DUNEDIN, FLORIDA MINUTES OF THE CITY COMMISSION REGULAR MEETING MARCH 23, 2023 PRESENT City Commission: Also Present: CALL TO ORDER CITY HALL, 542 MAIN STREET 6:00 P.M. Mayor Julie Ward Bujalski , Vice Mayor John Tornga , Commissioners Maureen "Moe " Freaney, Jeff Gow , and Robert Walker City Manager Jennifer Bramley , City Attorney Jennifer Cowan , City Clerk Rebecca Schl ichter , Finance Director Les Tyler , Parks & Recreation Director Vince Gizzi , Community Development Director George Kinney , IT Services Director Michael Nagy , Parks & Recreation Administrative Superintendent Lanie Sheets , Community Development Project Manager Kathy Gademer , Social Media Coordinator Antonella Nakfour and fourteen people in the audience . Mayor Bujalsk i called the March 23 , 2023 , Regular Commission Meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. INVOCATION AND THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE City Attorney Cowan gave the invocation and led the Pledge of Allegiance . 1. PRESENTATIONS 1.a. Dunedin Library Recognition of the First Career Online High School Graduate This item had to be postponed. 1.b. Recognition of Friends of the Hammock, Inc. Administrative Superintendent Sheets in troduced Kerri O' Br ien , President of the Friends of the Hammock , and ackno wledged most of the members were in attendance and noted : The Friends of the Hammock have been an instrum ental part of supporting the Hammock Park and the initiatives there. The City wanted to take a moment to thank them for all they have done and highlight some of their accomplishments over the past few years. The Fr iends have always been a great organization to work with . Previously , there was only the Hammock Advisory Committee ; however , there were a number of members of the community who felt they could do more , so they formed the Fr iends of the Hammock , a non- profit that assists with the projects an advisory committee cannot do. One of the initiatives the Friends took on a number of years ago is the Butterfly Garden , which suffered over the years ; therefore , they jo ined forces to form an entire committee and now have a complete organ ized volunteer program where they have an "Adopt-a-Bed ," in which individual members of the commun ity adopt each of the beds. The citizens are responsible for the beds they adopt and give each of the beds their own identity. The Friends also fundraised for educational signs and entry signs into the Butterfly Garden. The Friends of the Hammock created the Second Saturday Program , in which there is an education program free of charge bringing in experts on every subject matter every month throughout the year. The Fr iends then revived the volunteer efforts at the Hammock and created a Third Satu rday Program , where every third Saturday of the month volunteers complete different projects throughout the year. These are projects that the City might not have the exact resources for , and they supplement those efforts in conjunct ion with City staff on the site. 23-1

Regular Meeting Notes March 23, 2023 Dunedin City Commission Additionally, the Friends have an annual meeting with great topics and education and revived their efforts in full force this past year ; they did a great program on the complete history of the Hammock , which the City will have in perpetuity. Especially , the Friends are thanked for undertaking a Capital Campaign to put additional resources into the Hammock ; through a number of different programs and activities , they raised over $8 ,000 to put back into the park and they will be replacing all the trail markers. Ms. Sheets presented a Certificate of Appreciation to the Fr iends of the Hammock. On behalf of the members of the Friends of the Hammock and all the board members before them in this organization , President Karri O' Brien expressed the Board 's thanks. This organization has now gone on for more than 50 years. They have combined this year with last year to do many different projects. They also have new Board members and are extending themselves. She noted memberships are available for $20.00 for the entire year , which goes to keep all their programs and events going. Friends of the Hammock Board Member Pam Hillestad commented they would not be able to do what they do without the support of the City and the workers in the park. When they ask a question or ask for help , they immediately receive the backup and support with a smiling face and helping hand. She provided some information: In 2022 there were : 12 Second Saturday events , during which time 216 people participated in one of those events ; 10 Work Day events with 98 people participating ; for that event alone , there were 294 volunteer hours ; 2 Community Outreach events ; Partnerships with 10 different organizations to bring in ·experts for the Second Saturday events. Total Volunteer Hours on the Board with Second Saturday events in addition to other volunteer hours is 225 ½. They are very proud of the amount of energy and time people are committing to this organization , and they are very proud of the support from the City. Mayor Bujalski recalled and acknowledged the efforts of the Friends of the Hammock to save the 8 acres to extend Hammock Park and thanked them for their service to the community. 1.c. Florida Surveyors and Mappers Week, March 19-25, 2023 Commiss ioner Walker read the Florida Surveyors and Mappers Week Proclamation proclaiming March 19-25, 2023 , as Florida Surveyors and Mappers Week in the City of Dunedin, Florida. Chris McLaughlin , President , MacDriller , Inc . was present to accept the proclamation and asked those professionals with him to introduce themselves and thereafter provided informat ion on their profession and shared some history of the establishment of what is now Dunedin. CITIZEN INPUT Mayor Bujalski advised now was the time for anyone in the audience who wished to speak on a topic that is not already on the agenda. Seeing and hearing no one wishing to speak , Mayor Bujalski moved to the next agenda item. 23-2

Regular Meeting Notes March 23, 2023 2. ACTION ITEMS Dunedin City Commission 2.a. Award of Bid #23-1217 for the Implementation of a Downtown Looper/Mobility Service to FreeBee LLC in the amount of $127 ,830 Staff Presentation Community Development Director Kinney advised: The Downtown Looper was commissioned as a Business Plan Initiative last year. The first year anticipates a 6-month pilot project with continuing service if the pilot is successful. The initiative will first be funded by American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds , and successive years anticipate financial reductions based on how the development of the project plays out with respect to sponsorships. The pilot planning effort would provide for a fixed-route looper , possibly combined with on- demand vehicles , and include ADA-accessible and eco-friendly vehicle(s). The consultant will implement and continually monitor , survey , and have app data to assure the most optimum service and routes should a program be adopted long-term. The system will incorporate a flexible design so that it can readily accommodate and be available for duly authorized special events. Staff circulated the RFP scope to all rel evant internal agencies for review and comment before it was publicly issued. Three (3) proposals were received and independently reviewed by an evaluation committee comprised of a single representative from Community Development, Economic Development, and the Chamber of Commerce. The candidates made formal presentations to the evaluation committee on January 3, 2023. FreeBee LLC was the highest-ranked firm by the evaluation committee. In terms of the next steps , the pilot is anticipated to start as soon as this award is approved. The City will attempt to assemble an internal working team that FreeBee would report to throughout the life of the pilot project. A kick-off meeting will be held with the City team to garner feedback in determining the parameters , routes , and timing to inform the proposal going forward. The provider has agreed to solicit program feedback from other City partners including the Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority (PSTA) , Forward Pinellas , and any other organization that has a transportation niche in the downtown . Following this effort , the provider will prepare a schedule and implementation timeframe to be provided to the City team; then , that will be brought to the City Commission for formal presentation. Operationally , the provider will introduce pilot surveys and app data , which will be analyzed to assure the most optimum service and routes. In addition , they will provide overall management and implementation of the service with the goals including but not limited to ident ifying the most efficient route(s) and desired headways , refining long-term operational costs , identi fy ing partnership and funding opportunities , estimating income and expenses , and identifying any long-term capital needs. While the program emphasizes a fixed-route system , future on-demand services will also be evaluated and potentially recommended . FreeBee LLC is providing any and all vehicles necessary to support the 6-month pilot. Additionally , the vehicles are eco-friendly and ADA accessible. The provider will also secure appropriate locations for the storage of their vehicles and /or any materials needed to successfully carry out the 6-month pilot. The prov ider will recruit , employ , and train their driver. 23-3

Regular Meeting Notes March 23, 2023 Dunedin City Commission The pilot will culminate in a Final Report opining on the feasibility of a permanent long-term service and will include data analysis in support of recommendations , anticipated sponsorships , anticipated partnerships , and a detailed cost-recovery plan . This report will be presented at a Commission meeting and/or other public workshop meeting as deemed reasonable. The committee liked that FreeBee really hit on both the City of Dunedin Comprehensive Plan and the City Multi-Modal Master Plan , particularly with respect to equity and priding themselves in service and transportation for the disadvantaged and transportation- dependent. They were also very good in their proposal regarding their environmental sensitivity , subscribing to UN Sustainability Goals and adopting Vision Zero principles. The other aspect was the turn-key operation ; they are flexible , providing looper and on-demand service. They have an aggressive PR and Marketing team , which is anticipated to work with the City 's Communications Department through the life of the project. They also offer a live dashboard where people can see where people are getting on and off , where they are going , etc .; it is a very comprehensive program. FreeBee LLC started in 2012 , and they have over 250 employees and service in over 25 communities. FreeBee CEO and co-founder Jason Spiegel was present to answer any questions. Staff is recommending award of this contract to FreeBee LLC for continued service and to introduce a 6-month pilot project. Questions for Staff Mayor Bujalski clarified with Mr. Kinney that the routes , times , and so forth are to be negotiated and determined. Commissioner Freaney clarified with Mr. Kinney that after the routing , timing , and so forth , it will come back to the Commission prior to becoming the pilot. Mr . Kinney anticipated that will be in about four to six weeks. Commissioner Freaney discussed with Mr. Kinney the goal of having this project rolled out prior to Spring Training ; however, there were delays including the weather, so the selection committee was moved back on several occasions. Mayor Bujalski expressed concern for beginning the program in the summer. Commissioner Freaney inquired whether the optimum time for imp leme ntation had been considered even if that means delaying the beginning. She noted the City ultimately wants good data on the pilot. Mr. Spiegel commented : Starting in the slow season could actually provide good data to understand who would be using the service during the off-peak months of the year and understanding data will continue to increase as they get into the peak months . He thought the start could be on either end ; obviously , it would be optimal to start during the season to be able to capture all the tourists and everyone who is in town today. However , he also thinks the City will be looking at whether this is a permanent solution for the downtown and it could be a year-long program that would operate during the off season , and that data is also very important to look at. Currently , they operate service in over 30 communities in south Florida ; some are very tourist driven while others are not. Even during the non-tourist months , they are beginning to see that there is very high ridership . 23-4

Regular Meeting Notes March 23, 2023 Dunedin City Commission Something unique about their platform outside the mobility seivice is their economic development. On their mobile app , it is essentially a directory of Dunedin. Every local business will have free advertising and they will be able to offer exclusive deals and discounts, which will help increase ridership month over month. The businesses promote the seivice; they put an entire marketing plan together. The economic development piece will help drive it off the ground. He thought starting in the off-peak months would provide good data from those months as well. Mr. Kinney noted the committee discussed splitting with a couple of months in the off-season and maybe suspending the program for a couple months in the peak times , or maybe they could think of some other creative way to get back to looking for programing at peak times. Commissioner Freaney asked how many vehicles would be on the road at one time. Mr. Spiegel explained there would be two vehicles looping around. Essentially , the wait would not be more than 10 minutes to be picked up at any of the stops. Commissioner Freaney inquired regarding the vehicles ; one would be carrying five and another would be carrying nine as well as a wheelchair. During the busy months , those numbers could be one group and there could be multiple groups waiting for the looper. Mr . Spiegel explained they run some fixed routes with some of the lower speed vehicles like the golf carts ; they have multiple vehicles they operate across many different communities and depending on the goals of the program , the capacity of the program is when they would introduce the right size vehicle. He believes , based on the short distance of the loop , that there will be pick- up and drop-off and people would not be waiting more than the City would like. Mayor Bujalski commented regarding the large van , noting that people would not get in that , but they would get into the vehicle shown for fiv e people plus the driver. Mr. Spiegel commented : Of the over thirty projects they have started , all have started as a six-month or one-year pilot , and he is proud to say every one has continued past the pilot phase. They have never had a contract cancel or stop in seivice . All that is based on the value this platform provides even outside the movement from A to B. It is meant to drive traffic to the local businesses , promote the entire community , and connect the community in ways many have not seen possible before. It has been a very successful seivice. They are a Florida operator that started in Miami-Dade County. They have a lot of experience in this and he thinks this is one of the prime type locations for this type of mobility seivice. Commissioner Freane y noted the City 's goals for the looper to pull people who live in Duned in and make it easier for them to get downtown and to have people parked at the stadium or wherever to come downtown. Mr . Kinney acknowledged that was correct ; the goal is to get people from the exterior parking areas into the downtown without driving their vehicle in. Much of this will depend on Econom ic Development/CRA Director lronsmith and his team , and there will need to be good data on the parking areas and how that will fit within the scheme of the project and the destinations. TD Ballpark and Dunedin Library will be big ones. Mayor Bujalski stated that because there is not parking in every prime spot , what the City wanted was for people to feel they could park at Mease Materials to be able to go to , for example , Casa Tina 's. They would not do the loop constantly ; they would know the looper or whatever it will be called will come by in 10 minutes or so , and they can hop on to go down to Main Street. This is not to say that it cannot expand ; however , when this first started , the idea was to go by all the 23-5

Regular Meeting Notes March 23, 2023 Dunedin City Commission parking lots and do the loop up and down Main Street , Douglas , and so forth and get people from the parking lot to where they are going so that they can park far away if they want and not have to be circling. Commissioner Freaney commented on her thoughts of more bringing people from outside parking areas like the TD Ballpark and Hale Center and bringing them downtown so they do not have to search and search for a parking space. Community Development Director Kinney noted with this service , there will be live data , which staff will be constantly reviewing ; any adjustments can be made very quickly. Mr. Spiegel noted this service will be app-based so that people will be able to track the vehicles in real time . Depending on the way it is finalized as to how it will run (i.e. either a fully fixed route system , a flex system , or on-demand) , people can see the vehicle , request a vehicle , wait to get picked up , see when it will pick them up , and explore everything happening and all the businesses while they are waiting . There is that capability and it is included within the service here as well. Mr . Walker inquired how the decision was made for two vehicles in terms of how the volume of people to be transported was measured. Mr. Spiegel explained there are some assumptions built in. They operate in many communities and a lot of downtown districts like this. One specifically is Coconut Grove , which is very similar in terms of the business district ; they operate two vehicles and it has been operating very well for a long time . That is one assumption. It is a pilot project , so they will see the data and understand what is and what is not working and adjust and come back with recommendations. The data collection they are able to provide is one of the great things about a pilot program. Mr. Walker also had the question about the peak season and going back to the volume and the assumptions for two vehicles and what constitutes success ; what is the metric for a successful pilot? He is not convinced that metric would necessarily be achieved in doing this in non-peak season. In looking at the timeline to ramp up , four to six weeks puts it in mid-May going into the summer . He is curious as to additional thoughts. Mr . Spiegel explained that in St. Pete Beach , where the program has been ongoing since 2017 , it is still very busy during the summer months . This month is peak season and they will be moving 13 ,000 to 14,000 riders with only four vehicles ; they started with only one vehicle and with that one in the pilot , they were moving 3,000 to 4,000 people just in that area. He thinks a big part of the metrics is going to be the ridership , that cost per rider at the end of the day; the surveying they will do and the feedback from the riders will also be a big metric. They have the platform on the app that people can redeem deals , and local businesses will be able to get that economic impact as well. There will be many different data points the City will be able to sort of make those analysis from. Vice Mayor Tornga commented following with his questions : He noted he knows Mr. Spiegel and his organization . He knows some of the startups begin slow and adjust as needed , which would be done as well. He is excited about the program and initiating it ; also , he is big for the on-demand . It has to start somewhere and it is a great thing for the City to become involved . He thinks it is economically feasible for the City . The City will be collecting a lot of information and the app is great that is used in a number of locations. He noted he is not advocating for the company ; however, he does think almost every city they are in is successful , started slow and changed , and built on . He thought the point he wanted to make is flexibility and they will be working with City staff to modify when and where necessary ; however, it has to start somewhere. Sometimes , starting in the middle of the season is not 23-6

Regular Meeting Notes March 23, 2023 Dunedin City Commission necessarily a good idea ; it might be better to start even at this point in time to get some real data points and information going. In terms of a quest ion , Mr. Spiegel has been in the City and looked ; there is really nothing different here than other cities , and they changed and moved. If the City has the goal of trying to keep cars out of the downtown , there are two parts ; one is the looper and the other is the on- demand. He thought it should start as quickly as possible , which was the plan that did get off track a little. He asked if Mr. Spiegel would say he is comfortable with an organization like Dunedin starting at this time point , keeping in mind that people really do not want to walk when it is hot outside. Mr . Spiegel commented : He thought the Vice Mayor's first point made sense regarding starting during the peak season ; however , sometimes during that peak season , they might be over-subscribed and over- demanded , and some people might not be able to have that true experience of the service. Other times , it is better to start off slowly and build and ramp up in time. He believes here , and like many of the other communities even during the off-peak season , it is going to be busy ; the kinks can be worked out in the beg inning and as the season starts to ramp up it will be at optimal levels . The goal is to help the City with some funding opportunities through advertising and grants. There is a lot of money out there right now that will help a lot of communities with FOOT and local businesses . This is going to be a successful program no matter when it is started. Vice Mayor Tornga commented that the data has to be collected over a significant time period , not just over a high time or low time to get that familiarity. He thought that it was the case in all the locations; they started slow and people become familiar. Vice Mayor Tornga asked for comments about the app. Mr. Spiegel explained : The app is not the typical transit app for requesting rides. It is truly a community guide to look at all the bars , restaurants , arts , entertainment , and points of interest. Every local business will have a free listing. They have an entire economic development team that will come to the City to meet with local businesses and partner with the Chamber and do presentations. It will drive a lot more value than just getting people out of the ir cars , which he knows is the main goal , to park on the outskirts coming in. The true value to be seen is so much more. It is really their mobile application that separates their service from all other types of transportation. There is a section on the home page where the City will be able to do surveying , promote events , and release public serv ice announcements ; it is much more than transportation . He encouraged the Commission to download the app to check it out. Commissioner Gow commented he already downloaded the app and it is very impressive. He questioned how the City will know the program is successful. He asked what is actually being measured ; is it the number of riders or the lack of cars downtown? Mr. Spiegel commented : He thought every community has a different Key Performance Indicator (K PI ) on how they look at these types of services. Some communities bring it in just as a full mobility service to get people to where they need to go ; others bring it in as a full economic development tool. One example is Delray Beach , which has similar goals to Dunedin , so they created a zone around the business district and another geo-fence around the residential community. The technology 23-7

Regular Meeting Notes March 23, 2023 Dunedin City Commission was set up to start or end the ride within the business district to be eligible to get the residential community to come downtown without using their car and be able to maneuver around the downtown. They are able to design the entire program around what the City is trying to accomplish. Another way the service could run is that riders have to either start or end their ride at one of the parking lots to be eligible to use the service ; if that is the true goal of the program, that can be implemented. They can implement a full loop with the flexible on demand into the program . It goes back to the City 's goals as to how they design the entire system , the metrics , the KPls , and the success of the program. Mr. Kinney noted the goals and values embedded in the Comprehensive Plan and the Multimodal Plan are not to be overlooked, particularly on the mobile equity and environmental sides. If the City can show a reduction in the vehicle miles traveled , then that is slowing greenhouse emissions and doing things from a sustainability standpoint the City aspires to. Also, on the equity side , transportation-disadvantaged individuals and transportation-dependent people will have an opportunity for basically a free ride. It is more than total ridership numbers. Mr. Spiegel commented they track preventable CO2 that otherwise could be used with a personal vehicle; on the on-demand side , there is a receipt. The service is free , but it shows how much carbon was saved by not using their car based on the trip mileage. Sustainability is embedded in everything they do. Commissioner Gow asked what the total ridership hoped for with this program is. Mr. Spiegel stated with the two vehicles , he would estimate that they could get up closer to the 4,000 riders per month at the sixth month ; that will show the system is building to a really good place. That would essentially bring down the cost to under $5.00 , which is good when it comes to fixed route micro-transit type services that is not mass transit. Commissioner Gow inquired if the City has an idea of how many people visit the downtown per month . City Manager Bramley advised they do know the number of parking spaces . Mayor Bujalski commented she did not know the number of parking spaces downtown ; however, she knows the City has approximately 800 ,000 visiting every year. Regarding this proposal , Commissioner Gow asked if the fixed route and the on-demand are connected. He asked if the City could not do the route but do the on demand. Mr. Spiegel explained the on-demand actually would cost the City a little less than the full route . There is no extra cost to do it; the City can start either way . Their recommendation would be to go with the fully on demand ; however , he is aware there are some people in the community who want to see a fixed route looper. They are willing to go either way the community sees fit. Commissioner Gow clarified with Mr. Spiegel that if the City wants the on-demand , they do not have to get the fixed route , and they can talk about on-demand later ; it can be an option of one or the other. Public Input Mayor Bujalski opened the public hearing for public input. Hearing no comments , the public hearing was closed. MOTION: Motion was made by Vice Mayor Tornga and seconded by Commissioner Walker to award Bid #23-1217 for the implementation of a downtown looper/mobility service to FreeBee LLC in the amount of $127 ,830 . 23-8

Regular Meeting Notes March 23, 2023 Commission Comments Vice Mayor Tornga commented: Dunedin City Commission He is trying to be open to the fact that some people want to have the looper; he is an on-demand person. He thinks this will be good in both cases in whichever way the Commission wishes to go. He is in favor of just the on-demand or just the looper, or looper and on-demand , or start up the looper and go into the on demand. He knows the FreeBee organization has the capability of understanding all this and following all this closely as well as City staff. He thinks the City will be able to adapt as it goes along. The on-demand piece he was excited about is for people who live in Dunedin to leave their cars home and come where they want in Dunedin. He thinks it will be protected for the City from the standpoint of individuals driving themselves ; there are people who cannot drive themselves and he is really trying to be understanding of them. He thinks it will be great for those who are dining out or other things and are not able to drive very well. He thinks it is a great service within the community. Dunedin is not the first to do this , but it is a golf cart city and he would like for this to be part of that whole electric-vehicle concept. He did not think there was a negative part to the program and there will be value in trying it. He is excited about moving forward with it. Commissioner Walker noted he reviewed the three proposals and the FreeBee proposal was very well-written. Through the discussion , he did sort of warm up to the timeline because at the end of the 6-month period happening closer to the holidays , subsequently there would be the opportunity to work out any issues during the course of the pilot project. He agreed with Vice Mayor Tornga that this is a much-needed service in Dunedin . Commissioner Freaney commented she thought it to be pretty exciting. There are pieces that can be sorted out about the timing and so forth . She is not sure about the best time to pilot the looper itself; she does see the on-demand for more flexibility. It is a first step to something that could solve some key issues for the City , i.e. parking and being more multimodal-oriented . She would be curious to visit one of the communities where FreeBee is already well-established . Commissioner Gow commented : He also liked the proposal and from what he could see , it is a great company ; as the Vice Mayor mentioned, the app really is impressive. The concerns he has are regarding Dunedin being designated a Walkable City and now talking about implementing a project that takes that away . The health benefits of walking are numerous , and he named several. He does not see where this will impact parking anywhere downtown at all; there will still be those who can get a ride if they park on the perimeter , but those same people are still going to try to park in front of their destination , so there will still be the traffic downtown. Unless there is data to prove him wrong, he does not see where that is going to be a benefit. If walking in downtown Dunedin is from point A to point B, and in between are merchants with an oppo rtunity to interact , you are bypassing all that once you get in the loo per , so he does have concern about the economic impact of the merchants. He is a big believer in the on-demand which he thinks gives the residents the most , and the sustainability impact by leaving their cars at home and walk in g around downtown. He has concerns over the health of the community by incorporating things like a looper. If this is having to take the looper to get to the on-demand he did not know he could do that , but if there is a 23-9

Regular Meeting Notes March 23, 2023 Dunedin City Commission willingness to talk about the on-demand and pilot programs with on-demand and what that does in communities where FreeBee might have contracts , he would like to see that data. If it is just the looper concept , he could not vote that way as it is a sustainability issue and economic issue and not solving the problem as he sees it. A way needs to be found to keep cars at home. The solutions are always for vehicles first and then there is a focus on other modes; there is never enough for modes. Staying car-centric is not solving anything. There is no doubt there will be ridership; however, he thought the attendance at downtown events tells that people are willing to walk. For those who are challenged in driving and so forth , it is one more reason why the on-demand works so much better at getting to people of all ages and health situations , and it really benefits the community. Mayor Bujalski commented : She recalled it was she and former Commissioner Kynes who brought this forward three or four years ago in the strategic planning to add this project to the to-do list. The reason was twofold ; if you are parked in an area and want to go to another , it gets you around . She noted not everyone can walk everywhere they are going , so you don 't want to penalize those people . Also , the City has several key hotels and people might come without a car if they know they can get around town ; they don 't know where they are going . She does think it is a valuable service. She is aware staff will talk about what the routes should be . She though t the first priority should be all the parking lots so people feel free to park wherever they need , knowing they do not have to follow that normal parking right in front or circle until they get a space right in front, which is the issue trying to be alleviated. People staying in the hotels don 't know where things are in all of the downtown. It is a pilot , and when the pilot was done for the Jolley Trolley it was only on Fr iday , Saturday , and Sunday because that was the busy time and you get the most people ; it will cost less but tells everything needed. The City has on-demand service , Local Tiki Rides , that goes anywhere in the City of Duned in and they cannot stay full ; the City is not paying for it and it is not getting used. If the City wants to see them used more , perhaps the City should try to partner and advertise on the City 's Facebook page ; she is not sure that is allowed , but the City does have an on-demand service it is not paying for . She thought it could start small ; she would prefer to have started in January or start in September , but she understands working out any issues is better when the re are less people ; she will be open to that and staff will figure it out. She does not think seven days a week service is necessary , especially during the pilot and not during the slowest time of the year, so she thinks there is a sav in gs there. She thinks even in the season it might be four or 5 five days a week depend ing on the data. She definitely wants to see the electric vehicles. She thinks they could have a run up and down Main Street and Douglas Avenue , a 10-minute turnaround , or something to that effect. When she inquired if the looper would be able to stop and pick them up if someone flags them down , Mr. Spiegel advised that would be a Commission policy decision. She noted that was part of the dea l with the Jolley Trolley. Her thinking is that for the best service , the focus should be on the highest usage days and quickest turnaround to get more users . She is supportive of the pilot program. 23-10

Regular Meeting Notes March 23, 2023 Dunedin City Commission She clarified with Mr . Spiegel regarding tips that their drivers are paid livable wages and are not allowed to solicit tips ; however , they can accept tips for exceptional service . Regarding transportation , there is Local Tiki Rides and there is transit for the disadvantaged going on in the City ; there is the on demand from PSTA in the City. If more usage is needed , then those services need to be utilized more. She questioned if this looper moves forward , why should the City have the on-demand for more cost when there are two organizations already doing that? Why not help them be more successful in their endeavors and more viable in the community versus the taxpayers paying for it? Commissioner Gow and Mayor Bujalski discussed the current on-demand serv ice through PSTA and he advised a study is being done by PSTA regarding their services going forward . Mayor Bujalski noted she was not say ing she would never cons ider the City having the on - demand ; however , what is already available should be exhausted first rather than just moving forward with a third on-demand that is pa id by taxpayers when there is already a private organization with the service and a public entity that taxpayers are funding. Having all three with two being tax-funded and asking how it is helping everyone makes no sense for her . When Commissioner Freaney inquired about FreeBee on-demand not going down major roadways , Mr. Spiegel explained they have different vehicles depending on the geofence ; if it is just within the downtown , they would recommend the low-speed golf cart style and they also use Tesla vehicles for that on-demand serv ice . Mayor Bujalski stated she is support ive of the pilot project , suggesting discussion of the minimal Friday , Saturday , and Sunday route and maybe adding more vehicles if that would make the looper quicker. She did not think that seven days or even five days a week is needed during the off-season. She also suggested City staff explore how to get Tiki Rides out there more , noting that the City does have an agreement with them for using City streets for their business. In addition , they could talk with PSTA about their on-demand services which is not as much about bringing people into the downtown , but perhaps it can be that. VOTE: Motion carried 4-1 . Voting nay , Commissioner Gow. 2.b. FY23 IT Equipment and Software Purchases in the amount of $1,244,634.79 Staff Presentation I.T . Services Director Nagy advised : From the year 2000 to the present the City has had ten people serve in the role of I.T. Director , I.T. Manager , or Acting I.T. Manager. On March 30 , 2023 , he will celebrate his 7u, year as I.T. Director , the longest -serving I.T. Director. He thereafter referred to the PowerPoint presentation attached to the staffing memo providing the following information . Tonight , he would be re porting on following items for the Commission 's review and approval : Transfer the City 's ERP system from a local on-premise hosted system to Tyler Technologies cloud-based environment. Purchase of Microsoft Office 365 software Pu rchase of SentinelOne Anti-V irus protection program Purchase of a Redundant Network Storage Equipment device Purchase of the annual Cyclical Replacement of Network Equipment After the cyberattack on the City in October 2022 , the recove ry process taught many lessons as far as what automated technology the City should invest so that the needs of the public are served with as little disruption as possible and the employees have little to no down time . The 23-11

Regular Meeting Notes March 23, 2023 Dunedin City Commission public and employees have an expectation of access to fast and reliable service that is available 24 hours a day. Some of the lesso ns learned were the need for vast data storage devices that provide redundancy to critical systems ; use of a multi-factor authentication program for remote and local users to ensure they are authorized City employees trying to gain access to the network ; implementing the advised cybersecurity monitoring systems to help stop intruders or detect anomalies on the network before they happen; upgrade to more advanced ant-virus protection system ; move mission critical programs such as the ERP and email systems to a cloud-based environment ; and update network equipment and desktop computer systems. The Tyler ERP system is considered the City 's mission-critical technology system. The system currently includes all financial systems , human resources , payroll , general revenues , employee time , and attendance. In 2023 , the ERP system will also include services that provide permits , code enforcement , inspections , work orders, utility billing , fleet management , and facilities management as well as a citizen self-service portal. The City currently hosts all lines of servers and databases for each of those programs on-premise ; the hardware and software must be purchased and maintained by the City 's local I.T. staff. Although the Tyler ERP system was down for just three weeks after the cyberattack , they needed a little longer for the payroll processing application ; it caused a disruption in the services the City provides to the public. By moving the on-p rem ise ERP system to Tyler 's cloud-based service , the City and public can benefit tremendously . The cloud-based system has many advantages that include: Triple redundancy in Tyler 's three governmental secure sto rage sites . The City will never need to purchase or upgrade the ERP servers as Tyler provides unlimited storage space. Cloud-based clients would receive the latest software versions before any other client and will always be on the newest version. Even if the City 's network is down , employees and citizens can still access all ERP records from any internet browser. The only disadvantage is the City would have to rely on Tyler Technologies to maintain the redundant sites 24 hours a day so that their databases can be accessed. Since their cloud systems are housing several key governmental sites around the country where many major banking and industrial organizations and key U.S. governmental entities house some data, the City would be in a site that is basically failsafe . If a connection at one site fails , then the City is switched over to another. Because of those entities and those governmental sites , they have the highest level of priority for broadband and power . Tyler ERP Redundancy & Cloud Support: ANNUAL COST COMPARISON CITY HOSTED Annual Support .................. $ 186 ,633 Replacement Servers ... ....... $ 42 ,000 Personnel Mtc Resources .. ..

By moving to the cloud service , the annual 23-12

Regular Meeting Notes March 23, 2023 Dunedin City Commission licensing fee support costs would increase to $254 ,000 per year ; the City would be able to save about $2 ,500 a year overall by switch ing . Since Tyler Technologies requires a 3-year up front contract to host their system , this table compares the City 's on-site ERP hosting cost to Tyler cloud service over a 3- year period: Tyler ERP Redundancy & Cloud Support: 3-YEAR COST COMPARISON CITY TYLER CLOUD COST HOSTED HOSTING DIFFERENCE Annual Support .. .......... ..... . $559,899 $762,666 $ 202 ,767 Replacement Servers ...... .... $126,000 $ 0 $ (126 ,000) Personne l Mic Resources. ... S 93,600 $ 9,360 $ (84,240) To tals ..... $ 779 ,499 $772,026 $ (7 ,473) If the City maintains local hosting , it would cost almost $800 ,000 over the 3 years; moving to Tyler would cost a little over $772 ,000 with a savings of roughly $7 ,500 over 3 years. Due to the timeframe requirement for implementing the Tyler ERP cloud service , the City would contract for a 3.25-yea r agreement , not a 3-year agreement. In FY23 , the City would only pay for 3 months of support beginning July 2023. Fund ing for the remaining years on the contract would be split over FY24 , FY25 , and FY26 and budgeted within those fiscal years.

The $42,843 would come from $75,000 already budgeted in the FY23 I.T. Services Fund for ERP server replacements . Switching to Tyler service now , the City will not be required to purchase new ERP servers this year; therefo re, the $42 ,843 from that Capital account can be transferred into the Software Services account. If approved , the $42 ,843 transfer wo uld be reflected in a future budget amendment request to be brought before the Commission at a later date . In Summary : COSTS : • Less than or equal to existing annual support costs • No inc rease in funding for FY23 • FY23 funding available in IT Services account number (557-1507-513-053407-GG) MAJOR ADVANTAGES : • Data Redundancy Sites • Frees up IT staff resources to focus on cybersecurity protection • Never needing to purchase new servers 23-13

Regular Meeting Notes March 23, 2023 • No downtime for replacing or upgrading servers Dunedin City Commission Staff recommends the City award the ERP contract to Tyler Technologies in the amount of $838,932.50. Questions for Staff Commissioner Freaney inquired if this will make the City more dependent on Tyler in a way; for example , if the City decided to break from Tyler , what happens? Mr. Nagy commented he could not imag ine that happening; this is the biggest invest ment in terms of software the City has ever incurred since the 1990s. He does not see moving to another system , considering the implementation , the software , and personnel costs, as a likely possibility. He would say the City would be in it for the long haul with this for the next 20 to 30 years. Commissioner Freaney asked what percentage has been done with the modules successfully. Mr. Nagy explained : Those were put on hold due to the cyberattack ; they were implemen ting EnerGov and were ready to go live in January 2023 , but the cyberattack put it behind and then moving to the new City Hall delayed the launch further. He will be on a call next week with Tyler Technologies to discuss fast tracking EnerGov . They are ready to restart all the modules for EnerGov , including Work Orders and Utility Billing. If EnerGov can be fast tracked , he would like to see someone on-site for two months straight. He has talked with Community Development and the City Manager and if they are willing to bring their person on staff , they will make a commitment to get it done ; otherwise , if they cannot do that , the implementation was typically 3 days once or twice a month which would prolong it. If the City could get them here, then EnerGov could be live in the next few months. The Work Orders and Utility Billing will take a little longer because of losing a valuable resource on the Utility Billing side who was with the implementation since day one ; there have been new staff, so there will have to be a restart because there has not been much involvement in that for a while. The Work Order system was making some headway; however, they changed course with Public Works and the Util ity Department with losing a Director and getting a new Director on board , so that will take probably 6 months. He does not consider that as big an issue as the EnerGov to get the on line permitting live as soon as possib le ; it would be a big commitment. He will know more tomorrow if Tyler can have the resources to do that for the City. His goal for all the modules is to be complete before the end of the calendar year. It is a very complex system that is being built and involves a lot of commitment from a lot of staff from various departments. Mayor Bujalski noted the issues Mr. Nagy just spoke to would be addressed in a future workshop. City Manager Bramley explained the citizen user-friendly issues are embedded in EnerGov and going live is the priority. That is why she thinks it is really important to get someone from Tyler on-site to train when staff is ava ilable and answer questions in real time . Vice Mayor Tornga commented he has never heard of a smooth implementation and that is the reason for hiring people who really know the program to help . As he sees it , this discussion is really about going to the cloud and that has to be done . The number looks big ; however, it is not just in one year. He asked then if this will resolve the previous problem . Mr. Nagy explained in the event the network is down and the City does not have connection internally , wherever employees are with internet , they can still log into their secure sites on the Tyler system and continue business. 23-14

Regular Meeting Notes March 23, 2023 Dunedin City Commission Commissioner Gow agreed with the need to go to the cloud. He asked if there were any other vendors the City could use their services; was there a reason why Tyler is being selected above others? Mr. Nagy advised: When the City started the process in 2016 and eventually went out to bid , he recalled there were five vendors bid. All department heads , functional leads , and staff members revi ewed the bids and decided there were three top vendors to bring in for demonstrations. They scheduled a meeting in January 2018 for all vendors to have a day and a half-day session to demonstrate their product to all of staff, i.e. the end users got to see and how each module works for their department. There were voting sheets tallied and 99% of the outcome was for Tyler due to what the system could do. Other cities are already using it and they are the largest municipality software system in the country; major cities like Los Angeles and New York switched and probably pay $50 Million to $100 Million a year for their service. Many of Dunedin 's sister cities are making a shift to go to Tyler. There was collaboration and they invited everyone in each department to weigh in on this decision. Commissioner Gow inquired if this would solve the problem of cyberattacks or if that will always be a risk. Mr. Nagy explained that according to the Pinellas County Sheriff's Digital Forensic Unit , who worked with the City on the recovery as well as Surefire Cyber, the cybersecurity team that worked with the City all said the same. No one could ever prevent it , not even the U.S. Government; however , things can be put in place to monitor and know when something is going to happen and stop it. Someone is always going to create something better that will be able to infiltrate the system. The City can put things in place that are tried and true , and hopefully they will move on to the next person because of having those things in place. Mr. Nagy explained: By going with the cloud, if there is a power outage in City Hall or in any of the data centers , the public can still do online payments , permit requests , access their portals , and staff could work from home . It provides that benefit as opposed to hosting on-site , and if the data center goes down , then no one has access. That is sort of what happened. Tyler has never had an issue with the cloud service they host for any other municipality. They did suffer their own attack internally on their system several years ago, but it had nothing to do with the cloud system. He is very confident in moving to the cloud service and that it is in the best interest of the City . Microsoft Office 365-ACCESSIBILITY & ADVANTAGES After the cyberattack , staff learned the City 's current Outlook Email that is hosted locally on the City 's exchange server was encrypted by the hackers. Although no email was lost or taken , they successfully restored all of it from the backup archive device within 3 weeks after the attack. Unfortunately , the archive device does not save email contacts and calendars ; those items could not be restored. Also , they learned that having access to key business documents was not readily available until they were able to restore all Windows based network servers and computers . Those business documents include Word documents , Excel spreadsheets , PowerPoint presentations, PDFs , etc. 23-15

Regular Meeting Notes March 23, 2023 Dunedin City Commission By purchasing the Microsoft Office 365 system , those worries could be gone should another event happen . City email , Word documents , Excel spreadsheets , and PowerPoint presentations could be accessed from anywhere as long as there is an internet connection. Staff would have better tools to share files and collaborate ; it would also standardize the City on one virtual meeting platfo rm using Microsoft Teams. If work cannot be done in the office , the office could be in the clou d. Microsoft Office 365 - FUNDING • Annual Recurring Cos t: $91 ,808 • Ve ndor: GovDirect • Funding Source: • FY23 IT Services ARPA Cybersecurity fund • Requires a budget amendment to transfer from the ARPA Broadband fund into the ARPA Cybersecurity fund If Microsoft Office is not pu rchased this year , the Email Excha nge Server will need to be replaced at a cost of approximately $50 ,000. If approved , they could start the migration and process to get the City on Office 365 . Sen tinelOne Anti-Virus Protection - PURPOSE & ADVANTAGES Also , as part of the cyberattack recovery process , the City 's cyber insurance carr iers Cyber Threat Response Team provides the City with their license of SentinelOne Anti-Virus Protection software. Although the City was using another well-established anti -virus protection system for years , all the computers citywide were reimaged with that SentinelOne Anti-Virus Protection after the cyber attac k. Purpose : • Installed on all City-owned Windows devices • Protects City computers & laptops from viruses • Re views all data , web pages, files , software , and applications before allowing the user to open up a document , access an internet site , or open a link on an internet site. Advantages : • Enhanced protection through machine learning - it learns patterns and adjusts accordingly • Provides 24/7 computer protection , detect ion , and recovery • Bu ilt-in robust intrusion prevention system • Data recovery that protects our files in the event of a ransomware attack SentinelOne Anti-Virus Protection - FUNDING Three bids were submitte d, CDW-G was the lowest bidder . • Annual Subscription Cost: $37,461.00 • Vendor : CDW-G • Funding Source : • Funding available in the ARPA Broadband Internet fund ac count 001-1507-513-05640 1. • Transfer funds into the ARPA Cybersecurity fund account 001 -1507 -513-05 340 7. • Req uires a budge t am endment that will be brought before Commission at a later date. Redundant Network Data Storage - PURPOSE & ADVANTAGES The City only has one data storage device that houses millions of documents created and saved by City employees. It wa s purchased in November 2022 as pa rt of the recovery process following 23 - 16

Regular Meeting Notes March 23, 2023 Dunedin City Commission the October attack. The device is currently located in the 1.T. data center in the Public Services building . This purchase will give the City two additional network storage devices , creating the City 's own cloud. A data storage would be in the new City Hall , Emergency Operations Center , and Public Services on the City 's own fiber , and it would be secure. Purpose: • Places our City data inside a "cloud " environment • Data Center at City Hall • Data Center at Public Services • Data Center at EOC • Synchronizes user data between Storage Devices A, B & C • Prevent service outages by fail-over to next device. Advantages : • Helps protect data . When data cannot be accessed , redundant data can help replace or rebuild missing data. • Data accuracy. Hosting multiple locations for the same data means that a data management system can evaluate any differences, meaning data is assured to be accurate. • Access speed . Some locations for data may be easier to access than others for an organization that spans different physical areas. Redundant Network Data Storage - FUNDING • Cost: $80 ,023.49 • Vendor: SHI International , Inc . • Funding Source: • $70 ,000 .00 available in the FY23 EOC Server/Storage Equipment fund . • $10 ,023.49 available in the FY23 ERP Server fund. FY23 Network and Computer Equipment Replacements - PLANNING Purpose : • Keep current on technologies • Replace equipment older than five years Advantages : • Provides 5 year accidental warranties on computer and laptops • More reliable systems and faster processing abilities • FY23 Budgeted Amounts : $ 70 ,000 (Network Equipment) $125 ,800 (Computers , Laptops and iPads) $195 ,800 Total for FY23 FY23 Network and Computer Equipment Replacements - FUNDING Vendor quotes came in higher than the budgeted amount that was based on April 2022 prices. Since then , technology prices have increased significantly. The additional approximately $12 ,000 over budget would come from that same source of the ERP Server Replacement ; therefore , no additional funding is needed because it is all in the I.T .

Commission Questions/Comments Commissioner Freaney asked , along with other improvements , does this cover things Mr. Nagy or other experts have recommended to protect the City from cyberattacks to the best of the City 's ability? Mr . Nagy explained this does not take care of all of it. There will also need to be more advanced cybersecurity training for I.T. staff and end users , some of which staff has already been doing online ; that needs to
