TAMPA, Fla. — Mayor Jane Castor spoke Wednesday about enhancing transparency and accountability measures, in the wake of controversy with two different City Council members.

It started last month with the resignation of John Dingfelder, and continued more recently with harassment allegations against Orlando Gudes.

On Tuesday, Amanda Lynn Hurtak was tapped to represent District 3, replacing Dingfelder. Gudes stepped down as Council chair, but remains in his post.

"The residents of Tampa deserve the most transparent and ethical government possible so we can get back to doing the business of the people and serving our residents," Castor said, calling what happened with Gudes and Dingfelder "isolated cases that do not reflect on the majority of Tampa’s City Council."

Castor said her administration is modernizing its process for handling public records requests, with a new portal to make public records responses more efficient. The city also has purchased software to capture and retain records on employees’ phones more easily.

Castor is also asking the city Ethics Commission to review current ethics standards and requirements for lobbyist disclosures and registrations, as well as ethics enforcement processes and conflict of interest disclosure requirements of all elected city officials.

And all city employees will have to watch or attend a Sunshine Law refresher.
