PRESENT Gerald "Jerry" Taylor, Mayor Shirley Jaskiewicz, Vice Mayor Matthew Bradley, Commissioner Henderson Tillman, Commissioner Jamie Titcomb, Commissioner Chamber of Commerce Stormet Norem Kathy Shabotynskyj Chuck Mucciolo Dave Showalter Dan Richter Mike Bottcher Rick Leonard Marilyn Ready Wilfred Hawkins, Asst. to City Manager James Cherof, City Attorney Sue Kruse, City Clerk Boynton Beach Blvd. Association Sal DeCanio Art Rowe City of Boynton Beach Staff Pete Mazzella - Utilities Department Todd Kotas - Economic Development Coordinator Beth Bailey, Public Information Officer Bill Hukill, Director of Development Tambri Heyden, Planning & Zoning Director Dale Sugerman, Assistant City Manager Marie Shepard, Woman's Club Micheline Many Al DeMarco 1. INTRODUCTIONS Mayor Taylor called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. All present introduced themselves. 2. UPDATES ON PRIOR DISCUSSIONS Ms. Shabotynskyj added the following items under Item 5-New Ideas/Issues: A. Temporary Banners B. Detour on Woolbright Road C. Marina Clean-up MEETING MINUTES SPECIAL CITY COMMISSION/CHAMBER OF COMMERCE WORKSHOP BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA NOVEMBER 4, 1996 CITY ITEMS: A. Restaurant Outdoor Seating Fees Pete Mazzella distributed an analysis of the pros and cons of this issue. (A copy of this analysis is attached to the original copy of these minutes on file in the City Clerk's Office.) The City has a section in the Ordinance which levies a Capital Facilities Charge to new businesses or residences tying onto the system. This charge is intended to pay for the construction of the water and sewer capacity. For restaurants, the charge is levied on a per-seat basis of approximately $150 per seat. This is a one-time charge which is paid when the facility is built. If the facility is expanded, additional charges are levied. Boca Raton, Lake Worth and Palm Beach Gardens approach this issue similar to us. Palm Beach County bases the utility charges strictly on meter size. Fort Lauderdale charges a flat fee for all commercial, and increases their user rate to finance their expansions. Fort Lauderdale is not growing at the same rate we are growing. It is not certain we would be able to do this. Enforcement would be easier if temporary seating was not counted. Mr. Mazzella confirmed that the fees of the different cities are not the same. During the summer, a comparison was done for large businesses that were considering moving into Quantum Park. The comparison was among the City of Boynton Beach, Palm Beach County Utilities, Broward County Utilities, and other cities. In every case, our capacity rate was lower than the other utilities. Ms. Shabotynskyj advised that this request arose from several restaurants indicating to the Chamber that they could not have outdoor seating because it is cost prohibitive. The Chamber requested that staff provide a recommendation or method for the City to promote outdoor seating. Mr. Mazzella pointed out that there is a distinction between what is outdoors and indoors, and what is permanent or temporary. The City's peak demands do not occur during the peak season (November I through April 1). They occur from May through October. If restaurants want temporary seasonal seating, it should not raise the City's peak demand so that the system capacity has to be increased. Perhaps the City could consider not charging for those temporary seasonal seats as long as they are removed by May 1. Commissioner Bradley is in favor of further investigation of this suggestion. He questioned whether restaurants that have already paid for outdoor seats would have to be rebated. The right-of-way issue is something else to consider. He is in favor of allowing a limited number of outdoor seats at no additional charge. Ms. Shabotynskyj advised that the restaurant owners would be happy to be able to provide seating on their own private property. 2 MEETING MINUTES SPECIAL CITY COMMISSION/CHAMBER OF COMMERCE WORKSHOP BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA NOVEMBER 4, 1996 In response to Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz' question, Mr. Mazzella advised that Code Enforcement tries to enforce the Code in this regard, but it is very difficult. As violations are discovered, they are advised to pay for the seats or remove them. Utilities would not have a problem with tables that are not service tables or that are being used as a waiting area. Dan Richter feels that if the City is trying to encourage businesses to locate in Boynton Beach, the flat fee of $150 per seat is a problem. He likes the idea of temporary seating, and feels the restaurants should be allowed a certain number of seats free of charge if they are on their own property. The flat fee for indoor seating is acceptable, but flexible seating arrangements should be encouraged for outdoors. Commissioner Bradley was of the opinion that the City would have to eliminate future fees for businesses that already have outdoor seating, and want to participate with temporary seasonal seating. Mr. Mazzella pointed out that many restaurants have permanent outdoor seating. Those restaurants should continue to be charged. With regard to the right-of-way issue, Mayor Taylor suggested that the City of Delray Beach be contacted to see how they handled this issue. We can develop our own plan if theirs is not suitable for Boynton Beach. Ms. Shabotynskyj requested that the Chamber be provided with the information staff brings back. Major Construction Projects: Federal Highway, Bridge, Boynton Beach Boulevard, 1-95 Bill Hukili, Director of Development, distributed a bar chart indicating projects in design. (A copy of this chart is attached to the original copy of these minutes on file in the City Clerk's Office.) The construction of Miner Road is currently underway. The anticipated completion date is March, 1997. The City of Boynton Beach is two years away from the commencement of construction on the bridge. In the middle of 1998, the bridge will be closed. Construction should be completed at the end of the year 2000. The bid date for Federal Highway has been set for January 31, 1997. The completion date of the project is the end of 1998. Their tentative plan is to begin at the north end at the Canal and work south. However, the contractor is allowed latitude in managing the project. The 1-95 Auxiliary Lane Project refers to the extra traffic lane. This project has a long construction life because they will award this contract and the HOV lanes for MEETING MINUTES SPECIAL CITY COMMISSION/CHAMBER OF COMMERCE WORKSHOP BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA NOVEMBER 4, 1996 a period of 620 days. This project extends from Linton Boulevard to Hypoluxo Road. The noise walls are attached to the construction of the HOV lanes. The noise walls will run from Linton Boulevard to Hypoluxo Road. Mr. Hukill asked for clarification from DOT regarding where the sound walls will be located, but no response was forthcoming. Commissioner Bradley said he has been trying to find out this information because there is a point between Woolbright and Boynton Beach Boulevard that will not be included. After reviewing some recent information from the State, Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz was of the opinion that area would be included. She offered to provide Mr. Hukill with the information she has. City's Bridges - Mr. Hukill advised that the previous Mayor wanted attention given to the City's bridges. Funds were included in the budgets for the past year or two to improve those bridges. That project is underway with the help of Public Works and a consultant. The City anticipates completion of repairs on six of the bridges by the end of January, 1997. No improvements will be made to two bridges on Gateway Boulevard. In addition, there is a bridge on the extension of SW 23rd that will not be improved. This is a bridge the City once intended to abandon. To encourage the City to keep the bridge open, FPL gave us a park. In response to Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz' question regarding Gateway Boulevard, Mr. Hukill advised that we have attempted to negotiate a contract with the County Engineer's Office for the past year. The County would like the City tO manage the project, produce the documents, and administer it. However, the City does not have that capability. The City is working to change this obstacle. The only other option we will have is to go to the County Commission to ask them to have the County Engineer handle this project. Mr. Hukiil expects resolution of this problem within the month. Mr. Hawkins questioned whether any changes can be made to the plans for Federal Highway. Mr. Hukill advised that FDOT has been very reasonable and done almost everything we asked them to do. Mayor Taylor advised that the owner of the Pantry is very upset because the median cut has been eliminated in front of her store. Mr. Hukill advised that he was unaware of this situation, and offered to put her in touch with the Project Manager. C. Neighborhood Specialist Position Mr. Hawkins advised that the top two candidates turned down the City's offer. We are now in the process of reassessing the list to determine whether someone else on that list will be given an offer, or whether we must readvertise. Part of the problem was the salary. 4 MEETING MINUTES SPECIAL CITY COMMiSSION/CHAMBER OF COMMERCE WORKSHOP BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA NOVEMBER 4, 1996 However, in addition, one candidate found another job and the other decided he did not want to leave his current position. Mr. Sugerman advised that the same problem is being experienced in hiring an ITS Director. A national search was conducted and resulted in 170 candidates. The list was narrowed down to 16. After testing, the list was further narrowed down to 8. Seven of the eight were interviewed, and there were two top candidates. Both candidates refused the job because of the salary. They were looking for approximately $10,000 more than the $60,000 range we offered. Both candidates are used to salaries of approximately $75,000. D. Facade Program On August 2, the City Commission approved the establishment of the Facade Program. They set aside $50,000 for businesses and residents in the CBD. Mr. Kotas distributed copies of the procedures that will be used. At this point, discussions have not taken place with the banks to set up a contractual arrangement; however, the loans will be made through participating banks. They will not be administered by the City. The City will approve the applications before they go to the bank. The maximum loan amounts are $20,000 for businesses and $12,000 for residents. The City will not regulate colors or aesthetics; however, there wilt be a range that must be adhered to. There is an additional $50,000 pool of money in direct grants. We are in the process of getting that contract approved. The County will not go back on a retroactive basis. Mr. Kotas advised that the program is in force, but the procedures must be worked out with the banks. Funds are available now. Approximately $10,000 from the City's program has been allocated to date. CHAMBERITEMS: A. Extended Years in Office Ms. Shabotynskyj advised that the flyers were prepared and distributed. In addition, this issue was addressed to all Chamber members in the Chamber newsletter. Mayor Taylor complimented the Chamber for taking on this issue as a project. 3. ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION TOPICS A. Visions 20/20 Implementation Mayor Taylor spoke with Bob Hill to ask him to relay to the Task Force our need for more frequent reports. We have requested feedback at least on a monthly basis. This Task Force is meeting and working very hard and they are on top of the project. Commissioner Bradley reminded everyone that Commissioner Titcomb requested that this MEETING MINUTES SPECIAL CITY COMMISSION/CHAMBER OF COMMERCE WORKSHOP BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA NOVEMBER 4, 1996 become a permanent agenda item. That has not happened yet. Ms. Shabotynskyj explained that she serves on the Task Force. The process is quite lengthy. The Task Force is paying consultants to do some planning which is the bulk of taking information from where it was to where it will be. The community should have a Visions update bulletin board or some sort of visual indication of what is happening. She recommended that projects underway be shown as Visions projects. She further suggested that a Visions Highlight be included in Funfare and the City's newsletter. The Task Force is reluctant to share what it is doing because the members are discussing, filtering and working towards goals. However, the community needs to see that something is happening. The community does nOt realize that progress is being made. Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz explained that the City initiated the implementation of a City-wide Appearance Code. Visions was partially responsible for that implementation. A number of residents have offered favorable comments about the way some of the neighborhoods are looking. She suggests that before and after pictures be taken of the blocks that have been rehabilitated. Ms. Shabotynskyj advised that in Delray Beach, any project that used referendum money was called a "Decade of Excellence" project. We need to create a similar master marketing plan. Another suggestion would be to issue a quarterly Visions Newsletter to everyone who attended the conference. Commissioner Tillman suggested that the City issue lapel pins to everyone in the City, and in particular, to people in certain positions. These pins are good public relations tools that will identify the City. Mr. Kotas recommended that one item from Visions be targeted. Ms. Shepard pointed out that young people bought the duplex on Ocean Avenue between Seacrest and First Avenue. They have done a beautiful job of relandscaping and adding decks. She suggests that people be recognized for these successes. Ms. Many agreed that commercial projects get write-ups, but neighborhood revitalization projects are handled singly. She recommends that a sign be made, and as these projects are identified, they can be recognized with the sign placed on their property for a month. Ms. Many said she would be happy to knock on doors to compliment the people who are improving their properly and to advise them that they will be recognized. Commissioner Bradley felt a comprehensive approach is needed either on-line or in conjunction with other things such as atthe Friday morning breakfast. Ms. Many disagreed because that mechanism is limited to a small group. People are reached on the streets. d MEETING MINUTES SPECIAL CITY COMMISSION/CHAMBER OF COMMERCE WORKSHOP BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA NOVEMBER 4, 1996 Commissioner Tillman agreed with Ms. Many's remarks. He recommended that one area be targeted. Neighborhood associations can work with the City Manager's Office. Photos can then be displayed at meetings to show the improvements that have been made. Mr. Norem said it is hard to do some of the things associated with Visions 20/20. The implementation Task Force is charged with developing the plan. They are doing that and advertising with the City for the consultant. The plan may not be forthcoming until next spring. However, once that is done, it will be time to review it and set it. Small things can be done in the residential areas with the help of the Neigborhood Specialist. Mayor Taylor recommends putting a sign on the project on Woolbright Road and US #1 showing that the development is part of Boynton's Visions in progress. Mayor Taylor was pleased with Mr. Hukill's chart that indicated the start and finish dates of projects throughout the City. That is what he was hoping to receive from the Task Force. He would like to know the Task Force's goal for the plan. Ms. Shabotynskyj pointed out that when Cracker Barrel decided to come to Boynton, a sign was placed on the property stating "Boynton Welcomes Cracker Barrel". She felt this was a good idea. Mayor Taylor explained that Mr. Morton put the sign up. She suggested that the City institute a plan whereby Boynton Beach welcomes new businesses. A question was raised about whether or not the Commission had given any more thought to having an independent CRA. Commissioner Titcomb recalled such discussions at the time of the approval of the Task Force going out for a consultant. It was understood that the consultant would make recommendations regarding an independent CRA. Ms. Shabotynskyj did not have the same recollection. She recalled that there was a clear recommendation in the Visions consensus statement that there would be an independent CRA. Commissioner Titcomb was under the impression that the Task Force's role was to identify and prioritize the items in the Visions document. Commissioner Bradley agreed that at some point, an independent CRA will be formed. However, the question remains when that will happen. Mr. Hawkins advised that a workshop meeting called "Development Strategies" has been scheduled for December 12. This is one of the things that the Commission will receive factual information about. B. Marina Development 7 MEETING MINUTES SPECIAL CITY COMMISSION/CHAMBER OF COMMERCE WORKSHOP BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA NOVEMBER 4, 1996 The site plans for "Boynton Marina" were submitted late Friday. Those plans will go through the processes and the hearings will be scheduled for January. C. High School Construction Expectations The School Board came out with a plan listing where and when certain schools would be built. Boynton Beach High School was listed in the year one. The school out west was listed for year four. Ms. Shabotynskyj advised that this topic has been discussed monthly by the Chamber's Education/Business Partnership Committee. A recommendation was made to send a letter to the School Board urging them to commit for a high school now. The intention is to put pressure on the School Board. In addition, a request was made for the magnet component at Congress Middle School. Commissioner Bradley explained that we are not looking for a magnet program; however, we would like the school upgraded and the curriculum in place. Mr. Hukill feels Arline Weiner will probably win the School Board seat and is a vote of support for the City. That would provide three solid votes. The middle school that was planned for construction has now been tied up by the Audubon Society, and the School Board is now looking for a different site for that school. However, that results in a significant time delay and would free up those funds to be used for another project. Commissioner Bradley agreed with the need for a fourth vote. Mr. Hukill further advised that the newspaper article was staff's recommendation, not the School Board's recommendation. That recommendation is not necessarily final. He feels certain Boynton Beach High School will remain at the top of the priority list. However, the priority list is set up so that the order follows elementary, middle and high school. Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz reminded everyone that the School Board said they would concentrate on the projects that were not completed from the 1986 bond issue. She assumes they will not forget about the high school. Ms. Shabotynskyj urged the City to send correspondence to the School Board asking them to reassess their priorities now that the land for the middle school is tied up. D. Blue Ribbon Task Force The Chamber has a task force which is in the initial stages. However, without the City's assistance and staff participation, this project cannot work. The Chamber would like the City's help putting together an action team and starting a marketing program. She recommended Tambri Heyden, Bill Hukill, and Todd Kotas as the best people for the job MEETING MINUTES SPECIAL CITY COMMISSION/CHAMBER OF COMMERCE WORKSHOP BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA NOVEMBER 4, 1996 of working with the Chamber to assist developers. She reported that people are saying very nice things about Bill Hukill because of his assistance in solving problems. Mayor Taylor suggested that the Chamber formally submit a definitive request explaining what the Chamber is attempting to accomplish. E. Master Plan MLK Corridor This item was addressed earlier by Mr. Hawkins. 4. UPDATE ON BOYNTON BEACH BLVD. ASSOCIATION - Dr. Sal DeCanio A. Request for CRA Funding Dr. DeCanio reported that the Boynton Beach Boulevard Association has been in existence for approximately 16 months. In an effort to continue the work of the Association, and expand its efforts, the Association is requesting that the City contribute $7,000 from the CRA. The Association's 1997 budget has been set at $11,000. They can raise $4,000 from memberships. The $7,000 would be used for banners, landscaping, and visual signage to build up the City's image from 1-95 east to Federal Highway. To date, private funds have been used to clean up Boynton Beach Boulevard and maintain it. Mayor Taylor advised that Boynton Beach Boulevard is a State highway. However, the City has allocated funds for irrigation and trees after the Boulevard is resurfaced by DOT. In addition, the City agreed to plant the trees and maintain them over time. Trees will be planted along the sides of Boynton Beach Boulevard in the rights-of-way. Paver bricks will also be installed at the intersections of Boynton Beach Boulevard and Federal Highway, Seacrest Boulevard and Boynton Beach Boulevard, and Federal Highway and Ocean Avenue. Mayor Taylor recommended that the Boynton Beach Boulevard Association submit a formal request explaining how the money would be spent. Dr. DeCanio further advised that the Boynton Beach Boulevard Association also proposes a banner program. The City Manager has already provided information on what is allowed and what is available. The Association would require funding for this program. A suggestion has been made to solicit Galaxy Elementary school children to help create the design for the banners rather than using the City seal. Chuck Mucciolo reported that the discussions revolved around having these banners be generic in nature to stimulate interest. Mr. Kotas suggested that the design be somewhat whimsical and include a City-adopted logo. MEETING MINUTES SPECIAL CITY COMMISSION/CHAMBER OF COMMERCE WORKSHOP BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA NOVEMBER 4, 1996 Commissioner Bradley feels this is a good idea, but reminded everyone to make sure anything that happens is in conjunction with the system already in place. Mayor Taylor recalled the letter from the City advising that the City would provide the hardware and manpower to install and remove the banners. He asked for clarification on what the Association would be paying for if the City is now being asked for the funds to purchase the banners. Ms. Shabotynskyj said the Association would match the City's contribution. She said they are working to get the design, and keep the information out in front of the people. She was not certain it would be a 50/50 deal on paper because you cannot put a price on the legwork involved. She said they would figure out a way to make this project worth it for the City. She feels the City will get $30,000 worth of impact for the $7,000 contribution. The $7,000 funding request would include landscaping, banners, signage and maintenance. Dr. DeCanio said the ongoing maintenance of Boynton Beach Boulevard is a problem because it is constantly necessary to request City departments to intervene. Certain property owners are not fulfilling their obligations. Commissioner Bradley suggested that the property owners who are not cooperating receive a special assessment. Chuck Mucciolo advised that the plans prepared by Kilday's office and submitted to DOT for bid were reviewed at the Association meeting. The reviewers noticed that there were a few species of trees that would be totally bare at the height of the season. They came up with alternatives which have been signed off on by Kevin Hallahan. Those alternatives were submitted to Mr. Kilday's office for inclusion in the documents. The alternative trees are flowering trees that meet DOT's criteria. Dr. DeCanio commended Mr. Mucciolo for offering to spend one hour of his time with each merchant along Boynton Beach Boulevard to review their property and provide some advice on improvements that can be made. Mr. Norem questioned whether or not the City allows vacant commercial properties to be improved with landscaping. He advised that he has a vacant piece of property next to his parcel which he wanted to improve approximately 10 years ago. The City denied his request. Mr. Hukill was surprised by Mr. Norem's remarks. He pointed out that Code Enforcement pursues people who leave dust or dirt open in the City. He does not believe there is anything that would deter a person from improving a vacant piece of property with landscaping. He offered to check out this situation if Mr. Norem comes forward with a request. ]0 MEETING MINUTES SPECIAL CITY COMMISSION/CHAMBER OF COMMERCE WORKSHOP BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA NOVEMBER 4, 1996 Ms. Shabotynskyj advised that there is a project in Delray Beach where they have worked out contractual agreements with vacant property owners to landscape their lots. Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz said she learned from Jay Alperin that they were able to get people to upgrade their properties by giving a specific time period to make the improvements, or they were cited. B. Other CRAB Issues/requests Dr. DeCanio reported that a wish list has been submitted to the Community Redevelopment Advisory Board. The Association is in communication with that board. Dr. DeCanio said he has a vision of how the entranceway to the downtown should look. Some of the Code Enforcement issues raised by the Association have been addressed. He thanked the City departments for their assistance. He mentioned that manpower assistance may be necessary to maintain the Palm trees that were planted on private property. Mr. Hawkins advised that the City has done some work in conjunction with the Boynton Beach Boulevard Association. Ms. Shabotynskyj said she will talk with Kevin Hallahan about fertilizing the Bougainvillea that is planted around the Palm trees. Mr. Hawkins pointed out that the agreements stated the property owners would maintain the landscaping. The City can make this a Code Enforcement issue. Ms. Shabotynskyj offered to find someone to donate fertilizer. Ms. Many pointed out that the majority of people do not know how to take care of Bougainvillea. She suggested preparing a write-up advising people how to maintain this plant. Mayor Taylor suggested that Kevin Hallahan be asked to prepare the write-up. Ms. Shabotynskyj offered to circulate that article. 5. NEW IDEAS/ISSUES A. Temporary Banners Ms. Shabotynskyj advised that Olive Garden wants to put up a temporary banner across the bottom of their pylon sign for approximately two weeks that says, "Now Hiring". They are not allowed to do it even though there is no Code that addresses temporary banners except for grand openings. The businesses need a solution to their need to hire employees. Olive Garden is willing to pay a fee and do this on a temporary basis. tt MEETING MINUTES SPECIAL CITY COMMISSION/CHAMBER OF COMMERCE WORKSHOP BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA NOVEMBER 4, 1996 Mr. Hukill advised that the Ordinance which addresses this situation will go before the City Commission tomorrow night. The Land Development Regulations establish sign sizes and time for this. It is included in Chapter 21. Mayor Taylor advised that he will have questions about this because he does not want to see "Now Hiring" signs all along Congress Avenue. B. Detour on Woolbright Road Ms. Shabotynskyj feels the necessity to be more proactive regarding detours. On Federal Highway, people are given an option to turn right or left at Woolbright Road. She recommends that a sign be put in place directing people left to get to the beach. Mr. Hukill recommended that the Chamber submit a request that can be presented to the different agencies since Boynton Beach Boulevard is a State road, and Seacrest and Woolbright Roads are County roads. C. Marina Clean-up Ms. Shabotynskyj advised that there have been volunteers cleaning up Mr. Garcia's property for the last seven months to make it more attractive. She commended Bob Eichorst and the Public Works Department for helping to clean up the debris at no charge. 6. WORKSHOP MEETING COMMITMENT & SCHEDULE 1997 A. NEXT MEETING DATE SET There was a consensus of the group to continue these meetings in 1997. Everyone felt these meetings are very productive. The meetings will be in February, May, August, and November. City Clerk Sue Kruse will advise of the dates available for these meetings in 1997. Dale Sugerman advised that the City's Human Resources Department is preparing an orientation video which shows the departments and how we function. He requested assistance in finding someone who has a radio-style voice to do the voice-overs on the video. Ms. Shabotynskyj advised that WDBF is a member of the Chamber. There are two or three people there who would probably agree to do this. In response to Mayor Taylor's question, Mr. Sugerman advised that new employees are given a tour of their home base of operation. They do not have a tour of all facilities. This orientation video will show the various departments. t2 MEETING MINUTES SPECIAL CITY COMMISSION/CHAMBER OF COMMERCE WORKSHOP BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA NOVEMBER 4, 1996 Ms. Shabotynskyj offered to make a presentation during orientation sessions. Ms. Shabotynskyj presented the new issue of the Chamber's Annual Guide and Membership Directory. In addition, she reminded everyone of the upcoming Annual Dinner/Dance. Mayor Taylor feels Boynton Beach is setting the lead for the County with the institution of "City Hall in the MalF. He feels other cities in the County will be copying us. 7.
