Consider approval to video tape pollce and flre emergencies In
Boynton Beach - Under Fire: South Florida's 911 Program (DLW
Productions, Inc.)
Per Fire Department Memorandum No. 94-30, the Police and Fire Departments
jointly requested the City Commission's approval for DLW Productions, Inc. to
videotape Police and Fire emergency incidents for airing on Channel 34's "Under
Fire: South Florida's 911". Both Fire Chief Jordan and Police Chief Dettman
have reviewed the proposal submitted by the producer and are satisfied that this
production will be in the best interest of the Police and Fire Departments.

Notion
Commissioner Walshak moved to approve Item II.C. Commissioner Katz seconded the
motion.
Vice Mayor Aguila advised that he will vote against this because he does not see
how this would be of any advantage to the City. He stated that during a police
or fire emergency, these people are charged up enough and the last thing they
need to be worried about is putting their best face forward because the camera
is rolling. He did not think they need the distraction of somebody taking
movies while they are on an emergency run.
Mayor Harmening agreed with Vice Mayor Aguila and added that the City would also
be exposing itself to a certain amount of liability. In addition, while they
are filming, if our Police or Fire Department should inadvertently make a mis-
take, the film will be subpoenaed and used against the City.
Fire Chief Floyd Jordan advised that he and Police Chief Thomas Dettman have
reviewed this request and had the same concerns that the Commission has
expressed. Chief Jordan stated that he and Chief Dettman are satisfied that
this would be an opportunity to present the Police Department and Fire
Department in a positive light. He stated that firefighters place their lives
and health at risk each day and he sees this as a positive opportunity to
showcase those efforts to the community. He said he contacted Palm Beach
County, who already has this agreement with Debra Wescott, President of DLW
Productions, Inc., and they are satisfied. Chief Jordan advised that the City
would have the opportunity to review any of the tapes prior to airing to assure
that no negative implications will occur.
Debra Wescott stated that prior to airing, she gives the agencies filmed the
opportunity to view the whole program in its entirety just as it would be aired.
If there is any problem at all, the show will be edited. However, she stated
that it has never been necessary to do any editing because everything is always
very positive in nature. She stated that when videotaping, certain things in
the City are highlighted to bring them out. She said she speaks with the people
in the City, as well as each department, to ask them what they would like
included in the script at the beginning of the show, and an introduction is done
to bring out important information that they might have. Ms. Wescott stated
that it is a very positive show and everyone filmed so far has not been incon-
venienced in any way and have been very satisfied.
Ms. Wescott stated that Lake Worth has suffered from a lot of bad publicity and
the Police Department had a very low morale. As a result of this show, their
morale went right to the ceiling.
From his experience with riding with Chief Dettman, Commissioner Katz stated
that the professionalism exhibited by the Police Department and Fire Department
is beyond belief and he felt it would behoove the City to show the community and
surrounding communities the top notch people that we have on the front lines of
the City.

MARCH 1, 1994
In response to Mayor Pro Tem Matson, Ms. Wescott advised that the first program
that aired was the Sheriff's Office. The second show was Palm Beach County Fire
Rescue, and the third was the Lake Worth Police Department. Footage has already
been shot of the Lake Worth Fire Department and the West Palm Beach Police and
Fire Departments. She is currently working with the City of Delray Beach and
the City of Riviera Beach, and is now initiating contact with Palm Beach Gardens
and Boca Raton. She also intends to be doing some work with North Palm Beach
Fire.
Commissioner Walshak agreed with Chief Jordan and said he takes a great deal of
pride in our Police and Fire Departments. He felt it would behoove the City to
let the general public know how good our Police and Fire Departments are.
Vice Mayor Aguila did not doubt that the Police Department is top notch;
however, he did not think this was the issue. He felt the way they behave and
act on a daily basis is where that positive light is displayed. He was con-
cerned about a nonemergency, untrained film crew tagging along on emergenices.
Ms. Wescott pointed out that one of her cameramen is also a certified fire-
fighter for the City of Lake Worth and that they are all professionals in the
field.
The motion carried 3-2. Mayor Harmening and Vice Mayor Aguila cast the
dissenting votes.
D, Authorization to proceed with Hamrlck Aerial Surveys, Inc, for aerial
photography and photogrammetrlcmapping services (bridge repairs)
Per Engineering Department Memorandum No. 94-058, quotes were obtained for
aerial photography and photogrammetric mapping services from several firms to
produce base maps of the eight bridge locations. These base maps are to serve
as base sheets for bridge repair plans, as a substitute for field surveying and
drafting. Plan details will be developed by standard methods. Of the quotes
listed in the memorandum, City Engineer James White requested approval to
proceed with this work using Hamrick Aerial Surveys, Inc. because this firm has
many years experience in aerial survey, mapping and photogrammetry, whereas the
other firms are primarily photographers.
Mayor Harmening asked the City Engineer to justify the need for an aerial photo-
graph.
Vice Mayor Aguila asked why a standard field survey is not done instead of an
aerial photograph.
City Engineer James White stated that an aerial photograph is a lower cost
alternative to field surveying and drafting base maps for construction drawings.
It costs a little over $200.00 for each of the nine sites. For $200.00, you
will not get very much drafting and surveying.
Vice Mayor Aguila asked if the information provided by an aerial would be as
accurate, as reliable, and as defendable as information received from a survey
-4-
HINUTE$ - REGULAR CITY C01~]:$$]:0N NEET:lNG
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORZDA
MARCH 1, 1994
crew. Mr. White stated that the accuracy would be more than sufficient for the
work anticipated. In Mr. White's opinion, there will be a great deal more
information on a photograph than on a field survey; however, a ground survey
would give higher accuracy.
Vice Mayor Aguila asked if Mr. White was concerned at all with any kind of
topographic elevations for this bridge repair. Mr. White did not see a need for
this information.
Vice Mayor Aguila asked if there is previous survey information on'the bridges.
Mr. White has been unable to find it. He pointed out that it is also important
to have current information.
Vice Mayor Aguila asked if Mr. White felt this is the most cost effective way to
do it while still providing the information needed to do the job. Mr. White
answered affirmatively.
Mayor Harmening questioned the need for a survey. He wondered if the location
of the bridge and the defects could be described in a few words so that anyone
bidding on the process of repair could understand it. Mr. White replied that
that would be one way to do it if you would rather let the constructor design
the improvements.
Vice Mayor Aguila cautioned against providing verbal information based on obser-
vation and not certified by a surveyor in case of a discrepancy or something
missing in the bid or at construction.
Vice Mayor Aguila asked about the nature of the repairs. Mr. White stated that
the nature of the repairs is outlined on the bridge inspection reports over the
last two years, which are commissioned by the Department of Transportation. The
things listed in those reports, including a number of things that have already
been done are deck drainage, guardrails, signs, crack repair, retaining wall
problems, etc.
Vice Mayor Aguila asked if an aerial would pick up that information. Mr. White
stated that the aerial will provide a base survey from which to illustrate what
improvements we want to construct and where. In addition, we would provide such
specific details as necessary.
Mayor Harmening could not imagine that an aerial photograph would show the
spalling on a bridge bent in the center of the bridge on 23rd Avenue. In addi-
tion, he was sure an aerial would not disclose the cracks in the deck on the
bridge that has been asphalted.
Vice Mayor Aguila asked Mr. White to explain the paragraph in the February 4,
1994 letter from Hamrick Aerial Surveys which states, "All vertical and/or
horizontal ground control, including field checks of finished mapping, as
required, will be furnished by your office." Mr. White advised that Hamrick
Aerial Surveys would photograph the site and send us contact prints. From those
prints we would mark the locations we want printed on the drawings; go to the
-5-
HINUTE$ - REGULAR CITY COHHISSION HEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
HARCH 1, 1994
field and provide horizontal control by identifying the objects clearly visible
on the photograph; field measure the distance between those objects; and mark
that on the prints. Then the mapper would print those photographs to a scale
that corresponds with those dimensions on the plan sheets.
Vice Mayor Aguila noted that the cost would be $2,200.00, plus extra costs based
on formats. Mr. White advised that the cost would be $2,200.00. He stated that
there is no need for any of the extras and that staff will produce an attractive
title block with the City's logo, signature blocks, etc.
Vice Mayor Aguila stated that for another $150.00, Hamrick Aerial Survey will
include the City as an additional insured. He asked if there is any reason why
we would not want the City as an additional insured. City Attorney Cherof felt
this would be a good expenditure of $150.00.
Commissioner Katz asked if the digital maps recently done for Utilities could be
used. Mr. White advised that these digital maps cover the areas east of I-g5
and the bridges are west of I-gs.
Commissioner Katz asked if this can be tied into the aerial mapping project (the
commercial area west of Congress Avenue) requested by Utilities. Mr. White
advised that the delivery date on that would be a couple of months later. In
addition, the deliverables under that contract do not include photographs.
Vice Mayor Aguila asked if the job could be done properly without a survey or an
aerial photograph. Mr. White advised that you could not illustrate the loca-
tions that you want accurately. He expressed concern about undertaking diffi-
cult construction activity without having a set of drawings.
Mayor Harmening asked if it would simpler to use Parsons Brinckerhoff Quade &
Douglas' report on the bridges; identify any new cracks or spalls and the loca-
tion of the bridge; and ask the potential bidder to submit a bid explaining the
method which he proposes to use to seal the cracks, the cost, and an alternate
method. Mr. White said that would be another approach to the problem.
In response to Vice Mayor Aguila, Mr. White advised that he and his staff would
prepare the bid documents.
Mayor Harmening pointed out that two thirds of the problems are on the bottom
side of the bridge and he did not think an aerial photograph would identify any-
thing on the bottom of the bridge.
Norton
Vice Mayor Aguila moved to deny this request. Mayor Pro Tem Matson seconded the
motion.
Commissioner Walshak pointed out that nobody on the dais is an engineer and, in
essence, the Commission is telling the City's professional engineer that he does
not know what he is talking about.

MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
MARCH 1, 1994
A roll call vote was polled by the City Clerk. The motion carried 3-2.
Commissioners Katz and Walshak cast the dissenting votes.
At this point in the meeting, Mayor Harmening moved up Item XI.A to II.F to
accommodate the residents of Citrus Glen.
E. Change Order No, 1 (Rockland Construction Comparky) - Boynton Lakes
Park (grade and sod lake shores)
Per Recreation and Parks Memorandum No. 94-076, it will cost $14,663.00 for
grading, sodding, and irrigating the homeowners association property adjacent
to Boynton Lakes Park. Gee & Jenson will charge $275.00 for redesign of the
irrigation system, and minimal materials will be required as lines and heads can
basically be relocated. This will bring the cost to $14,938.00. It is the
City's position that the homeowners association should pay for the sod, which
amounts to $3,348.00. Therefore, the City's cost for this project would be
$11,590.00, and fourteen days would be added to the contract completion time.
In addition, additional development costs for Boynton Lakes are anticipated due
to environmental analysis tests. Since this is not City property and not part
of the park project, Mr. Frederick recommended paying from undesignated C.I.P.
funds rather than from the Recreation & Park Trust Fund, if this project is
authorized by the City Commission.
Commissioner Katz did not think the City should spend close to $12,000.00 to
develop and improve private property.
Vice Mayor Aguila stated that it made sense for City staff to do the work since
they were there. However, he did not think it was going to cost very much and
was not sure it is correct expenditure of City money to develop private prop-
erty.
Mayor Pro Tem Matson stated that changing the direction of a couple of sprinkler
heads has turned into a major project, and it is not what the Commission wanted.
She stated that the Commission wanted the City to change the direction of a
couple of sprinkler heads and grade twenty feet while the equipment was up
there. She would like staff to bring back something both parties can live with.
Motion
Mayor Pro Tem Matson moved to strike this item from the agenda. Vice Mayor
Aguila seconded the motion.
Vice Mayor Aguila pointed out that the Rockland Construction Company is charging
for dozer travel and loader travel when they are already there.
The City Manager was directed to report back to the Commission.
The motion carried 5-0.

XX, OLD BUSINESS
A. Update on Citrus Glen Subdivision (public Improvements)
City Attorney Cherof reported that since the last City Commission meeting, he
had been in contact with the attorneys for the developer, Felix Granados, and a
meeting has been arranged for tomorrow at 3:00 P. M. at City Hall between the
developer, his attorney, and some of the officers of the.homeowners' association
and their attorney. City attorney Chereof advised that he spoke to the attorney
for the association this afternoon and all parties have agreed upon a tentative
agenda for that meeting. The agenda would include a checklist of some of the
problems that the homeowners have with the subdivision and their concerns
regarding the developer leaving that subdivision before the completion of those
improvements to their satisfaction.
Jonathan Dwork distributed a pamphlet, dated March 1, 1994, titled, "100% Pure
Citrus News". He stated that the City has backed down in the face of litigation
on things that the City has required the builder to do. He stated that
Mr. Granados sent a letter to the City, stating that Mr. Dwork was an unofficial
representative of the homeowners' association. Mr. Dwork stated that he
attended the February 1, 1994 meeting and is attending this meeting as a resi-
dent of Citrus Glen. Mr. Dwork stated that he has seen other cities go bankrupt
taking on liabilities by releasing builders from communities before they should.
He said he has seen allegations of friendships and working relationships and
that he has handed everything over to the news media. He stated that Citrus
Park was supposed to be buffered with lakes. They are now going to be buffered
with homes seven and a half feet away unless the City protects them. He advised
that people are still cut off from Fire Department access because Miner Road is
not complete. Mr. Dwork stated that he found documents indicating that members
of the City were falsely giving information to the Board of Directors, assuring
them that the bonds were safe and secure.
Mayor Harmening asked who in the City gave false information to the Board of
Directors. Mr. Dwork said he gave these letters to the media and that they can
be Obtained from the City Clerk's office or he will provide copies tomorrow.
Charlotte Silver, President of the newly elected Board, stated that Mr. Dwork
does not speak for the residents of Citrus Glen, and that any official statement
will come from somebody on the Board.
Herbert Buxbaum, who was elected to the Board of Directors, reiterated what was
said by Ms. Silver.
Mayor Harmening asked if the developer voted in the election of the Board of
Directors. Mr. Buxbaum advised that only the residents voted. He stated that
they have an attorney and an engineer and are trying to make the transition
smooth; however, Mr. Dwork is creating a lot of division within the subdivision.
Mayor Harmening advised that the City will do whatever it legally can within its
power to help the residents of Citrus Glen; however, it may take a while.
-8-
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMHISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
MARCH 1, 1994
William Perrone, a resident of Citrus Glen, stated that everybody just wants a
guaranty that certain things will be completed as promised, and that Mr. Dwork
is just trying to make sure this is done.
Mayor Harmening had no qualms about holding the developer's feet to the fire or
suing or being sued if he thinks he has a strong position, with the advice of
the City Attorney. He hoped that some of the problems will be resolved at the
meeting tomorrow.
Mr. Mobilio, a resident of Citrus Glen, asked if the residents of Citrus Glen
are allowed to attend the meeting tomorrow. City Attorney Cherof stated that by
agreement with the attorneys that represent both the developer and the home-
owners' association, it was agreed that participation would be limited to the
officers of the association, the developer, and their respective attorneys, who
will report back to their appropriate membership.
MAYOR HARMENING DECLARED A RECESS AT 7:30 P. M. THE MEETING RESUMED AT 7:33
P. M.
III, CONSENT AGENDA
Mayor Harmening stated that there are items on the Consent Agenda that should
not be on it. He directed staff not to put anything controversial on the
Consent Agenda in the future. Commissioner Walshak did not think it should be
up to staff to recognize a particular item as being controversial or not. Mayor
Harmening felt staff has a very good perception of what is controversial.
Motion
Mayor Pro Tem Matson moved to remove Item III.C.1 from the table. Commissioner
Katz seconded the motion, which carried 5-0.
Mayor Harmening removed Item III.C.6 from the Consent Agenda.

6. Proposed Resolution No, R94-35 Re: Boynton Beach Municipal
Cemetery Rules and Regulations
Mayor Harmening advised that he removed this item from the agenda because the
attorney for the Mausoleum would like to speak. In addition, Mayor Harmening
would like the word "metal" stricken from rule number 20.
Robert I. MacLaren, II, Attorney for the Mausoleum, stated that in 1978, the
City of Boynton Beach and the Boynton Beach Mausoleum entered into a contract
that provided the citizens with the option of above ground burial service. That
contract, in the last sixteen years of interpretation of it by the parties, has
defined the respective rights and duties of the parties relative to that rela-
tionship. Mr. MacLaren said there are certain items that are proposed here that
are inappropriate and violative of those respective rights.
Mr. MacLaren stated that the first sentence in rule number 15 is clearly
contrary to the practice that has been employed for the last sixteen years
because the Mausoleum has handled these matters directly. The attempted regula-
tion here will clearly impact the sales program. At the present time, it is
clear that pursuant to the contract, the Mausoleum can make this assurance to
someone. They will no longer be able to do that if this inappropriate provision
is adopted. Furthermore, that would cause it to be violative of the number of
contracts that are presently in existence with those people that have elected to
use the services of the Mausoleum.
Mr. MacLaren stated that the second sentence is also contrary to the specific
contractual agreement with each purchaser. What is being provided here is
- 12 -
HINUTES - REGULAR CITY COHHISSION HEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
HARCH 1, 1994
entombment rights. Once those rights are consumed, as provided specifically in
each contract, there is no further right to employ the emtombment right relative
to that unit. In addition, from a practical prospective, that is going to
impact the sales program and, therefore, the revenues produced for the City.
Mr. MacLaren was not certain of the thrust of rule number 16, but said it is
inappropriate if it violates any of the provisions of the contract.
Mr. MacLaren stated that rule number 17 appears to be some sort of a mandate
that the Mausoleum provide letters and emblems which clearly transcends the four
corners of the contract or any practice that the parties have employed over the
last sixteen year.
Mr. MarLaren was not certain what the thrust of rule number 19 is but~said that
there ought not be any modifications as a policy matter relative to the
Mausoleum.
With regard to rule number 20, Mr. MacLaren stated that there appears to be a
complete absence of any data dictating the need for this as a policy matter.
Relative to rule number 21, Mr. MacLaren stated that there is no provision in
the contract or the practice that has been in place for sixteen years that calls
for a purchaser to make any direct payments to the City. Consistent with the
practice employed and the contract, the Mausoleum provides the appropriate per-
centage to the City upon receipt of those funds.
With regard to rule number 23, Mr. MacLaren felt it was appropriate for anyone
to make any suggestion at any time, provided it will not violate the existing
terms of the contract.
City Attorney Cherof asked Mr. MacLaren to point out the provision of the
contract between the City and Boynton Beach Mausoleum, Inc. that gives Boynton
Beach Mausoleum, Inc. the right to establish the rules as opposed to the City
Commission. Mr. MacLaren stated that the contract, the thrust of the agreement,
and the interpretation that has been employed for sixteen years is that in the
property right of the Mausoleum is the right to establish sales related proce-
dures. Mr. MacLaren stated that the Mausoleum has made the investment. They
provide the appropriate sum to the City. The property right that the Mausoleum
receives is the sales procedure. They are the exclusive sales entity relative
to the Mausoleum.
In response to Vice Mayor Aguila, City Attorney Cherof advised that rule number
19 is there for consistency. This rule is found and has always been found and
treated that way under the general Cemetary rules. However, there has been some
suggestion that perhaps the Cemetery rules do not apply to the Mausoleum facili-
ties that are located within the Cemetery. This is intended to make it clear
that those same types of rules do apply and that these things are treated on a
consistent basis, which hopefully will enhance sales of those facilities as
opposed to deter them.

ConTnissioner Walshak assumed this proposed resolution has been prepared in the
City's best interests by the City Attorney. He suggested this item be tabled
until the two attorneys meet and bring back something that makes sense to all
parties involved.- Based on Mr. MacLaren's comments, City Attorney Cherof did
not think much disagreement exists. He stated that these rules are, like many
other types of rules, for general behavior, and that there will be exceptions to
them from time to time. To the extent that a rule would impact upon a contract
that has already been written and signed, City Attorney Cherof stated that he
would certainly want to look at whether the rule applied to that contract. He
stated that we would address these on a case by case basis after the adoption of
the rules.
In response to Commissioner Watshak, City Attorney Cherof felt this proposed
resolution is in the best interests of the City. He felt it requires the sales
program to conform itself to the rules, as opposed to having the City conform
the rules to the sales program.
Mr. MarLaren had no objection to meeting with City Attorney Cherof to find com-
mon ground. He said there may be items that City Attorney Cherof is not famil-
iar with, based on the sixteen years that his client has enjoyed this relation-
ship with the City.

Vice Mayor Aguila moved to strike the word "metal" from rule number 20 and table
this item pending the meeting of the City Attorney and the attorney for the
Mausoleum. Mayor Pro Tem Matson seconded the motion, which carried 5-0.
Proposed Resolution No, R94-36 Re: Authorize execution of one
year service contract and service agreement between the City of
Boynton Beach and Safety Kleen Corporation to clean automotive
parts, lawn mowers, and tractors at the Vehicle Service Division
and the Golf Course
Vice Mayor Aguila asked why this is not being bid. Carel Fisher of Public Works
explained that parts cleaning solvent was furnished by Safety Kleen. The
solvent is very detrimental to the environment, and instead of buying solvent
and paying for disposal, the City had an agreement with Safety Kleen, who would
supply the solvent and when soiled, clean out the machine and refill it with
clean solvent. As time progressed, other things became hazardous, such as
antifreeze and waste oil. The City used to sell its waste oil, but had to pay
for it to be picked up. When it was picked up, the City was liable if the truck
had a wreck and a spill occurred. Safety Kleen will collect the antifreeze and
waste oil and when they leave City property, they own it. Mr. Fisher advised
that oil filters now have to be recycled. Safety Kleen provides a complete
service package at the best economical rate the City could find. In addition,
Safety Kleen is licensed by the Federal government through the Interstate
Commerce Commission to transport hazardous waste without any drawbacks against
the City.

Proposed Resolu[lon No. R94-37 Re: Authorize execution of
agreement between the City of Boynton Beach and ARZ Builders,
Inc. reference construction of the East Ocean Avenue Improvement
Project (500 Block)
Vice Mayor Aguila asked what the bid was before it was adjusted and why was it
adjusted. City Manager Miller referred to Agenda Memorandum No. 93-355 and
stated that the contractor/bidder agreed to reduce the curbing by $1,330.00 and
the survey by $600.00. Therefore, the bid was reduced by $1,930.00.
No~lon
Vice Mayor Aguila moved approval of Item III.C.8. Commissioner Katz seconded
the motion.
Commissioner Walshak asked City Manager Miller to make sure this project starts
on April 1, 1994, as the Commission promised. City Manager Miller stated that
the contractor is ready. Once this is ratified and signed and the insurance and
bonds are in place, the contractor can begin.
Vice Mayor Aguila advised that the entire sidewalk has been ripped out at the
intersection of U. S. 1 and Ocean Avenue and that part of this work is within
the jurisdiction of this contract. City Manager Miller will investigate this
matter.
The motion carried 5-0.
Proposed Resolution No, R94-38 Re: Authorize execution of an
agreement between the City of Boynton Beach and Knollwood Groves
regarding the design and construction of Miner Road
Vice Mayor Aguila asked for a synopsis on the history of this project.
City Manager Miller distributed and reviewed a sketch of Miner Road. He advised
that the eastern one-third of Miner Road is complete.
City Manager Miller stated that the missing link one-third of the road is
referred to as the Glick PUD. This is a spinoff from the Sandalwood develop-
ment. They are vested because the major part of the development, which was
Sandalwood, has been built. The City accepted a bond from Glick in the amount
of $54,000.00 to cover the cost of the missing link; however, it is not enough.

NZNUTE$ - REGULAR CITY COI4NI$$ION HEETING

HARCH 1, 1994
In the draft agreement being presented to the Commission this evening, Glick is
proposing to deposit with the City $79,124.00 to be applied toward design and
construction costs of Miner Road.
City Manager Miller stated that the western one-third section of the road is
Citrus Glen. The drainage system has been constructed, but the road is not
usable. Through the settlement agreement that the City entered into, Mr.
Granados forwarded the City $110,200.00 to take care of this one-third section.
City Manager Miller advised that Knollwood is proposing to contribute to the
City the amount of $108,515.00. The contributions from Granados, Knollwood, and
Glick total $297,839.00 for the design and construction of this project.
City Manager Miller stated that based on discussions with Malavassi and Rossi,
if the missing link were constructed with three lanes, curb, gutter, and
sidewalk (one side), it would cost approximately $190,000.00. If the missing
link section were constructed with two lanes, curb, gutter, and sidewalk (one
side), it would cost approximately $170,000.00. This does not include costs for
engineering, design, survey and maps. Therefore, it could conceivably cost
about $400,000.00 to construct the missing link and western sections of the
road. Therefore, the scope of the work will have to be scaled down on this
project to two lanes with no sidewalk, curb or gutter.
City Manager Miller advised that Knollwood was approved in late 1989. One of
the conditions of approval was that Knollwood was to pay the sum of $760,000.00
to improve the roadway system in the area with specific improvements to be made
to Miner Road and Hypoluxo Road. That amount was to be equal to the money which
would be paid in road impact fees. The renewal on the PUD came due in August or
October of 1993.
Commissioner Walshak asked if Granados' $110,200.00 would cover the cost of
building the western one-third of the road. City Manager Miller advised it
would not. Commissioner Walshak asked why that amount was accepted. City
Manager Miller advised that at that time, the consulting engineer informed his
office that that money would provide a two lane road. Now we are looking at
three lanes with curb, gutter and sidewalk.
Mayor Harmening stated that there is no guaranty that if the City bids the road,
it can get a bid for $297,839.00.
Vice Mayor Aguila asked how Knollwood arrived at the $108,515.00. Anna Cottrell
explained that the cost estimates for the road construction were developed by
Gee & Jenson, the City's consulting engineers. That was determined to be the
full cost to construct the missing link. Knollwood's share of it was all of
that missing link, minus the $78,000.00 that was committed to by Glick;
$54,000.00 of which is already bonded. At Knollwood's request, Glick came up
with an additional $25,000.00 contribution in exchange for the City's support on
impact fee credits for the full amount.
Vice Mayor Aguila asked if it is the City's problem that the consulting engineer
gave poor advice and Knollwood is not successful in completing the missing link.

HINUTE$ - REGULAR CITY COMHI$$ION HEETiHG
BOYNTOH BEACH, FLORIDA
HARCH 1, 1994
Ms. Cottrell advised that this can continued to be discussed, with the recogni-
tion that Knollwood has absolutely no impact on Miner Road. When this approval
was done, Miner Road did not exist, except on the City's plans. No recognition
for impact fee credits would have been given by the County because it was not on
the thoroughfare plan. As part of the approval of Knollwood, the City also
requested that the County put Miner Road on the thoroughfare plan, therefore,
eligible to receive this money for construction.
Vice Mayor Aguila stated that the Knollwood Groves PUD has expired and the City
is in need of assuring the construction of Miner Road. Knowing that the City
has full support in completing this third link would go a long way to making him
feel comfortable that this is a worthy investment. Both Knollwood Groves and
the City would be getting something out of this.
Ms. Cottrell stated that this agreement that has been presented is a result of
discussions that occurred over a period of a year and a half. If there is a
problem now with the original cost estimates on which the proposed agreement was
based, Knollwood would be willing to go back to the table. Ms. Cottrell
suggested working with staff on this.
Commissioner Walshak asked if Knollwood would be willing to put more money into
this project to get it completed if the City can work along with the vesting.
Ms. Cottrell believed this was possible.
Motion
Commissioner Walshak moved to table this item to allow Knollwood Groves to work
with the City to see if they can come up with the additional money to build the
road. Mayor Pro Tem Matson seconded the motion.
Vice Mayor Aguila stated that he does not wish to take advantage of Knollwood
Groves' position and the fact they would like to keep their PUD alive. He has a
problem with some of the extensions the Commission has been giving in the past
few years with the excuse that the economy has been bad. He felt we are taking
advantage of our ability to provide extensions and shortchanging the citizens of
services that they would be provided ordinarily that they will not get once the
project is vested. He did not want to get this piece of road constructed by
taking advantage of Knollwood Groves; however, they are in a position, based on
their impact fees and the fact that Hypoluxo Road is no longer needed, to
transfer an adequate sum of money for Miner Road without feeling they are being
taken advantage of.
Mayor Harmening would rather see the City come up with the balance of the money.
He stated that there is nothing in the Code which says we can grant vesting.
They vest their interest in a PUD if they had a PUD which they do not. It has
expired and has not been extended. Mayor Harmening is not in favor of any more
extensions of PUDs. He pointed out that the Code only makes reference to one
extension, and as far as the development Code is concerned, the only way any-
thing can be vested is by performance. Mayor Harmening felt vesting the
Knollwood PUD for a sum of money is a dubious method of going about something.
He pointed out that the City might want to sue Gee & Jenson for malpractice.

taJU~CH 1, 1994
Commissioner Walshak stated that about one hundred lots have been sold or are on
the verge of being sold. If an extension is granted, we may see another hundred
homes on that property in the next one to three years, which affects the ad
valorem tax base of the City. He felt this should be taken into consideration
when deciding on whether or not to grant extensions. Furthermore, Knollwood is
trying to work with the City to solve this problem. Commissioner Walshak stated
that if the City could have built the road with its own money, it would have
done so. He said this road is a matter of life and death. The schools on
Lawrence Road need medical, fire, and police access. Commissioner Walshak
stated that Knollwood is making a legitimate effort to try to cooperate with the
City and he thinks we should extend the same courtesy to them.
The motion carried 4-1. Mayor Harmening cast the dissenting vote.

Per agenda memorandum from the Purchasing Department, the reason for the bid is

Western Waterproofing Company of America, Pompano Beach, Florida, in the total

receiving preapproval on material substitutions. Western Waterproofing Company
of America is the most responsive, responsible bidder meeting all required bid

Nike Smollon was present on behalf of the Boynton Beach Firefighters Local 1891.
He said this Union would like to strongly protest any attempt by any member of
the Commission or the administration to interfere with the firefighters' legal
ability to campaign for any candidate of their choice in the upcoming election.
Recently, the Union's Business Agent was contacted. Certain comments were made
concerning an activity that took place with one of the firefighters. This com-
missioner was acting on third-hand information and did not have the facts
correct. Mr. Smollon advised that he has spoken with City Manager Miller
regarding what the firefighters can and cannot do in terms of campaigning for
candidates. When they are off duty and not in uniform, they can exercise the
complete rights that any citizen of the United States enjoys.
City Manager Miller advised that Union T-shirts can be worn, but nothing can be
worn that says, "City of Boynton Beach".
Mr. Smollon asked for the Commission's approval of a T-shirt which the fire-
fighters wear when campaigning.
City Attorney Cherof advised that he is aware of this issue and assured the
Commission that he will communicate with the Union's counsel and clarify what
they can and cannot do under City rules and under their rights.

In response to Commissioner Walshak, City Attorney Cherof advised that the issue
is the right of a City employee in uniform or out of uniform to use their posi-
tion or to assert their position as a City employee while either promoting some-
body for a candidate or lobbying for a particular issue of public interest.
Their right to speak freely and to support their candidates has to be balanced
against the possibility of intimidation through the use of the uniform.
Mr. Smollon stated that according to the Civil Service Rules and Regulations, no
City employee or official shall use any promise of reward or threat to encourage
or contribute to any political issue, candidate or party. Approximately one
week ago when the members were told that a Commissioner was concerned with them
compaigning off duty, participation dropped by 50 percent during that week.
This could possibly have an affect on the outcome on the election.
City Attorney Cherof advised that the subject matter being engaged in is collec-
tive bargaining.
Ralph Marchese commended the Utilities Department for their excellent response
time one day last week relative to an incident with a storm sewer. Vice Mayor
Aguila thanked Mr. Marchese for taking the time to express his positive com-
ments, not only on this occasion, but on a number of other occasions in the
past.
Since expiration of their terms is nearing, Maurice Rosentock, 1 Villa Lane,
congratulated Mayor Pro Tem Matson and Commissioner Walshak for serving the

Discussion on Cemetery Board/Mausoleum
City Attorney Cherof suggested tabling a couple of the items he refers to in his
February 24, 1994 memo {Memorandum No. 94-24), including the adoption of the
Certificate of Ownership form referenced in the third paragraph of his memo.
Under Section 1 of his memo, he states that the Cemetery Board reviewed the
Trust that was created a long time ago and realized that notwithstanding the
creation of that Trust, the Trustees have never been formally appointed from
year to year to serve on that Trust. The Cemetery Board suggested that the mem-
bers of the Trust be changed to include all members of the Cemetery Board, plus
the Mayor and the City Manager. Mayor Harmening expressed his desire to leave
the Trust membership as is.
Motion
Vice Mayor Aguila moved to table Item X.C.2. Commissioner Katz seconded the
motion, which carried 5-0.
City Attorney Cherof stated that there is a provision in the Declaration of
Trust that permits the Board of Trustees to disburse to the City any money over
$2,000,000.00 in the Trust Fund. The Cemetery Board recommended that the
$2,000,000.00 threshold be increased to $10,000,000.00. The overage could be
used to offset operational costs. Some of the members of the Commission
expressed their disapproval of increasing that threshold to $10,000,000.00.
City Attorney Cherof had some suggestions for amending the Code to clarify the
duties and responsibilities of the Cemetery Board as it relates to the
Mausoleum. He will bring this back to the Commission after he has met with the
attorney for the Mausoleum.
3, Update on proposed graffiti ordinance
City Attorney Cherof advised that additional legal research into the liability
that parents have for their children's sins is needed. He will bring this back
