The portions of the complete plan document requiring approval action by the City Commission include the goals, objectives and policies; requirements for capital improvements implementation; procedures for monitoring and evaluation and maps showing future conditions. Paula Harvey, Planning Director, pointed out that there are two parts submitted which will not be part of the adopting ordinance: (1) the Evaluation & Appraisal Report, a review of the existing plan and the various elements that have been adopted since 1979; and (2) the Citizens' Participation Plan which identifies how citizens have been included in the process. A draft of the Goals, Objectives, and Policies has been submitted and reviewed at the Work Session by the City Commission. The draft is on file in the City Clerk's Department. Recommended changes based on City Commission direction, Planning & Zoning recommendations, and staff input are attached hereto as Exhibit A, and as such, made a part of the minutes. The Planning Director reviewed each element and the recommended changes. Commission consensus for each element is as follows: Future Land Use Element. Consensus to make recommended changes. Traffic Circulation Element. Discussion ensued regarding the value of the STA designation for U. S. 19/S.R. 60 and it was stated the advantage of the STA designation would be to set a level of service more comparable to what the level will be in 5 years. Consensus to make recommended changes. Mass Transit Element. Consensus to make recommended changes. Aviation Element. Discussion ensued regarding the airpark noise levels not being anticipated as incompatible with the surrounding neighborhood based on the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)'s official land use guidance. It was indicated that the City will be mitigating with FAA to find an acceptable standard. It was requested this be considered at the next work session. In response to questions, it was indicated that no commitment has been made in regard to extending the operating hours of the airpark or continuing to operate as a leased facility. A request was made that Policy 11.2.2 be reviewed at the next meeting. Consensus to make recommended changes with review of the above. Housing Element. In response to a question, Jeff Pruitt, Planner II, defined "neighborhood preservation scale" as the criteria to be used in rating a specific community to come up with a special strategy in order to prioritize neighborhood needs. Consensus to make recommended changes. Utilities Element: Sanitary Sewer. Consensus to make recommended changes. Solid Waste. Consensus to make recommended changes. Drainage. Consensus to make recommended changes. Potable Water. The Mayor requested that a policy be added regarding the educating of citizens regarding the needs and opportunities for conserving potable water. In response to a question regarding "gray water" exceptions, the Planning Director indicated that by 1991 the particular land uses being exempt would be identified. Consensus to make recommended changes, also adding a policy regarding educating the public. Coastal Management Element. A revised policy is being recommended that would allow rebuilding to existing densities should buildings be destroyed by disaster. In response to a question, the Planning Director indicated that rebuilding would have to be in accordance with the Land Development Code. There was objection to the use of the word "stagnation" in regard to the tourist industry and a suggested change was "need of revitalization." Discussion ensued regarding post disaster redevelopment, and in response to a question, it was indicated that the grandfathering provisions apply throughout the City not only in the coastal zone. Discussion ensued regarding Objective 19.2 which states no new development or substantial redevelopment will be allowed in coastal high hazard areas. There was concern that this would conflict with the policy regarding grandfathering densities and would not allow rebuilding of the Clearwater Pass Bridge. Four citizens spoke in regard to this element expressing concerns regarding Objective 21.5 not allowing storm damage to be considered in granting variances; the dredging of Dunedin Pass (one opposed, one supported); Objective 19.3 requiring additional on street parking on N Clearwater Beach; and an appearance that commercial and tourist development will be given priority over residential development. Discussion ensued regarding these issues and it was stated that access to the beach is required in order to renourish N Clearwater Beach. It was also reported that the State plan views increased residential development in coastal zones as an adverse impact on the ability to evacuate when necessary. Consensus to make recommended changes with review of use of the word "stagnation" in the 3rd paragraph of Needs Summary and Objectives 19.2, 21.5, 19.3, and 21.3. The meeting recessed from 8:35 P.M. to 8:50 P.M. Conservation Element. A citizen spoke in support of the Conservation Element urging its acceptance particularly the part referencing wetlands and also urged the inclusion of a section under air quality requiring installation of CFC-12 recycling units. It was indicated that CFC's are not part of air quality but part of the ozone layer protection. Concerns were also expressed that this needed to be a statewide or area wide issue. The Planning Director indicated she would investigate how this issue had been addressed by the Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council. Consensus to make recommended changes. Recreation/Open Space Element. Consensus to make recommended changes. Intergovernmental Coordination Element. Consensus to make recommended changes. Capital Improvement Element. The City Manager recommended retaining a stormwater utility fee in Policy 28.1.6 leaving the City's options open so as not to cause increased taxes. Consensus to make recommended changes. The Planning Director, extended special recognition to Chris Papandreas, Jeff Pruitt, and Lou Hilton for their help in coordinating the Comprehensive Plan. The Mayor extended the Commission's appreciation to the citizens of Clearwater for their input. The City Attorney indicated that another public hearing will be held on May 18, 1989.

(CM) After lengthy bargaining beginning in July, 1988, the City and the IAFF reached impasse on November 30, 1988.

Addition of a "drug testing" provision, incorporating the concept of "reasonable suspicion"; 2. Addition of a "no smoking" prohibition, on or off the job, for new hires (those hired after 12/15/88).

Interchange at a cost of $199,000. (PW) Pinellas County plans to build an interchange at Tampa and McMullen Booth Roads including a bridge across the Tarpon Outfall Canal. This is an area where the City plans to install gas lines within the next one to two years. The plan is to hang the gas main on the bridge, saving the City the expense of a subaqueous crossing (the last such crossing cost $137,840). Also, it is expected to be less expensive to install the gas line while the approaching road is under construction than to wait until after the project is complete. The total cost of the project would be $199,000 (including materials cost of $52,984 and Pinellas County construction cost of $146,016). The proposal is to install a 4" polyethylene gas main along Tampa Road and East Lake Road to provide gas service to a newly-planned shopping center and residential subdivision on the northwest corner; and a 2" polyethylene gas main along Tampa Road to provide an alternate gas feed to Oldsmar. Installing the gas main under the Pinellas County contract will save having to coordinate with the prime contractor, as well as saving the City survey and restoration, which would have to be performed to meet the prime contractor's schedule. The funding source would be System Completion Funds of the Bond Issue. Commissioner Winner moved to pass and adopt Resolution 89-22 regarding a joint public works contract with Pinellas County to install a total of 10,158 feet of gas line at a cost of $199,000 and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same. Motion was duly seconded. Upon roll call the vote was: "Ayes": Regulski, Winner, Nunamaker, Fitzgerald and Garvey. "Nays": None. Item #37 - Beautification Committee - Appointments (2 members). (CLK) Commissioner Regulski moved to appoint Faye Sollid. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously. Commissioner Nunamaker moved to appoint Joel William Duling. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously. Item #38 - Library Board - Appointments (3 members). (CLK) Commissioner Regulski moved to reappoint William Donovan. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously. Commissioner Nunamaker moved to appoint Jack Wilson. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously. Commissioner Fitzgerald moved to appoint Dorothea Zona. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously. X - Other Pending Matters - none.

Concern and opposition were expressed regarding adopting this resolution due to the Impact Fee Ordinance being specifically for roads. Commissioner Winner moved to pass and adopt Resolution 89-23 and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same. No second. No action. Item #40 - Resolution 89-24, re PSTA Funding - encouraging continued financial support of public transportation by the United States of America and the State of Florida.

XIV  Verbal Reports The City Manager requested the Commission approve an emergency purchase order for (3) replacement chlorine residual analyzers in the amount of $12,000 enabling the City to meet the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) July 5, 1989, deadline.
