Boys & Girls Club of the Suncoast
"
Boys & Girls Club of the Suncoast Executive Director Rosalie Murray stated this
year, the agency serves 50 additional children at its Jasmine Court facility. It has had to

through the City, in FY (fiscal year) 1999/00. She reported the Jasmine Court club had
placed third in a recent educational event hosted by their facility. She appreciated board
and City support and welcomed visits to the facility. In response to a suggestion that a

Clearwater Housing Authority board member could offer expansion advice, Ms. Murray said
the agency is considering a nearby spot for teen programs.
Girls. Inc.
Girls, Inc. Executive Director Tim Caddell stated the agency has completed a
significant reorganization to address recent financial problems. Two Pinellas County
canters are closing. He said City support is critical as the agency struggles to continue its
operations in Clearwater. He said without City CDSG funding during the past two years, it
has been increasingly difficult to meet children's needs. Mr. Caddell announced his
pending resignation.
Director of Programs & Operations Alexis Sutherland reviewed agency programs,
including one that supports girls dealing with Middle School issues. She noted the need for
science projects and other related expenses.
ITEM #6 - Consolidated Plan: Process and Schedule
Assistant Housing Director Nina Bandoni said staff is compiling information related
to the Consolidated Plan, which will outline programs and budget strategies the City
intends to implement by FY 2004/05. Staff has discussed proposed process changes with
subrecipients and will review their feedback. Citizen participation meetings were held: 11
February 16, 2000 ~ Housing; 2) March 6, 2000 - Public Housing; 3) March 8, 2000 -
Homeless & Special Needs; and 4) March 15, 2000 - Social Services. Economic
development issues will be addressed on March 22, 2000. An internal meeting of City
departments will review staff observed needs. Statistical data related to citizen
participation and input is being gathered.
ITEM #7 - SHIP Plan
In July 1992, the Florida legislature created the SHIP (State Housing Initiative
Partnership) program for the State to share with local governments, revenues collected
from the documentary stamp tax on deeds. Local governments determine how to use
these funds to meet State affordable housing goals. In each of the next 3 fiscal years, the
City will receive $854,299. Program funds must be used to support the construction,
rehabilitation, and preservation of affordable housing.
The City's plan provides strategies and projections for each of the 3 years. The plan
abides by Ordinance #5410-93, which created a housing assistance trust fund, requiring
the Commission to adopt a housing assistance plan, designate administrative responsibility,
and create an affordable housing advisory committee. The plan outlines current and future
initiatives to improve the City's housing stock. Community input helped develop the plan.
Ms. Sandoni reported in February, the State had requested the City submit a 1 to 3
year plan related to SHIP funds by May 3, 2000. The plan addresses local housing
assistance, and outlines strategies and processes. New programs proposed in anticipation
of future needs and to address citizen participation concerns, include demolition and new
construction, emergency repairs, and disabled retrofits.

ITEM #8 - HousinQ Pool
, Last year, NAHAB approved creation of a hOUSing pool. Staff has worked with four
non~profit hOUSing providers to develop a uniform process that identifies acceptable
activities, access, and reimbursement procedures. Ms.,Bandoni said the application
process would require annual submissions and run concurrent with CDBG. NAHAS will
approve pool participants. She said money cannot be precommitted until tasks are
completed. ,She reviewed types of projects permitted. Part of the funds will be used for a
,line of credit for developers to finance projects through the housing pool. Their repayments
will be returned to the pool for future use.

ITEM # 11 - Announcements/Board Comments

.1:
~,~:
Concern was expressed the board has not received some subgrantee reports and
cannot evaluate'related activities. It was noted Career Options, a subgrantee awarded
$75,OOO~ had not submitted a report in 5 months. Ms. Band ani said a Career ,Options
representative had informed staff in July 1999, that it could not achieve its mission and
requested its removal from consideration. She was unaware of the situation until late Fall.
By that time, the RFP (Request for Proposals) process to reassign this award for economic
development opportunity services could not be used to fund another organization before
. September 2000. The funds will roll over and be available in the same category in October
2000. It was felt the board should have been apprised of this issue.
Consensus was for staff to communicate all relative changes to the board.
Discussion ensued regarding the effects of the department's reorganization. In
response to concerns the meeting packets had not been timely, Ms. Bandon; reviewed staff
efforts on behalf of the board. She stated a new staff member is being trained. Concern
was expressed the City not return to its previous practice of distributing unused award
money without board input or approval. The importance of NAHAS retaining control over
grant fund distribution was stated.
ITEM # 1 2 - Next ReQular MeetinQ
The next regular meeting is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. on April 18/ 2000, at 2990
