to be consistent with the Beach by Design with regard to:
• Design Guidelines
• Hotel Density Reserve
Standards for Development Agreements:
Staff has requested minor to be made to the Development Agreement since the
October 16, 2013 Council meeting as follows:
Clarify in Sections 6.2.3 and 6.1.5 what occurs in the event of compliance with
conditions of the Termination of Nonconformity. This language should reflect that
30 of the 69 request units from the Reserve will be returned to the Reserve
thereby maintaining the maximum permitted density of 150 units per acre or a
total of 103 units.
Recite density in Section 4.1.
In Section 6.1.6, replace overnight hotel guests with members of the public as
overnight hotel guests.
Remove the reference to the timeframe, which allows up to five years for
obtaining development approval in Section 6.1.3.2 and replace with one year and
add language that the site plan must be approved and construction started within
the timeframes as set forth in the CDC.
Attach Conceptual Plan as Exhibit B and title that Exhibit accordingly.

Item # 8
Council 2013-11-20 5
Change Site Plan to Conceptual Site Plan in Section 6.1.3.1 and anywhere else
where the intent is to refer to the Conceptual Site Plan.
Add provisions regarding the provision of a bond as follows: Developer agrees to
provide a cashier’s check, a payment and performance bond, or letter of credit in
the amount of 115% of the estimated costs of the public facilities and services to
be deposited with the City to secure construction of any new public facilities and
services required to be constructed by this Agreement. Such construction shall
be completed prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for the Project.
The applicant did not incorporate the requested change with regard to item four,
above, and is reflected in Staff’s recommendation.
The proposal is in compliance with the standards for development agreements, is
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and furthers the vision of beach
redevelopment set forth in Beach by Design. The proposed Development
Agreement will be in effect for a period not to exceed ten years, meets the criteria
for the allocation of rooms from the Hotel Density Reserve under Beach by Design
and includes the following main provisions:
• Provides for the allocation of up to 69 units from the Hotel Density
Reserve or a maximum density of 150 units per acre, whichever is less;
• Requires the developer to obtain building permits and certificates of
occupancy in accordance with (CDC) Section 4-407;
• Requires the return of any hotel unit obtained from the Hotel Density
Reserve that is not constructed;
• For units allocated from the Hotel Density Reserve, prohibits the
conversion of any hotel unit to a residential use and requires the recording
of a covenant restricting use of such hotel units to overnight
accommodation usage; and
• Requires a legally enforceable mandatory evacuation/closure covenant
that the hotel will be closed as soon as practicable after a hurricane watch
that includes Clearwater Beach is posted by the National Hurricane
Center.
Changes to Development Agreements:
Pursuant to Section 4-606.I., CDC, a Development Agreement may be amended
by mutual consent of the parties, provided the notice and public hearing
Draft

requirements of Section 4-206 are followed. Revisions to conceptual site plans
and/or architectural elevations attached as exhibits to this Development
Agreement shall be governed by the provisions of Section 4-406, CDC. Minor
revisions to such plans may be approved by the Community Development
Coordinator. Other revisions not specified as minor shall require an amendment
to this Development Agreement.
The Planning and Development Department is recommending approval of this
Development Agreement for the allocation of up to 69 units from the Hotel Density
Reserve under Beach by Design with a change to the wording of Section 6.1.3.2
from five years from approval of the Development Agreement to one year for
obtaining of site plan approval.
Applicant representative Katie Cole said a revised development agreement, indicating
the requested three years, was submitted to staff. The Applicant is the owner/operator
of the facility and has expressed three years is needed to proceed deliberately and
diligently for a successful project.
Discussion ensued with support expressed for a two-year or three-year timeframe.
In response to a question, Planning and Development Assistant Director Gina Clayton
said staff is trying to implement the development reserve process as if the site plan went
concurrently with the development agreement; the typical issued development order
provided the applicant one year to commence construction. Staff did not identify an
issue until the new hotel density reserve process was enacted. Assistant City Attorney
Leslie Dougall-Sides said the Applicant was caught in a situation when the original 5-
year timeframe was reduced to one-year.
The City Attorney said the issue of one year was raised fairly late in the process. If the
Applicant was told from the beginning that the timeframe was one year, they may have
chosen not to apply.
It was suggested that the Applicant be provided 3 years as the timeframe issue was
raised late in the process and all future applicants be provided one year. It was stated
that the program was intended to restore the number of density units.
Councilmember Jay Polglaze moved to approve the Development Agreement
between Ted and Maria Lenart, Trustees of Lenart Family Trust UTD December 20,
1991 (the property owner) and the City of Clearwater, providing for the allocation
of up to 69 units from the Hotel Density Reserve under Beach by Design with three
years from approval of the Development Agreement for obtaining a site plan
approval, and directed staff to implement a one-year time frame for all future Draft

13/01 in Section 32, Township 28 N, Range 16 E); and pass Ordinances 8494-
13, 8495-13 and 8496-13 on first reading. (ANX2013-08024)
This voluntary annexation petition involves a 14.698-acre property consisting of
one vacant parcel of land. It is located approximately 1/3 of a mile south of
Enterprise Road and approximately 1/3 of a mile west of Landmark Drive. The
applicant is requesting this annexation in order to receive water, sanitary sewer,
and solid waste service from the City. The applicant also intends to develop the
property with approximately thirty residential lots, but has not submitted plans at
this time. The property is contiguous to existing City boundaries in all directions. It
is proposed that the property be assigned a Future Land Use Map designation of
Water Drainage Feature, Drainage Feature Overlay, Residential Low (RL), and
Preservation (P) and a Zoning Atlas designation of Preservation (P) and Low
Density Residential (LDR).
The Planning and Development Department determined that the proposed
annexation is consistent with the provisions of Clearwater Community
Development Code Section 4-604.E as follows:
The closest sewer line is located in the Parkstream Avenue right-of-way, and the
applicant is aware of the additional costs to expend City sewer to this property.
Collection of solid waste will be provided by the City of Clearwater. The property is
located within Police District III and service will be administered through the
district headquarters located at 2851 North McMullen Booth Road. Fire and
emergency medical services will be provided to this property by Station 50 located
at 2681 Countryside Boulevard. Due to the size of the property (greater than 10

acres), an Ability to Serve Report was compiled and submitted to the Pinellas
Planning Council. The outcome of this report indicated that the City has adequate
capacity to provide potable water, sanitary sewer, solid waste, police, fire
protection, emergency medical services, library, and recreation services to the
subject property. The proposed annexation will not have an adverse effect on
public facilities and their levels of service; and
The proposed annexation is consistent with and promotes the following objective
of the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan:
Objective A.6.4 Due to the built-out character of the City of Clearwater, compact
urban development within the urban service area shall be promoted through
application of the Clearwater Community Development Code.
Objective A.7.2 Diversify and expand the City’s tax base through the annexation
of a variety of land uses located within the Clearwater Planning Area.
Policy A.7.2.3 Continue to process voluntary annexations for single-family
residential properties upon request.
The proposed Water/Drainage Feature, Drainage Feature Overlay, Residential
Low (RL), and Preservation (P) Future Land Use Map categories are consistent
with the current Countywide Plan designation of this property. The RL designation
primarily permits residential uses at a density of five units per acre. The
Preservation (P), Water/ Drainage Feature, and the Drainage Feature Overlay
designations are used to indicate water bodies and/or drainage features on the
parcel (Lake Chautauqua). The proposed zoning districts to be assigned to the
property are the Low Density Residential (LDR) and Preservation (P) Districts.
The proposed use of the subject property is consistent with the uses allowed in
the Low Density Residential (LDR) District and the property exceeds the district’s
minimum dimensional requirements. The proposed annexation is therefore
consistent with the Countywide Plan and the City’s Comprehensive Plan and
Community Development Code; and
The property proposed for annexation is contiguous to existing City boundaries to
the north, east, west, and south; therefore, the annexation is consistent with
Florida Statutes Chapter 171.044.
Councilmember Bill Jonson moved to approve the annexation, initial Future Land Use
Map designations of Water Drainage Feature, Drainage Feature Overlay, Residential
Low (RL), and Preservation (P) and initial Zoning Atlas designations of Low Density

8504-13 on first reading.(ANX2013-09029)
This voluntary annexation petition involves a 0.151-acre property consisting of
one parcel of land occupied by a single-family dwelling. It is located on the north
side of Palm Street, approximately 360 feet east of Douglas Avenue (County
Road 345). The applicant is requesting annexation in order to receive solid waste
service from the City, and will connect to City sewer when it is available in the
future, as part of the City’s Idlewild/The Mall Septic-to-Sewer Project. The
property is contiguous to existing City boundaries to the west and to the south. It
is proposed that the property be assigned a Future Land Use Map designation of
Residential Urban (RU) and a Zoning Atlas designation of Low Medium Density
Residential (LMDR).
The Planning and Development Department determined that the proposed
annexation is consistent with the provisions of Clearwater Community
Development Code Section 4-604.E as follows: The property currently receives
water service from the City. Collection of solid waste will be provided to the
property by the City. The applicant will connect to the City’s sanitary sewer service
when it is available, and is aware of the fee that must be paid in order to connect
and the financial incentives available. The property is located within Police District
II and service will be administered through the district headquarters located at 645
Pierce Street. Fire and emergency medical services will be provided to this
property by Station 51 located at 1720 Overbrook Avenue. The City has adequate

capacity to serve this property with sanitary sewer, solid waste, police, fire and
EMS service.
The proposed annexation will not have an adverse effect on public facilities and
their levels of service; and
The proposed annexation is consistent with and promotes the following objective
of the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan:
Objective A.6.4 Due to the built-out character of the City of Clearwater, compact
urban development within the urban service area shall be promoted through
application of the Clearwater Community Development Code.
Objective A.7.2 Diversify and expand the City’s tax base through the annexation
of a variety of land uses located within the Clearwater Planning Area.
Policy A.7.2.3 Continue to process voluntary annexations for single-family
residential properties upon request. The proposed Residential Urban (RU) Future
Land Use Map category is consistent with the current Countywide Plan
designation of this property. This designation primarily permits residential uses at
a density of 7.5 units per acre.
The proposed zoning district to be assigned to the property is the Low Medium
Density Residential (LMDR) District. The use of the subject property is consistent
with the uses allowed in the district and the property exceeds the district’s
minimum dimensional requirements.
The proposed annexation is therefore consistent with the Countywide Plan and
the City’s Comprehensive Plan and Community Development Code; and
The property proposed for annexation is contiguous to existing City boundaries to
the west and to the south; therefore, the annexation is consistent with Florida
Statutes Chapter 171.044.

Approve amendments to the Community Development Code providing for

reading. (TA2013-09008)
The Community Development Code requires any detached accessory garage to
be located behind the front edge of the principal structure. New attached dwelling
developments typically provide garages for a certain number of units and require
those garages to be located in a manner that is easy to access and convenient for
residents. Flexibility may be needed in the placement of garages due to lot size,
Draft

lot configuration, environmental constraints and other site considerations.
Proposed Ordinance 8498-13 amends Section 3-201.B to allow accessory
detached garages to be located forward of the principal structure provided certain
design and locational criteria are met. Below is a summary of the main provisions
of the proposed ordinance.
• Proposed ordinance only applies to developments exceeding 100
units and ones that are not located in areas governed by special
area plans/redevelopment plans or in designated activity centers or
along redevelopment corridors.
• Requires garages to maintain a 25 foot front setback;
• Requires garages to be located in a manner that does not obstruct
access to the dwellings;
• Requires garages to have the same colors, roof design, and
architectural features of the main buildings and appear to be
habitable space from the street;
• Limits rows of detached garages in front of the principal building to
80 feet in length and requires a horizontal or vertical modulation of
two feet for every 40 feet in length; and
• Prohibits such garages to be used as habitable space e.g.
converted to dwelling units.
The Planning and Development Department has determined that the proposed
text amendment to the Community Development Code is consistent with and
furthers the goals, objectives and policies of the Comprehensive Plan and the
Community Development Code as outlined in the staff report. The Community
Development Board (CDB) reviewed the proposed text amendment at its meeting
of October 15, 2013 and unanimously recommended approval of the amendment.
In response to questions, Planning and Development Assistant Director Gina Clayton
said the development community has expressed an interest in the amendments. The
City’s Comprehensive Plan includes designated redevelopment corridors (i.e., Gulf-to-
Bay Boulevard, Missouri A, etc.) that are subject to the limitations.

Approve a senior exemption for long-term resident, low-income seniors under
the criteria of Amendment 11 approved by the voters in November 2012 and
pass Ordinance 8522-13 on first reading.
In addition to the homestead exemption for residential homeowners, the City of
Clearwater currently provides an additional $25,000 senior exemption for
qualifying senior residential homeowners. From the 2012 tax roll, the value of
property receiving this exemption is $32,056,116 and the budget impact of lost
revenue from this exemption is approximately $165,000.Amendment 11, which
was approved by the voters in November 2012, gives the City the option to adopt
a senior exemption for long-term resident, low-income seniors. The new
exemption exempts 100% of the assessed value of a senior's homesteaded
property if the just value is less than $250,000; the owner is 65; the property has
been the owner's permanent residence for at least 25 years; and the owner's
household income is less than the limit established for the current low-income
senior exemption (currently $27,590).This additional senior exemption of
$250,000 must be authorized by a super majority (a majority plus one) vote of the
City Council.
The deadline to establish the Amendment 11 senior exemption is December 1,
2013 for 2014.

Approve the Purchase Contract for the City purchase of real property located at

expenses; authorize the appropriate officials to execute same, together with all

Fund reserves to fund the costs of $103,350.
The subject property is located at 1140 Brownell Street and is currently
improved with a single-family residential structure containing 768 square feet of
living area. The parcel is approximately 6,561 square feet and lies among non-
contiguous property assembled for the new construction of Fire Station 45. If left
in private ownership, the Fire Station campus will effectively surround this
residential structure.

If acquired, the property would be assembled with existing city land holdings and
would offer the opportunity to vacate a portion of Brownell Street adding 5,400
square feet to the city assemblage. All property within the assemblage would be
contiguous.
City staff first attempted to negotiate with the property owner in 2011; discussions
were unsuccessful. The negotiated purchase price is a result of the most recent
discussions with the property owner spanning several months. The purchase
contract represents the lowest purchase price that the seller would accept. An
independent appraisal was performed on the property by Nash and Associates
Appraisal Services, Inc. The appraiser determined that the fair market value of
the property was $55,000 as of the appraisal date of April 27, 2013.
Funding for this contract will be provided by a first quarter budget amendment
allocating General Fund reserves in the amount of $103,350 to capital project
315-91253, Main Fire Station. The balance in General Fund reserves is
approximately $17.9 million, or 15.6% of the 2013/14 General Fund operating
budget. Inclusive of the $1.4 million used to fund the current operating budget, a
total of $1,801,943 of General Fund reserves has been used to date to fund
expenditures in the 2013/14 operating budget.
In response to questions, Real Estate Services Coordinator Chuck Lane said no parking
spaces will be installed on the parcel. The property was appraised as a single-family
residence. The appraised value on a sq. ft. basis will decrease once the fire station is
constructed. Fire Chief Robert Weiss said the current property owner would experience
the noise and activities associated with a functioning 24-hour fire station. Acquiring the
site will improve security between the facility and employee parking area after
demolition.
Discussion ensued with concerns expressed with the proposed purchase cost, which is
above fair market value. It was stated that the property owner refused to negotiate with
the City prior to design.
In response to questions, the City Attorney said the City could have obtained the
property via eminent domain if it was a necessity to the site, which would require the
City to pay for the property owner’s expenses for counsel, appraisals, and expert
witnesses. The property value is established by a jury. The City Attorney said Council
did not discuss eminent domain; Council decided to design the project around the
residence.
One individual expressed concern that the appraised value of $55,000 would not allow
the property owner to purchase a comparable living quarters; the property owner is
working with a realtor.

Meeting Date:12/5/2013
SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Approve second amendment to the Capitol Theatre Operating Agreement (CTOA) between the City of Clearwater (City) and Ruth Eckerd
Hall, Inc. (REH); amending the Capitol Improvement Program by transferring $500,000 of Penny Funds from Fiscal Year 2014/15, Ruth
Eckerd Hall, to the Capitol Theatre budget (CIP 315-93623); and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same.
SUMMARY:
On September 20, 2012, the City entered into the CTOA with REH to renovate and operate the Capitol Theatre Facility located at 401, 403
and 409 Cleveland Street for a period of 30 years.
The CTOA provided funding of the project in the amount not to exceed $7,112,209. On July 18, 2013, the City Council approved an
increase of $500,000 to $7,612,209 based on the anticipated receipt of State funding via the Cultural Facilities Program Grant.
In the City of Clearwater’s Capital Improvement Program, there is $500,000 in Fiscal Year 2014/15 CIP budget that was allocated as a
contingency for the construction of the Capitol Theatre with the intention of using any remaining funds toward the educational center at
Ruth Eckerd Hall.
On October 21, 2013, the City received a letter from Mr. Josh Magidson, Chairman, and Mr. Zev Buffman, President/CEO of Ruth Eckerd
Hall, Inc. requesting the use of this contingency for the construction of the Capitol Theatre.
This $500,000 was dedicated through Penny for Pinellas, and requires a Public Hearing for this change. The public hearing notice was
advertised on November 20, 2013.
A first quarter budget amendment will transfer the remaining $500,000 budgeted for the Ruth Eckerd Hall Capitol Theatre contingency and
the expansion of the learning center to project 315-93623, Capitol Theatre.
The project is currently under construction, and is estimated to be completed by December 18, 2013. All other terms and conditions of the
original agreement will remain in full force and effect.

Meeting Date:12/5/2013
SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Amendment to the City of Clearwater Cafeteria Plan document to provide for the allowance of the carryover of up to
$500 in health Flexible Spending Arrangement account funds in accordance with United States Department of Treasury and IRS
guidelines issued on October 31, 2013 and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
SUMMARY:
On October 31, 2013, the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the IRS issued a notice modifying the use-or-lose rule for health
flexible spending arrangements (FSAs). To make health FSAs more consumer-friendly and provide added flexibility, the updated
guidance permits employers to allow plan participants to carry over up to $500 of their unused health FSA account balance
remaining at the end of a plan year to the following year. The provision does not apply to dependent care FSAs at this time.
In order to take advantage of the new carryover option permitted under the Treasury Department notice, Section 125 cafeteria
plans offering a health FSA must be amended to set forth the carryover provision. Plans may be amended effective beginning with
plan year 2013. This change will permit the City to begin allowing employees to carry over up to $500 of the unused amounts
remaining in their health FSA accounts for expenses in the next year beginning immediately. The City’s FSA administrator
WageWorks is prepared to manage the new provision and effect the change in order to allow for the carryover of health FSA funds
from the current plan year into 2014. The City's Aflac provider has indicated that it will continue to fund the cost of any fees
imposed by WageWorks for the administration of the City health FSA accounts including the carryover, resulting in no additional
cost to the City associated with this request.

Approve the renewal of the agreement as modified between the City and MHNet for employee and retiree Employee Assistance
Program and Mental Health/Chemical Dependency benefits, from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014, and authorize the
appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
SUMMARY:
The agreement between the City and MHNet for the provision of EAP and Mental Health/Chemical Dependency services expires
on December 31, 2013 and provides for an automatic one-year renewal.
The City offers EAP and Mental Health/Chemical Dependency benefits through MHNet to all regular full-time employees, their
dependents covered under the City’s medical insurance, all regular part-time employees, and retirees and their dependents covered
under the City’s medical insurance only. MHNet has proposed a modification of the current rates to align the premiums more
accordingly with the claims being incurred for the respective services. The proposed changes include an increase in the per
member/per month cost for EAP services from $1.39 to $1.64 and a corresponding reduction of the same amount in the per
member/per month cost for Mental Health/Chemical Dependency services from $6.76 to $6.51. The result is a net zero increase in
the overall City cost for the services. This rate modification will in no other way alter the terms of the current agreement between
the City and MHNet, nor the services currently being offered.

SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the settlement agreement and release between Michael Faulkner and the City of Clearwater in the amount of $37,500.00
(consent)
SUMMARY:
Michael Faulkner is currently employed by the City of Clearwater as a Fire Lieutenant with Clearwater Fire
Rescue. Mr. Faulkner alleged that the former Fire Chief delayed his promotion to Fire Lieutenant on the basis of
age and therefore discriminated against him. Mr. Faulkner filed a charge with the EEOC and sued the City on that
basis.
While the City denies that any discrimination took place, a decision was made to settle this litigation for the sum
of $37,500. This settlement agreement does not construe any admission of wrongful acts by the City and settles
any and all claims Mr. Faulkner may have in this regard.
Funding for this settlement agreement will be provided by a first quarter budget amendment allocating General
Fund reserves in the amount of $37,500 to the Fire Department Operating Budget. The balance in General Fund
reserves is approximately $17.9 million, or 15.5% of the 2013/14 General Fund operating budget. Inclusive of the
$1.4 million used to fund the current operating budget, a total of $1,839,443 of General Fund reserves has been
used to date to fund expenditures in the 2013/14 operating budget.

Meeting Date:12/5/2013
SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Approve an amendment between American Healthways Services, Inc. (Healthways) and the City of Clearwater (City), allowing
the City to be a provider of fitness services and benefits for eligible Medicare Members known as the SilverSneakers Program at
the Henry L. McMullen Tennis Complex, 1000 Edenville Avenue, Clearwater, FL and authorize the appropriate officials to
execute same. (consent)
SUMMARY:
Healthways has established a network of sponsoring organizations throughout the country to provide fitness services, to benefit
Medicare participants represented by their medical providers. In the State of Florida, there are 15 such providers associated with
Healthways.
Healthways has established a program known as SilverSneakers where by their members can get health and fitness programs at
approved provider sites at no cost.
The City entered into a contractual agreement with Healthways on March 3, 2011, which designated five City Recreation Centers
as Healthways’ SilverSneakers sites.
The City’s obligation is to provide facilities for seniors to engage in the various approved SilverSneakers programs and activities.
For every visit made to an approved program, which ranges from simply working out in the fitness room or pool to organized
exercise classes, the City is reimbursed or subsidized at a rate of $3.00 per day per visit not to exceed $30.00 per month per
participant. The reimbursement paid by Healthways is inclusive of any and all taxes that may be required to be paid to any
governmental authority.
The SilverSneakers program has achieved success since launching at five city recreation sites in June 2011. The partnership has
resulted in more than 1,500 new annual members; increased participation; improved the health and quality of life for our senior
residents but also provided an infusion of much needed new revenue into the City.
This contract amendment adds the McMullen Tennis Complex as the sixth SilverSneakers site among Clearwater Recreation
centers.

Meeting Date:12/5/2013
SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Approve 2.1 Full Time Equivalent (FTE) beach lifeguard positions to provide additional coverage at Clearwater’s public beaches
from March 1 to Labor Day and approve funding for these positions to come from parking revenue at first quarter. (consent)
SUMMARY:
In Fiscal Year 2009/10 due in part to the economic downturn in the economy and reduction of tax funding, the Beach Guard Program
was reduced by approximately 33% from 14.5 FTE’s ($684,030) to 9.9 FTE’s ($458,300).
Over the past four years there has been no increase in staffing levels and only a modest 1.6% increase in operating budgets; attributed
to salary and benefit increases to its current budget for Fiscal Year 2013/14 of $487,730.
Tourism to Clearwater and Clearwater Beach has increased significantly during this time. Clearwater Beach has won numerous
awards and designations and recently named Best Beach by USA Today.
The continued success of Clearwater’s investment in projects like Beach Walk, Pier 60 renovations and Marina District
improvements only add to the popularity and volume of people visiting Clearwater Beach.
With this influx of people, especially during the peak times of between March 1 and Labor Day, staff is recommending that the Beach
Guard Team be increased by 2.1 FTE’s in order to expand the hours of operations to cover the beach from 9:30 am to 6:30 pm.
Currently the guards are off the beach at 4:30 pm, which leaves the public beaches unattended even while there are still a lot of beach
goers and activities going on at the beach. Extending beach guarding by two hours per day will give residents and visitors to the
beach added security and a sense of safety that is not now being provided.
The current beach guard program is funded through the Parking Fund. Staff is recommending that these new positions be funded with
parking funds as well.
For the remainder of this year, the budget impact will be approximately $52,670; the annual budget impact will be approximately
$79,000.

SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Ratify and confirm the City Manager’s approval of a Customs Power of Attorney (POA), authorizing Lisa Ragan Customs
Brokerage to accept merchandise purchased by the City from Chongqing Arlau Civic Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd (Arlau),
Chongqing, China; and approve the City Manager and/or his designee be allowed to sign off on any future customs POA’s if they
should arise in the future. (consent)
SUMMARY:
On August 27, 2013, the Parks and Recreation Department issued Purchase Order BR509161 to Arlau, for stainless steel 316 grade
backless benches and stainless steel removable bollards to be used on Beachwalk.
Unknown to staff, a POA was needed by the customs broker to receive the goods when they come to port in Jamaica, New York,
estimated date of arrival December 5, 2013.
Without the POA, the goods could not enter the United States and there would be additional fines, penalties and storage charges on
the goods.
Therefore, the City Manager approved signing the POA on behalf of the City so that the goods could be received without these
additional costs and additional problems with customs.
This is a standard issue in the shipping industry. By giving the City Manager or his designee the ability to sign off on these
standard POA forms, the City will be better prepared to meet future needs if they should arise.

DISTRIBUTION EASEMENT
KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS, that the undersigned, their heirs, successors, lessees and
assigns (“GRANTOR”), in consideration of the mutual benefits, covenants and conditions herein contained, does
hereby grant and convey to DUKE ENERGY FLORIDA, INC., d/b/a DUKE ENERGY, a Florida corporation
(“GRANTEE”), Post Office Box 14042, St. Petersburg, Florida 33733, and to its successors and assigns, an
easement to install, operate and maintain in perpetuity, such facilities as may be necessary or desirable for providing
electric energy and, said facilities being located in the following described “Easement Area” within GRANTOR’S
premises in Pinellas County, to wit:
Utility Easement more particularly described on Exhibit “A” attached hereto and by
this reference made a part hereof.
The rights herein granted to GRANTEE by GRANTOR specifically include: (a) the right for GRANTEE
to patrol, inspect, alter, improve, repair, rebuild, relocate, and remove said facilities; further GRANTEE hereby
agrees to restore the Easement Area to as near as practicable the condition which existed prior to such construction,
repairs, alteration, replacement, relocation or removal as a result of GRANTEE’s safe and efficient installation,
operation or maintenance of said facilities; (b) the reasonable right for GRANTEE to increase or decrease the
voltage and to change the quantity and type of facilities; (c) the reasonable right for GRANTEE to clear the
Easement Area of trees, limbs, undergrowth and other physical objects which, in the opinion of GRANTEE,
endanger or interfere with the safe and efficient installation, operation or maintenance of said facilities; (d) the
reasonable right for GRANTEE to request that GRANTOR trim or remove any trees or vegetation adjacent to, but
outside the Easement Area which, in the reasonable opinion of GRANTEE, endangers or interferes with the safe
and efficient installation, operation or maintenance of said facilities; (e) the reasonable right for GRANTEE to enter
upon land of the GRANTOR adjacent to said Easement Area for the purpose of exercising the rights herein granted;
and (f) all other rights and privileges reasonably necessary or convenient for GRANTEE’s safe and efficient
installation, operation and maintenance of said facilities and for the enjoyment and use of said easement for the
purposes described above. The rights and easement herein granted are non-exclusive as to entities not engaged in the
provision of electric energy and service and GRANTOR reserves the right to grant rights to others affecting said
easement area provided that such rights do not create an unsafe condition or unreasonably conflict with the rights
granted to GRANTEE herein.
GRANTOR hereby covenants and agrees that no buildings, structures or obstacles (except fences) shall be
located, constructed, excavated or created within the Easement Area. If the fences are installed, they shall be placed
so as to allow ready access to GRANTEE’s facilities and provide a working space of not less than ten (10) feet on
the opening side, six (6) feet on the back for working space and three (3) fe et on all other sides of any pad mounted
transformer. If GRANTOR’s future orderly development of the premises is in physical conflict with GRANTEE’s
Attachment number 1 \nPage 1 of 9
Item # 44
facilities, GRANTEE shall, within 60 days after receipt of written request from GRANTOR, relocate said facilities
to another mutually agreed upon Easement Area in GRANTOR’s premises, provided that (a) GRANTOR shall
reimburse GRANTEE the full actual cost of the relocation, and (b) GRANTOR shall execute and deliver to
GRANTEE, at no cost, an acceptable and recordable easement to cover the relocated facilities. Upon the
completion of the relocation, the easement herein shall be considered cancelled as to the portion vacated by such
relocation. If this easement is being granted to provide electric service to GRANTOR, then this legal description was
provided by GRANTOR. In the event facilities are located outside of this legal description, GRANTOR shall pay
for any relocation costs necessary or shall amend this legal description to cover the actual facilities. Should this
easement be granted to provide electric service to a third party, GRANTEE shall provide the legal description and
GRANTOR shall not have any liability related to errors in the legal description.
GRANTOR covenants not to interfere with GRANTEE’s facilities within the Easement Area in
GRANTOR’s premises, and GRANTOR further covenants to indemnify to the extent of Florida Statute 768.28
and hold GRANTEE harmless from damages and injuries, whether to persons or property, arising directly from the
negligent act related to GRANTEE’s facilities by GRANTOR or by GRANTOR’ s agents or employees.
Nothing contained herein, however, shall be construed to waive or modify the provisions of Florida Statute
768.28 or the doctrine of sovereign immunity as to any party hereto. In addition, nothing contained herein shall be

KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS, that the undersigned, their heirs, successors, lessees and
assigns (“GRANTOR”), in consideration of the mutual benefits, covenants and conditions herein contained, does
hereby grant and convey to DUKE ENERGY FLORIDA, INC., d/b/a DUKE ENERGY, a Florida corporation
(“GRANTEE”), Post Office Box 14042, St. Petersburg, Florida 33733, and to its successors and assigns, an
easement to install, operate and maintain in perpetuity, such facilities as may be necessary or desirable for providing
electric energy and, said facilities being located in the following described “Easement Area” within GRANTOR’S
premises in Pinellas County, to wit:
Utility Easement more particularly described on Exhibit “A” attached hereto and by
this reference made a part hereof.
The rights herein granted to GRANTEE by GRANTOR specifically include: (a) the right for GRANTEE
to patrol, inspect, alter, improve, repair, rebuild, relocate, and remove said facilities; further GRANTEE hereby
agrees to restore the Easement Area to as near as practicable the condition which existed prior to such construction,
repairs, alteration, replacement, relocation or removal as a result of GRANTEE’s safe and efficient installation,
operation or maintenance of said facilities; (b) the reasonable right for GRANTEE to increase or decrease the
voltage and to change the quantity and type of facilities; (c) the reasonable right for GRANTEE to clear the
Easement Area of trees, limbs, undergrowth and other physical objects which, in the opinion of GRANTEE,
endanger or interfere with the safe and efficient installation, operation or maintenance of said fa cilities; (d) the
reasonable right for GRANTEE to request that GRANTOR trim or remove any trees or vegetation adjacent to, but
outside the Easement Area which, in the reasonable opinion of GRANTEE, endangers or interferes with the safe
and efficient installation, operation or maintenance of said facilities; (e) the reasonable right for GRANTEE to enter
upon land of the GRANTOR adjacent to said Easement Area for the purpose of exercising the rights herein granted;
and (f) all other rights and privileges reasonably necessary or convenient for GRANTEE’s safe and efficient
installation, operation and maintenance of said facilities and for the enjoyment and use of said easement for the
purposes described above. The rights and easement herein granted are non-exclusive as to entities not engaged in the
provision of electric energy and service and GRANTOR reserves the right to grant rights to others affecting said
easement area provided that such rights do not create an unsafe condition or unreasonably conflict with the rights
granted to GRANTEE herein.
GRANTOR hereby covenants and agrees that no buildings, structures or obstacles (except fences) shall be
located, constructed, excavated or created within the Easement Area. If the fences are installed, they shall be pl aced

reimburse GRANTEE the full actual cost of the relocation, and (b) GRANTOR shall execute and deliver to
GRANTEE, at no cost, an acceptable and recordable easement to cover the relocated facilities. Upon th e
completion of the relocation, the easement herein shall be considered cancelled as to the portion vacated by such
relocation. If this easement is being granted to provide electric service to GRANTOR, then this legal description was
provided by GRANTOR. In the event facilities are located outside of this legal description, GRANTOR shall pay
for any relocation costs necessary or shall amend this legal description to cover the actual facilities. Should this
easement be granted to provide electric service to a third party, GRANTEE shall provide the legal description and
GRANTOR shall not have any liability related to errors in the legal description.
GRANTOR covenants not to interfere with GRANTEE’s facilities within the Easement Area in
GRANTOR’s premises, and GRANTOR further covenants to indemnify to the extent of Florida Statute 768.28
and hold GRANTEE harmless from damages and injuries, whether to persons or property, arising directly from the
negligent act related to GRANTEE’s facilities by GRANTOR or by GRANTOR’ s agents or employees.
Nothing contained herein, however, shall be construed to waive or modify the provisions of Florida Statute
768.28 or the doctrine of sovereign immunity as to any party hereto. In addition, nothing contained herein shall be
construed as consent by the GRANTOR to be sued by third parties in any manner arising from this grant of easement, or
as a waiver of sovereign immunity.
GRANTEE agrees to indemnify and hold GRANTOR harmless for, from and against any and all losses,
claims or damages incurred by GRANTOR arising directly from GRANTEE’s negligence or failure to exercise
reasonable care in the construction, reconstruction, operation, use or maintenance of GRANTEE's facilities located on

premises in which the above described Easement Area is located, (b) that GRANTOR has full right and lawful
authority to grant and convey this easement to GRANTEE, and (c) that GRANTEE shall have quiet and peaceful

City Council Agenda

Meeting Date:12/5/2013
SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Approve selection of Ajax Building Corporation of Oldsmar, FL as the Construction Manager at Risk (CM at Risk) for the
proposed Countryside Branch Library project (11-0059-LI). (consent)
SUMMARY:
The City issued RFQ 25-13 in July 2013 for CM at Risk firms for the Countryside Branch Library project.
Nine firms responded.
The review committee included representatives of the Library, Solid Waste/General Services, Parks and
Recreation, Engineering and the Harvard Jolly project architect, as a non-voting member.
The selection committee chose four firms for oral presentations including Ajax Building Corporation, Creative
Contractors, Inc., Biltmore Construction Co., Inc., and A.D. Morgan Corporation. A portion of the oral
presentations addressed specific questions the city sent to the firms in advance. The Review Committee
recommends Ajax Building Corporation (Ajax) for the following reasons:
· The large number of library projects they have completed (50+), many with Harvard Jolly.
· Approximately 95% of their work is municipal.
· Ajax included numerous ideas to involve the community during the construction process. They will
provide a webcam enabling the public to view real time construction photos linked to the city website.
· Ajax was the only firm that pointed out their installed equipment would have Quick Response labels,
allowing Building and Maintenance staff to electronically access warranty and operation and maintenance
manuals.
· Ajax was the only firm that included in their presentation that they link construction photos to the as-
builts, enabling Building and Maintenance staff to have record of the interior of walls etc., before the walls
are enclosed.
Ajax will provide preconstruction services under a Purchase Order including design review and construction cost
estimating. Once design approaches final construction documents, staff will present a guaranteed maximum price
contract to Council for approval.

duplicate to the Architect-Engineer, a written report covering suggestions or
recommendations previously submitted, additional suggestions or recommendations as
the Construction Manager may deem appropriate, and all actions taken by the Architect-
Engineer with respect to same, any comments he may deem to be appropriate with
respect to separating the work into separate contracts and/or alternative materials.

lead procurement items (i.e. machinery, equipment, materials and supplies). When each
item is identified, the Construction Manager shall notify the subcontractors, the Owner,
and the Architect-Engineer of the required procurement and schedule. Such information
shall be included in the bid documents and made a part of all affected sub-contracts. As
soon as the Architect-Engineer has completed drawings and technical specifications and
the Construction Manager has obtained permitting approval, the Construction Manager
shall prepare invitations for bids. The Construction Manager shall keep informed of the
progress of the respective subcontractors or suppliers, manufacturing or fabricating such
items and advise Project Director, Owner and Architect-Engineer of any problems or
prospective delay in delivery.

b) For each separate construction contract exceeding $35,000, the Construction Manager shall,
unless waived by Owner, conduct a pre-bid conference with prospective bidders, the
Architect-Engineer and the Owner. In the event questions are raised which require an
interpretation of the bidding documents or otherwise indicate a need for clarification or
correction of the invitation, the Construction Manager shall transmit these to the Architect-
Engineer and upon receiving clarification or correction in writing shall prepare an addendum
to the bidding document, and issue same to all of the prospective bidders.
3.7 Quality Control - The Construction Manager shall develop and maintain a program,
acceptable to the Owner and Architect-Engineer that assures quality control of the
construction. The Construction Manager shall supervise the work of all subcontractors
providing instruction to each when their work does not conform to the requirements of the
plans and specifications and shall continue to assert influence and control over each
subcontractor to ensure that corrections are made in a timely manner so as to not affect the
efficient progress of the work. Should disagreement occur between the Construction

and safety are threatened, however, the Construction Manager shall act immediately to
remove such threat to health and safety. The Construction Manager shall also carefully
review all shop drawings and then forward the same to the Architect-Engineer for review and
actions. The Architect-Engineer will transmit them back to the Construction Manager who

will then issue the shop drawings to the affected subcontractor for fabrication or revision.
The Construction Manager shall maintain a record to promote expeditious handling. The
Construction Manager shall request the Architect-Engineer to make interpretations of the
drawings or specifications requested of him by the subcontractors and shall maintain a record
to promote timely response. The Construction Manager shall advise the Owner and
Architect-Engineer when timely response is not occurring on any of the above. The
Construction Manager shall collect, review and submit to the Owner, all project closeout
documentation including operation, maintenance and training manuals.
ARTICLE 4: MAXIMUM PROJECT COST AND FEES FOR SERVICES
4.1 Guaranteed Maximum Price for Construction
a) When the Construction Documents are sufficiently complete to establish the scope of
work for the project or any portion thereof, the Construction Manager will establish and
submit in writing to the Owner for his approval a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP)
guaranteeing the maximum price to the Owner, for the construction cost of the project or
designated part thereof. Such Guaranteed Maximum Price will be subject to modification
for changes in the project as provided in article 4.1(e) below. Actual price paid for the
work by the Owner, however, shall be the actual cost of all work subcontracts, supply
contracts, direct labor costs, direct supervision costs and direct job costs, plus the
Construction Manager’s fees or the GMP, whichever is less when the work is complete.
Invoicing shall occur monthly for completed work with 5% retainage withheld until final
completion and acceptance of all work covered in the contract documents in accordance
to the City’s General Conditions.
b) At the time of submission of a Guaranteed Maximum Price, the Construction Manager
will verify the time schedule for activities and work which were adopted and used to
determine the Construction Manager’s cost of work. In addition to the cost of work, a
GMP will include an agreed upon sum as the construction contingency which is included
for the purpose of defraying the expenses due to unforeseen circumstances relating to
construction. The Construction Manager will be required to furnish documentation
evidencing expenditures charged to the contingency prior to the release of funds by the
Owner. If bids are received below the applicable line items in the GMP, the surplus will
be added to the contingency.
c) If bids are received above the applicable line item in the GMP, the deficiency will be
taken from the contingency; however, such occurrence shall not be cause to increase the
GMP.
d) If bids are not received for a portion of the work at or below the applicable line item
amount in the GMP, the Construction Manager reserves the right to perform that portion
of the work as acknowledged by the Owner or negotiate for its performance for the
specified line item lump sum amount or less.
e) The increase or decrease in the Guaranteed Maximum Price resulting from a change in
the Project shall be determined in one or more of the following ways:
7
Attachment number 1 \nPage 23 of 27
Item # 45
i. By mutual acceptance of a lump sum properly itemized and supported by
sufficient substantiating data to permit evaluation by the Architect Engineer and
owner;
ii. By unit prices stated in the Agreement or subsequently agreed upon;
iii. If none of the methods is agreed upon, the Construction Manager, provided it has
received a signed written order by the Owner, shall promptly proceed with the
work involved. The cost of such work shall then be determined on the basis of the
reasonable expenditures and savings of those performing the work attributed to
the change. In the event a Change Order is issued under these conditions,
however, the Architect-Engineer will establish an estimated cost of the work and
the Construction Manager shall not perform any work whose cost exceeds that
estimate without prior written approval by the Owner. In such case, the
Construction Manager shall keep and present, in such form as the Owner may
prescribe, an itemized accounting together with appropriate supporting data of the
increase in the Cost of the Project. The amount of decrease in the Guaranteed
Maximum Price to be allowed by the Construction Manager to the Owner for any
deletion or change which results in a net decrease in cost will be the amount of the
actual net decrease;
iv. The Architect-Engineer will have authority to order minor changes in the Project
not involving an adjustment in the Guaranteed Maximum Price or an extension of
the Construction Completion Date and not inconsistent with the intent of the
Drawings and Specifications. Such changes shall be effected by written order.
Documentation of changes shall be determined by the Architect-Engineer.
Changes shall be approved by the Architect-Engineer.
4.2 Construction Manager’s Fee - In consideration of the performance of the contract, the
Owner agrees to pay the Construction Manager as compensation for his services, fees as set
forth below:
4.3 Preconstruction Phase Fee - shall be based on design costs if applicable, constructability
review, value engineering and fee determination of Guaranteed Maximum Price. The fee for
this phase in the amount of $ TBD shall be paid at the negotiated
price upon receipt of the Guaranteed Maximum Price.
a) Construction Phase Fee - Prior to commencement of the Construction Phase, the Owner
will direct the Construction Manager in writing to proceed into the Construction Phase.
The Construction Manager’s compensation for work or service performed during the
Construction Phase shall be a fee of $ TBD . The Construction Phase Fee shall
be invoiced and paid in $ TBD months. Payments will be remitted monthly at
the cost of $ TBD each and one final monthly payment of $ TBD .The
first monthly payment shall become due thirty days following the issuance of the first
Construction Authorization and the final monthly payment shall be paid only when
construction of the project is completed and occupancy of the project accepted by the
Owner. If construction is authorized only for a part of the project, the fee paid shall be
proportionate to the amount of work authorized by the Owner.

each day that the work to be performed by the Construction Manager remains incomplete
beyond the time limit specified herein, which sum of $ 1,000.00 per day shall only and
solely represent damages which the City has sustained by reason of the failure of the
Construction Manager to complete the work within the time stipulated, it being further
agreed that the sum is not to be construed as a penalty but is only to be construed as
liquidated damages for failure of the Construction Manager to complete and perform all work
within the time period as specified in this contract.
ARTICLE 6: INDEMNIFICATION
6.1The Construction Manager and his or its successors and assigns does hereby agree to assume
the defense of any legal action which may be brought against the City as a result of the

SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize additional funding in the amount of $160,000 for representation of the City by Smolker, Bartlett, Schlosser, Loeb and
Hinds in the matter of Bair v. City of Clearwater. (consent)
SUMMARY:
On September 5, City Council approved outside counsel representation for this case and an initial funding in the
amount of $40,000. To date, the City has gone to mediation with the Plaintiffs, which resulted in an impasse. The
additional funding in the amount of $160,000 is estimated to be sufficient to take the case through trial if necessary.
The details of the case are as follows.
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 additional funding of $160,000 is available in the City Attorney's Professional Services budget.

SUMMARY:
Instrument Transformers, Inc. (ITI), a subsidiary of General Electric Company (GE), has been in
Clearwater for 38 years. The company is currently located at 1907 Calumet St in Clearwater (also
known as 1925 Calumet Street, Clearwater) and is 190,700 SF on 17.44 acres and employs 436.
The company proposes an expansion of the facility to create a manufacturing Center of Excellence for
GE. They are creating 263 new jobs (143 of these new jobs will, on average, pay at least $41,810,
which is 100% of the Pinellas County Average Annual Wage as published by Enterprise Florida, Inc. on
January 1, 2013).
Company is proposing +/- 208,000 SF new construction and $49,000,000 in capital investment that
includes $20.6 M in Machinery and Equipment, $26.7 M in Construction, and $1.7 M in land acquisition
(which will be annexed into the City at a future date). The site plan was approved by the Community
Development Board on October 15, 2013.
Authorization to Negotiate
On August 14, 2013, City Council approved Resolution 13-21 providing authorization for the Economic
Development Director to negotiate possible incentives including tax refunds and exemptions, and cash
and non-cash incentives as an inducement to expand Project Banner’s operations in the City of
Clearwater. (Project Banner is the alias name given to the project in accordance with FS s.288.075
regarding request for confidentiality.)
The resolution required that such incentives offered to and negotiated with Project Banner must yield an
estimated payback period of no greater than 7 years with an estimated rate of return of no less than
10% as determined by economic impact analysis using Total Impact modeling by Impact Data Source.
The resolution also states the maximum cash and value of non-cash incentives is not to exceed the
value of the road improvements, fees, concessions, rebates, exemptions, waivers refunds and
reductions. Further, any agreement reached under this resolution must be brought back before the City
Council for final consideration.
An Opinion Letter was transmitted to the company on September 6, 2013, and offered the following
incentives: The Qualified Target Industry (QTI) Local Match (approved by Resolution 13-18 on August
14, 2013), cash and non-cash value of the certain proposed incentives, ED AVTE, and public service
utility tax exemption (as proposed in Ordinance 8504-13). The offer was accepted as presented.
On November 1, 2013, Economic Development and Housing received a complete and eligible
Economic Development Ad Valorem Tax Exemption (ED AVTE) application and attachment form DR-
418 from Instrument Transformers, Inc. requesting exemption of 75% for a period of 10 years. In

the Company an Economic Development Ad Valorem Tax Exemption of
seventy-five percent (75%) of the assessed value of the net increase in
qualifying improvements to real property and qualifying tangible personal
property as set forth in the Company Application, acquired by the
Company after the adoption of this Ordinance to facilitate the expansion of
its business (the “Instrument Transformers, Inc. Ad Valorem Tax
Exemption”).
(3) The Instrument Transformers Ad Valorem Tax Exemption shall be for a
period of ten (10) tax years (the “Exemption Period”), commencing with
Tax Year 2014 through Tax Year 2023. The Instrument Transformers Ad
Valorem Tax Exemption is conditioned upon the Company entering into an
agreement with the City stating that it shall remain in compliance with
Section 29.207 of the Code throughout the Exemption Period as well as
the Business Maintenance and Continued Performance provision of the
Company Application. Should the Company fail to comply with Section
29.207 of the Code or the Business Maintenance and Continued
Performance provision of the Company Application, the Council may
revoke the Instrument Transformers Ad Valorem Tax Exemption and
recover any taxes exempted during the Exemption Period pursuant to
Section 29.208 of the Code.
(4) The Company agrees to abide by the terms and conditions set forth in
Article VII of Chapter 29 of the Code, as amended from time to time, as
well as any policies and procedures enacted by the Council from time to
time related to the Economic Development Ad Valorem Tax Exemption
program. Failure to do so may result in revocation of the Instrument
Transformers Ad Valorem Tax Exemption and the City’s recovery of any
taxes exempted during the Exemption Period.
