Commissioner Dickey asked about the 1-3 business days to inspect code violations. Supervisor. Dixon noted staff attempted to document the violation quickly.

Commissioner Czyszczon wanted to know about sodding/seeding vacant lots.

Ms. Sarah Pennington, Isle of Palms, felt the majority of the overgrown yards were owned by investors and empty parking lots that were not residential, and wanted the non-residential properties to be addressed, and asked if the St. Petersburg Municipal parking lot could be addressed. Commissioner Dickey thought it was a good suggestion. City Manager Van Zant said the discussion with the St Petersburg had begun.

Ms. Pennington believed the yards would not continue to be a problem, wanted to know how much the staff person would be paid, what would happen to them once the yards were caught up with, and wanted to know how the City would address the rodents.

PUBLIC COMMENTS FOR NON-AGENDA ITEMS 7

2 Mr. West Evans, Isle of Palms, spoke on a fraudulent email distributed by an imposter of Women of Treasure Island email address, asserted the City staff had shared residents’ emails to attack Commissioner Clark, and claimed Commissioner Clark had requested the memes not be circulated. Ms. Carrie Aurbach, St. Petersburg, spoke on the upcoming beach/community clean up events and thanked City staff for their work following the 2024 storms. Mr. Charlie Justice, Tampa Bay Beaches Chamber of Commerce, thanked the City for supporting the Bilmar Beach Hotel reopening and highlighted Taste of the Beaches event. Ms. Laurie Warwick, Paradise Island, complained about construction hours, wanted better enforcement of the construction time frames, expressed dissatisfaction with the Commissions’ behavior, called for Commissioner Czyszczon’s resignation, disagreed with Vice Mayor Vasquez’s behavior towards another Commissioner, asserted City staff had leaked resident email addresses, and wanted Vice Mayor Vasquez and Commissioner Czyszczon removed. Mayor Doctor explained he did not have the authority to remove anyone from the Commission or initiate a recall election, elaborated on his powers as Mayor, said the Governor could remove an elected official or a citizen-led recall election could take place, and expressed displeasure with the conduct of the Commission. Mr. Tim Vanek, resident, did not want increased height, felt votes were being influenced by financial interests, did not appreciate Vice Mayor Vasquez’s comments or Commissioner Czyszczon’s texts, and expounded on the thoughts regarding Vice Mayor Vasquez. Mr. Ed Nemeck, Isle of Palms, called for Commissioner Czyszczon’s resignation due to texts and conflicts of interest, emphasized the residents did not want increased height and density and did not believe it was necessary for increased development. Mr. Andrew Vasey, District 2, believed the Mayor had the moral authority to speak up on the conduct of the Commission and suggested the Mayor draft an ordinance recommending Commissioner Czyszczon step down and draft a letter to be signed by the other Commissioners to recommend his removal, argued for a master plan crafted by Carmel, Indiana former Mayor, commented on Vice Mayor Vasquez’s comments on the master plan, and referenced a foreclosure case for her prior home. Mr. Ken Layel, District 1, expressed embarrassment with the Commission’s conduct and asked the sophomoric behavior cease. Ms. Barb Adams, Isle of Palms, touched on encroachments for raised homes, helping residents who wanted to stay in the City, her own home’s encroachments, and the process of moving through the variance process. Mr. Mark Hohe, District 3, was upset there had been no action from the Commission or City staff regarding Commissioner Czyszczon’s text messages although members of the Commission had spoken against the behavior of residents, but praised Commissioner Clark for writing to Governor Ron Desantis. 8

3 Mr. Chris Hawkins, Isle of Palm, was not in favor of increased height and density and believed a nice City with nice events would be enough to attract businesses and tourists. Ms. Marie Barba, District 4, had concerns with the legality of moving forward with any of the increases considering the City Charter required a referendum. Mr. Ron DeBiase, resident, thought the entire Commission should resign and asserted the Commission could not pass the increased height and density without a referendum from the residents. F.

4 Attorney Rollins stated the Resolution was to sell the property and Item H.2. would vacate the right of way. Vice Mayor Vasquez moved to approve 25-21 authorizing the sale of city-owned parcel (Parcel ID 23-31-15-91818-012-0130), located on the north side of 106th Avenue, approximately 145 feet west of 1st street, Treasure Island, FL 33706, to Pirate Square LLC; authorize the City Manager to execute all documents and take necessary steps to complete the transaction in accordance with applicable laws and City policies, seconded by Commissioner Dickey. Mayor Doctor called for public comment. Ms. Marie Barba, Resident, did not believe the sales price was enough. Mr. West Evans, Isle of Palms, expressed he was surprised any businesses wanted to operate in Treasure Island considering limited height and density. Mr. Andrew Vasey, resident, did not believe the sale was prudent because the City did not have a master plan. Ms. Maryellen Huere, District 3, offered a higher price for the property. Commissioner Dickey said he had considered the sales price based on the condition of the property, did not believe the City had any use for the property, commented on the appraisal process, and shared benefits of selling the property. Vice Mayor Vasquez remarked on the property size. Commissioner Clark believed it would be good to allow some development. The motion carried five to zero. H.2 First Reading of Ordinance 2025-27, vacating approximately 14,000 sq ft / 0.3214 acres of an alley located between 106th and 107th Avenue, a public right -of-way, to retain a utility easement over the 30-foot-wide east-west alley, to retain a pedestrian easement over the 10-foot-wide north-south alley. (Previously Item H.6) City Attorney Rollins explained the City could not request payment for vacation of right-of-way and read the ordinance by title only. Vice Mayor Vasquez moved to approve Ordinance 2025-27 and schedule its second and final reading on October 21, 2025, seconded by Commissioner Czyszczon. Mayor Doctor called for public comment. Mr. Mark Bently, representative attorney, was available for questions and distributed backup materials. Commissioner Dickey asked if the property also went back on the City tax roll and if there was an estimate of how much tax the City would receive. Mr. Bently guessed about $14,000 a year. Commissioner Dickey said he believed it would be $16,000 a year. Mr. Bently said as the property was improved, the tax value would increase. Commissioner Dickey asked if increased density would be impacted. Mr. Bently complimented Attorney Rollins. Commissioner Czyszczon believed the vacation was a step in the right direction for downtown development. 10

5 The motion carried five to zero. H.3 Second and Final Reading of Ordinance 2025-15, allowable encroachments for elevation of existing structures. Vice Mayor Vasquez moved to approve and adopt Ordinance 2025-15 at the second and final reading, seconded by Commissioner Czyszczon. Mayor Doctor called for public comment. Ms. Marie Barba, South Beach, wanted clarity on what the ordinance would allow. Attorney Rollins read the ordinance by title only. Ms. Marie Barba said the ordinance should not be passed. Assistant Community Development Director Maryellen Edwards detailed what the ordinance allowed. The motion carried five to zero. H.4 First Reading of Ordinance 2025-26 to Ban Shark Fishing on Treasure Island Beaches (Commissioner Dickey) Commissioner Dickey expounded on the ordinance rationale. Attorney Rollins was available for questions. Mayor Doctor wanted clarity on what would be prohibited. Attorney Rollins said it was targeted shark fishing from the shore that would be prohibited but it would not prevent shark fishing from a boat. Vice Mayor Vasquez moved to approve the first reading of Ordinance 2025-26 to ban shark fishing on Treasure Island beaches, seconded by Commissioner Dickey. Mayor Doctor called for public comment. Mr. West Evans, Isle of Palms, was concerned with enforcement. The motion carried five to zero. H.5 Second and Final Reading of Ordinance 2025-13 creating Chapter 60 "Introduction" of the Land Development Regulations. (Previously Item H.1.)

Attorney Rollins read the ordinance by title only. Vice Mayor Vasquez moved to approve and adopt Ordinance 2025-14 amending Chapter 73 "Signs and Advertising" at the second and final reading, seconded by Commissioner Czyszczon. The motion carried five to zero. H.7 First Reading of Ordinance 2025-28, to approve FY 2026 fee schedule 11

6 Vice Mayor Vasquez moved to adopt Ordinance 2025-28 adopting the City-wide Fee Schedule as Appendix A to the Code of Ordinances to be effective December 1, 2025, at the first public hearing and to schedule it for a second reading at the November 4, 2025, regular Commission meeting, seconded by Commissioner Czyszczon. (The motion was not voted on.) Finance Director Victor Ortiz explained the parking fee changes. Mayor Doctor asked if the Commission removed the rented parking spaces would there need to be another first reading. Attorney Rollins stated only a substantial change would require another first reading. Mayor Doctor wanted the parking contract removed. Attorney Rollins recommended making the Commission’s consensus clear before the vote. Director Ortiz highlighted there was a sewer rate increase from the City of St. Petersburg. Due to Commission Comments, Mayor Doctor suggested not taking action on the item. Attorney Rollins recommended clear direction to staff on what needed to be changed. Commissioner Czyszczon recommended increasing the rate for City event parking staff to no less than $30, but no more than $50. Parks and Recreation Director Cathy Hayduke confirmed staff wanted approval to increase the amounts. There was consensus. Commissioner Czyszczon wanted to offer, 17, four-day, all-day VIP parking, with a swag bag for $1,500, for Sanding Ovations, and to use the parking spots south of City hall, for a potential $17,000 in revenue. Director Hayduke said staff were willing to try it. Vice Mayor Vasquez asked how much VIP access to Sanding Ovation cost. Director Hayduke noted price points. Mayor Doctor did not like the suggestion. Vice Mayor Vasquez saw the potential. Commissioner Clark did not think the VIP parking would be utilized. Commissioner Dickey did not see a problem offering VIP parking. Commissioner Clark wanted clarity on the amenities. Commissioner Dickey wanted Director Hayduke to bring the item back more fleshed out. Following conversation, Attorney Rollins advised the VIP parking did not need to be part of a fee schedule. Vice Mayor Vasquez suggested a deadline to sign up for the VIP option. Remarking on the contract parking, Commissioner Dickey commented not all the contracts were equal and not all parking spaces were equal. Director Ortiz would remove that section from the fee schedule. Commissioner Dickey remarked on lower parking rates in surrounding municipalities and did not want to raise parking fees currently.

Mayor Doctor called for public comment. Mr. Mark Hohe, District 3, applauded the idea of an ethics ordinance, was unsure if it was sufficient to manage Commissioners’ behavior, but was glad it was being discussed. Ms. Marie Barba, resident, wanted to know the content of the ordinance. Vice Mayor Vasquez wanted to amend the ordinance to ban all personal phones on the dais and only allow City-issued phones or tablets on the dais, believed it would increase transparency and Commission focus.
