Pursuant to the Florida Sunshine Law, I hereby request the following records:

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

Hi David,
Upon coordinating with applicable City departments, although some final departmental responses are pending, the attached records have been identified to date responsive to your subject request(s) (copies attached). Also, additional information pertinent to your requests may be found on the City of Tampa's website at the following links:
https://www.tampagov.net/emergency-management/covid-19 ; and,
https://www.tampagov.net/emergency-management/covid-19-faq#events .
As you are aware, the COVID-19 global pandemic has required certain government facilities to close due to the President and State officials' mandates to limit the gathering of individuals in public spaces. With related closures or significantly scaled-back staff of certain city facilities, we are using our best efforts to gather the documents you requested and respond as timely as possible.
We are working to obtain all pending final responses, and will provide further information as soon as available regarding any additional responsive records which may be identified. Thank you for your patience, and have a good evening,
