3 Mr. McHale advised the organization is involved with the Celtic Music & Craft Beer Festival in the fall and the Dunedin Highland Games Festival in the spring. The Celtic Festival last year in November had their biggest audience with musical acts from Ireland, Canada and other parts of the United States with an audience of around 4,000 and managed to run out of beer just after 8:00 p.m. which the Sheriff thought was a fantastic plan being worried about the amount of beer consumed that day. It was very successful and they were blessed with some really good weather. In the spring of this year the Highland Games Festival, even though they cut back on the number of activities this year, was a success. On Friday night was the parade and in the afternoon one of the best pipers in the world gave a demonstration and recital and he taught the students in the morning with a great kick-off event. Then they had the Pipe Band Parade the biggest so far for Dunedin with about ten Pipe Bands on parade and the streets were full. That was followed by a concert in Pioneer Park and not another person could have been squeezed in the park that night. The following day again, with good weather, they had 7,000 people through the gate, the biggest audience ever and there was over 1,000 competitors with music, piping, drumming and dancing. For about a week they filled all the hotels, pubs and restaurants, a really good thing for the city. He thanked city staff for their assistance and cooperation that week and for the Celtic Festival; without their help they could not have managed. This year the organization has a new executive board going forward. Last year the executive board worked exceptionally hard to produce the event and together with 220 volunteers plus their planning committee they were really grateful for their help. This week Dunedin's great two City Bands are heading off to Scotland and in sixteen days and will be competing for the World Championships. Tonight is their last practice as a complete band and they begin traveling. They will be meeting with the City Commission at Stirling when they get there and they will be having their last public practice this Saturday at Weaver Park and following with a reception lunch by the Foundation at the Hall and everyone was welcome to the park or the hall to wish them luck and well on the way. They are leaving Dunedin to represent the City as the North American Champions and American Champions; it will be a tough competition with over 200 bands competing in Scotland. Tonight he wished to thank the staff, recognize their Committee and members. He introduced the Isle of Skye Highland Dancers and Dr. Pat Snair. Mr. McHale presented the representatives of the Scottish organizations and bands, on behalf of the Executive Board and the volunteers of the Dunedin Scottish Arts Foundation, with a check in the amount of $95,000. Vice-Mayor Kynes recognized Commissioner Gracy, liaison to the Dunedin Scottish Arts Foundation, and thanked her for her work with them. 3. Purple Heart Recognition Day Proclamation- August 7, 2017 Commissioner Tornga read a proclamation declaring Monday, August 7, 2017 as Purple Heart Recognition Day in Dunedin, and asked that we pause to remember those extraordinary men and women, and their families, who made the ultimate sacrifice to preserve our freedom, and to those who were willing to make that ultimate sacrifice and to pray for the safety of all those defending our nation today

4 Commander Mal Clingan thanked the City of Dunedin for their continued support of this event since the official opening of the Park in He also thanked the Disabled American Veterans (DAV), the American Legion, the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), NJROTC from Dunedin High School, Pinellas and Pasco County Sheriff's Office Honor Guards and the Parks & Recreation Department. He especially thanked Parks & Recreation Director Vince Gizzi, Community Center Program Coordinator Jorie Peterson, Parks & Recreation Superintendent Terry Trudell and Senior Administrative Assistant Carol Karpp for coordinating this event each year. There were many individuals involved in the program who take time out of their busy schedule to be part of this special event and it is greatly appreciated. There can be no higher sacrifice than a soldier who gives their life; he wears the Purple Heart to honor his fallen brothers and sisters and not for himself. He is personally grateful and thankful to all armed services and especially those who have given their lives for this country. Perhaps like him at some point in your life have wondered whether or not you would have had the courage to face battle and possibly sacrifice your own life fighting for your country. It takes a special person with deep conviction and purpose to fight today's battles as it did in Vietnam and every war. Personally he thinks our soldiers deserve every American's support regardless of personal beliefs or feelings. To those who think sacrifice and service to our great country has been forgotten he asks them to look around this room and the Council members. 4. Taoist Tai Chi Awareness Day Proclamation- August 3, 2017 Commissioner Freaney read a proclamation declaring August 3, 2017 as Taoist Tai Chi Awareness Day 2017 in Dunedin and urged our citizens to discover a genuine path for health and tranquility derived from Tai Chi.

March 2018 is the target date for the opening of the Fenway Hotel.

For the time being they will be at 1370 Main Street and will be busy teaching Tai Chi. On behalf of the Taoist Tai Chi Society USA he thanked the City very much.

9 Motion carried with Commissioners Tornga, Freaney, Gracy and Vice 5. Public Hearing: Resolution 17-20, Establish a Maximum Millage Rate for FY 2018 of City Attorney Trask read Resolution by title only. MOTION: Motion was made by Commissioner Gracy and seconded by Commissioner Tornga to adopt Resolution to Establish a Maximum Millage Rate for FY 2018 of Interim City Manager Hutchens advised there are two supplements to this item one of which was to identify a minor typographical error in Resolution and a second providing the additional information the Commission requested at the work session on Tuesday. Budget Manager Allison Broihier advised: Staff is recommending the commission approve the maximum rate of mills at this time. The City is required by State Truth in Millage Laws to provide a maximum millage rate and the date, time and place of the first public hearing on the millage rate within 35 days of the Certification of Municipal Values which was July 1, putting the City at a deadline of August 4, A millage rate of is 9.90% over the "rollback rate" which is the tax rate that would generate the same dollar amount of ad valorem tax revenue for the City as the prior year. Because there has been property growth increase, the tax rate would actually go down in order to generate that same amount of money. Approval of this maximum millage rate of mills, while not binding, does establish a rate cap. Approval of this rate preserves the Commission's ability to adopt any rate below this rate without additional cost. A tax rate of mills would allow for the funding of three new positions listed below while maintaining a reserve level for the six-year planning period FY2018 through FY2023, at or above the 15% target identified by the City's reserve policy. Planner II- $83,500 Public Information Coordinator- $57,700 Firefighter/Paramedic- $80,700 These positions and whether or not they will be funded will be discussed at the Budget Workshop on August 8, The recommendation of an increased maximum millage rate is to give the city commission flexibility at the discussion on August 8 on if and how any unfunded positions could be funded. Without this maximum millage rate increase if the commission would like to fund any positions without impacting the Fund Balance the only options would be either not to hit the Reserve levels in the policy or to cut expenses. Commission Questions Commissioner Freaney referenced the supplement provided with the projections out to 2023, indicating actually all the new positions could be included and still be at 18.5% above the target and would not go below the target until

10 Ms. Broihier responded explaining the 18.5% is the estimated ending balance for FY2017 and it is just the three noted positions indicated with the "x" on the document. This revised projection shows the inclusion of those three positions leaving the millage rate flat and what it would look like on the Unassigned Fund Balance in the planning period. Commissioner Gracy for the benefit of the public noted this action sets a ceiling for what could be, it is not a binding number and Ms. Broihier responded absolutely and explained the supplement included an example of a TRIM notice and the language in that is 'your tax bill will not exceed'; this in no way will set or is setting the millage rate for FY2018, but is simply entertaining an ability for discussions on August 8 at which point the Commission would give staff direction and then on September 7, 2017 come back with an actual proposed millage rate. Commission Comments Commissioner Gracy reiterated the August 8, 2017 final Budget Workshop and the flexibility offered in order to do more research on the three positions proposed which will probably be the top of the conversation. Commissioner Tornga commented acknowledging a great presentation of the budget and well thought out. He noted this gives the commission the flexibility to discuss the three proposed new positions. Commissioner Freaney stated she felt comfortable staying at a millage rate which is the current millage rate. She expressed appreciation for the work that went into the proposal and the theory. If she did not feel in thinking the taxes would not have to go up she would not feel that way. She felt with the property tax values as they went up and felt comfortable with what the commission already looked at in the two budget workshops that the amount of maximum change we would be making, that we should be able to work within our means and have enough flexibility. Quite, frankly the City does not fall below the projections of the Fund Balance until 2021 and there will be many things the City will be facing, not the least of which is the homestead exemption increase that could force the City to elevate the tax rate. She was in favor of staying at Vice-Mayor Kynes stated she was in favor of staying at and that is how she will vote on August 8th. She believes we can get creative and if there is some Reserve level, it can be a combination of things to actually fund the requested positions which she believes all three are very important. She was aware there will be further discussions on this issue on August 8th; however, wanted to be forthcoming about her feelings on this. Motion failed with Commissioners Tornga and Gracy voting aye. Voting nay: Commissioner Freaney and Vice-Mayor Kynes. City Attorney Trask explained a resolution must be adopted tonight in order for staff to notify the County. One way or another, the resolution needs to be changed so it can pass. If the suggestion is to put it at that needs to be done with a motion to adopt the resolution amended reflecting mills and that would include a change in the title, first paragraph and Section 1; otherwise the public hearings would remain the same as set forth in Section 2. MOTION: Motion was made by Commissioner Freaney and seconded by Commissioner Gracy to adopt Resolution amended to Establish a Maximum Millage Rate for FY 2018 of
