Regular Meeting Minutes September 3, 2026 Dunedin City Commission Artist Talk with light refreshments in the Commission Chambers with Mr . Logan ; the public is invited to attend. Richard Logan expressed it was an honor to be here in the space the City has created for artists . He explained he received his degree in architecture ; however , dec ided that was no t what he wanted and started his artwork . In response to the Commissioners ' inquiries about his artwork , Mr. Logan responded: The creative process is varied , and you never know where the inspiration is coming from . For the pieces displayed in the Chambers , the inspiration was sort of combin ing the concept of pre-Columbian art with nature. The actual process is a photograph transferred onto the metal and then etched glass over the top. He does work in various mediums , depending on the inspiration. In terms of what he would like for those viewing his art to take away with them with these pieces , it is a beauty and vision of tying together different civilizations with the present and how we work together. Hopefully , it inspires people to think about things differently . His favorite in this series is probably the King Pakal one in the middle. That process was a little more involved with the image carved into the glass. He likes people , so in this series it is probably the one he likes the most. His work is more than pre-Columbian ; it is just a series. Much of his work has been with mus ic, jazz, and people . Etched glass is not a focus for his work ; he has done a lot of it. He also does cast glass , oil paintings , wood , and other multiple mediums . His true inspiration for this particular series of work was taking pictures in Selby Gardens and watching the little creatures that move around within the gardens . Mayor Freaney expressed appreciation to Mr. Logan for sharing his art with the citizens of Dunedin in the City Hall. 1.b. National Constitution Week Proclamation - September 17-23, 2026 Vice Mayor Walker provided a brief history of the setting aside of this week as National Constitut ion Week and thereafter read the proclamation designating September 17 - 23 , 2026 , as National Constitution Week urging all citizens to join with the Caladesi Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) , along with DAR Chapters across America , in honoring and recalling the importance of our rights under the Constitution by public display of our Nation 's flag during National Constitution Week . Jane Turner , Caladesi Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution , accepted the proclamat ion expressing appreciation for the recognition and made the following comments : The Constitution of the United States of America was written to protect every American from the abuse of power by government. Without restra int , the excesses of political power would cause our Republic to perish. This guardian of liberty established our Republic as a self-governing nation dedicated to ru le by law . Government would be the servant and not the master of the people. We laud the achievements of those courageous men who , 250 years ago , struggled to balance a limited government with the rights , priv ileges, and the responsibilities of American citizenship . "We the People" speaks volumes . Caladesi Chapter of DAR encourages our citizens to honor their staunch courage and wise counsel by studying this great document. Everyone is invited to visit their display at the Dunedin Publ ic Library this month . They thanked the City for helping DAR promote awareness of our nation 's greatest document. 26-2

Regular Meeting Minutes September 3, 2026 Dunedin City Commission The Caladesi Chapter of DAR was proud to present the City with the Constitution Flag to fly over City Hall September 17 - 23 , 2026. 1.c. SUPPLEMENT: "A Day to Remember" Proclamation Commissioner Dugard read the proclamation , "A Day to Remember ", officially designating Friday , Septembe r 11 , 2026 , as Patriot Day and National Day of Service and Remembrance in Dunedin and sharing that the citizens of Dunedin remember with eternal respect those whose lives were suddenly , without cause , pointlessly taken from them on September 11 , 2001 , forever resting in peace and abid ing in our memories . The proclamation is presented to the American Legion Auxiliary Dunedin Memorial Unit 275. Fire Chief Handoga expressed appreciation for the proclamation and taking the time to recognize this historic 25 th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. They remember the 343 firefighters along with the law enforcement officers , emergency medical services personnel (EMS) , the fi rst responders , and civilians who lost their lives that day. On behalf of Duned in Fire Rescue , they thank the City for honoring their sacrifice and continuing to support the men and women who serve our community. We will never forget. They also want to invite everyone to join them at City Hall on September 11 , 2026 , for a Remembrance Ceremony beginning at 8:40 a.m. Kelli Coppla , President , American Legion Auxiliary Dunedin Memorial Unit 275 , accepted the proclamation on behalf of the American Legion. She noted this being the 25 th anniversary , it is something we know we can never forget and never again let th is happen to our land . We must remember we are free and we must support and think about the people who did sacrifice their lives for this ; the first responders , the families who no longer are families and never let this pass . CITIZEN INPUT Mayor Freaney advised now was the time for anyone in the audience who wished to speak on a topic not on the agenda . David Ballard Geddis Jr. of 802 Georgia Avenue, Palm Harbor commented : I frequently attend meet ings at the Tampa Bay Water Authority which is headquartered just up the street. This diagram is a pie chart displaying their capital outlay of annual expenses of what it costs to upkeep their yearly budget. The largest slice of the pie in this chart , 2/3 for their budget pays interest rates to a bond debt paying perpetual interest to an ever growing bond market subjecting us to an ever growing debt maintaining interest payments to a contrived bond market. Slowly and surely and ultimately at some point in time this ever growing debt will place us in perpetual bondage for water access claiming that water is now a privilege. The diagram shows there is very little capital outlay for other matters , other than paying debt to such third party invocations. If the bond market , as contrived and invoked , was held null and void, neutralized , as based on the 14th Amendment, there would be ample amounts of money for other needs such as infrastructure . Now , should the City and County governments be operating on the same principle maintaining an ever growing bond debt neutralizing the interest rates to such contrived bond source would serve to free up money that could be used properly for library and parks and other infrastructure needs throughout the city. Hearing and seeing no one else wishing to speak , Mayor Freaney moved to the next agenda item. 2. CONSENT AGENDA 26-3

Public Input Mayor Freaney opened public input on any Consent item. Hearing and seeing no one wishing to speak, Mayor Freaney closed the public input. VOTE: Motion carried unanimously . ITEMS PULLED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA· 2.d. Award of Bid #26-2619 for the Production Well Drilling Services Project to FTE Drilling USA, Inc., in the amount of $326,672.50 and approve First Amendment to the agreement Commissioner Sand bergen inquired if the $326,672.50 is all for this project. Project Engineer II Gonzalez advised this amount is for the drilling of the well. The above ground appurtenances will have to be bid out , such as the piping , electrical , and control instrumentation , as well , which is anticipated to be another $300 ,000 to $400 ,000 . Commissioner Sand bergen noted another well nearby and questioned whether the close proximity of the wells will have any effect on each other. Mr . Gonzalez explained the wells are the same depth ; the City of Dunedin has 29 wells; all do not run at the same time. The preference is to give some rest to others . About 12 -16 or 17 wells operate at a given time. These two wells in Amberlea Park will not run at the same time unless it is an emergency . Commissioner Gow clarified with Mr . Gonzalez this will be the 30 th well. Mr . Gonzalez explained the decision to have a new well, for this well in particular , was spurred by the need to have a resilient well field , as found during Hurricanes Helene and Milton ; being a coastal city , some wells do get submerged from storm surge and also some 26-4

Regular Meeting Minutes September 3, 2026 Dunedin City Commission wells lose power . Staff looked at ways to make the well field more resilient and worked with a consultant who identified 4 well field sites on City-owned properties where a new well could be installed. Amberlea Park was selected because it is more high-and-dry and right behind the City 's water plant , approximately 50 ft. above sea level and already has sufficient power. Also , Duke Energy recently completed a power/electrical grid hardening project in that location with a new above ground transformer . In response to the question from Commissioner Gow as to if this additional well has anything to do with increased population or negative impact to the water supply the City already has , Mr . Gonzalez advised this well is not to increase capacity , not to increase the flow to the Water Treatment Plant ; it is only to provide a more resilient well field and to actually give a portion of the aquifer a rest in order not to continually be pumping from one area , as that is how a well can go dead and cannot be pumped any longer . Comm issioner Gow asked if the water intrusion of some wells from past hurricanes contaminates or ruins the well or can it come back . Utilities & Engineering Director Watkins explained it is not necessarily the well being inundated ; it is more the electrical components and losing power . There were two or three in those areas ; it is more of attempting to move well locations further away in order not to have those issues. It is not like the well was contaminated with sea water ; it got near so staff turned them off . In response to the question from Commissioner Gow, Mr. Gonzalez explained the City has 4 more well sites permitted through the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD). This is going to take one of those away ; it will be a special well site. After this , there will be 3 more sites permitted . Commissioner Dugard asked how the resource available in the aquifer is measured. Mr . Gonzalez explained the process of a well site permit that includes a hydro-geological modeling of the aquifer to determ ine capacity and what the well can produce . The City is nowhere near the upper limits of its permit and nowhere near the upper limits of where they can draw from . Mr. Gonzalez advised the proposed depth of this well is 240 - 280 feet. MOTION: Motion was made by Commissioner Sandbergen and seconded by Commissioner Dugard to approve Consent Agenda item 2.d . Public Input Mayor Freaney opened public input on Consent item 2.d . Hearing and seeing no one wishing to speak , Mayor Freaney closed the public input. VOTE: Motion carried unanimously. 3. ACTION ITEMS 3.a. Second Reading of Ordinance 26-08, an ordinance amending the City of Dunedin Code of Ordinances to prohibit launching motorized watercraft from the Dunedin Causeway Beach to protect the shoreline, reduce negative environmental impacts and reduce overall user safety City Attorney Cowan read Ordinance 26-08 by title only. MOTION: Mot ion was made by Commiss ioner Dugard and seconded by Vice Mayor Walker to adopt Ordinance 26-08 on second reading , amending the Code of Ordinances to prohibit launching motorized watercraft from the Dunedin Causeway Beach. 26 -5

Regular Meeting Minutes September 3, 2026 City Manager Opening Remarks City Manager Bramley gave a brief introduction . Dunedin City Commission This has been a controversial subject with the first public hearing having many welcomed visitors who gave the Commission a lot of testimony regarding their position. The City has had a lot of emails regarding this particular subject, and she is aware the Commissioners , as they go about their day, have heard from their constituents as well. There has been a lot of input into this particular amendment to the Code of Ordinances and not just during the course of the public hearings . This all began on December 9, 2025 , when the Dunedin Causeway & Coastal Waterways Committee submitted a memorandum to the City Commission and to herself , as City Manager , recommending that the City Commission act to prohibit launch and operation of motorized watercraft on the Duned in Causeway. The memo is Attachment E in the agenda package ; a well drafted memo in her opinion . The rationale for that memo stated, "This recommendation arises from documented safety hazards, environmental degradation, and conflicts between incompatible uses along this unique public coasta l corridor ". The Dunedin Causeway & Coastal Waterways Committee is a citizen group of residents of the City of Dunedin who are appointed by the City Commission and act in an advisory capacity to the City Commission. It seems there is some misunderstanding as to the purpose of that committee. In fact , mak ing a recommendation , as they did , is part of their charge and tasks by the City Commission. In the intervening period , the County has been working with the City regarding some traffic circulation patterns on the Causeway and the County has been restoring the area to pre- hurricane conditions , as there was significant damage on that portion of the Causeway. As reopening the Causeway became imminent, it was time for the City to address the Dunedin Causeway & Coastal Waterways Committee's recommendations. The City did not want to open the Causeway and have motorized watercraft there without addressing the Committee's recommendation and then bringing it to the City Commission and then closing it down again for motorized watercraft. It was a logical progression as to how it got to this point this evening. City Staff did their research and spoke to the Dunedin Causeway & Coastal Waterways Committee. On July 2, 2026 , the City Commission provided consensus direction to staff , after a presentation , to move forward with an ordinance prohibiting motorized watercraft from launching or landing on the Causeway. It is important to note this is an amendment to the Code of Ordinances and there is a very robust public hearing and public notification process incorporated within any amendment to the Code of Ordinances . There are two publicly advertised public hearings; the first was July 23 , 2026, when the City Commission approved first reading of that ordinance by a vote of 4 - 0. The Commission heard a lot of testimony during the course of that ordinance from those who are in favor of and those who are opposed to adoption of this ordinance. The public hearing is very important and there are a number of people present this evening she was sure are going to speak to the City Commission , but also what the Commission hears from their constituents in the intervening period; they are not guided simply by a majority at the meeting or just the minority. The Commission is guided by all the input they receive from their constituents. 26-6

Regular Meeting Minutes September 3, 2026 Dunedin City Commission The first public hearing was July 23 , 2026 , and that was publicly advertised in the Tampa Bay Times on July 5, 2026. Tonight is the second public hearing and if the City Commission adopts this ordinance , it would be effective immediately. This was publicly advertised on August 28, 2026. A great deal of input has been heard from those who are proponents and opponents of the ban on motorized watercraft. Staff Presentation Parks and Recreation Director Mulkey introduced the item . Strategy & Sustainability Manager Delfino referred to the PowerPoint presentation, Dunedin Causeway Usage , Attachment A, that was shared in July and provided the following highlights and comments: History and Background - Page 3 - Details 1963 - 2026 • Bridge & Causeway built in 1963 • Open for Recreational Activities from 5:00 am - 11 :00 pm • 1990 - City Commission tentatively banned launching/retrieving motorized watercraft from the Causeway (Tampa Bay Times) • 2005 - Causeway Master Plan (City of Dunedin) • 2012- Causeway Corridor Study (City of Dunedin) • 2014 - Waterfront Task Force Report (City of Dunedin). • 2019- County Ordinance 19-29 restricting usage (seagrass damage) on the north side of the Causeway • 2024 - south side of Causeway closed due to storm damage/erosion • 2025- circulation and access updated for safety (one-way traffic) by the County • 2026 - post-storm beach renourishment, erosion control, and repair approved by County Commission (work began April 2026 ; expected completion July- December 2026) Parks and Recreation Director Mulkey continued: Current Ordinance : 14-21, Section 54-32- Details/Map of Zones - Page 4 Briefly , the ordinance is the designation of different use areas along the Causeway . The Causeway is the gateway to Honeymoon and Caladesi Island state parks. It is a recreation space as well as a transportation corridor. The north side is managed differently by the County and has prohibited motorized watercraft for an extended time . Southside Current Environment - Details/Graphic - Page 5 On the south side , there are three distinct sections. The furthest west is the area that allows for non-motorized watercraft shore launching; the central section of the beach is a non-watercraft area , and east section closest to the channe l is the area traditionally used for motorized watercraft. This area is not a developed launch site or boat ramp; it is from shore. It is about 1,000 feet of shore launching impacted by this proposed change. Northside Current Environment (County Ordinance adopted 10-22-19) Page 6 Sec. 58-402 - Acts prohibited Photograph of the signage posted on the north side of the Causeway with attention on seagrass preservation . 26-7

"The County would support the City taking a position to restrict access to watercraft on the south side of the Causeway." "I do want to acknowledge that we (the County) closed the north side of the Causeway to vessel launching years ago due to the damage caused and the costs associated with constant repairs to sensitive environmental areas . We would expect these areas to remain closed for vessel launching regardless of the decision made for the south side ." - Thomas Washburn, Transportation Division Director, Pinellas County County Ordinance - Section 58-401 - Sec. 58-402 - Page 12 The last portion reads : 26-8

Regular Meeting Minutes September 3, 2026 Dunedin City Commission "T he board recognizes that equine riding is not the exclus ive cause of seagrass damage within the aquatic preserve system ; dredg ing and careless vessel operation in particular also pose a significant risk to seagrass beds. The refore , the board has determined that the prohibition of equine riding and other activities that cause seagrass damage within the aquatic preserve system is reasonably necessary to preserve the aquatic preserve system and protec t the public health and welfare ." County Ordinance - Section 58-402 & 404 - Page 13 Sec . 58-402 - Acts prohibited - (b) portion reads: It shall be unlawful for any person to cause seagrass damage within the aquatic preserve system without a permit from the county , and any other requisite government agencies , authorizing the activity which may cause such damage. The owner of any object or equipment causing such damage shall be jointly and severally liable with the operator of the object or equipment for such damage . Sec 58-404 - Areas embraced - portion reads : All territories within the legal boundaries of Pinellas County , Florida , including all incorporated and unincorporated areas , shall be embraced by the provisions of this division , unless in confl ict with or specifically deleted by a municipal ordinance. Tampa Bay 's Aquatic Preserve - Map- Page 14 Encompasses most , if not all, of Pinellas County . Available Launch Locations - Map & Table - Page 15 The map and table provide information on launching points closest to both the Causeway and the Dunedin Mar ina . Most are public and do come with a cost to launch . A few listed are private. Ordinance Review Process - Chart - Page 16 Ms . Defino advised : City staff presented an overview of the Ordinance Review process at the workshop and left with the consensus direction to develop the Ordinance language , which was done. The proper advertising was done for the first reading of the ordinance ; this is the second reading . Prepare Draft Ordinance Language (4 weeks) Advertise Ord inance /Meeting (min 7 days) First Reading of Ordinance July 23 , 2026 Advertise Ordinance /Meeting (min 5 days) Second Read ing of Ordinance September 3, 2026 Recommendation - Page 17 Staff recommended the City Commission adopt Ordinance 26-08 , amending Ordinance 14- 21, section 54-32 , to prohibit launching of motorized watercraft along the Dunedin Causeway. Quest ions for Staff Commissioner Dugard referred to the Map , Exhibit A in particular, that still shows "Slow Speed/Minimum Wake Area " and asked if that will change or stay the same . Ms. Delfino advised there is a sort of sister item next on the agenda adjusting the map ; preemptively she would say there are no substantive changes being made to the map , which is referencing the water usage ; this does not touch the water direction or usage identification . 26-9

Regular Meeting Minutes September 3, 2026 Dunedin City Commission Parks & Recreation Director Mulkey acknowledged this is strictly the shorel ine activities. The waterway would require a different process that would have to be vetted by the state . In response to Commissioner Dugard that it would appear the map says that water access or boating is available for that area and whether that is a conflict between the ordinance and this map , Mr . Mulkey indicated it would prohib it the launching and landing of watercraft from the actual shoreline. The area would remain a no-wake zone. He acknowledged it was correct that it is available for boating but has no launching abil ity from that location. Vice Mayor Walker inquired regarding the enforcement and any penalties involved. City Manager Bramley advised that an enforcement section of the staffing has been included. The policy of the Pinellas County Sher iffs Office is the first interaction is a warning and in speaking with Captain Harvey , he is not going to move off that directive of the Sheriff. First infraction would be a warning , and she recalled the second is a Class 5 citation , which is $93 .00 if uncontested , $138.00 if contested . She also spoke with Captain Harvey about if the Sher iffs Office should encounter someone who has already been issued a Class 5 citation and has come back, at that point there would be an option to trespass them from the Causeway so that they would not be allowed to return. The trespass is usually not permanen t but may be a year or similar . Mayor Freaney referred to a fine of $500.00 , and City Manager Bramley explained that would be the municipal citation , which is something that would be discussed with the Sheriffs Office as to whether that would be something the City would pursue, for instance , for multiple violations . Mayor Freaney noted it would be good to clarify . City Manager Bramley noted the citation is one thing and the trespass ing is another . She doubted anyone violating the trespass , which could result in jail. Commissioner Sand bergen inquired if there is a recent photograph of the area currently. City Manager Bramley advised she could send one to the Commissioner under separate cover. He inquired if the concrete barriers are going to stay , whatever the decision here . The concern he expressed was for cars going through the area where people were used to relaxing. Mr . Mulkey advised that would be a follow-up discussion with the County ; they have proposed naturalizing that shoreline a little to provide some resiliency and also accommodate more habitat. That is something the County actually offered during this process ; there would be discussion as to access to that area. Commissioner Sandbergen asked if there wou ld be new and adequate signage should this pass so people cannot say they did not know. Mr. Mulkey advised staff worked with the County and put out some signs in the interim because the area is technically closed and there has been an increase in people trying to launch . Signs were insta lled at the entries on the south side . Should this move forward , there will need to be some water-facing signage for no landing of vessels. Comm issioner Sandbergen emphasized the concern that there is no confusion in language or verbiage if the Sheriffs Office , or the FWC , engages with someone where either party is uncomfortable , ensuring fairness on both sides . Everyone should feel secure in understanding what is expected. City Manager Bramley responded , advising this has been a subject of discussion with Captain Harvey, North District Commander , in terms of how this is enforced and how clearly this can be enforced . She is aware they have discussed this ordinance, which in drafting this ordinance to say there is no laun ching or landing on the Causeway is very clear . She thought enforcement would be relatively easy for the Sheriffs Office . However , this does not prohibit 26-10

Regular Meeting Minutes September 3, 2026 Dunedin City Commission anchoring offshore and accessing the beach; that would still be permitted , and she thought people would understand that , but not landing on the beach or launching. Commissioner Sandbergen asked if people can still have bonfires on the Causeway and it was noted that is restricted ; bringing and starting up a charcoal grill is permitted. He expressed his concern and asked for consideration of doing away with grills , as a whole , due to reading about a couple of recent severe injuries where those hot coals were left and a young child stepped in them. He suggested consideration of that tonight or at least giving it consideration moving forward . In response to Commissioner Sandbergen noting he had seen a person with a dog going into the grass area , Mr. Mulkey advised dogs are prohibited from the beach unless they are a service animal ; dogs are allowed on the Trail. Commissioner Sandbergen referred to the concerns expressed in the previous hearing about pesticides in that area in relation to runoff into the grasses and asked if there had been clarification about what was sprayed , who sprayed it, and if there was any long-term damage to the grass in that area. Mr. Mulkey explained for any of the City's waterfront maintenance activities they have buffers and certain areas where they do not spray based on product guidelines. It probably would have been City employees . Mayor Freaney wanted to make sure , in terms of the County indicating before they actually do the traffic pattern or anything on the south side , they will show the City the mockup of what they want to do or the results of the north side traffic flow. Mr. Mulkey advised that the understanding is that the County will present to the City before implementing anything. Commissioner Gow clarified with Mr. Mulkey that dogs are allowed on the Trail; they are not allowed off the Pinellas Trail. Ms. Delfino clarified there is a dog beach within the State Park. Commissioner Gow asked how close jet skis can get to the shoreline. Mr. Mulkey noted the area is a no-wake zone, so it would have to be slow speed operations and can occupy that area with a vessel ; they can get fairly close to the shore. Commissioner Gow inquired whether there has been any economic analysis or any known impact of jet skis on local businesses , such as the restaurants , the bait shop , and so forth. City Manager Bramley advised the City has not done that analysis; though they did hear from the business that would be most impacted, the High & Dry Grill , and the owner is in favor of the ban on motorized watercraft. Mayor Freaney inquired if there is enough clarity as to how close vessels can be to the shore or is there going to be an argument on how many feet. City Attorney Cowan explained the point of the ordinance was to stop the launching and landing on the shoreline; she thought that to be very clear. As far as the waterway is concerned , this was not changing those regulations that currently exist in that waterway. City Attorney Cowan advised regarding the question of the ordinance dealing with hot coals , that there is already something in the Code that prohibits the disposal of hot coals, unless in a designated area ; that already exists within the City Code. Grilling is allowed, but the disposal of coal can only be done in a designated area . Public Input 26-11

Regular Meeting Minutes September 3, 2026 Dunedin City Commission Mayor Freaney opened the item to public. She reviewed the importance of adher ing to the rules of decorum , no clapping , no shouting out , and so forth ; the purpose being not to intimidate the speaker or those wishing to speak. Summary of points made by speakers : (Complete comments on video on the City website.) David Ballard Geddis Jr . of 802 Georgia Ave ., Palm Harbor The proposed new bridge is to be much larger and longer than the existing bridge and will extend out past the po int where people are launching jet skis today . In effect , the jet ski argument is sort of moot in relat ion to the newly developed bridge proposal which is ult imately going to shorten the parking area people use on the Causeway. The new bridge will allow for more water flow underneath to get to Caladesi Island and flush out the grass flats that are slowly dying because the Causewa y itself is congesting proper tidal flow . While not a big fan of dredging , that is all that has been done out there . The intercoastal waterway is a dredge to pump sand up and down the beach from St. Petersburg all the way to north Pinellas . In a sense , the Causeway itself is a dredge ; it is artificial. People who move to Florida come for the water and they need to be provided with a place to go , so we need to reconfigure the design of the Causeway . He believes that Tarpon Springs and the way the use of cul-de-sacs that sort of stick out at Fred Howard Park Beach , Sunset Beach is a cul-de- sac , dredged. He thought the same concept could be used on the Causeway and create one or two by the bath house that extend northward , dredging would be disruptive to the habitat. Having lived here his whole life, it pains him to say this ; however , at the same time , we need to accommodate for what is being removed from the Causeway with the build ing of a new br idge; someplace else needs to be created ; otherwise , it will be taking away accommodations currently enjoyed by the residents today. Mark Clark of 2013 Woodward Ave., Dunedin Wished to clarify the City staff information regarding the cost per linear foot that Dunedin Causeway was the most expensive park in the Pinellas County system , which is inaccurate; Fort DeSoto is the most expensive park to maintain . According to Pinellas County and Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD) studies done every 2 years on seagrass , stormwater runoff is the number one cause of seagrass damage , not personal watercraft launching on the Causeway or anything like that. Prop scarring is secondary . Dunedin has a lot of stormwater runoff , which he thought there was nothing the Commission could do to prevent that. There is no study done that says the seagrass is being damaged by the jet skis ; it is j ust someone 's opinion that it looks better out there since the 2024 storms. Th is proposal does not solve the main problem on the south side of the Causeway . The area is congested with all types of water enthusiasts either launching from the beach or using the channel to gain Gulf access. This ordinance will not prohibit PWC 's, as discussed , from going somewhere and launching and bringing their trailer and car to the Causeway , setting up camp , anchoring the ir personal watercraft off the beach , and then using it as a launch area to go in and out , using the area as a base camp. His suggestion is to create a no-wake zone from the west side of the main draw bridge west to Hurricane Pass where it is very congested. Eric Graves of 1413 Bayshore Blvd., 4, Dunedin He supports the ban, noting the discussion about environmental issues , safety , and quality of life. There are experts and data that support this approach . 26-12

Regular Meeting Minutes September 3, 2026 Dunedin City Commission He is out there all the time and is aware of seasonality; however , it is clear , since not having motorized vehicles launching at the Causeway , the difference in the seagrass , the clarity of the water . He speaks for himself and his wife and is representing the Dunedin Boat Club Paddling Group of the Dunedin Boat Club in support of the ban. Carol Horner of 1660 Curlew Rd., Dunedin She used to launch her jet ski there all the time. Since Hurricane Helene, the Causeway has changed and she will no longer launch there as it is unsafe. The area is nice because now more people are going there as it is quieter. The ban is the best thing that can happen in terms of safety. Michelle Birnbaum of 330 Promenade Dr., 302, Dunedin Expressed significant concern for the damage that can be done to the environment and the safety issues for people. She related a recent incident of a friend who sustained bruises and cuts after being knocked off her paddle board . The Sheriff was called but did nothing. She also expressed concern for the comment that allowing people to drop anchor offshore is not going to cause damage to the natural environment. The maps were confusing as to the area of restriction , and she was concerned people would think there were no safety concerns in the area. Cleveland Laycock of 2306 Jones Dr., Dunedin Expressed his support for the Dunedin Causeway and Coastal Waterways Committee decision. He is on the Marina Advisory Committee and understands the arduous task of making some of these decisions. People should be secure in that this has been thoroughly researched and discussed, and the general public has been given numerous opportunities to participate and voice their opinions . He supports the decision of the City Commission for the City of Dunedin. He encouraged residents to participate by sitting on citizen committees. Matt Norman of 2373 Mangrum Dr., Dunedin He spoke at the first reading in opposition to this ordinance and responded to what he heard from the Commission , including legitimate concern about public safety and congestion. Repeatedly, much of the demand for keeping this launch open was coming from people who do not live in Dunedin, while Dunedin residents live with the impacts. He suggested an alternative is to not restore the old unrestricted launch area but instead consider a dramatically smaller permit-only launch area available exclusively to Dunedin residents, if legally permissible. Create a small area near the bridge with capacity for 10 - 15 trucks and trailers roughly comparable to the Dunedin Marina ramp lot; require an annual resident permit, charge a meaningful fee for responsible management , cap the number of permits , if necessary, establish clear rules , and make serious or repeat violations grounds for losing the permit. Make it a 1-year pilot and measure the parking , complaints , enforcement incidents , and environmental conditions then come back with actual results. Claudia Nable of 1094 Suemar Rd., Dunedin Related she has ha d a lot of negative experience with jet skis ; safety is the major concern. There are other places to launch jet skis . Noted the resiliency since the hurricanes that have come back; marine life and so forth , things that should have been considered before the hurricane forced looking at. 26-13

Regular Meeting Minutes September 3, 2026 Dunedin City Commission She also has friend who was swimming and was hit by a jet ski off the Causeway . Two deaths in a couple of years are two deaths too many . Megan Colby of 1269 Royal Oak Dr., Dunedin Was representing the Suncoast Sierra Club and herself as a Dunedin resident. She related her experience on the Causeway after reopening for people to walk and the improved environmental status . With this new ordinance , there will be a head start on planned continued impro vements to the resiliency with plantings of native plantings like mangroves and native grasses along the Causeway for water clarity and wildlife . Harry Mattheus of 646 Scotland St., Dunedin A member of the Causeway & Coastal Waterways Committee and the Marina Advisory Committee ; however , was speaking on his own behalf. Grudgingly , he does think this is the right th ing. It is because of a small group that has overwhelmed that launching has to stop . He is not against jet skis or jet ski groups ; it just cannot be managed now . Permits and so forth , as previously mentioned , is something he brought up with the committee or somehow being creative to allow both and take into consideration the plans for the new bridge and maybe have a ramp , some way to accommodate . Sean Spencer of 4250 Woodfield Ave., Holiday Their group has over a million strong enthusiasts , and they are spreading the word to stay out of Dunedin, the gas stations , or hotels . They are moving their people to Pasco where they are embracing them. They are taking a large portion of money from the city . Nancy Schmidt of 1380 Daffodil Pl., #205, Dunedin A member of the Causeway & Coastal Waterways Committee , which for a few years the agenda of the committee had issues related to problems with jet skis on the Causeway. The problems included traffic disruptions , need for police presence on the Causeway and on the water almost every weekend, the sale of merchandise, and jet ski rentals ; those are some issues they were constantly dealing with. The committee worked with the City and County , the pol ice , the FWC , and neighboring community groups to try to remediate some of the issues. It was after much consideration that they made this recommendation to the Commission to prohibit the launch of motorized watercraft; it was not an easy decision . The Committee decision had nothing to do with seagrass. It was really related to the problems she mentioned being experienced because of the volume of jet skis and manpower involved in taking care of those issues. The attachments in the agenda tonight are noteworthy in that they show the various organizations in support. She thought those validate the recommendation and the actions by the City . John Loubier of 436 Helen St., Dunedin He feels this decision was made before the 2024 hurricanes , because as soon as the Causeway had any little problems it was closed. The beach area people used opened quickly, wh ich had boats , jet skis , and other things piled on that side. On the other side , they had barrels up before the concrete blocks and sometimes those were not there. He was there after the hurricanes and his observation was there was no damage , just some water ruts ; the area was not overrun by water over the Causeway like it was on the south side . He thought the opportunity presented itself to close the area and it has been closed. 26-14

Regular Meeting Minutes September 3, 2026 Dunedin City Commission People want to be able to bring their cars and so forth up close to the water . Rita Foley of 700 Mease Plaza, 432, Dunedin Alternative launching spots already exist. The post-hurricane halt has proved this sparking an ecological and rebirth of marine li fe. The jet skis community has regrettably suffered damage to their reputat ion as a whole because of repeated irresponsible actions on the part of a minority of jet ski owners. However , the incidents , as documented in the Pinellas County Sheriff's report , do show there is a problem that existing ordinances and the current tools available to law enforcement have failed to mitigate . She asked that Dunedin 's safety and environment be prior itized . An eComment was submitted by Ryan Moore : I'm a Dunedin resident and I support Ordinance 26-08 . The Causeway beach gets too crowded with swimmers and kids for moto rized watercraft to be launching right off the shore , it 's a safety issue waiting to happen , and it's tearing up the shoreline too . There are boat ramps nearby for that. Please move this forward An eComment was submitted by Jim Limpert : Lived in Clearwater for 49 yrs , moved to Dunedin , Ward island 5 yrs ago. Why , because of the serenity of the parks , bike tra il and causeway. In 5 yrs have see the jet ski launches on weekends go from 20 to easily over 50 a day. Fights are common with launching . Two sheriff cars are normally parked there to try and keep order. Noise levels made it not family friendly. About the shoreline , you can now walk the causeway and see the grass coming back close to shore . More birds then I've seen in a couple years. Porpoises swimming close to shore so there must be more for them to eat. With a boat ramp ½ mile north + large one 3 mile south , 60 and Gandy causeway, there are plenty of other locations Hearing and seeing no one else wishing to speak , Mayor Freaney closed the public input. Commission Comments Commissioner Gow commented: His opinion is that part of this challenge is not something that happened two years ago, as one resident speaker said ; it was before. He thinks it started a hundred years ago as Dunedin , Pinellas , and Pasco grew, and local governments did not anticipate access to the water. There is very limited access to the water . There were groups who wanted a sailing center in Dunedin , but where would you put it. Sailability is a wonderful organization that helps get disabled people out on the water . They tried to get access at Dunedin Marina , which he believes happened , but it is very limited . Other organizations are trying to get more people out on the water and they can't. He thinks a lot of that was decision-making 50 and 60 years ago which could have done better in hindsight. For the people who live in Pasco County, they are driving all the way to Dunedin to launch and he wonders how many opportunities they are passing and , hopefully, if they were this local in Dunedin , there is also this local for all the municipalities and county governments in Pasco County to get access . This is really a population problem , not just an increase , but in the desire of the people who live here with a greater focus on the environment. It can be discussed that stormwater runoff is the bigger damage to the seagrass. Certainly , there is some runoff , and the City is doing as much as it can to rectify that issue. There was a time when the thinking was that we could not do any damage to the oceans; an article today talked about the amount of radioactive waste dumped in the North Atlantic between 1950 to 1990 because they truly thought that was a good 26- 15

Regular Meeting Minutes September 3, 2026 Dunedin City Commission receptacle to get rid of it ; what are they saying now . Everyone is learning as we go and now , what are we going to do about it? With population growth , something has to give . He does like the idea of trying to find some middle ground , a smaller piece of land to use and sort of control it ; however, enforcement would be the big issue . Hiring more law enforcemen t cannot always be the answer and budget constraints are an issue. Amendment #3 is coming up that might eliminate the ability to have the Sheriff at all because that is all paid through property taxes. There can be many reasons not to do this , includ ing it is manmade and so forth . This is not a solve-every-issue if this is passed ; someone is always going to try the same as speed limits and people who speed. He agrees with permitting a license and that is what a Marina is for and , as he said on the first reading , we need to look at the ability to do that. That is , what does it look like to have jet sk i access to the ramp at the Marina , the cost , the enforcement , and so forth . Fo r jet skis , it is not on the Causeway , not completely . He expressed appreciation to all those who came tonight and for the emails and the number of civic organizations that signed letters that need to be taken into consideration . Also , the majority of those speaking out about the ban being Duned in residents really puts the Commission in a position . He will be voting in favor. Vice Mayor Walker commented : This is not necessarily against jet skiers ; comments were made in regard to there is a minority that exhibits worse behavior than others . He thought one thing missing from the slides is a zoomed in picture of the overall area on the Causeway. This is really about two issues : number one is safety and number two is the lack of infrastructure . He knows the area very well as a captain on the Caladesi Ferry . The area whe re jet skis are being launched , the south side of the Causeway , is very constricted ; the channel is narrow and there is no room for error. Add into the mix the jet skiers who don 't know the area , possibly have been drinking during the day , he would say is a recipe for disaster. It has already been seen what can happen. After the hurricanes , the topography changed significantly . The sandbar to the north of Caladesi at low tide is actually in the channel itself ; the sandbar to the west of High & Dry has expanded more to the west ; Hurricane Pass has become so that there is a channel marker sitting on the beach . The area has become more dangerous . Put into the mix the boaters who use the channel to go out to the gulf or come in from the gulf and go back to St. Joseph Sound or whatever marina ; that is a designated channel. Then take into account the jet sk is from a very constricted area of the Causeway ; now introduced complete chaos . It is a safety issue . The other part is the lack of infrastructure. The area where they are launching jet skis, there is no infrastructure ; it is pure beach and the wrong place. He did want to take exception to the comments regarding the impact on the environment. The organizations voicing their support are those that make up the city 's water , boating , and coastal community. He has a lot of respect for those groups . He referred to and described a video that shows the area before the hurricanes when the jet skis were launching from the Causeway and then an overhead video of after the hurricanes when the jet skis were not launching ; a more robust seagrass area can clearly be seen . 26-16

Regular Meeting Minutes September 3, 2026 This is about doing the right thing for our community. Commissioner Sandbergen commented : Dunedin City Commission He acknowledged the members of the various committees, noting they are on those committees because this is their specialty; what they understand, more than he does. Much work went into the groups coming up with the opinions and he considers them to be the experts. He thought there were very few operators of the personal watercraft that made it bad for everyone ; he could be wrong . At the last meeting , some of them said they were going to ride and they would be back. He appreciates all the time and energy that went into this and he will support bringing it to an end tonight. Commissioner Dugard commented : The Commission has , on numerous occasions , found themselves in a situation of trying to balance the rights of the collective versus the rights of the individual. He thinks this is another example . They are not wanting to limit certain things because jet skis are fun ; yet there are the rights of the collective to have a healthy Sound and a place where they can walk down the Trail and not hear the roar of a jet ski. He did want to focus on the discussion is not about what goes on in the Sound ; it is just about what goes on along the Causeway and what can launch from it. He was reminded by City Manager Bramley that the City cannot stop what happens in the Sound ; however , it can control the launch from the Causeway. He hates to see the rights of the individual hampered ; it bothers him. However , there are the rights of the collective and they have to weigh that. He thinks , in this particular instance , they find the rights of the collective have to supersede the rights of the individual; it has to be that way for a number of reasons , not just one; not just the seagrass ; not just safety . He is in support of this . He commended City staff for the excellent job of the presentation and the Dunedin Causeway & Coastal Waterways Committee for bringing this forward in a very good package with cogent thinking , making it so much easier for the Commission . Even for those who oppose the proposition , they did so in a fashion of respect and honor. Mayor Freaney commented : She would not repeat much that had been said , which she agreed with . There is a lot going on along the Causeway. She was here when it was decided to give that small space for launching ; the thinking was they had to give them something. There is still part of her that thinks of giving them something ; however , she thinks it comes down to a lot of the smaller craft , not just the jet skis ; there is a lot going on . She is not sure it is a fit to have that launch there. She agreed there is a lack of infrastructure. It is not just the launching; it is the trailers ; it is not intended for trailers to be brought in, in her op inion. When looking at safety and traffic , that is part of it. At the last meeting, most of the people who spoke against the ban were from somewhere else. She was thinking there was enough traffic and no need to do something to create more traffic. She respected the comments and the Commission did not set out to do this knowing the reason for the decision to give that space before ; however , she thinks that has been outgrown and there is too much going on and too many safety and traffic issues . She thinks this is a situation where Dunedin cannot be everything to everyone and they have to think about and stay with the primary purpose of the area. She added that there are not a lot of issues where the citizens are loud and clear, as this one has sort of been. The city's residents and committees have been loud and clear , and it is difficult 26-17

Regular Meeting Minutes September 3, 2026 Dunedin City Commission for a couple who do not want the ban ; she understands . She has to say between emails , calls , and the meetings that have been loud and outspoken , we do not want this anymore; she has to respect that as those are the people who put her on the dais. She also respects those who do not want the ban who came out to speak. She is in favor of the ban and the City should continue to work with the County to ensure there are proper places for people to launch , which has been a countywide problem for a long time . This is not the place to solve that issue . VOTE: Motion carried with Commissioners Gow , Sandbergen , Walker , and Dugard and Mayor Freaney voting aye . Voting nay : None. BREAK 8:10 P.M. - 8:21 P.M . 3.b. STARRED ITEM: Resolution 26-21 , A resolution of the City Commission of the City of Dunedin , FL, Amending Resolution 07-17 by adoption of a revised Exhibit "A" to provide a clearer and more readable map of the allowable operations of motorized watercraft around the Dunedin Causeway, making findings providing for reasons for such updated map; and providing for an effective date hereof. Mayor Freaney requested a motion to place item 3.b., Resolution 26-21 , on the agenda . MOTION: Motion was made by Vice Mayor Walker and seconded by Commissioner Dugard to place item 3.b. , Resolution 26-21 , on the agenda . VOTE: Motion carried unanimously. City Attorney Cowan read Resolution 26-21 by title only . MOTION: Motion was made by Vice Mayor Walker and seconded by Commissioner Dugard to adopt Resolution 26-21 , amending Resolution 07-17 by adoption of a revised Dunedin Causeway map with change to correct zip code. Staff Presentation Strategy & Sustainability Manager Delfino reviewed the history , as provided in the Staff Memorandum - Background and advised : As staff were looking at the accompanying ordinance, as far as where this map lives , Attachment A, they noted there were some outdated code references in addition to its being very difficult to read the designations and outline . This action is simply to update the map that is a cleaner picture , same exact map with the same designations . It does not alter any of the waterway usage designations. It simply provides an updated , cleaner , and more legible map. It should be noted it does not change any of the water designations and it does not pertain to the adjacent Land Use designations. The changes to the map beyond cleaning it up and making it more legible include updating the legend to correct the cited ordinance number and the title bar which updated the City 's address and the resolution number. No substantive changes made to the map itself. Questions for Staff Commissioner Dugard inquired regarding the area focused on relative to the launch area and the fact it is still for boating ; why was just restoring that whole area to the watercraft-prohibited 26-18

Regular Meeting Minutes September 3, 2026 Dunedin City Commission section not considered ; why it was not brought down to the br idge. He did not understand the area that is City in the circle dots . Ms. Delfino explained that amending waterway designations is a much more complex process that would involve the State , Florida Fish & Wildlife , as those are set by them and not referenced in the City Code . City Manager Bramley added tha t the timing was not right as it would take a year , minimum , to change the waterway designations ; b
