Commissioner Dickey asked if the applicant would be allowed to speak. Vice Mayor Vasquez said there was communication from the applicant.

* * *

Attorney Rollins advised if the Commission wanted to hear the case, the process needed to be followed.

Commissioner Dickey did not believe the item needed to be tabled and if the variance was approved, it would allow the owner to move forward. Vice Mayor Vasquez opined the delay for nourishment was not the City’s responsibility and did not want to set precedent by approving a 0-foot setback because it was unclear when the County would complete renourishment.

BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS SPECIAL MEETING MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 2025 – 6:00 PM CITY HALL CHAMBERS 10451 GULF BLVD TREASURE ISLAND, FL 33706 Minutes A. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE Mayor Doctor called the meeting to order at 6:01 p.m. and led in the pledge of allegiance. B. ROLL CALL Present: Mayor John Doctor Vice Mayor Tammy Vasquez Commissioner Arthur Czyszczon Commissioner Arden Dickey Absent: Commissioner Chris Clark City Manager Charlie Van Zant noted that Commissioner Clark’s absence was excused due to a family emergency. C. ITEMS OF BUSINESS Public Works Director Gary Volenec provided an update on solid waste outsourcing, as contained in background materials. Vice Mayor Vasquez asked about yard debris pickup. Mr. Volenec said yard waste would be picked up twice a week. Commissioner Dickey wanted to see the City’s remaining expenses after outsourcing. Director Volenec noted the current budget reflected keeping solid waste in house. Finance Director Victor Ortiz said after outsourcing there was potential for one full-time equivalent of about $60,000, but City staff would try to cover any additional work, and said the solid waste fund would be eliminated after any debts were paid and any remaining funds would be put in the general fund. Mayor Doctor asked how the contract would be signed. City Manager Charlie Van Zant said solid waste outsourcing would be on the September 16, 2025, agenda and did not 7

believe he could sign the contract without the Board’s full approval. City Attorney Anthony Sabatini said the Board would have to give authorization. C.1 Authorize Commissioner Clark to Participate Remotely – Not Addressed. C.2 First Budget Public Hearing for Fiscal Year 2026 Budget Vice Mayor Vasquez moved to approve Ordinance 2025-21 adopting FY 2026 budget, with the budget document and prior year encumbrances as of September 30, 2025, at the first reading, with a second and final reading and public hearing scheduled for September 16, seconded by Commissioner Czyszczon. Mayor Doctor called for public comment. Ms. Sarah Pennington, Isle of Palms, read comments from Commissioner Clark outlining his objections to the budget due to insufficient time to review and increased expenses. Director Ortiz reviewed a presentation, as provided in background materials. Responding to Commissioner Dickey, Director Ortiz said the 2024 and 2025 amounts were presented for reference and validity and continued the presentation. Commissioner Dickey noted the building fund operating expenses were projected at a historically high amount and believed the City was attempting to keep the operating expenses that were adopted due to storm recovery. Director Ortiz said he could dig into the details of the building operating account and follow up with the Commissioner. Referencing background material, Commissioner Dickey believed the budget reflected previous year’s expenses that would not continue. Assistant Community Development Director Maryellen Edwards said the amount was due to the additional building inspector, the MT Causley contract increase, and software costs. Commissioner Dickey asked the City Manager to look more closely at the Building Fund. In answer to Mayor Doctor, Director Ortiz confirmed Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funds were expected for the building fund, highlighted the building fund still owed money to the general fund, and said he would provide the amounts expected from FEMA. Commissioner Dickey reiterated that the building fund operating expenses needed to be examined. Director Ortiz stated the building fund could not operate at a deficit moving forward, would report on the amount of money expected from FEMA, but cautioned those funds were not guaranteed. Director Ortiz resumed the presentation. Regarding the wastewater fund, Commissioner Dickey noted a six percent increase and suggested not raising the rate, which would cost $400,000 in revenue but believed the fund balance was significant enough to not have a negative impact. Director Ortiz said the City was not increasing rates, but said the increase was a pass-through increase from the City of St. Petersburg. Commissioner Dickey said he thought the account would be fine without passing along the increase from St. Petersburg. Director Ortiz noted there would only be $2 million left in the account at the end of FY 2026. Commissioner Dickey argued that was because of capital expenditures and asserted the account did not need the six percent increase. Director Ortiz said he would adjust the budget if the Commission consented but did not recommend it. Director 8

Volenec added that the lift stations were damaged during the storm and Public Works was evaluating a program to renovate them all. Director Ortiz explained it was important to keep a healthy balance due to the operating expenses. Commissioner Dickey said he would like the City Manager to look at the fund. Director Ortiz resumed the presentation. Referencing the set-aside reserves, Mayor Doctor asked if the funds were from unfunded capital improvement projects. Director Ortiz confirmed. Mayor Doctor said there were very large projects that needed to be completed. Commissioner Dickey asked if the money could be used for projects. Director Ortiz did not recommend using all the funds, but they were available. Director Ortiz continued the presentation. Commissioner Dickey asked if the solid waste outsourcing was completed, could the money be spent on other things. Director Ortiz said it could after a budget amendment and concluded the presentation. Vice Mayor Vasquez confirmed the amounts shown in the presentation did not include expected FEMA or grant money. Director Ortiz said the reserves would increase with FEMA/Grant funds. Commissioner Dickey asked how reserve funds were invested. Director Ortiz said the City invested about $1.8 million that renewed every month and advised against long-term or high-risk investments. Commissioner Dickey noticed the interest revenue from FY 2025 was about $600,00 and appreciated the high amount and noted miscellaneous interest was budgeted lower than the previous year. Praising the conservative approach to the budget, Commissioner Dickey believed City revenue would be higher due to the budget reflecting a higher decrease in property tax revenue than expected and lower parking revenue than anticipated. Director Ortiz explained he budgeted 95% of expected revenues. Following remarks, Mayor Doctor agreed staff had done an excellent job, but asked about a fee schedule. Director Ortiz said there were no fee changes recommended and believed there should be a fee study. City Manager Van Zant said the fee schedule could be adjusted if the Commissioner desired. Responding to Mayor Doctor, City Manager Van Zant said he would get the fee schedule to the Commission. Commissioner Czyszczon asked how the increased parking fee increase was going. City Manager Van Zant said he would be coming back with the results when the month was completed. Commissioner Dickey said it was a bad month due to weather issues. Police Chief John Barkley noted there were record parking tickets issues and said the City was evaluating “scoff” laws for repeat violators. Commissioner Dickey asked if parking tickets prevented people from renewing their driver’s license. Commissioner Czyszczon inquired about increasing parking fines. Mayor Doctor favored increasing parking rates to $5 and wanted to see all the parking lots have signage that highlighted City Parking and rates. Commissioner Czyszczon did not want rates printed on signs because it would prohibit dynamic parking. Vice Mayor Vasquez agreed with Mayor Doctor. Mayor Doctor said there could be an asterisk denoting rates might vary. Commissioner Dickey did not want to make any changes until the month 9

parking analysis. Director Ortiz said he would bring back a full parking analysis to Commissioner Czyszczon and a credit card fee item for the October 7, 2025, workshop. Mayor Doctor did not believe the month-long parking analysis would provide much information. Vice Mayor Vasquez agreed. Answering Mayor Doctor, City Manager Van Zant said the analysis would be a snapshot to compare to 2024. Commissioner Dickey suggested comparing July and August. Commissioner Czyszczon suggested comparing August 2023, August 2024, and August 2025. Mr. Mark Hohe, District 3, appreciated Commissioner Dickey’s questions, highlighted a request from August 8, 2025, for a summary of salaries; noted the last rate study significantly increased stormwater rates; hoped the $12 million reserve was spent wisely. Ms. Sarah Pennington, Isle of Palms, praised Director Ortiz and Commissioner Dickey, wondered if private parking lots could be required to post they were private lots, and cautioned against lifestyle creep within the City budget. City Attorney Anthony Sabatini read the ordinance by title only. The motion carried four to zero. D. PUBLIC COMMENTS FOR NON-AGENDA ITEMS None. E. ADJOURNMENT The meeting was adjourned at 7:30 p.m. _________________________ John Doctor, Mayor Attest: ___________________________ Lisa-Marie V. Kennedy, City Clerk 10

2 the item. Commissioner Clark asked for specifics on what the item would do. City Attorney Anthony Sabatini said the ordinance would exempt single-family homes and properties with sea walls from the TMM to speed up repairs. Assistant Community Development Director Maryellen Edwards noted there were problems with consultants and the proposed exemption would assist residents in the short term and expedite permits. Commissioner Clark expounded on TMM issues and asked if the change was beneficial to the City as well. Assistant City Manager Lee explained the purpose.
