19 - Authorize the City to apply for and accept $180.000 in funds oranted throuoh the
Urban Area Security Initiative for the development and coordination of an Emeroency
Manaoement Prooram. Prooram will be fully funded by the orant monies for a period of
two (2) years. (HR)
Through the Federal government's Homeland Security Department, grant funds
are available to municipalities to assist with 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 seeks to use
the funds to hire a qualified and experienced consultant to initiate and develop the
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
requirements to develop and implement new programs and systems to meet and
enhance the City's ability to respond to major emergencies, requires the hiring 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 dedicated specifically 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 Citywide 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. If supported, a decision will be made to
seek additional grant money or institutionalize the position through the normal budget
process.
In response to a question, Human Resources Director Joe Roseto said the City is
not obligated to continue the position after two years. During the two-year time period,
staff will determine if the position should be retained. If so, that recommendation would
be submitted through the normal budget process. Concern was expressed the position
may be retained automatically after grant funding ceases.
Commissioner Hibbard moved to 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, which will be
fully funded by the grant monies for a period of two years. The motion was duly
seconded and carried unanimously.

b) Public Works Administrator Mahshid Arasteh said due to changes in the Memorial
Causeway bridge construction schedule, parking will be returned to the south side of
Cleveland Street by May 3, 2004.
26 - Commission Discussion Items:
a) Pinellas Assembly Recommendations re Municipal Service Taxing Units (MSTUs).
Budget Director Tina Wilson presented the following MSTU Task Force
recommendations:
.
Commission 2004-03-02
8
.
1. 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.
Ms. Wilson felt the City should support this approach. This was one of the
recommendations of the MSTU Technical Resouces Committee. It was recommended
that County and City representatives meet periodically to review MSTU allocation
assumptions and methodologies. The County has made significant improvements to the
MSTU budget in the last few years, but this process could help keep lines of
communication open between the County and cities.
2. Through cooperation of the County and cities, staff management teams should
be developed to review the remaining equity issues and provide reports on the various
areas to the County Commission and Mayors' Council: 1) water/sewer surcharge of 25%
for unincorporated residents within municipal service areas; 2) Fire District revenue
allocation to cities; 3) Pinellas County Library Cooperative revenue allocation to cities;
and 4) the one-half cent sales tax revenue allocation.
.
Ms. Wilson reported none of the first three complex issues was tasked to the
MSTU Task Force or Technical Committee and would require significant time and
resources for appropriate review. Regarding the one-half cent sales tax revenue
allocation, Ms. Wilson believed the County needs to establish a policy that distributes the
one-half cent sales tax revenue consistently between the County budget and the MSTU
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.
3. County staff should recommend and the Board of County Commissioners
should approve a more definitive Fund Balance policy for the MSTU.
Ms. Wilson recommended the City's support of this recommendation as all cities,
counties, and governmental agencies should have an established fund balance policy.
4. County staff and the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office will review the MSTU
allocation methodology with the city managers annually.
Ms. Wilson felt 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 Ms. Wilson believed a review
process with the Tax Equity Board recommended above might be a better audience, in
that the technical aspects of the Sheriff's budget allocation could be reviewed in finer
detail at that level.
.
Commission 2004-03-02
9
.
.
.
Ms. Wilson said the County Commission voted against creating a Tax Equity
Board. It was indicated the County Commission had not wanted to create a new entity
and opposed the measure by a vote of 2:3.
Ms. Wilson reported there were issues with the Sheriff's cost allocations. The
Technical Committee had looked at the cost accounting in depth and basically agreed
with the main MSTU and Sheriff's budget. In response to a question, Ms. Wilson said
the Committee had looked at how Penny for Pinellas funds had been spent.
Ms. Wilson said a policy for distribution would have to be developed for a half-
cent sales tax. The County Commission supported Issue #2.
The County Commission had rejected a definitive fund balance policy as they
thought existing policies deal with this. Ms. Wilson said the committee had not been
provided with related policies.
Regarding the MSTU allocation methodology, Ms. Wilson said she did not know
how the review would work. The City Manager said this issue is a source of conflict
between local cities and the County, as the allocation does not cover the cost of doing
business. Ms. Wilson stated the County was very helpful in providing the committee with
information.
Commissioner Jonson moved to accept staff recommendations related to MSTU
(Municipal Service Taxing Units). The motion was duly seconded and carried
unanimously.
b) County Charter Review Proposal - Eliminate the Pinellas Planning Council.
In her February 27,2004, memorandum to the City Manager, Planning Director
Cyndi Tarapani reported the Pinellas County Charter Review Committee had discussed
abolishing the PPC (Pinellas Planning Council) to eliminate duplication of planning
services between the PPC and Pine lias County Planning Department. Several cities
have indicated support of retaining the PPC through official action.
Staff requests City Commission consideration of several issues and to determine
if countywide planning is important in Pinellas County and should be retained. The PPC
and Countywide Planning Agency perform different functions in the countywide planning
process. If countywide planning should not be retained, the PPC and Countywide
Planning Agency could be eliminated along with countywide planning and each
community then would make its own decisions without County oversight regarding land
use, transportation, and other planning issues.
As the PPC and countywide planning process were established by a Special Act
of the Florida Legislature, the Florida Legislature must approve elimination of or changes
to this process.
The Pinellas County Planning Department only performs one countywide
planning function in its role as advisor and staff to the MPO (Metropolitan Planning
Commission 2004-03-02
10
.
.
.
Organization). The MPO's function relates solely to transportation planning. The MPO
has no regulatory control over land use issues.
In addition to its countywide planning role, the PPC performs functions, such as a
review of all annexation requests and 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 PPC will prepare planning
studies or research for the City.
Ms. Tarapani expressed concern regarding the time frame to consider this issue.
She said the PPC provides a valid countywide perspective and reviewed the agency's
budget and staff requirements.
It was reported that a joint meeting is in the process of being scheduled between
the PPC and the County Commission to discuss each other's role. It was recommended
the City Commission delay issuing a resolution until after this meeting.
It was noted the County Commission does not have the authority to disband the
PPC but could withhold all agency funding. It was felt the PPC provides a valuable
function and is a great resource for cities.
No action was taken.
c) Short-term Rentals.
The City Manager requested direction regarding enforcement of the City's short-
term rental ordinance. Currently, the City has been educating property owners without
active enforcement.
Development & Neighborhood Services Director Jeff Kronschnabl reported staff
has served notices to investors on Clearwater Beach regarding the City's ordinance
prohibiting short-term rentals, but no changes have occurred. Short-term rentals and the
advertising of short-term rentals continue. Staff has met with County representatives
regarding this issue. In response to a question, Mr. Kronschnabl said staff has followed
up on reports of non-permitted modifications.
In response to a question, the City Attorney indicated some property owners
previously had filed a legal challenge against the ordinance, claiming their properties are
"grandfathered."
Concern was expressed in potential purchasers being misled by realtors that
properties they are buying can be used for short-term rentals. Concern was also
expressed this could open the City to litigation.
Discussion ensued regarding the short-term rental ordinance and it was felt it is
time for the City to step up enforcement. Related problems are spilling over to other
areas of the City. A recommendation was made that reminders be sent again to major
realtors regarding short-term rental limits.
Commission 2004-03-02
11
.
.
.
Consensus was for staff to enforce the ordinance prohibiting short-term rentals
on properties not involved in current litigation and to send letters again to major realtors
regarding the ordinance.
Discussion re Charter Amendments:
Concern was expressed in misinformation being spread regarding the proposed
Charter amendments.
Discussion ensued regarding the charter amendments and the voters were
encouraged to get educated and research amendment issues. It was noted all
Commissioners support referendum questions.
27 - Other Commission Action
