PRESENTATION BY FIRE CHIEF THE PINNING OF A NEW FIREFIGHTER BY MAYOR PALLADENO Mayor Palladeno first swore in and pinned the new firefighter/paramedic, Carl James McGaughey. 2. VFW NOMINATION OF FIREFIGHTER GOLD MEDAL OF YEAR AWARD Fire Chief Derry! O'Neal: Every year the Chief is asked by the Commission and various civic organizations to name the firefighter of the year. He explains that this is always a difficult decision so asked the fellow firefighters for nominations. Overwhelmingly the response was very similar. The nominee was described as willing to take on additional tasks and duties and always step up and assist no matter who requests his service. The Chief then revealed the Firefighter/Paramedic of the Year as Andrew Childers. Childers accepted the award and the Fire Chief explained that this was a complete surprise for him - he only expected something when his family and friends showed up at the beginning of this meeting. 3. VFW NOMINATION OF LAW ENFORCEMENT GOLD MEDAL OF YEAR AWARD Mayor Palladeno: Revealed that the nomination went to Madeira Beach's own Deputy Lawson. Since he was unable to attend this meeting due to a military assignment and won't return for another two weeks, the presentation will be made when he can attend. F. PUBLIC COMMENT (limited to 3 minutes) Warren Keenan: He requested for free or reduced boat launching at the Marina for Madeira Beach resident parking permit holders. At the current rate of $10 per launch, it has cost the citizens a lot of money in a short amount of time. He suggested that a way to make up for that cost, the city could split up parking spaces for motorcycles. He explained that currently only one motorcycle will take up an entire space even though up to four (4) could fit. He had another suggestion for John's Pass Bridge to install colored LED lights to dress it up in full open position because tourists would really enjoy it. People often take pictures of the bridge and this could give it even more positive attention. Mr. Keenan has heard complaints from a few residents on his street about cars speeding when the roads are flooded. They complain about wakes from cars damage their properties. He suggested posting speed limits on public streets specifically for when roads are flooded, much like school zone speed limits. It would be the responsibility of the driver to abide by the reduced limit when roads are flooded. His final comment was in regards to road re-paving. The road in front of his home is a few inches higher, which blocks the water from the storm drain. He thinks that instead of just added a new layer of asphalt 21 BOC Regular Meeting 04/08/2014 that makes the roads higher, the City should consider completely redoing the roads. He aiso added that the work that has been done at Archibald Park looks great. Mayor Palladeno: He has presented the motorcycle parking issue up before but the Marina parking is a new and he asked the CM to further look into that. In regards to decorative lights on the bridge, this would need to be discussed with FDOT because it is a state bridge. Speeding cars in flooded areas are currently addressed by deputies - during the last storm, deputies would put up temporary signs to stop and go slowly on underwater roads. He thanked Mr. Keenan for his comments. G. CONSENT AGENDA 1. BID AWARD Bid Award for the 4 th of July Fireworks Display Unlimited 2.

Joanne Kennedy: Congratulated V-M Hodges on her new position. Ms. Kennedy has worked as a representative for the Planning Council since 2010 and has represented several beach communities. The MPO currently does not have a member that represents the beaches and asks for their nomination for this newly created seat. The MPO works on transportation, mixed-use properties, and other issues that are important for beach communities. She hopes that once the organizations (PPC and MPO) are merged later in April, she can come back and explain everything that has occurred again. Mayor Palladeno: Noted that she normally reports to the Big C. He explained that the various beach communities are passing similar resolutions and the Big C will take those votes into consideration for appointing the seat for the MPO. Commissioner Lister: How long is the term that she will serve? Ms. Kennedy: The term is for two (2) years. Commissioner Shontz notes that she must be very busy but Mrs. Kennedy explained that she enjoys representing these communities and that it's important for these cities and towns to have a voice. She has been involved in the creation of this new seat since the beginning. She told the Board that whatever the City needs to know about transportation or any other concern, that they can contact her and she will be able to help. Mayor Palladeno: How long have you served in Indian Rocks? Ms. Kennedy: It's been a combined total of ten (10) years. BOC Regular Meeting 04/08/2014  4.
