Mayor Moore did not see a recommendation on the report from
Wilfred Hawkins, Assistant to the City Manager/Ombudsman.
Mr. Hawkins called attention to item 3, under "LEGAL, D,
Other", which was on the agenda. He stated that a prior
Commission dealt with this on February 21, 1989.
Mr. Hawkins explained that the site plan approved by the
previous Commission showed Mr. Agnello had to bring the
parking lot into compliance under the current Codes.
Mr. Agnello bought a building, and the use of the building
was changing from general business to medical. The past
City administration felt the parking lot and change of use
could not be grandfathered in.
At the February 21st Commission meeting, Mr. Agnelto dis-
agreed with having to bring the parking lot up to Code,
as outlined in the staff comments from the Technical Review
Board (TRB). Mr. Agnello was cited for occupational license
violations in that business was being run by three dentists.
The occupational licenses were not issued because the park-
ing lot had not been brought up to Code.
3
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
JANUARY 2, 1990
The Code Enforcement Board heard Mr. Agnello's arguments in
reference to the licensing, and they gave him six months to
bring the parking lot up to Code. Mr. Agnello did not meet
that deadline. Vice Mayor Olenik asked if Mr. Agnello went
before the Planning and Zoning (P&Z) Board for a parking lot
variance, as the prior Commission had recommended.
Mr. Hawkins stated this Commission would be reversing a past
Commission's decision. He recommended that consideration be
given to Mr. Agnello's request. Mayor Moore commented that
the City attempted to invoke upon Mr. Agnello requirements
that were in the future. He referred to the violations the
dentists were faced with and said Mr. Agnello has lost rent
because of the prior administration.
Vice Mayor Olenik recalled the intent of the prior
Commission was that Mr. Agnello should not do expensive
drainage and road work because the design of Boynton Beach
Boulevard may be changed. He could not believe the City
staff turned that around into the above mentioned lien.
Michael Agnello, 4012 Shelldrake Lane, Boynton Beach, FL
33436, said he spent $18,000 to build a six car parking lot,
and he elaborated on what he had done.
Vice Mayor Olenik moved to grant total leniency.
Commissioner Wische seconded the motion.
Vice Mayor Olenik requested that the City Manager investi-
gate this because the intent of the Commission in February
was to get this over with. He did not know why Mr. Agnello
did not get a parking lot variance.
Mayor Moore repeated that the motion was to grant full
leniency, give occupational licenses to the dentists, and
that the Commission receive a full report on how something
like this could happen. A vote was taken on the motion, and
the motion carried 4-0.
Both Vice Mayor Olenik and Mayor Moore felt future lien
appeals should not be on the Consent Agenda.

MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
JANUARY 2, 1990
Mr. Hawkins explained this case was in reference to a
construction trailer that was placed on property
Mr. Pagliarulo and his company were developing. The Code
Enforcement Board asked Mr. Pagliarulo to remove debris and
the trailer within a certain period of time, but
Mr. Pagliaruto did not meet the deadline. Mr. Hawkins
recommended that no leniency be granted in that
Mr. Pagliarulo was notified properly.
John Pagliarulo, 3546 South Lake Drive, Boynton Beach, FL,
stated that he tried to get an answer from the Code Enforce-
ment Board as to the nature of the violations. On March 24,
1989, he was cited for having a construction trailer and
construction material on a piece of property. Mr. Pagliarulo
had a permit for four years (since the project had been
under construction). The permit was for the trailer and a
compound to store his construction materials. Mr. Pagliarulo
said the debris, construction trailer and materials on the
premises were in compliance. He stated he has been in
compliance many times, and he asked Mr. Hawkins to research
the records because he had copies of all of the compliances.
At the Code Enforcement hearing in August, Mr. Pagliarulo
intended to remove the trailer and construction trailer.
Around that time, he learned one of his children had a
severe medical problem. When he received the "Findings of
Fact", the date of "10/23" did not register. He thought it
was November. In November, Mr. Pagliarulo received a notice
that a lien was placed on his property. He apprised the
Commission that he does not own the property.
Mr. Pagliarulo told of how he kept in touch with Scott
Blasie, Administrator of Code Enforcement, and complied.
He stressed he cannot afford $6,303.83 and requested the
Commission to drop the lien.
A1 Hope, President of Affordable Development Corporation,
owner of the lot in question, came tonight because he was
going for a construction loan to build houses on this
property. There was discussion about the lien and the
property. Mr. Holt stated the lien was on the property in
question. He bought the property from Paggey Investors on
September 1, 1989. Mr. Pagliarulo informed Mayor Moore he
has nothing to do with Paggey Investors.
Commissioner Wische asked Mr. Pagliaruio if he had ever been
cited. Mr. Pagliarulo answered affirmatively and added that
he has always complied. Mr. Holt hoped the Commission would
5
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA

remove the lien so he would not have a problem with it. At
the time of purchase, Flagler Title Company searched the
title, and there were no recorded liens. The owner of the
property signed an affidavit to that effect.
Discussion ensued about the lien and when it was recorded.
City Attorney Rea advised the Claim of Lien was signed on
the 27th of October, 1989. Mr. Holt was building a house
for a moderate income family. This procedure could delay
that. Mr. Holt said there is a lien against Lot 18.
City Attorney Rea advised a Claim of Lien was filed against
the personal property of the violator, John Pagliarulo. He
explained to Commissioner Weiner that the Code Enforcement
Board cites the violator, who can be either the company or
the property owner. Further discussion ensued. City
Attorney Rea informed the Commission that the lien document
did not relate to the real property.
Direction to City Attorney
If the City put a lien against the property, Mayor Moore
stated it was done improperly. He felt the City Attorney
should remove any lien against this real estate. The
Commission agreed to this by a unanimous vote.
Commissioner Weiner wanted to show Mr. Pagliarulo leniency,
but she did not want people going through Code Enforcement
and then thinking they can get off with no fines. She
stated she would be more comfortable if the Commission did
not hear the appeals.
Motion
Commissioner Weiner moved that Mr. Pagliarulo be given a 50%
reduction of his fine. Vice Mayor Olenik seconded the
motion, and the motion carried 4-0.
As long as Mayor Moore could remember, Mr. Pagliarulo has
been in the City and in trouble with the City for many
instances. As he is a General Contractor, Mr. Pagliarulo
should know he should comply when told to.
Direction to City Manager
Mayor Moore asked City Manager Miller for a complete review
of the procedures of lien impositions on the Code Enforce-
ment Board. He wants to know who owns the property and who
6

the City is going after. Mayor Moore did not want to hear
again that the City imposed a $6,000 lien and had the wrong
person or the wrong property. He wanted a title company to
do the title searches.
Approval of Bills
See list attached to the original copy of these minutes in
the Office of the City Clerk.
Vice Mayor Olenik called attention to ~10 in the amount of
$1,659.19 for the replacement of 10 Stolen Camlocks.
John Guidry, Director of Utilities: did not know how the
locking system was stolen.
Motion
Vice Mayor Olenik movedt seconded by Commissioner Weiner, to
approve the Consent Agenda. Motion carried 4-0.
BIDS
A. Consider approval of Sole Source purchases -
Water Treatment Plant Expansion
In his memo of December 22, 1989, the Purchasing Director
wrote that two large items (Membrane Systema and Communica-
tions Interfacing Systems) will be "sole source" purchases,
These items should be reviewed by the Commission and the
Consulting Engineers. Data Flow Systems, Melbourne, FL was
recommended for the communications equipment.
City Manager Miller asked that this be tabled until after
there could be an opportunity for a workshop. Mayor Moore
was tired of sole source purchases to avoid competitive
bidding. Time and time again, there have been structured
specifications to eliminate anyone from bidding other than
one source° Mayor Moore stated it would be the City
Manager's responsibility to have backup that there is nowhere
else to purchase an item, if someone comes before the
Commission with a sole source purchase.
Vice Mayor Olenik moved to TABLE this item, seconded by
Commissioner Weiner. Motion carried 4-0.

A. Items for discussion requested by Mayor Gene Moore
4. Release of Cash Performance Bond - D. J. Snapp -
Hypoluxo Plaza
Mr. Guidry said there is a $136,000 cash performance bond
on deposit with the City. The City has not had a final
inspection on the property. The easement documents still
need to be executed, and the City has not received an
executed affidavit that all bills have been taken care of.
Mr. Guidry recommended going back to the City's November 17th
letter to all parties concerned and working out the differ-
ences. A lien by the supplier is on file against the
project.
D. J. Snapp, 4986 Pine Cone Lane, West Palm Beach, FL,
representing Hypoluxo Plaza, had copies of the recorded
easement. In terms of the final Release of Lien Notice, an
Affidavit was posted and he hand delivered it to
Mr. Mazzella in October, 1989. Mr. Snapp told Vice Mayor
Olenik the easement was recorded today. He had a list of
what he had to do to get the bond reduced and performed
those items. After explaining, Mr. Snapp said he thought
the Commission wanted to review the easement before it was
recorded, but he had it recorded today.
Mr. Snapp agreed an amount is in dispute with a supplier,
who filed a mechanic's lien. The dispute is about who owes
the money. There was discussion. City Attorney Rea and
Mr. Guidry had not seen all of the papers. Mr. Guidry
suggested that the Attorney for the Supplier, the Developer,
City Attorney Rea and he get together in the morning
(January 3, 1990) to resolve this.
After discussion, City Attorney Rea advised the bond must be
reduced by a Resolution. Mayor Moore stated they would move
forward at the staff and administrative level. If City
Attorney Rea receives confirmation that everything is OK, he
should bring a Resolution to the Commission. It will be on
the agenda at the meeting of January 10, 1990.
PUBLIC AUDIENCE
Budget
Maurice Rosenstock, 1 Villa Lane, Boynton Beach, FL,
reminded the Commission that very shortly they will be work-
ing on the budget. He thought the Commission had to devote
every effort toward cutting the budget. Mr. Rosenstock had
been investigating the budget over a period of years and
8
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 2, 1990
found some of the practices being carried out to be repre-
hensible. As an example, he heard there has to be a bond
issue of approximately $40,000,000 and a management fee of
$5,000,000 would be necessary to see that the funds will be
used correctly. Mr. Rosenstock wondered where all of the
money will be going to.
Mr. Rosenstock asked what is happening to the use of vehicles
in the City. He informed the Commission that 33 people
receive allowances for using their own cars. He wondered if
this was totally justified. Approximately 50 people use
City vehicles. Mr. Rosenstock felt the City Manager and
department heads should have direction from the City
Commission.
Mr. Rosenstock urged the Commission to tell the City Manager
what they want before the deadline for the budget nears.
They want the best of services but want to know every dollar
is properly spent. Mayor Moore replied that a memorandum
requesting exactly what Mr. Rosenstock said would be on the
City Manager's desk tomorrow.
City Hall Flag Pole
Bob Borovy, 2521 S. W. llth Street, Boynton Beach, FL,
Chairman of the Boynton Beach Veterans Council, noticed for
months the flag pole has not had a flag. He wanted to know
if the City does not have the money to buy a flag because
the Boynton Veterans Council will buy one. Mayor Moore
requested the City staff to have a flag flying.
Matching Funds - Dick Webber Child Abuse Center
Former Mayor Nick Cassandra, 2554 S. W. 10th Court, Boynton
Beach, FL, informed everyone that a check for $25,000 in
matching funds from the County is in the mail.
Parking Tickets
Wilda Searcy, 402 N. E. 13th Avenue, Boynton Beach, FL,
asked who decides how much tickets for handicapped parking
should be. Police Chief Hillery replied there are State
citations that can only be given to the driver. Municipal
citations can be hung on cars. Those fines are determined
by an Ordinance passed by the City Commission. The State
charges a certain fee, but Cities are given leeway as to what
to charge.
Mrs. Searcy had a sticker on her car and was sent a notice.
Mayor Moore told her to call the City Manager's office
tomorrow.

Tradewinds
Mrs. Searcy was told they did not want blacks to move into
the community in 1986, which is the reason for the Tradewinds
fighting. That is why she filed papers against the City of
Boynton Beach for not allowing low income housing in certain
neighborhoods. Mrs. Searcy further commented.

Commissioner Wische moved, seconded by Vice Mayor Olenik, to

Motion carried 4-0.
Mayor Moore stated he is going to investigate this during
the next two weeks to see whether the City needs this Board.
City Attorney Rea informed the Commission that the makeup
of the Board was changed from what was established two years
ago. When the Commission changes the makeup of the Board
under this Ordinance, he said they will be requiring the
Chairman of the Board to be an Attorney licensed to practice
in some jurisdiction in the United States. West Palm Beach
requires a Florida licensed Attorney, but West Palm Beach
also provides for payment of the Attorney's time.
Commissioner Wische apprised him that the City Attorney will
be the Attorney of record and a member of the Board. City
Attorney Rea advised that a citizen of Boynton Beach would
be appointed on a volunteer basis.

· TABLED
Vice Mayor Olenik moved to remove this item from the table,
seconded by Commissioner Wische. Motion carried 4-0.
Vice Mayor Olenik apologized to the applicant because after
the break at the last meeting, it was brought to the
Commission's attention that there was a question of whether
or not they would be annexing into the City. He thought the
Commission should hear a presentation.
Kiernan Kilday, Kilday & Associates, 1551 Forum Place, West
Palm Beach, FL, informed Mayor Moore they will be subject to
annexation because the City is on one side. However,
because of City regulations, they propose to agree to annex
upon obtaining a certificate of occupancy (C.O.) in Palm
Beach County. The reason for that is the proposal for a
service station at High Ridge Road and Hypoluxo Road. The
City's Zoning Ordinance has a provision of a 1,000 feet
separation between service stations. In this case, the
owner making the request owns the existing Texaco service
station on the north side of Hypoluxo Road. Mr. Kilday said
they propose to work within the County's confines, get it
built, and then annex into the City as an accepted fact.
Mayor Moore questioned whether they were going to come in as
a non-conforming use and be grandfathered in. Tim Cannon,
Interim Planning Director, replied that the Water Service
Agreement states it is an annexation application. If the
applicant is within 1,000 feet of another existing station
in the City, it will be a non-conforming use. Discussion
ensued about the 1,000 feet requirement. Mr. Cannon
suggested that requirement be eliminated from the Ordinance.
Vice Mayor Olenik moved, seconded by Commissioner Wische,
to approve the Water Service Agreement, subject to the
applicant coming into the City for a C. O., at which time
the City will have its Ordinance straight. Commissioner
Wische seconded the motion, and the motion carried 4-0.

2. Consider approval of Investment Banker for 1990 Water
& Sewer Revenue Bond Issue
City Attorney Rea advised this matter was TABLED. Mayor
Moore commented they would wait for the City Manager to get
into the engineering report. He thought it had gone through
the process. Mayor Moore wanted the Commission to get a
copy of the Request for Proposal (RFP). He also wanted it
clearly understood that the City Manager should take over
the lead role of the bond issue. Mayor Moore stated he
would be a lot more comfortable if the City Manager's office
handled it with staff input. The Commission agreed to this.
3. Status of cases being handled by outside counsel for
City of Boynton Beach

5. 1989 Legislation Affecting Codes Boards
City Attorney Rea said the City will shortly be in the
process of updating its Code Enforcement Board's Ordinances
to comply with the last legislative session. The new legis-
lation indicated that the Code Enforcement Board may grant
leniency. The question was whether to have the Code Enforce-
ment Board hear the cases rather than the Commisslbn and
then have the Board make a recommendation to the Commission.
Mayor Moore did not think it was feasible for an appellant
to have to go back to the same Board to invoke a lien. The
City Commission should make the final decision, but he
thought there should be an intermediate deal with the City
Manager's office. The City Manager should then make a
recommendation to the City Commission. After discussion,
City Attorney Rea advised the way the Code Enforcement Board
legislation had been addressed by the Attorney General was
that, technically, the Code Enforcement Board may be the
only body that can provide leniency to a Code lien.
Cynthia Greenhouse, Attorney at Law and Member of the Code
Enforcement Board, 618 N. E. 20th Lane, said this was
18
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
JANUARY 2, 1990
discussed at length at the Board's last meeting. When the
legislation first came out, Carl Coffin, Board Attorney, was
of the opinion the Code Enforcement Board had the exclusive
jurisdiction to hear and reduce fines. Ms. Greenhouse
stressed that she was not talking about the Board acting as
an appellate body, and she explained.
Ms. Greenhouse continued by saying City Attorney Rea was of
the opinion that Attorney Coffin's opinion may be the case.
However, since it is a debt owed to the City, the City has
the power to collect or not collect on that debt. Ultimately,
the Commission would determine whether it is going to
extinguish or reduce the fine.
Ms. Greenhouse stated Mr. Hawkins must start from "square
one", but the Board has already heard the matter. She
elaborated and alluded to the amount of unnecessary work
imposed upon Mr. Hawkins. The Code Enforcement Board's
proposal was in the packets of the Commission members, but
Ms. Greenhouse proposed that these cases come back to the
Code Enforcement Board, as they have knowledge of the facts,
so they can make a recommendation as to whether leniency
should be granted. She expounded.
Ms. Greenhouse told the Commission there is always one lien
appeal on the Consent Agenda at every Commission meeting,
and it is disheartening to see the Board's work "knocked out"
without the Commission hearing both sides of the issue. She
repeated prior statements. Discussion ensued between Mayor
Moore and Ms. Greenhouse. Ms. Greenhouse thought the Code
mandated that the cases go back before the Code Enforcement
Board, and she said the Board was willing to accept that
responsibility.
There was discussion. It sounded to Vice Mayor Olenik like
they would be replacing the City Manager's staff with the
Code Enforcement staff, which he thought would make sense.
Mayor Moore wanted it clearly understood that the Commission
would have the final say on whether or not the lien should
be collected or put on the property. City Manager Miller
thought they should let the Code Enforcement Board handle it
and see what happens.
Vice Mayor Olenik moved to send Code Enforcement liens that
request leniency back to the Code Enforcement Board for
subsequent reviews and recommendations to the City Commission
for a final determination of leniency. Commissioner Wische
seconded the motion, and the motion carried 4-0.

Mayor Moore requested that it be done expeditiously.
6. Amendment of Proposal~fpr Professional Services -
Tradewlnds Parcel (~ol~rlght Place PUD)
The Commission voted unanimously to approve the amendment to
the proposed contract with Walter H. Keller, Jr., Inc. for
traffic review serviees related to Tradewinds. The total
cost of the services will be $9,900 compared to the original
contract of $4,900.
City Attorney Rea explained to Mayor Moore how the scope of
the work to be done by Mr. Keller was increased. City
Manager Miller suggested 10% of this be held until such time
as the City is satisfied that Mr. Keller has met all of the
requirements of the City and has met with Tradewinds.
Mr. Cannon clarified that Mr. Keller was told on approxi-
mately November 15, 1989 that he could discuss any matters
concerning traffic with Tradewinds' Engineers, and he has
been in conversation with them. What Tradewinds told the
Commission tonight was a misrepresentation. Martin Perry,
Attorney for Tradewinds, strongly objected. Mayor Moore had
a report that somebody at staff level instructed Mr. Keller
not to talk to Tradewinds. He wondered how Tradewinds could
prepare a plan if Mr. Keller did not talk to them and come
forward with a recommendation to the Commission that would
make sense. Mayor Moore elaborated.
Mr. Cannon thought the applicant had some misgivings about
the list of improvements he submitted. Mr. Morton indicated
to him last week that he wanted the Commission to approve
the enhancement report. It was not until 3:00 Po M. today
that the Engineering Department expressed that Tradewinds
had very serious misgivings about the Commission approving
this list of road improvements. Discussion ensued about
Mr. Keller and the additional work.
Mr. Cannon confirmed that Mr. Keller did the additional work.
City Attorney Rea added that Attorneys Burman and Crittendon
told Mr. Keller the figures would be needed. Commissioner
Wische wondered why the Commission had not been given any-
thing involved with this. He asked how he could vote on
something he had nothing on. After discussion, Commissioner
Wische stated he wanted to see something in writing to see
~hether doubling the cost of the contract was warranted.
Vice Mayor Olenik moved to TABLE this item, seconded by
Commissioner Wische. Motion carried 4-0.

City better investigate the scope of the project. When they
bid, they are to do everything that is to be done on the
initial bid.

None.

TABLED
Mayor Moore requested that this item be removed from the
agenda as the.matter was resolved.
2. Boynton/Delray Boat Parade
Requests for Money
Mayor Moore recalled the City gave $3,000 for fireworks.
He questioned where the $3,000 went and thought the City
should set a precedent that before anyone asks for taxpayers
money to be put into any project, no matter how worthy it
is, he wants to see paid bills of where the money went.
He commented there was no barge, and there was to be $6,000
worth of fireworks.
3. Fax Machine
Vice Mayor Olenik wondered if they had to go out to bid on
this. William Sullivan, Purchasing Director, replied that
$1~500 is allocated for one in City Hall, but no one deter-
mined what kind of model they want. The one in the Police
Department should have fingerprint and photograph quality,
and it will be very expensive. The Utilities Department has
one in its budget, and they sent a requisition through for
it. Discussion ensued. As there is a centralized printing
service in City Hall, Vice Mayor Olenik felt that was where
the Fax machine should be.
It was the consensus of the Commission that there should be
a Fax machine at City Hall and a special one for the Police
Department.

BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
JANUARY 2, 1990
B. Items for discussion requested by
Vice Mayor Bob Olenik, Jr.
1. Emergency Medical Services Proposal
Vice Mayor Olenik told the Commission that Ocean Ridge,
Briny Breezes, and Gulfstream are in need of emergency medi-
cal services (EMS). He wanted the Commission to consider
the following:
1) Boynton Beach has a quality fire and rescue department
able to provide services to those communities. The City
also owns property adjacent to Ocean Ridge's Town Hall,
which currently is keeping the land owner behind the Town
Hall from gaining access to his property.
2) Ocean Ridge has a fire truck, an aerial ladder, and some-
what of a station behind their Town Hall. Their fire service
is not very efficient. The City currently provides their
rescue service. Ocean Ridge needs a cost efficient fire
rescue service and needs to resolve their problem with right-
of-ways.
Vice Mayor Olenik thought Boynton Beach may want to acquire
the station and the equipment (pumper and ladder) in Ocean
Ridge. The City could possibly move one of its rescue units
to the Ocean Ridge station without adding additional
personnel and still provide backup service to the City's
downtown area.
The City could also work in a "swap" of land where the
property the City owns in Ocean Ridge could be swapped with
Ocean Ridge to give the land owner behind the Town Hall the
right-of-way he needs to construct his residential units.
It would solve Ocean Ridge's problem and the problem of
fire rescue service in the barrier islands.
Vice Mayor Olenik thought the City staff would have to work
out the following:
1) Would Boynton Beach pay for anything it acquires if Ocean
Ridge is amenable to the deal, or would Boynton Beach get it
at some value? The City can charge for the services to
Gulfstream and Briny Breezes service and could do it within
the legal limits of time.
2) Should Boynton Beach charge Ocean Ridge for the fire and
rescue services it may now provide, or will the cost be off-

set by the fact Boynton Beach will gain another fire truck
and aerial ladder?
3) Would Boynton Beach sell or swap the land over there that
is in question at this time?
4) Will there be any cost to improve the station at Ocean
Ridge to provide whatever quarters are necessary for the
personnel there?
Commissioner Wische asked if Vice Mayor Olenik made any
preliminary investigation with the Town of Ocean Ridge.
Vice Mayor Olenik answered negatively, and he added the City
may find it to be economically unfeasible.
Commissioner Wische and Commissioner Weiner thought it
would be worth looking into. Mayor Moore said they would be
wasting their time, and he explained. However, he felt the
property situation should be resolved. Mayor Moore talked
to the developer, who is willing to give the City an exten-
sion backwards to the west of an equal square footage. The
developer will then work out the problem with the existing
right-of-way. He did not think the City should be looking
at going into voluntarily going into prime service to people
outside of the municipality. There was discussion.
Mayor Moore authorized the City Manager to investigate this.
C. Items for discussion requested by
Commissioner Arline Weiner
1. Focus Group on Children
Commissioner Weiner said about 1/5th of the City's popula-
tion is comprised of children under the age of 18 years,
and the need for children's services is growing. She
referred to a survey made by the National League of Cities
regarding children and families. The serious problems that
threaten families are child care, alcohol and substance
abuse intervention, schooling, and affordable housing.
Commissioner Weiner informed the Commission that Head Start
was started as a national program to provide early childhood
education for low income children, yet only one in five
eligible children attend such a program. She wondered if
that was true in Boynton Beach.
Commissioner Weiner apprised the Commission that the State
of Florida funds programs for drop out prevention, free

kindergarten, school breakfast, day care, foster care, etc.
She questioned whether Boynton Beach children are benefiting
from any of these programs and where the money is going.
Commissioner Weiner thought the Commission should have more
contact with and more input into decisions affecting the
City's children. She wondered when the City was going to
establish that liaison~ *with the Palm BeachCountySchoolBoard was added t o this
sentence. See l/16/9G
For purposes of future discussion and implementation, Minutes.
Commissioner Weiner asked the Commission to consider the
following programs:
1) The formation of a Task Force on Children to look into
the needs of children and families in Boynton Beach and to
make recommendations for future Commission policies.
2) A City sponsored conference on children. Commissioner
Weiner said experts should be invited to sit on a panel at
a public meeting called to broaden the City's awareness on
the needs of children and families.
Commissioner Weiner clarified her idea was to have a meeting
after the Legislative Session sometime in the middle of
June. She wanted permission from the Commission to begin
to move forward to implement the Task Force and sponsored
meeting. Mayor Moore thought the consensus was that the
Commission basically agreed with Commissioner Weiner in
principal. The City Staff can carry it through.
3) The formation of a permanent City advisory Board on
children.
It was the consensus of the Commission for the City Attorney
to draw up Resolutions for these three programs.
2. P.L.U.S. Program
Commissioner Weiner reminded the Commission that the City
contributed $50,000 to this drug abuse foundation prevention
program. Since then, the Commission has not had any infor-
mation on how the program is doing and how many Boynton
Beach children are involved. Commissioner Weiner asked the
City Manager to look into this and to report back to the
Commission. Mr. Hawkins had a quarterly report that just
came in last week from P.L.U.S. but said he would give the
Commission a written report with his recommendations.

3. Legislative Agenda
Everyone on the Commission had received a copy of Palm Beach
County's Legislative Agenda. Commissioner Weiner stated she
was going to attend all of the meetings she could. With the
approval of the Commission and the former City Manager's
cooperation, she had been lobbying this past year for an HRS
office in the City. An office was to open in Boynton Beach
this month until the last round of State cuts in November.
On January 17th, the Legislative Delegation will meet on HRS
issues. Commissioner Weiner asked that the City Manager
write to the Delegation, asking them to issue a place on
that day's agenda and the agenda of Senate District ~26.
She further asked for permission to speak, on behalf of the
Commission, on that subject before the two Committees.
The Commission agreed to this.
4. Boynton Beach Child Care Center
Commissioner Weiner reiterated that the staff was looking
into a trophy case*for the Center.
D. Items for discussion requested by
Commissioner Lee Wische
1. Special City Commission Meeting, January 10, 1990
Commissioner Wische wanted to hold a special meeting the
day after the election to (1) swear in the new Commissioner
and (2) discuss the possibility of settling Tradewinds.
After discussion, it was decided the meeting would be held
at 5:00 P. M.
CITY MANAGER'S REPORT
Indian Springs, Parcel 8
City Manager Miller passed out to the Commission an agree-
ment proposed by the Village of Golf. They want the City to
provide them with waste water services. The area is in the
City's service area. It was City Manager Miller's opinion
that if the City signed off on the waste water, the County
Health Department would issue the permit relative to pro-
viding water for the 37 acre proposed multi-family
development.
Mr. Guidry had concerns about signing off on the applica-
tions for the same reasons stated by City Manager Miller.
After explaining, he referred to the history of the property
*and the pur-
chase of cots
should be added.
See 1/16/90
Minutes.
25
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
JANUARY 2, 1990
and recalled a conversation that sometime in the future
there would be litigation between Boynton Beach and Ocean
Ridge relative to these acres. Mr. Guidry apprised the
Commission that the City has an Interlocal agreement with
the Village of Golf for the 500,000 gallons of waste water,
so he could not see the necessity of signing off. He
further explained. There was discussion.
Martin Perry, Attorney at Law, stated this went back about
ten years, at which time he was the Attorney for Water &
Sewer System $5, created by the owner of the development now
know as Aberdeen, and a company out of Canada that developed
Indian Springs. The sewer plant was developed for those
two developments. The plant was given to Palm Beach County
with a complex agreement.
In 1981, former City Attorney Jim Vance went to Attorney
Perry. The City had acquired land for a golf course. The
City needed utilities to build the golf course. There were
restrictions on third party users in System $5. Indian
Springs owned the acres by the Village of Golf. After
discussion, Attorney Perry entered into an agreement with
the City of Boynton Beach, agreeing to give the City water
and sewer for the golf course in exchange for utilities for
the 38 acre site. Subsequently, he brought in a zoning
application for the site with an acknowledgment that the
City could provide water and sewer for the site. This
became a significant issue before Palm Beach County. Based
upon Palm Beach County's approval, Attorney Perry said he
gets utilities from the Village of Golf, so it is a very
complicated legal issue.
Attorney Perry stated he was assured by former City Manager
Cheney and former City Attorney Vance that the City
controlled the utilities for that. He has a c'lient looking
to get utilities, and he thought it was unfair that they were
being held in the balance when they were the people who gave
the City water and sewer for its golf course.
Mayor Moore did not like having an issue of this magnitude
thrown at the City at the 12th hour. He wanted a report
from the City Manager. Discussion ensued about service
areas.
John W. Mosher, City Manager, Village of Golf, said this
has always been in their plan and in the water permit they
just received for the next ten years. They have an agreement
with the City of Boynton Beach to accept 500,000 gallons of
26
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
JANUARY 2, 1990
waste water per day. Mr. Mosher asked that this be increased
from their present capacity up to about 363,000 gallons a
day. The Department of Environmental Regulations (DER) wants
to know (1) the Village of Golf has an agreement with the
City for 500,000 gallons and (2) that the City of Boynton
Beach has the capacity to treat same at the Regional Waste
Water Treatment Facility. Mr. Mosher said their agreement
with the City was signed on October 31, 1985.

situation. The City Manager can tell the Commission what he

agenda could not be cut down. He referred to the approval
of licenses and contracts on water service and questioned
why the Commission should be bothered with that.
