In accordance with the Board ofCommissioners Policy Handbook the Dais Log Review is
provided to update and explain any item that is presented on the Board of Commission

Log by City Manager approval.
5. PUBLIC COMMENT
Public participation is encouraged. Ifyou are addressing the Commission, step to the podium
and state your name and address for the record. Please limit your comments to three (3)
minutes and do not include any topic that is on the agenda. Public comment on agenda items
will be allowed when they come up.
Mayor Black opened the meeting to public comment and the City Attorney read the Civility Pledge
and asked that everyone be civil and kind. He said there was no requirement for public comment.
If somebody violated the Civility Pledge, is disrespectful or causes a personal attack, they will
forfeit the remainder of their three minutes for that public comment period.
John Hendricks, 569 Normandy Road, commented that when the Commission ran for office, they
promised respect, integrity, open government, and civility. The findings released from the Florida
Commission on Ethics on December 7th regarding the complaint filed against Commissioner
Oakley were against her. It was recommended that she pay a $5,000 fme, and there be a public
censure and a public reprimand. Commissioner Oakley violated the promises she made when
running for office and violated the trust of the residents of Madeira Beach. Because of that,
Commissioner Oakley should resign and if not, she should be removed from office and another
December 11, 2018, BOC Regular Meeting Minutes Page 2 of14
Commissioner be appointed to serve until the March election. He said according to one of the
charter amendments just passed that the Board put on the ballot, Madeira Beach may be on the
hook to pay Commissioner Oakley's fines and legal fees. Mr. Hendricks said to Commissioner
Oakley that she had been found guilty and it was time to step down.
At the request of Mayor Black, City Attorney Ralf Brookes explained the appeal process for
Commissioner Oakley and said that it is only at the recommended stage and not the final stage.
The City does not get into the process at this point, but when there is a final order, the City can
review the other issues that are raised about attorney fees and penalties. Under the Charter, the
City does not pay any penalties, but there is an issue whether legal fees would be reimbursed.
Doug Andrews, 90 141 st A venue, commented on spending of taxpayer funds. He said in an email
he received that was sent to him and to the Commission on September 21 st it was stated that the
forensic audit in its entirety would be completed early to mid-October and would be available for
public consumption at that time. It is December 11 th and that has not happened. Why spend $50,000
on an audit and not have the results. Mr. Andrews said for a recent employee grievance hearing,
the City hired four attorneys, using taxpayer funds, to battle a young woman with no legal
experience and he would like to know how much money was spent on that. He said he holds in his
hand, a final judgement from the State of Florida against former City Manager Derryl O'Neal. He
was stealing money from the City while he was here. He asked why an employee found guilty of
stealing from the City in a State investigative ethics violation still has a job with the City when an
employee was fired because of an uncollaborated rumor that happened at a bar one night.

City will be enforcing the sign code.
Director Portal responded to questions and comments by the Board.
Mayor Black opened to public comment.
Lauree Tyner, 4996 Miramar Drive, asked if flutter signs could be limited to one per business
instead of outlawing them.

down the roads and that has increased the sign blight. She encouraged the Board to foster small
businesses but to find a way that would work for everyone.

Jonathan Evans, City Manager
City Manager Jonathan Evans reviewed Agenda Item 8.B. and explained the following as
stated in the three-year proposed contract proposal:
FY 2019-FY 2021 Contract Proposal
1. A three-year contract (2018-2021) with a 3% increase in FYI 9, an increase of 1% in FY20,
and an increase of 1% in FY2 l, all of which will be in addition to their ("IAFF") current
step program, which is 3% annually. Additionally, the City will accept a wage reopener in
the third year, 2021.
a. Whereby both parties agree to discuss the findings communicated in the
compensation and classification study, this provision is activated only if a 5%
difference is identified as part of the compensation and classification study.
b. The study is projected to be completed in FYI 9.
2. A deposit of $750 will be put into a health savings account for any fire personnel who
selects the high-deductible health plan with a health savings account, for as long as the plan
is offered.
3. The City has tentatively agreed to fund supplemental cancer coverage for each actively
employed member of this collective bargaining unit.
4. Both holiday pay and time will remain the same.
5. Personal days will now be referred to as "Floating Holidays" to be consistent with city
holidays.
6. Educational reimbursement and leave will remain the same and must be approved by the
Fire Chief.
7. Upon having full staffing, educational leave will be a paid benefit for on-duty employees.
8. Bereavement leave will include aunts and uncles depending on the State Statutes definition
to ensure consistency between the statutes and the existing city policy (to be determined).
9. Fire inspector verbiage will be added to the contract, as a represented employee of IAFF
Local 4966.
10. Sick leave pay will remain the same.
11. A promotional policy for Driver Engineer will be added to the contract.

December 11, 2018, BOC Regular Meeting Minutes Page 5 of 14
13. The City will propose childcare for fire personnel that will be at no cost to the employee,
prospectively, but it will not take effect unless the establishing Ordinance is amended.
14. The contract will take effect retroactively, dating back to October 1, 2018.
The City Manager said it was important to note that in their previous three-year contract the
firefighters received 1% less than the general employees during that time.
The City Manager responded to questions and comments by the Board. He said that currently
City employees do not receive free childcare and that he would like to bring back to the Board
to consider as part of the modified fees ordinance to allow for afterschool care to be afforded
to all the employees and not just the firefighters, and that is his recommendation to allow for
that.
Mayor Black opened to public comment. There were no comments made.
Vice-Mayor Weinstein made a motion to adopt Resolution 2018-24, a contract between the
City of Madeira Beach for the term of three years, 2018-2021, and recommended that the City
Manager present modification to the fee ordinance to address item 13, as articulated.
Commissioner Oakley seconded the motion.

ROLL CALL:
Vice-Mayor Weinstein "YES"

Commissioner Douthirt "YES"
Mayor Black "YES"
The motion carried 5-0.
C. Redington Fire Services Contract - Derry! 0 'Neal, Fire Chief
Fire Chief DerryI O'Neal reviewed Agenda Item 8.C.
Vice-Mayor Weinstein said when discussed previously, it was said after accepting the agreement,
a study would be done to find out why we started with the amount we did. The City Manager
explained that if the contract is executed, staff would like to commence the process of putting out
a solicitation for a firm to come in and look at the costs for providing fire suppression services
here within the City of Madeira Beach as well as the contractual entities that are in partnership
with the City and then bring forward what those findings are to the Board. That would be the
mechanism in allowing the City to renegotiate the terms and conditions of the agreement. There
are other things that the Chief is consistently watching as it relates to the fire station that is looking
to be constructed north of the City in the Redington communities to provide service. It is important
to execute the contract between both the entities and we may find ourselves in a situation where
December 11, 2018, BOC Regular Meeting Minutes Page 6 of14
we can be the sole fire suppression provider for the Redington communities depending on how the
conversations go with the county, Sunstar, and the other communities. After execution of the
contract, more research will be done and based on his conversations with the Chief and the funding
structure in place, in the event that would happen there would be more than adequate funding
available to provide the services and apparatus to service those communities at no additional costs
or burden to the Madeira Beach taxpayers. We want to make sure that our community is not
subsidizing another community and that the full freight is being spent. In past relationship, we
have been providing services, but we cannot ask for an increase when we do not have a good
indication of what the costs are in providing those services. We will find out what the costs of
providing the actual services.
Chief O'Neal reported the status of the new fire station to be constructed.
Commissioner Oakley made a motion to approve the interlocal agreements providing
fire suppression and EMS services to the Redington communities. Vice-Mayor Weinstein
seconded the motion.
ROLL CALL:
Commissioner Oakley "YES"
Vice-Mayor Weinstein "YES"
Commissioner Hodges "YES"
Commissioner Douthirt "YES"
Mayor Black "YES"
The motion carried 5-0.
9. NEW BUSINESS
A. Ordinance 2018-16, Ordinance placing Charter Amendments on the March 12, 2019
Municipal Ballot - 1st Reading - Clara VanBlargan, City Clerk/Election Official; Ralf
Brookes, City Attorney
City Clerk Clara VanBlargan read Ordinance 2018-16 by title only and reviewed the item.
Commissioner Hodges asked if another meeting would be held to explain the amendments to the
public. The City Clerk said there will be a public hearing on the ordinance on January 8, 2019 and
then public forums will be scheduled.
City Attorney Ralf Brookes made corrections to Charter Amendment #12, Alternative 1, on Pages
15 and 16. On page 16, #6 is crossed out and it should not be. The Civil Service Commission
would like to continue doing grievance hearings the same as they do now. On Page 15, the
introductory will be left in, so #6 becomes #1 and #8 will be #2.
The City Attorney said the Board will be deciding on what the amendment would be to the Civil
Service Commission section. There are two alternatives to consider. The Board had previously
December 11, 2018, BOC Regular Meeting Minutes Page 7 of 14
discussed removing Charter Amendment #6, regarding the recall procedure on Page 8. He
suggested that the Board delete unnecessary charter amendments to avoid voter fatigue.
Mayor Black opened to public comment.
Doreen Moore, Chair of the Charter Review Committee, said from the in-depth discussion on the
Civil Service Commission, Commissioner Douthirt had recommended that the Civil Service
Commission section be removed for further discussion. Commissioner Douthirt said when making
their recommendation he will do that.
Vice-Mayor Weinstein, regarding Charter Amendment #2, Section 3.5. Consecutive Term Limit,
on Page 3, asked if the beginning date of March 13, 2018 was correct. The City Attorney said it
should be March 13, 2019 and he will make the correction.
Vice-Mayor Weinstein, regarding Charter Amendment #6, Recall, on Page 8, said if the Board
decided to keep Charter Amendment #6, she would like the word "notify" replaced with a better
word. Commissioner Douthirt suggested using the word "advise." The City Attorney said he will
change "notify residents of' procedures... to "cross reference" procedures.... The Board
consented.
Vice-Mayor Weinstein, regarding Charter Amendment #7, Induction of Newly Elected
Commissioners, on Page 9 of 20, said it was discussed that the adoption of the rules for Board
procedures is supposed to be 90 days and not 60 days after the election. The City Attorney said he
will make the correction.
Vice-Mayor Weinstein, regarding Charter Amendment #11, Investigation Procedures, on Page 12,
said she would like the word "state" replaced with the word "delegate." The City Attorney said he
will make the change and suggested some rewording of the sentence to state, "This charter
amendment would amend the section of the charter concerning investigations by the Board of
Commissioners to delegate investigations into the internal affairs of the City by appointing a
Charter Officer to investigate internal affairs of the City." The Board consented.
Vice-Mayor Weinstein, regarding Charter Amendment 11, Citizens' Initiative Referendum
Procedures, on Page 13, asked if the wording needed to be changed to make the amendment
clearer. The City Attorney read the amendment aloud and made changes to the amendment. The
Board consented.
The Board discussed the Charter Amendments in the proposed ordinance.
Commissioner Douthirt made a motion to approve Ordinance 2018-16 after first reading and to
eliminate Charter Amendment 12, Option 1 and 2 until the City brought back a more in-depth
study on the duties and responsibilities of the Civil Service Commission. He said the amendment
could be placed on the November ballot instead of the March ballot if more time is needed to do
the study. The existing language will stay as is for now. Commissioner Oakley suggested looking
at the personnel manual, City charter, and the code to see what the conflicts are. The City Manager
added comment. Following discussion, Commissioner Oakley seconded the motion.

Mayor Black "YES"
The motion carried 5-0.
Mayor Black commended Chair Doreen Moore and the Charter Review Committee for a
tremendous job on the City charter.
Commissioner Douthirt asked Doreen Moore, Chair of the Charter Review Committee,
what her vision was going forward. Ms. Moore said the City charter was written in 1948
and there had not been a lot of revisions. She does not see the need for a continuation of
the Charter Review Committee except for reviewing the charter again in five or ten years.
It would be the responsibility of staff to ask for the review at some point in the future.
Commissioner Douthirt suggested reviewing the Charter again in five years. The Board
consented.
B. Ordinance 2018-17, Amending Division 2. Same - Lot, Yard, Height and Other Site
Area Regulations, Sec. 110-428. Side Yard of Corner Lot - Amending depth of side
yard setback - 1st Reading - Linda Portal, Community Development Director
City Clerk Clara VanBlargan read Ordinance 2018-17 by title only.
Community Development Director Linda Portal reviewed the item and explained the changes
made to the ordinance based on the recommendation made when previously discussed by the
Board. Commissioner Oakley said she thought that the district language on Page 1 of the ordinance
would be taken out. Director Portal said she would make the change to make it the same across
the board.
Mayor Black opened to public comment. There were no public comments.
Commissioner Oakley made a motion to approve Ordinance 2018-17, amending Code of
Ordinances Division 2, lot, yard, height, and other site area regulations, and Sec. 110-428, side
yard of corner lot - amending depth of side yard setback, after first reading with the change of

Director
Community Development Director Linda Portal explained that a second application was received
after publication of the agenda.
The City Manager said the second application was received from J. Roger Pryor and he currently
serves on the Budget Review Committee. The responsibility of the Committee is to look at the
City's operating budget and the Capital budget. If Mr. Pryor is considered for appointment to the
Planning Commission, the City Attorney would need to do additional research to make sure there
is. no conflict with him serving on both committees. He recommended postponing the item until
the legal opinion is obtained.
Commissioner Oakley asked Mr. Pryor which board he would like to serve on and Mr. Pryor
suggested that he not decide until after the research. The City Attorney explained the issue of dual
office holding and said a person can hold two committee positions if they are not both final
decision-making positions. Since only one is a final decision-making committee, Mr. Pryor can
serve on both.
Mayor Black opened to public comment. There were no public comments.
Vice-Mayor Weinstein said she would like Mr. Blaser to come to the January 8th meeting and
introduce himself before making the appointment. The City Clerk said Mr. Blaser was asked to
come to the meeting but was unable to attend.

December 11, 2018, BOC Regular Meeting Minutes Page 12 of14
• City Commission
Vice-Mayor Weinstein reported on a Big C meeting she attended on December 5th and a Tampa
Bay Regional Planning Council meeting she attended with Director Portal the day before. She
announced that on December 12th at 6:00 p.m. and on December 13 th at 6:00 p.m. at City Hall there
will be the second neighborhood meeting for the John's Pass Resort project. The City Manager
said the meeting will be recorded and not livestreamed. Vice-Mayor Weinstein said the Board
never received the video or the report of the first neighborhood meeting and she thought that was
a requirement before having the second neighborhood meeting. The City Attorney said he would
have to look that up in the code. There were some changes proposed for major developments, but
he does not remember ifit had already been passed. He said that about the neighborhood meeting
on December 12th and 13 th , Director Portal had instructed the Planning Commission not to attend
the neighborhood meetings because they are supposed to base their decision on what is presented
in the quasi-judicial hearing before the Planning Commission. That is the same for the City
Commission. The City cannot prevent the Commission from going to the meeting however, if there
are two or more Commissioners going to the meeting it must be advertised that one or more elected
or appointed officials may be in attendance so there is not an inadvertent violation of the Sunshine
Law. This is a meeting that the developer is supposed to conduct with the neighborhood-to co)lect
information. If there is a video, the video can be watched and put into the record if the quasi-
judicial hearing or ahead of time and disclosed that the video was watched. The ·City Manager
explained that whenever in doubt to please call the City Manager or the City Attorney.
• City Attorney
• City Manager
City Manager Jonathan Evans reported that staff has been getting a good flow of letters to Santa
and encouraged all those watching the meeting on livestream to put their letter in the box for Santa
if they have not already done so and staff will make sure the letters get to where they needed to
go.
• City Clerk
The City Clerk announced that the Candidate qualifying period is from noon on December 12,
2018 through noon, January 11, 2019. The City Manager said for those individuals who would like
to become qualified candidates he would like to have an opportunity to hold a qualified candidate
forum, a workshop setting or discussion to help educate those folks as to what the expectations are
with regard to filling out the paperwork and what the Clerk needs so we do not find a situation
where folks violated election laws or waited until the last minute or assumed that they could walk
into the Clerk's Office at 11 :59 a.m. on January 11 th and get qualified. The City Clerk explained
she usually qualifies Candidates at different times during the Candidate qualifying period and
asked for clarification that she needed to hold off on accepting everybody's paperwork until they
attended a workshop first before getting qualified. The City Manager said that the workshop could
happen after the Candidates have been qualified.
