VI. Unfinished Business
a. Results from Recreation and Parks Advisory Board Surveys
Chair Mondello advised there were no updates, so there were no results at this time.
b. Parks System Master Plan Update
Franky Lazo, Recreation and Parks Assistant Director, reported that the Parks System
Master Plan is going to Commission for adoption on March 21, 2023, at 6:00 p.m. The
consultants will be giving a presentation and the department will be there as well.
c. Renaming of the Boynton Beach Tennis Court
Franky Lazo, Recreation and Parks Assistant Director, stated this already went to the
Commission and it was presented and approved. The name is going to be the Boynton
Beach Tennis and Pickleball Center. They are going to start updating all materials and
then work on signage to identify the building, which will help promote pickleball. They
have been working with the Grounds Division and Facilities and they want to have a
sign that highlights the building with some nice landscaping. Once drawings or designs
are available, they will bring them to the Board for review.
VII. New Business
a. Advisory Board Guidelines
Chair Mondello read the Guidelines, but did not know if there was something specific,
they needed to point out.
Vice Chair Pierce-Roe questioned how this currently affects the Board. She noted that
the old Commission and Mayor are listed, so maybe this an update.
Franky Lazo, Recreation and Parks Assistant Director, stated this is the latest and what
the code reads. This shows the purpose and duties of the actual Board.
Mr. Patterson indicated that the Youth Education Advisory Board got the same thing.
The Board needs to know what the mission is when presenting the annual report and
that is one of the reasons it was sent out.

Meeting Minutes - Recreation and Parks Advisory Board
Boynton Beach, Florida February 27, 2023
Chair Mondello thought Vice Chair Pierce-Roe might have asked about a template in
the minutes and questioned whether anyone answered back.
Mr. Patterson stated the Youth Education Advisory Board would not be answering him,
they would probably send it to her, as the Chair.
Ms. Mondello indicated she will reach out.
b. Recreation & Parks Advisory Board Annual Report
Franky Lazo, Recreation and Parks Assistant Director, advised the recommendation for
this Board was to present the annual report to the Commission in July, which is Parks
and Recreation month. Currently, there is no format or sample to refer to. No Advisory
Boards have gone to the Commission to present. He is a liaison for the Education and
Youth Advisory Board, and they took the mission and created goals and objectives for
the year. One thing was a Youth Summit event, so that is something incorporated into
their report. They are adding things they want to meet and bring to the Commission as
Measurable Goals. If the Recreation and Parks Board has something they want to do,
they need to know how they want to contribute based on the guidelines they have and
what their parameters are.
Vice Chair Pierce-Roe mentioned if the Education and Youth Advisory Board has an
event and asked if members are allowed to go to the event together.
Mr. Patterson stated that came up in the meeting on Thursday and they technically can,
but they have to keep notes. Legal was present for guidance. Some of the caveat is that
those dates must be published, the public has to be invited, and some other things. The
Youth Summit is going to be big and he is going to ask this Board to participate because
Parks and Recreation will be one of their main helpers. He suggested letting the lawyer
advise the Board before stepping into that entity.
Mr. Lazo advised they brought Legal to that meeting, and they allowed publicly
advertised meetings, which they are following. Minutes have to be taken, public has to
be able to have access to the meeting in an open forum, and the Board cannot vote on
any items. They can invite Legal to the next meeting for discussion.
Vice Chair Pierce Roe mentioned a lot of things the Board did in the past and she thinks
it is important that they showcase what they have, so people will come here all the time
instead of going to other communities. She thinks it is important that the Board go to
Hester Center or Denson Pool.
Chair Mondello thinks that would be nice. It would be a good thing to put on their goals
and objectives to actually go to and look at parks and suggest improvements.

Meeting Minutes - Recreation and Parks Advisory Board
Boynton Beach, Florida February 27, 2023
Mr. Patterson stated these are not regular meetings; these are additional meetings.
That is why there are extra dates, but because the event being so big and there are so
many items to cover, they will have additional meetings.
Vice Chair Pierce-Roe commented that in the past they went over everything here and
then got on a bus and drove for an hour.
Chair Mondello stated sometimes they would meet earlier, go through the agenda, and
then go on the bus. As long as there is documentation of their whereabouts with the
times, maybe it will be okay. She thinks it would be great to have a lawyer at the next
meeting. She thinks that would be a nice thing to present to the Commission to show
that they have recommended these changes. She will try to get started on this.
c. Little League Park Improvements
Mr. Lazo reported they are working with West Architect on their Conceptual Master Plan
for the Little League Park. The City has gone into an agreement with Prime Time Sports
Group, which was approved at the last Commission meeting. The agreement is to build
a training facility, and they will also be improving other aspects of the park, so they will
be adding another field, scoreboards to all the fields, and the City will allow them to
have a ground lease for 30 years. The City is not funding any of their projects, the City
is working on our portion of the project, which is to renovate fields #2 and #3, and then
have ADA walking paths throughout the entire park, and enhanced parking. Over 60
parking spaces are being added and they are looking to add an additional turn signal for
right and left turns. Currently, the park is one in and one out. The park is busy, and
people are parking everywhere. The new parking count will be 182 and they currently
have 112. With the new training facility, the developer will add another field, which will
facilitate Miracle League Play, ADA Accessible Play, T-ball coach pitch, and different
sports. They plan on having a turfed rectangular area.
Chair Mondello stated there are currently four fields and the two in the corner will
become smaller fields.
Mr. Lazo indicated the fields will be rectangular and they will allow for coach pitch and
T-ball. There will be artificial turf, so different sports can be played there. This project is
still in Conceptual Design through the City, so the City is designing it with the
consultant, and then they will bring in stakeholders and allow everyone to look at it.
Vice Chair Pierce-Roe asked if it was open bidding or if this person came in and said
they wanted to help with the field.
Mr. Lazo stated it was through procurement. They wrote a letter of interest to the City
and it was put out in the newspaper and all the different forums they have to go through,
and then it was passed in September, and the City went into negotiations with them and
4
Meeting Minutes - Recreation and Parks Advisory Board
Boynton Beach, Florida February 27, 2023
it was vetted through Legal with a 50-page agreement, which can be shared, and the
Commission got to see it two times.
Vice Chair Pierce-Roe thought it was strange that this was never brought before this
Board until it was almost approved. That is why she asked what their mission was as an
Advisory Board when there are things that are not on their ten-year and all of a sudden
something comes up. Perhaps something like this should come before the Recreation
and Parks Board. That is why going to different locations as a Board helps, so they can
have a better understanding. She feels the Board was left out and thought maybe they
should be invited or included to some of the new projects coming up.
Mr. Lazo apologized on behalf of the department; it was an oversight on their part. They
met with the Little League.
Vice Chair Pierce-Roe mentioned a large pole for telephone or communications and
asked if the person who is leasing it is going to get the funds that come from the tower
on that property.
Mr. Lazo replied no, the only lease they are getting is where the building sits. The park
and land is still City property, they just have a ground lease, which they will be paying
the City fees for. The City gets the revenue for the tower.
Vice Chair Pierce-Roe asked if the revenue from the tower will go back into the park for
other things being done or how the revenue works into the park.
Mr. Lazo stated he will follow up.
Vice Chair Pierce-Roe asked if the City will be responsible for the maintenance.
Mr. Lazo advised that maintenance would be minimized with the field going to artificial
turf. They are still going to be responsible for the maintenance of the park and the
developer will be responsible for the maintenance of the building and the surrounding
areas of the building.
Chair Mondello asked if they are adding things in the middle.
Mr. Lazo stated the next step will be going into construction drawings, so 30% and 70%
is a playground, which is something the League requested; multiple shade areas, drop
off areas, and each field has batting cages. There are fitness stations around the park
and walking trails around the entire park.
Mr. Cooper asked if this is adding a signalized intersection.
Mr. Lazo stated that is one of the discussions they are currently having. They are
working with Engineering to try to have a signal and they are comparing with other
5
Meeting Minutes - Recreation and Parks Advisory Board
Boynton Beach, Florida February 27, 2023
municipalities. He noted that Lantana has something just as bad, so they are looking at
what has been allowed and what the surrounding areas have to keep it safe.
Mr. Patterson requested more information regarding the training facility.
Mr. Lazo indicated that the training facility is an all-inclusive building. The gentleman
proposing to build the building is a sports agent, so he wants an area to have his clients
utilize when the park is in down time. If he was to request field usage, he would have to
come through the City, so permits could be issued.
Vice Chair Pierce-Roe asked if the building is open to the public.
Mr. Lazo stated they are working with him to have scholarships for children and to have
different activities in there. The main focus is that he wants to train his clients, but he
also wants to work with Miracle Leagues to have ADA programming on the fields, which
is a partnership program he will have with the City. He wants to have scholarships for
kids at Hester Center and he wants kids in low to middle income in the community to be
able to use the building as well. Not only does he want to bring in a baseball training
facility, but a sports training facility for the community to enjoy. He has talked about
working with the Little League to allow some usage in there as well.
Vice Chair Pierce-Roe indicated they have been seeing a trend in sports where school
and rec leagues are not enough to get kids to the next level. It is a genius idea because
everyone is paying for travel teams, special coaches, etc. To have it in Boynton Beach,
she is sure they will find a lot of baseball players coaching kids, so it will cost.
Mr. Lazo mentioned that they worked with Palm Beach Gardens, who has a similar
facility and layout. They visited multiple times; in the morning there were professional
football players kicking the ball on the field, there were USC athletes, boxers,
basketball, and all types of athletes there. In the afternoon there were Miracle League
activities, and a little later, there were rec teams and travel teams. Every kid will start on
fields #4 and #5, and work their way around the wheel. Kids who are transitioning from
recreation to travel will have a facility that can help them get to the next level. This park
also presents a sports tourism opportunity for the City.
Vice Chair Pierce-Roe asked if this will be open on weekends for citizens to use.
Mr. Lazo stated that is something they can discuss with the building owner.
Vice Chair Pierce-Roe noticed that the Hester Center changed their weight room times,
they used to be open from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., and now they are only open from 6:00
p.m. to 8:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.
Mr. Lazo advised the weight room is open throughout the day.

Boynton Beach, Florida February 27, 2023
Vice Chair Pierce-Roe does real estate and people want to know where they can go
and workout. She tells them they can go to Hester Center, but the new Fanfare said it is
only open Monday through Friday from 6:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m., and Saturdays from
9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. She wants to be sure when she gives information that it is
correct.
Mr. Lazo advised he will look at that because it must be a misprint. He mentioned that
he sometimes goes in the gym and then different people come in throughout the day.
Currently, the operating hours are 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., and on Saturday from 9:00
a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Mr. Fagan commented that parking calculations provide 182, but they require 269. He
asked if this park got a variance.
Mr. Lazo stated he could bring an answer back. Usually, they take the Conceptual Plans
through Planning and Zoning, Building, and everyone who needs to vet it, and that is
when the Site Plan approval comes out in permitting. If it is not correct, it will be
corrected.
Mr. Fagan questioned if 269 spaces are needed and why are they not providing that. He
asked where people are going to park.
Mr. Lazo stated from a spacing standpoint, they currently have 112 spaces and in
looking at the drawing, there are not a lot of opportunities to add more parking.
Chair Mondello mentioned the training facility and noted that it is by square-foot. They
might have a different ratio.
Mr. Lazo indicated they have to provide their own parking.
Vice Chair Pierce-Roe commented that those spaces will have to be part of their
parking area as part of that building.
Mr. Lazo clarified that the building is going to have its own parking dedicated to the
building. Part of it will mostly be used during non-peak park hours to minimize
interruptions.
Vice Chair Pierce-Roe suggested finding out how many buildings are for that space.
Mr. Fagan commented that if they get away with half the parking that is a legal
precedent.
Chair Mondello stated that the training facility has 40 and future expansion has 53.
Vice Chair Pierce-Roe questioned how many spaces are usually for handicap.
7
Meeting Minutes - Recreation and Parks Advisory Board
Boynton Beach, Florida February 27, 2023
Mr. Fagan stated there are four per 100; every 25 spaces is handicap.
Mr. Lazo thinks the plan identifies different areas throughout the park with handicap.
d. Upcoming Recreation Events
Gabrielle Favitta, Division Manager for Events Division, was present. She noted that
postcards were being distributed and they would like to invite this Board and anyone
they know who lives in the City of Boynton to their City Hall Social event, which will take
place on Thursday, March 2, 2023, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., in the City Hall lobby.
This is a great opportunity for community members to network and build relationships
with City Commission members and staff in a casual setting. There will be hors
d'oeuvres, a cash bar, jazz music by a saxophonist, a pianist, and a special guest
performance from jazz vocalist. Attendees will have an opportunity to tour the Boynton
Beach City Library's Creative Edge Studio. FAU Tech Runway Innovation will be on site
give information on what they provide to the community. A big highlight is that there will
be a couple directors from select departments to discuss any ideas, comments, or
concerns. It is one on one conversations and it will give a face to a name or department
in the City. Parking is available in the main parking lot on Boynton Beach Boulevard and
Seacrest Boulevard and you can enter the main entrance at City Hall. If anyone needs
the link to this information it is on the City website, or an email can be sent to her.
Justin Johnson, Marketing and Outreach Manager, advised they will have the
rescheduled Pickleball Grand Opening on Saturday, March 4, 2023, from 10:00 a.m. to
12:00 p.m., at the newly renamed Boynton Beach Tennis and Pickleball Center, which
will be hosted by Jeanette Javier of ESPN West Palm. She agreed to help promote the
new pickleball courts that also include pickleball clinics. There will be an exhibition
game and there will be a ceremonial first server, food trucks, etc.
The Annual Rally for the Cure is next Saturday, March 11, 2023, at 9:00 a.m., at the
Boynton Beach Tennis and Pickleball Center, in support of Raising Breast Cancer
Awareness. The entry fee is $30 per player, with a limit of 66. He has not had a chance
to see what the current registration number it, but it is capped at 66.
The Spring Fling Pickleball Tournament is on Monday, March 13, 2023, at 9:00 a.m., at
Ezell Hester Center. The cost is $35 per team for residents and $44 for non-residents.
A speaking engagement with Vincent Wilford will be held on Wednesday, March 15,
2023, at the Ezell Hester Center at 6:30 p.m. This is a free event, and they will be
auctioning several autographed footballs by Mr. Wilford, which will be raffled off.
Chair Mondello asked if they could request that Mr. Wilford be Grand Marshall at the
Christmas parade next year.
Wellness Wednesday is March 29, 2023 at Intracoastal Park, at 6:00 p.m.

Meeting Minutes - Recreation and Parks Advisory Board
Boynton Beach, Florida February 27, 2023
Vice Chair Pierce-Roe stated it is great to have INCA involved, so they can try to get the
community more involved.
Mr. Johnson has not received the formal registration links, but as soon as he gets those
he can forward them to everyone.
Vice Chair Pierce-Roe indicated that they did a nice job at the Dedication at the
Veteran's Counsel for the Dedication of the African-American Soldiers and Marines on
Saturday.
Mr. Lazo gave a shout out to Justin Johnson, Marketing and Outreach Manager, and
Michael Pinkner, Compliance Manager. They hustled and put that together.
Mr. Johnson thanked Dr. Latonya Hughes, who spoke on the history of the airmen and
was able to add in some personal touches because she was actually in school at
Tuskegee when the HBO movie premiered, and she spoke at the ceremony about how
it was a social event and they gathered in the dorms to watch the movie as it premiered
on HBO. He also thanked Dr. Karen McCray, who gave the prayer in honor of the
Veterans. Both took the speaking arrangements on very short notice and did a fantastic
job. Most importantly, they are his sister-in-law, and brother's mother-in-law
respectively.
Vice Chair Pierce-Roe commented that the flag was at half mass and crazy winds
wrapped it around the roof and some of the poles and ripped the flag in half. She
mentioned it to one of the gentlemen who drives around with the Parks Division and the
next day a new flag was up. She knows they changed out the garbage cans at Oyer
Park and with all the boats coming in and it being a busy weekend, the smaller garbage
cans look great, but the hole is small, and everyone stacks their stuff because their
bags are a lot larger when coming off the boats. Perhaps the parks can add a different
style. That was the only good thing about the blue trashcans, which were large 50-
gallon cans.
Mr. Lazo indicated since Wesley has taken over as the Parks and Grounds
Superintendent, he is very big on parks maintenance. He is developing a night crew to
work at parks to make sure they are always clean and he has a weekend crew as well.
They go to the beach a couple times and there is also a contractor, so staff may go
through there three or four times a day.
Vice Chair Pierce-Roe requested Mr. Lazo tell the maintenance men who go to the
beach to stay away from the dune grass because they want to make sure the grass
protects the beach.

Boynton Beach, Florida February 27, 2023
e. Discussion of Adjacent Land to Parks
Mr. Lazo stated that Shawn brought it to their attention that there is a huge for sale sign
and apparently they all missed it. They have been working with GIS to look at PAPAS to
see what it says. PAPAS is not reflecting the property for sale, but they did get a land
value for it. It is two properties and two parcels. The first one is 512 North Federal
Highway, which has a land value of about $802,000, and the other is 600 North Federal
Highway, which has a land value of $356,000. They are looking into it but they do not
have much of an update for now.
Vice Chair Pierce-Roe stated the City might want to look into pieces of property like
Boynton 500 while this development is going on because property like that is important.
If they are going to have a complex where pets are allowed, they should have to
somehow do a dog park. There are dogs everywhere and she thinks it should not be the
City's responsibility to try to make sure things are put out for dogs where apartments are
being built and allowing pets. The apartments get fees for allowing pets. Perhaps, with
so much building going on in Downtown, it would be a perfect place to have a park and
it should be purchased by some of the builders coming in.
Mr. Fagan agreed.
Mr. Lazo stated one of the projects they are working on is still very conceptual; it is
Jaycee Park. They are looking at converting that into a dog park. They are still taking
assessment and that will be brought forward to all the stakeholders to review and then
the Commission will have input as well. Another thing they are looking at is their existing
dog park. It is not the best maintained dog park. The Master's Association is supposed
to do the maintenance and they have been hounding them and getting their Legal team
involved because they are not holding up to their end of the bargain. They have been
getting some calculations as to what it would cost to maintain that park and tell them
they are obligated to do the maintenance and if they do not do it, then the City will sue
them or hold some leverage on them. They understand there are a lot of dogs. A lot of
developers are factoring dogs.
Vice Chair Pierce-Roe indicated they were supposed to that at Boynton 500, but it never
went through, and they were never penalized for it. She thinks taking a people park they
have to trade for a dog park, especially on a prime piece of property on the Intracoastal
Waterway, might not be the best concept. She asked if they considered Betty Thomas
Park, which is not far away.
Mr. Lazo advised that Jaycee is one of the concepts they had, but through the Master
Plan, one question is dog parks, so they are identifying multiple areas. Hopefully, the
Master Plan is a tool they will use and that is going to Commission soon. They have
taken a lot of public input on that subject and it is going to be their guiding tool for how
they develop the future of recreational parks in the City.

Meeting Minutes - Recreation and Parks Advisory Board
Boynton Beach, Florida February 27, 2023
Vice Chair Pierce-Roe mentioned Girl Scout Park, a large piece of property they have
been talking about for years. They have open fields, kayak stations, a picnic area, etc.
There are parks out there that have not been developed, so to change parks that are
already made in that same area does not make sense, and that is why Betty Thomas
Park was built because there were no parks in that section.
Ms. Pandev commented that apartment complexes near the Target on Congress
Avenue and Old Boynton have dog parks. She noted there is more than one. She
mentioned this for developers, so when they are building it can be incorporated into
their building plan.
Chair Mondello stated that is what they were talking about.
Mr. Conklin asked if Mr. Fagan had any thoughts on that land.
Mr. Fagan thinks they should do it either as a dog park, exercise field, or something.
There are so many dogs in those condominiums and the idea of driving your dog does
not work most of the time.
Mr. Conklin mentioned crossing the highway after work.
Vice Chair Pierce-Roe mentioned the property with St. Marks and asked if the City ever
got back together with them since there is a new group of people there to try to see if
they might work with the City or developer to actually replace the pier behind the
church.
Chair Mondello stated from what she understood, the Diocese did not renew their lease,
so they do not have access to that park anymore at all.
Mr. Lazo stated there has been conversations. One project the City is working on is
behind Casa Costa, the Boynton Beach Extension, so that is a project that has been put
out to bid. Engineering and Public Works are looking to renovate that area and
eventually it may lead into the City working something out with the church, maybe a
land swap so the public can still utilize that park.
Vice Chair Pierce-Roe stated that the City wanted to have walking space along
Intracoastal Park. It would be nice if the City could work something out with the church
to see if they can do something. Again, here is great land that needs to be improved.
VIII. Public Audience
Ernest Mignoli, resident, commented that Ocean Front Park is probably one of the
greatest ocean beaches in the country, but it is being destroyed by this City. He goes to
that beach every day and never sees anyone from the Boards, Commission, Police, or
Fire.
11
Meeting Minutes - Recreation and Parks Advisory Board
Boynton Beach, Florida February 27, 2023
Chair Mondello stated she goes there all the time.
Mr. Mignoli stated there are drugs, used condoms, beer, whiskey, wine bottles, and
broken glass everywhere. Lifeguards are sitting in air-conditioned offices and families
are getting drunk and high on the beach, letting little kids go into the rough surf; it is
called unattended children. Rules in the park say "No dogs". Teenagers are throwing
footballs, baseballs, racquetballs, etc., and they hit people in the face and the lifeguards
do not do anything. They need new lifeguards. The rules that are posted if the lifeguard
stand say they cannot say anything and they tell the Park Ranger or the Ocean Ridge
Police.
Vice Chair Pierce-Roe does not think it is up to the lifeguards to watch children in the
water, they have a lot of other things going on. She noted that in the past, there were
three people who worked at the beach, and they had a golf cart. She knows they have a
Ranger Program and stated that the Ocean Ridge Police do not have authority to go in
unless it is a criminal type thing. She asked why they can't hire at least one person
since they had three before; one person on a golf cart who can drive around to help.
She asked if they could have more types of security than lifeguards who should be
taking care of the beach and not worrying about dogs or anything else.
Mr. Fagan said he saw a Ranger on a golf cart going up and down the beach.
Chair Mondello asked if there are people in the parking lot.
Mr. Lazo stated during season there is a Park Ranger there from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.,
which is the busiest time, and the Rangers work from 5:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. They
started to look at money being generated from the Parking Program to put back into the
park for staffing, etc.
Vice Chair Pierce-Roe thought there should be some sort of security during regular
hours when the beach is open. It should be someone who can actually assist.
Mr. Lazo stated lifeguards do their job, which is guarding lives. Park Rangers and staff
are the ones patrolling.
IX. Items for the City Manager's Attention
Vice Chair Pierce-Roe asked if they should ask the City Manager if it is possible to have
someone who can be on the property during working hours.
Mr. Lazo stated they are trying to do that now. The money that comes back goes into
the General Fund, so they have started discussions about trying to make it an
Enterprise Fund, so they can utilize it.

Meeting Minutes - Recreation and Parks Advisory Board
Boynton Beach, Florida February 27, 2023
Vice Chair Pierce-Roe mentioned that perhaps the City of Boynton can push for
dredging. The tides were super high and low this weekend that people were running
ashore. Dredging is supposed to be done every seven to ten years and they are past
that time. This might be something that needs to be looked at sooner than later.
X. Future Agenda Items
Mr. Patterson suggested the Youth Summit.
XI. Next Meeting — March 27, 2023, at 6:30 p.m.
VII. Adjournment
With no further business to discuss, upon motion duly made and seconded, Chair
Mondello adjourned the meeting at 7:42 p.m.
