People are asking ... what will the KCB City Commission do at the Public Hearing and Regular Meeting in May, 2025?

Public Hearing

The City Commission will host a public hearing and regular monthly meeting in Marble Hall and on Zoom on Thursday, May 15, beginning at 9:30 a.m. The public hearing will consider a variance request for the installation of a residential pool on 9th Street and a request to install a communications cabinet on W. Ocean Drive.

Note that the restriction on public commentary continues; "Members of the Public may speak for three minutes and may only speak once unless waived by a majority vote of the commission."

Regular Commission Meeting

The City Commission will host a regular monthly meeting in Marble Hall and on Zoom on Thursday, May 15, beginning at 9:35 a.m.

KCBers may want to ask our commissioners about these items in particular:
  • People Are Asking why the commission has approved the planned three-story city hall tower that appears to violate KCB's two-story maximum?
  • People Are Asking why the planned city hall addition "isn't a real EOC" and how that public statement could impact the grant funding?
  • People Are Asking if the Polaris Ranger "4-wheeler utility vehicle" will replace one of the two existing building department trucks?
  • People Are Asking why, in this day of sunshine and perfect transparency, city "insiders" had electronic copies of the 175 page meeting packet last week but the public had to wait until Tuesday or later to see it?
The agenda includes:

A special request to recognize National Police Week and Peace Officers Memorial Day

Consent Action Items include the purchase of a Polaris Ranger; contract renewals with Atlantic Pipe Services, Brightview, and lobbyist services from Southern Group, all totaling $144,478.50; termination of contractual engineering services with K2M, moving the June 16 meeting (formerly on June 19) to Wednesday, June 11, a spending warrant for "TBD," and meeting minutes.

The commission will discuss a change to wastewater commercial billing.

The commission will adopt resolutions to amend the city's fiscal year 2024-2025 budget as well as to make recommendations to improve traffic flow, congestion, safety, service on US1.

The city attorney will present a rationale for using "standard form contracts" and the city's procurement packages.

Commissioner Tom Harding will publish the April 2025 Financial Summary and discuss the 2025/2026 stormwater assessment, the May 12 wastewater sampling, and give updates on the FDOT pedestrian safety project at US1 and Sadowski Causeway and the April South Florida Regional Planning Council meeting.

Mayor Freddie Foster will release the 2025 city administrator evaluation.
