City of Mexico Beach  Budget Workshop #2 Meeting Minutes  TUESDAYJULY: 30, 2024-6:00PM  The City of Mexico Beach City Council held al budget workshop on Tuesday. July 30, 2024, at 6:00 pm at the Public Works Building in Mexico Beach. Mayor Wolff and thet following Councilmembers were present: Linda Hamilton, Jerry Smith, Jason Adams and Tim Linderman. Also present were Interim City Administrator, Mell Smigielski and City Clerk, Tammy Brunson.  Call to order: Mayor Wolff called the meeting to order at 6:00 pm.  Il.  Regular Agenda: Mayor Wolff started off the meeting by stating the city is in a good place financially and continues to put money in reserves. He also explained these meetings are consensus meetings, there will be no voting. Mayor Wolff passed out al list of potential areas that by reducing the amounts going into reserves would lower the millage rate. Mr. Adams asked about the amount being budgeted for Legal fees. The Comprehensive Plan update was slated for an outside source to complete. Lisa Logan commented that the Planning and Zoning Board and the citizens could do most of the work. A reduction to fifty thousand dollars with inhouse help seems achievable. Mr. Adams also asked about the differences in revenues from current year to FY25 budget amounts. No building on 37th Street and no change on the CD's which are doing very well fort the city. Mrs. Hamilton said the 14th Street lot for a parking garage would be a no go and selling the beach side lot that the city owns could generate additional income. Mr. Linderman recommended alleviating the Development Services Director position. Other suggestions were to start a reserve fund for stormwater repairs, al Master Plan, additional capacity or ai treatment plant and start a 5-year Capital Improvement Plan. Possible future project funding included a pier extension, a lean to at the boat ramp, and ai floating boat dock for the Sheriffs Department rescue boat. Items to be clarified at the next meeting were al break down of salaries fore each department, what encompasses other current charges and operating supplies, and how much does Parks & Recreation take ine each year. There was also a request to possibly lower water and sewer fees. Open public comment 7:18pm - John Harrell asked what impact fees can be used for and why do we have an abundance in the account? Why can't they be used in areas needed? Lisa Logan commented on taking on large tasks and commended Council on asking questions that have never been asked before. Closed  public comment 7:21pm.  IX. Adjournment: Mrs. Hamilton and Mr. Linderman motioned to adjourn the meeting at 7:22 pm.  By:  Attest:  Mayor, Richard Wolff  City Clerk, Tammy Brunson    VGINOTH AINNODAVE NOISNVdX3 dWVI.

Av variance is authorized to be issued for the construction or substantial improvement necessary fortheconductofal functionally dependent use,as defined in this section,provided the variance meets the requirements of paragraph D. of this section is the minimum  18    necessary considering the flood hazard, and all due consideration has been given to use of methods and materials that minimize flood damage during occurrence oft the base flood.  G. CONSIDERATIONS FOR SSUANCE OF VARIANCES.  In reviewing requests for variances, the City Council shall consider all technical evaluations, all relevant factors, all otherapplicable provisions of the Florida Building Code, 1. The danger that materials and debris may be swept onto other lands resulting in 3. The susceptibility of the proposed development, including contents, to flood damage 4.
