A. Informational Items by Members of the City Commission
Commissioner Ferguson commented on the sign for the Boynton Beach High School and pointed
out an agreement had been signed in 1999 for the school district to maintain the area for the
sign. The maintenance of the area has not been done for quite some time. After viewing the
sign, Commissioner Ferguson compared it to a carnival sign, and felt it was a mistake that the
City had no right to approve the sign. He remembered the seven acres in front of the high
school were to have been set aside for affordable housing for teachers. Commissioner
Ferguson felt the Commission should balance the need for the sign and what had not been
done by the school board.

3. Presentation by Mark Veil from Caler, Donten, Levine, Druker, Parter &
Veil, for the approval of the 9-30-2005 City of Boynton Beach Annual
Financial Report.
Mark Veil, of Caler, Donten, Levine, Druker, Parter and Veil, reviewed the Financial
Report. He explained the four sections of the report were an introductory section, financial
section, statistical section and compliance section. He reported the independent auditors report
opined the City's financial statements are in proper form. The City's assets exceeded its
liabilities by $260M. The net assets increased by $17.8M. The governmental funds had an
increase of $9.3M that is an unreserved fund balance. The City remains in good financial
condition. In the governmental activities, revenue increased $9M and expenses $2M. Property
taxes increased $1.3M due to growth in the tax base. Investment earnings increased over 83%
as a result of increased cash reserves and interest rates. Charges for services increased $2M,
capital grants increased $3.4M and transfers into governmental activities increased $l.4M. In
business activities, net assets increased $l.4M, charges for services increased, as did
investment earnings. A new standard implemented for increased disclosure was debt securities
and grouping by maturity including the credit rating of the securities. There were no issues in
terms of internal controls. The management letter contained items easily corrected with policy
changes including improved coordination of information on pensions and payroll, an added
check on raise increments, a procedure for tracking exchange purchases for resale and surety
bond collections and follow-up. A copy of the entire report is on file in the City Clerk's office.
Commissioner McCray noted the increase in the tax base and revenues of 6%. He asked for
assurances that all information would be available to the public.
Vice Mayor McKoy asked for clarification on the raise increments concern. Mr. Veil simply felt a
final verification should be undertaken to assure accuracy.

4. Presentation explaining red tags being issued for debris.
Commissioner McCray explained he had asked for information for the citizens after he had
received complaints that debris was being placed at the curb and the City was refusing to pick
up the debris. In light of the approach of another hurricane season, Commissioner McCray had
requested information be provided on the policies and procedures associated with debris
picku p.
Jeff Livergood, Director of Public Works, noted the red tags are a courtesy tag explaining the
problem with the debris and not any type of citation. He explained an ordinance had been
enacted that allows debris to be placed at the curb within 24 hours of the scheduled pickup.
The tags were being used as a teaching tool. Charges for debris pickup are made when the
pickup exceeds the normal allowable amount or size. The information has been distributed by
way of the tags and inserted in the water bills. Vegetation amnesty weeks are scheduled for
the week of June 5th and again in August depending on the success of the first pickup.
Commissioner McCray suggested utilizing the youth in the area to distribute notices on the
vegetation amnesty weeks. Mr. Bressner suggested the Neighborhood Services Manager could
also assist with the program.
5. Establishment of Building Department Hotline
Commissioner McCray had requested this item be added to the agenda for the public record.
Mr. Bressner explained the purpose of the hotline and urged the citizens to use the hotline for
any issues dealing with the Building Department. Personnel has been added to alleviate the
backlog of permits. Ms. LeJeune is the liaison between the City Manager's office and the
Building Department. Mayor Taylor added there had been staffing problems and storm damage
related permits bogged down the system. He felt the solution was in place to solve any
concerns.
IV. PUBLIC AUDIENCE:
INDIVIDUAL SPEAKERS WILL BE LIMITED TO 3-MINUTE PRESENTATIONS (At
the discretion of the Chair, this 3-minute allowance may need to be adjusted
depending on the level of business coming before the City Commission.)
Robert Brown, 702 S. Seacrest, questioned the red tag process and suggested if the larger
pickups were picked up gradually it would be cleaned up with time. He also wondered if the
amnesty week applied to vacant lots. Mr. Brown further suggested the audio discs for public
meetings be kept longer than two years to preserve the history of the City.
Gary Fishman, Diane Drive, explained the Department of Transportation had come in and
cleared out all the vegetation between his community and 1-95. This increased the noise level
significantly along with vandalism. A barrier wall had been constructed but not completed. He
sought the assistance of the Commission in getting the barrier wall completed from Diane Drive
to the L-30 canal.

Dee Zibelli, 1811 Meadows Circle, reported rules had been established for proper decorum
of the public officials and staff. She contended one Commissioner had breached the standards
and suggested an apology was required directed to the staff and to the public.
Tina Smith, 15 Velaire Drive, referred to a meeting June 3, 2003 regarding the church being
constructed on Hoadley Road including not widening the road and the maintenance of the
vegetation buffer. Ms. Smith submitted the destruction of the vegetation buffer had now
created a drainage problem. Mayor Taylor contended the microsurfacing is an effort to control
the drainage problem. He agreed staff would look into the situation again to address Ms.
Smith's concerns.
Nanell Bennett, 133 NE 16th Avenue, spoke representing Jarvis Prince, who was not able to
attend the meeting, regarding an incident involving Commissioner McCray. Ms. Bennett read a
letter alleging harassment by Commissioner McCray of Mr. Prince continuing at his place of
employment and at his church. The letter threatened civil action if the City would not protect
Mr. Prince from such harassment.
David Zimet, Boynton Beach CDC, 2191 N. Sea crest Boulevard, thanked the Commission
for their support and announced the annual community awards dinner on May 10th, honoring
Gertrude Sullivan and Sister Lorraine Loran for their service to the Community.
No one else coming forward, Mayor Taylor closed the public audience.

Meeting Minutes
Regular City Commission
Boynton Beach, FL
May 2, 2006
Eric Johnson, Planner, consolidated the items relating to Harbor Cay and reviewed each of the
requests. He described the property and its location. Staff recommended approval as the
proposed use is consistent with the intent of the Redevelopment Plan and meets the criteria for
land use amendment. The proposed use and site plan is consistent with the zoning regulations
contingent on the 84 conditions of approval. There will be no adverse effect on the
infrastructure and it would have a positive impact on the community. Mr. Johnson explained
the adjacent property uses and that 20 du would be the maximum density. Mr. Johnson
pointed out the proposed use would be 16.09 duo All concurrency requirements have been
satisfied including potable water. He reviewed the site plan submitted noting parking
requirements were met and the landscape buffers were adequate in width. Building 5 needed
special consideration as it was adjacent to another zoning district and the current setbacks were
not in compliance with the Code. Three options were available to the developer and another
site plan had been submitted which still did not meet the requirements of the Code. The CRA
recommended Building 5 have a pitched roof instead of a flat roof requiring the setback to be
an even greater distance. Staff recommended the building, or a portion of the building, be
reduced from three stories to two stories. The applicant has submitted a drawing reducing the
eastern end to two stories. The request for land use amendment, rezoning and site plan are
recommended contingent upon all the conditions of approval.
Mayor Taylor confirmed the site plan would not be addressed until the second reading of the
ordinances for amending the land use and rezoning. Commissioner Ensler asked the applicant
address all the issues including the use of potable water and the art fee before the site plan
approval would be addressed.
Richard Brooks, Architect, 3350 NW Boca Raton Boulevard, handed out a brochure to
the Commission, a copy of which was not given to the Clerk. Mr. Brooks asserted the 1.4 acre
site had a private road that passes through the project. The character of the project is an older
estate that includes townhomes and a plaza. Mr. Brooks contended the project was unique and
requested a deviation for only a 15 foot setback for Building 5.
Commissioner Ferguson confirmed Mr. Brooks' request was for only a five foot variance.
Commissioner McCray asked if there was agreement with the 84 conditions of approval. Mr.
Brooks felt most conditions could be met; however, they would be requesting the 15 foot
setback for Building 5 referring to condition 64. Commissioner Ensler asked if similar roof
designs had been incorporated and Mr. Brooks agreed. Mayor Taylor was concerned if the roof
pitch on Building 5 were changed, the setback would be even greater and a problem to be
solved. Commissioner Ensler noted there was no request for a variance to be decided in
conjunction with the new site plan request.
Sid von Rospeunt, CEO of Groupo Tango, the parent company of Harbor Cay, further
explained the redesign of Building 5 and suggested the setback for the roofline is now 20 feet
beyond the requirement. The highest point is 30 feet from the property line. Mr. von Rospeunt
advised the south property line abuts two different types of zoning. He felt the improvement of
the fence line to the single family area would conceal the distance and units whether it would
be 15 or 20 feet.

Request to rezone from Community Commercial (C-3) to Industrial
(M-1) (1st Reading of Proposed Ordinance No. 06-045)
Attorney Cherof administered an oath to all those intending to testify and explained the
procedure to be followed.
Hanna Matras, Economic Planner, reviewed the two requests and located the property along the
FEC railroad right-of-way. The adjacent properties are Local Retail Commercial and zoned C-3
or Medium Density Residential and zoned R-2 duplex. Staff recommended approval because it
was consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and the M-1 study adding to the industrial land.
The project also reduces the non-conformity with regulations and demand on the public
infrastructure and services. The requirements of the Land Development Regulations have been
met.
Tom Carney, representing the applicant, mentioned they concurred with the staff
recommendation and recognized the current zoning is not compatible with the use. With the
rezoning, the uses would be consistent with the zoning and add to the possibility of
improvement.
Mayor Taylor opened the issue for public hearing.
Randall C. Bone, President of RCB Electric Co., Inc., 4558 Palo Verde Drive, had
proposed in 2001 to buy the property. Occupational Licensing had refused his request because
the type of business proposed was inconsistent for the area. In the process, Mr. Bone lost a
contract and he alleged, if the change requested is granted, he would lose a significant amount

of money. He read a letter he had written to Mr. Rumpf requesting an appeal of the denial for
an Occupational License. The letter requested a Code review. He contended the business he
was proposing was consistent with other businesses in the area. Mr. Bone asserted his company
may have been discriminated against in the approval process. He felt the matter should be
brought to the attention of the Commission because he was not treated fairly. Mayor Taylor
inquired where the current business is located and Mr. Bone indicated on Industrial Drive.
Mr. Carney confirmed the use pattern for the property had not been consistent with the current
zoning. Since that time, an extensive M-l study was done by the City and the proposed
rezoning is consistent with that study.

Ed Breese, Principal Planner, described the location and area of the alley. The applicant
asserted the alley is not being used as a right-of-way. All adjacent properties have other means
of access. There are existing utilities and the alley will require conversion to a 10 foot utility
easement. Staff recommended approval with the conversion to a utility easement.

use/new site plan approval for the construction of 3,538 square foot church and
a 1,712 square foot daycare center within a single structure, and related site
improvements on a 0.666 acre parcel zoned C-2.
Attorney Cherof administered an oath to all those intending to testify.
Ed Breese, Principal Planner, reviewed the request of the applicant and the location in the MLK
overlay zoning district. The site plan was displayed and explained. The provision of a daycare
requires the application to be reviewed as a conditional use. All the standards for a conditional
use were met and staff recommended approval.
Mike Sipula, of MS Architectural Design Inc., architects for the project, indicated there
was agreement with all the conditions of approval.
Mayor Taylor opened the issue for public hearing. No one came forward.
Commissioner McCray questioned the rejection of the landscape triangle. Mr. Breese explained
Engineering felt a smaller area could be utilitzed.
Commissioner Ensler inquired if the project was in Phase II of the Heart of Boynton plan.
Quintus Greene, Director of Development, replied the property was in the area that could be
considered as Phase II. He cautioned Phase II had not yet been clearly defined until the
completion of Phase I. Commissioner Ensler suggested the matter be deferred until after the
discussion of Phase I and Phase II of the Heart of Boynton plan. Mayor Taylor did not feel it
would be feasible to defer the matter. Mr. Greene informed the Commission the location of the

Church was the result of a land swap from the Phase I area. Commissioner Ensler requested
input from Intown Development on the church's location and the impact for redevelopment.
Bonnie Miskel, on behalf of Intown Development, responded the location is within Phase
II. Mr. Greene commented the redevelopment plan for Phase II did not extend to Federal
Highway and could be part of subsequent phases depending on the Public Works parcel and
future relocation. Commissioner Ensler asked if the church would hinder the redevelopment
and Mr. Greene asserted the church would further the redevelopment of the Heart of Boynton.

to develop 15 affordable housing units specifically for the elderly.
Christopher Plummer, consultant for the R.M. Lee Community Development Center,
indicated the CDC would be partnering with the St. John Missionary Baptist Church to develop
the site for rental housing. The project would improve the neighborhood and provide affordable
housing for the elderly. He advised plans are to purchase two other lots for a contiguous site.
Commissioner McCray felt if the plan were to enhance the area around the St. John Missionary
Baptist Church, he was pleased with the plan.
Mayor Taylor opened the issue for public hearing. No one came forward.
Motion
Commissioner McCray moved to approve item VIII.H. Commissioner Ferguson seconded the

IX. CITY MANAGER'S REPORT:
A. Requirement for underground utility lines for all new development
Jeff Livergood, Director of Public Works and Engineering, reported on the evaluation of
requiring underground utility lines. The Land Development Regulations require new utility lines
be placed underground. The cost for the placement is borne by the purchasers of the individual
lots. An option would be to also require underground utility lines on rights-of-way adjacent to
new developments to be paid for by the developer. Mr. Livergood qualified the requirement for
projects where it is neither feasible nor practical to require underground lines. In those
instances a fee would be collected and the funds are aggregated and used by the City for other
advantageous locations. Florida Power & Light is now offering 25% of the cost to place utility
16
Meeting Minutes
Regular City Commission
Boynton Beach, FL
May 2, 2006
lines underground. Mr. Livergood cautioned even though the distribution line may be
underground, the lines to the homes would be a private expense in existing developments.
Commissioner Ensler asked for clarification of those instances where the utility lines could not
be underground. Mr. Livergood responded the utility lines in older developments, consisting of
single family homes east of 1-95, would not be candidates for underground lines. Also, Infill
developments are not included in the requirement. Commissioner Ensler was not in favor of
assessing any additional fees.
Mayor Taylor believed the cost would ultimately be borne by the home buyer whether it would
be through FP&L or a developer. This would contradict the concept of developing affordable
housing. Mayor Taylor agreed with the need for underground utilities; however, the cost was
an element also. He did not favor any additional fees.
Commissioner Ferguson pointed out the underground lines eventually have to connect to the
transformers aboveground.
Mr. Livergood commented everyone agrees it is a great idea, but very difficult and involves a
huge expense, especially in older communities. Mayor Taylor added the repairs for
underground lines are more time consuming also.
Mayor Tayior declared there was consensus not to change the current Land Development
Regulations.
Sergio Casaine, 18 Meadows Park Lane, questioned if there had been a comparison
analysis of the damage cost involving aboveground cables versus the cost for underground
cables. Mr. Livergood replied that type of analysis had not been done, but should be done
nationally. A break-even analysis by FP&L would be needed on a scale much larger than the
City.
Commissioner Ensler requested information on the delta to underground an adjacent right-of-
way. His opinion was the added expense would be minor.
B. Continued Discussion on Study of Police Pension Issues
Mr. Bressner explained the item was back on the agenda for further discussion and to clarify
the parameters of the requested analysis. He explained any changes in the operation of the
three pension funds would need City Commission approval. Specifically the police pension has
proposed a complete revision to the fund ordinance. Actuarial services have been approved to
review the need for any recommendations or changes. An external review by the Segal
Company was authorized to address any economic impact of any pension fund changes.
Mr. Bressner summarized the modifications requested by the Police Pension Board. The first
modification eliminates ambiguous and duplicate language for ease of administering the plan.
Next, the method of funding and calculation of the benefits has been revamped to be entry age
17
Meeting Minutes
Regular City Commission
Boynton Beach, FL
May 2, 2006
normal by changing the funding method to 30 years rather than 15 years for each member.
This would reduce the initial annual cost to the City.
On the funding method, Commissioner Ensler recapped that the obligation remains the same
just spread out over a longer period of time. Bill Mummert, Director of Finance, added any
gains or losses are an unfunded liability. The entry age method would amortize the liability
over 30 years rather than 15 years and smooth out the payments avoiding fluctuations.
Commissioner Ensler asked if the change would have any effect on the people in the pension
plan and Mr. Mummert replied it would not.
Commissioner McCray requested completion of a 30 year analysis. Mayor Taylor was satisfied
with the information provided and felt another 30 year analysis was not needed. Commissioner
McCray felt full consensus was necessary to implement any change. Commissioner Ferguson
was content with the 30 year method of smoothing.
Mr. Bressner continued with the third item involving the assumed rate of return on investments
from 8.5% to 8%. Mr. Mummert explained the impact would increase the annual contribution
by the City because the revenue source had been reduced. The benefit is the amount that
would be closer to the actual returns in the plan and decreases the losses incurred on interest
revenues. Commissioner Ferguson felt it was a good suggestion. Mr. Bressner commented in a
good market it may cost more, but a bad market loss would be spread out over a longer period
of time and moderate the cost of losses over time. Again, Mr. Mummert stressed the change
would not affect the individual's pension benefit. Mayor Taylor declared there was consensus
that no further analysis would be needed.
The fourth item was increasing the benefit by one-half percent to 3'/2% in the multiplier
calculations. Not included in this change would be those individuals who have entered the
DROP plan or have already retired. Mr. Mummert added there would be a hard cost involved
and it was estimated to be approximately $385,000. Commissioner Ferguson requested a
determination of the cost to increase the benefit for all employees. Commissioner Ensler saw
the need to be competitive with other municipalities including a maximum figure. He noted
some departments have different employee contribution rates. An internal and external
compatibility analysis was requested by Commissioner Ensler.
Lt. Gary Chapman pointed out the benefits for each group of employees are not the same and
the cost associated with each plan also varies. Lt. Chapman felt comparing the Police plan to
the other employee plans was not appropriate due to the nature of the work and physical
stamina required of police. The request is simply to stay competitive in the industry. The
DROP plan is a hybrid defined contribution program and saves the City some monies. He
noted a cost of living option had not been requested.
Mayor Taylor agreed the Police Pension should not be compared to other departments or
pension plans. The contracts are negotiated independently so the pensions should be
independent. Mayor Taylor wanted not only to be competitive, but also to attract the best
employees.

Meeting Minutes
Regular City Commission
Boynton Beach, FL
May 2, 2006
Commissioner McCray indicated he did not need a 30 year analysis or a comparison with other
departments in the area. He did want a unanimous decision to show support for the Police
Department. Commissioner Ensler reiterated he wanted financial analysis over a 30 year period
and a comparison with other cities including the rate, employee contribution and maximums.
Commissioner Ferguson wanted to know the cost of converting to 3V2% for all employees.
Sergio Casaine, 18 Meadows Park Lane, commented a revision period is needed to plug
the unfunded liability into the equation. He contended there could be an affect on the
individual pension benefit if the unfunded liability drags out. Federal rules and regulations
dictate the guarantee of funding. Mr. Bressner held the City was not subject to the Federal
regulations; however, State law requires all pension funds be actuarially sound.
Commissioner Ferguson retracted his request for data on the impact of changing to 3112% for all
employees. The item will be brought forward at the first meeting in June for action by the
Commission.

A. Discussion of CRA.
19
Meeting Minutes
Regular City Commission
Boynton Beach, FL
May 2, 2006
Commissioner Ferguson purported the Community Redevelopment Agency Board was to have
been a buffer between the developers and the City Commission. Recent meetings revealed to
Commissioner Ferguson that the board had lost its focus. He proposed first, to dissolve the
current CRA board; two, that the Commission sit as the CRA board; three, the current chair and
vice chair be appointed to the new board for a six month period. Commissioner Ferguson
contended this arrangement should continue until after election when the new Commission can
decide the fate of the CRA board.
Mayor Taylor felt changes have been made to resolve many of the issues including election of a
new chair and vice chair, plus new policies and procedures for the board. In his opinion, the
board should be given the opportunity to work through the projects and problems. Mayor
Taylor opposed abolishing the board.
Vice Mayor McKoy opposed dissolving the CRA board also. New leadership was addressing the
concerns with a corrective action plan, policies relating to the conduct of the board members
and other new policies and procedures.
Commissioner Ensler supported the CRA board but was concerned about the lack of due
process in judging the individual board members and the entire board.
Commissioner McCray indicated he had met with the new chair, Henderson Tillman, and he
feels the board is now on the right track to correct the concerns. He suggested the board be
given six months to demonstrate its ability to deal with the concerns and problems.
B. Discussion of Code Compliance Board.
Commissioner McCray had received calls from the citizens in District II complaining about the
Code Compliance Board. He asked legal counsel to give a definition of both compliance and
enforcement since the purpose of the board is to bring properties into compliance.
Commissioner McCray felt serious issues were evident in the minutes from the previous Code
Compliance Board meeting. He requested the item remain on future agendas until a complete
review of the board minutes could be completed.
Mayor Taylor agreed the goal of the board is to obtain compliance. He noted there are people
who would resist following the rules and allow the fines to become exorbitant and then request
the fines be waived while the neighbors have endured months or years of noncompliance.
Enforcement has to be an element and tool for the board to induce compliance. Mayor Taylor
reported he had also received a complaint that the board was not functioning well; but, his
review of the minutes did not reveal any votes that were not unanimous.
Commissioner Ferguson suggested better communication between the Building Department and
Code Compliance would alleviate many of the complaints. Mr. Bressner agreed and suggested
a representative of the Building Department should attend the board meetings. Commissioner
Ferguson also felt occupational licenses should not be renewed if large fines are pending.

Attorney Cherof reported the research on the issue is ongoing and when complete will be
reported to the Commission. In response to Commissioner McCray, Attorney Cherof asserted
compliance is the goal and enforcement is the tool for achieving the goal in the context of Code
enforcement.
C. Discussion on impact of the redevelopment of the Heart of Boynton based on the
anticipated change in the eminent domain legislation.
Motion
Commissioner Ferguson moved to move the discussion on eminent domain to the end of the
legal section. Commissioner McCray seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously.

It was determined a report from staff would not be required. The applicant was afforded the
opportunity to address the Commission and did not respond.
Mayor Taylor opened the issue for public hearing.
Valerie Silverman, 7061 Chesapeake Circle, lives adjacent to the proposed development
on the east side. She felt the density was a problem with 90 du when the adjoining property
only had 32 du on a larger lot. The entire area consists of single family homes. Ms. Silverman
requested the site accommodate only single family homes to be compatible with the area.
Although Ms. Silverman contended she was not opposed to change, the change in her backyard
was not consistent with the residential area and negatively impacts her property and others.
She asserted she had not been invited to any meetings as the developer had mentioned at a
previous meeting.
Jennifer Humphrey, 7067 Chesapeake Circle, lives adjacent to the proposed property.
She submitted petitions signed by 55 other residents opposing the entire Lawrence Road
Project, copies of which are o.n file in the City Clerk's office. She concurred with Ms. Silverman's
comments. She asserted the quality of life would be greatly affected and single family homes
would be preferred.
Brian Humphrey, a resident of Nautica Sound, voiced his opinion that the increase in
density would be a mistake and insulting to the area. Promises had been made that the
property would remain single family low density. He alleged a portion of the landscape
easement would be parking, not vegetation. In his opinion a concrete jungle effect would be
created along with a drainage problem. Mr. Humphrey felt the profits of the developer had
been considered rather than the long term effect of the higher density.
Herb Suss, Wood Fern Drive, alleged the requests should be denied in view of traffic,
pollution and density concerns. He felt the project was wrong and would be done at the
expense of the adjacent property owners.
Michael Weiner, representing the applicant, asserted there would be no impact on the
values of adjoining properties except to enhance their value. He reiterated this type of project
is the best transitional development between the single family residential and commercial
properties. Mr. Weiner purported the height would be the same as any two story single family
homes. The buffers would be landscaped and the parking was only on the north side next to
the commercial properties. Mr. Weiner reviewed the benefits of the project and requested the
Commission approve the project and proVide a superior product for the area according to the
City's Comprehensive Plan.
Vice Mayor McKoy requested the applicant clarify the parking issue again. Mr. Weiner
responded in addition to the Code requirement, 11 additional spaces would be provided
including garage areas. Parking around the pool area and along the north buffer had been
added.

XIII. UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
None
(Th/s Item taken out of sequence based on prior motion.)
C. Discussion on impact of the redevelopment of the Heart of Boynton based on the
anticipated change in the eminent domain legislation.
Mr. Bressner reported the latest legislative developments changing the start date for the new
legislation that would end the use of eminent domain for the elimination of slum and blight.
The first amendment has an effective date of the time the Governor signs the bill and only
petitions for condemnation filed in the Courts could go forward. Mr. Bressner indicated the item
could be amended to reinsert a date with a two thirds vote of the Chamber to be considered on
a straight majority vote. The item could get referred back to a committee.
Mr. Bressner explained the first step in any eminent domain proceeding would be for the
Commission to adopt a Resolution of Necessity declaring there is a public purpose to be served
for the acquisition of the property. An official offer from the City to the seller must be sent,
followed by a waiting period of 30 days. The City could then file in Circuit Court for eminent
domain. Meanwhile the negotiations can be ongoing.
Phase I is complete except for the six self-assembly parcels and the filing in Court has already
been done according to Mr. Bressner. The Resolution of Necessity for the six remaining parcels
has not been submitted to the Commission. The CRA will be considering the Resolution of
Necessity on May 9th for those six parcels and on to the Commission on May 16th.
Lisa Bright, CRA Executive Director, maintained there were only four properties as opposed to
six in the self-assembly group.
Caroline Young, 15112 Tall Oak Avenue, Delray Beach, spoke regarding the self
assembly group who has been working with the CRA staff. Letters of Intent (LOI) have been
signed acknowledging their willingness to assist in the development of Phase I of the Heart of
Boynton Beach. Her understanding was that a private/public partnership would be formed with
the self assembly group as the developers. Ms. Young did not see how the four properties
could be conSidered as part of eminent domain since she was willing to assist with the
development. The self-assembly group had been working in good faith, but with the request
for RFP going out, she was not sure of the status of the project.
Ms. Bright referred to the CRA minutes of the February 14th meeting and a motion made
authorizing staff to enter into an agreement with the self-assembly group after they had a
feasibility study completed in 90 days. When the item was brought before the City Commission,
all the Letters of Intent had not been received and the item was tabled. Ms. Bright recalled that
as far back as December of 2005, it was understood parallel programs would be undertaken.
She stressed that the legislation was pushing the parcels into eminent domain as a partnership
agreement which was not in place.
25
Meeting Minutes
Regular City Commission
Boynton Beach, FL
May 2, 2006
Commissioner McCray questioned why the progress of the self-assembly group had been
halted. Ms. Bright related Mr. Finklestein's car accident stalled the partnership agreement
preparation. She could not bring the matter before the Commission without all the Letters of
Intent. Mr. Bressner added the documents had been prepared; however, without all the signed
letters the item had to be pulled from the agenda.
Ms. Bright contended if a master developer is not in place, then the RFP becomes necessary to
meet the deadlines of the new legislation. Negotiations would still be ongoing. Ms. Young
advised the self-assembly group was committed and waiting on the CRA staff to prepare a
development agreement she had seen. Ms. Young questioned if there was any other developer
favored for the project or if there is no intent to complete the Phase I development in the Heart
of Boynton Beach.
Mayor Taylor assured Ms. Young no developer had been brought to the Commission for
approval. Ms. Bright distributed the meeting minutes of the CRA board and explained the CRA
had spent $50,000 for a feasibility study which will be presented on May 9th to the CRA board
from the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council.
Bonnie Miskel, on behalf of Intown Development Group, contended the Legislature has
created a significant problem for all the CRA's across the State. She agreed with the description
provided on Phase I and Phase II as did Ms. Bright. She detailed the boundaries of both phases
totaling approximately 30 acres, explaining Phase II is the larger of the two areas. Ms. Miskel
introduced the Intown Development Group and their financial partner and gave a brief overview
of their experience and business dealings. Their proposal included between 800 to 900 dwelling
units and 2,000 square feet of retail, a public parking component and infrastructure
improvements. She cautioned, due to the current legislation, immediate action is needed or it
will be a lost opportunity for the City to redevelop blight.
Commissioner McCray asked for an update on the Episcopal Church. Ms. Miskel replied
relocation assistance was being discussed or a possible land swap. Commissioner McCray
alleged no contact with the church had been made. Ms. Miskel assured him assistance would
be provided.
Tom Balf, on behalf of Intown Development Group, stressed some direction was needed
by the Commission so Intown could begin to obtain surveys and appraisals within a short period
of time. Although Intown had spoken with surveyors and appraisers, they did not want to front
the expense without direction they could move forward putting the project together.
Ms. Miskel introduced Dr. Ray Liberti and summarized his qualifications. Dr. Liberti indicated
Boynton Beach is in a growth stage and has an opportunity to expand that growth further, but
the door of opportunity is being slammed shut by the Legislature. He outlined various
demographics he used to project the future housing needs of the City. He alleged younger
couples would be attracted to the City because it is viewed as a progressive area for
professionals.
26
Meeting Minutes
Regular City Commission
Boynton Beach, FL
May 2, 2006
Dr. Liberti felt the proposed development plan was rare in that it consisted of one 35 acre tract
of land east of 1-95. The streetscapes are unique and it has many pocket parks with profound
landscaping. It includes single family areas, senior housing units, housing diversity for all types
of price points, an ingenious lighting system, pedestrian paths and much more. The contained
impact of the design is important with an excellent architectural commitment that the City can
be proud of. The 2,000 square feet of commercial would provide 300 jobs in the community.
By increasing the tax base with the project, it would add a $2.8M to $3.4M windfall for the City
and CRA.
Ms. Miskel summarized the presentation and asked the Commission to continue with the current
plan of Phase I acquisition and authorize staff to enter into negotiations with Intown
Development for a possible development contract for Phase I and Phase II. She stressed the
CRA did not have the funding or finances to develop Phase II. She questioned if completion of
Phase I would effectuate sufficient change to make all the other changes planned possible. Ms.
Miskel contended Intown was the only developer to come forward and able to complete the
project.
Mayor Taylor summarized that the CRA needed to move forward on Phase I with the two
parallel efforts. There is no money available to develop Phase II. The proposal was to let the
CRA continue with Phase I and the City work with Intown on the Phase II portion.
Commissioner McCray was not in favor of moving forward on Phase II hastily and would not
support the proposal of Intown. Mayor Taylor wanted it clearly understood that if the
Commission did not act quickly and move forward with Phase II, nothing more would be
developed in the area since the CRA had no available funding to continue the Heart of Boynton
project. Commissioner McCray suggested another developer may come forward with a better
plan.
Commissioner Ensler inquired of the City Attorney if the City could legally take on the
responsibility of Phase II without the CRA involvement. Attorney Cherof replied in the
affirmative in concept. Formal actions to accomplish that would be necessary to get to that
point. Commissioner Ensler further commented land is needed for any development. Along
Federal Highway private developers bought the land and redeveloped the land in conjunction
with the CRA. The Heart of Boynton has no large tracts of land for private development. The
only solution was for the CRA and City to work together to find a large enough tract of land to
make a significant impact for the City whether the developer is or is not Intown. He stressed
only one developer has come forward to take a risk and develop the land in the Heart of
Boynton.
Joseph Gray, 7218 Norwich Lane, a planner, who helped develop the Heart of Boynton
Plan, explained he had worked for almost two years with the residents of the area to come up
with a plan to revitalize the Heart of Boynton area. Mr. Gray indicated promises were made to
the residents that it would be revitalized in total, not in phases. He felt every step should be
taken to keep the promise to the citizens and create the critical mass necessary to impact the
entire community.

Meeting Minutes
Regular City Commission
Boynton Beach, FL
May 2, 2006
Commissioner McCray inquired if Mr. Gray, who worked for the CRA in Delray, was being paid
by the Intown Group and Mr. Gray denied he was on the staff for Intown Development Group.
Gertrude Sullivan, 201 NE 6th Avenue, indicated she did not like the Intown Group in the
beginning, but the CRA dropped the people of the area. She was not pleased that the Heart of
Boynton Project was moved to the end of the agenda. Mayor Taylor assured Ms. Sullivan that
was not the intent of the Commission. Ms. Sullivan questioned what had happened with the
CRA and why they could not continue with the project. If the CRA could find private developers
for other projects, she asked why they could not do the same for the Heart of Boynton. Mayor
Taylor reminded Ms. Sullivan there were residents in the Heart of Boynton that did not want
any redevelopment. Ms. Sullivan voiced her frustration with the decline in the Heart of Boynton
because nothing was getting done. She asked the Commission be fair to the residents in the
Heart of Boynton who also pay taxes.
Quintus Greene, Director of Development, recited his 30 years of experience and qualifications
in the field of public and private redevelopment. He recalled the objective of the Heart of
Boynton was to save the community with the same character that has developed over many,
many years. Mr. Greene expressed his opinion that the Intown proposition was an attempt to
force a master developer agreement without utilizing the competitive process in place within the
City. Mr. Greene alleged the concept was for Phase I to be a catalyst for private development
in Phase II. Mr. Greene opined the proposal was not in the best interest of the community or
what the residents had envisioned. Phase I has not been delivered and the people deserve
much more than they have received to date.
Vice Mayor McKoy asked what Mr. Greene would propose in light of the fact time is running out.
Mr. Greene proposed Phase I should be completed correctly and the private sector develop any
subsequent phases by competitive proposals. He indicated Phase I is not a difficult project; it
just needs to be a reality. Commissioner Ensler pointed out there is no disagreement to move
forward with completing Phase I. He asked Mr. Greene what the CRA should be doing beyond
Phase I to accomplish redevelopment in the Heart of Boynton. Mr. Greene purported
downtown revitalization is a means to generate the increment used in the Heart of Boynton to
end slum and blight.
Mayor Taylor was not sure Phase I was going to be a reality at this stage and was very
disappointed. Any efforts to date have been road blocked with disagreements. Mayor Taylor
stressed only one group has presented a plan to the Commission. Mr. Greene explained the
CRA was going out with a request for proposals to solicit various developers and plans. In his
view, the Intown Group was attempting to bypass the process and be named the master
developer for the entire project.
In response to a question by Commissioner Ensler, Mr. Balf explained a developer was not
required to be in place to condemn property. However,. to fund the project a developer needs
to be in place. The Intown Group was willing to move forward, but needs a development
agreement with the City to recoup their expenses and proceed. Commissioner Ensler then
questioned Ms. Bright if the CRA had the resources and funds to complete Phase I. Ms. Bright
confirmed all the available monies would be consumed in Phase I.

Meeting Minutes
Regular City Commission
Boynton Beach, FL
May 2, 2006
Wilfred Hawkins, Assistant City Manager, reviewed his qualifications and indicated he had
worked with Mr. Gray on developing the Heart of Boynton plan. It was agreed that the
legislation, if enacted quickly, would affect Phase I only with regard to the four properties in the
self-assembly group depending on the July 1st breakpoint. Mr. Bressner reiterated negotiations
could continue with the self-assembly group, pending the eminent domain taking of the
properties. Mr. Hawkins opined if the request for an agreement mandates the City to deal
exclusively with the Intown Group through the entire project, that should be dealt with
cautiously.
Ms. Miskel acknowledged all the terms and specifications of the contract are not available;
however, Intown Group needed a commitment from the City to work with Intown in good faith
and Intown Group will do the same.
Octavia Sherrod, Community Development Manager, spoke as an advocate for the people in the
Heart of Boynton community. She contended the request for proposals would allow certain
advantages from other developers to address the needs of the citizens. The education and
income levels for that community are not as indicated by Dr. Liberti, but much lower. Many
stakeholders were not aware of this item on the agenda, according to Ms. Sherrod, which is not
fair to the Heart of Boynton residents.
Mr. Hawkins and Mr. Bressner continued to explain the impact of the available options in light of
the legislative changes enacted. Mr. Miskel felt an agreement would be required to cover the
significant expenses and monies needed to acquire the additional parcels. She asserted the
intent was to get authorization for staff to commence negotiations with Intown to move
forward. Ms. Miskel reiterated the intent was to provide jobs and fix existing problems within
the CRA area. Because of the significant time and monies expended to date, Ms. Miskel was
requesting Intown be designated as the master developer for Phase I and Phase II.
Commissioner Ensler was concerned about entering into a contract with Intown for a project
that has very little chance of success if the opportunity to accomplish it vanishes with the new
legislation. The risk would be very large. Ms. Miskel indicated her client understood the risk
and believed if a July 1 date is set it, can be met. The Intown Group needed some commitment
from the Commission to negotiate in good faith consistent with the Heart of Boynton Plan. Ms.
Miskel contended input from the community was inappropriate because the request was only to
authorize negotiations. The development and master plan is not at issue presently.
Vice Mayor McKoy asked if negotiations stalled, what would happen? Ms. Miskel contended
heavy negotiations would be required and she felt confident an agreement could be reached
before significant monies are expended. Mr. Hawkins expressed concern with the term master
developer and cautioned against authorizing such a designation.
Mayor Taylor concluded, based on what was being stated, that a contract or development order
will not be forthcoming. He did not feel there was any intent to negotiate a contract.
Commissioner Ensler indicated he was willing to convene a special meeting on Friday to allow
Intown and staff to negotiate a proposed agreement before monies were expended.

Meeting Minutes
Regular City Commission
Boynton Beach, FL
May 2, 2006
Commissioner McCray was not in favor of rushing the project through was not pleased there
was not more notice to the citizens on a project that would be taking over the entire area.
Elizabeth Jenkins 711 NW 1st Street, did not feel the CRA has been working for the best
interest of the citizens of the area because nothing has happened and the citizens have not had
input into the project. She contended if there was not going to be redevelopment as promised,
then something needed to be done to help the people to help themselves. The people
deserved answers and respect.
Herb Suss, Wood Fern Drive, supported going forward with Phase I, but did not believe
Intown should be designated as the only developer as they did not own the land and the
project should not be rushed.
At midnight, Mayor Taylor recessed the meeting to accommodate the recording
system changeover to next date.
Mayor Taylor reconvened the meeting at 12:03 a.m. on May 3rd, 2006.
Commissioner Ferguson commented the eminent domain legislation had pushed the
Commission into a decision and since nothing has gone on in the Heart of Boynton for four
years, he would agree to move on both Phase I and Phase II.
Ms. Miskel supported Commissioner Ensler's suggestion to convene an emergency meeting on
Friday after serious negotiations on the contract. She emphasized if the project had gone to bid
in February, Intown would have been in the process and a contract would not have been
necessary at this time. If an agreement could not be reached, she predicted the chance of
Phase II being developed privately would be nonexistent.
Commissioner McCray reiterated Phase I needs to be completed first. Intown had not met with
the people in the area, especially the churches, and Commissioner McCray would not vote to
force Intown's plans on the residents.
Commissioner Ensler requested an announcement be posted throughout the Heart of Boynton if
a meeting is scheduled for Friday. Commissioner McCray felt that could not be achieved.
Attorney Cherof did not understand what was expected to be accomplished by a delay until
Friday. He contended the developer could submit their demands for the Commission's review
before a decision is made.
Mayor Taylor felt Phase I should continue with the CRA and not be included in an agreement
with Intown.
Samantha Simons, President of Intown Development Group, indicated they had been
involved and in the community for over four years working diligently to be a stakeholder in the
community. She requested the opportunity to negotiate an agreement with the City Attorney
and City Manager.

May 2, 2006
Vice Mayor McKoy was concerned the people had been promised redevelopment and a decision
should be made to fulfill the promise.
Mayor Taylor declared there was consensus to continue with Phase I.
Commissioner McCray was emphatic he would only support Phase I and felt requests for
proposals should go out for Phase II.
It was concluded that Intown Development Group could submit a proposal and it would be
reviewed by City staff. Mr. Bressner reviewed the time line of the legislation which would be
pivotal to any decision.
(Commissioner Ferguson left the meeting at 12:21 a.m.)
Ms. Young commented the self-assembly group was not aware a presentation or master
development agreement would be considered by the Commission and was unclear of the status
of the self-assembly group.
Mayor Taylor was concerned there did not seem to be any commitment from the staff or the
Commission to use Intown Group as one developer for the Heart of Boynton.
XIV. ADJOURNMENT:
There being no further business to come before the Commission, Mayor Taylor adjourned the
meeting at 12:24 a.m. on May 3rd, 2006.

41. The following excerpt is from Land Use Problems and Opportunities of the X
Comprehensive Plan: "Planning Area 6,C Unincorporated Parcels
Adjoining Northwest Corner of the City (presently unincorporated). With
exception of the eight (B)-acre parcel adjacent to Hypoluxo (which is now
Grove Plaza). these parcels should be annexed and placed under the Low
Density Residential land use category, in order to ensure compatibility with
existing and future residential land uses in the vicinity. Annexation of these
properties will square off the City's boundary and will allow the City to
control the use of these parcels, Development of these parcels should be
compatible with existing low-density single family dwellings in this area.
Development of the parcels that lie to the south of the above-mentioned
parcel should be limited to low-density single-family detached dwellings,
with a gross density of not more than three and one-half (3.5) units per
acre". Therefore, the proposed density of 9.63 acres is not considered low
density residential and would be inconsistent with the residential densities
of the surrounding properties. Staff is recommending denial of the request
for annexation, land use amendment / rezoning, and new site plan. Also,
the project proposes single-family attached dwellings but the above-
referenced policy recommends single-family detached dwellings. While
staff can make concessions to the type of dwelling units proposed (i.e. an
appropriate mix of single-family attached and detached), staff cannot
support the project density as proposed.
42. Correct the spelling of the street "Jonathan's Wav" on sheet Co?~ X
43. On the site plan (sheet 1 of 1), indicate the location of the mailboxes. X
44. The height of the front entry gates shall not excced six (6) feet in height. X
45. In order to ensure proper maintenance of the buffer areas, staff recommends X
converting them from private property to "buffer tracts" that would be
owned and maintained bv the Horne Owners' Association.
46. The trees proposed around the townhouse buildings must be installed at X
least y, the building height of the building (Chapter 7.5, Article II, Section
S.M.). -~
47. No sign material or color(s) were indicated. Therefore, staff recommends X
they be either back-lit or receive uplighting and of have colors that are
compatible with the colors of the development ..--
48. Palm Tran bus route #71 uses Lawrence Road. Staff recommends X
coordinating with Palm Tran to install an upgraded bus shelter along
