City attorney's study, if you would look at the Charter Review Commission's proposed language at 6.05 for consistency with the charter and what was voted on by the citizens of the city of Tampa and how we can fix it. Fix that for consistency. We're putting a pen in 6.06.”

“It would probably be, I mean, I think, I agree with Councilwoman Hertek. If we wanted to do this by, I think ordinance would be better. That would take, that would leave, the gravitas would be there and it would eliminate this stuff, the back and forth we have on this. Councilman Vieira, then Councilman Miranda. How much does the mayor presently make?”

“You know what I want to set in stone? This assertion has been repeated so many times about part-time, full-time. This is not a part-time job. And by the way, the mayor's position is not a part-time job. It doesn't differentiate itself in the charter. We are working. I know Councilwoman Young, you were here when I got here yesterday. You were here when I left yesterday. I mean, so I mean, we know how this goes. Councilman Maniscalco.”

“Yeah, no, I just wanted, because, you know, the most inaccurate assertion, if repeated often enough, assumes an error of truth. And that is what's happened with this, is people keep repeating, oh, it's a part, no, it's not. It doesn't say it's a part-time job. It doesn't say it's a, it's just a, it's just a job. it is just a job no more than any no more than when you get hired with anything you know any other type of leadership type of you know if you're a ceo or you're whatever you are a director of a company it's a job it doesn't tell you it's a full-time job or part-time job it's not like…”

“Well, let's stop there for one second because I think what he just brought up is something that we probably, while we're in this process, let's talk about this. And as you're reviewing this, maybe you could throw this into review. Because of the change in state law of when we have to notify the state of millage It does not coincide with when we passed our millage for legislative. Do we have a conflict and does that have to be resolved?”
City Council · Sep 24, 2026
- Play at 2:55:41
“Or are we bound? Well, in other words, since you were doing that, that's why I wanted to throw that out there. So when you're doing that review, if you could look at that in your review, so if we had to make some modification to be in compliance, I think this would be an appropriate time to look at it.”

“I'll support it. Because of legal's recommendation to leave it in, I think I would give them the difference.”

“So for right now, I think we have a motion to accept the language of Section 7.05 from the Charter Review Commission. Is there any objection? Hearing no objections, unanimous consent, yes. Okay, we'll accept that. Okay, now we're adding, going back to the 7.12 on the progress. Again, I think this should be an ordinance.”
