ITEM F.2.
Date: August 13, 2025
To: Board of Commissioners
From: Margaret Carey, Town Manager/Town Clerk
Re: Building Department Services – Contract Update
BACKGROUND
At the July 30th Workshop, the Commission was presented with the results of the RFP for
contracted building department services. I also shared that in addition to the bids received, the
Town of Indian Shores officially expressed interested in entering into an interlocal agreement with
the Town to provide building department services.
The Commission directed me to pursue the agreement with Indian Shores and to confirm next
steps for contract termination with SAFEBuilt.
UPDATE
I reached out to Tina Porter, Town Administrator for Indian Shores. She is drafting the interlocal
agreement. We also have 2 meetings set up on Monday, August 11 to with the Finance teams of
both towns and to meet with their Building Official. A full update will be presented at the August
13 Regular Commission meeting.
I also reached out to Attorney Eschenfelder and SAFEBuilt to clarify contract termination details
and deadlines.
The SAFEBuilt contract requires a 90-day notice of termination.
It is not advisable to initiate termination until we have a signed contract with the
replacement contractor.
RECOMMENDED NEXT STEPS
The suggested next steps would include the following:
• Continue to work with Indian Shores to procure an interlocal agreement.
• Invite Indian Shores Building Official and/or Administrator to present their proposal at a
meeting or workshop.
• Sign an interlocal agreement with the Town of Indian Shores
• Send a 90-day notice of termination to SAFEBuilt.
• Notify the Town of Redington Beach of our next steps.

Re: Piggyback Contract for Sewer/Stormwater Project
Attorney Eschenfelder has reviewed a potential contract with BLD Services, LLC that Redington
Shores can “piggyback” for our Sewer/Stormwater Project. The contract covers sanitary and
storm sewer repairs and rehabilitation.
Recommendation: Approve the BLD contract for the town’s Sewer/Stormwater project
PIGGYBACK AGREEMENT FOR SANITARY STORM SEWER
REHABILITATION SERVICES
This Agreement is made on the 13th day of August, 2025 (the “Effective Date”), by and between the Town
of Redington Shores, a Florida municipal corporation (the “Client”) and BLD Services, LLC, a Louisiana limited
liability company authorized to conduct business in Florida (the “Contractor”), collectively referred to as the
“Parties”.
WHEREAS, the Client has determined that it requires rehabilitation work to be performed on its sanitary
sewer system infrastructure related to the Town’s initiative to make its system reliably functioning and eventually
transferrable to Pinellas County; and
WHEREAS, on September 29th 2022, the City of Boca Raton, a Florida municipal corporation (“CITY”)
issued Invitation to Bid # 2022-021 (the “ITB”) for the purpose of receiving bids from qualified providers of
sanitary sewer repair and maintenance work to be performed on the CITY’s sanitary sewer system infrastructure
as further described in the ITB (the “Services”); and
WHEREAS, on November 1st 2022, the Contractor responded to the ITB and CITY subsequently selected
the Contractor as the lowest responsive, responsible bidder; and
WHEREAS, on February 23rd 2023, the Contractor and CITY entered into an Agreement for Sanitary
and Storm Sewer Rehabilitation Services (the “CITY Contract”) wherein the Contractor agreed to perform the
Services for the CITY in accordance with the terms and conditions described therein; and
WHEREAS, § 36-13(B) of the Redington Shores Town Code authorizes the Client to accept, in lieu of
soliciting competitive proposals as otherwise required by Florida Statutes § 255.20 or the Town Code, a
competitively-solicited contract which has been made between another Florida governmental agency and a vendor
of commodities or services where that contract was solicited pursuant to lawful competitive procedures which are
equal to or more stringent that the Town’s; and
WHEREAS, the Client’s Town Attorney has analyzed the ITB process used by CITY and has determined
that it was conducted in compliance with Florida law and was otherwise a competitive solicitation process able to
be “piggybacked” pursuant to § 36-13(B) of the Town Code; and
WHEREAS, the Client desires to piggyback onto the CITY Contract for the purposes of receiving the
same Services from Contractor as are being provided to CITY under the CITY Contract; and
WHEREAS, the Town Manager has obtained confirmation from an authorized representative of the
Contractor that the Contractor consents to the formation of this contractual relationship by way of Client’s
piggybacking onto the CITY Contract under the terms provided for herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements set forth hereafter and for other good and
valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
1. Performance of the Services. The Contractor shall make available to Client, and provide to Client as
requested, the same Services as are available and provided to CITY in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the CITY Contract, at the prices specified therein. All references to the “CITY” or “The
Villages” in the CITY Contract shall, for purposes of this Agreement, mean Client.
2. Additional Services. This Agreement is only for the provision of those Services provided by or made
available by Contractor to CITY in the CITY Contract. The Parties understand that any other contracting
services Client may wish to acquire may or may not be acquired from Contractor, and will be acquired in
accordance with applicable law and Client’s procurement code and administrative policies.

3. Incorporation by Reference; Order of Precedence. This Agreement incorporates and makes a part hereof
by reference the following documents: (i) the ITB, (ii) the Contractor’s Bid, and (iii) the CITY Contract
(including any amendments and extension notices related thereto as of the Effective Date of this
Agreement). Notwithstanding any term in the CITY Contract to the contrary, in the event of any
irreconcilable conflict between the terms of these respective documents, the terms in this Agreement shall
prevail over the above-listed documents. In the event of any irreconcilable conflict between the terms of
the three above-listed documents, the earlier-listed document shall prevail over conflicting terms in the
subsequently listed document.
4. Term and Extension. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date, shall have an
initial expiration date of February 3rd 2028 (the initial term end date under § 4.1 of the CITY Contract),
and, pursuant to § 4.2 of the CITY Contract, the Parties may agree to up to three (3) additional one (1)
year extensions (the “Extension Term(s)”). The Client may exercise a renewal right even if the CITY does
not exercise such right.
5. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated in any of the ways provided for in § 12 of the CITY
Contract. In the event the CITY exercises its right under § 12 of the CITY Contract to terminate the CITY
Contract early, this Agreement shall survive through the initial term or any Extension Term termination
date unless the Town, independently, exercises its own termination rights.
6. Staff Title References. The CITY Contract refers in various places to Project Manager, and certain other
CITY officials or employees. The Parties agree that for purposes of this Agreement, references to these
officials or employees shall mean the Redington Shores Town Manager, or her/his designee.

records disclosure requirements are not disclosed, except as authorized by law for the

ITEM G.2.
Date: August 13, 2025
To: Board of Commissioners
From: Margaret Carey, Town Manager/Town Clerk
Re: Appointment of a BIG-C Member to the Forward Pinellas Board
BIG-C appoints a representative to the Forward Pinellas Board. Mayor Will is the current
representative but has given notice that he is no longer able to serve. Mayor Brooks of Madeira
Beach has volunteered for the position. For that to happen, each BIG-C town must vote to support
the nomination of Mayor Brooks.
Recommendation: Approve the Town’s support of Mayor Anne-Marie Brooks to represent the
BIG-C on the Forward Pinellas Board.
ITEM G.3.
Date: August 13, 2025
To: Board of Commissioners
From: Margaret Carey, Town Manager/Town Clerk
Re: Town Clerk Position
The Town Clerk position was posted to: the Town website, FL City Jobs (FL League of Cities), FACC
(Florida Association of City Clerks), and distributed to members of the Pinellas County Clerks
Association. We began posting on July 18, 2025. We received 3 applications – 1 of which was from
our Deputy Clerk, Melissa Fultz. After careful consideration, I believe that Ms. Fultz is qualified
and the best candidate for the position. She has been an asset to the Town since being hired for
the Deputy Clerk position earlier this year.
Pursuant to the Town Charter, the Commission must confirm the Town Clerk. I have already
negotiated an offer to Ms. Fultz and she has accepted.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend the Commission confirm Melissa Fultz for the position of Town Clerk.
ITEM G.4.
Date: August 13, 2025
To: Board of Commissioners
From: Margaret Carey, Town Manager/Town Clerk
Re: Ordinance 2025-04 Election District Revision
At the July 30th Workshop, the Commission discussed a proposal by Commissioner Maynard to
acquire a section of District 3 and incorporate into the District 4 boundary. Commissioners also
discussed the need to evaluate all districts to ensure equal numbers of electors.
It was decided to approve an Ordinance updating the boundary between Districts 3 and 4 at this
time. After the March 2026 election, a redistricting committee will be established to evaluate
equal elector representation in all districts.
Attorney Eschenfelder was directed to prepare an ordinance to reflect the update. In addition,
the Supervisor of Elections Office was notified of the impending change.
ORDINANCE NO. 25–04
AN ORDINANCE OF THE TOWN COMMISSION OF THE
TOWN OF REDINGTON SHORES, FLORIDA,
RELOCATING CERTAIN PROPERTY WITHIN THE
TOWN FROM COMMISSION DISTRICT THREE TO
DISTRICT FOUR; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY,
CODIFICATION AND FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, § 8(B) of the Town Charter provides that the Town Commission may, from
time to time and by ordinance, change the boundaries of the Town’s election districts as it may
deem expedient so that each district shall contain as nearly as possible the same number of electors,
and so long as such revision does not occur within six months of a Town election; and
WHEREAS, § 8(C) of the Town Charter provides that in each instance where the
Commission revises the boundaries of the districts, it shall, in addition to considering the
numbering and population distribution requirements, attempt to develop district boundaries which
would prevent or make less likely the election of more than one Commissioner (excluding the
Mayor-Commissioner) from any one homeowner or condominium association, with the intent that
no one condominium or homeowner association should hold a majority of the Town Commission
seats; and
WHEREAS, the Commission last revised the Town’s election districts in Ordinance 12-
02, adopted April 11th 2012; and
WHEREAS, since being appointed to his seat, the District 4 Commissioner has examined
the boundaries of his district and has determined that certain properties bordering the southwest
portion of his current district, which properties are currently situated in District three, should be
included in his district; and
WHEREAS, according to the Supervisor of Elections most recent data, District one has
394 electors, District two has 441 electors, District 3 has 351 electors, and District 4 has 379
electors; and
WHEREAS, while recent residential changes related to the 2024 hurricanes make precise
data difficult to obtain, the proposed relocation of the properties would move approximately
twenty electors from District 3 to District 4; and
WHEREAS, the District three Commissioner has expressed an understanding of the
District four Commissioner’s desire to “square off” his district and thus does not object to the
change; and
WHEREAS, the Commission has recognized that in light of the disparity of electors
between districts (90 electors between the highest and lowest district), a broader redistricting
examination is in order to ensure the Charter’s “rough equality” mandate is restored; but
1
WHEREAS, in light of the reality that so many Town residents are still actively attempting
to recover from last year’s hurricane impacts, including the fact that many homes remain unlivable
until insurance and grant funds may be determined and necessary permits obtained, it would be
unfair to such residents to undertake a complete redistricting effort until further progress on
recovery occurs and greater stability returns to the Town; and
WHEREAS, the Commission finds that it is in the best interests of the Town to adopt this
Ordinance.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT ORDAINED by the Board of Commissioners of the Town
of Redington Shores, Florida, that:
Section 1. The Town’s Election Districts, as adopted by Ordinance 12-02, are hereby
amended to move 180th Avenue and 182st Avenues West, west of Gulf Blvd., and the parcels
numbered 1-11 and 18-28 (contained within the Surfside Cabana Club Revised subdivision)
outlined in blue on the following map, from Election District 3 to Election District 4:
Section 2. The Town Planner shall create a new election districts map by no later than
October 1st 2025 depicting the new boundaries.
2
Section 3. The Town Manager is directed to ensure the Pinellas County Supervisor of
Elections is provided with a copy of the Town’s new election districts, and that the new election
district map is published for Town residents on the Town’s website.
Section 4. The Town Manager is directed to schedule a time to bring back to the Town
Commission the topic of broader redistricting immediately after the scheduled 2026 elections are
decided either by uncontested races or by vote of the electors, whichever is earlier, so the
Commission may then determine how it wishes to proceed with the project of Town-wide
redistricting.
Section 5. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, provision, or word of this
Ordinance is held unconstitutional or otherwise legally invalid, same shall be severable and the
remainder of this Ordinance shall not be affected by such invalidity, such that any remainder of
the Ordinance shall withstand any severed provision, as the Board of Commissioners would have
adopted the Ordinance and its regulatory scheme even absent the invalid part.
Section 6. Since this Ordinance does not revise the Town Code, the Town Clerk shall
not transmit this Ordinance to the Town’s Code Codifier, and the Codifier shall NOT codify this
Ordinance.
Section 7. Pursuant to Florida Statutes § 166.041(4)(a), prior to the date the public
notice of the public hearing for this Ordinance was published, the Town prepared and posted on
its website a business impact estimate which included: a) a summary of the Ordinance, a statement
of the public purpose to be served by the Ordinance, b) an estimate of the direct economic impact
of the Ordinance on private, for-profit businesses in the Town, c) an estimate of direct compliance
costs that businesses may reasonably incur due to the Ordinance, d) identification of any new
charge or fee on businesses created by the Ordinance or for which businesses will be financially
3
responsible, e) an estimate of the Town’s regulatory costs and of revenues from any new charges
or fees imposed on businesses to cover such costs, and f) a good faith estimate of the number of
businesses likely to be impacted by the Ordinance.
Section 8. Pursuant to Florida Statutes § 166.041(4), this Ordinance shall take effect
immediately upon adoption.
ADOPTED ON FIRST READING on the 13th day of August, 2025, by the Board of
Commissioners of the Town of Redington Shores, Florida.
ADOPTED ON SECOND AND FINAL READING on the 10th day of September, 2025,
by the Board of Commissioners of the Town of Redington Shores, Florida.
