RFP 20-10 Athletic Field Lighting - Jay Hatcll, Recreation Director Vice Mayor Price asked if the Recreation Department made an apples-to-apples comparison when grading the proposals received because two companies, one that does not have skin in the game, sent letters about deficiencies in the proposal of one of the chosen vendors. One allegation is that one of the accepted vendors did not include the soccer fields in the lighting, and therefore, their bid was lower. That is very technical and very concerning to her. The rating sheet for each proposal is almost identical. She asked Recreation Director Hatch if he had received the same information the Board received and asked him to straighten it out when negotiating with the vendor. The project is a lot of money. She wants to get the lighting done and does not want to go back and clean up. Director Hatch said he received the same letters, and they were going to work through it. He graded all vendors using the same grading sheet. There is much more they must get into, which will be part of the discussions. There is a possibility that if he got into every aspect of it, he could throw out every proposal based on what was asked for. It is a lot of money, and he wants to do it right. Vice Mayor Price motioned to approve the Consent Agenda. Commissioner Andrews seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: Vice Mayor Price "YES" Commissioner Andrews "'YES" Commissioner Hodges "YES" Commissioner Hutson "YES" Mayor Hendricks "YES" The motion carried 5-0.

Revisit Seawall Assessment - Megan Wepfer, Interim Public Works Director Commissioner Andrews said he asked that the item be revisited because the Public Works Director submitted his resignation. He wanted to make sure that the next Public Works Director hired has a chance to look at it before it goes forward. He suggested that they table the item until they get a new Public Works Director hired permanently. Vice Mayor Price said the item needed to be discussed at a workshop. They need to protect the assets in the City. Even if the new Public Works Director who gets hired is a sea wall expert, she would like a third person looking at the seawalls, assess what needs to be done and when, and what to budget each year. The company only does the assessment and not the repairs. She doesn't want to keep running around fixing things that break. There must be a maintenance plan in place. Commissioner Andrews agreed that a third party should look at it and the brake put on it for now. Mayor Hendricks said the item needed discussion at a workshop and he would like to hold off until they see who is hired for the position. Interim Public Works Director Megan Wepfer explained the process followed for maintaining and repairing seawalls in the past. There have been many replaced. She will put something together for the next workshop. Mayor Hendricks opened to public comment. There were no public comments. Commissioner Andrews motioned to reconsider the seawall assessment. Commissioner Hodges seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: Commissioner Andrews "YES" Commissioner Hodges "YES" Commissioner Hutson "NO" Vice Mayor Price "NO" Mayor Hendricks "YES" The motion carried 3-2. Commissioner Andrews motioned to table the seawall assessment to the workshop on March 24. Commissioner Hodges seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: Commissioner Andrews ''YES" Commissioner Hodges ''YES" Commissioner Hutson "YES" March 10, 2021, BOC Regular Meeting Page 7 of 14  Vice Mayor Price "YES" Mayor Hendricks "'YES" The motion carried 5-0. B. Palm Street Property - Vice Mayor Andrews Commissioner Andrews said since the item come up, there has been a lot of public comment received, and he would like to hear what people are saying. Vice Mayor Price said she likes the idea and would like to negotiate a good deal for the City. Mayor Hendricks said the old garage property for sale on 150th Avenue would better benefit the City. The building on the property is big enough to house public works and equipment. There is plenty of parking space that could be metered. The relocation would free up property at the Marina. Commissioner Hodges said at the recent opening for Caddy's, she noticed many people used the parking lot because there is not enough parking in that area. The Mayor said there are only ten spots there they already discussed and a 10-year payoff. He looked at the long-term investment. Interim Director Wepfer said the current public works area is limited, and her office is in a construction trailer. The equipment is stored outside. It gets ruined by the weather, and it goes missing all the time. The old garage property would be more beneficial to them. The City Manager said any property they buy requires them to get an appraisal. Property values might be higher today but lower tomorrow. Time is at an essence. He has the firm lined up to do the appraisal and needs Board direction. Mayor Hendricks suggested doing an appraisal on both properties and discussing them at the next workshop. They could determine what property is best for the City, or both properties could be best with the interest rates being so low. If they were only to purchase one property, he would rather it be the property on 150th Avenue. Financial Consultant Andrew Laflin said he would bring financial information to the Board showing the proposed numbers and available options. Vice Mayor Price asked to include information on what they are paying in rent offsite. Mayor Hendricks said the old garage property would expand land at the Marina for a high and dry storage facility to get more boats in there. Those facilities are earning from $22 to $25 a foot per month. That would be a win-win if they can move public works. Commissioner Hutson said someone had an idea adding street parking and one-direction traffic on Palm or 141 st Avenue to get more parking revenue without spending as much money. The Mayor said he thinks street parking would slim down after the initial opening of Caddy's. Caddy owners are working with the owner of Church by the Sea to rent their parking lot and have a shuttle going back and forth to the restaurant. March 10, 2021, BOC Regular Meeting Page 8 of 14 Mayor Hendricks opened to public comment. • The City Manager read an emailed comment from William Gay, no address provided, regarding the Palm Street property. Caddy's offered to sell the vacant property configured for parking for $430,000. Research showed that the Pinellas County Property Appraiser valued the vacant residential lot at $121,000 in 2017, which is less than the $250,000 Caddy's said they paid for the property in 2017. The acquisition of a parking lot is not in the current budget. The deal looks to be a win-win for Caddy's and a lose-lose for the taxpayers in Madeira Beach. He urged the City to reject the purchase. Robert Preston, 425 S. Bayshore Drive, said the item needed revisiting at a workshop. The old garage property would be a workable option for the City. Caddy's could probably ask for a variance for the vacant property on Palm Street to use it for parking. Vice Mayor Price motioned to put all land acquisitions on the next workshop. Commissioner Hutson seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: Vice Mayor Price "YES" Commissioner Hutson "YES" Commissioner Andrews "YES" Commissioner Hodges "YES" Mayor Hendricks "YES" The motion carried 5-0. 12. CONTRACTS/AGREEMENTS 13. NEW BUSINESS 14. WORKSHOP AGENDA SETTING - MARCH 24, 2021, BOC WORKSHOP MEETING A. Beach Tractor Purchase - Mega11 Wepfer, Interim Public Works Director B. Amendment to Code of Ordinances - Garbage Collection Policy - MeganWepfer, Interim Public Works Director C. Old Madeira Beach Garage Site for Sale - Mayor Hendricks D. Amendment to the BOC Policy Handbook - Board of Commissioners Mayor Hendricks said all land acquisitions would be added to the agenda. Vice Mayor Price said she would like to add a discussion on the agenda to come up with suggestions on how they could either update, shorten, or eliminate lengthy and outdated ordinances. Two ordinances are approved every month, and some are lengthy. Perhaps they could start with the lengthy sign ordinance. They could decide what to put in the next sign ordinance to make it simple and less lengthy. March 10, 2021, BOC Regular Meeting Page 9 of 14 Mayor Hendricks said they should not have ordinances that are not being enforced. The City Attorney said they need their sign code expert, Rob Eschenfelder, who works in his office, to explain to the Board why the sign ordinance is needed and why comers cannot be cut on it. Rob could review it and suggest updates. Most of the time, when they do the codes, it expands the language in the code to cover every instance, so the City is not being sued, there are not billboards in every comer, and the sign code is not thrown out because one part of it is ambiguous and other parts are not. They must be very careful with the sign code. He suggested that the Board appoint an ordinance review committee to review the code every five to seven years, the same as other cities do. The committee would consist of five to seven people that would meet once a month for about nine to twelve months to review the codebook from the front to the back. They meet with City staff and review other codes to bring recommendations to the Board for review. Each Commission member can attend those meetings individually and make comments, ask questions, or stress concerns. The committee would give a report to the Board for consideration. The Board would direct staff and the City Attorney to draft the appropriate ordinances they feel good about. The ordinance review committee would cut down the work of the Board substantially. The committee would be manned by himself, as the city attorney, and the city clerk or someone from her office would be there at every meeting to help the committee work through the process. The City Clerk said the attorneys with the Municipal Code Corporation, who codifies the City's ordinances, will be doing a complete legal review of the City's entire code to ensure federal and state law compliance. They will be drafting ordinances for the City Attorney to review and for the Board to consider. Vice Mayor Price asked to remove the ordinance review item she added to the workshop agenda since they will not be putting together a committee soon to review the code of ordinances because another group is reviewing it. Her concern was that they keep adding ordinances and do not take anything out. The City Manager added, update on the fireworks. Commissioner Hutson added Election campaign bank accounts. Commissioner Andrews added the requirements for a new Public Works Director and an update on where they are with certain day-to-day projects in public works. The City Manager gave the confirmation of direction: • Beach Tractor Purchase • Amendment to Code of Ordinances - Garbage Collection Policy • Land acquisitions: Old Madeira Beach Garage property and the Palm Street property • Amendment to the BOC Policy Handbook • Seawall assessment • Requirements for a Public Works Director • Election bank accounts March 10, 2021, BOC Regular Meeting Page 10 of14  • Fireworks update 15. STAFF REPORTS A. City Manager's Report - Robert Da11iels, City Ma11ager The City Manager said the Board received a copy of the City Manager's Report in the agenda packet. The Sheriffs Office corrected the January statistics on the Code Enforcement activities. That will be out to the Board by Friday in a separate document. There were several cases missed on the report, and they found a way for that not to happen in the future. Vice Mayor Price said regarding the City Manager's Report, instead of the Marina Director just including a fishing report in there, have him add a paragraph in the report on gas sales, merchandise sales, what they plan to do to make money, improvements to be made, developments, etc. C. Progress regarding the Pinellas County Park Parking Lot - Robert Daniels, City Manager The City Manager said he let Saltwater Destination know he was looking into it with the county to get the issues resolved, and they liked the progress being made. He got a copy of the county's franchise for their beach chairs on the City's beach. There was an arrangement where the City enforced the parking at the park, but the county still owned the county park since 1980. He has been researching to see if the City gave any money to the county to construct the county beach access park. There was $300,000 used for beach access, but he does not know if the money was part of that yet or not. If in their lease, it calls for mobile vending on the City's beach, that would not be allowed. He has a message to the county administrator to talk to him about the City's problems with business being conducted on the City's beach and how it can be rectified. He has letters going out Friday to the other beach vendors dealing with driving on the beach and expanding their operations off the private property. He is also looking at contacting all the condos along the beach area to let them know the City does have a sole exclusive franchise agreement with Saltwater Destination. Commissioner Andrews said he learned from a credible source that the county owned the property since 1978. The City of Madeira Beach worked out an agreement with the county at some point, allowing the City to maintain the land, and the City would get an unknown amount of the parking revenue. Sometime around 2007 and 2008, the county asked the City to obtain an indemnification policy to cover City employees working in the park if they were injured. The City declined, and the county stripped the City of all its involvement in the county park. Commissioner Andrews said he mentioned at the February 24 th workshop meeting that if the issue had not been cleared up by tonight's meeting, he would make a motion to suspend the payment from Saltwater Destination to the City until the problem gets resolved. He makes that recommendation tonight. Vice Mayor Price wanted to know what kept Saltwater Destination from putting their chairs out on the City's beaches. Because the Commission was not given a copy of the agreement in the March 10, 2021, BOC Regular Meeting Page 11 of 14 packet, she does not know the details and if the City had done anything wrong. If those vendors were there before approving the contract with Saltwater Destination, she does not know how they can complain about it now. Both parties knew exactly where the beach chairs would be located. If they have people encroaching from the condos onto the south beach or John's Pass Beach, they should be told to get off. Mayor Hendricks said the problem is a lack of enforcement. The City's ordinances and contracts are not being enforced. He had mentioned to Saltwater Destination they could put their chairs on down the beach, they have every right to do that, including in front of some of the condominiums at the end of their property line to the water. They have chosen not to do that. Commissioner Andrews said the City needed to enforce its contract with Saltwater Destination, which he asked to be done two weeks ago before tonight's meeting. Mayor Hendricks asked the City Manager to contact the county and get the issue resolved. Let the county's vendors know they need to move their chairs back behind the property line. The problem is lack of enforcement, and it has gone on too long. The City Manager said he has been doing what the City asked at the February workshop meeting. He has been trying to work out a solution to the beach problem. They could not get everything done in two weeks. He would like time to meet with the county administrator to see what can be done. Vice Mayor Price said when speaking to the county administrator, the discussion needs to be limited to their vendor they signed an agreement with is on the City's beach, and they need to be pushed back so the City's contractor can put their chairs out there. Mayor Hendricks said they needed to give the City Manager the time he needs to get with the county and the time he needs to get with the condominium and hotel owners with private vendors out there beyond the property line onto the City's property. It needs to be done right away. The vendors do not have a contract with the City to have their chairs out there. They need to move them back or sign a contract with Saltwater Destination to put their chairs out there. D. FY 2022 Budgeting Process -Andrew Laflin, Financial Consultant Financial Consultant Andrew Laflin gave a financial overview of the City's expenditures and revenues of various departments. The financial information both at the fund level and the department level are available online. He explained the new budgeting process and some technology-related changes that would be implemented across City departments. Mayor Hendricks said he heard that the state expects overall county by county revenues to be down by about 3% next year. They are expecting ad valorem taxes and property values to have a slight decline next year. The City's parks look like seven miles of blown up highway, and he would like to see money budgeted next year for that. He suggested that the parking meter fees be increased by at least a quarter to increase the revenues. The City's parking meter fees are the lowest, $2.50 an hour. The parking meter fees closest to that in another City is $2. 75. That needs to be looked at, along with a push on parking enforcement. March 10, 2021, BOC Regular Meeting Page 12 of 14 16.
