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.

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.
