Discussion on resolution to change legislation to repeal the
preemption language in the Florida Clean Indoor Air Act and
return to local government the right to enact and enforce
tobacco related ordinances
Linda Donahue ~s a volunteer with the American Heart Association. She advised that
one of the goals of the American Heart Association is to eliminate smoking in
restaurants, or at least regulate it in certain places. The Clean Indoor Act contains a
preemption clause that prohibits local municipalities from passing any ordinances that
are stronger than the State's ordinances. The State Ordinances do not prohibit
smoking ~n restaurants. She asked the Commission to pass a resolution and send it to
the Legislature in support of the municipalities having control over these kinds of
ordinances and repealing the preemption clause in the Clean Indoor Air Act.
Commissioner Bradley pointed out that if this is approved by the Legislature, it would
g~ve the municipalities the latitude to enact stronger laws if they so desire.

motion, which carried 5-0.
C. Charter Changes
City Attorney Cherof distributed a Tentative Adoption and Transition Schedule and the
Proposed Charter Changes. He advised that the City Manager, City Clerk. and he went
through the Charter with an eye towards cleaning it up (dealing with provisions that are
either archaic, replaced by State Constitutional provisions. State Statutes, or County
provisions that take precedent), and also to look at some of the other procedures in
there that they felt. from an administrative point of view, might be worthy of
consideration. These Charter changes would be required to be submitted to the public
n the form of ballot questions.
He reviewed the substantive changes. Section 24. c came into being in 1987 or 1988
and provided that when there is amendment to the future land use element of the
Comprehensive Plan. to pass that would required a super majority of the Commission.
That is not the requirement provided for in Chapter 163 which governs the adoption and
amendment of the Comprehensive Plan, nor is it contained anywhere n the State
Administrative Rules that govern that which are rewewed and managed by the
Department of Community Affairs. He concluded that the requirement for a super
majority vote is an unnecessary restriction on the Commission's legislative authority
under State Law. He stated that there are tremendous safeguards built into the
process of amending any provision of the Comprehensive Plan. It requires public
hearings, notice, review by the Department of Community Affairs. and in many cases
review by the Local Planning Agency and the Regional Planning Agency.
Provision 50 deals with term of office. The following options was provided:
(1)
(2)
Submit to the public a change to three two-year terms (the current is two
two-year terms); or
Have unlimited two year terms. This would increase legislative continuity.
Chapter 72 deals with the Civil Service System and the Civil Service Board. He
recommended replacing the entire Civil Service System with an administrative policy
system (a manual) which he believed would enhance the City's ability to operate more
like a private enterprise and to compete with the private sector. A process was started

four or five years ago to amend the Civil Service Rules and Regulations and the system
itself. Hundreds of changes were proposed because the language of the code dates
back to 1954. ~s archaic, difficult to deal with. and contradictory ~n many respects
Rather than attempt to clean that up. he recommended scraping it and imposing a more
detailed and modern administrative policy manual. The process would still be there for
a grievance. However, rather than going to the Civil Service Board, employees would
end up in front of a hearing officer, somebody who does not work for or at the City (a
third par[y neutral). The hearing officer would conduct the headng that the Civil Service
Board would otherwise conduct, and the findings of fact and recommendations would
be sent to the City Manager in the form of an Order from the Hearing Officer. He felt
that takes out of the process a lot ofthe inherent problems with the Civil Service Board.
If the Commission agrees that these are areas that might be worthy of change, the next
step in the process would be drafting of the appropriate ordinances to submit these
questions to referendum which the Commission~would have to consider on first and
second reading: The public would have a chance to provide their input at the second
reading. In addition, the Tentative Adoption and Transition Schedule contains some
additional and optional public hearing dates and town meetings to discuss this publicly.
There is no general ejection or County-wide election scheduled in November. 1997.
Therefore, it would cost the City abo~ut $20,000 to conduct a special election The next
general election is scheduled for Merch, at which time this could'be put on the ballot at
no additional cost.
If approved. Mice Mayor Titcomb asked how these provisions of the Charter would
affect the present and/or future Commission. City Attorney Cherof stated that the
change would ordinarily take effect immediately. Therefore, any members of the
Commission wt~ose term would be up next March and who would be at the end of a two
term limil would be able to qualify for the March election. However. the Charter
amendment can establish a transition period as well.
Commissioner Tillman requested that prior to the public hearings, the City Attorney's
Office and the City Manager's Officelmake information available to the public explaining
why these amendments are being proposed.
Vice Mayor Titcomb understands that' Commission compensation is a Charter issue.
e inquired about ncreas ng the Comm ss on s compensat on C ty Attorney Cherof

over ten years ago. The Commissioners of other municipalities the same size receive

more than that. A lot of cities have the Commissioner's salaries fixed by ordinance, not
the Charter.
With regard to terms of office, Mayor Taylor felt there should only be one option to
avoid confusion. With regard to Civil Service. he suggested a grandfather clause for
people who are currently employed by the City. City Attorney Cherof pointed out that f
we did this, we would end Ul~ with two systems to administer for a period of time. This
would defeat the objective of making administration easier, more expeditious, and fair.
He wiiJ present two or three different versions of an ordinance for the Commission's
review.
Commissioner Jaskiewicz felt it was too soon to put this on the ballot in November. City
Attorney Cherof advised that it takes almost a full year for the transition from Civil
Service to Administrative Policy.
City Manager Willis advised that staff has looked at administrative procedural manuals.
The City of Coral Springs was set up by a private company under the leadership of
Westinghouse Corporation. They have an extremely comprehensive manua which is
probably more comprehensive than our current system of rules. Furthermore, we have
the additional layer of protection provided by five unions. Therefore, we will not be
[aking our employees _out from under any protective systems that we currently have.
We also have a grievance procedure that is set up separate and apart from the Civil
Service Board or the union protections. Staff is trying to pick the best system and
streamline the process. She felt the most desirable manner in which to proceed is to
pick the best system and apply it to all of the employees and if there is a transitional
schedule, it be limited to a certain amount of time.
There was consensus to direct staff to prepare some ordinances for the Commission's
review.
City Attorney Cherof advised that the cut off date to submit ballot language to the
Supervisor of Elections is september 5, 1997. At the August 5~h meeting, the
Commission w~ill decide whether or not to put this on a ballot in November or March.
Second reading of the ordinance will be held on August 19th. There will be no optional
public hearing 0n July 29th.
Xl. LEGAL
AA, Consideration of amendments to Marina Development Agreement
19
MINUTES
CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
JULY 1,1997
Mayor Taylor advised that he met with the marina people and discussed three items
that the Commission was concern about. These three items appeared to be changes to
the original developer's agreement, and he believes we have reached agreement on
that.
City Attorney Cherof advised that the Commission had approved a developer's
agreement. It was sent to Mr. Garcia for signature and returned with three changes.
The changes were on page 10, in paragraphs 17 and 19. and on Exhibit E.
The change on page 10 was a proposal that when the City's incentive dollars became
due. rather than the City simply acknowledging that it was appropriated, that the funds
be transferred to an escrow. At the last City Commission meeting, City Attorney Cherof
suggested that it was reasonable and consistent with large real estate transactions that
some third party hold the funds. The third parties would be a combination of City
Attorney Cherof and some agent that the developer designates to open a joint account
in which to place those funds. The language that the developer proposed on the
bottom of page 10 will now be found in a more elaborated format on Exhibit I of the
Developer's Agreement. The actual language that City Attorney Cherof suggested
provides that the City will deposit into escrow into a joint account with the City Attorney
and developer's agent, as joint escrow agents, incentive funds in accordance with the
following schedule: 1/3 upon completion of the infrastructure, 1/3 upon completion of
all shells for the buildings, and 1/3 upon the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for
two restaurants, Together with the issuance of Certificates of Occupancy for 75 percent
of the entire project. When those three levels occur, 100 percent of the incentive
dollars will be placed in the escrow.
Then comes the provision for how the developer obtains the money. There ~s a
provision in the agreement that the developer has the option to bond off a lien that the
City will have. The City has a lien for 100 percent of the value of the incentives on this
project. That is a safeguard. In the event the project does not get done, the City is in a
position to be able to foreclose the lien. The developer has the option to bond off that
lien. If the developer bonds off the lien, this is how the City disperses the incentives:
1/3 upon completion of the infrastructure, 1/3 upon completion of the shells, and 1/3
less 10 percent retainage of all the incentives being withheld~ That 1/3. less the 10
percent, is dispersed upon the issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy for two
restaurants, coupled with 75 percent of the project being built out. The 10 percent
retainage is released when there is 100 percent completion of the project.
20
MINUTES
CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
JULYI, 1997
If the developer elects not to bond off the lien, the lien stays ~n place and the developer
goes out of pocket and pays for the incentives upfront. Then he will not receive
disbursemenl for the incentives until 100 percent completion of the project. The term
completion is meant to mean substantial completion as that term is defined in traditional
American Institute of Architects' contracts for substantial completion.
Another change proposed by the developer was to change when the disbursements
would be made, :and City Attorney Cherof incorporated that change into the change he
suggested.
The third issue was on Exhibit E. Mr. Garcia had proposed deleting the following
clause: All parking spaces depicted on the site plan shall be available for use by the
public. However. Mr. Garcia has withdrawn this request and the concept that was
originally approved by the Commission and committed to by the developer that all the
parking spaces on the project will be open to the public in an unrestricted fashio~ will
remain. Therefore, no change is proposed in paragraph 9 of Exhibit E.
The issue of parking ends up being dealt with in one of the proposed ordinances that
are on for reading after the Commission's consideration of the development order. That
provision requires all people within the Central Business District to provide 100 percent
of their required parking on site. If they are unable to do so. [hey could take the benefit
of up to a 50 percent red uction in the number of spaces that they need. However. they
have to leave all of their spaces open so that the entire community ~s a community of
shared parking, except for those people who could put 100 percent of the required
parking on their property. For example,, if the required parking formula requires 100
parking spaces (there is currently a 35 percent reduction), we are proposing that it be
increased to a 50 percent reduction to stimulate growth in the area without the need for
parking. Therefore. a developer or business would be required to provide 50 spaces.
Those 50 spaces must be open to all members of the public in an unrestricted fashion.
except for handioap parking. That comes up for second reading this evening with that
proposed change in it. If the Commission is amenable to the developer's agreement as
now redrafted to reflect the transition of incentive dollars to escrow and then as
disbursements, and no change to the parking concept that alt parking on this project
would be open to the public, the Comm~ssiDn needs to authorize by motion the
Developer's Agreement as redrafted and authorize the mayor to execute it.
Commissioner Jaskiewicz asked who will assume the cost of the improvements to Casa
Loma Boulevard. City Attorney Cherof advised that the cost of the improvement and
the cost of maintaining the improvement is assumed by the developer. Mr. Garcia.
21

CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
JULY 1,1997
Janet HalL. 700 Casa Loma Boulevard, stated that at the very beginning, the marina
project was shy a number of parking spaces. All the parking on Casa Loma Boulevard
was used to help provide adequate parking for the marina. As a property owner on
Casa Loma Boulevard. she requested that the following item be included in the
developer's agreement: 50 percent of the total parking spaces designated on Casa
Loma Boulevard will be counted toward any current and future parking requirements
relative ito adequate properties on the south side of Casa Loma Boulevard. She said
this issue seriously affects the business owners who have contributed to the City,s tax
base for the past 35 years.
Mayor Taylor advised that the developer is not counting any of the parking spaces on
Casa Loma Boulevard towards his parking requirement. The developer has the
required amount of parking spaces on his property, and those spaces are open to the
public.
Ms. Hall asked if the City is abandoning Casa Loma Boulevard. City Attorney Cherof
stated that Casa Loma Boulevard remains a public right-of-way. If the Commission
approves the ordinance which reduces the required parking by 50 percent, then Mr.
Garcia has all the parking he.needs on his own property and does not need any parking
on Casa Loma Boulevard. He stated that Ms. Hall currently needs 98 spaces; however.
if this ordinance is approved, she would only need 49 spaces.
Dee Zibelli, 440 Ocean Parkway, was worried that the City is going to be stuck with the
boat storage and nothing else. She expressed concern about a lawsuit over the boat
storage building and the parking spaces. She was concerned about that the boat
storage building will not be able to withstand high velocity winds.
Harris Marcus 650 Horizons East, commended Mayor Taylor and the other members of
the City Commission for their effort to bring industry, etc.. to this City. However. he
expresse(~ great concern that a boat storage marina ~n this area would create safety
problems. He stated that according to our Code, boat repair is not allowed in this
building. He also expressed concern about washing the boats and about the boat
storage building not being able to withstand a wind velocity of 70 miles an hour. He
was also concerned about fire. He talked a g teat extent about the danger of having a
boat storage facility latent with boats, oil. and gasoline close to St. Mark's School.
City Attorney Cherof advised that there is a specific provision of the development
agreement that requires compliance with all regulatory codes and further states that
22
MINUTES
CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
JULY 1, 1997
nothing in the agreement: which incorporates all of the conditions, constitutes a waiver
of any of the applicable regulations or building codes im posed in the City.
Commissioner Jaskiewicz advised that one of the stipulations that the developer had to
agree with was to retain a fire protection engineer to help design the project to comply
with 39 standards,
Enrico Rossi is an engineer and resident of Boynton Beach. He has designed a
number of projects located in Boynton Beach. He stated that the plan that he has seen
for this project provides for no on-site retention, either pretreatment of stormwater runoff
or retention Normally, these kinds of things require 10 to 15 percent of the total land
area to be put aside for retention. He pointed out that the exfiitration trenches do not
work well. He asked if drainage has been provided for and is encompassed as part of
the master plan. If it is not part of the master plan. the master plan is faulty. If there is
a notion about providing off-site storage of the stormwater runoff on lands provided by
the City, then we start exceeding the $770~000 worth of credits and start getting into
more money to accommodate another project.
Ken Blair is a State General Contractor. He was concerned with the number of
concessions and the amount of money that the City is affording this project. He did not
think the boat storage facility would be good for the economy or the citizens. He
expressed concerns about safety with regard to the traffic. His main concern is that the
amount of money that the developer is',investing has decreased tremendously and the
amount of money that the City is contributing to this project has ~ncreased, even to the
extent of giwng City land to this project. It seemed to him to be a disproportionate
amount of money that is being spent here. He also expressed concern about drainage
problems.
David Katz. 742 N.W. 11~" Street. stated that Mr. Harry MarCUs cares about this City.
He mentioned the safety ~ssues. He pointed out that this project was originally brought
to the City 6 to 8 years ago with a boat storage building that was approximately 20' in
height and was rejected. At that lime, the City told Mr. Garcia to build the whole project
first and then build the boat storage. However, Mr. Garcia said he could not get
financing for that. Now Mr. Garda has come back with a building that is 20' higher and
the City is agreeing to give him three quarters of a million dollars to build something that
we did not want in the first place. He stated that we bring money into the City through
impact fees: yet, the Commission wants to forego over three quarters of a million dollars
n impact fees to Mr. Garcia. who can readily afford it. In addition, Mr. Garcia wants so
much of it upfront that it is absurd. Mr. Katz was against this project because of the
23

CITY COMMISSION MEETING

JULY 1, 1997
giving away of the money. He inquired about the conflict in the agreement and the fire
code. He asked the developer's representatives if the developer plans to do repairs
inside the building, which is against our fire code. He asked if there are going to be any
repairs at all or if there is going to be cleaning of the boats.
Gary Eliopoulos, one of the architect of this project, stated that Mr. Marcus' comments
are well taken and are going to be implemented into the designs. He pointed out that
[he boat storage building is a steel structure and will have fabricated panels within and
another wood structure on top of that. It will withstand 110 mile an hour winds. We
have on our team the number one fire safety engineer ~n the State of Florida. This
building will be totally safe with regard to fire and hurricane withstanding. We have to
meet every code. If we cannot make the-drainage work. we will not do this project. The
boat building is a very expensive structure (about $2 million). To protect this building
the way it needs to be protected, it will be expensive and; it will be done right. The Fire
Marshal will not allow repairs in thesebuildings. The boats will have to be hauled away.
Steve Baugh is on the development team and asked City Attorney Cherof about the
bond and lien against the property. He, thought we were doing the escrow in lieu of
that. City Attorney Cherof advised I~t they tie in together. 'Fhere is st an option. The
lien is the starting point: however, MrS. Garcia has t~e option either to bond it off or to
front the incentives himself. Then different formulas kick in for receiving the, incentives
back. The timing is different depend ng on whether there is a bond, whether he pays
them upfront, or whether he does n~ither.
Mr. Baugh said in order to escrow. Mr. Garcia will have to pay the money and fees, etc.
to the different subcontractors. Afte~b~at, the money will be escrowed and there will be
no need for a bond. City Attorney ;c~er~)f stated that the money w be n an escrow
account until the four stages of deveiopment are reached Mr Baugh asked if this
would eliminate the need for the boad. City Attorney Cherof stated that Mr. Garcia
does not have to post a bond. It is hlsleption. If he posts a bond, there ~s no lien on the
property.
Mr Baugh thought that by escrowing~ the funds, that would alleviate [he need for a
bond. City Attorney Cherof said that/s not true because the City does not have the
control to get those funds back. The objective is to keep the funds intact until the
project is complete.
Bill Skaggs, the new purchaser of the Two Georges, was concerned about the parking
on Casa Loma Boulevard and parking !on site and off site. It appeared to him that the
24

parking requirements are always being changed so that the developer will be able to
meet all the codes. He asked if Mr. Garcia is only required to provide 50 percent of his
parking and if he has to share his parking.
City Attorney Cherof explained that the way the agreement is drafted, if approved by
the City Commission this evening, all of the parking on Mr. Garcia's proper~y will remain
unequivocally open to the public.

Proposed Ordinance No. 097-30 Re: Abolishing the Cemetery
Board
City Attorney Cherof read Proposed Ordinance No. O97-30 by title only.
Tim Hensley, Chairman of the Cemetery Board. spoke against abolishing this board
and consolidating it with the Parks and Recreation Board. He stated that the
cemeteries are hidden jewels in the City and provide a vital, economic, and
psychological need for many residents, particularly the elderly. The cemeteries need to
be very carefully monitored. The City has a special relationship with the Boynton Beach
Mausoleum that needs to be monitored assessed, and controlled at times. He pointed
out that the City will be taking over the mausoleums in the future.
Mr. Hensley said a large amount of money has been set aside to perpetuate the
cemetery when all the lots are eventually sold. which will be within a decade or so.
Past Cemetery Boards and the current Cemetery Board see the importance of that and
do not want to see that money squandered, chipped away, or removed for any other
purpose but to maintain the cemetery.
Frances Cleary, a member of the Cemetery Board commended Sue Kruse for
resolving the difficulty with the Mausoleum. She felt a committee or one of the
Commissioners should watch over the cemetery.
Commissioner Jaskiewicz suggested the functions be taken over by the Board of
Trustees. She felt these important functions should be handled by people who have
experience m that area.
Ms. Kruse advised that the Board of Trustees. which consisted of the City Manager, the
Mayor, and three others, was formed to oversee the fund. However~ they have not met
in several years. The Ceme[ery Board of Governors deals with maintenance, purchase
of new equipment, and day-to-day operations.
Mayor Taylor requested additional information with regard to the members and duration
of the appointments to the Board of Trustees. He felt the Cemetery Board of Governors

Commissioner Jaskiewicz moved to remove this item from the table. Vice Mayor
Titcomb seconded the motion, which carried 5-0.
Tambri Heyden advised that Enclaves 2. 3, 16, 18. 19.21, 22, 23 25. and 26 can only
be annexed by referendum. We attempted to annex enclaves I 4, 5 and 9 through an
interlocal agreement a couple of years ago. We can reattempt this interlocal agreement
n Palm Beach County as we feel they fall under the 10 acre rule.
Since utilities run in front of this Enclave 89, we can attempt an intedocal agreement
using the 10 acre rule. From our experience. Palm Beach County would support this
kind of action. However. the parcel has to be developed. If the parcel is vacant but has
utilities running from it. it can be considered to be developed.
Enclaves 16 and 17 are the Old Dixie Highway area. They have been split into two
areas (the north and south section). We could possibly annex two or three parcels in
Enclave 17 and perhaps offer to waive the fees and have the property owners come
forward on a voluntary basis. However. we would only get two or three parcels this
way. She would not recommend this because it is not worth the effort. Enclave 16 has
to be annexed by referendum. If the Commission desires to do a referendum for some
of the parcels, we can do it for 16 and 17 (the Old Dixie Highway area).
We could attempt to annex enclave 20 under the 10 acre rule; however, based on our
survey, 50 percent of the property owners would oppose. She pointed out that Palm
Beach County tends to back down if they get a lot of opposition.
With regard to enclave 24, we could attempt to negotiate with BE Avionics again. We
have not done that for about three years, tf we are successful in getting them to annex
voluntarily, we can get the other parcels under the 10 acre rule.
Vice Mayor Titcomb asked if there would be a dual referendum or a s~ngle referendum
and at what poinl does the legislative process take over. City Attorney Cherof stated

CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
JULY 1,1997
that there are procedures available for special acts that would eliminate the referendum
process in its entirety.
Commissioner Bradley inquired about the philosophy of the Legislature regarding
annexation. City Attomey Cherof advised that the Legislature mandated that by the
year 2010. all areas that fall within certain categories (enclave areas, fill in areas, areas
Where borders are irregular) that are currently in counties be annexed into
municipalities.
Commissioner Bradley asked if a special act could be used to capture the areas smaller
than 10 acres if we run into opposition. City Attorney Cherof advised that this is
possible.
Commissioner Bradley was in favor of investigating the cost associated with Legislative
action that would bring these parcels in all at once through a special act.
Commissioner Tillman asked City Attorney Cherof to develop a matrix of options prior to
the Commission making a decision.
City Manager Willis asked if'the Commission wanted several options and a stopping
point or if they wanted to go all the way to the annexation reserve area. She pointed
out that we would not be able to service this area now. We would have to discuss a
plan approach to this.
Vice Mayor Titcomb stated that if we are ultimately going to have to go to the Florida
Legislature. it makes sense to go for everything that the City will ultimately project as its
borders and do it all at once. Commissioner Bradley felt this is a lot to take on. City
Manager Willis stated that we could consider taking it all at once but phasing it in over
time.
