# TOWN OF NORTH REDINGTON BEACH

BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS SPECIAL MEETING OCTOBER 15TH, 2025

## CALL TO ORDER

Mayor Super called the October 15th, 2025 meeting to order at 10:00 a.m. The meeting was held at the Town Hall building, 190 - 173rd Avenue, North Redington Beach, Florida.

Mayor Super, Vice Mayor Kennedy, Commissioners Nagrabski and Thornton were present. Staff present was Town Clerk Mari Campbell.

## 1\. DISCUSSION OF PROCESS TO APPOINT COMMISSIONER TO SEAT 1

Town Clerk Campbell went over the memo distributed by the Town Attorney which outlined the previous process used when Ted Dahl resigned from the Commission. At that time the Commission was separated into different areas and each applicant rotated between the commissioners and was interviewed. Each Commissioner rated each candidate with a score, giving the highest score to the candidate they most favored working down. The sheets were collected by the clerk, tabulated and the candidate with the highest collective score was appointed at the following meeting.

The Board discussed that instead of having a set of questions that all of the Commissioner asked, each Commissioner should come up with their own set of questions. It was agreed for the clerk to put out an email announcing the vacancy and the request for resumes and the board would hold the interviews at 9:00 am on November 5th.

## 2\. RATIFICATION OF HIRING OF PUBLIC WORKS – GROUNDS EMPLOYEE

As the previously planned employee was not hired, there was no ratification. The Board discussed they would go back to the other candidate that was interviewed and see if he was still interested and if he is not, will go back to the applicants and see if there are other viable candidates.

## 3\. APPROVAL OF AMENDED INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT FOR THE PURCHASE OF NORTH REDINGTON BEACH WASTEWATER COLLECTION AND TRANSMISSION SYSTEM BY PINELLAS COUNTY

The Town Clerk explained the County had amended the interlocal agreement by adding in the wiring instructions on how the initial payment, and the subsequent four years of payments, are to be paid. They are asking the Board to reapprove the agreement with the amendment. Commissioner Nagrabski made a motion to approve the amended agreement. Commissioner Thornton seconded the motion. The motion passed by affirmation.

## 4\. RESOLUTION NO. 2025-299 A RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN OF NORTH REDINGTON BEACH, SETTING THE AMOUNT OF FEES AND BUSINESS TAX RECEIPTS AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

Vice Mayor Kennedy made a motion to approve Resolution No. 2025-299. Commissioner Nagrabski seconded the motion.

Town Clerk Campbell stated that Town Attorney Daigneault had suggested $200 for the permit fee for the road closure permit but that the Board could amend the fee if it was given appropriate reason. She explained that she and the Mayor went over the amount of time it would take for her to receive the permit and review for completeness and review map for the number of houses affected by the closure at her hourly rate, along with the Deputy Clerk’s hourly rate to complete the hang tags to for them to be distributed to the houses and felt $400 was an accurate amount.

The motion passed by affirmation.

## 5\. MISCELLANEOUS

Mayor Super advised the Board there is ongoing issues with the Public Works Supervisor that Commissioner Nagrabski spoke about the September meeting. He reiterated that tasks were not being completed in a timely manner and sometimes not at all after being told directly to do them multiple times, by different people including himself.

Town Clerk Campbell stated she had spoken with Mr. Bodeker the day before regarding him not using the trailer when mowing the park and told him he could not be riding the mower from park to park within the town, that he had to use the trailer so he had all the supplies with him and not putting hours and wear and tear on the mower. She indicated this was not well received and shortly thereafter she received a complaint from a resident at Radcliffe Park about Mr. Bodeker. Town Clerk Campbell read the complaint regarding Mr. Bodeker arriving and beginning to mow directly at the pickleball court and blowing the debris into the court at the players, at their cars and at residents outside the court. She was upset he did not mow the other area of the park where there were no people and indicated it was intentional.

Commissioner Nagrabski stated there was a time management issue and when asked if he had ordered the sandbags as told to in April, he stated he had but there had been no confirmation the bags had been ordered. Commissioner Nagrabski stated this was just one example of many. He explained he had to move the Public Works meeting to weekly just to stay on top of the projects list to make sure things were getting completed.

The Board agreed it was in the best interest of the town to move forward with someone else. Mayor Super stated that Eric Lamb, that has helped out in Public Works over the past year, has indicated he would like to come onboard at the beginning of December. Discussion was held on whether to keep Mr. Bodeker on until then. The decision was made to give Mr. Bodeker six week severance and terminate Mr. Bodeker’s service to the town.

* * *

Town Clerk Campbell brought up discussion of increasing the variance fee. The $400 fee charged does not come close to covering the attorney fees. The Board discussed and it was decided the Town Clerk would check with the Town Attorney to see if it was legal to charge $400 to cover the cost of the advertising and mailing of notices plus attorney fees.

Mr. Messmore, resident, discussed items including the variety of trucks using the concourse and enforcement, the no u-turn sign on Gulf Blvd and e-bikes.

There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 11:03 am.

Respectfully submitted,

Mari Campbell, CMC Town Clerk
