Roy Jenkins Pool = Year Round Fun
The Mayor’s City of Tampa 2017 budget has come out and with much enthusiasm the Roy Jenkins Pool has been identified to be open Year Round! A special thanks to the Islands residents that pushed for this to become a reality. In particular, thank you to Councilman Harry Cohen who supported this as a priority for Tampa residents.
Need a Restroom?
How many times have you been enjoying time at the DI Dog Park, Seaplane Basin or the beach and had to GO!!!!
We have a great opportunity to have restrooms installed down at Seaplane Basin Park BUT we need your help. With the 2017 budget decisions in full swing we need all hands on deck!
Send a quick email to all City Council members and the Mayor requesting their support.
Emails must be received between now and the September 7th budget hearing
The specific request is: Please support funding for restrooms at Seaplane Basin Park.

Each month the City of Tampa publishes these filings for all City of Tampa residents, it is called the C.A.R.E. S Newsletter. Details on the filings can be found by logging into the City of Tampa Online Portal This months requests are as follows:
