4.1 18-month CRA plan Updates - Amanda Thompson, CRA Director
CRA Executive Director Amanda Thompson provided a PowerPoint
presentation.
In response to questions, Ms. Thompson said representatives from the
1100 Apex Building communicated that the project should be completed
by early September; the work must be completed by October 30 to
comply with the grant. The project's delay has been associated with a Draft

tough labor market. She said the weekly schedule will begin with 200
laborers on staff and end with 70. The tough market may be associated
with better pay opportunities. The Mercado remains part of the CRA's
overall strategy and will be addressed once the streetscape is finalized
and the architect provides three design concepts that align with the
streetscape. After staff review, the design concept will be shared with the
community and will be used to identify partnerships. She anticipates
implementing the project plan when the streetscape construction begins.
Staff has met with a Downtown property owner who raised concerns with
the planters on the 500-block on Cleveland Street. This block does not
have any street trees but planters that take up the same amount of space
as the trees. Ms. Thompson said the property owner declined the offer
she provided to meet with the tenant to discuss the possibility of shifting
the planters. The property owner did not want to share tenant information.
The CRA's strategy identifies the need for more affordable housing,
which provides the 24-7 pedestrian activity that supports the local
businesses. She said the former Fire Station 45 on Pierce Street requires
at least $1 million to rehabilitate for any use. In the current market, it is
not economically feasible for the facility to have an office or retail use
because it will require so much upfront investment. Ms. Thompson said
when the Letter of Interest for adaptive reuse was issued for the Fire
Station, one response for a non-profit art center was received. The
Community Garden, which was the former Economy Inn site, is a
wonderful community engagement program. She said the planting beds
are full, there are plenty of participants and surrounding properties are
being renovated. Staff did not receive a response when the Request for
Proposals for housing on that site was issued. Developers have
suggested that townhomes would be more appropriate for the site, which
is not dense enough to support the retail and restaurant market in the
area. Ms. Thompson said the current housing market for the site is soft
and suggested an urban farm may be a possibility. Staff is working with
the Sustainability Coordinator to determine if a temporary urban farm is
possible until a housing project could be pursued.
4.2 Approve a CRA Loan to Grant Agreement for 412 Cleveland Street and supporting
documents and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same.
At the October 29, 2018 CRA meeting, the Trustees approved a time limited,
grant program for property owners to support the establishment of new food
and drink businesses that are open on nights and weekends in the Downtown
Core and Prospect Lake districts in the Community Redevelopment Agency
(CRA) area.

Mainstreet Clearwater Development LLC secured an eight-year lease with
Starson LLC for Roxy’s, a food and drink business that will be open nights and
weekends and submitted their full application on March 1, 2019.
On March 29, 2019, the application was reviewed by an internal staff committee
that included the Interim CRA Director, Planning Director, Building Official and

• Consistency with the goals of the Downtown Redevelopment Plan.
• Feasibility of the proposed scope of services and timeline.
• Ability to provide an experience that does not exist in Downtown
presently.
• Ability to meet the legal and financial requirements of the grant program.
The committee found that the application met the criteria and recommends
approval of the application in the amount of $238,110.41.
The CRA approved the full application at the April 15, 2019 meeting subject to
the Borrower executing a loan-to-grant agreement with related security securing
the promises contained in that agreement. The applicant subsequently
executed both the agreement and the related security on July 22, 2019.

SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Interlocal Agreement with the Downtown Development Board (DDB) to provide
personnel, administrative and management services during Fiscal Year 2019-2020 in the
amount of $73,512 and refund the CRA (Community Redevelopment Agency) tax increment
fee of $286,022.00 and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same.
SUMMARY:
Florida Statutes 163.387 requires all taxing authorities, which includes the DDB, to make an
annual appropriation in an amount equal to the incremental increase in the ad valorem revenue
within the CRA area. The DDB’s increment payment is $286,022.00 according to the Pinellas
County Property Appraiser’s office. In a spirit of cooperation to further the downtown
redevelopment plan, the CRA Trustees executed the first Interlocal Agreement in Fiscal Year
1999-2000 to provide personnel, administrative and management services to the DDB and to
refund the difference between the increment payment and the management fee. This is the
twenty-first fiscal year that the CRA would enter into the agreement.
Pursuant to Florida Statute 163.01, the CRA and DDB can enter into this agreement in which
the DDB agrees to perform certain responsibilities and functions including funding projects and
programs consistent with the downtown redevelopment plan. The intent of this agreement is for
the DDB and the CRA to work collaboratively on projects and programs that further downtown
goals and objectives. The management of the DDB by CRA staff enables the CRA and the
DDB to utilize the public dollars more efficiently.
The DDB shall pay the CRA $73,512 for the services agreed to in the Interlocal Agreement.
The DDB approved the Interlocal Agreement at their meeting on August 7, 2019.

Agenda Number: 4.5
SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Fiscal Year 2019-2020 Community Redevelopment Agency Preliminary Budget,
adopt CRA Resolution 19-01 and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same.
SUMMARY:
With the adoption of the 2018 Clearwater Downtown Redevelopment Plan and the 18-month
Strategy, the Community Redevelopment Agency has realigned its project expenditures to
facilitate implementation of the plan goals. The major highlights of the Fiscal Year (FY)
2019-2020 proposed preliminary budget are as follows:
Tax Increment Revenue increased by 3.5% over the Amended 2018-2019 budget, reflecting an
increase in taxable value of approximately 3% in the original CRA area, and a decrease in
taxable value of approximately 1% in the expanded (Downtown Gateway) CRA. These
compare with citywide 6.7% increase in value. Last year’s tax revenue was significantly
increased by the addition of The Nolen apartment complex to the district.
CRA funds are divided between Operating Expenditures and Project Funds. Operating
Expenditures include the services, supplies and expenses that occur during the fiscal year and
are primarily used for conducting the CRA’s day to day operations as well as consulting
services that will begin and end within the fiscal year. Project Funds include Interlocal
Agreements, Capital Improvements and funding for established programs whose work extends
beyond one fiscal year. The funds in Project Funds carry over from year to year.
Operating Expenditures have increased by $93,294 from FY 18/19 to FY 19/20. Most of the
increase, $40,000 in Contractual Services, reflects a shift from a Project Fund to Operating
Expenditures to pay for the Downtown Clearwater website. Advertising and Other Promotional
Activities has been increased by $35,000 to allow for additional marketing activities to promote
the Opportunity Zone in downtown. Operating Expenditures also includes the pass-through
revenues to the Downtown Development Board (DDB) and the $100,000 agreement with Ruth
Eckerd Hall for Blast Friday.
Transfers Out designates the funding this fiscal year that will be allocated to various Project
Funds. The activities in Project Funds have been identified in the 2018 Downtown
Redevelopment Plan which also serves as the CRA’s designated work plan. County TIF Funds,
$1,658,145 for this fiscal year, are restricted to capital improvement projects and land
acquisition. The costs for Interlocal agreements with the City, Police Department and Library
are found in the General Fund, Downtown Gateway Project, and Library Activation lines for a
total of $760,241. The remaining TIF revenue has been allocated to Downtown Redevelopment
($565,935) for land acquisition, building improvements and other capital improvements and the

SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Fiscal Year 18/19 Third Quarter budget Amendments and adopt CRA Resolution
19-03.
SUMMARY:
The CRA has received an increase of $239,247 in City TIF (Tax Increment Financing) funds,
$247 in County TIF funds and $171 in Downtown Development Board revenue for Fiscal Year
18/19. Staff recommends allocating those funds to the Downtown Redevelopment and
Placemaking Activities projects to support food and drink grants, special events programming
and other placemaking programs.
Staff is also recommending a transfer of $33,677 from Other Contractual Services to the
General Fund to account for increased personnel costs for staffing at the Dreams of Dali
experience. The CRA is still within the allowable expenses for personnel outlined in the
Interlocal Agreement with the City. There are a few adjustments within the operating
expenditures to account for increases in Advertising, Relocation Expense and Memberships.
