CALL TO ORDER AND ROLL CALL
The meeting was called to order by Mayor Molly Young at 6:00 p.m. A roll call was taken by
Deputy Clerk Mary Ann Grieser.
Present were:
Mayor Molly Young, Council Member Patrick Painter, and Council Member Jayson E. French.
Council Member Brandon arrived at 6:03 PM.
Absent were:
Vice-Mayor Rick Sartory.
AGENDA ITEMS
1. Discussion on Code Updates
Mr. Jay Hubsch, Director of Community Development addressed Council and presented
a powerpoint on recent proposed updates to the Village Code. Some of the revisions
included: green building incentives, certified recovery residences, construction and public
notice code clarifications, accessory structures and zoning clarifications, development
and planning processes, community meetings, review criteria for quasi-judicial
proceedings, special exception and variance process reviews, artificial
turf/environmental and invasive species updates.
Council discussion included adding "nuisance language" and clarification of review
criteria for certified recovery residences. They also agreed to have special exception
uses reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Board before moving onto Council (except for
expedited commercial overlay tenant changes). Council preferred to have complex
projects scheduled as regular Workshop Meetings, rather than separate Special
Meetings. Council agreed that synthetic turf regulations would be aligned with state rules
to stay consistent with environmental protections and neighborhood aesthetics.
Additionally, the Village would defer to the Florida Invasive Species List and maintain
Page 2U6gef11603
Agenda Item #5. r'D ra ft
alignment with state standards for vegetation.
Mrs. Pat Watkins of 167 River Drive commented on Workshop and Special Meetings and
suggested placing a qualifier in the agenda that would give Council the ability to take a
topic to a Workshop Meeting, should it become excessively long.
Mrs. Marcia Nielson of Beechwood Trail commented that she agreed with Mrs. Watkins
and felt residents would attend a meeting if it was a project they were interested in
hearing about.
2. Review and Discuss 2026 Community-Wide Survey Results
Village Manager Jeremy Allen provided Council with a breakdown of the results from the
recent community survey. The survey showed continued high satisfaction in public safety
and parks, but highlighted water quality as an area in need of improvement and ongoing
investment. Communication effectiveness remained high at 90%, with increased social
media engagement aiding outreach The 2026 survey had 41% fewer responses than the
2024 survey, increasing the margin of error to 6-7%.
Council placed high value on resident comments and encouraged staff to address issues
such as potholes or sightline obstructions promptly. Ideas to increase future survey
participation included raffles, event based outreach and enhanced messaging on the
importance of survey feedback.
Mrs. Pat Watkins of 167 River Drive commented on the survey and believed residents
might be dissatisfied with the construction from utility projects and not the water quality,
as the survey did not distinguish between the two. Additionally, she felt residents did not
respond when they were satisfied as compared to when they were unhappy about
something.
3. Staff Update on 2025-2026 Strategic Plan Initiatives
Village Manager Jeremy Allen introduced updates for the 2025-2026 Strategic Plan
Initiatives. He believed the Village was making steady progress on its plan initiatives,
emphasizing fiscal responsibility, community identity, infrastructure, and operational
excellence while facing challenges in stormwater fund rebuilding. His update revealed
that out of 68 action items, 18% were complete, 38% were on track and 20% faced
delays or disruptions. A future Strategic Planning Workshop was scheduled for April 13,
2026, with plans to incorporate insights from the 2026 Village Survey.
Council expressed support for continued focus on stormwater and infrastructure while
recognizing legislative and funding challenges. Suggestions included simplifying tree
rebate programs and connecting local parks via trails. Council felt that recent survey
feedback aligned well with current strategic priorities.
Mrs. Marcia Nielson of Beechwood Trail commented about stormwater on Riverside
Drive being an issue, although she believed it was a county problem.

COMMUNICATIONS FROM CITIZENS
Christian Carter a local resident, addressed Council and asked them not to close the skate park
at Constitution Park. He had heard the Village was planning to fence off and close the skate
park at 7 PM each evening due to an injury which supposedly occurred after the 80s Skate
Party. He added that skaters had to use headlamps because of a lack of lighting and that the
ramps were not stable or safe. He also believed the concrete was too abrasive and was
causing injuries. Mr. Carter mentioned a petition being circulated pertaining to upgrades desired
at the skate park. The petition was not provided to the Village Clerk.
Austin Ezekiel, an area resident addressed Council and stressed the skate park's role in
building resilience, discipline, and social bonds among youth. He felt that advocating for
improvements would enhance safety and inclusiveness. Mr. Ezekiel believed maintenance
issues such as uneven ramps caused equipment damage and injury risks, and he asked for
concrete surface improvements to reduce abrasiveness.
Brian Wood, an area mental health counselor, stressed the skate park's role in creating a safe
space for young people. He reminded Council that there had been several skate parks in the
area that had closed down. He asked that Council consider improvements to the park so that it
could offer a safe, reliable outlet for kids to exercise in safety.
