Mr. Thompson raised concerns regarding the requests by the Downtown Clearwater Association (DCA). Mr. Flowers indicated that the DCA was asked to request funds for the coming year. The DCA established programs for the coming year and mayor may not be able to use all the funds allocated. He stated that all monies gathered in other ways by the DCA goes to these projects. Mr. Finegan indicated that the DCA had submitted a request for funds of $15,195.00 at last month's preliminary meeting on the budget. Action was taken to allocate $10,000.00 for the DCA. He stated the $10,000.00 will be appropriated as needed and that there is need for a contingency fund for other projects. Alan Carlson of Alanis Business Products spoke in opposition to the .9 mills millage rate. He stated he felt that using funds for advertising at this time is too early as the downtown has deteriorated. He stated the businesses downtown are suffering from the cost of doing business and taxes are a part of that cost. He also expressed concerns regarding derelicts in the downtown area affecting the image of downtown. Discussion ensued regarding the need to improve the downtown's image as well as the fact that the downtown cannot depend on local retailing to rejuvenate it. It was stated that the deterioration of property values in downtown needs to be stopped. Mr. Homer moved to approve the budget as presented. Motion was duly seconded. };.{' ~"f~:~{ ~r~~f r., i,~ i- ~": ~: c ~.., I I J , I i '''I . , :, 'l . ;,' ; . ,A <~ J e' i 1 .- ,1 ;"'1 4 I .., ~~ ~ c; < . j 1 '..:~ . Ms. Deptula reported that establishing the .9 mills rate would require the budget to be advertised as a 256.7% increase from last year's roll back rate. Discussion ensued regarding the need for the tax increase and it was stated that up until last year the Downtown Development Board had been levying a full mill. Further discussion ensued regarding the spirit of cooperation that has been generated between the Downtown Development Board and the City and t~at the Downtown Development Board needs to establish this millage rate in order to be a part of the renewed effort to revitalize downtown. Upon the vote being taken, the motion carried unanimously. Item IV - Board Comments Mr. Flowers indicated the Downtown Development Board and the City need to keep citizens informed of the projects un~erway and to make sure the property owners are made aware of what is g01ng on. He stated it seems that the downtown is heading toward office development and there will be a need for retail also. He also stated that the Board and the City need to remember that there are other places in downtown other than the four blocks on Cleveland Street. i ,t .
