Ms. Sandon! said she would revise paragr'aph #3 'of the document changing

pr~posed at the September 11, 2001,' meeting.
Member Cutkomp moved to accept the spending/performance process as
proposed for the COBG funding recipients. The motion was duly seconded and
carried unanimously.
b. Final Discussion: Non-Clearwater residents on NAHAS (Neighborhood and
Affordable Housing Advisory Board)
, ,
Ms. Bandoni said this item was part of the discussion at the September 11,
2001, meeting, at which time the NAHAS requested further discussion.
In, response to a question, Ms. Bandoni'said all 'the other City advisory
boards require board members to be City residents. Discussion ensued and concern '
was expressed that allowing a non-resident to serve on the NAHAS would allow
, other City advisory boards to appoint non-residents. It was felt there are sufficient
numbers, of residents qualified to serve on the NAHAB. It was remarked that a City
resident would have a greater commitment to the NAHAS's purpose. Ms. Bandoni
said the City has not experienced difficulty filling the "neighborhood" positions on
the NAHAS, but has had difficulty filling the professional seats. She suggested the
if the professional seats were filled with non-Clearwater residents, they would tend
t,iL:i:\ to be applicants that tend to do business in Clearwater. She said the "housing
:.',~::,:.' provider" category is currently vacant.
A representative from CSF (Community Service Foundation) offered to help
find a potential candidate for the vacant position.
Member Graham moved that non-residents of Clearwater continue to be
prohibited from serving on the NAHAS. The motion was duly seconded and carried
unanimously.
c. Updates: Fulton and Greenwood Apartments
Ms. Bandoni said the City is in the process of acquiring the 4 one-bedroom
units at Fulton Apartments and determining their best use. The contractor has been
selected.' Construction of the '16 units at the Fulton Apartments will begin the first
quarter of 2002. The County will provide bond financing and initiate a tax credit
application to be approved by the State for the 'Greenwood Apartment rehabilitation
project. The County has asked the City to modify the terms of the agreement by
extending the payment another 3 years, for a total of an a-year repayment plan.
The agreement Includes a clause stating if the Greenwood Apartments experience a
ca~h flow sooner than the tenth year, the County would be required to begin the
repayments.

Andre Dobson, Greenwood Community Health Resource Center, announced
an annual banquet at 6:30 p.m. on November 30, 2001, at the Clearwater Country
Club. .
Beth Eschenfelder, Mustard Seed and'President of the Pinellas County
Coalition for the Homeless, said the Coalition identifies churches and other facilities
that arc willing to provide shelter to help the homeless. She is always searching for
more shelt~rs and volunteers. Donations of toiletries, mattresses, and floor mats
are needed. She announced the first planning for Cold Night Shelter will be held at
the St. Petersburg/Clearwater Airport conference room. .
Carole Ciokiewicz, Executive Director of CHIP (Clearwater Homeless
Intervention Project), said CHIP is partnering with the Clearwater Police Department
and Directions for Mental Health in a 2-year $ 1 million grant program funded from
the Department of Justice. The policing/homeless outreach initiative program which
began October 12, 2001, has enabled 50 trained police officers to patrol the
downtown corridor to identify homeless individuals. The program seeks to recruit
homeless persons and refer them to appropriate social service programs. The
program is strictly voluntary. Ms. Ciokiewicz said to date, only 15 persons of 300
homeless persons interviewed have attended the program. Other homeless
organizations are working with CHIP throughout the County. She said although
working with the homeless population requires repeated counseling, she' feels this
program will make a difference in Clearwater.
Jerry Spilatro, CSF (Community Service Foundation) said his agency often
does not report the addresses of homes that have been rehabilitated by CSF. He
said they include 1200 North Saturn Avenue and 1741 North Greenwood Avenue.
He encouraged NAHAS members to visit the homes.
The next NAHAB meeting is scheduled for January 18, 2002. Ms. Bandoni
said she expects her replacement will be on board at that time.
