Regular Meeting Notes September 5, 2024 Dunedin City Commission Success does not happen in a vacuum; there is a lot of hard work by the kids , the dedication by them , and their families and extended families. They had 30 practices and 10 games in about a 6-to-7-week time period; there was a lot of rain and a lot of stop and start , particularly here at home and when they got to the State tournament. As a result of all that work, the boys won the District 14 Championship, which is very competitive locally , and Section 7, which covered a lot of the Bay Area for the first time in 11 years. They went to the Panhandle and before leaving talked about not only representing themselves , their families and the league, but the City of Dunedin and they were awesome. There were many compliments on their behavior , their attitude , and their hustle; the City would have been extremely proud. Behind all this is the dedication by the City including Pete Wells , Chris Hoban , Brian Elliott , and his entire crew ; they always supported them. He related a story of when their district tournament hosted over at Countryside on the championship Sa turday ; they were in the middle of the second game of the day for everything. The sky opened up and they were in a delay ; someone said it was dry in Dunedin and with an hour to an hour and a half delay, he drove over to Dunedin and ran into Brian, who had heard what was happening and that Dunedin was winning and they have to move the game. Brian said he would have three fields ready in 30 minutes and he did it. Not only did they move the Majors tournament, but they moved two others that were going on simultaneously. Mr . lonata introduced the coaches, team moms , and players. Mr. lonata thanked the City for all the decades of support given to Recreation and the whole community in that sense. The City has the best-maintained facilities anywhere in the district. On behalf of the Commission, City Manager , and everyone in the entire City, Mayor Bujalski stated the team makes them proud and emphasized that Dunedin is a baseball city. She recalled when there were two different leagues in the City and when the City decided they were going to make the fields better; they were not going to have players standing outside Publix asking for money for lights on the fields. She is very proud; the team did great and she thanked them for all the hard work and noted that being in a team sport teaches all sorts of leadership for the future . 1.b. CEQS 2024 Dunedin Environmental Hero Awards Sustainability Program Manager Natalie Gass introduced Committee on Environmental Quality & Sustainability (CEQS) Chair Howard Gray and Past Chair Kathryn Owen . Mr. Gray and Ms. Owen presented the 2024 Dunedin Environmental Hero Awards and briefly reviewed their work and accomplishments in the community.

Regular Meeting Notes September 5, 2024 1.c. National Constitution Week Proclamation - Sept. 17-23, 2024 Dunedin City Commission Commissioner Walker read the National Constitution Week Proclamation, urging all citizens to join with the Caladesi Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), along with DAR Chapters across America , in honoring and recalling the importance of our rights under the Constitution by public display of our Nation's flag during National Constitution Week. Laurie Cuffie, Regent of DAR Caladesi Chapter , accepted the proclamation and commented : The American Revolution was one of ideas and ideals; the main idea was that each person has certain inalienable, God-given rights. The purpose of government is not to dispense those rights, but to protect them by being the servant and not the master of the people. This brand of new ideas led to the drafting of the United States Constitution signed on September 17 , 1787 , at 4:00 p.m., the oldest written Constitution still in use today. Nearly 800 have followed it. In 1955 , the DAR asked Congress to make the week of September 17 - 23 dedicated to the Constitution, and President Eisenhower agreed in August. The DAR encourages our citizens and future citizens to become better acquainted with the U.S. Constitution by reading and understanding what rights and duties we have. Everyone is invited to visit their Constitutional display at the Dunedin Public Library this entire month. She thanked the City Commission for helping the DAR promote awareness of our nation's greatest treasure and presented the Constitution Flag to fly over City Hall from September 17th, Constitution and Citizenship Day, through September 23 rd • CITIZEN INPUT Mayor Bujalski advised now was the time for anyone in the audience who wished to speak on a topic that is not already on the agenda. Rob Cozen commented: As Chair of the Dunedin Military Veterans Advisory Committee and at the request of the committee , he reiterated their Letter of Recommendation regarding the renaming of Stirling Park to the Donald Roebling Veteran Park. While it is not within the purview of their committee to talk about the use of the park, the Amphibious Assault Vehicle (Alligator) that sits in front of the V.F.W. is a reminder of the contribution Dunedin gave to winning World War II. Renaming the park after its designer, Donald Roebling , is a worthy tribute to a man who brought this patriotic theme to our town. As the Rear Commodore of the Dunedin Boat Club , he spoke for their membership in thanking everyone for their support as noted in the great feature article in the Dunedin Beacon last month. In a couple of years, they will be celebrating their 100 th Birthday. The Dunedin Boat Club is one of the few remaining iconic touchstones to Dunedin's long and historic maritime legacy. Keeping that clubhouse intact and strong celebrates our past as an investment in maintaining the character of our town. On November 11, 2024, at 11 :00 a.m., they will come to Pioneer Park to celebrate Veterans ' Day, the opportunity as a community to recognize and give thanks to our men and women in uniform and reminder of the astronomically high cost of freedom. They hope once again , as is the custom, to bring Commanders of the V.F.W., the American Legion, and Military Order of Purple Heart to receive the City's proclamation prior to it being read at the ceremony. 24-3

Regular Meeting Notes September 5, 2024 Dunedin City Commission Eric Curtis of 51 Main Street , (the Marina) a Marina tenant and member of the Marina Advisory Committee commented : He has concerns regarding moving forward on replacing existing Marina infrastructure. All-new docks sound great if truly needed , but at what cost to Marina tenants? The Marina Fund should have been adjusted over 10 years ago for the dock work if it is really needed. Real and actual new slip increases need to be shown and not percentages because the majority of people can 't figure out the real value. Ten percent (10%) compounded over every year for 5 years was the rate study just adopted; however, it did not consider an all new rebuild. There should be a cost analysis for rebuilding or replacing to determine if there is a waste of money . He is hearing a lot of statements from the City Commission with no records to back them up ; of concern are key words including corrosion on hardware; deterioration; worn deck needing to go; dangerous boat ramp ; and so on. He has requested a report about the dangerous boat ramp which does not exist , because no one has been reported to be injured there . He also requested a report on the condition of the current docks, but no reports exist. There is a piling condition report from 2023 showing out of hundreds of pilings ; there might be five bad pilings, of which he thought a few were replaced. He also heard the Marina Advisory Committee said that aluminum docks were good; however, it was not discussed that repairs or anything else was possible . It was fixed docks or concrete docks , and the aluminum docks were brought up at the last meeting. The only way to get to the bottom of this issue is to hire a Marine Engineer who is qualified to determine the condition of the docks and can supply an estimate if they are hired to perform the scope . In his op inion , the pier shou ld be looked at for repairs or replacement due to its location and the environment it is in. He noted this is a Park issue and not so much a Marina issue. As a Marina tenant, his question is why does the City Commission vote on this matter when the Marina tenants are actual people paying for the upgrades? If the next dredge can be prolonged by stopping materials from outside areas from the parks being washed into the marina basin, he has pictures of it. Response City Manager Bramley advised the City is expecting a response to a request for a scope and fee schedule for the Marina Engineer to assess the condition of Docks A, B, and C. Oral Matthews of 434 Palmetto Street commented regarding adaptive sports in Dunedin and Pinellas County and getting time at the Recreation Center to be able to use sports chairs for practice. Also , if they could park down by the water, they could roll all the way to Clearwater and back and go in that gym with others. He noted he did join the American Legion as was suggested to him. The Move United organization is both for Veterans and civilians that participated. Perhaps Dunedin could host some of their events. Duane Wright of 250 New York Avenue commented: He has lived in Dunedin for over 25 years ; in that time , he was honored to serve on the Board of Adjustment and Appeal (BAA) and was one of the original architects on the Architectural Review Committee (ARC). He adv ised all citizens that attend these meetings will find them very 24-4

Regular Meeting Notes September 5, 2024 Dunedin City Commission knowledgeable and suggested coming in person , as what happens before the camera rolls and afte r are very inspir ing . Those on the dais are well aware he has attended almost every City Commission meeti ng for six years in the old City Hall. Although citizens can monitor these meetings before the cameras roll , he is known as be ing a tad overzealous when it comes to being an advocate for access ibility and will continue to be so . The good news is he is moving to Italy ; however , he is still one mouse click away. His life here in Dunedin is very memorable, good and bad ; the good outweighs the bad. Listening to those who spoke tonight , he would remind all the citizens in Dunedin to get the government they partic ipate in. Piggybacking off the Constitution , they need to show up and listen and be involved. One of his little pet peeves is people calling the Commission a "Council. " He wished everyone luck and he appreciates the involvement of the Commission knowing what they get paid , which is not enough. There are plenty of boards and committees that still need membership and he asked that citizens please get involved. Mayor Bujalski thanked Mr. Wright for His service to the City. Seeing and hearing no one else wishing to speak , Mayor Bujalski moved to the next agenda item . 2. ACTION ITEMS 2.a. Second Reading of Ordinance 24-22 of the City of Dunedin, Florida amending Section 107-41.1, Unlawful Noise, of the City of Dunedin Land Development Code to provide for interpretive clarity related to amplified sound and to clarify amplified sound may be heard outside the property line on New Years Eve and may never exceed a weighted 65 Decibel measured at the property line. City Attorney Cowan read Ordinance 24-22 by title only. MOTION: Motion was made by Vice Mayor Freaney and seconded by Commissioner Gow to adopt Ordinance 24-22 on second reading , amending Section 107-41.1 , Unlawful No ise , of the City of Dunedin Land Development Code Staff Presentation City Manager Bramley advised she would give her full presentation the same as at the Local Planning Agency and first reading in consideration of those who were not in attendance at those meetings ; also , there is information regarding activity that occurred in the intervening period between first and second reading. Before the City Commission this evening is Ordinance 24-22 , amending Chapter 107-41.1 of the Code of Ordinances pertaining to unlawful sound. This item was before the Local Planning Agency on July 29 , 2024. The Board heard the staff presentation and also testimony from members of the public. The Board voted unanimously to forward a favorable recommendation to the City Commission. The City Commission then held the first reading of the ordinance on August 1, 2024 , and voted to approve first reading and set the second reading for this evening with some comments , which staff has followed up on . This ordinance has been advertised in accordance with all notice requ irements. The purpose of this amendment is to clarify language in the ordinance that has at ti mes caused confusion , and also to include a prov ision extending hours on New Years ' Eve that 24-5

Regular Meeting Notes September 5, 2024 Dunedin City Commission was previously approved by a previous Commission by resolution; however , resolutions are not enforceable. The unlawful noise ordinance was adopted in 2008 after a great deal of discussion by the community , the City Commission , and the Local Planning Agency at that time. Prior to that , to engender input from the community in 2007 , the City Commission convened a Live , Work, Play , Sleep Task Force. The Task Force was assisted by an Acous tical Consultant; she read the minutes of those meetings and it was amazing how similar those discussions were to the Business , Resident , City Task Force (BRC). Minutes show that there was lengthy discussion surrounding "A" weighted versus "C" weighted measu rements and permissible decibel levels ; the Commission went with the "A" weighted measurements. Section 107-41.1 (c) states regarding unlawful noise: C) The production of sound, including sounds from any amplifier , phonograph, hi-fi, stereo, tape player, compact disc or digital sound system or other type of sound broadcasting or sound amplification device, whether from moving vehicles, vessels, or stationary locations that exceeds an A-weighted decibel threshold of 65 Db , measured at the property line of the complainant or which otherwise creates a nuisance. Such items include, but are not limited to, loudspeakers , boom boxes , and car radios. Sound created in a public park or on other public lands which exceeds an A-weighted decibel threshold of 65 Db measured (1) at the location of the complainant or (2) from a distance of 100 feet from the source of the sound , whichever is less or which otherwise creates a nuisance is unlawful. This Subsection C establishes that unlawful noise in the City of Dunedin is any sound, which exceeds 65 dB at the property line of the complainant and that would apply 7 days a week , 24 hours a day. Section 107-41.1 (H) states: H) Amplified sound , whether music or any other form of sound, that may be heard outside of the property line from which the amplified sound is generated after 11 :00 p.m . until 7:00 a.m. any day of the week. This violation includes sound generated inside a structure or outside a structure. Sound , which may be heard because of the opening of doors as persons enter and leave the structure that momentarily exceeds an A-weighted decibel threshold of 65 Db measured at the property line of the property from which the sound is generated is not a violation of this standard. City Manager Bramley continued: This section of the unlawful noise ordinance has caused confusion since the adoption of the ordinance. Taken literally , this section of the Code requires essentially silence. Ambient sound is measured at 45 to 50 decibels. Also, given the way that the sound flows in waves , if there is no sound generated from the inside or the outside of the structure , why would the door swing matter? There were a series of clarifications from the City officials prior to adoption of the ordinance and thereafter . The ordinance was adopted and she cited those clarifications in her memorandum dated February 12, 2024 , to Captain Melvin Jackson. Captain Jackson , our North District Commander , was in attendance tonight. 24-6

Regular Meeting Notes September 5, 2024 Dunedin City Commission Before getting into the clarifications , it is important to note that what we are doing today at second reading is to resolve this confusion and establish a clear method as to how to enforce this ordinance. On May 7, 2008 , Sergeant C. Laughlin of the Pinellas County Sheriffs Office (PCSO) Community Policing Unit made the following recommendations regarding the draft ordinance to former City Manager Rob DeSpirito. He said: 1) Use the "A" rated decibel rating system. 2) Set the threshold at 65 decibels for live outside amplified music. 3) Enforcement of this decibel level will be at the point of the receiver, receivership by the complainant. 4) The business owners will be required to monitor decibel levels. 5) No outside live amplified music after 11 :00 p.m., 7 days a week. These parameters speak to the original intent of the ordinance. On July 7, 2008 , Harry Gross , then Assistant City Manager described the parameters of the noise ordinance in a memorandum of the City Manager as follows: Introduces an "A" weighted decibel threshold standard to determine whether amplified sound is unlawful. Sets the "A" weighted decibel level at 65 decibels. Establishes the point of measurement at the property line of the complainant. Establishes that no amplified music be played outdoors after 11 :00 p.m., 7 days of the week. Clarification similar to those already described above occurred in January 5, 2009. On January 5, 2009, Greg Rice, Director of Community Development at that time wrote to City Attorney John Hubbard, which stated "As an example , the business has amplified music within the structure . The time is 11 :30 p.m. A person places the dB meter at the property line of the business and measures the dB. The resultant measurement is 55 dB. At this point, no violation of the ordinance has occurred. A customer leaves the business by opening a door and exiting the building. At the moment the doors open , the dB reading increases to 68 dB. The door closes and the dB reading returns to 50 dB, no violation of the ordinance has occurred" (Exhibit D). On January 15 , 2009 , he wrote that he did ask the City Attorney for clarification; he said that the intent of the ordinance was essentially that the 65-decibel standard would be maintained; it just moves to the property line of the source of the music after 11 :00 p.m. City Manager Bramley commented the intent is very clear in the public record. She did reach out directly to Harry Gross , former Assistant City Manager and the City's Project Manager at the time, to ensure she was understanding the minutes of the meeting and understanding the emails and the statements regarding the importance of this ordinance. Mr . Gross confirmed the City's position in 2007 and 2008. She did check with deputies who worked in the City's Community Policing Division as far back as 2014/2015, specifically Terrance Fallahee. She spoke with him again this morning to clarify. Deputy Fallahee, who was in attendance this evening, trained new deputies in the use of the decibel readers and implementation of the unlawful noise ordinance not only in Dunedin, but throughout Pinellas County. He confirmed the above statements : that unlawful noise is anything over 65 decibels measured from the property line of the 24-7

Regular Meeting Notes September 5, 2024 Dunedin City Commission complainant before 11 :00 p.m. and anything over 65 decibels measured from the property line of the source of the noise after 11 :00 p.m. City Manager Bramley referred to the proposed amendments to the ordinance shown on the screen for viewing in legislative draft , also called a "strikethrough "; anything underlined is what is proposed to be incorporated into the ordinance and anything with a line through it is proposed to be deleted. H) Amplified sound generated outside of a structure , whether music or any other form of sound , that may be heard outside the property line from which the amplified sound is generated after 11 :00 p.m. until 7:00 a.m. any day of the week, except on December 31st from 11:00 p.m. until 12:30a.m. on January 1st. This violation includes sound generated inside a structuFe or outside a structuFe. I) Amplified sound generated inside of a structure, exceeding A-weighted 65 dB, that may be heard outside the property line from which the amplified sound is generated after 11 :00 p.m. until 7:00 a.m. any day of the week, except on December 31st from 11 :00 p.m. until 12:30a.m. on January 1st. Amplified sSound , which may be heard because of the opening of doors as persons enter and leave the structure that momentarily exceeds an A-weighted decibel threshold of 65 Qe dB measured at the property line of the property from which the sound is generated is not a violation of this standard . City Manager Bramley reiterated those are clarifications of the noise ordinance and explained those are the proposed amendments to the noise ordinance and advised: There was a great deal of public input during the course of first reading and there were some things the Commission requested she look into, with direction to work with the Pinellas County Sheriffs Office to ensure there is a Deputy dedicated to the downtown issues until 3:00 a.m. Deputy CPOs Nocera and Skypack were in attendance, and City Manager Bramley advised they are dedicated in the downtown until 11 :00 p.m. The Commission was clear they wanted someone dedicated specifically to noise in the Downtown until 3:00 a.m. She conveyed that to Captain Jackson , who responded in the positive that a Deputy will be dedicated until 3:00 a.m. It is important that this Deputy is thoroughly trained in the noise ordinance; the City wants consistency in that position and Captain Jackson has agreed to those parameters. That Deputy is not in place right now , as work is still being done as to what exactly that will look like in terms of shift differential and so forth. The Commission had requested she look specifically into chronic compla ints from the community that are unfounded; the quote was "chronic complaints from people who weaponize the ordinance ." Mayor Bujalski asked her to bring back what could be done about that and what the PCSO has in place to that end. The Sheriffs Office has to roll on every complaint ; if anything , it would be amendments to the Dunedin Code of Ordinances subject to consensus direction by the City Commission, and staff would look into that and bring back a proposal at some point in the future. She would like to look at best practices in other cities, as she is sure other cities have a similar type ordinance. There were several e-comments sent in on the issue. City staff is recommending the City Commission approve Ordinance 24-22 at second reading . 24-8

Regular Meeting Notes September 5, 2024 Questions for Staff Dunedin City Commission Mayor Bujalski referred to a question in one of the e-comments regarding the comparison of Dunedin 's noise ordinance at 65 dB and Pinellas County's at 55 dB from 11 :00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. She asked for clarification and noted she looked it up and Pinellas County's is in residential areas. Community Development Director Kinney advised he was not familiar with the Pinellas County regulations on the noise ordinance; he can research that and provide clarification. In regards to the chronic complaints , Vice Mayor Freaney thought that in the future there could be some way to communicate to the Commission when there is a significant chronic complainant. Possibly it would help in understanding what is going on downtown. City Manager Bramley noted it does not pertain to only noise; there are other areas where there are chronic complaints and they cannot be anonymous and they are unfounded, so it would pertain to other issues Citywide as well. Mayor Bujalski commented the Sheriffs Office has dealt with this on many different issues over the years, and they have a feeling for how many times would be considered chronic. It is not always as simple as having three unfounded complaints and getting a ticket ; it is complicated. City Manager Bramley noted the Deputies can be proactive and some residents are hesitant to call in a complaint. Commissioner Tornga expressed concern regarding calling something "chronic" and the right to ask someone to investigate. He noted the Sheriffs Deputies are not always out to arrest or adjudicate if an arrest is not needed; sometimes it is to clarify or explain what needs to happen. He thought some of the words are quite confusing to people. Things are being added and changed; his concern is again the constant requirement of this measurement the City has had up to now. If there is an ordinance where it says a violation includes all sound , any sound and then you can't have it anymore , he did not know what happens with this. The problem is also that in thinking about the Comprehensive Plan and the Strategic Plan, the attempt is to provide a living environment where people can feel comfortable living in that environment; he is not sure this has done that. He believed this might be something being placed in front of the Commission right now that may not solve that; he recalled he did vote for this before, but asked to go slow on both issues. On this one , there will be adjudication by the Sheriff on the outside until 11 :00, but maybe now for other reasons until 3:00 a.m. He asked if this really resolves the issue, as he has talked to people who do not believe it does; he asked if it is going too fast and if this affects everything outside downtown Dunedin. He noted there are some new facilities coming in place and he was not sure they understood this as well. City Manager Bramley acknowledged that it does affect everything outside the downtown and responded: She does believe it will resolve the issue and that is because it does not change the generation of the noise and level of the noise. It clarifies where the reading is taken and when. 24-9

Regular Meeting Notes September 5, 2024 Dunedin City Commission The 65 dB is the sound of a conversation three feet away ; if you are, for example, 30 feet away , then it is lower than 65 dB. After 11 :00 p.m. , if you are in the living room and you hear no ise you think is too loud , then the Sheriff is very clear that the deputies are going to the source of the noise at that property line and will take a decibel reading; at the source of the complaint , it should be well below 65 dB. In some areas downtown, there is a common property line between the commercial and the residential; in that case, it will be 65 dB at that property line and it would be a little less at the source of the complainant as well. Since the clarification memo and before , she has been working very closely with Captain Jackson as far as the calibration of the decibel readers and how this ordinance is enforced , and the situation has gotten better in terms of the noise ordinance itself. The whole purpose of th is is to make it very clear on how to enforce this ordinance for the deputies. They agreed in discussions that this was the simplest way to ensure consistent enforcement and concise for everyone throughout the City . Public Input Mayor Bujalski opened the item to public input. Kandi Bryant of 1050 Marine Street, Clearwater thanked City Manager Bramley for the research and the memorandum and commented: She was on the origina l task force for the noise ordinance implemented in 2008 and has always known the intent. Dunedin Brewery was always in compliance; they kept the decibel reader on hand and kept logs of the sound levels j ust in case of an issue . They also kept a noise ordinance file behind the bar and educated their employees on the rules. They had no problems in the first 10 years. In 2018/2019 , they started getting visits from the Sheriff. They me t with the Sheriff and the City and presented the interpretation from the past Assistant City Manager that showed the intent. The Sheriff acknowledged their proof and they had no more issues for the next couple of years. In 2021 , she learned that a resident who does not even live downtown was trying to get the noise ordinance looked at by the Ordinance Review Committee. She and her husband attended the July ORC meeting , and when they spoke about the history of the sound ordinance, this individual proceeded to slander them in front of the committee. At that time, the committee agreed not to make any changes to the sound ordinance, wh ich was good . From March 2023 unt il April 2024 , a resident at the Artisan was allowed to call the Sheriff on them more than 20 times in the span of that year. They had almost bi-weekly visits by the Sheriff and harassment of their employees and customers , who had no clue why they were be ing targeted and why the Sheriff was showing up all the time. They asked for help from the City and the Sheriff and from the owner of the Artisan and the manager there , but they said they did not want to get involved . They were even told by the Sheriff on occasion that the music coming from Sonder & Woodwright was louder than theirs , but the resident targeted them so they had to come to their place and did not even measure at other places. City Manager Bramley 's memorandum regarding the clarification of the sound ordinance brought that to an end , or so they thought. The bad guys found a new weapon , which was the City Commission. As was shown by some of the Commissioners' comments at the end of the first reading, she watched and she wanted to say they did not say what was indicated 24-10

Regular Meeting Notes September 5, 2024 Dunedin City Commission to the Artisan ; it was not them and she did not know who it was and she did not know if it was bad information or what. She is hop ing to p~t it on the record that it was not them. Sean Newton of 1714 Santa Anna Drive commented : He has lived in Dunedin since he was seven years old , and when he was younger he helped his Dad when he ran for City Comm iss ioner , and he later volunteered to help with Duned in's first Skatepark; this town means a lot to him . He has had the pleasure of watching it grow and change over the years. With change , there will always be growing pains. While he understands the need for sound ord inances and decibel limits and where they are read , they should not be revised to be more restrictive as this would put unnecessary burden on local businesses . The zoning in Dunedin has not changed for many years ; there is no current zon ing encroachment going into residential neighborhoods allowing restaurants or bars to pop up in someone 's backyard . While he understands and feels the residents have had these growing pains , there are residents who have had growing pains over the vibrant downtown , but he does not thi nk it is fair to shut down the whole City due to decibels being slightly louder than a normal conversation. Nor does he feel the 11 :00 p.m. vacate rule should be allowed or enforced ; the restaurants and bars count on the late evening hours and it has allowed the downtown area to thrive . Any additional restr ictions would harm the future and culture of our bright Dunedin. This will never be an Ybor ; there is a good thing going with music , dancing , art , and an energetic night life that keep people visiting and moving here. Let's not go backwards. John Shine of 217 Aberdeen Street disclosed he is a candidate for Mayor and commented: There have been two things that actually changed, and let's not pretend it is the words on a piece of paper that have been changed. The enforcement has changed , both proact ive and reactive , along with the fact that there is a Sheriff's Officer there to enforce beyond 11 :00 p.m. A situation is being created where the enforcement officer has to have a measure of success; one has not been set. A measure of success has not been created, so it is not known if this ordinance is successful or not , nor will that ever be known because a measure of success has not been set. What has been set is expectations on the sides of the businesses , residents , customers of the business , and the law enforcement officers that have to enforce it. The thing that has not changed is the businesses' ability to control and regulate no ise. Nothing has been done with that. What has been done is that an ordinance has been created with high expectations and increased enforcement with no idea how to measure that success, but they are going to implement it. He suspects that at least two , if not three of the Commissioners , will have to fix this in the future. Right now , few of them have a vested interest in the future because many of them are on their way out. He did not understand why they would try to implement this on their way out ; it does not make any sense because they have no vested interest in either the success or failure. Mr. Shine then addressed individual Commissioners and reiterated some of his prev ious remarks. He continued that he understood reactive enforcement because someone compla ined ; however , he did not understand proactive enforcement because who is complaining and 24-11

Regular Meeting Notes September 5, 2024 Dunedin City Commission whe re is the problem and what is the catalyst for that , and how is the measure of success when that officer at 2:00 a.m. has to show up on his own.? Michael L. Bryant of 518 Beltrees Street commented : He wanted to respond to the concern about changes being too fast , noting this is just a clar ification of the original intent. It is how it was enforced for at least ten years until they first had a problem , and that was corrected in about three or four months after that mis- enforcement started and they were back to normal. In the last year, they had another time when suddenly the enforcement was getting it wrong again ; the efforts by City Manager Bramley echo exactly what his parents and others on the Live , Work , Play , Sleep Task Force found and determined and what was ultimately voted on by the Commission. He does not think there is much worry ; he does think many more people are involved in the conversation. They have been trying to make noise about this for six years now , and here it is six years later ; a lot more people know about this problem and a lot more can weaponize it if that is their choice. The whole goal should be to lead these people with the attitude which he thought should be that not much is changing; it's a clarification. He would hope the Commission would lead in that format, as he believes that is what City Manager Bramley is doing here: simply clarifying something that already exists. In terms of history , he has been running the Brewery for fifteen years now, and in that time , he has booked and hosted over 3,000 concerts with no violations. The one violation they did get was reneged. They have spent over $2 .5 Million to invest in live music in downtown Dunedin to attract visitors all through the county and the tri-county area alongside national acts ; they have Grammy-award winning musicians and artists that come to our town, as well as producers . The Brewery has been there for a long time ; they don't grow because they reinvest in the communi ty. He hopes all that money was not in vain . An eComment was submitted by Dan Gerson : Paragraph I) is ambiguous regarding where and how amplified sound should be measured for loudness . Is the sound measured inside the structure at the source of the amplified sound, or is it measured at the properly line? If a sound that is generated within the structure is then "heard" at the properly line , does that indicate a violation? What dB level is meant by the word "heard" as a criteria for threshold of sound? By comparison , paragraph C) provides specific criteria for sound level and the location where the sound will be measured: "... that exceeds an A-weighted decibel threshold of 65 Db dB , measured at the properly line ... " There is no doubt in C) that sound is measured with a device at the properly line whereas in I) , the criteria for measurement may be a person 's perception of sound level at the properly line rather than a measurement with a meter that produces a specific number. Once I) is corrected, I would support the Ordinance . An eComment was submitted by Jane Pendley: I am troubled by the city 's handling of this process . There is a lot of confusion in community as to the changes of noise ordinance , there are many inaccurate interpretations. City Staff has not been transparent informing residents . * The original draft of the outdoor dining ordinance from the consultant included the vacate. The new quiet hours would be from 3 a.m . to 7 a.m. in Dunedin versus 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. in Pinellas County. We are paying consultants to advise , why not use the advice . * The proposed amendment would allow noise levels overnight in Dunedin to be twice as loud as in Pinellas County (65dB in Dunedin versus 55dB in the county) . * The information presented by George Kinney, Director of Community Development was vague as to impact this amendment 24 - 12

Regular Meeting Notes · September 5, 2024 Dunedin City Commission change has on Dunedin. Not enough information about late night businesses in Dunedin was presented to make decision. Please , this noise amendment needs more consideration before making decision . An eComment was submitted by Melissa McCormick: The ordinance states : WHEREAS , the City Commission finds that enacting this Ordinance is consistent with its Comprehensive Plan This amendment DOESN'T meet the commitment made to the residents in the Strive for 2035 Comp.Plan , dated 1017/2021 , amended 1/26/23 : i. Comprehensive Plan Policy 2.5.1: "The City shall ensure that existing residential areas are protected from the incompatible non-residential activities. " ii. Comprehensive Plan Policy 2. 5. 2. "Existing residential areas shall be located and designed to protect life and property from natural & manmade hazards such as excessive traffic, NOISE, and deterioration of structures. " iii. Comprehensive Plan Policy 2.6.4. "The City shall establish provisions whereby neighborhood commercial development is ... located convenient to residential areas , but not in a manner that will adversely affect the quality of life of the community it serves. " At a minimum , a specific enforcement plan needs to be in place prior to implementing. I OPPOSE An eComment was submitted by Michael Bryant: This clarification/amendment comes from the City Manager's due diligence of public record and history. I commend her work and support the small much needed clarification that eliminates subjective enforcement and problems . An eComment was submitted by Ralph Shenefelt: I am a resident property owner immediately adjacent to but not within the City's Entertainment District (ED) . I support the amended unlawful noise (24-22) and Outdoor Dining (24-23) ordinances as drafted. I also respectfully request that the city budget for and that the PCSO provide law enforcement services in the ED between the hours of 11 :00 pm and 3:00 am. We need a professional law enforcement presence in these hours not as the result of an after-the-fact response to call volume , but rather, to promote ordinance compliance ; as a deterrent to drunken , miscreant behavior; and for the comfort, health , peace , and safety of all ED stakeholders ; including but not limited to downtown residents , tourists , workers , and business owners. Mayor Bujalski inquired if anyone else wished to speak; hearing and seeing none, she closed the public input. Commission Comments Vice Mayor Freaney commented : She did think this was a clarification long overdue. She thanked Kandi and Michael Bryant for their comments. She also had a talk with Michael Bryant about different issues and came away feeling good about the direction the Commission is trying to go with everyone working together. As it relates to this particular ordinance with the clarification long overdue, she is fully supportive . Commissioner Gow agreed this is a clarification and it is not really rewriting or creating an ordinance. He also had a very long meeting with Mike and Michael ; it was a good meeting with good insight. He was supportive at the first reading and is good with it now. The "noise " around this is still of concern in terms of who we are as a community. It is up to the community to decide who and what we are. Commissioner Walker echoed his colleagues , noting he had a learning curve as a new Commissioner . He did a thorough review of the old ordinance and what was before the Commission for the second reading. This completely clarifies a very unclarified situation. This created a burden on the entire community in the effort to enforce an ordinance that was not 24-13

Regular Meeting Notes September 5, 2024 Dunedin City Commission enforceable; he thinks this does that. No ordinance is perfect ; however, this is a step in the right direction. Regarding the CPO being "on the beat ," this is proactive enforcement. Many businesses have agreements with their entertainment in which the entertainment essentially acknowledges they have to stop at 10 :45 p.m. He thinks this is taking the right steps and is in full support the same as first reading . Commissioner Tomga commented: He accepted the ordinance on the first reading; however, he did bring out a couple of things he thought to be facts. On the procedural side , a group got together to examine several things and one was this. Out of that group, his understanding was that three of the four were not particularly happy with this and did not feel this resolved their question as to "cohabitating" within the downtown ; that did not make him feel very comfortable. Then , as he tried to look at this as an ordinance that then spreads through the entirety of Dunedin , he really wanted more people involved in what was happening because a lot of this seems to be some misunderstandings or just an inability to understand what is trying to be done and that it is affected properly. Having a Sheriff walking around town in the hours from 11 :00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m. , when that is not happening now because of the sound ordinance, sounds to him that maybe this has not been solved yet. That is why he was asking to go slow. He will be voting to approve this unlawful noise ordinance. Mayor Bujalski agreed with her colleagues that this is just an adjustment and commented: She thinks this should have been done years ago and it would have been better. She expressed appreciation to City Manager Bramley for bringing it forward and drafting the memorandum. She also thanked the Bryants for their meticulous records they kept from their meetings because that is how the City was able to get to _this place. She thought it important to say the Sheriff's Deputies are not going to be out there just looking for noise; they have other jobs to do. In terms of a measurement of success, she thinks if everyone knows what the noise levels should be and how it is supposed to be enforced and the enforcement is occurring whether proactive or called , the measurement of success is reducing the calls. If businesses know the rules they need to follow and the Sheriff knows how to actually measure it correctly from what point at what time , there should be less calls in the end. It is not certain that a Deputy will be needed until 3:00 a.m. in the downtown. Looking at how many businesses are open until 3:00 a.m. in the City , she thought it would be about ten , and they are not all in the downtown; several are in other areas. She thought the worry about the noise is what should be limited ; this clarifies it , helps for better enforcement, and it might be found there are no complaints after 11 :00 p.m. and they can decide to take it to midnight or 1:00 a.m. ; it will be a test. Also , it is important to note that when giving the Business Tax Receipts people need to acknowledge every year , they understand the noise ordinances whether they are a construction company, a restaurant , or bar. That used to be done for the licenses; they had to acknowledge and sign. She thinks they all should depending on the type of business, specifically all those that do affect noise . She does understand that noise is bothersome to the residential people and that is why that quiet time in Pinellas County is in residential zones ; this is not talking about residential zones , though it might abut a residential zone. However, she has to think that someone who buys a 24-14

Regular Meeting Notes September 5, 2024 Dunedin City Commission house right next to a commercial district understands there will be a different effect than in a single-family neighborhood. She supports the ordinance. VOTE: Motion carried with Commissioners Walker , Tornga , Gow , Freaney , and Mayor Bujalski voting aye . Voting nay: None. BREAK approx. 7:34 P.M. - 7:50 P.M. 2.b. Second Reading of Ordinance 24-23 of the City of Dunedin, Florida amending Section 107-32, Outdoor Dining Regulations, of the City of Dunedin Land Development Code to provide for outdoor hospitality and sidewalk cafe regulations and amending Appendix C, Development Charges and Impact Fees, to remove the fee for Conditional Use for outside dining and add a right-of-way use agreement fee. City Attorney Cowan read Ordinance 24-23 by title only. MOTION: Motion was made by Commissioner Gow and seconded by Commissioner Walker to adopt Ordinance 24-23 on second reading, amending Section 107-32, Outdoor Dining Regulations , of the City of Dunedin Land Development Code. Staff Presentation Director of Community Development Kinney explained he would take the same approach as City Manager Bramley and referred again to the PowerPoint presentation shown. The original Ordinance 11-38 , Land Development Code Section 107-32, was completed on December 15 , 2011. This effort is a modification to that existing ordinance. The Community Redevelopment Area (CRA) Master Plan recognized and supports both outdoor dining and sidewalk cafes. The effort began in January 2023 with the assistance of the Business, Residents, City Task Force (BRC). The committee met on several occasions over the course of the development of this recommendation and provided direction on the amendment with the focus primarily targeting the CRA. Items shown along with the evolving market conditions and trends for enhanced outdoor dining experiences is what has led to some of the changes and suggestions seen in this particular ordinance. Over the time this has been discussed, the Community Development department offered an open invitation and met with several businesses to discuss the draft ordinance , the review process , and potential development considerations. At the last count, about six businesses have participated and worked through the process of what this ordinance might look like for them if adopted in its current form. These regulations , much like the noise ordinance , are Citywide and not necessarily directed at only the CRA. From the City 's perspective , the interest is about the public health , safety and welfare , and in this case addressing the need for restrooms, parking , and means of egress. The intent of the ordinance is twofold: first, to provide for equitable regulations that can be consistently applied , and second , to clearly separate the regulations into two areas . One of these is outdoor hospitality, which is those areas that are occurring on private property and would require administrative approval through this and the existing process. 24-15

Regular Meeting Notes September 5, 2024 Dunedin City Commission The second part is the sidewalk cafe portion of the ordinance , which is those dining areas on public rights-of-way . That is a slight ly separate process that would be through a Right- of-Way Use Agreement , which has already been in play in the City for some time . In terms of the reasons for a permit: Outdoor hospitality by definition does not require a building permit if it is open and uncovered; the City would have no way to analyze the impact of that outdoor area and that is one way of bringing it into the City for review. Through the course of the review , this provides the opportunity to assure that parking , restroom facilities , and fire safety measures are provided according to both the Building Code and the Land Development Code for whatever regulations that may be applicable . Codified record is needed for compliance purposes including those issues heard about: noise , possible chronic nuisance applications , and so forth. Major Significant Changes between the existing ordinance and proposed ordinance: Separate provis ions for private property applications and right-of-way applications Inclusion of clear definitions (Appendix C) Overall size of an outdoor dining area will be subject to parking and capacity/occupancy limitations ; (self-regulating in a sense) At the first reading , staff was suggesting the current Conditional Use Process be modified to the Design Review Process; however, after hearing discussion from the Commission staff , they have put forth an amendment which reverts it back to what it used to be , which is an appearance before the Board of Adjustment and Appeal (BAA). The fee would be significantly less ; a copy of the application and the fee schedule is provided in the back-up materials, and the fee is $1,500. The 2,000 square foot area is the catalyst for appearing before the BAA; under 2,000 square feet would be administrative . Other nuances to the proposed language: The permit would be transferable if the operation and approved area remains the same , and it would also be transferable if the new owner is running the business/operation exactly the same ; if there is an expansion , a new permit would be required. Additional fencing requirements when abutting residential use. In addition to the reference to the noise ordinance, there will be a reference to the City 's Environmental provisions and more specifically Chapter 34 in the Nuisance Provisions. If there is that aforementioned "bad actor, " the City would have the authority to work through that process and look to correct or mitigate the issues on-site ; the permit could ultimately be revoked under those provisions. Vacating the property provisions have been removed in favor of the exist ing language that continues to exist in the proposed language that the area is limited to the legal hours of operation. If the brick and mortar portion of the business is open until midnight , then the outdoor dining area is open until midnight. The City has thirty zoning categories ; eleven would support this type of use . When ca lculating those zoning areas by land areas, about 5.67% of the land mass with those zon ing categories would be able to support this type of operation. 24-16

Regular Meeting Notes September 5, 2024 Dunedin City Commission Regarding past written approvals , the suggestion is that any property currently occupied by or proposing outdoor hospitality shall comply with these regulations on or prior to September 1, 2027 , with the following exceptions: 1. Any current outdoor hospitality area that has received a Conditional Use Approval shall and can continue pursuant to the conditions of that approval. 2. Any current outdoor hospitality area that has received written City permissions may continue pursuant to those written approvals. 3. Any current outdoor hospitality area that has properly applied for and received an outdoor dining permit prior to today may continue under those approvals provided the area and seating approvals authorized with that approval of not expanding . Questions for Staff Vice Mayor Freaney wanted to be sure how the process will flow if there is a "bad actor ." Mr. Kinney explained: It is education first. One of the issues for the Community Development Department is that they are not the front face to this ; it is the PCSO. He thinks the City will have to work with the PCSO and maybe understand what they are seeing on a month-to-month basis. This was tied back to the nuisance provisions; the way it works is that under Article IV, Chapter 34, a pattern of nuisance activity is established as three complaints in thirty days or seven complaints in a six-month period; the City then issues what is called a declaration of chronic nuisance if there is an issue which includes the requirement for the submission of a remediation action plan by the "bad actor ". That must be provided within 15 days of notice from the City. The City then determines the adequacy of that remediation plan, and there are factors in the nuisance provisions that spell those out, what has to be done , what can be done , and what the applicant would need to follow to come back into compliance. Failure to comply with the remediation action plan results in what is called Entry of Chronic Nuisance Service Order, at which time the City could potentially revoke the Outdoor Dining Permit. There is also an extreme provision, a step depending on whether or not it is needed ; there is a non-ad valorem assessment on real property piece to this as well. If there is a financial component for money the City is putting out to remediate or abate this situation , that can be recaptured. Vice Mayor Freaney explained she received this feedback today , which they admitted was kind of late; however, the question was why not compromise and make it 1:00 a.m. instead of 11 :00 p.m.? She asked for clarification as to why staff thought that did not make sense. City Manager Bramley responded: The issue of 1:00 a.m. or 3:00 a.m. did not come up during the course of the BRC Task Force in terms of why not compromise on that particular time frame. From the City's perspective , the conversation she and Mr. Kinney had was really regarding the enforceability. She recalled there are currently twenty-six businesses that have the Outdoor Dining Permit and have the vacate order at 11 :00 p.m. First , the Sheriffs Office is not going to vacate the premises; they are going to issue a citation, so the enforceability itself did not really meet the original intent and they did not want to bring an ordinance to the Commission that was not enforceable. 24-17

Regular Meeting Notes September 5, 2024 Dunedin City Commission The other part of it was that the residents were adamant that the vacate verbiage stay in , and the businesses were adamant that the vacate phrase come out. As part of the compromise , because of the enforceability issue from City staff's professional perspective, is they added teeth to the ordinance to protect the residents. Mr. Kinney spoke to the teeth in the ordinance to protect the residents : In essence , the noise ordinances and the nuisance provisions are the two larger ones . There are also fencing provisions with additional fencing requirements. As a requirement for submission , if the applicant is adjacent to a property being used for residential purposes , a noise attenuation plan is required to be done by an Acoustical Eng ineer. The idea was to protect those properties that were specifically adjacent to the commercial property. Mayor Bujalski asked if it is private property , is it right that people cannot be forced to go inside by law? She asked if the unenforceable piece is not being able to force people off their own private property. She noted that is essentially a curfew , which the City cannot do either . City Manager Bramley commented that was certainly one of the issues staff grappled with. Mr. Kinney commented it also seems that would be burdensome for the business owner . Mayor Bujalski noted that can be done on the public property , which is why the language was there to begin with. City Manager Bramley thought it important to note they are really adding restrictions to the outdoor dining itself and explained: There are areas right now that have outdoor dining and outdoor activity that are not regulated by parking or restrooms. If they are adjacent to residential , the wall is not in place and they are requiring that those areas come in with a permit within the next three years and essentially affect these regulations. What she and Mr . Kinney really grappled with in terms of the vacate versus no vacate issue was that they are broadening the scope of this ordinance to not just those areas that are in the right-of-way or private property and 500 square feet , but to all businesses and their outdoor areas. That was the genesis of the enforceability issue from their perspective . The outdoor dining says you have to vacate by 11 :00 p.m .; it is in the Code and the applicant signs a paper saying they heard it and they agree to vacate. The City is not requiring t

" Hav ing the Duned in Little League as the City 's partner in running the baseball and softball programs , he can assure it is all getting done . They share very similar philosophies where everybody plays , everybody wins , and everybody has fun.

Regular Meeting Notes September 5, 2024 Dunedin City Commission Success does not happen in a vacuum; there is a lot of hard work by the kids , the dedication by them , and their families and extended families. They had 30 practices and 10 games in about a 6-to-7-week time period; there was a lot of rain and a lot of stop and start , particularly here at home and when they got to the State tournament. As a result of all that work, the boys won the District 14 Championship, which is very competitive locally , and Section 7, which covered a lot of the Bay Area for the first time in 11 years. They went to the Panhandle and before leaving talked about not only representing themselves , their families and the league, but the City of Dunedin and they were awesome. There were many compliments on their behavior , their attitude , and their hustle; the City would have been extremely proud. Behind all this is the dedication by the City including Pete Wells , Chris Hoban , Brian Elliott , and his entire crew ; they always supported them. He related a story of when their district tournament hosted over at Countryside on the championship Sa turday ; they were in the middle of the second game of the day for everything. The sky opened up and they were in a delay ; someone said it was dry in Dunedin and with an hour to an hour and a half delay, he drove over to Dunedin and ran into Brian, who had heard what was happening and that Dunedin was winning and they have to move the game. Brian said he would have three fields ready in 30 minutes and he did it. Not only did they move the Majors tournament, but they moved two others that were going on simultaneously. Mr . lonata introduced the coaches, team moms , and players. Mr. lonata thanked the City for all the decades of support given to Recreation and the whole community in that sense. The City has the best-maintained facilities anywhere in the district. On behalf of the Commission, City Manager , and everyone in the entire City, Mayor Bujalski stated the team makes them proud and emphasized that Dunedin is a baseball city. She recalled when there were two different leagues in the City and when the City decided they were going to make the fields better; they were not going to have players standing outside Publix asking for money for lights on the fields. She is very proud; the team did great and she thanked them for all the hard work and noted that being in a team sport teaches all sorts of leadership for the future . 1.b. CEQS 2024 Dunedin Environmental Hero Awards Sustainability Program Manager Natalie Gass introduced Committee on Environmental Quality & Sustainability (CEQS) Chair Howard Gray and Past Chair Kathryn Owen .

Regular Meeting Notes September 5, 2024 1.c. National Constitution Week Proclamation - Sept. 17-23, 2024 Dunedin City Commission Commissioner Walker read the National Constitution Week Proclamation, urging all citizens to join with the Caladesi Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), along with DAR Chapters across America , in honoring and recalling the importance of our rights under the Constitution by public display of our Nation's flag during National Constitution Week. Laurie Cuffie, Regent of DAR Caladesi Chapter , accepted the proclamation and commented : The American Revolution was one of ideas and ideals; the main idea was that each person has certain inalienable, God-given rights. The purpose of government is not to dispense those rights, but to protect them by being the servant and not the master of the people. This brand of new ideas led to the drafting of the United States Constitution signed on September 17 , 1787 , at 4:00 p.m., the oldest written Constitution still in use today. Nearly 800 have followed it. In 1955 , the DAR asked Congress to make the week of September 17 - 23 dedicated to the Constitution, and President Eisenhower agreed in August. The DAR encourages our citizens and future citizens to become better acquainted with the U.S. Constitution by reading and understanding what rights and duties we have. Everyone is invited to visit their Constitutional display at the Dunedin Public Library this entire month. She thanked the City Commission for helping the DAR promote awareness of our nation's greatest treasure and presented the Constitution Flag to fly over City Hall from September 17th, Constitution and Citizenship Day, through September 23 rd • CITIZEN INPUT Mayor Bujalski advised now was the time for anyone in the audience who wished to speak on a topic that is not already on the agenda. Rob Cozen commented: As Chair of the Dunedin Military Veterans Advisory Committee and at the request of the committee , he reiterated their Letter of Recommendation regarding the renaming of Stirling Park to the Donald Roebling Veteran Park. While it is not within the purview of their committee to talk about the use of the park, the Amphibious Assault Vehicle (Alligator) that sits in front of the V.F.W. is a reminder of the contribution Dunedin gave to winning World War II. Renaming the park after its designer, Donald Roebling , is a worthy tribute to a man who brought this patriotic theme to our town. As the Rear Commodore of the Dunedin Boat Club , he spoke for their membership in thanking everyone for their support as noted in the great feature article in the Dunedin Beacon last month. In a couple of years, they will be celebrating their 100 th Birthday. The Dunedin Boat Club is one of the few remaining iconic touchstones to Dunedin's long and historic maritime legacy. Keeping that clubhouse intact and strong celebrates our past as an investment in maintaining the character of our town. On November 11, 2024, at 11 :00 a.m., they will come to Pioneer Park to celebrate Veterans ' Day, the opportunity as a community to recognize and give thanks to our men and women in uniform and reminder of the astronomically high cost of freedom. They hope once again , as is the custom, to bring Commanders of the V.F.W., the American Legion, and Military Order of Purple Heart to receive the City's proclamation prior to it being read at the ceremony. 24-3

Regular Meeting Notes September 5, 2024 Dunedin City Commission Eric Curtis of 51 Main Street , (the Marina) a Marina tenant and member of the Marina Advisory Committee commented : He has concerns regarding moving forward on replacing existing Marina infrastructure. All-new docks sound great if truly needed , but at what cost to Marina tenants? The Marina Fund should have been adjusted over 10 years ago for the dock work if it is really needed. Real and actual new slip increases need to be shown and not percentages because the majority of people can 't figure out the real value. Ten percent (10%) compounded over every year for 5 years was the rate study just adopted; however, it did not consider an all new rebuild. There should be a cost analysis for rebuilding or replacing to determine if there is a waste of money . He is hearing a lot of statements from the City Commission with no records to back them up ; of concern are key words including corrosion on hardware; deterioration; worn deck needing to go; dangerous boat ramp ; and so on. He has requested a report about the dangerous boat ramp which does not exist , because no one has been reported to be injured there . He also requested a report on the condition of the current docks, but no reports exist. There is a piling condition report from 2023 showing out of hundreds of pilings ; there might be five bad pilings, of which he thought a few were replaced. He also heard the Marina Advisory Committee said that aluminum docks were good; however, it was not discussed that repairs or anything else was possible . It was fixed docks or concrete docks , and the aluminum docks were brought up at the last meeting. The only way to get to the bottom of this issue is to hire a Marine Engineer who is qualified to determine the condition of the docks and can supply an estimate if they are hired to perform the scope . In his op inion , the pier shou ld be looked at for repairs or replacement due to its location and the environment it is in. He noted this is a Park issue and not so much a Marina issue. As a Marina tenant, his question is why does the City Commission vote on this matter when the Marina tenants are actual people paying for the upgrades? If the next dredge can be prolonged by stopping materials from outside areas from the parks being washed into the marina basin, he has pictures of it. Response City Manager Bramley advised the City is expecting a response to a request for a scope and fee schedule for the Marina Engineer to assess the condition of Docks A, B, and C. Oral Matthews of 434 Palmetto Street commented regarding adaptive sports in Dunedin and Pinellas County and getting time at the Recreation Center to be able to use sports chairs for practice. Also , if they could park down by the water, they could roll all the way to Clearwater and back and go in that gym with others. He noted he did join the American Legion as was suggested to him. The Move United organization is both for Veterans and civilians that participated. Perhaps Dunedin could host some of their events. Duane Wright of 250 New York Avenue commented: He has lived in Dunedin for over 25 years ; in that time , he was honored to serve on the Board of Adjustment and Appeal (BAA) and was one of the original architects on the Architectural Review Committee (ARC). He adv ised all citizens that attend these meetings will find them very 24-4

Regular Meeting Notes September 5, 2024 Dunedin City Commission knowledgeable and suggested coming in person , as what happens before the camera rolls and afte r are very inspir ing . Those on the dais are well aware he has attended almost every City Commission meeti ng for six years in the old City Hall. Although citizens can monitor these meetings before the cameras roll , he is known as be ing a tad overzealous when it comes to being an advocate for access ibility and will continue to be so . The good news is he is moving to Italy ; however , he is still one mouse click away. His life here in Dunedin is very memorable, good and bad ; the good outweighs the bad. Listening to those who spoke tonight , he would remind all the citizens in Dunedin to get the government they partic ipate in. Piggybacking off the Constitution , they need to show up and listen and be involved. One of his little pet peeves is people calling the Commission a "Council. " He wished everyone luck and he appreciates the involvement of the Commission knowing what they get paid , which is not enough. There are plenty of boards and committees that still need membership and he asked that citizens please get involved. Mayor Bujalski thanked Mr. Wright for His service to the City. Seeing and hearing no one else wishing to speak , Mayor Bujalski moved to the next agenda item . 2. ACTION ITEMS 2.a. Second Reading of Ordinance 24-22 of the City of Dunedin, Florida amending Section 107-41.1, Unlawful Noise, of the City of Dunedin Land Development Code to provide for interpretive clarity related to amplified sound and to clarify amplified sound may be heard outside the property line on New Years Eve and may never exceed a weighted 65 Decibel measured at the property line. City Attorney Cowan read Ordinance 24-22 by title only. MOTION: Motion was made by Vice Mayor Freaney and seconded by Commissioner Gow to adopt Ordinance 24-22 on second reading , amending Section 107-41.1 , Unlawful No ise , of the City of Dunedin Land Development Code Staff Presentation City Manager Bramley advised she would give her full presentation the same as at the Local Planning Agency and first reading in consideration of those who were not in attendance at those meetings ; also , there is information regarding activity that occurred in the intervening period between first and second reading. Before the City Commission this evening is Ordinance 24-22 , amending Chapter 107-41.1 of the Code of Ordinances pertaining to unlawful sound. This item was before the Local Planning Agency on July 29 , 2024. The Board heard the staff presentation and also testimony from members of the public. The Board voted unanimously to forward a favorable recommendation to the City Commission. The City Commission then held the first reading of the ordinance on August 1, 2024 , and voted to approve first reading and set the second reading for this evening with some comments , which staff has followed up on . This ordinance has been advertised in accordance with all notice requ irements. The purpose of this amendment is to clarify language in the ordinance that has at ti mes caused confusion , and also to include a prov ision extending hours on New Years ' Eve that 24-5

Regular Meeting Notes September 5, 2024 Dunedin City Commission was previously approved by a previous Commission by resolution; however , resolutions are not enforceable. The unlawful noise ordinance was adopted in 2008 after a great deal of discussion by the community , the City Commission , and the Local Planning Agency at that time. Prior to that , to engender input from the community in 2007 , the City Commission convened a Live , Work, Play , Sleep Task Force. The Task Force was assisted by an Acous tical Consultant; she read the minutes of those meetings and it was amazing how similar those discussions were to the Business , Resident , City Task Force (BRC). Minutes show that there was lengthy discussion surrounding "A" weighted versus "C" weighted measu rements and permissible decibel levels ; the Commission went with the "A" weighted measurements. Section 107-41.1 (c) states regarding unlawful noise: C) The production of sound, including sounds from any amplifier , phonograph, hi-fi, stereo, tape player, compact disc or digital sound system or other type of sound broadcasting or sound amplification device, whether from moving vehicles, vessels, or stationary locations that exceeds an A-weighted decibel threshold of 65 Db , measured at the property line of the complainant or which otherwise creates a nuisance. Such items include, but are not limited to, loudspeakers , boom boxes , and car radios. Sound created in a public park or on other public lands which exceeds an A-weighted decibel threshold of 65 Db measured (1) at the location of the complainant or (2) from a distance of 100 feet from the source of the sound , whichever is less or which otherwise creates a nuisance is unlawful. This Subsection C establishes that unlawful noise in the City of Dunedin is any sound, which exceeds 65 dB at the property line of the complainant and that would apply 7 days a week , 24 hours a day. Section 107-41.1 (H) states: H) Amplified sound , whether music or any other form of sound, that may be heard outside of the property line from which the amplified sound is generated after 11 :00 p.m . until 7:00 a.m. any day of the week. This violation includes sound generated inside a structure or outside a structure. Sound , which may be heard because of the opening of doors as persons enter and leave the structure that momentarily exceeds an A-weighted decibel threshold of 65 Db measured at the property line of the property from which the sound is generated is not a violation of this standard. City Manager Bramley continued: This section of the unlawful noise ordinance has caused confusion since the adoption of the ordinance. Taken literally , this section of the Code requires essentially silence. Ambient sound is measured at 45 to 50 decibels. Also, given the way that the sound flows in waves , if there is no sound generated from the inside or the outside of the structure , why would the door swing matter? There were a series of clarifications from the City officials prior to adoption of the ordinance and thereafter . The ordinance was adopted and she cited those clarifications in her memorandum dated February 12, 2024 , to Captain Melvin Jackson. Captain Jackson , our North District Commander , was in attendance tonight. 24-6

Regular Meeting Notes September 5, 2024 Dunedin City Commission Before getting into the clarifications , it is important to note that what we are doing today at second reading is to resolve this confusion and establish a clear method as to how to enforce this ordinance. On May 7, 2008 , Sergeant C. Laughlin of the Pinellas County Sheriffs Office (PCSO) Community Policing Unit made the following recommendations regarding the draft ordinance to former City Manager Rob DeSpirito. He said: 1) Use the "A" rated decibel rating system. 2) Set the threshold at 65 decibels for live outside amplified music. 3) Enforcement of this decibel level will be at the point of the receiver, receivership by the complainant. 4) The business owners will be required to monitor decibel levels. 5) No outside live amplified music after 11 :00 p.m., 7 days a week. These parameters speak to the original intent of the ordinance. On July 7, 2008 , Harry Gross , then Assistant City Manager described the parameters of the noise ordinance in a memorandum of the City Manager as follows: Introduces an "A" weighted decibel threshold standard to determine whether amplified sound is unlawful. Sets the "A" weighted decibel level at 65 decibels. Establishes the point of measurement at the property line of the complainant. Establishes that no amplified music be played outdoors after 11 :00 p.m., 7 days of the week. Clarification similar to those already described above occurred in January 5, 2009. On January 5, 2009, Greg Rice, Director of Community Development at that time wrote to City Attorney John Hubbard, which stated "As an example , the business has amplified music within the structure . The time is 11 :30 p.m. A person places the dB meter at the property line of the business and measures the dB. The resultant measurement is 55 dB. At this point, no violation of the ordinance has occurred. A customer leaves the business by opening a door and exiting the building. At the moment the doors open , the dB reading increases to 68 dB. The door closes and the dB reading returns to 50 dB, no violation of the ordinance has occurred" (Exhibit D). On January 15 , 2009 , he wrote that he did ask the City Attorney for clarification; he said that the intent of the ordinance was essentially that the 65-decibel standard would be maintained; it just moves to the property line of the source of the music after 11 :00 p.m. City Manager Bramley commented the intent is very clear in the public record. She did reach out directly to Harry Gross , former Assistant City Manager and the City's Project Manager at the time, to ensure she was understanding the minutes of the meeting and understanding the emails and the statements regarding the importance of this ordinance. Mr . Gross confirmed the City's position in 2007 and 2008. She did check with deputies who worked in the City's Community Policing Division as far back as 2014/2015, specifically Terrance Fallahee. She spoke with him again this morning to clarify. Deputy Fallahee, who was in attendance this evening, trained new deputies in the use of the decibel readers and implementation of the unlawful noise ordinance not only in Dunedin, but throughout Pinellas County. He confirmed the above statements : that unlawful noise is anything over 65 decibels measured from the property line of the 24-7

Regular Meeting Notes September 5, 2024 Dunedin City Commission complainant before 11 :00 p.m. and anything over 65 decibels measured from the property line of the source of the noise after 11 :00 p.m. City Manager Bramley referred to the proposed amendments to the ordinance shown on the screen for viewing in legislative draft , also called a "strikethrough "; anything underlined is what is proposed to be incorporated into the ordinance and anything with a line through it is proposed to be deleted. H) Amplified sound generated outside of a structure , whether music or any other form of sound , that may be heard outside the property line from which the amplified sound is generated after 11 :00 p.m. until 7:00 a.m. any day of the week, except on December 31st from 11:00 p.m. until 12:30a.m. on January 1st. This violation includes sound generated inside a structuFe or outside a structuFe. I) Amplified sound generated inside of a structure, exceeding A-weighted 65 dB, that may be heard outside the property line from which the amplified sound is generated after 11 :00 p.m. until 7:00 a.m. any day of the week, except on December 31st from 11 :00 p.m. until 12:30a.m. on January 1st. Amplified sSound , which may be heard because of the opening of doors as persons enter and leave the structure that momentarily exceeds an A-weighted decibel threshold of 65 Qe dB measured at the property line of the property from which the sound is generated is not a violation of this standard .
