AGENDA ITEM NO. D.1 Item Cover Page DATE: April 21, 2026 SUBMITTED BY: Thomas Brennan, Fire ITEM TYPE: Proclamations AGENDA SECTION: PROCLAMATIONS, RECOGNITIONS, CERTIFICATES OF APPRECIATION SUBJECT: Recognitions-Pinning Ceremony (Completion of 1 year Probationary) BACKGROUND: Today marks a defining moment in the career of one of our newest firefighter. After a rigorous 12-month probationary period, we are here to celebrate Firefighter Travis (Turbo) Deberry as he officially transitions from "Probie" to Firefighter, having successfully completed his first year of service with the Treasure Island Fire Rescue. The probationary year is not just training; it is a "working interview" that tests dedication, mental toughness, and commitment to the fire service. Over the past year, FFs Deberry has met these challenges, demonstrating proficiency in fire ground operations, attending countless hours of training, and, most importantly, proving their ability to work seamlessly with their crew. Becoming a firefighter does not happen overnight. It requires sacrifice—not only from the individual but from their families as well. The badge that will be pinned upon his chest today is more than a piece of brass; it is an honorable family crest and a symbol of the trust the community places in him. It is a promise to always give your best in someone else’s darkest hour. BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS AGENDA ITEM REPORT 4

To the family members here today: Thank you. Your support, patience, and understanding are why these firefighters have been successful. Firefighter Deberry, you have earned your place in this family. As you move forward, continue to train, stay safe, and serve with the honor, integrity, and dedication that defines our department. Congratulations on this incredible achievement. POLICY/PURPOSE: The formal pinning ceremony, a cherished tradition in the fire service, is held to honor this significant achievement.

In response to Attorney Brooke’s prompt about ex-parte communication disclosure, Commissioners Dickey and Czyszczon and Mayor Doctor relayed visits to the site but no discussion with the parties. City Clerk Lisa-Marie Kennedy gave the oath to those who would testify. Principal Planner Brayden Evans shared a presentation, as contained in background material. Mayor Doctor praised the presentation. Commissioner Dickey noted the issue arose after the 2024 Hurricanes. Planner Evans stated the applicant had claimed the issue came from beach renourishment.

Mr. John Aucamp, Manager of the Island Inn Beach Resort, stated the sand came from the 2024 hurricanes and clarified the hotel would prefer a 6-foot fence but was amenable to 5 feet if necessary. Mayor Doctor wanted to know if the 6-foot fence was in the recommendation. Planner Evans confirmed staff had recommended 6 feet. Vice Mayor Vasquez asked for clarity from Attorney Brookes, who advised the motion should be clear about fence height and said it was only around the pool. Commissioner Czyszczon viewed the fence as a public safety issue and favored the item. Mayor Doctor called for public comment. Mr. Scott McCay asked if approval set precedent for all hotels to have a 6-foot fence. Attorney Brookes advised the approval would not set precedent.

Commissioner Czyszczon asked how often the City expected the emergency expenditure. City Manager Van Zant relayed the reasoning for the repairs. Public Works Director Gary Volenec explained the cylinders were regularly replaced but there were unexpected leaks in the cylinders and Public Works took a proactive safety approach, and the work should not be needed for another 15-20 years. City Manager Van Zant noted he was exploring getting rid of the bridge but there were reserves for unexpected repairs. Talks continued. Mayor Doctor called for public comment; there was no response. The motion carried four to zero. H.3 Resolution 2026-02, City Commission Rules of Procedure Resolution 2026-02 Amending Rules of Procedure.docx Attorney Brookes read the resolution by title only and introduced the item. Commissioner Dickey objected to Section 14 because Commissioners utilized the City Attorney to vet ideas before bringing an item to the Commission. Attorney Brookes said the item could be removed but noted Commissioners had requested contrary opinions. Noting Section 8.1, Public Comment, Commissioner Dickey wanted to make sure the public was not limited to speak once in a meeting. Attorney Brookes said it could be corrected and the intent was not to limit speakers to speaking once in a meeting. Commissioner Czyszczon was not prepared to discuss the resolution.

Commissioner Czyszczon said he had tried to add an item but was blocked by the City Manager, referenced the past City Manager blocking Commissioner items, and noted his item had been pushed to the Commissioner comments. Commissioner Dickey agreed with Vice Mayor Vasquez and wanted more flexibility to add items but did not want last-minute items added to the agenda. Vice Mayor Vasquez reiterated last-minute items were problematic. Discussion continued. Commissioner Czyszczon noted he had placed items on the agenda that were removed by the majority of the Commissioners. Attorney Brookes relayed the rules allowed the City Manager to remove staff items and the Commissioners could remove their own items. Responding to Commissioner Czyszczon, Attorney Brookes said a censure could be voted on by the Commissioner being censured and advised a censure should be handled in a separate meeting. Attorney Brookes said any Commissioner may propose an item Attorney Brookes proposed the following language: “Any Commissioner may propose an item be placed on a future workshop, regular, or special meeting agenda, provided that it is provided to the City Clerk prior to publication of the agenda. Back up for the particular added item, if provided and available, will be included in the future published agenda.” The Commission consented. Attorney Brookes said items could be removed at the meeting. City Manager Van Zant wanted clarity on the quantity of items allowed by a Commissioner. Attorney Brookes asked the 11

5 Commission how many items they wanted to allow. There was consensus on up to two items per meeting per Commissioner. Vice Mayor Vasquez moved to continue Resolution 2026-02, adopting the updated rules of procedure, until the next scheduled meeting, March 16, seconded by Commissioner Czyszczon. Mayor Doctor called for public comment. Mr. Rick Matthews, District 3, wanted the City Manager to have the ability to manage the agenda if it became time-consuming. The motion carried four to zero.

Commissioner Dickey asked why the item did not use design-build. Director Volenec relayed the public works yard was a simple project compared to Item H.5., Public Safety Facility. Commissioner Dickey asked how Kimley-Horn was selected. Director Volenec noted there were only three consultants available and Kimley-Horn had already evaluated the site and were working on the master pump station. Commissioner Czyszczon made remarks. Mayor Doctor called for public comment; there was no response. The motion carried four to zero. H.5 Authorize the Award of the Design-Build Contract to CORE Construction Services of Florida, LLC for the New Public Safety Facility Vice Mayor moved to authorize the award of the design and build contract for the new public safety facility to Core Construction Services of Florida LLC, seconded by Commissioner Czyszczon. Referencing pages 256-258, Commissioner Dickey noted the project was very austere and wanted assurance from the Police and Fire Chiefs that their needs were addressed in the proposal.

Police Chief John Barkley was pleased with the footprint, believed the internal layout could be modified if needed and was grateful for Director Volenec’s expertise.

Director Volenec expounded on the pages referenced by Commissioner Dickey. Commissioner Czyszczon asked about the duration of work. Director Volenec said construction would take 16-18 months.

CFO Ortiz did believe the City was getting closer to receiving funds and City staff kept consistent contact with Deloitte. Regarding proposed resolutions from the Local Planning Agency (LPA) to re-evaluate height/density for the Thunderbird Hotel, City Manager Van Zant sought guidance from the Commission on how to proceed. Mayor Doctor, Commissioner Dickey, and Vice Mayor Vasquez said the Commission was on a path for a master plan first. City Manager Van Zant would relay that to the LPA. City Manager Van Zant said Commissioner Czyszczon had submitted multiple requests to have an item added regarding past City Attorneys Anthony Sabatini’s and Gavin Rollins’ insurance.

Director Hayduke said the riprap did not go to The Towers property because the association did not want people climbing on the riprap to their property. City Manager Van Zant said staff was working on Treasure Bay. Director Hayduke noted the project amount and said the project was nearly completed but City Staff had remaining items to wrap up. Commissioner Dickey shared photographs of the Lands Ends walkway and praised the improvements and relayed that Publix did intend to replace their dock. Mayor Doctor expressed gratitude for City staff and Public Works and noted
