THIRD AMENDMENT TO THE FIRST RESTATEMENT
of
CITY OF CLEARWATER MONEY PURCHASE PENSION PLAN
FOR FINAL MINIMUM DISTRIBUTION REGULATIONS
This Amendment to the City of Clearwater Money Purchase Pension Plan ("Plan"), is
hereby adopted by the City of Clearwater ("City") on the date indicated below, but is effective
for all purposes as of January 1, 2003.
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the City adopted the Plan for the exclusive benefit of Plan participants and
beneficiaries; and
WHEREAS, the City reserved the right to amend the Plan; and
WHEREAS, a Plan amendment is necessary to retain the tax qualified treatment of Plan
assets; and
WHEREAS, such an amendment is in the best interests of participants and beneficiaries;
and
WHEREAS, this Amendment of the Plan is adopted to reflect the Final Treasury
Regulations under Internal Revenue Code (" IRC") Section 401(a)(9) on required minimum
distributions; and
WHEREAS, this Amendment shall supersede the provisions of the Plan to the extent
those provisions are inconsistent with the provisions of this Amendment.
NOW THEREFORE, the Plan shall be amended by this Amendment in the following
respects only:
ITEM 1: The following regarding Minimum Distribution Requirements, is added at the end
of Article VII:
1 General Rules.
1.1 Effective Date. The provisions of this Amendment will apply for purposes of
determining required minimum distributions for calendar years beginning with the
2003 calendar year.
1.2 Coordination with Minimum Distribution Requirements Previously in Effect.
If this Amendment is effective earlier than calendar years beginning with the 2003
calendar year, required minimum distributions for 2002 under this Amendment
will be determined as follows. If the total amount of 2002 required minimum
distributions under the Plan made to the distributee prior to the effective date of
this Amendment equals or exceeds the required minimum distributions
determined under this Amendment, then no additional distributions will be
required to be made for 2002 on or after such date to the distributee. If the total
amount of 2002 required minimum distributions under the Plan made to the
distributee prior to the effective date of this Amendment is less than the amount
determined under this Amendment, then required minimum distributions for 2002
on and after such date will be determined so that the total amount of required
minimum distributions for 2002 made to the distributee will be the amount
determined under this Amendment.
1.3 Precedence. The requirements of this Amendment will take precedence over
any inconsistent provisions of the Plan.
1.4 Requirements of Treasury Regulations Incorporated. All distributions
required under this Amendment will be determined and made in accordance with
the Treasury Regulations under IRC Section 401(a)(9).
1.5 TEFR,4 Section 242(b)(2) Elections. Notwithstanding the other provisions of
this Amendment, distributions may be made under a designation made before
January 1, 1984, in accordance with Section 242(b)(2) of the Tax Equity and
Fiscal Responsibility Act (TEFRA) and the provisions of the Plan that relate to
TEFRA Section 242(b)(2).
2 Time and Manner of Distribution.
2.1 Required Beginning Date. The Participant's entire interest will be distributed,
or begin to be distributed, to the Participant no later than the Participant's required
beginning date.
2.2 Death of Participant Before Distributions Begin. If the Participant dies before
distributions begin, the Participant's entire interest will be distributed, or begin to
be distributed, no later than as follows:
(a) If the Participant's surviving spouse is the Participant's sole designated
Beneficiary, then, except as provided in Section 2.2(e), distributions to the
surviving spouse will begin by December 31 of the calendar year immediately
following the calendar year in which the Participant died, or by December 31 of
the calendar year in which the Participant would have attained age 70-1/2, if later.
(b) If the Participant's surviving spouse is not the Participant's sole designated
Beneficiary, then, except as provided in Section 2.2(e), distributions to the
designated Beneficiary will begin by December 31 of the calendar year
immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died.
(c) If there is no designated Beneficiary as of September 30 of the year following
the year of the Participant's death, the Participant's entire interest will be
2
distributed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary
of the Participant's death.
(d) If the Participant's surviving spouse is the Participant's sole designated
Beneficiary and the surviving spouse dies after the Participant but before
distributions to the surviving spouse begin, this Section 2.2, other than Section
2.2(a), will apply as if the surviving spouse were the Participant.
(e) Participants or Beneficiaries may elect on an individual basis whether the 5-
year rule or the life expectancy rule in Sections 2.2 and 4.2 of this Amendment
applies to distributions after the death of a Participant who has a designated
Beneficiary. The election must be made no later than the earlier of September 30
of the calendar year in which distribution would be required to begin under
Section 2.2 of this Amendment, or by September 30 of the calendar year which
contains the fifth anniversary of the Participant's (or, if applicable, surviving
spouse's) death. If neither the Participant nor Beneficiary makes an election under
this paragraph, distributions will be made in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 4.2
of this Amendment.
For purposes of this Section 2.2 and Section 4, unless Section 2.2(d) applies,
distributions are considered to begin on the Participant's required beginning date.
If Section 2.2(d) applies, distributions are considered to begin on the date
distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under Section 2.2(a). If
distributions under an annuity purchased from an insurance company irrevocably
continence to the Participant before the Participant's required beginning date (or
to the Participant's surviving spouse before the date distributions are required to
begin to the surviving spouse under Section 2.2(a)), the date distributions are
considered to begin is the date distributions actually commence.
2.3 Forms of Distribution. Unless the Participant's interest is distributed in the
form of an annuity purchased from an insurance company or in a single sum on or
before the required beginning date, as of the first distribution calendar year
distributions will be made in accordance with Sections 3 and 4 of this
Amendment. If the Participant's interest is distributed in the form of an annuity
purchased from an insurance company, distributions thereunder will be made in
accordance with the requirements of IRC Section 401(a)(9) and the Treasury
Regulations.
3 Required Minimum Distributions During Participant's Lifetime.
3.1 Amount of Required Minimum Distribution For Each Distribution Calendar
Year. During the Participant's lifetime, the minimum amount that will be
distributed for each distribution calendar year is the lesser of
(a) the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant's account balance by the
distribution period in the Uniform Lifetime Table set forth in Treasury
3
Regulations Section 1.401(a)(9)-9, using the Participant's age as of the
Participant's birthday in the distribution calendar year; or
(b) if the Participant's sole designated Beneficiary for the distribution calendar
year is the Participant's spouse, the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant's
account balance by the number in the Joint and Last Survivor Table set forth in
Treasury Regulations Section 1.401(a)(9)-9, using the Participant's and spouse's
attained ages as of the Participant's and spouse's birthdays in the distribution
calendar year.
3.2 Lifetime Required Minimum Distributions Continue Through Year of
Participant's Death. Required minimum distributions will be determined under
this Section 3 beginning with the first distribution calendar year and up to and
including the distribution calendar year that includes the Participant's date of
death.
4 Required Minimum Distributions After Participant's Death.
4.1 Death On or After Date Distributions Begin.
(a) Participant Survived by Designated Beneficiary. If the Participant dies on or
after the date distributions begin and there is a designated Beneficiary, the
minimum amount that will be distributed for each distribution calendar year after
the year of the Participant's death is the quotient obtained by dividing the
Participant's account balance by the longer of the remaining life expectancy of the
Participant or the remaining life expectancy of the Participant's designated
Beneficiary, determined as follows:
(1) The Participant's remaining life expectancy is calculated using the age of the
Participant in the year of death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.
(2) If the Participant's surviving spouse is the Participant's sole designated
Beneficiary, the remaining life expectancy of the surviving spouse is calculated
for each distribution calendar year after the year of the Participant's death using
the surviving spouse's age as of the spouse's birthday in that year. For distribution
calendar years after the year of the surviving spouse's death, the remaining life
expectancy of the surviving spouse is calculated using the age of the surviving
spouse as of the spouse's birthday in the calendar year of the spouse's death,
reduced by one for each subsequent calendar year.
(3) If the Participant's surviving spouse is not the Participant's sole designated
Beneficiary, the designated Beneficiary's remaining life expectancy is calculated
using the age of the Beneficiary in the year following the year of the Participant's
death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.
4
(b) No Designated Beneficiary. If the Participant dies on or after the date
distributions begin and there is no designated Beneficiary as of September 30 of
the year after the year of the Participant's death, the minimum amount that will be
distributed for each distribution calendar year after the year of the Participant's
death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant's account balance by the
Participant's remaining life expectancy calculated using the age of the Participant
in the year of death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.
4.2 Death Before Date Distributions Begin.
(a) Participant Survived by Designated Beneficiary. Except as provided in Section
2.2(e), if the Participant dies before the date distributions begin and there is a
designated Beneficiary, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each
distribution calendar year after the year of the Participant's death is the quotient
obtained by dividing the Participant's account balance by the remaining life
expectancy of the Participant's designated Beneficiary, determined as provided in
Section 4.1.
(b) No Designated Beneficiary. If the Participant dies before the date distributions
begin and there is no designated Beneficiary as of September 30 of the year
following the year of the Participant's death, distribution of the Participant's entire
interest will be completed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the
fifth anniversary of the Participant's death.
(c) Death of Surviving Spouse Before Distributions to Surviving Spouse Are
Required to Begin. If the Participant dies before the date distributions begin, the
Participant's surviving spouse is the Participant's sole designated Beneficiary, and
the surviving spouse dies before distributions are required to begin to the
surviving spouse under Section 2.2(a), this Section 4.2 will apply as if the
surviving spouse were the Participant.
5 Definitions.
5.1 Designated Beneficiary. The individual who is designated as the Beneficiary
under the Plan and is the designated Beneficiary under IRC Section 401(a)(9) and
Treasury Regulations Section 1.401(a)(9)-1, Q&A-4.
5.2 Distribution calendar year. A calendar year for which a minimum
distribution is required. For distributions beginning before the Participant's death,
the first distribution calendar year is the calendar year immediately preceding the
calendar year which contains the Participant's required beginning date. For
distributions beginning after the Participant's death, the first distribution calendar
year is the calendar year in which distributions are required to begin under
Section 2.2. The required minimum distribution for the Participant's first
distribution calendar year will be made on or before the Participant's required
beginning date. The required minimum distribution for other distribution calendar
5
years, including the required minimum distribution for the distribution calendar
year in which the Participant's required beginning date occurs, will be made on or
before December 31 of that distribution calendar year.
5.3 Life expectancy. Life expectancy as computed by use of the Single Life Table
in Treasury Regulations Section 1.401(a)(9)-9.
5.4 Participant's account balance. The account balance as of the last valuation
date in the calendar year immediately preceding the distribution calendar year
(valuation calendar year) increased by the amount of any contributions made and
allocated or forfeitures allocated to the account balance as of dates in the
valuation calendar year after the valuation date and decreased by distributions
made in the valuation calendar year after the valuation date. The account balance
for the valuation calendar year includes any amounts rolled over or transferred to
the Plan either in the valuation calendar year or in the distribution calendar year if
distributed or transferred in the valuation calendar year.
5.5 Required beginning date. The date specified in the Plan.

Subject / Recommendation:
Authorize the City to apply for and accept $180,000 in funds granted through the Urban Area
Security Initiative for the development and coordination of an Emergency Management Program.
Program will be fully funded by the grant monies for a period of two (2) years.
Summary:
Through the Federal Government's Homeland Security Department, grant funds have been made
available to municipalities in order to assist with their emergency management preparedness, to
include the threat of terrorism, weapons of mass destruction, homeland security information,
and traditional weather related and natural disasters.
The City of Clearwater is seeking to use the funds to hire a qualified and experienced consultant
to initiate and develop their Emergency Management program that has expanded its scope over
the last few years. The program currently consists of a multi-hazard emergency plan that has
been developed, but the information is in need of updating to reflect a more comprehensive
"all-hazards" approach. The overall responsibilities of the Emergency Management program
have grown dramatically over the last 3 years; this growth, coupled with the requirements for
developing and implementing new programs and systems to meet and to enhance our ability to
respond to major emergencies, requires the hire of an additional full-time position to develop
and coordinate the emergency management program.
This program has been funded through the Urban Area Security Initiative in the amount of
$180,000 (total). The funds are specifically dedicated for the development and coordination of
the Emergency Management program for a period of two years, with no cost or matching funds
required by the City.
It is anticipated that the planning and development of a comprehensive City-wide emergency
management program will be the primary focus of this position. As the program evolves, the
City will be required to determine if this position should be permanent. Once that determination
is made, a decision will be made to seek additional grant money or institutionalize the position
through the normal budget process.

CITY OF CLEARWATER
PROPOSAL
Emergency Management Program Coordinator
Emergency Management Program
The City of Clearwater is seeking the professional services of a qualified and
experienced consultant to initiate and develop an Emergency Management program
that has expanded its scope over the last couple of years. Traditionally, this program
has been managed by a Chief Officer within the Fire Department under the general
direction of the Fire Chief. The program currently has a multi-hazard emergency plan
that has been developed but the information is in need of updating to reflect a more
comprehensive "all-hazards" approach. The overall responsibilities of the Emergency
Management program have grown dramatically over the last 3 years with the threat of
Terrorism, Weapons of Mass Destruction, Homeland Security information, and Grants
in addition to the traditional weather related and natural disasters. This growth, coupled
with the requirements for developing and implementing new programs and systems to
meet and to enhance our ability to respond to major emergencies, requires the hire of
an additional full-time position to develop and coordinate the emergency management
program. This program has been funded through the Urban Area Security Initiative in
the amount of $180,000 (total). The funds are specifically dedicated for the
development and coordination of the Emergency Management program for a period of
two years.
It is the City's intention to actively recruit for a consultant to manage this program, to
evaluate the qualifications of the respondents, and to select the best qualified candidate
for the program through a comprehensive selection process (i.e. oral presentations,
panel interview, etc.)
Background
The City of Clearwater was incorporated in 1915 and the council-manager form of
government that operates the City today was established in 1924. The City
Commission is comprised of five members: a Mayor-Commissioner and four City
Commissioners. This group sets policy, enacts ordinances and establishes property tax
rates. They also appoint a City Manager to handle day-to-day operations and serve as
the Chief Executive Officer of the City.
Life Safety and Prevention Division (Current Structure)
The Life Safety Management program involves fire safety inspections of approximately
13,500 structures plus re-inspections, and presentations to the code enforcement board
or circuit court, when necessary, to assure compliance with statutory requirements.
This Division investigates fire scenes to ascertain origin and cause. This includes
evidence collection, depositions, state attorney investigations, and trial proceedings. It
maintains files on material safety data sheets for all businesses covered by the
Superfund Amendment and Reclassification Act (SARA) Title III.
In addition, this division manages the City's Emergency Management Program.
Emergency Management includes the development, management and implementation
of the City's emergency plan and its Departmental annexes, management of
emergency disaster preparedness, mitigation response and recovery including the
allocation of resources in coordination with local, state, and federal agencies. The
design and functions of the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) are an integral part of
this program. Periodic exercises of the City's emergency plans are conducted on a
recurring basis under the general direction of the Emergency Management Coordinator.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
Emergency Management Program Coordinator
City of Clearwater, Florida
General Information
The overarching purpose of the Emergency Management program is to have a written
Emergency Plan in place that is consistent with both the Pinellas County plan and the
State of Florida Emergency Plan. The City of Clearwater's Emergency Plan has been
previously developed and staff has been trained. Upon review of the current program,
there exists the need to update the entire plan (or re-write it), provide the necessary
annexes, include WMD training and generally modernize the overall process to meet
the needs of preparedness for both natural and manmade disasters. Once this plan is
developed, the staff needs to be thoroughly trained to use the plan, and periodically
tested to ensure a safe and effective application of previous training (working
proficiency).
Specific
The consultant must exercise independent, professional judgment in performance of
any services authorized hereunder. General Oversight will be provided by the Assistant
City Manager with input from the Fire Chief, Police Chief and other City Officials. The
services the consultant shall be responsible for providing may include, but are not
limited to, the following:
A. Develop a comprehensive multi-hazard contingency plan specific to the City of
Clearwater, but complementary to the Pinellas County Emergency Plan and the
Federal UASI (Urban Area Security Initiative) -within 12 months from hire.
a. Update current Basic Emergency Plan or develop new concept as
needed.
b. Develop all necessary annexes to include food service, equipment,
staffing considerations and other information for each department listed in
the City of Clearwater's organizational chart.
c. Provide each department with a summary that focuses on needs
assessment specific to each department identifying:
i. Equipment Needs
ii. Training
iii. Staffing
iv. Infrastructure Recommendations
B. Upon completion of the Basic Emergency Plan, provide the necessary training to
individual departments and groups of department heads as needed to ensure an
adequate working knowledge (within 24 months).
C. Develop and deliver training and practical scenarios to ensure proficiency (within
24 months).
3
D. Act as Point of Contact for all Emergency Management activities including, but
not limited to:
a. State and County Emergency Management staff
b. Homeland Security (UASI)
c. City Management
d. City Department Directors
e. Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC)
f. Local Mitigation Strategy (LMS) working group through the Tampa Bay
Regional Planning Council
g. Community Emergency Response Team (CERT)
h. Others as needed
General Duties
Response to Severe Tropical Weather -
Emergency management efforts have been concentrated in the development and
refinement of evacuation, re-entry, hazard assessment, damage assessment and
debris management plans to afford an effective response to severe tropical weather.
Additionally, management systems have been, are being, or needs to be developed
and refined to support these programs. While these programs are under development,
additional efforts are needed to train response personnel as well as to implement and to
institutionalize these plans and response systems. This additional position will have a
key role in coordinating the training required for the institutionalization of the City's
emergency response plans and systems.
In addition to the development and enhancement of the City's preparedness and
response programs, emergency management efforts are needed to develop and to
implement those programs for ensuring effective recovery/redevelopment in the
aftermath of disasters as well as to ensure disaster mitigation efforts are in place.
Programs that have been initiated include:
Mitigation-
Local Mitigation Strategy - A Local Mitigation Strategy plan for mitigating
disasters was developed with Pinellas County. This plan holds some merit if
revised, updated, and implemented. Efforts would be required to integrate and
to implement this program into the City's and County's comprehensive and
emergency programs and plans.
Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT) - CERT is a FEMA program
for providing neighborhood and community groups with the training and
resources required in order to help themselves in emergencies - before first
responders can provide assistance. CERT is a resource to supplement first-
4
responders and emergency management in major disasters since they can
assist in search and rescue efforts, conducting damage assessment, etc.
(Funding is available for this program through Hillsborough County Mitigation
Program as well as State grants). Initial steps were taken with TFR and
Hillsborough County to coordinate and to establish CERT programs in the Port
Tampa, Palmetto Beach and the New Tampa communities. However, these
efforts have waned because of inadequate staffing to support the program.
Recovery/Redevelopment -
The recovery program, a major component of the emergency management
program, would benefit from a comprehensive revision. An effort to focus on
identifying issues related to short and long term recovery and in developing and
implementing disaster recovery programs is needed.
Terrorism Response -
The City has received funding from multiple sources to train and equip some
selected departments in the area of preparedness. Coordination of these funds,
training classes and scheduled events is needed across as many departments
as possible to maximize the funds and the affects.
Public Safety -
The Fire Department has traditionally provided the administrative support for this
position and will continue to do so on an as-needed basis. This includes a staff
assistant that will have other duties assigned not related to Emergency
Management.
Grants -
Many federal and state grants become available for emergency management
programs in each fiscal year. An estimated million dollars have been lost to the
emergency management program, over the last couple of years, because of
insufficient resources to pursue these funds. This position is expected to work
with the City Grants Coordinator to maximize this funding opportunity.

Resolution No. 04-07
Governance/Administration
In fiscal year 2002-2003, the City of Clearwater's City Commission created a 20-year
vision for Clearwater in an effort to plan for the future and show the citizens the direction
their city is going in. The vision focused on five priorities for the city, which were Public
Safety, Economic Development, Infrastructure Maintenance, Quality of Life, and Human
Resources. One year after the creation of that vision, the city created a set of
performance measures aimed at determining the status of the newly formed vision.
Eventually the city decided on a set of 21 citywide performance measures that applied
directly to the five priorities of the vision and the language that defined those priorities.
While this broad, citywide approach to performance measures is not a widely practiced
method of performance measurement, the approach helped staff make sure the city is
staying inline with its vision for Clearwater for the next twenty years, while keeping in
mind that 20 year vision cannot be solely measured by what is done in one year.
City Leadership
The City of Clearwater has a diverse, yet cohesive group of collaborative leaders. There
are three interesting dynamics that have helped Clearwater's leaders flourish, and while
one or two of these dynamics may be found in other cities, Clearwater is very fortunate to
have all three. The first dynamic is between The City Commission and the City Attorney
and City Manager. Both the City Manager and the City Attorney keep constant contact
with the Mayor and Commissioners and both have regularly scheduled meetings with the
Commission in an effort keep them as informed about the state of the city as possible.
The second and perhaps the rarest dynamic in municipal government that is found in the
Clearwater is the relationship between its two appointed officials, City Manager Bill
Horne and City Attorney Pam Akin. While in many government organizations these two
entities clash, in Clearwater they act as a team. They have constant contact with each
other and have become a cohesive unit when approaching all issues, no matter how
controversial they are. The third dynamic is between the City Manager, City Attorney,
and Senior Staff. In an effort to address issues in a forum with key personnel, the City
Manager and City Attorney sit down weekly with core members of the senior staff to
discuss issues that have arisen and issues that could arise. This group is able to form a
creative forum where problems can be addressed and solved before they get out of
control by having all of the key decision makers at the same table to discuss the issues at
hand.
Intergovernmental Cooperation
Over the years, Clearwater has developed intergovernmental relations that have allowed
this city to flourish. The new $70 million Clearwater Memorial Bridge, which connects
Clearwater to Clearwater Beach, is the latest and most recognizable example of these
relations. This project required cooperation between the City of Clearwater, Pinellas
County, Florida Department of Transportation, and numerous other state and federal
organizations to make it a reality. Now the bridge is scheduled to open in July of 2004
and will undoubtedly become one of the most recognized landmarks in Clearwater.
Citizen Outreach and Involvement
In an effort to enhance the involvement of Clearwater's citizens, several new initiatives
have recently been put into place including; "Clearwater 101" A Citizen's Academy that
brings the inner workings of local government to Clearwater citizens who participate;
Enhanced Town Hall meetings, held in different locations throughout the city, where staff
members, the management team and commissioners update citizens on construction
projects, development activities, city services and new programs; A newsletter style
advertisement that appears twice a month in the St. Petersburg Times that showcases
library programs, recreation opportunities, special events and more; A television show
called "Focal Point", hosted by Mr. Horne, airing on Clearwater's local channel, which
showcases non-profit and community agencies; A quarterly capital improvement
newsletter sent to residents and business owners that provides construction updates,
including roadwork, construction detours, lane closures and timelines for project work;
and a pamphlet and video, broadcast on the city's local access channel, that sets out the
city's 20-year vision and mission, including a clear plan and work parameters. The city
has also created a neighborhoods conference in an effort to get more neighborhoods
involved with the City. The second Annual conference will be February 28th of 2004.
Technology
In the last year, technology has helped to enhance the operating efficiency of the City of
Clearwater. In May 2003, the City Clerk, with the support of the City's I.T. Department,
deployed an electronic agenda management system citywide. The purpose of this system
was to transition the City of Clearwater to a paperless system for the development,
review and submission of agenda items to the City's elected Commissioners.
The City expects that this application will improve the process to take an agenda item
from origination to submission by requiring collaboration between departments early on,
by requiring departments to adhere to stricter deadlines for submission, and by allowing
the use of electronic approvals and signatures for review. Another key piece of
technology coming online this year will be the asset management system. This system
will allow the city to better track its assets and enhance the efficiencies of the work that it
does.
Innovative Programs and Services
Since 1999, the City of Clearwater has worked to help bridge the gap that exists between
Clearwater and its ever rapidly increasing Hispanic population. The Hispanic Task Force
and Operacion Apoyo Hispano (Operation Hispanic Support) are multi-faceted programs
initiated by the Clearwater Police Department that help address code enforcement, youth-
related crimes, and language barriers. Operacion Apoyo Hispano has allowed the city to
recognize the prevalence of domestic violence in the Hispanic community and create a
victim advocacy program at the local YWCA. Establishing the victim advocacy program
at the YWCA has assisted in addressing the language and communication barriers and
information from this program has already identified a significant level of victimization
in the Hispanic community that the Clearwater Police Department can now address more
readily.
Fiscal Management
A wealth of experience has made for superb fiscal management of the City of Clearwater
for a number of years. Recent examples of this include the recent upgrade of the
Clearwater Gas System's bond rating and the refinancing of bonds for the city. For a
longer view of Clearwater's excellent fiscal management, one may look towards the
many Government Finance Officers Association awards for Budget and certificates of
achievement that Clearwater has obtained. With the current state of the economy, fiscal
managers have been challenged to think outside of the box to find ways to reduce
expenditures and increase revenues without reducing the quality of life of Clearwater's
citizens. The Clearwater finance department has done this at a high level for many years
and will continue to do so for years to come.
WILLIAM B. HORNE II, CITY MANAGER OF THE YEAR
Bill Horne has been city manager in Clearwater, Florida since July 2000. Prior to that, he
served as the city's assistant city manager. Mr. Horne had a distinguished career in the
military until 1998, retiring as Colonel; highlights of his career were his positions of
Director of Manpower, Personnel and Administration in the United States Central
Command at MacDill Air Force Base, Florida, and Commander, 374 Support Group in
the United States Air Force at Yokota Air Base, Japan. He holds a Master of Political
Science from Auburn University, a Master of Human Resources Management from
Pepperdine University and a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from the University of
Tulsa. Mr. Horne leads by example. He is highly ethical, enthusiastic and results
oriented. High integrity, honesty, openness, selflessness, and professional cooperation
characterize his management style. He builds morale with fair play at all levels. He is
known for his consensus building, human relations, and interpersonal and organizational
skills.
Public trust is arguably the single most important factor for good government. Once lost
it is almost impossible to regain. When earned, it is invaluable and must be protected.
Prior to Mr. Home's appointment to Clearwater's top post, trust in the local government
was questionable. City projects commonly drew fire for running over budget and being
ushered through with little or no public input. A public referendum to revitalize the city's
downtown waterfront had failed and public trust was reaching an all-time low.
Upon appointment as city manager, Mr. Horne set out to reestablish faith in government.
He placed a premium on good, open, honest communication. City staff was refocused to
seek and value public feedback. He wanted citizens to know about their local
government, and wanted them to participate. Now, citizen input is not only welcomed
and encouraged, it is solicited. Mr. Horne has designed programs to reach out, inform,
and involve citizens in their local government.
To achieve this, Mr. Horne put several new initiatives into practice, including; Clearwater
101: A Citizen's Academy, which brings the inner workings of local government to
Clearwater citizens who participate; Enhanced Town Hall meetings, held in different
locations throughout the city, where staff members, the management team and
commissioners update citizens on construction projects, development activities, city
services and new programs; A newsletter style advertisement that appears twice a month
in the St. Petersburg Times that showcases library programs, recreation opportunities,
special events and more; A television show, Focal Point, hosted by Mr. Horne, airing on
Clearwater's local channel, which showcases non-profit and community agencies; A
quarterly capital improvement newsletter sent to residents and business owners that
provides construction updates, including roadwork, construction detours, lane closures
and timelines for project work; and pamphlet and video, broadcast on the city's local
access channel, that sets out the city's 20-year vision and mission, including a clear plan
and work parameters.
2
With the city initiatives aimed at renewed public trust and revitalization of public
involvement thriving, Mr. Horne has helped fuel an amazing transformation in this
coastal community of nearly 109,000. Redevelopment of this built-out city has hit full
stride, and it includes some amazing projects that have required Mr. Horne to achieve
consensus building, craft partnerships with both public and private entities, and the
creation of an implementation strategy of the Clearwater City Commission's twenty year
vision for Clearwater.
The redevelopment opportunities that Mr. Horne has spearheaded have included the
construction of numerous major projects in a challenging economic environment. In the
last year under the guidance of Mr. Horne, Clearwater has completed a new library, a
new recreation/aquatic complex, reconstructed a police substation and finished an
extensive streetscape project on Clearwater Beach. However, this is just the tip of the
iceberg. Scheduled for completion in 2004 is a beautiful new $20 million library on the
bluff in downtown Clearwater, a new baseball stadium which will serve as the spring
training home of the Philadelphia Phillies and the minor league home of the Clearwater
Threshers (an affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies), and a $70 Million bridge connecting
downtown Clearwater to Clearwater Beach.
Mr. Horne also put to work his Master of Human Resources degree when he arrived in
Clearwater. The City of Clearwater has no greater resources than its employees, and
optimal use of that resource was not being achieved prior to Mr. Home's arrival. As a
result, Mr. Horne decided to reorganize the organizational structure of the cities senior
3
management personnel to ensure that resources were being properly. Utilized. Prior to
his tenure as City Manager, the City Manager and Assistant City Managers oversaw a
group of administrators who in turn over saw the individual department directors. Mr.
Horne identified this as an inefficient use of resources and an inefficient way to
communicate. To rectify these inefficiencies, all but one of the administrator jobs were
eliminated. Now department director's report directly to either the City Manager or the
Assistant City Manager. By eliminating this layer of middle management, Mr. Horne
achieved savings in the six-figure range and eliminated an unneeded level of upper
middle management, thus enhancing communication. The lone remaining administrator
is the Public Works Administrator. Mr. Horne decided that it was vital to keep the
departments focusing on Public Works under one specialized manager who could then
report to the Assistant City Manager. Because the Public Services, Engineering, and
Public Utilities departments that make up Public Works Administration need to have a
cohesive bond between them, their unification under the Public Works Administrator was
and has been vital.
No one has ever questioned Mr. Home's commitment as the City Manager of Clearwater.
To say what is and is not a normal day for Mr. Horne is impossible, because the job by its
nature is abnormal and almost cannot be measured day by day because the job is
constant. Mr. Horne is constantly thinking about how to handle situations that have
arisen or could arise, working though issues with staff, and working with commissioners
to make sure that their vision of what the city's direction should be matches up with what
the city is doing. Typically Mr. Horne begins prior to 5 a.m. with his daily exercise at the
4
local gym to keep his body and mind healthy for what is regularly a long and exhausting
day. After his exercise at the gym he immediately ventures to City Hall and begins to
work through whatever issues are at hand. At 5 p.m., when most employees end their
day, Mr. Horne remains at his desk, often finding it the best time to get caught up on the
myriad of e-mails and phone messages that he receives daily. In addition to his never
ending days at work, Mr. Horne finds it important to attend every public meeting he can.
This allows him to remain close to the needs and wants of the citizens and to explain to
them the direction the city is going in. Mr. Horne takes pride in working until the job is
not only completed, but also done correctly.

Since her appointment in August 1985, Cyndie Goudeau has exhibited commitment, initiative,
innovation, and integrity in her position as City Clerk. Affiliations with professional and
citywide organizations are examples of how she has kept the city clerk's role dynamic as the
expectations and services of municipal government have changed with time.
Her involvement with the International Institute of Municipal Clerks, Pinellas County Municipal
Clerks Association, Florida Association of City Clerks, and Leadership Pinellas show her
commitment to uphold the responsibilities expected of a city clerk and her initiative to learn and
share new practices with colleagues. Cyndie has been a member of the International Institute of
Municipal Clerks since 1982 and is presently working on the second level of the Master
Municipal Clerk Academy. Cyndie currently serves as the Chair of the Florida Association of
City Clerks' Legislative Committee. She is an alumna of Leadership Pinellas Class of '96 and
remains an active member. Cyndie has coordinated the annual class trip to Tallahassee for the
past several years and has served on the Executive Board as Secretary for the past two years.
As City Clerk, Cyndie oversees a myriad of functions, including citywide records management,
Commission agenda production, grant coordination, preparation of minutes for many of the
City's advisory boards and committees, and the conduction of City elections. In 2003, Cyndie
and the City Attorney facilitated the Charter Review Committee and assisted committee
members with charter revisions presented to the Commission. She is constantly looking for
ways to improve the operation of the Official Records and Legislative Services Department,
emphasizing quality and customer service. Most recently, Cyndie has been the instrumental
force behind the City implementing an Electronic Document Management System and instituting
an Electronic Agenda Workflow Program co-developed with Identitech.
The Electronic Document Management System, or FYI, has improved employees' and citizens'
ability to access City records such as contracts, leases, deeds, ordinances, commission minutes,
and commission mail. Over twelve thousand documents have been scanned into FYI. This
software has proven to be an innovative way to manage important documents in a cost-effective
and time efficient manner. Employees and citizens no longer need to make, or store,
unnecessary copies of documents nor must they wait for an employee to send a hard copy. The
public may access these records through the City's Internet website.
Enhancing the capabilities of FYI, the Electronic Agenda Program was created to streamline the
commission agenda process while reducing paper waste. The Electronic Agenda Program allows
commission agenda items to be routed electronically instead of physically, saving staff time and
paper costs. This process allows different city departments to collaborate on agenda items
electronically and expedite the process through the City Manger and City Clerk's office more
efficiently. Soon a courier will no longer have to deliver agenda packets to Commission
members' homes. Instead, they will receive their packets on their laptop computers. Ultimately,
Cyndie envisions the Electronic Agenda Program to include automatic minutes production.
In addition to her duties as a city clerk, Cyndie also acts as the City's official Legislative Liaison.
She has enhanced Clearwater's ability to seek assistance with grants, appropriations, and
legislative priorities by contracting Federal and State lobbyists. The use of lobbyists has not only
facilitated the appropriations awarded to the City, it has also enhanced the existing relationship
with our legislators. Coordinating Federal and State Legislative Packages has also improved the
City's ability to relay its issues and priorities to the legislators.
Cyndie's involvement with organizations such as the Florida League of Cities and the Clearwater
Chamber of Commerce has established a network composed of different municipal leaders and
resources for the City. As a member of the Chamber's Governmental Affairs Committee, she is
given the opportunity to build relations with local citizens and business leaders and share insight
regarding issues affecting local residents.

MSTU
Task Force Recommendations
2.
4.
A Tax Equity Board shall be created. It should be charged to review, on a three-year basis, the
cost/benefit ratio submitted by the County Budget Department and determine a fair distribution of
the tax load for the services provided. Support for the Board's efforts would come from an ad-hoc
staff, evolving from the technical committee utilized by the Task Force, made up of
representatives from the budgetary departments of the cities and the County Budget Director. The
Board's recommendations would be forwarded to the County Commission for endorsement and
adoption during the normal budget cycle each year.
I believe this is an approach the City of Clearwater should support. This was basically one of the
recommendations of the MSTU 'T'echnical Resources Committee. It was recommended that
County and City representatives meet periodically to review .MST"U allocation assumptions and
methodologies. The County has made significant improvements to the NISTC budget in the last
few years, but this process can help to keep the lines of communisation open between the County
and. Cities.
Through cooperation of the County and the cities, staff management teams should be developed to
review the following remaining equity issues and provide reports on the various areas to the
County Commission and the Mayors' Council:
• Water/Sewer surcharge (25%) for unincorporated residents within municipal service
areas.
• Fire District revenue allocation to cities.
• Pinellas County Library Cooperative revenue allocation to cities.
None of the three issues above were tasked. to the MSTU Task Force or Technical Committee. All
of these issues are complex in. themselves, and I expect, similar to the MSTU Task Force and
Technical Committees, could require just as much time and resources to review appropriately.
• The one-half cent sales tax revenue allocation.
On this issue, I believe the County needs to establish a policy that distributes the one-half cent
sales tax revenue consistently between the County budget and the MS'Tt budget. The most
obvious allocation would be taxable values in. each agency. As far as the review process, this
review could be performed as part of the review process noted in item #I above.
County staff should recommend and Board of County Commissioners should approve a more
defmitive Fund Balance policy for the MSTU.
I would recommend the City of Clearwater support this recommendation. All cities, counties and.
governmental agencies should have an established fund balance policy.
County staff and the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office will review the MSTU allocation
methodology with the city managers annually.
Any efforts to share information regarding the MSTU allocation methodology of the Sheriff's
Office should be supported. The allocation of the Sheriff s budget was the most contentious issue
during the review process. Open communication on this complex issue should be encouraged,
although 1 believe a review process with the "Tax Equity Board" recommended above might be a
better audience, in that the technical aspects of the Sheriffs budget allocation could be reviewed
in finer detail at that level.
TO: BILL HORNS, CITY MANAGER
FROM: CYNDI TARAPANI, PLANNING DIRECTOR
RE: REVIEW OF PINELLAS PLANNING COUNCIL
DATE: FEBRUARY 27, 2004
Recently, the Pinellas County Charter Review Committee discussed the possibility of
eliminating the Pinellas Planning Council. The stated reason was to eliminate duplication of
planning services between the Pinellas Planning Council and the Pinellas County Planning
Department. Several other cities in the County have formally stated their positions to retain the
Pinellas Planning Council through official action of the Commission. Through this
memorandum, we request that the City Commission discuss this item and determine whether or
not they wish to formally state their position on the status of the Pinellas Planning Council.
Several issues to consider include the following:
1. The central issue is to determine whether or not countywide planning is important
in Pinellas County. If countywide planning is important and should be retained,
then both the Pinellas Planning Council and the Countywide Planning Agency
should also be retained since they perform different functions in the countywide
planning process. If countywide planning should not be retained, then both the
Pinellas Planning Council and the Countywide Planning Agency can be
eliminated along with countywide planning. If countywide planning were
eliminated, each community would make their own decisions without County
oversight regarding land use, transportation and other planning issues.
2. The Council and the countywide planning process were established by Special
Act of the Florida Legislature; therefore, the Florida Legislature must approve
elimination of or changes to this process.
The Pinellas County Planning Department performs only one countywide
planning function, which is their role as advisor and staff to the Metropolitan
Planning Agency (MPO). The MPO's function relates solely to transportation
planning and has no regulatory control over land use issues.
4. The Pinellas Planning Council performs other functions in addition to its
countywide planning role. The Council reviews all annexation requests and
prepares research on major issues of interest to all County communities such as
the Redevelopment study, Wireless Communication Towers study, etc. At the
request of and paid for by the local community, the Council will prepare planning
studies or research for the city.
Due to the timely nature of this issue, Commission discussion of this item is scheduled
for March 2, 2004. Please let me know if I can provide further information. Thank you.

Dear Mr. XXXXXXXXX:
We are in receipt of information that your property located at: XXX Narcissus Avenue is being
used for overnight accommodations, commonly known as short-term rental (rental for less than
one calendar month.). This courtesy letter is to notify you that this business practice is in violation
of the City of Clearwater's Community Development Code. Continued use of this property for
overnight accommodations a/k/a short-term rental use may result in enforcement action being
taken.
On April 17, 2003, the City Commission adopted Ordinance 7105-03 that describes prima facie
evidence of certain uses in a residential zoning district and clarifies definitions of a dwelling unit,
overnight accommodations and residential use.
Overnight accommodations as defined in the City of Clearwater Development Code means: any use
that provides transient lodging accommodations to the public, including interval ownership.
Allowable accessory uses shall be integral to the principal use and may include, but shall not be
limited to offices, restaurants and retail provided such uses are integral to the primary use.
Overnight accommodations is not a permitted use in an LMDR zoning district.
NOTE: This code is being challenged and is awaiting review by the Circuit Court, Sixth Judicial
Circuit in Pinellas County at the request of other property owners who desire to have their
properties available for short-term rental. Appropriate action by our office will be taken upon the
Court's final ruling.
Please contact Bob Hall, Development Services Manager at 727-562-4723, if this information on
your property is incorrect or if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Jeff Kronschnabl, Director
Development and Neighborhood Services

Subject: Short-term Rentals
Dear Mayor and Commissioners,
I met yesterday with Bill Horne, Leslie Dougall-Sides and Jeff Kronschnabl to discuss the flourishing short-term rental
business in our residential neighborhood on North Clearwater Beach.
The ordinance has not cooled the business here, nor have the letters that went out after my request to Mayor Aungst
in October. The lawsuit will not be acted on in the foreseeable future. And the properties being advertised for short-
term rental (and used for that) are increasing by the day.
We met to ask that the city take action on this growing problem. We understand that there is a lawsuit but that affects
specific owners and specific properties. We are asking that the city take action against those properties not involved in
the lawsuit.
There are county and a city ordinances on the books that both prohibit what is taking place. We are asking that the
city ordinance be enforced. If enforcement does not start now, it will be all the more difficult to enforce in the future as
the number of properties increases.
The Clearwater Beach Association has taken a very measured response to this problem and has worked closely with
the city from the beginning. At this time we see no other alternative to enforcement as "education" seems to have
been taken as lack of interest or inability to enforce. Mr. Horne and the city staff members at the meeting agreed with
a ut assessment and recommendation.
I understand that this will be on the agenda for the next commission meeting - March 2. We ask that you provide
guidance to the city staff to vigorously enforce the ordinance and begin citing the offenders. I have attached the talking
paper I provided at the meeting for your information. If you need proof of the problem or additional citizen's input I can
certainly provide one or both.
We look forward to each of you supporting this issue and making the health of Clearwater's neighborhoods a top
priority by actively enforcing our city ordinance .
Sincerely,
David C. MacNamee, President
Clearwater Beach Association

February 26, 2004 Meeting with City Staff
•
After about 9 months of meetings and discussions, City ordinance 7105-03 was passed on
April 17, 2003. At that time there were about 60 properties on North Beach being used
as short-term rentals. Jeff Kronschnabl sent out letters in April to 6 owners of 11
properties stating that they were illegally renting properties. On June 2, 22 owners (all
but one of the owners that received the letters) filed suit against the city. The suit states
that the owners were renting short-term before April 17 and lists 28 properties that they
claim should be grandfathered.
Since that time no action has been taken against any short-term rental owner on North
Clearwater Beach. After a request to Mayor Aungst from our association in October to
contact 17 additional owners, more letters were sent. These letters also contained the
statement that "this code is being challenged and is awaiting review by the circuit court".
It also states "appropriate action will be taken by our office upon the court's final ruling."
In essence saying that nothing will be enforced until the suit is settled.
In October, there were approximately 50 properties that were being rented 'short-term.
Today, there are 55. Some are properties that are listed in the lawsuit, some are
properties that were being rented before the lawsuit and continue, some are new,
properties that have started renting since the lawsuit.
• Our concern is that the city is not actively pursuing any of these rentals that are not
involved in the lawsuit. The lawsuit is not challenging the ordinance but asking for
specific properties to be allowed to continue renting short-term. The outcome of this
lawsuit will have little, if any effect on the remaining properties.
Our question is - why won't the city take action on the properties that are not listed in the
lawsuit, especially those that began renting after the ordinance was passed?
I have some examples here -
831 Eldorado Ave - was renting before the ordinance, not sent a letter until November
2003 and is currently occupied by short-term renters
875 Bruce - began renting after ordinance - letters sent to owner and realtor - still
advertised as rental - Ms Fransen, owner and Sal Belloise, realtor.
843 Eldorado Ave - is currently being renovated for short-term rental. The owners were
sent a letter in November. In addition, this has been reported for building permit
violations.
0
739 Eldorado Ave - purchased in December 2003 and now advertised as a short-term
rental.
By our count, there are at least 9 properties that began renting after April 2003; taking
action against them would certainly impede the addition of future short-term rentals.
We certainly understand that the city cannot take action against those involved in the
lawsuit but properties that have been put up for rental since and those that are in the
process now surely can be cited and additional actions taken.
We are concerned about our neighborhood, we are a residential area on the beach where
property values have risen and investors have bought houses that used to be homes. We
don't want to lose our neighborhood to illegal businesses. As the situation stands now
there is nothing to dissuade investors from buying homes and turning them into short-
term rentals. We believe that it is easier to stop the spread now then fight even more
owners in the future.
We ask that the city take action against the property owners that have started short-term
rentals since April 2003. If you cannot, can you tell us whom we need to go to in order to
get action on this matter?

Subject: FW: 3/2/04 BCC Work Session Agenda
I attended todays BCC Work Session on the MSTU and Law Enforcement
Structures and Financing Task Force reports.
On the MSTU recommendations:
# 1. A Tax Equity Board should be created (Failed).
#2. Cooperation of County and Cities to provide reports to BCC and Mayors
Council on equity issues (Passed).
#3. BCC should approve a more definitive Fund Balance policy for the MSTU
(Failed).
#4. County staff and the PCSO will review the MSTU allocation methodology
with the city managers annually (Passed).
On the LE Structures and Financing task force, they passed every
recommendation, over my objection, regarding the issue of "Advisory" versus
"Participatory" management of consolidated services. They felt that they could
not diminish the constitutional authority of the Sheriff, and that the Pinellas
Police Standards Council could be the advisory board for providing input to the
Sheriff. They also placed conditions on their approval of all recommendations,
that funding mechanisims would have to be identified, and that all
recommendations would have to be implemented county-wide (No opt out's). I
have a video if you desire to view.
