to convey a 1.82 acre portion of the old Winn Dixie property by donation to
the Housing Authority, with simultaneous acceptance of a $302,500 grant from
the City and purchase from the City of the site for $302,500. A vote was
taken and motion passed unanimously.
Regarding the impact of Metro Development, Mr. Calderbank made a motion,
which was seconded by Mr. Carley, that a letter be sent to the City in a
positive vein, reminding the City to look at the overall market for office
space in the City and to ask the City if it would be contrary to the City's
plans for the downtown area to approve rezoning at the Metro location, and
to state the philosophy of office space downtown, with light manufacturing
on the periphery. Discussion followed. A vote was taken as follows: Mr.
Bilgore, yes; Mr. Carley, no; Mr. Calderbank, yes; Mr. Zabel, yes; Mrs.
Phifer, yes; Mr. Bomstein, no; Mr. Stiff, yes. The motion passed by a
majority of 5-2 in favor.
Report on parking. Mr. Stiff and Mr. Casella reported on their meeting with
Mr. Shoemaker regarding the use of funds from the CPTA sale. Mr. stiff said
the City Manager indicated that it was his intent to recommend the parking
garage on the 500 block, north of Cleveland Street. The issue will go to the
City Commission in July with a recommendation for financing. Mr. Casella
said he was working on coordinating the Radnor decision with the parking
decision and would report in June.
Mr. Casella presented a proposal to enlist City and local financial institution's
help to set up a rehabilitation loan program, the first meeting to take place
Thursday, June 1, 1982 at the Harborview Club.
Next, Mr. Casella read two proposals that he had drafted regarding Pinellas
Private Industry Council for the Board's approval. The first was a grant
of $10,000 to retain the National Development Council (NDC) to come into
Clearwater to determine what would be the best type of rehabilitation loan
program to use local resources and meet local needs. The second was to
produce a ten-minute color film with sound to explain the advantage and potential
of downtown Clearwater for corporate headquarter locations. Production cost
of this film would be $25,000, plus $5,000 advertising budget for a t~tal of
$30,000. Mr. Bilgore made a motion, which was seconded by Mr. Carley, to
approve the application for a grant for the film production with video-tape
included. Discussion followed. A vote was taken and the motion passed by a
majority. Mrs. Phifer opposed. No action was taken on the grant application
to retain NDC.

Mr. Stiff brought up the subject of the Clearwater Improvement Corporation and
its lack of meetings. Mr. Bilgore suggested dropping the whole idea of this
organization as it proved to be a fruitless endeavor. The Board was in agreement.
Mr. Bomstein made a motion, which was seconded by Mr. Carley, for approval of
revocable proxy to vote for adoption of Fortune Federal Plan of Conversion and
Stock Option Plan. A vote was taken and motion passed unanimously.
Mr. Bomstein made a motion, which was seconded by Mrs. Phifer, for approval of
minutes of April 27, 1982. A vote was taken and motion passed unanimously.
