Min~tes of the meeting of M~rch 26 ~ere approved. The Cha:l.rman ssked for reports from committes chair.men. Mr. Hammock responded with a repo~t on the financial condition as of April 23, and projected to April 30. The report was considered and approved. Mr. Hammock ne~t stated that he has a lease from Mr.. Taylor, covering the office ~pace for. one year starting May 1. He asked for Board approval. of t'.he lease. Aft:~r some discus3ion, a motion to approve the lease was seconded and passed. Mr.. Floyd, City Man~ger, at this point suggested that we might best" a year hence, consider moving it'.t'=l the new city facd.li t.y, the old Ward building which will be ready for' occupancy about that time. The Board ccnside~ed the proposal and passed a r.esolu- tion to reconsider the off.er before extending the current leaoe beyond April 1975. Mr. Car.ter, ChaiX'man of the par.ki.ng Committee, next reported on t.he proposal which wa~ the outcome of a recent committee meeting.

He asked K~. JOg Wolfe to repo:t on a subject which too was conaidered at the recent committee meeting. Mr. wolfe responded with a cO!1cept of a con,nominillm type facility, ) pa~kiu9 garage, owned and opexatp.d by the Cleu~l~ter Downtown DevAlo~ro~nt~oard. A copy of thi3 proposal is attached. After con- sideration of many aspects of the plan, Mr. Carter was askau to proceed with a more detailed proposa:i. for-the plan, ~d was nSlc:ed t:oo to consult with 'the c~.t:! acJm;.nistra't.ion along these lines. e .

Mr. F10yd stated that we do not at thi.s time have a b'_l.i.lding moratorium, but rather we have a plan for planned gro\'ith, or rationing of th2 Ci"cy. s ability to handle sewer connect.ions. He introduced Mr.. pa:rcby, his aesistant, who prosent.ed a detailed analysis of the city sewer facilities togethe:r with a program for issuing build- ing permits, a~ea by area. Since the area which we are con- cerned with is that handled ,by the Marshall Street plant, there were many questions asked which cl~aT.ed the air as to possibilities for expanding residential dO~d.ntown permits. Since the plJ.rpose of the rep~rt by Mr. Floyd and Mr. Paroby was to bring us up to date regarding the possibl.e slow-downs in the issuance of building permits in our area, the Chairman thanked both gentlem~n for til~ir detailed reports and added that he is satisfied that we may be assured t:hat as mora applications are made for residential and commercial building in the downtown area, that we ~jil1 receive proper. considera- tion by the committee set up to ration out the sewage handling ability of the city. It was also added that the rationing pl~n presented takes into consi.dcration t..~e ability of the City to serve the wa'cer . requi.rements needs, along \'1ith sc.wage handling. T1 h. k h i J4~. le C a1r.man as ad for comments from t e Execut ve D~V1S10n which relate to two bills pending in the Legiolature at this date. Palmer responded hy reading a pr.epa~ed resolution1 which after discussion, is to be presented to the Board for action. Palmer e:cplained that his ints:cest goes be~"cnd t.'he Clearwater Downtown De'\'eloprnent Board" although surely includes it, because of the ef:fec.t of the bills on now existing opc]:ating'1 <ll:!.thor.ities such as tlle Cent:r:a:!. Pinellas Transit A1xl:"hori'l:y and m~ny ethers. He added that in his opinion p"ssage of HB3265 , and sa 614 would create stoppage of going institutions created \ hy the state Legislatu:t'e over recent years, and would cat..lse f cessation of projec+;s whi.ch are in the beat interests of the puhlic. He urged tha Boa:-:d to app:rove the resoluti.on Clud permit it to ba sent to ~~e city administration and all 1~9is- l~tive delegates at once. After con13idarable discussion, a motion was made, seconded and was passed. Mayor. Hougen abstained from the vote until he and tha City Attorney have time to preoent the fa~ts of the villa to the Commission. I The next scheduled date for maeting is May 28, 1974. . M. E.
