City of Key Colony Beach: It's a pleasure to be here again, and I thank y'all for allowing us to be part of the wonderful city of KCP.

00:05:50.640 --> 00:06:06.379

00:06:06.440 --> 00:06:20.069

City of Key Colony Beach: Really quick, just go through the fire report from Marathon. Our fire incidents last month, we had, 5 fire calls, 5 hazardous condition calls, 150 EMS calls, 42 in our facilities.

00:06:20.150 --> 00:06:25.979

City of Key Colony Beach: And one actual risk public service with 21 different public service requests.

00:06:26.580 --> 00:06:29.299

City of Key Colony Beach: As of the end of this month.

00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:32.689

City of Key Colony Beach: We will have around 1,512 calls.

00:06:32.910 --> 00:06:42.970

City of Key Colony Beach: Now, KCV alone, but you guys had kind of a very easy month this month, which we were looking at really nice. You had one no-fire cause, one hazardous condition.

00:06:43.030 --> 00:06:44.899

City of Key Colony Beach: 8 EMS calls?

00:06:44.960 --> 00:07:00.429

City of Key Colony Beach: And for a total of 12 a whole month, that's really pretty, pretty good, we got. We've got a pretty safe back there right now. Can we adjust our bill for that? Well, that's beyond my capabilities.

00:07:00.430 --> 00:07:19.739

City of Key Colony Beach: We all I did want to say, we do have a couple things coming out of the ground I wanted to initiate with y'all, and that is, you know, we did put in for a fire vote last year, so we did get the grant, we are going forward with that. They just actually started the build-up, so we will have a fire vote sometime around the end of October.

00:07:19.750 --> 00:07:36.730

City of Key Colony Beach: Which is fantastic, because it's going to give us capabilities of being able to provide a little bit better service for KCB, which KCB is an island all of its own, so, what better place to have than to have a vessel that would come out, not only assist in rescue, but to distinguish fireworks as well.

00:07:36.890 --> 00:07:38.740

City of Key Colony Beach: We're really looking forward to that.

00:07:42.670 --> 00:07:55.920

City of Key Colony Beach: I just wanted to say thank you again for allowing Marathon to be part of the restaurant. That restaurant is going to be so very cool. I can't wait till it opens up. It's really going to be a very good addition to KCD.

00:07:55.920 --> 00:08:05.740

City of Key Colony Beach: Great job, and you guys coming up with the plans, I just want to say thank you for allowing us to be part of it. Thank you. And that's it, really, I don't have anything else. Has anybody got anything for us?

00:08:08.280 --> 00:08:16.910

City of Key Colony Beach: Hearing none, thank you for your report. Thank you all very much, and again, we love you guys, so if anything we can do to help out, please don't hesitate. Okay, great.

00:08:17.110 --> 00:08:19.320

City of Key Colony Beach: Jamie, do you have anything?

00:08:20.830 --> 00:08:34.990

City of Key Colony Beach: Nothing, unless you guys have any questions. All right, I will say a very nice report, though. Well, well written, I appreciate that. Does anybody have any questions?

Diehl:

Yeah, I do. I was really impressed with the, Code Officer 74 citations last month. That's I mean, compared to the last 12 months, only $1,200 generated, that's 80-some hundred dollars, and I think that contributes to the people coming in for mini lobster season, and they continue weeks after that. They just they just don't have any regards for the rules or regulations, so Yeah, keep up the good work.

Buxton:

Thank you.

00:08:58.180 --> 00:09:00.020

City of Key Colony Beach: Okay, Hearing nothing else?

00:09:00.990 --> 00:09:03.200

City of Key Colony Beach: John, Ignat Schrabor.

00:09:03.580 --> 00:09:22.010

City of Key Colony Beach: You have my report. If you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer them. There is one edition, a verbal edition, and the mayor knows about it, but we have possibly found a grant that we could use to help, fund and give us some, extra stuff for our fishing derby, and I'm working with the chief on that.

00:09:22.010 --> 00:09:34.320

City of Key Colony Beach: Good, good. They're out there, we just gotta search for them. And I think we've been pretty successful in that the last couple few years. This commission has really, stepped up, in the last 3-4 years, getting,

00:09:34.500 --> 00:09:40.400

City of Key Colony Beach: getting funds for this city that, have historically not been done. So, nice work.

00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:47.120

City of Key Colony Beach: Okay, Mike, all I can say is Good work. Place looks nice.

00:09:47.370 --> 00:09:54.419

City of Key Colony Beach: Thank you, I'll pass it on to the guys. We probably need to do another luncheon for these guys, so

00:09:54.530 --> 00:09:56.799

City of Key Colony Beach: So be it, one. When

00:09:57.610 --> 00:10:05.140

City of Key Colony Beach: Let's look in September sometime, maybe near the end, we'll have a let's take them somewhere, let's not do it at the

00:10:05.650 --> 00:10:06.880

City of Key Colony Beach: It's too hot out there.

00:10:07.190 --> 00:10:08.100

Tom: Monitor.

00:10:08.320 --> 00:10:16.809

City of Key Colony Beach: So, we'll do something, because it's, we're getting ready to kick off, a big season, so I appreciate it.

00:10:17.710 --> 00:10:21.379

City of Key Colony Beach: All right, Tony, you have a hang on the department?

00:10:23.260 --> 00:10:27.690

City of Key Colony Beach: Got your report. Good morning, I just Right.

00:10:29.960 --> 00:10:36.310

City of Key Colony Beach: Good morning, mine. A report is included, I'm sure you've reviewed it. The main thing I'd like to point out, just because I've been

00:10:36.370 --> 00:10:54.029

City of Key Colony Beach: knocking out safety inspections like crazy, but also the seaball inspections to take off. We've got some already under construction set in the process of getting permitted because of our inspections. All right, good. Yeah, that inspection's important. It gives the individuals maybe a better look at something they may not have seen it on.

00:10:54.030 --> 00:10:56.620

City of Key Colony Beach: From their side of the house. So, very good.

00:10:56.780 --> 00:10:58.040

City of Key Colony Beach: Alright.

00:10:58.230 --> 00:11:01.039

City of Key Colony Beach: Sylvia, I got your report. Do you have any additions?

100

00:11:01.170 --> 00:11:05.649

City of Key Colony Beach: All right. Is there any of the committees that are here to report?

101

00:11:08.390 --> 00:11:22.379

City of Key Colony Beach: George, I know you've come up in this. Do you have any Right. And, Mr. Mayor, we have Cynthia Catto, for the morning for the recreation Committee. Okay, please go ahead and talk Cindy.

102

00:11:27.700 --> 00:11:29.090

City of Key Colony Beach: I think he's still muted.

103

00:11:30.700 --> 00:11:32.900

City of Key Colony Beach: Cindy, you should be able to unmute yourself.

104

00:11:37.700 --> 00:11:53.769

Cynthia Tucker Catto: I can now. Okay, thank you. I'm calling I'm calling in because on August 3rd, the Recreation Committee members all received a copy of a letter from Vice Mayor Colonell requesting the city commissioners Re-evaluate the location of the basketball court. When the location was selected, by our committee on in April of 2025. It was thoroughly vetted by looking at options that bic Mayor Colonell has and we didn't select them because the Recreation Committee did not want to take down trees, we didn't want to use more green space. And then the other concern about the retention pond and safety, I'm sorry, was also looked at, and there are landscaping plans in place, and plantings that should mitigate any safety hazards with the basketball court being located where it's supposed to be. So after our very thorough discussion at our August 13th meeting. Again, the Recreation Committee wants to reaffirm that April 2025 decision. And please go ahead with where the basketball court is recommended to be located. And I believe the commissioners have also received two letters from members of the community who justified their positions on the basketball placement.

116

00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:29.750

City of Key Colony Beach: Okay, so

117

00:13:29.750 --> 00:13:37.070

Cynthia Tucker Catto: That is our opinion on that. Okay, you have a comment there for there, us, please. And then I have one other small matter.

118

00:13:37.300 --> 00:13:37.950

City of Key Colony Beach: Sure.

119

00:13:38.310 --> 00:13:50.039

Cynthia Tucker Catto: The other matter is that the Recreation Committee is concerned about the transition from the golf course, and maybe we're operating a little ahead of what the Commission is dealing with, but we don't want to go anybody to go through 81 letters getting written, or any of those kinds of things. So we would like your permission to move forward later in the fall. And have a couple of workshops, and just get citizens' comments then, instead of after decisions are being made, and so what is your opinion on that? Or when can I'm sorry, and when can we get an opinion on that?

124

00:14:29.660 --> 00:14:39.370

Foster: This is just citizens' comments, so I'm just listening. I'm sure as we get closer, we'll have some more discussion on that, but I appreciate it, and I do want to make one comment. I appreciate, Commissioner Colonel, Vice Mayor, putting that information out, because it did open my eyes on a couple of items that I think we may not have been as as sensitive to. So, we are going to have to make a few changes to the safety of it, although I'm sure we'll keep the same area, but I think there's some additions to, and maybe your landscaping plan might address it or not, but he brought up some very important parts that I think we need to to understand, and I believe one of the letters that was sent in also addressed that, so I do appreciate that being sent, and the sensitivity to the safety of the children. So, more to come, appreciate your comments.

129

00:15:20.700 --> 00:15:28.479

Cynthia Tucker Catto: Okay, and we will be hearing from the Commission on what direction we should be heading as a rec committee for the golf course transition. We're a little bit more than a year left now, and we we want to do it as positively as possible.

133

00:15:40.500 --> 00:15:41.790

City of Key Colony Beach: Appreciate that.

134

00:15:42.620 --> 00:15:44.100

Cynthia Tucker Catto: Okay, thank you.

135

00:15:45.070 --> 00:15:46.090

Tom: Okay.

136

00:15:46.090 --> 00:15:47.240

City of Key Colony Beach: Anyone else?

137

00:15:47.460 --> 00:15:52.289

City of Key Colony Beach: Sandy is online, too. Do you want to scroll down a little bit and see if she raised that one again?

138

00:16:00.410 --> 00:16:03.130

City of Key Colony Beach: Okay. Seeing none?

139

00:16:03.390 --> 00:16:12.579

City of Key Colony Beach: I don't think we have the reports from the rest of them, so I think we're okay. And Fred, do you have anything that you wanted to bring? No. Alright, appreciate you being here.

140

00:16:13.780 --> 00:16:33.170

City of Key Colony Beach: All right, consent action items. So, under consent action items, all items will be voted on after one motion, and will second, will be required to approve them without discussion. If a Commissioner member wants any action items discussed or voted on separately, the Commission member at the beginning of the open session must ask that that action item be moved

141

00:16:33.170 --> 00:16:38.399

City of Key Colony Beach: To the discussion action item, we have moved the discussion on the membrane

142

00:16:38.640 --> 00:16:45.539

City of Key Colony Beach: I think that's the one that Tom wanted, yeah, with Viola, so we'll discuss that separately. So, do I have a first to approve

143

00:16:45.850 --> 00:16:47.799

City of Key Colony Beach: The consent action items.

144

00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:50.380

City of Key Colony Beach: Motion to approve.

145

00:16:50.570 --> 00:16:51.889

City of Key Colony Beach: I have a second.

146

00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:53.810

City of Key Colony Beach: Second.

147

00:16:54.230 --> 00:16:55.959

City of Key Colony Beach: Any further discussion?

City of Key Colony Beach: Vice May Colonel.

Doug Colonell: Yes.

152

00:17:07.020 --> 00:17:24.009

City of Key Colony Beach: May I ask that? Yes. Okay, so now we'll discuss the discussion approval, the membrane replacement proposal from Viola for $383,220 for the recommendation of the Utility Board. Tom, you wanted to discuss this?

153

00:17:24.260 --> 00:17:41.720

Tom: Yes, I looked through that, and it looks like a very well-written proposal, very professional. However, there are a number of items in the proposal itself which are going to be difficult for the city. For example, it proposes that everything in the proposal is confidential, and asks us to hold it in confidence, and we have broadcast it to the world. We need to go back and tell them that we don't do confidential information like that, and if they want something confidential, pull it out. Also, there are a number of terms and conditions in there that don't meet our requirements, which need to go back, I believe, to V&B to have them put their, E-Verify, and no debarment, and all those other certificates that need to be put in place before we can award a contract. So, I suggest that we someone take go through that contract and and get it to our standards so we can award it. It looks like it's a reasonably good contract. It has a lot of requirements for us, either the city or for U.S. Water, for example, we have to provide two people to do the work while they're on site, and I'm not sure whether that's going to be city employees or U.S. Water but, we need to make sure we're planning for that so that we don't hold them up, so they can't charge us extras. So, I just wanted to make sure that somebody goes through the contract and make sure we get the contract to our liking and that we're set up to execute it the way they've outlined it in their proposal.

160

00:19:01.170 --> 00:19:07.050

Foster: Do you have that stuff written down that you can send in to us to, like, to maybe Tom?

161

00:19:07.050 --> 00:19:23.590

Tom: The answer is no, it's throughout the whole thing. The contract has terms and conditions and execution approach interwoven throughout the contract, and someone needs to go through it. I think, two people. One, probably Shane, to see how we're going to execute it, and probably Jimmy to figure out what we need to do to award the contract.

163

00:19:32.320 --> 00:19:47.399

Foster: All right, I'm going to turn this over to Commissioner Harding. This is kind of like his little baby.

Harding: Yeah, Tom, I can speak to the change. So, U.S. Water and Public Works has always worked together whenever these membranes come in, and they've done a very effective, good job with that, so I'm not concerned about that. I think as far as the contract, is that, Jimmy, can you take a look at that and see if there's any suggestions we have?

Hicks: Yeah, yes sir, absolutely. We have not been direct profit-wise, so we haven't looked at it.

166

00:20:05.940 --> 00:20:24.500

City of Key Colony Beach: That's it. That's the fourth. Okay. Can can we hold this? Is it I know these membranes are in bad shape, and this is the last of the cassettes to be replaced, is that correct? Yeah, I would see if everybody's okay. I would suggest we approve it with the review from Jimmy who's making any minor corrections?

168

00:20:27.840 --> 00:20:31.680

Foster: Tom DeFrancesco, Commissioner, is that does that work for you?

169

00:20:31.680 --> 00:20:39.020

Tom: I think so long as the attorneys say it's okay, and put the additional information in there, it's fine for us to go forward.

170

00:20:39.460 --> 00:20:43.230

City of Key Colony Beach: Okay, yes. Okay, so Jimmy's, agreeing with that.

171

00:20:43.380 --> 00:20:47.929

City of Key Colony Beach: Alright, so hearing that, do I have a motion to approve this?

172

00:20:48.110 --> 00:20:49.309

City of Key Colony Beach: I'll make a motion.

173

00:20:49.470 --> 00:20:51.580

City of Key Colony Beach: Second? Second.

174

00:20:51.720 --> 00:20:54.150

City of Key Colony Beach: Okay, any further discussion?

175

00:20:54.560 --> 00:20:56.900

City of Key Colony Beach: Roll call, though. Commissioner DeFrancisco.

176

00:20:57.130 --> 00:20:58.090

Tom: Yes.

177

00:20:58.440 --> 00:21:01.170

City of Key Colony Beach: Margin? Yes. Vice Mayor Colonel?

178

00:21:01.170 --> 00:21:01.930

Doug Colonell: Yes.

179

00:21:02.460 --> 00:21:06.720

City of Key Colony Beach: Commissioner Hardin? Yes. Mayor Washington? Yes. Commissioner Cruz? Aye.

180

00:21:07.370 --> 00:21:11.509

City of Key Colony Beach: Thank you, Commissioner P. Francisco. That's, that was a good catch. Appreciate that.

181

00:21:12.760 --> 00:21:28.729

City of Key Colony Beach: All right, now we have discussion items. We don't have anything added here. Discussion approval for recommendation to award RFP2604 for storm drain cleaning services.

182

00:21:28.890 --> 00:21:31.609

City of Key Colony Beach: Mike, you went through this, did you not?

183

00:21:32.170 --> 00:21:36.730

City of Key Colony Beach: Are you satisfied with the, the we picked?

184

00:21:37.960 --> 00:21:39.460

City of Key Colony Beach: Of course. Alright.

185

00:21:39.570 --> 00:21:46.019

City of Key Colony Beach: All right, hearing that, you're good with it, I have a motion to approve. Motion to approve. I have a second.

186

00:21:46.530 --> 00:21:49.869

City of Key Colony Beach: Second. Second. Any further discussion?

187

00:21:50.860 --> 00:21:52.630

City of Key Colony Beach: Hearing none

188

00:21:52.630 --> 00:22:06.139

Doug Colonell: Mr. Mayor, I have one quick comment. After we're finished with the sprinkling, is there any scoping that is done, Mike, on these lines, after the work is completed, sort of in a quality control?

189

00:22:06.370 --> 00:22:09.929

Doug Colonell: situation, or do they do that as part of the contract? I didn't read that.

190

00:22:10.450 --> 00:22:11.609

City of Key Colony Beach: Don't stop.

191

00:22:11.900 --> 00:22:12.290

Doug Colonell: Pardon me?

192

00:22:12.290 --> 00:22:19.169

City of Key Colony Beach: No, they do not, but I think they take pictures when they find clawed, areas that are, that need

193

00:22:19.300 --> 00:22:25.809

City of Key Colony Beach: Debris removal. I've seen them. They often can buy past them inside of the stuff.

194

00:22:25.980 --> 00:22:27.440

City of Key Colony Beach: Yeah, boss.

195

00:22:27.650 --> 00:22:31.019

City of Key Colony Beach: I don't think he could hear you, because I couldn't hear you.

196

00:22:31.020 --> 00:22:31.910

Doug Colonell: Can't hear ya.

197

00:22:32.760 --> 00:22:39.570

City of Key Colony Beach: when there's something in question, and they're on-site, they generally will do it to no cost to the city. They're here doing the trains.

198

00:22:40.960 --> 00:22:42.559

City of Key Colony Beach: Good to hear that, Don.

199

00:22:42.720 --> 00:22:48.749

Doug Colonell: I did. Okay, I just wanted to bring that up, okay, thank you.

200

00:22:49.020 --> 00:22:50.789

City of Key Colony Beach: I appreciate it.

201

00:22:51.100 --> 00:22:53.269

City of Key Colony Beach: Roll call. Vice Mayor Colonell?

202

00:22:53.270 --> 00:22:54.030

Doug Colonell: Yes.

203

00:22:54.530 --> 00:22:58.759

City of Key Colony Beach: Commissioner Hardin? Yes. Commissioner Dio? Yes. Commissioner DeFrancisco?

204

00:22:58.760 --> 00:22:59.500

Tom: Yes?

205

00:22:59.910 --> 00:23:08.939

City of Key Colony Beach: Mayor Professor? Yes. Motion approves. Great. Item B, I'd like to introduce Aaron. I apologize.

206

00:23:09.610 --> 00:23:16.780

City of Key Colony Beach: Erin Eaty. And she's going to discuss the watershed management plan for us.

207

00:23:33.710 --> 00:23:35.790

City of Key Colony Beach: Slide through.

208

00:23:36.780 --> 00:23:44.980

City of Key Colony Beach: You'll have to speak up into your mic, otherwise they won't be able to hear you. Could slideshow, the menu slideshow?

209

00:23:45.410 --> 00:23:48.850

City of Key Colony Beach: That should come off yeah, from the carrier? Perfect.

210

00:23:49.060 --> 00:24:12.280

Erin Deady: Good morning, my name is Erin Deady, I'm a planner and I'm an attorney out of Delray Beach, Florida. I do consulting work for the county and many of the municipalities down here, specifically with regard to resiliency, flooding, comprehensive plans, those types of issues. What I'm here to talk to you about this morning is a successful grant that we are winding down that the City of Key Colony Beach was awarded, as well as the other municipalities in unincorporated county, to create what's known as a Watershed Master Plan which is a plan that can assist you with your participation in the Community Rating System program, which is really important, because that program reduces flood insurance premiums for people that pay for flood insurance within the community.

So the team that completed the Watershed Master Plan, there maybe is a familiar face on that list of myself and Lori Lear, who is contracted with the City to be a consultant for your participation in FEMA's Community Rating System Program. The firm WSP assisted us with modeling, and the firm Clearview Geographic assisted us with the mapping and the geographic information systems output.

So just a little bit of a broad brush on what the community rating system is. Approximately 244 communities throughout Florida participate in the program, so it's a pretty popular program when you stack it up against the counties and the municipalities, and both inland and coastal communities participate in the program. The whole point of participating in the program is that the better you do participating in the program, you get discounts on your national flood insurance premiums in the community, so it's very important. The way the program is scored is that you have a class rating. Those ratings go from 10 to 1, with 1 being the best and the higher scores are, the worst participants in the program. Florida has had a pretty good history with participation within the community rating system program when you stack it up against states nationally, but what's been very difficult is for communities to break what we call the Class 5 or the Class 4 barrier. The reason that is difficult is because you have to have what's known as a watershed master plan. And it's kind of a different way of modeling the influence of the stormwater management system that also requires us to look at tidal flooding and future conditions. And most communities, when they do stormwater master plans, they are focused on the here and the now and the operations of their systems. So what the state of Florida did was they created a grant program with hazard mitigation grant funds, which are federal funds. They passed those funds through the state and provided communities with 75% matches for these grants to conduct these watershed master plans. The point was to help communities break that barrier so we could see more ranking 4, 3, 2, getting those increases in blood insurance premiums. So, communities are stopped at a Class 5 unless they have that watershed Master Plan. It is a prerequisite to get lower. So that's why you see this gap here between everything leading up to the Class 5, and then for the Class 4, Class 3, Class 2. Monroe County was one of the first communities back in 2019 to break that barrier. We worked for 3 years on that watershed master plan. We were one of the first in the country that undertook this kind of different way of modeling stormwater management systems. And so, what we wanted to do with this partnership is capitalize on that success, and not just have the county update its plan in 2024, 2025, but bring in the municipalities, because flood insurance premiums are so high within Monroe County, it makes sense for the county and the municipalities to participate together, go after these grant funds, conduct their watershed master plans, so we could lift the barrier on that prerequisite and pursue, an improvement in the class rating for all of the communities.

So, without a watershed master plan, a community is stagnant and can get beyond a 5 within the program and not receive more premium discounts, because every improvement in your class rating, you get 5% more reduction in the insurance premium, so that's really important. City of Key Colony Beach started participating long ago within FEMA's Community Rating System in 1992. As of 2023, you are at a Class 6 ranking with a 20% discount in flood insurance premiums. So if you are a resident, and you have an NFIP flood insurance policy, when you get your premium, there's literally a discount that is marked on your invoice that says CRS discount 20%. And so, if we got to a Class 5, that'd be 25%. A Class 4 would be a 30% discount on premiums, so that's a good thing.

So we secured, in 2022, a grant for $106,000 and $218.75 to create, that Watershed Master Plan. And for the 25% that the city would have been obligated to cover for that grant, we were able to use previous work that we had done on a vulnerability assessment, and the state was willing to count that as the city's 25% match. So, none of the local government jurisdictions within Monroe County had to come out of pocket cash to meet that 25% obligation. And if you work in grants, you know that that is a huge win, to not have to pay any money towards the creation of this plan.

Watershed master plans have to be updated every 5 years to remain in the CRS program and to continue to receive credit for that Watershed Master Plan. This is the first one that we've been able to conduct for the City, so the City would have to revisit this by 2031 to remain eligible to receive those points. It builds on data that we have created within the city's previous vulnerability assessment, work that we had done with FDOT throughout the county to map and locate stormwater structures along US-1, and we modeled the performance of your stormwater management system, operations, and under various flooding conditions. It primarily looks at the flooding operations of your system with regard to rainfall, but we also have to look at what the system does when we see increased tidal flooding over time. And we have to model that tidal flooding condition out to 2100. That's not a number we pick. FEMA says, if you want to conduct a watershed Master Plan, you've got to model the 2100 condition. So we met all of that criteria, and built our model, and we were off, off to the races.

So, the grant deliverables have, been completed. Criteria, there's a significant manual of criteria that we have to meet, for participation in the CRS program. That criteria was updated in 2021, but it was also updated in 2025 when we were in the midst of this project and what we were doing. Luckily, the flooding scenarios that we chose to model were more conservative than what the changes were that occurred in 2025, so we didn't have to recalibrate anything.

The other thing that we did, what the grant requires is that we transmit the Watershed Master Plan to the entity that reviews that plan and scores it for credit. We are not required to actually receive a score on it, but our team, were really aggressive with the communities that we work with in this program, so we wanted to make sure that we had a preliminary score to make sure that the work product that we were producing was actually going to yield the result we want in the CRS program. So, our initial scoring sheet was 120, we met the criteria, with the only thing that we hadn't met, were not able to meet, was that we have to adopt the plan. So, as soon as the city adopts the plan, we know that we have at least 120 points within the CRS program, but we believe that they actually made an error, and that the city is actually entitled to 145 points, within the program. So any more points that you're getting within CRS is a good thing, because that's making progress towards increasing your class rating. So when we transmit the plan to ISO, when you're in your CRS review period, we will work with Lori to fight for those additional, 40, 25 points. And those 25 points are because you have a stormwater utility stormwater assessment ordinance already adopted and on the books. They basically want to see if you've got a plan, you've got some recommended projects, but do you have a funding source for it? And most communities implement stormwater improvements through a utility or assessment program, and you have that on books, so we think that you are entitled to those additional points. An important thing about a watershed master plan also is that it makes recommendations. We don't just model things, we make recommendations on what to do about it. And so there were 3 key project concepts we have some conceptual descriptions of what those projects would be, and we have some conceptual cost estimates in the Watershed Master Plan as well. I know the question coming, I do not have those cost estimates with me to be able to tell you what those are, but the first one is elevating structures that were identified to have a lower first finished lower elevation. Five structures were identified identify Project 2, installing additional pump-assisted ejection wells within the existing stormwater system. And Project 3, elevating roadways that are projected to be inundated by 2040 sea level rise or beyond, on Sadowski.

And so, these are the three key visible projects that we have recommended. We also have some policy recommendations related to updating the stormwater level of service within the comprehensive plan to account for tidal flooding conditions, because what we know as increased tidal flooding occurs, it reduces your ability to discharge rainfall-driven stormwater downstream. And so we want to make sure that any additional improvements to the stormwater system account for that condition. Looking at your shoreline ordinance updates, and what can be done there, and other regulations and policies. I do want to note that a key component of the Watershed Master Plan, when you go in to update it in 2031, they're not going to say, hey, did you implement everything that you said you were going to implement in 2026? There's no requirement that these things get actually implemented for credit in the plan. These are recommendations that could be subject to further analysis through a stormwater master plan or another component. So we did receive one comment from Commissioner Harding, who pointed out the history of the stormwater system and the stormwater, assessment program within the city. We had only talked about your last rate adoption in 2024. He thought it would be prudent to go ahead and add more language about the city's history in terms of levying selecting in your stormwater program overall. We are happy to do that. We don't think the document is incorrect. The thought is that it would benefit from a more robust description of the stormwater history within the city. So, your options would be to adopt the plan today. You have a resolution in front of you. I don't know, I defer to the city attorney whether you can adopt and direct us to add a couple of sentences and, you know, make that industry more robust, or if you want to bring it back, that's fine, whatever you think. And so, at the discretion of the city, we can either make those modifications, or you can adopt today, or again, I defer to him on process.

So that is my presentation. I do want to note that one of the other beneficial things of a watershed master plan is that it sets you up to create a foundation to pursue further grants from the state of Florida. For instance, the Florida Department of Emergency Management has provided grants to local communities to do stormwater master plans, which would give you conceptual project design, cost estimates, and lay the foundation for permitting for projects, so that might be a grant that's available to the city. The state's Resilient Florida program also provides grants for capital projects. And we now have a recommendation, for instance, on the road elevation along Sadowski. We're a year out. Those grants are due September 1 each year. That is not something just heading off the question, that is not something that can be pulled together in two weeks for this granting cycle. Those grants are highly competitive, so you want to plan a year out, but this kind of lays the foundation. If you wanted to pursue one of those grants next year. That provides up to a 50% cost share in this community, potentially, for road elevation, which other municipalities have been successful within the resilience of Florida program with it throughout the Keys. So this, this helps check that, that box.

The last thing I'll mention, as John is very aware, as he has sat in on the project meetings, there is another grant that is being implemented right now with the county and the municipalities to update the county and the municipality's vulnerability assessment to new sea level rise projections, as well as develop project concepts in what's known as an adaptation plan.

The identification of projects is a pathway in a vulnerability assessment is a pathway to grant funding from the state in the Resilient Florida program. So now that we have the Watershed Master Plan done, we can take all those project recommendations, dump them into the vulnerability assessment, and check that box to make you more competitive for a potential grant application in that program next year. So I'll stop there, and I can take any questions.

Foster: So, I personally want to this is this is another great tool to put in our toolbox for saving the citizens money, and if you look at the master plans we have in the city, we have one for the stormwater, we have one a plan for our sewer plant. I call it a system health plan. Master plan works. But this will really help us in our pursuit to go and get reductions in costs. And we've already been very successful in getting grants for stormwater mitigation. I mean, we've got millions, in fact, we've got $2.3 million on the table right down the start for flood mitigations on West Ocean Drive. So we've been very successful. This can only increase our ability, and you brought up Sadowski Highway. We're already putting a grant in for the engineering and planning, and we will have it done in two weeks. Will we not, guys? So, so we're kind of, we're not waiting, we're moving ahead, but again, this will help us in our, in our pursuit to protect the city, and bring down the cost of what it what it costs to keep insurance in here. So I can't thank you enough. It's been a lot of work, and we've been doing this for what, about 3 years now?

Deady: Yes, yeah, this state had a tough time with this program because when they got the federal money, they only had a certain amount of time to utilize it. So they had a very short, what I would call, burn rate on this grant when they awarded it, and luckily they were able to move that out so we could all complete the projects and do them well. So, yeah. Yes, it has been a longer effort than anticipated, but you got a great product.

Foster: Again, our CSR rating? Once this goes through, let's see what we get out of this. I've been able to track that 5 level, and this blends in very well with our vulnerability assessments that we have. There's just so many things that we've done that, I guess maybe people don't see, because it's just work. It's just stuff we do behind, you know, behind the scenes. But the faster plan just adds to our toolbox of things that we can do for the city. I can't thank you enough.

Deady: Sure.

276

00:41:54.170 --> 00:41:56.889

Tom: Mr. Mayor, I'd like to make a comment, if I may. Erin, I've read through your document, and it is obvious that you've put a lot of detailed work into the analysis of the flooding in KCB, and I think it's, I want to say thank you very much for the level of detail that's in there, and the amount of effort that went into it. I think it's a great piece of work.

One item that I would like to ask for you, I noticed that the Clara and Coral Lanes are not in this analysis, and I'd like to ask if we could have a professional opinion, if you will, or a judgment, about the vulnerability of the situation in Clara Lane. That has been a problem for us in the past and it would have been nice to see it in your report, but it wasn't there, and we'll do that when we next upgrade it. But I think, right now, we're planning to upgrade, to elevate Sadowski and that's part of that intersection up there. I'd like to just have a not an analysis, but a judgment, if you will, from professionals who know what they're doing about how sensitive is that, and should we address Sadowski and Clara Lane at the same time, for example. And you don't have to you don't have to do it right now, but whoever people who who are familiar with this system should take a look at it, I think.

283

00:43:22.020 --> 00:43:31.649

Deady: I may have an answer for you, because as I mentioned, and again, John knows this because he's participated in the meetings, in partnership with the county, the municipalities are updating the vulnerability assessment, and so that might be something that we can take a look at, because each municipality is going to have a deep dive in terms of the priority projects. So we're updating the flood risk analysis in that moving project right now. Secondarily, there was a partnership with the municipalities to conduct a roads analysis as well. So the data might already be there. So I think what we can do is prioritize that for Key Colony Beach in this other ongoing vulnerability assessment and adaptation plan process.

287

00:44:18.780 --> 00:44:20.599

Tom: I think that'll be very good. Thank you.

288

00:44:20.870 --> 00:44:21.720

Deady: Sure.

289

00:44:21.980 --> 00:44:30.430

Bartus: And then, Commissioner, I would be happy to work with Aaron and the group on this to make sure that Clara is included in any further resiliency events.

290

00:44:32.980 --> 00:44:41.130

Doug Colonell: Erin, this is, this is Commissioner Colonell. Hey, I just wanted to thank you, too, for the, hard work and, the report. I think you did a very nice job.

291

00:44:42.620 --> 00:44:43.920

Deady: Okay, thank you.

292

00:44:44.510 --> 00:44:49.340

City of Key Colony Beach: Okay, so, I think this brings us up to the magic time.

293

00:44:49.930 --> 00:44:59.089

Harding: Thank you. I'd like to make a motion to approve it, with the one small edit that I gave Erin for some updating.

294

00:45:00.940 --> 00:45:05.770

Foster: Okay, do I have a second? Second. Sylvie, do you have what the motion is?

295

00:45:06.330 --> 00:45:16.779

City of Key Colony Beach: And we will approve the watershed management plan with the storm update and with the recommendation by Commissioner Khan on the history. Yes. Okay. Any further discussion?

296

00:45:17.230 --> 00:45:21.220

City of Key Colony Beach: Roll call. Commissioner Harding? Yes. Commissioner Sanchez?

297

00:45:22.900 --> 00:45:23.570

Tom: Yes.

298

00:45:24.040 --> 00:45:25.300

City of Key Colony Beach: Vice sample amount?

299

00:45:25.300 --> 00:45:25.970

Doug Colonell: Yes.

300

00:45:26.510 --> 00:45:30.380

City of Key Colony Beach: Motion Adio? Yes. Fairfaxer? Yes. Motion approved.

301

00:45:30.580 --> 00:45:39.560

City of Key Colony Beach: And again, a lot of hard work on this, so it's nice to see this, this watershed Master Plan come together, and we can put that, help to the state now.

302

00:45:40.810 --> 00:45:55.859

Foster: All right, discussion approval for a one-year permit extension for 880 Shelter Bay. Tony, I think, you put this on because their construction permit is coming up to, expiration.

303

00:45:56.000 --> 00:46:00.240

Loreno: Yeah, it expires next month. Okay.

Foster: Does it qualify for coaling?

304

00:46:00.820 --> 00:46:07.969

Loreno: No.

Foster: Okay. All right, do I have a motion to approve the extension?

305

00:46:09.470 --> 00:46:10.590

Harding: Make a motion.

306

00:46:14.540 --> 00:46:15.480

Diehl: Second.

307

00:46:15.760 --> 00:46:16.330

Doug Colonell: Boom.

308

00:46:17.020 --> 00:46:21.760

Harding: I do have one discussion on short ways. Tony, I'm reading through the comment from the construction company. Just for clarity, I would probably want to make sure they realize this is 10% fee per month. It looks like in their letter, they're thinking it's a 10% total fee. A little bit different number.

Loreno: Yeah, we clarified with them, you know, when we first sent this out for our code and our 10%, and that's why we got the letter from them requesting the extension.

312

00:46:56.580 --> 00:47:00.819

Foster: Your plug may be the issue on that one. You may try the other one if you need to.

313

00:47:01.080 --> 00:47:03.390

Loreno: Is that good? Yeah, yeah.

314

00:47:04.600 --> 00:47:16.940

City of Key Colony Beach: Okay, so you got that, you've already explained that to them. Boy, we sent code, yeah, and I see it's plainly there to take it interesting at that. And we're not hearing it, but we got it. Okay. Okay,

315

00:47:17.490 --> 00:47:19.020

Foster: We had first or second? Any further discussion?

317

00:47:22.700 --> 00:47:27.129

City of Key Colony Beach: Roll call. Commissioner Diaz? Yes. Commissioner DeFrancisco?

318

00:47:27.410 --> 00:47:28.070

Tom: Yes?

319

00:47:28.210 --> 00:47:29.560

City of Key Colony Beach: Where's my phone number?

320

00:47:29.560 --> 00:47:30.380

Doug Colonell: Yes.

321

00:47:30.660 --> 00:47:40.560

City of Key Colony Beach: Commissioner Hardin? Yes. Mayor Foster? Yes,

Foster: but I have one caution, Tony. Based on the amount of work that has been done over this period of time. You probably need to explain what the process is if they go past this on top of that.

323

00:47:47.370 --> 00:48:03.100

Loreno: Yeah, we'll assure that he knows that.

Foster: So, to make sure, I don't want no surprises, I want to make sure they fully understand, you know, what the city ordinances are among us. So, I don't want anyone surprised. All right, thank you.

Harding: And with that, I think make sure you have a letter on file. Make sure you have a letter on file.

325

00:48:05.920 --> 00:48:07.590

Loreno: Will do. Thank you.

326

00:48:08.030 --> 00:48:09.460

City of Key Colony Beach: Okay.

327

00:48:11.060 --> 00:48:20.250

City of Key Colony Beach: Discussion approval of Florida Keys Stewardship Act funding distribution agreement. I'll, I'll talk about this. So, the

328

00:48:21.760 --> 00:48:22.840

City of Key Colony Beach: the funding for.

329

00:48:22.840 --> 00:48:24.229

Orestes Oreo Sanchez: Raise my hand, but they don't

330

00:48:27.270 --> 00:48:28.260

Orestes Oreo Sanchez: Nobody's actually

331

00:48:29.840 --> 00:48:30.790

City of Key Colony Beach: Oh, shit.

332

00:48:33.090 --> 00:48:37.980

Foster: Alright, so the The, stewardship guy.

333

00:48:37.980 --> 00:48:39.439

Orestes Oreo Sanchez: And nobody's acknowledging me.

334

00:48:41.070 --> 00:48:42.259

Tom: Raise his hand.

335

00:48:46.720 --> 00:48:48.800

City of Key Colony Beach: Alright, we ready to proceed?

336

00:48:49.470 --> 00:48:50.710

Foster: Alright, the stewardship

337

00:48:50.710 --> 00:48:54.640

Orestes Oreo Sanchez: Foster, I again, I raised my hand, Before you continue.

338

00:48:54.640 --> 00:48:56.730

City of Key Colony Beach: Yes, there's no comments.

339

00:48:56.860 --> 00:49:02.420

City of Key Colony Beach: Your opportunity was at the beginning, or you can also talk at the end.

340

00:49:03.640 --> 00:49:07.299

City of Key Colony Beach: Lower hand, it gives me a thumb. He should be able to comfort yourself.

341

00:49:07.800 --> 00:49:17.169

Foster: Okay. All right, so the Stewardship Act, this year gave us $20 million between, I think it's 8 entities? And we had a meeting we had a couple of meetings, but then we had our final meeting between the groups, and what we did was we went ahead and, instead of population, which is what it used to be, where we would only receive about $150,000 a year, we went ahead and discussed in detail, and it took a while, but we discussed in detail the needs for each of the cities. And we were able to demonstrate the need for Key County Beach based on the, our flood mitigation. Our streets, our sewer plant, and other things that qualify in that stewardship language. And we were able to secure $1.5 million each year for the next 5 years provided it's funded, and it has been historically, and we've actually done very good historically in it. And I gotta thank the staff and Mittenhauer and everyone else in the Commission for doing this, because putting these grants together and putting this documents together to satisfy the DEP that you have a shovel-ready project that benefits the language in the proviso language is important. So, through that that meeting, and it was it was a long meeting, John was on it, it was, we we went in with a mission, and we came out very well. We were able to secure $1.5 million per year for the next 5 years. That said, I think we did well. So now, looking for approval.

Harding: Make a motion to approve.

351

00:50:57.470 --> 00:50:58.570

Diehl: Second.

352

00:50:58.680 --> 00:51:13.259

Foster: Any discussion? Yeah, one discussion.

Harding: I do want to thank the mayor and the staff, John, and obviously Jason. I think the team did an excellent job, fighting for our needs. It was to let residents know, it was quite surprising. We put together a 5-year plan. And it was surprising how much money that we would really need to do all the work we really need to do. So again, thank you to the mayor and the staff for all the work.

Foster: And he's being a little humble, because I put him under a very tight time frame to produce a document that showed our needs. Between him and Jason, they were able to produce a very defendable document, so a lot of good work by this guy, by the Commission.

Diehl: Yeah, I would like to also ditto Commissioner Harding's response. Great job for all involved.

357

00:51:53.070 --> 00:51:53.760

City of Key Colony Beach: Nope.

358

00:51:54.040 --> 00:51:57.830

City of Key Colony Beach: So, with that said, roll call. Vice Mayor Colonel?

359

00:51:57.830 --> 00:51:58.560

Doug Colonell: Yes.

360

00:51:59.050 --> 00:52:03.119

City of Key Colony Beach: Commissioner Hardin? Yes. Commissioner Diaz? Yes. Commissioner DeFancisco?

361

00:52:03.120 --> 00:52:03.790

Tom: Yes?

362

00:52:04.020 --> 00:52:09.549

City of Key Colony Beach: Yes. Thank you. Okay,

363

00:52:09.770 --> 00:52:23.790

Foster: Discussion approval for the $250,000 funding request for the FDEP for Key Colony Beach Restoration project, which requires a 50%, $125,000 match of city funding Tom, you want to talk better if you may drop that?

365

00:52:28.090 --> 00:52:29.300

Harding: Sure, I'll talk about it. So the scope of this project is a engineering analysis, report. So it'd be a report specifically for Concallony Beach, West Ocean Drive to look at analysis of wave action and analysis of where placement of a Beach restoration project would go. And then once the engineering analysis is complete, then you could take that forward to the state, potentially for an appropriation, for actually construction implementation. So this is phase one of the project. And part of that beach restoration would include Sunset Park Beach. And one thing that, you know, when the mayor and myself went through this with the engineering firm is that, we don't have a really good documentation how much beach erosion there is. When I checked with some of our neighbors on West Ocean, it was kind of shocking to me, the beach erosion numbers we have. So one of the things it highlighted is we probably need more homework there. So, this is a great opportunity for us to get a grant op grant funding for the engineering, and then the match, is probably a placeholder at this point, and whether we can get private contributions from the private landowners along West Ocean could be very good, feasible to support that. And at the end of this, we would get a recommendation to take, hopefully, to a state appropriation. Our state representatives are very supportive of this. And have gotten recon have gotten appropriations for other neighboring areas within the teams.

Foster: So, a little history of this. We were in, in Representative Mooney's office, and he had this information on the board about Coco Plum and it and we we looked at it, and we're like, what is this? It said beach restorations. And this is a couple years back, and kind of With the conversation and talk about all the erosion on the beach, especially West Ocean, but East Ocean also has the same issue. We, we're able to to Get in touch with this company, get a presentation, and we we found it really really interesting, and enough time had passed that they've had proven success in many locations now. And currently, right now, Cocoa Plum, or Grassy Key. and Pigeon Key are slated to be deployed with these for protection of the shoreline. And it doesn't just protect the shoreline, it actually redevelops the beach. The design is such that the wave attenuation device, takes the energy from the wave and actually uses it underneath, and pulls the sand up and deposits on your beach, so you actually grow your beach. It's also been proven in Category 3 and 4 to lessen the damage to the island. It hasn't been through a Cat 5 yet, and knock on something, Wood, we never, we never see that, but it has demonstrated, a very substantial improvement to land restoration and loss of destruction from hurricanes. So this is really, really good stuff. And if you think about it, we also have nesting turtles on air that would, would benefit from that. And you have infrastructure impacts, I know I've seen it on East Ocean where the wave actually, when the tides are really high, will come over, and it comes all the way to the street. So that one impacts the undermine of the street itself, and if you have your sewer and water your sewer and stormwater catches there, you can you can impact your infrastructure with these types of activities from the ocean. So, I think I think we got a good story to tell, and we've I've also met with the Deputy Secretary of the DEP and explained with him what some of the issues are, and they're very keen on this. They like this. The company that, we're dealing with, there's a couple other companies, they have a proven track record. So I think this is really gonna be, something that we'll benefit on the land improvement, the beach improvement, and in addition to that, we can protect our infrastructure from the streets, the sewer, the storm, and if the science is like I believe it is, and I've read it, we have a Cat 2, Cat 3, Cat 4 storm. We may not have the boulders rolling through people's houses like we have, from Irma. So, I think it's really, really good stuff. I'd encourage you, the company's called Blue Terra. I'd encourage you to look at it. But the people that live along East and West Ocean, including all our infrastructure here, could really benefit from this. So, as Tom said, this is a placekeeper for us to move forward with, with the wave study and, if we can if we can demonstrate sufficient data and science and buy-in. Hopefully, we can get some private contributions. I've met with all the condo owners, at least most of them, and it's it's it's got traction, so I'm looking for approval on this, so we can go ahead and put this as a placekeeper, and we'll we'll move forward, because it only protects the city. At the end of the day, that's what it's going to do. So, enough about that. Any if you have any questions, anybody online, or anyone else, questions, reach out to the Sylvia, she'll be happy to send you the PowerPoint presentation, and we're going to keep moving that information forward with the with everyone as time goes. But we are looking for grants for the state and federal to pay for this. Well, enough of that, so I'll give a little background. So, I have a motion to approve.

401

00:58:50.410 --> 00:58:52.829

City of Key Colony Beach: Make the motion. Do I have a second? Second.

403

00:58:54.550 --> 00:58:56.260

Foster: Any further discussion?

404

00:58:56.600 --> 00:59:01.970

Tom: Mr. Mayor, I have a question. This, big clarification, this is only for the engineering, is that correct?

405

00:59:02.400 --> 00:59:07.609

Foster: The engineering and wave study, that is correct. They do the modeling and all that.

406

00:59:07.610 --> 00:59:17.650

Tom: So we're gonna go out with an RFP for an engineering firm to do the modeling and the wave study, and they will make an RFP to go out for the actual implementation, is that correct?

407

00:59:17.940 --> 00:59:25.400

Foster: They do the wave modeling themselves, and would have to work around the, the RFP requirements.

408

00:59:26.140 --> 00:59:27.840

Tom: Okay. Have we decided

409

00:59:27.840 --> 00:59:28.669

Foster: Oh, I agree. I think what the University of

411

00:59:33.050 --> 00:59:45.719

Harding: So, yeah, Tom, it would be a request for a single source, since this, university's done the majority of the studies at a very nominal cost.

412

00:59:46.530 --> 00:59:47.190

Tom: Okay. And then the execution of the actual work is by the same company, I understand.

414

00:59:52.360 --> 00:59:53.320

Harding: Correct.

415

00:59:53.320 --> 00:59:53.980

Tom: Okay.

417

00:59:56.240 --> 00:59:59.569

Foster: Okay. Thank you. Any further discussion?

418

01:00:00.580 --> 01:00:04.420

City of Key Colony Beach: Roll call. Commissioner Hardin? Yes. Commissioner DeFrancisco?

419

01:00:04.420 --> 01:00:05.110

Tom: Yes.

420

01:00:05.330 --> 01:00:06.300

City of Key Colony Beach: Why is my phone enough?

421

01:00:06.300 --> 01:00:07.110

Doug Colonell: Yes.

422

01:00:07.440 --> 01:00:11.079

City of Key Colony Beach: Yes. Mayor Foster? Yes.

423

01:00:11.270 --> 01:00:12.570

City of Key Colony Beach: More to come.

424

01:00:13.290 --> 01:00:15.240

City of Key Colony Beach: Okay, discussion of

425

01:00:15.420 --> 01:00:27.700

City of Key Colony Beach: Let's make sure. The discussion approval request for a minor site plan amendment was properly located at 400 Sadowski Marina, Restaurant and Shopping Center, per the recommendation of Plan and Zoning. George, you're up.

426

01:00:35.240 --> 01:00:39.520

City of Key Colony Beach: We heard this at our meeting yesterday, and the Planning Commission

427

01:00:39.830 --> 01:00:44.960

City of Key Colony Beach: order to, recommend the prison. Great.

428

01:00:45.430 --> 01:01:09.560

City of Key Colony Beach: I don't think I need, you guys to speak. It's real simple. They're, they're just maybe moving a dumpster from one location, which would have been next to the neighbors, and also a very nice boat to park there, too. And it's, it's a very nice gesture on, the part of, Jim Figuero, and he's here, and I do appreciate it, because that, we all know what dumpsters,

429

01:01:09.559 --> 01:01:13.559

City of Key Colony Beach: You know, they're not pleasant, and they bring unpleasant friends.

430

01:01:13.559 --> 01:01:23.919

City of Key Colony Beach: So, it's, it's well appreciated. I know you paid for this out of your pocket, and we're grateful for that. So, if we have another discussion, I'm looking for approval.

431

01:01:25.070 --> 01:01:27.380

City of Key Colony Beach: Make a motion to approve. Second.

432

01:01:27.510 --> 01:01:29.379

City of Key Colony Beach: Any further discussion?

433

01:01:30.470 --> 01:01:35.570

City of Key Colony Beach: Roll call. Commissioner Dion? Yes. Commissioner Morgan? Yes. Commissioner DeFrancisco?

434

01:01:35.570 --> 01:01:36.240

Tom: Yes.

435

01:01:36.519 --> 01:01:37.649

City of Key Colony Beach: Vice President Colonel?

436

01:01:37.649 --> 01:01:38.439

Doug Colonell: Yes.

437

01:01:38.710 --> 01:01:47.149

City of Key Colony Beach: Yes, and again, I appreciate your willingness to work with the neighbors here, and that was a very nice gesture, and it's, not

438

01:01:47.280 --> 01:01:51.239

City of Key Colony Beach: Not unrecognized. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

439

01:01:52.290 --> 01:02:09.029

City of Key Colony Beach: All right. Might as well stay up, George. Excellent gear, too. Not sitting down yet. All right, discussion approval for the installation of a 16,000-pound four-post elevator boat lift for the property located at 101 East Ocean Drive, Unit

440

01:02:09.180 --> 01:02:22.699

City of Key Colony Beach: B11, per the recommendations of the Planning and Zoning Board. George? Actually, it's slip B11. There's a group of, slips along there. That's one of them. The Planning Commission recommended approval of this

441

01:02:22.910 --> 01:02:36.740

City of Key Colony Beach: This lift. Okay, no concerns? No, there weren't any concerns at all in the discussion. Great. Appreciate the good work and, your leadership there, too. Thank you. All right, so do I have a recommendation to approve? Motion to approve.

442

01:02:36.890 --> 01:02:39.750

City of Key Colony Beach: Second. Any further discussion?

443

01:02:40.940 --> 01:02:43.359

City of Key Colony Beach: Roll call. Commissioner DeFrancisco?

444

01:02:43.930 --> 01:02:44.640

Tom: Yes.

445

01:02:44.640 --> 01:02:47.300

City of Key Colony Beach: Commissioner Adio? Yes. Vice President Colonel?

446

01:02:47.300 --> 01:02:48.090

Doug Colonell: Yes.

447

01:02:48.440 --> 01:02:51.140

City of Key Colony Beach: Commissioner Hardin? Yes. Yes.

448

01:02:51.650 --> 01:02:52.570

City of Key Colony Beach: Great.

449

01:02:52.930 --> 01:02:59.290

City of Key Colony Beach: Okay, discussion approval and proposal by Chrome Lines, Arm.

450

01:02:59.470 --> 01:03:17.260

City of Key Colony Beach: for a 12-month subscription, the operational intelligence, Tom, this is all great for me, I'm gonna turn it over to you. Okay, so Harn came to Shane, asked for if they could go over some technical options for software for him.

451

01:03:17.410 --> 01:03:25.509

City of Key Colony Beach: Shane asking to talk to me about it. I had a couple meetings with the software person and their service person.

452

01:03:25.830 --> 01:03:42.919

City of Key Colony Beach: So this is a one-year contract. They basically take the operational data, put that into an app, put that into a graphing software format, so it makes it a lot easier for the operator to document maintenance, document status.

453

01:03:43.060 --> 01:03:44.570

City of Key Colony Beach: provide

454

01:03:45.600 --> 01:04:02.130

City of Key Colony Beach: past history and plots, and then, obviously, keep us informed of that. So it's a great operational tool to have preventive maintenance. One of the neat things that's all everyone's doing now is they're bringing in from the internet, they're bringing in the weather forecasts.

455

01:04:02.170 --> 01:04:16.780

City of Key Colony Beach: So with that, in this leadership board or dashboard they do, they can actually bring up recommendations based on the upcoming weather. You can imagine this is about the RO system, so you can imagine, hey, it's going to rain for 4 days. Well, do I need to unrun the RO?

456

01:04:17.000 --> 01:04:30.249

City of Key Colony Beach: Or it's going to be dry for 10 days. We even better be running the RO. So, I thought it was a great technology tool. I feel very comfortable with it, so, I would recommend, the Commission approve.

457

01:04:30.410 --> 01:04:35.419

City of Key Colony Beach: And is this within the budget for, stormwater or wastewater? Yes, it is. Okay.

458

01:04:35.720 --> 01:04:36.920

City of Key Colony Beach: Okay.

459

01:04:37.140 --> 01:04:39.810

City of Key Colony Beach: Recommendation for approval? Make a motion.

460

01:04:39.970 --> 01:04:43.100

City of Key Colony Beach: Second? Second. Any further discussion?

461

01:04:43.930 --> 01:04:46.199

City of Key Colony Beach: Roll call. Vice Mayor Colonel?

462

01:04:46.200 --> 01:04:46.990

Doug Colonell: Yes.

463

01:04:47.330 --> 01:04:51.990

City of Key Colony Beach: Commissioner Harga? Yes. Commissioner Dio? Yes. Commissioner DeVansinko?

464

01:04:51.990 --> 01:04:52.740

Tom: Yes.

465

01:04:52.740 --> 01:05:02.240

City of Key Colony Beach: Mayor Costco? Yes. Motion approved. Great. Discussion of approval of the Pedro Falcon request for change orders. Commissioner Colomel, can you walk us through these?

466

01:05:02.610 --> 01:05:08.380

Doug Colonell: Sure. Pco 14, Revision 4 for the revised, ductwork at Marble Hall for $26,888.73 is to replace all that old fiberboard that was in the, Marble Hall that was musty and, biologically incorrect. So we're replacing it with, new metal duct, hard duct, with a, duct wrap which is what we should be doing, really. The time extension these change orders, we do have a time extension. I noticed in the parentheses here, it says time's not defined, but that's been part of this go back and forth with the contractor for the last two weeks over all these change orders. We did negotiate a 7-day add to that. The ductwork, you know, is, critical to doing the ceiling and some electrical work, and some, HVAC work, so we saw fit that, the architect and I went back and forth with them, quite a bit, but, so we, we felt that 7 days was fair. So I would recommend that we approve this, and let them replace that ductwork. The

475

01:06:18.290 --> 01:06:20.800

City of Key Colony Beach: I'm sorry, Todd.

476

01:06:20.800 --> 01:06:22.379

Doug Colonell: Any questions on the ductwork?

477

01:06:22.780 --> 01:06:25.299

City of Key Colony Beach: No, I think you could just do them all, and if we have any questions.

478

01:06:25.300 --> 01:06:27.479

Doug Colonell: I was gonna do, I was gonna just run through the whole thing.

479

01:06:27.820 --> 01:06:28.280

City of Key Colony Beach: Great.

480

01:06:28.280 --> 01:06:34.470

Doug Colonell: The, the insulation, I don't know, how to really say this but the but the architects maybe missed it, and it they missed it because of maybe a change condition, or they didn't see it in their in their discovery, or their their pre-project planning. But, we're going to foam, spray foam the underside of the of the roof deck in the administrative area, in the new part of the building. And, then we're gonna put, bat insulation at the bottom of the trusses kind of creating a, a seal. So the foam would be on the underside of the roof deck, down the wall to the bottom quarter of the trusses. The trusses would then get furry strips and, bat insulation, R16 R21, I'm sorry, on the foam and the batts Jen, and we did give them a time extension of 5 days on that. They had asked for 10, and we negotiated for 5. So I would suggest we do that one as well.

The PCO21 replaced the existing air handling units. We replaced one because we thought that there was one unit that was bad, but in fact, both units are about the same age, and they're both they're both on their dying leg. So, this is the time to replace those, and so we had one unit already approved, and it's already set, and we want to approve the second unit. And part of that change order is the line sets, between the condenser and the air handler they're criss-crossed. So, the one on the west runs to the condenser on the east, and the one on the east runs to the condenser on the west, which is ridiculous, and inefficient. The other thing that we wanted to do was get a programmable T-Stat so that thermostats so that we can control the units in a more efficient manner, instead of both units running at the same time all the time, that, you know, one unit would be the slave to the system. You know, you would run one unit, and if it called for more cooling or heat, then, you know, we would kick in the other unit. So, it's a more efficient system, and, you know, we're building a brand new building. It's kind of like getting a new car with new upholstery and new tires and leaving the old engine in. So, I would suggest that we do that as well. And and that one is we also have a time we define the time on that one, too. Let me just find it, I've got so many of these things. That was also a 7-day, so in total, you got 14 days on the mechanical, issues.

The next item Let me just get back to where it was here, Okay, PCO22 is for the, the pergola on the, on the main patio. The slab we changed the slab, if you remember, we originally had a 6-inch slab, and we changed the slab to a 4-inch slab, and we we were going to build the slab ourselves, and then it ran we ran out of contract time on the alternate with the contractor, and they came back and said, well heck, we'll do it for the same price, but instead of a 6-inch slab, we'll give you a 4-inch slab. Well, one of the things that has been complicated with this is that the 4-inch slab is not adequate for the pergola. So what we did is we persuaded, Pedro Falcon and Bella to build us a 7-inch, perimeter, which will be sufficient for the pergola. So, this is the pergola, and it's through a premium pergola. It's, it's a very nice pergola, I was thinking white, and I think the architect was thinking white, but they make them in other colors, and they make them in bronze, and so I've asked for some information from the manufacturer, and the other nice thing is that we are doing this outside of the architect's contract. He has nothing to do with this. So we won't pay a premium to him, and the contractor has agreed, to do this at a 5% fee, but it falls under his umbrella, which is a very clean way of doing this, instead of introducing a new contractor, and, you know, we go back to the finger-pointing, and so it makes a lot of sense, so I would suggest that we go forward with that one. As far as a schedule goes, we can't tie Pedro Falcon the contractor into any timeframe on this. It's a 14 to 16 week lead item, so, it's not fair to tie that into a and we and we don't want to give them a 14 weeks, extension for this, so the time would be outside of our contract with them. So I think it's a good deal, and I would urge the board to, to approve it. So, there we are. Any questions?

509

01:11:36.580 --> 01:11:43.579

City of Key Colony Beach: Actually, we also have the new additions, Vice Mayor. We have PCO 17, Revision 1, and PCO 18.

510

01:11:44.230 --> 01:11:47.020

Doug Colonell: Oh, right. Is that the added documents, Sylvia?

511

01:11:47.420 --> 01:11:48.500

City of Key Colony Beach: Mr.

512

01:11:48.500 --> 01:11:56.590

Doug Colonell: Okay, PCO17 oh, that was for the data site conduit, sorry about that. I believe the utilities, the public utilities, had asked for two additional conduits and sleeves under the parking lot, so Pedro Falcon, in the goodness of their heart, went ahead and put these in, which was which was I appreciate what they did. When they were on site, you know, boring under the parking lot to put these lines in, they went ahead and did that. It's a minor cost. It was brought on by the the public utilities requirements. It had nothing to do with, you know, it's it's just typical when you're working with a public, utility. So those are new data conduits, that are that we have sleeve way, raceway for for our our communications, etc.

I see PCO18 is the east unit of the air handling unit. I kind of thought we'd already had that one approved, but, we're replacing both units, so this would be the other unit. One we're calling the west, and another one we're calling the east. So, I think that cleans up a lot of old mysteries inside Marble Hall. We also did well, never mind, I'll get to that later. Okay, so that that takes care of the 6 change orders, Sylvia, 5 change orders? 6

523

01:13:15.690 --> 01:13:16.760

City of Key Colony Beach: Thanks.

524

01:13:16.760 --> 01:13:17.220

Tom: Six.

525

01:13:17.220 --> 01:13:17.790

Doug Colonell: Okay. So, I would, suggest that we I'm recommending that we that we approve all these things and, and, go forward.

527

01:13:26.760 --> 01:13:35.430

Foster: Okay, so I'll make the motion that's to approve PCO 14, 17, 18, 20, 21 and 22, is that correct? Correct.

529

01:13:38.870 --> 01:13:39.380

Doug Colonell: Correct.

530

01:13:39.380 --> 01:13:40.979

Foster: So that's the motion.

531

01:13:41.700 --> 01:13:47.190

City of Key Colony Beach: Do you make motion? Second? Second. All right, any further discussion?

532

01:13:47.330 --> 01:13:49.400

Harding: One, one minor question. Doug, the pergola for the city staff area, is there a plan for that?

534

01:13:56.620 --> 01:13:57.710

Doug Colonell: An umbrella.

He thought that we thought that an umbrella, a really nice umbrella no, in all seriousness, Tom, I mean, this thing's pretty expensive, and the one that we're doing over the main patio is really nice, and I think it will really add to, our ability to rent that hall for weddings, etc. You know, it, I just don't you know, if the city wants to spend more money and build a pergola over the staff, that's fine too. But I didn't I didn't pursue that one because quite frankly, I was a little taken aback that it was this much money, and this is a this is a you know, so I but I thought, you know, hey, the staff patio would be great with a big one of those big square articulating umbrellas would be great for them. And that's a much smaller patio. And but if you want to pursue another one, I'd be happy to go back to premium and ask them to give us one for that, too. Is that what you want me to do, Tom?

541

01:14:52.220 --> 01:14:58.359

City of Key Colony Beach: Well, the first is I was just tracking it as an item that we need to put in the budget.

542

01:15:00.350 --> 01:15:15.099

City of Key Colony Beach: I, you know, I what I'm I think I'm fine with as a commission is, do we wait and evaluate? I I think we proceed with what we have, we can always add a park load. Right, right, let's just wait and evaluate.

543

01:15:15.100 --> 01:15:20.879

City of Key Colony Beach: way much too much time in this now, and I don't want to add any more to it. Yeah, that's fine.

544

01:15:20.930 --> 01:15:29.560

City of Key Colony Beach: So, no, I think we're good, Doug. The umbrella will work for now, and this'll be so nice over the side. I'm sure the staff will just go over there to enjoy their lunch anytime.

545

01:15:29.790 --> 01:15:41.760

Doug Colonell: I figured that an umbrella would be a lot easier for when Silvia's out there sunbathing. She wouldn't have any the sun wouldn't be blocked by the pergola. She could roll down the umbrella and get a full sun.

546

01:15:42.210 --> 01:15:44.660

City of Key Colony Beach: Thank you, Vice Mayor, I appreciate that.

547

01:15:44.660 --> 01:15:45.690

Doug Colonell: You're welcome.

548

01:15:46.750 --> 01:15:54.519

City of Key Colony Beach: Okay, so as long as she's got internet up there. Well, we'll do the whole thing in one shot.

549

01:15:54.520 --> 01:15:58.180

Doug Colonell: We all know that Silvia doesn't have time to do any sunbathing.

550

01:16:01.190 --> 01:16:09.109

City of Key Colony Beach: All right, so we have the first, second, we've had our discussion. Anything else? Roll call. Commissioner Hardin? Yes. Commissioner DeFancisco?

City of Key Colony Beach: That was a long 3 years on that one.

City of Key Colony Beach: Do I have a motion? Motion. Do I have a second? Second.

City of Key Colony Beach: Resolution 2026, TAC 11, a resolution of the City Peak

588

01:19:06.560 --> 01:19:20.609

City of Key Colony Beach: Colony Beach, Florida, supporting the Key Colony Beach Restoration and Protection Project, authorizing the City to serve as a local sponsor for Florida Department of Environmental Protection Beach Management.

591

01:19:40.740 --> 01:19:44.740

592

01:19:44.930 --> 01:19:45.610

Tom: Yes.

593

01:19:45.610 --> 01:19:46.770

City of Key Colony Beach: Bismet lunam?

594

01:19:46.770 --> 01:19:47.530

Doug Colonell: Yes.

595

01:19:47.860 --> 01:19:54.580

City of Key Colony Beach: Resolution of Dan? Yes. Mayor Foster? Yes. Resolution of that. Okay, I think we're on a roll, so let's go.

596

01:19:54.760 --> 01:20:06.599

Harding: Okay, Secretary of Treasurer's report, so I'll do the two-page financial, starts on page 14,042. Page 1, page 1. We're in the 10th month, 10th month of the 2026 fiscal year, which you can see in the general fund is we've got now a negative balance, so we're at that time of year that, the positive balance, the running balance, goes down to a negative value what are typical revenue coming in now is business tax licenses, so Tony's a very important person right now, bringing that in. So you'll see that fluctuate between zero and negative for the rest of the year. Total revenue is in good shape. We're very close to what we estimated in the budget. Total expenses, were actually very close to budgeted value, so some of the last-minute requests going in have, helped to get us back to the budget value. Building fund still is in good shape, with a positive value of $64,000. The city, we all realize this, but City Hall Harding brand has been fully utilized, and the full reimbursement has been received. Thank you. Pickleball shade payment was paid and reimbursement requested from TDC. Infrastructure, we did have, reimbursement to the Seattle grant in July, and then, it'll show up in the August financials of almost a million dollars, so that, has been received, but it'll be in next month's financials. No pay requests received for July for the City Hall project. And then, payments have started for, the City Hall loan, and then we still have the, infrastructure loan for Sadowski, so both of those payments have been made. And Wastewater is the next page. Again, we're in the 10th month. Income is very close to what we expected in the budget. Expenses are over budget, and we'll end up the year being over budget, really driven by sledge hauling and plant maintenance. I do expect the end of the year will be negative. Again, this is really driven by the increased expense of sledge hauling, which Was increased for, budgetary planning for next year.

I do want to make a recommendation, either we do a motion or get a head nod, but looking at the expenses for sledge hauling, I think we're at a point we should ask for a formal proposal from Jason at mid-hour, or, I'm sorry, CPH to, do a business case analysis of options for, processing in-house for sledge hauling that could be many options could be centrifuge, could be screw press, drying beds, more usage of drying beds. So I'm basically looking for an engineering analysis of is that a good, feasible business case with some business estimates for the construction? Not to actually go for a loan or anything, or a grant or anything at this point. Typically, Jason's prices for those are about $15,000 to do, an engineering analysis, so I'd like to get feedback, if everybody would like to go forward with that.

Foster: Is that a motion to let him do this, not to exceed $15,000? Yeah, I think that'd be a good policy.

Harding: I would make a motion to not exceed $15,000.

Foster: Okay. All right, so we have first and second. Any further discussion?

622

01:23:51.300 --> 01:23:58.640

City of Key Colony Beach: Good idea. Roll call. Commissioner Diaz? Yes. Commissioner Harding? Yes. Commissioner DeFasco?

623

01:23:58.640 --> 01:23:59.160

Tom: Yes.

624

01:23:59.320 --> 01:24:00.680

City of Key Colony Beach: Buys more milk?

625

01:24:00.680 --> 01:24:01.360

Doug Colonell: Yes.

626

01:24:01.580 --> 01:24:09.769

City of Key Colony Beach: May I have one second? Yes.

Harding: And then the last comment, stormwater, we're at a balance in our savings check-in of $592,000. We're actually over budget for fees that have come in, so we're in good shape. Any questions?

628

01:24:18.490 --> 01:24:20.140

City of Key Colony Beach: Good reports. Thank you.

629

01:24:20.670 --> 01:24:38.240

City of Key Colony Beach: Okay, so the attorney's report. Jimmy?

Hicks: Yes, Mayor, thank you. Just one matter, this relates to the issues that were discovered this year with the PIN files and the slab at City Hall, under a previous contract by the King's Enterprises which discovery necessitated 3 change orders to the current project. That is, change orders to demolition, a change order for CBGH for design, and a change order, for Pedro Falcon for rework. Since we're in public setting, I would like to say that, you know, I would encourage us not to have discussions about the facts or the merits of the case or numbers per se. We have, however, done our calculations and our analysis, and so we would like a consensus, if you will, to open negotiations, to authorize us to open negotiations with the Kings Enterprises to cover all economic damages and attorney's fees that we have identified. We we have identified economic damages in the amount of $300,000. The attorney's fees would be the past, present, and future. That would be a number that, you know, will change and will refine, but the demand would be, you know, the demand for negotiation would be $300,000 plus those attorney's fees. We're not asking at this point for any permission to file a lawsuit. Any responses that come back from TKE, we can bring to you. So, we're looking for, again, your consensus, and if you prefer a motion, we can have a vote, but I'm fine with a consensus that there's no objection to authorize us to set the seat.

Foster: So, I'll I'll mimic what Doug's gonna say. Is it worth the squeeze? In other words, are we gonna spend $200,000 to get the $100,000 back?

638

01:26:10.050 --> 01:26:13.050

Doug Colonell: Let me, let me say something here, Mr. Mayor. I've been talking to, our lawyers about this, and it I believe that it's apparent, you know, it the need to move the needle on this and to go and to move forward instead of letting it sit is part of whether or not the juice is worth the squeeze in the end. The sooner the better, without running up a bunch of legal fees and and just a false pretense. I believe the city has been injured, and we should seek our damages. One thing, Jimmy, that you didn't mention that I would like to include, I think the damages in terms of time, we lost 56 days on this project. And if and if dollars were equated, that's $1,500 a day, so that's somewhere around $80,000 or $90,000. We we are entitled to that as well, I believe. So I would like to include that in your ask, and I'm hoping that you had that in there, or maybe, maybe, you add that to it. But, yeah, I think that we need to move this ahead, Mr. Mayor, so that we do get to that answer, and the sooner the better and start these negotiations that, you know, they I think they I'm all for this, so that's my two cents.

646

01:27:24.450 --> 01:27:43.470

Hicks: And Commissioner Colonell, the point you raised is included in that number of $300,000. Okay, good. And to address the issue about cost expenses, is it worth a squeeze, you know, at this point, we're talking about some back and forth. We're not talking about preparing a lawsuit, filing a lawsuit, litigation, simply some back and forth for the demand at this point. Anything more than that, obviously, we can bring back to you.

Foster: Okay, so I I'm in agreement to move forward with it, but keep close communication with the treasurer so we know before I don't want to see this run away with the cost on the attorney fees.

649

01:28:01.360 --> 01:28:17.630

Harding: Yeah, so Jimmy, what I would suggest, just create a code that you guys always track by, and then I'll just review that in the monthly expenses. Okay.

Foster: Okay, so we have the motion. I think Doug made the motion to go ahead, we'll have a second. We don't have the motion yet.

650

01:28:17.770 --> 01:28:19.459

Doug Colonell: I'll make the motion to go ahead.

651

01:28:21.350 --> 01:28:24.559

City of Key Colony Beach: I'll second. Okay, any further discussion?

652

01:28:25.060 --> 01:28:27.479

City of Key Colony Beach: Roll call. Commissioner DeFancisco?

653

01:28:27.500 --> 01:28:28.400

Tom: Yes.

654

01:28:28.400 --> 01:28:31.180

City of Key Colony Beach: Commissioner Diaz? Yes. Vice Maynard?

655

01:28:31.180 --> 01:28:31.880

Doug Colonell: Yes.

656

01:28:32.190 --> 01:28:39.770

City of Key Colony Beach: Commissioner Foster? Yes. Mayor Foster? Yes. Okay, you got your, your directions, Demi. Yes, sir, and that's all I have.

657

01:28:40.130 --> 01:28:44.069

City of Key Colony Beach: All right, commissioner Harding.

658

01:28:44.290 --> 01:28:52.300

Harding: Yeah, so one page I missed, which is kind of an important page, I guess. So the budget. So, I'll let you know that we got we have two budgets, general budget, utility, stormwater budget, wastewater, stormwater budget. So, first, thank you to Fred Swanson. He found some errors in the Excel sheet of the stormwater wastewater, so

Foster: Were they good errors?

660

01:29:11.520 --> 01:29:20.449

Harding: Yeah, they were good errors. They were good errors. Some of them were formula errors, but so I went through all those, Fred, I've got all those corrected, so thank you. Really no other edits to, I made a few minor changes to the grant information in that file, so Sylvia's got the latest file. On the general budget, we did get our health insurance increase, it's 15% for next year. I did have an increase in there, but it wasn't 15%, so that hurt us a little bit. Dental insurance, there was no change, and then, my joke for the day is, we are so active in grants. Every month, the sheet changes. So, so I got the latest from Sylvia, and I will tell you it will be outdated by September 1st, which is a good thing. So anyways, it's all updated with all the grant information the file is. And then the one thing, Mike, if you can help us, but I'm still waiting for the Marathon Expected, amount for next year. So, I've got a value in there, but it's value, so we'll make a final change to that. So it's in good shape. If anybody's got any questions, concerns. And I think the only thing would be the minor edit to the EMS fire, and then if we have any other new information to grant before the September meeting.

672

01:30:41.920 --> 01:30:48.149

Foster: Great. And if I'm not mistaken, we got all $2.3 million for the City Hall out of that grant?

673

01:30:48.670 --> 01:30:51.949

City of Key Colony Beach: Yeah, that's good news. Yeah, right down to the wire, yep.

674

01:30:53.010 --> 01:30:57.619

Harding: And then, so the next thing is wastewater sampling for me and my updates. So the only item is really COVID-19, and if you've been paying attention to papers, COVID-19 is increasing throughout the country. I I was shocked at the number for, the 28th of July, which is right around mid-season. It was the highest number we have ever, ever seen. I was shocked by that. And then what you do see with, Monroe County. Miami and Broward County, they're slightly increasing, the state's slightly increasing, which is now, obviously, the country's increasing. That's really the only item in the wastewater management.

Awareness, the CDC is funded through the middle of September. There's no updates, after that funding, so we'll find out by the middle of September if they're funded again, but up until the middle of September, they're funded.

Foster: So that spike has went down then, right?

Harding: Yeah, the spike has went down. What I would say from that spike is, what you'll see in the Monroe County data, it will show up about 3 weeks later. It takes a little while to show up.

And then, the last thing I've got, on the wastewater painting project, I did get the paint specification from Sherman Williams. It's about a 16-17 page document of how to prep, how to prime, how to all do all the painting, specifications for all those. So that's with the staff now. Just as a reminder, we need to get that out for a request for quote for 18 contractors you know, for the plan. And then one thing I did clarify, I finally I spent about a couple hours with the insurance person over there at the plant We have 2 steel tanks and 2 cement tanks, the four tanks, so, just let everybody know. So anyways, we'll have to get that request for quote, but, that's should be all the data's into CERTA.

686

01:33:01.340 --> 01:33:08.680

Foster: Right, yeah, those tanks need, especially the steel ones. Steel ones start chasing something else if we don't want to.

687

01:33:09.160 --> 01:33:10.450

Doug Colonell: Mr. Mayor? If I may, Tom, I have a question, or maybe it's a question for the staff or the commission, but when we go to paint these, tanks, who is going to be the responsible party to supervise the work? Not that I don't trust painters, but, Yes. you know, one coat, a pretty thick coat, might suffice as two coats. So, I just would like to know that we have someone that is watching you know, we're keeping an eye on it. I don't know who that person is, or if we've thought about, But I'd like to make sure that we have someone supervise that.

694

01:33:50.150 --> 01:33:52.140

Harding: Y-yeah, And Doug, the way that process works, so the document I've got, what I'm familiar with, I've done this a few times now, is they you get a if you complete that document with Sherwin-Williams, you get a 10-year warranty. So what happens, the painter preps the material, they call out Sherwin-Williams. Did you do the prep right? Yes, sir. They put a prime on, and then they call Sherwin-Williams back, and they can't do the final coat of paint, or paints, until they come out and do that. So there's 3 inspections by the local Sherman-Williams. And then after the end of that, you get a 10-year warranty. In addition to that, when they schedule those, which I done with my condom, they asked for the owner to be present also during that inspection, so we'll have to designate somebody between Mike or somebody from the staff to do that, but and I can I can do that, too, if needed.

700

01:34:49.860 --> 01:34:55.089

Doug Colonell: Exactly, that's what I was looking for. You know, the prep work is probably more important than the paintwork anyway.

701

01:34:55.090 --> 01:34:55.610

Harding: Right.

702

01:34:55.610 --> 01:35:11.029

Doug Colonell: So, you know, I just wanted to make sure someone was watching our asset there. You know, it's nice that you've got Sherwin-Williams standing behind it, and that's all well and good, but I would hope we would have someone that would be you know, I'd volunteer to do it if I'm I'd hopefully be in town when it's going on. I'd volunteer to do it if you needed someone to do it, so

704

01:35:20.980 --> 01:35:29.840

Harding: Yeah, and what I've seen in Sherwin-Williams, they're very thorough. In fact, I've had one case, they had to come back and do some fixes, so it's not they're very thin.

705

01:35:30.110 --> 01:35:50.079

Doug Colonell: Yeah, I had them, we painted over a green surface in my entire house when we first moved in, and and they the painters painted my house 5 or 6 times, and Sherwin-Williams was involved, and the paint was deemed bad. The first go-round on the paint, it was deemed a faulty faulty batch. So we ended up, you know, 5 or 6 times painting the painting my house, so it's got a lot of white paint on it. But, anyway, I just want to bring that up.

708

01:36:01.150 --> 01:36:02.340

Foster: Alright, thanks. All done. Yes. Okay. Commissioner Dale.

711

01:36:09.250 --> 01:36:15.699

Diehl: All right, I'm gonna give you the second update for the, 70th Birthday Committee. We had a Zoom meeting last week. Again, this meeting was very productive. Probably in October, November, I'll have a calendar pretty much set up where we're what we're looking at. November should be the final meeting where we can kind of cement everything in place as far as the days are concerned. But as of right now, it looks like We'll have a we have somebody that's gonna run our golf tournament. He's gonna take it from start to finish and take care of the whole thing. I believe that's gonna be on Wednesday, but there is a conflict, I think, on Wednesday with the ladies' golf tournament, so I believe David will reach out to Cindy, see? what we can work down that day. And then later that day, there will be a Blue Allen behind the jacks. Thursday, it's a pretty packed day with some sporting events. You've got bocce ball, cornhole. Bajai, and then, we the tentative, happy hour would be possibly a key Colony inn for 3 to 6. And then they can stroll over to Marble Hall, and there'll be a Texas holding tournament. So, that's Thursday. Friday, we're looking at a Snapper Derby held at the Keytown Arena, and I believe one of the committee members will be reaching out to Jim about the awards ceremony at the Naughty Turtle. Saturday will be Hot Dogs in the Park. Will the police department, along with band and Beer just like our welcome back party was this spring. And Sunday will be pretty much, taken care of by the 90 volunteers that Ted and the Community Association have, but we are adding a commissioner's Breakfast which we're limiting to 250 people. And, of course, the parade will be starting at 11:30 that Sunday morning. So, that's all I have right now for an update. There'll be more to come in from September's meeting, and like I said, probably October, November, we'll have a calendar that will be displayed along with my updates, so everybody can see how this is coming into play.

729

01:38:26.850 --> 01:38:44.800

Foster: Great. Jim, you're gonna be, you're gonna be very involved in this, so you know. Just, just volunteering ahead of time. Yes, sir. And I, we, like always, we appreciate your participation in the city, and, we look forward to that. Also, probably nobody has seen the 70th, birthday. Just a little history, you know, us, the Commission came up with the 70th birthday, idea, and we went forward, met with Teddy, and that's kind of how we ended up there. But, the community association took it upon themselves to go ahead and design the 70th birthday, shirt. And I gotta tell you, if you haven't seen it, it's, it's really nice. It's a good knockout. And, they won't that shirt will not have the any sponsors on it. It's gonna be a nice, clean shirt. There's, there's short sleeve, long sleeve, you know, I think there's gonna be some hoodies, and, the community association will be selling those shirts, and, I look forward to people, buying them and, enjoying them. And we'll, work with the Community Association at the end of the year to come up with a good place for them to, help the city out. But, Jan Pfluegler, she's the one that designed that shirt, I think there was some input, but that was all I'd ask and hadn't seen. But, I think they had some input from the other committee members, but, I believe I was told that that was her her, endeavor, so it's a nice shirt. If you see her, you can let her know that, that was well done.

736

01:40:09.770 --> 01:40:21.990

Doug Colonell: I have a I have a question. Congressman Deal there. Hey, on your 70th 70th, birthday, what, whatever came of the fireworks? Are we gonna have fireworks?

737

01:40:22.370 --> 01:40:30.789

Diehl: It's it was tabled, I think it's in future discussions, but yes, if the fireworks are approved, it'll be behind the Key County Inn right after the band plays on Sunday, right at the gazebo there, so it'll just be the band ends, and then the fireworks will begin slightly to the left of that area, but that's still in discussion. I think we need to you know, reach out to some individuals and get some final approval, and we'll move from there.

Foster: Yeah, I need to talk with Jim to figure out how to figure that out.

740

01:40:53.970 --> 01:41:09.769

Diehl: And also, I'd just like to thank, you know, this committee is unlike others. You've got 9 members and 4 advisors, so it's quite a team that we put together to try to get to this point, and to get to the final product, probably in November. It'll be quite a celebration.

742

01:41:13.480 --> 01:41:15.760

Foster: Okay. Thanks, sir. Good report. Nice working on, too. Commissioner DeFrancisco.

745

01:41:24.740 --> 01:41:26.729

Tom: I have nothing more to add, Mr. Mayor.

746

01:41:26.730 --> 01:41:32.060

Foster: All right, appreciate your efforts. Doug, Vice Mayor Colonell.

747

01:41:32.360 --> 01:41:49.509

Doug Colonell: Okay, my turn. Number one, I would like to acknowledge and thank Tom Harding, who has spent a lot of extra hours on this sewer plant, and I think he's been instrumental, from what I've watched, in helping shape good decisions with the utility board. And I'm very happy and excited that we are making some really good, improvements to that sewer plant. So, I wanted to make sure that, Tom, you knew that, you know, it doesn't go unnoticed.

The, and then the other. I'd like to acknowledge the mayor here. I think Freddie has done a fabulous job on, his leadership with these grants. And that he's been able to, secure these grants. He was savvy enough to not grab the first offer on some of these things, and, I think he's represented the city very well. And, he's growing our city through grants, which is really the only way we can do this, and maintaining our city through grants. So I I wanted a shout out to you two guys for some tremendous work, and I know it's been a lot of work.

And then, I guess I I guess I owe an apology. I do owe an apology to the Recreation Committee, because I probably led them astray and distracted them from really what I felt was a core issue on the basketball court. That the pond is constructed not like the old pond. The pond is 8 feet deep in the middle. It appears to be very shallow. And it I just woke up in the middle of the night one night thinking, I got grandchildren that are 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 years old that would be playing on a court like that. And they'd go in that pond in a heartbeat to get their basketball, or their volleyball, or their pickleball, or whatever it was. And so that's that's why my reasoning for revisiting it, and I think maybe conditions change, because you know, there was a 4-foot high picket fence to be constructed around the pond, and that was eliminated. I understand, and I and I and I get it. I just also, when the city commission approved the location of the basketball court, they approved it, predicated on the that the basketball surface would be painted green, which would fade into the landscape, and that there would be no fence. So I just wanted to make sure that we pinch ourselves and we realize that whether we do it with trees, and I think Dave Evangelista was instrumental in bringing this up to the committee. So, whether we do it with landscaping or vegetation or whatever, That's that's in the immortal words of Tom, Forrest Gump, that's all I got to say about that.

Moving on to the, to the City Hall progress and update for everybody. We've roughed in a lot of the plumbing. Electrical is a little bit slower because we don't have a watertight condition. Everybody realizes that the roof trusses have become an issue. They were supposed to be on site a month ago, or even sooner. And, I think the contractors had a very difficult time. But I've been keeping close tabs with him, and, you know, I expect those trusses in the next few days, and hope and pray. So they are holding up the watertight condition, which would allow other construction to go forward. So I just want everybody to understand that.

We've completed all the structural tie beams, and a lot of the concrete work on the project is pretty much completed. We've gotten a lot of the housekeeping pads in, the mechanical pads are in, the generator pad was poured yesterday, so we've pretty much exhausted a lot of the concrete work. The, the windows are in on the second floor, including the glass. Stucco is underway. They've, started the exterior stucco. The elevator is, sort of on hold until we get roof trusses and we get a weather-tight condition, I believe, and we get permanent power. So there's a real critical pause here that trusses are causing. The water service is completed to the inside of the building, we've gotten that done. We've done a lot of electrical work inside Marble Hall, where we've eliminated fire hazards from old, abandoned wiring, and we've cleaned up a lot of the spaghetti in there, and we've run new power feeds for our new air handling units. And, so we've gotten all that done. I'm told that, interior framing will begin in the administrative area, beginning on Monday. They're moving gonna try to get some of that done, so we're moving some work in and out of sequence to try to keep progressing.

So, the project as of today, is day 254 of 322. Now he we just approved a couple of change orders today that would extend the schedule by, I think, another 19 days? So the contractor has somewhere around 80 days left.

There is one pending change order that's been going back and forth, and back and forth, and back and forth. It's called Revision 5, it's PCO I forget, I don't have it listed here. But it's some plan revisions, and it involves the raised sidewalk at the electrical service, and planters that were eliminated, and railings that were are to be installed, so it's been going through a lot of scrutiny between myself and the architect, and we're working on that change order. So, that's kind of where we are with the with the building construction. If anybody has any questions, I'd be happy to take your $2 and answer it. I got one request for you. I've just talked to Rick and Dana Lieder. I've had a couple conversations with them recently, and they had requested that we could have two dedicated 20-amp receptacles at the vanstand, i.e, where the platform is. They think that would be very appre Very, very, well received by them.

782

01:47:45.900 --> 01:47:48.790

Doug Colonell: I'll follow up on that. That's a good idea. I'll follow up on that. I made a note. I'll run that by those guys and check that. We also are installing a quad receptacle out on the patio. Sylvia wanted to be able to do her hair out there, so we have so she can plug in her hair dryer, and their computer at the same time, so we we're doing that. And then, of course, the wiring for the pergola. The pergola will have LED lighting under it, so but we already have electric to that patio already on the drawings, thank God, so that's not any extra work. But, it's work that we're trying to get accomplished. So

I can also give you an update on the sailfish, if anybody's interested.

789

01:48:31.120 --> 01:48:33.279

Foster: Man, I was just looking at it, yesterday.

790

01:48:33.280 --> 01:48:51.869

Doug Colonell: Yeah, it's coming along good. Mike's contact for building the diamond is a pretty good guy. I've been working with him quite a bit, and going back and forth with him, and we've got a pretty good design, and he came up with a design that I've passed to Kyle Bechtenheimer at CPH, where they've agreed to do our structural engineering for, the foundation of this thing. Don't want it falling over on anybody. So, that's moving along pretty good, and the diamond's in fabrication. You know, I, Sandy Bachman had brought it up under her commission, or her committee, and, she has proposed, or kind of liked the idea of a fountain, which was not on was not part of the plan in the beginning, but maybe should be up for consideration. So I'll leave that to Sandy to lead the way on that. But we're getting some donations. We got a couple of nice donations, especially one from Sandy's, group. They they donated a lot of money to it, so, you know, I appreciate that, and we're we're gaining on it, so it's get we're getting there. So, you better hurry up and make your donations, fellas, because, you know, it's a limited supply. So, don't want you guys to be left out in the cold and not get your chance to donate. Any questions?

Cheese.

798

01:49:53.670 --> 01:49:58.540

Diehl: Yeah, I have a question. As we're preparing for the location for this, we are going to make sure we're putting in water and electric for whatever we end up doing, right?

801

01:50:04.700 --> 01:50:19.459

Doug Colonell: Well, you know, Kirk, this thing kind of has, grown its own legs here. We didn't originally, we just started with a simple diamond, a simple fish, and it kind of got a little bit more. We had originally planned just getting a sophisticated solar lighting, to go on in the you know, in the dark, and then, we didn't have water at the time, because we weren't planning on a fountain, but possibly a fountain is a good idea. So the, you know, when the idea grows, so does the expenses, so this, this project's, you know, taking on legs with that. So, I think that's still evolving, Kirk. We can always run a little water line. We can always run an electric line. Neither one of those are too difficult to do, so and I think we would use RO water anyway, and it's kind of right there, so I think we'd be okay.

805

01:50:54.670 --> 01:50:57.899

Kirk: Just to share, just to share your presentation to, I believe it was the Recreation Committee last week, the pictures from the Ocean City Fountain, when you enter the town there. That was a big hit with everybody once they saw it. They weren't they weren't all in for the sailfish, but when they saw how Ocean City presents their white marlin with a fountain. I think they were all in after they saw the picture, so

809

01:51:20.550 --> 01:51:30.260

Doug Colonell: Yeah, I apologize. That was that was my instigation. I instigated that. I took the pictures myself and sent them in. I I you know, so I apologize on that one for creating creating, more work. I know there was talk about possibly putting a mermaid up, but I think the city, the city is, you know, built around sailfishing, so, sailfishing, you know, we already have the sailfish you know, it's in our possession, and the diamond is is under construction right now. It's being fabricated. So this is, going down the road. So to speak.

813

01:51:57.810 --> 01:51:59.020

Diehl: Good, thank you.

814

01:51:59.020 --> 01:51:59.640

Doug Colonell: Right.

815

01:51:59.640 --> 01:52:01.300

Foster: Alright, thank you, Doug. Alright, so, grant update, I believe, most people have seen the letter we sent out, and it's a grant update, it's not a project update, so it does show what grants we've got and what the matches were that went with it. Proud to say that this commission has, it's been very successful, and it's a lot of work for a lot of people, including the staff. And we ended up getting a little bit over $16 million, and while we've been, busy here. So, it's, it's, it's probably, probably not too bad. I'd say we, we've earned our keep. The, we also have, several million dollars out there for additional grants we're looking for, and if, our track record is anything, I think we should be fairly successful in, quite a few of those, with more to come. Always looking for, especially if it's, no-match grants, they're the best kind. So, we're, trying to do the beautification of the city and protect the city with the, especially, I think, I think Doug, or I think Doug might have said it, that the sleeping giant, the sewer plant out there, that's, people don't see that because it's behind the bushes, let me tell you. We need to put some, we need to put some time and money in that place, so we're we got, we got some work to do on that. So that's, and if anybody wants any information on grants, my number's posted, feel free to call.

The last thing is your mayor has been elected to the Florida League of Mayors, I believe that there may be a bulletin blast out there, but it's, kind of an exclusive club, so, I was, the mayor of Islamorada was there when that when the voting took place, and I was inducted in it, so more to come on that. I hope to get some more information from the, other mayors, and also we would we steer some of the, the items that are before the the city, or the state as a whole, and, more to come from that. So, been we've been busy.

Again, I'd like to thank everyone, all the commissioners. We all have been busy, it's no one, nobody, one person can handle this. It's a lot of work, and the staff has been, phenomenal, so more work to come.

831

01:54:32.890 --> 01:54:34.799

Diehl: Good. I'm sorry. Sorry, I need to make a correction. I said Recreation Committee. It was the Beauification Committee, and they were so gracious to donate $5,000 to the sailfish, so I apologize for the error. It's $5,000 with payments.

833

01:54:49.750 --> 01:55:02.090

Doug Colonell: Hey, did I remind everybody that the time is running out for the donations, and I don't want you guys to I don't want you guys to miss the opportunity, so, you know, make sure that

834

01:55:02.090 --> 01:55:02.630

City of Key Colony Beach: Hang on.

835

01:55:02.630 --> 01:55:04.140

Doug Colonell: You check your calendars.

836

01:55:04.610 --> 01:55:15.509

Foster: Got it. All right, so anything, nothing further? Citizens' comments, if, anybody here has anything. If not, if you're online, feel free to raise your hand.

837

01:55:18.750 --> 01:55:19.650

Tom: And research.

838

01:55:20.130 --> 01:55:21.240

City of Key Colony Beach: Okay.

839

01:55:22.180 --> 01:55:23.470

City of Key Colony Beach: You're up.

840

01:55:23.960 --> 01:55:25.410

City of Key Colony Beach: Mr. Sanchez?

Orestes Oreo Sanchez: Yup, Alright, Mr. Mayor, sorry I did not know the rules exactly of, when to speak. Probably apologize for interrupting your meeting. I'm Oreste Sanchez, 880 Shelter Bay. As far as that extension, for that permit. Originally we were told by Tony that we didn't qualify for any tolling. Upon further research, we believe we do qualify For multiple tolling, of that permit. I don't know if you guys we're given Our emails back and forth. There are certain, executive orders that were issued by Ron DeSantis. Over the last couple of years, 26-144, 25-215, 25-214. I added some of those to the emails. So I wanted to put that on record. Also, we had an issue with the city about this outflow pipe that runs through our property. From the overflow lot, That we were never aware of. It's not on our title, it's not on our surveys, it's on nothing even the even the electric company in the Keys, in Key Colony, does not have any idea of that outflow pipe ever being there, and their pole is right next to your we thought he'd do it outflow pipe.

So back in last year, November, I asked. And I sent Silvia an email for a public record request regarding information on this outflow pipe. To this day, the only information I have is Tony couldn't find anything, on it. Because I asked for records requests, I asked for records on this pipe, the maintenance of this pipe. When was this pipe discovered? So on and so forth. We never received anything. So, this is an expensive project, on this property. And now we find out we have a pipe that runs on our property which changes things. By never receiving any information from the city our project was on hold for quite a while. So please take that into consideration as well. When you're when you're moving forward with these projects, and you come across these things. Now, I've had conversations with With some people in the city, about it. But again, there we believe we're entitled to tolling from when our permit was originally issued, till now.

A little further back, in 24, we filed a set of plans, and approved the set of plans. And then to come to find out that the city had changed the ordinance, the 2-foot ordinance on flood, so we had to go back to the drawing board as well on that and redo another set of plans, which now I find out that the two-foot ordinance the two-foot ordinance is going away as well. So that was another waste of money on this project. So please keep that in mind.

I'd like to put it on the record that we are entitled to tolling on this permit. I've been told this by multiple legal people, I've been told this Oh by different people. Please look into it before we make a final decision on charging me for a permit extension.
