Who are we? The beautiful Sunshine City!#
Fourth largest city in Florida, largest municipality in Pinellas
County, which as a peninsula, is surrounded on 3 sides by water.
Growing, thriving, prospering.
Contrary to popular belief, we are NOT: a big retirement
home.

We are NOT a target for hurricanes#
We are NOT a stagnant cesspool of disease carrying mosquitoes
waiting to infect the world with ZIKA!#
We ARE, as our Mayor Rick Kriseman says, a place where the sun
shines on ALL who live, work, and play.#
Baseball (played inside) Go Rays!#
International destination: city of arts and culture, major
sporting events like Grand Prix#
Beaches and wildlife.#
And a place where we, as City staff, are tasked with maintaining
our critical infrastructure and City services so that residents and
visitors alike can enjoy the highest possible quality of life.#
