Public Hearings - Not before 6:00 PM 8. Administrative Public Hearings 8.1 Approve the First Amendment to the City of Clearwater's State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Program Local Housing Assistance Plan covering Fiscal Years 2016-2018 and adopt Resolution 17-31. 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 LHAP covers state fiscal years 2016-2018. The LHAP outlines six strategies identified to carry out affordable housing activities through SHIP funding administered by the City of Clearwater: 1) New Construction; 2) Acquisition of Existing Homes with Rehabilitation; 3) Down Payment and Closing Costs Assistance for Existing Homes without Rehabilitation; 4) Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation; 5) Multi-Family Housing; and 6) Disaster Mitigation. The First Amendment to the current LHAP (Amendment) will amend the following Section II LHAP Strategies: A. New Construction B. Acquisition of Existing Homes with Rehabilitation C. Down Payment and Closing Costs Assistance for Existing Homes without Rehabilitation Within each of the LHAP Strategies above, the following subsections are amended as described: a. Terms of the Award: Establishes the maximum assistance of $22,000 and the maximum loan amount of$20,000 and provides loan repayment deferral for five years and amortization for twenty years for a loan term not to exceed twenty-five years. b. Summary of the Strategy: Removal of the buyer's minimum two Page 5 City of Clearwater City Council Meeting Minutes October 5, 2017 percent contribution of purchase price. Exhibit C: Housing Delivery Goals Chart is also amended to increase the maximum SHIP funding award from Eighteen Thousand dollars ($18,000) to Twenty-Two Thousand dollars ($22,000). These modifications are intended to increase the number of loans provided to qualified individuals by mirroring certain terms and conditions of Pinellas County's Down Payment& Closing Cost Assistance program. The County's terms and conditions include a maximum SHIP award of$20,000 and no owner's contribution. During Fiscal Year 2017, the City closed five DPA loans compared to more than twenty loans closed by the County's DPA program. The Owner Occupied Rehabilitation Strategy was also amended to require that households, having received assistance from the city within the previous ten years, shall not be eligible for assistance unless a hardship exists. Lastly, the Disaster Mitigation Strategy was amended to increase the maximum award to a household from $5,000 to $10,000. This will give staff added flexibility to assist qualifying households following a disaster situation such as a hurricane. This increase is reflected in Exhibit C to the LHAP. All other terms and conditions will remain the same as previously adopted. Per Florida Statute, the Amendment requires approval by City Council. In response to questions, Housing Manager Joe Riddle said the amendment will not require income contribution from the applicant. SHIP funding does not require recipients to live in the home for a specific period of time before selling the home. Mr. Riddle said the amendment allows the City to be more competitive with Pinellas County and expend the funds by the June 30 deadline. Pinellas County has the opportunity to provide funding to applicants in the unincorporated areas of the county and within Clearwater city limits. Economic Development and Housing Assistant Director Chuck Lane said within the last ten years, the City has had a strong reduction of owner-occupied homes, the program encourages homeownership in Clearwater. Since Pinellas County has better terms, the City is unable to write any loans. Mr. Riddle said staff could improve advertisement efforts so that individuals in low income areas are aware of the funds. Payments for the first five years are deferred, beginning year six, the applicant will be begin making payments for twenty years. A concern was expressed that the amendment gives away a house and not ask anything in return from the applicant.

City Manager Reports 10.1 Support the Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority's TIGER Grant Application for construction of the Memorial Causeway Bus Way and adopt Resolution 17-36. This resolution supports the efforts of PSTA in applying for a TIGER (Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery) Grant for construction of the Memorial Causeway Bus Way. The Bus Way would tie the mainland into the Clearwater Beach Transit Center (CBTC) that is currently under construction by providing an exclusive lane for transit. The lane would also be available for emergency vehicles and evacuation traffic when needed. This lane would be available to support alternative forms of transportation in the future such as autonomous vehicles. The City of Clearwater, FDOT, and Forward Pinellas all support PSTA in the effort to provide as much infrastructure as possible for transit operations. A concern was expressed regarding the total project cost, increasing the number of vehicles on the road and proposed return on investment. It was stated that the project has been around for 15 years and addresses choke points and getting around the courthouse. Award of the TIGER grant is not guaranteed but if awarded, the project could move forward in the Page 8 City of Clearwater City Council Meeting Minutes October 5, 2017 engineering phase. The funds may be declined if the City and PSTA decide not to move forward with the project. Councilmember Caudell moved to support the Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority's TIGER Grant Application for construction of the Memorial Causeway Bus Way. The motion was duly seconded and carried with the following vote: Ayes: 4 - Mayor Cretekos, Vice Mayor Hamilton, Councilmember Caudell and Councilmember Jonson Nays: 1 - Councilmember Cundiff Resolution 17-36 was presented and read by title only.

Florida Statute Section 420.9076 states that counties and cities receiving State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) program funds are required to establish every three years an Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC) and prepare a Local Housing Incentive Strategy (LHIS). The statute further provides that the committee be made up of eleven members and that the City appoint the eleven members by resolution.

The Barefoot Beach House has been a mainstay on south Clearwater Beach for over 30 years. Due to the age of the structure and the harsh conditions for beach facilities, the roof on the current building is in need of complete replacement, including repairs and replacement of damaged decking and lumber. In reviewing possible options for how to repair and replace the roofs, staff is recommending the U.S. Communities and Master Intergovernmental Cooperative Purchasing Agreement (MICPA) with Garland/DBS, Inc. (Garland), previously used by Building and Maintenance on multiple city buildings. Garland is a contractor that has been awarded a Cobb County, Georgia bid for roofing services through this agreement, which is available to all members of the U.S. Communities cooperative. Page 10 City of Clearwater City Council Meeting Minutes October 5, 2017 This contract will include the removal of all roof systems down to wood deck, replace any damaged wood decking or wood supports, remove skylights on flat roof sections; and install new flashings, membrane adhesive, asphalt primer, new dimensional shingle roof system and gutter system. This contract includes a 10-year limited warranty on the roof as well as an additional two-year contractor warranty on labor. Garland performs an annual roof inspection for damage and repairs that might be needed. Garland administered a competitive bid process for the project and obtained three responsive bids. The City has had successful experience with Garland on other city roofing projects including Spectrum Stadium. This is a 30-day project and must be completed prior to construction of Phase II Restroom Renovations which will be completed prior to the 2018 spring break season. This item supports the City's Strategic Vision to provide quality facilities (Clearwater Beach House) for not only the enjoyment by residents but also Clearwater Beach tourists. APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT: Funds are available in capital improvement project 315-93672, Clearwater Beach Infrastructure Repair and Improvements, to fund this contract. Councilmember Cundiff moved to ratify and confirm the City Manager's approval to award a contract to Garland/DBS, Inc., of Cleveland, Ohio, in the amount of $165,370.70, to perform roofing repairs and replacement at Barefoot Beach House, in accordance with City Code 2.564(1)(d) Other Government Agency Bids, and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same.

Examples of ground support equipment include tugs, pulls, carts, tractors, and lawn equipment, all in support of regular operations. The project cost is estimated at $100,000.00 with the FDOT contributing $80,000.00 and the City providing a $20,000.00 match.

In May 2017, Request for Proposals #15-17, Disaster Debris Removal and Disposal Services, was issued by the City. Eleven responses were received and evaluated by committee members from General Services, Solid Waste, and Fire and Rescue. The committee unanimously recommended CrowderGulf Joint Venture, Inc. as the secondary contractor for post-disaster debris collection and removal. In the event that a major storm should cause sufficient damage in the City of Clearwater it will be necessary to engage contractors for assistance with the collection and removal of the resulting debris. APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT: No funds will be necessary to enter into this agreement. Given the uncertainty as to the extent of funds required for payment to the vendor, a separate agenda item will be brought forth once an estimate can be made. In response to questions, Solid Waste and General Services Director Page 12 City of Clearwater City Council Meeting Minutes October 5, 2017 Earl Gloster said Ashbritt is bringing in additional resources; CrowderGulf services will be activated if needed. He asked that residents be patient with storm debris removal. The City's website will include information updating residents on the status of debris removal beginning next week. Vice Mayor Hamilton moved to approve a Contract (Purchase Order) with CrowderGulf Joint Venture, Inc. of Theodore, AL for post-disaster debris collection and removal and authorize the appropriate officials to execute the same. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously. 10.6Amend City Council Rule 6, Order of Business, to require individuals addressing the Council to submit a completed Citizen Comment Card with the City Clerk and adopt Resolution 17-37. In response to a citizen's concern with providing their address verbally before addressing Council, staff was directed to amend the public comment process. The current process requiring individuals to state their name and address before speaking has been in place since October 1996. Staff recommends requiring all individuals to submit a completed comment card that includes their name, address, agenda item to which they wish to speak, telephone number, email address and position on the item. Comment cards will be available for a representatives of a group who may speak for three minutes plus an additional minute for each person in the audience who waives their right to speak, up to a maximum of ten minutes, for items on the agenda (other than citizens to be heard). Staff recommends amending Rule 6, Order of Business, as follows: (1) E. Citizens to be heard regarding items not on the agenda. Eacherp son who wishes to address the Council shall complete a comment card and submit the card to the City Clerk (right-hand side of dais). speakeFANifl- be actod to give their name and address and to Individuals will limit their comments to a maximum of three minutes. (3) Public comments in support or opposition of items before the Council shall be limited to a total of 60 minutes, which can be extended upon Council approval. Unless otherwise specified, persons speaking before the City Council shall be limited to three minutes per speaker. Representatives of a group may speak for three minutes plus an additional minute for each person in the audience that waives their right to speak, up to a maximum of ten minutes. A form comment card will be provided to document the request for additional time Page 13 City of Clearwater City Council Meeting Minutes October 5, 2017 and those agreeing to waive their right to speak. No person shall speak more than once on the same subject at the same meeting unless granted permission by the City Council. When time limits are set for speakers, unused time cannot be passed from one speaker to another. Extensions of time limits can be given if approved by the Chair. In response to a question, the City Clerk said if approved, staff will work with Public Communications to create the two distinct comments cards, to be available as soon as possible. It was requested that staff address the inconsistencies with the different public hearings (page 3, item 1 G) at a future meeting. In response to a concern, the City Clerk said, in the past, the City Commission did require a completed comment card be submitted within ten minutes of the start of the meeting. Staff has noticed during the past few meetings, several individuals, who preferred not to state their address, would not provide their contact information after speaking. She said the rule change does not require the comment cards be submitted by a certain time. The City Clerk said the comment cards would assist with staff follow-up for individuals requesting information. In response to questions, the City Clerk said the comment cards requires individuals to provide their name and address so that they do not have to state their name and address before speaking. Only one comment card will be needed for an individual speaker, if speaking on more than one agenda item, staff will note the item numbers if not listed. The City Clerk said Council will be provided with a draft comment card prior to printing. One individual spoke in support. Councilmember Jonson moved to amend City Council Rule 6, Order of Business, to require individuals addressing the Council to submit a completed Citizen Comment Card with the City Clerk. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously. Resolution 17-37 was presented and read by title only. Councilmember Caudell moved to adopt Resolution 17-37.

City Attorney Reports — None. 12. Closing comments by Councilmembers (limited to 3 minutes) Councilmember Jonson said the county is holding a tire collection at Eagle Lake Park on Saturday. The city manager's annual evaluation is scheduled for the next Council meeting; he thanked the City Manager for the State of the City presentation. He said he shared information with Council regarding the Florida League of Cities annual conference seminar related to evaluating a city manager. He suggested the next Charter Review Committee review section 3.03(0 regarding the timing of the city manager's annual update; presenting the update after the beginning of the fiscal year makes more sense. He said he read an article in Sunday's paper regarding the Dying Art of Disagreement. 13. Closing Comments by Mayor 14. Adjourn Mayor Cretekos reviewed recent and upcoming events, thanked Dr. Kiran Patel for his generous contribution to the Florida Osteopathic Hospital and expressed deepest sympathy to the family of USCG Admiral Schwob.
