Poinciana Elementary School. Ms. Searcy commended Commissioner Walshak for his
assistance in these areas.
Kathleen Klrton, 2526 S. W, 13th Court, commended Mayor Harmening for his
efforts.in obtaining transportation for the elderly and asked the status of the
transportation proposed by the City. Mr. Miller advised that his office is
presently accumulating data on minor and many type transportation systems in and
around South Florida and that several meetings have been scheduled in the next
several weeks with representatives from the Metropolitan Planning Organization
to attempt to visit avenues for funding. Mr. Miller also advised that a six
month study of five cities in Palm Beach County has been started by the MPO to
ascertain the necessary transportation needs and to draft up preliminary
routing. In addition, the City is proceeding to do its own study in house.
Elayne 0linger owns a lot on N. E. 15th Place and would like to build a home on
it; however, she said the area looks like a KOA campground or a marina because
of the boats and recreational vehicles. Mayor Harmening advised her that the

that they are allowed to be parked in the front yards as long as they are on a
hard surface. Ms. Olinger stated that most of these vehicles are parked on sod.

APRIL 8, ~gg3
Eddie Hltche11, 329 N. E. 12th Avenue, pled for unity among the Commissioners
and pointed out that they were installed into office for the good of the citi-
zens of this City. He congratulated the winners of the recent election. He
also congratulated Chief Dettman and trusted he will do an excellent job in
trying to bring about a better image of the Police Department.
Charles Cox, 205 N. E. 3rd Street, owns a scanner and listens to the Police
Department every night to keep abreast or.what is happening in his area. He
said the City has an excellent, first-class Police Department and the City
Commission needs to support them 100 per cent. With regard to Deputy Chief
Dettman being promoted to Police Chief, Mr. Cox felt the City needs a balance of
minorities; however, he also felt that the people in the Police Department need
to be promoted.
Bob Brown was present representing a gentleman who contracted to purchase a
building. Mr. Brown said it appears that this gentleman is not getting a
straight answer with respect to when he will be able to get a Certificate of
Occupancy if he purchases the building; nor is he getting any specific outlines
on what the City will require to bring this building up to code. He asked the
Commission to workshop this matter to get something in writing and put a time
table on it to increase business in Boynton Beach. Vice Mayor Aguila pointed
out that if this gentleman does not have the experience, he needs to hire a
design specialist who is familiar with the codes and the process. He said the
Building Department will tell him which codes are in effect and which codes he
needs to abide by, but they will not design it for him.
NO ONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK, MAYOR HARMENING DECLARED PUBLIC AUDIENCE CLOSED.
VIII,. DEVELOPHENT PLANS
Relocation of Recycling Center from the Utilities Department site to
a piece of City property west of Congress Avenue on the north side of
Woolbrlght Road
At the request of the City Manager's Office, Chris Cutro, Planning and Zoning
Director, has been trying to assist the Utilities Department in relocating the
recycling center. Mr. Cutro reviewed the three sites available at the present
time, namely, the Boynton Commerce Center, the Westlake Hardware site, and Tract
13 of Quail Lakes.
Commissioner Katz was in favor of the Westlake Hardware site. Vice Mayor Aguila
was in favor of Tract 13 Quail Lakes, and Commissioner Walshak was in favor of
the Boynton Commerce Center. Mayor Harmening suggested that Mr. Cutro explore
the sites further and report back to the City Commission in two weeks.
B, Request from Godart and Company to allow restaurants in N-1 zoning
districts
Mr. Cutro received a request from Tom Godart to consider removing the prohibi-
tion of restaurants in the M-1 zoning district. Mr. Cutro advised that the land
- 11 -
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTONBEACH, FLORIDA
APRIL 8, 1993
use element of the Boynton Beach Comprehensive Plan allows restaurants in the
industrial land use category if they are accessory to industrial and other
allowable uses. Mr. Cutro stated that Mr. Godart pointed out that a restaurant
located in the. proper place in an M-1 zoning district could reduce some of the
traffic from the arterials. He asked the Commission for direction.
Vice Mayor Aguila envisioned "fast food alley" if restaurants are allowed in
this district. He expressed concern about buffering and pointed out that
restaurants rely on visibility.
Gerry Church, Civil Engineer, has been retained by the owner to do a feasibility
study on the site. He pointed out that restaurants are allowed in this district
as an accessory use and that the zoning district is only M-1 on the east side of
Congress Avenue. Mr. Church proposed putting a stand alone facility at S. W.
30th and Congress Avenues. This is a 4.4 acre tract and is at a traffic signa-
lized intersection.
At this point in the meeting, Mr. Cherof left the Chambers.
Mr. Church stated that a stand alone facility in this industrial area would not
only reduce traffic throughout the neighborhood, but would also attract a higher
type of users to the remainder of the property.
In response to Commissioner Katz, the owner of the property advised that, thus
far, Wendys and McDonalds have expressed an interest in doing business at this
location.
At this point in the meeting, Mr. Cherof returned to the Chambers.
Motion
Commissioner Walshak moved to deny this request. Commissioner Aguila seconded
the motion, which carried 4-0.
C, Master Plan Modification to split the cost of construction for Knuth
Road between Tara Oaks PUD and Knuth Road PCD
Mr. Cutro stated that when the TaKa Oaks PUD, the Knuth Road PCD, and the
Boynton Beach PCD were approved in late 1990, the requirement for building Knuth
Road was attached to the Tara Oaks PUD. Bill Winchester and Michael Schroeder
filed a master plan modification to change that requirement so that it would be
split between the three developments. The City Commission then asked the City
Engineer and the Planning and Zoning Director to negotiate with Mr. Winchester
and Mr. Schroeder. As a result, an agreement was prepared. City Engineer W.
Richard Staudinger, and Mr. Cutro are fairly comfortable with this agreement,
except for the paragraph which requests the City to agree to grant all time
extensions, as necessary, for a period of five years, thereby binding future
Commissions.
Commissioner Katz asked about the possibility of new owners being able to sue
in the future should they not want to go along with the agreement. Mr. Cutro
- 12 -
NINUTE$ - REGULAR CITY COI~I$$ION NEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
APRIL 8, 1993
assumed the condition would travel with the sale of the land and the new owners
would know about these conditions. Commissioner Walshak pointed out a similar
situation (Miner Road). With regard to Miner Road, Mr. Staudinger explained
that the construction costs were underestimated and the $54,000 bond that was
posted was insufficient to build the road. Mr. Staudinger stated that the
agreement relating to Knuth Road contains the requirement for bonding of Knuth
Road, and if a proper construction cost estimate is prepared and a big enough
bond posted, this situation should not occur again. He said language could also
be added to the agreement that the City would prepare the construction cost por-
tion for the bonding, and make it 110 or 125 per cent. Commissioner Walshak
wanted that as part of the agreement.
Commissioner Katz asked if this would cause more traffic on Congress Avenue.
Mr. Cutro stated that the reason for putting Knuth Road in is to reduce the
traffic on Congress Avenue.
Consensus
It was the consensus of the City Commission to approve this master plan modifi-
cation, subject to sufficient bonding, and with the exception of the paragraph
in the agreement which requests the City to agree to grant all time extensions,
as necessary, for a period of five years. The cost estimates will be reviewed
by Mr. Staudinger and bonding will be at 125 per cent.
D, Excavation and FIll Permit Tara Oaks PUD - Construction of Knuth Road
Mr. Staudinger reviewed the information contained in his March 30, 1993
memorandum to the City Manager.
Notion
Commissioner Walshak moved to approve this excavation and fill permit. Vice
Mayor Aguila seconded the motion, which carried 4-0.
At this point, IX.C.1. was moved up on the agenda.
C, Resolutions

Commissioner Walshak moved to approve Proposed Resolution No. R93-54.
Commissioner Katz seconded the motion.
Vice Mayor Aguila felt the City was missing an opportunity by not looking out-
side the Police Department for a chief; however, he had faith in Chief Dettman
and wished him the best.
Dorothy Walker, 707 N. W. 3rd Street, stated that the Murphy/Mayo report indi-
cated there were definite problems and that there needs to be some house
cleaning. She congratulated Chief Dettman for the steps he has made in trying
to get feedback from everyone in the community and hoped the Commissioners will
continue to use the Murphy/Mayo report as guidelines.
Ron Washam, 112 S. Atlantic Drive, initially had reservations about not looking
outside to fill this position; however, he had faith in Chief Dettman and wished
him the best.
The motion carried 3-1. Vice Mayor Aguila cast the dissenting vote.
MAYOR HARMENING DECLARED A RECESS AT 8:47 P. M. THE MEETING RESUMED AT 8:52
P. M.
E, Annexation $tucLv - Enclaves and western area proposals
Mr. Cutro utilized maps during his presentation. He stated that in the fall of
1991 the City Commission authorized the Planning and Zoning Department to under-
take a two year study of annexation in and around Boynton Beach. The first year
was spent on enclaves. The other portion of the time was spent on the western
area. The Planning and Zoning Department queried all the departments within the
City regarding the costs of extending services to the enclaves and determined
that there would be no additional costs, or very little, to the City. At the
end of last year, letters were sent regarding whether or not people were
interested in annexation. The results of these letters are summarized in Senior
Planner Michael Rumpf's March 31, 1993 memo to Mr. Cutro. Mr. Cutro recommended
that the City Commission authorize staff to annex the enclaves that are con-
tiguous to the City that have water service agreements and all enclaves that
have indicated a desire to be annexed.
In response to Vice Mayor Aguila, Mr. Cutro advised that we would yield only
about $25,000 in new taxes to the City. If we were to manage to take care of
all the enclaves by either legislative bill or some other means, the amount of
money that would come into the City would be $791,000.
Mr. Cutro also recommended that if the City Commission chooses to proceed to
close the enclaves out {relative to the people who have indicated they do not
want to.be annexed or have not responded}, a legislative bill be submitted or,
if there is a change in the State law, a referendum be placed on the ballot next
spring.

MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
APRIL 8, 1993
In response to Commissioner Walshak, Mr. Cutro explained what an enclave is and
identified them on the map, indicating which wish to be annexed, which do not,
and which have water service agreements.
Jerry Hertel, 3 Bellair, spoke against annexation of his property and asked
about the potential tax revenue factor with regard to enclave 15. He pointed
out that prior to commencing annexation procedures, according to Chapter
171.0413, Boynton Beach is required to prepare a report setting forth the plans
to provide urban services to any area being annexed. He has not received a copy
of this report. Mr. Cutro advised that the taxes on Mr. Hertel's property would
be $507 and that the report Mr. Hertel made reference to would not include his
property. He stated that he knows those people do not want to be annexed and
that a report will not be done on anybody that does not want to be annexed.
In response to Commissioner Katz, Mr. Miller advised that enclave 15 receives
police, fire, and emergency medical services from the County. The City of
Boynton Beach has taken over ALS transport to both Briny Breezes and the Town of
Ocean Ridge. Gulfstream will be going in with the City of Delray Beach. Those
unincorporated areas are going to be serviced by the County. The County is
either going to increase the service cost to the residents who live there or
rely on the City, through a mutual aid agreement, to provide those services. It
is not beneficial for the City of Boynton Beach to provide those services for
free. In addition, the City of Boynton Beach may be providing fire services to
the City of Briny Breezes in the near future.
Motion
Commissioner Walshak moved to direct the Planning Department to proceed with
enclave annexation and to direct the City Attorney to prepare the appropriate
documents with regard to the people in the enclave who want to be annexed. He
further moved to direct the City Attorney to start the preparation of the docu-
ment to the legislature for those people who object to the annexation. Vice
Mayor Aguila seconded the motion, which carried 4-0.
Mr. Cutro referred to a map of the western area. A staff survey was done to
determine services. Mr. Cutro advised the Commission of the money the City
would have to expend and the revenue the City could expect to yield. Since the
potential revenue is only about $59,000 on the southern block and the costs
would be in excess of $500,000, Mr. Cutro suggested leaving this area alone. He
said it is a very small block and very difficult for the City to service.
Mr. Cutro suggested focusing on the shaded areas in area 1. He stated that in
order to provide services to this area, Miner Road needs to be completed. He ils
in the process of negotiating with Citrus Glen, Melear, and Knollwood Groves to
have them share the cost of finishing Miner Road.
In response to Commissioner Walshak, Mr. Cutro identified those areas having
water service agreements, and those having water service agreements containing
annexation clauses.

Discussion ensued regarding whether or not annexation of the western area is
economically advantageous at this time, Mayor Harmening pointed out that the
revenue lost on the 25 per cent surcharge needs to be factored in,
Consensus
There was consensus to have Mr, Cutro work with the City Manager's Office to
refine the numbers; however, Mayor Harmening did not want staff to expend a
great deal of time on this matter.

Vice Mayor Aguila stated that his intentions through this ordinance were to make
sure the Building Official does not make zoning determinations and that the
Planning Official does not make building determinations. He said the Building
Official should not be making zoning determinations and land use determinations
that are made by the Planning and Zoning Director and that those portions in
conflict with the City Code of Ordinances should be cleaned up. Vice Mayor
Aguila stated that the Building Official should continue to regulate the normal
duties given him under State Statutes and the Standard Building Code without
interference by the Planning Director.
Commissioner Walshak agreed with Vice Mayor Aguila; however, he stated that this
ordinance changes all the sections which are applicable sections to the Building
Official and which are mandated by State Statute. He would like the language in
this ordinance cleaned up.
Mr. Cherof stated that it was unclear from the previous minutes of the City
Commission meeting what the true intent of the Commission was with respect to
the amendments that were contemplated, and that this ordinance was intended to
elicit from the City Commission some detailed direction regarding the changes
that are wanted.
Vice Mayor Aguila stated that at one point, the Building Official was also the
Zoning Official and the Code of Ordinances made sense as written. However, this
has not been the case for a couple of years now and there are still clauses in
the Code of Ordinances which are no longer appropriate. Vice Mayor Aguila said
it is not his intention to take away the Building Official's normal State
Statute and regulatory duties that he now performs.
Mr. Cherof advised that this is not the intent of the ordinance. It simply
gives the City Commission some generic categories, which are all encompassing.
Mr. Cherof will have to go through the Code section by section and make 'the
appropriate changes. He will draft ordinances to accommodate Vice Mayor
Aguila's intent.
Mr. Cutro stated that he is in the process of revising various sections of the
Zoning Code and suggested rolling what was said tonight into those revisions and
extracting them out of the other Codes at a later date.
Vice Mayor Aguila pointed out that about a year and a half'ago, staff was
working on setting up a separate book for land development regulations dealing
with all land related issues, and that maybe during this process, the codes can
be cleaned up.

Commissioner Walshak moved to strike Proposed Ordinance No. 093-4 from the

Carrie Parker, Assistant City Manager, recommended this ordinance be tabled.
She explained that there must have been miscommunication with the City

before the City Commission deals with another IRS requirement regarding a
rollover from trustee to trustee, which was sent to the City Attorney by the
Personnel Department. Ms. Parker advised that both items can be incorporated

X, OLD BUSINESS
A, Report on position of Community Service Aides
Wilfred Hawkins, Assistant to the City Manager, referred to Agenda Memorandum
No. 93-009 and briefly explained three civilian police training concepts,
namely, community service aides, police cadet, and security officer.
Since. the three concepts have different purposes and functions, Chief Dettman
asked if the Commission's intent was to have a program for training potential
police officers or augmenting police officers in the field. Commissioner Katz'
thoughts were of augmenting the Police Department.
Mayor Harmening inquired about costs. Chief Dettman advised that three com-
munity police aides would cost the same as two sworn police officers. Mayor
Harmening asked him if he recommended laying off two sworn police officers and
replacing them with aides. Chief Dettman advised that it is significant at this
point not to lay off police officers, but to possibly move forward with the idea
that a community policing program might benefit from sworn police officers. He
added that police cadets can perform some of the same functions as sworn offi-
cers and would cost considerably less than police aides. Commissioner Walshak
pointed out that nobody every suggested laying off police officers to hire com-
munity service aides. Commissioner Katz c°nfirmed that this was not his intent
at all. Commissioner Walshak asked if aides would be helpful to the Police
Department in the future. Chief Dettman advised that they would be extremely
helpful at this point in time, especially in light of the focus on recruitment.
He thought it would be encumbent upon the City and Police Chief to explore the
possibility of instituting a police cadet program.
Consensus
It was the consensus of the City Commission to direct the Police Chief and the
City Manager to work in conjunction and draw up their suggestions for such a
program and the costs therefor. This can then be considered at the budget
hearings.

C, Update on the location of a high $chool in the City of Boynton Beach
Ms. Parker referred to Agenda Memorandum No. 93-30C. She reported that since
the last City Commission meeting, Quantum Park has submitted a 47.95 acre site
in the southwest corner of the park for a high school. Additionally, Tradewinds
has submitted a site at Woolbright and 1-95. School Board staff is actively
negotiating with the Klatt property owners and the Quantum property owners.
They are not, however, negotiating with Tradewinds at this point because
Motorola has come forward with a number of inducements to locate the high school
within the City limits, adjacent to the Motorola property. In addition,
Tradewinds is very close to Atlantic, making it difficult to racially balance
that site.
Ms. Parker further reported that Motorola has actively supported the Poinciana
math/science magnet. They currently have a program at Congress Middle School
and have committed to expand it. Ms. Parker mentioned some of the ideas that
Motorola has for the high school.
Ms. Parker advised that the School Board has agreed to the Poinciana
math/science magnet. They are now looking at the proposed feeder system.
Implementation of this feeder system in the educational process will be one of
the first in the State; possibly the first in the country. The School Board
will discuss the high school at their May 5, 1993 meeting, instead of the
April 28, 1993 meeting.
Ms. Parker informed the Commission that the Boynton Beach Chamber of Commerce
has submitted a resolution to the City in support of the Quantum site.
In response to Ms. Searcy, Mayor Harmening advised that the City is not in favor
of any particular location. The City is in favor of a high school in the City.
Motion
Vice Mayor Aguila moved to authorize City staff to continue their efforts in
securing a high school within the City limits of Boynton Beach and attend the
School Board meetings, when necessary, and offer support for a high school

AT THIS POINT, MAYOR HARMENING DECLARED A SHORT RECESS. THE MEETING RESUMED AT
10:12 P. M.
XI, NEW BUSINESS
A, Items for discussion requested by Commissioner David Katz
1, Conditional use review in all zoning categories
Commissioner Katz stated that in discussions with the City Planner, he suggested
the zoning codes could be cleaned up.
Mr. Cutro felt a lot of uses have been added to the Code as conditional uses
because people are not sure what their performance levels would be or what would
happen with them. He felt it would be appropriate to review the zoning codes
and clean them out; more importantly, to list them as actual conditional uses.
He suggested looking at the intentions of the zoning districts and question if
the use would normally be allowed in the zoning district. He feared that some
of the uses that have been placed in conditional uses were placed there
because'of a poor incident with one situation, or in some cases you might have
uses that are automatically allowed that need to be conditional uses because of
the intensity of the nature of the use. He probably can start this in about
three or four months. This will be made part of the LDRs.
Consensus
There was consensus of the City Commission to proceed with this matter.
2, Environmentally Sensitive Land Ordinance
Commissioner Katz stated that there is an application by Cedar Grove to develop
the Seacrest Scrub and that arguments exist about whether 25 per cent has to be
set aside. Commissioner Katz would like to make the wording stronger.
Mr. Cherof advised that there is currently a 25 per cent requirement, both in
the Code and as part of the Comprehensive Plan. The ordinance would amplify the
manner in which the 25 per cent is reserved and give the City some additional
controls and input into that process, which now is pretty much at the discretion
of the property owner.
Motion
Commissioner Katz moved to direct the City Attorney and the Planning and Zoning
Director to clear up the language. Commissioner Walshak seconded the motion,
which carried 4-0.

3. Appointment of Clt~ Lobbyist
Commissioner Katz thought it would be a good idea for the City to have a
lobbyist/governmental affairs director to go to the County and State levels to
try to get more grant money, promote the City, bring business into the City, and
help revenues. He shared his research with the Commission.
Vice Mayor Aguila would like more information before making a decision.
In response to Mayor Harmening, Mr. Miller felt a governmental affairs director
could very well be advantageous to the City; however, it would have to be
investigated where the dollars would come from for this person. He felt there
was some merit on the back page of Commissioner's Katz' proposal relative to the
down town area, and stated that if the City is serious about the downtown, it
needs a person to get to know the downtown backwards and forwards and be able
to market it.
Mayor Harmening was not the least bit interested in appointing a lobbyist,
unless it is for a specific purpose. Commissioner Walshak felt many specific
purposes already exist, such as cleaning up the down town. Mayor Harmening
pointed out that we hired a down town redevelopment coordinator in 1984 without
results.
Motion
Vice Mayor Aguila moved to instruct the City Manager to come back with more
information. Commissioner Walshak seconded the motion, which carried 3-1.
Mayor Harmening cast the dissenting vote.
4. Little Palm Theatre
Commissioner Katz was informed that the Little Palm Theatre is now being charged
to use Freedom Hall. As a result, they had to raise their admission prices 20
per cent. Commissioner Katz asked the Commission to give a refund to the Little
Palm Theatre and not to charge them in the future. If the City Commission
agrees to do this, the Little Palm Theatre will lower their price for admission
and donate twenty tickets for each show for disadvantaged youths.
Mr. Miller was aware of why the City started charging the Little Palm Theatre.
He will obtain a report from the Parks and Recreation Department and bring this
back at the next meeting.
Motion
Commissioner Katz moved to direct the City Manager and the Director of
Recreation to allow the Little Palm Theatre to use Freedom Hall at no charge.
Vice Mayor Aguila seconded the motion, which carried 4-0.
Vice Mayor Aguila felt one of the old schools would be a good place to house the
Little Palm Theatre.

Ms. Parker said the City is putting together a joint proposal with the Little
Palm Theatre to bring their entire operation to Boynton Beach in the future.
However, the City will receive charges for housing themas a theatre. This
would not be totally subsidized forever. They are working on a proposal to make
Boynton their home, but they would be willing to contribute toward the upkeep
and maintenance of the theatre.
5, Vincent Flnlzlo v$, the City of Boynton Beach
Commissioner Katz asked the City Manager and City Attorney what the status of
this case is.
Mr. Cherof advised that a number of hearings are pending in Circuit Court to
implement the Appellate Court mandate, which entails establishing the amount of
money owed to Mr. Finizio and implementing his current job description.
Commissioner Katz asked why the City is going through this process and paying
Mr. Vance. He suggested meeting with Mr. Finizio's representative, the City
Manager, and the City Attorney to resolve this issue. Mr. Cherof advised that
the Appellate Court mandate does not do anything unless it is implemented and
enforced by the Trial Court and the trial case is wrapped up. The case could be
settled at any time before it is filed, while it is pending, or after it is
filed. There was a meeting this week which Mr. Cherof facilitated between the
City Manager, Mr. Finizio's attorney, and the City's Attorney. Mr. Cherof
understood this was not a very productive meeting.
Mr. Finizio would like to settle this matter. He hired a forensic certified
public accountant, who has come up with some sound figures in the amount of
$135,900 in unpaid wages due Mr. Finizio and a current salary of $31.40 an hour.
In response to Vice Mayor Aguila, Mr. Finizio stated that since the City has not
responded to his Request for Admissions, he has not turned over the $1,500
forensic report for free without requiring Mr. Vance to go through the legal
procedures in order to obtain that information.
Mr. Miller advised that the number the City has set forth through the Personnel
Department is approximately $33,900 and that Mr. Finizio and his attorney are in
possession of the computations showing how that number was arrived at.
According to Mr. Finizio, he is owed back wages in the amount of $107,101. The
remainder of the $135,900 is for attorneys' fees and court costs. Mr. Finizio
has not shown how he has arrived at the $107,101 in back wages.
Commissioner Katz wanted to know why the City needs Mr. Vance to do this.
Mr. Cherof explained that the City is in litigation. Mr. Finizio is represented
by counsel, and the City is represented by counsel. He advised that the City
can drop its attorney at any time it would like, but when the City goes into
Court, it needs an attorney to present the City's case. Mr. Cherof advised that
he is precluded from doing this because Mr, Finizio has raised the fact that he
has a conflict of interest in this case. Therefore, the City was required to
obtain outside counsel at a much greater expense.

C, Nuniclpal League Report
Vice Mayor Aguila had nothing to report at this time.
Consider request from Natthew Bradley on behalf of the Greater
Boynton Beach Chamber of Commerce to use the Intra-coastal Park for
their Sth Annual $eafest October 2 and 3, 1993
Notion
Vice Mayor Aguila moved to approve this request. Commissioner Walshak seconded
the motion, which carried 4-0.
E, Proposed utility fee by Palm Beach County to fund the Department of
Environmental Resources #anagament (DERM)
Mayor Harmening explained that the Director of DERM is proposing to charge a fee
to all cities to enforce the County's Wellfield Ordinance.
Consensus
It was the consensus of the City Commission to direct Mr. Cherof to draft a
resolution to the Board of County Commissioners, strongly opposing this fee, and
asking them to clean up the portions of the code that allow gasoline storage
tanks right next to wellfields.
Refunding of the Publlc Servtce Tax Revenue Bonds, Serles 1986 and
1990 - Authorization to proceed in the refunding and to select an
UnderwrlterlFlnanclal Advlsor and Bond Counsel
Michael Hole of Smith Barney, congratulated the Mayor, Vice Mayor and
Commissioner Katz with regard to the recent election.
Mr. Hole told of Smith Barneys' credentials and experience. He stated that
Smith Barney has been watching this particular refunding since February, and
studied the additional bonds test and the capacity on the public service tax.
He felt the key to this issue is not the 1986 issue nor the 1990 issue, but the
Golf Course issue because the Golf Course has public service taxes that back up
the golf course revenues.
- 29 -
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
APRIL 8, 1993
In response to Commissioner Walshak, Mr. Hole stated that if the City used all
the public service tax, the City would have $30,000,000
In response to Commissioner Walshak, Mr. Hole advised that using $5,000,000 in
today's market, if the City wanted to refund the bonds and raise an additional
$5,000,000 while keeping the debt service exactly where it is now, the City
would have to extend the debt to the year 2015. It is currently at 2010.
Mayor Harmening stated that the City presently has a debt service reserve and it
is possible to replace it with a surety, instead of money. He asked what that
would produce over a three year period. Mr. Hole stated that the City currently
has approximately $2,000,000 in a reserve that was required by the insurer for
the 1986 and 1990 public service tax bonds. Instead of taking money out at
closing, the City can purchase a surety bond to replace the $2,000,000, thereby
freeing up the $2,000,000.' If the City was able to obtain the consent of the
insurer to do that, the City could put the $2,000,000 back into this refinancing
and issue that much less bonds. The results would be approximately $800,000
each year for the next three years. The City would save about $2.5 million by
cashing out the reserve.
Craig Hunter, Senior Vice President of William R. Hough and Company, and his
colleague, John Fornee, were present. Mr. Hunter told of his company's
credentials and experience.
Mike Miller and Jeff Larson of Sun Bank South Florida told of their company's
credentials and experience.
In response to Mayor Harmening, Mr. Larson gave his projections for the short
term municipal bonds.
Commissioner Katz would like to see the City add money for the Poinciana School
project and to add money to the bond issue over an extended period of five years
to purchase the Seacrest Scrub outright and build a passive park there. The
City could then get money from the County and put it back toward the' debt serv-
ice of the bond or use it for capital improvements.
In response to Mayor Harmening, City Manager Miller believed competition is best
when several firms are involved; however, three may be too many. He believed
all three companies are good; however, he recommended both Smith Barney and
William R. Hough because of the competitiveness of these two companies and
because they obtained the lowest interest rate possible for the City relative to
the last several issues they were involved with.
Motion
Vice Mayor Aguila moved to select Smith Barney as the primary, William R. HOugh
as co-underwriter, and MOyle Flanigan as Bond Counsel.
Commissioner Walshak asked Smith Barney if they are interested in a co-
management position on this issue. Mr. Hole did not have a problem working
- 30 -

with William R..Hough or Sun Bank. Mayor Harmening asked if he would have a
problem with a 65/35 split. Mr. Hole said he would feel comfortable with what-
ever this Commission sets; however, the lead does the majority of the work.
In response to Commissioner Walshak, Mr. Hole stated that his first choice is to
underwrite the issue by himself.
Commissioner Walshak felt competitiveness is decreased when two companies are
involved, and that a single bond underwriter on this issue would produce more
results for the taxpayers.
Mayor Harmening passed the gavel and seconded the motion. The motion failed
2-2.
Mayor Harmening inquired about the relationship between Smith Barney and
American Express. Mr. Hole advised that Smith Barney is in the process of
working out the acquisition of Shearson, which is part of American Express.
This is scheduled to take place in July. It seemed to Mayor Harmening that a
conflict exists since Mr. Katz works for American Express. Commissioner Katz
said he does not work for American Express. He said he is an independent
contractor of a larger contractor. The work he does for American Express has
nothing to do with the investment side of their business. Mr. Cherof advised
that Commissioner Katz is the only one who is in the position to determine if he
has a conflict of interest which would preclude him from voting on this issue.
He said Commissioner Katz has to determine whether he feels he derives any
financial gain or could possibly derive any financial gain from voting on this
subject matter. Commissioner Katz stated that he has no conflict.
Hotlon
Commissioner Walshak moved that Smith Barney be awarded the contract, along
with Moyle Flanigan as bond counsel underwriters. Vice Mayor Aguila seconded
the motion, which carried 3-1. Mayor Harmening cast the dissenting vote.
Commissioner Walshak inquired if the bonds should be extended. Mayor Harmening
was not in favor of extending the term for additional money; however, he was in
favor of replacing the reserve with a surety to build one park.
Ms. Parker advised that Poinciana School is estimated around $500,000 to
$550,000. She further advised that the County is putting up approximately
$800,000 relative to the Seacrest Scrub. In addition, a matching grant has been
received from the State of Florida, for a total of $1.6 million. However, the
City would not be reimbursed for the grant monies if it purchases the property.
Also, the County and the Nature Conservancy have additional funds in their
current budget that could be applied. Mayor Harmening was not in favor of
purchasing the Seacrest Scrub. Mr. Hough stated that the $2.4 million in
reserve could be freed up in closing if the City was able to get the surety.
Mr. Hole stated that the City can get at least the $800,000 overtime. If it
takes it at closing, it is no longer just a pure refunding issue; new money is
involved and the auditors would have to sign a certificate to pass the test.

Mr. Hole thinks there is a chance. He said he ran the numbers conservatively in
terms of how much the City could actually pull out at closing and not touch that
piece going to the general fund. He advised that the lower the interest rates
go, the more the City can get at closing without extending the debt and without
increasing the debt service. Commmissioner Walshak was in support of purchasing
the Seacrest Scrub. Mr. Hole will prepare the necessary documents for presenta-
tion at the April 20, 1993 City Commission meeting.
