ACTION ITEMS a. Fiscal year 2027 Proposed Aggregate Millage Rate and Dates for Tentative and Final Budget Hearings Mayor) The Commission entered discussion of the proposed aggregate millage rate for Fiscal Year 2027. City Attorney Pam Cichon and staff discussed the requirements of recently enacted Senate Bi11 4 and the uncertainty surrounding voting thresholds for establishing a proposed maximum millage rate versus the tentative and final budget hearings. Discussion continued regarding the proposed aggregate millage rate and the voting requirements under recently enacted state law. The item was tabled twice to allow the Attorney Cichon time to review and clarify the statutory voting requirements. Following legal clarification, Chair Salem stated that he would not vote in favor of the motion exceeding 1.65 millage. Commissioners discussed the City's financial condition, reserve levels, projected revenues, budget deficit, and the need to maintain flexibility while continuing to refine the proposed budget. Various potential maximum millage rates were discussed, including 1.65, 1.85, 1.90,and 2.05 mills. Motion: Commissioner Lynch moved, Commissioner Ardent seconded and the motion Failed 4-1 to approve the proposed aggregate millage rate not to exceed 1.85 mills for Fiscal Year 2027 for the City of Anna Maria; schedule the Tentative Budget Hearing for September 8, 2026, at 5:01 p.m.,or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard, and the Final Budget Hearing for September 23, 2026, at 5:01 p.m.,or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard. Chair Salem voted No. Commissioners discussed the scheduling requirements for the TRIM process under state law, including the statutory deadlines for the tentative and final budget hearings. Staff and Attorney Cichon reviewed the applicable timing requirements,publication deadlines, and the impact of recently enacted Senate Bi11 4 on the budget adoption process. The Commission also discussed Commissioner availability and adjusted the hearing dates to ensure compliance with statutory requirements. Following discussion, the Commission established the Tentative Budget Hearing for September 8,2026, at 5:01 p.m.,and the Final Budget Hearing for September 23, 2026, at 5:01 p.m.,or as soon thereafter as the matters may be heard. Commissioners discussed maintaining flexibility as the budget process continues. Mayor Short expressed concern that maintaining the current millage rate would not generate sufficient revenue to replenish the City's reserves following recent storm -related expenditures and emphasized the importance of rebuilding reserve funds for future emergencies. Other Commissioners expressed concern about increasing the tax burden on residents and preferred to continue evaluating revenues and expenditures before establishing a final millage rate.

July 23,2026 Anna Maria City Commission Page 3 of 5 Following additional legal clarification from Attorney Cichon that a simple majority could establish the proposed aggregate millage rate, Commissioner Lynch moved to approve a proposed aggregate millage rate not to exceed 1.85 mills for Fiscal Year 2027 and to establish the required budget hearing dates. Motion: Commissioner Lynch moved, Commissioner Ardent seconded and the motion carried 4-1 to approve the proposed aggregate millage rate not to exceed 1.85 mills for Fiscal Year 2027 for the City of Anna Maria; schedule the Tentative Budget Hearing for September 8,2026, at 5:01 p.m.,or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard, and the Final Budget Hearing for September 23, 2026, at 5:01 p.m.,or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard.

Commissioners disclosed ex parte communications, conflicts of interest, and site visits. No Commissioner was disqualified from participating. Deputy City Clerk Barbara Jeffries administered the oath to all individuals intending to provide testimony during the quasi-judicial public hearing. City Clerk Amber LaRowe presented the staff report, explaining that the applicant was requesting authorization to remove a designated Grand Tree located at 610 North Bay Boulevard. Staff reviewed the property's history, the circumstances surrounding the tree removal request, applicable provisions of the City's Grand Tree Ordinance, and the available mitigation options authorized by the Code. The Presentation has been made part ofthe record. Planning Consultant, Devyn Brown ( CCNA) presented the consultant's evaluation and recommended that mitigation be provided through a $ 10,000 to $ 12,000 contribution to the City's Tree Replacement Fund, consistent with the City's Grand Tree Ordinance. The recommendation was based on the value of the Grand Tree and would allow the City to determine the most appropriate location for replacement tree planting. Applicant Matthew Kempson addressed the Commission, explaining the circumstances surrounding the removal request, the condition of the tree, and the property's redevelopment. Kempson requested that mitigation be accomplished through replacement trees planted on the property. The Commission discussed the mitigation options available under the ordinance, including requiring replacement trees on -site, requiring a monetary contribution to the City's Tree Replacement Fund, or a combination of both. Commissioners discussed the public benefit of allowing the City to determine the most appropriate location for replacement trees and the need to preserve the intent of the Grand Tree Ordinance. Following discussion, Mayor Short expressed support for requiring a contribution to the City's Tree Replacement Fund, noting that the City could utilize the funds to plant replacement trees in public areas where they would provide the greatest community benefit. Mr. Kempson reiterated a preference for planting replacement trees on the property but acknowledged the Commission's authority under the ordinance. Attorney Cichon confirmed that the City Commission has the

July 23, 2026 Anna Maria City Commission Page 4 of 5 authority under the Grand Tree Ordinance to require payment into the City's Tree Replacement Fund as an alternative mitigation measure. Motion: Commissioner Arendt moved, Commissioner Morgan -Johnson seconded and the motion carried 5-0 to require the applicant to make a $ 12,000 contribution to the City's Tree Replacement Fund pursuant to the City's Grand Tree Ordinance. c.

Tampa Bay Marine: Change Work Order Motion: Commissioner McMullen moved Commissioner Arendt seconded, and the motion carried 4-0 to approve the July 14, 2026, Consent Agenda items a. and d. 4. ACTION I TEMS a. After-the-Fact Fee Waiver Request Applicant James owner of Solid Rock Construction Group requested relief from an after- the-fact permit penalty associated with work performed before permit issuance. Commission reviewed the circumstances surrounding work that began prior to permit issuance, including the permit application process and applicable penalties. After discussion, the Commission found that the violation resulted from an administrative error rather than an intentional attempt to circumvent the permitting process and supported reducing the assessed penalty. Motion: Commissioner Arendt moved Commissioner Morgan-Johnson seconded and the motion carried 4-0 to approve the reduction of after-the-fact fees in the amount of $4,435.70 for permit activities associated with 521 Bayview Place. b. Quasi-Judicial Hearing - Grand Tree Removal Request- 610 N. Bay Boulevard City Attorney Pam Chicone opened the quasi-judicial hearing regarding the Grand Tree Removal Request for 610 North Bay Boulevard and provided an overview of quasi-judicial procedures. She explained that the Commission’s decision must be based on competent and substantial evidence presented through testimony and documentation. Attorney Chicone advised that all testimony must be factual, and expert testimony, written reports, and fact- based personal observations may be considered by the Commission. Attorney Chicone requested disclosure of any conflicts of interest or ex-parte communications. No conflicts of interest or ex-parte communications were disclosed by the Commission members or Mayor. All individuals providing testimony were sworn in by City Clerk Amber LaRowe Applicant Matthew Kempson, representing 610 North Bay LLC, provided testimony regarding the tree located at 610 North Bay Boulevard. Mr. Kempson stated that after purchasing the property, the owner identified a sea hibiscus tree growing into a power line and contacted Florida Power & Light (FPL) regarding the hazard. He stated that FPL trimmed the tree and later advised that the trimming caused significant damage and recommended removal. He stated that an ISA Certified Arborist was contacted and determined the tree posed an unacceptable risk and recommended removal. He advised that a contractor was scheduled to remove the tree; however, the City issued a stop work order because the contractor did not have the arborist documentation available onsite.

July 14, 2026 Anna Maria City Commission Page 3 of 5 Mr. Kempson provided photographs showing the condition of the tree before FPL trimming, after FPL trimming, and its current condition. He stated that the tree was no longer providing meaningful shade, had been significantly damaged, and requested permission to remove the remaining portion of the tree. He also stated that the property owner was willing to install native landscaping and work with the City on replacement options. The Commission questioned the applicant regarding the timing of the arborist report, the removal process, and additional cuts visible on the tree Attorney Chicone advised that the hazardous tree exemption requires documentation supporting the hazard determination prior to removal work. She noted that the arborist report submitted was dated after photographs showing damage had already occurred. Mr. Kempson stated that an earlier arborist letter had been provided but required corrections and additional documentation. He acknowledged responsibility for ensuring the documentation was complete. Public Works Manager Dean Jones was sworn in and provided testimony regarding the condition of the tree. Mr. Jones stated that the tree had been a significant and attractive tree and that Public Works had recently performed maintenance in the area. He stated that, based on his observations, the tree damage appeared to have occurred from removal activity using equipment and was not caused solely by FPL trimming. The Commission discussed potential remedies, including: 1. Replacement of the removed Grand Tree with a comparable tree meeting City requirement; or 2. Payment into the City’s tree fund in an amount equivalent to the cost of replacement. Attorney Chicone explained that staff would need to provide a formal recommendation regarding replacement costs, including tree cost, staff time, and other associated expenses, before the Commission could make a final determination. Commission discussed the difficulty of replacing a 29-inch DBH tree with a comparable specimen and the associated costs. Mr. Jones estimated that a comparable native replacement tree could cost at least $5,000, while Commissioners noted that costs for larger mature trees could be significantly higher. Mr. Kempson stated that he would prefer consideration of younger native trees that could establish and grow over time but remained open to working with the City regarding the final landscaping solution Motion: Commissioner McMullen moved Commissioner Arendt seconded, and the motion carried 4-0 to continue consideration of mitigation/remedy requirements to the next City Commission meeting pending staff recommendations.

July 14, 2026 Anna Maria City Commission Page 4 of 5 Motion: Commissioner McMullen moved Commissioner Arendt seconded and the motion carried 4-0 to authorize removal of the remaining portions of the tree located at 610 North Bay Boulevard. c. Approval of a Change Order with Tangerine Group - added Mayor Short presented a change order for installation and later removal of protective matting along the pier walkway during demolition and remediation work. Motion: Commissioner McMullen moved Commissioner Morgan-Johnson seconded and the motion carried 4-0 to approve the Change Work Order with Tangerine Group for installation and later removal of protective matting along the pier walkway. 6. CAPITAL PROJECTS UPDATE – MAYOR /JONES Public Works Manager Dean Jones provided an update on several ongoing capital improvement projects. He reported that installation of the electrical panel platform at the City Pier is underway and that the electrical equipment has been relocated to the side of the structure to preserve public views. Protective fencing has been installed around the work area and a gate will be added as construction progresses. Mr. Jones also announced that the Tangerine Group completed construction of the new seawall the previous week. Final site restoration, including seeding of disturbed areas, is underway.
