EAST TAMPA CRA
COMMUNITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE APPOINTMENTS
Dear Interested Volunteer:
Thank you for your interest in serving on the East Tampa Community Redevelopment Area
(CRA) Advisory Committee. Having dedicated, capable individuals serving to support their
community's redevelopment is critical to our goal of insuring our work is responsive to
community needs; your desire to serve in such a capacity is greatly appreciated.
The City of Tampa Community Redevelopment Agency is seeking community advisory
committee members for the East Tampa Community Redevelopment Area. Attached is an
application package for your completion. We look forward to receiving your application at the
East Tampa Redevelopment Office by 5:00 p.m., May 29, 2020.
In the East Tampa CRA, Community Advisory Committee (CAC) members generally attend the
CAC monthly meeting on the first Tuesday of the month, and the East Tampa Community
Revitalization Partnership monthly meeting on the second Tuesday of the month. The meetings
may last between one and two hours each.
Thank you again for your interest in volunteering to support our City's most important
redevelopment initiatives. If you have questions, or would like to obtain more information about
community redevelopment areas and the role of advisory committees, please contact the East
Tampa Development Office at 242-3807.
Sincerely,
Orlando Gudes
Orlando Gudes
Chair, Community Redevelopment Agency
City of Tampa
Community Redevelopment Area Advisory Committees
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is a Community Advisory Committee?
The purpose of a Community Advisory Committee is to insure that the interests of residents,
property owners, businesses and other stakeholders are represented in key decisions relating to
the Community Redevelopment Plan and budget for their area. A Community Advisory
Committee provides input and makes recommendations to City staff and the Community
Redevelopment Agency Board concerning their Community Redevelopment area.
2. What are Community Redevelopment Areas and where are they located?
Community Redevelopment areas are authorized under Florida law, Chapter 163, Part III, for the
purpose of overcoming slum and blighted conditions. The areas are established by City Council
resolution and must meet specific criteria set forth in Chapter 163. They are funded through the
increase in property values that are brought about through the redevelopment of the area.
3. Who serves on the Community Redevelopment Agency Board?
The Tampa City Council also serves as the City of Tampa Community Redevelopment Agency
Board. This is a completely separate role and function from their City Council duties. The
Community Redevelopment Agency utilizes City staff, through a contract with the City of
Tampa, to conduct the work associated with implementing the Community Redevelopment Area
Plan and budget for each area.
4. What are the qualifications to serve on a Community Advisory Committee?
Committee members must live or work in the redevelopment area and/or have significant
interests within the area. Some members of each Committee should have a background or
expertise in the redevelopment process, such as neighborhood planning, real estate development,
and/or real estate finance. The membership should represent the diversity of stakeholders in
each area.
5. How can I become a member of a Community Advisory Committee?
You can obtain a complete application package from the East Tampa Redevelopment Office.
Interested parties that meet the qualifications may apply by completing a Community
Redevelopment Agency Advisory Committee Questionnaire and Sunshine Law and Ethics Code
Acknowledgement Form and submitting to the East Tampa Redevelopment Office by the
application deadline. Community Advisory Committee members are voted on by the East Tampa
Community Revitalization Partnership (ETCRP) and ratified by the Community Redevelopment
Agency Board in a public meeting.
6. What is the length of service for an Advisory Committee member?
Generally, terms are for 2 years. There is a limit of two consecutive, 2-year terms.
7. What is the time commitment involved in serving?
The East Tampa Community Advisory Committee typically meets once a month and may call
special meetings as needed. The Community Advisory Committee also attends the ETCRP
meeting once a month, and may choose to serve on a subcommittee. On average, CAC members
spend about five hours a month, more depending upon initiatives they volunteer to work on.
8. Do the Community Advisory Committees operate in the “Sunshine”?
Advisory Committees must operate in the “Sunshine” in accordance with Florida Statutes,
Chapter 286. Operating in the Sunshine means that all business related to the Community
Redevelopment Area must only be discussed in advertised public meetings to avoid a legal
violation. This restriction is limited to discussion of Community Redevelopment Area business
and does not prohibit committee members from discussing any other matters in private.
9. What are Conflicts of Interest?
The ability to make sound, fair decisions is sometimes affected by other interests. Since
conflicts of interest are a regular part of organizational life, there are specific rules to govern
committee members’ actions. The key point related to conflicts of interest is that no CRA
Advisory Committee member shall vote or participate in a matter that would provide them, an
organization that retains them, or any close relative with any special private gain that would not
also be enjoyed by others. More details can be found in “Section 13 Conflicts of Interest” from
the City of Tampa Community Redevelopment Agency Community Advisory Committee policy
(see attached). City staff will provide guidance to appointees regarding Conflict of Interest
issues.
10. If I own property or a business in the Community Redevelopment Area does that mean I
have a conflict of interest? Can I still serve on an Advisory Committee?
Owners of property and businesses within a Community Redevelopment Area are encouraged to
participate in an Advisory Committee and this does not constitute a conflict of interest.
