This is some additional information about the Ukrainian town we’re working with. We’ll keep you posted on our ability to provide any technical assistance.

Longboat Key – Serhiivka friendship
To: Longboat Key Department Heads
Sharing the slides that were presented by the Ukrainian town we’re talking with. Again, perspective is a powerful tool and what these folks are going through helps us to remember that 1) we really don’t have any serious problems and 2) positive leadership in the face of difficult times is critical to keep a community moving forward. What the Serhiivka leadership is exhibiting is the Admiral Stockdale paradox – “Retain faith that you will prevail in the end, regardless of the difficulties and confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they may be”. Easy to say, hard to do and we can be inspired by their example.

You met me at the Spanish Main clubhouse late last year. I wanted to let you know that the lawsuit and lien on SMYC has been dissolved by the presiding judge which is great news for all of us. I think the Observer sees a copy of this e-mail, maybe they can write a short news blast.

Retirement
To: Longboat Key Commissioner Sarah Karon
Thank you for the heartfelt card and, in particular, for the gracious and thoughtful words you shared in recognition of my retirement. Please know how deeply I appreciate them.
It has been a distinct honor to serve as your Deputy Chief and Interim Police Chief. After 45 years in law enforcement, I consider myself fortunate to have dedicated my career to work I truly love—and even more fortunate to have shared part of that journey with the individuals who live and work on Longboat Key.
Thank you for everything you do on behalf of our community. As I conclude this chapter of my professional life, it has been a true honor to serve under your leadership. With highest respect and appreciation.

To: Longboat Key Commission
I was unaware that this week you would be discussing the Groin Sign at The St Regis or I would have been there to personally address you. I apologize for not being there.
I think there was a horrible misunderstanding of how this matter was handled and how we got to where we are today. I’ve been in business for 30 years and have always played by the rules throughout my career.
I personally will be at the commission on Monday at 1:00 PM to address this matter and hopefully add clarity to how we got here and seek resolution. I hope your listen with open minds as we have been a good community partner and I think a huge benefit for Longboat Key. We have not caused any traffic issues, provided several new dining and drinking venues, we have raised property values, hugely increased the property tax revenue, provided meaningful employment opportunities and gained a great reputation throughout the country. We delivered on our promise and are committed to being a solid part of the community and a team player. I look forward to seeing you.

Rates for services
To: Longboat Key Mayor Ken Schneier
Your understanding of the amended fee schedule is correct. Since 2017, the Town Attorney fee hourly rates have increased annually each October 1, beginning in 2018.
Attached is this year’s CPI letter that was transmitted to the Town in April 2025 reflecting a CPI adjustment of 2.3% for FY 2025-26. That CPI adjusted the 2024-25 rates to the current 2025-26 rates (which are already applicable to the Town) as follows:
Maggie Mooney Current Rate: $287/hour Rate beginning Oct. 1: $294/hour
Partners/Attorneys Current Rate: $268/hour Rate beginning Oct. 1: $274/hour
Associates Current Rate: $237/hour Rate beginning Oct. 1: $243/hour
The rates reflected in the Third Amendment that is before the Town Commission include the above rate schedule and include additional categories (billed at lower rates) for paralegals and associates with less than 5 years of experience. We will put together an analysis of the annual CPI increases since 2018. I am hopeful we will have it in time for the 1 pm meeting today. Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

Town Attorney Contract
To: Longboat Key Town Attorney Maggie Mooney
An amendment to your firm’s contract with Longboat Key appears on the Consent Agenda for the December 8, 2025 Town Commission meeting. The proposed amendment contains an updated fee schedule, including some new categories. For pre-existing categories, I believe the amended fees reflect changes from the schedule created in 2017, the last time the contract was formally amended, and that the actual fees have increased each year per the COLA provision contained in the original contract. Would you confirm this and also let us know what the most recent fees have been with the COLA increases, so that we can understand that actual year-on-year impact of the new contract schedule?

Agenda Request Item for the first meeting in January 2026
To: Sarasota City Manager Dave Bullock and City Clerk Shayla Griggs
As the City’s liaison to the Sarasota Housing Authority, I would like to request, on their behalf, an agenda item be added to the first meeting in January 2026 for the City Commission to discuss the idea of the City working with the Housing Authority to potentially participate in the construction of public parking spaces in the proposed McCown Towers III new Senior Housing development application and parking garage. This request is the result of discussion at the SHA Board meeting on Dec 10, 2025
Would you kindly reach out to me for any discussion, or necessary clarity on this item. Mr Russell and I will work on submitting backup materials, so please let us know the deadline for this agenda item.

Notes from SHA Board meeting
To: Sarasota City Commissioner Jen Ahearn-Koch
Commissioner Koch, thank you for bringing up the important topic of parking at tonight’s SHA meeting. In case helpful, here are my notes on SHA Board inputs at the meeting:
David Morgan: They want to make sure that they are not getting hit with the Maintenance and upkeep. Feels like the City commission feels like they may expect us to be subsidizing this parking. As context, yes, we’re part of the OG part of rosemary. I want to make sure that we’re doing good by the neighborhood either way we go. The other side, is the city going to chip in for the maintenance? I want to make sure if we’re doing a community service here—but affordable housing should not be subsidizing parking for the City. Our mission is housing.
Philip: To clarify, the garage could be “revenue generating”, but it may not be profitable.
William: it would actually be better for us if we didn’t charge. Time is of the essence. We communicated to Dave Bullock that we wanted by the end of the year, we need a commitment. Do you know if it’s on the agenda for the 6th? William explains that they need solidified design, it pushes everything off. Need an answer. Confirmed that they are Weekly meetings with Dave and lawyers. I would have thought that Dave would have gotten it on the agenda before end of year.
Philip: Ok, so there is an indication of interest. We need a formal approval of the City Commission that they want to fund public parking spaces as a part of this development. We said the financing could be worked out later. But we need it on the record so we can proceed.
Philip: Suggest a formal letter of interest from Commission as a starting point. Two steps in these types of transactions: one, agreeing on concept, the second agreeing on financing. What is the absolute hard deadline for financial commitment? (answer from zoom): March would be absolute.
Joe/Jack (on zoom): To be clear, this conversation started with the City a year ago—we can’t continue to push it. We have to move this forward if it’s going anywhere. Joe: I think the one thing is. This is a public benefit to everyone in the area. If there is not revenue share, maybe if we all agree public benefit, maybe that applies to us. Less is easier than more, so maybe we stick with one level.

I am resending Friday’s email because I did not put on a subject so it may have been missed. In addition, this morning we have a car outside with a worker sitting in it right now in his work clothes. Photo and license plate shown. In addition Voeller has an industrial truck in front of our front door right now.
I can’t say often enough how disrespectful this is to us their neighbors as well as the city. When will you come up with a good solution to this ongoing problem? Talk isn’t working. Fines, towing and penalties are the only thing that will motivate Voeller. You can see from the texts I attached they know what they are doing and don’t care about the regulations and commitments they have made. We need solutions.

It’s been 2 days since Voeller told you they would stop parking in front of our building and they are back.
Today, we saw that they were back again and at least 3 units in our building have maintenance people coming out this morning so I sent a text to Mr. Kennedy at Voeller asking him to have the 3 trucks moved out of our parking area.
You can see from his text he acknowledged that he knew they were there in our spaces. I had to go down to the street for 20 minutes stand and guard the one remaining spot to make sure my maintenance guy had a place to park. The gallery trucks were never moved (should have never been there in the first place) even though Mr. Kennedy acknowledged he knew about them. In addition as I was standing on the street a group of workers went into one of them. You can see from my photos it’s literally in front of our entry.
Once again, they have ignored you and me. It’s time to do something about this disrespect to all of us. Please see that they are fined, towed or something to prove that we are serious. I’m tired of this and I shouldn’t have to go to the street and spend my valuable time holding the only open space. One more note, we’re seeing an increasing amount of garbage (soda cans, food wrappers) from the workers on our property as well as a downed branch that they knocked off the tree.

To: Sarasota City Commissioner Liz Alpert
In an effort to keep current I am once again contacting you all on behalf of the insanity residing at 2894 Browning. While contacting a lawyer may be our best option at this point, in the meantime we would appreciate the camera being re-installed as David’s erratic behavior has once again been heightened since its removal. His most recent rant included his intent to “kill everyone on the street” and while this is not surprising whatsoever coming from his mouth, we will continue to not be in our front yards, not make eye contact, not let our kids play in earshot of him, walk our pets in the opposite direction, call law enforcement as needed, sleep lightly and pray for resolution. We appreciate your time and attention.

Malear – Browning Street
To: Sarasota City Commissioner Liz Alpert
We have just received word that David Malear is leaving jail/rehab and returning to his previous residence at 2894 Browning Street on Friday 6.13.25. Once again we are all at a loss as to how this is possible after he again assaulted our neighbor in broad daylight resulting in his most recent detainment.
This cycle continues as his mother is 100% aware of the volatile living arrangement she is placing her mentally ill son in once again. An entire neighborhood is on high alert, filled with dread and disbelief over his return and the drug-addicted company that he will inevitably have in tow.
A year since I last emailed, five since the beginning of this all, and we are again asking for your help in navigating a very scary situation in our Sarasota neighborhood. We appreciate your time and attention to this.

Malear – Browning Street
To: Sarasota City Commissioner Liz Alpert
In an effort to continue to express our need for attention and assistance in our neighborhood, I am writing to provide an update. David Malear is currently jailed on two counts of assault after attacking our neighbor with a baseball bat.
Once again we allowed our son to watch as the good guys got the bad guy; SPD with six SUVs, drone, motorcycles and an officer on a bullhorn is a bit much to deny.
While we can typically find peace in knowing that David is jailed, in this instance upon his arrest the drug addicts that were living in a tent in his backyard set up residence inside of his home. This added element of homeless drug addicts showering with the hose on his front lawn I find hard to explain away to my young son. We are living in constant fear and uncertainty of what is next.
This man needs professional help for his mental illnesses that his parents are not providing while allowing him to live in that house alone. We are afraid that once again upon release he will return to our neighborhood and continue this vicious cycle of violence, drug abuse and paranoid schizophrenia. This is not a safe or healthy environment for anyone involved and we are again asking for your help.

Malear – Browning Street
To: Sarasota City Commissioner Liz Alpert
There are certainly more details that I can add to the many emails and messages that you have received on David Malear’s behalf. However, I do know that you have a busy schedule and I will keep it as brief as possible.
I am the parent of one of the children on Browning Street that cannot play on their own front lawn. If David is in a screaming state we can’t play in the back yard either. My child, Arthur, has heard the nastiest, most hateful of words, had nightmares of the “mad guy” who was standing in our dining room window screaming at my husband, and watched as police have swarmed his house on far too many occasions— that certainly starts to lose its heroic appeal after awhile. This began when he was four, he is now nine. We do consciously try to let him see that SPD does respond and that the helpers are here for us.
As a mother I am in disbelief that a son, a human, is rotting in his own mental hell as he torments the lives of everyone around him on a daily basis. We have all collectively exhausted each and every effort that has been advised to us by the responding officers and it is with total desperation that I am writing you today. I have spoken to the mother, I have called the police, I have called the non-emergency police, I have prayed for his well-being and I have also gone and cried in person at the Office of the State Attorney.
Please look over the evidence provided and just imagine hearing it as my nine-year-old. I do not know how else to plead nor do I know anyone else to plead to. Every day feels closer to someone being seriously harmed; David’s mental health seems to be deteriorating as his rage grows.
We are parenting and protecting Arthur to the very best of our ability and if I do not send this letter to you, and every other contact given to me by my neighbors, I have not done everything that I can to ensure my son’s safety and well-being. I appreciate your time and attention.

Urgent Request for Traffic-Calming Measures in Laurel Park

Urgent Request for Traffic-Calming Measures
in Laurel Park
To: Sarasota City Commissioner Liz Alpert
I hope you are well. I am writing as a resident and property owner of the Laurel Park neighborhood to express my growing concern about the excessive and dangerous speeding occurring throughout our community—particularly along Orange Avenue and Laurel Street. These streets have increasingly become high-risk areas where drivers routinely exceed safe speeds, posing serious hazards for pedestrians, bicyclists, children, and other residents.
In just the past few weeks, I have personally experienced several extremely dangerous incidents while simply walking my dogs. In each case, speeding vehicles approached far too quickly for a residential neighborhood, creating situations that could easily have resulted in serious harm. These experiences have made it clear that the current conditions are not only unsafe but worsening.
As someone with experience as a trauma nurse, I know firsthand the devastating and life-altering consequences that can result from being struck by a car. This background makes me especially aware of how urgent and serious the risk has become in our community.
The situation is further complicated by the “pedestrian-activated crosswalk lights” at Orange Avenue and Pineapple Avenue. Not only do many drivers ignore these signals entirely, but the crosswalk system itself is often in disrepair, reducing its effectiveness and contributing to unsafe crossings. This makes even designated pedestrian areas hazardous.
Given the narrow roads, dense residential character, and steady foot traffic in Laurel Park and Burns Court the persistent speeding presents an immediate safety issue. Traditional signage and occasional enforcement have clearly not been enough to deter ongoing violations.
I respectfully request that the City consider implementing advanced traffic-calming technologies—specifically speed cameras and automated enforcement systems—to help slow down vehicles and improve safety. During the years I lived in Washington, D.C., as well as in nearby Maryland and Virginia, similar systems were widely used. They were immensely effective in reducing speeding and making neighborhoods safer without requiring constant police presence. These systems also tend to pay for themselves within a relatively short period of time through fines and improved enforcement efficiency, making them both practical and financially sustainable. Additionally, modern speed cameras can be moved easily to different locations as traffic patterns change or improve, allowing the City to adapt its enforcement strategy dynamically and cost-effectively.
I appreciate the City’s commitment to safe, walkable neighborhoods, and I hope District 2 will strongly consider this approach as part of its traffic-calming strategy. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss this issue further or participate in any community conversations on the topic. Thank you for your time and your service to our community.
