that we provide the funds.
The proposed total budget is about $25,000.00. This amount may
be under th~ receipts from taxes nt the one mill levy. He added
that the Board should consider the millage levy for the year at
the time when we know from tho Tax AssQssor the exact assessment
dollars against which we will levy.
Mr. Hougen asked about the budget amount assigned to his commit-
tee, stating that he feals that the amount asked for is minimal
and should be allowed. Mr. Cornelius explaineu that the full
amount asked for is provided since the portions including the
agency feas and contingency Qro covered in the overall budget.
Mr. Hougen spoke for the proposed two-color folder and was
assured that between his budg~t and the contingency fund, funds
are available should this become necessary later in'the year.
Farther, that the budget provides for four issues of Downtown
Topics.
A motion ~as made to ndopt the proposed budget, was seconded
and was passed.
~r. Cornelius asked for authority to approach the banks 50 that
borrowing of funds will be possible when needed. He suggested
that borrowing might be done for funds to sustain the Board
quarterly, which will save intarest. Mr. Wolfe stated that
borrowing may be done on the signatures of the Board Chairman
and the Board Vice-Chairman. A motion was made to authorize the
Chairman and Vice Chairman to m~te such borrowing arrangements.
The motion was seconded and was passed~
r.he Chairman discussed the Social Security payments situation
by the Executive Director and pointed out that since the Board
does have the option to either continue to pay into the system
or not, that the position of the Executive Director will not
be improved with further contributions into the system, a resolu-
tion is needed to authorize the Executive Director to change all
funds paid into the Social Security system to become income tax
withholdings and that the date of those changes be August 1,
1971. A resolution was made, seconded and so passed.
The Chairman stated that a new state law will go into effect on
January 1, 1972, which requires that a monthly sum be paid into
the state of Florida Department of Commerce, Bureau of Unemploy-
ment Compensation, amounting to one per cent of tho gross payroll
up to $4,200.00 per employee. This will cost the Board $42.00
in 1972 and is provided in the new bUdget.

Mr. Homer reported on the activities of the Land Use and
Development Committee, dtat1ng that ,we have received a lot
vi puolicity, which may have led people to be too optimistic
as to new buildings, etc. However, we are still at work
with interested developers who want to come into Clcnr~ater.
We have had a presentation from Melby & Tebrruge, ~rchitects,
and will also get a presentation from Clearwater Architects
Collaborative, Inc. this Thursday at 3:00 P.M. at the Board
Room of Clearwater Federal. All of the members ar~ urged ~o
attend this meeting.
Mr. Homer stated that he has become impresoed with one fact,
that we have been talking to ourselves too much without
getting the word to hundreds of Clearwater citizens who also
need to know what the facts are. A new thrust is indicated,
that we expand the circulation of Topics to between 2,000 and
3,000 rather than some 400 copies.
Better communications must be estahlished city-wide this year.
Mr. stierheim commented that
