a. ORD2025-05 – Land Development Code Revision – 1st Reading

Discussion – The Commission asked for clarification on items.

b. ORD2025-07 – Construction Permit Refund Clarification – 1st Reading

Attorney Meyer presented the Ordinance. Town Manager Carey explained the background. The need for a code update arose from a situation where a permit applicant withdrew their application before completion – but after staff work had already begun. The code simply states “non-refundable” and there is no mechanism for a refund request. This language update provides clarification for such requests.

Discussion – The Commission asked if this ordinance best represents the Town and the residents. It was also mentioned that fees would be revisited by the new building department services vendor.

Public Comment – none.

Commissioner Maynard motioned to approve Ordinance 2025-07 Construction Permit Refund Clarification, seconded by Commissioner Harr. All yay Motion passed unanimously.

## c. Approval of Contract Renewal for ParkMobile

Town Manager Carey explained the Town’s current ParkMobile contract is a piggyback contract with the City of St. Petersburg and is set to expire. Since the Town is happy with ParkMobile’s service and desires to continue with them, we are able to piggyback with Omnia, a cooperative agreement that many Florida municipalities are currently contracted through. The Omnia contract would expire in November 2027 with renewal options available. Attorney Eschenfelder reviewed the contract. Manager Carey provided parking revenue statistics, saying that in FY25 the Town collected over $166,000 in parking revenue.

Discussion – The Commission asked why the Town would piggyback on the contact instead of developing its own and if the Town would have to pay Omnia a commission, Town Manager Carey explained the benefit of piggyback is that another entity has already completed the cumbersome competitive bid process and our town is allowed to “piggyback” on that contract. This is a common practice and there is no fee.

Public Comment – none.

Commissioner Maynard motioned to approve the ParkMobile Renewal Contract, seconded by Commissioner Harr. All yay Motion passed unanimously.
