Mayor Pro Tem Matson moved to approve Change Order #2 for Contract I - West
Water Treatment Plant, in the amount of $6,951.06. Vice Mayor Aguila seconded
the motion, which carried unanimously.
D®
Change Order No, 7 (Poole & Kent C~any) - Contract II for the West
Water Teatment Plant (Buildings, Pump Systems, Tanks and Well
Equipment)
Vice Mayor Aguila said many of the items listed in Utilities Memorandum #94-017
are very clear but very technical. Some of the items listed appear to be the
result of errors and omissions by the design engineering firm. In such cases,
he questioned whether or not the City is paying only for the added value it is
receiving. Mr. Guidry confirmed that to be the case.
Vice Mayor Aguila also asked whether or not the City is getting any credit with
regard to Item #20 for material which is not being used since new material has
been selected. Jim McLellan, of Stanley Consultants, advised that the new
equipment is already on the site; therefore, there are no material costs, and
the cost for installation was reduced by the cost of putting in the original PVC
unit.
#o~ion
ViCe Mayor Aguila moved approval of Change Order #7 for Contract II - West Water
Plant, in the amount of $143,029.14. Mayor Pro Tem Matson seconded the motion,
which carried 5-0.
E. Extension of Construction Management Contract with Stanley Consult-
ants, Inc, - Addendum No, $ for the West Water Treatment Plant
Vice Mayor Aguila asked for clarification of this item. Mr. McLellan advised
that Stanley Consultants' contract with the City was amended to carry them
through the beginning of August, 1993. There is a provision in the contract to
bill on the costs, but Stanley has always chosen to negotiate a lump sum amount.
They negotiated with the Utilities Department for a lump sum through December
20, 1993. Mr. Guidry advised that completion was expected by that date.
Vice Mayor Aguila questioned why an office, computer and software were being
provided. Mr. Guidry advised that these items were supplied at the beginning of
the contract and they do not wish to change that at this point. Discussions
have been held about not supplying these things in the future. Mr. Guidry
recommended continuing this contract under the same conditions until March,
1994. Mr. Guidry will monitor this closely.
Motion
Vice Mayor Aguila moved approval of extension of construction management
contract with Stanley Consultants, Inc. - Addendum No. 6, as per the recommenda-
tion. Commissioner Walshak seconded the motion which carried 5-0.

F. Bus shelters for the Ctty's proposed mass transit routes
City Manager Miller recommended providing the bus shelters through private
means so as to keep the City away from all costs associated with the shelters.
If the private method is selected, the City's Zoning Code would have to be
amended to permit the shelters which would have advertising displayed on the
sides. City Manager Miller also requested direction on whether or not to
proceed through a formal Request for Proposals or Request for Qualifications.
If the prviate means is selected, the City will not expend any funds. The City
would accept a proposal whereby the company would install the shelters in
designated areas throughout the City. The Company would handle the advertising
and maintenance, and the City would receive up to 10% of the gross advertising
receipts. Mr. Miller advised that there are approximately six (6) private
companies in South Florida involved with bus shelters.
Commissioner Katz asked how long the installation of the shelters would be
delayed if the City goes out for RFPs. Mr. Miller advised that process takes
several months and it could delay the installation of the shelters.
In response to a question from Commissioner Walshak, Mr. Miller advised that
the City Attorney has determined that since the City is not expending any money,
City Manager Miller do the negotiations. Commissioner Walshak feels the Phoenix
proposal looks very good.
Commissioner Katz feels City Manager Miller should negotiate with other firms
before this project is given to Phoenix.
In reviewing the Phoenix proposal, Vice Mayor Aguila said he found that they
reference the Southern Building Code when they should have referenced the
Standard Building Code. Under "Advertising", he recommended that they be per-
mitted to have exclusive rights to advertise as long as they follow some means
of good taste. He wants the City to have a say in that matter. Mr. Miller said
wording can be included to achieve that.
Vice Mayor Aguila asked that the second paragraph under "Advertising" be changed
to read, "The Company shall maintain a standard of good taste in all advertising
placed, and shall conform with all applicable ordinances".
Vice Mayor Aguila also recommended that the City have the final say as to where
the shelters are to be placed within the City. City Manager Miller will have
that added.
Mayor Pro Tem Matson asked the City Attorney if the City can restrict the types
of advertising. City Attorney Cherof feels the City is wide open with respect
to what can be negotiated. Mayor Harmening also pointed out that the company
should not be so restricted that it will be scared away.
Commissioner Walshak confirmed that City Manager Miller will negotiate with the
top firms and bring a recommendation back to the City Commission.

G. Proposal for test and balance for the HVAC System In the Clty Hall
Cemplex
City Manager Miller reported that Mr. Baker of Smith Seckman Reid, Inc. has
advised that the documents are ready for bid. There is a need for design and
actual field measure data for inclusion in the specification documents. A test
and balance is needed on the Complex. He requested authorization to accept the
proposal from Palm Beach Test and Balancing, Inc.
Notion
Vice Mayor Aguila moved approval to award to Palm Beach Test & Balancing, Inc.,
in an amount not to exceed $9,800. Mayor Pro Tem Matson seconded the motion
which carried 5-0. '
H. Boynton Lakes Park
City Manager Miller distributed photos which depicted the conditions discovered
at this site. A considerable amount of debris has been uncovered. Several
engineering and testing firms have observed the site, and although they do not
see anything resembling hazardous material, the City recommends an enhanced
Phase I assessment which includes soil and water tests and a report confirming
that there are no contamination sources on the site. City Manager Miller ob-
tained several proposals prior to this meeting. They are from Nutting Engineers
of Florida in the amount of $4,515, PSI in the amount of $5,700, and Universal
in the amount of $3,370. Universal must still present an additional phase.
In response to Mayor Pro Tem Matson's question, Mr. DeBeck advised that this
assessment will cover the soil testing and monitoring of wells. The City is
proposing three monitoring wells be drilled and three soil borings be taken.
Commissioner Walshak questioned whether any buildings are proposed to be built.
Mr. DeBeck advised that a small gazebo is proposed, but that site was excavated
down to clean soil.
Mayor Pro Tem Matson said she reviewed memos wherein staff reported that people
were digging a trench and burying debris years ago. She wondered if the City
had an recourse with the developer. Mayor Harmening said this situation is a
standard practice in the industry.
City Manager Miller advised that the funding for this project is available in
contingency funds or the CIP account. There is a contingency of approximately
5% {$50,000} between the two parks.
Notion
Vice Mayor Aguila moved to authorize the City Manager to pursue an environmental
assessment expenditure up to $5,000, and keep the City Commission informed.
Commissioner Walshak seconded the motion which carried 5-0.
Mayor Pro Tem Matson advised that a letter was sent to City Manager Miller
requesting that the 20' strip along the lake be graded and the homeowners' as-
sociation would pay for the sod and maintain it.

MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
FEBRUARY 1, 1994
Mayor Pro Tem Matson questioned whether the sprinkler heads could be changed
rather than extending the irrigation system. Mr. DeBeck explained that a fence
runs along the center of the berm adjacent to the landscape area. The irriga-
tion must be redesigned, heads will be changed and there may be a need to
increase the size of some of the lines. The contractor will have to go over the
berm which is already completed in order to dump additional soil.
Vice Mayor Aguila did not feel this was an unreasonable request and it will help
the City and the neighborhood at a minor expense to the City.
Motion
Mayor Pro Tem Matson moved to grade the 20' perimeter of the lake at Boynton
Lakes Park and extend the irrigation with the stipulation that the community
will do its own sodding and maintaining. Commissioner Walshak seconded the
motion, which carried 5-0.

S-363. That contractor agreed to honor the price on the small repair if
additional work was authorized to offset his mobilization cost. The Utilities
Department has identified an additional 1,008 feet of piping which requires
lining in the area of NE 22nd Avenue.
Funds for this project were budgeted in the 1993/94 Sewer Collection Division
Account No. 421-000-0-691-21, CIP SWR 64.

Proposed Resolution No, R94-20 Re: Ratification of contract for
FY 1993/94 between the City of Boynton Beach and the Police
Benevolent Association {Police Officers}
Attorney Cherof advised that the City Commission is now at the final step of the
impasse resolution process. The City Commission resolved the impasse issues at
the last meeting. A contract was prepared and signed off on by the City Manager
and a representative of the Union. It was submitted to the Union membership on
January 26, 1994, and it was unanimously rejected.
Statute provides that in the event either party fails to ratify the contract, it
is deemed imposed upon for the balance of the fiscal year. The Commission does
have a duty, under the Statute, to consider the contract and either accept or
reject it.

FEBRUARY 1, 1994
Commissioner Katz reminded the Commission that two Resolutions were recently
ratified for the Sergeants and Lieutenants which provided them with a $1,000
plainclothes allowance per year. He felt all of the employees should be treated
fairly and these lower paid employees should not be given a lesser plainclothes
allowance. He recommended increasing the allowance to $1,000. He pointed out
that a great deal of money is spent throughout the City on many projects, but
when it comes to the Police, the City Commission turns its back on them.
Notlon
Commissioner Katz moved to increase the plainclothes allowance to $1,000. Com-
missioner Walshak seconded the motion.
Attorney Cherof advised that the motion was out of order since the only authori-
zation permitted is either to accept or reject the contract. The Commission can
address the clothing issue by amending the contract through a Letter or Agree-
ment with the bargaining unit. Commissioner Katz' motion can be for authoriza-
tion to prepare a Letter of Understanding which would come back to the
Commission for review.
Commissioner Katz withdrew the motion.
Commissioner Walshak wondered why it would be out of order to make such a change
since the discussion deals directly with the contract to be ratified. Attorney
Cherof advised that the format of the contract and its contents has already been
resolved, reduced to writing and voted on by the Union membership. The Statute
does not permit renegotiating in public.
Leon Tr&ylor reminded the Commission of his appearance on January 18th when he
asked the Commission for a clarification of the contract wording. When the City
Attorney changed the wording of the contract, the Officers were frozen back to
1991/92. On advice of counsel, the membership decided not to ratify because the
wording was not returned to its original form.
Vice Mayor Aguila noted that Page 58 of the contract states the duration of the
contract is from October 1, 1993 through September 30, 1994, but Page 14 has an
effective date of September 30, 1993. City Manager Miller advised that
September 30th was the beginning of the pay period. This was done for all other
employees.
Motion
Vice Mayor Aguila moved that we ratify the contract as presented this evening.
Mayor Harmening passed the gavel and seconded the motion. The motion failed
2-3. (Mayor Pro Tem Matson, and Commissioners Walshak and Katz cast the
dissenting votes.)

Commissioner Katz moved to increase the plainclothes allowance from $600 to

Shlela Reese, 2555 North Swlnton~ ~elra~ Beach, represented the Atlantic High
School Eaglettes who have competed in local, State, national and international
drill championships. They have represented both Delray Beach and Boynton Beach
at parades and civic functions and won many awards in areas of jazz, ballet,
tap, novelty and prop. Ms. Reese explained that the Eaglettes need funds
amounting to $30,000 for competition this year. They have raised $15,000 and
requested the City of Boynton Beach grant $2,500 toward their goal.
Derle Bailey, resident of Golfview Harbour, owns a business on Ocean Avenue. He
spoke about the increasing problem of grafitti within the City. He circulated
photos of areas obliterated by grafitti. He pointed out that this problem is a
gang-related issue. He said Dade County has an Ordinance in place which prohi-
bits the possession of spray paints under certain conditions, and he suggested
the City of Boynton Beach consider initiating such action.
Vice Mayor Aguila advised Mr. Bailey of the importance of contacting the City
every time grafitti is found. The City wants to stay on top of this situation
and the Police investigate to record the signatures of these vandals.
Mr. Bailey also suggested that the City require the property owners to do
something about the grafitti within a certain period of time.
Mayor Pro Tem Matson advised that a Gang Workshop was conducted recently, but it
was poorly attended. Another workshop will probably be held in the future. At
that time, flyers will be sent to the homeowners' associations so that residents
can participate to learn more about this problem and how it is being handled.
Mr. Bailey said the gang formerly known as "EDK" is now known as "Deuce".
Bob Borovy, 2521SW 11th Street, Golfview Harbour, said he would be glad to
a-'~ist the City bTpublishing inf~-F-ma-~-{'6~ in the monthly newsletter in his

Mayor Harmening advised that he received a request to move up Item IX-F. There
was no objection from the Commission.

E. Unauthorized asphalt overla~ within publlc rlght$-of-weky - Con$1der
objections fr~n Ben Dem~11ne and $tanle~ Pallvoda (SE 315t Avenue)
Commissioner Walshak requested that Item IX-New Business, 1-Stipulation
Agreements be moved up in conjunction with the item. At this point in the
meeting, the Commission decided to deal with Item E and then return to the
regular order of the Agenda.
Vince Finizio said this item involves two residents, Ben Demaline of 112 SE 31st
Avenue and Stan Palivoda of 110 SE 31st Avenue. Recently, the Public Works
Department contacted Engineering regarding an ongoing paving operation in the
right-of-way. The call was transferred to Code Enforcement. Both owners were
cited for construction within the right-of-way without a permit.
When Messrs. Demaline and Palivoda purchased their property, there was an
existing paved swale area. In attempting to comply with the City Codes
regarding maintaining the property to the centerline of the road, they paved the
swale when it began to deteriorate. They spent considerable money and did the
work themselves. There is no drainage problem in the area because they are
situated at the highest elevation in the community. They are requesting the
City Commission to provide authorization to the City Engineer's Office to issue
the right-of-way permits.
Discussion ensued and it was confirmed for the Commission that the paved swale
existed when the owners purchased the property. Vice Mayor Aguila does not have
a problem with authorizing the issuance of a permit, however, since the property
owners now know this is not allowed within the City, when the swale deteriorates
again and action is required, it must be sodded and swaled.
Commissioner Walshak explained that this situation could be handled administra-
tively with a Stipulation Agreement. These properties are 35,000 feet above sea
level. There is no drainage problem in this area and these paved swales have
not created any drainage problems for any of the surrounding neighbors. Commis-
sioner Walshak feels the City Manager could have handled this issue by entering
into a Stipulation Agreement with the homeowners. That Agreement would state
the normal procedures and the fact that the homeowners would not be permitted to
pave these areas again in the future. After signing the Agreement, the City
would then leave them alone. Commissioner Walshak asked that the Commission
consider giving the City Manager the authority to enter into these Stipulation
Agreements on such matters.
Mayor Pro Tem Matson questioned what would happen when the next ethics complaint
regarding waiving of a permit is lodged. City Manager Miller advised that the
City is not interested in waiving a permit. In the past, there have been inci-
dents where the Commission has ordered the swale to be dug out and sodded.

HINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION HEETIHG
B(JYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
FEBRUARY 1, 1994
Mayor Harmening pointed out that allowing this in this case might be fine.
However, in the future, other residents may wish to do the same thing and paving
the swale usually creates a flooding problem.
Commissioner Walshak feels a Stipulation Agreement could include a notice
that if a drainage problem is created, that homeowner must remove the paving at
his own expense. Vice Mayor Aguila again stated that he does not have a problem
with this particular case. If the City Attorney can provide the proper language
which would not make the Commission seem arbitrary and capricious, he would sup-
port it.
With regard to the Stipulation Agreement, he feels that suggestion has merit,
but he has a problem with the limitations. He would like to wait on a decision
until he sees the wording of the Agreement. Mayor Pro Tem Matson would like to
see how the Stipulation Agreement relates to permits.
Attorney Cherof feels it will be difficult to write something which will not
appear capricious or arbitrary, but he will prepare a draft for the next
meeting.
Commissioner Katz feels the distinct difference between these cases and others
that had to be returned to the sodded state is that these swales were already
paved over. He does not believe these swales will ever be dug out and sodded
because if the present property owners, or future property owners cannot pay to
keep them in good condition, they will deteriorate because no one will pay
$3,000 or $4,000 to dig them out and put in sod. Mayor Harmening pointed out
that the City has required a number of people to dig out the swale areas and
resod them.
Hotlon
Commissioner Walshak moved that if the property owners will stipulate that in
the future it becomes necessary to remove the swales at the discretion of the
City, they will do so at their own expense. Vice Mayor Aguila seconded the
motion.
Vice Mayor Aguila asked for clarification on whether or not the motion implies
that they are not able to repair the pavement in any way when it reaches the
point of needing repair. Commissioner Walshak replied negatively and clarified
that if, at the discretion of the City the swale becomes a problem in the near
future and the City wants the homeowner to remove, the homeowner will do so at
his own expense.
Start P&11vod& explained that the only thing he has ever done to this area is

Exception to Platting: Request to subdivide Carney
Bank from the Boynton Beach Promenade parcel without
platting
Motion
Mayor Pro Tem Matson moved to remove this from the table. Vice Mayor Aguila
seconded the motion, which carried 5-0.
Tambri Heyden made the presentation and reminded the Con~nission that this item
was tabled so that staff could work out some of the problems which have arisen.
Ms. Heyden explained that the parcel boundaries, as recorded, do not meet the
setback requirements and there are unique problems with maintenance. The parcel
is part of a previously-approved shopping center which had the building as a
leased-out parcel. It was designed as a unit with the infrastructure serving
all of the out buildings and main structure. Since the parcel has been carved
out, the infrastructure crosses the parcel boundaries.
The City Attorney, City Manager and staff have discussed the problems and no
consensus has been reached regarding how the zoning, functioning and maintenance
of this common infrastructure is impacted by the waiver of plat. Ms. Heyden
said the Commission's action on this request will indicate to staff how they
would like outparcels to be treated.
She pointed out that there has been an increase in the number of exceptions
received. The reasons for that are as follows:
platting is expensive and time consuming. It takes about
three to four months for processing as compared to exception
processing which takes approximately four to six weeks; and
2. the outparcels are not permitted their own freestanding signs;
however, platted outparcels are.
Historically, subdivided outparcels which were approved as part of the center
had been required to meet all zoning and parking requirements independently.
change in this philosophy would encourage subdivision of more outparcels in a
center.

Staff has also discussed whether or not the City should be responsible for doing
cross-access agreements. The City was requiring them when an outparcel had to
rely on the main center for access to their parcel.
Staff recommends approval subject to staff conditions stated in Utilities
Department Memorandum No. 93-534 and Planning and Zoning Department Memorandum
dated January 7, 1994, and if they are to be imposed, the comments would require
that the parcel boundaries be reconfigured to meet the zoning and parking
requirements.
Vice Mayor Aguila questioned how staff could write a memorandum full of so many
cautions and still recommend approval. Ms. Heyden explained that with the
recommendation, staff recognizes that exceptions to platting are a viable means
of platting outparcels. However, they believe the zoning and parking require-
ments should be met.
Vice Mayor Aguila feels Boynton Beach has too many outparcels and would support
any legislation to stop them entirely. Further, he will not support any outpar-
cel which comes forward without standing fully on its own.
Mayor Harmening pointed out that this has already been recorded. It subdivided
without going through the City's processes. It was done when the Olive Garden
went through the process. As a condition of that approval, a cross-access
agreement was required to be turned in. That agreement was submitted two months
ago and it was noted that the Carney Bank had been subdivided.
Mayor Harmening agreed that outparcels should be handled differently than they
have been handled. Approximately three waivers of plat have been approved by
the Commission recently.
Vice Mayor Aguila questioned how this property can meet the parking and setback
requirements. Ms. Heyden said the legal description was overlayed on the last
site plan on record. It appears that the rear setbacks are approximately 2'
short. In looking at the south boundaries, it appears the outparcel was created
without recognition of the underlying parking areas and access isles. Vice
Mayor Aguila asked if the property line could be reconfigured. Mayor Harmening
said an amended tract can be filed.
In response to Vice Mayor Aguila's question, Ms. Heyden said that if this is
reconfigured, the remaining issues are lighting, irrigation, and utilities.
Mayor Harmening pOinted out that there is a potential for conflict in any of
these areas.
Maurtce Rosenstock feels no request should come before the Commission if it can-
not comply with the regulations.
Notion
Vice Mayor Aguila moved approval subject to all staff conditions. Commissioner
Walshak seconded the motion.
Commissioner Walshak said that although the City has laws and the applicant
should be made to comply, common sense must be interjected. If the applicant's

feet are held to the fire and they decided they cannot do it, they will walk
away and the City will be left with an empty building which will not be main-
tained and will be of no use to anyone. This is a Catch-22 situation for the
City.
The motion carried 5-0.
Mr. Rosenstock pointed out that this request was approved with a freestanding
sign.
G. Consider request submitted by Watermark Group, Inc, (Citrus Park,
PUD) reference Recreational Fee Credit Issue
Vince Finizio said that on subdivision of platting, the City Codes require a
developer to provide dedicated land for a park, give a fee in lieu of a land
dedication or, in some cases, that he construct five approved amenities. If he
constructs the five amenities, the developer can get half credit on his fee.
The developer is not sure of the marketing stance his company will take relative
to this subdivision. Mayor Harmening realized that the developer's request is
for a guarantee up front that he will get half his money back if he decides to
build recreation on site. Mr. Finizio said the developer is willing to pay the
entire fee up front in order to comply with Codes.
City Manager Miller referred to Recreation & Park Memorandum #94-031 which
states conditions and comments from Mr. Frederick. Commissioner Katz disagrees
with Mr. Frederick's comment #2 and suggests the City take the cash up front and
use it as a bargaining chip.
Motion
Vice Mayor Aguila moved approval. Mayor Pro Tem Matson seconded the motion.

D. Discussion regarding Citrus Glen
Commissioner Walshak said that on August 26, 1993, a special City Commission
meeting was conducted. In researching his records, he could not find any indi-
cation that he was ever advised of the meeting. He and Vice Mayor Aguila were
absent from that meeting. The City Clerk stated there was no indication that
either he or Vice Mayor Aguila were contacted.
That meeting dealt with the fact that a signed Stipulation Agreement ended the
lawsuit with the developers of Citrus Glen and the dropping of a counter claim
between Citrus Glen and the City. The Stipulation Agreement released $276,000
- 16 -
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
FEBRUARY 1, 1994
worth of bonds. Of that amount, $156,000 was earmarked for the developer's por-
tion of Miner Road. There was additional money in a second bond covering street
lighting inside the development and a portion of another bond covering drainage
and swales in the community.
At the special meeting, all the bonds were released through the Agreement. By
signing the Agreement, the City got back $110,000 in cash as a contribution
toward the building of Miner Road. The balance of the bonds were to protect the
property owners at close out of the project.
Riding through the community, Commissioner Walshak discovered problems with
drainage. When the roads were built, both lifts were put on rather than one.
There are broken curbs. Commissioner Walshak feels the City needs a guarantee
that all of these items will be taken care of. He also feels the property
owners need a guarantee.
Attorney Cherof advised that the City Codes provide a process for reviewing the
work that has been done and a certification by the engineer that the work has
been done in accordanCe with the plans. In 1992, the City built in a second
safety net which requires a one-year guarantee period, to be bonded to insure
the workmanship and functional ability of the improvements once accepted by the
City.
Attorney Cherof recommended that the City Engineer write to the developer to
request the status of the Certificate of Completion. When that is reviewed, the
City will know the status of the work already done, and a decision can be made
on the amount of the bond to be required. The City can withhold the issuance of
permits and Certificates of Occupancy until it is satisfied. Although that may
hurt the consumer as well as the developer, it is a means to get the attention
of the developer.
Commissioner Walshak wants the City Manager and City Attorney to be aware of the
things that must be done. He does not want any potential taxpayers hurt in the
process, but he wants to make sure the City and the property owners are pro-
tected.
Attorney Cherof recommended that projects such as this be monitored by the
Engineering Department. The degree of completion of the improvements should be
noted and reported. Commissioner Walshak feels the City Attorney and City
Manager should check with Engineering before releasing any bonds. He said he
has not seen one Engineering Department memorandum which agreed with the release
of those bonds.
City Attorney Cherof advised that the agreements were circulated to the
appropriate departments prior to the Stipulation coming before the Commission.
If the departments missed that in their review, then that issue should be
addressed.

1. $tlpulatlonAgreements
Although this was discussed earlier, Commissioner Walshak reiterated his
suggestion that the City Manager be provided with authorization to enter into
Stipulation Agreements.
2. Median proposal for Congress Avenue between L-30 Canal and
Boynton Beach Boulevard
Commissioner Walshak advised that money can be secured from the County to have
some of the medians completed in this area.
City Manager Miller advised that he met with Hank Skakowski of Urban Design
Studios who will provide a proposal relative to elevations for the landscape
medians and a basic design. There are fourteen medians involved.
ViCe Mayor Aguila questioned why no other firms are providing proposals and
Commissioner Walshak asked why this work could not be done in-house. City
Manager Miller advised that the in-house plans were done in 1989, and an eleva-
tion is now required in order to secure grant money from the County. Vice Mayor
Aguila did not feel the project should be done in-house. Mayor Harmening was
not convinced elevations were necessary.
Vice Mayor Aguila felt other firms should be given the opportunity to provide
proposals. City Manager Miller said he was concerned with the time factor.
Also, Urban Design Studios is under the City's contract with Lawson & Noble.
Mayor Harmening suggested one elevation be provided. City Manager Miller
advised that he only wants one elevation. He will keep this project at a low
cost. A typical design will be provided.
Vice Mayor Aguila reminded the Commission that this is the reason why he felt
the City should have a prearranged agreement with a landscape architect.

City Manager Miller stated he is interested in setting certain thresholds, side
setbacks, etc.. He is opposed to saying "no permits" and then having someone
erect play equipment similar to the equipment at McDonald's or Burger King.
Mayor Harmening stated that no tree houses are to be allowed.
Commissioner Walshak said he asked about this request and was told the apparatus
referred to is huge, and has awnings over it. The Building Official was con-
cerned about the hazard such equipment might present in a wind storm.
Attorney Cherof advised that this is being presented because under the Code
definition of a structure, this equipment would be considered a structure.
Building Official needs direction from a policy.
The
Mayor Harmening explained that it is conceivable someone might bring forth a
request to construct the kind of play apparatus which requires a permit. Using
his best discretion, the Building Official should be able to make a determina-
tion on whether or not a permit is required.
D. Cemetery Board and Mausoleum Control Issue
Attorney Cherof advised that during the last few Cemetery Board meetings, legal
questions have been raised regarding the Mausoleum construction, Mausoleum
resales, sealed casket requirements, the Mausoleum crypt capacity and the Trust
Agreement. Attorney Cherof has reviewed these issues and his research shows
that the City would be brought into direct conflict with the developer of the
Mausoleum. He feels a joint workshop meeting is necessary to discuss these
issues.
A decision was made to hold this meeting in conjunction with the special meeting
set for Tuesday, February 8, 1994 at 6:00 p.m.
XI. OLD BUSINESS
A. Review of Boat Canopy and Shelter Study
City Manager Miller advised that Planning and Zoning Memorandum No. 94-031 was
quite comprehensive. Rather than review the memorandum, Vice Mayor Aguila asked
for a brief explanation on why the City should not allow coverings over docks.
Mayor Harmening explained that people pay a great deal of money for a waterfront
view and such a structure would destroy the line of sight of neighbors. City
Manager Miller said the Mayor's explanation was one reason why Fort Lauderdale
did not adopt an Ordinance allowing this construction.
Attorney Cherof said that another issue in Fort Lauderdale was that these struc-
tures deteriorate a great deal quicker than the house because of their exposure
to the elements. Vice Mayor Aguila agreed, but felt people with pride in their
property would not allow the structure to get in a state of disrepair. Since he
agrees with the line of sight issue, he would add a stipulation that the side
setbacks of the canopy structure not be less than what was required on the main
structure. He would also support having a pipe or wood structure for a canvas
awning which is open on all four sides. He would also suggest that the canvas
awning be no larger than two-thirds the full size of the width of the dock.
- 20 -
HZNUTE$ - REGULAR CITY COHHI$SION HEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
FEBRUARY 1, 1994
Mayor Harmening pointed out that awnings create wind hazards. Also, the canvas
deteriorates rapidly depending on the color and the quality of the canvas. It
then becomes unsightly.
Ho~lon
Vice Mayor Aguila moved that the City Attorney put together an Ordinance for our
review taking into consideration some of the things I mentioned and any other
elements of good judgment that would protect the residents, neighbors and City
and allow the property owner to enjoy his property to his financial ability.
Commissioner Walshak seconded the motion.
Mayor Pro Tem Matson asked how Lake Worth Drainage District will be considered
since they do not allow anything along the canals. Vice Mayor Aguila said that
issue would be between the property owner and Lake Worth Drainage District. She
questioned what would happen if the property owner tried to get a permit in the
City without getting a permit from Lake Worth Drainage District. Vice Mayor
Aguila explained that as a standard practice, the City will not release a permit
unless all other permits are submitted.
In response to a question from Mayor Harmening, Vice Mayor Aguila feels the
canopies should be limited to pipe and canvas, open on all four sides. He will
only support it if it is open on all four sides.
The motion carried 4-1. (Mayor Harmening cast the dissenting vote.)
B. Proposed master plan for the old Wastewater Treatment Plant $1te
City Manager Miller explained that the plan presented was a rough plan from an
old conceptual plan. He explained the uses and proposed locations for the site
as follows:
1. The existing Administration Building will be for police/fire
training. At present, that facility is being used for storage.
e
A Warehouse/Storage Building will be erected immediately
adjacent, and east of the Administration Building. It is
anticipated that the Warehouse/Storage Building will be a
maximum of 10,000 square feet.
3. Four storage bins are proposed to the north. They will be
used for rock, mulch, soil and red clay for the ball fields.
®
The middle area where the tower and lift station are located
will be screened off to house the dumpsters, containers and
roll-offs. There will be access from several points. Some
of the palms from that area will be transplanted. The
dumpsters will not be obvious from 1-95 or the residential
areas.
The drive will be concentrated off Northwest 5th Street. It
provides an easier access and the residents will be less af-
fected by it. The east access will be utilized for emergency
purposes only.

The nursery will be left as is, and the northeast section
is reserved for future needs;
It was confirmed for Commissioner Walshak that the running track is a one-half
mile track. The obstacle course will have from twenty-eight to thirty-two sta-
tions. The middle area will be left open for athletic events and other train-
ing. City Manager Miller advised that the obstacle course could be worked on
half the area.
In response to Commissioner Walshak's question, City Manager Miller stated this
facility will be available to other members of the City, and not only Police and
Fire.
A fire repelling tower is proposed.
Bill Gulbrandsen advised that one of the problems with the tower at South Tech
is that it is a regional testing site, and it is in use by all fire service
agencies in Palm Beach County. The tower is the property of the School Board.
Time must be scheduled to compete with the other agencies. The tower is small
and its location is a concern to the citizens and the School Board administra-
tion. The School Board recognizes the fact that the tower is not serving the
needs of the area.
A committee of the Police and Fire Departments has met and looked at state-of-
the-art fire towers. One was found in Coral Springs. It is 45' in height with
four internal levels and a fifth level with a parapet wall. It was built at a
cost of approximately $121,000. In discussions with the project manager of that
project, Mr. Gulbrandsen learned that a similar tower could be built today for
approximately $120,000. If this tower were built in the City of Boynton Beach,
it could be shared between the Police and Fire Departments and cooperative
agreements could be reached with other fire agencies and police agencies.
With the Commission's approval, the subject of funding could be investigated
further. If it is possible to get three municipalities to buy into this program
with $10,000 each and the City contributes $30,000 (either through donations or
other means), it would be possible to get an additional $60,000 in matching
grant funds from the Law Enforcement Trust Fund.
The tower would serve the needs of the Police and Fire Departments. There have
been discussions about vertical training. This tower would permit that type of
training.
In response to a question from Mayor Pro Tem Matson, Mr. Gulbrandsen said the
tower contains an anteroom which is the burn room. Fires are started in that
room which contains a smoke furnace. That smoke furnace allows the smoke to be
directed. No large fires will be set, but smoke is pumped into the different
levels.
Ron Panucci said this tower would benefit the Police Department Training Unit
and S.W.A.T. The tower provides an opportunity' to practice elevated rescues and
hostage rescues with a stairway environment. The Police Department is doing
training which had never been heard of and facilities which allow the con-
tinuance of this training are necessary. He urged support of this tower.
- 22 -
HI'UTES - REGULAR 'CITY COI414IS$IOH HEETIHG

FEBRUARY 1, 1994
Mayor Pro Tem Matson feels this tower stands on its own merit with only the Fire
Department's use of it. The~fact that the Police Department can utilize it is
an added feature. Mr. Panucci said the Police Department intends to create mock
tragedies at this site in the future and anticipates participation from other
City departments. This facility will provide many opportunities.
Mr. Gulbrandsen advised that the Fire Chiefs' Association of Palm Beach County
recognizes the need for this tower. With Commission approval, Mr. Gulbrandsen
and Chief Jordan will present this at the Fire Chiefs and'Training Officers'
meeting on Friday..
Mayor Pro Tem Matson feels that rather than emulating someone else, the City of
Boynton Beach should set the tone and be in the forefront.
Commissioner Katz pointed out that the residents near this facility might have
the same concerns as the residents of Golfview Harbour. Mr. Gulbrandsen said
the tower is 200' to 250' away from the closest residential easements. It will
be screened by the fence and some of the landscaping. The smoke furnace allows
the smoke to be controlled. No large fires with flames will be built. The
smoke is contained within the building. The training to be done in the open air
regarding mock tragedies will have steam releases colored with food coloring.
Vice Mayor Aguila feels the site location is not optimum and.he cannot see from
the plan that the ladder truck will be able to get around. City Manager Miller
advised that changes can be made.
Commissioner Walshak had no problems with this presentation and feels the
suggestions made at this meeting should be incorporated into the plan. He asked
about the existing building. City Manager Miller advised that there are showers
in the Administration Building. It is being used as a storage facility at pre-
sent. Mayor Harmening suggested moving those items to the Warehouse and reno-
vating the existing building. City Manager Miller said there is not a lot of
work to be done in that building. It needs cleaning up.
In response to Commissioner Walshak's question, City Manager Miller said this
entire project will cost approximately $500,000. Everything could be covered by
other funding and grants with the exception of the Warehouse/Storage Building.
City Manager Miller advised that additional work is required on the plan and
this presentation is only a rough conceptual plan. These plans will have to be
done professionally.
Mayor Pro Tem Matson suggests getting two other municipalities besides the City
of Boynton Beach to commit to $20,000 each. With a matching grant, the funds
would be available to build the tower.
