Mike McDonald, marine and aviation director, said city staff and airport tenant FlyUSA selected AID to design the new terminal through a competitive process. Chip Hayward, AID vice president of architecture, and Kyle Holly, AID engineer of record, described a two-story terminal concept centered on a large glass lobby with a suspended scaled aircraft display, pilot lounge, flight-training offices, a community meeting room that overlooks the lobby and an FBO (fixed-base operator) operations area.

Hayward showed renderings illustrating a glazed central lobby (roof height roughly 40 feet), glulam beams, a fabric canopy at the public drop-off, a trellis/event court adjacent to the roundabout and a new parking layout with event space. Interior finishes under consideration include insulated glass, standing-seam metal roofing, wood tones, stainless-steel cable railings and illuminated graphic features in restrooms and lobby areas. The architect said the suspended plane will be a scaled exhibit rather than a full-size aircraft.

Kyle Holly explained that terminal site work ties to an upcoming grant-funded taxiway project; stormwater improvements must be coordinated so the two projects’ paving and drainage are not in conflict. Holly said the public-bid package will be structured with additive alternates for the taxiway work so the city can award the maximum number of alternates offered if favorable bids arrive.

On schedule, staff said design documents are expected to be issued for bid in mid-to-late May; the bidding window will run about 60 days with approximately 30 days for review, and construction is anticipated to start in late August or early September. The team estimated a construction duration of roughly 18 months, subject to bid results and final phasing.

Council members and staff praised the design and asked about operational details including the degree of airport functionality the site generator will support during outages. Mike McDonald said the FDOT grant item under consideration would fund a generator to support critical airport operations (fueling and selected systems) during extended outages; final scope for runway lighting or additional systems will be determined during generator design.

Ending

Designers described the terminal as a gateway project that seeks to reflect city character and provide public meeting space, pilot services, flight training offices and room for future development at the drop-off/trellis area. Staff said they would return with a finalized bid package, and noted coordination of stormwater and taxiway work is essential to the project schedule.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Clearwater - DDB / Pension Trustees / Council Work Session - 4/14/25","oneSentenceSummary","City staff and a design team presented concept designs for a new general aviation terminal at Clearwater Airpark and outlined a procurement schedule that anticipates issuing bid documents in May and beginning construction in late August or September 2025.","taxTitle","Clearwater, Pinellas County, Florida","taxId",4656,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6272001,"Council holds informational downtown strategy discussion; members urge public timelines and tenant-focused outcomes for Church-led renovations",460,5990000,6450000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3028324-915049ad6c95fd483b076e49ae6936b3&start=5990&end=6450","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3028324-915049ad6c95fd483b076e49ae6936b3/thumbnail_5990000.jpg","/articles/6272001/Clearwater/Pinellas-County/Florida/Council-holds-informational-downtown-strategy-discussion-members-urge-public-timelines-and-tenant-focused-outcomes-for-Church-led-renovations","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6272001-046c10c58828d1c0ba9323ba4f1d64c0/orig.mp4?Expires=1771192373&Signature=I4TicpgNs23AYf4LNIlk~1M7Tipppj5GpGalYNtqysMcmLqelTyxmSrvO6e78Fpa1W3enXAtFtfZ~ZFH0NxkUq79yGFxOt9jJqlRjQvAvXS1yQkADSBl25y93jbITezsyavO4XMi-O3mpZMQBfzilK9aCwN-ToO24pXhtXM7drDIN~k6N0n0Hre8FvC70RgykNQ9RGXB-ifL8bx~jsdSrqKDORASXZBU~sqEpJrki3DxjsoM~USgH68I2tO7-BfPHfXRWXwC-dHg0htWl2ooHGOiZVpwYdnwPmp11WfZzYjv0VT-P1QIv-Soou~OsuHJwq-xLz~NXqlCpuXaCoDc-g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Council members on April 14 held an informational discussion about downtown strategy and recent activity, telling staff and private property owners they want clearer public timelines and evidence that renovated buildings will host businesses and services that are open and inviting to the public.

Council Member Menino opened the session noting the discussion was for information only and not a request for action. Staff and CRA leaders summarized several development and activation items: the Gateway affordable-housing co-development, an RFP process for a library redevelopment site (submissions due June 20), a developer-proposed project by MacDixon (staff has scheduled follow-up meetings), and private restoration work underway on historic downtown properties.

Several council members expressed appreciation for increased activation—Ruth Eckerd Hall's expanded programming at Coachmen Park, recent festivals and markets, and weekend crowds—but also urged private developers and property owners who are renovating downtown structures to provide specific, public-facing plans for first-floor uses. Multiple members said they have heard community concern that renovated buildings must host public-friendly retail, restaurants or other attractions rather than remain closed or institutional.

Council members and staff also discussed downtown vacant and ready-to-occupy storefronts on the 400 block of Cleveland Street and asked staff to report permit statuses and outreach efforts for immediate leasing opportunities. Lauren Matzke (Planning and Development) said the downtown zoning district requires active ground-floor uses at key corners and that several properties predate the 2018 zoning rules; she agreed to provide a list of active permits on Cleveland Street.

Staff reiterated the need for proactive communications with merchants and residents to explain upcoming construction (City Hall parcel, Gateway project, Coachmen Park/parking changes) and highlighted the CRA's efforts to activate Cleveland Street with markets, chalk walk and micro pop-ups.

The council also asked the Church of Scientology to provide a public update or a short video describing its plans and timelines for renovated downtown properties; staff said they had relayed that request and that the church had indicated plans to provide materials but had not yet supplied a timeline. The session produced no votes—council members said they would continue the public dialogue and expect more detailed information at future meetings.

Council members said they welcomed private investment and praised staff for increased activation work, but pressed for clearer public timelines and tenant-focused commitments from property owners and developers to ensure renovated downtown buildings deliver activity on the street level.","Council members on April 14 held an informational discussion about downtown strategy, urging clearer public timelines from private developers for downtown restorations and emphasizing that renovated buildings should produce active, public-facing ground-floor uses.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6272006,"Clearwater council approves multiple consent items including land-sale extension for Habitat, housing loan term change and equipment purchases",286,4151000,4437000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3028324-915049ad6c95fd483b076e49ae6936b3&start=4151&end=4437","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3028324-915049ad6c95fd483b076e49ae6936b3/thumbnail_4151000.jpg","/articles/6272006/Clearwater/Pinellas-County/Florida/Clearwater-council-approves-multiple-consent-items-including-land-sale-extension-for-Habitat-housing-loan-term-change-and-equipment-purchases","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6272006-1951c66fb101ffe7da41d517244f5662/orig.mp4?Expires=1771192373&Signature=FlNe6D0wro6QvvQNLogg8Ly6DDcLQ6iGGD06kps8gG03cn5MPPTsAV1~yMdz5f6w2HDIlB0kkIDqn6W2TKb-ywTBA0oyjiMDy877U3KlQY4iMDaQTZIRj8lQjRuUdaU~~ByK7MhEkJUutKP4zUTK~Vb2mCNmMe0IRbwZrDVyoEIOpWbmDe-hzqs6QkpbqgnambqP3xvE7eUEaLQLDpQ4yJqXWTkPU2OwB8ek9Egokl6QF3ZJbnqjrXdp56F5Y~QcQOuWEdsDwZnEBKPRqHOG6irwsCuPc56ZI6zq-ViMc2FJQtm9nA~KgihK-erWdVRKG2mDX4DEWM~rJPDrtdZkqA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At its April 14 work session the Clearwater City Council approved a series of consent and action items covering housing projects, equipment purchases and operating contracts.

Key decisions included:

- Extending the third amendment to the contract for sale of city-owned vacant land at 1454 MLK to allow the co-developers (Habitat for Humanity and Tampa Bay Neighborhood Housing Services) more time to finalize funding and permits. Staff recommended extending the closing date to on or before July 31, 2025; council approved the extension by consent.

- Amending the city's deferred loan to Sunrise Affordable Housing (SAH Holdings LP) for the Indigo apartment acquisition: staff explained HUD requires a 40-year term that begins at construction-to-permanent conversion, so the city approved a 43-year loan term to align with the HUD timing and account for the construction period. No other loan terms were changed; council approved the amendment by consent.

- Approving an annual general permit for Clearwater Gas to install and maintain service lines and small main extensions in Pinellas County ($4,000); staff said the permit streamlines 48-hour notices and does not require separate permitting for each minor action.

- Authorizing purchase orders and equipment for public safety and public works: the council approved a purchase order to Orlando Freightliner for a Freightliner 114SD roll-off truck to replace a vehicle lost during Hurricane Helene; members asked staff to check insurance and FEMA reimbursement options. The council also approved increase to purchase orders and maintenance contracts, including an expanded generator maintenance program (citywide stationary and portable units) and a contract increase for EnviroWaste Services Group (wastewater pumping and tankering) that was raised to a remainder-of-term total of $210,000.

- Selecting outside bond counsel: the council approved a recommendation to consolidate bond-counsel and disclosure-counsel services with the firm that previously served as bond counsel (Brian, Miller & Olive as presented), citing minor cost and time savings and advice from financial advisors.

- Confirming the mayor's appointment of Kathleen Agnew to the Clearwater Housing Authority Board (term to Sept. 30, 2028).

Staff noted the city is coordinating communications with downtown stakeholders about several impending construction projects (City Hall area, Gateway affordable-housing project on Cleveland Street, and private redevelopment) and reiterated that marketing and merchant outreach will be part of project management plans.

Board members and staff said the initiatives aim to animate the 400–500 blocks of Cleveland Street, support small and emerging event organizers, and create repeatable, family-friendly activations that funnel visitors to brick-and-mortar businesses.

The board approved staff’s recommendation to award $30,000 to Clearwater Rotary Charities Inc. for the Taste of Clearwater, a free event planned for May 31 at Coachmen Park with an estimated attendance of 5,000–7,000 and a total event budget of $55,920. Vicky Shire, CRE division manager, told the board the applicant met the DDB high-impact grant criteria (attendance over 2,000, two-plus years of experience, free and open to the public) and that the applicant’s contribution met the 20% minimum. Staff recommended funding eligible costs and city fees up to $30,000; board members voiced support and the motion passed unanimously.

The board also authorized a $50,000 pilot micro pop-up grant program to support smaller, recurring events on the 400 blocks of Cleveland Street. Under the pilot, applicants may request up to $5,000 once per month; the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) executive director or designee was granted authority to approve awards administratively to streamline approvals. Vicky Shire said the DDB will also cover approved road-mitigation costs and that the program is intended to provide consistent activation and reduce barriers for emerging organizers. The board unanimously approved the pilot and the delegated approval authority.

Anne Lopez, CRA assistant director, presented a $15,000 allocation for a grad chalk walk on the 400–500 blocks of Cleveland Street. The installation will feature 14 six-by-six-foot chalk art pieces—12 dedicated to Pinellas County high schools and two celebration pieces—installed the weekend before graduation to create photo-ready opportunities for graduates and families. Lopez said a call for artists runs through April 25; staff will notify selected artists by May 5. The board approved the item unanimously.

Lopez then presented a request for up to $50,000 to support a six-week Friday-night market series led by St. Petersburg College running July 11–Aug. 15 (with two rain dates). The college will lead planning, marketing and vendor coordination; the DDB would also cover city fees (police, traffic, sanitation) that may total up to an additional ~$40,000 depending on layout. College and market representatives said the series will include up to 30 local vendors per night, live music and student entrepreneurs and that vendors will not duplicate existing Cleveland Street brick-and-mortar restaurants. The board approved the funding request and authorized the CRA executive director or designee to disperse city-fee funds as needed without further board approval.

Board members repeatedly asked staff and event organizers to prioritize use of local performers and students when feasible, to manage entertainment and marketing budgets prudently as events mature, and to coordinate proactively with downtown merchants. Staff emphasized that the pilot micro pop-up program is intended to build a roster of small, regular activations and that the CRA will take a lead role in merchant outreach and communications.

Jay Ravens, finance director, introduced an annual review of the pension plan's investment performance for the calendar and plan year ended Dec. 31, 2024, reporting a total-plan gain of approximately 10.27% for 2024 and noting the plan outperformed its benchmark. After trustees accepted the investment report, Ravens introduced Pete Strong of Gabriel, Roeder, Smith & Company, who recommended changing the actuarial funding method.

Pete Strong said the plan's long-standing entry-age normal method separates normal cost from an unfunded liability payment; because the plan is currently above 100% funded, the entry-age normal approach requires payment of the full normal cost without a negative-amortization credit for surplus. Under the aggregate funding method no separate unfunded liability payment exists and the overall normal cost takes the surplus into account, which can reduce near-term employer contribution requirements. Strong also presented stress-test projections showing that aggregate contributions would be lower while the plan would approach—but in some stress scenarios might not immediately return to 100% funded as quickly as under entry-age normal; trustees discussed both the contribution savings and the longer runway to return to 100% in downside scenarios.

After discussion, the trustees moved and seconded a motion to change the funding method for the actuarial valuation dated Jan. 1, 2025, from entry-age normal to aggregate; the trustees voted to approve the recommendation.

Trustees also discussed recent operational changes to disability-pension procedures. Staff noted that, as negotiated in recent collective-bargaining agreements and codified in City ordinance 98-13-25, the administrative process for new disability applications has changed but the underlying legal standards and benefits remain the same. Historically the Pension Advisory Committee (PAC) had processed disability applications; staff said that growing application volume and increasingly complex medical issues made the PAC process difficult to manage.

Staff recommended preserving the practice of using the pension fund's outside counsel to arrange independent medical examinations (IMEs) for applicants rather than having trustees select medical examiners case by case. Trustees said maintaining the independent, third-party process protected both applicants and the fund from perceived conflicts and would avoid scheduling and expertise issues. The board voted to designate the pension fund legal counsel to select and arrange physician IMEs under the new ordinance.

Ending

Trustees asked staff to circulate the actuarial projection slides and to provide follow-up cost-projection tables showing multi-year contribution scenarios under both funding methods. Staff said they would return with additional materials and that existing applications filed under the prior process would be handled under the previously applicable rules.
","The City of Clearwater pension trustees voted April 14 to change the plan's actuarial funding method from entry-age normal to the aggregate method for the 2025 valuation and to designate the pension fund's legal counsel to select and arrange independent medical examinations for disability applications under the recently adopted ordinance.","actionData","errors"]
