The basic purpose of the research was to determine business perceptions of Clearwater as a place to do business and consequently gain insight into what needs to be changed and/or improved to enhance economic development and business retention. Both qualitative and quantitative research techniques were used to study the issues. In October 1996 two focus groups were con- ducted. One group was composed of business owners who had either started a new business or expanded and/or relocated an existing business within the City of Clearwater within the past year. The other focus group was composed of community business leaders who regularly interface with various city departments on behalf of commercial clients. Based on the insights gained from the focus groups, two quantitative surveys were conducted. The New/Expanded/Relocated Survey was conducted with business owners who had started, expanded or relocated a business in Clearwater within the past year. The second survey, the Business Retention Survey, was conducted with business owners that had been in business in Clearwater for three years or more. Bordner Research is grateful to the many City of Clearwater employees who provided background information and support for the research program. Without their cooperation and willingness to openly discuss relevant issues, the quality of the final research product would have suffered. Special thanks are extended to Kathy Rice, Scott Shuford and John Scott. - ii - �� � � ' '. � 1996 BUSINESS FOCUS GROUPS Prepared For: City Manager's Office City of Clearwater Prepared By: Bordner Research, Inc. 2535 Landmark Drive, Suite 109 Clearwater, FL 34621 (813) 797-6552 December 1996 - 1 - ���� � ' -. i BACKGROUND As part of its efforts to fully understand business perceptions of Clearwater as a place to do business, the City of Clearwater commissioned Bordner Research to conduct two focus groups during the third week of October 1996. One group, the business owner group, was composed of business owners who had either started a new business or expanded an existing business within the City of Clearwater during the past year. With the exception of one non- profit church, all businesses represented in the group occupied commercial office space. Care was taken to assure that a mix of business types was included in the group, including retail, service, restaurants and motel. The second group, the key informant group, was composed of community leaders who regularly interface with various city departments on behalf of commercial clients. Participants of this group included attorneys, engineers, architects, real estate brokers, land developers and commercial property managers. The overall objectives of the focus groups were: - To determine new and/or expanding business perceptions and understanding of the entire process involved in establishing a business in Clearwater; - To determine "problem" areas in the process and make recommendations for improvement; - To gain insight into the reasons behind the selection of Clearwater as a business location; - To determine relevant issues to be included in a quan- titative survey of business owners. The letters O and K are used throughout the report to identify business owner quotes and key informant quotes, respectively. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ATTITUDES There are a number of features of Clearwater that are a "draw" to businesses. Uppermost in the minds of many group participants was the perception of Clearwater as a"nice place to live." Established residence in the area and/or desire to establish residence in Clearwater were cited by many business owners as a major influence upon their decision to do business in Clearwater. Other influential factors agreed upon by group participants related to climate, beach/natural beauty, safe - 2 - �� � � ' '. � environment, population demographics, size of the city, cost of living and cost of labor pool. O- It's a nice place to live. O- Myself and my partners all live in Clearwater and we like it. We found a good piece of property and the City reacted very well to our proposed plan. It just sort of fell into place. You want to work near where you live. O- I used to live in the area and wanted to come back to where my family lives. Also it's a good place to retire ... and that day will come. R- The west coast of Florida is generally perceived as a better place to raise a family than the east coast of Florida. Businesses benefit from that perception ... less crime, fewer problems. O- We looked all over Florida for a place we wanted to live in ... and consequently do business in. We chose Clearwater because of the climate, the location and the job the local police department has done. We found this to be the most family-oriented area. You can go out walking at night and not have to worry about being mugged ... you're not looking over your shoulder all the time as you would have to do in other cities that we researched. We wanted to live here. R- Clearwater is just a nice place to live and work. It has a nice lifestyle and climate. People want to relocate their business here. 0- I had a lot of friends that lived here and would visit them all the time. I love the area ... it seems to be safe. My business depends a lot on tourist and Clearwater seems to have a longer season than some other areas ... like Ft. Myers. K- Clearwater is one of the better cities ... naturally speaking. O- Clearwater is so pretty compared to other cities. It is large enough that it supports a lot of businesses in the same type of business. It's got enough people that a business can survive in it ... and it's just so pretty. That's what keeps us here. O- Clearwater beach has a reputation as one of the renowned beaches in the country. It is a beautiful place to be and have a business. - 3 - �� � � - ', i K- Clearwater is a nice place to live. You look at the bluff ... you look at the beach ... they are a little hard to beat in terms of natural beauty. O- You'd definitely be influenced by the quietness, the beauty of the place, the police protection, the way the city functions and the beach. K- The population demographics are good here ... age and average household income ... people with disposable incomes. O- Pinellas is the most densely populated county in the state and Clearwater is the best city in Pinellas County. There are enough people to support business but it is not too big to have big city problems. It's just a neat place to live and work. R- A lot of companies would be interested It's cheaper and salaries are less ... living is less, taxes are less. in moving here. the cost of R- The business climate is easier than in the northeast because you don't have to deal with unions as much. R- It's a good market to find employees ... especially employees that will work off hours like in telemarket- ing. The City of Clearwater is not proactive in economic development. All group participants agreed that the city needs to grow and be active in pursuit of that growth. Noting that "competition for businesses is stiff" among cities, many participants felt Clearwater is lagging behind other cities. Some suggested that the City simply doesn't care about economic development and redevelopment as evidenced by the deterioration that has occurred downtown and on the beach and "anti- development" rules and regulations. Most seem to think that economic development is primarily a city responsibility and that Clearwater is not in a position to be highly selective in the type of businesses it pursues. The following comments are representative of participant opinions. O- Business is the financial backbone of the community and the City. Business needs to grow. O- Clearwater seems to have a small town mentality. The leadership seems to want to keep this a small, quiet, simple, little town. There are over 120,000 people who live here. It is not a small town ... it needs to grow. - 4 - �� � � ' '. i R- Clearwater needs to take an active position in bringing business in and not just sit back and say, "Maybe they will come here." R- A few years ago a lot of cities weren't too aggressive in trying to bring in business. Now they are aggressive ... look at Tampa ... look at St. Pete ... look at Safety Harbor and Dunedin. They are really focusing on economic development and redevelopment and I think Clearwater is way behind. The city should really concentrate on how we can get more business in here. R- Ten or fifteen years ago I thought it was antagonistic to do business with the City of Clearwater. Now I think it's just ineffectual to do business with the City of Clearwater. There simply is no leadership to make things happen in Clearwater. I contrast this, for example, with Tampa which went from an almost antagon- istic approach under Mayor Freedman to a totally pro- active roll up your sleeves go out and get business approach from Greco. That's what gets results. R- Or take the City of St. Petersburg ... which is doing better. They've got some development people down there that are really aggressively working to make things happen ... that doesn't occur in Clearwater. O- Everyone that comes to Clearwater goes to the beach ... and they go right through town to get there. We've got 60 some percent of buildings vacant in downtown and half the beach is really rundown and vacant. This is not what people are looking for when they come here. Something has to be done ... we just continue to deter- iorate. The City doesn't seem to care. O- It seems to me like the City only wants the beach for the revenue off the parking meters ... and the tax base. They do not care about the beach per se ... they have just let it go downhill. O- They don't care about downtown either ... they let that go for years. I think they are starting now to try and fix the mistake. O- A Doubletree is not going to come in and clean up every corner. We've got to help ourselves. But the regs and costs associated with doing something are a big deterrent. Say, for example, you wanted to build a business on Clearwater Beach ... it would require X amount of parking per square footage to go with it. You want to tear down a building and put up a new one you have to come up with your own parking and the City - 5 - �� � � ' '. ♦ is already taking away a third of the public parking. There is no room to meet the parking requirements so you don't renovate or build and things just get worse. K- The City of Clearwater over the past ten years has gone from a city that had a lot of underdeveloped property to a city that has a lot of old property that needs to be redeveloped. The City of Clearwater has the worst redevelopment ordinance in the entire state of Florida. They require things the State doesn't require, the county doesn't require and no other city in the area requires when it comes to drainage and other things. Let's say someone owns a 10 acre piece of property that has a 10 acre parking lot on it that has been there forever and someone else comes along and wants to put a building on it. They have to, in essence, look at that piece of property almost like it's undeveloped when it comes to retention, water quality and other things. You don't have to do that in Largo ... you don't have to do that in Belleair ... you don't have to do that in St. Petersburg ... you don't have to do that in unin- corporated areas ... and the State doesn't require you to do it. The only one that does is the City of Clear- water. So what happens? The guy who wants to build the building goes elsewhere ... and Clearwater loses an opportunity for development and things just continue to deteriorate. K- Business development and redevelopment is the city's responsibility. R- I think it's got to be a partnership among government and the private sector to work together to aggressively try to recruit and retain businesses. Currently Clear- water municipal government plays no role. They're just totally ineffective ... they should be leading the effort. R- You'l1 take anybody you can get. It is not until the land runs out that you can become selective in who you want. We're not at the point where we can be selective about anything because we have a lot to be developed and redeveloped. R- The fact is you don't want smokestack industries here but any other kind of business is fair game. K- You can attract any kind of business here. The quality of life is here ... people want to live here ... they want to work here. R- There is no reason you can't bring Fortune 500 com- - 6 - �� � � . .. � panies to Clearwater. They have CEO's who have boats and want to be on the water. The sky is the limit and at this point in our development, it should be. The in-fighting among various factions of the City is a barrier to economic development. Al1 participants agreed that there are too many factions within Clearwater "all fighting for their own interests to the exclusion of the interests of all." All group members further agreed that if the City is to move for- ward the various factions need to form a"partnership for the greater common good." O- Everybody in the city is fighting everybody else instead of working together to get the job done. Clearwater has a reputation of dissension between Clearwater Beach per se and the City proper ... and between the Chamber and the City Commission ... and between the business community and the City ... and the business community and residents. R- They certainly are territorial down in Clearwater. O- There are definitely two factions within the community ... a residential faction and a business faction. The City is far more responsive to the residential communi- ty than they are to the business community. Maybe the solution is to get more business-oriented leaders elected to the City Council ... or better yet establish a business council to represent the interests of the business community. In the long run what we need is more balance between the business community and the residential community ... more cooperation and less self-interest. Residents have a large stake in the business community whether they realize it or not ... business provides the economic base. And businesses have a large stake in residents ... residents support business and lead to business success or failure. O- The various factions in the City haven't been receptive to each other. That's got to change through better communication with each other. Everybody has to listen to everybody else and try to come up with solutions that are good for all. The problems won't go away by themselves and we can't afford to shove them under the carpet. We can't expect the city to shoulder all the responsibility for change. We have to get involved and do our part. 0- It has to be a partnership between businesses, the chambers, the residents and the City all working together toward a common goal ... listening and com- - 7 - �� � � ' '. � municating with each other ... and moving forward to make things happen. K- Every time there is an election it seems to be the business community versus the homeowners community. Nobody will stand up and say, "We need business to pay taxes because single family residences don't really pay their way by themselves ... businesses do." Clearwater lacks strong business-oriented leadership. Al1 group participants agreed. While they disagreed on where this leadership should come from, they all agreed that without it the City could not move forward. O- Dissension in community is a direct result of lack of good leadership within the City itself, its Chamber and the business community. R- We don't have any real leadership here to make things happen. We have a city manger who is not an aggressive leader. We've got a city commission that is feeling its way ... it's all new basically and it doesn't yet know how to govern. We have a mayor who is happy just plodding along as mayor. So we drift. R- Everything starts and ends with leadership. When you ask us what else can be done besides better leadership to make Clearwater more business friendly or improve the City's business practices, it is like asking, "Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?" Leadership is the key. Without it we can not get to where we need to go. Nothing is going to change until we get strong leaders. R- You need either a strong city manager or a strong mayor to make things happen. K- Under our form of government strong leadership must come from the City Manager. K- We'd probably have a better shot of getting things accomplished if we had a strong mayor type of govern- ment. O- I don't care where the leadership comes from but it needs to come from somewhere quick. R- They've hired a new economic development czar. That's a step in the right direction ... it might provide some measure of leadership. R- How is the new economic development director going to ',�:� �� � � ' -. � be effective? What is he going to do when he goes out and induces businesses to come here and they get down to central permitting and they say, "No we don't do that here ... you can t do it. A strong business , �� orientation among top leaders would filter down through city operations and ultimately result in the removal of specific barriers to business development ... but this attitude has got to come from the top. The City should become actively involved with other cities in promoting the economic development of the Tampa Bay Region. Most key informant participants agreed. The regional approach issue was not discussed with business owner participants. R- I think the City needs to get really plugged into what's happening in the Tampa Bay area in terms of business recruitment. The Tampa Bay Partnership is striving real hard to try and have a regional approach to marketing the Tampa Bay area. R- When you talk with people from out of town they think in terms of Tampa Bay. Clearwater would benefit greatly from tapping into that. We can serve our own self-interest better by tapping into the broader interest of the broader community. R- I think of Tampa Bay as a metropolis made up of communities interacting with each other. The growth in communities happens because we interact. Our best part and their best part go together. R- A regional approach gives you more assets to leverage off of in terms of development. R- I don't get that point of view. Why try to solve someone elses problems when we have our own problems that are even more immediate? PERCEPTIONS OF CLEARWATER'S BUSINESS PRACTICES Overall, the City of Clearwater has a negative attitude toward business. All group participants agreed. In general, the City was perceived as not portraying a"welcoming attitude" toward business. R- It's a general attitude thing not a specific thing ... it's a negative attitude toward business development. - 9 - �� � � ' ', i O- The current attitude is "okay so you want to be here" rather than "we really want you here." It's not one of what can we do to make this happen for you. It's more of do what we say and jump through all the hoops and if you're lucky we'l1 let you in. O- It almost seems like sometimes they don't want business to get started ... which is upside down in my head. If we have businesses we are bringing in money to the area. They should be making it easier for us to have legitimate businesses and welcoming us in. R- In the last 6 months I had a client who ended up moving their business out of Clearwater to Dade City. They were buying a piece of land in Clearwater and we went through spending close to $20,000 on architectural renderings and plans for them. We went to the City and sat down with zoning and planning and when we were done everybody kept patting them on the back and saying "yes." When the final site plan came in they were trying to vacate a road that was part of the property and could never be used by anybody and we were wiped out. So the piece of property is still sitting there and Clearwater lost a viable business that had cash to build. We had wasted $20,000 of the man's money. Why would anybody want to do business in a community like Clearwater? R- We had a viable client that was looking for a suitable site to develop 500,000 square feet of office space employing 1,000 or more people. They found several locations in Clearwater but ran into a myriad of issues with the City. They felt thwarted by the City ... there just didn't seem to be any give and take on any- thing. I mean these people weren't out to rape the land or screw the community ... they simply needed some relaxation on some things here ... nothing unreasonable. They ended up in St. Petersburg where right out of the box we had a meeting with the mayor and their economic development officer. The message from St. Pete was very clear ... we want you here and whatever you need you let us know. Clearwater doesn't even come close to that kind of attitude and it is really hurting the City. City employees need to be more customer service oriented. Many group members felt that a lot of City employees need a change in attitude from a power orientation stressing control and regulation to a customer service orientation stressing helpfulness and service. All agreed that a power orientation is counterproductive to business development and satisfaction. Businesses want to be treated with courtesy, respect and - 10 - i • � �I - -. . helpfulness. To many participants it seemed that the manner in which city employees performed their job was of equal or greater importance than the actual job employees are required to perform. R- Employees need a change in attitude. They need to be less power oriented ... less I tell you what to do, you don't tell me ... and more you are my customer what can I do to help you. R- Some people are in the wrong positions because their attitude is counterproductive. They can't handle their power. They want to control you rather than help you. They do have power and they can keep you from building the building. Oh you could sue them but that's three years down the road and 8 grand later. O- There is one building inspector out there that makes his own rules. The code book says you have to have X number of screws per square foot of drywall. He says he wants double the amount. You say the code book doesn't say this. He says, "I don't care ... that's the way I want it ... do it my way or l don't pass it." O- Building inspectors should be more in tune to the actual trials and tribulations that occur when anyone is trying to establish a new business. They shouldn't display a Gestapo attitude because they are then just making a stressful situation worse. 0- The CRT goes out with the attitude of trying to find something wrong so they can write a ticket instead of going out with a positive attitude and looking for things businesses did right and complimenting them on their achievements. O- From the City's standpoint every time someone pays a permit or a fine it is revenue for the City. So why should they change something that generates revenue? Because if they don't they are going to lose business and perpetuate deterioration which is going to hurt the City more in the long run than the fees and fines benefit the City in the short run. O- We have a flower shop and decided to hang stuff outside to dress up the place and brighten it up. The CRT came by and told us we had to take it down and they were going to give us an $85 ticket for putting stuff out on the sidewalk that was for sale. We hadn't heard of this. We begged them not to give us a ticket and asked them to send us paperwork on the rules and regulations . guidelines to go by. They sent us some photo copies that did not pertain to anything we asked for. - 11 - �� � � . .. � It ended up they didn't give us a ticket. But my point is that they should pay somebody to come out and help you be in compliance as opposed to just trying to catch you at something. K- The City seems to have an attitude of we're the govern- ment, we have the power and we can do what we want and how we want. Well somebody has got to come in that cares enough to say, "Hey, wait a minute. The only reason we are here is to serve you guys." Government needs to be more sensitive to the needs of business and work with it instead of just trying to run rough shod over it. K- I've run into two types of employees, some are really helpful ... it's like they anticipate what my next step will be and help me get to it. I have a sense they want me to get through the process. Others are like Alice in Wonderland ... it's like a joke to them that you didn't guess right and had to come back to correct things. I sense a hostility with those people and I don't know why they should be that way. O- I've come across a lot of people that seem to have gone out of their way for me only to come across someone later in the process who treats me like a criminal and destroys all the good feelings I had for the City. R- Not to defend central permitting but it would not be fair if I didn't say there have been occasions where they have, in fact, bent over backwards to make things go quickly and smoothly for businesses they viewed as being desirable. O- A helpful, customer service orientation is what is needed. Employees should not only work with us but work for us. It's not just a matter of pleasing us or treating us with respect and courtesy, it's a matter of helping us. I realize they have to work within certain rules and regulations but they can educate us on those. They can help us with those. I mean the rules are there for a reason and if we know the reason, we'll work with them and what not. If you get a really good employee who is involved and helpful, you feel a whole lot better even if things don't go the way you would like. O- Let me give you an example of an employee who was very helpful. In trying to plan our site so it is environmentally responsible our architect had to put a certain number of trees down ... you get 25$ free that you cut down. So he planned this whole thing out and - 12 - �� � � ' ', i we went into the environment department the other day and the poor guy is looking at this and he is looking at me and he's looking at the regs and he said, "You can't put 230 more inches of trees here ... in 10 years they would outgrow the building and you won't be able to move around with cars and stuff." Well this man took it upon himself to interpret the reg for me in a way that is going to work. We are going to meet the intent of the reg to be environmentally sensitive by zeroscaping our whole property ... so we trade off trees for ground cover. Now here is a guy who went out on a limb in response to me as a guy who was out on a limb already. It was the one bright spot in a very tedious process. R- Employees need to realize that problems stem not so much from what they do as they do from how they do it. They need to be friendly, courteous and helpful. Development codes are important but they need to be reasonably and realistically interpreted. All group participants agreed. While no one argued against the legitimacy of codes, many noted that there needs to be some flexibility in code inter- pretation because we do not live in a"black and white world." Reasonable interpretation of codes based on the "reality of the situation" was desired by all. O- I think it is important to have codes for safety and legitimate reasons ... even for beautification and uniformity. The point is they should be written in a policy that is understandable to business owners. Give us straight, reasonable answers and interpretations. O- I think a lot of legitimate basis. codes don't treat particularly if I sary. Help me to want me to do is the rules and codes probably have a Just because I don't know all the me like I'm dumb. Educate me, question whether something is neces- understand ... tell me why what you reasonable. O- Codes need to be reasonably interpreted and realistic- ally interpreted. If codes say you can't do something that I think is reasonable then explain to me why I can't do it so I can understand it ... so it is reasonable to me. Don't just tell me, "Because the code says so." O- I guess what I plead for is somebody with the authority to make an interpretation that is reasonable under the circumstances. We wanted a balcony in the back of our church, but it says in the state statues or the city statutes that if you have something that is available - 13 - �� � � ' -. � for the public, it must be accessible for handicapped persons. We were going to put the choir up there and not general seating, so we've got to put a wheelchair lift in there, $15,000 worth of wheelchair lift. Only the wheelchair and the person standing next to them (an ambulatory person) can ride that thing. They are the only ones allowed. There is not one person in our congregation that rides a wheelchair. And if someone comes along and wants to become a member so they can sing in our choir, I'l1 piggyback them up the stairs myself. I mean it's absolutely preposterous when you think about it ... what's the first thing they shut down in case of fire? So how is this person going to get back down to where it is safe? We wanted to have two surplus rooms on the side of this balcony and you could access them through a door and use them for storage or whatever. The most recent interpretation we've had now is when somebody said to us, "What are you going to use those two rooms for?" I said, "Storage or something like that." "Are the doors big enough for people to get through?" "Yes." "Well, a wheelchair lift isn't going to do it. Now you have to have a full size elevator to haul 6 or 8 people up at the same time, in case they want to go in those 2 rooms." Now I think this is preposterous and there should be somebody along the line who if in his heart agrees with me has the authority to say, "Forget it." O- I think the city sees things in black and white only. We all know this is a grey world we live in. I'm sorry to admit it but I'm happy to know there are problems in the house of the Lord too ... at least there is no dis- crimination against businesses in the way codes are applied. O- Clearwater has a lot of small businesses and there is nothing wrong with that ... small business is fast becoming the backbone of America. We are talking about small businesses who are struggling in many cases to put everything together so they can open. We've got to do something to eliminate the processes and rules that cost so much and are unreasonable ... we need to minimize cost to businesses and as a result maximize benefits to the welfare of the City. R- There needs to be some flexibility in the development codes. There are a lot of different communities here with different needs. You have the beach community, the downtown community and the Countryside community. Each of these should be conducted in a separate way. There needs to be some flexibility in code interpreta- tion based on the reality of the individual situation. �i�� �� � � . .. � Code interpretations constantly change in Clearwater. All group participants agreed that there was no consistency in code interpretation from one Clearwater employee to another. Many noted that this lack of consistency is very problematic for businesses because it renders code compliance difficult and can result in "unnecessary additional cost. Many expressed strong frustration with the "constantly changing rules at different points in the process." All expressed a strong desire for a simpler system in which they are "told what all the rules are up- front, without changes down the line." 0- Well if you have a set of guidelines, one would think that everyone working in the department would under- stand them and interpret them the same way. If you've got six people employed in the department, you could have potentially six different interpretations. I've seen that happen. R- On Monday one guy says something and on Thursday some- body else says something almost directly opposite to it ... and the business owner is caught in the middle. He has already spent time and money on what the first guy said and now he has to go spend more time and money on what the second guy said. It's never ending. O- We need consistency from one employee to another in code interpretation. O- When you ask the same question to two different employees you should be able to get the same answer from both. O- Depending on who you talk to at city hall, depends on what kind of answer you get for the question. Different people ... different answers. 0- That's where the real problem lies ... no one knows what the real answer is and so you can't get a straight answer on how to comply. Even if you get an answer you can't count on it because someone will come along down the line and change it. O- I know that the architect I hired for my project was down there on a number of occasions when his jaw dropped open as he heard the interpretation of things. Now this guy has been in business for a long time and he was blindsided any number of times by an interpre- tation he'd never heard before. Problem is the busi- ness owner is stuck with these changing interpretations and must comply. If you try to fight it or argue, it costs you more money to change it ... and more delays. - 15 - �� � � • •, i R- Clearwater central permitting is not user friendly. You submit a plan and it goes through review by the city bigwigs and you get a permit. They might make a few minor adjustments but then they sign off and you go into construction. Then you get a building inspector that has never seen the plans who becomes a little dictator out there and says, "Oh no you've got to do this and that." So you call up the building director and say, "You guys reviewed the plans ... why are your inspectors coming back and saying now we've got to do this?" Well, you can't even get the building director to return a phone call and then you ask to speak to someone under him but they are afraid to make a decision. So you're stuck dealing with the inspector and there is nothing you can do about it. It causes like a two month delay on the littlest tiniest job. They come in at the last second and say you've got to tear the walls out ... you've got to put this many more outlets in. So you do it. Then they come back when the project is all finished and say, "Oh, you've got to raise all the counters up ... they forgot to tell you that." It's all a matter of interpretation. If inspectors are going to have so much say so then put them in charge of the initial review and make them sign off. This situation is very unique to Clearwater. Pinellas Park is the easiest place to do business. You can talk to anybody down there and they will tell you what to do. It doesn't change the next day. This is exactly the way Clearwater needs to be. O- It's like a crapshoot dealing with the City ... you just don't know what they are going to come up with next. Instead of making a simple drawing that would have been $500, it cost me $2,200 for drawings. Instead of leaving the electrical the same as it was for the previous owner, the City said it had to be completely revamped ... a job that should have been about $2,000 ended up to be $7,500. That's because different city workers keep changing their interpreta- tion of the codes at different points throughout the process. All these things really add up. You've got to have a constant ... they've got to start telling you what you need to do up-front and stop changing their minds down the line. K- The problem is you don't have clear guidelines. I'm very simple ... tell me what to do and I'll do it ... tell me I can't do it and I won't do it. But don't lead me to believe I can do something then have me stepped on when I get to a process point when I've spent my client's money. - 16 - �� � � ' -. � O- The City defines the rules and knows what they are ... we have to comply with the rules. Tell me what they are up-front and I will comply, but don't keep changing the rules on me down the road. R- Just tell me up-front what I need to do ... tell me what the criteria are and don't keep changing the rules on me. City employees do not make decisions and coiamit to them. Many group participants expressed frustration at city employee reluctance to make decisions and commit to them "early on so businesses could move forward." Several suggested the reluctance to commit to decisions was a natural outgrowth of a government culture which promotes "cover your ass" behavior. Many group participants noted a sense of being shuffled from department to department while attempting to get decisions made. All agreed there needs to be some central authority who will "make decisions and stand behind them," at both the policy level and the opera- tional level. K- It's not just deal reasonably with business, it's deal period. Somebody has got to make a decision and say something except "Well, we will table this for the next commission workshop or the next three months." Business can't afford that and neither can the City. R- They've got to start making some decisions and commit to them. It drives you crazy when on Tuesday they tell you your plan is okay and then the next week they have something new for you to do on your plan. It just keeps changing and changing. It's a moving target that is very costly to businesses ... both time and money. O- Decisions need to be made on the spot without saying, "Well, we'll have to think about it for two or three weeks." O- Employees won't stand behind their decisions. You'll be talking with someone and they'll make a decision that affects your business and they won't even give you their name. That offends me. They're trying to cover their ass in case someone else comes along and make a different decision. I'm trying to get a decision commitment so I can move on. K- You can't get anybody to sign anything down there. Here's what I want to do. All I want is your signature on this piece of paper so when I come in next week you will still have the same opinion. R- The big problem is with the government. - 17 - i � � �I - -. . They won't make a decision because they just want to cover their ass. They are not willing to accept responsibility for their words or their actions. 0- If you talk to one department and ask a question they say, "That's not my department, you need to call so and so." So you call so and so and they say, "No, that goes back to ..." This happens a lot more than it should. R- You have all these different departments trying to tell you what to do and oftentimes telling you contradictory things to do. Getting through it all is like trying to push a piece of cooked spaghetti up the stairs. They need a person in charge who brings everything together and can make decisions so you can move on. O- There is no clear focused point where I can talk to somebody and be sure that's the way it's going to be. R- I'd like to see a manager in every department that says, "Yes, I'm going to stand behind what I say." This is what needs to be done. K- You need a decision maker in charge. Someone from who you can get definitive answers. You may not like all the answers you get but at least you're going to get an answer that you can count on ... and then you move on down the road. Time is important to businesses, but not to the City. All participants agreed that "time is of the essence" to them in trying to establish a business and delays in the City's response are very costly in terms of anxiety and dollars. Several group members suggested that city employees have no concept of what time means to businesses. One business owner suggested that cross-training employees in "simple tasks" would improve the City's occupational licensing response time. O- We want to get the business open ... we want to get everything in line because the quicker we get the doors open that's when we start making our profits and paying our debt ... so you can't sit around and wait. You need fast response from the City. K- Time doesn't mean anything to the City. They don't have any concept of what it costs when you punt something for two weeks or months. They don't have any idea. O- I called the CRT and got an answering machine. I left a message on the answering machine and got a callback 9 - 18 - �� � � . ., � days later. If I'm in violation, I've got a 9 day violation in that instance. O- It took three weeks for us to get our license from the City. We are still wondering if they sent it by carrier pigeon: I had to call three times and each time I was told "it's in the mail." Three weeks later it finally shows up. In the meantime we were frantic. We didn't have a license on the wall and we were trying to operate. "Are we going to get busted or fined? What's going to happen if we're caught?" O- I sent some plans up there and it usually takes about 7 to 10 working days to get a response. I was told that since they were backed up it was going to be 21 to 28 working days. That's not a month to a business person ... it's a month and a half. And I was paying $3,000 a month at the location. I said, "That's going to cost me a fortune!" The response was like too bad, there is nothing we can do about it. They just didn't care about the impact of the delay to me. O- It's not my fault the city employees get backed up and are slow to respond. If you come into my restaurant and want a pizza or a plate of pasta it usually takes 15 minutes to be served. I can't tell you, "I'm sorry ... I'm backed up and it will take 4 hours." You're not going to stay there ... you are going to walk out. So I have to plan to make sure it's going to be served in 15 minutes. I don't know what the solution is for the City but they need to do something to get response time minimized. 0- I think they need to cross-train their employees in the licensing department for simple tasks. That would help a lot and cut down on some hard feelings. Al1 I wanted to do was change the address of our existing business license because we relocated. I saw the receptionist five times ... go see this person and then go see the receptionist and she'll direct you to the next person ... go back to the receptionist ... go see this person ... then go back to the receptionist. I mean one person should have been able to do the whole thing. I never understood why I had to keep going back to the receptionist. At minimum I should have gone direct from one person to another ... I mean they are all in the same room. The costs of fees, permits, licenses, deposits and delays are a deterrent to business development in Clearwater. All group participants agreed that the costs of ineeting City requirements "add up and place a real burden on many businesses." Several - 19 - �� � � - -. ► suggested that the City was trying to generate revenue without understanding the full impact such an attitude has on businesses. Many business owners noted that the initial costs of ineeting city requirements severely limited their ability to upgrade and renovate their properties. Several key informant participants noted that Clearwater requires fees "for things" other areas do not. All seemed to agree that with respect to monetary costs alone, Clearwater is making it "difficult to do business here and driving businesses away." O- When they tell you that you have to pay fees for things you know are unnecessary it's very frustrating. They say, "Oh, it will only cost you $200 or so." I know that sounds like peanuts when overall you are investing $100 -$150 thousand dollars, but all these fees keep adding up to major bucks. It can become cost prohibitive to do business here. O- It's hard as a new business person because we are all broke and we need to start making money and we keep getting hit with all these fees and delays. O- In addition to everything else you have to pay, utility deposits are a real burden on new businesses. O- We were told by the realtor and the former owner that we'd have small deposits to pay. One of them was $2,000. If that's small, I'm crazy. It was quite a shocker. O- We haven't had our gas turned on because our pool heater is busted. Yet they keep charging us every month $30 or $65 to send a man out to read a meter that has not changed. That's ridiculous. they are just trying to generate revenue ... they don't care what the reality is. O- I'd like to know how the heck they calculated all those fees and deposits. It's like they make them so high so you won't have a chance of succeeding. O- After paying for our license and paying deposits on the electric, the gas, the oil, the milk, the cow, the chicken and everything else that might come across the street in front of our motel, we can't afford to do renovations. 0- I've had some experience building businesses in other cities so I pretty much know what needs to be done and approximately what it should cost. I hired a good architect down here who was very well known in the - 20 - �� � � ' '. ♦ city. We figured it would cost about $30,000 to upgrade and meet the codes. It ended up costing $60,000 ... that is $30,000 over and above what was expected. It was all because of these small regulations and delays imposed by the City for things any reasonable person would know were unnecessary. That was money that could have been better spent on making the building look really good but instead it went into satisfying some stupid archaic bylaws of the City. R- Clearwater is the only city that requires a park line. fee for commercial development ... something like 4$. Roger's Real Pit Barbecue on Belcher almost didn't go into business because it cost them $16,000 just for park lines. And they couldn't put a drive-up window in because it would cost them another $40,000 in traffic impact. R- Traffic impact fees are also a problem. To build a 10,000 square foot building it costs you $26,000 in the City of Clearwater ... and then it goes into general revenue. It's nonsense ... it doesn't even go to solve traffic problems. It's just a revenue generator. K- We need to quit looking at the guy who wants to come here as somebody you can rape to get fees out of. We need to figure out how you can make it easier for him and less costly for him to move here. You'l1 make it up in the end with an increased tax base and more vibrant economy. R- The system for land development per se in Clearwater stinks. For every property or acre you have to go and see the commission and you have to spend a couple or three months just to obtain a site. Clearwater wants a certified site plan ... nobody else wants a certified site plan except the city of Clearwater. This costs money. We need to look at plans for development more efficiently to make sure they meet the rules, the zoning rules, the drainage rules, and this and that. Then pat the guy on the back and thank him for bringing his business to Clearwater. We need to make it easier to do business here not more difficult. If not, we'll lose out to other areas that are making it easier. - 21 - �� � � ' '. ♦ WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE The City needs to be run like a business both in terms of attitude and structure. All participants agreed. The welcoming, customer service orientation desired by businesses has been previously noted in this report. Several participants in each group suggested that the structure of city operations needs to be altered so the first contact a new business or prospective new business has with the City is a decision-maker rather than a lower level employee. Most seemed to feel that a"change in structure" would maximize "first impressions." O- The City should be run like a business ... both attitude and structural wise. They should have definitive goals for the short term and long term. They should treat business people with respect and courtesy ... and go out of their way to be helpful. O- They need to develop an attitude of running the city like a business from both a policy perspective and the perspective of running city services. O- One of the things I've noticed about the city is that they seem to jump into things head first before think- ing ... Harborview Center, the library system, the police building. Not a single one of us has ever started a business doing that ... not a successful business. For this town to be successful they cannot have that kind of thinking anymore. After all someone has to pay for all that ... and a lot of it falls on the business person in the form of fees, licenses and taxes. R- Employees need to be problem solvers and process expeditors. The correct attitude would be ... you come in and say I'd like to do this and they would say, "I don't think you can do it that way but I think you can do it this way." O- When you are getting a permit or license you are in and out to see the receptionist more than you see anyone else. Oftentimes this person is your main contact ... or your first contact, so it needs to be a person who is very knowledgeable, informative and helpful ... more so than you typically think of a receptionist as being. Actually this person should probably not be your first contact. R- New businesses that know nothing about Pinellas County and the City of Clearwater are directed to a city staff - 22 - �� � � ' '. � person ... their first involvement is with a city staff person. That is absolutely the worst person that should be the first contact ... someone who doesn't see the larger picture or have any decision-making authori- ty. K- Businesses are oftentimes directed to central permit- ting. I've had several out of town clients that didn't bother to see us first. They decided to go down and do their own thing with the City. They talked to a low level staff person in central permitting and it scared the hell out of them and they weren't going to do anything in Clearwater because of it. So we had to tell them they talked to the wrong guy and take them by the hand and try to salvage the situation. Why they direct people to those certain people down there is just beyond me. R- The first contact is often with a low level staff person. If that person is not smiling, friendly and welcoming then you're not going to do any business. If that person spouts off all the rules and regulations, you're going to be overwhelmed and not want to do any business. What happens to somebody who wants to relocate to Clearwater is the first thing they hear is all the stumbling blocks. There is nobody there to help them get started or want them. So the perception is "we don't want you." But there are cities all over the country and in the local area that handle things differently. First contact should be with a decision- maker ... an official who has some clout and authority to say "we want you and let me help." There needs to be more open communication between Clearwater's leaders and businesses. Al1 participants seemed to agree that for positive changes to take place, business owners need direct access to and open communication with the City's decision-makers. Decision-makers need to listen to business owners, understand their needs and "act accordingly." O- The City needs to know and understand what business needs are. There needs to be some mechanism for letting government leaders be aware of business needs ... a constant feedback procedure. This research project we're participating in is a good start. R- Business needs to have direct access to leadership and decision-makers. R- City leaders need to have direct contact with developers and business owners ... to talk with them one-on-one and hear what they are saying. - 23 - �� � � - -. � K- The economic development person or other city official should go visit every business and find out how the City is doing. They did it in Largo and it was the greatest PR thing in terms of retention and caring. The only guy that shows up in Clearwater is the inspector and he's going to give you a ticket for some- thing. O- Maybe there should be a business advisory council that meets with city officials on a periodic basis to let the city know what is on the business community's mind. R- I think we need a business retention program. On a systematic basis a city official should visit each business starting with the biggest employers in the municipality that could move out and work their way down to the smaller businesses. Go spend time with those that could move out. Just say, "How are things going? Do you have any problems with the City? What can we do to help out?" R- Businesses are synergistic. Get together with groups of businesses that are in town to figure out what the problems are and how to make it a user friendly town. Then implement business suggestions that make sense. At that point business owners will start telling other businesses to stay as well as telling others this is a good place to do business in. This is the way to create a foundation of building. There needs to be an ombudsman to guide businesses through the permitting process. Al1 business owners enthusiastically agreed that there should be a specialized person within the system "steering them in the right direction" and working on their behalf to resolve problems. Several suggested that "entry guidance" programs in the form of seminars would also be useful. Reaction to an ombudsman was mixed among key informant partici- pants. O- There needs to be a person to help business out through the red tape and help resolve legitimate problems we are having with city services and licensing and permitting. O- There should be a new business ombudsman ... a person who is paid directly to help us. A person to tell you how to do things and what is required ... a person to solve problems so when we stub our toe or run into a recalcitrant clerk there is a knowledgeable person inside the system who knows the personalities and has a direct line to getting things cleared up. - 24 - �� � � ' '. � O- There needs to be a person in the city that knows the system inside and out and who not only works with you but for you ... helping you rather than looking for problems ... a kind of ombudsman sort of person. O- As it is now you have to fight for everything yourself. It is like pulling teeth to get the City to correct a mistake even when they know they are being unfair. We took over a building that had used gas. We didn't need gas so we had the lines capped off. It took over three months of frustration to get the gas meter usage off our bill. We were being charged for the gas meter that was outside our building and disconnected! They wouldn't remove the meter without the building owner's permission and kept charging us until they got it. Eventually they rebated the charges but it took three months of hell and fighting. If we didn't pay while waiting for the owner's permission to remove the meter, they were going to shut down our other utilities and effectively put us out of business. Somebody inside the system needs to fight these battles for you and solve ridiculous problems like this. O- One of the things I think will be helpful to anybody trying to start a business and getting permitting from the City is to provide entry guidance. Right now people just guess their way through permitting ... they do it on a wing and a prayer. O- Why can't they offer a three hour seminar say once a month for new businesses or those that need to go through the permitting process. They could have say four officials come in and say, "Here are some of the problems you may have and here is how to deal with them." They could also answer questions and tell you what you can do to get through the process. R- There needs to be a centralized person with special knowledge that knows the rules and process that says, "I know this is complex for you. I'm here to walk you through this thing. We want you here." K- I don't think Clearwater is big enough or complex enough that you have to have a full-fledged ombudsman per se ... but I've been around for a long time and know the system. It probably would be helpful for newcomers, but I really can't judge. The City should streamline the permitting process and make it easier. All group participants agreed that the current permitting process is far too cumbersome. Many noted businesses have to bear an additional cost "to hire someone to get them - 25 - �� � � • •. i through the process." All felt that City processes for permitting should be fully reviewed and "archaic rules and regulations" eliminated. O- Everything you have to do with the City is cumbersome. Let me tell you what I had to go through just to put a canopy up ... engineer drawings, specifications on the lug nuts, consideration of the tributary area, anticipated load totals, safety factors, frame to be fastened ... oh gee, I couldn't believe it. In the end it cost me $2,000 more than I had estimated based on what my engineer projected. O- We had a canopy which we took down because the canvas was ripped, but the structure remained. To put a canvas back up over the existing structure, we would have to go through engineering and pay that cost. I said forget it ... something is wrong here. It sure looks nice to have the structure without the canopy ... it's making a real contribution to the beautification of my store as well as the City: Ha! O- I think you just feel like you are fighting City Hall constantly ... the problem you have getting permits or getting inspections ... the pickiness of some of the inspections ... and just everything is so cumbersome. It's a bad situation that needs to be made easier. I saw a bumper sticker the other day that really hit the nail on the head ... "It's easier to get welfare than a building permit." That's sad, but true. O- We have been in the process of planning this new church for 7 years. For various reasons we were delayed from one point in the process to another. I think it was all 7 departments in City Hall we had to pass muster with. I've struggled with these people for years. Every time we have gone in, different people have shown up and looked at our plans and we've had to change this or that. we have changed our plans with the site engineer alone I think about 6 times and every time it costs us $300 for the new plan and then another month before you get a chance to defend that. There has got to be a better and more efficient way of doing things. R- Most businesses that come here are small and don't have much sophistication or knowledge about the process they will have to go through to establish a business in Clearwater. So they hire brokers and architects and engineers to get them through the process and explain everything to them. - 26 - �� � � ' '. � O- If you are building in Clearwater it is particularly important to pick your contractor and architect not just on quality and price but also on whether they have been in the area and know how the infrastructure works ... someone who has a reputation for being able to wend you through the process. Of course, you pay more for this. R- I think most businesses have some general knowledge of the process before they start. What they don't know is how restrictive it's going to be or how long it might take and how much money it's going to cost. The first thing you are told is you have to hire someone to help or you are never going to get it done. O- You should not have to pay more just to get through. The process should be simple enough to be understand- able to owners themselves. O- Streamline the permitting process. You know being new it's rather scary and very, very time consuming and cumbersome. R- They need to streamline the process and make it easier. Take for example what Jim Smith did with respect to homestead exemptions. Used to be everybody had to apply year after year. Jim Smith said this is wrong, because little old ladies who were sick and couldn't get down there were losing their exemption. The process as it was was penalizing 98$ of the people for 2� of the bad guys. So Smith made a change. Now you apply one time for homestead exemption and you've got it forever. It's the citizens responsibility to notify his office of a change and if they don't Smith will prosecute. In essence Smith made a change that told the bad guys he will get them but at the same time made the process easier for the good guys. R- They've got to figure out what can be cut out of the process that they absolutely don't have to have and get rid of it. They need a longer view of life taking away, for example, the park fees on commercial develop- ment. They need a long view ... that we are going to do better if we get these commercial developments here than if we drive them away. R- We don't need rules that don't make sense. When you ask city employees why you have to do something, they can't answer you. Give me 10 simple rules that make sense and I'll follow them. Just give them to me. O- Get rid of archaic rules and regulation ... make it - 27 - �� � � ' -. ♦ easy for me to do business here. R- The City should go through a thorough examination of the development regulations in this town and figure out which are the ones it really doesn't need ... that are thorns in the side of people ... and get rid of them. O- I think some people in Central Permitting want to be helpful but unfortunately their hands are tied with some of the archaic laws they have. They agree with me on what I want to do but say I can't do it because of the codes that they admit are ridiculous. You can't run a place like that ... I wouldn't run my business like that. If I had problems that presented barriers to my customers, I'd straighten them out. The City should do the same. O- We need some type of business review committee to review on a periodic basis the City codes ... which ones should apply ... which ones should be antiquated and thrown out. O- We need to review these codes and answer why this code exists and what was the original reason for it. We need to determine whether or not there is a true need for each regulation on the books. If not, throw it out. O- There needs to be something set up periodically to review these things. Then antiquated rules and codes can be thrown out because they don't make sense in today's business world. O- Codes and regulations should be reviewed. Those that no longer apply from a cost effective standpoint should be eliminated. If the cost of the regulation to a particular business'exceeds the reality of the success that regulation would have on it, then there is no need for the regulation. They should take into account costs associated with it ... what pluses do we get if we implement the regulation, what does it cost the City and the business, and is it worth it. On a broader scale, the City should take a long range view of business and eliminate departmental practices that are anti- business. Beyond the problems identified with Central Permit- ting, group participants seemed to feel that Clearwater engages in some practices that make it hard for business to succeed. Of particular concern to participants were policies and practices related to parking, signage and trash collection. O- Clearwater needs to stop creating mountains businesses � �� � � ' '. i have to climb to start and stay in business. R- The City needs to take a look at all departments and how their policies may be effecting business develop- ment. For example, when Sid Klein's department gives $15 parking tickets at 10 minutes to 6 on Friday night, that hurts people coming downtown and it hurts business. O- Get rid of parking meters downtown ... it's keeping people away from the area and hurting business. O- God forbid you want to put a sign on your business to advertise it to let anybody know you are here! K- Signage criteria are a big concern of all my tenants. Clearwater's signage ordinances are the worst I've ever heard. R- I think the signage changes have helped the City as far as looks go ... aesthetic. But it has hurt businesses and the people trying to find and locate them. R- Signage is a real problem for the small business person. Everyone knows where the massive retailers and food organizations are and their signs are adequate. But how about the small little business guy who really doesn't have name recognition and who wants to be found. It's very difficult for the small business person ... more than it is for Arby's or Firestone. R- One of the biggest complaints I hear from businesses is the cost of removing trash. It's their highest utility. The City has a monopoly. Even if you tried to reduce your volume and went to a compactor, you'd have to go to an outside vendor and still pay a fee to the City. It's just charge upon charge that drives businesses crazy. R- The City of Clearwater is the only place I know where you can't get competitive prices on trash removal. They have a monopoly and aren't going to let it go because it's pure and simple a revenue generator. R- It's a fair point then to say that if other municipali- ties aren't doing it, that's a reason for somebody to pick someplace other than Clearwater. Perhaps this is another impediment to business that needs to be reviewed in terms of long range goals ... another impediment to get rid of. - 29 - �� � � ' '. � 1996 NEW/EXPANDED/RELOCATED BUSINESS SURVEY Prepared For: City Manager's Office City of Clearwater Prepared By: Bordner Research, Inc 2535 Landmark Drive, Suite 109 Clearwater, FL 34621 (813) 797-6552 December 1996 - 30 - �� � � ' -. i BACKGROUND As part of its efforts to fully understand business perceptions of Clearwater as a place to do business, the City of Clearwater commissioned Bordner Research to conduct a scientifically-valid research study of businesses that had started new, expanded or relocated in the City within the past year. A random sample of 124 businesses meeting these criteria were surveyed during the first three weeks of November 1996. The sampling frame was based on City records of utility activations within the past year. Only these businesses that occupy commercial space were included in the sample. To ensure quality data all respondents were business owners or senior managers who had direct responsibility for starting, expanding or relocating their respective businesses in Clearwater. The overall objectives of the research were: - To determine the reasons behind the selection of Clearwater as a business location; - To determine new and/or expanding business perceptions of Clearwater itself; - To determine new and/or expanding business perceptions and understanding of the entire process involved in establishing a business in Clearwater; - To determine "problem" areas in the process and make recommendations for improvement; - To determine overall satisfaction with the City's business practices; - To quantify the findings of previously conducted focus groups. All data were coded and verified prior to computer processing. Data presentation is in the form of banner tables which provide findings for the sample as a whole as well as subgroup breakouts based on class, type of business, size and location. Caution should be exercised in the interpretation of some subgroup data due to small sample sizes.

Businesses located downtown and on the beach were more likely than those located elsewhere in the city to express strong agreement on this issue. - An overwhelming majority (94.3$) agreed that Clearwater needs strong business-oriented leadership from elected officials and top city managers if it is to move forward, with two-thirds (67.7�) strongly agreeing. - Nine in ten business owners (90.3$) agreed that in addition to focusing efforts on the economic development of Clearwater itself, the City should be- come actively involved with other cities in promoting economic development of the Tampa Bay Region.

I I LO N Q p p - 49 - Perceptions of Clearwater As A Business Friendlv City - A majority (56.5�) of business owners thought Clearwater was business friendly. Service businesses and those located in the Countryside area were more likely than their respective counterparts to hold this opinion. - Perceptions of business friendliness were largely based on the following: I have had no problems with the City (37.1$), city employees are helpful (34.3�) and city employees are friendly/polite (22.9$). - Two in five business owners (41.9�) thought Clearwater was not business friendly. Interestingly, businesses that had expanded within the past year were more likely than new and relocating businesses to express this opinion. , - Major reasons cited for perceptions of unfriendliness were too many rules and regulations/red tape (38.5g), restrictive sign ordinances (21.2$), anti-business attitude (15.4$), city employees not cooperative (15.4$), lack of strong leadership (11.5$), abuse of authority by city employees (11.5�), permitting process problems (11.5$) and too many costs/fees (11.5�). - When asked what should be done to make Clearwater more business friendly, business owners offered a variety of suggestions. Key suggestions included get a pro business attitude (16.9�), streamline the permitting process (12.9g), relax sign ordinances (12.9$), con- sistency in code interpretation (11.3�), revise/elimin- ate archaic codes (11.3�), and implement a development plan (11.3g). - Of the 37.9 percent of business owners who made additional comments at the conclusion of their inter- view over thirty percent (31.9�) said, "Clearwater needs to be more business friendly." - A majority (56.4$) of business owners agreed that while establishing their business in Clearwater they sometimes felt the City was working against them rather than with them. - Over sixty percent (62.9�) agreed that sometimes they think the City is more interested in generating revenue through fees and fines than in helping businesses get established and succeed, with forty percent (39.5�) expressing strong agreement. - 50 - i � � �I - -. . - Further, a substantial majority (85.5�) agreed that there needs to be a change in attitude among city employees from one that thinks of businesses as entities to be regulated and ignored to one that thinks of businesses as customers that need to be helped and served. Almost one-half (48.4g) of business owners expressed strong agreement on the need for a change in attitude. - Almost all (98.4$) agreed that City codes and rules should be reasonable and make sense in light of their impact on business and economic development, with a majority (56.5�) in strong agreement with this issue. - Four in five business owners (80.6�) agreed that many of the problems one might encounter in starting or expanding a business in Clearwater are not unique to Clearwater but rather are found in most other cities. - 51 - �� � � ' -. \ Y � C � H Z N � m W N Q O J \ C W 2 a a x 3 Z � � Y J Z rWr � N N W H � m K W H Q 3 C a c.� J Z V �1 Y 2 �-+ U = � H W � N O w > C 1' c�- G Z W 0 J Q � m �O 0 Q m F- Q I I c i M O O� �O 1 1 O O 1 I w I M � � .

Another thirty percent (29.8�) said they fully understood the process and what they would need to do. The remainder (41.9�) indicated they had general knowledge of the process but were un- familiar with the details. - Exactly one-half (50.0�) of the business owners stated that there were certain points in the process they found to be especially problematic and/or troublesome. - Major problem areas identified were process time consuming/slow (30.6�), occupational licensing slow (17.7g), restrictive sign ordinances (17.7�), lack of process guidance (14.5�), grand opening sign rules (12.9$), too many rules and regulations (12.9$) and zoning changes hard/slow (11.3�). - While an overwhelming majority (95.9$) of business owners think it is important for the City to have codes and rules regarding commercial construction and land use, only one-half (50.8�) agreed that Clearwater commercial building codes, rules and regulations are clearcut and not subject to widely varying interpre- tation. - Four in ten business owners (40.3�) agreed that when starting, expanding or relocating their business in Clearwater they often felt they were shuffled from department to department with no employee willing to make a decision. - Almost all (98.4�) agreed they want to be told upfront what they need to do to comply with City codes and regulations ... that they want City employees to commit to their decisions early on and not change the require- ments later on down the road. - An overwhelming majority (96.8�) also agreed that City employees need to realize that delays in permitting and approvals are very costly to business, with a majority (57.3�) expressing strong agreement on this issue. - An overwhelming majority (95.2$) agreed that the City should provide potential new businesses with detailed printed material that fully explains the regulations, procedures and processes businesses will need to go .. �� � � . .. � through to establish a business in Clearwater. - Many (82.2�) also agreed that the City should have a special person assigned to guide businesses through the process of starting or expanding a business in Clearwater. - 67 - �� � � ' '. � Y � C.' � N W Z � m C W H Q O J W C W Z Q G.

BACKGROUND As part of its efforts to fully understand business perceptions of Clearwater as a place to do business, the City of Clearwater commissioned Bordner Research to conduct a scientifically-valid research study of businesses that had been operating in Clear- water for three years or more. A total of 105 randomly selected established businesses were surveyed during the second two weeks of November 1996. The sampling frame was based on City occupa- tional license records. Only those businesses that occupy commercial office space were included in the sample. In-home businesses were not surveyed. Al1 respondents were business owners. The overall objectives of the research were: - To determine the importance of various factors upon decisions to locate a business in Clearwater; - To determine established business perceptions of Clear- water as a place to do business, especially those related to economic development and business friendliness; - To determine overall satisfaction with City services and the likelihood of business retention. All data were coded and verified prior to computer processing. Data presentation is in the form of banner tables which provide findings for the sample as a whole as well as subgroup breakouts for years in business, type of business, size and location. Caution should be exercised in the interpretation of some sub- group data due to small sample sizes. For the purposes of research a small business was defined as one with less than 5 full time employees, a medium business was defined as having 5 to 49 full time employees, and a,large business as having 50 or more full time employees. Tables with an asterisk (*) beside the table number indicate questions which permitted multiple response and consequently column percentages do not total 100 percent. - 95 - �� � � ' '. i FINDINGS Selection of Clearwater As a Business Location Respondents were read a list of factors that might be considered in the decision to locate a business in Clearwater and asked to identify how important of an influence each might be in the location decision-making process, using a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being not important at all and 10 being very important. IMPORTANCE IN SELECTION DECISION Nice place to live Climate/weather Natural beauty/beach Safe environment Population demographics Cost of living compared to elsewhere Right size (not too large or small) Cost labor pool compared to elsewhere PERCENT R.ATE 10 41.0 49.5 46.7 30.5 21.9 18.1 20.0 11.4 MEAN SCORE 8.3 8.2 8.0 8.0 7.4 7.4 7.2 6.6 - The perception of Clearwater as a nice place to live was seen as a prime influencer on the decision to locate a business here, with over three-fourths (78.2�5) rating this "asset" 8 or above. - Approximately seven in ten business owners rated climate/weather (74.3�), natural beauty/beach (73.4�) and safe environment (69.5$) 8 or better. As expected, businesses located on the beach tended to give slightly higher ratings of importance to natural beauty/beach than businesses located elsewhere in the City. - With the exception of cost of labor pool (rated 8 or above by 35.2�), a majority of business owners rated all other factors about which they were queried as important influencers in the business location decision. - Four in five business owners (81.0$) were unable to think of any other features of Clearwater that might be a draw to businesses. However, the data do suggest that Clearwater's good infrastructure and its central- ized location in Tampa Bay may be positive influencers. .� �� � � - -, i Y > C � N Z � H Z W H W C W Z N 7 m W H a 3 Q J 6.1 �O � w > J 0 H W V Q J U W 2 M H 2 2 W u u � z 6 4 W H W Q C 1 L d' c- .� W 2 W C J LL d' m I� m H � i i i � i C i f� O e-- I� � f� N.t N�t c- f� N�t 00 �O I I 2 I M O N N V1 v1 � � � � I I h- I Q � � � I I O I e-- N � I I I 1 p. i op O O O r- �n a- u� OI O N O � u� M �n � I � I . . � I I I O � � 1/� N f� I I fn I � N � M I I � I � I 2 I � O I I I 1 } I O� O O O O O � � .t 1 � N N i H i � � . . � � i ¢ i H i O � � . . i o i u i � � � � � N I J I I I I�O O � a0 N�O N�O �O f� CO N N�O tn f� I I Y- I M . . . 1 I G I O N V� v1 �O N �n � c- 1 1 I' p r N � I 1 I � I 1 I 1 I � i 2 i u'i O � f� O O O O � 1� v� M M O v� M I I U 1 . . . , I 1 Q I � O �p `p M � � I I m I � M N M I I 1 w I M O O O O O � M O O N f� O O O O i i � i . . . , i i ae i O . .

Slightly over one-fourth (26.7�) said Clearwater's overall business environment was average, and 27.6 percent felt it was below average. - A majority (56.2�) of business owners agreed that Clearwater was lagging behind other local cities such as St. Petersburg and Tampa in business development. Businesses located on the beach were most likely to express strong agreement on this issue. - Almost all business owners (97.2�) agreed that Clearwater needs strong business-oriented leadership from elected officials and top city managers if it is to move forward, with a majority (54.3$) strongly agreeing. - Nine in ten business owners (91.4�) agreed that in addition to focusing efforts on the economic develop- ment of Clearwater itself, the City should become actively involved with other cities in promoting the economic development of the Tampa Bay Region. - When asked specifically what needs to be done or changed to enhance business development in Clearwater, business owners offered a variety of suggestions. Major responses were as follows: be more business friendly (23.8$), renovate downtown and beach (22.9$), less restrictive rules and regulations (17.1�) and continue growth/road improvements (15.2�) - Many of these same suggestions were reiterated by respondents at the conclusion of the interview. Of the 30.5 percent of respondents who made additional com- ments, most frequently cited comments were Clearwater needs stronger business-oriented leaders (37.5$), the City needs to be more business friendly (34.4�), downtown and the beach need to be redeveloped/beauti- fied (21.9�), there needs to be fewer restrictive codes and regulations (18.8�) and Clearwater needs to implement a development plan (15.6�). - Three-fourths (75.2$) of business owners stated there was a sufficiently large qualified labor pool in the area to meet their employment needs. Businesses located in the Countryside area tended to be less likely to hold this opinion than businesses located in other areas of Clearwater. - 106 - �� � � ' '. � > W i _ N 2 O H Z H � N Z y � m C W H Q 3 � 6 W J U � O� O� N H W Z H � m J a > O W H 6 3 O S � N W � ~ H 3 H � U Q W C J U W U H H � � 0 S O � u F 2 � W N z O w a z ¢ a .. � � O 2 w u w z w G J � m N O C m � Q i i ¢ i 1� O M � I� O� f� P �D N s W I I W 1 M r I I 2 I � CO V1 � �O 0 I I H I O �T r � r I I � I � I I I i O� 1 a0 O � in �t O N O ��n O O i i � i • I I I O N O V� N I I fn I O � ✓� N � I I � I � I Z 1 i � i Y i U O O O �O 1� M M O O O O i H i z i • • • I U I Z 1 S �O M i O I u i � I J I I I I�O O �t c- O� O O a0 f� �t �O I� I I H I M • • r • • • I I C I p � V� 1� O� �O I I I O � N N � � I 1 I � 1 1 I I S I v� O N M N M �O O �t h �!� I I U I r i � a i g M M o .o .o I I W I � � �t N I I m 1 � I I I W 1 M O O O � M O O N f� O O I I Q 1 O M • �O I I J I � I I I W I � 1 �O O N h N N V1 N V� N N 1� I rNi I C I N O f� ��D O� O� 1� I V) I W I O � � r I I E 1 � 1 I I I J I�D O a0 V� V� O` M M � V� O� 70 I 1 Q 1 ~ O O N N N C ��t I 1 E I O � M M � � I 1 N 1 � I I I 1' i � O � r � � M M O O a� � 1 �_ �� g �: v ti ' �: I I 1- I V� N 1 I O 1 r I I 1 tn I Cp I � O N N M M M M N N � i 2 i O i � p 00 f� t� 00 O` 1 ►i I W I O � N N � 1 N I I � 1 � I I m I U i Q.

One-fourth (26.7$) thought the City is not business friendly. - Seven in ten business owners (70.5�) also thought the City needs to make some changes or improvements in order to make it easier to do business in Clearwater. - Major changes/improvements suggested were less restrictive sign and ordinances (23.0�), less anti- business attitude (20.3�), lower fee and costs (17.6�), promote tourism (16.2$), less restrictive rules and regulations (13.5�) and redevelop downtown (10.8�). - While most (91.5$) of business owners agreed that it is important for the City to have codes and rules regard- ing commercial construction and land use, virtually all (100.0$) agreed that City codes and rules should be reasonable and make sense in light of their impact on business and economic development. - 115 - �� � � ' '. � > > C � N � H Z W H C N W Z N m C H Q 3 4 W J u � O� � > J G 2 H C � W Z N V m nZi H S � � F- W 3 N d' W 4 1' w � J C � �J W G J Q ¢ (D O� °m � c I I d' I f� O O� M � 1 f� T N �t i I w I M • r ' � ' I 2 I O �1' � �` I I F- I O N � i I O I r- I I I I I I 1 O� I o0 O � V� 1 O N O � � I � I Vl N I � � g � � N � ��� � � ��� � � Z � ;° �> I�•o 00 0�0 00 00 i r i� i g � i a i r i i u i z i I O I V I � � I J I i I I �O O M M � M �� � a` I I 1- I M N I I C I O � � � � 1 I I O I I I � j 1 2 1 V� O N M T O M O � ti i i a i� g M o o � I I w I � `0 N I 1 m I � I I w i M O O O O O � M N 1� I I C7 I • • ' ' I I � I O M � 1 I 6 I O � I J 1 � I I I W I � � �O O N 1� 1� �t V� N N f� � ' 1 � i G I N O ti � � ~ I N I W I O � � I I S I c- I I I I J 1 �O O M � � N M r' �� � I I 6 1 � O � � � � � 1 I S I O I I N I � j j � 1 � O N N O� CO O O O O i I 2 I !

It also has a number of policies and practices that are perceived by business owners as "anti-business" and con- sequently are deterrents to business development. While many of the problems identified in the research are not unique to Clear- water, to the extent they can be reduced or eliminated Clear- water is better off. Clearwater needs to review its business practices and do what it can to enhance the perceptions of and reality of its business friendliness. To meet this objective Bordner Research makes the following recommendations. 1. Construct a plan for economic development/ redevelopment and proactively implement it. - Capitalize on the assets that are a draw to businesses identified in the research in your economic development and promotional efforts. - Consider the use of incentive programs to draw businesses to the deteriorating areas of the City, especially downtown and the beach. - Develop a target market by deciding what types and mix of businesses the City wants to attract. - Recognize that while currently Clearwater seems to be primarily attracting small to mid-sized, entre- prenueral, service and retail businesses, all business are "fair game." - Become actively involved with other cities in pro- moting the economic development of the Tampa Bay Region, as well. as Clearwater itself. 2. Instill in all employees a customer service orienta- tion. - Stress to employees that to business owners they come into contact with, they "are not merely an employee of the City but rather they are the City." - Recognize that many problems arise not so much from what employees do, but rather from how they do it. - Clearly define and set customer service perfor- mance expectations for employees with regard to - 134 - �� � � ' '. � 3. 4. courtesy, helpfulness and promptness of response. - Make sure that knowledgeable, customer service oriented employees are in all key contact posi- tions (from department heads to receptionists to CRT's to inspectors). Streamline the permitting process. - Review and revise permitting process sponsive. current procedures to render the less cumbersome and more re- Pay particular attention to reducing delays that are perceived as so costly to business. Restructure the process to avoid "shuffling" businesses from department to department. - Attempt to maximize first impressions by designa- ting someone with decision-making authority to be the "first contact" point. - Restructure the process such that all relevant decisions regarding codes are made early in the process. Make decisions and commit to them up- front . - Develop detailed printed materials that fully ex- plain the major regulations, procedures and processes business will need to go through to establish a business in Clearwater. - Designate a special person to provide "entry guidance and assist businesses through the process if problems arise. Review all codes, ordinances and regulations. Eliminate "archaic codes" which are unnecessary. Review sign ordinances in light of their perceived negative impact upon businesses. - Consider the changes other local cities are making/have made and respond appropriately where feasible. - Make sure revised codes, ordinances and regula- tions are clearcut to avoid inconsistency in interpretation. - 135 - � � � 1TlC. - Make sure codes, ordinances and regulations are "reasonable" and that employees understand the reasons behind them. 5. On a broader scale, instruct each City Department to review its procedures and practices in relation to possible negative impact upon business. - Change practices that are likely to be perceived as "anti-business." - Pay particular attention to issues related to parking, safety, utilities and dumpster placement. 6. Develop and implement mechanisms which permit open, continuous and direct communication between city leaders and businesses. - Establish periodic business forums. - Visit or call businesses in a systematic fashion to see how they are doing and how they can be better served by the City. - Continue funding periodic research programs. - Devise and implement a communication strategy to inform business that you have "listened to them" and the actions you are taking in response. Make a concerted effort to get feature stories in the local mass media. Utilize C-View to full advan- tage. - 136 - �� � � ' ', i
