Agenda Number: 2.1
SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Discuss proposed 2019/20 Operating and Capital Improvement Budget and approve updated
Penny for Pinellas project list for public hearing advertisement.
SUMMARY:
The proposed 2019/20 Operating and Capital Improvement Budget was presented to City
Council at the July 18, 2019 council meeting. The tentative millage rate of 5.9550 mills was
approved for fiscal year 2019/20, which is the same rate as was levied in the current year.
As required by City Ordinance, a public hearing for approval of the Penny for Pinellas project list
is held prior to adoption of the capital improvement budget. In advance of that public hearing,
scheduled for September 5, 2019, the proposed project list is available for review of changes
included in the proposed 2019/20 budget.
Significant changes to the project list include:
·Aviation Operations Center - This project, which provides funding for a replacement
of the airpark operations center, is being postponed from fiscal year 2019/20 to 2022/23.
·Fire Engines/Ladder Truck Replacement - The replacement schedule for fire ladder
trucks is being changed to advance the planned replacement from fiscal year 2020/21
to 2019/20 and eliminate the replacement in fiscal year 2022/23 which is not needed
due to life cycle of current ladder trucks. The funding for fire engine replacements are
being changed to postpone fiscal year 2019/20 to 2020/21 and add an engine
replacement in fiscal year 2022/23 reallocating funding from the ladder truck. This
project in total is being reduced by $1,000,000 due to elimination of one ladder truck
replacement.
·Police District III (Countryside Substation) - This project, which provides for
construction of replacement patrol operations and training facilities at the Countryside
Substation, is being increased by $6,000,000.
·Waterfront/Bluff Masterplan (Imagine Clearwater) - This project, which provides
funding for the revitalization project for the downtown Clearwater waterfront and
Coachman Park, is being increased by $6,500,000.
·Downtown Parking Garage - This project, budgeted at a total of $10,500,000 planned
Page 1 City of Clearwater Printed on 8/21/2019
File Number: ID#19-6644
in fiscal years 2025/26 and 2026/27, is being eliminated from the Penny for Pinellas
project list. Funding will instead be provided by Parking revenues, reallocating Penny
for Pinellas revenues to fund other projects.
·Ed Wright Park Renovations / Neighborhood Parks Renovations - The remaining
Penny III funding of $260,0000 in the Neighborhood Parks Renovations project is being
transferred to the Ed Wright Park Renovations project to provide additional funding
needed to complete the park renovations.
