C. +++ Agenda Review Only +++ Update from Safe Neighborhoods on Spring Lake Square – Tanya Ayers, Safe Neighborhoods Director City Manager Stavres said this was in response to a request by Mayor Pro Tem Yates. Assistant City Manager for Public Safety Bird said there were three active cases: Floridino’s [Italian Kitchen] – 1919 6th Street NE in Winter Haven On October 14, 2024, damage assessments revealed a tree had fallen into the building, allowing the City to condemn it and issue a notice of violation. The special magistrate extended deadlines into August 2025, but by September a Special Magistrate Hearing on September 4, 2025 showed Winbran had hired Southern Majestic Homes as the contractor for demolition and began the process of bidding, permitting, and utility disconnects related thereto. An 17

CITY COMMISSION AGENDA REVIEW SESSION – September 17, 2025 Page 2 of 5 asbestos survey was also completed, and by mid-September, 2025 the contractor filed for a demolition permit. As of then, $8,250 in fines had accrued at $250 per day, with additional fines continuing until demolition. Fines could later be reduced, but actual hard costs, estimated around $1,000 or less, must be paid. The magistrate had originally authorized City-led demolition, but Winbran’s permit prevented dual action, meaning Winbran the property owner’s agent would complete demolition via the contractor. This was considered the best outcome for taxpayers, though fines would continue until the building was demolished and removed. Chile Verde [Mexican Restaurant] 1925 8 th Street NW in Winter Haven October 14, 2024, City Code Compliance inspections identified violations and gave 60 days for compliance. A February 2025 reinspection found only partial compliance, and in April, 2025 the Special Magistrate ordered 30 days for full compliance plus a $50 daily fine thereafter. By May, 2025 most violations remained unresolved, with fines accruing. Officials explained that fines could escalate up to $250 per day for first offenses, $500 per day for repeat violations, and as much as $5,000 for irreparable cases under Florida law. They also noted that hard costs such as contractor work, or asbestos surveys would be added to fines and, if unpaid, placed as liens on the property. As of the most recent update, the Chile Verde property had accumulated $6,150 in fines with 8 violations still outstanding. Havendale Strip Plaza (entire plaza) In October 2024, City Code Compliance inspect issued a notice of violation with 30 days for compliance. Reinspections found only partial compliance, with 3 of 15 violations corrected. The property accumulated $4,650 in fines. Reported violations included fence maintenance, junk and debris, loose garbage, deteriorating exterior walls, roof and drainage issues, overhang extensions, and sign maintenance, including outdated business signs. Discussion ensued regarding concerns about homeless encampments near U.S. 17 and other City areas. When camps were cleared, displaced individuals relocated elsewhere, making tracking difficult. The City worked with Polk County and the Homeless Coalition of Polk County to mitigate impacts, focusing on health and safety hazards from debris. A new trespass sign program gave police authority to arrest trespassers on private property without waiting for property owner authorization. City staff emphasized that homelessness itself was not a crime but public property use was restricted by ordinance. Patrols, bike units, and daily checks at known hotspots helped deter activity. Officials discussed security cameras downtown and discussion ensued. There was also discussion about blighted buildings. Some could be condemned or demolished if declared unsafe by the building official, as with the Floridino’s property. Due process was required, but statutory authority allowed unsafe structures to be ordered for demolition when necessary. 6. DEVELOPMENTS OF NOTE – None 7. MINUTES A.

Mayor Pro Tem Yates asked about the status of the CDFI funding, noting whether the $500,000 had been obligated. City Manager Stavres explained that the amount had been appropriated in the budget but would not be distributed until the organization was fully ready, with IRS approvals and other federal requirements completed. The funds would serve as equity for issuing loans to qualifying small businesses and others in the community. City Manager Stavres noted it could be ready by the end of the year, though earlier updates suggested a longer timeline. Mayor 18
