Meeting Date: :,r7~. ~~~'fr;, SUBJECT: MI LLAGE RATE FOR FISCAL YEAR 1996/97 RECOMMENDATION/MOTION: Adopt a tentative millage rate of 5.1158 mills for fiscal year 1996/97 and set Public Hearings on the Budgp.t for September 5, 1996 and September 19, 1996 to be held no earlier than 6:00 p.m., 00 and that the appropriate officials be authorized 10 execute same. BACKGROUND: In accordance with the TRIM Bill process it is necessary for the City Commission to adopt a tentative millage rate prior to finalizing and adopting the Budget. The tentative millage rate will be included in the TRIM Bill notices sent to taxpayers in early August and cannot be increased without special mailing; however, the millage rate may be decreased prior to the adoption of the final budget. The City Manager's recommended millage rate of 5.1158 mills is the same as the rate for the current year. If the recommended 5.1158 mills rate is adopted, all advertising requirements will indicate a tax increase of 1.2% over the rolled back rate of 5.0547 mills. The rolled back rate, according to the State's definition, is a millage. rate which exclusive of new construction, additions to structures, deletions, and property added due to geographic boundary changes, will provide the same ad valorem tax revenue as was levied the prior year. In order to avoid any advertised increase the rate of 5.0547 mills would have to be adopted, generating $21,015,290, requiring a $254,030 reduction in the recommended budget. To summarize the effect of the recommended increase of 5.1158 mills on an individual Clearwater taxpayer: If an individual's property tax value has not increased (i.e., no reassessment), there would be no increase in Clearwater's share of property taxes. If an individual's tax value has increased (i.e. reassessment), the tax increase would be the same percentage increase. (A 4% increase in value would result in a 4% increase in Clearwater's share of taxes.)

These items include the following: . · Funding for the additional position of Staff Assistant for the Assistant City Manager responsible for Economic Development - estimated cost of $28,000 including benefits, · Funding for an additional position of Administrative Support Manager reporting to the Assistant City Manager responsible for Economic Development - estimated cost of $ 41,000, . Maintenance of 81. Petersburg Jr. College Fields - estimated $60,000, . City Hall in the Mall - estimated $ 37,560, · Social Service funding. The technical Review Committee made a recommendation to increase the funding to be considered for social service grants which is currently $62,000. Funding requests for FY 1996/97 totaled $257,200, and for FY 1995/96 $152,472, of which funding of only $62,000 is recommended for FY 1996/97 and approved in 1995/96. As. a possible solution to these needs, on Friday, June 28, at 3:44 p.m., which is the same afternoon that the 1996/97 budget was in print, the Department of Revenue finally faxed estimated revenue estimates for the 1996/97 fiscal year. Based on these estimates, we will be provided with $206,570 of additional revenues not included in the recommended budget. These revenues could be used to fund all of the needs addressed above, or one or more of any of the above items. One-half Cent Sales Tax Revenue Sharing Cigarette Tax Additional Revenues Recommended Budget $4,532,590 2,012,210 290,980 State Estimate $4,652,460 2,105,450 284,440 Difference $119,870 93,240 ( 6.540) $206.570 Of course, the above revenues, or any portion of the above, could also be used to reduce the reconunended millage rate. The reduction of $206,570 in ad valorem tax revenues would result in a millage rate of 5.0661, which is a .2% increase over the rolled back rate of 5.0547 mills. 00 Prin~ on Recycled p~ " .' , .

Deptula, City Manager ~rL~~~ From: Ream Wilson, Director, Parks and Recreation Departme Date: June 17, 1996 RE: St. Petersburg Junior College Athletic Fields Recently, you and City Commissioners might have received some calls or Inquiries regarding the status of the three soccer fields and two baseball fields currently located at St. Petersburg Junior College, on the intersection of Drew Street and Old Coachman Road. Concerns are that the Junior College might not be In a financial position to continue the maintenance of the facilities and, if this is the case, the fields might not be available for community use. Currently, the primary user of the soccer fields Is the Clearwater Soccer Association with approximately 450 participants. The fields are also used by the Countryside Soccer Association, the Clearwater Chargers Thanksgiving Classic, the Sun Bowl Tournament, the Countryside Easter Tournament, the St. Petersburg Junior College club soccer team, and private school rentals. The two baseball f~elds are currently used by the St. Petersburg Junior College baseball team, the Clearwater For Youth baseball program with approximately 120 participants, Clearwater Junior and Senior Uttle Leagues, and private school rentals. As you can see, the fields are Important to the youth of Clearwater. In an effort to communicate correct information and to reduce or eliminate inaccuracies, a meeting was held at the Long Center on Wednesday evening, June 12. Attendees included Mr. Mark Abdo and Mr. Jim Appelt of the Long Center, Mr. and Mrs. Dan Brooks and Mr. Larry Ferrol of the Clearwater Soccer Association, Mr. Tom Williams, a businessman interested In constructing a commercial driving range on the property, Mr. Larry Dowd, our Recreation Facilities Superintendent, and myself. Mr. and Mrs. Brooks and Mr. Ferrol were, of course, concerned that they continue to have three regulation soccer fields available for their program. The Long Center and City staff agreed that this should be the primary objective. Mr. Williams presented his ideas for the construction of a commercial driving range to be located to the north and Immediate east of the gymnasium. Mr. Williams said that one baseball field would have to ,be removed, but that his plan would Include reconstruction of three regulation soccer fields which would be available to the Clearwater Soccer Association. The engineering firm with whom Mr. Williams is working was directed to prepare a .conceptual plan" showing exactly how the soccer fields, driving range, and remaining baseball field would be situated on the site. This conceptual plan would then be reviewed by all parties so that final decisions could be made. Again, the primary concern is that the Clearwater Soccer Association be satisfied with the number, size and layout of the soccer fields. I' r:1;....h....."'... '""__... .1_ ~.......uu U' ,w.. Uti'" LUlc;I June 17 I 1996 Page 2 At such time as the above Information Is available, it was generally agreed that two options might be available for consideration. OPTION ONE - Under this option, because of the importance of the athletic facilities to the youth of Clearwater, the City would assume all operational and maintenance expenses and operate the complex as If it were a City facility. The primary ADV ANT AGE of this option Is that all three soccer fields and two baseball fields would continue to be available and programs such as the Clearwater Soccer Association would continue to have adequate facilities. Junior College programs would also have priority and programs could be expanded as space and time were available. The primary DISADVANTAGE is the annual operating cost, which is estimated at $ 50,000 with an additional start-up cost of $10,000 for equipment. Further, in-kind services currently provided to the complex would continue including pest control and irrigation repairs by our Nursery Division, light maintenance and custodial services by our Recreation Facilities Division, and trash removal by our Parks Division. OPTION TWO - Under this option, a commercial driving range would be constructed with rent payments used to pay a private company to maintain the soccer and baseball fields. The Long Center would be the managing entity and would be responsible for monitoring the agreement with the commercial driving range, for scheduling all programs, and for overseeing the maintenance of the facilities using monies provided by the driving range. The primary ADVANTAGE of this option Is that three soccer fields and one baseball field would continue to be available on site at no cost to the Junior College, the Long Center, or the City. The private/public partnership of the driving range would provide funds for the maintenance and upkeep. Primary DISADV ANT AGES of this option include the loss of one regulation baseball field. Teams using the existing two fields will have to share the one facility or be scheduled elsewhere as space and time permit. Also, the Clearwater Soccer Association and other youth groups currently schedule the soccer fields through the City and this use has been free. Under this option, all groups would arrange their schedules through the Long Center and rental fees mayor may not be charged. The City would no longer be Involved as it is with other youth groups or focations. A third option which was not discussed at the meeting is the possibility of the City entering Into an agreement with the Junior CoJlege and the private driving range company. This might cover or defray maintenance costs as well as allowing the City to continue to schedule all groups. Again, this memorandum is preliminary and we are still gathering information on each option. Once completed, we hope to make a recommendation to your office and the City Commission for consideration. r. f' ,. > ,~. h "'c .......~ ,I ...~ . .......~ ......... t. Elizabeth M. Deptula June 17, 1996 Page 3 A single most Important Item for all of us to keep In mind is that the property and the facilities belong to St. Petersburg Junior College. The continuation or any change to arrangements must have Junior College approval. In this respect, I contacted Ms. Susan Reiter of the college to discuss their position. I was informed that the college, if possible, would like to see that all primary parties are satisfied and happy with final arrangements. It appears that they would be willing to consider various proposals to achieve this objective. Again, this is preliminary information and please contact me if you have any questions or desire further information. RW Ibd PARKS\BDOWNS\RW\DEPTULAOe 13
