CITY OF CLEARWATER
,r-) MARINE ADVISORY BOARD
MINUTES OF THE FEBRUARY 13, 1996 MEETING
Members present were: Chairman Bill stephan, Dave Hemerick,
Dave Martens, Don McFarland, Ernie Cline, Ed Dohrman,
Bill Wilhelm, Marine Supervisor Mike Willis, Capt. Richard
Howard, Art Murr, and Louis Hilton, Senior Planner, Central
Permitting, City of Clearwater.
The minutes of the January meeting of the MAB were not in the
hands of the members. Consequently, the minutes of the January
meeting will be read at the March meeting along with these
minutes that follow.
The first item of business was to welcome the new MAB member
Mr. William Wilhelm. The entire Board is enthusiastically
looking forward to working with Mr. Wilhelm during the next
few years.
The second item of business concerned the Governor's
Environmental Education Award. Mr. Willis stated that
Harbormaster Bill Held requested the State to consider the
Clearwater Municipal Marina Marina for recipient of the award.
I:)
The next item concerned the Sailing Center Dock. Ms. Terry Finch
is requ~sting a permit from the state to allow the dock to
permanently remain at the Sailing Center. It now has only a
temporary permit, and if not changed, the dock must be removed.
This item was extensively discussed at the January 199~ meeting.
Please refer to those minutes.
The next item concerned the replacement of the swim buoys along
Clearwater Beach with permanent pilings. At the January 1996
meeting of the MAB it was decided that pilings would be superior
to buoys. Harbormaster Bill Held has already requested approval
for the change from the Office of Waterway Management of the
Department of Environmental Protection. The ball has started
to roll.
The next item concerned extending wake zones in Clearwater Bay.
At the January meeting, the MAB thought it a good idea to
establish a "slow speed - minimum wake" zone between daybeacons
#9 and #11 along Memorial Causeway. Mr.Held requested that the
Office of Waterway Management consider the change.
o
At 0811 The MAB became the Citizens Task Force regarding the
Coastal Management Plan. The final COASTAL ZONE ELEMENT prepared
by Mr. Louis Hilton was reviewed. No further changes were sought
by the MAB. The MAB did request, however, that a letter be
written to accompany the final draft of the COASTAL ZONE ELEMENT.
The letter is to address Objective 2.4 and express that, in
the opinion of the MAB, the use of public funds to renourish

private beaches is improper and should be avoided.
At 0830 the Task Force permanently disolved. Mr. Hilton was
thanked for his good work. The MAB resumed it's agenda.
The next item was the pier park site plan. The plan was shown
to the MAB by Mr. willis. There were no objections or critical
comments. The work is being done by Caladesi Construction. steve
Chandler is the concessionaire.
The last item of business concerned ferry service in and around
Clearwater Bay. The MAB strongly recommends that any ferry
service be strictly and solely funded by the private sector.
Under no circumstances should any public funds whatsoever be
used to subsidize any entrepreneurial venture into maritime
transportation within the City of Clearwater. Reference was
made to Objective 1.4 of the COASTAL ZONE ELEMENT. Whereas an
entrepreneurial venture can still be considered private even
though it is subsidized by public funds, the MAB requests that
no subsidization of maritime transportation be permitted in
the city of Clearwater. This matter will be further discussed
in March.
The MAB Chairman's Annual Report to the City Commission is due
March 12, 1996.
