With regards to the proposed October 2003 revisions of City Ordinance NO. 7163-03 the
reasoning for the changes to or deletion of the verbiage in the following Sections is as
follows:
Sec. 17.06. Fireworks displays and open fires:
1. (1) (a) due to a change in the verbiage in the State Statute bringing our Ordinance
into compliance.
2. (2) (a) due to a change in the verbiage in the State Statute bringing our Ordinance
into compliance.
3. (4) Dropping the Fee for the Open Fire Permit since it was only $22.50 and cost
more to collect and account for then real expenses and due to not many are
requested any more each year, In the past year only 3 were requested all were
issued and they were for non-profit organizations i.e, YMCA and Churches,
which did inquire about having the fees waived, but we did not have the authority
by ordinance to waive the fees.
Sec. 17.32. Adoption of National Fire Codes.
1. (1) Deletes verbiage related the to the antiquated terminology of adopting the
National Fire Codes and adds the appropriate verbiage addressing the adopting of
the FLORIDA FIRE PREVENTION CODE, Within the Florida Fire Prevention
Code State Statute adopts the National Fire Code as the applicable code,
Section 9.
Section 17.33, Code Of Ordinances is hereby deleted in its entirety:
Sec~ 17.33. Amendments.
This occurs since the present amendments are now addressed in verbiage within the
Florida Fire Prevention, and thus the deletion will make the city compliant with the
Florida Fire Prevention Code
I Clearwater Fire & Rescue *
Summary Overview
Ordinance Revisions to Chapters 5 & 17
. Each member of the Commission has been provided a briefing on the proposed changes to both
Chapter #5 (Fire Alarms) and Chapter #17 (Fire Prevention).
. Comparison Data is attached in the form of an E.'Xcel spreadsheet representing local and regional
municipalities that may / or may not, be similar in business practice.
Chapter #5- False Alanns
\X'ithin the current language of the existing Chapter- 5 ordinance, a 522.50 fee can be utilized
to provide an incentive to deter unnecessary alarm activity. The administrative costs
incurred to track, analyze, notify and collect this fee amount is currently cost prohibitive.
Monon Plant Hospital has 16 total alarms in this calendar year (through October 02,
2003). Fire Oftlcials and Hospital Staff have met to discuss the impact of the proposed fee
schedule and they understand and support this effort (Mr. Hal Ziecheck and Mr. Ed
Smollick).
Fees will only be assessed on tJfel,ul/able false alarms.
, .
Chapter #17- Fire Prevention
Language is cleaned up to be compliant with Statutory changes at the State level.
Proposal to delete the Open Fire Permit fee (not the permit itsclf..... only the fee), since
typical users are non-profits and there is no current tool available to waive the charges.
Deletion of language indicating amendments to the Florida Fire prevention Code. The City
no longer needs to adopt amendments to this Code, which will eliminate potential confusion
to our redevelopment efforts.
Fees schedule proposed ,,,ill only assess charges to those commercial occupancies who do
not intend to comply with written Life Safety Code (Authority directly from State Statute).
Initial inspections and follow-up will continue to be provided at no cost to the business
owner. Fee schedule only applies to continual reinspections due to customer complaints
and/ or the lack of the if/lent 10 ronrpp by owner, Please note that St. Petersburg charges for
all inspection activity, regardless of compliance issues.
. Fire Officials have scheduled a meeting with the Chamber of Commerce, (Ms. Katie Cole) on
Monday, October 6, 2003 to discuss the specific details of both ordinance proposals. We currently
have tentative support from the Chamber and expect a letter to be drafted indicating same before
the scheduled work session.

RE:
Street Light Cost Comparisons
The Grovewood Homeowner's Association had requested the city provide decorative street lighting along
Grovewood Road. Specifically, they wanted twelve standard street lights replaced with twelve decorative
Flagler lights mounted on decorative Washington poles. The cost forthe new lights would be $396.18 per
month as opposed to the current cost of $72.12 per month for the standard roadway lights in service at this
tUne. This represents a cost increase of 449% and creates a precedent for other neighborhoods as 'well. In
response to a lener from the city denying this request due to the cost and precedent that would be set the
Grovewood Homeowner's association has proposed a compromise. Their proposal is to install one double
fL'\"tUre and one single fD..'ture in the entrance median to Grovewood and they would be willing to pay the
cost for the first two years. That cost would be $1787.04. On a monthly basis the cost for this request is
592.49 per month versus the current cost of $18.03 per month. 1he following facts are imponant points to
be considered regarding the city street lighting policy.
- The city provides standard roadway lighting on all residential streets at no cost to the residents.
The streets are illuminated to IES (Illuminating Engineers Society) standards.
-The st.wdaro cost for roadway lighting is $5.85 or $7.91 per light per month depending upon
whether it is overhead or underground fed with a pole rental charge ranging from $1.66 to $3.86
per month per pole wood or concrete respectively.
. Decor.ative street lights range in cost from $ 9.19 to $1855 per month. The decomtive poles range
in cost from $6.87 to $20.73 per month.
· The de<:omtive lights and poles come in many combinations and it is therefore very difficult to
make comp.\risons with our existing lighting costs. Ho'wever, comparing the least expensive
decor..\uve light ($9.19) on the least e~-pensive decorative pole ($6.87) there is a 113 .8% increase in
cost ~r light per month compared with the least expensive standard roadway light.
. All of these costs are based on 100- \Van lights, which are the standard in residential areas.
. Allowing one neighborhood to have decorative lights and poles will set a precedent for all
ncigh~)rhoods with the result in higher street lighting costs.
L~rt.\ched ~ a chart that shows the monthly costs of poles and street light fixtures and the monthly coSts
r:l{ the \'.\f~)\1S combin.nions.

Decorative "B" 518.55 520.21 S22.41 525.42 539.28
In order to provide decorative lighting in neighborhoods, there are a number of 'ways to accomplish the
funding. 1) The residents could be assessed for the extra costs by property value or by property frontage.
2) An agreement could be developed with Progress Energy to provide direct billing to the residents for the
extra cost of the decorative lighting. 3) The city could develop an ordinance establishing a utility to provide
for this extra cost. 4) Neighborhood grants could be utilized for the purpose of providing decorative
lighting. The basic issue is how to cover the increased cost of decorative lighting without adding burden to
the residents of the city who are satisfied with the lighting that is currently provided by the city. In addition
to the direct cost burden there is also the increased cost to administer any of the program that may be
adopted.
Bottom Line: The policy issue is should the city provide decorative street lighting for
. neighborhoods that request it at city expense.

SUbject: RE: 10/13/03 Work Session Follow up
After reviewing the City of Clearwater's current watering restriction ordinance, as well as applicable SWFWMD
administrative rules and orders, it is my opinion that the City may continue to impose one-day-per-week watering
restrictions under current Code Section 32.153, Watering Schedule. The City has separate general authority under its
home rule powers to adopt more restrictive watering limitations in order to further water conservation goals. At a later
time the City may wish to amend Section 32.153 in order to omit now dated language relating to past SWFWMD
Orders; however, this is a "housekeeping" matter and does not affect pursuit of the above one-day-per-week
approach.

REminder - need to provide information re impact of SWFWMD orders on ability to establish and enforce more
restrictive water restrictions.
