First Name Andy Last Name Spilos Address 140 Ocean Drive Email Address asplos@comcastnet Agenda Item Number (Ex: 1, 2, 3) general comment Public Comment / Question wish to go on record to dispute Mayor Wheeler's claim of false statements. Mayor Wheeler, In response to your latest newsletter of January 2, 2025, your statement under False Claims is categorically false! You violated the Town Charter when you directed the Town Clerk to redact the email statements of several residents, including mine at the September 25, 2024 Town Council meeting. According to the Charter you. do not have the power to direct staff period. That power rests solely with the Town Manager. In addition, during the September 27, 2024 Council meeting you interrupted me and did not permit me to finish my remarks. Clearly your actions were an attempt to silence those persons who wished to express themselves. You obviously have no grasp of the rights citizens have under the 1st Amendment. Your illegal actions are in direct violation of our 1st Amendment rights. The allegations against you are indeed true and relevant. There is no connection to your assertion that they are false and have no relevance to the safety of the community. devulge The only advice I get is from the Holy Spirit. Even if others were advising me, do you seriously expect me to divulge names and numbers? My accusations are based on facts and truth, In my possession are copies of all the redacted emails from the September 25 meeting. - also have a copy of Caitlin's emailed response stating you directed her to redact the emails. As I stated, you violated the Town Charter with your actions. I highly recommend you review the following sections of the Charter: Article III Section 3 Article IV Section 1, Section 5 [41, Section 7 [6] & b. 4 farn faron There is nothing inflammatory or defaming in my comments, just the facts! In my opinion, you are unable to distinguish between the truth and fiction, or you knowingly make false statements! In either case feel you are unfit to continue as Mayor and should resign!

At a Sept. 2024 Council Meeting, Peggy Wheeler shamefully trivialized Marianne Hosta's battery on a Juno resident calling just 'something that happened between two private citizens' instead of referring to it for what it is - a criminal act. In fact, Ms. Hosta was accused twice of battery by two separate Juno Beach residents and one of them pressed charges and Hosta was found guilty of battery by a jury - and she was put on Probation and sentenced to Community Service, Anger Management Training and she was ordered to pay fines and several thousands of dollars for emergency room bills for the victim injuries. The victim was the wife of Peggy Wheeler's then political opponent, Mayor Cooke. - find it deplorable that the Mayor censored citizens at the important September 2024 hearing on the Christmas Tree Lot and Pulte Application - and that the Police Chief threatened retribution against citizens who were critical of him or the government. Juno Beach Government under Peggy Wheeler's influence has stained the reputation of the Town. Further, Town Attorney Leonard Rubin has never asked Ms. Wheeler to recuse herself from voting on the so-called Juno beach police foundation" even though Ms. Wheeler takes credit for initiating this foundation. Peggy Wheeler has an obvious conflict of interest with the police foundation. Look at the favors she received from the police foundation to get her elected as Mayor. The police foundation president, Tom Murphy, who IS NOT a Juno Beach resident, orchestrated the ballot initiative to allow Juno citizens to vote for the Juno Mayor instead of the Mayor being appointed by Council Members as was the practice at the time. As soon as the police foundation president's hard work on the ballot initiative succeeded, the Vice President and Treasurer of the police foundation, Jack Luther, sent letters to Town residents smearing and attacking Wheeler's political opponent, the former Juno Beach Mayor. Mr. Luther was helped with this smear attack by his buddy Larry Sorsby, who is a retired Hovnanian Homes developer. Next, the town residents' mailboxes and phones were besieged with an avalanche of more smears and lies against our former mayor. Tens of thousands of dollars were spent on political PAC mailings, which Wheeler never reported as gifts. Without the political meddling of the police foundation Board Members Wheeler would never have been elected.

Honorable Members of the Juno Beach Town Council, February 26, 2025 My name is Nicole MacLean. My husband, Glenn MacLean, and I own the property located at 14661 US Highway 1, Juno Beach, FL 33408 (Parcel # 2843412-07-000390) Lot 39 I am writing to respectfully request that the Council address the following concerns régarding our property. On May 20, 2024, we received a Notice of Violation from the Town of. Juno Beach Code Enforcement. The notice. stated that no final inspection had been conducted for a shed built in 2015 and that the shed did not comply with setback requirements. In response, we renewed our Building Department permit in 2024 and relocated the shed slightly further west to address the issue, We expected Zoning to follow up with us, but we never heard back from them. Given the passage of time, we assumed the shed's placement had been grandfathered in. However, on February 7, 2025; we received a Notice of Hearing from Zoning, requiring us to appear beforé the Town Magistrate on. March 20, 2025, at 9:00 AM. Then, on February 20, 2025, Glenn received an email from Frank, which included à forwarded letter from the Town of Juno Beach dated July 2024. This letter, originally sent to the contractor who built our driveway in 2015, stated that the shed must be set back at least five feet from the property line. We were not copied on this letter and had no prior knowledge of it. If you observe the properties along the south side of Juno Condo on our street, you'll notice a consistent pattern: most have a five-foot setback to the west of the property and a driveway on the east side. Several properties also have structures, like sheds, close to the property line, which provides privacy for the owners. The exception is Lot 38, the property immediately to our east. That property has a driveway with a structure on its west side, on the property line, resulting in two driveways side by side and leaving us with no privacy. We kindly ask the Council to consider these circumstances and assist us in resolving this matter. Thank you for your time and attention. Sincerely, Nicole MacLean haa Aiee 197 2/26/25, 8:56.
