Other Business 7.1 City Manager’s Annual Evaluation 7.2 Staff seeks Commission direction on a policy to guide the sale or transfer of surplus City-owned residential lots, including both CRA and non-CRA properties. Discussion will focus on options to prevent speculative resale and ensure community benefit, such as reverter clauses, deed restrictions, or performance-based mortgages. Direction is needed on preferred safeguards and criteria to apply in future dispositions. (City Attorney) 7.3 Staff requests Commission direction to bring forward a resolution adopting the City’s standardized Public Records Exemption Request Form and administrative procedures. These tools implement expanded protections under Section 119.071(4)(d), Florida Statutes, and Senate Bill 268 (2025) for qualifying officials, employees, and family members. Adoption will ensure legal compliance and consistent processing of exemption requests. (City Attorney) 7.4 Staff requests Commission direction to advance a resolution adopting a standardized acknowledgment form for use when public records requests involve personal devices or accounts of City officials or employees. The form affirms the individual’s legal duty under Chapter 119, Florida Statutes, to exercise due diligence in identifying, preserving, and producing responsive records. It also provides written documentation of compliance efforts to protect the City and individual from potential liability. Adoption will enhance transparency and reduce legal exposure.
