FCT PROPERTIES: There have been some questions on social media regarding signage at several City-owned properties that were purchased through Florida Communities Trust. WhileI I was at the sprayfields late last year I noticed that the sign was faded and was unreadable. Ithen went to all of the FCT properties and noticed that two signs were unreadable (sprayfield and Holy Family), and that two properties (Bay Avenue Park and Bay Front Park) had no signage anymore. Ireached out the staff at FCTa and was provided with the sign requirements and ordered new signs for each of those properties. However, because of some projects at multiple City facilities and then my accident, the signs were erected later than anticipated. 2. Business License Update: As required by State Statute, Business Licenses for municipalities must be available for purchase beginning July Istofe each year. This statute goes into effect July 1, 2024. Renewals for Business Licenses (including, sidewalk permits and short- term rentals) have been mailed out. There are two things that should be noted about the process for Business Licenses this year: 1)The City is now in compliance with Florida State Statute 205 tp/www.egstatelutatutmdexcfmindexefm/APp mode-Display Statute&URL- 0200.029902050205Cemtemsindeshtmi; which means that business owners may need to supply additional information to renew their licenses.

And, 2) the funds from any 2024-2025 business license collected in this fiscal year will be held in deferred revenue until October 1, 3. Short-term & Monthly Rentals: The State designates that any residence rented out by the day, week, month, or any other time duration fora a term of six months orl less in a calendar year is considered a short-term rental.
