Salary Study HR/Risk Management Manager Bowne gave a presentation on the salary study by Cody & Associates, Inc that was introduced at the July 20, 2026 Commission Meeting.

11/03/2026 Commission Meeting Page 2 of 5 Motion made by Commissioner Goldman to approve and implement the salary study; seconded by Commissioner Smith. Motion was called by a roll call vote. Ayes: Smith, Goldman, Livsey, Dobkowski SCHEDULED AUDIENCE a. Belleview CEP Not in attendance UNSCHEDULED AUDIENCE: a. Ed Abshier Mr. Abshier expressed concerns regarding water and sewer impact fees for two projects. The first involves a new building on C25A owned by Mr. Violette, consisting of four 1,250-square- foot office and storage units with one bathroom each. Mr. Abshier stated that the City's minimum flow requirement of 150 gallons per day per service significantly exceeds the anticipated usage, resulting in approximately $15,000 in impact fees. He requested consideration of a master meter to avoid excessive fees. The second client he is representing involves the former Pulaski Club, which was sold and is proposed for use as a rental venue for weddings, receptions, and family gatherings. Mr. Abshier noted that the building's capacity has decreased from 309 to 127 occupants per the Fire Department, and the existing kitchen and appliances have been removed, reducing anticipated water usage. He expressed concern that impact fees based on current criteria may exceed the property's actual usage and recommended allowing fees to be adjusted based on consumption. He stated that the City could recover additional fees if usage exceeds projected amounts, providing a more equitable approach for both property owners and the City. Mayor Dobkowski directed Public Works Director Titterington to gather information to bring to the Commission at the next meeting. PWD Titterington explained that the water management district generally discourages master meters as they prevent tracking individual water usage. The City typically requires individual meters for each business to ensure accurate consumption tracking and billing. Master meters may be permitted when individual meters are also installed, as is done in some mobile home parks. Commissioner Goldman exited the meeting at 6:51 PM. Commissioner Smith expressed concerns regarding the use of one master meter for four units, noting that the property owner would be responsible for the water bill and could face financial difficulties if tenants failed to pay or vacated their units. Mr. Abshier did not view that as an issue. Commissioner Smith acknowledged the anticipated low water usage and stated that impact fees should be reviewed, as high costs have discouraged small businesses from opening in the City.

11/03/2026 Commission Meeting Page 3 of 5 Commissioner Goldman re-entered the meeting at 6:55 PM. Mayor Dobkowski exited the meeting at 6:55 PM and returned at 6:57 PM b. Ronnie Woods Mr. Woods presented information on the Respect the Flag Challenge and requested permission to host the gathering at City Hall on Veteran’s Day, referencing the ability to have the event per Section 10.4 of the City code. Commissioner Smith stated he spoke to Mr. Woods the previous week and let him know he would need to obtain permission. Mayor Dobkowski mentioned a policy prohibiting events at City Hall. Attorney Landt clarified that Code Section 10.4 addresses alcohol service on City property, not gatherings generally, and would only apply if alcohol was served. He also noted that the policy regarding events is not an ordinance. Administrator Moody stated that she believes a policy was established to prohibit large events at City Hall due to safety concerns, particularly traffic along US 441. Motion made by Commissioner Goldman to approve the Respect the Flag gathering at City Hall; seconded by Commissioner Smith. Attorney Landt interjected that if the Commission would like to grant the request, he suggests that the motion include language that it makes an exception to the City’s policy. Commissioner Goldman proposed a friendly amendment to include the language, which was accepted by Commissioner Smith. Motion was called by a roll call vote.

Public Works: Contract Extension for Lift Station Emergency Repairs & Rehabilitation Public Works Director Titterington requested approval of a one-year extension of the agreement with RCM Utilities, LLC effective October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2027. Although the

11/03/2026 Commission Meeting Page 4 of 5 agreement expired, both parties have continued operating under its terms, and the proposed extension will formalize that continuation. All other provisions of the agreement will remain unchanged. Motion made by Commissioner Goldman to approve the extension of the agreement with RCM Utilities; seconded by Commissioner Smith. Motion was called by a roll call vote. Ayes: Smith, Goldman, Livsey, Dobkowski e. Public Works: State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection Grant for Rehabilitation of Critical Lift Stations PWD Titterington stated that the city applied for a legislative grant to rehabilitate lift stations 19, 24 and 31. The estimated cost of the project is approximately $550,000. The city received a legislative grant in the amount of $206,250. The work will be completed by RCM Utilities, LLC under the contract for lift station emergency repairs and rehabilitation. Staff recommended approval of the grant agreement and approve the Mayor to execute the contract. Motion made by Commissioner Livsey to approve Grant Agreement L0409 and approve Mayor Dobkowski to execute contract; seconded by Commissioner Smith. Motion was called by a roll call vote. Ayes: Smith, Goldman, Livsey, Dobkowski f. Public Works: PWD Titterington said that the City has received a proposal from Duke Energy to replace all of the sodium street lights to LED. This upgrade will result in reduced energy costs and the lights will be much brighter. The Commission held a short discussion about the benefits of brighter lights around the City. Motion made by Commissioner Smith to permit the change from sodium street lights to LED; seconded by Commissioner Goldman. Motion was called by a roll call vote.

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.

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

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
