Chirag Patel at 35831 Diamond Head Court, Zephyrhills said he was present a few months back and discussed a few things. Patel's group is under contract for under two acres of land in Dade City. They aim to build 24 affordable individual units, specifically for the housing choice voucher program. Since the last time he was in the Commission Chambers, he had 15 investors and now has about 40 investors. His group might be the first to bring 3D printing to this side of Pasco County, which will increase speed in getting properties done, and a better-quality product. He is working on 3D printing to get properties done. He would like to work with the City. Carolyn Parrish at 14406 12th Street asked if emails sent could be acknowledged when they have been received. Parrish asked why the splash pad was going down for extended periods and if the equipment repair was included in the price. Parrish also asked if the new City HR Director be invited to a meeting and give updates on the staffing status. Commissioner Shive said he walks by the splash pad every morning and it is up and running all the time. He has seen the splash pad working morning, noon, and night and asked when the splash pad should be turned off. Porter responded the splash pad went down 1-1 1/2 hours before the meeting today and Interim Public Works Director Sweat would give them an update. E. CONSENT AGENDA E.1.

Resolution 2024-17 - Tentative Levying of Ad Valorem Taxes The resolution was read in its entirety by City Clerk Guy and presented by City Manager Porter. Moved by Commissioner Cosentino, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Woodard approved at 6:19 PM. FOR: Black, Woodard, Church, Cosentino, and Shive AGAINST: None CARRIED. G.2. Resolution 2024-18 The resolution was read in its entirety by City Clerk Guy and presented by City Manager Porter. This is the first of two public hearings, staff recommended adoption and approval of Resolution 2024-18. Commissioner Shive said his request was to give a 4% COLA (cost of living adjustment) and a 2.5% merit. Shive explained they would not be changing the amount of the raises, just changing the amount of COLA, given the rate of inflation. As far as retention, they have a hard time keeping employees, the merit would be for the employees who exceeded standards. Porter said she spoke with the City Manager in Zephyrhills and discovered they are budgeting for a 7% COLA: 4% now and 3% mid-year. Commissioner Cosentino said the way they set it up does award them. The employees who are staying late and doing other things outside their job description are going to get the 3% merit raise. Cosentino didn't see the benefit in changing. Mayor Pro-Tem Woodard wished this discussion had come up when they were doing the budget. She felt like they were doing what they needed to be doing and shouldn't compare to other cities including Zephyrhills. Shive said they are not putting out more money, the employees came to him to suggest it. Cosentino said the employees did not come to her asking for that. She feels confident they are awarding the elite employees who are doing the hard work. Cosentino also knows what the job market is like. She feels strongly they set a system up that awards them with the highest pay for the job they are doing above and beyond. Woodard said the CRA Director's salary is $75- $80k a year. She feels they have done a great job bringing the salaries online and making them competitive along with the benefits. Commissioner Church said she wished the conversation happened several weeks ago. After hearing Zephyrhills' COLA at 7%, Church questioned if she was a City worker, would it be worth the extra 10 minutes driving to Zephyrhills. She thinks this is a conversation to have next year. Woodard would like to know if it was possible next year to have an open conversation with the employees, without supervisors and Department Heads. Attorney Brackins said they could have a workshop with employees, but it would be a public meeting under the Sunshine Law. Minutes would be kept, and the meeting would be recorded. Brackins said they could work with HR or do surveys. Moved by Commissioner Shive, seconded by Commissioner Cosentino approved at 6:38 PM. FOR: Black, Woodard, Church, Cosentino, and Shive AGAINST: None CARRIED. G.3.

PUBLIC HEARING - INTRODUCTION & FIRST READING OF PROPOSED ORDINANCES None. I. PUBLIC HEARING - ADOPTION & SECOND READING OF PROPOSED ORDINANCES None. J. UNFINISHED BUSINESS J.1. Vacancy on Fire Pension Board Item was continued to the next meeting. K. NEW BUSINESS None. L. CITY ADMINISTRATION ITEMS (IF ANY) L.1. City Manager Porter reminded everyone of the joint workshop tomorrow. The time has been moved to 9:30 AM, at the new extension office at the Pasco County Fairgrounds. Access East Pasco will be on Tuesday, September 24. L.2. City Clerk Guy forwarded the email about the elementary school visit. They discussed the week of October 21st or the following week. Guy asked the Commission to provide their availability to her. L.3. Finance Officer Altman shared each Commissioner was provided a hard copy of the proposed budget. L.4. City Attorney Brackins shared he did not have the travel policy ready for the Commission as of now. Brackins explained the credit cards for each Commissioner would be maintained by the City and the Commissioners would check theirs out before conferences and sign it back in after. The per diem meal policy, using the GSA's rates, currently applies to all employees. Guy explained the GSA rate is based on the zip code the traveler travels to, and it is not one exact amount. Brackins said if the Commission wanted it to be a flat rate, they would need to uncouple the policy from the GSA. If the Commission wanted to amend the per diem, he would need to know what they would like the new rates to be. Brackins shared the latest draft of the City Manager separation agreement proposal has been forwarded to Porter's council. The hope is that it will be on the next agenda. L.5. Police Chief Chief Walters shared that the Dedication of the Fallen Officer's Memorial will be Wednesday at 10 AM, at the Historic Courthouse. Walters reminded everyone to lock their doors. L.6. Interim Community & Economic Development Director Nothing. L.7. Interim Public Works Director Sweat shared that today around 2 PM, he received a phone call about the splash pad having problems from the Pool Operator. The contractor is coming back out tomorrow to look at it, it was shut down due to a possible water leak. L.8. Utilities Director Nothing. M. COMMISSIONER ITEMS M.1. Cosentino shared vanErven has been key in turning the Youth Council into a great program. They currently have 16 members. They plan on taking nine Youth Council members to the Florida League of Cities Conference this year. vanErven has gotten several sponsors for that. On October 5th, they will have the Market Place Event at Spoke Park. Cosentino thanked vanErven again for all her hard work. Woodard shared yesterday at Mt Zion AME Church; the parking lot flooded less than 10 minutes after the rain on 10th Street. Woodard shared pictures of a car that had to be towed. Woodard said the water was pooling in that area in less than 5 minutes. Woodard addressed the email comment made previously during Public Comments. Any moment someone puts her name or any Commissioner's name in an email, she will not respond. The splash pad was on last night, but no one was on it. Woodard asked for an update on the Veteran's Day Parade that was discussed previously. Woodard strongly believes the City should honor its Veterans. Pasco High School's senior class would like to bring back the homecoming parade. She feels that the Commission needs to support that. Woodard was in a service and Habitat Humanity shared they were having problems with permits. She would like the issue addressed. The family of Michael Penix Jr., who now plays in the NFL for the Atlanta Falcons, would like 5th Street renamed, or his name added for his great achievements. Woodard said she doesn't want a City credit card in her name due to the elector's terms. She thinks the cards should be in the City's name. Woodard asked for updates on the storage yard. Sweat said he could get the information tomorrow; the time frame was six to eight weeks. Woodard asked for timing on the contract. Brackins said he believed it was 180 days. Brackins later clarified the term was 300 days. Church was in support of the homecoming parade for the high school. Shive said safety was number one, they need to get a report and talk with Chief Walters. Porter said they are trying to work with them to find a route. The concern is they want to have the parade, during the week, during rush hour, on 7th Street. The issue was that 7th Street is the main street right now due to construction. They are trying to see if there is a better route or if they close 7th Street, what would they do with all the traffic that backs up now. Black said for the parade, they are looking at Thursday, October 17, at 6 PM. The route will start at MLK and go to Church Ave. After that, they would be circling to Beef 'O' Brady's for a pep rally. Church said she received a few emails. One was about the calendar on the City website. Church pointed out there were changes on the home page calendar, which she appreciated. Church is getting questions about advertising the City Manager job. Brackins said they could advertise, ideally they would advertise after they have an agreement in place. N. PUBLIC COMMENTS (FOR ITEMS NOT ALREADY DISCUSSED) N.1. Brian Swann at 36900 Center Ave. said the format of the budget is nice but he does not have access to drill down on information. Carolyn Parrish at 14406 12th Street asked for Street Bash updates. Parrish also asked when Brackins and Porter's attorney begin to negotiate, has it been determined the City could just cut her loose. Parrish also shared rumors of someone sleeping on the job. Debra Johnson at 12033 Frontage Road shared she appreciated the Commission's hard work. Johnson saw the Facebook video showing the flooding with the dirty water from Wells Fargo and Kafe Kokopelli. Johnson asked if negotiations with the City Manager go past October 1st, would pay increases go into effect. Attorney Brackins said if Porter is still employed on October 1st, then she will receive a pay increase. O. NOTED ITEMS O.1. Florida Department of Corrections and Dade City Police Dept. O.2.
