Except for item 1C, tonight's format will be as follows.

I will introduce each item on the agenda, after which the city representative will present information about it.

All those in favor signify by saying aye.

Aye.

Thank you very much.

This is public input on this.

Yes, sir.

Any time you vote on an item.

Oh okay.

Is there any public input about our minutes?

It doesn't sound like there are any.

So we're closing public input.

That's new, isn't it?

No.

I don't remember doing that before.

All right.

Ordinance 25-07.

Amendments to the city's floodplain management regulations.

Well, good uh good evening, Joseph DePasqua on behalf of uh community development.

And so what I have for you tonight is just a brief overview of our ordinance, so 2507.

This is amendments to our floodplain management uh regulations.

Um essentially, you may or may not know, but in July, a new law was enacted, and um Chapter 25-190 Laws of Florida that became effective July 1st, and what essentially it does is it requires by state law that the cities, any city or county um municipality can no longer have a cumulative substantial uh damage or improvement rule on the book.

So in the city of Dunedin, we've had for about 10 years now a five-year cumulative.

And so that has to base essentially by law now that has to go away.

So the the primary function of the ordinance you're considering here this evening is to just simply remove that.

And in doing so, there's a couple other housekeeping items that I'd like to point out that we're going to be doing.

So again, we're gonna delete the language.

Um that has to do with the uh conflict with the new the new state law.

We are also deleting uh language in 1052.2, and that's because these these are requirements that are now in the Florida Building Code.

And what I mean by that is when we adopted them uh and I provided the the previous ordinance 15-40, when we adopted those, we were a little ahead of the game.

At the time, there was not a requirement for a one-foot free board uh in Florida.

There is now, and there has been for some time.

So we're going to go ahead and just remove that as a local technical amendment.

The law uh Florida Building Code requires that.

And then the last items you'll see are just the number of reference changes from the previous version.

Uh when this was originally adopted in 2015, uh the reference to definitions is was in a different section of the Florida building code.

So we've just simply made that modification so we're referencing the correct section of the Florida Building Code.

And so what I provided you is a copy, of course, the ordinance, the laws of Florida that were adopted and went into effect on July 1st, the previous ordinance you can kind of see by comparison, and then of course the other backup to support that.

And so with that, I'll you know, that's really this and somewhat of a housekeeping item, but I'll be glad to answer any questions you may have.

So we're essentially wanting to conform with the state law, is that correct?
