UNFINISHED BUSINESS- NONE I. NEW BUSINESS 1. LIEN SITTLEMENT CONSIDER OFFER OF SETTLEMENT FROM KELVIN GEORGE FOR SPECIAL MAGISTRATE LIENS ON 711 PRUITT DRIVE. CA: About a month ago the City was contacted with Kelvin George. Mr. George put this property under his twin brother's name while he was deployed oversees. Upon return, he was informed there were some Special Magistrate liens levied on the property mostly to do with the maintenance of the property. All violations were brought into compliance. He has asked for a reduction in settlement for the liens which covers the costs incurred by the City and an additional fine of nearly $2,000 for a grand total of $3,500. There was a lack of communication between the City and the property owner for putting the property into compliance. Mr. George is a retired military person and was overseas while these violations occurred. He also asks that this fact be taken into consideration. The City Manager and City Attorney are in agreement that this will suffice. A motion to approve the Lien Settlement for 711 Pruitt Drive was made by Commissioner Hodges and seconded by Commissioner Lister. · Mayor Palladeno: Has he been working to ·keep this property in compliance? CM: He has been working with the City to get this problem remedied. He has worked to get everything in line and has been very cooperative. The amount was higher than was expected and he thinks that the settlement is fair. Commissioner Lister: Wants to speak with the City Manager about what, if any penalties, will be applied to the contractor who failed to notify the property owner.

REPORTS/CORRESPONDENCE • CITY COMMISSION Mayor Palladeno: This Thursday starts the King of the Beach Fishing Tournament. Yesterday, he had a chance to speak with the Lieutenant Governor of the state of Florida. Wednesday, April 29th, a BIG-C Meeting will take place in Treasure Island. • CITY ATTORNEY - None • CITY MANAGER CM: Tomorrow, IT will be here to update the City iPads that the Commission has begun to use. The CA Attorney stressed that these devices are subject to Public Records and the Commission needs to be aware of that. There was also an article recently on the parking issue in Madeira Beach - which isn't necessarily a bad thing since it means that more and more people are visiting the City. He also brought up the notion of working with the school and having a Water Taxi via the school docks. We need to get the City used to the idea that they can travel by water. Transient docking will be going into John's Pass soon and the Marriott will have its grand opening soon. This makes a lot more sense than building a multi-million dollar parking structure. ~ommissioner Hodges: Have you considered doing an on-land taxi service? CM: He really wants to promote ~he town via the water. We could consider something for land as well for certain events. This came up because last week at the ROC Park Spaghetti Dinner, the parking was a major issue . .This needs to be figured out pretty quickly. By having the lots filled at the school and having a water taxi over to the City Centre, visitors get their parking issue alleviated and a ride on the bay. Mayor Palladeno: There are rough weather days, some people get sea sick - he thinks the City should still look into land travel or use the Jolly Trolley as well. • CITY CLERK - None K.
