Commissioner Denahan asked for clarification as to the scope of this work and reason for these
services being contracted out when the City employs custodial staff.
City Manager Willis explained that we have been in discussion about how to split some of our
work. The Parks Division has been experimenting with some contracting out of services. This
is one of those experiments. The parks involved are in outlying areas. ]:t is more cost effective
to contract out these services. We are also in the process of evaluating other services as well
MEETTNG MZNUTES

such as painting, mowing, and trimming. A cost benefit analysis is being done to determine
whether or not to keep these services in-house and make them more efficient, or whether to
explore further contracting.
Motion
Commissioner Denahan moved to approve. Mayor Pro Tern -rillman seconded the motion.
A member of the audience questioned why this work is being contracted out when the City is
paying employees for this purpose.
Bill DeBeck, Project Manager, explained that this is a renewal of an existing contract. The
contract was rebid competitively this year. Three parks and additional work were added, and
the price decreased by more than $2,000 from last year. In 1995, due to in-house resignations,
a decision was made to contract out these services. These in-house services were costing the
City $85,000 to $90,000. We saved between $30,000 and $40,000 by contracting this work
out. In-house staff attends to all in-house buildings. Staff is satisfied with this company's
performance.
Commissioner Titcomb questioned whether a mechanism exists for City employees to
competitively bid these contracts.
City Manager Willis advised that staff is being retrained so that the Division heads know how to
prepare their own budgets and cost out their cost of services. That training will be expanded to
allow employees to competitively bid these contracts in the future.
Mr. DeBeck further explained that if the City decided to reclaim the work at these parks,
additional employees would have to be hired and additional equipment would have to be
purchased.
The motion carried unanimously.
7. "EXTERIOR PAINTING OF PUBLIC WORKS COMPLEX//1, ~Y2. AND #3
BUILDINGS"- BID #042-192-98/SP - Approve award to ARZ Builders,
Tnc., of Boca Raton, Florida in the amount of $12,300
Commissioner Denahan asked if the same explanation applies for this item that was presented
for :Item B.6.
Mr. DeBeck explained that all major capital painting jobs have been contracted out because the
City has only one painter on staff. Since these jobs are done only once every five years, special
equipment is required that we do not have. It is to our advantage to contract out this service.
Motion
Commissioner Denahan moved to approve Ttem B.7. Mayor Pro Tem Tillman seconded the
motion that carried 5-0.

V. C'rTY MANAGER'S REPORT:
City Manager Willis thanked everyone who participated in the Great Beautiful Palm Beaches
Cleanup. Over 350 people registered and others joined in when they saw the event in
progress. This was an overwhelming response and it made a tremendous difference in the City.
City Manager Willis advised that the Commission was provided with an update of development
projects that are pending including the planned reunion of the original Visions 20/20
Committee. That reunion is tentatively scheduled for June 3r~ at 8:00 a.m. at the United Way
building in Quantum Park. The purpose of the reunion is to revisit the American Assembly
process and tie it back to the Quick Victories programs that were implemented throughout
1996. The event will end with an overview of the Visions 20/20 Master Plan and dialogue about
financing will begin.
The team leadership training began with the executive leadership team and is now branching
down into the organization to cross-train and facilitate communication and cooperation between
divisions. We will be going into budget training for division heads and getting ready to push
levels of responsibility down one layer in the organization.
Mayor Taylor is very pleased about the training that has begun, and believes an organization
that does not train its employees pays a tremendous price.
Commissioner Denahan commended the Explorers for their participation in the program. These
children do not live in Boynton Beach, but worked under the direction of the Fire Department.
She applauded the Fire Department for the work they are doing with these youngsters, and City
employees Dale Sugerman, Scott Blasie, Anthony Simmons and Grady Johnson. Bethesda
Hospital supported this effort under the direction of Bob Taylor. Commissioner Denahan feels
this was an excellent example of working together.
Mayor Taylor expressed his appreciation to everyone who participated.
City Manager Willis acknowledged the presence of the Police Explorers who also participate in
the event.
VZ. PUBL'rC AUDTENCE:
Herb Suss, a new resident of Boynton Beach, objects to the two-term limit for elected officials.
He feels this rule leads to the City losing experienced leaders. He pointed out that any elected
official who is not doing the job could be voted out of office. Mr. Suss also mentioned that he
and his friends go to Boca Raton and Delray Beach for entertainment. He asked if the City of
Boynton Beach is planning development of downtown.
Mayor Taylor recommended that Mr. Suss attend the upcoming CRA workshop meeting to see
what the City plans for the downtown area.

Frank Combariati feels the voters of this City voted down the term limit question several
times. He questioned why the Commissioners are putting this issue back on the ballot for the
citizens to vote it down again.
Ron Washam, 112 South Atlantic Drive, advised that a very successful board summit was
held at City Hall in the Hall. The Senior Advisory Board and Community Relations Board
discussed several problems and solutions to items of concern. Hr. Washam urged everyone to
attend the upcoming Youth in Government Day. The Community Relations Board works with
staff to put this event together and get the schools involved. Hr. Washam reminded the
Commissioners that they are aware of his feelings about the term limit issue. He feels the
voters have made their feelings clear.
William Murphy, of Seagate of Gulfstream Condominiums, advised that 50 members of
the community were present in the audience to oppose the attempt to extend the term limits of
the Commissioners. This issue has been defeated four times. He questioned how many times
the voters must say no on this same issue.
Angela Budano, member of the Board of Directors of the Greater Boynton Beach
Chamber of Commerce, introduced herself to let the Commissioners know the Chamber was
represented at this meeting and cares about what happens in this community.
Charlie Fisher, 8069 Stirrup Cay Court, feels this Commission does an excellent job.
However, the question of term limits in not about this Commission. Tt is a question of whether
or not the citizens want limits. This is not a question of the quality of the job being done. He
urged the Commissioners to reexamine the issue.
Frank Lindsay resides in a condo complex of 152 units and is active in another condo unit of
570 units. Of all of the people he has spoken with, less than 10% of the people will vote to
allow the Commissions to have constant ungoverned terms of office. The residents are
opposed to it and he will work to make sure the issue is defeated.
George Weide, 2389 SW 9th Avenue, believes there should be term limits. This issue has
been voted on several times and the citizens want term limits. Hr. Wiede pointed out that
people are urged to vote because their votes count. However, he feels the voters' votes count
only when it goes the way the Commissioners want it to go. He feels that if this is the type of
government this City is going to have, perhaps everyone should be voted out of office. While it
is true that an incumbent can be voted out of office, it rarely happens. The incumbents get the
money and have the most coverage in the press. In his opinion, anyone holding office should
be ashamed to ask the voters to extend their terms in office. He feels it is morally and ethically
incorrect to ask this of the voters.
Bob Borovy, 2521 SW 11th Street, was insulted by Mr. Weide's remarks. He does not feel
he should be denied the right to vote for the people he wants in office. He does not believe we
should have term limits. He feels them is a moral obligation to let people vote and not to "kick
peOple out in the street" because of term limits,

Mayor Taylor admitted that this question has been brought to the public on several occasions in
the past and each time it was voted down. However, in the past election, the question failed by
63 votes. The majority of the people who voted wanted to keep term limits. Since that
election, he has received requests from groups of people who would like to see this issue put
on the ballot again. According to the remarks heard this evening, those groups of people who
want the question on the ballot again are in the minority. Mayor Taylor feels the opposers of
this issue should not fear seeing this question on the ballot again because they will defeat it
easily. Mayor Taylor reminded the public that it is his job to listen to the minority as well as
others. Mayor Taylor said he is pro-unlimited terms and his support of this issue does not have
anything to do with his being elected.
Vice Mayor ]askiewicz advised that there were at least 10 names she could mention that were
voted out of office after two years. She feels that if a Commissioner is doing a good job, that
person will be reelected. If not, the person will be voted out. She feels a choice is necessary.
Mayor Taylor pointed out that he defeated an incumbent and two former Mayors.
Attorney Kezrol advised that the purpose fOr the Executive Session is covered under 286.1011
Florida Statutes to discuss the City of Boynton Beach vs. Betty Willingham, Case #90-08156. In
attendance will be the members of the City Commission, Assistant City Attorney Kerry Ezrol,
City Manager Kerry Willis, and special :counsel Rusty Roberts. This session will last
approximately 30 minutes.
Attorney Ezrol advised that the private session to discuss the litigation is governed under
Section 286. When that meeting is concluded, the regular City Commission meeting will be
reconvened for the purpose of concluding the private session, and then the Executive Session
will be convened.
The regular meeting was recessed at 7:25 p.m. to discuss the Willingham case. The regular
meeting reconvened at 8:10 p.m. and immediately recessed to Executive Session to discuss
collective bargaining issues. The regular meeting reconvened at 8:29 p.m.

(POSTPONED TO 4/2.~/98 CITY COMMISSZON MEETZNG)
Mayor Taylor announced that the Planning & Development Board, with a vote of 4-3,
recommended approval of this application.
Attorney Ezrol administered the oath to all who would testify in these proceedings.
~[n response to Mayor Taylor, Richard Sovinsky, advised that he did not disagree with any of
the conditions of approval. He reported that during the Planning & Development Board
meeting, the applicant was requested to reduce the height of the building to 20'. The applicant
has fulfilled that requirement. He further reported that a fence will be erected along the L-26
canal even though it does not appear on the elevations at this time. The fence is depicted on
the floor plans.
Ms. Heyden advised that this is a request for a conditional use. This request requires review
against 12 conditional use standards. The applicant has met all of the conditions and staff
recommends approval of this project.
Bill Lynch, 1912 SW 16th Avenue, is president of Boynton Leisureville Community
Association. During the Planning & Development Board meeting, he objected to the height of
the structure at 36'. Because the applicant has reduced the height of the structure to 20;
Boynton Leisureville will support the project.
Vice Mayor .laskiewicz expressed concerns about the location of the kitchen and the loading
zone in front of the building. This loading zoning will face a residential home.
Mr. Sovinsky explained that a wall will block the view of the loading area.
Vice Mayor .laskiewicz reminded Mr. Sovinsky that the wall cannot be higher than 6'. Tn
addition, the dumpster would be visible from the street. This plan is not acceptable for those
reasons. Vice Mayor .laskiewicz questioned why the size of the originally approved plan was
increased and why there is no set timing for the construction of the gazebo. Vice Mayor
.laskiewicz feels there is not enough recreational outdoor area to accommodate the number of
people for this facility. Vice Mayor .laskiewicz questioned why the applicant did not plan the
gazebo and administration building for the front of the project and move the kitchen and
loading area in the rear.
Tn response to Mayor Taylor, Mr. Sovinsky said the dumpster would be enclosed. He further
added that the Planning & Development Board did not raise any questions about the location of
the dumpster or the loading area.
Mayor Pro Tem Tillman inquired if it woui'd be possible for the applicant to reconfigure this
project. Mr. Sovinksy explained that the reason for locating these services on the outside of the
project is that the project including the administration building turns inward on a courtyard (The
Palm Walk). The Palm Walk part of this project is in an easement.

Mayor Pro Tem 'nllman asked if the project could be reconfigured so that the kitchen is located
in the rear with the administration building in the front. The delivery trucks could be brought in
from the rear to service the building. He further recommended dropping the dock. Mr.
Sovinsky advised that the trucks could enter from the rear; however, the kitchen needs to be in
the living facility.
Mayor Taylor questioned whether there would be landscaping around the wall that separates
the residents from this project. The applicant respOnded affirmatively.
Mr. Sovinsky explained that the applicant's intention was to enter into the administration
building in the rear of the project where the parking is located. When the people leave the
administration building, they will enter the living facility under a canopy from the rear.
Commissioner Titcomb noted that the landscaping in front of the wall in the kitchen area would
include Ficus religiosa. He asked how tall the plant will be at maturity. Mr. $ovinsky was
unable to respond and offered to secure that information from the landscape architect.
Vice Mayor .laskiewicz reiterated that she! would not support this project with the kitchen,
loading area and dumpster in front of the building.
Mr. Sovinsky offered to try to revise the reconfiguration. However, he requested an opportunity
to review the history of the project.
Mayor Taylor offered to table this application until the next meeting to offer the applicant an
opportunity to address these concerns. Mayor Taylor feels this is a good project, but it is
important that it is adaptable to the neighborhood. Mr. Sovinsky agreed to look into the history
of the project and to try to make the project more compatible with the neighborhood.

Mike Zemen, representinq Kennedy Homes, acknowledged the fact that this project had
been before the City Commission on several occasions. He pointed out, however, that this is
the first time Kennedy has been before the Commission.
The condition placed on this property of 2,400 square feet minimum under air, and 2,600
square feet average was to keep the zoning and structure of the existing property surrounding
the Hills of Eden. He displayed renderings of the homes in the project. The four different
models are priced from $180,000 to $220,000. When Kennedy was in the process of
purchasing the property, the representatives were told how to configure the homes and what
would be considered "under air" square footage. The Ordinance states that 25% of the
covered areas and 50% of garage areas are considered air-conditioned square footage. The
models were designed in accordance with that criteria. Permitting turned down the project for
not meeting the PUD requirements. Using the calculations, the smallest model under air is
2,589 square feet, and 3,223 for the high average. This will result in 2,773 square feet if each
of the models is built.
To meet the requirements of the plat, the developer could build two-story homes on Swinton
and Seacrest. This would allow enough square footage on the lot to build a pool and screen
enclosure as well. However, Kennedy Homes does not feel this would enhance the
neighborhood.
Tn researching the area, Kennedy Homes found that there are 27 homes in the Lake Eden
Subdivision. Of those homes, the average square footage is 2,316 square feet of living area
(10% screened areas, 25% covered areas, and 50% of garage). Mr. Zemen explained that
given the lot restrictions, it is virtually impossible for the developer to include a pool or screen
enclosure. He pointed out that there is no common pool on this site. Therefore, in order to be
able to sell to the public, the developer must be able to offer the option of pools and screen
enclosures. Tn addition to giving the customers what they want, these options will drive the
price of the homes up by a minimum of $20,000. Lots #1-8 are the only lots in the subdivision
with side setbacks of 10'. Reducing the side setbacks on Lots #1-8 to 71/2' rather than 10' will
enable the developer to fit several more hoUses with pools. If the rear setback is reduced from
25' to 20; two additional models can be fit with pools.
IVlr. Zemen concluded by stating that the Hills at Lake Eden is a private, walled community.
Changing the side and rear setbacks will not impact the surrounding residents in the area. The
reduced setbacks will not be noticeable, Mr. Zemen thanked the Commission for the
opportunity to be heard.
Tambri Heyden, Planning and Zoning Director, reported that the -IRC recommends approval of
the changes for a number of reasons. This project came before the City Commission as a
master plan and rezoning approval. Tt was a lengthy process and the applicant had to make
modifications. When the approval went through, the applicant came back in for a reduction in
the minimal living area and average living area. That request was different from this current
14
MEETTNG MTNUTES
REGULAR CTTY COMMZSS'rON MEET'rNG
BOYNTON BEACH~ FLORI'DA
APRZL 21~ 1998
request. When the condition was added to place a minimal dwelling size and minimal average
dwelling size on this project, it was something that was never done before for any other PUD.
A terminology of "living area under air" was used. This terminology does not exist in our
Zoning Code. We allow portions of garages and screen enclosures to be counted toward the
minimum living area. This project was evaluated under a different methodology and they were
not allowed to use that 25% to reach the minimum living area requirement. When this
condition was put in place, no one knew it was not realistic. When staff sat down with the
applicant, it became obvious that they had a problem.
This current request is less than what was requested in the past and it is less than what they
came into City with this time. They minimized the nature and scope of their request and the
chart in Exhibit "C" illustrated that two of the four units do not meet the minimal dwelling unit
size. One model is 149 square feet short (12' x 12" room) and the other is only 67 square feet
(8' x 8' room) short of the minimum.
Ms. Heyden is fearful that if this request is denied, the following two things will happen:
1. There will be two-story homes along Seacrest Boulevard and Swinton Boulevard.
Lakeview Baptist Church submitted a letter to the Planning & Zoning Department registering
their concern about the difference in elevations between their property and this project. This
project has a very high natural elevation. Putting two-story units on the outside of this project
will create a big visual impact on the surrounding communities.
When staff does not require a developer to provide setbacks at the time of
master plan approval for screen enclosures, the developer builds and sells the
units. Then the homeowners request permission to build the screen enclosures
and they cannot understand why staff denies their requests.
Ken DeRousse, 800 Horizons West, noted that the applicant was requesting a rear setback
reduction from 29' to 20' and a side yard setback reduction from 10' to 71/2'. These are 30%
and 25% reductions in the minimum requirements. He recommended that the Commission
consider a minimum because in 20 years, this area might not look well and might be devalued
because these areas do not meet the minimum standards. He urged the Commissioners to
have the developer adhere to the minimum requirements under the Ordinance.
Vice Mayor .laskiewicz feels most of the request is reasonable and believes the homes will be an
asset to the area. However, she recommended that the developer eliminate one of the houses
on Lots #! through 8 in order to increase the size in between the homes. The remaining
homes would not be affected in any way.
Mr. Zemen said all infrastructure is in place including water, telephone and FPL. The project is
already under construction and two homes have been established with setbacks on Lots #1 and
#2, All homes have been designed according to the criteria. The homes would have to be
redesigned in order to make them wider.

Mr. Zemen questioned why one side of the subdivision is different from the other side of the
subdivision. He pointed out that directly across the street from this project is a home with a
screen enclosure that is less than 20' from the street. The Hills at Lake Eden will have a wall in
front of it that is set back 17' from the street with landscaping behind it, and still must maintain
an additional 25' before a screen enclosure can be constructed. Mr. Zemen feels this situation
is extreme, and the residents of the surrounding communities are imposing conditions on this
developer that were not imposed on them.
Mayor Pro Tem Tillman recalled this project coming before the City Commission previously. He
feels the new owner has enhanced the development. He would not want to see two-story
homes on Swinton and Seacrest. He can understand the reason for the request to reduce the
setbacks, and he will support the request.
Commissioner Titcomb advised that when he was a member of the Planning & Development
Board, this project was unanimously denied. After that, Mr. Pinto negotiated the conditions of
this project before the Commission with representatives of Kennedy Homes in the audience.
Many of the things that were promised in this process have not come to fruition. The preserve
strips are minimal and are a sorry example of a preserve. :in Commissioner Titcomb's opinion,
this project is "three pounds of poop in a two pound bag". :in order to meet the conditions of
approval, the simple solution to this problem is to eliminate four or five lots. This project was
negotiated. Although Commissioner Titcomb believes the amenities the developer would like
would enhance the project, he will not support the request because a deal was made on record
and he will not change his mind. Commissioner Titcomb recommends reconfiguring this project
to meet the original conditions. Commissioner Titcomb reminded the Commissioners that the
developer (Kennedy Homes) was present when these conditions were negotiated. He
recommends that the conditions remain intact and if the developer cannot meet those
conditions, he needs to reconfigure the project.
Commissioner Denahan questioned whether the request being made by the applicant involved
variances. Mr. Zemen explained that these requests are master plan changes. Ms. Heyden
explained that PUDs are unique. Setbacks are set by the master plan and are modified by a
master plan modification. :in a non-PUD, this process is done on a case-by-case basis and a
variance application is filed.
:In Mayor Taylor's opinion, what the developer has presented is the best of the worst the
Commission had seen. He has not liked this project from the beginning because it is crammed
onto the parcel and there is no recreation. The preserve areas are not well thought out and he
believes that within two or three years, the strips will be nonexistent. This City Commission has
had many discussions about upgrading housing in the community and raising the size of the
home. He is not comfortable being asked to consider garages as living area. He is opposed to
reducing the minimums and realizes that a side yard setback of 71/2, is very close to the next
door neighbor. Mayor Taylor will not support this request.
Vice Mayor .laskiewicz expressed concern that if the Commission would not grant the request,
the developer would probably build two-stOry homes on Seacrest and Swinton. Although she
would not support the applicant's request to reduce the side yard setback to 71/2; she would
support the reduction in the rear setback to allow for pools and screen enclosures.

Mawr Taylor expressed concern about being held hostage over two-story buildings.
Mayor Pro Tem 'l~llman felt the biggest problem with this project is the number of homes
proposed. From the beginning, the Commission has been held hostage. Mayor Pro Tem
Tillman does not want the walling off effect of the two-story homes. He realizes that good
minimum setbacks cannot be put in place because of the size of this project.
Motion
Commissioner 'ritcomb moved to deny the request for rezoning the master plan. Commissioner
Denahan seconded the motion.
Vice Mayor .laskiewicz advised that she would support the request for denial if the applicant is
not willing to eliminate his request for the sideyard setback. Mr. Zemen said he would eliminate
that request in order to obtain approval of the remainder of the request. He reminded
everyone that the sideyard setbacks in the remainder of the project are already 71/2'. The
setbacks are 10' on the Swinton side only.
When discussion ensued about square footages and sizes, Commissioner Titcomb pointed out
that similar arguments had taken place in the past on numerous occasions. The solution is to
take another look at the big picture to see if there is a more creative approach to solving the
problem rather than reducing everything to the minimum. Commissioner Titcomb reminded Mr.
Zemen about the specific language in the agreement that referenced 2,400 square feet under
air. The original developer agreed to that language. This issue was controversial and an
agreement was made. If the current developer cannot adhere to the agreement, the entire
project should be reopened to reconsideration.
Vice Mayor .laskiewicz explained that Mr. Pinto accepted the criteria which was set in order to
gain approval for the project. The Commissioners were unaware Mr. Pinto was selling the
property.
Commissioner Titcomb said he felt at the time that Mr. Pinto might be selling the property.
However, it was Mr. Pinto's desperate effort to get approval of the project. Commissioner
'ritcomb pointed out that there is already product in the ground. At this point, a "tweaking"
process is needed in order for the developer to meet the conditions of the agreement.
The motion carried 4-1. (Vice Mayor .laskiewicz dissented.)
When the applicant asked if this request could be tabled, Attorney Ezrol advised that the
Commissioner who voted in favor of the item could make a motion to reconsider the request.
Motion
Vice Mayor .laskiewicz moved to reconsider. Mayor Pro Tem 'l~llman seconded the motion.

Attorney Ezrol read proposed Ordinance No. O98-13 by title only.
Motion
Vice Mayor .laskiewicz moved to approve. Commissioner '[itcomb seconded the motion.
Vice Mayor .laskiewicz said she is totally in favor of placing this on the ballot in November. She
has been receiving numerous telephone calls from people who regretted not voting in the
March election. However, she is concerned for the people who feel the terms should be
capped. She reiterated that this issue was never placed on the ballot for unlimited terms. Tn
the past, the ballot language always involved specific term limits. Vice Mayor .laskiewicz
requested that the Commission consider four two-year terms so that Commissioners will have
eight years to get a job done.
Mayor Taylor said he would not support term limits because he was asked to put the issue of
unlimited terms on the ballot.
Mayor Pro Tem Tillman said his position from the beginning was the people should vote and the
Commissioners should follow through. He recommends maintaining consistency and putting the
issue of unlimited terms on the ballot.
Commissioner Denahan is concerned about public perception and concurs with many of the
comments that were made although she feels four two-year terms is a good suggestion. She
pointed out that one of her campaign promises was to support whatever the electorate decided.
Although she is personally in favor of changing the term limits, she must stand on her
reputation. Therefore, she will not support putting the same wording back on the ballot six
weeks after her election. ~
Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz does not believe there was a true expression of the people of Boynton
Beach during the last election, nor does she feel 63 votes was a mandate. Commissioner

Denahan agreed that 63 votes was a small margin, but felt the unlimited terms issue is what
brought the voters out to the polls. She would be in favor of capping the terms at four two-
year terms. She will not support unlimited terms because the voters do not want them.
Commissioner Titcomb felt the :[4% turn out at the polls was pathetic. With respect to the
issue of terms limits, Commissioner Titcomb advised that the legal department has advised that
he can run for another term. Therefore, no matter what his opinion is on this issue, he will
either appear self-serving or trying to climb the ladder. His personal feelings on the matter are
that people deserve the choice to make decisions. He has a problem with people being thrown
out of office after a certain number of years. A two-year term gives the electorate the right to
go to the polls and exercise their rights to make decisions. He feels it is a lazy solution to
arbitrarily impose term limits. He further pointed out that cities and states cannot get on the
same page with regard to this issue. He has a great deal of faith in the voters and he supports
putting this issue of unlimited two-year terms on the ballot in November.
Vice Mayor .laskiewicz reminded everyone that she was part of a task force formed by Henrietta
Solomon to study the issue of term limits. That task force met monthly for a period of a year
and consisted of former mayors, officials and citizens. Comparisons were made of other cities
and the task force was unable to find another city in the State of Florida that had two two-year
term limits. These kinds of limits hurt continuity. This Commission has worked very hard on a
vision the citizens want for this City. Vice Hayor .]askiewicz said it would hurt her to see that
plan on a shelf three years from now. She will support four two-year terms or unlimited terms.
Only Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz and CommissiOner Denahan were willing to support four two-year
term limits. Therefore, Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz advised that she would withdraw her suggestion
and support unlimited term limits,
Discussion ensued and the following changes were made to Page 3 of 4 of this Ordinance:
Eliminate the first sentence that reads:
is limited to two, two-year terms".
"Currently an elected official
The new language should read as follows:
"The length of each term would remain at two (2) years. The
number of terms an elected official could hold would not be
limited. This amendment of the City Charter would eliminate the
current two-term limit on holding elected office."
