SUMMARY: The Florida Legislature enacted the Williams E. Sadowski Affordable Housing Act in 1992. This act created a dedicated revenue source for the state and local housing trust funds. This dedicated revenue source funds state and local housing programs and assisted local governments in meeting the housing needs of its population. The Sadowski Act created the State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Program. Given the state’s budget shortfalls, funding for the SHIP Program has been drastically reduced. The City received zero dollars for FY 2010-2011, $96,986 for FY 2011-2012 $96,983 and $42,274 for FY 2012-2013. For these same fiscal years, the City received program income of $102,004.09 for FY 2010-2011, $201,727.57 for FY 2011-2012 and $129,794.44 for FY 2012-2013. The department mainly uses these SHIP funds and SHIP program income to match federal programs to be able to continue existing housing programs. All local governments receiving SHIP funds must submit to Florida Housing Finance Corporation their annual reports by September 15 of every year. The annual reports provide details of expended funds, encumbered funds and a proposal of any unused funds. The reports also provide information on the strategies funded, the number of households served, income category, age, family size, race and data regarding any special needs populations such as homeless persons, persons with disabilities and the elderly. The report is submitted electronically to the State. Through the SHIP Program, Economic Development and Housing has provided funding for the following housing activities: Down payment and closing costs assistance, the rehabilitation of owner occupied single-family dwelling, and the acquisition and rehabilitation of two multi-family dwellings. During the program years covered by these reports, the City has assisted 24 households and has funds encumbered to assist at least another 12 households, and is projecting assistance for 8 more households. SHIP funding is important to the City of Clearwater’s economy, as evidenced by activity in FY 2010- 2011 where the City spent $88,058 in SHIP dollars to leverage over a million dollars in private funds.

(consent) SUMMARY: The City maintains a life insurance benefit for employees, referred to as the 1% Life Insurance Program, under which the City matches employee contributions for individual life insurance premiums in an amount not to exceed 1% of the employee’s annual salary. New enrollment is no longer permitted for this benefit, but a number of employees who were grandfathered are expected to continue to participate. Of the five present 1% Life Insurance participating vendors, only New York Life Insurance and Principal Life Insurance currently maintain employee enrollment in numbers great enough that the total dollar amounts for employee and City contributions to premiums require City Council approval authorizing a purchase order for payment. These purchase orders are expected to cover anticipated billing for fiscal years 2014, 2015, and 2016. Funds for City contributions to the program are provided for each year in the City budget. These purchase order requests are considered to be for a continuation of services that are excepted from the bid process as contracts for insurance. [Sec. 2.564(1)(j)] Review Approval:1) Office of Management and Budget 2) Legal 3) Clerk 4) Assistant City Manager 5) City Manager 6) Clerk Cover Memo Item # 4 Work Session Council Chambers - City Hall Meeting Date:9/3/2013 SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION: Approve the settlement agreement between John Kleinfelter, et al. and the City of Clearwater in the amount of $155,000. (consent) SUMMARY: A lawsuit was filed by IAFF Local 1158 Union President John Klinefelter as lead plaintiff on behalf of a number of Clearwater Fire Rescue employees. The lawsuit alleged that hourly Clearwater Fire and Rescue Department employees were being paid incorrectly when working Holidays. The Collective bargaining agreement provides for payment of holiday pay. The Union raised a concern that the hours constituting Holiday pay for employees actually working on the designated City Holidays were being excluded from the regular rate of pay and used as an offset to the employees’ FLSA overtime pay. The long-standing city practice was to take advantage of a provision in the Fair Labor Standards Act (29 U.S.C. §207) that allows hours for Holiday pay to be excluded from the employee’s regular rate of pay in the determination of compensation toward the calculation of overtime. At no time prior to the Union raising the concern had the Union filed a grievance or brought the issue to the attention of the City’s Human Resources staff. The City contacted the Department of Labor in an effort to resolve the issue but the lawsuit was filed before any resolution could be reached. Because the Code of Federal Regulations does indicate that the Holiday hours may not be used to offset overtime and in consideration of the complexity and lengthy nature of litigation in Wage and Hour suits, it was felt that settlement was the most prudent course of action. The settlement agreement provides for $111,600 in backpay and liquidated damages and $44,400 for plaintiff attorney fees. The agreement for settle all outstanding claims and will result in dismissal of the suit. The funding for this agreement will be provided with a 3rd quarter budget transfer of $155,000 from General Fund retained earnings to the Fire Department operating budget.

City of Clearwater Background: · In May 2012, IAFF Local 1158 Union President John Klinefelter raised a compensation concern with the City’s Human Resources Department alleging that hourly Clearwater Fire and Rescue Department employees were being paid incorrectly when working Holidays. · The collective bargaining agreement between the City and IAFF Local 1158 states that Holiday pay for Holidays other than Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Year’s Day is paid at 10% of the average weekly scheduled hours (10.6 hours). Pay for the three “premium” holidays described above is paid at 15% of the average weekly scheduled hours (15.9 hours). All bargaining unit employees receive the Holiday pay for each Holiday, regardless of whether or not they actually work on the Holiday. · The Union raised a concern that the hours constituting Holiday pay for employees actually working on the designated City Holidays were being excluded from the regular rate of pay and used as an offset to the employees’ FLSA overtime pay. · The long standing practice in the Clearwater Fire and Rescue Department was to take advantage of a provision in the Fair Labor Standards Act (29 U.S.C. §207) that allows hours for Holiday pay, when it is paid as a premium at no less than one-and-one-half times the regular rate of pay, to be excluded from the employee’s regular rate of pay in the determination of compensation toward the calculation of overtime. At no time prior to the Union raising the concern in this instance had the Union filed a grievance or brought the issue to the attention of the City’s Human Resources staff. · When the issue was raised with Human Resources, the City attempted to contact the Department of Labor in order to clarify the issue. Human Resources staff advised Lieutenant Klinefelter to also contact the DOL in an effort to expedite obtaining a response. Prior to receiving a response and/or guidance from DOL, Lieutenant Klinefelter filed suit as the lead plaintiff in a class action against the City. The City was not made aware this action was pending prior to being served with the suit. · The suit filed by Klinefelter, et al., indicated that the City improperly used the premium payments for Holiday hours under 29 U.S.C. §207 to offset overtime, and cited a provision in the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (29 C.F.R. §778.219) that such hours, when they are paid whether or not the employee works on the Holiday, may not be considered as payment for hours worked on the holiday and thereby used to offset overtime. Attachment number 2 \nPage 1 of 2 Item # 5 Discussion: · The City retained the law firm of Thompson, Sizemore, Gonzalez, and Hearing to represent the City in the case. The City’s position was that the treatment of Holiday pay with respect to the calculation of overtime was consistent with and in accordance with both the collective bargaining agreement and past practice between the City and the Union. As such, the City did not willfully violate the relevant DOL regulations. · However, because the Code of Federal Regulations provision cited by the Union does indicate that the Holiday hours may not be used to offset overtime when the Holiday pay is granted whether or not the employee works the Holiday, and in consideration of the complexity and lengthy nature of litigation in Wage and Hour suits, it was felt that settlement is the most prudent course of action. · The settlement agreement provides for $111,600 in back pay and liquidated damages and $43,400 for plaintiff’s attorney’s fees. This settlement will satisfy all outstanding claims and will result in dismissal of the suit.

(consent) SUMMARY: Sculpture360 – Art in the Cleveland Street District is a temporary exhibition of outdoor public artwork intended to bring high- quality, iconic, and vibrant artwork to downtown Clearwater. This agenda item is presented in accordance with actions taken during the April 15, 2009 City Council meeting in which the Council requested that all installations of artwork of public property be subject to Council review. The following collection of sculptures is recommended in full for temporary exhibition as part of the Public Art and Design Program’s Sculpture360: Art in the Cleveland Street District: Season VI. The sculptures were chosen by a Selection Panel, appointed by the Public Art and Design Board (PADB) in accordance with the Public Art and Design Program Guidelines. The PADB subsequently reviewed and approved this collection. The sculptures are slated for installation starting the week of October 24 and will remain on exhibition through October 1, 2014.

(consent) SUMMARY: On July 18, 2013, Clearwater Police Department (CPD) was granted approval by the City Council to submit a grant application in the amount of $56,631 under the federal Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) program to continue its successful Report Review Team Program. The Program was originally launched in 2011 with JAG funding. That grant has been officially awarded and CPD now seeks approval to accept it. The Report Review Team Program was created as a means to increase supervisor efficiency within the police department. The RRT Program removes the burden of report review from first line supervisors. Implementation of the RRT Program has resulted 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 has also allowed for greater accountability and consistency in the final work product. The current RRT Program consists of a total of four part-time, non-sworn employees and operates under the supervisory umbrella of the Crime Analysis Unit. The team reviews, approves, and disseminates 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 is responsible for the tracking of reports to ensure a timely review and to provide feedback to patrol supervisors if corrective action is necessary. The 2013 JAG grant will fund the salary and benefits of 1.4 full-time equivalent (FTE) report reviewer positions. This is based on a total of 2701.99 hours at an hourly rate of $19.4697 for total salary of $52,607. Social Security at 7.65% on that amount will be $4,024 for a grand total of $56,631 to be charged to the JAG grant. An additional 2,499 hours will be worked by the Team for a cost of $48,655 in salary and $3,722 for Social Security, for a total of $52,377 and representing another 1.3 FTE’s. The $52,377 will be funded by Investigative Cost Recovery project. The total cost of the program will be $109,008 with $56,631 for 1.4 FTEs being funded with the Justice Assistance (DOJ/BJA) Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant and the remaining $52,377 for 1.3 FTEs funded from the Investigative Cost Recovery funding. Total FTE’s for the project are 2.7. There is no mandatory match for this grant. The $52,377 from the Investigative Cost Recovery fund will be reflected in the grant budget as a voluntary match. There is no retention requirement associated with this grant and the additional positions will be eliminated when grant funding expires. There will be no direct adverse impact to the Police Department annual operating budget nor is there a required match. Because the RRT Program is so successful, it is proposed that subsequent years continue to be funded through the same grant or the Investigative Cost Recovery project. Special project number 181-99245, 2013 Report Review Team Program, will be established to account for the grant expenditures. In addition, Special Project 181-99329, 2013 RRT-Invest Cost Recovery, will be used to fund the Cover Memo Item # 9 Investigative Cost Recovery portion of the grant.

(consent) SUMMARY: The City of Clearwater Engineering Department has determined that it will be necessary to rehabilitate approximately 860 linear feet of existing 54-inch stormwater pipeline between St. Thomas Drive and Belleview Boulevard. This existing pipe has significant deterioration and is near the end of its life cycle. The goal is to maintain the integrity of the stormwater system and minimize disruptions to our citizens and vehicular traffic by using a Resin Impregnated Cured in Place Pipe slip lining method. The rehabilitation of this pipe will maintain the current level of service for rainfall events and provide many more useful years to this storm system. Although Layne Inliner's was the only bid received on this project, they have been low bidder and successfully completed other pipe lining projects for the City, including the 2010 Annual Pipe Lining contract which included 18,000 feet of pipe lining. Staff has compared the unit prices to similar projects in the area and the prices are reasonable. Sufficient funding is available in Capital Improvement Program project 0315-96124, Storm Pipe System Improvements.

SUMMARY: Review Approval:1) Clerk Cover Memo Item # 16 Work Session Council Chambers - City Hall Meeting Date:9/3/2013 SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the City Attorney to hire Jeffrey Hinds, Esq. of Smolker, Bartlett, Schlosser, Loeb and Hinds, P.A. to represent the City in the case of David and Aileen Bair v. City of Clearwater for the initial amount of $40,000.00 and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same. (consent) SUMMARY: On or about April 2001, the Plaintiffs submitted a building application to Planning and Development to remodel their property in Island Estates. Because the property is below the 100-year flood elevation and is located in a "V" flood zone, the Community Development Code requires any "substantial improvements" to existing structures to comply with the flood damage-resistance provisions, including that the structure be elevated. "Substantial Improvement is defined as the "reconstruction, rehabilitation, addition or other improvement of a structure during a one-year period, the cost of which equals or exceeds 50 percent of the market value of the structure before the start of the construction of the improvement. The Building Official required the Plaintiffs to submit a non-substantial improvement application and related materials demonstrating that the work was not a substantial improvement. The City initially issued a building permit in July 2011 and Plaintiffs began work in August of that year. The City then placed a Stop Work Order on the property because Building determined that in fact the work constituted a substantial improvement. The Plaintiffs appealed this determination to the Building/Flood Board of Adjustment and Appeals; the Board ruled in favor of the City. The Plaintiffs did not further appeal the Board’s decision to Circuit Court, but instead began the process, which resulted in the filing of this lawsuit. The Plaintiffs’ suit has two counts, one under the Bert J. Harris, Jr. Private Property Rights Protection Act and a second for Equitable Estoppel. The Plaintiffs claim that they have lost market value on their property due to their partial demolition of the structure in alleged reliance on the issuance of the permit and due to their alleged inability to complete the renovations. The City has pleaded a number of defenses to the action. The City Attorney is seeking authorization to assign defense of this case to Jeffrey Hinds, Esq. of Smolker, Bartlett, Schlosser, Loeb & Hinds, P.A. The initial budget is estimated at $40,000, which is available in the City Attorney's Office Professional Services Budget.

City, and authorize the appropriate officials to execute a Legal Services Agreement. (consent) SUMMARY: The City has been sued by Peterson (a resident of Waters Edge) and Spatuzzi (a resident of Pierce 100). Their complaint seeks declaratory and injunctive relief in the form of a ruling (1) that the ballot question that seeks to authorize a long term lease of the “bluff” where city hall is presently located to the Clearwater Marine Aquarium is misleading and fails to comport to statutory requirements, (2) that the memorandum of understanding between the City and CMA constitutes an unlawful pledge of credit by a municipality to a private entity, and (3) that the proposed aquarium does not serve a valid municipal purpose, and that, therefore, the City cannot place the referendum question on the ballot in the upcoming general election. The City Attorney seeks authorization to assign defense of this case to Alan Zimmet, Esq., of Bryant, Miller, Olive. The initial budget is estimated at $40,000.00, which is available in the City Attorney's Professional Services Budget.

Staff has determined the following: * The lights on the side of the Sand Key Bridge that look like a necklace at night are purely decorative and do not have anything to do with the roadway lights on the bridge. There are no lights of a comparable nature on the Memorial Causeway Bridge, as the state generally does not do that to their bridges. There is no way to retrofit the Memorial Causeway Bridge for light installation due to the design without spending a very large sum of money (probably in the six figures) due to the nature of the bridge structure with its curvilinear piers. * There is no dedicated PSTA bus lane and traffic is blocked traveling west. PSTA did not want dedicated lanes or pullouts.
