9. Other items on City Manager Reports
9.1 Amend Appendix A, Division XXV, Section(2)(a) of the Code of Ordinances,
changing the amount charged for a fire hydrant to current market rate and pass
Ordinance 7885-07 on first reading.
The current codified price for the City of Clearwater to sell a fire hydrant is $775
each. Due to the current code, the City has not recuperated the actual costs of hydrants
for years.
Council 2007-11-01 4
Fire hydrants are made from cast iron, ductile iron, steel, stainless steel and
bronze. The costs of metals fluctuate constantly; therefore the prices of hydrants
change often. Though prices change, the need to recover costs remains.
The Water Division of the Public Utilities Department purchases fire hydrants
annually. The last rate for hydrants purchased was at a staggeringly low cost of $955
each, which will most likely not be seen again; the rate for the prior year’s purchase was
$1,102 for each hydrant. This example shows a difference of $147 from one year to the
next.
The Water Division is not attempting to make a profit on fire hydrants, but
requests the latitude to charge back the actual cost of the hydrant to the customer rather
than ending with a deficit in supply expenditures every year. The market price stated in
the ordinance means the actual price paid for the hydrant used to fulfill the customer’s
work order request.
There are no costs associated with this item.
Councilmember Cretekos moved to amend Appendix A, Division XXV, Section
(2)(a) of the Code of Ordinances, changing the amount charged for a fire hydrant to
motioncarried
current market rate. The was duly seconded and unanimously.
Ordinance 7885-07 was presented for first reading and read by title only.
Councilmember Petersen moved to pass Ordinance 7885-07 on first reading. The
motion was duly seconded and upon roll call, the vote was:
"Ayes": Doran, Petersen, Cretekos, Gibson, and Hibbard.
"Nays": None.
9.2 Adopt Resolution 07-28 establishing the intent to reimburse certain Water &
Sewer project costs incurred with proceeds of future tax-exempt financing.
A Water & Sewer rate study was completed in October 2004 and resulted in the
City Council approving 6% rate increases each year for FY 2005 through FY 2009.
These rate increases are sufficient to provide for operations, capital projects, and debt
service on bonds during this time period. A limited rate study update was completed in
September 2007, which identified a need for approximately $191.3 million in capital
projects from FY 2007 through FY 2012, with bonds to be issued in FY 2009 for projects
costing approximately $66 million and in FY 2010 for projects costing approximately
$30.8 million. In addition to the bond proceeds, rate revenues, grants, impact fees and
R & R revenues will provide the balance of the project funding. The date of issuance will
be determined at a later date based on market conditions. The Water & Sewer fund will
incur expenses on these projects prior to the issuance of the bonds. This
reimbursement resolution will allow the City to be reimbursed from the Bond proceeds.
In the Spring of 2008, a formal Water & Sewer Utility rate study update will be
performed by Burton and Associates, Inc. for the purpose of identifying necessary rate
changes to be approved for the 4 or 5 years following the last current approved rate
increase in FY 2009. The 2007 limited rate study update verified that the approved rate
increases for FY 2008 and FY 2009 of 6% each year is sufficient, and annual increases
Council 2007-11-01 5
of 6% for several years following FY 2009 would also be sufficient to provide the
revenue needed for operations, projects and debt service.
One person questioned reclaimed water projects being included and if matching
funds would be needed.
Finance Director Margie Simmons said the City will only issue bonds for those
projects moving forward.
Councilmember Gibson moved to establish the intent to reimburse certain Water
& Sewer project costs incurred with proceeds of future tax-exempt financing. The
motion carried
was duly seconded and unanimously.
Resolution 07-28 was presented and read by title only. Councilmember Petersen
moved to pass and adopt Resolution 07-28 and authorize the appropriate officials to
execute same. The motion was duly seconded and upon roll call, the vote was:
"Ayes": Doran, Petersen, Cretekos, Gibson, and Hibbard.
"Nays": None.
9.3 Adopt Resolution 07-29 establishing the intent to reimburse certain Stormwater
project costs incurred with proceeds of future tax-exempt financing.
A Stormwater Utility rate study was completed in June 2006 and resulted in the
City Council approving annual 6% rate increases in Fiscal Years 2007 through 2011.
These rate increases are sufficient to provide for operations, capital projects, and debt
service on bonds during this time period. A limited rate study update was completed in
September 2007, which identified a need for approximately $63.5 million in capital
projects from FY 2007 through FY 2012, with bonds to be issued in FY 2009 for projects
costing approximately $17 million and in FY 2011 for projects costing approximately
$14.5 million. In addition to the bond proceeds, rate revenues and grants will provide
the balance of the project funding. The date of issuance will be determined at a later
date based on market conditions. The Stormwater fund will be incurring expenses on
these projects prior to the issuance of the bonds. This reimbursement resolution will
allow for the City to be reimbursed from the Bond proceeds.
In the Spring of 2008, a formal Stormwater Utility rate study update will be
performed by Burton and Associates, Inc. for the purpose of identifying necessary rate
changes to be approved for the 2 or 3 years following the last current approved rate
increase in FY 2009. The 2007 limited rate study update verified that the approved rate
increases for FY 2008 through FY 2011 of 6% each year is sufficient, and annual
increases of 6% for several years following FY 2011 would also be sufficient to provide
the revenue needed for operations, projects and debt service.
Councilmember Doran moved to establish the intent to reimburse certain
Stormwater project costs incurred with proceeds of future tax-exempt financing. The
motioncarried
was duly seconded and unanimously.

11. City Manager Verbal Reports
11.1 Update on Marina Business Plan
Ms. Simmons said staff revised Marina slip rates per Council’s direction, added
dollars for maintenance for future projects, increased recreational rates to market rates,
and added volume discounts for fuel purchases. With these changes, the Marina will
realize a slight profit in the first year of the business plan. However, these changes do
not take into account market conditions.
Discussion ensued regarding future maintenance and debt service. It was
requested that staff add a line item in the Marina Business Plan indicating that the
reserves will stay in a reserve fund for renovations.
In response to questions, Marine & Aviation Director Bill Morris said the only
discount for fuel purchase is for commercial boaters who meet the minimum monthly
requirement of 500 gallons. Staff would like to have an independent appraiser perform a
market study of local marinas to determine the value of a prime location and how to
structure rates for the class or use of a boat. Currently, rates are charged based on the
number of passengers. Consensus was that staff will investigate different rates by
Council 2007-11-01 10
vessel class and location and in the interim, the proposed commercial rate structure will
remain in place.
Mr. Morris said 10% of slips in the Marina are transient and generate 25% of total
slip rents. In response to a question, Mr. Morris said staff’s analysis of current transient
revenues indicated that it would not be cost effective to convert recreational slips into
transient slips. Staff will continue to focus on marketing to attract transient recreational
boaters.
Discussion ensued regarding transfer fees. It was remarked that currently, slips
can be transferred without a fee to a mate or family member if the use stays the same.
It was suggested transfer fees be lowered in the first few years or until Beach Walk is
completed.
The meeting recessed from 8:25 to 8:30 p.m.
One person spoke requesting Council reconsider transfer fees.
Discussion ensued with concern being expressed that transfer fees based on slip
rent will become huge in future years.
Consensus was to set transfer fees for commercial slips at current 2007 rates
with CPI increases for future years (one year for same use, two years for different use);
no exception for family or employees; institute five-year agreements assignable with City
approval of assignee and use; and new five-year agreements upon assignment. New
owners of recreational slips be placed at bottom of the waiting list.
Two persons expressed concern regarding proposed slip rates.
12. Other Council Action
12.1 City Attorney Salary
AND
12.2 City Manager Salary
Human Resources Director Joe Roseto reviewed the process for City Attorney
and City Manager salary comparisons and said both salaries are below market rates.
Discussion ensued with comments that the City is blessed with incredible
leadership, and that it would cost the City more to hire a new City Attorney and City
Manager. However, due to budget constraints and the economy, the City cannot afford
to increase both salaries to market rate.
Councilmember Cretekos moved to approve a 3% salary increase for the City
Manager and City Attorney. The motion was duly seconded.
Council 2007-11-01 11
Discussion ensued. It was stated both employees deserve a larger increase, and
that 3.95% is more appropriate.
Upon the vote being taken, Councilmember Cretekos and Mayor Hibbard voted
"Aye"; Councilmembers Doran, Petersen, and Gibson voted "Nay". Motion failed.
Councilmember Gibson moved to approve a 3.95% salary increase for the City
Attorney and City Manager. The motion was duly seconded. Councilmembers Doran,
Petersen, and Gibson voted "Aye"; Councilmember Cretekos and Mayor Hibbard voted
"Nay". Motion carried.

reviewed upcoming events; thanked Duke Tieman for annual drug march at Lake
Belleview; thanked employees for participation in Day of Caring and giving back to
community; encouraged all to attend Ironman event; thanked coastal clean-up
volunteers for their efforts; thanked those involved with Jazz Holiday.
Mavor Hibbard said the Faith in Action for Strength Together group's focus will
be crime and drugs next year; thanked City Manager and City Attorney for job well done.
Councilmember Petersen will share information regarding the Homeless
Leadership Network session when time permits; encouraged interested individuals to
enter the Sister Cities logo contest, information available on City website.
