1. Call to Order— Mayor Cretekos
The meeting was called to order at 1:34 p.m. at City Hall.
2. Gas System
2.1 Increase Purchase Order 509714, in the amount of$200,000, extend the expiration
date to May 31, 2015 with Florida Gas Contractors for the replacement of antiquated
gas mains and service lines, and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same.
(consent)
Florida Gas Contractors (FGC) is the primary contractor currently installing gas
mains and service lines to meet residential, commercial and industrial
customer requirements in support of gas Sales and Operations.
Since April 2012, FGC has replaced our antiquated (i.e., bare steel and cast
iron) natural gas mains and service lines under Bid 10-12. This contract has
been renewed two times and is scheduled to expire on March 31, 2015. Due
to the current work-in-progress, Clearwater Gas System is requesting a time
extension to the PO through May 31, 2015. With the additional labor and
resources FGC has dedicated to the project over the last several months, an
additional $200,000 funding is requested to accommodate completion work
during the two-month time extension. The City Manager approved a $100,000
increase in February; however, additional funds are required to finalize the
current work. During this extended period, FGC will extend and tie-in newly
installed mains to existing mains and service line connections. A new bid will
be issued in April 2015 and awarded to the lowest, responsive bidder in May.
CGS will have approximately 25 miles of cast iron and bare steel pipeline
remaining once FGC completes currently scheduled work.
APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT:
The original PO amount was for $1,640,300; a $100,000 increase was recently
approved by the City Manager; and this increase of$200,000 would bring the
total PO to $1,940,300.

Funds are available in capital improvement project 315-96377, Pinellas New
Mains and Service Lines, to fund this contract.
USE OF RESERVE FUNDS:
N/A
In response to a question, Gas Operations Manager Brian Langille said the
Request for Bids was released today. The contract will be for 2.5 years and
encompasses the completion of remaining main replacements.
3. Finance
3.1 Declare list of vehicles and equipment surplus to the needs of the City; authorize
disposal through sale to the highest bidder at the Tampa Machinery Auction, Tampa,
Florida; and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
All surplus vehicles and equipment have been replaced as necessary, or are
no longer required.
Tampa Machinery Auction is the Tampa Bay Purchasing Cooperative
Auctioneer of Record; contract period through April 2015 (the Cooperative is
currently working on a contract extension). Tampa Machinery Auction holds a
live auction monthly and accepts internet bids at the time of the live auction.
APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT:
0566-00000-364413-000-0000 Amount - Sales Proceeds TBD
4. Parks and Recreation
4.1 Approve annual blanket purchase order (BPO) to Mid-Pinellas Umpire Assoc. and two
one-year renewal terms at the City's option, per Invitation to Bid Number 21-15, in the
total annual amount of$200,000 for umpiring scheduling services, as required by the
Parks and Recreation Department and authorize the appropriate officials to execute
same. (consent)
The City solicited responses (Request for Proposal 21-15) for the umpiring
scheduling services and received one qualified bid from Mid-Pinellas Umpire
Assoc.
Mid-Pinellas Umpire Assoc. has worked with the City in the past and provided
similar services to our satisfaction.
This contract includes the scheduling and payment of umpires for city leagues
and tournaments at a rate of:
• Slow Pitch City Program - $17 each per game for two person umpire
crew; $22 per game for one person umpire crew
Page 3
City of Clearwater
Council Work Session Meeting Minutes March 30, 2015
• Division I Tournaments only (USF) - $75 each per game for three
person umpire crew
Last year Mid-Pinellas provided umpires and officials for over 3,500 games
including the USF Series of tournaments.
The costs for these services are paid for by user fees that are charged to the
teams. Revenues therefore offset the costs associated with this BPO.
4.2 Approve co-sponsorship and waiver of requested City fees and service charges for
Fiscal Year 2015/16 special events including five annual city events; and sixteen city
co-sponsored events; at an estimated General Fund cost of$481,920 ($99,300 cash
contributions and $382,620 in-kind contributions) and Enterprise Fund cost and fee
waiver of$93,870 for the purposes of Fiscal Year 2015/16 departmental budget
submittals. (consent)
According to City Council Policy, Item M, Special Event Fees, there shall be an
annual review of city sponsored/co-sponsored events during the budget
process. An agenda item approving co-sponsorship and level of support for
these events will be brought before the City Council at the beginning of the
budget process each fiscal year.
In the event additional money is requested beyond what is included in the
approved budget, City Council approval will be needed.
Staff has provided a chart detailing the recommended level of cash and in-kind
contributions to be included in the various departmental budgets for Fiscal
Year (FY) 2015/16 for city sponsored and co-sponsored special events. The
chart also includes a list of 31 additional special events requiring some type of
in-kind support from the Parks and Recreation Special Events Division during
FY 2015/16.
It should be noted that this represents a total bottom line increase of$95,860
compared to FY 2014/15. Increases are due primarily to two additional
co-sponsored events and one one-time cash request:
• Blast Friday -While this event has been going on for some time this is the
first time staff has requested that it be considered as a cosponsored event.
The additional cost of$10,510 is for in-kind services to provide for Traffic
control during Blast Friday events, which has been budgeted in previous years
• Festival of Trees - This event also has been going on for some time and
this is the first time being requested for consideration as a cosponsored event.
The additional cost of$3,500 is for Parks and Recreation in-kind services due
to support needed by the ARC Foundation, which has been reimbursed by the
ARC in previous years
• Jazz Holiday - One-time cash request of$75,000 to expand the
entertainment for Jazz Holiday to celebrate the City Centennial

APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT:
Various Department General Fund Costs - $481,920 ($99,300 cash and
$382,620 in-kind)
Various Department Enterprise Fund Cost and Fee Waiver - $93,870
In response to a question, Parks and Recreation Director Kevin Dunbar
said direct cost is defined as the cost the City would incur for the extra
staff needed to support the event. There is more than $3,500 worth of
direct cost that is not charged because it is done on traditional staff time.
5. Engineering
5.1 Approve the amended and restated Interlocal Agreement between the City of
Clearwater and the Tampa Bay Estuary Program (TBEP) and authorize the
appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
Since 1998, the City has had both a Policy and Management Member on the
Tampa Bay Estuary Program Board. The City is one of the original thirteen
Local Governments or Agencies that make up this Board. This is the first
amendment to the 1998 Interlocal Agreement, which updates the agreement at
a minimum to include admission of new members, and a schedule for
increases to annual dues.
In response to questions Environmental Manager Ed Chesney said
the City receives $162 dollars for every dollar contributed. Clearwater
contributes $13,979 annually to the program. The City uses the
resources from the program for water quality and TMDLs initiatives
and consultant network support that the City could not hire. Mr.
Chesney said the City's Coopers Point Restoration Project is being
considered by the Board for grant funding. The City has budgeted the match
funds for the project . The dues will increase $1,300 a year
and will be paid for through the stormwater utilities fund.
5.2 Approve two quitclaim deeds to the Florida Department of Transportation and
authorize the appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
In 1983, the City acquired two easements for right-of-way purposes at the
intersection of Court Street and Missouri Avenue. The easements are located
on the northeast and southeast corners of the intersection and contain
approximately 30 and 10 square feet respectively. This intersection falls under
the jurisdiction of the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). FDOT is
planning a resurfacing project for State Road 60 which includes installing new
mast arms at this intersection. FDOT owns the property rights necessary to
manage the intersection for right-of-way purposes so the easements are no
Page 5
City of Clearwater
Council Work Session Meeting Minutes March 30, 2015
longer needed by the City. The quitclaim deeds will transfer the City's interest
in the property to FDOT.
6. Public Utilities
6.1 Approve a contract with Water Specialists Technologies LLC, of Sanford, FL in the
amount of$184,200.00 (BPO) for the purchase of copper precipitant TR-50 for a
one-year period, May 1, 2015 through April 30, 2016, and authorize the appropriate
officials to execute same. (consent)
The City of Clearwater owns and operates three Water Reclamation Facilities
(WRF) and must comply with regulatory requirements as set forth in the
operating permits issued through the Florida Department of Environmental
Protection (FDEP). TR-50 is a copper precipitant that is used to maintain
permit compliance for copper removal limitations in effluent discharged into
receiving surface waters. The FDEP permitted effluent limit is 3.7 parts per
billion.
This is a proprietary, sole source product. It was selected for use in 2006 after
an extensive engineering study was undertaken to select the product best
capable of allowing the City's facilities to meet FDEP permit requirements,
while not causing any toxicity, creating any chemical interaction side-effects,
and being the most cost-effective.
Water Specialists Technologies (WST) is the sole source and manufacturer of
TR-50. They hold patent number 4,943,377 for Thio-Red, a method for
removing dissolved heavy metals from waste oils, industrial wastewaters, or
any polar solvent. Thio-Red is the primary ingredient in TR-50, and Water
Specialists Technologies is the sole manufacturer of this product. WST does
not currently have any other TR-50 distributors within the state of Florida.
WST has held Clearwater's discounted price for this chemistry at or below their
distributors' pricing for many years. The sole source letter also reflects our
arrangement for the return of used totes, an offer that is not extended to any of
their other customers.
This product has met all expectations and has performed very well. It has not
exhibited any toxicity and has not created any chemical interaction related
ill-effects. The plants have met the FDEP/USEPA copper limitation ever since
the chemical began being used.
APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT:
Sufficient budget is available in the Water and Sewer Utility Fund operating
cost center 0421-01351-551000-535-000-0000, Wastewater Environmental
Technologies Operations, to fund $77,001.64 of the current year cost of this
contract increase and is planned in the budget request to be brought forward
for Fiscal Year 15/16 in the amount of$107,198.36.
6.2 Amend the City of Clearwater Code of Ordinances, Sections 32.211, 32.213, 32.215,
Page 6
City of Clearwater
Council Work Session Meeting Minutes March 30, 2015
32.218, 32.219 and 32.224 to provide updates, general housekeeping and minor
renumbering, and pass Ordinance 8704-15 on first reading.
The intent of this ordinance amendment is to enhance the Industrial
Pretreatment Program's ability to protect public health, and improve water
reclamation facility resource recovery. The changes will facilitate the following:
1) implementation and maintenance of an efficient and effective fat, oil and
grease (FOG) receiving/disposal site to increase methane production, generate
electrical power, and use the generated power to offset demand; 2) to further
refine what are acceptable types of septic tank waste and hauled wastewater,
to protect the water reclamation facility and process from types of septic tank
waste and wastewater that are inconsistent with the employed treatment
process; and 3) housekeeping changes.
To address the first program enhancement cited by change of the ordinance,
staff offers the following. The cogeneration unit was originally built and tested
unsuccessfully. After a complete assessment, some reengineering of the
receiving station was implemented. One area not addressed during
reengineering was the fact that vendors may drop off inferior FOG loads and
possible mixture of septic as well. To optimize the feed process, the Public
Utilities Department requires clean FOG loads on a consistent basis. To
ensure treatment capabilities are not undermined, vendors must meet city
requirements. The Department is aiming for a priority vendor by negotiating the
disposal rates to make it attractive enough for a selected vendor to use a
dedicated truck for FOG loads. This vendor will employ compatible software for
compliance, tracking and invoicing. Without proper FOG disposal and
subsequent feed system, there is not sufficient biological matter to effectively
operate the digester and produce the amount of methane that allows the
efficient operation of the cogeneration equipment. If sufficient methane cannot
be produced to power the cogeneration unit, the Department would not
produce power to offset demand, and the ratepayers will pay more for the
water reclamation facility to operate.
This amendment shall change Sec. 32.224(2)(d) and (e) Wastewater treatment
rates allowing the Public Utilities Director the authority to negotiate and enter
into agreements deemed in the best interest of the City, specifically for the
purpose of securing with vendor(s) a consistent and reliable source of FOG, to
be accepted at the recently constructed FOG receiving station. This FOG shall
be used as feed stock for the anaerobic digester, to increase methane
production, to be used as fuel at the cogeneration facility that will be used to
power treatment equipment and decrease the energy demand at the Northeast
Water Reclamation Facility.
Also, the ordinance will provide for a change to Sec. 32.211(4), the definition of
Septic tank waste, by removing "chemical toilets" from the definition, and in
Sec. 32.213(4)(a) hauled wastewater: by removing "chemical toilets" from the
listed types of accepted hauled wastewater. These changes will assist in
maintaining consistency with the designed treatment capability of the Water
Reclamation Facilities.

Additionally, housekeeping clarifications, renumbering and typographical
corrections have been incorporated within this ordinance. These are:
• 32.211(1)(b) remove [...{optional}]
• 32.215(1)(a) remove duplicate language reference 32.215(b)(5)
• Clarify meaning by the incorporation of language into 32.215(7) by
moving from 32.215(8)
• 32.218 renumber subsections (1), (2), (3)
• 32.219 renumber subsections (1) - (8)
• 32.219 (2) new numbering, correct error to CBOD
In response to questions, Wastewater Environmental Tech. Manager Dave
Porter said staff contacted two FOG haulers, one was not interested. Staff
tracks haulers licensed by Pinellas County. Public Utilities Director Tracy
Mercer said the City does not accept chemical toilets (i.e., port-o-potty). Mr.
Porter said Pinellas County has a facility that handles chemical toilets, as they
require special processes.

10. City Manager Verbal Reports

City of Clearwater
Council Work Session Meeting Minutes March 30, 2015
The City Manager said staff has received a request from the NAACP to
change the name of N. Greenwood Recreation and Aquatic Center to the Dr.
Martin Luther Ling, Jr. Recreation and Aquatic Center. City ordinance requires
that the request come before the Council and determine if there is a desire for
the request to be directed to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board. The
Board conducts a public hearing and provides Council with a
recommendation. The last time the NAACP raised the request, a community
group was organizing to reopen the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Neighborhood
Family Center(MLK). It was suggested to the NAACP that the request would
be problematic while efforts to reopen the Center were underway. The MLK
center has since reopened.
Discussion ensued with concerns expressed regarding having more than one
facility named after Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. It was also stated that city
resolution states that facilities honoring an individual should occur on rare
occasions and the individual should have given lengthy service to the
Clearwater community and be of local importance, rather than state or national
prominence.
There was no staff direction given.
11. City Attorney Verbal Reports — None.
12. Council Discussion Item — None.
13. New Business (items not on the agenda may be brought up asking they be
scheduled for subsequent meetings or work sessions in accordance with Rule 1,
Paragraph 2). — None.
