Approve Tampa Bay Partnership Memorandum Of Understanding.
SUMMARY:
The Tampa Bay Partnership (TBP) and the Economic Development Organizations (EDOs) in the seven-county Tampa Bay region have
recognized the strength and successes of regional collaboration and cooperation and have become partners in the process of shaping
Tampa Bay's economy and ultimately, our quality of life.
It is the intent of this document to reflect a new environment for regional economic development in the Tampa Bay region. The Tampa
Bay Partnership and its economic development partners understand the need for a regional business development program that
identifies, coordinates, and pursues significant opportunities to enhance and grow key sectors through business attraction/expansion and
policy/infrastructure/resource development.
This memorandum identifies the scope of the partnership between the TBP and the EDOs. This document is neither all-inclusive for
legally binding, rather a document offering guidelines for the process of developing and sustaining mutually understood roles and
responsibilities for the TBP and the individual EDOs as we create a new way of doing regional economic development.
The City has participated at the $50,000 Council of Governors Level since its inception. This is currently budgeted in the Economic
Development and Housing Department's budget.

Memorandum of Understanding
Section One. Guiding Spirit of Intent
1.1 The Tampa Bay Partnership (TBP) and the Economic Development Organizations
(EDOs) in the seven-county Tampa Bay region have recognized the strength and
successes of regional collaboration and cooperation and have become partners in
the process of shaping Tampa Bay's economy and ultimately, our quality of life.
1.2 It is the intent of this document to reflect a new environment for regional economic
development in the Tampa Bay region. The Tampa Bay Partnership and its economic
development partners understand the need for a regional business development
program that identifies, coordinates and pursues significant opportunities to
enhance and grow key sectors through business attraction/expansion and
policy/infrastructu re/resou rce development.
1.3 This memorandum identifies the scope of the partnership between the TBP and the
EDOs. This document is neither all-inclusive nor legally binding, rather a document
offering guidelines for the process of developing and sustaining mutually understood
roles and responsibilities for the TBP and the individual EDOs as we create a new
way of doing regional economic development.

Section Three.
Finance
The investment model of the Tampa Bay Partnership has been designed to provide regional
business leadership to the communities' economic development efforts. By design, this model
offers each EDO the ability to leverage an annual investment into significant programs,
products, se/Vices and policies that provide direct value back to each community se/Ved.
3.1 The EDOs value the collective total investment of the regional business community for
the programs that provide direct value to each community served and understands the
desire of the TBP to diversify their investor base among all of the communities.
3.2 The TBP agrees to work together (ie joint calls/presentations, list reviews, etc) with the
EDOs (if requested by the EDO) to contact and communicate with business leaders
identified as prospects for investment into the TBP. The TBP agrees that any
communication regarding investment into the regional effort must stress the importance
of investing into and strengthening the local efforts too.
3.3 All EDOs and the communities they represent are considered equal partners in the
regional economic development model and will be requested to reach an equal level of
annual investment (Economic Development Partner - Level 1) as outlined in the
attached Investment Addendum. The investment levels and corresponding benefits will
be outlined and reviewed annually.
3.4 The TBP may offer a fee for services for additional products/services as requested.
Section Four.
Advocacy
4.1 The EDOs value the regional advocacy role of the TBP and support efforts to
strengthen the region's policy and infrastructure issues that have an impact on
economic development including utilizing the Bay Area Legislative Delegation as a
mechanism for success.
4.2 The TBP values the unique role each EDO plays in its community in regards to
Advocacy and Public Policy and is sensitive to the scope and responsibilities of each. It
is recognized that while some EDOs have advocacy/policy responsibilities, others may
not. EDOs without advocacy/policy responsibilities will alert the TBP to the appropriate
community contact responsible for the specific issue under consideration.
4.3 The TBP and EDOs understand that there may be a diversity of opinions on issues.
The TBP and the EDOs agree to utilize the EDO Partners Council as a forum to
educate and to understand our differences.
4.4 The TBP and the EDOs will work together to identify and advocate for the
policy/infrastructure issues in each community that are regional in scope or can be
identified as having a significant impact to the region's economic development.
4.5 The TBP Policy Board is the appropriate authority to approve TBP advocacy efforts.

Section Five. Marketing & Research
Marketing and research has been the cornerstone of the Tampa Bay Partnership's program of
work and will continue to be the priority activity in this new business development model.
5.1 TBP will work with the EDOs to annually develop and implement an effective
economic development marketing program that will create awareness and
interest in the communities of Tampa Bay.
5.2 TBP and the EDOs together will work to identify specific target industries and
geographic markets to develop and coordinate regional strategies for growth. The
EDOs understand the strategies and success of target industry growth may provide
direct or indirect benefit to each community and a careful balance of target
industries must be considered to ensure a direct impact to all communities.
5.3 TBP will work with the EDOs to provide research to identify opportunities and
communicate strengths to the target industries and markets.
5.4 TBP will inclusively identify and define by name in all marketing materials, where
appropriate, the communities of Tampa Bay as "The Metro Areas of Tampa/St.
Petersburg/ClearwaterILakelandISarasota/BradentonNenice and the Counties of
Hernando, Hillsborough, Manatee, Pasco, Pinellas, Polk and Sarasota."
5.5 The EDOs can utilize the TBP for support of individual community marketing plans
including co-operative marketing programs.
5.6 The TBP will be identified as the primary contact for inquiry on all TBP marketing
materials and serve as a conduit for generating business inquiries for the EDOs.
5.7 EDOs agree to not directly market to businesses inside the communities of Tampa Bay.
The EDO agree to work together with existing companies that are pursuing
expansion/relocation plans that may include more than one community in Tampa Bay.
(see 6.17)
5.8 EDOs are encouraged to alert the TBP to inquiries that cannot be served by that
community and may be better served by another community of Tampa Bay.
5.9 To ensure the accountability of resources, the TBP will provide the EDOs with monthly
reports to identify activity and track results of marketing programs.

Section Six.
Relationship Management
The foundation of success will be built on a commitment to honor the communication protocols
created and to provide timely feedback on issues as they arise. Additionally, the new business
development program requires a carefully coordinated process that clearly identifies roles and
responsibilities for the Tampa Bay Partnership and the EDOs.
6.0 The TBP is expected to notify the EDO prior to set appointments with local government
officials and elected leadership to ensure the EDO understands the purpose and
expected outcomes. The discipline of this communication protocol is critical to the
mutual success of both the TBP and the partner EDO.
6.1 The TBP and the EDOs agree to provide the client with a seamless service process.
The TBP and EDOs will work together closely knowing that every deal is uniquely
different and requires tremendous communication skills and process flexibility to react to
the needs of the client.
6.2 The EDOs value the initial contacts and relationships built by the TBP's marketing
and business development process.
6.3 The TBP values the role of each EDO as the point of contact and primary manager
for that community for any project seeking sites/buildings, incentives, community-
specific demographics, workforce development assistance, permitting/regulatory
assistance and other services requested to ensure a safe landing.
6.4 The TBP will review and qualify all appropriate business development inquiries
received by contacting each inquiry directly.
It will be requested that EFI copy the TBP on any leads distributed to a Tampa Bay
EDO for the purpose of providing regional resources. When deemed appropriate by
the recipient EDO(s), the TBP and the recipient EDO(s) will cooperate to enhance
the response.
6.5 The TBP will provide initial screening of TBP inquiries to eliminate low grade or
inappropriate opportunities.
6.6 The TBP will provide the EDOs with well researched and quality projects.
6.7 The TBP will categorize inquiries as follows:
Group A - Prospects:
Group B - Suspects:
Group C - Rejects
Distributed to EDOs for follow-up
TBP to follow-up/or distributed to EDOs (if appropriate)
No follow-up needed
6.8 Group A Prospects are defined as legitimate companies, capable of expansion or
relocation. The contact person must appear to have decision making authority. The
proposed project must meet minimum standards for employment and/or investment
levels of 10 jobs/10,000 sq feet within three years of landing. The proposed project
must be actively seeking a project start date within 24months of initial contact.

Attachment number 1
Page 5 of 7
6.9 Group B Suspects are defined as inquiries that may be legitimate leads but lack any
number of key elements required for prospect status. At the discretion of the TBP,
appropriate Group B Suspects may be distributed to EDOs for follow-up.
6.10 Group C Rejects are defined as inquiries that are not found to be legitimate.
6.11 The TBP will distribute all Group A prospects to all the EDOs (unless site selection
decisions have already been confirmed) with a detailed summary and back-up
research on the company, requirements, special requests and relationship
information needed for each EDO to provide a response for that community.
6.12 Group A prospects that contact the TBP with a specific site already pre-determined
will be distributed only to the corresponding EDO.
6.13 Each EDO will provide an initial response of interest to the TBP and provide the TBP
with regular updates of activity conducted for each Group A project. These updates
will occur through appropriate contact with the TBP and through bi-monthly
meetings of the Marketing Committee.
6.14 The TBP will maintain contact and follow-up with all TBP Group A Prospects
monthly or as directed by the prospect until the project has either selected a
specific site/community or closed the search.
This contact will help to identify opportunities/threats and provide EDOs ongoing
updates with intelligence identified/support needed.
6.15 Upon selection of a specific site or community by the Group A Prospect, the EDO
becomes the primary contact and the TBP agrees to not contact the prospect unless
directed by the EDO or initiated by the client.
6.16 The TBP will continue to contact and work directly with all B-prospects and will seek
assistance from the EDOs for data, industry expertise, contacts, and ideas to either
re-qualify the project as a Group A Prospect or Group C Reject.
6.17 In cases of an inquiry from an existing company in a community of Tampa Bay, the
TBP with client permission will contact the representing EDO. The EDO will be
responsible for follow-up with the existing company and will report back to the TBP
within 30 days and recommend a strategy for follow-up.
If an EDO receives an inquiry from an existing company in a community of Tampa
Bay, the receiving EDO is encouraged to seek client permission and encouraged to
alert the EDO representing the community of the existing company.
6.18 When successfully landing a project initiated by or worked in conjunction with the
TBP, the EDO is encouraged to seek client permission to alert and include the TBP
at every opportunity in appropriate announcements and events celebrating the
success.

Report on Community Land Trusts for Affordable Housing
SUMMARY:
To address the shortage of affordable housing units, communities across the nation have turned to the Community Land
Trust (CL T) concept as a method to make affordable housing delivery more feasible and housing subsidies more long
lasting. A Community Land Trust (CL T) is a community-based, non-profit organization whose basic mission is to acquire
and hold land for affordable housing on a long-term basis.
Staff investigated the CL T concept for potential application in the City of Clearwater and prepared a white paper to
provide an overview of the CL T concept, implications for establishing a CL T program and examples of CL T programs
in Florida.
Staff also analyzed Pinellas County's Community Land Trust program and prepared a memorandum with recommendations.

RE:
Community Land Trust for Affordable Housing
BACKGROUND
To address the shortage of affordable housing units, communities across the nation have turned
to the Community Land Trust (CL T) concept as a method to make affordable housing delivery
more feasible and housing subsidies more long lasting. A Community Land Trust (CL T) is a
community-based, non-profit organization whose basic mission is to acquire and hold land for
affordable housing on a long-term basis.
Staff investigated the CL T concept for potential application in the City of Clearwater and
prepared the attached white paper to provide an overview of the CL T concept, implications for
establishing a CL T program and examples of CL T programs in Florida.
In Pinellas, the Housing Finance Authority of Pinellas County (HFA) has initiated a countywide
CL T program. The Pinellas CL T will be operated by HFA under the Community Housing
Program authorized by Interlocal agreement with Pinellas County. The intent of the Pinellas CL T
program is to support owner housing, mixed-use communities, adaptive reuse projects, multi-
family residential properties, artists-in-residence communities, special needs housing, and
workforce housing. HFA hopes to partner with local governments, business, schools, churches
and private individuals to assemble land suitable for development and redevelopment.
HFA is currently drafting a strategic plan for the Pinellas CL T program to provide guidance
relative to roles, structure, funding and other considerations. Staff has reviewed the draft plan
and outlined the significant components in the attached memorandum.
ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS
The merits of the CL T concept are widely held as evidenced by the array of local governments
employing this program. The prospect of subsidy retention and continued availability of
affordable units is very attractive to communities that face affordable housing needs.
As such, the decision to pursue a local CL T program would predominantly center on the effort
involved in program start-up and administration. Start-up activities would include the
establishment and staffing of a non-profit organization, including a board of directors and, in
some cases, a member organization. The organization would require a good degree of effort
toward member retention and recruitment. CL T staff would work closely with builders and
developers to coordinate housing development, perform intake of households and education of
prospective and existing homeowners on the CL T program and equity sharing provisions.
Item # 3
Attachment number 1

The CL T organization would be charged with the development of the ground lease stipulations,
including the resale formula that keeps CL T units affordable in perpetuity. CL T staff would
administer the program by managing ground leases, coordinating re-sales of homes and serving
as a property management company.
CL Ts have start-up costs and ongoing operating expenses that require a plan that strives for
financial independence. Land for CL T projects must be acquired through land donations,
developer agreements, cash donations and certain housing subsidy programs.
These activities and many of the expenses associated with the Pinellas CL T are being borne by
HFA. The Pinellas CL T program is available throughout the county and may be utilized by
municipal jurisdictions to further the provision of affordable housing locally. Municipalities may
donate land and participate in developer agreements that govern the density, design and
character of the end product. The land may be donated to the CL T at any time in the
development process.
RECOMMENDATION
Based on review of the CL T concept and components, CL T programs in other communities and
program elements of the Pinellas CL T program, we recommend that the City:
1. Partner with HFA, in its capacity as CL T, to expand opportunities for delivery of affordable
housing within Clearwater by donating City-owned property for CL T housing projects, as
feasible.
2. In conjunction with a donation of City-owned property for a CL T housing project, execute a
binding agreement as part of the conveyance documents with the HFA, as CL T, stipulating
the following:
· Housing type(s) and tenure
· Applicable land use and development standards
· Reverter clause stating that property will revert to the grantor (City) if the property is
not used for affordable housing or if the CL T is no longer able to perform according to
its agreement with the City; and
· Other provisions, as appropriate.
3. Request City representation on the CL T board of directors and/or member organization, as
appropriate.
It is my understanding that the City Manager would like a formal discussion item with the
Council at the February 4th Work Session. We can prepare a presentation and invite Pinellas
County representatives to participate in the discussion and answer questions about the CL T.

RE:
Pinellas County Community Land Trust Program Strategic Plan (draft)
The Housing Finance Authority of Pinellas County (HFA) has initiated a countywide CL T
program. The program will support owner housing, mixed-use communities, adaptive reuse
projects, multi-family residential properties, artists-in-residence communities, special needs
housing, and workforce housing. The HFA hopes to partner with local governments, business,
schools, churches and private individuals to assemble land suitable for development and
redevelopment.
The HFA, in conjunction with the Florida Housing Coalition, is currently drafting the Pinel/as
County Community Land Trust, A Strategic Plan (December 2007). The plan will provide
guidance relative to roles, structure, funding and other considerations for the CL T program. Staff
has reviewed the draft plan and outlined the significant components below.
Primary Benefits of the CL T
· Preservation of housing subsidy dollars.
· Retention of subsidized units in a permanent affordable housing stock through resale
restrictions.
Participants & Roles in Forming the CL T
· CL T homes will be developed by for and non-profit affordable housing providers.
· The CL T will be available throughout Pinellas County and may be utilized by municipal
jurisdictions to further the provision of affordable housing.
· Initial CL T activities will result in 30 to 40 homes and over 100 apartments.
· Most CL T homes will be sold to lower income buyers. Rental units will be owned and
managed by others with the ground lease governing the disposition of the property.
· Mixed income rental projects may participate in the land trust program with applicable rental
rates for the affordable units.
· The CL T will be operated by the HFA under the Community Housing Program authorized by
Inter-local agreement with Pinellas County.
· CL T responsibilities: Manage ground leases, coordinate re-sales of properties and operate
as a property management company.
Options for Structuring the Community Land Trust
· Basic types of CL Ts in Florida: 1) those initiated through local government action, and 2)
those initiated by a community group seeking to address certain problems.
Item # 3

Page 2 of2
· Government involvement: Most commonly, local governments assist the formation and
incubation of CL Ts, which become autonomous non-profit corporations. Local governments
can remain involved through contracts for services, providing operating assistance and
donating land.
· Inclusionary housing policy: The CL T can serve as a mechanism to preserve affordable
units provided as development mitigation or part of a larger agreement.
· Housing portfolio: Some CL Ts own rental housing, which not only remains affordable but
also provides income for the organization if structured to do so (note: ground lease fees
could affect affordability).
· Structure: 1) HFA will create and maintain a CL T program, which eliminates the need to
form a separate non-profit corporation. HFA will work closely with private sector builders and
developers to carry out the development of the homes, intake of households and education
of homeowners. 2) Later, HFA may desire to establish a separate subsidiary corporation.
· Member organization: The CL T is not being initiated as a member organization. However,
this option would be evaluated in the future once the CL T is up and running and has CL T
homeowners or residents. In the interim, low income persons or representatives should be
included on the CL T board of directors whether the organization is a member organization
or not.
· Resale formula: 1) Appreciation method allows homebuyers to keep 25% of the appreciation
on the home is most widely used and 2) sliding scale method allows greater appreciation
over time.
· Ground lease: 1) Recorded along with the mortgage and deeds or 2) a memorandum of
ground lease can be recorded in its place as a proxy in the public records.
Operating Funds for the Community Land Trust
· CL Ts have start up costs and ongoing operating expenses. It is recognized that the ground
lease fee itself is not a major income producer and cannot be expected to finance the
operation of the land trust.
· If the HFA supports the land trust in its initial stages, it will need to make a plan for being
independent in the future.
Land Acquisition for the Community Land Trust
· Land must be acquired through surplus land donations, developer agreements and by
donation. Housing subsidy funds can be used to purchase land but the program must be
structured to allow for the cost to remain with the land and endure transfers of the property
among income eligible buyers.
· The CL T has prospects in the pipeline for which land is already available.
· Land banking will become a vital component to the CL T program.
Land Use and Density Considerations
· CL T homes can be developed as detached, scattered site or attached multifamily buildings.
· Scarcity of affordable vacant land will require that higher densities be realized on new
development parcels.
· Condominiums ownership is possible for the land trust model, particularly if the entire
complex is under a land trust. For individual units purchased in a non-land trust community,
a deed covenant replaces the ground lease.

· Density bonuses through an inclusionary program could be employed as an incentive to
increasing the supply of affordable housing. Mixed-use developments can offer tiered pricing
that allows for the inclusion of lower cost units.

COMMUNITY LAND TRUSTS
FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING
INTRODUCTION
Pinellas County is facing an affordable housing crisis caused by the loss of affordable rental
units and mobile homes, increases in the price of ownership housing and significant increases
in construction costs. The county's dwindling supply of developable land further exacerbates the
problem by forcing up land costs. Adding high insurance rates and real estate taxes to the
equation increases the number of local, cost-burdened households. For some, the cost of
insurance and real estate taxes exceed mortgage payments.1
Only 26 percent of Pinellas County households can afford the median-priced home ($199,900),
and only 52 percent can afford the median-priced apartment ($960 per month). Forty-two
percent of Pinellas County households spent more than 30 percent of their gross household
income on housing in 2005, exceeding the affordability standard set by the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development; 18 percent spent more than 50 percent of their household
income.1
Coupled with comparatively high expenditures for transportation, Tampa Bay metro area
households spend on average 57.7 percent of household income on the basic necessities of
housing and transportation.2 This percentage is the highest among the 28 major U.S.
Metropolitan Statistical Areas. When combined, these factors are impacting the ability of local
employers to recruit and retain workers.
To address the shortage of affordable housing units, communities across the nation have turned
to the Community Land Trust (CL T) concept as a method to make affordable housing delivery
more feasible and housing subsidies more long lasting. This white paper provides an overview
of the CL T concept along with some of the implications for establishing a CL T.
COMMUNITY LAND TRUST CONCEPT
A Community Land Trust (CL T) is a community-based, non-profit organization whose basic
mission is to acquire and hold land for affordable housing for the benefit of target households
today and in the future.
The CL T, which is governed by a community-based board of directors, holds title to its land
holdings in perpetuity. Exclusive, possessory use of land is conveyed to individual homeowners
by means of a long-term ground lease (typically 99 years) that is assignable to the heirs of the
leaseholder and renewable at the end of the term. In this manner, the cost of land in the
purchase price of a dwelling is minimized or eliminated, making the dwelling more affordable
and assuring long-term stability and security for the homeowner.
Like other subsidy retention models, a major premise of the CL T is that housing subsidies are
recycled rather than lost. The CL T offers assistance for homeownership in exchange for the
homebuyer's agreement to resale terms. Via the resale formula in the ground lease, subsequent
sales of CL T dwellings are limited as to sales price and buyer eligibility. This mechanism allows

the housing subsidy to be reclaimed for the benefit of future homebuyers and eliminates the
need for additional subsidies when a CL T house is sold.

Subsidy Retention
The CL T sells or rents homes to target households
but retains ownership to the land under dwellings,
holding it "in trust" for future generations.
Target Households
· Very Low Income
· Low Income
· Moderate Income
Home Price
Specifies a resale formula that
balances the competing interests of
the current homeowner to realize
profits with that of future households
that need of an affordable home.
The CL T concept removes the land cost from
the price of a home by separating ownership of
the land from that of the home and other
improvements.
Equity Sharing
When a CL T homeowner sells the house, the
CL T retains the ownership of the land. In this
way, subsidies to purchase land stay with the
CL T in perpetuity.
COMMUNITY LAND TRUSTS IN OTHER COMMUNITIES
The CL T concept has evolved in the U.S. over the last 40 years.3 There are approximately 160
CL Ts operating currently in every region of the country and in 38 of the 50 states and the
District of Columbia. Internet research revealed 13 established CL T programs in Florida and two
more that are in process (see Appendix A). According to the Florida Housing Coalition, there are
presently about 100 CL Ts being formed in Florida.
The literature review revealed that great variation exists among CL Ts, indicating flexibility in
program elements that allow CL Ts to conform to conditions and circumstances unique to the
community. For example, the largest CL T (Burlington Community Land Trust, Vermont) has 640
units (370 owner-occupied and 270 rental apartments), while other CL Ts have relatively few

units in their portfolios. Not all CL Ts offer rental units, although almost one-half do. Also,
arrangements for payment of property taxes vary among CL Ts. Roughly 10 percent of CL Ts pay
no property taxes, and in 45 percent of CL Ts, the homeowner pays all the taxes.
ENABLING STATUTE
There is no statutory construct for CL Ts, although there is a federal definition found in the 1992
Cranston-Gonzales Act (42 U.S.C. 12773). Generally, a CL T will be a Community Housing
Development Organization (CHDO), with the specific purpose of acquiring land to hold in
perpetuity, transferring ownership of the structural improvements subject to the terms of the long
term ground lease.4
COMMUNITY LAND TRUST PROGRAM ELEMENTS
Organization
The CL T's mission and supporting activities are carried out by a community-based, non-profit
organization. The organization is governed by a board of directors with membership from the
neighborhoods it serves, the people it houses and the broader community that supports its
work. A majority of directors on a CL T board are elected by its membership. A third of the seats
are typically reserved for persons representing the interests of households living on CL T land.
Developing the CL T membership requires an assessment the particular CL T needs at the time.
Frequently, a non-profit organization that is already involved in developing or maintaining
affordable housing in the community can adapt easily from producing and selling house plus
land packages to selling house plus leasehold interest in land.5 Interest groups from which CL Ts
tend to have the greatest success in recruiting new members include:
· Leaseholders living on CL T land
· Homeowners not living on CL T land
· Tenants not living on CL T land
· Local employers
· Nonprofits providing services to the same
constituency
· Conservation and historic preservation
· Faith-based organizations
Common Roles of CL T Membership
Accessibility
Serving as the CL T's eyes and ears in the community, spotting unmet
needs, communicating complaints and keeping the organization open to
information and ideas from outside.
Accountability
Assisting in maintaining the credibility, acceptability, and authority of the
CL T from the perspective of the community. Members can help keep the
CL T closely aligned with the community vision and interests and issues,
while holding steadfast to the CL T's original vision and values.
Promoting and defending the CL T in the face of local skepticism about
this unfamiliar housing program and "nimbysm" opposition to CL T
projects.

Adopted CL T bylaws establish the purpose of the organization; roles and responsibilities of the
membership; composition, election/appointment, terms and duties of a board of directors;
provisions for land stewardship; etc. The CL T organization holds title to land and manages
ground leases on CL T properties. The organization maintains a stake in the relationship long
after the original house purchase and lease signing. For example, if buildings become
deteriorated, the CL T can force repairs. If a homeowner is at risk for mortgage default, the CL T
can act to forestall the default.
Service Area
CL Ts projects and membership are derived from a geographically defined service area. The
service area may be small or large in size or urban or rural in character. It may encompass a
single neighborhood, several neighborhoods, an entire municipality, an entire county or a multi-
county region. Most CL T service areas are oriented to a neighborhood or a municipality.
CL Ts that operate in an urban or metropolitan environment usually look within a single
municipality for support, although funding for operations and projects may be derived from
county and state sources.
Considerations for Establishing the CL T Service Area
Neighborhood
Service Area
Citywide
Service Area
CL T is viewed not only as a mechanism for the production of housing and the
preservation of affordability, but a vehicle for the comprehensive revitalization
of a targeted neighborhood.
Citywide CL Ts focus is the production of housing, the preservation of
affordability and the retention of subsidies. Resident control over housing
developed on the CL T's land, and community control over the CL T itself, may
be key features of a citywide CL 1. However, that "community" is not confined
to a single neighborhood. Projects are sited throughout the city and CL T
membership is drawn from every neighborhood.

Metropolitan
Service Area
Although most CL T activity is concentrated within a single city or within one
or two targeted neighborhoods, housing development opportunities are
aggressively pursued regionwide. Siting limited-equity cooperatives and
limited-equity single-family homes in communities that have had a
longstanding dearth of affordable housing, enable low-income households to
move not only upward on the housing tenure ladder (vertical mobility) but to
move outward from the center city, choosing the place they want to live
(horizontal mobility).

Community Development, LLC, 2007.
Ground Lease
Central to the CL T concept is the ground lease - a long-term lease of land only. The CL T and
the homeowner (leaseholder) agree to a ground lease agreement that spells out the rights and
responsibilities of both parties. Other components common to ground leases are shown in the
figure on page 6.
The ground lease includes a resale formula intended to balance the interests of individual
homeowners to benefit from the use of their home as a real estate investment and the interest
of the CL T to provide affordable housing for future homeowners.
Ground lease fees may be collected to cover the cost of running the organization. Aside from
bringing dollars into the organization, the receipt of these monthly fees serves as a critical
means of keeping in touch with land trust owners in a simple, non-bureaucratic, non-intrusive
manner.
Resale Provisions
In exchange for the opportunity to own or rent a home that a household might not otherwise be
able to afford, homebuyers agree to pass the housing opportunity along to others in accordance
with resale limitations. The CL T resale formula establishes the upper limit on the price for which
a CL T home may be resold, whether it is sold back to the CL T or sold directly to another
household. Once a CL T adopts a resale formula, the presumption is that it will be written in all of
the organization's ground leases and applied consistently.
Resale formulas encourage CL T homeowners to make improvements to their properties
because improvements will likely convey to the assessed value of a dwelling when sold. The
CL T also benefits when it is allowed to capture part of the appraised value when the dwelling is
sold.
Most CL Ts use some type of appraisal-based formula for its many practical attributes. However,
no resale formula is perfect. The pros and cons of each approach should be considered to
understand the trade-offs involved.

Funding
The Florida Housing Finance Corporation (FHFC) has committed $10 million for land acquisition
grant funds available to CL Ts. The following FHFC homeownership programs may be used in
the production of CL T housing:
· Home Investment Partnership Program (HOME) for State and Non-Participating
Jurisdictions
· Homeownership Pool (HOP)
· Homeownership Assistance Program (HAP) Construction/Permanent Loan
· Homeownership Assistance Program (HAP) Down Payment Assistance
· Single Family Mortgage Revenue Bond Program (SFMRB)
· Florida Community Loan Fund
Other typical funding sources for CL Ts include:
· Homebuyer fees
· Fees for services
· Public funding
· Private institutional grants
· Ground lease fees
· Gifting
· Grass-roots fund raising
· Development fees
· Federal, state, local funding
OTHER CL T CONSIDERATIONS
Tax Assessment
The CL T model envisions that the land will have one assessment and the improvements will
have another. In Florida, 501 (c) (3) non-profit status does not exempt the CL T from ad valorem
taxes on the land because the homeowner has a leasehold interest in the land, which the courts
have held to be the functional equivalent to ownership.6
The homeowner will enjoy homestead exemption on its leasehold property but the method of
value assessment for the home is less certain. CL Ts advocate for assessment based on the fair
market value of the CL T home, which is substantially restricted upon sale by the ground lease
resale provisions. While it makes legal and common sense to reduce the assessed value of a
CL T home based on this premise, not all county property appraisers do so.
CL T BENEFITS
From a public policy perspective, the CL T housing model has several benefits including:
Affordabi I ity
· By removing the cost of land and utilizing a resale formula that balances the homeowner's
equity interest with the affordability interest of the community, CL T housing is more
affordable than most other housing program.
· Less money is required to subsidize the purchase of a house than through a conventional
mortgage assistance program because the CL T does not have to subsidize the owner's
purchase of the land.

SO 2d 526 (Fla. 1997).

Itemg# 13

Page 12 of 25
Longevity
· The CL T model typically protects the public investment for renewable 99-year periods,
allowing one subsidy to continue for a century or longer. This benefit is far more permanent
than the average 20-year life span of most public housing subsidy programs.
· CL Ts promote permanent, long-term affordability of a community's housing stock while at
the same time preserving all public and private subsidies that were utilized to develop the
housing.
· CL T appeals to developers, foundations and funding agencies because the subsidy in which
they are a contributor has ongoing impact in meeting the affordable housing need.
Advocacy
· Many CL Ts can provide pre- and post home-buyer counseling, ongoing financial
management assistance and maintenance and repair assistance to help ensure successful,
long-term homeownership.
Flexibility
· CL Ts are flexible in the ways in which they respond to the distinctive needs of individual
communities. CL Ts accomplish several goals at one time and function well in a variety of
real estate markets.
Community
· CL Ts stabilize distressed neighborhoods by reducing absentee ownership and keeping
wealth in the neighborhood. Dollars paid to absentee landowners often leave the community
to be spent and invested elsewhere.
· In rare circumstances where a homeowner may default on their mortgage, the homes
remain under the CL T's care and are not be lost to the market or absentee ownership.
· CL Ts prevent displacement and preserve the income diversity of neighborhoods making this
technique an antidote to unintended gentrification and increased housing costs that often
accompany revitalization/redevelopment initiatives.
· CL T homes have shown increases in value over time which can help stabilze a
neighborhood's tax base.
· Expanded opportunities for workforce housing means that essential service personnel will
be able to afford to live within the communities they serve.
· CL T homes support residential stability as homeowners typically live in a community three
times longer than renters. A less transient neighborhood reinforces pride in ownership and
interest in community involvement.
· The community-based CL T organization promotes civic participation and nurtures new
leadership to build civic capacity.
Equity
· Property appreciation affords CL T homeowners more wealth upon sale of the home than
when the homeowner purchased the home.
· CL T homeowners enjoy the best of both worlds - equity ownership and tax deductions plus
the kind of long-term affordability that is most typical of rental housing.
· The purchase of a CL T home by a low-income household can be middle step to get ahead
(i.e., getting out of consumer debt, reducing debt to income ratio-while still building equity in
a home and in a community). The monthly housing savings can be large for a CL T
homeowner.
· Research has shown that when participating CL T households sold their homes, three-
fourths went on to purchase market rate homes in their neighborhoods within six months of
the sale.

CL T CHALLENGES
Membership Development and Retention
· As with any fledgling organization, recruiting and retaining the right CL T members is
challenging.
Financing
· Not all financial institutions grant mortgages on CL T properties. However, CL T structures
are FHA approved for those institutions that offer FHA mortgage loans and Fannie and
Freddie approved in the secondary market.
Educating CL T Homebuyers
· It is extremely difficult for many potential buyers to grasp the idea of limited return on equity.
CL T stability can be threatened by homebuyers who were not fully aware of the CL T
structure at the time of purchase.
· The opportunity to own a home can often cause purchasers to overlook or ignore the details
of a transaction, regardless of how well it is explained. Effective pre- and post-purchase
information and counseling to ensure on-going understanding of the program are critical.
Building Consensus on the Resale Formula
· A new CL T should involve as many people as possible, representing as many
constituencies as possible, in the process of designing the limited equity formula. The
process should be gradual enough and inclusive enough to earn the full understanding and
support of most, if not all, CL T members.
CONCLUSIONS
The CL T model is an attractive institutional mechanism for providing and maintaining the stock
of affordable housing. Like other housing subsidy programs, CL Ts create initial affordability but
go a step further to preserve long-term affordability. Continuing interest in CL T lands means that
the organization is highly involved in successful homeownership by leaseholders. The CL T
model is sufficiently flexible to meet unique community conditions and housing needs.
Among other benefits, CL T housing provides residents with shelter, security of tenure and
access to credit for non-real estate, asset accumulation strategies. However, there must be a
thorough understanding that individual real estate profits are limited by the resale formula.
The literature suggests starting off with a small prototype project to allow the CL T to get
internally organized and focused, and to build community trust. Policy issues such as the
taxation, subsidization and the mortgaging of CL T houses must be explored.

ApPENDIX A: COMPENDIUM OF COMMUNITY LAND TRUST PROGRAMS (FLORIDA)
Established CL T Programs
Pinel/as County (2006)
The Housing Finance Authority of Pinellas County (HFA) recently established a Community
Land Trust program. The Pinellas CL T model is intended to support owner housing, mixed-use
communities, adaptive reuse projects, multi-family residential properties, artists-in-residence
communities, special needs housing and workforce housing. The HFA hopes to partner with
local governments, business, schools, churches and private individuals to assemble land
suitable for development and redevelopment.
An Interlocal agreement between HFA and the Board of County Commissioners provides for
transfer of surplus county-owned land into the CL T. An open, competitive process will allow
non-profit and for-profit developers and other housing providers to submit creative proposals for
incorporating affordable units into the development process. In return, a significant part of the
land costs are eliminated from the construction financing and results in a lower home sales
price, commercial lease cost or apartment rent. As CL T, HFA will be responsible for
management of ground leases, coordination of re-sales of properties and operations as the
property management entity.
Charlotte County (2005)
Like many high-growth Florida counties, Charlotte County is experiencing a housing crisis due
to substantial increase in the cost of land and escalating construction costs. The Charlotte
County Board of Commissioners recognize that the Peace River Housing Trust, in partnership
with the Housing Corporation of Charlotte County, will play an important role as a steward of
community resources, assisting residents in the pursuit of home ownership and recovery from
Hurricane Charley. The Charlotte County Board of Commissioners set aside $750,000 for
establishing the CL 1.
De/ray Beach (2005)
The City and the Delray Beach Redevelopment Agency created the Delray Beach Community
Land Trust (DBCL T), an independent, 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, to own and manage land
for the benefit of the community. The DBCL T is governed by a twelve member tri-partite board
of directors whose membership includes: one third current leaseholders, one third community
residents, and one third other public and private community stakeholders.
Initially, the trust offered the program to homeowners in an area where the CRA was
assembling land for a redevelopment project. In exchange for a home and home site,
homeowners were given an opportunity to purchase a newly constructed home.
The DBCL T properties can include a variety of housing, such as single- family homes, duplexes,
town homes, condominium units, small multi-unit buildings, as well as undeveloped land. The
organization's initial focus is on acquiring buildable land and existing attached and detached
single-family dwellings. Properties will be located on scattered sites throughout Delray Beach.
To date, 10 land trust homes are occupied. In the next year, the trust anticipates to have 100
units in its portfolio. Houses sell from $150,000 to $180,000 before subsidies. Many people,
depending on income, qualify for up to $75,000 in subsidies. Houses are sold on a first come,
first ready basis. The trust obtains its funding for land and construction via interest-free loans

from the CRA. Instead of buyers having to get construction loans, the trust takes out the loans
and pays the CRA back with sales proceeds. Because the trust is tax-exempt, in most cases it
doesn't have to pay property taxes.
Escambia County (2003)
In 2000, the University of West Florida Haas Center for Business Research and Economic
Development in Partnership with the Community Outreach Partnership Center analyzed the
business opportunities in five economically disadvantaged Pensacola neighborhoods-
Brownsville, Morris Court, Belmont, Eastside, and Englewood.
By acquiring land, the Escambia County Community Land Trust, Inc. (ECCL T) will give cause to
bring together all the components required to generate economic growth in targeted
neighborhoods. These components include physical capital (land & dilapidated housing), human
capital (available workforce) and financial capital (bank financing). The ECCL T gives preference
to those contractors, subcontractors and suppliers who have offices located in the target areas
and a documented history of employing inhabitants of the target areas.
Key West (1995)
Started in 1995, the Bahama Conch Community Land Trust (BCCL T) of Key West is Florida's
oldest community land trust. It has restored and sold seven homes, and converted another into
a rental property, in the city's predominantly minority Bahama Village neighborhood. The historic
Bahama Village became a target for development in the early years of this decade because of
its strategic location at the nascent Truman Waterfront Park.
The Key West City Commission approved the holding of a referendum that will allow the City to
negotiate a 99-year lease of 6.6 acres of the Truman Waterfront for the development of what is
known as Bahama Conch Village by the BCCL T. Uses on the land would include approximately
60-70 affordable housing units, a cultural arts center, small business retail spaces and a youth
development and/or convention center.
Beyond providing affordable housing, the BCCL T is currently developing a youth job-training
program, enabling young adults from the community to learn valuable skills such as carpentry,
contracting, construction, electric work and renovation and repair.
Monroe County (2000)
The non-profit Middle Keys Community Land Trust was incorporated to provide affordable
housing homeownership and rental opportunities for the workforce in Monroe County. The all-
volunteer board of directors represents a cross section of affordable housing advocates
representing the City of Marathon, Florida Department of Community Affairs, local businesses,
community activists, Monroe County and the Sheriff's Department. The trust allows a
homeowner to get three percent of the home's increase in value each year or the same
percentage as the Keys' annual increase in median income, whichever is lower.
Palm Beach County (2005)
Adopt-A-Family was founded by three Palm Beach County women who recognized the need to
help families with children who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. Adopt-A-Family's
newest program, a Community Land Trust, offers a realistic solution to the lack of affordable
housing in Palm Beach County. The CL T provides permanent affordable housing - rental and
homeownership - in perpetuity for those earning less than 30% of the area median income. The
CL T operates in conjunction with its own advisory board, consisting in equal numbers of CL T

residents, fellow neighborhood residents and community leaders. This board ensures that both
the residents' and the community's best interests are protected.
Sarasota County (2005)
The Community Housing Trust of Sarasota County is a countywide organization that plans to
build 3,000 housing units over the next 10 years. Buyers would own the structure and pay a
nominal rent of $25 a month. If homeowners want to sell, they would receive 25 percent of the
appreciation on the sale, the remainder rolling back into the trust to ensure permanent
affordability. The trust will acquire single lots and larger tracts by purchase or donation.
Approved developers would build homes on the trust's land without buying it and factoring its
value into their homes' prices.
Winter Park (2006)
The Hannibal Square Community Land Trust is a community initiative to establish sustainable
affordable housing for Winter Park's historic African-American community. To reverse the trend
of disinvestment and blight, city planners undertook a collaborative effort with residents,
architects and contractors working through the Hannibal Square Community Land Trust.
Although median prices for three bedroom homes in the area approach $300,000, units
developed through the trust sold for only $126,000. Home sellers receive a limited amount of
price appreciation (25%) and the remaining value stays with the trust to ensure that the homes
remain affordable for the next owners.

Destin workers at affordable prices.
St. Petersburg
The St. Petersburg Neighborhood Housing Services (SPNHS) is currently in the development
phase of its Community Land Trust. Ten homes will be built under the first phase of the
SPNHSCL T Program. The ten homes will be constructed in St. Petersburg for sale to low-
income families.

Council OKs rezoning for town house project
August 25, 2007
TAMPA - The Tampa City Council has approved rezoning property for a town house
development for working families. The nonprofit Westshore Community Development Corp.
proposes 57 town houses on 3 1/2 acres at Spruce Street, just east of Lois Avenue. The council
voted 7-0 Thursday night. A final hearing will be Sept. 6.
"After the rezoning, we are full-speed ahead," said Ron Rotella, president of the corporation's
board of directors. Rotella said construction could begin in April on the three-story homes, which
would be priced from $100,000 to $125,000. The two- and three-bedroom units would be
available to first-time homebuyers who qualify under federal income guidelines.
Last year, Hillsborough County commissioners agreed to deed the vacant land free to the
corporation. The property will be in a community land trust, with ownership reverting to the
county if the project does not offer affordable housing.
Rotella estimates the project cost at $11 million. The corporation has received $4 million from
the state and is seeking $1 million from the city.

Leasing land has growing appeal
Besides the financial benefits to some, deals may open more doors to affordable housing.
St. Petersburg Times - 04/1706
Some governments form land trusts that sell homes but own the land beneath them. That way
fast-rising land values don't squeeze out people of modest incomes.
"Land trusts have been used in other parts of the country very successfully," said Bruce Bussey,
planning manager for Pinellas County's Community Development Department. Bussey said the
county is formalizing a community land trust arrangement and is looking at which county lands
could be included. "It's not the silver bullet but it will be one of the options in our toolbox."
Pinellas has yet to work out its own terms, but a more mature trust in Sarasota is getting ready
to start building 3,000 housing units over the next 10 years. Buyers would own the structure and
pay a nominal rent of $25 a month.
If those owners want to sell, they would receive 25 percent of the appreciation on the sale, the
remainder rolling back into the trust to "ensure permanent affordability," said Martina Guilfoil,
who runs Sarasota's trust.
Other Florida communities are at different stages of land-trust development, said Wight Greger
with the nonprofit Florida Housing Coalition. Land trusts have been around the United States
since the '80s, she said, and in Asia for far longer than that.
By retaining public ownership of the land and limiting profit from resales, trusts keep housing
costs down and speculators at bay.

Old school, new home for teachers?
St. Petersburg Times - 7/18/07
As a member of a task force on affordable housing, Don Shea has sat in on lengthy meetings
discussing that issue. But it was while sitting at home on his porch that he realized a solution
was staring him in the face.
"I thought maybe we could recycle an abandoned schoolhouse in a way that's respectful of the
work that's gone on there but also respectful of the neighborhood," said Shea of a plan to
convert the old Euclid Elementary School into condominiums and town homes for teachers.
Shea lives across the street from the school on 10th Street at 10th Avenue N, but he's also the
head of the Downtown Partnership.
The idea has moved to the point that Shea is working out details with the Pinellas County
School Board and others to make the development a reality, perhaps by next year.
The 1940 two-story school, used mainly for administrative work, sits on about an acre and has a
parking lot as well as open space. Though the deal is still in negotiation, Shea's plan is to
convert the school building to nine condos and build another dozen or more town homes on the
surrounding property.
Shea estimates the three-bedroom units would sell for $170,000, or half the typical price,
because buyers wouldn't own the land, only the unit. The land would be held in a community
land trust.
Holding land in a trust would keep the housing affordable because much of the appreciation
comes from the increasing value of land. Not only would the initial buyer not need to bear that
cost, but resales would not include rising land value. The Euclid project would require that any
resales contribute three-quarters of profits back to the trust to discourage profiteering, said
Shea.
School superintendent Clayton Wilcox said the deal is complicated because not all teachers
would qualify and so there could be legal issues, but he thinks they can be worked out.
In addition, he said, it's important the school not be abandoned, which could be detrimental to a
neighborhood, but he's also looking at the trust concept for land the School Board is holding for
future schools. It might even apply to schools slated to be closed in the face of declining
enrollment.
"It's not just about old properties; it's about new ones, too," Wilcox said. "That's why it's so
important we get this right."
Wilcox said the plan may be unique in the country but that he has to explore it as a better use of
assets in the face of rising expenses. He said some people may think schools should not be in
the housing business, but he feels it's an appropriate community action.
"I think it's a very creative idea," said Dave Metz, the city's deputy mayor for neighborhoods.
"What a neat extension of school property to attract educators."
Metz said the city is planning to use the same idea to put some of its property into a land trust,
possibly one the county is establishing. That land would include a site near Mercy Hospital,
where Habitat for Humanity and Grady Pridgen will be building an affordable-housing
development.

The affordable-housing issue applies to many would-be home buyers, but Shea said this
arrangement would be aimed at teachers because the property is coming from the school
system. The concept could easily be applied to others essential to the community, he said.
Shea said cities could dedicate land for police officers or firefighters, and large employers could
do likewise, such as hospitals creating housing for nurses. As governments explore
requirements for affordable housing, the concept is also creating a business opportunity.
"Nobody really understands it, so we're setting up a company to do that," said Nick Pavonetti, a
former developer who has now created PDC Affordable Housing and its "affordable housing in a
box" concept.
Pavonetti would work with the same idea Shea is exploring but bring it to scale when developers
face rules that force them to add affordable housing in a community where they want to build a
mall or condo tower. He said he may go so far as to create an affordable-housing mitigation
bank that would allow developers to simply buy into an affordable development rather than have
to create their own each time.
Like Pavonetti's plan, Shea's trust idea could also apply to the private sector, when developers
have land that may no longer make sense to develop the way they'd planned.
"It may be very advantageous for them to contribute property," said Shea, noting tax
advantages to such donations. "Projects that may have been marginal to begin with might have
some new life."

Land trust aims to create affordable housing
Sarasota Herald-Tribune - 7/25/05
An idea for creating and preserving affordable housing that, so far, has scarcely been used in
Florida's soaring real estate markets could take root here this fall.
A new, nonprofit trust would perpetually own land on which houses priced for moderate-income
families are built or remodeled. It would impose price controls on those homes for the initial sale
and every sale thereafter.
The land trust -- which is being formed at the suggestion of the County Commission -- is
intended to significantly lower home prices for educators, nurses, police and other workers who
are finding housing costs escalating out of their reach. As of this spring, the median sales price
of a home in the Sarasota-Bradenton market hit an all-time high of $316,600 -- a 31 percent
jump from a year earlier.
The proposed Community Housing Trust of Sarasota County is likely to become the fourth
organization of its type in the Sunshine State. It has the potential of quickly becoming the
largest.
"It's going to be interesting to see how it works on a countywide basis," said Wight Greger, an
adviser with the Florida Housing Coalition. "Most community land trusts are neighborhood- or
city-specific. "
The Florida Keys has two community land trusts, in Key West and Marathon. Yet their efforts
have been limited because of a scarcity of available land and a Monroe County law that allows
no more than 186 residential building permits per year countywide, regardless of whether the
homes are built by for-profit or nonprofit developers.

The Hannibal Square Community Land Trust, which wants to put 10 new, moderately-priced
homes on the market in a struggling Winter Park neighborhood, is expecting approval of its tax-
exempt status within days.
The Community Housing Trust of Sarasota County, which is on the verge of incorporating, is
expected to become the fourth such trust in Florida. Groups in Lee County, Escambia County
and Lake Worth are also exploring the idea.
More than 160 land trusts have been created nationwide for affordable housing. The concept is
a twist on the conventional nonprofit land trust, which acquires property or development rights to
preserve environmentally-sensitive areas.
Of the community land trusts launched in Florida so far, Sarasota County's has the potential of
having the greatest impact and scope.
Donations of land and money
The trust's first acquisition could be a 146-acre tract off Laurel Road. The Gulf Coast
Community Foundation of Venice bought the land this summer for $16.1 million, expressly for
the creation of an affordable housing subdivision of 500 town houses. The foundation is
considering donating the land to the trust, which it is helping launch.
Several hundred acres off Palmer Boulevard, Bee Ridge Road Extension and State Road 72
could also be potential sites of interest to the trust and affordable housing developers.
This fall, the County Commission will consider allowing higher densities on those scattered
properties if developers agree to keep at least half of their new homes priced for moderate-
income buyers.
The trust does not yet have a dedicated funding source, however. It expects to rely heavily on
donations of land or money from the county, foundations and other sources.
On Tuesday, the trust's organizers will update the County Commission about their progress.
Last fall, the commission put up $50,000 for startup costs and asked the think tank Sarasota
County Openly Plans for Excellence to coordinate the creation of the new agency. Although
they initiated it, the commissioners wanted the trust to be a nonprofit corporation that functions
independently of the county government.
County officials hoped the trust would be operational by this spring.
"It would have been nice to have it done three months ago but it has been very complex," said
Tim Dutton, SCOPE's executive director. Dutton organized a 13-member committee to get the
trust up and running.
"Most of us needed a fair amount of education about all the technicalities," said Steve Queior, a
committee member and president of the Greater Sarasota County Chamber of Commerce.
The volunteer group has been meeting monthly with Michael Brown of Burlington Associates in
Community Development, a Minnesota-based firm that specializes in setting up community land
trusts. Brown cut his teeth on the concept when he helped create the nation's first community
land trust in Burlington, Vt., 21 years ago.
The committee is putting the final touches on the trust's incorporation papers and request for
tax-exempt status. It expects the trust to be operational this fall.

The lease-and-own concept
Much of the group's attention has focused on a detailed, 32-page land lease, the thrust of what
the trust is about.
The trust will acquire single lots and larger tracts by purchase or donation. Approved developers
would build homes on the trust's land without buying it and factoring its value into their homes'
prices.
The trust will give the future homeowners renewable, 99-year leases for their lots. The owners
also will not be allowed to factor in the land's value if they sell their homes.
Before they can put their homes on the market, the homeowners must give the trust an
opportunity to buy them. Even if the trust declines to buy a home, it must approve any resales
and ensure that the next buyer also meets its income criteria.
A sliding scale, based on how many years the sellers have lived in the home, may also be
imposed to determine how much appreciation they can earn.
Dutton said the trust committee is considering an incremental scale that, for example, would
entitle a seller to 25 percent of the home's increase in value after seven years.
Richard Casey, administrator of the Middle Keys Community Land Trust in Marathon, said that
trust allows a homeowner to get 3 percent of the home's increase in value each year or the
same percentage as the Keys' annual increase in median income, whichever is lower.
The median income in the Keys has been going up 4 percent a year lately, Casey said. So the
eight homeowners who live on trust-owned land there are seeing their equity in their homes go
up 3 percent annually.
The amount isn't as puny as it seems, Casey said. "For a $140,000 house, that's still $4,200 a
year and a pretty good return on their investment."
Yet organizers of the Sarasota County trust expect to hear criticism because it will deny its
clients the full appreciation of their homes.
"I know there will be naysayers, but you have to start somewhere," said Linda Holland, a
committee member and activist for Sarasota's Gillespie Park neighborhood.
Families who take advantage of the trust would be unlikely to own a home without it, Holland
said. "This is not about making money, folks. It's about having a decent place to raise your
family. Isn't that what it should be about? How about the value of that?"
An expanding role
Whether the local trust will achieve significant results remains to be seen, Dutton said. "No one
has a crystal ball."
Yet Queior believes the idea of perpetual affordability should be the trust's selling point.
"Developers, foundations and others interested in affordable housing would shy away if it (the
affordability criteria) were only applicable for the first resident for a few years," Queior said.
Curt Singleton, chief executive of the Sarasota Association of Realtors, doesn't think first-time
buyers who are struggling to find homes in their price range will be deterred by the land-lease
requirement.

"It's certainly a viable alternative for people who want to live and work in Sarasota," instead of
commute from North Port, Palmetto or other lower-priced areas, Singleton said.
Dev Goetschius, director of the three-year-old Housing Land Trust of Sonoma County, Calif.,
said moderate-income home buyers there have not been scared off by the fact that they won't
own the dirt beneath their homes.
Efforts to achieve affordable housing without a land trust can often be in vain and more costly,
Goetschius said.
Usually, down payment assistance or another financial subsidy is provided but no restrictions
are placed on the home's resale value. "So it's not affordable to the next homeowner or the next
homeowner," Goetschius said. Subsidy after subsidy could be required for the same home as it
changes hands among lower-income owners.
Goetschius recommends that Sarasota's land trust start off with a small prototype project. "It
allows you to get internally organized and focused."
For its initial project, Sonoma's land trust raised $600,000 in private donations to purchase
property where Habitat for Humanity built six houses for low-income families and a for-profit
builder built four houses for families with moderate incomes.
Dutton said the Sarasota group would like to see its trust become more than an agency that
acquires and leases land.
"We need some (countywide) organization that looks at affordable housing and tries to bring all
the players together," Dutton said.
The trust could become an organization that monitors national and state legislation, he
suggested. It could also initiate other programs to generate affordable housing.
"It could become a vehicle for all kinds of things we haven't thought about yet," Dutton said.
Volunteers on the trust's steering committee also include Diane McFarlin, publisher of the
Sarasota Herald-Tribune; attorney Dan Bailey; Phil Delaney of Northern Trust Bank; Gloria
Koch, who is active in the Junior League; Englewood resident Don Ross; real estate agent
Tracy Seider; Alex Young of the United Way; Teri Hansen of the Gulf Coast Community
Foundation of Venice; and Tom Waters and Stewart Stearns of the Community Foundation of

A Big Push for Affordable Housing. A decades-old proposal is getting a new lease on life
U.S. News and World Report - 09/22/07
For more than a decade, Georgia Johnson has watched the human exodus: the steady trickle
outward of longtime friends who sold their homes to developers and to the newcomers who
came amid the housing boom of the 1990s.
Now in her 70s, Johnson still lives in Lynwood Park, a historically black neighborhood on the
north side of Atlanta. Her one-story bungalow dates from the 1940s, but the rest of the
neighborhood now is characterized by pricey brick houses with two-car garages. A new
subdivision with potted trees and manicured lawns boasts designer homes for $1 million plus.

But the old neighborhood hasn't bowed out quietly, and of its many efforts to preserve its
affordability, one in particular underscores the renewed debate in Congress over how to fix or
contain the country's expanding housing crisis.
It has supported a housing bill first proposed in 1987 and re-energized this fall that would create
a national housing trust fund: a dedicated source of money to build affordable new houses and
rehabilitate old ones. Unlike existing housing programs, which are subject to the whims of
congressional appropriations, the trust fund would be politically immune. It would be financed, in
part, by diverting revenue from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the government-sponsored
mortgage giants.
Condos. Supporters of the trust fund say that it is a much-needed wedge against a troubling
national motif: the destruction of affordable in-town housing, often at the hands of high-rise
condominium and luxury home developers. (Chicago alone lost nearly 100,000 apartment units
from 1989 to 2004, while gaining roughly an equal number of condos.) For the first time, the bill
passed out of a House committee with significant bipartisan support, and it is expected to be
introduced on the House floor this month.
Not since 1992 has Congress approved a major overhaul of housing laws. The renewed interest
reflects not only the new Democratic leadership but also two unsettling trends: Housing costs
are growing, and federal funding isn't. According to a study published by the Joint Center for
Housing Studies, nearly 1 in 7 American households is "severely housing cost-burdened,"
spending more than half of its income on housing.
The other issue is that annual appropriations for federal housing programs have stalled, or
decreased, since the 1990s, despite the swelling slice of Americans who qualify for assistance.
Last year, annual federal spending on housing programs fell 2.3 percent thanks to inflation and
defense priorities.
One model that proponents of the national trust fund hope to emulate is that of the local trust
fund. In Washington, D.C., a tax-exempt trust fund has helped build and rehabilitate more than
5,000 units since 2001. Many of the recipients make less than $30,000 annually, compared with
the city's mean household income of $94,500. Among the beneficiaries is Jeffrey Allen, 50, who
lives in a complex called Freedom House. "I was at a shelter for six months and then on the
streets before that," Allen says. "I don't know what I would have done without this place."
But as legislation goes, housing bills aren't sexy, and philosophical squabbles intervene. To
many Republicans, "trust fund" equals "slush fund," and the Bush administration opposes the
bill, claiming it would siphon money from existing programs.
It helps the effort that Democrats now control Congress. But the real push could be the public
outcry over housing. With "subprime mortgages" and "predatory lending" now colloquial
expressions, lawmakers on both sides are under pressure to assuage constituent concerns.
"Certainly, the subprime mortgage crisis highlights the fact that low- to moderate-income folks
are struggling to maintain or purchase a home," says West Virginia Rep. Shelley Moore Capito,
a Republican who voted for the bill in committee. "I think the trust fund is part of an attempt to
address that sort of overarching issue."

Meeting Date:2/4/2008
Work Session
Council Chambers - City Hall
SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Approve a Contract to Wannemacher Russell Architects, Inc. of St. Petersburg, Florida in the amount of $415,375 for the design and
permitting of the Morningside Recreation Center and approve additional funding of $2,896,000 to come from either General Fund
retained earnings or Penny for Pinellas funds to be included in the FY 2008/09 capital improvement budget.
SUMMARY:
Included in the Penny for Pinellas II project list is $3.1 million to replace the existing Morningside Recreation Center, which is a
15,000 square feet 1960's renovated restaurant and bar.
The original budget for this project was established in 1997 as part of a commitment to replace three of the City's recreation
centers, which had outlived their useful life. All of the centers were to be comparable to the Countryside Recreation Center and
budgeted for the same amount of funds, at $2,500,000 each. Two of the three, the North Greenwood and Ross Norton Centers have
been completed, as follows:
2003 - North Greenwood Recreation Center: $92.47 per sf ($2,600,055/28,117 sf)
2005 - Ross Norton Recreation Center: $115.51 per sf. ($2,844,918/24,629 sf).
With the passage of time and current economic issues, the cost of construction has increased over 100%. The proposed
Morningside Center is estimated to cost from $175 to $225 per square foot. Due to this dramatic cost increase and the intention to
construct a building comparable to other neighborhood facilities, it is estimated that an additional $2,896,000 of funding is necessary.
Additional funding support can be provided from either General Fund retained earnings or Penny for Pinellas funds. Doing so
would allow construction in 2009 at $200 per square foot for a 25,000 square foot facility ($5,000,000/25,000), which is the average
size of the previous two centers. The approximate balance of General Fund retained earnings is $24.1 million and the approximate
balance of Penny for Pinellas funds is $4.5 million. The additional funding amount can be reduced if the facility is reduced in size.
With the approval of this agenda item, additional capital funds will be incorporated into the 2008/09 annual operating and capital
improvement budget from one of the two sources outlined above.
Several community meetings have already been held with the Morningside residents and a majority have given their support to the
project. A design committee including residents from the community have been involved in the process from the beginning and will
continue to provide input as we move forward to design.
Major elements of this project will consist of a gymnasium, multi-use classroom, control station/lobby, staff offices, conference
room, fitness room, restrooms, storage, circulation and mechanical/electric rooms. The new recreation center design will incorporate
the existing aquatics center, which will undergo renovations while the new center is being developed. The aquatics center, playground
areas and other outdoor facility renovations will be programmed from other funding sources, including a $200,000 FRDAP grant and
renewal/replacement programs.
The purchase order to Wannemacher Russell Architects, Inc. in the amount of $415,375, is for complete architectural services for
the building including design, bidding, civil engineering, permitting, threshold inspection and fire sprinkler engineering. The City will
provide landscape and irrigation plans as well as handle miscellaneous construction related costs like geotechnical services, demolition,
F & E budget, permit fees, 3% project administration fees, public art fee etc. for a total estimated budget of $5,996,000. The
project design schedule calls for the design, permitting, bidding and award of contract to be completed by November 2008 with the
construction completed by February 2010.
Operating budgets and staffing levels for the new center will be determined in part by the type of programming to be offered. Any
increase in operating expenses will be offset from new revenue generated at the center, increased user fees or transfer of existing
resources.
The current budget for the Morningside Recreation Complex is $481,480 with 8.75 FTE's. Current revenues are approximately
$97,905 for a net current cost of $383,575. When completed, the projected complex operating budget at current year costs will be
approximately $756,990 with 12.25 FTE's. Revenue will increase to $240,000 for a projected net cost of $516,990, which represents an
additional cost of $133,415 annually. This additional cost will be covered by transferring existing resources from other operations in
the Parks and Recreation Department, which would result in the reduction in hours, staff and programs at other facilities.
As the design and building program for the new center develops, the architect and design committee can adjust the center size and
elements as may be necessary to control the project's estimated cost. These factors will be defined prior to the City awarding a contract
for construction.
Funds are currently available for the purchase order to Wannemacher Russell Architects, Inc. in CIP 315-93251.

Proposed Fees:
The following is a summary of the Total Fees for all Services including Basic Services and
Additional Services itemized below. An estimate of anticipated reimbursable expenses is also
included. Note that the fees have been generated utilizing the State of Florida's Department
of Management Service (DMS) Fee Guidelines. This is also the Fee Guideline utilized by the
Pinellas County School Board and the State Board of Regents.
The DMS Guidelines were developed with the thought that the competitive negotiation of
Architectural and Engineering fees represents some of the most important proactive dollars
expended on a project. These funds are an investment that affects both the quality and
successful completion of a project. It is for this reason that the schedules used as a guideline
for determining fees by the Department are thought to be the fairest way for both Professional
and Owner to come to terms on a Project Fee.

SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Approve a Contract For Purchase of Real Property with Donna Andrus for property legally described as LAUREL LAKE
SUBDIVISION, Lots 8, 9 and 10, in the sum of $420,000 plus estimated environmental inspection and closing expenses not to exceed
$3,000, and authorize appropriate officials to execute same, together with all other documentation required to effect closing. (consent)
SUMMARY:
The subject properties are improved with just over 3900 square feet of living space in two residential rental structures containing a total
of five rental units.
The two structures are sited on three platted lots addressed as 600 and 610 South Duncan A venue, containing a total of 24,480 square
feet ofland (0.562 Acres, more or less).
The improvements are built upon lands that were once a wetland. The subject structures are within the 100-year flood plain, Special
Flood Hazard Area "AE", and are included in FEMA's repetitive loss list, each having experienced two inundations in recent years.
Both properties have been recommended for purchase in the City's Stevenson Creek Watershed Management Plan ("Plan").
In December 2000 the City settled a lawsuit over related area flooding issues by purchasing two other duplexes abutting the rear of the
subject properties.
City staff approached property owner Donna Andrus in November 2007 about a potential purchase. Both the City and the owner hired
State Certified Real Estate Appraisers to value the properties. The City appraiser valued the properties in total at $370,000. The owner's
appraiser valued the properties at $444,000. The proposed purchase price lies within the range of valuations.
The contract provides for closing on or before June 2, 2008, subject to securing a satisfactory environmental audit and fulfillment of
other contract conditions, including having the units totally vacated.
The structures will be removed or demolished following purchase and a pond will be constructed upon the property.
In addition to removing the structures from FEMA's repetitive loss list and fulfiling a Plan recommendation, the pond will reduce
flooding risk to adjacent properties and provide some water quality treatment required by the FDEP permit for Beachwalk.
A first quarter budget amendment will transfer $52,472.18 of Stormwater Utility Revenue from Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
project 0315-96124, Storm Pipe System Improvements, to CIP 0315-96149, Storm System Expansion, to provide total funding in the
amount of $420,000 plus additional related expenses for the purchase.

BOARD QUESTIONNAIRE
1. What is your understanding of the board's duties and responsibilities?
_Since I was a member of this board previously I fully understand the duties and
responsibilities of the COB board.
2. Have you ever observed a board meeting either in person or on C-View, the
City's TV station?
_To many times to count_
3. What background and/or qualifications do you have that you feel would qualify
you to serve on this Board?
Since I am in the commercial real estate and development field, I deal with
engineers, attorneys and planners, tenants and other developers on a daily basis. I
also deal with other city governments, county government throughout the state. I
have lived out on the beach for the past 20 years, financed many homes in
Countryside while at the bank and developed many homes and office building and
the north wood plaza area while at Rutenberg. Recently helped in the redevelopment
of LaBelle Plaza, Publix, at highland and Belleair.
4. Why do you want to serve on this Board?
First and foremost to give back something, my time, to the community and help
forge the city into the place I want to live the remainder of my lifetime. I also enjoy
the interaction with the other board members and the sometimes tough decisions
we are asked to make. I also like to know what is going on in the city and the COB
board is next to being on the commission and I don't think the public could take
two Bill Johnson's on the board. Even though some people said that they did vote
for me this last election, Bill Jonson., they didn't notice the name difference.
