Proposal for City Attorney Services City of Treasure Island, Florida Page 4 Section C October 16, 2025 City Commission, City of Treasure Island 10451 Gulf Blvd. Treasure Island, FL 33706 Attn: Charles Van Zant, City Manager Re: Proposal for City Attorney Services for the City of Treasure Island, Florida Dear Mayor Doctor, Vice-Mayor Vasquez, Commissioner Clark, Commissioner Czyszczon, and Commissioner Dickey: It is with pleasure that Vose Law Firm LLP submits this proposal to provide City Attorney Services for the City of Treasure Island, Florida. Because of our vast experience representing local governments as City Attorney, Town Attorney, Village Attorney or County Attorney, we have a thorough understanding of the work to be accomplished when holding the position of City Attorney for Treasure Island. The Vose Law Firm is a statewide local government law firm with offices in St. Petersburg, Winter Park, Fort Myers, and Cocoa Beach. We have particular expertise in representing coastal municipalities, and our attorneys currently provide city/town attorney services for St. Pete Beach, Cocoa Beach, Fort Myers Beach, Daytona Beach Shores, Anna Maria, Neptune Beach, and South Daytona. We are also currently the city/town/village attorney for the inland local governments of Brooksville, Rockledge, Bunnell, Indiantown (Florida’s newest municipality), Oviedo, Orange City, and Oakland. We also provide significant legal services to Monroe County (the “Florida Keys”), Pinellas County, and Orange County. We propose that Vose Law Firm LLP would be named the City Attorney of Treasure Island, with Ralf Brookes, Wade Vose, Becky Vose, and Nancy Stuparich, as the lead attorneys for Treasure Island. These lead attorneys are the most experienced of all the attorneys of our firm and they each have extensive experience representing coastal communities. These lead attorneys collectively have over 130 years of experience representing local governments. These four attorneys have held the position and served as City Attorney, Town Attorney, Village Attorney, County Attorney, and General Counsel for well over thirty (30) different Florida local governments. Our firm is rated AV Preeminent by Martindale-Hubbell, and our firm has been listed in the Bar Register 14

Proposal for City Attorney Services City of Treasure Island, Florida Page 5 of Preeminent Lawyers. Our firm’s other expert local government attorneys would also always be available to provide legal services as needed for the City of Treasure Island. I. Expertise representing coastal municipalities The attorneys of our firm have extensive expertise in the representation of coastal municipalities due to our history of providing city attorney services to eleven (11) “coastal cities” – St. Pete Beach, Naples, Anna Maria, Fort Myers Beach, Cocoa Beach, Daytona Beach Shores, South Daytona, Neptune Beach, Bradenton Beach, Madeira Beach, and Yankeetown. Representing coastal communities takes particular expertise – We have it! Due to our vast experience representing municipalities throughout the state, we recognize that representing coastal communities is “different” from representing truly inland communities. We represent both – but our first love is for our coastal communities. The expertise needed to properly represent a coastal municipality is different from, and much broader than that necessary to represent an inland community. A truly excellent municipal attorney representing a coastal community must understand the “different” issues that arise in such areas. Examples of our experience representing our coastal cities follow: Experience representing cities with a focus on economic development, particularly in the downtown area! In 2017, when the Vose Law Firm took over as City Attorney for Cocoa Beach, a city of similar size, location and demographics as Treasure Island, the downtown area was essentially “dead”. The downtown was mostly empty storefronts with a smattering of t-shirt shops and random storefront businesses like a plumbing supply company and an electrical contractor. Downtown was also the location of some municipal buildings that were in terrible condition after Hurricane Irma. Outside the immediate downtown area, there were numerous hotels in terrible condition, with some being the location of criminal and drug activity. Our firm assisted that city through two major comprehensive plan and land development code revisions that allowed the city a path forward to a thriving downtown and renewed development of new hotels and commercial enterprises. In addition, there was a desire by the residents of Cocoa Beach to limit the height of buildings in the city and that was implemented in the comprehensive plan and land development code. Recently the City of Cocoa Beach had its ri
