As the new General Manager of the Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach Resort & Spa this was the first Uncorked event that I personally attended and wasn't sure what to expect. What an excellent event to bring new visitors to Clearwater Beach! Thanks to Uncorked the Hyatt was sold out weeks in advance of the event. The event brought 281 room nights exclusively through Uncorked guests and our restaurant and bars were packed the entire weekend increasing F &B sales substantially. The residual business is also a great bonus as your sponsors have booked sales meetings with us after they've had the opportunity to stay on our property. Our friends at Pier House 60 were also filled with guests of Uncorked, and I understand that Shephards sold out of rooms in their Uncorked room block. Your attendees did not want the Uncorked party on Clearwater Beach to end. I hope that all of the Clearwater Beach hotels choose to participate as hotel partners in future years because events like this are not only great for marketing Clearwater Beach but they elevate hotel bookings and bring tourism to the beach. Our team at the Hyatt Regency Clearwater Beach looks forward to partnership with Clearwater Beach Uncorked for years to come!

City Manager Reports 10.1 Approve two quitclaim deeds to the Florida Department of Transportation, authorize the appropriate officials to execute same and adopt Resolution 15-09. 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 longer needed by the City. The quitclaim deeds will transfer the City’s interest in the property to FDOT. Councilmember Hamilton moved to approve two quitclaim deeds to the Florida Department of Transportation and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same.

" — Anthony Robbins We need your help to pass the 12 word law now! Thank YOU... L William Wilberforce - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia HE STOPPED "PHYSICAL SLAVERY" IN 1833 WITH A 9 WORD LAW SLAVERY IN THE BRITISH EMPIRE IS HERE BY ILLEGAL" WE CAN STOP "ECONOMIC SLAVERY" IN 2015 WITH A 12 WORD LAW ILLEGAL TO IMPORT GOODS FROM 132 NATIONS NOT REQUIRING Si DOLLAR HOUR MINIMUM WAGE." William Wilberforce (24 August 1759 — 29 July 1833) was an English politician, philanthropist, theologiant'1 and a leader of the movement to abolish the slave trade. A native of Kingston upon Hull, Yorkshire, he began his political career in 1780, eventually becoming the independent Member of Parliament for Yorkshire (1784 - 1812). In 1785, he underwent a conversion experience and became an evangelical Christian, which resulted in major changes to his lifestyle and a lifelong concern for reform. In 1787, he came into contact with Thomas Clarkson and a group of anti - slave -trade activists, including Granville Sharp, Hannah More and Charles Middleton. They persuaded Wilberforce to take on the cause of abolition, and he soon became one of the leading English abolitionists. He headed the parliamentary campaign against the British slave trade for twenty -six years until the passage of the Slave Trade Act of 1807. Twenty years later, Wilberforce supported the campaign for the complete abolition of slavery, and continued his involvement after 1826, when he resigned from Parliament because of his failing health. That campaign led to the Slavery Abolition Act 1833, which abolished slavery in most of the British Empire; Wilberforce died just three days after hearing that the passage of the Act through Parliament was assured. He was buried in Westminster Abbey, close to his friend William Pitt. UNFORTUNATELY IT TOOK A CIVIL WAR TO END "PHYSICAL SLAVERY" IN USA IN 1861. WE CAN EITHER PASS THE 12 WORD LAW TO STOP POVERTY PEACEFULLY OR WE CAN CONTINUE TO CAUSE AND SUPPORT "ECONOMIC SLAVERY" OF 3.6 BILLION PEOPLE BY NOT PAYING THEM A LIVING WAGE. A WORLD WIDE MINIMUM WAGE OF $1 DOLLAR PER HOUR WILL STOP POVERTY PEACEFULLY AND END MOST WARS! WE TRULY HAVE A CHOICE AND IT IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE. IT IS `BASIC RESPECT" FOR ALL PEOPLE WORLD WIDE. Abraham Lincoln stated "If Slavery is not wrong, nothing is!" 3.6 Billion People are now living in "Economic Slavery" and only the 12 word law will break the "race to bottom" of lower wages and safety regulations in these 132 nations. JESUS 2'''D COMANDMENT: AS I HAVE LOVED YOU, SO YOU MUST LOVE ONE ANOTHER It took 30 years for William Wilberforce to get his 9 word law passed Hopefully with help of the internet and Facebook it will only take 3 years to get this 12 word law passed with your help.

HONORABLE MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBERS, CITY STAFF, CITIZENS THE HANDOUTS CONTAIN A LOT MORE INFORMATION AND A WEB PAGE CALLED woridpovertyupordown.org I HOPE YOU WILL CHECK IT OUT 2600 hits from 68 countries 4. I AM HERE TODAY TO ASK YOU TO USE YOUR INFLUENCE, CONCERN FOR HUMAN BEINGS AND POLITICAL CONNECTIONS, TO ATTEND A MEETING WITH REPRESENTATIVE DAVID JOLLY AND SENATOR BILL NELSON TO DISCUSS A 12 WORD LAW THAT CAN STOP BOTH WORLD POVERTY AND WORLD DEFLATION. THE 12 WORD LAW SIMPLY STATES IT IS "ILLEGAL TO IMPORT GOODS FROM 132 NATION NOT REQUIRING $1 DOLLAR HOUR MINIMUM WAGE." 6. AS THE WORLDS LARGEST IMPORTING NATION ONLY THE USA CAN ESTABLISH THIS LAW ON THESE 132 NATIONS THAT DO NOT HAVE THE POWER TO RAISE THEIR MINIMUM WAGES OR SAFETY REGULATION ON THEIR OWN. 7. THE REASON THEY CAN NOT DO THIS UNILATERALLY IS BASED ON A "ECONOMIC FACT OF LIFE" WHICH STATES MULTI - NATIONAL CORPORATIONS MUST PRODUCE THEIR GOODS AT LOWEST POSIBLE PRICE OR THEY WILL BE FORCED OUT OF BUSINESS. 8. IF ONE NATION DARES TO RAISE THEIR MINIMUM WAGES THE MNC WILL SIMPLY MOVE THEIR FACTORIES TO THE NEXT NATION WITH LOWER WAGES AND REGULATIONS. THIS IS CALLED THE RACE TO THE BOTTOM" AND IS CAUSING POVERTY AND DEFLATION WORLD WIDE. 9. THIS RACE TO THE BOTTOM IS CAUSES MANY TERRIBLE SITUATIONS LIKE IN BANGLEDESH IN 2013 WHEN A SWEATSHOP FACTORY COLLAPED AND KILLED 1200 WOMEN AND CHILDREN WHO WERE WORKING FOR JUST 11 CENTS PER HOUR. 10. YES, THIS LAW WILL COST US 25 CENTS MORE FOR A BANGLEDESH SHIRT BUT NOW THERE WILL BE 3.6 BILLION MORE PEOPLE BUYING OUR GOODS AS THEY ARE MAKING A LIVING WAGE FOR FIRST TIME & EONOMIC SLAVERY WILL FINALLY WILL BE STOPPED. IT IS THE MORAL AND RIGHT THING TO DO TO HELP OUR POVERTY NEIGHBORS FROM AROUND THE WORLD. 11. EITHER WE PASS THIS LAW AND SUPPORT THESE NATIONS TO INCREASE THEIR WAGES ALL AT THE SAME TIME OR THE OTHER HALF OF WORLD'S POPULATION WILL BE PULLED DOWN TO THEIR POVERTY LEVELS. THIS IS CALLED DEFLATION AND IT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW BIG TIME IN USA AND EUROPE 12. IT IS ALSO DEFFINATELY IN OUR OWN BEST FINANCIAL INTEREST TO PASS THE LAW AS IT WILL GIVE THE WORLD'S ECONOMY A $7 TRILLION DOLLAR SHOT IN THE ARM. THIS WILL CAUSE WAGES TO INCREASE WORLD WIDE AND IMMEDIATELY STOP DEFLATION. BETTER YET, NO NEW TAXES, BIG GOVERNMENT AGENCY OR WELFARE SYSTEM IS REQUIRED. 13. I WILL E -MAIL YOU MORE INFORMATION ON WHEN THE MEETING IS SET UP AFTER ATTENDING OTHER CITY /COUNTY COUNCIL MEETINGS AND INVITE SEVERAL CLERGY LEADERS TO ALSO ATTEND. THE PLAN IS TO HAVE THIS MEETING HELD ASAP AT ALDERSGATE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH ON STARKEY ROAD IN SEMINOLE. 14.THIS IS TRULY A NON - PARTISAN AND NON - DENOMINATION WORLD WIDE ISSUE. 15. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND I HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL VERY SOON. Cover Memo City of Clearwater City Hall 112 S.

The appraised value of $270,000 is equal to the purchase price requested by the owner and supported by staff. Total expenditures not to exceed $287,000 include the purchase price along with typical closing costs, and demolition of the existing structure.

If Buyer terminates this contract, and this transaction does not close, Buyer agrees, at Buyer expense, to repair all damages to the Property resulting from the inspections and investigations and return the Property to its present condition. 16. WALK-THROUGH INSPECTION At a time mutually agreeable between the parties, but not later than the day prior to closing, Buyer may conduct a final "walk-through" inspection of the Property to determine compliance with any Seller obligations and to insure that all Property is in and on the premises. No new issues may be raised as a result of the walk-through. 17. RISK OF LOSS If the Property is damaged by fire or other casualty before closing and cost of restoration does not exceed 3% of the assessed valuation of the Property so damaged, cost of restoration shall be an obligation of the Seller and closing shall proceed pursuant to the terms of this contract.

PROCEEDS OF SALE; CLOSING PROCEDURE The deed shall be recorded upon clearance of funds. Proceeds of sale shall be held in escrow by Seller's attorney or by such other mutually acceptable escrow agent for a period of not longer than 5 days from and after closing, during which time evidence of title shall be continued at Buyer's expense to show title in Buyer, without any encumbrances or change which would render Seller's title unmarketable from the date of the last title evidence. If Seller's title is rendered unmarketable through no fault of the Buyer, Buyer shall, within the 5 day period, notify the Seller in writing of the defect and Seller shall have 30 days from the date of receipt of such notification to cure the defect. If Seller fails to timely cure the defect, all funds paid by or on behalf of the Buyer shall, upon written demand made by Buyer and within 5 days after demand, be returned to Buyer and simultaneously with such repayment, Buyer shall vacate the Property and reconvey it to Seller by special warranty deed. If Buyer fails to make timely demand for refund, Buyer shall take title "as is", waiving all rights against Seller as to any intervening defect except as may be available to Buyer by virtue of warranties contained in the deed. The escrow and closing procedure required by this provision may be waived if title agent insures adverse matters pursuant to Section 627.7841, F.S. (2014), as amended.

(consent) SUMMARY: Staff is requesting that a blanket purchase order be awarded to ASP of Tampa, FL for Special Event Services, to construct staging for all of the various events and concerts held in Clearwater, especially those held at Coachman Park. Of the three contractors that submitted bids ASP was the lowest and most responsive to the bid specifications. The City has past experience with this vendor and they have performed very well and met all of staff expectations. In addition they have met all of the safety engineering requirements for temporary staging which is inspected at every event by a City Engineer of Record. Also, McCarthy and Associates Engineering has reviewed this contract and confirms that all of the equipment and staging to be used in this bid meets or exceeds all State safety standards. The City is not obligated to use any or the entire amount being requested however, in Fiscal Year 2013/14 approximately $80,000 was used for various events. This amount is being increased to $125,000 due to additional Centennial events this year as well as the potential for additional events in the future. Annual renewals will not exceed $125,000 without appropriate authorization/approval, as required. APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT: Funding for this BPO will come from a variety of operating and capital improvement codes in the Parks and Recreation Department but primarily the Special Events Code 181-99865.

(consent) SUMMARY: The City has a history of partnering with local radio stations to bring concerts and special events to Clearwater, most notably at Coachman Park. In the past, when an agreement is needed between the City and the partner it is negotiated and brought forward as a separate item to the Council. Each individual agreement is time consuming to negotiate. Staff is requesting that a standard Special Event Agreement template be approved by the Council that has been thoroughly vetted by all City departments including Risk Management, Finance and Legal. This template will allow the special events staff to quickly negotiate agreements with our partners and they will know exactly what the City will or won’t do in terms of the event. This will save staff time and make things run more efficiently as we attempt to bring quality concerts and special events to Clearwater. Staff is also requesting that the City Manager or his designee have the authority to enter into these agreements in the future. The most recent example of a separate agreement that was approved by Council was the agreement between Beasley (formerly CBS Radio) and the City for the Wild Splash Concert.

(consent) SUMMARY: Pinellas County Health Department (PCDOH) applied for and received a three-year grant from the Centers for Disease and Control (CDC) for the Partnerships to Improve Community Health (PICH) program. Additional agreements will be forthcoming from PCDOH for the remaining two years of the grant upon their receipt of funding from the CDC. Staff is requesting that the City Manager or his designee approve the future grant agreements. Since the City of Clearwater is the second largest city in Pinellas and a strong partner with the PCDOH, Clearwater was selected to be a grant recipient. The first period of the grant is from May 1, 2015 to September 30, 2015, in the amount of $37,500. The overall goal of this program is to improve the health of our residents through better access to physical activity and healthy foods and beverages. Clearwater’s plan will first be to focus on determining the wellness needs in Clearwater by conducting a Needs Assessment and Asset Mapping. Once that is created the remaining two years of the grant will be focused on the implementation of the plan. Staff is recommending that the majority of the grant be used to hire either an intern or consultant to conduct the Needs Assessment and Asset Mapping and promote the implementation of the plan. If Council decides not to approve the grant application Pinellas County will choose another city to receive the grant funding. This grant was brought forward and approved by the Resource Management Committee at their March 4, 2015 meeting. The City's Wellness Specialist will oversee the grant and implementation of this program. No additional operating costs will be incurred by the City due to this grant. APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT: A mid-year budget amendment will increase program 181-99869, Health Prevention Program by $37,500 to account for this grant funding.

(consent) SUMMARY: The Bayoxide E33 media is primarily used as an absorption system to selectively remove arsenic while filtering fresh groundwater at Reverse Osmosis Water Treatment Plant 1 (RO1). The system was placed into service in November 2013 and was specified by the design engineer, CDM Smith, as a part of the expansion of RO1. The system consists of 2 pressurized filter vessels that contain a specialized iron-based media that captures the arsenic and retains it on the surface of the media. The installed media has a rated life that is based upon flow and arsenic levels. One of the vessels has reached and exceeded the life expectancy, and is showing signs of performance loss. A preemptive media change-out is recommended before it reaches the point where treatment failure occurs. This is a proprietary, sole source product. The service includes all labor and equipment necessary to removal and disposal of spent media from the pressure vessel and the installation of 520 cu. Ft. of virgin Bayoxide E33 media.

(consent) SUMMARY: Currently the City of Clearwater is in the process of upgrading its city wide communications system to a national P25 standard. This upgrade is laid out in 3 phases, with a multi-year implementation schedule. The initial phase is comprised of upgrades required by the Clearwater Police Department. The second phase is to upgrade the remaining city user equipment. The third phase will complete the migration with the final build-out of the City’s system infrastructure. The first part of Phase I, which was the initial Project 25 upgrade of the city-wide two-way radio EDACS communication system Infrastructure, was approved by Council on December 18, 2014. This portion is part 2 of Phase I, which is in the approved six-year Capital Improvement Program. The equipment purchase was estimated at $1,000,000 and was scheduled to be funded with Garage Fund lease purchase revenue in fiscal year 2015/16. This request is to pull forward that future year funding into the current budget year to complete the final portion of the Police P25 migration.

(consent) SUMMARY: City Council approved the Construction Manager at Risk contract to Ajax Building to construct the Countryside Branch Library, chilled water yard and exterior piping in August 2014. Administrative Change Orders 1 through 4 deducted a total of $1,147,956.86 for owner direct purchase for the new library, for a new contract total of $4,314,711.14. Change Order 5 adds $648,918 for a new total of $4,963,629.14. The original estimate was based on a preliminary design narrative.

The Parks and Recreation Department will be responsible for the day-to-day operations, and the Building and Maintenance Department will be responsible for maintenance of the facility.

FEDERAL ISSUE: National Flood Insurance Program BACKGROUND; HOW IT MAY AFFECT THE CITY OF CLEARWATER: In 1968, Congress established the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) to address the nation’s flood exposure and challenges inherent in financing and managing flood risks in the private sector. Private insurance companies at the time claimed that the flood peril was uninsurable and, therefore, could not be underwritten in the private insurance market. A three-prong floodplain management and insurance program was created to (1) identify areas across the nation most at risk of flooding; (2) minimize the economic impact of flooding events through floodplain management ordinances; and (3) provide flood insurance to individuals and businesses. Until 2005, the NFIP was self-supporting as policy premiums and fees covered expenses and claim payments. Today, the program is in roughly $25 billion in debt due to a number of large storms, the most recent being Hurricane Sandy. In mid-2012, Congress passed, and the President signed, a 5-year reauthorization of the NFIP that attempted to restore the program to firmer financial footing by making a number of changes to the program that impacted the City’s residents. This is known as Biggert-Waters (BW12). Then, in early 2014, the Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act (HFIAA), was enacted in an attempt to address some of the so-called unintended consequences of BW12. HFIAA Implementation While it is unclear if Congress will address flood insurance reform in the 114th Congress, FEMA will continue to spend significant time implementing HFIAA over the next year or more. This includes creating a Flood Insurance Advocate, allowing for option high-deductible policies for residential properties, communicating full flood risk determinations to property owners regardless of whether their premiums reflect such risk, implementing changes to how FEMA handles map revisions, complete a study of community-based flood insurance options, attempt to secure reinsurance of coverage provided by the NFIP from private markets, provide refunds to pre-FIRM primary homeowners who overpaid due to BW12, provide guidelines for property owners describing alternative means of flood mitigation, other than elevation, that can reduce flood risk and inform property owners about how mitigation can lower premiums, complete an Affordability Study and a “Draft Affordability Framework,” allow for the monthly payment of flood insurance premiums, and report to Congress on the number of annual policy premiums that exceed one percent of the total coverage provided by the policy. In late 2014, FEMA announced the opening of the Interim Office of the Flood Insurance Advocate and the appointment of an Interim Flood Insurance Advocate. The Acting Advocate and staff will focus on assisting the public as they navigate through these new NFIP processes by leveraging FEMA resources to address specific public inquiries or concerns. They will also develop a long-term regional mapping outreach and education strategy. FEMA noted that additional funding would be needed in order to fully install the permanent Office of the Flood Insurance Advocate and expand its role, but until then it would operate the office with existing resources. Meanwhile, effective April 1, 2015, the first wave of NFIP rate increases resulting from HFIAA will be instituted. As noted above, HFIAA called for the NFIP to limit rate increases to no more than 18 percent for any one policy with exceptions. However, FEMA has interpreted HFIAA to allow for the total amount charged to the policyholder to increase an average of 19.8 percent for all 5.5 million FEMA policies and an increase of 37 percent for certain policies. The most notable exception is that older non-primary residences and older business properties will continue to see annual increases of up to 25 percent. However, because of a new mandatory $250 surcharge on certain properties, some may see a premium increase of 37 percent as of April 1, 2015. This new mandatory surcharge and the Federal Policy fee found on every FEMA flood insurance policy are not considered premiums by FEMA, and thus are not subject to the limitations described in the HFIAA. FEMA has admitted that as a result, the increase in the total amount charged to a policy may exceed 18 percent. Other Flood Insurance Legislation Several pieces of legislation were introduced in the 113th Congress to address some of the shortcomings of HFIAA. For example, Rep. David Jolly (R-FL) introduced legislation in March 2014 that would further amend BW12 by extending the rate relief provided in H.R. 3370 to businesses and “owner- occupied” second homes. Specifically, H.R. 4313, the Flood Insurance Premium Parity Act of 2014 would: 1) Repeal the requirement that owner-occupied second homes and businesses be automatically charged actuarially sound rates; 2) Restore the grandfathered rates for these properties; and 3) Apply to these properties the 18 percent cap on yearly rate increases provided for selected primary homes in H.R. 3370. H.R. 4313 is cosponsored by Florida Reps. Gus Bilirakis (R), Kathy Castor (D), Patrick Murphy (D), and Lois Frankel (D). Rep. Jolly has reintroduced his bill in the 114th Congress as H.R. 141 with six Florida members of Congress as original cosponsors. Meanwhile, Reps. Dennis Ross (R-FL) and Patrick Murphy (D-FL) introduced H.R. 4558, the Flood Insurance Market Parity and Modernization Act, in May 2014. This bill would clarify that private flood insurance products would be regulated by individual states instead of the Federal government, which is perceived to be better for insurers and is expected to create more opportunity for private insurance to proliferate. The House Financial Services Committee held a hearing on November 19, 2014 to discuss H.R. 4558, which had five additional cosponsors in the 113th Congress, including Florida Reps. Jolly and Gus Bilirakis (R). It is likely that this legislation will be reintroduced in the 114th Congress. RECOMMENDED POSITION: Support efforts to improve the National Flood Insurance Program for the benefit of all participants, including H.R. 141 and other positive legislative efforts. Monitor FEMA’s implementation of the Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act. FEDERAL ISSUE: Waters of the United States BACKGROUND; HOW IT MAY AFFECT THE CITY OF CLEARWATER: A series of decisions by the U.S. Supreme Court over the past decade imposed restrictions on the scope of wetland regulation governed by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) that regulate “dredge and fill” activities in navigable waters and their adjacent wetlands. Opponents of these restrictions have urged Congress to redefine waters of the U.S., and apply that definition to all aspects of the CWA. As legislation along those lines failed to pass previous Congresses, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) over the past several years developed guidance first, and now a proposed rule, to redefine waters of the U.S. There is concern that this effort may significantly expand the definition of WOTUS to include tributaries, ditches, canals, and other water bodies that can potentially drain into navigable waters, interstate waters, or the territorial seas. The EPA claims that the proposed rule “does not protect any new types of waters that have not historically been covered under the Clean Water Act.” However, they also say that “60 percent of stream miles in the U.S. only flow seasonally or after rain” but that they deserve protection under the CWA and that “other types of waters” will have “protection… evaluated through a case specific analysis of whether the connection is or is not significant.” In 2014, the EPA and ACOE released the proposed rule to define waters of the U.S. subject to Clean Water Act jurisdiction. Many have concerns that the proposed rule is more than a recitation of water features subject to regulation under the Clean Water Act. Rather, the rule has been perceived to redefine WOTUS in new categories of water bodies that are already regulated under the Act as a point source, but not as a WOTUS. Such definition could trigger added regulation that could increase the cost and regulatory burden for all levels of government and permitted activities. The public comment period for the rule closed in late 2014. The EPA received more than 875,000 comments on the proposed rule. In comments submitted jointly by the National Association of Counties, National League of Cities, U.S. Conference of Mayors, National Association of Regional Councils, American Public Works Association, National Association of County Engineers, and the National Association of Flood & Stormwater Management Agencies, these organizations expressed that the rule must include the following provisions that are priority concerns for local governments: • Separate municipal storm sewers will continue to be regulated and permitted under Section 402 of the Clean Water Act, and shall not be considered, either in their entirely or any individual feature thereof, waters of the U.S.; • Green infrastructure developed to improve water quality or achieve multiple public benefits shall be encouraged and given priority consideration that does not impose additional financial and regulatory burdens of permittees and shall not be considered waters of the U.S.; • Water delivery, reuse, and reclamation systems and facilities shall not be considered waters of the U.S.; • Ditches and other drainage features that protect and ensure the operation of public infrastructure shall not be considered waters of the U.S.; • Wastewater treatment systems and all associated infrastructure shall not be considered waters of the U.S.; • Any proposal to regulate waters within a floodplain, riparian, or any other general area must include a specific definition, including the specific boundaries, of the floodplain, riparian, or other area subject to the rule; and • The rule must include sufficient clarity and specificity to better inform regulators and permittees and to minimize the potential for litigation. Meanwhile, the EPA’s own Local Government Advisory Committee submitted 105 pages of comments, saying “there is no doubt that the proposed rule…should be modified” and that the EPA should “engage state, local, and tribal agencies in the rule development process.” Congress has paid increasing attention to this issue over the past year. In the fall of 2014, the House passed legislation through a bipartisan vote that would prevent the EPA from implementing the proposed rule. The White House issued a veto threat in response, saying the legislation “would derail current efforts to clarify the scope of the CWA, hamstring future regulatory efforts, and create significant ambiguity regarding existing regulations and guidance.” Ultimately, there was no provision included in the FY 2015 omnibus that would prevent the EPA from implementing the proposed WOTUS rule if it is finalized in 2015. However, congressional leadership has already signaled a desire to work during the 114th Congress to limit the EPA’s authority related to WOTUS, which will continue to be a point of contention between Congress and the Administration for the foreseeable future. POSITION: Monitor activity related to the EPA’s proposed rule on waters of the U.S. Oppose any aspects of the proposed rule that could lead to unrealistic and over-burdensome regulations that would negatively affect local governments. FEDERAL ISSUE: Federal Flood Risk Management Standard BACKGROUND; HOW IT MAY AFFECT THE CITY OF CLEARWATER: In late January 2015, the Administration issued Executive Order (EO) 13690 to update the Federal Flood Risk Management Standard (FFRMS) that helps define rules and regulations for Federal activities in a floodplain. This new FFRMS will require Federal agencies to update their flood-risk reduction strategies for any action that cannot be avoided in the floodplain. Shortly after issuing the Executive Order (EO) and the new standard, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) issued proposed guidelines for individual Federal agencies to follow when implementing the EO and standard. Public comments on the proposed implementation guidelines are due April 6. Current regulations define the floodplain as the area subject to a one percent or greater chance of flooding in any given year – the 100-year floodplain. FEMA identifies the floodplain on community maps where Federal flood insurance is required and building restrictions are imposed to minimize flood losses. All levels of government rely on the maps to inform decisions about emergency response, land use, and construction in the floodplain. This new EO and the accompanying FFRMS redefine the floodplain and provide new direction for federal agencies to avoid or manage actions in the floodplain. Consistent with the President’s Climate Action Plan, the new EO and FFRMS seek to improve the nation’s preparedness and resilience against flooding. Incorporating the new FFRMS will ensure that agencies expand management from the current base flood level (BFE) to a higher vertical elevation and corresponding horizontal floodplain. The FFRMS also requires review of Federal actions that are outside, but may affect the floodplain. Federal agencies will select one of three options for establishing the flood elevation and hazard area: 1. Utilizing best-available, actionable data and methods that integrate current and future changes in flooding based on science, 2. Two or three feet of elevation, depending on the criticality of the building, above the 100-year, or 1%-annual-chance, flood elevation, or 3. 500-year, or 0.2%-annual-chance, flood elevation. Federal agencies may make exceptions for reasons of national security, emergency response, and when application of the FFRMS would be demonstrably inapplicable for a Federal facility or structure. Otherwise Federal facilities and structures must adhere to the National Flood Insurance Program and the FFRMS. Federal actions must consider alternatives outside the floodplain. When the floodplain cannot be avoided, the EO and the FFRMS requires federal agencies to use natural systems, ecosystem processes, and nature- based approaches when developing alternatives for consideration. All new or rehabilitated construction (50% or more net increase in value of an existing structure) must be elevated to the new standard. Federal agencies may consider cumulative improvements over time when calculating increased value. Potential Concerns with EO 13690 and the FFRMS • The Executive Order and the FFRMS were developed by a Federal agency working group with limited, if any, input for state and local governments or stakeholders who share in flood protection and emergency response. The opportunity for public comment is limited to the implementation guidelines, essentially instructions to Federal agencies, rather than the standard itself. Congress expressed its concern with the standard by prohibiting funding until the Administration solicited and considered input from Governors, mayors, and other stakeholders. Yet the EO and FFRMS are now final. • The scope of the EO and FFRMS is significant and will include every action of the federal government, including grants, loans, loan-guarantees, FHA and VA loans, wastewater permits and infrastructure, transportation projects, utility licenses and infrastructure, etc. • While the NFIP itself might not be affected, its coverage could be extended to new areas not previously required to purchase flood insurance and subject to floodplain building restrictions. Flood insurance is required in special flood hazard areas, which may be expanded as Federal agencies, including FEMA, apply one of the four approaches required in the EO and FFRMS for defining the floodplain. • No economic analysis of the costs and benefits of this EO and FFRMS have been conducted, despite the significant potential impacts of every Federal action being made subject to the FFRMS. • Different Federal agencies can adopt different floodplains and management requirements that apply to a community, creating confusion about the land use and building ordinances that must be adopted to comply with the National Flood Insurance Program. • While providing flexibility to Federal agencies can be beneficial, it can also create lengthy delays and legal challenges about the floodplain approach an agency selects. Existing practice sets a mapping process and flood risk standards that are readily understood by all levels of government and the public. • The EO and FFRMS do not allow for “grandfathering” of existing Federal actions, nor those under development. Questions are being raised about whether constructed projects will have to be modified to comply with the FFRMS, or if studies and designs must be rescoped. • The requirement that Federal actions must first consider natural systems, ecosystem processes, and natural-based approaches can delay or significantly increase the cost of a Federal action for these often land-intensive alternatives. Those applying for Federal permits would be subject to the same requirements. • Federal agencies could be charged with making floodplain-related evaluations for which they have limited expertise, rather than relying on the expertise of the agencies historically charged with flood protection and floodplain management. At least one Senator has already asked the President to grant an extension to the comment period of at least an additional 90 days. Several others have questioned the Administration’s legal standing in updating the FFRMS. Meanwhile, Congress last year attempted to stop the completion of the FFRMS update via the Fiscal Year 2015 omnibus appropriations bill, but that appears to have been ignored by the Federal agencies. RECOMMENDED POSITION: Monitor the implementation of Executive Order 13690 and the Federal Flood Risk Management Standard for potential impacts to the City of Clearwater. Monitor Congressional activity related to the updating of the Federal Flood Risk Management Standard. FEDERAL ISSUE: Stevenson Creek Estuary Restoration Project BACKGROUND; HOW IT MAY AFFECT THE CITY OF CLEARWATER: Congress provides the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers with standing authorization, known as the Continuing Authorities Programs (CAP), to respond to a variety of water resource problems without the need to seek specific congressional authorization or funding for each project. In theory, this decreases the amount of time required to budget, develop, and approve potential projects for construction. The CAP Section 206 program authorizes the Corps of Engineers to engage in aquatic ecosystem restoration and protection projects in partnership with non-Federal government agencies, as long as each projects is economically justified, environmentally sound, and technically feasible. Prior to passage of the Water Resources Reform and Development Act (WRRDA) of 2014, law dictated that the maximum Federal cost for planning, design, and construction of any one project was $5 million. In June 2014, the President signed WRRDA 2014 into law, which included a provision that increased the per project CAP Section 206 limit from $5 million to $10 million. However, the Corps released guidance indicating the authorization increase would only apply to new projects, not those already underway, such as Stevenson Creek. The City and the Corps of Engineers have worked on a Section 206 CAP project, the Stevenson Creek Estuary Restoration, since 1999. This objective of the Stevenson Creek Estuary Project was to dredge and remove polluted material from Stevenson Creek to improve the health of the waterway which feeds into Clearwater Harbor. The project was completed in 2014. The construction phase of the project began in August of 2009, but encountered major delays due to performance issues with the first and second firms selected to dredge the creek and remove polluted material. These issues resulted in the termination of these previously awarded contracts and increased project costs to the point that the Corps’ Federal expenditures reached their authorized $5,000,000 cost limit. The original estimated project cost was $7 million, with the City’s share expected to be $2.45 million, or 35 percent of the total cost. The final project costs are roughly $10.5 million, with the City asked to pay nearly $5.5 million, or about 52 percent of the total cost due to the $5 million cap on Federal expenditures in place for Section 206 projects at the time of the Project Partnership Agreement execution in 2008. The City has worked with Congress and the Corps for the past several months to gain an exception to the WRRDA guidance related to the CAP authorization limit. However, the Corps to date has not provided the City with any relief from the cost overruns. RECOMMENDED POSITION: Support continued Corps participation in the Stevenson Creek Estuary Restoration Project in the City of Clearwater. Support efforts by the City to gain an exception to the CAP 206 authorization limit. FEDERAL ISSUE: Clearwater Pass Maintenance Dredging BACKGROUND; HOW IT MAY AFFECT THE CITY OF CLEARWATER: As a Federal navigation channel, the Army Corps of Engineers is supposed to be 100 percent responsible for the cost of maintenance dredging of Clearwater Pass. The Pass requires maintenance dredging about every 5 years due to shoaling, which cuts off an important navigation channel for local commercial fishermen, charter boats, and other recreational vessels. However, due to budget constraints, this only occurs about every 10 years. Clearwater Pass was last dredged and fully paid for by the Corps in 2001. The Pass was again dredged in 2012, but the City of Clearwater paid the entire $750,000 cost of the project, as it was uncertain when the Corps may have funding available to complete the dredging. Eventually, the Corps did reimburse the City for about a third of the cost of that dredging operation. The dredging project has a double benefit, as the sand that is removed is then used to renourish North Clearwater Beach. To fund dredging projects that are not generally budgeted for by the Administration due to the difficult competition for funds from the Army Corps of Engineers, Congress has adjusted their funding strategy in the age of no-earmarks to add additional funding for what Congress terms “Additional Funding for Ongoing Work.” Among these amounts, Congress in Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 provided $40 million in additional funding to the Corps for “Small, Remote, or Subsistence Navigation” operations and maintenance (O&M) activities. In FY 2015, Congress provided a small increase in funding at $42.5 million. This is the funding from which the Clearwater Pass must compete in the future to maintain the channel. RECOMMENDED POSITION: Support adequate annual funding for the Corps of Engineers Operations & Maintenance account, including additional funding for dredging not identified in the annual Administration budget. Support additional funding specifically provided for “Small, Remote, or Subsistence Navigation” dredging activities. FEDERAL ISSUE: Tax-Exempt Bonds BACKGROUND; HOW IT MAY AFFECT THE CITY OF CLEARWATER: Although municipal bonds have been tax-exempt for almost 100 years, a number of recent Federal proposals target this exemption, often as part of debate related to comprehensive tax reform. With local governments facing severe budget difficulties, any proposal to limit the tax exemption would put more pressure on local finances by reducing demand for tax-exempt bonds and increase borrowing costs for state and local governments, ultimately leading to higher taxes or reduced services. It is estimated that the difference in the rate of earnings the City and other local governments would need to offer prospective buyers of their taxable bonds would depend on the market, but typically would range from 1.5 to 2 percent more for those offerings. On $1 million borrowed, this would likely cost $20,000 more in interest per year. Taking this further, if the City were to amortize a $100 million loan over 30 years at taxable bond rates 2 percent higher than if the bonds were tax-exempt, the additional cost to taxpayers over the 30 years could be roughly $30 million. Should the City make significant investments in future municipal facilities or infrastructure, a change to the tax exemption on municipal bonds could add significant costs over the life of the project. With the onset of the 114th Congress, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) has assumed the chairmanship of the House Ways and Means Committee. During his tenure as the Chairman of the House Budget Committee in prior Congresses, Rep. Ryan proposed budgets that affected the tax exemption status of municipal bonds by either eliminating or limiting the exemption, which would cut the subsidy for municipal bonds. Should the House attempt comprehensive tax reform during the 114th Congress, most believe Rep. Ryan’s proposal would put the tax exemption on municipal bonds at risk. In the Senate, Ron Wyden (D-OR) sponsored legislation with Dan Coats (R-IN) during the 112th Congress that proposed replacing tax-exempt bonds with taxable bonds and a tax credit. Although Senator Wyden did not reintroduce the same legislation during the 113th Congress, he continued to discuss the need for comprehensive tax reform when he became the Chair of the Senate Finance Committee in 2014. Republicans now control the Senate in the 114th Congress, however, which means Senator Wyden has become the Ranking Member and Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT) has assumed the chairmanship. Like Senator Wyden, Senator Hatch has voiced his support for comprehensive tax reform. However, his position on the tax exemption for municipal bonds is unclear. As in previous years, the Administration proposed a 28 percent limit on all itemized deductions for high- income individuals in its Fiscal Year (FY) 2016 budget. If accepted by Congress, this would apply to all new and outstanding municipal bonds. According to a study conducted by the National Association of Counties, if this 28 percent cap had been in place over the past decade, borrowing costs to state and local governments would have increased by over $173 billion, while a full repeal would cost nearly $500 billion over the same time period. The U.S. Conference of Mayors has come out against this provision, as well as any proposal that would eliminate the deduction for personal state and local income, property and sales taxes, on the basis that these deductions have contributed to the stability of reliable and flexible tax revenues. In 2013, 140 members of Congress, including 12 members of the Florida delegation, signed letters to congressional leadership asking that the current tax exemption for municipal bonds remain in place. RECOMMENDED POSITION: Oppose legislation that would threaten the tax exemption on state and local bonds, including a 28 percent cap on tax-exempt municipal bonds. FEDERAL ISSUE: Remote Sales-Tax Legislation BACKGROUND; HOW IT MAY AFFECT THE CITY OF CLEARWATER: With some limited exceptions, retailers only collect sales tax in states where they have brick-and-mortar stores. The burden then falls to consumers to report to state tax departments any sales taxes they owe for online purchases. Often, due to complex reporting requirements, consumers do not report those purchases when completing their tax returns. As a result, local retailers can be at a competitive disadvantage because they must collect sales taxes while out-of-state retailers, including many large online and catalog retailers, often offer their customers a discount by collecting no state or local sales taxes. Therefore, the current sales tax system is perceived as being unfair to brick-and-mortar retailers that employ local residents, including local stores as well as national chains. This lost revenue is also a drain on local government resources. In 2013, uncollected sales tax was estimated to have cost local governments $26.1 billion nationwide. Legislation to correct this inequity has the support of local, state, and national business groups, such as the National Governors Association, the National Conference of State Legislators, the Council of State Governments, the National Association of Counties, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the Florida Chamber of Commerce, Associated Industries of Florida, Florida TaxWatch, Florida Retail Federation, and Amazon.com, among others. To create a level playing field, Congress introduced the Marketplace Fairness Act in both the House and Senate in the 113th Congress. The bill would create two systems from which states can choose to facilitate the process of collecting these taxes. The first is the already-established Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement, which would simplify state and local sales and use tax laws. Twenty-four states have signed this agreement. The second alternative would allow for states to meet minimum requirements for their state tax laws and administration thereof. To protect small, online retailers, this legislation exempts sellers who make less than $1,000,000 in total remote sales from the requirement to collect the tax. In 2013, the Senate passed the Marketplace Fairness Act with bipartisan support, with Senator Nelson voting for the measure and Senator Rubio against it. In the House, companion legislation was not considered, although it had 67 cosponsors, including Florida Representatives Deutch, Crenshaw, Ross, Wilson, and Diaz-Balart. In the 114th Congress, House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) and Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-CA) circulated a discussion draft of remote sales tax legislation as an alternative to the Marketplace Fairness Act. Under the draft, only states that join a multi-state clearinghouse would have the authority to collect sales tax revenue on out-of-state purchases, and retailers would charge sales tax based on their own state and local rules. The clearinghouse would then divide the sales tax revenue among member states. Although passage of remote sales tax legislation remains an uphill battle during the 114th Congress, the Goodlatte/Eshoo discussion draft could serve as a good starting point for a deal on the issue. Meanwhile, the rise of Alibaba, the online Chinese retailer that has been compared to a combination of Amazon, eBay and PayPal, could perhaps sway opinions of those opposed to such legislation. Last year, Alibaba accounted for $248 billion in online sales and has emerged as a serious competitor to American online retailers, with none of their revenue remaining in the U.S., nor taxed. RECOMMENDED POSITION: Support legislation that requires companies making catalog and internet sales to collect and remit the associated taxes. FEDERAL ISSUE: Transient Occupancy Taxes BACKGROUND; HOW IT MAY AFFECT THE CITY OF CLEARWATER: In the 111th Congress, there were discussions of attempts by senior Senators to insert language into various pieces of legislation that would have exempted online travel brokers (Expedia, Travelocity, etc.) from remitting the full bed tax rate collected from consumers to the appropriate local government. For instance, if an online travel broker were to pay $60 for a room in the City of Clearwater and then sell that room to a consumer for $100, they would be able to, under the proposal, only remit $6 dollars to the local government instead of $10 (using a 10 percent bed tax for illustrative purposes). In late 2009, 17 Florida counties, including Pinellas, filed an action against a number of online travel companies alleging that the companies have failed to collect and/or pay taxes under the respective tourist development tax ordinances. During 2012, there were several Florida State Circuit Court cases that ruled in favor of the online travel brokers. Two cases, including the 17 county case, cited that Florida law is not clear on the issue, while a Circuit Court Judge ruled more directly in July that the online travel broker only owes local tourist taxes on the discounted rates they paid for the rooms. In May 2013, the Florida First District Court of Appeals upheld the circuit court’s ruling while urging the Florida Supreme Court to make a final ruling on this matter. Finally, in September 2013, the Florida Supreme Court agreed to hear the case, which is still pending. Meanwhile, in 2012, the District of Columbia government won a suit where a judge ruled that online travel firms should repay back taxes on the full retail price of hotel rooms they sold to consumers in the years after the D.C. City Council passed legislation mandating they do so. In February of 2014, a conditional settlement was reached in this case with six online travel firms. Although they have a right to appeal the D.C Superior Court decision, they agreed to pay $60.9 million in back taxes to the D.C. government. Between 1998 and 2010, the amount owed in the lawsuit was estimated to be over $200 million. By 2015, local governments had reportedly filed 88 lawsuits against Expedia and others for tax underpayment. The company won dismissal in 23 cases while 35 remain active. The remainder of the cases have been settled, put on hold, referred to administrative proceedings, or otherwise resolved. A 2011 estimate by the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities suggests that state and local governments lose as much as $396 million a year due to such remittance practices by online hotel purveyors. These examples demonstrate how courts across the country have ruled differently on this issue over the past few years, which has led online travel purveyors to continue to seek Federal legislation that would codify their goal of not remitting taxes on the price of the hotel room paid by the consumer. Earlier in 2012, several of these online discount travel brokers (including Expedia, Orbitz, and Priceline) organized and registered to lobby under a new organization called the “Interactive Travel Services Association,” whose purpose is to advocate on several issues, including “taxes and fees related to travel.” In May 2013, Expedia and other online hotel room purveyors attempted to amend the Marketplace Fairness Act to achieve their transient occupancy tax objectives. Ultimately, this effort was unsuccessful and the bill was passed out of the Senate without this language. In 2014, Pinellas County collected a record $35 million in transient occupancy taxes, which are used to support the tourism industry in our region. In addition, officials with the Clearwater Marine Aquarium have suggested using a portion of the transient occupancy tax that currently goes toward paying the debt on Tropicana Field for the proposed Clearwater Marine Aquarium, once it sunsets in 2016. This “stadium tax” alone generates nearly $5.5 million per year in revenue. The importance of this project to the City of Clearwater, as well as this level of funding, underscores the significance of this revenue source and the need to ensure it is not constrained by detrimental legislation. RECOMMENDED POSITION: Oppose legislation that would exempt online travel brokers from paying taxes on the full room rate paid by the consumer, thereby costing Pinellas County the opportunity to collect appropriate Transient Occupancy Taxes from visitors to the region. FEDERAL ISSUE: Transportation Authorization BACKGROUND; HOW IT MAY AFFECT THE CITY OF CLEARWATER: After several years of short-term authorizations, Congress passed and the President signed the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) on July 6, 2012. MAP-21 funded Federal surface transportation programs at roughly the levels of the previous authorization ($48 billion) through September 30, 2014. The law also eliminated, consolidated, or changed many programs, transformed nearly all discretionary transportation grant programs into formula programs, and left much discretion to state Departments of Transportation on how to allocate funding among the remaining programs. One of those changes was the removal of dedicated funding for several programs, including Safe Routes to School, Recreational Trails, and the Transportation Enhancements program. The legislation instead created a new Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP). Under this consolidated program, funding for these activities was reduced by approximately $300 million annually from former levels of funding. Fifty percent of Florida’s $49.9 million annual TAP allocation for Fiscal Years 2014 and 2015 will be sub- allocated within the state based on population, and census-designated urbanized areas with populations above 200,000 will be given project selection authority over its portion of these funds. Funding available to the City of Clearwater will go through the Pinellas County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO). Prior to the expiration of MAP-21 in September 2014, Congress passed a short-term reauthorization of Federal highway programs based on MAP-21 levels that is set to expire in May of 2015. Congress will now need to re-address transportation funding this year amid debates related to sequestration and the debt ceiling. In developing MAP-21 and the current authorization, Congress did not address the need for a long-term, sustainable plan to finance our nation’s transportation infrastructure. Fuel taxes, which currently provide most of the money for surface transportation, do not provide a solid long-term foundation for generally desired transportation funding growth, even if Congress were to authorize a modest increase. The choice then becomes finding new sources of income for an expanded program, or alternately, to settle for a smaller program that might look very different than the one currently in place. Less Federal funding via a future transportation reauthorization bill would mean significantly less funding available to FDOT, the Pinellas County MPO, and ultimately the City of Clearwater, to support both surface transportation and transit projects and programs. In January 2015, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) and Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) announced plans to introduce legislation to transfer a portion of repatriated income from foreign subsidiaries of U.S. corporations into the Highway Trust Fund to help address its insolvency issues. Congress is also expected to consider a long-term reauthorization of our nation’s surface transportation programs during the 114th Congress. Meanwhile, legislation was introduced in the 113th Congress that would have allowed states to raise the maximum weight limit for trucks on Interstates from 80,000 pounds to 97,000 (H.R. 612). This is nearly identical to legislation previously introduced that was overwhelmingly opposed by law enforcement, first responders, local elected officials, and engineers in prior Congresses. There is concern that such provisions allowing heavier trucks could be included in the next transportation authorization legislation. RECOMMENDED POSITION: Monitor proposed changes to Federal highway and transit programs. Monitor efforts to enhance Federal transportation revenue streams. Oppose efforts that would allow heavier trucks on Interstates. Support any and all opportunities to secure funding for the City of Clearwater’s priorities via this legislation or other means. FEDERAL ISSUE: Alternative Fuel Tax Incentives BACKGROUND; HOW IT MAY AFFECT THE CITY OF CLEARWATER: An older Transportation authorization bill, known as SAFETEA-LU, provided a tax incentive for natural gas when used as a motor vehicle fuel. The $0.50 per gallon equivalent incentive, which is provided to businesses, individuals, and tax-exempt entities that sell the fuel, essentially serves as a rebate. In the fall of 2011, the City of Clearwater opened the first public natural gas filling station in the Tampa Bay area, and takes advantage of this tax incentive with every gallon of gas sold. In 2014, the rebate provided $80,310 to the City for 160,620 gallons, and is expected to grow significantly over the next several years. The $0.50 incentive originally expired at the end of Fiscal Year 2009, and has been extended four times, most recently as part of a broad “tax extenders” package passed in December 2014. However, Congress was unable to come to an agreement on a long-term extension and settled for a one-year retroactive patch to the end of 2014. Unfortunately, these tax provisions have once again expired, needing to be retroactively renewed again. The primary hurdle faced by advocates of extending these tax credits is the cost, which is estimated to be around $50 billion annually. In the 114th Congress, the House has thus far again focused on extending select tax provisions rather than a blanket extension for all expired tax credits. The Senate, however, has not indicated an interest in considering these stand-alone bills, preferring to focus on Senate Finance Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch’s (R-UT) efforts to achieve comprehensive tax reform. RECOMMENDED POSITION: Support the extension of a $0.50 per gallon equivalent tax incentive for natural gas when used as a motor fuel. FEDERAL ISSUE: Public Safety Programs BACKGROUND; HOW IT MAY AFFECT THE CITY OF CLEARWATER: Federal grant funding for many Department of Justice (DOJ) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) programs are provided as block grants with each state receiving a certain amount of funding, generally linked to population. That funding is then passed through to local jurisdictions to help support police, fire, emergency management, and homeland security functions of government. The Byrne Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) is an example of this. In other instances, funding from federal programs is made available to local governments via competitive grant solicitations. Specifically, program funds can be used to hire police officers through Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) or firefighters through Staffing for Adequate Fire & Emergency Response Grants (SAFER), and purchase equipment through the Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG). There is also another category of grants that are distributed to specific recipients based on certain criteria, such as the Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI), which provides funds to eligible regions to help communities prepare for, prevent, respond to and recover from potential attacks and other hazards. The City of Clearwater benefits from both direct and indirect annual allocations from several of these Federal programs, while other programs offer competitive grant opportunities from which the City has traditionally sought funds. After years of steady decreases, the FY 2014 omnibus appropriations bill provided slight funding increases for the COPS, JAG, AFG, and SAFER programs. The COPS hiring program received $180 million in FY 2014, and the JAG program received $376 million, while both the AFG and SAFER fire- related grants each received $340 million. UASI received level funding at $600 million. For FY 2015, the Administration proposed an increase for the COPS hiring program to $274 million, level funding for the JAG program, and a $5 million reduction in funding to $335 million for both the AFG and SAFER programs. As in recent previous budgets, the Administration recommended lumping several DHS grants, including UASI, into one "National Preparedness Grant Program." In the FY 2015 omnibus appropriations bill, Congress provided level funding for both the COPS and JAG programs at $180 million and $376 million, respectively. In a separate bill, Congress provided $340 million each for AFG and SAFER, and $600 million for UASI for FY 2015. In the Administration’s FY 2016 budget, an increase from $180 million to $249.5 million is proposed for the COPS program, while an increase from $376 million to $388 million is proposed for the JAG program. Meanwhile, the Administration proposed placing all FEMA state and local grant programs into one account to be called the "National Preparedness Grant Program” to be funded at $2.2 billion for FY 2016. To date, however, Congress has chosen to fund the SAFER, AFG, and UASI programs individually, and will likely continue to do so. RECOMMENDED POSITION: Support at least level funding from FY 2015 for a wide variety of Department of Justice and Department of Homeland Security grants, e.g., Community Oriented Policing Services, Byrne Justice Assistance Grants, Assistance to Firefighters Grants, Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response Grants, and the Urban Area Security Initiative. Support any City of Clearwater applications for these funds. FEDERAL ISSUE: The Corporation for National and Community Service – AmeriCorps’ State and National Grant Program BACKGROUND; HOW IT MAY AFFECT THE CITY OF CLEARWATER: President Bill Clinton signed the National and Community Service Trust Act in 1993. This initiative established the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) and brought the full range of domestic community service programs under the umbrella of one central organization. This legislation also created AmeriCorps, a network of national service programs that provide intensive community service opportunities throughout the United States to meet critical needs in education, public safety, health, and the environment. Due to the success of the program, and underscoring its bipartisan support, President George W. Bush signed the Strengthen AmeriCorps Program Act, which authorized nearly double the number of AmeriCorps members in all categories. For the past 20 years, the City of Clearwater’s Police Department has received Federal funding from the AmeriCorps’ State and National grant program through Florida’s State Service Commission, Volunteer Florida. The Clearwater Police Department’s program offers a two-year public safety program to local college students, which provides them the opportunity to work directly with law enforcement officials. These students are offered shadowing opportunities such as going on ride-alongs with police officers, and participating in day-to-day activities in the police department. After the two years, if the students have proven themselves, they have the opportunity to be hired on as police officers. Since the inception of this program, the Clearwater Police Department has hired 20 police officers in permanent positions and promoted 4 to supervisor positions. However, the program has also evolved from solely introducing persons to government service, to a larger focus on supporting non-profits, disaster preparedness, and education. Additional examples of the events that the AmeriCorps program coordinates and supports are: Free Dental Clinic Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Parade, car seat fittings, fire safety, helmet giveaways, Thanksgiving food giveaways, and many more events and services. Should this program be lost, the costs to support these events would place a large burden on the local non-profits. The City would subsequently suffer from a reduction in events that promote safety awareness and support the less fortunate, placing a larger demand on the City’s police force and government resources. The aforementioned bipartisan support for CNCS programs, including the AmeriCorps’ State and National grant program, has waned in Congress during the past few years. In both Fiscal Year (FY) 2012 and 2013, the House of Representatives approved their version of the Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education Appropriations bill, which included a 74 percent funding reduction for CNCS programs overall, and eliminated all AmeriCorps grant programs. Ultimately, in FY 2012, the CNCS was funded at $1.048 billion, with the AmeriCorps’ State and National grant program receiving $344.3 million. In FY 2013, this program saw an $18.1 million reduction in funding to $326 million post-sequestration, but saw some of its funding restored in the FY 2014 omnibus appropriations bill to $335.4 million. Funding for FY 2015 remained level at $335.4 million. In its FY 2016 budget request, the Administration also suggested $335.4 million in funding for the AmeriCorps’ State and National Grant Program. RECOMMENDED POSITION: Support continued annual funding for grant programs within the Corporation for National and Community Service, particularly for the AmeriCorps State and National grant program. FEDERAL ISSUE: Department of Housing and Urban Development Formula Programs (CDBG & HOME) BACKGROUND; HOW IT MAY AFFECT THE CITY OF CLEARWATER: The City of Clearwater receives direct allocations of funding from two Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) formula programs: the HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) and Community Development Block Grants (CDBG). HOME funds are designed to create affordable housing for low-income households and are awarded annually as formula grants to participating jurisdictions, including the City of Clearwater. HUD establishes HOME Investment Trust Funds for each grantee, providing a line of credit that the jurisdiction may draw upon as needed. The program allows local governments to use HOME funds for grants, direct loans, loan guarantees or other forms of credit enhancement, as well as rental assistance or security deposits. CDBG is a flexible grant program that provides communities with Federal funding to address a wide range of unique community development needs. The CDBG program provides annual grants on a formula basis to units of local government and states, including the City of Clearwater. Since Fiscal Year (FY) 2010, nationwide funding for the HOME and CDBG programs has been cut by 48 percent and 25 percent, respectively, with varying changes to individual recipients. In the FY 2014 omnibus appropriations bill the HOME program received a small increase from $948 million to $1 billion, while the CDBG program was provided $3.03 billion, which was $48 million less than the FY 2013 levels. In FY 2014, the City received $299,956 in HOME funding and $726,298 in CDBG funds. For FY 2015, the Administration proposed in its budget a reduction for both the HOME and CDBG programs to $950 million and $2.8 billion, respectively. In the end, Congress provided $900 million for HOME and $3 billion for CDBG in the FY 2015 omnibus, a $100 million and $30 million respective reduction from FY 2014. This resulted in an FY 2015 HOME allocation of $265,110 and CDBG allocation of $681,257 to the City of Clearwater. In its FY 2016 budget, the Administration proposed an increase in HOME funding to $1.06 billion, while maintaining its proposed level of funding from its FY 2015 budget at $2.8 billion for the CDBG program. RECOMMENDED POSITION: Support adequate funding for future fiscal years for both the Community Development Block Grant and the HOME Investment Partnerships programs because of their critical role in the City’s overall efforts to support those that are least fortunate. FEDERAL ISSUE: Environmental Protection Agency’s Brownfields Program BACKGROUND; HOW IT MAY AFFECT THE CITY OF CLEARWATER: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) administers a cleanup program to provide financial assistance to state, local, and tribal governmental entities for certain types of contaminated industrial sites, referred to as “brownfields.” Sites eligible for this assistance tend to be where the known or suspected presence of contamination may present an impediment to economic development, but where the risks generally are not high enough for the site to be addressed under the Superfund program or other related cleanup authorities. The brownfields program focuses on providing Federal financial assistance for “orphan” sites at which the potential need for cleanup remains unaddressed. EPA’s brownfields program awards two different categories of grants: one competitive and one formula- based. The City of Clearwater is only eligible for the former of the two. Within the competitive grant program, the EPA offers assessment, cleanup, and revolving loan fund grants. An eligible entity may apply for up to $200,000 per site. In the near future, Clearwater may have a need to obtain additional cleanup funding for various sites. Unfortunately, the current limitation of $200,000 of Federal funding per project is extremely restrictive, as many site cleanups exceed $1 million. To facilitate site remediation and reuse, the funding maximum should be increased to allow for necessary resources to remediate orphan brownfield sites. Clearwater’s Brownfields Area (CBA) covers 1,842 acres and includes over 250 regulatory listed sites in over 7,000 properties. Over 125 of these sites have reported contamination. These sites range in size from less than one acre to over 40 acres. The CBA economic development potential has greatly decreased over the past 30 years. Private disinvestment combined with environmental decline has left an indelible mark on the area, characterized by business and job loss, impacting the CBA by leaving a legacy of abandoned lands tainted by former gas stations, dry cleaning facilities, print shops, and other similar uses. As a result of crime, distress, and economic deterioration, the CBA was designated a U.S. Department of Justice Operation Weed & Seed site in 1996, and a portion of the area has also been designated a Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) by the U.S. Small Business Administration. The City of Clearwater has implemented one of the most successful brownfields programs in the country, having completed over 100 assessment projects, but continues to have significant health, welfare, and environmental issues that need to be addressed. Clearwater has identified more than 125 additional contaminated sites in the CBA that may require environmental assessment. The City will need Federal funding for these and previously assessed sites to complete reuse planning and cleanup. In January of 2013, the City applied for an FY 2014 EPA Brownfields Assessment Grant in the amount of $400,000 ($200,000 each to assess potential hazardous substances and petroleum or petroleum product impacted properties within the CBA). In FY 2013, the Section 104(k) competitive grant program received level funding from FY 2012, at $94 million, before sequestration. In the FY 2014 omnibus appropriations bill, it received $90 million, which restored some of the cuts due to sequestration. In the FY 2015 omnibus appropriations bill, Congress reduced funding for the Section 104(k) competitive grant program to $80 million. In its FY 2016 budget request, the Administration proposed an increase in funding to $110 million. In the 113th Congress, before he passed away, Senator Frank Lautenberg (NJ) introduced S. 491, the Brownfields Utilization, Investment, and Local Development (BUILD) Act to reauthorize the brownfields program through 2015. The bill would maintain the current authorization level of $250 million per year, increase the $200,000 funding limit per project to $500,000, while giving EPA the discretion to raise the limit to $650,000 if necessary, and provide for the creation of multipurpose grants, allowing local governments to obtain up to $950,000 to do site inventory, assessments, planning, or remediation for one or more brownfields sites. In the House, Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-NY) introduced companion legislation under the same name. With the passing of Senator Lautenberg, the BUILD Act will be in need of a new champion to reintroduce it during the 114th Congress. RECOMMENDED POSITION: Support continued adequate annual funding for the Environmental Protection Agency’s brownfields program, including at least $90 million for the Section 104(k) competitive grant program. Support legislation to reauthorize the Environmental Protection Agency’s brownfields program. Support any City of Clearwater applications for brownfields funding assistance. FEDERAL ISSUE: Supportive Housing for the Elderly and for Persons with Disabilities - Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Section 202 and 811 Programs BACKGROUND; HOW IT MAY AFFECT THE CITY OF CLEARWATER: The Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Section 202 program helps expand the supply of affordable housing with supportive services for the elderly by providing interest-free capital advances to private, nonprofit sponsors to finance the development of housing. The capital advance does not have to be repaid as long as the project serves very low-income elderly persons for 40 years. The Section 202 program also provides project rental assistance funds to cover the difference between the HUD-approved operating cost for the project and the tenants' contribution towards rent. Project rental assistance contracts are approved initially for three years and are renewable based on the availability of funds. The HUD Section 811 program is authorized to provide funding to develop and subsidize rental housing with an availability of supportive services for very low-income adults with disabilities. Traditionally, the Section 811 program provided interest-free capital advances and operating subsidies to nonprofit developers of affordable housing for persons with disabilities, in a similar manner to the Section 202 program. However, in Fiscal Year 2012, Congress chose not to fund these activities, and instead has moved toward providing funding for rental assistance. These funds go to state housing agencies that have entered into partnerships with state health and human services and Medicaid agencies, and are distributed to multifamily housing complexes that provide a range of services for the disabled. In Pinellas County, the non-profit Boley Centers, Inc. receives HUD Section 202 and 811 funding to distribute to several housing complexes throughout the County, including the Jerry Howe Transitional Apartments in Clearwater, which provides housing for disabled veterans. In the FY 2014 omnibus appropriations bill, the Supportive Housing for the Elderly program experienced an 8 percent increase to $384 million, while the Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities program suffered a 19 percent decrease to $126 million. For FY 2015, the Administration’s budget proposed an increase in funding for the Section 202 and 811 programs at $440 million and $160 million, respectively. Congress, however, appropriated $420 million for Section 202 and $135 for Section 811. The Administration again requested an increase to these programs in its FY 2016 budget request by recommending $455 million for Section 202 and $177 million for Section 811. RECOMMENDED POSITION: Support continued adequate annual Federal funding for the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Supportive Housing for the Elderly program (Section 202) and Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities program (Section 811). FEDERAL ISSUE: Homeless Assistance Competitive Grants – Continuum of Care Program BACKGROUND; HOW IT MAY AFFECT THE CITY OF CLEARWATER: In 1987, Congress passed the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, as a response to the increase in homelessness in the United States. It originally created several programs within the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) that focused on combating the root causes of homelessness. The McKinney-Vento Act has been amended many times, most recently in 2009, when President Obama signed the Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing (HEARTH) Act, which updated and expanded the definition of homelessness and made changes to existing programs under McKinney-Vento. Under the HEARTH Act, three previously separate HUD homeless assistance programs, the Supportive Housing Program (SHP), Shelter Plus Care program (S+C), and Single Room Occupancy (SRO) program, were grouped under the single umbrella Continuum of Care (CoC) program. The CoC program provides competitive grant funding to local governments and non-profits, and requires communities seeking funds to develop a Continuum of Care system designed to address the critical problem of homelessness through a coordinated community-based process of identifying needs and building a system to address them. The approach is predicated on the understanding that homelessness is not caused merely by a lack of shelter, but involves a variety of underlying, unmet needs, including physical, economic, and social. Under the CoC program, the SHP provides assistance to help the homeless transition from their current state to a more stable living situation. The goals of the program are to provide assistance to help the homeless achieve residential stability, and foster independence through programs that increase their skill and/or income levels. The S+C program provides rental assistance that, when combined with social services, provides supportive housing for homeless people with disabilities and their families. The program allows for a variety of housing choices such as group homes or individual units, coupled with a range of supportive services. The SRO was created to expand suitable residential opportunities for homeless individuals. This has been accomplished through compensating owners of eligible SRO residences, for a period of 10 years, for improvements made to kitchen and bathroom facilities in eligible SRO residences, and providing rental assistance for the residents that occupy those units. Under the HEARTH Act, HUD also added 12 new eligible activities for funding under the single CoC program, which include the following: housing search mediation or outreach to property owners; credit repair; provision of security or utility deposits; rental assistance for a final month at a location; assistance with moving costs; and/or other activities that help homeless individuals move immediately into housing or would benefit individuals who have moved into permanent housing in the last 6 months. Another new HUD requirement is that established CoC’s rank their projects for funding into two categories: Tier I new or renewal projects, which are most likely to receive funding, and Tier II new or renewal projects, whose funding is dependent on the resources still available and the strength of the CoC’s application. The Homeless Leadership Board (HLB) is the CoC for Pinellas County, and is responsible for the annual HUD CoC Program Combined Application on behalf of its member agencies. The CoC competitive grants are funded in the Homeless Assistance Grants account for HUD, and in Fiscal Year (FY) 2013, the program received $1.93 billion due to an anomaly, or an exception, in the Continuing Resolution sparing it from deeper sequestration cuts. In FY 2014, Congress funded Homeless Assistance Grants at $2.105 billion in the omnibus appropriations bill, of which over $3.9 million was awarded to HLB. The Administration, in its FY 2015 budget request, proposed an increase to $2.4 billion for these grants. However, Congress ultimately provided $2.135 billion in the FY 2015 omnibus appropriations bill. For its FY 2016 budget request, the Administration again proposed an increase to $2.4 billion for CoC grants. RECOMMENDED POSITION: Support continued adequate annual funding for Department of Housing and Urban Development Homeless Assistance Grants, particularly for the Continuum of Care Program. FEDERAL ISSUE: Economic Development Administration BACKGROUND; HOW IT MAY AFFECT THE CITY OF CLEARWATER: The Economic Development Administration (EDA) is primarily a granting agency that funds economic development projects throughout the country. Successful projects usually leverage roughly 200 new jobs and $24 million in private investment for every $1 million of EDA investment. The City of Clearwater has identified information technology and software as one of its industry clusters with the highest growth potential. The City has been working to develop a coordinated approach to meet the needs of pre-venture, start up, and small-to-medium sized business enterprises. Using the resources and capabilities of local and regional partners, including public, private and non-profit organizations, the initiative envisions the delivery of programs, services, and facilities to help foster and grow this promising industry in Clearwater. Should this prove to be a successful endeavor, it may be possible for the City to work with the EDA to fund a co-location space, and transition the City’s program to a “bricks and mortar” center that allows all partners the opportunity to meet with clients in a centralized location. The President’s Deficit Commission, as well as more recent Congressional proposals, have proposed the elimination of EDA, as its mission is seen as duplicative by some. In June 2012, the Senate failed to pass the “Economic Development Revitalization Act,” which would have reauthorized the Economic Development Administration (EDA) through 2015. EDA’s authorization expired in September 2008, but funding via the appropriations process has kept it functioning without an authorization. In addition to reauthorizing EDA, the Senate legislation would increase the authorized funding for the program from $300 to $500 million annually. Despite the failure to pass the legislation, the EDA will continue to operate through the annual appropriations process if provided sufficient funding by Congress. The FY 2014 omnibus appropriations bill provided an increase in funding for the EDA from $220.6 million in FY 2013 to $246.5 million. The Administration had proposed a small increase in funding the EDA in its FY 2015 budget to just over $248 million, but Congress went even further by providing a $3.5 million increase for the EDA to $250 million for FY 2015. In its FY 2016 budget request, the Administration proposed a further increase in funding to $273 million. RECOMMENDED POSITION: Support continued funding of the Economic Development Administration. Support City of Clearwater grant applications through EDA programs. FEDERAL ISSUE: Excise Tax on High-Cost Health Insurance Plans BACKGROUND; HOW IT MAY AFFECT THE CITY OF CLEARWATER: The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), often referred to simply as the Affordable Care Act (ACA) or “Obamacare,” was passed by Congress and signed into law in 2010. The primary goal of the ACA was to increase the quality and affordability of health insurance, as well as lower the uninsured rate by expanding public and private insurance coverage. The law includes a number of mechanisms, including individual and employer mandates, insurance exchanges, minimum standards of care, and new taxes/fees to accomplish these goals and reduce the cost of health care. One such mechanism is the excise tax on high-cost health insurance plans, often referred to as the “Cadillac tax.” Under the ACA, a Cadillac health plan is defined as a plan with annual premiums exceeding $10,200 for individuals or $27,500 for families. Beginning in 2018, a 40 percent excise tax will be assessed on any dollar amount paid in premiums exceeding the aforementioned values, which, after 2018, will adjust to inflation annually. For example, a $12,000 individual plan in 2018 would pay an excise tax of $720 per covered employee (12,000 - 10,200 = 1,800 x 40% = 720). However, the rate of growth in healthcare costs often outpaces the rate of inflation, meaning employers are likely to pay significantly more each year. The tax, which is estimated to generate $80 billion over the next ten years, is an offset to pay for the ACA. Cadillac plans were targeted for taxation due to the idea that these benefit-rich plans (i.e. low, if any, deductible, little cost-sharing by patients, wider provider networks, greater available health services, etc.) often insulate workers from the high cost of their health care, thereby encouraging the overuse of care. Excessive, and sometimes unnecessary, tests and hospital visits have been shown to raise the cost of U.S. health care overall. Therefore, the tax was designed to discourage employers from choosing these types of plans. The Cadillac tax, however, is often hitting public sector employers and workers the hardest. Those who work in the public sector have long-understood that strong health-care benefits are often granted in lieu of higher pay. However, many employers must now choose whether to cut employees’ health plans so they fall below the Cadillac threshold, pass the tax onto the workers, or pay the tax themselves and make difficult budget cuts elsewhere. Many large employers, both public and private, have already begun laying the groundwork to avoid the 40 percent surcharge by passing more costs down to employees. Originally envisioned as a tool to reduce healthcare costs, the tax in practice looks increasingly like an increase in out-of-pocket costs for workers. The excise tax was originally slated to begin in 2013. However, due to strong concerns expressed by labor groups and others, the ACA was amended by Congress to delay the tax until 2018. Opponents of the tax hope this delay will allow for greater time to further amend the provision. While no bills related to the Cadillac tax have been introduced in the 114th Congress thus far, the new congressional leadership has already shown a willingness to alter controversial portions of the ACA, and the Cadillac tax may be addressed sometime in the future. RECOMMENDED POSITION: Support efforts to repeal the excise tax on high-cost health insurance plans (a.k.a. the Cadillac tax) within the Affordable Care Act. FEDERAL ISSUE: Offshore Energy Exploration BACKGROUND; HOW IT MAY AFFECT THE CITY OF CLEARWATER: Active energy drilling currently occurs in both the western and central Gulf of Mexico. However, nearly the entire eastern Gulf is protected from drilling until 2022 by the Gulf of Mexico Energy Security Act of 2006 (GOMESA). State waters in the Gulf of Mexico extend 10.5 miles from shore. The Federal government controls waters beyond that point. For many years, the Federal government has developed five-year Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Oil and Gas Leasing programs to guide energy exploration activities in Federal waters. The most recent plan, developed for 2012-2017, did not propose to lease any areas in the Atlantic OCS for oil and gas drilling. However, the Administration’s plan did indicate that it would allow seismic analyses to determine energy resource potential in areas of the Atlantic OCS from Delaware to parts of Florida (approximately north of Brevard County). In 2014, the Department of Interior’s (DOI) Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) finalized a Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS) on seismic air-gun testing for offshore oil and gas exploration in the Atlantic Ocean, which opens the door for the first new oil and gas surveys in three decades. Specifically, the plan allows for the deployment of high-volume air-guns in Federal waters to pinpoint the depth and size of oil and gas deposits. While it is viewed by many to include stringent regulations to mitigate against the effects these air guns may have on wildlife, some argue that the testing will still have devastating impacts on the affected areas. Seismic testing could begin in 2015. Should the analysis of the seismic surveys be completed in time for potential inclusion in the next DOI OCS Oil and Gas Leasing Program for 2017-2022, some believe that drilling could take place in areas identified as having resource potential as early as 2020. Senator Nelson and 10 other members of the Florida delegation sent a letter to President Obama expressing their disapproval of the decision, citing the effects seismic testing could have on Florida’s wildlife and fisheries. Meanwhile, active energy drilling occurs in both the western and central Gulf of Mexico. However, nearly the entire eastern Gulf is protected from drilling until 2022 by the Gulf of Mexico Energy Security Act of 2006 (GOMESA). GOMESA does not prevent seismic testing in the eastern Gulf though, and there is nothing that would prohibit such testing from being included in the next five-year OCS Oil and Gas Leasing Program, nor prohibit any future Administration from allowing such testing as well. Finally, in 2014 BOEM began the process of preparing a new five-year OCS Oil and Gas Leasing Program for 2017-2022. The plan does not schedule any lease sales off the coast of Florida, which should keep the entire Florida coastline free from energy extraction activities through at least 2022. However, with the recent political changes in Congress, new technologies creating new resource opportunities, and a seemingly endless need for fossil fuels, it is still possible that exploration and/or drilling activities could occur in all three locations after 2022. RECOMMENDED POSITION: Monitor the potential expansion of offshore energy exploration in Florida’s Federal waters. FEDERAL ISSUE: Land and Water Conservation Fund BACKGROUND; HOW IT MAY AFFECT THE CITY OF CLEARWATER: The Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) Act of 1965 was enacted to help preserve, develop, and assure access to outdoor recreation facilities for our nation. The law created the Land and Water Conservation Fund in the U.S. Treasury as a funding source to implement outdoor recreation goals. The LWCF has been the principal source of monies for land acquisition for outdoor recreation by four Federal agencies—the National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, Fish and Wildlife Service, and Forest Service. The LWCF also funds a matching grant program via the National Park Service to assist states (and local governments as sub-recipients) in acquiring recreational lands and developing outdoor recreational facilities. A portion of the appropriation is divided equally among the states, with the remainder apportioned based on need, as determined by the Secretary of the Interior. The states award their grant money through a competitive selection process based on statewide recreation plans and establish their own priorities and criteria. Finally, beginning in Fiscal Year (FY) 1998, LWCF has been used to fund other federal programs with related purposes. The LWCF is authorized at $900 million annually. While the fund accrues revenues and collections from multiple sources, nearly all of the revenues are derived from oil and gas leasing in the Outer Continental Shelf. Congress determines the level of appropriations each year, and yearly appropriations have fluctuated widely since the origin of the program. Of the total revenues that have accrued throughout the history of the program ($33.5 billion), less than half have been appropriated ($15.8 billion). FY 2001 marked the highest funding ever, with appropriations exceeding the authorized level by reaching nearly $1 billion. In FY 2002, Congress provided the most LWCF funding of the past twenty years for the state grant program: $144 million. However, this has trended downward over the past decade. The FY 2014 and 2015 omnibus appropriations bills both provided $306 million for land acquisition, which included essentially level funding from FY 2013 for the formula state conservation grant program at just over $45 million. However, in FY 2014, Congress also included an additional $3 million for a competitive state conservation grant program that would focus on projects that would acquire lands and waters for outdoor recreation purposes, as well as develop new or renovate existing outdoor recreation facilities. Congress funded this competitive program again in FY 2015 at the same amount. In its FY 2016 budget request, the Administration recommended $48.1 million for the competitive state grant program. In addition to yearly funding challenges, the current authorization for the LWCF is set to expire at the end of 2015. In 2013, former Senator Max Baucus (D-MT) introduced S. 338, the Land and Water Conservation Authorization and Funding Act, which would do the following: 1) Amend the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act of 1965 to make permanent the LWCF’s authorization; 2) Make revenue into the LWCF available for expenditure to carry out the purposes of the Act without further appropriation; and 3) Require that not less than 1.5 percent of the annual authorized funding amount to be made available for projects that secure recreational public access to existing federal public land for hunting, fishing, and other recreational purposes. This bill had 43 cosponsors (39D, 2R, 2I), including Senator Barbara Boxer. Meanwhile, in the 114th Congress, Senator Burr and others have tried to pass legislation to simply extend the authorization of the LWCF, allowing it to continue to collect revenue. However, to date, those efforts have failed due primarily to concerns over lack of support for the effort in the House. RECOMMENDED POSITION: Support a $900 million annual appropriation from the Land and Water Conservation Fund, including at least $100 million for the state grant program. Support legislation reauthorizing the Land and Water Conservation Fund. Cover Memo City of Clearwater City Hall 112 S.

(ANX2015-02003) SUMMARY: This voluntary annexation petition involves one parcel of land totaling 0.265 acres. The parcel is occupied by a single-family dwelling and is located on the south side of Pleasant Parkway, approximately 350 feet south of Bell Cheer Drive. The applicant is requesting annexation in order to receive solid waste service from the City, and will be connected to City sewer as part of the Belcher Area Sanitary Sewer Extension Project Area. The property is contiguous to existing City boundaries along the west and south. It is proposed that the property be assigned Future Land Use Map designations of Residential Low (RL) and Preservation (P) and the zoning categories of Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR) and Preservation (P). The Planning and Development Department determined that the proposed annexation is consistent with the provisions of Clearwater Community Development Code Section 4-604.E as follows: ·The property currently receives water service from Pinellas County. Collection of solid waste will be provided to the property by the City. The applicant has paid the sewer impact fee in full, and will be connected to the system once it is available. The property is 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 property by Station 47 located at 1460 Lakeview Road. The City has adequate capacity to serve the property with sanitary sewer, solid waste, police, fire and EMS service. The property will continue to receive water from Pinellas County . The proposed annexation will not have an adverse effect on public facilities and their levels of service; and ·The proposed annexation is consistent with and promotes 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 Page 1 City of Clearwater Printed on 4/16/2015 File Number: ANX2015-02003 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 and Preservation (P) categories are consistent with the current Countywide Plan designations of the property. The Residential Low (RL) designation primarily permits residential uses at a density of 5 units per acre. The Preservation (P) category recognizes the watershed and drainage features on the property, which is connected to the conservation area south of the subject property. The proposed zoning districts to be assigned to the property are the Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR) and Preservation (P) Districts. The use of the subject property is consistent with the uses allowed in the Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR) District and the property exceeds the District’s minimum dimensional requirements. The proposed annexation is therefore consistent with the Countywide Plan and the City ’s Comprehensive Plan and Community Development Code; and The property proposed for annexation is contiguous to existing City boundaries along the west and south; therefore, the annexation is consistent with Florida Statutes Chapter 171.044.

(ANX2015-02004) SUMMARY: This voluntary annexation petition involves one parcel of land totaling 0.228 acres. The parcel is occupied by a single -family dwelling and is located on the northeast corner of Owen Drive and SR 590. The applicant is requesting annexation in order to receive solid waste and sanitary sewer service from the City. The property is contiguous to existing City boundaries along the south and east. It is proposed that the property be assigned Future Land Use Map designations of Residential Low (RL) and Preservation (P)/Drainage Feature Overlay and the zoning categories of Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR) and Preservation (P). The Planning and Development Department determined that the proposed annexation is consistent with the provisions of Clearwater Community Development Code Section 4-604.E as follows: ·The property currently receives water service from Pinellas County. Collection of solid waste will be provided to the property by the City. The applicant has paid the sewer impact and assessment fees in full, and has been connected to the sanitary sewer system. The property is located within Police District III and service will be administered through the district headquarters located at 2851 McMullen Booth Road . Fire and emergency medical services will be provided to the property by Station 48 located at 1700 North Belcher Road. The City has adequate capacity to serve the property with sanitary sewer, solid waste, police, fire and EMS service. The property will continue to receive water service from Pinellas County. The proposed annexation will not have an adverse effect on public facilities and their levels of service; and ·The proposed annexation is consistent with and promotes 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 Page 1 City of Clearwater Printed on 4/16/2015 File Number: ANX2015-02004 Area. Policy A.7.2.3 Continue to process voluntary annexations for single -family residential properties upon request. ·The proposed Residential Low (RL), Preservation (P), and Drainage Feature Overlay Future Land Use Map categories are consistent with the current Countywide Plan designations of the property. The Residential Low (RL) designation primarily permits residential uses at a density of 5 units per acre. The Preservation (P) and Drainage Feature overlay categories recognize the watershed and drainage features on the property. The proposed zoning districts to be assigned to the property are the Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR) and Preservation (P) Districts. The use of the subject property is consistent with the uses allowed in the Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR) District and the property exceeds the District ’s minimum dimensional requirements. The proposed annexation is therefore consistent with the Countywide Plan and the City’s Comprehensive Plan and Community Development Code; and ·The property proposed for annexation is contiguous to existing City boundaries along the south and east; therefore, the annexation is consistent with Florida Statutes Chapter 171.044.

(ANX2015-02005) SUMMARY: This voluntary annexation petition involves six parcels of land totaling 0.887 acres. All parcels are occupied by single -family dwellings. The six lots are located south of Union Street, east of Douglas Avenue, north of Sunset Point Road (SR 576) and west of Kings Highway. The applicants are requesting annexation in order to receive solid waste service from the City, and will connect to city sewer as part of the City ’s Idlewild/The Mall Septic-to-Sewer Project. The properties are contiguous to existing city boundaries along at least one property boundary. It is proposed that the properties be assigned a Future Land Use Map designation of Residential Urban (RU) and a zoning category of Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR). The Planning and Development Department determined that the proposed annexations are consistent with the provisions of Clearwater Community 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. Four of the applicants have paid the required sewer impact fee in full and are currently awaiting connection to the City sewer system. The other two have not made any payments but they are aware that the impact fee must be paid prior to connection and of 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 these properties by Station 51 located at 1720 Overbrook Avenue. The City has adequate capacity to serve these 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 Page 1 City of Clearwater Printed on 4/16/2015 File Number: ANX2015-02005 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 Urban (RU) Future Land Use Map category is consistent with the current Countywide Plan designation of these properties . This designation primarily permits residential uses at a density of 7.5 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 is 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 limits along at least one property boundary; therefore, the annexation is consistent with Florida Statutes Chapter 171.044.

Any actions that have the potential to affect the cost of housing are addressed as part of this process. Any determinations made by the Economic Development and Housing Department and the affected Department will be included as part of the agenda summary to the City Council on that particular item. The City Council agenda summary and all supporting materials are available on the City’s website at www.myclearwater.com. C. Name of the Strategy: The allowance of flexibility densities for affordable housing. The City encourages flexible densities for affordable housing development in both the Future Land Use Element and the Housing Element of the City’s Comprehensive Plan. Provide a description of the procedures used to implement this strategy. “Policy A.2.2.7 – The City will provide density bonuses for affordable housing developments that demonstrate that a minimum of 15% of the total units are reserved as affordable housing units. Such bonuses shall not exceed 50% of the density permitted by the Future Land Use Map and shall not include properties located in the Coastal Storm Area. The density bonus shall be established by ordinance in the Community Development Code”. The City grants flexibility in densities to developers through the City’s Community Development Code, which establishes flexibility criteria for specific uses requiring additional development review. D. Name of the Strategy: The reduction of parking setback requirements for affordable housing The City encourages the reduction of parking and setback requirements for affordable housing in the Housing Element of the City’s Comprehensive Plan. Provide a description of the procedures used to implement this strategy The following policy in the Housing Element supports the reduction of parking and setback requirements for affordable housing. “Policy C.1.9.2 – Allow flexibility with regard to off-street parking to accommodate density bonuses associated with affordable housing developments provided the project design does not detract from the established or emerging character of immediate vicinity.” “Policy C.1.9.3 – Allow flexibility with regard to off-street parking for projects containing affordable housing units located within 1,000 feet of a transit stop.” 23 SHIP LHAP Template 2015 Revised Date: 10/2014 The City currently allows flexibility in parking and setback requirements for affordable housing though the City’s Community Development Code, which establishes flexibility criteria for specific uses requiring additional development review. E. Name of the Strategy: The allowance of flexible lot configurations, including zero-lot- line configuration for affordable housing The City currently allows for site plan flexibility through the development review process, as supported by the City’s Community Development Code and article 2, which establishes flexibility criteria for specific uses requiring additional development review. Such criteria may allow for more flexible site plan configurations, but may also require an improved site plan to document how the flexibility will result in better design and /or appearance. For example, the flexibility criteria tied to residential infill projects within the High Density Residential (HDR”) District include: Provide a description of the procedures use to implement is strategy The City currently allows for site plan flexibility through the development review process, as supported by the City’s Community Development Code and Article 2. Zoning Districts therein, which establishes flexibility criteria for specific uses. Such criteria may allow for more flexible site plan configurations, but may also require an improved site plan to document how the flexibility will result in better design and/or appearance. The allowance of flexible site plan configurations, including zero-lot line configurations for affordable housing, must be sensitive to the character and context of existing neighborhoods. To this end, the City’s incentives for affordable housing include compatibility criteria in conjunction with the density bonus as follows: Article 3, Division 9, Section 3-920.A.3.c.i. Compatibility Criteria - b. Proportionality and scale of the proposed development shall be consistent with the community character of the immediate vicinity of the parcel proposed for development. c. The overall aesthetics of the proposed development shall be compatible with or an improvement to the community character as determined by the community development coordinator. F. Name of the Strategy: The preparation of a printed inventory of locally-owned public lands suitable for affordable housing.

Provide a description of the procedures use to implement is strategy: 24 SHIP LHAP Template 2015 Revised Date: 10/2014 The City of Clearwater on February 21, 2008 adopted Resolution 08-01, which established the affordable housing inventory list per statutory requirements. To facilitate affordable housing projects, the City maintains an inventory of publicly-owned land suitable for affordable housing titled, “Affordable Housing Inventory List”, which is published on the City’s website. The last triennial update was done in 2013, by City Resolution #13-10 (June 6, 2013). Additionally, the City’s Economic Development & Housing Department has a procedure in place to make publicly-owned land available to prospective developers and non-profit agencies to construct affordable housing. G. Name of Strategy: The support of development near transportation hubs, and major employment centers and mixed-used developments. The City promotes areas suitable for affordable housing through the Future Land Use Element (FLUE) of the Comprehensive Plan. The FLUE contains a number of policies related to activity centers and transit hubs as part of the City’s overall design structure. Provide a description of the procedures use to implement is strategy: Policy A.2.2.2 – Residential land uses shall be sited on well-drained soils, in proximity to parks, schools, mass transit and other neighborhood-serving land uses. Policy A.5.4.4 –The creation of affordable housing and mixed-use development should be supported, and lot consolidation and streetscape improvements should be encouraged. [Activity Center] Policy A.5.4.7 – South Fort Harrison Avenue from A Street to E Street. Amendments to the Future Land Use Plan and Zoning Atlas may be considered to promote affordable housing, mixed-use development, and to support the emerging character of the area and Morton Plant Hospital. [Activity Center] Policy A.6.8.7 – Create mixed-use, high density, livable communities through design, layout and use of walkability techniques within existing and proposed transit corridors, including proposed TBARTA lines and stations. The Housing Element of the Comprehensive Plan also supports the location of assisted housing near major activity centers: Policy C.1.4.2 – Assisted housing should be located in close proximity to 25 SHIP LHAP Template 2015 Revised Date: 10/2014 employment centers, mass transit services, parks, and commercial centers. Additionally, both the City’s Comprehensive Plan and Community Development Code allow flexibility in parking for affordable housing projects if located near a transit stop (see Housing Element Policy C.1.9.2 and Policy C.1.9.3 as well as Community Development Code Article 3, Division 9, Section 3-920.B. for the City’s “affordable housing parking incentive”).
