Unusual Meeting Date
Calendar confusion: The commission changed the date of this month's regular commission meeting twice. It moved first to next Monday and then moved again to the second Wednesday instead of the usual "third Thursday" to avoid Juneteenth. Meetings will be held this Wednesday in Marble Hall and on Zoom.
Public Hearing
The city commission will host a public hearing and regular monthly meeting in Marble Hall and on Zoom on Wednesday, June 11, beginning at 9:30 a.m. (Note the special date.) The public hearing will consider the installation of a boat lift on Sadowski Causeway.
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 Wednesday, June 11, beginning at 9:35 a.m. (Note the special date.)
KCBers may want to ask our commissioners about these items in particular:
- People Are Asking why 130 8th Street requires a permit extension and how much the city will charge for it? Building permit #b24-000419 was issued January 13, 2025 to construct a new residential duplex. The construction cost listed was $776,620 yielding an initial permit cost of more than $27,875. The permit is listed as "active."
- The KCB CitizenServe Permit Portal consistently returns "No Results" to searches for building permits at 130 8th Street or any other KCB property. The Property Appraiser provided the information for building permit #b24-000419.
- Executive Order 24-209 first declared a state of emergency for Hurricane Helene on September 23, 2024. That state of emergency remains in force today through several orders including EO 25-102 issued May 14, 2025 which has automatically tolled all permits in KCB through July 13, 2025. People Are Asking for an explanation of the city "protocol" that requires an extension for a building permit that was automatically tolled by state law.
- The lot at 130 8th Street is privately owned. People Are Asking how and why KCB has been using it to "store" construction materials and debris for years?
- People Are Asking why, in this day of sunshine and perfect transparency, city "insiders" had electronic copies of the meeting packet last week but the public will have to wait until Tuesday or later to see it for a meeting the next day?
The agenda includes:
There were no special requests listed in the agenda.
The commission votes for Consent Action Items with a single motion. This month they include the FY25/26 budget calendar, an Iguana Control service agreement, a building permit extension for the property at the corner of 8th Street and West Ocean, a spending warrant for $774,487.33, and several meeting minutes.
The commission will discuss and approve awarding the contract for the 7th Street and Shelter Bay Drive drainage improvements.
The commission will discuss quotes of $24,440 vs.$59,680 to pave the 7th Street Park parking lot.
There will be the first reading of three ordinances amending the stormwater utility system, the monthly sewer and sewage disposal rates and charges, and to increase the competitive bidding threshold.
Commissioner Tom Harding will publish the April 2025 Financial Summary. He will also give the Wastewater Sampling Summary Report of June 9th, a South Florida Water Management resiliency update and an update from the Monroe County local mitigation workgroup.
The agenda has no information about the City Attorney’s Report or Commissioner’s Reports and Comments from Commissioner Colonell, DiFransico, Vice-Mayor Raspe, or Mayor Foster
