In 2019, a consortium of public safety entities in Pinellas County began
working on a unified CAD/RMS (Computer Aided Dispatch/Records
Management System) for public safety entities in Pinellas County. Since 2007,
the Clearwater Police Department (CPD) has been using TriTech. While this
product has serviced the department's needs, it does not integrate with all
public safety entities in Pinellas County.
In May 2021, the Pinellas County Sheriff published Request for Proposal (RFP)
21-02 for a CAD and RMS system based on the specifications determined by
the consortium. In October 2021, the consortium entered a memorandum of
Page 4
City of Clearwater
City Council Meeting Minutes November 20, 2025
understanding to establish a protocol on how to establish the PRIME work
group to evaluate the vendor responses received from Pinellas County Sheriff
RFP 21-02 and to provide the Pinellas County Sheriff feedback to make a
purchasing decision.
On May 19, 2022, Council approved an Interlocal Agreement (ILA) between the
City of Clearwater, City of Largo, City of Pinellas Park, Pinellas County, and
Pinellas County Sheriff to create the administrative entity of PRIME and agreed
to participate in the purchase, implementation, and operation of a shared CAD
and RMS.
Through a competitive procurement process conducted by the Pinellas County
Sheriff's Office, Hexagon was selected as the vendor to provide a CAD/RMS
product for all parties. The resulting contract negotiation process was
accomplished and pricing for each party was set in the manner defined in the
ILA. Each Party of the ILA is responsible to pay a pro rata share of the cost of
the CAD/RMS product to the Pinellas County Sheriff and the pro rata share for
the personnel and operating costs of PRIME, based on the number of user
licenses per Party.
The total costs of the Hexagon Contract for the initial purchase, not including
future maintenance costs, is $9,704,825.00. In the ILA, Pinellas County
committed to paying a not to exceed amount of$9.3M of the initial purchase
price of the CAD/RMS product, which included an additional RMS product
specific to the needs of FIRE and EMS.
Per the interlocal agreement that governs PRIME, the Board of Directors
approved the fiscal year 2026 budget, including allocations for each entity.
Based on the approved PRIME budget, the City of Clearwater's pro rata
responsibility for the CAD/RMS software products and for the personnel and
operating expenses of PRIME for fiscal year 2026 is $323,537.00. From this
pro rata amount, PRIME reimburses the City of Clearwater $246,320.40 to pay
for the maintenance costs for the department's current CAD provider. After the
CAD reimbursement, the actual cost to PRIME is $77.216.60. PRIME has
agreed to cover the cost of the current CAD system due to delivery and
implementation delays on the part of the CAD/RMS software vendor. The
PRIME Board of Directors has met with the leadership of the software vendor
about the delays and has a tentative agreement on fee concessions, updated
timeline for deliverables, and established a schedule for liquidated damages if
deliverables are not met.
APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT:
Funding for this purchase order is available in capital project C2201 - Police
CAD Project. This project is funded by revenues from the General Fund and
reimbursements from PRIME.
STRATEGIC PRIORITY:
This project is relevant towards accomplishing the strategic goal of a High
Page 5

City Council Meeting Minutes November 20, 2025
Performing Government, specifically strategic objective 1.4 to foster safe and
healthy communities in Clearwater through first-class public safety and
emergency response services.
One individual spoke in opposition.
Councilmember Mannino moved to approve a purchase order to
Pinellas Regional Information Management Enterprise (PRIME) for
the personnel and operating expense of PRIME in the amount of
$323,537.00 and authorize the appropriate officials to execute
same. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously.
6.5 Approve acceptance of the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Speeding
and Aggressive Driving 2026 Grant Award in the amount of$75,000.00 for police
overtime and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
The Clearwater Police Department (CPD) applied to the Florida Department of
Transportation (FDOT) for a grant-funded Speeding and Aggressive Driving
project. The grant has been awarded in the amount of$75,000.00. The grant
agreement requires indemnification of FDOT by the City; therefore, CPD seeks
approval to accept the award.
Over the past three years, the City of Clearwater has experienced a significant
number of traffic crashes, largely attributed to its fluctuating population. The
Clearwater Police Department's Traffic Homicide Team identified the following
contributing factors: eight fatalities linked to impairment and speed combined
with aggressive driving, four involving pedestrians, and four involving scooters
or motorcycles.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA),
there was a 3.2% decrease in traffic fatalities nationwide in early 2024, with an
estimated 8,650 fatalities. Despite this improvement, Florida ranks third in the
nation for fatal crashes. Pinellas County currently ranks eighth out of 26
counties for incidents involving speeding or aggressive driving, based on the
Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 Highway Safety Matrix. These rankings underscore the
continued need for proactive traffic safety measures.
Recognizing the need to enhance traffic safety efforts, the Clearwater Police
Department has faced challenges in dedicating regular-duty personnel solely to
traffic enforcement. This grant will allow CPD to implement additional targeted
enforcement and educational initiatives focusing on speeding and aggressive
driving.
Personnel selected for this project will be officers who have demonstrated a
strong interest and aptitude for traffic enforcement. High-Visibility Enforcement
operations will be conducted along roadways where speeding and/or
aggressive driving crashes are known to occur, as well as in areas identified as
high-risk or where citizen complaints are prevalent.
Page 6
City of Clearwater
City Council Meeting Minutes November 20, 2025
The project period will commence upon execution of the contract and conclude
on or before September 30, 2026.
During the grant period, CPD will:
• Conduct at least two high-visibility overtime enforcement operations per
month targeting speeding and/or aggressive driving.
• Conduct a minimum of one educational or community outreach event per
quarter to increase public awareness of the dangers associated with speeding
and aggressive driving.
• Disseminate educational materials through multimedia outlets (e.g., message
boards, local media, social media, press releases, and printed materials) at
least once per month.
There will be no adverse impact on the Police Department's annual operating
budget, nor is a local match required.
APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT:
A first quarter budget amendment will establish special project,
1817521-G2606 - FDOT Speeding and Aggressive Driving Grant 2026, to
account for all related grant expenditures.
STRATEGIC PRIORITY:
This project aligns with the City's strategic goal of maintaining a
High-Performing Government, specifically Strategic Objective 1.4 - to foster
safe and healthy communities in Clearwater through first-class public safety
and emergency response services.

The Police Department is seeking to replace existing equipment and
accessories due to the equipment being at end of life. The requested
equipment would be utilized by the Special Weapons and Tactics Team
(SWAT) and the Patrol Division.
Page 7
City of Clearwater
City Council Meeting Minutes November 20, 2025
The package for SWAT will include the following:
• 2 Interior Drones, 1 Robot, 1 Pole Camera, and all accessories
• Full Warranty (Replace or fix any damage to the devices throughout the
5 years)
• TAP Upgrade (Upgrade to the next generation Drones, pole cam, robot
and controller when released)
• Operator course for training up to 8 officers.
The package for Patrol will include the following:
• 1 Robot, Controller, 1 Pole Camera, and all accessories
• Full warranty (Replace or fix any damage to the devices throughout the
five years)

generation released.
For the SWAT package, the technology will be used during SWAT operations
to gather intelligence and to clear area from a safer location without inserting
officers. For the Patrol package, the robot and the camera can be utilized by
patrol level officers to help clear a structure during a call for service from a safe
distance. Both products allow officers to leverage technology to increase
officer and citizen safety.
The cost for the SWAT package is $61,956.60 over five years, specifically
$15,283.32 for the first year and $11,668.32 annually for the remaining four
years. The cost for the Patrol package is $34,804.20 over five years,

Funding for the four subsequent years ($18,629.16 per year) will be requested
as part of the annual Police Department budget process.
This project, and the operating budget of the Police Department, is funded by
revenues from the General Fund.

6.7 Approve First Amendment to the Clearwater Undergrounding of Electric Utilities
Project Interlocal Agreement (ILA) with Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority (PSTA)
and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
On March 17, 2025, City Council approved an ILA with PSTA providing funding
and management of Duke to underground electric utilities along the west side
of Myrtle Ave., Cleveland St. to Court St. in support of the new city hall, MSB
renovations and the PSTA multi modal transit center projects. The city paid
Duke a total of$671,431.56 with PSTA reimbursing the city for 25% of the total
cost or $167,858. Council approved use of CRA funds to cover the city's
portion of this utility undergrounding work.
This first amendment provides for PSTA's additional contribution of$14,967.49
for work required to connect CSX equipment, not originally anticipated. PSTA's
payment to Duke will be a pass-through cost to the city. No additional funding
is needed by the city.

Page 9
City of Clearwater
City Council Meeting Minutes November 20, 2025
Tuesday. No meetings are held the first Thursday in January and July, or the
third Thursday in December.
Staff has identified the following conflicts:
1. To accommodate the observance of Passover, staff recommends
scheduling a council meeting only that week (no consent agenda):
a. Passover -April 1, 2026 through April 9, 2026.
Council Meeting: Monday, March 30, 2026.
2. To accommodate Jazz Holiday (October 15-18, 2026), staff
recommends moving the Thursday, October 15 council meeting to
Wednesday, October 14.
3. To accommodate councilmember travel, staff is seeking direction with
the following suggestions:
a. Not hold a second council meeting in March (cancel the
Monday, March 16 work session and Thursday, March 19 council
meeting).
b. Move the Monday, April 13 work session and Thursday, April 16
council meeting to Monday, April 20 and Thursday, April 23.
In addition, staff is proposing a special council meeting on Wednesday,
September 16 at 6:00 p.m. to adopt the millage.
At the November 17, 2025 work session, there was council consensus to
cancel the March 16 work session and the March 19 council meetings; move
the April 13 work session and April 16 council meetings to Monday, April 20
and Thursday, April 23.
One individual expressed concern that the proposed meeting schedule
did not include any town hall meetings.

meeting schedule. The motion was duly seconded and carried
unanimously.
Public Hearings - Not before 6:00 PM
7. Administrative Public Hearings

Page 10
City of Clearwater

Act Relating to Platting; and pass Ordinance 9856-25 on first reading.
Currently, in the City of Clearwater, preliminary plats may be approved
administratively by the Community Development Coordinator or by the
Community Development Board at a public hearing, while final plats require
City Council approval. Proposed Ordinance No. 9856-25 updates the
Community Development Code to align with recent state legislation. Senate Bill
784 (effective July 1, 2025) transfers final plat and replat approvals from City
Council to administrative review and establishes new requirements for written
notice.
The Planning and Development Department has determined that the proposed
text amendments to the Community Development Code are consistent with
and further the goals, objectives, and policies of the Comprehensive Plan and
the Community Development Code, as outlined in the staff report.
The Community Development Board, in its capacity as the Local Planning
Agency (LPA), will review the proposed amendments to the Community
Development Code at its regularly scheduled meeting on November 18, 2025.
Staff will present the Board's recommendation to the City Council at its
meeting.
STRATEGIC PRIORITY:
These proposed amendments support the Economic & Housing Opportunity
goal of the city's Strategic Plan by streamlining the platting process through
administrative review, which may be perceived as reducing barriers to new
development.
Ordinance 9856-25 was presented and read by title only.

Page 11
City of Clearwater
City Council Meeting Minutes November 20, 2025
Ordinance No. 9857-25 proposes amendments to the Community
Development Code (CDC) to align development review procedures and
timelines with recent legislative changes adopted through Senate Bill 1080
(2025), effective July 1, 2025. The Ordinance also updates the Minimum
Standard Development review process to reflect longstanding permitting
practices and includes several clarifications to improve internal consistency
and implementation. These changes maintain regulatory compliance, enhance
procedural transparency, and support predictable review timelines for
applicants.
Key Amendment Areas

during completeness review, with applications withdrawn if not made
complete within this timeframe.
• Extends the Development Review Committee's legal sufficiency review
period from 18 to 25 business days to better align with review
schedules and allow earlier issuance of comments.
• Extends the timeframe for scheduling the Community Development
Board hearing from 33 to 38 days to align with the Board's existing third
Tuesday monthly meeting schedule. (No change to actual meeting
dates or public noticing practices.)
• Codifies maximum review durations of 180 days (quasi-judicial) and
120 days (administrative) for final action, consistent with statutory
requirements.
• Updates process flow diagrams to reflect revised timeframes.
3. Code Clarifications & Minor Amendments
• Clarifies respective responsibilities of the Community Development
Coordinator and Building Official during building permit review.
• Streamlines procedures for denial notices and resubmittal timing.
• Aligns the validity of Development Orders with the building permit
review stage and refines criteria for extension requests, providing
clearer guidance for applicants and reducing uncertainty during the
permitting process.
• Adjusts minor revision provisions for consistency across zoning
districts, including Downtown and U.S. 19.
• Incorporates clerical and terminology corrections for internal
consistency.

9. City Manager Reports — None.
10. City Attorney Reports
In response to questions regarding a letter sent by Councilmember
Allbritton to Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, the City Attorney
said he learned about the letter on Monday morning from the City
Manager. He was not aware that the letter was being contemplated.
Councilmember Allbritton said he was seeking clarification on the
Garden Avenue matter as he believes it will come back up again when
the Church of Scientology reapplies. He said the document written by
the City Attorney and the letter by Mr. Potter are at odds with each
other. He said the letter did not include the name of any councilmember
and sought clarification for himself on the matter if the Church reapplied.
The City Attorney said the Attorney General has the right, per statute, to
give advisory opinions on the request of any local official. Historically,
the Attorney General has not given advisory opinions except on the
request of the collegial body. Councilmember Allbritton said he met with
the Church, but they did not specifically request a letter be written.
Discussion ensued with comments made that the collegial body was
given advice and the matter closed because it was up to a petitioner
moving forward.
11. Closing comments by Councilmembers (limited to 3 minutes)
Vice Mayor Teixeira reviewed recent events and mentioned that the
