Tampa Bay Express (TBX) City of Tampa Community Engagement Meetings
For the Downtown Tampa Interchange (I-275 at I-4)
WPI: 433821-22-01
In August of 2015, the Hillsborough Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) adopted the Tampa Bay Express (TBX) project into the County’s Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP). As part of the Tampa Bay Express public outreach, Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District 7 is seeking input from neighborhood residents and business owners regarding how Tampa Bay Express will impact adjacent neighborhoods and what mitigation or improvement efforts are desired to meet the neighborhoods’ needs.
Neighborhood workshops are being utilized to allow organizations, individuals, and local agencies to collaboratively explore potential solutions to issues facing their community regarding the Tampa Bay Express project.
During the first Workshop Series, citizens from Downtown Tampa, Seminole Heights, Tampa Heights, West River, and Ybor City identified neighborhood assets and needs, and then framed their concerns around the Tampa Bay Express project. The local agencies then came together to determine how community goals and current planning efforts aligned with neighborhood needs. To review the summary report for the first Workshop Series, please visit www.tampabayexpress.com, click on the “Get Involved” pull down, select “Community Engagement” and scroll down to the Reports section.
During the second Workshop Series, neighborhood groups determined goals and objectives for their neighborhoods and then listed design strategies to address their concerns identified in the first Workshop Series. To review the Summary (Workshop Series 2) presentation, please visit www.tampabayexpress.com, click on the “Get Involved” pull down, select “Community Engagement” and scroll down to the Presentation section.
The third Workshop Series coordinated community-driven design strategies between neighborhoods, FDOT District VII and local agencies to determine potential, neighborhood-specific improvements that could become part of the Tampa Bay Express project.
The Florida Center for Community Design and Research (FCCDR), in cooperation with the Florida Department of Transportation District Seven, City of Tampa, Hillsborough County, HART and Hillsborough Planning Commission, is inviting community representatives from City of Tampa, Home Owner Associations, residents, and civic and business associations near the Downtown Tampa Interchange (I-275 at I-4) to attend and participate in the Summary (Workshop Series 3) presentation of the Community Engagement meetings regarding the TBX project.

- Notices of Petitions and Dispositions Regarding Declaratory Stat (7)
-
General Motors Financial Company, Inc. on May 20, 2016.; The petition seeks a declaratory statement from the Office with respect to offers and sales of Petitioner’s Variable Denominational Floating Rate Demand Notes; and if Petitioner’s and its officers, employees and directors are required to comply with registration requirements of Sec. 517. 12, Florida Statutes.
-
Credit Union "Payment Center"; The petition sought a declaratory statement from the Office on whether Petitioner's proposed business activities (of offering a remittance service, without, charging a fee) fall within Florida’s money transmitting licensing statute Chapter 560, Florida Statutes. (560.204)
On May 26, 2016, the Office issued a Final Order. Based on the facts as provided in the Petition, neither Petitioner nor its employees
are required to obtain licensure under Chapter 560, Florida Statutes.
-
FirstKey Business Lending, LLC, (FKBL); The petition sought the Office’s interpretation on the following: Whether FKBL is required to be licensed as a Florida mortgage lender to make investment property loans depends on two factors: (1) whether FKBL falls within the Act's definition of "mortgage lender;" and (2) whether FKBL can satisfy any of the Act's exemptions to licensure.
On May 26, 2016, the Office issued a Final Order. Based on the information provided and subject to the caveat expressly provided, the Office answers the petition and declares that with the exception of loans on properties consisting of five or more dwelling units, the loans described by FKBL are not "mortgage loans" as defined by section 494.001 (24), Florida Statutes. The mortgage loans that are described are "nonresidential mortgage loans" subject to the exemption from licensure under 494.00115(2)(d), Florida Statutes. Therefore, FKBL is not required to obtain a license from the Office before offering or making such loans in Florida.
-
Brown Brothers Harriman & Co., (BBH); The Petition requested the Office of Financial Regulation to determine whether, according to the facts presented, Petitioner was a "bank authorized to do business in this state" and therefore exempt from registration as a dealer and investment adviser under Chapter 517, Florida Statutes.
On May 26, 2016, a Final Order was issued. Petitioner is not a "bank" as that term is used and referenced in Chapter 517, Florida Statutes. THEREFORE, Petitioner does not qualify for the exemptions from registration as a "dealer" as provided in section 517.021(6)(b)2., Florida Statutes, or as an "investment adviser" as provided in section
517.021(14)(b)3., Florida Statutes, and Petitioner must obtain or maintain appropriate licensure pursuant to Chapter 517, Florida Statute, to engage in the activities authorized for a dealer or investment adviser in the State of Florida.

The International Union of Painters and Allied Trades, AFL-CIO, Local Union 2301; The Petitioner requested that the Commission clarify language appearing at page nine of an order amending certification in which the Petitioner was designated as the certified bargaining agent for a unit of City of Fort Myers (City) nonprofessional employees. In re Petition of Fort Myers City Employees Union, to Amend Certification No. 614, Order No. 16E-107 (PERC 2016); 42 FPER ¶ 304 (2016). According to the petition, the City interprets the language in the order to require that the Petitioner obtain new cards specifically authorizing dues deductions on its behalf. Until such time as it receives new authorization cards, the City contends that it has no duty to further deduct dues. The Petitioner interprets the language to require that the City continue to deduct dues on behalf of employees who signed authorization cards prior to the filing of the amendment to certification petition, but that the City is to forward the dues to the Petitioner, rather than to the prior certified bargaining agent. The Petitioner and the City sought a declaratory statement regarding their respective rights and responsibilities regarding dues deductions. The Commission declined to rule on this question because the issue has ripened into an actual controversy. A petition for declaratory statement is not the appropriate procedure for resolving an existing dispute. To the extent that either party is entitled to any relief, the proper procedure is to file an unfair labor practice charge.
-
Check Mart of Florida, Inc. dba The Check Cashing Store on April 20, 2016.; The original Petition sought a declaratory statement as to whether Petitioner’s proposed business model of offering check cashing services to Florida residents via a mobile phone application feature which can be accessed (via a customer's mobile phone) requires additional licensing under Chapter 560, Florida Statutes.
On April 20, 2016, the Office filed the Notice of receipt of Petition for Declaratory Statement in the Florida Administrative Register, Vol. 42, No. 79.
On May 27, 2016, the Petition was withdrawn.
