Regular Commission Meeting
The City Commission will host a regular monthly meeting in Marble Hall and on Zoom on Thursday, April 17, beginning at 9:35 a.m. The commission will handle several high profile items in this meeting including privatizing the golf course, several permit extensions, Rec Committee recommendations, and contract approvals.
KCBers may want to ask our commissioners about these items in particular:
- People Are Asking why the commission can't renew the golf course contract--with annual renewal options--with the current manager just as they are doing with other contracts in this agenda.
- The city has already charged more than $200,000 in permit fees for three properties. People Are Asking why city officials required the owners to apply for extensions instead of tolling (extending) those permits as is required by state law.
- People Are Asking if the commission will approve the three-story city hall tower that appears to violate KCB's two-story maximum?
Sec. 101-18. - PB Public buildings and grounds districts.
(3) Site design standards.
Height maximum of 2 stories but in no case more than 48 feet in height as mandated by Florida Building Code. No mechanical equipment shall be allowed on roof.
- People Are Asking why, in this day of sunshine and perfect transparency, city "insiders" had electronic copies of the 171 page meeting packet last week but the public had to wait until Tuesday or later to see it?
The agenda includes:
There were no special requests listed on the agenda.
Consent Action Items include several recent meeting minutes, approval of a warrant for $719,442.69, and changing the date of the June commission meeting.
The commission will discuss permit extensions for properties on 15th Circle and 14th Street.
"The monthly fee payable in advance for the extension shall be ten (10) percent of the original building fees." All building permits in KCB are currently tolled (extended) by emergency declarations for Hurricanes Helene, Ian, and Milton. All three properties under consideration are automatically tolled by statute and can claim additional mandatory extensions.
The commission will discuss Recreation Committee recommendations for a basketball court location and for 1st Street park improvements.
Commissioner Harding will introduce a grant opportunity for an ADA Study and a "Minor Master Plan" of the city's parks.
The commission will discuss utility board recommendations to change the G-Tech contract and do Sanitary Grout Repairs.
The commission will discuss buying and installing sail shades at Sunset Park.
The commission will discuss privatizing the city golf course.
KCB residents and golfers strongly supported the current lessee of the golf course.
The commission will discuss pre-ordering a new police department pickup truck.
The commission will adopt a resolution to designate public works employees as first responders.
Commissioner Tom Harding will give the March Financial Summary, a wastewater sampling report, and FDOT work requests.
Mayor Freddie Foster will discuss the city administrator evaluation.
