Recorded outcome

The city accepted a $120,000 grant from the federal Economic Development Administration to support economic revitalization and resiliency planning.

The Treasure Island Board of Commissioners voted on August 4, 2026, on several key local measures, including a failed motion to place City Manager Charlie Van Zant on paid administrative leave, the approval of a ballot referendum for a supermajority vote on planned developments, and the establishment of an auditor selection committee. The commission also accepted a $120,000 federal economic development award and approved roadway repair agreements.

Why it matters

Residents face potential changes to local development rules if voters approve a supermajority requirement, and city management leadership remains unsettled following a tied vote on the city manager's suspension.

On invitation from City Manager Van Zant, Parks and Recreation Director Cathy Haydukediscussed shade trees for Rosselli Park and asked for direction on how to proceed. Vice MayorVasquez asked the approximate growth time. Director Hayduke said more mature trees were less hardy, had higher mortality rates, and the recommendation from the arborist was for less mature trees. Commissioner Czyszczon asked the biggest sized tree that could be purchased.Director Hayduke relayed tree sizes and prices. Commissioner Dickey questioned if there was money available in the budget. Director Hayduke said there was about $ 15,000 for a standalone sunshade for the swings. Vice Mayor Vasquez discussed potential options. Director Haydukeagreed the existing shade sails could be moved to the standalone swings and other shade options for the rest of the structures could be explored. Vice Mayor Vasquez said the trees would be nice, but would not be helpful for shade and was still in favor of shade sails. Commissioner Dickey would prefer a final decision on Friday at the budget workshop. City Manager Van Zant noted there were applications with Forward Pinellas that had been denied and there was a pending connectivity project being considered and distributed a handout that showed the financial analyses of the personnel costs. J. COMMISSIONER REPORTS Based upon the documented pattern of fiscal mismanagement, excessive spending, unnecessarily costly hiring, compensation decisions, failure to respond to official inquiries,interference with Commissioners' ability to obtain information and place matters before the Commission, and inappropriate workplace conduct, and the resulting loss of trust and confidence, Vice Mayor Vasquez moved to place City Manager Charles Van Zant on paidadministrative leave effective immediately, pending the formal investigation and formal consideration of his termination for cause; further moved Mr. Van Zant immediatelyrelinquish all managerial authority, access credentials, City -issued equipment and property, and his place on the dais; and that he be provided supervised access to retrieve his personal belongings without accessing, removing, altering, or destroying Cityrecords or property; that Assistant City Manager Gary Volenec immediately assume the duties of acting City manager; that all relevant City records and communications be preserved and that the ongoing outside investigation proceed independently and without 4 35

interference and that the City Attorney place a written resolution addressing Mr. Van Zant's removal and termination for cause on the earliest legally permissible Commission agenda; further request, the Acting City Manager, to the furthest extent permitted by the City Charter and applicable law, institute a temporary administrative hold on non-public safety hiring, terminations, promotions, and material changes in employee compensation until a new city manager was appointed; any proposed creation of a new, non-public safety position shall be presented to the City Commission for approval; the hold shall not necessary police or fire personnel actions, legally required actions, employee discipline necessary to protect the City or emergency actions essential to maintaining City operations; the Acting City Manager shall promptly notify the City Commission of any action taken under the exception. Commissioner Czyszczon seconded the motion. Commissioner Dickey had not personally experienced any of the allegations listed by Vice Mayor Vasquez, felt Vice Mayor Vasquez and Commissioner Czyszczon did not meet frequently with the City Manager, praised the new Community Development Director hire, and felt it was not the appropriate time to recruit a new City Manager. Vice Mayor Vasquez said she did meet with the City Manager weekly until seven weeks ago when the meetings became uncomfortable and inappropriate conversations occurred, relayed an interaction witnessed by a City Attorney and resident that had raised voices, reported a formal grievance had been filed, and opined she had not wanted to approve the City's Manager's recent contract renewal. Mayor Doctor stated he had never had an issue with City Manager Van Zant. Commissioner Czyszczon expounded on his communications with the City Manager, had concerns with his community engagement, did not believe he was working 40 hours a week, felt the West Causeway was not sufficiently addressed, and had no confidence in his leadership. Vice Mayor Vasquez referenced the difficulties getting an item on the July 21, 2026, agenda, remarked on City Manager Van Zant's sunset pavilion discussion, and said she would move to remove the City Manager at every meeting. Commissioner Dickey commented that the scolding from City Manager Van Zant was an invitation to meet one-on-one. Vice Mayor Vasquez said the email was sent to him on July 15, 2026, and no answer had been received. Commissioner Dickey rebutted Commissioner Czyszczon's social media posts that the City Manager was not in City Hall, reiterated it was not the appropriate time to terminate the City Manager, supported an independent investigation into the accusations of fraudulent financial transactions, and wanted to hear Commissioner Clark's opinion. On advice from City Attorney Ralf Brookes, Mayor Doctor called for public comment. Mr. Rick Matthews, District 3, could not believe the termination of City Manager was occurring again without notice and with a Commissioner absent. 5 36

Ms. Judith Smith, 11955 4th Street East, encouraged deference to a higher power, common sense to rebuild the City, and kindness and felt persistence was important to getting governmentwork done. Mr. West Evans, Isle of Palms, noted Vice Mayor Vasquez said she voted to renew the CityManager's contract because she did not have sufficient votes and encouraged the Commissionto vote with their residents and for what was right. Mr. Mark Hohe, District 3, understood unacceptable workplace conditions but felt open publicdiscourse was not the appropriate method of investigating the issues presented. Ms. Sarah Pennington, Isle of Palms, observed conversations were not focused on residents,but self-interest. Mr. Grant Smith, Sunset Beach, felt the allegations were dysfunctional. The motion failed two to two; Mayor Doctor and Commissioner Dickey voted no. Commissioner Czyszczon touched on vacant hotels, asked if the Commission wanted to havea development workshop, said he could not support a PD that did not have an accompanyingComprehensive Plan and could not support the PD changes proposed, proposed 3.0 mills forthe budget, and asked staff to propose that option and a path to get there, displayed a photo ofJuno parking garage which had a public library at the top. Commissioner Dickey shared a presentation on taxing levels, encouraged Commissioners to keep an open mind when reviewing the budget presentation on Friday, and read a statementon how he viewed the City moving forward. Mayor Doctor encouraged participation at the budget workshop. K. ADJOURNMENT The meeting was adjourned at 8:04 p.m. ennedy,,,Ccy Clerk John Doc r, Mayor 6 37

AGENDA ITEM NO. G.1 Item Cover Page DATE: August 4, 2026 SUBMITTED BY: Jessica Modrak, Finance ITEM TYPE: Contracts AGENDA SECTION: CONSENT AGENDA SUBJECT: Accept and Execute Watershed Master Planning Program Agreement Contract BACKGROUND: The City’s Watershed Management Plan was completed in 2021 and later supplemented in July 2025 to clarify provisions necessary to qualify for Community Rating System (CRS) credit. While comprehensive at the time of adoption, the plan and supplement exist as separate documents and have not been consolidated into a unified planning framework. Additionally, the plan is over 5 years old and has not been formally reevaluated to reflect current hydrologic data, evolving rainfall patterns, sea level rise trends, or updated regulatory requirements. Since adoption of the original plan, Florida has implemented more stringent stormwater and watershed management regulations under SB 7040, effective February 22, 2024. These changes require new development and redevelopment projects to meet net improvement nutrient reduction standards for Total Nitrogen, Total Phosphorus, and Total Suspended Solids under the Statewide Environmental Resource Permit process. Major municipal projects currently in design, including the Public Works Yard and future Public Safety Building, must comply with these updated standards. Without revisiting and updating the watershed plan, the City risks misalignment between its adopted policies and current regulatory expectations. Failure to update and consolidate the existing watershed planning framework could result in outdated hydraulic BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS AGENDA ITEM REPORT 7

assumptions, inefficient prioritization of mitigation projects, increased permitting complexity, and missed opportunities to strengthen flood resilience and CRS standing. A comprehensive review and modernization of the City’s watershed management strategy is necessary to ensure that flood mitigation planning remains technically sound, regulatory compliant, and responsive to present and future hazard conditions. POLICY/PURPOSE: The City of Treasure Island will update its existing Watershed Management Plan (WMP) to reflect current conditions, regulatory updates, and revised conceptual improvement strategies. This effort will build upon the accepted 2021 Watershed Management Plan and the 2025 CRS Supplement and will focus on confirming the continued applicability of previous analyses while identifying practical and cost-effective improvements to the City’s stormwater system. The update will rely primarily on existing data and modeling and will not involve development of a new hydrologic and hydraulic model. STRATEGIC PLAN RELEVANCE: Goal 1: Become an environmentally sustainable and resilient community Objective 2: “Rise above” sea-level challenges Bold Action 2: Adopt the Watershed Management Plan/Stormwater Master Plan Bold Action 4: Pursue funding for and implement projects identifed by the Watershed Management Plan ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION: Ongoing municipal reconstruction projects are expected to positively support the HMGP Comprehensive Watershed Plan Update, Consolidation, and Regulatory Alignment Initiative. The City is currently rebuilding the Public Works Garage and the Public Safety Building, both of which must comply with updated Statewide ERP requirements, including SB 7040 nutrient reduction and net improvement standards. These projects provide an opportunity to integrate updated hydrologic modeling, regulatory criteria, and watershed-level stormwater performance analysis into active design and permitting efforts. While construction activities may require coordination, these capital investments strengthen overall system resilience and provide real-world implementation data that will inform and reinforce the updated watershed plan and future mitigation prioritization. FUNDING: The City has been awarded $75,000 in federal funding for the project. The WMP update is expected to cost $100,000. The City's assumed local cost share will $25,000. MOTION: I move to accept contract H1473 for the federal award of $75,000, authorize the mayor to sign under the identified 8

sections of the agreement, and acknowledge the cost share contribution of the city of $25,000 to complete the project. ATTACHMENTS: 4673-305-P67_For_Subrecipient_Signature(07-13-26) - Copy.pdf 9

In the event that different representatives or addresses are designated by either party after execution of this Agreement, notice of the name, title and address of the new representative will be provided to the other party. (4) TERMS AND CONDITIONS This Agreement contains all the terms and conditions agreed upon by the parties. (5) EXECUTION This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, any one of which may be taken as an original. (6) MODIFICATION Either party may request modification of the provisions of this Agreement. Changes which are agreed upon shall be valid only when in writing, signed by each of the parties, and attached to the original of this Agreement. (7) SCOPE OF WORK The Sub-Recipient shall perform the work in accordance with the Budget and Scope of Work, Attachment A of this Agreement. (8) PERIOD OF AGREEMENT This Agreement shall begin on March 11, 2026 and shall end on May 31, 2028, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph (17) of this Agreement. Consistent with the definition of “period of performance” contained in 2 C.F.R. §200.1, the term “period of agreement” refers to the time during which the Sub-Recipient “may incur new obligations to carry out the work authorized under” this Agreement. In accordance with section 215.971(1)(d), Florida Statutes, the Sub- Recipient may expend funds authorized by this Agreement “only for allowable costs resulting from obligations incurred during” the period of agreement. (9) FUNDING a. This is a cost-reimbursement Agreement, subject to the availability of funds. 15

5 b. The State of Florida's performance and obligation to pay under this Agreement is contingent upon an annual appropriation by the Legislature, and subject to any modification in accordance with either chapter 216, Florida Statutes, or the Florida Constitution. c. The Division will reimburse the Sub-Recipient only for allowable costs incurred by the Sub-Recipient in the successful completion of each deliverable. The maximum reimbursement amount for each deliverable is outlined in Attachment A of this Agreement (“Budget and Scope of Work”). The maximum reimbursement amount for the entirety of this Agreement is $75,000.00. d. As required by 2 C.F.R. §200.415(a), any request for payment under this Agreement must include a certification, signed by an official who is authorized to legally bind the Sub-Recipient, which reads as follows: “By signing this report, I certify to the best of my knowledge and belief that the report is true, complete, and accurate, and the expenditures, disbursements and cash receipts are for the purposes and objectives set forth in the terms and conditions of the Federal award. I am aware that any false, fictitious, or fraudulent information, or the omission of any material fact, may subject me to criminal, civil or administrative penalties for fraud, false statements, false claims or otherwise. (U.S. Code Title 18, Section 1001 and Title 31, Sections 3729-3730 and 3801-3812).” e. The Division will review any request for reimbursement by comparing the documentation provided by the Sub-Recipient against a performance measure, outlined in Attachment A, that clearly delineates: i. The required minimum acceptable level of service to be performed; and, ii. The criteria for evaluating the successful completion of each deliverable. f. The performance measure required by section 215.971(1)(b), Florida Statutes, remains consistent with the requirement for a “performance goal”, which is defined in 2 C.F.R. §200.1 as “a target level of performance expressed as a tangible, measurable objective, against which actual achievement can be compared.” It also remains consistent with the requirement, contained in 2 C.F.R. §200.329, that the Division and the Sub-Recipient “relate financial data to performance goals and objectives of the Federal award.” g. If authorized by the Federal Awarding Agency, then the Division will reimburse the Sub-Recipient for overtime expenses in accordance with 2 C.F.R. §200.430 (“Compensation—personal services”) and 2 C.F.R. §200.431 (“Compensation—fringe benefits”). If the Sub-Recipient seeks reimbursement for overtime expenses for periods when no work is performed due to vacation, holiday, illness, failure of the employer to provide sufficient work, or other similar cause (See 29 U.S.C. §207(e)(2)), then the Division will treat the expense as a fringe benefit. 2 C.F.R. §200.431(a) defines fringe benefits as “allowances and services provided by employers to their employees as compensation in addition to regular salaries and wages.” Fringe benefits are allowable under this Agreement as long as the benefits are reasonable and are required by law, Sub-Recipient-employee agreement, or an established policy of the Sub-Recipient. 2 C.F.R. §200.431(b) provides that the cost of fringe benefits in 16

6 the form of regular compensation paid to employees during periods of authorized absences from the job, such as for annual leave, family-related leave, sick leave, holidays, court leave, military leave, administrative leave, and other similar benefits, are allowable if all of the following criteria are met: i. They are provided under established written leave policies; ii. The costs are equitably allocated to all related activities, including Federal awards; and, iii. The accounting basis (cash or accrual) selected for costing each type of leave is consistently followed by the non-Federal entity or specified grouping of employees. h. If authorized by the Federal Awarding Agency, then the Division will reimburse the Sub-Recipient for travel expenses in accordance with 2 C.F.R. §200.474. As required by the Reference Guide for State Expenditures, reimbursement for travel must be in accordance with section 112.061, Florida Statutes, which includes submission of the claim on the approved st
