NEW TAMPA - Prospective candidates are waiting until the last minute to qualify for community development district seats in some New Tampa neighobrhoods.
With less than 24 hours left before Friday’s noon deadline, nobody has qualified to run for any of the three available seats in Cory Lake Isles. Incumbents Gene Thomason, Suzanne Manzi and Roger Brown all face election for the first time, but none has filed paperwork with the Hillsborough County Supervisor of Elections. Several residents who applied for an open seat on the board said they would run in November.
“I’m expecting them to come in en masse,” elections official Tim Bridge said. “I’ve had a lot of calls from Cory Lake Isles, so I know there’s interest.”
Live Oak Preserve’s CDD also is transitioning from developer to homeowner control, and has three seats up for election. But newly appointed supervisor Kurt Callarman is the only candidate to qualify so far.
