ROLL CALL BY THE TOWN CLERK 2. CONSENT AGENDA a. MINUTES Commission Discussion: None Public Comment: None Commissioner Harr moved to approve the minutes of April 8, 2026, Regular Meeting and April 29, 2026, Workshop, seconded by Commissioner Maynard. Upon vote, the motion was carried unanimously 5 to 0. 3. APPEARANCES AND PRESENTATIONS a. MADEIRA FIRE RESCUE UPDATE – Chief Belk noted he has a newfound respect for Town Manager Carey and her position after serving as the Interim City Manager of Madeira Beach while a new Town Manager was hired. He noted Madeira Beach’s hurricane expo went well and thanked the Commission and staff for their attendance at the April 5k. b. SEMINOLE FIRE RESCUE UPDATE – Chief Schobel noted there were 35 calls within the Town and informed the Town about the Seminole hurricane meeting on May 20. c. INDIAN SHORES PD UPDATE – Chief Holroyd thanked staff for participating in the hurricane preparedness training and noted May 10 through 16 is Police Memorial Week. 4. OLD BUSINESS a. ISPD Contract and FY27 Budget Town Manager Carey stated that Indian Shores provided updated budget numbers earlier that afternoon and that, as a result, there would be no vote today, allowing the Commission to review the updated information. Chief Holroyd reviewed the updated budget information for the following year. ISPD proposed a 5% increase for Fiscal Year 2027. She requested the Commission to vote on the proposed budget and the budget amount. 1  Discussion: Discussion ensued regarding the contract approval timeline, ISPD’s deadline to receive the approved contract and budget, a cap on contract increases, the proposed fee for the following four years of the contract, renewal of the current contract vs. drafting a new contract, and the Town’s budget feasibility. Attorney Eschenfelder informed the Commission that he would draft a new contract with terms reflecting the proposed 5% increase and would provide it for review. He asked the Commission for direction on what they want included in the new contract and for a special meeting to vote on it. Public Comment: NAME ADDRESS COMMENT Jennie Blackburn 17717 Gulf Blvd She did not understand how the proposed fee went from 600k to 800k back to 600k. She felt there were expenses that ISPD already incurred even if they were not representing our Town. For example, vehicle maintenance. Mary Gerst 215 174th Ave E She was concerned about the timeline for ISPD to approve the budget and contract. Rich Perez 17725 Long Point Dr Noted that employees are the most expensive item in a budget. The Town should bare the cost of maintenance as they do provide us good service. He has seen ISPD in action and the sentiment is consistent with everyone that the Town should keep ISPD as our first responders. Town Manager Carey thanked ISPD for the fantastic job they do for our Town and noted the discussion regarding their services is simply about whether the cost is sustainable. The initial numbers presented were shocking, and budget feasibility was the main concern. As the Town Manager, she did her due diligence, researched other options, including the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office (PCSO), and provided the information to the Commission to make its decision. Chief Holroyd noted that PCSO is an outstanding agency, but ISPD can provide a different level of service. ISPD officers are dedicated to serving the Community and building relationships within it, whereas the PCSO allows employees to bid for shifts, so you may not get the same officers, and they all have varying levels of experience. She informed that the numbers have changed as she receives direction from the Indian Shores Council and works within her budgetary constraints. Action: Attorney Eschenfelder will work with the Town Attorney in Indian Shores to propose a new contract and schedule a special meeting to review and vote on it. Town Manager Carey reviewed the organizational chart and noted that she is the liaison for all vendors, including police services and that the police department, like the Fire Departments, report to the Town Manager. Discussion ensued regarding ISPD reporting directly to the Mayor and Commission and the Town Manager’s role. 5. NEW BUSINESS a. RES 01-2026 Public Entity Resolution with Valley Bank – Updating Authorized Signers Town Manager Carey informed the Commission that there was an issue with the documents, and the item will be forwarded to a future Commission meeting. 2  b. Second Amendment to the Interlocal Agreement with Pinellas County – Hours for the County Lot Town Manager Carey noted a business owner had requested that the County parking lot hours be extended to 10 p.m. The County proposed a contract amendment for a six-month pilot program to assess any unforeseen issues with the extended hours. Commission Discussion: None. Public Comment: None Commissioner Maynard moved to approve the Agreement, seconded by Commissioner Harr. Upon vote, the motion was carried unanimously 5 to 0. c. First Amendment to the Interlocal Agreement with Pinellas County – DEP Annual Regulatory Program and Surveillance Fee Town Manager Carey noted NPDES is set to expire, and this amendment extends the Agreement for an additional five years. Commission Discussion: None Public Comment: None Commissioner Schoos moved to approve the Agreement, seconded by Commissioner Harr. Upon vote, the motion was carried unanimously 5 to 0. d. Town Manager’s 6-month Evaluation Update Town Manager Carey noted she has completed six months and received her evaluation scores from Commissioners. The overall score was in the “exceeds expectations” category. She informed that the next evaluation will be her annual evaluation in August. 6. COMMISSION REPORTS a.

Mayor Kapper – none. f.

The amendment passed the House and Senate and will now appear on the November 2026 General Election ballot, where it will require 60% voter approval to take effect. With this amendment heading to voters, the Florida League of Cities (FLC) encourages local governments to educate residents about how property tax revenues are generated and how they are used. Source: Florida League of Cities NEXT STEPS Attached you will find information that is helpful when speaking with residents. Staff have also added detailed tax information to the website under the “Finance” page, as well as posting information to Facebook and Instagram and have flyers in the lobby of town hall.  Understanding Your Property Taxes FREQUENTLY.ASKED.QUESTIONS What portion of my property taxes goes to the Town of Redington Shores? When your annual property tax is sent off to the Pinellas County Tax Collector, that money is divided among several government agencies. Only about 11% of your total property tax bill goes to the Town of Redington Shores. The majority goes to Pinellas County government (41%) and Pinellas County Schools (36%). Special districts receive 12%. What do Town property taxes fund? For Fiscal Year 2026, we estimate Redington Shores will collect close to $1.8 million in ad valorem (property tax) revenue, which is invested in essential services, including: Law Enforcement ($649,000), Fire and Emergency Services ($293,000), Parks ($155,000), Roads & Streets ($216,500), Library Services ($55,150) Has Redington Shores raised property tax rates recently? Your property tax rate is determined by the millage rate. The town’s current millage rate of 1.6896 mills is the 3rd lowest rate among all Pinellas County cities and towns. We have kept that low millage rate for many years despite rising costs. What happens if property taxes are eliminated? Eliminating local property taxes won’t eliminate costs, it just shifts them. Think higher sales taxes, new fees, or cuts to those essential Town services. It will also reroute decision-making from local communities to Tallahassee. Isn’t Florida already a low-tax state? Yes. Florida ranks among the most tax-efficient states in the nation. Our property tax burden is about half that of Texas, thanks to smart spending, local accountability, and the “Florida Formula” that keeps dollars and decisions close to home May 2026  Understanding Your Property Taxes FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS BREAKING DOWN YOUR PROPERTY TAX DOLLARS May 2026 ITEM H.7. Date: June 5, 2026 To: Board of Commissioners From: Michael Pafumi, Public Works Department Supervisor Re: Public Works Department Monthly Report – May Public Works Department May Routine daily activities conducted by the Public Works Dept. • Daily check of 4 the town lift stations to ensure proper function. • Daily emptying of dog waste cans within the community. • Ensuring bus stop trash receptacles are emptied. • Checking and ensuring all town storm drains are clear of debris. • Assisting town hall staff with routine duties and citizen requests for service. • Weekly raking of the beach with the beach tractor and rake. • Lawn cutting / landscaping of all town parks, medians and easements.
