2.2 Approve $28,245.84 settlement of the liability claim of Mr. and Mrs. Lance Latta
and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
On February 16, 2010 Mr. and Mrs. Lance Latta’s property at 1433 Admiral
Woodson Dr. was flooded by raw sewage. An obstruction in the sewer line
maintained by the City caused the sewage backup. As the backup resulted from
the City’s failure to properly maintain the sewer line, the City is responsible for the
damage to the Latta’s property.
Mr. and Mrs. Latta incurred $28,245.84 in damage to their property. The City’s
Work Session 2010-03-29 2
limit of liability as provided by Section 768.28, Florida Statutes is $100,000. The
City’s Risk Management Division and City’s Claims Committee recommend this
settlement. Funding for the payment of this settlement is available in the budget
for claims expense in the Central Insurance Fund.
2.3 Provide direction regarding the list of projects and the funding strategy for a
Performance Contracting Agreement with Honeywell. (WSO)
In 2009, a contract was awarded to Honeywell to install equipment at the Long
Center that would reduce the cost of operation and generate savings to the
General Fund. This equipment included air conditioning, humidifier and lighting
modifications. During the last six months, the savings have been documented
above the projected level. Honeywell is guaranteeing annual savings for 20 years
and must reimburse the difference between the guaranteed savings and the
actual savings if the actual is less.
Staff requested Honeywell review all City facilities to evaluate and make
recommendations on how electrical and operating costs can be further reduced.
While the original list included many more facilities, the proposed list of buildings
includes only those facilities staff feels are worthy of consideration. After Council
provides direction, staff will bring forward a contract with Honeywell for
Council approval.
The projects can be categorized in 6 broad areas:
1. Building lighting - the replacement of existing lights to a more efficient lighting
fixture
2. Field lighting - replace lights at various sports fields to increase the lighting
intensity while reducing the electrical cost of operation
3. Mechanical - install efficient air conditioning systems
4. Controls Automation - install automated thermostats with a central location to
control the temperature in buildings from a remote site
5. Roof replacement – replace existing roof covering with energy efficient
materials
6. High Efficiency motors and pool covers – replace pool motors with more
energy efficient motors and install pool covers to reduce energy and operational
costs.
There are several projects staff would like to discuss separately to get Council
direction.
1. Basic Projects – this includes the projects staff is in agreement should go
forward due to the facility life and usage expectancy and the simple payback
calculation (cost of project divided by annual guaranteed savings). Staff would like
Council’s feedback on going forward on these projects.
2. City Hall – there has been discussion as to the life expectancy of the current
City Hall. It is budgeted for replacement in the current Penny for Pinellas list in
FY14 (New City Hall and Parking Garage) at $7 million. In addition, as a cost
cutting measure, the possibility of moving the City Hall offices to a portion of the
Work Session 2010-03-29 3
Main Library to save taxpayer dollars has been discussed. There is a potential
annual operating savings of approximately $300,000 by making this move. In
addition, there would be the cost avoidance of around $500,000 of needed capital
improvements (roof repairs, painting, elevators, carpet, etc.). Staff would like
Council’s direction on the future of City Hall and whether to include these energy
efficiency repairs in the contract with Honeywell.
3. Long Center Roof Replacement – although this project does not have
significant payback, the roof over the entire Long Center is scheduled for
replacement in FY12 from Penny II funds ($700,000). We recommend that this
project be completed as part of this contract with Honeywell and the funds moved
forward to the current fiscal year. Staff would like direction from Council on
moving this project forward.
4. There are three field lighting projects for consideration; however, the payback
periods do not make these projects feasible simply from the payback
standpoint. The primary reason these projects would go forward would be to
improve the illumination of the field. However, there would be some reduction in
overall cost of operation.
Funding Strategy
Funds available for these projects are as follows:
Basic Projects
Non – General Fund
Several facilities are related to the operations of various enterprise and internal
service funds. It is recommended that these improvements be funded from
available resources in those funds. It is broken out as follows:
$341,724 Gas Fund
$71,956 Parking Fund
$5,830 Water and Sewer Fund
$28,050 Solid Waste Fund
$201,841 Garage Fund
$11,227 General Services Fund
$660,628 Total Non-General Fund Basic Projects
General Fund – There are several sources of funding available for these projects:
$463,400 - A grant was awarded in the amount of $463,400 specifically to make
energy efficiency improvements to buildings. It is recommended that the MSB,
main library, and main police building be partially funded from this grant.
$900,000 - Project 315-xxxx (Aging Well Center) included funds for air
conditioning, roofing and other improvements to the Long Center. There is an
available balance in this project of $900,000 that is available for these
improvements. It is recommended that these funds be used for the long center

improvements.
$929,417* – General Fund Reserves will be needed to fund the remainder of
these projects.
$2,292,817 – Total General Fund Basic Projects

$5,667,729 – Total General Fund Projects
$6,328,357 – Total All Projects
* Total General Fund Reserves (if all projects completed) = $3,604,329
Project Benefits and Annual Operating Savings
Although the main purpose of doing these projects is to reduce energy and
operating costs in the future, there are many other positive benefits to making
these improvements, which include:
Work Session 2010-03-29 5
Long-term reductions in the City’s operating costs
Is entirely self-funding, well within State guidelines for similar projects
Corrects many maintenance and reliability issues in facilities
Savings performance is guaranteed, significantly reducing the risk of financial
payback
Over 30 facilities throughout the City will be improved
Improves the indoor air environment in many facilities
Eliminates many existing indoor climate issues
Retains the capability for local temperature set point adjustment, with central
range limiting and override capability
Reduces potential downtime and improves overall productivity for City staff
working in the facilities
Provides faster, less costly maintenance response to problems
Improves public safety through improved lighting quality in many public areas
Reduces the City’s Carbon Footprint
The estimated annual operation savings per fund is as follows if all projects are
completed:
$390,186 – General Fund
$ 21,755 – Gas Fund
$ 6,593 – Parking Fund
$ 1,422 – Water and Sewer Fund
$ 4,040 – Solid Waste Fund
$ 16,239 – Garage Fund
$ 994 – General Services Fund
$441,229 – Total All Funds
In response to questions, Parks and Recreation Director Kevin Dunbar said
the project with Honeywell last year at the Long Center went well. The
lighting upgrades and air conditioning unit replacement extended
maintenance from once every 5 years to every 15 years. The annual cost
savings are estimated at $200,000.
Solid Waste/General Services Assistant Director Rick Carnley said the same
types of projects were applied to all city facilities. Items on the list were based
on potential savings and payback. Staff researched solar panels and did not
include them on the list as the pay back was very long.
Discussion ensued with concerns expressed that the payback for some
projects was over 20 years or a facility’s useful life was in question.
Work Session 2010-03-29 6
Finance Director Margie Simmons said smaller facilities, or those subject to
closure last year, were not included. Mr. Dunbar said none of the Parks and
Recreation facilities on the list will be recommended for closure.
It was stated that the project will be on-going and changes can be made.
In response to questions, Honeywell representative Bueno Pradis said the
lighting retrofits will put in more efficient lighting. Replacement cost of lamps
is included in the calculation.
It was suggested that projects be limited to a 16-year payback.
Staff was directed to remove the following items from the list:

City Hall
In response to a suggestion, Ms. Simmons said Economic Development and Housing
will go to the Municipal Services Building if City Hall moves to the Main Library.
Library Director Barbara Pickell said if the East Branch closes, staff anticipates half of
its users to go to the Main Branch. The Main Branch is the resource Library for the
entire county. Citizens have access to library material as anywhere in the county.
Moving City Hall to the Main Library can work but not recommended as it would require
many changes to the current layout. The second floor would be easiest to convert to
City Hall. The youth collection would move to the atrium area on the first floor.
Discussion ensued with concerns expressed regarding the decentralization of City Hall
functions.
Field Lighting
In response to questions, Parks and Recreation Director Kevin Dunbar said the city
Work Session 2010-03-29 7
cannot host recreational activities and tournaments if the field lighting is not to
standard. The fields at Eddie C. Moore and Countryside do not meet lighting standards.
It was stated that legal staff would need to review lighting standards to determine
liability risk.
3. Library
3.1 Approve an Interlocal Agreement with the School Board of Pinellas County to
allow the cafe area in the Main Library to be used for on-the-job training for
students in Pinellas County Schools Extended Transition Program, at no cost to
the School Board through the end of the 2011-2012 school year and authorize the
appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
During the first five years the Main Library has been open, there have been four
vendors operating in the cafe area. Despite enthusiastic beginnings, none has
been able to generate a profit in that location, and the average gross monthly
income reported has been around $2,000. The cafe does, however, fill a need in
the library and has strong support from regular users and library advocacy group
members.
To create a more stable situation, the profit incentive was removed from the cafe
operation and the Calvin Hunsinger School was approached. Their Extended
Transitions Program is a perfect fit for this situation. They are looking for an
opportunity to provide on-the-job- training for their students, and don’t need to
make a profit. They will provide teacher supervision for the students while
working at the library cafe, be responsible for all build out of the space and the
purchase and preparation of all food sold. The School Board will also assume
liability for their students and employees. In exchange, the City and the Library
will provide the space and the utilities, free of charge, and receive an operating
cafe in what is now empty space.
This is a positive, mutually beneficial partnership that meets the needs of both
organizations and the community as a whole. The proposal has the wholehearted
support of the library advocacy groups. The actual costs to the city are minimal,
since, although revenues are budgeted at $6,000, the library has never been able
to collect the budgeted amount of rent from any previous vendor.
4. Marine and Aviation
4.1 Approve an agreement between the City of Clearwater and the Florida
Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) under Florida’s Clean Vessel Act
Grant Program in the amount of $88,548 for two (2) pumpout systems at the
Downtown Boat Slips,authorize the appropriate officials to execute same and
adopt Resolution 10-09.
Work Session 2010-03-29 8
The City has received FDEP Agreement MV008 for Clean Vessel Act Grant
Program CVA 09-552, confirming the City will receive $88,548.00 (75% of the
Total Project Cost) for the construction, equipment purchase, and installation of
two (2) pumpout systems for the Downtown Boat Slips on a cost reimbursement
basis. The city portion $29,516.00 (25%) will come from Downtown Boat Slip CIP
93405.
The cost of the project was estimated by Misener Marine as part of their
design/build package. A midyear amendment will increase the budget for Capital
Improvement Program (CIP) project 0315-93405 Downtown Boat Slips by
$88,548 of FDEP grant funding. Sufficient budget in the amount of $29,516 is
available in CIP 0315-93405, Downtown Boat Slips for total funding in the amount
of $118,064 for pump outs.
Staff was directed to find out if a fee could be charged for the pump out service.
5. Parks and Recreation
5.1 Approve demolition of a 2,694 square foot masonry structure located at 105 East
Avenue North with City Manager flexibility funds not to exceed $11,600. (consent)
In 1955, the City constructed a 2,694 square foot building located at 105 East
Avenue. The building has been used for a variety of purposes including office
space, storage, and most recently a storage and work space for the Special
Events Division.
Special Events has since consolidated their various storage facilities and
operations into the renovated Armory Building located on N. Missouri Avenue
and no longer need the East Avenue facility.
Staff has determined that there is no longer a City need for this building and since
it is over 55 years old it should be demolished. All the privately owned land
surrounding this structure has been cleared and is for sale.
Staff is also recommending that the asbestos survey, asbestos removal and
demolition be funded from the City Manager’s flexibility funds not to exceed
$11,600. The City will obtain quotes and award a contract for the demolition.
5.2 Approve the submission of a grant application to the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection Office of Greenways and Trails (OGT) for a
Recreational Trails Program grant in the amount of $200,000 for the construction
of trails within the Lake Chautauqua Equestrian and Nature Preserve. (consent)
The current funding cycle for Office of Greenways and Trails grants concludes
March 31, 2010. The City has successfully secured this grant in the past and is
desirous of submitting a grant application in this next grant cycle.
Work Session 2010-03-29 9
The approval of this grant application and the construction of trails within the Lake
Chautauqua Equestrian and Nature Preserve is consistent with and required by
the Management Plan as approved by the Florida Communities Trust.
The City will be required to provide $200,000 in matching funds which are
available in CIP 315-93272, Recreation Trails. The grant will allow the City to
leverage existing funds allocated to recreational trails in the Capital Improvement
Program.
Future maintenance of the trails will be provided through the adopt-a-park
program volunteers and existing park maintenance staff. There will be no
additional FTE requirements.
In response to questions, Parks and Recreation Director Kevin Dunbar said the project
addresses the School Board property the city purchased instead of the Ruppel
property. The city could not come to an agreement with the Ruppels.
5.3 Approve a new Capital Improvement Project 315-93411 entitled, Clearwater
Beach Lifeguard Building Renovations, for $455,700, approve funding from
unappropriated retained earnings of the parking fund and authorize the
appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
The beach lifeguard building located on Clearwater Beach, just south of Pier 60, is
in need of renovations to accommodate the beach lifeguards and their rescue
equipment. The existing building was built in excess of 20 years ago and has
required constant maintenance to repair weathering issues, aesthetics and
plumbing issues.
When the Beach Walk project was completed the lifeguard building only received
a coat of fresh paint to extend the useful life until additional improvements are
made. The building is adjacent to the Beach Walk trail system and does not align
with the current improvements in the area. The building needs to be updated and
modernized to accommodate the operations of the beach lifeguards as well as all
of their equipment.
The renovated building will provide enhanced storage areas on the ground floor,
staff lockers, work areas, bathroom and showers on the second floor and
observation post and staff and planning room on the third floor.
The footprint of the building will remain the same. An additional story will be
added for improved visibility of the beach operations as well as needed staff
operations area increasing overall space from approximately 1800 square feet. to
2280 square feet.
Work Session 2010-03-29 10
The building is for city staff only and will not be accessible to the public. For that
reason the City will be requesting a waiver of the ADA access requirements to the
2nd and 3rd floors.
If approved, a mid-year budget amendment will transfer $455,700 from the
unappropriated retained earnings of the Parking Fund to establish this project.
The construction contract will be brought to Council for approval, tentatively in
August.
The allocation of funds for this project can be broken out as
follows:
Professional Services (design and other services) $43,000
Site Development $5,700
Construction $387,000
Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment $20,000
Total $455,700
In response to questions, Parks and Recreation Director Kevin Dunbar said if the ADA
waiver is denied, a lift would have to be installed on the exterior stairwell. The Beach
Aquatic Center will not be operating during the summer season. Staff has not met with
local businesses regarding the increase in the exterior of building.
5.4 Approve a one-year Aquatic Pool Use Agreement, with automatic one-year
renewals upon agreement by both parties, between the City of Clearwater (City)
and All Childrens Hospital, Inc. (ACH), to partner in providing the Long Center
pool facility and its amenities for the purpose of conducting a pediatric aquatic
therapy program and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same.
(consent)
All Children’s Hospital has conducted aquatic therapeutic programs at the Long
Center for many years.
It is ACH’s desire, as well as the City’s, to continue this partnership by approving
a more formal Agreement which will protect both ACH and the City.
As part of the agreement, ACH will abide by all Long Center rules and regulations
as it relates to the use of the aquatic facilities.
ACH will have use of the pool on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of each
Work Session 2010-03-29 11
week from 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. including the therapeutic pool and the locker
facilities.
ACH will pay a license fee of $660.00 per month for the use of the pool.
The effective date of the Agreement is retro-active to February 9, 2010. The
agreement provides for automatic renewals of one year until either party
terminates this Agreement for any reason or at any time.
Councilmember George N. Cretekos said he is a consultant for All Childrens Hospital.
The City Attorney said an answer will be provided by Wednesday's council meeting as
to whether Councilmember George N. Cretekos needs to recuse himself.
The Council recessed from 10:50 a.m. to 10:59 a.m.
6. Solid Waste/General Support Services
6.1 Award a contract (Purchase Order) for $364,496.00 to Southern Sewer

In response to questions, Solid Waste/General Services Assistant Director Rick Carnley
said the city has four sweepers. The units run all day every day. If the units are taken
out of service for maintenance overhaul, the city will not be able to clean streets. These
units cannot be rented. The purchase is funded out of the stormwater fee.
Staff was directed to provide cost information for the chassis.
