While some seating would be provided, she suggested attendees bring folding chairs and blankets. No pets or personal fireworks would be permitted. As of last week, the Coast Guard had cancelled all of the permits issued to cities displaying fireworks on the water. Staff had been working with Grucci, and Ms. Biscuiti was able to have the permits reinstated. The contract with Grucci had been renegotiated for the current year at the original rate of $38,000. B. Community and Special Events: None C. Presentations: 1. Proclamations None 2. Presentations: None 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> Lillian Gottfried, 1102 Renaissance Way, commented she had been assaulted at a Homeowners' Association meeting and reported the incident to the Police Department. She contended nothing had been done, and she believed this conflicted with the Department's mission. Lawrence Gottfried, 1102 Renaissance Way, advised he had received a copy of the Police Department's Rules and Regulations. He contended he was also assaulted at a Homeowners' Association meeting and had been interrogated by police. He had requested a me~ting with Commissioner Ross and the police lieutenant and would ask that charges be brought against a number of police officers. Mayor Taylor noted Mr. Gottfried had appeared before the Commission on three or four occasions, citing allegations against the Police Department. The allegations and assaults had been reviewed and could not be verified, but were forwarded to the State Attorney's Office as demanded by Mr. Gottfried. While Mr. Gottfried had leveled serious allegations against the City's Police Chief and police officers, Mayor Taylor noted he stood firmly behind the entire Police Department. He suggested Mr. Gottfried seek legal counsel and level charges, if he felt he had grounds to do so, 2 Meeting Minutes Regular City Commission Boynton Beach, Florida June 16, 2009 and Mayor Taylor would do so as well. Mayor Taylor recommended Commissioner Ross not meet with Mr. Gottfried. Jim Knight, 740 Havana Drive, Boca Raton, noted he was a member of the steering committee for the CRA. The committee had taken an informative tour of the downtown via the trolley. He commended the Commission for doing a wonderful job, and he hoped development would move forward in the City. Barbara Ready, 329 SW 1ih Avenue, recently attended three workshops from the State Conference for the Florida Trust for Historic Preservation. Two of the workshops pertained to LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) methods and the third to financial incentives available. Cities that had adopted a Historic Preservation Ordinance and were Certified Local Governments (CLG) could access grants and tax credits. Delray Beach and West Palm Beach were Certified Local Governments, and she believed Boynton Beach should be certified as well. She requested the "knockdown funds" of $625,000 be used to stabilize the roof of the Old High School and to seed the upcoming 501(c)(3) Foundation. She provided sample ordinances from the County and the State Historic Preservation Office. Commissioner Rodriguez believed the City should have its own ordinance to preserve some of the City's historic buildings and requested staff look into this. He felt it was unfortunate the City did not have an ordinance that would have preserved the Old Train Station. Commissioner Ross fully supported all of the points addressed by Ms. Ready and believed a historic preservation ordinance should be established as soon as possible. Vice Mayor Hay expressed his support as well and believed the City should save the Old High School and other historic buildings, if feasible. Mayor Taylor noted the Board's consensus. Lee Wische, 1302 SW 18th Street, noted he had been well acquainted with Chief Immler and Sergeant Sheridan for some time and knew them to be honorable people. Mr. Gottfried had been troubled since the time he moved into Renaissance Commons. He had been removed as Chairman of the Board and replaced by Sergeant Sheridan. While Mr. Gottfried had leveled charges against the Boynton Beach Police on two occasions, the charges had been dismissed. Mr. Wische believed Mr. Gottfried was in need of help. Andria Heaven, 8149 Mystic Harbor Circle, appeared on behalf of the Boynton Hoops, ages 10 and under category. The team had placed second in the State Tournament in Lakeland, Florida. She thanked the Commission for its support. The team ranked first place in the State of Florida and second in the nation and would be attending the Nationals in Fort Wayne, Indiana July 5-8, 2009. The Coach and team players were recognized. Kathleen Carroll, 22 Crossings Circle, commented on the water rate increase and its adverse affect on working citizens. Attempts were being made for units in the community to be sub- metered, placing the responsibility for water usage on the individual unit owner. The increase would cause many citizens of the City to live without water. In lieu of the rate increase, she inquired whether revenue could be generated from other sources. Her community's water bill had increased from $13,500 per month to $18,000, requiring a special assessment to cover the water bill until the end of the year. An additional assessment would be required for the cost to sub- 3 Meeting Minutes Regular City Commission Boynton Beach, Florida June 16, 2009 meter as well, unless the City was able to provide assistance. The assessments could force residents into foreclosure. If it were necessary to raise the maintenance costs, residents could be charged more than $300 per month in a low-income housing community. Kurt Bressner, City Manager, noted City staff had looked at the layout of the building and was working with the plumbing contractor for the Crossings. He agreed sub-metering would be the best way to assign accountability for the water usage. The buildings were originally constructed with a single meter for each building. City staff was working with the community to resolve the issue and as such, water service would not be discontinued. John McGovern, 2620 Spiceberry Lane, provided a study funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which highlighted the condition of the nation's schools. In 1995-1996, fewer than 60% of students had graduated from high school. In 2005-2006, a significant improvement had been observed in the southern states, with the exception of Florida and Georgia. A 10-year review of the schools in the State of Florida revealed a decline in graduation rates. The website for the School District of Palm Beach County indicated 72% of students had graduated from high school. Mr. McGovern believed the statistics were more likely between 60% and 72%. The study was provided to the Commission for information and reflection. Mr. McGovern believed public leaders should advocate for improved education. No one else coming forward, Mayor Taylor closed the public hearing. v. ADMINISTRATIVE: A. Accept the resignation of Martin Helo, an alternate member of the Library Board. Motion Commissioner Ross moved to accept the resignation. Vice Mayor Hay seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. B.

Proposed Resolution No. R09-087 RE: Approving and authorizing execution of a Lease Agreement with Team Reel Estate, Inc. d/b/a Florida Fishing Academy for use of the Bait Shop at Boat Club Park to be operated as a bait shop for a period of three years for a total of $15,375 of in-kind value to the City annually. Commissioner Weiland pulled Item VI.c.1. for discussion. 5 Meeting Minutes Regular City Commission Boynton Beach, Florida June 16, 2009 2. Proposed Resolution No. R09-088 RE: Approving and authorizing execution of a lease agreement for a proposed telecommunications tower at the City's West Water Utility Plant located at 5469 Boynton Beach Boulevard for an initial term of 5 years and renewal of 5 additional 5-year terms for a total of 30 years with a monthly rent of $2,000 adjusted (103%) annually and an additional $500 rent for each subtenant that co-locates on the tower.

Authorize the use of $500 of Community Investment Funds from Commissioner Ross for the Poinciana Elementary Magnet School to provide special programs for students. Motion Commissioner Weiland moved to approve the Consent Agenda Items with the exception of those pulled for discussion. Vice Mayor Hay seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. VI.B.2. Award a contract to Glatting Jackson for the design of the MeadowsjNautica Park in the amount of $60,000. (Proposed Resolution No. R09-086) Commissioner Weiland noted while he had supported the development of the park, in light of budget concerns and the possibility of a tax increase, borrowing from the reserves or cutting services, he could not support moving forward with the design and construction of another park at this time. The item could be revisited in more favorable economic times. Vice Mayor Hay could not support moving forward with the contract at this time. He had received mail and telephone calls from a large majority of citizens who did not want the park. He noted there were already three parks in the area. Perhaps the item could be considered at a later date. 6 Meeting Minutes Regular City Commission Boynton Beach, Florida June 16, 2009 Commissioner Ross believed it would be premature to consider moving forward with the contract. She felt discussions would provide further clarity. One group at the Meadows favored the park while another had expressed opposition. In the face of the economic crisis and possible major budget cuts, the Commission would be accountable for spending $300,000 on a "nice-to-have," passive park. Commissioner Rodriguez requested clarity, as it was his understanding grants had been provided for the park. If that were the case, he inquired as to the impact of losing the grant monies. Wally Majors, Recreation and Parks Director, advised the City was eligible to receive approximately $500,000 in grants for the Congress Avenue Barrier-Free Park. The project was proposed to be funded through park impact fees collected from developers. If the Commission did not wish to move forward, the $60,000 could only be used for the parks. Commissioner Rodriguez inquired whether staff would come back to the Commission with a recommendation as to the manner in which the resources would be utilized. Mr. Bressner responded staff had already recommended allocations to the beach project which had been fully funded from the Recreation and Parks fund. The funds would be available for other projects that could be reallocated or held. Commissioner Weiland noted if the park were constructed, the General Fund would be impacted in the future as funds would be required to maintain the park. Mr. Bressner interjected the project could be repositioned in 2010 or 2011 for consideration at that time. Motion Commissioner Weiland moved to deny Item VI.B.2. Vice Mayor Hay seconded the motion. Don Scantlan, 13 Cedar Circle, noted he resided in the Meadows. He did not feel Vice Mayor Hay could have heard from a majority of the neighborhood, as the community consisted of approximately 1,300 units. The Homeowners' Association would be sending a letter to all members, requesting their opinions which would then be provided to the Commission. The construction of the park would not affect water rates and would only affect property taxes marginally for maintenance expenses. The use of LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) technology in the construction of the park would minimize the maintenance and ecological impact. If the design and construction were to be delayed two or three years, the costs could escalate. Those in favor of the park were requesting a passive park similar to Boynton Lakes that would be beneficial to the community. Barbara Mielke, 1701 Meadows Circle West, was not aware prior to this meeting, of any notification asking for the community's opinions relative to the park. She expressed her opposition to the park. With the recent water rate hike and budget cuts, she could not understand why money would be spent for the park. Maintenance costs would impact the General Fund. She and many of her neighbors endeavored to keep the park clean. Commenting on the damage to the site, .she expressed displeasure in having to contribute to the cleanup costs. 7 Meeting Minutes Regular City Commission Boynton Beach, Florida June 16, 2009 Mr. Bressner replied it would be necessary for staff to clean up the area because materials were dumped and public property had been maliciously damaged. Unfortunately, the taxpayers would have to help pay for the cleanup. Terry Lonergan, 45 Rutland Lane, President of the 300 HOA Meadows, noted the park had been an ongoing issue. The letter from the Association would accompany the maintenance statements at the end of July. The letter would be factual and unbiased, and would provide an opportunity for the residents to make an informed decision as to whether or not they desired the park. The residents had been promised the park for a number of years. The vacant site was currently littered with debris and rotten vegetation, and was plagued by rodents. The money allocated for the park could not be used to decrease water or tax bills and could only be used for parks and recreation. The residents favoring the park were asking for something better than the existing site. In light of the letter going out to the residents, Commissioner Rodriguez suggested the matter be tabled until feedback had been received by the Commission. Substitute Motion Commissioner Rodriguez moved to table the matter until the feedback had been received on the informational letter being sent out by the Association. The motion died for lack of a second. The motion to deny passed unanimously. VI. c.1. Proposed Resolution No. R09-087 RE: Approving and authorizing execution of a Lease Agreement with Team Reel Estate, Inc. d/b/a Florida Fishing Academy for use of the Bait Shop at Boat Club Park to be operated as a bait shop for a period of three years for a total of $15,375 of in- kind value to the City annually. While Commissioner Weiland believed the Florida Fishing Academy was a worthwhile orqanization, he did not favor offering in-kind services to a non-profit organization that would benefit financially from the use of the building. The Academy would pay $1 per year for three years. Nothing had been included with the meeting materials as to the Board formed to run the organization or the amount of money the members received for their positions. Vice Mayor Hay knew of three similar businesses within close proximity which could be negatively impacted by the Florida Fishing Academy. Some of the bait and tackle businesses were on the borderline of remaining in business. He concurred with Commissioner Weiland and could not support this item. Commissioner Rodriguez interjected the Florida Fishing Academy was a commendable organization and had supported the Youth Violence Prevention Program. If the Commission had an interest in leasing the building for revenue, he felt a Request for Proposals (RFP) should be solicited. This would provide an opportunity for other businesses to compete. Commissioner Weiland concurred. 8 Meeting Minutes Regular City Commission Boynton Beach, Florida June 16, 2009 Mayor Taylor supported the proposal as he believed it would be beneficial to the City and to the youngsters participating in the Youth Violence Prevention Program. Captain Brochu would provide more than $15,000 in in-kind services while instilling values in the City's youth. Commissioner Ross asked to hear from the other bait and tackle business owners present. Jack Gayegian, 30-year owner of the Boynton Fisherman Supply, had always paid fire inspection and license fees required by the City, as well as electricity and City and County taxes. He contended none of these fees would be paid by the proposed business and the owner would be able to compete with lower prices. He felt the City was subsidizing a profit-making organization and was against the proposal. Gary Miller, Manager of Florida Native Bait and Tackle, commented Florida Native Bait and Tackle had been operating for nine years, primarily servicing the fishermen using the Boynton Beach Boat Ramp. While he was a strong advocate for youth, he expressed concern in that the proposed shop would be located in close proximity to Florida Native Bait and Tackle as well as four other existing shops. While he believed in competition, he contended the proposed shop had an unfair advantage as the owner would not have the overhead expenses had by the other shops. Any decrease in sales could force the Florida Native Bait and Tackle shop to close. Randy Blair, 646 Oak Street, commented previous attempts to locate a bait shop at the entrance to the Boat Club Park building had failed as a result traffic problems, noise pollution, and odors emanating from dumpsters. He believed the proposed shop could adversely affect the existing businesses. He resided just south of the site, and felt the request should be denied. Zara Sette, President of Florida Fishing Academy, addressed Commissioner Weiland's concerns and advised the six-member Board for the not-for-profit Florida Fishing Academy Board served in voluntary positions and received no compensation. Any monies derived were put back into the program for the benefit of the children. Vickie Verzi, 4622 Jill Place, Lake Worth, remarked her son attended Poinciana Elementary School and became associated with Captain Richard Brochu through the School's aftercare program. The Captain taught her son a love of fishing and how to make his own poles. The proposed bait shop would provide a learning environment for the children, keeping them off the streets and away from gangs. Donnie Metcalf, a student at Poinciana Elementary School, had attended the fishing club led by Captain Brochu. The Captain taught the students how to fish and provided fishing poles. The shop would provide a haven for youngsters and would keep them away from drugs. Richard Brochu, Florida Fishing Academy, provided Form 990EZ showing the organization brought in a total income in 2008 of $16,511. The form also reflected Captain Brochu had donated 40 hours per week without compensation. Captain Robert Cawood, Instructor, was the only person receiving any compensation, and his salary in 2008 was $7,500. Captain Brochu invested nearly $7,000 last year in the Academy. The monies allocated from the Youth Violence 9 Meeting Minutes Regular City Commission Boynton Beach, Flonda June 16, 2009 Prevention Program had been depleted in March. Since that time, Captain Brochu had used monies from earned income provided by the YMCA and Title I schools to help fund the Youth Violence Prevention Program for the remainder of the year. In the last three months, the Academy had contributed more than $1,295 to the City based on the donation of Captain Brochu's time. The children were attending summer camp one to two hours per week for a 10 to 12 week period and were taught values and the importance of self esteem. He provided the Board with a floor plan of the proposed shop which, after being subdivided, consisted of 400 square feet. In addition to the base rent, he would be providing 300 hours of community service in programming for the children. The revenue generated from any items sold would be used to take the children fishing. Mr. Majors explained the lessee would be required to pay for water while the City would be responsible for all ather services including sewer, electricity, telephone, security, solid waste disposal, recycling and alarm services. Commissioner Rodriguez's concern was there had not been a competitive process to allow the use of the facility and this created an unfair advantage. Additionally, Captain Brochu had already been conducting some of activities proposed and had been receiving compensation through the Youth Violence Prevention Program for those activities. Captain Robert Cawood, Instructor for the Florida Fishing Academy, felt the proposed facility would be beneficial to the City and would provide a safe haven for youngsters who would learn how to fish and have a good life. Jim St. Pierre, 700 SW 8th Place, noted he was a part-time City employee and had worked at the boat ramp for three years. The program for children was wonderful, but the boat ramp was very busy on weekends and holidays, .and was not safe for children. He had observed the boat ramp backed up to the building on a number of occasions. Four City workers were employed at the boat ramp earning $25,000 per year combined. The facility earned in excess of $25,000 per year with the sale of decals and other items. Nicole Brochu, wife of Captain Brochu and Secretary of the Board of the Florida Fishing Academy, reiterated the Board served without compensation. The proposed bait shop would generate the revenue necessary to expand the program while making good use of a vacant building. The program was key to reducing youth violence. Leroy Zulker, 146 Ocean Court, also worked at the boat ramp and fully supported the program. However, boat and trailer traffic was heavy on the weekends and parking was limited. While the Commissioners believed the program was good, they had concerns relating to safety issues, proximity of the proposed shop to existing businesses and the lack of a competitive process. 10 Meeting Minutes Regular City Commission Boynton Beach, Florida June 16, 2009 Motion Commissioner Rodriguez moved to deny Item VI.c.1. Vice Mayor Hay seconded the motion that passed unanimously. VI.F. Authorize the use of $1,000 of Community Investment Funds from Vice Mayor Hay for the Museum of Lifestyle & Fashion History. VI.G. Authorize the use of $750 of Community Investment Funds from Commissioner Ross for the Museum of Lifestyle & Fashion History. Lori Durante, Museum of Lifestyle & Fashion History, advised the Boynton Beach Mall was donating 8,000 square feet of space for the Museum to use for three years. The mall location would allow the Museum to produce exhibitions, offer educational and children's programs year- round and would be of economic benefit to Boynton Beach. Response from the community had been positive. Museum officials were in the process of raising funds for minor renovations to the facility in preparation for the exhibits and programs, and the City's support was requested. Mayor Taylor noted a newspaper article had indicated a member of the organization had absconded with a substantial amount of money donated to the organization and he suggested Vice Mayor Hay and Commissioner Ross might wish to table this item until they had an opportunity to look into the matter. Commissioner Ross indicated she did want to look into the matter. Commission.er Weiland indicated he had read an article regarding this issue some months ago but had heard nothing since that time. Vice Mayor Hay noted he still wished to authorize the use of his funds for the Museum contingent upon the outcome of the findings. Mayor Taylor noted if the item was tabled, it would be brought back to the Commission at the next meeting, and a decision could be reached based on the facts. Attorney Cherof noted the expenditures were discretionary and he suggested all the information be secured before the discretion was exercised. As such, he recommended the matter be tabled. He noted he would work with the Police Department to gather the information. Motion Vice Mayor Hay moved to table Items VI.F. and VI.G. Commissioner Ross seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. VI.H. Authorize the use of $500 of Community Investment Funds from Commissioner Ross for the Poinciana Elementary Magnet School to provide special programs for students. In considering the comments offered by Mr. McGovern, and as Poinciana Elementary Magnet was one of the County's finest schools, Vice Mayor Hay agreed to donate $500 from his Community Investment Funds for the programs. Commissioner Ross noted the funds should be allocated to either the "Odyssey of the Mind" or "Lego Robotics" programs at Poinciana. 11 Meeting Minutes Regular City Commission Boynton Beach, Flonda June 16, 2009 Motion Vice Mayor Hay moved to approve Item VI.H. with the modification. Commissioner Ross seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. VII. CODE COMPLIANCE &. LEGAL SETTLEMENTS: None VIII. PUBLIC HEARING: 7:00 P.M. OR AS SOON THEREAFTER AS THE AGENDA PERMITS The City Commission will conduct these public hearings in its dual capacity as Local Planning Agency and City Commission. Attorney Cherof administered the oath to all who would be testifying. He pointed out his firm had previously indiCated a conflict on Items B, C and D addressed at the Planning and Development Board meeting of May 26, 2009, and an attorney from another firm had been present to ansv"er legal questions. The firm represented a charter school program that would potentially lease from the applicant if the item is approved. As such, if there were any legal questions during discussion of the item, Attorney Cherof suggested that at that point, the item be tabled to the next meeting and the attorney who had attended the Plannil1g and Development Board meeting would be present to respond to legal questions. A. Project: Agent: Owner: Location: Description: Seacrest Garden Office Building (MSPM 09-004) Jose Aguila of Curry Sowards Aguila Architects M. F. Sea crest, LLC 2860 Seacrest Blvd. Request for approval for the construction of a 14,206 square foot addition to an existing 1,693 square foot building for a total of 15,899 square feet, on the site of an existing one-story dentist office within the C-1 Office Professional zoning district. Kathleen Zeitler, Planner, presented the request as set forth in the staff report. The applicant was requesting a major site plan modification approval for the construction of an addition to an existing dental office on South Sea crest Boulevard. The proposed two-story building would consist of understory parking with two floors of offices above, and the existing building would be slightly renovated to match. Staff recommended approval subject to the conditions listed in Exhibit lie." The Planning and Development Board had also recommended approval, subject to the conditions. Jose Aguila, Curry Sowards Aguila Architects, noted he was in agreement with the conditions of approval. 12 Meeting Minutes Regular City Commission Boynton Beach, Florida June 16, 2009 Mayor Taylor opened the public hearing. No one coming forward, Mayor Taylor closed the public hearing. Motion Mr. Weiland moved to approve Item VIlLA. Vice Mayor Hay seconded the motion that passed unanimously. B.

New Urban High Ridge, LLC West side of High Ridge Road, approximately 0.25 miles north of Miner Road Request to rezone from Planned Unit Development (PUD) to the Single and Two-Family Dwelling (R-2) zoning district. (1st Reading Proposed Ordinance No. 09-031) Imagine Charter School at Boynton Beach (COUS 09-003) Bradley Miller, AICP, Miller Land Planning Consultants, Inc. New Urban High Ridge, LLC West side of High Ridge Road, approximately 0.25 miles north of Miner Road Request for Conditional Use/New Site Plan approval to construct a Charter School on a 4.22-acre parcel in a proposed R-2 zoning district. Imagine Charter School at Boynton Beach (HTEX 09-001) Bradley Miller, AICP, Miller Land Planning Consultants, Inc. New Urban High Ridge, LLC West side of High Ridge Road, approximately 0.25 miles north of Miner Road Request for a height exception of nine (9) feet to allow decorative architectural features to exceed the maximum building height of 25 feet, for a total of 34 feet at its highest point. Mayor Taylor suggested all three items be discussed simultaneously. There was no objection from the Commission. Bradley Miller, Miller Land Planning Consultants, Inc. had no objection. Hanna Matras, Senior Planner, presented an overview of the rezoning request. It had been the intent of the property owner to develop a residential project on the site. However, the project was no longer economically feasible. The owner had previously requested a land use amendment from the existing Medium Density Residential (MeDR) to Industrial (I) and rezoning from Planned Unit Development (PUD) to Industrial (M-1). In March 2009, the property owner notified staff that the northern portion of the property was under contract to be sold and 13 Meeting Minutes Regular City Commission Boynton Beach, Florida June 16, 2009 developed as a charter school. The requested zoning district R-2, single and two-family dwelling, was consistent with the existing land use and allowed schools as a conditional use. As a result, the pending land use application and rezoning had been adjusted, and the request would only apply to the remaining portion of the property. Staff recommended approval of the rezoning as the request was consistent with the relevant policies in the Comprehensive Plan that allowed non-residential uses in residential land use districts if the use was a community facility. The request was also consistent with the policies of the Comprehensive Plan which encouraged the location of a public school close to residential areas. The proposed amendment would be beneficial to the City, given the shortage of public schools in the area and overcrowded classrooms, and would not create an additional impact on infrastructure. The potential negative impact on the surrounding residential neighborhoods could be minimized through adequate screening and buffering in the project design. Ms. Zeitler presented an overview of the request for the conditional use application/new site plan approval and a height exception for a charter school on 4.2 acres in a proposed R-2 zoning district. The school would offer grades kindergarten through eighth grade (K-8) with an anticipated enrollment of 900 to 1,000 students and would provide a transition from the industrial uses to the south and the residential uses to the north and east. Staff evaluated the application using the conditional use review criteria. The applicant had satisfied the criteria which also included ingress and egress, traffic flow, vehicle stacking and pedestrian safety. Staff had recommended conditions of approval to mitigate the impacts and minimize conflicts such as staggering school hours, providing expediters through peak student drop-off and pickup times and servicing dumpsters during non-school hours. Traffic concurrency had been approved by Palm Beach County, which satisfied condition #1. The applicant had requested a nine-foot height exception for a small portion of the school building. The mass of the building would not exceed the R-2 district maximum height limitation of 25 feet and would be compatible with the neighboring residential properties. Architectural towers would be located on the front and rear building elevations, and the roof profile at the front entrance of the building would be 34 feet from ground level to the highest point. Based on the staff analysis and compliance with development regulations and conditional use standards, staff recommended approval of the conditional use, provided all 24 recommended conditions of approval had been satisfied. Staff also recommended approval of the height exception and that one year be allowed to initiate the project. On May 26, 2009 the Planning and Development Board recommended approval of the conditional use, subject to the conditions of approval, with added conditions for a school zone that complied with County approval and 18 months to initiate the project, as well as approval of the height exception. Mr. Miller noted his appearance on behalf of MG/3 Developers and expressed his agreement with the 26 conditions set forth in Exhibit "c." Mayor Taylor opened the public hearing. No one coming forward, Mayor Taylor closed the public hearing. Mr. Miller noted the proposed school had a sister school located in Lantana. Representatives of the existing school sought a location in Boynton Beach as the school had reached full capacity. 14 Meeting Minutes Regular City Commission Boynton Beach, Florida June 16, 2009 In response to the inquiry of Commissioner Rodriguez, Attorney Cherof advised there were no limitations as to the amount of charter schools that could operate in the City. Attorney Cherof read Proposed Ordinance No. 09-031 by title only on first reading. Motion Vice Mayor Hay moved to approve Item VIILB. with all conditions. Commissioner Weiland seconded the motion.

Motion Commissioner Weiland moved to approve Item VIII.D. Vice Mayor Hay seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. IX. CITY MANAGER'S REPORT: A. Report on Central Seacrest Potable Water and Stormwater Improvement Project Mr. Bressner noted an overall scope of the project would be presented to alert the Commission of impediments to be faced if the Commission were to authorize the project to proceed further. Walt Schwarz, of CH2M Hill, noted his appearance. CH2M Hill served as the City's design consultants and construction managers for the Central Seacoast Corridor drainage improvements and water main replacement project. Mr. Schwarz provided an overview of the goals, project area, impacts, proposed schedule and benefits to the community. The potable water project would replace water mains to improve water pressure and quality, replace old damaged pipelines and add fire hydrants to improve fire protection. Neighborhood improvements would be made and new sidewalks and driveway aprons would be installed. A new roadway overlay would be provided throughout the project area. Stormwater improvements would reduce nuisance flooding and improve water quality in the surficial aquifer. The project would replace the undersized water mains and water lines in easements behind properties that were difficult to maintain. Most of the water mains were in swales in front yards and would be replaced by new water mains. Stormwater improvements would be made to the swales and the swales would be restored to provide stormwater storage and infiltration into the aquifer, resulting in the removal of unpermitted improvements in rights-of-way. 15 Meeting Minutes Regular City Commission Boynton Beach, Florida June 16, 2009 The project area was defined by 1-95 to the west, Boynton Beach Boulevard to the north and Woolbright Road to the south. Sea crest Boulevard would run north and south through the eastern side of the project. Areas that had experienced erosion from runoffs during storms would have more extensive stormwater improvements consisting of pipes! exfiltration trenches and catch basins. While heavy construction activity would be occurring in neighborhoods during the project, the impact would be limited. The amount of work to be performed on adjacent streets would be restricted in order to minimize short-term traffic impacts. Unpermitted pavement would be removed and the parking areas would be replaced with constructed swales consisting of grass. The proposed project schedule called for bids to be advertised on July 1, 2009 and opened in August, with construction anticipated in September 2009. It was expected the project would be completed in November 2011. The benefits of the project included enhanced recharge for the surficial aquifer, improved draining to relieve flooding from minor thunderstorms, safer streets, increased property values and improved roadways and swales. Mayor Taylor noted $11.5 million had been allocated in the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for the project. He inquired whether the $11.5 million could be used to reduce the water rates in the City if the project were delayed a year or two. Peter Mazzella, Deputy Director of Utilities, noted the project would be limited in areas so that the contractor would not be working in the entire area at the same time. Funding had been obtained in the spring of 2008 and the City had already been paying debt services on the borrowed monies. The City had two years within which to spend the borrowed monies. Deferring the project would not decrease costs and going forward with the project at this time would reduce long-term operating and maintenance expenses. While Mayor Taylor understood the project was worthy, he reiterated his concern for the residents who would not be able to pay their water bills. Commissioner Weiland suggested scaling back the project, if possible, and directing monies to the General Fund for utilities so that the water rate could be reduced. Mr. Bressner believed opportunities might be available within the operating side of the Utility budget to stabilize the rates. An area that was critical in order for the Utility budget to move forward was the interconnect between the east and west plant, a bonded project which would allow the City to distribute the finished water throughout the community. At the request of the Commission, Mr. Bressner would provide a list of the projects that had not been bonded, together with the funding sources. Barry Atwood, Finance Director, explained the water rates had been increased to meet the bond coverage requirements of 1.10%. In response to Mayor Taylor's earlier inquiry, it was noted even if the project were delayed, it would not help reduce the water rates to the City's customers. 16 Meeting Minutes Regular City Commission Boynton Beach, Florida June 16, 2009 Commissioner Weiland requested the Commission direct staff to come back with some type of method by which water rates could be reduced. Commissioner Rodriguez felt the water rate issue should be discussed during the budget process. The Commission agreed. Motion Commissioner Rodriguez moved to approve Item IX.A. Mr. Weiland seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. B. 2009-10 Budget Preview - Report on Span of Control Analysis Mr. Bressner noted the operating budget, program evaluation and span of control analysis were being used to determine the levels of service and to ensure staff was positioned at appropriate levels and locations. Based the number of employees (approximately 900) and a review of the span of control, it was believed the issues raised required additional review by Human Resources. Commissioner Rodriguez remarked it appeared the span of control analysis had not included the number of employees reporting to each supervisor. Mr. Bressner indicated the information had not been included in the report as staff had focused on the supervisory relationships to determine whether such relationships were appropriate. Commissioner Weiland had previously requested a list of employees and their responsibilities. Commissioner Ross inquired whether the Commission should be provided information on Public Works and Engineering. Mr. Bressner explained if the departments were not listed in the report, there had not been an issue with that department in terms of levels of supervision. Commissioner Ross had requested information on employees' years of service. Mr. Bressner agreed to provide the information requested. Vice Mayor Hay had requested the span of control review and while a good analysis had been provided, the process was ongoing, and he felt the information should be expanded to include the number of employees. It was noted the Commissioners should each be proVided the identical information. Mayor Taylor felt the item should be discussed at the budget workshop, and Commission direction could be provided at that time. Commissioner Rodriguez believed a span of control review should include recommendations that would tighten the span of control. (Commissioner Weiland left the dais at 9:21 p.m. and returned at 9:23 p.m.) C. 2009-10 Budget Preview - Report on 2009 Program Analysis Mr. Bressner explained the review updated a 2007 program analysis that had been presented to the Commission at that time. Included with the meeting materials was a City Service Profile listing communities in Palm Beach and Broward Counties and the services provided, comparing Boynton Beach with other communities in the region. Boca Raton, Boynton Beach and West 17 Meeting Minutes Regular City Commission Boynton Beach, Florida June 16, 2009 Palm Beach were classified as "full service" communities. The other communities listed might offer services directly or contract with another governmental unit. Past and present Commissions for the City of Boynton Beach had made a decision that services were to be provided in-house. The current taxable values for Boynton Beach, Boca Raton and West Palm Beach were $4.5 billion, $17.6 billion and $9.6 billion, respectively. The taxable value for Delray Beach amounted to $6.9 billion and provided fewer services in-house than Boynton Beach. The program analysis provided staff an opportunity to review the programs and activities and to determine whether they should be continued. Mayor Taylor felt the information was very valuable and should be discussed at the budget workshop. Commissioners Rodriguez and Weiland requested the City Manager provide alternative services and various scenarios for cutting costs. Mr. Bressner indicated the Commission would have three target numbers for the General Fund together with associated activities. X. FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS: A. Consider the continuation or deferral of the "CONSTRUCTION OF CONGRESS AVENUE BARRIER FREE PLAYGROUND", Bid #017-2730-09jJA to Ocean Gate General Contractors of Stuart, FL for $1,925,000 plus an owner's contingency of 10% in the amount of $192,500 for a total expenditure of $2,117,500j501(c)(3) Discussion (Proposed Resolution No. R09-073) (Tabled to Budget Workshop) XI. NEW BUSINESS: None XII.

B. Ordinances - 2nd Reading - Non-Development - PUBLIC HEARING 1. Proposed Ordinance No. 09-029 abandonment of a portion of NE 12th Avenue. RE: Approving the Attorney Cherof read Proposed Ordinance No. 09-029 by title only on second reading. Mayor Taylor opened the public hearing. David Hemingway, 610 Mariner's Way, had submitted a Hold Harmless Agreement to the City and other documentation in order to move forward with the conveyance of the dock. Attorney Cherof noted all of the documentation had been in order. Commissioner Rodriguez had received an email regarding the Homeowners' Association and the fact that they had not voted on this issue. He felt the communication might be of concern to the Commission. Mr. Hemingway noted several disgruntled homeowners were contesting the action, but the vast majority of the community had no objection. The action would affect only Mr. Hemingway and the Homeowners' Association located across the canal. Attorney Cherof, Mr. Hemingway's attorney and the attorney for the Homeowners' Association had previously verified the action had been appropriate. Commissioner Ross noted Seamus Murphy had sent the email.Mr. Hemingway explained Mr. Murphy resided at the other end of the street and had opposed the action as he sought retribution regarding an internal Homeowners' Association issue. Attorney Cherof advised he had seen the message from Mr. Murphy. He asse~ed the abandonment process did not require any action by a property owner or association and was a unilateral determination by the Commission that owning or having control of the property no longer served a public benefit. The Commission's role in the action would conclude upon the adoption of the ordinance. The documents referred to dealt with the conveyance of the dock from the City to the Association and the adjacent property owner, and a release back from the Association and the adjacent property owner. The documents had nothing to do with the abandonment. No one else coming forward, Mayor Taylor closed the public hearing. 20 Meeting Minutes Regular City Commission Boynton Beach, Florida June 16, 2009 Motion Vice Mayor moved. to approve Proposed Ordinance No. 09-029. Commissioner Weiland seconded the motion. Vote City Clerk Prainito called the roll. The vote was 5-0. 2. Proposed Ordinance No. 09-030 RE: Approving the creation of a seven member Community Redevelopment Agency Board. Attorney Cherof read Proposed Ordinance No. 09-030 by title only on second reading. Mayor Taylor opened the public hearing. Buck Buchanan, 807 Ocean Inlet Drive, Chairman of the Board of the Boynton Beach Chamber of Commerce, and past President of Inlet Cove Association (INCA) noted both organizations supported the establishment of an independent board. During the past election, all three elected Commissioners voiced their support for an independent board. The ordinance passed 3-2 at the last meeting. Mr. Buchanan believed it was the will of the people that an independent board be created, and he urged the ordinance be unanimously adopted. Victor Norfus, 261 N. Palm Drive, opined the Commission would still maintain oversight of a new citizen board and he hoped all the Commissioners would support the measure. Mayor Taylor noted the last time a CRA Board had been appointed, the applicants had been interviewed by Quintus Greene, the CRA Director at that time, who thereafter presented a list to the City Commission for appointment. He inquired whether this procedure would be followed. City Clerk Prainito advised the process used in the past for the CRA Board followed the same process used by other boards and was used the last time the CRA Board members were appointed to an all-citizen board. Commissioner Rodriguez believed it would be a conflict of interest and inappropriate for the CRA Director to interview the applicants. Quintus Greene, Development Director, provided information on the manner in which the process was followed at the time he served as CRA Director. After he had interviewed the applicants, he compiled a list of the most qualified candidates and presented it to the Commission for approval with the proviso that the Commission accept his recommendation. The process had been reasonably successful. Commissioner Rodriguez believed, if the ordinance were approved, applications for CRA Board members should be accepted and a determination regarding the review and selection process could be made at a later date. Mayor Taylor commented a Community Committee of approximately 100 individuals had been created and had been providing input from CRA area residents. The Committee had been 21 Meeting Minutes Regular City Commission Boynton Beach, Florida June 16, 2009 meeting regularly with staff and recommendations were brought to the CRA Board. Mayor Taylor noted once an independent board had been established, the Commission would no longer have oversight of the CRA Board. Mayor Taylor believed the current CRA Board was doing a wonderful job and accomplishing a great deal. As such, he would not support the ordinance. Mr. Weiland noted the Commission had heard from only a small faction of the community and he did not feel the eRA Board was ready for the transition. He urged the Commission not to rush into anything. Questions raised by Commissioner Rodriguez are listed below, together with Attorney Cherofs responses. Q: Would the current CRA Board remain until the transition occurred? A: Yes. The Commission served as the CRA Board until the seven independent individuals were appointed. Q: What can the Commission do at this time to impose restraints on the board to be appointed? A: There is little the Commission can do, as there are powers prescribed by Statute, rather than by City Commission. Vice Mayor Hay noted the Community Committee met regularly with the Executive Director and provided input to the CRA. He had heard from the community on several occasions a:1d they supported the independent board. While he supported a seven-member board, he did not feel the Commission should rush into this and hoped the Commission could agree on a timeline. Mark Karageorge, 240A Main Boulevard, believed the ordinance should be approved but agreed the process should be slow and deliberate. In response to Commissioner Ross' inquiry, Attorney Cherof advised the ordinance did not set any timetable for the appointment of the seven-member board. Motion Commissioner Rodriguez moved to approve Proposed Ordinance No. 09-030. Vice Mayor Hay seconded the motion. Vote City Clerk Prainito called the roll. The vote was 3-2 (Mayor Taylor and Commissioner Weiland dissenting). C. Ordinances - 1st Reading 22 Meeting Minutes Regular City Commission Boynton Beach, Florida June 16, 2009 None D.

Attorney Cherof noted staff could answer specific questions as they had supervised and inspected the project and monitored the contractor's activities. The property owners had filed a complaint with the Department of Professional Regulation against the contractor, and the complaint had recently been dismissed. Thus, no action had been taken by the State against the contractor as a disciplinary or licensure issue. The property owners wanted the City to act as either a guarantor or an insurer of the work performed by the contractor. However, the City was neither a guarantor nor an insurer of any construction project on private property. The property owners were under contract with the contractor and the City was not a party to the contract, although the contractor had been selected through a process whereby City staff screened and evaluated contractors eligible and qualified to perform work under the City's program. Attorney Cherof recommended the City not provide any additional funds by way of guaranty or insurance for the work performed by the contractor. Vice Mayor Hay inquired whether other options were available. Attorney Cherof advised the only way the City could expend money to improve private property was through one of the City- approved programs. Unless the property owners were qualified under one of the programs, there was no alternative solution. The work performed was not new construction, but rather a rehabilitation project. The contractors worked on an existing structure that had numerous problems, some of which had not been remedied. 23 Meeting Minutes Regular City Commission Boynton Beach, Florida June 16, 2009 Octavia Sherrod, Community Improvement Manager, advised the funds expended for the project were State Housing Initiatives Partnership Program (SHIP) dollars which were no longer available for rehabs. The only monies available would be for down payment assistance. The City had already expended $46,000 on the dwelling. Ms. Sherrod had not yet inquired of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as to whether it would be appropriate to use HUD funding, as the dwelling had already been rehabilitated. Sonny Garcia, 1631 NW 3rd Lane, contended the roof still leaked, the toilet, floor and bathtub in the bathroom were not level, electrical panels were left open, the door to the new bedroom had not been properly installed and the floors in the bedroom were cracked. Commissioner Weiland inquired whether staff had a list of the scope of work to have been performed. Sal Belloise, Construction Coordinator with Community Improvement, provided background on the procedure followed prior to the work being performed as well as a synopsis of the circumstances surrounding the complaints made by the Figuroas. Mayor Taylor inquired as to Mr. Garcia's claim that the electrical panels were left open. Mr. Belloise explained the Chief Electrical Inspector had taken measures to ensure everything was done correctly. The panels had been covered, no breaker holes existed and a list evidencing the location of every breaker was attached to a door at the residence. Vice Mayor Hay had visited the dwelling in the latter part of 2007 or early 2008. He inquired whether the hurricanes had been responsible for the internal damage to the house. Mr. Belloise advised the exterior portion of the house had been severely damaged by the hurricanes. Vice Mayor Hay inquired whether someone else had made modifications to the work originally performed by the contractor. Mr. Belloise commented there had been no attempt by Mr. Figuroa to make any repairs caused by the hurricanes. Once the paperwork had been signed and the closing completed, the City was no longer involved and all issues would be between the Figuroas and the contractor. (Commissioner Rodriguez left the dais at 10:28 p.m. and returned at 10:30 p.m.) Maria Figueroa, 1630 NW 3rd Lane contended the work had not been suitable. Ms. Sherrod noted Community Improvement had rehabilitated 365 homes since 1989 and had always taken steps to ensure the contractors performed their work properly. Community Improvement had rehabilitated many houses that were overcrowded, and it was likely a house occupied by seven people would reflect indications of wear and tear. Mayor Taylor inquired as to the State Housing Initiatives Partnership Program (SHIP) monies. Ms. Sherrod explained SHIP monies were no longer available as they had been spent, allocated or encumbered by the City. As noted earlier, the City had already expended $46,000 on the dwelling. 24 Meeting Minutes Regular City Commission Boynton Beach, Florida June 16, 2009 (Commissioner Weiland left the dais at 10:33 p.m. and returned at 10:35 p.m.) Mr. Bressner had suggested both a structural and an environmental-engineering inspection be performed. Two firms had been hired at the City's expense, Walsh Engineering and Rogina, Inc., and they prepared the inspection reports which were included with the meeting materials. In the engineering report of August 2007, Mr. Walsh noted he had found a few minor problems needing repair such as the caulking at the front window and around the new tub in the addition and the need for t~e reattachment of the dining room ceiling. The only potentially serious problem was the framing at the north side of the front door. Mr. Walsh recommended further investigation of the area. Mr. Bressner was not aware whether any of the repairs had been made. Dr. Scarry's August 2007 environmental report indicated some improvements had not been made. Attorney Cherof disagreed. The report indicated the items were discovered in 2007. There was nothing in the report that indicated the problems were the result of the work performed by the contractors. Mr. Belloise verified the contractors had not worked in the areas identified as being faulty. Commissioner Rodriguez suggested someone examine the front door. He did not believe the issues complained of were tied to the construction and that the issues could be the result of a lack of maintenance. Mayor Taylor pointed out the City had no money for the repairs. Vice Mayor Hay expressed concern the situation could recur. Commissioner Ross noted it appeared Community Improvement had not previously experienced these problems. She inquired whether this situation would be ongoing or whether it was an isolated incident. Ms. Sherrod noted the Department had experienced minor incidents which had been resolved but had never experienced a situation of this magnitude. Commissioner Rodriguez inquired whether staff had received any documentation from the Figuroas indicating the work had been faulty after the renovations and repairs had been completed. Attorney Cherof advised the Community Improvement Division received a list of complaints from the Figuroas in October 2005 regarding aspects of the improvements which the Figuroas contended were not properly done. The memorandum was included with the meeting materials. Ms. Sherrod had received a note from the Figuroas thanking the City for providing .) lovely home for the family.and inviting staff to stop by. The letter was not dated. Commissioner Ross believed it was unfortunate there was no funding to tap into for the Figuroas. Attorney Cherof recommended the Commission bring closure to the matter, indicating no further action would be taken by the City. Motion Commissioner Rodriguez moved that Item XIII.A. be put aside and that no further action be taken. Commissioner Weiland seconded the motion. The motion passed 4-1 (Vice Mavor Hay dissenting). 25 Meeting Minutes Regular City Commission Boynton Beach, Florida June 16, 2009 XIV.

Whether the height exception will have adverse effect on the existing and proposed land uses. The proposed architectural tower features requiring the height exception are located on the east and west sides of the building. These structural features are required for aesthetic purposes and are a small portion of the building roof structure. The height exception will not have an adverse effect on the existing land use, We anticipate this project to have a positive influence on the City and be considered an example for new development. B). Whether the height exception is necessary. The height exception is necessary to make the building aesthetically pleasing and create a Key West style feel. The tower features break up the architectural facade and provide character to the building. C). Whether the height will severely reduce light and air in adjacent areas. The building layout is in an "H" format which provides windows and light into all portions of the building and creates courtyard areas that can be used for playground and gathering space, These building features will not reduce light or air for the subject site and adjacent areas, D). Whether the height exception will be a deterrent to the improvement or development of adjacent property in accord with existing regulations. The property to the south is undeveloped and in the process of changing the land use to Industrial and zoning to M-1. To the west is undeveloped and part of High Ridge Country Club. To the north is scattered single family homes and to the east is the right of way for High Ridge Road and single family homes and townhomes, The proposed building is centrally located within the site and thus the height exception will have no impact on the surrounding properties, E). Whether the height exception will adversely affect properly values in adjacent areas., We believe that the proposed Imagine Charter school project will enhance property values in the area by utilizing the R-2 zoning district development standards. Again, the height exception is only to make it more aesthetically pleasing, The height exception will not affect property values and will only increase the value of their property by having a school nearby, Imagine Charter School at Boynton Beach Height Exception Request - Justification Statement March 16, 2009 Page 2 F). Whether the height exception will adversely influence living conditions in the neighborhood. The proposed Imagine Charter school will enhance the living conditions in the neighborhood, Residents could have the opportunity to send their children to this school. The requested height exception is to accommodate a structural building requirement and will not adversely influence living conditions in the neighborhood. G). Whether the height exception will constitute a grant of special privilege to an individual owner as contrasted with the public welfare. other property owners have the same right to utilize this section of the code as the applicant for the Imagine Charter School. Each height exception request is reviewed and evaluated on its own merits. The requested height exception for Imagine Charter School will not grant a special privilege, H). Whether sufficient evidence has been presented to justify the need for a height exception. A site plan application and re-zoning application for the charter school has been submitted for review by City staff, Included in the site plan package are architectural elevations and floor plans illustrating the proposed building, including the architectural tower features that require the height exception. We believe that these features improve the overall look at the building and project and that the above standards are justified, EXHIBIT "D" Conditions of Approval Project name: Imagine Charter School File number: HTEX 09-001 Reference: I DEPARTMENTS I INCLUDE I REJECT I PUBLIC WORKS- Solid Waste Comments: None X PUBLIC WORKS - Forestry & Grounds Comments: None X PUBLIC WORKS- Traffic Comments: None X UTILITIES Comments: None X FIRE Comments: None X POLICE Comments: None X ENGINEERING DIVISION Comments: None X BUILDING DIVISION Comments: None X PARKS AND RECREATION Comments: None X FORESTER/ENVIRONMENTALIST Comments: None X Imagine Charter School HTEX 09-001 Conditions of Approval P 2 age I DEPARTMENTS I INCLUDE I REJECT I PLANNING AND ZONING Comments: None X ADDITIONAL PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT BOARD CONDITIONS Comments: None X ADDITIONAL CITY COMMISSION CONDITIONS Comments: To be determined, ~ S:\Planning\SHARED\WP\PROJECTS\Imagine Charter School\ HTEX\COA.doc Education Week: Graduation Rate Trends] 996-2006 Page I of I ~d\'f'I'k.HI'J.! 1 ~~lf h~:r M~lJ.'.llnt.

JU'1 16 2009616 pm I recently attended 3 workshops from the State Conference for the Florida Trust for Historic Preservation. As the greenest building is one that is already built, I attended two workshops on Historic Preservation using the LEEDS method, and one workshop about the Financial Incentives that are available for historic preservation efforts and what a city needs to do to access them. I learned that cities that have instituted a meaningful Historic Preservation Ordinance and are Certified Local Governments are able to access potential grants and tax credits. Delray Beach became a CLG in 1988, Jupiter, Lake Worth, Lake Park, WPB, and Palm Beach have been CLGs for years. If they all get why it is beneficial and important, why don't we? As the third largest city in Palm Beach County, I believe it is time for Boynton Beach to join them and step into the 21 st Century. I also request that the knock down funds of $625,000 be repurposed to stabilize the roof, and to seed the upcoming 501 c3 so we have money to chase the matching grants that are available. As a matter of fact, I have here tonight information about a matching grant that is available and may be used to help pay for stabilizing the roof, or even to prepare the ordinance and make preservation plans. In this package of information are 2 sample ordinances, one from the State Historic Preservation Office and the other is http://webmail.aol.com/43 5 24/ao lIen-us/maillPrintMessage. aspx 6/16/2009 tsarbara /{eady requests Historic Pre<;('r\;l!:fJP nrdinunct' Pagt' :2 at' 2 Palm Beach County's ordinance.

In its third year, the academy's mission is four-fold: teach children a healthy lifestyle and constructive hobby; guide them away from drugs and violence; engage youth _ tomorrow's boaters and anglers - in the fight to preserve Florida's natural resources and introduce them to the marine industries as a potential career path. At the core of the program is the Hooked On Fishing-Not on Drugs@ curriculum, a 20- session course created by the Future Fisherman's Foundation in the 1980s to develop a more aware, responsible, healthy and engaged generation of anglers, Kids third grade and up learn not just the basics of fishing - tying a hook, casting, using the right bait, fish biology, fishing safety- but are given a strong dose of life lessons like team-building, taking responsibility, learning self- confidence, standing up for yourself and building stronger, healthier personal relationships. Along the way, they are made more aware of the fragility of Florida's environment and their role in preserving it. The course includes several fishing trips, on the shore, the pier, the canal or on the ocean. All students are required to sign a pledge to remain drug-free, and parental participation is a must. To those who complete the HOFNOD course, the Florida Fishing Academy also offers a uniquely designed advanced course on building and painting custom fishing rods, intricate lure building, boat maintenance, junior angler tournaments and an introduction to the Coast Guard Auxiliary and other facets of the marine industry. The academy has operated with great success in the aftercare program at Poinciana Elementary School for three years, and has received $23,000 in grants from the City of Boynton Beach to offer the program through its Youth Violence Prevention Project. Over the past few months, we have partnered up with the DeVos-Blum Family YMCA, Boynton Beach Parks and Recreation and Palm Beach County Parks and Recreation to offer our classes to county schools and youth in and outside the city of Boynton Beach. We also are teaching the HOFNOD course to needy students at Title 1 schools like the Seagull Academy for Independent Living, a charter school for economically disadvantaged, intellectually and learning disabled children in Lake Worth. We currently have 320 students enrolled in our program and are about to start our summer camp program. We expect to have almost 500 children this summer. We have handed out almost 900 fishing rods to deserving children. But funding continues to be a challenge, and a number of opportunities - like partnering with the Department of Juvenile Justice and widening the net to first-time youthfUl offenders, a particularly needy population of youth - sit idle because of a lack of funds to make them happen. Still, we have had exciting new developments on the funding front: The city of Boynton Beach is about to give us a building in an opportunistically located city park in exchange for programming hours. We are also going to start a program for children in wheelchairs. We are very excited and grateful to have been given this opportunity, However, the building is old and needs some updating. We need around $15,000 to repair, stock and furnish the building with -needed equipment. This building wilt be a location for kids to build lures, rods and hang out. We will also have a rod and reel loaner program and offer free bait for our students. It will also serve as a gift Shop where we will sell bait, tackle, ice, snacks, t-shirts and other goods. Once running, the sales will help us finance future programs. With the help of the Samuel W. Klein Charitable Foundation, Michael and Kitty Dukakis, Chops Lobster Bar, City Fish Market, Tarpon Bend, Bonnie Dipacio, Publix and Paskoski Construction, we have raised almost $5,000 in cash already. Other sponsors include the South Florida Water Management District, DeVos-Blum Family YMCA, Florida Panthers, Florida Marlins, Youth Violence Prevention Project, Fish Florida Tag, Miami Dolphins, Tuppen's Marine, Go To Web Smith, Daiichi, Boca Tanning Club, Eleven, N.Y.P.D, Pizzeria, Susy Personal Trainer, I.G,F.A., Water Message Salon and our dedicated board of directors. That's where you come in. Join the team. Donate. and help us build a healthier future for today's youth and tomorrow's environment. The building needs to be resurfaced with stucco and a 6" band placed around the doors and horizontally around the building. It is 1000 square feet of surface area and 250' of banding. We will prep and clean the building prior to your arrival. We will also layout all of the banding. If you can help, please call me. . ...-.-::;:::> ~~...:i~_,,_ ~- r Captain Richard Brochu Florida Fishing cerny . sula Court e Worth, Florida 33467 561-740-7227 ~ich@floridafishingacademy .com Fishing academy aims to create ethical anglers -- South Florida Sun.Sentinel.com Page 1 of 1 sun -senti ne I. com/news/local/palm beach/sfl-boynton- fi sh in g - fair-p060709, 0,7525285 .story South Florida Sun-Sentinel.com Fishing academy aims to create ethical anglers By Maria Herrera South Florida Sun-Sentinel 4:55 PM EDT, June 6, 2009 Boynton Beach On Saturday, Ruiz attended the academy's Fishing Fair, a fundraising event that featured fishing, bounce houses and raffles. The fundraiser aimed to collect $5,000 to rehabilitate a building at Boat CJub Park in Boynton Beach where the academy hopes to conduct classes. Pablo Ruiz said he had caught "the biggest" fish of the day: a 3- foot catfish in a pond at Caloosa Park. "(love fishing," the IO-year-old said Saturday as he tied fresh bait to a circle hook. "They taught me in school. They taught me all about tying knots and releasing the fish." Ruiz is a student with the Florida Fishing Academy, a nonprofit that runs a program to teach children to be ethical anglers: Catch and release; use circle hooks; only take what you can eat; and care for the environment where the fish live. And though the funds came up a bit short, the dreams are big. "I'd like to see this program as an educational supplement in the school system," said Rich Brochu, who started the program as a part-time hobby three years ago but has made it his full-time job. "If children are going to take up fishing, we want to make sure they do it right." Brochu, whose wife Nicole Brochu is an editorial writer for the Sun Sentinel, said the program helps middle school-aged children appreciate nature and science. First-timer Katie DiViney, 4, had already learned some of the basic lessons Saturday. ") f it's a little fish you have to put it back because his body is too small and there's not enough to go around for everyone to eat," she said. "My favorite part is reeling them in."

"My friends and I go to our community lake in Lawrence Grove, and we fish and talk. My parents love tbat I am focused on learning, even if it is fishing." "Hooked on Fishing - Not on Drugs" is one of several prc:>grams Boynton Beach has started in the past year.as part of the Youth Violence Preven- tion ProjeCt. The project is headed by Vice Mayor Jose Rodriguezand~sspawned by gang activity, inclttding the December 20013 slaying of gang member BerM Char le- mond at the Boynton Beach Mall. "This program is ODe of many that we fund t:hrpugh the prevention program," Rodri- guezsaid~ "We feel that it is im- portant to teach these children about wnservatio1'1 and natu- ral resources. Fishing is one of those resources." The city kicked in $10,000 last year and approved another $5,000 for this year, Brochu said. He has received 400 fish- ingrods and $1 ,000 from ~ Ii- censeplate Fish Florida, and about $5,000 in d.onations since he started.he said. The children have learned how to fix fishing rods. how they ~nd naturally, how to build rods from scratch and custom,ize them, and how to hook fish. Brochu said. "We even bringin experts who Showthe kids how to han- dIe the fish and teach them what the regulations offismng are," BrochU said. "One of our c:1asRs is how to fUet fish, and this year we're actually going to have a fish fry." 1be program is certified by the FlQI'ida Fish and Gaming Comrnissiunand is taught in 13 states; accordingto :8rocbu.

Most of the students are of borderline lQ who experience difficulty in all general academic areas, although we do have some students who demonstrate much more severe cognitive deficits. At Seagull Academy, our goal is to provide a functional and practical education in reading, math, vocational and personal/social skills, with the hope that our students will graduate with the ability to live productive and independent lives. In December of 2008, I learned of the Florida Fishing Academy's Hooked on Fishing. Not on Drugs program. As most of my students reside in socio-economically depressed areas, I was extremely excited to learn of this program. I contacted Captain Bob Cawood, who was exceedingly helpful and enthusiastic and scheduled a date upon which the program could start. Soon after, I was disappointed to learn that this program was sponsored by the YMCA only as an after school program, which we did not have. Thereafter, the remarkable generosity and commitment of both Captains Cawood and Brochu became apparent. Although they were receiving no funding, from us or any other source, they faithfully visited our students each week for two hours. I was amazed to discover that most of our students were extremely interested in fishing! They were overjoyed when Captain Brochu presented each student with his/her own fishing pole and tackle box. Captain Cawood took them to Lake Osborne one afternoon to test out the new equipment, and at least one of our students caught his very first fish. Throughout the semester, both gentlemen displayed remarkable grace, compassion, patience, humor and ability in instructing our sometimes challenging student population. Students, as well as staff, at Seagull Academy have been truly blessed by the Florida Fishing Academy, and I would welcome the opportunity to answer any questions that you may have about our experience.

A Title I School November 21,2007 Dear Rich, I just wanted to thank you for all the time you have spent with Donnie. He only stays in aftercare so he can be part of your Monday fishing club. For at least an hour, Donnie talks about everything you covered during the meetings. I also wanted to let you know how wonderful it was that you took Donnie on his first fishing tournament and showed him how to fillet the fish he caught. Fishing can't be all fun and when you took the time to show Donnie some of what is involved in taking care of the boat after fishing I believe that has helped him appreciate you even more. Sincerely, Vickie Virzi 4622 Jill Place Lake Worth, FL 33463 561.306-9363 To whom it may concern: From: Heather Emerson, After School Director, Highland I am the after school director at Highland Elementary. This year we were very fortunate to receive a few grants that were used to have an array of different programs here on campus for our students. One program that we had was the Florida Fishing Academy. When I first told the students they weren't as excited as I thought they would be, especially a lot of the girls, but that all changed after our first class with Bob. My counselors told me that they had never seen the children so well behaved for a vendor. It only took a few minutes to get their attention and from that day on they would ask everyday if the "Fishing Guy" was coming to after school. One of the first times the students went fishing, was outside in back of our building. I though about what they were going to use as hooks. I remember walking outside with my Assistant Principal and a plastic fish flew right by me head. He teaches them with colorful plastic fish. By the end of the day they all were learning how to cast. The lessons that go along with the fishing are also wonderful and the students really pay attention to what he has to say. I would definitely recommend having the Florida Fishing Academy come out to any program. It is a great opportunity for everyone, especially for those who have never fished before. After this program, they could go home and teach their family and friends the art of fishing.

Our school is a math, science and technology magnet school. We- rely on innovative programs, community support and initiative to keep our classrooms full. When Mr. Brochu approached me with an idea for an aftercare fishing program, I became very excited. I immediately received the approval from the principle and assistant principle to move forward. Since then, Mr. Brochu has taken the initiative and created an innovative program that will work well in our school. I have no doubt that this program will be a success. Once this program is fully developed, I would not be surprised to see it added to our regular curriculum. If you have any questions, please contact me. .~......

C::'~" yacenter@aol.com Summer Fishing Class Hi Richard, As per our recent phone conversation, I am writing this letter to confirm the fact that the Youth Activity Center is very interested in setting up a schedule of classes to teach our children the fundamentals of fishing. OUT children's ages are 5 years through) 2 years old. Although, our summer camp is just now being set up, we anticipate about 70 children. OUT Center is a non-profit 50) ( c) 3 organization providing after-school, holiday and summer programs to the low-income families in our community. As I mentioned on the phone, we are just waiting to hear from our tennis instructors regarding the days and times for our summer, and then we can set up a fishing schedule. Thank you so much.

Rich Brochu 7067 Peninsula Court Lake Worth, FL 33467 Capt. Brochu: The Youth Empowerment Center requests The Florida Fishing Academy offer its Hooked On Fishing-Not-On Drugs program to the teens of the youth empowerment program in West Palm Beach, Florida. When the City of West Palm Beach began experiencing an escalation of youth gun violence in 2006, it partnered with the Palm Beach County Criminal Justice Commission and a host of public and private service providers to create a facility especially designed for teens aged 12 through 19. The youth empowerment program, part of the Youth Violence Prevention Project, is funded in part, by a grant from Palm Beach County Government. The YEC was developed through direct participation of inner-city youth, government officials and program service providers to keep teens off the streets and address their needed social, life skills, and educational development. Since the center opened in March 2007, more than 450 inner city teens have registered in the program. The Florida Academy's Hooked on Fishing-Not-On Drugs program will assist the YEC in reaching its targeted group - teens. Your program will teach teens the love for fishing, educate them of environmental conservation, and help to reinforce and support programs offered at the center; such as, Gang Resistance Education and Training - GREAT, Students Against Violence, LeBdership Development, Job Readiness, Tutoring, Computer Technology, and Audio Visual. The Northwood Youth Empowerment request The Florida Fishing Academy offer the Hooked On Fishing-Not-On Drugs program to the teens of the Youth Empowerment Center.

They learned a lifetime of knowledge regarding salt and even fresh water fishing running the gamut from .planning and preparation to go fishing" to the "cooking and eating of the day's catch." It was intense they said and they were dead-tired when they got home and but both had smiles on their 1aces. They even seem to get along better now! Thanks again and keep us in the loop for upcoming classes and events!
