2. Office of Management and Budget
2.1 Adopt a tentative millage rate of 5.1550 mills for fiscal year 2011/12 and set
public hearing dates on the budget for September 14, 2011 and September 29,
2011, to be held no earlier than 6:00 p.m.
Work Session 2011-07-18 1
In accordance with the Truth in Millage (TRIM) process, the City Council must
adopt a tentative millage rate and set public hearing dates prior to finalizing and
adopting a budget. This information must be provided to the Pinellas County
Property Appraiser and Tax Collector by August 4, 2011. This City's proposed
millage rate and public hearing dates will be included on the TRIM notices mailed
to taxpayers in August. This tentative rate cannot be increased without first-class
mailing notification to each taxpayer at the expense of the City of Clearwater, not
less than 10 days and not more than 15 days before the first public hearing.
The City Manager's recommended millage rate is 5.1550 mills. The rate is 4.31%
less than the rolled back rate of 5.3874 mills. The rolled-back rate is the millage
rate that will provide the City with the same property tax revenue as was levied in
the prior year. If the proposed millage rate of 5.1550 mills is adopted, the City's
ordinance adopting the millage rate will reflect a 4.31% decrease from the rolled-
back rate of 5.3874 mills.
The proposed millage rate as well as other TRIM millage rates that will be noted
on the 2010 TRIM compliance forms are as follows:
5.1550 mills - Proposed millage rate
5.3874 mills - Rolled-back millage rate
7.2746 mills - Maximum majority vote rate
8.0021 mills - Maximum two-thirds vote rate
The City Manager said the proposed budget is $357,099,210 across all city operations,
representing a $12 million decrease from the current budget. The proposed FY
2011/2012 budget recommends maintaining the millage rate at 5.1550 mills. Staff
continues to monitor fuel prices and impact to operating costs. The EMS
reimbursement is still in question; Pinellas County may undergo another study to
validate recommendations.
Budget Director Tina Wilson provided a power point presentation detailing the proposed
budget and staff reductions.
In response to questions, Ms. Wilson said the roll back rate is revenue neutral rate, the
millage rate needed to maintain the property tax revenues of the current fiscal year. The
rolled back rate is 5.3874 mills. Under Amendment 1, 7.2746 mills is the maximum
millage rate allowed. Fire Chief Robert Weiss said the three Fire Lieutenant positions
being eliminated are multiplier positions obtained during previous union negotiations.
Parks and Recreation Director Kevin Dunbar said the department incurred over 50,000
volunteer hours in current fiscal year; equivalent to over $1 million. Library Director
Barbara Pickell said the department's volunteer efforts represent 7 FTEs (Full Time
Equivalent).
Work Session 2011-07-18 2
Staff was directed to provide information regarding volunteer hours for the police
department and to clarify reported expenditure increase for Planning and Development.
Discussion ensued with concerns expressed regarding spreading staffing levels too thin
in some areas.
3. Economic Development and Housing
3.1 Approve the City of Clearwater's Fiscal Year 2011-16 Five-Year Consolidated
Plan and Fiscal Year 2011-12 Action Plan, to carry forward the goals and
objectives set forth in the Plan, as required by HUD, authorize the City to enter
into agreements with organizations contained in the Fiscal Year 2011-12
Consolidated Action Plan, and authorize the appropriate officials to execute
same.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires
communities that receive entitlement Community Development Block Grant
Program (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) funding to
prepare a comprehensive five (5) year consolidated planning document that
evaluates the needs of the community and sets forth strategies to address those
needs. The Fiscal Year 2011-16 Consolidated Plan responds to identified needs
and continues prior Consolidated Plan activities. The Plan includes an executive
summary, community profile, strategic plan, annual action plan, citizen
participation plan and an analysis of fair housing and certifications. The
community profile and the strategic plan are the two major components of the
document. The community profile identifies the demographics and the strategic
plan identifies the needs and how they are going to be addressed.
HUD establishes three main goals to develop viable communities. They include
providing housing, a suitable living environment and economic opportunities. In
addition to the main goals, HUD has also established five areas in which
participating jurisdictions must include to reach their main goals. They include
housing, homeless, non-homeless and special needs, community services and
facilities, and economic development. The City of Clearwater goals identified
through its consolidated planning process include:
• Housing Goal: Provide availability and accessibility to decent housing to the
low to moderate-income families in the City of Clearwater.
• Homeless Goal: Help to prevent and reduce homelessness within the City of
Clearwater.
• Non-Homeless and Special Needs Goal: Expand the accessibility and
coordination of social services to the City of Clearwater special needs
population.
Work Session 2011-07-18 3
• Community Development and Public Services/Facilities Goal: Enhance the
living environment for persons in low to moderate-income areas through
public improvements activities, public service programs and the elimination of
blight.
• Economic Development Goal: Support programs that create economic
opportunities throughout the City of Clearwater with special emphasis given to
areas and persons of low to moderate-income.
In addition, the City is required to create and implement an annual action plan
identifying the sources and uses of federal money for housing, community and
economic development. This annual plan, referred to as a Consolidated Action
Plan, provides HUD with the City's housing, community and economic
development budget and proposed expenditures based on the entitlement funds
and estimated program income that the City will receive in the upcoming fiscal
year to meet the goals established in the Five-Year Plan.
Funds are used to develop viable communities and sustain existing ones. In
addition, the funds will be used to provide safe, decent and affordable housing to
assist extremely low to moderate-income households. This year's Action Plan
allocates federal funds to provide housing opportunities to extremely low to
moderate-income households for new and existing homes, construction and/or
renovation of public facilities, and to fund public services programs.
In Fiscal Year 2011-12, the City is estimated to receive federal funds in the
amount of$838,241 through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
and $500,323 through the HOME Investment Partnership Program HOME). The
total Fiscal Year 2011-12 allocation budget is $1,338,564. Funds provided through
the HOME Program are limited to housing-related activities and administration.
Funds provided through the CDBG Program may be used for housing, community
and economic development, public services and facilities, acquisition, relocation,
demolition, and administration. Additional funding for the Fiscal Year 2011-12
budget will come from estimated program income funds and un-programmed prior
year CDBG, HOME, SHIP and Pinellas County Housing Trust funds (loan
repayments, loan payoffs, recaptured funds, etc). Other funds may include those
from the Neighborhood Stabilization Program 3 (NSP3) and leverage from private
sector investments.
The City partners with several non-profit agencies to implement the goals and
objectives the City established in its Five-year Consolidated Plan. To obtain these
partners, the City annually publishes a Notice of Funding Availability in the local
newspaper and on its website in February. This notice informs the non-profits of
the resources the City will make available and the eligible uses of these
resources. It also informs them of the application period for requesting funds. The
Work Session 2011-07-18 4
applications were due in April. The City received 23 applications for funding
requests.
A Technical Review Committee (TRC), comprised of professionals in the social
service and grants community and two members of the City's Neighborhood and
Affordable Housing Advisory Board (NAHAB), reviewed the applications, scored
them and set forth a strategy to maximize the number of applicants that will
receive a portion of allocated funds. Applicants were given an opportunity to
present at the monthly NAHAB meeting regarding their programs. City staff also
reviewed each application to ensure it met HUD's baseline requirements. The
NAHAB approved the Fiscal Year 2011-16 Consolidated Plan and the
recommended allocations contained in the Fiscal Year 2011-12 Consolidated
Action Plan on June 14, 2011.
Each year, the City may allocate up to 15% of its CDBG allocation for Public
Services organizations. The City may also provide funds for operating expenses
to subrecipients who qualify as a Community Based Development Organization.
While the City received requests for Public Services funding in the amount of
$489,713, the City was only able to allocate $141,351 to nine (9) organizations.
The NAHAB has endorsed a sliding scale funding system for Public Services
applicants that allows the top two scorers to receive 60% of their request, the
second two receive 50% of their request, and others receive 40% of their request
until all of the allowable funds are allocated. The maximum allocation per
agency's request is $30,000. This method allows a majority of the Public Services
applicants to receive funding.
The Consolidated Five-Year Plan and Annual Action Plan are due to HUD on
August 15, 2011.
All organizations that will be receiving an allocation will have agreements
prepared and executed by October 1, 2011. Staff monitors these organizations for
compliance on a yearly basis.
Economic Development and Housing Director Geri Campos Lopez provided a power
point presentation.
In response to questions, Ms. Lopez said housing pool dollars may be used for new
homes or rehabbing existing homes. Staff is looking at ways to better utilize the
economic development revolving loan fund to create jobs. Housing Manager Mike
Holmes said the Homeless Emergency Project did not submit an application this year.
Economic Development and Housing Assistant Director Jim Donnelly said the Safety
Harbor Neighborhood Family Center has documented that 65% of individuals they serve
are Clearwater residents.
Work Session 2011-07-18 5
Concern was expressed regarding homes in current housing stock deteriorating. It was
suggested that a discussion on city's housing stock be agendaed for a future meeting.

5. Human Resources
5.1 Approve the collective bargaining agreement as negotiated between the City of
Clearwater and the International Association of Firefighters Local 1158 for Fiscal
Years 2008/09 and 2009/10, approve the collective bargaining agreement as
negotiated between the City of Clearwater and the International Association of
Firefighters Local 1158 for Fiscal Years 2010/11, 2011/12, and 2012/13 and
authorize the appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
The most recent collective bargaining agreement between the City of Clearwater
and the International Association of Firefighters Local 1158 bargaining unit
expired on September 30, 2008. On June 27, 2011, the parties reached two
separate tentative agreements that were subsequently submitted by the Union to
its bargaining unit members who ratified the agreements by a vote of 137 to 39 on
July 13, 2011.
The first agreement provides for a two-year contract with no changes from the
prior agreement in order to resolve the Fiscal Year 2008/09 and Fiscal Year
Work Session 2011-07-18 7
2009/10 contract years. There are no additional costs associated with this
agreement.
The second agreement is for a three-year contract covering Fiscal Year 2010/11,
Fiscal Year 2011/12, and Fiscal Year 2012/13. The agreement provides for a
suspension of the existing merit step plan and a 2.5% across-the-board general
wage increase in each of the first two years of the contract, with a resumption of a
modified merit step plan that provides for a merit step advancement each year
during the first 12 years of City service and with no general wage increase in the
third year of the contract. The agreement stipulates that any merit step
advancement after September 30, 2013 will be dependent upon and subject to
negotiations for a successor agreement. The agreement also provides that the
parties agree to collectively bargain separately proposed changes in the City's
Pension Plan that deal with mandatory subjects of collective bargaining and any
impact these changes may have on bargaining unit members; that employees
who have their EMT or Paramedic certification permanently revoked must seek an
alternative position or shall be subject to layoff; that the annual Personal
Resource Allowance granted to employees to cover the cost of purchasing and
laundering uniforms and attending to the required annual physical while off duty
be reduced from $1,000 to $440 per member; and that certain provisions for the
payment of overtime be limited to the requirements of the Fair Labor Standards
Act.
The cost for wages associated with the three-year agreement is anticipated to be
approximately $295,000 for Fiscal Year 2010/2011, $330,000 for Fiscal Year
2011/2012, and $325,000 for Fiscal Year 2012/2013. The difference in the first
year between the cost of the agreed upon 2.5% general wage increase and the
amount that was included in the approved Clearwater Fire and Rescue
Department budget to provide for Fiscal Year 2010/2011 IAFF merit step
increases is approximately $169,000, and it is expected that CFR will be able to
cover this cost increase through salary savings realized from positions that are
being attrited out and administrative positions left unfilled. The cost of the agreed
upon 2.5% general wage increase for Fiscal Year 2011/2012 is anticipated to be
offset by cost reductions achieved through the reduction of the Personal Resource
Allowance and a reduction in overtime costs realized through the modifications in
the manner which overtime is to be paid. The cost of the agreed upon resumption
of merit step advancement in Fiscal Year 2012/2013 will be included as part of the
budget preparation for that year.
5.2 Approve the provision of a one-time, lump sum cash remuneration in the amount
of$400 minus applicable withholding to each eligible bargaining unit member of
Communications Workers of America Local 3179 in accordance with the
Work Session 2011-07-18 8
agreement between the City and Union to resolve the wage re-opener for the
2010/2011 fiscal year at a total cost of$350,000. (consent)
The current collective bargaining agreement between the City of Clearwater and
CWA Local 3179 began on October 1, 2008 and expires on September 30, 2011.
The agreement provides that Article 9, Section 1 may be re-opened upon written
request of either party for the purpose of renegotiating rates of pay for the period
from October 1, 2010 through September 30, 2011. The parties agreed to meet
for such purpose and the parties reached a tentative agreement on June 20,
2010. The Union submitted the proposed agreement to its membership, which
ratified the agreement by a vote of 269 to 42 on June 29, 2010. This agreement
provides that all full time employees hired as a regular employee one year or
more (or with the equivalent number of service hours) prior to the date of City
Council approval shall receive a one-time, lump sum cash remuneration of$400,
minus applicable withholding, effective upon approval of the City Council, and
further that employees hired prior to October 1, 2010 who have served less than
one year (or the equivalent number of service hours) from the date of City Council
approval and part-time employees shall be eligible to receive a one-time, lump
sum cash remuneration of$400, minus applicable holding, upon the one-year
anniversary (or the equivalent number of service hours) of their respective hire
date as a regular employee or prior performance evaluation date. The agreement
also provides that pay range minimums and maximums for all classifications
represented by the bargaining unit will not be adjusted for the period from October
1, 2010 through September 30, 2011, and that employees will not be provided
with an individual merit pay adjustment or across-the-board general wage
adjustment for the period from October 1, 2010 through September 30, 2011.
The cost associated with the implementation of this agreement is anticipated to be
a total of$350,000, of which the general fund would be impacted by the amount of
$148,000 and the remaining amount of$159,600 impacting enterprise funds and
internal services funds. A pay increase for CWA employees was not included in
the approved budget for the 2010/2011 fiscal year, and the cost for this item will
be allocated from City reserves.
5.3 Approve the restated plan document pertaining to the Nationwide Retirement
Solutions 457 Governmental Plan and Trust Deferred Compensation Plan for
City employees and enable documents, including but not limited to administrative
agreements and participant loan program documents, adopt Resolution 11-17
and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same.
The City is currently contracted with Nationwide Retirement Solutions as one of
two providers for the City's 457 Deferred Compensation Plan, a voluntary
Work Session 2011-07-18 9
individual retirement account plan funded by plan participants with no
contributions from the City.
This Resolution and restated plan document pertaining to the Nationwide 457
Governmental Plan and Trust provides for updating of the plan provisions in order
for the Plan to continue to be considered an "eligible deferred compensation plan"
under Section 457(b) of the Internal Revenue Code and in accordance with
changes required by various legislation including final regulations issued under
Section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code; the Pension Protection Act (PPA); the
Heroes Earnings Assistance and Relief Tax (HEART) Act; The Worker, Retiree,
and Employer Recovery Act (WRERA); as well as changes recommended by
Nationwide to facilitate administration of the plan. Because the plan is funded
solely by the participants, there is no financial impact to the City resulting from
these changes. All changes to the plan document recommended by Nationwide
have been reviewed and approved by City staff and the City's benefits consultant
the Gehring Group. A detailed summary of the recommended changes are
available for review.
6. Parks and Recreation
6.1 Approve Host Venue Sponsorship Agreement (Agreement) between the City and
World Triathlon Corporation (WTC) to conduct an international distance triathlon
event in Clearwater, Florida, on the second Saturday in November beginning in
2011 for a period of one year with four (4) automatic one-year renewals until
2015 and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
For the past five years the City and WTC, better known as Ironman, partnered to
bring the World Championships for Ironman 70.3 to Clearwater, Florida. While
the event was extremely successful in Clearwater, WTC chose to move the
Championships to another venue.
WTC desires to offer a new international distance event in Clearwater known as
5150 Clearwater Triathlon, which includes a 1.5K swim, 40K bicycle and 1 OK run.
The race routes chosen for this event have far less impact than the previous
Ironman Events. WTC will conduct the 5150 Triathlon; provide a five-day event;
bring in 1,500 participants, media and VIPs requiring multiple overnight stays;
extensive local and national media coverage; and major sponsor benefits package
that include rights to use the 5150 and City logo in all marketing material. The
City will provide equipment and services to WTC to conduct the event including
items such as traffic operations staff, police officers for event, dumpsters, trash
cans, removal of litter, swim course set up, lifeguards and water safety personnel,
event security, parks and recreation event staff, medical coordination, EMS
coverage and SunStar transport units, etc.
Work Session 2011-07-18 10
Cost of the in-kind services estimated to be $61,720, was approved by the City
Council on March 17, 2011 as part of the annual review of City sponsored/co-
sponsored events for budget purposes.
The cost of this event is approximately $49,560 less than previous Ironman
events.
The City has the right to terminate the agreement by giving written notice to WTC
within thirty days of the conclusion of that year's event.
In response to questions, Parks and Recreation Director Kevin Dunbar said the event is
held on a Saturday; athletes are expected to come in early for registration and
exhibitors. The City Attorney said either party could terminate the agreement; the City
must terminate within 30 days of the existing event.
Concern was expressed that 30 days may be not be sufficient time to gather data
regarding event participation and economic impact. It was suggested the agreement be
amended to increase termination notice to 45 days. The City Attorney said WTC would
be contacted to confirm acceptance of amendment.
6.2 Award a contract to Voeller Construction of Palm Harbor, Florida, Bid 08-0064-
PR-(C), for the construction and renovation of restroom/concession building at
Pier 60 Park, which includes alternates 2, 3 and 4 and a 10% contingency;
approve a change order deduct for $900, for a net sum of$424,492.20; approve
the transfer of$225,000 from miscellaneous Parks and Recreation operating
funds to CIP 315-93273 at third quarter and authorize the appropriate officials to
execute same. (consent)
For the past 20 years, the City has provided public restrooms in five locations on
Clearwater Beach. Portalet type facilities are located in small wood framed
buildings at the far southern end of Beach Walk, near the Life Guard building, at
Pier 60 Park and Mandalay Park. In addition, there is a public restroom in the
concession building on south beach. These restrooms are heavily used and have
become difficult to maintain in a presentable fashion. A capital improvement
project was approved several years ago to repair or replace the existing 6-pack
type restrooms. To date, the City has constructed a new restroom facility at
Mandalay Park and renovated the existing 6-pack restroom at the far south of
Beach Walk. Renovations were needed since it is in a velocity zone and a new
structure would not be allowed in this area. This contract is to remodel and
expand the current restroom facility located at the Pier 60 Concession Building
and to renovate portions of the exterior of the building that have deteriorated and
Work Session 2011-07-18 11
in need of repair. The renovated structure will be expanded by 833 sq. ft. to
accommodate 9 commodes in the ladies restroom and 3 commodes and 3 urinals
in the men's room (Base Bid).
Alternates 2, 3, and 4 allow the contractor to repair deteriorated building facade,
bring electrical items up to code, repaint exterior of building, remove and replace
deteriorated handrails and wood decking and demolish the two existing 6-pack
restrooms located north of the Life Guard building and one located north of the
Pier 60 Pavilion. If these alternates are not done at this time then they will need
to be completed in the near future.
Alternate 1, which would provide storage for the existing ice machine and cold
storage units, will be constructed prior to spring break 2013.
Funding in the amount of$276.785.22 is currently available in capital project 315-
93273, Restrooms on Clearwater Beach for this contract. An additional $225,000
will be transferred from operating savings of the current Parks and Recreation
budget to fund the balance of this contract as well as additional funding needed to
construct Alternate 1 under a separate contract at a later date.
On December 16, 2010, City Council approved the Third Amendment to the
License Agreement between the City and Alexandra of Clearwater Beach, Inc,
adding five years to the term of their agreement in exchange for the maintenance
of these renovations to the public restrooms at Pier 60 Concessions.
This will provide an annual savings of$62,140 as is included in the 2012 Parks
and Recreation budget. During renovations, portable restrooms will be provided
to the public by the City but maintained by Alexandra.
Renovation of the restroom/concession building and Alternates 2, 3 and 4 will be
completed prior to spring break 2012.
7. Police
7.1 Approve submission of Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance
(DOJ/BJA) Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant application in the
amount of$74,412. (consent)
On July 6, 2010, Clearwater Police Department (CPD) was granted approval by
the City's Resource Management Committee to utilize a $74,412 allocation under
the federal Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) program to create a Report Review
Team Pilot Program.
Work Session 2011-07-18 12
Currently, the police department's report review process begins at the first line
supervisory level, with all offense, incident, supplement, and crash reports being
reviewed and approved at this level. Reports are then sent to Case Management,
where a second review is done for dissemination purposes. This practice has
worked well for many years, but as our supervisory span of control increases, the
sustainability of this practice has been brought into question.
The reduction of supervisory personnel within the department has created a
dramatic change in span of control ratios, particularly within the Patrol Division. In
some cases, patrol teams have a supervisor to officer ratio as high as 1:14. The
merging of teams and the consolidation of workloads has also placed an
additional burden on some of the supervisors. The impact of these changes has
had a negative effect on supervisory availability to field personnel, timely review of
reports, and supervisors' ability to ensure consistency in report quality.
Providing a quality report in a timely manner is of paramount importance to the
police department. Additionally, our reports are frequently subject to public,
political, and judicial scrutiny. The department currently relies on the first line
supervisory personnel to ensure quality control. A recent review of the supervisory
approval process uncovered inconsistencies in the process and differing opinions
on what constituted a quality report, as well as an acceptable error rate. At
present, patrol supervisors review approximately 45,000 reports per year.
Assuming each report required 15 minutes of supervisor time to review and
approve, this would equate to approximately 2-3 hours that a supervisor spends
each day reviewing reports. This recent review indicated a low report rejection
rate amongst the majority of field supervisors. This strongly suggests many of the
department's reports are not subject to rigorous review or scrutiny, that our current
practice of reviewing police reports may not be the most efficient use of
supervisory time, and that our current practice does not, in all cases, provide for a
consistent and quality work product.
The Report Review Team Pilot Program will be a means to increase supervisor
efficiency within the police department. The RRT Pilot Program will remove the
burden of report review from first line supervisors. Implementation of the RRT
Pilot Program will result in efficiencies for our field supervisors by allowing them to
focus on evaluation and supervision of field personnel, employee coaching,
community problem solving, and reaching other department goals. The smaller
review team will also allow for greater accountability and consistency in the final
work product.
The RRT Pilot Program will consist of four part-time, non-sworn employees and
will operate under the supervisory umbrella of the Crime Analysis Unit. The team
will review, approve, and disseminate all police reports generated within the Patrol
Division and by Police Service Technicians to ensure that the reports meet the

minimum standards set forth by the department. Additionally, the team will be
responsible for the tracking of reports to ensure a timely review and provide
feedback to patrol supervisors if corrective action is necessary.
The Police Department will need to hire three additional part-time employees to
supplement an existing part-time position within the Crime Analysis Unit.
The JAG grant will fund the salary and benefits of 1.75 full-time equivalent report
reviewer positions. This is based on a total of 70 hours per week to be shared
among three employees for a total of 3,640 hours annually.
Based on the Pay Plan and using an hourly wage of$18.99, salary costs are
estimated at $69,124, with benefit costs for social security at $5,290. The total
estimated cost is $74,414, which is $2 more than the grant award. Any difference
between the grant award and the actual expenditures of the RRT Pilot Program
will be funded from the Investigative Cost Recovery project.
There will be no direct adverse impact to the Police Department annual operating
budget nor is there a required match. Should the RRT Pilot Program be
successful, it is proposed that subsequent years be funded through the same
grant or the Investigative Cost Recovery project.
The Council recessed from 10:15 a.m. to 10:23 a.m.

8.1 Support the Florida Department of Environmental Protections (FDEP) petition to
rescind U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Numeric Nutrient Criteria (NNC)
in Florida and adopt Resolution 11-16.
On January 14, 2009, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
established a rule requiring exceptionally stringent limits on nitrogen and
phosphorous levels discharged to Florida surface water. These rules apply to the
State of Florida only and will significantly impact discharges of wastewater,
reclaimed water and stormwater by virtually all municipal governments and private
landholders in the state. The low concentration levels for nitrogen and
phosphorous required, in some cases, are well below the "background" discharge,
which occurs in stormwater runoff from undeveloped property.
On March 16, 2011, the EPA Office of Water released a memo titled "Working in
Partnership with the States to Address Phosphorous and Nitrogen Pollution
through Use of a Framework for State Nutrient Reductions" detailing eight
elements for effective state programs to manage nitrogen and phosphorous
pollution. The petition uses the eight elements in the memo to document the
Work Session 2011-07-18 14
strength of Florida's efforts to control nitrogen and phosphorous pollution,
including FDEP's pursuit of NNC.
In recognition of this state-wide problem and since the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection has an aggressive program in place, FDEP has filed a
petition requesting that EPA rescind the imposed NNC and provide a response by
May 22, 2011, on relieving Florida from this federal mandate.
On June 13, 2011, EPA responded that the agency "would not take action on the
State petition until it reviews the NNC adopted by Florida." By withdrawing the
2009 determination, EPA would once again allow Florida to regain its primary
responsibility for standard setting as envisioned by Congress in the Federal Clean
Water Act.
This Resolution supports the FDEP's petition to EPA to rescind numeric nutrient
criteria development in Florida at this time and to allow FDEP the primary rule-
making role. This resolution is Clearwater's first step in supporting the FDEP in a
request for relief. City staff, as well as other local municipalities, attended Public
Workshops held by the FDEP in June at Leesburg, Florida.
There are no costs associated with Resolution 11-16.
Public Utilities Director Tracy Mercer said FDEP will seek an extension to the NNC
deadlines should EPA approve the proposed standards.
A concern was expressed regarding sense of permanency of Item 3 in Section 1 of
proposed resolution. Ms. Mercer said the verbiage was taken from Florida League of
Cities' suggested resolution.
There was consensus to strike Item 3 in Section 1 of the proposed resolution.

officials to execute same. (consent)
Council awarded a construction contract on December 16, 2010 in the amount of
$1,197,157.50 to Reynolds Inliner, LLC, for the 2010 Stormwater Pipe Lining
Project (09-0054-EN). To date, 8,835 LF of cleaning, inspection and lining has
been ordered through this contract. Of that, the contractor has installed and
Work Session 2011-07-18 15
invoiced for nearly 5,000 LF. An additional 6,000 LF is scheduled to be inspected
via CCTV to determine the need for lining. Additional areas include pipes
between houses, Landmark Drive (resurfacing contract) and Wood Valley (traffic
calming project).
These existing pipes are deteriorating and near the end of their life cycle.
The goal is to maintain the integrity of the stormwater system and minimize
disruptions to our citizens and vehicular traffic by using the Resin Impregnated
Cured in Place Pipe (RICIPP) slip lining method.The City of Clearwater
Engineering Department will direct the contractor to high priority pipe systems as
established by review of inspection reports and maintenance records with a focus
on corrugated metal pipes within easements between houses.
The contract also allows for emergency repair work to be performed at the unit
prices included in the contract.
Change Order 1 in the amount of$1,088,325.00 is for additional cleaning, video
inspection, and installation of resin impregnated cured in place pipe (RICIPP)
lining at various locations throughout the City of Clearwater using the established
unit prices from the Original Contract . A third quarter amendment will transfer
$1,088,325.00 from Capital Improvement Program project 0315-96168,

the same neighborhood, Bermuda Street has poor drainage. Both of these roads
are within the project area for the Idlewild/The Mall sanitary sewer system design.
Work Session 2011-07-18 16
By combining the storm sewer project with the sanitary sewer project, disruption
to the neighborhood's residents and construction and restoration costs may be
reduced.
This Work Order is to provide survey, preliminary engineering, design and
permitting beyond the scope of services described in the original Work Order for
the improvements of the storm sewer system in these two areas.
The existing storm sewers are currently maintained by Public Services.
Construction of the new storm sewers will not increase maintenance costs.
Sufficient budget and revenue is available in Capital Improvement Program
project 0315-96169, Stevenson Creek to fund the work order.

These four clarifiers were built in 1975 and are the oldest of the fourteen (14)
clarifiers in the City. The clarifier internal components and structural steel have
corroded and are in need of replacement. The clarifiers at the Marshall Street and
East WRFs will be rehabilitated over the next two years. RTD is the low bidder by
approximately 0.5% and is 17% less than the final Engineer's estimate. The City
received eight bids for the project ranging from $1.419 to $1.570 million with the
average being $1.468 million. King Engineering Associates, Inc. was the design
consultant for this project and will provide CEI services upon approval of the work
order. King Engineering has reviewed RTD's bid and has provided a
recommendation of award. The construction phase is anticipated to take nine
months and is scheduled for completion by July 31, 2012. The project includes
$507,230 (35% of project total) worth of Owner Direct Purchased equipment
resulting in a tax savings valued at $31,090. The City of Safety Harbor will
reimburse the City for approximately 29% of the project costs.

Joseph J. Eldridges subdivision.
The subject Block E is a triangular parcel of land extending approximately 345
feet north from Cedar Street between the Pinellas Trail and North Myrtle Avenue.
The parcel of land described in the subject Quit-Claim Deed was conveyed to the
City in February 1983 by Quit- Deed executed by the Koch Foundation, Inc. as
recorded in O. R. Book 5493, Page 43, Pinellas County public records.
On August 31, 1987, the City executed a Quit-Claim Deed in favor of Tom
Sehlhorst conveying a specified portion of Block E other than the subject parcel
"...and any other rights to Block E which Grantor may own." That deed is recorded
in O. R. Book 6573, Page 1895, Pinellas County public records.
Legal counsel for the plaintiff in the subject foreclosure requests the City more
specifically convey the lands deeded to it by the Koch Foundation to assure
absolute clarity in the chain of title in and to the lands in the foreclosure action.
9.8 Provide direction regarding implementing a Red Light Camera Safety Program.
A Request for Proposals was released on April 14, 2011 with a due date for
submittals of May 30, 2011.
Five submittals were received and the five were shortlisted to three.
Work Session 2011-07-18 20
Oral Presentations were held on June 29, 2011 with Lt. David Dalton, Rob Surette
and Paul Bertels as evaluators with George McKibben as monitor. The
evaluations resulted in the following rankings:
1. Redflex Inc.
2. American Traffic Solutions (ATS)
3. Gatso
The recommended vendor (Redflex) is to provide eight cameras at two
intersections; Belcher Road and Gulf to Bay Boulevard; and Belcher Road at
Sunset Point Road. The vendor is to keep the cost to the city neutral, meaning
that ticket revenue will offset the monthly fees. Terms of deployment are a
minimum of two years after a six-month test deployment to determine
effectiveness.
Staff recommendation is not to proceed at this time with a Red Light Camera
Safety Program due to the uncertain regulatory environment that currently exists
in Florida, which is causing undue workload issues as well as confusion as to the
effectiveness of red light cameras.
In response to a question, Traffic Operations Manager Paul Bertels said the amber light
time lapse have been extended to the allowed maximum time. Further extensions
would require changing state law.

mediated settlement agreement.
Work Session 2011-07-18 22
A third quarter budget amendment will provide the allocation of$668,000.00 of
General Fund reserves to fund the settlement payment to the Legal Department
operating budget. After adjusting for this amendment, General Fund reserves
will be approximately $18.2 million, or 16.3% of the General Fund budget,
exceeding the 8.5% reserve policy by approximately $8.7 million.
11.2 Request for authority to institute a civil action on behalf of the City against R and
R Companies, Inc., to recover $3,529.51 for damages to City property. (consent)
On October 30, 2009, employees of R and R Companies, Inc., were performing
excavation work in the vicinity of the intersection of Casey Jones Court and
Wetherington, Clearwater, Florida, and punctured a Clearwater Gas 2-inch main
gas line.
Subsequent to the above-referenced incident, the City's Risk Department sent
numerous letters to R and R Companies, requesting $780.17 to reimburse the
City for the necessary repairs and lost gas from the puncture of the gas line. R
and R Companies denies that it is liable for the gas line puncture.
On November 14, 2009, employees of R and R Companies, Inc., were
performing additional excavation work in the vicinity of the intersection of Casey
Jones Court and Wetherington, Clearwater, Florida, and once again punctured a
Clearwater Gas 2-inch main gas line.
Subsequent to the above-referenced incident, the City's Risk Department sent
numerous letters to R and R Companies, requesting $943.04 to reimburse the
City for the necessary repairs and lost gas from the puncture of the gas line. R
and R Companies denies that it is liable for the gas line puncture.
On March 10, 2010, employees of R and R companies, Inc., were performing
excavation work in the vicinity of the intersection of 2955 and 2937 Hillcrest
Circle South, Clearwater, Florida, and damaged the City's sanitary sewer lines at
those two addresses.
Subsequent to the above-referenced incident, the City's Risk Department sent
numerous letters to R and R Companies, requesting $1,806.30 to reimburse the
City for the necessary repairs to the damaged sewer lines. R and R Companies
has not responded to any of the City's letters.
Work Session 2011-07-18 23
The Legal Department requests authority to bring a legal action against R and R
Companies, Inc., to recover the moneys owed to the City, which totals
$3,529.51 for the aforesaid property damages.
The costs relative to this action will include a $300.00 filing fee and fees for
service of process of approximately $200.00.
11.3 Change the date of the City's elections to coincide with the state and county
elections and pass Ordinance 8274-11 on first reading.
Florida Statutes Section 166.021(4) permits municipalities to change election
dates, qualifying periods for candidates, and for the changes in term of office
necessitated by such changes in election dates by ordinance without approval at
referendum.
Statistics indicate that there is much higher voter participation in statewide and
countywide elections than in primary elections. It is also more cost-effective to
hold municipal elections in conjunction with state, county and federal elections.
Therefore, it is in the best interest of the City of Clearwater to move their election
dates as so allowed to increase voter participation and save the cost of a
separate municipal election.
Discussion ensued with concerns expressed regarding voter participation in a
November election and perception of extending council terms.
Staff was directed to provide information if Pinellas County Supervisor of Elections is
able to support a municipal election after a presidential preference primary.
11.4 Adopt Ordinance 8261-11 on second reading, annexing certain real property
whose post office address is 345 and 347 Elizabeth Avenue, together with
abutting right-of-way, into the corporate limits of the city and redefining the
boundary lines of the city to include said addition.
11.5 Adopt Ordinance 8262-11 on second reading, amending the future land use plan
element of the Comprehensive Plan of the city to designate the land use for
certain real property whose post office address is 345 and 347 Elizabeth
Avenue, together with abutting right-of-way, upon annexation into the City of
Clearwater, as Residential Urban (RU).
