The Chairman opened the meeting with a welcome to members

present, and took occasion to present to them a certificate

by each. Such certificates were given to the following:
Gene Ridenour

Certificates are also to be delivered to the following members

.
The Chairman asked for a motion to approve the minutes of the
meeting of July 20, 1971. Mr. Wolfe asked that the minutes be
changed by deleting the statements \'/hich referred to "in lieu of
tax assessment-I fOUBd on the bottom of page One and on page Two,
a portion of the last line in paragraph Four. The Exec. Director
was instructed to make these changes follo\'/inq which the minutes
were approved as read.
Tbe Chairman asked for a report from Hz. Wolfe as to our position
following the recent court action against Mr. Haines. Mr. Wolfe
responded by stating that the judge denied our motion for mandamus
action against the County ~ax Collector on the grounds of serious
inconvenience and also because ~e've~e not a legally established
organization on the date of Jan. 1, 1971.
Mr. Wolfe reviewed Che steps taken by himself following the hear-
ing and stated that be has consulted with the judge and the county
attorney with the result that another hearing is set for September
7th at 1:30 P.M. Hopefully, he stated, the judge could rule in
favor of placing the 1971 millage of 7/12 mill on the roll as of

Jan 1, 1972. This would have the effect, he explainod, of
guaranteeing this millage in the year 1972. Further, that the
succeeding Board could levy an additional millage in the year
1972. depending upon the needs of the Board for the year.
Discussion followed which revealed that at no time may millage in
excess of one mill be levied by the Board under the Act as of any
one year. Further, it was brought out that the judge stated in
his statement following the hearing that ~e are a legally estab-
lished arm of the State and do have the po~er to levy up to one
mill tax on freeholders within the boundaries of the Act, and that
the earliest date that we may levy the tax is for the year 1972.
A motion was made to accept the recommendation of counsel and
proceed with the second hearing. Tho motion was seconded and
passed.
The Chairman asked Mr. Cornelius1 Chairman of the Finance Committee
to give us a financial report. ~ copy of his statement is attached.
Mr. Cornelius stated that the support as shown by receipts in
August represents a mandate from the old members of the Association
to go ahead. He expressed that the enthusiastic support of these
people, largely non-freeholders, is most encouraging.
Mr. Homer reported on the meetings of the Land Use Development
Committee and stated that outcome of these two meetings resulted
in a recommendation to the Board which he will make today.
He reviewed the discussion which took place in meeting and stated
that the committee asks for support for three recommendations:
1)
2)
Complete the downtown loop around the core area so
as to improve access to and from the CBD.
Implement cooperative development of the bayfront
area for construction of highrise apartments, a
yacht basin and marina, shops and entertainment
facilities.
Stimulate. encourage and implement residential high-
rise structures with parks and open space created
to provide a do~ntown residential population which
will by .itself generate the needed stores and shops
to serve the people living in the CBD.
Mr. Bomer stressed the need for more people living in the area. He
offered the example in Tampa where expensive riverfront improvements
still did not help to build a greater do~ntown shopping area,
because people do not live in downtown ~a~pa.

.
Mr. Homer stated the problem being one 0% packaging the many
parcels of land in the area, putting them all together and then,
with the help of the architects, present concepts and la~'4d areas
to prospective developers for their purcbase and use, conforming
to the downtown comprehensive plan. Therefore he proposes to get
the help of realtors to get the options on land parcels and put
them together.
The Kayor, speaking for the City, stated that the proposed plan fits
into the objectives of the City ~dministxation. Mr. Stierheim,
City Manager, reviewed negotiations to date rogarding the loop

extension with the hope for an early completion date for the
project.
A motion was made, seconded and passed unanimously to adopt the
plan offered by Mr. Homer.
The Chairman asked Mayor Hougen to give a report of the Publicity
and Public Relations Committee. Mr. Hougen stated that a meeting
was held on August 19th, at ~hich time consideration was given to
printing of letterheads, envelopes, etc., regarding further public-
ity pertaining to Judge Driver's decision that no further publicity
be given at this time, that IITopics" should be continued, with at
least six issues per year with on~ issue in september 1971, and
one about mid-December.-
.
Mr. Hogen stated that the committee felt that uTopics" should con-
tain a list of subscriberb on a voluntary basis and that a list
of such names should be given to the press.
Mr. Hougen asked for a Board e~pression as to the amount of money
his committee may have for these purposes. Mr. Cornelius stated
that he feels that the Board should authorize the two issues for
this year.
The Mayor added that Mr. Reed stated that he will continue to work
with ua at a much reduced fee until such time as we are funded ~y
tax monies.
A thought was expressed that we might use a mailing of uTopics" to
serve in lieu of the present separate mailing to announce the
meeting of this Board to freeholders. This would be an economy
if the timing worked out well.
Mr. Cornelius suggested that based on two issues, that we are now
funded sufficiently to pay for them. However, the Mayor requested
that the finance committee report at the next meeting of the Board
a budget for continuing publishing of "Topics.1I
As to listing names of contributers, it was decided not to list
names of non-contributors.
.
The Chairman read a letter from Mr. J. L. Larkin, General Services
Dept. ~the State who expressed willingness to discuss the needs
of the State for office buildings in North Pinellas County. This
is another project ~hich we will follow up.
Mrs. Phifer raised a question as to when will we, as a Board, know
about changes in status of the freeholders. It was pointed out
that there is a system which ties the Office of Voter Registration
into the Tax Assessors Office so that these matters are made cur-
rent annually. ~ will appreciate any direct information from the
freeholdera as to their status currently.
The Chairman showed concept sketches of the area made by a man in
his office, which is typical of .any land usage concepts, but
further is important in order to generate more and batter ideas.
The Chairman announced the date for the next meeting as being
September 28th.
