3. Economic Development and Housing
3.1 Review of Penny for Pinellas IV Joint Review Committee recommendations for funding
affordable housing and economic development projects. (WSO)
On November 7, 2017, Pinellas County voters approved an extension of the
Infrastructure Sales Surtax, a 1.0% sales tax that is dedicated to infrastructure
improvement projects in Pinellas County. The approved ballot language
included an 8.3% set aside for “land acquisition for affordable housing” and
“capital projects to support economic development” as permissible uses of
funds.
A Joint Review Committee (JRC), comprised of 12 members representing
county government and cities in Pinellas, convened in 2019 to develop
guidelines for the use of the set aside funds. The guidelines are to be presented
to Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners on December 10, 2019,
following unanimous approval of JRC on October 25, 2019.
Economic Development and Housing Director Denise Sanderson provided a
PowerPoint presentation.
In response to questions, Ms. Sanderson said opportunity zone funds are
Page 2
City of Clearwater
Council Work Session Meeting Minutes December 2, 2019
compatible with the program, in so far what the developer will bring to the
table. The opportunity zones in Clearwater is census tract 259, which is
sitting on a primary transit corridor and is consistent with Forward Pinellas'
Advantage Pinellas Plan. Staff anticipates bringing forward a proposal for an
additional incentive for council consideration; the incentive program will
include funds for public infrastructure for site readiness in certain
geographies. She said the proposed program will establish a fund so the City
could also invest in projects, consistent with the Florida Job Growth Grant
Program. Ms. Sanderson said there is a prioritization for affordable housing
projects seeking Penny IV funds to have a minimum of ten units but it is not
required.
4. Police Department
4.1 Authorize the purchase of nineteen additional police vehicles for a not-to-exceed amount
of $745,000, per the recommended contracts in accordance with Clearwater Code of
Ordinances Section 2.564 (1)(d) Other Government Entities; declare surplus and
authorize for disposal at auction the vehicles being replaced in accordance with
Clearwater Code of Ordinances Section 2.622; authorize an increase to the current
purchase order with Enforcement One Inc., of Oldsmar, Florida in the amount of $150,000
to provide police upfitting services for a new not to exceed amount of $450,000; authorize
lease purchase under the City's Master Lease Purchase Agreement or internal financing
via an interfund loan from the Capital Improvement Fund, whichever is deemed to be in
the City's best interests and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same.
(consent)
The Police Department has experienced higher than normal repair costs
associated with the Chevrolet Caprice Patrol vehicle and has accelerated the
removal of these vehicles from its Patrol fleet; in most instances, the per-mile
repair costs associated with these vehicle has been significantly higher than
other products within the Police Department fleet. In aggregate, these repair
concerns have focused on camshaft failure, air-conditioning failure, inordinate
braking system wear, and assorted front-end problems. Complicating matters,
these vehicles were manufactured in Australia and utilize non-standard parts,
which are difficult to obtain through U.S. parts suppliers or dealers.
Recent and high failure rate of these vehicles has resulted in significant
repair/labor costs, as well as operational limitations upon the Police
Department. As a result, Fleet Maintenance has recommended removing all
Chevrolet Caprices from the Police Department fleet.
As a result, the Police Department is requesting a consolidated expenditure
authorization not to exceed $745,000.00 for the acquisition of nineteen Ford
Page 3
City of Clearwater
Council Work Session Meeting Minutes December 2, 2019
Interceptor Police Pursuit Vehicles as outlined within the accompanying
spreadsheet.
All contracts recommended for purchase authorization are competitively bid and
awarded by their respective jurisdictions:
FSA/FAC is a purchasing cooperative in the State of Florida for police
and municipal requirements. Contract# FSA18-VEL26.0 October 1,
2019 - September 30, 2020 and Contract # FSA18-VEH16.0 October 1,
2019 - September 30, 2020.
Sourcewell (formerly NJPA) is a purchasing cooperative operating under
legislative authority in the State of Minnesota. Contract #120716-NAF
January 17, 2017- January 17, 2021.
The cost of these nineteen replacement vehicles is approximately $723,490,
plus contingency ($21,510) for total not to exceed amount of $745,000.
On October 16, 2019, Council approved an award of Invitation to Bid Number
47-19, to Enforcement One, Inc, of Oldsmar, Florida (ID# 19-6933) in the annual
not-to-exceed amount of $300,000 in the first year of the agreement. In
anticipation of the upfitting costs associated with these additional vehicles, it is
requested this authorization be increased to $450,000 during the first year of the
agreement.
APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT:
The following funds are available to fund the vehicle purchases: $300,000 of
Penny for Pinellas revenues in capital project 315-94238, Police Vehicles;
$38,878 of police service revenue in special program 181-99350, Vehicle
Replacement; and $406,122 of lease purchase revenues in capital project
L1910, Motorized Equipment Replacement.
Funding will be made available within the Police Department’s existing
2019-2020 operating budget (various cost codes) for up-fitting, operating, and
maintenance costs.
In response to questions, Police Chief Daniel Slaughter said the engine
issues associated with the Caprice are due to idling; the displacement on
demand lifter has a faulty manufacturing design. The vehicles are out of
warranty. Fleet Manager Perry Conzin the cost per mile was $0.52, versus
$0.29 per mile for the Ford Explorer. Chief Slaughter said the purchase is
being funded with $300,000 from Penny for Pinellas and $38,000 from
Page 4
City of Clearwater
Council Work Session Meeting Minutes December 2, 2019
Special PD Project Code for recovered extra duty; the remaining balance will
be funded through the lease program. Mr. Conzen said the Ford Explorer
Pursuit will be the Department's fleet platform moving forward. The hybrid
vehicles will be the bridge to all electric vehicles. Chief Slaughter said the
Department will be blending the hybrid vehicles into the fleet to determine
performance. The purchase before Council includes 7 hybrid vehicles.
5. Engineering
5.1 Approve a Construction Manager at Risk proposal from Certus Builders of Tampa,
Florida, for a Guaranteed Maximum Price of $1,157,483.80, for construction of a
restroom at Seminole Street Boat Ramp (16-0020-PL) and authorize the appropriate
officials to execute same. (consent)
On August 4, 2016, City Council approved the use of Construction Manager at
Risk Services (CMR) for Continuing Contracts Biltmore Construction Co., Inc.
of Belleair, FL; Cathey Construction and Development, LLC of Mexico Beach,
FL; Certus Builders, Inc. of Tampa, FL; J. Kokolakis Contracting, Inc. of
Tarpons Springs, FL; J.O. Delotto & Sons, Inc. of Tampa, FL; Keystone
Excavators, Inc. of Oldsmar, FL; Khors Construction, Inc. of Thonotosassa, FL;
and Wharton-Smith, Inc. of Sanford, FL for a period of four years.
These firms were selected in accordance with Florida Statutes 255.103 and
287.055 under Request for Qualifications #24-16 based upon construction
experience, financial capability, availability of qualified staff, local knowledge and
involvement in the community.
Renovations and improvements to Seminole Street Boat Ramp/North Marina
District Improvements will be completed by November 30, 2019.
This proposal with Certus Builders Inc. is for construction of an ADA compliant
restroom facility, including a lift station, meeting FEMA requirements. The
structure will be two stories in height, above the flood plain.
Construction will be completed within 180 calendar days from the date of Notice
to Proceed.
Once completed, the Marine and Aviation Department will be responsible for the
day to day maintenance of the restrooms. The Department is proposing to hire
an outside contractor to provide necessary custodial maintenance for the
facility.
APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT:
ENGF180014-CONS-CNSTRC $1,157,483.80
Funds are available in Capital Improvement Project ENGF180014, Seminole
Page 5
City of Clearwater
Council Work Session Meeting Minutes December 2, 2019
Boat Launch Improvements, to fund the proposal.
In response to questions, Geographic Technology Manager Tom Mahony
said the elevated cost is due to the location of the restrooms in the
floodplain, the elevator and relocating all the utilities. The lift station was
expensive because it required components that would prevent overflows into
the bay. Assistant City Manager Michael Delk said the elevator was a mid-
project addition because some of the initial project costs were lower than
anticipated.
Concerns were expressed with the proposed costs. Staff was directed to
provide cost detail if the bathroom facilities are relocated up the hill. There
was council consensus to pull the item off the agenda.
5.2 Approve the request from the owners of property addressed as 901 S. Missouri Avenue
and 1209 Jasmine Way, Clearwater, to vacate all of the platted alley abutting Lots 6 and
7 of Block D, as described in the plat titled McVeigh Subdivision as recorded in Plat
Book 30, Page 83, of the Public Records of Pinellas County, Florida and pass Ordinance
9351-19 on first reading. (VAC2019-16)
The property owners of 901 S. Missouri Avenue and 1209 Jasmine Way,
Clearwater have requested that the City vacate a 20-foot-wide alley between
their properties.
The purpose of this vacation will be to allow for future development on the
owner’s property.
All city departments have reviewed this alley vacation and have no objection.
The City of Clearwater will retain a Utility Easement on the south 6 feet of the
plated alley proposed to be vacated, for the installation and maintenance of any
and all public utilities to support existing and future facilities.
5.3 Accept a sidewalk easement over portions of Lots 10, 11 and 12, Block 4, of Carter,
Honaker and Bare’s Lincoln Place Addition to Clearwater as recorded in Plat Book 3,
Page 27, of the Public Records of Pinellas County, Florida, conveyed to the City by the
Property Owner, adopt Resolution 19-38, and authorize the appropriate officials to
execute same.
The sidewalk easement will allow the City rights for repair and maintenance of a
sidewalk as Clearwater Neighborhood Housing Services develops the site for
single family housing.

5.4 Approve an Engineer of Record (EOR) work order to HW Lochner of Tampa, FL for
design of the Memorial Causeway Bridge lighting in the amount of $166,656 and
authorize the appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
In February of 2018, City Council approved the Imagine Clearwater master plan
followed by subsequent work orders for the master plan validation, along with
the schematic and construction document phases of the design. The design
and subsequent lighting of the Memorial Causeway Bridge is a linear phase of
the Coachman Commons project. HW Lochner will coordinate the
requirements to design and install dynamic color aesthetic bridge lighting.
Document needed permits and maintenance requirements with the Florida
Department of Transportation (FDOT) and United States Coast Guard (USCG)
Waterways. Provide dynamic color aesthetic lighting concepts, video/images
and manufacturer details to obtain city approval. Coordinate a Maintenance of
Agreement (MOA) through permitting with FDOT for the City to maintain the
dynamic bridge lighting. Provide an environmental assessment memo
documenting no impacts to marine wildlife. Obtain existing as built plans to
determine the current electrical system in place.
APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT:
ENGF200002-DSGN-PROSVC $166,656
A first quarter budget amendment will establish Capital Improvement Project
ENGF200002, Memorial Causeway Lighting, with transfers of General Fund
revenues in the amounts of $117,993.36 from 99888, ULI Report
Implementation, and $1,482,006.64 from Imagine Clearwater, to fund the
project.
In response to questions, Cultural Affairs Coordinator Christopher Hubbard
said Lochner is coordinating and providing the designs. The designs will be
provided to a manufacturer after the permitting process is completed.
Assistant City Manager Michael Delk said the challenge will be to get the
plan as quickly as possible because it is needed for the DOT permitting
application. Mr. Hubbard said Lochner will provide visuals; the dynamic
lighting includes individual column lighting that will be accessible from a
remote location. The lighting can be modified all at once or individually. The
lighting will be projected up and not diffuse elsewhere. Mr. Delk said the
DOT permitting process could take up to 6 months. Mr. Hubbard said the
permitting process includes identifying lighting that is not permissible.

6. Planning
6.1 Approve the annexation, initial Future Land Use Map designations of Residential Low
(RL) and Water/Drainage Feature Overlay and initial Zoning Atlas designation of Low
Medium Density Residential (LMDR) District for 1725 Owen Drive and pass Ordinances
9343-19, 9344-19 and 9345-19 on first reading. (ANX2019-10023)
This voluntary annexation petition involves a 0.200-acre property consisting of
one parcel of land occupied by a single-family dwelling. The parcel is located on
the east side of Owen Drive approximately 365 feet north of SR 590. The
applicant is requesting annexation in order to receive sanitary sewer and solid
waste service from the City. The property is located within an enclave and is
contiguous to existing city limits to the east. It is proposed that the property be
assigned Future Land Use Map designations of Residential Low (RL) and
Water/Drainage Feature Overlay and a Zoning Atlas designation of Low Medium
Density Residential (LMDR).
The Planning and Development Department determined that the proposed
annexation is consistent with the provisions of Clearwater Community
Development Code Section 4-604.E as follows:
The property currently receives water service from Pinellas County.
Collection of solid waste will be provided to the property by the City. The
closest sanitary sewer line is located in the adjacent Owen Drive
right-of-way, and the owner is aware that the required sewer impact and
assessment fees must be paid in full prior to connection and of the
additional costs to extend City sewer service to the property. Collection
of solid waste will be provided to the property by the City. The property
is located within Police District III and service will be administered
through the district headquarters located at 2851 N. McMullen Booth
Road. Fire and emergency medical services will be provided to this
property by Station #48 located at 1700 Belcher Road. The City has
adequate capacity to serve this property with sanitary sewer, solid
waste, police, fire and EMS service. Water service will continue to be
provided by Pinellas County. The proposed annexation will not have an
adverse effect on public facilities and their levels of service; and
The proposed annexation is consistent with and promotes the following
objectives and policy of the Clearwater Comprehensive Plan:
Objective A.6.4 Due to the built-out character of the City of
Clearwater, compact urban development within the urban
service area shall be promoted through application of the
Clearwater Community Development Code.
Objective A.7.2 Diversify and expand the City’s tax base through
the annexation of a variety of land uses located within the
Clearwater Planning Area.
Page 8
City of Clearwater
Council Work Session Meeting Minutes December 2, 2019
Policy A.7.2.3 Continue to process voluntary annexations for
single-family residential properties upon request.
The proposed Residential Low (RL) Future Land Use Map category is
consistent with the current Countywide Plan designation of this property.
This designation primarily permits residential uses at a density of 5 units
per acre. The Water/Drainage Feature Overlay proposed to be applied
to the property will recognize the existing drainage easement on the
property. The proposed zoning district to be assigned to the property is
Low Medium Density Residential (LMDR). The use of the subject
property is consistent with the uses allowed in the District and the
property exceeds the District’s minimum dimensional requirements. The
proposed annexation is therefore consistent with the Countywide Plan
and the City’s Comprehensive Plan and Community Development Code;
and
The property proposed for annexation is contiguous to existing city limits
to the east. Therefore, the annexation is consistent with Florida Statutes
Chapter 171.044.
