Trustee Berfield advised that the downtown partnership had also requested a
brief explanatory statement for each of the CRA roles/responsibilities.
The Trustees agreed that "Develop Downtown Plan", "Incentives", & "Right to
Develop Property" were specific enough. "Recruitment, Retention, Expansion
& Relocation" - CRA would head up this responsibility but would need
assistance from the appropriate partners/agencies (a possible
sUbcommittee). "Demographics" - CRA would compile appropriate demographics
using the assistance of the other partners/agencies as needed.
This will be brought back to the downtown partnership for review.

5. New Business
Legal Services Agreement - After reviewing the agreement, a motion
was made, seconded and unanimously carried to approve the agreement with
Tew, Zinober, Barnes, Zimmet & Unice. However, because Mr. Barnes is a
real estate attorney and not considered a strong litigator, the Trustees
directed the City Attorney, Pam Akin, to select a litigator to represent
the CRA in Atrium at Clearwater, Ltd. vs. The City of Clearwater and the
Community Redevelopment Agency.
6. Executive Director Verbal Reports
None
7. other Trustee Business
The Trustees directed Peter Gozza pursue in an equally aggressive
manner all development options, including residential and other commercial,
(not just an entertainment complex) for the east end property.
Chairperson Garvey asked about financial programs assisting
Clearwater businesses. This item will be addressed by the City Commission
and also be referred to Alan Ferri, Economic Development Director.
