City Manager Sugerman advised that he and the Finance Director. Diane Reese, came to
[he conclusion that it would be best to reject the one and only bid that we received for
approximately $100,000.00. City Manager Sugerman has experience doing utility tax and
franchise fee audits. As an alternative to going back out for bid, he offered to train City
staff to do this, which would cost the City almost nothing.

IV. CITY MANAGER'S REPORT
A. Update on the Visions 20/20 Project
City Manager Sugerman distributed a memorandum from Tambri Hoyden, Director of
Plann ng and Zoning, regarding staff's review of the planning consultants who have
submitted proposals to the City to he p us p an the V sions 20/20 process. A total of eight
proposals were rece ved. It ii our obligation to recommend to the Task Force five firms
and they, in turn, are supposed to recommend three to the Commission, who will select
on e of them, Staff (Da e Sugerman, Tambri Heyden, Todd Kotas (Economic Development
Director), and Wilfred Hawkins (Assistant to the City Manager)) ranked the eight firms, as
shown on the lastpage of the memo, This memo contains staff's recommendation and
shows each of the f rm s b
ackgrounds and how staff ranked them. This report will be sent
to the Task Force on Thursday to ~1o a final ranking for the Commission. Once the final
ranking is done, staff will ask the finalists to make presentations before the Commission
Robert Hill, Chairman of the Visions 20/20 Task Force, was a little chagrined that City
Manager Sugerman distributed this report. He advised that at their last meeting, the Task
Force asked Ms. Heyden and Mr. Kotas not to prejudice them by providing staff's rankings.
The Task Force wanted to review the information, interview the firms, and then have an
open forum and an:open mind to make their own rankings. He felt the Commission and
the Task Force are now going to be bias.
Over the past several months, the Task Force has been working very closely on the public
safety concerns that were raised duri.ng the planning process. The Boynton Beach
Visioning Prececss identified appreximate)y 31 var ous comments regarding how to im rove
public safety issues within the City. Over,the last several months, the Task Force has~een
examining these issues in detail and getting input from Police Chief Marshall Gage
regarding how he is addressing these issues and how he plans to address them in the
future. The Task Force reached three conclusions:
The overriding message that had been expressed by the Vision Planning Process
is that the Police Department needs to improve its relationship with the community
residents, particularly with the various ethnic groups that reside within our City.
The improvement in these relationships s not somethin th
, . g at we should expect to
happen overnight. However, with the proper leadership and oversight by the upper
management of the City, the Commission, and the Police Chief, we should see
gradual improvement over time.
MINUTES
REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
JANUARY 7, 1997
The Task Fome was pleasantly surprised to hear from Chief Gage of the many
programs that are presently in place to address these ~ssues, as well as some that
he would like to get off the drawing board and proceed to address some of these
issues.
Having come to these three conclusions, the Task Force felt that the following four actions
would assist the Department in improving its relationship with the community:
The Task Force would like to work with Chief Gage to design and implement a
survey process that will assess the public's true perception of the Boynton Beach
Police Department, and give an unbiased survey process that would provide Chief
Gage with good information on what the community is really feeling.
Continue and increase the frequency of the open community forums that Chief
Gage has been having over the last several months with the community.
Furthermore. the Task Force wants to impress upon the Commission and City
Management the importance of the .Commission and the City Manager's Office
having representation at all those meetings with Chief Gage.
We also felt it was very mportant that attendance by Police Officers at
neighborhood ~ssociation and community meetings be reported, monitored, and
ongoing by the,Chief. In the long run, these type of settings can help build stronger
trusting relationships.
The City needS to develop some type of newsletter or communication tool to inform
the Task Force of the steps taken to address the issues during the planning
process.
Mr. Hill stated that the:Task Fome was pleased to hear what Chief Gage and his staff were
doing to improve the Department's image. The members of the Task Force were unaware
of many of the efforts that were underway within the Police Department. If the Task Force
was unaware of this, the majority of the public is probably unaware of this. The Task Force
felt that if a majority of:the people were made aware of this by some type of communication
(newsletter, etc.), then their perception of the Police Department might be different.
Mr. Hill said the Police Department has other programs going on that the residents need
to know about, such as the expansion of the Community Policing effort, establishing
various police substations in various areas throughout the community, a truancy
interdiction program, etc.

Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz referred to a newsletter from another City and advised that the
Commission has previously discussed enclosing a newsletter with utility bills. Mr. Hi]
stated that the Task Force has talked to the Chamber of Commerce about including a
police update in their newsletter.
Mayor Taylor stated that it is amazing how much is going on in the Police Department that
people are probably not aware of. A police officer has been attending his homeowners'
association meetings for 'months. The community loves that kind of involvement from the
Police Department. He commended the Police Department for doing a tremendous job.
He felt we have some great officers who show what this Police Department is all about.
They also attend Some of the award banquets for the Citizens on Patrol Program. They
are really involved in the community, and the commun ty is getting to know them. He
stated that perhaps we are not getting the word out ke we should and we need to look at
that. He aisc ~elt the Task Force has been doing a lot of work that people may not be
aware of.
Mayor Taylor mentioned that we are planning to develop the Martin Luther King Boulevard
area, and hire a planning consultant for the downtown. The Planning and Zoning
Department is planning overlay projects. He expressed the need for everyone to
corem Jnicate with each other to coordinate their efforts.
Mr. Hill agreed but pointed out that the City has to continue to move forward and cannot
stop the programs that are in progress. He stated that the overall planning consultant that
will be hired is not just supposed to help us design the downtown. We have a bigger
perspective and should take in all the areas that were mentioned during the Visioning
Process. We have to coordinate an overall plan of the entire community. Then the
individual effods that have been going on should try to dovetail into the overall plan. The
Task Force would require the consultant who is hired to make sure he gets information
from the other people and dovetails their though1 processes into the overall grand plan.
Commissioner Bradley commended the Task Fome for working hard. He appreciated their
time and effort. However, he had a concern that there may be a tendency to micro
manage. He was concerned that the Task Force might hunt down topics or look for the hot
issues. He was interested in a regimented:process. He was surprised to hear Mr. Hill talk
about public safety because he had not heard it before tonight.
Mr. Hill said the Task Force took its charge as addressing all the issues that were
addressed in the Visioning Process. There were five to seven major categories, and the
Task Force prioritized them. The planning process was number one and public safety was

number two. They felt the biggest thing they could do for the City is come up with a grand
development plan for the community. However, one of the other hot items in this
community is the community's perception of the community relations of the Police
Department. Therefore, while the Task Force was waiting for th6 RFPs to come back to
get a consultant on board to work with all of us, they felt they should address the second
issue. They do not want to micro manage the Police Department or the City. They felt it
would be good for the Task Force to help the Police Department design the survey so that
the community cannot accuse the Police Department of jury-rigging the information. They
want to spend their time working with the consuftant and City staff to come up with an
overall grand plan that they can take to the community in the next several months and ask
for their help to make Boynton Beach took like the vision that was developed.
This wasthe first time Commissioner Bradley heard that the Task Force prioritized the
issues. Mr. Hill advised that during his first report to the Commission, he reported that the
Task Force had prioritized. Mayor Taylor advised that this came out in written form to the
Commission about seven months ago. He suggested it be redistributed to the members
of the Commission.
Commissioner Bradley referred to Ms. Heyden's memo and asked why staff suggested that
the Task Force and the Commission consider interviewing only once. City Manager
Sugerman said staff was concerned that it would be a little unfair to some of the firms to
do afu I blown proposal in front of the Task Force only to turn around and be asked to do
another full blown proposal in front of the Commission. Whoever goes last in front of the
Commission has an advantage that no one else has. Ms. Heyden added that there were
clearly three firms that stood out far and above the rest. Therefore, staff felt there may not
be a need to have the consultants go througn another interview process. A couple of firms
advised her that there is quite a significant cost associated with putting a proposal together
and going through two interviews.
Mr. Hill stated that it was previously settled with the past City Manager and Ms. Heyden
that these people would be required to make two presentations-one to the Task Force and
one to the Commission. He felt the Task Force should participate fully and give its
recommendation after a fu review of ts own unbiased evaluation of the consultants.
Mayor Taylor did not see how the process could be considered unfair, unless the
cor~sultants sat in on each other's presentations. Mr. Hill stated that the consu tants are
going to knowwhat their ranking was from the City staff. It is now public information and
some of the consultants may not even want to show up now. The Task Force specifically
directe~ staff at th6 last meeting not to tel the Task Force their ranking.
MINUTES

BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
JANUARY 7, 1997
Ms. Heyden advised that staff felt that the Commission would benefit from the ranking.
With regard to the fairness issue, she clarified that some firms took a lot of time to put their
proposals together, and others did not. It seems unfair to be given an opportunity to fill in
the gaps during the interview with things that should have been in the proposal.
Mayor Taylor did not have a problem with benefiting from staff's input; however, he asked
why the nput was presented when there was obviously an agreement that it would not be
provided until the Task Force ,interviewed the consultants. Having gotten involved in the
process very late, City Manager Sugerman was not sure that this commitment was made.
Mr. Hill pointed outthat two of.City Manager Sugerman's staff people were at that meeting·
They were the ones he was expecting to get support from and work very closely with
throughout this entire process once'we decided on a consultant.
City Manager Sugerman pointed out that the final determination is really made by the City
Commission and he was not sure how important to the consultants the staff's ranking is.
He felt the consultants would want a shot al making their case and not just let their
proposals speak for themselves.
Mayor Taylor felt we could benefit from the Task Force's input· He pointed out that there
are a variety of individuals on the Task Force thai are going to look at it from a much
different aspect than staff· He said the consultants ought to know that no decision has
been made and that staff's ranking may be different than the Task Force's and the
Commission's.
Mike Friedland, 330 N.E. 26th Avenue, felt the misunderstanding is unfortunate; however,
we must proceed. He said it is a matter of opinion and he did not think there would be any
problem·
Mayor Taylor stated that the Commission will look at the proposals with open minds, and
will Value both staff's and the Task Force's recommendations,
Commission Appointment to City Manager's Minority Recruitment
Action Team
City Manager Sugerman advised that he has formed an action team on the issue of
minority recruitment for the Police Department. He asked the Commission to appoint one

Commission perspective. The first meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, January 15th,

The Commission agreed to schedule this meeting for January 28th at 6:30 p.m. at City Hall

D. Consideration of changing an employee holiday in 1997
City Manager Sugerman advised that Christmas Day fails on a Thursday this year.
Normally~ the employees are off on Christmas Eve Day and Christmas Day. Some of the
employees have asked if they could have off the day after Christmas this year, instead of
Christmas Eve Day, so that they could have a long weekend~
Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz felt it is almost sacrilegious to make someone work on Christmas
Eve and suggested that the employees be allowed to leave early on that day as wel
However, Mayor Taylor pointed out that this may interfere with the Civil Service Rules and
perhaps the Unions.
Mayor Taylor pointed out that some employees may prefer having Christmas Eve Day off.
He suggested that City Manager Sugerman find out how the majority of the employees feel
about this.
Item for discussion requested by Commissioner Tillman - FAMU Band
Update
Mr. Hawkins advised that the logistics of bringing the band here did not work out.
However, the band director committed to setting a date aside for next year. Since we are
not able to bring the band here this year, the Black Awareness Day Committee would like
to upgrade the entertainment for Black Awareness Day on February 15, 1997. Normally,
the Recreation Department concentrates on local entertainment. This year, we would like
to bring in some nationally known groups. It would cost about $18,000.00 to bring in a
national recording artist who can help attract a cross section of the community and a larger
audience.
Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz asked if the Committee will raise the funds and reimburse the City.
Mr. Hawkins explained that '[he Committee always raises money for BlaCk Awareness Day,
MINUTES
REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
JANUARY 7, 1997
and the City contributes $3,000.00. It takes $10,000.00 to put on this event. Therefore,
the rest of [he money has to be raised. If the City is willing to help upgrade the
entertainment and make $18,000.00 available to the Committee, the Committee will try to
raise the money to meet that goal.
Mayor Taylor stated that he was a hesitant approving the loan to bring the FAMU band
here because he felt it would be setting a precedent. In addition, the Committee was trying
to pull it off in a very short time. He was deeply concern ed about the City setting itself up
as a lending institution. He felt events like this should be planned well in advance and that
the money should be raised. He pointed out that the City has worked with the Committee
in the past to do Black Awareness events to some point, but there is a line to be drawn.
We are talking about serious money and we do not know much, except that it ~s to be used
to upgrade the entertainment.
Commissioner Tillman asked how much money the City spends on the TNT concerts.
Charles Frederick, Recreation and Park Director, advised that we run somewhere between
$1,500 and $2,000 per event in expenditures. This comes out of the Program Revenue
Fund, not the General Fund. It is out of the revenues that we generated through recreation
fee programs. The fees that we take in pay for various programs throughout the City, and
that happens To be one of them that the Commission has been willing to authorize. This
includes insurance.
Commissioner Titcomb would like to see a business plan and sponsorships before
committing to an amount of money of that size. He would also like the name of the
performer so that we know what kind of draw we are dealing with. He was supportive of
the FAMU Band because that had a different characteristic to it as an entertainment venue
rather than a commercial professional performer.
Commissioner Bradley stated that the FAMU Band, which he strongly was in favor of, is
the kind of event and entertainment that he felt is modeling the right thing for school kids.
He did not think you could model anything better than college for youngsters. He thinks
the Black Awareness Day Committee does a lot of hard work and he encouraged these
type of committees to keep going, even if it means putting extra dollars into it. However,
he would like to see a plan and what they specifically have in mind. He asked if the
Committee is going to raise more money if the City puts more money ~n. He also asked
about sponsors. He thinks the effort and endeavor should go into nailing down the FAMU
band for next year.

Mr. Hawkins stated that we run Black Awareness Day as a special event. The Recreation
Department assigns a ct of their staff to do a lot of these things. The City has regular
entertainment companies that they deal with on a regular basis to bring in entertainment
for G.A,L.A, and anything else that we have, He could not tell what groups witl be here for
Black Awareness Day because no contracts have been signed. He pointed out that there
is already a business plan because we run special events like a business.
Commissioner Bradley was interested in seeing something that shows there is a potential
contract in hand. Mr. Hawkins Said he could have brought it with him tonight, but it was not
his intention to put the Commission on the spot to makea decision tonight. He just wanted
to let the Commission know where staff and the Committee were in the planning process.
Mr. Frederick said we have six or seven contract proposals from Big B Productions. which
does a lot of our bookings for us. The costs range from around $15,000~00 to $25 000.00
based on the performers. He said the purpose of bringing this to the Commission's
attention is to determine whether or not the Commission was interested in moving in that
direction. If so, staff could bring something back more positive.
Mayor Taylor agreed with Commissioner Bradley that we should concentrate on getting the
FAMU band for next year. This will give the Committee a year to plan it and raise the
funds. Commissioners Bradley and Tillmar were interested in having staff bring something
back relative to upgrading the entertainment.
Mr. Frederick pointed out that the City will have to contribute money for this entertainment,
and he did not think there can be a very a strong guaranty that any high percentage of that
money will be recouped. The FAMU program ~s a different concept. Planned wel in
advance, ~)romoted and generating the proper sponsorships, there is a very likely
opportunity to bring back all of the money.

VI. BIDS
Award bid for Annual/Local Manpower Maintenance for the Martin
Luther King Blvd. target area to B.L.C. Lawn and Maintenance in the
amount of $25,220.00 per year
Mayor Taylor pointed out that B.L.C. is the only bidder who did not submit the noncollusion
affidavit of prime bidder, confirmation of minority owned business, etc. John Wildner,
Parks Superintendent, explained that since B.L.C. is the present contractor, they thought
they did not have to submit those documents again. Once they found out that they had to,
they did.

Mr. Carson lives at Lawrence Lakes Estates. He stated that affer the December 17th City
Commission meeting, at which the topic of landscaping for Lawrence Lakes Estates was
reviewed and resolved, the q Jestion of the berms was left open. These berms were
constructed without permits and were inadvertently constructed half on the abutting
property and half on the property of Lawrence Lakes Estates, at least the ones on the
south side. Subsequently, they had to be cut in half in order to clear the property line.
These half berms will be subject to erosion and will be impossible to maintain. They are
also an unnecessary financial intrusion. Mr. Carson said he obtained signatures of the
people on the south side who do not want the oerm. He advised that Article IV, Section
5 of the City's Land Development Regulations states the following:
STORM WATER TREATMENT. Rainfall runoff, surface waters and
groundwaters Shall be managed in subdivisions to minimize degradation of
~vater quality nutrients, turbid ty, debts and other harmfu substances, and
maximize percolation and detention to promote the re-use of this resource,
all in a manner acceptable to the South Florida Water Management District.
Storm water treatment facilities shall be designed and sized to accommodate
at I'east a one hour three-year storm or to retain the first inch of run off.
whicnever is greater, and shall provide detention for at least the first inch of
rainfall in swaJes, rete?on areas or other approved facilities. Runoff from
roads, parkingltots, rods and other imPerviou~ surfaces shall be routed over
are~t$ Where ~e~c01ati~;n into the soil ~an be accOmpliShed prior to
intrbduction i~:~° any S{0rm sewer Or Other receiving facility
He pointed out that his commun:ity does not have swales. It is a very small community and
the area is limited. The berms will he p the water go d rect y nto the drain, which is against
the regulations.
Mr. Carson also advised that the originally agreed upon landscape plan is being revised.
The homeowners want the same quantity,and quality of trees that was originally agreed
to.
Also at that meeting, David Stein said he represented GRB Development. However,
Mr. Carson was ~n possession of a communication from Mr. Stein to Ms. Heyden in which
Mr. Stein states that this is not quite ~rue. Mr Carson said this is of great concern to some
of the homeowners who have potential lawsuits against the developer. He wanted to know
who the developer is.

He stated that on August 3, 1995. the City approved an amended version of the original
PUD plan. This amendment allowed the developer to erect two extra homes in lieu of the
recreation area. On his own amendment ~lan, the developer clearly shows a new cedar
fence. However. he has recently pressure cteaned the old cypress fence in preparation
for painting. This fence is nine years old, crooked, partially rotted, loose, below ground
level, and not on the property line as depicted in the p~an. He asked if the Commission will
assure the homeowners that the builder would be made to fulfill his agreement with the City
and, if so, how.
Mayor Taylor asked Mr. Carson to catl the City Manager's Off ce to set up a meeting with
Mayor Taylo~ City Manager Sugerman, and Mr. Carson this Friday. He asked Mr. Carson
to bring a list of the problems with him.
Steve Myott, 2657 N.W. 4th Street, thanked the Commission for returning his telephone
calls regarding the swale project. He was concerned about the swale and drainage
problems on 4th Court and 4th Street. Mayor Taylor advised him that this item is on the
agenda and will be addressed later in the meeting.
With regard to Gateway Boulevard, Mr. Myott has been trying to follow up on some items
over the last,year or so and is having some difficulty. He represents his neighborhood
association. While the City's Engineering Department has been very helpful, they have
referred him to get information from the County. However, he is not getting any information
in terms of What is going on, a time frame, and some pans to show his ne ghborhood
association. His telephone calls to the County are not returned.
Mayor Taylor invited Mr. Myott to caI~ him if the City Engineer cannot answer his questions.
He advised that all the County is doing is providing money. He assumed we are getting
ready to hire a design firm.
Mr. Myott inquired about the Neignborhood Specialist r~osition. He felt it was important to
neighborhood groups to have this person as a resource. Otherwise, they do not have the
precedence and expertise to do new things. City Manager Sugerman advised that we are
still taking applications. Mr. Hawkins believes the closing date for this positio~ is the end
of next week.
With regard to Visions 20/20, Mr. Myott felt the City should get information out to the
communities.

Debra Dypold is an employee of Boynton Beach Fire Rescue and a member of the 1891
International Association of Firefighters. She stated that burns have been a horrible part
of her awareness for many years, and thanked the Commission for the Proclamation on
Burn Awareness Week. She poised out that the Boynton Beach Fire Rescue likes to work
closely with the Shriners and is available for school tours. She reminded everyone that the
Fire Department is available for walk-ins for blood pressures anG directions. In addition,
the Fire Department has a Physician's Desk Reference in each station in case anybody
has a medication question.
Mayor Taylor apprec ated Ms. Dypold's comments and stated that we are very proud of all
the humanitarian work that our Fire Department does. He said they all do a great job every

X. NEW BUSINESS
A. Items for discussion requested by Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz
1. Swale Program/Stormwater Utility
One of Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz' major concerns is the implementation of the improvements
that we are going to make to the swales and driveways to improve the flooding situation.
She has been discussing this with the City Manager for about six months and was gratified
that the City said they would assess the homeowners $60.00 and help them do the
improvements to their properties. She assumed this work had been started, but City
Manager Sugerman advised her that some legal work has to be done before beginning any
of the work, a~d very often the legal work exceeds the cost of the entire project. She had
assumed that We were using the Storm Water Utility Fund to accommodate this problem
and that we would recoup part of the driveway maintenance.
City Manager Sugerman advised that we have a storm water improvement project in a
neighbOrhood where the City sgo ng to make improvements to the swale areas. The City
is ~smg the $1.00 per ERU contribution that it gets from every property owner to fund the

City's portion of the swale improvements. However, City funds are not being used for the
improvements to the driveway. Instead, a special assessment is being set up for every
single property owner. This is where the legal work comes into ~lay. We have to do
research to determine not only who every legal property owner is, but we have to have the
legal description and the exact measurements of the property. Then we have to have a
public hearing, assess the homeowners, and then construct the project. In some cases,
the assessment is going to be $60.00 for a single ddveway done in asphalt. Some of the
assessments may be as high as $240.00 for a double driveway done in concrete. What
we have to go through to make the assessment happen is time consuming and very
expensive. It does not seem to make sense. We may be spending $240.00 to do a
$200.00 assessment. We are still moving forward with the project because we have made
some commitments to do approximately six neighborhoods this way. We are doing the
research ~o determine the property owners, the legal descriptions, and the measurements.
City Manager Sugerman requested that the City Commission hold a workshop to discuss
a better way to do these ~mprovements.
Mayor Taylor suggested that instead of measur ng each lot each homeowner oe assessed
an ~qual~amount. Mark Law advised that former Cty Manager Carrie Parker wanted a
price bas~ed on a single asphalt driveway, a double asphalt driveway, a single concrete
driveway, and a double concrete driveway To make it a fair assessment.
City Attorney Cherof advised that this could be handled as a capital improvement project.
Then no special assessment program would be required under State law. The City would
simply pay for the improvements. However, we do not want to do work on p~'ivate property
without the consent anc~ release from the property owner.
Mr. Law advised that the original intent was to do from the edge of the pavement to the
property line. We did not intend to go on private property at all.
City Manager Sugerman confirmed for Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz that the dollars we are
collecting are going to pay for the swale project. However, those dollars will probably run
out at the end of the first four or five projects. Those dollars are not enough to fund the
mprovements City-wide. The amount that has been accumulated in the func~ is
astonishingly Iow. Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz pointec~ out that other cities collect $5.00, not
$1.00. City Manager Sugerman advised that staff can prepare a true storm water utitity
with a formula for figuring out what the fair and equal payment would be every month to get
this work done. It would not have to be done on an assessment basis. It could be done
on a utility monthly billing basis with payment plans, etc.

Commissioner Bradley asked for confirmation that if we only do the apron, we would not
need permission on the driveway part. City Attorney Cherof stated that we do not need the
property owner's permission on the apron part that is within the right-of-way.
City Manager Sugerman clarified that his suggestion was to make our utility into a cost of
service, properly funded Jtitity; and develop a rate structure which can be put on the
monthly utility bill and billed back to customers.
Mayor Taylor suggested discussing this item at a workshop. Vice Mayor Jaskiew~cz
pointed out that if we do net have restrictions with regard to swales, there is no sense in
improving them because they will be torn up again.
Mr. Law advised that five streets were previously identified as problem areas, including
N.E. 15th Avenue. City Manager Sugerman asked the Commissio~ if we should proceed
with the assessment relative to these five projects. The paperwork regarding Mr. Myott's
neighborhood is being done and should be completed by the end of January.
Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz asked if enough money has been accumulated in the fund to do the
projects that have been approved. Mr. Law answered affirmatively. Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz
suggested proceeding on these projects.
Commissioner Titcomb askeo if the private property owner can contract, while the
workmen are there, to do the rest of their driveway in addition to the apron. Mr. Law
advised that it would have to be permitted through the Building Department. City Manager
Sugerman pointed out City crews will be doing the work. Therefore, City Attorney Cherof
advised that the answer to Commissioner Titcomb's question is, "No". If the project was
bid out, you could coordinate the continuation of the improvement on the property owner's
side of the property. However. if the City's labor force is doing the work, this cannot be
done.
Commissioner Bradley stated that if the apron is done and the driveway is not, there are
going to be two different colors and people are not going to like that. Mayor Taylor stated
that the people have to decide whether they want their neighborhood flooded or whether
they want their driveway not to match. Mr. Law advised that many of the driveways are
shellrock. Mr. Myott added that there is not much to match. The houses either have a full
driveway or no driveway, and the flooding is occurring where there are no driveways.
Since the funds are available, Commissioner Titcomb was supportive of proceeding with
this project and holding a workshop to discuss future funding of additional, similar projects.

He would like the people to get relief and felt the issue of two tone driveways is a lesser
problem. Mr. Law asked if the City should include the funding of the asphalt or concrete
aprons within the right-of-way. Commissioner Titcomb stated that traditionally and
historically, that falls within the City's jurisdiction.
Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz asked if we did this, if we could collect the $60.00 or $120.00 in the
future, if necessary. City Attorney Cherof stated that it is possible; however, it is more
complicated to do a retroactive special assessment because you are not affording the
property owner the opportunity to come in beforehand and argue the merits of th e project
and the monetary impact on the property. He also adwsed that If you are going to commit
public dollars to the project, you may want to follow [hat up quickly with a stringent swale
maintenance ordinance and some requirements that the property owner maintain the swale
and not interfere with the natural flow of wa;ter. There shoul(t be a penalty if they do.
Currently we do not have anything suffic.ent to enforce maintenance of swales City
Manage~' Sugerman suggested that ~tt the workshop, parking in the swales be discussed
Motion
Commissioner Titcemb moved to direcl staff to proceed with the project as a direct capital
improvement on the five approved streets, using the funds that have already been
collected for this project, including the swales and aprons. Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz
seconded the motion.
City Manager Sugerman asked if asphalt should be replaced with asphalt, concrete with
concrete, single driveways with single driveways, and double driveways with double
driveways. The Commission answered affirmatively.
Mayor Taylor asked if there is any problem with his suggestion of doing the swale project
and assessing every house on the street the same amount of money. City Attorney Cherof
advised that it will probably be a problem. The concept of the assessment is that the
property gets assessed based upon some formula, either based on frontage or actual
improvement. Therefore, if you have different types of driveways of different dimensions,
you cannot have an equal assessment for every property owner.
The motion carried 5-0.

2. Community Appearance Code (including sign ordinance)
Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz distributed a copy of a newsletter from another City to the
Cc remission and asked them to read it before the workshop. It tells of everything that is
going on in this city, and contains information about parking of recreational vehicles and
boats. She offered to meet with the residents to get their suggestions about the parking
of these vehicles, She hoped we can include a newsletter like this with the utility billing
every month to keep everyone informed.
She asked City Attorney to let her know how we plan to implement the sign ordinance that
was put in effect several years ago. There have been several ordinances and the time
frame for removing billboards and Signs has always begun with the passing of the most
recent ordinance, Therefore, that time frame will never come as long as we keep changing
the ordinances. She asked City Attorney Cherof to find out how many people have signs
that do not conform and what period of time they have to remove them. She also wanted
to know if we have notified them that time is laPsing for removal of the signs.
Legal Opinion on Newspaper Racks
Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz said she received several telephone calls from people,complaining
about the proliferation of newspaper racks in our City, particularly on major roads like
Congress Avenue where the right-of-way ~s completely deteriorated from cars pulling in and
out. In some places, there are 18 different racks. She asked City Attorney Cherof to see
if we can do away with some of them.
4. DOT Construction Projects
Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz was extremely upset about the noise wall and the auxiliary lane.
She referred to a pamphlet put out by DOT and a newspaper article. She also referred to
Engineering Memo #96-260 indicating that the area between Woolbright Road and
Boynton Beach Bou[evard was funded and would begin ~n 1997. Hypoluxo Road was also
mentioned, bul now they are not going to include these areas. She requested the
Commission's support by letting our voices be heard that we object to this. She pointed
out that they are going to put another lane in this area. The only thing that separates those
people from the no~se is a chain link fence. There are also two elementary schools in this
area that could benefit from a sound wall. The noise ~s deafening in those classrooms.
It is outrageous that they have skipped our City and are going on now to Lantana and an
area north in the County.

Commissioner Bradley stated that last summer he warned the Commission that there was
a problem and even though we were given information that said it was funded, it was not.
He pointed out that Palm Beach Gardens has a worse problem than us. They do not even
have right-of-way between the end of the pavement and where the chain link fence ~s.
They used to have trees, but they were taken out. Hopefully, when the auxiliary lane goes
in, the sound wall will go 'n. Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz advised that they indicate that the
auxiliary lane is going in in early 1997, but not the sound wall.
Mayor Taylor suggested that Vice Mayor Jastdewicz attend the next MPO meeting and
express her concerns.
Commissioner Bradley said he will look into this matter further; however, he believes that
the sound walls will go in as the auxiliary lanes go ~n. That is the way it is funded.
Commissioner Bradley suggested having a meeting every other month with the Planning
and Development Board to address community appearance items. He suggested choosing
a date for a workshop to discuss swales at the meeting with the Planning and Development
Board on Thursday. He also suggested that the each item be workshopped separately.
B. Items for discussion requested by Commissioner Titcomb
1. Digital Speed Signs
Commissioner Titcomb advised that he has been in contact with groups in the south end
of the City about a problem of residential neighborhood streets that are oosted at 25 mph.
These streets are being used as shortcuts and speedways to avoid more congested
County roads. Traffic studies have not borne out that there may be needs for lights. He
has had discussions with the City Engineer and residents about various solutions to the
problem. Our Police Department has done a fine job trying to monitor and enforce the
speed issues in these neighborhoods.
He suggested using police trailers like the City of Atlantis does. It is o~ tires, has a
projection radar built into it, and has the City police logo on all sides. As you drive down
the street, on a large lighted board, it tells you how fast you are driving. He watched as
several cars went by and noticed that people slowed down instantly when they saw this.
He suggested that the City look into the cost of such a device for the City of Boynton
Beach. You can move it around to where you have trouble spots in the City. He believes
this device also gathers statistical informatio~ in terms of the average speee and the
number of cars that go by. More importantly, it reminds people to slow down.

C. Items for discussion requested by Commissioner Bradley
1. Request for Information on the Pay Plan
Cc mm~ssioner Bradley stated that City Manager Sugerman informed him that about 8 to
10 months ago, he put together some ideas about pay plans and performance; an initiative
that would address how employees are paid and how they mighl deserve and receive
bonuses. He asked the Commission for a consensus to have City Manager Sugerman
come back with a p~an that would address the current pay plan and what might be done
to improve it.
City Manager Sugerman advised that there are a couple of components. There is the base
pay plan whioh includes the issues of base pay, fringe benefits, use of siok leave, vaoation
time; all the issues that are related to compensation for employees. That is a stand-alone
document. He believes he can get this to the Commission within 45 days. He had made
a number of recommendations for changes to the current program. However, before he
brings it to the Commission, he would like to circulate it amongst the staff to get their
reactions to some of these changes.
The issue of incentives, merit pay, and bonuses ~s a separate issue. Eight to 10 months
ago he drafted a number of ideas, but needs additional time to work on this.
The third component is the Share the Cost Savings Program which he drafted. He may
be able to have this ready within 45 days, but felt it probably should be tied to the merit and
bonus plans. He believes he can have the Merit Pay Plan, the Bonus Plan, and the Share
the Cost Savings Plans within 90 days.
Commissioner Tiilman asked if these plans will include some method by which these extra
monies would be accumulated to implement such plans. City Manager Sugerman
answered affirmatively.
Consider request from Thelma Taylor, President, Asbury Family
Heritage, to hold a block party on February 14, 1997 on N.E. 13th Avenue
from Seacrest Boulevard to N.E. 1st Street
Ms. Taylor advised that this is not a typical block party. It is a family gathering at her
house. She would like the street blocked off to prevent the possibility of the children being
hit by a car because they will be playing in front of the house.

over to her house; however, it is really a family gathering. The Commission expressed
concern about blocking the access to the other homes on the block and asked Ms. Taylor
to seek approval from her neighbors to blockoff the street.
Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz suggested blocking off a smaller area. Captain Ted Padich of the

Motion
Commissioner Titlman moved to approve Proposed Ordinance No. 96-67. Commissioner
Bradley seconded the motion.
Mayor Taylor referred to page 4. One of the violations is "docking a boat in a residential
area beyond a property line". He pointed out that on all our canals, boats are tied up either
against a dock or sitting in the water: City Attorney Cherof advised that this is intended to
deal with encroachment into adjacent property setbacks and boats that are on dry land,
and side yard storage of boats that overlap into setback areas.
Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz felt that the penalty for the first offense for "barking dogs creating
a nuisance" is too harsh. City Attorney Cherof pointed out that there is a pretty high
threshold for the barking dog to conStitute a nuisance in the first Place.
Mayor Taylor wondered why staff is hesitant to enforce our Noise Control Ordinance. City
Attorney Cherof advised that the Police Department and the Code Enforcement Division
have a problem enforcing this ordinance because of the measuring of the noise. Scott
Blasie, Code Enforcement Administrator~ explained that we have to measure the decibel
level over a period of time. For instance, if we receive a complaint about a barking dog and
arrive at the scene, the dog may have already stopped barking.
Mayor Taylor related a scenario of someone starting tO play loud music at 6:00 p.m. and
continuing to play it at 1:00 a,m. He did not think the Police are going to pull out a decibel
meter at 1:00 a.m. to see if the complaint is valid. He pointed out that they have to decide
right then and there whether it is a nuisance or not.

REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
JANUARY 7, 1997
Captain Ted Padich of the Police Department recalled trying to enforce older noise
ordinances that did not have decibel Ievels in them. Instead, they addressed items such
as if the noise could be heard over the property line. He has had people stand right on
their property line, and if you listen very closely, you could hear the noise. He had people
demanding that we arrest their neighbors when zhere truly was no offending noise. Having
a decibel limit helps us; but unfortunately, we do not have access to a decibel meter late
at night. It is very difficult and it is often a juagment call. To handle these situations, we try
to encourage people to be good neighborS. Oftentimes, we get voluntary compliance.
City Attorney Cherof advised that this ordinance is not intended to address the specifics
of any of the ordinances that constitute violations or spell out what is a violation. The only
purpose of this ordinance is to establish a fine so that we could do a more expedited
enforcement procedure when applicable. In the absence of a fee schedule, the County
Court will not even address this.

Richard Jerman is one of the principals of Vanguard Realty & Development Corporation,
the consultants and contract purchasers of this proPerty. He advised that he and the other
odnc~pals have been developing in South Flodda for the past 20 years. A couple of their
projects include Stonebddge Golf and Country Club in Boca Raton and Whitecliff Golf and
Country Club in bake Worth. This property has an absentee owner who has relied on
some people in the past that have not delivered for him. Vanguard became involved in the
property in the first part of November. At the request of Scott Btasie, the Code
Enforcement Administrator, he boarded and secured the property. He has also moved
forward to obtain bids for demolition of th s property. He adv sed that the Boynton Beach

(surrounding properties, adjacent buildings, power lines, etc.), and there is a good water
supply on site. He stated that Mr. Jerman supplied him with an asbestos survey, which
came back good. However, some of the flooring material is asbestos in nature and would
have to be removed. He advised that the Fire Department can probably burn these
structures by the eno of [his month, or certainly by the beginning of February. He also
advised that Mr. Jerman and Mr. Kino said they would quickly clean up thedebris that is
left after the burning.
City Attorney Cherof felt the motion lacks one issue about the timing. He stated that the

demolition should occur within 60 days; The lien will not be released until after both
contingencies have occurred· If they, pay the $1,500.00 and do not demolish the
structures, the $1,500.00 will only reduce the amount of the $28,000.00 fine.

Number of pages including this one: I
Dear Ms. Haydn,
I am sending you this facsimile to request a few minor changes be made to my letter dated
October 10, 1996. The changes I would like involve three areas. The first change I would
like to make is to the first paragraph on page 2. I do not want to go on record as saying
that GRB is the Developer, for this is not entirely correct. The second item is in the
second paragraph also on page 2. I would like to delete fi.om public record the final 2
sentences referring to Mr. Miller's complaint about the increased cost of maintenance due
to the berm being installed. This is somettfing I was told by someone else and is hearsay.
Therefore, I do not have the right to use his name.
The third item is in the first paragraph on page 2 oftbe same letter dated October 10,
1996. When I finished my meetings with the homeowner's only two that I met with
requested the "Menendez Plan" be installed. After further discussions with people in the
community, I have been informed there were an additional 1 or 2 homeowner's who would
have liked to have had the "Menendez Plan" installed.
I am sorry for this late request. If it is a problem for you to change what you have already
done, then please include this facsimile with the packet for the Commission. If you can
not do this, please call me and I will make copies to hand out.
Thanks,
Dave
