June 10, 2015 will likely change within the month as the Department of Transportation has not yet finalized the numbers; whereupon, he stated that the budget will be brought before the Board in July for final approval In response to query by Mayor Bradbury regarding the fund balance, or reserves, Mr Crawford indicated that the fund balance has dropped to about 10 percent, mostly due to actions taken during the recession, and suggested that the reserves should be replenished Discussion ensued wherein Commissioner Morroni commented that the County uses a 15 percent base; whereupon, Chairman Kennedy pointed out that the funding reserves helped the PPC to continue to operate during the recession when the tax revenues were down In response to an observation by Commission Seel that the Contractual Support Services line item is much higher, MPO Interim Executive Director Sarah Ward indicated that $560,000 is dedicated to contractual support services, and includes recurring contracts such as the Crash Data Management System and the $80,000 provided to the PSTA She reported that the budget for next year includes funds received from the Department of Transportation (DOT) Surface Transportation Program, which will be brought forward to the MPO Board next month as an amendment to the Unified Planning Work Program, and discussed how those funds will be used She pointed out that the $830,000 in reserves for the MPO does not take into account the outstanding obligation to Pinellas County for the September to December personnel costs of $300,000, which the County covered until the agreement was in place with the PPC; whereupon, she indicated that more details regarding the MPO line items will be provided in July Thereupon, Chairman Kennedy indicated that even though the budget represents a unified MPO/PPC Board, the MPO is a federally established entity, the PPC is a state-established entity, and each entity continues to exist with their own separate, independently audited books; that the MPO is not required to submit a budget to the BCC; and that the PPC will submit a combined budget to the County Commission, showing some tax savings for the citizens; whereupon, he confirmed that the 0160 millage rate is the same as last year C Verbal Reports There will be no Map Amendments in July; the budget will be the only public hearing item The August meeting has been cancelled A presentation regarding economic development potential in the Mixed Use category will be on the July agenda Downloading issues have been resolved, smaller documents seem to work better 5

July 8, 2015 * * * * Commissioner Seel entered the meeting at 2:59 PM * * * * Referring to the presentation, Professor Trent Green, Architecture and Urban Design, University of South Florida, discussed infill types of mixed-use development, and noted that, for decades, development in Pinellas County has separated residential from commercial, but neighborhood scale mixed-use has great potential to reduce car travel, promote walkability, encourage small business ownership, and maximize existing infrastructure He related that there are two types of mixed-use development, horizontal and vertical; that vertical mixed-use is what is recommended for Pinellas County; that it is consistent with both the Countywide Plan and Pinellas By Design; and that, in Florida and around the country, mixed-use development has helped to stabilize neighborhoods Mr Blanton noted that Pinellas County does not have an abundance of mixed-use development in general, and virtually none at PSTA transfer locations; that there is a great opportunity to add small-scale neighborhood commercial services at these locations; and that options are currently being discussed with the PSTA He related that market support for mixed-use development is lacking; and that educating and talking with the development community and lenders would help improve their support for such projects Regarding the need for technical assistance provided by the PPC, Mr Blanton stated that the PPC can take the lead in helping to guide local governments and provide the right information to enable their active support of mixed-use development; that some examples of coordinating transportation dollars to support mixed-use development include adopting a complete streets policy and allocating dollars for project design and infrastructure; and that Pinellas County has the potential of being the most accessible county in Florida, which would enhance its economic vitality and livability Concluding the presentation, Commissioner Kennedy related that she has had success as a small business owner in a mixed-use building; and that mixed-use development will attract people to communities where one can live, work, and play; whereupon, responding to query by Chairman Kennedy, she introduced several members of the audience representing municipalities and the local development community who are in support of mixed-use development in Pinellas County 4

July 8, 2015 Discussion ensued, and Mayor Bradbury stated that Pinellas Park has been utilizing mixed-use in its Community Redevelopment Area She indicated that she supports low-rise development, but a balance must be maintained between increasing density and maintaining a high quality of life, noting that the county is already the most densely populated in Florida Commissioner Merz concurred, and stated that the key to success is to involve the community as early as possible; whereupon, Chairman Kennedy noted that the intent is for the PPC to provide tools and information to the local municipalities, but not to enforce or impose anything upon them Mayor Bujalski related that offering incentives to developers has been successful in encouraging mixed-use development in Dunedin; and that free or reduced-cost technical assistance from the County would be of great value to the local municipalities Referring to the risk factor as a critical barrier to mixed-use development, Mr Blanton stated that reducing up-front costs and time could be ways the County could minimize risk for the developers, and discussion ensued Thereupon, the Chairman thanked Commissioner Kennedy, Mr Crawford, and Professor Green for their presentation B Countywide Plan Update Status Report Ms Fisher reported that the draft Countywide Plan documents have been updated with additional minor corrections to Article IV and Appendix A She indicated that certain language in Article IV was initially thought to be unused and was therefore deleted, but has been restored as the City of Largo continues to rely on its wording; and that Appendix A has been updated to include two existing Developments of Regional Impact and additional nomenclature used by the City of St Petersburg Responding to query by Mayor Bradbury, Ms Fisher clarified that the list recognizes the existing activity centers on the Countywide Plan Map and does not change their administration, and Mr Crawford concurred Mr Blanton indicated that staff continues to identify opportunities to expedite the development process, and additional language will be presented at the July 21 public hearing; and that staff will continue to evaluate the new provisions and make recommendations for any proposed tweaks 18 months after adoption of Plan Commissioner Merz requested that the members be notified of any last-minute changes prior to July 21, and discussion ensued 5

July 8, 2015 Chairman Kennedy indicated that the PPC recommendation will go to the County Commission with the requested adjustments in place, and the Commissioners can make modifications as they see fit; and following further discussion, he thanked Commissioner Merz for sharing his concerns * * * * Commissioner Seel left the meeting at 4:02 PM * * * * C Renewal of Audit Services Mr Blanton related that the PPC has received audit services in the past from CliftonLarsonAllen LLP; that staff is confident in the firm s abilities; that the current service contract is up for renewal at a cost of $14,000 for the Fiscal Year 2015 audit; and that staff is asking for approval of that renewal Mr Blanton noted that the MPO and PPC currently utilize separate auditing firms, but he would like to have one firm handle the unified agency in the coming years; whereupon, Chairman Kennedy clarified that the organizations will continue to report their finances separately, and Mr Blanton concurred Commissioner Morroni moved, seconded by Councilmember Hock-DiPolito and carried, that the renewal agreement with CliftonLarsonAllen LLP be approved (Vote 11 0) EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ITEMS A Annual Budget and Millage Rate for Fiscal Year 2016 Final Draft Mr Crawford presented the final draft of the Annual Budget and Millage Rate for Fiscal Year 2016, noting that the agenda package contains a proposed resolution approving the budget for transmittal to the BCC for consideration in July and September; that line-item expenditures and income are included in the budget book provided; and that a comparison of the MPO and PPC budgets is provided for informational purposes only He noted that an increase in tax values will result in an additional $965,000 in revenue; that expenditures have been reduced by $40,000; and 6

July 8, 2015 that the unification of the MPO and PPC is reflected in several of the budget categories including rent, intergovernmental services, salaries, and benefits Referring to the millage rate, Mr Crawford related that it will remain at 00160 for at least one more year; that, when revenues fall short of expenditures, the fund balance is used to cover any shortfall, which in previous years has been as much as $300,000; and that this year s budget will only require $29,000 from the fund balance Mr Blanton stated that the proposed budget will accommodate some of the new initiatives of the unified organization, including contractual support services, reference and education, and reducing the reliance on outside consultants where it makes sense; whereupon, Chairman Kennedy noted that while the millage rate remains the same, property values are rising which provides additional tax revenue; and that reducing what is needed from the fund balance is the first step in achieving stability Thereupon, Deputy Mayor Piccarreto moved, seconded by Mayor Bradbury and carried, that Resolution No 15-3 with Exhibit A be adopted approving the Annual Budget and Millage Rate for Fiscal Year 2016 and authorizing its transmittal to the BCC (Vote 11 0) B Annual and Five-Year Work Program Fiscal Years 2016-2020 Final Draft Mr Blanton summarized the Five-Year Work Program and stated that key tasks relate to implementation of the updated Countywide Plan, providing technical assistance for local municipalities, and laying the foundation for an 18-month evaluation of the Plan once it is adopted Thereupon, Mayor Bujalski moved, seconded by Councilmember Rice and carried, that the final draft of the Annual and Five-Year Work Program for Fiscal Years 2016-2020 be approved (Vote 11 0) C Verbal Reports Mr Blanton briefly discussed the partnership between the PPC and local governments, relating that the PPC staff will continue to define the agency s role and mission, and further integrate transportation and land use issues 7

Attachment 1 Relevant Countywide Considerations: Council Staff Analysis 1) Consistency with the Countywide Plan and Rules The proposed amendment is submitted by Pinellas County and seeks to reclassify a parcel totaling 24 acres The proposed amendment is from Residential Low Medium (RLM) to Public/Semi-Public (16 acres) and Preservation (08 acres) The site is adjoined by Brooker Creek Elementary School adjacent on the north and east, vacant property adjacent on the south, and an assisted living facility on the west across East Lake Rd The Public/Semi-Public category, proposed for 16 acres of the parcel, is used to recognize institutional and transportation/utility uses that serve the community or region, especially larger facilities having acreage exceeding the thresholds established in other plan categories, and which are consistent with the need, character, and scale of such uses relative to the surrounding uses, transportation facilities, and natural resource features Additionally, the category as applied to this site and proposed use allows up to 60 beds (residential equivalent use) for uses such as an Adult Living Facility (ALF) Additionally, this parcel has good access to major transportation facilities The property fronts on East Lake Rd, an arterial roadway The current RLM category is primarily used to recognize residential uses up to ten units per acre It also allows institutional uses like the one proposed (ie, the ALF) up to five acres in size The current local government land use designation is Residential Suburban (RS) allowing up to 25 residential dwellings per acre Even though the ALF would be allowed within the Countywide Plan category of RLM, the request will allow an ALF with a higher number of beds than what would be allowed under the more restrictive local category of RS The proposed Preservation category is used to depict those areas of the county that are now characterized, or appropriate to be characterized, as a natural resource feature worthy of preservation; and to recognize the significance of preserving such major environmental features and their ecological functions This amendment can be deemed consistent with this Relevant Countywide Consideration 2) Adopted Roadway Level of Service (LOS) Standard The amendment area is located on roadway operating at an LOS of F, East Lake Road However, traffic generated by the proposed amendment indicates a minor decrease in daily trips and will not result in a significant negative impact to the existing LOS The difference in expected traffic generated 1

between the existing and the proposed categories is a decrease of approximately 54 vehicle trips per day Therefore, the proposed amendment can be deemed consistent with this Relevant Countywide Consideration 3) Location on a Scenic/Non-Commercial Corridor (SNCC) The amendment area is located on East Lake Road, which is designated as a Primary SNCC, with this portion of the corridor having a subclassification of Residential The intent and purpose of the SNCC designation is to guide the preservation and enhancement of scenic qualities, to ensure the integrity of the Countywide Plan, and to maintain and enhance the traffic operation of these significant roadway corridors in Pinellas County The classification extends for 500 feet from the edge of the right-of-way The principal objectives of SNCC designations are: To preserve and enhance scenic qualities found along these corridors and to foster community awareness of the scenic nature of these corridors; To encourage superior community design and enhanced landscape treatment, both outside of and within the public right-of-way; To encourage land uses along these corridors that contribute to an integrated, well planned and visually pleasing development pattern while discouraging the proliferation of commercial, office, industrial or intense residential development beyond areas specifically designated for such uses on the Future Land Use Plan; To assist in maintaining the traffic operation of roadways within these corridors through land use type and density/intensity controls, and by conformance to access management regulations by selective transit route location, and by the development of integrated and safe pedestrian and bicycle access systems; To encourage design standards identified within the Pinellas County Countywide Scenic/Non-Commercial Corridor Master Plan through the adoption of local ordinances and regulations consistent with those standards set forth within the Master Plan The Countywide Rules state that the requested Public/Semi-Public and Preservation categories are considered to be potentially consistent with the Residential subclassification Section 42714B3 states that the categories as applied to the site must be consistent with the character, intensity, and scale of the uses permitted, other Countywide Plan Map categories in the area, adjoining existing uses, and the need for and service area of use The application of these categories to the subject area can be deemed consistent with this section given the proposed use of the property and its relationship to adjacent residential and institutional uses along the corridor 4) Coastal High Hazard Areas (CHHA) The amendment area is not located in a CHHA, so those policies are not applicable 2

5) Designated Development/Redevelopment Areas The amendment area is not located in, nor does it impact a designated development or redevelopment area 6) Adjacent to or Impacting an Adjoining Jurisdiction or Public Educational Facility The amendment area is not adjacent to another jurisdiction Additionally, the amendment area is adjacent to a public educational facility to the north and east However, the proposed development on the site should not significantly impact the school site Therefore, this request can be considered consistent with this Relevant Countywide Consideration Conclusion: On balance, it can be concluded that the requested amendment from Residential Low Medium to Public/Semi-Public and Preservation is deemed consistent with the Relevant Countywide Considerations found in the Countywide Rules 3

PPC Meeting September 9, 2015 Agenda Item VA Communications Strategy I RECOMMENDATION Council approve and execute contract with Big Sea Design II BACKGROUND Branding/Communications Consultant Selection Contract Approval With unification of the PPC/MPO and its evolving role, there is a need to present a fresh perspective and face to the community that reinforces our mission, roles and responsibilities Branding will help increase name recognition and visibility of the PPC/MPO among the public and stakeholder organizations, while respecting its official legal status as the PPC and responsibilities as the MPO for federal and state requirements Toward that end, on July 29 th, the PPC staff sent a Request for Proposals (RFP) to solicit responses from five local and national consultants referred to the agency by various sources We received four responses by the August 14 th deadline, and scheduled presentations with all four on August 21 st A ranking committee, comprised of PPC/MPO staff members serving on the Communications Team, evaluated each firm against criteria outlined in the RFP to score each consultant s response (Attachment 1) A selection committee, comprised of the Executive Director and both Division Managers, approved the committee s ranking, selecting Big Sea Design, Inc, located at 1970 Central Avenue, St Petersburg, and negotiated a scope of work and contract (Attachment 2) to carry out the branding and provide support on various aspects of the PPC/MPO s Strategic Communications Plan The contract authorizes a consulting arrangement between Big Sea Design and the PPC for an amount not to exceed $60,000 for a period covering one year The PPC has the option of extending the contract by one additional year The actual negotiated lump sum amount for the branding and communications support work is $38,490 per the approved scope of services, which will be billed in uniform monthly installments over the 12 month term The remainder up to the contract maximum will be used only if necessary for requested services that may occur beyond the scope of services Funding for the consultant will come from a combination of PPC and MPO budgets given the shared project outcome PPC Action: CPA Action: H:\USERS\Council Operations\Contract Admin\Contracts\Big Sea\PPC Branding Memodocx

SUBJECT: Communications Strategy The contract and scope of services is included for review and action Per the agreement, the Branding/Communications consultant will undertake the following activities through interaction with PPC/MPO staff, Council members and key stakeholders: Create a new name, logo and color palette for the PPC/MPO Develop key messages reinforcing our mission, role and responsibilities Develop a unified agency web site, blog and social media presence Prepare templates for various collateral materials (business cards, document templates, etc) Assist with other aspects of the Communications Plan as needed A kick-off meeting is planned for September 16 th and Big Sea will participate in the PPC/MPO Work Session on September 21 st to gain input for the branding effort Strategic Communications Plan Information Only Effective communications is a critical component of the PPC/MPO s new role Our focus should be on increasing understanding and building consensus toward a compelling vision for the county, its role in the region, and the key steps toward achieving it That voice must come from within, not merely an echo of external perspectives We can learn from national, statewide and regional experiences, but we must develop our own story and key messages for moving forward from a focused dialogue and sharing of knowledge within the community It will address how thoughtful transportation and land use decisions make for a more livable and economically vital city, county and region It will speak to the trade-offs and implications of potential decisions An engaged dialogue is a foundation of sound decision-making The MPO has an adopted Public Involvement Plan (PIP) that documents how it will gain public input and feedback to help inform its transportation planning process However, that is a more general plan primarily intended to outline the range of public engagement strategies the MPO will undertake to meet federal requirements The PIP needs to be complemented with a more focused and nimble communications strategy that is topical and designed to help the unified agency fulfill its mission of serving countywide interests The PPC/MPO staff is preparing a Strategic Communications Plan to strengthen such a dialogue with the public, community-based interests, and our partner organizations We will have a valuesbased conversation to complement and reinforce the strategic policy initiatives to be defined by the PPC/MPO governing board for the coming two years, through calendar years 2016 and 2017 2
