F.2 Authorization of Purchase Order for Sidewalk Restoration for the Gulf Boulevard Undergrounding Project (Previously E.2)

---

Commissioner Czyszczon believed the cost per square foot was too high, wanted to know if there were bids received, and where the money was budgeted. Public Works Director Gary Volenec agreed the price was high but it was due to the project not being contiguous and requiring multiple mobilizations, explained that the funds were from the Penny for Pinellas funds, but a contract had been approved requiring the City pay for all repairs, and said a continuing contract had been used and was in compliance with procurement process. Commissioner Czyszczon questioned repairs to the easements. Director Volenec said he would address those issues.

Vice Mayor Vasquez moved to authorize the City Manager to execute a purchase order with C&T Contracting, an approved handyman contractor, in the amount of $75,319 for sidewalk restoration within the Gulf Boulard utility underground project area, seconded by Commissioner Czyszczon. Mayor Doctor called for public comment; there was no response. The motion carried four to zero.

## F.3 Authorize the City Manager to execute the Construction Work Order for the Treasure Bay Clubhouse Repairs (Previously E.3)

Commissioner Czyszczon wanted the restrooms immediately fixed but did not want to put additional funds in the clubhouse since the building was at end of life and Treasure Bay plans were unknown. Director Volenec stated he had requested alternative quotes for windows that were less expensive but were not received by the agenda deadline and asked for authorization to move forward with interior repairs. Vice Mayor Vasquez asked what was wrong with the windows. Director Volenec said some of them were broken. Vice Mayor Vasquez agreed not to spend too much money on a building that was at end of life. Director Volenec was attempting to make repairs that would last a few years. Vice Mayor Vasquez suggested only repairing broken windows.

Parks and Recreation Director Cathy Hayduke said some of windows were cracked and held together by tape and tint.

Commissioner Czyszczon suggested moving forward with the $95,000 interior repairs and have Gary come back with a better price for replacing the glass. Mayor Doctor made remarks and called for public comment.

Mr. Rick Matthews, 104th Avenue, was concerned there was no scope of work for Treasure Bay and felt it was too much money.

E. PUBLIC COMMENTS FOR NON-AGENDA ITEMS Father Andy Ellis, Fire Station Chaplain, asked for assistance with a community event to assist with adult incontinence products. Mr. West Evans, Isle of Palms, mentioned that the ethics ordinance was not scheduled for the current meeting. City Clerk Lisa-Marie Kennedy explained the notice requirements for second readings and said the Ordinance would be on the November 4, 2025, Regular meeting agenda. Ms. Sarah Pennington, District 2, asked about other ways to donate the incontinence products and if the current street sweeping program could be paused before the new truck was purchased and wanted updates on the grants applied for and received. Mayor Doctor asked the City Manager to provide monthly updates on grants in the City Manager report. Ms. Marie Barba, District 3, highlighted Article I, paragraph B, extraterritorial rights, and the referendum process outlined in the City Charter, and believed it was important for the Commission to consider a conversation with Forward Pinellas and the City’s land use and density maps. Ms. Edwardine Wasilewski, Isle of Capri, spoke about the poor condition of her neighbor’s home and complained nothing was done. Responding to Mayor Doctor, City Manager Van Zant would ensure he obtained the address. Ms. Brandy Long, Gulf Boulevard, expressed disappointment with the ethics ordinance not being scheduled for the current meeting. City Clerk Kennedy advised the item was scheduled for the November 4, 2025, Regular meeting. Mr. Ron DeBiase, resident, believed the City Commission was acting outside its authority with no benefit to the City, read the City Charter’s provisions regarding procurement, and wanted to know where the City Charter allowed the Commission to sign contracts. Ms. Kim Snemis, Isle of Capri, supported bringing back the golf course to Treasure Bay at a fee that would support the course. Mr. Rick Matthews, District 3, noted his wife did not feel safe due to Commissioner Czyszczon’s comments and spoke against Commissioner Czyszczon. Mr. Jeffry Baynon, Resident, spoke about the poor condition of the St. Petersburg Parking Lot, agreed with a setback for tall buildings and remarked on the potential of a walkover Gulf Boulevard through negotiating with developers. F. APPROVAL OF MINUTES F.1 Approval of the following Minutes: August 19, 2025, Workshop; September 2, 2025, Regular Meeting; December 6, 2024, Special Meeting; and December 17, 2024, Regular Meeting and Workshop. Vice Mayor Vasquez moved to approve the minutes, as presented, seconded by Commissioner Dickey, and carried five to zero. 8

G. CONSENT AGENDA Vice Mayor Vasquez moved to approve the Consent Agenda, as provided, seconded by Commissioner Czyszczon. Mayor Doctor called for public comment. Ms. Sarah Pennington, Isle of Palms, was concerned the City was overspending on software and subscriptions, specifically Item G.2, Consideration of Authorization for City Manager to Execute a Two-Year SeeClickFix Software. Responding to Mayor Doctor, Public Works Director Gary Volenec expounded on the program use and benefit. Mr. Rick Matthews, Resident, favored SeeClickFix and asked about Item G.3, Approve City Manager spending authority in an amount not to exceed $600,000 for as-needed building services with M.T. Causley or Joe Payne Inc. City Attorney Gavin Rollins explained the item was an extension of a current contract and after the extension, it would need to be re-procured. Mr. Matthews asked what happened if it exceeded that amount. Community Development Director Bobbie Shay Lee and Assistant Community Development Director Maryellen Edwards explained. The motion carried five to zero. G.1 Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Three-Year Roadway Management Technologies (RMT) Software Contract for $60,000 ($20,000 per year). G.2 Consideration of Authorization for City Manager to Execute a Two-Year SeeClickFix Software Contract for $34,562.26 ($17,281.13 per year) G.3 Approve City Manager spending authority in an amount not to exceed $600,000 for as- needed building services with M.T. Causley or Joe Payne Inc. G.4 Purchase and Upfitting of Two Police Vehicles G.5 Forward Pinellas Local Agency Grants Program H. ITEMS OF BUSINESS H.1 First Reading of Ordinance 2025-17 Amending the Land Development Regulations to allow for Alternative Temporary Lodging Units, in alignment with the City of Treasure Island Comprehensive Plan and Countywide Plan. (Previously Item H.1) Attorney Rollins read the ordinance by title only. Vice Mayor Vasquez moved to approve Ordinance 2025-17 and move it to the second and final reading, seconded by Commissioner Dickey. Ms. Katherine Cole, Hill Ward Henderson, reviewed a presentation shown in background material and submitted the resume for Ms. Isabelle Albert, Halff, who continued the presentation. Vice Mayor Vasquez asked who Ms. Albert had worked with to increase height on RFM-30. Ms. Albert said she had the idea from Ms. Katherine Younkin, former Community Development Director, and concluded the presentation. Mayor Doctor called for public comment. 9

Ms. Kaytlyn Doukis, Public Administration Student, believed the ordinance was an opportunity to give the Commission more flexibility and support the community. Mr. Charlie Justice, Tampa Bay Beaches Chamber of Commerce, supported the Thunderbird Hotel, made appreciative comments, and expounded on the reasoning for supporting the amendment. Ms. Marie Barba, District 3, opposed the ordinance, noting it was unconstitutional due to Charter requirements and, highlighting height and density changes, said the growth was too much. Ms. Sarah Pennington, District 2, asserted the Local Planning Agency (LPA) supported the item under false pretenses, noted the change would impact more establishments than the Thunderbird Hotel, and the density increases were extreme. Mr. West Evans, Isle of Palms, reiterated the ordinance was not only for the Thunderbird Hotel; remarked there was a previous citizen vote confirming the sentiment of the community about increased height; and, noting the previous City Attorney had presented false information to the LPA, asserted the item should go back to the LPA. Ms. Cole addressed public comment concerns, referenced the presentation for density and intensity and floor area ratio (FAR) allowances, and submitted items into the record. Ms. Donna Jollymore, Thunderbird Hotel Manager, affirmed the hotel was attempting to build a hotel that was a benefit for the community and rebutted citizen comments regarding height, FAR, LPA member votes; and reiterated they were wanted to work with the community. Commissioner Czyszczon said he would vote no on the item based on the master plan discussion, wanted the item tabled until the request for proposal (RFP) was completed for a master plan. Commissioner Dickey was opposed to increased height in general but would support the ordinance at hand. Vice Mayor Vasquez agreed with removing the RFM-30 but supported the item. Commissioner Clark would vote for the item to ensure RFM-30 was removed and wanted to see if there could be an exit-tax applied if the Thunderbird Hotel sold. Commissioner Dickey thought it was a good idea. Attorney Rollins said he would have to look into the suggestion but believed it could be possible. Commissioner Clark wanted to make sure the hotel was built quickly if the item passed and wanted to know what things the hotel would do to assist the City as far as infrastructure. Mayor Doctor said it was something that would be supported in the developer agreement. The motion carried four to one; Commissioner Czyszczon voted no. H.2 First reading of Ordinance 2025-30, Amending Chapter 18, Section 73, Saturday construction hours to begin no earlier than 9 a.m. Vice Mayor Vasquez moved to approve Ordinance 2025-30 and schedule it for a second and final public hearing, seconded by Commissioner Czyszczon. (The motion was not voted on.) Mayor Doctor did not want to be less friendly to construction. City Manager Van Zant advised he believed 8 a.m. would be better. Commissioner Czyszczon relayed resident requirements and, answering Mayor Doctor, said he would prefer 9 a.m. Vice Mayor Vasquez favored 8 a.m. 10

Commissioner Dickey was in favor of 9 a.m. Commissioner Czyszczon confirmed there was an issue with enforcement. Attorney Rollins read the ordinance by title only and said an amendment on time would not be a significant change requiring another first reading. Commissioner Czyszczon moved keep the time at 9 a.m. (The motion died for lack of a second.) Vice Mayor Vasquez moved to approve, with the amendment to 8 a.m. starting time, Ordinance 2025-30, and schedule it for a second and final, seconded by Commissioner Clark, and carried five to zero. H.3 First Reading of Ordinance 2025-31 Beach Renourishment Charter Amendment (now H.1.) Attorney Rollins introduced Mr. John Bishop, Pinellas County, who explained why the Corps of Engineers and Pinellas County required perpetual easements and construction easements. Commissioner Dickey asked if the amendment was only for City property. Attorney Rollins explained the rationale for the proposed charter amendment and read the potential ballot language. Commissioner Clark asked if the amendment would solve the private property easements. Attorney Rollins advised it was a separate issue and was specific to City property. Mr. Bishop confirmed the Corps would pay for 65 percent of the project. Attorney Rollins advised the ordinance would allow the language to go the ballot and then the Commission would vote to provide the easements. Vice Mayor Vasquez moved to approve Ordinance 2025-31, Beach Renourishment Charter Amendment, and schedule it for a second and final reading, seconded by Commissioner Dickey, and carried five to zero. H.4 First Reading of Ordinance 2025-28, to approve FY 2026 fee schedule Vice Mayor Vasquez moved to adopt Ordinance 2025-28 adopting the Citywide Fee Schedule as Appendix A to the Code of Ordinances to be effective December 1, 2025, at the first public hearing and to schedule it for a second reading at the November 4, 2025, regular Commission meeting, seconded by Commissioner Czyszczon. (The motion was not voted on.) Finance Director Victor Ortiz introduced the item and said the two separate changes were an increase of parking and stormwater rate increase passed along by the City of St. Petersburg. Commissioner Dickey distributed a parking rate comparison, provided in background material; asserted the rate was already high enough and the budget was balanced without increased rates; and rather increase the parking rates if it was needed because the high fees may discourage visitors. Responding to Commissioner Czyszczon, Chief Barkley confirmed Treasure Island was the only beach that allowed open containers. Commissioner Dickey said the Sunset Beach signs still said alcohol was not permitted beyond Caddy’s and reiterated there was no need to increase parking. Mayor Doctor emphasized the parking fees would be needed to pay for loans the City would need. Commissioner Czyszczon said the fee could always be reduced if it was a problem. Commissioner Clark was indifferent on parking. Vice Mayor Vasquez agreed Treasure Island would remain a destination despite an increase in parking revenue. 11

Director Ortiz noted the increased fee would address the St. Petersburg wastewater treatment increase of 9.5 percent. Commissioner Dickey referred to an explanation from Director Ortiz and said the City could raise the rate 4.8 percent to cover the 9.5 percent increase from St. Petersburg. Director Ortiz confirmed those numbers and deferred to the Commission. Answering Commissioner Czyszczon, Director Ortiz advised the CPI increase. Commissioner Dickey asked about the recommended increase in the agenda item versus what was in the draft ordinance. City Manager Van Zant said the increase was up to the Commission. Commissioner Czyszczon asked what the cost per household would be. Director Ortiz did not know the number. Commissioner Dickey said he calculated his own home bill and relayed the proposed increase. Commissioner Clark asked how much the water bill was total. Vice Mayor Vasquez was curious about finding a medium to have extra for repairs and prepare for the future. Commissioner Dickey believed the current rates had extra amounts built in for repairs/replacement. Commissioner Clark confirmed the increase would apply to an enterprise fund. Attorney Rollins advised the money was limited to the designated enterprise fund. Mayor Doctor believed the infrastructure needed improvement, especially following Hurricane Helene. Director Ortiz confirmed there were budgeted repairs. Commissioner Dickey asked for the balance in the account, which Director Ortiz provided. Commissioner Czyszczon said a water bill that reads estimated means the meter had not been read and wanted a 5 percent increase. Vice Mayor Vasquez asked how much increase would happen per percentage point. Commissioners Dickey and Clark and Vice Mayor Vasquez were fine with the 5 percent increase. Vice Mayor Vasquez moved to amend the wastewater fee pass through to 5 percent, instead of the 4.8 percent, seconded by Commissioner Dickey. The motion carried five to zero. Vice Mayor Vasquez moved to adopt Ordinance 2025-28, with the amendment of 5 percent wastewater fees, as Appendix A to Code Ordinances to be effective December 1, 2025, at the first public hearing and to schedule it for a second reading November 4, 2025, Regular Commission meeting, seconded by Commissioner Dickey, and carried five to zero. H.5 Resolution 2025-22 Appointments to the Code Enforcement Board Following introductory remarks, City Clerk Kennedy advised Eva Devries did not meet residency requirement. Attorney Rollins expounded on residency requirements. Vice Mayor Vasquez noted Mr. Derry Smith had requested her application be removed from consideration. City Clerk Kennedy noted Mr. Baynon would like to be moved from an alternate to a full member. Following discussion on potential vacancies, Commissioner Dickey believed Ms. Smith would not mind being included if there was an additional position. On advisement from City Attorney Rollins to address the issues one-by one, Vice Mayor Vasquez moved to remove Eva Devries due to non-residency in the City of Treasure, seconded by Commissioner Czyszczon. The motion carried five to zero. 12

Commissioner Clark suggested Ms. Smith be an alternate. Commissioner Dickey agreed and suggested Sherri Cohen also be an alternate, and the other two applicants as full members. Vice Mayor Vasquez moved to adopt Resolution 2025-22, moving alternate member Jeff Baynon to an at-large position on the Code Board, also appointing Dana Ball and Jennifer Grey as a member, with alternates Derry Smith and Sherri Cohen, seconded by Commissioner Dickey, and carried five to zero. H.6 Interlocal Agreement with Pinellas County for Cooperative Procurements of Post Storm Recovery Services Vice Mayor Vasquez moved to approve the interlocal agreement between Pinellas County and the City of Treasure Island for cooperative procurement of post-storm recovery services, seconded by Commissioner Czyszczon, and carried five to zero. H.7 Fiscal Year (FY) 2026–27 Coastal Partnership Initiative (CPI) Vice Mayor Vasquez moved to allow staff to proceed in the application process for the FY 2026–27 Coastal Partnership Initiative with the understanding a $30,000 match was required when awarded, seconded by Commissioner Czyszczon. Director Lee explained the item. Commissioner Dickey did not understand how the grant applied to downtown. Director Lee said it was because the area was in a high hazard area. The motion carried five to zero. H.8 Piggyback Contract with Ballard Partners for State Lobbying Services (now H.2.) Director Lee introduced the item. Vice Mayor Vasquez moved to approve the piggyback agreement with Ballard Partners for State Lobbying Services in the amount of $75,000 per year, seconded by Commissioner Czyszczon, and carried five to zero. Mr. Robert Bozzo, District 1, remarked there was no metric or deliverable on the contract. Attorney Rollins said legally metrics were not allowable. Mr. Bozzo disliked that type of contract, remembered a member of staff had legislative experience that justified their hiring. Director Lee noted it was not uncommon for a municipality to contract a firm that could provide more dedication to Tallahassee. Commissioner Dickey requested to hear from Mr. Todd Josko, Ballard Partners, who expounded on his group’s expertise and history. Commissioner Dickey questioned if the $4.5 million referenced in the agenda item was for the public safety facility. Vice Mayor Vasquez was pleased to contract with Ballard Partners. I. COMMISSIONER REPORTS Vice Mayor Vasquez r
