Staff recommends entering into a three-year lease agreement with Holiday Outdoor Decor for new decorations, including installation and removal. Leasing will provide updated decorations annually while eliminating the need for City storage and significantly reducing staff time and overtime associated with installation and removal. The agreement would utilize the City of St. Pete Beach's competitively bid holiday decorations contract through its cooperative purchasing provisions. The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the piggyback arrangement. Fiscal Impact: $23,585 annually, pending confirmation of contract pricing. Action Requested: Motion to approve a three-year piggyback agreement with Holiday Outdoor Decor utilizing the City of St. Pete Beach's holiday decorations contract and authorize execution of the necessary documents.

PWD Titterington stated that they must have a plumber install them at an average cost of $1500 per unit; they are actively working with business owners on timelines for installation. Commissioner Livsey asked if this was a requirement that the state enforced. Coordinator Gary stated that the Florida Department of Environmental Protection passes the laws, but entities are responsible for enforcement as it affects their water systems. Coordinator Gary added that they expect approximately 75% by the end of the month. Commissioner Goldman stated that the non-compliance letter should emphasize that this requirement is pursuant to Florida Statutes. The Commission agreed with this and directed the Public Works Department to move forward with their timeline to ensure compliance. h. Police Department: N/A i. Information Technology: N/A j. Legal Services: N/A k. Administrator: Approval of Three-Year Piggyback Agreement – Holiday Light Pole Decorations Administrator Moody stated that at the December 16, 2025 meeting the Commission directed staff to research replacement options for the dilapidated light pole decorations. Staff recommends a three-year lease with Holiday Outdoor Décor for updated holiday decorations, including installation and removal, reducing storage needs, staff time, and overtime. The agreement uses the City of St. Pete Beach’s competitively bid contract which the City Attorney has reviewed and approved. The fiscal impact is $23,585 annually, pending contract pricing confirmation. Commissioner Livsey inquired whether Duke Energy has fixed the poles along US Hwy 441.

Motion was called by a roll call vote. Ayes: Livsey, Smith, Goldman, Dwyer, Dobkowski l. Administrator: Compensation Adjustment Policy Administrator Moody reviewed the Compensation Adjustment Policy which establishes consistent guidelines for employee salary adjustments, including promotions, reclassifications, and educational or professional accomplishments. The policy promotes fairness, internal equity, and fiscal responsibility while providing a standardized review and approval process. Mayor Dobkowski stated this is a Public Meeting and asked if anyone in the audience had any comments. No one came forward. Motion made by Commissioner Goldman to approve the Compensation Adjustment Policy; seconded by Commissioner Smith. Motion was called by a roll call vote. Ayes: Livsey, Smith, Goldman, Dwyer, Dobkowski COMMISSION UPDATES: Commissioner Dwyer: Mentioned the Chosen and Cherished organization, who asked about permitting for placing drop off containers around the City to collect diapers, formula, clothing, etc. Administrator Moody replied that the City currently has a program to partner with rotating organizations via a collection box at City Hall. If one organization was allowed to place donation boxes on City property, it would open it up to multiple organizations placing boxes. Mayor Dobkowski mentioned a similar type of donation box at the plaza where Sav-a-Lot is located. Commissioner Dwyer clarified that boxes would be around the city, not on City property. Commissioner Dwyer stated he appreciated the response from Public Works regarding pot hole repair after the recent storms. Administrator Moody stated that a Development Services employee texted her stating that the boxes around the City are unpermitted and unlicensed. In the meantime, CEL Vass can coordinate using the City’s collection box. Commissioner Livsey: N/A Commissioner Goldman: Stated he is appreciative of the recent work by staff to create written policies. Commissioner Smith: N/A

10/20/2026 Commission Meeting Page 6 of 6 Mayor Dobkowski: Memorial Benches Mayor Dobkowski received an inquiry from a citizen requesting a memorial bench be placed at Lake Lillian and asked if there are currently any policies or procedures. Clerk Merritt responded that there is nothing formal in place and past memorials were approved on a case-by-case basis. Attorney Landt added that benches had been discussed in the past, but safety and maintenance was cited as a reason against installing them. Administrator Moody noted that maintenance would need to be part of a future policy and staff will move forward with research to present to the Commission at a future date. Commissioner Goldman discussed the possibility of hanging banners over Hwy 441 similar to roadways in Ocala and Marion County. Administrator Moody commented that she believes past efforts may have been hindered by the Florida Department of Transportation as US Hwy 441 is managed by FDOT. Attorney Landt stated it may be cost prohibitive due to the height of the poles required. Mayor Dobkowski: Discussion Regarding City Administrator Responsibilities and Delegation of Authority Mayor Dobkowski stated that Administrator Moody’s responsibilities have expanded significantly since her appointment 18 months ago. Mayor Dobkowski recommended reviewing the City Administrator’s job description and reporting structure to better reflect current duties and provide additional supervisory authority over department heads. Mayor Dobkowski asked if the Commission would support the review, potentially by an appointed Commissioner working with the City Administrator and City Attorney to develop recommendations for consideration at a future meeting. Commissioner Goldman supported reviewing the City Administrator’s role and reporting structure, noting past misunderstandings regarding the position’s authority. He emphasized that a centralized management structure, in which department heads report to the City Administrator, would improve oversight and accountability. He further expressed support for exploring the necessary changes, including a city manager form of government if recommended by the City Attorney. Commissioner Dwyer stated he is in favor of the proposed changes, noting the challenges of Commissioners evaluating department heads without daily oversight. He added that the proposed change would streamline operations and allow for more timely decision-making as the City grows. After discussion, Mayor Dobkowski agreed to serve on the committee. Adjournment: Meeting adjourned by Mayor Dobkowski at 6:47 PM. Attest: _________________________ Lezli Merritt, MPA City Clerk

Motion was called by a roll call vote. Ayes: Dwyer, Livsey, Smith, Goldman, Dobkowski PUBLIC HEARING: FINAL READING a. Ordinance 2026-19: Abandoned and Vacant Real and Personal Property Mayor Dobkowski read Ordinance 2026-19 Abandoned and Vacant Real and Personal Property, Title Only. Development Services Director Chancey gave an overview stating the Ordinance, first approved on September 15, 2026, corrects Ordinance 2026-07 which was adopted at the April 7th Commission meeting. Finance staff identified an error in Section 2.269, which incorrectly granted authority to the clerk or designee for the collection, allocation, and expenditures of said revenue. Ordinance 2026-19 corrects this language to vest that authority in the City Administrator or designee. In addition, the prior ordinance referred to a vacant and abandoned building fund that shall be administered in a separate line item. Ordinance 2026-19 replaces that phrase with the vacant and abandoned building account. Mayor Dobkowski stated this is a Public Hearing and asked if anyone in the audience had any comments. No one came forward.

Development Services Director Chancey stated that at the August 18, 2026 meeting, the Commission considered prohibiting new residential construction to prevent an overconcentration of residential uses in B-2 zones; staff was directed to draft an ordinance to implement the prohibition. The proposed ordinance preserves existing residential uses and permits their continued use. It would allow mixed-use buildings, including upper-floor flats and loft apartments, as well as on-site residences for managers, security personnel, or owners. Mayor Dobkowski stated this is a Public Hearing and asked if anyone in the audience had any comments. No one came forward. Motion made by Commissioner Goldman to approve Ordinance 2026-18 Residential Uses in B-2 Zoning on First Reading, Title Only; seconded by Commissioner Livsey. Motion was called by a roll call vote. Ayes: Dwyer, Livsey, Smith, Goldman, Dobkowski SCHEDULED AUDIENCE: a. Ausley Construction Public Works Director Titterington stated that Ausley Construction has requested temporary access through City-owned property located at the rear of the Public Works facility for the construction of the new Belleview Elementary School building. Ausley Construction will perform clearing, grading, and other preparations necessary at no cost to the City. Upon completion of the project or when the temporary access is no longer needed, Ausley Construction will restore the affected property to the satisfaction of the City. Dustin Magamoll, representative for Ausley Construction, stated that construction will be starting during the school’s Christmas break. Mayor Dobkowski stated this is a Public Meeting and asked if anyone in the audience had any comments. No one came forward. Motion made by Commissioner Dwyer to approve Ausley Construction’s request for temporary access through City-owned property; seconded by Commissioner Goldman. Commissioner Goldman asked whether there will be a formal agreement; PWD Titterington responded that there would be.

10/06/2026 Commission Meeting Page 3 of 8 Commissioner Smith stated that he wanted it to be known that he does not approve of the project and the impact it will have on the roads. Commissioner Dwyer remarked that unfortunately the City does not have a say in the matter as it is a Marion County School Board project. Motion was called by a roll call vote. Ayes: Dwyer, Livsey, Goldman, Dobkowski Nays: Smith b. Sue Mosley - Belleview Christmas Parade Sue Mosley is overseeing the coordination of the Belleview Christmas Parade again and requested Commission approval of the parade date of December 6, 2026 and authorize the appropriate road closures. Mayor Dobkowski stated this is a public meeting and asked if anyone in the audience had any comments. No one came forward. Motion made by Commissioner Smith to approve the request from Sue Mosley to hold the Belleview Christmas Parade on Sunday, December 6th, and instruct the Police Department to coordinate the road closures as necessary; seconded by Commissioner Goldman. Motion was called by a roll call vote. Ayes: Dwyer, Livsey, Smith, Goldman, Dobkowski c. Ocala/Marion County Chamber & Economic Partnership (CEP) 2027 Agreement Matt McCormick, President & CEO of the CEP, presented the 2027 Business Creation, Retention and Attraction Services Agreement for the activities and economic development efforts for the City of Belleview. He stated that they are working on a strategic plan and obtaining more partnerships. Mayor Dobkowski stated this is a Public Meeting and asked if anyone in the audience had any comments. No one came forward. Motion made by Commissioner Goldman to approve the 2027 CEP Services Agreement; seconded by Commissioner Smith. Motion was called by a roll call vote. Ayes: Dwyer, Livsey, Smith, Goldman, Dobkowski d. Dale and Donna Ferson Mr. Ferson discussed the maintenance, drainage, trees/vegetation, and access for SE 106th Place Road. Attorney Landt provided clarification that he reviewed all documentation and found the City has no legal obligation to construct or maintain the road; the Commission would need to decide if the City would like to create the road and maintain it. Mayor Dobkowski asked PWD Titterington what work would need to be completed to establish this as a City road. He replied that he visited the site, which is a single lane dirt road, and found

10/06/2026 Commission Meeting Page 4 of 8 no issues with access, but due to the fact that it is in a flood plain, property acquisition would be required to improve the roadway. Commissioner Smith asked Mr. Ferson if he used the road prior to Ace Hardware’s construction. Mr. Ferson stated that he did not, he accessed Hwy 441 by clearing land and cutting across their property. Donna Maholage Ferson approached to speak on flooding in their yard during storms, the retention area, and a tree overhanging their property. DSD Chancey stated that the retention pond is owned by the plaza and a code enforcement case has been opened to address its maintenance. Commissioner Goldman mentioned that prior to discussing the costs associated with creating the road, the retention pond issue must be addressed first. DSD Chancey remarked that there are sinkholes in the retention area, which will need to be addressed by the property owner in order to fully clean it. The Commission directed PWD Titterington to calculate a cost associated with the creation of the road. Commissioner Dwyer stated that he has seen some recent land clearing near Hwy 441 next to the Ace Hardware and asked DSD Chancey if there were any projects starting. DSD Chancey responded that the tree trimming was done by the Florida Department of Transportation in the state’s right-of-way. Attorney Landt circled back to Mr. Ferson’s question on how SE 106th Place Road was created; he stated that the road name was on property documentation when it was annexed into the City in 2003. Mayor Dobkowski informed Mr. Ferson that staff will continue the code enforcement action to rectify the issue with the retention pond and the Public Works Director will formulate a cost to present to the Commission at a future meeting. e. Belleview Youth Baseball League The Mayor addressed ongoing issues at the Sportsplex involving the use of city ballfields and batting cages by Belleview Youth Baseball (BYB) and the public. She stated that her efforts to address citizen concerns have been characterized as a personal conflict with the league, but emphasized that she followed established procedures and coordinated with Marion County Parks and Recreation Director Jim Couillard, consistent with the City’s agreement with the County. Beginning in March 2026, concerns were raised regarding confusion over scheduled league use versus public access to the facilities. Additional issues included weekend tournaments and fundraisers, potential restrictions on public access, concession stand renovations involving unpermitted electrical work, vendor business tax requirements, and the condition of the trailer. The Mayor stated that several matters were initiated by staff or brought forward through citizen

10/06/2026 Commission Meeting Page 5 of 8 complaints, and that she referred concerns to the appropriate County or City personnel for review. In July, the Mayor met with staff and Mr. Couillard to clarify the facility agreements, public access to batting cages, and the trailer’s status. A subsequent meeting with the league president addressed outstanding concerns, and the parties agreed to split the cost of a grease interceptor three ways. Following another batting cage access dispute in September, the Mayor requested the league’s use schedule and the annual financial reports required under its County agreement. She also suggested keeping at least one batting cage available to the public and requested signage to clarify access rules. The Mayor reported that the requested financial documents had not been received, public access concerns remained unresolved, and signage had not been installed. She also clarified that her requests for financial records were directed to the County, not the league, as the documents were required under the existing agreement. In light of the ongoing issues, she requested that the Commission schedule the previously proposed Sportsplex workshop for the second meeting in November, following the outcome of the property tax and bond initiatives. Steven Kugler, Belleview Youth Baseball’s president, addressed the City Commission regarding field usage and batting cage conflicts with the public. He stated that the only times they have issues is when the Mayor’s family is involved. He further commented that the only work completed in the concession area was changing a light fixture and it was not communicated to them that they couldn’t use the facility, only that any construction work must be halted until they obtained a permit, which they had to pay for. Mr. Kugler said that they are working with the County on submitting the league financial information to comply for reporting purposes. He would like communication to improve. Maria Esposito remarked that there have been many communication issues between Belleview, Marion County, and BYB. She also said that she has started to work with City staff to properly permit their events as required. Attorney Landt commented on the Mayor’s actions vis à vis the removal of the trailer and responding to inquiries or complaints by contacting staff or Marion County as appropriate. Bob Dobkowski discussed his past coaching with BYB and the actions that the City has undertaken to improve the park and support the league through the years. Mayor Dobkowski stated that Marion County began managing the regulation of the sports leagues in 2012 and it appears that their staff is telling the league one thing while the director is telling her something else. Michael Bradbury discussed an issue with a fundraising event. Michael Congleton stated that he had seen the Mayor’s son at the field when the concession stand was open and felt the timing was suspicious because the Police Department arrived shortly after to have them close their doors.

10/06/2026 Commission Meeting Page 6 of 8 Mayor Dobkowski clarified that it was not suspicious timing as she had received the photo of the concession stand open and contacted staff to verify it should not have been occupied and informed the Police. Mr. Congleton expressed that there are many issues with the park, including the new lights that have been installed and they have contacted the County. Breanna Hickson commented that her son is part of the league and finds it welcoming. Commissioner Smith exited the meeting at 7:40 PM and returned at 7:43 PM. Lucia Esposito remarked that she doesn’t believe the league monopolizes the park’s usage. Colton Craine commented that he was the one who painted the concession stand and changed the light figure inside; BYB’s goal is to make the park better. Ronnie Woods stated that he believes all parties need to begin getting along. Commissioner Goldman stated that he has not been privy to everything that has occurred, but noted the problem is one of communication. He believes there needs to be increased communication with a representative from Belleview, Marion County, and BYB. He added that he would like a representative from Marion County present at the upcoming workshop on the Sports Complex. Commissioner Dwyer thanked the citizens for attending the meeting and it appears that all parties involved want what is best for the park. Commissioner Dwyer mentioned that the City, with a population of 6000 people, funded $380,000 for lights at a park that is primarily used by County residents. He stated that it may be beneficial for City staff to have more of a presence in the park to facilitate more communication. Commissioner Smith hopes that after tonight, all parties realize they can do better and work towards solutions. He explained that the majority of the park belongs to the County, the majority of users are County residents, and believes that more communication needs to go through the County. Commissioner Smith stated that there are additional needs out there, including more batting cages. UNSCHEDULED AUDIENCE: No one came forward. OTHER CITY BUSINESS/DEPARTMENT UPDATES: a.

10/06/2026 Commission Meeting Page 1 of 8 CITY OF BELLEVIEW CITY COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES Belleview City Hall Mayor CHRISTINE K. DOBKOWSKI Commission Room Seat 1 MICHAEL J. GOLDMAN 5343 SE Abshier Blvd. Seat 2 RAY DWYER Belleview, FL Seat 3 RONALD T. LIVSEY October 6, 2026 Seat 4 ROBERT "BO" SMITH 6:00 PM MOMENT OF SILENCE/PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE – Commissioner Smith ROLL CALL OF COMMISSIONERS: Present: Dwyer, Livsey, Smith, Goldman, Dobkowski APPROVAL OF MINUTES: a. 09-15-2026 Commission Meeting Minutes and the 09-29-2026 Special Commission Meeting Minutes Motion made by Commissioner Smith to approve the 09-15-2026 Commission Meeting Minutes and the 09-29-2026 Special Commission Meeting as presented; seconded by Commissioner Dwyer. Motion was called by a roll call vote. Ayes: Dwyer, Livsey, Smith, Goldman, Dobkowski PUBLIC HEARING: FINAL READING a. Ordinance 2026-19: Abandoned and Vacant Real and Personal Property Mayor Dobkowski read Ordinance 2026-19 Abandoned and Vacant Real and Personal Property, Title Only. Development Services Director Chancey gave an overview stating the Ordinance, first approved on September 15, 2026, corrects Ordinance 2026-07 which was adopted at the April 7th Commission meeting. Finance staff identified an error in Section 2.269, which incorrectly granted authority to the clerk or designee for the collection, allocation, and expenditures of said revenue. Ordinance 2026-19 corrects this language to vest that authority in the City Administrator or designee. In addition, the prior ordinance referred to a vacant and abandoned building fund that shall be administered in a separate line item. Ordinance 2026-19 replaces that phrase with the vacant and abandoned building account. Mayor Dobkowski stated this is a Public Hearing and asked if anyone in the audience had any comments. No one came forward.

10/06/2026 Commission Meeting Page 2 of 8 Motion made by Commissioner Livsey to approve Ordinance 2026-19 Abandoned and Vacant Real and Personal Property on Final Reading, Title Only; seconded by Commissioner Dwyer.

Ordinance 2026-18: Residential Uses in B-2 Zoning Mayor Dobkowski read Ordinance 2026-18 Residential Uses in B-2 Zoning, Title Only. Development Services Director Chancey stated that at the August 18, 2026 meeting, the Commission considered prohibiting new residential construction to prevent an overconcentration of residential uses in B-2 zones; staff was directed to draft an ordinance to implement the prohibition. The proposed ordinance preserves existing residential uses and permits their continued use. It would allow mixed-use buildings, including upper-floor flats and loft apartments, as well as on-site residences for managers, security personnel, or owners. Mayor Dobkowski stated this is a Public Hearing and asked if anyone in the audience had any comments. No one came forward. Motion made by Commissioner Goldman to approve Ordinance 2026-18 Residential Uses in B-2 Zoning on First Reading, Title Only; seconded by Commissioner Livsey. Motion was called by a roll call vote. Ayes: Dwyer, Livsey, Smith, Goldman, Dobkowski SCHEDULED AUDIENCE: a. Ausley Construction Public Works Director Titterington stated that Ausley Construction has requested temporary access through City-owned property located at the rear of the Public Works facility for the construction of the new Belleview Elementary School building. Ausley Construction will perform clearing, grading, and other preparations necessary at no cost to the City. Upon completion of the project or when the temporary access is no longer needed, Ausley Construction will restore the affected property to the satisfaction of the City. Dustin Magamoll, representative for Ausley Construction, stated that construction will be starting during the school’s Christmas break. Mayor Dobkowski stated this is a Public Meeting and asked if anyone in the audience had any comments. No one came forward. Motion made by Commissioner Dwyer to approve Ausley Construction’s request for temporary access through City-owned property; seconded by Commissioner Goldman. Commissioner Goldman asked whether there will be a formal agreement; PWD Titterington responded that there would be.

10/06/2026 Commission Meeting Page 3 of 8 Commissioner Smith stated that he wanted it to be known that he does not approve of the project and the impact it will have on the roads. Commissioner Dwyer remarked that unfortunately the City does not have a say in the matter as it is a Marion County School Board project. Motion was called by a roll call vote. Ayes: Dwyer, Livsey, Goldman, Dobkowski Nays: Smith b. Sue Mosley - Belleview Christmas Parade Sue Mosley is overseeing the coordination of the Belleview Christmas Parade again and requested Commission approval of the parade date of December 6, 2026 and authorize the appropriate road closures. Mayor Dobkowski stated this is a public meeting and asked if anyone in the audience had any comments. No one came forward. Motion made by Commissioner Smith to approve the request from Sue Mosley to hold the Belleview Christmas Parade on Sunday, December 6th, and instruct the Police Department to coordinate the road closures as necessary; seconded by Commissioner Goldman. Motion was called by a roll call vote. Ayes: Dwyer, Livsey, Smith, Goldman, Dobkowski c. Ocala/Marion County Chamber & Economic Partnership (CEP) 2027 Agreement Matt McCormick, President & CEO of the CEP, presented the 2027 Business Creation, Retention and Attraction Services Agreement for the activities and economic development efforts for the City of Belleview. He stated that they are working on a strategic plan and obtaining more partnerships. Mayor Dobkowski stated this is a Public Meeting and asked if anyone in the audience had any comments. No one came forward. Motion made by Commissioner Goldman to approve the 2027 CEP Services Agreement; seconded by Commissioner Smith. Motion was called by a roll call vote. Ayes: Dwyer, Livsey, Smith, Goldman, Dobkowski d. Dale and Donna Ferson Mr. Ferson discussed the maintenance, drainage, trees/vegetation, and access for SE 106th Place Road. Attorney Landt provided clarification that he reviewed all documentation and found the City has no legal obligation to construct or maintain the road; the Commission would need to decide if the City would like to create the road and maintain it. Mayor Dobkowski asked PWD Titterington what work would need to be completed to establish this as a City road. He replied that he visited the site, which is a single lane dirt road, and found

10/06/2026 Commission Meeting Page 4 of 8 no issues with access, but due to the fact that it is in a flood plain, property acquisition would be required to improve the roadway. Commissioner Smith asked Mr. Ferson if he used the road prior to Ace Hardware’s construction. Mr. Ferson stated that he did not, he accessed Hwy 441 by clearing land and cutting across their property. Donna Maholage Ferson approached to speak on flooding in their yard during storms, the retention area, and a tree overhanging their property. DSD Chancey stated that the retention pond is owned by the plaza and a code enforcement case has been opened to address its maintenance. Commissioner Goldman mentioned that prior to discussing the costs associated with creating the road, the retention pond issue must be addressed first. DSD Chancey remarked that there are sinkholes in the retention area, which will need to be addressed by the property owner in order to fully clean it. The Commission directed PWD Titterington to calculate a cost associated with the creation of the road. Commissioner Dwyer stated that he has seen some recent land clearing near Hwy 441 next to the Ace Hardware and asked DSD Chancey if there were any projects starting. DSD Chancey responded that the tree trimming was done by the Florida Department of Transportation in the state’s right-of-way. Attorney Landt circled back to Mr. Ferson’s question on how SE 106th Place Road was created; he stated that the road name was on property documentation when it was annexed into the City in 2003. Mayor Dobkowski informed Mr. Ferson that staff will continue the code enforcement action to rectify the issue with the retention pond and the Public Works Director will formulate a cost to present to the Commission at a future meeting. e. Belleview Youth Baseball League The Mayor addressed ongoing issues at the Sportsplex involving the use of city ballfields and batting cages by Belleview Youth Baseball (BYB) and the public. She stated that her efforts to address citizen concerns have been characterized as a personal conflict with the league, but emphasized that she followed established procedures and coordinated with Marion County Parks and Recreation Director Jim Couillard, consistent with the City’s agreement with the County. Beginning in March 2026, concerns were raised regarding confusion over scheduled league use versus public access to the facilities. Additional issues included weekend tournaments and fundraisers, potential restrictions on public access, concession stand renovations involving unpermitted electrical work, vendor business tax requirements, and the condition of the trailer. The Mayor stated that several matters were initiated by staff or brought forward through citizen

10/06/2026 Commission Meeting Page 5 of 8 complaints, and that she referred concerns to the appropriate County or City personnel for review. In July, the Mayor met with staff and Mr. Couillard to clarify the facility agreements, public access to batting cages, and the trailer’s status. A subsequent meeting with the league president addressed outstanding concerns, and the parties agreed to split the cost of a grease interceptor three ways. Following another batting cage access dispute in September, the Mayor requested the league’s use schedule and the annual financial reports required under its County agreement. She also suggested keeping at least one batting cage available to the public and requested signage to clarify access rules. The Mayor reported that the requested financial documents had not been received, public access concerns remained unresolved, and signage had not been installed. She also clarified that her requests for financial records were directed to the County, not the league, as the documents were required under the existing agreement. In light of the ongoing issues, she requested that the Commission schedule the previously proposed Sportsplex workshop for the second meeting in November, following the outcome of the property tax and bond initiatives. Steven Kugler, Belleview Youth Baseball’s president, addressed the City Commission regarding field usage and batting cage conflicts with the public. He stated that the only times they have issues is when the Mayor’s family is involved. He further commented that the only work completed in the concession area was changing a light fixture and it was not communicated to them that they couldn’t use the facility, only that any construction work must be halted until they obtained a permit, which they had to pay for. Mr. Kugler said that they are working with the County on submitting the league financial information to comply for reporting purposes. He would like communication to improve. Maria Esposito remarked that there have been many communication issues between Belleview, Marion County, and BYB. She also said that she has started to work with City staff to properly permit their events as required. Attorney Landt commented on the Mayor’s actions vis à vis the removal of the trailer and responding to inquiries or complaints by contacting staff or Marion County as appropriate. Bob Dobkowski discussed his past coaching with BYB and the actions that the City has undertaken to improve the park and support the league through the years. Mayor Dobkowski stated that Marion County began managing the regulation of the sports leagues in 2012 and it appears that their staff is telling the league one thing while the director is telling her something else. Michael Bradbury discussed an issue with a fundraising event. Michael Congleton stated that he had seen the Mayor’s son at the field when the concession stand was open and felt the timing was suspicious because the Police Department arrived shortly after to have them close their doors.

10/06/2026 Commission Meeting Page 6 of 8 Mayor Dobkowski clarified that it was not suspicious timing as she had received the photo of the concession stand open and contacted staff to verify it should not have been occupied and informed the Police. Mr. Congleton expressed that there are many issues with the park, including the new lights that have been installed and they have contacted the County. Breanna Hickson commented that her son is part of the league and finds it welcoming. Commissioner Smith exited the meeting at 7:40 PM and returned at 7:43 PM. Lucia Esposito remarked that she doesn’t believe the league monopolizes the park’s usage. Colton Craine commented that he was the one who painted the concession stand and changed the light figure inside; BYB’s goal is to make the park better. Ronnie Woods stated that he believes all parties need to begin getting along. Commissioner Goldman stated that he has not been privy to everything that has occurred, but noted the problem is one of communication. He believes there needs to be increased communication with a representative from Belleview, Marion County, and BYB. He added that he would like a representative from Marion County present at the upcoming workshop on the Sports Complex. Commissioner Dwyer thanked the citizens for attending the meeting and it appears that all parties involved want what is best for the park. Commissioner Dwyer mentioned that the City, with a population of 6000 people, funded $380,000 for lights at a park that is primarily used by County residents. He stated that it may be beneficial for City staff to have more of a presence in the park to facilitate more communication. Commissioner Smith hopes that after tonight, all parties realize they can do better and work towards solutions. He explained that the majority of the park belongs to the County, the majority of users are County residents, and believes that more communication needs to go through the County. Commissioner Smith stated that there are additional needs out there, including more batting cages. UNSCHEDULED AUDIENCE: No one came forward. OTHER CITY BUSINESS/DEPARTMENT UPDATES: a.
