Every 10 years the Governor is required to review the membership composition and to reapportion as necessary.

REFUSE RATE ADJUSTMENT REQUEST – WASTE CONNECTIONS Administrator McGlothlin explained that Waste Connections is requesting a 6.4% rate increase. 5% per the conditions of the contract and a 1.4% disposal rate adjustment due to Pinellas County increase. Commission Discussion: Commissioner Licata asked if the increase was included in the budget. Yes. Commissioner Hoyt asked when did we find out about the increase? Early in the budget process. Administrator McGlothlin went on to say that Attorney Eschenfelder reviewed the contract and said since it was a rollover it was okay to proceed. Ms. Hoyt asked why wasn’t the Commission brought this information so the Town could try to negotiate? We had challenges with debris removal after Hurricane Debby. Mr. McGlothlin said normally rate increases are included in the new budget. Also with the contract rollover we were outside of our 120 day window. I did my due diligence to ask staff about their service. Everyone said their service was good. I told the Mayor the approval was within my authority. Commissioner Kapper agreed the majority of residents are happy with them. The Mayor added, there is a workshop agenda item planned for the future on Debris Management. Public Comment: None.

ORD 2024-05 UPDDATING THE TOWN CODE REGARDING BUILDING REGULATIONS IMPACTING FLOODPLAIN MANAGEMENT – 1ST READING Attorney Eschenfelder read the Ordinance. He explained these changes that have been requested for about 2 years and are required by FEMA and FDEM to continue membership with the National Flood Insurance (NFIP) program. These are items they have determined are inconsistent with current Federal regulations. Our previous Building Official (Vasquez) was asked to work on this. In light of the fact that we have had several emails from FDEM, taking this first step will illustrate we are working on 1  it. We can make additional changes prior to the 2nd reading if necessary. Public Comment: None. Commission Discussion: Mayor Hendrickson is not opposed to approving the Ordinance tonight on its 1st reading, but it needs to be workshopped before the 2nd reading. There is a lot of information in here and was brought to us during a crisis. Commissioners Kapper, Licata, and Schoos agree. Commissioner Hoyt pointed out, there are some major things in here. Why is FEMA telling us what we must put in our ordinance when it is in complete conflict with what our residents want? After what we just went through, we need major changes to our code. We have people who have no air conditioners because they were not high enough. There are major safety concerns that need to be considered. Also, there is no background explanation provided to us with this ordinance, like we usually get from staff. Attorney Eschenfelder said FEMA is insisting we include these updates in our code to stay in the NFIP program. This has nothing to do with CRS. The Florida Department of Emergency Management travels around the State to ensure codes are up to date and they identified ours as needing to be updated. Attorney Eschenfelder will send an email to Ms. Quinn, the FDEM consultant, to come to our workshop to provide an explanation. Commissioner Kapper moved to approve ORD 2024-05, seconded by Commissioner Licata. Vote taken: YES: 4 KAPPER, SCHOOS, LICATA, HENDRICKSON NO: 1 HOYT 6. COMMISSION REPORTS a. Mayor Commissioner Hendrickson - none b. Vice Mayor Commissioner Licata, District 4 – asked about late debris pickup. Yes, a 2nd push has been scheduled. Appliances are on the 3rd push. Chief Swann will check out any safety issues. c. Commissioner Kapper District 1 - none d. Commissioner Hoyt District 2 Commissioner Hoyt commented that in light of everything that has happened and all of the hardships on our residents, I would like the variance costs reviewed again to possibly alleviate some costs for our residents. She distributed a handout regarding variance costs and a comparison of costs of surrounding towns and noted that Redington Shores is comparatively high. Ms. Hoyt has requested that the topic of Variance costs be revisited on an upcoming Workshop agenda. e. Commissioner Schoos District 3 f. Town Attorney - none g.

Charter section 3 provides for a Commission form of government and does not reference a Town executive although one now exists. Should section 1 of the Charter be amended to add home rule and should section 3 be amended to recognize a Town Manager responsible for managing the Town’s administrative affairs? Yes No REFERENDUM QUESTION # 2 TOWN POWERS Section 4 of the Charter contains various outdated or preempted powers such as regulating dirigibles and creation of hospitals for the insane or indigent. Should section 4 be amended to remove these provisions and to add specific reference to the authority of the Commission to adopt and enforce property maintenance standards? Yes No REFERENDUM QUESTION # 3 COMMISSIONER REMOVAL AND STIPENDS Charter section 5 currently allows a disabled Commissioner to remain indefinitely on the Commission even if good cause for removal otherwise exists, and section 6 states Commissioners receive a salary even though they are not employees. Should Charter section 5 be amended to allow removal for good cause and should Charter section 6 be amended to provide Commissioners receive a stipend for their service? Yes No 1  REFERENDUM QUESTION # 4 ELECTION DISTRICTS Currently, Charter section 8 provides four election districts based on population. However, the Charter does not address the potential that one master homeowner or condominium association could be allowed to hold two district seats. Should section 8 of the Charter be amended to add that future election district lines should be drawn to avoid this outcome? Yes No REFERENDUM QUESTION # 5 INDUCTION INTO OFFICE; COMMISSION MEETINGS Currently, Charter section 10 addresses elections. However, it does not address induction into office and the current Charter language on that point (to be relocated to section 10) could result in two different dates for induction of a new Commissioner. Should section 10 of the Charter be amended to provide a more specific day for induction and to maintain current monthly Commission meetings? Yes No REFERENDUM QUESTION # 6 COMMISSION POWERS AND DUTIES Currently, both sections 11 and 16 of the Town Charter contain provisions outlining powers and duties of the Commission, at times in a redundant or less than consistent manner. Should sections 11 and 16 of the Charter be merged into one section setting forth the powers and duties of the Commission, including the power to adopted ordinances and budgets, and to appoint a Town manager, attorney, and clerk? Yes No 2  REFERENDUM QUESTION # 7 TREASURER DUTIES; CHARTER REVIEW Currently, section 17 of the Town Charter designates the Clerk as Treasurer and custodian of funds, although the Town has used qualified financial firms to provide financial services for many years and the Clerk has not served in that role. Should section 17 of the Charter be amended to remove this antiquated provision and instead to become a stand-alone section addressing the Town’s periodic charter review process? Yes No REFERENDUM QUESTION # 8 SIGNATURE REQUIREMENTS Currently, Charter section 18 requires every contract, bond, deed, and other instruments to be signed by the Clerk and Mayor or Vice Mayor. This requirement has become antiquated and in some cases is inconsistent with modern contracting methods and the Town’s procurement rules. Should section 18 of the Charter be repealed and state law be allowed to control what signatures are required on given Town documents? Yes No REFERENDUM QUESTION # 9 SIGNING AND PAYMENT OF WARRANTS Currently, Charter section 19 requires all warrants (payment authorizations) to be paid in the order presented, and to be signed by the Clerk. The Clerk no longer serves as Treasurer, and the Mayor and administrative officer review pay requests. Should section 19 of the Charter be amended to provide warrants must be paid in a timely manner, and signed by the Mayor/Vice-Mayor and Commission- authorized co-signer? Yes No 3  REFERENDUM QUESTION # 10 LOAN AND REVENUE BOND APPROVALS Currently, Charter section 22 requires 4/5 of the Commission to approve a revenue bond, and constrains loans to ½ of taxes levied in one year. Florida statutes address the municipal bond process, and a loan constraint may impair the Town’s ability to respond to major infrastructure damage. Should section 22 of the Charter be amended to remove the loan limitation and require bonds to be issued in accordance with state law? Yes No REFERENDUM QUESTION # 11 ETHICS IN CONTRACTING Currently, Charter section 28 prohibits the Commission from employing or contracting with any Commissioner or the Clerk, or their spouses or children. However, it does not mention their business partners, nor does it reference the Town administrative officer. Should section 28 of the Charter be amended to expressly reference the Florida Ethics Code, and to preclude contracting with a Commissioner, the Manager, the Clerk, or their respective spouses, children or business partners? Yes No REFERENDUM QUESTION # 12 BUDGET AMENDMENTS Currently, section 32 of the Charter provides the Mayor must consent to budget amendments. The Mayor is only ceremonial, and the Commission may approve a budget amendment by majority vote under its general powers. Should section 32 of the Charter be repealed to allow the Commission to amend budgets by a majority vote regardless of the Mayor’s consent? Yes No 4  REFERENDUM QUESTION # 13 TOWN NOTICES Currently, section 33 of the Charter addresses public notice methods centered on newspaper ads. Current Florida laws provides for additional electronic notice measures for those who may not subscribe to newspapers. Should Charter section 33 be amended to recognize and allow the Town to use all lawful forms of notice? Yes No REFERENDUM QUESTION # 14 MINOR ERRORS AND REDUNDANT PROVISIONS Currently, Charter section 9 unnecessarily references the Town Code. Section 14 states the Commission may adopt ordinances. Section 20 states the Clerk appoints deputies. Section 27 states the Commission has powers provided by law. Section 29 states the Clerk keeps Town records. Section 34 contains a grammar error. Should sections 9 and 24 be amended to correct their deficiencies and sections 14, 20, 27 and 29 be repealed as redundant? Yes No REFERENDUM QUESTION # 15 MAYORAL AUTHORITY Currently, Charter section 15 provides the Mayor’s powers are confined only to those in the Charter. However, various state statutes confer some added roles, duties or authority on municipal mayors, such as to receive service of process and to respond to emergencies. Should section 15 of the Charter be amended to clarify the Mayor’s authority is confined both to the Charter and state law? Yes No 5  REFERENDUM QUESTION # 16 FIRST COMMISSIONERS/FIRST CHARTER Currently, section 7 of the Charter sets for the “first commissioners” who took office in 1955, and section 35 of the Charter sets forth the process used when the Town’s residents first voted to become incorporated and to adopt the initial Charter. These provisions have no current purpose and need not be included in the Charter. Should sections 7 and 35 of the Charter be repealed? Yes No 6 ITEM G.3. Date: November 20, 2024 To: Board of Commissioners From: Mike McGlothlin, Town Administrator Re: Sewer Charges for Swimming Pool Refill The Town has received requests from residents affected by hurricane damage to waive the sewer fee associated with refilling their swimming pools.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this Resolution shall take effect immediately upon adoption. DULY ADOPTED with a quorum present and voting this 20th day of November, 2024. _____________________________ Lisa Hendrickson, Mayor Attest: ___________________________ Margaret Carey, Town Clerk 2 Town of Redington Shores Exhibit "A" - Resolution 12-24 - Proposed Budget Amendments Fiscal Year-End 2024 Original Budget Amended Budget YTD Actual YE Budget Adjustment General Fund 431.100 AD VALOREM TAXES 1,744,375.00 1,750,000.00 1,752,654.00 5,625.00 431.310 ELECTRIC FRANCHISE FEE 240,000.00 250,000.00 252,638.00 10,000.00 433.519 COUNTY PARKING METERS 110,000.00 170,000.00 171,788.00 60,000.00 436.120 GENERAL INTEREST 199,000.00 400,000.00 400,876.00 201,000.00 447.004 UTILIZATION OF RESERVES 817,715.00 603,045.00 - (214,670.00) 3,111,090.00 3,173,045.00 2,577,956.00 61,955.00 OTHER ACCOUNTS NOT ADJUSTED 1,147,535.00 1,147,535.00 1,219,614.00 - TOTAL GENERAL FUND REVENUES 4,258,625.00 4,320,580.00 3,797,570.00 61,955.00 Dept: 513 FINANCIAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE 531.100 ATTORNEY FEES 65,000.00 45,000.00 40,246.00 (20,000.00) 532.000 ACCOUNTING AND AUDITING 75,000.00 30,000.00 25,250.00 (45,000.00) 533.000 OTHER ACCOUNTING 30,000.00 75,000.00 74,171.00 45,000.00 170,000.00 150,000.00 139,667.00 (20,000.00) Dept: 515 COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING 531.200 ENGINEERING FEES 20,000.00 - - (20,000.00) 534.100 P&Z/BD ADJUSTMENT 12,000.00 - - (12,000.00) 534.150 SPECIAL MAGISTRATE 9,875.00 - - (9,875.00) 41,875.00 - - (41,875.00) Dept: 519 OTHER GENERAL 541.000 COMMUNICATIONS 12,000.00 28,000.00 26,495.00 16,000.00 545.000 INSURANCE 95,000.00 175,000.00 126,445.00 80,000.00 107,000.00 203,000.00 152,940.00 96,000.00 Dept: 525 EMERGENCY & DISASTER RELIEF 549.200 EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT 10,000.00 50,000.00 46,873.00 40,000.00 Dept: 534 GARBAGE/SOLID WASTE CONTROL 534.900 GARBAGE AND TRASH 426,000.00 475,000.00 464,538.00 49,000.00 549.300 COUNTY BILLING COLLECTION FEES 3,300.00 - - (3,300.00) 429,300.00 475,000.00 464,538.00 45,700.00 Dept: 539 OTHER PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT 512.000 REGULAR SALARIES AND WAGES 125,000.00 165,000.00 160,902.00 40,000.00 522.000 RETIRMENT CONTRIBUTIONS 18,150.00 23,000.00 21,847.00 4,850.00 523.000 LIFE AND HEALTH INSURANCE 16,020.00 28,000.00 27,718.00 11,980.00 546.000 REPAIR AND MAITENANCE SERVICE - 18,000.00 17,022.00 18,000.00 564.000 MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT 40,000.00 90,000.00 85,133.00 50,000.00 159,170.00 216,000.00 210,467.00 56,830.00 Dept: 541 ROAD & STREET FACILITIES 543.100 STREET LIGHTING 85,650.00 88,000.00 87,370.00 2,350.00 552.200 ST & HWY MAINT. & REPAIR 10,000.00 70,000.00 64,360.00 60,000.00 95,650.00 158,000.00 151,730.00 62,350.00 Dept: 572 PARKS AND RECREATIONS 546.200 PARKS GENERAL MAINTENANCE 59,050.00 100,000.00 97,484.00 40,950.00 562.000 IMPROVEMENTS 243,000.00 - - (243,000.00) 564.000 MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT - 20,000.00 17,113.00 20,000.00 302,050.00 120,000.00 114,597.00 (182,050.00) Dept: 579 OTHER CULTURE/RECREATION 548.100 SPECIAL EVENTS 15,000.00 25,000.00 23,386.00 10,000.00 548.200 HOLIDAY MISCELLANEOUS 25,000.00 20,000.00 18,951.00 (5,000.00) 40,000.00 45,000.00 42,337.00 5,000.00 1,355,045.00 1,417,000.00 1,323,149.00 61,955.00 OTHER ACCOUNTS NOT ADJUSTED 2,903,580.00 2,903,580.00 2,239,529.00 - TOTAL GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURES 4,258,625.00 4,320,580.00 3,562,678.00 61,955.00
