PUBLIC COMMENT- LIMITED TO THREE (3) MINUTES Steve Kochick - Commented on the great Fourth of July fireworks show that the City hosted. However, he thought that the $20 parking fee was too high and that the City shouldn't charge families that amount for a holiday celebration. He also commented on the long events that create parking and traffic congestion and disrupt residents that live nearby. He thinks that the City should more carefully consider the events they choose to host and be mindful of disturbing other residents. Deb Weinstein: In response to Mr. Kochick's comment, she explained that she lives near John's Pass where noise and events are always happening and was told in the past if they didn't like it, they didn't have to live there. Jim Rostek: Made a complaint about the process that he has had to go through in order to simply install a 45 lb. ladder to his dock. He is a retired firefighter and follows the rules as they are written. He explained that the ladder on the seawall was considered a "structure" according to City Code and because of that had to get an engineer report to prove that it was safe. He feels that the process and language should be reconsidered, especially if even Pinellas County did not require a permit. G.

REPORTS/CORRESPONDENCE • CITY COMMISSION - None • CITY ATTORNEY CA: The CA began by explaining the memo that was included in the Dais Log. He summarized Code Enforcement Case 2015.02 that was filed against the property owner Raymond McDermott for Chronic Nuisance. On April 8, 2015, the case was brought back to the Special Magistrate for failure to implement the City approved action plan to bring the property into compliance. Recently, the City was notified that the property owner was revoking its trespass authorization and that leases will no longer be submitted to the City for review prior to being rented.
