Stated that Commissioner Trice requested a status report on House Bill 1365 Unauthorized Public Camping and Public Sleeping, and Senate Bill 1226 regarding the Business Impact Estimates and expansion; that this will be addressed under Remarks of Commissioners, Announcements, and Items for Next Agenda and Other Matters/Administrative Officers at one of the November 2024, Regular Sarasota City Commission Meetings. 2:05:16 P.M. C. Stated that in regard to the sale of the parcel adjacent to the Humane Society, upon receipt of the title, there is no drainage easement formally found, therefore the Economic Development Manager has contacted the County to determine if a drainage easement is desired. 2:05:48 P.M. D. Stated that a letter was received from Attorney Morgan Bentley on behalf of the Bay Plaza Owners Association, an appeal from the approval of the administrative Site Plan for 1260 North Palm Avenue which is Quasi-Judicial now, and whether the opponents of the proposed development still plan on coming before the Commission is unknown; that the desire is not to discourage anyone from speaking under Citizens' Input; however, since this gets slightly delicate, the belief is the Commission hearing the comments is not a good idea since the comments should now be confined to a duly noticed Public Hearing; that the belief is the opponents should know those remarks are not part of the formal record and must be made at an advertised Public Hearing held for that specific purpose. 2:07:47 P.M. DEPUTY CITY MANAGER ROBINSON: A. Remarks received and provided a brief update regarding Hurricanes Helene and Milton. B. Thanked the Commission for the investment both in police officer safety and their commitment to professionalism and provided a brief update of the impact of Body-Worn Cameras on Sarasota Police Department formal and informal investigations.

This Agenda includes all matters scheduled to come before the Commission at this meeting. It is prepared to help you follow the proceedings of the meeting. Your interest is appreciated, and we invite your comments. Input from citizens is important; we need and welcome it. If you wish to address the Commission, please fill out a "Request To Speak" Form located on the table at the back of the Commission Chambers. Fill out the form completely, indicating the Agenda Item to which you intend to speak, and place the form in the box on the table. If you intend to speak under Citizens’ Input Concerning City Topics, the subject should also be noted on the "Request To Speak" Form. Agenda Items for which citizens' comments are not permitted are noted. In general, these will be items on which a public hearing has previously been held. Listed below are the time limits established for speaking: Public Hearings - Quasi-judicial: A reasonable amount of time to be determined by the City Commission will be provided to Applicants and Affected Persons desiring to speak. Public Hearings - Legislative: Citizens desiring to speak are allowed five (5) minutes.

We will ask you to take an oath that all evidence and testimony presented during the public hearing are truthful. Citizens’ Input Concerning City Topics - Citizens desiring to speak are allowed three (3) minutes. Remember, appearances before the Commission are not a substitute for attempting to resolve your issue(s) through the appropriate administrative channels. Citizens’ Input is to allow citizens the opportunity to present their view on matters concerning City topics but not on items scheduled elsewhere on the Agenda. Questions and answers shall not be permitted. Matters presented to the Commission may be referred by the Mayor, with consensus of the Commission, to the Administration for action and possible follow-up at a future Commission meeting.
