MINUTES Special Council Meeting – July 17, 2023 Page 4 of 9 Village Manager Nick Marano offered the Council the following consideration for the Ordinance on page 2, section 3, lines 14 and 15: if the Council does pass the Ordinance on First Reading, to look between the Parks Department and the Public Services Department.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE MAYOR AND VILLAGE COUNCIL OF THE VILLAGE OF PALMETTO BAY, FLORIDA, RELATING TO PLANNING AND ZONING FEES; AMENDING APPENDIX A OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES; PROVIDING FOR ORDINANCES IN C O N F L I C T , CODIFICATION, SEVERABILITY, AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE. (Sponsored by Administration) Item 4B was moved by Vice Mayor Leanne Tellam. Seconded by Councilmember Patrick Fiore. Village Clerk Missy Arocha read the public comment submitted by form. All public comments submitted by form are attached as “Exhibit A”. Heidi Siegel, Community and Economic Development Director, explained the purpose and intent of the Ordinance and reported that under Appendix A, the existing Planning and Zoning Fee Schedule dates to incorporation and has not been properly updated-it refers to applications of the Miami Dade County Code, references application types that are not correlated to the Village’s Zone Code, and references County zoning district designations as opposed to Village zoning designations. She explained that staff conducted a study of six municipalities similar in size to the Village to do the comparison and that the final fee structure for the Village is streamlined to reflect the applications in the Zoning Code and accounts for staff time reviewing the applications, including creating a fee for special events and special event banners, adjusted public notice mailing fees, and establishes a fee for short term rental annual inspections. Councilmember Marsha Matson questioned the park impact currency fee and asked if those fees were legal, including the accommodation for potential loss of revenue. 10

MINUTES Special Council Meeting – July 17, 2023 Page 5 of 9 Director Siegel responded that the Ordinance does not change or approve impact fees- only Planning and Zoning hearing items, although it happens to be on the same section code. She explained that she will only be able to answer the questions related to the impact fee once the Village completes a study. Attorney John Dellagloria reported that the Village must conduct a study of what occurred in the past regarding the collected fees related to the park impact currency fee, and if the Village has improperly committed under the statute and code collected fees, there could be a financial impact to the Village. Councilmember Matson questioned why 30-year vs. 40-year buildings were not implemented on the Ordinance. Director Siegel responded that it falls under the Building Code, not the Planning and Zoning Code and that by reference, the Village accepts the Florida Building Code, administrative rules from Miami Dade County, and that the Village does not have its own building code relating to condo 30-year inspections. Discussion ensued regarding the fees for childcare, private schools, and religious facilities on the proposed fee sheet between members of the Council and Director Siegel. The question was called in favor of the Ordinance on First Reading via a roll call vote:  Councilmember Patrick Fiore - YES  Mayor Karyn Cunningham - YES  Councilmember Steve Cody - YES  Vice Mayor Leanne Tellam - YES  Councilmember Marsha Matson - YES All voted in favor (5-0). The Ordinance passed unanimously. C. AN ORDINANCE OF THE MAYOR AND VILLAGE COUNCIL OF THE VILLAGE OF PALMETTO BAY, FLORIDA, REGARDING HEALTH BENEFITS; PROVIDING TWO YEARS OF HEALTH BENEFITS TO ALL CURRENT AND FUTURE COUNCILMEMBERS FOR EACH FOUR YEARS SERVICE ON THE COUNCIL, WITH THE BENEFIT TO BE RECEIVED FOLLOWING THE END OF THEIR SERVICE; REPEALING ORDINANCE 2017-21; AND PROVIDING FOR CODIFICATION; AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE. (Sponsored by Administration) Item 4C was moved by Councilmember Patrick Fiore. Seconded by Councilmember Steve Cody. The following persons spoke in support of the Ordinance:  Beverly Gerald (14271 SW 74th Court)  Henry Clifford (8875 SW 171 Street)  Gary Pastorella (6940 SW 142 Terrace) 11

MINUTES Special Council Meeting – July 17, 2023 Page 6 of 9 Village Manager Nick Marano reported that the Village’s fiscal impact is approximately $12,000 for two years.

The motion was seconded by Councilmember Marsha Matson. All voted in favor (5-0). The motion passed unanimously. The question was called in favor of the amended Resolution. All voted in favor (5-0).

(Sponsored by Councilmember Marsha Matson) Item 5A was moved by Councilmember Marsha Matson. Seconded by Councilmember Patrick Fiore. Councilmember Marsha Matson provided an explanation on the purpose and intent of the Resolution and reported that the Village shall select a wildlife animal to represent the Village’s commitment to wildlife by means of a village-wide context in which the animal receiving the most votes from a list developed by the Village shall be named Village wildlife animal.
