funding of $500,000 or more. There are only two changes proposed in the six-
year capital plan as follows: Main Fire Station The project budget for the Main Fire
Station has been increased by $4,057,520. In 2006, $3 million in Penny II funds
were used to establish a project to renovate or replace the Main Fire Station 45

to construct a category five-rated station with living space for a diverse work force,

City Manager Reports
10. Other Items on City Manager Reports
10.1 Approve amendments to Chapter 2, Administration, Article III, Appointed
Authorities, Boards, and Committees and pass Ordinance 8220-10 on first
reading.
Changes are needed to Chapter 2, Article III, Appointed Authorities, Boards and
Committees to improve efficiency and bring the code up to date with current
procedure. In addition to housekeeping amendments the following are proposed:
Section 2.061(2)(b) is being amended to remove the reference to a resident
having to live in Clearwater for not less than six months. Staff does not verify this
and the provisions regarding excessive absences assure board member
participation. Section 2.062 is being amended to allow boards to be established
via Resolution, as well as Ordinance. A provision allowing boards to be of limited
duration or sunsetted has been added. Requiring staggered terms for boards that
are not of limited duration has been added, as well. Section 2.063(2)(e) is being
amended to provide that vacancies in mid-term will be filled for the unexpired term
being vacated. Section 2.064(3) has been added to reinstate term limits, unless
there are no other qualified nominees. Council's practice is to not reappoint
someone who has served two full terms. Staff has found themselves in an
awkward position of asking the incumbent if they are interested in being
Council 2010-09-09 11
reappointed and then having to explain they were not reappointed because they
have served two full terms. Section 2.066(1)(d) has been added to address
excessive absences for boards meeting on a quarterly schedule. Section 2.067(2)
has been amended to make it clear that a board's rules must designate a quorum
and that no meeting may be held without a quorum present. Section 2.067(3) has
been added to make it clear that all boards are subject to the Sunshine and public
records laws.
