Facili�es available are: • Cons�tu�on Park • Back Room of Town Hall The rental of the back room has been challenging for staff. Most events are scheduled during Town Hall business hours. The noise level is quite distrac�ng and the room, kitchen, and bathrooms are difficult if not impossible to access. We have also had issues with collec�ng payment, and the room not being cleaned up a�er events. Rental of the back room is also a challenge during non-business hours because staff must be available to unlock/lock Town Hall. Addi�onally, having Town Hall open to the public during non- working hours, poses security risks. For these reasons, I am recommending that the back room of Town Hall no longer be offered for rent to the public. ITEM F.2. Date: April 24, 2024 To: Board of Commissioners From: Margaret Carey, Town Clerk Re: Ordinance Summary Discussion Commissioner Hoyt requested this topic be discussed and would like a detailed summary of any proposed ordinance to be included in the agenda packet of the mee�ng. I have already started that process and have atached an example here. Date: March 13, 2024 To: Board of Commissioners From: Margaret Carey, Town Clerk Re: 2nd Reading - Ordinance 2024-02 Amending the Animal Code At the February 14, 2024 Regular mee�ng, the Board approved the 2024-02 Ordinance amending the Animal Code. This is the 2nd Reading. Highlights of changes: Sec. 56-3. Prohibited on beaches. A. It is unlawful for any person to bring or have or ride or allow on any beach in the town or in the water adjacent thereto any animal. C.

Pursuant to F.S. § 413.08(9) any person who knowingly and willfully misrepresents herself or himself through conduct or verbal or writen no�ce, as using a service animal and being qualified D. The prohibi�on regarding animals on town beaches shall be included in the vaca�on rental standards published by the town and posted for guests as required by § 90-116 D(2)(a) of the code. **Please see atached Ordinance for all changes. ** Previous discussion: The amendment was originally discussed at the January 24, 2024 Workshop Mee�ng. The Board discussed concerns related to beach ac�vi�es. Dogs on the beach was one of those concerns. Major Smith also atended the Workshop mee�ng and talked about educa�on efforts for our ci�zens and visitors. Addi�onally, the Board sought clarifica�on regarding service animals.
