Regular Meeting Notes December 19, 2024 Dunedin City Commission spirit of the Chamber and the City. The artwork will be featured at the Dunedin Fine Arts Center in the months of March and April as well as the other 38 submissions. Ms. Procissi noted copies of the directory are available at the Chamber; she also thanked the Pinellas County Art Supervisor for attending tonight. CITIZEN INPUT Mayor Freaney advised now was the time for anyone in the audience who wished to speak on a topic that is not already on the agenda. Hearing and seeing no one wishing to speak, Mayor Freaney moved to the next agenda item. 2. ACTION ITEMS 2.a. Second Reading of Ordinance 24-26 Amending Chapter 58, Pensions and Retirement, Firefighters' Retirement System, of the Code Of Ordinances for the City of Dunedin City Attorney Cowan read Ordinance 24-26 by title only. MOTION: Staff Presentation Motion was made by Commissioner Walker and seconded by Commissioner Dugard to adopt Ordinance 24-26 on second read ing , amending Chapter 58 , Pensions and Retirement , Firefighters' Retirement System, of the Code of Ordinances for the City of Dunedin. Human Resource/Risk Management Director Smalling advised the first reading of this ordinance was November 21, 2024, and was unanimously approved by the Commission. The City is legally required to adopt this ordinance in response to the ratification of the Collective Bargaining Agreement between the City of Dunedin and the Firefighters. Questions for Staff - None Public Input Mayor Freaney opened the item to public input. Hearing and seeing no one wishing to speak, Mayor Freaney closed the public input. Commission Comments The Mayor and Commissioners expressed thanks to the City staff and to the Firefighters Pension Trust Board for their work on this agreement. VOTE: Motion carried with Commissioners Gow , Sandbergen, Dugard, Walker, and Mayor Freaney voting aye. Voting nay: None. 2.b. Resolution 24-33 Declaration of Intent to Reimburse the Cost of Repairing Damage to Various Capital Facilities and/or Debris Removal within the City as a Result of Recent Hurricanes from Future Tax-Exempt Debt City Attorney Cowan read Resolution 24-33 by title only. MOTION: Motion was made by Commissioner Sandbergen and seconded by Commissioner Dugard to adopt Resolution 24-33, Declaration of Intent to reimburse the cost of repairing damage to various capital facilities and/or debris removal within the City as a result of recent hurricanes from future tax- exempt debt. Staff Presentat ion Finance Director Tyler advised: 24-2

Regular Meeting Notes December 19, 2024 Dunedin City Commission Resolution 24-33 is for the reimbursement of cost of repairing damage to various capital facilities and/or debris removal within the City of Dunedin as a result of the recent Hurricanes Helene and Milton for potential future taxes and debt financing. Staff anticipates at this time the estimated cost will total approximately $20,000,000. This is an estimate to be refined in the months ahead. It is expected that the cost of the project will be reimbursed by and financed with borrowing or borrowings by the City in the future. The source of the advance funding for repairs and debris removal is the General Fund and the Fleet Fund, as well as other potential internal borrowing of various funds within the City; these are yet to be determined. This resolution also allows for the City to apply expenditures made 60 days prior to the date of the resolution this evening. The City can go back 60 days with expenditures from this date of December 19, 2024. This resolution for reimbursement does not obligate the City to issue any debt; it is a formality to make sure the City can be reimbursed going back. Questions for Staff In response to the question from Commissioner Walker, Mr. Tyler clarified some of the expenditures are 100% reimbursable, including the Debris Removal; the other portion will be 75% paid by FEMA; 12.5% will be paid by the State of Florida and the City will have a 12.5% match. Mr. Tyler explained that regarding the reimbursement , the City will be receiving an expedited advance payment for half the debris removal expected in the next month or so; the remainder will go through the normal FEMA process. That will be in stages anywhere from one to three or four years to get everything reimbursed. In response to the question from Commissioner Dugard regarding how this will affect the current budget, Mr. Tyler explained there will be some internal borrowing proposed from the Fleet Fund in the amount of $5 Million at the next Commission meeting; that is a temporary measure. Once there are good numbers estimated and firm numbers on the Marina, there might be some internal borrowing, which is reasonable financing. At some point in the next six to eight months, he expected discussion with the Commission for a line of credit or short-term financing for four to five years that will allow for a reasonable interest rate based on FEMA reimbursements. The funds will be drawn down from the line of credit as needed. Once the FEMA reimbursements come, the line of credit will be paid off over the one to four-year timeframe. Mr. Tyler advised staff time and overtime is reimbursable and explained there are forms submitted to FEMA; it also includes equipment rental. In response to the question from Vice Mayor Gow as to whether or not the interest on any borrowing is reimbursable, Mr. Tyler explained FEMA will pay the interest cost for permanent improvements , for example completely replacing a dock; for just a repair , the financing cost will be paid by the City. Mayor Freaney verified with Mr. Tyler the largest portion of the $20 Million is for the Marina, which is about half the amount; debris removal is a large portion as well as gabion repairs. In response to the question from Mayor Freaney regarding the effect on the City's debt limit, Mr. Tyler advised there is a debt limit policy that recommends the City's annual governmental debt payments are no more than 20% of annual governmental revenues. That is monitored and reviewed with the Commission each year and is included in the Budget Document. The 24-3

Regular Meeting Notes December 19, 2024 Dunedin City Commission City is well below that now at about 12.5%. This loan amount will be factored in; some annua l payment will have to be included, depending on how much is borrowed. With the current projected projects, moving forward the City was still well under the 20%; it will increase some. Public Input Mayor Freaney opened the item to public input. David Belt inquired regarding reserves ; is the Commission giving that consideration so there would not be the financing? Hearing and seeing no one else wishing to speak , Mayor Freaney closed the public input. Response to Public Input Finance Director Tyler commented it is nice to have large reserves, and currently the General Fund in a good position compared to prior years. There is about a 22% Reserve current ly, which is about $2.9 Million more than the 15% minimum. There are also City funds including the Fleet Fund, which will be borrowed from in the short term for the next two to three years and there are a few others. Having reserves is good; however, he would say many cities get internal financ ing for large storms. He spoke with the City 's Financial Advisors who work with many cities , and it is common to have internal financing for the interim for that FEMA reimbursement time of one to four years . The City has the ability to get to a large number internally up to approximately $12-13 Million, but if you have a $20 Million Reserve , you do not want to tie that up and go into the next storm season and have everything obligated, because the next storm season may bring another situation. Many cities do that because that is not over encumbering long-term. City Manager Bramley commented it is a tenuous balance; if you build up the Reserve into the 30% or 35%, then the taxpayers are going to say that is better off in their pocket than the City ' s. The money is just sitting there gathering interest and is not of use to the taxpayers and residents. To get the type of reserve needed to address these past two hurricanes, taxes would have to be increased ; it would be imposs ible given what the City has now as a millage rate. Commission Comments Commissioner Sandbergen noted the damage done to the City and these are things the City has to do. Commissioner Dugard agreed with the comments by Commissioner Sandbergen and commented it is difficult to incur additional debt ; however, if there was ever a reason to do so , this situation is it. He noted a substantia l amount of the debt will be reimbursable by FEMA , wh ich explains the reason for not invading Reserves because of losing the benefit of that money and interest it would make. He is in support . Commissioner Walker commented on this being necessary and his understanding of the concerns regarding how these internal financing options arise and essentially all the changes amongst the various funds. There are safegua rds in place to be sure of recouping close to 100% at some po int. Vice Mayor Gow commented this is part of living here and noted it was a 100 -Year Storm, and hopefully it stays that way. He is confident in City staff to spend the money wisely. Mayor Freaney commented on the storms being part of the City's reality, and the expectation is to recoup most of the expenditures. She sees it has cash flow being able to borrow from internal funds, Enterprise Funds, and being able to leverage money when needed. 24-4

Regular Meeting Notes Dunedin City Commission December 19, 2024 VOTE: Motion carried with Commissioners Gow, Walker, Dugard, Sandbergen, and Mayor Freaney voting aye. Voting nay: None. 2.c. Approval to utilize a previously executed agreement with Tetra Tech, Inc., for Disaster Debris Monitoring & Management Services, as a result of Hurricanes Helene and Milton, based on contracted hourly rates at an estimated cost of $604,615 Staff Presentation Deputy City Manager Quintas advised: In 2023, the City entered into an interlocal agreement with Pinellas County for services related to not only debris collections but also monitoring. This item is related to services for both Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton. This is related to the City's ability to provide the documentation necessary to seek the 100% reimbursement for the debris collection services. Tetra Tech monitors how the debris is collected, quantified, and reported. Public Works Sanitation Manager Pickrum advised: Tetra Tech provides the oversight to ensure the clean -up efforts comply from beginning to end and the City can maximize the 100% FEMA reimbursement. They are on the street with the trucks, monitoring from the collection point to the debris site. Once at the site, there are more monitors in towers corroborating where a truck came from and they deem how loaded it is in cubic yards. Then the debris is separated. Tetra Tech is part of the entire flow of custody of the debris, making sure the contractor is reducing the piles accordingly and off-loading to the final disposal site. Then they review all the invoices coming in and corroborating all the aspects per FEMA guidelines. Questions for Staff In response to the question from Commissioner Sandbergen, City Manager Bramley explained the "Significant Damage Letter" is provided by Tetra Tech; however, it is a different division from the debris monitoring. Commissioner Sandbergen clarified with staff there is no County property in Dunedin, for which there has been a question of responsibility for collection. In response to the question from Commissioner Dugard, Mr. Pickrum acknowledged Tetra Tech is the assurance for the City to maximize the FEMA reimbursement by adhering to the guidelines and accountability. Mayor Freaney inquired regarding most of the contract being categorized as Hurricane Milton even though most of the City's damage was due to Hurricane Helene. Deputy City Manager Quintas explained it is cumulative, starting with Helene that caused significant damage ; then it was shut down because Hurricane Milton was coming and there was additional damage. It was difficult to quantify which debris was caused by which storm; FEMA is just reimbursing for the effort to collect, monitor, and dispose. City Manager Bramley explained at first FEMA was requiring to report according to the storm; however, they finally made the determination that reporting could be on both storms using the later storm, as what was being reported. Public Input Mayor Freaney opened the item to public input. Eric Curtis, who noted he was homeless, addressed the cost of the services for this agenda item and inquired if there might have been a bid that was less expensive. Hearing and seeing no one else wishing to speak, Mayor Freaney closed the public input. 24-5

Regular Meeting Notes December 19, 2024 Dunedin City Commission Response to Public Input Deputy City Manager Quintas explained the bidding was with the interlocal agreement entered into with Pinellas County that competitively bid not only debris collection but also the monitoring services. Multiple firms submitted. He explained the procurement process the County initiated. MOTION: Motion was made by Commissioner Dugard and seconded by Commissioner Walker to approve utilizing lnterlocal Agreement #22- 0601-P(JJ) between Pinellas County and the City of Dunedin for Disaster Debris Related Services, executed on June 6, 2023; and authorization for the City Manager to issue a Purchase Order (PO) to Tetra Tech, Inc., of Pasadena, CA, for Monitoring and Management Services as a result of Hurricanes Helene and Milton, at an estimated cost of $604,615 Commission Comments The Mayor and Commissioners expressed their support for the motion. VOTE: Motion carried with Commissioners Gow, Sandbergen, Walker, Dugard, and Mayor Freaney voting aye. Voting nay: None. 2.d. The proposed agenda for the January 9, 2025, Commission Meeting Mayor Freaney asked if there were any changes to the proposed agenda. City Attorney Cowan advised Item 2.a. should be deleted. Vice Mayor Gow inquired because that agenda is light, was there any time on the Tuesday Work Session that could be moved to the Commission Meeting? City Manager Bramley explained the action would be to continue an item from the Tuesday meeting to the Thursday meeting. When City Manager Bramley pointed out Tuesday was also a light meeting, City Clerk Schlichter explained historically the first January meetings are light. MOTION: Motion was made by Commissioner Walker and seconded by Commissioner Sandbergen to approve the revised proposed agenda for the January 9, 2025, Commission Meeting. VOTE: Motion carried unanimously . 3. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS 3.a. Marina Status Update City Manager Opening Remarks City Manager Bramley advised: This item is providing information for the City Commission in a public forum and answering questions, and the expectation is to open the item to public input as well. At the City Commission meeting in late November, the City Commission directed staff to come back with as much information as they knew about the Marina, the assessment, and the timeline. This process is getting more and more focused every day. There have been many meetings and discussions with both the consultants and City staff regarding the Marina and the path moving forward. 24-6

Regular Meeting Notes December 19, 2024 Dunedin City Commission Staff has met with the Marina Advisory Committee (MAC) a couple of times; those meetings have been difficult. The MAC , the slip renters, and the commercial slip renters have many questions moving forward, which the City will be able to answer as they continue through this process. This presentation will include an overview of the assessment at a high level and a FEMA timeline. There was a long call with Tetra Tech about what is required in each step of the timeline. There will be information about bidding requirements and timeframes and the financial implications of the FEMA input of revenue and the status of the Enterprise Fund. Staff Presentation Utilities Assistant Director/City Engineer Clay Watkins provided a summary overview of the assessment report. The fishing pier, day docks, and rescue docks all were damaged during Hurricane Helene; the report says there was severe damage and all those items should be replaced, and new ones should be built. East around the seawall, the bulk head at dock 180 did show some slippage and has small failure; the recommendation is to repair. Commercial docks had some damage along some of the finger piers. The east bulk head has completely failed and there is about 100' of failure so that is a recommendation for replacement. On the main walkway of Dock A, some bowing was observed, and with some lifted piers on some of the finger docks there is a recommendation to replace that dock with a new dock. Dock B also showed some observations with some lifted piles on the finger piers with some other wood splitting members throughout on the dock; that dock was also recommended to be replaced. Dock C fared better than A and B; there was probably not a lot of damage from the storm event, and most of the repair recommendations are just based on the age of the dock itself. There was not a lot of damage to the boat ramp; it survived the storm fairly well. South along the seawall and those finger docks, there was not a lot of damage and only a few loose boards. For the most part, that survived the storm fairly well. Near the end on the west side of the facilities, the western bulk head and docks also faired well through the storm. One pile was lifted with the recommendation to replace that pile and finger dock. There are some observations from additional spalling and some other damage on the north side of that west seawall, but not due to the storm; that is just aging. Commission Questions Questions from Commissioner Walker were addressed: Mr. Watkins acknowledged the Kimley-Horn report was for the most part a visual walkaround; they were on a boat and went around the internal part of the Marina as well. The Fire Suppression system was not part of this report; only the structural components of the dock and the seawall were. There was a separate inspection by Piper Fire, which he recalled were just joint and suspension repairs. Deputy City Manager Quintas explained having been on-site with the Fire Marshal after the storm, it was apparent that at Dock A and Dock B, the fire line was severed because 24-7

Regular Meeting Notes December 19, 2024 Dunedin City Commission the wall rotated out and failed, so the connection to the mainland where the main fire line is fed from severed. Discussion ensued regarding the details and sequence of work to repair the fire system. It was noted temporary repair is questionable due to safety concerns of getting to the dock because of the fact the wall has failed on the approach. City Manager Bramley advised regarding the conversation just after the storm, the issue is not just the fire suppression , but the access to Docks A and B over that wall has completely separated. It is really two issues and according to the NFPA, the fire rescue needs to be able to access safely to be able to provide fire suppression. In response to the research information provided by Commissioner Walker regarding an application/engineering solution, which he described, and his question if in addition to the assessment by Kimley-Horn alternatives are being considered that will mitigate any neglect or issues with the Marina , Mr. Watkins advised there have been conversations on what the proposed wall would be in replacement and noted there are some different options. In terms of what has made Docks A & B structurally unsound , Mr. Watkins explained the conditions of each dock and that the analysis also took into consideration the size of boats on A & B and the location at the Marina. City Manager Bramley explained Kimley-Horn representatives could not be in attendance because their plans had already been established when she was able to speak with them. Additional information was requested by Mr . Watkins, who was the Project Manager, and she read from an email: A Dock was observed to be in serious to critical structural condition and to have major to severe damage due to the storms . Overall bowing was observed on the main dock walkway with lifted piles and lateral displacement. Girder to pile connections were observed to be broken in several locations with corroded fasteners and split wood members noted. Finger docks were observed to have lifted piles with evidence of failure at approximately 20% of finger piers. A Dock Recommendations Given the damage across the length of the dock and fingers and with the stability compromised by full occupancy during the high magnitude of waves and storm surge on the dock, full replacement of the main dock, fingers, and associated utilities is necessary. City Manager Bramley added when the dredge was done in 2019, Dock A was repaired , understanding it would need to be replaced in two to three years ; however, that did not happen because of COVID. When the storms came in and Dock A was already to be replaced in FY2025 given the force of wave action in Helene and wind action in Milton, it was very clear to Kimley-Horn it needed to be replaced. In response to. the research information provided by Commissioner Walker regarding the electrical pedestals and the potential remedy, noting what was done at the Clearwater Marina, Mr. Watkins advised another firm did the inspection on the electrical and that report is due at the end of January. Questions from Commissioner Dugard were addressed: It was clarified that Kimley-Horn provides the best assessment for the City to go into the bidding process; Kimley-Horn will not be the design firm. It will be a full Request for Qualifications process. Questions from Commissioner Sandbergen were addressed: 24-8

Regular Meeting Notes December 19, 2024 Dunedin City Commission There was no underwater inspection this time, the reason being that with the water conditions the inspector would not have been able to see much due to the murky water. The commercial docks are not operating at 100%; the commercial businesses are operating, but the electrical is still down; they are back to paying rent. The City owns the lift systems and they are not salvageable. Discussion ensued regarding details for the replace and repair possibilities of various facilities. Harbormaster Ferguson explained the communications to the slip renters prior to a storm; also, staff begins putting out information with Hurricane Preparedness Week in the month of May. Human Resources/Risk Management Director Smalling advised the Marina is not covered by insurance for damage from a named storm or wind; however, there is Business Interruption and a claim has been filed; the policy covers up to $500,000 per year. Questions from Mayor Freaney were addressed: In terms of the underwater assessment and the questions being asked about how good this report is without it; the consultant's response was: In general, water visibility was too clouded and could not permit clear view of piles underwater. The tidal conditions, although high, prevented us from observing piles and water conditions that day; however, the piles and walls were observed in the previous site visits. Regardless, below the mud line, conditions are unknown. Overall, the recommendations for dock replacement were established by the overall trauma the docks sustained during two consecutive tropical events. While the majority of the large vessels remain connected to the docks, because there was clear sight, clear bowing, and the lifting and deflecting evident beyond the previous visits and because large-size vessels were tied to the docks, there was concern the piles, their embedment, and their lateral stability had been compromised. As stated, as a result of their forces, their design structure capacities of the piles cannot be guaranteed long-term. This was a large driver of the recommendation; the above water evidence and the significant leaning and movement of the dock in and around the piles has likely compromised the entire system, and replacement would be the most prudent long-term action . Separately, the overall condition of the connection, framing, walking surface requires significant upgrades to be considered for long-term use. Regarding the table on Page 24 of the report, the $10 Million is the Kimley-Horn recommendation for short-term repair from the storm; the $18 Million includes full replacement of the seawall around and eventually replacing Dock C and the finger piers around the south and western walls. City Manager Bramley explained in terms of the comparison to the FEMA reimbursement, it is unknown at this time and she would address that in the timeline presentation. 24-9

A tremendous amount of work has been done ; however, they are constrained by reimbursement requirements of FEMA and by the City's own purchasing and procurement policies, which must be followed to the letter. There are several priorities the Commission will have to establish moving forward , which she would outline. The stance being taken as far as the approach to FEMA, working with Tetra Tech after a long conversation has been a tremendous benefit to the City staff in making sound recommendations to the City Commission. What is being done with the Kimley-Horn assessment and all other information once the electrical assessment is received is to put FEMA in the position of reviewer and not preparer. The studies and assessments the City is doing are reimbursable by FEMA, but the City is proactive in contracting with consultants to get that done quickly to provide it to FEMA and then begin that conversation. Already started was the site inspection by Kim ley-Horn, which is the subject of much discussion out in the Marina community. One thing that came to her about how to convey all of this to the Commission and to the members of the Marina is that this is essentially the report to FEMA about the reimbursement the City will be asking for. Typically, FEMA would prepare this report and they are not going to put it before the City Commission or the Marina Advisory Committee 24-10

Regular Meeting Notes December 19, 2024 Dunedin City Commission (MAC) and ask if it is okay. It is a report to be formally submitted to FEMA and then discussed thereafter. It starts with the site inspection by Kimley-Horn. There was a Structural Field Assessment completed by Kimley-Horn, which is a multi-national corporation; a Structural Inspector signed and sealed the report. That is the only signed and sealed report staff has on their desks at this point. In speaking to Tetra Tech, they are very pleased with the report and the way it has been drafted as far as the deliverables to FEMA. The electrical was done last week and the report will be received by January. The good news is it is not all gone; some is salvageable. As soon as that report is received, it will be submitted to the MAC, the slip renters, and certainly to the City Commission and report out after that. The next step is the Development draft Damage Description and Dimensions Report (ODD Report). Tetra Tech has been empowered at this point with preparing that report, which includes a narrative regarding damaged forces and other required information for FEMA . The intent is to provide the deliverable ODD; this is normally one that can take FEMA weeks to procure and they do it themselves, so the City will do it for them and that is following their site inspection. Typically that would be months off just using FEMA. After preparing the ODD Report, then FEMA does their site inspection and the City requests the site inspection and then develops the scope of work. During this timeframe, the City Commission is going to be making some serious decisions. Those decisions will be floating docks or fixed docks, which has been discussed with the Master Plan. Dock A was planned for 2025 and Dock B in 2027, and Dock C in 2029. Staff will make a recommendation. In working with FEMA, if going to a floating dock, the City can have the flood mitigation that is reimbursable if the City is able to move forward in that direction. The City does have a 12.5% grant match, and there might be additional funds needed; therefore, that financing plan needs to come before the Commission when staff knows it. There is the City's internal project review with FEMA, submitting the formal application with the Department of Emergency Management; there is an application review, approval of the DOD, FEMA's cost and scope; a peer review, a mitigation review; insurance review; and then there are the final documents and project obligation from FEMA as to what they will pay and what the City will pay. All of this , according to Tetra Tech, will take a minimum of 10 months, but it has already been started. Tetra Tech has told the City and there is some risk involved; however, the City can start all of this now and not wait for the project obligation. The City will be going out to bid; for example, the east seawall needs to be rebuilt, whatever materials are used. There is comfort in going out with the RFQ and doing the competitive process to get a contractor. That process has been started. The ODD Report approval has started with getting all the information together. The hope is to be able to do many of these items concurrently; the risk would be in not having the final FEMA obligation. Projects other than the seawall would be done after the FEMA obligation is known. The City will still have to issue those loans and the tough decisions for the Commission will be the priorities. 24-11

Regular Meeting Notes December 19, 2024 Dunedin City Commission She spoke with PSTA today in relation to the Day Docks and they are still interested in partnering with the City on the grant ; the question was how much to repair the Day Docks , which she estimated at $1 .5-$1.75 Million. CEO Miller said PSTA will go to the State of Florida on behalf of the City to see if there can be funding for the Ferry. The re are many things the City staff is doing to get all they can in terms of use of the fund ing. The City is on a good path and the financing plan would be laid out , and they would go for as much as possib le and as qu ick ly as possible with always keeping the long view in mind , i.e. what will it look like in five years. Utilities Assistant Director/City Engineer Watkins advised staff is moving forward with the design of the two damaged seawalls and Kimley-Horn is being used for that obviously damaged part; he reviewed the process and timeline: 12/i1/l014 Tentative Schedule for Marina Repair and Replacement fonat lv@ Schedule !or Marina Repair and R@pla cemenl Procureme nt Tall I lt artOate I De~1n &Permrtting BidclOlingdate I Commiss ion Mtg Itarliest St,rt ol Con1trucion fast Wa il&Dock IBO\Va!

There is a short list of different firms according to their specialty . He elaborated on the process and procedures going forward , including staff recommendations and coming before the Commission for approvals and award of contracts. Financia l: Finance Director Ty ler advised: The Marina Fund forecast in the FY2025 budget is going to change dramatically since these storms. On the Revenue side, the City losing slip renter income for two years is the best estimate; some will still be coming in. It is hopeful the Business Interruption Insurance will cover a la rge portion of that revenue loss. On the Expense side , there is significant damage from the two storms as discussed and staff is still working through how much FEMA will reimburse for the Marina . 24-12

Regular Meeting Notes December 19, 2024 Dunedin City Commission Projects for Docks A, B, & C were planned to be completed in the budget with the draft master plan discussed with the Commission in August 2024; that timeframe was still yet to be determined, and staff was going to come back to discuss in more detail but then the storms hit. The largest change from a financial perspective he sees now on the Expense side is Dock A and Dock B being recommended for full replacement, not just repairs. The other items in the Marina are being repaired more than those two docks. Depending on what type of dock is chosen, FEMA will pay 75% of the cost; the State will pay 12.5%; and the City will pay a 12.5% match for the majority of the repairs. City Manager Bramley noted that funding previously was going to come from the Marina Enterprise Fund, which means the slip renters. Mr. Tyler continued: With what is known now, the staff estimate is FEMA will reimburse the City about $2.5 Million for the replacement of Dock A & Dock B. That revenue is not in the long-range plan. In that scenario, it will help the Enterprise Fund over the long term of $2.5 Million in grant funding. The City also has the need to borrow in the short term for some of the repairs. For permanent repairs, FEMA will pay the interest; for non-permanent repairs, FEMA likely will not pay. His conservative estimate is about $400,000 of interest will not be reimbursed by FEMA. He thought the other $600,000 to $800,000 will be. Those are rough and conservative numbers. There are repairs at the Marina other than Dock A that were not in the Master Plan or the budget due to the damages, such as the eastern bulk head and the day docks and other repairs in the report provided today; many are new expenses being incurred to get the Marina back to where it should be. Those costs total roughly $5 Million and will require a 12.5% match for the Marina Fund to pay; his estimate of that is a $700,000 match increase the City would not have had before. Looking at the big picture, the City has $2.5 Million in grant revenue, and that is offset with $400,000 of interest costs and $700,000 of match required to cover some of the repairs. In general, it appears the net is $1.4 Million; that is more fund balance if that number is dropped down funding it in the Enterprise Fund with what is known today. The Marina Long Range Plan is currently being worked on, similar to the discussion in August going out 10 - 15 years to look at it holistically, more importantly out to 2030. While developing that and talking with the City Manager, right now in the Master Plan reviewed in August, there were 10% increases for slip renters in the next five years starting in 2025, and there were discussion points of continuing the next four years . Those increases will likely be lowered though that is not known. He does think the City can fund the long-term program with less slip renter increases moving forward. BREAK approx. 8:00 P.M. - 8:05 P.M. Commission Questions for Staff were addressed: The majority of any funding from the insurance company will go into the Marina Enterprise Fund. The timeline and differences in Design and Construction for various projects were explained. When staff has all the information needed, then a comprehensive timeline will be drafted in a one-page format; what is presented here is a very preliminary timeline. An explanation was provided regarding the east wall and 180 slip and the ability to begin more quickly by basically just putting a wall back where it currently is, as opposed to anything 24-13

Regular Meeting Notes December 19, 2024 Dunedin City Commission else that would require more permitting that could draw out the timeframe . That project process is not waiting for FEMA or insurance reimbursement. The concept and policy of borrowing from internal funds was explained and it was noted that only funds over the reserve policy amount are borrowed. Discussion ensued of the possibility of decreasing the timeframe on certain aspects, and it was noted that this timeframe was considered to be very tight. It was acknowledged that being considered through all this is staging boats for the betterment of the City 's revenue and helping slip renters and boat owners . Regarding whether or not any projects that are in the master plan can be done at the same time as these replacements and repairs, consideration has been given to those. Public Input Mayor Freaney opened the item to public input. Dave Kelly of 1871 Pasadena Drive commented: There is an opportunity to do what the City wants to do here ; however, he expressed concern for all those affiliated with the Marina, including the slip renters, Windlasses , sailing classes, and other groups that use the Marina. If they have to be out of the Marina for a year, people are going to sell their boats or go somewhere else. Other places are too expensive and they don 't want renters for just two years; those are the bigger boats. He thought at the other meeting it was discussed that there is nothing wrong with Dock C, and he asked how hard it is to move boats around and work on one dock at a time. Also , he noted that in phasing the projects out, the cost is going to be more in five years , so he asked if it is feasible and if it can be maintained. Eric Curtis, noting he is homeless, commented: Curtis Marine Solutions has offered to fix the raised pilings on the docks and the finger piers for free, which fixes the dock issues with no response. He expressed his concerns regarding the process and the decision made 90 days ago that the Marina was closed for a rebuild. His professional opinion is that if the consultant report was in a legal court, much would not be allowed due to misinformation and maybes. There is a second report from Pero Engineering that disputes much of the consultant report ; nothing has been heard about that tonight. If what the City was deciding on was right , the MAC and slip renters and boat owners would be agreeing . He cited several parts of the Kimley-Horn report he stated were incorrect or missing information. He suggested working together, knowing there are ways to open the Marina and move forward ; it is not too late to look at all the facts. He will email the Commission in the next few days and address the questions the Commission had that they did not get the right answers. Susan Foote 2100 Mangrum Drive, representing the Windlasses as well as her company, The Canvas Yard, commented: She has no boat in the Marina. She has the Pero Engineering report. There were two engineering reports provided to the Commissioners : one paid for by the City and one paid for privately by concerned citizens, 24-14

Regular Meeting Notes December 19, 2024 Dunedin City Commission showing how much they care. She agreed there were some problems with the Kimley -Horn report. She thought it would be worth it to look at the Pero report and maybe follow those guidelines. She would like to see the ramp opened and people on Dock C should be able to use their boats and get the Windlasses back, because their building is fine. She submitted the report to the City Clerk. Newton Beardsley commented his dock seems to be fine and he was hoping the Marina could be opened in a limited fashion. David Belt of 2377 Indigo Drive, Clearwater, whose parents are Dunedin residents and slip renters, commented: Much of what is being discussed seems to be based on being able to collect from FEMA, which is reasonable and prudent. He would be a proponent of opening the Marina where possible and that seems to be largely driven by the fire suppression system dependent on the one seawall being repaired. He would be in support of whatever can be done to get the slip renters and Windlasses back and have access to the boat ramp at a bare minimum. Harry Mattheus of 646 Scotland Street and Windstar Sailing Charters commented: He wanted to express appreciation to the Commission and City staff for their proactive efforts and the timing with Kimley-Horn, noting there was a report before the storm and after the storm, so it is really clear where the damages were; that made it easier to get the FEMA funds. He suggested Dock C and the ramp and the west and south walls need to be open and the sailing center and the front wall so the golf cart people can watch the sunset. The fence needs to be moved back on the north side as far as possible to get more people to be able to watch the sunset. He thought there were some things that could be done on Docks A & B, which are a loss and will have to be rebuilt. Also, something needs to be done about the fire suppression system whether there are boats there or not. He wants it to be safe. Claudia Nable, President and Founder of Sailability Greater Tampa Bay , thanked the Commission for everything they are doing , noting that people do not realize what is going on and how many steps there are and things can be done concurrently. Hearing and seeing no one else wishing to speak, Mayor Freaney closed the public input. Commission Comments Mayor Freaney noted staff would be bringing this issue back to the Commission on January 21, 2025, with more information. Commissioner Walker agreed with the comment about having an opportunity here and noted the various items that could be fixed. For the slip renters and residents, he understands as a boat owner; he has been on the waitlist for four years for the Dunedin Marina. All options and alternatives should be explored. The report is the catalyst to get this process started. He pointed out in part the process is being driven by the funding sources, and it is moving forward with City money. He asked that staff, in the analysis of all the options, look into if this can be done in a phased transition and not force people to leave the Marina, which he believed could be accomplished. 24-15

Regular Meeting Notes December 19, 2024 Dunedin City Commission Commissioner Dugard stated he was looking at the Marina opening sequentially and all the various pieces coming forward at different times. It would have to be a safety issue to convince him that the south and west wall could not come open faster than Docks A, B, & C. If for some reason FEMA will not recognize that phased approach, then it is a different matter. He expressed concern for the difference in point of view between the consultant report and what the general population says can be done . He thinks that safe shortcuts should be examined. He did like the idea of being able to have his boat at the Marina in 2 ½ years at a lesser rate than previously thought. Vice Mayor Gow commented on the Commission being as anxious as the boat owners to get the Marina open. He agreed this can be an opportunity with patience, though he understands that can be difficult. He echoed most comments made by his colleagues in terms of being as frugal as possible, leading to also saving the slip renters money. The FEMA guidelines have to be adhered to moving as quickly and efficiently as possible while not jeopardizing any potential funding. He would also like a phased approach; however, he hopes it is feasible to find a way the Windlasses and Youth Sailing can occur. He also agreed with attempting to get the boat ramp open . Commissioner Sandbergen commented the Marina is about more than just the boats for the community. There was no question for him if there could be a way found to accommodate any Marina activities, he would support that, noting that only about 500 of the 36,000 residents use the Marina. He will support whatever City staff can bring forward. Mayor Freaney commented regarding the procurement policies, which she noted with Finance Director Tyler follow State guidelines and the advice of the City Attorney. She agreed there is an opportunity here in view of previous discussions in terms of the slip renter rates and concerns for the Marina projects. She completely agrees with the phased approach to the extent possible to try to accommodate the existing boat owners and users, and that is fully understanding the safety and logistical issues. Mayor Freaney reiterated that on January 21 , 2025, a clearer picture will be presented. City Manager Bramley commented: This has been very difficult for City staff; their mission is to remain professional. She appreciated the remarks tonight as well as those at the MAC meeting, which also had good public input. City staff will continue to communicate with the MAC every two weeks in terms of progress and meet with them every month. She thought it was a good discussion tonight. She equated this to the Dunedin Golf Course and its previous condition and public concerns three years ago; the renovated Donald Ross Golf Course now has a waiting list of 135 golfers. It will open on December 28, 2024. The Marina will also get across the finish line and City staff will push as hard as possible to get there , working with the slip renters and the Marina Advisory Committee. The City will do their best to get whatever open they can; they have already had that discussion and were waiting for the assessment. The assessment showed that Dock C, the south seawall , the west seawall , and the ramp are not that badly damaged, so there are possibilities there and it is something staff is already working on. Mayor Freaney closed the meeting with she and the Commissioners wishing everyone happy holidays. 24-16
