D ra ft f� i MINUTES Workshop Meeting Village of Tequesta, FL Mayor Molly Young Vice-Mayor Rick Sartory Council Member Laurie Brandon Council Member Patrick Painter Council Member Jayson E. French March 2, 2026 6:00 PM Council Chambers 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. ADJOURNMENT Page 70*efZ603 Agenda Item #5.
