Clearwater City Council

Thursday night's Clearwater City Council meeting addressed the grassroots organization Save the Garden's citizen petition opposing the city giving one block of South Garden Avenue to the Church of Scientology

The Clearwater City Council voted to move forward with vacating portions of three public rights-of-way for the parking lot of a proposed $50 million entertainment center backed by the Church of Scientology.

There will not be an interruption to service delivery for citizens in the event the franchise agreement lapses at the end of the month.

The Clearwater City Council voted June 18 to hand over a downtown block to the Church of Scientology. Grassroots group Save the Garden is racing to collect 7,000 signatures in time to undo that decision.

With a 3-2 Clearwater City Council vote approving a street handover, the Church of Scientology's Flag Services Organization won a tentative victory in its downtown expansion efforts.

It will cost the city of Clearwater over $43.5 million to replace the aging marina.

Aungst previously served as Clearwater's mayor from 1999-2005. He will hold the position until March 2024 following the resignation of Frank Hibbard.

Saying that he wasn't right leader for the council anymore, Hibbard, who had about one year left in his term, stepped down in the middle of a budget workshop.
