Director of HR & Risk Management Dr. Theresa Smalling accepted the proclamation with thanks on behalf of all City employees and introduced a short video presentation; thereafter, Dr. Smalling commented: As of March 2025, state and local government employed 20.6 million public servants. That represents 14.5% of the total U.S. workforce. 75% of public servants are represented by local government. In the City of Dunedin, there are currently 414 employees; as of today, there are 40 vacancies, but 15 candidates with start dates. Last week, the largest orientation class was held with 14 employees. City of Dunedin employees are the best in not just the City, but the U.S. and maybe the world. 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.

ITEMS PULLED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA- 2.c. Cinco De Mayo Celebration Revocable License Agreement 2025 Mayor Freaney inquired regarding the Cinco De Mayo Celebration being held on a day other than May 5th_ Tina Marie Avila explained : This year, Cinco De Mayo falls on a Monday. Last year it was on a Sunday, and by 7:30 p.m., most of the crowd had cleared. The hours they make the most money for the event are between 7:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. The event last year cost them $89,000, which includes approximately $8,000 to the City of Dunedin in fees; over $5,000 to the Sheriff's Office; rentals of equipment; employees on overtime; more than 100 volunteers; rentals of bathrooms; tables and chairs; and it goes on. Although they do the event for promotion, they do like to at least break even . From the past 33 years, they know that they are guaranteed success on a Friday night barring a weather event. They just want to set themselves up for financial success. She noted the increase in wages and the cost of goods and the difficulty these days for restaurants to make a profit. They want to continue to serve Dunedin and hoped the Commission would grant the opportunity to have a successful event. 25-2

Work Session Minutes April 15, 2025 Dunedin City Commission They will be open on Cinco De Mayo, Monday, May 5th and expect to be busy on that day as well; however, that will be inside the restaurant. She commended the Parks & Recreation employees, especially Community Center/Special Events Program Coordinator Jorie Peterson, who has made the process smooth and easy.

MOTION: Motion was made by Commissioner Walker and seconded by Vice Mayor Gow to approve Consent Agenda item 2.c. VOTE: Motion carried unanimously. 3. ACTION ITEMS 3.a. Arts and Cultural Advisory Committee (ACAC) Continuance Staff Presentation Strategy & Sustainability Manager Delfino, liaison to the ACAC, turned the presentation over to Chair Cindy Gorshe Collman for an update in regard to the staff recommendation for continuance of the committee. Ms. Collman stated she was present to request the continuance of the Arts and Cultural Advisory Committee, provided a brief history of the committee established in 2003, and elaborated on the vital role of public art for the City, residents, and visitors. With the Public Arts Master Plan (PAMP), the committee's mission is in defining the City's public art, assist by honoring the history of the City, and celebrating its culture, diversity, and character to create a stimulating, rich, and welcoming community for residents and visitors to experience. The PAMP provides clear guidelines for acquisition, conservation, and maintenance of public artwork. Setting the ACAC apart is their use of specialized subcommittees that follow structured PAMP protocols for issuing Requests for Proposals (RFP), Request for Qualifications (RFQ), selection of artists, recommending artworks to the Commission, and overseeing project installations. They actively promote and educate the public about the artwork through various ways. The PAMP established the Public Arts Funding Ordinance of 0.5% of the project costs for all above ground development for both public and private development projects; that money shall be used for onsite artwork or deposited into the Public Art Fund. Ms. Gorshe noted thirteen projects have been installed in the last three years: The Sun Will Rise Again Artwork for the six meeting rooms within the government center Chamber artworks with artist rotation every six months in the government center Below the Wall Mosaic - Pioneer Park The Sea - in front of the government center Celebration - bus stop at Main/Douglas Fortitude - Fire Station 62 on Belcher Two bike trail benches Three Patricia Avenue benches The Blue Jay Mural - TD Stadium Six Leland Chase Murals - MLK Blvd. 25-3

Work Session Minutes April 15, 2025 Four Signal Box Wraps of City History - Main/Patricia Stormwater Drain Murals - Fenway and TD Stadium Current Ongoing Projects Dunedin City Commission Phase 2 of the Leland Chase Murals - proposed additional six murals Signal Box Wraps - proposed thirteen plus two at Keene Road City Aquatic Complex Old City Hall Park Proposed changes to the PAMP Funding formula recommendation for sustainability of the Public Art Fund from both municipal and private development projects Continue the support of the City's Scottish cultural heritage Continue support of the Dunedin Public Theater The committee meets ten months of the year; however, this year was affected by the hurricanes. Several subcommittees typically have three meetings per project, resulting in a very productive past three years. This does not include the dedication of artworks and six Artist Talk receptions held. Many hours of work are provided in administration and artistic expertise by Elizabeth Brincklow, City Art Consultant. She and the committee members are very proud of these accomplishments. She thanked the Commission for the past support and they request the continuance of the Arts & Culture Advisory Committee. 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. MOTION: Motion was made by Commissioner Dugard and seconded by Commissioner Sandbergen to continue the Arts and Cultural Advisory Committee for another three years. Commission Comments The Mayor and Commissioners commented on their support and appreciation for the Arts & Cultural Advisory Committee. VOTE: Motion carried unanimously. 3.b Committee on Aging Continuance (COA) Staff Presentation Recreation Program Coordinator Brett Montegny, liaison to the GOA, advised Chair Cindy Cole would be speaking about the Committee on Aging. She recognized the members of the COA who were present. Ms. Cole commented and elaborated on the various committee activities: They always have a full quorum at their meetings with a full house including representatives from organizations Empath Health; Neighborly Network, which was granted $1 Million for Meals on Wheels and the request was sent again this year; MRP; MRP Technology; and Area Agency on Aging Pasco/Pinellas. Last year, the committee administered the Intergenerational Essay Contest and promoted new ideas and changed the format to include art, music, and poems and had first, second, and third place prizes 25-4

The committee is asking the Commission to favorably consider continuing the Committee on Aging in the current form for another three years. 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. MOTION: Motion was made by Commissioner Walker and seconded by Vice Mayor Gow to continue the Committee on Aging Committee for another three years. Commission Comments The Mayor and Commissioners expressed their support and appreciation for the work done by the Committee on Aging. VOTE: Motion carried unanimously. 3.c. Award the construction of Bid #25-2511 - Virginia Street Watermain Replacement Project to Cacique Utilities, LLC, of Greenacres, FL, in the amount of $920,810. Staff Presentation Assistant Director of Utilities/City Engineer Watkins advised regarding the project and the details as outlined in the staffing memo attached to the agenda. This project is located on Virginia Street, from Lake Haven Road to Keene Road. The existing 12" diameter cast-iron watermain is deteriorating and is subject to periodic leaks and main breaks. The water main has experienced three (3) breaks in the past two (2) years, which required emergency repairs in 2023 and most recently in March 2025. Installing a new watermain will improve infrastructure integrity, fire protection, and water quality. The project was competitively advertised and bid as described in the attached Purchasing Agent memorandum. Thirteen (13) bids were received, ranging in cost from $920,810 to $1,525 ,001.50. City staff reviewed all of the bids and determined Cacique Utilities, LLC, had the lowest price and was a responsive and responsible bidder, in the amount of $920,810. Staff recommends award of Bid #25-2511 for construction of the Virginia Street Watermain Replacement Project to Cacique Utilities, LLC, of Greenacres, FL, in the amount of $920,810. Commission questions, concerns, and comments were addressed to include: The anticipated start date is in the next two to three months with a completion date of six months. The project is on the north side of Virginia Street. In terms of road closures, there might be some instances of lane closures with ftaggers depending on the proximity to the road. 25-5

Work Session Minutes April 15, 2025 Dunedin City Commission Concern was expressed for being proactive in regard to this project being after three breaks , and Mr. Watkins explained regarding leakage tests to determine where there might be areas beginning to fail. Utilities Director Bennett explained the ongoing maintenance of all the utilities and the water system in particular is continuous ; in this particular case, she explained the complications with the particles in the soil setting up corrosion with cast-iron. Areas found to be vulnerable are added to the CIP and they work towards getting those out of the system. Also, in this case, the project was already budgeted. Public Input Mayor Freaney opened the item to public input. Hearing and seeing no one wishing to speak, Mayor Freaney closed the public input. MOTION: Motion was made by Commissioner Sandbergen and seconded by Commissioner Walker for award of the construction of Bid #25-2511 for the Virginia Street Watermain Replacement Project to Cacique Utilities, LLC, of Greenacres, FL, in the amount of $920 ,810. Commission Comments The Mayor and Commissioners stated their support for the necessary infrastructure project. VOTE: Motion carried unanimously . BREAK approx. 10:00 A.M. -10:10 A.M. 3.d. Award of Phase 2 Architectural & Engineering Design Services for the Gladys E. Douglas Preserve to Wannemacher Jensen Architects, Inc., (WJA} of St. Petersburg, FL, in the amount of $416,377. Staff Presentation Interim Parks & Recreation Director Jocelyn Brodhead introduced Chase Meyer with Wannemacher Jensen Architects (WJA), gave a brief history of the acquisition of the Preserve, and advised: In terms of development, it is actually providing access to the eastern portion of the preserve and adding amenities that will support the passive recreational use for the community while honoring the vision of Gladys Douglas, enduring responsible use and protection of this treasured natural environment. Phase 1 opened in February 2023 for the western portion offering nature trails, interpretive signage, temporary parking, and temporary restroom facilities. The WJA firm is on the list of the City's preapproved consultants and has extensive experience in municipal and recreational architectural programs, including Dunedin's Fire Station 61. The scope of services includes the schematic design, design development , construction documents, bidding, permitting , and construction administration for the architectural and engineering services and installation of basic infrastructure/utilities such as a parking lot, driveway, water/sewer connections, electrical systems, fire protection supply lines, and necessary stormwater improvements. The scope includes access to Jerry Lake and the eastern portion of the property. Amenities will include an ADA-accessible kayak/canoe launch, pier, picnic pavilion, observation platform, and permanent restrooms. Attachment B/Exhibit A- Page 6 shows the preliminary concept of the proposed amenities and locations. Should the proposal be approved today, it will be presented to the Commission for input as the preliminary concept is further defined. The Hackworth home will also be evaluated for its structural integrity and feasibility of bringing it up to Code for public assembly; however, at this time, staff questions whether that is viable and they will do due diligence to look at all options. Staff will work in tandem with the design process to address the removal of the remaining items on the property so the site is ready for construction. 25-6

Work Session Minutes April 15, 2025 Dunedin City Commission The WJA scope and fee proposal was thoroughly reviewed by City staff; the proposal was deemed reasonable and aligned with the project requirements. Therefore, staff recommends award of GEC Service Authorization Task Assignment for Architectural & Engineering Design Services for Phase 2 of the Gladys E. Douglas Preserve to Wannemacher Jensen Architects, Inc., (WJA) of St. Petersburg, FL, in the amount of $416,377; and to designate Jorge M. Quintas, P.E., Deputy City Manager, as the City's authorized designee to execute the Service Authorization. Commission questions, concerns, and comments were addressed to include: In reference to the Attachment B/Exhibit A- Page 6 preliminary concept, Mr. Meyer explained: A short improvement is proposed from Virginia Avenue up to about 50' into the property, which is asphalt; the remaining part currently open into Phase 1 is crushed concrete. The intent is to explore keeping it passive and not having asphalt, which requires high maintenance; the thought was that not only would the access road from where it terminates now (as shown on the map with 'P' where the parking would be) have as little impact as possible to the vegetation, but they want to look at having crushed concrete in that impervious area that has to come out. They intend to do as little impact to existing vegetation as possible and to possibly use crushed concrete again. It would be a one-way in one-way out so not too much has to be cleared north of the current access. Fire protection has to be provided, so some minor clearing of trees is anticipated, which they are trying to keep at a minimum. The red area shown to the north indicates the need for bringing in potable water and sewer out. The utilities are currently on a private well and septic. Map Colors: Yellow - entire property (it does not show the entire preserve that includes Jerry Lake) Heavy Tree Canopy - open and western portion Blue - eastern portion of the property as part of Phase 2 to be developed Gray - driveway and parking White - existing trails Red - line along the white is the fence separating the protected area to the north Thick Red - utilities Ms. Brodhead explained Phase 2 will bring the Preserve to its complete vision; it has been zoned by City Code to be maintained as a preserve in perpetuity. It is to be minimally developed with these amenities, with the vegetation and wildlife protected for passive use of the community. City Manager Bramley added part of the FTC grant and closing documents on the property stipulated the elements; anything above that is not permitted. The phases were not initially intended; however, the City was able to do Phase 1 by City staff to get open, and then Phase 2 has more requirements and use of the grant funding. Ms. Brodhead explained the maintenance of the preservation of the property, including the shared responsibility with Pinellas County. A flora inventory has been conducted; she was not sure about a fauna inventory and there has been no discussion regarding an inventory of wildlife. Fishing is open to discussion as to the parameters of the FTC grant. Regarding sustainable strategies, those will be utilized; however, it is anticipated that the facilities will not be certified for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) or other green building programs. The restrooms will be a non-air-conditioned space, and the understanding is that does not need a LEED certification. Mr. Meyer provided further information regarding the various certifications and that at this stage, they are pursuing it as though they were doing the LEED certification without actually getting it certified. There are processes for retroactive; however, that would involve going through the entire list of 25-7

Work Session Minutes April 15, 2025 Dunedin City Commission elements and requirements. The Florida Building Code, which they operate on now , is inherently a LEED Silver . Regarding the current parking area in Phase 1, it will remain; this aerial view is to illustrate the Phase 2 development. Currently, there are 28 existing parking spaces and the footprint for the new parking will be determined; it will probably be less than 28 spaces. In addition, regarding the parking, one of the amenities being considered for the lake is that it will have non-motorized access; one of the thoughts is that the parking area would provide individuals to come in with their kayaks and canoes and ask for looking at some spaces for that type of parking. This would be because they would not want vehicles near the launch and not have to cleared a space for vehicles ; that will play into the number and type of parking spaces. There is no plan to change any access points , and in terms of the cemetery, it would only be emergency access. Bicycle access is only through Virginia; the suggestion was for a clean bicycle access; crushed concrete does not work well for bicycles . A bus stop was suggested for consideration. There is no golf cart access due to it being a County roadway. The County does have plans for a sidewalk along County Road 1 that would make a connection . It would be risky to have grills in this area at the picnic areas. The County plan is inclusive of removing the invasive species and the Nature Center; at this time, there is not a timeline for the Nature Center. Design Costs : $416 ,377 Client's Budget for Construction Cost and Delivery Method. Estimated $2 ,650 ,000 Project Budget inclusive of design , geotechnical explorations, survey, permitting, civil, site work , and construction. It was noted that with the issue of increased costs and possible tariffs , the costing would need to be brought up to date and will be provided. City Manager Bramley advised regarding the budget, staff will put toge ther a finance plan from a number of different funds, which will have to be presented at a later date . She reiterated there are elements required from the FTC grant, which will have to be done first. Regarding the concern of alligators in the lake, City Manager Bramley advised there was significant discussion on that issue when the City was looking to acquire the lake. There are alligators in almost every lake in Florida and people are kayaking on them. It was clarified regarding the Commission having the opportunity to decide on moving forward with construction once the Design is presented due to the possible increase in costs and the econom ic climate at that time. City Manager Bramley explained the elements required by the FTC grant must be a go or they must send the $2.4 Million back. The plan moving forward is the same as has been done in the past with this type of project, wh ich is to put together the finance plan as the budget is developed with the various other large projects; it will be done in the totality of the budget, not just project by project, and staff will put that before t he City Commission for a final decis ion. Ms. Brodhead advised the FTC grant has a stipu lation that the site is developed by April 2027. Consultant Bruce Wirth explained there can be a request made in relation to the increased costs and so forth; FTC is committed to the amount already granted. However , that request would be starting over for that ; the good thing is they awarded the grant , so they recognized it as a viable project they wanted to fund. He elaborated on the various aspects of making that request in terms of how the State will look at it and what is before them at the time. City Manager Bramley corrected and clarified her previous comment, noting that the $2.4 Million FTC grant was for the purchase of the property, so that is done . The additional funding is in the Penny-for- 25-8

Work Session Minutes April 15, 2025 Dunedin City Commission Pinellas Fund with $2.4 Million set aside; the City will need to find the money in the Penny or General Fund or somewhere else. The FTC grant of $2.4 Million would not go back to the State and that funding has already been used. The elements specified in the purchase of the property must be put in . City Attorney Cowan advised the Commission to remember with the FTC grant, the City not only has the money provided for the acquisition of the property, but there are deed restrictions on this property. It is not just pulling back the money, but if the City does not follow the deed restrictions, there may be a reversion of the property to them. She also thought it is a different ask if asking for money versus asking for additional time due to economic circumstances. Concern was expressed regarding the number of parking spaces and the vision for the use of the facility, and Ms. Brodhead commented the expectation is the same as other outdoor activity with higher usage in a better climate and cooler weather. Every time she has visited, she has seen a maximum of two to three cars with a maximum of five or six people at any given time; she spends a considerable amount of time there to gauge usage. Hammock Park is more multiuse with different amenities, whereas the Preserve is intended to connect with nature and so forth. In terms of the $416,000 now being considered for the Design services, Commissioner Walker asked if that is included in the budget for construction costs or if that is a separate budget line item. It was clarified that the Design costs were in addition to the money for construction, so the total is about $3 Million. The purchase of the property was in 2021. Phase 1 included an environmental analysis, surveys, and an archaeological study by a separate entity allowed on the property. Commissioner Sandbergen noted the funds expended already on the property and expressed concern that some of the work had been done previously that would trim some of these expenses. City Manager Bramley explained that was for the purchase of the property, specifically looking at what was under the soil for any issues the City would have moving forward and utilities. Mr. Wirth explained about the expenditures for the purchase of the property, survey, and environmental assessment; the price for the civil side includes bringing in potable water and a sewer line, and the geotechnical is for the observation pier. The civil expenditures seen now are for building those amenities; it is not like the purchase type investigation. Also, looking at the residence, structural integrity is a small amount associated with the project. Public Input Mayor Freaney opened the item to public input. Hearing and seeing no one wishing to speak, Mayor Freaney closed the public input. MOTION: Motion was made by Vice Mayor Gow and seconded by Commissioner Dugard for approval of a General Engineering Consultant (GEC) Service Authorization Task Assignment for Architectural & Engineering Design Services for Phase 2 of the Gladys E. Douglas Preserve to Wannemacher Jensen Architects, Inc., (WJA) of St. Petersburg, FL, in the amount of $416,377; and to designate Jorge M. Quintas, P.E., Deputy City Manager, as the City's authorized designee to execute the Service Authorization. Commission Comments The Mayor and Commissioners voiced their support for this agenda item proposal, noting that this is an asset to the City and the work needs to be done; the commitment was made for this project, though in view of the present economy, the costing does need to be reviewed. There was a reminder that the reason for the initial purchase was to prevent further development of a pristine area, and that was a good decision; they will be taking into consideration the upcoming budget process and that the City is obligated to certain promises on this property. 25-9

Work Session Minutes April 15, 2025 Dunedin City Commission While recalling the reasons for the purchase of the property, Commissioner Sandbergen noted that the Preserve is currently open and people are using it; however, he is receiving emails and expressed concern that there are many other projects that need to be taken care of. At this time, he could not support the City investing another $90,000 in Engineering fees with so many other things to do. The property belongs to the City and he would like to move more slowly. In terms of Design Review, his opinion changed from the beginning of the meeting. VOTE: Motion carried 4-1. Voting nay: Commissioner Sandbergen. 4. WORKSHOP ITEMS - None 5. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS 5.a. Commission Discussion - None 5.b. City Clerk's Update City Clerk Schlichter advised beginning Monday , April 21 , she will be out of the office for two weeks ; she will be checking emails if the Commission needs anything in her absence. 5.c. City Manager's Update Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) Reallocation Discussion Memo City Manager Bramley referred to a supplement to the City Manager's Update . It was called to attention by the employees on the Local Mitigation Strategy Committee that there has been some question as to allocation of the FEMA funds dedicated to the local governments for Infrastructure, Resiliency , and Improvements in the amount of $416 Million. The working group put together a list of 14 potent ial projects for the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) with a total of $19.3 Million. The City will not be funded for all; however , there is a priority order that has been submitted to the Local Mitigation Strategy Work Group. A question came up regarding reallocation of some of the funds to Elevate Florida, which is also a FEMA grant program by the State for residential properties; there is no requirement for a cap on the income for the property. That is for home elevation, reconstructing, mitigation, and acquiring and demolishing residences at risk from hurricane damage. Those are two different grant programs with two different focuses. One is on municipalities and the other is on local residents. The funding for the Elevate program is approximately $400 Million ; there were an estimated 6,200 applications at the closing date on April 11; of those , approximately 2,300 are in Pinellas County and approximately 82 are in the City of Dunedin. The County is asking for the cities to weigh in on reallocation of some of the funds from the HMGP to Elevate Florida to further fund that particular program. The members of the Local Mitigation Strategy Work Group sent that up to their City leadership, who brought it up to their City Commissions in terms of reallocation of some of those resources to Elevate Florida. There are several elements the Commission needs to consider, and she is looking for consensus direction for a percentage of reallocation. It seems most cities are doing about 5%, which would be approximately $20 Million; those that have supported, including Clearwater, were at 5%. The Commission could start at 5% now and then provide more in the future. Ultimately, it is the County's decision and they want the input from the cities moving forward . Elements at play include: 25-10

Work Session Minutes April 15, 2025 Dunedin City Commission Appropriations in Tallahassee, as the Legislature is in session, have dried up for infrastructure for most of the cities; therefore, this is really the City's only funding source for that essential infrastructure. If too much is reallocated to Elevate Florida, then the City will not be able to fund many of the projects the City has submitted. Staff is recommending the Commission support the 5% as a consensus direction, and in the future, they could recommend more; the County might ask for more at some point. Only 82 applicants were the Commission's constituents out of the more than 6,000 received throughout the state. She has heard it is problematic in terms of the process, including the application process and the time it takes. Elevate Florida is not a quick solution for those who need it. Given the 14 projects noted, staff is asking for consensus direction to support the 5% reallocation to Elevate Florida and then they will continue to report to the Commission on the status of projects through the HMGP process. Commission Questions/Comments Vice Mayor Gow clarified with City Manager Bramley that $20 Million is approximately 5% and that Dunedin has potentially been allocated $19.3 Million. City Manager Bramley explained the entire amount of funds in that bucket is essentially decreased by about $20 Million. Some cities did not support any projects at all. The City will continue to pursue the $19.3 Million with the understanding that not all will be awarded. It is competitive and based on priorities with the City and what the Local Mitigation Strategy Work Group recommends. Maybe one or two projects would need to drop out. In response to the question from Commissioner Sandbergen, City Manager Bramley stated she was comfortable with the number from the perspective that residents do need help. It is a minimum amount of funding at 5%. Commissioner Walker stated his support for the recommendation. Commissioner Dugard commented regarding taking care of the citizens first as well as the great strength of Dunedin's intergovernmental cooperation, which this fosters. He noted it probably will be found there are not enough resources for everything the City wants to do; however, there is the need to work with the City's neighbors. He is in support. Mayor Freaney clarified the $416 Million is for the Hazard Mitigation Program, which includes the City projects; the $400 Million Elevate Florida is for allocation for all of Florida. She was in support of the recommendation, agreeing that it will not be nearly enough money for the residents and the City is trying to incentivize people as best possible. Consensus Direction: The City Commission gave direction in support of the 5% reallocation of the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program funds to Elevate Florida as recommended. 5.d. City Attorney's Update City Attorney Cowan advised for informational purposes: There is a case where the City is the defendant; however, they do want to bring a cross claim against one of the other defendants. Basically, it is a personal injury case. One of the defendants, who is also being charged with the injury and the damages, is to indemnify the City and they are refusing to indemnify the City. The City Attorney wants to bring a cross claim against them, alleging that they must indemnify the City in pursuing that. 25-11

Work Session Minutes April 15, 2025 Dunedin City Commission Before she brings an affirmative claim against anyone, she wanted the Commission to be aware of it occurring in the James case. 5.e. Commission Comments Commissioner Walker : Advised regarding the Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority (PSTA) : He has been nominated for the Executive Committee for the PSTA. PSTA has been very proactive with their federal lobbyist in terms of working with their Congressional Delegation to get funding into the current budget, an appropriation for $1 Million to support the City's pier. For this particular ask, with the situation in Washington, there has not been a passed budget; the hope is this year will be different. Announced the upcoming Citrus Gala In reference to the Boat Clubhouse Decommissioning Ceremony, he expressed appreciation from the entire Boat Club for the City's support. Advised he attended the Faith in Action and Strength Conference, at which he noted Dunedin's Sustainability Program Manager Natalie Gass is held in high regard. There were an estimated 1,800 in attendance. Their specific ask was to support the Sustainability Matrix, which will be before the Commission soon. They recognize that Dunedin is a leader in these types of initiatives. Commissioner Dugard: Commented on the challenging budget process with much uncertainty. Advised regarding Dunedin Cares; given the economic path being seen, the organization will have extraordinary needs in the near future. More of that situation will be brought to the Commission in the future. Reported the progress at Honeymoon Island is moving along. They are partially operational. He suggested the City needs to promote that it is open, as many people are not aware. He thought there would be some things coming before the Commission relative to helping that partnership with the State Park. Vice Mayor Gow: Recognized Dunedin Public Library Director Phyllis Gorshe, acknowledging that in the 130 th Anniversary of the Library, she did include the City's Tartan in the logo. Advised the Dunedin schools are doing wonderful, but always need help. Upcoming are: Musical Theater of Mamma Mia on April 24 - 26, 2025; a Band Concert on May 15, 2025. JR OTC is doing very well as always; they do need some support for upcoming competitions. Robotics Team and classes have doubled their student enrollment for the last three years in a row. They also need some support. Announced on April 25, 2025 - 6:00 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. the First Presbyterian Church of Dunedin is holding an Earth Day Event; there will be a ribbon-cutting for the new solar panel that generates 130% of the power needed for the Church. Commissioner Sandbergen: Referred to the Boat Clubhouse Decommissioning Ceremony with the entire Commission in attendance, as well as City Manager Bramley and Deputy City Manager Quintas. He could see it meant a lot to the community. Commented on the Arbor Day Tree Give-Away that was a success. Advised he had a very constructive meeting with the Blue Jays last week, at which one of his questions was about Canadians coming to the States. He learned there was a small reduction in attendance at the 25-12

Work Session Minutes April 15, 2025 Dunedin City Commission stadium; however, it does depend on the day of the week, the opponent, and the weather, but revenue was equal if not better. Also, the timing of the Canadian spring break did not really fit with the schedule. All in all, it was deemed to be a very successful spring training. There is a lot of excitement with the upcoming City trip to Toronto. They have been working on the July 4th events. Mayor Freaney: Commented on her speaking at a Girl Scouts meeting where one of her questions to them was if they knew what a Mayor is and does. The first two answers were that the Mayor owns the City and takes care of everything to make sure it is okay. Advised she is still receiving comments regarding the Substantial Damage Letters, and the new concern is that when they want to sell, there will be some record about the damage to their home. Reported from the Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council: It was announced that Dunedin's Environmental Program Manager Michelle Monteclaro is Chair of the Stormwater Infrastructure Work Group. In conversation with the liaison to Dunedin, she commented on how happy she was to work with Dunedin staff on these issues.

Advised the City's Military Advisory group is in discussion for consideration of Dunedin potentially becoming a Red Star City, which has to do with veteran suicide.

She expected that to be coming to the City to have a proclamation with that declaration.
