CALL TO ORDER Mayor Black called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. 2. INVOCATION AND PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE Commissioner Nancy Hodges gave the Invocation and led the Pledge of Allegiance. 3. ROLLCALL City Clerk Clara VanBlargan called the roll. 4. APPROVAL OF THE AGENDA The City Manager requested that the Board consider removing Agenda Item 6.D., Surplus List of Old Inventory Items, from the Consent Agenda, and making it the first item under New Business. He asked that Agenda Item 9.C., 2COP Alcoholic Beverage Application #2018-02 - The Sand Bar, under New Business be postponed to a future Board of Commissioners meeting. Commissioner Hodges asked that Agenda Item 7.B., Resolution 2019-02, Meetings of the Civil Service Commission, to be removed from the agenda. Vice-Mayor Weinstein said she would like to see that item remain on the agenda. Commissioners Hodges said according to the Civil Service January 8, 20 19, BOC Regular Meeting Minutes Page 1 of 15 Commission section of the City Charter, adopting a resolution would be in violation of the City Charter. It must be by ordinance. The City Attorney explained that the resolution repeated what is in the Code, which allows the Civil Service Commission to meet at least quarterly. To meet less than quarterly, it would require the adoption of an ordinance. The resolution allows for emergency meetings and grievance hearings. The Civil Service Commission has concluded its projects: the personnel handbook and the employee grievance hearing. They are back to their regular meeting schedule, once per quarter. It would be appropriate to discuss it somewhere on the agenda, to allow for public comment and discussion on the item. Commissioner Hodges read a section from the City Charter on the duties and powers of the Civil Service Commission. Vice-Mayor Weinstein said the amount of time spent by staff and the volunteers serving on the board, had been a waste of taxpayer money. So many things have been talked about and nothing had been really been worked on by any professionals regarding the duties and responsibilities of the Civil Service Commission. It is unfortunate that past Board of Commissioners have adopted everything by resolution, and the Civil Service Commission acted upon that. It needs to be discussed. The City Attorney said the item can be placed on the agenda for discussion, and that the resolution did not violate the Charter. Commissioner Douthirt suggested the item be moved to a workshop for discussion, and that it be presented in ordinance format. The City Attorney said it can be by ordinance, and the Board can limit the number of times they meet. Vice-Mayor Weinstein recommended placing the item on the January 29 th workshop meeting agenda. Commissioner Douthirt made a motion to approve the Agenda with the changes as discussed. Vice- Mayor Weinstein seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: Commissioner D6uthirt "YES" Vice-Mayor Weinstein "YES" Commissioner Hodges "YES" Mayor Black "YES" The motion carried 4-0. 4.1. PROCLAMATIONS 4.2. PRESENTATIONS A.

Veterans' Boat Parade Check Presentation (Verbal Presentation) - Jonathan Evans, City Manager Mayor Black thanked everyone who made the Veteran's Boat Parade happen and said it was truly a premier event. She recommended that the Board of Commissioners approve at a future meeting, a resolution for a five-year commitment to the Veterans' Boat Parade, along with a $5,000 contribution. City Manager Jonathan Evans explained how it was an honor to recognize America's most valuable and precious resources, the Veterans, and that the City was proud of the opportunity to partner with the Veterans' Boat Parade. He commended the leadership from the Board of Commissioners for making a five-year commitment to the Veterans' Boat Parade and committing to $5,000 in contribution to ensure the event will always happen in Madeira Beach. Curt Preisser, the City's Public Information Officer, showed a PowerPoint presentation on the Veteran's Boat Parade event. He introduced the co-chairs of the Veterans' Boat Parade, Rodger [Gurson?] and Pam Rasmussen, who presented a check to various veteran organizations from the money raised from the Veteran's Boat Parade. Ms. Rasmussen thanked the Mayor for the suggestion on the resolution and donation. She said their mission is to keep the money in Pinellas County to take care of their own veterans. She recognized the sponsors. Mayor Black called a five-minute recess at 6:41 p.m. 4.3.

Surplus List of Old Inventory Items - Walt Pierce, Finance Director Finance Director Walt Pierce explained the purpose of disposing old inventory items that were listed on the spreadsheet. He said he confirmed with staff on the items. Since 1995, there were 107 assets disposed of, missing, or not identifiable. Their asset value of $879,937 remained on the books. Staff recommended approval of the list of assets to be disposed of and to be removed from the Finance Department's capital fixed asset software system for FY 2018. This will make the accounting system more accurate. Director Pierce responded to questions and comments by the Board. He explained that the Finance Department needed a new tracking system for assets. Currently, the minimum number for tracking an asset is $5,000. It would be better to track items, such as laptops, printers, etc., that cost less than the $5,000. Depending on the item, the minimum for tracking could be $1,000. The tracking system comes with barcoding of assets capability, which allows for better control of the City's assets. Mayor Black opened to public comment. There was no public comment. Vice-Mayor Weinstein made a motion to accept staffs recommendation to approve of the list of assets to be disposed of and to be removed from the Finance Department's capital fixed asset software system for FY 2018. Commissioner Douthirt seconded the motion.

ROLL CALL: Commissioner Hodges "YES" Commissioner Douthirt "YES" Vice-Mayor Weinstein "YES" Mayor Black "YES" The motion carried 4-0. C. Resolution 2019-01, Adopting Peer Cities for Analysis/Comparable(s) - Jonathan Evans, City Manager City Clerk Clara VanBlargan read Resolution 2019-01 by title only. City Manager Jonathan Evans said pursuant to the decision made by the Board of Commissioners on December 18, 2018, City staff reviewed a couple of municipal entities that were considered peer agencies. When going forward with the compensation and classification study, they looked at nine entities for comparing wages and benefits. In conversations with the Board, they really wanted to drill down to the five agencies that are considered the City's true comparable. When doing projects and analysis throughout the organization the five agencies will be used for the survey to get their opinion and perspective on a multitude of different things. The five cities articulated to the Board on December 18th meeting were the City of Treasure Island, the City of St. Pete Beach, the City of Indian Rocks Beach, the City of Gulfport, and the City of South Pasadena. The nine entities that were utilized for the purposes of compensation and classification analysis the City is embarking on and will finally be completed in May are the City of Treasure Island, the City of St. Pete Beach, the City of Indian Rocks Beach, the City of Seminole, the City of Belleair, the City of Gulfport, the City of Kenneth City, the City of South Pasadena, and the City of Pinellas Park. When looking at the entities, a multitude of different things were considered, such as their General Fund, type of services provided, and their geographical location. When the Board directs staff to do projects and initiatives, the five entities will be looked at for comparison. In the event the Board would like to include more for the purposes of providing additional information, it will be expanded to the nine entities. January 8, 2019, BOC Regular Meeting Minutes Page 9 of15 Vice-Mayor Weinstein thanked the City Manager for putting it together, and said they now, do not have to decide what entities would be used for comparison. Mayor Black opened to public comment. There was no public comment. Commissioner Hodges made a motion to adopt Resolution 2019-01. Vice-Mayor Weinstein seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: Commissioner Hodges "YES" Vice-Mayor Weinstein "YES" Commissioner Douthirt "YES" Mayor Black "YES" The motion carried 4-0. D. 2COP Alcoholic Beverage Application #2018-02 - The Sand Bar, 121129th Avenue East, Madeira Beach - Linda Portal, Community Development Director Linda Portal, Community Development Director, explained that staff proposed discontinuance of the item at that time, due to issues with overlapping permitting and code enforcement that must be resolved before going forward. The item can be brought back to the Board at its next regular meeting. Mayor Black said the item was tabled until the information is received. E. 2COP Alcoholic Beverage Application #2018-04 - Madeira Beach Juicerie, LLC, 15026 Madeira Way, Madeira Beach - Linda Portal, Community Development Director Community Development Director Linda Portal reviewed the item. Commissioner Douthirt commented in opposition of allowing package sales in sealed containers. Director Portal said the item must be listed, because that is the state's definition. It is not the intent of the applicant. The item can be approved without allowing package sales as part of the use. Vice-Mayor Weinstein commented that she did not recall package sales being a part of a 2COP alcoholic beverage license and asked if the state had recently changed that. Director Portal said the last few that were approved included it. They are using the state's definition. She said surprisingly when reading it again, she did not remember that in the past, and did not know when, and if that had changed. Vice-Mayor Weinstein commented that she agreed with Commissioner Douthirt, because she had seen a lot of bottles and cans thrown on the streets on her walks. She is in favor of consuming the alcohol, but not in favor of package sales unless they are required by law. Director Portal explained how package stores generated a lot of vehicle and foot traffic. January 8, 2019, BOC Regular Meeting Minutes Page 10 of15 Mayor Black opened to public comment. [Due to technical difficulties with the microphone, some parts of the public comment could not be heard.] Gary Payne, owner of property at 155 G., Madeira Way, commented in opposition of approving the item, because of noise and public drunkenness concerns. Peg Morgenstern, 15000 Gulf Blvd., # 1004, Madeira Beach, asked if the bar would be serving food with their alcohol. Mayor Black said she believed they would be serving food. Ms. Morgenstern said bars serving alcohol needed responsible bar tenders that would be aware when people had too much to drink. Bill Gay, 423 150th Avenue, commented on noise pollution coming from the bars and how everyone living around the bars were affected by the loud noise. He said control needed to be exercised. Guy Critelli, 13205 Pelican Lane, recalled the City at one time having an ordinance controlling how many feet in distance between each bar, and how that distance shortened over time. When the bars have drinking parties at night, things get crazy, and the music gets louder after 6:00 p.m. With double pane windows he cannot hear his television. He had not seen a sheriff go by there in weeks. The ordinance in place measuring the decibels sound needed to be enforced. Lexie Davies, 247 Rex Place, co-owner of Madeira Beach Juicerie, explained how their place of business was a restaurant and not a bar, and that they catered to more of a healthier crowd with smoothies, etc. The beer and wine would accommodate those coming in looking for Sangria wine, and those asking for wine to be mixed in their smoothie. Their hours of operation are 7:00 p.m., at the latest on weekends, and they do not plan to have loud music. [?], employee of 247 Rex Place, commented in favor of the Juicerie, and how they wanted to expand and grow with the City. The City Manager said, regarding the complaints in the community, the City's Code speaks specifically to those type of situations. He had Deputy Snyder explain both the county's ordinance and the City's ordinance, since there seemed to be confusion between them. Director Portal said she would put together a summary of both the county's ordinance and the City's ordinance and what applies to what and provide that information to the deputies to make them aware of it to avoid confusion. Commissioner Douthirt asked if the City needed to supply the deputies with decibel readers to correct the problems. The City Manager explained that the Code did not call for decibel readers. The Code would have to be modified. The City Attorney suggested modifying the noise ordinance. He was in the process of doing that for another City. January 8, 2019, BOC Regular Meeting Minutes Page 11 of15 Mayor Black suggested discussing it at a workshop meeting. Commissioner Douthirt suggested looking at other city ordinances to give them an idea of what is needed. The City Manager said they needed to obtain the noise ordinance from other cities to make a comparison, do a thorough analysis, and bring that to the Board in February for discussion. Deputy Shannon Roxby made comment. The owner of Mad Beach Dive Bar commented in support of the Juicerie getting its 2COP alcoholic beverage license. Mayor Black closed to public comment. Commissioner Douthirt made a motion approving the 2COP Alcoholic Beverage Application #2018-04 for the Madeira Beach Juicerie, LLC, 15026 Madeira Way, Madeira Beach, minus the package sales in sealed containers. Vice-Mayor Weinstein seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: Commissioner Douthirt "YES" Vice-Mayor Weinstein "YES" Commissioner Hodges "YES" Mayor Black "YES" The motion carried 4-0. F. 4COP Alcoholic Beverage Application #2019-01 - Frabotta's Beach Kitchen & Saltwater Hippie Beach Bar at Frabottas - Linda Portal, Community Development Director Community Development Director Linda Portal reviewed the item. She explained that the item is for an expansion of use. Both businesses included in the joint request have a 2COP license. They processed a unity of title to bring the properties together, applied for some site plan work and building expansions to tie the buildings together, so they can operate as one single operation, restaurant and bar. It includes outside activities in the courtyard area. Mayor Black opened to public comment. Kate Wells, attorney representing Madeira Beach Town Center, explained that if the item is approved it will be known as Frabotta' s Beach Kitchen & Saltwater Hippie Beach Bar at Frabottas. She confirmed that they were not seeking the approval for package sales. If approved it will be limited to on premises consumption, which is a condition of approval of a state liquor license. The type 4COP liquor license they are seeking limits consumption to on premises and does not allow for package sales. Mayor Black closed to public comment. January 8, 2019, BOC Regular Meeting Minutes Page 12 of15 Director Portal confirmed that the business establishments met the five criteria required for approval of the 4COP alcoholic beverage license application. The City Attorney read the five criteria for approval. Following discussion, Commissioner Douthirt made a motion to approve the 4COP Alcoholic Beverage Application #2019-01, for Frabotta's Beach Kitchen & Saltwater Hippie Beach Bar at Frabottas, pending City's planning's approval, and that the package sales in sealed containers be removed. Commissioner Hodges seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: Commissioner Douthirt "YES" Commissioner Hodges "YES" Vice-Mayor Weinstein "YES" Mayor Black "YES" The motion carried 4-0. 10. STAFF REPORTS A. Madeira Way Market Report-Jay Hatch, Recreation Director Jay Hatch, Recreation Director, provided an update on the Madeira Way Market events. The City Clerk distributed an updated revenue expense sheet. Director Hatch explained that with the assistance of merchants on Madeira Way, the developer of the Town Center, and Recreation staff, they successfully completed three markets. The financial contribution was received today from the developer, and to continue the market, they have the developer's commitment. The total staff time, advertising costs, etc. is $2,400. As far as the expense by the City and with the Developer's payment, it is even. With everyone's assistance and the Chamber's willingness to help advertise more, the market will be more successful in the future. At the direction of the City Manager, staff would like to continue having a successful market on Madeira Way. The City Manager explained that since the inception of the market, they have collected a little over $100.00 in fees from those that participated in the market. A financial contribution was received from the developer to assist in the market. The road closure fee was the one of the biggest costs. The City charges $1,000.00 for road closures. Realistically, that hard cost is about $400.00. The developer's contribution and the revenues collected associated with the market, offsets that cost. He asked the Board to consider assisting the market to April. He said in individual conversations with each Commissioner, the possibility of transitioning the market after March was discussed, and for the City to continue helping them through season. There will be a break before starting the market again. At that point, they have an opportunity to determine if they are going to establish a 50l(C)(6) or partner with the Chambers of Commerce to have the market come back. The City is well within budget due to the contributions received. Mayor Black opened to public comment. January 8, 2019, BOC Regular Meeting Minutes Page 13 of 15 Nicolette Halton, 10536 65 th Avenue, Seminole, reported there are no tentative dates for vendors. There should be an increase in vendors. Five are already asking when the next markets will be. The merchants are loving it and are willing to keep going. She thanked the Board for its support. Vice-Mayor Weinstein said she was in favor if the $5,000 contribution will last, but she did not think the City should commit any more City funds until determining the intent of the developer on that contribution. The City Manager commented that City of Madeira Beach based businesses do not pay to participate in the market. That is a huge benefit to local businesses. The other entities help to offset the costs. As the market grows, revenue will also grow. Commissioner Douthirt made a motion to continue supporting the market until April. Commissioner Hodges seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: Commissioner Douthirt "YES" Commissioner Hodges "YES" Vice-Mayor Weinstein "YES" Mayor Black "YES" The motion carried 4-0. 11.
