CITY COHHISSION IIEi:TIHG Octobe~ 30, 1973 The City Commission of tho City of Cloa~watc~ mot in special session at tho County Court House and tho City 1Iall, 1'uestlay, October 30, 1973, beginning at 9:30 a.m., with the following mombers present: H. Everett llouuen Uonald S. Williams Riohard' D. Hachtlor Joseph CaI'wise Rick Hall Hayor-Commiasioner Commissioner ' Commissioner Commissioner Commissioner ,,' Also present were: Picot B~ Floyd Guy Kennody :1ax Battle Frank Daniels City Hananer Assistant City Attorney City Engineer Police Chief Followinn intrOduction by County cowniDaiono~-Chairman DockertYt tho Havor announced the purpose of this special joint meeting: to consider a joint resolution declaring County.and City intent to enter into an agreement for the purchase of approx~mately 65 acres of Sand , Key property for public beach and recreational purposes. The Mayor called the meeting to order. The invoca~ion was given by the Revere~d Foste~ Piatt, District Su~erintendent of the Wesleyan Church of Flor~da. All present pledged allogJ.ance to the Flag. The aayor introduced members of the Commission and City staff and expressed his appreciation to the County Co~~issioners for providing a joint rneeting for considet'ation of this 'Ii tal proj ec t. The i1ayor'reviewed the background of negotiations with U.S. Steel, stating that a contract had boen negotiated for purchase of Sand Key property over,a five-year period. Purchase of 'the first parcel was completed in DQcember~ 1972. Under the agreement successive payments are required by December 30th eac h year for the next four years. The lIayor indica..ted tha t City funding limitations now made it impossible for the City to meet the second installment on the contract. Failure of the Ci'ty to Ineei: the. payment due would result in loss of this valuable property for the public uses intended. County Administrator t'lerrett Stierhe.im displayed a map of 'the Sand Key area and descri~ed potential contract arrangements to assist in the purchase of the Sand Key property. In consideration of City con- veyance to the County of the first parcel purchased (Parcel lA), 'the County would assume the remaining rosponsibility under the terms of the con'tract with U. S. Steel. The City would retain Parcel 18 and there- after acquire by grant from the Coun~y P&rcels 23, aB, 48 and 58 as these parcels are purchased. The County and tho city would agree to develop the Sand Key area for public use and recreation purposes. Mr. Stierheim observed that tho County was in a position to finance the Sand Key con- tract on the basis of a special 1 mill tax authoriz~d by countywide referendum. In addi'tion, the County would attempt to obtain both State and Federal funding support. With matching funds (State and/or Federal), contract expenses to the County of approximately 5.ij million dollars could be cut in half. The City Engineer reported tha't the Engineering Department was now prepared to release invitations for bids on Clearwater Pass dredging. '1'his oparation is estimated to add approximately twenty acres of beach in extending the Gulf frontano. , Following dction by 'the County Co~nisBioners 'to set the date for a public hearing on the proposed purchase arrangements, Commissioner Williams moved that Resolution #73-147 be passed and adopted affirming the agreement contempla.tod and setting the joint Commission meeting date of November 20th at 10: 30 a. m. for the required public hearing, and moved that tho appropriate officials be authorized to execute this resolution. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Hall and cdI'r'ied unanimOUSly. . A1: the suggestion of the Hayor, and by consent, the City ComJRission mee.ting was recessed at 10: 00 a .m. for the purpose of reconvening in the City Commission moeting room at City Hall for' special emergency session., ,. :;;i:((i';,'.":';'V,;, ". ...
