County; Mr. Miller went into further delUils us to \vhnt EPA's requirements arc, and stated tlmt EPA has
grul)ted un extension of time for completion until September of this year. Adoption of the storm water ordinance
has heen scheduled for September, 1993, by Pinellus County Commission ulong with the Interlocnl Agreement.
A discllssion enslled on the lack of communication' bctween city and county on pollution violations in
unincorporated areas. The Interlocal Agreement would be of great benefit in achieving communic.1tion at a local
level. Mr. Miller informed the commillee that the Local Agreement wilt be reviewed in the ,same time frame'
as 'the model ordinance. It \vas decided that no action would be tuken by the EAC on the Local Agreement
pending staff update of th:: drafL
. I
n. PINELLAS ANCLOTE HOARD
Mr.Millcr met with thc City Commission on June 3. and prescnted a draft of the Mid.Pinellas Agreement that
is being negotiated with municipalities adjacent to the City, County and SWFWMD. ACter discussion the
Commission supported moving Corward with the program concept and to continue to negotiate with not only the
County. but with other municipalities to cost share the project with the City of Clearwater. thereby reducing the
burden of expense to Clearwater. Mr. Miller stated that it was recommended at thc last commission work
session that the City of Clearwater go Corward with the Mid Pinellas Watershed Comprehcnsive planning no
, ~atlcr what other municipalities do. Mr. Miller informed the committee oC the reasons Safety Harbor was
reluctant to participate in the watershed management plan. and presented some of the problems that exLc;ted.
Some of the future joint projects were identified along with issues causing water quality problems. Addi~ional,
cooperative studies will need to be made and implementation strategics developed to achieve goals. Mr. Foley
madc n motion the EAC invite the County to scnd a represcntative to comc and discuss Watcrshed Management,
county's responsibilities, goals,'and the local perspectives. Ms. Lan7.a seconded. Motion passcd. Mr. Foley was
delegated to accomplish this task.
A discussion ensued on the rCluctancc of SWFWMD or County to take thc lead on the Mid Pinellas Watershed
Management concept. and responsibilities associated with this position. Mr. Foley requested Mr. Miller to
inquire if SWFWMD is financially involved in a project, can they still permit that project. The committee was
informed that when SWFWMD approves stafps recommendations for Mid-Pincllas, and when the agreement has
been signed, the funds will become uvailable October I, 1993. Financial comitlment will be required for
participation. Interlocal Agreement needs to be signed by September 3D, or the funds will not be avuilable.

Ill. NEW' BUSINESS
A. ACTION ON STEVENSON CREEK
2
Mr. Miller introduced Mr. Burkc of Camp, Dresser and MeKee who was present at the open meeting when staff
met with local residents. Mr. Burke presented char Is on which the latest alternatives Cor Stevenson Creek were
indicated, and he reviewed some of the alternatives that had been previously recommended by the EAC at the
April meeting. He staled that in the interim the alternativcs had been further scrutinized, and redelined
alternatives were established. Detailcd discussi{ln followed on the redefined alternatives: Alternutlve I - This
< .
'\
d,
"
, ,~'
J
w~uld be implementcd in two Slagcs. Pirst stnge, Phase A, would carry the work up to the end o[ Lynn Lake,
and the second SUlgc would call [or' construction of the Jeffords Street culvcrt which would opcn a bottlcneck
and eliminate SOniC of the flooding in this aren. No major construction would bc done south of Jeffords. In
, response to the public mecting mid residents con~crn, a constant water level will be maintained in Rice Lake,
which will now become purt of this project. This will be included in either alternatives. Alternutive II The
difference between Phase A of alternative I and Alternative II is the cost due to less construction because of
, mitigation of thc golf course. Phase B, Alternative 11, as recommended by EAC, involves extention of Lynn Lake
by purchasc of homesites and culvert constructed to relicve flooding. Fundamentally, Alternative II is a mme
aUrac,tive and natural alternative. A discussion evolved on the lllJlOunt of homes that will need to be purchased
10 pro'ceed with the project and whDt obstructions could occur. Ms. Melkonian inquired whal the time difference
was between Alternative I and Alternative II. Mr. Burke stalcd that Phase A could be initiated almost
immediately, arid phase B would tuke approximately 12 to 18 months for property acquisition, and perhaps a year
to complete the work. A Motion was made that the EAC endorses AJtcrnutivc II to extend Lynn Lake on a
willing selling basis and subsequently add minimal eulverting to reduce flooding at Hillcrest., Motion passed
unanimously. The EAC also encourages the inclusion of Rice Lake restoration in the Stevenson Creek watershed
effort. Motion passed unanimously., "
" These recommendations,are to be presented Tuesday, June 15, al Works~op.

n. STORMWATER UTILllY BUDGET
Mr. Foley stated that in 1990 Clearwater adopted a Stormwater Utility Fcc, which funds were to be used to solve
two basic problems, water quality and quantity within their boundaries. Monies were to be spend on
expenditures,related to stormwater. Some budget information was received, but not to Mr. Foley's satisfaction,
and therefore he requested to view the Stormwater Utility Budget, with a more defined description on the ouUay.
Mr. Miller distributed a chart on the Stormwater Utility Fund and expanded on the expenditures indicated on
the chart. A discussed evolved as these expenditures were explained. Mr. Miller then discussed some of the
various projects thut he had previously recommended [or redevelopment of the downtown area, indicating that
storm water issues need to be incorporated in the redevelopment. These recommendations were submitted
previously and endorsed by the EAC.' Ms. Lanza stated that SWFWMD should take the lead in the Mid
Pinellas Stormwatcr Plan since it is an intra-city issue and goes thrll county land, and let Clearwater use its funds
on projects within Clearwater, It wus recommended that Mr. Miller planning allocations be revisited in the
future for committee recommendations.
Ms. Melkonian requested submiual of the draft on Inler-Iocal agreement. Update on status of Cily owned gas
storage tanks was requested for next meeling.
The next meeting is scheduled for TImrsdnYt July 8, 1993 at 4:()O P.M.
Motion was made to adjourn at 6:25 and seconded by Jill Melkonian,
Respectfully submitted by Viola Wasilewski, Sluff Assistant II. '

S~BJECT: EAC actions at 9 September 1~92 m~eting.'
1. CLEARWATER HARBOR ISSUES~ (In response to City Commission
assessme~t request relative to Dunedin Pass.)
, '
-RECOMMENDATION: .The EAC does n6t recogniz~ a compelling
environmental rationale' for pursuing the re-opening
of Dunedin Pass. Emphasis should be placed on the
reduction of polluta~t discharge, int~ the harbor.
"
-CONCERNS:
. The EAC is concerned that water quality problems ih
the vicinity of the Marine Science tenter may incre~se in
conJunciion with currently planned expansion of the city
Marina. Assessment o~ the 'potential tidal flushing
impro~ement which may be achievable with additional culverts
under the Memorial Causeway may be appropri~te.
