ITEM (17 - A Pub Iii: nearing on Lot Mowing Resolution
"76-88.
The City Attorney explained the purpose of this public
hearing and requested the City Inspector, Willard Stewart,
to report on the status of lot clearing actions. The City
Inspector reported that the lots remaining to be cleared
constituted a menace to public health, safety and welfare.
There were no objections. Commissioner Martin moved that
Resolution '76-88 passed on August 5, 1976, be confirmed. and
made effective as" to all persons and parcels listed thereon,
except for those whose lots have been verified as being
cleared and those ~ho have paid the City for the clearing,
and that the proper City officials and employees be directed
to proceed in accordance with law to see that the lots are
cleared. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Frank and car-
ried unanimously.

ITEM 08 - A Public Hearing on Ordinance 01626 - Adopting
a Budget and Fixing the Rate of Taxation for the Fiscal Year,
October I. 1976. through September 30. 1977. (See Item 133)
The City Manager commented that this ordinance is the
result of an Attorney Generalis opinion of several years ago
subsequent to the llome Rule Act which requires that budgets
of municipalities in the State of Florida must be adopted by
ordinan~e as opposed to the practice authorized in our City
Charter to adopt by resolution.
Sean OISullivan of the Clearwater Jaycees requested the
allocation for fireworks display be continued at $4,000 and
suggested a safety shield be built by City employees.
John Rankin recommended a 7.5% pay increase for City
employees instead of the 6~ allocated in the budget.
Charles Finton stated most retireesl total incomes drop-
ped rather than increased and he requeoted clarification of
revenue and expenditure figures of the Parking Fund. He al-
so suggested more conservation of electrical energy to re-
duce the Florida Power bill. lie questioned the ethics of
inclUding the franchise taxes from Florida Power in the Gen-
eral Fund, and stated these funds are actually collected Irom
the citizena by Florida Power in addition to the regular bill
and should be included under Ad Valorem taxes.
By unanimous consent, the Commission ,recessed the public
hearing to return to Item 06.

ITEM n13 - Approval of Preliminary Plat for Revised
Clubhouse Estates, Unit 4, Located Approximately 5,000 Fe.t I
North of State Road 580 on the East Side of Countryside
Boulevard. (In West 1/2 of Section 20-28-16) - U.S. Home of
Fl~rida, Inc. (Continued from August 5, 1976).
The City Manager asked that the records show that this
was Planning Director Paul Bergmann's last meeting and he
expressed his appreciation and that of the Commission's for
the professionalism displayed by Mr. Bergmann. They offered
their congratulations.
Ro~ald Riley, representative of u.s. Home of Florida,
Inc., stated that in March of 1976, a preliminary plat had
been approved for Clubhouse Estates, Units 2 and 3; and
Grandv!cw Es~ates (Unit 4), which was for larger lots. They
are now resubmitting the preliminary plat of Grandview Es-
tates, to be known as Clubhouse Estates, Unit 4, with smaller
lots. Due to the state of the economy they have found the
smaller lots are 'more in demand. The original RS-50 zoning
will still apply.
In an effort to reduce traffic on Countryside Boulevard,
Commissioner Frank suggested an access road to the golf
course and the clubhouse at the rear of the homes built
along the golf course.
The Planning and Zoning Board and the Planning Director
recommend approval of the preliminary plat and the Planning
Director s~ated that overall, the plat changes for the tracts
have been decreasing density and there is little difference
in the size' of t~e lots in RS-50 and/or RS-60.
Commissioner Carwise left at 4:45 p.m.
Commissioner Frank moved to approve the revised prelim-
tnary plat for Clubhouse Estates, Unit 4, as submitted.

did not pass.

sion agenda for August 30, 1976.
