2. PUBLIC COMMENTS Mr. Don Dallas, 442 Snapper Drive, expressed concern over the water drainage issues on his property and neighborhood properties. He thanked the city for their initial efforts but requested more permanent solutions.

Mr. Gary Pavo, Laguna Point, expressed that Laguna Point residents were not properly notified about the April 15th meeting regarding the public parking spaces at Dolphin Point.

He urged the council to reinstate the parking spaces and address the community' s needs adequately. Ms. Janice Nicole Moran, 208 Snapper Drive, echoed the previous speaker' s concerns about the removal of the parking spaces, highlighting the inconvenience and potential impact on local events and medical access. She requested reconsideration of parking space removal and exploration of alternative solutions such as paid parking or resident- only parking with stickers. Mr. James Dexter, 28 Moreno Point Road, raised concerns about the one- way in and out access at Point South Townhomes.

Page 2 of 12

Some members of the council raised concerns about the public notification process and asked for clarifications. The City Engineer detailed the notifications sent out to residents within 300 feet of the Destin Point project area, explaining that notices were sent on February 26th for the April 15th meeting and on April 25th for tonight' s meeting. He added that despite these efforts, there were complaints from residents about not being notified in advance. Capt. Jason Fulghum, from the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office, provided data on calls for service in the Dolphin Point area, stating that there were 115 calls for service in the past year, but only 36 of those were related to potential criminal activity. Of those, only 6 resulted in reports. He emphasized that the area is not crime- ridden and that many calls were for non- criminal issues like medical emergencies and welfare checks. Councilmember Hebert moved for approval of the Hold Harmless and Maintenance Agreement with the Dolphin Point Homeowners Association, as presented; seconded by Councilmember Stephens. Several council members expressed concerns about the impact of the parking spaces at Dolphin Point on surrounding properties and residents. Discussions included: The feasibility of making the parking spots available only to residents with a city parking sticker. Suggestions to create a system where only residents of the two affected buildings could park in those spots. Potential reconfiguration of the parking spots to parallel parking to ensure compliance with city code. Councilmember Bagby offered a substitute motion to direct city staff to evaluate the feasibility of parallel parking spaces in the affected area and report back to the council; seconded by Councilmember King. The motion was discussed, with some council members suggesting further exploration of parallel parking options. Ms. Alicia Belcher, representing Dolphin Point, expressed frustration with the ongoing issues and detailed the efforts made by the Dolphin Point board to comply with city standards. She also reemphasized the safety concerns and the need for a resolution that would prevent misuse of the parking spaces by non-residents. The mayor called for a vote on the substitute motion, which passed 6- 0 ( Council members King, Hebert, Bagby, Destin, Geile, and Stephens voted " yes"; Councilmember Schmidt was absent from the meeting) B. Mobility Plan - Project Priority List The City Engineer and consultant presented the draft Destin Mobility Plan to the city council. Page 3 of 12

The draft Destin Mobility Plan includes more than 60 distinct transportation improvements that are estimated to cost approximately $ 150 million. Each project would bring benefits to people that use the transportation system. The number and cost of the projects exceed the city' s capacity to implement them in the near term, making prioritization important. Public and stakeholder input played an important role in shaping the prioritization process and recommendation described in the report. In February 2022, the city held a public meeting to obtain early input for the Mobility Plan. Attendees participated in a series of real- time polling questions. People were asked how they would allocate $ 100 towards the city' s infrastructure. The city held a second public meeting in August 2023 to obtain input on specific projects. Attendees ranked project types in order of priority. The city also engaged with the Parks and Recreation Committee, Local Planning Agency, and Public Works/Public Safety Committee in October and November 2023 to obtain input on project prioritization. Based on the technical analysis, public input, and committee input, staff worked with the city' s consulting team to draft a proposed prioritization. The prioritization divides the project into three phases of 8 years each. The projects for each phase are presented in a series of tables as shown in the report. Proposed Phase 1 consists of 8 projects that the public, staff, and city officials have consistently highlighted as top priorities. These projects are proposed to advance to construction by 2032. Proposed Phase 2 consists of 35 projects proposed to be under construction by 2041. This phase includes more sidewalks, bicycle lanes, and multi- use path projects than any other phase. Proposed Phase 3 consists of 22 projects proposed to be under construction by 2050. This phase includes more intersection enhancements than any other phase. The final step in prioritization is to obtain the input of the city council and make adjustments based on their feedback and direction. The key questions for city council to provide input on are: Which projects should be moved up to a higher level of priority? Which projects should be moved down to a lower level of priority? Once priorities are set, the staff and its consulting team will finalize the Mobility Plan and bring it back to the city council to consider for adoption. During deliberation, council members expressed the need for another public workshop involving the council to gather additional input and detailed criteria for project prioritization. Councilmember Destin moved to schedule a City Council Workshop on Mobility Plan, preceding the City Council Budget Workshop on May 13th, seconded by Councilmember King. Motion passed 6-0( Council members King, Hebert, Bagby, Destin, Geile, and Stephens voted " yes"; Councilmember Schmidt was absent from the meeting) Page 4 of 12

C. Cross- Town Connector Contract Amendment According to the City Engineer, the city council approved a motion on April 15, 2024 directing the City Manager to have staff move forward with PD& E reevaluation Option B and bring back proposed funding sources for the $ 110, 000 change order with Atkins Engineering. Staff recommends using Gas Tax # 2 for Amendment # 5 to Atkins contract to update the Environmental Impact Report for the Destin Crosstown Connector. Councilmember Bagby moved to approve Amendment# 5 to Atkins contract to update the Environmental Impact Report for the Cross-Town Connector using the funding from Gas Tax # 2, seconded by Councilmember Hebert. Motion passed 6-0 ( Council members King, Hebert, Bagby, Destin, Geile, and Stephens voted " yes"; Councilmember Schmidt was absent from the meeting) D. Quarterly Investment Report- For Informational Only The council reviewed the current quarterly investment report with schedules showing the current status of the city investment accounts with Raymond James. The council requested staff to explore the possible inclusion of Florida Prime Benchmark in the investment report in future reports. E. Announcements 1.
