,The meeting was called to order at 8:10 a.m. at the MUllicipal Services
, Building. '
In order to provide continuity for research', the items listed are in agenda order
although not necessarily discussed in tha,t order.
Reports
Member Byrnes met with Dunedin's Finance Director regarding how their
Fis~al Review Committee functions. Dunedin has 37,000 people while Clearwater
has over' 100,000. Dunedin has two financial bodies: 11 Fiscal Revie~ Committee
and 2) Board of Finance. The FRC has nine members, serve 3 year terms,and
generally have some financial background. They work in teams of two and work,
closely with staff. They are able to spend considerable time together since they are
m'ostly retirees. Meetings are held as required. The Board of Finan~e has seven
members, serve three-year terms, and meet onc'e quarterly or as needed. That
board serves in an' advisory capacity to the Commission and City Manager,
C referencing all ,financial affairs of the City. ' In response to a question, Member
Byrnes said Dunedin's members are appointed by the Commission. He was unsure
who interviews prospective members. He felt Dunedin's system is more workable
than Clearwater's. It was questioned how Dunedin's advisory board procedures
relate to the Sunshine Law.
Member Stuart reported on Largo's FRC. Largo has six commissioners and a
mayor: Each appoints a FRC member. Their FRC meets three to four times a year,
for approximately 3 hours, jf there are projects to review. A meeting is held in
. . "
~eptember to review the next budget.

Budget Director Tina Wilson said that per the newspaper, the Mayor is considering a
Blue Ribbon Task Force or a budget advisory committee. It was noted the City has'
hundreds of ongoing projects that the FRC does not have the time to review. It 'was
remarked staff does a good job and the FRC represents the citizenship of

Clearwater; A c'omment was made the FRC is Commission-appointed and should be ,
'Commission-directed. : Concern was expressed that FRC terms are tied to '
. Commission terms, and valuable members are lost when Commissioners' terms
change. It was commented the number, of FAC members will not make a significant
dlf,ference In, the board's function.
Discussion ensued regarding past,projects. It was remarked the FAC should
be aware of the past, but review upcoming projects and provide insight and
objective review to the Commission. It was remarked Ms. Wilson also can continue
to suggest projects for FRC review. It was suggested FRC members reviow
financial aspects of proposed projects, not policy. A comment was' made the FRC's
purpose is to affo~d a yoice in government. It was suggested FRC members initiate
'and maintain contact with their,respective Commissioner regarding upcoming
projects and what they would like the FRC to'review. Consensus was for FRC'
., ,members to contact their respective Commissioner.
The meeting recessed from 9:25 to 9:35 a.m.
"
"
Member ,Stuart moved FRC term limits continue to be tied to their respective
Commissioner's term. The motion was duly seconded ,and carried unanimously.
