Item IV.E.
Authorize the Finance Director to write-off balance of Woman's
Club loan in the amount of $26,156.
COmmissioner Weiland asked Ms. Diane Reese, Finance Director, why the City is
wdting the balance of this loan off. Ms. Reese responded that this has been on the
City's books since 1981 and requires continual bookkeeping. Staff felt it would be
advantageous to write off the balance since the City departments are no longer using
the Woman's Club and it could remain on the books for another ten years. If the loan
were written off, it would mean that when the City uses the Woman's Club, it would
have to pay to use it. Commissioner Weiland said he had been informed that the Fire
Department has plans to use the Club sometime this coming year.
COmmissioner Weiland suggested that the Woman's Club could have been used for the
budget planning session and does not think the City should write off the balance of the
loan. Ms. Reese said this request is at the discretion of the Commission and the only
reason she requested it is because there have not been many meetings held there and
is !a bookkeeping problem trying to maintain accurate records on its use. Ms. Reese
e)~plained that a great many organizations have gone to the Woman's Club and stated
they were authorized by the City to use their facilities. This meant that the City had to
w~ite off this use even if Finance was not certain that its use had actually been
authorized. Ms. Reese said she could Continue to keep the balance on the books and
continue to write it off each year. It was on the agenda tonight at the request of the
WOman's Club.
Mayor Broening asked if this could be considered an expense item instead of a write-off
since the City has used it and Ms. Reese said it has already been expensed and is now
set up as a receivable. Commissioner Weiland stated that ways should be found to use
the building.
There was no one present this evening from the Woman's Club to speak on the issue.
Commissioner Denahan suggested that the matter be tabled until someone from the
Wbman's Club could be present.
Mi. Wische requested to address the Commission and Mayor Broening asked him to

V. CITY MANAGER'S REPORT:
Interim
a
fa(
fol
City Manager reported that his office has been in contact with potential
;ilitators for the City Commission strategic planning session. Mr. Hawkins distributed
packet to the Commission, which contained names and resumes of potential
;ilitators from which to choose. The facilitators that have been contacted are as
lows:
Dr. Lance DeHaven Smith
Marilyn Crotty
Ralph Parilla
Florida Institute of Government at Florida State
University
Director, Florida Institute of Government at
University of Central Florida
Parilla & Associates, a Management
Consulting Firm, Plantation, FL
Clarence Anthony Mayor of South Bay and President of the
i National League of Cities
All the facilitators have experience dealing with local governments in strategic planning
sessions and all have varied backgrounds in public administration or political science.
M~. Hawkins felt that Dr. Smith and Ms. Crotty were the leading possibilities for
fa¢ilitating the strategic planning session. Mr. Hawkins also pointed out that the
potential costs for each facilitator is listed on the handout, which is attached and made a
pa~ of the minutes.
Mi~yor Pro Tem Sherman noted that if the planning session is scheduled for October
th th
15 and 16 the Commission should make a decision tonight in order to confirm the
selected facilitator's attendance. Vice Mayor Tillman informed the Commission that he
w4 ~uld not be available on the 15th.
M~yor Pro Tem Sherman inquired if new meeting dates now had to be set.
Cbmmissioner Weiland was concerned that the dates now had to be changed.
Commissioner Weiland also questioned if the City Manager search should be separated
frGm the strategic planning session.
Mayor Broening pointed out that an agenda has not been set and did not agree with
I .
COmmissioner Weiland that the two items should be separated. Mayor Broening felt
thbt the City Manager search was the number one item that needed to be addressed.
Mbyor Broening stated that the specific items for the strategic planning session have yet
toibe determined and shOuld be determined as the first course of business at the
re(reat.
MEETING' MINUTES
REGULAR CZ'FY COMMTSSTON
BOYNTON BEACH,, FLORTDA
October 5, 1999
Commissioner Weiland requested that the City Manager search be dealt with separately
at another time, at another location and with a different facilitator.
Mayor Broening said that the retreat would not get into details of any of the issues that
haYe been suggested. He felt that separate meetings would be needed for these
issues. Mayor Broening would like to come out of the retreat with a sense of improved
understanding of what is important to the Commission.
COmmissioner Denahan concurred that the City Manager search is an issue that needs
to be addressed immediately and agreed with Mayor Broening that the City Manager
and strategic planning are one in the same. Commissioner Denahan would like to
proceed with the dates already selected and to try to accommodate Vice Mayor
Tililman's scheduling conflicts. Commissioner Denahan suggested that on the evening
ofithe 15th the City Manager search could be discussed and then the strategic planning
se~Ssion could be disCussed on Saturday, the 16th.
M~yor Broening suggested that the strategic planning take place first and then the City
Manager search could be addressed. Commissioner Denahan said personally she is
net sure why the Mayor changed his vote and this needs to be understood. She would
lik~e this explained at the workshop and that would be the place where issues could be
"h~sh.ed out". Hopefully after the workshop, the dynamics of the Commission would be
mere ~n sync.
Mayor Broening would like the facilitator to speak with each Commissioner prior to
preparing the agenda for the retreat. This could be done either by telephone or in
Person, whichever way the facilitator preferred. Mayor Broening thought it made more
s~nse for the facilitator to set the agenda than the Commission.
Cgmmissioner Denahan felt this approach could be productive. She does not like
c~Tming to a meeting without a set agenda in advance. Commissioner Denahan
sq~gested that the facilitator could meet with each Commissioner during the day of the
1§th and then the workshop could begin in the evening and does not want these issues
toldrag on further.
COmmissioner Weiland thought discussing the City Manager last was not the way to
approach this. He felt the Commissioners would be burnt out after two days and would
nqt be up to focusing on the City Manager search and he would like this discussed first.
M~yor Broening said that perhaps the selection of the City Manager might be the only
to@ic discussed at the workshop. Mayor Broening said that the Commissioners need to
find out what their jobs are first and to come away from this with a sense of common
goals before addressing other problems.
Vi~e Mayor Tillman said that before an agenda could be set, a process has to be put in
place and a means of communication has to be determined. The City Manager search
shiould not be discussed because a method to communicate has not been established.

October 5~ 1999
He felt if the Commission went into this without a means to communicate, they would be
back to where they started and that some rules need to be set. Vice Mayor Tillman
agreed that each Commissioner should speak with the facilitator prior to the workshop
and in order for the facilitator to do his job, the Commission cannot dictate to him what
his job is going to be. We can suggest areas we would like to cover, but the facilitator is
there to help us solve our problems. Vice Mayor Tillman said he would be available
anytime after 6:00 p.m. on Friday night, as well as all day Saturday and Sunday.
Mayor Broening said a process should be determined to allow each Commissioner to
speak with the facilitator prior to the retreat so that specific concerns and priorities could
be addressed. This would assist the facilitator in getting the dialogue in place and then
we can move to the City Manager resolution. Mayor Broening asked if there was a
cqnsensus that this Commission engage a facilitator for the purposes discussed this
evening and that the Commissioners make themselves available prior to the retreat to
speak with the facilitator.

Broening declared that there was a consensus that this would be the process to

e next issue would be to choose the facilitator. Commissioner Denahan inquired if
;re are any other facilitators that could be located. Mr. Hawkins said that the
:ilitators that had been contacted and were available are listed on the handout.
~yor Pro Tem Sherman pointed out that only Dr. Lance DeHaven Smith and Ralph
rilla were actually available on the 15th and 16th. Commissioner Denahan felt that Dr.
~ith was excellent and that he works with top public officials on a regular basis.
,wever, Marilyn Crotty works with elected officials more and felt she might relate
tter to this Commission. She would be more favorable to Ms. Crotty and was
;appointed that she wasn't notified until today at Commissioner Denahan's request.
,mmissioner Denahan said there are a great many facilitators available through the
~rida Institute of Government and would like to wait on the selection of a facilitator.
Mr'. Hawkins agreed that Ms. Crotty had not been contacted until today at the
su~ggestion of Commissioner Denahan. Mr. Hawkins agreed there is a network of other
facilitators available, but this Commission wanted to get to this as soon as possible.
Tl~erefore, the persons being recommended are the ones that are available on the
requested dates. Mr. Hawkins said he would be agreeable to getting more names, but
thi~ would only set the process back more.

Commissioner Denahan said there is an unlimited amount of facilitators out there and
she wants to make sure that the Commission is happy with the one they select and to
not rush into a decision because Dr. Smith is available on the 15th. Further,
COmmissioner Denahan would like to avoid incurring any more additional expenses
than is necessary since to date over $11,000 has been spent.
Commissioner Weiland felt like this is now falling apart and that is why he would like the
City Manager to be separated from the strategic planning session. Mayor Broening
pc~inted out that the Commission has already agreed by consensus to allow the
fa~ilitator to set the agenda. Also, Mayor Broening said that the dates of the 15th and
16th were agreed to by consensus.
ViCe Mayor Tillman said the Commission should move forward and a date has been
sfflected and we need to now proceed with the selection of a facilitator. He pointed out
that the longer this is put off, it could go into November or December. Vice Mayor
Tiilman said the Commission needs to move to the next step, which is to select a
facilitator and to stop being indecisive.
Mayor Broening stated the Commission has two facilitators from which to choose and
a~ked Attorney Cherof if this could be done by consensus or if a vote was necessary.
AttOrney Cherof said a vote would be appropriate.

Kevin Scully, Scully's Market, Ocean Avenue, said he has some major concerns
regarding the Ocean Avenue Promenade Project. One concern is the width of the
proposed sidewalks, which are going to be 8' wide. The current sidewalks are 4' wide
on both sides of the road. The new sidewalks will be encroaching on the width of the
road. This will prohibit delivery trucks from getting onto his property to make deliveries.
Mr. Scully presented photographs of the trucks that deliver to his store. The
consultants have devised a loading zone in front of the condominium to the west of the
store, because they know that the trucks won't be able to get into the store's parking lot.
M~. Scully does not want to encroach on his neighbors. If the road were narrowed, that
would eliminate the parallel parking on the street.
M(. Scully has concerns about the drainage issue on Ocean Avenue. He said if you go
to the east side of Federal Highway and look at the drainage project taking place and
th~; sidewalks that are being installed, the sidewalks are pedestrian unfriendly. In front
of Dan's News with the new drainage project going on and at high tide, the saltwater
comes onto the road and the road has been paved and it is too late now.
Jcseph Reese, 41 SE 5th Avenue, Boynton Beach said he was given a citation by the
C(,de Department as follows: "uncontainerized refuse, please remove fence material
frc m swale area, unregistered, abandoned auto needs to be removed". He said he
called Mr. Lewis to inform him the car was an antique and Mr. Lewis refused to accept
hi.,; explanation. Therefore Mr. Reese had the car removed, as well as the fence
mi~terial. Mr. Reese said he also was cited for appearance and maintenance of private
pr,)perty and said his yard is a certified Florida Yard, which was conferred on him by
F,~,U's Florida Yard and Neighborhood Program. He said they received a notice of
compliance on September 27, 1999. If the City wants citizens to comply with the
or, Jinances, they should be spelled out in the citations and not just recite the code
numbers. Mr. Reese said people have a right to know what they are being cited for.
NW~;m J. Wiggam, President of the South Palm Beach County Branch of the
P said he was present tonight to speak about the selection of a City Manager. Mr.
Wlggam said that the person currently in the City Manager position has come up the

d "doing the right thing". Mr. Wiggam said the individual that is qualified for the job
ould be chosen. Mr. Wiggam said he has been directed by the State Offices to
,sely monitor what is happening in Boynton Beach and said the City is receiving a
;at deal of press throughout the State. Mr. Wiggam said that Mr. Hawkins deserves
opportunity to become the permanent City Manager.
,rb Suss said he was out of line at the last Commission meeting and said he will try
t to let it happen again. Mr. Suss said he is giving the Commission a minus F for a

Mr. Suss said Wilfred Hawkins should be made City Manager.
Mr. Suss said that last night Commissioner Denahan was the only Commissioner to
attend the Neighborhood Summit meeting. He felt that Mayor Pro Tem Sherman, who
represents his district, should have been present at that meeting.
Bliaine White said he is a life long resident of Boynton Beach and is from one of the
pioneer families in Boynton Beach. He volunteers his time every year to teach
SOutheast Florida history and enters the City's Parade every year as the Barefoot
Mailman and operates the produce stand on Woolbright Road. Mr. White said he
bought a home two years ago in the City located on the corner of 14th Avenue south of
Seacrest. Mr. White said before he was even able to move into his house, he was cited
bY Inspector Lewis of the Code Department for having sugar sand in his yard and for
nC~ having grass growing. Mr. White said he had mulch put in and has had grass
grpwing in his yard for over two years, but said Inspector Lewis did not take his name
oUt of the computer. As a result, the City now has a $15,000 lien on his house, which is
odly worth $30,000. This is not fair as he is very dedicated to Boynton Beach and
would like something done about this.

1. Discussion and Commission direction regarding Alhambra
Square North
:orney Cherof reported that he has received correspondence from Robert Eisen, an
:orney for Alhambra Square North. It is a request to the City Attorney's office for
)dification of a court order for zoning of a certain tract of land that is currently C-1
ffice/Professional). This property was previously before the Commission in recent
ars as a request to locate a Walgreens Drug Store on the site. The City was
ccessful in the court proceeding to have the court order stand. The property owner
,uld like to go through the process one more time if the Commission would intend to
nsider the matter. It would not be this evening. Attorney Cherof said that there
ould be input from the Planning Department, as well as adequate public notice must
provided. There was no representative of the property owner present. Attorney
~erof said the Commission could table the request.
~mmissioner Denahan said she would like to hear fr°m Boynton Beach Leisureville,
~ce the site abuts them.
II Lynch, 1912 SW 16th Avenue, Boynton Beach and President of the Boynton
isureville Association stated that this project came before them once before for a
estanding Walgreen's Drug Store. Mr. Lynch gave a brief history of the property.
ck in 1989 Alhambra North said there would be two medical professional buildings on
,~ property and they would adhere to the City's stipulation for landscaping and
tiering. Mr. Lynch said he has a copy of this stipulation. However, the project fell
ough.
LTWo or three other projects were proposed for the site, but never came to fruition. Mr.
y~nch said when the project was presented to his community, they were in favor of a
W~algreens Drug Store, but with the stipulation that the zoning stayed as C-1. The
p~titioner took the case to court and the court dismissed it. The zoning is still C-1. Mr.
Lynch said they are adamantly opposed to the change of any zoning on the property to
C-3 because if the Walgreens deal falls through, the site would then be available for
anything that would be allowable under C-3 zoning.

Mr. Lynch feels if the City changes the zoning designation, it would be setting a
precedent. Mr, Lynch stated he wished to be present at any future meetings on this
matter to make his opinions known.
COmmissioner Denahan asked Mr. Rumpf what is included in a C-3 zoning designation.
Mi. Rumpf said almost all types of retail uses. Commissioner Denahan asked what is
included in a C-1 zoning. Mr. Rumpf stated this would be strictly limited to offices,
banks, medical, realtors and veterinarians.
Lee Wische, 1302 SW 18th Street remembers what happened in 1989 and he was
Chairman of the Planning and Development Board two to three years ago when the
mStter was presented to his Board. C-1 zoning does not permit a drug store. A drug
store in nothing more than a general store. C-1 permits a pharmacy. The applicant
presented his petition as a drug store and all the back up material referred to a drug
st6re. The Planning and Development Board turned down the petition unanimously.
Mt. Wische said he would never approve changing to a C-3 zone because anyone could
come in and request the same considerations.

2. Update on the Marina Project
:orney Cherof reported that Ocean Breeze Festival Park, the developer has executed
the revised development agreement and the City is in the process of reviewing the
d(~cument to make certain it matches with the previous version provided. Attorney
Cl~erof said he was asked if the Commission would be willing to meet in a Special
Mbeting to hear the points of view of the adjacent property owners. The Two Georges
Restaurant has three lawsuits against the City and is attempting to block the project.
At!orney Cherof feels such a meeting might facilitate a resolution of all the lawsuits.
Msyor Broemng sa~d this was a good idea and there was a consensus among the
COmmissioners that a meeting should be set up.
Xl!. UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
A. Memo on Ocean Ridge Property Association
