City code changes address abnormal water bills

The St. Petersburg City Council has approved several code changes to help protect residents from receiving exorbitant water bills - particularly in the wake of a natural disaster.

Thousands of households incurred excessive charges for abnormal water usage after Hurricanes Helene and Milton. Noreen McClure addressed council members Thursday on behalf of her mother, 92, who owes the city over $10,000 for a vacant home with no detected leaks.

Former SHINE director launches public art consultancy

After nine years with the SHINE Mural Festival, the last seven as its director, Jenee Priebe has struck out on her own. She has launched No Good Deeds Art, a public art consulting and management company.

“Through my experience with SHINE,” Priebe said, “I had heard from so many other cities, counties and businesses that were all interested in producing murals, or producing mural programming. Anything mural or public art related. There’s a huge need for services there, and direction, for people that may not be familiar with murals or public art.”
