SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Approve amendments to Code Section 2.527, Settlement of Claims, and pass Ordinance 7964-08 on first reading.
SUMMARY:
Risk Management is recommending that the settlement ordinance be modified to streamline the City's ability to settle claims under

It increases Risk Management's authority to $7,500 and $15,000 for Risk and Legal, and $25,000 for City Manager, Risk
Management and Legal.
It does not change the level in which Council approval is required; such level shall remain at $25,000.

made from insurance proceeds and not City funds.

SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Approve amendments to the City's self-insurance program ordinance as codified in Section 2.641-2.647 and pass Ordinance 7965-08 on
first reading.

language having to do with how the central insurance fund monies are invested, as this is now addressed in the City's investment policy.

to self-insure an exposure.

Council Chambers - City Hall
SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the Negotiated Sale of not to exceed $12,900,000 City of Clearwater Improvement Revenue Bonds, Series 2008 to Branch
Banking and Trust Company (BB&T) to finance a portion of the project costs incurred to construct the Downtown Boat Slips and Beach
Walk and adopt Resolution 08-17.
SUMMARY:
The Council previously adopted resolutions 06-08 and 07 -13 establishing the intent to reimburse certain project costs incurred to
construct Beach Walk and the Downtown Boat Slips with the proceeds from future tax-exempt financing.
Raymond James and Associates, Inc., the City's Financial Adviser has determined the most favorable financing vehicle currently
available is a negotiated bank loan.
An RFP was issued on July 1,2008 to solicit interested banks and financial institutions to provide the loan and we received three (3)
competitive proposals. These proposals were compared to what we could expect from a traditional bond sale to insure that we are using
the best financing option. A spreadsheet laying out the proposals and comparison to a traditional bond is attached.
Branch Banking and Trust Company (BB&T) submitted the proposed loan package that provides for the most advantageous financing
option for the City.
The loan will be for $12.9 million at 4.66% fixed rate interest repaid over 20 years.
The Beachwalk portion of the debt payments will be paid from the General Fund and has a maximum annual debt payment
of $295,630. The preliminary 2009 budget includes $315,000 for the Beachwalk debt payment.
The Boat Slips portion of the debt payments includes 2 years of capitalized interest (borrow 2 years of interest payments as well as the
cost of construction) and has no principal payment until the 3rd year. This is to enable the construction of the boat slips and start up of
the operation prior to beginning to repay the debt. The maximum annual debt payment is $763,668. These debt services payments will
be made from the Downtown Boat Slips Enterprise Fund from revenue generated from the Boat Slips. I have attached an updated
proforma schedule for Downtown Boat Slips, showing the slips in operation for 3 months in FY09 (expected opening July 2009) and
including the updated debt payments. This schedule shows an average of over $222,000 net income (cash basis) over the course of the
40 year expected life.
The Enterprise Fund, as well as appropriate debt service funds will be established at the time the bonds are issued. An agenda item will
be brought forward to the Council in FY09 requesting the establishment of the appropriate budget in the Boat Slip Enterprise Fund and
FTE's to operate the boat slips when we get closer to the completion of construction and a firm date for the opening of the facility.
The Resolution (and related exhibits) are attached as well as the debt service schedules.
Closing on these bonds is anticipated to be on August 12,2009.

Fax (803) 251-1329
July 15, 2008
(Revised July 23, 2008)
Mr. Matthew Sansbury
Vice President
Raymond James & Associates, Inc.
880 Carillon Parkway
St. Petersburg, FL 33716
Dear Mr. Sansbury:
Branch Banking and Trust Company ("BB&T") is pleased to offer this proposal for the financing
requested by the City of Clemwater ("City").
(1)
Project:
Improvement Revenue Bonds, Series 2008
(2)
Amount To Be Financed:
Not to exceed $12,900,000.00
(3) Interest Rates, Financing Terms and Corresponding Payments:
Term
NBQ rate
20 years
4.66 %
Semi annual interest payments shall be due commencing February 1, 2009 and continue each August 1
and February 1 thereafter through maturity. Annual principal payments shall be due commencing August 1,
2009 and continue each August 1 thereafter through maturity. Interest shall accrue on the Bonds on the basis
of a 360-day year consisting of twelve (12) 30-day months with no compounding.
The interest rate stated above is valid for a closing not later than 45 days after today (the original date
of proposal). Closing of the financing is contingent upon completing documentation acceptable to BB&T and
its counsel.
Remuneration for our legal review expenses and undelWriting for this financing transaction shall be
$19,000. All applicable costs of counsel for the City and any other costs shall be the City's responsibility and
separately payable by the City.
The financing documents shall allow for the prepayment of the principal balance in whole on a
scheduled payment date within the first 10 years of the financing agreement with a 1 % prepayment premium.
After the first 10 years the financing documents shall allow for the prepayment of the principal balance in
whole on a scheduled payment date without penalty.
BB&T will require a provision (acceptable to BB&T) be provided in the loan documents in the event
that at any time this transaction is determined to be taxable in accordance with the Internal Revenue Service
code.
Item # 5
Attachment number 5
Page 2 of 4
The stated interest rate assumes that the City expects to borrow more than $10,000,000 in calendar
year 2008 and that the financing shall comply with the IRS Code Sections 141, 148 and 149( e). The Bonds
shall comply with all Florida State statutes. BB&T reserves the right to terminate its interest in this bid or to
negotiate a mutually acceptable rate if the financing is not a qualified tax-exempt financing.
(4) Financing Documents:
It shall be the responsibility of the City to retain and compensate counsel to appropriately structure the
Bonds. BB&T shall also require the City to provide an unqualified bond counsel opinion. BB&T and its
counsel reserve the right to review and approve all documentation before closing.
(5) Security:
The Bonds shall be secured by the City's Public Service Tax revenues.
* * * * * *
BB&T appreciates the opportunity to make this financing proposal and requests to be notified within
ten days of this proposal should BB&T be the successful proposer.
BB&T shall have the right to cancel this offer by notifying the City of its election to do so (whether or
not this offer has previously been accepted by the City) if at any time prior to the closing there is a material
adverse change in the City's financial condition, if we discover adverse circumstances of which we are
currently unaware, if we are unable to agree on acceptable documentation with the City or if there is a change
in law (or proposed change in law) that changes the economic effect of this financing to BB&T. We reserve
the right to negotiate and/or terminate our interest in this transaction should we be the successful proposer.
Please call me at (803) 251-1328 with your questions and comments or contact Michael C. Smith in
our Orlando, FL office at:
255 South Orange Avenue
Orlando, FL 32801

SUBJECT 1 RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the agreements with Tower Optical for coin-operated viewers at Pier 60 and the Marina and authorize the appropriate officials
to execute same. (consent)
SUMMARY:
Tower Optical has had 8 coin-operated viewers on Pier 60 since October 2002. The city receives 50 percent of the revenue generated
from the machines. In the past 12 months, that translated into about $3,200.00.
In May we asked to have 2 coin-operated viewers installed on the roof of the Marina deck, at which time Tower Optical asked for
written agreements. Our Legal representative reviewed and made suggested changes to the documents. Insurance in the amount of $1
million, with the City of Clearwater as additional insured was received for each location.
The city empties the viewers monthly and has a check sent to Tower Optical for their portion.

SUBJECT 1 RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt revised formulas for the purpose of computing fees for non-residents to participate at City recreation facilities and in City
recreation programs and activities; eliminate some of the options in lieu of non-resident card purchase; approve the City Manager or his
or her designee to change the surcharge factor; and pass Ordinance 7983-08 on first reading.
SUMMARY:
On February 2, 2005 the City Council revised a 1993 formula for the purpose of computing fees for non-residents and approved the City
Manager or his designee to administer the formulas. The formula adopted at that time is as follows:
Department 0 & M Budget plus
Indirect Overhead minus
Budgeted Revenue divided by
Population equals
Subtotal
Subtotal plus
Capital Recovery Component plus
Card Processing Fee equals
Non-Resident Yearly Fee
One of the City's Tier 1 budget initiatives is to modify the formula by adding a surcharge recovery fee to this formula. If approved, the
surcharge recovery fee may be adjusted by the City Manager or his or her designee in order to address the economic climate.
In addition, as part of this recommendation the elimination of some of the options in lieu of non-resident card purchases are included.
Specifically, options to be eliminated are as follows:
. Participants of youth seasonal recreation programs
. Participants at Lawnbowls, Shuffleboard, Horseshoe Club and Three-Score Softball
This would then require all participants in these programs and organizations to purchase a non-discounted individual non-resident card
based on the approved formula.
If approved, these changes will result in approximately $115,000 in additional revenue. The new fees and elimination of discounted
fees will take effect on October 1, 2008.
As a matter of information, the resident recreation card will be increased from $5 per person and $25 per family to $7 per person and
$35 per family beginning October 1, 2008.
Based on the new formulas, the proposed fees for non-residents are as follows:

SUBJECT 1 RECOMMENDATION:
Approve renewing a contract with the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office, Largo, Florida, for latent fingerprint, crime scene processing,
evidence and property storage and Pinellas Juvenile Assessment Center services, during the one year contract period commencing
October 1, 2008, through September 30, 2009, at a cost of $647,362.00 and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same.
(consent)
SUMMARY:
The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office (PCSO) and the Clearwater Police Department (CPD) began annual contractual agreement
for services in January 1994. The agreements covered\ latent fingerprint examination, property/evidence storage, and crime scene
. .
processmg servIces.
The total cost of the proposed FY 2008/2009 agreement is $647,362.00. The contractual price reflects an increase of
approximately 14% for currently provided services and an additional $57,362 for PJAC security. CPD has never been charged for this
serVIce.
The proposed contractual agreement reflects the following breakout of costs: Fingerprint Services - $95,620.00; Forensic Science
Services (Crime Scene Processing) - $352,000.00 (2,200 calls @ $160.00 per call), requests for services in excess of 2,200 calls will be
invoiced monthly at a rate of $160.00 per call. In addition, any funds from unused calls for service from FY 2008/2009 shall be applied
toward the following year's contractual agreement; Evidence and Property Service and Storage - $142,380.00. This cost is inclusive of
personnel and storage costs, and is an increase of $79,878 over FY 2007/2008 charges for the same category. The Sheriffs previous
charges have not covered his cost for providing these services. In order to bring the fees up to a level to cover his costs, the rates will be
increased over the next two years. This year's increase represents the main reason for the 14% overall increase in the cost for this
contract.
Additionally, for the first time PCSO is charging all Pinellas County law enforcement agencies their respective share of the cost of
providing security for the Pinellas Juvenile Assessment Center (PJAC). Clearwater's share is $57,362.00 based on the number of
juvenile bookings made by CPD into PJAC the previous year, totaling 667, reflecting a cost of $86.00 per booking. Billing for requests
for service in excess of the 667 bookings during the term of this contract shall be invoiced at the rate of $86.00 per booking. Any excess
funds from unused bookings will carryover to the following year.
Funding for this contractual agreement is proposed in the Police Department's FN 200812009 operating budget.

Intent Statement, Goals and Provisions for Voluntary Cooperation:
It is the intention of the Office of the Attorney General's CPCU to establish this multiMagency

targeting internet crimes against children offenders, along with their associated distribution
organizations.
The principal purpose of this multi-agency agreement shall be the successful prosecution of
violators of the internet crimes against children laws, with particular emphasis placed on efforts
designed to identify and dismantle organized criminal enterprises. Furthermore, emphasis shall
be placed on targeting violators that commit criminal acts in multiple jurisdictions and/or

Enforcement efforts shall include, but are not limited to, undercover operations designed to
detect illegal internet crimes against children activity, including but not limited to violations of
Chapter 847 and Chapter 827, Florida Statutes; the arrest and prosecution of those involved; the
forfeiture of assets from those engaged in such activity; and the referral of investigative leads
and intelligence to such other federal, state or local law enforcement authorizes as may be
required and appropriate under this agreement.
While the seizure and civil forfeiture of assets is an effective tool in combating organized
criminal activity, the seizure and forfeiture of assets shall not take priority over the primary
function, which shall be to enforce criminal law violations.
Nothing herein shall otherwise limit the ability of participating members to provide, as provided
by or allowable by law, such assistance in any enforcement action as may be lawfully requested
by a law enforcement officer having jurisdiction over an incident, crime or matter under

The Office of the Attorney General's CPCU Prosecutor will be involved in investigative review
and provide guidance when appropriate to ensure successful prosecution of a case. Additionally,
the CPCU Prosecutor will determine whether cases resulting from internet crimes against
children investigation shall be prosecuted in state court, or whether an individual case would be
best resolved through referral to the United States Attorney for consideration of federal

reconsideration and final decision. Final determination will rest with the Office of the Attorney
General's CPCU Prosecutor.
Jurisdiction:
Members shall enjoy full jurisdictional authority and statewide arrest authority anywhere within

attachment to this Agreement, identify or further define particular guidelines, policies, or
procedures to be utilized by members when engaged in internet crimes against children
operations. In the absence of written memorandum of understanding or attachments, the policies
and procedures to be utilized shall be those policies and procedures of the Office of the Attorney
General Child Predator CyberCrime Unit. However, as stated above, no member will be
expected to violate or otherwise fail to maintain the member's employing Agency's standards of
conduct, rules or policies.
Powers, Privileges, Costs and Liability-Related Issues:

assistance outside of their jurisdictional limits but inside the state, while in the company of an
Office of the Attorney General Child Predator CyberCrime Unit sworn law enforcement
member, under the terms of this agreement, shall, pursuant to the provisions of section

Attachment number 1
Page 6 of 9
Each party to this Agreement agrees to furnish necessary personnel, property, police equipment,
including suitable computers for use in conducting covert internet crimes against children
initiatives, including vehicles and resources in order to effect the purpose of the internet crimes
against children investigative activities, and agrees to bear the cost of loss or damage to its
equipment, vehicles or property so provided. Parties understand and agree that they will be
responsible for their own liability and bear their own costs with regard to their property and
resources, or personnel expenses incurred by reason of death, injury or incidents giving rise to
liability.

during the time such services are rendered and shall defray the actual expenses of its employees
while they are rendering such services, including any amounts paid or due for compensation due

employees.
Nothing in this agreement is intended or is to be construed as any transfer or contracting away of
the powers or functions of one party hereto to the other.
Property Seizure and Forfeiture Considerations:
No funds or other property seized during the internet crimes against children operations are to be
utilized by any member agency prior to successful forfeiture or until the title or interest in the
funds otherwise lawfully vests in one of more member agencies. Forfeiture actions based upon
seizures made by members shall be based upon current statutory and case law. The Parties agree
that the Sheriff of the county wherein the seizure occurs, or the Office of the Attorney General,
through its attorneys, will be primarily responsible under this Agreement for pursuing all
forfeiture actions on behalf of all Parties in state court, subject to their right to reimbursement of
associated costs; however, this provision shall not preclude the use of other forfeiture attorneys
or personnel as needed on particular matters, nor shall it preclude the adoption of said seizures
for federal forfeiture proceedings when deemed appropriate. Distribution of the proceeds from
successful forfeiture actions shall be equitable among the Parties to this Agreement and
participating in the operation associated with the seized and forfeited items and shall take into
account their relative roles in support of the efforts unless an alternative distribution allocation
among the Parties has been agreed upon.

property, and concerns cannot be resolved, no forfeiture action is to be filed. All options
available to state and local law enforcement agencies with regard to unclaimed evidence or
abandoned property, gifts and plea agreements are available, provided the property under

Proqram Narrative
The City of Clearwater Police Oepartment (CPO) requests authorization to apply for a
FY 2008 Edward Byrne Justice Assistance Grant in the amount of $30,414 for its
Tactical Weapons Illuminator Project.
The Tactical Weapons Illuminator is the original rail mount weapons light that is
compatible with the handguns used by all CPO officers. The light attaches onto the
weapon and provides powerful light, as well as fast and significantly clearer
identification of the target. The light weighs less than 4 ounces and will not hamper
performance or shooter skill. The accompanying holsters are necessary for the
Illuminator to be stored on the officer's belt with the weapon. The Tactical Weapons
Illuminator will prove to be extremely useful to CPO officers in low light situations and
will greatly enhance officer safety.
Currently when CPO patrol officers conduct building searches, foot chases, felony traffic
stops, and/or active-shooter situations in low-light conditions, officers must use one
hand for their weapon and the other for their flashlight. Having a weapons-mounted
lighting system would free up the officer's non-shooting hand, allowing the officer to use
that hand and not have to worry about aiming a flashlight in addition to a gun.
Ouring CPO's active-shooter training in the summer of 2005, the training unit developed
scenarios that required officers to bring their flashlights with them in the event of low-
light conditions. Numerous times during the training, unarmed role players were shot
during the split second that it to took for the officer to decide whether to shoot or be
shot. When questioned about the shootings, officers stated that their biggest concerns
were the lighting issue and poor hand position while holding the flashlight. These
officers all stated that if they had had a weapons-mounted light system, the outcome of
the training scenario would have been different.
The grant will fund the purchase of 240 lights and 240 holsters, providing all sworn
personnel with the equipment.
Cost per light is $62.14 x 240 for a total of $14,913.60.
Cost per holster is $80 x 240 for a total of $19,200.00.
Total purchase price for lights and holsters will be $34,113.60.
Total of federal grant funds will be $30,414.00, the maximum that CPO is eligible to
apply for.
The balance of $3699.60 will be paid for from CPO's Special Law Enforcement Fund
account.

Bud2et Narrative
Supplies ($34,113.60)
The grant will fund the purchase of 240 tactical weapons illuminator lights and 240
accompanying holsters, providing all sworn personnel with the equipment.
The tactical weapons illuminator is the original rail mount weapons light that is
compatible with the handguns used by all Clearwater Police Oepartment (CPO) officers.
The light attaches onto the weapon and provides powerful light, as well as fast and
significantly clearer identification of the target. The light weighs less than 4 ounces and
will not hamper performance or shooter skill. The accompanying holsters are necessary
for the Illuminator to be stored on the officer's belt with the weapon. The Tactical
Weapons Illuminator will prove to be extremely useful to CPO officers in low light
situations and will greatly enhance officer safety.
Cost per light is $62.14 x 240 for a total of $14,913.60.
Cost per holster is $80 x 240 for a total of $19,200.00.
Total purchase price for lights and holsters will be $34,113.60.
Total of federal grant funds will be $30,414.00, the maximum that CPO is eligible to
apply for.
The balance of $3699.60 will be paid for from the department's Special Law
Enforcement Fund account.

SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Approve acceptance of a FY 2008 Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance (DOJ/BJA) grant in the amount of $99,730 for a
one- year period to fund the Clearwater Area Task Force on Human Trafficking Immersion Training Project. (consent)
SUMMARY:
1. On October 18, 2006, the City Council approved the acceptance of the Clearwater Police Department's (CPD) Law Enforcement
Task Forces and Services for Human Trafficking Victims Grant from DOJ/BJA. In less than two years, the Clearwater Area Task Force
on Human Trafficking (CATFHT) has come to be recognized as a model program by DOJ/BJA.
2. As a result, CATFHT has been invited by DOJ/BJA to serve as a Human Trafficking Task Force Leadership and "Immersion
Training" Site. The purpose of this grant is to promote visits by other Human Trafficking Task Forces to Clearwater in order to help
them work more effectively in identifying and rescuing victims of human trafficking, and prosecute traffickers. The grant is awarded to
cover any expenses in time and equipment incurred by the City and its non-profit partners to deliver the immersion training.
3. It is anticipated that the work associated with this grant project will be multi-faceted in scope and delivery and goes beyond the
scope of CATFHT's current human trafficking grant project and funding. The work includes, but is not limited to, the following: (1)
assist in the original development of subject matter content for the immersion learning process; (2) assist in the identification of "best
practices" that a new or existing Human Trafficking Task Force might want to consider as part of a model task force implementation;
and, (3) serve as a training location for selected task forces identified by DOJ/BJA and provide intense training to selected attendees in
the form of mentoring, coaching, advising and demonstration of successful practices.
4. All supplies, equipment, overtime and contractual services will be utilized to perform the above-referenced tasks and is in line
with suggested DOJ/BJA budget line items for this project. Per DOJ/BJA directives, CPD is required to utilize a portion of the grant
funds to reimburse the non-governmental organizations that are participating in the project and CATFHT. This includes the YWCA of
Tampa Bay, World Relief, Gulfcoast Legal Services, and the St. Petersburg Regional Community Policing Institute (RCPI).
5. Costs associated with this project will include: overtime for police officers; travel expenses; two laptop computers; an LCD
projector; video teleconferencing system; speaker phone system; fax machine; wireless microphone system; miscellaneous office
supplies (paper, pens, etc.); printing/graphics of pamphlets/information cards; vehicle rental; update of CATFHT website; and
contractual services provided by the YWCA, World Relief, Gulfcoast Legal Services, and RCPI. The two laptop computers to be
purchased will be donated to the YWCA and World Relief, as arranged through Clearwater's Information Technology Department.
6. Contractual agreements between the City of Clearwater and the YWCA of Tampa Bay; World Relief Tampa; Gulfcoast Legal
Services; and RCPI have been prepared. Copies of the agreements will be available for review in the Office of Official Records and
Legislative Services.
7. Special Project No. 181-99268 has been established to account for the grant expenditures. There is no match and there are no
additional FTE's associated with this grant.

SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Renew a contract (Purchase Order) to Allied Universal Corporation of Miami, FL from September 1,2008 through June 30, 2009 for a
total value of $142,450 for Liquid Sodium Hypochlorite; approve a 91 day extension and an increase to an existing purchase order to
Odyssey Manufacturing Co, Tampa, Florida, increasing the value by $65,683.00 for a total amount of $165,043.00 and authorize the
appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
SUMMARY:
Liquid Sodium Hypochlorite (bleach) is used to disinfect wastewater effluent and aids odor control at the City of Clearwater's three
Water Pollution Control facilities. The City has converted from use of chlorine gas to bleach in order to better protect the community,
environment and operations personnel. While the Northeast Plant has been permanently converted, the Marshall Street and East Plants
are disinfecting with temporary bleach systems, while permanent bleach systems are being implemented. This staged conversion is
driven by the City's ability to fund the improvements associated with the overall conversion projects at the treatment facilities. This the
third and final renewal authorized in the terms of Bid 24-05 to Allied Universal.
Odyssey Manufacturing Co provides the bleach to the temporary disinfection systems currently in place at the Marshall Street and East
Plants. The current purchase order was set up February 14th, 2008 and will be extended to last throughout the calendar year (end date of
Dec 31,2008). The remaining conversion schedule is tied to a separate Capital Improvements Project, (City Project 07 -0021-UT,
Marshall Street and Northeast APCF Centrifuge Dewatering and Marshall Street and East APCF Hypochlorite Conversion), prompting
the City to have two separate agreements. When the permanent systems are fully functional at all 3 plants, this commodity will be re-
bid.
For the Allied purchase order sufficient budget is planned in the Water & Sewer operating budget request to be brought forward for
FY08/09 WPC Operations, 0421-01351-551000, in the amount of $25,000.
For the Odyssey purchase order sufficient budget is available in the Water & Sewer Utility Fund operating cost center, WPC
Operations, 0421-01351-551000, to fund $21,730 of the current year cost of this contract and is planned in the budget request to be
brought forward for FY08/09 in the amount of $43,953.00

inlet grates, inlet throats, and other designated sites.
Spot sweeping and cleanup of accident and/or load spills will be the responsibility of the
Department.
These specifications and special provIsIOns are end-result oriented. Although the main
purpose of this contract is to accomplish mechanical/vacuum road sweeping operations on
state roadways, the Agency may encounter objects larger than what a mechanical sweeper
can remove. At such times, the Agency shall furnish hand or mechanical means to remove
all debris encountered.
B. All roadway sweeping must be done between the hours of 7:00 PM and 6:AM Sunday night
thru Friday Morning to minimize the disruption of traffic.

toward the outside of the unit, in both directions from the center. The bottom of the cartridge
shall have the same pattern, covering the entire bottom, with 6 inches white and 6 inches
safety orange stripes. Use Type III reflectorized sheeting for striping.
Obtain certified test reports from the TMA manufacturer showing the attenuator meets all
requirements set by the National Cooperative Highway Research Program, Report 230.

SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the amendment of the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) to restructure current Water and Sewer Utility funding by
increasing project budgets by $4,016,791.00 of planned FY09 revenue bond proceeds and decreasing project budgets by $4,016,791.00
of operating revenues for a net change of zero. (consent)
SUMMARY:
On June 19,2008, Ordinance 7913-08 was passed increasing water, lawn water, reclaimed water and sewer rates by 7% beginning
October 1, 2008, with additional 7% increases effective October 1, 2009, and 2010. Also included are 6% increases to become effective
on October 1, 2011, and 2012.
Burton and Associates completed the 2008 water and sewer rate study update, which indicated the need for the rate increases and also
recommended a restructuring of project funding that was previously approved with the CIP budget.
The restructuring is to improve operating cash flows in the Water & Sewer Utility Fund by converting project funding from unrestricted
operating revenues to future bond proceeds.
Resolution 07-28 was passed on October 1,2007, establishing the City's intent to reimburse certain project costs incurred with future
tax-exempt financing. The projects identified with 2009 revenue bonds as a funding source were included in the project list associated
with Resolution 07-28.
The 2008 rate study identified a need for bonds to be issued in 2009 of approximately $59,712,000 with $45,483,611 to fund a portion
of the capital projects in existence in FY 2008. The currently approved Water & Sewer CIP project budget for funding with 2009 bond
proceeds is only $41,466,820. The following proposed third quarter amendments will bring the CIP project budget into agreement with
the 2008 rate study.

SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Discuss Amendments to the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan as recommended in the Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR). (WSO)
SUMMARY:
Florida Statutes require local governments to adopt comprehensive plan amendments consistent with their approved Evaluation and
Appraisal Report (EAR). The City of Clearwater's EAR, prepared in 2005-2006, was found sufficient by the Department of Community
Affairs (DCA) on November 29,2006. The EAR-based amendments are required to be processed as a large-scale plan amendment and
adopted by the end of 2008.
The 2006 EAR was divided into five (5) parts: Part I: Introduction, Part II: Statutory Issues Assessment, Part III: Issues of Local
Concern, Part IV: Success and Shortcomings of Each Comprehensive Plan Element, and Part V: Changes in Florida Statutes. Statutory
changes and issues of local concern were identified in the EAR to be addressed through EAR-Based Amendments. A total of five (5)
issues of local concern were identified as follows:
How can the City develop a comprehensive and diversified strategy for the City's redevelopment?
How does the City provide guidance to enhance community character and livable neighborhoods?
How does the City develop and implement a proactive approach to facilitate attainable housing and assure safety and
competitiveness of the aging housing stock?
How can the City develop and implement a strategy to eliminate enclaves and facilitate annexation? and
How does the City implement an approach to coastal and disaster management?
On April 4, 2007, the City Council appointed a new Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC) for the purpose of providing public
participation in the preparation of the EAR -based amendments. The new CAC includes several of the members of the CAC that worked
on the EAR. The committee has met nine (9) times since its "kick-off' meeting in April 2007, primarily reviewing and making
recommendations on the EAR issues of local concern. The CAC also reviewed the statutory and editorial changes that are included in
the proposed amendments. The final CAC meeting will be held on July 30, 2008. Any additional recommendations made by the CAC
will be presented to the Council at the August 4th work session.
The proposed amendments, as well as a summary of policy issues are provided to facilitate the discussion.

The purpose and intent of the Futllfe Land Use E]ement is to provide a framework for land use and
zoning decisions It estah]ishes the allowah]e use, intensity and density of land and provides for
consistency hetween land use classifications and zoning atlas districts Additionally, this element
provides for a citywide design stmctllfe consisting of a hierarchy of places and the linkages hetween
them to guide futllfe development Since Clearwater is effectively huilt-out, the element provides for
sustainah]e redevelopment and infill development, as well as neighhorhood preservation Goa]s,
ohjectives and policies are designed to preserve and enhance community character and quality of life,
while ensuring the continued economic vitality of the community
Future Land Use Needs Summary
The following summarizes the Future Land Use Element:
. Clearwater has two (2) main natural resources, a moist, sub-tropical climate and buildable land.
With gradual variations in topography from sea level to one hundred three (103) feet, we have
mostly well drained sandy soils with pockets of wetlands. There are natural drainage ways to
Clearwater Harbor and Tampa Bay. The virgin landscape presented relatively few obstacles to
development, and urbanization occurred rapidly throughout the 1960s and 1970s. The supply of
buildable land has been depleted. City policies will have to compensate for the scarcity of land.
. Vacant developable land in Clearwater has been reduced from approximately 1,034 acres in
1989, to approximately 600 acres in 1996, and then thIther reduced to 420 in 2005. Most of
these parcels are less than one acre in size. Infill development, urban conservation, and urban
renewal strategies will continue to be prevalent in implementing Clearwater's plan. (As per 2006
EAR)
. In 2.0..05. t999-; residential was the largest category of land use within the City of Clearwater
(approximately 7,07200 acres). Commercia] was the second Public/Semi-Public vv<l.s1hc second
largest category of land use within the City (approximately U62 3-;B00-acres), followed hy
Recreation/Open Space (approximate]y ],1] 7 acres) and Puh]ic/Semi Puh]ic (approximate]y
] ,4] 7 acres) (As per 2006 EAR)
. Since 1989, the majority of the amendments made to the Future Land Use Map haYe. involved
parcels under one acre in size. (Editorial)
. Clearwater has .6...2.8 3-:6_tcn (10) times more land devoted to open space / recreation uses such as
golf courses than industrial use ClllL4-R vs. 246 acres). The economic base of the City is
tourism, retirement income, retailing and services. These sectors of the economy need to be
maintained and enhanced. (Updated text)
. Clearwater is the third largest City in the metropolitan area; it is a net importer of labor, and a
focus of shopping, health care, recreation and office employment. The transportation system
must be maintained and improved to connect the region's urban centers and support economic
growth objectives.

B. TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT
INTRODUCTION
Purpase
This Transportation Element replaces the Traffic Circulation, Mass Transit and Ports and Aviation
Elements that were part of the adopted City of Clearwater Comprehensi'!e Plan in 1999. The purpose of
the Transportation Element is to plan for a multi-modal transportation system in Clearwater which includes
public transit, bicycling, walking, air travel, rail facilities, vehicular traffic and parking facilities, establish
intermodal connections and support the Future Land Use Element.
The City of Clearviater is required ooder Chapter 163, Florida Statutes (FS), the "Local Government
Comprehensi'/e Planning and Land Development Act" and the requirements of the Florida Department of
Commooity Affairs (DCA) Rule 9J 5, Florida Administrative Code (FAC), to produce a Transportation
Element because it is locat-ed 'Nithin the urbanized area of the Pinellas County Metropolitan Planning
Organization.
The City af Clearwater shall pravide required analysis in accardance with Chapter 163, F.S. and 9J
S.tH9 F.f-..C. by Octaber 1,2000.

Transportation Needs Summary
The following summarizes Clearwater's transportation needs the Transportation Element: (Editorial).
Traffic Circulation
. Multi -modal transportation improvements to Clearwater Beach should continue to be planned
and/or utilized to alleviate traffic congestion and parking demands on the Memorial Causeway
and the beach. their great-est extent possible, including replacement of the Memorial Cause'liay
~. (Editorial).
. Access management to improve traffic flow will continue to be an important issue in development
reviews, with particular emphasis on congested links.
. The traffic concurrency system will continue to monitor vehicle trips on the roadway system.
. Belleair Road (CR462) and Clearwater Memorial Causeway (SR60) Many roads in the City are
physically and/or environmentally constrained and will continue to operate below the acceptable
levels-of-service. (Editorial).
. The City will continue to work with Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). the
Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO). Tampa Bay Area Regional Transportation Authority
(TBARTA). Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority (PSTA) and other '/arious agencies to promote
transportation alternatives and demand management. (Editorial).
. Recent and proposed FDOT improvements including new overpasses, frontage roads, and limited
access to u.s. 19 are alleviating currently is any prior ffleF capacity issues that were due to both
local traffic from adjacent development and regional int-crcity movement, the control of which was
is-beyond Clearwater's jurisdiction. (Editorial).
Mass Transit
. Mass transit service is provided by the system of buses operated by the Pinellas Suncoast Transit
Authority (PSTA P.STA. ). All arterial and collector streets in the City are now served by PSTA.
Only four (1) areas of the City are outside a service radius of t'.','o thousand (2,000) feet of fix-ed
routes. Three (3) of these unserved areas are Countryside/Landmark Drive, Island Estat-es, and Del
Oro Gro'/es; the fourth is the south portion of Sand Key. No unserved areas have concentrations of
10'll income or elderly people. (Editorial to reflect current situation)
. Fixed route service is generally adequate to provide service to low income and areas of elderly
concentration. Elderly and handicapped transportation is supplemented by dial-a-ride service.
. Mass transit service is operated by a countywide agency subsidized by State and Federal funds and
Ad Valorem taxes.
. Mass transit provisions should be included in future road expansions to allow for more efficient
commuter patterns.
. The City will continue to work with the PSTA. MPO, TBARTA. and other agencies to promote the
use of mass transit with the PSTA, MPO and others, and address needs as identified in the long
range mass transit plans. (Editorial)

Aviation
. Clearwater Airpark is a general aviation airport with no control tower, it has a three thousand
(3,000) foot runway, and it is the home base for over one hundred aircraft. It has no Stat-e or
Federal funding for improvements, and is under local control with restricted hours of operation and
limitations on the types of operations that may be conducted. (Update as per the City's Marine and
Aviation Operations Manager at the 06-11-08 CAC meeting - the City does not get Federal funds,
however, the City gets State funds).
. Most of Clearwater's aviation needs are will be satisfied by use of the passenger and freight
facilities at Tampa International Airport and at St. Petersburg/Clearwater Airport; private aircraft
needs can also be accommodated at St. Petersburg/Clearwater Airport.
. Current and predicted off-site environmental impacts are not anticipated to be a source of
incompatibility based on Federal Aviation Administration's (F.A.A.) official land use guidance.
. An updated Airport Master Plan was ~ developed in 2002 to identify improvements necessary
to maintain and enhance airport operations. Updates to the Airport Master Plan are planned to be
made by 2010 to include the current size of the property and planned facilities. (EAR Part IV).

C. HOUSING ELEMENT
Introduction
The purpose of the Housing Element is to provide guidance to the City to develop appropriate plans and
polices to meet identified or projected deficits in the supply of housing for the different economic sectors
and needs in the community. The intent is to address the City's activities as well as to provide direction
and assistance to the efforts ofthe private sector.
The housing element consists of standards, plans, and principles to be followed in:
. The provision of housing for all current and anticipated future residents ofthe city,
. The elimination of substandard dwelling conditions,
. The structural and aesthetic improvement of existing housing,
. The provision of adequate sites for future housing, including affordable housing, group home
facilities, residential shelters, foster care facilities, transitional and permanent supportive
housing,
. The provision for relocation of housing and identification of historically significant and other
housing for purposes of conservation, rehabilitation, or replacement,
. The formulation of housing implementation programs, and
. A plan for ensuring affordable workforce housing that would, at a minimum, identify adequate
sites for such housing. (EAR, Part III, Issue of Local Concern: Housing)
Housing Needs Summary
The following summarizes the Housing Element:
. The mix of housing types is proportional with is fairly c'lcnly di'/idcd bctwccn single-family at
45% and multi-family homes at 48% of existing housing stock, with much of the growth
attributed to multi-family housing. Mobile homes account for approximately 1&% of the total
housing units in the City. City policies with regard to zoning and development will need to
continue to recognize this housing mix. (EAR, Part III, Issue of Local Concern: Housing)
. The increase in the cost of new single-family homes has risen dramatically faster than the sale
price of existing single-family homes. To maintain affordable housing, rehabilitation and
neighborhood preservation is to be preferred over demolition and redevelopment of existing
neighborhoods.
. Close to 40 percent of renters of "renter occupied housing units" pay more than sixty percent of
household income for housing. ',\Thilc thc mcdian cost of housing was less than thirty pcrccnt
(30%) of incomc across thc board for owncr occupicd houscholds; thc mcdian cost was forty
five percent (15%) of income for 10'lier income renters. Accordingly, there continues to be a
need for affordable housing for very low, low, and moderate-income households. (2000 Census)
. Although the number of housing units lacking complete plumbing, kitchen facilities or heating
equipment is relatively small (less than 0.5%) and was has been declining prior to 1990, it--H;
incidental to rental housing. the 2000 Census showed an increase from 85 to 169 units over 1990
figures. This data needs to be confirmed by the 2010 Census in order to be validated. Close
cooperation with the Census Bureau to ensure an accurate count in the 2010 Census is critical.
Meanwhile, ~Gontinued code enforcement to reduce these conditions further should be
supported.

. Clearwater's Community Development Code provides for group homes and group care facilities
and rcquircs a minimum scparation rcquircmcnt of 1,000 fect bctwccn such uscs. Certain types
of facilities, such as child or spouse abuse centers require increased confidentiality and require
additional coordination by the police department and the Department of Health and
Rehabilitative Services. (Editorial)
. The population of the City of Clearwater is expected to grow to 121,352 112,g30 permanent
residents by the year 2020 Wl-Q.., To accommodate permanent and seasonal residents and
maintain a healthy vacancy rate, approximately 4,460 ~ new housing units will be needed.
(EAR, Part II, Population Forecast Analysis: Updated Population Forecasts; EAR, Part III,
Issue of Local Concern: Housing)
. Large, vacant parcels of land are scarce in Clearwater. Because of this, infill development of
small vacant lots and under-utilized parcels will be necessary, and should be encouraged, to
provide for new households.
. Impact fees significantly affect the cost of new housing. Methods of balancing the objectives of
affordable housing and adequate infrastructure need to be explored.
. Clearwater will continue, as it has in the past, to promote and support fair housing practices.
. While local data is unavailable for the specific number of homeless in Clearwater, a
County-wide survey conducted by the Pinellas County Coalition for the Homeless in 2007,
identified a total of 5,195 homeless men, women and children in Pinellas County. The City is a
member of the Coalition as well as the Pinellas County Homeless Policy Group. (EAR, Part III,

Coastal Management
E. COASTAL MANAGEMENT
The intent of the coastal management element is to provide policies to guide the City of Clearwater's
coastal water programs with respect to such areas as the coastal zone environment, wildlife and marine
life, utilization and preservation of all living and nonliving coastal zone resources, avoidance of loss of
coastal zone resources, ecological planning principles for permitting development, and the protection of
human life against the effects of natural disasters.
Coastal disaster management is a coordinated regional effort in accordance with state and federal
regulations that primarily involves the minimization of the vulnerability to and preparedness for
hurricanes affecting certain areas of coastal communities.
Recreational surface water use policies address public access to the water, and protection of working
waterfronts, recreation and economic demands.
Coastal Management Needs Summary
The following summarizes the Coastal Management Element:
. Clearwater's coastal zonc coastal storm area is any area that includes the Coastal High Hazard
Area (CHHA), all areas connected to the mainland of Clearwater by bridges or causeways, those
areas at relatively higher elevations that are surrounded by the CHHA or by the CHHA and a
body of water and all areas located within the Velocity Zone as designated by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). This area includes the barrier islands and land
adjacent to Clearwater Harbor and Tampa Bay. 0)(t-ensi','c, with Q','cr two thousand two hlHldrcd
(2,200) acrcs on thc barricr islands, Clcarwat-er Harbor, and Tampa Bay. The diversity of
natural systems and development patterns are a complex environment with a wide range of
problems issues to be addressed. (Internal consistency; editorial)
. Land use patterns are generally compact. Water-dependent uses, which occupy a relatively
small part of the overall shoreline, are defined to be marinas, beach access, boat launch areas
and docks, wastewater plants, and beach concessions. Water-related uses are marine sales,
marine product distribution, motels and related tourist facilities, and public parking; these
occupy much of the land on Clearwater Beach and Sand Key but are not as significant in other
parts of the coastal storm area Wile. Water-dependent and water-related uses need to be given
an emphasis in planning and permitting shoreline development. (Internal consistency)
. The economic base of the coastal storm area Wile is largely tourism, which plays an important
role for the County as a whole. Commercial uses, including tourism businesses, need
revitalization, and the Beach bv Design: A Preliminary Design for Clearwater Beach and
Design Guidelines "Onc City, Onc Futurc" program will addresses the needs of Clearwater
Beach. (Internal consistency; editorial)
. The most significant areas for environmental preservation are the north end of Clearwater
Beach, the sea grass beds in Clearwater Harbor, and Cooper's Point, with secondary significance
determined for the Clearwater Harbor spoil islands, Sand Key Park, aad the south shore of

F. CONSERVATION ELEMENT
The intent and purpose of the City's Conservation Element is for the conservation, use and protection of
natural resources in the area, including air, water, water-recharge areas, wetlands, soils, beaches, shores,
flood plains, harbors, bays, minerals, and other natural and environmental resources. The maps for this
element generally identify and depict these areas.
Conservation Needs Summary
The following summarizes the needs identified in the Conservation Element:
. The protection, maintenance, and continued management of Clearwater's surface water
resources, including both interior and coastal waters, are important for their natural functions.
. Clearwater's groundwater supplies are important and must be protected to ensure the
continuance of the City's ability to provide potable water t-o its accounts.
. The protection, maintenance, and continued management of Clearwater's shorelines, especially
its barrier island beach shorelines, is critical. These areas provide an important social and
economic function as these natural resources for Clearwater's tourism industry. Clearwater
Beach, Sand Key, and the geographic proximity to Caladesi Island State Park are some of the
most important and unique resources the City possesses.
. The protection, maintenance, and continued management ofthe City's seven hundred sixty (760)
si)( hundred twenty three (623) acres of natural wetlands including tidal swamps and marshes,
both interior and coastal, are critical to the continued existence of both plant and animal wildlife
and wildlife habitat. These areas contribute to Clearwater's quality of life. Wetlands shall not
be destroyed, disturbed, or altered to prevent them from performing their natural functions,
except through the implementation of State or City mitigation standards as dC'leloped by the
Gity. (First change: 2005 Wetlands Survey by Parsons Engineering; editorial).
. Public awareness and education programs are an important component in promoting and
preserving the natural environment and the use of "Florida friendly" vegetation. (parks &
Recreation term as recommended by CAC).
. Black, red, and white mangrove trees are important to the continuance of many species of
marine life. Protection ofthese resources is crucial to the food chain necessary to sustain marine
life and shoreline stabilization.
. Protection of the edges or "ecotones" associated with the different ecosystems is important to
natural function and Clearwater's quality of life.
. Scenic vistas shall remain designated as "scenic and/or non-commercial highways or corridors."
They are specifically: Memorial Causeway; Edgewater Drive; the Courtney Campbell
Causeway/Parkway which is also designated a Florida Scenic Highway; Gulf Boulc'lard;
Bayshore Boulevard; and Bayside Bridge Belleair Road between U.S. Highway 19 and Belcher

Read-: (Consistency with 2008 Countywide Scenic/Non-Commercial Corridor Map, and the
Florida Department of Transportation 's Florida Scenic Highway Program).
. Tampa Bay has been ranked top priority for the Surface Water Improvement and Management
Program (S.W.I.M.). Clearwater and other municipalities contiguous to Tampa Bay will
continue to cooperate and participate in the effort of cleaning-up the bay and restoring marine
life and shellfish fisheries.
. Soil erosion is an issue that must continue to be managed for all applicable properties in the City
through the site plan review process. Areas 0)(periencing erosion are 10cat-ed on Sand Key,
Clearwater Beach and Spoil Island fl25. These areas are discussed in great-er detail in the
Coastal Zone Management Element. (Spoil Island #25 is now protected by a "groin "; editorial).
. Shade trees provide a number of valuable functions that include noise reduction, heat reduction,
buffering, aesthetic beauty, and replenishment of ambient oxygen. The City of Clearwater will
continue to administer tree regulations requiring sufficient plantings through the Community
Development Code, and provide assistance to private property owners as needed.
. The City should continue to cooperate and participate in all efforts recommended by the Pine lias
County Environmental Management Department, Division of Air Quality, toward the attainment
of cleaner and healthier ambient air quality.
. Land uses which are associated with hazardous wastes and/or hazardous materials should be
restricted from locating within designated wellfield protection areas that have been delineated on
the future land use map. Cooperation from all other adjacent local governments is crucial to the
success of this proposal, and will be coordinated through the Intergovernmental Coordination
Element.
. The City of Clearwater will continue coordinate and participate with Pine lias County in an effort
to provide a temporary storage and transfer facility to serve residential households in disposing
of hazardous/toxic wastes and unused hazardous/toxic materials.

Recreation and Open Space
G. RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE ELEMENT
The purpose of the Recreation and Open Space Element is to provide the framework and direction for a
comprehensive system of public and private sites for recreation, including, but not limited to, parks and
playgrounds, parkways, beaches and public access to beaches, open spaces, waterways, and other
recreational facilities.
Recreation and Open Space Needs Summary
The following summarizes the Recreation and Open Space Element:
. There are three (3) principalland uses within the Recreation and Open Space element: parks,
recreation facilities and open space. There are three (3) classifications of open space and four (1)
classifications of related land uses identified in the Recreation and Open Space element. The
benefits of these land uses open space and related land uses are many and include development
pattern, aesthetic, environmental and recreational benefits. These land uses provide a benefit to
the City and will continue to be incorporated into development and redevelopment plans.
(Editorial).
. Currently, n -W:9% of the City's totalland area falls under the existing land use classification of
"recreation open space," which includes parkland and recreational facilities. and includes parks,
preservation areas and 'Iacant land. (EAR Part II, Location of Development)
. Vacant land (3% ofland in the City) provides certain open space benefits to the City, and its loss
will continue to be partially offset through the dedication of open space land on-site or
elsewhere in the City. (EAR Part II, Location of Development)
. Beautification of open space along the gateway corridors is needed to enhance the City's image
g-9istinguishing "core" parkland, i.e., community, neighborhood, mffii..; and scenic parks from
other "adjunct" parklandj: it is fOlHld that a current Le','el of Service (1.9) acres per one thousand
(1,000) persons is prm'ided. (EAR Part IV; and editorial)
. An established minimum Ibevel of ~Service of four (4) acres per one thousand (1,000) persons

Capital Improvements
I. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ELEMENT
The intent of the capital improvements element is to provide a component that outlines principles for
construction, extension, or increase in capacity of public facilities, which are necessary to implement the
comprehensive plan and to provide estimated public facility costs, needs, generallocation of the facilities,
and proiected revenue sources to fund the facilities. Standards to ensure the availability and the adequacy
of public facilities including acceptable levels of service (LOS) and standards for the management of debt
are included in the element.
A schedule of capital improvements, which includes details, agreements and revenue sources for all
publicly and privately funded proiects, is necessary to ensure that adopted level-of-service standards
(LOS) are achieved and maintained. Transportation improvements in coordination with the Pinellas
County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) are included.
The City's 6-year Capital Improvements Program (CIP) provides the mechanism to implement the capital
portion of the City Comprehensive Plan and support the City Council's "Vision" priorities. The CIP,
updated by ordinance within the City's annual operating and capital budget, meets the state requirement to
cover at least a 5-year period. A copy of the ordinance which updates the CIP is required to be transmitted
annually to the state land-planning agency, the Department of Community Affairs (DCA).
Capital Improvements Element Needs Summary
The following summarizes several of the current capital improvements and funding sources proposed for
public facilities supported in the other Comprehensive Plan Elements and as specified in the City's six-
year schedule of the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) that is updated and adopted annually by the City
Council: Capital Impro'.'ements Element
(Some projects previously indicated in this section were completed as noted - examples of planned
improvements for public facilities supported in the other Comprehensive Plan Elements are listed below.
Capital needs are addressed annually within the CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT ORDINANCE that
includes the complete schedule for the City's Capital Improvement Program with detailed project
descriptions as given in the annual fiscal year operating and capital budget document and those that
are linked to the Comprehensive Plan are referenced to applicable GOP's. The annual fiscal year
budget document will be provided as data and analysis for this element and submitted to DCA
annually with the update to the CIE).

D. UTILITIES ELEMENT
Introduction
The purpose of the Utilities Element is to provide guidance to the City to develop appropriate plans and
polices to meet identified or projected deficits in the supply of utilities for the different economic sectors and
needs in the community. The intent is to address the City's activities as well as to provide direction and
assistance to the efforts of the private sector, as the private sector plans, designs, and constructs new buildings
and subdivisions.
The utilities element consists of standards, plans, and principles to be followed in:
. The provision of utilities for all current and anticipated future residents ofthe city,
. The provision of specific utilities to address sanitary sewer, stormwater and stormwater management,
potable water and natural ground water aquifer recharge needs, and solid waste.
Utilities Ytility Needs Summary
The following summarizes the Utilities Ytility Element:
Sanitary Sewer
. Rainfall during the rainy season exerts the greatest influence in producing peak wastewater flows or
infiltration. The City has embarked on an extensive evaluation of the sanitary sewer system. The
information for the evaluation will be included in a Master Plan which will direct the lining and
replacement of the older sewer lines.
. The Marshall Street treatment facility provides service at a rate of one hundred and twenty-four (124)
gallons per capita per day (GPCPD).
. The Clearwater East treatment facility provides service at a rate of one hundred and fourteen (114)
gallons per capita per day (GPCPD). The East plant and Northeast plant are connected by a two-way
force main.
. The Northeast Regional Wastewater treatment facility provides service at a rate of one hundred and
forty eight (148) gallons per capita per day (GPCPD).
. Clearwater's projected peak population in w.w 2020 will be 164,356 135,910 permanent and
seasonal residents and guests. Sewage flow rates projected for w.w 2020 will utilize sC'/enty four
percent (71%) sixty-nine percent (69%) of the system capacity. (Updated demographics;
Engineering Department)
. Clearwater has adequate sewage treatment, collection capacity and system redundancy to serve
existing and planned development. Current total design capacity is twenty-eight and a half (28.5)
MGD; with four MGD allocated to the City of Safety Harbor through interlocal agreement.

. The City requires all new development to provide sanitary sewer systems to connect to appropriate
sewage treatment districts. New septic tanks should not be permitted. Residents located in nearby
unincorporated areas using septic tanks should connect to the City sewage system as sewer lines
become available. Soil characteristics have moderate to severe limitations in areas where septic use
has been identified.
. Currently there are four (4) private treatment plants in areas adjacent to the City. As these "package
treatment plants" become inoperable the City should encourage those needing sanitary sewer service
to connect to the City sewage system. The City should continue to require annexation into the City
when connecting to the City sewer system.
. Clearwater has undertaken major pumping station replacement and upgrades for pumping stations
located throughout the city. Betty Lane was replaced in 1997, Sand Key will be operational within the
calendar year and Mort-on Plant shall be completed by 2000. Upgrades to twenty four (24) additional
pumping stations will be completed based on the recommendations from the Pump Station Capital
Improvement Report. The remaining stations will be evaluated and a scheduled renewal and
replacement program will be developed. (Editorial)
Solid Waste
. The Florida Solid ',Vast-c Management Act of 1988 (Chapt-cr 88 130, Laws of Florida) required all
local gO'/emments t-o reduce their solid wast-c stream by thirty percent (30%) by 1991. The reduction
has been achie'/ed and C),ceeded with the reduction in the 1999 waste stream at forty fi','e percent
( 15 %). This end was achie'/ed by the utilization of source separation and recycling of glass,
newspaper, plastic, cardboard, office paper, other metals and alumilRlm containers. This effort
includes commercial, multi family and single family residential recyclables. Reco'/ered mat-crials
from the commercial '.vast-c stream arc a'lailable t-o regist-cred pri'/at-c reco'lered mat-crials dealers on
an open competiti'/e basis. (Complete)
. The City of Clearwater has entered into an interlocal agreement with Pinellas County to assist the
County in accomplishing responsibilities emanating from the recycling program mandated by the
State.
. The City of Clearwater adopted an ordinance in April 1999 regarding the screening of all dumpst-crs
and recycling containers which is estimated t-o be completed by 2005. This initiati'/e, amongst other
components includes an incenti'le program t-o complet-c the process by the schedule dat-c. (Complete)
. Voluntary cooperation and participation in the residential curbside source separation program is
imperative to the success of the program and wHl-depend~ on the willingness of City residents. Public
awareness and education programs are important elements to motivate the citizenry to maintain their
support and participation in the residential curbside separation program. (Editorial)
. The recycling of used office paper generated by City of Clearwater personnel will contribute to the
preservation of natural resources and will continue to be a source of revenue for the City to help offset
the cost of office paper.
. The necessity to monitor market fluctuations for the price of recyclable materials should be reviewed"
at all times; this should accompany a regular and continuous market evaluation to optimize revenue
received.

. The solid waste blevel of S~ervice is based on a demand of seven and twelve one hundredths (7.12)
pounds per capita per day.
. Clearwater residents sould continue to partake in the utilization of the Pinellas County small quantity
generator disposal site for hazardous/toxic waste materials for households and small generators of
hazardous wastes. The City should also promote the Household Chemical Collection program that is
held on an annual basis.
Storm water Management
. The City of Clearwater needs to will continue to monitor the stormwater management utility fee rate
structure and amend it as required to remain competitive and maintain an adequate funding source to
provide revenue for flood control, maintenance, retrofitting, and treatment of stormwater. In addition
to the hydraulic improvements, this would improve the quality of stormwater discharging into surface
waters, and will complement the measures proposed in the Surface Water Improvement and
Management (SWIM) program and the Tampa Bay National Estuary Program to improve surface
water quality standards. (Editorial)
. The City of Clearwater needs to take advantage of any alternative funding opportunities that may
become available from any State agency with regard to watershed management and/or general
stormwater improvements.
. The City of Clearwater needs to continue to reduce flooding problems and strive for abatement of
flood damage to houses and streets.
. The City of Clearwater needs to continue to coordinate stormwater management improvement efforts
with Pinellas County and other incorporated areas adj acent to Clearwater City limits for both water
quality and attenuation.
. The City of Clearwater needs to continue to maintain, correct deficiencies and improve, where
necessary, current levels of service. Maintenance and improvement of the City stormwater
management system must be recognized as a service provided by the City on a regular and continuous
basis.
. The City of Clearwater needs to continue to prepare stormwater management plans which will
identify and prioritize the implementation of programs to improve and enhance stormwater quality
and quantity.
. Natural and man-made wetlands need to be utilized for stormwater storage and protected as natural
resources. Wetlands provide a natural wildlife habitat and groundwater recharge functions which are
pivotal characteristics of the natural and urbanized environment. Such features are firmly established
within Clearwater's quality of life values.
. The City of Clearwater must continue to obtain appropriate permits from all environmental regulatory
agencies prior to implementation of water resource proj ects.
. The City of Clearwater needs to research and develop new methods that are technically,
environmentally, and economically viable of treating stormwater runoff before final discharge to
improve and enhance local surface waters.

. The city needs to proceed forward in its planning, design and engineering of the proposed downtown
lake which has been included in the City's twenty year Downtown Redevelopment Plan. The
proposed lake will serve as a basin for stormwater attenuation and water quality management, as well
as enhancing the aesthetic beauty of the downtown area.
. The City of Clearwater needs to continue to participate in the National Flood Insurance Program's
Community Rating System (NFIP/CRS). Clearwater has been an active participant since 1990.
Potable Water and Natural Ground Water Aquifer Recharge Needs
. Clearwater has maintained an interlocal agreement with Pinellas County since 1955 with
approximately eighty percent (80%) sixty-three percent (63%) of its water supply emanating from the
County. The City also maintains a water use permit issued through the Southwest Florida Water
Management District (SWFWMD) to pump an average of.g 6.25 million gallons daily (MGD) from
its eight-cen nineteen active wellheads. The decline in the ability to produce potable wat-cr from
Clearwater wells is becoming e'/ident. Clearwater cannot maintain its existing le'/cls of service t-o
meet the City's potable wat-cr demand without purchasing approximatdy eight to t\veh'e MGD. In
2007, the actual average pump age from the City's wells is was approximately ~ 2 MGD. The balance
of the City's water demand is met through purchase from Pinellas County. In order to meet the city's
future potable water supply needs in a fiscally responsible manner, several alternative actions must be
explored and initiated both individually or in combination with other water supply source alternatives.
The City's Water Suvvlv Plan - Cavital Imvrovements Imvlementation Master Plan (Oct 2004)
includes projects based upon cost-benefit analysis that will enable the City to increase its local
production of potable water to ten (0) MGD by 2015. Cost benefit analysis will be necessary for
each alternati'/e in order of priority. (Engineering Department)
. Conservation of potable water supplies is of paramount importance to the City. Clearwater will
continue to support Pinellas County and participate in the immediate action to provide for new
potable water supplies at a reasonable cost.
. Clearwater must continue to utilize and provide efficient use of reclaimed water for irrigation
purposes for both public and private use. Furthermore, it must constantly evaluate its approach to the
desalination of marine water using reverse osmosis technology to provide a form of potable water
backup for periods of drought, and when natural groundwater levels drop to critically low levels.
. Clearwater shall continue to explore and participate proportionately in the regional/and or County
desalination and/ or reverse osmosis alternative strategies.
. The City needs to continue to recognize potable water as a scarce resource and to continue to operate
the water utility prudently in implementing both conservation and consumption objectives. The
current water consumption rate is approximately one hundred and t\'lenty (120) (00) gallons
gallons/person/day, which includes both the seasonal and permanent population of Clearwater and is
inclusive of both City produced water and County purchased water. (Engineering Department)
. The City needs to continue to coordinate with the Southwest Florida Management District
(SWFWMD) in the study to determine surficial groundwater direction and flow at various depths.
Groundwater data will continue to be needed to determine future well sites and conditions of
subsurface transmissivity. This data will be an important tool for management of Clearwater's
wellhead operation to determine the City's ability to continue to provide future water
supplies. (Editorial)

. The City, in conjunction with the City's Water Use Permit, needs to continue to develop an ultimate
well head plan field management plan, including well configurations, pumping schedules, water
quality monitoring and mitigation plans. This is needed to assure the continued supply of well
withdrawal in accordance with the City's water use permit which is C)(pect-cd t-o be has been reduced

continue to be involved with the Tampa Bay Area Regional Transportation Authority
(TBARTA) process. (Editorial)
. Funds and permits to alh.v for the earliest replacement of the Cleanvat-er Pass Bridge need to
receive the highest priority from Federal, State, and local jurisdictions due to the need to provide
for safe hurricane e'/acuation and contilRlation of access. (Bridge Comvlete)
. Recreation needs of enclave residents should be addressed through interlocal agreements,
transfer of funds, or other appropriate methods.
. Continued c Goordination is needed with the water management district and the State of Florida
Department of Environmental ProtectionRegulation to define and protect cones of influence
surrounding public water supply wells. (Editorial)
. The City will continue to facilitate the local level process for private sector lli&.cl1 renourishment

BOARD QUESTIONNAIRE
1. What is your understanding of the board's duties and responsibilities?
I understand that the Sister Cities Advisory Board is in place to preserve the
great relationship between Nagano, Japan and Clearwater. They try to better
the program in any way possible.
2. Have you ever observed a board meeting either in person or on C-View,
the City's TV station?
After returning from Nagano with the 2007 Student Exchange, my fellow
students and I attended a board meeting to present the city with the gifts
given to them by Nagano.
3. What background and/or qualifications do you have that you feel would
qualify you to serve this Board?
As a past Exchange Student I know how it is to connect with a different
culture. The Sister Cities Advisory Board attempts to better this connection
and, because I have previously connected with the Japanese culture, I feel I
am qualified to propose and make decisions on bettering the program.
4. Why do you want to serve on this Board?
I would like to serve on the Board because I believe that I could help better
the program. I see the program from the eyes of a teenager and could help
mold the program to appeal more to teenagers. This would strengthen the
program for future generations and increase cultural awareness to youth.

WHEREAS, the orderly flow of motorized traffic is a major concern in
congested urban areas, particularly because an obstruction or delay in traffic at one

employment from the occupants of motor vehicles being operated on public streets
in Clearwater; and
WHEREAS, unlike the oral advocacy of ideas, or even the distribution of
free literature, successful solicitation from drivers distracts them from their
primary duty to watch the traffic and potential hazards in the road, observe all
traffic control signals or warnings, and prepare to move through the intersection
because the individual is required to respond to the solicitor by, for example,
searching for currency, passing it along to the solicitor, securing any change
returned, replacing a wallet or closing a purse, and then returning proper
attention to the full responsibilities of operating a motor vehicle; and
WHEREAS, there are numerous and diverse methods of soliciting
available in the city that provide ample alternatives for solicitation, including
soliciting pedestrians on the sidewalk, canvassing door-to-door, telephoning
individuals, or direct mailing; and
WHEREAS, the Ordinance is narrowly aimed at the disruptive nature of
soliciting the occupants of motor vehicles being operated on public streets and is
not intended to restrict the communication of ideas, including the distribution of
free literature to occupants of motor vehicles or even the solicitation of the
occupants of motor vehicles that are lawfully parked; and
WHEREAS, failure to restrict solicitations of the occupants of motor
vehicles being operated on public streets will endanger the health, safety, and
general welfare of the public by permitting unsafe pedestrian movement within
travel lanes, sudden stoppage or slowdown of traffic, rapid lane changing, turns,
and other dangerous traffic movement, increased vehicular accidents, and
motorist injuries and fatalities; and

WHEREAS, although the City Council has a substantial governmental
interest in enhancing traffic safety and ensuring the free flow of traffic, the
Council also seeks not to sweep too broadly in its prohibitions so as not to
burden more speech than is necessary to promote its governmental interest; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that a balance can be
reached between its governmental interest in enhancing traffic safety and
ensuring the free flow of traffic and a solicitor's First Amendment right to solicit by
authorizing street solicitations when the solicitors comply with the conditions set
forth below; now therefore,
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY

Mr. Horne,
My name is Paul Trunk and I represent the Clearwater Audubon Society. CAS is asking the city enact an
ordinance banning dogs from north Clearwater Beach. This past year we have been involved in a project
with the Clearwater Police Department. The project consisted of posting signs on the North Clearwater
Beach area in an attempt to keep dogs out of the shorebird nesting areas. As you know the area north
of Mandalay Ave.to Caladesi State Park has the only remaining prime nesting habitat left on the beach.
have done surveys on the nesting birds there for both Eckerd College and Florida Game and Fish
Commission for the past 4 years. We have always had a problem with dogs, both leashed and
unleashed, running through that habitat during nesting season. I had hoped that the posting of signs
would have some impact....it has not. As I walk that area during my surveys I find dog tracks well
beyond the boundary of the signs. A fe,^, years back we had a colony of 80 threatened Least Terns
nesting in the area. Within 2 weeks all the nests were abandoned because of the amount of disturbance.
This year we have only one pair of Wilson's Plovers that have nested on that area of the beach. The
habitat in that area can support not only Wilson's Plovers, but also Least Terns, Black Skimmers and
Snowy Plovers. All of these species are of special concern to the state and federal government because
of the loss of their nesting ha bitat.
The CPO and I contacted the homeowners who live along that stretch of the beach and their support of
the "No Dogs" sign project was overwhelming. There are plenty of places that have been created for
dog owners to take their dogs and run. We feel that north Clearwater Beach should not be one ofthose
areas. I am making a formal request to create an ordinance that would ban dogs from Somerset Avenue,
north to the Caladesi State Park border in order to protect the habitat for these beach nesting birds. Thank you for
all you for the city of Clearwater and I look forward to hearing from you.
