Public Hearing Pursuant to Chapt 166, F.S. & CR 3.601 – 5/26/20
1. This bill appropriates $2,200,000 from the General Fund/GSD Fund Balance (i.e.
Operating Reserves) for the following improvements/repairs at TIAA Bank Stadium:
• Sports lights replacement and tower repairs - $1,200,000
• Escalator and elevator repairs - $750,000
• Field drainage system repairs - $250,000
2. Projects like these are usually funded through the ticket surcharges or the
Convention Development Tax; however, both of these funding sources have been fully
allocated to other projects and will likely experience a shortfall due to COVID-19.
DISCUSSION
1. The FY 2019/20 budget for the ticket surcharge revenue included an appropriation for
elevator upgrades. How do the upgrades differ from the repairs?
2. Given that there will likely be revenue shortfalls in the convention development tax,
how will the City cover any other projects that are already in progress this year?
