OTHER ITEMS ON CITY MANAGER REPORT
ITEM #42 - Approve a five (5) year agreement from 12/01/2002 to 11/30/2007 , between the City
of Clearwater and the Boys and Girls Club Inc., for the use and supervision of the Wood Valley
Recreation Center.
The Wood Valley Recreation Center has been operated by the City of Clearwater for
over 25 years. This Center is located on Park Trail Lane just east of the entrance to Moccasin
Lake Park.
A very active neighborhood association has supported this center and surrounding park
since its inception. Staff met with residents on September 9, 2002 and October 14, 2002 to
discuss the proposed change to have the Boys and Girls Club operate the center. Resident
concerns included: tack of a process that would allow community objection to maintain the
status quo, and the Boys and Girls Club requirements for membership cards and an anticipated
S 1 0 - $15 annual fee.
During the budget process it became apparent to staff that some internal changes were
necessary in order to fund the operations of the larger recreation complexes i.e. North
Greenwood Recreation/Aquatic Complex and Ross Norton Recreation/Aquatic Complex.
, Since Wood Valley Recreation Center was the last small neighborhood center
programmed and operated by the city, staff recommends that an agreement with the Boys and
Girls Club Inc. be approved so that the center can still be operated in this neighborhood.
Without this approval or. similar approval with an outside agency the center will be closed down.
This recommendation is not unique in that over the past 20 years resources have been
shifted from all of the smaller recreation centers and playgrounds (Fred Counoyer, Holt Ave.
Recreation Center, Jasmine Courts, Woodgate Park, DelOra Park, etc.) to fund a more
comprehensive recreation program to meet the needs of a citywide system. At Holt Ave. and
Jasmine Court the city was successful in helping these centers obtain another provider to do
programming. '
Under this agreement the Boys and Girls Club will provide the following services:

consumption. will be granted to the agency.
Parks and Recreation Director Kevin Dunbar said the annual fee being charged by the
Boys and Girls Club does not preclude any child from participating in the program.
.
Nine persons spoke expressing concern regarding: 1) short notice to residents about
the proposed agreement and the manner in which it was presented; 2) potential for depreciation
of the value of their homes; 3) a perception the Boys and Girls Club provides limited services;
4) increased traffic and children from other neighborhoods; 5) increa,sed crime and loitering;
and 6) fees for Boys and Girls Club services.
Patty Clark, representing the Boys and Girls Club, said she was sad to hear some of the
comments from residents. She said the Boys and Girls Club would not bring children into this
community from other communities, although children are welcome to visit other clubs. She
said the Boys and Girls Club has existed for over 40 years, serving all age groups and income
levels. Its purpose is to work with the youth within each neighborhood to make it a safer
community and give children a place to go. The clubs offer various activities and after-school
programs. ~he encouraged residents to visit other clubs and meet with Boys and Girls Club
staff.

Aaron McClane, Director of the Boys and Girls Club, said the Boys and Girls Club is a
youth development organization that maintains a partnership with the Big Brothers and Big
Sisters organization. It brings a host, of national programs to each facility and turns no child
away.
In response to a question; Mr. Dunbar said in May 2002, the Assistant Parks and
Recreation Director contacted Ms. Jetton, a community activist in this neighborhood to make
her aware of status of the Wood Valley Recreation Center. Staff advised her the City was in
the process of looking for a third party vendor to operate the Center. Staff contacted Ms. Jetton
several times to explain the City's intent to determine if the Boys and Girls Club would be able
to partner with the City to operate the facility., Mr. Dunbar said he attended a community
meeting in October to explain the City's intent to partner with the Boys and Girls Club. The
partnership also was discussed as part of the Master Plan at public meetings.
Mr. Dunbar said the Boys and Girls Club is bringing several hundred thousand dollars to
the table and a solution to operation of the facility. The facility will be upgraded and will stay
open the same hours it currently is open, perhaps longer. The facility will remain a City facility.
The Boys and Girls Club will be responsible for operation of the facility and related programs.
The agreement with the Boys and Girls Club includes a 30-day termination clause for llcause"
and a gO-day termination clause for "no cause" should the City unhappy with their performance,
Staff feels the Boys and Girls Club can provide a solution to keep the facility open. Mr. Dunbar
said he \~as unaware of any negativity towards the Boys and Girls Club. ,
In response to a question, Mr. McClane said upgrades to the facility would include a full
kitchen. The facility does not have one now.
Ms. Clark said many successful people attended the Boys and Girls Club's facilities as
children. The Boys and Girls Club makes every effort to adapt programs and operations to
individual neighborhoods' needs. '
Mr; Dunbar said although the Boys and Girls Club would continue to support
neighborhood activities. The City would still have the ability to program outdoor activities at the
facility.
In response to a question. Mr. Dunbar said each Boys and Girls Club has its own '
citizens advisory board to determine and advise staff of the type of activities to offer at each
facility. Mr. McCloneis proposing a Clearwater Board with 3 - 5 members from each club that
would report to him. Residents would have input regarding the facilities' activities. The City ,
would still be administrator of the lease.
In response to a question, Ms. Clark said the Boys and Girls Club would consider '
providing transportation service for children for after-school care and summer camp for Wood
Valley, if it is determined there is a need for the service.
In response to a question. Mr. Dunbar said the Wood Valley Recreation facility currently
has summer programs but no organized leagues. There currently is no fee for services. The
recreation passes are required for out of area visitors only. The Boys and Girls Club would
, offer additional programming to the current programs. He said the Wood Valley Recreation
Center is currently functioning as a drop-in facility. Some days the center is lightly used and
other days it is busy. Ms. Clark said the Pinellas Park Boys and Girls Club is similar to the
facility that the Wood Valley Recreation Center would become. except that it has baseball

diamonds, etc, Mr. r"kClone said the Boys aid Girls Club would work with the County to
schedule flag football and other sports activit>es at Wood Valley.
In response to a question, Mr. McClane said the children who use the Boys and Girls
Clubs take pride in their property and keep it clean.
Discussion ensued regarding the community's perception of the Boys and Girls Club
and the claim by residents of lack of notificat:'on to them regarding the facility's disposition. It
was remarked that although residents in attendance tonight felt strongly about this issue, their
opinions may not reflect the opinion of the cC1mmunily at large. Mr. Dunbar said the Citizens
Advisory Board would provide another opportunity for the residents to voice their opinions
regarding operation of and programs at the facility. It was remarked that historically, the Boys
and Girls Club has had an' excellent reputatic.n. It was felt that residents' concerns could be
alleviated through education about the Boys and Girls Club.
In response to a question, Mr. Dunba... said currently, the facility has one full time and
two part-time staff. Mr. McClone said the Boys and Girls Club is proposing two full time and
one part-time staff.

ITEM #44 - Pass Ordinance No. 7015.02. modifvinQ paraQraph (9) of Chapter 33. Section
33.067 of the Code of Ordinances adding a new designated slow.down minimum wake zone off
Marina Del Rey and Isle of Sand Key, on the first reading. .
In 1990, the City of Clearwater adopted ordinance No. 4995-90 establishing a
slow speed - minimum wake zone in the internal canals of ~,Iarina Del Rey and Isle of
Sand Key due to reduced visibility. The ,Harbormaster was recently contacted by the
board of directors of the Moorings of Sand Key whose residents requested having the
wake zone extended to the east of their communities off Marina Del Rey and Isle of
Sand Key. With the increase in the number of boaters, the open water where boaters
can pick up speed and the blind corners entering the harbor, the community believes the
zone should be extended further east for safety reasons.
. The current code requires persons operating vessels not to exceed five miles per
hour within fifty feet of any dock, pier, seawall or shoreline within the waters of the City.
(Ordinance No. 33.072) The general public does not seem to be aware of this rule,
therefore it is necessary to h.ave the zone posted. We would like to request that the
Commission authorize a seventy-five yard buffer from the shoreline.
Letters were sent to the ten homeowners whose properties are along the
,shoreline of Isle of Sand Key on Sand Key Estates Drive. Those surveyed were asked
whether or not they thought a wake zone was necessary. Of the ten letters sent out, six
residents responded affirming the wake zone needs to be extended. We have also
received several additional requests from residents on Marina Del Rey.
Once Ordinance 7015-02 is adopted, the City will request permission from the
Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, 'Army Corps of Engineers, US Coast Guard
and DEP for the permits to install the signage necessary to establish the extended
n"linimum wake zone. Pinellas County will be asked to pay for the signs and buoys from
funds they have for that purpose, and the installation will be performed by Speeler
Enterprises. who has the county contract. This process takes as much as six months.
Commissioner Jonson moved to modify paragraph (9) of Chapter 33, Section 33.067 of
the Code of Ordinance adding a new designated slow down minimum - wake z.one off Marina
Del Rey and Isle of Sand Key, on the first reading. The motion was duly seconded and carried
unanimously. "
