(consent) Since 1970, the City of Clearwater has operated a centrally-located solid waste transfer station. This facility is used by department route trucks to increase efficiency, by allowing the trucks to dump quickly and return to route collection. At the time of its construction, the Transfer Station facility was projected to last for twenty years and handle up to 400 tons of waste weekly. Currently the facility is forty-four years old and is depended upon to handle an average of 340 tons of waste daily. The facility's age, increased tonnage, increased maintenance requirements, and deterioration of the building and its foundation necessitates that a new facility be constructed. Page 4 City of Clearwater City Council Meeting Minutes October 15, 2014 After preliminary designs and surveys are completed, the department will present to Council a total cost for the project. The total cost of the project is expected to be in the range of$18 million to $20 million. APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT: 0-424-00000-389902 Unappropriated Retained Earnings In response to questions, Solid Waste and General Services Director Earl Gloster said if the transfer station was not constructed, $2.2 million would be needed to purchase additional vehicles: 2 automated side loaders, 2 front loaders, and 2 roll-off trucks. The cost for vehicle replacement would be scheduled as needed. The $3.3 million-avoided cost includes personnel and fuel costs. Councilmember Polglaze moved to approve establishing a new Capital Improvement Project entitled Transfer Station Rebuild (CIP 315-96447) for $1,000,000, to be funded from unappropriated retained earnings of the Solid Waste Fund, for preliminary site work to include but not limited to geotechnical surveys, land surveys, and preliminary design needed for the new Transfer Station facility. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously. Public Hearings - Not before 6:00 PM 8. Administrative Public Hearings 8.1 Approve the annexation, initial Future Land Use Map designation of Residential Low (RL) and initial Zoning Atlas designation of Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR) District for 1452, 1473, and 1479 Grove Circle Court (Grove Circle Subdivision Lots 8, 12, and 13 in Section 2, Township 29 South, Range 15 East); and pass Ordinances 8596-14, 8597-14 and 8598-14 on first reading. (ANX2014-07013) This voluntary annexation petition involves three parcels of land totaling 0.719 acres. Two parcels are occupied by a single-family dwelling, and the third parcel is currently vacant. The three lots are on Grove Circle Court generally south of Sunset Point Road (SR 576), east of Kings Highway, north of Palmetto Street, and west of North Highland Avenue. The applicants are requesting annexation in order to receive solid waste service from the City, and will connect to City sewer when it is available in the future, as part of the City's Grove Circle Court Septic-to-Sewer Project. The properties are contiguous to existing City boundaries along at least one boundary. It is proposed that the properties be assigned a Future Land Use Map designation of Residential Low (RL) and a Zoning Atlas designation of Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR). The Planning and Development Department determined that the proposed annexations are consistent with the provisions of Clearwater Community Page 5 City of Clearwater City Council Meeting Minutes October 15, 2014 Development Code Section 4-604.E as follows: • The properties currently receive water service from the City. Collection of solid waste will be provided to the properties by the City. The applicants will connect to the City's sanitary sewer service when it is available, and are aware of the fee that must be paid in order to connect and the financial incentives available. The properties are located within Police District II and service will be administered through the district headquarters located at 645 Pierce Street. Fire and emergency medical services will be provided to the properties by Station 51 located at 1720 Overbrook Avenue. The City has adequate capacity to serve the properties with sanitary sewer, solid waste, police, fire and EMS service. The proposed annexations will not have an adverse effect on public facilities and their levels of service; and • The proposed annexations are consistent with and promote the following objectives and policy of the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan: Objective A.6.4 Due to the built-out character of the City of Clearwater, compact urban development within the urban service area shall be promoted through application of the Clearwater Community Development Code. Objective A.7.2 Diversify and expand the City's tax base through the annexation of a variety of land uses located within the Clearwater Planning Area. Policy A.7.2.3 Continue to process voluntary annexations for single-family residential properties upon request. • The proposed Residential Low (RL) Future Land Use Map category is consistent with the current Countywide Plan designation of this property. This designation primarily permits residential uses at a density of 5 units per acre. The proposed zoning district to be assigned to the properties is the Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR) District. The use of the subject properties are consistent with the uses allowed in the District and the properties exceed the District's minimum dimensional requirements. The proposed annexations are therefore consistent with the Countywide Plan and the City's Comprehensive Plan and Community Development Code; and The properties proposed for annexation are contiguous to existing City boundaries along at least one property boundary; therefore, the annexation is consistent with Florida Statutes Chapter 171.044.

He thanked Council and city staff for their continued support. 10.2Solid Waste and Recycling Rate Study Presentation - Burton and Associates There was consensus that a presentation was not needed since the Page 12 City of Clearwater City Council Meeting Minutes October 15, 2014 presentation was given at the work session. 11. City Manager Reports 11.1Approve establishing a new Capital Improvement Project entitled Recycling Processing Center Expansion and Upgrade (CIP 315-96809) for $1,000,000, to be funded from unappropriated retained earnings of the Recycling Fund, for preliminary site work to include but not limited to geotechnical surveys, land surveys, preliminary design, and equipment needed for the new Recycling Processing facility. (consent) In October 2013, the City of Clearwater converted residential recycling collection from manual collection of 18 gallon bins to automated collection using 96 gallon carts. This change has allowed our residents to continue recycling everything they had always recycled while adding cardboard, glass, and cartons (gable top and aseptic containers) to the mix. The first twelve months of the expanded residential program (October 2013 through September 2014) has seen an average monthly collection increase from 160 tons/month to 440 tons/month. This project will provide for the expansion of the recycling processing center and the addition of processing equipment. The expansion is necessary for the increased volumes of recyclables and the processing equipment necessary to separate the co-mingled materials for market, because separated materials bring a substantially higher market price than co-mingled materials. After preliminary designs and surveys are completed, the department will present to Council a total cost for the project. The total cost of the project is expected to be in the range of$3 million to $4 million. APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT: 0-426-00000-389902 Unappropriated Retained Earnings In response to questions, Solid Waste and General Services Controller David Powers said the current balance for the Recycling Unappropriated Returned Earnings are approximately$3 million. Solid Waste and General Services Director Earl Gloster said staff plans to fund the remaining balance project from the Solid Waste Reserve Fund. Mr. Powers said the annual incremental difference between operating the recycling processing center or not is approximately$25,000, which includes the amortization of the equipment. Mr. Gloster said staff anticipates total project cost will be approximately$500,000. The Department considers recycling a core competency of the City, which began in 1996. The proposed project updates the City's recycling Page 13 City of Clearwater City Council Meeting Minutes October 15, 2014 service to the 21st century and eliminates the third party, increasing city revenue. The old curbside trucks are headed to auction. Councilmember Polglaze moved to approve establishing a new Capital Improvement Project entitled Recycling Processing Center Expansion and Upgrade (CIP 315-96809) for $1,000,000, to be funded from unappropriated retained earnings of the Recycling Fund, for preliminary site work to include but not limited to geotechnical surveys, land surveys, preliminary design, and equipment needed for the new Recycling Processing facility. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously.
