Also Present: William B. Horne II - City Manager, Jill S. Silverboard - Assistant City
Manager, Rod Irwin - Assistant City Manager, Pamela K. Akin - City
Attorney, Rosemarie Call - City Clerk, Nicole Sprague - Official Records
and Legislative Services Coordinator
To provide continuity for research, items are in agenda order although not
necessarily discussed in that order.
Mayor George N. Cretekos called the meeting to order at 9:00 a.m. at City Hall.
1. Financial Services
1.1 Declare the list of vehicles and equipment surplus to the needs of the City:
authorize disposal through sale to the highest bidder at the Tampa Machinery
Auction, Tampa, Florida, and/or Manheim Auction, Clearwater, Florida; and
authorize the appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
All vehicles and equipment have been replaced as necessary, or are no longer
required.
Tampa Machinery Auction is the Tampa Bay Purchasing Cooperative Auctioneer
of Record. Tampa Machinery Auction holds a live auction monthly and accepts
internet bids at the time of the live auction. Manheim Auction is a national
auctioneer that is located in Pinellas County that sells vehicles and equipment
both at a live auction and nationwide through the internet. This will be a test of the
service of Manheim Auction to test the returns in comparison to Tampa Machinery
Auction. Transportation costs will be greatly reduced due to the location.
2. Gas System
2.1 Approve an increase of$1,766,077 in the Clearwater Gas System Fiscal Year
Council 2/27/2012 1
2011/2012 Dividend to the City General Fund; allocate $200,000 of this back to
the Clearwater Gas System for investment in the Clearwater Neighborhoods
Expansion Program to provide gas mains and services to Clearwater citizens;
and allocate an additional $200,000 of this back to the Clearwater Gas System
to speed the payoff of the Clearwater Natural Gas Vehicle Fueling Station.
consent
Clearwater Gas System (CGS) budgeted to pay a Fiscal Year 2011/2012
Dividend of$1,700,000 to the City General Fund. Based on City Council policy,
the Gas System each year returns '/2 of its annual Net Income less debt service
interest as a Dividend to the City in the following year. CGS's financial
performance for Fiscal Year 2010/2011 exceeded our budget forecasts; therefore,
CGS will pay an increase in the Fiscal Year 2011/2012 Dividend of$1,766,077,
based on financial performance.
Also, as it has been Council direction in the past several years to re-direct a
portion of the CGS excess Dividend payments, when this is available, back to the
CGS to accomplish the Clearwater Neighborhoods Expansion Program
(CNEP). As of December 31, 2011, the City has invested $1,357,845 in this
program to provide gas mains and services into Countryside, Coachman Ridge,
and a number of up to 300 foot extensions throughout the City amounting to 12.4
miles of gas main and servicing 69 citizen accounts. During the 5 years of this
CNEP Program, we have actually expended $784,310 (57.8% of the allocated
funding) and have $573,535 (42.2% of the allocated funding) remaining available
to invest in new gas mains and services. The last CNEP funding was $100,000 in
January 2010. We are recommending that the City Council allocate $200,000 of
the added CGS Dividend payment back to CGS to add to the CNEP funding and
perpetuate this program to benefit our citizens by making clean and economical
natural gas available to their homes.
Finally, Clearwater Gas has invested approximately $2.0 Million in the
construction of the new Clearwater Natural Gas Vehicle (NGV) Filling Station. Of
this, we are expecting a $450,000 reimbursement from the State Energy Office,
and we have recovered $540,733 in Energy Conservation Adjustments from our
customers to fund this. We are recommending that the City Council allocate
another$200,000 of the added CGS Dividend payment back to CGS to accelerate
the recovery of the NGV Filling Station capital costs, which will ultimately reduce
the cost of this NGV fuel for our City Fleet as well as our customers.
Therefore, after these 2 recommended allocations of$400,000 in total, there
would still remain a net of$1,366,077 in increased funding to the City's General
Fund reserve.
A first quarter budget amendment will reflect the transfer of$1,766,077 from the
Clearwater Gas System to the General Fund to reflect the increased dividend
Council 2/27/2012 2
payment from the Clearwater Gas System to the City's General Fund. In addition,
if approved, first quarter budget amendments will reflect the transfer of$400,000
of General Fund revenues from the General Fund Non-Departmental program
with $200,000 transferred to capital project 315-96385, Gas Main Extensions, and
$200,000 transferred to capital project 315-96387, Natural Gas Vehicles.
In response to a question, Clearwater Gas System Managing Director Chuck
Warrington said individuals interested in obtaining natural gas residential service should
contact the sales office. Savings realized through converting the city's fleet to CNG will
increase the transfer to the General Fund.
2.2 Award a contract (purchase order) to Elster American Meter in the amount of
$453,000.00 for gas meters and regulators from April 1, 2012 through March 31,
2013 and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
Elster American Meter was awarded a contract last year as the lowest, most
responsive, and responsible bidder who met the specifications for Bid 10-11. This
is the first rollover of that contract, as they have agreed in writing to extend current
pricing and terms for another year.
The meters purchased will be used for new customers as well as replacing exiting
meters that have reached the end of their useful life.
Material is code approved, and the meters and regulators will be used on the
Clearwater Gas System distribution system.
Funding is available in Gas Meter Change-out Pinellas 315-96367 and Gas Meter
Change-out Pasco 315-96379 in the Clearwater Gas System budget.
2.3 Award a contract (purchase order) to General Utilities Pipe and Supply in the
amount of$417,000.00 for gas polyethylene pipe and fittings from April 1, 2012

3. Human Resources
3.1 Authorize the increase of Blanket Purchase Order BR507907 awarded by the
City's Purchasing Manager from $50,000 to $175,000 in accordance with the
contract between the City and MHNet of Florida for employee and retiree
Employee Assistance Program and Mental Health/Chemical Dependencv
benefits for the period from January 1, 2012, to December 31, 2012 and extend
the award through December 31, 2015 in the amount not to exceed $200,000
Per year for the payment of associated premiums. (consent)
Council 2/27/2012 4
The City renewed its agreement with MHNet of Florida for Employee Assistance
Program and Mental Health/Chemical Dependency benefits in 2011. The
agreement was for a term of one-year, after which the agreement renews
automatically for subsequent one-year periods.
This request is to increase Purchase Order BR507907 awarded by the City's
Purchasing Manager from $50,000 to $175,000 for the period from January 1,
2012 through December 31, 2012, and to extend the award of a Purchase Order
for an additional three-year period through December 31, 2015 at a cost not to
exceed $200,000 per year for the payment of associated EAP and MHCD
premiums. Consistent with the provisions for a Blanket Purchase Order, funds
pertaining to this request will not be encumbered until they are used. Funds for
EAP services have already been approved through the normal budget process
and no additional funds are required.
In response to a question, Human Resources Director Joe Roseto said staff anticipates
the annual budget will remain at $175, 000 next year; any increases would be included
in the budget process.
3.2 Approve the agreement reached by the City with International Association of
Firefighters Local 1158 for proposed changes to the City Employees Pension
Plan and authorize the development of an actuarial impact statement by the
City's actuary and subsequent submittal to the Florida State Division of
Retirements for review of same. (consent)
Changes to the current City Employees' Pension Plan benefit provisions are being
sought by the City due to significant increases in the City's required pension
contribution levels from fiscal year 2000 to present. During that period of time, the
City's actuarially determined required contribution has increased from seven
percent of covered payroll (approximately four million dollars) to almost twenty-
five percent of covered payroll (approximately eighteen million dollars). These
costs are projected by the City's actuary to continue to increase during the next
five years. The City has already reached agreement on changes to the Pension
Plan with the Fraternal Order of Police bargaining unit and with Communications
Workers of America Local 3179. The City reached a tentative agreement with
International Association of Firefighters Local 1158 on these same changes and
the agreement was ratified by the membership on February 17, 2012 as part of a
package deal that included a new three-year contract for the bargaining unit.
The agreements by the parties, if ultimately approved by voter referendum, would
result in changes to the following City Employees' Pension Plan provisions:
Council 2/27/2012 5
For sworn IAFF employees not eligible to retire as of the effective date:
The employee pension contribution would be increased from 8% to 10% of salary.
Any overtime exceeding 300 hours per year accrued for years of service after the
effective date of the change would not be included in pensionable earnings. There
would be no Cost-of-Living Adjustment for all pensionable earnings after the
effective date of the change.
For all IAFF employees: Employees could choose to receive 10%, 20%, or 30% of
their total pension benefit in a one-time lump sum payment directly upon
retirement. Employees would be permitted to return to full-time employment with
the City in a different job classification and would participate in Social Security
while receiving their pension benefit. Employees would be able to name a
beneficiary and choose their benefit payment option at any time up to retirement.
These changes along with those already approved for other employees, if
approved, are expected to result in an immediate annual reduction of the City's
Pension contribution of $4.9 million, and a savings over the next 30 years of
approximately $400 million.
3.3 Approve the collective bargaining agreement as negotiated between the City of
Clearwater and the International Association of Firefighters for Fiscal Years
2012/13, 2013/14, and 2014/15 and authorize the appropriate officials to execute
same. (consent)
The current collective bargaining agreement between the City of Clearwater and
the International Association of Firefighters Local 1158 bargaining unit will expire
on September 30, 2013. City management staff and union representatives have
had ongoing discussions regarding a new collective bargaining agreement in
conjunction with negotiations over proposed changes to the City Pension Plan.
The parties reached a tentative agreement for a new contract as part of a
package deal that included the proposed Pension Plan changes. The bargaining
agreement and proposed Pension Plan changes were subsequently submitted by
the Union to its bargaining unit, which ratified the agreement on February 17,
2012. The agreement results in the voiding of the last year of the current contract
and a new three-year contract which will commence on October 1 st 2012 and run
through September 30, 2015. The agreement provides for no general wage
increase but allowing instead for merit step increase advancement only in the first
year and in the third year, and providing for a 2.5% across-the-board general
wage increase with no step advancement in the second year. There are no other
significant changes to the existing contract language. Costs will be included in the
proposed budgets for each year of the agreement. The costs associated with the
implementation of this agreement are anticipated to be approximately as follows:
Fiscal Year 2012/2013 (Steps only): $162,000 Fiscal Year 2013/2014 (GWI
Council 2/27/2012 6
only): $248,000Fiscal Year 2014/2015 (Steps only): $166,000 TOTAL:
$576,000
Staff was directed to provide Council a bulleted summary of the pension changes for
each bargaining unit.
4. Parks and Recreation
4.1 Approve increasing a blanket purchase order to Mid Pinellas Umpire Assoc. (BR
507726) from $50,000 to $200,000 for providing umpiring and scorekeeper
services for recreation leagues and tournaments held in Clearwater through
December 31, 2012 according to Bid 05-12 and authorize the appropriate
officials to execute same. (consent)
As part of a cost reduction measure, the Parks and Recreation Department began
to contract out umpiring and scorekeeper services. Prior to this City staff was
responsible to train, hire, schedule and supply umpires and scorekeepers for all
softball games held in Clearwater. Bids were solicited for a period of one year
and a BPO was issued for $50,000 to handle the City leagues. Unfortunately,
this amount is not enough to cover additional commitments and costs associated
with tournaments held in Clearwater that need umpiring and scorekeeper
services. The USF Series of tournaments will require over$55,000 of umpiring
services. Therefore, staff is requesting the increase needed in order to
accommodate this tournament and others to be held in Clearwater prior to
December 31, 2012. This will provide funding for the estimated 2,333 games to be
played prior to the end of the year. The costs for these services are paid for by
user fees that are charged to the teams. Revenues therefore offset the costs
associated with this BPO.
In response to questions, Parks and recreation Director Kevin Dunbar said the fees
charged for the adult softball leagues and collegiate events cover the operating costs.
During the next few weeks, 40% of the Division 1 College Softball Programs will be
coming to Clearwater in preparation of the college season.
4.2 Approve Agreement between the School Board of Pinellas County and the City
of Clearwater through August 23, 2013 for the City to utilize Pinellas County
School buses, at a cost of$1.25 per mile plus $26.50 per hour, for a total
estimated cost of$50,000 and authorize the appropriate officials to execute
same. (consent)
Council 2/27/2012 7
The Parks and Recreation Department organizes field trips requiring bus
transportation for participants.
The Pinellas County School System (PCSS) allows municipalities to utilize their
fleet of buses and drivers for$1.25 per mile plus $26.50 per hour for driver with a
four-hour booking minimum.
During the summer of 2012, the department will organize approximately 130 field
trips that could utilize school bus transportation. Comparing a sampling cost of
school buses for these trips against the use of private bus lines indicates school
buses are a less costly mode of transportation, in most cases. During the past
year the department utilized the school buses for our field trips at a cost of
$25,000, with the per mile and per hour charge the same as proposed in this
agreement. Approval of this Agreement will provide staff with a larger number of
options when determining the most cost effective source of transportation for
participants. The attached Agreement is similar to Agreements between the
Pinellas County School Board and other Pinellas County municipalities that utilize
school bus transportation. The Recreation Programming Division's Operating
Budget contains sufficient funds to cover the costs associated with this
Agreement.
5. Police
5.1 Approve the appointment of Jeffrey DiVincent to the Board of Trustees,
Clearwater Police Supplementary Pension Plan, with term ending February 1,
2016. (consent)
In keeping with the provision of Florida Statute 185.05, which states in part, "The
fifth member shall be chosen by a majority of the previous four members, and
such person's name shall be submitted to the legislative body of the municipality.
Upon receipt of the fifth person's name, the legislative body shall, as a ministerial
duty, appoint such person to the board of trustees as its fifth member..."
At a meeting of the Board of Trustees held on December 9, 2011, Jeffrey
DiVincent agreed to serve a full four-year term as Trustee. Mr. DiVincent is a
Clearwater police officer with over 17 years experience and has agreed to serve
for the term February 1, 2012 through February 1, 2016.
6. Solid Waste/General Support Services
6.1 Approve a Contract (Blanket Purchase Order) to Wingfoot Commercial Tire of
Clearwater, FL, for an amount not to exceed $380,000, for the purchase of
Goodyear tires for city motorized equipment during the period March 1, 2012
through February 28, 2013, in accordance with Sec. 2.560)(d), Code of
Ordinances - other governmental bid, and authorize the appropriate officials to
Council 2/27/2012 8
execute same. (consent)
This Blanket Purchase Order is a piggyback of the Florida State Contract 863-
000-10-1 and covers the purchase of several different sizes of tires for use on all
City vehicles.
7. Engineering
7.1 Approve the purchase contract for the purchase of real property at 1315 N. Betty
Lane, Clearwater with a purchase price of$60,000 and total expenditures not to
exceed $60,500 including closing costs; and authorize the appropriate officials to
execute same, together with all other instruments required to affect closing.
consent
The property is situated in a strategic location along Stevenson's Creek adjacent
to a small City-owned park and sanitary lift station on the Creek's bank. It is
located at the convergence point of Stevenson's Creek and Spring Branch of
Stevenson's Creek where a build-up of sediment occurs at a faster rate than at
other locations along the Creek. These conditions create the need for periodic
dredging to maintain stormwater flows. Currently the City has no access rights to
this portion of the Creek to perform its maintenance obligations. The City's
dredging activities have been infrequent as staff is reliant on acquiring temporary
rights of access from private property owners. Costs for such temporary access
rights and prices to acquire permanent easement rights have historically been
high. This portion of the waterway is currently in need of maintenance dredging.
Sufficient budget and revenue is available in Capital Improvement Program
project 0315-96168, Storm System Expansion to fund the Property purchase and
miscellaneous closing costs.
In response to questions, Environmental Manager Ed Chesney said the park designated
on the map is a passive park with no structures or facilities. There is a two-story
structure on the lot being acquired and being declared unsafe by the City. Mr. Chesney
said the site may be a good location for a kayak/canoe launch; staff is considering
possibility. The purchase price does not include demolition costs, which is expected to
be approximately $20,000.
Council 2/27/2012 9

WSO)
Staff was directed to proceed with planning the event, to be held after April 15, 2012. It

9. Legal
Council 2/27/2012 10
9.1 Adopt Ordinance 8312-12 on second reading, amending the Community
Development Code adding schools as an allowable use within the Commercial
(C) District.
9.2 Adopt Ordinance 8311-12 on second reading, amending the Clearwater
Comprehensive Plan to add charter schools to the definition of public
educational facilities and to allow public educational facilities in three additional
land use categories.
9.3 Approve amendments to the Code of Ordinances regulating pedicabs and low
speed vehicles for hire, and pass Ordinance 8314-12 on first reading.
An increasing number of businesses have begun operating within the City of
Clearwater, thus far solely on Clearwater Beach, whereby the businesses are
providing public transportation on pedicabs (vehicles propelled solely by human
power) and on low-speed, golf-cart type vehicles or are renting a variety of
recreational vehicles, such as low-powered motorcycles, electric personal
assistive mobility devices, surrey bicycles, and mopeds. However, minimal
regulations currently exist to ensure that the businesses are adequately insured,
that the businesses are maintaining the vehicles in safe-operating condition, and
that the drivers of the pedicabs and low speed for hire vehicles are not likely to be
a danger to the public. Regulations will promote the health, safety, and welfare of
the public by placing an obligation on the business owners to obtain adequate
insurance in case of an accident, to maintain the vehicles used in the business in
a safe-operating condition, and to ensure that the drivers in their employ are not
likely to be a danger to the public; and regulation of this activity will promote the
health, safety, and welfare of the public by creating a regulatory mechanism by
which the owners of the business and the drivers in their employ could have their
ability to conduct business within the City of Clearwater revoked if the business
owners or their drivers fail to adhere to the Florida Statutes and City ordinances
pertaining to the operation of the business or the operation of the pedicabs or low-
speed for hire vehicles.
The Council recessed from 10:19 a.m. to 10:25 a.m.
Assistant City Attorney Rob Surette reviewed changes made since the last council
meeting: Sec. 25.02(1) and (2) was amended to require any fares charged by the
drivers of pedicabs and low-speed vehicles to be conspicuously posted in or on the
pedicab or low-speed for hire vehicle; Sec. 25.02(3) was amended to prohibit drivers of
Council 2/27/2012 11
surrey bicycles from driving in the roundabout on Clearwater Beach; and Sec. 25.14(11)
was amended to prohibit drivers of pedicabs and low-speed for hire vehicles from
obstructing vehicular traffic while picking up or unloading passengers.
In response to questions, Mr. Surette said surrey bikes may lawfully, under Florida
Statutes, operate on the sidewalk and roadway. PSTA buses can lawfully stop at
designated bus stops; drivers must yield to the buses. A Segway is considered an
electric personal assistance mobility device and is not allowed on the roadway.
The City Attorney said the effective date of the ordinance will be based on second
reading; Council may provide a 30-day grace period. It was suggested that the
ordinance be effective on a Monday.
In response to questions, Mr. Surette said the commercial use of pedicabs may be
regulated; the regulation does not need to be citywide. Mr. Surette said there is not a
limit to the number vehicles operating under one BTR. The City Attorney said a pedicab
and recreational vehicle describe the use, while surrey describes the design and type.
Council can regulate where pedicabs can operate based on safety.
10. City Manager Verbal Reports — None.
11. Council Discussion Items

11.2 Pinellas County Family Court Consolidation - Mayor Cretekos
Mayor George Cretekos said Pinellas County is consolidating the family law division to
the 49 Street Criminal Justice Center Complex and expressed concerns regarding the
tremendous economic impact to downtown Clearwater.
The City Attorney said the Clearwater and St. Petersburg Bar Associations have not
taken a position yet but are looking at the impact on the proposed changes. The
Pinellas County Commission will be discussing the matter on February 28, 2012.
Pinellas County expanded the boundary of the county seat to include the area where
Council 2/27/2012 12
the Pinellas County Sheriff's office is located. Clearwater will remain the county seat
until Pinellas County takes steps to change that.
It was requested that staff provide a copy of the county consolidation report.
11.3 Spay/Neuter Animals - Mayor Cretekos
The City Attorney said many individuals have expressed an interest to the Mayor that
the City require animals be spayed/neutered to the Mayor. Pinellas County has control,
by charter, of animal control. An ordinance requiring animals to be spayed/neutered
should be drafted by the County.
11.4 Work Session Start Times - Councilmember Polglaze
