X - OTHER ITEMS ON CITY MANAGER REPORT ITEM #33 - Preliminary Subdivision Plat/Final Site Plan for Lokey Motors Used Cars, located at 2355 Gulf-to-Bay, M&B31.04 (The Bank, Florida Bank of Commerce)(PLD) On January 4, 1990, the City Commission reviewed the preliminary subdivision plat for Lokey Oldsmobile Used Cars which includes the existing financial development known as The Bank, Florida Bank of Commerce site, and authorized final action by the Development Review Committee (DRC) subject to conditions. The fifth condition reads: "There shall be only one joint point of access for this subdivision plat. The other existing driveways shall be removed and replaced with appropriate landscaping, sidewalks and street curbing in accordance with City standards prior to recordation of the final plat." The subject condition was recommended as the plat indicated one joint point of access for the two lots with proposed closure of the existing westerly driveway for the new Lokey Used Car development. At the January 11, 1991 DRC meeting, the applicant expressed the desire to maintain the existing easterly driveway which is primarily an egress point for the bank's drive-through facilities and the angled parking in front of the building. The DRC felt this would meet the intent of the action by the City Commission to reduce and limit the number of driveways, if after further review of the situation, the Traffic Engineer determined that it should not be closed. This matter has been studied by Traffic Engineering who strongly recommended this existing easterly driveway remain open, as its closure would create a disorderly vehicular flow on the site, perhaps even resulting in unsafe conditions due to the existing bank development. Further, Traffic Engineering feels that the closure of the easterly driveway would result in an undue hardship on the existing bank development. Traffic Engineering recommends that the joint point of access still be permitted as the easterly driveway would not be suitable to serve as the sole access point for one or both lots due to its location relative to existing and proposed vehicular flow. James Polatty, Planning and Development Director, stated staff supports the applicant's request. He indicated there are currently three driveways and, after development, two driveways will remain with the westernmost being replaced with landscaping. He distributed recommended rewording of condition #5 and a recommended additional condition #6. Commissioner Regulski moved to approve the new conditions #5 and #6 for the preliminary subdivision plat and final site plan for Lokey Motors Used Cars as follows: (5) There shall be only two points of access for this subdivision plat, these being the proposed joint ingress/egress point located between the two proposed lots and the eastern egress driveway associated with the bank traffic. The other existing driveways shall be removed and replaced with appropriate landscaping, sidewalks and street curbing in accordance with City standards prior to the recordation of the final plat; and 6) The preliminary plat and final site plan shall be certified by February 4, 1991 and landscaping in accordance with the certified plan shall be installed no later than April 4, 1991, and authorize final action by the DRC. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously. ITEM #34 - Lease Agreement with Pinellas Community Center, Inc. - Cancellation of lease agreement with Clearwater Youth Recreation Center, Inc. (formerly The Center Foundation) (CM) The recreational development, commonly known as the Center Foundation, has undergone a series of expansions and evolutions since the City entered into a lease agreement with the Clearwater Youth Recreation Center, Inc. in December 1986. The purpose of that lease was to allow on City-owned property, the "building and operating (of) a facility for public recreational and educational programs, and to maintain the property as a park to be open and accessible to the public in a manner generally consistent with the operation of City public parks, subject to reasonable rules and regulations as may be established from time to time by the Board of Trustees of the Foundation ..." The City property, valued at $1.5 million, is leased to the Center for $1 per year. In addition, the City has contributed $750,000 to date in cash and, subject to the appropriation process, anticipates an additional $250,000 contribution in the next fiscal year. The 15.5 acre facility includes an olympic-sized indoor pool, a therapeutic pool, a 15,000 square foot gymnasium, various fitness rooms, locker rooms, training rooms, administrative offices, outdoor ballfields and a 75,000 square foot office, education and training facility for the Upper Pinellas Association for Retarded Citizens (UPARC). When the City entered into the lease agreement with the Center, the three partners, or participating agencies in the development of the facility were the City, UPARC and Clearwater for Youth, Inc. The lease was for a period of at least 15 years, possibly 25 years and perhaps for 99 years, if approved by the electorate. At the end of the lease period, the facilities are to be owned by the City. Under the present lease agreement, the facility is managed by a Board of Trustees appointed by the three participating agencies and a lesser number of members appointed at large by the Trustees. It was initially conceived that the Center would operate at no cost with a restricted endowment fund providing the majority of the operating capital. Realizing there might not be sufficient money in the endowment fund, the lease agreement allowed, "in the event the Foundation experiences a shortfall in monies available for maintenance and operation, the Board of Trustees may deem it necessary that rental or utility charges be paid by the Participating Agencies." Participating agencies are allowed to charge user fees, non-resident user fees and other fees for programs conducted by the participating agency. The Center is the landlord managing the facility and paying for the cost of operations, utilities and maintenance. The participating agencies are the tenants paying discounted rent for use of the facilities. Discounted rent means that portion of the operating costs not paid by the endowment. The estimated budget of the facility, excluding the 75,000 square feet of buildings and adjoining grounds operated by UPARC, is $706,400. UPARC pays its share of utilities and other costs outside of the budget. The Trustees expect to receive $706,400 in revenues from three primary sources -- the endowment fund, memberships and rental fees paid by the participating agencies. In the 1990/91 fiscal year, the endowment is budgeted to produce $200,000 (plus $45,810 one time contribution) and approximately $156,640 is expected to be received from memberships leaving a balance of about $303,950 to come from the participating agencies. At the April 5, 1990 City Commission meeting, the Commission unanimously agreed to allow three new participating agencies to become "partners" in the project. The new lease agreement will replace the existing 1986 lease and contains a number of significant points, including: 1) The term of the lease is 15 years, unless extended by referendum; 2) The Center will be managed by a Board of Directors, consisting of 18 members, two of which are appointed by the City; 3) The City of Safety Harbor and the Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA) are included as additional sponsoring agencies. St. Petersburg Junior College, the third potential additional sponsoring agency, will not be included; 4) The Center is responsible for all costs of operation, maintenance and repair of the project. Sponsoring agencies may be assessed for rental or utility charges if the "Center experiences a shortfall in monies available for maintenance and operation."; and 5) Each sponsoring agency will pay a fair and proportionate share of the costs of operation, maintenance and repair of the project based on a cost sharing distribution formula developed by the Board of Directors, but subject to the approval of the City Commission. Assistant City Manager Michael Wright stated key points in the new agreement include that the Board of Trustees cannot be increased without Commission approval, that the sponsoring agencies have priority in program scheduling and that the cost distribution of the participating agencies is subject to Commission approval. In response to a question, it was indicated the proposed agreement would be in the name of Pinellas Community Center, Inc. Mr. Wright said this agreement would allow for additional agencies to participate and spells out the relationship between the City, the sponsoring agencies and other agencies. Discussion ensued in regard to use of the facility by the participating agencies and it was indicated each agency's fees for succeeding years would be based on the previous year's actual usage. Considerable discussion took place and concerns were expressed regarding the term of the new lease being 15 years from approval not taking into account the 5 years the current agreement has been effect, that the City of Clearwater needs greater representation on the Board of Directors and that the endowment would not remain with the Center should the City take over the operation. Other major points of concern were, when the City entered into the agreement, it was their understanding the Center's operation would be without cost to the City; and if the City takes over the operation, would it be debt free. The City Attorney suggested amending the agreement by adding language to address the concern regarding encumbrance of the property. He said it would be difficult to separate the improvements from the land and there would still be no assurance it would be debt free. Fred Fisher, Long Center Chairman Emeritus, said it was always his understanding the property could not be encumbered. The original endowment was created by him and has increased to $2 million. This endowment is to help pay for operating and maintenance costs of the Center. He wants the Fisher endowment to remain in the private sector and that any new endowments would stay with the Center. In response to a question, he indicated there is $100,000 above the initial contribution in the Fisher endowment. Presently, funds are being collected for the facility's operation and all previous donations went toward construction. Discussion ensued in regard to what would happen if the City terminates the agreement and it was indicated the Center is entitled to just compensation for its investment and relocation expenses. Mr. Wright indicated staff would verify that the property was debt free. He said the Center is a unique facility that the City will eventually own. He felt the new agreement was better than the existing one and gives the City strong financial control and limits liability. Discussion ensued in regard to the 1986 agreement and the intent of the endowment and the City Attorney referred to language on page 5, paragraph 13, in the original agreement that contemplates there may not be sufficient money in the endowment to cover all expenses. Concern was expressed that letting in other agencies would reduce the number of City programs. Mr. Wright said there had been scheduling problems but the real problem was peak hour usage. Mr. Fisher indicated there was a good mix of sponsoring agencies using the facility with the City of Clearwater presently having approximately 85 percent usage. Commissioner Nunamaker moved to accept the agreement as amended on page 3, paragraph 6, line 4, after the words "leased property" insert the words "the improvements thereto, or this lease or any interest thereunder;" on page 4,line 4, add the words "of Greater Clearwater" after the words "Young Woman's Christian Association;" and on page 4, paragraph 10, line 8, delete the word "equally". There was no second. Discussion ensued in regard to the Commission's preference for greater City representation on the Board of Trustees. It was indicated the same board members serve on both the Long Center and the Pinellas Community Center, Inc. A request was made that the names of the Board of Trustees and who appointed them be submitted to the Commission. Staff was requested to research all previous minutes, documents, tapes, etc. pertaining to the Center Foundation regarding encumbrances, Board of Trustees and the intent of the endowment. Commissioner Fitzgerald moved to continue this item for staff to resolve some of the questions raised by the Commission. The motion was duly seconded and upon the vote being taken, Commissioners Regulski, Nunamaker, Fitzgerald and Berfield voted "aye"; Mayor Garvey voted "nay". Motion carried. ITEM #35 - Financial Status of The Long Center (formerly The Center Foundation). (CM) Assistant City Manager Michael Wright requested this item be continued so that it may be considered along with the lease agreement. Commissioner Berfield moved to continue this item. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously. The meeting recessed from 8:15 p.m. to 8:29 p.m. ITEM #36 - January 1, 1990 Actuarial Report for the City Employees' Pension Plan prepared by Coopers & Lybrand - contribution of $3,936,720.00 for FY 91 (AS) Due to the recent volatility in the calculated contribution requirement, and the uncertainty surrounding the value of our equity investments as of January 1, 1991, the actuary has suggested that staff consider a contribution in excess of the required minimum contribution of $3,071,590.00. Staff is in full agreement with this suggestion, and our recommended contribution of $3,936,720.00 is the amount which is included in the 1991 budget. The $865,130.00 by which this contribution exceeds the required minimum will create a plan "credit" which can be used, dollar for dollar, to reduce any subsequent year's contribution at the discretion of the City Commission. This "credit" will be accounted for separately in subsequent valuations until the City elects to apply it. It is the intent to use this credit, as necessary, to limit future budgetary increases in the pension contribution to reasonable and predictable percentages. This year's required contribution of $3,071,590.00 represents a significant and unexpected drop from last year's required contribution of $3,633,616.00. While the actuary attributes this drop to extraordinary asset returns, it does not conflict with the hypothesis that last year's data did contain a yet to be discovered anomaly. Staff continues to be concerned about the potential long range impact of disability pensions, the incidence of which continues to exceed actuarial expectations. Of the 65 active job connected disability pensions, 10 were granted in the most recent fiscal year. Because of increasing salary scales, these 10 represent approximately 22% of the total annual benefit payments for job connected disabilities. If current incidence rates continue indefinitely, this could cause a significant adverse impact on future funding requirements. Because of all these uncertainties, staff believe the excess contribution recommended is a prudent and responsible approach which should provide a cushion against future volatility in the required annual contribution. Concern was expressed regarding the long range impact of disability pensions, primarily Police and Fire. It was noted the 20 percent gain on equities was for the year 1989. It is questionable if the City held even for 1990. Commissioner Regulski moved to accept the January 1, 1990 actuarial report for the City Employees' Pension Plan prepared by Coopers & Lybrand and approve a contribution of $3,936,720 for fiscal year 1991 and that the appropriate officials be authorized to execute same. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously. ITEM #37 - Library Board - 1 appointment (CLK) Commissioner Fitzgerald moved to appoint Wilbert M. Bacon II. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously. XI - Other Pending Matters - none. CITY ATTORNEY REPORTS XII - Resolutions ITEM #38 - Resolution #90-55 - Assessing property owners the costs of mowing or clearing owners' lot The City Attorney presented Resolution #90-55 and read it by title only. Commissioner Berfield moved to pass and adopt Resolution #90-55 and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same. The motion was duly seconded and upon roll call, the vote was: "Ayes": Regulski, Nunamaker, Fitzgerald, Berfield and Garvey. "Nays": None. XIII - Other City Attorney Items The City Attorney reported the quarterly litigation update would be distributed Friday, January 4, 1991. XIV - City Manager Verbal Reports - none. XV - Other Commission Action Commissioner Nunamaker reported Bobby Byrd's company will be cleaning the Memorial Causeway in preparation for Super Bowl Sunday. He encouraged other businesses to participate in "sprucing up" the City for Super Bowl Weekend. Mayor Garvey announced the Tampa Bay Super Run will be held January 27, 1991. She expressed concern regarding one of the Budget Advisory Committee members missing the last four meetings and requested the appointing Commissioner look into this. She requested businesses to stop using envelopes with plastic windows as it presents a recycling problem and that people become more aware of water restrictions and make an effort to conserve. It was announced that due to work on a pipeline, starting Sunday, there will be a two week ban on all outdoor water uses. This will not apply to those with private wells. The City Attorney requested permission to draft a letter for the Mayor's signature commending and encouraging Governor-elect Chiles' statement that he would be looking to re-establish good relationships with local governments. Consensus of the Commission was to approve. XVI - Adjournment The meeting adjourned at 8:41 p.m.
