resolution or information relating to vehicle damage sustained from a construction speed bump
across her drive way. Mr. Bressner advised the Risk Manager contacted the contractor's
insurance company on her behalf. Ms. Morgano acknowledged City staff had followed up on

their assistance.
Mark Karageorge, 240A Main Boulevard, commended Vice Mayor Rodriguez and Stacey

VI. B. 2
Reject the fourteen (14) highest bids received and award Bid #018-2821-09jJA,
"ROLLING GREEN STORMWATER AND WATER MAIN IMPROVEMENT PROJECT",
to GlobeTec Construction, LLC (GlobeTec) and execute a contract by resolution
in the amount of $3,489,346.60 plus an owner's contingency of 10% in the
amount of $348,934.66 for a total project budget appropriation of
$3,838,281.26. (Proposed Resolution No. R09-019)
Mayor Taylor explained a protest had been filed. The options were to table the matter as staff
had requested or hear from the representative that filed the protest, who was present.
It was agreed the parties of the protest could be heard.
Gary Goldman, Attorney, 17071 W. Dixie Highway, North Miami Beach, represented the low
bidder, Master Excavators. A bid protest had been filed with the Procurement Department. His
client was the low bidder on the base bid by over $80,000 and the contingency made it over
$90,000. The protest was based on the Master Excavators not meeting the project experience
qualifications although the qualifications do not include any specific experience requirements.
Master Excavators has 25 years of continuous experience in site utilities development. The
owner/operator, Mr. Feely, a licensed qualifier, was also present. He had completed numerous
jobs of a similar size and scope with five times the experience of the second lowest bidder.
Master Excavators is Florida Transportation Department approved. Mr. Goldman pointed out
there were no specific experience requirements set out in the bid documents.
Mr. Goldman further contended any requirement that restricted experience to Palm Beach
County would not be enforceable under the law. The request was made to table the item for
further staff review and proceed with the bid protest. Mayor Taylor inquired about the
consultant's indication the bid was less complete. Mr. Goldman did not understand the
comment and noted a pre-award meeting was only held with GlobeTec to review their bid.
Master Excavators, as low bidder, should have also been consulted or included in the pre-award
meeting.

Attorney Cherof emphasized the Commission was not part of the bid award protest until the bid
is brought before them as a recommendation. It indicates the proper process had been
followed to insulate the Commission from the process until the meeting.
Mr. Mazzella advised there were two primary reasons for not selecting Master Excavators.
Incompleteness was an issue dealing with bonding capabilities and current project load not
included in the bid response. Experience factor related to the soil and water table conditions
relative to Palm Beach County that were important. Control of traffic flow was another issue.
Master Excavators did not meet the minimum requirements.
Dave Mathews, Mathews Consulting, explained the bidders were qualified based on the
criteria outlined in the instructions to bidders. Master Excavators had not provided four out of
10 items and the bid was classified as incomplete. The references provided were satisfactory
but not for similar type residential projects. Mr. Mathews stressed the project would be
ongoing for two years and that factors into the recommendation as well as the dollars.
It was Mr. Mazzella's suggestion that the bid move forward. Attorney Cherof advised the bid
could be awarded and would have no effect on the processing of the bid protest. The bid could
return to the Commission in the form of an appeal. Vice Mayor Rodriguez confirmed tabling the
matter would delay the project. It would not be a critical delay.
Commissioner Ross wanted to wait. Commissioner Weiland thought Master Excavators may be
expanding the scope of the services they provide and to grow their business.
Bernard Feely, owner of Master Excavators, responded they had not been notified of the bid
award. His company self performs every aspect of a project including clearing, fill, road
construction, install water mains and lines, pumping stations, asphalt, cement work and survey
crews. Bids cannot be submitted without the company's bonding authority knowing the
contractor's financial position. Mr. Feely indicated the criteria did not contain any restriction to
Palm Beach County or similar work. Master Excavators had done many residential projects. It
was damaging to his company and his reputation. He did feel the job could be complete in less
time than anticipated. He was offended by the process that was utilized.
Mr. Goldman added a $90,000 savings was significant enough to warrant further investigation.
Commissioner Weiland agreed more time was needed to re-evaluate.
Motion
Commissioner Hay moved to table Item VI.B.1. Commissioner Weiland seconded the motion.
Mayor Taylor inquired if references from other jobs were contacted to determine if the bid
amount was the actual cost by completion. Mr. Mathews responded references were verified as
satisfactory with no issues.
The motion passed unanimously.

VI.B.2.
Award RFQ #020-221O-09jJA for "THREE YEAR CONTRACT FOR MEDICAL
DIRECTOR TO OVERSEE THE EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES AS PROVIDED
BY THE FIRE RESCUE EMTS, PARAMEDICS & LIFEGUARDS" to Dr. Kenneth
Scheppke, M.D. of Tequesta, FL in the amount of $26,568 annually, which
includes the allowance of $70 phone stipend. (Proposed Resolution No. R09-
020)
Vice Mayor Rodriguez questioned how supervision could be done from Tequesta.
Ray Carter, Deputy Fire Chief, responded Dr. Scheppke is the current medical director and
supervises the EMTs through his medical license as required by the State of Florida. He is an
emergency room physician at JFK Hospital, makes frequent visits to the fire stations and tests
all paramedics. Vice Mayor Rodriguez confirmed it was more procedural.
Motion
Vice Mayor Rodriguez moved to approve Item VI.B.2. Commissioner Ross seconded the
motion. The motion passed unanimously.
VI.c. 2
Proposed Resolution No. R09-022 RE: Approving the
reclassification of one (1) position in the Finance Department from Assistant to
the Director of Financial Services, pay grade 32, to Budget Manager, pay grade
34.
Commissioner Weiland inquired about the status of the Finance Department before the recent
new hires. There was a Director and Assistant Director according to Barry Atwood, Director of
Finance. A new Assistant Director was hired as well as another individual. The current request
changes the Assistant to the Director to a Budget Manager position. Commissioner Weiland
questioned the need for a Budget Manager when a Deputy Director and Finance Director are
already in place. He also expressed his concern with the cost to be included in next year's
budget and the assertion there is no fiscal impact for the current budget.
Mr. Atwood pointed out the money was available due to the vacancies in positions.
Commissioner Weiland disagreed with the concept if the money is available, spend it and could
not approve the expenditure.
Mr. Bressner noted Mr. Atwood had reassigned responsibilities within his department for greater
efficiencies. Mr. Bressner approved the realignment to improve the services within the
department and provide strength in the area of budgeting. A subordinate staff position was not
being created. Mr. Atwood explained the Deputy Director had previously been the lead in the
budget process. The accountant position had been vacant and was filled with the Deputy
Director position. Monitoring of the revenue budget and producing reports needed to be done
regularly.
Mayor Taylor indicated the money was approved in the budget and Mr. Atwood was working
within his department budget. Commissioner Weiland contended because the money is in the

budget does not mean it had to be spent. He hoped the next budget would be scrutinized more
closely.
Mayor Taylor asserted the budget had been approved, the department was working within the
approved budget and the Commission should set policy and approve budgets, not manage
individual departments.
Vice Mayor Rodriguez clarified the budget would not increase. Commissioner Hay agreed with
Mayor Taylor. He did request copies of the span of control for all departments.
Motion
Commissioner Hay moved to approve Item VI.C.2. Commissioner Ross seconded the motion.
The motion passed 4-1. (Commissioner Weiland dissenting.)
VI.C.3.
Proposed Resolution No. R09-023 RE: Approving and
authorizing execution of a service agreement between the City of Boynton Beach
and Boy Scouts of America, Gulfstream Chapter, authorizing the City to enter
into an agreement to sub-grant funding in the amount of $15,000 to Boy Scouts
of America, Gulfstream Chapter, as a partner in the continued planning and
implementation of the Youth Violence Prevention Program (YVPP) in the target
area in the City of Boynton Beach.
Commissioner Ross requested information on the selection process. Stacey Robinson, Youth
Empowerment Center, thanked the Commission for their interest. She explained the budget
process for the service providers was intense. A yearly request for funding had to be made and
was reviewed by staff and the Executive Board. The Teen Council then reviewed the
applications and selects those to be interviewed by the Council. Staff and the Executive Board
grade the service providers based on the criteria within the request for funding. With all the
information, the Executive Board then chooses who will operate in the Center. There are
currently six providers in the center. The Girl Scouts come under the Unlimited Dance Program
through the Sister-to-Sister Program
Vice Mayor Rodriguez added the accountability is very stringent. Ms. Robinson reported
outcome measures are examined on a child-by-child basis with adjustments on an ongoing
basis.
Motion
Commissioner Ross moved to approve Item VI.C.3. Commissioner Hay seconded the motion.
The motion passed unanimously.
VI.C.5.
Proposed Resolution No. R09-025 RE: Approving and

Mayor Taylor inquired if previous issues with the lack of participants had been resolved. Ms.
Robinson advised there was an initial problem attracting kids to the program for various
reasons. However, personnel changes provided heightened interest in the program and it is
now full with more trips being offered.
Motion
Vice Mayor Rodriguez moved to approve Item VI.C.5. Commissioner Hay seconded the motion.

funding. There was discussion on the various projects and their current status. Mr. Bressner
recommended the police facility would be the broadest base to provide service to the citizens.

Mayor Taylor understood the City Manager was to pursue the concept and bring back a
proposal. Vice Mayor Rodriguez opined only discussions were to be held and any action by the
City Manager should be further authorized by the Commission.
Mayor Taylor supported the City Manager continuing discussion and bringing back any proposal
for City Hall and the police station. Vice Mayor Rodriguez countered that the police facility
should be a separate discussion from the City Hall discussion as far as opportunities. There was
more potential for the police station to move forward faster than the City Hall complex. Mayor
Taylor wanted the discussions combined. Commissioner Weiland noted there were many
unanswered questions. Commissioner Hay suggested discussions continue regarding both City
Hall and the police station with no commitment.
Mr. Bressner indicated he would continue to work on the project.
B. Discussion and possible action item requested by a member of the City
Commission regarding provision of Master Development Agreement which
requires third party verification.
Vice Mayor Rodriguez recalled the entire Commission wanted third party financial verification.
It had been over six weeks and a responsible party had not been identified that could perform
both functions. He had recommended by email there would be an opportunity to have two
separate entities do individual verifications. Being separate financials, Vice Mayor Rodriguez
preferred the use of two analyses with no bias from either side. The motion made did not
dictate that only one company be used.
Mayor Taylor pointed out this was Community Redevelopment Agency Board business and not
Commission business. It should not be discussed at this time. Vice Mayor Rodriguez felt it
would be discussed because the City is third party to the agreement. Mayor Taylor countered
that an agreement had not been presented to the City yet.
Vice Mayor Rodriguez disagreed and contended action should be taken to move the idea
forward. Mayor Taylor reiterated it would have to be decided by the Community
Redevelopment Agency Board. Vice Mayor Rodriguez noted the City Attorney had advised the
matter could be decided by the Commission. Commissioner Ross voiced her surprise at seeing
the item added to the Commission agenda.
Attorney Cherof confirmed the agreement would be a tri-party agreement that would be
discussed on February 11, 2009 at a special joint meeting of the Commission and Community
Redevelopment Agency Board. The drafted provision relating to a financial review by a third
party has not been acted on by the City Commission because it has not been presented to them
on an agenda, but is up for discussion. It would be appropriate for the Commission to address
the issue at some point. Attorney Cherof surmised the Vice Mayor's point was with more
direction on splitting the review to two consultants that it would expedite the review and
conclusion of the conditional provision of the draft agreement.

Mayor Taylor understood the Community Redevelopment Agency Board had directed staff to
search for an individual that could complete both verifications and, if not, search for two
separate consultants. Vice Mayor Rodriguez asserted the direction given staff could be altered
if further delay was anticipated.
Lisa Bright, Community Redevelopment Agency Director, gave a recap of previous actions. On
December 9, 2008 the Community Redevelopment Agency Board had directed staff to engage a
third party entity to verify the financials of Auburn Group as well as the Community
Redevelopment Agency. A contract was submitted to the Board for approval on January 13,
2009. It was rejected at the request of the developer based upon a conflict of interest the
developer had with the vendor, PMG Associates. The Board supported the request. Auburn
requested consideration be given to Florida Housing Finance Corporation for their evaluation
and the Community Redevelopment Agency select their own. This was contrary to the
direction given to staff who continued to pursue a third party entity to verify. On January 20,
2009 at the joint Commission and Community Redevelopment Agency Board meeting, the
matter was tabled. There was consensus though to continue the pursuit for one third party
consultant. Currently, conversations with Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council have
resulted in their willingness, as a State agency, to undertake the verification and have a
proposal for scope to be approved at the next Community Redevelopment Agency Board
meeting on February 10, 2009. Ms. Bright understood there was consensus from at least three
of the Community Redevelopment Agency Board members to have one entity do both
verifications. The cost to complete both financials would be approximately $70,000.
Vice Mayor Rodriguez inquired about the cost involved to do separate verifications. Ms. Bright
replied PMG Associates was charging $14,000 to do both.
Cito Beguristain, Vice President of Auburn Group, advised Auburn Group would be willing to
negotiate a Master Development Agreement excluding Phase IV and the private parking garage
and the height issue. He offered Auburn Group's willingness to work together and come back
to the community with the right of first refusal if the City decided in the future to proceed with
Phase IV.
Mayor Taylor advised the matter should be brought before the Community Redevelopment
Agency Board. He also stressed the matter for discussion was the third party verification only.
Vice Mayor Rodriguez offered the suggestion that the Executive Director consult PMG Associates
on the price for only the Community Redevelopment Agency and another price from the Florida
Housing Finance Corporation. Mayor Taylor was not in favor of taking the developer's choice to
do the verification. Vice Mayor Rodriguez was willing to use any entity that was available. Ms.
Bright noted the Florida Housing Finance Corporation would not be able to provide the service
requested in the scope. She offered the Community Redevelopment Agency's auditor could do
the work. Vice Mayor Rodriguez indicated he was only attempting to reduce the $70,000 price
tag. Mayor Taylor was confident in using PMG Associates.
Ms. Bright explained the problem was devising a scope of services that matches the
requirements of the verification. There was a convoluted process to follow. Mayor Taylor
admonished the issue needed to be presented to the Community Redevelopment Agency Board
17
Meeting Minutes
Regular City Commission

for any change in the directive previously given. Vice Mayor Rodriguez requested consensus
that the Executive Director be given a new directive to furnish a list of the available vendors
contacted and the cost for separate verifications. Attorney Cherof advised giving the Executive
Director any direction would be out of order. Vice Mayor Rodriguez contended the Executive
Director asks for consensus through emails. Attorney Cherof cautioned the line would be
crossed between acting as the Commission and the Community Redevelopment Agency Board
which should not be done. He did feel the Executive Director could consider the comments and
discussion without waiting for a vote at the next meeting. It would be her decision.
Mr. Beguristain clarified Auburn Group would be willing to remove Phase IV. Attorney Cherof
advised the position of Auburn Group had nothing to do with the discussion before the
Commission. Mayor Taylor indicated the change could not be discussed at a Commission
meeting.
Vice Mayor Rodriguez referred to the prior minutes and asked for the status of meetings to be
held with the developer and then with the community. Mayor Taylor replied the Community
Redevelopment Agency Board had decided there would be a combined meeting. Commissioner
Weiland did not recall the decision and the scheduled meeting at the Sims Center was a
surprise.
Ms. Bright clarified the Board had tabled discussion on January 20, 2009. She understood Mr.
Beguristain had appeared and requested to reconvene the meeting that had been scheduled for
5:45 p.m. Ms. Bright had received an email from Chair Taylor suggesting another meeting be
scheduled at the end of February. Mr. Beguristain then called Ms. Bright requesting the
meeting be earlier in the month. Ms. Bright was attempting to accommodate the developer and
had scheduled the February 11, 2009 meeting. Mr. Beguristain concurred with Ms. Bright's
version of the events and expressed his hope that the City and the Community Redevelopment
Agency were serious about moving forward with the project.
Vice Mayor Rodriguez opined neither the Commission nor the Community Redevelopment
Agency were comfortable enough with the agreement and the language to entertain comments
and input from the community. Commissioner Weiland agreed. Vice Mayor Rodriguez felt the
contract should be negotiated first and then submit it to the community. Commissioner Ross
countered that the Commission may never be comfortable with the agreement.
Mr. Beguristain argued with the elimination of Phase IV, any disagreement or delay was only an
excuse. Auburn Group was looking forward to working with the City of Boynton Beach and the
Community Redevelopment Agency. He would prefer that the entire City appear at the meeting
to understand that moving City Hall and the Police station west may indicate the lack of desire
on the part of the City and Community Redevelopment Agency to move the project forward.
Commissioner Hay inquired if the elimination of Phase IV would reduce the monies the
Community Redevelopment Agency would need to contribute. Mr. Beguristain responded it
would significantly reduce the contribution by $13 million. Commissioner Hay pointed out the
February 11, 2009 meeting would be the first time Auburn Group would be presenting the
project plans to the public. He also commented the discussions support his opinion that the
18
Meeting Minutes
Regular City Commission

Community Redevelopment Agency should be an independent board from the Commission. It
was Commissioner Hay's preference that one company be hired to do both verifications, but did
not object to the proposal of Vice Mayor Rodriguez either. He did not agree with the developer
having input on the choice of vendor for the verifications. Many questions remained
unanswered.
Mayor Taylor pointed out an announcement had been made regarding the meeting on February
11, 2009 at the Sims Center and the comments from the Heart of Boynton residents, the
developer and adjoining Homeowner Associations or any citizen should be heard. The contract
could then be negotiated based on the input from the public. Commissioner Hay agreed.
Ms. Bright read, for the record, the following excerpt from the January 13, 2009 meeting.
There was a motion, "Vice Chair Rodriguez offered a motion to move forward in preparing a
final document for review and approval and a joint meeting with the CRA, City Commission on
January 20, 2009. The final document would be based on all discussion tonight including the
issue of moving forward with the third party review. Mr. Weiland seconded the motion.
Attorney Cherof noted moving forward with the third party review would not delay the matter
but could result in an end to the agreement. The motion passed unanimously." Ms. Bright
stressed, based on the motion, the Community Redevelopment Agency staff had worked
diligently creating an action meeting. She was under the impression the City Commission was
anticipating only a discussion meeting and requested direction to aid in preparing materials for
the meeting.
Vice Mayor Rodriguez remained unsure of the intent of the scheduled meeting. Commissioner
Weiland recalled the developer had requested a faster timeline and to meet with staff,
Commission and Community Redevelopment Agency to resolve issues. He did not remember
any discussion regarding community involvement and meeting at the Sims Center to bring all
parties together. Mr. Beguristain added an agreed upon plan should be submitted to the
community for input as long as the project moves forward as quickly as possible. He hoped the
meeting on February 11, 2009 would include voting, policy direction and discussion of the
Master Development Agreement to conclude the negotiations.
Mayor Taylor thought it should be an information gathering format to be utilized in formulating
the Master Development Agreement to be presented to the Community Redevelopment Agency
Board and the City Commission. Commissioner Ross remembered the term public forum being
used. Vice Mayor Rodriguez and Commissioner Weiland questioned their role in a public forum
and the meeting. Mayor Taylor replied to listen and Commissioner Hay agreed. Vice Mayor
Rodriguez concluded a meeting would not be conducted.
Commissioner Hay pointed out the goal was to get all parties at the same level and listen
without making any decisions. Mayor Taylor suggested it be considered a special workshop
meeting. There would also be a Community Redevelopment Agency Board meeting on Tuesday
with the workshop meeting on Wednesday. Commissioner Weiland advised he had not been
contacted regarding a special workshop meeting. Commissioner Hay noted attendance was not
mandatory .

(Vice Mayor Rodriguez left the dais at 8:31 p.m. and returned at 8:32 p.m.)
Lee Wische, 1302 SW 18th Street, commented his inquiries revealed that the Community
Redevelopment Agency did not have enough funding to enter into an agreement based on
insufficient financial information or site plan development. A fiduciary and financial
responsibility was owed to the citizens.
Nancy Chandler, 914 NE ih Street, clarified Auburn had approached Inlet Cove Association
(INCA) to schedule a meeting. A meeting was scheduled for February 11, 2009 and the Heart
of Boynton residents were being invited to also hear the presentation. She agreed with Mr.
Wische that no plans were available and commitments were expected. It was then decided it
would be a joint meeting held at the Sims Center. She was hopeful the meeting would clarify
any issues and suggested the plans for Phase IV should be revealed even though it has now
been withdrawn.
Mr. Bressner clarified the February 11, 2009 meeting at the Sims Center would be a Special
Community Redevelopment Agency Workshop.
Herb Suss, 1711 Woodfern Drive, inquired how any progress could be made without a site
plan. He was bothered with the perceived need to rush the project and the conflict between
Auburn Group and PMG Associates. Mayor Taylor advised the conflict had already been
discussed at a prior meeting. Mr. Suss noted Vice Mayor Rodriguez had run unopposed in the
last election and inquired if Vice Mayor Rodriguez had accepted a donation or money from
Auburn for his campaign and did he give the money back. Mayor Taylor indicated the inquiry
had nothing to do with the discussion before the Commission.
Vice Mayor Rodriguez was willing to answer the question. He indicated he had not accepted a
penny from the Auburn Group and had no interest in the project except to redevelop the area.
He was upset there had never been a final document presented to the Commission and the
project had not commenced. Six weeks had passed and a vendor had not yet been selected to
gather financial information. Everyone agreed financial information is important whether one
vendor or two vendors are utilized. It was Vice Mayor Rodriguez only interest to redevelop the
northeast section of the City of Boynton Beach. He apologized if Mr. Suss perceived something
different.
Mr. Suss indicated he had documentation that refuted Vice Mayor Rodriguez's statement that no
funds had been accepted from Auburn Group. Mayor Taylor reiterated the inquiry was not
related to the discussion before the Commission. Mr. Suss asserted it had to be discussed
because Vice Mayor Rodriguez had accepted money from Auburn for a campaign that he ran
unopposed. The disposition of those funds was an issue.
Commissioner Weiland interjected it was a point of order and the comments had nothing to do
with the discussion. Mr. Suss contended it was perception and stressed the need for an
independent Community Redevelopment Agency Board.

Meeting Minutes
Regular City Commission
Boynton Beach, FL.
February 3, 2009
Mayor Taylor asserted he had tried on several occasions to separate the issues and everyone
continued to discuss Community Redevelopment Agency Board matters. Mr. Suss was
concerned with the rush to proceed and felt another developer should be sought.
Mr. Beguristain advised the City and the Community Redevelopment Agency had been provided
with site plans, renderings, elevations and other information. They would be shown again for
the fourth or fifth time to the community at the February 11, 2009 meeting. Mr. Beguristain
declared Auburn Group had contributed to every single campaign. Commissioner Weiland
advised no funds had been contributed to his campaign. Mayor Taylor and Vice Mayor
Rodriguez indicated they did not remember the contribution. Vice Mayor Rodriguez mentioned
if everybody that came before the Commission had contributed to the campaigns, they would
be in trouble.
Victor Norfus, 261 N. Palm Drive, verified that a final version of the Master Development
Agreement had not been prepared. Mayor Taylor confirmed even the Community
Redevelopment Agency did not have the final agreement. Mr. Norfus noted it remained unclear
the purpose of the upcoming workshop other than addressing the issues. He suggested
alternatives should be investigated to get the area redeveloped. The grocery store remains an
issue, as well as the time factor. The venue should be opened to the citizens to participate.
Mayor Taylor made it clear the meeting would involve the developer presenting his proposal
and all the residents would have an opportunity to comment and make their proposals.
Changes may be made and eventually an agreement submitted for approval. It would be the
opportunity for community input.
Commissioner Weiland added proposals from developers and community input have been
presented to Commissions for many years. Eventually the Commission makes the final decision
and many projects have not gone forward. Recently, good projects have been completed.
Delray Beach has had turmoil and the Commission has taken a stand to proceed. Boynton
Beach should experience the same type of decisiveness. He speculated six months ago the
entire tone of the project changed. Improving the quality of life for others is the responsibility
of government. He opined the project would not happen.
XIV. ADJOURNMENT:
There being no further business to come before the Commission, Mayor Taylor properly
adjourned the meeting at 8:47 p.m.

February 12, 2009
Following my review of the draft 2/3/09 Commission meeting, I wish to add a corrective and clarifying note
to the minutes to reflect that I did NOT consider the category of campaign contributions when responding
to a question from a citizen inquiring if I received money from the Auburn Group. Had I considered that
category, my answer would have been in the affirmative. I have subsequently reviewed my campaign
account records, which are on file with the city clerks as a public record, and they indicate that on
7/21/2006, the Auburn Group Inc. contributed $500 to my campaign. Other than campaign contribution, I
can confirm that' received no other funds from the Auburn Group.
