3.1 Approve the Fiscal Year 2012-2013 Community Redevelopment Aqency
Preliminary Budget and adopt Resolution 12-02.
The major highlights of the Fiscal Year 2012-2013 proposed preliminary budget
are as follows:
CRA 2012-09-0�4
Item # 1
_
Attachment number 1 \nPage 2
Tax Increment revenues decreased by $ 492,957 due largely to the elimination of
the $ 417,432 Fiscal Year 2011-2012 revenue from the sale of environmental tax
credits. It also reflects a decrease in Taxable Value of 1.24% in the old Downtown
CRA (Downtown) and a 9.63% decrease in the expanded CRA area (East
Gateway).
Operating expenditures are decreased by $ 21,011, or 4%, largely due to the
decrease in pass through funds for the DDB as a result of the lower assessed
values and an assessment of Fiscal Year 2011-2012 operating budget
expenditures. $ 75,000 has been included in the budget to fund the Blast Friday
Memorandum of Agreement and $148,000 for the interim Capital Theatre support
agreement.
Transfers Out to various projects are as designated in the CRA Six Year Plan.
The Proposed Fiscal Year 2012-2013 Agency budget is consistent with the Six
Year Plan. �
Trustee Doreen Hock-DiPolito moved to approve the Fiscal Year 2012-2013 Community
Redevelopment Agency Preliminary Budget. The motion was duly seconded and
carried unanimously.
Resolution 12-02 was presented and read by title only. Trustee Jay Polglaze moved to
adopt Resolution 12-02. The motion was duly seconded and upon roll call, the vote
was:
"Ayes": Chair George N. Cretekos, Trustee Paul Gibson, Trustee Doreen Hock-
DiPolito, Trustee Bill Jonson, and Trustee Jay E. Polglaze.
"Nays": None.
3.2 Approve the Interlocal Agreement with the Downtown Development Board (DDB�
to provide personnel, administrative and management services during Fiscal
Year 2012-2013 in the amount of $63,724 and refund the CRA tax increment fee
of $136,709 and authorize the aparoariate officials to execute same.
Florida Statutes 163.387 requires all taxing authorities, which includes the DDB,
to make an annual appropriation in an amount equal to the incremental increase
in the ad valorem revenue within the CRA area. The DDB's increment payment is
$136,709 according to the Pinellas County Property Appraiser's office. In a spirit
of cooperation to further the downtown redevelopment plan, the CRA Trustees
CRA 2012-09-04 2
Item # 1
Attachment number 1 \nPage 3
executed the first Interlocal Agreement in Fiscal Year 1999-2000 to provide
personnel, administrative and management services to the DDB and to refund the
difference between the increment payment and the management fee. This is the
twelfth fiscal year that the CRA would enter into the agreement. Pursuant to
Florida Statute 163.01, the CRA and DDB can enter into an agreement in which
the DDB agrees to perForm certain responsibilities and functions including funding
projects and programs consistent with the downtown redevelopment plan. The
intent of this agreement is for the DDB and the CRA to work collaboratively on
projects and programs that further downtown goals and objectives. The
management of the DDB by CRA staff enables the CRA and the DDB to utilize the
public dollars more efficiently. The agreement also outlines the DDB's
commitment to financially support the construction, operation and maintenance of
the boat slips, docks, boardwalk, promenade and related facilities that were
constructed on the Downtown Waterfront. The DDB has made yearly contributions
of $50,000 since April 2007.
Due to the economy, the City determined that it was not in the best interest of the �
City and the taxpayers to borrow funds for construction of the boat slips. Instead,
the City paid for the majority of the construction costs from City reserves. Any of
the annual DDB contribution not needed for operations of the boat slips will be
used to reimburse the City for the cost of construction. The intent of the DDB is to
contribute up to $50,000 a year for 10 years for a total not to exceed $500,000.
The DDB shall pay the CRA $63,724 for the services agreed to in the Interlocal
Agreement. The DDB approved the Interlocal Agreement at their meeting on
August 1, 2012.
Trustee Paul Gibson moved to approve the Interlocal Agreement with the Downtown
Development Board (DDB) to provide personnel, administrative and management
services during Fiscal Year 2012-2013 in the amount of $63,724 and refund the CRA
tax increment fee of $136,709 and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same.
The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously.
3.3 Approve an Interlocal Agreement between the CRA and the City of Clearwater to
provide CRA funding in Fiscal Year 2012/2013 in the amount of $149,043.67 to
underwrite the cost of additional Community Policing Services by the Clearwater
Police Department in the East Gateway CRA District, pursuant to the East
Gateway Five-Year Action Program and authorize the appropriate officials to
execute same.
The CRA approved the East Gateway District Five-Year Action Program on May
13, 2008. The Action Program responded to public input on the issues of drug

dealing, prostitution and street crime by including an action item for increased
police presence and crime reduction within the East Gateway District.
An allowable funding source of this action item is the use of CRA Tax Increment
Financing (TIF) funds. Florida Statues allows for the use of TIF funds for
community policing innovations in Community Redevelopment Areas.
The CRA and Clearwater Police Department have reached an agreement on a
proposed scope of services and terms as delineated in the Interlocal Agreement.
Included in the scope is the delineation of specific, measurable crime reduction
targets by which to monitor the success of the initiative as well as providing clear
language required by statute assuring that the resources are applied to the
CRA/East Gateway area.
Funding will be from the CRA East Gateway Project account (388-94849).
CRA Executive Director Rod Irwin said Community Policing Services is an operating �
expenditure allowance under Florida Statutes, Chapter 163, as long as services are
expended within the CRA area. Economic Development and Housing Director Geri
Campos Lopez said the CRA will fund two officers.
Trustee Doreen Hock-DiPolito moved to approve an Interlocal Agreement between the
CRA and the City of Clearwater to provide CRA funding in Fiscal Year 2012/2013 in the
amount of $149,043.67 to underwrite the cost of additional Community Policing
Services by the Clearwater Police Department in the East Gateway CRA District,
pursuant to the East Gateway Five-Year Action Program and authorize the appropriate
officials to execute same. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously.
3.4 Approve relocation build out assistance loan-to-grant for Blue Dahlia
Marketplace, in conjunction with their desire to move from the 409 Cleveland
Street buildinq, as a result of the City acquisition of said premises for the Capi1
Theatre use, to 410 Cleveland Street and authorize the appropriate officials to
execute same.
The Blue Dahlia Marketplace is being displaced from their current location as a
result of the incorporation of the 409 Cleveland Street building into the Capital
Theatre. The owner has entered discussions with CRA staff concerning a retail
assistance grant to underwrite the build out cost of 1000 sq. ft. +/- in the 410
Cleveland Street building, in exchange for a lease rate from the landlord
consistent with her ability to pay. Build out assistance is estimated to be $ 25,000.
The landlord and tenant have agreed to a lease term of at least five (5) years to
assure a continued retail presence.
CRA 2012-09-04 4
Item # 1
Attachment number 1 \nPage 5
CRA staff support the request, as Blue Dahlia Marketplace has been a pioneer
retail establishment in the Cleveland Street District redevelopment strategy, and
its continued operation in the Cleveland Street district is facilitative of the
redevelopment strategy of the CRA. However, due to current economic
conditions, the business is unable to meet commercial lease rates and CRA build
out assistance will allow a lease rate supportable for the five-year term.
The premises to be occupied by the Blue Dahlia is a carve-out from the space to
be renovated for the Clearwater Regional Chamber of Commerce, and the
contractor is willing to phase and build out the Blue Dahlia space to facilitate
occupancy on, or before, November I, 2012 as requested by Ruth Eckerd Hall.
Staff seeks CRA Board approval for the contractor to undertake build out for the
Blue Dahlia space, and to reimburse the contractor for approved work completed,
due to the unusual circumstances.
Funds would be from CRA Retail Attraction and Assistance Fund. -
Trustee Doreen Hock-DiPolito declared a conflict and abstained from voting.
Trustee Paul Gibson moved to approve relocation build out assistance loan-to-grant for
Blue Dahlia Marketplace, in conjunction with their desire to move from the 409
Cleveland Street building, as a result of the City acquisition of said premises for the
Capitol Theatre use, to 410 Cleveland Street and authorize the appropriate officials to
execute same. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously; Trustee
Hock-DiPolito abstained from voting.
3_5 Provide direction concerninq the Clearwater Regional Chamber of Commerce
request for a relocation build out assistance grant in conjunction with their move
from the Lokey Building, 401 Cleveland Street, to new leased premises at 410-
412 Cleveland Street.
The Clearwater Regional Chamber of Commerce has submitted a request for
relocation build out assistance to facilitate their relocation from 401 Cleveland
Street, to a new headquarters location at 401 Cleveland Street. The landlord has
agreed to a reduced rental structure for the Chamber, but will not provide build
out. The Chamber seeks CRA assistance in funding the build out.
Staff seeks direction on whether to assist the Chamber, and if so, in what amount
and from what source of funds.
Trustee Doreen Hock-DiPolito declared a conflict and abstained from voting.
CRA 2012-09-0�4
Item # 1
Attachment number 1 \nPage 6
In response to questions, CRA Executive Director Rod Irwin said the CRA has a retail
attraction assistance program for property owners relocating a business in the CRA.
The CRA also provides relocation assistance for restaurants and technology
companies. Since the property owner of the Blue Dahlia is not participating, a
Promissory Note from the Blue Dahlia Marketplace owner for a five-year lease has been
provided to the City. Mr. Irwin said build out assistance for the Chamber is estimated at
$50,000 maximum.
Trustee Hock-DiPolito said the estimated build out cost for the Blue Dahlia will be
approximately $17,000 and the Chamber's estimate is approximately $67,000. The City
Attorney said Trustee Hock Di-Polito's firm has been providing services pro bono; the
firm will not be doing the work.
Clearwater Regional Chamber of Commerce President Bob Clifford said the Chamber
wishes to remain in Downtown and will be investing an additional $35,000 to $50,000
for interior renovations. The Blue Dahlia is expected to be working from the new �
location on November 1, 2012 and the Chamber on December 1, 2012. The Chamber's
current lease agreement is for five years with two two-year extensions. Mr. Clifford said
the Chamber allows the Downtown Merchants Association, Clearwater Economic
Development, Clearwater Arts Alliance, and the Capitol Theater to use the Meeting
Room at no charge.
In response to a question, Mr. Irwin said the CRA is not establishing a build out
assistance program for non-profits. The request before the Trustees is specific to the
Clearwater Regional Chamber of Commerce. Staff would bring individual cases to the
CRA for further consideration.
A concern was expressed regarding participating in a discussion after one has recused
themselves; it was suggested that council rules be amended to disallow discussion after
abstaining from voting.
Staff was directed to issue a matching grant for the Chamber, 50:50, with the CRA's
contribution not to exceed $50,000. There was consensus to pursue a 5-year lease if a
10-year lease is not possible.
Trustee Jay Polglaze moved to approve a relocation build out assistance grant for the
Clearwater Regional Chamber of Commerce. The motion was duly seconded and
carried unanimously; Trustee Hock-DiPolito abstained from voting.
Trustee Paul Gibson moved to approve a grant agreement that includes an unsecured
non-recourse note; a 5-year term, to the extent the landlord is unwilling to go longer; a
50:50 match on all expenditures with CRA contribution not to exceed $50,000; and

SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the East Gateway District Five-Year Action Program for Fiscal Years 2012-2017.
SUMMARY:
Meeting Date:10/15/2012
In 2002, the East Gateway District (District) was established as part of the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA). The
expansion of the CRA was viewed as a strategic approach to revitalize the East Gateway neighborhood, leverage public-private
partnerships for economic development and housing, achieve stability in residential and business areas, and increase
redevelopment potential.
In 2004, the East Gateway Character District was created through amendments to the Clearwater powntown Redevelopment
Plan. The CRA Board adopted the East Gateway District Five-Year Action Program for Fiscal Year 2007-2012 on May 13, 2008. This
action program ended on September 30, 2012. Because of the continuing needs of the District and the momentum that CRA/city
staff and programs have created, staff recommends that a new East Gateway District Five-Year Action Program is approved and
implemented for Fiscal Years 2012-2017.
The proposed East Gateway District Five-Year Action Program includes action items that were:
1) Identified in the East Gateway Vision Plan, which was approved by the CRA Board in January 2012;
2) Proposed by the East Gateway Task Force, which is comprised of staff from various city departments;
3) Recommended by members of the East Gateway Stakeholder Advisory Group (SAG); and
4) Included in the original Five-Year Action Program and remain relevant for the upcoming five fiscal years.
There are eight overarching Goals and strategies for implementation purposes:
�oal 1: District Development
�oal 2: Create a Vibrant Market
�oal 3: Zone I(West Commercial Anchor)
�oal 4: Zone II (Corridor Development)
�oal 5: Zone III (Open Space)
�oal 6: Zone IV (Festival Core)
�oal 7: Branding Strategy
�oal 8: Policy/Recommendations
Cover Memo
Item # 2
The vast majority of the action items will be accomplished with existing operational resources and department budgets. The
following action items represent cost items whose funding has been identified:
Action Item 1.1: Additional Community Policing Presence (CRA)
Action Item 1.7: Sidewalk Improvements (ENG Annual Sidewalk Program)
Action Item 1.13: Fa4ade & Building Lot Improvement Program (CDBG)
Action Item 2.4: Marketing Brochure (CRA)
Action Item 2.16: Multicultural Celebrations (CRA)
Action Item 2.21: Farmers Markets (CRA)
Action Item 4.3: Public Forums for Streetscape Phase III (CRA)
Action Item 7.1: Branding Consultant (CRA)
Action Item 7.2: Public Forums for Branding Strategy (CRA)
The East Gateway Stakeholder Advisory Group met on September 27, 2012 and supported the proposed East Gateway Five-Year
Action Program for Fiscal Years 2012-2017. The focus for the first fiscal year will be the review and update of the Downtown
Redevelopment Plan; the next phase of the sidewalk construction; the continued community policing presence and outreach to
the businesses; completion of an additional fa�ade project; and assistance with the successful launch of the Clearwater Gateway
Farmers Market.

hours).
Capt. Teunis is currently representing me on the
East Gateway Task Force, and I want him to
start transitioning that responsibility to both Lt.
Steffens and Sgt. Young, starting with the next
meetin of Ma 19th.
I want to emphasize this is going to be a very
high profile project, with mandatory
measurement criteria to be developed. To insure
that it is closely coordinated and that we meet
our objectives, Lt. Steffens will be responsible
for same. It is vital that we utilize all District II
resources to develop a strategic plan on how to
accomplish this mission. Sgt. Stewart and Crime
Prevention needs to be very much a part of this
project. Sgt. Torres and the resources of the
HOC will be very involved. Once we design our
measurement criteria, I will be expecting
frequent and detailed progress reports. The
"East Gateway ProjecY' will definitely become a
departmental goal.
