in the family.
D. Agenda Approval:
1. Additions, Deletions, Corrections
Mayor Taylor requested a discussion be added to the next agenda on the Commission's position
relating to the referendum on property tax reform to be voted on in January 2008. He advised
County Commissioner Mary McCarty had requested a meeting with all municipalities on
September 20th to establish a strategy, if any, for addressing the issue to the voters. The City
of Weston had legally challenged the proposed referendum as being unconstitutional,
containing misleading language, and listing more than one item on the ballot when only one is
allowed.
Commissioner McKoy supported the meeting; however, he was concerned that the formal
position of the Commission was being determined prior to the November election when at least
two districts would have new representation on the Commission.
Vice Mayor Rodriguez noted Commissioner McCray had requested that the Unfinished Business
items be removed from the agenda.

Budget for Fiscal Year 2007/08
Re: Adopting the Tentative
Attorney Cherof advised the public this was the first of two public hearings relating to the
proposed budget and the millage.
Attorney Cherof read Proposed Resolution No. R07-100 by title only and announced the second
public hearing would be held on September 18, 2007 at 6:30 p.m. in Chambers.
Mayor Taylor opened the issue for public hearing.
Herb Suss, 1711 Wood Fern Drive, contended the millage rate should not be reduced. He felt
it would be better to maintain the status quo and allow the new Commission being elected to
review the budget. The current tax structure warranted not lowering the tax rate at this time.
No one else coming forward Mayor Taylor closed the public hearing.
Mayor Taylor advised the rate was lowered at the direction of the State and could only be
maintained at the current rate with a unanimous vote of the Commission.
Motion
Commissioner Weiland moved to approve Proposed Resolution No. R07-100. Vice Mayor
Rodriguez seconded the motion. Mayor Taylor called for a roll call vote.

Meeting Minutes

September 4, 2007
Attorney Cherof read Proposed Resolution No. R07-101 by title only.
Mayor Taylor opened the issue for public hearing.
Alex Difonzo, President of Boynton Regional Symphony Orchestra, from Abbey Delray, Delray
Beach, FL, recalled the formation of the orchestra and praised the support of the late Vice
Mayor Ensler in his attempt to stimulate a cultural presence in the City of Boynton Beach. The
orchestra was striving for financial independency and was very grateful for the assistance of the
Commissioners through their discretionary funds which was still needed. The orchestra would
welcome another Commissioner to serve on the Board of Directors and the continued financial
support of the City of Boynton Beach.
Mayor Taylor commented the orchestra is an asset to the City. Although the previous funding
had been cut from the budget the Mayor pledged his continued support to solicit private donors
to contribute to the orchestra and their many events. Mayor Taylor noted the late Vice Mayor
Ensler had funds remaining in his campaign account and the City was working with the State to
perhaps donate those funds to the orchestra.
No one else coming forward, Mayor Taylor closed the public audience.
Commissioner Weiland commented on the three positions being eliminated from the budget.
Although he had preliminarily supported allowing the positions to remain in the budget, he
realized the Commission had a fiduciary responsibility to the citizens of the City of Boynton
Beach. He had determined the budget should be adopted as previously outlined knowing that
in January future cuts may be eminent affecting other employees. Commissioner Weiland
sympathized with the affected employees and thanked them for their many years of service to
the City.
Mayor Taylor added it was the toughest job of management to eliminate an employee no
matter what the circumstances may be. Unfortunately the current budget was the best possible
remedy to the decreased revenue and lower tax rate imposed by the State.
Motion
Commissioner Weiland moved to approve Proposed Resolution No. R07-101. Commissioner
McKoy seconded the motion.
Vote
City Clerk Prainito called the roll. The vote was 4-0.
Attorney Cherof reiterated there would be a final hearing on the proposed millage rate and
proposed budget on September 18, 2007 at 6:30 p.m. in the Chambers. The public will have
an opportunity to express their concerns regarding both proposals.

Meeting Minutes
Regular City Commission
Boynton Beach, FL.
September 4, 2007
Commissioner McKoy thanked Chief Immler and the Boynton Beach Police Department for the
successful operation dealing with the adult entertainment activity within the City of Boynton
Beach. Mayor Taylor offered the entire Commission was proud of the work done by the Police
Department to curb the illegal activities.
Commissioner Weiland acknowledged Valorie Moats and Carisse LeJeune for their outstanding
job relating to the Delton Demons military unit adopted by the City of Boynton Beach.
Kim Reynolds, 10795 Cambay Circle, spoke about the outstanding job done by Sharon Vicki at
the Civic Center and her dedication to the various programs offered, especially the dance
programs. Ms. Vicki dealt with everyone involved in a professional manner and had fantastic
public relations skills. Ms. Reynolds requested the Commission reconsider its decision and re-
evaluate the budget to accommodate Ms. Vicki's position.
Lynn Howell addressed the Commission in support of reinstating the position of tennis pro,
Bob Howell. She could not understand how a long time employee could be let go and then re-
hire a contract employee to save money. She advised two letters had been sent out in error by
the Human Resource Department to members of the tennis center that Bob Howell was no
longer the tennis pro and the apologies for the mailing errors were not acceptable. Ms. Howell
did not feel the employee had been treated fairly.
Mayor Taylor mentioned a contingency from the tennis community was present at the budget
workshop and spoke highly of Mr. Howell. He advised the elimination of the positions was not
based on job performance. The decision was based on the needs of the City and the cuts had
been discussed publicly at the workshop.
Sharon Vicki, Recreation Manager, advised her position was being eliminated. She had
worked 17 years full time and 8 years part time. She reviewed some of her accomplishments
over the years and noted she had exceeded the standards on many of her yearly evaluations.
Ms. Vicki asked that the elimination of her position be reconsidered, so she could continue to be
an asset to the City of Boynton Beach.

appreciation for outstanding support of D Company 2-327 of the 101 st
Airborne and selfless serJice and devotion to the soldiers and their families.
Carisse LeJeune, Assistant to the City Manager introduced Valorie Moats of the City Clerk's
office and explained the City's involvement with the Delton Demons of D-Company. She
presented the Mayor with a Certificate of Appreciation from D Company of the 101 st Airborne
Division, thanking the citizens and staff of the City of Boynton Beach for their continuing
support.
Mayor Taylor read a narrative written by Carisse LeJeune describing her recent visit to the
military base in Kentucky. It was entitled "No Slack" and is on file in the City Clerk's office.
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>
Herb Suss, 1711 Wood Fern Drive, requested the Commission defer any decision regarding
Ocean Breeze or Martin Luther King corridor until after the November election and a new
Commission is in place. Mr. Suss suggested cutting the discretionary funds, the board dinner
and down size the Christmas celebration rather than eliminate three positions. Mr. Bressner
advised the board appreciation dinner had been eliminated.
Karen Smith, 221 SW 6th Street, requested the construction vehicles for the Ocean 95 Plaza
not be allowed through the Lake Boynton Estates neighborhood that includes an elementary
bus stop and playground.
Matt Burger, 221 SW 6th Street, questioned if an economic impact study had been done on
Lake Boynton Estates with the proposed truck route through the neighborhood.
Mr. Bressner recalled the Commission had already agreed to a bypass route. Mr. Burger
stressed if the north or south route did not materialize, the truck route would revert through
Lake Boynton Estates and an economic impact study would be wise. Mr. Bressner advised
there was no requirement for the City to conduct such a study.
Mayor Taylor pointed out trucks had been going through the neighborhood for many years. He
did not agree with the proposed increase in traffic.
Commissioner Weiland commented the City had worked with the neighborhood extensively to
resolve the issue by approving the northern route and also a study for the feasibility of a
southern route. He speculated the monies needed would exceed $2M and only $750,000 was
originally budgeted. Budget cuts had already been made and more would be needed. The
funds were not there for even more expenses. He stressed the developer has the right to gain
access to his property. Commissioner Weiland also noted if the southern route would be

approved the neighbors in the apartments to the south will be objecting to the disruption of
their quality of life by having a truck route near their homes. He emphasized only a small
portion of the increase in traffic would actually be large trucks.
Mr. Burger hoped the value of the neighborhood would not be depleted and families forced to
leave their homes.
Attorney Cherof reminded everyone the three minutes allotted were to express opinions and not
engage in debate with the Commission. It was a business meeting of the City of Boynton
Beach.
Victor Norfus, 261 N. Palm Drive, discussed voter registration and initiatives to get more
citizens registered. He was holding a voter registration drive in the Cherry Hill area and invited
the Commission to attend and participate. He questioned what efforts were being made to
advise the public of the upcoming election. He wondered if the City had participated in a forum
for the candidates to discuss issues for the benefit of the voters.
Mr. Bressner responded the League of Women Voters had sponsored candidate events and
suggested Mr. Norfus contact that organization. Voter registration information could be posted
on the cable channel.
Edward Tedtmann, 869 NW 8th Avenue, commented the Ocean 95 Plaza was a large facility
that could accommodate large trucks and high traffic volume. He felt the truck route should be
eliminated all together. He felt it was a social issue and the Commission was being
discriminatory .
No one else coming forward, Mayor Taylor closed the public audience.

VLD. Authorize the Financial Services Department to reduce the Allowance for
Uncollectible Accounts by $34,918.02 in the Sanitation Fund and by $24,011.03
in the General Fund.
Commissioner Weiland indicated he had met with the City Manager and offered ideas on how to
correct the collection problems, which were forwarded to staff.
Bobby Jenkins, Assistant Director of Finance, explained the request was simply an accounting
function. The possibility of including the delinquencies with the utility billing had been
considered along with collection agency interaction. The other ideas offered would be
investigated and implemented, if feasible.
Commissioner Weiland realized any action would need the approval of the Legal Department;
however, he did want to be informed of the actions to be taken. Mr. Jenkins agreed more
creative ideas would be pursued for collection.
Mayor Taylor noted many of the businesses still operate within the City and have several
outstanding balances. He suggested liens should be imposed. Mr. Jenkins agreed. Mr.
Bressner added the fire inspection fees would be going to Code Compliance for hearings and
liens if necessary. The liens will then interface with the occupational licensing. The alarm fees
have also been going to Code Compliance. The procedure for collection of roll off fees within
Public Works has been restructured to eliminate those balances.
Attorney Cherof advised a previous ordinance had been drafted regarding the collection of fire
inspection fees. The language could be. broadened to cover other issues. Implementation

issues had prohibited the ordinance from moving forward. Staff could review those issues
again.
Vice Mayor Rodriguez felt it would be more simple to attach the bills to the utility billing cycle
and eliminate further costs of collection. Mr. Bressner advised it was being researched.
Mayor Taylor felt a tougher stance should be taken. Attorney Cherof suggested with regard to
roll offs, outstanding balances must be paid before new roll offs are delivered.
Jeff Livergood, Director of Public Works, pointed out most of the delinquent amounts were from
prior years before the new procedures had been implemented. He stressed the individuals or
businesses with past due amounts would not be doing business with the City again until the
bills were paid.

motion. The motion passed unanimously.

the previous Commission, for providing the leadership for the many projects that are now

wastewater and capital facilities charges.
Attorney Cherof read Proposed Ordinance No. 07-023 by title only.
Mayor Taylor opened the issue for public hearing.
Marion Merkal, 905 SW 3rd Avenue, questioned the reported 5.5% annual increase after the
initial increase of 6.5%. The increase would total 30% over the original amount by the year
2012 and would be a hefty increase. She also questioned the concept of an annual increase
and requested information on how the figures were calculated and the plans for estimated cost
of maintenance and expansion.
Mr. Bressner replied the annual adjustments are estimates and would be evaluated by the
Commission on a yearly basis depending on the total cost and projected future costs. He
stressed there are mandates from the South Florida Water District to utilize the Floridan Aquifer
for water supplies. Also the State DEP has mandated the sewer outfall from the wastewater
treatment plant that extends into the ocean six miles must be capped or eliminated. The
effluent has to be utilized for water reuse or injection pumped into the ground. A revenue
stream must be established. Revenue bonds would be required. Mr. Bressner did clarify rate
adjustments had not been made since 1992. Mr. Bressner offered to provide Ms. Merkal with
any and all figures she wished to review.
