YES Commissioner Poe ..................... YES Mayor Palladeno ........................... .YES Commissioner Shontz..................YES F. PUBLIC COMMENT (limited to 3 minutes) Victor Cucaro: Had a question for F.D. about the emergency fund - when you took office, I think the emergency fund was close to $13 million, where did the money go? FD: That fund has never, in the recent past, has not been $13 million. The reserve fund is a third of the operation budget, and is usually between $1.5-2 million. Cucaro: The number that I had was about $9,000,000. He's sent emails to both the CM and the FD. The amount of money is sometimes difficult to be exactly precise and he understands there might be a difference. The money is still being used. The question is what do we do with $1 million of the emergency fund if we have a natural disaster? FD: To clarify, we have not used the emergency fund. It would require a specific vote. Cucaro: On page 124, the City started with $5 million and ended up with $700,000. FD: Checked page 125, there is a specific note in the budget that says the City reserves a third of the operating budget for emergencies. As far as I know, in the recent past, the City has never used the money. CM: At what point in time was the $13 million or $7 million you site? That hasn't been the case in the last few years. Cucaro: This was around the time that the CM took office. His problem is that the cash balance has disappeared. According to the budget, by 2015 the cash balance will be $750,000. They mayor explained that number is not correct. FD: If you look at beginning cash balance, we do start with $9 million. The projection starts with a beginning balance then adds funding sources and subtracts all expenses to provide an update at the end of the year. For FY2014, the $9 million is projected to go down to $2 million largely because of the Municipal project. Cucaro: Wanted to stress that projections are projections and that this can change. The Mayor told Mr. Cucaro that he had gone over the three minutes allotted and that this can further be discussed with the CM and FD outside of the meeting and they can debate the issue in the future. Virginia Tolliver: What is the definition of derelict boats? Does ii include the boats they've pulled out of the graveyard that fall apart and drift to my property? Commissioner Poe: It is defined as a boat that does not move on its own. This is what we're trying to get rid of. Tolliiver thanked the Board. PRESENTATIONSJPROCLAMATIONS PRESENTATION BY THE G.F.O.A.

Steve Kochick: In regards to item #2, in the event that anything changes, he requests that the CM notify him as soon as possible so they have time to prepare and adjust. Tickets for "Food for Thought" are currently $20 and will be $30 at the door. He explained that this is an important fundraiser for the library and he thanked the Board. There was a lot of positive feedback from the restaurants and businesses that are participating. In the PPLC there has been a radical change in the leadership. The CMs of Clearwater and Largo have taken over. He attends those meetings to ensure that the Gulf Beaches Public Library continues to thrive, he is nervous about three big cities that might not have the same concerns for the library making these decisions but he can report back if any issues arise.

ORDINANCE 2013-11 A SECOND READING OF AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF MADEIRA BEACH, FLORIDA, CREATING SECTION 102-56 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF MADEIRA BEACH, FLORIDA TO PROVIDE TEMPORARY SIGN EXEMPTIONS FOR CERTAIN SIGNS; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. The CA read the second reading of the ordinance by title only. A motion to pass Ordinance 2013-11 was made by Commissioner Hodges and seconded by Commissioner Shontz. CM: To clarify, this was the 'lightening up' of the sign ordinance. This allows for flutter signs and professionally made A-frame signs. We will also send an update when the business tax license renewal season comes around to inform business owners that they can now use these signs. Steve Kochick: Expressed concerns of how to inform people of the changes. He is concerned about the way it's written. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reviews every six months, will it change as the Bureau updates? CM: This has been successful in other cities. What they do is use unemployment as a statistical factor to determine if there should be a broader range of signage. The review decides whether they allow this broader range with the unemployment stat so in six months, they can continue or discontinue the previously decided range. It is possible that you buy an A-frame sign and it could be not allowed after another review. Kochick: If every store owner puts out a sandwich sign on John's Pass, where will the people walk? He used this as an example of how easily this could change. Commissioner Shontz: She believes that this will help our businesses. She understands the example of John's Pass, but this helps businesses when the season is slow. CM: The signs are very specific in structure. The biggest complaint was for A-frame sandwich signs. John's Pass might be a bit different entity, but Lisa'a Cafe is a perfect example - people will walk right by without the sign. Kochick: He understands the arguments for the signage, but is still concerned over the wording of the ordinance.

YES Mayor Palladeno............................YES Commissioner Shontz..................YES I. NEW BUSINESS 1. PUBLIC HEARING To consider Alcoholic Beverage Use Permit#14.01 for Beach Fun & Games LLC, located at 12975 Village Blvd., for a 2COP alcoholic beverage license to sell beer and wine for consumption on premises as part of the business. CA swore in any witnesses for Item #1 and read the permit in title. CM: At this time, staff has no objection to the permit. The CA asked the Board if there were any questions for City staff. V-M Lister: He asked if they met all the criteria and was told that they had. CA asked the applicant to step forward and present. ..,..ca.,.... r::r • 01/21/2014 BOC Regular Meeting Paul Sullivan: The business is on 12957 Village Blvd. and is nearing its second anniversary. After a customer survey, the number one requested item was to serve beer and wine at the establishment. V-M Lister: He confirmed that the business is upstairs and that coolers would be installed for the beer. He wanted to insure that engineering design could support that type of weight. He wants them to be aware of that. Commissioner Shontz: She expressed that she was not thrilled with approving all of the alcohol licenses in the Village but understands that this is the 21 st century and realizes the need. There is not much the Board can do to stop these permits if they meet all of the criteria because of state statute. In the past, it used to be that a business had to be 500 feet from another establishment that sells alcohol. She's not sure if that still exists. CM: There are criteria in the code for denial. None of those criteria apply in these two permits. There are some public safety needs that can be used for denial. He is not sure about the 500ft rule, but can look into it. He agreed that our hands are somewhat tied but there are still some criteria for denial. The CM later found the 500ft issue that Commissioner Shontz was talking about - it stated that "you shall not have this 500ft of an established church, synagogue, temple, place of religious worship, public or private school operated for the education of minors or youth recreation center. A motion to approver Alcohol Beverage Use Permit #14.01 was made by Commissioner Poe and seconded by Commissioner Hodges. ROLL CALL: Commissioner Hodges.................YES Vice-Mayor Lister........................... YES Commissioner Poe ..................... YES Mayor Palladeno............................YES Commissioner Shontz..................YES 2. PUBLIC HEARING To consider Alcoholic Beverage Use Permit #14.02 for Fishennan OBA Hubbard's Marina, Inc., located at 170 John's Pass Place (Boardwalk), for a 2APS alcoholic beverage license to sell beer and wine as part of their business. CA swore in any witnesses for Item #2 and read the permit in title. CM: Staff has no objections to perm~. CA asked the applicant to step forward and present his application. Mark Hubbard: They have three licenses currenfly to sell beer and wine. They have a charter boat and number of subcontracted boats that they cannot sell alcohol on. The clients constanfly jump from charter to party boats and don't understand why they can drink on one and not the other. This puts us one step towards a Bait and Tackle store, they want to sell beer and wine to those who charter fishing. Mayor Palladeno: What is the plan - beer and fishing? Hubbard: We don't allow glass on the boats so we would stock canned beer and boxed wine along with sodas and waters. We sell other beverages but cannot sell alcoholic ones. A motion to approve Alcohol Beverage Use Permit #14.02 was made by Commissioner Hodges and seconded by V-M Lister.

RESOLUTION NO. 2014-01 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF MADEIRA BEACH, FLORIDA AMENDING THE FY 2014 BUDGET BY APPROPRIATING $3,200 FOR CITY MANAGER'S VACATION HOUR PAYOUT PER EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT. CA read the resolution by title only. A motion to approve Resolution No. 2014-01 was made by V-M Lister and seconded by Commissioner Shontz. ROLL CALL: Commissioner Hodges.................YES Vice-Mayor Lister........................... YES Commissioner Poe..................... YES Mayor Palladeno............................YES Commissioner Shontz..................YES 4. RESOLUTION NO. 2014-02 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF MADEIRA BEACH, FLORIDA AMENDING THE FY 2014 BUDGET BY APPROPRIATING $3,810 FOR WATER QUALITY SAMPLING. CA read the resolution by title only. A motion to approve Resolution No. 2014-02 was made by Commissioner Hodges and seconded by Commissioner Poe. Commissioner Shontz: Is this a new law that we have to do this? CM: There is something happening in our waters that is illegal and there is pollution in the water. CM, CSD, and FD have been working with the county to discover what the problem is and what is causing this. Boats illegally dumping could be part of the problem but given the volume of the bay, there is something else making these pollutant levels so high. Commissioner Shontz: Clarified that this is the water in the bay and beach. V-M Lister: Explained that this could potentially close the beaches if it gets worse and those could have very negative effects on beach tourism. He expressed that it is important to be on top of this issue so they can address it before it gets any worse and the City can begin to solve the problem. ROLL CALL: Commissioner Hodges.................YES Vice-Mayor Lister........................... YES Commissioner Poe ..................... YES Mayor Palladeno............................YES Commissioner Shontz..................YES 5. RESOLUTION NO. 2014-03 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF MADEIRA BEACH, FLORIDA AMENDING THE FY 2014 BUDGET BY APPROPRIATING $12,500 FOR CITY HALL INTERNSHIP PROGRAM. CA read the resolution by title only. CM: Helping these interns build their resumes and experience is great but the City also gets a huge benefit. The interns provide about 300 hours of free work before there is any type of payment and there is no obligation to hire them after the internship is completed. If they prove their worth, we set them up on a part-time basis so they have some working capital before finding their first job. They work with the CC and shadow the different departments. As staff is trimmed, they are a great resource to get some of the 'grunt' work done such as transcribe minutes and set up rooms. There have been two interns so far and they have been fabulous. Finding an internship today is not the easiest thing to do and degrees such as Political Science and Public Administration require it. We have established a relationship with a professor who has been sending us the 'cream of the crop'. 6( 01/21/2014 BOC Regular Meeting Mayor Palladeno: Has seen firsthand the program how well the interns have worked out and the CC also commended the intern work. V-M Lister: This is a great way to spend the money, it is very well-spent. Commissioner Shontz: Years ago, there was a boy named Paul Williams who worked as an intern. He later became the CM of Madeira and was in Public Works in Gulf Port. It is a very valuable program and the past has shown great success. A motion to approve Resolution No. 2014-03 was made by V-M Lister and seconded by Commissioner Shontz. ROLL CALL: Commissioner Hodges .................YES Vice-Mayor Lister........................... YES Commissioner Poe..................... YES Mayor Palladeno........................... .YES Commissioner Shontz..................YES 6. RESOLUTION NO. 2014-04 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF MADEIRA BEACH, FLORIDA AMENDING THE FY 2014 BUDGET BY APPROPRIATING $17,136 FOR STREET SWEEPING EXPENDITURES INCURRED FROM JANUARY 2010 TO JUNE 2011. CA read the resolution by title only. A motion to approve Resolution No. 2014-04 was made by Commissioner Shontz and seconded by Commissioner Poe. CM: The dates are correct. There was turmoil and chaos during this time period. We were contracted with the city of St. Pete to do street sweeping. The bills were coming in and the CM and FD validated all of them and it was proven that they weren't paid so the money is due. It has changed since then; we now do twice as much street sweeping for the same dollar amount and no longer do business with st. Pete. A consulting firm notified them of the payments and brought them to our attention. ROLL CALL: Commissioner Hodges ................ .YES Vice-Mayor Lister...........................

REPORTS/CORRESPONDENCE • CITY COMMISSION Mayor Palladeno: As a member of the TDC of the elected official for Pinellas County, incomes are up and tourism is up. This will be further described in the CM report. The Mayor also found out that he was nominated to be the Vice President of the Mayor's Council of Pinellas County - this is the first time a mayor from Madeira Beach has been in this position. Shontz expressed that this is a great opportunity and has a positive look toward the future. Commissioner Poe: Introduced Deputy Luckett on the update on the FWC. Deputy Luckett: We have been making a lot of headway. The marine unit had some new deputy recruits and made this a training area that has resulted in significant increase in violations of derelict boats and reported to the state. There has been al ot of progress in identifying those boats to get them towed out. Mr. Swanson, managing ABC, has been passing out pump out flyers to all boat owners. On the enforcement end, we have towed a few boats and in one case, a boater was arrested for violations. Luckett then addressed the audience and stressed that reporting is one of the biggest keys to knowing where the problem exists. Commissioner Poe: Commended Deputy Luckett for his readiness to work on this project. • CITY ATTORNEY· None • CITY MANAGER CM: Many festivals were approved for events on Madeira Way. The Mayor and CM determined that fewer and far between events at a bigger scope is preferred. A Home Decor Show in February and a Home and Garden Show in April was cancelled, a pre-St. Patrick's day festival will occur on March 15. CM and CC are revising procedure for applicant to have the ability for these promoters to put in their applications with more than 90 days notice. The CM is okay approving these up to a year in advance to give promoters more time for advertising and fundraising. There is a BOC meeting scheduled for March 11, 2014 that the CM is recommending to be cancelled due to the election. Before rescheduling, the Board should consider whether it's necessary closer to the date; there may not be a need to reschedule. The new website is up - Network People are here and have re-launched the website and it looks much better. It looks great and the CM thinks we've achieved what we originally wanted. CM and FD put together a report of a recap of last year. FD: Most of the content to present is very positive. The first quarter update was a bit more detailed because it indudes actual revenue and expenditures form FY 2013. All update for the budget was broken down to the difference to what was budgeted for each fund versus how it ended up at the end of 2013 - and it was very positive. The general fund beginning balance at $5.4 million dollars - there tend to be questions because in the CAFR, the unassigned balance in the general fund is closer to $7.2 million. The difference exists because the City reserves a third of the budget for emergencies and natural disasters such as hurricanes that amounts to about $1.8 million, it is considered unavailable for appropriation unless specifically approved by the Board. Everything projected is on top of that reserve. Many other cities in the state and even country, in the past four to five years, have been using reserves to balance their budgets. Even with the appropriations Madeira Beach made to the budget last year, not only did the City avoid tapping into the reserves, the general fund revenues exceeded the expenditures. The available cash balance of the general fund - the City is drawing down cash balance and it is important to keep in mind that we are not doing that in the context of the operating budget. All of the capital projects in FY2014, with the exception of City Hall, are pay-as-you-go cash funded. With all of the projects, the projected cash balance projection for FY 2018 of about 25% of the operating budget is very healthy. Local Option Sales Tax Fund or "Penny for Pinellas" - This fund does not have any operating expenditures of any kind because there are restrictions on how the fund can be used. The available cash balance is being reduced on this fund, which is not a cause for concern since there are no recurring operating expenditures. As money comes in from "Penny for Pinellas", those sf 01/21/2014 BOC Regular Meeting funds are available for capital expenditures however the City decides to spend. The revenues for this fund are back up to pre- recession figures, the projection for FY2014 is $371,000 which is the highest in five years. Sanitation Fund - Again, looks very healthy and the operating revenues are exceeding expenditures by $250,000 which was enough to buy a new sanitation truck. Revenues are covering recurring costs and costs to support ongoing capital. This is probably our healthiest fund at this point. Stonnwater Fund - This fund probably deserves more attention than any other given the list of capital projects. Available cash balance over the next five years is down to $32,000 in FY2018 and is probably a tittle lower than we would prefer. This is not due to the operating budget but is because of all the projects the City is working. We are currenUy wortdng with consultants to identify what the true capital needs are which will be tied into a rate study to ensure we protect the cash balance. The operation budget returned $60,000 last year and the draw down is caused by capital. Marina Fund - Revenues exceeded expenditures by $130,000, the best year since 2007 and second best since 2004. Something to consider - right now, the general fund has $300,000 penciled in for marina improvements scheduled for 2017, which is something that could be more appropriate to put in the marina fund. Archibald Fund - The only fund at this point that has some short term concern due to the park being closed for the last few months. The concession agreement awards will bring in $60,000 on top of what was budgeted. Based on timing, even if this current budget ended on a loss, the fund will be in a very good shape because it is a short-term issue. Parking Revenue - The first quarter {October - December} the City experienced a 42% increase in parking revenue even with Archibald being closed. If we annualize this, it is projected to be around an extra $300,000 this year (not taking into account the Archibald closure and the Parking Ticket Processing). Mayor Palladeno: Thanked F.D. and C.S.D for outstanding Marina performance. V-M Lister: Is the interest for the "Penny for Pinellas" fund locked in to only beautification project or can it go back to the general fund? FD: We can do whatever you want to do there. If you wanted to see the interest allocated out to the general fund that is possible. Our hands aren't tied by Pinellas in that regard. Building revenue is another hot topic - Permit revenue totaled $226,000 last year, the first year the City took on that service. The City can only use building revenue for what is identified as building cost and excess had to be reserved. We reserved $38,000 that can only be used for future building expenses. Mayor Palladeno: Is the building department is carrying itself well? CM: We have a new Building Official and Inspector, Frank Desantis - he has already made an impact and you can see the difference from having an employee on the payroll versus a contracted company. The Building Department is certainly self- sufficient, even in excess. There are some pretty sizable permits being approved right now. We have been pro-development and we hope the people like what they see. Mayor Palladeno: Commended the City staff. He noted that back in 2007, the millage rate 2.2 mills and now it's 1.79 now, we're still saving money and we're getting a lot done. CM: Even with the large number of budget amendments last year, we still returned six figures. The Board is fiscally responsible and this is attributed to the teamwork between City staff and the Board. Mayor Palladeno: The annual parking revenue is usually around $700,000 a year so what you're saying is now we'll be around $1,000,000 if this trend continues? FD: If the past three months are indication, current year revenue will be around $1.1 million, even with Madeira Beach residents not paying. • CITY CLERK - None 01/21/2014 BOC Regular Meeting  K.
