Barry L. Donaldson Founder and Architect ( FL 9877), Donaldson Group Architects PA HIGHLAND BEACH RESIDENT SINCE FEBRUARY 2001 BACKGROUND and EDUCATION: Barry is a 1973 graduate of the five- year Bachelor of Architecture program at the University of Kentucky. Following graduation, he worked for a non- profit agency in Lexington, Kentucky on low- income tenant housing issues. He was then retained to assist the first Commissioner for Parks, Housing and Community Development in the newly formed Lexington Fayette Urban County Government to establish Section 8 housing programs and assist displaced residents during construction of a large- scale civic project. Mr. Donaldson then pursued his architectural career with Omni Architects where he rose to the position of Senior Associate as the firm grew from three to over thirty employees. It was during that tenure that he became involved in hotel and resort design. He left the firm after six years to become the managing architect in Florida for Arcop Architects. As a principal of the firm, he led design teams for major hotel and performing arts center projects. Subsequently he founded his own firm, Donaldson Group Architects in 1989, with a specialty in hotel and resort design. Barry is an NCARB certified architect with projects to his credit in Kentucky, Florida, New Jersey, Indiana, North Carolina, St. Thomas and Sao Paulo, Brazil. In 2020 he earned certification from Cornell University for Hotel Real Estate Investments and Asset Management. CIVIC INVOLVEMENT NARRATIVE: In February of 2019 Barry was selected to fill a vacancy as a Commissioner for the Town of Highland Beach. Due to the timing of the vacancy, he served in that capacity for a little over one year. During that time, he worked diligently and cooperatively with other Commissioners to fill a Vice- Mayor vacancy, address a backlog of issues and ordinances, advanced a referendum for town improvements, and adopt the first purpose- based budget for the town under Town Manager Marshall Labadie. He also served on the League of Cities policy committee for Utilities, Natural Resources & Public Works. He advocated strongly for the continued water quality in Highland Beach and supported initiatives to improve infrastructure, increase storm resiliency and enhance the three- mile walkway along A1A. From these and other involvements he became more familiar with the Town Charter, ordinances, and departmental operations under our City Manager form of government.

Town of Highland Beach, Florida Proclamation Recognizing November 11, 2026, as Veterans Day and Honoring All Who Have Served and Are Serving Our Country WHEREAS, the United States of America stands as a beacon of liberty, justice, and democracy, values preserved by the unwavering dedication of the brave men and women who have served and continue to serve in our nation’s military; and WHEREAS, the freedoms we hold dear come at a tremendous cost, borne not only by those in uniform but also by their families, who have shared in the sacrifices that service demands; and WHEREAS, on this Veterans Day, we gather as a community to recognize and honor the courage, resilience, and selflessness of veterans and active-duty personnel, both past and present, whose sacrifices have safeguarded our way of life; and WHEREAS, it is fitting and proper that we, as a community, honor our local veterans, including our residents and employees who have worn the uniform, expressing our gratitude for their service and steadfast commitment to our nation; and WHEREAS, our community stands united in appreciation, recognizing that our veterans’ bravery has enabled us to live in peace and freedom, and are committed to honor their legacy through gratitude and support. NOW, THEREFORE, I, NATASHA MOORE, MAYOR of the Town of Highland Beach, Florida, on behalf of the Town Commission, do hereby proclaim November 11, 2026, as Veterans Day in our community. I encourage all citizens to recognize the service and sacrifice of our veterans and their families and to join together in honoring their dedication, courage, and contributions to our nation.

File Attachments for Item: A. Proposed Ordinance An Ordinance of the Town Commission of the Town of Highland Beach, Florida, amending Chapter 25, "Streets, Sidewalks, Bicycle/Walking Paths, and Right-of-Way," of the Town Code of Ordinances by adopting a New Section 25-26, "Regulations Governing Sidewalks and Multi-Use Pathways" to prohibit the use of motorized vehicles and devices; amending Division 5, "Supplemental Code Compliance Procedures," of Article V, "Boards and Committees," of Chapter 2, "Administration," of the Town Code of Ordinances to provide for enforcement of Section 25-26 through the issuance of code citations; amending Article I, "In General," of Chapter 16, "Motor Vehicles and Traffic," of the Town Code of Ordinances by repealing existing bicycle and walking path regulations and additional regulations superseded by state law; providing for the repeal of all ordinances in conflict; providing for severability and codification; and providing for an effective date. Page 20

TOWN OF HIGHLAND BEACH AGENDA MEMORANDUM MEETING TYPE: Town Commission Meeting MEETING DATE 11/5/2026 SUBMITTED BY: Leonard G. Rubin, Town Attorney SUBJECT: Ordinance First Reading – Ordinance Regulating Sidewalks and Multi-Use Pathways (Prohibition Against Electric Bicycles, Electric Scooters, and Other Micromobility Devices) SUMMARY: As discussed with the Town Commission last month, the attached Ordinance would ban all motorized vehicles (electric bicycles, electric scooters, and other micromobility devices) from all sidewalks and multi-use pathways within the Town, including the multi-use pathway adjacent to State Road A1A. As the Town Manager reported, the Florida Department of Transportation indicated that it had no concerns with the Town’s adoption and enforcement of such an Ordinance within its right-of-way. To that end, this office finalized and modified the draft Ordinance previously presented to the Commission. As proposed, the Ordinance adopts a new Section 25-26 of the Town Code prohibiting a person from operating or riding a motor vehicle, a motorized scooter, a micromobility device, or an electric bicycle on any sidewalk or multi-use pathway within the Town, including the multi-use pathway within the State Road A1A right-of-way. The definitions for the terms electric bicycle and motorized scooter are derived from the Florida Statutes. A motor vehicle includes any self-propelled vehicle not operated on rails or a guideway, excluding an electric bicycle, motorized scooter, or micromobility device. A micromobility device is defined as a motorized transportation device not otherwise defined as an electric bicycle or a motorized scooter. The Ordinance’s restrictions would not apply to: (1) law enforcement officers, emergency responders, public safety personnel, or other Town personnel acting within the scope of their official duties; (2) motorized wheelchairs or other mobility devices operated by persons with a disability; (3) the temporary crossing of a sidewalk or multi-use pathway while entering or exiting a driveway; and (4) any prohibited device being walked or carried, rather than operating under power. While now authorized by statute, the Town Ordinance does not impose minimum age requirements for electric bicycles, nor does it require the operator of an electric bicycle to possess a government-issued photographic identification. In order to allow for sufficient public education, the Ordinance shall not become effective until forty-five (45) days after adoption by the Commission. Page 21

The Ordinance would be enforced through the issuance of code citations pursuant to Division 5 of Chapter 2 of the Town Code. To that end, the Ordinance amends Section 2-173 of the Town Code to add a violation of Section 25-26 to the list of Class II violations. Consequently, the fine would be $50.00 for a first violation and $100.00 for repeat violations. A code enforcement officer or law enforcement officer would retain the discretion to issue a warning in lieu of a citation. Any violator may challenge the Town’s issuance of a citation before the Town’s Special Magistrate; however, if a citation is challenged and the Magistrate upholds the citation, the Magistrate has the discretion to determine the amount of the fine (no more than $500.00) and impose administrative costs. Finally, the Ordinance amends Chapter 16 of the Town Code of Ordinance to remove existing regulations governing the operation of motor vehicles which would be superseded by the new regulations or are otherwise governed by Florida Statutes (such as driving while intoxicated or possession of open containers). The deletion of Section 16-9 of the Town Code does not remove the speed limits within the Town because the Florida Department of Transportation has the exclusive authority to establish speed limits on state roadways, and the Town has the statutory authority to establish speed limits on local roadways. Additionally, speed limits are enforced through the issuance of uniform citations and not code citations. Revisions made to the Ordinance since it was originally brought before the Town Commission include:  The title has been modified to specifically reference the prohibition against motorized vehicles and devices.  The term multi-use pathway has been defined to mean a designated pathway designed and intended for shared use by pedestrians, bicyclists, and other non- motorized users.  The exceptions were modified to include “other Town personnel acting within the scope of their duties” and any temporary crossing of a sidewalk or multi-use pathway when entering or exiting a driveway. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no immediate fiscal impact ATTACHMENTS: Proposed Ordinance RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends Town Commission consideration of adoption of the attached Ordinance on first reading.

Town Commission Meeting Minutes Date: October 20, 2026 Page 3 of 8 Chapter 30, “Zoning Code," of the Town Code of Ordinances by amending Section 30-83, “Bulkheads, Seawalls, and Groins," to clarify and update the regulations applicable to all construction activities east of State Road A1A; providing for the repeal of all ordinances in conflict; providing for severability and codification; and providing for an effective date (First Reading was August 11, 2026.) Mayor Moore read the title of Ordinance No. 2026-003, a second reading/public hearing. The Town Commission had no further discussion, and Mayor Moore opened the public hearing. Ms. Jennifer Chapkin, an attorney representing the property owner of three contiguous oceanfront lots, and Albanese Builders, provided comments and inquired about the Town working with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and the town’s permit process related to this matter. Town Manager Labadie responded that FDEP's process is its own and the Town cannot direct its timing. The Town will communicate this ordinance and plans to the FDEP through its normal process. The Town is also making the changes necessary to maintain the consistency of its development pattern along the coast and west of State Road A1A. Town Attorney Rubin mentioned that the Town would never deny anything for an arbitrary reason. Hearing no further public comment, Mayor Moore closed the public hearing and called for a motion. MOTION: Goldberg/Stern - A motion was made and seconded to adopt Ordinance No. 2026-003.

Approve and authorize Town staff to purchase a Ferno Power X2 Powered Ambulance Stretcher and Loading System for the Fire Rescue Department in the amount of $58,144.80, pursuant to the League of Oregon Cities Master Price Agreement, Contract No. PS25820. MOTION: Goldberg/Stern - A motion was made and seconded to approve the Consent Agenda. The motion passed unanimously, 5 to 0. 9. UNFINISHED BUSINESS (Public Comments will be limited to three (3) minutes per speaker per item after Town Commission initial discussion.) A. Continued discussion on a Proposed Ordinance regulating Sidewalks and Multi-Use Pathways (Prohibition Against Electric Bicycles, Electric Scooters, and Other Micromobility Devices). Town Attorney Rubin mentioned that the Town Commission discussed this matter at its September 1, 2026 meeting and directed staff draft an ordinance. He has drafted the ordinance and is seeking direction to move forward. The suggested changes were made as follows: Add a new Section 25-26 of the town code prohibiting a person from operating or riding a motor vehicle, a motorized scooter, a micromobility device, or an electric bicycle on any sidewalk or multi-use withing the town, including the multi- use pathway withing the State Road A1A right-of-way. Speed provision. Deleted an old provision on speed on A1A and within the Town. Speed is enforced through uniform traffic citations, not the Town Code. The State controls A1A, and the Town already has statutory authority over speed on local roads, so deletion maintains the status quo. Pathway definition. Add a definition of "multi-use pathway" (also called "shared use"), meaning a path for bicyclists, pedestrians, and other non-motorized users. Correct typos and clarify intent. Effective date. The earlier direction to delay the effective date at least 45 days for public education remains the plan. Town Commission discussion ensued regarding electric bicycles on the shared pathway, signage at both ends of the pathway, violators providing identification when cited and challenges with enforcement. The Town Commission reached consensus to proceed. The Town Attorney Rubin will bring a revised ordinance for first reading on November 5, 2026. Page 36

Town Commission Meeting Minutes Date: October 20, 2026 Page 5 of 8 10. NEW BUSINESS (Public Comments will be limited to three (3) minutes per speaker per item after Town Commission initial discussion.) A. Discussion of Proposed Ordinance Modification regarding Maximum Building Height. Town Manager Labadie explained that Table 32 excludes permitted non-usable space below the finished floor elevation from the maximum building height calculation. However, the Town Code defines “usable space” but not “non-usable space,” resulting in staff being advised to measure building height from the garage floor rather than the first finished floor, contrary to established oceanfront development practices. He noted that the issue originated in 2021 when the garage height limitation and accompanying illustration were removed from the Code, eliminating important context. He cautioned that a simple amendment could have unintended consequences for residential properties west of State Road A1A, potentially allowing additional building height beyond the established 35-foot limit. Town Manager Labadie recommended referring the matter to the Planning Board for review, as required by law, rather than pursuing an immediate amendment. He emphasized that state and federal regulations would continue to govern dune construction and that taking no action would prevent oceanfront property owners from developing their properties consistent with past practices. The Town Commission reached consensus to refer the matter to the Planning Board for review and recommendation, including comparison with how similar neighboring communities manage this matter. There were no public comments. B. Approve and authorize the Mayor to execute the Florida Inland Navigation District (FIND) Waterways Assistance Grant Program Project Agreement (Project No. PB-HB-26-242) to provide funding for Phase 2 construction of the Highland Beach Police Department Safety Dock Project. Skender Coma of the Town Manager's Office reported that the Town has been awarded the FIND grant, just under $1.3 million for Phase 2 project. MOTION: Goldberg/Stern - A motion was made and seconded to approve and authorize the mayor to execute the Florida Inland Navigation District (FIND) Waterways Assistance Grant Program Project Agreement (Project No. PB-HB-26-242).

TOWN COMMISSION COMMENTS Commissioner Jason Chudnofsky commented on two issues from a residents letter concerning the growing wetland and standing water on the property south of Toscano condominiums and the trucks parked in from of the fire and police stations. Town Manager Labadie confirmed that he had responded to the resident’s letter and explained that upcoming capital improvement projects, including the Police Department’s Real-Time Security Center project scheduled to begin the following Monday, would temporarily limit parking availability. He noted that Father Horgan had authorized Town staff to park at Saint Lucy Church to preserve parking at the library. The Town would communicate these parking restrictions to the community. Additionally, Town Manager Labadie reported that, with the assistance of State Representative Gossett-Seidman, the Town had submitted a letter to the South Florida Water Management District regarding the Golden City property adjacent to Toscana. He confirmed that Town Attorney Rubin was reviewing potential abatement options. However, because the project was permitted by the State and the site was not classified as a mangrove area, the Town was preempted from regulating the activity. He further noted that the permit required installation of a seawall along the edge of the fill site, which had not yet been completed. Commissioner Judith M. Goldberg expressed concerns regarding the property’s unstable condition noting that a large tree had fallen onto the site and that the area remained unfenced. She emphasized the potential safety hazards to children, bicyclists, and pedestrians along Ocean Boulevard and questioned whether the Town could require the installation of a gate or other protective barrier. Town Attorney Rubin indicated that he had considered whether the property could be treated as a construction site and would further evaluate the Town’s options. Commissioner Chudnofsky suggested installing construction fencing with vinyl screening to improve safety and appearance. Town Manager Labadie explained that the property owner was in discussions with a potential development team but had not committed to filling the site. He noted that while the Town could request fencing, it lacked permitting authority over the property. Town Attorney Rubin clarified that liability for unsafe conditions rested with the property owner, although the Town should pursue available measures to address potential hazards. Town Manager Labadie further reported that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers had deferred regulatory oversight to the State. He expressed concern that the State’s five- year permit period, which lacked construction milestones and fencing requirements, was unsuitable for a developed community. Commissioner Goldberg suggested bringing the matter to the attention of the Florida League of Cities for further consideration. Commissioner Donald Peters urged residents to vote early on November 3.

He spoke with an operations manager from Boca about the overgrown vegetation affecting the that the bike path from Spanish River Boulevard north of the Town line. Mayor Natasha Moore had no comments. 12. TOWN ATTORNEY’S REPORT Town Attorney Rubin had nothing to report. 13. TOWN MANAGER’S REPORT Town Manager Labadie reported the following: Mingle Jingle: The event returns December 3, with thanks to Saint Lucy Church for its cooperation. Police project: The Police real-time security center project starts next week and will take about four months. Staff will send the community a parking map protecting library spaces, and some staff, including himself, will park at the church. Marine docking facility: The project is out for bid, and major work is expected to begin around March or April, after the season. Fire annex: Plans are expected by the end of the week and will be shared with the Town Commission, after which they will consider how to proceed. Shared pathway re-paving project: The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) staff are treating the project as a federal one, though it is funded by the state appropriation, and are seeking a new permit set up despite existing permit for the embedded lights. He said the project is only a mill and overlay. The Commission has already approved the contract, and the Town needs FDOT to give notice to proceed. He is working through back channels, with Representative Gossett-Seidman and lobbyists, to move FDOT along. 14. ANNOUNCEMENTS Mayor Moore acknowledged the announcements.
