Page 5 City of Clearwater Draft
City Council Meeting Minutes April 16, 2015
(ANX2015-02003)
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 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 Page 6 City of Clearwater Draft
City Council Meeting Minutes April 16, 2015 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.
Councilmember Hock-DiPolito moved to approve the annexation,
initial Future Land Use Map designations of Residential Low (RL)
and Preservation (P) and initial Zoning Atlas designations of Low
Medium Density Residential (LMDR) and Preservation (P) Districts
for 2127 Pleasant Parkway. The motion was duly seconded and
carried unanimously.

Districts for 1701 Owen Drive and pass Ordinances 8696-15, 8697-15 and 8698-15 on
first reading. (ANX2015-02004)
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 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
Page 8 City of Clearwater Draft
City Council Meeting Minutes April 16, 2015
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.
Councilmember Hock-DiPolito moved to approve the annexation,
initial Future Land Use Map designations of Residential Low (RL)
and Preservation (P)/Drainage Feature Overlay and initial Zoning
Atlas designations of Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR) and

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

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.

9.1 Approve the City of Clearwater’s State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Program
Local Housing Assistance Plan covering Fiscal Years 2015-2018, authorize the
appropriate officials to execute same, and adopt Resolution 15-05.
Florida statute 420.9079 requires counties and cities receiving State Housing
Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Program funds to develop a 3-year Local
Housing Assistance Plan (LHAP) outlining strategies for how the funds will be
utilized.
The City receives its allocation from the State of Florida through Florida
Housing Finance Corporation (FHFC). For fiscal year 2014-2015, the City
received $499,545 in SHIP funds. The City expects to receive $128,960 in
program income. The City expends SHIP funds per the strategies outlined in
the LHAP. Our current LHAP covers state fiscal years 2012-2015.
This new LHAP will cover state fiscal years 2015-2018. The strategies outlined
in the new LHAP are a continuation of our current LHAP. All changes made
within the 2015-2018 LHAP will be retroactive to the 2012-2015 LHAP to be
able to use prior year funds if available. The strategies Include:
• Acquisition of Existing Homes with Rehabilitation: This program
provides funds to community-based non-profits to acquire rehabilitate
and resell single- family housing units. The community land trusts
principles may be utilized.
• Down Payment and Closing Costs Assistance With or Without
Rehabilitation: The City will use SHIP funds to provide down payment
and closing costs assistance to eligible homebuyers purchasing new or
existing homes.
• Owner-occupied Rehabilitation: The City will provide funds for the
rehabilitation of owner-occupied single-family residences.
• Multi-Family Housing: The City will provide SHIP funds to support the
acquisition, rehabilitation and new construction of rental housing.
• New Construction Program: This program provides funds to eligible
developers and sub-recipients for the development of new housing
units.
• Disaster Mitigation: In the case of natural or man-made disasters, this
strategy will utilize SHIP funding for emergency or interim repairs.
Per Florida Statute, the City Council is being asked to adopt by resolution the
LHAP for state fiscal years 2015-2018. The LHAP is due to the State on May

9.2 Accept the transfer of title to three parcels that have escheated to Pinellas County in
accordance with Section 197.592(3), Florida Statutes, authorize the appropriate
officials to execute same and adopt Resolution 15-08.
Tax deeds were recently issued to Pinellas County for properties located at
1408 Monroe Avenue, 1112 Palm Bluff Street and 404 Blanche B. Littlejohn
Trail. These properties have escheated to the County for non-payment of
taxes. Per Florida Statutes, such tax deeds are issued when three years have
passed from the day a parcel of land was offered for public sale and placed on
the list of “lands available for taxes” without having been purchased.
Florida Statutes require that land acquired by any county of the state for
delinquent taxes which have not been previously sold, acquired for infill
housing, or dedicated by the board of county commissioners, and which are
located within the boundaries of an incorporated municipality of the county
shall be conveyed to the municipality in which the land is located. Such lands
conveyed to the municipality shall be freely alienable to the municipality without
regard to third parties. Liens of record held by the county on such parcels
conveyed to a municipality shall not survive the conveyance of the property to
the municipality.
In response to a question, Engineering Assistant Director Scott Rice said the
parcels are vacant and would be placed on the list for affordable housing.
Councilmember Hamilton moved to accept the transfer of title to
three parcels that have escheated to Pinellas County in accordance
with Section 197.592(3), Florida Statutes, authorize the appropriate
officials to execute same. The motion was duly seconded and

a discussion or review of comments and suggestions made at the meeting
should take place at a future Worksession.
Councilmember Hock-DiPolito said she hopes more people will attend the
next Urban Land Institute joint meeting. In response to a resident who spoke

the Architects Harvard Jolly, have worked diligently to create a facility that will serve the
long-term needs of the citizens of Clearwater within the budget provided.
With the assistance of the Clearwater Library Foundation, which presented a check for
$100,000 to the Council at the March 19, 2015 City Council meeting, staff is within $25,000 of
having the funds needed to provide everything essential to open the new library. Staff believes
this will be a facility the City and the Countryside Community will welcome with pride.
This request is to increase the project budget by $125,000, to include $100,000 from the
Clearwater Library Foundation donation and $25,000 from General Funds reserves, and

the furniture, fixtures and equipment for the new building, including all of the shelving for
books and other materials, furniture for the public area as well as office furniture for staff
areas. Staff has worked for the past year to select the appropriate furniture at the best value.
Source Interiors is a State Contract vendor, (Florida State Contract 420-420-10-1, effective
date March 1, 2015) which works well for us since we are purchasing furniture and fixtures
from several different manufacturers. Clearwater City Code 2.564, Exceptions to Bid
Procedure, (1) (d), allows utilization of other Government Entity's bid.
APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT:

Fund revenue to fund this contract.

Page 1 City of Clearwater Printed on 5/6/2015

Library Renovation. A net total of $2,369,615 of General Fund reserves has been used to
date to fund expenditures in the 2014/15 operating budget. The remaining balance in General
Fund reserves is approximately $21.4 million, or 18.3 % of the current General Fund operating

Agenda Number: 7.3
SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Award a contract (purchase order) to Bibliotheca, LLC for $178,987, in accordance with Sec.
2.564(1)(d), Code of Ordinances - Other Governmental bids, for hardware and software to
implement phase two of an RFID system to improve security and efficiency in library branch
operations and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
SUMMARY:
The Library Technology project was funded in fiscal year 2012/13 to add RFID (Radio
Frequency Identification) technology to all libraries to help improve the effectiveness and
efficiency of library staff. During the previous recession times, library staff was cut back to
reduce costs, with the expectation that this technology would help the smaller staff accomplish
a workload that has not greatly decreased.
Staff has been implementing this technology in phases. All library materials have been
tagged, new security gates have been installed in all library locations, the self checkout
machines have been updated to utilize RFID and sorting machines have been installed at the
Main Library. This phase of this project is to install the sorting machines in the new
Countryside Library and update the outdated equipment at several branches. The final phase
remaining is the East Branch when it opens in a new facility at some point in the future.
Sec. 2.564(1)(d) utilizes a contract awarded by the City of Largo on February 13, 2013 and

According to the Marin Independent Journal, our partnership with the Golden Gate Bridge, Highway,
and Transportation District “is expected to generate $400,000 a year.”2 All revenue generated by the
Bridge District is directly attributable to Parkmobile operations because our payment solutions are the
only way to purchase daily or monthly permits on all lots.
Equally impressive is the fact that over 1.75 million North American customers have chosen to register
and park with our service, selecting over 90% of the time to download and utilize one of our award-
winning mobile apps.
Parkmobile’s most successful municipal partnership is with the District of Columbia where we have an
active integration with Xerox. In the District, Parkmobile payments currently represent 54% of all meter
payments. Xerox manages the parking meters and their enforcement software, PocketPEO® interfaces
directly with Parkmobile through handhelds. PocketPEO®, Xerox’s patented software for handheld
ticket issuance computers provides fast, intuitive ticket issuance and printing, tracking of officer
activities, “hotlist” lookup, permit lookup, and a suite of reports for monitoring officers’ performance.
Soon, the District will be deploying Xerox’s Merge® solution as well, increasing parking program
efficiencies by integrating all aspects of parking management and control tools, including Parkmobile,
into a single, centralized management service. Parkmobile and Xerox will work together to promote
“asset – lite” solutions in the District to even further reduce costs. All of these asset – lite solutions
would also be available to the City of Clearwater to introduce in your mobile payment program as
well.
Parkmobile provides a superior customer experience and through technology that is intuitive and easy
to use. Parkmobile provides proactive customer service that will commence well before operations

How the Parkmobile Mobile Payment System Works
Start and extend your parking transaction in just seconds from your driver seat.
Park
Pull into a space. Just look for our green Parkmobile sign or on the meter.
Phone
Use our mobile app or give us a call to activate your parking session and key in the parking zone
number.
Go
We’ll send an alert (push notification, email or TXT message) 15 minutes prior to the expiration
of your parking session.
Customers supply their debit/credit card information to Parkmobile only once when initially enrolling
to use the system. This information is then stored in a securely encrypted PCI DSS Level 1 compliant
and certified Service Provider environment.
Parkmobile can use any merchant account (MID) for
mobile payments and pass real time authorized
debit/credit card transactions immediately to this
dedicated account. Transactions are then processed
by the payment processing engine and funded to the
bank account. Parkmobile invoices the merchant
account holder monthly to seek reimbursement for
its transaction fee assessed on each Parkmobile
transaction paid by the motorist. Parkmobile does
not bear the cost of any association, network or gateway fees for payments.
Parkmobile’s mobile payment solutions serve daily parking needs for on street and off street parking
spaces. With Parkmobile’s extremely flexible operating platform, a variety of rate structures can be
supported for a particular day or time on individual meters or for your entire system.
Sustainability
Parkmobile is committed to environmental and social well-being sustainability. As a cloud based mobile
payment company our products do not leave any harmful environmental footprints and would
enhance the quality of life of City of Clearwater residents and visitors by providing them with more
options to access public parking. All of Parkmobile’s mobile payment solutions promote mobility and
accessibility and we strive to recognize different economic realities by providing mobile payment
solutions for the unbanked such as PayPal, Visa Checkout as well as our Virtual Wallet programming.
Parkmobile is ready and willing to participate in any ongoing sustainability programming the City of
Clearwater has in place.
Parkmobile and PayPal: A Strategic Partnership
Parkmobile has partnered with PayPal to deliver a seamless approach for utilizing a PayPal membership
account to fund payment of parking transactions. Within the Parkmobile system, each customer now
has the ability to link their PayPal account to their Parkmobile membership.
Tab 2: Parkmobile Experience and Qualifications
Tab 2: Page 6 of 16
According to Randall Davies, PayPal’s Head of Global Business Development:
"At PayPal, we look to forge relationships with innovative companies that are bringing services to
consumers to make their everyday lives easier,…Parkmobile's mobile parking solutions do just that,
and now Parkmobile members will be able to pay with PayPal, making it even easier, more secure and
faster to pay for parking."3
Since PayPal supports the ability for customers to fund the loading of their account via their bank
account or direct cash payment, customers can now go to their bank website and transfer cash directly
into their PayPal account to use Parkmobile’s service with their phone. “Cash Preferred” customers
can also use Parkmobile by loading cash onto their PayPal account similar to the way consumers buy
prepaid phone cards. It is noteworthy that over 20% of all parking transactions initiated within the
first several months of operations in Miami Beach were paid by customers through PayPal.
Parkmobile Virtual Wallet: A Stored Value Parking Solution
Parkmobile also offers customers the ability to participate in our exclusive “Mobile Wallet” program.
The Wallet payment method allows a customer to create an account in which a specific dollar amount
of money will be stored for future payment of their parking transactions. By selecting the Wallet
option during registration, or opting-in at a later date, the customer is entitling Parkmobile to charge
their credit card(s) for a specific dollar amount they have elected.
Mobile Wallet funds are held in an account and
with each transaction the money is depleted
from that account. Customers are not
responsible for tracking the outgoing payments
to determine if they need to replenish their
account (like a pre-paid card) as the Parkmobile
system automatically replenishes the account
once an account has decreased enough to cross
a threshold value such as $5.00.
The reload amount charged to the credit card is
always equal to the amount selected by the customer when they initially selected the Wallet payment
method.
Parkmobile has built its payment platform in such a manner as to accept the addition of future
innovative payment methods that have and will continue to hit the mobile market in the coming years
(i.e., Google’s Wallet, MasterCard’s globalVCard, the ISIS Wallet, Visa’s V.me, etc.). By partnering
with Parkmobile, these emerging payment solutions can be accepted by the City of Clearwater without
the need for new equipment or redesign.
Moreover, Parkmobile can make the acceptance of these payment methods seamless to you
administratively, eliminating the reconciliation challenges caused by multiple settlement streams to
your bank account.

Parkmobile Validation and Discount Solutions
Parkmobile has the capability to provide merchants and other 3rd parties with unique validation and/or
promotional codes designed in such a manner that they can be used in the place of scratch-off hang tags
or other physical validation
programs. Through this
feature, Parkmobile can
generate a code(s) that can be
configured for a variety of free
or discounted parking options
within several unique
parameters involving the area
and duration of use. The
promo codes and validations
then can be given by
merchants or property owners
to their visitors to insert into
their smart phone for free or
discounted parking via a QR
Code.
This program is currently
being used by one of our
private sector partners in the Buckhead section of Atlanta. In Miami Beach, Parkmobile spent the first
week of our launch demonstrating the functionality of our validation program to the local merchant
community, including the Chamber of Commerce, real estate developers, hoteliers, and restaurant
owners. The City of St. Louis identified our validation programming as a key factor in choosing
Parkmobile over another mobile payment vendor and above are examples of how we are currently
publicizing our validation programming in St. Louis.
Payment Collection Management: Parkmobile is PCI DSS Level 1 Certified and Compliant Service Provider
Parkmobile is a certified PCI DSS Level 1 Service Provider that processes, stores, and transmits
cardholder data on behalf of clients, merchants, or other service providers. Presently, Parkmobile is
PCI DSS v2 and we have begun our 2013 PCI DSS Level 1 audit process and once the audit is concluded
we will be the only mobile payment provider with PCI DSS Level 1 certified v3 designation.
As the industry leader, Parkmobile demonstrates its commitment to protecting customer credit card
transaction data as well as personally identifiable information (PII) through our adherence to stringent
Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) certification requirements.
PII is information that can be used to uniquely identify, contact, or locate a single individual. Relevant
examples of PII information include:4
Credit card numbers
Vehicle license plates
Email addresses
4 See OMB Memorandum M-07-1616: PII refers to information that can be used to distinguish or trace an individual’s identity, either
alone or when combined with other personal or identifying information that is linked or linkable to a specific individual.
Tab 2: Parkmobile Experience and Qualifications
Tab 2: Page 8 of 16
Exhibits A and B demonstrate that the highest standard service providers can obtain is Level 1.
Parkmobile satisfies all of the requirements for PCI DSS Level 1 Service Provider compliance and is up to
date with all TPA assessments and audits. Our latest evaluation was performed by Habif, Arogeti and
Wynne, LLP, an independent QSA. Parkmobile maintains independent quarterly system penetration
tests which ensure our credit card data procedures are in conformity with all PCI security standards.
Exhibit A: PCI DSS Level 1 Service Provider Compliance Requirements
In addition to adhering to the PCI DSS compliance requirements, validation is required for all certified
Service Provider TPAs as follows:
Exhibit B: PCI DSS Validation Requirements
Level Validation Action Validation By
1 Annual on-site PCI Data Security Assessment
Quarterly Network Scan

A mobile payment provider that has not attained PCI DSS Level 1 service provider certification or
compliance places the public parking patrons of Clearwater at risk of not having confidential credit
card data adequately secured. Level 1 Service Provider compliance is what the residents and patrons of
Clearwater’s public parking operations deserve; not lower level self-assessments of “compliance” that
contain no certifications against vulnerabilities for card data and PII breaches. Any lack of appropriate
credit card transaction and PII oversight could lead to damage to the reputation as well as the financial
well-being of the City of Clearwater.
If the mobile payment provider hired on behalf of the City is not a PCI Level 1 Service Provider, how
can you be sure there are appropriate controls over Clearwater’s mobile payment credit card and PII
data in place? These standards are important and the City should be wary of any mobile payment
provider that cannot protect your patron’s privacy by already adhering to these high service provider
standards.
Some mobile payment providers attempt to provide low cost solutions to municipalities by using third
party payment gateway companies to attain PCI DSS compliance. While a mobile payment provider can
be compliant with PCI DSS requirements; a Level 1 Service Provider certification can only be granted
through the on – site security assessment, quarterly network scan and a validation process led by a
Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) recognized by the PCI Security Standards Council.
Service Provider Level Description
1 TPA that stores, processes and/or transmits over 300,000 transactions per
year
2 TPA that stores, processes and/or transmits fewer than 300,000 Visa
transactions per year
Tab 2: Parkmobile Experience and Qualifications
Tab 2: Page 9 of 16
As a Level 1 Service Provider Parkmobile is registered on the Visa and MasterCard PCI DSS Global
Registries of Service Providers and undergoes an audit by an independent QSA annually. Parkmobile
meets or exceeds all PCI Level 1 security standards outlined in the latest version published by the PCI
Security Standards Council as well as the PCI DSS Level 1 certification and compliance requirements.
Any mobile payment provider can purchase a hosted page from a third party payment gateway
company. The third party payment gateway company allows a mobile payment company that is not a
PCI Level 1 certified or compliant Service Provider to provide a ‘token’ to each public parking patron
that pays with a credit, debit or cash card. If the mobile payment provider that is hired on behalf of the
City does not actually maintain the sensitive credit card data for mobile payment patrons and if the third
party gateway company’s encryption protocols are breached, then the City of Clearwater’s data is at
severe risk.
The City of Clearwater takes the integrity of its residents and municipal parking patron’s credit card and
PII data very seriously. If there is fear or a breach of security protocols the entire mobile payment
system for the City would be undermined and Clearwater stands to lose significant revenue over the
lifetime of the contract. Using a mobile payment provider that does not satisfy PCI DSS Level 1 service
provider certification or compliance jeopardizes your public parking operations and profitability.
Parkmobile processes all major credit cards and can accommodate serving as Clearwater’s merchant
of record (MOR) for credit card processing we perform on behalf of the City. As MOR, Parkmobile can
remit Accounts Receivable payments and perform settlements on any timeline required by the City of
Clearwater.

operations in Houston, Texas, the fourth largest city in the United States with over 2 million residents
and 9,000 metered spaces.
Parkmobile understands the importance of a strong marketing and public awareness campaign to
demonstrate to the City of Clearwater’s customers that we value their patronage. As a continuous
learning and improvement organization, Parkmobile leverages the experience gained in each
partnership to help drive success in future efforts. In anticipation of this rollout Parkmobile would
complete the following Customer Service marketing plan items:
Purchase on-street signage and meter stickers for each metered block in the City of Clearwater
Collaborate with the City on a targeted Public Service
Announcement (PSA) campaign to inform the
community of the availability of a new provider for
mobile payment of parking
Develop flyers and / or Wallet Cards for distribution
around Arizona, including coordination with Chambers
of Commerce, Business Improvement Districts, etc.
Engage social media campaign through Facebook and
Twitter
Parkmobile would also develop a City of Clearwater specific
registration link on our Parkmobile website to assist customers
in understanding and using our mobile payment solutions.
Parkmobile will leverage its industry leading position to drive
increased system usage and maximize adoption of mobile
payments throughout the City of Clearwater.

Parkmobile Offers the City of Clearwater a Scalable Program Design
Parkmobile can incorporate any zoning system for parking meters the City of Clearwater needs for its
existing operations. For example, in Tampa and Atlanta we deploy a pay by space system where each
space is assigned its own number. While in Washington DC and Houston each block face is assigned a
zone number.
Parkmobile Process for Publishing Mobile Payment App to App Stores
Parkmobile offers Clearwater a locally branded
mobile app with information designed for the
City’s patrons. Parkmobile uses an in-house
development team to create and fully test our
applications. We have had over 1.2 million
downloads of our apps across four native
platforms, iOS, Android, BlackBerry, Windows
7/8. The method of publishing an application
varies by device type.
Updates to our applications are published approximately three times per year with major releases
occurring about every year and a half. Releases include adaptation to new features offered on the
various operating platforms and enhancements generated internally or through collaboration with our
users and partners.
The process up until submittal follows an iterative design, build, test process which includes alpha and
beta releases in our QA, staging and production environments. Parkmobile utilizes a beta test group
made up of internal and external users to fully vet each release. For iOS releases the application is
submitted to Apple for approval – this process usually takes one to two weeks – during which time
they review the application against standards set by Apple.
Once approved for release the new versions are pushed to the various app stores for release. User
preference determines whether the application is automatically loaded or if the new version has to be
manually added by the customer. For Android releases Parkmobile can release the application as soon
as it has passed internal testing.

Parkmobile is designing skinned apps for municipalities, universities as well as for our new connected
vehicle program with companies such as Ford Motor Company and the BMW Group. Locally branded
skinned apps offer our mobile payment partners the ability to differentiate their program while
enjoying all the functional benefits of working with Parkmobile.
These benefits include 24/7/365 Customer Support, apps available on all operating systems, electronic
reservation and permitting services, the ability to allow your patrons to use emerging payment methods
such as PayPal, Visa Checkout and the Parkmobile Wallet. Furthermore, Parkmobile provides all of these
functional advantages in a PCI DSS Level 1 certified and compliant Service Provider environment.
Parkmobile partners have the ability to incorporate their own logo as well as color scheme to our
default app settings and create a unique mobile experience for their patrons.
Parkmobile’s default app colors are green and white; however,
we can modify mobile app colors and content based on partner’s
preferences. When Parkmobile customizes an app for a partner
the new logo appears on mobile devices when new customers
sign up for our services free of charge.
For example, we created a sample San Francisco Municipal
Transportation Agency (SFMTA) app using their existing logo. The
iPhone screenshots above show the standard Parkmobile icon as
well as the locally branded SFMTA skinned app. Along with a
skinned app Parkmobile can also offer locally oriented banner
messages that run on your app while patrons are using the
system. In the District of Columbia Parkmobile provides an
annual banner message every October for a university hospital
partner that provides free mammogram screenings for Breast
Cancer Awareness Month activities.

Parkmobile Reporting Portal Capabilities
Parkmobile provides all partners with an online reporting portal that is accessible twenty four hours a
day through secure credentials provided to designated personnel. The reporting portal provides
comprehensive operations data including payment method (i.e., credit/debit cards, PayPal, Visa
Checkout, etc.), card type, time and length of parking session as well as location where the vehicle
parked. The Parkmobile Reporting Portal is scalable to individual municipal needs including specific
ranges from by the minute, daily, quarterly reports and all data is downloadable to Excel. Parkmobile
can also address any ad-hoc reporting needs desired by the City of Clearwater.
Contract Compliance: Parkmobile’s Cloud Based Solutions Mitigates System Failures
Parkmobile’s system is a cloud based solution and we are responsible for the management and
maintenance of the system. Parkmobile mitigates any potential system failures through our hosted
solution that is a tier 1 world class partnership with QTS. Our redundant cloud hosting network
provides for a 99.9% service level uptime guarantee.
All customer service operations are done either in our offices
in Atlanta or in a backup facility in Florida providing our
municipal partners with full coverage twenty four hours a
day. No other provider delivers this level of service reliability.
Software enhancements are scheduled outside of parking
hours and are provided as part of annual maintenance and include:
Scheduled Network Infrastructure Maintenance: maintenance for the Network Infrastructure is
scheduled on the first Sunday of every third month of the calendar year - 3am to 6am ET.
Scheduled Managed OS Maintenance: Syslog OS, Patch Management, Systems Management OS,
Antivirus OS – Quarterly, 3rd Tuesday of the month 2AM – 6AM ET; Syslog Application, Patch
Management Application, System Management Application, Antivirus Application – Quarterly,
4th Thursday of month 2AM - 6 AM ET
Parkmobile Software Development Release Cycle: Parkmobile releases enhanced versions of
its software approximately one time per month. Releases are done on Friday evening/
Saturday morning outside of paid parking hours and are non-service affecting.
Once system upgrades are complete the app will be upgraded automatically with no requirement for
action on our municipal partner’s behalf. Any enhancement specific to our partners will begin with a
scope of work and detailed delivery schedule. All attributes will be tested by Parkmobile’s QA
department prior to being placed into production.
Parkmobile utilizes a detailed test plan process that includes unit testing (developer testing), written
quality assurance plan (QA testing), regression testing (QA testing) and post release testing. Parkmobile
would offer the City of Clearwater the opportunity to participate in direct pre-release beta testing.
Payment Processing & Integration: Parkmobile is Integrated with All Major Credit Card Processors
Parkmobile has integrated directly with all major payment processors and holds certifications as a
gateway Service Provider. This allows Parkmobile the ability to eliminate the need for gateway
service fees, commonly included in the scope of payment processing fees. Parkmobile only pays

merchant services (the service provider who holds the contractual relationship with the payment
processor).
TAB 3: Parkmobile Project Approach and Methodology
Tab 3: Page 4 of 9
Parkmobile has the ability to offer the City of Clearwater a methodology that will allow for the
settlement of meter fees to be deposited into the city’s designated bank account(s) on a daily basis, if
needed. This daily settlement functionality is currently in effect with other Parkmobile partners and
differentiates Parkmobile from others relative to the timeframe in which funds can be transferred to
our municipal partners.
Parkmobile can use any merchant account (MID) for mobile payments and pass real time authorized
debit/credit card transactions immediately to this dedicated account. Parkmobile is also integrated
with space sensor and inventory vendors Streetline, ParkMe and Parkopedia. In Miami Beach ParkMe
is part of our deployment and our back office systems are integrated.
Transactions are processed by the payment processing engine and funded to the bank account.
Parkmobile invoices the merchant account holder monthly to seek reimbursement for its transaction fee
assessed on each Parkmobile transaction paid by the motorists. With Parkmobile’s extremely flexible
operating platform, a variety of rate structures can be supported for a particular day.
Reporting and Record Keeping: Managing your Parkmobile Account - Summary
Parkmobile’s members can view their account profile via app or the Internet. They access the web site
via a username and password and enter their protected (SSL 256 ‘Padlock’ encrypted) account 24/7.
Members are able to view their current user profile and add or change data. They are also provided real
time parking information via the parking history and a monthly statement of all parking transactions in
PDF format. Credit card details can be changed in a PCI DSS Level 1 certified Service Provider process.
Parking data history can be exported, with several query options, to Excel or CSV and reused for
multiple purposes. Parkmobile also offers customers the option to start a parking transaction online.
Another alternative for managing an account would be through the mobile app. Settings functionality is
available for each app, providing the member the ability to make real-time changes to his/her account
(payment info –and method, vehicle license plate additions/deletions, favorite zones or cars, account
profile, parking overview, etc.).

Parkmobile Reporting Portal Capabilities
Parkmobile provides all partners with an online reporting portal that is accessible twenty four hours a
day through secure credentials provided to designated personnel. The reporting portal provides
comprehensive operations data including payment method (i.e., credit/debit cards, PayPal, Visa
Checkout, etc.), card type, time and length of parking session as well as location where the vehicle
parked. The Parkmobile Reporting Portal is scalable to individual municipal needs including specific
ranges from by the minute to daily reports and all data is downloadable to Excel. Parkmobile can also
address any ad-hoc reporting needs desired by the City as well as develop Clearwater centric
presentation materials for distribution to stakeholders.
Parkmobile Innovations: Merchant Validation and Discount Parking Programming
Parkmobile has the capability to provide merchants and other 3rd parties with unique validation and/or
promotional codes designed in such a manner that they can be used in the place of scratch-off hang tags
or other physical validation programs. Through this feature, Parkmobile can generate a code(s) that
can be configured for a variety of free or discounted parking options within several unique parameters
involving the area and duration of use.
The promo codes and validations then can be given by merchants or property owners to their visitors to
insert into their smart phone for free or discounted parking via a QR Code. This program is currently
being used by one of our private sector partners in the Buckhead section of Atlanta and by the City of
Grosse Pointe during the holiday seasons last year.
In Miami Beach, Parkmobile spent the first week of our launch demonstrating the functionality of our
validation program to the local merchant community, including the Chamber of Commerce, real estate
developers, hoteliers, and restaurant owners. Parkmobile has a reporting API which provides a direct
connection to our data warehouse for automatically pulling reports. We also offer the option of auto
shipping daily reports to an FTP site.
Parkmobile Protects Against a ‘Target Type’ Security Breach
Parkmobile is a certified PCI DSS Level 1 Service
Provider that processes, stores, and transmits
cardholder data on behalf of clients, merchants, or
other service providers. Parkmobile carries a $2
million Cyber Security Insurance policy which offers
protection against a ‘Target Type’ security breach;
a guarantee no other vendor can offer.
Presently, Parkmobile is PCI DSS v2 and we have begun our 2013 PCI DSS Level 1 audit process and
once the audit is concluded we will be the only mobile payment provider with PCI DSS Level 1 certified
v3 designation.
Included with this Tab is a comprehensive Parkmobile Implementation Plan for the City of Clearwater.

Enforcement Management: Parkmobile Training for Designated Personnel
An integral part of our successful integrations is the training we provide, at no cost, to designated
personnel of our municipal partners. Training enforcement personnel is a critical component of any
successful rollout and before launching the mobile payment service Parkmobile will train enforcement
staff to use our mobile payment platform.
This training focuses on two key areas: reporting and enforcement. We repeatedly work on these focus
areas with enforcement staff up until the date of deployment.
Reporting: Parkmobile will ensure staff members are available to assist the enforcement staff
with follow up questions and reporting needs.
Enforcement: Parkmobile will work with enforcement officers so that they understand the steps
required in order to successfully input the motorist’s license plate or zone numbers.
Once the full implementation has successfully launched, Parkmobile will continue to monitor the project
to ensure that all facets of the operation work together in harmony. Parkmobile will follow up on critical
components daily (e.g. transaction settlements, enforcement effectiveness, and revenue reporting).
Parkmobile will also initiate a feedback forum with stakeholders to answer outstanding questions.
Insight for our Municipal Partners
Parkmobile strongly believes that proper data analysis has the potential to provide insights and solutions
for many of the problems facing municipalities
today. We work with a number of partners
such as Xerox, T2, Republic Parking Systems
and Duncan Solutions in translating raw
parking information into actionable policies
that can help alleviate parking congestion,
drive pricing decisions and improve
support/customer experience. Parkmobile can
act as a central repository of parking data or
offer a feed to the Cities choice for data aggregation.
From a reporting perspective Parkmobile supports our customers with a number of reporting options.
Our reporting portal provides a platform that serves a number of report templates focused on financial,
traffic/utilization and enforcement. Our nForce web service provides real-time parking information for
enforcement and adjudication purposes and our active integrations with platforms like PocketPEO
(Xerox) provide a seamless solution to on street enforcement of mobile paid parking.
Conclusion: Parkmobile is the Best Solution for the City of Clearwater
Parkmobile delivers cutting edge technology combined with a superior user experience with proven
benefits such as PCI DSS Level 1 certified Service Provider credit card security for all of the controls
around our operating processes.
Parkmobile has over 130 municipal partnerships throughout the United States, we are fully integrated
with all current meter, enforcement and credit card processing vendors and our technical expertise as
well as experience demonstrates our ability to assist the City of Clearwater in developing,

SCHEDULE 1
SERVICES
Parkmobile offers a service to Client’s parking customers (“End Users”) that facilitates the activation and
payment of parking transactions using mobile technology (“Mobile Parking”). For use of the Mobile
Parking service, an End User Fee per transaction as reflected in Schedule 3 is charged. Services shall be
provided in accordance with Parkmobile’s submission to RFP and attached hereto as Exhibit A.
Parkmobile accepts several electronic payment methods from customers:
a. Traditional credit card payments are accepted with Visa, MasterCard, Discover, &
AMEX (“Traditional Payments”)
b. Emerging Payments (“Emerging Payments”). Emerging payments represent the
numerous alternative payment methods that have begun to hit the marketplace today.
Mostly, these innovations involve the use of virtual account-based membership profiles
that a customer can utilize to transact purchases based upon the member’s individual
payment preferences. Examples of emerging payments include PayPal, Parkmobile’s
Stored Value Wallet, the Google Wallet, ACH, MasterCard’s globalVCard, the ISIS
Wallet, and Visa checkout.
End Users who are registered with Parkmobile can begin and, if applicable, end a parking transaction in a
variety of ways: visiting the website of Parkmobile - www.parkmobile.com; calling an Intelligent Voice
Response (IVR) 1-800 Number, or using Parkmobile’s mobile application. In order to register and begin
a parking event, End Users simply provide the required information to create an account including credit
card data and license plate number which is stored in a secure, PCI Level 1 compliant environment.
Thereafter, subsequent parking visits only require the End User to enter or select the applicable parking
duration options available for the location.
The tariff code of the parking area is indicated on parking signs or on parking meters. Enforcers of the
Client check the validity of parking status real time against the Parkmobile database via a web service
offering, free of charge to the Client, to determine if a valid parking right exists. This service can be
accessed by using a handheld terminal or PDA.
The supply of handheld terminals (or PDA’s) for enforcement and GSM cards for communication
between the handheld terminals and the database and back-office systems are outside the scope of the
Services.
End Users will receive parking alert services via SMS, mobile app push notification or email. The End
User will be notified, for example, when parked for an extended period of time or when the maximum
parking time nears expiration.
End Users can use Mobile Parking anywhere the Parkmobile mobile payment service is available.
All parking charges are automatically charged to the credit card of the End User. End Users have real
time access to an online account-based personal page accessible from www.parkmobile.com to check and
print their parking history, receipts, and statements.
[A04-00232 /165076/1]
SCHEDULE 2

(a)Parkmobile shall use its best efforts not to perform maintenance during business hours.
In emergency cases, adjustments to the system may also take place during hours for paid parking. If
necessary, Parkmobile may perform maintenance of the system during business hours, provided
Parkmobile provides Client with at least twenty-four (24) hours advance notice before the start of the

SCHEDULE 3
FEES
End User Fees per transaction shall be charged to End Users in accordance with Parkmobile’s submission to RFP
and attached hereto as Exhibit A (“End User Fee”).
Traditional Payment Credit Card Fees/Merchant Processing/Other Third Party Fees:
Parkmobile has been certified and can pass real time authorized debit/credit card transactions to the Client’s
current merchant services provider, Bank of America Merchant Services (BAMS), to fund all collections
directly into Client’s account. No gateway fees shall be required to be paid by Client as a result of this
integration with BAMS. Should Client elect to pursue an alternative Merchant Service Provider in the
future that has not certified Parkmobile, Parkmobile shall pass real time transactions via a gateway solution
at an additional cost of $.05 per authorized transaction. In either scenario, the Client acts as the merchant
of record (MOR) in the arrangement, covering all credit card processing costs. Parkmobile invoices the
Client monthly to seek reimbursement from the Client for its End User Fee assessed on each Mobile
Parking transaction.
Emerging Payments Fees
At a future date, during the Initial Term or a Renewal Term, Client may elect to offer Emerging Payments
by providing written notice to Parkmobile. Should Client elect to offer Emerging Payments the following
fees shall apply: Parkmobile shall collect parking revenues for each Emerging Payment transaction and
pass the Emerging Parking Revenue to the Client in accordance with Parkmobile’s standard settlement
procedures. Transaction processing fees for Emerging Payments only are $.15 plus 3% of the parking fee
(“Transaction Processing Fee”) for each Emerging Payment. No other merchant processing or gateway fee
will be charged to an Emerging Payment transaction by Client’s payment processor, BAMS. As used
herein, Emerging Revenue shall mean parking revenue generated by End Users less End User Fees charged
by Parkmobile, Transaction Processing Fees and other third party fees if applicable.
Other Terms and Conditions
Parkmobile’s End User Fee does not cover any merchant processing or other third party fees associated
with the acceptance of Traditional Payments or Emerging Payments.
If Client’s merchant service provider changes to a provider other than BAMS or a merchant service
provider that has not certified Parkmobile at any time during this Agreement, then Parkmobile reserves the
right to pass through increases in third party transaction processing and related fees.
The uses of mobile devices for enforcement as well as data plans are not part of this agreement.
Cost for initial standard signage shall be in accordance with Exhibit A.
The timeline and milestones for implementation to City shall be in accordance with Exhibit A.
Cost of marketing shall be in accordance with Exhibit A – Part 2.
Parkmobile reserves the right to increase End User Fees and additional service fees, only if written notice is
provided to Client sixty (60) days prior to the end of the initial term..
Other development activities and additional services (listed below) for a fee at the request of and after
written approval by Client as described below.

PREAMBLE
This Agreement is entered into between the City of Clearwater, Florida, hereinafter referred to
as the "City" and the Florida State Lodge of the Fraternal Order of Police, Clearwater Supervisors
bargaining unit, hereinafter referred to as the "Union." It is the intent and purpose of this Agreement
to assure sound and mutually beneficial working and economic relationships between the parties
hereto, to provide an orderly and peaceful means of resolving any misunderstandings or differences
which may arise, and to set forth herein the full agreements between the parties concerning rates of
pay, wages, hours of employment, and other terms and conditions of employment. It is understood
that the City is engaged in furnishing essential public services which vitally affect the health, safety,
comfort and general well being of the public and both parties hereto recognize the need for
continuous and reliable service to the public. There shall be no individual arrangement contrary to the
terms herein provided.

RECOGNITION AND GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 1.Recognition
The City hereby recognizes the Union as the exclusive bargaining representative as defined in
Chapter 447, Florida Statutes, as amended, for all employees employed in the unit defined by the
Public Employee Relations Commission in its certification No. 816, dated October 20, 1988, which
certification is limited to Police Sergeants and Police Lieutenants.
Section 2.Contract Constitutes Entire Agreement
The parties acknowledge and agree that during the negotiations which resulted in this
Agreement, each had the unlimited right and opportunity to make demands and proposals with respect
to any subject or matter included by law within the area of collective bargaining and that all the
understandings and agreements arrived at by the parties after the exercise of that right and opportunity
are set forth in this Agreement. Therefore, the City and the Union, for the life of this Agreement, each
voluntarily and unqualifiedly waives the right to require further collective bargaining, and each agrees
that the other shall not be obligated to bargain collectively with respect to any matter or subject not
specifically referred to or covered by this Agreement, whether or not such matters have been
discussed, even though such subjects or matters may not have been within the knowledge or
contemplation of either or both parties at the time they negotiated or signed this Agreement. This
Agreement contains the entire contract, understanding, undertaking and agreement of collective
bargaining for and during its term, except as may be otherwise specifically provided herein. However,
the parties agree that the City Employees Pension Plan may be separately negotiated at any time upon
the mutual agreement of both parties.
This Agreement may be amended at any time by the mutual consent of the parties, but no such
attempted amendment shall be of any force or effect until placed in writing and executed by each party
hereof.
Page 2
Section 3.Severability and Waiver
Each and every clause of this Agreement shall be deemed separable from each and every other
clause of this Agreement. In the event that any clause or clauses shall be finally determined to be in
violation of any law, such clause or clauses only shall be deemed of no force and effect and
unenforceable without impairing the validity and enforceability of the rest of the contract including any
and all provisions in the remainder of any clause, sentence or paragraph in which the offending
language may appear.
The exercise or the non-exercise of the rights covered by this Agreement by the City or its
employees or agents or the Union shall not be deemed to waive any such rights or the right to exercise
them in the future.

Any Police Department rule, regulation, policy or procedure in existence at the time of
adoption of this Agreement which is in conflict with any provision of this Agreement shall be resolved
by modification of such rule, regulation, policy or procedure to be compatible with this Agreement.
Employees shall be required to observe and comply with Department regulations governing
their employment as set forth in any Departmental procedures and such special and general orders and
written communications now existing or which may hereafter be established which are not in conflict
with this Agreement.
No disciplinary action shall be taken for violation of a newly established or amended and
posted rule or regulation until at least forty-eight (48) hours after initial posting.
The President of the Clearwater Supervisors Bargaining Unit shall be forwarded a copy of any
written departmental memorandum, rule, regulation, general or special order, or policy intended for
publication at least 10 days prior to the effective date such document is intended to establish a standard

endorse the policy and/or program, it shall advise the City of its reservations which have precluded it
from endorsement.
Section 5.The Union and the City shall not interfere with the right of employees covered
by this Agreement to become or to refrain from becoming members of the Union, and the Union and
the City shall not discriminate against any such employee because of membership or non-membership
in any employee organization. The Union acknowledges that it is the sole representative of bargaining
unit employees. However, the Union has no obligation to prosecute grievances under this Agreement
for non-members.

demotion occurring during such emergency may be pursued as a grievance upon the termination of
the emergency. The date of termination of the emergency shall be considered the first day under
the grievance procedure.
Section 7.Union Rights
A. Union Dues and Checkoff -- During the term of this Agreement, and except as provided below,
the City agrees to deduct the basic and uniform membership dues owed by the employee to the
Union on a biweekly basis, provided that prior to any such deduction the Union has provided the
City with a signed statement from each said employee for whom dues are to be made that such
deduction is authorized, and provided further that such authorization is in a form satisfactory to
the City. Any authorization for dues deduction may be canceled or amended by the employee
upon thirty (30) days written notice to the City and the Union and shall be discontinued in the
event the employee is terminated or is transferred, promoted or otherwise moved out of the
bargaining unit. The City will not deduct any Union fines, penalties or special assessments from
the pay of any employee.
In the event that an employee's salary earnings within any pay period, after deductions for
withholding, pension or social security, health and/or hospitalization insurance, or other standard
or legally required deductions, are not sufficient to cover the basic and uniform membership dues,
it will be the responsibility of the Union to collect its dues for that pay period from the employee.
B. Indemnification -- The Union shall indemnify, defend and hold the City, its officers, officials,
agents and employees harmless against any claim, demand, suit or liability (monetary or otherwise)
and for all legal costs arising from any action taken or not taken by the City, its officials, agents and
employees in complying with this Agreement. The Union shall promptly refund to the City any
funds received in accordance with this Agreement which are in excess of the amount of basic and
uniform membership dues which the City has agreed to deduct.
C. Stewards -- The stewards of the Union shall consist of the elected officers of the Union, subject
to a limit of four persons and four alternates. If the Union has more than four officers, it shall
designate the four who will serve as stewards. The Union will submit a list of the four elected
officers who will serve as stewards and the four alternates to the Police Chief and to the City
Manager or his/her designee.
Page 6
Any steward who feels unqualified to represent a member on any matter will be permitted to
contact the Union president who shall designate a representative to serve the member.
A steward shall not investigate or otherwise handle grievances during working hours without the
specific, expressed consent of the Division Commander. A steward shall not investigate his/her
own grievance or otherwise represent himself/herself.
D. Union Time -- The Union shall be allowed up to 300 hours of time off without loss of pay per
year for the purpose of attending official F.O.P. or bargaining unit functions, meetings or
conferences. Union time off with pay shall be granted by the City for the purposes of grievance
representation, labor management meetings, contract negotiations, and participation as a member
or attendee of any City committee whereby the Union member appears at the behest of and in the
interest of the City. Union time off with pay shall be provided for up to five Union representatives
(excluding a note taker) for contract negotiations. Requests for use of this Union time shall be
made in advance in writing by an elected officer of the Clearwater Supervisors Bargaining Unit or
Union Steward as described above to the immediate supervisor of the bargaining unit member who
will be utilizing the requested union time. The Police Chief or his/her designee will grant such
time off without loss of pay provided that, in his/her sole and unlimited discretion, the efficiency
of operation of the Department will not be interfered with or impaired. Any portion of the Union
time not used in an annual period, which shall be defined as a contract year beginning with
ratification, shall be forfeited and shall not be carried forward into the next annual period.
Bargaining unit members utilizing Union time under the provisions of this Section shall not be
eligible during the time of utilization for Worker's Compensation benefits in case of injury. In any
event, absence from duty for Union business shall not be approved when such requires a Union
member to be off duty for periods in excess of two (2) consecutive work shifts. Extension of any
consecutive time off for Union members over and above two (2) consecutive shifts may be granted
solely at the discretion of the Police Chief.
Joint related business between the City and the Union shall not be subject to deduction from
Union time under this Section when an employee is directed by the City to attend. However, the
Union acknowledges that such time needed for arbitration hearings will be chargeable to the
account.
E. Union Notification Media -- The City agrees to provide space (not less than 24 inches by 24
inches) on bulletin boards, utilization of e-mail, or other appropriate means of distributing notices
of meetings and other official Union information. The Police Chief or his/her designee shall first
review and approve or not approve any such posting or transmission of F.O.P. official
information for distribution in any City facility. No other City bulletin board, e-mail, or other
distribution methods may be used by the Union or any member of the bargaining unit for any
purpose not approved by the Police Chief. Such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The
Union is expressly prohibited from posting any information relating to political candidates or
political office.
F. Rules and Regulations and Memorandums -- The designated representative of the Union shall
have a copy distributed to his/her mail box of any written departmental memorandum, rule,
regulation, order or policy, intended for publication to all members of the bargaining unit, which is
intended to establish a standard of conduct for members of the bargaining unit.
Page 7
The designated representative of the Union shall be forwarded a copy of the agenda from the City
Clerk's office of any regular City Commission meeting in the same manner that the Chief of Police
is forwarded a copy.
G. Copying of Agreement -- The City and the Union each agree to pay one-half of a reasonable
cost for printing copies of this Agreement. Every bargaining unit member will be provided a
copy of the Agreement. The Union shall be responsible for providing copies to its members.
The Union may request that such provision of copies be accomplished by the City during new
employee orientation classes.
H. Use of Copying Equipment -- The City agrees to allow the Union's officers to use the
departmental copying equipment while off duty under the following conditions:
(a) The Chief or his/her designee shall approve the copying of any matter which shall be limited to
departmental records which the Chief will not allow the Union to remove from the
Department and copy using its own equipment.
(b) The Union will be charged and will remit such rate as may hereafter be established by the City
in accordance with City Policy.
(c) Department business will of course take priority and the Union will only be allowed to make
copies when the Department is not otherwise using the copier.
I. The Union shall designate a Civil Service Liaison Officer who may, on request, be relieved from
duty with no loss of pay for the purpose of attending Civil Service Board Meetings, unless the
efficiency of operation of the Department will be interfered with or impaired in the sole and
unlimited discretion of the Chief of Police or his/her designee. In addition, two Union officers
may, on request and at the discretion of the Chief or his/her designee, be relieved from duty with
no loss of pay for the purpose of attending official Union meetings, unless the efficiency of
operation of the Department will be interfered with or impaired.
J. The President of the Clearwater Supervisors Bargaining Unit or his/her designee shall be
forwarded a copy of the agenda in advance of every regular City Commission meeting.
ARTICLE 4
NO STRIKE
Section 1.The Union agrees that during the term of this Agreement it shall not authorize,
instigate, condone, excuse, ratify, support or acquiesce in any strike, slowdown, work stoppage or any
other act of like or similar nature likely to interfere with the efficient operation of the City's affairs
engaged in or supported by members of the Union and/or employees represented by the Union or
other agencies or representatives of the Union or its affiliates.
Section 2.Should the Union or its member employees covered hereunder within the City's
Police Department breach this Article, then the City may proceed to the appropriate court and,
without notice, obtain a temporary restraining order against such breach.
Page 8
Section 3.Should any member of the bargaining unit be found guilty of striking as defined
in Chapter 447, Florida Statutes, the employee shall be subject to dismissal, and it is expressly agreed
that such violation constitutes just cause for dismissal.
ARTICLE 5
LABOR-MANAGEMENT COOPERATION
The City and Union support the concept of Labor-Management cooperation to address
employee concerns that are not specifically provided for by contract provisions. Labor-Management
cooperative efforts shall not be intended to bypass established grievance procedures or the right of
collective bargaining. Labor-Management cooperation shall be utilized for the purpose of discussion
and input from both parties on matters that may be mutually resolved and are not subject to collective
bargaining, grievance, or litigation processes.
ARTICLE 6
GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE
It is the intent of this Article to provide a means for the fair, expeditious, and orderly settlement
of disputes that arise under this Agreement between the Union and/or a bargaining unit member and
the City. All employees and supervisory personnel should make every effort to settle differences at the
lowest possible step outlined in this Article.
Section 1.A grievance shall be defined as a timely complaint by an employee within the
bargaining unit regarding the interpretation or application of specific provisions of this Agreement.
The grieving individual must state in writing the remedy sought to resolve the grievance.
Section 2.All grievances filed shall refer to the specific Article and Section of this
Agreement upon which the grievance is based and shall contain a concise statement of the facts alleged
to support the grievance. Any grievance relating to disciplinary action shall be signed by the employee
initiating the grievance. A grievance relating to an alleged contract violation other than disciplinary
action may be filed by, and signed by, the Union on behalf of an employee(s) but must specify the
affected employee(s) by name. All information must be furnished. No grievance may be amended
from the original written grievance filed at the initial step of the grievance procedure. The Union
agrees to deliver copies of the initial grievance and of each successive written step of processing for the
grievance to the City Manager or his/her designee within forty-eight (48) hours of its submission to the
appropriate official within the Police Department.
Grievances shall be processed in accordance with the following procedure and shall be
determined by application of the terms of this Agreement. Where the term "working days" is used in
this Article, it shall refer to Monday through Friday. Saturdays, Sundays, and days designated as
holidays for managerial employees of the Police Department or the City Manager's office are excluded
from the term "working days." The time limits for filing the grievances and processing subsequent
steps in the grievance process shall be strictly construed, but may be extended by mutual agreement
evidenced in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of the City and the grieving party.
Failure of the grievant to comply with any of the time limits set forth hereunder shall constitute waiver
and bar further processing of the grievance. Failure of the City to comply with the time limits set forth
hereunder shall automatically move the grievance to the next level in the grievance process.
Page 9
Probationary employees shall not have access to the grievance procedure for failure to
satisfactorily complete the probationary period, but will be allowed to grieve other forms of discipline
for which they are charged for specific infractions or violations of City or departmental rules,
regulations, orders or other documents regulating conduct. The right of management to demote a
probationary employee for failing to meet standards is absolute and no specific reason shall be given.
Section 3.On behalf of employees covered by this Agreement, the Union hereby waives
any right of these employees to resort to the Civil Service Board concerning any matter that is defined
in this Agreement. This shall specifically include grievances relating to suspensions, demotions and
dismissals.
Section 4.Formal Processing of Grievances Initiated By Employee
The aggrieved employee may request that a Union representative be present at any time during
the grievance procedure.
STEP 1
An aggrieved employee (Police Sergeant or Police Lieutenant) shall present his/her grievance in
writing to the Police Major in his/her respective Division, or to the Deputy Police Chief if the
employee is not assigned to a specific Division, within ten (10) working days after the employee has
knowledge or constructive knowledge of the occurrence of the action giving rise to the grievance. The
written grievance at this step, and at all steps thereafter, shall contain the following information:
1. A statement of the grievance including date of occurrence, details, and the facts upon which the
grievance is based.
2. The Article and Section of the Labor Agreement alleged to have been violated.
3. The action, remedy, or solution requested by the employee.
4. Signature of aggrieved employee and Union representative.
5. Reason for rejection of management's answer, if appealed (Steps 2 and 3 only).
6. Date submitted.
Grievances submitted at this step shall be reviewed and returned to the grievant if the form
does not contain the above information. The grievant shall be notified of the insufficiency and
afforded an opportunity to correct and resubmit the grievance within two (2) working days of its being
returned to him/her. As used in this Article, the term "employee" shall also mean a group of
employees having the same grievance. In such event, one aggrieved employee shall be designated by
the group of employees to be responsible for processing the grievance. The Police Major or Deputy
Police Chief receiving the initial grievance shall review the grievance and meet with the employee and a
Union representative if one is requested and shall submit a response in writing to the aggrieved
employee within ten (10) working days from the date the grievance was presented to him/her. The
written response at this step and all steps thereafter shall contain the following information:
Page 10
1. An affirmation or denial of the facts upon which the grievance is based.
2. An analysis of the alleged violation of the Agreement.
3. The remedy or solution, if any, to be made.
4. Signature of the appropriate management representative.
Where the Police Major or Deputy Police Chief determines that he/she is unable to respond
due to circumstances of the grievance which may require a decision at a higher level, he/she may
respond by denying the grievance.
STEP 2
If the grievance is not resolved at Step 1, the aggrieved employee may submit the grievance to
the Police Chief within ten (10) working days from receipt of the response in Step 1. Such submission
of the grievance at Step 2 shall be in writing. The Police Chief or designee shall obtain necessary facts
concerning the alleged grievance and shall, within seven (7) working days following receipt of the
grievance at Step 2, meet with the aggrieved employee and a Union representative if one has been
requested. The Police Chief or his/her designee shall notify the aggrieved employee of his/her
decision in writing not later than seven (7) working days following the meeting day with the employee.
STEP 3
If the grievance is not resolved at Step 2, the grievance and all responses thereto may be
submitted to the City Manager or his/her designee within ten (10) working days of the time the
response was provided in Step 2. At the request of the employee, the City Manager or his/her
designee shall meet with the employee and a Union representative if one has been requested. The City
shall determine who shall meet with the employee. Within ten (10) working days of the meeting with
the employee, the City Manager or his/her designee will notify the aggrieved employee, in writing, of
his/her decision. If a grievance is not submitted to the City Manager or his/her designee, it shall be
deemed to have been resolved at Step 2 or to have been dropped by the grievant.
Section 5.Formal Processing of Grievance Initiated By City
Where any provision of this Agreement involves responsibility on the part of the Union which,
in the view of the City, is not properly being carried out, the City may present the issue to the Union as
a grievance. If such grievance cannot be resolved by discussion between the City and the unit
representative on an informal basis, the grievance may be formally filed in writing by the City Manager
or his/her designee by giving written notice to the authorized representative of the Union. Such notice
shall indicate the provision of the Agreement which the City contends is not properly being carried out
by the Union. If not resolved within ten (10) working days following receipt by the Union of the
written grievance, the City may submit the grievance to arbitration under the provisions of Section 6 of
this Article.
Page 11
Section 6.Grievance Arbitration
In the event that a grievance is still unresolved after Step 3 in Section 4 above or as provided in
Section 5 above, the matter may be submitted to final and binding arbitration as provided in this
Section.
A. Within ten (10) working days of the decision of the City Manager or his/her designee, the
aggrieved party shall notify the City Manager or his/her designee of intent to arbitrate.
Concurrently, said party shall request from the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service a list of
seven (7) names of qualified arbitrators. Within ten (10) working days after the receipt of such a
list, representatives of the parties shall meet and each party shall strike three (3) names. The party
filing the grievance shall strike the first name, then the other party shall strike a name. The process
shall be repeated and the remaining name shall be the arbitrator selected. The arbitrator shall be
notified of his/her selection. As promptly as can be arranged, but no later than thirty (30) days
from the selection of an arbitrator, the arbitration hearing shall be held. In the event that the
arbitrator selected is not available within the thirty (30) day time frame, the parties shall immediately
obtain a new list from the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service and select another arbitrator
using the same process as previously referenced.
B. Each party shall pay its own expense for its representative, counsel and witnesses. The fees of the
arbitrator, including the appearance fee of a court reporter and the cost of any transcript to be
provided to the arbitrator, shall be shared equally by the parties.
C. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon both parties, except that either party
may petition for review in the circuit court. The arbitrator shall have no power to amend, add to,
or subtract from the terms of this Agreement in rendering his/her decision and such decision shall
be limited to determination and interpretation of the explicit terms of this Agreement. If the City
has denied the grievance on the basis that it was not timely filed and processed as required by this
Article and if the arbitrator finds that the grievance was not timely filed or processed, then the
arbitrator shall have no power to grant relief. No decision of the arbitrator shall create a basis for
retroactive adjustment in any other case.
D. Copies of the decision of the arbitrator made in accordance with the jurisdiction and authority of
this Agreement shall be furnished to both parties within thirty (30) calendar days from the date of
the hearing.
E. The arbitrator shall arbitrate solely the issue presented.
F. Unless otherwise mutually agreed upon, the submission to the arbitrator shall be based solely on
the originally written grievance submitted in the grievance process.
Section 7.Grievances arising out of the discharge, demotion, or suspension of a bargaining
unit employee shall be initiated at Step 3 of the grievance procedure.

ARTICLE 7
PERSONNEL PRACTICES
Section 1.Duties of Police Sergeants and Police Lieutenants
A. The Union agrees that the duties of Police Sergeants and Police Lieutenants involve both the
performance of general police duties and the supervision of designated police personnel. The City
agrees that no Police Sergeant or Police Lieutenant shall be required to perform duties or functions
not reasonably consistent with the job specifications and duties as set forth in their respective job
descriptions or reasonably related to the performance of functions of the Police Department.
B. The City agrees that Police Sergeants and Police Lieutenants shall not be required to change
automobile tires except in emergencies; nor shall they be required to manually push disabled motor
vehicles. However, they shall make appropriate efforts to remove such disabled motor vehicles
where the elimination of blocked or congested traffic flow or related safety needs is such as to
reflect that the disabled motor vehicles should be reasonably relocated from the scene.
Section 2.Special Duty Call Out
A. All employees who are covered by this Agreement shall receive notice of any special duty detail,
not less than five (5) working days prior to that event.
B. This Section shall not pertain to emergencies or to unplanned or unscheduled events. Such
occurrences shall be conducted in accordance with established City policies and procedures.
C. Employees assigned to the criminal investigation division, patrol special operations section, traffic
section, or community policing teams are subject to adjustments of their hours and/or days to
meet the circumstances at hand. As much notice as possible will be given when adjustments are
necessary, but it is understood that hours must be flexible.
Section 3.Probation
An employee initially appointed or promoted to a class within the bargaining unit (Police
Sergeant or Police Lieutenant) shall serve a probationary period of six (6) months of active service
during which he/she shall have the opportunity to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Police Chief
his/her suitability for the job. In the event the employee is for any reason absent from duty for an
accumulated period of eighty scheduled work hours or more, then all such time shall be added to and
thereby extend the probationary period. The employee shall attain regular status in the class at the
completion of the six-month period, unless the Department has notified Human Resources with just
cause for withholding such status.
An employee, who during the probationary period does not demonstrate suitability for the class
as determined by the Police Chief, shall be notified in writing and shall be demoted to his/her former
classification. An employee serving a probationary period within the bargaining unit shall not be
entitled to appeal his/her non-successful probationary period and/or return to his/her former
position.
Page 13
Section 4.Promotional Procedures
A. Eligibility -- All Police Sergeants who have completed the promotional probationary period
successfully and who have served one year as a Sergeant following successful completion of the
probationary period shall be eligible to compete in the promotional process held by the City for the
classification of Police Lieutenant provided they have met the minimum qualification requirements
established by the City.
B. Evaluation Process -- The promotional process shall be competitive. It shall be based upon an
evaluation of the education and training of the candidates and their experience in the Clearwater
Police Department.
C. Upon promotion, employees shall be placed into the step in the higher level classification that
represents at least a 5% increase in base pay. Employees who at the time of promotion are
receiving Job Assignment Pay in accordance with Article 9, Section 8 of this Agreement shall be
entitled to have incorporated into their base pay, prior to the calculation of the promotional
increase, the greater amount from paragraph A or paragraph B. Such employees shall be placed
into the step in the higher level classification that represents at least a 5% increase above the
combined rate of pay and shall thereafter be eligible to receive Job Assignment Pay and any other
additional pays in accordance with the respective terms and conditions of this Agreement.
Section 5.Certification and Appointment
The Human Resources Department shall provide in alphabetical order a certified promotional
list for the filling of a vacancy in a permanent position. The Police Chief shall provide each certified
eligible with the opportunity to be interviewed for the designated vacancy, provided however that if a

income plan provided by the City, either by law or by agreement, to the point where the sum of
the line-of-duty supplement herein provided and all other payments herein described equal the

compensation purposes is defined as base pay and any assigned pay if regularly assigned, but
not shift pay.
(d) No line-of-duty compensation under this Section shall be allowed for the first seven (7)
calendar days of disability; provided however, that if the injury results in disability of more than
twenty-one (21) calendar days, line-of-duty compensation shall be paid from the

duty injury when coordinated through established Risk Management procedures shall not be
charged to the employee’s sick leave and shall be considered as time worked. In the event of

ARTICLE 14
SENIORITY, LAYOFF, AND RECALL
Section 1.Seniority shall be defined as the length of continuous service in full-time City
employment and will continue to accrue during all types of leave of absence with pay and other leaves
when specifically provided in this Agreement. Seniority in rank will be utilized to determine vacation
selection, selection of floating holidays, and for bidding for shift assignments, provided that skills and
qualifications are substantially equal and except as provided in Section 2 hereof.
Section 2.Bargaining unit members shall be permitted to bid shift assignments by seniority
in rank but the Department reserves the right, based on its determination of operational demands to
ensure that officers with specialized skills are appropriately deployed among the shifts and to ensure
that officers with limited tenure in their job classification are distributed relatively evenly among the
shifts. The Department reserves the right to designate up to four field training supervisors which will
be distributed as follows:
1. One FTO supervisor permanently assigned to an FTO team in District II
2. One FTO supervisor permanently assigned to an FTO team in District III
3. Two “floating” FTO supervisor positions allocated to the regular patrol shift bid
assignments and specialty assignments.
4. No more than one FTO Sergeant will be permitted to occupy the midnight relief shift at
any given time.
Bargaining unit members who are selected for FTO supervisor assignments shall be permitted
to bid among themselves by seniority in rank for the FTO supervisor assignments. Patrol Sergeants
who are in special duty assignments such as Community Policing, Traffic Section, Camera Program
Supervisor, or the Special Operations Section are not included in the bidding process.
An employee who is placed on light or restricted duty shall have bidding rights for shift
assignments, but has no assurance of the assignment until he/she resumes full duty status. The Chief
Page 41
of Police may reassign any officer when such reassignment is in the best interest of the Police
Department. Such reassignment shall be with proper justification.
Section 3.An employee shall lose his/her status as an employee and his/her seniority if the
employee:
(a) resigns or quits;
(b) is discharged or terminated (unless reversed through the grievance or arbitration process);
(c) retires;
(d) does not return to work from layoff within ten (10) calendar days after being notified to return
by certified mail addressed to his/her last address filed with the Human Resources Department;
(e) is absent from work, including the failure to return from leave of absence, vacation or
disciplinary action, for three (3) consecutive working days without notifying the Department,
except where the failure to notify and work is due to circumstances verified as being beyond the
control of the employee and which are acceptable to the City.
Section 4.In the event that the City determines layoffs are necessary, all emergency,
temporary, provisional or probationary employees shall be laid off before any regular status employee
serving in the same class. If reduction in force requires further layoffs, the order of such layoffs shall
be determined by seniority in rank.. An employee who is in a position that is subject to layoff shall
have the option to revert to the position held within the Police Department prior to promotion to
his/her current position, or to another sworn position of lower classification within the Police
Department for which he/she is qualified. If this movement requires further reduction in force, the
applicable bargaining agreement for the affected employees shall govern.
No new employee shall be hired or promoted to the classifications of Police Sergeant or Police
Lieutenant until all Police Sergeants and/or Lieutenants on layoff or demoted from those ranks in lieu
of layoff have been given an opportunity to return to work in their former Police Sergeant or Police
Lieutenant position and seniority date, provided that after one year of layoff such employees shall cease
to accrue seniority and that such reemployment rights shall cease after two years from the date of
layoff.

Ratify and confirm a supplemental work order to Reiss Engineering, Inc. (EOR) in the amount
of $159,357 for additional Construction Engineering and Inspection (CEI) associated with the
new brackish reverse osmosis water treatment plant at Water Treatment Plant No. 2, and

SUMMARY:
The City of Clearwater is nearing contract closeout of its new Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water
Treatment Plant located at 21133 N. US Hwy. 19 within the City of Clearwater.
City Council approved the design of the new Reverse Osmosis Plant No. 2 December 17,
2010. Subsequent supplemental work orders for design changes resulted in bids received
and a Council approved CEI supplemental work order May 1, 2013. Supplemental work
orders for changes encountered during construction have resulted in a total purchase order of
$6,247,518.34 for completed design and CEI services over the past 5 years. The current
request will compensate Reiss Engineering for the last of the changes encountered during
design and allow the City to closeout the project. The added funding will result in a new total
value of the purchase order to Reiss (PO’s ST107146 and ST107146-1) of $6,406,875.34.
This project is cooperatively funded by the Southwest Florida Water Management District
(SWFWMD). That agreement was approved at the September 22, 2010 City Council Meeting
that provides for the design, permitting and construction of a brackish reverse osmosis (RO)
facility at Water Treatment Plant (WTP) No. 2;
The City of Clearwater Public Utilities Department will own, operate and maintain the
Water Treatment Plant.
APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT:
0315-96767-563600-533-0000-0000

SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the third-year extension option of the Professional Services Contract between the
City of Clearwater and Imagine Global Consulting to provide tourism marketing services for
the City of Clearwater in the amount of $164,000 for Fiscal Year 2015-2016, and authorize the
appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
SUMMARY:
In the wake of changing market trends in tourism, the Economic Development and Housing
Department assessed current market trends in order to determine how best the city can utilize
its limited resources to capture more visitors and strengthen brand awareness of the City’s
offerings as a premiere destination.
As a result of this assessment, on May 6, 2013, the City released Request for Proposals
19-13, with the goal of selecting an experienced marketing and public relations partner to
direct future marketing and public relations efforts (including web and social media), in an
aggressive and comprehensive manner to strengthen awareness nationally and statewide of
the City’s attributes and offerings as a top vacation destination with an ultimate goal to attract
more visitors. In October 2013, the City contracted with Imagine Global Consulting (Imagine)
for their approach to the Scope of Work, relationships with the media and creativity.
The contract was structured as a two-year activity period with an option for a third year.
Imagine presented their accomplishments for the first contract year to the Council in
December 2014.
The Scope of Work overall includes a detailed action and activity marketing plan aimed at
increasing the brand awareness for the City of Clearwater. Imagine is promoting Clearwater
according to its unique selling points and defined niche markets. The focus for this current
fiscal year is on promoting events, increasing the number of journalists visiting and writing
about the destination, an in-depth SEO analysis of the website and an update of the current
online presence.
The results of the first contract year were exceptional with an increase of 9.88% in visitors,
9.93% increase in direct expenditures and economic impact, and a $5 million advertising value
representing 135 placements in key magazine, newspapers, websites, blogs, and other online
media, as well as 4 major national TV placements.
Given the results of the first year, staff recommends exercising the third-year contract option
to continue the momentum established over the last 18 months, capitalize on the media
relationships developed in that time for Clearwater and provide Imagine the time needed to
complete key initiatives underway including:
Page 1 City of Clearwater Printed on 5/6/2015
File Number: ID#15-1235
•In-depth SEO analysis of current website to fully understand traffic patterns and use of
webpage.
·Evaluation and enhancement of the tourism website based on SEO findings and
according to the new City branding (www.visitclearwaterflorida.com
<http://www.visitclearwaterflorida.com>).
·Finalization of video content development project to supply all online platforms with
up-to-date video content and create stock b-roll for editorial media purposes. Visual
Materials are vital to the promotion of a destination to create interest and drive desire
to travel.
·Finalization of social media campaign; Instagram Picture Frame promotion anticipated
to run through 2016.
·Planning of a 2016 wintertime social media give-away and sweepstakes with a national
airline partner.
·Follow up of a pitch to have live broadcasts from Clearwater during the winter season
for weather correspondents with the major television networks.
·Coordination of individual press trips as well as two larger group press trips. Media
visits planned will require follow up and continued fact checking and input to secure
media coverage.
·Continue to promote elite events in the destination with PR activities.
Funding will be included as part of the Department’s Fiscal Year 15-16 budget. The third-year
contract funding would be for $160,000 inclusive of all marketing, PR and administration, plus
$4,000 for reimbursable expenses. If the Council opts not to engage Imagine for a third year,
the Department will need to conduct a Request for Proposals (RFP) process to select a
contractor.

Most of these mains and service lines are located in highly congested areas within Clearwater,
Belleair and Dunedin. This replacement project is estimated to take 2 ½ years to complete.
Once this project is completed, CGS will have removed all bare steel and cast iron mains and
service lines within its distribution system.

Exhibit B - ITB #36-15
Supplement Terms and Conditions
1. BID ITEMS AND ESTIMATED QUANTITIES. The Contractor agrees that the estimated
quantities shown in the Bid Schedule are only for the purpose of comparing bids and that he/she
is satisfied with, and will at no time dispute, the said estimates as means of comparing the
aforesaid bids, that he/she will make no claim for loss of profits or anticipated profits because of
any difference between the said estimated quantities and the quantities of various classes of work
actually furnished or performed, that the Owner shall not be held responsible if any of the said
estimated quantities should vary by any amount from those actually measured during
performance of the work.
2. APPROVED MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT. Whenever a material, article or piece of
equipment is identified on the plans or in the specifications by reference to manufacturers' or
vendors' names, trade names, catalog numbers, etc., it is intended to establish a standard of
quality and it will be presumed, unless specifically excepted by the bidder, that the base bid
includes the materials or articles so named, and that the Contractor's proposal, if accepted, will
constitute a contractual obligation to furnish the standard named materials or articles and no
other. To assist the Engineer in making an adequate evaluation, the bidder shall submit with his
proposal, at the time bids are received, detailed information and data on the items he proposes to
furnish as equally acceptable to the named terms. The data furnished shall include as applicable
and needed for evaluation, manufacturer's name, model identification, descriptive brochures,
specifications, performance data, guaranteed efficiencies, and list of installations in similar
service. Such alternate material, article or piece of equipment shall not be purchased or installed
by the Contractor without the Engineer's written approval. Any revisions to the Drawings as a
result of alternate equipment shall be at the expense of the Contractor.
3. SAMPLE OF MATERIALS. Before any contract is awarded, the bidder may be required to furnish
a complete statement of the origin, composition and manufacture of any or all materials to be
used in the work, together with samples, which samples may be subjected to the tests provided
for in these specifications to determine their quality and conformity to the plans and
specifications.
4. TIME OF COMPLETION. The successful Contractor shall commence work under his contract on
a date to be specified in a written order from the Owner or his authorized representative, which
order will also establish the completion date in accordance with the total number of consecutive
calendar days established as a working period in the proposal. The Contractor shall have at least
two (2) week’s notice of this commencement date and shall fully complete the work described in
these plans and specifications on, or prior to, the completion date.
If the Contractor fails to commence work within seven (7) days of the announcement of the official
starting date, this shall be just cause for the annulment of the contract.
5. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. Should the Contractor fail to complete his work on or before the
expiration of the date set for completion or as provided in the Contract Documents covering
extension of time, then the Owner may retain as liquidated damages the amount established in
the proposal form, which amount is agreed upon as the costs which the Owner will sustain per
2
diem by the failure of the Contractor to complete the work at the time stipulated and the sum is
not to be construed as in any sense a penalty.
6. DRAWINGS. The drawings which accompany the specifications are herein designated contract
drawings and are for the purpose of illustrating the general character and extent of the work and
are subject to such modifications and elaboration’s by the Owner and Engineer as may be found
necessary or advisable, either before or during the prosecution of the work, and the Contractor
shall conform to and abide by whatever supplementary drawings and explanations that may be
furnished by the Engineer for the purpose of illustrating the work. The Engineer shall decide as to
the true meaning or intention of any portion of the specifications and drawings where the same
may be found unclear or in conflict.
Should anything be omitted from the contract drawings or specifications which is necessary for a
clear understanding of the work, or should any error appear either in any of the various
instruments furnished or in the work done by other Contractors affecting the work included under
this contract, the Contractor shall promptly notify the Engineer of such omissions or errors, and in
the event of the Contractor's failure to do so, he shall make good any damage to or defect in his
work caused thereby. He will not be allowed to take advantage of any error or omission on the
contract drawings, as full instructions will be furnished by the Engineer, should such error or
omission be discovered, and the Contractor shall carry out such instructions as if originally
specified.
7. PERMITS AND LICENSES. Permits and licenses of a temporary nature necessary for the
prosecution of the work shall be secured and paid for by the Contractor unless otherwise
specified. Permits, licenses and easements for CGS gas mains and services classified as CGS
permanent structures or permanent changes in existing facilities will be secured and paid for by
the Owner, unless otherwise specified. Contractor will also be responsible for obtaining gas
permits related to house piping connections to gas meter if required, and maintenance of
appropriate trade licenses to perform the specific scope of work described in this contract,
including consumer’s underground house piping and gas meter relocation piping and
connections. They also will be noted as contractor of record on the applicable permits.
The Contractor shall give all notices and comply with all laws, ordinances, rules and regulations
bearing on the conduct of the work as drawn and specified. If the Contractor observes that the
drawings and specifications are at variance therewith, he shall promptly notify the Engineer in
writing, and any necessary changes shall be adjusted as provided in the contract for changes in
the work. If the Contractor performs any work knowing it to be contrary to such laws, ordinances,
rules and regulations, and without such notice to the Engineer, he shall bear all costs arising
there from.
8. PLANS, SPECIFICATIONS AND SHOP DRAWINGS. The specifications are intended to
supplement and clarify the plans. Work is sometimes called for in the specifications that is not
shown completely on the plans; and the plans sometimes indicate work that is not mentioned in
the specifications. Both plans and specifications must be complied with completely in order to
fulfill the Contract requirements; and whether or not the work is specifically defined in any bid
item, any work called for by either is as binding as if it were called for by both. The construction
drawings, as prepared prior to receiving bids, are intended to describe the general scope of the
work and to form the basis of comparable bids and may be supplemented after award of the
contract with manufacturer's shop drawings, detailed working drawings and other detailed data
necessary to thoroughly describe the requirements of the finished facility. In no case, however,
3
will such supplemental information form the basis of claims by the Contractor for increased
compensation and in no case will the required work described by the supplemental information be
considered as extra work. In case of conflict between plans and specifications, the Engineer shall
be the sole judge of which shall prevail. The Engineer shall make all necessary explanations as to
the true meaning and intent of the plans and specifications. Any errors or omissions in the plans
and specifications may be corrected by the Engineer when such corrections are necessary for the
proper completion of the work.
The Contractor shall sign and stamp approved all shop or setting drawings for items of equipment
on which he has bid and proposes to install, to verify field dimensions, design criteria, and
materials. After the Contractor has signed and approved the shop drawings, they shall be
promptly submitted to the Owner in quadruplicate for review for conformance with the design
concepts of the project. The Contractor shall call Owner's attention to any deviation in the shop
drawings or submittals from the requirements of the plans and specifications. No deviation from
the plans and specifications shall be approved without a written Change Order. Changes or
corrections may be noted by the Owner and one copy will be returned to the Contractor. The
Contractor shall make any corrections required by the Owner and shall return the required
number of corrected copies of shop drawings until no exception is taken. The Contractor shall
direct specific attention in writing to revisions on resubmitted shop drawings other than the
corrections called for by the Owner on previous submissions. Contractor's stamp of approval on
any shop drawings shall constitute a representation to the Owner that the Contractor has either
verified all quantities, dimensions, field construction criteria, materials, catalog numbers, and
similar data or he assumes full responsibility for doing so and that he has reviewed or coordinated
each shop drawing with the requirements of the work and the Contract documents.
The shop drawings in no way become a part of the Contract documents but are furnished for
informational purposes only. Regardless of corrections made in, review or approval given to such
drawings by the Engineer, the Contractor shall be responsible for the accuracy of such drawings
and for their conformity to the Contract plans and specifications.
9. WORKING SCHEDULES AND PROGRESS CHARTS. The Contractor shall prepare and submit
to the Owner for approval prior to initiating construction activities a working schedule showing the
locations and the order in which the Contractor proposes to undertake the construction. A
schedule will include anticipated starting and completion dates for the various sections and items
included in this Contract and will also indicate scheduled delivery date for all mechanical
equipment. All work provided to the contractor, including service lines shall be scheduled within a
72 hour turn around; emergency work will have an immediate response. FDOT, County and
Municipal permit utilization right of way and road crossing permit installations shall be prioritized
to recover from the delay associated with obtaining the permit.
Accompanying this schedule shall be a chart sufficiently large to be suitable for recording the
progress of the work. The Contractor will be required to indicate actual progress on this chart and
printed copies shall be made available at the end of each month. These progress charts will be
used in preparing the monthly estimates to the Owner. The contractor shall furnish an electronic
copy of the daily work schedule in advance of the work being done preferably prior to the
beginning of the work day. Copies include Construction Inspection, Gas Sales, Dispatch and
Senior Accountant. The contractor shall also provide an electronic copy of the daily completed
work being done preferably at the end of that work day or the beginning of the next work day.
4
10. SUPERVISION AND RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CONTRACTOR. The Contractor shall give the
work the constant attention necessary to facilitate the progress thereof and shall cooperate with
the Owner and with other contractors in every way possible. The Contractor shall at all times
have an OQ competent superintendent and field supervisors, capable of reading and thoroughly
understanding the drawings and specifications, as his agent on the work, who shall, as the
Contractor's agent, supervise, direct and otherwise conduct the work. Such superintendent shall
be furnished irrespective of the amount of work sublet.
The Contractor shall be solely and wholly responsible for delivering the completed work in a
good, safe and workmanlike condition and for the good condition of the work and materials until
final acceptance and his formal release from his obligations. He shall bear all losses resulting on
account of the weather, fire, the elements, or other causes of every kind or nature.
The Contractor shall provide and maintain at his own expense, in a sanitary condition, such
portable chemical toilets accommodations for the use of his employees as are necessary to
comply with the requirements and regulations of the State Department of Health & Rehabilitative
Services or the County Health Department. He shall commit no public nuisance. Sanitary facilities
shall be at least 500-feet from the nearest water well. Portable toilets shall have incorporated
therein metal containers which shall be tightly closed and all waste shall be pumped out and
transported away from the site of the work weekly and disposed of properly. The portable toilet
facilities shall be sanitized weekly and not become a nuisance.
11. OBSERVATION OF THE WORK. The Owner or his authorized representative-CGS inspector
shall have free access to the materials and the work at all times for measuring or observing the
same, and the Contractor shall afford him all necessary facilities and assistance for so doing.
The contractor shall furnish to CGS a daily work schedule and list of completed jobs. The
notification shall be sent before the start of the work day and a distribution list shall be provided
with necessary updates. After written authorization to proceed with the work and the Engineer
has been engaged to act as the Owners representative, the Engineer shall:
A. Make visits to the site at intervals appropriate to the various stages of construction to
observe the progress and quality of the executed work and to determine in general if the work is
proceeding in accordance with the Contract Documents; he will not be required to make
exhaustive or continuous on-site observations to check the quality or quantity of the work, he will
not be responsible for the construction means, methods, procedures, techniques and sequences
of construction and he will not be responsible for the Contractor's failure to perform the
construction work in accordance with the Contract Documents; he will not be responsible for
safety precautions and procedures in connection with the work; and during such visits and on the
basis of his on-site observations as an experienced and qualified design professional he will keep
the Owner informed of the progress of the work, will endeavor to guard the Owner against defects
and deficiencies in the work of Contractors and may disapprove work as failing to conform to the
Contract Documents.
B. Review samples, catalog data, schedules, shop drawings, laboratory, shop and mill tests
of materials and equipment and other data which the Contractor is required to submit, only for
conformance with the design concept of the project and compliance with the information given by
the Contract Documents, and assemble written guarantees which are required by the Contract
Documents. Review of shop drawings by Engineer shall not relieve Contractor from his
responsibility to perform his work in accordance with the plans and specifications.
5
C. Consult with and advise the Owner, act as the Owner's representative at the project site,
issue all instructions of the Owner to the Contractor and prepare routine Change Orders as
required.
D. Based on his on-site observations as an experienced and qualified design professional
and on his review of the Contractor's applications for payment, determine the amount owing to
the Contractor and approve in writing payment to the Contractors in such amounts; such
approvals of payment to constitute a representation to the Owner, based on such observations
and review of the data comprising such applications, that the work has progressed to the point
indicated and that, to the best of his knowledge, information and belief, the quality of the work is
in accordance with the Contract Documents, subject to the results of any subsequent test called
for in the Contract Documents and any qualifications stated in his approval. Such partial and final
payments will be as specified elsewhere herein except as modified in this paragraph.
E. Conduct, in company with the Owner, a final site visit of the project for general
conformance with the design concept of the project and general compliance with the information
given by the Contract Documents, and recommend in writing final payment to the Contractor.
12. EXAMINATION OF THE WORK. The authority and duties of the resident project representatives
when provided and authorized as employees of the Engineer and when the employment thereof
is authorized and paid by the Owner, are limited to examining the material furnished, observing
the work done and reporting their findings to the Engineer. The Engineer does not underwrite,
guarantee or insure the work done by the Contractor. It is the Contractor's responsibility to
perform the work in all details in accordance with the Contract Documents, and the Engineer shall
never be responsible or liable to either the Owner or the Contractor or any other party by reason
of the Contractor's failure to do so. Failure by the Engineer or by any project representative or
other representative of the Owner engaged in on-the-site observation to discover defects or
deficiencies in the work of the Contractor shall never, under any circumstances, relieve the
Contractor from his responsibility therefore to the Owner, or subject the Engineer to any liability to
the Owner, the Contractor, or any other party for any such defect or deficiency.
Project representatives shall have no authority to permit deviation from or to modify any of the
provisions of the Drawings or Specifications without the written permission or instruction of the
Engineer, or to delay the Contractor by failure to observe the materials and work with reasonable
promptness.
The Engineer, his representatives, employees, or any resident project representative in the
employment of the Engineer will not have authority to supervise, direct, expedite or otherwise
control and instruct or order the Contractor or his employees in the fulfillment of the Contractor's
obligation. The Owner's instructions, orders, directions and/or orders to the Contractor shall be
given only through the Engineer, or his employees. The Engineer may only advise the Contractor
when it appears to the Engineer that the work and/or materials do not conform to the
requirements of the Contract Documents, including the Drawings and Specifications.
The payment of any compensation, irrespective of its character or form, or the giving of any
gratuity, or the granting or any valuable favor, directly or indirectly, by the Contractor to any
project representative, is strictly prohibited, and any such act on the part of the Contractor will
constitute a violation of the contract.
6
If the Contract Documents, laws, ordinances, rules, regulations or orders of any public authority
having jurisdiction require any work to specifically be inspected, tested, or approved by someone
other than the Contractor, the Contractor will give the Engineer timely notice of readiness
therefore. The Contractor will furnish the Engineer the required certificates of inspection, testing
or approval. All such tests will be in accordance with the methods prescribed by the American
Society for Testing and Materials, or such other applicable organization as may be required by
law or the Contract Documents. If any such work required so to be inspected, tested or approved
is covered without written approval of the Engineer, it must, if requested by the Engineer, be
uncovered for observation at the Contractor's expense. The cost of all such inspections, tests and
approvals shall be borne by the Contractor unless otherwise provided.
13. PROTECTION OF WORK AND PROPERTY. The Contractor shall continuously maintain
adequate protection of all his work from damage and shall protect the Owner's property from
injury or loss arising in connection with this Contract. He shall make good any such damage,
injury, or loss, except such as maybe directly due to errors in the Contract Documents, or caused
by agents or employees of the Owner. He shall adequately protect adjacent property as provided
by law and the Contract Documents. He shall provide and maintain all passage ways, guard
fences, lights, and other facilities for protection required by public authority or local conditions.
From the start of the work until the completion and acceptance of the work, the Contractor shall
be solely responsible for the work covered by this contract and for the materials delivered at the
site intended to be used in the work and all injury or damage done to the same from whatever
cause as well as any damage done by him, his agents, employees and for subcontractors in the
performance of the work, shall be made good by him at his own expense before the final payment
is made. The Contractor shall be responsible for the preservation of all trees along and adjacent
to the work and shall use every precaution necessary to prevent damage or injury thereto. The
Contractor shall not willfully or maliciously injure or destroy trees or shrubs, and he shall not
remove or cut them without proper authorization from the Owner. Any limbs or branches of trees
broken during such operations, shall be trimmed with a clean cut and painted with an approved
tree healing compound. The Contractor will be liable for all damages or at the option of the Owner
may be required to replace or restore at his own expense, all vegetation not protected and
preserved that may be destroyed or damaged.
The Contractor shall provide suitable means of protection for all materials intended to be used in
the work and for all work in progress, as well as for completed work.
The Contractor shall furnish all the necessary equipment, shall take all necessary precautions
and shall assume the entire cost of handling any sewage, seepage, storm, surface and flood
flows which may be encountered at any time during the construction of the work. The manner
providing for these occurrences shall meet with the approval of the Owner, and the entire cost of
said work shall be considered as having been included in the unit prices submitted for the several
items of the work to be done under this contract.
14. USE OF COMPLETED PORTIONS. The Owner shall have the right to take possession of and
use any completed or partially completed portions of the work, notwithstanding that the time for
completing the entire work or such portions may not have expired but such taking possession and
use shall not be deemed an acceptance of any work not completed in accordance with the
Contract Documents. If such prior use increases the cost of or delays the work, the Contractor
shall be entitled to such extra compensation, or extension of time, or both, as the Owner may
determine.
7
15. THE OWNER'S RIGHT TO DO WORK. If the Contractor should neglect to prosecute the work
properly, safely, or fail to perform any provision of this contract, the Owner, after three days'
written notice to the Contractor may, without prejudice to any other remedy he may have, make
good such deficiencies and may deduct the cost thereof from the payment then or thereafter due
the Contractor.
16. ALTERATION OF PLANS. The Engineer reserves the right to make such alterations in the plans
or in the character of the work as may be considered necessary or desirable from time to time to
complete fully the construction of the work, provided such alterations do not change materially the
original plans and specifications, and such alterations shall not be considered as a waiver of any
condition of the contract nor to invalidate any of the provisions thereof.
No alterations in the plans or in the character of the work shall be made without the previous
written approval of the Engineer and/or Inspector.
17. UNAUTHORIZED WORK. Work done without lines and grades being given, and gas pipe
installed shallow or contrary to code requirements, and work done beyond the lines and grades
shown on the plans or as given, except as herein provided, or any extra work done without written
authority, will be considered as unauthorized and at the expense of the Contractor and will not be
accepted or paid for by the Owner. The Owner may order that work so done be removed and
replaced at the Contractor's expense.
18. CHANGES IN THE WORK. If for any reason it be deemed necessary in the opinion of the Owner
to make any variations in the scope or nature of the work, which variations increase or decrease
the quantities of the work specified, or change the location to an extent not unreasonably
affecting the conditions of the work, and further interpreted by the Owner as involving no classes
of work other than those called for by this contract, the Contractor shall, upon written order from
the Owner to that effect, make such variations. If such variations diminish the quantity of the work
to be done, no claim for damages or for anticipated profits on the work that may be dispensed
with shall there by accrue to the Contractor, and the value of the work dispensed with will not be
included in any payments made to the Contractor. If such variations increase the amount of the
work, the value of such increase shall be determined and fixed by the Owner in accordance with
the quantity of such work actually done, and at the unit prices stipulated in the contract.
All major changes will be issued in a standard form which will contain a description of the work
involved in the change, a reference to the proper construction drawings or revised drawings and
will not be effective until signed by the Owner and Contractor.
Such alterations or changes as are mentioned in this section shall not vitiate or annul the
obligations of the contract or the agreement for the work.
Should, in the opinion of the Owner, any contemplated change in the quantities of the work, or
alterations thereof, materially affect the character of the work, or any part thereof, or materially
affect the compensation for the same, then the work shall be classed as extra work.
19. EXTRA WORK/INCREASED COMPENSATION. The Owner may at any time, by a written order,
without notice to the Sureties, and without invalidating the contract, require the performance of
such extra work or substantial changes in the work as it may find necessary or desirable. The
amount of compensation to be paid to the Contractor for any extra work, as ordered, shall be
determined as follows:
8
(a) By unit prices named in contract and subsequently agreed upon,
(b) By a lump sum mutually agreed upon by the Owner and the Contractor; or
(c) If no such unit prices are set forth and if the parties cannot agree upon a lump sum, then
by the actual net cost in money to the Contractor of the wages of applied labor (including
premiums for Worker's Compensation Insurance, and Social Security taxes); plus twenty
per centum (20%) as compensation for all items of profit, administration, overhead,
superintendence, insurance other than Worker's Compensation Insurance, materials
used in temporary structures, allowances made by the Contractor to subcontractors,
additional premiums upon the performance bond of the Contractor and the use of small

seven (7) days from the date of the notice from the Owner to do so, then the Owner may remove
or cause the same to be removed and satisfactorily replaced by contract or otherwise, as they
may deem expedient, and they may and are empowered, to charge the expense thereof to the
Contractor. The expense so charged will be deducted and paid by the Owner out of such monies
as are or may become due under this agreement, or if such monies are not sufficient to meet said
expense, the additional monies shall be furnished by the Contractor, and if he refuses or neglects
to provide the necessary monies they shall be provided by his Surety.
22. ABANDONMENT OF WORK. Should the Contractor abandon, or in any manner fail to complete
the work, the Owner is hereby authorized and empowered to pay any workmen who may have

become the property of the Contractor and shall be removed from the work and disposed of by the Contractor at his expense.
J. Excess suitable material shall remain the property of the Owner and shall be disposed of
within the limits of the project as directed by the Owner's Representative. The disposal area shall be finish graded upon completion of the work.
K. Any unsafe excavation condition observed by the CGS inspector shall result in the
immediate stoppage of the work operation, until the unsafe condition is mitigated.
3.03 REMOVAL OF WATER
A. It is a basic requirement of these specifications that excavations shall be free from water before pipe or structures are installed. However, it is realized that in certain sections of
the work this cannot be accomplished economically and the Contractor may elect to use the Alternate Method of Construction, when approved by CGS.
10
B. The Contractor shall provide all necessary pumps, underdrains, well-point systems, and
other means for removing water from trenches and other parts of the work. The Contractor shall continue dewatering operations until the backfill has progressed to a
sufficient depth over the pipe to prevent flotation or movement of the pipe in the trench and so that it is above the natural water table.
C. Water from the trenches and excavation shall be disposed of in such a manner as will not
cause injury to public health, to public or private property, to the work completed or in progress, to the surface of the streets, or cause any interference with the use of the same
by the public. CGS is not responsible for, or the disposal of, or any associated costs relating to the disposal of any contaminated ground water. The Contractor shall submit
his proposed methods of handling trench water and locations at which the water will be
disposed of to the Owner’s Representative for approval and shall receive approval before
starting the excavation.
3.04 PIPE BEDDING A. As described above, all pipe trenches shall be excavated to a level 8-inches below the
outside bottom of the proposed pipe barrel. The resulting excavation shall be backfilled with approved pipe bedding materials, that are free of rock, sharp objects and debris, up
to the level of the lower one-third of the proposed pipe barrel. This backfill shall be tamped and compacted to provide a proper bedding for the pipe and shall then be
shaped to receive the pipe. Bedding shall be provided under the branch of all fittings to furnish adequate support and bearing under the fitting. Bedding material for piping shall
be pea rock, drainfield lime rock, or similar materials as approved by the Owner’s Representative. Lime rock screenings, sand or other fine inorganic material from the
excavation may be used for bedding material when pipe is installed above the natural water table.
B. Any excavation below the levels required for installation of the pipe bedding, except for
"Additional Excavation", as hereinafter specified, shall be backfilled with approved bedding material, tamped, compacted and shaped to provide proper support for the
proposed pipe, at no additional cost to the Owner's Representative.

specifications, will be conducted at the Contractor’s expense. Tests will be made at depths and locations selected by the Owner's Representative.
C. Trench backfill which does not comply with the specified densities, as indicated by such
tests, shall be reworked and re-compacted until the required compaction is secured, at no additional cost to the Owner. The Costs for retesting such work shall be paid for the
Contractor.
3.10 ADDITIONAL EXCAVATION AND BACKFILL A. Where organic material, such as roots, muck, or other vegetable matter, or other material
which, in the opinion of the Owner’s Representative, will result in unsatisfactory foundation conditions, is encountered below the level of the proposed pipe bedding
material, it shall be wholly or partially removed as directed by the Owner's Representative and wasted. Sheeting shall be installed if necessary to maintain pipe trenches within the
specified limits. The resulting excavation shall be backfilled with suitable backfill material, placed in 6-inch layers, tamped and compacted up to the level of the bottom of the
proposed pipe bedding material. Sufficient compaction of this material shall be performed to protect the proposed pipe against settlement. Construction shall then
proceed in accordance with the provisions of Article 3.04 Pipe Bedding.
B. Additional excavation shall be performed only when ordered by the Owner's Representative. Where organic or other unsuitable material is encountered in the
excavation, the Contractor shall bring the condition to the attention of the Owner’s Representative and obtain his determination as to whether or not the material will require
removal, prior to preparing the pipe bedding.
13
C. Additional backfill material, if required, shall be furnished in accordance with the provisions therefore in Article 3.08 Backfill.
3.11 ALTERNATE METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION
A. General:
1. A combination of conditions in the substrata, water table, or method of disposal may be encountered during the course of the work, which make dewatering
impossible, or only possible through the use of unusual methods, the cost of which is excessive. When such conditions are encountered, but only after
all reasonable means to dewater the excavation have been employed without success, the Contractor, with the concurrence of the Owner's Representative,
may elect to employ the following alternate method of construction. The concurrence of the Owner's Representative shall be obtained in writing and shall
limit the use of the alternate method of construction to such specific portions of the work as the Owner's Representatives shall determine.
2. The construction specifications contained in the preceding parts of this section
shall establish the required standards of construction quality for this work. Use of the alternate method of construction described hereinafter shall in no way be
construed as relieving the Contractor of his basic responsibility for satisfactory completion of the work. No additional payment will be made to the

NATURAL GAS HOUSE (PIPING) PLUMBING
DESCRIPTION
It is a mandatory requirement of the Natural Gas House (Piping) Plumbing Section that the contractor possesses either a Master Plumbers certified or registered with the State of Florida and locally or a Gas
Contractor license registered locally with either PCCLB or Pasco County Building Department, depending where jurisdictionally the work will be performed.
The work to be performed shall consist of furnishing all necessary labor, tools, equipment, materials, pipe
& fittings, supplies, manufactured articles, power, and essential customer communication, labor, and other operations necessary for the modification of existing natural gas house plumbing to accommodate
relocation of gas meters including: obtaining required permits if applicable; installation of new house gas pipes by threading pipe, measuring/ fitting and assembling pipe and fittings, new shut off valves, gas meters and regulators and connecting customer piping from a new location and, , existing gas piping
system code compliant review and subsequent pressure testing – leak check (Drop Test- utilizing a
manometer))of the entire house gas plumbing system, and passing required inspections. CGS will reserve the right to mandate the turning on the gas and relighting the applicable appliances. Contractor
shall immediately notify CGS dispatch of the “on gas” and complete the required paperwork, including the drop test integrity system testing form, and submit, no later than the following business day. The work
shall be complete and performed in strict accordance with the Contract specifications, and in compliance with all applicable codes, CGS requirements, Florida Fuel Gas Code and industry standards. All work,
materials, and services not expressly shown or called for in the Contract Documents, which may be necessary for the complete and proper construction of the work in good faith, shall be performed,
furnished, and installed by the Contractor as though originally so specified or shown, at no increase in cost to CGS. Gas pipe fitters and plumbers shall be licensed qualified and thoroughly trained and
27
experienced in the skills required, and shall be completely familiar with the design and application of work described.
EXISTING GAS HOUSE PIPING (PLUMBING)
The modification of the existing gas house piping plumbing shall be performed by the contractor only after
receiving written approval from the CGS construction inspector. With the inspector’s authorization the
Contractor shall perform all modifications required for gas meter set clearance code compliance of existing natural gas plumbing.
The Contractor shall remove and dispose of all abandoned existing gas plumbing piping. The Contractor
shall not cut into the existing gas plumbing until the CGS inspector verifies the new meter stub-out location.
TESTING
Contractor shall pay for all testing and retesting required to show compliance with the Contract Specifications Codes, Regulations, and all other applicable laws.
A. CUSTOMER SYSTEM PRESSURE TEST
The Contractor will conduct leakage tests at one and half times the gas delivery pressure for minimum time of 15 minutes on the new completed gas plumbing or as required by the City- County Building
Inspector. The pressure shall not decrease or increase during the test period.
B. CODE COMPLIANCE TESTING Before gas is introduced into a system of gas piping, the entire system shall be inspected to determine
that there are no open fittings or ends and that all valves at unused outlets are closed and plugged or capped.
C. LEAK DETECTION METHODS
The leakage shall be located by means of an approved gas detector, a noncorrosive detection fluid or other approved leak detection methods
The following is an approved procedure for leak testing customer piping systems:
Leak tests are required any time there is an interruption of service meaning the flow of gas was stopped
for any reason. Florida Fuel Gas Code 406.6.3 (NFPA 54 -8.2.3) states that "Immediately after the gas is turned on into a new system or into a system that has been initially restored after an interruption of
service, the piping system shall be tested for leakage. If leakage is indicated, the gas supply shall be shut off until the necessary repairs have been made".
The leak test will indicate any leaks within the propane piping system due to interruption of service or out
of gas situation. The leakage test is simply testing the integrity of the system plumbing joints and the seal of the pipe joint compound, piping fittings, pipe, gas equipment & appliances, valves etc. This is the safety
reasoning behind leak testing. The purpose a leak test is performed is the life-safety factor “Protect Life and Then Property and because it is required by Federal Pipeline Safety Laws of CFR 49.192, Florida
Building Code adopted law/ ordinance and the gas industry.
The leak check tests for leakage throughout the system of piping and appliances. It is used for new and existing gas systems. It is conducted after a system has been successfully pressure tested, inspected
and approved.
Normally, the leak check is conducted when one of the following occurs:
A system of new gas or modified gas piping is placed into service for the first time (drop test)
A gas leakage is suspected (investigation of an odor complaint)
28
A gas meter is replaced
An appliance or appliance connector is replaced
An out of gas condition occurs (interruption of service)
The pressure test and leak check are often confused. A pressure test is required for new piping
installations, while a leak check is required whenever the gas system is initially placed into service or when the gas is turned back on after it has been turned off. Leak checks differ from the pressure test in
that it requires no special preparations. The medium used for a leak check is fuel gas at normal supply pressure. The gas is applied to the total system.
LEAK CHECK PROCEDURE
The procedure for the leak check is not specified in the NFPA 54- National Fuel Gas Code or the ICC Fuel Gas Code- Florida Fuel Gas Code. Any CGS accepted method can be used, as long as it finds
leaks. It is recommended that a written procedure for the method be developed and the steps be taken to ensure that all employees follow the method established, consequently every system is tested identically.
TESTING FOR LEAKAGE
This test can be done by one of the following methods: For Any Gas System- To an appropriate checkpoint attach a manometer or an appropriate pressure
gauge between the inlet to the piping system and the first regulator in the piping system, momentarily turn on the gas supply and observe the gauging device for pressure drop with the gas supply shut off. No
evident drop in pressure should occur during a period of 3 minutes. For Gas Systems Using Undiluted Liquefied Petroleum Gas System- Preparation for propane. A leak check performed on an LP Gas System being placed back into service should include all regulators,
including appliance regulators, and control valves in the system. Accordingly, each individual equipment shutoff valve should be supplying pressure to its appliance for the leak check. This check will prove the
integrity of the 100 percent pilot shut off of each gas valve in the on position. Pilot not incorporating a 100 percent pilot shut off valve and all manual gas valves not incorporating safety shutoff systems are to be placed in the off position prior to leak checking, by using the following methods:
By inserting a pressure gauge between the container gas shutoff valve and the first regulator in the system, admitting full container gas pressure to the system and closing the container shutoff valve.
Enough gas should be released from the system to lower the pressure gauge reading by 10psi. The
system should then be allowed to stand for 3 minutes without showing an increase or decrease in the pressure gauge reading.
For systems serving appliances that receive gas at a pressure of ½ psi or less, by inserting a water manometer or appropriate pressure gauge into the system downstream of the final regulator, pressurizing
the system with either fuel gas or air to test pressure of 9 in. water column and observing the device for a pressure change. If fuel gas is used as a pressure source, it is necessary to pressurize the system to full
operating pressure, close the container service valve, and then release enough gas from the system through a range burner valve or other suitable means to drop the system pressure to 9 in water column.
This ensures that all regulators in the system are unlocked and that a leak anywhere in the system is communicated to the gauging device. The gauging device should indicate no lose or gain of pressure for
a period of 3 minutes.
WHEN LEAKAGE IS DETECTED When pressure drops on the gauge or manometer is noted, all equipment or outlets supplied through the
system should be examined to see whether they are shut off and do not leak. If they are found tight, there
is a leak in the piping system. Where leakage is indicated, the gas supply at the meter shall be shut off, locked and slugged until the
necessary repairs have been made. CGS dispatch shall be notified ASAP.
29
Where leakage or other defects are located, the affected portion of the piping system shall be repaired or replaced and retested.
Matches, candles, open flames or other methods that could provide a source of ignition shall not be used.
PLACING GAS EQUIPMENT IN OPERATION
Gas utilization equipment/ appliances shall be permitted to be placed in operation after the piping system has been tested and determined to be free of leakage and purged in accordance with Section 406.7.2. of
the Florida Fuel Gas Code.
The Contractor will conduct leakage tests at one and a half times the gas delivery pressure for minimum time of 15 minutes on the existing gas house plumbing or as required by the City- County Building
Inspector. The pressure shall not decrease or increase during the test period. Other inspections and tests required by the City – County Building Inspector, codes, ordinances, or other legally constituted authority
shall be the responsibility of and shall be paid for by the Contractor.
Testing of the existing gas house piping plumbing shall be performed prior to connecting the new supply line.
TESTING
Testing will be in accordance with the Florida Building Code and the CGS leakage testing requirements.
CONTRACTOR'S CONVENIENCE TESTING Inspection and testing performed exclusively for the Contractor's convenience by CGS shall be at the
convenience of CGS if available and normal labor rates may be applicable.
SCHEDULE FOR TESTING 1. If applicable, testing shall be scheduled with the Building Department in advance.
2. At least 48 hours notice shall be provided to the Building Department, when permits and testing is required.
COOPERATION WITH THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT
Building Inspectors shall have access to the work at all times and all locations where the work is in progress. Contractor shall provide such access to enable the Building Department to perform its functions
properly. A. Revising schedule: When changes of construction schedule are necessary during
construction, Contractor shall coordinate all such changes with the Building Department as required.
B. Adherence to Schedule: When the Building Department is ready to inspect, but is prevented, correction notices fees will be paid for by the contractor

Any incompleteness of the work, all extra charges for testing attributable to the delay will be back-charged to the Contractor and shall not be borne by the CGS.
COORDINATION WITH CUSTOMERS The Contractor is responsible for coordinating access to private property with the homeowners. The
Contractor shall notify the property owner/ resident at least 14 days in advance of performing work. Prior to starting work at a specific location the Contractor shall schedule the work with the homeowner or
resident, as the customer’s presence during the meter upgrades/ change out work is required. The Contractor shall relight all pilot lights the same day after they install the new gas meter and regulator.
Contractor will confirm the regulator settings for the specific flow. No residence shall be shall be left out of gas service overnight. Each residence shall be reconnected and all pilot lights re-lit before the end of
the daily work day.

sod shall be taken up in rectangles, preferably 12-inch by 24-inch, shall be a minimum of 2-inches in thickness and shall be live, fresh and uninjured at the time of planting. It shall
be reasonably free of weeds and other grasses and shall have a soil mat of sufficient thickness adhering firmly to the roots to withstand all necessary handling. The sod shall
be planted as soon as possible after being dug and shall be shaded and kept moist until it is planted. After sod is installed it shall be maintained until it is rooted, which will
necessitate watering frequently
2.02 WATER FOR GRASSING
A. The water used in the sodding operations may be obtained from any approved spring, pond, lake, stream or municipal water system. The water shall be free of excess and
harmful chemicals, acids, alkalies, or any substance which might be harmful to plant growth or obnoxious to traffic. Salt water shall not be used.
PART 3 - EXECUTION
3.01 PREPARATION OF GROUND
A. The area over which the sod is to be placed shall be scarified or loosened to a suitable depth and then raked smooth and free from rocks or stones. Where the soil is sufficiently
loose, the Owner's Representative, at his discretion, may authorize the elimination of ground preparation.
3.03 PLACING SOD
A. The sod shall be placed on the prepared surface, with edges in close contact and shall be firmly and smoothly embedded by light tamping with appropriate tools.
B. Where sodding is used in drainage ditches, the setting of the pieces shall be staggered
so as to avoid a continuous seam along the line of flow. Along the edges of such staggered areas, the offsets of individual strips shall not exceed 6-inches. In order to
prevent erosion caused by vertical edges at the outer limits, the outer pieces of sod shall be tamped so as to produce a featheredge effect.
C. On steep slopes, the Contractor shall, if so directed by the Owner's Representative,
prevent the sod from sliding by means of wooden pegs driven through the sod blocks into firm earth, at suitable intervals.
D. Sod which has been cut for more than 72 hours shall not be used unless specifically
authorized by the Owner's Representative after his inspection thereof. Sod which is not planted within 24 hours after cutting shall be stacked in an approved manner and
36
maintained and properly moistened. Any pieces of sod which, after placing, show an appearance of extreme dryness shall be removed and replaced by fresh, uninjured
pieces.
E. Sodding shall not be performed when weather and soil conditions are, in the Owner's Representative opinion, unsuitable for proper results.
3.04 WATERING
A. The areas on which the sod is to be placed shall contain sufficient moisture, as determined by the Owner's Representative, for optimum results. After being placed, the
sod shall be kept in a moist condition to the full depth of the rooting zone for at least 2 weeks. Thereafter, the Contractor shall apply water as needed until the sod roots and
starts to grow for a minimum of 60 days (or until final acceptance, whichever is latest).
3.05 MAINTENANCE A. The Contractor shall, at his expense, maintain the sodded areas in a satisfactory
condition until final acceptance of the project. Such maintenance shall include repairing of any damaged areas and replacing areas in which the establishment of the grass stand
does not appear to be developing satisfactorily.
B. Replanting or repair necessary due to the Contractor's negligence, carelessness or failure to provide routine maintenance shall be at the Contractor's expense. Replanting
necessary due to factors determined to be beyond the control of the Contractor shall be paid for under the appropriate contract pay items.
PART 4 - MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT
4.01 MEASUREMENT
A. The quantity of Sodding for which payment will be made shall be the actual number of units measured in place and accepted. The units measured shall be as listed in the Bid
Schedule. If a payment item for Sodding is not specifically included in the Bid Schedule, the quantity for which payment will be made shall be the quantity required to complete
the work.
4.02 PAYMENT A. Payment for Sodding shall be made at the prices stated in the Bid Schedule. If a
payment item for Sodding is not specifically included in the Bid Schedule, payment for the work specified in this Section shall be included in the several unit and lump sum prices
for all applicable items of work.

INSTRUCTIONS – EVALUATION
Gas System Services 6 ITB #36-15
i.21 EVALUATION PROCESS. Bids will be reviewed by Purchasing and representative(s) of the respective department(s). The City staff may or may not initiate discussions with bidders for
clarification purposes. Clarification is not an opportunity to change the bid. Bidders shall not initiate discussions with any City employee or official.
i.22 PRESENTATIONS/INTERVIEWS. The bidder must provide a formal presentation/interview upon request.
i.23 CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION AND AWARD. The City evaluates three categories of information: responsiveness, responsibility, and price. All bids must meet the following
responsiveness and responsibility criteria.
a) Responsiveness. The City will determine whether the bid complies with the instructions for
submitting bids including completeness of bid which encompasses the inclusion of all required attachments and submissions. The City must reject any bids that are submitted
late. Failure to meet other requirements may result in rejection.
b) Responsibility. The City will determine whether the bidder is one with whom it can or should
do business. Factors that the City may evaluate to determine "responsibility" include, but are not limited to: excessively high or low priced bids, past performance, references
(including those found outside the bid), compliance with applicable laws-including tax laws, bidder's record of performance and integrity - e.g. has the bidder been delinquent or
unfaithful to any contract with the City, whether the bidder is qualified legally to contract with the City, financial stability and the perceived ability to perform completely as specified. A
bidder must at all times have financial resources sufficient, in the opinion of the City, to ensure performance of the contract and must provide proof upon request. City staff may
also use Dun & Bradstreet and/or any generally available industry information. The City
reserves the right to inspect and review bidder’s facilities, equipment and personnel and
those of any identified subcontractors. The City will determine whether any failure to supply information, or the quality of the information, will result in rejection.
c) Price. We will then evaluate the bids that have met the requirements above.
i.24 COST JUSTIFICATION. In the event only one response is received, the City may require that the bidder submit a cost proposal in sufficient detail for the City to perform a cost/price analysis to
determine if the bid price is fair and reasonable.
i.25 CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS AND ACCEPTANCE. Bidder must be prepared for the City to
accept the bid as submitted. If bidder fails to sign all documents necessary to successfully execute the final contract within a reasonable time as specified, or negotiations do not result in an
acceptable agreement, the City may reject bid or revoke the award, and may begin negotiations with another bidder. Final contract terms must be approved or signed by the appropriately
authorized City official(s). No binding contract will exist between the bidder and the City until the City executes a written contract or purchase order.
i.26 NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD. Notices of the City’s intent to award a Contract are posted to Purchasing’s website. It is the bidder’s responsibility to check the City of Clearwater’s
Purchasing website at http://www.myclearwater.com/apps20/cityprojects/invitationtobid.aspx to

Contractor’s intent or ability to perform, the City may demand that Contractor give a written
assurance of its intent and ability to perform. In the event that the demand is made and no written assurance is given within five (5) calendar days, the City may treat this failure as an
anticipatory repudiation of the Agreement.
S.18 REMEDIES. The remedies set forth in this Agreement are not exclusive. Election of one remedy will not preclude the use of other remedies. In the event of default:

b. The City may purchase the services required under the Agreement from the open market, complete required work itself, or have it completed at the expense of Contractor. If the cost of
obtaining substitute services exceeds the contract price, the City may recover the excess cost by: (i) requiring immediate reimbursement to the City; (ii) deduction from an unpaid
balance due to Contractor; (iii) collection against the proposal and/or performance security, if any; (iv) collection against liquidated damages (if applicable); or (v) a combination of the
aforementioned remedies or other remedies as provided by law. Costs includes any and all, fees, and expenses incurred in obtaining substitute services and expended in obtaining
reimbursement, including, but not limited to, administrative expenses, attorneys’ fees, and costs.

remedies provided herein or by law or in equity, or the acceptance of, or payment for, any services hereunder, will not release the other party of any of the warranties or other obligations of

SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Approve a transaction with B and H Police Supply (Merritt Island, FL) for the trade in of
twenty-one KAHR PM9 firearms, in a credit amount of $6,300, in exchange for twenty-one
Glock, Model 42 firearms and related accessory items. (consent)
SUMMARY:
In 2011, the Police Department purchased twenty-one KAHR PM9 firearms as replacements
for the Department’s Smith and Wesson, model 642 revolvers. These firearms are principally
assigned to detectives in undercover capacities.
Shortly after purchasing these firearms, Police Department personnel began experiencing
mechanical problems with the weapons. The Police Department’s Training Unit worked
closely with the KAHR representative to resolve these concerns, and it initially appeared that
the issues had been corrected.
However, the mechanical difficulties have persisted; and the Police Department’s Support
Services Division has exhausted all available options to resolve concerns relating to the
weapons.
The Department’s Training Unit, in conjunction with the Criminal Investigations Division’s
Special Investigations Section, jointly recommends a transition to the Glock, Model 42 (.380
caliber) firearm.
The transition to the Glock, Model 42 would be facilitated by B and H Police Supply of Merritt
Island, Florida.
B and H Police Supply will accept twenty-one of the Clearwater Police Department’s KAHR
PM9 firearms in trade for twenty-one Glock, Model 42 firearms. Under the terms of the
transaction, B and H Police Supply will provide the Police Department with a $300.00 credit for
each KAHR PM9 firearm. The purchase price of the twenty-one Glock Model 42 is $285.00
each.
Additional costs associated with this transaction are the purchase of night sights (Truglo
Tritium Set at $48.00 per firearm) and a clip that is affixed to the firearm for concealed carry
(Technaclip at $19.80 per firearm). The combined price of the Glock Model 42 with the
additional associated costs is $352.80 each.
Page 1 City of Clearwater Printed on 5/6/2015
File Number: ID#15-1250
Total purchase price for twenty-one Glock Model 42 is $7,408.80. This cost is offset by the
trade in of twenty-one KAHR PM9 by $6,300.00.
The remaining $1,108.80 of the transition purchase will be funded through the Criminal
Investigations Division Operating Budget for the current fiscal year.
City Purchasing Policy, Section 6: Purchase Requisition, VI. Trade-in or Replacement, states,
"Trade-ins valued greater than $5,000 must be approved by the City Council prior to actual
trade."
APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT:
Funds are available in cost code 0010-01129-550400-521-0000, Criminal Investigations
Division Operating Budget, to fund this contract.

Drainage Easement To Remain
Cover Memo
City of Clearwater City Hall
112 S. Osceola Avenue
Clearwater, FL 33756
File Number: ID#15-1205
Agenda Date: 5/7/2015 Status: City Manager ReportVersion: 1
File Type: Action ItemIn Control: Fire Department
Agenda Number: 10.1
SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Local Mitigation Strategy developed for Pinellas County and adopt Resolution
15-10.
SUMMARY:
The purpose of the Local Mitigation Strategy is to establish an ongoing process that will make
hazard mitigation part of the daily functioning of the entire community. The Local Mitigation
Strategy serves as a bridge between local governments’ growth management plans, the
county comprehensive emergency plan, land development regulations, and relevant
ordinances and codes such as those for floodplain management.
Most of the burden of recovering from a disaster falls squarely on the shoulders of local
government. A major disaster can bring extraordinary hardship to citizens, devastate the
economic base, and diminish its quality of life for years to come. If hardships seen in other
parts of the country can be avoided by making smarter decisions before the disaster, the best
interest of our citizens, businesses and communities will be served.
The objective of the Local Mitigation Strategy is to develop a blueprint or guide intended to
provide a unified and consistent course of action needed to eliminate or reduce the impact of
disasters that threaten Pinellas County and its municipalities.
The current Local Mitigation Strategy is a 5-year update. The original was adopted in 1999,
and comprehensive updates were completed in 2004 and 2009.

County Board of County Commissioners and by the municipalities; and
WHEREAS, by adopting this strategy, the unincorporated and incorporated areas of Pinellas County will be establishing the frame work for future mitigation efforts and
post disaster redevelopment and reducing recovery time; now therefore,

CLEARWATER, FLORIDA:
Section 1. That the City of Clearwater, Florida approves and hereby adopts the
Local Mitigation Strategy developed for Pinellas County.

BASIC PLAN
Background
The nation and the State of Florida can no longer afford to
bear the extraordinarily high human and economic costs
of disasters. All levels of government must take steps to
decrease the vulnerability of their citizens, businesses,
infrastructure, and institutions to the impact from these
events. Every Florida community will always be
vulnerable to hurricanes, other natural disasters,
technological hazards, and man-made emergencies.
However, the state’s counties and municipalities do not
have to remain unnecessarily vulnerable to the
consequences of these events. The development of a
community-wide local mitigation strategy is a good first
step in the effort to reduce or eliminate the costs of
disasters and plan for an organized and timely post-
disaster redevelopment.
The purpose of the Local Mitigation Strategy is to establish an ongoing process that will make
hazard mitigation part of the daily functioning of the entire community, including both public
and private sectors and our residents themselves. The Local Mitigation Strategy serves as a
bridge between local governments’ comprehensive growth management plans, the county
comprehensive emergency management plan, land development regulations, and relevant
ordinances and codes such as those for floodplain management. It may also fulfill some of the
requirements of Florida Statutes Chapter 163, “Comprehensive Growth Management Plan.” This
strategy integrates mitigation initiatives established through various policies, programs, and
regulations into a single stand- alone working document.
In early 1998, The Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA) now the Department of
Economic Opportunity (DEO) requested that Pinellas County and its municipalities develop a
unified, community-wide local mitigation strategy. Their request was aimed at controlling the
skyrocketing costs of disasters. Most of the burdens of recovering from a disaster fall squarely
on the shoulders of local government. A major disaster can bring extraordinary hardship to
citizens, devastate the economic base, and diminish its quality of life for years to come. Recent
events, such as the storms of the 2004 hurricane season as well as Hurricane Katrina (2005),
Wilma (2005) and Ike (Texas 2008) demonstrate the need to plan ahead and mitigate potential
impacts wherever we can. If we can avoid the hardships we have seen in other parts of the
country by making smarter decisions before the disaster, we will have served the best interest
of our citizens, businesses and communities.
In addition, disaster events create enormous pressure for local government to take action, and
that action must be taken quickly. Therefore, it is critical to rebuild communities in ways that
will guarantee that the same destruction and hardship will not be repeated in future disasters.
In order to make those critical decisions after a disaster, you must have a plan or “blueprint” to
guide decision-makers in those difficult times.
Basic Plan Page 2
The purpose of the local mitigation strategy is to develop a “blueprint” or guide intended to provide
a unified and consistent course of action needed to eliminate or reduce the impact of disasters that
threaten Pinellas County and its municipalities. This strategy was originally developed in
accordance with the Florida Department of Community Affairs publication, The Local Mitigation
Strategy: A Guidebook for Florida Cities and Counties, and other applicable guidance promoted by
the Department of Community Affairs (DCA), the Florida Division of Emergency Management
(DEM) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).Pinellas County Local Mitigation S n
The Department of Community Affairs, through a contractual agreement with Pinellas County as
grantee, provided the original grant funding for this effort in 1998. Municipal participation in the
process was funded through subcontract agreements between Pinellas County and those
municipalities that voluntarily agreed to produce a single, unified Local Mitigation Strategy.
In addition to county and municipal government representation, the local mitigation strategy
process included a broad range of private and public sector interests including representatives
from the regional planning council, chambers of commerce, public utilities, health care, public
transportation, community associations, the insurance industry, business contingency planners,
volunteer and community-based organizations, construction industry, and education.
At the inception of the workgroup, it decided to be divided into two groups, voting members and
non-voting members. The voting members were the twenty-three (23) municipalities which
officially committed to the process via their subcontract with Pinellas County and the Pinellas
County Planning Department. The non-voting members were the remaining thirty-one (31)
partners from the private and public sectors, who agreed to participate to share their insights and
recommendations on the topics relevant to their areas of expertise.
The workgroup conducted its first meeting on March 11, 1998. Over the ensuing fifteen months,
a total of twenty-two (22) meetings took place to produce the deliverables required by contract.
Pinellas County and its municipalities developed and adopted a unified Local Mitigation Strategy
in 1999. By developing the Local Mitigation Strategy, it was hoped Pinellas County could
increase the resiliency of the community to the disruption and hardship of disasters and attempt
to reduce the potential and actual costs of their impact.
The State of Florida requires an annual update of the countywide LMS. This update process
focused on the revision of the risk assessment, the identification of accomplishments and the
update of the initiatives or projects list. Through its regular quarterly meetings, the county and its
municipalities encouraged participation in the ongoing mitigation initiatives at the local level.1
1 Requirements - The Florida Division of Emergency Management (DEM) and the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) define the local mitigation strategy requirements. The State requires that the Local Mitigation Strategy
will provide the processes for application, project selection, and distribution of funds under the Hazard Mitigation Grant
Program. Under Administrative Rule 9G-22, the Local Mitigation Strategy Workgroup must meet several new conditions
to maintain compliance. These requirements are:
1. No later than the last working weekday of each January, the Chairperson of the Board of County Commissioners shall
submit to the Florida Division of Emergency Management, a list of the members of the Local Mitigation Strategy
Workgroup and its designated chairperson and vice-chairperson.
2. The Workgroup shall include, at a minimum, representatives from various agencies of county government,
representatives from all interested municipalities in the county, and representatives from interested private and civic
organizations, Native American tribes or organizations, trade and commercial support groups, property owners
associations, water management districts, regional planning councils, independent special districts, and non-profit
groups. The county shall submit documentation that indicates that, within the preceding year, it has issued a written
invitation to each group as specified above in #2.
Basic Plan Page 3
The 2004 Update of the Pinellas LMS
In 2004 Pinellas County completed the first comprehensive update of the countywide Local
Mitigation Strategy prompted by new requirements of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000. This
update incorporated new risk assessments based on a National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)
Flood Study (conducted in 2002), the hurricane evacuation study update (2000), the hazardous
material facility inventory (2004), and hazards modeling using the The Arbiter Of Storms (TAOS)
model. Appendix 4 (Local Mitigation Strategy Goals and Objectives) and Appendix 5 (Policies and
Ordinances) were updated by the local governments identifying the adopted goals, objectives and
policies within their Local Government Comprehensive Plans (LGCPs) and Land Development
Regulations (LDRs) and the relevant sections of the Evaluation and Appraisal Reports (EARs)
submitted to the Florida Department of Community Affairs. Vulnerabilities including repetitive
loss properties and critical facilities inventories were updated and mapped using Geographic
Information System (GIS) technology. In addition, the Appendix 9 Mitigation Initiatives and
Appendix 10 Accomplishments were discussed and updated based on consensus of local
priorities.
Following the LMS Update in 2004, all 25 jurisdictions incorporated the hazard identification and
the risk assessment into their local government comprehensive plans including the goals and
policies of the Future Land Use, Coastal and Conservation, Parks and Recreation, Infrastructure and
Transportation Elements (See Appendix 5) through the Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR)
process. Mitigation initiatives and projects identified were incorporated into Capital Improvement
Programs (CIPs) including stormwater management projects, transportation improvements and
land acquisition projects (floodplain and wetland protection). The 2009 hazard identification and
risk assessment in this updated LMS will also be incorporated into the Pinellas County Post-
Disaster Redevelopment Plan (PDRP), a project recommended by the LMS and currently under
development.
In addition and probably most visibly, publically-owned critical facilities (such as fire stations, law
enforcement facilities and county/municipal buildings which required strengthening, hardening
and/or floodproofing) identified and prioritized for funding, were included in the jurisdictions’
Capital Improvement Programs or applications were made for mitigation funding following the
2004 Hurricane Season. Jurisdictions have used the LMS as a tool to better identify these
mitigation projects, specifically hardening and strengthening of critical infrastructure. Many of
these facilities are included in the ranked projects (Appendix 9) or, if completed, in Appendix 10.
Many of the mitigation actions are implemented through land development regulations including
zoning and building codes, subdivision regulation, site reviews, and permitting processes within
each jurisdiction. For example, the siting of critical facilities such as hospitals, skilled nursing
facilities and large Assisted Living Facilities (ALFs) is restricted in hurricane vulnerable zones
consistent with state, regional and county plans. Increased density within the Coastal High Hazard
Area (CHHA) is prohibited in coastal communities as are new mobile home developments within
3. The Local Mitigation Strategy Workgroup shall be charged with the responsibilities of designating a Chairperson and
Vice-Chairperson; developing and revising the Local Mitigation Strategy as necessary; coordinating all mitigation
activities within the County; setting an order of priority for local mitigation projects, and submitting an annual LMS
update to the Florida Division of Emergency Management by the last working weekday in January of each year. The
update shall include changes to the hazard assessment, project priority list, critical facilities list, repetitive loss list, and
revisions to all maps.

the floodplain. Floodplain management regulations identified in local ordinances are enforced
through the local site plan review, permitting, and code enforcement.
As part of the planning process, the LMS Committee identifies current plans, programs,
policies/ordinances, and studies/reports that will augment or help support mitigation planning
efforts (Appendix 5). The LMS Work Group will be the mechanism for ensuring that entities
integrate hazard mitigation into its future planning activities. The LMS Vice Chair will continue to
ensure that policies, programs and mitigation actions are consistent between the LMS Plan and the
Pinellas County CEMP. Further, all jurisdictional Emergency Operations Plans (EOPs) require
consistency with the County CEMP.
The 2009 Update of the Pinellas LMS
Many jurisdictions indicated that they reduced their Community Rating System (CRS) Class rating as
a result of adopting the 2004 LMS Plan. In 2009 jurisdictions had the option of including the
jurisdiction-specific Floodplain Management Action Plan in the adopted LMS. As described, local
government functions provide a myriad of methods in which to implement actions identified in the
mitigation strategy. In Florida, the required consistency of the Local Government Comprehensive
Plans (LGCP) and Land Development Regulations (LDRs) ensures consistency of federal (NFIP),
state, regional and local goals and policies. Others include, but are not limited to:

In a manner similar to the 2004 update to the Pinellas LMS, the 2009 update to the LMS plan was
incorporated into the update to the Pinellas County CEMP underway at this time. And, in similar
manner, the LMS Workgroup members will influence the deliberations and decisions of other
county and regional planning groups.
In 2008, Pinellas County, its municipalities and other mitigation partners including the regional
planning council, Pinellas Planning Council, water management district, utilities, health and social
service agencies, non-profit organizations, economic development agencies, private sector
representatives and others embarked on another comprehensive update of the Pinellas County
LMS.
This was an important opportunity to reassess our vulnerabilities – not just vulnerabilities to
natural hazards, but to technological and human-caused events as well. It is an opportunity to
incorporate the lessons learned from recent floods, wildfires, the unprecedented 2004 and 2005
hurricane seasons and the tragic events of September 11, 2001. This update of the LMS was
viewed as an opportunity to challenge ourselves to creating a safer community in these changing
times.
The 2009 LMS Update focuses on updating the data and risk analyses as well as addressing the
requirements identified in the most recent FEMA guidance (Local Multi-Hazard Mitigation
Planning Guidance, July 1, 2008) specified under 44 CFR §201. According to the guidance, the
most successful of mitigation plans – where practical, meaningful mitigation actions resulted –
have two common elements:
1. Comprehensive risk and capability assessments that form a solid foundation for
decision making; and
Basic Plan Page 6
2. Participation by a wide range of stakeholders who play a role in identifying and
implementing mitigation actions.
These priorities were reflected in the planning process, evaluation and revision of the Pinellas
County LMS in 2009.
The 2015 Update of the Pinellas LMS: The Planning Process: Organizing to
Prepare the Plan
In 2014, Pinellas County, its municipalities and stakeholders once again embarked on a
comprehensive update of the Local Mitigation Strategy. The county and its partners recognize that
the planning process is as important as the plan itself. Therefore, it documents the planning
process including how the plan was prepared and updated, who was involved in the process and
how the public was involved. Using the 10-step planning process identified in the FEMA
Floodplain Management Planning (CRS Coordinator’s Manual, 2013), members worked together
to enhance the planning process and strengthen the overall multi-jurisdictional mitigation
strategy.
The local mitigation strategy planning process is critical in the creation of the LMS. The process
defines not only who should be involved, but how the process is going to work, and an
understanding of how the process facilitates the production of the final product. With the
inception of Administrative Rule 9G-22, the LMS Workgroup has re-defined itself and its
methodology to meet the intention of the rule and new federal guidelines.
STEP 1: THE PLANNING ORGANIZATION
The development of a mitigation strategy requires the involvement of representatives from the
public, private, and governmental sectors. Therefore, every attempt has been made to include the
following entities in the workgroup membership:
• Representatives from Pinellas County and its 23 Municipal planning and/or code
enforcement or building departments, emergency management services, environmental
protection and public information departments2;
• State Agencies (Cooperative Extension Service, Department of Health, Florida Division of
Emergency Management Regional Coordinator);
• Private utilities (Duke Energy, Clearwater Gas, etc.);
• Businesses, (Health Care, Business Contingency Planners, and the Hotel/Motel
Industry, etc.);
• Educational (Eckerd College, St. Pete College, and Pinellas School Board);
• Civic Organizations
• Southwest Water Management District;
• Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council;
• Volunteer organizations, (Recover Pinellas, Regional COAD, Red Cross, Salvation
Army, Hospice, Habitat for Humanity);
• Private non-profit organizations (PARC, etc.);
2 Within each jurisdiction, there was an attempt to identify representatives who have community planning, code
enforcement responsibilities to include planners, building inspectors, environmental protection planners. In addition,
emergency management coordinators and Public Information Officers were to part of the team.
Basic Plan Page 7
• Surrounding county mitigation representatives (Hillsborough, Manatee, Pasco
counties) and CRS Coordinators, and
• Public including Pinellas County Neighborhood Association, CAC members, County and
municipal leadership programs.
Through the involvement of the members of the LMS Workgroup, the LMS was developed in
coordination with neighboring communities, local and regional agencies involved in hazard
mitigation activities, agencies that have development review authority, businesses, academia and
other private and non-private interests. Representatives are brought together to enhance the
Pinellas County LMS Workgroup. These additional stakeholders, as well as the public are welcome
to attend any meeting encouraging both a dynamic membership and participation of the
Workgroup. Meetings are noticed on County and municipal websites and online event calendars.
The LMS Workgroup elects a Chairperson and Vice-Chairperson at its regular annual meeting in
January of each year. The Workgroup voted to meet at least every quarter in a central location
with additional meetings to be scheduled as the workload dictates. In order to complete the 5-
year update of the LMS in 2014-15, the LMS Workgroup met monthly from January 2014 to
November 2014. The quarterly meeting schedule resumed in January 2015 augmented with
conference calls to address comments and recommendations from the State Division of
Emergency Management and FEMA. The meeting calendar is provided in Appendix 2 and reflects
the workgroup work through the development and the revision of the LMS.
The Pinellas LMS website (www.pinellaslms.org ) provides all meeting notices, agendas, attendees,
and minutes of the meetings. In addition it has been a valuable tool in updating and in some cases,
creating new sections of the Plan. Through the SharePoint section of the website, members can
update their projects and accomplishments, the departmental responsibilities and local goals,
policies, LDRs3 and mitigation programs. In addition, the website has a feature where the public
can weigh-in on the development of the strategy and provide recommendations and comments on
the risk assessment, goals and objectives, mitigation initiatives and public awareness programs.
Pinellas County has contracted with the Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council (TBRPC) when
assistance is required to update the study. TBRPC provided additional staff support for the 2004
and 2009 5-year comprehensive updates, as well as the 2015 update.
The representatives commit their time and available resources to develop a mitigation strategy that
would protect life, property, and the environment as well as contribute to the economic well-being
of the county. The implication of the Hazard Mitigation Planning and Hazard Mitigation Grant
Program (HMGP) Interim Final Rule is that each of the jurisdictions and representatives on the
workgroup must show participation in the planning process to qualify for HMGP, Pre-Disaster
Mitigation Program (PDM) and Flood Mitigation Assistance Program (FMAP) funding. The
definition of participation as determined by the workgroup is attendance at a minimum of 50% of
the scheduled meetings during the year. Each member signs in at each meeting for documentation
purposes.
Basic Plan Page 8
Subcommittees
Membership Committee mission: Review the organizational rules regarding LMS membership,
voting, and quorum and conflict mitigation.
LMS Goals Subcommittee mission: Review the goals and objectives in the LMS to ensure that they
reflect the current risk and capability assessment and provide a report to the workgroup for review
and comment. The workgroup recognized it may need to update its goals statement in recognition
of the recent changes of the Community Rating System (CRS) and National Flood Insurance
Programs.
Public-Private Coordination Subcommittee mission: Identify strategies to encourage participation
of the private sector including faith based organizations, non-governmental organizations and
private sector in the local mitigation strategy. Identify specific entities to receive invitations and
meeting notices.
Public Information/Communication/Outreach Committee mission: Identify and implement
strategies to encourage public participation in the LMS planning process. Solicit input on mitigation
strategies and priorities in the current economic climate. In addition, identify and implement
strategies to educate different target audiences about their risks and mitigation options
incorporating social media and electronic communications. A Mitigation Outreach and Public
Information Program was developed. The plan seeks to involve as many stakeholders and
interested citizens in the planning process as possible. The committee was charged with the task of
creating an overall strategy to expand participation in the planning process as well as to increase
awareness of mitigation opportunities. The plan is included as Appendix 7.
CRS/LMS Interface Committee mission was to review the 2013 CRS Planning Guidance to
incorporate the 10-point planning process into the LMS Update and identify where we can
strengthen the floodplain management programs and LMS.
Project Verification Committee mission: Review project applications and rankings for inclusion in
the LMS Project List (provided in Appendix 9). Meets annually or as needed and includes, at a
minimum the Chair and Vice Chair of the LMS Working Group.
LMS Meeting Schedule
Typically, LMS Workgroup meetings are quarterly. With the 2015 update approaching, the LMS
Committee switched to monthly meetings to accommodate reports from the several
subcommittees and discussions of their recommendations. In addition, presentations from
stakeholders and partners such as the National Weather Service, FDEM Statewide CRS
Coordinator, the Regional Domestic Security Task Force, etc. provided additional information to
representatives.
Quarterly meetings resumed in 2015 once the final adopted LMS was submitted to FEMA.
STEP 2: INVOLVING THE PUBLIC
In the initial phase of this LMS Update, several approaches were taken to solicit community
involvement in the development of the strategy. The approaches included sending letters to a
variety of organizations, associations, and businesses asking for their input and participation;
conducting county and city meetings and workshops on the topic of the LMS and mitigation;
Basic Plan Page 9
scheduling interviews and speaking engagements; and including mitigation issues on regional and
local governmental Website home pages.
There was a much greater reliance on electronic and online communications. Meeting reminders
and most communications are handled via E-Mail. The meetings are announced on the County
(Electronic) Calendar on the website (www.pinellas.org) and in numerous electronic newsletters to
citizens via email (see Appendix 7 examples of outreach including the countywide newsletter,
“Connections”). The county, as well as many of the municipalities, maintain government-access or
cable television stations which also identify meetings and locations on their events list. The Pinellas
County Communications Department held electronic Town Hall meetings, solicited input from
citizen focus groups and prepared videos focusing on the county-wide Local Mitigation Strategy,
flood insurance and mitigation for homeowners. The Pinellas County Economic Development
agency reached out to businesses and associations with key messages regarding the update of the
LMS, business preparedness (Continuity Planning) and resiliency. Other organizations including
the Pinellas County Cooperative Extension Office, Regional Planning Council, Agency on Bay
Management and National Estuary Program have spearheaded multi-jurisdictional collaborative
efforts to address sustainability and resiliency issues complementing local efforts at the grass
roots level.
Pinellas County and each municipality noticed and held public workshops to present the final plan
and hear public comments prior to the adoption of the LMS. In addition the draft documents as
well as the final FEMA approved document (pending adoption) were available in local public
buildings, libraries and on the website, www.pinellaslms.org with an ongoing opportunity for
online public comment. County and municipal websites linked to this site with a notice about the
current update and pending adoption of the LMS by the local government. (See Appendix 7 for
more detailed information)
STEP 3: COORDINATION
The LMS Committee representatives have responsibility to not only participate in the committee
and its subcommittees, but to also reach out in their community to “spread the message”, to
coordinate activities within the county and to bring back perspectives of their constituency. The
intent is for the representatives to contact agencies, organizations and their residents to collect
information related to hazards and mitigation activities, provide information regarding the LMS
and its update as well as offer these agencies and organizations an opportunity to be involved in the
planning effort. (See Appendix 7 for more detailed information)
STEP 4: ASSESSING THE HAZARD
One of the most important tasks required of the LMS Workgroup is to conduct, and maintain a
hazard identification and vulnerability assessment. The information provided by the assessment is
the foundation on which decisions about future mitigation initiatives are based. An analysis of both
natural and technological hazards is on-going as new information and technology evolves and
events occur. The hazard identification and vulnerability assessment data is gathered from FEMA,
National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National Weather Service,
the Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council (TBRPC); the National Hurricane Center SLOSH (Sea Lake
Overland Surge in Hurricanes) model; the Laser Infrared Detection and Ranging system (LIDAR); the
municipalities and their departments; and Pinellas County departments of Emergency Management,
Planning, Building, Information Systems, Public Works, Utilities, and Developmental Review
Services. The Hazards Analysis and Vulnerability Assessment relied heavily on GIS planning tools to
Basic Plan Page 10
identify vulnerable areas, populations and recognize geographic vulnerabilities of critical facilities
and key infrastructure.
It was discussed at length that the hazard analysis of the 2015 update of the Pinellas County LMS
should include the potential impact of sea level rise as a result of climate change. Investigation was
conducted to determine the status of the most recent research regarding the potential impacts of
climate change with a specific emphasis on sea level rise. The Committee heard several
presentations which provided historic information and new reports. It was decided to wait until
current regional collaborative efforts and local studies currently underway released their findings
and recommendations to incorporate into the hazards analysis, goals and objectives and mitigation
initiatives. It is hoped this will be accomplished prior to the next 5-year update of the LMS.
STEP 5: ASSESSING THE PROBLEM
This previous step assessed the hazards facing the community. This step quantifies the impact of
those hazards on the community. The LMS Committee collected population and demographic data
from the 2010 Census and American Community Survey (ACS) data, critical infrastructure and
facilities inventories, flood insurance data, building type/valuation from the property appraiser
data, historical damage and an estimation of potential future events,
This section also described the areas within the floodplain that provide natural functions including
wetlands, riparian areas, sensitive areas and habitat. This was tied to the community goals and
policies reflected in the local government comprehensive plans which provide a description of the
development, redevelopment and population trends.
STEP 6: GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
In 2009 a Goals and Objectives Subcommittee was tasked with the development of
recommendations for new goals and objectives. The Subcommittee and Workgroup decided to
follow the Federal Guidance and develop hazard-specific goals addressing the major hazards facing
the county: coastal flooding (storm surge, coastal erosion and wave action), inland and riverine
flooding, severe winds (hurricanes and tornadoes), hazardous material incidents, and security
hazards (terrorism, civil disruptions, etc.). In addition, an all-hazards goal was developed for those
mitigation objectives or actions which addressed a broader safety goal or more than one hazard. In
2014 the Subcommittee revisited the Goals and Objectives and made only minor adjustments to
specifically address sea level rise, as appropriate.
The LMS then focused on the identification and analysis of mitigation actions and addressed existing
and new buildings and infrastructure. The County followed the FEMA suggestion that the mitigation
actions be sorted into the following groups:
• Prevention
• Property Protection
• Public Education and Awareness
• Natural Resource Protection
• Structural Projects
This exercise was beneficial in that the workgroup then needed to reassess its own
goals/policies/LDRs, programs in light of the new LMS goals and objectives. It was then easier to
notice where the gaps may be in our mitigation actions, as well as to clearly identify our priorities
and challenges.
Basic Plan Page 11
STEP 7: POSSIBLE ACTIVITIES: MITIGATION OPPORTUNITIES AND INITIATIVES
The process of developing the local mitigation strategy culminated in the identification of
potential mitigation opportunities and initiatives. Each workgroup member is required to review,
evaluate, and analyze his or her current policies and ordinances regarding mitigation. The
information is then shared and compared with the other members of the workgroup. This allows
for the exchange of good ideas, accomplishments, and past experiences both successful and
unsuccessful. The process also identifies any inconsistencies between communities. The most
successful policies limit public expenditures in areas subject to repetitive damage from disasters;
protect critical facilities and infrastructure; preserve, restore and enhance natural resources that
can mitigate hazards; encourage economic diversification as protection from the loss of any one
asset; encourage structural retrofitting, property acquisition and relocation; and identify
procedures to expedite post-disaster recovery and permitting.
Because of the education gained from this process, the workgroup is better prepared to determine
the future mitigation initiatives that should be or need to be pursued. Some of the needed mitigation
initiatives require unified intergovernmental coordination and participation. Other initiatives can be
accomplished on an individual community basis.
STEP 8: AN ACTION PLAN
Objectives were identified for each Goal to specifically identify action items and are reflected in six
categories of mitigation activities:
Preventive – activities which keep vulnerability from getting worse. The use and development
of vulnerable areas through planning, land acquisition or regulation. This includes hazard
vulnerability mapping and data; open space preservation; floodplain regulations, coastal
setbacks; planning and zoning; Stormwater management; drainage system maintenance and
building codes.
Property protection – activities which are usually undertaken by property owners or the
community on a parcel by parcel basis, including relocation, acquisition, building elevation,
retrofitting, sewer backup protection and insurance.
Natural resource protection – activities which preserve or restore natural areas or the natural
function of the floodplain and watershed areas. These activities include wetlands protection,
erosion and sediment control, natural area preservation or restoration, water quality
improvement, coastal barrier protection, and environmental corridors.
Emergency services - activities taken during any emergency to minimize its impact. This
includes hazard threat recognition, warning, response operations, critical facilities protection,
and post disaster mitigation actions.
Structural projects – are those traditionally engineering/maintenance projects that protect
vulnerable populations and structures including seawalls, levees, Stormwater/drainage
improvements or maintenance, access restrictions, etc.
Public Information – activities which advise property owners and visitors about hazards, ways
to protect people and property from the hazards. These include maps, outreach projects, real
estate disclosure, technical assistance and education.
Pinellas County and each of the twenty-three (23) participating municipalities submit a list of their
prioritized mitigation initiatives. The initiatives are then placed on a consolidated county-wide list,
which is divided into the six categories relevant to specific goals and objectives.
Basic Plan Page 12
These mitigation actions were then evaluated using the STAPLEE method. This technique
identifies the following local conditions: Social, Technical, Administrative, Political, Legal,
Economic and Environmental. Actions are also evaluated using other criteria:
• Compatibility with the State Hazard Mitigation Plan and State Comprehensive Plan
• Compatibility with the Strategic Regional Policy Plan (SRPP)
• Compatibility with Local Government Comprehensive Plans
The new process and procedure for ranking submitted projects is identified Appendix 8. The
interactive form is available for LMS Workgroup participants on the website.
The philosophy of the workgroup was that each government would be encouraged to accomplish at
least one of their mitigation initiatives annually. To reach the goal of a disaster-resilient
community such planning and commitments will be required. Participants were encouraged to
identify their accomplishments in Appendix 10 and it was rewarding for local governments to
document the combined achievements of their concerted efforts.
STEP 9: ADOPTION OF THE STRATEGY
Pinellas County and each municipality notified and held a public workshop to present the final
plan and hear public comments prior to the adoption of the LMS. In addition the draft documents,
as well as the final FEMA approved document, will be available in public buildings including
libraries and on the website, www.pinellaslms.org with an opportunity for online public comment.
County and municipal websites linked to this site with a notice about the current update and
pending adoption of the LMS by the local government. (See Appendix 7 for more detailed
information)
STEP 10: IMPLEMENTATION, EVALUATION AND REVISION
The Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy serves as a guide for hazard mitigation activities on a
county-wide basis. The strategy is intended to be a dynamic document that will be updated
regularly.
Consistent with federal and state requirements, the LMS Workgroup will meet to update and
review the effectiveness of the local mitigation strategy quarterly and will submit annual LMS
updates to the Florida Division of Emergency Management no later than the last working weekday
of each January. This update follows an annual review of the plan by the LMS Committee. The LMS
Chair will be responsible for monitoring the plan on an ongoing basis. If by email or other
communication, the LMS Chair receives information to warrant a meeting, then a special meeting
will be called to discuss the changes. Any workgroup member also may request a special meeting.
Pinellas County Planning Department and the LMS Chair will coordinate scheduling and
notification of workgroup meetings. A minimum of thirty (30) days advance notice will be given
for annual meetings. As much advance notice as possible will be given for regular and special
meetings including conference calls or online webinars.
On an ongoing basis, new initiatives will be considered by the workgroup for inclusion into the
strategy. Completed initiatives, termed Accomplishments, will be removed from the Initiatives List
and detailed in the Accomplishments Listing. The new initiatives will be added as they are
identified, ranked and approved by the Workgroup. Every five years, or after any major change, the
Basic Plan Page 13
strategy will be resubmitted to municipal councils/commissions and to the Board of County
Commissioners for re-adoption.
Contents of the Plan
APPENDIX ONE: MULTI-HAZARD IDENTIFICATION & RISK ASSESSMENT
The Local Mitigation Strategy Workgroup conducts and maintains an analysis of Pinellas County’s
hazard vulnerabilities. The analysis includes a general geographic description, population and
housing estimates, economic indicators, transportation routes and methods, and threats from
natural and technological hazards. Captured in the documentation of each hazard analysis is a
brief history that includes information about any significant related events, the probability of the
specific hazard occurring in Pinellas County, the impact it would have, and an example to
illustrate the maximum threat. This Appendix was updated and significantly revised.
APPENDIX TWO: WORKGROUP MEMBERS
The local mitigation strategy workgroup is comprised of representatives from the public, private
and governmental sectors, in accordance with Administrative Rule 9G-22. Documentation that
such invitation has occurred will be included in each annual update of the plan and detailed in
Appendix Two. All members are encouraged to consistently attend the workgroup meetings and
there is an ongoing effort to solicit participation from both governmental and non-governmental
organizations.
APPENDIX THREE: MITIGATION STRATEGY CONFLICT RESOLUTION
Conflict resolution within the workgroup will focus on issues which are opposed by 50% or more
of the voting workgroup. Some items can be deferred for future evaluation. However, for items
that need immediate resolution, a majority vote will be required.
APPENDIX FOUR: GOALS & OBJECTIVES
The goals and objectives of the workgroup are to serve as guidance in the planning of future hazard
mitigation initiatives and are applicable to both pre-disaster and post-disaster efforts. The Goals
and Objectives were revised in the 2009 Update to include six (6) hazard-specific goals and one (1)
over-arching all-hazards goal. These include:
Become a more Disaster Resilient Community.
Minimize Coastal Flooding Losses in the Coastal High Hazard Area (CHHA) Coastal Storm
Area and Hurricane Vulnerability Zone.
Minimize Riverine or Inland Flooding Losses in multiple flood zones.
Minimize Severe Wind Losses in the County.
Minimize Losses from Hazardous Material Incidents.
Minimize Wildfire Losses in the Wildland Urban Interface areas.
Minimize Losses from Security Attacks.
Each goal identified objectives which fell into six (6) measures (Preventive, Property Protection,
Public Education and Awareness, Natural Resource Protection, Emergency Services, and Structural
Projects.). Goal 1 was revised to include an objective to research and collaborate to identify
adaptive strategies to address climate change in the next LMS Update, as appropriate.
Basic Plan Page 14
APPENDIX FIVE: LOCAL PROGRAMS, POLICIES AND CAPABILITIES
Pinellas County and each municipality evaluated and compared existing local policies and
ordinances regarding mitigation. Commonalities among jurisdictions were evident in floodplain
management, restrictions on expansion of infrastructure and building densities in the CHHA, and
compliance with or exceeding requirements established by the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA). This section required considerable input from the Workgroup members as a new
format (Excel Spreadsheet) was developed and recent legislation relating to public safety and
mitigation had required changes to the Coastal and Conservation and Future Land Use Elements of
the Local Government Comprehensive Plans (LGCPs).
APPENDIX SIX: LOCAL DEPARTMENTAL RESPONSIBILITIES IN MITIGATION
IMPLEMENTATION
Pinellas County and each of the municipalities identifies the local hazard mitigation functions that
are being practiced on a daily basis. The identification of these functions serves to complement the
evaluation of the policies and procedures that have been conducted. The performance of these
functions indicates that mitigation is a part of our daily operations. A new format for this section
was developed to facilitate multi-jurisdictional input.
APPENDIX SEVEN: COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION AND OUTREACH
To develop an effective mitigation strategy, partnerships between the private and public sectors
must be formed and maintained. Businesses and citizens need to understand the importance of
building disaster resilient communities BEFORE a disaster strikes. Stakeholders from a wide
variety of businesses and public and private non-organizations are always invited to participate, as
directed in Administrative Rule 9G-22.
In order to facilitate increase public and private participation in the crafting and maintenance of
the LMS as well as to increase public awareness of the importance of preparedness and
mitigation, an ongoing public outreach initiative, a strategy was developed and approved by the
LMS Workgroup. For this particular update to the plan, we set up a series of public focus groups
where input was solicited concerning mitigation goals, objectives and actions. This process will
be maintained and repeated for the next update to the plan.
APPENDIX EIGHT: PRIORITIZATION METHODOLOGY
Pinellas County and each municipality are responsible for submitting all of their mitigation
initiatives to the Workgroup annually. The Workgroup uses a prioritizing procedure that involves
the local representatives assigning points to 16 parameters describing their initiatives. These
scores are reviewed by the LMS Vice Chair and are used to rank the projects objectively.
APPENDIX NINE: MITIGATION INITIATIVES
The list of mitigation initiatives reflects all of the initiatives submitted by all participants including
the County, each municipality, regional entities and private non-profit organizations. These
mitigation initiatives are evaluated using the STAPLEE method. This technique identifies the
following local conditions: Social, Technical, Administrative, Political, Legal, Economic and
Environmental.
Basic Plan Page 15
If mitigation funds are made available to the Pinellas County area, the Workgroup would refer to
the Initiatives List and identify those that could be accomplished with the given funds. Next, the
governments of those identified initiatives would be asked if they were interested and prepared to
apply. Each entity must consider that it is likely that the applicant may need to provide some
matching funds.
The Initiative List will be updated each year as part of the annual review process. Initiatives that
have been completed are moved to the Accomplishments List. The Initiative List and any
prioritization procedures may also be updated following a major disaster event, a change in
funding sources, or as determined appropriate by the workgroup.
APPENDIX TEN: MITIGATION ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND SUCCESS STORIES
An accounting of completed projects detailed by jurisdiction and showing cost data, an estimate of
the total benefit and source of funding. The list of Mitigation Accomplishments does not include
ALL of the projects completed over the last 10. However, it does represent an impressive group of
success stories.
APPENDIX ELEVEN: POTENTIAL FUNDING SOURCES
Many potential funding sources exist for hazard mitigation projects. The workgroup conducted
research of the various state and federal grant programs, to become better educated about all
potential options. The findings of the research indicate that a variety of programs is only available
prior to a disaster, and others are only available following a disaster. Therefore, the workgroup’s
list of potential funding sources is divided into pre-disaster and post-disaster sections. If and/or
when a funding source is identified, the Workgroup will meet and decide, by majority vote, which
projects will be submitted. It is the goal of the Workgroup to continually survey programs for
potential sources of mitigation funding and alert participants.
APPENDIX TWELVE: CRITICAL FACILITIES
The Critical Facilities Inventory (CFI) Database for the county was updated and is available through
the county emergency management and regional planning council. The database itself is protected
under security laws and not distributed as part of the LMS to the general public.
APPENDIX THIRTEEN: REPETITIVE LOSS PROPERTY INVENTORY
A county-wide record of all of the Repetitive Loss Properties in Pinellas County was updated as of
January 2014. These parcels were geo-coded and mapped to illustrate repetitive loss area within
the county and its jurisdictions. The database itself is protected under privacy laws and not
distributed as part of the LMS to the general public.
APPENDIX FOURTEEN: RESOLUTIONS ADOPTING THE LOCAL MITIGATION
STRATEGIES
Federal law 44 CFR 201.6(c)(5) requires all participating jurisdictions to adopt the Local Mitigation
Strategy (LMS). A copy of the municipalities’ resolutions supporting mitigation programs and
initiatives in the county and adopting the Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy, as revised,
are filed here.
Basic Plan Page 16
APPENDIX FIFTEEN: LOCAL FLOODPLAIN MANAGEMENT PLAN AND ANNUAL REPORT
Local jurisdictions who have a floodplain management action plan to accompany the LMS plan can
file it in this appendix.
Conclusion
The benefits of developing and maintaining the Local Mitigation Strategy are apparent. The LMS
identifies the plans and policies, goals and objectives, the existing actions and proposed future
projects which will; hopefully, make our community safer.
The Workgroup has sought to expand its membership to include a broader scope of stakeholders.
There is an ongoing concerted effort to reach out to the public as well as to non-traditional players
in this effort. It is recognized that it will take a team effort to accomplish this task and that a key
component is the private sector, including businesses, retailers, the health care industry, the
private non-profits service providers, our colleges and universities, etc. A coordinated multi-
jurisdictional approach, the LMS also recognizes the need to reach out beyond the county limits to
adjacent counties and the existing regional partnerships, such as the regional planning council,
Regional Disaster Security Task Force (RDSTF) and Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC).
The Workgroup members committed significant time to update the sections relating to its
comprehensive plans, programs and local activities/departmental responsibilities. We felt it was
important to demonstrate each jurisdiction’s commitment to building a more disaster-resilient
community “everyday” and readiness to push forward with mitigation initiatives if federal funding
becomes available.
It is this commitment which has allowed for the Workgroup to work together to continue to
enhance this LMS Strategy and to provide the County and its jurisdictions with a clear blueprint
for mitigation efforts and guide for making our community a safer place to live and work.

APPENDIX 1: MULTI-HAZARD IDENTIFICATION AND RISK
ASSESSMENT
Overview
Pinellas County is vulnerable to the effects of a number of
different types of natural hazards. In varying degrees,
future meteorological, environmental, and geologic events
have the potential to cause human casualties, damage and
destruction to the built and natural environments, and
economic losses.
This Multi-Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment for
Pinellas County provides the foundation for the hazard
mitigation planning process. In order to minimize negative
impacts on lives, properties, businesses, and natural
systems, information about each natural hazard that may potentially threaten the county is
presented. This information informs the hazard mitigation planning process and the prioritization
of mitigation initiatives for the Local Mitigation Strategy (LMS).
The Multi-Hazard Identification and Vulnerability Assessment includes a description of the types of
hazards that may affect Pinellas County, their probability of occurrence, the geographic locations
that are vulnerable, the number of structures and population affected, and potential loss estimates.
This information, gathered from a variety of sources, provides the best available data for describing
and quantifying the potential impacts from natural hazards that may affect Pinellas County.
Figure 1- 1: Defining Risk
Defining Risk Assessment
Risk, for the purpose of hazard mitigation
planning, is the potential for damage,
loss, or other impacts created by the
interaction of natural hazards with
community assets. Hazards are natural
processes, such as tornados and
earthquakes. The exposure of people,
property, and other community assets to
natural hazards can result in disasters
depending on the impacts. Impacts are
the consequences or effects of the hazard
on the community and its assets. The
type and severity of impacts are based on the extent of the hazard and the vulnerability of the asset,
as well as the community’s capabilities to mitigate, prepare for, respond to, and recover from
events. (Source: FEMA, Local Mitigation Planning Guidebook, March 2013)

General Description of Pinellas County
Pinellas County is a peninsula located on the west central coast of Florida, bordered on the north by
Pasco County, on the south by Tampa Bay, on the east by Tampa Bay and Hillsborough County, and
on the west by the Gulf of Mexico (See Map 1-1). Pinellas County has the second-smallest land area
of Florida’s 67 counties, with 280 square miles in addition to another 334 square miles of water
surface area. The county has a total of 588 miles of coastline. Pinellas is the most densely
populated county in Florida, with 3,361 persons per square mile of land area. (BEBR, 2014)
TOPOGRAPHIC FEATURES
The elevation of Pinellas County ranges from mean sea level (msl) to 110 feet. The county is
divided into five subsections based on topography: the ridge, which generally runs in a north-south
orientation through the county with elevations between 40 and 110 feet; a sloping transition area,
with elevations between 10 and 40 feet; the flood plain, with elevations between zero and ten feet;
the barrier beach islands, with elevations between zero and ten feet; and the coastal filled areas,
that have elevations between zero and five feet.
Most of Pinellas County may be characterized as relatively flat, with only a five small areas that are
identified as having short, steep slopes. These areas are generally along creek banks (parts of
Possum, Bishop, and Curlew creeks in the northern part of the county and part of Booker Creek in
St. Petersburg), in addition to the western mainland shore from Clearwater Harbor to Belleair.
(Source: Conservation and Coastal Zone Management Element, Countywide Comprehensive Plan for
Pinellas County, PPC)
SURFACE HYDROLOGY: RIVERS, STREAMS, AND LAKES
The Anclote River is the only river that flows through Pinellas County. With headwaters in adjacent
Pasco County, the Anclote River crosses into Pinellas County along its northern border and runs
only a few miles before emptying into the Gulf of Mexico at Tarpon Springs. Along with its
importance as a natural resource, the Anclote River is also significant for tourism, as it runs through
the famed Tarpon Springs sponge docks.
There are numerous streams, creeks and drainage channels that run through Pinellas County. Of
these, the County has identified 25 creeks and canals that serve as major drainage features. The
National Inventory of Dams, a congressionally authorized database maintained by USACE
documents dams in the United States. In the National Inventory of Dams, Taylor Lake Dam is the
only privately owned dam along the McKay Creek. The Sawgrass Lake structure and Structure 551
on Lake Tarpon Canal, which are owned by the SWFWMD, and Lake Seminole Dam, owned by the
local government (Pinellas County), are identified in Pinellas County. There is an Emergency Action
Plan for Structure 551 on Lake Tarpon Canal (USACE, 2012). See Map 1-2 for Pinellas County Major
Drainage Features.
Prior to the urbanization, there were hundreds of lakes in Pinellas County, many that were
indistinguishable from marshes and swamps. To accommodate development, many of the lakes in
the urbanized areas of the county were landscaped, deepened, dredged, drained, or filled. Today,
there are still a number of lakes and ponds located throughout Pinellas County. Some of the larger
lakes include:
Lake Tarpon: Covering 2,534 acres in the northern part of the county, Lake Tarpon is the
county’s largest lake. Lake Tarpon is fed by groundwater and at the surface by Brooker Creek.
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Appendix 1 Page 1-3
Until 1967, the lake had a hydrological connection to Spring Bayou (eventually flowing into the
Anclote River) but was subsequently damned off by the US Army Corps of Engineers in order to
control saltwater intrusion into the lake. A controlled height canal is an outfall for the lake into
Tampa Bay near the City of Safety Harbor, which is used to periodically lower the water level of
the lake.
Lake Seminole: Formerly an estuary at the north end of Long
Bayou in west-central Pinellas County, Lake Seminole has a
surface area of 980 acres. The lake level is typically between 4 to
5 feet above mean sea level.
Lake Maggiore: Located in the southern part of the City of St.
Petersburg, Lake Maggiore covers 380 acres in size. Runoff from
surrounding developed areas adds silt and organics to the lake,
making the lake bottom a loose murky layer of mud and
decomposing organics up to six feet thick.
Other large lakes in the County include: Salt Lake, 220 acres; Lake
Del Oro, 75 acres; Alligator Lake, 77 acres; Lake St. George and
Lake Chautaugua, each about 50 acres.
Pinellas County proactively develops Watershed Management Plans (WMP) through funding from
the County’s Surface Water Assessment Fee, cooperative funding from SWFWMD and in some cases
other municipalities within the County. These plans, in most cases, develop an existing conditions
stormwater model the delineate drainage patterns in the watershed under certain storm events.
These analyses also develop boundaries of floodplains at a more detailed level than currently
available floodplain boundaries and are more representative of current conditions. The drainage
patterns are then further analyzed, with the help of historical information, to develop conceptual
projects that could reduce the flooding conditions within the watershed.
In addition to analyzing drainage patterns, these plans also evaluate the potential sources of
pollutants in the watershed and develop recommended projects and strategies to help reduce or
treat some of the pollutants. These WMPs are also utilized during the development of other projects
since the preliminary drainage analysis has already been completed in the particular watershed.
Pinellas County currently has WMPs for the following watersheds:
Allen’s Creek
Brooker Creek
Clearwater Harbor / St. Joseph Sound Watershed
Cross Bayou
Lake Seminole
Lake Tarpon
Long Branch
McKay Creek
Roosevelt Creek
Starkey Basin
The County is also working on a WMP for Joes Creek and is updating the Lake Tarpon WMP.

Appendix 1 Page 1-4
ISLANDS AND SIGNIFICANT HABITATS
There are a series of barrier islands in close proximity to the mainland coast. These islands extend
about 34 miles along the western coastline of the County. With a few exceptions (notably, Caladesi
Island and Anclote Key), all barrier islands are connected to the mainland by a series of 14
causeways and bridges. A few of the islands are publicly-owned and managed, such as Honeymoon
and Caladesi Islands, Mullet Key/Fort DeSoto Park, Anclote Key, and others. However, most of the
barrier islands are densely populated and completely built out. The barrier islands contain miles of
light sandy beaches, which are a key element in Pinellas County’s thriving tourist industry, and a
major contributor to the overall economy of the county. In addition to the barrier islands, Pinellas
County has invested in the mitigation and acquisition of large portions of environmentally sensitive
lands to protect these valuable resources. Map 1-3 provides a graphic of the significant habitat
locations, including parks and managed lands.
The wetland resources of Pinellas County provide a number of benefits. Freshwater and tidal
wetlands provide habitats for wildlife such as birds, mammals and reptiles, including some
endangered species. Because of their important function as a source of organic matter which
functions as the base of the detrital food chain, tidal wetlands provide habitat, breeding areas and
nurseries for commercial and recreational marine fisheries. Freshwater wetlands attenuate the
damaging effects of storm and flood waters during peak runoff by slowing and storing those waters,
then releasing them gradually. Coastal shorelines and uplands are buffered from the severity of
tidal surge during a storm by the adjacent coastal wetlands. (Natural Resource Conservation
and Management Element of the Pinellas County Comprehensive Plan, Pinellas County Planning
Department as staff to the Local Planning Agency for the Board of County Commissioners of Pinellas
County, Florida, Adopted March 2008)
Wetlands also function as a natural filtration system, cleansing storm water runoff before it enters
Tampa Bay, the Gulf of Mexico or other surface water bodies. Sedimentation of the down stream
waters is reduced by slowing the water velocity, allowing sediments to drop out of the water
column while in the wetland. Subsequently, pollutants that are attached to the sediments are buried
in the wetland soil. Excess nutrients and other chemicals may be filtered out of the water and soil
by the wetland vegetation, stored in their biomass (leaves, stems and roots) and buried in the
organic soil when the plants die. The associated birdlife and open vistas of wetlands provide
aesthetic beauty and visual relief from the urbanized landscape of Pinellas County. (Natural
Resource Conservation and Management Element of the Pinellas County Comprehensive Plan, Pinellas
County Planning Department as staff to the Local Planning Agency for the Board of County
Commissioners of Pinellas County, Florida, Adopted March 2008)
CLIMATE
The climate in Pinellas County is humid subtropical (Köeppen climate classification: Cfa),
characterized by warm, humid summers and mild winters. There is a definite rainy season which
generally lasts from June through September. During these four months, the county receives, on
average, about 60% of its average annual rainfall. “Dry” season, is a relative term, since the county
average rainfall for the October-May period is about 20 inches. However, rain events are much less
frequent in the dry season and rainfall intensity generally lower than in the rainy season. Snow
events are very rare in Pinellas County, though a dusting of snow was recorded on January 19,
1977, and small amounts of sleet and snow fell on December 23, 1989.
The 30-year (1891-2010) mean annual temperature for the weather station at Albert Whitted
Airport, located on the waterfront near downtown St. Petersburg, is 74.2 degrees Fahrenheit (°F).
The normal daily maximum temperature ranges from 65.9°F in January to 90.9°F in July. The
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Appendix 1 Page 1-5
normal daily minimum temperature ranges from 53.7°F in January to 77.0°F in August. The highest
daily maximum temperature recorded at St. Petersburg is 100°F (most recently on July 15, 2011).
The lowest daily minimum temperature recorded at St. Petersburg is 22°F on December 13, 1962.

Appendix 1 Page 1-8
Located nearly entirely on a peninsula, Pinellas County has the relatively warmer waters of Tampa
Bay and the Gulf of Mexico help to moderate cold temperatures in winter. Therefore, freezes are
rare, especially hard freezes or freezes of duration greater than a couple of hours. The daily
minimum temperature falls to 32°F or below an average of about once every three years at the
weather station in St. Petersburg. The longest streak of consecutive days where the minimum
temperature fell to 32°F or below is four days, On December 23-26, 1989. Another station near
Tarpon Springs, near the northern boundary records a daily minimum temperature of 32°F or
below an average of about 3 days per year.
Thunderstorms affect Pinellas County on a frequent basis, especially in the rainy summer months
(June through September). Pinellas lies at the western edge of an area that runs along Interstate 4
through Tampa, Lakeland, and Orlando where thunderstorms occur an average of 85 to 100 days
per year. These thunderstorms are significant because they often produce frequent lightning and
intense rainfall. On occasion, Pinellas County experiences damaging thunderstorm winds in excess
of 60 miles per hour and/or small hail, though these more intense events are not frequent.
POPULATION
Pinellas County is the sixth most populous county in Florida, with an estimated 926,610 permanent
residents. (BEBR, 2014) Pinellas County hosts an annual total of 5.5 million tourists throughout the
year. The current population density is 3,361 persons per square mile, making Pinellas the most-
densely populated county in Florida. The county’s population is projected to grow to around
945,000 by 2040 (BEBR, 2014). There are 24 incorporated municipalities within Pinellas County
including the largest city, St. Petersburg (pop. 249,700) and the smallest, the Town of Belleair Shore
(pop. 107)

FLOODING
Flood or flooding refers to the general or temporary
conditions of partial or complete inundation of
normally dry land areas from the overflow of inland or
tidal water and of surface water runoff from any
source. Floodplains are defined as any land areas
susceptible to being inundated by water from any
flooding source.
Although storm surge presents the potential for loss of life, a study conducted from 1970 to 1999
by the National Hurricane Center found that freshwater flooding accounted for more than half
(59%) of the tropical cyclone deaths in the United States. FEMA estimates that about 41 percent of
Florida is flood prone, which is the highest percentage of all 50 states. Because of the potential for
flood damage, Florida has the most flood insurance policies required by the National Flood
Insurance Program than any other state. More information about the number of policies in Florida
by community and Repetitive Loss Properties can be found in Appendix 13: Managing Repetitive
Loss Properties.
In Florida, several variations of flooding occur due to the effects of severe thunderstorms,
hurricanes, seasonal rain, and other weather-related conditions. The loss of life, personal property,
crops, business facilities, utilities, and transportation are major impacts of flooding. Floodwaters
present an additional hazard as a public health problem when they inundate drinking water
facilities, chemical and waste storage facilities, wastewater treatment facilities, and solid waste
disposal sites.
a. History
Fresh water flooding problems due to rainfall are evident in many sections of Pinellas County.
Prolonged periods of rainfall have shown increased potential for causing damage to property and
evacuation of residents due to flooding. This problem becomes more severe if the heavy rainfall
occurs at the same time as the astronomical high tide, which prevents much of the rainwater from
flowing through the drainage system into the Gulf of Mexico or Tampa Bay. Pinellas County has
experienced a number of damaging floods in recent history. The most significant are:
June 1974: During the period of June 22 through June 30, 1974, Pinellas County received
between 20 and 30 inches of rain. Damage to public and private property totaled more than
$20 million.
May 1979: Flooding occurred when 10-18 inches of rain fell in Pinellas County on May 8,
1979. The massive rain event led to three deaths in St. Petersburg. One woman drowned
when her truck was swept down a flooded street. Another woman and her 12 year old
daughter were sucked into a drainage ditch. About 200 people were evacuated from their
homes in Tyrone and St. Petersburg. 17.6 inches of rain fell in St. Petersburg during a 14
hour period. Shore Acres received 12.4 inches, while Seminole received 10.78 inches, and
Tyrone received 8.7 inches. Several roads and bridges were washed out. (The Evening
Independent, 8/9/1979 and the National Weather Service)

September 1979: During the months of August and September 1979, Central Florida,
including Pinellas County, experienced the most significant period of rainfall in over three
decades. In some areas, the two-month rainfall total was more than 40 inches.
September 1988: After a week of light to moderate rains, flooding began to occur county-
wide. Areas of Pinellas Park, Clearwater and Dunedin were hardest hit. 13.25 inches of rain
were recorded.
September 1997: Thirty-hour rainfall totals of 8 to 14 inches caused flooding of roads,
highways, homes, commercial buildings, low-lying areas and rivers over much of Pinellas
and Hillsborough Counties. In St. Petersburg, a 13 year old female was swept into a storm
drain while playing in floodwaters at a city park on 36th Avenue N. and Eighth Street at 7
pm EST. She was dragged into raging waters underground for 2 blocks before she emerged
and was rescued by firefighters. In St. Petersburg, floodwaters carried a 23 year-old woman
twelve blocks underground in a drain before she was dumped into a retention pond with
only minor injuries. Another woman was playing at Booker Creek under a wooden bridge
with two children when she lost her footing and was carried off by the fast moving flood
waters. The heaviest rainfall and subsequent flooding occurred over the cities of Gulfport,
Pinellas Park and St. Petersburg in southern Pinellas County. (National Climatic Data Center
Storm Events and the National Weather Service)
February 2006: The combination of tropical moisture flowing into a line of thunderstorms
and an approaching upper level disturbance allowed a train of intense thunderstorms to
repeatedly cross over parts of the Tampa Bay area on February 3, 2006. Between 8 and 11
inches of rain fell in roughly a five-hour period in a five-mile wide stripe extending from
Madeira Beach northeast through Pinellas Park, then across Old Tampa Bay to west Tampa,
including Tampa International Airport. The area of heaviest rain was so concentrated that
downtown St. Petersburg, less than 10 miles away recorded less than an inch of rain during
the same period. The torrential rains caused flash flooding in the areas where more than
eight inches fell. The flash flooding prompted the mayor of St. Petersburg to term the event
a "hundred year flood." In Lealman, an entire mobile home community was evacuated, and
at least 69 of the homes were flooded. A partial roof collapse was reported at a big box
store in St. Petersburg. Water pouring into the store washed out several cash register
stands and injured one employee as he was washed into the parking lot. Another roof
collapsed at Treasure Island. Hundreds of vehicles were stranded by the flood waters.
Total property damage was estimated at $2.0 million. Rainfall amounts measured in
Pinellas County include: Pinellas Park (Upper Highlands Canal): 11.17 inches. Saint
Petersburg/Clearwater International Airport: 8.20 inches Seminole: 7.01 inches Largo: 6.44
inches; Clearwater: 5.81 inches.
Nine (9) flooding events as a result of heavy rain were reported since the last update (between
06/01/2009 and 06/30/2014). Two of these events resulted in property damage (7/1/2009 and
6/6/2013) and one resulted in one death (6/24/2012).
In July of 2009, a trough of low pressure was dissipating across the area with high pressure
ridging across southern Florida. This kept west to southwest winds in place across the local
area and allowed for numerous thunderstorms with heavy rains and a tornado. Heavy rains
flooded roads in Tarpon Springs. One home on the 600 block of South Grosse Avenue was
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Appendix 1 Page 1-20
damaged as debris piled up in a nearby storm drain and caused flooding of three inches of
water into the home and $20,000 in damage.
In June of 2012, Tropical Storm Debby lingered for several days over the northeastern Gulf
of Mexico and caused high winds and heavy rain before making landfall near Steinhatchee,
FL on the 26th. A tropical storm warning was in effect for Levy, Citrus, Hernando, Pasco,
Pinellas, Hillsborough, Manatee, and Sarasota counties from 10 AM EDT on June 25th
through 8 PM EDT on June 26th. With the outer bands of Tropical Storm Debby, 11
confirmed tornadoes occurred on the 24th. Strong sustained winds prompted the closure of
the Sunshine Skyway Bridge. Heavy rain across the area caused flooding on several area
rivers, the most serious of which was on the Anclote River at Elfers. Additionally, coastal
flooding from onshore winds caused 3-5 feet of storm surge between Suwannee River and
Bonita Beach, flooding streets and homes and eroding beaches.
In Pinellas County, widespread frequent wind gusts of 39 mph or stronger were reported
on the 24th, the highest of which was a 56 mph wind gust at Saint Petersburg Albert
Whitted Airport on the morning of the 24th. Rainfall of at least 9 inches was reported across
the entire county, with the highest storm total rain total of 15.26 inches near the Palm
Harbor CoCoRaHS site. A total of 1,671 applications for individual assistance were filed,
totaling $900 thousand. This value is a gross underestimate of the total damage, but was the
best number available at the time. The tide gauge at Clearwater Beach measured a peak tide
of 5.43 feet MLLW on the afternoon of the 24th. Subtracting the predicted astronomical tide,
the calculated highest storm surge was 3.10 feet on the evening of the 24th. The tide gauge
at Saint Petersburg measured a peak tide of 4.87 feet MLLW on the evening of the 25th.
Subtracting the predicted astronomical tide, the highest storm surge was calculated as 3.56
feet late on the evening of the 25th. Significant street flooding was reported in Tarpon
Springs and Saint Petersburg. Along Dodecanese Boulevard in Tarpon Springs, street
flooding was up to the foundations of several businesses. In Treasure Island, Gulf Boulevard
between 107 St. South and Saint John’s Pass was flooded with cars stranded. In Clearwater,
waves were splashing over the seawalls. In Gulfport, water rose up to the bumpers of cars
and flooded streets. Damage to public beaches from erosion was estimated at $3M.
Heavy rain caused minor flooding in Indian Rocks Beach. A 71 year old man died after
suffering a heart attack while standing in less than a foot of water in his front yard and
could not remove himself from the water. The medical examiner determined that the cause
of death was drowning, with heart disease as a contributing factor.
Two other events occurred in 2013
On July3, 2013, easterly winds and deep moisture allowed for a sea breeze collision just along the
west coast of Florida, producing scattered to numerous thunderstorms. Some of the storms
produced damaging thunderstorm wind gusts, lightning strikes, and heavy rain.
Largo Police Department reported Belcher Road was closed from Ulmerton Road to 142nd Avenue
with an estimated 2 feet of water on the road. Additionally, an estimated 3 feet of water covered
Floral Drive and 36th Street Southeast. No damage, death or injury reported.
On September 1, 2013, deep moisture allowed for sea breeze thunderstorms to develop in the
afternoon. Some of these storms produced heavy rain and damaging lightning. Broadcast media
relayed a report of street flooding up to the bumpers of cars in Clearwater near East Bay Drive and
U.S. 19. No damage, death or injury reported.

b. Probability
Serious flooding (Listed as Flood, Flash Flood and Heavy Rain) has occurred 51 times in the past 30
years, with two incidents, May 8, 1979, and Tropical Storm Debby (2012) resulting in Presidential
Disaster Declarations. Although the drainage system has been greatly improved as a result of the
past flooding, there is potential for the situation to occur again during periods of higher than
normal rainfall. Based on past history, Pinellas County can expect heavy rainfall to cause flooding
1.7 times a year. Therefore, the probability for major flooding is considered to be high during any
given year.
c. Vulnerability
With the high probability of fresh water flooding and the continued development throughout
Pinellas County, both on low ground and high ground, the vulnerability of population and property
must also be considered as high. Historically, the older sections of Pinellas Park, Dunedin, St.
Petersburg, and Clearwater have shown a vulnerability to freshwater type flooding.
Please refer to Map 1-7 to view the compilation of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)
digital Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) and the 100- and 500-year flood zones.
Flooding can also cause public health impacts resulting from flood water contamination of water
supply, stormwater runoff, and debris. With the heat and humidity, flood damaged structures are
also vulnerable to mold and the associated health hazards.

d. Maximum Threat/ Extent
The maximum threat to Pinellas County of flooding would be a May 8, 1979 type of storm, which
deposited 10 to18 inches of rainfall across the county during a 12-hour period resulting in 4-6 feet
above ground flooding. This event would flood pre-FIRM non-elevated structures in the Special
Flood Areas (especially in the areas of repetitive loss) affecting more than 2000 families, hundreds
of businesses and approximately $3M in public infrastructure damage.

Appendix 1 Page 1-27
COASTAL FLOODING, TROPICAL STORMS AND HURRICANES
Coastal flooding is usually the result of a severe weather
system such as a severe thunderstorm, hurricane, or
tropical storm with high winds. Water driven ashore by
the wind, known as a storm surge, is the main cause of
coastal flooding.
The damaging effects to structures in the beach areas are
caused by a combination of higher levels of storm surge,
winds, waves, rains, erosion, and battering by debris. Sea
walls, jetties, and the beach areas are affected by coastal
flooding, and the loss over a period of time.
In Pinellas County, coastal flooding caused by storm surge from tropical storms/ hurricanes has
historically resulted in the greatest property damage and coastal erosion. In general terms, a
hurricane is a cyclone. A cyclone is any closed circulation developing around a low-pressure center
in which the wind rotates counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere (or clockwise in the
Southern Hemisphere) and whose diameter averages 10 to 30 miles across. A tropical cyclone
refers to any such circulation that develops over tropical waters. They act as a safety-value that
limits the build-up of heat and energy in tropical regions by maintaining the atmospheric heat and
moisture balance between the tropics and the pole ward latitudes.
As a developing center moves over warm water, pressure drops (measured in millibars or inches of
Mercury) in the center of the storm. As the pressure drops, the system becomes better organized
and the winds begin to rotate around the low pressure, pulling the warm and moist ocean air. It is
this cycle that causes the wind (and rain) associated with a tropical cyclone. If all of the conditions
are right (warm ocean water and favorable high altitude winds), the system could build to a point
where it has winds in excess of 155 miles per hour and could become catastrophic if it makes
landfall in populated areas. The following are descriptions of the three general levels of
development for tropical cyclones:
Tropical depression: The formative stages of a tropical cyclone in which the maximum
sustained (1-min mean) surface wind is < 38 mph.
Tropical storm: A warm core tropical cyclone in which the maximum sustained surface
wind (1-min mean) ranges from 39–73 mph.
Hurricane: A warm core tropical cyclone in which the maximum sustained surface wind (1-
min mean) is at least 74 mph.
Table 1- 8 displays the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale that is used to define and describe the
intensity of hurricanes.

Hurricane Hazards
The three major hazards produced by a hurricane are the storm surge, high winds and rainfall.
Storm Surge
Of the hurricane hazards, storm surge typically poses the greatest threat to lives and property
located within surge-prone areas. The more intense the hurricane, and the closer to perpendicular
its track is, in relation to the coastline, the higher the storm surge and resulting destruction will be.
Also impacting on the height of storm surge is the depth of the water along a threatened coastline.
Because of the high shoaling factor (shallow water and gradual slope of the Gulf bottom) off the
central west coast of Florida, Pinellas County will receive higher surges than those indicated in the
generalized Saffir/Simpson Hurricane Scale.
Map 1-8 presents the storm surge vulnerability of the county.
High Winds
High winds will render segments of the population vulnerable to the passing hurricane.
Throughout Pinellas County, the almost 100,000 mobile and manufactured homes will be unable to
withstand hurricane force winds. High winds will also have an impact on the timing of the
evacuation order, since they arrive at the coastline several hours before the eye of the storm makes
landfall. All evacuation activities must be completed prior to the arrival of sustained gale force
winds (40 mph with significantly higher gusts).
Map 1-9 presents the wind vulnerability based on the adopted Florida Building Code.
Rainfall
Since the structure of every hurricane is unique, there is no way to determine the rate and
distribution of the expected six to twelve inches of rainfall generally accompanying the storm.
However, it is known that the rainfall has only a minor influence on the storm surge water levels.
Rainfall, in itself, will not normally require the emergency evacuation of large numbers of residents
during the passage of a hurricane as does the storm surge. However, rain may cause the slowing of
traffic; it may sever evacuation routes which could significantly reduce the number of hours
available for the overall evacuation.
1. History
Because of their relatively high frequency and potential to cause widespread casualties and
property/infrastructure damage, hurricanes are the natural disasters that pose the greatest threat
to Florida and Pinellas County. While the last direct hit to Pinellas County from a major hurricane
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Appendix 1 Page 1-29
was in 1921, a number of tropical storms and hurricanes have affected the county throughout its
history.
In the 1920's, a time characterized by economic prosperity and growth in the resort areas of
Florida, the Tampa Bay area was just beginning to feel the effects of “Florida fever” when it
experienced its worst hurricane in over seventy years in October of 1921. The hurricane of 1921
produced a storm surge of 10.5 feet which was the highest recorded since the hurricanes of 1848.
Locally, it created both Longboat Pass (which now separates the City of Bradenton Beach and
Longboat Key) and Hurricane Pass in Dunedin. Passage Key, located between Egmont Key and
Anna Maria Island, before the storm, was the home to a fishing village and fresh water lake.
Following the storm and continuing today, Passage Key is a sand bar with little vegetation and a
National Bird Sanctuary. This was the last major hurricane (a category three on the Saffir-Simpson
Hurricane Wind Scale when it hit the coast) to actually make landfall in Pinellas County.
Pinellas County has experienced the effects (wind damage, beach erosion, etc.) from a number of
hurricanes since 1886. A total of seven hurricanes have affected Pinellas County within the last 25
years. They were Hurricanes Elena (1985), Opal (1995), Georges (1998), Gordon (2000), and
Hurricanes Charley, Frances and Jeanne (2004). In addition there were tropical storms Josephine
(2000), Gabrielle (2001), Faye (2008), Debby (2012) and Isaac (2012).
On Labor Day weekend 1985, Hurricane Elena threatened Pinellas County and approached within
80 miles of the coast. Evacuations in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida were of
unprecedented proportions. Almost 1 million residents and visitors were affected in the initial
evacuation orders in the Florida panhandle and coastal region of Alabama, Mississippi and
Louisiana. Then, as the storm turned and the warnings shifted, 10 additional Florida counties
including those in Tampa Bay were ordered to evacuate. The threat of Elena initiated an evacuation
which forced over 500,000 to leave vulnerable areas in the Tampa Bay region and seek shelter.
Many sought shelter in the homes of friends and relatives in inland areas of Florida and Georgia.
Others went to hotels and motels - filling every room (and lobby) in the state particularly along the
I-75 and I-4 corridors. More than 300,000 sought public shelter in the Tampa Bay Region alone -
one of the largest evacuations and shelter operations in U.S. history. After stalling off the coast for
two days, Hurricane Elena turned toward the Florida Panhandle again, forcing the evacuation of
thousands of coastal residents just returning after the earlier round of evacuations, ultimately
making landfall near Biloxi, Mississippi. Although it never made landfall, Pinellas County received
approximately $118 million in damages.
Hurricane Georges threatened Central and Southwest Florida in the end of September 1998. From
September 21st through the 30th, Hurricane Georges left a trail of destruction in the Caribbean
region and across the southern U.S. Gulf coast. As the Hurricane threatened the Keys and
Southwest Florida the potential threat to Pinellas County continued to develop. On Wednesday
September 23rd the County activated the Citizens Information Center to answer the flood of calls
from concerned citizens. On September 24th preparedness and response actions and planning
accelerated. A final meeting of the Disaster Advisory Committee was held at 9:30 AM. The County
EOC was partially activated at 11:00 AM. The Board of County Commissioners met in Emergency
Session at 11:30 AM and declared a State of Local Emergency and issued a Mandatory A Level
Evacuation, to be effective at 6 AM on September 25th. At 6 PM the National Weather Service issued
a Flood Watch and at 11PM the National Hurricane Center issued A Tropical Storm Warning. On
September 25th the State of Local Emergency became effective at 6 AM. County Offices and schools
were closed and 55 Public Shelters were opened with a total capacity of 83,560 spaces. As the
threat of Georges began to appear to lessen shelter operations were consolidated to relieve the load
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Appendix 1 Page 1-30
on first responders and management staff. By noon on the 25th of September the President of the
United States declared a State of Emergency for Florida. On September 26th the threat to West
Central Florida continued to lessen. Tropical Storm Warnings and Tornado Watches for Pinellas
County were canceled. The Mandatory A Level Evacuation Order was lifted and by noon the
Shelters were closed and the EOC deactivated.
The 1990's went down in history as an extremely costly and deadly decade of hurricane activity.
The last decade of the millennium brought Tampa Bay several flooding events including Tropical
Storm Josephine (1996) and the 1998 evacuation from Hurricane Georges (which did not ultimately
affect the region). Other areas of Florida and the Caribbean were not as lucky. Hurricane Andrew
struck the east coast near Homestead on August 24, 1992 and Hurricane Opal struck the panhandle
in 1995 - two costly storms. Hurricane Mitch (1998) made landfall in Honduras and killed tens of
thousands.
While Hurricane Andrew did not directly strike the Tampa Bay region, it did however, affect the
entire state in many ways. Only three other hurricanes in history, both category 5 storms - the
Labor Day storm of 1935, Camille in 1969 - were stronger than Hurricane Andrew1 when they made
landfall in the United States. It struck South Florida with a storm surge of over 16 feet and winds
which gusted over 175 mph. The scale of the disaster was enormous and the massive recovery that
ultimately ensued was of epic proportions. The damages were staggering - surpassing $50 billion –
affecting emergency management policies and procedures, insurance industry and land
development regulations (including the statewide building code).
On September 17, 2000 Hurricane Gordon moved northeast across the eastern Gulf of Mexico and
brought 30 to 40 mph sustained winds and 50 to nearly 70 mph tropical storm force wind gusts to
mainly coastal areas of Southwest and West Central Florida throughout the daylight hours of the
17th. Hurricane Gordon produced maximum storm tides above mean sea level of 4 to 5.5 feet along
the Pinellas and Hillsborough county coastlines. In Pinellas County, nearly a foot of water covered
coastal roads from St. Pete Beach to Clearwater. The Courtney Campbell Parkway, separating
Pinellas and Hillsborough counties, was closed for approximately 4 hours due to storm surge
flooding. Beach erosion was minor to moderate over Pinellas County. In Pinellas County, 51 single-
family homes, 32 mobile homes, 27 multi-family homes and 24 businesses sustained minor wind or
water damage. Estimated cost of the damage in Pinellas County was $500,000 dollars.
Tropical Storm Gabrielle began to affect the Southwest Florida coast during the pre-dawn hours of
September 14th, 2001 with sustained winds of 40 to 50 mph along the coasts of Sarasota, Manatee,
Charlotte and Lee counties. By sunrise, high end tropical storm force wind gusts of 60 to 70 mph
were common from the mouth of Tampa Bay south to Charlotte Harbor. Gabrielle continued to
move northeast and made landfall, south of Venice, in Sarasota County, between 6:45 and 7:00 a.m.
EST. In Pinellas and Hillsborough counties, northeast wind gusts of 50 to 65 mph were common
across most of Tampa Bay and the southern portions of the counties. Storm tide values of up to
three feet were common on the Pinellas county side (west) of Tampa Bay, from the Gandy Bridge
south to Pinellas Point. Most wind damage and flooding were minor across Pinellas and
Hillsborough counties. The most significant impact for Pinellas County was overhead power
distribution lines brought down by falling tree limbs particularly in the City of St. Petersburg.
In 2004, the state of Florida was hit by an unprecedented four (4) hurricanes: Charley, Frances,
Ivan, and Jeanne.

Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Appendix 1 Page 1-31
August 9 – 14, 2004: Hurricane Charley strengthened rapidly just before striking the southwestern
coast of Florida as a Category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale. Charley was the
strongest hurricane to hit the United States since Andrew in 1992 and, although small in size, it
caused catastrophic wind damage in Charlotte County, Florida. Serious damage occurred well
inland over the Florida peninsula. In the Tampa Bay Region, dead center for the 24 hour forecast
track, evacuations were ordered in all four counties. Charley was directly responsible for ten deaths
– primarily from flying debris and fallen trees. There were an additional 20 indirect deaths
(www.nhc.noaa.gov)
August 25 – Sept. 8, 2004: Hurricane Frances was a Cape Verde-type hurricane that reached a peak
intensity of category 4 on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale. It affected the Bahamas as a category
3 hurricane and the Florida east coast as a category 2 hurricane. The Tampa Bay Region
experienced tropical storm and minimal hurricane force winds with some coastal and more
extensive inland flooding caused by more than 10 inches of rainfall. Frances was directly
responsible for seven deaths - five in Florida, one in the Bahamas, and one in Ohio. Three deaths
were caused by wind, two by storm surge, one by freshwater flooding, and one by lightning. The
hurricane was indirectly responsible for 42 deaths - 32 in Florida, 8 in Georgia, 1 in the Bahamas,
and 1 in Ohio (www.nhc.noaa.gov).
September 2 - 24, 2004: Hurricane Ivan was a classical, long-lived Cape Verde hurricane that
reached Category 5 strength on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale (SSHS) three times. It was also
the strongest hurricane on record that far south east of the Lesser Antilles. Ivan caused
considerable damage and loss of life as it passed through the Caribbean Sea. Despite the
unfavorable environmental conditions, the presence of cooler shelf water just offshore and eyewall
replacement cycles, Ivan weakened only slowly and made landfall as a 105 kt hurricane (category 3
on the SSHS) on September 16th, just west of Gulf Shores, Alabama. Ivan caused extensive damage
to coastal and inland areas of the United States. Portions of the Interstate 10 bridge system across
Pensacola Bay, Florida were severely damaged in several locations as a result of severe wave action
on top of the 10-15 ft storm surge. At one point, more than 1.8 million people were without power
in nine states (www.nhc.noaa.gov)
September 13 – 28, 2004: Hurricane Jeanne produced heavy rain over Guadeloupe, Puerto Rico and
the Dominican Republic and caused an estimated 3000 or more deaths in Haiti, from torrential
rainfall flooding. Finally, Jeanne hit the northern Bahamas and then the central Florida east coast as
a category three hurricane. Jeanne moved across central Florida while weakening and began to
curve around the western periphery of the migratory ridge. The hurricane weakened to a tropical
storm while centered about 30 mi north of Tampa September 26th and then weakened to a tropical
depression about 24 hours later while moving northward across central Georgia accompanied by
heavy rain. Winds were somewhat higher in the Tampa Bay Region for Hurricane Jeanne than
Hurricane Frances resulting in wind damage and minimal coastal flooding. Areas still flooded from
Frances (three weeks before) received additional flood waters (www.nhc.noaa.gov).
The impact of the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season and the resulting death, injury, destruction, and
population displacement were unprecedented in U.S. history. During 2005, 15 tropical storms
became hurricanes. For the first time, four major hurricanes made landfall in the United States;
three of those reached Category 5 intensity.
The worst effects were felt from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. On August 29, Hurricane Katrina
struck the U.S. Gulf Coast, causing severe damage from a two-story storm surge, powerful winds,
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Appendix 1 Page 1-32
and heavy rains. Approximately 80% of New Orleans was flooded after the surge from the Gulf of
Mexico forced breaks in a levee, releasing water from Lake Pontchartrain into the city. Katrina
became the deadliest U.S. hurricane since 1928 and likely the costliest natural disaster on record in
the United States. On September 24, response and recovery activities in the wake of Katrina were
interrupted when Hurricane Rita struck the Gulf Coast. Rita rendered more homes uninhabitable
and thousands more seeking shelter elsewhere. More than 200,000 persons were displaced by the
hurricanes and dispersed to evacuee shelters in 18 states. The economic and health consequences
of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita extended far beyond the Gulf region and ultimately affected states
and communities throughout the United States. (http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/mguide_nd.html)
While Pinellas County was NOT directly affected by hurricane Katrina, Rita or Wilma in 2005, those
storms did have a significant impact on emergency management planning and operations
throughout the country at the federal, state and local levels. Below is the NHC Historical Assessment
of tropical storm and hurricane activity within 50 miles of the mouth of Tampa Bay.
Since 2005, Pinellas County has been affected by two tropical storm events. As described in the
early section on coastal flooding, in 2008 Tropical Storm Fay resulted in resulted in approximately
$20,000 in property damage in Pinellas County primarily from heavy rainfall. As it zigzagged from
water to land, it became the first storm in recorded history to make landfall in Florida four times.
Thirty-six deaths were blamed on Fay. The storm also resulted in one of the most prolific tropical
cyclone related tornado outbreaks on record. A total of 81 tornadoes touched down across five
states, three of which were rated as EF2. Damage from Fay was heavy in Florida, estimated at $560
million.
In June 2012, Tropical Storm Debby, a minor tropical storm flooded many parts of the state
including Pinellas County. In St. Petersburg, a gust of 45 mph (72 km/h) was observed, while 1.88
inches (48 mm) of rain fell in a one-hour period. With the substantial loss of beaches, tourism in the
region is expected to suffer significantly. Portions of Upham Beach in Pinellas County were
completely eroded up to the seawall and other areas in that county had lost 20 to 30 ft (6.1 to
9.1 m) of sand. On Treasure Island, coastal dunes were eroded by 10 to 15 ft (3.0 to 4.6 m). In Pass-
a-Grille, Debby's storm surge flooded coastal hotels with ankle-deep water as the dunes were
washed away. Throughout St. Pete Beach, 30–40 homes were damaged by a tornado spawned by
Debby.
While there were two tropical storms affecting the county (TS Fay 2008; TS Debby 2012),
there has been no hurricane activity since 2004. Table 1-9 provides a summary of tropical
storm and hurricane activity. Table 1-10 presents the hurricanes which have tracked within 100
miles of Pinellas County.
Pinellas County is a peninsula with a total of 588 miles of coastline, which makes it extremely
vulnerable to coastal flooding. The County has experienced a number of damaging coastal floods
caused by wind-driven water associated with an astronomical high tide.
June 1972: Hurricane Agnes, although well out in the Gulf of Mexico, caused a wind-driven high
tide of 5.6 feet, which struck Pinellas County on June 19, 1972. It caused an estimated $12
million in damages to public and private property.
June 1982: On June 18, 1982, Pinellas County was struck by severe coastal flooding from the
“no-name” storm. The highest recorded winds from the storm were 49 mph and rainfall
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Appendix 1 Page 1-33
amounts were between four to six inches. The estimated public and private property damage
from the “no-name” storm were over $16 million
March 1993: The “Storm of the Century” was a very powerful winter storm which generated
Category 1 “hurricane - like” storm surges. A tide 7.7 feet above normal levels was measured by
a tide gauge at Clearwater Beach.
July 2001: A slow moving and persistent low pressure system west of the mouth of Tampa Bay
produced coastal flooding, very heavy rain, sustained winds of 20 to 30 mph with occasional
higher gusts of up to 50 mph, along the West coast of Florida. In Pinellas County approximately
four feet of coastal flooding caused an estimated $1.7 million in property damage.

The figure below tracks the hurricane return intervals for the Tampa Bay Region based on the
historical impacts. Based on the history of hurricanes affecting the Tampa Bay area, Pinellas
County can expect a hurricane to affect us at least once every 4.5 years. It is considered that the
occurrence of a hurricane in the Tampa Bay area on an annual basis is high.

2. Vulnerability
Based on historical information, Pinellas County remains highly vulnerable to coastal flooding due
to high tide on the barrier islands and in other low lying areas along the coastline identified on the
NFIP Flood Insurance Rate Maps and local governments’ repetitive loss areas.
The vulnerability of Pinellas County to potential hazards from tropical storms and hurricanes is
analyzed prior to each storm. The population at risk and potential for property/economic damages
is based on the specific characteristics of the threatening hurricane.
The principle tool for analyzing the expected hazards from potential hurricanes that may affect the
Tampa Bay Region is the Sea, Lake, and Overland Surges from Hurricanes (SLOSH) numerical storm
surge model. The SLOSH model predicts the tidal surge heights that result from test data about
hypothetical hurricanes with various combinations of pressure, size, forward speed, track and
winds.
Map 1-8 presents the Storm Tide Limits as defined by the SLOSH Model for each category of
hurricane (Saffir Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale) and provided in the Statewide Regional
Evacuation Study (TBRPC, 2010). From these vulnerability assessments, Pinellas County
Emergency Management identifies Evacuation Zones (A_E). Map 1-9 presents the Pinellas County
Evacuation Zones (2014).
Population and Structural Vulnerability in Hurricane Evacuation Levels
According to the 2010 Statewide Regional Evacuation Study for Tampa Bay, there are an estimated
600,901 residents of Pinellas County (in 2015) that live in Evacuation Zones A through E. These
zones are generally the evacuation areas in Pinellas County for a worst-case Category 5 hurricane.
As a call for an evacuation of a particular zone is typically inclusive of the evacuation zones for
lower intensity storms, the table below depicts the cumulative numbers of people who live in each
zone (Zone B = Pop. A + Pop. B; Zone E = Pop. A + Pop. B + Pop. C + Pop. D + Pop. E). Each
Evacuation Zone A, B, C, D, and E are roughly similar to the potential storm surge inundation areas
for each category of hurricane 1 through 5, based on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale.

4. Maximum Threat/ Extent
The maximum threat to Pinellas County with regard to coastal flooding and tropical
storm/hurricanes is a hurricane-generated storm surge from a landfalling storm striking the
coastline during an astronomical high tide.
A category 1 hurricane would place up to 158,000 persons at risk, as well as 60,000 dwelling units
from a category 1 storm (up to 6’ MSL). Estimated damages would be between $120 and $140
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Appendix 1 Page 1-43
million dollars from coastal flooding. Hurricanes of greater intensity would have exponentially
greater potential for property damage and a much larger population-at-risk.
The worst case scenario for Pinellas County is a Category 5 Hurricane heading northeast at less
than 15 miles per hour that makes landfall at high tide along the barrier island communities of mid-
Pinellas County. A storm surge of over 30 feet at some coastal locations would inundate large areas
of the county, while sustained winds of over155 miles per hour with even higher gusts would
destroy thousands of homes and cause damage to hundreds of thousands more.
A more probable scenario is a Category 3 landfalling hurricane again making landfall north of the
mouth of Tampa Bay maximizing the storm surge along Pinellas County’s east coast in addition to
the barrier islands and communities along the Gulf of Mexico. In Attachment 1-4, HAZUS2 was used
to provide an analysis for the 1921 Hurricane, a category 3 hurricane which made landfall in the
northern coast of Pinellas County forcing 20+feet of storm surge into the mouth of Tampa Bay.

2 HAZUS is a nationally applicable standardized methodology that contains models for estimating potential
losses from floods, hurricanes, and earthquakes. HAZUS uses Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
technology to estimate physical, economic and social impacts of disasters. It graphically illustrates the limits
of identified high-risk locations. Users can then visualize the spatial relationships between populations and
other more permanently fixed geographic assets or resources for the specific hazard being modeled, a crucial
function in the pre-disaster planning process.
HAZUS is used for mitigation and recovery as well as preparedness and response. Planners, GIS specialists
and emergency managers use HAZUS to determine losses and the most beneficial mitigation approaches to
minimize them. HAZUS is used in the assessment step in the mitigation planning process, which is the
foundation for a community's long-term strategy to reduce disaster losses and break the cycle of disaster
damage, reconstruction and repeated damage. .

SEVERE STORMS AND LIGHTNING
Florida is considered the thunderstorm capital of the
United States. A thunderstorm forms when moist,
unstable air is lifted vertically into the atmosphere.
The lifting of this air results in condensation and the
release of latent heat. The process to initiate vertical
lifting can be caused by:
Unequal warming of the surface of the Earth.
Orographic lifting due to topographic
obstruction of airflow.
Dynamic lifting because of the presence of a frontal zone.
Thunderstorms affect a relatively small area when compared to a hurricane. The typical
thunderstorm is 15 miles in diameter and lasts an average of 30 minutes. Despite their small size,
all thunderstorms are dangerous. Of the estimated 100,000 thunderstorms that occur each year in
the United States, about 10 percent are classified as severe.
The National Weather Service (NWS) considers a thunderstorm severe if it produces hail at least
one inch in diameter, winds of 58 mph or stronger, or a tornado. The three key elements of a
thunderstorm are wind, water, and lightning. The Tampa region has the highest incidences of
thunderstorms in the United States, with Florida being first in the United States for lightning strikes
per square mile.
Florida also leads the nation in lightning-related deaths, and is among the top ten states prone to
devastation from tornadoes—the thunderstorm‘s most vicious offspring. Thunderstorms deliver
most of the state‘s rainfall. Their winds also help invigorate sluggish environments in ponds, lakes,
and estuaries, and break up oil spills.
1. History
Pinellas County has an unusually high incidence of lightning
strikes and thunderstorms causing death and injury.
Between 1991 (first reported in system) and 2014, there were
143 severe thunderstorms reported in Pinellas County with 52
storm days with reported losses - resulting in $187 million in
property damage and five reported events with (1) death or (6)
injuries. (Source: NWS)
Lightning occurs mostly in the months of May through October. Between 1996 (first reported in
system) and 2014, there were 103 reports of lightning causing $10,219,000 in damage with 72
injuries and 4 deaths in Pinellas County. (Source: NWS)

5 A microburst with winds of about 60mph occurred in a mobile home park along 62nd Avenue North in
Lealman. Fifteen mobile homes incurred damage, with four homes sustaining major damage, mainly to
carports and portions of the roof where the carport was attached. One tree and numerous limbs were also
downed just to the northwest of the mobile home park along 27th Street North from 59th Avenue North to
62nd Avenue North. 6 Thunderstorm winds gusts snapped small tree trunks, pushed over shallow rooted trees, and caused
damage to around 150 homes and mobile homes over a one mile square area near Ulmerton Road. 7 A 200 foot communication tower collapsed midway up the tower. Wind damage to trees at the surface
suggested wind gusts at 60 MPH, while winds at the top of the tower were estimated at over 110 MPH.
Downburst and tornadic wind damage occurred along an eleven mile path from Indian Rocks Beach to the
Saint Petersburg/Clearwater International Airport.
8 A small hanger was destroyed with debris damaging vehicles and small airplanes. The observation station
on the north side of the airport recorded a wind gust of 55 MPH.

2. Probability
There is a relatively high probability that lightning strikes and thunderstorms will continue to occur
in Pinellas County (countywide). However, the risk to the population is relatively low concerning
injury and death. There were 52 thunderstorm wind events in Pinellas County reported to have
caused property damage, injury and/or fatality between 6/01/59 and 6/30/2014 of a total of 143
events. The frequency of occurrence is 2.65 per year. Since 1996, there were 103 lightning events
(5.7 X per year) – 57 reported that caused property damage and 48 with injuries (72) and/or
fatalities (4).
3. Vulnerability
The entire County is equally at risk to severe storms and lightning. Because of the very
frequent occurrences, Pinellas County has a high vulnerability to damaging winds and lightning
strikes caused by thunderstorms. In reviewing the most damaging events listed in the tables above,
damage is primarily caused by high winds felling trees which impact structures. In addition, mobile
homes, roofs and aluminum buildings (such as hangars or warehouses) tend to be particularly
vulnerable to high winds. Lightning impacts residents outdoors and has struck homes and
businesses resulting in fires. Additionally, with the waters of Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico
surrounding Pinellas County, there is an added vulnerability to fisherman, swimmers, and boaters
as well as other residents and visitors engaged in outdoor activities. In 2014 an indirect lightning
strike injured 12 spectators as they were leaving a Tampa Bay Buccaneers football game at
Raymond James Stadium in nearby Tampa (Hillsborough County) sending 7 to the hospital.
4. Maximum Threat/ Extent
The maximum threat is the potential for a line of severe thunderstorms, producing damaging wind
gusts of up to 100 miles per hour and frequent lightning at a rate of 1,000 strikes per hour, to
sweep through the entire county from west to east. Such a severe thunderstorm event would create
numerous instances of property damage, injuries, and potentially fatalities as 100-mph wind gusts
damage buildings directly and cause numerous trees and large limbs to fall on roofs, vehicles, and
other structures. This situation would be exacerbated if a large outdoor sporting event, festival, or
fair were taking place when the storm hit, exposing hundreds or thousands to the effects of wind-
borne debris and numerous lightning strikes. The lightning strikes would also have the potential to
start structure or wildland fires, if the accompanying rainfall is not intense enough to extinguish the
blazes.

TORNADO
A tornado is a violent windstorm characterized by a twisting,
funnel-shaped cloud. A tornado‘s wind speed normally
ranges from 40 to more than 300 mph. Waterspouts are
weak tornadoes that form over warm water and are most
common along the Gulf Coast and the southeastern states.
Waterspouts occasionally move inland, becoming tornadoes
and causing damage and injuries.
Florida has two tornado seasons. The summer tornado
season runs from June until September and has the highest frequencies of storm generation, with
usual intensities of EF0 or EF1 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale. This includes those tornadoes
associated with land-falling tropical cyclones.
The deadly spring season, from February through April, is characterized by more powerful
tornadoes because of the presence of the jet stream. When the jet stream digs south into Florida
and is accompanied by a strong cold front and a strong squall line of thunderstorms, the jet
stream's high-level winds of 100 to 200 mph often strengthen a thunderstorm into what
meteorologists call a ―supercell or ―mesocyclone. These powerful storms can move at speeds of 30
to 50 mph, produce dangerous downburst winds, large hail, and usually the most deadly tornadoes.
Unlike hurricanes, which produce wind speeds of similar values over relatively widespread areas
(when compared to tornadoes), the maximum winds in tornadoes are often confined to extremely
small areas and vary tremendously over very short distances, even within the funnel itself.
The Enhanced Fujita Tornado Scale, (or the ―EF Scale), is the definitive scale for estimating wind
speeds within tornadoes based upon the damage done to buildings and structures since 2007. The
EF Scale is used extensively by the NWS in investigating tornadoes (all tornadoes are now assigned
an EF Scale number), and by engineers in correlating damage to buildings and techniques with
different wind speeds caused by tornadoes. Table 1-19 outlines the Fujita Scale, the derived EF
Scale and the operational EF Scale. Though the Enhanced Fujita scale itself ranges up to EF28 for
the damage indicators, the strongest tornadoes max out in the EF5 range (262 to 317 mph).

Tornadoes develop under three scenarios: (1) along a squall line ahead of an advancing cold front
moving from the north; (2) in connection with thunderstorm squall lines during hot, humid
weather; and (3) in the outer portion of a tropical cyclone. Because the temperature contrast
between air masses is generally less pronounced in the state, tornadoes are typically less severe in
Florida than in other parts of the country.
The most common and usually the least destructive tornadoes in Florida are warm season ones.
The cool season tornadoes are sometimes very destructive; they account for a disproportional large
share of the tornado fatalities in Florida. They are typically caused by large-scale weather
disturbances and sometimes occur in groups of six or more along fast-moving squall lines. This type
of tornado usually occurs around the perimeter of the leading edge of the storm and sometimes
results in the outbreak of several tornadoes. They generally move in an easterly direction.
1. History
The tornado, potentially the most violent storm produced in nature, is a common occurrence in
Florida and Pinellas County. In the past 30 years only two outbreaks of strong tornadoes have
occurred in Pinellas County, one in May of 1979 and the other in October of 1992.
From 1951 to 2014, Pinellas County recorded 108 tornado incidents, some minor, but all causing
varying degrees of property loss. One of the most severe incident occurred on May 4, 1978, when a
tornado struck Highpoint Elementary School during a school day. Three children were killed, 15
hospitalized and another 84 injured, with property damages totaling $4 million. The last major
event occurred October 3, 1992, when tornadoes damaged and destroyed a subdivision of homes
and a mobile home park in the City of Pinellas Park. Four were killed, 130 were injured; the
property damages totaled $37 million. On August 12, 2000, two waterspouts caused approximately
$35,000 total in property damage with no injuries.
Nine (9) events were reported between 06/01/2009 and 06/30/2014 resulting in $1.06 million in
property damage. In 2011, an EF1 tornado impacted Indian Rocks Beach and the St. Pete
Clearwater Airport causing $750,000 in damage. In June of 2012, two tornadoes impacted Indian
Rocks Beach and St. Pete Beach ($280,000 damage).

for about 1/2 mile, caused damage at five mobile home parks. Much of the damage occurred at the Palm Hill
Country Club mobile home park. In all, 51 mobile homes were damaged, 25 with heavy damage. No injuries or
fatalities were reported. About 25,000 residents of the area lost power after the event. 15 A waterspout moved onshore as a tornado and destroyed the second floor of a 3,600 square foot multiple

2. Probability
Tornado track data since 1950 from the National Weather Service was to determine the annual
probability that a tornado would cause damage. Based on historical trend of the past 65 years,
Pinellas County can expect to receive 2.03 tornado touchdowns per year with an annual loss of
$200,000. Thus, the occurrence of a tornado touchdown on an annual basis would be considered
high. The expected tornado size would be approximately 100 yards wide, with a two to three mile
path moving from the southwest to northeast. Most tornadoes are expected to touchdown for
relatively short periods of time in a bounce- type pattern.
3. Vulnerability
Because of the high frequency and unpredictable pattern of tornadoes, the entire County is
equally at risk to tornadoes. The damage potential is high because of the population density, and
also due to the large number of mobile homes and manufactured housing units throughout the
County. (Because of their construction, the estimated 45,000 mobile homes and manufactured
housing units are especially vulnerable to the high winds of a tornado.) In addition to severe
property damage, there is the threat of numerous casualties from a tornado event, as the tornado’s
(or tornadoes’) winds directly damage and destroy buildings and vehicles with occupants inside.
Tornadoes can create tons of flying windborne debris that can also damage/destroy structures and
vehicles and can cause injuries and fatalities.
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Appendix 1 Page 1-62
4. Maximum Threat/ Extent
A worst case scenario involving a tornado incident in Pinellas County would call for multiple
tornadoes with a rating of at least EF4 on the Enhanced Fujita Tornado Intensity Scale, beginning
near the Gulf Coast (western edge), and moving on a southwest to northeast track, until exiting into
the waters of Tampa Bay. This would be a similar to the series of tornadoes that moved through the
southern part of the county on May 8, 1979 as well as October 3, 1992 tornadoes which impacted
the central part of the county (Pinellas Park, Largo and Treasure Island). Damages could exceed $50
million with a potential for serious injuries and loss of life.

WILDFIRE
A wildfire is any fire occurring in wildlands (i.e., grasslands, forest,
brush land, etc.) Wildfires have burned across the woodlands of
Florida for centuries and are part of the natural management of much
of Florida’s ecosystems. Forest fires from natural causes such as
lightning account for only a very small percentage of Florida’s
wildfires, whereas, man is by far the leading cause of wildfires. Forest
land is continuously susceptible to destruction by wildfires.
The Urban/Wildland interface situation is largely the result of
development in areas once considered wildlands and the desire of
people to live in a more natural woodland setting. Natural
landscaping, which allows natural vegetation to grow and accumulate
near homes, is a hazardous trend which invites an invasion by wildfire.
Wildfires near developed areas can threaten human life, structures and
wildland resource values. Many subdivision layouts with numerous
dead end streets and cul-de-sacs give rise to access and departure
problems for fire-fighting equipment.
Urban/wildland interface areas can be classified into the following types:
The mixed interface contains structures that are scattered throughout rural areas. Usually,
there are isolated homes surrounded by larger or smaller areas of land.
An occluded interface is characterized by isolated (either large or small) areas within an
urban area. An example may be a city park surrounded by urban homes trying to preserve
some contact with a natural setting.
A class interface is where homes, especially those crowded onto smaller lots in new
subdivisions, press along the wildland vegetation along a broad front. Vast adjacent
wildland areas can propagate a massive flame front during a wildfire, and numerous homes
are put at risk by a single fire.
1. History
Pinellas County is nearly “built out,” meaning there are few large contiguous areas with vegetated
land cover. However, sporadic wildfires do occur, mainly in the northeast part of the county. The
East Lake area near the power line corridor is the most likely location for wildfires to occur. The
County does conduct controlled burning in the entire northeast corner of the County and small
burns at county parks and other properties throughout the year. The State also conducts annual
controlled burns at state parks located within the county.
In March of 2000, the City of Clearwater experienced minor property damage ($5000) from a small
wildfire. Between May 23rd and May 25th, 2001, the County did experience smoke from fires in
adjacent counties. In 2006 there were 16 reported wildfires affecting 306.4 acres in Pinellas
County. Again, in the spring/summer of 2007, Pinellas County residents experienced smoke from
fires across the state and in Georgia. Luckily there were no damages and no injuries.
Between 2006 and 2012, there were a total 33 wildfires affecting almost 540 acres. No wildfire-
related injuries or property damage were reported over this time period, as the wildfires that
occurred over this timeframe were relatively small, averaging just 16.3 acres. Pinellas County is the
most densely populated county in Florida, and development patterns are such that firefighters can
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Appendix 1 Page 1-64
reach nearly any location in the county within a short amount of time to quickly contain most
wildfires and minimize their impacts on life and property.

2. Probability
Based on an analysis of recent fire histories, Pinellas County can expect about 4.7 wildfires burning
approximately 77.07 acres annually. This number will probably decrease as the remaining brush
areas are developed.
3. Vulnerability
Webster’s dictionary defines risk as “The possibility of suffering harm or loss.” As one can see, there
needs be an “effect of an action” before one can incur a risk from an action. Traditionally, fire
management personnel have used the term “risk” to refer to “what starts wildland fires.” Within the
Florida Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) and the Southern Fire Risk Assessment (SWRA), the Level of
Concern is the best measure of wildland fire risk. The Level of Concern is calculated from the
likelihood of an acre burning, called the Wildland Fire Susceptibility Index (WFSI), and the
expected effects of the fire (Fire Effects Index).
The Level of Concern (LOC)
LOC is a value between 0 and 9. It is calculated as the Wildland Fire Susceptibility Index (WFSI)
times the Fire Effects Index (FEI). It is one of the two primary outputs of the FRA and the SWRA and
is a measure of wildfire risk. LOC can be used to complete a more detailed analysis at the local level
and communicate wildland fire management concerns.
LOC can be used to: identify areas where mitigation options may be of value; allow agencies to
work together and better define priorities; develop a refined analysis of a complex landscape and
fire situations using GIS; and increase communication with local residents to address community
priorities and needs.
The Wildland Fire Risk Assessment System (FRAS) combines indices of Wildland Fire Susceptibility
and Fire Effects to generate a “Level of Concern” map. Data layers used to develop the Wildland Fire
Susceptibility Index include: fuel and crown closure classifications and non-burnable areas from
Landsat TM data, and topographic and fire weather data from existing data sets. The Fire Effects
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Appendix 1 Page 1-65
Index uses data layers derived from a variety of existing data sets. These data included location of
critical facilities, forest plantations, utility corridors, urban interface areas, roads, and firefighting
resource locations; as well as, suppression cost--based on soil and fuel types.
The Levels of Concern (LOC) were computed by multiplying the Wildland Fire Susceptibility Indices
by the Fire Effects Indices. The LOC values were then assigned to nine categories of risk and
mapped for each Florida Division of Forestry District.
Another component of FRAS is the Fire Response Accessibility Index (FRAI). The FRAI is a relative
measure of travel time from the nearest fire station to reach a particular mapped cell. Values are
assigned into one of six categories of time ranging from class 1 (greater than 120 minutes) to class
6 (0-14 minutes). Accessibility is based on the location of roads and wildland firefighting resource
dispatch stations. The Fire Response Accessibility Index is coupled with the Levels of Concern data
on District maps. The fire behavior model, FlamMap is used in FRAS. FlamMap calculates the
behavior of a fire occurring in each 30x30 meter cell under defined weather conditions given
topographic, fuels, and crown closure data.
Pinellas County’s vulnerability is ranked low to medium. While 14% of property is located in LOC 7,
8, and 9, less than .37% of the population and .4% of properties and property values reside in those
more vulnerable locations. The highest risk is found primarily in the wildland/urban interface
developments located at various sites throughout the county. Wildfires are usually kept small and
extinguished quickly. The State Enhanced Hazard Mitigation Plan (2013) estimates the total value
of structures at $17,117,000,000 and the annual losses at $281,000.
Attachment 1-3 provides a detailed breakdown by jurisdiction of wildfire risk and property within
Levels of Concern.

4. Maximum Threat/ Extent
A worst case scenario would involve approximately 300 acres involved in a wildfire resulting from
drought and high temperatures with damage to or the destruction of 200 homes, most likely in the
wildland/urban interface setting (LOC 7,8,9). There would be the potential for health impacts
(smoke and blaze), injury of residents and firefighters as well as structural and environmental
impacts. Presumably, this is a factor of a densely populated area with dispersed parks, woodlands
and recreational areas. This could result in approximately $35 million in structural damages as well
as environmental impacts to natural habitat.

DROUGHT & EXTREME HEAT
In the most general sense, drought originates from a
deficiency of precipitation over an extended period of
time, resulting in a water shortage for some activity,
group, or environmental sector. Drought should be
considered relative to some long-term average
condition of balance between precipitation and
―evapo-transpiration evaporation + transpiration) in
a particular area, a condition often perceived as
―normal. It is also related to the timing (i.e., principal
season of occurrence, delays in the start of the rainy season, occurrence of rains in relation to
principal crop growth stages) and the effectiveness (i.e., rainfall intensity, number of rainfall
events) of the rains. Other climatic factors such as high temperature, high wind, and low relative
humidity are often associated with it in many regions of the world and can significantly intensify its
severity.
When drought begins, the agricultural sector is usually the first to be impacted because of its heavy
dependence on stored soil water. Those who rely on surface water (i.e., reservoirs and lakes) and
subsurface water (i.e., ground water), for example, are usually the last to be affected. A short-term
drought that persists for three to six months may have little impact on these sectors, depending on
the characteristics of the hydrologic system and water use requirements.
The Keetch-Byram Drought Index (KBDI) is a continuous reference scale for estimating the dryness
of the soil and duff layers. The index increases for each day without rain (the amount of increase
depends on the daily high temperature) and decreases when it rains. The scale ranges from 0 (no
moisture deficit) to 800. The range of the index is determined by assuming that there are 8 inches
of moisture in saturated soil that is readily available to the vegetation.
Extreme heat is defined as extended period of time where the temperature and relative humidity
combine for a dangerous heat index. NOAA's heat alert procedures are based mainly on Heat Index
Values. The "Heat Index", sometimes referred to as the "apparent temperature" and given in
degrees Fahrenheit, is a measure of how hot it really feels when relative humidity is added to the
actual air temperature. To find the heat index, look at the Heat Index Chart. As an example, if the air
temperature is 96°F (found on the top of the table) and the relative humidity is 65% (found on the
left of the table), the heat index-or how hot it really feels-is 121°F. This is at the intersection of the
96° column and the 65% row. The National Weather Service will initiate alert procedures
when the Heat Index is expected to exceed 105°- 110°F (depending on local climate) for at
least two consecutive days.16
Extreme heat can occur throughout the state but typically occurs in the summer between the
months of June and September. This hazard is focused on the affects to the human population, while
drought focuses more in agricultural interests. Extreme heat can ultimately cause death. Most heat
disorders occur because the victim has been overexposed to heat or has over-exercised for his or
her age and physical condition. Older adults, young children, and those who are sick or overweight
are more likely to succumb to extreme heat.

Pinellas County has very little agriculture; therefore no economic losses from drought have been
reported.
1. History
Since 1900, 9 drought cycles (typically of two year periods) have occurred in Florida. From 1950 to
May 2009, there were 33 recorded instances of drought in Florida. Four major hydrologic droughts
have affected Florida. Areas of the State most severely affected by these droughts were the
Panhandle and South-Central peninsula from 1932-1935; the entire State from 1949-1957 and
again from 1980-1982; and the peninsula from 1970-1977 (State Enhanced Mitigation Plan, 2013).
Long Term Drought 1998-2002 - Lower than normal precipitation caused a severe long-term
statewide drought in Florida lasting from 1998 to 2002. Based on precipitation and stream flow
records dating to the early 1900s, the drought was one of the worst ever to affect the State. In terms
of severity, this drought was comparable to the drought of 1949-1957 in duration and had record-
setting low flows in several basins. The drought was particularly severe over the 5-year period in
the northwest, northeast, and southwest regions of Florida, where rainfall deficits ranged from 9-10
in. below normal (southwest Florida) to 38-40 in. below normal (northwest Florida). Within these
regions, the drought caused record-low stream flows in several river basins, increased freshwater
withdrawals, and created hazardous conditions ripe for wildfires, sinkhole development, and even
the draining of lakes. South Florida was affected primarily in 2001, when the region experienced
below-average stream flow conditions; however, cumulative rainfall in south Florida never fell
below the 30-year normal.
Among the drought measures taken in 2001:
Three of Florida's five water management districts 9including the Southwest Florida Water
Management District) imposed mandatory cutbacks, strictly limiting water use.
Several municipalities hiked water-sewer rates, meaning even customers who cut back
were paying more.
Restaurants in South Florida were ordered to stop serving water, except to diners who
asked.
Based on NWS Data, record number of days without rain for Pinellas County are noted below. There
are some correlations with the state data but also reflect local short-term droughts that persisted
for three to six months in 1933-34; 1940’s; 1950 and 2001.

Most summer seasons have micro-heat waves based on a geographic area of Florida. As indicated
above, extreme heat and drought conditions may require water use restrictions which could cause
distress. There can be an increase in heat-related illnesses. Infants and Children, Elderly and Special
Needs populations, and pets may require more attention. There is an increased risk of dehydration
especially for vulnerable populations and those who work outside. Overexertion required by job
will increase risk of heat related illness.
The table below identifies the history of extended periods of maximum temperatures in Pinellas
County. These include 1921; 1931-32; 1941-42: 1951; 1977, 1979, 1987, 1993, 1996 and 1997.

2. Probability
Based on historical trends, the frequency of drought in Florida is every five to ten years.
Fortunately, the geographic location of Florida places it at far less risk for drought than the western
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Appendix 1 Page 1-71
states, because Florida remains humid, even with less than average rainfall. Thus, the occurrence of
drought is considered to be low.
3. Vulnerability
Drought will negatively affect Pinellas County with a variety of impacts:
Drought is often associated with periods of long and intense heat. Drought usually does not
affect humans directly, but extreme heat can cause injury and even death, particularly with
children, elderly citizens, and other special needs populations. Injuries and potential deaths
are most likely to impact poor areas that lack air conditioning and immediate medical care.
The largest impact of prolonged drought is the financial impact to farmers with crops and
livestock. Pinellas County does not have much open wildland and very little agriculture.
The wildland which does exist is located primarily in the northern areas of the County;
Safety Harbor, East Lake, and Oldsmar. When such wildland becomes parched, it becomes
more susceptible to wildfires.
Drought and extreme heat have no real effect on houses, facilities, or infrastructure.
Rationing water supplies would most likely be the worst-case scenario impact for drought.
This could be significant for Pinellas County which is the most densely populated county in
the state.
Prolonged drought over a number of years could have long-term environmental impacts on
the area, including species endangerment and damage to habitats.
There is an increased sinkhole formation risk under drought conditions
Extreme heat, as defined by FEMA, is when temperatures remain ten degrees or more above the
average high temperature for a region and last for several weeks. Extreme heat can ultimately cause
death. Most heat disorders occur because the victim has been overexposed to heat or has over-
exercised for his or her age and physical condition. Older adults, young children, and those who are
sick or overweight are more likely to succumb to extreme heat.
Low impact to government; although prolonged drought periods may require the
suspension of some services.
Moderate impact to energy consumption and may produce power disruptions.
Low impact to property, facilities and infrastructure. Heat sensitive components may be
compromised.
Low impact to the delivery of services. Non-essential services may be suspended (park and
recreational area watering, public property watering).
A reduction in ground water supplies creates a situation conducive to sinkholes and
wildfires.
All jurisdictions within the county are equally affected by extreme heat and drought.
4. Maximum Threat/ Extent
A prolonged drought and extreme heat resulting in very low water levels can result in the need for
water rationing to address water demand and shortages. An extended drought of more than 2 years
such as the period of 1933-34 or 1942-45 coupled with a period of extreme heat (air temperature
95°+ and heat index values over 108°) for more than a week will result in potable water shortages,
increased heat disorders affecting vulnerable populations, potential energy/ power disruptions, the
potential for increased sinkholes and wildfires in the urban interface.

WINTER STORMS AND FREEZES
Severe winter weather includes extreme cold, snowfall, ice storms, winter storms, and/or strong
winds, and affects every state in the continental United States. Areas where such weather is
uncommon, such as Florida, are typically affected more by severe winter (sustained temperatures
below freezing) weather than regions that experience this weather more frequently.
1. History
Pinellas County is subject to frost and/or freezing temperatures from November through March
each year. Since 1962, there have been 16 freezes that have affected Pinellas County. The month
and year are shown on Table 1-23. The January 1977 freeze resulted in a Presidential Declaration
for the State of Florida.
There have been five (5) events reported between 2000 and 2014. However, no property damage,
injuries or deaths were reported. Pinellas County did not suffer damages to crops and had less than
100 acres of harvested farmland in 2007.
In 2010, Pinellas County had below freezing temperatures for 2 to 3 hours. The ASOS station at the
Albert Whitted Airport recorded a low of 33 degrees, breaking the previous low of 34 degrees set in
1977. The lowest temperature across the county of 26 degrees was recorded in Palm Harbor.
A 77-year-old man, his 72-year-old wife, and their 41-year-old daughter were hospitalized from
being sickened by carbon monoxide after using a charcoal barbecue grill to heat their home for 12
hours due to the power going out from a blown transformer. The low temperature recorded at the
Albert Whitted Airport was 35 degrees and the high temperature was 42 degrees, which set a new
record low maximum temperature record. The previous record low maximum temperature was 48
degrees set in 1970.
Table 1- 25: Pinellas County Freezes
In 2012, a strong cold front moved through the Florida
Peninsula on January 2nd with high pressure and cold air
advection behind the front dropping temperatures to well
below freezing. The coldest temperatures were felt on the
morning of January 4th with slightly warmer but still sub-
freezing temperatures on January 5th. Pinellas County
recorded sub-freezing temperatures for around 4 hours at
the COOP site at Tarpon Springs in the northern part of the
county where temperature fell to 28 degrees.
2. Probability
Freezes have occurred in Pinellas County 16 times during
the last 42 years. Therefore, the County can expect a freeze
once every three years. The probability of a freeze is
considered as high; however, the vulnerability is considered
low (State Enhanced Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2013).
During the 2013 revision process, data indicated that the
likelihood and probability of future occurrences of severe
winter storms in Florida tended to result more in flooding and tornadoes than in snow and ice.

Based on all the historical evidence, it is anticipated that a moderate freeze may be expected in
Florida every one to two years. Severe freezes may be expected on average once every five years
based on historic FEMA-declared disasters.
3. Vulnerability
The entire county is equally at risk to winter storms and freezes. Pinellas County is primarily
an urban County with almost no acreage devoted to agriculture. However, the population most
vulnerable to freeze is the elderly population or those medically-dependent upon power. In
addition if the storm produces coastal flooding as seen in the 1993 Winter Storm, coastal residents
could be at higher risk. Past freezes have caused power outages in several areas. This has required
the electrical power companies to institute rolling “brown-outs”, and have required the opening of
shelters.
4. Maximum Threat/ Extent
The maximum threat for Pinellas County would be a sustained period of low temperatures below
30 degrees in December or January. The main threat would be impacts due to power outages.
Selected segments of the population would be considered at-risk including the elderly, very young ,
disabled and poor. In addition, it should be noted that driving in sleet or icy conditions is very
hazardous due to the inexperience of most drivers in the region.

COASTAL EROSION
Coastal erosion is the wearing away of land or the
removal of beach or dune sediments by wave action,
tidal currents, wave currents, or drainage; the wearing
away of land by the action of natural forces; on a beach,
the carrying away of beach material by wave action,
tidal currents, littoral currents or by deflation. Waves
generated by storms cause coastal erosion, which may
take the form of long-term losses of sediment and rocks,
or merely in the temporary redistribution of coastal
sediments. The study of erosion and sediment
redistribution is called ―coastal morphodynamics,
which can be described also as the dynamic interaction
between shoreline, seabed, and water.
A critical erosion area is a segment of the shoreline where natural processes or human activity have
caused or contributed to erosion and recession of the beach or dune system to such a degree that
upland development, recreational interests, wildlife habitat, or important cultural resources are
threatened or lost. For erosion to be considered critical there must be a threat to or loss of one of
four special interests: upland development, recreation, wildlife habitat, or important cultural
resources (FDEP, 2002).
1. History
Pinellas County is a peninsula on the Florida Peninsula and has a total of 587.77 miles of coastline.
Pinellas County also has 35 miles of fine sand beaches. The tourism industry is the largest industry
in the county, with a median hotel occupation rate of about 73%, year round. Additionally, densely
populated barrier islands run almost the entire length on the county’s Gulf Coast. Coastal erosion
events occur on an annual basis, including many small events and an occasional large impact event.
The State Enhanced Hazard Mitigation Plan (2013) references the specific areas of coastal erosion
and has identified 6 critical areas (21.1 miles at risk) and 2 non-critical areas (4.4 miles at risk).
The critical areas include the following:
Table 1- 26: Pinellas County Coastal Erosion

Sand Key 11.3 -82.833742 27.94987
Long Island 4.1 -82.754508 27.737671

The projects described in the section below were designed to prevent future erosion at inlets and
critically eroded beaches in Pinellas County. The information in this section was summarized based
on an FDEP report (FDEP, 2008). The general locations of the projects discussed in this section are
displayed in Map 1-12.
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Appendix 1 Page 1-75
Honeymoon Island, Pinellas County: This is a 1.4-mile segment of critically eroded beach on the
southern gulf shoreline of Honeymoon Island at Honeymoon Island State Park. In 1969, over 1
million cubic yards of sand and limestone was placed along the gulf shoreline of Honeymoon
Island using material from a near-shore borrow area. A groin field was constructed near the south
end of the beach fill. In 1989, beach nourishment was conducted using sand from an upland source.
Feasibility studies completed in 1999 and 2005 recommended beach nourishment and a terminal
structure. Maintenance dredging of the Hurricane Pass navigation channel was also conducted in
2000 with the placement of approximately 12,500 cubic yards of beach quality material.
Phase 1 of the non-Federal Honeymoon Island Beach Restoration Project was completed in
2007. The project design consisted of debris removal and a beach berm to a design elevation.
The strategy for the 1.4-mile segment of critically eroded beach includes maintaining the project
through monitoring and nourishment using sand from bypassing and offshore sources and
identifying offshore sand sources (FDEP, 2008). Phase 2 was the design and construction of the
project. The construction was scheduled to occur in late 2012 (Moore and Squires, 2012).
Hurricane Pass, Pinellas County: Hurricane Pass is a natural inlet where a navigation channel was
dredged in 1989. A feasibility study of navigation improvements was completed in 1999.
This study recommended maintenance dredging and placement of the dredged sand on
Honeymoon Island. Maintenance dredging of the navigation channel was conducted in 2000 with
the excavation of beach quality material that was placed on the beach on Honeymoon Island. More
beach quality sand from the ebb tidal shoal was placed on Honeymoon Island in 2007. The inlet is
dredged periodically by Pinellas County, and the dredged material is placed as nourished sand on
Honeymoon Island or Dunedin Causeway.
Clearwater Beach Island, Pinellas County: This is a 0.5-mile segment of critically eroded inlet
shoreline beach on Clearwater Beach Island adjacent to Clearwater Pass. Most of this area has been
armored with concrete bulkheads. In 1986, private property owners along the inlet shoreline
constructed five rubble mound groins to stabilize the inlet beach. Groin construction has stabilized
pocket beaches, and private interests maintain the pocket beaches for recreational purposes.
Monitoring is the only strategy for this eroded beach.
Clearwater Pass, Pinellas County: Clearwater Pass is a stabilized inlet maintained by USACE.
Dredging of the navigation channel was completed in 1961 and material from maintenance
dredging of the navigation channel was disposed in the gulf and harbor. In 1973 and 1977, beach
compatible dredged material was placed on the Sand Key shoreline south of the pass. Between
1981 and mid-1984, nearly 1 million cubic yards of beach compatible dredged material was placed
on the Sand Key shoreline using sand from a navigation improvement project. Since
1985, the entrance channel has not required dredging to maintain design channel depths. In 1994,
maintenance dredging of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway produced approximately 7,000 cubic
yards of sand that was truck hauled to Sand Key Park. In 2012, between 30,000 and 70,000 cubic
yards of sand was removed from Federal channels. The dredged sand was used to nourish North
Clearwater Beach.
Sand Key, Pinellas County: This is an 11.3-mile segment of critically eroded beach on the Gulf
shoreline of Sand Key. Beach restoration and nourishment have been conducted throughout this
area, except at the Town of Belleair Shore, Redington Beach, and Madeira Beach, where a groin field
was constructed by local interests in the late 1950s.
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Appendix 1 Page 1-76
The Federal “Pinellas County Beach Erosion Control Project” authorizes beach restoration and
nourishment of Clearwater Beach Island, Sand Key, and Treasure Island, and nourishment of Long
Key with Pinellas County as the local sponsor. The Federal authorization provides that various
island segments can be constructed together or as separate projects. The Sand Key segment was
restored in four construction phases between 1988 and 1998. In response to the 2004 hurricane
season, nourishment of the entire Sand Key segment of the Pinellas County Beach Erosion Control
Project was accelerated with construction completed in August of 2006. In 2012, the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers completed the 2012 Sand Key Nourishment Project, which involved the
dredging of Sand Key.
Johns Pass, Pinellas County: Johns Pass is a stabilized inlet with a Federal navigation channel
maintained by USACE. Maintenance dredging of the entrance channel is conducted every 5 to
10 years as needed and bypassed to the Treasure Island beaches. The ebb shoal has been used as a
sand source for several nourishment projects. The management strategy listed below is based in
part upon a 1993 inlet management study. A terminal structure was built in 2000 on the south side
of the Pass to stabilize the Treasure Island project and minimize sediment transport into the Pass.
Maintenance dredging of the entrance of the channel is conducted every 5-10 years, as needed.
USACE is in charge of these activities in cooperation with Pinellas County.
Treasure Island, Pinellas County: This is a 3.5-mile segment of critically eroded beach on
Treasure Island. The Treasure Island segment of the Federal Pinellas County Beach Erosion
Control Project was restored in 1969 with Pinellas County as the local sponsor. The project design
consists of a beach berm at design elevation at elevation +6 feet National Geodetic Vertical Datum
to protect the existing dune and upland development. Nourishment along short segments of
shoreline has been conducted every 3 to 5 years using sand from Blind Pass, Pass-A-Grille, an
offshore borrow area and the Egmont Channel Shoal, in addition to the bypassing of maintenance
dredged material from Johns Pass. Nourishment has created a wide beach along the central gulf
shoreline. The construction of a groin near DEP Monument R141 in 1976 and the extension of the
jetty on the north side of Blind Pass during 1983 stabilized the southern segment of gulf shoreline.
In response to the 2004 to 2005 hurricane seasons, nourishment of the Treasure Island segment of
the Federal Pinellas County Beach Erosion Control Project was accelerated and construction was
completed in September 2006 using sand excavated from the Egmont Channel Shoal. Nourishment
of Treasure Island beaches was completed in 2010. The project used material from John’s Pass to
fill Sunshine Beach and Sunset Beach located on Treasure Island.
Blind Pass, Pinellas County: Blind Pass is a stabilized inlet without a maintained navigation
channel. The channel and ebb shoal have been dredged every 4 to 5 years by USACE as a sand
source for nourishment on Treasure Island and Long Key. In 1983, the terminal jetty on the north
side of Blind Pass (DEP Monument R143) was extended seaward. In 1986, an attached breakwater
was constructed as an extension to the south jetty. In 2006, the south jetty was sand tightened by
placing additional armor stone to close the existing gap between the jetty and the detached
breakwater. Blind Pass closed completely and was formally reopened after an extensive dredging
project in July 2009. The inlet is dredged periodically to nourish the downdrift beach. The most
recent dredging was performed in 2012.
Long Key, Pinellas County: There is a 4.1-mile segment of critically eroded beach on Long Key.
Nourishment is conducted at Upham Beach on the northern gulf shoreline and Pass-A-Grille
Beach on the southern gulf shoreline. Shore protection structures have been built at the north and
south ends of the island. Nourishment of the northern gulf shoreline of the Long Key segment of the
Pinellas County Beach Erosion Control Project has been conducted at least every 5 years since 1980
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Appendix 1 Page 1-77
using sand from Blind Pass, Pass-A-Grille, and Egmont Channel Shoal with Pinellas County as the
local sponsor. Nourishment of the Long Key segment of the Federal Pinellas County Beach Erosion
Control Project was accelerated with construction completed in September of 2006. Nourishment
of Long Key beaches was completed in 2010. The project used material from Blind Pass to fill
Upham Beach on the north end of Long Key.
Pass-A-Grille, Pinellas County: Pass-A-Grille is a natural inlet that has a Federal navigation
channel through it. Navigation improvements to the authorized channel were completed in 1966.
Dredged material from Pass-a-Grille Pass was placed on Long Key in 1986. Dredging of the
Pass-a-Grille ebb shoal was conducted in 2004 with the sand used to nourish Upham Beach,
Sunset Beach, and Pass-a-Grille Beach. Maintenance dredging has not been required to maintain
navigable depths. There have been no additional activities since 2004. USACE is responsible for this
inlet in cooperation with Pinellas County.
Mullet Key, Pinellas County: There is a 1.1-mile segment of critically eroded beach at the south
end of Mullet Key. Mullet Key is managed by Pinellas County as Ft. De Soto Park. In 1973, a
Federal beach erosion control project was constructed at Mullet Key that consisted of beach
restoration along the gulf shoreline using sand obtained from the Egmont Channel. The project
included construction of a groin and revetment at the southwest point of the island. In 1977, beach
nourishment was conducted along the project area and along the bay shoreline using sand from
channel deepening in Tampa Harbor. The Federal project was de-authorized in 1990.
In conjunction with the 2006 maintenance dredging of Tampa Harbor, USACE placed sand and
rehabilitated the groin at the southwest point of the island. There have been no additional activities
at this site since 2006. In cooperation with Pinellas County, USACE is responsible for maintaining
the beach with suitable and available material from navigational dredging and monitoring.
Tropical Storm Debby (2012)
Since 2010, one significant storm event, Tropical Storm Debby June 24-26 in 2012, occurred
resulting in severe beach and dune erosion to Pinellas beaches at: Honeymoon Island State Park,
sections of Sand Key, Sunshine and Sunset beaches on Treasure Island, and Upham and Pass-a-
Grille beaches on Long Key.
The University of South Florida’s (USF’s) Coastal Research Lab staff documented sand volume and
dry beach changes due to Tropical Storm (TS) Debby17. Table 1- 25 provides volume changes to the
dune and dry beach as well as the approximate loss of dry feet in terms of linear distance seaward
from the mean high tide line. For example, Pass-a-Grille lost a total of 22,900 cubic yards of sand
and 25.6 feet of dry beach width as a result of TS Debby.
Sunshine Beach and Sunset Beach on Treasure Island received U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
(USACE) Flood Control and Coastal Emergencies (FCCE) supplemental appropriations funding to
cover the sand losses on those two beaches from TS Debby. Those two beaches were repaired by a
USACE nourishment project in 2014 with costs shared by the USACE, FDEP, and Pinellas County.
The FCCE funding for the construction to replace sand loss from TS Debby on those two beaches
totaled approximately $1.55 million. The beach at Honeymoon Island State Park also lost sand due
to TS Debby. The sand volume loss was calculated to be 19,817 cubic yards at a construction cost of
$239,480 as approved by FEMA to replace the lost sand.

2. Probability
Based on historical trends, coastal erosion occurs several times each year with an average erosion
rate of -0.8 +0.9 meters per year. (National Assessment of Shoreline Change: Part 1 Historical
Shoreline Changes and Associated Coastal Land Loss along the US Gulf of Mexico, pg 27, USGS 2004)
This rate is considered “low” because of the relatively low wave energy along the Gulf coast.
The Bureau of Beaches and Coastal Systems develops and publishes annually the Critically Eroded
Beaches Report. The data from this report is gathered from a set of monitoring locations along the
coast throughout the state. Data is collected from each of these stations, and then compiled into a
GIS database for modeling and analysis. The continual reporting and analysis is combined with the
historical data for detailed records about the status of the state‘s beaches. Erosion is a constantly
changing issue as development continues on the beaches and in the inlets. It can also be instantly
changed by a large storm or a hurricane.
Note that the beach segments in Pinellas County with the highest loss of volume and dry
beach width from TS Debby do not necessarily relate to the beaches subject to the highest
annual mean erosion rates. Some of the wider beaches prior to TS Debby passing through the
area had much more sand volume and dry beach width to lose, and thus, resulted in some of the
higher losses. Conversely, many beaches that chronically erode quickly had very little sand to lose
since much sand had already eroded away prior to the arrival of TS Debby. The estimated mean
annual erosion rates of the hotspot beaches that need nourishment every 4-6 years are:
Sunshine Beach on Treasure Island (R127 to R128; 2006-2014) 24.0 ft /yr
Sunset Beach on Treasure Island (R135 to R141; 2006-2014) 12.8 ft /yr
Upham Beach (1974-79) on Long Key (LK2A to LK5: 2006-2014) 58.1 ft /yr
Sand Key (R58 to R66; 2006-2010) 17.1 ft/yr
Sand Key (R72 to R79; 2006-2010) 5.9 ft/yr
Sand Key (R80 to R85A; 2006-2010) 8.5 ft/yr
Honeymoon Island State Park 10.0 ft/yr
Over the last several years, the northern beach has lost 70-80 feet of the shore-parallel
portion of the parking lot due to erosion resulting in 65 parking spaces being reallocated.
The State Park also had to move more than one bathroom building away from the shoreline
due to erosion.
Pinellas County has a very proactive Coastal Management Program with nourishments occurring
periodically as part of the federal Pinellas County Shore Protection Project at Sand Key (since
1988), Treasure Island (since 1969), and Long Key (since 1980) as well cooperative efforts between
Pinellas and FDEP’s Division of Recreation and Parks to nourish the beach at Honeymoon Island
State Park that began in 1989. The total cost of the Coastal Management Program considering all
three funding sources (federal, state, and local) has averaged about $10 million each year over the
last 10-15 years. The Coastal Management Program overall has provided exceptional upland
infrastructure and private property storm protection over a large fraction of the Pinellas shoreline.
Nevertheless, the entire shoreline designated at “Critically Eroded Beach” by FDEP meets their
definition especially with regard to a threat or loss of upland development, recreation, and wildlife
habitat. In summary, the beach with the greatest potential for threats as described above is Upham
Beach, followed by Honeymoon Island, and then Sunset Beach on Treasure Island. The installation
of structural solutions using T-groin structures to slow erosion at Upham Beach and Honeymoon
Island are expected to significantly lessen the severity of erosion. The project at Upham is expected
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Appendix 1 Page 1-80
to be completed within the next couple of years if funding comes through, and the Honeymoon
Island Project is scheduled to be complete by summer 2015.
3. Vulnerability
Almost the entire length of Pinellas County on the Gulf Coast is lined with fine, white sandy beaches.
These beaches, a main tourism attraction, are highly vulnerable to erosion from coastal events as
well as inland coastal exposures along the county coastline. These events typically have caused
considerable loss of the beachfront and widespread damage to structures that line those beaches.
Erosion will negatively affect the County with a variety of impacts:
• The County’s beaches are eroded away at varying levels at all times and especially by strong
storms and hurricanes.
• Erosion can lead to property damage to residential and commercial structures on or near the
beach, as well as critical infrastructure and public properties.
• Beach erosion can impact transportation facilities such as causeway approaches, marinas and
waterways such as inlets. Historically, erosion has significantly impacted roadways (and
infrastructure) on barrier islands.
• Eroded beaches impact the level of tourism, and this lowers the overall economy of the coastal
areas (particularly the barrier island communities) and the State.
Thus, the vulnerability of Pinellas County to a coastal erosion event is high.
4. Maximum Threat/ Extent
A worst-case scenario would be a pounding of the coastline from a slow-moving category 3, 4, or 5
hurricane on a parallel line to the beaches resulting in a loss of more than 60’ of shoreline. Past
events such as Hurricane Elena (1985) have caused almost complete loss of the beachfront at
certain locations and has had a major economic impact on Pinellas County’s tourism industry,
including a disruption of the collection of tourism development tax, which is approximately $1.3
million per month. Hurricane Elena which never made landfall and remained at least 90 miles
offshore resulted in $120M (1985) in property damage and public assistance.

SINKHOLES
Sinkholes are common where the rock below the land surface is limestone, carbonate rock, salt
beds, or rocks that can naturally be dissolved by ground water circulating through them. As the
rock dissolves, spaces and caverns develop underground. Sinkholes are dramatic because the land
usually stays intact on the surface until the underground spaces get too big. If there is not enough
support for the land above the spaces, then a sudden collapse of the land surface can occur. These
collapses can be small or they can be large, and they can occur under a house or road.
A significant number of sinkholes tend to occur in the years that follow a drought. When an area has
a long-term lack of rain and water levels decrease, there is usually a correlated link to an increase in
incidences of sinkholes being reported. Historically, years where dry weather has been followed by
wet weather have resulted in some of the greatest increases in sinkhole occurrences.
1. History
Sinkholes, a common occurrence in many parts of Florida, have a history of occurring in Pinellas
County. A geological survey conducted for the Pinellas County General Plan (1979) indicates that
the central and northern portions of the County are more prone to sinkhole development due to the
heavy limestone composition of the substrate in the area.
Sinkholes in Pinellas County have generally developed rather slowly and are fairly shallow and
small in diameter. According to an earlier document (1991), in Pinellas County, the 95th percentile
for sinkhole lengths is approximately thirty feet. (Ninety five percent of all the sinkholes are smaller
than this.) The geometric mean is 9.43 width, 10.09’ length and 6.22’ depth.
The Florida Geological Survey maintains a database of sinkholes and subsidence incidents reported
throughout the state. As of October 2014, this database currently has 81 entries for Pinellas
County.
The most significant sinkhole event in the FGS dataset occurred in November 2013, when a 90’ long,
53’ wide, 55’ deep sinkhole severely damaged two single family homes in Dunedin. According to a
St. Petersburg Times report dated November 15, 2013, there were no injuries reported even though
both homes were occupied at the time that the sinkhole occurred. No injuries were reported with
this event, and no property damage value was reported.
Another significant sinkhole occurred on October 24, 1983 in Palm Harbor. According to the St.
Petersburg Times, the sinkhole caused the partial collapse of a concrete block office building used by
W.F. Madsen and Company, an insurance adjustment firm. No injuries were reported with this
event, and no property damage value was reported.
Only a small percentage of sinkhole reports are determined to be actual sinkholes. Most are
subsidence events, resulting from clay shrinkage or fill deterioration. However, most occurrences
of subsidence are incorrectly identified as sinkholes.
Map 1-13 presents the general location of documented sinkhole and subsidence incidents between
1975 and 2014.
2. Probability
There is a high probability that sinkholes will develop in the sinkhole-prone areas of the County.
Historically, the annual probability of sinkholes would be approximately 2 per year. However,
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Appendix 1 Page 1-83
based on historic loss, there is a low probability that these sinkholes will be large enough to cause
extensive damage or causalities.
3. Vulnerability
Based on historical and geological information, Pinellas County is moderately vulnerable to
sinkhole occurrences. Most sinkhole or other subsidence events in Pinellas County do not cause
injury or property damage. Of the 81 events in Pinellas County form 1975 to 2014 listed in the
Florida Geological Survey dataset (FGS, 2014), 26 were reported to have caused property damage.
Much of the property damage caused by these sinkholes and subsidence events was relatively
minor, including damage or destruction of a shed, a carport, part of a seawall, and several instances
where small portions of roadways sustained minor damage. Of the sinkhole or other subsidence
events that were reported to have caused property damage, the majority were between 12’ and 20’
long and wide and 5 to 10’ deep. Future sinkholes of this size have the potential to cause similar
types of property damage to those listed above, though a similar sinkhole that occurs directly
beneath a building or roadway could cause injury from falling debris or partial structure collapse.
The most significant sinkhole event listed in the FGS dataset for Pinellas County occurred in
November 2013, when a 90’ x 53’ sinkhole severely damaged two single family homes in Dunedin.
According to a St. Petersburg Times report dated November 15, 2013, there were no injuries
reported even though both homes were occupied at the time that the 55’ deep sinkhole occurred
and caused the partial collapse of both homes. That event occurred relatively slowly, over a period
of a couple of hours. However, a similar-sized sinkhole that collapses more quickly could cause
injuries or loss of life under certain circumstances, such if a home’s occupants are sleeping, or if a
larger multifamily structure were affected. A quick-collapse sinkhole of this size that happens to
occur under a roadway could also cause injuries or deaths to occupants of vehicles that are stopped
on the road (at a stoplight or because of traffic congestion) or that unknowingly drive into the
depression in low-visibility conditions before the road is closed to traffic.
4. Maximum Threat/ Extent
The maximum threat would be a sinkhole of unprecedented size, similar to the one that developed
in Winter Park, Florida, in 1981, occurring in downtown Clearwater in the vicinity of Gulf-to-Bay
Blvd. and North Ft. Harrison Ave., during a work day. With a depth of 100 feet, a sinkhole of this
size would cause an enormous amount of property damage and possible fatalities and injuries to
the area work force. Based on historic events, a more realistic threat would indicate the maximum
characteristics would be 100’ wide, 60’ length and 60’ depth. In a populated downtown area, this
would still result in the loss of infrastructure (roadways, utilities) and multiple buildings in a 1-
block area and millions of dollars in property damage. Secondary impacts would be the subsequent
loss of property value in and around the area including adjacent neighborhoods, increased
insurance premiums and potential for disinvestment.

Emerging Hazards with Climate Change
Climate change affects our environment and natural resources,
and may impact our way of life. For example:
Warmer temperatures increase the frequency, intensity,
and duration of heat waves, which can pose health risks,
particularly for young children and the elderly.
Rising sea levels threaten coastal economies and
ecosystems.
Increased stormwater flooding of low lying areas
resulting from sea level rise.
Changes in the patterns and amount of rainfall, as well
as changes in the timing and amount of stream flow, can
increase the risk of wildfires, affect water quality and
drinking water availability.
Changing ecosystems influence geographic ranges of
many plant and animal species and the timing of their
lifecycle events, such as migration and reproduction.
Increases in the frequency and intensity of extreme
weather events, such as heat waves, droughts, and
floods, can increase losses to property, cause costly disruptions to society, and reduce the
availability and affordability of insurance.
SEA LEVEL RISE AND COASTAL HAZARDS
Climate change could affect coastal areas in a variety of ways. Coasts are sensitive to sea level rise,
changes in the frequency and intensity of storms, increases in precipitation, and warmer ocean
temperatures.
In the Southeast, sea level has risen steadily over the last 100 years at a rate of 8.5 inches per
century. As average global ocean temperatures increase, ocean water expands and sea levels rise.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (ARS, 2013) estimates that sea level will to rise
from 10-39 inches by 2100. For comparison, the latest (2014) National Climate Assessment states
that the sea level rise of 1 to 4 feet is projected by 2100. Pinellas County is working with the
technical experts to determine the best way to demonstrate their recommended scenarios, which
have a range of increases in sea level rise based on the different scenarios.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has developed a tool to visualize the
potential impacts of sea level rise on coastal communities. The viewer is currently operational for
Mississippi, Alabama, Texas, and Florida, with additional coastal counties to be added in the near
future.
Climate change refers to
any significant change in
the measures of climate
lasting for an extended
period of time. In other
words, climate change
includes major changes in
temperature, precipitation,
or wind patterns, among
other effects, that occur
over several decades or
longer. (EPA)
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy

We can prepare for some of the likely climate change impacts to reduce their effect on ecosystem
and human well-being. Making such preparations is known as adaptation. Examples of adaptation
include strengthening water conservation programs, upgrading stormwater systems, developing
early warning systems for extreme heat events, and preparing for stronger storms through better
emergency preparation and response strategies. (Source: EPA,
http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/science/overview.html)
ADAPTATION PLANNING STRATEGIES
(Source: http://www.floridajobs.org/community-planning-and-development/ )
Adaptation to sea level rise is the steps a community takes to become more resilient to the impacts
of rising seas over a period of time. The three main strategies a community may use to adapt to sea
level rise are:
1. Protection - Protection strategies involve "hard" and "soft" structurally defensive measures
to mitigate the impacts of rising seas, such as shoreline armoring or beach renourishment,
in order to decrease vulnerability yet allow structures and infrastructure in the area to
remain unaltered. Protection strategies may be targeted for areas of a community that are
location-dependent cannot be significantly changed structurally (i.e., downtown centers,
areas of historical significance, water-dependent uses, etc.).
2. Accommodation - Accommodation strategies do not act as a barrier, but rather alter the
design through measures such as elevation or stormwater improvements, to allow the
structure or infrastructure system to stay in place. Adaptation measures do not preventing
flooding or inundation of the property but do protect the structure. Accommodation
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Appendix 1 Page 1-87
strategies may be suitable for location-dependent structure that could be changed to
accommodate water, without compromising the use (i.e., bridge elevation, residential home
elevation, downtown stormwater improvements, etc.).
3. Retreat/Relocate - Retreat strategies involve the actual removal of existing development
and possible relocation to other areas and the prevention of future development in these
high risk areas. Retreat options usually involve the acquisition of vulnerable land for public
ownership, but may also include other strategies such as transfer of development rights,
purchase of development rights, rolling easements, conservation easements, etc.
Research and planning initiatives are ongoing at the global, national, state, regional and local levels
to address potential impacts from climate change. The focus is on resiliency and the ability to
mitigate impact, protect investments and ensure our ability to recover from natural hazards and
processes. Below are examples of these current initiatives.
FLORIDA COMMUNITY RESILIENCY INITIATIVE: PLANNING FOR ADAPTATION
In 2012 the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity kicked-off a five-year project to integrate
adaptation to potential sea level rise into current planning mechanisms including the local
comprehensive plan, local hazard mitigation plan and post-disaster redevelopment plan. This effort
is steered by a Focus Group of statewide experts on adaptation and coastal vulnerability as well as
stakeholders in the coastal area. First the Department will research similar efforts in other states as
well as how the "adaptation action area" may be implemented at the local level. Next adaptation
planning will be piloted in at least two communities. Finally all lessons learned will be compiled and
disseminated statewide. The Department has received additional funding to work with the City of
Ft. Lauderdale as they integrate Adaptation Action Areas into their local comprehensive plan.
ONE BAY: RESILIENT COMMUNITIES
ONE BAY began in 2007 as a visioning exercise with more than 300 people spreading 50,000 LEGOs
over large-scale maps in an effort to imagine the future growth of the Tampa Bay region. Input from
this “Reality Check” and additional community-based exercises was analyzed to develop three
alternative growth scenarios for the Tampa Bay region. The scenarios were presented to citizens as
a tool to help refine public discourse and generate consensus around a set of guiding principles. The
following principles emerged as result of this collaborative public engagement strategy:
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Appendix 1 Page 1-88
The ONE BAY Vision provides guidance for local governments looking toward future urbanization
within their individual jurisdictions. As a ONE BAY partner, the Tampa Bay Regional Planning
Council has established a technical Working Group of public and private practitioners in the four-
county region in order to maintain a broad coalition of support for, promote a deeper
understanding of and ensure the practical application of the principles of ONE BAY. Since 2008,
these developers, urban designers, planners, business leaders, community organizers and private
citizens have used the Working Group as an open forum to discuss strategies for improving the
built environment, natural environment and mobility in the Tampa Bay region. The ONE BAY
Working Group also acts as catalyst for building new partnerships throughout the region.
Historically, the Working Group has served as a strategic taskforce addressing the most pressing
issues facing the region. For example, with the formation of the Tampa Bay Area Regional Transit
Authority and the potential to bring new public transit projects online, the Working Group
previously focused its efforts on creating the tools, strategies and policies necessary to support
transit-oriented development and position the region for success should these projects come to
fruition. With the prospect of these and other major transportation improvement projects being
constructed in coastal areas in Tampa Bay, combined with recent attention to flood insurance
reforms and coastal flooding hazards, the TBRPC believes that coastal resiliency planning and
regional sea level rise coordination are timely issues that deserve a dedicated regional forum such
as the one offered by the ONE BAY Working Group.
In 2011, TBRPC joined the USF Patel College for Global Sustainability and other regional partners to
bring awareness Tampa Bay Region’s vulnerability issues and highlight the challenges associated
with developing resiliency solutions. The Resilient Tampa Bay workshop brought together over
200 participants representing government, academia, business interests and community groups to
discuss the issues related to the Tampa Bay region’s vulnerability to hurricanes, extreme rainfall
events and sea level rise. This workshop represented an early step in the long-term process of
improving resiliency in the Tampa Bay Region. Some of the outcomes of the Resilient Tampa Bay
effort included:
Recognition of the need for a regional approach to improve the resiliency of Tampa Bay area
communities
Consensus among workshop participants that a regional resiliency strategy should include a
component to inform and educate citizens, stakeholders and decision makers about the
vulnerabilities of the Tampa Bay region
Identification of effective information-building and outreach strategies such as data
gathering and analysis, establishment of benchmarks and tracking of metrics, and
development of visualization tools to communicate complex information
Recognition that a regional partnership, such as the ONE BAY regional visioning effort, as an
appropriate vehicle to promote the importance of and provide outreach regarding regional
resiliency
To address these needs and provide cohesion among the ad hoc efforts related to sea level rise and
coastal hazards currently underway in the region, the Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council
initiated a resiliency planning effort using the ONE BAY framework and Working Group. In 2014,
TBRPC received a NOAA Coastal Resilience Networks grant in support of this effort to establish a
common approach to understanding, communicating and planning for coastal hazards. In addition
to the professionals already engaged in the efforts of the Working Group, the Tampa Bay Regional
Planning Council will bring emergency managers, academics, scientists, resource managers and
decision-makers together to learn about vulnerability to sea level rise and climate-induced changes
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Appendix 1 Page 1-89
to hurricanes and precipitation regimes. The Working Group will strive to improve the quality of
life in the region by ensuring that our natural, built and socio-economic environments can
effectively adapt to and recover from these types coastal hazards. Through this initiative, the
Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council will:
Enhance the existing ONE BAY Working Group to convene an in-person network of
practitioners for information sharing related to sea level rise and other coastal resilience
issues.
Participate in the development of and promote a regionally determined, science-based
consensus on a common sea level rise projection scenario for planning purposes and policy
development consistency.
Identify, develop and enhance existing decision-support tools such as GIS models,
risk/vulnerability assessments, model ordinances, Best Management Practices, etc.
Provide technical assistance for adaptation planning; incorporating sea level rise and other
coastal hazards into comprehensive plans, land development regulations, local mitigation
strategies, business continuity plans, etc.
Create a website that inventories existing Tampa Bay-specific research, programmatic
efforts and decision support tools and identifies relevant information gaps.
The Tampa Bay region has much invested in developing its ONE BAY Vision. Forward-looking
regional leaders have identified the importance of not only developing a vision for the future of the
region, but also in implementing the guiding principles to make the ONE BAY Vision a reality. While
our proximity to the water is a driving force behind what makes the Tampa Bay Region a great
place to live, work and play, it is not without significant risks. In order for the ONE BAY Vision to
manifest and endure the test of time, it is crucial that the region’s continued development occur
with the explicit intent of being resilient to coastal hazards. Our land use plans, land development
regulations, local mitigation strategies and other relevant decision support systems must be
governed by consensus and the best available science. The ONE BAY: Resilient Communities
Working Group represents the next logical step in implementing the ONE BAY Vision and ensuring
that the region possesses the resilience necessary to continue to thrive for years to come.
In 2014, TBRPC received a NOAA Resiliency Grant which will enhance the region’s ability to
establish a common approach to understanding, communicating and planning for coastal hazards
represents the next logical step in implementing the ONE BAY Vision and ensuring that the region
possesses the resilience necessary to continue to thrive for years to come.
There also needs to be a discussion of local government planning and initiatives to implement
policies in local comprehensive plans that recognize and address the issues associated with climate
change and sea level rise.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The climate of the Southeast United States and Pinellas County is likely to change in the next
decades. While the extent of these changes is subject of intense debate, it is important to prepare
for the range of potential challenges posed by climate change by becoming a more efficient society,
reducing greenhouse gas emissions, identifying vulnerable sectors of society, and developing
adaptation strategies. (http://climatecenter.fsu.edu/ )
Along these lines, the Local Mitigation Strategy will be updated over the next 5 years with, at a
minimum, consideration given to how best:
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Appendix 1 Page 1-90
To analyze and determine the vulnerability of our communities to a changing climate;
To include climate change into areas of risk, where applicable;
To include products from work with the MPO regarding transportation infrastructure
resiliency;
To include any regional sea-level increase data that may also be recommended by the
Regional Climate Adaptation Working Group (facilitated by Pinellas County UF/IFAS
Extension), One Bay Disaster Resiliency Group and consideration of the inclusion of sea
level risk impacts in local Floodplain Management Plans;
To include modifications to ensure recognition and the implementation of CRS programs
within the county;
To include recognition to consequence management and other emergency management
programs and certifications, as appropriate; and
To include updates to vulnerable populations and county areas.
These recommendations are reflected in a new Goal for the LMS (Appendix 4) and in the Mitigation
Initiatives (Appendix 9).
Federally Declared Disasters in Pinellas County
Because of its subtropical location and long coastline, Pinellas County (including its municipalities)
is vulnerable to tropical cyclones, which include tropical storms and hurricanes. However, different
areas of the County vary in degree of vulnerability, especially to high winds and storm surge from
tropical cyclones. Flooding in Pinellas County results primarily from heavy rainfall and tidal surge
caused by tropical storms and hurricanes (FEMA, 2009). Table 1-27 lists the federally declared
disasters in Pinellas County as summarized in the FEMA Disaster Declarations Summary
https://explore.data.gov/Other/FEMA-Disaster-Declarations-
Summary/uihf-be6u (FEMA, 2012).

Technological Hazards Affecting Pinellas County
Technological hazards are those that are caused by tools, machines,
and substances that are used every day. The major technological
hazards that will be discussed in this section are hazardous
materials and radiological accidents, as well as a brief discussion of
pipeline vulnerability and oil spills.
AIRCRAFT INCIDENTS
1. History
St. Petersburg-Clearwater International Airport and its tenants currently employ a total of 1600
people on site. As of the end of 2003, its annual economic impact was estimated to be $783 million.
In 2003 a total of 997,761 domestic and international passengers and 18,471 tons of air cargo
traveled through the airport. An estimated 212,714 aircraft operations (take off and landings)
occurred at the facility. From May 1994 to present, there have been eight accidents resulting in
three deaths and eight injuries to crew and passengers.
Albert Whitted Municipal Airport is a general aviation facility. It supports general, specialized and
charter aviation. User agencies include BayFlite medical air transport, Florida Highway Patrol air
services, and a local banner towing company. In 2003 the airport averaged 100,000 aircraft
operations which included 2,500 charter flights. Since 1995, there have been three aircraft
accidents involving landings in the water of Tampa Bay. There have been no fatalities during this
same time.
Clearwater Airpark is a general aviation airport with mostly piston airplanes, two corporate
airplanes and one helicopter. They do an average of 60,000 operations annually. In 1988, an
airplane crashed into the side of a house near the airport; the pilot died. In 1997, a student pilot ran
an airplane into a ditch; there were no injuries. In 2002 a twin engine aircraft crashed in a
residential area while on final approach. Of the three people on board, two were fatalities. In
January of 2004 two single engine aircraft collided near the airport. One was approaching the
facility while the other was departing. One of the aircraft crashed in a field adjacent to a recreation
facility killing the pilot. The other aircraft was able to make a safe landing at the airport. In 2014 a
small aircraft crashed into the median of McMullen-Booth Road killing 2 of the 3 passengers. No
reported damages on the ground.
2. Probability
The probability of minor aircraft accidents in Pinellas County is high and of major accidents, low.
3. Vulnerability
Although the entire County must be considered vulnerable, the areas with the highest vulnerability
are along the designated flight paths of the three airports in Pinellas County and Tampa
International Airport in Hillsborough County. A greater vulnerability exists on the flight paths for
the St. Petersburg-Clearwater International Airport and Tampa International, simply because of the
high volume of large passenger and cargo aircraft that utilize each facility.
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Appendix 1 Page 1-93
4. Maximum Threat/ Extent
The crash of a large passenger aircraft into a densely populated area in either St. Petersburg or
Pinellas Park represents the maximum threat in the southern portion of the County. In the north,
the same situation exists if a large aircraft would crash in Safety Harbor, or striking the Countryside
High School, during a school day. In either case, the crash would threaten 50 to 100 homes and
200-400 people. The crash of a large aircraft into Countryside High School would place over 2,700
staff and students at risk. In this situation, it is expected that fatalities and injuries would be
extremely high.
RAILROAD / WATERWAY INCIDENTS
1. History
CSX Transportation (CSXT) is the only operator of a railroad system in Pinellas County, which is
only freight. There is one set of tracks with 97 crossings, of which 63 have gates. The Federal
Railroad Administration reports that there were four railroad incidents on CSXT facilities in the last
20 years. Two were minor accidents at railroad crossings and two were a track defect causing a
minor derailment. The last incident occurred at the Tampa Port. There were no injuries or
fatalities in any cases.
The following are significant historical waterway accidents in the waterways in/near Pinellas
County:
January 28, 1980: USCGC Blackthorn, a 180-foot seagoing buoy tender, and the tanker SS
Capricorn collided near the Sunshine Skyway Bridge. The Blackthorn capsized and sank, killing
23 of her crew.
May 9, 1980: The freighter MV Summit Venture collided with a support column of the Sunshine
Skyway in a thunderstorm, causing a section of the bridge to collapse. Six cars, a truck, and a
passenger bus fell into the water, killing 35 people.
August 10, 1993: Two fuel barges and a phosphate freighter collided near the entrance to
Tampa Bay, causing a spill of about 330,000 gallons of heavy fuel oil and 32,000 gallons of jet
fuel, diesel, and gasoline.
2. Probability
The probability of a rail or waterway accident is generally low. CSXT operates trains daily but
usually at very low speeds. With 97 crossings, there is always a risk of an accident. A large
derailment is very unlikely; however some railcars do carry hazardous materials such as chlorine
and ammonia. There is a significant amount of waterway traffic through the Skyway into Tampa
Bay. The probability of either occurrence is approximately 1 in 7 years.
3. Vulnerability
If an accident should occur, it would most like affect the area immediately surrounding the accident
scene. Traffic congestion would be the largest impact. A hazardous material leak from a tank car
may affect a larger area but it is also considered localized. The waterway hazard also carries the
significant risk of environmental impacts (spills of fuel or potentially hazardous materials).
4. Maximum Threat/ Extent
An incident such as the MV Summit Venture in 1980 which struck the Skyway Bridge represents a
serious threat impacting the transportation infrastructure (highway and port) and economy as well
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Appendix 1 Page 1-94
as injuries and loss of life. A derailment of a rail car carrying hazardous materials could also pose a
significant threat to local neighborhoods and major transportation facilities.
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS (FIXED FACILITY)
Hazardous Materials (HazMat) refers generally to hazardous substances, petroleum, natural gas,
synthetic gas, and acutely toxic chemicals. The term Extremely Hazardous Substance (EHS) is used
in Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 to refer to those
chemicals that could cause serious health effects following short-term exposure from accidental
releases.
With the passage of the Federal Emergency Planning and Community Right-To-Know Act (EPCRA)
in 1986, the division began implementation of a statewide Hazardous Materials Emergency
Planning Program. For the first time, passage of the EPCRA allowed emergency planners,
responders, and the public access to facility-specific information regarding the identification,
location, and quantity of particular hazardous materials at fixed sites.
The law requires facilities with threshold quantities of federally mandated substances to report
annually to state and local emergency officials. In addition, facilities must immediately notify
officials of any releases of harmful chemicals that have the potential to result in offsite
consequences. This information is utilized to prepare emergency plans for hazardous materials
incidents, to allow responders to receive training based on specific known threats, and to inform
and educate the public regarding the chemicals present in their communities. Florida has more than
4,500 fixed facility locations that report the presence of an EHS in federally mandated threshold
amounts.
1. History
One hundred and twenty sites in the county produce, store, or use extremely hazardous substances
in reportable quantities. The Pinellas County Hazardous Materials Response Team responded to
450 incidents in 2002 and 419 in 2003. The majority of these releases are small, affecting only the
building of origin and, in a few instances, immediately adjacent buildings.
2. Probability
The probability of a release or spill is high. Chlorine is the most abundant extremely hazardous
substance stored and used in Pinellas County. In recent years, the number of facilities with
extremely hazardous materials has significantly dropped as many users of chlorine have converted
to less toxic materials. Approximately half of both Clearwater and St. Petersburg facilities (Waste
Treatment Plants, community pools, etc.) have converted from chlorine.
3. Vulnerability
Vulnerability to a release or spill is moderate, depending on the amount and type of material, and
the location of the release. The Pinellas County Hazardous Materials Response Team has 105
members trained to the technician level, 25-35 of whom are on duty at any time. The Haz Mat
Team’s capabilities are instrumental in minimizing the effects of spills and/or releases on the
citizens of the County. Map 1-14 presents the location of 302 facilities, those businesses which store
extremely hazardous materials.
4. Maximum Threat/ Extent
The largest threat is from Brenntag Mid-South, a facility that stores approximately 1.25 million
pounds of chlorine (maximum) on site. The chlorine is repackaged at the facility into containers of
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Appendix 1 Page 1-95
various sizes, contributing to the possibility for a leak or other release to occur. The facility is
located in the center of the County. A release of the worst case would be the failure of one of the
largest containers, on a day with high humidity, little to no wind, and during tourist season. This
would be an 180,000 pound (one rail car) release at 1.0 miles per hour wind speed, atmospheric
stability class D that would generate a vulnerability zone of at least a 10 mile radius from the site.
The potential number of citizens affected by this incident could be well over 500,000 persons,
depending on time of day and year.
Map 1- 14: Extremely Hazardous Material Storage Locations (302 Facilities)
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Appendix 1 Page 1-96
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS (TRANSPORTATION)
1. History: Spills or releases from road transport vehicles are common. Maritime accidents have
occurred, but are rare. There have been no rail incidents in the last 10 years.
2. Probability: The probability of a hazardous materials transportation incident is moderate.
The event most likely to occur is a road transport vehicle accident, conceivably a tanker truck.
3. Vulnerability: Five major roadway corridors service the County from the north, east, and
south. Marine delivery routes border the county on the east, south, and west. One main railroad
corridor services the county. Thus the county is vulnerable to a transportation accident.
4. Maximum Threat/ Extent: Rail deliveries of chlorine to Clearwater pose the largest threat.
The threat would exactly duplicate the Hazardous Materials (fixed facility) scenario above,
except that the location would be unknown. This incident could occur at any point along the rail
delivery corridor throughout the northern half of the county.
POWER FAILURE
1. History: Pinellas County receives its power from the Anclote River and Weedon Island Power
Plants located in the County (Duke Energy) and, in the northern area from Tampa Big Bend Plant
(TECO Energy). To date, the County has never experienced a total loss of power. However, in
December 1989, as a result of severely cold temperatures, the demand for power exceeded
availability. The power company rationed the power by conducting “rolling brown-outs.” This
procedure alternated the power supply temporarily to parts of the County on a grid by grid basis.
2. Probability: There is a low probability that a total power failure will occur in Pinellas County;
although, if it were to happen, the impact would be extremely high. Since the County is so densely
populated, and there is a high number of elderly who are electrically dependent, an extended
period without power would have a significant impact. In addition, telecommunications is
dependent upon power, so an extended outage would have a substantial economic impact.
3. Vulnerability: The power corridors span approximately 100 miles above ground from the
power plants to Pinellas County. This main transmission lines that serve the County are vulnerable
to being damaged or destroyed by wildfire, tornado, aircraft crash, acts of terror, and extremely hot
or cold temperatures. There is also growing concern from cyber security threats. This was
identified in the State of Florida THIRA, 2014.
4. Maximum Threat/ Extent: A tornado, hurricane or wildfire destroying a large segment of the
power corridor is the maximum threat likely to affect both Pinellas County’s power source and
distribution systems. If the outage lasts more than a few days, it would affect critical infrastructure
including water/waste water systems, health care facilities, communications and transportation.

Appendix 1 Page 1-97
CIVIL DISTURBANCE
Civil disturbances are public crises that occur with or without warning and that may adversely
affect significant portions of the population. These disturbances may be the actions of any number
of persons causing disruption of the populace.
1. History: Political demonstrations occur in Pinellas County often but usually with few
consequences. Between 2003-2004, the City of Pinellas Park was the center of a controversial
right-to-die case that saw several peaceful demonstrations. Other recent demonstrations have
occurred at political rallies, religious events, and military support locations, protesting the war on
terrorism. These demonstrations tend to be very localized with little or no community impacts.
Civil disturbances occur infrequently but have been quite large in the past. The City of St.
Petersburg was wracked by two but related civil disturbances in late 1996. Several hundred people
in southern St. Petersburg took to the streets to protest a controversial police shooting that killed a
young man, damaging property and threatening first responders for seven hours on Oct 25, 1996.
Tensions remained high into November 1996 when the police officer involved in the shooting was
exonerated. Hundreds of people again rioted for three days setting businesses on fire and shooting
at fire department personnel responding to those fires. St. Petersburg sustained more than $3.1
million in property damage and expended $1.2 million in response costs. The police arrested 78
adults and 2 juveniles. Twenty-three first responders received minor injuries.
2. Probability: The potential for civil disturbance is always present especially in the urbanized
areas of the county. Since 1996, however, Pinellas law enforcement and community agencies have
instituted several successful programs that have opened communication lines preventing conflicts
to escalate between conflicting parties. Social, political, and economic factors are very dynamic and
must be monitored to gauge the threat of civil unrest.
3. Vulnerability: Pinellas County’s economy and its businesses are the most vulnerable to civil
unrest. Demonstrations tend to be localized in small areas but history has shown that damage and
expenses can cost $ millions. First responders are more likely to be injured when responding to
civil disturbances.
4. Maximum Threat/ Extent: An occurrence such as what happened din 1996 in St. Petersburg
remains a threat as the country saw in 2014 in Missouri. Our local communities and law
enforcement have incorporated many of the lessons learned from our experiences as well as those
in other areas; however, circumstances have and can become highly volatile if underlying issues are
not addressed.
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Appendix 1 Page 1-98
COASTAL OIL SPILL
Given Florida‘s dependence on tourism and the related
sales tax revenue an oil spill that affected any of
Florida‘s many natural treasures could be catastrophic.
The Florida impacts of the 2010 BP Deepwater Horizon
blowout were mostly limited and contained, but the
predictions at the time of potential impacts were severe.
Moody‘s Analytics released a report which stated, should
a significant amount of oil wash onto Florida‘s shores,
the economic impact from tourism-related tax revenue and job losses could rival that of the ongoing
recession and ―simulate a double dip recession‖. In addition to economic impacts, an oil spill in
Florida or off its shores could have severe consequences for wildlife, ecosystems, and the ecology.
1. History: Pinellas County is surrounded by water with hundreds of commercial and private
marine vessels traveling its waterways daily. The Port of Tampa resides to the east of the county
and is one of the busiest in the Gulf of Mexico, making the probability of a major spill more likely to
occur. The last major incident occurred in 1993 when three ships collided at the entrance to Tampa
Bay causing a major fire and oil spill, which affected the southern third of the county significantly.
More than 330,000 gallons of No. 6 oil were spilled following a three vessel collision. In July 1993
the U.S. Coast Guard responded to the worst hazardous materials incident in recent history
involving the motor vessel OCELOT. In September 1995, the USCG also responded to a 5000-gallon
diesel spill in the east Tampa Bay requiring multiple clean-up contractors. The spill would later
prove to be the nation's fifth most resource intensive oil spill that year at a cost of $500,000. Small
fuel spills occur in the waters surrounding Pinellas on a daily basis. Most are due to overfilling boat
fuel tanks and a few due to boat sinking. Law enforcement agencies routinely receive reports of
illegal oil dumping from the public.
2. Probability: It is difficult to determine when the next major oil spill will occur. History
indicates that they are usually the result of accidents and collisions. Pinellas County Environmental
Management, Sheriff’s Office, and the U.S. Coast Guard have programs in place for safe water
navigation and marina management that are successful. Despite these programs, an oil spill is most
likely going to be the result of carelessness or negligence. Little or no spill warning is also likely.
3. Vulnerability: Because Pinellas County is a peninsula almost completely surrounded by water,
its vulnerability to coastal pollutants and spills is moderately high. The coastal resources are prime
attractions for visitors and tourists. Approximately 14,000 acres of Pinellas County’s 31,000 acres
of open space is considered environmentally sensitive, which the majority is along some sort of
waterway. As such, their damage or loss can cause significant impact to the economic vitality of the
county and its municipalities.
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Appendix 1 Page 1-99
MASS MIGRATION
There is little history of mass migration into the county. Although Pinellas is located along the west
Florida coast, it is too far for most makeshift or small boats to reach it from Cuba, Caribbean islands,
or Central America. Any illegal immigrants entering the county are likely to come into south Florida
and filter up or a few may come as stowaway on commercial boats and aircraft.
NUCLEAR POWER PLANT
There are no nuclear power plants in Pinellas County. The nearest plant is the Crystal River Power
Plant located in Crystal River (Citrus County). This plant has been closed; although there is some
material stored at the site. This risk of a catastrophic release of radioactive material at the plant is
extremely low. Even if one were to occur, the prevailing winds would tend to blow most of the
radioactive isotopes towards the east. Pinellas County is located outside the plant’s 50-mile
ingestion pathway.
TERRORISM
Terrorism is defined in the Code of Federal Regulations as ―the unlawful
use of force and violence against persons or property to intimidate or
coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in
furtherance of political or social objectives. It is the use of force or
violence against persons or property in violation of the criminal laws of
the United States for purposes of intimidation, coercion, or ransom.
If a terrorist incident occurs in a city or county, communities may
receive assistance from both state and federal agencies under the
existing Integrated Emergency Management System. The Department of
Homeland Security is the lead federal agency for supporting state and
local response to the consequences of terrorist attacks. Terrorism is
often categorized as ―domestic or ―international. The following
descriptions explain the difference:
Domestic terrorism involves groups or individuals whose terrorist activities are directed at
elements of the U.S. government or population without foreign direction.
International terrorism involves groups or individuals whose terrorist activities are foreign-
based and/or directed by countries or groups outside the United States or whose activities
transcend national boundaries.
1. History: There has never been a known terrorist incident in Pinellas County, although a young
despondent individual did fly a plane from St. Pete Clearwater Airport into a large building in
Tampa following the tragic events of September 11, 2001. Pinellas County does host large events
and supports security initiatives for major events in the region such as the Super Bowl (2011) and
Republican National Convention (2012).
2. Probability: The probability of a terrorism incident in the County is low to moderate.
3. Vulnerability: Vulnerability to an incident of terrorism is moderate. The County recently has
conducted and been involved in numerous large scale multi-jurisdictional terrorism exercises. Joint
planning efforts with a number of response agencies are currently under way. It is expected that
resultant changes in a number of procedures will ultimately minimize the potential effects of a
terror incident, should one occur. According to the Regional Domestic Security Task Force, the
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Appendix 1 Page 1-100
sector most at risk is Commercial Facilities. The threat category contributing the most risk is IED
(Incendiary Explosive Device).
4. Maximum Threat/ Extent: Considering the large population concentration in the County, the
likelihood of affecting a large number of persons is great. The threat increases with the large influx
of tourists during the winter months. Annually, approximately 5 million persons visited the County.
OTHER: SPECIAL EVENTS
1. History: There are several major special events that occur in Pinellas County each year. Some
of the larger events include the Epiphany in Tarpon Springs, Grand Prix in St. Petersburg, and Jazz
concerts in Coachman Park, Clearwater. Attendances can range from a few thousand to several
dozens of thousands. History shows that there are seldom problems that are out of the norm at
these events. Medical emergencies from food poisoning, dehydration, alcohol consumption, and
falls tend to be the most problematic of occurrences.
Table 1- 29: Special Events in Pinellas County
Venue Capacity Location
Tropicana Field 45,000 St. Petersburg
Brighthouse Field 8,500 Clearwater
Bobby Mattick Training Center 3,417 Dunedin
Eckerd Performing Arts 2,184 Clearwater
Tradewind Island Resort & Convention Center 2,000 St. Pete Beach
2. Probability: There are so many events with large crowds in confined areas; the impact of any
emergency can be quite high. The chances of a large impact at any given event, however, are low
due to the extensive planning and security measures that are in place.
3. Vulnerability: The participants of a special event are most vulnerable to medical emergencies.
Many events occur during hot, humid days. Events with alcohol sales are most vulnerable. The
crowds are also vulnerable to fires or hazardous material releases. Even civil unrest can pose
problems at controversial events such as a political rally.
4. Maximum Threat/ Extent: A terrorist attack (domestic and international), airline crash or
fire at a major sporting event represents the greatest threat affecting thousands of attendees. Mass
casualty exercises occur annually in the region to ensure readiness of responders and health care
professionals.
OTHER: WATER SUPPLY
1. History: Most of Pinellas County receives its potable water from a regional water supply
system, Tampa Bay Water, which draws from sources in Pinellas, Pasco, and Hillsborough Counties.
Water is transmitted to the County through 84", 36" and 48" transmission mains. The cities of
Dunedin and Belleair have their own water supply and transmission systems, which do not require
dependence on sources outside of the County. Clearwater and Tarpon Springs also have their own
resources to a lesser extent, although they continue to rely on Pinellas County Utilities to provide
potable water. The County and cities have agreements to exchange water on an emergency basis.
To date, Pinellas County’s water source has never been totally severed. However scheduled and
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Appendix 1 Page 1-101
unscheduled repairs have occurred. Normally when repairs are scheduled, interconnections with
municipal systems can be used as a backup to minimize the impact on the availability of water and
water pressure.
2. Probability: There is a low probability that total failure in the water system will occur in
Pinellas County. Interconnections between municipal, regional, and county transmission lines help
to maintain the availability of potable water, albeit at a reduced rate. Many prudent actions have
been taken to protect the integrity of the system, such as multiple generators being connected to
the system to ensure the power source is not interrupted.
3. Vulnerability: Pinellas County is extremely vulnerable since almost all (96%) current sources
are from outside the County’s control and the daily demand is extremely high.
4. Maximum Threat/ Extent: The maximum threat that is likely to occur to Pinellas County’s
water source is the intentional contamination of the water supply. However, such an act of
terrorism would require great planning and access to tremendous resources and would be very
difficult to execute effectively.
OTHER: EPIDEMIC/DISEASE OUTBREAK
1. History:
There is little history of epidemic or zoonoses cases in Pinellas County. However, the usual suspect
diseases associated with a densely populated community such as Hepatitis A-C and Salmonellas
occur frequently. Influenza cases have been high in the last few years and public health official
expect them to remain high. There have been 11 cases of West Nile Virus in the last ten years.
Rabies in raccoon populations can be problematic at times. The recent outbreak of Ebola in Africa
(2014) has many residents concerned given the number of international visitors to the county.
An epidemic or pandemic is likely to be a prolonged and widespread outbreak that could require
changes in many areas of society, such as schools, work, transportation and other public services.
The Pinellas Emergency Management and Health Departments have placed a higher priority on
planning for public health emergencies as newer disease threats such as SARS, Avian Influenza, and
bio-terrorism have emerged.
Disease among the plant kingdom is low but there are newer diseases and some recurring diseases
such as Citrus Canker that agriculture specialists are monitoring annually. Sudden Oak Death (SOD)
is one of those diseases that is threatening Florida’s oak trees. Florida receives many of its plant
nursery stock from California where SOD is widespread devastating its oak tree populations. The
rapid spread of Sudden Oak Death Disease across so many native plant species is unprecedented,
and continues to amaze plant pathologists.
2. Probability: The probability of any disease outbreak that affects the large Pinellas population
still remains low. However, each specific disease has its own set of risk factors and probabilities
that influence the overall risks. These factors include world traffic patterns of people and animals,
virulence, surveillance systems, and early detection systems. For example, Avian Influenza cases
are expected to reach Pinellas within the next few years. Public health officials expect the initial
cases to be confined to bird-to-bird contact, which may not constitute an outbreak. However, the
public’s fears of bird-to-human and ultimately, human-to-human contact, would continue to rise
due to media attention.
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Appendix 1 Page 1-102
3. Vulnerability: Overall, Pinellas’ vulnerability to disease outbreak is low to moderate depending
on the type of disease. The most vulnerable populations are the elderly and very young. Pinellas
County has one of the largest concentrations of people over the age of 55 in the state. They tend to
live in close proximity with each other in mobile home, deed restricted, and condominium
communities. However, the county is also becoming younger as more families with younger
children are moving into the area. The county is seeing more schools and daycare centers opening
each year.
Pinellas County has an excellent healthcare system, which must be factored into the risk analysis. It
has a very extensive disease surveillance system consisting of partners such as sentinel physicians,
all the hospitals, area county health departments, public and private laboratories, Department of
Agriculture and Consumer Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the World
Health Organization. This extensive early detection system reduces the population’s vulnerability
by allowing the healthcare community to react faster to a public health emergency.
4. Maximum Threat/ Extent: The maximum threat would be a virus which could start in another
part of the globe and be carried to the US through air travel. If that virus mutates to one transmitted
to humans through respiratory system, it could start a pandemic.
The Hazards Vulnerability Analysis Matrix
The Hazards Vulnerability Analysis Matrix below provides an overview of the probability, impact,
frequency and distribution of natural hazards within the County. The table following specifically
identifies each jurisdiction and its vulnerability to specific hazards. In Pinellas County, the primary
difference in vulnerability relates to coastal vs. inland flooding. The table below color-codes the
jurisdictions by location. Yellow indicates a barrier island community; blue denotes jurisdictions
on the mainland with significant coastal areas and more inland communities subject only to inland
flooding are coded green.

□ Barrier Island Communities are significantly more vulnerable to severe storms, coastal flooding, erosion, and tropical systems. No
sinkholes reported. Less risk of hazardous material transportation incidents with less freight traffic and no rail. Higher risk to open water
oil or hazardous material spills.
□ Jurisdictions with significant coastal areas are also vulnerable to coastal flooding, severe storms, erosion and tropical systems; however,
they are not as vulnerable to velocity wave action
□ All inland communities have some chance of flooding from rainfall and severe storms; and the entire county is vulnerable to high winds.
H = High – Likely to experience threat, effect, or reoccurrence of event with moderate to high (or catastrophic) impacts.
M = Moderate – Average to better than average likelihood of experiencing threat, effect or reoccurrence of event with minor to moderate
impacts.
L = Low – Below average likelihood of experiencing threat, effect or reoccurrence of event with minor to moderate impacts.
N = Very little or no likelihood threat will occur with minor impacts

SCENARIO INFORMATION FOR
HYPOTHETICAL RECURRENCE OF
THE HISTORIC TAMPA BAY
HURRICANE OF 1921
Introduction
On October 25, 1921, the Tampa Bay Hurricane of
1921 (also known as the Tarpon Springs Hurricane)
struck the Pinellas County coast. The Tampa Bay
Hurricane was the third hurricane, second major
hurricane, and final storm of an inactive 1921
Atlantic hurricane season. The storm took a typical path for an October Atlantic hurricane, forming
in the Caribbean, brushing past Cuba, strengthening in the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico before
making the turn northeast toward the west coast of Florida.
On the morning of the event, a small column on the front page of the Tampa Times was dedicated to
warning the public of the impending disaster. The final statement given by Meteorologist W. J.
Bennett at 11:30 on October 24, 1921 was that, “we are apparently in the apparent path of the
storm, but in the past in practically identical circumstances, similar storms have always veered
either to the north or the south of us, and probably this one will do likewise.”
It did not.
The devastating Category 3 hurricane made landfall at Tarpon Springs packing winds of 140 miles
an hour. As it moved inland on a northeast heading, its counter-clockwise winds pushed a 10- to
12-foot wall of water into Tampa Bay, flooding the coastal areas of Pinellas and Hillsborough
counties. Approximately 42 hours of rainfall preceded landfall, with rainfall totals over six inches
region-wide, including 8.53 inches at the Tampa weather bureau and 11.7 inches at St. Leo in Pasco
County. A total of ten people were killed in the hurricane overall but only three were recovered.
The hurricane destroyed the Passage Key fishing village in Manatee County known as the "Gateway
to historic Tampa Bay" and created the well-known Hurricane Pass (Pinellas County) and Longboat
Key Pass (Manatee and Sarasota counties). The hurricane’s storm surge damaged a fishing pier in
St. Petersburg and destroyed the casino in Gulfport. It leveled the historic Ballast Point Pavilion
along with several other buildings in the historic district of Tampa. Agriculture sustained
significant damage badly damaging what was then a thriving citrus crop in Pinellas County and
throughout the state's midsection. The hurricane was also the most destructive storm of the season,
causing around $10 million in damages at the time ($133 million in 2014 dollars).

DAMAGE SCENARIO DEVELOPMENT
Loss estimates for the Tampa Bay Hurricane of 1921 scenario in present-day conditions were
developed using HAZUS-MH 2.1. HAZUS-MH 2.1 is a standardized loss estimation methodology
developed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the National Institute of
Building Sciences (NIBS)1. The methodology is built upon an integrated GIS platform (see Figure 2)
to conduct analysis at an aggregate level.
HAZUS-MH 2.1 includes a number of historical events for the purpose of simulating the effects of
those storms on the present-day population and built environment. The Tampa Bay Hurricane of
1921 is included in the HAZUS MH 2.1 historical events database, and that data was used to model
the effects of the 1921 hurricane winds and to estimate losses caused by those winds in present-
day Pinellas County. The following pages include the output of the scenario model run from Hazus-
MH 2.1.
FIGURE 1. CONCEPTUAL MODEL OF HAZUS-MH METHODOLOGY
1 Loss estimates produced by software models such as HAZUS-MH 2.1 are to be used with a certain degree
of caution. Uncertainty within these types of results can be introduced from a number of sources, including
the use of national datasets to represent local conditions, simplifications within the model introduced to
allow the model to have flexibility with Level 1 users, and errors introduced as part of the mathematical
processing within the software code. As a planning tool however, the consistency and value of the results
developed by HAZUS-MH cannot be understated.

Totals only reflect data for those census tracts/blocks included in the user's study region.
The estimates of social and economic impacts contained in this report were produced using Hazus loss estimation methodology
software which is based on current scientific and engineering knowledge. There are uncertainties inherent in any loss estimation
technique. Therefore, there may be significant differences between the modeled results contained in this report and the actual social
and economic losses following a specific Hurricane. These results can be improved by using enhanced inventory data.

General Description of the Region
- Florida
Hazus is a regional multi-hazard loss estimation model that was developed by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency and the National Institute of Building Sciences. The primary purpose of Hazus is to provide a
methodology and software application to develop multi-hazard losses at a regional scale. These loss estimates
would be used primarily by local, state and regional officials to plan and stimulate efforts to reduce risks from
multi-hazards and to prepare for emergency response and recovery.
The hurricane loss estimates provided in this report are based on a region that includes 1 county(ies) from the
following state(s):
Note:
Appendix A contains a complete listing of the counties contained in the region.
The geographical size of the region is 293.22 square miles and contains 208 census tracts. There are over 414
thousand households in the region and has a total population of 921,482 people (2000 Census Bureau data). The
distribution of population by State and County is provided in Appendix B.
There are an estimated 425 thousand buildings in the region with a total building replacement value (excluding
contents) of 70,489 million dollars (2006 dollars). Approximately 91% of the buildings (and 75% of the building
value) are associated with residential housing.

Hazus estimates that there are 425,113 buildings in the region which have an aggregate total replacement value of
70,489 million (2006 dollars). Table 1 presents the relative distribution of the value with respect to the general
occupancies. Appendix B provides a general distribution of the building value by State and County.

Essential Facility Damage
Before the hurricane, the region had 4,325 hospital beds available for use. On the day of the hurricane, the model
estimates that 0 hospital beds (only 0.00%) are available for use. After one week, 31.00% of the beds will be in
service. By 30 days, 100.00% will be operational.

Induced Hurricane Damage
Debris Generation
Hazus estimates the amount of debris that will be generated by the hurricane. The model breaks the debris into
four general categories: a) Brick/Wood, b) Reinforced Concrete/Steel, c) Eligible Tree Debris, and d) Other Tree
Debris. This distinction is made because of the different types of material handling equipment required to handle
the debris.
The model estimates that a total of 608,652 tons of debris will be generated. Of the total amount, 68,282 tons
(11%) is Other Tree Debris. Of the remaining 540,370 tons, Brick/Wood comprises 67% of the total, Reinforced
Concrete/Steel comprises of 1% of the total, with the remainder being Eligible Tree Debris. If the building debris
tonnage is converted to an estimated number of truckloads, it will require 14652 truckloads (@25 tons/truck) to
remove the building debris generated by the hurricane. The number of Eligible Tree Debris truckloads will depend
on how the 174,080 tons of Eligible Tree Debris are collected and processed. The volume of tree debris generally
ranges from about 4 cubic yards per ton for chipped or compacted tree debris to about 10 cubic yards per ton for
bulkier, uncompacted debris.
Social Impact
Shelter Requirement
Hazus estimates the number of households that are expected to be displaced from their homes due to the
hurricane and the number of displaced people that will require accommodations in temporary public shelters. The
model estimates 5,919 households to be displaced due to the hurricane. Of these, 1,552 people (out of a total
population of 921,482) will seek temporary shelter in public shelters.
Page 8 of 11Hurricane Event Summary Report
Economic Loss
The total economic loss estimated for the hurricane is 2425.5 million dollars, which represents 3.44 % of the total
replacement value of the region’s buildings.
Building-Related Losses
The building related losses are broken into two categories: direct property damage losses and business interruption
losses. The direct property damage losses are the estimated costs to repair or replace the damage caused to the
building and its contents. The business interruption losses are the losses associated with inability to operate a
business because of the damage sustained during the hurricane. Business interruption losses also include the
temporary living expenses for those people displaced from their homes because of the hurricane.
The total property damage losses were 2,425 million dollars. 2% of the estimated losses were related to the
business interruption of the region. By far, the largest loss was sustained by the residential occupancies which
made up over 82% of the total loss. Table 4 below provides a summary of the losses associated with the building
damage.

SCENARIO INFORMATION FOR
CATASTROPHIC PLAN
DEVELOPMENT
INTRODUCTION
The Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council, along
with our partners from government, business, and
social services communities, is developing a plan to
identify and address the multitude of issues that
would arise should a catastrophic event occur in
the Tampa Bay area. For this plan, the Tampa Bay area is defined as the following counties:
Citrus
Hardee
Hernando
Hillsborough
Manatee
Pasco
Pinellas Polk Sumter
Hurricane Phoenix is a fictitious storm created to simulate the effects of a worst-case scenario.
With input from Tampa Bay area emergency management agencies and the local office of the
National Weather Service (NWS), a simulated storm was developed with a track and intensity that
would devastate the entire Tampa Bay region. The NWS generated National Hurricane Center
advisories, local hurricane statements, and data files that simulate the hurricane’s location and
intensity from its formation in the Caribbean Sea, through landfall in Pinellas County, to the
hurricane’s exit from the east coast of Florida into the Atlantic Ocean. The maps and information
presented in this packet are based upon the data files developed for this simulated storm.
The simulated parameters of Hurricane Phoenix were input into
HAZUS-MH, the risk assessment tool that uses the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) standard methodology to
measure the effects of real and simulated hazard events like
hurricane winds and flooding. As one might expect, a storm of the
size and strength of Hurricane Phoenix would create almost
unthinkable damage to the area’s homes, businesses, infrastructure,
overall economy, and social systems that are currently in place. The
goal of this planning process is to develop strategies that will help
the Tampa Bay region to recover and rebuild after such a devastating
catastrophe.
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Attachment 1-5 Page 1-5-2
SCENARIO TIMELINE FOR HURRICANE PHOENIX
October 7 – A tropical depression forms west of the Lesser Antilles, moving generally westward.
October 9 – The depression reaches tropical storm strength…named Tropical Storm Phoenix.
October 10 – Phoenix reaches hurricane intensity south of Jamaica…forecast to strengthen
slightly as it moves generally west and west-northwest into the Yucatan Straits. The
storm is forecast to be over open water in the central Gulf of Mexico in 5 days. The
entire eastern Gulf coast from New Orleans to the Florida Keys is on the edge of the
5-day error cone (Forecast Map 1). Forecasters, as well as the public, have a wait-
and-see attitude for a “minor” hurricane that hasn’t yet set its sights on particular
location for landfall in the U.S.
October 12 – The Tampa Bay region’s hurricane preparation kicks into high gear as the forecast
track turns more to the east with each National Hurricane Center (NHC)
forecast/advisory.
October 13 – Hurricane Phoenix approaches the Yucatan Straits as a Category 2 storm. A
Hurricane Watch is posted for a large stretch of the west central coast of Florida
with the 11 am NHC advisory. The forecast track shows a recurving of the storm
back to the north-northeast after it enters the Gulf of Mexico (Forecast Map 2).
Phoenix is forecast to be Cat 5 storm approaching the west coast of Florida in two
days. Tampa Bay is now at the center of the bull’s-eye for the hurricane’s forecast
landfall.
October 14 – A Hurricane Warning replaces the Watch, starting with the 5 am NHC advisory.
Phoenix has brushed the western tip of Cuba, and is moving north-northeast into
the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico (Forecast Map 3). Sustained winds have
reached 120 mph. Wind and waves gradually increase as the day progresses.
Tropical-storm force winds reach coastal sections of Manatee and Pinellas Counties
just before midnight, and spread inland through the wee hours of the morning of the
15th.
October 15 - Morning:
At daybreak, Phoenix is a strong Category 4 hurricane with 150 mph sustained
winds. The center of the storm is just over 100 miles southwest of Saint Pete Beach,
moving toward the Tampa Bay area. Hurricane-force winds reach the coast around
8 am. Seas start the day a foot or two above the normal tide level, but rise 5-10 feet
by mid-morning.
October 15 - Midday:
Phoenix continues to intensify through the morning. By 11 am, sustained winds
reach 160 mph as the wall of the 45-mile wide eye enters the mouth of Tampa Bay
(Forecast Map 4). The center of the eye makes landfall at Indian Rocks Beach just
before noon.
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Attachment 1-5 Page 1-5-3
Afternoon:
Storm surge of 11-16 feet above normal tide levels has completely overtopped
barrier islands from Longboat Key to Clearwater Beach. The storm continues to
push a massive volume of water into Tampa Bay, and by early afternoon surge levels
climb to at least 20 feet above normal at St. Petersburg, 23 feet at Oldsmar, 24 feet at
Apollo Beach, and 26 feet above the normal tide level near Downtown Tampa.
Storm surge pushes water from the bay up the Hillsborough, Alafia, Lower Manatee,
Braden, and Manatee Rivers and the Tampa Bypass Canal, flooding areas well
inland.
All three bridges that traverse Tampa Bay and the Courtney Campbell Causeway
sustain either structural damage or have their approaches washed away by water
and waves. For a time on the afternoon of the 15th, the parts of central St.
Petersburg and mid-Pinellas County that are not inundated by storm surge become
two islands, each surrounded by water on all sides.
The intense winds of Phoenix damage or destroy numerous buildings that are not
inundated by storm surge flooding. Homes and businesses are flattened along a
wide swath many miles inland following the hurricane’s path. Structural damage is
caused by wind alone, windborne debris, or trees that fall onto building roofs. Most
windows are blown out of high-rise structures.
Evening:
The hurricane holds a steady course to the northeast as it decimates the entire
Tampa Bay area. The storm weakens slowly after landfall. By 5 pm, the center of
Phoenix is located in eastern Hernando County. Sustained winds are still 130 mph.
Hurricane-force winds continue in Tampa until around 7 pm. That’s around 10
straight hours of sustained winds greater than 74 mph.
Phoenix accelerates to the northeast during the evening, exiting the east coast of
Florida around midnight at St. Augustine. The storm has maintained hurricane
strength throughout its track across the entire width of the Florida peninsula.
Sustained winds are 105 mph as Phoenix enters the Atlantic.
October 16 – Search-and-rescue operation begin as soon as winds abate, with massive amounts of
debris and roadway damage making ground-based travel nearly impossible and
severely hampering attempts at recovery. Casualties are numerous. Survivors that
are uninjured are dazed, some in shock at the amount of devastation that has
occurred.
Oct. 17-18 – Search-and-rescue operations continue. Some outside help/resources begins to
trickle into the region, but damage to the transportation infrastructure, and the fact
that the storm cut a swatch across the entire state, slow the influx of recovery
personnel and supplies into the area. Most hospitals have sustained damage, and
are overwhelmed by number of injured. Essential services are mostly non-existent.
Civil unrest is possible as human needs (water, food, shelter) are scarce, local law
enforcement resources have been damaged/destroyed, and outside resources are
stymied by massive amounts of storm debris and damage to transportation
infrastructure.
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Attachment 1-5 Page 1-5-4
Oct. 19-31 – Search-and-rescue operations are completed. Post-storm evacuation to host
communities begins for survivors whose homes or neighborhoods were destroyed.
Recovery personnel and supplies flow into the region more rapidly as temporary
repairs to transportation infrastructure are performed. Where possible, emergency
repairs are made to structures to make them suitable for habitation. Post-disaster
damage assessment begins.
Going forward – Infrastructure needs are prioritized and repairs are made. Repair and
reconstruction of homes and businesses move forward. The region’s economy,
which has taken a tremendous blow immediately after the storm, begins to grow as
post-disaster construction and other recovery industries begin to flourish.
Demographics of the region possibly change as some of displaced population does
not return, and others are drawn to the area by construction and other recovery
jobs.

DAMAGE SCENARIO DEVELOPMENT
The Catastrophic Scenario was developed by combining some of the more prevalent models for
hurricanes. HAZUS-MH is a standardized loss estimation methodology developed by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS)1.
The methodology is built upon an integrated GIS platform (see Figure 2) to conduct analysis at an
aggregate level (i.e., not on a structure-by-structure basis). The HAZUS-MH risk assessment
methodology is parametric, in that distinct hazard and inventory parameters (e.g., flood depths and
building types) were modeled using the HAZUS-MH software to determine the impact of the coastal
flood and severe winds on the built environment.2
In order to leverage recently collected topographic data and impacts from a single event, a custom
SLOSH (Sea, Lake, and Overland Surge from Hurricanes) model run was created. The results of this
model were imported as an input to HAZUS®MH MR4 Flood (Coastal) Module. HAZUS®MH MR4
(released August 2009) was used to model the coastal flood hazard at the county level based on the
hypothetical storm scenario. 3
SLOSH (Sea, Lake and Overland Surges from Hurricanes) is a computerized model run by the
National Hurricane Center (NHC) to estimate storm surge heights and winds resulting from
historical, hypothetical, or predicted hurricanes by taking into account pressure, size, forward
speed, track, and winds. Graphical output from the model displays color coded storm surge heights
(See Figure 3) for a particular area in feet above the model's reference level, the National Geodetic
Vertical Datum (NGVD), which is the elevation reference for most maps.
The calculations are applied to a specific locale's shoreline, incorporating the unique bay and river
configurations, water depths, bridges, roads and other physical features. If the model is being used
to estimate storm surge from a predicted hurricane (as opposed to a hypothetical one), forecast
data must be put in the model every 6 hours over a 72-hour period and updated as new forecasts
become available.
1 Loss estimates produced by software models such as HAZUS-MH are to be used with a certain degree of
caution. Uncertainty within these types of results can be introduced from a number of sources, including
the use of national datasets to represent local conditions, simplifications within the model introduced to
allow the model to have flexibility with Level 1 users, and errors introduced as part of the mathematical
processing within the software code. As a planning tool however, the consistency and value of the results
developed by HAZUS-MH cannot be understated.
2 These products represent a hypothetical scenario intended to encourage discussion for the Tampa Bay
Catastrophic Planning Project. Consequence projections are derived from the scenario using scientific
methods based on research. They will continue to be updated and refined as new information from the
Catastrophic Planning effort becomes available and specific planning needs are defined.
3 This study represents a Level 2 HAZUS analysis in that it utilizes user-supplied flood depth grids. The
effective date of the user-supplied SLOSH data is September 2009.

While the HAZUS-MH flood model is generally based on depth damage functions, the hurricane
wind model within HAZUS is based on a hazard-load-resistance-loss methodology. Per the HAZUS-
MH MR4 Technical Manual for the Multi-hazard Loss Estimation Methodology for the Hurricane
Model, “the approach is based on a hazard-load-resistance-damage-loss methodology developed
from an individual risk framework. The basic model components (hazard model, load model,
resistance models, etc.) are developed separately. Each model component is, wherever possible,
separately validated using full scale data, model scale data, or experimental data. A major factor
driving the use of a first principles-based hazard-load-resistance-loss model, rather than the simple
wind speed dependent loss models traditionally used, is the ability for the approach to be extended
to model the effects of code changes and mitigation strategies on reduction in damage and loss.
Furthermore, since economic damage (loss) is modeled separately from physical damage to a
building, estimates of both building damage and loss are separately modeled and predicted”.
HAZUS-MH MR4 uses Census 2000 for demographic data; Census 2000 and Dun & Bradstreet 2006
for general building stock inventory; 2006 RS Means for building valuation; and 2006 Dun and
Bradstreet for commercial data. Other details and supporting documentation regarding the sources
and treatment of the default datasets used in this analysis are available in the HAZUS-MH MR4
Technical Manuals for the Multi-hazard Loss Estimation Methodology for the Flood Model and for the
Hurricane Model available on www.fema.gov.

CONSEQUENCES ANALYSIS
The goal of this scenario was to estimate the direct physical damages, social impacts, and direct
economic losses that could result from the storm surge and wind of this catastrophic hurricane
using recently developed user-supplied SLOSH data. For the purposes of this study, direct physical
damages consist of estimated impacts to the county’s general building stock (i.e., residential,
commercial, industrial, and agricultural buildings), essential facilities (i.e., schools, fire stations,
police stations, medical care facilities, and emergency operations centers as applicable), and
agricultural products. Social impacts consist of estimated shelter requirements (in terms of
households and individual persons displaced by the event). Economic losses consist of direct
economic impacts (not indirect losses).
Figure 1-5- 7: Regional Map with Path of Storm
The hazard impacts depicted in this report intend to show regional estimates of consequences from
surge and wind as generated from the HAZUS-MH Model. It is important to note that uncertainties
are inherent in any loss estimation methodology, arising in part from incomplete scientific
knowledge concerning natural hazards and their effects on the built environment. Uncertainties
also result from approximations and simplifications that are necessary for a comprehensive
analysis (such as abbreviated inventories, demographics, or economic parameters).
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Attachment 1-5 Page 1-5-14
Figure 4 provides a graphical representation of the multi-county study region created and
maximum flood depths created from the modeled catastrophic event. The multi-county region was
composed of Citrus, Hardee, Hernando, Hillsborough, Manatee, Pasco, Pinellas, Polk, and Sumter
counties. The counties of Hardee, Polk, and Sumter did not have storm surge analyses performed
for them and thus their HAZUS’ estimates of impacts are strictly from the wind model. Although
modeling of inland flooding was not a part of this project, traditional areas of flooding such as
lowlands, and FEMA 100- and 500-year flood hazard areas should also be considered when
planning for catastrophic events.
As mentioned earlier in this report, the HAZUS wind model was also run to estimate regional
impacts from the modeled event. The storm path and expected wind gusts are depicted in Figure 5
and is intended to mimic Hurricane Katrina’s intensity prior to landfall when the storm was still
identified as a Category 5. The radius to maximum winds was made to vary between 25 and 40
miles in order to create ideal conditions for the modeled storm to push maximum water into Tampa
Bay. The minimum central pressure was set to 918 mBars. The estimated impacts to the
population and built environment are provided throughout the rest of this document.

The analysis conducted to determine direct physical
damages to the general building stock was performed at
the census tract level (outputs aggregated to the county
level) and focuses on residential, commercial, industrial,
and agricultural building occupancy types as defined by
HAZUS-MH. Table 1 shows damage probabilities for these
selected occupancy types for the modeled, coastal event.

DAMAGE TO ESSENTIAL FACILITIES
The analysis conducted for essential facilities focuses on schools, fire
stations, police stations, medical care facilities, and emergency operations
centers (EOCs), as identified by HAZUS-MH default inventories. It is
important to note that default essential facilities data in the current version
of HAZUS-MH may not be complete and represents best readily available
data for use with this scenario.
Tables 4 and 5 show expected damage from wind to essential facilities in
terms of the capacity. For each essential facility type (with the exception of
hospitals which HAZUS calculates bed availability in days after the event),
HAZUS will estimate the percentage of facilities functional.
Figure 8 provides an illustration of expected recovery for the hospital/medical sector in terms of
loss of use (days).

Attachment 1-5 Page 1-5-24
CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE
Transportation Facilities
Interstate 75 (I-75), Interstate 275 (I-275), and Interstate 4 (I-4)
are expected to be the primary routes used to transport goods and
people into and out of the affected zone during a response and
recovery effort within the nine-county West Central Florida area.
Interstates and major highways generally have a wide right-of-way
and trees about 50–100 feet away from the shoulders, so most of
the debris on these roads would consist of poles, signs, and small vegetative debris.
According to Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) engineers, non-
interstate/turnpike evacuation routes in the nine-county area are generally at-grade with
the surrounding ground. As such, routes shown on maps depicting flooding due to storm
surge can generally be assumed to be flooded if the adjacent land is inundated.
Interstates are the Florida Department of Transportation’s top priority for debris clearance;
FDOT plans to reopen major roads within 8–24 hours after the hurricane has passed,
provided all bridges are operating at full or near capacity.
Significant impacts on the region’s bridges - especially the approaches - are expected on all
causeways including the Courtney Campbell Causeway, Howard Frankland Bridge, Gandy
Bridge and the Skyway Bridge.
Bridges and roads subject to additional flooding due to the storm will have to be inspected
before reopening. This is of particular concern on the three causeways connecting
Hillsborough and Pinellas County, the bridges connecting the barrier island communities as
well as those connecting downtown with Harbor Island, Davis Island and the 22nd St. Bridge
providing access to the Port of Tampa. Bridges over the Manatee River in Manatee and the
Pithlachascotee River in Pasco will also require engineering survey.
FDOT could impose a vehicle weight restriction or use a temporary bridge if the bridges are
damaged. FDOT typically has 10,000 linear feet of such bridges available in non-emergency
times.
Other Transportation Notes
Runaway barges and other large debris could be a threat to bridges during the storm,
particularly those spanning the Intracoastal Waterway. Two moveable bridges over the
Intracoastal Waterway were damaged in this way during Hurricane Wilma. As a result,
these bridges had to be closed to motor-vehicle traffic.
Train services in Tampa Bay, East Central Florida and Northeast Florida may not be
available because of debris on the railways.
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Attachment 1-5 Page 1-5-25
The Florida Department of Transportation’s goal is to open (with at least one lane available
for emergency vehicles) all State roads to traffic one day after the hurricane has passed.
Hurricane Phoenix will destroy traffic control devices (lights, signs), resulting in dangerous
uncontrolled intersections post-landfall.
Many of the buses and other public transit vehicles left in the storm’s path will be destroyed
and unavailable post-landfall.
Ports
Florida’s sea- and airports are essential resources for providing goods and services to residents and
critical economic engines that generate millions of dollars and thousands of jobs for local
communities. The state contains two of the top twenty importing and four of the top twenty
exporting seaports in the United States, and Tampa International Airport is one of the busiest in the
world. As a result, ports will likely be vital to response and recovery efforts following a catastrophic
hurricane in Tampa Bay.
Airports: Profiles
The Tampa International Airport serves 21 passenger air carriers and nine cargo-only airlines. It
manages over 18 million passengers per year and 108,000 tons of cargo, including 12,000 tons of
mail per year. The estimated replacement cost of the airport’s land and facilities is $2.3 billion.41
The St. Petersburg-Clearwater International Airport is located 10 miles east of Tampa International
and serves as a charter destination for several air carriers, including a few from Canada. The airport
provides over 3,000 jobs and contributes an economic benefit of $400 million annually to the
Tampa Bay area.

Attachment 1-5 Page 1-5-26
The Port of Tampa is the largest of the Florida ports, as measured by tonnage, and handles
approximately 50 million tons of cargo per year. The Tampa Bay region is the largest metropolitan
market in Florida, and it is the 10th largest consumer market in the U.S., with nearly 7 million
people within 100 miles of the port. The port contributes to the creation of 96,000 jobs in the
region and generates a regional annual economic impact of nearly $8 billion. Tampa is also the
closest full service U.S. port to the Panama Canal.
Port Manatee is among Florida’s largest deepwater seaports. The port oversees over 9.3 million
tons of shipping, and is Fresh Del Monte Produce’s second largest U.S. port facility, used for
importing Central American fruit and exporting fruit from Florida. It is also the Southeast’s leading
forestry product import facility.

Note: Ports Preparation
As with airplanes and airports, many ships leave seaports prior to the arrival of a hurricane. The
Port of Tampa, for example, mandates that any ship larger than 500 gross tons be out of port by
twenty-four hours prior to the onset of hurricane-force winds (confirm). All potential flying debris
or sources of contamination should be removed from dockside areas. The Coast Guard is
responsible for establishing “Safety Zones” around the port to prevent ships entering unsafe
conditions as well as to prevent unlawful salvage or looting following the storm.
Electricity Infrastructure
Generation Capacity
The local power plants in the nine-county areas are located along the coast in areas vulnerable to
storm surge. All facilities would have been impacted by the sustained 160-180 mph winds.
Therefore; it is assumed all local generation operations would be suspended until the damage is
assessed and repairs could be made. Once the distribution systems start coming back online, most
generation would be purchased from outside of the affected region.
Residential Impacts
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Attachment 1-5 Page 1-5-27
Weatherheads, which connect homes to the electrical lines, are often damaged and need to
be repaired by an electrician.
Approximately 5,000 weatherheads were damaged following Hurricane Wilma. This figure
could easily exceed 50,000 for a storm like Phoenix. Electricians would be required from outside of the state to handle the demand after this
type of emergency.
Electrical repairs normally need county inspection before reconnection, but this
requirement is sometimes waived.
Transmission Infrastructure
Distribution facility damage throughout the nine counties would be extensive.

Customers are approximately 88% residential, 11% commercial, and 1% industrial.
Effect on Casualties:
o Electrocution by downed power lines
o Asphyxiation due to improper use of portable generators
Recovery Time
Recovery time will be affected by the amount of outside assistance that Florida Power &
Light can get from other utilities. Tampa Electric & Florida Progress will also likely be
seeking assistance. Utilities along the Gulf Coast may need assistance (or be hesitant to give
up their own crews) due to damage there as well.
Order of Repairs:
1. Feeder circuits serving critical infrastructure facilities (hospitals, 911 centers,
Police/fire stations) would be restored first.
2. Remaining feeder circuits would then be restored.
3. Neighborhood restoration would then take place, ultimately resulting in individual
service wires to each impacted home being repaired.
Note: In Hurricanes Charley, Frances, Jeanne, and Katrina, approximately 75–80% of South Florida
customers were restored by Day 3, with all South Florida customers receiving full power within 8–
13 days. For Wilma, approximately 40% were restored by Day 3, and approximately 60% by Day 5.
All power was restored within 18 days. However, recovery time for Phoenix would likely be much
longer than in these storms, lasting for weeks or months. Repairs to infrastructure or homes in
inundated areas could not occur until the floodwaters have subsided.
Nuclear Power Plant Recovery
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) policy states that any nuclear power plant that will be
affected by hurricane force winds must be shut down. Restart requires NRC permission that
involves the following: Inspecting the power plant for damage Inspecting local infrastructure for its capability to support nuclear power output Inspecting the surrounding 10-mile radius for alert and evacuation capabilities
Note: Hurricane Andrew hit Turkey Point in 1992. The onsite damage included loss of all offsite
power for more than five days, complete loss of communication systems, closing of the access road,
and damage to the fire protection and security systems and warehouse facilities. However, onsite
damage was limited to fire protection, security, and several non-safety-related systems and
structures. There was no damage to the safety-related systems and no radioactive release to the
environment. The units remained in stable condition and functioned as designed.
Effects of Damage on Utility Employees
Florida Power & Light, TECO Energy, and Progress Energy have measures in place to minimize the
effect that damage to employees’ homes will have on the recovery process. “Ramp up” of the repair
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Attachment 1-5 Page 1-5-29
process may be a little slower due to evacuation of some employees. Experiences with damage from
recent storms, like Wilma, may make this effect stronger than it has been in the past.
Telecommunications
Landline Telephone Service
Loss of landline telephone service and jammed circuits will reduce the ability of residents to call for
help or information.
Cell Phone Infrastructure
Power outage will cause isolation and degradation.
o Cell phone sites that operate on battery backup will lose power in about eight hours.
o Sites with generator power will have power for several days as long as they are not
flooded.
The cell phone structure will be barely operational because of wind damage to microwave
units and some flooding damage. Microwave units may be ripped off or be out of alignment.
The cell phone system may be isolated from the cell phone infrastructure outside of the
hurricane impact area.
Individual geographical sections of the system will be isolated from each other so that
customers will only be able to reach other customers within the same area.
Floodwaters can damage circuits and replacements, and drown generator units.
Repairs cannot be made in areas where water remains. The areas where water recedes will
be eligible for immediate repairs and replacements.
Because landline phone service will be limited, remnants of the cell phone system will be
overloaded.
Television
Most broadcast stations have at least one generator. For the most part, these stations have
been able to continue broadcasting without interruption during past hurricanes.
In three recent cases, stations switched to 24-hour weather coverage and did not broadcast
with closed captioning, which is against FCC regulations.
Most stations feel that a Category 5 strike could damage their antennae, and few or none
have backup or portable antennae.
Power loss would interrupt broadcasts of cable television and limit the ability of viewers to
operate their televisions.
Water and Waste Water Systems
Approximately 30% of water treatment facilities are located in the storm surge zone.
Storm surge will inundate extant water systems, including wells and water mains, causing
breakage and contamination. Loss of electricity will prevent water and sewage pumping in
much of the Tampa Bay Area.
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Attachment 1-5 Page 1-5-30
All water for human and pet use will require boiling. Public health authorities will have to
coordinate public notification of boil water notices. Considerable gastrointestinal illness
may be observed if contaminated water is consumed.
Potable water production and distribution may be affected by the dike break, but also by
commercial power outages, if generator power does not exist or is insufficient.
SOCIAL IMPACTS
Displaced Households
The analysis conducted to determine shelter requirements
estimates that 840,000 households will be displaced due to the
modeled storm. (Displacement includes households evacuated
from within or very near to the impacted area and may not be a
direct reflection of residential building damage within a particular census block.) Assuming a
regional average of 2.32 persons per household, more than 58% of the individual persons within
the region would be impacted (out of a total population of 3.3 million people). Approximately
220,000 of those would seek temporary shelter in public shelter facilities (see Table 9).

5 The term, “Displaced household” refers to a dwelling that has been damaged to the extent that it becomes
uninhabitable. This is not a permanent displacement, but one that would take weeks/months to rebuild the
house back to habitability. The reason for the calculation is the type of shelter needed (i.e. short term, long
term) and number of spaces needed at the shelter. Evacuated populations refers to those people leaving
during the hurricane/flood/earthquake event, but able to return to their homes afterwards.
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Attachment 1-5 Page 1-5-31
Animal Issues
Between 60–70% of U.S. households have pets. The majority of
pet owners consider their pets to be family members, feeling
the same sense of responsibility for their safety as they do any
other family member.
Survey results from 2004 storms showed that 50–60% of residents in the affected area had
pets and 30–40% said pets affected their evacuation decision.
The Pet Evacuation Transportation Standards Act of 2006 requires that State and local
governments include household pets in emergency evacuation plans. The act authorizes the
use of funds to “procure, construct, or renovate emergency shelter facilities and materials
that will temporarily accommodate people with pets and service animals,” as well as
provide “rescue, care, shelter, and essential needs...to such pets and animals.”

MEDICAL ISSUES
Casualties 6
The number of casualties was estimated based on the following
assumptions:
Non-evacuation of certain portions of the population-at-risk in
storm surge vulnerable evacuation zones and mobile homes. Based
on the 2006 behavioral surveys, up to 30% of the vulnerable
population would not evacuate even with the threat of a
catastrophic hurricane.
Approximately 10% of the population on the barrier islands has
indicated that they feel safe in a major storm. Post-storm deaths
o Common hurricane-related causes of death include:
drowning, electrocution, crushing, head trauma, and natural causes exacerbated by
the storm (storm stress-induced heart attack).
o Improper use of portable generators has led to excess morbidity and mortality
following hurricanes. During the period of power outages related to the four major
Florida hurricanes in 2004, 167 persons were treated for accidental carbon
monoxide poisoning as a result of improper use of portable generators. Six deaths
were reported.
Approximately 1,957,000 people will be affected by this catastrophic storm scenario. Of
these residents, approximately 1,957 (.001) could loose their lives as a direct result of the
storm (primarily due to non-evacuation of storm surge vulnerable areas and mobile
homes). An additional 200 additional people (.0001) could loose their lives following the
storm.
6 Note: The number of directly attributable hurricane deaths from major hurricanes in the United
States since 1989 ranges from a low of 5 for Hurricane Jeanne (2004, Category 3 at landfall in Florida) to a
high of 1,817 for Hurricane Katrina (2005, Category 1 at landfall in Florida, Category 3 at landfall in
Louisiana). The mean number of fatalities occurring in major storms since 1989 is 194.9; however, without
Hurricane Katrina included, the mean number of deaths drops to 37.1.

Injuries
Injuries and illnesses observed in previous Florida hurricane events include blunt trauma,
lacerations, muscle strains and pulls, insect and animal bites, puncture wounds, burns,
infections, gastrointestinal illnesses, sunburns, exposure, psychosocial distress, and carbon
monoxide exposure.
Additional Medical Topics
Environmental Health
Storm surge can inundate extant water systems, including wells and water mains, causing
breakage and contamination. Loss of electricity will prevent water and sewage pumping in
much of Tampa Bay. All water for human and pet use will require boiling. Public health
authorities will have to coordinate public notification of boil water notices. Excess
gastrointestinal illnesses may be observed if contaminated water is consumed.
While stressful and disturbing, the presence of corpses in floodwaters or in storm debris
does not create a risk of infectious disease epidemics in flood- or storm-affected areas.
However, according to the World Health Organization, should dead bodies enter the water
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Attachment 1-5 Page 1-5-35
supply there is a small risk of contamination that could lead to gastrointestinal infections.
Health officials must work with the media to educate the public on these issues.
Medical Records
Loss of medical records resulting in patient treatment challenges is likely as a result of
hurricane events.
Prescription Drugs
Although access to traditional prescription drug outlets will be disrupted, access to
prescription drugs will be provided by emergency response teams, mobile medical
units, and private/voluntary organizations such as AmeriCares and others that focus on
distributing prescription drugs and medical equipment following disasters.
Drugs may have been lost in the event or left behind while evacuating. People will have
difficulty refilling prescriptions and collecting the cost of replacing them from their
insurance companies.
Special needs patients on multiple medications may have difficulty recalling specific
medications and doses. Lack of accessible medical records will make it difficult to look
up medication information for patients. Medical intervention will be required to
determine patients’ prescription needs.
Mental Health
Following all hurricane events, members of the affected population will experience
some level of distress. While most people return to normal levels of psychological
functioning, some will exhibit symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, depression,
or other illnesses. Psychosocial support will be one of the most lasting needs.
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
To facilitate patient treatment, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
elements will be suspended or modified as provided for within the act’s policy. There
may be confusion about what elements of the act must be maintained in an emergency.
Medical Licensing
Planned and spontaneous medical volunteers, including doctors and nurses, will require
reciprocal licensing. This will be an urgent need.

DIRECT ECONOMIC LOSSES
The analysis conducted to estimate direct economic losses
includes (for the purposes of this study) direct damage to the
building (contents and inventory losses are not factored into
the analysis) for the residential, commercial, industrial, and
agricultural occupancy types (see Table 12).

Regional economic losses from damages to the Port of Tampa and Port Manatee are not
directly factored in, but can be assumed to have major impacts with delays of commodities
and supplies that will only aggravate an already tense economic and physical environment.
Short- and long-term impacts to the environment (and indirectly tourism) are not factored
in to the physical model but may be exercised during the catastrophic planning event.
SUMMARY
With close to $250 billion in expected economic losses (physical structure damage and loss of use
for commercial entities), the modeled storm will create unprecedented challenges for the Tampa
Bay Area. This catastrophic scenario will force the emergency managers, first responders, and
other professionals from all levels of government, the private sector and the faith-based and
volunteer agencies as well as our citizens to consider many recovery and post-disaster options that
might not have been feasible before but may be a necessity to respond to this event. Short-term
housing, public safety, insurance mechanisms, financial mechanisms for logistics and responders
(among other items) will need to be addressed in order to help the communities recover.

Public Meetings
The LMS Workgroup members are actively seeking additional participation through their professional
networks. Interested citizens are also invited to the Local Mitigation Strategy Workgroup meeting, as
the meetings are open to the public. The meeting calendar is provided in the table below and reflects
the workgroup planning process throughout the development and the revision(s) of the LMS. Meeting
agendas, attendance and minutes for 2014-2015 are provided in Attachment 2-2.
The agency representatives’ acceptance of the invitation and agreement to become workgroup
members initiated their obligation to the effort. The representatives pledged their time and available
resources to develop a mitigation strategy that would protect life, property, and the environment as
well as contribute to the economic well-being of the county. The implication of the Hazard Mitigation
Planning and Hazard Mitigation Grant Program Interim Final Rule is that each of the jurisdictions
represented on the workgroup must show participation in the planning process to qualify for HMGP,
Pre-Disaster Mitigation Program (PDM) and Flood Mitigation Assistance Program (FMA) funding.
The definition of participation as determined by the workgroup is the attendance by an agency
representative to at least 50% of the meetings during the year. Each agency representative must sign
in at each meeting. This data is used to document participation and is provided along with meeting
notices, agendas, and minutes on the Pinellas County LMS Website (www.pinellaslms.org ).
When the plan is updated, workgroup members volunteer for various subcommittees who are
assembled to revise various appendixes, attachments, or the basic plan itself. The subcommittees
meet on their own schedule and submit their drafts to the entire workgroup at a regular LMS meeting
for discussion and adoption. Typically, the draft is distributed in advance of the meeting for review by
workgroup members.

Appendix 3 Page 3- 1
APPENDIX 3: MITIGATION STRATEGY CONFLICT RESOLUTION
At every point of the LMS process, the workgroup will be
advised of the status and consulted on future actions. All
Workgroup members are welcomed to participate in all
meetings to help reach a consensus. Every effort will be
made to reach a compromise before proceeding to the
next step. Progression to the next step will only occur, if
the workgroup deems it appropriate and necessary.
Non-Contractual Issues
If any non-contractual issue is opposed by 50% or
more of the voting workgroup, the item will be
deferred and recorded for future planning and
evaluation purposes.
For any issue that is opposed by less than 50% of the voting workgroup, resolution will be
attempted utilizing the below steps:
• A separate meeting/conference call will be scheduled with those opposed to the issue. The
meeting will focus on identifying the root cause(s) of the opposition and determine if a
compromise is possible.
• If the first meeting/conference call is unsuccessful, a second attempt will be scheduled.
This meeting will include representatives from county administration and the managers from the
municipalities involved. The meeting will focus on confirming whether or not compromise is
possible.
• If a resolution appears possible, but further discussion is needed, a third meeting may be
scheduled between a representative of the BCC and the mayors of the municipalities
opposed.
• The last attempt at resolution will be a meeting with the entire BCC and the
councils/commissions involved. This step will only be utilized when a very small minority of
the workgroup remains opposed to an issue and more than 75% of the voting workgroup
recommends taking it to this level.
Opposition to issues from non-governmental entities will be handled in a similar manner.
Contractual Issues
If any contractual issue is opposed by any member of the workgroup, they will be provided a copy
of the contract requirement.
If 50% of the voting workgroup requests interpretation of the contract language or intent, the
State Contract Coordinator will be contacted to provide clarification.
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Appendix 3 Page 3- 2
The full workgroup will be provided the clarification. If 50% of the voting workgroup
recommends additional attempts be made, the State Director of Emergency Management will be
contacted.
Relief from contractual issues can only be approved by the State Division of Emergency
Management.

APPENDIX 4: LOCAL MITIGATION STRATEGY GOALS AND
OBJECTIVES
Overview
Based on the hazards and vulnerability analyses, the next step in the LMS
planning process was the development of definitive, realistic goals and
objectives.
With the update of the 2015 Local Mitigation Strategy, the Workgroup found the existing goals and objectives provided a clear strategy on where to expend additional funds; as well as addressed mitigation as a comprehensive, multi-jurisdictional program. While the jurisdictions want to be “ready” if mitigation funds are available, it is clear that the shared goal of resiliency requires a local commitment even in difficult economic times.
In addition to non-structural approaches (growth management) to mitigation, public education
campaigns as well as the hardening of critical facilities and shelters; the concepts of community
resiliency and intergovernmental and inter-agency coordination remain critical to the LMS.
The Workgroup focused on the hazard-specific goals to maintain the “all-hazards” approach.
Additionally, objectives were reviewed and modified to achieve these goals.
The seven goals adopted for the LMS Plan are:
1. Become a More Disaster Resilient Community.
2. Minimize Coastal Flooding Losses in the CHHA, Coastal Storm Area and Hurricane
Vulnerability Zone.
3. Minimize Riverine or Inland Flooding Losses in the 25, 50, and 100-year Flood Zone.
4. Minimize Storm Wind Losses in the County.
5. Minimize Wildfire Losses in the Wildland Urban Interface Areas.
6. Minimize Losses from Hazardous Material Incidents.
7. Minimize Losses from Security Attacks.
Specific Measures
Mitigation tools and techniques fall into three broad categories: (1) structural techniques including
design and construction; (2) environmental interventions and (3) non-structural interventions.
Structural mitigation projects include strengthening of vulnerable structures and public facilities to
withstand wind, fire and other forces, elevation of structures to protect them from flood damage,
construction of storm water control facilities and drainage improvements. Environmental
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Appendix 4 Page 4-2
intervention refers to actions that reduce the vulnerability of communities by armoring them against
the elements. This term includes beach restoration and stabilization projects. Non- structural
mitigation refers to policies for avoiding hazard impacts, applying zoning restrictions, land acquisition
in the floodplain, promoting citizen awareness and public education initiatives.
Each goal identified objectives which fell into one of five (5) specific measures: A. Prevention:
Government administrative or regulatory actions or processes that influence the way land and
buildings are developed and built. These actions also include public activities to reduce hazard
losses. Examples include planning and zoning, building codes, capital improvement programs, open
space, preservation and storm water management regulation. B. Property Protection:
Actions that involve the modification of existing building or infrastructure to protect them from a
hazard or removal from the hazard area. Examples include acquisition, elevation, relocation,
structural retrofits, flood proofing, storm shutters, and impact-resistant glass.
C. Public Education and Awareness:
Actions to inform and educate citizens, elected officials and property owners about potential risks
from hazards and potential ways to mitigate them. Such actions include outreach projects, real
estate disclosure, hazard information centers, and school-age and adult education programs. D. Natural Resource Protection:
Actions that, in addition to minimizing hazard losses also preserve or restore the functions of natural
systems. These actions include sediment and erosion control, stream corridor restoration, watershed
management, forest and vegetation management and wetland restoration and preservation.
E. Structural Projects:
These are actions that involve the construction of structures to reduce the impact of a hazard. Such
structures include storm water controls, floodwalls, seawalls, retaining walls and safe rooms.
The implementation of a mitigation program is a key component in the achievement of a “sustainable
community”, one in which citizens, businesses and institutions are protected from the disruptions and
impacts of disasters. In an urbanized metropolitan county such as Pinellas County, coordination
among and between levels of government is critical to the success of the program.
The LMS established the goals and objectives listed on the following pages (Table 4-1) as a foundation
of the countywide mitigation strategy in 2009. These were reviewed by the Goals and Objectives
Subcommittee with only minor recommendations for change. These were approved by the LMS
Committee at the July 2014 meeting.

Appendix 5 Page 5-1
APPENDIX 5: LOCAL PROGRAMS,
POLICIES AND CAPABILITIES
Overview
Based on the hazards and vulnerability analyses, the
next step in the LMS planning process was the
development of definitive, realistic goals and
objectives (Appendix 4), followed by the
examination of existing county and municipal
policies, programs and capabilities.
Pinellas County and its municipalities currently have several existing programs and plans related to
hazard mitigation and post-disaster redevelopment. The primary programs and plans include the
Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP), the (25) Local Government Comprehensive
Plans and Local Land Development Regulations, the National Flood Insurance Program Floodplain
Management Plans and Community Rating System (CRS) Plans (participating communities) and
Stormwater Management Plans.
This appendix contains an analysis of the county-wide ability to carry out mitigation activities. This
involves identifying strengths and weaknesses, and where weaknesses are identified, remedial
actions will be identified in the form of recommended actions and assignments made to follow up.
The first section in this analysis, deals with the legal structure that enables specific mitigation
actions. The next section is an analysis of local and regional programs and policies that have either a
direct or indirect impact on mitigation. Next is the analysis section where laws, rules, programs and
policies identified in the previous sections are grouped in a tabular format under the type of hazard
to which they best relate. In addition, the table references the goals and objectives implemented by
the program or policy, the relation to local planning and any specific analysis undertaken, a
discussion of the strengths, weaknesses and any remedial actions recommended or implemented.
A full description of current efforts is provided in the Attachment 5.1. In addition to a description of
the analysis, the table serves to demonstrate the link between the project, the vulnerability and risk
analysis, the goals and objectives and local planning.
Upon evaluation of the current policies, the Pinellas County LMS Working Group has found them
effective in reducing the overall impacts of hazards in the County. Examples of these successes are
found during post-disaster flooding assessments. It is generally revealed that structures and
development built in compliance with locally adopted floodplain management provisions sustain
little or no flood damage. Those structures that are found to have sustained substantial damage
from water were built before the current regulations were adopted.
Legislation and Rules
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Appendix 5 Page 5-2
This section describes the appropriate legislation and rules that directly impact mitigation. Each
agency has enabling legislation that directs its activities and this legislation will be reviewed and
where appropriate analyzed for effectiveness and a part of the analysis of agency programs. As
legislation is identified that has an impact, positive or negative, it will be added to this section. As a
first step, the analysis focuses on legislation and rules dealing with Emergency Management and
Growth and Development.
During the 2008 update of the LMS, the legislation section was reviewed by the Pinellas LMS
Working Group and updated as required. Specific additions of legislation that have been added
and/or updated are:
• Florida Administrative Code, Chapter 62B-33
• Florida Building Code
• House Bill 7121
• House Bill 1435
Of all of the mitigation measures and capabilities updated within the state hazard mitigation plan,
the two key areas of change toward the state’s hazard management capabilities are the updates to
the Florida Building Code and the approval of House Bill 7121. The Florida Building Code continues
to be refined and enhanced periodically and by nature thereby makes the state of Florida, its
residents, and structures developed within Florida more equipped for the effects of natural disaster
events. Additionally, it statutorily defers to locally adopted flood damage prevention ordinances to
obtain floodplain compliance. As such, the code has both pre- and post-disaster activities that are
conducted by state agencies and local governments.
The development and approval of House Bill 7121 allows the state to generate additional funding
sources to conduct future projects that will produce more elaborate and detailed data on the State
of Florida pertaining to floodplain areas, SLOSH, and flood prone areas. These updates to the
state’s hazard capabilities and their complete descriptions can be found on the following pages.
A. Public Law 93-288, the Robert T. Stafford Act – State Hazard Mitigation Plan (322
Plan) Section 322 of the Stafford Act requires states to develop a hazard mitigation plan. The
Florida Hazard Mitigation Plan establishes a comprehensive program to effectively mobilize and
coordinate the state’s services and resources to make Florida’s communities more resistant to the
human and economic impacts of disasters. This plan serves as the state’s operational and
programmatic guidance to promote the national and state-based goals and objectives of the
“National Mitigation Strategy,” as coordinated by FEMA (State Enhanced Hazard Mitigation Plan,
2013).
B. Chapter 161, Florida Statutes - Coastal Zone Protection
Part III of Chapter 161, Florida Statutes, is known as the "Coastal Zone Protection Act of 1985." The
Act recognizes that coastal areas play an important role in protecting the ecology and the public
health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of the state; that in recent years the coastal areas have been
subjected to increasing growth pressures; and that unless these pressures are controlled, the very
features which make coastal areas economically, aesthetically, and ecologically rich will be
destroyed. Coastal areas form the first line of defense for the mainland against both winter storms
and hurricanes. The dunes of coastal areas perform valuable protective functions for public and
private property, and placement of permanent structures in these protective areas may lead to
increased risks to life and property and increased costs to the public. Coastal areas often protect
lagoons, salt marshes, estuaries, bays, marine habitats, and the mainland from the direct action of
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Appendix 5 Page 5-3
ocean waves or storm surges; absorb the forces of oceanic activity on their seaward sides and
protect calmer waters and stable shores to their landward sides; and are dynamic geologic systems
with topography that is subject to alteration by waves, storm surges, flooding, or littoral currents.
There is a tremendous cost to the state for post- disaster redevelopment in the coastal areas and
preventive measures should be taken on a continuing basis in order to reduce the harmful
consequences of natural and manmade disasters or emergencies. This Act authorizes management
of the most sensitive portion of the coastal zone through the imposition of strict construction
standards in order to minimize damage to the natural environment, private property, and life. This
statute is applicable in both pre- and post- disaster situations. (State Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2007)
C. Chapter 163, Florida Statutes - Local Comprehensive Planning
Ch. 163 FS outlines the requirements and optional elements for a county’s local comprehensive plan.
Each of Florida’s 470 local governments is to adopt a comprehensive plan to guide growth and
development. The comprehensive planning process guides development and limits growth in high
hazard areas, especially along the coast. Florida’s growth management laws (F.S. 163.3178) require
the state and local governments to have a comprehensive plan, which for coastal communities
includes a coastal management element. The purpose of this element is to restrict development
activities that damage or destroy coastal resources, and protect lives and property. The Legislature
limits public expenditures in areas that are subject to destruction by natural disasters. All coastal
management elements must have a component that outlines principles for hazard mitigation. They
must consider the capability to safely evacuate the density of coastal population proposed in current
and future land-use plan elements. Additionally, a designated high-hazard coastal area, which is a
Category one evacuation zone, needs to be identified in the coastal element. This statute is applicable
in both pre- and post-disaster situations. (State Enhanced Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2013)
D. Chapter 186, Florida Statutes – State and Regional Planning
Chapter 186, Florida Statutes sets out the growth management portion of the state comprehensive
plan. The legislature finds that “issues of public safety, education, health care, community and
economic development and redevelopment, protection and conservation of natural and historic
resources, transportation, and public facilities transcend the boundaries and responsibilities of
individual units of government, and often no single unit of government can plan or implement
policies to deal with these issues without affecting other units of government.” The state’s planning
process provides direction for the delivery of governmental services, a means for defining and
achieving the specific goals of the state, and a method for evaluating the accomplishment of those
goals. Included in the State Comprehensive Plan is a Growth Management portion. This section is
strategic providing guidance for state, regional, and local actions necessary to implement the state
comprehensive plan with regard to the physical growth and development of the state. This statute is
applicable in both pre- and post-disaster situations. (State Enhanced Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2013)
E. Chapter 187, Florida Statutes - The State Comprehensive Plan
State Comprehensive Plan provides long-range policy guidance for the orderly social, economic, and
physical growth of the state. The Florida Legislature reviews it biennially, and implementation of its
policies requires legislative action unless otherwise specifically authorized by the constitution or law.
The State Comprehensive Plan is intended to be a direction-setting document. Its policies may be
implemented only to the extent that financial resources are provided pursuant to legislative
appropriation or grants or appropriations of any other public or private entities. The plan does not
create regulatory authority or authorize the adoption of agency rules, criteria, or standards not
otherwise authorized by law. The goals and policies contained in the State Comprehensive Plan shall
be reasonably applied where they are economically and environmentally feasible, not contrary to the
public interest, and consistent with the protection of private property rights. The plan shall be
construed and applied as a whole, and no specific goal or policy in the plan shall be construed or
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Appendix 5 Page 5-4
applied in isolation from the other goals and policies in the plan. This statute is applicable in both
pre- and post-disaster situations. (State Enhanced Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2013)
F. Chapter 252, Florida Statutes (State Emergency Management Act) - Comprehensive
Emergency Management Plan (CEMP)
Chapter 252 Florida Statutes mandates the development of the Florida Comprehensive Emergency
Management Plan (The Plan). The Plan establishes a framework through which the State of Florida
prepares for; responds to; recovers from; and mitigates the impacts of a wide variety of disasters that
could adversely affect the health, safety and/or general welfare of the residents of the state. The Plan
provides guidance to state and local officials on procedures, organization, and responsibilities; and
provides for an integrated and coordinated local, state and federal response. This is an operations-
based plan that addresses evacuations; sheltering; post- disaster response and recovery; deployment
of resources; communications, and; warning systems. The Plan calls for annual exercises to
determine the ability of state and local governments to respond to emergencies. The Plan also
defines the responsibilities of state agencies and volunteer organizations. The Plan describes the
basic strategies, assumptions and mechanisms through which the state will mobilize resources and
conduct activities to guide and support local emergency management efforts through preparedness,
response, recovery, and mitigation. To facilitate effective operations, the Plan adopts a functional
approach that groups the types of assistance to be provided into 17 Emergency Support Functions.
Each Emergency Support Function is headed by a lead agency or organization, which has been
selected based on its authorities, resources, and capabilities in that functional area. Additionally, the
Plan contains a Mitigation Annex which details the state’s pre- and post-disaster mitigation
operations and related strategies. The Lead Agency appoints an Emergency Coordinating Officer to
manage that function in the State Emergency Operations Center. The Emergency Coordinating
Officers and members of the Division of Emergency Management form the State Emergency Response
Team. The State Emergency Response Team serves as the primary operational mechanism through
which state assistance to local governments is managed. State assistance will be provided to
impacted counties under the authority of the State Coordinating Officer, on behalf of the governor, as
head of the State Emergency Response Team. This statute is applicable in both pre- and post-
disaster situations. (State Enhanced Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2013)
G. Chapter 252.38, Florida Statutes
Directs the Division of Emergency Management (Division) to establish a statewide competitive grant
application process for proposals to construct or improve county Emergency Operations Centers
(EOC) and designated state alternate EOCs. Upon completion of the competitive grant application
process, the division is further directed to prioritize properly submitted projects and submit a
comprehensive funding proposal to the Legislative Budget Commission (LBC) for approval. This
report provides the division’s comprehensive funding proposal to construct or improve county EOCs
to the LBC. Backed by statute (s. 252.38(3) (a) 3, Florida Statutes), all of Florida’s counties are
required to establish a primary (and one or more secondary) EOC to provide continuity of
government and direction and control of emergency operations. However, neither the statute, nor
any other law, rule, standard or code sets forth minimum survivability or workspace criteria for
county EOCs. Therefore, the relative survivability, available workspace, features and prominence of
the emergency management EOC-function over other day-to-day uses is quite variable. (State
Enhanced Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2013)
H. Section 373.036, Florida Statutes – Flood Protection
In cooperation with the water management districts, regional water supply authorities, and others,
the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) shall develop the Florida water plan.
The Florida water plan shall include, but not be limited to the programs and activities of the
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Appendix 5 Page 5-5
department related to water supply, water quality, flood protection and floodplain management,
and natural systems. The Florida water plan is intended to help DEP, especially the Division of
Water Resource Management and the six DEP regulatory districts, focus on the highest water
resource protection priorities, organize its own water management responsibilities, and build water
management partnerships. It identifies significant water resource management priorities facing the
state and sets forth strategies and actions for addressing them. Most importantly, the water
management districts bring crucial floodplain data to the map modernization process through flood
insurance studies and flood insurance rate maps. In general, the water management districts have
significant expertise and continually upgrade their capabilities with FEMA’s funding assistance.
(State Enhanced Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2013)
I. Chapter 380, Florida Statutes
1) Part I of Chapter 380, Florida Statutes is known as "The Florida Environmental Land
and Water Management Act of 1972." Its intent is to protect the natural resources
and environment of Florida as provided in s. 7, Art. II of the State Constitution, ensure
a water management system that will reverse the deterioration of water quality and
provide optimum utilization of limited water resources, facilitate orderly and well-
planned development, and protect the health, welfare, safety, and quality of life of the
residents of this state. In order to accomplish these purposes, it was necessary for the
state to establish land and water management policies to guide and coordinate local
decisions relating to growth and development. Local governments implement these
state land and water management policies through existing processes for the guidance
of growth and development.
2) Part II is called the "Florida Coastal Management Act." For planning and developing
coordinated projects and initiatives for coastal resource protection and management,
the coastal zone is considered to be the geographical area encompassed by the 35
Florida coastal counties listed in the Final Environmental Impact Statement for the
Florida Coastal Management Program and the adjoining territorial sea. Under
authority of this statute, projects landward and seaward of the 35 coastal counties are
reviewed for consistency with the Florida Coastal Management Program. The
program coordinates state governmental activities related to the protection,
preservation, and development of Florida's natural, cultural, and economic coastal
resources. A network of 10 agencies implement the program. A 15-member
Governor's Coastal Advisory Committee advises the governor and the Legislature on
coastal management issues and program implementation.
3) Part III may be cited as the "Florida Communities Trust Act." This statute finds that
the conservation of natural areas is vital to the state's economy and ecology. The
creation of greenways; expansion of green spaces; enhancement of recreation areas;
and protection and restoration of urban lakes, rivers, and watersheds in the urban
areas of this state are necessary to link populated areas with natural areas, preserve
unique cultural and heritage sites, provide land for recreational opportunities to
enhance the health and well-being of the urban residents of the state and improve
water quality. The Act recognizes that the primary responsibility for establishing
well-planned land use rests at the local government level through the
implementation of comprehensive plans. It also recognizes that many of the goals
and objectives of these comprehensive plans will not be met through regulation, but
require creative and innovative action to ensure their accomplishment. Therefore,
the Florida Communities Trust is established as a non- regulatory agency that assists
local governments in bringing local comprehensive plans into compliance and
implementing the goals, objectives, and policies of the conservation, recreation and
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Appendix 5 Page 5-6
open space, and coastal elements of local comprehensive plans, or in conserving
natural resources and resolving land use conflicts by: a) Responding promptly and creatively to opportunities to correct undesirable
development patterns, restore degraded natural areas, enhance resource values,
restore deteriorated or deteriorating urban waterfronts, reserve lands for later
purchase, participate in and promote the use of innovative land acquisition
methods, and provide public access to surface waters.
b) Providing financial and technical assistance to local governments, state agencies,
and nonprofit organizations to carry out projects and activities and to develop
programs authorized by this part. c) Involving local governments and private interests in voluntarily resolving land
use conflicts and issues.
d) Acquiring or disposing of real and personal property or any interest therein
when necessary or appropriate to protect the natural environment, provide
public access or public recreational facilities, preserve wildlife habitat areas,
provide access for managing acquired lands, or otherwise carry out the purposes
of the Act. This statute is applicable in both pre- and post-disaster situations.
(State Enhanced Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2013)
J. Chapter 590, Florida Statutes
Chapter 590, Florida statutes states that “the division has the primary responsibility for prevention,
detection, and suppression of wildfires wherever they may occur. The division shall provide
leadership and direction in the evaluation, coordination, allocation of resources, and monitoring of
wildfire management and protection. The division shall promote natural resource management and
fuel reduction through the use of prescribed fire and other fuel reduction measures.” (State Enhanced
Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2013)
K. House Bill 7121
House Bill 7121 - Disaster Preparedness Response and Recovery states, "The Legislature finds that
hurricane evacuation planning is a critical task that must be completed in the most effective and
efficient manner possible. Appropriated funds may be used to update current regional evacuation
plans and shall incorporate current transportation networks, behavioral studies, and vulnerability
studies. In addition, funds may be used to perform computer-modeling analysis on the effects of
storm-surge events." House Bill 7121 provides legislative findings with respect to the need for
improvements in the state's infrastructure in response to the hurricane seasons of 2004 and 2005;
provides criteria for an appropriation to fund the construction or renovation of county emergency
operation centers and designates alternate state emergency operation centers; provides criteria for
an appropriation for retrofitting public hurricane evacuation shelters.
Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM) has initiated an effort that will ultimately result
in the update of the Regional Evacuation Studies (RES) for the state. This process will require
updates to the coastal surge modeling tools with more current and accurate elevation data, i.e. LiDAR.
Under House Bill 7121, the Division of Emergency Management received funding to update all 11
regional evacuation studies. As part of the process, new coastal LIDAR data will be gathered under
separate contract and provided to update coastal surge/flood modeling tools including SLOSH. The
SLOSH model processing will be conducted by the National Weather Service. FDEM is currently
under contract with the Regional Planning Councils to begin the evacuation study project and the
Division of Emergency Management will be coordinating this project. The first phase of the project
will include demographic and land use analysis, hazards and behavioral analysis, shelter analysis and
finally an evaluation of the transportation networks in each region, which will lead into the initiation
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Appendix 5 Page 5-7
and completion of vulnerability and transportation analysis components scheduled for later in the
project cycle. (State Enhanced Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2013)
L. Rule 9B-74 - The Florida Building Code
The 1998 Florida Legislature passed a building code reform law that mandated a single statewide
Florida Building Code. On March 1, 2002, the Code replaced more than 400 local codes and is
designed to make the local building process more efficient, increase accountability, bring new and
safer products to the market, increase consumer confidence and better protect the residents of this
natural disaster prone state. The Code integrates minimum plumbing, mechanical, gas, electrical and
building codes with public school, energy and accessibility codes, and state regulations for facility
licensing. The Code correlates with the fire protection and life safety requirements of the Florida Fire
Protection Code. This statute is applicable in both pre- and post- disaster situations. Additionally,
the code recognizes, for floodplain management purposes, locally adopted flood damage prevention
ordinances and defers to them on flood prone construction and development. (State Enhanced
Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2013)
M. Chapter 9G-22, Florida Administrative Code
The Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) is a state administered federal program that helps
local communities that have been damaged by natural disasters to accomplish meaningful mitigation
measures. Chapter 9G-22, Florida Administrative Code, describes the process for application, project
selection and distribution of funds under the HMGP. The rule requires local jurisdictions to develop a
Local Mitigation Strategy (or Plan) in order to receive HMGP funding. The plan must contain a long-
term recovery strategy and identify viable mitigation projects that are based on potential economic
loss avoidance and overall risk reduction. The Local Mitigation Strategies in turn form the
foundation of Florida’s statewide mitigation program. This statute is applicable in both pre- and
post-disaster situations. (State Enhanced Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2013)
N. Chapter 9G-6, Florida Administrative Code
Chapter 9G-6, FAC establishes the compliance criteria, as well as the compliance review procedures
for the County and Municipal Emergency Preparedness Management Plan (CEMP) that consist of
provisions addressing aspects of preparedness, response, recovery and mitigation. Pursuant to
Chapter 252.35 (b), the Chapter 9G-6 ensures that county plans (and the municipal plans for those
municipalities that elect to establish emergency management programs) are coordinated and
consistent with the state comprehensive emergency management plan. This statute is applicable in
both pre- and post-disaster situations. (State Enhanced Hazard Mitigation Plan, 2013)
O. Blumenauer Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2004
On June 30, 2004, President George W. Bush signed into law the Bunning-Bereuter-Blumenauer
Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2004. The Act (Public Law 108-264) reauthorizes the National Flood
Insurance Program until September 30, 2008, and revises the existing Flood Mitigation Assistance
Program in three ways (Severe Repetitive Loss):
1) It creates a Pilot Program at $40 million per year to mitigate severe repetitive loss
properties, as well as provides funds for local administration, and reduces the
nonfederal match from 25% to 10% with an approved mitigation plan that specifies
how the state intends to reduce the number of severe repetitive loss properties;
2) It authorizes an increase of 150% in flood insurance premium rates for those severe
repetitive loss property owners who refuse an offer of a mitigation grant, and;
3) It amends the existing basic Flood Mitigation Assistance Program by increasing annual
funding from $20 million to $40 million, while providing funds for local
administration, and reducing the non-federal match from 25% to 10% with an
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Appendix 5 Page 5-8
approved mitigation plan that specifies how the state intends to reduce the number of
severe repetitive loss properties.
P. The Biggert-Waters National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012
BW 12 provided long-term changes to the National Flood Insurance Program. Under the new law,
rates are likely to increase overall to reflect the true flood risk of your home and many insurance
discounts will be eliminated. For example, rates for certain secondary homes in high-risk areas will
increase 25 percent per year over the next 4 years starting in 2013. Policy rates for all properties
could increase based on one or all of the following circumstances:
Change of ownership
Lapse in coverage
Change in risk
Substantial damage or improvement to a building
(www.floodsmart.gov)
Q. Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act of 2014
On March 21, 2014, President Obama signed the Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act
of 2014 into law. This law repeals and modifies certain provisions of the Biggert-Waters Flood
Insurance Reform Act, which was enacted in 2012, and makes additional program changes to other
aspects of the program not covered by that Act. Many provisions of the Biggert-Waters Flood
Insurance Reform Act remain and are still being implemented. Today, the program is focused on
implementing recent legislation by adjusting premium increases, issuing new rates and map
updates, supporting mitigation and ensuring special advocacy to connect policyholders with the
information they need to better understand the program. (www.floodsmart.gov)
R. Chapter 62B-33, Florida Administrative Code
Chapter 62B-36, Florida Administrative Code, (also known as the Beach Erosion Control Assistance
Program) provides the design and siting requirements that must be met to obtain a coastal
construction control line permit. Approval or denial of a permit application is based upon a review of
the potential impacts to the beach dune system, adjacent properties, native salt resistant vegetation,
and marine turtles. The Coastal Construction Control Line Program is an essential element of
Florida's coastal management program. It provides protection for Florida's beaches and dunes while
assuring reasonable use of private property. Recognizing the value of the state’s beaches, the Florida
legislature initiated the Coastal Construction Control Line Program to protect the coastal system from
improperly sited and designed structures that can destabilize or destroy the beach and dune system.
Once destabilized, the valuable natural resources are lost, as are its important values for recreation,
upland property protection and environmental habitats. Adoption of a coastal construction control
line establishes an area of jurisdiction in which special siting and design criteria are applied for
construction and related activities. These standards may be more stringent than those already
applied in the rest of the coastal building zone because of the greater forces expected to occur in the
more seaward zone of the beach during a storm event. (State Enhanced Hazard Mitigation Plan,
2013)
Community Rating System
CRS provides flood insurance premium discounts to NFIP-participating communities that take extra
measures to manage floodplains above the minimum requirements. A point system is used to
determine a CRS rating from 10 to 1, with lower scores indicating better ratings. A community that
does not participate in CRS or that does not maintain the minimum number of credit points would
be considered a Class 10 community. The more measures a community takes to minimize or
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Appendix 5 Page 5-9
eliminate exposure to floods, the more CRS points are awarded, the lower their CRS Class Rating and the higher the discount on flood insurance premiums. A list of CRS communities is available on FEMA’s Web site at http://www.fema.gov/library/viewRecord.do?id=3629 (FEMA, 2012b). The unincorporated areas of Pinellas County and most of the incorporated communities participate in the CRS program. CRS class ratings for each of these communities are shown in Table 5-1.

Comprehensive Plans
A comprehensive plan is a land use document providing framework and policy direction for land use
decisions. Comprehensive plans usually include chapters detailing policies affecting land use,

Local Programs, Policies and Regulations
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Appendix 5 Page 5-11
While the County Emergency Management Administration and Planning Department serve as the
coordinating and leadership role for the Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy, it is emphasized
that many county and municipal departments, non-governmental agencies and private sector
organizations have programs, resources and capabilities that will be invaluable in the
implementation of the efforts to improve the disaster resistance of Florida’s communities.
Some programs may not have been designed for specific hazard mitigation purposes, but do result in
the reduction of potential human or economic losses from disasters. For example, the protection of
coastal areas and wetlands was originally mandated to preserve environmental resources and
habitat. However, it also has the effect of reducing vulnerable populations and property in the
hurricane evacuation zones and floodplain areas.
As part of the 2009 update process, the Working Group is responsible for reviewing all of the local
agency activities and identifying all relevant programs and policies that have some impact on
mitigation. To complete this task, members of the Working Group have conducted local and county-
wide meetings and departmental interviews to identify mitigation programs and policies.
Typically, activities fall into the following general categories:
Emergency Management – Planning, Training, Exercise, Response and Recovery Floodplain
Management Programs – Preventive, Property Protection, Structural Projects
Comprehensive Planning – Preventive activities
Emergency Services – Prevention and Outreach
o Law Enforcement and Security Issues
o Fire Prevention, Response and Safety
o Hazardous Material Prevention, Response, and Safety
o EMS, Health Care Risk Assessment, Security, Response
Critical Facilities and Infrastructure Vulnerability Assessment and Protection
Communications – Outreach, Warning, Education
A listing of the county and municipal departments and agencies and a general description of their
mitigation missions are identified in Appendix 6. The mitigation plan for community participation
and outreach is outlined in Appendix 7. Critical facilities and vulnerability analyses is presented in
Appendix 12.
The following pages list the goals in each jurisdiction that match each of the measures enumerated.
These are the LMS Working Group goals that are referenced:
1. Preventive Measures (planning, zoning, open space preservation, Building codes and
enforcement, Utility retrofits
2. Property Protection - Acquisition, Relocation, Elevation, Retrofit
3. Emergency Services Measures - Warning, systems, shelters, safe rooms, monitoring systems,
response planning, evacuation, critical facilities protection
4. Structural Projects - Seawalls, reservoirs, channel modification, storm water management
facilities, drainage system maintenance
5. Natural Resource Protection - Wetland Protection, BMP, Erosion control, etc.
6. Public Information Programs

APPENDIX 6: LOCAL DEPARTMENTAL
RESPONSIBILITIES IN MITIGATION
IMPLEMENTATION
Overview
As presented in Appendix 5, Pinellas County and its
municipalities currently have several programs and plans
related to hazard mitigation and post-disaster redevelopment.
The primary programs and plans include the Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan
(CEMP), the (25) Local Government Comprehensive Plans and Local Land Development
Regulations, the National Flood Insurance Program Floodplain Management Plans and Community
Rating System (CRS) Plans (participating communities) and Stormwater Management Plans.
This appendix presents the departments and agencies responsible for implementation of the
mitigation strategies and an analysis of the county-wide ability to carry out mitigation activities. A
full description of current efforts by each department is provided in the following pages. In
addition to a description of the analysis, the tables serve to demonstrate the link between the
vulnerability and risk analysis, the goals and objectives, and local departmental responsibilities.
Upon evaluation of the current policies and programs, the Pinellas County LMS Working Group
has found them effective in reducing the overall impacts of hazards in the County; however, this
exercise helped the local governments identify the specific departments and agencies responsible
for the actual implementation of the programs, policies and regulations.
Local Departmental Responsibilities for Mitigation Implementation
As part of the 2009 update process, the Working Group is responsible for reviewing all of the local
agency activities and identifying all relevant programs and policies that have some impact on
mitigation. To complete this task, members of the Working Group have conducted local and
county-wide meetings and departmental interviews to identify mitigation programs and policies.
As indicated in Appendix 5, these activities typically fall into the following general categories:
A. Emergency Management – Preventive (development review), Planning,
Training, Exercise, Response and Recovery
B. Floodplain Management Programs – Preventive, Property Protection, Structural Projects
C. Comprehensive Planning – Preventive activities
D. Emergency Services – Prevention and Outreach
1) Law Enforcement and Security Issues
2) Fire Prevention, Response and Safety
3) Hazardous Material Prevention, Response, and Safety
4) EMS, Health Care Risk Assessment, Security, Response
E. Critical Facilities and Infrastructure Vulnerability Assessment and Protection
F. Communications – Outreach, Warning, Education
A listing of the county and municipal departments and agencies and a general description of their
mitigation missions is provided in the following pages.

APPENDIX 7: COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION
AND OUTREACH
Overview
Pinellas County has developed an extensive emergency
preparedness and mitigation educational/outreach program over
the years with input and support from state, regional, county and
municipal governments and both public and private stakeholders.
Pinellas County and its municipalities have multiple outreach
programs designed to encourage preparedness and mitigation
activities primarily through the floodplain management programs and hurricane awareness
programs. Spreading the word about the cost-effectiveness of mitigation is a challenge in these
economic times. Nevertheless, in partnership with the State (Florida Division of Emergency
Management), the private sector and organizations such as the Federal Alliance for Safe Homes
(FLASH), our communities have taken advantage of opportunities to encourage residents and
businesses to “do their part” to minimize the risk to their families as well as their property.
The program has evolved with the use of creative and innovative tools providing two-way
communication between county and municipalities, volunteer and civic organizations, the business
community and the public. The challenge of the Local Mitigation Strategy was to assemble all of the
activities, opportunities and materials in a concise and coordinated document. This provided the
opportunity to identify collaborative partnerships as well as any gaps in our public warning and
education campaign, to track outreach efforts and identify successful best practices.
Public Outreach Subcommittee
In preparation for the 5-year Update of the Pinellas LMS, the LMS Committee identified a Public
Outreach Subcommittee which included representatives from the Pinellas County Communications
Department and Public Safety PIO Group, the County Economic Development Department,
municipal planning and floodplain management including the barrier island communities, the
American Red Cross and the Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council.
The subcommittee met bi-monthly during the update of the Pinellas LMS to (1) identify goals and
objectives; (2) identify additional stakeholders; and (3) review activities and materials to ensure
effective and consistent messaging to targeted populations.
The Public Outreach Subcommittee of the LMS identified specific strategies to accomplish the
following goals:
1. Solicit input from the community in the drafting of the LMS and continue to encourage
representation from non-governmental stakeholders in the planning process on the LMS
Working Group;
2. Develop key mitigation topics, messages and desired outcomes;
3. Inventory existing outreach activities and networks/ target audiences/ key messages
throughout the county; and
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Appendix 7 Page 7-2
4. Identify any gaps in our communications capability and make adjustments to improve our
ability to “market” the message of mitigation to our residents and businesses in the
community.
Public Participation
The following policies were adopted by the LMS Working Group as part of the planning process: The workgroup adheres to “Sunshine Regulations” for Open Meetings. Florida is
renowned for putting a high priority on the public's right of access to governmental
meetings and records. In fact, the principles of open government are embodied not only
in Florida statutes, but also guaranteed in the state Constitution. Reference Florida’s
Government in the Sunshine Manual. Documents (except those sections deemed protected under security provisions or privacy
issues) are public and made available at Pinellas County Emergency Management’s Office,
the local municipalities and the website (www.pinellaslms.org). See screen capture of
website in Attachment 7- 1.
Pinellas County invited many organizations via email and mailings to help in the LMS planning
process. Specific invitations were extended to additional members of agencies, associations,
businesses, and committees who have newly formed (such as Recover Pinellas, the Pinellas County
Citizen Corps. Council and the Pinellas County Health Care Preparedness Coalition, etc.), additional
public and private sector organizations partnering in preparedness activities including Pinellas
Suncoast Transit Authority (PSTA) and the Urban Sustainability Program at the UF/IFAS Extension
Office, as well as those which have not attended recently.
The Pinellas Local Mitigation Strategy Committee also reached out to the stakeholders who
participated in the Pinellas County Post-Disaster Redevelopment Plan (PDRP, 2011). The working
subcommittees included representatives from the following areas:
Public Outreach (Communications Department, PIO Group, etc.)
Financial Administration (Financial and purchasing departments, Public Works, etc.)
Land Use, Housing and Mitigation (Planning Dept., Community Development, Communities
Association, Neighborhood Assoc., Mobile Home owners, etc.)
Construction, Permitting and Historic Preservation (Contractors Licensing Board,
Permitting Dept., Historic Preservation Committee)
Economic Redevelopment (Economic Development Dept., Chambers of Commerce, CVB,
Hotel Association)
Infrastructure Restoration (Clearwater Gas, Duke Power, FDOT, MPO, PIE Airport)
Environmental Restoration (Tampa Bay NEP, Environmental and Infrastructure Dept.)
Health and Human Services (ESF 8 /Health Preparedness Coalition, Pinellas Recovers,
Residential Living Facilities, child care, Juvenile Welfare Board, etc.)
The Pinellas LMS Committee also coordinated with the Pasco, Hillsborough and Manatee County
Emergency Management and LMS Coordinators, and scheduled joint meetings with the CRS
Coordinators in the Region to ensure better coordination with the LMS Update and the CRS/
floodplain management programs.
In addition, the Pinellas County Communications Department, stakeholders and local governments
developed a comprehensive outreach strategy using their websites, surveys, electronic newsletters,
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Appendix 7 Page 7-3
the countywide PIO Network to solicit input from the public. Specifically, the public was informed
of the LMS Update and its importance to the community. In addition, they were asked for input
regarding the hazard and vulnerability assessment, flood/risk mapping, insurance issues, and
mitigation initiatives.
Target Audiences
The Pinellas LMS Committee identified the following target audiences for mitigation outreach:
• The entire Pinellas County including all municipalities:
o All areas in the county need to be aware of the flooding hazard as past flooding
events have demonstrated. In addition, all areas are vulnerable to severe weather
(hurricane force winds, thunderstorms and tornadoes)
• 100-year and 500-year Floodplain (Residents (owner and renter) and Businesses):
o All residents and businesses within the FEMA flood zones must be aware of their
increased risk, the need for flood insurance and ways to mitigate their potential
losses.
• Repetitive Loss Areas (Residents (owner and renter) and Businesses):
o Properties in these areas have been hit more often by flooding, so they have a
greater need for flood protection information as well as options for mitigation.
There are 1501 structures in the repetitive loss areas (See Appendix 13)
• Hurricane Evacuation Zones (Residents (owner and renter) and Businesses) :
o Pinellas County is especially vulnerable to storm surge and residents who are
susceptible are identified in the Hurricane Evacuation Zones.
• Wildfire Interface Areas (Residents (owner and renter) and Businesses):
o Due to the urban nature of the county, the wildfire threat is not extensive; however,
there are neighborhoods adjacent to parks and conservation areas which need to be
informed of the potential threat of wildfire, safety measures and mitigation
opportunities.
• Seniors
o Pinellas County has a significant number of seniors who because of age or disability
may be at higher risk and have special needs.
• Contractors, real estate, lending and insurance companies
o These companies are key to conveying information about flood hazard and flood
insurance. The Committee wants to make sure that they understand and have all the
information they need about these topics.
• Business Community
o Businesses are a vital part of our economic and community. It is imperative that
businesses are prepared for emergencies.
• Spanish Speaking Population
o Pinellas County has a growing Hispanic population. Approximately 8% of the
population is listed as “Hispanic or Latino origin” (2010 Census) representing a 73%
increase since 2000. Obviously, it is important that information is provided to this
population in Spanish.
Messages and Outcomes
One of the first steps in determining the level of knowledge and interest in mitigation was to
conduct a survey of residents. Pinellas County conducted a web-based survey in 2014. The
survey and results of this survey are presented in Attachment 7-4. This survey provided
information for the Communications Department in better crafting the mitigation message.
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Appendix 7 Page 7-4
Priority Topics of Messages:
1. Know your risk
2. Insure your property for your hazard(s)
3. Public Safety Information
4. Protect your property from the hazard(s)

Storm”: It’s Everyone’s Responsibility.” Approximately 100,000 copies were
printed and distributed through local libraries, fire stations, all public buildings
and Walgreens. The Guide (on the website and available for review) provides
residents and visitors with information on how to “stay connected” in emergencies
including
o How to get alerts through the weather alert radio or a wireless emergency
alert equipped cell phone.
o How to sign up for the free, award wining Pinellas County E-Lert electronic
newsletter; where to get addition information on PCC-TV,
o How to contact the Citizens Information Center

newsletter provides information on emergency preparedness and mitigation
including risk information (evacuation zones, flood risk zones, etc.), shelters,
safety tips, etc. See Attachment 7-2 (screen capture of newsletter).
• Video Library: A series of videos available online at a county website (See Attachment 7-2
for screen capture.) They are prepared and presented by the Pinellas County
Communications Department and can be accessed and presented through municipal
governments, businesses, schools or organizations. The e-Series includes 15 minute
presentation which covers variety of topics, including:
o How to secure your home for flood and wind
o Special needs evacuation and sheltering (Seniors and Disabled)
o Pet preparedness
o How to prepare your business
o What does insurance cover – and not cover
• LMS Working Group meetings are announced on the County Community Calendar and
web site (www.pinellascounty.org). In addition, the website (www.pinellaslms.org)
provides announcement, agendas and minutes of all meetings . Both of these calendars
are linked to municipal and partner websites throughout the county. See Attachment 7-
1.
• Pinellas County Communications Department, through County Connections, solicited
input from local residents through three Focus Groups in 2010. The groups were
established and each met with County Emergency Management personnel and LMS
Working Group members to present the draft documents including the goals and
objectives, existing programs and policies, prioritized projects and accomplishments. An
effort was made to hold the meetings in the northern, southern and central parts of the
county where municipal interests could also participate. The findings of the Focus Groups
were consolidated and are provided in Attachment 7-5.
• In addition, the Communications Department sent out an electronic survey through
Facebook and newsletters to citizens requesting their input in to the mitigation strategy.
In addition to the county-wide efforts, each jurisdiction has a communication program for their
residents and neighboring communities. The “culture of preparedness” in the county expands not
just to specific public safety forums, workshops and expos, but to the provision of this information
at other community events. Types of outreach at the jurisdictional level include the following:
Community Events News Letters Presentations to Governing Bodies Questionnaires/Surveys Roundtables/ Forums Webinars/ E-TownHall Meetings Social Media/ Email Area-Specific Meetings Websites

report. See List of Attachments.
Other Public Information Initiatives
PUBLIC WARNING
As stated in the Pinellas County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP, Basic Plan, pg
36-37 and Communications Annex, 2013), notification and warning involve the notification of
emergency response personnel, as well as notifying the affected public. Pinellas County uses a
combination of e-mail, telephone, radio, fax, and paging services to notify and activate its
emergency response personnel. Pinellas County may use all available public warning systems to
notify and warn Pinellas residents. This can include the Emergency Alert System (EAS), the National
Weather Radio system, and a computer and cell phone notification system activated by the county
as well as using the public media. The PCEM is responsible for activating the appropriate
notification and public warning systems when an emergency occurs or threatens the county.
The National Weather Service (NWS) re-certified Pinellas County as Storm Ready in 2009, in
recognition of the county’s commitment to maintaining an effective notification and warning
system. Storm Ready is a program sponsored by the NWS to recognize those communities that
enhance their weather action plan, and demonstrate readiness before, during, and after severe
weather events.
1) County Warning Point (CWP)
The County Watch Office (CWO) is the 9-1-1 Emergency Communications Center, located in the
County Annex Building. The alternate Watch Office is located at the County EOC. Trained
communications personnel staff the CWO 24 hours per day.
Communications systems available include:
EMNet
EMNet was upgraded in 2011 to replace the outdated Emergency Satellite Communications
System (ESATCOM). EMNet supports secure text messaging and point to point voice
communications between the State Watch Office and Pinellas County EOC/County Warning
Point, as well as, counties throughout Florida. The EMNet system is designed to provide
redundant communications capabilities by using an existing network connection to the
Internet as its primary path, with the satellite system operating as a back up to the
terrestrial patch.
800 MHz radios, Telephones, Faxes, Pagers (alpha and numeric), and
Emergency contact lists with key telephone numbers
The CWO is supplied auxiliary power by an on-site 400kw generator. This generator senses
a loss of power and starts up automatically. Facility maintenance staff load test the
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Appendix 7 Page 7-8
generator weekly and in case of an impending storm. The generator’s fuel capacity is 16,000
gallons and consumes approximately 20 gallons per hour. County Fleet Management has a
maintenance agreement with several fuel companies to supply fuel for the generator
continuously during a loss of power. The CWP is also wired to receive a portable generator
should the primary fail.
2) EM Staff Notification
The PCEM compares the type, size, and severity of the emergency with resources needed, to decide
who needs to be notified, and what type of team activation is needed. Once the director requests or
authorizes activation of the EOC, the appropriate department emergency management
representatives are notified. In turn, department emergency management coordinators and team
members continue to notify their support staff in a pyramid fashion. If a person on the list cannot
be contacted, his or her successor(s) will be contacted until someone is reached to assume the
responsibility.
3) Organizational Notification
The PCEM maintains and updates master emergency contact lists, with afterhours and
alternate telephone numbers, for each municipality and fire district, department, agency
and their personnel.
When a no-notice emergency occurs or is imminent, the CWO will obtain the necessary
information on the incident and notify the PCEM. In turn, PCEM will notify the
representatives appropriate for immediate response to the incident.
The CWO will also notify the State Watch Office (SWO) of the incident and provide the
pertinent information. If the incident involves hazardous materials, the CWO notifies the
SWO. The SWO is notified as soon as possible of events not requiring state assistance.
The primary means to notify the SWO is by telephone. The CWO can use EMNet Voice
Manager or text messaging as an alternate method of communicating with the SWO. See the
CWO SOP for details.
The primary representative for each EOC function will contact the supporting agencies. All
agencies will notify their personnel to begin activation procedures as described in their
local procedures, or standard operating guidelines.
Each municipal Emergency Management Coordinator (EMC) will alert the municipal/fire
control district in his/her community and supervise the dissemination of warnings in their
jurisdiction.
4) Public Warning
There are no siren systems in Pinellas County, but it has a wide array of commercial broadcast
coverage that can disseminate information quickly. Pinellas County will attempt to provide the
public with sufficient advance warning time for effective preparation and emergency plans to be
implemented.
5) Emergency Alert System (EAS)
EAS is designed to permit government officials to issue up-to-date and continuous
emergency information, and instructions to the public in case of a threatened or actual
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Appendix 7 Page 7-9
emergency. During times of emergency, Pinellas County will access local TV and radio
stations using EAS access points and will provide residents emergency information
Other systems available to disseminate warning information to the public:
o Tampa Bay television broadcast stations
o Tampa Bay radio broadcast stations
o Pinellas Cable Channel
o Municipal Cable Channels
o National Weather Radio (Ruskin Office)
o Media Alert
o Commercial Community Notification System to registered citizens’ cell phones and /
or email.1
o Public address systems on police and fire vehicles
o Amateur Radio Emergency Service and Auxiliary Communication Services
o Facsimiles
o Mass e-mail capability
o 911 Emergency Communications Paging System
o ReadyAlert
o RNS – Ready Alert Notification System – a reverse 911 citizen call system
For purposes of transmitting warnings, the county will use the fastest and most appropriate
means of dissemination. The National Weather Service (NWS) has agreed to activate the
National Weather Radio Alert for both weather and non-weather emergencies. This makes
the National Weather Radio an ideal alert and notification tool. The weather radios can also
be accessed through HazCollect directly from the EOC.
All communication centers have capabilities to receive incoming calls from the hearing
impaired. The CIC also can provide information to hearing impaired citizens. Pinellas
County also maintains a cadre of employees that speak additional languages that can
respond quickly. Local telephone companies provide translation services to non-English
speaking and hearing impaired citizens.
Repetitive Loss Properties
As a special target population, all property owners with repetitive flood losses (or severely
repetitive losses) are contacted at least annually by their local jurisdictions. This special mailing
includes the (1) identification of their property as a repetitive loss property as defined by FEMA, (2)
the recommendation to purchase flood insurance to cover future losses, and (3) mitigation
strategies and financial assistance opportunities to reduce their future losses.
1 Pinellas County’s new Mass Notification System: FirstCall is free to county residents and gives emergency
managers multiple ways to get the word out whenever an emergency situation arises. Subscribers will
receive a notification on each contact method they provide – phone, text and/or email. The FirstCall network
allows emergency managers to send out alerts to the county as a whole or to smaller, more specific
geographic areas. (See Attachment 7-2)
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Appendix 7 Page 7-10
Implementation, Monitor and Evaluation of the Program
In addition to the major 5- year update, the Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy is updated
annually. As part of that update, efforts are made to evaluate public participation in preparedness
and mitigation. The outreach and communications programs evolve based upon citizen input (focus
groups and surveys, etc.), stakeholder engagement, and new technologies including social media.
Activities for continued public participation include the periodic presentation on the plan’s
progress to elected officials, schools and other community groups. Programs are continued
throughout the year with postings on social media and websites, special events, media events,
webinars, etc.
It is recognized that the success of the preparedness/mitigation message depends on the
partnerships built in the planning process and the collaboration and sharing of best practices.
Quarterly meetings of the LMS Committee allow for presentations of current issues, opportunities
for outreach and public information, increased stakeholder participations and the sharing of
“lessons learned” from training, exercises or events.
Pinellas County, in an effort to spearhead efforts to further improve communication with citizens,
and to provide information about flood hazards, flood safety, flood insurance and ways to protect
property and natural floodplain functions, has embarked on a Program for Public Information (PPI).
Introduced by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) as anew planning tool, the PPI
provides a step-by-step coordinated approach to flood hazard outreach. See Attachment 7-6.

APPENDIX 8: PRIORITIZATION METHODOLOGY
Introduction
Based upon the Hazards Analysis and Vulnerability
Assessment, the review of both the Goals and Objectives and
Local Programs and Policies, the LMS Prioritization
Procedures outlined below were developed to better
prioritize future projects to be submitted for mitigation
funding.
The procedures are utilized to identify and
prioritize projects and programs that appear to:
1. Have technical merit
2. Be cost beneficial, and
3. Be environmentally sound and acceptable to the public upon implementation.
Annually, new projects are brought forward and evaluated by the Working Group for inclusion in
the Local Mitigation Strategy. The total score is then used as the basis for the preliminary ranking
of projects and programs on the list.
Scoring System and Definitions
The rating system for submitted projects/initiatives deals with projects on an objective basis and
is designed to treat projects from barrier islands, coastal communities, inland communities, small
towns and larger cities equally.
There are three components of the total score a project receives, with 16 variables having an
available total of 1500 points per project. The submitter assigns the score to each of the variables.
The score sheets are submitted to the LMS Vice Chair who reviews each one, providing a level of
consistency in the review process. The Vice Chair responds with his agreement or alternate scores
and explanations for those scores. The submitter and Vice Chair negotiate until they agree on an
accepted score for each of the variables. So far, this system is working to everyone’s satisfaction.
There are three components of the scoring system, weighed as follows:
A. 30% Suitability of the project – 450 points
1) 40% Appropriateness of the Project
Definition - The extent to which a measure reduces identified vulnerabilities and
conforms to stated Local Mitigation Strategy goals, objectives and plans.
2) 15% Community Acceptance
Definition - The likelihood of the measure being accepted or perceived as positive
by all, most, or only some of a community. The “not in my back yard” theory is a
negative.
3) 10% Environmental Impact
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Appendix 8 Page 8-2
Definition - An indicator of whether the measure will have a positive, negative, or
neutral effect on the environment.
4) 10% Consistent with Existing Legislation and/or Policies

Evaluation Spreadsheet
There is an LMS Prioritization Matrix spreadsheet that actually does the calculations based upon
the scoring of the 16 variables. The submitter fills out a prioritization matrix, which is an Excel®
spreadsheet and submits it to the Vice Chair. The spreadsheet is Figure 8-1.
Posting of Evaluation Spreadsheets
By vote of the Working Group, each evaluation spreadsheet, with accompanying comments and
remarks from the Vice Chair and the submitter, is posted at the Pinellas County LMS sharepoint
website. This enables everyone to see how everyone else’s project evaluation was handled.
Project List
Projects with accepted scores are listed in Appendix 9 in descending order, highest score first. In the
event of a tie score, the project with the lower cost is listed first. This helps to assure that, with
limited funds available, more projects get accomplished.
Challenge to a Score
In the event that a Working Group member feels an accepted project has been assigned a score
that is inaccurate or inconsistent, he may challenge that score. The method of challenging the
score will be as follows:
Challenges will be handled at Working Group meetings.
Each challenge will appear on the agenda and will need to be submitted far enough in advance of a
Working Group meeting to appear on the agenda that is sent out. Four items are listed in any
challenge:
• Sufficient details to identify the project whose score you are challenging.
• The score you are challenging.
• What you propose as an alternate score (1 – 5).
• Your justification for the score you propose.
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Appendix 8 Page 8-4
The agenda will be sent out in advance of the meeting. This will allow the jurisdiction whose scores are
being challenged an opportunity to research the reason and provide its own justification for its
scoring.
At the LMS Working Group meeting, each jurisdiction whose scores are being challenged will have
the opportunity to justify its scores or accept the alternate proposed by the challenger. The
challenger will have the opportunity to expand its submitted justification for the alternate score. The
Working Group Chair will determine how long discussion should proceed. If the challenged project’s
sponsor does not accept the alternate proposed score, the Working Group Chair will call for a vote
and a simple majority of Working Group members present will resolve the issue.
In the event that a jurisdiction whose score is being challenged is not represented at the Working
Group meeting, the project under question will have its score deleted and the project will be
considered as unrated.

APPENDIX 9: MITIGATION INITIATIVES
Introduction
The mitigation measures or initiatives listed in
Attachment 1 are the result of the identification,
evaluation and prioritizing of the proposed actions
from the representatives on the LMS Working Group.
The mitigation measures are consistent with the Goals
and Objectives identified in Appendix 4 and the
priority methodology defined in Appendix 8.
Identification of Mitigation Measures
Mitigation measures implemented in Florida can be grouped into five general categories or
approaches: preventive measure, property protection, emergency services, structural projects,
natural resource protection and public information.
Preventive Measures
Preventive measures keep problems from getting started or getting worse. The use of known
hazard areas, like floodplains, can be limited through growth management strategies, land
acquisition or regulation. Building, zoning, planning and code enforcement activities work hand-
in-hand to implement public safety and mitigation goals in the most cost-effective manner.
Implementation of preventive measures is a local responsibility which involves planning,
permitting and development review.
Property Protection
Property protection refers to the actions which retrofit or relocate vulnerable properties including
property acquisition, elevation of structures, hardening of structures (shutters), safe rooms or
flood proofing. Many of the measures listed are property protection strategies.
Structural Projects
Structural project are typically engineering projects designed to reduce or redirect the impact of
natural disaster (especially floods) away from at-risk population areas. Examples include
reservoirs, levees, seawalls, channel modification, storm water management facilities and drainage
system maintenance. Stormwater management is a major task in urbanized areas such as Pinellas
County and represents a significant part of local government budgets.
Natural Resource Protection
Natural resource protection preserves or restores natural areas or their natural functions. Park
and recreation departments, conservation agencies or wildlife groups usually implement such
measures including wetland protection, riverine protection, erosion and sediment control, and
beach renourishment projects.
Public Information Programs
Public information programs involve conveying risk to property owners and potential property
owners and an awareness of mitigation actions they should take. Examples of these activities
include flood maps and data, library resources, outreach projects, technical assistance, real estate

disclosure information and environmental education projects. Existing ongoing public outreach
projects are addressed in Appendix 7.

Biosolids
Building -
Hurricane
Hardening
The Biosolids building is a large
industrial, pre-engineered metal
building. It houses most of the
operating components used to convert
wastewater solid into a Class AA
Biosolid product, used for fertilization.
Due to the essential nature of the
facility, and the potential for the facility
to sustain significant damage during a
hurricane, a study was conducted to
evaluate the structural performance of
the building, under the effects of a
Category 3 hurricane and to provide
recommendations for either
strengthening the existing structure
($1.4 million), or total replacement of
the building ($1.8 million). Repair
work would include roofing, wall work,
structural bracing and stiffening,
replacement of doors, windows and
fans; and painting of structural steel.

of retrofitting the existing PSTA
building to function as a warehouse
with adequate capacity and centralized
record keeping. This will insure that
equipment and materials are properly
inventoried, managed, and at the ready
during a man-made and/or natural

this time, no fire station in the city is
provided with complete and adequate

APPENDIX 10: MITIGATION ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND SUCCESS
STORIES
Introduction
As projects are funded and accomplished - either through federal,
state or local resources – they move from the mitigation
initiatives (Appendix 9) to the List of Accomplishments
(Appendix 10) and new projects are then identified to keep the
county moving forward. The list of Accomplishments
(Attachment 1) does not include all of the projects completed
over the last 5-10 years. In fact many of the successes funded
locally, especially stormwater projects accomplished through
local Capital Improvement Projects (CIPs) and transportation
projects identified in the Transportation Improvement Program
(TIPs), probably have not been captured. However, communities
have recognized the benefit of celebrating these successes in the
LMS. A significant effort was made by each of the members to
identify their accomplishments.
Successful Mitigation Activities
Examples of some of the accomplishments within the County include the following:
1. One of the most striking examples has been the retrofit of existing schools in Pinellas County to
serve as hurricane shelters. Using HMGP and state EMPA funds, more than 20 schools were
retrofitted to American Red Cross standards (ARC 4496) reducing the county’s shelter deficit. In
2001, Pinellas County surveyed the shelter inventory and found there was very little public
shelter capacity that met the guidelines for the more than 200,000 population-at-risk from a
major hurricane. In partnership with the state and the local school board, Pinellas County has
increased their capacity to more than 50,000 spaces. In addition, the retrofitted schools and the
new schools built to the Enhanced Hurricane Protection Area (EHPA) standards have a much
better chance of withstanding a hurricane winds and therefore, being able to open more
quickly moving the community to recovery more quickly.
2. Using funding from the state of Florida Community Trust Program, the state has acquired
hundreds of millions of acres of land, now designated for public parks, open space and
greenways. During fiscal year 2002-03, the FCT program funded 37 projects that acquired
lands, which will prevent future development in Coastal High Hazard Areas and 100-Year
floodplains. One such example is the Wall Springs Coastal addition in Pinellas County, which
consisted of 87 areas of undeveloped privately owned land in the 100-Year floodplain. This
area is surrounded by several properties that are presently on the FEMA repetitive loss list for
Pinellas County. By acquiring these properties, the state is substantially reducing risk in these
areas.
3. As a result of lessons learned from Project Impact Initiative, the state recognized that
protecting the continuity of community businesses and industries after a disaster event is one
of the most important aspects of hazard mitigation. Without a resilient economic base,
affected communities cannot quickly recover and may experience permanent economic injury.
Under the umbrella of Florida Prepares Initiative, the state using HMGP program 5% funds,
partnered with the Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council to develop a motivational and
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Appendix 10 Page 10- 2
informative interactive CD/DVD outreach tool that presents a unified approach to all aspects of
business continuity. The project has resulted in the development of an educational business
CD, a manual for completing a business continuity plan with an emphasis on pre-disaster
mitigation, and a new webpage designed to complement the concepts presented in the manual.
In 2008 the website (www.fldisasterkit.org) was redesigned to include an updated guidebook
and emergency checklists for employers and employees, an interactive template for Business
Continuity Planning (the BCP Wizard) and a game which demonstrates the impact of choices
regarding preparedness and mitigation to a small business’ bottom line.
4. Using Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) program funds, the City of Indian Shores acquired a
structure that was under HUD foreclosure action. The structure was abandoned, blighted and
had become an eyesore to the community. The structure was acquired at a substantial
savings well below market appraisal for properties in this coastal/oceanfront community.
The structure was demolished and the site is presently used for parking.
5. In the spring of 2005, the City of Oldsmar applied for funds through the State of Florida – Joint
Hazard Mitigation Grant Program & Flood Mitigation Assistance. The grant funding was made
available by FEMA through the state as a result of a disaster declaration for Hurricane Frances in
September 2004. The grant request was for a project costing $103,723 to harden the city’s
Municipal Services complex which houses its Public Works and Leisure Services departments
and divisions. This facility is also utilized as a staging center for equipment and personnel
during times of disaster. Through the Pinellas County LMS the city was able to identify the
project, add it to the LMS project list and receive the LMS letter of support for the grant funds.
FEMA and the state awarded the city the 75% match grant funding in the spring of 2006 and the
project was completed within six months of award. The work included hardening doors and
frames, replacing overhead doors and shuttering windows. The facility is now much safer in a
high wind event and permits the city to continue essential operations during disaster
declarations.
6. In 2008, the City of Clearwater purchased the Friendly Village of Kapok Mobile Home Park to
eliminate repetitive flood losses. A nature park was created on the site. The City of Dunedin
elevated five repetitive loss structures, retrofitted 2 structures and completed one rebuild.
7. Indian Rocks Beach demolished 10 pre-FIRM structures and replaced with conforming
structures. Indian Shores completed a host of developed and implemented
8. Since 2010, Eckerd College constructed a new Center for Molecular and Life Sciences to
withstand storm wind and flooding and hardened the envelope of the Sheen Science Center (3
buildings)
9. Madeira Beach has completed the reconstruction of their Municipal Complex including their
City Hall, Fire Station, and Recreation Center to better withstand flooding and high winds.
10. Tarpon Springs completed a shoreline stabilization project ($503,700) using Penny for Pinellas
funding.
Since 2010, a host of stormwater projects have been completed throughout the County; critical facilities
such as schools, the Medical Examiner/ Forensics Building and Community Centers have been hardened
and lift stations elevated. In the county, 81 single family homes received a low interest loans from
Pinellas County for hurricane mitigation.

APPENDIX 11: POTENTIAL
FUNDING SOURCES
Introduction
One of the requirements for the LMS is the identification
of potential funding for mitigation projects. Federal,
state and local governments have programs which
provide funding for various types of mitigation. Some
funding is available prior to a disaster while other
programs are initiated in a post- disaster scenario.
Typically, many more resources specifically earmarked
for mitigation activities are available following a federal disaster declaration.
Local and state agencies have dedicated financial resources toward the funding of mitigation projects.
The majority of the state funds that indirectly support mitigation related activities are provided for
land acquisition, water quality and quantity-related issues as well as meeting non-federal match
requirements for various federally-funded mitigation assistance programs. Similarly, local
governments fund various projects including implementation of growth management initiatives;
planning, permitting and code enforcement; acquisition and maintenance of parks and conservation
areas; stormwater projects; housing mitigation assistance programs for low and moderate income
citizens; and construction and structural hardening of critical facilities, such as public safety and
emergency operations centers, fire and police stations, city halls, etc.
Both the State of Florida and local governments leverage funds available from federal and state sources
to provide financial assistance to implement the hazard mitigation projects that have been identified,
prioritized and documented by the Local Mitigation Strategy (LMS) Working Group as well as the
projects submitted under the Flood Mitigation Assistance Program (FMAP), Repetitive Flood Claims
and Severe Repetitive Loss Programs.
Pre-Disaster Mitigation Funding
KNOWN CHANGES TO FEDERAL FUNDING
The Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012, found in H.R. 4348, consolidates three of the
NFIP funded mitigation programs described below into a single program. The combined “National
Flood Mitigation Fund” is to be funded at $90 million per year. While the old FMA and pilot SRL
program were funded annually at up to $40 million per year each, and the RFC program at up to $10
million annually, the SRL program was never fully utilized in part due to its complexity. The new
program simplifies and combines the three previous programs and includes the following elements:
Encourages flood mitigation planning to be integrated into a community’s multi-hazard
mitigation plan
Adds demolition/ rebuild (mitigation reconstruction) as an allowed mitigation activity under
all programs
Caps the use of mitigation grant funds for mitigation planning activities at $50,000 (states)
and $25,000 (communities)
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Appendix 11 Page 11- 2
Provides for denial of grant funds if not fully obligated in five years
Restructures federal share requirement:
o Up to 100 percent for severe repetitive loss structures (four or more claims of over
$5000 or two or more claims exceeding value of structure)
o Up to 90 percent for repetitive loss structures (two claims over a 10 year period
averaging at least 25 percent of value of structure)
o Up to 75 percent for other approved mitigation activities.
For more information, see the State of Florida Enhanced Hazard Mitigation Strategy (2013).

NATIONAL FLOOD INSURANCE PROGRAM
To enable persons to purchase insurance against physical damage to or loss of buildings and/or
contents therein caused by floods, mudslide (i.e., mudflow), or flood-related erosion, thereby reducing
Federal disaster assistance payments, and to promote wise floodplain management practices in the
Nation’s flood-prone and mudflow-prone areas.

HURRICANE LOSS MITIGATION PROGRAM (HLMP) a.k.a. Residential Construction Mitigation Program (RCMP)
The Residential Construction Mitigation Program (RCMP) receives $10 million annually from the
Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Trust Fund (Ch. 215.559, Florida Statutes). Of annual appropriation of
$10 million, $3 million is directed to retrofitting existing public facilities to enable them to be used as
public shelters, and $7million is allocated as follows:
1) 40 percent, or $2.8 million is used to mitigate future losses for mobile homes;
2) 10 percent, or $700,000, is directed to the Type I Center of the State University System dedicated
to hurricane research - Florida International University;
3) 50 percent, or $3.4 million is directed to programs developed by the department with advice from
the Advisory Council to help prevent or reduce losses or to reduce the cost of rebuilding after a
disaster.

PRE-DISASTER MITIGATION (PDM) COMPETITIVE GRANTS
The PDM program was authorized by Section §203 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and
Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act), as amended by Section §102 of the Disaster Mitigation Act of
2000, to assist communities to implement hazard mitigation programs designed to reduce overall risk
to the population and structures before the next disaster occurs.
Although the PDM program is federally funded, the program is administered through a partnership
arrangement with the Florida Division of Emergency Management. It is their responsibility to:
1) Solicit and review proposals from applicants;
2) Prepare and submit the proposals to FEMA
Use procedures set forth in the National PDM funding guidance; and
3) Manage the PDM program and the funds available under the program.
Eligible projects include:
Acquisition of damaged structures;
Elevation and retrofit of existing structures;
Relocation or demolition of existing structures; and
Minor flood control projects.

BEACH MANAGEMENT FUNDING ASSISTANCE (BMFA) PROGRAM
(Formerly the Beach Erosion Control Program - BECP)
"To develop and implement a long term regional proactive beach management program for the
state of Florida"
Recognizing the importance of the state's beaches, the Florida Legislature in 1986 adopted a posture
of protecting and restoring the state's beaches through a comprehensive beach management planning
program. Under the program, the Department of Environmental Protection’s Division of Water
Resource Management evaluates beach erosion problems throughout the state seeking viable
solutions. The primary vehicle for implementing the beach management planning recommendations
is the Florida Beach Management Funding Assistance Program, which is a program established for the
purpose of working in concert with local, state and federal governmental entities to achieve the
protection, preservation and restoration of the coastal sandy beach resources of the state. Under the
program, financial assistance in an amount up to 50 percent of project costs is available to Florida's
county and municipal governments, community development districts, or special taxing districts for
shore protection and preservation activities located on the Gulf of Mexico, Atlantic Ocean, or Straits of
Florida.
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Appendix 11 Page 11- 4
Eligible activities include beach restoration and nourishment activities, project design and engineering studies, environmental studies and monitoring, inlet management planning, inlet sand transfer, dune restoration and protection activities, and other beach erosion prevention related activities consistent with the adopted Strategic Beach Management Plan. The program is authorized by Section 161.101, Florida Statutes. Since 1998, when the Legislature dedicated a portion of the Ecosystem Management and Restoration Trust Fund for beach management, $541.6 million has been appropriated to cost-share with local governments on local and federally authorized projects, with each level of government contributing about one-third of the cost of the entire program. This has resulted in the restoration and subsequent maintenance of over 226.7 miles, or nearly 57%, of the state’s critically eroded beaches.

FLORIDA HURRICANE CATASTROPHE FUND (FHCF)
The FHCF is a reinsurance program. Insurers that write residential property insurance on structures
and their contents- 259 with more than $900 billion in exposure as of 12/31/2001 - are required to
participate and pay a premium based on their maximum hurricane exposure. Companies can select
three coverage option levels - 45, 75, or 90 percent of covered losses above their retention. The
unrestricted fund balance as of December 31, 2001, was approximately $3.8 million.
Funding Source:
The State Board of Administration invests reimbursement premiums, collected from the participating
insurers selling residential property insurance in Florida, in short-term securities.
The FHCF covers residential structures located in the State of Florida, including appurtenant structures
and their contents. This includes commercial-residential, mobile home, tenants, condominium owners,
and stand-alone inland marine polices. All other commercial property was exempted from the fund
during the 1995 legislative session. Premiums paid by participating insurers into the fund may be
included in policyholder rates the same as the expense of reinsurance. Companies must demonstrate
to the Department of Insurance that there is no overlap between the FHCF premium included in their
rate filing and their Acat load, covering either private reinsurance or catastrophe reserves being set
aside on a taxable basis.
Mitigation Implication:
The FHCF would reduce the long-term economic impacts of hurricanes by maintaining the state’s
property insurance capacity through providing reimbursement to participating insurers for a portion
of catastrophic hurricane losses. Furthermore, the FHCF supports implementation of hurricane
mitigation projects through providing annual funding to the Florida Division of Emergency
Management’s Residential Construction Mitigation Program, as well as other local governments and
state agencies’ programs to reduce potential losses from hurricanes.
Contact Information:
The State Board of Administration administers the FHCF.

Critical Facility Vulnerability Analysis
Specific attention was paid to health care facilities such as hospitals and nursing homes; emergency
response agencies, hazardous materials, mobile home parks, schools and colleges and community
centers. Where possible, communications resources and community infrastructure /utilities such as
water and waste-water facilities were located by latitude and longitude and overlaid on the storm tide
limits map. Each facility has the name, location, lat/long coordinates, description, critical code and
results of the 2010 surge analysis based on the most accurate topographic data and the SLOSH
model.
The Critical Facility Inventory (Database) includes a comprehensive list of critical facilities identified by
the State and County Emergency Management Agencies. This inventory is not published as part of
the report. However, selected facilities which may require evacuation or mitigation are identified in
the tables and maps which follow. The tables indicate vulnerability from storm surge (based on the
SLOSH model), freshwater flooding (based on the FEMA Flood Maps) and wildfire (Wildfire
Interface/Levels of Concern).
The illustrations below identify the potential storm surge heights on county landmarks. These
illustrations are provided for public information purposes only.

APPENDIX 13: FLOOD MANAGEMENT
PROGRAMS AND REPETITIVE LOSS
PROPERTY INVENTORY
Overview
In addition to the potential for injury or loss of life from
coastal or inland flooding is potential property loss. The
National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) was created to
provide home and business owners with property insurance
against the flood hazard. In order to participate in the NFIP
and provide property owners with the ability to obtain flood
insurance, local governments must adopt key Land
Development Regulations (LDRs) within the floodplain as
well as manage a program designed to minimize the
community’s vulnerability.
FEMA has reported the following statistics with regard to the flood policies within the State of Florida
as compared to other states (http://bsa.nfipstat.fema.gov/reports/1011.htm). These facts show the
overall importance of the NFIP to the state and the level of flooding concern.

As of June 2014, Florida residents purchased 37% of all NFIP policies in the United States. The NFIP
Insurance Report (8/28/2014) is presented in Table 13-2 which provides flood insurance information
for each jurisdiction.
Mitigation programs are working as new buildings are constructed to current codes. The county and
its jurisdictions strive to reduce their vulnerability to flooding through LDRs, code enforcement, and
they actively seek to assist homeowners and businesses elevate or flood proof their structures. Those
communities who choose to do so may include their Floodplain Action Plan and Annual Reports in the
(optional) Appendix 15 of the Local Mitigation Strategy.
Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy
Appendix 13 Page 13- 2
National Flood Insurance Plan Participation
The municipalities participating in the LMS also participate in the NFIP. The specifics vary from
jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Typical plans for NFIP participation are presented below:
Maintenance of the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM). The jurisdictions maintain the most
recent set of FIRM maps so as to be able to provide guidance for construction within the
floodplain. These maps were updated during FEMA’s Map Modernization process. Many
communities link to the FEMA website for digital FIRMs.
Flood Elevation Certificates are filed both electronically and in hard copy.
Continue to provide the Map Determination Service, including the publicizing of the service.
If needed, each community has a designated floodplain manager. Appendix 13
Most communities participate in the Community Rating System (CRS), remain in compliance
through annual CRS recertification and are engaged in no activities designed to lower our CRS
score. Activities include drainage system maintenance, distribution of information on
floodproofing, prohibiting stream dumping, and maintaining a Disaster Response and Recovery
Plan. Enforcement of adopted Land Development Regulations which sets down the standards for
construction or substantial improvement of structures within the floodplain. Also, the jurisdictions have updated their LDRs to conform to recent state changes, CRS Program Best Practices, and
NPDES requirements.
o All construction within the V and A zones must meet NFIP requirements. All development is
regulated with regard to surface water runoff.
o Detention and retention are required to be designed for the 100-year storm unless connected to a conveyance facility.
o Enforces the elevation of all new and substantially improved structures.
o All CRS communities send flood proofing information and insurance information annually
to the residents of each repetitive loss area.
o Maintenance of stormwater systems, including the inspection of privately-owned drainage
systems and remove, or cause to be removed, obstructions in channels or waterways. This
includes routine inspection, removal of debris, repairs, top and slope mowing, and aquatic
maintenance.
o Prohibits stream dumping
o Encourage the elevation/retrofitting of structures to FBC requirements through the
enforcement of the 50% rule, through the distribution of information to repetitive loss
areas and SFHA.
Conservation/ Recreational Opportunities - Open areas are retained for wetland and floodplain
purposes through the use of Land Use designations such as Open Space / Recreation, Conservation
and Preservation land uses. They may be further protected by some communities by dedicating land
in perpetuity to that use for protection of the wetland, floodplain or uplands.
Community assistance and outreach. The jurisdictions provide community assistance in many
forms, including providing information on the FIRM and flood zones, maintaining a Flood Library of
relevant documents at the local libraries, and making disaster preparedness documents available
online. Websites link to the county emergency management site for a mitigation / preparedness
video library and additional information. It also includes the annual mail-out of flood proofing
information to the residents of each repetitive loss area as well as providing flood information to
banks, lending institutions, etc.

Community Rating System (CRS) Programs
Because flooding – both coastal and inland flooding – is considered the most critical hazard
facing the county, all jurisdictions participate in the NFIP and have a floodplain management
program. Many of the communities also participate in the Community Rating System (CRS) and
strive to reduce the risk in their communities.
CRS provides flood insurance premium discounts to NFIP-participating communities that take
extra measures to manage floodplains above the minimum requirements. A point system is used
to determine a CRS rating from 10 to 1, with lower scores indicating better ratings. A community
that does not participate in CRS or that does not maintain the minimum number of credit points
would be considered a Class 10 community. The more measures a community takes to minimize
or eliminate exposure to floods, the more CRS points are awarded, the lower their CRS Class
Rating and the higher the discount on flood insurance premiums. A list of CRS communities is
available on FEMA’s Web site at http://www.fema.gov/library/viewRecord.do?id=3629 (FEMA,
2012b). The unincorporated areas of Pinellas County and most of the incorporated communities
participate in the CRS program. CRS class ratings for each of these communities are shown in
Table 13-3.

Managing Repetitive Loss Properties
One of the key elements in a floodplain management plan is the mitigation of repetitive loss
properties. A repetitive loss property is defined as property for which two or more losses of at
least $1,000 each have been paid by the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) over a rolling
10- year period.
Pinellas County has 7% of all the NFIP policies in the state with 15% of the total number of
repetitive loss structures in the state. This illustrates that Pinellas County is very vulnerable to
coastal and inland flooding and that most residents and businesses in the floodplain purchase
flood insurance.
The distribution of the structures by jurisdiction is presented in Table 13-3. The list of the
repetitive loss properties is not available in documents for public review because of security
and privacy regulations. The Repetitive Loss Inventory is for official use only (FOUO) and was
provided on CD to the official local jurisdiction representative on the LMS.
The areas with the highest number of repetitive loss locations are the geographic areas with the
highest historic flooding. These include the barrier island communities and along the Intra Coastal
Waterway, the historic area in Tarpon Springs, the Gandy and Shore Acres communities in the City
of St. Petersburg. (See Map 13-1).
The location of specific areas in the community where flooding continues to be a problem allow
planners to identify where mitigation efforts should be concentrated. For many of these areas,
mitigation will involve significant property owner investment and will probably be delayed until
redevelopment/ reconstruction occurs. New construction or significant remodeling will require
adherence to current floodplain management regulations will be enforced.

APPENDIX 14: COUNTY AND MUNICIPAL RESOLUTIONS ADOPTING THE
PINELLAS COUNTY LOCAL MITIGATION STRATEGY
Overview of the Adoption Process for the LMS
Federal law 44 CFR §201.6(c)(5) requires all
participating jurisdictions to adopt the Local
Mitigation Strategy (LMS). This ensures that all
jurisdictions share in the county-wide vision of
building a safer and more resilient community and
embrace the goals, objectives and action plan for
the County. Adoption by each local government
also ensures that the citizenry has had the
opportunity to review the document as it was
drafted and provide input prior to adoption
through the formal process of public workshops
and hearings (Florida Chapter 163. F. S.).
Many communities have elected to adopt the LMS as their Floodplain Management Plan. In
order to address any jurisdiction-specific issues or Community Rating System (CRS)
requirements outside of the scope of the countywide LMS, the Floodplain Management Action
Plan and Annual Report are adopted as the Appendix 15 by those jurisdictions.

APPENDIX 15: LOCAL FLOODPLAIN MANAGEMENT ACTION PLAN
The Community Rating System (CRS) is part of the National
Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Local governments
participating in the CRS go beyond the minimum standards
for floodplain management. By performing tasks and
services that further reduce the effects of the flooding
hazard; these communities are rewarded with discounts on
flood insurance premiums for residents and businesses.
A community can voluntarily develop and adopt a
floodplain management plan (FMP) in order to improve its
CRS rating. When a community exceeds nine repetitive loss properties (a repetitive loss property is
one for which two or more claims of more than $1000 have been paid by the NFIP within any ten-
year period since 1978), such an FMP is required. An FMP is similar to a Local Mitigation Strategy in
that both must follow certain steps, including involving other agencies during the planning process,
developing a risk assessment, putting together a mitigation strategy, adopting the plan and then
maintaining it. FEMA “encourages jurisdictions to integrate the CRS planning steps into their multi-
hazard mitigation plans.”
While a multi-hazard mitigation plan such as this one that addresses floods could qualify for
possible activities and drafting an action plan. These two undertakings have resulted in analyses
and responses that are unique to the communities undertaking them. Presented here are the
mitigation strategies and the action plans for those communities who have chosen to perform these
additional activities.

SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Accept deed transferring real property located at 1002 LaSalle Street from Clearwater
Neighborhood Housing Services, Inc. to the City of Clearwater and adopt Resolution 15-11.
SUMMARY:
Clearwater Neighborhood Housing Services, Inc. (CNHS), a non-profit corporation located in
the North Greenwood area and serving the Tampa Bay area, has requested the City accept
the deed transferring a vacant lot located at 1002 LaSalle Street in the North Greenwood
neighborhood.
As background, the City established the Challenge Infill Housing Program in 1996. The
program was established to provide loans to low and moderate-income families to obtain
affordable housing. Through a partnership with CNHS, the City established a revolving loan
program to provide funds for the development or purchase of existing housing. CNHS
generated revenues through the sale of the homes that was sold to these families and utilized
this funding to purchase the vacant lot in 2006 for $43,000 at the height of the real estate
market. The Pinellas County Property Appraiser’s office has the value of the lot currently listed
at $2,255. Due to the downturn in the real estate market, CNHS has been unable develop the
lot for affordable housing.
The lot is located between two existing residential properties that have been cited for code
violations and have required additional police presence. With city ownership of the lot, Police,
Code Enforcement and the Housing Division will be able to work collaboratively to address
specific community concerns regarding this vacant lot.
Staff recommends accepting the deed for future development of affordable housing.
Accepting this property will enable the city to foster its efforts of providing affordable housing
in North Greenwood, a Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area. The intent is to convey the
property to a housing developer to build a single-family home on the vacant lot, thereby
placing a structure that will improve the area and show reinvestment in the community.

Toward that end, the Economic Development and Housing Department (ED&H) began
working with the Clearwater Regional Chamber of Commerce (Chamber) in January 2014 to
explore the feasibility of jointly developing a business resource center in Clearwater. The
Chamber and ED&H evaluated and/or toured nine Tampa Bay and Orlando area facilities and
their program and service offerings. Staff also conducted an inventory of existing
organizations and the programs/services provided to entrepreneurs and small businesses.
In June 2014, the Urban Land Institute Advisory Services Panel (ULI) recommended 1) more
active uses of the Clearwater Main Library, and 2) that support should be provided to new
entrepreneurial small businesses by investing in a technology innovation center or business
incubator. ULI recommendations supported and encouraged the expansion of economic
development activities underway.
By August 2014, Steve Allen (Founder and CEO of iDatix Corporation - an IT/Software firm,
and member of the City’s Tech Council), began the development of the Technical Arts Facility
for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (TAFFIE), a private business incubation and co-worker
facility.
The convergence of these public and private efforts and the analysis of the information
obtained during nine months of evaluation concluded that, for the most part, existing
organizations in the city, county, and region are offering programs and services that meet the
need of entrepreneurs and small businesses located in Clearwater. However, there is a clear
need for a collaborative and coordinated approach for the marketing and delivery of these
services.
Therefore, in November 2014, the Chamber, TAFFIE, the Small Business Development
Center of Pinellas County (SBDC), ED&H and Clearwater Main Library began to work together
toward creating the consortium now called “Clearwater Business SPARK!” The Community
Redevelopment Agency (CRA) has subsequently joined the consortium due to the emphasis
on the downtown and the East Gateway Tech District and support and growth of this
workforce.
The initial phase of the Clearwater Business SPARK! was to develop an MOU, a non-binding
Page 1 City of Clearwater Printed on 5/6/2015
File Number: ID#15-1238
agreement, which details the spirit and intent of the consortium and the roles and
responsibilities of the partners. Staff recommends approval of the MOU in order to show the
City’s and CRA commitment to moving forward with the goals and objectives outlined in the
ED Strategic Plan and ULI Report.
MOU Summary
As described within the MOU, the partners recognize there is strong interest in the greater
Clearwater community for new, small business and entrepreneurial development programs
and that the strength and areas of expertise each partner provides will together achieve the
shared goal of helping this sector of our economy in Clearwater.
Toward that end, the partners desire to work collaboratively and continuously to provide
entrepreneurs, innovators, creators and small business owners with a wide variety of
programs, services, education, networking opportunities, and flexible and creative workplaces
and spaces, and to achieve sustainability within three years of the date of the MOU through a
combination of fee-based programs and services, sponsorship, and grants which may be
pursued. Exhibit A shows a sampling of the proposed offerings each partner brings to the
consortium.
At the onset, ED&H will coordinate and facilitate partner meetings. Together, the partners will
1) provide networking opportunities throughout the greater Clearwater area, 2) host and/or
participate in events and meet-ups, 3) work together to develop a comprehensive mix of
services and facility offerings targeting technology innovation and creative enterprises, 4)
promote the availability of programs and services, 5) strive to adopt and adapt programs and
services to meet the changing needs of those seeking services, 6) make appropriate referrals
to program partners, facilities, or services, 7) provide appropriate training of staff who may
from time to time engage individuals who seek or need services provided by one or more of
the partners, 8) actively and continuously seek additional partners to join Clearwater Business
SPARK!, and 9) jointly establish protocols, common intake processes, performance goals and
measures. Additionally, the partners will convene annually to establish a work program,
identify resources necessary to sustain Clearwater Business SPARK! and to prepare a budget
including in-kind and financial resources necessary to support marketing, programs, and
activities of Clearwater Business SPARK!
Requests for City and/or CRA financial support of Clearwater Business SPARK! will be
presented in separate agenda item(s) at a future date. It is expected that such funding
request(s) will be for marketing and promotion activities of Clearwater Business SPARK!,
enhanced services provided by SBDC of Pinellas, and payment of fees for programs or
services that provide clear evidence of public benefit. On a going forward basis, the City’s
financial participation will be considered as a part of the annual budget process. Requests for
funds will be submitted annually according to the budget schedule, and is subject to City
Council and/or CRA approval.
Representatives of the member organizations in the consortium will be present at the CRA
meeting to answer any questions.

About Us
The James J. Hill Center is a non-profit business center, located in Saint Paul, Minnesota.
The iconic entrepreneur James J. Hill had a vision to provide the people of Minnesota with
a Reference Library to support and grow cultural and economic development in the state.
The James J. Hill Reference Library opened its doors in 1921. Today we are known as the
James J. Hill Center. We continue to house a world-class collection of practical business
information resources which is considered one of the most comprehensive business
libraries in the country. And our Librarians are ready to assist visitors with research
through our books and online databases.
At its core a library represents the best of democratic ideals. It is an icon of a free society
where all citizens can gather, access and exchange information freely.
At the James J. Hill Center our focus is centered on business, leadership and
entrepreneurship, and at the heart of those three endeavors rest the concepts of
community and optimism that are essential to the success of any idea.
As technology has changed our traditional means of engagement, namely the book, our
purpose as an institution has been clarified around not how we engage but where. In the
entrepreneurial spirit of our namesake we have committed ourselves to redefining the
notion of what it means to be a library; to change from an institution that allowed
connections to happen to an institution that actively enables and fosters connections
across the broad spectrum that is an economy.
We commit ourselves and our resources to being an iconic place to learn, convene and
connect in – the community, business, the arts, technology, innovation and celebration.
Our goal is to provide relevance to our community and to build sustainable and lasting
relationships that enable entrepreneurial activities and economic prosperity by
encouraging the exchange of ideas and the pursuit of solutions.

[GM15-9216D-026/166157/1]
[GM15-9216D-026/165446/1]Page 5 of 12
matter experts, 5) promotion and marketing of the consortium through
presentations, press releases, newsletters, social media and other forms
of communication.
Section 8. The Partners recognize the following as definitions of commonly used terms:
(a) Business Incubator
i.An organization designed to accelerate the growth and success of
entrepreneurial companies through an array of business support
resources and services that could include physical space, capital,
coaching, common services, and networking connections. The intent is to
help small companies in the incubator have a better chance of survival
throughout the start-up phase. Services may include, but are not limited
to: 1) office space (usually at a reduced rate); 2) office services (e.g.
receptionist, conference rooms, computers, office equipment, other); 3)
entrepreneurial advice and mentoring (e.g. establishing a web presence,
identifying intellectual property licensing opportunities, raising capital); 4)
business planning and market adjustment consulting; and 5) contacts and
networking providing access to experienced entrepreneurs, innovators
and professionals who can answer questions, provide guidance and
resources.
(b) Business Accelerator
i.Very similar to an incubator, but differs in that an accelerator usually has a
greater focus on companies entering or growing in a national or global
market. Business accelerators are more likely to be financed by venture
capitalists looking for an opportunity to finance growth potential through
defined action plans.
(c) Co-Worker Space
i.Co-worker space is an alternative way of working in which independent
professionals, telecommuters, and others with workplace flexibility share
one working environment, rather than work remotely in separate offices or
places. Co-workers typically do not need to work for the same employer or
even know each other to work together in a co-working environment. A co-
worker space is often a cafe-like collaboration space, gallery, or
productivity-enhancing multi-functional space, with the idea that individual
workers come together in a shared place to enjoy greater productivity and
a sense of community.
(d) Makerspace
i.Makerspaces, also referred to as hackerspaces, hackspaces, and fablabs,
are creative, community-operated DIY spaces where people can gather to
create, invent, and learn often in the areas of computers, machining,
[GM15-9216D-026/166157/1]
[GM15-9216D-026/165446/1]Page 6 of 12
technology, science, digital or electronic art. Commonly used equipment
includes 3D printers, software, electronics, craft and hardware
supplies/tools.
(e) Pre-Venture Individuals
i.Pre-venture individuals, as defined by FSBDC, are those individuals
exploring business feasibility and seeking assistance with the
establishment of a new business. These individuals have no employees,
no sales and have not secured financing for their new venture.
(f) Start-up Businesses
i.Start-up businesses, as defined by FSBDC, are new businesses, but not
necessarily a new type of business, in business for less than three years.
Start-up businesses are defined by the length of time they have been in
business (established) and not by the size of their employment or
revenues. Start-up businesses are generally in the phase of development
with prospect for growth.
(g) Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs), as defined by FSBDC
i.Stage I - emerging businesses in business for three of more years with
fewer than five FTE (Full Time Employees) or less than $1M in annual
sales revenue. Stage I SMEs are emerging businesses beyond the phase
of development with promise for growth in both employment and
revenues.
ii.Stage II - established businesses that have been in-business for three or
more years and have five or more FTE employees and/or more than $1M
in annual sales revenue. Stage II SMEs have demonstrated an ability to
generate significant revenue in their respective industry or market over an
extended period of time with the ability and capacity for continuous
growth.
Section 9. Acceptance
(a) The Partners agree to the spirit and intent of this memorandum of understanding
and believe it offers the Clearwater area with a new environment for
entrepreneurial and small business development and support.
(b) The Partners agree to strive to work together as described in Sections 1 through
7.
