1.5. Terminate the contract with Advanced Engineering and Design (AED) effective immediately

Commissioner Clark explained he believed it was time to move on from Advanced Engineering and Design due to support of a mandate that would have added $200,000-300,000 cost to resident home improvement, negative impact on economic growth, used our work product to promote business in other communities and highest multiplier at 3.0 than any other of the city contract on call engineers.

City Attorney Cowan confirmed. Mayor Doctor clarified to take something off the agenda three commissioners would have to agree.

AGENDA ITEM NO. I.2 Item Cover Page DATE: April 15, 2025 SUBMITTED BY: Jesse Miller, Community Development ITEM TYPE: Resolutions AGENDA SECTION: ITEMS OF BUSINESS SUBJECT: Adoption of the 2025 Pinellas County Multi-Jurisdictional Local Mitigation Strategy. BACKGROUND: The City Commission is being requested to adopt the 2025 Pinellas County Multi-Jurisdictional Local Mitigation Strategy (LMS). The LMS is fundamental to local hazard mitigation planning, receiving federal hazard mitigation grants, and participation in the National Flood Insurance Program’s (NFIP) Community Rating System (CRS). The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the State of Florida require a comprehensive update to the LMS every five years. The current LMS was adopted in 2020 and will expire on May 6, 2025. POLICY/PURPOSE: The purpose of this item is to request the Commission to adopt the 2025 Pinellas County Multi-Jurisdictional Local Mitigation Strategy. STRATEGIC PLAN RELEVANCE: Adoption of the Local Mitigation Strategy aligns with Goal 1 of the Infrastructure Road Map stated in the City's Strategic Plan, "Protect City assets to sustain the future of Treasure Island." ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION: The Pinellas County Multi-Jurisdictional Local Mitigation Strategy (LMS) serves as a countywide hazard mitigation plan. The LMS is broad in scope and includes a description of hazards that may impact Pinellas County, their probability of occurrence, the geographic areas that are most vulnerable, and potential loss estimates. The plan also includes ongoing and potential mitigation initiatives for each municipality. The primary purpose of the LMS is to reduce fatalities, injuries and BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS AGENDA ITEM REPORT 9

property losses caused by natural hazards in Pinellas County. In accordance with the Federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000, a local government must have an adopted LMS in order to be eligible for any federal hazard mitigation grants. In the 2025 LMS update, Treasure Island has identified five potentially eligible mitigation projects for consideration should funding become available under the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program and/or any other grant program (Appendix D). Additional projects will continuously be added. Projects Listed 1. Reconstruction of Public Works Garage and Yard 2. Citywide Seawall repair for locations not listed as a separate project 3. Public Works seawall replacement 4. Kingfish Park seawall rehabilitation 5. Public Safety Complex and EOC The LMS also serves as the County’s Floodplain Management Plan. A five-year comprehensive update to the plan is a required component for participation in the CRS program. Treasure Island is currently a Class 6. Property owners receive a 20% discount on flood insurance premiums for the City’s participation in the CRS program. The 2025 LMS fulfills the requirement of a five-year update to the City’s Floodplain Management Plan. Treasure Island adopted the first unified Pinellas County Local Mitigation Strategy in 1999, along with subsequent 5-year updates in 2004, 2009, 2015, and 2020. The 2025 LMS update was developed by the LMS Working Group, together with consulting assistance from Atkins Group and the Pinellas County Flood Risk and Mitigation Public Information Working Group (FRMPIWG). In 2019, the Program for Public Information (PPI) committee transitioned into a multi- jurisdictional stakeholder working group known as the FRMPIWG. The purpose of the FRMPIWG is to improve communication with citizens, and to provide information about flood hazards, flood safety, flood insurance, ways to protect property, and the benefits of natural floodplain functions. The FRMPIWG is a group of public and private stakeholders formed to supplement input into the planning process. The City of Treasure Island was represented on the FRMPIWG by the 10

Community Development Department and two community representatives. The 5-year update process included extensive public outreach efforts (Appendix A) and an elaborate review and update to the LMS. The Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM) has reviewed and determined that the 2025 Pinellas County LMS is compliant with federal standards related to hazard mitigation and is ready for adoption by the County and participating local governments. Upon adoption by all participating jurisdictions, FDEM will send all necessary documentation to FEMA, who will then issue formal approval of the Pinellas County LMS. A complete copy of the 2025 LMS can be received upon request to the Pinellas County Planning Department or Treasure Island Community Development Department. The Executive Summary and Summary of Changes are included in this agenda packet. Pinellas County is planning to adopt the 2025 LMS five-year update on April 22, 2025. FUNDING: Funding for the five-year LMS comprehensive update was provided by the Pinellas County Housing and Community Development Department. MOTION: I move to approve and adopt Resolution 2025-06, Adopting the 2025 Pinellas County Multi-Jurisdictional Local Mitigation Strategy. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Resolution 2025-06.DOCX 2.
