SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Change Order 2 to Skanska USA Building, Inc., of Tampa, FL, for Imagine
Clearwater Flatwork and Vertical Construction (17-0031-EN) in the amount of $887,847.46,

SUMMARY:
December 19, 2019, City Council approved RFQ #52-19 selecting Skanska as Construction
Manager at Risk to provide construction services for Imagine Clearwater and approve a
proposal for Pre-Construction services in the amount of $425,000.00 to include design review
and construction cost estimating.
The project construction contract is divided into three phases as three separate Guaranteed
Maximum Price (GMPs).
September 3, 2020, City Council approved GMP #1 for $1,184,090.00 to relocate Duke
Energy infrastructure to support the future park buildings and infrastructure.
April 15, 2021, City Council approved GMP #2 for $12,943,812.00 to Skanska for demolition,
sitework and installation of utilities infrastructure.
July 15, 2021, City Council approved GMP #3 for $55,370,250.00 to Skanska for flatwork and
vertical construction, the main scope of the project.
October 6, 2022, City Manager approved Administrative Change Orders (CO)1 to GMP #2 in
the amount of $500,000 for utility conflicts and abandoned underground structures and to
GMP #3 in the amount of $1,900,000 for revisions in the audio/video, canopy gutter system
and unforeseen underground conflicts and abandoned structures. CO 2 for GMP 3 is funded
by the remaining dollars in the overall project budget.
GMP #1, the relocation of Duke Energy infrastructure, has savings of $74,523.58 and GMP
#2, the demolition, sitework and installation of utilities infrastructure portion, has savings of
$813,323.88, for a total of $887,847.46 in project savings, to be transferred to GMP #3 by this
proposed CO 2.
CO 2 will utilize the other GMP savings to fund remaining additional items as necessary to
complete the Project such as canopy conduit structural supports, mega column canopy
cladding, landscape and irrigation changes, additional asphalt at existing Pierce St., soundwall
louver revisions, torchier burner concealment, and portable seating labor, as well as any
additional work associated with changes and additions to prepare the bandshell and site for
the opening of Coachman Park and the upcoming shows.
The overall construction budget for the Project remains at the approved amount of
$71,898,152..
Substantial completion is scheduled for June 28, 2023.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
City of Clearwater, Florida
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type
activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Clearwater,
Florida (the “City”),as of and for the year ended September 30, 2022, and the related notes to the financial
statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of
contents. We have also audited the financial statements of each of the City’s nonmajor governmental
funds, nonmajor enterprise funds, internal service funds and fiduciary funds presented as supplementary
information in the accompanying combining and individual fund statements as of and for the year ended
September 30, 2022, as listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund,
and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Clearwater, Florida, as of September 30, 2022,
and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof, and the
respective budgetary comparison for the General Fund and the Special Development Fund, for the year
then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
In addition, in our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the respective financial position of each of the nonmajor governmental funds, nonmajor
enterprise funds, internal service funds, and fiduciary funds of the City of Clearwater, Florida as of
September 30, 2022, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows
thereof for the year then ended, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards,
issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Our responsibilities under those standards are
further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our
report. We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in
accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit
evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
1
Emphasis of a Matter
Change in Accounting Principle
As discussed in Note I.F. to the financial statements, in the current year the City of Clearwater, Florida
adopted new accounting guidance, GASB No. 87, Leases. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this
matter.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the
design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions
or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as
a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known
information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that
includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and
therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards and Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting
from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the
override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that,
individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on
the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government
Auditing Standards, we:
Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due
to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such
procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is
expressed.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant
accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the
financial statements.
2
Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate,
that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable
period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters,
the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related
matters that we identified during the audit.
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s
discussion and analysis and required supplementary information, as listed in the table of contents, be
presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the
basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers
it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate
operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required
supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States
of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information
and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic
financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements.
We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited
procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the City’s basic financial statements. The accompanying combining and individual nonmajor
fund financial statements and schedules, the schedule of receipts and expenditures of funds related to
the deepwater horizon oil spill, and the schedule of expenditures of federal awards and state financial
assistance, as required by Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative
Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards and Chapter 10.550, Rules of
the Auditor General,are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the
basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from
and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial
statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the
basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such
information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial
statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in
accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion,
the combining and individual nonmajor fund financial statements and schedules, the schedule of receipts
and expenditures of funds related to the deepwater horizon oil spill, and schedule of expenditure of
federal awards and state financial assistance are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the
basic financial statements as a whole.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information included in the annual report. The other information
comprises the introductory and statistical sections but does not include the basic financial statements and
our auditors’ report thereon. Our opinions on the basic financial statements do not cover the other
information, and we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance thereon.
3
In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the
basic financial statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If,
based on the work performed, we conclude that an uncorrected material misstatement of the other
information exists, we are required to describe it in our report.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated April 28, 2023,
on our consideration of the City’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its
compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other
matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over
financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the
effectiveness of the City’s internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an
integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the
City’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis report provides the reader with a narrative overview and analysis of the
financial activities of the City for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022. Management’s Discussion and Analysis
(MD&A) should be read in conjunction with the City’s Transmittal Letter, which begins on page v of this report.
Financial Highlights
The City’s assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded its liabilities and deferred inflows of resources at
the close of fiscal year 2022 by $1.3 billion (net position). Of this amount, $621.4 million (unrestricted net position)
may be used to meet the government’s ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.
The City’s total net position increased by $15.2 million, or 1.2%, from the prior year’s net position. Net position
for governmental activities increased by $14.4 million, or 2.3%, while the business-type net position increased by
$749 thousand, or 0.12%.
Governmental net position increased $14.4 million in fiscal 2022, versus an increase of $87.8 million in fiscal
2021. An increase of $78.1 million in governmental program expenses, most significantly in the public safety,
culture and recreation, and transportation programs, offset by an increase in governmental program revenues of
$22.6 million, resulted in an increase in net program expenses of $55.5 million. Total general revenues for
governmental activities decreased by $16.5 million, or 13.2%, primarily due to a decrease of $25.2 million in
investment earnings due to a decrease in market valuation of the City’s investment portfolio due to rising interest
rates, offset by a $3.7 million increase in property taxes, a $3.3 million increase in sales taxes, and a $1.1 million
increase in state revenue sharing. Transfers from business-type activities decreased $1.3 million.
Business-type net position increased $749 thousand in fiscal 2022, versus an increase of $35.1 million in fiscal
2021. Net revenue from business-type activities, before investment earnings and transfers, decreased $5.9
million, or 12.7%, as the result of an increase in program expenses of $21.6 million, offset by an increase in
charges for services of $13.1 million and an increase in grants and contributions of $2.6 million. The most
significant increase in charges for services was in the Water & Sewer Utility ($5.6 million), where charges for
services increased as a result of a 4% rate increase effective October 1, 2021; the Gas Utility ($4.3 million) where
charges for services increased due to a new rate structure with rate increases effective March 1, 2021 and March
1, 2022; the Solid Waste Utility ($1.5 million) due to a rate increase of 3.75% effective October 1, 2021; and the
Marine Fund ($1.2 million) due to increased resale revenues resulting from higher fuel costs as well as slip rental
increases effective May 2022. General revenues decreased $29.8 million due to a decrease in market valuation
of the City’s investment portfolio due to rising interest rates. Transfers to governmental activities decreased $1.3
million.
As of September 30, 2022, the City’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $194.2
million, an increase of $15.5 million, or 8.7%, in comparison with the prior year. Of this amount, $58.5 million (or
30.1%) is available for spending at the government’s discretion (unassigned fund balance).
As of September 30, 2022, unrestricted fund balance (the total of the committed, assigned and unassigned
components of fund balance) for the general fund was $58.5 million, or 40.5% of total fiscal 2022 general fund
expenditures.
Total outstanding long-term liabilities increased $12.7 million from the prior year, primarily due to an increase in
bonds payable in the amount of $16.4 million and an increase in the net pension liability of $7.0 million, and an
increase in the liability for compensated absences of $320 thousand; offset by a decrease in lease obligations of
$521 thousand, a decrease in claims payable of $325 thousand, a decrease in financed purchase agreements of
$5.8 million and a decrease in the liability for other postemployment benefits of $4.5 million.

Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis (MD&A) is intended to serve as an introduction to the City of Clearwater’s basic financial
statements. The City’s basic financial statements are comprised of three components: 1) government-wide financial
statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also contains other
supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves.
Government-Wide Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements are the statement of net position and the statement of activities. These
statements report information about the City as a whole using accounting methods similar to those used by private-sector
businesses. Emphasis is placed on the net position of governmental activities and business-type activities, and the change
in net position. Governmental activities are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues. Governmental
activities include most of the City’s basic services, including police, fire, public works, parks and recreation, and general
administration. Business-type activities are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees
and charges. The City’s water and sewer system, stormwater system, gas system, solid waste and recycling, marine,
aviation, Clearwater Harbor Marina, and parking system operations are reported as business-type activities.
The statement of net position presents information on all of the City’s assets, deferred outflows of resources,
liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources, with the difference reported as net position. Over time, increases or
decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator as to whether the financial position of the City is
improving or deteriorating. Net position is reported in three major categories: 1) net investment in capital assets;
2) restricted; and 3) unrestricted.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the City’s net position changed as a result of the
year’s activities. All changes in net position are recorded in the period in which the underlying event takes place,
which may differ from the period in which cash is received or disbursed. The Statement of Activities displays the
expense of the City’s various programs net of related revenues, as well as a separate presentation of revenues
available for general purposes.
The government-wide financial statements include not only the City of Clearwater itself but also the Clearwater
Redevelopment Agency (CRA). The CRA, though legally separate, is reported as part of the primary government as a
blended component unit because the City Council serves as the CRA’s governing board and City management has
operational responsibility for the CRA.
Fund Financial Statements
A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for
specific activities or objectives. The fund financial statements provide detailed information about the City’s major funds –
not the City as a whole. Fund accounting helps to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal
requirements. Based on restrictions on the use of monies, the City has established many funds that account for the
multitude of services provided to residents. These fund financial statements focus on the City’s most significant funds:
governmental, proprietary, and fiduciary.
Governmental funds. Governmental funds are used to report most of the City’s basic services. These funds are used
to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial
statements. The funds focus on the inflows and outflows of current resources and the balances of spendable resources
available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a government’s near-term financing
requirements.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements, it is useful
to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental
activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact
of the government’s near-term financing decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund
statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison
between governmental funds and governmental activities.
The City maintains eleven individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the governmental funds
balance sheet and in the governmental funds statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances for the
7
General, Special Development, Special Programs, and Capital Improvement funds, which are considered to be major
funds. Data from the other seven governmental funds are combined into a single aggregated columnar presentation.
Individual fund data for each of these nonmajor governmental funds is provided in Combining and Individual Fund
Statements and Schedules section of this report.
Annual appropriated budgets are adopted for the General Fund, the Special Development Special Revenue Fund, and
the Community Redevelopment Agency Special Revenue Fund. Budgetary comparison statements and/or schedules
have been provided for these funds to demonstrate budgetary compliance.
The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 22-27 of this report.
Proprietary funds. The City maintains two different types of proprietary funds. Enterprise funds are used to report the
same functions presented as business-type activities in the government-wide financial statements. The City uses
enterprise funds to account for the fiscal activities related to water and sewer, gas, solid waste & recycling and stormwater
utilities, along with marine, aviation, parking system, and Clearwater Harbor Marina downtown boat slip operations.
Internal service funds are an accounting device used to accumulate and allocate costs internally among the City’s various
functions. The City uses internal service funds to account for the City’s building maintenance, custodial services, self-
insurance program, risk management program, employee group insurance, vehicle acquisition and maintenance, and
various support activities including data processing, telecommunications, and postal services. All of the City’s internal
service funds predominantly benefit governmental activities and consequently have been aggregated and included within
governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements.
Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial statements, only in more detail.
The proprietary fund financial statements provide separate information for the Water and Sewer Utility, Gas Utility, Solid
Waste & Recycling Utility, and Stormwater Utility enterprise funds, which are considered to be major funds of the City.
The remaining four non-major enterprise funds are combined into a single aggregated presentation in the proprietary fund
financial statements. Similarly, governmental activity internal service funds are aggregated into a single presentation.
Individual fund data for the non-major enterprise funds and the internal service funds is provided in the form of combining
statements in the supplementary information section of this report.
The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 28-39 of this report.
Fiduciary funds. Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the government.
Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial statements because the resources of the fiduciary funds
are not available to support the City’s own programs. The accounting used for fiduciary funds is similar to proprietary
funds.
The City of Clearwater maintains two different types of fiduciary funds. Pension trust funds are used to report resources
held in trust for retirees and beneficiaries covered by the City’s pension plans. A custodial fund is used to report resources
held by the City in a custodial capacity for individuals, private organizations and other governments, such as the
Clearwater Downtown Development Board.
The fiduciary fund statements can be found on pages 40-41 of this report.
Notes to the Financial Statements
The notes to the financial statements provide additional information that is essential for a full understanding of the
information provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements, including the City’s progress in funding its
obligations to provide pension benefits and other post-employment benefits to its employees.
The notes to the financial statements can be found on pages 44-112 of this report.
Other Information
In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents certain required
supplementary information concerning the City’s progress in funding its obligations to provide pension benefits and other
post-employment benefits to its employees.
Required supplementary information can be found on pages 113-119 of this report.

The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with non-major governmental funds, non-major enterprise
funds, and internal service funds, are presented immediately following the required supplementary information.
Combining and individual fund statements can be found on pages 124-143 of this report.
Government-Wide Financial Analysis
The total net position of the City increased in both fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2022. As noted earlier, net position may serve
over time as a useful indicator of a government’s financial position. In the case of the City, assets and deferred outflows
of resources exceeded liabilities and deferred inflows of resources by $1.3 billion at the close of the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2022. This represents an increase of $15.2 million from the September 30, 2021 total net position of $1.3
billion. The City reports positive balances in all three categories of net position, both for the government as a whole as
well as for its separate governmental and business-type activities, for both the current year and the prior year, as indicated
in the following table:
A large portion of the City’s net position ($581.2 million or 45.8%) represents its net investment in capital assets (e.g.,
land, infrastructure, land improvements, buildings, and equipment, less any related outstanding debt used to acquire
those assets). The City uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens, and consequently these assets are not
available for future spending. Although the City’s investment in capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be
noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other resources, since the capital assets
themselves will not be used to liquidate these liabilities.
There was an increase of $13.1 million (4.6%) in net investment in capital assets for governmental activities versus the
previous year. The increase was due to a net increase of $35.6 million in governmental capital and right to use assets for
the current fiscal year, offset by an increase in related bonds payable of $24.9 million net of unspent bond proceeds, an
increase of $1.7 million in accounts and contracts payable, a decrease of $521 thousand in lease obligations, and a
decrease of $5.4 million in financed purchase agreements. The increase in governmental capital and right to use assets
of $35.6 million resulted from capital asset additions of $57.9 million offset by depreciation expense of $22.8 million, and

City of Clearwater, Florida - Net Position
Governmental Activities Business-type Activities Total
9
net capital asset retirements of $850 thousand, in addition to a decrease in right to use assets of $486 thousand, net of
accumulated amortization.
Net investment in capital assets for business-type activities decreased by $706 thousand (0.25%) versus the previous
year due to a net decrease in business-type capital assets of $12.3 million consisting of $21.2 million of net capital asset
additions, offset by $23.1 million in current year depreciation expense, and net capital asset retirements of $10.4 million,
offset by an increase of $2.0 million in accounts and contracts payable, and a decrease of $13.6 million in related debt.
An additional portion of the City’s net position ($65.2 million or 5.2%) represents resources that are subject to external
restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance of unrestricted net position ($621.4 million or 49.0%) may
be used to meet the government’s ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.

Governmental Activities
Net position of governmental activities increased by $14.4 million from $627.2 million to $641.6 million as of September
30, 2022. This represents a 2.3% increase in net position for governmental activities.
Total expenses for governmental activities increased by $78.1 million, or 71.2%, versus the prior year. Although increases
were budgeted in every program due to rising personnel and operating costs, the most significant increases were
experienced in the public safety program ($58.2 million), the culture and recreation program ($8.4 million) and the
transportation program ($6.3 million), largely due to a large increase in the net pension asset and related decrease in
pension expense during fiscal 2021, and subsequent elimination of the net pension asset in fiscal year 2022 due to
investment losses resulting from the investment market downturn.
Total program revenues for governmental activities increased by $22.6 million, or 36.7%, versus the prior year. This
increase was due to a $4.4 million increase in charges for services and an increase in operating grants and contributions
of $18.9 million, offset by a decrease of $774 thousand in capital grants and contributions. The increase in operating
grants and contributions is primarily due to an increase in the general government program of $19.0 million resulting from
the recognition of $22.5 million in Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) authorized by the
American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), offset by a decrease of $3.0 million in the public safety program due to one-time
grants received in fiscal 2021 from Pinellas County for CARES Act funding ($2.0 million) as well as reimbursements from
FEMA of $1.3 million for Hurricane Irma.
Total general revenues for governmental activities decreased by $16.6 million, or 13.2%, primarily due to a decrease of
$25.2 million in investment earnings due to a decrease in market valuation of the City’s investment portfolio resulting from
rising interest rates, offset by a $3.7 million increase in property taxes, a $3.3 million increase in sales taxes, and a $1.1
million increase in state revenue sharing. Because the millage rate did not change from the previous year, the increase
in property taxes is due to an increase in taxable property values of approximately 5.2%, including new construction. The
bulk of the increase is due to increases in current values, while new construction and annexations account for a smaller
portion of the increase. Transfers from business-type activities decreased $1.3 million.
The cost of all governmental activities this year was $187.7 million. This reflects an increase of $78.1 million, or 71.2%,
from the fiscal 2021 total of $109.6 million. However, as shown on the Statement of Activities, the amount that the City’s
taxpayers ultimately financed for fiscal 2022 activities totaled $103.6 million, because some of the cost was paid for by
those who directly benefited from the programs ($50.8 million) or by other governments and organizations that subsidized
certain programs with grants and contributions ($33.3 million). This total of $103.6 million is $55.5 million, or 115.4%,
greater than the fiscal 2021 amount financed from general revenues. A large contributor to this increase was decreased
fiscal 2021 pension expense due to a large increase in the net pension asset, along with fiscal 2022 elimination of the net
pension asset, and increases in salaries and benefits for governmental operations City-wide.

Business-type Activities
Net position for business-type activities increased by $749 thousand, from $625.44 million at September 30, 2021, to
$626.19 million as of September 30, 2022. This represents an increase of 0.12% in net position for business-type
activities. Net revenue from business-type activities, before investment earnings and transfers, decreased from $46.7
million for the prior year to $40.8 million for fiscal 2022. This $5.9 million, or 12.7%, decrease was primarily the result of
an increase in program expenses of $21.6 million, partially offset by an increase in charges for services of $13.1 million
and an increase in grants and contributions of $2.6 million.
Total program revenues for business-type activities increased by $15.7 million, or 7.6%, to $223.0 million versus the prior
year total of $207.3 million, due primarily to an increase of $13.1 million (6.4%) in charges for services primarily due to
scheduled rate increases in the Water and Sewer, Gas, and Solid Waste Utility funds, and an increase of $2.6 million
(100.3%) in capital grants and contributions, primarily due to an increase in contributions from the City of Safety Harbor
for improvements at the Northeast Wastewater Treatment Plant in the Water and Sewer Utility ($3.2 million), offset by a
decrease in funding from the Florida Department of Transportation for the Hangar C Replacement project at the
Clearwater Airpark in the Aviation Fund ($441 thousand) as a result of project completion in fiscal 2022.
Total expenses for business-type activities increased by $18.4 million, or 11.5%, from $160.6 million in fiscal 2021 to
$179.0 million for fiscal 2022. The most significant increases are in the Water & Sewer Utility ($15.2 million), the Gas
Utility ($6.1 million) and the Marine Fund ($1.6 million), offset by a decrease of $1.8 million in the Stormwater Utility. A
significant contributor to the increases was a prior year large increase in the net pension asset, and related decrease in
pension expense, versus an elimination of the net pension asset in fiscal 2022 due to the investment market downturn.
Transfers to governmental activities decreased $1.3 million, or 12.6%.

Financial Analysis of the City’s Funds
As noted earlier, the City uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal
requirements.
Governmental Funds
The focus of the City’s governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of
spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City’s financing requirements. In particular, unassigned
fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government’s net resources available for spending at the end of the
fiscal year. The City reports the General Fund, Special Development Fund, Special Programs Fund, and Capital
Improvement Fund as major governmental funds.
The City’s governmental funds for the year ended September 30, 2022, reflect a combined fund balance of $194.2 million
versus $178.6 million for the prior year, an increase of $15.5 million. A total of $58.5 million, or 30.11%, represents
unassigned fund balance available for spending at the government’s discretion. The remainder of the fund balance is
classified as assigned ($1.3 million or 0.69%) to indicate that it is intended to be used for specific purposes supported by
management’s intent; committed ($45.8 million or 23.59%) to indicate that it can be used only for the specific purposes
determined by a formal vote of the City Council; restricted ($88.5 million or 45.56%) to indicate that it can be spent only
for the specific purposes stipulated by constitution, external resource providers, or through enabling legislation; or
nonspendable ($84 thousand or 0.04%) to indicate that it cannot be spent or is legally or contractually required to remain
intact.
The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the City. Fund balance decreased from $68.4 million to $59.3 million, a
decrease of $9.1 million or 13.4% during the current fiscal year versus an increase of $19.1 million for fiscal 2021.
Expenditures increased $9.3 million (6.9%) due to budgeted increases in every department due to rising personnel and
operating costs, while total revenues increased by $104 thousand (0.07%). A decrease in investment earnings of $9.5
million resulting from a decrease in market valuation of the City’s investment portfolio due to rising interest rates was
largely offset by an increase in taxes primarily due to an increase in taxable property values of approximately 5.2%,
including new construction; an increase in intergovernmental revenues of $2.6 million primarily due to increases in half-
cent sales tax of $1.0 million, state revenue sharing of $1.1 million, and funding for public safety pensions of $375
thousand; an increase of $754 thousand in licenses and permits due to increased building activity; and an increase of
$878 thousand in charges for services representing the first increase since 2019 pre-COVID activity. Transfers in
increased $21.2 million primarily due to a transfer of $22.5 million from the Special Programs Fund to recognize ARPA
funding, while transfers out increased $41.5 million. In addition to $20.1 million transferred back to the Special Programs
Fund and to the Capital Improvement Fund for ARPA-designated initiatives, additional significant transfers out include
$7.4 million to the Capital Improvement Fund for the New City Hall project, $2.8 million to the Capital Improvement Fund
for the Fire Station 46 project, $2.3 million to the Clearwater Harbor Marina Fund for the Clearwater Harbor Marina
Replacement & Upgrade project, $1.0 million to the Capital Improvement Fund for the Traffic Signals project, $700
thousand to the Capital Improvement Fund for the Athletic Field Structures project, $700 thousand to the Administrative
Services Fund for the Citywide Connectivity project, $610,000 to the Capital Improvement Fund for the City Hall Demo
project, and $600 thousand to the Capital Improvement Fund for the Clearwater Municipal Cemetery Renovations project.
The fund balance of the Special Development Fund increased from $14.3 million to $16.3 million, an increase of $2.0
million or 14.3%, during the current fiscal year versus an increase of $2.7 million for fiscal 2021. Total revenues decreased
by $1.5 million, primarily due to decrease in investment earnings of $4.4 million resulting from a decrease in market
valuation of the City’s investment portfolio due to rising interest rates, offset by an increase in infrastructure sales taxes
of $2.3 million due to a rebounding economy, and an increase in licenses, permits and fees of $400 thousand due to
increased building activity. Transfers out decreased by $856 thousand primarily due to a decrease in transfers to the
Capital Improvement Fund to fund projects.
Fund balance in the Special Programs Fund increased from $17.2 million to $25.3 million, an increase of $8.1 million or
47.3% during the current fiscal year versus an increase of $2.8 million for fiscal 2021. Revenues increased $17.1 million,
or 256.6%, primarily in the intergovernmental revenue category, due to the recognition of $22.5 million in Coronavirus
State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) authorized by the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), offset by a
decrease of $2.7 million in investment earnings due to decrease in market value of the City’s investment portfolio resulting
from rising interest rates. Expenditures increased $855 thousand, primarily in the public safety program due to increased
expenditures in law enforcement programs. Transfers in increased $11.2 million, primarily due to ARPA funding received
14
from the General Fund for various programs. Transfers out increased $22.1 million, primarily due to ARPA funds initially
allocated to General Fund government operations as revenue recovery.
The fund balance for the Capital Improvement Fund increased from $67.5 million to $79.3 million during the current fiscal
year. This increase of $11.8 million is primarily the result of current year funding received from other funds in excess of
capital project expenditures. This is typical volatility for the Capital Improvement Fund due to timing differences between
project funding and project spending.
The fund balances for Other (non-major) Governmental Funds posted an increase of $2.7 million (from $11.3 million to
$14.0 million) during the current fiscal year.
Proprietary Funds
The City’s proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the government-wide financial statements, but
in more detail. The City reports the Water and Sewer Utility Fund, the Gas Utility Fund, the Solid Waste & Recycling Utility
Fund, and the Stormwater Utility Fund as major funds.
The Water and Sewer Utility Fund realized a $2.9 million decrease in net position versus a $23.6 million increase for the
prior year. Operating revenues increased by $5.6 million, or 5.8%, while operating expenses increased $16.1 million, or
24.0%. This resulted in a net decrease in operating income of $10.5 million from $29.7 million in fiscal 2021 to $19.2
million in 2022. Additionally, capital grants and contributions increased by $3.2 million, or 185.6%, primarily due to an
increase in contributions from the City of Safety Harbor for improvements at the Northeast Wastewater Treatment Plant,
while investment earnings decreased by $16.5 million (3421.2%) due to a decrease in market valuation of the City’s
investment portfolio resulting from rising interest rates. The increase in operating revenues was primarily the result of a
4.0% rate increase effective October 1, 2021. The most significant increases in operating expenses were in professional
services ($5.6 million) primarily due to the reclassification of abandoned projects from construction in progress to expense,
repairs and maintenance ($9.0 million) due to increased repair and replacement projects, and insurance premiums ($570
thousand) due to increased chargebacks by the Central Insurance Fund due to increased excess insurance premiums
and claims history.
The Gas Utility Fund realized a decrease of $295 thousand in net position versus a $2.9 million increase for the prior year.
Operating revenues increased by $4.3 million, or 10.0%, from the prior year, while operating expenses increased by $6.4
million (17.6%). This resulted in a net decrease in operating income of $2.1 million from $6.5 million in 2021 to $4.4 million
in 2022. Operating revenues increased primarily due to an increase of $4.9 million in charges for services resulting from
a new rate structure with rate increases effective March 1, 2021 and March 1, 2022. The increase in operating expenses
was primarily due to an increase in purchases for resale of $6.4 million resulting from increased natural gas commodity
prices.
The Solid Waste & Recycling Utility Fund realized a $2.2 million increase in net position versus a $3.9 increase in the
prior year. Operating revenues increased by $1.7 million, or 5.9%, while operating expenses decreased by $15 thousand
(0.06%), resulting in an increase of $1.7 million in operating income. The increase in operating revenues was primarily
due to a rate increase of 3.75% effective October 1, 2021, as well as an increase in commercial collections. Operating
expenses remained fairly flat with a decrease of $15 thousand.
The Stormwater Utility Fund realized a decrease in net position of $75 thousand versus a prior year increase of $2.7
million. Operating revenues increased by $52 thousand, or 0.30%, and operating expenses decreased $1.4 million, or
11.8%, resulting in an increase of $1.5 million in operating income. Operating revenues were fairly flat with an increase
of $52 thousand. There were no rate changes in fiscal 2022. Operating expenses decreased primarily due to a decrease
of $204 thousand in interfund service charges, a decrease of $378 thousand in personal services, and a decrease of $804
thousand in repairs and maintenance due to a reduction in repair and replacement projects.

and fees, $622 thousand in intergovernmental revenues, and $589 thousand in miscellaneous revenues.
Fiscal 2022 actual expenditures for the General Fund were $4.9 million (3.3%) less than final budgeted expenditures,
primarily due to budget savings across most City departments for fiscal 2022.

Capital and Right to Use Asset and Debt Administration
Capital and Right to Use Assets
Capital assets include land, buildings and building improvements, improvements other than buildings, machinery and
equipment, and infrastructure. The infrastructure asset category includes long-lived capital assets, typically stationary in
nature, such as roads, sidewalks, and bridges. Right to use assets include buildings and machinery and equipment
accounted for in accordance with GASB Statement No. 87, Leases, implemented in fiscal 2022. As of September 30,
2022, the City reported capital assets and right to use assets totaling $759,662,156 (net of accumulated depreciation and
amortization).

City of Clearwater, Florida - Capital and Right to Use Assets*
(amounts in thousands)
Net capital and right to use assets for the City’s governmental activities increased from $303.1 million (as restated) to
$336.8 million, reflecting an increase of $33.7 million for the current fiscal year. Capital asset additions of $57.9 million
were offset by depreciation expense of $22.8 million, and net capital asset retirements totaling approximately $850
thousand. Right to use assets decreased $486 thousand, net of accumulated amortization, with the implementation of
GASB Statement No. 87 in fiscal 2022. Major fiscal 2022 completed governmental capital projects include $6.7 million
for Crest Lake Park Improvements, $786 thousand for sound mitigation panels at the police firearms training range, and
$552 thousand for the Belmont Park Revitalization project.
Net capital assets for the City’s business-type activities decreased from $435.2 million to $422.8 million, reflecting a
decrease of $12.3 million for the current fiscal year. Capital asset additions of $21.2 million were offset by depreciation
expense of $23.1million, and net capital asset retirements totaling $10.4 million. Major fiscal 2022 completed business-
type capital projects include $1.3 million for the replacement of Hangar C at the airpark and $572 thousand for the

Long-term debt and other long-term liabilities
The City’s total long-term liabilities increased from $224.1 million to $236.8 million, an increase of $12.7 million or 5.7%.
Long-term liabilities for governmental activities increased by $28.2 million, or 49.3%, while long-term liabilities for
business-type activities decreased by $15.5 million or 9.3%. Key factors contributing to these changes included:
The increase in long-term liabilities of $28.2 million for governmental activities is primarily due to an increase in
revenue bonds payable of $30.9 million, an increase in compensated absences of $435 thousand, an increase in
net pension liability of $6.2 million, offset by a decrease in lease obligations of $521 thousand, a decrease in
claims payable of $325 thousand, a decrease in financed purchase agreements of $5.4 million and a decrease
in the liability for other postemployment benefits of $3.1 million.
The decrease in long-term liabilities of $15.5 million for business-type activities is primarily due to a reduction in
revenue bonds payable of $14.5 million, a decrease in financed purchase agreements of $360 thousand, a
decrease in compensated absences of $115 thousand, and a decrease in the liability for other postemployment
benefits of $1.4 million, offset by an increase in net pension liability of $817 thousand.
The City’s bonds payable as of September 30, 2022, consists entirely of revenue bonds and direct placement
bank loans (secured solely by specified revenue sources) with no general obligation debt or special assessment
debt outstanding. Governmental activities revenue bonds totaled $34.7 million while revenue bonds and direct
placement bank loans for business-type activities totaled $140.8 million.
The City’s Charter limits indebtedness to 20% of the assessed valuation of non-exempt real estate. The current debt
limitation is approximately $3.2 billion, which is significantly in excess of the City’s applicable indebtedness of
approximately $169.4 million at September 30, 2022.
Additional information on the City’s long-term debt can be found in Note III (I) of the notes to the financial statements.
Economic Factors and Year 2023 Budgets and Rates
Factors considered in preparing the City of Clearwater’s budget for fiscal year 2023 included:
Taxable property values for 2022 have increased by approximately 13.2%, from $13.4 billion to $15.2 billion,
including new construction. The bulk of this increase ($1.5 billion) is related to increases in current values, while
the value of new construction and annexations totals $249.1 million. Taxable values have experienced a dramatic
rise this year due to the real estate market in the Tampa Bay area. Clearwater residents that qualify for
homestead will recognize the Save Our Homes cap which limits the increase in assessed value to a cap of 3%,
well below the actual growth in the real estate market. Due to the growth in property values, a reduced millage
rate of 5.8850 mills was approved for fiscal year 2022/23, a decrease of .07 mills from the prior year’s rate of
5.955, which the city levied for four consecutive years.
Total full-time equivalent (FTE) positions for 2022/23 are budgeted at 1,876.0 FTEs for all City operations, an
increase of 27.3 FTEs from the 2021/22 amended budget. In the General Fund, this represents a net increase of
38 for a total of 1,151.9 FTEs. All other funds total 724.1 FTEs, a net decrease of 10.7 FTEs from the current
amended budget.
The actuary report for the Employees’ Pension Plan as of January 1, 2022, indicates that a minimum required
City contribution of $11.7 million, 12.44% of total covered payroll, is required for fiscal year 2022/23. This is an
increase of approximately $298,000 from the City’s fiscal year 2021/22 required contribution of $11.4 million. The
plan’s credit balance, which reflects actual contributions in excess of actuarial required contributions in prior years,
increased from $31.55 million to $33.82 million during calendar year 2021, primarily due to interest earned on the
credit balance. This credit balance is available to subsidize volatile employer contribution requirements during
future investment market downturns. Due to negotiated enhancements in Police pension benefits during fiscal
2020, the actuary provides separate contribution rates for non-hazardous and hazardous employees. The
proposed budget plans for a contribution rate of 6.46% for non-hazardous and 20.90% of hazardous covered
payroll in fiscal year 2022/23, as provided in the actuarial valuation. This represents a slight decrease in the
contribution rate for hazardous employees in comparison to the current fiscal year.
For fiscal year 2022/23, the cost of medical care for employees is budgeted at $22.4 million across all City
operations, representing an estimated 15% increase. Included in this total is $1.7 million to fund the operating
costs of the employee health clinic. The budgeted cost for medical care to the General Fund is estimated at $13.9
19
million, an increase of $1.7 million, or 14%, over the current budget. Total cost for health insurance, to include
coverage of dependents and retirees, is estimated at $24.1 million, which is budgeted in the Central Insurance
Fund. Revenues from payroll deductions are budgeted to offset this expense.
A water and sewer fund rate study update was completed in July 2022. Based upon this rate study, 3% annual
increases are planned. This new rate structure was approved by the City Council in September 2022, with annual
3% increases effective each October 1, through fiscal year 2027. A Gas rate study was completed in December
2020, which projected the financial position of the Gas Fund through 2025 and a cost-of-service analysis for each
of the various classes of customers served. A new rate structure was established which was approved by the City
Council in February 2021 including rate increases on March 1, 2021 and March 1, 2022. A solid waste and
recycling rate study update was completed in May 2021. This confirmed the current rate structure which was
approved by the City Council in August 2019. Effective each October 1, rates will increase by 3.75% annually,
through fiscal year 2024. A stormwater rate study was completed in July 2022. Based upon this rate study, 1.75%
annual increases are planned, effective October 1, 2022 through fiscal year 2027. This new rate structure was
approved by the City Council in September 2022, with annual 1.75% increases effective each October 1 through
fiscal year 2027.

Note I – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The City of Clearwater was first incorporated in 1915 and reestablished in 1923 as a municipal corporation by Chapter 9710,
Special Laws of Florida, 1923, as amended. The City is a Florida municipal corporation governed by a five-member City
Council including a mayor-council member. The City has an estimated population of 119,208 and is located in the four-
county Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA), which has an estimated population of
3,285,257.
The financial statements of the City of Clearwater, Florida, reporting entity (City) have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as applied to governmental units. The Governmental Accounting
Standards Board (GASB) is the standard-setting body for governmental accounting and financial reporting. The GASB
periodically updates its codification of the existing Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting standards which,
along with subsequent GASB pronouncements (Statements and Interpretations), constitutes GAAP for governmental units.
The City’s more significant accounting policies are described below.
I.A. Financial Reporting Entity
In evaluating the City as a reporting entity, management has included in the accompanying financial statements the City of
Clearwater (the primary government) and its component units, entities for which the government is financially accountable.
The City has adhered to the standards set forth in GASB Statement No. 14, as amended by GASB Statement No. 39,
GASB Statement No. 61 and GASB Statement No. 90, in reporting the primary government (including blended component
units), the reporting entity, and related organizations.
Blended Component Unit – Clearwater Community Redevelopment Agency: Component units that meet the criteria for
blended presentation are reported in a manner similar to that of the primary government itself. Accordingly, throughout this
report, data presented for the primary government includes data of the following blended component unit. The Clearwater
Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) is a dependent special district created by Local Ordinance by authority of
Chapter 163, Part III, of the Florida Statutes. Although it is legally separate, is reported as if it were part of the City (blended
component unit) because the City Council serves as the governing board of the CRA, and City management has operational
responsibility for the CRA. Therefore, financial statements for the CRA are included in the City’s annual comprehensive
financial report as a governmental non-major special revenue fund and a governmental non-major capital projects fund. In
accordance with Chapter 163.387(8), Florida Statutes, and Rule 10.556, Rules of the Auditor General, separate audited
financial statements are available from the City of Clearwater Finance Department.
Related Organization – Clearwater Housing Authority (CHA): CHA is a dependent special district created by General Law
by authority of Chapter 421, Part I, Florida Statutes. As a public housing authority, CHA receives primary funding from the
Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The City Council appoints the governing board; however,
the City Council is not able to impose its will on the CHA, nor does the City have any responsibility for the budget, debt,
financing deficits, or fiscal management of CHA. Consequently, it is not a component unit of the City of Clearwater. Separate
audited financial statements of CHA as of March 31, 2022 are available from CHA.
Related Organization – Downtown Development Board: The City of Clearwater serves as administrative agent for the
Clearwater Downtown Development Board (DDB). The Downtown Development Board is an independent special district
created by Special Act by authority of Chapter 189.031, Florida Statutes. The DDB is governed by a board elected by its
members, levies ad valorem taxes (0.9700 mills for fiscal 2022) on downtown properties, and is not financially dependent
upon the City. Consequently, it is not a component unit of the City of Clearwater. The DDB’s cash balance held by the City
as administrative agent is reflected in the City’s fiduciary custodial fund. Separate audited financial statements of the DDB
as of September 30, 2022 are available from the City of Clearwater Finance Department.
Jointly governed organization – Florida Gas Utility: The City of Clearwater is a member of the Florida Gas Utility (FGU), a
non-profit municipal public entity created for the primary purpose of reducing the costs of purchased gas for its members.
FGU is a public body corporate and politic pursuant to Section 163.01, Florida Statutes (the Florida Interlocal Cooperation
Act), as amended, and the Interlocal Agreement, dated September 1, 1989, which was subsequently amended by the
City of Clearwater, Florida
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended September 30, 2022
45
Amended Interlocal Agreement on June 1, 1992, amended and restated by the Amended and Restated Interlocal
Agreement, dated July 1, 1996, then amended and restated by the Second Amended and Restated Interlocal Agreement,
dated July 27, 1999, and then amended and restated by the Third Amended and Restated Interlocal Agreement dated
March 25, 2011 (the Interlocal Agreement), executed and delivered among FGU and its members, which include
municipalities, municipal utilities, and an interlocal agreement consisting of such entities. Due to the diverse needs of
municipal utility systems, FGU established itself as a project-oriented agency. Under this structure, each member has the
option to participate in a project. FGU has the authority to, among other things, plan, finance, acquire, construct, manage,
operate, deliver, service, utilize, own, broker, exchange, and distribute natural gas, or other energy and energy services,
pursuant to the Interlocal Agreement. As of September 30, 2022, FGU has 25 members. Separate audited financial
statements of FGU as of September 30, 2022, are available from FGU.
I.B. Basis of Presentation
The City’s Basic Financial Statements contain three components: government-wide financial statements, fund financial
statements, and notes to the financial statements.
I.B.1. Government-wide financial statements. The government-wide financial statements report information on all of the
nonfiduciary activities of the primary government and its component unit using the accrual basis of accounting, which is
similar to the accounting used by private-sector businesses. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes
and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on
fees and charges for support.
The statement of net position presents information on all assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred
inflows of resources of the City. Net position is defined as the residual of all other elements presented in a statement of
financial position. Net position is the difference between (a) assets and deferred outflows of resources and (b) liabilities and
deferred inflows of resources. Changes in net position may serve as an indicator of whether the financial position of the City
is improving or deteriorating.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segment are offset
by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program
revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or
privileges provided by a given function or segment and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the
operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. The operating grants include operating-specific and
discretionary (either operating or capital) grants while the capital grants column reflects capital-specific grants. Taxes and
other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues. All revenues and
expenses are reported as soon as the underlying transaction has occurred, regardless of when cash is received or paid.
As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide financial statements.
Exceptions to this general rule are payments-in-lieu of taxes and other interfund services provided and used. Elimination of
these charges would distort the direct costs and program revenues reported for the various functions concerned.
I.B.2. Fund financial statements. Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds,
and fiduciary funds, even though the latter are excluded from the government-wide financial statements. An emphasis is on
the major funds in either the governmental or business-type categories. Major individual governmental funds and major
individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements. Non-major funds (by category)
are summarized into a single column.
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
The General Fund is the government’s primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the general
government, except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
City of Clearwater, Florida
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended September 30, 2022
46
The Special Development Fund is a special revenue fund used to account for impact fees, property taxes for road
improvements, local option gas taxes, infrastructure taxes, and other revenues which are restricted legally or by City Council
policy to be used for specific capital improvement projects.
The Special Programs Fund is a special revenue fund used to account for grants and contributions, the use of which is
restricted for certain programs.
The Capital Improvement Fund is used to provide combined accounting presentation for all City capital improvement
projects except those financed from proprietary funds or bond proceeds where bond ordinance provisions require the
segregation of bond proceeds in separate funds.
The City reports the following major enterprise funds:
The Water and Sewer Utility enterprise fund is used to account for the financing, construction, operation, and maintenance
of the water and sewer services of the City from charges made to users of the service.
The Gas Utility enterprise fund is used to account for the financing, construction, operation, and maintenance of the gas
services of the City from charges made to the users of the service.
The Solid Waste & Recycling Utility enterprise fund is used to account for the financing, construction, operation, and
maintenance of the solid waste and recycling services of the City from charges made to the users of the service.
The Stormwater Utility enterprise fund is used to account for the financing, construction, operation, and maintenance of the
stormwater management system of the City from charges assessed against each developed property.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating revenues and expenses
generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with the proprietary fund’s
principal ongoing operations. Operating expenses for proprietary funds include the cost of sales and service, administrative
expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as
nonoperating revenues and expenses.
Additionally, the City reports the following fund types:
Internal service funds account for fleet management, information technology, telephone, employee relations, facilities
management, radio communications, insurance, and risk management services provided to other City departments on a
cost reimbursement basis. The Garage, Administrative Services, General Services, and Central Insurance funds primarily
benefit governmental funds and are consequently included as governmental activities.
Pension trust funds account for the financial operation and condition of the Employees’ Pension Plan, the Firefighters’ Relief
and Pension Plan, the Police Supplemental Pension Plan, and the Firefighters’ Supplemental Pension Plan.
The custodial fund accounts for the receipt, custody, and expenditure of monies held temporarily in an agency capacity for
other parties.
The pension trust funds and the custodial fund are fiduciary funds used to account for resources held for the benefit of
parties outside the government. Fiduciary funds are not included in the government-wide financial statements because the
resources of these funds are not available to support the City’s own programs.
I.C. Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual
basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund and fiduciary fund financial statements. Revenues are recorded when
earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes
City of Clearwater, Florida
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended September 30, 2022
47
are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as
soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met.
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the
modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available.
Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to
pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the City considers property tax revenues to be available if they are
collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal year. Other revenues are considered to be available if they are
collected within 90 days of fiscal year-end. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual
accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences and claims and
judgments, are recorded only when payment is due.
Intergovernmental revenues, representing grants and assistance received from other governmental units, are generally
recognized as revenues in the period when all eligibility requirements, as defined by GASB Statement No. 33, have been
met, and funds are available from the grantor agency or government.
Taxes, franchise fees, licenses, and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all considered susceptible to
accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period for the governmental funds. All other revenue
items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the City.
I.D. Statements of cash flows
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, investments with original maturities of three months or less are considered to
meet the definition of cash equivalents. The majority of the investments in which the City's proprietary funds have equity are
held by the City's consolidated pool of cash and investments. Since fund equities in this cash management pool have the
general characteristics of demand deposits in that additional funds may be deposited at any time, and funds may be withdrawn
at any time without prior notice or penalty, each fund's equity account is considered a cash equivalent regardless of the
maturities of investments held by the pool. Funds with deficit (overdraft) positions within the consolidated pool report the deficits
as interfund payables to the City's Capital Improvement Fund.
I.E. Assets, Liabilities, and Net position or Fund Balance
I.E.1. Deposits, pooled cash, and investments
Cash and investments are presented on the balance sheet in the basic financial statements at fair value in accordance with
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
Investments with original maturities of three months or less are considered to meet the definition of cash equivalents. The
majority of the investments are held by the City's consolidated pool of cash and investments. The City utilizes the consolidated
cash pool to account for cash and investments of all City funds other than those that are required by ordinance to be physically
segregated. The consolidated cash pool concept allows each participating fund to benefit from the economies of scale and
improved yield that are inherent to a larger investment pool. Formal accounting records detail the individual equities of the
participating funds. The cash pool utilizes a single checking account for all City receipts and disbursements.
Since fund equities in this cash management pool have the general characteristics of demand deposits in that additional funds
may be deposited at any time and funds may be withdrawn at any time without prior notice or penalty, each fund's equity in
pooled cash account is considered a cash equivalent, regardless of the maturities of investments held by the pool.
All individual fund cash equity in a deficit (overdraft) position with respect to the consolidated cash pool is reclassified at
year-end to short-term interfund payables to the Capital Improvement Fund. The Capital Improvement Fund is the fund
selected by management to reflect the offsetting interfund receivables in such cases.
The City Charter and the current Investment Policy, adopted by the City Council on September 9, 2010, authorize
consolidated cash pool investments in the following: direct federal government obligations; federal agencies and
instrumentalities; SEC registered money market funds with the highest credit quality rating; interest bearing time deposits
City of Clearwater, Florida
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended September 30, 2022

or savings accounts in qualified public depositories; debt issued by the State of Florida or any political subdivision thereof
including pools; securities of open-end or closed-end management-type investment companies as defined in the policy;
collateralized repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements; local government investment pools per Section
163.01, Florida Statutes; and commercial paper of prime quality as defined in the policy. All investments are reported at fair
value.
The City utilizes a conservative investment philosophy when it invests its pooled cash funds in that the return of the principal
is more important than the return on the principal. The City does not actively trade its portfolio and generally holds investments
until maturity. Using a laddered approach to maturities and timing maturities to cash needs, the City does not anticipate selling
investments to meet cash flow requirements.
Under the City’s Investment Policy, a performance measurement standard has been established. The performance measure
chosen is a weighted average of the overnight interest rate; and three-month, six-month, one-year, three-year, five-year, and
ten-year Treasury rates, respectively. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, the performance measure weighted
average was 1.72%. The actual pooled cash earnings performance before bank charges was 0.90%.
Investments being held outside of the consolidated cash pool include escrowed debt service investments and employee
retirement investments. Permissible escrowed debt service investments are specifically defined in each individual debt
instrument, but generally follow the same limitations applicable to consolidated cash pool investments. The City maintains
four different employee retirement programs, and each one has its own list of permitted investments. Generally, each plan
allows the same type of investments as the consolidated cash pool, but additionally allows some portion of its assets to be
invested in corporate bonds, notes of corporations, and stocks that are listed on one or more of the recognized national or
international stock exchanges.
I.E.2. Receivables and payables
Activity between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of the fiscal year
are referred to as either “due to/from other funds” (i.e. the current portion of interfund loans) or “advances to/from other
funds” (i.e. the non-current portion of interfund loans). All other outstanding balances between funds are reported as “due
to/from other funds.” Any residual balances outstanding between the governmental activities and business-type activities
are reported in the government-wide financial statements as “internal balances”.
All trade and property tax receivables are shown net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts. Trade accounts receivable
less than 60 days are included in the trade accounts receivable allowance for uncollectible accounts at the five-year average
loss experience rate of 2.14%. Trade accounts receivable in excess of 60 days are reserved at 40%. The property tax
receivable allowance for uncollectible accounts is 10% of the current year portion of the receivable, and 30%, 50%, 70%,
90%, and 95% for the receivable portions attributable to the prior five years respectively (fiscal 2017 thru 2021), and 100%
of the receivable attributable to fiscal years 2016 and prior.
Property tax revenue is recognized in the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied, provided the availability test is met, in
conformance with National Council on Governmental Accounting Interpretation No. 3. Property taxes for the following fiscal
year are levied by City Council action in September of each year. This levy is apportioned to property owners based on the
previous January 1 assessed values. Tax bills are mailed out on or about November 1, and the collection period runs from
November 1 through March 31. On April 1, unpaid property taxes are considered delinquent and become a lien. Tax
certificates are sold in June for real property with delinquent taxes.
Since taxes are not collected prior to November 1, the City does not record revenue for advance collections. Uncollected
taxes receivable at year-end are recorded, with an appropriate allowance for estimated uncollectible amounts. The net
amount deemed to be collectible but not current (not expected to be collected within sixty days after the close of the fiscal
year) is shown as deferred inflows in the appropriate fund.
All delinquent property taxes, except those levied specifically for the restricted purposes of financing activities accounted
for in the Special Development Fund, are recorded in the General Fund. Property tax revenues are recognized in the General
City of Clearwater, Florida
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended September 30, 2022
49
Fund and the required transfers to the appropriate debt service or pension fund are recorded as transfers from the General
Fund.
The City is permitted by State law to levy ten mills without referendum. Additional millage not subject to the ten mill limitation
is authorized if approved by referendum, for a period not to exceed two years. The tax rate of 5.9550 mills for the year
ended September 30, 2022 is the same rate that was levied the in the prior year.
Water, gas, stormwater, solid waste and recycling charges to customers are based on actual consumption. Consumption is
determined on a monthly cycle basis. The City recognizes the unbilled consumption as revenue as of September 30th.
I.E.3. Inventories and prepaid items
Inventories of proprietary funds are stated at cost and valued on the first-in first-out (FIFO) basis. In governmental funds, the
majority of inventory items are accounted for under the purchase method, which provides that expenditures are recognized
when the inventory item is purchased. The only governmental fund inventory that is accounted for under the consumption
method is the General Fund inventory of items for resale at the City’s public fishing pier. Under the consumption method, the
expenditure/expense is recognized when the inventory item is sold (or consumed).
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items in both
government-wide and fund financial statements. The cost of prepaid items is recorded as expenditures/expenses when
consumed rather than when purchased.
I.E.4. Restricted assets
Certain resources of the City’s enterprise funds are classified as restricted assets. Restricted assets include: Water and Sewer
improvement charges restricted by the authorizing ordinances to the construction of additions and improvements to the water
and sewer systems; Water & Sewer Utility, Gas Utility and Solid Waste & Recycling Utility restricted customer deposits; assets
of the Water & Sewer Utility, Gas Utility, and Stormwater Utility funds restricted under the provisions of authorizing ordinances
for revenue bonds to the payment of future revenue bond debt service, system construction, and renewals and replacements;
and the net pension assets of the enterprise and internal service funds that are in an irrevocable trust restricted for pensions.
I.E.5. Capital and right to use assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and certain infrastructure assets, (e.g. roads, bridges, etc.) are
reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activities columns in the government-wide financial statements.
Capital assets, as defined by the City, are assets with an initial individual cost of more than $5,000 (amount not rounded)
and useful life greater than one year. Individual assets that cost less than $5,000, but that operate as part of a network
system, may be capitalized in the aggregate, using the group method. Additionally, higher thresholds for capitalization apply
to the following categories: land improvements, $50,000; buildings, building improvements, and utility systems, $100,000;
intangible assets, $100,000; and infrastructure, $500,000. Capital assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated
historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at acquisition value at the date of donation.
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend asset lives are
not capitalized. When City crews contribute to the completion of a capital asset, time and materials are capitalized to the
project cost.
Right to use assets, which include buildings and equipment, are amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the related
lease.
City of Clearwater, Florida
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended September 30, 2022
50
Property, plant, equipment, and intangible assets of the primary government are depreciated using the straight-line method
over the following estimated useful lives:
Assets Years
Buildings 10 – 40
Public domain infrastructure 20 – 40
Utility systems 18 – 40
Machinery & equipment 3 – 15
Vehicles 5 – 10
Intangible assets 5 – 20
I.E.6. Compensated absences
It is the City’s policy to permit employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation and sick pay benefits. Vacation and sick
leave “caps” vary depending upon an employee’s bargaining unit, hire date, etc., but generally employees may accumulate
vacation time not exceeding 320 hours and sick leave not exceeding 1,560 hours. Upon retirement from City service a qualified
employee is paid for all vacation time not exceeding the applicable vacation “cap” and one-half of accumulated unused sick
leave not exceeding the sick leave cap (i.e. maximum pay-out of 780 hours for an employee with a 1,560 hour cap). The City
accrues for all earned but unused vacation pay up to the applicable cap and the portion of unused sick leave estimated to be
payable upon retirement. The current portion of compensated absences is the amount estimated to be used in the following
year. For governmental activities, compensated absences are liquidated within the same governmental funds where the
employee vacation and/or sick leave was earned.
I.E.7. Long-term obligations
In the government-wide financial statements, and proprietary fund types in the fund financial statements, long-term debt and
other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental activities, business-type activities, or
proprietary fund type statement of net position. Bond premiums and discounts are deferred and amortized over the life of the
bonds using the straight-line method. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable unamortized bond premium or discount.
Bond issuance costs are expended when incurred.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts during the current period.
The face amount of debt issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as
other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or
not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenditures.
I.E.8. Deferred outflows/inflows of resources
In addition to assets, the statement of net position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources.
This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption on net assets that applies
to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense) until that time.
Similarly, in addition to liabilities, the statement of net position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows of
resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net assets
that applies for a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The City
City of Clearwater, Florida
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended September 30, 2022
51
reports deferred inflows related to pensions and other post-employment benefits (OPEB) in the government-wide and all
enterprise and internal service fund statements. Deferred inflows related to business tax receipts are reported in both the
government-wide and governmental fund statements, while deferred inflows related to property taxes, code enforcement liens,
mortgage notes, and intergovernmental revenues are reported in the governmental fund financial statements, but not the
government-wide statements, when the receivable is recorded but the revenue is not available.
Deferred outflows related to deferred amounts on bond refundings are reported in the Water and Sewer Utility, Gas Utility and
Stormwater Utility funds, as well as in the government-wide statements. These amounts represent the difference between the
reacquisition price and the net carrying amount of the old debt, which is amortized over the remaining life of the old debt or the
life of the new debt, whichever is shorter.
Changes in total pension liability arising from the differences between expected and actual experience, changes of assumption
of future economic and demographic factors and the net difference between projected and actual earnings on pension plan
investments are recognized as deferred outflows of resources or deferred inflows of resources and are reported in all enterprise
and internal service funds, as well as in the government-wide statements. Changes between expected and actual experience
and changes of assumptions are recognized in pension expense over a closed period equal to the average of the expected
remaining service lives of all active and inactive employees, while the difference between projected and actual earnings is
recognized in pension expense over a closed five-year period.
Differences between expected and actual experience and changes in assumptions related to OPEB are recognized as deferred
outflows of resources or deferred inflows of resources and are reported in all enterprise and internal service funds, as well as
in the government-wide statements, using a systematic and rational method over a closed period equal to the average of the
expected remaining service lives of all employees that are provided with OPEB through the OPEB plan (active employees and
inactive employees), determined as of the beginning of the measurement period. At October 1, 2021, the beginning of the
current measurement period, the average of the expected remaining services lives for purposes of recognizing the applicable
deferred outflows and inflows of resources established in the current measurement period was 7.1 years.
Deferred inflows related to leases in which the City is the lessor are recorded in the General Fund, Water and Sewer Utility
Fund, Marine Operations Fund, and the government-wide statements. The deferred inflow of resources is recorded in an
amount equal to the corresponding lease receivable at inception of the lease, and is recognized as revenue in a systematic
and rational manner over the term of the lease.
I.E.9. Net position flow assumption
Sometimes the City will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both unrestricted resources and restricted resources, such
as restricted bond or grant proceeds. In order to calculate the amounts to report as restricted net position and unrestricted net
position in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements, a flow assumption must be made regarding the
order in which the resources are considered to be applied. It is the City’s policy to consider restricted net position to have been
depleted before unrestricted net position is applied.
I.E.10. Fund balance flow assumption
Sometimes the City will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted and unrestricted resources (the total of
committed, assigned and unassigned fund balance). In order to calculate the amounts to report as restricted, committed,
assigned and unassigned fund balance in the governmental fund financial statements, a flow assumption must be made
regarding the order in which the resources are considered to be applied. It is the City’s policy to consider restricted fund balance
to have been depleted before using any of the components of unrestricted fund balance. Further, when the components of
unrestricted fund balance can be used for the same purpose, committed fund balance is depleted first, followed by assigned
fund balance. Unassigned fund balance is applied last.
City of Clearwater, Florida
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended September 30, 2022

I.E.11. Fund balance policies
The fund balance of governmental funds is reported in various classifications that comprise a hierarchy based primarily on
the extent to which the government is bound to observe constraints imposed upon the use of the resources reported in the
governmental funds. Each classification of fund balance is based on the relative strength of the constraints that control how
specific amounts can be spent. The order of spending follows the same hierarchy. Restricted resources are applied first
when expenditures are incurred for purposes for which either restricted or unrestricted (committed, assigned or unassigned)
amounts are available. Similarly, within unrestricted fund balance, committed amounts are reduced first followed by
assigned, and then unassigned amounts when expenditures are incurred for purposes for which amounts in any of the
unrestricted fund balance classifications could be used.
Nonspendable fund balance represents amounts that cannot be spent, such as inventories, prepaid amounts, and amounts
that are legally or contractually required to remain intact.
Restricted fund balance includes amounts that can be spent only for the specific purposes stipulated by constitution,
external resource providers, or through enabling legislation.
Committed fund balance includes amounts that can be used only for the specific purposes determined by the adoption of
an ordinance prior to the end of the fiscal year by the City Council, the highest level of decision-making authority. Once
adopted by ordinance, a commitment can only be revised or removed by the adoption of another ordinance.
Assigned fund balance includes amounts that are intended to be used by the government for specific purposes but do not
meet the criteria to be classified as restricted or committed because they are supported by management’s intent rather than
a formal action of the City Council. The Finance Director is authorized by Section 2.511 of the Code of Ordinances to assign
fund balance. Since assignments only exist temporarily, no further action is required to revise or remove them.
Unassigned fund balance includes amounts not classified above. Positive unassigned fund balance may only be reported
in the general fund. In all other funds, unassigned fund balance is limited to negative residual fund balances.
Minimum fund balance. Per City Council Policy, a minimum General Fund unassigned balance of 8.0% of the subsequent
year’s budgeted expenditures must be maintained as a contingency fund for unanticipated financial needs. In addition, 0.5%
of the subsequent year’s budgeted expenditures must be maintained to fund unanticipated retirements of employees
residing in General Fund departments. Budgeted appropriations will maintain these minimum reserves of 8.5% of
subsequent year’s budgeted expenditures, with excess reserves available for specific capital improvement projects or other
“one-time” needs.
Stabilization arrangement. As of September 30, 2022, the City Council has not established a separate revenue
stabilization reserve.
I.E.12. Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from the estimates.
I.F. Adoption of new GASB pronouncements
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, the City implemented the following GASB pronouncements:
GASB Statement No. 87, Leases. Issued June 2017, this Statement increases the usefulness of governments’ financial
statements by requiring recognition of certain lease assets and liabilities for leases that previously were classified as
operating leases and recognized as inflows of resources or outflows of resources based on the payment provisions of the
City of Clearwater, Florida
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended September 30, 2022
53
contract. It establishes a single model for lease accounting based on the foundational principle that leases are financings
of the right to use an underlying asset. Under this Statement, a lessee is required to recognize a lease liability and an
intangible right-to-use lease asset, and a lessor is required to recognize a lease receivable and a deferred inflow of
resources, thereby enhancing the relevance and consistency of information about governments’ leasing activities.
Note II – Stewardship, Compliance, and Accountability
II.A. Budgets and budgetary accounting
Annual budgets are legally adopted for the General Fund, Special Development special revenue fund, and the Community
Redevelopment Agency special revenue fund. The budgets for the General Fund and the Special Development Fund are
adopted on a basis consistent with GAAP, and appropriations lapse at year-end. The Community Redevelopment Agency
(CRA) Fund annual budget is adopted by the trustees of that agency in accordance with state law. The level of budgetary
control is the total fund. The CRA Fund Budget is adopted on a basis consistent with GAAP, and all appropriations lapse at
year-end.
The level of budgetary control established by the legislative body, the level on which expenditures may not legally exceed
appropriations, is the individual fund. In accordance with provisions of Ordinance 5025-90 and with Section 2.519(4) of the
Clearwater Code, the City Manager may transfer part or all of any unencumbered appropriation balance among programs
within an operating fund, provided such action does not result in the discontinuance of a program. Such transfers must be
included in the next budget review presented to the City Council. Upon detailed written request by the City Manager, the
City Council may by ordinance transfer part or all of any unencumbered appropriation balance from one fund to another.
As established by administrative policy, department directors may transfer money from one operating code to another within
a program without a formal written amendment. Formal requests for budget amendments from department directors are
required for transfers, capital expenditures, and reserves. Thus, certain object classifications within departmental and/or
program budget appropriations are subject to administratively imposed controls, in addition to the legal controls imposed by
City Council action described above.
Budget amounts presented in the accompanying financial statements reflect all amendments adopted by the City Council
and the governing board of the component unit. All amendments were adopted in conformance with legal requirements.
Individual amendments, as well as the net effects of all amendments during the fiscal year, were not material in relation to
the original appropriations for the governmental funds in the aggregate.
Budgets for the Capital Projects Funds, the Special Programs Fund, the SHIP Local Housing Assistance Trust Fund, and the
Pinellas County Local Housing Assistance Trust Fund are adopted on a multi-year completed program basis, where budgetary
appropriations do not lapse at year-end, but may extend across two or more fiscal years. A comparison of annual results with
these budgets would not be meaningful and is therefore not included in this report.
All City Council adopted budgets are integrated into the formal accounting system to allow for monthly comparison of
projected and actual results in all funds for which budgets are adopted.
Note III – Detailed Notes on All Funds
III.A. Deposits and investments
Investments with original maturities of three months or less are considered to meet the definition of cash equivalents. The
majority of the investments in which the City's proprietary funds have equity are held by the City's consolidated pool of cash
and investments. Since fund equities in this cash management pool have the general characteristics of demand deposits, in
that additional funds may be deposited at any time, and funds may be withdrawn at any time without prior notice or penalty,
City of Clearwater, Florida
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended September 30, 2022
54
each fund's equity account is considered a cash-equivalent regardless of the maturities of investments held by the pool. Funds
with deficit (overdraft) positions within the consolidated pool report the deficits as interfund payables to the City's Capital
Improvement Fund.
Fair Value and Net Asset Value
The City of Clearwater and the City’s pension plans categorize fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy
established by GAAP. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to measure the fair value of the securities and
assets. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets; Level 2 inputs are significant other observable
inputs; and Level 3 are significant unobservable inputs. Certain investments held by the City and the pension plans are
valued at net asset value (NAV) per share when an investment does not have a readily determined fair value, provided that
the NAV is calculated and used as a practical expedient to estimate fair value in accordance with GAAP requirements.
Equity and Fixed Income Securities – Equity securities, classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, are valued using
prices quoted in active markets issued by pricing vendors for these securities. Fair value is defined as the quoted market
value on the last trading day of the period. These prices are obtained from various pricing sources by the City’s custodian
bank, Wells Fargo, for the City’s pooled cash investments. Prices for pension investments are obtained by the custodial
agents for each of the pension plans. Debt and equity securities classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are valued
using prices determined by matrix pricing techniques maintained by various pricing vendors for these securities. Matrix
pricing is used to value securities based on the securities’ relationship to benchmark quoted prices. Debt and equity
securities classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, when applicable, are securities whose stated market price is
unobservable by the marketplace; often these securities are priced by the issuer or industry groups.
Real Estate Funds – Investments in real estate funds are valued at estimated fair value, as determined in good faith by the
General Partner (GP). These investments are initially valued at cost with subsequent adjustments that reflect third party
transactions, financial operating results, and other factors deemed relevant by the GP. These assets are valued at NAV.
Deposits
All cash of the City is entirely insured either by federal depository insurance or via banks’ participation as qualified public
depositories pursuant to Florida Statutes, Chapter 280, “Security for Public Deposits”. The City is required to verify that
monies are invested in “qualified public depositories” as defined in Florida Statutes section 280.02.
Pooled Cash and Investments
To increase returns and minimize fees, the City follows the practice of pooling available cash and investments of all funds,
with the exception of retirement plan investments and assets held under Bond Trust Indenture Agreements. Please refer to
Note I.E.1. for a discussion of allowable investments under the pooled cash and investments investment policy. All
investments at year-end were in compliance with the pooled cash and investments investment policy.

Interest Rate Risk – Pooled Cash and Investments:
As a means of limiting exposure to fair value losses arising from rising interest rates, the City’s pooled cash investment
policy prohibits investments in securities maturing more than fifteen years from the date of purchase, unless matched to a
specific cash flow requirement. Additionally, the policy allows no more than 10% of the portfolio to have maturities in excess
of ten years unless specifically matched against a debt or obligation. Finally, the investment policy states that it is the City’s
intent to keep the weighted average maturity to three years or less, except for temporary situations due to market conditions
and/or cash needs when the average maturity may exceed three years but shall not exceed five years. Weighted average
maturities for the City’s pooled cash investments are indicated in the table above.
Credit Risk – Pooled Cash and Investments:
The City’s pooled cash investment policy, in accordance with Florida Statutes, allows investments to direct obligations of the
United States, federal agencies, debt issued by the State of Florida or any political subdivision, and commercial paper of prime
quality of the highest letter and numerical rating as provided by at least one nationally recognized rating service. Ratings for
the City’s pooled cash investments are disclosed in the preceding table.
Concentration of Credit Risk – Pooled Cash and Investments:
The City’s pooled cash investment policy limits the investment in any one issuer to 40% of the portfolio. Concentrations of
the various issuers are disclosed in the preceding table.
Custodial Credit Risk – Pooled Cash and Investments:
Monies on deposit with financial institutions are held in qualified public depositories pursuant to State of Florida Statutes,
Chapter 280, which provides protection against any loss to public depositors. Consistent with the City’s investment policy,
investment securities owned by the City are held by the City’s custodian in the City’s name and all purchases use the “delivery
versus payment” procedure.
Fair Value and Net Asset Value Measurement:
The City has adopted the provisions of GASB Statements No. 72 and No. 79 and fully disclosed in the notes to the financial
statements the fair value hierarchy and the methods of valuing the related investments as required under generally accepted
accounting principles. The City of Clearwater categorizes fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established
by GAAP. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to measure the fair value of the securities and assets. Level
1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets; Level 2 inputs are significant other observable inputs; and
Level 3 are significant unobservable inputs. Certain investments held by the City are valued at net asset value (NAV) per
share when an investment does not have a readily determined fair value, provided that the NAV is calculated and used as
a practical expedient to estimate fair value in accordance with GAAP requirements.
Fixed Income Securities – Fair value is defined as the quoted market value on the last trading day of the period. These
prices are obtained from various pricing sources by the City’s custodian bank, Bank of America, for the City’s pooled cash
investments. Debt securities classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are valued using prices determined by matrix
pricing techniques maintained by various pricing vendors for these securities. Matrix pricing is used to value securities based
on the securities’ relationship to benchmark quoted prices.

Pension Plan Assets
The City reports four pension funds in the accompanying financial statements. Each of the plans has a separate governing
board of trustees, a separate investment policy, and differing investment restrictions/risks. Consequently, each is disclosed
separately below. All investments at year-end were in compliance with the respective plan investment policies. Please refer
to Note I.E.1. for a discussion of allowable investments under the pension plans.
Investments are reported at fair value or net asset value, as disclosed, and are managed by third party money managers.
The City’s independent custodian and the individual money managers price each instrument (using various third-party
pricing sources) and reconcile material differences. Investments in certain alternative investments are valued using the net
asset value (NAV) per shares outstanding.

Interest Rate Risk – Employees’ Pension Plan:
As a means of limiting exposure to fair value losses arising from rising interest rates, the Employees’ Pension Plan
investment policy limits the investment in fixed income investments to no more than 40% of the portfolio. There are no limits
related to weighted average maturities due to the long-term nature of pension plan investing.
Credit Risk – Employees’ Pension Plan:
The Employees’ Pension Plan investment policy limits credit risk by restricting equity investments to corporations that are
listed on one of the national or international stock exchanges. Additionally, fixed income corporate bonds must carry an
“investment grade” rating as established by one of the nationally recognized rating agencies. As of September 30, 2022,
the Plan had $5,461,764 invested in domestic corporate bonds that had fallen below investment grade (Ba1 and lower) as
the result of investment downgrades, as indicated on the previous table. The respective money managers notified the Plan
administrators of the downgrades and the planned courses of action related to these securities on a timely basis, consistent
with the policy’s individual manager guidelines.
Concentration of Credit Risk – Employees’ Pension Plan:
The Employees’ Pension Plan investment policy limits concentration of credit risk by limiting the investment in common
stock or capital stock of any one corporation to 3% of the plan equity assets, unless due to a higher percentage included in
a nationally recognized market index at least as broad as the Standard and Poor’s Composite Index of 500 companies, or
upon a specific finding by the investment committee that such higher percentage is in the best interest of the fund.
Additionally, the individual manager guidelines associated with the policy provide further diversification of both equity and
fixed income investments to minimize concentration of credit risk.
Custodial Credit Risk – Employees’ Pension Plan:
This is the risk that in the event of the failure of a counterparty, the Plan will not be able to recover the value of its investments
that are in the possession of an outside party. Consistent with the Plan’s investment policy, investments are held by the
Plan’s custodial bank and registered in the Plan’s name.
Foreign Currency Risk – Employees’ Pension Plan:
Risk of loss arises from changes in currency exchange rates. The Employees’ Pension Plan investment policy does not
have a formal policy to limit foreign currency risk, other than a guideline of no more than 25% of the plan assets invested in
international equities.

As a means of limiting exposure to fair value losses arising from rising interest rates, the Firefighters’ Relief and Pension
Plan investment policy stipulates that the Plan does not trade securities and will typically hold securities to maturity. There
are no limits related to weighted average maturities due to the long-term nature of pension plan investing.
Credit Risk – Firefighters’ Relief and Pension Plan:
The Firefighters’ Relief and Pension Plan investment policy limits credit risk by restricting the fixed income investments to
investment grade securities, per a nationally recognized ranking agency.
Custodial Credit Risk – Firefighters’ Relief and Pension Plan:
Monies on deposit with financial institutions are held in qualified public depositories pursuant to State of Florida Statutes,
Chapter 280, which provides protection against any loss to public depositors. Consistent with the City’s investment policy,
investment securities owned by the Plan are held by the City’s custodian in the City’s name and all purchases use the
“delivery versus payment” procedure.
Concentration of Credit Risk – Firefighters’ Relief and Pension Plan:
The Firefighters’ Relief and Pension Plan investment policy limits concentration of credit risk by limiting the recommended
target allocation of the plan to domestic fixed income to 70% of the portfolio, with the remainder of the portfolio allocated to
the City’s well-diversified pooled cash portfolio (see above disclosure). There are no additional limitations on concentrations
with individual issuers or agencies due to the relatively small portfolio of this closed pension plan.
Foreign Currency Risk – Firefighters’ Relief and Pension Plan:
The Firefighters’ Relief and Pension Plan investment policy does not permit investment in foreign fixed income or equity
securities.

and secured by a lien upon and pledge of the (i) payments received by the City from the State of Florida pursuant to Section
212.20, Florida Statutes (State payments); and (ii) payments received by the City from Pinellas County, Florida pursuant to
the Interlocal Agreement dated December 1, 2000 (County payments). The pledge of the State Payments and County

of Florida, nor any political subdivision thereof has pledged its faith or credit or taxing power to the payment of the bonds.
However, the City has pledged, per a municipal bond insurance debt service agreement, to supplement State and County

payable solely from non-ad valorem revenues of the City and secured by a covenant to budget and appropriate funds
sufficient for the payment of principal and interest and certain other required payments in each fiscal year. The pledge of

indebtedness of the City.

such rates, and collect such fees, rentals and other charges for the services and facilities of the System and revise the same
from time to time whenever necessary, which will provide gross revenues in each fiscal year sufficient to pay the cost of
operation and maintenance of the system; one hundred fifteen percent (115%) of the bond service requirement becoming
due in such fiscal year on the outstanding bonds; plus one hundred percent (100%) of all reserve and other payments
required to be made pursuant to the ordinances authorizing the bonds. The City further covenants that such rates, fees,
rentals and other charges will not be reduced so as to render them insufficient to provide gross revenues for such purpose.
The Gas System Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2013 and Series 2014, are limited obligations of the City payable solely
from and secured by a lien upon and pledge of the net revenues of the City’s gas system (System). The pledge of the

the bonds include, among other things, an obligation of the City to fix, establish, revise from time to time whenever
necessary, maintain and collect always, such fees, rates, rentals and other charges for the use of the product, services and
facilities of the System which will always provide revenues in each year sufficient to pay, and out of such funds pay, 100%
of the cost of operations and maintenance of the System in such year and all reserve and other payments provided for in
the ordinances authorizing the bonds, along with one hundred twenty five percent (125%) of the bond service requirement
due in such year on all outstanding bonds.

of September 30, 2022. The vehicles and equipment were purchased by the city with cash and subsequently
provided as collateral to the lender. The city has the option to prepay without any prepayment penalty. In the event
that insufficient funds are appropriated in any fiscal year to pay amounts due, the agreement will terminate on the
last day of the fiscal year for which payments were made, and the city will surrender the vehicles and equipment to
the lender. In the event of default, the lender’s sole remedy is to sue for compensatory damages, which are agreed
to be any accrued and unpaid rental payments, provided that the vehicles and equipment are surrendered to the
lender in proper working order.
On February 1, 2019, City Council approved a Master Lease Purchase Agreement with SunTrust Equipment
Finance and Leasing Corp. (now Truist Equipment Finance Corp.) to provide a line of credit in the amount of

prepay in whole but not in part on any payment date as set forth in the applicable Payment Schedule, if and to the
extent the Payment Schedule permits such prepayment, with written notice given not less than thirty days prior to
the payment date. In the event that that sufficient funds are not appropriated for the following fiscal year, the city
will be deemed to not have renewed the agreement, the agreement will terminate at the end of the current fiscal
year, and the city will be required to return the equipment to the lender. In the event of default, the lender may, at
its option, declare all payments due to the end of the current budget year to be immediately due and payable,
terminate the agreement and repossess any or all of the equipment, or exercise any other remedy available at law
or in equity with respect to such default.
The reduction in financed purchases of $5,406,861 includes $4,696,060 for internal service funds and $710,801 for

Note IV - Other Information
IV.A. Risk management
The City is self-insured within certain parameters for losses arising from claims for general liability, auto liability, police
professional liability, public official’s liability, property damage, and workers' compensation. Insurance coverage has been
maintained by the City to pay for or indemnify the City for losses in excess of certain specific retentions and up to specified
maximum limits in the case of claims for liability, property damage, and workers' compensation. The liability excess coverage
is $5,000,000 per occurrence ($10,000,000 aggregate) with self-insured retention of $500,000. There is workers’
compensation coverage to the statutory limit, with self-insured retention of $600,000. The property damage excess coverage
is $100 million per occurrence, except $75 million for the perils of Named Storm (per occurrence), Flood (annual aggregate)
and Earth Movement (annual aggregate) after either a $100,000 self-insured retention for perils other than a named storm
or 5% self-insured retention for named storm and High Hazard Flood with a $100,000 minimum. Settled claims have not
exceeded excess coverage in any of the past three years.
On October 17, 2012, City Council authorized a partial self-insured funding arrangement with Cigna for health insurance
effective for the plan year beginning January 1, 2013. Per this arrangement, the City is self-insured for medical and
pharmacy claims up to $250,000 per person per year. The City has purchased stop loss insurance from Cigna which covers
50% of individual claims for any amount of the claim between the amounts of $250,000 and $350,000 and covers 100% of
individual claims for any amount of the claim exceeding the amount of $350,000 per person per year. In accordance with
the fully insured arrangement between the City and Cigna prior to January 1, 2013, the City has no liability for health
insurance claims incurred prior to this date. The City estimates a liability for health insurance claims incurred but not yet
paid as of September 30, 2022 in the amount of $1,462,151.
The transactions relating to the self-insurance program are accounted for in the Central Insurance Fund, an internal service
fund. The billings by the Central Insurance Fund to the various operating funds (the interfund premiums) are based on
actuarial estimates of the amounts needed to pay prior and current year claims. The claims liability reported as of September
30, 2022, is based on the requirements of GASB Statement No. 10, which requires that a liability for claims be reported if
information prior to the issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that a liability has been incurred at
the date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.

Changes in the claims liability amounts in fiscal years 2022 and 2021 were:
IV.B. Employee retirement systems and pension plans
IV.B.1. Defined benefit pension plans
The City contributes to two separate single-employer, self-administered defined benefit pension plans covering approximately
three-fourths of all City employees. The Employees' Pension Plan covers all permanent, full-time City employees who
successfully pass the required physical examination, except for firefighters employed prior to July 1, 1963, and certain
unclassified (primarily managerial) employees. The Firefighters’ Relief and Pension Plan covered eligible firefighters hired prior
to July 1, 1963 and is closed to new entrants. As indicated, both plans are self-administered, and the administrative costs of
the plans are financed from the respective plan assets.
Each pension fund is accounted for as a pension trust fund; therefore, each is accounted for in substantially the same manner
as proprietary funds with an economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Fund assets,
primarily investments, are valued at fair value for balance sheet purposes. Investment values are determined using the
estimated fair value determined by averaging estimated fair values obtained from three or more nationally recognized
brokers. For purposes of measuring the net pension liability (asset), deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of
resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the plans, and additions
to/deductions from the plans’ fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by the
plans. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and
payable in accordance with the benefit terms.
Detailed information about each plan’s fiduciary net position is available on pages 113-118 and pages 142-143 of this
Annual Comprehensive Financial Report. Neither of these plans issues a stand-alone financial report.
The Employees' Pension Plan is authorized by and operates under the provisions of Sections 2.391 through 2.428 of the
Municipal Code of the City of Clearwater. Sections 2.391 through 2.401 apply to those participants who attained a vested
benefit and terminated employment prior to January 1, 2013. Sections 2.410 through 2.428 apply to those participants who
are actively employed by the City of Clearwater as of or after January 1, 2013. Plan provisions have been duly approved as
required by the voters in referendums. Since the last valuation, there have been no revisions in benefits. The investment
rate assumption has been reduced by 0.05% from 6.55% to 6.50%. This assumption change caused the required City
contribution to increase by $224,890, or 0.24% of covered pensionable payroll.
Management of the Employees’ Pension Plan is vested in the Clearwater City Council, serving as the Pension Trustees.

Plan membership/Employees covered by benefit terms. As of the most recent actuarial valuation date, January 1, 2022,
the membership of the Employees’ Pension Plan was as follows:
Employees'
Pension Plan
Retirees and beneficiaries currently receiving benefits 1,390
Terminated employees entitled to benefits but not yet receiving them 79
Active employees 1,510
Total number of participants 2,979
Benefits provided. The normal retirement benefit is a monthly benefit equal to 2.75% of average monthly compensation (2.00%
for participants in non-hazardous duty hired on or after January 1, 2013) for the highest five of the final ten years of service
multiplied by the number of years of service to date of retirement. Eligibility for normal retirement occurs upon completion of
10 years of service and the attainment of age 65, or completion of 20 years of service and the attainment of age 55, or
completion of 30 years of service regardless of age, for employees hired before January 1, 2013 who are engaged in non-
hazardous duty. For employees hired on or after January 1, 2013 who are engaged in non-hazardous duty, eligibility for normal
retirement occurs upon completion of 25 years of service and attainment of age 60, or completion of 10 years of service and
attainment of age 65. For those engaged in hazardous duty, eligibility occurs upon completion of 20 years of service or upon
completion of 10 years of service and attainment of age 55. For all hazardous duty participants and non-hazardous duty
participants eligible to retire as of January 1, 2013, the normal monthly benefit is payable for the life of the participant and will
continue, after the participant's death, to be paid at the same amount for 5 years to the surviving spouse; after 5 years, the
survivor annuity is reduced to 50% of the original amount and ceases upon death or remarriage of the spouse. For non-
hazardous duty participants not eligible to retire as of January 1, 2013, the normal benefit is a monthly annuity paid for the life
of the participant. There are several other benefit payment options that are computed to be the actuarial equivalent of the
normal benefit. The plan provides for an annual cost of living adjustment (COLA) of up to 1.5% for benefits accrued prior to
January 1, 2013. For non-hazardous duty participants, there is a five-year delay until the cost of living increase is applied to
benefits accrued after January 1, 2013, and for Hazardous Duty Firefighters, there is no cost of living increase for benefits
accrued after January 1, 2013. For Hazardous Duty Police Officers actively employed on or after January 1, 2020, there is a
COLA of 1.5% on all benefits accrued after January 1, 2013. For all non-grandfathered Hazardous Duty Police Officers (not
eligible for normal retirement on January 1, 2013), there will be a five-year delay (after the retirement date) until the COLA is
applied to benefits accrued after January 1, 2013. The plan also provides for disability and death benefits, vesting after
completion of 10 years of service and the refund of employee contributions in case of a non-vested termination. Covered
employees in non-hazardous duty and employees in hazardous duty who are eligible to retire as of January 1, 2013 contribute
8% of their compensation. Covered employees in hazardous duty who are not eligible to retire as of January 1, 2013 contribute
10% of their compensation. It is the City's obligation to provide a sufficient additional contribution to maintain the actuarial
soundness of the fund but, in any event, not less than 7% of participating employee’s compensation per the ordinance
governing the plan.
Contributions. Employer contributions are made in equal installments during the first two quarters of the fiscal year based
upon the actuarially determined percentage of payroll and the actual payroll payable at the time contributions are made. The
minimum required City contribution is 7% of covered payroll. Member contributions are made continuously throughout the year.
Investment policy. The Employees’ Pension Plan Statement of Investment Objectives and Guidelines was adopted by the
Pension Trustees on December 16, 2019. The investment policy requires an annual review by the Pension Investment
Committee with a recommendation to the Pension Trustees to confirm or revise. The following was the Trustees’ adopted
asset allocation policy as of September 30, 2022:
City of Clearwater, Florida
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended September 30, 2022
93
The Employees’ Pension Plan has invested in real estate, timber, and infrastructure limited partnership funds. The strategies
of these funds are long term and illiquid in nature. As a result, investors are subject to redemption restrictions which generally
limit distributions and restrict the ability of limited partners to exit a partnership investment prior to its dissolution. These
investments partnerships are valued using their respective net asset value (NAV) and are audited annually. The most
significant input into the NAV of such an entity is the fair value of its investment holdings. These holdings are valued by the
general partners on a quarterly or semi-annual basis, in conjunction with management and investment advisors, and
consultation with valuation specialists. The management assumptions are based upon the nature of the investment and the
underlying business. The valuation techniques vary based upon investment type and involve a certain degree of expert
judgment. All timber acquisitions are valued per an independent expert third party appraisal within one year of acquisition
and similar independent third-party appraisals of fair value are conducted at least every three years thereafter. The
infrastructure fund’s assets are valued by international recognized accounting firms and/or internationally recognized
appraisal firms (independent appraisers) on a quarterly basis, with the independent appraisers rotated at three-year
intervals.
Concentrations. As of September 30, 2022, the Employees' Pension Plan held no investments (other than U.S. Government
or U.S. Government guaranteed obligations) in any one organization comprising 5% or more of the net position available
for benefits.
Rate of return. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, the annual money-weighted rate of return on investments of
the Employees’ Pension Plan, net of pension plan investment expense, was (15.65)%. The money-weighted rate of return
expresses investment performance, net of investment expense, adjusted for the changing amounts actually invested.
Net pension liability. The components of the net pension liability of the City for the Employees’ Pension Plan as of
September 30, 2022, were as follows:
Total pension liability 1,089,718,239$

Actuarial assumptions. The total pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of January 1, 2022 (Valuation
Date), using the following actuarial assumptions, applied to September 30, 2022 (Measurement Date):
Inflation 2.25%
Salary increases Hazardous Duty - 4.50% to 7.60%, including 2.25% inflation,
based on merit and seniority
Non-Hazardous Duty - 2.75% to 6.50%, including 2.25% inflation,
based on merit and seniority
Investment rate of return 6.50% net of investment expense
The actuarial assumptions used in the January 1, 2022 valuation were based on the results of an Experience Investigation
for the Five Years Ended December 31, 2017.
Since the last valuation, the investment return assumption was reduced by 0.05% from 6.55% to 6.50%. This assumption
change caused the required City contribution to increase by $224,890, or .024% of covered pensionable payroll.

Long-term expected rate of return. The long-term expected rate of return on investments of the Employees’ Pension Plan
was determined using a building-block method in which expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension
plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These real rates of return are combined
to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset
allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation. For each major asset class that is included in the pension plan’s
target asset allocation as of September 30, 2022, these best estimates are summarized in the following table:
Long-Term Expected
Asset Class Real Rate of Return
Core Fixed Income 1.10%
Global Equity 4.43%
U.S. Large Cap Equities 4.65%
U.S. Mid Cap Equities 4.90%
U.S. Small Cap Equities 4.90%
International Equities 3.65%
Emerging Markets Equities 4.65%
Private Real Estate and REITS 5.90%
Discount rate. A single discount rate of 6.50% was used to measure the total pension liability. The single discount rate was
based on the expected rate of return on pension plan investments of 6.50%. The projection of cash flows used to determine
single discount rate assumed that plan member contributions will be made at the current contribution rate and that employer
contributions will be made at rates equal to the difference between actuarially determined contribution rates and the member
rate. Based on these assumptions, the pension plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all
projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension
plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.
Sensitivity of the net pension liability (asset) to changes in the discount rate. The following presents the Employee Pension
Plan’s net pension liability (asset), calculated using a single discount rate of 6.50%, as well as what the plan’s net pension
liability (asset) would be if it were calculated using a single discount rate that is one percent lower or one percent higher.

Benefits provided. The normal retirement benefit is a monthly benefit in the amount of 50% of the prevailing wage at the
date of retirement of the lowest rank held by the participant during the three years immediately preceding retirement plus
2% of such prevailing wage for each year of service in excess of 20 years up to a maximum of 60%. Participants retiring at
the age of 65 years are entitled to a benefit of 60% of the prevailing wage of the lowest rank held by the participant during
the three years immediately preceding retirement. The ending rate of pay specified above may not exceed the highest rate
of pay for the rank of Captain. Eligibility for normal retirement occurs upon completion of 20 years of service or attainment
of age 65. The monthly benefits are payable for the life of the participant and continue, after the participant's death, to be
paid to certain eligible surviving beneficiaries at an amount that is one-half of the amount received by the participant.
Benefits are also provided for children of the deceased participant who are less than 18 years of age subject to certain
limitations as to amount. The plan also provides for disability and death benefits and for vesting upon completion of at least
12 years of service. The plan provides for post-retirement cost of living increases equal to the increase in the prevailing
wage for the rank at which the participant retired with a limitation for those retiring on or after January 1, 1972, of 100% of

Long-term expected rate of return. Because the Firefighters’ Relief and Pension Plan is limited to investments in fixed
income securities and pooled cash, the long-term expected rate of return will approximate the discount rate of 2.50%.
Discount rate. A discount rate of 2.50% was used to measure the total pension liability. The discount rate was based on
the actuary’s expectation of future yields and consideration of the City’s projection of future weighted yield based on current
asset holdings.
Sensitivity of the net pension liability (asset) to changes in the discount rate. The following presents the Firefighters’ Relief

IV.B.2. Police Supplemental Pension Fund
A supplemental defined contribution pension plan exists for all eligible policemen, which is funded by earmarked revenues
received from the State and is administered by the Board of the Police Supplemental Pension Plan. The revenues received
from the State are allocated among eligible police officers based on the number of days employed as Clearwater Police
Officers. These revenues received from the State of Florida “on-behalf” of the City’s employees, which comprise the plan
contributions, totaled $1,248,522 for the year ended September 30, 2022, and are obtained from an eighty-five one
hundredths of one percent (0.85%) excise tax on the gross receipts from premiums collected on casualty insurance policies
covering property within the City's corporate limits. These monies were recognized as General Fund revenues and General
Fund police department expenditures in the current year. The current year contributions represent 5.58% of covered
employees’ gross payroll. The fair value of cash and investments as of September 30, 2022, totaled $14,661,444.
The Police Supplemental Pension Fund is authorized by and operates under the provisions of Sections 2.471 through 2.480
of the Municipal Code of the City of Clearwater and Chapter 185 of Florida Statutes. Under the plan provisions, the total monies
received during each fiscal year, after payment or provision for all costs and expenses of management and operation of the
plan, are allocated to participants based on the total number of shares to which each participant is entitled. Each participant is
entitled to one share in the fund for each day of service as a police officer of the City.
All police officers, as defined in Section 26.70(g) of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Clearwater, who are elected,
appointed, or employed full-time by the City are eligible to participate in the plan. There are no employee contributions to
the supplemental plan. Benefits are fully vested for a lump sum distribution after twenty years from the date of hire, with
provision for partial vesting after ten or more years under the plan. Accumulated benefits are payable in full in case of death
while employed by the City or in case of total and permanent job-related disability. Non-vested participants' account values
upon termination of employment during any fiscal year are added to the monies received during that fiscal year for allocation
to the remaining participants in the plan based on total days worked.
Plan assets, primarily investments, are valued at fair value for balance sheet purposes. Investment values are determined
using the estimated fair value determined by averaging estimated fair values obtained from three or more nationally
recognized brokers.
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, the gross payroll of the covered officers was $22,359,515; the City's total gross
payroll for the same period was $114,426,922.
Since the entitlement to benefits is based entirely upon the allocation of monies received by the plan to the participants' share
accounts, there is no actuarial liability on the part of either the State or the City.
IV.B. 3. Firefighters’ Supplemental Pension Fund
A supplemental defined contribution pension plan exists for all eligible firefighters, which is funded by earmarked revenues
received from the State and is administered by the Board of the Clearwater Firefighters’ Supplemental Pension Plan. The
revenues received from the State are allocated among eligible firefighters based on the number of days worked during the
previous year. These revenues received from the State of Florida “on-behalf” of the City’s employees, which comprise the
plan contributions, amounted to $1,393,032 in the year ended September 30, 2022, and are obtained from a one and eighty-
five one hundredths percent (1.85%) excise tax on the gross receipts from premiums collected on property insurance policies
covering property within the City's corporate limits. These monies were recognized as General Fund revenues and General
Fund fire department expenditures in the current year. The current year contributions represent 7.47% of covered employees’
gross payroll. The fair value of cash and investments as of September 30, 2022, totaled $19,344,796.
City of Clearwater, Florida
Notes to the Basic Financial Statements
For the Year Ended September 30, 2022
101
As the plan is described as a money purchase pension plan, whereby contributions are allocated based on the number of
days worked during the fiscal year ended September 30, and interest earnings allocated based on the beginning balances
in each participant's account, there is no actuarial liability on the part of the State or the City.
The Firefighters’ Supplemental Pension Fund is authorized by and operates under the provisions of Sections 2.441 through
2.455 of the Municipal Code of the City of Clearwater and Chapter 175 of Florida Statutes. Eligibility requires two years of
credited calendar year service as a firefighter with concurrent participation in the Employees' Pension Plan. There is no
employee contribution to the supplemental plan, and benefits are vested for a lump sum distribution at ten years unless
there is early retirement, disability or death. Non-vested participants' account values upon termination of employment are
reallocated among the remaining participants based on days worked during the previous year.
Plan assets, primarily investments, are valued at fair value for balance sheet purposes. Investment values are determined
using the estimated fair value determined by averaging estimated fair values obtained from three or more nationally
recognized brokers.
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, the gross payroll of covered firefighters was $18,647,955; the City's total
gross payroll for the same period was $114,426,922.

IV.B.5. 401(a) Defined Contribution Plan
For all management employees not covered under either of the defined benefit pension plans, the City provides pension
benefits through a 401(a) defined contribution plan. In a defined contribution plan, benefits depend solely on amounts
contributed to the plan plus investment earnings. Employees are participants from the date of employment and are fully
vested upon enrollment. The plan is totally contributory on the part of the City in an amount equal to 15% of compensation
on behalf of the City Manager and the City Attorney and 8% of compensation on behalf of all other management contract
employees and Assistant City Attorneys. The City makes bi-weekly contributions to the Trust throughout the plan year to
meet its funding obligations under the plan. Plan provisions and contribution requirements are established and may be
amended by the City Council.
MissionSquare Retirement, the trustee for the defined annuity, offers participants a variety of investment options.
The City’s total gross payroll for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022 was $114,426,922. The Plan members’ payroll
for the same period totaled $5,301,938. The City’s contribution, per the above contribution rates, totaled $460,102.
IV.B.6. Deferred compensation plan
The City offers its employees a deferred compensation plan created in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 457.
The plan, available to all City employees, permits them to defer a portion of their salary until future years. Participation in the
plan is optional. The deferred compensation is not available to employees until termination, retirement, death, or unforeseeable
emergency.
Effective January 1, 1997, Federal legislation converted the Section 457 deferred compensation assets from City assets to
employee assets. As a result of these changes, plan assets are no longer subject to the claims of the City’s general creditors.
Consequently, these assets are no longer reported in the accompanying financial statements, in compliance with GASB
Statement No. 32.
IV.C. Post-employment Benefits Other Than Pension (OPEB)
Plan Description. The City of Clearwater administers a single-employer defined benefit healthcare plan (the “Plan”) that
provides medical insurance benefits to its employees and their eligible dependents. Because the City provides a medical
plan to active employees of the City and their eligible dependents, the City is also required by Section 112.0801, Florida
Statutes, to provide retirees with the opportunity to participate in this Plan. While the City does not directly contribute towards
the costs of retiree premiums via an explicit subsidy, the ability of retirees to obtain health insurance coverage at a group
rate which includes active employees, constitutes a significant economic benefit to retirees, or an “implicit” subsidy. This
implicit subsidy is considered an “other post-employment benefit” (OPEB) obligation of the City. Since the City is currently
funding this OPEB obligation on a pay-as-you-go basis, there are no plan assets accumulated in a trust that meets the
criteria in paragraph 4 of GASB Statement No. 75. The OPEB expense recognized each fiscal year is equal to the change
in the total OPEB liability from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, not including the impact of employer
contributions, adjusted for deferred recognition of the liability.
Benefits provided. Benefit provisions for the Plan are established by the City Council and may be amended by the City
Council. The retirees pay the full group premium amount for health insurance with no explicit subsidy from the City.
Additionally, the City provides and pays for $1,000 of term life insurance for retirees who retired before October 1, 2008.
The term life insurance benefit provision was also established, and may be amended, by action of the City Council.
Contribution rates for the Plan are established on an annual basis by the City Council. Eligible retirees and their covered
dependents receiving benefits contribute 100% of their premium costs for health insurance and 0% of the cost for the $1,000
term life insurance.

covered by the benefit terms:
Inactive plan members or beneficiaries currently receiving benefits 563
Inactive plan members entitled to but not yet receiving benefits74
Active plan members 1,569
Total plan members 2,206
Total OPEB Liability. The City’s total OPEB liability of $23,056,033 was measured as of September 30, 2022 and was
determined by an actuarial valuation as of January 1, 2022. The Total OPEB Liability was rolled forward 9 months from the
Valuation Date to the Measurement Date using standard actuarial techniques.
Actuarial assumptions and other inputs. The total OPEB liability in the January 1, 2022 actuarial valuation was determined
using the following actuarial assumptions and other inputs, applied to all periods included in the measurement, unless
otherwise specified:
Actuarial cost method Entry age normal
Inflation 2.25%
Discount rate 4.40%
Healthcare cost trend rates Based on the Getzen Model, with trend starting
at 5.75% and gradually decreasing to an
ultimate trend rate of 3.99%
The discount rate is based on Fidelity Investments’ “20-Year Municipal GO AA Index” as of the most recent date available
on or before the measurement date.
Mortality rates are the same as used in the July 1, 2021 actuarial valuation of the Florida Retirement System for non-K-12
Instructional Regular Class and Special Risk Class members. These rates were taken from adjusted Pub-2010 mortality
tables published by the Society of Actuaries with generational mortality improvements using Scale MP-2018. Adjustments
to referenced tables are based on the results of a statewide experience study covering the period 2013 through 2018.

IV.D. Securities lending transactions
The City of Clearwater Employees’ Pension Plan participates in securities lending transactions, as authorized by the Pension
Trustees on April 14, 2003, via a Securities Lending Authorization Agreement with Northern Trust Company, which is also the
pension plan’s custodian. Securities are loaned versus collateral that may include cash, U.S government securities, and
irrevocable letters of credit. U.S. securities are loaned versus collateral at 102% of the market value of the securities plus any
accrued interest. Non-U.S. securities are loaned versus collateral at 105% of the market value plus any accrued interest. The
Plan’s investment policy places no restrictions on the amount of securities that can be loaned.
Non-cash collateral cannot be pledged or sold unless the borrower defaults. All securities loans can be terminated on demand
by either the lender or the borrower. The average term for the pension plan’s loans as of September 30, 2022 was 100 days.
Cash open collateral is invested in a short term investment pool, the Northern Trust Collective SL Core Short Term Investment
Fund (CORECOLL). The fund had an average weighted maturity, lower of maturity date or interest reset date, of 26 days, and
an average weighted maturity, maturity date, of 102 days, as of September 30, 2022.
There were no significant violations of legal or contractual provisions, nor any borrower or lending agent default losses known
to the securities lending agent. The Plan did not impose any restrictions on the amount of loans made by Northern Trust during
fiscal year 2022.

There are no dividends or coupon payments owing on the securities lent. Securities lending earnings are credited to
participating clients on approximately the fifteenth day of the following month.
Indemnification deals with the situation in which a client's securities are not returned due to the insolvency of a borrower
and Northern Trust has failed to live up to its contractual responsibilities relating to the lending of those securities. Northern
Trust’s responsibilities include performing appropriate borrower and collateral investment credit analyses, demanding
adequate types and levels of collateral, and complying with applicable Department of Labor and Federal Financial
Institutions Examination Council regulations concerning securities lending.
The following is a summary of securities on loan and their collateral at fair value:

IV.E. Contingencies and commitments
Pollution Remediation Claims Liabilities
Pursuant to GASB Statement No. 49, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pollution Remediation Obligations, the City is
required to analyze known polluted sites to determine future component cost outlays, including estimation where required,
for pollution remediation. As of September 30, 2021, accruals totaled $457,288, consisting of $173,022 for the Harbor Drive
Fill Area site, $22,398 for the Joe DiMaggio Sports Complex site, and $261,868 for assessment and remediation at the Gas
Plant site (see the Soil and groundwater contamination site note below).
During fiscal year 2022 there was an increase to estimates and contractual commitments in the amount of $72,400, and
reductions/payments totaled $73,087. As of September 30, 2022, accruals totaled $456,601, consisting of $169,169 for the
Harbor Drive Fill Area site, $8,008 for the Joe DiMaggio Sports Complex site, and $279,424 for assessment and remediation
at the Gas Plant site.
In addition to the above sites for which accruals exist, the City has 14 other sites that have known contamination from
petroleum products, metals, arsenic, chlorine or coal tar. Seven of these sites are on the State of Florida Petroleum Clean-
up Program. When any of these seven sites will be scheduled for cleanup cannot be determined at this time. They are under
monitoring plans or are awaiting responses from the FDEP on data submitted by the City. Any additional cleanup costs for
these sites cannot be estimated at this time.
The Solid Waste Fuel Site was added to the list in 2022 due to a fuel spill resulting from a failed tank component. The site
is still being assessed for cleanup costs, and remains under a Restrictive Covenant with FDEP. Soil and groundwater
impacts are thought to be minimal.

On November 19, 2013, the FDEP approved the certification of closure construction completion of the former fill area at
Philip Jones Field. However, this site remains on the list as it includes the Harbor Drive Fill Area. Remediation of Phillip
Jones Ballfield is complete, and the site is currently under monitoring and maintenance. A closure plan for the Harbor Drive
Fill Area has been approved by FDEP, and cleanup is scheduled for 2023.
Soil and groundwater contamination site
The City is the owner of property located at 400 North Myrtle Avenue, Clearwater, Pinellas County, Florida ("Property").
The Property occupies approximately six acres and is currently used by the City Gas Division (“CGS”) as its administrative
offices and operating facility. The City operated a manufactured gas plant at the Property from approximately 1929 to 1960.
Following the discovery in June 1990 of soil and groundwater impacts at the Property allegedly resulting from the prior
operation of the manufactured gas plant, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection ("FDEP") directed the City to
implement measures to delineate the area and vertical extent of the impacts at the Property and, if necessary, implement
appropriate remedial actions.
Contamination assessment activities were initiated at the Property in 1995. On April 17, 1996, the City executed an
Intergovernmental Agreement with FDEP, governing the scope of assessment and remediation work performed at the
Property. The material terms and conditions of the Intergovernmental Agreement require the City to perform contamination
assessment activities to delineate the area and vertical extent of soil and groundwater impacts and, if necessary, to
remediate such impacts to the extent required by Florida law.
Field activities to delineate the extent of impacts were performed from 1995 to 2003. The results of the final field work are
presented in a Supplemental Assessment Report dated May 2003, in which the City's consultant concluded that field
activities to delineate the extent of soil and groundwater impacts were complete and that a risk assessment should be
undertaken to evaluate an appropriate remedy for the reported impacts.
By letter dated April 19, 2004, FDEP directed the City to install two additional monitoring wells within the source area on
site to delineate the vertical extent of groundwater impacts. The City and FDEP previously discussed the potential harm to
the underlying aquifer that may result from the installation of monitoring wells through a source area and the underlying clay
confining unit during a meeting with FDEP held on November 29, 2003. Based on the advice of its environmental consultant
and other specialists consulted concerning this issue, the City has consistently maintained that the installation of the
additional monitoring wells requested by FDEP will likely provide a pathway for the migration of impacts into the aquifer
underlying the clay confining unit that is otherwise not presently impacted by the former operations of the MGP based on
existing perimeter monitoring well data. The City responded to the FDEP by letter dated April 29, 2004, requesting that
FDEP advise the City whether the directive to install the additional vertical extent wells was deemed by FDEP to be final
agency action that would otherwise be subject to review in an administrative proceeding. The City's April 29, 2004 response
included a request for an extension of time to file an administrative proceeding in the event that FDEP deemed the April 19,
2004 FDEP communication to be final agency action.
During fiscal 2005, the Myrtle Avenue Utility and Roadway Widening project began, requiring extensive dewatering during
construction. Consulting, equipment, laboratory, permitting, and labor costs for dewatering in areas where there was
suspected or known contamination from the former MGP plant were charged to the City of Clearwater Gas Division. All
activities related to the Myrtle Avenue dewatering project were documented in the “Supplemental Site Assessment Report
– North Myrtle Ave Roadway Corridor” dated March 2007.
On January 17, 2008, FDEP issued a letter to the City stating FDEP was willing to replace the need for additional vertical
delineation wells with periodic sampling of existing deep wells, as long as they remain unaffected by the contaminants of
concern on the site. In May 2009, FDEP issued a status report on all Manufactured Gas Plant sites in Florida. The report
referenced the January 17, 2008 letter and reaffirmed FDEP’s agreement to forego additional on-site vertical delineation if
the City continued to monitor the perimeter wells on the facility. On June 22, 2009, the perimeter monitoring wells were

tested, and the results were reported to FDEP. On February 3, 2010, FDEP issued a letter that formally accepted Clearwater
Gas System’s Contamination Assessment Report (CAR) and required no further site assessment activities. Furthermore,
the DEP required CGS to re-sample all monitoring wells on the site within 60 days of the February 3, 2010 letter.
In May 2010, CGS issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) to prepare a Feasibility Study, for DEP approval, that would offer
a long-term corrective action plan for the gas plant site. Arcadis, Inc. was selected to conduct the Feasibility Study; however,
two months into the project the City’s environmental legal counsel recommended an alternate method of site remediation.
They proposed that the City work with the University of Waterloo (Canada) to treat the contaminated soils with sodium
persulfate, a chemical oxidant, which would stop the off-site groundwater impacts that were experienced on the Pinellas
County Health Department site. Chemical oxidation is accepted as a very effective method of dealing with Manufactured
Gas Plant residuals. This project was approved by the City Council in January 2011, and was scheduled to last
approximately 6 years at an estimated cost of $600,000.
In May 2017 it was determined that the University of Waterloo project was not working as originally projected. The sodium
persulfate was not oxidizing the source material enough to grant site closure. Therefore, it was determined to abandon the
project and look at other remedies for the site. The City’s environmental legal counsel proposed to convert the site to a
Brownfield site in order to obtain full site closure. This would be done in conjunction with the site redevelopment of all CGS
buildings at 400 North Myrtle Avenue.
On December 7, 2018, City Council approved a Brownfield Site Rehabilitation Agreement (BSRA) with the FDEP. Under
this agreement, no further active remediation will be required, and the site will be closed with a restrictive covenant to include
an impervious cap to address remaining soil contamination at the site and prohibit the withdrawal of groundwater for any
purpose within the site property. The groundwater use restriction will also be required to be imposed on the adjacent Pinellas
County Health Department property.
A Site Environmental Management Plan (“SEMP”) was subsequently created to provide guidance to contractors performing
work at the site for encountering, handling and managing contaminated soils. In addition, a Remedial Action Plan (“RAP”)
was administered in March 2018, which includes the SEMP, and Engineering Control Maintenance Plan and a Declaration
of Restrictive Covenant (“DRC”) that will be required by the FDEP to obtain final site closure. Once the CGS redevelopment
project is complete, the City will request final site closure. Full site closure is anticipated in fiscal 2025.
Benefits of closing the site under the Brownfield Program include liability projections to the City as set forth in F.S. Section
376.82(2)(a) and the opportunity for the City to obtain voluntary cleanup tax credits (“VCTC”) for the cost of constructing the
impervious cap and completion of site closure activities. For eligible costs recovered by the City through VCTC’s, the City
is able to then sell the VCTC’s on the market. Such sales typically net 80-90% recovery for municipalities taking similar
actions. The City was awarded $744,076 in tax credits for calendar years 2017-2020. The City issued Bid #44-21 to sell
the tax credit certificates issued by FDEP. Fallbrook Tax Credits LLC submitted the highest bid of $0.9112 on the dollar,
which yielded $678,002 from the sale of the tax certificates.
The City has pursued insurance claims under certain insurance policies covering the Property for the period from June 1961
through July 1986. On September 17, 2001, the City agreed to reduce its claim against Southern American Insurance
Company ("SAIC"), the sole remaining excess carrier with the City, at an undiscounted value of $300,000. In December
2007, the liquidator managing the SAIC liquidation made an initial payment to the City in the amount of $96,000. In
September 2008, a second distribution payment of $174,000 was issued to the City. Finally, in December 2009, the City
received a payment of $30,000 for a total collection amount of $300,000. In total, the City has recovered $787,500 on all
outstanding insurance claims.
From 1993 through September 30, 2022, the City has spent $1,760,753 on MGP assessment activities, which includes both
environmental consultant and legal fees.

Grant Revenues
During the current fiscal year and prior fiscal years, the City received revenues and contributions related to grants from the
State of Florida, the federal government, and other grantors. These grants are for specific purposes and are subject to
review and audit by the grantor agencies. Such audits could result in requests for reimbursement for expenditures disallowed
under the terms of the grants. Based upon prior experience, City management believes such disallowances, if any, will not
be significant.
Encumbrances

2 The definition of Covered Payroll for GASB Statement Nos. 67 and 68 was changed under GASB Statement
No. 82 to be the pensionable earnings for members of the Plan. As a result, the Covered Payroll amount
previously reported for fiscal year 2015 has been revised to reflect this change.
Hazardous Duty Employees: PUB-2010 Headcount Weighted Safety Healthy
Employee Mortality Table (for pre-retirement mortality) and the PUB-2010
Headcount Weighted Safety Healthy Retiree Mortality Table (for post-
retirement mortality), with separate rates for males and females and ages set
forward one year, with mortality improvements projected to all future years
after 2010 using Scale MP-2018. For males, the base mortality rates for
both pre-retirement and post-retirement mortality are based on the Below
Median Healthy tables. These are the same rates used for Special Risk
Class members of the Florida Retirement System (FRS) in the July 1, 2019
valuation, as mandated by Chapter 112.63, Florida Statutes.
Effective with the January 1, 2021 valuation, the investment return
assumption was reduced from 6.65% to 6.55%. Additionally, the mortality
tables and improvement scales were updated to reflect the updated mortality
assumptions used in the July 1, 2019 Florida Retirement System (FRS)
Actuarial Valuation, as mandated by Florida Statues Chapter 112.63(1) (f).
Please refer to the January 1, 2021 valuation report dated April 26, 2021 for

the Measurement Date using standard actuarial techniques.
Salary increase rates used in the January 1, 2022 actuarial valuation of the City of
Clearwater Employees' Pension Plan.
Retirement rates used in the January 1, 2022 actuarial valuation of the City of
Clearwater Employees' Pension Plan.
Mortality rates are the same as used in the July 1, 2021 actuarial valuation of the

Class members. These rates were taken from adjusted PUB-2010 mortality tables
published by the Society of Actuaries with generational mortality improvements using
Scale MP-2018. Adjustments to referenced tables are based on the results of a
statewide experience study covering the period 2013 to 2018.
Based on the Getzen Model, with trend starting at 5.75% and gradually decreasing to
an ultimate trend rate of 3.99%.
- Medical claims costs and premiums were updated based on actual claims and
premium information provided for this valuation. This change increased the Total
OPEB Liability.
Based on the 2013 SOA Study "Health Care Costs - From Birth to Death".
Administrative expenses are included in the per capita health costs.
The following assumption changes have been reflected in the Schedule of Changes
in the Total OPEB Liability for the measurement period ending September 30, 2022:
- The discount rate was changed from 2.19% as of the beginning of the measurement
period to 4.40% as of September 30, 2022 (based on the Long-Term Municipal Bond
rate). This change significantly decreased the Total OPEB Liability.

Note: Overlapping governments are those that coincide, at least in part, with the geographic boundaries of
the city. This schedule estimates the portion of the outstanding debt of those overlapping governments
that is borne by the residents and businesses of Clearwater. This process recognizes that, when considering
the city's ability to issue and repay long-term debt, the entire debt burden borne by the residents and
businesses should be taken into account.
a The percentage of overlapping debt applicable is estimated using taxable assessed property values. Applicable
percentages were estimated by determining the portion of another governmental unit's taxable assessed value
that is within the City's boundaries and dividing it by each unit's total taxable assessed value.

Continuing Disclosure – Gas System Revenue Bonds
Series 2013 and 2014
The System:
Rates, Fees and Charges
Clearwater Gas System (CGS) is not subject to regulation by any State agency in establishing or revising
its rates. The rate structure for customers receiving firm natural gas service consists of three distinct groups
of charges:
(1) the Purchased Gas Adjustment (PGA) rate;
(2) rate riders including the Energy Conservation Adjustment (ECA), the Usage and Inflation Adjustment
(UIA), and the regulatory imposition adjustment (RIA); and
(3) the base rates.
The PGA rate is the mechanism by which CGS recovers the cost of natural has it purchases and distributes
to its customers. The ECA is designed to recover costs associated with energy conservation and demand
management. The UIA is designed to mitigate operational and financial risk associated with fluctuations in
demand and inflationary cost increases. The RIA is designed to recover the cost of regulatory imposed
programs. The base rates (customer and commodity charges) effectively recover all other costs of
distributing natural gas to customers.
The current rate structure in effect at September 30, 2022 is based on a Natural Gas Rate Study completed
in December 2020, and was adopted by Ordinance 9433-21 to be effective for all gas bills and services
rendered on or after March 1, 2021. The Residential Customer Charge was increased by $2 per month
effective March 1, 2021 and then an additional $2 per month effective March 1, 2022. The Commercial
Non-Fuel energy charge decreased by $0.04 per therm effective March 1, 2021. These changes were not
revenue neutral in the first year and reduced reserve levels by approximately $559,000; however, reserves
are projected to remain above the minimum 180-day reserve requirement throughout the five-year forecast
period included in the rate study.
Where competitive fuel sources or transportation service are available to the customer, the City Council
has authorized the City Manager to enter into contract gas service rates at special rates and/or conditions
as required to obtain/retain the customer load. Such contract service must meet the normal construction
feasibility formula to insure profitable payback to CGS. In addition to the above rate changes, all customers
served under contract rates as of February 28, 2021 were allowed to remain on their existing contracts until
the next expiration date, at which time the contract was automatically discontinued and the customer was
moved to the applicable standard rate unless a new contract was executed. This resulted in a reduction of
contract customers from 181 (impacting 6.0% of revenues) at September 30, 2021 to 34 (impacting 1.0%
of revenues) as of September 30, 2022.

The two natural gas transmission companies that serve within the State of Florida are Florida Gas Transmission (FGT)
and Gulfstream. Currently FGT is the sole provider of transportation service to the City. Florida Gas Transmission is a
natural gas pipeline which brings gas from Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama into Florida. The pipeline is
owned 50% by Energy Transfer Partners (Owner/Operator) and 50% by Kinder Morgan Partnership, each respectively
representing units in Citrus Corporation.
The City joined Florida Gas Utility (FGU) in October 2000 by Resolution 00-35. FGU is responsible for the purchase &
management of the City's natural gas supply. An updated All Requirements Gas Service Agreement, which was
approved by Resolution 02-02 in January 2002, required the City to purchase 100% of its supply through FGU. FGU was
formed through an Interlocal Agreement among its members. The Interlocal Agreement became effective on September
1, 1989 and consisted of five municipal utilities. Over the next several years, additional electric and gas distribution
utilities joined FGU, bringing its current membership to 25.
In addition, the City has entered into a Gas Supply & Transportation Agreement with Peoples Gas System (PGS), dated
12/02/04, to purchase natural gas to serve customers located in our Central Pasco territory, generally east of the
Suncoast Parkway in Pasco County. The City received a letter from FGU Council, dated 8/31/04, granting the City
permission to utilize TECO Peoples Gas as a third party gas supplier since FGU is unable and unwilling to provide gas to
the City within the meaning of the provisions of Section 3 (a)(i) and (ii) of the All Requirements Gas Service Agreement
between the City and FGU.
The City has two Firm Transportation Service agreements (FTS-1 & FTS-2) with FGT in order to deliver natural gas to
the City's four gate stations. FGU is currently managing the City's Phase II (FTS-1) and Phase III (FTS-2) transportation
capacity on a daily basis. Table 1 shows the breakdown of the City's annual gas supply entitlements with FGT. The total
annual entitlement is 3,212,226 decatherms of natural gas transportation.

GAS SUPPLY
On August 1, 1990, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) deregulated the natural gas pipeline industry.
This allows other natural gas suppliers and local distribution companies, like the City of Clearwater, to transport gas over
the Florida Gas Transmission (FGT) pipelines as opposed to purchasing natural gas supply from only FGT.

Service Area
The Clearwater Gas System (CGS) is owned and operated as an enterprise utility by the City of Clearwater.
CGS operates over 1,075 miles of underground gas main and handles the supply and distribution of both
natural and propane (LP) gas throughout northern Pinellas County and western Pasco County. As a “full
service” gas utility, CGS provides gas appliance sales, installation of inside customer gas piping, domestic
and commercial gas equipment service, construction and maintenance of underground gas mains and
service lines, and 24-hour response to any gas emergency within the service area. The Florida Public
Service Commission and the Federal Department of Transportation regulate CGS for safety.
CGS has been serving customers in the Clearwater area for nearly 100 years (since 1924) when operations
began with a manufactured gas plant operation from coal and coke. In 1959, when natural gas transmission
lines were finally extended to the Florida peninsula, CGS discontinued manufacturing gas and began
receiving piped natural gas from Florida Gas Transmission.
Clearwater Gas System serves over 31,000 customers in a 330 square mile service territory, which includes
20 municipalities as well as the unincorporated areas of northern Pinellas County and western Pasco
County. The Pinellas County service territory is 158 square miles and extends generally from Ulmerton and
Walsingham Roads on the south to the Pasco County line on the north and from the Gulf of Mexico on the
West to the Hillsborough County line on the east. This includes all of the Pinellas beach communities south
to Redington Beach. The Pasco County service territory is 172 square miles and extends from the Gulf of
Mexico on the West inland about 20 miles to just east of State Road 41 and Land O’ Lakes and from the
Pinellas and Hillsborough County lines on the South to generally State Road 52 on the north. The CGS
service territory extends 42.3 miles from the southwestern-most to the northwestern-most points.
Clearwater Gas System prides itself in being a competitive and public service-minded utility, providing safe,
economical and environmentally-friendly gas, which is made in America, available in our communities for
all of the homes and businesses in our service area, with special focus on the residential customers who
make up over 91% of our customer base.

Rates, Fees and Charges
The City uses a three-tiered rate structure for water and sewer usage. The base rate for water
includes a minimum usage for residential and nonresidential water rates. Any usage over the
minimum is billed at one rate per 1,000 gallons up to a designated level and at a second rate for
usage over that level. For irrigation, there is a base rate, with no usage allowance, and a charge
per 1,000 gallons of water usage up to a designated level and a higher charge for usage over that
amount. The sewer base rate includes a minimum usage and a fixed charge per 1,000 gallons of
water usage over the basic allowance. The minimum usage and second and third tier usage levels
vary with the size of the meters. For fiscal year 2022 there were no changes to the three-tiered rate
structure for water or sewer usage.

Changes in Fund Balances of Governmental Funds
The increase in 2019 investment earnings was due to an unrealized gain in market value as of September 30, 2019, as well as an
increase in the average balance of cash and investments.
The increase in 2019 property taxes was due to an increase in the millage rate from 5.155 to 5.955 mills, as well as an increase in
property values.
The decreases in 2021 and 2022 investment earnings was primarily due to unrealized losses in market value at September 30, 2021
and September 30, 2022, caused by increases in interest rates.
Continuing Disclosure - Non-Ad Valorem Revenue Bonds, Series 2022
(modified accrual basis of accounting, in thousands of dollars)
The large increase in other long term debt issued for fiscal year 2022 was due to issuance of the Series 2022 Non-ad Valorem
revenue bonds.
The increase in capital outlay expenditures in 2022 was primarily due to expenditures for the Imagine Clearwater waterfront park and
amphitheater project.

properties located outside the corporate limits of the City, but within a designated service area. Emergency
medical services are provided for the benefit of persons residing both inside and outside the corporate limits
of the City, based on the Authority's nearest unit dispatch policy.
With respect to the Fire Services Program, a budget was prepared by Fire Department personnel covering
proposed expenditures for fiscal year ending September 30, 2022, for the Fire Department as a whole.
Since the funding for the Emergency Medical Services Program is based on the level fixed in prior years,
the Fire Services Program budget is essentially the residual obtained by deducting the approved level of
funding for the Emergency Medical Services Program from the budgeted amounts included in the total Fire
Department budget. This budget was submitted to, and duly approved by, the relevant Authority prior to the
commencement of the fiscal year. Income received from Pinellas County Fire Protection Authority and valid
program expenditures for the Fire Services Program for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022 are
summarized below.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER
FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS
BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
To the Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
City of Clearwater, Florida
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America
and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the
Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-
type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Clearwater, Florida
(the “City”), as of and for the year ended September 30, 2022, and the related notes to the financial statements,
which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements and have issued our report thereon dated April
28, 2023. We have also audited the financial statements of each of the City’s nonmajor governmental funds,
nonmajor enterprise funds, internal service funds, and fiduciary funds presented as supplementary information
in the accompanying combining and individual fund statements as of and for the year ended September 30, 2022,
as listed in the table of contents.
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City’s internal control over
financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion
on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or
employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct,
misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal
control, suchthat there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements
will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a
combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough
to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section
and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or
significant deficiencies and therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not
identified. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we
consider to be material weaknesses. We identified certain deficiencies in internal control, described in the
accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs as item 2022-001 that we consider to be significant
deficiencies.
Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether City’s financial statements are free from material
misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and
grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the financial statements.
186
However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and
accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance
or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
City of Clearwater, Florida’s Response to Findings
Government Auditing Standards requires the auditor to perform limited procedures on the City of Clearwater,
Florida’s response to the findings identified in our audit and described in the accompanying schedule of findings
and questioned costs. The City of Clearwater, Florida’s response was not subjected to the other auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on the
response.
Purpose of This Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the
results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control or on
compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing
Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not
suitable for any other purpose.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON COMPLIANCE FOR EACH MAJOR
FEDERAL PROGRAM AND ON EACH MAJOR STATE PROJECT ON INTERNAL
CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE REQUIRED BY THE UNIFORM GUIDANCE
AND CHAPTER 10.550, RULES OF THE AUDITOR GENERAL
To the Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
City of Clearwater, Florida
Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Programand State Project
Opinion on Each Major Federal Program and State Project
We have audited the City of Clearwater, Florida’s (the “City”) compliance with the types of compliance
requirements described in the OMB Compliance Supplement and the requirements described in the State of
Florida Department of Financial Services’ State Projects Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and
material effect on each of City’s major federal programs and state projects for the year ended September 30,
2022. The City’s major federal programs and state projects are identified in the summary of auditors’ results
section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs.
In our opinion, the City of Clearwater complied, in all material respects, with the types of compliance
requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal
programs and state projects for the year ended September 30, 2022.
Basis for Opinion on Each Major Federal Program and State Project
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards,
issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; the audit requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal
Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal
Awards (Uniform Guidance); and Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General,Florida Single Audit Act Audits –
Local Governmental Entity Audits. Our responsibilities under those standards and the Uniform Guidance and
Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General, are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the
Audit of Compliance section of our report.
We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with
relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on compliance for each major federal program and
state project. Our audit does not provide a legal determination of City’s compliance with the compliance
requirements referred to above.
Responsibilities of Management for Compliance
Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements referred to above and for the design,
implementation, and maintenance of effective internal control over compliance with the requirements of laws,
statutes, regulations, rules, and provisions of contracts or grant agreements applicable to City’s federal
programs and state projects.
188
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether material noncompliance with the compliance
requirements referred to above occurred, whether due to fraud or error, and express an opinion on City’s
compliance based on our audit. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance
and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, Government Auditing Standards, the Uniform Guidance and Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor
General, will always detect material noncompliance when it exists. The risk of not detecting material
noncompliance resulting from fraud is higher than for that resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion,
forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Noncompliance with the
compliance requirements referred to above is considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that,
individually or in the aggregate, it would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user of the report on
compliance about City’s compliance with the requirements of each major federal program and state project as a
whole.
In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, Government Auditing
Standards, the Uniform Guidance, and Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General, we:
Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
Identify and assess the risks of material noncompliance, whether due to fraud or error, and design and
perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis,
evidence regarding City’s compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above and
performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
Obtain an understanding of City’s internal control over compliance relevant to the audit in order to
design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances and to test and report on internal
control over compliance in accordance with the Uniform Guidance and Chapter 10.550, Rules of the
Auditor General, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of City’s internal
control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the
planned scope and timing of the audit and any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in internal
control over compliance that we identified during the audit.
Report on Internal Control over Compliance
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance
does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to
prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program or
state project on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a
combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that
material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program or state project will not be
prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over
compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type of
compliance requirement of a federal program or state project that is less severe than a material weakness in
internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the Auditors’
Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section above and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in
internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control
over compliance. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control
over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above. However, material weaknesses
or significant deficiencies in internal control over compliance may exist that were not identified.
189
Our audit was not designed for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control
over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of
internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of the Uniform
Guidance and Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other
purpose.

letter.

Financial Condition and Management
Sections 10.554(1)(i)5.a. and 10.556(7), Rules of the Auditor General, require us to apply appropriate

Mid-Year Budget Review
Fiscal Year 2022-23
Memorandum
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Jennifer Poirrier, City Manager
COPIES: Michael Delk, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: Mid-year budget review - amended City Manager's annual budget report
DATE: May 24, 2023
Attached is the mid-year budget review in accordance with the City Code of Ordinances.
This report is based on the six months of activity in the current fiscal year (October 2022 through March
2023). Contained within are comments on major variances and documentation of all proposed
amendments.
Significant Fund amendments are outlined below:
General Fund
General Fund revenue and expenditure amendments reflect a net increase of $779,120.
The General Fund expenditure increase at mid-year represents Council approved appropriations of General
Fund reserves which total $779,120. Amendments include $610,620 to fund grand opening events at
Coachman Park, and $168,500 to fund The Sound acoustic study.
General Fund Reserves – In order to ensure adequate reserves, the City Council’s policy reflects that General
Fund unappropriated fund reserves of 8.5% of the City’s budgeted General Fund expenditures must be
maintained as a reserve to guard against future emergencies.
Estimated General Fund reserves at mid-year are approximately $57.2 million, or 31.1% of the current
year’s General Fund expenditure budget, exceeding our minimum reserve requirement by $41.6 million.
Significant amendments to other city operating funds are noted as follows:
Solid Waste and Recycling Fund
Amendments to Solid Waste and Recycling Fund expenditures reflect the council approved increase of
$400,000 to provide for increased single stream recycling costs. Budgeted revenues are sufficient to cover
this increase.

Fiscal Year 2022-23
Airpark Fund
Amendments to Airpark Fund expenditure reflect the council approved increase of $367,000. This
represents agreements with Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) to fund the purchase of a golf
cart and project funding for paving at the Airpark. Amendments to Airpark revenues are amended to
allocate reserves for required cash match.
Capital Improvement Program
Mid-year amendments to the capital improvement program reflect a net increase of $1,087,961.
Amendments previously approved by Council include an increase of $140,000 in insurance reimbursement
revenues in the Garage – Off Cycle Replacement project; an increase of $1,750,000 in grant revenues from

of $1,135,548 in grant revenue from the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD) in the
Groundwater Replenishment Facility project; and an increase of $22,031 of insurance reimbursements in

Agenda Number: 5.1
SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize a Guaranteed Maximum Price proposal to Certus Builders, Inc., of Bristol, FL for the
construction of a new pier and dock at Cliff Stephens Park located at 901 Fairwood Ave, in the
amount of $292,811.31, pursuant to RFQ 40-20, Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR)
Services for Continuing Contracts and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same.
(consent)
SUMMARY:
On September 17, 2020, Council approved the use of thirteen firms to serve as construction
managers for the City under RFQ 40-20 and Certus Builders, Inc., was selected as one of the
approved firms.
Cliff Stephens Park is a 46-acre parcel of land sitting on two separate ponds fed by Alligator
Creek. The park contains a frequently utilized disc golf course and multiple trails, most notably
a portion of the Ream Wilson Trail. It connects with Kapok Park on its eastern side, forming a
popular and highly visited outdoor amenity for the residents of Clearwater. The surrounding
neighborhood and residents have expressed interest to city staff for the construction of a new
dock overlooking the eastern lake, following the recent demolition of a previously existing dock
that had reached its useful life.
This proposal is for all work needed for the project, which includes the construction of
structural and marine elements, decking, paneling, and handrails. The proposed dock will be
located in the same location as it existed previously and will provide for compliance with
accessibility standards of the Americans with Disabilities Act. This is a 120-day contract which
will commence upon issuance of a Notice to Proceed.
APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT:
Funds are available in capital improvement project M2206, Parks and Beautification R&R.

SUMMARY:
A comprehensive plan is a long-range policy document that guides decisions on the future
growth and sustainability of the city. The Planning and Development Department is currently
rewriting the City’s current comprehensive plan, which was adopted in 2008, to update the
vision, goals, objectives, and policies covering a wide range of topics including land use,
transportation, housing, utilities, recreation and open space as well as many others.
Staff hosted four public meetings in April and May to update the community on the rewrite
process and allow for input on the draft chapters, which were made available online at the
Clearwater2045.com website. Additionally, staff presented the draft Quality Places and
Mobility Chapters of Clearwater 2045 to the Community Development Board, in their capacity
as the city’s Local Planning Agency, for their input at a special meeting on May 10, 2023.
Then at their regular meeting on May 16, 2023, the Parks & Public Spaces, Conservation &
Coastal Management, and Support Services Chapters were presented to the Board for
feedback. Staff presented the Conservation & Coastal Management Chapter as well as any
other goals, objectives, or policies in the chapters that cover an environmental or resiliency
topic to the Environmental Advisory Board for their input at a special meeting on May 17,
2023.
The Planning and Development Department is seeking input from City Council prior to
bringing the full Clearwater 2045 plan before them for public hearing on September 21, 2023.
Staff presented the draft Quality Places and Mobility Chapters to City Council at their June 5,

INTRODUCTION
This chapter offers guidance for ensuring the city’s parks system continues to provide opportunities for all residents and visitors. This chapter offers recommendations for equity opportunities but is mostly the existing Open Space and Recreation Element with small edits. The Parks and Recreation Department is currently undergoing an update to the Parks Master Plan, and that update is anticipated to be completed by the end of 2023. It is anticipated that upon adoption of the updated master plan, amendments to this chapter will follow to capture the most up to date data.
EXISTING CONDITIONS
Over the last decade, the Parks and Recreation Department has shifted focus from new park development to park redevelopment and renovation. As the majority of park infrastructure was built prior to 2010, future focus and planning efforts should be centered around the reconstruction, renovation, and improvement of those existing facilities.
Some of the major facility improvements and projects over the past decade include the following:• Rejuvenation project of Beachwalk Promenade• BayCare Ballpark Scoreboard and structural repairs• Development of Walter C. Campbell Park and Buccaneer Field• Pier 60 Park renovations and Play Plaza• Papaya Street Plaza & Pier at Clearwater Beach• Crest Lake Park Renovations & Veterans Plaza improvement
There are numerous future projects including the ongoing development and activation of Imagine Clearwater and Downtown Waterfront, Ream Wilson Trail Head enhancements, BayCare Ballpark capital improvements, and Beachwalk refurbishment. Planned projects that are awaiting funding include the development of Cooper’s Point Park, enhancements to neighborhood parks, and retrofit of ballfield lighting with LED technology.
There are 12 different types of facility types for which existing levels of service (LOS) identify surpluses or potential gaps, found in Table PPP A. These standards are based upon guidelines from professional associations such as the National Recreation and Parks Association (NRPA), as well as management practices such as the Florida Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation (SCORP).

PPP.iv | Clearwater Comprehensive Plan
However, these standards for determining levels of service are being phased out with the prevalence of community performance-based models. Performance-based models afford local communities the opportunity to engage in defining service levels based on the varying geographical, cultural, climatic, and socioeconomic characteristics of the service area. These standards grant cities the ability to remain responsive to shifting community priorities over time, in anticipation of meeting the needs of residents alongside development efforts.
Currently, the city retains a surplus of vacant land that was purchased for future neighborhoods parks. The decision to develop these parks is based on numerous management conditions, including the existing community preferences, available fiscal resources, and the ability to maintain landscapes concurrent with adopted citywide standards and expectations.
The city is also currently providing just over twice as much acreage of core parkland acreage, 8.85 acres per 1,000 people, then the current adopted LOS of 4 acres per 1,000 people. Core parkland is defined as community, neighborhood, and environmental parks, with the city currently providing 1,048.38 acres of core parkland. Additionally, the city maintains 722.17 acres of special facilities and open space parkland. When coupled with core parkland, the city has a total of 1,770.55 acres in total parkland, which equates to 14.94 acres per 1,000 residents, based on 2022 population estimates. Currently, there are 109 parks within the city broken down as follows: 7 community, 28 environmental, 24 neighborhood, 23 open space, and 27 special facilities which include golf courses, baseball/softball fields, or multiuse fields.

INTRODUCTIONThis chapter offers guidance for protecting and preserving those natural resources found within the city as well as coastal areas, while also introducing sustainable and resilient techniques for development and redevelopment. The city is uniquely vulnerable to flooding as the city’s boundaries stretch between the Gulf of Mexico and Old Tampa Bay and also includes the barrier islands of Sand Key and Clearwater Beach.
EXISTING CONDITIONS
NATURAL RESOURCES
Water ResourcesDue to the unique nature of Clearwater lying between the Gulf of Mexico and Old Tampa Bay, there is a wide variety of waterborne resources. Surface waters are common in the city and take the form of freshwater ponds and lakes as well as stormwater ponds. There are also numerous drainage basins for groundwater and large areas of wetlands are found within the city, primarily concentrated in Clearwater Harbor and Old Tampa Bay. Table CCM A details these water resources, and map CCM 1 shows the wetlands.
Surface Waters
Surface waters consist mostly of freshwater ponds and lakes in addition to stormwater ponds.
Groundwaters

Natural EcosystemsWhile the city is mostly an urban ecosystem with built out infrastructure, many natural ecosystems exist. The Gulf of Mexico, Clearwater Harbor, Stevenson Creek, and Old Tampa Bay provide a vast amount of habitat and wildlife, including mangrove forests, beach and dune systems, and seagrasses. In addition to natural habitats, marine wildlife exists within and around the city, including oysters and manatees. Seagrasses, mangroves, and oyster beds perform essential functions such as filtering pollutants from water and also provide erosion control. Map CCM 3 shows the living marine resources within the city, and map CCM 4 shows the vegetative areas within the city.
Species of Special ConcernWithin the city, there are numerous species of concern, consisting of plants, megafauna, birds, and invertebrates. Table CCM C details these species of concern. These species of concern are protected through numerous federal, state, or local protections such as the Endangered Species Act, Marine Mammal Protection Act, U.S. Migratory Bird Treaty Act, Mangrove Trimming and Preservation Act (1996), or speed zones or fines.

COASTAL RESOURCES INVENTORY
Commercial Important Coastal ResourcesThe most commercially important coastal resource of the city is Clearwater Beach, which service as the economic driver of the city through tourism. The beach supports numerous commercial activities, and maintaining the environmental conditions of the beach is vitally important for the economic health of the city. In addition to Clearwater Beach, Coachman Park is another important coastal resource of the city. Currently under renovation and expected to open during the summer of 2023, Coachman Park will include an expansive park and recreational space, including a new 4,000 covered-seat amphitheater, and is anticipated to become a gateway to Downtown from the intracoastal waterway.
Culturally Important Coastal ResourcesThere are three means to recognize important properties or places; the first is through the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), the second is through the Florida Mater Site File, and the third is through a local historical designation. Within the coastal areas of the city, there are only Master Site File locations that still survive. Three of these locations are located on Clearwater Beach, 333 and 351 South Gulfview Boulevard and 827 Mandalay Avenue, and six locations are located near Old Tampa Bay, 517, 520, 603, 707, and 725 South Bayview Avenue and 3204 Gulf to Bay Boulevard. Map QP 7 found within the Quality Places Chapter shows locations of all of the historical sites within the city.
Ecologically Important Coastal ResourcesSome of the many ecologically important resources within the city include mangroves, seagrasses, salt marshes, mangroves, oyster beds, and the beach. Mangroves, seagrasses, and salt marshes are considered blue carbon resources and these act as carbon sinks, resources that store carbon dioxide from rising into the atmosphere. Mangroves, in addition to oyster beds, also aid in filtering pollutants from the water which can help to reduce red tide levels while supporting natural habitats and erosion control. Lastly, the beach is a natural site for sea turtle nesting, and continued efforts need to be made to protect sand amounts and turtle nests.
Recreationally Important Coastal ResourcesBoat AccessThe city has two boat ramps, the largest and recently updated Seminole Boat Ramp, as well as the Clearwater Beach Public Boat Ramp. Both ramps are open 24/7, and additionally, there are numerous public boat slips located at Clearwater Beach Marina, Clearwater Harbor Marina, Island Estates, and Clearwater Recreation Center. In addition to boat ramps, there are numerous canoe and kayak launching points within the city, located at both boat ramps in addition to Mandalay Park, Sand Key Park, Cooper’s Bayou Park, Lake Chautauqua Park, the south sides of the Courtney Campbell and Memorial Causeways, and at the southern terminus of Bayview Avenue.
Beach Access & ParkingClearwater Beach has multiple public access points, Map CCM 5, along Mandalay Avenue, Coronado Drive, and South Gulfview Drive, and Sand Key Park has additional public access points. Clearwater Beach has both public and private parking for a cost. In parking lots or garages, there are 587 public spaces, with an additional 289 on-street parking spaces. Additionally, there are 346 parking spaces at the Clearwater Beach Marina for marina activities.DRAFT

SUSTAINABLE USE AND MANAGEMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES
Surface Waters & GroundwaterMost of the surface waters in the city are lakes and stormwater ponds. The city owns some of the stormwater ponds, and others have drainage easements over them so that maintenance can be performed. Maintenance includes removal of soils, plant overgrowth, and nuisance plant species as these can restrict water flow if not regularly maintained. Additionally, several stormwater ponds and lakes within the city have contracts with private firms to remove or spray for invasive plant growth.
The only watershed in the city is the Tampa Bay/Anclote River Watershed which is fed by 13 drainage basins: Bishop Creek, Alligator Creek, Long Bayou, Jerry Branch, Stevenson Creek, Mullet Creek, Belleair Golfclub Run, Curlew Creek, Allen Creek, Lake Tarpon Canal, and Tampa Bay, all of which direct runoff to the Gulf of Mexico and Tampa Bay.
WetlandsThe city’s wetlands provide ecological, economic, and social benefits through providing habitats for fish, wildlife, and plants; recharge groundwater; reduce flooding; provide clean drinking water; and support cultural and recreational activities. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services (FWS) is tasked with mapping all wetlands in the United States. Within the city, there are 83 wetlands which are divided into seven major categories based on the dominant vegetative cover.
Drinking WaterResidents in Clearwater use approximately 11.1 million gallons of drinking water per day, with about 8% originating from a city-owned and operated groundwater well. The balance is purchased from Pinellas County Utilities.
Cooper’s Point Water Quality ImprovementsA project to construct a 350 foot wide bridge opening in the Courtney Campbell Causeway, a 120 foot bridge opening in Cooper’s Point, and the dredging of approximately one foot of Cooper’s Bayou is expected to be permitted in the first half of 2023. This project would allow for the restoration of a historical channel through the bayou, creation of a multihabitat community including salt marsh, seagrass, and mangroves, and improved tidal exchange and circulation which will reduce the likelihood of algae blooms.
Biophilic PlanningThe use of biophilic planning, which attempts to tie in the phenomena of the natural environment with the built environment together. The use of natural objects such as trees, waterways or plants in addition to using curves or irregular arcs within the built environment can help improve mental health and air and water quality.
Urban AgricultureThe use of urban agriculture can help reduce transportation costs, reduce runoff associated with heavy rainfall, and lead to better air quality. It can also help increase resiliency through reducing inefficiencies caused by transporting food over long distances.DRAFT

RESILIENCE TO SEA LEVEL RISE, FLOODING, AND STORMS
Coastal High Hazard Area (CHHA)The Coastal High Hazard Area is the area below the elevation of a category 1 storm surge line as established by the Sea, Lake, and Overland Surges from Hurricanes (SLOSH) computerized storm surge model. This is required to be in the comprehensive plan per F.S. 163.3178; however, the city has established the Coastal Storm Area (CSA) which is based on the CHHA. The CSA includes the CHHA as well as parcels where the CHHA covers 20% or more of a parcel, portions of islands not inundated by the CHHA, and areas of the FEMA Velocity Zone (VE Zone) that are not included in Evacuation Level A. There are approximately 2,532 acres included in the CSA, and density and intensity increased are prohibited within the CHHA and CSA, and certain uses such as hospitals cannot locate within the CHHA or CSA. Map CCM 6 shows the CHHA, and Map CCM 7 shows the CSA.
Floodplain ManagementFEMA maintains floodplain maps, which were updated in 2021, to depict areas of the city where flood risks are greatest. There are three flood zones defined as follows and shown on map CCM 8:• VE – Special Flood Hazard Area with water surface elevations determined and with velocity, that is inundated by tidal floods (CHHA);• AE – Special Flood Hazard Area subject to inundation by the 1-percent-annual-chance flood event with water surface elevations determined; and• A – Special Flood Hazard Area without water surface elevations determined.
The city has adopted and enforces floodplain management ordinances and regulates construction as it related to flood zones pursuant to Florida Building Code standards.
Clearwater Greenprint 2.0• In August of 2021, the city adopted Clearwater Greenprint 2.0 to help advance the community’s goal to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The two overarching goals are:• Reduce citywide GHG emissions 25% below 2007 levels by the year 2035; and• Reduce citywide GHG emissions 80% below 2007 levels by the year 2050.
The expansion of electric vehicles (EV) and EV infrastructure, as well as expanding the use of low-to-zero emission vehicles, will help move the city towards the goals stated above. The city has committed to expanding the city’s fleet to EV or low-to-zero emission vehicles.DRAFT

INTRODUCTION
This chapter provides the goals, objectives, and policies for the backbone of the city: public services and utilities. While the utilities tend to be out of sight and out of mind, the city would not be able to thrive economically without them. Additionally, public services including Police, Fire/EMS, and the library system, are all essential pieces to a healthy city. The city needs to plan for and ensure that these utilities and services are operating at the highest levels to support existing and proposed populations and development.
EXISTING CONDITIONS
The Public Utilities Department include the potable water, reclaimed water, and sanitary sewer (wastewater), and the Public Works Department includes the stormwater systems. These systems are generally governed by their respective master plans, which are updated on a regular basis. Future projects to the potable and reclaimed water and sanitary sewer systems will be based on findings from updated master plans, Supervisory Control & Automated Data (SCADA) Master Plans, and other regulatory initiatives. Stormwater plans are determined by the Surface Water Improvement and Management (SWIM) Program as well as provisions of the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). Maps SS 1 and SS 2 show the sanitary sewer lines and water reclamation facilities (WRFs) within the city. Maps SS 3 and SS 4 show the city’s potable water lines and wells, and map SS 5 shows the reclaimed water lines.
The Solid Waste & Recycling Department handles solid waste and recycling collection throughout the city and to a few select developments in Belleair and Largo. There are over 27,000 customers the department services, including approximately 3,600 commercial dumpsters, 28,000 black and blue barrels for solid waste and recycling, 400 multi-family recycling carts, 210 roll-off containers, and 90 compactors. In 2020, a new transfer station was opened which can handle approximately 650 tons of solid waste, and has built-in excess capacity for up to three days of waste. Additionally, the department has recently converted all 71 of their heavy vehicles to use Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) rather than diesel. Map SS 6 shows the collection days for solid waste & recycling.
Clearwater Gas System is unique in that it provides natural gas and propane to customers in the city, but also to customers through portions of northern Pinellas County, portions of the beach communities through Redington Beach, and further north into Pasco County. Clearwater Gas has been one of the largest-growth utilities in the state and has plans to further extend services to the SR 52 and SR 54 corridors in Pasco County. Clearwater gas also transfers funds to the city. Between FY 2012-2021, the total amount transferred was $102 million, with $38.2 being a dividend payment. Map SS 7 shows the natural gas lines through the city.DRAFT

The Clearwater Police Department serves the city through three districts with 386.5 personnel and over 350 vehicles. The department also partners with three satellite buildings in the North Greenwood, Lake Belleview, and Wood Valley neighborhoods. The North Greenwood partnership is with the United Way and provides youth and adult vocational assistance as well as other social services. The Lake Belleview building is utilized by police staff and is shared with a dental clinic, with future aspirations to partner with CASA to provide social services to victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking. The Wood Valley building is not operationally necessary and could be vacated with no decreases in services. Map SS 8 shows the police districts and stations within the city.
The Police Department monitors two types of metrics: crime and activities. Crime metrics include burglaries, auto theft, sex offenses, and robberies, and activity metrics include traffic stops, ordinance issuance, and Field Interview Reports. These metrics are tracked on a monthly and yearly basis, and are shared with local agencies through a national incident based system.
Clearwater Fire & Rescue department is an all-hazards fire department and the second largest in Pinellas County, and it has received the highest public protection classification rating of 1 from the Insurance Services Office (ISO). The department has 195 certified firefighters, along with approximately 27 civilian staff. Fire and rescue services are provided through eight stations and eight lifeguard towers located on Clearwater Beach. Map SS 9 shows the locations of the city’s fire stations.
The Library System provides numerous programs and has over 531,000 items in circulation for residents of all ages through use of the five library branches. The items in circulation include books, DVDs, computer stations, video games, and boardgames . Some of the programs offered through the library are continuing education, tutoring, small business assistance, and tax preparation assistance .There are 99 employees within the library system, of which 40 are Librarians. As needs of residents evolve over the coming years, the Library System will be looking to increase space for community meetings, group collaboration, and individual and group study. They will also be looking to facilitate discovery and exploration of specialized interests such as STEM and STEAM by adding new technology and equipment throughout the libraries. Map SS 10 shows the locations of the five library branches.DRAFT

In order to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions and meet the goals laid out in Greenprint 2.0,
the City has committed to increasing energy efficiency within its facilities. To support this
commitment, the City entered a five-year contract with Cenergistic Inc. of Dallas, Texas in
March of 2022 to maximize energy efficiency within city facilities.
Cenergistic has worked for over 34 years to help more than 1,450 organization across the
nation reduce greenhouse gases and save money in electricity, natural gas, and water costs.
The company achieves such reductions by applying advanced technology and behavior-based
conservation programs within buildings, as well as embed full-time onsite Energy Specialists
to ensure all equipment and operation are working at peak efficiency and optimization.
At this time, data representing electric and gas use in the first year of the program has been
uploaded into the energy tracking system and Cenergistic will be providing a report on the
results. Because water costs were added mid-year, staff and Cenergistic are still working
through implementation of that data. When it is complete the total savings for Performance
Year 1 (April 2022-March 2023) will be finalized.

SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Review Solar Implementation Plan. (WSO)
SUMMARY:
In Fiscal Year 2022, staff engaged a consultant, McKim & Creed, to complete a review of
most city facilities. The study was commissioned by the City to assist with planning for solar
installations and to provide a tool that could be adjusted for changing environments. The tool
identified eight weighted categories: Internal Rate of Return, Simple Payback, Electricity
Offset, Longevity of Roof, Simplicity of Install, Public Relations, Building Efficiency, and
Scalability. Buildings were then ranked based on these categories and weights. The original
thought was that this document would provide a planning document to help staff determine
funding needed to begin solar installations.
Between the start and end of the study, the City received two non-city generated funding
allocations, one from the Department of Energy, and a second from ARPA funding allocated
by City Council. Both had timelines by which expenditure needed to be completed, and the
total allocation was $3,000,000. The expense timing requirement, the status of the funding as
non-city generated funding allocations, and staff resource limitations pushed staff to alter the
categories and weights of the McKim and Creed formula to fit the current environment. The
new scoring looked at Internal Rate of Return, Electricity Offset, and a new category, the ratio
of individual install costs to the $3,000,000 allocation amount. The intent was to make sure
the city was getting good return on the projects, limiting the quantity of projects that needed to
be managed so staff could focus on quality installations within the defined timeline, and setting
up to see how buildings with a high percentage of renewable energy operate.
Staff then coupled this with a qualitative review of the new top ten to make any reasonable
adjustments that were driven by various non-quantitative factors to come up with the best
options.
The result was that three of the top ten from McKim and Creed remained in the top 10 for the
city’s adjusted scoring. The reasons that the other seven dropped out related to lower cost to
allocation ratios (four), a change in status of buildings (two), and a low electricity offset (one).
The three that were consistent on both lists were consistent with the top three for the adjusted
city list, and the fourth ranked building became the Long Center due to its very high cost to
allocation ratio. Staff then looked at the new top ten from a qualitative perspective to ensure
the quantitative approach was balanced with factors not definable by numbers. This included
factoring in construction projects that did not previously exist, secondary benefits of
installations, potential shifts in financial impact, and reimagination of some projects that
Page 1 City of Clearwater Printed on 6/8/2023
File Number: ID#23-0707
leverage multiple uses that exist on single parcels. The result of this adjustment is that the top
four facilities remained the same, and they are estimated to use up $2,250,000 of the
$3,000,000 allocation.
The fifth rated opportunity became an installation on the Osceola Avenue parking garage.
This is a new structure that was neither acquired nor designed at the time the study began.
As the new construction has been planned to have solar as part of the installation and the
allocation of design resources has already been made to the Osceola project, this project
made sense to add to the list, bringing the total up to $2,550,000 of the $3,000,000 allocation.
As to the remainder of the allocation, staff has five other potential high benefit options for
installation, each of which requires some additional work to confirm, and all include the use of
carport solar applications. Two of these are the MSB and Garden Avenue Garages, where
solar carports would be placed on the roof of the facilities, offering shading for those rooftop
parking spaces. The MSB garage is a unique scenario because the garage itself cannot does
not utilize much power, however there may be real opportunities related to the Police station
south of the garage. Staff are working to determine if state law will preclude the City from
transferring power from the garage to the station. Should that not be an option, the solar
installation for MSB would be timed with the acquisition of electric fleet vehicles, which would
then be charged electricity generated by solar captured onsite and stored in battery
technology. The recent renovation work at MSB garage has prepared the garage for an
easier conversion to either scenario with the inclusion of strategically placed conduit during
that project.
Similarly, Garden Avenue garage also presents an opportunity for EV charging, though it
could be used in both fleet and public applications. Staff would again time installation based
on fleet acquisition, but also on the public demand for EV charging downtown.
The final three may be the most exciting opportunities for solar installation because they
include opportunities for social benefits as well as environmental and financial benefits.
Fire Station 46 was not included in the original study because it had already been planned for
a Solar Installation. When the peel and stick application that was planned for FS46 became
unavailable, the team began searching for an alternative, however the design engineers could
not identify an installation that would be appropriate for an emergency facility in that location.
As an alternative, we have identified an opportunity to leverage an uncommon parcel make up
where Fire Station 46, a large parking lot (Lot 36), and a park (Mandalay Park) all occupy a
single parcel. While normally facilities like these would occupy separate parcels, this set up
allows us to utilize power generated on one or more of these uses for the benefit of the other
uses. Conceptually staff believes that leveraging the parking lot for this makes sense due to
its proximity to the Fire Station, and the use of carports to generate the electricity would create
a secondary social benefit by allowing for shaded parking or overhead shelter. Additionally,
because this is a high traffic area, there may be an educational or inspirational opportunity for
beachgoers.
Like Fire Station 46, the North Greenwood Library also provides a unique parcel and the
opportunity for the creation of shaded parking or shelter for either patrons of the library, or the
adjacent athletic fields. In this scenario, we could use the North Greenwood Library parking
lot for generation instead of the building roof or provide shading for those attending events at
the athletic fields for those needing to get out of the sun or who might be caught in inclement
weather.
Page 2 City of Clearwater Printed on 6/8/2023
File Number: ID#23-0707
The final opportunity is at the Beach Library/Recreation facility and the Beach Pool. Similarly,
to the above scenarios, these sit on the same parcel, but they have a large parking lot
between them. The McKim and Creed study looked at generation of power at the structures
of the buildings themselves, however we believe there may be some value in once again
taking a covered parking approach, as the lot is generally unshaded and we may be able to
leverage the location of the parking lot to ensure efficient power distribution, whether that is
the pool side or the building side.
An additional benefit of some of these carport applications is that they allow for a lot more
standardization for installation and maintenance of the exterior elements of the system, as
roof materials and styles can vary greatly. Carport applications are generally made on asphalt
lots with minimal grade changes and spacing and layout that is typically standard. Prior to
moving forward with these opportunities, we would need to coordinate with Planning and
Development, as the City’s Land Development Code will likely need to be tweaked in some
areas to address these types of installations, however early discussions lead us to believe that
there is a path forward.
For now, staff intends to move ahead with the top five opportunities and work towards refining
the carport installations.
As staff moves beyond the non-city generated allocations for Solar, staff will continue to apply
a mix of quantitative and qualitative information to determine what makes sense based on a
balance of social, environmental, and financial goals.
No action is required at this time for this item, however the expense associated with each
project will be up for consideration by City Council at a later date.

Additionally, coupling this install with the N.Greenwood install may provide us an economies of scale opportunity due to similar installation types. 7 Fleet Ross NortonGreat system size, but the spread out nature of the roof panels and the lack of secondary shading benefits from carports due to heavy shading in the parking lot equate to a drop in value. This would adjust if a decision to shift away from Carports is made. N Greenwood LibraryThis project was originally speced as a rooftop install, however after staff reviewed the area, the lack of parking lot shading and proximity to uncovered outdoor athletic space, pushes us to believe that a shift to a carport style install to provide vehicle shading/overhead shelter would provide a secondary benefit. 2,550,000.00$

The Environmental Advisory Board applauds efforts to reduce trash and litter in the community.
To that end,the board supports Ordinance 9680-23,which would prohibit smoking on
Clearwater Beach and at parks throughout the city as a way to reduce litter of discarded
cigarettes.
Deputy Chief of Police Michael Wanek gave the board a thoughtful presentation on May 17 of
the ordinance,which includes why this step would be necessary,cigarette butts are a leading
form of litter.Not only is the trash pervasive,cigarette filters are made from cellulose acetate,
which breaks down over time spreading into smaller pieces.
“One solid filter ends up being thousands of tiny microplastics,”according to the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
E-cigarettes are also a growing environmental concern and would be prohibited as part of the
ordinance.
Already,the City of St.Petersburg passed an ordinance restricting the use of tobacco at its
beaches and parks.Pinellas County leaders are developing rules to prohibit cigarettes at its
beaches and parks as well.
The City of Clearwater Environmental Advisory Board urges the City Council to adopt Ordinance
9680-23.
