I am writing to ask your permission to fill 2 vacancies in the Sanitation Department.

Our Management Methods Analyst I, Joanna Tyner, went to work for Hillsborough County. She was our liason with ICS for computer hardware and software issues and also did purchasing of certain supplies.

A Customer Service Representative, Latisha Griffen, has been promoted to Sanitation Inspector II in the new curbside recycling division. The Customer Service Representatives answer phone calls and create work orders to have requests for service scheduled. They also deal with customers who come to the department in person wanting to have mulch delivered or to sign documents we need to do rodent control and roll off service.

Thank you.

Dear Charlie and Steve:

I wanted to keep you both updated on a follow-up letter to FDOT I sent out today. Last year, the TBEP Policy Board asked that I send a letter to FDOT letting them know of the Old Tampa Bay Integrated Model project and offering to work with them to evaluate various causeway configurations for the Howard Frankland Bridge. Our model is now complete and available, and the attached letter again offers to work with FDOT to examine ways that the water quality may be improved in Old Tampa Bay with the new bridge configurations.

Representative Jolly is also interested in encouraging FDOT to consider using our model, and has asked to be kept informed—I have copied him on this letter also.

Thanks, and please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

From: Holly Greening [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, March 25, 2015 3:18 PM To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected]; 'Jennette Seachrist'; 'Ed Sherwood'; [email protected]; 'Sue C. Moore' Subject: TBEP offer to FDOT re: application of Old Tampa Bay integrated model

Dear Ms. Creighton:

The Tampa Bay Estuary Program (TBEP), in partnership with the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFMWD), has now completed a suite of watershed and bay models to determine possible environmental benefits resulting from future management actions in the lands surrounding Old Tampa Bay. These management actions can range from improvements to stormwater and wastewater infrastructure in the watershed to physical alterations of causeways and bridges that span Old Tampa Bay. Based on the simulated outputs garnered from the integrated models, informed resource management decisions can be 6 made regarding the cost-effectiveness of future projects to help improve Old Tampa Bay’s environmental condition.

Simulated results from the TBEP and SWFWMD modeling effort indicate that localized benefits to circulation (and therefore water quality improvements) in the western nearshore portions of Old Tampa Bay may result from modifications to the Howard Frankland Bridge causeway. These improvements may potentially lead to improvements in seagrass habitat and reductions in nuisance algal blooms in these regions of Old Tampa Bay. The TBEP has committed some future funds to work with regional partners to exercise the models for refined assessments of potential management actions in the region. As such, we encourage FDOT to work with us further in their design utilizing the existing models developed for the Old Tampa Bay region.

We would welcome the opportunity to talk with your science staff and FDOT about the results of the modeling efforts-- which indicate that incorporating modifications in the design of the planned Howard Frankland Bridge may provide benefits to Old Tampa Bay-- at this early stage of FDOT’s planning efforts. Please don’t hesitate to contact me to discuss further.

Sincerely,

Holly Greening

Any need to reply? From: Richard Damashek [ mailto:[email protected] ] Sent: Tuesday, March 17, 2015 11:48 AM To: Mayor; Council; StPeteParksRec; devrev; [email protected] ; TheGreenhouse; Nikki Capehart; Susan P. Ajoc Cc: Michael Torop; Jane Thomas Subject: Solar Panels

I'm a recent arrival from Chicago where the mayor has been touting the "green" developments in the city, including the green roof on the roof of city hall. New buildings go up that tout their "green" qualities. I lived in one of them.

Now, I live in Signature Place and rent a condo that looks out at empty roof tops and largely empty parking garage roofs. Yesterday, I had a Eureka moment when I noticed six solar panels on the roof of a nearby office building that might be Duke Energy. My insight was why aren't there solar panels on those rooftops and parking garages?

I'm attaching several pictures I took from my 24th floor balcony so that you might get an idea of what I'm seeing. Perhaps you see similar empty rooftops from your office windows.

I think it would be in the best interest of the city to make use of all this empty space for solar panels that might benefit the owners of the buildings and the city as well. If I were in your marketing department, I'd want the city to advertise itself not only as "sun city" but as "green sun city."

I can see the magazines taking note of this initiative and the city getting credit for its forward-looking municipal policies. St. Pete might even set in motion a trend for other small to midsize cities to follow suit.

I look forward to your response.

Help Us Welcome 11th Annual Raceweek!! RACE-THEMED FLAG RAISING AT CITY HALL 10:45 A.M. THURS. MARCH 26

St. Petersburg, Fla. (March 25, 2015) - As the city officially gears up to welcome race week visitors, fans, drivers and teams, the public is invited to a brief flag raising ceremony to kick start the 11th Annual Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg:

--On Thursday, March 26, race event organizers will join Mayor Rick Kriseman to raise a custom St. Petersburg race- themed flag over City Hall, 175 Fifth St. N., at a public ceremony at 10:45 a.m. The ceremony will be held on the northeast lawn of City Hall at the corner of Fifth Street and Second Avenue N.

The race week flag raising is just one way St. Petersburg is "Embracing the Race," an effort geared toward local businesses to boost their participation in race week-themed activities and incentives.

St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Kriseman stated, "As a world-wide audience tunes into Sunday's IndyCar series race live on ABC television, the 11th anniversary of this event is a time to celebrate our city of opportunity, embrace the race, welcome visitors and patronize local businesses."

Right-click here to download pictures. To help protect your privacy, Outlook prevented automatic download of this picture from the Internet. Heather Redfern PUBLIC INFORMATION MANAGER, SEPTA Seeing a canine passenger on mass transit is not uncommon, but the reasons why a dog might catch the train or hop a bus are varied (remember Eclipse , the Seattle Lab mix that uses the bus, often on her own, to get to the dog park?). Most public transit pooches are working —as K-9 officers or service animals. In the Philadelphia region, other animals — in approved carriers only—are permitted to ride the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority’s buses, trains and trolleys. However, a new pilot program underway by SEPTA allows registered therapy dogs volunteering at two Philadelphia hospitals to use two designated bus routes to travel to their sites.

The Power of Change Donation Stations

The Power of Change Homeless Initiative, implemented in October 2014 by the City of St. Petersburg, is utilizing repurposed parking meters as a means to raise

193 awareness about homelessness, and to give people the option of donating their spare change to programs that help the homeless, instead of giving money to panhandlers. Initially, the money raised by the donation stations will be allocated to the City of St. Petersburg Homeless Street Outreach Team to provide assistance with emergency housing, diapers, food, family reunification and other emergency services.

Tampa Bay Times: Rick Kriseman wins Grand Prix of St. Petersburg's mayoral go-carts challenge

When Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn spun out and ended up in the grass during Thursday's mayoral go- Thursday, March 19 carts challenge, he thought he knew the reason why: St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Kriseman must have sabotaged his brakes.

"That's the only way that he could win," Buckhorn said, joking.

Suncoast News: Tourism panel backs cap on bed tax capital funding

The value of advertising the area's beaches vs. building new sports stadiums or aquariums to attract more people is dividing Pinellas County's tourism leaders. Thursday, March 19 At a Wednesday meeting in Clearwater, Dunedin Mayor Julie Ward Bujalski said devoting a large share of the county's $35 million in bed tax dollars to capital projects is critical to keep sports teams like the Toronto Blue Jays here and the scores of visitors who come to her town to watch them during spring training.

Tampa Bay Times: Pinellas tourist council favors lower cap for spending on capital projects

St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Kriseman's bid to dedicate more tourism tax dollars to capital projects countywide Wednesday, March 18 suffered a setback Wednesday when it failed to win the endorsement of the Pinellas Tourist Development Council.

The council, of which Kriseman is a member, voted 7-4 to recommend to the Pinellas County Commission that spending on capital projects such as sports stadiums account for no more than 40 percent of the revenue raised by the county's tourism tax. Kriseman favored a second option offered by county staff that would set a 50 percent cap, which would make more money available for projects such as renovating Al Lang Stadium and the recently announced plan to build an 1,800-seat baseball stadium at Walter Fuller Field, both in St. Petersburg.

Leading the News

At White House Science Fair, Obama Announces New STEM Commitments. The New York Times (3/23, Shear, Subscription Publication) describes President Obama as being awed by the accomplishments of the children who on Monday presented their inventions at the White House Science Fair, and notes that in brief remarks he announced “$240 million in new commitments from the government and private businesses to help children succeed in science, technology and math,” part of an initiative known as STEM. However, adds the Times, “it was clear that” for Obama, “the best part of the day was spending time with the young inventors.” The AP (3/24, Kuhnhenn), meanwhile, notes that “the pledges the president announced include a $150 million philanthropic effort to encourage promising early-career scientists to stay on track and a $90 million campaign to expand STEM opportunities to underrepresented youth, such as minorities and girls.” Said Obama, “It’s not enough for our country just to be proud of you. We’ve got to support you.”

208 NAE Announces Plan To Graduate 20,000 “Grand Challenge Engineers.” The National Academy of Engineering has announced that “more than 120 US engineering schools” presented President Obama with a letter of commitment at the White House Science Fair announcing “plans to educate a new generation of engineers expressly equipped to tackle some of the most pressing issues facing society in the 21st century.” The piece explains that these “Grand Challenges” involve “complex yet critical goals such as engineering better medicines, making solar energy cost-competitive with coal, securing cyberspace, and advancing personalized learning tools to deliver better education to more individuals.” Each school pledged to graduate at least 20 students every year “specially prepared to lead the way in solving such large-scale problems, with the goal of training more than 20,000 formally recognized ‘Grand Challenge Engineers’ over the next decade.”

Public Safety

Compensation For Those Killed Due To GM Defective Cars Stands At 74. The AP (3/23) reports that the updated total of the GM fund to compensate victims’ families of the defective ignition switches stands at 74 people killed in crashes related to the defect. The story says number approved for payout went up seven from last week’s total of 67. The fund is managed by attorney Kenneth Feinberg. The AP says an additional 126 injured people have also been determined to be eligible for compensation.

Law and Policy

Broadband Providers Sue FCC Over Net Neutrality Regulations. The Los Angeles Times (3/24, Puzzanghera) reports “an expected lengthy court fight” over new net neutrality regulations began with broadband providers alleging in lawsuits against the Federal Communications Commission that rules are “arbitrary, capricious, and an abuse of discretion.” Meanwhile, an FCC spokesperson said the lawsuits “are premature and subject to dismissal.”

EPA’s Power Plant Mercury Emissions Regulations Criticized. In an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal (3/24, Subscription Publication), Brian Potts, a partner at the international law firm Foley & Lardner LLP, criticizes the EPA’s regulation of mercury emissions from power plants. The regulations are now being considered by the Supreme Court. Potts argues that the EPA admits that the regulations wouldn’t greatly affect US mercury deposition, and suggests that the agency’s assumptions in calculating the harm from the pollution are ridiculous. He concludes that economic losses due to the children hurt by mercury are outweighed by the costs of complying with the rules.

Research and Funding

Researchers Make Strides In Metamaterial Applications. The New York Times (3/24, Markoff, Subscription Publication) reports on advances researchers have made in recent years about the science of metamaterials, noting that they are “generating innovations in an array of fields, including radio antennas, radar, cosmetics, soundproofing and walls that help protect against earthquakes and tsunamis.” The piece explains that such materials are “constructed with subcomponents that are smaller than the wavelength of the type of radiation they are designed to manipulate.” Moreover, there are “obvious markets for the technology in automotive safety and self-driving cars.”

Rochester Institute Of Technology Emerges As Drone Research Leader. The Rochester (NY) Democrat & Chronicle (3/19) reports that Rochester Institute of Technology, long seen as a leader in aerial and satellite imaging, “has now emerged as one of the world’s leading centers for research on drones, small unmanned aircraft.” The head of the school’s Center for Imaging Science, David Messinger, “says he gets calls almost every week from companies seeking this expertise, and graduating students are in extraordinarily high demand.” The piece notes that graduates from the school’s Digital Imaging and Remote Sensing Lab are “highly sought after by government and industry alike.”

Ohio State Researchers Bend Sound, Manipulate Temperature With Magnetic Fields. The Columbus (OH) Dispatch (3/23) reports on research published by two Ohio State University researchers in the journal Nature Materials describing “how to bend sound and adjust temperature using magnetic fields.” The article reports that the university says the

209 “researchers are the first to prove that tiny particles of heat and sound are magnetic,” meaning that these acoustic phonons “can be controlled by magnetic fields.”

Northwest University Researchers Working On Underwater Router. The Boston Herald (3/24) reports that Northwest University researcher Tommaso Melodia is working on “the first underwater smartphone or wireless router,” noting that the school lured the “highly cited researcher who is pioneering subaquatic Wi-Fi” from SUNY Buffalo. The piece notes that the National Science Foundation has given Melodia a $300,000 grant “to expand his research, this time focusing on the possibility of real-time underwater video streaming.”

Education

California State Legislator Advocates New, Science-Based UC. California state Assemblyman Mike Gatto (D-Glendale) writes an op-ed to the Los Angeles Times (3/23, Gatto) to counter a previous blog post from the Times’ Karin Klein. Gatto argues that elite UCs are at maximum capacity and will experience growing pressure that could be handled with increased capacity stemming from a new UC that focused on STEAM subjects, “practical subject areas that generate the best-paying jobs.” He notes that many high-merit students are rejected from UCs and often leave the state, which poses a long-term problem, and that students currently at UCs find themselves in a high-cost environment that did not allow ample interaction with professors. While he admits that there are short-term challenges that must be addressed, he notes that California is expected to grow, and the state’s “educational superiority” has always depended on planning for “long-term higher-educational needs.”

Roads and Highways

US Drivers Log The Most Cumulative Miles Since 2007. The Detroit News (3/23, Shepardson) reports that “Americans drove 3.02 trillion miles in 2014, up 1.7 percent over 2013,” marking the highest cumulative miles driven since 2007 when Americans logged 3.03 trillion miles. “Americans are driving their cars at near-record levels, and being stuck in traffic is costing drivers an average of nearly five days a year,” said Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx. “To ensure this problem doesn’t get worse, greater innovations and investments are needed. We can’t keep treating America’s 21st-century traffic needs with 20th-century solutions.” The Detroit Bureau (3/23) reports “Data like these are critical to helping federal and state transportation leaders understand the challenges facing American drivers,” said FHWA Deputy Administrator Gregory Nadeau in a press release. CNBC (3/23, Strong) provides additional coverage. Percentage of Age 50+ Drivers Growing In the US. The Detroit News (3/23, Shepardson) reports that the FHWA announced on Monday there are 93.5 million drivers in the US over age 50, accounting for 44.1 percent of all drivers as of 2013. The Detroit News writes that the increase in older drivers should encourage lawmakers to give greater attention to policies that make roads safer and easier to navigate for older drivers. “From brighter, more visible highway signs and lane markings to pedestrian countdown signals, our research has done much to keep America’s aging population safe,” Nadeau said.

Shutdown Of Transportation Projects Begins In Four States. The Hill (3/23, Laing) reports that the “uncertainty of federal transportation funding is already causing state and local governments to cancel construction projects,” according to DC infrastructure advocates. The current Federal transportation funding bill is set to expire in May as Congress debate a way to pay for the extension. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx told a March 19 infrastructure forum in DC that four states – Georgia, Wyoming, Arkansas and Tennessee – have “already announced they were having to put a hold on projects as they wait for Congress to clear up the federal program uncertainty,” according to the AASHTO website. Proposal In Congress To Allow Local Gov Direct Access To Federal Transportation Funds. The Streets Blog (3/23, Schmitt) reports “A bipartisan coalition of 10 lawmakers is supporting the Innovation in Surface Transportation Act,” which would assist local jurisdictions in “directly access federal funding for transportation projects,” according to Transportation for America. The proposal was first raised in 2014 and would allow local governments to compete for at least “$5 billion of the $50 billion” in Federal transportation funds allocated annually. According to the Blog Sen. Roger Wicker (R-MS), one of the bill’s sponsors, told DOT Secretary Anthony Foxx in a hearing two weeks ago that “local officials in his state are excited about the concept.”

Chamber News

New Programs to Help Artists Grow Their Business Offered at The St. Petersburg Greenhouse

The St. Petersburg Greenh ouse , a collaboration between the City of St. Petersburg and the St. Pete Chamber, will be offering business classes for artists with The St. Petersburg Artists' Resource Collaborative (SPARC) .

238 Originally formed in 2009, the Greenhouse has decided to reintroduce the SPARC program this spring, in partnership with the St. Petersburg Arts Alliance . "Here in St. Petersburg, such a large part of our economy and what makes us go is in the arts. We think it's important to help artists be in the best position to succeed financially as well as develop their craft," said Sean Kennedy, Greenhouse Manager. "Business know-how is really vital to our artist community and city as a whole," added Wayne Atherholt, Cultural Affairs Director for the City of St. Petersburg, "I think this is a great opportunity for local artists."

In an effort to meet the needs of our artist community, the program will be separated into two formats - monthly seminars for artists (held the 3 rd Thursday of every month) will be free to the public and feature a different topic of interest; meanwhile, a more in-depth program, to be dubbed the Arts Business Collaborative (ABC), will be held in the summer.

SPARC will remain a casual forum for artists to meet, "Igniting the Business of Art in St. Petersburg." The Arts Business Collaborative (ABC), will be an extended program that allows artists to cover a variety of fundamental topics to help them succeed in business. Modelled after the St. Petersburg Chamber's Entrepreneurial Academy presented by BB&T (also held at the Greenhouse), the Arts Business Collaborative will last 6 weeks and cost $75.

Both programs will be curated by John Collins, Executive Director of the St. Petersburg Arts Alliance, who will be bringing in experts on various topics to interact and collaborate with the artist community. "The St. Petersburg Arts Alliance is committed to professional arts education to support the artist entrepreneurs who drive our creative economy," says John.
