What City of Largo does

The City of Largo is a municipal government entity incorporated on June 6, 1905, located in Pinellas County on the Gulf Coast of West Central Florida. It is the 4th largest city in the Tampa Bay Metropolitan Statistical Area (population 3,160,627), serving approximately 84,341 residents across 18.72 square miles and 41,411 households. The city operates under a commission-manager form of government with a Mayor (Woody Brown), City Commission, and City Manager (Henry Schubert), delivering services through 13 departments including Fire Rescue, Police, Public Works, Recreation Parks and Arts, Community Development, Environmental Services, the Public Library, and Emergency Preparedness.

The city's service delivery rests on a mix of physical infrastructure and digital platforms. Core technology includes the Largo Civic Access Portal (LCAP) on TylerHost (formerly Energov) for online permitting, inspection, and licensing; the Revize content management system powering largo.com; the Everbridge-powered Alert Pinellas emergency notification system; and specialized infrastructure including drone pre-storm stormwater inspections and robotic camera sewer line inspections. The city maintains 640 acres of parkland, 4,500 acres of total park space, and operates the Highland Family Aquatic Center, Largo Golf Course, and Central Park Performing Arts Center.

Revenue is generated through a diversified municipal revenue stack rather than commercial sales. Primary streams include property taxes (5.6200 mills), monthly utility fees for trash/recycling ($21.18), sewer ($18.80), stormwater ($6.65), and reclaimed water ($10), utility taxes and franchise fees (6-10%), business tax receipts, permit and inspection fees, facility rentals, and the voter-approved Penny for Pinellas one-cent countywide sales tax projected to deliver approximately $100M for city projects over 2020-2030. Customer segments include residents (primary), businesses (primary), senior residents, and visitors/tourists, all served through a direct-to-government delivery model.

• City of Clearwater, Florida: Adjacent Pinellas County municipality of comparable population (~117K residents) operating a full-service commission-manager government with similar service portfolios (fire, police, utility billing, permitting, recreation, library). Highly comparable on revenue mix, scale, and Gulf Coast Florida operating context.
