10. City Manager Reports
10.1Amend the Clearwater Code of Ordinances, Appendix A, relating to Parks, Beaches,
and Recreation Schedule of Fees, Rates and Charges Section XI, establishing
additional options in lieu of non-resident card purchase for youth involved in City
Co-Sponsored recreation youth groups and disabled United States military veterans
and pass Ordinance 8681-15 on first reading.
In June of 2005, the City Council approved Ordinance 7389-05 establishing
new formulas for nonresidents wishing to use City recreation facilities and/or
programs. The formula established at that time has been used for all
nonresidents including youth involved in recreation youth groups and disabled
United States veterans. That formula is as follows:
Department Office/Management Budget + Indirect Overhead - Budgeted
Revenue = Net budget divided by population = subtotal
Subtotal + Capital Improvement Program recovery component + Card
processing fee x surcharge factor = Individual non-resident yearly fee
In an effort to provide a more affordable fee for youth non-residents who
participate in one of the City's recreational youth co-sponsor groups and/or
United States veterans who are disabled, staff is recommending that additional
options in lieu of nonresident card purchase be added.
The new options will provide for the following:
1. Youth registered in a City co-sponsored recreational youth group may
purchase a non-resident individual youth sports card using the same
formula as above less a surcharge factor. (savings of$60; new fee
would be $120)
2. Two or more youth from the same family registered in a City
co-sponsored recreational youth group may purchase a non-resident
multi-youth sports card using the formula for Non-resident individual
youth sports card X 1.5. (new fee would be $180)
3. Disabled United States military veterans may get a discount on their
non-resident fee based on the percentage rate of their disability. (If
disability is 50% the fee would be 50% less than the current
Page 15

nonresident fee, which is $180 less 50% or$90.)
These options will allow more nonresident youth and families to participate in
and learn about sports from the various recreational leagues offered by City
cosponsored groups. Nonresident adults and youth make these groups
stronger and provide leadership so they can continue offering sports to the
community and in particular to the residents of Clearwater.
This ordinance also recognizes the contributions and sacrifices of our many
disabled veterans who live in nonresident areas in our county.
Councilmember Jonson moved to amend the Clearwater Code of
Ordinances, Appendix A, relating to Parks, Beaches,
and Recreation Schedule of Fees, Rates and Charges Section XI,
establishing additional options in lieu of non-resident card purchase for
youth involved in City Co-Sponsored recreation youth groups and
disabled United States military veterans. The motion was duly seconded
and carried unanimously.
Ordinance 8681-15 was presented and read by title only. Vice Mayor

motion was duly seconded and upon roll call, the vote was:
Ayes: 5 - Mayor Cretekos, Vice Mayor Hock-DiPolito, Councilmember
