C. Approval of Mr. Glenn A~ Claytor to serve as a Technical Advisory Member
(Technical Category)
Member Fowler moved to accept Glenn Claytor as a member of the
Technlcal'Advisory Committee. The motion was dUly seconded and carried
unanimously.
D. Approval of recommendation to the City Commission to approve the BSRA
(~rownflelds Site Rehabilitation Agreement) for property at 1108 N. Greenwood
Avenue.
Brownfields Coordinator Miles 8allogg said the TAC (Technical Advisory
Committee) reviewed the site history, tank removal, draft agreement, etc. at 1108
.N. Greenwood Avenue. The TAC requested the BAB (Brownfields Advisory Board)
approve the BSRA at this location as it is written by FDEP (Florida Department of
Environmental Protection). Mr. 8allogg said 2 appendices will be added: 1) a list of
. BAB members, and 2) a site access paper indicating the City will allow the FDEP
access the site to look at the property at their convenience. Clarification of site
development agreement language is needed to assure the FDEP that the City will
develop the site. In response to a question, Assistant Director of Public Works Tom
Miller said the BSAA ensures the property is developed in accordance with State
law, giving the City the benefit of State funding. Assistant City Attorney Leslie
Dougal1~Sides said the BSRA also provides protection against liability.
Member Gray moved approval of the Brownfields Site Rehabilitation
Agreement for property at 1108 N. Greenwood Avenue. The motion was duly
seconded and carried unanimously.
E. Recognition of Environmental Advisory Board as the primary board for the
Stevenson's Creek Watershed Management Plan.
Mr. Ballogg said as part of their environmental justice plan, T AC members
'had discussed Stevenson's Creek as a priority issue. Stevenson's Creek Watershed
is larger than the Brownfields area. The EAB (Environmental Advisory Board) has
requested recognition as the primary board to deal with the Stevenson's Creek
Watershed Management Plan. The EAB will work closely with the BAB regarding all
issues. In response to a question, Mr. Miller said the EAB was created in late 1990
to address Stevenson's Creek issues with landowners in the southern portion of the
basin. The EAB has 5 board members, appointed by and reporting to the City
Commission. The EAB feels since the board is responsible for environmental justice
. issues, watershed planning should be dealt with on a basin-wide approach.

ITEM 7 - Other Buslnosl}
A. Environmental JustlCD Action Plan Update - Renu Khator, University of
South Florida
Member Khator said duo to Inclement weather and bomb threats at FAMU
(Florida A&M University), the action plan will be mailed to board members in the
next few weeks. The action plan Includes community strategies, goals, and
recommendations to the City regarding environmental justice. Dr. Khator said the
. action plan was developed from brainstorming sessions with the community,
community and staff forums, and surveys. She invited board members to attend a
joint session with environmental businesses on November 16, 1999, at USF
(University of South Florida). The focus will be Brownfields.
B. Presentation - Melanie Thoenes, Pinellas County Lead Intervention Team -
Lead Poisoning Prevention
Melanie M. Thoenes, Lead Intervention Team Project Coordination. Pinellas
(r~~ County Health Department, presented an overview of lead poisoning programs. The
COC (Centers for Disease Control) in Atlanta has funded the program since 1992.
Lead poisoning is the gradual accumulation of lead in body tissues by inhaling or
injecting the substance~ Lead poisoning is the number one environmental health
problem to children. The County' 5 multi-disciplinary team consists of a medical
component, environmental component, a health educator, and nutritionist. Part of
the team's focus is to prevent lead' poisoning in Pinellas County. She said 2 of the
target zip codes in Clearwater also are in Brownfields areas: 1} 33755 and 2}
33756. Lead poisoning occurs in both adults and children. Local prevention
strategies include community partnerships and collaboration botween health,
housing, and environmental programs. Prevention efforts are targeted to reducing
the sources of exposure in the community and to identify children at-risk.
Educational campaigns to promote community awareness in target zip code areas
need to be intensified. Those with abnormal lead results need to receive follow-up
services. In response to a question, Ms. Thoenes said local ordinances are
necessary to encourage landlords to address lead hazard issues in rental properties.
She said some cities have codes forbidding peeling/flaking paint to address lead
based paint hazards.. She said the COSG (Community Development Block Grant),
HOME and SHIP programs provide somo assistance for lead hazards. Because lead
removal can be costly, wet scraping, removal of old windows, and encapsulation
(placing siding over affected areasl are being used moro actively. It was remarked
disposal of lead materials is difficult. It was commented that financial institutions
do not require lead hazard disclosures. Mr. 801l0gg said he plans to apply for a
.....-/ $225,000 HUD (Housing and Urban Development) grant for leadlair quality

programs. He said COGS funds can be used for the containment of lead. This topic
will be placed on the next meeting agenda. Board members were encouraged to
submit suggestions regarding how to partner with community organizations, and
how to obtain grant funds. "
B. Presentatio'n/Discusslon ~ Tom Ward, USF Graduate Student - Final
Summary of Brownfields Surveys
~t
',-
USF Graduate Student Tom Ward presented a final summary of Brownfields
'interviews. All community residents were interviewed In their own neighborhoods
at their convenience. He said over 65 interviews were attempted and 43
conducted. More than one third af thase asked to participate declined. Of the 43
interviews, 28 of them were conducted from September 1998 to March 1999,
before the Environmental Justice Action' Plan Committee presented the Stevenson's
Creek issue to the community. The remaining 15 interviews were conducted
between April 1999 and July 1999. He reviewed the breakdown of female versus
male, age groups, the list of questions asked, and concerns derived from interviews.
Major issues cited before April 1999 included: 1) health issues; 2) jobs (standards
of Hving issues, benefits, wages, childcare); and 3) the City not keeping its word
'(broken promises, bad faith actions). Issues cited after April 1999 included: 1)
Stevenson's Creek; 2) health issues; and 3) economic development. Other
comments throughout the survey included: 1) the BAS is only an advisory board; 2)
sidewalk issues; 3) transportation issues; 4) perception of uneven treatment of
neighborhoods (one being played against the other); 5) ~ommunication problems
between the City and neighborhood; 6) children's:future; 7) economic development;
and 81 property values. Mr. Ward said the survey was part of a Masters degree
thesis by a white, middle class male, who is not a resident of the Brownflelds area,
the City, or the County. For that reason, he felt the survey did not provide a good
representation of the community. In response to a question, Mr. Ward said
residents feel the BAS is a way for the City to keep the community at arm's length.
Many residents voice their opinions by refusing to attend meetings. It was
remarked that Mr. Ward's survey questions did not reference the BAB's role.
,
'......./
Mr. Ward recommended the BAB write an official letter or statement in
support of the cleaning up of Stevenson's Creek, with copies to: 1) the City; 2)
Pinel/as County Health Department; 3) SWFMD {Southwest Florida Water
Management District); 4) FDEP; and 5) the EPA {Federal Environmental Protection
Agency). He said jobs need to be brought into neighborhoods at or above "living
wage" levels and include benefits. ' He suggested partnerships be created between
youth and incoming businesses, and the creation of an internship or cooperative
educational program with high schools and colleges as part of Brownfields area
development. He also recommended the BAS set up community meetings as it did
with the environmental justice action plan and the T AC, to receive greater input and
information directly 'from the community before recommending the creation of
districts. He recommended a community leader chair the committee. He said a
defined set of goals did not emerge from the survey in regards to a master plan,
however, a basic outline surfaced: 1) North and South Greenwood Avenue should
be developed into a service corridor; 2) Myrtle Avenue and Drew Street should be

developed as nolghborhood retan'corrldors; 3) the downtown business district
. '..should,be bordered by Cleveland S~reet, Chestnut Street, Missouri Avenue', and Fort
'Harrison Avenue, with the Town Pond's park in the center of development; 4) the
, Town Park Pond should link nort~ and south community parks; 5) South Ft.
, Harflson Avenue,south of Chestnut Street should be developed as a medical district;
, and 6) Brownfields sites 'outside of these boundaries should be used for inflll
. , housing except where the BAB recommends programs, to meet community needs.
Mr. Ward said'the BAS can use these interviews as representative of the
,community's voice. Ha fait the interview process should continue as long as the
BAS meets. He suggested that Brownfields community members conduct future
'interviews. He suggested the BAB, the ICMA. (International City/Countv
