
SUMMARY:  
On March 6, 1997, the City Council adopted Ordinance 6137-97. The ordinance established the requirement for a special hearing prior to adoption of the capital improvement budget to discuss the use of Penny for Pinellas tax, and at any time in which there is any proposed change to the Penny for Pinellas project funding of $500,000 or more.
Changes to the Penny for Pinellas projects that meet this criteria in the proposed 2014/15 capital improvement budget and six-year plan include the following:
·      The Police Range Improvement project has been established in the amount of $1,700,000 for the reconstruction of the Police firing range.
 
·      The New AC System/Chiller for Police and MSB Facilities project has been established in the amount of $1,750,000.
 
·      The Hangar "C" Replacement project has been established in the amount of $240,000 providing for the demolition and rebuilding of this hangar at the City's Clearwater Airpark.
 
·      The Fire Engine Replacement project has been increased in the amount of $549,830 to include the replacement of one of the City's front line fire engines.
