 CEDAR KEY CITY COMMISSION MET
16 APRIL 2024
16 APRIL 2024
 
The Cedar Key City Commission met Thursday evening, April 16, 2024, at 5 pm at the new City Hall, located at 609 Sixth Street. In attendance were current Mayor Sue Colson, Vice-Mayor Nancy Sera, and Commissioner Jim Wortham.

This meeting was attended by some fifty audience members.  Among them were:  Doug Lindhout, Clay and Jan Childers, Buddy Scruggs, Jennifer Webb, Susan Rosenthal, Eileen Senecal, Kathy Salkaln,  Claudette Nelson, Janice Fugate, Marc Hensel, Savanna Barry, Vanessa Edmonds, Ben Iverson, Paty Jett, Mike Borelli, Esta Johnston, Sandy Witcher, John Rittenhouse, Mike Allen, Mendy Allen, Jeri Treat, Denise Ferris, Mike Hostetler, Johnny Hiers, and Mandy and Frank Offerle.

COMMISSIONERS SWORN IN
Recently re-seated Nancy Sera and newly seated Jolie Davis and Jeff Webb were sworn in; the Oath of Office was administered by Levy Judge Luis Bustamante.

REORGANIZATION

Annually, after elections, reorganization occurs.   Reorganization includes the seating of new members, election of a mayor and vice-mayor, and the rehiring of department heads.

The initial agenda published by city staff did not include reorganization.  A second agenda, published on April 16, did include reorganization.

Newly seated commissioner Jolie Davis stated her discomfort in voting for department heads when she had not spoken/interviewed them all as yet and was surprised that reorganization would occur this evening.  Discussion was furthered with questions and concerns:

  • Should commissioners vote for department heads this evening?
  • Should commissioners vote for mayor and vice-mayor this evening?
  • Should they vote for either of the above?
  • Should they vote for none of the above this evening and vote instead at the May meeting?
  • Commissioner Wortham clearly stated twice he would prefer to vote for the mayor and vice mayor this evening, as he would be out of town at the Maay meeting.

After some discussion, Attorney Fugate interrupted the discussion and asked Davis if he heard a motion from her to delay full reorganization until May, a motion that she had not made.  Instead, her concern, she stated, was voting for department heads this evening.    Nonetheless, Davis responded “yes.”

Commissioners voted three to two to delay the entire action until the May Meeting.  Sera, Davis, and Webb voted yes; Wortham and Colson voted “no.”

Staff in attendance included: City of Cedar Key Attorney Norm Fugate, Police Department Chief Edwin Jenkins, Fire Chief / Emergency Operations Director Robert Robinson, Public Works Supervisor Jamie McCain, City Clerk / Building Clerk Jennifer Sylvester, Deputy City Clerk Telicia Winfield, Clerk Heather Lang, and Legal Assistant to Norm Fugate Lee LeeAnne E. Rohrer.

VACATION RENTALS / TRANSIENT RENTALS WORKSHOP
 
SENATE BILL 280
Commissioner Jim Wortham introduced the workshop subject with the definition of vacation rentals / transient rentals, according to the Florida Legislature’s Senate Bill 280, which follows:
 
“…any unit, group of units, dwelling, building, or group of buildings, within a single set of buildings which is rented to guests for more than three times within one calendar year for periods of less than 30 days, or one calendar month, whichever is less, for which is advertised or held out to the public as a place regularly rented to guests.”
 
The bill addresses: registration and fees, annual renewal, property inspections, maximum occupancy, responsible person information details, fines and suspensions, and web-based platforms.
 
Senate Bill 280 passed its way through the legislative process in Tallahassee and is now, as of April 2, on the governor’s desk.
 
WORKSHOP GOAL
Wortham explained that, as his evening’s gathering was a “workshop,” and not a “meeting,” thus, no decisions could be legally made tonight. The workshop’s purpose is twofold: to provide information to the commissioners and the community, and to have the
commissioners decide if they wished to pursue the matter now, later, or not at all.
 
No one had an accurate number of vacation rentals in Cedar Key. The number of units has been estimated to be between 200 to 400.
 
Excessive noise and rampant parking being the biggest problems.
Pros and cons were briefly presented. Pros included: increased tourism and business patronage. Cons included: parking difficulties and pressure, increased noise and light problems, and increased workload on Public Safety, Fire Department and city staff.
When asked how many complaints come to City Hall, Jennifer Sylvester said she could not respond, and Chief Jenkins said four to five a month. Commissioners advised that they keep a tally on complaints henceforth.

CEDAR KEY PLANTING DAY
2024 March 29
 
Today the Senior Class of Cedar Key School has made its mark to help beautify the community with a planting project around the island.
 
The seed for this project was picked from the island’s cedar trees in the fall of 2022, then sown in seed beds at Tropic Traditions Nursery by senior class member Lucas Zeigler in the spring of 2023. At the beginning of the school year, in the fall of 2023, the baby seedlings were then brought to Cedar Key School where senior class members prepared an area for them and then planted them in one-gallon containers.
 
Now it is spring of 2024 and over 150 of these 10 to 12-inch tall baby saplings have been dispersed and planted around the community by these seniors. This project is a gift to the community by this senior class that will leave a lasting legacy for them and their community.

We were honored and blessed to be involved with these students for their noble project.
 
Sincerely

CEDAR KEY’S ARBOR DAY
100 Trees to Be Planted;
200 More Coming!
2024 March 2


In downtown’s City Park, the line was forming at 9 am, even though the weatherman predicted rain. Residents arrived to select a magnolia, a redbud, or a crepe myrtle tree to take home and plant on their properties, as part of the island’s celebration of Arbor Day.
 
20240302 100544So skillfully organized was the event, residents not only received a tree in a three-gallon bucket, but also the soil, the water-holding agent, and fertilizer with which to plant the new arrival. Easy-to-read directions came with each tree. Making everything simpler and more pleasant, Cedar Key School student Fisher Collins graciously toted all these trees and ingredients to residents’ cars or golf carts.
 
Upon arrival, residents registered with Tree City Coordinator Mary Prescott. Plotting each new tree’s placement on the individual properties on a Cedar Key map, Mary created a record which indicates areas housing new trees and areas still in need.
