Roll Call
Present:5 - Mayor Brian Aungst, Sr., Vice Mayor Mark Bunker, Councilmember
Kathleen Beckman, Councilmember David Allbritton, and
Councilmember Lina Teixeira
Also Present: Jennifer Poirrier— City Manager, Michael Delk—Assistant City
Manager, David Margolis — City Attorney, Rosemarie Call — City Clerk
and Nicole Sprague — Deputy City Clerk.
To provide continuity for research, items are listed in agenda order although not
necessarily discussed in that order.
1. Call to Order- Mayor Aungst, Sr.
2. Public Works
2.1 Select one of three concepts for the proposed New City Hall project (22-0019-EN).
On September 15, 2022, Council approved a work order to Wannemacher
Jensen Architects (WJA) for design of a new city hall. The design scope
included three concepts of varying architectural styles for an approximately
40,000 square feet (SF), LEED silver building on the vacant city-owned parcel
south of the MSB (1.673 acres) or connected to the MSB on the exiting parcel
(1.67 acres).
Since the work order approval, council provided direction to the City Manager to
consider one large city hall to accommodate not only staff currently located at
600 Cleveland Street but all staff in the MSB with options to repurpose the MSB
building (66,570 SF) and parcel. With this new direction, WJA was asked to
provide concept drawings and construction cost estimates of three options, the
two originally included and one large city hall on the parcel south of MSB.
The concepts provided are summarized below:
Wannemacher Jenson Representative Jason Jenson representative
provided a PowerPoint presentation.
In response to questions, City Engineer Tara Kivett said expanding the MSB
garage is not likely as there is available parking spaces to accommodate
employees at City Hall Offices and visitors. She said the project would
propose new on-street parking. Mr. Jensen said the estimated cost for
Option 1 (MSB with addition) is $43.2 million, $44.8 million for Option 2
(stand alone city hall), and$76.2 million for Option 3 (stand alone civic

Council Work Session Meeting Minutes June 12, 2023
center). The City Manager said the projects allocated for the MSB do not
cover the items presented today. Approximately$2.5 million was allocated to
move cubicles and other internal improvements at the MSB. The additional
renovations at the MSB, such as the chillers and roof, would need to be
done. Mr. Jensen said the items presented today do not include additional
hardening. The training room and lobby are now overflow space options if
chambers is filled to capacity. If Option 2 is pursued, staff at city hall offices
can remain in place until construction is complete. MSB staff would have to
move around in order to accommodate construction.
Discussion ensued with support expressed for Option 2. Staff was directed to
place the item on the June 15 council agenda.
The Council recessed from 2:24 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.

4. Office of Management and Budget
4.1 Amend the City's fiscal year 2022/23 operating and capital improvement budgets at
mid-year and pass Ordinances 9687-23 and 9688-23 on first reading.
The fiscal year 2022/23 operating and capital improvement budgets were
adopted in October 2022 by ordinances 9615-22 and 9616-22. Section 2.521 of
the City's Code of Ordinances requires the City Manager to prepare a quarterly
report detailing income, expenditure estimates, collections, the explanation of
significant variances, as well as the financial status of all capital improvement
projects.
5. Parks and Recreation
5.1 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)
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.
In response to a question, Parks Sr. Division Manager Matthew Anderson
said the project should be completed by the end of the calendar year.

6. Planning
6.1 Provide direction on Clearwater 2045 Parks and Public Places, Conservation and
Coastal Management, and Support Services Chapters. (WSO)
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, 2023 work session, and will present the
Parks & Public Spaces, Conservation & Coastal Management, and Support
Services Chapters at the June 12, 2023 City Council work session.
Planning Division Manager Jayme Lopko provided a PowerPoint
presentation.
In response to questions, Ms. Lopko said increasing parkland involves
developing existing OSR parcels. The Parks & Recreation Master Plan
would identify goals associated with preserving natural spaces. Beach
renourishment is not list as a specific goal since it is pursued with other
entities and included in the implementation chapter. Planning and
Development Director Gina Clayton said approval of the hurricane
evacuation plan is part of the construction process. The evacuation plan is
required for development agreements and projects receiving density on the
beach. She said for existing facilities, staff works collaboratively to obtain the
evacuation plans retroactively.
Page 7
City of Clearwater
Council Work Session Meeting Minutes June 12, 2023
Staff was directed to provide a list of vacant lands purchased for future parks
and identify which are zoned OSR, information on total parkland designated
for paid or reserve use only, and an inventory of all urban farming sites within
city limits.
7. Office of Innovation
7.1 Review of First Year of Energy Savings with Cenergistic. (WSO)
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.
Cenergistic Representative David Goff provided a PowerPoint presentation.
In response to questions, Mr. Goff said next steps include the
implementation in fire stations and discuss opportunities in police stations.
The thermostat on one floor at fire station 45 has been set back at night.
Cenergistic has access to all meters, the estimated savings for the life of the
contract is $4.2 million to $4.3 million. He said he had discussed electricity
consumption at Coachman Park with staff, a base year must first be
established. The electricity unit cost is established by Duke Energy, the unit
cost fluctuates monthly.
7.2 Review Solar Implementation Plan. (WSO)
Page 8
City of Clearwater
Council Work Session Meeting Minutes June 12, 2023
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
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
Page 9
City of Clearwater
Council Work Session Meeting Minutes June 12, 2023
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
Page 10
City of Clearwater
Council Work Session Meeting Minutes June 12, 2023
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.
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.
The Mayor departed Chambers at 3:55 p.m. and returned at 3:58 p.m.
In response to questions, Chief Innovation Officer Micah Maxwell said staff
Page 11
City of Clearwater
Council Work Session Meeting Minutes June 12, 2023
has decided to spend the $2 million ARPA allocation within the established
timelines. He said he was not sure if the solar panels at Coachman Park will
be on for the grand opening. As soon as the estimated cost savings are
calculated, staff can report the estimated savings based on Duke Energy's
rate. The insurance companies are not insuring buildings with existing roofs.
He said if the panels are installed at the time a new roof is installed, it will not
be an issue. The City Attorney said the City's insurance broker, Arthur
Gallagher said city facilities will have to obtain insurance if they have solar
panels, but insurance companies may exclude storm damage.

11. Council Discussion Item
11.1 Consider adjusting council salaries, ranging from $41,000 to $49,000 - Councilmember
Teixeira
Note -At the May 10, 2023 Charter Review Committee meeting, a motion was
approved to "set the mayor's salary at $49,000 and the councilmember's salary
at $41,000 with an annual COLA."
Councilmember Teixeira said the Charter Review Committee recommended
increasing council salaries ($45,000 for councilmembers and $49,000 for
mayor), which is lower than what Council discussed but a good starting
point. She requested council consideration to approve the recommended
salary increase.
The City Attorney said any change to council salaries must be done via
ordinance and, per the city charter, any raise will not go into effect until the
next election season.
Discussion ensued with comments made that the Committee's
recommendation provides a modest salary. Staff was directed to place the
item on the June 15 council agenda.
11.2Create an Imagine Clearwater citizen engagement mechanism - Councilmember Teixeira
Councilmember Teixeira said she has received many inquiries regarding how
citizens will be involved in Coachman Park. She requested consideration to
appoint additional members to the Parks & Recreation Advisory Board, who
would form a subcommittee specifically for providing input on desired
activities at Coachman Park.
Discussion ensued with direction provided that staff seek the Parks &
Recreation Advisory Board input regarding increasing the Board's
membership to allow a subcommittee.
11.3ARPA Grant Awards Distribution Update - Councilmember Beckman
Economic Development & Housing Director Denise Sanderson reviewed the
distribution process approved by Council in November 2022. To date, $5.845
million has been encumbered and dispersed $885,000, with $4.96 million
pending disbursements. She said some of the challenges experienced in the
Affordable Housing Division included the collection of required
documentation and understanding how to deliver solar feasibility and
Page 13
City of Clearwater
Council Work Session Meeting Minutes June 12, 2023
education programs to eligible recipients. Cultural Affairs was also
challenged with the collection of required documentation and determination
of the payment schedule. The City Clerk Department has issued four of the
five grants agreements and finalizing negotiations with the final grant
awardee. The challenges experienced with the education grants related to
confirming BTR status of the grant recipients. Ms. Sanderson said the
education grant recipients received 50% of their award upfront. She said the
CRA is severely understaffed and has affected their ability to meet the initial
award timelines for the North Greenwood grants. Each North Greenwood
grant differs in scope, objectives, and size, further complicating the grant
agreement process. CRA staff hope to issue an initial round of grant awards
by June 16, 2023.
In response to questions, Ms. Sanderson said the Pinellas Community
Foundation is still working with clients who were at Capri Mobile Home Park
with housing navigation and short-term housing solutions. Phase 11 includes
a $1 million allocation for delivery of social services citywide. The review of
the letters of intent will occur on June 21, 2023.
12. New Business (items not on the agenda may be brought up asking they be
scheduled for subsequent meetings or work sessions in accordance with Rule 1,
Paragraph 2).
Vice Mayor Bunker said he would like to discuss changing the election date
to coincide with the primary or general election.
The City Attorney said modifying the election schedule can be modified by
ordinance for the next election cycle. The City Clerk said the next election
will coincide the Presidential Preference Primary.
Councilmember Beckman requested a discussion regarding changing
NAHAB to meet year-round as the AHAC.
13. Closing Comments by Mayor— None.
14. Adjourn
The meeting adjourned at 4:43 p.m.
