Summary
The commission approved the consent agenda, adopted three annexation ordinances, approved a site-plan extension, awarded downtown renovation grants totaling $47,469, approved two special events for March 2026, and authorized an interlocal agreement with Pinellas County for disaster-recovery consultants.
At its Dec. 1 meeting the Safety Harbor City Commission took unanimous action on a number of routine and substantive items.
Votes at a glance • Consent agenda (minutes of Nov. 17; right-of-way dedication at Jefferson Street & Bayshore Drive; First Amendment to Pinellas County interlocal for water-quality monitoring): approved 5–0. • Site‑plan extension for 550 10th Avenue South (site-plan 2024‑20 SD): approved a one‑year extension to 12/02/2026, 5–0. • Annexations (second readings): Ordinance 2025‑o7 (655 Woodell Drive), Ordinance 2025‑o8 (215 13th Avenue South), Ordinance 2025‑11 (3584 Enterprise Road E): each adopted 5–0 following staff recommendation that there were no changes since the first readings. • Downtown Partnership interior renovation grants: Commission authorized increasing the category cap and approved four awards totaling $47,469 (Stuffed Mushroom; Bird's Nest; Seersucker Sassy Boutique; ArcForm Facial Plastic Surgery), 5–0. • Special events: Bloomin' Chalk Fest (Safety Harbor Museum & Cultural Center, March 21–22, 2026) and Kiwanis Spring Arts & Craft Show (March 22, 2026) — both approved, 5–0. • Interlocal agreement with Pinellas County: authorized staff to engage any of seven pre-selected consulting firms for disaster-recovery services (substantial-damage inspections, repair permits, flood-plain review, code enforcement) under the county’s contract terms; no fiscal impact from adopting the interlocal, approved 5–0.
Each item approved was accompanied by standard staff stipulations or administrative next steps (permit processing, required payments such as the sidewalk-fund payment tied to a sidewalk waiver, or subsequent reporting to commission committees).
What happens next: staff will process permits, collect required fees, and bring ordinance/resolution drafts and related follow-ups (particularly on marina and recreation fees) to future commission meetings.
