Plan sets legislative fireworks
Some cities and counties have stricter rules on fireworks sales than state law. A
Senate amendment wouldn't allow them.
By LUCY MORGAN, Times Tallahassee Bureau Chief
Published May I, 2005
TALLAHASSEE - Florida's fire chiefs are taking aim at a legislative proposal that would prohibit cities
and counties from banning the sale of fireworks.
"It is the first step toward the total legalization offireworks," said Larry Scovotto, executive director
of the Florida Fire Chiefs Association.
State fire officials fear the move would put more Floridians at risk.
"It's all better left to professional displays," said Gerard Chalmers, a district fire chief in St. Petersburg.
"It's like firing a gun in the air: When something goes up, it has to come down."
Fireworks manufacturers already flout a weak state law that allows the purchase of fireworks by
anyone willing to sign a statement saying they are using the fireworks for agricultural purposes or as
railroad flares, Scovotto said.
After repeated attempts to pass a more stringent state law, fire officials in Florida turned to counties
and cities with proposals to outlaw fireworks, saying the proposals are needed to cut down on
accidents that kill and injure hundreds of people every year.
Scovotto noted the death of one Rockledge teenager and the injury of another earlier this year when a
pickup filled with fireworks ignited and crashed.
Pinellas County passed a law in 2003 making it difficult to buy anything but sparklers and smoke
bombs in the county, but Hillsborough County continues to allow the sale of fireworks.
Pasco County considered a fireworks ordinance earlier this year but deemed it unenforceable and
dropped the issue.
Pinellas County Commissioner Susan Latvala said she at first objected to regulations but changed her
mind after dozens of residents told stories of frazzled pets and injured children.
"What's the point of home rule if they can overrule everything we do?" she asked. "The whole point is
lof;;"'"
5/1/2005 10:53 PM.
different communities have different standards, and in our case there was huge, huge support to do
this. "
Sen. Carey Baker, R-Eustis, filed the fireworks amendment to fire prevention bill (SI08) late Friday
afternoon. The bill is sitting on the Senate calendar ready for a vote this week.
Baker's amendment says "to ensure uniform fire prevention and safety standards" counties and cities
may not enact regulations that supersede state laws regarding the purchase, sale and use of fireworks
and sparklers.
Scovotto said the fire chiefs tried to persuade Baker to drop the amendment but failed.
"There is a lot of money to be made in selling fireworks," Scovotto said.
Lobbyists for several fireworks companies have been pushing to allow more widespread sale of
fireworks around the state.
Asked about the amendment Saturday, Galaxy Fireworks lobbyist Guy Spearman said, "I probably
know something about it. It's a pretty good amendment. "
Spearman is a veteran lobbyist practiced in the art of inserting last-minute amendments in bills during
the final days oflegislative sessions when hundreds of bills are passing with little scrutiny.
He said the amendment was considered by the Senate Banking & Insurance Committee and withdrawn
before a vote was taken. Legislative rules forbid consideration by the full Senate of an amendment that
has been defeated in committee.
"It's not all one-sided. Fireworks manufacturers are a legitimate business," Spearman said Saturday.
"We fight to a standstill every year. "
Other lobbyists working for fireworks companies include Ron Book;M~OOiwt~llison Carvajal
and Chris Floyd, a former aide to Senate President Tom Lee. . -
Several other bills that would loosen the restrictions on the sale of fireworks remain stalled in
committees.
Staff writer Alex Leary contributed to this report.
FIREWORKS REGULATIONS
Under state law, the use of exploding or rocketing fireworks is limited to professionals. However the
state allows a few exceptions for unusual circumstances, such as frightening birds away from farms and
fish hatcheries.
Many retailers post the law and require their customers to sign a form saying they have read it before
making a purchase, but the law is routinely disregarded.
Some local governments have implemented tougher rules. PineIlas County, for instance, requires sellers
to get permits to operate and keep records showing that each customer has a special fireworks permit.

5. In response to this query the City Manager asked me to detail the
items of discussion:
a. Transparency and perceived fairness of the development review
process (DRC and CDB) [related to the FLC Conference
session on quasi judicial process]
b. Establishment of a neighborhood resource center for
understanding of the quasi judicial process.
c. At the December 10, training session Mr. Siemon reported that
there was an intent to evaluate the code after three years or so
and modify it to align it as necessary. We have gone six years
without a major review. He expected changes would be
required with such a revolutionary code.
d. Original objectives vs. results
i. "Not what you do, but how you do it" - the results of
much built recently vary greatly in quality.
11. "Harmony or mutual benefit" It should be a two way
street where both the property owner and the adjoining
neighbor BOTH benefit. "Different interests are not
adverse to each other."
111. "Need to make the process reward the outcomes you
desire. "
IV. "The developer wants to be able to go to staff and resolve
issues and be reasonably sure of final approval and do
this quickly." The process was intended to speed the
development approval process, instead it seems to have
slowed the process.
v. Intended to change the character of the city by de-
emphasizing the automobile.
e. Financial feasibility justification - Siemon: "City needs to
ensure that independent evidence is obtained."
f. Real intent for infill was for special circumstances, not the run
of the mill application. Shouldn't it require more
documentation or evidence, and more review to obtain this
additional variance?
g. Siemon: "The remedy to bad decisions is to change the policy _,
not to change things at the decision level." We fundamentally
have not given the policy guidance to the CDB.
6. Specific Code Changes
a. CDB members should be citizen residents.
LDR Follow up to Charlie Siemon discussion 050502
Printed 5
b. CDB terms should be shorter so that they can be more
accountable by not being reappointed.
c. I would remove residential infill from Level One approval.

3:58 City Manager: So is there guidance coming this way on the next meeting or is there
a workshop. I just need to know what we are planning.
Mayor: It is more appropriate for a workshop.
City Manager: Yea, I think that is what I am hearing. How soon do you want to do it?
Mayor: I am sensitive to the fact that we are trying to get this Old Florida District
squared away. Obviously this means more staff work.
3:58 Ms. Taripanni: Well actually we do have the PPC engaged to look at the process
side. They are not looking at substantive Issues. They are looking a process side. We
expect that this week as soon as Mr. Home - I will be sending a letter through him that
describes what the PPC is doing. But basically, what they are doing are three steps: 1.
Look at other cities and comparing ourselves - How many cases do we have per planner?
How much more complicated or less complicated are our's. 2. Development community
survey to get at what seems to be the problem, what are the issues that they think we need
to deal with. 3. Recommendations. It depends on how quickly you all want to move
forward on this. PPC is doing some of that analytical work now on the process part.
They are soley looking at the process not the substantive issues.
City Manager: So there is a chance that we will be able to move a little bit faster than
what?
Mayor: So within the next month and a half or so?
City Manager: I'll get with Cyndi.
Mayor: And we also have the visioning going on.
Jonson: What is the Chinese curse? "May you live in interesting times." These are
"very interesting times." I do appreciate everything that we are trying to move forward
on. At the same time, if this were an average city we wouldn't even be attempting this.
4:00 Mayor: Some of it needs to be addressed before it is too late.
March 14, 2005
Clearwater Council Work Session
Unofficial transcript from videotape
At 3:47 (time displayed in the lower right hand corner of the TV screen.)
Jonson: I don't have anything else specifically on the Old Florida District. But I would
like to take a few minutes to talk about the process following the Charlie Siemon
discussion. I will set aside that til we have. .
Mayor I think we are done on Old Florida, so if you want to transition.
Jonson: (Began discussion using photographs - see notes)
3:56 Jonson: I would like to ask that we consider that.
Mayor: Any thoughts?
3:56 Jonson: Basically "that" being to have a follow up on the discussion that we had
with Charlie Siemon.
Mayor: I don't have a problem with that. There are some other things with the code that
I think we need to address as well. I would welcome that opportunity.
Doran: I agree.
Mayor: It has been long enough, we need to get on a schedule of looking at things that
need to be fixed. We knew that it was a complicated code to start with some things I
think need to be simplified and tightened up to make it easier on the Planning Department
and hopefully result in better projects. And less ambiguity.
Doran: I think we have to recognize that the code that we have is a labor-intensive code.
We have to give guidance over on this side, that if we need more people to do the work
we aught to get more people to do the work. It is not always that FET is a bad thing.
Sometimes we really need FEY's to get the job done for the people that live, work and
play in Clearwater. And I think that this is one of those areas that is part and parcel of the
discussion that we need to engage in over the next few months.
Mayor: Agree. Good.

Subject: Response to: Reclaimed Water Station site on School Board Property-I OPPOSE
This reclaimed water booster pump station is part of the Drew/Union Street Reclaimed Water Distribution
project. Two booster pump stations are needed to maintain reclaimed water system pressures on the
eastern side of Clearwater since the pipeline running from the NE Plant down McMullen Booth Rd is a low-
pressure transmission line. The reclaimed water must be pumped at Union St and in the Del Oro area (Del
Oro Park) to enable appropriate pressures to be maintained. To disinfect the reclaimed
water controlling growth of algae and bacteria growth the pump stations include supplemental sodium
hypochlorite (bleach) tanks and feed systems.
The Drew/Union St. project design started in May 2001 with the first phase (placing the pipelines in the
ground) now complete. We are now finalizing the second phase with the two booster pump stations.
The project is funded in part using Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD) funding in
support of reducing potable water irrigation demands replacing that demand with reclaimed water. The
project value is about $4.93M for the first phase and about $2.4M for the booster pump stations (which are
part of a separate project for reclaimed water service in the Del Oro area). If a site can not be found for the
pump station serving the Union St. portion, then approx. $1.5M in reclaimed water piping in the Union St.
area will not receive sufficient pressures to properly operate the system.
Significant time and effort has been spent pursuing a location for the Union St. Pump Station
site. Discussions with property owners in the area began in May 2002. Discussions with the Pinellas
County School Board began in August 2002. No one was willing to discuss selling or otherwise providing
property for a site except the School system and we've been discussing the site location with the School
system since that time. The School Board provided the site now being discussed with the BOCC.
The BOCC is required to approve the siting. The zoning is AE (Agriculture Estate Residential District with
2 acre min development of any kind). A Utility substation is allowed under this designation as a conditional
use.
Discussions began with the concerned citizens (Sandy, Diane and Jim Ciulla, adjacent property owners)
began on March 3rd with the Zoning Board Examiner's Hearing. Concerns they raised (with responses
provided at the meeting) included:
· Unfamiliarly with Reclaimed Water and perceived health risks associated with reclaimed water
5/2/2005
Page 2 014
(response: Reclaimed water was explained and it was stressed the reclaimed water would remain
in pipelines)
. Noise from the pump station (response: Noise from the building would not exceed county
ordinance)
. Appearance of the pump station (response: The pump station was planned to be architecturally
compatible with the adjacent school buildings)
. Concern over electrical wiring associated with the pump station (response: Electrical wiring is
planned to be underground)
Subsequent conversations with the Ciulla's involved concern over reclaimed water being stored in the
stormwater retention pond and concern over noise from the AlC unit. It was explained that no reclaimed
water was being stored in the pond and the AlC unit was relocated further away on a different side of the
building.
The Ciulla's were offered and visited the County's McKay Creek Reclaimed Water Pump Station--a facility
much larger than the one proposed by the city. They also visited our RO Water Treatment Facility on April
11th. The Ciulla's became concerned over odors from the sodium hypochlorite (bleach) room. To alleviate
their concern, the differences in facilities were addressed including the larger quantities stored at the RO
Plant, designed in ventilation system in the Union 8t. Reclaimed Water Pump station (the RO Plant sodium
hypochlorite room is a converted gas chlorine facility) and the fact that when the liquid bleach is
transferred, there's a vapor capture system in place to remove fumes.
On March 17th, Commissioner Latvala's office requested info on the proposed facility. Concerns included
the retention pond (it will be a dry pond), concern over fencing (we informed the Commissioner the facility
would be fenced) and that the facility was sited furthest away from adjacent property owners as we could.
Since that time, we rec'd the following e-mail outlining some of the original concerns as well as some new
ones.
In direct response to the e-mail below, the following comments are offered:
1. The design and layout of the pump station is intended to reduce noise as much as possible and meets
county code. The county code requires 50 dba at the property line--about the intensity of a normal
conversation. Based on additional conversations with the Ciulla's, the design will be modified even further
in an attempt to reduce any noise as much as possible. A sound absorbing plenum will be installed which
will enclose the ventilation louver on the North facing wall to block noise leaving the building. Sound near
the property line is anticipated to be about 40 dba. Tree planting and the privacy fence along the property
line should further reduce noise.
2. The pump station is architecturally similar to adjacent school buildings, is about the size of a 2000 SF
home and will have perimeter landscaping to blend in to the community.
3. The pump station is not being placed between the school and the property in question. There are some
trees between the rear of the Ciulla's property and the proposed pump station, and these are intended to
remain along with landscaping.
4. Many variables affect property values and our research into property values near our existing
facilities shows we can not with any certainly pin point a relationship between proximity and value.
5. With regard to potential spills, the liquid bleach is contained in an enclosed tank with secondary
containment within the facility. Leak detection is being provided for response to any leak. As discussed
previously, transfer of bleach from the truck to the tank is accomplished within the facility with vapors
captured and recycled back to the tank on the truck.
Todd Petrie, Brent Heath from McKim&Creed (design engineers) and I met with the Ciulla's on April 26th to
discuss their concerns. Their concerns centered on the following:
. Property valuation-- (response: This is difficult to determine. Many variables affect property values
and our research into property values near our existing facilities shows we can not with any certainty
pin point a relationship between proximity and value.)
. 150 Foot evacuation zone if there was a spill of bleach (ERG 154) (response: The DOT Emergency
Response Guide (ERG) is a document for emergency responder personnel geared towards
5/2/2005
Page 3 of 4
transportation related events. The Ciulla's specifically referenced REG No. 154, which is the guide
for sodium hypochlorite solution (bleach). This guide does not reference evacuation requirements
as stated in the below e-mail. In the Guide's Public Health section, it states" As a immediate
precautionary measure, isolate spill or leak in all directions for at least 150 feet". Any spill or leak at
the pump station will be contained within the pump station building. Additionally, the ERG contains
a table of Initial Isolation and Protective Action Distances that lists requirements for evacuation in
the event of a spill or leak for various listed materials. Sodium hypochlorite is not one of them.
. Gas venting from the facility/truck-- (response: Explained the bleach would be contained within the
facility although some vapors would escape from the roof vents. Vapors from the transfer of the
liquid from the truck to the tank were captured in the truck tank.
. Concern over trees being destroyed when th'e facility is built--(response: Discussed with our
Landscape Architect. Plan to visit the site with our Landscape Architect and discuss with the Ciulla's
next week)
. Desired the site be moved away from them--anywhere but directly behind them--contacted Jim
Miller to discuss. I asked Mr. Miller if the School Board would consider siting along Union St. on the
western edge of the school property in lieu of this proposed site. The Ciulla's indicated to us at the
meeting they would not oppose this site location.
We plan to meet with the Ciulla's next week to further discuss their concerns including clarification of ERG
154 and their concern over potential damage to trees.
I've attached an outline of the efforts spent to locate a property on which we can place this booster pump
station and a site map of the building FYI.

Re: Case #CU-5-3-05, to be presented before the Board of County Commissioners May
17, 2005
Proposed reclaimed water station site to be constructed by the City of
Clearwater on Pinellas County School Board property adjacent to the west
side of McMullen Elementary School, also adjacent to the south side of
Attention Home property
5/212005
Page 4 of 4
Dear Community Servant;
I am writing to say that I am opposed to the construction of this facility immediately behind Attention
Home property. I believe this possible placement would be detrimental to the operations of
Attention Home, a therapeutic residential facility that has provided care for developmentally
disabled, physically disabled and emotionally disturbed boys and young men for 25 years.
The station involves many factors detrimental to Attention Home, including a 1,200 gallon storage
tank for a chemical compound called sodium hypochlorite, which is, essentially, commercial grade
bleach. To give you an idea, Clorox contains 5% sodium hypochlorite, while the reclaimed water
station would use a solution containing 12.5% sodium hypochlorite. The construction of
the station at this proposed site would put Attention Home directly within the 150'
minimum evacuation zone established by the U.S. Department of Transportation (ERG 154)
for this toxic and corrosive compound.
Additional problems with this proposed site include:
1. Noise from pumps running continuously, 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.
2. A large, imposing nonresidential, industrial facility would be in plain view for those living in the
residences at the rear of the property.
3. The natural buffer currently in existence between Attention Home property and
that of McMullen Elementary would be significantly diminished.
4. Attention Home's property value would be negatively affected, possibly to a very great degree
with such a station 40' from the patio and pool.
5. The very real possibilities of leaks and spills of sodium hypochlorite would be imposed upon those
individuals who reside at this property.
The property behind Attention Home that the City of Clearwater wants to use belongs to the Pinellas
County School Board. The site is only a very small piece (1/4 acre) of a 24 acre parcel. The
placement of a reclaimed water station on a 114 acre site directly behind Attention Home property is
inconsistent with the pattern of land use in that neighborhood. It is an area of estate size lots, with
most property owners situated on 2 or more acres. The School Board has 24 vacant acres in this
parcel. It is completely unnecessary for the station to be crammed up against Attention
Home property when there are plenty of other options available within the 24 acres that do not put
any individuals or Attention Home at immediate risk. For that matter, there are even other options
outside this parcel altogether that would also be serviceable locations.
Attention Home has attempted to discuss these other location options with the Pinellas County
School Board's Director of Real Property's office, but they have either denied their requests for
consideration or not responded at all. I INSIST THE SITE FOR THIS RECLAIMED WATER
FACILITY BE MOVED!!!
Attention Home has helped the community for 25 years. Now they need your help. I appeal to your
common sense and implore you to take a stand by voting against the construction of this reclaimed
water station for this site. Please feel free to contact Attention Home at (727) 796-4012 (ask for
Diane) or (727) 424-7702 (ask for Erin) with any questions or concerns you may have.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

McKim & Creed submits proposed site plan to City for inquires
with Daniel McMullen for possibility of locating the reclaimed water
booster pump station in the north side of his property fronting
Union Street between the County's stormwater pond and
McMullen Booth Elementary School.
Site denied as McMullen refused to negotiate with the City.
McKim & Creed inquires with Jim Miller of Pinellas County School
Board Real Property Management about the possibility of locating
the reclaimed water booster pump station in the northwest corner
of the McMullen Booth Elementary school property. Mr. Miller
agrees to review.
McKim & Creed submits four copies of the proposed site and
location plans to the City for review prior to submitting to Pinellas
Real Property Management.
McKim & Creed submits two copies each of the site and location
plans to Jim Miller with Real Property Management.
September 6,2002 Jim Miller requests elevation views of the proposed pump station
and a vicinity aerial.
September 16, 2002 McKim & Creed submits one copy each of the aerial, site plan and
elevation drawings and the proposed cover letter to Real Property
Management to the City for review.
September 26, 2002 McKim & Creed submits two copies each of the aerial, site plan
and elevation drawings to Jim Miller with Real Property
Management.
November 11, 2002 McKim & Creed submits two copies each of the site plan and
elevation drawings to Principle Pamela Moore for her use during
the field visit with Real Property Management.
December 6, 2002 Steve Fairchild with Real Property Management notifies McKim &
Creed that the proposed site location in the front of the school is
not acceptable based on the size of the structure and visibility
concerns. Real Property Management would consider other
locations away from the property frontage. McKim & Creed
requests Master Plan showing the future expansion plans for the
property. Steve Fairchild with Real Property Management states
none is available.
December 9, 2002 McKim & Creed submits two copies of an aerial showing two
alternative pump station site locations to Jim Miller of Real
Property Management.
January 22, 2003 Steve Fairchild with Real Property Management notifies McKim &
Creed that proposed Site Location NO.2 was more appealing to
the School's area office staff due to the possible western
expansion of the elementary facilities and/or a future middle
school. However, this location has not yet been approved by the
school administration.
January 29, 2003 Steve Fairchild with Real Property Management notifies McKim &
Creed that the school district arid area office staff have met with
the school administration. The proposed Site Location No.2 is not
suitable because of the school's outdoor classroom needs. The
proposed Location No. 1 was also denied based on the future
westward expansion of the existing school and/or future middle
school.
February 28, 2003 McKim & Creed submits proposed site plan to City for
negotiations with Sylvan Abbey representatives. Negotiations end
as property costs deemed excessive.
March 13,2003 City receives denial from School Board representatives for any
further negotiations.
March 14, 2003 McKim & Creed investigates potential property east of McMullen
Booth Road intersection. Available parcels were not found.
December 2003 Earl Barrett of the City's Real Property Management extensively
evaluates and contacts property owners along Union Street.
Results indicate that no property owners are willing to sell any
portion of current properties.
February 11, 2004 McKim & Creed asked to submit proposed site plan to Pine lias
County School Board with the location at the south end of the
property, in the area of the future middle school site.
June 8, 2004 Meeting held with Pinellas County Real Property, McKim & Creed
and City of Clearwater representatives to discuss site issues for
the pump station.
August 27, 2004 Meeting held with Pinellas County Real Property and City of
Clearwater representatives to discuss issues for the pump station
site. Real Property agreed to provide property for pump station.
December 2004 Property is acquired from School Board for site of pump station.

Proposed reclaimed water station site on Scbool Board property adjacent to the west side of
McMullen Bootb Elementary Scbool, also adjacent to tbe south side of Attention Home property
Dear.eom-munifyServants,
You have received correspondence from or spoken with us regarding this issue over the past several weeks. We are
opposed to the proposed site for this reclaimed water station. In addition to the infonnation We shared with you
previously, we have been made aware of some additional infonnation that we feel is important for you to know as you
consider your actions regarding this case.
Previously we stated that this proposed station is inconsistent with the pattern of land use in our area, intrusive regarding
noise and appearance, detrimental to our property value and operations, and a plausible danger regarding the storage, use
and transport and delivery of sodium hypochlorite (aka commercial grade bleach). We have now been informed that our
facility is in the 150' rUdius minimum evacuation zone for spills and leaks established by the Department of
Transportation. Two of the residential buildings on our property are actually within 50' of this proposed site. Quite
frankly, this situation is ridiculous. Please see the attached maps.
At Attention Home, we have invested 25 years of service to individuals in our community with special needs.
r: '8 a high-risk population that rarely receives the care they need, and it has been our mission for 25 years to step up to
the plate and be there to provide the care and family they need. At this moment we provide a safe, stable, healthy
mvironment to 14 boys and young men living at Attention Home. We have done all we can to ensure they have all they
leed for healthy, happy lives. Ten years ago we moved our operation to this location because we believed it to be a
.efuge, a quiet beautiful piece of property that was perfect for our goals of providing a therapeutic envttollDtent for boys
IJ1d young men with special needs, We never would have purchased a property for our facility within a minimum
:hemical evacuation zone.
f this station were to be constructed on the proposed site, we would need to develop a new disaster plan and submit it for
pproval to the Department of Children and Families, our licensing agency. The School Board has 24 vacant acres in this
aroof. It is completely unnecessary for the station to be crammed up against residential neighbors when there are plenty
f other options available within the 24 acres. For that matter, there are even other options outside this parcel, including a
7 acre parcel also owned by the School Board on the north side of Union Street, which would also be serviceable
.cations. .
lease consider all this information as you prepare for the upcoming meeting. We hope you will agree that this station
>es not belong at this site; please Vote against it.
ncerely,
Sponsored by the Florida Department of Children and Families

To our Honored Guests;
I would like to cordially invite you to the Fraternal Order of Police
Lodge 10 Annual Police Memorial. This annual event is hosted by FOP
Lodge 10 and the Clearwater Police Department to honor those who
have paid the ultimate price in the line of duty. Statistically a Police
Officer is killed in the United States every fifty seven hours, here in our
City we remember the sacrifice and the loss of four of our brothers
who have paid the ultimate price so that others may live. It is a very
solemn and humbling experience to remember and honor those who
have gone before us practicing the highest form of religious training,
sacrifice.
Please join us Friday May 13th 2005 at 1000 A.M. in beautiful down
town Clearwater. Currently we are attempting to reserve Station
Square Park; however, current renovations may require us to relocate
to Coachman Park. I will personally update you as soon as we are
notified. Also we would like to cordially invite you to the Fraternal
Order of Police Lodge located at 1459 Gulf to Bay Boulevard to share
in refreshments and fraternalism with the family members of our
fallen brethren.
If there are any questions please do not hesitate to call FOP
Chaplain Renfroe or myself regarding this matter.
Fraternally,
Jonathan Walser
FOP 10 Lodge President.

Tracking Number: 1,078
Actual Date: 05/05/2005
Subject / Recommendation:
Establish new non-resident fees for non-residents to participate at City recreation facilities and
in City recreation programs and activities; establish new formulas for the purpose of computing
fees for non-residents; approve City Manager or his designee to administer the formulas; and
pass Ordinance 7389-05 on first reading.
Summary:
f1 wS
>
City Council
Cover Memorandum
On October 18, 1993 the City Commission approved a formula for the purpose of computing fees
for non-residents and established categories for non-residents. The formula adopted is as
follows:
Department 0 & M Budget plus
Indirect Overhead minus
Budgeted Revenue divided by
Population equals
Subtotal
Subtotal plus
$5.00 Capital Recovery Component equals
Non-Resident Yearly Fee
Even though non-resident fees were increased in 2004 staff is recommending an additional
increase for 2005 based on the approval of a new formula both for individual yearly non-resident
fees but also for a new unincorporated non-resident fee.
Staff is recommending that the following formulas be used in that they more accurately reflect
the actual cost that residents are paying for recreation services:
1. Non-residents who reside in other Pinellas municipalities
Department 0 & M Budget ($9,495,850) plus
Indirect Overhead ($758,352) minus
Budgeted Revenue ($2,253,700) divided by
Population (109,000) equals
Subtotal ($73.40)
Subtotal ($73.40) plus
Capital Improvement Recovery Component ($11.49) plus
Card Processing Fee ($5.00) equals
Non-Resident Yearly Fee ($89.89)
2. Unincorporated Non-Resident Fee
Department 0 & M Budget ($9,495,850) plus
Indirect Overhead ($758,352) minus
Budgeted Revenue ($2,253,700) divided by
Population (109,000) equals
Subtotal ($73.40)
Subtotal ($73.40) plus
Capital Improvement Recovery Component ($11.49) plus
Card Processing Fee ($5.00) plus
Unincorporated Surcharge ($70.96) equals
Unincorporated Non-Resident Yearly Fee ($160.85)
The unincorporated surcharge of $70.96 is based on the average cost that other local
municipalities charge to non-residents. The fee charged by other municipalities are similar to
the City of Clearwater in that the purpose is to make the non-resident pay an amount equal to
what their residents pay. The cities used for this averge were Dunedin ($58.85), Largo
City Council
_~,""",,~gel!.~a c~.~.~!:. M.~mor!.!,!..~..~...!!!_~,.
($75.00), St. Petersburg ($10
0.00) and Safety Harbor ($50.00).
Formulas for the remaining categories of non-residents and unincorporated non-residents are as
follows:
1. Annual Family Fee - Individual non-resident or unincorporated non-resident yearly fee x 2.5
2. Participants of youth seasonal recreational programs and participants at lawn bowls,
shuffleboard and horseshoe clubs - Individual non-resident or unincorporated non-resident
yearly fee x 40%
In order to respond in a more timely fashion to shifts in budgets and the economy as it relates
to non-residents paying a fair share staff is requesting authority to set fees based on the
formulas whenever a change is prudent and warranted.
Three other provisions in the ordinance that were changed are as follows:
1. To define a time period for "tourist and guests temporarily residing". The time recommended
is 3 months or less.
2. Add three score softball to the senior club category.
3. Added an option to allow non-residents who did not have a non-resident card to rent a
recreation facility for a 10% surcharge.
Based on the new formulas, the proposed fees for non-residents and unincorporated
non-residents are as follows:
SEE ATTACHED TABLE
Since we are proposing new fee categories for unincorporated residents it is difficult to
determine what the net impact will be on overall revenue. However, staff is of the opinion that
the majority of persons now using City facilities and programs will continue to use them since
there are few options available to unincorporated residents. Furthermore, the County has
established a reimbursement program where unincorporated residents can request funds to pay
for non-resident fees. Therefore, revenue should not decrease but in fact increase.
