Today's
meeting
of
the
environmental
Advisory
Board
is
called
to
order
on
October
19th
welcome
everyone.
The
members
of
the
environmental
Advisory
Board
were
appointed
by
the
city
council
we
serve
voluntarily.
The
board's
objective
is
to
provide
citizen
insight
to
the
city,
council
and
staff
on
environmental
activities
within
and
affecting
the
city
of
Clearwater
agendas
of
today's
meeting
are
on
the
wall
at
the
entrance
to
the
chambers.
Please
remember
to
turn
off
your
cell
phones
and
electronic
devices
to
ensure
a
complete
record
of
the
board's
actions.
B
E
Sarah
Kessler
Steph
liaison.
B
And
I'm
the
chairman
Gerald
Leon,
our
first
order
of
business
is
to
review
and
approve
the
minutes
of
the
board's
last
meeting
members.
Are
there
any
changes
or
corrections
to
the
minutes
of
emotion?
D
B
Thank
you
very
much.
Is
there
anyone
here
to
speak
to
items
not
on
the
agenda.
B
F
B
F
F
F
F
So
I
want
30
trees
in
the
ground.
We've
already
issued
the
permits
requiring
them.
There
was
the
board
president
said
something
about
the
permits
being
expired.
That's
a
very
bogus
argument.
Those
just
mean
that
if
you
don't
cut
the
trees
down
and
use
the
permit
within
I
think
at
six
months
you
have
to
get
a
new
permit.
It's
not
a
statute
of
limitations
on
enforcement,
they're
selling
every
possible
argument
not
to
do
these
replacement,
trees
and
they're
all
absolutely
absurd.
F
The
I
know
this
because,
as
a
member
of
the
Condominium
Association
I
got
invoices
from
the
landscaper
who
cut
down
the
trees,
I
know
large
pine
September,
30th
removed
I
want
six
hundred
dollars,
20
of
them
all
I
do
is
cross-reference
with
the
permits
no
permit
around
that
date.
For
that
type
of
tree.
We
know
there
was
no
permit.
This
is
proof
positive
that
the
trees
were
taken
down
without
a
permit
and
that's
what
the
code
requires.
F
F
B
Thank
you
very
much.
I
know,
we've
talked
a
lot
about
tree.
Removal,
oh
or
slightly.
Our
hands
are
slightly
tied
because
of
the
state
laws
that
have
superseded
city
ordinances
for
trees,
but
maybe
we
can
get
some
more
clarification
from
usera
about.
E
Yeah
I
I,
don't
know
about
this
particular
situation,
but
we
can
have
like
the
planning
and
development
like
the
clearing
and
grubbing
like
the
tree.
People
provide
clarification
and
provide
an
update
on
this
situation.
B
E
B
B
Great
yeah
just
to
keep
her
priced
of
what
we're
trying
to
okay.
Thank
you
very
much.
Do
we
have
anyone
else
wishing
to
speak
about
any
item?
That's
not
on
the
agenda!
B
F
B
H
For
having
me
Melody
and
sustainability
specialist,
since
the
last
update,
I
just
have
a
couple
more
related
updates
to
those
programs
that
I've
shared
before
starting
with
the
synergistic
energy
conservation
program.
H
We
actually
just
had
our
full
data
release
meeting
today
with
synergistic
and
moving
on,
we
will
be
able
to
you,
know
we're
working
with
public
Communications
to
share
that
information
on
our
website
and
those
information
will
contain
Energy
savings.
H
H
So
right
now
we're
moving
really
well
in
this
program.
Several
info
sessions
have
been
conducted
by
solar,
United
neighbors,
our
partner,
and
the
next
couple
of
weeks
will
be
our
last
month
for
enrollment,
so
we're
ramping
up
on
promotion
through
all
like
CDE
newsletters
and
having
in-person
info
sessions
at
Countryside
library
and
Etc
yeah.
We
do
have
the
solar
feasibility
studies
that
we
have
yet
to
come
into
conclusion,
but
very
very
soon.
H
We've
been
receiving
very
good
data
from
our
consultant
on
this
and
by
end
of
the
year,
we'll
have
to
pick
the
top
five
facilities
to
to
install
solar
panels
on
existing
City
facilities.
H
H
H
Has
been
installed
last
week
at
the
28th
North
Garden
Avenue
garage,
that
is
right
across
from
City
Hall.
We
have
two
new
blink
Chargers
and
then
right
now
we're
just
waiting
for
final
inspection
and
making
sure
that
the
network
is,
you
know,
fully
connected
and
we
foresee
going
like
next
week
if
everything
goes
properly
and
I
will
be
promoting
this
on
social
media
too.
So
more
people
can
make
use
of
that
charger,
yeah
moving
on
to
some
Community
Education
and
outreach
program.
H
H
So
we
engaged
Municipal
staff
members
on
topics
related
to
climate,
Friendly,
Foods
and
solar
energy,
and
last
Friday
was
the
was
the
last
monthly
cleanup
second
Friday
monthly
cleanup
that
was
gearing
towards
the
big
cleanup,
clear
water
that
will
happen
from
November
7
to
12th
and
we're
hoping
many
of
you
will
be
able
to
join
us
as
well
and
would
love
that
you
spread
the
word
for
for
to
the
community
and
the
website
is
the
big
cleanup
clearwater.com.
H
There
are
many
many
sites
open
for
registration,
yeah
and
another
big
project
that
we're
working
on
is
the
sustainability
Conference
next
year
in
February,
in
collaboration
with
the
Sierra
Club
Clearwater
neighborhoods
Coalition,
we're
having
the
sustainability
conference,
focus
on
topics
related
to
energy
efficiency
at
home,
solar
energy
and
electric
vehicles.
H
B
H
C
I
have
a
question:
it's
not
related
to
what
you
talked
about,
but
it's
just
a
question
about
composting
like
Community
composting.
Is
there
any
any
of
that.
H
Right
so
we
have
a
composting
course
that
was
set
up.
The
community
residents
can
sign
up
for
the
course
free
of
charge
and
they
learn
about
how
to
do
composting
at
the
end
of
the
course
they're
able
to
redeem
for
a
free
compost
bin.
We
still
have
that
program
going
on
yeah.
That's
the
only
one
that
I'm
aware
of
but
happy
to
hear
any
additional
suggestions.
I.
C
H
I
know
that
there
is
a
community
garden
that
does
complete
composting
in
their
own
garden,
but
I'm
not
sure
if
there's
that
external
food
waste
donations,
but
I
can
definitely
check
on
that,
because
that
would
be
a
great
opportunity
for
people
who
have
that
food
waste
and
good
for
the
garden
as
well.
H
B
I'm
curious
what
the
feedback's
been
on
the
compost
through
the
city.
Have
you
heard
anything
from
people
who
have
the
compost,
bins,
yeah.
H
This
was
before
my
time,
but
from
what
I
heard
the
course
was
very
well
received,
we
had
an
initial
amount
of
compost
bins
to
give
out,
and
they
were
almost
fully
redeemed
very
quickly.
I
can
get
an
update
on.
B
I'm
just
curious
because
I
know
personally,
because
I
participated
and
I
happen,
compost,
bins
and
I
know
other
people
who
have
them.
They
don't
really
work
very
well
and
I,
don't
know
and
that's
what
I've
heard
and
seen
is
that
they're
not
very
efficient
they're,
not
as
good
as
just
having
it
in
the
ground
with
a
tarp
over
it.
So
I
didn't
know.
B
H
We
do
have
some
numbers
in
terms
of
because
we
just
had
the
presentation
like
a
few
minutes
ago.
They
did
share.
There
were
certain
percentage
of
reduction
in
terms
of
energy
usage,
water
usage
and
cost
savings
to
I.
Don't
have
the
numbers,
oh.
B
From
that
that's
great
and
then
I
was
curious
as
far
as
you
mentioned,
creating
a
new
solar
program,
a
city
program,
would
is
that
only
for
solar
or
would
that
be
up
for
other
types
of
Home,
hardening
or
other
type
like
for,
for
better
Windows
or
for
better
insulation,
or
things
like
that.
Other.
B
H
Two
now
two
okay,
hopefully
more
and
we're
looking
forward
to
working
more
of
that
I
believe
the
next
one
will
be
looking
at
MSB
garage
and
then
also
having
more
on
our
current
Garden
Avenue
garage.
But
that's
all
like.
We
have
to
talk
with
Duke
Energy
and
make
sure
that
we
have
the
capacity
for
that
increase.
I
H
Is
from
this
arpa
funds
yeah?
So
it's
really
initial
face
discussion
right
now,
so
I
can't
and
I
don't
have
much
details
to
share,
but
we
are
looking
forward
to
use
that
great
money.
H
H
D
H
Some
parking
lots,
so
that's
a
good
question
so
for
certain
facilities,
the
consultant
will,
you
know,
have
had
the
comment
of
oh.
If
solely
putting
the
solar
panel
on
the
building
itself
it
it
doesn't
generate
enough
electricity
for
the
whole
entire
facilities,
energy
usage.
So
then
he
would
propose
something
like
having
a
covered
sort
of
sort
of
like
having
a
canopy
over,
not
a
canopy,
but.
H
D
Of
the
the
uses
in
other
parts
of
the
country,
yeah.
H
He's
so
so
the
consultant,
the
Theos
percentages,
facilities
to
have
solar
panel
on
top
of
parking,
empty
parking,
lots
basically
to
have
a
shelter
and
then
put
solar
on
it,
and
we
even
have
suggestions
on
putting
solar
on
the
ground
as
well.
If
we
do
have
a
a
piece
of
land,
but
it
is
really
up
to
up
to
us
to
decide
what
kind
of
panels
we're
going
for
and
where
so,
we'll
have
to
do.
That
final
analysis
in
selection.
D
And
the
the
other
question
I
had
is
on
the
sustainability
conference
that
might
fit
in
well
to
understand.
You
know
the
scope
and
how
our
committee
might
participate,
since
we
do
have
a
January
meeting
and
if
that
in
your
sustainability
conference,
is
targeted
for
February
and
but
it'd
be
nice
to
know
the
scope
and
other
vendors
of
you
know
your
outline
that
we
could
give
some
consideration
to.
You
know
some
issues
that
we
would
feel.
H
B
C
Oh
one
more
question
so
back
to
the
composting:
do
you
know
if
there's
any
talk
or
plans
for
a
municipal
composting
facility
within
the
city
of
Clearwater.
H
I
Have
one
more
question:
okay,
the
the
iri,
the
inflation
reduction
act
that
was
just
passed
are:
are
there?
Are
you
getting?
Are
you
unpacking
it
so
to
speak,
is
to
you
know
to
get
some
ideas
about
what
that
is
going
to
mean
for
a
municipal,
solar,
Municipal,
energy
efficiencies.
I
H
Right
now,
we,
what
we
know
is
very
broad,
Municipal
municipalities
and
are
getting
30
cash
payment
for
having
solar
installed
on
our
facilities.
But
how
will
we
get
it
and
what
is
the
details
behind
it?
We're
still
sort
of
waiting
to
hear
back
from
the
federal
level
and
definitely
want
to
know
more
details
as
well.
So
we
work
closely
with
solar,
United
neighbors
once
they
know
more
information
we'll
be
able
to
disseminate
out
to
the
community
as
well.
E
So
just
a
note,
I
had
it
in
my
director's
report.
So
there
is
a
presentation
on
the
inflation
reduction
act
at
tomorrow.
Night's
council
meeting
and
the
our
the
the
our
lobbyist
is
going
to
give
information.
So
they've
already
talked
to
some
of
the
directors
at
the
city
about
some
of
the
specific
things
that
the
city
like
they've,
talked
to
them
a
little
bit
about
that.
E
So
that
is
one
reason
we
don't
have
any
of
that
information
tonight
is
because
it's
going
to
go
they're
going
to
discuss
it
at
Council
tomorrow,
so
go
to
council
tomorrow,
night
watch
that
and
that
there
will
be
a
lot
more
information
about
the
specifics
of
what
we
can
potentially
provide
to
our
residents.
What
we
can
take
advantage
of
as
a
city
and
all
of
that
kind
of
stuff
will
be
in
hopefully
in
tomorrow's
presentation.
Related
to
that.
B
J
Live
in
Clearwater,
and
thank
you
melody
for
presenting
that
our
questions,
maybe
as
much
as
comments
one
is
related
to
EVS
Nev
charging.
So
one
of
the
things
that
was
in
last
year's
infrastructure
bill
that
was
approved
was
related
to
EV
charging
infrastructure,
so
kind
of
half
of
that
now
has
been
approved
by
the
federal
government.
So
all
50
states
had
to
submit
a
plan
in
order
to
get
that
money
that
was
allocated
for
them.
So
Florida
has
done
that
they
submitted
that
I.
J
Think
at
the
beginning
of
August,
it's
been
approved
that
that
has
been
approved
targets
your
highways
as
far
as
charging
infrastructure
that
will
be
on
highway
so
essentially
fast
Chargers,
the
other
part
of
the
equation.
That's
part
of
that
infrastructure
act
that
has
not
been
defined
and
allocated
is
related
more
to
what
I
would
say,
the
city
of
Clearwater
and
the
majority
of
charging
in
in
the
county
would
be
associated
with
so
mainly
level,
two
charging,
for
instance.
J
So
there
is
not
a
timeline.
I,
keep
on
asking
the
southern
lions
for
clean
energy,
a
person
that's
in
charge
of
VV
charging
for
that
organization,
I'm,
not
sure
when
that
timing
of
when
plants
are
going
to
be
submitted
and
when
that
money
is
going
to
be
allocated,
but
that,
hopefully,
will
be
where
the
city
of
Clearwater
can
take
advantage
of.
That
I
am
starting
to
work
with
some
groups
to
help,
but
also
to
learn
so,
for
instance,
Trinity
Church.
J
So
they've
gotten
quotes
they're
in
that
one
of
the
learnings
that
I
have
already
is
golfstar
is
a
company
that
is
located
in
Clearwater
and
they
specialize
in
installation
of
EV
Chargers,
both
residential
as
well
as
like,
in
this
case
commercial
I
guess
it
might
be
considered
as-
and
there
are
some
nuances
there
as
it
relates
to
things
in
the
inflation
reduction
act
that
take
advantage
of
a
church
as
a
non-profits,
similar
to
a
municipality
and
there's
things
that
apply
to
them
and
one
of
the
things
that
apparently
is
in
that
inflation,
inflation
reduction
Act
is
for
a
business
of
the
like
the
installer
to
potentially
take
advantage
of
their
ability
to
deduct
it
for,
for
installing
it
at
a
non-profit.
J
So
I'll
learn
more
about
that,
and
that
could
be
an
interesting
thing
to
for
to
be
able
to
take
advantage
of.
Lastly,
though,
I
did
want
to
thank
Melody,
her
department
and
the
city
for
their
promotion
of
the
solar
Co-op.
So
it's
a
big
deal
that
city
of
Clearwater
is
leading
that
you
know
effort.
It
shows
up.
J
I
I
get
the
same
statistics
as
you
do
each
week
from
solar,
United
neighbors
and
it's
impressive
to
see
the
much
higher
percentage
of
the
homes
homeowners
that
are
applying
for
the
co-op
come
from
Clearwater
than
in
previous
co-ops.
J
So
it
definitely
makes
a
difference.
What
Clearwater
is
doing
for
advertising
on
that
and
it
yeah.
It
definitely
shows
up
in
in
Atlanta
to
your
question,
I
think
it's
close
to
yeah
and
you
might
have
said
this
to
Melody
about
around
100
or
so
that
have
applied
and
I
think
it's
30,
something
that
have
been
approved.
J
Essentially,
you
know
to
move
on
to
the
next
stage:
there's
maybe
there's
another
40,
50
or
60
that
are
still
waiting
to
be
evaluated
or
the
evaluation
hasn't
finished
and
then
there's
a
small
number,
maybe
five
to
ten
that
were
essentially
disqualified
because
they
didn't
have
the
right
situation,
maybe
too
much
shading
or
something
like
that.
J
B
All
right
point
that
Co-op
is
very
very
helpful
in.
B
L
There
he
is,
my
name
is
Mike
Engelman
I'm,
a
city
of
Clearwater
resident
at
295801,
South
and
I
am
handing
over
the
reins
on
this
project.
For
this
presentation,
the
Gunner.
K
All
right
good
afternoon,
City
Clearwater
environmental
Advisory
board
members
birds
like
to
thank
each
of
you
for
allowing
me
to
come
out
and
present
on
such
an
exciting
project.
Mike
and
I
have
been
working
on
yet
my
name
is
Gunner
Mitchell
g-u-n-n-e-r-m-I-t-c-h-e-l-l.
K
Perfect
and
I
am
a
project
manager
for
Pinellas
County
Utilities
I've
worked
with
County
for
a
little
over
four
years
and
like
Mike,
I
too,
am
a
city
Clearwater
resident,
as
recently
as
of
July
just
bought
a
house
right
down
the
street
from
here
today,
we're
here
to
present
on
the
regional
resource
recovery
facility,
we're
going
to
provide
some
background
information,
the
Project's
purpose
and
benefits,
and
how
the
city
of
Clearwater
can
participate
in
such
a
environmentally
just
project.
K
I
think
we
can
all
agree
on
the
fact
that
our
beautiful
state
unfortunately
has
a
fragile
ecosystem,
we're
essentially
located
at
sea
level,
and
the
groundwater
is
just
a
few
feet
below
the
ground.
We
walk
on.
K
Both
these
characteristics
combined
make
our
waterways
sensitive
to
pollutants,
but
nutrient
pollution
particularly,
is
considered
to
be
a
various
cause
of
water
quality
issues
throughout
the
state.
These
issues
have
become
more
prominent
in
the
recent
years,
causing
state
legislators
to
act
so
in
June
2020
Senate,
Bill
712,
which
is
also
known
as
the
clean
waterways
Act,
was
signed
into
law.
The
goal
this
law
is
to
protect
Florida's
water
resources
and
the
law
focuses
on
minimalizing
the
impact
of
nutrient
pollution
sources
and
strengthening
regulatory
requirements.
K
So
part
of
this
includes
changing
your
changes
in
various
Wastewater
management
practices
as
a
result
of
state
regulations
on
biosols
to
land
application,
specifically
Florida
Administrative
Code
62640
was
revised
in
2021,
with
even
more
stringent
requirements
regarding
biosolids
use
on
land.
So
these
changes
in
the
requirements
are
expected
to
reduce
the
land
application
sites
and
further
concerns
are
being
brought
up
about
emerging
contaminants
in
biosols.
K
So,
for
nearly
20
years,
Pinellas
County
has
provided
a
hundred
percent
beneficial
reuse
of
our
biosolids
through
thermal
drying
and
a
pelletizing
process
located
at
our
South
cross
Bayou
Advanced
Water
Reclamation
facility
Additionally,
the
Pinellas
County
Solid
Waste
Department
has
provided
a
regional
solution
to
waste
disposal
to
its
energy
waste
to
energy
facility,
which
has
been
in
operation
since
1979.,
so
leadership
in
Pinellas
County
through
through
our
leadership,
Pinellas
County
Utilities.
K
You
know
we're
taking
this
productive
approach
to
design
a
facility
that
will
be
able
to
incorporate
regulatory
changes,
both
current
and
anticipated,
to
help
with
solid
waste
as
well
to
achieve
their
zero
waste
to
landfill
goal,
and
this
will
all
be
while
incorporating
a
beneficial
reuse
to
approach
waste
streams.
So
this
is
our
opportunity
locally
to
support
and
practice
Superior
environmental
stewardship,
to
implement
green
technologies
for
practical
to
protect
and
improve
the
quality
of
our
water,
air
and
other
natural
resources.
K
I
think
earlier
the
goal
of
the
we
call
it
the
rrf
is
to
benefit
beneficially,
reuse,
biosol
is
generated
in
the
county
and
in
our
nearby
Partners,
so
not
just
our
plants,
but
everyone
else
around
us
and
this
will
be
to
sustainably
recover
the
inherent
resource
value
to
produce
alternative
products
that
will
effectively
eliminate
the
need
to
rely
solely
on
landfilling
and
land
applications.
K
K
Just
last
month
we
actually
had
our
first
stakeholder
engagement
meeting
with
our
potential
Regional
Partners.
This
included
the
city's
Clearwater
Largo
Dunedin
Oldsmar
Parkland
Springs,
St
Pete
and
other
neighboring
Partners
in
the
bay.
K
So
this
graphic
does
a
great
job
at
highlighting
the
potential
resources
of
the
facility
can
use
how
they
can
recycle
these
resources
and
potential
end
products
on
the
left.
We
have
our
resources
in
the
middle.
We
have
our
potential
biological,
chemical
or
physical
treatment
processes
used
to
recycle
these
resources
and
then
on
the
right.
We
have
the
potentially
covered
resources
and
products.
The
main
goal
focuses
on
being
environmentally
sustainable
and
economically
feasible,
so
we'll
be
looking
at
all
these
mentioned
composting
and
more
as
the
project
moves
forward.
K
So
I
mentioned
earlier,
we're
currently
in
the
partnership
engagement
period
in
the
next
couple
months,
we'll
continue
to
work
with
our
regional
partners
and
with
help
from
our
Consultants
on
board,
we'll
be
looking
at
we'll
look
into
ongoing
long-term
agreements
to
a
little
to
solidify
these
Partnerships.
K
K
B
Thank
you
very
much.
Gunner
I
appreciate
you
coming
out
and
giving
us
a
presentation.
Anyone
on
the
board
I
mean
Quest.
C
I
have
a
couple
questions
with
the
food
waste
all
right
in
terms
of
the
resource
recovery
are.
Is
there
plans
to
have
working
with
municipalities
to
have
them
separate
their
waste
in
terms
of
having
compostable
like
food,
waste
and
yard
waste
in
one
bin,
and
then
landfill
or
waste
energy
in
another
yeah.
K
I
think
we're
still
looking
right
now
because
we're
so
in
the
preliminary
stages.
We're
kind
of
you
know
looking
at,
what's
going
to
be
easiest
for
everyone,
so
not
just
the
consumer
end,
but
then
the
user
end
as
well.
Obviously
it
would
be
nice
if
we
could
just
get
everyone
to
throw
their
food
waste
in
a
specific
trash
can.
But
if
that's
not
ideal,
then
we'll
be
looking
at
other
ways
to
collect
that
either
if
it's
through
sorting
at
Solid,
Waste
or
other
potential
methods,
it's
definitely
something
we're
going
to
be
looking
into.
Okay,.
K
Yeah,
so
it
can
be
electricity,
and
you
know
currently,
at
our
treatment
plant
we
use
our.
We
get
biogas
as
an
end
result
and
we
can
use
that
to
power
the
facility,
so
we
can
use
that
to
either
power
this
facility,
or
we've
done
other
studies
that
you
know
we
can
take
that
biogas
and
turn
it
into
like
diesel
fuel
to
power.
You
know
potentially
power,
our
Fleet,
which
would
be
the
vehicles
that
operate
inside
the
county.
K
Gas
yeah,
it
could
be
either
I
mean
it's
very
flexible.
The
the
point
of
the
facility
is,
you
know
we.
We
have
all
these
different
waste
streams.
We
want
to
be
able
to
be
flexible,
what's
going
to
be
best
economically
and
then
environmentally.
So
you
know,
let's
say
one
year:
it's
it's
better
to
be
making
the
gas
to
power
the
facility,
but
in
the
next
it's
like
no,
this
could
be
used
for
you
know
Vehicles.
Instead,
we
want
to
keep
our
options
open
and
just
be
willing
to
be
flexible
and
adaptable
to
where
you
know.
I
And
you're
saying
this
could
be
this
energy
would
be
available
to
the
public
as
well.
I
mean
that
I'm
looking
at
beneficial
research
reuse
this
page
here,
okay,
just
the
end
game.
There.
K
Yeah
I
mean
that
is
not
that
was
on
the
presentation
and
I
I
didn't
know
you
guys
would
have
that,
but
it
is
obviously
an
option
we'll
be
looking
at.
We
we're
not
set
in
full
we're
going
to
be
looking
at
all
types
of
criteria.
All
types
of
you
know
waste
streams
that
we
have
potential
resources.
K
What
are
going
to
be
the
best
biological,
chemical,
physical
treatment
processes,
and
we
don't
have
anything
set
in
stone
yet
as
far
as
what
we're
going
to
do
with
the
end
products,
but
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
an
end
product.
That
is,
you,
know,
marketable
and
makes
sense
feasible.
You
know
that
makes
economical
sense
and
then
environmental
sense.
At
the
same
time,.
C
John
no
no
I
had
oh
so
I
have
another
question
so
with
this,
is
there
any
plans
to
possibly
set
up
another
facility
to
do
like
an
industrial
composting?
Because
if
the
goal.
C
Well,
a
lot
of
ocean
friendly
products
that
are
being
promoted
are
made
out
of
bioplastics
and
or
bad
gas
like
sugarcane
made
out
of
leftover,
can
be
compostable
with
the
food
waste
and
with
the
yard
waste,
and
then
that
could
be
made
into
a
soil
amendment
that
doesn't
have
a
little
bit
easier
than
using
the
slurry
from
the
diet.
Digester,
the
anaerobic
digestion,
so
is
there
any?
C
C
Well,
it
could
be
a
food
compost,
landfill
or
no
I'm,
sorry
yard
waste,
and
then
you
can
also
put
in
the
compostable
Plastics
or
that's
been
there's
a
new
wave
of
that
which
currently
is
either
just
goes
to
the
waste
energy
facility,
or
it
may
be
a
landfilled.
K
G
B
Okay,
I
had
a
couple
of
questions.
You
said
that
this
isn't
like
pie
in
the
sky.
When
would
the
facility
be
built
or
what
are
the
plans
for
when
it
would
be.
M
Oh
Nori,
Hancock
I
am
plan
Operations
Division,
all
right,
so
wake
up
so
to
schedule
the
projects
Divine
three
phases
so
right
now
we
just
got
the
approval
for
phase
one
which
includes
this
estate,
folder
engagement,
and
it's
going
to
include
the
technology
assessment,
so
things
that
you
were
mentioning.
Yes,
we
were
looking
at
different
peace
talks,
not
only
biosolids,
as
mentioned,
but
tires
yard
waste
foot
waste
and
these
other
biodegradable
material.
M
So
then,
after
we
do
that
and
that's
about
two
years
it
just
kick
off,
then
we're
gonna
enter
in
what
is
phase
two.
Where
now
that
we
have
technology,
we
have
our
stakeholders
participants.
Now
we
can
go
and
develop
a
design
criteria
package
and
that
would
be
about
18
months
and
then
we'll
have
no
advertise.
M
Ideally
right
now
we're
thinking
about
doing
a
design,
build
operate,
contract
and
the
construction
should
be
by
28.
So
about
five
years
from
now,
it's
like.
M
And
yeah
that
possibility
will
be
operation
yeah.
B
All
right,
thank
you
very
much.
I'm
curious,
too,
explain
how
difficult
or
the
materials
to
be
usable,
how
what's
the
feasibility
of
getting
usable
materials
for
this
facility.
K
L
Well,
just
to
take
a
step
backwards,
I
guess
the
this
has
in
though
this
will
not
affect
the
operation
of
the
existing
waste
to
energy
facility
or
the
landfill
directly.
The
waste
of
energy
plant,
as
as
it
currently
is
operated,
is
if
we
continue
operating
at
the
rate
we're
getting
garbage
every
day.
It
will
reach
its
capacity
in
2026.,
which
means
anything
beyond
any
Trash.
Beyond
that
it
has
to
go
into
the
landfill.
L
The
landfill
will
reach
its
capacity
in
2103,
which
isn't
really
that
far
off
what
this
facility
will
do
will
will
take
some
of
the
things
that
we
have
to
burn
in
the
waste
energy
plant
like
tires
like
fiberglass,
Halls,
Spas
boats.
Those
kinds
of
things
takes
up
a
lot
of
space
in
a
landfill,
but
you
can't
bury
tires.
Obviously
they
have
to
burn
them
at
the
expense
of
not
burning
household
garbage,
which
then
goes
in
the
landfill.
L
In
addition,
they
want
us,
the
governments,
everybody
wants
us
to
take
the
grocery
waste
and
the
food
waste
out
of
the
trash,
get
that
out
of
the
land
filter
that
generates
greenhouse
gases.
This
facility
will
take
the
energy
and
the
tires,
the
energy
and
the
fiberglass,
the
energy
and
the
in
the
in
the
food
and
grocery
waste
convert
the
biosolids
destroy
whatever
might
be
present
in
the
biosolids,
eliminating
the
need
to
land
application
or
landfill
them
and
hopefully
meet
any
kind
of
regulatory
requirements
that
are
undoubtedly
coming
coming
down.
L
B
L
The
only
thing
that
will
be
sifted
or
sorted
maybe
will
be
tires
and
groceries.
Sure
the
food
and
grocery
waste
is
going
to
take
another
effort
all
together
to
get
people
to
separate
that
that's
a
different
problem,
certainly,
but
otherwise
we're
not
intending
the
sword
plastic
any
more
than
than
what
they're
doing
right
now
at
the
waistband.
L
Some
some
other
municipalities
have
partnered,
with
with
private
Industries,
on
on
a
piece
of
property,
for
instance,
and
set
up
side
businesses
for
recycling
lumber
for
recycling
Plastics,
potentially,
that's
a
benefit.
This
facility
will
will
offer
we're
not
planning
on
on
that
as
being
a
requirement
for
this
project,
but
at
least
it
leads
naturally,
to
that
to
that
end,
result
and.
B
You
mentioned
one
other
thing
and
I
was
going
to
ask
this
as
well
and
I
said
well
how
much
waste
would
this
remove
from
the
waste
energy
facility
while.
L
Something
the
waste
energy
facility
when
they'd
get
tires,
they
have
to
burn
the
tires
sometimes
of
the
year
they
get
more
tires
than
other
times.
They
can
stockpile
them
for
a
little
while
what
they've
done
a
few
years
ago
to
reduce
the
amount
of
tires,
is
to
raise
the
Tipping
fee
for
tires,
which
kind
of
cut
down
the
amount
of
tires
they
were
getting,
but
they're
still
getting
tired.
So
from
that
aspect
of
it,
if
we
the
the
tires,
are
just
you
know,
energy
waiting
to
be
willing
to
be
used.
L
B
Okay
and
then,
as
far
as
I
think,
there's
been
discussion
between
the
county
and
the
city
in
terms
of
a
regional
sorting
facility
for
recyclables.
This
wouldn't
have
anything
there
would
be
no
component.
That's.
L
B
All
right,
thank
you
very
much.
I
don't
have
any
other.
B
E
You
so
does
Solid
Waste
biosolids
come
to
you
now
like
from
the
city
of
Clearwater,
no
Public,
Utilities,
okay,
oh.
L
Everybody
every
municipality
deals
with
it
on
their
own.
Okay
and
that's
the
whole
idea
is
to
then
that
result
of
this
facility
should
be
instead
of
everybody,
doing
their
own
thing
right
and
they're,
creating
their
own
carbon
footprint.
The
whole
idea
of
this
facility
is
to
reduce
the
impact
of
everybody
doing
it
by
them.
L
L
L
Most
everybody
right
now
is
just
kind
of
relying
on
a
third
party
to
to
move
their
their
bio
saws
to
a
field
somewhere.
The
hurricane
greatly
impacted
a
lot
of
that
and
it
kind
of
raised
that
that
issue
even
higher
than
it
was
before
we,
the
Pinellas
County
Utilities,
is
kind
of
in
a
favorable
position,
the
fertilizer
pellets,
which
can
be
shipped
and
stored.
L
It
doesn't
need
to
be
put
on
a
field
right
away,
recognizing
that
if
everybody
wanted
to
do
that,
they'd
have
to
all
invest
in
the
kind
of
equipment
that
Colony
has
right
now
and
asking
a
lot.
So
it
seems
like
it
would
be
a
better
idea
to
combine
everybody's
resources,
and
it
would
all
have
one
instead
of
everybody,
sending
their
trucks
through
Okeechobee
or
or
up
north
or
to
Georgia
just
bring
it
to
the
regional
facility.
I
You
probably
wouldn't
know
we'd
probably
need
to
be
talking
to
Solid
Waste
about
that,
but
is
there
I
mean
we've
all
been
waiting
to
see
if
the
County's
gonna
have
a
where
we
could
all
bring
our
recyclables
to
you
know
one
place
and
not
and
not
Hillsborough
County.
This.
L
Facility
is
not
going
to
address
directly
the
the
citizens
ability
to
sort
milk
cartons
from
the
grocery
from
from
cardboard
or
anything
like
it's
not
going
to
have
any
impact
on
that
right.
It
won't
have
any
impact
on
the
soaring
Metals.
Further
we're
not
going
to
affect
the
solid
waste
operation
directly.
We're
only
going
to
take
some
of
this
trash.
They
have
to
burn
now
or
landfill.
Now,
move
it
to
this
facility,
leaving
them
more
capacity
right.
It's
about
as
yeah
higher
high
level
as
I
can.
L
E
Next
steps
I
would
suggest
that
we
talked
to
our
public
utilities
department
and
get
their
opinion
on.
What
they
feel
is
is
whether
they
support
this
like
how
how
they're,
how
they're
interested
in
it
the
big
change
for
us,
would
be
the
biosolids.
E
Utilities,
because,
like
a
lot
of
this
stuff,
isn't
going
to
change
for
us
like
it's
behind
the
curtain
type
of
thing,
so
it's
really
the
utilities
getting
rid
of
like
having
a
way
for
them
to
deal
with
their
biosol.
It's
like
that's
the
big,
the
big
thing
and
so
I
would
recommend
that
we
find
out
what
utilities
thinks
about
it
and
then
you
guys
can
come
back.
When
you
get
to
your
next
step.
E
B
B
L
Like
this
would
be
a
good
opportunity
for
well,
the
main
reason
for
our
presentation
today
is
to
is
to
make
you
aware
of
the
regional
facility.
Typically,
the
some
of
these
boards
don't
know
about
this
until
they
read
about
it
in
the
paper
and
then
they're
behind
the
eight
ball,
so
we're
hoping
to
be
a
little
bit
more
proactive
and
and
at
least
inform
you
of
what
we're
trying
to
do.
Certainly
that
you
get
an
idea
what
it
means
when
you
read
something
about
yeah.
M
Just
I
just
want
to
add
a
couple
of
things
so,
first
with
regards
to
your
bio
solids
and
I
know
that
you
guys
are
currently
your
public
utilities
or
Public
Works.
You
guys
use
biosolids
management
resource
on.
In
other
words,
you
guys
hand
it
off
to
somebody
else
to
deal
with.
It
comes
with
a
price
tag,
of
course,
and
then
in
regards
to
their
interest
with
these
triple
RF.
M
M
What
is
what
is
that
cost,
as
it
compares
to
what
you
guys
currently
doing,
how
the
regulatory
it's
shaping
up
and
such
so
they
definitely
have
interest
at
least
to
following
along,
but
of
course,
there's
a
lot
of
more
things
that
they're
going
to
need
to
learn
as
we
move
forward.
That
was
three.
L
L
E
Okay,
so
maybe
I
changed
this,
so,
let's,
let's
my
thought
is
to
have
public
utilities
kind
of
tell
us
what
they
do
with
the
biostatics,
certainly,
and
so,
let's
find
out
who
they
sell
it
to
and
what
goes
on
and
if
it
would
be
a
better
product
than
like,
whatever
company
they
sell
it
to
like
what
happens
with
it
other
than
you
know
what
what
Pinellas
County's
potential
suggestions
are.
So
we
can
just
learn
a
little
bit
more
about
what
Clearwater
does
with
their
biosols
sounds.
B
B
Thank
you.
Okay.
We'll
move
on
to
our
next
item
slightly
changed
from
Imagine
Clearwater
update,
we're
gonna
get
that
from
Sarah
via
email.
So,
instead
of
that,
we
are
going
to
be
Grace
with
Kyle
brotherton's
presence
and
he's
going
to
give
us
an
update
to
the
comprehensive
plan.
Thank
you
very
much.
N
So
first
up
is
our
vision,
statement
and
typically
vision.
Statements
are
very
high
level
aspirational
statements.
We
kicked
off
this
project
last
year.
We
did
extensive
Community
engagement
and
from
that
feedback,
through
our
engagement,
we
were
able
to
craft
a
statement
that
really
focuses
on
the
qualities
of
making
the
city
an
attractive
and
sustainable
place,
and
so,
as
you
can
see
on
the
screen,
our
vision
statement
as
it
stands
today
is
from
the
bay
to
the
beach
in
Clearwater.
N
And
then,
as
I
said
previously,
we
did
do
extensive,
Community
engagement
when
we
kicked
off
this
project
and
through
that
engagement
in
the
feedback,
we
started
to
hear
a
number
of
themes
pop
up
and,
as
you
can
see
on
the
screen,
we
came
up
with
these
six
overarching
themes
that
will
be
used
throughout
the
the
comprehensive
plan.
So
the
first
one
is
the
city
of
opportunity.
N
City
will
offer
opportunities
to
raise
a
family
start
and
build
a
business
visit
for
a
day
or
an
extended
vacation.
The
next
one
is
liberal
and
attractive
places.
The
city
has
a
very
unique
natural
setting,
Rich
history
and
culture
and
locational
advantages
of
strong
neighborhoods,
a
thriving
downtown
quality,
Parks
and
Recreation
a
sustainable
and
resilient
environment.
N
N
So
with
these
themes
and
the
vision
statements
we're
going
to
be
moving
into
the
preliminary
framework
for
the
plan
which
we
have
as
drafted
now
so
really.
This
preliminary
plan
framework
is
a
place-based
approach.
We've
built
currently
on
the
Citywide
design
structure
that
we
have
in
our
current
plan
and
really
we
found
five
places
to
really
build
our
comprehensive
plan
off
of
so
the
first
one
is
our
City's
neighborhoods.
N
Downtown
Clearwater
and
Clearwater
Beach
these
are
pretty
unique
places
and
that
they
have
their
own
governing
plans
as
well.
But
these
are
the
city's
traditional
plans
for
living,
working
shopping
and
entertainment,
and
these
are
some
of
the
most
walkable
neighborhoods
and
districts
within
the
region.
So
going
forward,
we
like
to
focus
on
the
continued
success
of
these
areas
and
offer
guidance
on
activating
the
vacant
and
underutilized
spaces
character
and
the
mobility
for
residents
and
visitors
and
workers.
N
Our
mixed
youth
centers
are
typically
located
along
US
19
and
some
along
Fort
Harrison
Avenue,
but
these
are
our
typical
Auto
oriented
living
and
working
places
and
as
we
go
forward,
we're
looking
to
bring
new
life
a
new
opportunity
into
these
places,
objectives
and
policies
going
forward
will
focus
on
reinvestment
and
Redevelopment
to
attract
employment,
intensive
uses
and
improve
access.
Connectivity
and
walkability.
N
N
Objectives
and
policies
in
the
future
will
focus
on
promoting
a
mix
of
uses
that
activate
underutilized
properties,
improve
ability
and
mitigate
impacts
on
adjacent
neighborhoods.
This
would
be
with
our
commercial
uses
next
to
residential
as
an
example,
and
then,
lastly,
we
have
our
Hercules
District.
N
N
How
many
places
will
really
be
our
future
land
use
element
and
it
will
focus
on
information
on
housing,
land
use
and
then
our
centers
and
corridors
and
Coastal
management
chapter,
which
is
probably
of
most
importance
of
this
board.
That
will
really
focus
on
the
flood
hazards,
our
Coastal
and
Resource
Management,
as
well
as
our
natural
resource
protection.
N
N
So
our
next
steps
So
currently
we're
drafting
these
chapters
and
we're
currently
really
working
on
the
quality
places
and
the
mobility
chapter.
These
are
going
to
be
our
two
biggest
chapters,
so
as
we
complete
these
chapters,
staff
is
proposing
to
direct
these
these
chapters
and
present
them
to
the
public
through
our
website,
Clearwater
2445.com,
and
we're
also
planning
on
hosting
in-person
workshops
throughout
the
city.
That
way,
instead
of
one
big
comprehensive
plan
at
the
end,
we'd
like
to
break
it
down,
so
that
our
residents
business
members
have
a
chance
to
digest.
N
You
know
each
chapter
kind
of
individually,
we'll
be
working
with
our
public
Communications
Department
to
send
out
email,
blasts,
Facebook
posts,
Instagram
Twitter,
as
well
as
our
website
that
we
have
Clearwater
2045.
We
can
do
email
blasts
through
there,
but
through
these
reviews,
we'll
take
all
the
feedback
that
we
receive
or
to
incorporate
them
into
an
overall
comprehensive
plan,
and
then
we'll
also
present
that
final
comprehensive
plan
draft
as
a
whole,
and
there
are
again
our
plans
to
do
these
email,
glass
and
in-person
meetings.
C
Yes,
so
for
the
quality
places,
how
what's
the
approach
going
to
be
for
affordable
housing?
Because
that's
a
big
issue
that.
N
It
is
a
huge
issue.
I
would
say
that
right
now
we're
going
to
definitely
work
with
our
housing
department,
Economic,
Development,
housing
I
know,
there's
a
lot
of
State
statutes,
and
it's
not
just
an
issue
here.
It's
everywhere,
so
we're
not
quite
into
the
the
weeds
just
quite
yet,
but
we're
definitely
going
to
be
working
with
our
housing
department
see
what
works
best
where
we
can
potentially
find
funds
and
things
of
that
nature.
C
Second,
question
is
in
terms
of
the
conservation
for
natural
resources.
Are.
Is
there
anything
in
the
plan?
I
know
that
you
said
that
it's
very
preliminary
right
now,
but
for
having
a
municipal
composting
or
like
a
community
garden
with,
because
that's
a
quarter
of
our
food
waste.
We're
talking
about
that
is
a
quarter
of
waste,
is
food
waste
and
so,
by
diverting
that
it
helps
to
create.
N
Not
sure
of
any
specifics,
I
know
we're
going
to
be
working
with
the
green
plant,
2.0,
okay
and
we're
going
to
definitely
be
bringing
over
policies
that
we
can
try
and
we
don't
want
to
have
too
much
redundancy,
but
definitely
we're
going
to
be
looking
at
greenprint
2.0.
And
if
we
see
something
that
relates
to
that
that
we
can
fit
into
this.
Absolutely
it
might
be
a
little
bit
higher
level
than
what's
in
green
print,
but
definitely
looking
to
reference
and
incorporate
where
we
can.
I
I
just
missed
what
you
said:
that
the
two
biggest
core
chapters
were.
N
Sure
so
future
land
use
is
a
mechanism
that
really
governs
density
and
intensity
and
general
uses
for
property.
So
we
do
have
a
future
land
use
map
in
the
city
where
we
have
to
also
be
compliant
with
the
countywide
rules,
and
so
basically,
the
future
land
use
is
your
base
level,
so
that
sets
your
density
and
intensity
for
uses,
so
how
many
units
per
acre
or
the
floor
area
ratio
so
how
many
square
feet
of
a
building
you
can
have
on
a
property,
and
that
also
sets
General
Uses.
N
E
Fit
into
I
just
want
to
clarify
that
it
doesn't
mean
that
something's
going
to
change
like
that.
You
have
something
like
it's
kind
of
deceptive.
The
way
the
term
is
like
future
land
use.
It's
not
saying
like.
Oh,
this
is
a
house
right
now
and
it's
going
to
become
an
industrial
thing
in
the
future.
Like
you
know
what
I
mean
yeah
yeah,
it's
not
like.
N
So,
as
part
of
our
future
land
use,
we
do
have
what
we
call
a
preservation
land
use.
We
can
apply
that
that's
typically
right
now
applied
over
Open.
Water
Cooper's
point
is
a
good
example
of
where
that's
at
so
any
land
that
we
would
like
to
preserve
is
going
to
be
preservation.
We
also
have
Recreation
open
space,
which
is
also
a
type
of
preservation
mechanism
that
we
do
have
granted.
N
D
N
N
For
example,
the
city
will
evaluate
its
development
code
based
on
X,
Y
and
Z
and
proposed
changes.
Our
development
code
is
over
20
years
old.
It
was
adopted
in
1999
and
we
would
definitely
look
to
either
amend
it
in
sections
or
you
know,
potentially
do
a
complete
overhaul
of
the
code,
but
this
would
definitely
be
the
first
step
in
that
in
that
process.
Thank
you.
B
Okay,
I'm
curious,
one
of
the
things
I
was
going
to
ask,
was
how
green
print
was
going
to
complement
or
correspond
with
what
you're
doing
and
it
sounds
like
there
will
be
aspects
to
it
overlap.
Absolutely,
yes,
I
was
curious
to
the
future
land
use
as
we're
going
through
this.
Are
you
guys
looking
at
opportunities
where
we
can
change?
B
Zoning,
like
you
said,
with
preservation
of
open
space
rack,
and
you
mentioned
commercials
next
to
residential,
but
in
some
places
there
could
be
zoning
that
has
never
reached
its
potential
and
over
time
it
makes
no
sense
to
now
say
this
could
be.
You
know
a
residential
dwelling
when
it's
surrounded
by
preservation
or
other
things,
I'm
just
curious
that
if
there
would
be
opportunities
to
say.
N
N
So
we
would
definitely
be
looking
to
clean
that
up
and
I
don't
see
why
we
couldn't
potentially
go
a
little
bit
farther
and
see
if
there's
any
undeveloped
lands
that
we
would
like
to
change
over
to
you
know,
preservation
or
even
a
recreation
open
space
that
would
allow
it
to
be
used
more
for
the
preservation
or
the
recreation
types
of
land
use
of
the
words
a
lot
less
intense
than
you
know,
a
residential
home
or
small
sort
of
retail.
B
Then
one
of
the
other
things
when
we
talk
about
affordable
housing
or
other
housing
options,
are
we
looking
at
like
detached
dwellings
within
or
what
is
it
called.
B
N
Successory
drilling
units
we've
definitely
had
a
lot
of
conversations
on
I
think
we
are
looking
to
do
just
some
kind
of
I
guess:
stop
Gap
amendments
here,
hopefully
soonish
but
yeah
as
part
of
this
we're
definitely
looking
into
more
of
that
I
know,
there's
Mexicans
that
we
can
do
where
that
accessory
growing
unit
would
not
account
would
not
count
against
the
density.
B
Yeah
I
think
it
works
in
a
number
of
is
where
you
have
homes
that
are
built
to
as
much
as
they
can
be
built
in
just
because
in
the
past
we've
heard
from
developers
and
real
Realtors
who
say
like
this
is
just
bombs
to
sell
them
versus.
We
don't
have.
You
know
we
need
other
mechanisms
to
say
well,
we
could
build
one
smaller
house
in
the
back
and
another
smaller
house
in
the
front
and
and
sell
that,
but
they
need
opportunity
to
even
build
that
yeah.
N
I
would
say
that
just
seeing
a
lot
of
our
lots
are
a
lot
smaller
here
in
Clearwater.
You
know
50
by
100
feet,
so
that
proves
challenges
in
and
of
itself,
even
to
do
just
one
single
family
dwelling.
So
certainly
we're
definitely
looking
to
try
and
make
it
a
little
bit
easier.
Hopefully
to
do
those
successor
dwelling
units
or
maybe
to
even
do
a
duplex
on
a
lot
where
right
now
we
might
only
be
able
to
do
just
one
single
family
sure
there's
a
lot
of
Mexicans
that
we're
looking
at
the
word.
N
B
I
guess,
along
those
same
lines,
I'm
curious
when
someone
is
going
to
let's
say
they
rebuild
a
house
and
and
they
make
it
a
two-story
house
rather
than
one
story,
but
it's
still
the
same
essential
footprint.
Does
that
change,
I
I?
Guess
because
you
know
in
terms
of
storm
water
or
other
other
things
that
like
tax
incentives
or
incentives
for
building
a
larger
house,
because
it
is
larger,
but
it's
still
the
same
essential
footprint.
Are
there
things
that
come
the
plan
covers
for
that,
or
is
that.
D
D
I've
been
this,
is
you
know,
a
detail,
but
it's
a
line
with
green
print.
I've
been
trying
to
work
on
identifying
places
for
a
community
garden
in
Clearwater
as
a
kind
of
a
pilot
rather
unsuccessful,
because
many
of
the
best
sites
available
are
in
open
space
and
Recreation
zoned
areas
and
Community
Gardens
are
not
a
permitted
use
within
that
District,
and
you
know
if
I
have
to
wait
three
years,
I
can
take
a
Hiatus.
D
D
Unless
there's
you
know,
some
other
kind
of
facility
available
City
may
have,
but
I
found
that
some
of
our
community
centers
many
of
them
are
zoned
the
open
space
Recreation
have
all
the
infrastructure,
have
the
land
but
I've
Been
Told
can't
do
it
yeah,
even
though,
even
if
we
called
it
an
educational
use,
the
legal
people
said
now.
You
can't
call
it
an
educational
use
because
we're
teaching
people
how
to
grow
food
and
nutrition
there's
a
whole
other
aspect
to
it
as
a
record
as
an
educational
use.
At
the
same.
E
Sideball,
look:
that's
like
a
quick,
a
quick
note
on
this,
so
Kyle
Kyle
talked
about
how
like
this
is
a
framework
for
the
city
right.
So
these
aren't.
These
aren't
like
our
rules.
E
These
are
what
make
the
rules,
so
it's
super
important
to
go
through
all
of
these
comp
plan
initiatives,
because
this
is
what
you
can
identify
one
of
these
and
say
this
is
a
perfect
opportunity
to
make
a
program
off
of
this
so
saying
that
you
want
to
be
able
to
put
Community
Gardens
in
open
space
Rec
like
that's,
that's
a
perfect
thing
that
could
go
into
a
comp
plan
idea:
you're,
not
you're,
not
doing
the
program.
You're
saying
this
is
an
idea
that
should
be
should
be
there
and
so
going
through.
E
All
of
these
when
they
have,
the
programs
is
super
helpful
because
you
can,
even
if
you're,
not
even
if
you
don't
have
a
suggestion
on
that
particular
comp
plan,
you
can
be
like
wow
I
didn't
realize.
That
was
in
the
plan.
Here's
a
great
idea
for
a
program
that
we
should
be
doing
that
meets
that
comp
plan
initiative
and
so
going
through.
All
of
this
like
this
is
the
the
comp
plan
is
what
builds
our
city
and
makes
it
this
awesome
place
and
I
don't
think
enough.
E
People
know
that
this
is
what
we
base
all
of
those
other
rules,
all
of
our
development.
Everything
is
based
on
this,
so
when
we
have
all
of
those
specific
little
groups
of
things,
make
sure
you
go
through
them
and
read
them
and
we
can
talk
about
them
individually
or
a
group,
or
we
can
have
you
guys
back
to
talk
about
that
stuff.
Absolutely.
B
Yeah
and
I
imagine
the
city's
going
to
promote
the
different
public
meetings.
N
Yeah,
when
we
get
those
you
know
fleshed
out,
we'll
definitely
send
email
blasts
like
I
said
whether
it's
through
the
city
as
a
whole.
Our
website,
which
is
clearwater2045.com
I,
know
some
of
our
previous
ones.
We
did
last
year
were
posted
on
Twitter
and
Facebook,
so
we'll
definitely
get
that
out
to
the
public
as
best
we.
N
N
No,
every
single
one:
okay,
yeah
we're
going
to
start
with
the
two
biggest
ones,
but
we'll
do
the
others
as
well.
Since
they're
a
little
bit
smaller.
We
might
be
able
to
combine
them
all
into
just
one
one
or
two
different
meetings,
but
what
you
will
definitely
be
presenting
each
of
these
chapters
to
the
public
perfect.
B
L
N
L
N
We
see
in
our
projections
show
an
increase
of
residence.
Obviously
we
do
have
a
lot
of
unincorporated
areas
in
the
city,
so
if
we
account
those
unincorporated
portions
of
our
service
area
with
our
Incorporated
portions
I,
believe
our
projections
out
to
20
40
are
about
145
to
146
000
people,
so
that
is
definitely
an
increase.
What.
I
B
All
right,
thank
you
very
much
Mike.
Thank
you.
Kyle.
All
right,
we'll
move
on
to
our
next
item.
4.4
discuss
our
annual
presentation
to
the
city
council,
which
will
be
November
3rd
I
guess
I
will
probably
be
given
the
presentation,
my
annual
Council.
Does
anyone
have
any
thing
that
they
want
to.
B
The
presentation
I
had
a
couple
of
items,
but
we
can
start
the
discussion
with
anything
that
anyone
would
like
to
bring
up
or
mention.
Okay,.
C
So
I
would
like
to
explore
or
I'm
not
sure
how
to
frame
this
but
Municipal
setting
up
a
municipal
composting,
because
I
feel
like
that's
an
opportunity
that
we
could
maybe
an
opportunity
to
take
foodways
and
not
out
of
the
stream,
and
then
it
could
possibly
be
an
opportunity
to
support.
Also
like
the
ocean
friendly.
We
move
that
we've
been
cities
adopted
it,
but
I
know
a
lot
of
is
have
and
possibly
to
your
point
having
that
married
with
a
kindergarten.
C
C
Could
be,
or
it
could
be,
on
a
smaller
scale
like
the
only
composting
place
in
this
area
is
Suncoast
composting
and
they're,
and
they
take
you
can
sign
up
and
they'll
come
and
pick
food
waste
up.
C
I
think
it
would
be
a
great
opportunity
for
our
city
to
have
to
start
with,
instead
of
doing
residential
start
with
companies
or
hospitals
or
schools
that
produce
a
lot
of
food
waste,
and
that
would
be
easy
to
divert
and
it
could
help
count
towards
the
green
print
by
reducing
our
greenhouse
gas
emissions
diverting
waste,
and
it
could
also
be
good
for
the
environment.
B
So
we
can
typically
at
the
presentation
we
usually
mention
things
that
we've
done
and
things
that
we
would
like
to
move
forward.
So
if
composting
is
something
that
we
want
to
move
forward
in
the
future,
that's.
B
Something
we
can,
we
can
maybe
have
someone
from
Solid
Waste
come
out
to
talk
about
opportunities
and
how
that
could
be
implemented
and
and
do
things
along
that
route
for
composting
right,
Sarah
or.
C
Okay,
because
just
finish
the
stock
and
then
I
appreciate
this
morning,
because
I
just
would
like
to
underscore
that
the
bioplastics
are
great.
You
know,
instead
of
using
single
use
plastic,
it
has
a
great
potential
to
close
the
loop
on
waste.
However,
currently
we
don't
have
any
waste
stream
for
it.
So
it's
kind
of
like
your
your
brainwashing,
it
you're
like
you're,
paying
a
little
bit
extra
for
these
bioplastic
cups
and
whatever,
and
then
it
just
goes.
C
B
No
problem
at
all,
thank
you,
Sheila
for
bringing
that
up.
I
know
in
green
print
composting
and
pursuing
a
larger
composting
gold,
certainly
bringing
that
up
as
something
that
we'd
like
to
pursue
moving
into
the
next
yourself.
So.
D
I
B
Then
city
council
is
supposed
to
vote
on
it,
so
we
don't
know
we'll
be
able
to
mention
that
we've
brought
that
that
to
city
council,
but
I'm
not
going
to
be
able
to
know
if
they've
after
we
give
them.
So
we'll
certainly
mention
in
the
presentation,
because
it
is
something
that
we've
brought
up
at
a
that's
right.
Well,
we'll.
B
E
There
should
be
I
will
clarify
that
we
want
that
voted.
I
will
clarify
that.
B
I
E
No
voting
at
work
session
I
know.
B
I
Comments
but
I
mean
I
can
do
that
now.
I
mean
that's
well.
The
sustainability
conference
is
is
a
partnership
between
the
city,
sustainability
office,
the
CNC
environmental
committee
and
the
Sierra
Club,
so
so
they're
planning
it
it's
an
energy
conference
about
on
energy
this
year.
That's
the
theme:
it's
building
better
neighborhoods,
a
sustainability
conference.
I
You
know
it
had.
This
is
our
third
one.
G
I
You
know
anything
to
do
with
it,
but
it
is
a
building.
Better
neighborhoods
is
the
theme
right
and
it
is
February
4th.
B
All
right
yeah,
but
we
don't
have
any
we're,
not
our
board
as
it
is.
It
doesn't
have
a
part
in
that.
B
I
It's
like
we've.
B
Had
presentations
on
ready
for
100
in
January,
we
had
a
presentation
on
the
sanitary
sewer,
overflows
and
lateral
infiltration
in
January.
The
green
Fleet
program
and
solar
feasibility
study
was
in
January
and
the
sustainability
quarterly
report.
We've
gotten
at
all
of
our
meetings
this
year.
B
The
only
other
things
oh
yeah,
we
had
ready
for
100,
oh
and
then
we
also
our
accomplishments.
We
had
we
sent
a
letter
on
asking
city
council
to
move
super
boat,
races
outside
of
sea
turtle,
nesting
season.
B
B
And
then
we
had
our
special
meeting
on
the
roof,
looking
at
a
magic,
Clearwater
construction
and
then
I
briefly
had
mentioned
at
one
of
our
last
meetings,
and
this
would
be
something
that
we'd
bring
up.
Pursuing
next
year
would
be.
B
Throughout
the
community
and
of
cities,
for
that,
surprisingly,
just
and
I
say
that,
just
surprisingly,
because
shy
away
anytime,
the
word
ban
is
put
out
there,
but
I
think
that
cigarette
butts
are
such
a
pervasive
issue
and
our
beaches
are
such
an
important
driver
economic
driver
for
the
entire
area.
That
I
think
enough.
People
are
sick
of
putting
their
hands
in
sand
and
pulling
up
trash
that
there
is
a
lot
of
support
for
that
and
then
the
only
other
thing
that
I'd
bring
up
and
it's
something
that
we
brought
up
in
the
past.
I.
B
B
Think
Kyle
kind
of
his
presentation,
kind
of
brushed
on
issues
that
we've
had
as
a
board
in
terms
of
pursuing
actionable
difference
or
change,
is
when
he
mentioned
only
one
of
those
items
that
had
any
that
he
thought
would
have
any
significance
to
our
board
when
I
think
all
of
those
items
have
significance
for
our
board,
and
so
what
we've
mentioned
in
the
past
is
trying
to
realign
our
board
strategically
so
that
we
get
presentations
that
are
outside
of
just
what
specific
departments
think
our
board
should
be
here
and
so
I
think
I
know
like
I
said
last
year,
I
gave
that
presentation
and
it
asked
for
trying
to
make
the
change
I,
think
that
can
only
actually
happen
by
the
city
manager,
making
that
change
and
the
city
manager
was
new
last
year
and
so
I'm
hopeful
that
we'll
bring
it
up
again.
B
He's
made
a
lot
of
strides,
he's
changed
a
lot
of
departments
and
reorganized
a
lot
in
the
last
year
that
he's
been
here
and
so
I
would
like
to
bring
that
up
again
to
the
city
manager
at
that
time
and
see
if
we
can
either
get
any
movement
that
in
that
meeting
or
moving
forward.
Are
you
talking
about
the.
I
Yeah
sustainability,
Department.
B
Yeah
all
that
kind
of
where
that
stuff
all
kind
of
Falls
because,
like
like
I
said
like
and
not
to
it,
just
I
think
it's
just
the
where
we've
been
for
so
long
in
terms
of
org
chart
different
departments,
don't
really
consider.
Oh,
this
is
something
of
an
environmental
aspect
until
it's
way
too
down
the
line,
and
we
say
why
didn't
we
get
a
presentation
on
this?
J
B
We
did
and
we
did
meet,
we
did
have
our
special
meeting
for
Imagine
Clearwater.
We
were
supposed
to
have
one
other
field
trip
meeting
this
year
which
we
were
unable
to
have,
but
we
were
also.
We
also
had
to
cancel
a
meeting
and
change
it
to
another
time
which
I
would
say.
I
The
meeting
so
you're
talking
about
this
meeting
well.
D
Yeah
yeah,
you
know
I've
heard
I,
don't
know,
I
actually
had
met
with
mayor
I
was
over
a
year
ago,
because
there
was
discussion
by
the
city
council
on
a
concern
Conservancy
being
established
for
Imagined
Clearwater
Park,
and
you
know
whether
or
not
you
know
this
Advisory
Board
should
have
you
know
Voice
or
a
part
of
that
particular
Conservancy.
D
If
there
is
one
going
to
be
established,
I'm
not
sure
where
that
is
at
this
point
in
time,
yeah
I
had
because
you
know
it
is
we're
spending
80
million
dollars
on
a
park,
and
there
will
be
environmental
issues.
We'll
talk
about
one
related
one
at
the
last
item
on
the
agenda,
but
I
think
there's
a
lot
more,
as
well
as
the
benefits
of
programs
that
get
held
for
the
community
there.
And
you
know
what
role
we
might
have.
B
E
B
I
G
D
But
we
talked
about
one
of
them
being
a
somewhere
in
the
field
trip.
You
know.
I
know
you
know
Cooper's
point
we
heard
about
it.
We
did
the
presentation,
I
think
a
revisit
there,
because
we
have
new
members.
That
would
be
a
great
because
there's
a
lot
more
going
on
there,
water
quality,
wise.
The
connection
you
know
from
the
Bayshore
Drive,
you
know
with
the
flyover
to
you
know,
there's
a
bunch
of
stuff.
I
I
I
You
know
that
kind
of
thing.
We
can't
do
that
except
in
meeting,
so
that
was
there
were,
you
know,
glitches
like
or
that
more
often
we
would
you
know
we
would
be
able
to
stay
up
to
date.
On
you
know,
who's
been
room,
a
program
that
we
want
to
initiate,
particularly
in
larger
programs,
do
something
like
that
which
is
required.
Visits
with.
B
I
I'm
not
even
respectfully,
disagree
we
put
together
green
print,
which
is
a
much
larger
policy
than
just
ready
for
100,
without
having
additional
meeting
and
you're
able
to
bring
back.
That,
like
I,
said,
is
a
much
larger
scope
of
a
a
policy
or
a
decision.
Then
the
ready
for
100,
which
just
focuses
on
energy
I'd,
say
if
we
had
issues
of
extreme
importance
that
we
need
to
have
more
meetings,
because
we
have
projects
that
are
waiting
for
our
input,
but
because
of
again
the
way
we're
structured.
B
We
don't
really
get
so
I
feel
like
the
most
important
aspect
is
structurally:
where
we
fall,
we
can
meet
more
often,
but
I
think
that's
kind
of
putting
the
cart
before
the
horse
until
we're
in
a
position
where
we
have
the
need
to
meet
monthly
or
every
other
month
to
give
our
input
on,
like
I,
said
like
projects
of
importance
or
other
other
issues
of
of
importance.
B
I
C
To
your
point,
I
I
reached
out
to
mayor
hippard
and
then
also
a
council,
member,
Albritton
and
I
was
able
to
talk
before
about
the
ready
for
100,
okay
and
both
of
them
were
totally
booked
up.
But
I
was
able
to
get
like
a
quick
five
minutes.
Conversation
with
council
member
Albritton
mayor
Hubbard
was
too
busy
at
that
time
because
they
need
at
least
two
weeks
in
advance
to
get
on
their
schedule.
C
B
E
May
I
just
make
a
quick
suggestion.
Yes,
can
we
just
skip
ahead
to
maybe
John's
seagrass
stuff,
and
maybe
that's
something
that
we
can
include
on
the
annual
report
like
something
that
yeah?
B
Yeah
that
sounds
good,
yeah,
yeah
sure
all
right,
we'll
move
on
to
our
old
business
items,
then
I'll
review
the
information
from
the
Florida
Department
of
Environmental
Protection
about
seagrass
and
Clearwater
Harbor.
Thanks
for
putting
your
work
in
on
this
job,
yeah.
D
Well,
I
followed
up
with
Dr
Anastasia
because
they
had
indicated
that
they
would
have
the
seagrass
data
mapping
available
at
the
end
of
the
summer.
Early
fall
very
good
good
timing.
Well,
here's
his
response
in
response
to
Hurricane
Ian.
We
are
actively
collecting
water
quality
and
other
data
to
assess
environmental
impacts
in
the
Sarasota
Bay
to
Charlotte
Harbor
area.
It's
delayed
our
seagrass
Maps
a
few
weeks,
but
I
anticipate.
We
will
have
the
2022
results
finalized
by
the
end
of
November
I'll,
be
happy
to
share
the
results
with
you
when
they
are
released.
D
D
We
are
going
to
attract
boats
to
the
Waterfront
when
you
have
the
name
performance
performers
coming
there,
and
you
know
it's
pretty
easy
to
anticipate
what
the
impacts
are
and
that's
what
the
letter
just
tries
to
succinctly
State
and
that
I
had
tried
to
because
I've
done
other
restrictions
at
nuclear
power
plants
in
Massachusetts
over
the
years
for
navigation,
and
you
get
the
Coast
Guard
involved
and
there's
other
permitting
that's
involved
to
put
navigation
restrictions
in
place
and
I
could
never
get
a
response.
D
I
got
bounced
around
ping-ponged
by
the
Coast
Guard
started
with
clear
little
guys
on
Clearwater
Beach.
They
sent
me
to
Saint
Pete.
They
sent
me
to
Tampa
and
no
one
ever
called
me
back
so
I
think
it
requires
somebody
like
Sarah
who
works
for
the
city
of
Clearwater,
not
somebody
from
the
environmental
Advisory
Board
to
make
something
happen
with
with
them.
But
it's
it's
a
process
and
I
think
the
data
that
will
be
available
shortly
will
support
this,
but
I,
don't
think
we're
all
up.
D
D
B
Yeah
in
the
in
the
letter,
they
note
that
the
totals
have
remained
relatively
consistent
since
2008,
although
there
is
a
slight
decline
right
and
and
look-
and
it
is
a
slight
decline,
did
they
note?
Why
is
it
just
because
I
I
I
I
I,
don't
think
that
this
is
just
this
isn't
from
Maureen?
This
is
just
a
natural
decline
from
other
environments.
D
E
D
B
Yeah
I'm
curious
to
see
what
those
2022
numbers
are
if
it's
more
decline
or
if
it
stayed
around
the
same
or
somehow
increase
but
yeah
I
I,
agree.
I.
Do
think
that
if
this
does
show
that
there
is
a
degradation
of
the
seagrass
for
whatever
reason
and
imagine
a
lot
of
boats,
Mooring
and
seagrass
isn't
going
to
help
grass
grow
yeah
we
could
pursue
moving
this
forward.
I
would
be.
C
So
the
coast
from
appalachicola
down
to
Thousand
Island,
it's
it's
called
the
Gulf
Coast
of
a
hope
spot.
It's
a
protected
area
because
of
sea
grass
and
degradation
and
manatees
and
I
wonder
if
there's
any
way
to
use
that
to
make
get
more
teeth
on
this
to
encourage
I.
B
C
B
A
greater
importance,
I
I,
have
seen
I
was
surprised
to
see
manatees
out
by
Caladesi
Island
and
over
I've
seen
them
coming
down
the.
B
F
B
I
don't
know
if
anyone
else
saw
anything
fit
to
change
in
the
letter,
but
you
know
like
I,
said
other
than
possibly
adding.
You
know
the
importance
of
you
know.
You
know.
C
B
D
D
I
guess
I'll
make
a
motion
to
send
this
draft
letter
or
put
it
in
a
final
form
and
have
our
chair
sign
it
and
send
it
off
to
the
city
council.
All.
B
I
G
I
B
B
Right,
great,
no
I
I
think
that's
great
I.
B
B
Yeah
yeah,
but
it
sounds
like
we
have
a
pretty
good
framework
for
what
we
want
to
bring
up
to
city
council.
I
can
write
something
up
and
send
it
to
Sarah.
She
can
disseminate
it
to
the
board.
If
you
guys
like
it,
that's
fine.
If
you
have
suggestions
or
edits,
please
share
them.
Sarah
will.
E
E
So
it
sounds
like
we
have
a
lot
of
things
for
the
next
meeting.
So
if
there's
something
else,
you
guys
want
to
add
feel
free
to
email
me
I
just
want
to
mention
and
if
I
find
out
more
information.
I
will
email
it
out
to
you.
But
there's
a
program
called
my
safe
Florida
home
and
the
website
is
my.
E
F-L-O-R-D-I-A-Cfo.Com
slash
my
safe
Florida
home
and
it
is
not
yet
published
program
yet
they're
just
talking
about
it,
but
this
will
be
an
opportunity
for
homeowners
of
a
single
family
residence
that
their
home
is
insured
for
less
than
five
hundred
thousand
dollars,
so
not
just
low
income,
but
if
they
want
to
make
their
home
more
hurricane
safe
if
they
want
to
add
shutters,
redo,
a
roof
add
straps
to
a
roof
if
they
want
to
put
in
hurricane
windows.
E
This
is
a
one
to
two
grant
program,
so
a
homeowner
will
put
in
a
thousand
dollars
and
the
state
will
match
it
with
two
thousand
dollars
so
and
it's
up
to
the
state
of
ten
thousand
dollars.
So
you
would
have
you
could
put
in
five
thousand
and
the
state
would
put
in
ten
thousand
for
a
project.
So
I
don't
know
when
the
details
of
the
program
will
be
released.
I've
heard
it
will
be
another
month,
but
given
some
of
the
challenges
to
the
south
of
us,
I
have
a
feeling.
E
This
will
probably
be
a
pretty
well-funded
program,
but
hopefully
some
of
our
residents
can
take
advantage
of
that.
So.
E
Home
hardening,
it's
it's
home,
hardening,
so
Windows
roof
stores
you
can
use
garage
doors
even
were
included
in
it.
So
yeah.
It's
looking
for
that
sort.
E
B
Thank
you
and
then
we'll
go
on
to
item
seven
board
members
to
be
heard:
Sheila,
compost,
yeah.
B
C
I
Much
very
much
Glenna
yeah
I
just
wanted
to
reiterate
what
you
said
that
the
IRA
presentation
is
going
to
be
tomorrow
night.
So
you
know
you
might
want
to
listen
in
for
what
what
money
are
going
to
be
available
for
municipal
solar
energy
efficiencies
and
for
residences
and
and
for
and
for
non-profits,
and
then
also
I
was
going
to
mention,
which
is
kind
of
coming
up,
but
building
better
neighborhoods
sustainability
conference,
which
is
titled
buying
solar
and
electric
vehicles
Dash.
I
What
you
need
to
know
planning
it
since
summer
time
we
now
have
it
for
Saturday
February
4th
from
9
30
to
12
30
at
the
Morningside
Rec
Center,
and
we
are
looking
for
citizen
panels
for
I
think
probably
have
ideas
for
who
we're
starting
to
invite
people
and
ask
people
who
have
solar
and
can
speak
to
their
experience.
Of
that.
We
have
one
panel
for
that
that
folks,
who
have
electric
vehicles
and
what
their
experiences
have
been
with
American
answer
questions
of
the
audience.
D
For
me
all
right,
thank
you.
John
I'd,
I'd
like
to
try
to
identify
a
site,
visit
and
I.
Think
there's
a
lot
to
to
see
out
at
Cooper's
point
from
The
Preserve
perspective.
D
I
know
the
project
that
Sarah's
been
working
on
for
quite
some
time
on
improving
the
tidal
flushing
out
there,
and
then
we
have
the
bicycle
overpass
on
Route
60,
that's
out
there
as
well
and
all
of
what's
happening,
I
think
it's
it's
a
gateway
to
Clearwater
for
sure,
but
it
it's
certainly
a
place
that
has
a
lot
of
opportunities
for
the
city.
D
B
Okay,
yeah
to
your
point
of
field
trips,
I
think
moccasin
lake
is
one
that
we've
mentioned
in
the
past.
We
wanted
to
talk
to
somebody
about
herbicides.
The
city
uses
and
I
thought.
Moccasin
Lake
was
one
we
wanted
to
try
and
then
also
Lake
Bellevue,
because
we
had
the
community
there
who
came
in
and
we
supported
them
without
water
management.
B
All
right
anything
else,
John
for
myself,
I
I'm
gonna,
just
bring
up
just
briefly
ready
for
100.
That's
going
to
be
our
next
big
thing:
we're
going
to
have
a
presentation,
November
3rd
before
city
council
I
just
wanted
to
impart
that
it
is
a
tangible
goal.
B
I've
been
reading
more
stories
in
the
last
couple
weeks
about
different
countries
that
have
attained
or
signed
on
for
net
zero
emissions,
including
Australia
and
Singapore
Greece,
had
previously
signed
on
for
Net
Zero
and
apparently
had
accomplished
that
feat
for
four
or
five
hours
last
week.
B
B
It
was
it
was
built
recently
but
with
resilient
goals
in
mind,
and
they
were
in
the
path
of
the
hurricane
and
did
not
lose
power
the
entire
time
they
had
solar
facilities
there.
They
also
have
Lakes
throughout
the
community
that
are
built
to
withstand
storm
surge
and
rise
sea
level
rise.
So
it
apparently
worked
there.
So
a
lot
of
the
strategies
that
we're
looking
at
and
trying
to
implement
they
can
be
achieved.
B
Babcock
Ranch
Sarah
sent
out
links
to
all
of
the
stories
that
I've
been
looked,
but
other
than
that.
Thank
you
all
for
attending.
Thank
you
for
watching
well
and
now.
