PUBLIC PARTICIPATION & DECORUM AT CITY OF LYNN HAVEN COMMISSION MEETINGS
Any person may request to address the City Commission during any regular City Commission meeting.
Resolution 2024-04-428 (full document is available online) was passed to facilitate orderly public
participation & decorum, and is briefly summarized below:
A.

Public participation at board meetings is intended to allow individual members of the public to
address the Board on issues of public concern in Lynn Haven. The Chair is responsible for
maintaining a respectful environment during public participation so that public comments can be
heard and considered by the Board. Therefore, the Board Chair may interrupt or terminate any
individual's speaking privilege if the Speaker's comments, attire, or Visual Aids constitute a personal
attack; are slanderous, defaming, disruptive, or obscene; violate any law (including but not limited
to copyright and intellectual property laws); or otherwise are in violation of this policy. The
following guidelines apply to any public comment at Board meetings:
1.

Speakers must be respectful of the Board, other members of the public, and others' opinions,
and refrain from making personal attacks;

2.

No Political Candidate Campaigning, commercial advertising, solicitation, or defamation will
be allowed as part of any presentation to the Board;

3.

Presentations to the Board must relate to issues which are in the public interest, and which
pertain to Lynn Haven government activities. These priorities should be considered:
a. Statements of matters involving public health or safety;
b. Statements relating to Board actions or business;
c. Statements involving various City departments under the City Manager; and
d. Statements directly pertaining to relevant Lynn Haven government programs, projects,
policies, or concerns.

4.

Speakers should make their comments concise and to the point, presenting relevant
information they wish the Board to consider.

5.

All remarks must be addressed to the Board as a body and not to any individual member of
the Board other than the Board Chair.

6.

No person, other than a member of the Board and the person having the floor, may be
permitted to enter into any discussion, either directly or through a member of the Board,
without permission of the Chair.

7.

A Speaker's time is an opportunity to direct comments to the Board; though questions may
be presented to the Board, it is not a time for a question-and-answer session or dialogue.

8.

Any Speaker who becomes disorderly or who fails to confine remarks to the identified subject
or business at hand or who violates this policy may be given a verbal warning by the Chair.
Following such a warning, the Speaker may continue, provided that they do so in accordance
with this policy. If, after such a warning the Speaker fails to comply with this policy, the
Speaker may be directed to end their comments. If the Speaker does not do so, they may be
subject to removal from the meeting room. The Chair may bar any person failing to comply
with this policy after receiving a warning from making any additional comments during the
meeting, unless permission to continue, or to address the Board again, is granted by the
majority of the Board members present.

9.

Clapping, applauding, heckling or verbal outbursts in support of or opposition to a Speaker or
their remarks is discouraged. Any such activity that becomes disruptive may result in removal
from the meeting. Persons exiting the Commission Chamber or meeting room must do so
quietly and in a non-disruptive manner.

Second to the Motion:

Commissioner Perno

Mayor Lowery opened the floor to the public for comments. Commissioner Peebles sought clarity
that this would only be for any new non ad valorem requests. Yes, starting September 2026.
Mr. Scray – Recommends putting this in as an ordinance anyway in the meantime in case it doesn’t
pass the referendum, and to cover any non ad valorem assessments that do come up before September
2026.
Commissioner Peebles – if a new non ad valorem comes up before the referendum he wouldn’t put
it on the agenda until after the referendum.

NEW BUSINESS
Item # 8.
Discussion and possible approval regarding continuing with the Townhall
Meetings.
The City Manager explained the item.
Commissioner Tinder – If the rest of the commission votes to continue, she will be there, but for only
10-15 people it seems like a big expense for so few people.
The City Manager confirmed the first one had about 20 people in attendance and the past two
meetings had only about 10 people.
Commissioner Peebles – would like to focus on availability rather than numbers, and people are also
joining online.
Commissioner Perno – We haven’t done the townhall without public commentary so we wouldn’t
see real numbers until there is no public commentary at meetings. He added that the intent appears to
be to eliminate general public commentary from the meetings and do the town hall instead, yet we
haven’t eliminated general public commentary as part of the trial. The real test will be to eliminate
general public commentary while having the town hall meetings.
Commissioner Warrick – We observed a much different atmosphere than a commission meeting with
better interaction and dialogue between the residents and elected officials. This is not about
eliminating public participation. Public comment before an agenda item is required by statute and
will continue. Many non-agenda issues are better addressed at the town hall. He spoke further on the
matter.

Motion by Commissioner Warrick

to modify public commentary to be audience
participation limited to agenda items while continuing
public comment on agenda items as required by law and
establish monthly community town halls on the
Saturday prior to the 4th Tuesday Commission meeting,
from 9 to 11.

Mayor Lowery – feels the same way as Commissioner Tinder and Commissioner Perno. Does not
want to give up public commentary from Commission meetings.
Further discussion ensued.
Commissioner Warrick feels it is a duplication of effort if we keep general public commentary and
the town hall.
Commissioner Peebles would like both town hall and general public commentary.
Commissioner Perno would like to trial it for another two months, but without general public
commentary at meetings during the trial.
Motion restated by Commissioner Warrick
to modify public commentary to be
audience participation limited to agenda items while
continuing public comment on agenda items as required
by law and establish monthly community town halls on
the Saturday prior to the 4th Tuesday Commission
meeting, from 9 to 11.
Further discussion and clarification ensued. Commissioner Warrick clarified that his intent is that
there would be audience participation at the beginning of the meeting strictly about agenda items, and
then again at each agenda item before any vote.
Second to the Motion:

Commissioner Tinder

Mr. Hines – Rhode Island – if there is an agenda item people want to speak on, they should speak on
it and cut out the general comments.
Mr. Scray – would this audience participation be before or after additions? Mayor, it will be at each
item before the items. Mr. Scray sought the attorney’s input. Attorney – the public must have an
opportunity to provide comment before the vote at any stage in the process. Scray – why not just
allow audience participation on each agenda item before any motion is made. Mr. Scray feels the
audience participation at the beginning of the meeting would be redundant and they should just allow
commentary at each item before a vote is taken
Commissioner Warrick – we should change where audience participation is placed.
Ms. Parker – spoke about her history with commission meetings. Spoke against doing away with
general public commentary.
Mr. Beshearse – there are 11 citizens at this commission meeting so not much more than the town
hall. Also, we haven’t done a proper test of the town hall while still holding general public
commentary at commission meetings. Also, previously people spoke long because there were
contentious issues. We also have other options to communicate with representatives.
City Manager asked Commissioner Warrick if he would consider amending his motion for the town
halls to be flexible to consider the public holidays.

Item # 11. Discussion only of the way forward to go through the ordinances by chapter.
Commissioner Peebles explained the item.
Mayor Lowery – do we need to have a tiger team? Commissioner Peebles – no, the commissioners
should simply speak with the subject matter experts on a particular ordinance.
Commission Tinder – agrees with Commission Peebles.
Commissioner Perno – will it be workshops or commission meetings.
Commissioner Peebles – we will know ahead of time so we can send red-lines and comments back
to staff, have it put on agenda, discuss the amendments, and discuss it live.
City Manager – suggested starting with parks.
Mayor Lowery – asked Commissioner Peebles to be the commission point person to liaise with CJ to
send out appropriate material and prep for commission meetings.
Item # 12. Public Commentary.
Mr. Scray – appreciates starting with parks. He would like to see added that special events be allowed
with alcohol with proper insurance and processes. Jackson County data center – lot of info out there
about data centers. He would like to draw public attention to the fact that there is a lot we can do to
ensure that any industrial commercial developments are highly scrutinized and self-sustaining and
protect our resources.
Mrs. Parker – spoke about how long it took to fire Gainer and do a recall on Nelson. If we only had
opportunity to comment at a town hall once a month, you could imagine how much longer it would
take.
Mr. Thompson – tomorrow he will publish an expose about flock cameras. He wants them to look
into the flock representative that came here in 2025 that said they point and shoot pictures and are not
traceable. According to F.S. the data on these LPRs are confidential. FS 316.0777 – labels every piece
of data from LPR confidential and exempt from public records. Yet the city sent confidential data to
more than 1500 places around the county. 21000 hits of hot lists. He asked if the city would commit
to answering his question of “is his license plate on the city’s hot list?” He addressed Commissioner
Peebles as a cyber security person.
Item # 13. Mayor’s Report.
Had a good town hall with 10 regulars over a two-hour discussion. Nothing else to report
Item # 14.

Commissioners’ Reports.

Commissioner Perno – Saw a piece on the TV about the leadership training session held by our PD.
Looking forward to the next concert. Thank you all for attending the town halls. Thanked everyone
for all they do, and for attending these meetings.
Commissioner Peebles – Thanked everyone for coming and joining in the healthy debates. Quarterly
TPO meeting tomorrow. Thanks to staff. Will be playing co-ed softball in the summer and hopes to
see others there too. He asked the public to help him brainstorm about data centers – research on
some policies ahead of time.
Commissioner Tinder – thanked everyone for their kind wishes. She is eager to be at the next meeting.
Asked the City Manager where we are on the 10th street project by the school? City Manager - They
are continuing to work and are ahead of schedule for when the contract ends in August.
Commissioner Warrick – after last meeting he spoke with Ms. Grandpre who is incredibly
knowledgeable. She mentioned our comp plan and ULDC are in desperate need of updating. Attended
the Cain Griffin ribbon cutting. Been doing research on Data centers and there are some things the
federal and state government have done to assist us, but we need to do our own due diligence. Touch
a truck event was great and was coordinated by Chief Blanchard’s team.

1. Call to Order
Mr. White, Chairman called the meeting to order at 5:30pm.
….
4. Consideration for request of a Small Scale Future Land Use Map Amendment; 26-01; 201 W
14th Street, Parcel #10223-000-000
Ms. Grandpre, Planning Director, stated that the applicant/owner, JDF Properties, LLC, is
requesting a Small Scale Future Land Use Map Amendment recommendation for approval to
change the land use from Mobile Home Park to Mixed Use.
When considering a request for a land use change, the land use of the surrounding properties should
be compatible for the requested land use. In this instance, the requested land use change is
compatible as there is a Mixed Use land use to the east and west of the property. The adjacent land
uses are North: Commercial, South: High Density Residential, East: Mixed Use, West: Mixed Use.
Board Discussion
Mr. Nolte thanked Ms. Grandpre for the addition of information to the Staff Report for the
Recommendation and Alternatives. Mr. White asked Mr. Finch if he knew what he was going to do
with the property. Mr. Finch addressed the commission and stated there is a proposed plan for a
bank, and a fast food restaurant (possibly a Culver’s restaurant). Mr. Finch provided a rendering
of the proposed bank to the commission. Mr. Doolittle asked if this development would consume
the entirety of the property. Mr. Finch stated about half for the two developments, and a portion

for the stormwater ponds. Mr. Finch stated that the land use was for a Mobile Home Park, and he
did not want to develop a mobile home park as that was not the best use for the property. Mr. White
asked about the timeframe for the development assuming everything gets approved. Mr. Finch
stated the land use change takes 30 days, and once everything gets approved the bank will start as
soon as possible after all the permits are issued. Mr. Nolte asked whether the proposed townhomes
will be part of the future plans. Mr. Finch stated that he is not sure that will happen as the stormwater
ponds took up a lot of the property.

Conditions in the Staff Report.

Title VI/Nondiscrimination Policy and Plan
for Sub-Recipients in the Local Agency Program (LAP) with
the Florida Department of Transportation.
Policy Statement
The City of Lynn Haven values diversity and welcomes input from all interested parties, regardless of
cultural identity, background, or income level. Moreover, the City believes that the best programs and
services result from careful consideration of the needs of all of its communities and when those communities
are involved in the transportation and other decision-making processes. Thus, the City does not tolerate
discrimination in any of its programs, services, or activities. Pursuant to Title YI of the Civil Rights Act of
1964 and other federal and state authorities, the City will not exclude from participation in, deny the benefits
of, or subject to discrimination anyone on the grounds of race, color, national origin, sex, age, disability,
religion, income, or family status.
Complaint Procedures
The City has established a discrimination complaint procedure and will take prompt and reasonable action to
investigate and eliminate discrimination when found. Any person who believes that he or she has been
subjected to discrimination based upon race, color, national origin, sex, religion, age, disability, family, or
income status in any of the City's programs, services or activities may file a complaint with the City Title

ADA/504 Statement

Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504), the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990
(ADA) and related federal and state laws and regulations forbid discrimination against those who have
disabilities. Furthermore, these laws require federal aid recipients and other government entities to take
affirmative steps to reasonably accommodate the disabled and ensure that their needs are equitably
represented in transportation programs, services, and activities.
The City will make every effort to ensure that its facilities, programs, services, and activities are accessible
to those with disabilities. The City will make every effort to ensure that its advisory committees, public
involvement activities, and all other programs, services and activities include representation by the disabled
community and disability service groups.
The City encourages the public to report any facility, program, service, or activity that appears inaccessible
to those who are disabled. Furthermore, the City will provide reasonable accommodation to disabled
individuals who wish to participate in public involvement events or who require special assistance to access
facilities, programs, services, or activities. Because providing reasonable accommodation may require
outside assistance, organization or resources, the City asks that requests be made at least fifteen (15)
calendar days prior to the need for accommodations.
Questions, concerns, comments, or requests for accommodation should be made to the City's ADA Officer:

Secs. 42-59, 42-60. - Reserved.
ARTICLE III. - SPECIAL EVENTS

Sec. 42-61. - Title of article.
This article shall be known as the City of Lynn Haven Special Events Ordinance.
(Ord. No. 1115, § 1, 9-15-21)
Sec. 42-62. - Purpose.
The purpose of this article is to provide for the regulation of special events in the City of Lynn Haven's
publicly owned parks, facilities, streets, roads and rights-of-way. This article in no way regulates private
property within the city.
(Ord. No. 1115, § 1, 9-15-21)
Sec. 42-63. - Definitions.
The following words, terms and phrases, when used in this article, shall have the meanings ascribed to
them in this section, except where the context clearly indicates a different meaning:

Event venue shall mean any publicly owned park, facility, street, road or right-of-way or combination
thereof coordinated as a whole for the event and requested to be used for a special event. An event venue
may consist of one or more patron gathering spaces, in particular indoor and outdoor spaces, but also other

Lynn Haven, FL Code of Ordinances

types of spaces with different occupancy limits.

Special event shall mean any assembly of persons, whether planned or unplanned, which also meets one
or more of the following criteria:
(a) Attendance anticipated exceeds venue capacity. It is reasonably anticipated that the number
of persons who will attempt to attend the event at any point in time will exceed the number
of persons permitted within the event venue. Event venue capacity shall be the aggregate of
the capacity of all patron gathering spaces within the venue. The capacity of each gathering
space shall be determined by the building or life safety code or other law applicable to that
space.
(b) Vehicle parking anticipated exceeds on-site capacity. It is reasonably anticipated that the
number of persons anticipated to attend the event by vehicle will exceed on-site event
parking.
(c) City resources anticipated. The gathering is reasonably anticipated to require for its safe and
successful execution the provision or coordination of services by the city or by the event
producer to a material degree above that which the city routinely provides under ordinary,
everyday circumstances. City services include, but are not limited to, fire and police
protection, crowd control, traffic control, parking control, street closure, emergency medical
services, garbage or trash facilities or clean-up and sanitation facilities (herein "city services").
All special events are divided into three classes:
(a) A "small event" being an event with an anticipated, maximum attendance at any point in time
of more than 50 but less than 100 persons.
(b) A "medium event" being an event with an anticipated, maximum attendance at any point in
time of 100 or more but less than 500 persons.
(c) A "large event" being an event with an anticipated, maximum attendance at any point in time
exceeding 500 persons.
A parade held on a public street or road and lasting no more than two hours is not, without more, a
special event.
(Ord. No. 1115, § 1, 9-15-21)
Sec. 42-64. - Permit required; purpose.
No person or entity shall stage, promote or conduct any special event without holding a valid special
event permit granted by the city manager under this article. The purpose of this law is to ensure that special
events do not endanger public health or safety and to permit the city to understand and prepare for known
collateral and secondary effects of special events in the community. The permitting process is not intended

Lynn Haven, FL Code of Ordinances

to control or regulate special events based on their content, the nature or type of speech involved, or any
speaker's viewpoint. City hosted or sponsored special events are exempt from the permit requirements of
this section.
(Ord. No. 1115, § 1, 9-15-21)
Sec. 42-65. - Coordination with city community services department.
In addition to obtaining a special event permit under this article, no person or entity shall conduct any
special event without first reserving space through the city community services department. Any planned
event in a City of Lynn Haven owned park or facility with an anticipated attendance that exceeds 50 people
is presumed to be a special event under this ordinance that requires a special event permit. The city
reserves the right to require applicants for special events to obtain insurance, depending on the size and
circumstances of the event, and further to name the city as an additional insured to the coverage for the
event.
(Ord. No. 1115, § 1, 9-15-21)
Sec. 42-66. - Suspension of permit; remedy of excesses (planned events).
(a) Each plan included in the special event application, and any conditions imposed by the city
manager shall be continuously implemented during the special event, and any failure to do so
shall result in the automatic suspension of the permit and suspension of the event until full
implementation is made.
(b) Should the actual attendance in the event venue or any gathering space within the event venue,
the actual number of vehicles, or the city services actually required at a permitted event exceed
for a period of one hour the number or level anticipated by the application and permit, it shall
become the duty of all persons able to control the event to take reasonable and diligent
measures to reduce the excess until achieved. The failure of any such person to immediately,
after notice from city manager or the city police chief, or their designees, make a reasonable and
diligent effort to reduce the excess shall be a violation of this law punishable by penalties
specified in City of Lynn Haven Code section 1-13. The city police chief, or his/her designee, is
authorized to shut down or slowly reduce the event below the applicable criteria threshold as
compliance.
(c) Conversely, should actual attendance fall below the permit estimates for a sustained period and
appear likely to continue at reduced levels, the city manager or his/her designee shall be
authorized, but not required, to allow the applicant to reduce staffing to the minimums
reasonably required.

(Ord. No. 1115, § 1, 9-15-21)
Sec. 42-67. - Spontaneous unpermitted assembly.
The city has found and determined that some special events occur spontaneously, without a permit,
especially if attendance is promoted through instantaneous, social media.
(1) If an assembly develops into a special event spontaneously (and therefore without a permit),
it shall become the duty of all persons or entities able to control the event venue to take
reasonable and diligent measures to reduce the activity or circumstances which caused the
assembly to become a special event. The failure of any such person or entity to immediately,
after notice from the city manager or city police chief, or their designee, make a reasonable
and diligent effort to reduce the event below the applicable criteria threshold shall be in
violation of this law punishable by Lynn City Code section 1-13. The city police chief, or his/her
designee, is authorized to approve actions to shut down or slowly reduce the event below the
applicable criteria threshold as compliance.
(2) Whether a spontaneous assembly has developed into a special event based upon attendance,
vehicle congestion or a need for city services, or any combination of those three, shall be
determined by an objective and reasonable examination of the totality of the circumstances
at hand.
(Ord. No. 1115, § 1, 9-15-21)

(2) Twenty calendar days for a medium event; and
(3) Ten calendar days for a small event.
Notwithstanding the forgoing, the city manager may, in his/her discretion, waive the time requirements
for applications in extraordinary circumstances. Applications shall be reviewed in the order received and
priority shall be given to timely filed applications.

prohibited within the event (herein a "no alcohol event").
(7) An estimate of the largest number of persons anticipated to be in attendance in the event
venue at any point in time and a plan to manage and control or disburse the persons desiring
to enter the event after capacity is reached.

protection and emergency services, including ambulance service, and emergency vehicle
access in and around the event venue, and the general background of the training and ability
of the personnel to be used in implementing the plan.
(5) A plan for medical services to be provided at the special event.
(6) A plan for assuring that all stages, booths, tents, scaffoldings or structures of any kind on,
under or within which persons may congregate, will conform to applicable building and
construction codes in effect within the city.
(7) A site plan showing the location and size of the event venue, all parking areas (including

shall determine the city services needed as a direct result of the event, together with any city
services requested by the applicant, and their respective costs, and shall prepare an itemization
of the services and their cost (the city services fee). The purpose of the city services fee is to place
upon the special event the marginal cost of providing city services which are reasonably
necessary to directly support the event.
(c) The level of city services required shall be determined by an objective, reasonable examination of
the totality of the circumstances, including, but not limited to, the following factors:
(1) The size of the event venue and the anticipated attendance.
(2) The location of the event to determine the potential for pedestrian and vehicular congestion.
(3) The nature of the event and the activities planned during it.

itemization and amount of the city services fee and attempt to schedule or arrange a pre-permit
conference with the applicant in order to discuss the conduct of the event, the coordination of
public and private resources, and the level of city services required and the amount of the city
services fee. It shall be the applicant's duty to attend the pre-permit meeting at a day and time
convenient for city staff, or to request an alternative to the pre-permit meeting and the city
manager shall allow the request if it is reasonable and practical to do so.
(e) If the applicant does not accept the type and extent of city services listed and the amount of the
city services fee, the city shall nonetheless proceed in ordinary course to complete the application
process and either deny the permit through the process contained in this article without
consideration of the applicant's objection to the fee, or if the applicant is entitled to the permit
then grant the permit upon the condition that the city services fee be paid before the permit
