SUMMARY: Following the completion of the Cleveland Street Streetscape Project, there has been a greater interest in occupying existing buildings and tenant spaces on Cleveland Street. However, much of this interest has involved occupying the buildings and tenant spaces with uses that are different from those previously established. As many of the building/properties in this area have limited off-street parking or no off-street parking whatsoever, an issue has arisen as to how conversions from office and retail uses to more parking intense uses such as restaurants can occur. In response to this issue, the Planning Department has proposed an amendment that will add a footnote to the existing Tables 2-902 and 2-903 within the Community Development Code. The footnote would read as follows: For those existing buildings/properties with frontage on Cleveland Street that are located between Osceola Avenue and Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue that have no existing off-street parking spaces, nor the ability to provide any off-street parking spaces, the use(s) of the buildings/properties may be changed without the off-street parking that would otherwise be required for the change of use being provided. Patrons of these establishments can use the public parking spaces available in various locations and garages that are widely distributed through out the Downtown area. The Community Development Board (CDB) reviewed the proposed text amendment at its pubic hearing of September 16, 2008, and the amendment was recommended for approval without comments.

SUMMARY: • The 2.75 acres is located directly south of Pier 60 between Coronado Drive and South Gulfview Boulevard, north of Second Street. • The subject property is currently vacant, but used as a temporary City public parking lot. • On October 19, 2004, the Community Development Board (CDB) approved a Flexible Development application for the construction of a 350-unit hotel with associated amenities and 75 attached dwellings as a mixed-use development (FLD2004-02013 ). • The City Council approved a companion Development Agreement on February 17, 2005 (Case No. DVA2004- 00001). These development approvals authorized the following: • Use of 250 hotel rooms from the Beach by Design density pool; • Maximum building height of 150 feet; • Vacation of a portion of the right-of-way for Gulfview Boulevard between Coronado Drive and proposed Second Street; • Vacation of the First Street right-of-way between Coronado Drive and Gulfview Boulevard; • Dedication of right-of-way for proposed Second Street between Coronado Avenue and Gulfview Boulevard; and • Dedication of right-of-way for Coronado Drive between proposed Second Street and Gulfview Boulevard. • On May 17, 2005, the CDB approved a Flexible Development application amending the prior project to modify the location of an elevated pedestrian walkway over South Gulfview Boulevard (FLD2004-02013A). • On March 16, 2006, City Council approved an amendment to this original Development Agreement (DVA2004-00001A), which dealt with issues associated with Beach Walk construction and the timing of the dedication of land for Relocated 1st Street (to be known as Second Street once constructed), as well as for the construction of Relocated 1 st Street. • On October 21, 2008, the CDB approved with 13 conditions of approval a Flexible Development application for the construction of a 450-room overnight accommodation use (250-room hotel and 200-room timeshare) (FLD2008-05013). • The proposal is in compliance with the standards for development agreements, is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and furthers the vision of beach redevelopment set forth in Beach by Design.

(consent) SUMMARY: The most recent collective bargaining agreement between the City of Clearwater and CWA Local 3179 expired on September 30, 2008. City management staff and representatives of CWA Local 3179 met beginning in August of 2008 to negotiate a new contract. The parties reached a tentative agreement on November 6, 2008. The Union submitted the proposed agreement to its membership who ratified the agreement by a vote of 191 to 178 on November 20, 2008. The cost associated with the implementation of this agreement is anticipated to be approximately $813,260 in the first year of the contract, with approximately $364,635 being incurred by the General Fund. Additional costs in the form of future wage increases will be the subject of subsequent negotiations in years two and three. This is a three-year agreement providing for a 2.5% merit increase in the first year for all bargaining unit personnel, and establishing re-open terms to negotiate merit increase amounts for the second and third years. The agreement also clarifies rules regarding hours of work, establishes new alternate duty and absence management provisions including a reduction in the maximum accrual of sick leave for new employees from 1560 hours to 1040 hours, and modifies the City's Performance and Behavior Management Program to allow for unpaid disciplinary Decision-Making Leaves to be assessed for periods of one work day up to twenty work days duration.

(consent) SUMMARY: Meeting Date: 12/4/2008 • The Clearwater Nagano Exchange program has been in existence for 49 years. During this time, 68 students have participated in this program. • Prior to 2005, the City of Nagano funded the travel for 4 high school students and one chaperone. In 2005, Nagano requested that the travel expenses from Tampa to Tokyo be funded on Clearwater's end. • In 2005, Council established a scholarship program that provided for one half of the travel costs for students who are City residents. During 2005, this scholarship was funded by Council. From 2006 - 2008, the scholarship was funded through the Nagano Project Code 0181-99928 and a donation code designated for program contributions. For the past four years, all selected students have participated in earning the other half of the travel expense by working at city special events and other fundraising activities. • Due to increased airfares anticipated for 2009, the Nagano Project code will not be sufficient to provide four scholarships. • At the November 3 work session, Council directed Cultural Affairs to research and present options for need -based scholarships to fund this year's program. • All students will still be required to earn a portion of the travel costs by working designated special events and participating in fundraising activities. • The following scholarship criteria is presented for Council review and direction.

(consent) SUMMARY: In February, 2002, the City Council approved a similar agreement for all Co-Sponsored Groups including senior adults and youth. Since then, staff has seen a need to create a separation between the Senior Adult and Youth Co-Sponsor Agreements thus the request for a new Senior Adult Standardized Form. The Senior Adult Co-Sponsor Groups provide a valuable service to the community, through their extensive use of volunteers and volunteer resources. The City owns certain public properties and facilities that are available to be utilized by the Senior Adult Co Sponsor Groups for their programs. The proposed agreement clarifies the roles between the City and the Senior Adult Co-Sponsor Groups and provides added protection for the citizens and Clearwater by placing clear expectations on the Senior Adult Co-Sponsor Groups. Part of the Agreement has a requirement that the Co-Sponsor Groups will provide manpower to support City events and programs not associated with their activities, as well as pay a per person cost for anyone not obtaining a resident/non-resident card. Staff is recommending that the City Manager or his designee be authorized to enter into these agreements similar to all Rental Agreements, Youth Co-Sponsor Agreements and Park Use Agreements. Currently, the agreement will be with the 3-Score Club. The 3-Score Club is a group of 60 years plus men that play softball at the E. C. Moore Complex. Last year they provided over 2500 volunteer hours to City events. The Lawnbowling Club, Clearwater Horseshoe Club and Clearwater Shuffleboard Club will be covered by separate agreements since they maintain buildings and facilities for the City and the expectations for those groups is higher.
