A. Ordinances - 2nd Reading - Public Hearing
N
Proposed Ordinance No. O96-42 Re: Amend qualifications for
student appointments to Advisory Board on Children and Youth
Attorney Cherof read proposed Ordinance No. 096-42 by title only. He pointed out that
under the qualification section, it states "one alternate non-voting member". If this is to be
a regular appointment, the ordinance should be amended on second reading to indicate
that it is a regular position. He explained that because of the way it is worded, the
qu¢lification creates a position for an alternate non-voting member who resides outside the
City. He said the Commission may want that position to be a regular non-voting position.
It was the consensus of the Commission to omit the word "alternate" in the ordinance for
second reading.
Noone in the audience wished to address this item.

5-0.
Approve Request for Proposal (RFP) for planning consultant to
implement planning issues relating to the Visions 20/20 Plan
City Manager Parker-Hill reviewed the Notice of Requests for Proposal, which included the
ad that will be in the newspaper, the scope of services, and the qualifications that the
consultants should possess. The primary target areas are Boynton Beach Boulevard from
U.S. 1 to 1-95, Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard from 1-95 east to the Intracoastal, Ocean
Avenue, the Marina area, and U.S. 1 from the northern to the southern City limits to
Boynton Beach Boulevard.
The tasks required to be done by the consultants include the following:
Evaluate ail existing regulations to identify any inhibitors to economic development,
inhibitors to redevelopment in any of these areas, and look at traffic calming devices
and situations in our neighborhoods and zoning regulations with regard to
supporting crime prevention through the environmental design strategies.
Evaluate the existing improvements that exist. This would tie in those items that the
Visions group asked for in terms of new parking regulations for the downtown area
and the target areas, if needed, redevelopment plans in those areas, investigation
on-whether or not the CRA should be expanded either north or south and, if so,
what those boundaries would be.
Rewrite the downtown redevelopment plan and develop business area corridor
plans.
The City is currently developing a housing and neighborhood analysis plan for the
CRA and will be requesting consulting assistance with that. That plan will need to
be integrated with the HUD plan that we need to submit to the government to
become an entitlement city. This covers the areas outside the CRA (basically
Boynton Beach Boulevard south to the City limit and the C-16 Canal north to the
City limits). The inner CRA area will be covered in another plan for the HUD
program.

MINUTES
CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
OCTOBER 2, 1996
We expect that the consultant will be working with the various neighborhood groups
and the various constituent groups, such as the downtown business owners, the
Boynton Beach Boulevard Association property owners, and the applicable
businesses on MLK, U.S. 1, etc., in developing the area plans. The consultant will
also have to examine the Comp Plan, the existing charrette documents, and the
1986 downtown plan that was adopted. All the previous plans and exhibits will have
to be examined and redone as part of this.
Mayor Taylor inquired about the time frame. City Manager Parker-Hill stated that if this is
approved this evening, we will put the boiler plate City bid information on the street for
between 30 and 45 days. The Commission gave the Visions Task Force authorization to
screen the applicants and provide the Commission with three names and a
recommendation. They intend to do that within the next two to three months depending
on how many firms respond to the request.
Mayor Taylor asked about the time frame to accomplish this. City Manager Parker-Hill
advised that we are going to ask for a time line. Some of these things can be done very
quickly and some will take a year to a year and a half. We are going to ask the consultant
to,identify the work products that can be submitted within a short period of time, for
example, the zoning code review and revisions. Some of the planning issues, etc., are
going to take a little longer because they are going to have to meet with some of the
various groups and have more discussion. The consultant will provide a time line of the
various tasks. Nothing will be delayed. We will keep working on the smaller components
along the way.
Mayor Taylor said whoever undertakes this must understand that this will have to be
meshed with any ongoing programs or projects. We do not want to just come to a stop for
a year. We have a lot of things on the fire in the economic development area and he did
no~ want to see everything stop while we come up with this great plan. City Manager
Pairker-Hiil did not anticipate that this will be just one or two people. A team of people will
be needed to deal with all the issues we put forward. The Comp Plan has to be redone
and turned into the State by the end of next year. We have deadlines on ongoing projects
that will have to be interrelated with this.
Coimmissioner Bradley asked how much this is going to cost. City Manager Parker-Hill
an!icipates that this job can be done for the budget estimate.
Commissioner Bradley wondered if we should consider including the Intracoastal City-wide
in the scope of this project; not only the commercial and residential properties that might
5
MINUTES
CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
OCTOBER 2, 1996
be developed but also the Intracoastal itself as a right-of-way or thoroughfare. City
Manager Parker-Hill advised that we limited this strictly to what was in the Visions
document.
Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz asked if we are going to hire a consulting team or if we are going
to use our Neighborhood Specialist, Mr. Kotas, et al. City Manager Parker-Hill stated that
this work is going to be done by one of the larger planning firms. You have to have
sufficient staff in some depth because of the traffic issues, landscaping issues,
redevelopment issues, economic incentive issues, design issues, and parking issues. You
are not going to get one person who is an expert in all these areas. She imagined that they
are going to bring in a traffic consultant and a landscape architect as part of the team.
There are going to be various people on that team with areas of specialties that are going
to work together on this on a consulting basis.
Commissioner Titcomb felt that even though the charge has been to focus on the Visions
areas, it would behoove us to leave it open-ended for the firm to use their professionalism
to identify any other areas that might be issues affecting all of these issues. They need the
flexibility to go outside of these areas. City Manager Parker-Hill advised that one of the
tasks of the consultant is to investigate whether or not the CRA should be expanded. In
addition, we asked for a U.S. 1 corridor study from City limits to City limits.
Commissioner Bradley felt we should include the Intracoastal in the U.S. 1 corridor. He
said the City is the Gateway to the Gulfstream and we are talking about a nautical theme
for the downtown. He said it would be a shame if they are heading in an area and do not
have the latitude to branch out. Mayor Taylor asked him if he is talking about the water or
the land between the water and U.S. 1. Commissioner Bradley was talking about the land.
City Manager Parker-Hill advised that the land is part of the study.
Motion
Commissioner Tillman moved to approve the Request for Proposal for a planning
co0sultant to implement the planning issues relating to the Visions 20/20 Plan.
Commissioner Titcomb seconded the motion, which carried 5-0.

Manager Parker-Hill advised that the restrictions on the property have been in place since
1983. If the Commission would like to change them, we would have to approach the
Ocean Ridge City Commission. Commissioner Bradley would like to enter into some
discussion with them regarding the possibility of doing that. Mayor Taylor suggested
having a workshop on this matter.

Jim Wiggy has had a business at 127 E. Woolbright Road for the past 22 1/2 years. He

proposed with the in and out boat storage facility. Mayor Taylor advised him that this item
12
MINUTES

BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
OCTOBER 2, 1996
has been added to the agenda by Commissioner Bradley and Mr. Wiggy can speak about
it at that time.
Charles Cox, 205 N.E. 3rd Street, said he wrote a letter to the City regarding the two small
islands opposite his condominium that the City put in four years ago. He and his wife
accepted the responsibility of taking care of those islands at their personal expense. They
received a violation that those islands are a traffic hazard. They cut the trees as required
by Code Enforcement. A neighbor across the street objected to the trees being cut and
asked that the trees be removed.
City Manager Parker-Hill believes this situation has been taken care of. She advised that
staff will continue to work with Mr. and Mrs. Cox to deal with this situation.
Klm Kelly, owner of Cafe Barista, 529 E. Ocean Avenue, requested permission to allow
the merchants to hold another block party on Friday, November 1, 1996 from 6:00 p.m. to
midnight. The theme will be Trick or Treating in the Street, followed by Dancing in the
Street. They would like the street to be closed at 3:00 p.m. She has contacted the Police
Department and they have made arrangements to have two officers present. Ms. Kelly
would like to have a dunk tank and get some of the local police officers to volunteer to be
dunked. The proceeds will go to one of their programs, such as P.A.L. There will be live
entertainment, outside dining, and a food concession area. She is trying to get in contact
with the owner of Scully's to see if he would like to participate. A produce company and
other vendors will be participating. Two port-o-lets will be provided, as well as a dumpster
in the rear and approximately 10 extra trash cans and liners. The Recreation and Park
Department is going to provide a stage.
Commissioner Tiilman advised that the last Dancing in the Street had a negative impact
on the owner of Scully's market. The owner of Scully's was not contacted and was not
made a part of the plan.
Ms. Kelly stated that the owner of Scully's was verbally told about the last Dancing in the
Street. This time, memos will be sent to all the businesses along Ocean Avenue, not just
the 500 block. Basically, it is the 500 block merchants who are putting the show together.
Because of its location, she did not realize that it would have a negative impact on Scully's.
She pointed out that access was not blocked to the street on which Scully's is located. She
was willing to work with the owner of Scully's.
City Manager Parker-Hill pointed out that the City incurs overtime costs in Sanitation,
Recreation, and Police, and these are items that we did not budget for. The City can
13
MINUTES
CITY COMMISSION
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
OCTOBER 2, 1996
absorb one or two; however, if this is going to be a regular event, additional money may
be needed. Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz pointed out that this is somewhat of a commercial
enterprise and there can be commercial profit from it. She felt the merchants should pay
the expenses associated with it. She did not think the City should absorb the costs.
Ms. Kelly said the memhants are trying to promote the businesses and the redevelopment
of downtown. In addition, they are providing the whole City with live entertainment for free.
Commissioner Bradley suggested that she put a budget together showing the costs of
these events.
Ms. Kelly advised that she pays for the police officers during these events. Deputy Chief
Ted Padich confirmed that no overtime costs were incurred. Ms. Kelly also advised that
the Recreation and Parks Department does not set the stage up or take it down. They just
drop it off. The trash cans and port-o-lets are also just dropped off. The merchants set
everything up, pick up all the trash, and make sure the street is clean.
City Manager Parker-Hill stated that we consider this a partnership situation to bring people
downtown, to advertise the businesses downtown, and to let people know where downtown
Boynton Beach is. We paid the tipping fees, and we did not charge them rent for the
dumpster.
Commissioner Tillman did not feel comfortable approving this until we know that all the
bdsinesses are not going to be negatively impacted. Mayor Taylor pointed out that
Scully's complaint was that he was not given any notification; therefore, he could not adjust
his inventory. He will be getting about 30 days' notice and should be able to adjust his
inventory. He also pointed out that this only blocks traffic coming off of Federal Highway.
He asked Ms. Kelly if she carries any kind of activity insurance. Ms. Kelly advised that she
did not. Mayor Taylor was concerned about City staff dropping off the City stage and
haVing other people set it up and dismantle it. He asked if the City would be liable if
somebody is hurt while doing that. City Manager Parker-Hill advised that this stage is not
the large G.A.L.A. stage. It is a small portable stage. Ms. Kelly stated that it is only 12 by
12 and it is for one person to stand on. She put it together herself the last time.
Mayor Taylor asked if we carry insurance for the Tunes in Town concerts. City Manager
Parker-Hill advised that we have for two concerts, but she was not sure about the last one.
She said we were concerned about the liquor liability insurance. We have special event
coverage for City events. It was the liquor liability that we have to buy a separate policy
for, and it is very expensive. We have been letting nonprofit groups have the various
14
MINUTES
CITY COMMISSION
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA

concessions, and we have been absorbing the insurance costs. Other cities are not having
this liquor liability because there is statutory immunity up to $300,000.
Mayor Taylor asked what Delray Beach does when they have Jazz on the Ave nights. City
Manager Parker-Hill advised that the City of Delray Beach does not sell liquor on those
evenings. The individual businesses sell the liquor. However, it is a special event.
Commissioner Bradley asked Ms. Kelly if her liquor liability certificate covers alcohol being
sold inside and being carried outside. Ms. Kelly did not know. She pointed out that when
this was discussed for the first Dancing in the Street, the City said it was all right as long
as it was being served inside and consumed within the 500 block.
Commissioner Bradley questioned the liability if Ocean Mart does not participate in this
event and someone buys alcohol from them and consumes it. City Attorney Cherof
advised that it is not going to increase the liability of the City. However, it may affect the
liability of the vendor selling the alcohol, regardless of where the property is located.
Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz wished to defer final approval of this event until Ms. Kelly works out
the details, meets personally with City Manager Parker-Hill, and returns at the October 15th
meeting. Ms. Kelly pointed out that she has to hire people and put down deposits. If she
does that and this is not approved, she will have a problem. Mayor Taylor pointed out that
Ms. Kelly does not have much time to put this together, and she cannot proceed without
the Commission's approval. If approved this evening, Ms. Kelly promised to have
something in writing within 7 to 10 business days.
Commissioner Bradley wanted the participants confirmed within 7 to 10 days. If not, this
event cannot be held.
Commissioner Titcomb suggested approving this conceptually this evening pending
working out the details with staff, and giving it final approval at the next City Commission
meeting. City Manager Parker-Hill advised that final approval can be handled at the
Special City Commission on October 10th. Ms. Kelly advised that at that time, she will
have a budget showing all expenses, and all the vendors who will be participating.
Motion
Commissioner Bradley moved approval of the second 500 Block party, contingent upon the
receipt of a budget and a list of the shop owners indicating that they have no objection to
this event. Commissioner Tillman seconded the motion.

Mrs. Charles Cox said from what she has heard and seen, the Cafe Barista is the best
thing that happened to downtown Boynton Beach. Mr. Cox suggested that TIF monies be
used for these events. He said the City has collected over $1 million in tax increment
funding, and not a dime has been put in the Central Business District. It was redrawn so
it could be put elsewhere. City Manager Parker-Hill advised that all the medians on U.S.
1 in front of the stores were done with TIF money.
Scot Herman owns Distinctions Home Decor, 532 E. Ocean Avenue. He said we have
talked to every single business owner on the street and they all love the idea. He intends
to speak to Scully's tomorrow. The merchants had a meeting today and they are all
pitching in money. He said this is a great thing and we really need it. He hoped the
Commission would approve more of these events. He thanked the City for installing the
Palm trees on the street. City Manager Parker-Hill advised that the Palm trees were
donated thanks to the local businesses there. She appreciated all the help from the
businesses in that area.
Mayor Taylor stated that he was in favor of the first event because he thought it was a
good idea to try to let people know that we want to do something downtown and we want
to create some activity downtown. He was pleased with the turnout and thinks it went well.
He received one telephone call from a lady who said she could not hear her television at
10:00 p.m. that night, even with the windows closed. He would probably be in favor of this
one because he would like the people that were there last time to come back and see the
improvements (the street lamps and the new sidewalks). However, he was concerned
regarding whether or not the City can continue to financially support this. He pointed out
that if some businesses on Congress Avenue want to have a block party, they are going
to say that the City did it downtown, so they have to support us too. He said this is an
introduction to the downtown. If the merchants want to do this again, he would like to know
the actual costs to the City so he can make a better decision.
The motion carried 5-0,
Nd one else wished to address the Commission. Therefore, Mayor Taylor declared the
Pu!blic Audience portion of the agenda closed.

Benefits of economic incentives presented by Todd Kotas, Director of
Economic Development
Mr. Kotas reviewed his report on Economic Strategy Targets. He stated that the
newspaper indicated that business growth in the County is up 12 percent and the stock
market hit record levels today. The question is--Is Boynton Beach participating in that
grbwth within the South Florida area? He referred to the following statement in his report:
"A current goal of the Chinese government is that each resident receive one more
egg every four days. The extra chickens required to achieve this goal will annually
consume the equivalent of the entire grain crop of Australia ...."
HeI said they are planning in order to do that, and we should take the same type of stance
on ia target strategy to plan our future economic expansion.
Re!erring to the goal and vision statement, he said an economic development group or
community is focused to raise the standard of living for the community, as well as bring
new dollars into the community. The objectives are (1) to increase the income levels of the
citi~'ens of the city and to develop revenues for the community to continue the processes

to become a "World Class" city, and (2) invest in the city to transform nonrevenue
performing regions to areas that not only increase the tax base but also the quality of life.
Today's situation is not unlike a lot of cities throughout the United States. He said City
Manager Parker-Hill had made a statement that New York is not as bad as it used to be,
and that is through efforts of investment by the community in that area.
He referred to the Community Redevelopment Agency Taxable Values chart in his report.
In 1989/90 the residential was $20,132,525 and in 1996/97 the preliminary figure is
$23,952,388. He stated that this growth will not provide the tax base in order to maintain
the proper form of government or growth needed for the community. He referred to the
Quantum Park taxable values and stated that those figures, which are detrimental to
industrial growth in the community, rose in 1989 and 1990 but began to erode in 1992 and
1993. Some revaluations of those properties occurred; however, the reasons really do not
matter. You just do not have the tax base in order to tax.
We have seen a number of plans for various areas of the community, overall plans,
specific site plans, and community plans for the County. However, we do not have a
tactical method to raise investment by outside employers in this community. He referred
to the chart entitled "Economic Impact of Quality Jobs" and stated that 100 new
manufacturing jobs creates $1.9 million in personal income, $1.5 million in retail sales, $1.2
million in bank deposits, increases seven new retail establishments, increases an offshoot
of 64 non-manufacturing jobs, 102 more families, and 61 more children in the school
system. The chart entitled "Target Sectors for Incentive Allocation" correlates to what the
County is doing and also the State efforts. Our focus should be on the jobs that pay the
highest wages, which are manufacturing jobs. Highly skilled service sector jobs also can
be targeted. The unskilled service sector jobs, in which tourism falls, do not pay any
benefits.
One of the focuses of the community is the marina project. Based on a study by the
National Marine Manufacturer Association, a 200-berth marina that cost $5 million ($2
million for land and $3 million for improvements) creates .3 jobs per berth. This would be
a full service marina with 200 berths in the water. The actual job creation is not that great
for a marina type project; however, there are other offshoots of a quality marina project.
Mr. Kotas spoke of the available options and industrial incentives and assistance. He said
Boynton Beach is in competition with all other cities in Southeast Florida. Approximately
300 to 400 cities passed the local ad valorem tax abatement. You do not have to abate
the taxes for ten years, but you can focus it and direct it to the actual industry tailored to
the recruitment effort.

We need to develop an economic target industrial data base with utility rates, population,
and characteristics. Education is an important factor. The Detroit Free Press stated that
a K through 12 school system is probably your second most asked question by major
corporate relocators. Therefore, we will have to focus on this effort.
According to the American Economic Development Council, a dollar spent goes around a
community six times before it is actually exported into other factors. Manufacturing pays
over 30 percent of the benefit compensation package to benefits whereas service jobs
generally fluctuate below 10 percent. He stressed that the benefit package overall, not just
the wage, is important to the people who live in the community.
Mr. Kotas referred to the ad that Amarillo, Texas ran in USA Today in order to recruit
businesses. He said we need to be creative in our marketing and we need to allocate
funding to marketing the City. Mr. Kotas said he asked 20 individuals in Northern Florida
where Boynton Beach is geographically located, and only three of them knew. Therefore,
we need to do some PR work on Boynton Beach for an industrial recruitment effort.
Amarillo offered more than 1,000 companies $8 million each to locate facilities in Amarillol
Their population is about 150,000; however, Mr. Kotas felt if we tailor our advertising or
marketing campaign, we might be able to offer a couple million dollars in the form of
incentives.
We are in good times now for recruiters. Most communities are growing and recruiters
help speed up the process in a growth area. Quantum Park and the Marina area will
eventually develop. The question is, in what direction do you want it to develop?
Wi'~h regard to the Business Incentive Changes/State 1996, Mr. Kotas advised that the
Qdaiified Target Industry Tax Refund Program now includes printing and publishing firms.
The Job Siting Act thresholds have been dropped from 500 to 100. When they were at
500, there were no applicants for the Job Siting Act. The Capital Equipment Sales have
been generating a lot of activity lately.
The chart entitled "Financial Assistance for Industry" shows the competitive nature that we
arc facing throughout the United States in recruitment of other industries. Industrial
revenue bonds are being used extensively in the State of Florida, whether issued under
the State Pool or in a private form.
The Job Growth Incentive Grant Program tracks, from a legality standpoint, what we can
do las a community. We can discuss other methods, i.e., an investment pool of funds that
19

can be created by the City, whether it is a taxation process or some other areas for
economic development.
Any incentive dollars that you target towards an industry need to be targeted and not given
to every industry that walks in the door. You do not have to have a give-a-way program.
The communities in Illinois are targeting Motorola. Motorola is still in a growth process and
is looking at another site in the eastern part of the United States for another facility.
We need to target the states that have the highest cost of production, namely,
Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey. Florida deals lower costs of
opening a film studio to one-sixth of those in New York.
Mr. Kotas said incentives can increase employment, not only the wage levels, and allows
you to recruit major industries. The newspapers indicate that business growth is up 12
percent generally. He asked how long we will maintain this track of non-taxable properties
or properties that are not increasing on an annualized rate of inflation, even with our
residential at $23,952,388. Back in 1989 it was $20,132,525. He thinks an individual's
home is his major investment today and we all want to see that increase. Mr. Kotas hoped
to get into more details on these types of projects and incentives. He said there are certain
focuses that we need to present with limited dollars.
Vice Major Jaskiewicz referred to the chart entitled "Community Redevelopment Agency
Taxable Values" and asked if this refers only to the redevelopment area or the entire City.
City Manager Parker-Hill stated that this refers to the CRA only. She said Mr. Kotas'
presentation was a quick overview. Mr. Kotas will be .holding a workshop with the
Commission in the future on economic incentives. He will discuss where the City should
go, and what sort of target industries we should be looking at. Tonight the Commission is
going to be discussing two economic incentive ordinances that apply generically to the
CRA and the PIDs. The major PID we have in the City is Quantum. Decreasing
commercial values have been occurring in those areas, even with some of the growth that
we have been experiencing. The high school decreased Quantum Park by 40 acres. As
a governmental entity, they do not pay any taxes. Therefore, their taxable value was
subtracted. However, that does not account for the full drop between $45 million and $29
miIlion. Therefore, Quantum Park has not been increasing the way we had hoped it would.
City Manager Parker-Hill advised that two years ago, Mr. Shuttlesworth looked at Quantum
for his new studio, but we were not able to get that one. In addition, while we received
Motorola's new research and development office, they have been doing some other
20

expansions throughout the United States. We are hoping to get some more of their
business here.
Mr. Kotas stated that we need to develop a synergy around Motorola, target industries, and
be proactive. We cannot wait until the Business Development Board or some other
organization brings them to us.
C. Consider changes to Land Development Regulations
These changes are outlined in Department of Development Memorandum Nos. 96-063,
96-067, 96-068, 96-077, and 96-078, and Building Division Memorandum No. 96-320.
City Manager Parker-Hill advised that if the Commission agrees to these changes, they will
be incorporated into an ordinance for first reading at the next meeting.
William Hukill, Director of Development, reviewed some of the changes which he felt were
controversial. One of the changes deals with the appeal to administrative decisions. He
suggested that this process be institutionalized as follows: Any administrative decision can
be appealed by an aggrieved party. The appeal would go to the Director first. If not
resolved there, it would go to one of two boards. With respect to the Building Codes, it
would go to the Building Board of Adjustment and Appeals. The second level of appeal
fo[ this grievance would be the Courts. The other administrative appeals would go to the
Zoning Board of Appeals because the Planning and Development is not a quasi-judicial
board; it is an advisory board. Therefore, technically, it cannot rule on an appeal.
A third party appellant is required to post a bond if there is a potential for damage to the
City, the builder, or the owner if work is to be stopped. If work is stopped, it may cost the
builder money. This would hold the City harmless from any action that takes place.
City Attorney Cherof felt the issue of the surety bond or bond of some nature to stop work
might have to be fine tuned a little more. There are circumstances where the relief should
be at the City because we could react very quickly to it. However, there are times when
the nature of the project is of such a scope that we really do no want to get into the debate
between the developer and the next door neighbor. The relief should be to the Courts for
an injunction. The Courts are better geared to evaluate when an injunction should issue
and to establish in conjunction with that how much of a bond should be placed. If you
obtain an injunction from a Court, you have to post a bond. We do not really have a
procedure that is like the Court procedure to evaluate how much that bond should be.
However, there are still a variety of issues that we can address locally when a stop work
21

CITY COMMISSION
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
OCTOBER 2, 1996
order should be issued and when it is easy for staff to make that determination that it is a
clear violation of the code, such as lack of a building permit or an expired building permit.
Mr. Hukill said "conceptual feedback" is being defined because what the developer thinks
he will be getting when he receives conceptual approval is very different than what he will
be getting. Conceptual approval is being defined as an exchange of ideas and support for
a general idea, but provides no vesting of any kind whatsoever. He hoped this language
is used so that it would be defined for applicants.
Mr. Hukill
size of a
state that
defined it
made the changes that were suggested in the Comp Plan in 1989 or 1990. The
residential parking space is not defined. The Land Development Regulations
it is 9 by 18. However, a 9 by 18 parking space is not sufficient. Therefore, he
as being 12 feet instead of 9 feet.
In April of 1995, we stopped using performance bonds and went strictly to Letters of Credit
and cash. Most of the sureties we have received since then have been either an escrow
account or cash. The big ones have been Letters of Credit. There were discussions
regarding why we are requiring a surety on things that we are never going to own, maintain,
or have any control over. In addition, by requiring the surety, it is possible that we are
implying some level of service that we are going to provide if a contractor goes belly up.
Therefore, he suggested that what we have previously thought of as a surety for a planned
unit development for example, would cover everything the City is ever going to own or
maintain. Those things that it is not going to own or maintain would not be covered by that
p~rticular surety. That leaves a couple of open ends. Therefore, we have added two kinds
of restoration surety. We are requiring a restoration surety for on-site destruction based
on the cost estimate provided bythe design professional. That can be put in escrow and
would be handled like any other surety. The second surety that would still be required is
the one for off-site restoration. That is where somebody hauls dirt off the site or on the site
and tears up our roads. Therefore, on a conventional PUD, you could have three sureties.
They might all be one document, one check, or one pile of cash, but they would cover
restoration on-site, restoration off-site, and all of the publicly owned and/or maintained
improvements on the site.
A requirement that asphalt pavement be laid in two lifts instead of one has been added.
In a fairly large development, the contractors normally lay the asphalt down before the units
are built. If they do not have a second lift of asphalt, they tear it up with their own trucks.
Then when we get to the point when we have to improve it, we get patches. Therefore, we
are requiring that asphalt be put down in separate lifts, one before the units are built and
one after.

City Manager Parker-Hill referred to the section on curbs and car stops. She said
Mr. Hukill has taken one particular action that the Commission may have meant for the mall
and instituted it City wide. Commissioner Titcomb stated that in some of the smaller lots,
tire stops protect buildings and structures. He did not know whether it should be across
the board or whether we should consider raised curbing in lieu of wheel stops to allow
more green space at the edge of parking lots in smaller lots. Mr. Hukill felt the curb stops
should be pretty much everywhere, especially in the big parking lots because that is where
you have the traffic problem of cars cutting across the lots.
Commissioner Bradley stated that the reason the Commission waived the requirement to
put wheel stops in that particular section of the mall was because there are no wheel stops
anywhere else in the mall. However, that is not to say that we should not have wheel stops
in,other developments. Mayor Taylor and Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz were not in favor of
wheel stops.
With regard to banners, City Manager Parker-Hill advised that traditionally we have not
allowed temporary banners. However, we have had numerous requests for them.
Therefore, Mr. Hukill has changed the Land Development Regulations to allow temporary
banners for two weeks with some size restrictions. We usually approve banners for special
events. However, sometimes Code Enforcement cites new businesses for having grand
opening signs. Mr. Hukill said Code Enforcement is forced to cite them. However, if
limitations are in place and the people sign an agreement that they will removed them in
the event of storm, the City will have control. This regulation improves the every day
aCtivities of staff.
Ciiy Manager Parker-Hill referred to non-conforming signs. She said about five or six years
ago, the Commission adopted a date for removal of non-conforming signs, which was last
year. Mr. Hukill has now put in a new date of December 31, 1999. We have to discuss
with the City Attorney how to notify the people who have non-conforming signs about
removal. When the original ordinance was adopted in 1990, notification was not required.
Ci!y Attorney Cherof said there were some monumental changes in the law that dealt with
these amortization periods. The last time we discussed this, we requested feedback from
the sign industry. However, they did not respond. The case law indicates that the
or~tinance that we adopted a number of years ago that first established the amortization
period probably cannot be enforced the way it was written. He is not locked into the date
of !1999, but it is certainly worthy of some type of all-inclusive extension of the amortization
pe!iod or procedure where a specific sign owner can make application for an extension of
time, assuming that they could show the proper criteria or basis for an extension.

Commissioner Titcomb asked if five years is an arbitrary date. City Attorney Cherof
advised that five years is a date that was pulled from Court cases that have dealt with
amortization periods, and it is at the shortest level.
Commissioner Bradley asked if we will receive any credit for the previous five years. City
Attorney Cheref advised that if we use the proper language, it probably will be an extension
of that time period. Mayor Taylor felt this needs to be highly advertised to let people know
about this. City Manager Parker-Hill asked City Attorney Cherof about the legal notice
requirements. Commissioner Titcomb pointed out that the sign companies can do a lot
of the ground work and get involved from a nonconfrontational standpoint in getting the
word out when they promote replacement of signs.
Mr. Hukill referred to small satellite dishes. He said the requirements we have for the big
satellite dishes do not apply to the 18" dishes. Therefore, he classified satellite dishes into
two groups. The smaller dish will fit in a box and has much less onerous requirements.
However, you still cannot use it for advertising purposes. Previously, it this was impossible
to administer.
Mr. Hukill advised that there is a quirk in the Code which allows an action to go back to the
Planning and Development Board for final action after the Commission has made a
recommendation on a major/minor change. However, the Planning and Development
Board cannot take final action. Therefore, he reversed that order.
Mr. Hukill set up a second category of plats called a boundary plat, which is a sophisticated
survey. We have lowered the fee by two-thirds and shortened the time. We are trying to
encourage everyone to come in with plats on all their property so that we have a better
record instead of going through descriptions and going to the County Courthouse for
things. It is a second level of plat approval.
City Attorney Cherof advised that these changes will not come back in one comprehensive
ordinance. They will be broken into several ordinances for discussion by the Commission.
With regard to appealing administrative decisions, Mayor Taylor asked if the applicant will
have an opportunity to come to the Commission if his request is turned down by the Board
of Zoning Appeals. Mr. Hukill answered affirmatively, saying that the route is appeal,
Board of Zoning Appeals, City Commission, and then the Court. City Attorney Cherof
advised that we will probably streamline the hearing process so that we do not end up
cohducting three quasi-judicial hearings within a two or three month time period. The

D. The Marina Project
Commissioner Bradley said he received several calls from residents, property owners, and
interested parties in opposition to the boat storage facility. He is opposed to the boat
storage facility and giving incentives to Mr. Garcia. He felt that if we were getting exactly
what we wanted or dose to it, that we should open the coffers and bend over backwards.
However, he as afraid that in a couple of years that structure is going to set the tone and
hold back the kind of development we are looking for there. He would like to explore the
possibility of assembling 20 to 30 acres and look for developers world wide to see if they
would be interested in making our dream come true. However, he will not hold back the
plan if that is the desire of the Commission.
Marie Shepherd, 120 W. Ocean Avenue, said the property owners north of Boynton Beach
Boulevard are concerned about the effect the boat barn will have on all the property. She
read portions of some letters that Bailey Wilfred wrote to the Commission as follows:
The Community Redevelopment Advisory Board unanimously advised the City that
the five story boat storage building would be inappropriate for the redevelopment
of downtown Boynton Beach. This building will wall off approximately 10 acres
adjacent and to the north of the marina that should eventually be an extension of
the marina development. It will depress those land values and depress existing and
future growth and values of downtown Boynton Beach. The location and massive
size of the proposed boat barn storage building isolates the 10 to 12 acres to the
north of this proposed building. This land is so isolated now that there have been
reports of the homeless residing on some of the more wooded land.
Ms. Shepherd said she has had her property on the market for 20 years. She did not think
she was going to be able to sell property facing the back side of a boat barn. She felt it
would be much more advantageous to develop the entire 25 or 30 acres as one piece so
that the same perks that are being given to the developer would be offered to those who
might have a plan for the north side of Boynton Beach Boulevard. She felt we could work
this out in some way to the benefit of everybody.
Harvey Oyer resides at 512 N. Seacrest Boulevard and owns property from 511 to 531 E.
OCean Avenue. He said most of the people who have an investment in the downtown have
been stymied. He suggested that the Commission limit the boat barn to 45 feet in height
25
MINUTES
CITY COMMISSION
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
OCTOBER 2, 1996
and that it be a conditional permitting for a limited time and would have to be removed at
the end of a ten year period. He stated that the indecision and the drawing out of anything
year after year has tremendously affected the values downtown. He felt the biggest
detriment that we can have in that portion of the property is condominiums. The emotional
issues of height limitations have been primarily because developers have put in
condominiums, screened off the ocean, lake fronts, or Intracoastal, taken their profits, and
left. When you have a retail or office type occupancy, you have somebody who is going
to be an owner and manager who has to go along with the community, and you can put in
public easements or right of access. He suggested that if the boat barn is eventually
removed, that a hotel would have the right to be built up to 100 feet so that every
prospective developer does not have to renegotiate with the city government. There is
timing in real estate development. Somewhere down the line, we could have a good hotel.
However, to get the ball rolling, you need to make a commitment and let developers come
in under some broad parameters and not try to micro manage every investment in town.
Ken Blair, 825 Ocean Inlet Drive, did not feel that the boat barn is going to be high quality.
He felt we could develop this area as a high quality marina rather than a production type
in and out boat storage. He was a participant in Visions 20/20 and while at that conference
he heard many good ideas about developing the downtown. However, he did not hear very
much about a large in and out boat storage facility. He felt it would be worthwhile to wait
a little longer and consolidate some other properties to assemble something of high quality.
He did not think Boynton Beach should grab at whatever they can get now because it has
been waiting so long.
Dan Richter, 3565 S. Lake Drive, read a petition that will be circulated for signature by the
downtown property and business owners who are opposed to the erection of the proposed
boat barn as the anchor of the marina development, based upon the opinion that such a
structure and facility would materially depreciate the value of all properties in the area and
eliminate the possibility of future productive development of adjacent properties.
Mr. Richter questioned who would open a restaurant next to a boat barn, live in an
apartment near a boat barn, or open an office near a boat barn. He felt Mr. Kotas should
be the point man. He did not feel it is up to the individual property owners to find a
developer. The City must be proactive, accumulate this property, and try to attract the
Tambones, the Catalfumos, and all the developers that the City has not contacted. City
Manager Parker-Hill advised that she personally spoke to Mr. Tambone,
Mr~ Catalfumo, Mr. Simmons, and a few others.
Mike Friedland, 330 N.E. 26th Avenue, felt property values will escalate and explode
because of this. He stated that because we do not have a school, it is very difficult to
26
MINUTES
CITY COMMISSION
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
OCTOBER 2, 1996
compete with communities that have schools. He did not think this will be a deterrent to
the community. He felt it will bring people and excitement. He pointed out that the boat
storage facility is only one building. He believed that if the Commission lays down the right
contract, the restaurants and other stores will follow.
Lee Wische, 1302 S.W. 18th Street, was in favor of the boat storage facility. He pointed
out that in 24 years, no one has come in with a better use for the tand. No hotels have
offered to come in. We have someone who is willing to start a project in an area that has
been vacant as long as he has lived here. He felt we have a catalyst.
Tom Warnke, 625 Lakeside Harbor, stated that a barn (the Maxon Marina) was built in a
very good location near the Jupiter Inlet, and they were not able to get an anchor tenant.
In addition, that property has become worth half of what it was worth 10 years ago.
However, he felt the barn has to be there in order for Mr. Garcia to have any hope of
making a go of it. The question is whether it can be a viable property with the barn
producing only half of the income. If the barn is that far from the water and there is only
or~e small canal leading to it, when they use their huge forklifts to take the boats out and
put them in the water, they cannot run the forklift all the way down to the east end of the
property. Therefore, all the boats are going to have to be jockeying in and out all day
Saturday and Sunday. if there is room, they can put the boats on either side and then the
people who manage the property could walk the boats to the lift. He would like to see a
requirement that at least half the use be other types of use. The Quik Check shopping
center is available. If that could be an entrance to this property, it would feed Boynton
Beach Boulevard right into Boynton's water front. He requested that as the project goes
forward across from the Boynton Inlet, next to the Bay Club, that the view of the water be
preserved. That is the only place on U.S. 1 where you can see the Intracoastal waterway.
He believes the County has plans to put hedges and plantings there that will completely
obstruct that view.
Ken Hall, 110 S.E. 3rd Avenue, stated that banks require a marketing survey. He
suggested as part of any approval for this particular piece of property downtown, that the
COmmission require an independent marketing study to justify, on an economic basis, that
this four story boat storage facility will be able to be an economic productive item for the
City.
Commissioner Tillman felt that the original RFP that was put out in September of 1995
might have been flawed because it sought a developer. He felt we need an urban planner.
He; used the phrase "fast rise, fast fall" and felt we should not be too hasty. If we are going
27

CITY COMMISSION

to do something that is going to be of high quality, we are going to have to put all the
pieces of the puzzle in the proper prospective.
Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz was disheartened at this entire discussion, the attitudes reflected
this evening, and Mr. Wohlfarth's letters. This has been a dream and probably will
continue to be a dream until we finally agree on what we want for the City. Eighteen
months ago, she, Mayor Taylor, and former Commissioner Sid Rosen met for two days
trying to decide where the City was going to go. When campaigning, she heard what the
constituents felt the problems were, what they need, and how they wanted their
representatives to address those issues. One of the five priorities that she heard the most
about was downtown development. We have focused on all five agenda items over the
past 18 months. Budgets have been built around them. She felt every developer has their
own planner and architect and knows what is feasible. They do the market study, and they
are not going to put anything that is not feasible on that property because they are in it for
profit. Jack Simmons did a feasibility study and it was not marketable for a hotel. The boat
storage facility is 45 feet. In order to enhance the design, a copular was added, which is
10 feet more. Everything we wanted in the project is there, including the mixed use.
Mr. Garcia will not get a Certificate of Occupancy until the entire project is completed. We
took what we considered to be a stagnant, deteriorating piece of property and tried to make
it into something. She said two very astute business people have complimented the City
on down scaling this project. They told her not to try to make Boynton Beach into Boca
Raton or West Palm Beach. They liked it the way it is. They like to come down in their
shorts and walk along the waterfront. We are not out to emulate anyone else, but to create
a style of our own. However, if this makes everyone unhappy, we may have to wait
another 10 or 20 years.
Commissioner Titcomb was supportive of the City moving forward with downtown
redevelopment. He said all the concerns mentioned tonight, quality, conditions, and
possible future uses, can be worked in and protected as part of the process in approving
a project in the downtown marina area. He referred to Mr. Oyer's comment about city
government micro managing development projects and said in this ca~e, this really is an
issue of private property development rights. He felt we are giving incentives and signals
to a developer that we have given to every other developer in every other situation that has
come along for this potential project. The slogan of our City is Gateway to the Gulfstream,
and we profess to be a marine environment. Tourists come to this locality because of the
ecotourism, the waterfront, the fishing and boating, the marine environment, and the
beaches. This is an asset; a natural resource. It makes sense to store boats near the
water. He was not convinced that a boat storage facility is necessarily the right project for
this site. He would love to see some other projects; something more grand than what
28
MINUTES
CITY COMMISSION
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
OCTOBER 2, 1996
Mr. Garcia is proposing, but not as grand as what Mr. Simmons had proposed.
Unfortunately, nobody has come forward with such a project; nobody will build a hotel. No
one will bring forward the mystic seapod, tourist attraction type destination over the whole
20 acres downtown that might be a wonderful attraction to the marina environment. He felt
we need to spark development downtown and was supportive of sending positive signals
for the redevelopment of downtown. However, he wanted to safeguard the City and
citizens by applying appropriate conditions on the project that require total footprint
buildout, and nontransferability of any special conditions or variances that might be
granted. He wanted to get something going and let the designers, planners, architects,
and individual business entrepreneurs solve the unique problems of creating compatible
development projects around this project.
It was Commissioner Bradley's understanding that there is no way to have a time lapse
conditional use on this building whereby the boat storage facility would have to be taken
down after 5 or 10 years. City Attorney Cherof was not aware of any provision like this that
has been upheld by any Court that would permit the condition to be a limited use related
to time.
Mayor Taylor agreed with Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz that when they ran for office, one of the
major concerns of the people was to make something happen to the downtown. We
campaigned on that and promised the people we would do our very best to deliver that.
That was such a prominent thing that they put together a Commission that they thought
would work together, form a consensus, and move forward. He reminded his new fellow
Commissioners that they also campaigned on that very point-that they supported what
was trying to be done by this Commission, which is to do something in downtown
development. They both told the electorate that they agreed with the direction this
COmmission was taking and that they would work to make that happen. Mayor Taylor felt
the City has enjoyed a Commission that has worked together and tried to drive this City
forward. To this point, we have lived up to those promises.
He pointed out that people are afraid of change and are afraid to take a chance. He
pointed out that we are talking about a $15 million project and that the boat storage facility
is just one building in this project. It is not going to block the northern properties. It is
going to be facing the mangrove and nature walk. The developer has agreed to do the
outside of the building in a facade that matches the shops, apartments, and restaurants
that are going to go into that area. The people asked for a fishing village atmosphere, and
that is what we are giving them. Boats are part of a fishing village. He pointed out that we
have talked about getting boats out of people's yards in Boynton Beach. He said this is not
the anchor of the marina project. One or all of the three restaurants may be the anchor.

There are already two restaurants that want to locate there. With regard to a hotel, the
marketing surveys showed that nobody in their right mind would put a hotel down there
right now. Maybe once you create something down there you might be able to attract a
hotel.
Mayor Taylor said the City cannot afford to buy the properties in that area. The City is not
a developer and he was not in favor of using taxpayers' money to buy land on a chance
that maybe a developer might develop this.
MaYor Taylor stated that he has taken out-of-town investors to the area and asked them
what they could do with it. Not one of them has gotten back to him. There is nothing there
right now but dirt, mud, and rocks. You have to create something. You cannot expect to
hit a home run when you do not even have a bali park. Mayor Taylor pointed out that the
City of Boca Raton recently raised their utility tax to the maximum 10 percent to help offset
what they are losing on Mizner Park. He did not want to take our City in that direction.
He did not think the boat storage facility would depress property values in that area. He
pointed out that there is nothing down there right now, so the values can not go any lower.
If you create some restaurants and shops, you will get the traffic and the people down
there, create a waterfront environment, and property values are going to go up. We have
been waiting for 30 years, and he said the voters told him that they are tired of waiting and
are tired of indecision.
With regard to the City doing a marketing study, Mayor Taylor said if he was an investor
and was going to invest $15 million, he would do a marketing study. The City is not going
to make any money off this boat storage facility. This is the developer's take back for
pu~ting $15 million into the project. The former developer wanted 380 condominiums for
his payback. Mr. Garcia is also interested in developing the properties outside of this area.
Mayor Taylor said he made a promise to the people who put him in office and he is going
to work hard to deliver and make something happen downtown. They do not want to wait
anymore. They wanted a Commission that would take action.
Commissioner Tillman believed in voting his conscience and his conscience says this is
not right. He is in favor of quality development.
Commissioner Bradley stated that a boat storage facility serves a purpose and will bring
in TIF money. However, he felt it needs to be made very clear that once a boat storage
facility is erected, it will be there forever. There is no way to get a time limited variance.
AiSc, the owner or operator of that boat storage facility will have leases with people and it

will be impossible to end those leases in a Court of law. He would like to direct the
Economic Development Director to find out if there are any developers who would be
interested in a 20 to 30 acre project.
Motion
Commissioner Bradley moved to have the City Commission of Boynton Beach direct the
Economic Development Director to put together a brief proposal describing the properties
that are available and put that out to the public development community to see if there are
interested parties.
Mayor Taylor did not think 20 acres are available; however, Commissioner Bradley felt they
are and that with Mr. Garcia's seven acres, we will have 30. If a project is born, he
believed Mr. Garcia will get on board.
Commissioner Tillman seconded the motion.
Commissioner Titcomb asked if this action would interfere with the current project. City
Manager Parker-Hill said she spoke to Mr. Garcia's architect this morning to see what his
time table was, and he said he has been directed by Mr. Garcia to try to get a site plan into
the City by October 15th. If he does that, that will start the site plan approval process and
at that point, we would need to negotiate the developer's agreement with him that would
detail all the specifics that the Commission is asking for in terms of facade, landscaping,
square footage, etc.
Mayor Taylor did not feel that a City employee, who is being paid by the taxpayers, should
be marketing privately owned property.
Ms. Shepherd agreed that it is up to the property owners to do something. She stated that
the representatives of the old Winn Dixie are interested in working together on something.
She realizes that there has not been a market for her property for a long time. She said
at ,one time, the City was not working with the property owners and realtors had told her
that all you can find out from City Hall is what you cannot do with that property. First, thero
was a moratorium. Then you could not do anything unless it fit with the City design. Her
brother was going to buy her property and put something on it, but before he could get any
approval from the City Commission, he died.
Mayor Taylor read a portion of a letter from Mr. Wohlfarth, the realtor representing
Ms. Shepherd. It stated, "The Boynton Shopping Plaza to the west and adjacent to the
31
MINUTES
CITY COMMISSION
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
OCTOBER 2, 1996
Shepherd/BrownANeege Trust five acres has recently been transferred into a large holding
company. The shopping plaza has no interest in purchasing the Brown/Shepherd/Weege
parcel." Ms. Shepherd said they might be interested in selling it, not buying it.
Mr. Richter pointed out all the available property. Mayor Taylor knows those properties
are available. He has walked with the developers and the people who have the money to
purchase all that land. However, not a single one of them has expressed any interest.
Commissioner Titcomb asked if we could support Commissioner Bradley's motion without
jeopardizing Mr. Garcia's submittal and plans. City Manager Parker-Hill advised that
Mr. Garcia is spending money right now developing the site plan that he intends to submit
by the middle of the month. Commissioner Titcomb asked if we are tocked into an
agreement with Mr. Garcia which could turn into litigation if we withdrew. City Attorney
Cherof did not think we are locked into anything as of now. He did not think there is any
legal impediment to exploring other alternatives. City Manager Parker-Hill added that we
have not formally given Mr. Garcia any approvals.
City Manager Parker-Hill pointed out that the first question someone usually asks is the
price of the property. She also pointed out that this land is not on the Intracoastal. The
only frontage is Mr. Garcia's and a small portion of Ms. Hall's.
Commissioner Bradley pointed out that we have looked at 7 acres, not 20. Mayor Taylor
stated that Mr. Simmons looked for that. Commissioner Bradley stated that Mr. Simmons
would not put the money up to make the deal go through, even though we promised to give
him the money back. City Manager Parker-Hill advised that every time we spoke to a
developer, we have,shown them the Weege piece, the Shepherd piece, the motel, and the
Winn Dixie Plaza, not just Mr. Garcia's piece.
Commissioner Tillman asked what the RFP covered. City Manager Parker-Hill advised that
it was only for Mr. Garcia's seven acres. Commissioner Tillman agreed with Commissioner
Bradley that we have not presented a full package RFP. We presented a package for a
minute part of the area we want developed. He felt if we present a large package that the
response would be much different. Mayor Taylor pointed out that we do not have that
package to present.
Commissioner Tillman stated that if you put $900,000 worth of incentives downtown, and
this project goes up, the taxpayer is going to look at downtown and ask where his money
was spent. Mayor Taylor stated that they would be able to see a $15 million development.
Commissioner Tillman asked what the residents would get from this. Mayor Taylor pointed
32
MINUTES
CITY COMMISSION
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
OCTOBER 2, 1996
out that businesses pay the taxes. Commissioner Tillman felt we need to put together
something that is more viable. He is pro development, but he felt this does not go far
enough in terms of enticing or bringing in a better picture for Boynton Beach. He wanted
something better than what is being proposed.
Mayor Taylor pointed out that this was put on the agenda this evening as an item of
discussion. He felt Commissioner Bradley's motion, which will have a major effect on the
entire marina project, should be put on the agenda so that other people who may want to
speak on this will be aware of it. Commissioner Bradley withdrew his motion and asked
that this be placed on the October 15th agenda and that it include a report from Mr. Kotas
on the possible viability of putting properties together and the possibility of selling that to
a developer. He also would like some information on what parcels are available, and an
opinion about the viability of a master plan.
E. City Commission/Chamber of Commerce Workshop
Commissioner Bradley said he spoke to Kathy Shabotynskyj today and the Chamber of
Commerce was interested in making sure they met with the Commission before the end
of the year. Commissioner Titcomb said the Chamber of Commerce wanted to express
to the Commission the importance of meeting on a regular quarterly basis regardless of the
change of officers because they feel they are cementing a very good relationship with the
City.
It was the consensus of the Commission to hold the workshop on Monday, November 4th
at 7:00 p.m. in the Library Program Room.
F. Shopper Hopper
Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz informed the Commission that next Tuesday the routes will be in
place for the Shopper Hopper.
G. Advisory Board Appointments
Commissioner Titcomb said he was contacted by the Chair of the Education Advisory
Board. It seems they have a procedural problem with student appointments to that board.
They have had a situation where a student member graduated high school and has gone
onto college without resigning from the board. They cannot contact him for a letter of
resignation and this is holding them up from replacing him. The Chair of that board
wondered if we could develop a mechanism so that when a student graduates, they would

That will be the date of their resignation, unless they are reappointed.

D. Other
1. Monopole/communication tower moratorium
City Attorney Cherof stated that the Telecommunications Act of 1996, which deals with alt
forms of telecommunication, has created a tremendous amount of chaos and anxiety and
questions in the community, padicularly as it impacts the City's ability to regulate things
such as communication towers, dishes, cable lines, etc. There has been a developing
trend amongst a number of cities to adopt a shod term 90 day moratorium, which would
cut off any approval of any form of telecommunication device, tower, etc., while a number
of ;cities study the impact of the FCC regulations which are still being finalized and sod out
the rights of cities to charge fees, collect franchise fees, regulate, zone, etc. ail of these.
He recommended the passage of an ordinance imposing a moratorium of this short nature
because he thinks we will be able to sod out the impact of this act and the FCC regulations
and make sure that if there are controls that we could implement that we do so, and if there
are fees that we collect them, and if there are franchises that need to be handed out, that
we do so in the proper, enforceable fashion. If the Commission agrees to this, this will
come back for first reading at the next Commission meeting.
it was the consensus of the Commission to direct the City Attorney to put such an
ordinance on the next agenda for first reading.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS
A. City Manager's Performance Evaluation
Mayor Taylor reminded the Commissioners that at the last meeting, each Commissioner
agreed to have an evaluation for City Manager Parker-Hill by October 15th. He also
announced that City Manager Parker-Hill has agreed to stay in her position until November
22nd instead of leaving on October 15th. Since interviews for a new City Manager will not
be; held until October 19th and 20th, Mayor Taylor felt this is a big advantage to the City
and appreciated her staying longer.

B. Swale Parking
Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz stated that at the September Code Enforcement Board meeting,
a man who was cited for violation of maintaining his swale, advised that other people park
in ;his swale all the time and destroy it. Therefore, she felt the Commission's suggestion
about requiring the property owner's permission to park in his swale was a good one.
Mayor Taylor agreed that if you are responsible for maintaining the swale, you should be
able to decide who parks there. Commissioner Bradley concurred.
Mayor Taylor asked City Attorney Cherof to draft an ordinance to this effect. City Attorney
Cherof advised that he already found a model ordinance that has been in effect at a city
and has not been held unconstitutional yet.
City Manager Parker-Hill advised that Scott Blasie, the Code Enforcement Administrator,
did a survey of West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, and Riviera Beach. This information is
contained in the agenda package.
C. Response to Advisory Board requests
Mayor Taylor stated that he wrote a letter to the Chairman of the Community
Redevelopment Advisory Board and the Planning and Development Board, advising them
that the Commission is aware of the comments in their minutes and will be responding to
them. He asked the Commission how they feel about the Planning and Development
Board's suggestion about doing away with the Community Redevelopment Advisory Board.
Commissioner Titcomb was not in favor of merging these two boards. He felt we may be
putting the power of a lot of decision making that affects major projects in the hands of too
feW people if we did this. Commissioners Bradley and Tillman concurred.
Mayor Taylor will advise the Planning and Development Board that at this time, the
Commission sees no reason to discontinue the Community Redevelopment Advisory
Board. He felt the Community Redevelopment Advisory Board is a good sounding board
for the business associations.
Mayor Taylor stated that the Community Redevelopment Advisory Board thinks that people
are charged a fee to appear before them to discuss something. City Manager Parker-Hill
advised that those meetings are public meetings and there is no charge to conceptually
review something with them. However, certain regulations require recommendations from
the Community Redevelopment Advisory Board or an appeal to that board, and those

types of situations require a fee. Mayor Taylor asked her to send a memo to the
Community Redevelopment Board to this effect.
Mayor Taylor stated that some of the members of the Community Redevelopment Advisory
Board have brought up issues that are outside the CRA area. He asked if it is the
Commission's desire that they discuss issues outside the CRA area. It was the consensus
of the Commission that they should stay focused within the CRA. Mayor Taylor will advise
them of that.
XII. CITY MANAGER'S REPORT
A. City Hall in the Mall
City Manager Parker-Hill advised that the operating money got in this year's budget for the
City Hall in the Mall. However, the money for the furniture and capital improvements did
not. Therefore, $28,700 will be transferred from last year's Contingency Fund, leaving that
fund with $259,000.
Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz asked if the County is contributing anything. City Manager Parker-
Hill advised that the County is contributing in kind, not in cash. They are printing the
brochures and we hope they are going to print all of our bus schedules. They will also be
contributing staff and volunteers to staff City Hall in the Mail.
B. Referendum
City Manager Parker advised that we have a referendum coming up on the 1st Tuesday
in November. The City can only do informational advertising, not proactive advertising.
we are preparing some flyers and some sample ads, assuming that the Commission wants
staff to do some advertising. She asked the Commission how extensive they want to
advertise this. She suggested two half page ads in the Boynton Times for two weeks prior
to the first Tuesday in November. She also suggested putting flyers out at the City
buildings and providing the members of the Commission with flyers to distribute as they
see fit.
Commissioner Bradley suggested advertising this in the Post as well. Mayor Taylor
suggested putting a quarter page ad in the Post because some people do not read the
BOynton Times.
