6. Citizens to be Heard re Items Not on the Agenda

Public Hearings - Not before 6:00 PM
7.Administrative Public Hearings
7.1 Approve the Fiscal Year 2006-2007 Consolidated Action Plan to carry forward the goals
and objectives set forth in the five year Consolidated Plan created and approved in 2005 as
required by HUD, and authorize the City to enter into agreements with organizations that have
been recommended for funding in the FY06-07 Consolidated Action Plan.
HUD (U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development) requires communities that
receive entitlement funding to prepare an annual plan on how they will expend the funds that
they receive. This annual plan, referred to as a Consolidated Action Plan, provides HUD with
the City’s housing, community and economic development budgets and proposed expenditures
based on the entitlement funds and estimated program income that the City will receive. Funds
are to be used to develop viable communities and sustain existing ones. In addition, the funds
will be used to provide safe, decent and affordable housing, and expand economic opportunities
for very low to moderate income households. This year’s Action Plan allocates federal and
state funds to provide housing opportunities for very low to moderate income households for
new and existing homes, homebuyer education, construction and/or renovation of public
facilities, and to fund programs that assist the homeless, single parent households, the elderly,
the physically challenged and children, to name a few.
In Fiscal Year 2006-2007, the City is estimated to receive federal funds in the amount of
$969,479 through the CDBG (Community Development Block Grant), $543,851 through the
HOME Investment Partnership Program, and $1,041,268 from the State of Florida through SHIP
(State Housing Initiatives Partnership). Funds provided through the HOME and SHIP Programs
are limited to housing activities and administration. Funds provided through the CDBG program
may be used for housing, community and economic development, public services and facilities,
acquisition, demolition, and administration. Additional funding for the FY2006-2007 budget will
come from estimated program income funds (loan repayments, loan payoffs, recaptured funds,
etc). The City received a total of 34 applications from 21 different organizations. Only three
applications did not receive funding. The rest of the applications will be receiving an allocation
or will be participating in the City’s Housing Pool.
A review committee comprised of professionals in the social service and grants
community and one member of the City’s NAHAB (Neighborhood and Affordable Housing
Advisory Board) reviewed the applications, scored them and set forth a strategy to maximize the
number applicants that will receive a portion of allocated funds. City of Clearwater staff
reviewed each application to ensure it met HUD’s and the State’s baseline requirements. The
NAHAB at their meeting on May 9, 2006, unanimously approved the recommended allocations
contained in the FY (Fiscal Year) 2006-07 Consolidated Action Plan and approved the full
Action Plan at their July 11, 2006 meeting. Each year, the City may allocate up to 15% of its
CDBG allocation for Public Services organizations. Under the Public Services category
Council 2006-08-03 2
agencies compete for approximately $145,521 in CDBG funds. The City’s Housing Division
received requests for Public Service funding in excess of $429,482.
For the FY06-07 CAP, staff proposes to fund $165,521 in Public Service funds, because
the HRC (Willa Carson Health Resource Center) is classified as a CBDO (Community Based
Development Organization) and they are operating in the NRSA (North Greenwood
Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area). HUD allows entitlement communities to exceed
their Public Services cap, if they provide funding to the CBDO operating in a NRSA. Since the
NAHAB and Council has endorsed a sliding scale funding system for Public Service applicants
that allows the top two scorers to receive 60% of their request; the second two receive 50% of
their request, and others receive 40% of their request until all of the allowable funds are
allocated. This allowed all Public Service applicants to receive some funding rather than some
agencies not receiving any funding. The same methodology was also used this year for the
Public Facility applications. All organizations that will be receiving an allocation, or participating
in the City’s Housing or Housing Education Pools, will have agreements prepared and executed
by October 1, 2006.
Councilmember Jonson moved to approve the Fiscal Year 2006-2007 Consolidated
Action Plan to carry forward the goals and objectives set forth in the five year Consolidated Plan
created and approved in 2005 as required by HUD, and authorize the City to enter into
agreements with organizations that have been recommended for funding in the FY06-07

10.1 Pass Ordinance 7676-06 on first reading changing the date of the Clearwater
Employees Pension Plan special election to March 13, 2007.
Council 2006-08-03 6
Due to the length of the November 14, 2006 ballot, the pension referendum is being
moved to a later date. This change will not cause any undue problems. Staff can still start the
work they would have done after the November referendum. This would minimize the effect of
moving the referendum and staff would be in a position to move forward assuming the
referendum passes.

10.2 Adopt Resolution 06-36 authorizing the Marine & Aviation Department to act as Project
Manager for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) Boating
Infrastructure Grant Program on behalf of the City of Clearwater.
Applying for grant funding with the FWC (Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation
Commission) for their Boating Infrastructure Grant Program requires the Governing Body adopt
a resolution authorizing the Project Manager (the Marine and Aviation Dept.) apply for and
administer the grant on behalf of the Applicant (the City).
This program provides funds from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to the states to
install or upgrade tie-up facilities for transient recreational boats 26 feet or more in length. A
project is eligible for funding if it proposes to construct, renovate, and maintain publicly owned
boating infrastructure tie-up facilities. To be eligible the City must: - Build these tie-up facilities
on navigable waters, available to the public and design the new construction and renovations to
last at least 20 years; - Design these tie-up facilities for temporary use for transient non-
trailerable recreational vessels; - Build these tie-up facilities in water deep enough for non-
trailerable recreational vessels to navigate (a minimum of 6 feet of depth at the lowest tide or
other measure of lowest fluctuation); - Provide security, safety, and service for these boats; and,
- Install a pump-out station, if constructing a facility for overnight stays.
A project is ineligible for funding if the tie-up slips available for occupancy are for more
than 10 consecutive days by a single party. The purpose of this request is to be prepared if the
City applies for project funding for a portion of the Downtown Boat Slips.

10.3 Adopt Resolution 06-35 approving Lease 520010893 with the Board of Trustees of the
Internal Improvement Trust Fund of the State of Florida for use of sovereign submerged lands
beneath Pier 60.
The 5-year renewal lease document, prepared by the State, Sovereignty Submerged
Land Lease 520010893 with the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund
(T.I.I.F.), terminated March 31, 2006. The lease premises underlay the Pier 60 footprint on
Clearwater beach and include 14,450 square-feet, more or less, of state bottomlands. On
December 12, 2005, the Marine and Aviation Department Director provided timely written notice
to the Department of Environmental Properties, Bureau of Public Land Administration of the
City’s interest in renewing the subject lease for another five years. The renewal was delayed
due to the quantity of leases being processed and the fact that they wait on the new rates that
come out yearly in March.
The lease remains substantially unchanged except for the annual Consumer Price Index
increases. The City paid an annual lease fee of $3,975.08 for 2006/2007, budgeted for in the
Pier 60 operating budget. The DEP bases this fee on a rate chart category of two times the
aquatic preserve with natural shoreline. Last year the charge was .275092 times the 14,450
square-feet of bottomland. The cost of renewing the lease for five years is $512. The DEP
implemented a new rule in effect as of January 1, 2006. The City now has to report all income
taken in during the previous April through February period for fish admission, general
admission, and fish passes. This amount is then multiplied by 6% and the previous annual
lease fee is subtracted from it. Any balance remaining is payment required back to the DEP.
The income made on admission and fish passes for January through March 2005 was
$25,427.29. This amount times 6% is $1,525.64. Because this is less than the $3,877.37 paid
last year, the City does not owe the DEP any more this year; $25,427.29 income from
admissions from January 2006 – March 2006 x 6% determined by the DEP $1,525.64 -
$3,877.37 annual lease fee paid the DEP for 2005/2006 = $0 - nothing more owed to DEP. If
the City had to report the entire year, it would have owed the DEP an additional $3,942. This
will have to be budgeted for in the future.
Councilmember Jonson moved to approve Lease 520010893 with the Board of Trustees

lands beneath Pier 60. The was duly seconded and unanimously.
Resolution 06-35 was presented and read by title only. Councilmember Petersen moved
to pass and adopt Resolution 06-35 and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same.
The motion was duly seconded and upon roll call, the vote was:
"Ayes": Petersen, Hamilton, Jonson, Doran, and Hibbard.

10.4 Pass Ordinance 7672-06 on first reading, amending the Charter to allow for boat slips to
be built and operated at the Clearwater bay front; setting out the form of the ballot question to
Council 2006-08-03 8
go to referendum; and setting the date of November 7, 2006 for a special election for the
referendum vote.
The City of Clearwater has experienced a loss of wetslips and drystacks due to private
redevelopment. The Pinellas County Boating Access Task Force documented a loss of 341
wetslips and 960 drystack racks in Pinellas County from 1996 to 2005. The City Marina waiting
list has been capped and demand for boat slips continues to grow. The Downtown Plan
contemplates and encourages boat slips, docks and promenades on the waterfront, and
provision for such facilities is consistent with said Plan as well as the City of Clearwater's
Comprehensive Plan. Pursuant to direction from the City Council, a feasibility study was
conducted and the results were presented at the July 18, 2006 Council meeting. A referendum
election is necessary to amend the Charter to allow for the building and maintenance of such
amenities.
The City Attorney reviewed changes made in response to discussion at work session.
Suggestions were made for changes: 1) Page one, paragraph one “WHEREAS, the City
of Clearwater has experienced a loss of wetslips and high and dry boat storage due to private
redevelopment; and . . . ”; 2) Page one, paragraph three “WHEREAS, the City of Clearwater
marina waiting list has been capped and demand for boat slips continues to grow; and . . .”; 3)
Page one, add paragraph four “WHEREAS during the City Council Visioning process, which
included 8 hearings in various areas of the City, many citizens reinforced the vision of
Clearwater as a waterfront community and desired to have boat slips on the Downtown
waterfront”; 4) Clarify that the promenade will be built on a portion of the footprint of the former
bridge and 5) Substitute “parking structure” for “parking garage.”
Consensus was to accept all the changes, except changing to “parking structure”.
It was suggested that the ballot question include language that indicates City residents
will receive first priority for dedicated boat slips and ensures publicly accessible docks.
Consensus was to incorporate the language.
One person spoke in opposition to the item.
It was stated that in addition to 129 boat slips, the proposal provides spots for boaters to
tie up during the day while visiting downtown. It was recommended staff develop a rendering to
help citizens visualize the proposed docks. It was commented that the proposal is a first step
towards making Coachman Park a great place, an activity center always open to the public.
Councilmember Doran moved to approve amending the Charter to allow for boat slips to
be built and operated at the Clearwater bay front; setting out the form of the ballot question to
go to referendum; and setting the date of November 7, 2006 for a special election for the
referendum vote, with amendments: 1) Page one, paragraph one to read “WHEREAS, the City
of Clearwater has experienced a loss of wetslips and high and dry boat storage due to private
redevelopment; and . . . ”; 2) Page one, paragraph three to read “WHEREAS, the City of
Clearwater marina waiting list has been capped and demand for boat slips continues to grow;
