Honoring Rev. Watson L. Haynes II
Council moved to name the Enoch Davis Center auditorium for the late civil-rights-era leader. Family and the Urban League backed it; some longtime friends argued a bigger tribute — a building or street — is warranted, and noted St. Pete College plans its own naming.
Historic Gas Plant cemetery archaeology
Council initiated a local historic landmark application for the historic Greenwood Cemetery in Roser Park.
City Vehicle Usage and Monitoring
After the DoorDash incident involving a city vehicle, council referred a policy and monitoring-technology review to committee — but some members see it as an HR matter, not a council one.
Albert Whitted Airport Hangar Replacement
A resident noted two years have passed since 32 hangars were destroyed, urging faster completion of the no-cost concrete hangar replacement agreement.
