St. Pete Mayor-elect Charlie Crist plans community conversations

St. Petersburg Mayor-elect Charlie Crist will hold a series of listening sessions with residents as he prepares to take over City Hall in January. Why it matters: The free public meetings will offer residents a chance to share their ideas with Crist ahead of his swearing-in on Jan. 7. State of play: The Collaborative Labs at St. Petersburg College will run each of the five sessions, which haven't been scheduled yet, per a news release from Crist's transition team. The dates and locations will be posted to Crist's transition website , which also includes a form for residents to share feedback. Crist's team is also seeking applicants interested in working at City Hall, on the transition team, on a city board or commission, or as a volunteer. Find information on how to apply here . Zoom in: Each conversation will revolve around one of Crist's five "Guiding Lights" for his administration, similar to current Mayor Ken Welch's " Pillars for Progress ." Open stands for a transparent City Hall that will establish an Office of Open Government "on day one," per the release. Steady stands for services and public safety, particularly as the city faces a projected $33 million shortfall
