APPROVAL OF REGULAR AND WORKSHOP AGENDAS Commissioner Czyszczon wanted to add two agenda items at the beginning of Items of Business, the first one would be to increase parking fees from $ 4 to $ 6 for all public parking effectively immediately and put the money in a restrictive fund.

Acting City Manager William “Trip” Barrs relayed that Code Enforcement was increasing patrolling and enforcement.

ITEMS OF BUSINESS I.1 City Manager Recruitment Update Human Resources Director Jessica Zamora had connected with Strategic Government Resources (SGR) on providing recruitment services, would be sending an updated brochure for Commission review, and asked the Commission about preferences for meeting the SGR representative. The Commission consented to meeting via Zoom. Responding to inquiries, Director Zamora noted the recruitment timeframe could be three to four months. Attorney Cowan stated Mr. Chuck Anderson’s severance agreement would be brought to the June 3, 2025, Regular meeting. Discussion followed about how well Acting City Manager Barrs was performing and the desire for him to remain in the position while the SGR recruitment occurred. Vice Mayor Vasquez clarified the City would be hiring a short-term City Manager since the Interim City Manager was not outlined in the charter. Attorney Cowan noted the severance agreement had been sent to Mr. Anderson and any changes would need to go through incoming City Attorney Anthony Sabatini and suggested including critical items in the recruitment brochure that would narrow the number of candidates presented to the Commission.

Vice Mayor Vasquez moved to approve the City Manager to enter into a contract with Willscot Inc. for $391,856 to provide 18 months of temporary public safety facilities to the police and fire departments, seconded by Mayor Doctor for discussion. Commissioner Czyszczon wanted to do the second option that was 18-months for Fire and 12-months for 7

4 Police. Commissioner Clark favored moving police to the fourth floor. The motion failed two to two; Commissioners Clark and Czyszczon voted no. Commissioner Czyszczon moved to approve the City Manager to enter into a contract with Willscot Inc. for $337,938 to provide 18 months of temporary fire department facilities and 12 months of temporary police department facilities, seconded by Vice Mayor Vasquez. On prompt from Commissioner Clark, Commissioner Czyszczon restated the motion. Commissioner Czyszczon believed his motion allowed for more flexibility. Discussion continued on potential Police Department Stations pending State funding. Responding to Vice Mayor Vasquez, City Attorney Cowan confirmed if the motion failed, the item could be brought to the May 27th Special Meeting for reconsideration.

The property was purchased in September 2018. In October 2022, the City Commission approved Resolution BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS AGENDA ITEM REPORT 13

2022-11 accepting the Florida Communities Trust (FCT) 2018- 2019 Funding Cycle Grant for the purchase of the Isle of Palms Park Property (Lots 4 & 5) (“Grant Agreement”). The Grant Agreement imposes certain terms and conditions on the lands acquired under the Florida Communities Trust Act that must be met prior to the disbursement of any FCT Florida Forever funds. Specifically, the Grant Agreement requires the City to ensure that, following the acquisition of the property, the future land use and zoning designation assigned to the project site is for a category dedicated to open space, conservation, or outdoor recreation uses. POLICY/PURPOSE: To amend the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map in accordance with Florida Statutes and the City of Treasure Island Land Development Regulations. STRATEGIC PLAN RELEVANCE: Goal 1: Promote a socially connected community through the implementation of the Master Park Plan. ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION: The City has filed an application for an amendment to the Future Land Use Map to change the designation for the two properties (Lots 4 & 5) from the Residential Medium (RM-15) to the Recreation/Open Space (R/OS). The application is consistent with the amendment procedure for the comprehensive plan and future land use map outlined in Section 68-121 of the City of Treasure Island, Land Development Regulations, the City of Treasure Island Comprehensive Plan and the Forward Pinellas Countywide Plan. The Future Land Use Map amendment will also require a Countywide Plan amendment through Forward Pinellas.
