More people are needed to step up , and to encourage that , Pinellas County has reestablished the new Director of the Veterans Service Office in Clearwater . His name is Reggie Fujimoto , a very strong person who will encourage more and more Veterans to come into the V.A. system and get the help they deserve. There are Purple Heart Recognition flyers by the City of Dunedin for the event the Parks & Recreation staff have put together , along with Mr. Fujimoto 's card. 23-1

Award of RFP 23-1232, City of Dunedin Strategic Planning, to Florida Institute of Government (FIOG) at the University of South Florida, in the amount of $64,512.50 . City Manager Bramley advised: During the last budget cycle for FY2023 , the City Commission allocated funds for Strategic Planning . This is a 2-year process beginning with the drafting of the Strategic Plan itself. The purpose of the Strategic Planning effort is to stitch together all the documents the City has into one plan moving forward to provide much more definition on how the City can achieve the 6 Epic! Goals and to provide measurables as far as those go and chronology as to when they will be accomplished. The City has a really good document in the Business Plan , which the City Commission adopts every year ; this began about 5 years ago. It is an annual , 1-year document. Those Business Plan Initiatives have a Department in charge , a timeframe to accomplish the goal , and a funding source . The City still lacks the general direction in terms of how all of those goals work together to accomplish the will of the community through the Commission. This will sort of put legs on that effort. Th is is the first part to draft a plan through collaboration with the community , leadership , and employees. The second part is to develop a dashboard that is acceptable to everyone. That is how the City will ensure accomplishing the Strategic Plan . She is very passionate about this having worked for two cities that adopted a strategic plan and deployed it effectively. It really can move the City forward in the direction that the Commission 's constituents want them to go. Assistant to the City Manager Delfino advised : The documents attached in the Request for Proposal have very clear outcomes and objectives to achieve as far as developing a mission , vision , and values. It also includes setting those strategic initiatives or goals, identifying SMART goals (Specific , Measurable , Achievable , Relevant , and Time- Based) , and identifying some metrics and measurements in the plan . 23-3

Work Session Minu tes July 25, 2023 Dune di n City Com mission For this project, the process is as critical as the outcome ; it actually serves more than one purpose in developing the goals as well as engagement, education , and change management. As far as engaging the community leaders, employees , and leadership staff to inform and craft the big ideas , this creates transparency and deve lops goals , initia tives , and outcomes. It also creates investment in the plan itself. The reasoning is to work toward whatever those goals end up looking like , whether that is to help residents , the community , the environment, and so on. The other part is educating the public and employees on the purpose of the plan ; this also creates investment in the plan and understanding of the purpose. Moving through the process and looking to implement the plan and dev el op metrics , this is all part of change management , building relationships , identifying leaders , and engaging employees at all levels to be creative and invested . One of the biggest pieces to change management is consistency , communication , and leadership ; having a project champion and being supported by leadership provides the best opportunity for a successful outcome for this project. A bonus to this is employee retention . In a recent Florida City and County Management Association (FCCMA) training session , there was comment that when a prospective employee is looking at an organization and can clearly see the goals and achievements they have , the more likely they may be attracted to that organization. When talking about telling the story of the City , this is another way to do that within the organization and to the public. After that process is said and done , the City has a clear plan ; that is when the work starts closely with the departments to develop measurements to support and drive the goals . The goals by themselves are aspirations until it can be shown how specific initiatives or projects have improved or advanced those goals. That is what staff is looking to do with the second part of this : to identify those measurements and create a dashboard they can report to the Commission , leadership , and community, which creates more transparency. City Manager Bramley advised : One of the things being done through the budget process is creating a new division in the City Manager 's Office; that division is Strategy , and they decided on Sustainability as well. This Strategic Planning process needs to be supported by leadership and needs to have a project manager or owner and that would be Assistant to the City Manager Delfino , who just received her Master's Degree in Public Administration and did a lot of strategic review of plans and analysis. That division will drive this part icu lar work effort and implementation. Eventually , all employees will be talking about their measurements to meet their goals and everyone will know the direction the City is going. She is very excited about the process . The Commission has allocated the funding for the plan ; this is the proposal for the first part of the Strategic Plan with Florida Institute of Government (FIOG) at the University of South Florida , along with St. Petersburg College Collaborative Labs . Commission questions, concerns, and comments were addressed to include : Clarification that meetings are expected to be a mix of live and virtual , as virtual has been found to have good attendance and the City has discretion on the suggested process 23-4

The grant is a lottery system through the State with no guarantee ; however , the application is thought to have a lot of merit and the feeling is good . The State would review the application ; the City would support it with American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA ) funds in the amount of $610 ,000 . There is competition within Pinellas County. The grant is to secure Low Income Hous ing Tax Credits (LIHTC) at the 9% level to help finance the project.

If staff is to establish those appropriations to work on and coordinate with other cities and reach out to Legislators about certain topics , she would ask that it is one or two priorities and not a whole list because of not having the labor or time. She thought that is something staff could do and bring back to the Commission in September, which she would like to talk with Department Directors about. In September , it will be known exactly what the budget looks like , as it has to be nailed down by the end of August with public hearings in September . Consensus Direction: Recommendations from staff on the projects for the Commission as to what the City should be pursuing for appropriations ; what is appropriate and is most likely to be approved.

Advised that at the Suncoast League of Cities , they had a planning session with the focus of the discussion being on one or two projects staying in some kind of cohesive group and talking about issues important to cities. Commissioner Gow : Announced the City Band will be competing at the North American Championships in Ontario from August 4-5 , 2023. Gave a reminder that band camp has started and for everyone to be mindful of that when driving. Advised the Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority (PSTA} is going through the budget process ; however , nothing is formal at this time . It is a very tight year and they are looking at cutting some routes and a Dunedin route is currently on that list; it is Route 813 , which goes between Alderman and Countryside Mall/Belcher at Palm Lake Villages and so forth. On this issue , Mayor Bujalski noted when she sat on the Board , there was an attempt to eliminate the Palm Lake Villages route and she fought against that because it is a County Senior Housing Development for low income and it would be taking away the only public transportation they have access to. She suggested a letter on behalf of the City and notifying the County of the issue. Noted he attended the Golf Club meeting as well , which was a good meeting . On this issue , City Manager Bramley provided some details of the meeting and significant discussion ensued regarding the Club and Clubhouse . Commissioner Freaney : Reported that the Chair of the Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council has resigned due to personal reasons ; at this time , Vice-Chair Woody Brown (Mayor, City of Largo) is in charge and she is second in charge as Secretary/T reasurer. She thought they would keep their current titles for now . Noted there was a great meeting with the Blue Jays on the Toronto trip , and in a confere nc e call with Elizabeth Brincklow , they discussed what could be a compromise about what the Jay Walk art could - be at the stadium. Commissioner Walker: Advised the Dunedin Fine Arts Center will be holding their monthly Board meeting in person on August 3, 2023 , which will be a first opportunity to meet the new CEO candidate . Mayor Bujalski : Noted there will be a meeting regarding the trip to Scotland at The Dunedin Brewery on Sunday at noon; no dates have been set and will occur after Worlds in August. A general outline will be pursued ; however , some of it is up for change. Announced the Dunedin History Museum has hired their CEO ; tonight , at their Board meeting , they will be approving her contract. They will also be approving a contract with Vinnie Lu isi as an independent contractor. Advised on Forward Pinellas regarding the seat issue , which has expanded even further . Another meeting will be held on August 2, 2023 , at 11 :00 a.m . A supermajority was needed and not everyone was present ; two of the eleven or twelve who were present voted against the new plan , which was not enough to reach the supermajority. For the new plan , Pinellas County Commissioner Eggers suggested giving Clearwater an extra seat ; giving Tarpon Springs a seat; and giving St. Petersburg 23-11

Work Session Minutes July 25 , 2023 Dunedin City Commission and Pinellas County another seat for the correct proportion . That wou ld be St. Petersburg and the County would have 4 seats ; Clearwater would have 2 seats and then they would add the Tarpon Springs seat. That would come out to nineteen seats, an odd number, which was important to everyone because everyone wins. She was not going to oppose another city getting extra seats , but it did fail. At the next meeting , there will hopefully be a full board. She is in support as long as Dunedin retains its full seat. Advised at the Tourist Development Council (TDC) , there was discussion about an Economic Development piece for Coca-Cola. They were able to approve $75,000 for the Highland Games ; Commissioner Gow will be working with the organization. Also , the 2022 Vis itor Profile came out ; it is the document she uses and an interesting piece of information is that the total percentage of cars from tourism in Pinellas County is 90% for the year. Annually , of the number of cars that are on our roads, 90% are tourists ; compared to the number of residents and when narrowed down to Dunedin , it is 91 .7% . She acknowledged a tourist includes those from another county ; it includes anyone who does not live in Pinellas County or the City.
