A
A
Good
morning
and
welcome
to
the
Clearwater
city
council
meeting,
we
are
sitting
in
as
the
community
redevelopment
Agency
for
our
first
meeting
today.
Anyone
that
wishes
to
address
the
council
during
items
for
citizens
to
be
hurt
not
on
the
agenda.
Please
come
forward
and
fill
out
a
comment
card
and
when
you
recognize
please
turn
the
card
into
the
clerk
all
right.
Let's
we'll
call
the
meeting
to
order
and
do
we
have
an
approval
of
the
minutes
from
the
last
meeting.
A
C
A
project
must
include
one
or
more
public
amenities
or
make
a
payment
in
lieu
of
providing
those
and
those
public
amenities
are
the
types
or
listed
Within
chapter
four
of
the
downtown
plan
So.
Currently,
there
are
just
over
2
000
dwelling
units
and
about
over
2
million
square
feet
of
floor
area
available
through
the
pool
which
can
be
allocated
by
the
Community
Development
board
for
a
project
anywhere
within
the
downtown
district.
C
The
proposed
amendments
established
that
either
the
Community
Development
coordinator,
which
is
the
planning
and
development
director
or
the
Community
Development
board,
May
approve
allocations
from
the
pool.
This
change
would
allow
those
units
to
be
allocated
without
the
need
for
a
public
hearing,
thus
allowing
for
a
streamlining
of
the
process.
C
A
companion
Amendment
to
the
Community
Development
code
will
be
presented
later
this
morning
to
the
city
council,
which
would
implement
this
change.
The
downtown
plan,
as
I
mentioned,
also
lists
the
various
amenities
that
could
be
incorporated
into
eligible
projects
to
to
for
them
to
be
able
to
request
units
or
density
or
intensity
from
the
pool.
This
ordinance
restructures
that
list
and
also
expands
the
list
of
eligible
amenities.
C
For
example,
residential
units
have
always
been
included
on
this
list,
but
changes
add
emphasis
for
the
need
for
residential
rental
units
also
noted
as
Class
A
office
space
is
needed
in
the
downtown
core
and
in
the
Prospect
Park
or
Prospect
Lake
character,
districts.
Sustainable
development
techniques
are
proposed
to
be
added,
such
as
providing
solar
panels,
EV
Chargers
or
achieving
a
Green
Building
certification.

If,
whenever
we
do
these
kinds
of
documents,
I
don't
know
if
it's
but
you've
got
on
page
404,
allowing
sustainable
design
options
as
potential
amenities
for
which
pool
allocations
can
be
granted,
helps
to
address
certain
contributors
to
housing,
affordability
and
furthers
the
city's
desire
for
livable
communities
as
downtown
develops,
but
I
think
you
know
even
and
helps
us
meet
our
green
print,
2.0
goals
or
something
like
that.
Be
nice
I'd
just
like
to
keep.
C
E
F
A
Nothing
else
on
this
item.
Okay,
all
right,
do
we
need
an
approval.
It
says
work
I'm,
an
approval.
Okay,
so
do
we
have
a
motion
to
approve
move
to
approve
all
in
favor
aye
opposed
unanimous?
Thank
you.
Okay
approve
allocating
remaining
white
box,
Grant
funds
to
the
business
renovation
grant
program.
G
Good
morning,
good
morning,
Jay
Matthew
CRA
director
at
the
January
9th
CRA
meeting
staff
requested
terminating
the
white
box
grant
program
because
it's
so
similar
to
the
business
development
grant
program
which
provides
a
hundred
thousand
in
funding
or
up
to
100
000.
In
funding
to
date,
there
have
been
seven
grants
in
that
program.
Totaling
two,
two
hundred
seventy
seven
thousand
seven
hundred
twenty
two
dollars
the
cra's
white
white
box
grant
program
was
established
with
a
300K
budget.
G
Today
there
is
currently
one
approved
application
for
that
Grant.
An
active
Grant
at
fifty
thousand,
so
staff
recommends
moving
the
remaining
two
hundred
fifty
thousand
dollars
from
the
terminated
white
box
program,
which
you
forgot
to
do
then
to
the
business
renovation
grant
program
which
would
bring
that
balance
to
272
278
dollars.
Four
applications
are
pending
approval
for
that
particular
program:
the
business
renovation,
and
so
that
would
be
the
reason
for
recommending
that
we
move
this
money
to
the
white
I'm,
sorry
to
the
business
renovation
program
from
white
box.
B
G
H
G
Under
the
white
box
that
was
when
we
presented
in
January,
we
found
that
or
the
staff
found
that
when
applicants
apply
for
the
white
box,
they'll
find
out
that
the
business
renegration
offered
so
much
more,
so
they
would
just
go
apply
for
that.
That's
right,
which
is
why
we
originally
terminated
that
program.
It's
very
similar,
just
offering
a
larger
amount.
So
we
have
four
pending
for
business
renovation
and
the
need
is
there
and
then
we
have
the
funds
sitting
in
white
box
and
it's
a
terminated
program.
G
Good
morning
again,
J
Matthew
CRA
director,
so
I'm
going
to
start
with
new
businesses.
Some
amazing
news.
Since
we
last
met,
we
have
had
three
businesses
open
in
the
downtown
CRA.
We
have
a
Hilly's
ice
cream
which
opened
in
the
downtown
Gateway
as
well
as
flamboyant,
and
the
captain's
Cigar
Lounge
soon
Nash
keys
will
be
opening
we're
expecting
a
grand
opening
to
take
place
the
end
of
May.
That
will
definitely
be
the
first
floor.
However,
if
the
elevator
and
the
fire
escape
are
manufactured,
delivered
and
installed
in
time,
there
is
a
possibility,
then.
G
Our
goals
are
to
ensure
that
events
attendees
are
well
aware,
what's
downtown
as
it
relates
to
businesses
encourage
to
drive
foot
traffic
from
the
park,
events
back
down
to
Cleveland
Street
or
the
downtown
district,
as
well
as
the
downtown
Gateway.
Our
grants
programs
are
currently
under
audit
and
reviews.
Still,
we
hope
to
I
will
complete
that
by
the
end
of
this
month,
so
I'll
be
back
to
the
trustees
next
month
for
approval
to
either
launch
new
programs
modify
different
programs
so
that
we
can
begin
opening
programs
again
as
it
relates
to
Grants,
beginning
June
1st.
G
G
Also,
in
the
month
of
June,
we
will
be
celebrating
Pride
downtown
with
several
activities
as
well
as
Juneteenth,
which
is
a
three-day
celebration
this
year,
that
is
in
collaboration
with
the
Clearwater
Urban
Leadership
coalition
September
as
a
part
of
living,
the
culture
Hispanic
Heritage
Month
we're
going
to
be
celebrating
the
grand
opening
of
the
Mercado,
which
is
on
scheduled
to
be
complete
in
August.
Although
the
streetscape
down
there
is
scheduled
to
be
complete
before
the
opening
of
the
park.
G
Certainly,
we
want
that
open
and
flowing
to
help
with
the
coastman
park
crowd
and
traffic
outside
of
living.
The
culture
great
things
are
coming
up
next
month,
salsa
de
Mayo
in
the
district
is
May
6.
it'll
be
taking
place
in
the
CRA
on
Cleveland
and
Garden
Avenue,
also
May
12th.
The
opening
of
the
new
Clyde
Butcher
exhibit
in
the
mark
in
the
main
library
that
will
have
a
grand
opening
event
at
7
p.m,
on
May,
12th
and
also
May,
20th
and
July.
22Nd
is
an
opportunity
for
Stevens
Creek
cleanup.
G
That
has
been
a
regular
topic,
particularly
down
at
you
know,
in
the
Gateway
that
there's
been
litter
and
concerns
about
the
pollution
in
the
Stevenson
Creek,
and
so
a
partnership
between
a
Pinellas
keep
Pinellas
beautiful,
as
well
as
the
city's
sustainability
office,
they're,
offering
two
cleanups
again:
May
20th
and
July
22nd
and
those
events
are
taking
place
from
9
to
12
9
A.M
to
12
P.M.
So
lots
of
opportunities
for
us
to
help
keep
our
part
of
Pinellas
beautiful.
G
Additionally,
when
it
relates
to
the
Gateway
we're
looking
at
Place
making
programs
to
incorporate
some
type
of
maybe
dumpster
enclosure.
When
we
find
out
that
we
have
the
all
look
clear
to
do
so
as
well
as
looking
at
storm
storm
drains
or
screens
for
the
storm
drains.
It's
something
that's
an
Innovative
practice.
That's
used
all
over.
G
It
hasn't
been
used
yet,
but
our
office
of
sustainability
is
looking
at
ways
that
we
can
put
a
screen
to
stop
the
trash
from
going
into
the
drains,
particularly
when
dumpsters
are
very
closely
positioned
or
situated
next
to
drains
or
Curves.
So
our
office
of
sustainability
is
working
with
us
in
conjunction
with
the
CRA
to
make
that
happen
for
a
safer,
cleaner,
more
environmental,
friendly,
Stevens,
Creek
Stevenson
Creek
as
it
relates
to
our
CRA
structure.
I,
have
submitted
a
new
organizational
chart
and
changes
to
HR.
G
The
restructure
includes
modifying
and
optimizing
current
or
staff
roles
with
the
CRA
staff.
Those
changes
will
be
will
be
effective
according
to
HR
the
22nd
of
this
month,
and
we
are
adding
to
the
team
and
expanding
so
that
we
can
be
best
equipped
to
service
the
downtown
district,
the
downtown
Gateway
and
all
that
is
required
for
the
soon
coming,
Coachman
Park,
Mercado
and
North
Greenwood
cra.
G
B
G
So
the
storm
drain
screens
are
able
to
be
fixed,
I
think
rather
quickly.
Some
Melody
from
The
Office
of
sustainable
from
sustainability
has
provided
me
with
what
they
look
like
I
didn't
even
know
they
existed.
She
said
they
were
used
in
various
countries
and
something
to
stop
the
big
stuff
big
stuff
are
coming
down.
G
So
I
think
that's
something
that
could
be
implemented
quickly
and
something
that
the
CRA
can
work
on
as
a
project
also
with
the
enclosures
I
think
we're
waiting
to
work
through
some
ordinance
ambiguity
or
some
questions
around
the
ordinances
that
are
there
that
are
not
allowing
certain
dumpsters
to
be
enclosed.
I
think
we
have
a
team
together
to
work
on
that
on
a
larger,
a
more
broad
capacity,
so
that
came
from
our
strategy
meeting.
So
we're
still
working
through
that
to
see
what
we
can
do.
G
We
just
want
to
get
the
program
ready
and
the
CRA
is
going
to
take
care
of
we're
already
working
on
what
it
will
look
like
what
the
materials
are.
Is
it
sustainable
how
we
can
involve
the
community
in
the
art
around
those
dumpsters
The
Branding,
what
it
will
look
like
to
be
sure
it's
consistent
through
the
neighborhood,
and
so
once
we
have
the
go
ahead,
we'll
be
ready
to
go.
B
G
B
I
think
that's
best
practices
if
we
have
other
parts
of
the
city
that
have
drains
that
are
vulnerable
to
a
bunch
of
trash
and
stuff
we'd
want
those
screens
throughout
right
to
protect
our
Waters
and
then
the
last
thing.
So
you
said
the
north
Greenwood
CRA
is
going
May
22nd
to
the
county,
and
so
then
does
it
need
a
pardon,
May,
23rd,
oh
23rd,
and
then
after
that,
does
it
have
to
go
up
to
the
state
for
some
final
final
approval,
or
are
we
done
after
May,
23rd
I.
G
B
E
May
be
a
question
for
our
city
manager
pictures
that
we
have
of
the
dumpsters
that
are
overflowing
and
causing
the
problems
with
you
know
getting
into
the
storm
drains
and
things
is
there
anything
we
can
do
with
I
mean
if
dumpsters
are
overflowing
all
the
time,
forcing
those
people
to
get
a
bigger,
dumpster
or
two
dumpsters
or
you
know
to
me.
That's
just
unacceptable.
Yeah.
I
I
Now,
not
every
space
that
some
of
these
are
occurring
at
has
the
room
for
a
larger
container.
But
again
we
have
other
options
in
terms
of
additional
pickups,
so
we
are
deploying
all
of
those
and
also
making
sure
that
our
drivers,
when
they're
out
on
their
route
that
they
are
writing
in
to
let
us
know
when
they're,
seeing
these
dumpsters
that
are
constantly
overflowing.
So
we've
got
a
lot
of
resources
looking
at
this,
so
that
we
have
a
multi-pronged
approach
to
get
this
addressed.

A
N
Good
morning
trustees,
Jay
Ravens,
Finance
director.
This
is
our
annual
review
of
investment
performance
for
the
plan.
This
document
summarizes
the
performance
of
the
total
Investment
Portfolio
versus
its
benchmark,
as
well
as
each
of
the
22
separate
money.
Managers
for
the
various
asset
classes,
I,
unfortunately,
won't
be
as
brief
as
Billy
was
with
her
items,
but
I'll
try
to
move
through
this
as
quickly
as
I
can.
But
please
interrupt
me
with
any
questions.
N
N
Additionally,
some
of
our
traditionally
strongest
performing
money
managers
were
out
of
favor
for
calendar
2022,
due
primarily
to
the
sectors
that
they
were
invested
in.
It
was
a
very
unusual
year
with,
for
example,
the
energy
sector,
realizing
a
positive
65
percent
gain
for
the
year
with
most
other
sectors,
realizing
significantly
negative
returns
from
11
to
40
percent.
N
I'll,
now
briefly,
run
through
the
22
money
managers.
Our
large
cap
growth,
money
manager,
the
Northern
Trust
Index
Fund,
is
a
relatively
new
money
manager
hired
in
November
2020.,
and
it
performed
pretty
much
at
the
index.
As
expected,
we
have
three
large
cap
value
managers,
Eagle
Capital,
Manning
and
Napier,
and
the
Northern
Trust
Index
Fund
Eagle
Capital
had
a
very
challenging
year
due
to
being
significantly
underweight
versus
the
index
to
the
energy
sector,
which,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
realized
the
65
percent
return
for
the
year.
N
This
significantly
impacted
their
performance
relative
to
the
index.
However,
they
have
consistently
outperformed
their
index
in
each
of
the
four
prior
years.
They
continue
to
stay
true
to
the
style
we
hired
them
for,
and
we
expect
them
to
continue
to
outperform
over
the
long
term.
We
will
continue
to
monitor
their
performance,
but
we
did
just
get
their
first
quarter.
2023
performance,
they
had
a
12
percent
return
versus
a
one
percent
return
for
the
index,
so
they've
already
had
a
significant
bounce
back.
N
Manning
and
Napier
had
a
good
year
outperforming
the
index
by
360
basis.
Points
they've
also
performed
well
on
a
long-term
basis,
and
we
expect
that
to
continue
the
northern
track.
Northern
Trust
index
large
cap
value
fund
performed
pretty
much
at
the
index.
As
expected,
we
have
one
mid-cap
growth
manager,
Artisan
partners,
Artisan
similar
to
Eagle
Capital
was
significantly
underweight
to
energy
and
consequently,
underperformed
versus
the
index.
N
Our
small
cap
growth
manager,
River
River
Ridge
Partners,
again
fell
victim
to
not
investing
in
the
energy
sector,
causing
them
to
under
underperform
for
the
year
despite
the
down
year.
They
continue
to
significantly
outperform
the
index
on
the
three-year
and
five-year
basis,
and
we
expect
the
strong
performance
to
continue.
N
We
have
two
International
Equity
managers
that
invest
in
developed
countries,
wcm
and
tsnw
both
had
down
years
due
to
their
country
and
sector
allocations
that
both
continue
to
outperform
on
the
longer
three-year
and
five-year
periods.
We
expect
this
long-term
outperformance
to
continue.
We
have
one
Emerging,
Markets,
International,
Equity
manager,
DFA.
N
We
have
two
fixed
income
managers,
dodging
Cox
and
Western
Asset
Management,
dodging
Cox
has
outperformed
the
index
for
the
one
year
three
year
and
five-year
periods,
while
western
western
asset
Management's
performance
has
been
pretty
much
at
the
index
for
those
periods.
We
don't
have
any
concerns
with
these
managers
at
this
time
either.
N
A
real
estate,
core
manager,
multiple
multi-employer
Property
Trust,
slightly
outperformed
for
the
one-year
period
and
has
underperformed
the
index
on
the
three-year
and
five-year
time
frames.
We
are
pleased
with
the
overall
absolute
long-term
returns
for
this
manager,
and
at
this
time
we
don't
have
any
concerns
with
their
investment
style
and
execution,
but
we're
watching
them
closely.
N
We
have
one
real
estate,
Reit
manager,
security,
capital,
security,
Capital
slightly
underperformed
on
the
one-year
basis,
slightly
outperformed
for
the
three
and
five
years.
No
concerns
at
this
time.
With
this
manager's
performance,
the
plan
participates
in
three
Timber
limited
Partnerships,
one
with
Hancock
and
two
with
malpas.
N
Overall
we've
been
disappointed
with
our
long-term
Timber
returns
that
that
are
hopeful
of
that.
The
managers
at
this
time
are
are
well
poised
for
improved
performance.
The
timber
sector
is
there's
some
cause
for
optimism
currently
with
with
that
sector
and
we're
hoping
to
see
those
returns,
improve
those
limited
Partnerships
terminate
in
five
day
years,
still
a
little
while
before
we're
out
of
Timber.
N
N
In
summary,
we
continue
to
carefully
monitor
the
performance
of
all
these
money
managers
on
a
quarterly
basis,
with
the
assistance
of
the
plan's
investment
consultant
cap
Trust,
with
an
emphasis
on
long-term
performance
of
the
managers
versus
their
respective
indexes.
We
will
continue
to
provide
the
trustees
with
recommendations
for
terminations
as
appropriate,
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
Quick.
A
N
B
N
A
A
K
Council
I
received
a
request
from
staff
to
continue
this
item
to
a
date.
Uncertain
legal
has
raised
some
questions
regarding
the
tax
credits
and
there
are
other
areas
of
the
project
that
are
being
questioned.
So
sap
needs
an
additional
time,
they're
going
to
try
for
the
next
meeting,
but
it's
still
not
known
if
they're
going
to
make
it
for
the
next
meeting.
But
for
the
moment
it's
continued.
L
Name
is
Brianna
hartigan
I'm,
the
director
of
operations
and
sustainability
coordinator
for
Ruth
Hector
Paul.
We're
excited
to
present
our
plan
for
sustainability
at
the
sound
at
Coachman.
Park
we'd
also
like
to
extend
a
big
thank
you
to
Micah
and
Melody
from
the
city
for
their
guidance
throughout
this
process.
L
Sustainability
is
defined
as
the
ability
to
meet
the
needs
of
the
president
without
compromising
the
ability
of
future
generations
to
meet
their
own
needs.
In
essence,
planning
for
long-term
future
needs,
while
making
plans
and
decisions
to
balance
economic,
Prosperity,
Environmental,
Quality
and
human
quality
of
life.
L
Sustainable
event,
venues
work
with
nature
and
are
aware
of
their
limited
natural
resources,
as
they
provide
entertainment
and
recreational
space
for
a
large
volume
of
visitors
throughout
the
year.
They
operate
in
appreciation
for
the
natural
environment,
minimizing
waste
and
always
seeking
ways
to
re
to
use
renewable
resources,
while
maintaining
livability.
L
L
L
According
to
Green
print,
electricity
is
the
biggest
contributor
to
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
Reducing
the
amount
of
energy
used
throughout
efficiency.
Improvements
at
the
venue
will
be
key.
The
city
has
already
constructed
the
park
to
include
Green
Building
practices,
as
it
is
built
to
nationally
recognize
leadership
and
energy
and
environmental
design
silver
standard.
L
L
Transportation
is
the
second
largest
contributor
to
the
city's
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
One
of
the
ways
we
can
help
reduce
emissions
is
by
supporting
and
promoting
multimodal
Transportation,
such
as
public
transport,
biking,
walking
and
ride
sharing.
We
will
embrace
the
use
of
alternatively
fueled
or
electric
vehicles
as
a
means
of
transport
to
our
events.
This
information
is
going
to
be
shared
on
our
website
in
our
know,
before
you
go
emails
which
provide
vital
details
to
patrons
about
their
upcoming
visit
and
in
our
customer
service
interactions.
L
Greenprint
describes
a
livable
neighborhood
as
one
that
is
Pleasant,
safe,
affordable
and
supportive
to
its
members
to
support
the
city's
strategies
and
initiatives.
The
venue
will
support
livability
through
conservation
as
it
relates
to
Ocean
friendly
practices
by
avoiding
materials
and
supplies
that
pose
a
danger
to
Marine
wildlife
and
opting
for
biodegradable
and
compostable
products.
We
can
help
reduce
water
pollution.
L
While
the
city
of
Clearwater
has
developed
the
park
and
space
with
conservation
techniques,
water-wise
landscaping
and
low
impact
development,
the
venue
operations
team
will
primarily
use
information
and
behavioral
change
to
inform
visitors
of
individual
water
conservation
habits.
We
can
do
this
by
including
signage
or
stickers
in
restrooms
kitchens
shower
units
or
laundry
rooms
when
appropriate,
to
remind
visitors
that
their
efforts
make
a
difference.
L
L
We
are
actively
moving
towards
digital
and
paperless
Solutions,
wherever
possible,
with
mobile,
friendly
tickets
and
digital
Communications
and
marketing
to
reduce
our
paper
consumption,
we
will
distribute
reusable
containers
like
aluminum
drinking
cups
when
possible,
an
incentivize
reuse
with
our
products
and
swag.
We
will
also
be
exploring
opportunities
to
promote
a
green
community.
Through
events
like
Trash
to
Treasure.
L
Local
food
sourcing
can
be
beneficial
to
the
environment
in
many
ways
as
it
uses
less
transportation
and
consequently
causes
less
carbon
emissions.
Local
food
choices
encourage
healthier,
whole
and
less
processed
options
and
benefits
the
local
economy.
We
plan
to
partner
with
local
Growers
and
feature
local
products
within
our
artist,
hospitality
and
food
and
beverage
service.
L
By
supporting
green
practices,
the
park
will
continue
to
Foster
green
business
and
green
economic
growth.
This
will
be
an
opportunity
to
highlight
a
successful
case
in
sustainable
venues
and
will
encourage
positive
changes
in
the
events
and
hospitality
industry.
We
can
contribute
to
a
green
economy
with
the
creation
of
sustainable
guides
for
guests
and
visiting
artists.
We
will
showcase
our
green
practices
through
the
multi-channel
promotions
and
seek
out
opportunities
for
Innovative
new
practices,
and,
finally,
we
will
encourage
green
jobs
as
more
opportunities
arise
and
serve
as
an
industry
model
for
sustainable
venues.
L
So
how
are
we
going
to
implement
this
plan
and
track
our
performance?
Who
will
be
responsible
sustainability,
coordinator
and
other
key
staff
will
be
responsible
for
specific
areas
of
the
plan's
execution?
Progress
and
results
will
be
communicated
regularly
to
senior
leadership
at
Ruth
Eckard
Hall
in
the
city
of
Clearwater.
We
will
stay
in
open
communication
with
our
ocean
allies
community
and
seek
guidance
and
collaboration
with
the
city's
sustainability
team.
L
Every
Park,
Visitor
staff,
member
performer
and
vendor
has
a
stake
in
sustainability
of
our
shared
recreational
space
at
the
sound
at
Coachman
Park.
This
plan
is
just
the
first
step
of
an
ever-changing
document
intended
to
adapt
and
grow
to
meet
the
future
needs
of
the
Clearwater
Community,
while
providing
world-class
entertainment
and
service
to
all.
B
B
So,
as
far
as
we're
talking
about
the
venue
operation
So
within
those
the
fenced-in
area,
that
Ruth
Eckerd
Hall
controls
and
the
food
truck
and
the
power
and
energy
that's
used
when
Ruth
Eckerd
Hall
has
a
presence
down
there
when
something's
going
on
so
is
it
accurate
that
Ruth
Eckerd
Hall
is
in
charge
of
all
of
the
energy
costs
related
to
The
Venue
operation?
So
water,
sewer
appliances,
lights,
sound
everything,
that's
a
bill,
that's
paid
by
Ruth,
Eckhart
Hall!
Is
that
correct,
fantastic?
B
Okay,
I
think
that's
good,
because
you
know
I
want
the
person
who's,
paying
the
bill
to
be
in
charge
of
the
thermostat
and
all
that
stuff.
So
fantastic
I
would
encourage
Ruth
Eckert
Hall.
You
know
to
think
a
little
bit
about
partnering
with
synergistics
who
helps
the
city
lower
their
energy
costs
significantly,
and
it's
really
at
no
cost
to
you.
You
share
the
savings
and
I
see
Susan
nodding,
so
you're,
aware
of
synergistics
they're
doing
great
things
throughout
the
county.
They
have
phenomenal
numbers
with
the
Pinellas
County
Schools
and
they're.
B
Having
we're
going
to
have
our
report
next
month,
I
believe
on
our
first
year
with
them.
So
I
think
that's
fantastic
I
notice
in
part
of
the
whether
it's
this
PowerPoint
or
the
one
that
the
other
one
that's
attached,
that
you're
going
to
have
monthly
reports
to
your
leadership.
Truth
I
think
and
ours
are
like
biannually,
I
think
initially
it'd
be
nice
to
have
those
reports
a
little
more
frequently
just
to
see
where
we're
at
and
what
it
looks
like
and
again.
B
I
think
there's
a
whole
lot
of
Grace
as
we
start,
because
there's
so
much
that's
unknown
I,
you
know
wholeheartedly
applaud
your
goal
now
you
you
had
said
in
your
language
here,
so
this
is
on
the
livability
slide,
so
prohibit
distribution
of
items
or
practices
that
are
harmful
to
Wildlife
balloons,
confetti
and
plastic
straws
and
monitor
compliance.
So
distribution
means
we're
not
going
to
sell
it
inside
that
venue.
You
all
aren't
going
to
sell
it
or
allow
it.
B
The
plastic,
okay,
great,
that's,
fantastic
and
then
prioritize
the
use
of
biodegradable
products.
So
maybe
like
are
you
thinking
of
incentivizing
the
vendors
to
use
those
kinds
of
things?
Okay
and
then
prohibit
distribution
of
what
caught
my
eye
here?
Was
distribution
of
single-use
plastic
wear
and
styrofoam
packaging
and
monitor
compliance
and
I?
Think
you
had
said
just
single-use
plastic,
which
I
I
view
as
a
difference
between
utensils
and
water
bottles
and
beverage
bottles
so
which
is
it?
Is
it
both
utensils
and
single-use
beverage
bottles?
Yeah.
B
Fantastic,
that's
great
too,
all
right,
one
of
the
things
you
had
which
just
because
there's
also
I,
think
it
must
be
the
other
PowerPoint.
Are
you
going
to
go
through
the
other
PowerPoint
as
well?
Oh,
okay,
there's
one
about
a
timeline
of
when
things
are
going
to
happen,
and
so
you've
got
on
water
conservation,
one
tangible
to
increase
awareness
of
water
use
and
promote
behavioral
changes,
placing
stickers
in
restrooms
kitchen
shower
units
laundry
rooms,
all
that
stuff
where
appropriate.
You
have
that,
like
I,
don't
know
August
late
August
or
something
I'm
thinking.
B
B
B
All
right
and
then
yeah
again
on
the
waste
reduction
and
then
you've
got
your
reporting
back
so
I.
Have
you
know
what
metrics
will
be
used
to
show
success
in
each
column
and
I?
Think
it's
not.
You
know,
I,
don't
ask
that
question
to
like
micromanage,
but
it's
to
understand
what
our
usage
is
track
it.
B
Hopefully
we
can
lower
it,
but
most
importantly,
I
think
it's
for
celebrating
celebrating
that
we're
even
measuring
it
that
we
care
that
we
care
we're
going
to
measure
and
we
are
determined
to
keep
it
as
low
as
possible
and
educate.
Your
education
part
is
is
fantastic,
so
I,
yeah,
I,
think
I.
Think
that's
about
all
I've
got.
H
B
B
Yeah,
so
maybe
if
we
can
just
have
those
reports
more
frequently
than
just
and
then
I
guess,
under
oversight
and
accountability,
you've
got
sustainability.
Coordinator
serves
as
Point
person
for
communicating
expectations
and
opportunities,
and
that's
both
of
our
sustainable
you,
as
well
as
our
sustainability
coordinator,
yeah.
B
And
then
just
to
be
clear,
this
is
not
a
legally
binding
plan,
correct
and
then
the
other
thing
is
if
it
changes.
So,
if
you
find
out
that
oh
my
gosh
people
are
throwing
a
fit
because
they
can't
have
a
balloon
right
there
near
the
water
and
you
you
decide
you're
going
to
change
something
I
mean:
do
you
get
approval
or
notice
for
the
city
with
the
city
that
we're
going
to
change
this
component
of
it.
B
B
B
L
F
A
E
E
You
know
when
I
go
places
now
being
from
Clearwater
and
knowing
that,
if
you're
out
on
the
beach
you're
not
going
to
have
a
styrofoam
cup
or
a
plastic
straw,
you
know
you're
going
to
have
things
that
are
conducive
to
sustainability.
It's
nice
I
go
I
notice
that
in
other
places
I
go
to
so
this
will
be
I
think
a
great
place
to
show
that
our
commitment
so
great
plan.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
You
Mr
Martin,
really
love
hearing
all
the
details.
Thank
you.
Great
job,
yeah
I
just
want
to
add
that
I
think
it
was
a
very
well
put
together
plan
very
thoughtful
I'm,
looking
forward
to
it
being
implemented
and
looking
looking
forward
to
being
sustainable
and
no
balloons.
No
changes
like
that
and
I
know
you
guys
are
going
to
do
a
great
job.
So
thank
you
very
much
very
impressive
presentation.
Thank
you.
K
P
Long,
sorry
about
that
hi
good
morning,
Denise
Sanderson,
Economic,
Development
and
housing
on
behalf
of
the
city
manager's
office
today,
and
so
for
the
benefit
of
our
new
mayor
I'd
like
to
take
a
moment
to
briefly
remind
everyone
of
the
previous
action
items
that
relate
to
this.
On
August
4th
2022
Council
approved
approximately
22.5
million
dollars
received
from
American
Rescue
plan
act.
P
Local
fiscal
recovery
funds
be
allocated
to
fiscal
year,
22
general
fund
government
operations
as
revenue
recovery
funds
and
within
that
approval
action
was
the
transfer
of
funds
for
the
grant
programs
that
we'll
be
discussing
today.
Additional
action
was
taken
on
November
3rd
when
Council
authorized
staff
to
expend
funds
for
these
Grant
programs
within
the
framework
described
in
the
document
attached
in
your
packet
entitled
competitive
Grant
programs
background.
P
So
following
that
approval
staff
created
three
Grant
applications
within
our
neighborly
cloud-based
platform.
This
is
a
grant
management
system
that
we
utilize.
We
created
an
arpa
webpage
where
sample
applications
and
access
to
the
application
software
could
easily
be
accessed.
We
issued
a
call
for
applications
on
December
12th
in
the
solicitation
closed
on
February
15th
During,
the
nine-week
period,
public
Communications,
issued
press
releases
and
promoted
on
social
media
and
staff,
room
soliciting
departments,
held
application,
training
workshops
and
responded
to
numerous
calls
and
emails
to
provide
technical
support
at
the
close
of
the
application
period.
P
81
applications
were
received
requesting
more
than
9.7
million
dollars
in
Grants
by
the
end
of
March.
All
applications
had
been
reviewed
for
eligibility
and
scored,
based
on
a
number
of
factors,
including
consistency
with
funding
objectives,
the
apparent
ability
and
capacity
of
the
organization
to
deliver
the
described
program
in
a
timely
manner
since
encumbrance
and
expenditure
of
these
funds
are
at
the
end
of
2024
and
2026
respectively.
P
In
the
attachment
entitled
competitive
grant
program,
recommendations,
we've
summarized
the
recommendations
for
each
of
these
Grant
programs
and
for
the
benefit
of
those
tuning
in
I'll.
Briefly
describe
each
for
the
north
Greenwood
Community
Grant,
which
is
to
be
administered
by
the
CRA.
We
had
1.4
million
available
for
Grant
Awards
in
eight
categories.
Eligibility
included
the
following
projects
and
activities
must
be
consistent
with
goals
and
objectives
of
the
North
Korean
with
CRA
plan.
They
must
serve
North
Greenwood
residents.
P
This
represents
474
72
percent
of
funding
available
in
this
program,
staff
is
recommending
25
projects
for
funding,
Awards
of
which
10
are
to
be
fully
funded
and
15
are
partially
funded.
The
average
Grant
is
fifty
six
thousand
dollars
with
a
range
of
10
000
to
175
000.,
as
recommended.
These
Awards
will
fully
encumber
the
1.4
million
dollars
available.
So
I
can
pause
here
and
we
can
talk
about
this
grant
or
I
can
move
on
to
the
other
two
and
catch
the
questions
at
the
end
with
administering
departments
or
call.
P
Okay,
great
thank
you
for
the
cultural
Affairs
nonprofit
grant
program,
which
is
to
be
administered
by
the
cultural
Affairs
division
within
the
office
of
administration.
We
have
one
million
dollars
available
in
two
categories:
ongoing
program,
support
which
is
for
organizations
that
are
continuing
existing
programs
despite
despite
the
covid-19
pandemic,
or
wish
to
bring
a
program
back
to
pre-pandemic
levels.
P
Funding
is
for
conducting
creating
producing,
presenting,
staging
or
sponsoring
cultural
exhibits,
performance,
educational
programs
or
events.
The
other
category
under
which
applicants
could
apply
with
specific
cultural
projects
which
could
include
construction
projects,
one-time
events
or
art
installations
that
will
not
have
ongoing
supporting
costs
other
than
routine
maintenance
or
utility
costs.
In
total,
13
applications
were
submitted
requesting
more
than
1.7
million
dollars,
which
is
approximately
174
percent
of
funding.
Available
staff
is
recommending
Grant
awards
for
five
projects,
of
which
four
are
fully
funded
and
one
is
partially
funded.
P
The
average
Grant
award
is
just
over
one
hundred
and
fourteen
thousand
dollars
with
a
low
of
12
450
and
a
high
of
250
000.
as
recommended.
These
Awards
will
encumber
just
over
571
thousand
dollars,
leaving
nearly
429
thousand
dollars
available
for
a
second
round
of
funding
solicitations
for
the
education
grants
and
Partnerships,
which
is
to
be
administered
by
the
city
clerk's
Department.
We
had
750
000
available
for
activities
that
address
and
mitigate
learning
loss
through
evidence-based
programs.
P
Grants
can
be
used
to
implement
new
or
expand
existing
programs
with
allowable
activities
limited
to
after
school
and
Summer
Bridge
high
impact
tutoring
stem
enrichment
programs.
Excuse
me,
student
Readiness
for
successful
transition
from
pre,
preschool
to
elementary
elementary
to
middle
middle
to
high
and
high
school
to
Workforce
or
post-secondary
education.
P
11
applications
were
submitted
requesting
nearly
1.4
million
or
186
percent
of
funding
available
staff
is
recommending
five
projects
for
Grant
awards
at
150,
000,
each
and
as
recommended.
This
will
fully
uncover
the
funds
upon
approval,
Grant
recommendations.
The
administering
departments
will
negotiate
Grant
Awards,
including
reporting
requirements,
and
how
payments
of
Grants
to
the
awardees
will
be
made.
In
some
cases,
limited
prepayments
will
be
provided,
or
funds
may
be
put
in
escrow
or
with
a
Fiscal
Agent,
but
in
most
cases
funding
will
be
provided
on
a
reimbursement
basis.
P
F
P
F
D
F
D
B
B
Okay
and
if
we,
if
13
applications
were
submitted
and
we're
rewarding
five,
and
we
have
leftover
money,
one
thing
I
was
thinking
about.
Is
you
know
the
application
the
applicant
for
move
on
up?
Is
the
arts
for
life
out
in
in
North
Greenwood,
which
is
Arts
culture
Dance
all
that
stuff
and
they
had
a
grant
request
of
sixty
thousand
and
were
recommended
50.
I'm
wondering
did
some
of
these
applicants
apply
in
multi
for
multiple
types
of
Grants.
B
B
Okay
and
and
some
of
the-
and
this
is
more
towards
I-
guess
all
of
the
the
three
different
Grant
categories
out
of
the
applications
that
were
submitted
and
then
ones
that
were
awarded
is
it
is
it
that
people
didn't
fill
out
their
applications
properly
or
they're?
Not
what
were
some
of
the
problems
that
we
didn't,
that
we
have
400
and
some
thousand
left
over
with
13
applicants.
You
know
so.
D
For
this
specific
Grant,
I
I
have
very
detailed
reasons
why
each
one
of
which
I
could
provide
to
the
council,
but
I
would
say
the
the
broad
reasoning
would
be
either
they
failed
to
show
the
one
year
of
Arts
and
Cultural
programming
was
a
requirement
or
they
failed
to
show
a
lot
of
detail
of
how
they
were
going
to
spend
the
funds,
so
they
would
put
it
in,
like
the
other
category,
Without
Really
breaking
down.
How
do
we
plan
to
spend
the
funds?
Okay,
so.
B
When
you
talk
about
the
detail,
because
I
had
a
question
about
some
of
the
it's
more
of
the
North
Greenwood
Grant
funds,
some
of
the
The
Narrative
we
got,
some
of
them
were
very
long
and
some
of
them
were
like
two
or
three
sentences.
So
the
ones
that
when
we
get
this,
this
is
exactly
what
you
received
for
the
narrative
for
how
they're
going
to
use
that
Grant
fund.
B
B
B
D
D
B
Yeah
so
I
had
it
because
Denise
talked
about
North,
Greenwood
ones,
okay,
yeah,
so
I
had
a
question.
There
were
a
couple
of,
or
at
least
I
think
in
maybe
the
education
and
maybe
in
the
north
Greenwood,
where
a
recipient
or
a
recipient
received
more
than
was
requested,
and
they
just
wanted
to
know
what
was
the
thinking
there.
I
K
G
B
H
G
B
And
then
I
think
it's
I
think
senior
utility
assistants,
as
well
as
maybe
North
Greenwood,
home
owner
repair,
as
well
as
home,
Expo
and
Tool.
Library
are
those
all
Tampa,
Bay
housing,
Neighborhood,
Housing
service,
I
think
they
do
they
have
like
capacity.
Do
they
have
staff
to
handle
all
those
three
different
initiatives,
so
senior
utility
housing
is
Tampa,
Bay,
Neighborhood
Housing,
so
is
applicant.
Three,
the
north
Greenwood
homeowner,
repair
and
I
think
that
home
and
Tool
yep
those
three
of
them
are
all
Tampa
Bay
Neighborhood
Housing
Services.
B
H
G
G
That
60
is
based
upon
what
we
said.
We
would
find
like
what
I
gave
the
example
earlier
right.
For
instance,
there
was
an
organization
that
asked
for
I
think
maybe
85
we'd
have
given
them
30,
because
out
of
the
85k
and
asked
we
could
see
what
it
was
for,
and
there
were
certain
things
that
we
felt
they
should
already
have
or
that
they
were
already
operating.
We're
going
to
fund
that,
so
we
were
taking
the
things,
the
areas
where
we
felt
we
could
make
the
most
impact,
and
so
that's
where
it's
from.
H
G
B
B
G
But
you
know
I
if
there
is
specific
information
from
a
particular
project
that
you
need,
I
can
pull
the
whole
application
and
send
it
over.
We
did
get
requests
for
this
floor
in
the
notification.
If
someone
wasn't
awarded,
then
that
was
a
notification
and
I
said
you
could
also
request
the
score,
so
those
scores
will
be
going
out
the
week
of
the
24th
the
next
week
and
I've
had
about
I
guess
about
10
requests
from
scores,
not
just
from
people
who
were
denied,
but
from
people
who
did
get
awarded.
G
They
want
to
see
what
the
score
is.
I've
had
feedback
from
people
saying
what
can
I
do
to
strengthen
my
application,
the
next
time
and
also
just
so
that
the
council
is
aware,
if
someone
asked
maybe
for
a
renovation
grant,
it
wasn't
approved
for
the
fact
that
the
CRA
is
coming
on
board
and
we
have
a
renegration
grant
that's
offered,
just
as
we
have
downtown
and
we'll
also
be
having
specific
grants
that
are
targeted
to
the
north.
Greenwood
need
and
some
ask
that
I've
heard,
even
speaking
out
to
people
in
the
community.
E
Yeah
I
just
wanted
to
mention
that
Senior
Citizen
Services
through
the
Pinellas
Community
Foundation,
also
gives
grants
to
non-profits.
So
if
some
of
these
people
I've
noticed
on
on
in
these
non-profits
that
are
applying
for
our
grants,
they
could
also,
if
you
could
tell
them
that
that's
available
as
well.
So
it's
kind
of
the
same
Grant
process.
They
go
through
with
a
a
grading
thing,
but
it
has
to
do
with
senior
citizens,
though,
like
housing
or
any
kind
of
services.
G
B
B
P
Applications
did
not
limit
it
to
a
one-year
funding
stream,
so
we
really
are
going
on
how
they
submitted
their
application
and
what
they
propose.
Their
expenditure
timeline
looked
like,
so
we
were
silent
on
that
other
than
they
have
to
be
expended
by
a
certain
date
in
2026
with
final
reports,
but
it
really
was
up
to
the
applicant
to
detail
how
they
wished
to
fund
and
the
time
frame
in
which
they
expected
to
do
so
within
the
north
Greenwood
Community
Grant.
A
N
N
At
that
time
we
had
been
with
Bank
of
America
for
almost
40
years,
but
concerns
with
quality
of
services
caused
us
to
go
out
competitively
for
Bank
proposals.
Wells
Fargo
was
chosen
unanimous
unanimously
at
that
time
by
an
RFP
selection
committee
in
2016
Council
approved
a
three-year
agreement
with
two
options
of
two-year
renewals,
which
we
have
exercised.
N
N
B
Q
Good
morning,
Council
I'm
Alex
Leon
interim
system
director
for
the
gas
department.
This
item
is
a
requesting
approval
to
approve
the
dispers
order
for
equest
Energy
Services
for
installation
of
mains
and
services
within
our
system.
This
items
not
to
exceed
a
6.6
million
dollars.
One
thing
to
know
on
this
item
is
that
are
you'll
see
that
this
will
requested
a
lower
amount
that
was
in
the
original
big
process
under
the
original,
but
quote
this
is
for
two
reasons.
Q
Original
big
parties
were
essentially
too
high
at
the
beginning
and
also
the
as
the
construction.
The
cars
Associated
has
increased
over
the
years
from
the
last
three
years
that
we've
done
this.
This
required
that
we
essentially
re-evaluate
our
bid
amounts
to
lower
amounts
come
within
the
budget
that
we
have
proposed
for
this
year
this
upcoming
year.
Q
Q
Q
R
That's
why
you're
seeing
that
11
million
dollar
sum
total
on
the
bid
groups,
but
when
we
sharpened
our
pencils
and
looked
at
those
big
quantities
during
the
course
of
the
bid
submittals,
we
came
up
with
the
6.6
million
and
we
feel
like
that's
a
that's
a
good,
that's
a
good
number
and
they
did
actually.
You
know
everybody
was
aware
of
that.
It
was
transparent
and
the
the
bid
subtotals
didn't
change
as
a
result
of
that
equix
was
always
the
lowest
better
of
all.
Some
total
items.
R
H
R
Q
So
this
item
is
essentially
an
iron
firm
with
the
Pinellas
County.
It
allows
us
to
do
work,
repairs,
maintenance
within
the
county
within
the
utility
right
away,
without
having
to
do
a
permit
for
every
job
that
we
do.
It's
a
general
agreement
that
covers
construction
standards,
installation
standards
and
they
expedites
the
process.
A
S
Good
morning,
mayor
good
morning,
welcome
back
to
the
diocese.
Thank
you,
council
members.
The
item
I
have
before
you
today
amends
the
recreation
open
space
element
of
the
comprehensive
City
comprehensive
plan,
because
it's
going
to
provide,
hopefully
for
new
parks
and
recreation
facility
impact
fee
system.
The
amendment
is
necessary
to
ensure
the
consistency
between
the
comp
plan
and
the
proposed
text
Amendment,
which
will
replace
the
entire
chapter
54
of
the
Community
Development
code.
S
Kendall
Oliver,
now
finish
of
Tampa
Florida,
was
retained
to
repair
technical
report
based
on
the
current
data
that
we
have
now
in
the
city,
and
we
have
based
the
new
ordinance
on
that
for
the
impact
fees.
The
specific
amendments
needed
in
the
comp
plan
are
the
following:
they're,
just
three
one
was
to
allow
for
funds
collected
under
chapter
54
to
be
used
anywhere
in
the
city
rather
than
being
restrictive.
Number
two:
it
removed
the
language
regarding
the
application
of
a
service
radius
to
be
used
for
the
expenditure
of
funds
and
the
third
one.
S
We
added
language
to
incentivize
private
development
to
provide
affordable
housing
dwelling
units.
The
planning
department,
Development
Department,
supports
this
amendment,
as
well
as
the
Community
Development
board
reviewed
the
proposal
of
these
amendments
and
at
their
meeting
of
March
21st.
They
unanimously
recommended
approval
of
this
amendment
I'm
available
to
answer
any
questions
you
might
have
questions
or.
B
I
would
apprec
I
appreciate
the
I'm
trying
to
find
my
notes,
art
and
I
can't
find
I
think
they
were
on,
because
you
guys
were
on
a
previous
agenda.
Didn't
we
have
it
didn't
we
have
it
tabled
or
something
or
but
anyway,
I
appreciate
the
reduction
in
fees
or
elimination
of
fees
right
for,
although
it's
reduction
for
affordable
housing.
S
S
This
one
will
be
a
little
bit
longer
because
we're
going
to
explain
the
the
actual
ordinance
that
is
changes.
The
text
stated
before
ordinance.
936
3923
replaces
the
entire
chapter
54
impact
fee
ordinance;
in
other
words,
the
old,
is
totally
gone.
The
primary
reason
for
this
ordinance
change
is
because,
as
I
said
before,
it
hasn't
been
updated,
since,
if
you
can
figure
that
out
that's
a
long
time,
that's
because
I
was
there
when
we
actually
made
this
okay,
so
I
know
it's
been
a
long
time.
S
Secondly,
the
Florida
impact
fee
act
requires
that
the
impact
fee
be
based
on
current
data
and
obviously
we've
gone
through
this
time,
and
we
wanted
to
do
that
so
Parks
and
Recreation
Department
recommends
establishing
a
new
fee.
We
went
and
hired,
as
I
said,
stated
before
the
firm
of
Tyndall
Oliver
out
of
now
finish
out
of
Tampa
Florida,
and
they
prepared
for
us
a
technical
report
that
the
new
impact
fee
system
is
based
on.
S
It
should
be
stated
that
the
current
chapter
54
has
served
the
city
and
the
citizens
of
Clearwater
Well
over
the
past
40
years.
This
ordinance
has
collected
17.5
million
dollars.
14.6
for
land
purchases
and
parts
and
2.9
for
facilities
there's
currently
a
balance
of
four
I.
Probably
shouldn't
tell
you
this,
but
currently
about
the
four
million
dollars
to
purchase
additional
Park
land
and
also
350
000
for
facilities
just
just
to
share
with
you
some
of
the
parks
that
were
purchased
by
using
this
land.
S
However,
it's
time
for
a
change
from
this
rapid
new
development
Back
40
years
ago
there
was
Believe,
It
or
Not
vacant
land
all
over
Clearwater,
and
there
was
tremendous
development
and
we
were
able
to
tap
into
that
and
purchase
land
at
that
time.
Now,
as
you
know,
we're
at
rapid
Redevelopment
in
the
city
of
Florida
without
having
that
land,
so
I
think
it
best
to
understand
this
new
impact.
S
C
system
I
know
that
you've
been
given
that
in
your
in
your
agenda
here,
but
I
would
like
to
just
go
over
some
of
the
differences
and
I
know
that
we
went
over
this
with
some
of
the
council
members
several
months
ago.
If
you
will
recall,
but
I'd
like
to
go
over
briefly
with
you
right
now.
First
there's
the
difference
between
the
current
and
what
we're
proposing.
Currently,
there
are
three
fees
that
are
charged
to
a
developer
could
be
charged.
S
There's
a
recreation
facility
fee,
there's
a
recreation
facility,
land
fee
and
there's
an
open
space
fee
under
the
new
ordinance
there'll
be
one
fee.
The
second
difference,
currently
residential
development,
overnight
accommodations
of
eight
dwelling
units
or
more
and
non-residential
developments
of
one
acre
or
more
have
to
pay
four
percent
of
their
land
value
and
an
impact
fee.
S
That's
a
lot
and
to
administer
that
is
even
worse.
Okay,
so
that's
a
mouthful
I've
been
set,
but
basically
all
of
that
will
go
away
with
a
proposed.
All
three
fees
will
go
away
with
one
fee.
It's
called
the
residential
based
on
residential
dwelling
units
in
the
city,
as
according
to
I'll.
Show
you
here
in
attachment
a
this
is
what
we're
replacing
it
with.
S
S
All
that
I
shared
with
you
before
now
is
replaced
with
this.
In
other
words,
a
developer
will
come
in
or
wants
to
develop
something
they'll
say:
hey.
What's
the
impact
fee,
we'll
say
fine,
you
go
up
to
the
planning,
permitting
Department,
not
to
Parks
and
Recreation,
and
just
ask
them
and
they'll
be
able
to
look
in
the
little
book
and
they'll
say
if
it's
a
single
family
detached
it's
three
thousand
twenty
one
dollars,
that's
it.
S
They
know
that
all
the
same
way
multi-family
right
now,
if
a
developer
comes
in,
to
have
to
to
deal
with
that
it
is
a
complex,
complicated
formula
and
any
developer
that
might
be
here
or
would
tell
you
the
same
because
sometimes
those
change.
So
that
is
what
we
hope
to
be
moving
toward
now.
You
will
notice
that
in
this
new
ordinance
it
is
based
on
residential
development.
We
have
removed
commercial
development
from
the
impact
fee
and
we've
also
removed
overnight
accommodations.
So
it's
based
simply
on
the
residential
component.
S
The
next
change
or
difference
is
the
current
fees.
Collected
must
be
spent,
and
this
is
what
we
talked
about
within
one
mile
for
a
neighborhood
park.
Two
miles
for
community
park
anywhere
in
the
city
for
natural
resource-based
park
or
a
city-wide
Park
under
the
new
ordinance
it
may
be
spent
anywhere
within
the
city
of
Clearwater,
for
land
and
or
for
facilities.
S
The
next
difference
currently
affordable
dwelling
units
are
charged
at
the
same
rate
and
under
this
ordinance
there
is
an
exemption
to
that,
as
well
as
there's
a
50
percent
reduction
of
multi-family,
affordable
housing
units.
You
can
see
that
on
the
chart
there
affordable,
multi-family,
it's
50
or
one
thousand
twelve
dollars.
S
A
F
S
That
again,
would
be
your
decision
to
make
okay
number
next,
the
difference
is
the
current
impact
fee
system
provides
staff
to
estimate
the
fees.
However,
I
shared
with
you
before
it's
very
complex
right
now
they
can
just
go
and
find
the
fee
and
be
on
their
way.
Currently,
the
payment
of
impact
fees
is
no
later
than
the
date
of
vertical
building
permit
is
issued
under
the
new
ordinance.
It's
simply
based
on
the
certificate
of
occupancy
it
just
to
be
a
condition
of
the
certificate
certificate
of
occupancy,
which
gives
some
of
these
projects.
S
The
the
let's
see
I've,
got
notes
here,
I'm,
sorry,
the
one
thing
that
they
all
that
we
all
like
in
the
current
ordinance
and
the
proposed
ordinance
is
that
we
provide
exemptions
and
credits.
We
provide
them
for
alterations,
expansions
of
dwelling
units
accessory
buildings
or
structures,
dwelling
units
replacement,
are
destroyed,
dwelling
units,
annexations
of
seven
dwelling
units
or
less
single-family,
affordable
housing
dwelling
units
and
any
dwelling
unit
that
was
previously
constructed
on
the
property.
On
a
one-for-one
basis,
for,
for
example,
you
have
a
home,
that's
on
your
property,
it
it
got
removed.
S
You
want
to
build
a
new
bigger
home,
then,
basically,
your
grandfathered
in
as
a
credit
for
that
there's
no
no
fee
and
then
there's
a
discount
of
50
for
multi-family
dwelling
units,
the
Tyndall
Oliver
technical
report
compared
us
with
15
other
municipalities
and
counties
and
the
fees
that
we're
recommending
today,
and
also
the
policies
basically
under
appendix
a
rank
toward
the
middle
of
what
other.
All
these
other
cities
and
counties
are
charging
now
we're
seventh
for
single
family
homes,
10
for
multi-family
homes,
ninth
for
mobile
homes.
S
Another
important
issue
to
be
addressed
in
this
ordinance
is
to
allow
developers
that
have
currently
started
the
plan
through
our
Penny
Department,
to
have
the
option
to
either
fall
underneath
the
existing
ordinance
or
the
new
ordinance,
whichever
one
benefits
them
the
best.
This
is
in
line
with
what
we
do
when
people
come
for,
building
permits
and
all
of
a
sudden
they
chain,
they
are
changing
the
the
standards
all
the
time
Plumbing
electrical.
They
allow
them
to
start
with
that
standard
and
complete
that's
what
we
have
done
with
this
ordinance
as
well.
S
H
S
E
S
E
E
B
S
B
Yeah
I
know
it's
not
your,
you
know,
but
but
part
of
the
110
yeah
I
think
you've
answered
my
question
at
the
last
part,
I'm
struggling
just
a
little
bit
because
I'm
taking
hand
notes
instead
of
these
things
today,
but
so
I
think
it's
Archway
is
the
name
of
the
affordable
housing.
Builder.
That's
going
to
be
built
that
plans
to
build
some
affordable
units,
a
development
by
our
community
garden.
S
S
H
S
B
B
Like
if
a
homeowner
wants
to
build
an
Adu
in
the
north,
Greenwood
Community
correct,
and
they
have,
we
have
a
couple
of
streets
or
whatever
that
we
zone
or
allow
that
for
as
a
kind
of
a
pilot
trial.
With
that
a
do,
you
have
to
pay
some
kind
of
a
yes
impact
fee?
Okay,
yes,
they
would,
even,
though
it's
an
affordable,
it
would
be
affordable
and.
S
B
And
then
all
right,
so
you're
saying
that
businesses
and
hotels
in
this
new
ordinance
will
not
have
to
pay
any
parks
and
rec
fees,
there's
commercial,
so
the
hotels
that
we
have
the
hotel
that
we
have
on
the
bluff
or
hotels
that
we
want
to
come
more
to
downtown
to
activate
it
and
they
walk
down
to
our
imagine
Clearwater
Park
they're,
not
paying
Park
impact
fees.
That
is
correct.
B
H
H
S
A
hotel
right,
hotel,
motel
that
could
be
charged
when
we
were
developing
this
ordinance.
We
talked
with
many
of
you.
We
also
talk
with
a
current
administration
at
that
time,
and
the
decision
was
to
not
move
forward
with
that
a
particular
element
it
could
be
put
into
the
ordinance.
Certainly
if
you
want
to
continue
to
to
charge
hotels
and
resorts
the
fee
basically
right
now
it
it
has
been
excluded.
B
B
And
then
I
did
find
that
note,
I
just
think
to
council
member
to
shada's
comment.
You
know
we
can.
We
can
use
CRA
funds
to
offset
the
change
for
fees
of
affordable
housing
in
the
in
the
CRA,
maybe,
but
the
other
question
I
had
is
will
when
we
talk
about
developments
within
and
outside
the
CRA.
This
will
immediately
apply
to
the
north
Greenwood
CRA,
not
just
the
downtown
CRA.
That.
S
Okay,
thank
you,
okay
and
I.
Just
so,
you
know
the
motel
host
of
the
there
of
the
15
that
we
looked
at
other
cities
and
counties.
There
were
only
six
of
them,
I
think
six
of
them
that
had
a
a
fee
for
hotels,
okay,
okay,
and
if
we
would
have
adopted
that
we
would
have
been
probably
the
I
think
we
ranked
third
or
fourth.
B
S
S
And
a
part
of
our
reasoning,
I
think,
was-
or
at
least
the
region
of
administration
that
did
not
want
to
do.
That
is
because
we
looked
at
the
people
that
come
to
the
beach.
You
know
as
tourists,
and
we
do
this.
An
economic
driver
it'd
be
an
economic
driver
here
as
well
in
the
downtown
area,
as
it
continues
to
grow
and
build.
H
S
A
Thank
you,
okay,
anything
else,
educator
all
right.
Thank
you,
I
think
I
would
like
to
for
Thursday
what
council
member
Beckham
was
saying.
What
would
be
the
economic
impact
if
we
charged,
and
would
that
be
a
major
disincentive
for
anyone
who
wants
to
bring
a
hotel
into
downtown
Clearwater,
which
obviously
I
think
we're
trying
to
incentivize
so
I'd
just
like
to
hear
that
just
so,
we
have,
you,
know,
sort
of
a.
We
know,
balance.
A
We're
working
in
the
future
just
what
what
would
be
whether
Economic
Development
people,
with
with
the
disincentive
for
people
who
are
looking
because
they're
all
looking
for
incentives,
especially
to
come
into
downtown,
so
I
would
just
like
to
have
that
information.
If
it's,
if
it's
necessary,
that's
all!
Okay!
Thank
you.
Thank
you
appreciate
it
all
right.
Please
point
one.
T
T
This
takes
two
crisis
response,
Specialists
and
pairs
them
with
two
police
officers,
and
they
respond
to
calls
that
have
a
underlying
condition
of
mental
health.
The
agreement
for
this
pilot
included
us
reimbursing
the
cost
true
cost
to
the
Sheriff's
Department
for
the
two
crisis
response
specialists
in
January
2021.
That
cost
was
71
600
for
a
total
of
143
200
hours.
It
did
allow
in
that
particular
agreement
the
ability
for
that
cost
to
escalate,
but
the
agreement
that
we
constructed
just
isn't
consistent
with
other
previous
Financial
agreements.
T
So
working
with
with
Finance,
we've
constructed
really
a
modified
disagreement
so
that
it's
not
a
longer
pirate
program,
but
a
program
that
will
be
in
place.
It'll
have
a
five-year
term
consistent
with
most
of
our
other
contracts.
It
does
have
a
the
ability
for
the
agreement
to
be
terminated
within
15
days,
if
so
desired.
The
price
has,
of
course,
gone
up
just
with
the
regular
increases
in
salary,
but
not
significantly.
T
The
current
price
now
is
73
850
per
specialist
to
for
a
total
of
147
700,
this
one's
written
so
that
it
does
not
exceed
200
000
per
year.
So
we
can
just
leave
room
for
that
increase
and
and
I'll
be
more
happy
to
answer
your
question.
It's
been
a
very
successful
program
from
the
perspective
of
myself
and
from
the
officers
and
from
the
even
I
believe
the
reports
that
we
provided.
You
showed
a
little
bit
of
the
value
it's
providing.
T
We
were
fortunate
that
you
know
we've
seen
like
a
15
decrease
from
the
first
year
when
we
started
it
in
2021.
We
kind
of
think
that
we
had
kind
of
attack
some
of
the
low-hanging
fruit,
but
in
2021
they
handled
3200
calls
as
a
department.
We
handled
that
many,
the
clinician
or
the
the
mental
health
units,
the
two
units
handled
1160.
T
in
2022.
That
number
went
down
to
719
of
the
27
46
that
we've
handled,
but
there's
multiple
components
to
this
Beyond.
Just
the
two
crisis
response
Specialists
the
officers
as
they
come
across
mental
health
related
calls.
They
indicate
in
their
police
report
that
it's
meant
to
help
related
and
then
there's
a
back
end.
That
actually
does
follow-up
calls.
So,
even
if
they're
not
here,
we're
still
able
to
kind
of
capture
those
incidences
and
try
to
connect
people
to
services
and
I
think
we're
being
pretty
successful
in
it.

This
item
is
for
a
easement
vacation.
It
is
at

Ivan
way,
Dolphin
Harbor.
It
is
a
10
foot
plated
public
utility
easement
that
runs
dead
center
through
the
property
at
the
time
it
was
planted.
That
was
the
way
they
did
it.
Since
then,
the
property
has
been
redesigned

them
to
us
to
vacate
the

which
is
the

will
then
be

so
they're
asking
for

taking

This
is
a
very
good
thing
for
us:
it

our
water
and
the

Without
a
mayor
and
Council
Javon
Graham
the
vision
chief
of
Emergency
Management,
the
importance
of
this
item
is
because
anytime
there's
a
declaration
of
emergency
or
a
declared
event
where
there's
damage
or
financial
impact.
We
must
get
into
this
agreement
from
the
state
in
order
to
receive
those
inverse
reimbursements.
Now
for
us,
even.
H
V
We
didn't
get
a
direct
impact
with
Ian.
We
did
have
a
considerable
Financial
impact
due
to
some
damage
to
some
of
our
facilities,
damage
to
our
marine
wave
attenuators,
and
also
our
Force
account
labor,
which
would
account
to
like
over
1.3
million,
so
in
total,
is
close
to
five
million
dollars.
We're
trying
to
to
recover
so
by
allowing
the
city
manager
entered
this
contract
and
myself
as
a
representative,
we
can
continue
doing
the
data
collection
and
work
on
getting
reimbursed
for
the
expenses
that
we
we
put
out,
and
so
with
that.
B
V
No,
it's
not
volunteer
what
it
is.
They
send
a
request
out
through
the
state
typically,
and
through
that
request,
we
have
to
track
on
a
totally
different
type
of
documentation
to
get
that
money
back
for
so
for
some
of
them
like
Parks
and
Rec
they've
already
been
reimbursed,
because
we
send
the
charts
of
tools,
equipment,
use,
Personnel,
hourly
rates,
and
everything
like
that.
So
that
is
totally
different
than
this.
This
is
strictly
dealing
with
our
operations
that
we
dealt
with
during
Ian.
For
that
not
the
deployments
at
all.
C
Good
morning,
Lauren
Matzke,
Planning
and
Development.
So
this
item
is
the
one
that
was
previously
discussed
during
the
CRA
trustees
and
it's
the
first
step
required
to
establish
a
streamlined
approach
to
allocation
of
the
development
Potential
from
the
public
amenities
pool.
One
thing
I
didn't
mention
this
morning
was
since
this
is
an
amendment
to
the
downtown
plan.
That
plan
serves
a
couple
of
functions.
It's
a
special
area
plan
which
was
previously
approved
by
the
Pinellas
planning
Council,
which
is
now
forward.
C
Pinellas,
their
staff
or
pinellas's
staff
has
determined
that
it's
consistent
with
the
county-wide
rules
and
no
other
action
will
be
required
on
their
part.
However,
it's
also
our
CRA
plan.
So
after
council's
consideration
assumed
approval,
it
will
be
transmitted
to
Pinellas
County
staff
for
review
and
will
need
to
be
approved
by
the
board
of
County
Commissioners.
F
F
My
question
is:
why
are
we
doing
the
polling
which
I
think,
as
you
do
say,
streamlining
but
I,
don't
think
it's
as
streamlined
as
a
zoning
change.
Zoning
change
is
clearly
identifiable
to
developers
and
it
eliminates
processes
of
applying
for
something
and
I
think
this
could
be
more
attractive
to
developers.
If,
if
increased
density
is
our
goal,
I
believe
that
adopting
the
Ford
Pinellas
recommendations
would
be
a
better
tool.
Your
thoughts.
C
C
This
was
an
approach
that,
especially
a
couple
of
years
ago,
was
determined
because
I
guess
I
should
step
back
at
the
time
and
I
think
it
was
noted
in
in
the
memo.
If
I
recall,
when
we
first
met
before
Pinellas,
they
were
not
necessarily
support.
Supportive
of
increasing
the
development
potential
in
downtown
across
the
board.
F
So
I
also
met
with
Ford
panels,
because
I
had
so
many
questions
about
this
and
I
was
actually
encouraged
by
what
what
Mr
Blanton
said.
He
was
supportive.
He
feels
that
a
lot
of
the
changes
that
we
made
to
our
Transit
and
our
travel
and
our
and
all
especially
with
either
mobile
center
and
all
that
so
I'm
I'm
hopeful
that
that
conversation
can
continue,
because
I
do
think
that
this
county-wide
approach
is,
is
more
efficient
client
base
in
terms
of
development
and
more
clear
versus
this
pool
system.
F
C
Ma'am-
and
we
heard
a
lot
of
that
feedback
regarding
it
not
necessarily
being
wide
widely
known
about
the
pool
anymore,
I
mean
that
those
who
were
involved
I,
think
early
on
when
it
was
originally
established,
has
certainly
availed
themselves
of
the
pool.
But,
as
you
can
tell
from
the
reports,
we
have
a
lot
of
development
potential
still
available.
C
I.
Think
having
it
at
a
staff
level
is
certain
approvals
at
a
staff
level
takes
the
negotiation
out
of
it
and
again
I'm
trying
not
to
get
totally
ahead
of
myself,
but
additionally,
we've
been
talking
with
the
CRA
and
and
looking
into
ways
to
further
publicize
the
availability
of
it
noticing
to
your
point
that
it's
not
necessarily
easy
to
find
on
our
web
page
or
any
information
like
that.
C
I
think
also,
as
as
we've
worked
more
with
development
Partners,
as
things
have
picked
up
in
downtown
I,
think
the
code
changes
have
made
that
that
are
as
well
like
we're
able
to
also
Point
people
in
the
direction
of
the
downtown
amenities
pool.
One
thing
is
the
the
amenities
pool
then
allows
for
you
know
that
that
conversation
between
staff
and
the
development
in
particular
and
on
a
case-by-case
basis,
because
you
really
need
to
look
at-
is
it
it.
C
Is
it
appropriate
to
have
the
you
know
the
development
potential
across
an
entire
District
or
not,
and
that
would
be
why
it's
such
a
project
would
take
a
little
bit
longer,
because
you
would
need
to
open
up
the
downtown
plan
again
and
go
through
changes
to
the
Community
Development
code.
The
downtown
district
potential
changes
to
the
form
base
code,
Etc,
not
saying
that
it's
not
doable,
it's
just
not
immediate,
and
so
this
is
one
thing
that
upon
approval
would
be
readily
available,
because
all
of
this
development
potential
is
there.
C
Additionally,
the
the
approval
of
the
most
recent
Community
Development
code
amendment
that
councils
approve
that
enables
the
stacking
of
density
and
intensity
for
vertical
mixed
use
in
downtown
when
we
were
looking
through.
All
of
this
I
think
several
of
the
projects
that
have
been
approved
in
the
past
and
needed
to
utilize
them
in
a
development
Potential
from
the
pool
would
not
have
needed
to
use
that.
So
that's
one
other
thing,
another
tool
that
we
now
offer
our
community
in
downtown
that
I
think
will
be
very
beneficial
to
them
again,
it's
available
now.
F
E
So
just
a
comment
on
that
so
I'm,
the
representative,
unfortunately
awesome
and
I've-
talked
to
Whitt
about
this
as
well,
because
I
wanted
to
see
when
the
county
changed.
I
wanted
to
see
us
also
get
involved
with
higher
density
for
our
downtown
for
development,
and
the
thing
that
was
holding
us
back,
as
you
said,
was
the
transportation
part
of
it.
But
one
of
the
big
things
I
wasn't
mentioned
is
well.
E
You
mentioned
the
inner
Marvel
Center
and
some
of
the
the
things
we're
doing,
but
the
waterborne
transportation
also
is
a
big
factor
for
Ford
panels
to
approve
a
higher
density.
So
we
need
to
think
of
that
when
that
comes
up
again
for
us
to
talk
about,
we
need
to
be
talking
about
that,
because
Clearwater
Dunedin
were
really
the
ones
that
were
going
to
start
that
whole
thing
off
so
I
understand.
This
is
kind
of
an
intermediate
thing
that
we
can
do
to
just
make
sure
developers
can
understand
if
we
don't
have
that
density.
C
So
this
is
the
more
in-depth
ordinance
and
this
would
implement
the
changes
made
to
their
downtown
Redevelopment
plan
by
establishing
the
process
for
the
Community
Development
coordinator
or
planning
and
development
director
to
allocate
those
units
within
the
downtown
district
I
mentioned
earlier.
This
morning,
we
worked
in
conjunction
with
the
CRA
and
economic
development
and
housing
staff
to
provide
this
streamlined
option
to
receive
allocations
from
the
pool
we
also
wanted
to.
C
As
this
is
the
original
purpose
of
the
pool
to
incentivize
amenities
that
help
meet
our
Redevelopment
goals
and
needs
in
downtown
additionally
generating
activity
for
people
who
to
live
work
and
play
in
downtown.
As
noted
in
this
anthroport,
the
proposal
to
create
the
two-tier
approach
was
originally
presented
to
council
a
couple
of
years
ago,
certain
bonuses
are
identified
within
the
code
which
the
Community
Development
coordinator
will
be
authorized
to
approve
those
are
established
through
a
new
table.
C
One
called
for
a
tier,
1,
streamlined
allocation
approach
and
then
again,
it's
important
to
note
that
any
project
that
may
not
need
to
utilize
or
may
want
to
propose
something
different
than
what's
listed
in
that
table
could
continue
to
use
the
the
the
units
or
request
the
units
through
approval
by
the
Community
Development
board.
That's
what
every
project
has
to
go
through
now,
so
it's
certainly
our
goal
to
to
provide
a
variety
of
options
that
could
be
approved
by
staff
and
and
provide
that
structure.
C
It's
of
that
much
to
show
on
screen,
but
I'll
put
it
down
there
just
in
case
and
I
can
move
the
pages
as
needed,
but
the
First
Column
shows
the
the
requirement
so
for
anyone
who
wants
to
pull
it
up.
That
shows
the
requirement
also
just
what
the
bone,
what
the
public
amenity
or
public
benefit
would
be
in
exchange
for
this
additional
development
potential.
C
Next
then,
we
have
the
type
of
bonus
and
applicants
May
request,
either
additional
dwelling
units,
Hotel
units
or
floor
area
currently
through
as
allowed
currently
through
the
poll
that
continues
over
and
then
the
location
in
which
the
Bernice
is
available
and
that's
divided
up
by
character.
District.
C
When
we
first
talked
to
a
city
council,
the
focus
is
primarily
on
the
downtown
core,
but
in
working
through
a
staff
we
thought
there
would
be
excellent
opportunities
to
to
establish
certain
certain
bonuses
for
the
other
character
districts
as
well,
because
you
know
it's
it's
all
part
of
downtown,
so
these
were
kind
of
worked
out
for
that.
So
there's
bonuses
proposed,
as
I
mentioned,
to
bring
people
to
downtown
that
would
be
to
incorporate
the
residential
rental
units,
which
has
a
proposed
40
percent
density,
bonus
across
all
of
the
districts,
also
just
providing
residential.
C
Overall
again,
that's
always
been
in
the
public
amenities
incentive
poll.
It's
important
to
us.
We've
been
getting
some
new
projects,
but
this
would
allow
for
other
options.
It
would
not
include
short-term
rentals,
though,
and
I
guess
I
should
note.
Also,
this
would
this
and
the
other,
the
residential
rental
would
apply
to
either
market
rate
or
affordable
housing
units
for
residential
units,
because
that
could
be
owner
occupied.
That
is
a
20
density
bonus
intentionally
lower
because
the
rental
ideally
provides.
C
So
there's
also
bonuses
to
incentivize,
incorporation
of
other
sustainability
needs
so
achieving
a
lead,
bold
certification
or
the
equivalent
of
the
proposed
bonuses,
a
35
residential
density
bump
or
20
20,
Hotel
density
or
20,
far
in
all
the
character
districts
and
then
including
both
EV,
ready
or
electric
vehicle
ready
charging
and
leveled.
So
the
the
spaces
for
future
charging
installation
and
then
also
a
certain
number
of
level.
C
Two
charging
spaces
is
proposed
for
bonus
and
that
would
be
15
residential
density,
10,
hotel
and
10
far
also
available
in
all
character,
distance
and
then
last
but
not
least,
again
one
of
the
original
intents
of
the
public
amenities
incentive
poll
was
to
help
meet
the
city's
capital
and
proof
it
needs.
So
the
downtown
plan
identifies
parking
as
infrastructure.
C
But
we
looked
at
both
options
and
and
thought
this
was
the
cleanest
way.
Also,
staff
included
those
tables
illustrating
what
additional
density
and
intensity
means
from
a
per
unit
across
all
of
those
I
know.
It
was
a
little
bit
more
detailed
staff
report
than
is
usually
necessary,
but
this
was
a
pretty
technical
Amendment
and
then
a
hypothetical
project
was
provided
to
to
Really
to
try
to
illustrate
the
wide
variety
of
options
that
would
be
available
to
projects
included
through
this
bonus
structure.
C
So
so
a
project
would
have
the
ability
to
provide
multiple
public
amenities,
which
is
sometimes
the
case,
what
they're
proposing
and
to
stack
those
densities
and
intensity.
So
I
looked
at
it
as
they
can
kind
of
mix
and
match
to
reach
the
number
that
they
want.
So
they
may
go
for
a
rental
project,
but
then
also
provide
easy
charging
and
and
hit
a
higher
number.
C
The
pool
is
also
a
way
that
a
project
can
request
additional
height,
which
is
to
be
expected
if
you're,
adding
additional
density
and
intensity.
There's
no
change,
though,
proposed
to
what
that
is
currently
set
to
be
in
the
downtown
plan
or
in
the
code,
so
that
is
a
request
could
be
up
to
20
percent
additional
height
or
a
minimum
of
10,
because
sometimes
that
would
be
less
than
10
percent
so
to
make
it
meaningful,
like
a
full
floor
of
height.
C
There's
a
few
other
amendments
tucked
in
I
suppose,
but
I
want
to
go
ahead
and
point
those
out,
because
they're
not
intended
to
be
secretive
one
is
to
rename
one
of
the
sections
and
clarify
that
additional
step
backs
and
transitions.
The
applicability
of
those
into
also
just
incorporate
additional
language
for
clarity
that
similar
to
the
Past
amendment
that
you
reviewed.
C
Sometimes
there
may
need
to
be
greater
setbacks
in
order
to
accomplish
the
streetscape
proposed
or
or
set
forth
in
the
master
straight
skate
plan.
So
this
would
accommodate
those,
so
this
ordinance
will
be
presented
to
the
Community
Development
board
at
their
meeting
tomorrow
and
I'll
report
back
their
recommendations
on
Thursday
night
and
more
questions
on
the
tour.
B
Hi
Lauren
I
have
so
I
have
two
particular
questions
that
maybe
you
could
ask
the
cdb,
so
I
sit
on
the
Clearwater,
Arts
Alliance
board
and
they've
been
talking
about
and
may
you
know
bring
forward
a
public
art
fee
ordinance
fee
for
development.
Did
you
guys
talk
about
that
or
have
any
feelings
about
that?
I
see,
you've
got
an
incentive,
but
a
requirement,
and
apparently
we
used
to
have
a
requirement.
B
B
W
Yeah
the
issue
there
is
that
there
is
some
case
law
that
came
out
in
2013
from
the
Florida
Supreme
Court
dealing
with
a
concept
called
exactions.
The
concept
is
that
government
cannot
hold
people's
property
hostage
and
force
them
to
invest
in
unrelated
matters
in
order
to
as
a
condition
of
developing
their
property.
So,
for
example,
we
can't
tell
someone
that
they
must
pay
a
public
Arts
fee,
for
example,
as
a
condition
of
building
an
apartment.
W
Complex
I
mean
the
courts
have
said
that
there's
no
rational
Nexus
between
demanding
public
art
versus
someone
wanting
to
develop
their
own
property
into
a
into
a
apartment
complex.
What
we
can
do
are
are
other
things
we
can
offer.
Sometimes
voluntary
incentives
or
we
can
do
offsets
on
the
city
Side
voluntarily,
but
for
the
most
part
we
cannot
compel
or
Force
the
private
sector
to
pay
for
public
art
unless
there's
really
a
relatively
close
Nexus
between
what
they're
doing
and
some
impact
on
public
art.
W
That
is
correct
and-
and
that's
actually
a
really
good
example,
because
in
that
context,
there's
a
close
enough
Nexus,
you
know
if
we
have
a
hotel
that
goes
up.
For
example,
there
is
an
impact
right,
I
mean
there's
a
direct
impact
on
the
amount
of
land
that's
available
for
open
space,
there's
also
a
direct
impact
on
demand
for
City
Services.
By
contrast,
you
know,
if
someone's
developing
their
property
into
an
apartment
complex,
you
know.
How
is
that
negatively
impacting
public
art
around
the
city?
B
Okay,
we
couldn't
make
the
argument
that
people
in
hotels
and
apartment
complexes,
value
public
art
and
come
to
us
and
want
public
art
and
public
amenities,
and
so
therefore,
it
makes
sense
to
tack
on
a
little
fee
for
the
public
art
that
they're
going
to
live
here
and
work
and
move
around
in
our
communities.
Those.
H
B
C
C
Also
there
was
a
workshop
recently
that
talked
through
kind
of
expectations
for
multi-family
and
and
what
generally
is
the
trend
to
provide-
and
this
is
this
Falls
in
line
with
that,
but
as
like
I
said
a
little
bit
higher
than
what
most
municipalities
are
utilizing
when
they
require
it
across
the
board,
but
it's
structured.
Similarly,
it's
actually
started
out.
It
was
being
based
off
of
what
would
be
required
for
a
lead
certification,
except
for
that
lead
only
requires
one
or
the
other.
C
You
can
either
provide
a
certain
amount
of
EV
ready
or
you
can
provide
the
Chargers
automatically
and
Melody
and
I
were
in
alignment
there
and
recommend
both
but
similar
to
those
cities
that
do
require
it.
There's
a
recommendation
to
have
more
EV
ready
and
charging
for
residential
uses
versus
other
non-residential
uses.
O
Yeah,
clinically
Planning
and
Development
I
was
just
going
to
say
throughout
these
conversations
we
talked
about
our
next
big
code
and
then
what
is
going
to
address
that
so
that
this
was
actually
higher
than
what
would
be
a
regular
code
requirement
when
we
bring
that
forward.
But
that
is
on
our
work
program
or
the
code
amendments
to
do
charging.
J
In
planning
and
development,
so
this
case
involves
a
approximate
0.125
acre
portioned
over
1.135
acre
property.
That's
located
on
the
south
side
of
Gulf
to
Bay
Boulevard,
approximately
540
feet
east
of
Keene
Road.
The
amendment
Earth
is
the
southern
35
feet
more
or
less
of
the
subject
property.
The
applicant
is
requesting
to
amend
the
future
land
use
map
category
of
the
amendmentary
from
residential
Urban
to
commercial
General,
and
the
applicant
has
also
submitted
a
zoning
Atlas
Amendment,
which
is
being
processed
concurrently
with
this
case
in
case
Rez
2022-11007.
J
K
J
K
J
So
this
is
the
companion
joining
at
some
Emma
case
to
case
LEP
2023-01001,
so
it
proposes
to
amend
that
same
Amendment
area,
the
735
feet
more
or
less
from
a
low
medium
density,
residential
district
to
the
commercial
District.
Again,
this
proposed
amendment
went
allow
the
property
to
have
one
consistent
zoning
District
across
the
property,
and
it
is
consistent
with
Comprehensive
planned
and
Community
Development
code
AS
detailed
in
the
staff
report
and
the
community
board
reviewed
this
proposal
at
its
February
21st
2023
hearing
and
unanimously
recommended
approval.
K
X
Morning,
dual
friends
plan
development.
This
voluntary
annexation
petition
involves
a
0.232
acre
property
with
a
protected
address,
consisting
of
one
parcel
of
land
occupied
by
detached
dwelling.
The
property
owner
entered
into
an
agreement
to
Annex
with
the
city
in
2017
cities
and
Sewer
Services
were
expanded
to
the
K-pop
Terrace
neighborhood.
The
property
is
now
contiguous
to
existing
City
boundaries
to
the
west
and
south,
and
the
property
owner
has
requested
annexation
to
receive
City
resident
rates
for
recreation
cards.
X
This
voluntary
annexation
petition
involves
a
0.313
acre
property
consisting
of
one
parcel
of
land
occupied
by
a
detached
dwelling.
The
property
is
located
on
the
west
side
of
Adams
Avenue,
approximately
925
feet
north
of
Lakeview
Road
and
is
contiguous
to
existing
City
boundaries
to
the
Northeast
and
west.
X
W
Thank
you,
mayor
12.1
is
the
renewal
of
a
legal
services
agreement
with
Brian
Miller
Olive
for
Bond
counsel,
Brian
Miller
Olive
has
served
as
the
city's
Bond
Council
since
long
before
I
arrived,
Mr,
Ravens
and
I
have
been
pretty
pleased
with
their
services.
However,
one
aspect
of
this
that
I'm
a
little
bit
less
excited
about
is
that
the
city
currently
separates
our
bond
Council
services
and
our
disclosure
Council
Services
into
two
separate
firms.
W
Apparently
there
were
some
historic
reasons
for
that,
but
that
is,
in
my
view,
a
best
practice
that
should
normally
be
a
single
firm.
We
saw
during
the
Imagine
Clear
Water
issuance
some
of
the
disadvantages
of
having
two
firms
involved.
One
disadvantage
was
just
duplication
of
billing,
and
so
you
end
up
with
higher
fees
than
having
a
single
partner.
The
second
disadvantage
is
a
little
bit
of
too
many
cooks
in
the
kitchen,
so
certainly
my
preference
going
forward
to
Mr,
Ravens
and
I
have
taught
talked
about.
W
This
would
be
to
have
one
Law
Firm
handle
both
our
bond
Council
and
disclosure.
Council
Services
I
would
like
to
do
that
as
a
competitive
process,
even
though
it
is
exempt
from
competitive
selection
under
our
code.
I
just
think
that's
a
good
practice
when
we're
dealing
with
public
funds,
so
my
proposal
is
to
temporarily
renew
our
contract
with
Brian
Miller
Olive
for
Bond
Council
services
that
will
give
Mr,
Ravens
and
I
time
to
put
together
a
competitive
process
and
to
bring
forward
a
Consolidated
proposal
and
save
some
money
for
the
city.
I
Good
morning,
so
our
last
council
meeting
I
provided
an
update
as
to
the
tonnages
that
we
were
Recycling
and
we
will
provide
those
updates.
Monthly,
I.T,
public
Communications
and
solid
ways
are
working
together
to
get
our
website
updated.
So
this
information
will
be
readily
available
to
the
public
that
should
be
available
at
the
beginning
of
May,
so
that
is
coming
close
to
being
online.
Our
RFP
for
a
single
Source
streaming
for
recycling
did
close.
Last
week.
I
We
did
receive
two
applications
for
that
and
the
public
meeting
to
discuss
the
responses
is
going
to
be
Tuesday
April
25th
at
1
pm
at
MSB,
so
additional
information
to
follow
with
that,
and
we
are
continuing
to
work
with
our
consultant.
He
will
provide
assistance
in
terms
of
evaluating
these
proposals
that
we've
received,
as
well
as
some
other
operational
items
as
it
relates
to
both
solid
waste
and
recycling.
B
We
have
a
couple
things
I'd
like
to
put
on
for
future.
Agendas
really
want
to
get
a
noise
ordinance
update
on
the
books
and
let
residents
know
what
they
can
expect
with
the
sound
opening.
What
are
the
noise
expectations
and
and
just
have
an
update
on
that
and
would
like
to
have
a
discussion
I
about
our
recycling
possible
credit,
making
a
decision
about
that
sooner
rather
than
later
going
forward.
So
whenever
it
aligns
with
the
consultant's
information
and
feedback
and
this
RFP
about
single
stream
recycling.
B
That
would
be
good
in
early
February
or
well.
The
second
week
of
February
I
went
to
Sanibel
Island
and
came
back
and
gave
you
just
a
brief
overview
of
that
initial
visit.
I
went
on
a
Wednesday
and
I
think
I
I
talked
to
everyone
on
Thursday,
but
I
have
a
presentation
I'd
like
to
present
at
some
time
as
we
enter
into
hurricane
season
just
about
their
learnings.
A
F
So,
as
most
of
you
know,
I'm
on
the
trbc
board,
and
so
because
it's
it's
usually
on
my
own
mice
as
well
I
have
asked
that
some
of
these
work
sessions
be
switched
to
in
the
afternoon
so
that
I
can
make
it
to
those
meetings.
So
I
was
wondering
how
the
rest
of
the
council
feels
about
just
rescheduling
work
sessions
for
the
afternoon.
So
there's
less
confusion.
F
A
B
A
F
K
K
Yep
actually
Council
the
meeting
times
are
actually
based
on
Council
rules.
So
if
there's
a
request
to
change
the
rules,
then
I'd
have
to
confer
with
a
attorney
sets.
One
second
question
is:
when
would
this
be
effective?
Are
you
thinking
about
and
stop
making
this
implementing
the
change
as
soon
as
possible,
so
I
can
coordinate.
A
Okay,
fine
with
me:
let's
see
what
we
can
do
to
change
the
rules
and
move
that
forward,
and
let
us
know
good
where
we
stand
all
right
anything
else:
Mr,
Alberton,
nope,
good,
okay,
no
one
else,
all
right!
Well,
thank
you
for
welcoming
him
here
in
my
first
meeting
and
I'm
gonna
play
it
and
stumble
through
it
too
much
all.
