(2) Fire 'gaining Facility 200,000
(3) McMullen Tennis Complex 14000
Total Cost $645,000
As a primary city, Clearwater has been allocated $645,000
under Local Public Works Program, Round 11.
Under Round I, Clearwater submitted 13 projects totaling
$7,313,680 for consideration but no funds were allocated. .
These projects are still on file with EDA and we are now asked
to prioritize them and update the project applications for
FDA's consideration under Round II. The priority listing and
updated applications must reach the Regional Office in Atlanta
by Midnight, July 11, 1977.
Each project selected must be totally funded, either with "
this grant or supplemented by other (including state or local)
funds. Only those projects that can,be completely funded'.

Project ranking should be in accordance with local priori-
ites, but EDA recommends special consideration of-potential
long-term economic banefits, labor intensity, resultant energy
conservation and/or utilisation of alternative energy sources,
and time necessary to complete the project,
Warren Renando, Planning Director, stated selection is
limited to the 13 projects previously submitted and if the
City stays within the $645,000 allocated it is possible to
change the amount requested in a proposal and figures have
been adjusted as shown in the recommendation. The Fire Sta-
tion and Fire Training Facility will effect reduced insurance
rates directly benefiting property owners and the City. The
McMullen Tennis Complex will not increase operating expenses.
Commission consensus was in agreement with Fire Station
and Fire Training Facility projects.
Commissioner DeBlaker preferred a possible joint agree-
ment with School Administration and contribution of approxi-
mately $150,000 of Public Works money toward construction of
Countryside High School and cited advantages of City-usage of
the proposed 1,200 seat auditorium, storage/prop room and
rehearsal, rooms.
City Attorney Bustin was replaced b Chief Assistant Cit
Attorney_ Kowalski from 11!45 a.m. until Noon.
A lengthy, discussion ensued regarding the McMullen Tennis
Complex project versus the McMullen Community Center.'
The City Manager commented that the center would necessi-
tate considerable cost of operation. He said the present
tennis courts are used to capacity, no staff increase would
be required for the additional courts, and revenue will offset
any extra costs.
The City Manager reported he sent telegrams on June 24,
1977, to Commissioner Julius Shiskin.of the Bureau of Labor
Statistics and Secretary of Commerce Juanita Kreps (EDA),
formally protesting the unemployment rate utilized. He has
a meeting in Washington July 8, 1977, and hopes funds which
cannot be utilized may be channeled for requests.
Eddie Moore, Director of Parks and Recreation, affirmed
the extensive use of all City tennis courts. He said the
Parks and Recreation Board endorsed completion of the McMullen
Tennis Complex.
Commissioner Nunamaker questioned the need for additional
parking. Mr. Moore indicated there are 33 existing spaces
and 12 could be added with some money in the budget which
could be used for that,purpose.
Commissioner Frank moved to establish, by priority rank-
ing, the following Public Works Projects preferred for approval
and funding by the Economic Development Administration:
(1) Fire Station #6 $300,000,
(2) Fire Training Facility 200,000, and
(3)' McMullen Tennis Complex 145,000,
Total Cost $645,000.
