The City Commission will host a public hearing and a regular monthly meeting in Marble Hall and as a Zoom webinar on Thursday, February 20, beginning at 9:30 a.m. We had hoped the city would post the commissioners' packet(s) for the meeting in time for KCBers to respond but it was not on the city website as of Tuesday afternoon.
A request for an "after-the-fact" variance for the installation of a 20' wooden dock on Shelter Bay Drive.
There were no Special Requests on the original agenda.
Questions to ask the commissioners:
Has Hotwire paid KCB a franchise fee to use the city right-of-way? Do they have individual customers here or has KCB contracted them to "wire" the city?
The committee and department reports are shown in the packet. Chief DiGiovanni will request the promotion of Police Officer Joe Burden to Sergeant.
They will approve by consent a Warrant for $722,333.50 and U.B. Bricking's $22,620 proposal for interlocking concrete pavers for the Bocce Ball court, and appoint David Evangelista and reappoint Frank Tremblay as alternate members of the Recreation Committee.
The commission will do the first reading of an ordinance amending the code to increase their discretionary spending threshold.
Section 2-75 currently requires that the city commission can make no purchase costing more than $25,000 of equipment, material, supplies or services (other than professional services exempt under Florida Statute), without open competitive bidding.
The change will allow the mayor or the city administrator to make up to $25,000 purchases without the approval of the commission.
Commissioner Harding will give the January financial summary and review proposed amendments to the current budget. He will discuss the Wastewater Sampling Summary Report from February 14, more on dry-floodproofing, feedback about Commercial Wastewater Billing, and the FDOT requests.
The City Attorney will update the fireworks guidelines.
The agenda had no topics listed for reports and comments by the other commissioners.
