The City Manager explained that the electrical services contract is for an as needed basis whereas the landscaping services contract is for a continuing service. BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS MEETING MINliTES REGULAR MEETING June 12, 2018 Page4 of 19 The City Manager said they wanted to have three secured agreements with ditlerent providers on an as needed basis. They just needed the billable rate and the contractor would have to meet all of the protocols. This does not commit the City to any funds. It is similar to a contractual agreement that someone would have with an attorney. Vice-Mayor Weinstein said the March 27th meeting minutes are identified as April 27th• The minutes show her present at the meeting, but she was not installed until April the 10th meeting. Vice-Mayor Weinstein said the award for contract services for the electrical repair and landscaping services did not include the contractor numbers and they did not provide a copy of the certificate of insurance declaration page from one of the electrical contractors.

Ordinance 2018~03, Amending Fees and Collections Procedures Manual - 2nd Reading & Public Hearing - Linda Portal, Planning & Zoning Director [Following the discussion of item 8B, the Commission moved back to item 8.A.] BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS MEETING MINUTES REGULAR MEETING June 12, 2018 Page 5 of19 Planning & Zoning Director Linda Portal said this is the second reading of the ordinance and no changes have been made since the first reading. Commissioner Oakley asked about the language referring to the purchase of parking permits on a weekly or monthly basis ofup to 50% of the metered parking spaces. She asked who determines that. The City Manager said it puts a cap on the number of spots that permits can be sold to. Commissioner Oakley asked if the language ''parking in a no parking zone" found under item E of Parking Fines and Penalties, #3 is referring to the parking ordinance on page 5. Director Portal said yes. Commissioner Oakley referred top. 14 regarding the Bell Tower and asked if it is a new rental. The City Manager said yes. Vice-Mayor Weinstein commented that the one for Kitty Stuart is as well. City Clerk Clara VanBlargan read Ordinance 2018-03 by title only. Vice-Mayor Weinstein motioned to adopt Ordinance 2018-03 after second reading and public hearing. Commissioner Oakley seconded the motion. Mayor Black opened the public hearing. There were no comments by the public. ROLL CALL: Vice-Mayor Weinstein "YES" Commissioner Oakley "YES" Commissioner Douthirt "YES" Commissioner Hodges "YES" Mayor Black "YES" The motion carried 5-0. B. Ordinance 2018-04, Amendment to Non-Conforming Structures - 2nd Reading & Public Hearing - Linda Portal, Planning & Zoning Director Planning & Zoning Director Linda Portal reviewed Agenda Item 7 .B. and gave a PowerPoint presentation. Mayor Black opened the public hearing. Dan with Lombardo Construction said his client, Vicky Clark lives on 3rd Street and is affected by the amendment. He showed a floor plan to the Commission and said she is trying to add a bedroom to her small home. The house was constructed with a small set back. The zoning was most likely changed after the fact. Unfortunately, the Code requires that the house be setback five feet. The BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS MEETING MINUTES REGULAR MEETING June 12, 2018 Page 6 of 19 problem with the Code is that it requires a neighbor's approval. She will get shot down by her neighbor. Commissioner Oakley asked if this will affect the neighbor in any way. Director Portal said the neighbor is in attendance and can speak for herself. Kathy Collier, 13145 3ro Street, said she lives adjacent to the property. Her property has become her neighbor's retention pond and her yard is soggy as the result of the rain. The property flooded after the pavers were removed. Director Portal said the ordinance requires a signed approval from the neighbor and a quasi-judicial hearing before the Planning Commission. The City Attorney said the ordinance contains exceptions that would go through the Planning Commission which would require the neighbors to agree. There is still a variance process that would go through a special magistrate and meet all variance requirements. The City Manager asked if someone met all of the criteria for the waiver would they get approved. Director Portal said they would because the Planning Commission would only determine if they met the criteria. Vice-Mayor Weinstein said she walked to the neighbors that are dealing with these issues. She is comfortable with the ordinance and that the neighbors have a hand in the exception process. Tom Damowsky, said he is working with a client on Boca Ciega Drive on a similar situation. The ordinance will put everyone on the same playing field. Most of the homes were built prior to the adoption of the zoning ordinance. Mayor Black closed the public hearing. City Clerk Clara VanBlargan read Ordinance 2018-04 by title only. Vice-Mayor Weinstein motioned to adopt Ordinance 2018-04 following second reading and public hearing. Commissioner Hodges seconded the motion.

BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS MEETING MINUTES REGULAR MEETING June 12, 2018 Page 7 of 19 C. Resolution 2018-05, Parking Revenue(s) Allocation of Additional SO.SO - Jonathan Evans, City Manager City Clerk Clara V anBlargan read Resolution 2018-05 by title only. The City Manager reviewed the agenda item and explained that the approval of Ordinance 2018- 03 would allow for the parking fee to increase from $2.00 per hour to $2.50 per hour. The Board discussed the allocation ofthe additional $0.50 and indicated that $0.25 or approximately $413,000 should be set aside for paying down debt and the other $0.25 put into infrastructure to account for maintenance City wide. The Board also spoke about allocating funds to John's Pass specifically. The City has $452,123 in the budget now from the 2010 Deep Water Horizon Oil Spill money that can be put to purposes as deemed fit by the Board. There is definitely a need for improvements in Johns Pass Village. Staff is proposed to spend $125,000 from the oil spill settlement on capital projects in John's Pass. Staff is proposing other capital projects as well. He indicated that they are looking for direction from the Board on two items: how to spend the additional 25 cents and to designate the $125,000 requested in the FY 2019 budget. Mayor Black said they will look at other funding options for John's Pass as well. Commissioner Oakley asked how much is spent on John's Pass now. The City Manager said they have about $152,000 for operation and maintenance. They looked at the month of January, February and March and the anticipated revenue to be collected is $519,000. This includes Village Boulevard, John's Pass and John's Pass Park. This accounts for 80% of the revenue that the City collected in parking receipts. Commissioner Oakley said she wanted to know just what John's Pass generates. The City Manager said that Village Boulevard generated 44% of the revenue or $230,000 during those months. Commissioner Hodges said she would like to see the $125,000 put into John's Pass Village and the 25 cents put into John's Pass as well. Commissioner Douthirt said there are other businesses in town and it is not right to put it all to John's Pass. He is for having the money designated for infrastructure but not locked up for John's Pass. Mayor Black and Commissioner Oakley agreed that the money should be put toward infrastructure and then some of it can go toward John's Pass. Commissioner Douthirt agreed that the BP funds should be put towards John's Pass. Commissioner Oakley said there are things needing to be taken care ofin John's Pass. This needs to happen before issues become bigger problems. Mayor Black said there are two different issues: the BP money and the 25 cents allocation. Vice-Mayor Weinstein said the 25 cents should go into an infrastructure fund because there are so many areas that need to be considered. The City Center needs a generator and she will work diligently to make sure John's Pass is improved. BOARD Of COMMISSIONERS MEETING MINUTES REGULAR MEETING June 12, 2018 Page 8 of 19 Commissioner Douthirt said they can come back and redo the resolution in the future. Vice-Mayor Weinstein said she would like to put the $125,000 on hold until they know how it is going to be spent. It should be placed on the next budget meeting. Vice-Mayor Weinstein said she will be more comfortable looking at this from a full plan. The City Manager said everything they do over the City Manager's threshold has to come back to the Board. He would like the money to be set aside now so he can meet with the merchants with an amount. Vice-Mayor Weinstein said they need a visioning plan for future improvements in John's Pass. She does not want to commit to the $125,000. Commissioner Douthirt said he is okay with the $125,000 but would like to see a list of projects. The City Manager said they can discuss capital projects in the Pass during the CIP discussion. Commissioner Douthirt motioned to adopt Resolution 2018-05, Parking Revenue(s) with the addition of the $125,000 allocated from the BP money for John's Pass and 25 cents designated for infrastructure and 25 cents towards debt. Vice-Mayor Weinstein said she still would like to wait for the City Manager to go over capital projects. Vice-Mayor Weinstein amended the motion to adopt Resolution 2018-05, designating 25 cents to infrastructure and 25 cents to the debt service payments. Commissioner Oakley seconded the motion. Mayor Black opened public comment. Matthew Powers with Mad Beach Brewing Company said he is disheartened at the lack of foresight. They are doing their job at John's Pass and they would like the City to invest as well. They should do their part. He likes that the Board is willing to invest in John's Pass but would like to see something set aside for them. Woody Pershing with Woody's Water Sports said he is a property owner and he does pay property tax and is very proud of John's Pass. Everyone that visits Madeira Beach mentions John's Pass. It is a destination in the Tampa Bay area. He is requesting the City to do their part and cover the capital expenses. There is a lot of turn over on the Board. He would like to have a voice in what gets completed. Doreen Moore, 13019 Boca Ciega Avenue and 13030 Gulf Blvd., commented that in 2002 when she was a sitting Commissioner they did make improvements in John's Pass. She explained that there was a time that the City had a dedicated fund to take care ofJohn's Pass. The fund went away years ago. There needs to be a plan on what needs to be done. The Commission is in a cleanup mode right now. She believed that the Board is going to make a conscious effort to take care of the Pass. BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS MEETING MINUTES REGULAR MEETING June 12, 2018 Page 9 of 19 Tom Powers, 12945 Village Blvd., said the state used to own the 100-foot strip in John's Pass and then gave it to the City. When the City put in the parking meters, they promised that the money would be used for upkeep in the Village. This has never happened. He works hard to pull traffic into the area through his business. This feeds the meters. The meter rates continue to rise, but the money does not come back to them. Charlotte Hunter, owner of Wild Time Caribbean, said she operates the store. People complain to her about the meters not working and the cost to them. People will not be happy with the rates being increased. If there is an increase the money needs to go back to the Pass. They need to look at creating line items to put in the budget. She recommended that they not charge for parking during the down time of the year in the evenings. Jim Hunter, Wild Time Caribbean, 996 Ashley Drive, said he is confused that the City is not comfortable releasing $125,000 of the BP money for John's Pass, when John's Pass brings in 44% ofthe parking revenue. They would not have gotten that amount ofBP money without John's Pass. Mayor Black closed public comment. ROLL CALL: Vice-Mayor Weinstein "YES" Commissioner Oakley "YES" Commissioner Douthirt "YES" Commissioner Hodges ''NO" Mayor Black "YES" The motion carried 4-1. 8. CONTRACTS/AGREEMENTS A.

The parking area will be for valet service for customers. They would like to make a contract with the valet service to maintain the customer base and accommodate the employee base. Commissioner Douthirt asked what will happen if construction is not completed in one year. Ms. Powell said they would work with the City to extend the contract. Commissioner Douthirt said once the condos are constructed they would no longer have the parking. Ms. Powell said the lower level would be for the restaurant as well as the marina. Vice-Mayor Weinstein said the agreement requires $500,000 of liability insurance and to name the City as a coinsured on the policy. She requested a copy of that insurance policy.

Mayor Black commented that she is willing to waive the fees if they can lower the City's membership fees from $5,000 to $1,000. Ms. Miller said they do not get $5,000 from Madeira Beach. Commissioner Oakley said she is willing to waive the fees but not the hard costs to the City, like staffing, or setup fees. Ms. Miller said she would need to know what the staffing and other fees are, and Commissioner Oakley explained. Vice-Mayor Weinstein said this opens the waiver of fees for all nonprofits. The idea of this building was to make money when they rent it out. The responsible thing would be to charge the rate listed in the fee schedule. Commissioner Hodges asked if there is anything they can do in John's Pass regarding the parking fees on Small Business Saturday. The City Manager said on p. 20 of the budget, show that $5,000 that has been set aside for contribution to Treasure Island Madeira Beach Chamber of Commerce. They had conversations this week with local businesses and discussed opportunities on how to promote Small Business Saturday. They spoke about not charging for parking to promote the event. This would be a policy decision by the Board. If the Board would like to do this, staff is recommending that parking fees be waived throughout the City. Mayor Black suggested that they discuss the waiver of fees in a workshop. Director Hatch commented that they have reserved the facility for this weekend. This is typically not a busy weekend and it would minimally involve recreation staff. Commissioner Douthirt suggested that Robin consider the payment for staff fees. Ms. Miller said she has the authority to decide. Commissioner Douthirt asked what charities they would donate to. Ms. Miller said they have a list of the not-for-profit charities that are members of the Tampa Bay Beaches Chamber that have been voted on by community members. They have one round more ofvoting. Commissioner Hodges commented she was in favor of waiving the fees for the event and said it will bring people to the community. Ms. Miller said they will also have table top setups for businesses to sell their products. Waiving parking would be great publicity for the event.

They looked at a two and three-year extension. Both had the same interest rate, but the three-year extension has a smaller payment.

The owner of the property requested the City to review the charges that Pinellas County had billed possibly in error for utilities. He read the account information into the record. After the demolition of the two structures the cost for refuse should not have been charged. No one communicated this to Pinellas County Utilities. They now have a procedure in place to notify county utilities once structures have been demolished. The charges assessed, equated $5,163.08 for refuse. They are recommending that this be corrected. They also had additional storm water charges that continued to accumulate which are fine. There will be an amount due to the City of $3,763.86. Pinellas County Utilities is aware ofthe situation. There were two liens on this property. A portion of this has been remitted to the City and they may have to pay some back out. Commissioner Douthirt asked if the owner of the property has any responsibility in notifying the utilities. The City Manager said usually the demo permit is the mechanism that is used for capping utilities. Staff is requesting the Board to waive the fee contingent that the City receives certified payment for money left outstanding.
