Scope of Service will be presented to the Commission, as well as the North Greenwood
Stormwater Retrofit projectl Scope of Service and the Agreement with the District. The

presented the following month.
Mr. Shoberg's presentation demonstrated the latest information regarding the Stevenson Creek.
He advised that the agreement that will be brought to the Commission' will hot have a contract
with the District due to time constraints. He is confident that the District will come through with
their end of the contract as the money is already budgeted and has already cleared the PA
Basin Board. The plan Is to give the Notice to Proceed contingent upon the Commission
approving the Scope of Work.
Mr. Shoiberg informed the members that core samples will be taken at.8 locations from the top
to the bottom of the muck and then analyze it using radiovisotroplc dating to determine a time
Une as to what depth and rate the sediment was deposited in the estuary. USGS is the only one
in the State of Florida that is licensed to do this and they are willing to work in a cooperative
effort with the City.

Mr. Becotte addressed a question by Member Stowell regarding the rules regarding the di~tance
between a residence and a sewer line when a septic tank is in place and can the City require
them to hook up to the sewer. Mr. BecoUe replied that only if the property is in the City and
within 200 feet of the sewer line can they be required to connect to the sewer, but not the
residents located in the unincorporated part of the County.

2,' Business Plans - G. Brumback - Mr. Brumback brought to the meeting his philosophy on
the Strategies for Success which is a fundamental change in the way that Clearwater goes
about the budgeting process. He explained each Department has been asked to go out and
determine what the best services, programs and capital improvement projects for the City to
do, and to include citizen input, union input, managerial input and Commission input. From
. this, the programs will be prioritized and money will be put into those projects that contribute
the most to City-wide goals and priorities.
Member Stowell moved to extend the meeting for ten minutes, The motion was duly seconded by
Member Rhame.

Chair Drake questioned Strategic Objectives/MeasureslTargets, page 5, of the Engineering Business
Plans under Performance Indicators; "Assure that landscape. streetscape & architectural features of
capital projects arc uniform and serve to identify Clearwater". She wants to know what is the cap and
how much money will be spent on this.
Member Stowell mentioned the fact that the EAB meetings should be televised due to the fact that it is
important for the public to know what is going on. There IS a frequently played program called "Earth
Cafe- which Is produced by the City of Denver Colorado, a Denver program that is on the City's C-View.
Mr. Miller suggested that Chair Drake, Commission liaison, take this information back to the City
Manager when they meet in the near future.
