Take Action: Ask City Council to Plan First
St. Petersburg is making a once-in-a-generation decision about nearly 90 acres of publicly owned land at the heart of the city.
If you believe City Council should stop the proposal process and insist on planning first — in public, with real community input — this is how to make that clear.
Your message will be sent to City Council from Home Runs Matter.
Replies go directly to you.
City Council receives a real resident message — not a form letter or petition.
What to Say (in Your Own Words)
Short, personal messages carry the most weight. In your own words, you might mention:
Why this decision matters to you or your family
Why the City should plan first before accepting proposals
Why City Council should keep control of the site by approving the plan first
Why a Community Advisory Council would help City Council make a better decision
Even a few sentences are enough. Please don’t copy language from the website — your own words matter most.
Attend City Council (Optional but Important)
It makes a real difference when Council members see residents present.
This issue is expected to come before City Council at the following meetings:
January 8 at 9:00 a.m.
January 15 at 3:00 p.m.
If you’re willing to attend one of these meetings, please indicate that in the form.
You don’t need to speak.
You don’t need to be an expert.
Being there matters.
If you say yes, I’ll follow up with simple details so you know what to expect.
One Last Note
Thank you for taking a moment to speak up. Decisions of this magnitude are only made well when City Council hears directly from many voices across the community.
