GFOA Representative for Hillsborough County- Karen Keith
Karen Keith: Represents GFOA. The CAFR, which was created in 1945, has the goal to prepare highest
quality financial reports to help promote transparency and full disclosure. Madeira Beach has again
earned this award for FY2013 - presented to Vince Tenaglia for his hard work and direction that earned
recognition from the GFOA.
ACM/FD: Thanked his staff and is proud to work for the City.
2. Presentation on the Recognition of Distinguished PCSO Deputies
Travis Palladeno, Mayor
The deputies were thanked and recognized by the Mayor. Miss Hailey and Miss Avery presented the keys
to the City to the deputies who were honored: Deputy Tom Randall, Deputy Bryant Duncan, and Deputy
Timothy Virden.
F. PUBLIC COMMENT (limited to 3 minutes)
David Polito: Property owner in Madeira Beach for 22 years. He owns the property between The Bronze
Lady and Florida Winery. The City gave Tom Powers a building permit that created a barrier that was
supposed to be temporary but now Mr. Powers wants it to be permanent. The expense extends six feet
past his property. It affects the public walkway and he has refused to remove it unless Mr. Polito agrees
to pay half the costs for the elevator maintenance. He then presented the following questions:
• How can this be if there is a fire or emergency?
• How long does one have before a temporary fence before construction is completed?
• People have already climbed over it, what is the liability?
If left unchecked, it would negatively affect the City. He asks for the City's help since the City provided
help to Mr. Tom Powers.
CM: The current state of the barrier is not in code compliance, but he asks for a five minute recess and
referred Mr. Polito to set up an appointment and further discuss the case with the Building Official. The
Mayor agreed that after the Consent Agenda is passed to hold a five minute recess.
G. CONSENT AGENDA
1. Approval of Duke Energy Binding Cost Agreement for Gulf Boulevard between Archibald
Park and 155th Avenue in the amount of $362,707.98.
2. Approval of the Bid Award for the Fourth of July fireworks to Creative Pyrotechnics
3. Authorization of change order to include amphitheater expansion to Rec Center and
additional furniture and landscaping purchases for the new City Centre*
BOC Regular Meeting - 03/10/2014 216
A motion to approve the Consent Agenda as presented was made by Commissioner Lister and seconded
by Vice-Mayor Hodges.
CM: Briefly discussed the three items. The approval for Duke Energy is for the first undergrouding - all
of this is in budget, this authorization just moves forward on the project. The Mayor confirmed that these
funds were partly acquired through Gulf Beautification grants.
The second item is for the Fireworks Bid and it is awarded to company that did it last year. However, we
don't know if our annual contributor is going to donate again. He wants to award it to the $26,000 show
if the contributor does donate. The contact is currently out of the country. Note: At the end of the
meeting, the CM received a text message from the contributor who is planning to again donate this year.
The third item was discussed at a 4:30 Workshop - Bill Karns, the man behind ROC Park, is going to donate
a third of the cost for a Band Shell expansion. The CM and ACM are comfortable now to keep this within
the budget. It may come back if they are not able to meet this.

1. ORDINANCE 2015-02
A SECOND AND FINAL READING OF AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF MADEIRA BEACH,
FLORIDA, AMENDING SECTIONS 14-130.1, 14-130.2, 14-130.5, 14-130.6, 14-130.7, 14-
130.8 AND 14-130.11 OF DIVISION 4 OF ARTICLE Ill OF CHAPTER 14 OF THE CODE OF
ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF MADEIRA BEACH TO PROVIDE THAT THE LICENSING AND
INSPECTION PROGRAM APPLIES TO FOUR UNITS OR LESS ON A RESIDENTIAL RENTAL
PROPERTY; TO PROVIDE THAT THE APPLICATION SHALL BE MADE ALONG WITH THE
PAYMENT OF THE LOCAL BUSINESS TAX; TO CLARIFY WHEN THE INSPECTION WILL OCCUR;
TO PROVIDE THAT THE NOTICE TO INITIATE REVOCATION OR SUSPENSION OF LICENSE

130,14; REPEALING ALL ORDINANCES OR PARTS OR ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT HEREWITH;
AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
CA read Ordinance 2015-02 by title only.
CA: Explained that the sentence "Residential rental unit ... " was added to this ordinance. It was previously
added but the wrong version was included in the packets. The corrected version appears in the Dais Log
provided to the Board of Commissioners. He added this provision to address the issue relative to the
Mons Property. He was given direction by the Board to address these types of situations. This issue is
also addressed in bullet #2 in memo.
BOC Regu l ar Meeting - 03/10/2014 3 16
A motion to approve Ordinance 2015-02 on second and final reading was made by Commissioner Lister
and seconded by Vice-Mayor Hodges.
Commissioner Poe: Believes that this item should be tabled. There have been multiple drafts and she
believes that the Commission should better understand the ordinance. She made a motion to table the
item, it was not seconded.
Bob Cummins: Brought up the excessively high fees outlined in Section 5 of 2015-02. He has yet to hear
a logical explanation. He suggests that these fees are not for revenue enhancement - charge the property
owner only if the property is not in compliance. That way good property owners are not punished with
violators. He thinks the ordinance should be friendlier to property owners. He has talked with his
neighbors because everything is preordained and everything goes through automatically.
CM: Clarified that the fees have not changed. The original fee schedule was previously passed and this
ordinance does not change any of the actual fees that were previously passed.
