Presentation of $3,036 check to Mimi Haley, Special Events
Coordinator and Robert N. Hochburg, Director of Government
Affairs for Kids in Distress - Police Chief Marshall Gage
Chief Gage and the recipients took the podium. Chief Gage invited the representative
from Gold Coast Builders to come to the podium. Chief Gage explained that Gold
Coast Builders Association was building a house and the proceeds from the sale of the
house would be donated to the Kids in Distress Program. Gold Coast Builders asked
the City for a waiver of the water meter fee, which the City is not allowed to grant. Chief
Gage said he was asked by the Mayor and Commissioners if the Police Department
could consider this request through the Law Enforcement Trust Funds, which are seized
funds and does permit the funds to be used for youth programs and drug campaigns.
There were sufficient LETF funds available that would allow the Police Department to
give $3,036 directly to Kids in Distress, which represented the meter fees.
Chief Gage requested that the President of Gold Coast Builders present the check to
Ms. Mimi Haley. Ms. Haley thanked the City for their generous contribution and for
helping save the lives of many children who are in desperate need of help due to abuse.

V. CITY MANAGER'S REPORT:
Interim City Manager Hawkins reported that on Sunday evening at approximately 8:54
p.m., 13 firefighters, two fire engines and one ladder truck from the Boynton Beach Fire
Department responded to a call at the Kid's Kingdom Playground regarding a fully
engulfed fire. The fire was extinguished in only 30 minutes. The fire was initially
determined to be suspicious in origin and Interim City Manager Hawkins said that
tonight at 6:00 p.m., the Boynton Beach Police Detectives announced that a 12 year old
juvenile was taken into custody for arson at the Kid's Kingdom. This particular youth
has an extensive criminal history and has admitted to setting the fire.
Officers Ron Ryan and John Gonzales and Detectives Toby Athol and Bill Shortley are
to be congratulated for their fine work. The youth bragged about setting the fire. The
local children who heard this juvenile bragging were upset about the destruction of their
favorite playground and provided the information when questioned by the uniformed
officers. Interim City Manager Hawkins said the City is going to move swiftly to repair
the playground and has already contacted the insurance company and hopefully the
playground will be fully operational within 60 to 90 days.
Interim City Manager Hawkins thanked the Police Department and the Fire Department
for all their diligent work.

Secondly, Mr. Waldman asked about the status of the contract with the Police
Department. Attorney Cherof stated negotiations are ongoing. Mr. Waldman said he is
proud to be living in Boynton Beach and would like the City to be able to recruit people
for the Police Department as a career, not just a job. Further, Mr. Waldman would like
Boynton Beach to be viewed as a good place to live, where people raise their families
and retire.
Mr. Ron Washam, 112 St. Atlantic Drive, Boynton Beach informed the Commission
that Thursday, April 22, 1999 is Youth in Government Day which is sponsored by the
Community Relations Board of Boynton Beach. There are three separate portions of
the day. Orientation is at 8:00 a.m. in the Chambers. At 12:30, at the Madsen Center,
the Youth in Government Day Luncheon will take place. The mock City Commission
Meeting with the students will take place in the Commission Chambers at 7:00 p.m.
Mr. Washam thanked Mayor Broening and Fire Chief Bingham for attending the Royal
Palm School on Sunday to witness the record-breaking signing attempt and the event
made the Guinness Book of World Records for having 668 people to sign a single song.
Charlie Fisher, 8069 Stirrup Cay Court, Boynton Beach commended the Parks and
Recreation staff on the Easter Egg Hunt which was extremely organized and under
control considering the great amount of children that participated. Everyone had a
wonderful time. This event was held in cooperation with the Jaycees and others.
Secondly, Mr. Fisher said if volunteers are needed to rebuild Kid's Kingdom, there are
plenty of volunteers in the Community and the City should feel free to ask. Mr. Fisher
said he would be glad to help.
Michael Spivey and Sylvia Carr, 2000 NW 1st Street accused Christopher Mitchell of
the City's Development Department of misuse of funds that were granted to Ms. Sylvia
Carr for repairs to her home. The funds were intended for redevelopment of Miss Carr's
home and Mr. Spivey said that there are "kick-backs" and "stealing" going on. Mr.
Spivey said he has proof that items that were supposed to be paid for were not paid for.
Mr. Spivey said that $22,000 was used to remodel the home and the house is still totally
torn apart. Mr. Spivey said he had pictures to prove the work has not been completed
and said he wanted something done about this. Mr. Spivey said this has been ongoing
for three years.
Ms. Sylvia Carr said her main concern is that she and her children have to live in this
house. Ms. Carr said that Ms. Sherrod made a comment to her 15-year-old daughter
and she resents the comment. Ms. Carr said she is a hard working parent and is trying

to have a nice home for herself and her children. Ms. Carr would like to know where the
money is going.
Ms. Susan Ordway, 4283 Juniper Terrace, Boynton Beach said she has been
involved in many volunteer activities in the City of Boynton Beach and has raised her
daughter with the same premise to always help and reach out when there is a need in
the community. Ms. Ordway said her daughter has come up with a good idea to help
rebuild the Kid's Kingdom and introduced her daughter Melody Ordway to the
Commission.
Ms. Melody Ordway said she would like to sell tee shirts with the logo "Project
Playground" and drew a sketch on how the front of the shirt should look. Ms. Ordway
would like to sell sponsorships for the back of the tee shirts. Ms. Ordway would like the
back of the tee shirt to state "rebuilding our playground" and would like to dedicate the
project for all children from all children. Ms. Ordway thanked the Commission.
Mr. Mack McCray, 806 NW 4th Street, Boynton Beach said he resides in the northern
section of Boynton Beach and is concerned about the blight conditions in his
community. Mr. McCray said sidewalks are needed for the children who walk to Galaxy
Elementary School. Mr. McCray said that NW 4th Street is a very busy street leading
into Cherry Hill and sidewalks are needed. Mr. McCray said that $29,000 in
renovations to the Wilson Center was insufficient and that more money should have
been spent to renovate the Center. Mr. McCray said that more money should be spent
on Police Officers so that better Police Officers can be present in the neighborhoods.
Mr. McCray said that the fire hydrant being placed on NW 4th Street has water
continually running and the read has been torn up for three weeks.
Mr. Mike Arnold of Soma Development stated that in January he approached the
prior City Commission on their Gateway Park Project and the matter was tabled. Mr.
Arnold said that at the last CRA meeting it was determined that the property would be
turned into a park and additional parking for boat trailers. Mr. Arnold presented an
artist's rendering of a project they would like to propose for this property and asked if
the CRA was able to consider any additional ideas, or is the City Park a reality.
Mayor Broening responded that the CRA is having a meeting on Monday, April 26th at
6:30 p.m. and informed Mr. Arnold that there are three new members on the
Commission and said it was premature for the Commission to respond to the question.
Mayor Broening invited Mr. Arnold to attend the CRA meeting.
Mr. Edward Tedtmann, 869 NW 8th Avenue, Boynton Beach, noted that the police
salary debate has been ongoing for a long time and that there has been no progress

made. Mr. Tedtmann said the debate should be made open to the public to participate
and the issue could be settled sooner.
Mr. Herb Suss, a Boynton Beach resident, asked if any decision has been made with
regard to membership in the City's Golf Course. Mayor Broening suggested that Mr.
Suss speak with Mr. Hawkins at the conclusion of the meeting, as the Mayor was not
sure on the status of the Golf Course membership.
Secondly, Mr. Suss asked about the downtown development and the Mayor said he did
not have any details and would be glad to speak with him after the meeting. Mr. Suss
said that his questions should be answered while he is at the podium so that the
audience can also have the benefit of an answer.
Mayor Broening stated that even though the newspaper indicated that an investor did
pull out, the project is not in any type of jeopardy and is moving ahead.
Mr. Suss said he agreed that a national search for a City Manager was the right thing to
do and asked for' a status report. Mayor Broening said this would be discussed during
the meeting.
Mr. Suss said that Boynton Beach's G.A.L.A. far out did the Delray Affair and he
complimented the City and the staff. Mr. Suss said he would like to make a donation for
the Kid's Kingdom renovations and suggested that the City should make some type of
announcement for donations.
Mr. Suss said the City has lost in one year 15 police officers and that he had a meeting
with Police Chief Gage who confirmed this. Mr. Suss asked for answers to his
questions.
There was no more public audience.

applicant's request for the rezoning. Mr. Currie presented a plan of the warehouses on

Ocean Avenue along the tracks. The two lots for the warehouses are already zoned
commercial and it is intended to make the warehouses into shops and boutiques, but
site plan approval is necessary. Mr. Currie said there is not enough room on the
property to park, but showed where there would be parking on another lot which is
located on the restored historical house property. This property has to be rezoned to
provide for sufficient parking and then the applicant would apply for site plan approval.
Mr. Currie presented an artist's rendering of the height elevations.
Mr. Currie said there is a wall on the south and west side of the property to protect the
residential neighborhood. Mr. Currie said that Mr. Katz purchased the oldest house in
Boynton Beach, restored it and moved it for the purpose of having an attraction for the
overall development. The house has approximately 450 square feet on the ground floor
and 450 on the second floor (which has no access) and has been made into a museum.
There are a great deal of historic objects on the property and Mr. Katz would like to
have a coffee shop and create activity in the area, as well as in the restored house.
Mr. Currie said the house would serve coffee, pastry and donuts and in the evening
could offer patrons an after-dinner drink. The house cannot accommodate a great
many people and will not be enlarged. Mr. Currie said the house would not be made
into a restaurant, but is necessary for the revitalization of the area.
Mr. Currie said that a woman spoke against the project, but Mr. Rick Katz spoke to
residents within the three-block area and 95 people all are in favor of the project. Mr.
Currie said that they agree to comply with all staff recommendations. Mr. Currie said
that Mr. Katz has spent a great deal of money on this project and is trying to do
something beneficial for Boynton Beach. Mr. Currie hopes that the Commission will
support this request.
Mr. Jim Warnke, 617 Lakeside Harbor, Boynton Beach said he has been Mr. Katz's
historian for the past year. Mr. Warnke said it was Mr. Katz's ambition that the house
be restored to look like it originally did at the turn of the century and presented before
and after pictures of the house for the Commission to review. Mr. Warnke stated that
the renovations cost $200,000. Mr. Warnke said Mr. Katz lived in Boynton Beach in his
youth and moved to California and started a business. Mr. Katz plans to return to
Boynton Beach to live in a few years. Mr. Warnke noted that Mr. Katz is the only person
to have ever put over $1 million into the downtown area and this was done without
asking for any taxpayer money. This will enable Mr. Katz to open up the house with
free admission and noted that almost 1,500 people visited the house during the
G.A.L.A. Mr. Warnke said the project would become an integral part of 20/20 Visions
and the remainder of the buildings that would be renovated in the downtown area would
be wonderful. Mr. Warnke urged the Commission to support this project.

Former Mayor "Jerry" Taylor, 1086 SW 26th Avenue, Boynton Beach said he is in
support of this project and for a long time Boynton Beach has been talking about
creating destinations in the downtown area to draw people to the downtown. Former
Mayor Taylor felt this could be one of the first catalysts to accomplish this and to
compliment all the plans being formulated for downtown. Former Mayor Taylor did not
agree that the establishment should be closed at 6:00 p.m. and in order to bring people
downtown, the house must be open in the evening. Former Mayor Taylor said that
people having coffee or wine do not make noise, the train 20' away makes noise.
Mayor Taylor said this would create a great atmosphere and would bring in families and
tourists and urged the Commission to approve the project.
Micheline Many, 1001 Coral Court, Boynton Beach supports the project for herself
and a downtown neighbor and thanked Mr. Currie for his update. Ms. Many was
surprised that there were negative comments about the project. Ms. Many lives directly
across from the restored house and agreed with Mayor Taylor that the train is what
causes the noise in the area. Ms. Many said that she and neighbors would welcome life
in the neighborhood, including culture and activities and the house is too beautiful to sit
there without anyone enjoying it.
Lee Wische, 1302 SW 18th Street, Boynton Beach said he was present this evening
to defend the actions of the Planning and Development Board as Chairman of that
Board. Mr. Wische said that when the Board voted on the project last Tuesday night,
they voted on what was presented and admired the honesty of Mr. Currie in admitting
that he did not present the proper picture. The Board voted on what was actually
presented and at the meeting Mr. Currie was not sure what would be going in the
property. Mr. Wische said many things could go in a C-2 area, such as a car wash,
laundromat, dry cleaning, bicycle shop, music stores, and all kinds of other shops. Mr.
Wische said the Planning and Development Board did what was right and that they
represented the City in accordance to what was presented. Mr. Wische said what was
presented tonight was never seen by his Board.
Mr. Al DeMarco, a resident of Quail Ridge complimented the restoration of the old
house. Mr. DeMarco urged the Commissioners to visit the house to determine the great
amount of money that went into the restoration. Mr. DeMarco said that there are plans
by members of the Woman's Club to become involved in furnishing the house with
antiques. Mr. DeMarco said that he supports the project 100%.
Mayor Broening asked if any Commissioners had any comments. Commissioner
Denahan said that her initial reaction was to limit the hours of operation in order to
confine the impact on the homeowners. However, after hearing from the public
15

audience, Commission Denahan felt that the hours should not be limited and is in
support of the project wholeheartedly.
Vice Mayor Tillman said this is a continuation of what the Commission would like to see
in Boynton Beach which is more downtown development. Vice Mayor Tillman felt that
the Katz house is monumental and has historical value. Vice Mayor Tillman said he
supports this project and noted it is for the betterment of downtown.
Commissioner Weiland said the coffeehouse would be a valuable commodity to
Boynton Beach and Commissioner Weiland would like assurances from Mr. Katz that
the property would not be used for limited breakfast or light lunch or any type of small
restaurant. Commissioner Weiland said that there needs to be some guidelines as to
what would be permitted at the house.
Commissioner Sherman said he was in favor of the project as proposed. Commissioner
Sherman said it is impOrtant that there is a downtown available to the City residents.
Mayor Broening said he visited the house and was impressed that not only was a great
deal of money put into the project, but Mayor Broening also observed the Katz brothers
working very hard driving nails and painting. Mayor Broening felt the Katz brothers put
more than money into the project and this is a labor of love. The Mayor supports the
project wholeheartedly as welll.

Vice Mayor Tillman moved to approve the Katz historic house and the recommended
zoning changes. Motion seconded by Commissioner Weiland. Motion carried 5-0.

Mr. Ackermann said that the Hampshire Gardens Homeowner's Association has an
extensive plan for redoing the sides and the front of the property. The front of the
property fronts Federal Highway. The project is broken down into two phases. They are
asking the City to partnership the first phase, which would include aluminum fencing,
beautification, and hedges at a cost of $21,400. Hampshire Gardens will be putting in
the "sweat equity", as well as purchasing a great many of the materials and qualifies for
the City to contribute the maximum of $5,000.
Mr. Ackermann said the second project is a partnership program with Venetian Isle
Neighborhood Association. They are proposing to replace old signage with new
signage at the entrances to the property and the planting of trees and plants.
Mr. Ackermann said that a committee and technical review committee looked at both
projects and they have been cleared. Mr. Ackermann noted the cost of this project is

administrative costs of $6,343.12
Mr. Scott Blasie from the Code Enforcement Department took the podium and noted
there is a typographical error and that the administrative costs should be $634.12. Mr.
Blasie stated the reduction was approved unanimously by the Code Compliance Board.
Motion
Vice Mayor Tillman moved approval in Case #97-3295 to reducing the fine to $634.12.
Motion seconded by Commissioner Weiland. Motion carried 5-0.
b. Reduce the fine in Case #97-909 (Peter Browne) from
$3,625 to the administrative costs of $826.18
Mr. Blasie stated that the Code Compliance Board voted 4-3 to reduce the fine from
$3,625 to administrative costs of $826.18. Mr. Blasie referred the Commissioners to the
Code Board minutes in their packet. Mr. Blasie said that the applicant stated he has
been doing this for many years and he is an investor. The Code Compliance Board
made their decision based on the fact that some of the members felt that the fine should
not be reduced to just administrative costs. Mr. Blasie stated Mr. Browne was present
to answer any questions.
Commissioner Denahan asked if the applicant's only other recourse was to go against
the title company. Mr. Blasie stated that this is still available to the applicant even if the
Commission agrees to the fine reduction. Commissioner Denahan said that she would
not recommend that the fine be reduced to just administrative costs.
Mr. Peter Browne stated he does not have any recourse to go back to the title company
and it was an oversight on his part and that he did not read the fine print and had to
accept the title company's search.
Vice Mayor Tillman asked Mr. Browne if he did this for a business and he said he did
this primarily. Mr. Browne said he has been in the business for approximately four
years. Mr. Browne stated it was the previous owner who was responsible for the fines,
but never went back to the Board for a lien reduction and the previous owner lost the
property through foreclosure. Commissioner Denahan asked Mr. Browne if he paid the
application fee for a lien reduction and he stated he did.

XII. UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
A. Update on City Manager Recruitment
Interim City Manager Hawkins said that the Commission held a workshop session and
directed staff to find a firm that would work in conjunction with Human Resources to
conduct the City Manager Search and that has been done. Recommendations will be
made tonight. Interim City Manager Hawkins said that the Commission would be asked
to select a firm to work with Human Resources; and secondly, to set a subsequent
workshop to discuss the second phase, which is selection.
Mr. Arthur Lee, Human Resource Director, presented a handout to the Commissioners.
Mr. Hawkins asked Mr. Lee to update the Commission on the City Manager search. Mr.
Lee said that a workshop was held to determine the direction to go in with the City
Manager Search. Four options were looked at:
· In-house appointment,
· HR conducting the entire search,
· Piggy-backing with neighboring jurisdictions, and
· Submittal of RFP's.
At that workshop it was determined to go ahead with the RFP process in conjunction
with the HR function. The selected firm would cover the national portion and HR would
do the logistical work, such as advertising and interviewing.
The Commission was referred to the handouts, which consisted of the traditional listing
for the position that would be posted in-house, as well as in journals and trade
magazines. The second handout pertains to the five firms that Mr. Lee contacted -
23
MEETING MINUTES
REGULAR CITY COMMISSION
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
APRIL 20, 1999
· Slavin
· Mercer
· DMG
· Baenziger
· LaRue
The handout gives a breakdown of what each firm charges for their services and the
charges are not only for the full cost of the search, but include recruitment and
conducting the interviewing as well. Each firm indicated they would be willing to modify
the process if HR would be conducting certain portions of it.
Mr. Lee explained how the firms were rated and there were 10 criteria to be considered.
Mr. Lee said a 0 to 5 rating was used for each of the firms and the firms were divided
into "large firms" and "small firms". Mr. Lee said that a recommendation has been made
and is highlighted in the gray area of the handout, which is Mercer. Mr. Lee said he
would like to present to the Commission how he arrived at this selection.
· The first criterion was cost. Mr. Lee said there were lower costs with the smaller
firms, but Mercer is one of the major firms that can perform all the functions at a
similar price to the smaller firms. Traditionally, Mercer charges more, but they are
in the area conducting searches for the City of Ft. Lauderdale and the Town of
Davie. Mr. Mercer said since they were already in the area, they could discount
their normal fee.
· Also, Mr. Mercer will be conducting the search himself.
· Mercer maintains a database.
· Mercer has familiarity with the South Florida area and has done numerous
searches in South Florida, such as Delray Beach, Boca Raton and West Palm
Beach. They have also done executive searches for Palm Beach County.
Mr. Lee said that all firms said the search could be done between 60 to 90 days. HR
has contacted other agencies and management associations and is waiting for the
Commission to approve the selection so that the process can proceed.
Mayor Broening inquired if the job description presented this evening differs from the
previous one furnished. Mr. Lee said that a profile of the City is included at the top. The
only thing different as far as the job description is concerned is the inclusion of
"Department Heads" will be considered.
Commissioner Denahan inquired what the premise was behind the definition of
"methodology" and noted only one firm received a 5. Mr. Lee said that Slavin and
Mercer have a flow chart of every step along the way and none of the other firms had
MEETING MINUTES
REGULAR CITY COMMISSION
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
APRIL 20, 1999
flow charts. They have a method charted out on how they would undertake their search.
It was actually visible to determine what Slavin and Mercer were going to do.
Mayor Broening inquired if the City has used any of these firms previously and Mr. Lee
said not to his knowledge. Mr. Lee said they used DMG for the pay and class study.
Mr. Lee noted that DMG and LaRue only listed two City Manager searches in their
proposals.
Motion
Vice Mayor Tillman moved to approve staff's recommendation to utilize the firm of
Mercer. Motion seconded by Commissioner Weiland. Motion carried 5-0.
Mayor Broening asked for a motion to approve the announcement as presented.
Motion
Commissioner Denahan moved to approve the announcement as presented. Vice
Mayor Tillman seconded the motion. Motion carried 5-0.
Mayor Broening asked Mr. Hawkins the purpose of the workshop. Mr. Hawkins said it
would be to review the profile and the methodology of how a profile is developed and
the Commission will decide on what the final profile will be. Also the process of
interviewing itself will be discussed.
Mr. Lee said it is common practice to have the profile in advance in order to facilitate the
search and it would normally be forwarded to each of the candidates. Therefore, it
would be good to have a workshop as soon as possible.
After discussion, it was determined to set a City Commission Workshop date
for Monday, May 3rd at 6:30 p.m. in Conference Room C, in the West
Wing.
