The following pages provide information regarding the City of Tampa's budget for the
fiscal year beginning October 1, 1997 and ending September 30, 1998. Some highlights in
this budget are funds to relocate the Police Department to a new headquarters building
downtown and into two new district buildings. Funds are also provided to continue
neighborhood clean-ups with the Parks Department NEAT program, provide parks and
recreation facility renovations, and construct a new Sulphur Springs pool and recreation
area.
I hope that you will take the time to learn about your City budget. My
administration will continue to pursue the goal of providing you with very high levels of
service while keeping taxes and fees as low as possible.
