A quorum was not present. Deputy City Manager Kathy Rice opened the meeting at
6:40 p.m. at the Martin Luther King Center, 1201 Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue,
Clearwater. To provide continuity, the items listed were not necessarily discussed in that
order.
Donald Rutledge of Career Options said there are many programs available to local
youth, including the Youthbuilders program for school dropouts. The Summer Jobs
Program begins in June and continues for 6 weeks. Ms. Rice encouraged residents to
participate in the promotion of all available programs for Greenwood children. The City has
received positive comments about past program participants. Mr. Rutledge encouraged
residents to attend a March 4, 1 998, 9:00 a.m. meeting of the Workforce Development
Board's 2-year job training presentation for Pinellas County.
Ms. Rice distributed copies of One City. One Future., a blueprint for Clearwater's
future. The document is based on the premise that all areas of the City are interrelated and
must be addressed comprehensively. The concept seeks to enhance the quality of life
throughout the City. All neighborhoods have a stake in what happens to the City as a
whole. The City must choose and continue to pursue a specific direction in order to
achieve results. Public input will be gathered and partnerships with the business and
private sector formed. Five major focus areas are: 1) Land Development Code; 2) the
beach; 3) downtown; 4) Gulf.to-Bay Boulevard; and 5) Greenwood. In response to a
question, Ms. Rice said the blueprint is a concept, not a plan. She said surveys and public
input will provide valuable information before proceeding with the concept. Funds to begin
the immediate action items listed in the document will come from Penny for Pinellas funds.
North Greenwood initiatives will be discussed at a March 28, 1998, meeting.

A resident asked the City be sensitive to existing housing and Institutional issues to
ensure stability and growth in North Greenwood. Ms: Rice will request the Slomens group
meet with local churches. In response to a question, Ms. Rice said no plans will be
implemented to interfere with the efforts of the CNHS (Clearwater Neighborhood Housing
,Services) .
A resident suggested the City consider multHamily residences to house younger
neighborhood families who seem to be moving out of the area due to insufficient housing.
A resident remarked that businesses build child care facilities within their own
structures to accommodate employees. It was suggested the City consider how other
. cities encourage growth. Ms. Rice said many issues are being considered and a great deal
of information compiled.
In response to a question regarding future expansion on the Stevenson's Creek
Water Pollution Control property, Ms. Rice said there is a plan for the sewer plants. There
is room at the Northeast plant for the laboratory. She will request that Public Works
Administrator Rich Baier provide residents with information regarding future plans for the
area.
The meeting adjourned at 7:45 p.m.
