Commissioner Holzman commended the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA)
staff for a spectacular July 4th event in spite of the rainy conditions.
Commissioner Hay thanked the CRA staff, especially Kathy Biscuiti for the July 4th
Salute to Independence. Commissioner Hay had also attended the recent League of
Cities luncheon and workshop. He would share the information garnered from the
workshop with the Commission and have the materials available for their review. He
had attended the Memorial Service at Bicentennial Park on June 25th, a very moving
experience. He noted Vice Mayor Ross spoke very well at the event. He inquired if
there was an update on the status of Joe Green, a Vietnam and Korean War veteran
who had a mishap at the event.
Chuck Magazine, Risk Manager and Veteran's Advisory Commission liaison, reported
Mr. Green had been admitted to the hospital for a short time and released the next day.
Commissioner Orlove thanked the CRA for the 4th of July celebration and had also
attended the Korean War and POW/MIA monument unveilings at Bicentennial Park. He
had attended the community forum held by the WXEL Community Advisory Board and
reported the consensus was the letters sent by the City to the Department of Education
and the proposed purchaser were very strong and appreciated.
Commissioner Orlove and Vice Mayor Ross had attended the Citizens Emergency
Response Team (CERT) graduation held through the Fire Department. There are 200
CERT volunteers and Commissioner Orlove urged other volunteers to enroll in the
program for training.
Vice Mayor Ross was honored to speak at the Korean War and POW/MIA monument
unveilings and ceremony. She encouraged everyone to visit the park and view all the
monuments. Vice Mayor Ross had also attended the Re-Think Haiti Symposium in
West Palm Beach. Many county and municipal officials were present.
Mayor Rodriguez noted he had just returned from a 14-day vacation in Spain. He
commended Kathy Biscuiti for all her hard work on the 4th of July celebration despite the
rain and challenges. He announced he had been requested by the American Cancer
Society to be the Honorary Chair for the Relay for Life, Boynton Beach 2011 and he
hoped to engage the community to support the cause.
Commissioner Hay suggested Veterans Park and Bicentennial Park should be switched
and the change should be added to the Future Agenda. Mr. Bressner advised the idea
should be brought before the Recreation and Parks Board for review. He recalled some
preliminary research had been completed. Commissioner Orlove advised he had
previously discussed the issue with Wally Majors, Director of Recreation and Parks and
Jody Rivers, Park Superintendent.

3. ANNOUNCEMENTS, COMMUNITY & SPECIAL EVENTS & PRESENTATIONS
A. Proclaim July as Park & Recreation Month and announce the Annual Family
Day Picnic, which will be held on Saturday, July 31, from 10 am - 7 pm at the
Carolyn Sims Center - Proclamation will be accepted by Wally Majors, Director
of Recreation and Parks.
Mayor Rodriguez read the Proclamation for Park & Recreation Month and presented it
to Mr. Majors, who thanked the Commission for their support. Mayor Rodriguez
contended the City of Boynton Beach had the best parks in Palm Beach County and
they were well maintained. He congratulated Mr. Majors and his staff for a job well
done. Mayor Rodriguez also commended the Recreation and Parks Board for their
contributions and recommendations.
B. Presentation by Tana Ebbole, CEO of Children's Services Council of Palm
Beach County
Ms. Ebbole thanked the Commission for supporting the Children's Services Council of
Palm Beach County. The last Legislative session was a challenging experience. She
presented to Mayor Rodriguez and the Commission a thank you certificate. She also
thanked the Police and Fire Departments for volunteering their personal time to
participate in the "Quality Counts" marketing initiative for child care. A public service
announcement was viewed that encouraged parents to select quality child care centers.
Mayor Rodriguez acknowledged Ms. Ebbole's participation with founding the Youth
Violence Prevention Board and her extensive knowledge of children and their needs.
Commissioner Orlove sought clarification that the Legislation upheld the referendum for
the Council's reinstatement by 2016. Ms. Ebbole agreed and added the Council would
have to be reauthorized every 12 years unless the ballot language changed. It was an
improvement.
4. 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)
Janelle Sloan, 14 Brentwood Drive, introduced her friend Bobby Susser and her
grandson, Adam Susser, a quadriplegic and blind young man, one of 19 million
neurologically impaired children. He and his twin brother Brandon have been involved
in the barrier free park since July 2004 with Bob Ensler. Ms. Sloan dedicated all her

Boynton Beach, FL
July 6,2010
work to Adam who loves going to parks, listening to music and being able to use the
park and a swing. The therapeutic recreational center would be ideal. She had
volunteered over 300 hours toward the barrier free park. Ms. Sloan thanked Adam's
parents, Gary and Judy Susser for bringing their child to the meeting so the entire family
could say thank you for supporting the barrier free park. The idea is to all work together
in true leadership and help make the dream come true.
Gary Susser, Adam's father, indicated he has been in business in Boynton Beach since
1992 and will do whatever is necessary to help get the park built. He thanked the
Commission and new foundation for all their efforts.
Victoria Castello, 406 S. Seacrest Boulevard, referred to an email she had sent to the
City Manager and copied the Commission. She contended Vice Mayor Ross had been
unduly compromised by a corporation seeking to buy WXEL radio that has Lisa Bright
as a member of its Board.
Ricky Suyono, 3122 North Oasis Drive, Parkside Square, was a Boynton Beach
Records Technician for 9 % years and has lived in Boynton for the past 16 years. He
noted the Community Service Officers and Records Technician positions were being
eliminated from the Police Department, many of which were taxpayers. The current
Records Technicians have combined experience of 76 years and it would not be
beneficial to the City to throw the experience away. They are responsible for the front
line elements of the Police Department and honored to be State accredited. At the front
desk, they are the image of the Police Department and the City. He inquired if it was
cost efficient to have sworn police officers replace the civilian positions rather than the
officers being on the road. It seemed unreasonable that the lowest paying positions
within the Department were being eliminated. He urged the Commission to consider
other options and help the Records Technicians save their jobs.
Mary Jane Hockicko, 245 South Boulevard, appreciated the task of the Commission
and City Manager to make decisions affecting the taxpayers and citizens of the City of
Boynton Beach. She requested the Commission attempt any innovative way possible to
avoid the layoffs. A suggestion box should be made available for all employees to offer
recommendations and ideas to cut costs and save jobs. Layoffs would create a trickle
down, negative effect within each Department and the remaining employees will have to
deal with dissatisfied customers. The Records Department is a viable source of support
for the Police Department. Many sworn personnel are concerned how the Department
can function without the Records Technicians, Class B, essential employees. Since
Dispatch had taken over some of the records functions, critical situations involving
officer safety and 911 call response may be compromised. Her request was the
Commission try to keep as many records technician as possible employed to continue
to accommodate officer and citizen requests.

Meeting Minutes

Boynton Beach, FL
July 6,2010
Audrey Thompson, 2650 NE 3rd Street, resident of Boynton Beach for 37 years and
Christine Augusta, 311 Boynton Bay Circle, resident of Boynton Beach for 36 years,
related an incident had occurred on June 11 between 1 a.m. and 2 a.m. at 130 Martin
Luther King Boulevard between Rosalyn Wade and Audrey Thompson. There was an
altercation and Clifford Bell, Rosalyn Wade's husband, struck Audrey Thompson above
her eye and her neck requiring hospital treatment. The Police advised charges could
not be filed and she did not understand why they could not press charges. Officer
Finney had written a report indicating Rosalyn Wade was the victim of Clifford Bell. The
police reports are inaccurate. Ms. Augusta requested an investigation be done because
Ms. Thompson had not received justice. Ms. Thompson and Ms. Augusta had
contacted the State Attorney General's office and Mr. Bell's Federal Probation Officer, in
addition to Channel 5 News to no avail.
Mayor Rodriguez requested the Commission be briefed on the incident. Mr. Bressner
agreed as long as it was not an ongoing criminal investigation. Commissioner Hay
inquired if Chief Immler had any insight into the allegations. Chief Immler could not
comment.
Brian Edwards, 629 NE 9th Avenue, agreed it was a spectacular fireworks display. He
was touched by the Susser family accolades for the barrier free park and the Record
Technicians lobbying for their jobs. There was an apparent abundance of teamwork and
civility among departments, staff and the citizens to accomplish great things. Yet there
was an inability to work with the CRA and its staff. He hoped the dissenters could step
back and allow the Commission to move forward with some progress.
Victor Norfus, 261 N. Palm Drive, spoke about the annual Family Day and the
Intergenerational Day and collaboration of events and activities on July 31st at the
Carolyn Sims Center from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Information on many areas of concern for
the citizens would be available. On another note he suggested the Commission
consider cutting projects rather than people and employees to balance the budget.
Herb Suss, 1711 Woodfern Drive, indicated if the responses he had requested in Public
Records Requests had been provided many of the actions taken would not have
happened. He reviewed the timeline of his requests and responses that were not yet
completed since June 7th Mr. Suss pointed out an Administrative Assistant now heads
the largest CRA staff in the State of Florida. An extensive search for a new CRA
Director did not occur when the previous agency was disbanded. Mr. Suss urged the
Commission to take back the City. He complimented the Commission for moving the
barrier free park ahead with the spirit of the City of Boynton Beach.
Ron Washum, 127 South Atlantic Drive, commended the Commission for bringing in
the new independent CRA. There was a great deal of citizen support for the new
Board. He echoed Mr. Edwards' concerns with the disagreements and contention.
Different opinions can be debated in open forums. Personal, negative and

embarrassing comments were counterproductive. He urged everyone to work together
and keep on track and continue making the citizens proud of the City of Boynton Beach.
No one else coming forward, Mayor Rodriguez closed the public audience.
Mayor Rodriguez commented that the suggestion box should be made available in the
lobby and there was consensus to reinstate the box in the lobby. Mr. Bressner agreed
and indicated the suggestions from last year would be presented for review also.
Mayor Rodriguez wanted to be sure that the entire Commission was aware of the
Intergenerational event because last year there was some confusion. Mr. Bressner
noted it was not a City sponsored event. It is a community effort. Mr. Majors advised
the Sims Center is the venue for the event, but the activities and content would be
driven by the local community committee.

July 6,2010
School Board of Palm Beach County for the expansion of the Poinciana
Elementary School Site
Commissioner Hay requested some background on why the issue arose. Mr. Bressner
recalled the issue originated in 1993 for the transfer of the parcels. A current review
revealed the transfer had not been officially completed. Mr. Livergood confirmed the
request was strictly housekeeping to clear up the paperwork.

motion passed.

Meeting Minutes
Regular City Commission
Boynton Beach, FL
July 6,2010
Commissioner Hay wanted to make sure all the deadlines would be met so monies
would not have to be returned.
Octavia Sherrod, Community Development Manager, reported their goal would be
exceeded. Mr. Bressner noted the schedule was aggressive and by August 31,2010
the CRA had to develop a site plan and infrastructure contract for the NSP funding. Ms.
Sherrod added at this time 75% of the funds or $2.2 million had been obligated. There
were seven contracts accepted and closed on six properties. Specifications for the
rehabilitation work have been obtained and the national norms for expenditures and
obligations have been met.
Commissioner Orlove inquired if there could be 100% encumbrance by the August
deadline. Ms. Sherrod thought it was possible. She was cautious not to be over zealous
and purchase too many properties.
Motion
Commissioner Hay moved to approve. Commissioner Orlove seconded the motion.
The motion passed.

Meeting Minutes
Regular City Commission
Boynton Beach, FL
July 6,2010
B. Review public comment card system for City Commission meetings.
Mr. Bressner emphasized the comparative analysis was the salient data. A critical
benefit to a card system was for the City Clerk's office and obtaining accurate names
and addresses of those who spoke at the meetings. He recommended that some type
of card system be instituted for a more orderly flow of information. He reviewed the
cards and process previously used by the Commission.
Attorney Bridgeman advised there was no legal requirement to allow the public to
participate. Under the Sunshine Law, the public must be allowed to attend, but there is
no statutory requirement to allow them to speak.
Commissioner Hay did not want to eliminate the public input. He recalled the card
system that had been used and was concerned that any rebuttal or additional remarks
to be made would not be allowed.
Commissioner Holzman opined the card system should be utilized and would make the
meetings more efficient and yet allow the citizens to be heard. The Mayor would have
the authority to allow others to speak and add input. Mayor Rodriguez did not know
how he could determine if additional remarks would be appropriate until they were
heard.
Commissioner Orlove agreed with Commissioner Hay and the public should have the
right to address the Commission on issues of interest to the person. It would be easier
if cards were available and perhaps color coded. He did not support a time constraint
for submitting a card to be recognized.
Commissioner Holzman did not want the card system to prolong the meeting. He
suggested the Mayor control the meeting and require the cards be completed before the
meeting begins and then at the Mayor's discretion others could be afforded the
opportunity to speak. Mayor Rodriguez agreed using the current system and adding the
cards would not create efficiencies.
Commissioner Orlove disagreed and contended Mayor Rodriguez had permitted
everyone to speak whether public audience or on items in the agenda. If the cards are
filled out during the meeting or after the individual speaks, it would not hinder the
process and the Clerk would have a record. If the cards were submitted in advance of
the meeting and grouped together so only one or two spoke and the rest acknowledged
agreement, it would move the meeting along. He stressed the public should have
access and the ability to comment at public meetings.
Commissioner Hay objected to the time limitation. Mr. Bressner advised there had been
a time cut off once the meeting commenced. He suggested the card system not be used
9

for the Public Hearings because they are noticed to the public. Commissioner Hay
retracted his support of the cards and suggested the meetings could be shorter if the
Commission curtailed their input.
Mr. Bressner proposed a bifurcated system would include a card system for public
audience and items on the printed agenda except for public hearings. Mayor Rodriguez
suggested the matter be revisited later and the efficiencies, if any, be determined.
Commissioner Orlove inquired if a card system would help or hinder the City Clerk's
responsibilities. Ms. Prainito advised it would help.
Motion
Commissioner Hay moved to table the matter to the first meeting in August.
Commissioner Orlove seconded the motion. The motion passed.

Motion
Commissioner Holzman moved to approve Resolution R10-088. Commissioner Hay
seconded the motion.
Mayor Rodriguez opened the issue for public comment.
Victoria Castello, 406 S. Seacrest Boulevard, reiterated her feelings that Vice Mayor
Ross was being unduly compromised and she should recuse herself from any decisions
involving the CRA.
No one else coming forward the public comment was closed.
The motion passed.

Industrial Development). FIRST READING was approved by City Commission
on June 15, 2010. Applicant: City-initiated.
Attorney Bridgeman read Proposed Ordinance No. 10-014 by title only on second
reading. Mr. Bressner noted the applicant was present for any questions.
Motion
Commissioner Holzman moved to approve Ordinance No. 10-014 on second reading.
Vice Mayor Ross seconded the motion.
Mayor Rodriguez opened the issue for public hearing. No one came forward.
Vote
City Clerk Prainito called the roll. The vote was 5-0.
B. PROPOSED ORDINANCE NO. 10-015 - FIRST READING - Approve the
revised Red Light Camera Ordinance
Mr. Bressner advised the statute had changed last year and there was an existing
agreement. This would be the first phase of adapting the Ordinance to the new
regulations. The new regulations changed the revenue sharing. The contract
amendment would be brought before the Commission for final approval. The matter
before the Commission is a policy decision on whether to have a red light camera
system.
Commissioner Orlove confirmed that money had been budgeted. The fiscal
ramifications were discussed. Mr. Bressner had estimated revenue of $600,000 in the
traffic safety fund to be used for programs, services, and activities to defray other
expenses not identified in the General Fund. The intersections would be Congress and
Gateway, Congress and Boynton Beach Boulevard, Congress and Woolbright, Golf
(23'd) and Federal and Woolbright and Federal. The purpose was to improve the traffic
safety at those locations.
Commissioner Hay inquired if the City had determined the placement of the cameras.
Mr. Bressner advised the vendor had recommended cameras at the off ramps from
Interstate 95. The intersections are all County or State roadways. The new statute
shares the revenues with the State and there is more cooperation on the placement of
cameras. Commissioner Hay recalled a discussion at the Florida League of Cities
meeting that the County could mandate cameras at their intersections within the City
limits. Mr. Bressner would review the statute further. Any revenues would impact the
2010/2011 budget.

Meeting Minutes
Regular City Commission
Boynton Beach, FL
July 6,2010
Commissioner Holzman wanted it on the record that it was not traffic safety, but pure
revenue for the City. He wanted everyone to understand it was not related to traffic
safety. He pointed out in West Palm Beach, in the first 70 days, rear-end collisions
doubled.
Vice Mayor Ross recalled the issue had been thoroughly discussed and the vendors
made presentations and there were mixed opinions. She felt there was a traffic safety
issue involved.
Commissioner Hay recalled when he had raised the same issue as Commissioner
Holzman had that, as time went on, the rear-end collisions would decrease in the long
run. There is a life-saving factor and lives have been saved. There is nothing wrong
with a double benefit from the cameras.
Motion
Commissioner Hay moved to approve on first reading. Vice Mayor Ross seconded the
motion.
Vote
City Clerk Prainito called the roll. The vote was 5-0.
C. PROPOSED RESOLUTION NO. R10-089 - Authorize 60-day extension of
"Notice of Intent" (NOI) and moratorium to allow for continued study of impacts
and regulations related to adult entertainment uses.
Mayor Rodriguez hoped the Commission would support extending the moratorium.
Motion
Commissioner Orlove moved to approve Proposed Resolution R10-089. Vice Mayor
Ross seconded the motion. The motion passed.
D. PROPOSED RESOLUTION NO. R10-090 - Authorize 60-day extension of
"Notice of Intent" (NOI) and moratorium to allow for continued study of impacts
and regulations related to pain clinics, pain management clinics and other uses
that dispense prescription pain medications
Motion
Vice Mayor Ross moved to approve Proposed Resolution No. R10-090. Commissioner
Orlove seconded the motion. The motion passed.

Mike Rumpf, Planning and Zoning Director, advised a draft of the Ordinance had been
compiled, but more information had been received from Broward County that merits
further review of what constitutes legitimate uses. There have not been any legal
actions filed.
14. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
A. Consider travel request for Vice Mayor Ross to attend the Florida League of
Cities Annual Conference in Hollywood, FL on August 19-21,2010.
B. Appoint Voting Delegate for Florida League of Cities Annual Conference,
August 19-21, 2010 in Hollywood, FL.
Mayor Rodriguez was interested in attending, but would withdraw. Vice Mayor Ross
was interested, but would defer to Commissioner Hay as Board member of the Palm
Beach County League of Cities.
Commissioner Hay understood from prior discussions that besides being on the Board,
he would be the voting delegate for the City. Mr. Bressner advised the voting
designation was for the State League of Cities.
Commissioner Holzman inquired if there were sufficient funds at this time of the fiscal
year. Mayor Rodriguez noted since the meeting was local there would only be
registration fees. The option of splitting the available monies between the participants
was discussed.
Commissioner Orlove suggested monies from the individual expense accounts could be
utilized. Commissioner Hay was going to commute to the conference and pay for this
own food. He was only requesting the registration fee. Vice Mayor Ross deferred to
Commissioner Hay.
Motion
Vice Mayor Ross moved to appoint Commissioner Hay as a representative to the State
Conference of the League of Cities in Hollywood, Florida. Commissioner Holzman
seconded the motion. The motion passed.
Motion
