A. Presentation of the South Florida Water Management District's Dry Season
2011: Proactive Measures Needed to Protect Water Resources. The
presentation will be made by Laura Corry, Intergovernmental Representative of
the Palm Beach County Service Center for the South Florida Water
Management District.
Laura Corry, Intergovernmental Representative of the Palm Beach County Service
Center for the South Florida Water Management District, thanked the Commission for
the opportunity to address the dry season. The strong La Nina influence from the Pacific
Ocean results in a drier than normal dry season. It is imperative that water conservation
ethics be developed to work together to preserve the water resources.

Meeting Minutes

Boynton Beach, FL
February 1, 2011
The Water District covers 16 counties with 7.5 million people living in the district, plus 30
million who visit annually. The District is mandated to protect the water resources,
encourage water conservation and plan for existing and future water use for residents,
agriculture and the environment. The past October has been the driest since 1932 and
the driest October, November and December on record. The potential for wild fires has
grown significantly. Most of the area is 30% below the predicted rainfall levels.
Teams have been formed to deal with water shortages and reporting on all water levels.
They can be fully activated if needed. Now is the time for water conservation. There is
a year-round landscape irrigation rule for water sprinkling three times a week which is
actually Phase I water restrictions. Further restrictions would only be imposed to
mitigate against salt water intrusion, loss of crops, or lack of water needed for fire
protection. Hopefully, working together, further restrictions can be avoided. The Water
Management District focuses more on commercial compliance, while the municipalities
more closely monitor residential compliance.
B. Announcing the Movies on the Ave film for February 4,2011
Kathy Biscuiti, Special Events Director, announced the second movie in the Movies on
the Ave series with the movie Inception showing on February 4th at the amphitheater
next to the Schoolhouse Museum. Chairs and blankets should be brought. Belinda
from "Tom's Ribs" would be catering for the month of February.
C. Announcing the Ocean Avenue Concert for February 18, 2011
On February 18th, in the same area as the Movie series, would be a concert featuring
Strictly Business, a local R&B band. Chairs and blankets should be brought and no
pets are allowed.
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)
Don Scantlan, 13 Cedar Circle, invited the public to an event by the Boynton Veterans
Council, honoring the Four Chaplains on February 6th at 2 p.m. at Temple Beth Kodesh,

Meeting Minutes
Regular City Commission
Boynton Beach, FL
February 1, 2011
Charles Gaulkin, 8 Colonial Club Drive, spoke on the budget survey and objected that
the survey is only open to residents whose principal residence is in Boynton Beach. As
a part-time resident and a taxpayer, the exclusion is not justified even though it is an
informal survey. It should be open to all taxpaying residents, not necessarily limited to a
principal residence. Mr. Bressner agreed a modification was needed and he would
have the wording corrected as soon as possible.
Ralph DeVita, Jr., representing Ralph & Rosie's Restaurant and Lounge, spoke on
behalf of his corporation with an appeal to the Commission regarding the foreclosure
action filed by the City. The business located at 207 S. Federal Highway had been
open for over 10 years. The Tiki hut onsite was commissioned by the Seminole Indians
in 2007 and they had been sited for a Code violation although Florida Statute exempts
the Seminole Indians from obtaining permits. A $500 a day fine had been assessed. It
has been ongoing for three years resulting in a foreclosure date of February 22nd to take
the land and business from the owners. Mr. DeVita appealed to the City Commission to
vacate the summary judgment, cancel the auction and rescind any and all Code
Enforcement fines imposed on Ralph & Rosie's until the issue is resolved There are
over 1,000 Tiki huts in Florida built by the Seminole Indians with only this one zoning
violation. A Code was enacted regulating Tiki huts five months after the one was built at
Ralph and Rosie's. Mr. DeVita asked the City to review the matter since he faced losing
his business, his property and ten years of mortgage payments.
Linda Rattingdon, 625 Casa Loma Boulevard, spoke on behalf of Ralph & Rosie's
property. She referred to a Palm Beach Post article that indicated the declining
commercial market accounted for a large portion of the drop in property values. Yet the
City of Boynton Beach was threatening to close a thriving business contributing to the
tax base. Many commercial property spaces are empty throughout the community.
Unemployment in the area is the highest in the State and yet the owners and
employees will have their livelihood taken away. Ms. Rattingdon suggested, as a
taxpayer, that the time, energy, effort and tax dollars spent on the issue would be better
spent to develop strategies and incentives to bring business in to the area rather than
drive businesses out. She asked the issue be revisited, revised or in some way
negotiated so the business can remain and the employees employed.
Stewart Kidney, resident of West Terrace Drive, Lake Worth, reviewed the documents
relating to the Code violations for Ralph & Rosie's. Mr. Kidney chronicled the violations
and noted the correct parking spaces are onsite and a fire lane is not required because
there is fire retardant on the Tiki hut. The number of seats in the restaurant supports
the current business as it is. A Florida Statute regulates Tiki huts and the City of
Boynton levied $600,000 of fines irrespective of the S.tatute. The hut has no electricity.
Mr. Kidney contended the City Code would not apply and the foreclosure is wrong.
Victor Norfus. 261 Palm Drive, brought light to the Heritage Celebration in the month of
February, Black History month. February 18th would be the annual "Night of Joy" at the

Meeting Minutes
Regular City Commission
Boynton Beach, FL
February 1, 2011
Ezell Hester Center, 1901 Seacrest Boulevard. The Heritage Celebration would be held
Saturday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. with various vendors and local entertainment at the Carolyn
Sims Center. There are events along Martin Luther King Boulevard that will need the
support of the CRA. Mr. Norfus reported special events were a task of the Community
Relations Board at the direction of the Commission. He highlighted the community
gardens and was proud of the project that would offset the expense of fresh vegetables
that was very healthy.
Michael Wymns, Colonial Club Drive, Building 12, was impressed with the new
boardwalk at Oceanfront Park. However, the bathrooms lacked cleanliness and should
be better taken care of inside and outside. He expressed his support of Ralph and
Rosie's who work hard to keep their property clean. Mr. DeVita sometimes feeds the
homeless in the mornings and recently sponsored support for a family who had lost a
loved one and needed funds. He contributes to the City and Mr. Wymns urged the
Commission to rescind the foreclosure action. His wife was of Indian descent and she
took offense to the action against the Indian tribes.
No one else coming forward, Mayor Rodriguez closed public audience.
5. ADMINISTRATIVE

removal from the Board. He asked that Ms. Richman be given special consideration.

6. CONSENT AGENDA
Matters in this section of the Agenda are proposed and recommended by the
City Manager for "Consent Agenda" approval of the action indicated in each
item, with all of the accompanying material to become a part of the Public
Record and subject to staff comments.
A. Approve the Minutes from the City Commission meeting held on January 18,
2011.
B. Award Bid for THE PURCHASE OF PANASONIC CF-52 SEMI RUGGEDIZED
LAPTOPS OR EQUAL BID #015-2110-11/JMA to OM OFFICE SUPPLY Inc. of
Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, for 31 laptops for a total expenditure of
$47,120.00 to be 100% purchased using the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice
Assistance Grant (JAG)
Commissioner Holzman had pulled this item for discussion. He asked if the grant was
restricted to certain departments within the Police Department or limited to use within
the Police Department or any other restrictions. Chief Immler responded the funds were
restricted by use to technology within the Police Department. It would be the best use
of the funds since the equipment has to be replaced.
Motion
Commissioner Holzman moved to approve. Commissioner Hay seconded the motion.
The motion passed.
C. PROPOSED RESOLUTION NO. R11-019 - Approve the Interlocal Agreement
with the Town of Hypoluxo for the provision of fire and rescue services.
Mayor Rodriguez pulled this item for discussion. He inquired if the agreement was a
renewal. Chief Bingham replied the agreement had been ongoing since 1990. The
previous seven-year agreement terminated on September 30, 2010 and this is a new
seven-year agreement. The pricing increases with a 4% multiplier each year as in the
previous agreement. The cost is tracked annually using the budget dollars versus the
calls in the area. Hypoluxo consumes 1.59% of the total call volume and they generate
1.66% of the total budget.
Commissioner Holzman inquired if the service limits the services within the City of
Boynton Beach. Chief Bingham explained with the call up patterns routinely used
6
Meeting Minutes
Regular City Commission
Boynton Beach, FL
February 1, 2011
throughout the day, the calls are handled without any impact at all. Mayor Rodriguez
did not understand why a decrease in calls, if the agreement was not approved, would
not decrease the need for staff. Chief Bingham replied 185 calls a year out of 11,592
calls is a very small percentage of the call volume limiting the impact. Commissioner
Holzman questioned why a surcharge was not utilized for Hypoluxo to use the fire
services. Chief Bingham did not know the answer. It is the same arrangement for all
three interlocal agreements since 1988. Mr. Bressner indicated if it would be a policy
direction from the Commission, the matter could be renegotiated. Since 1988, the
agreements have included the 4% cost escalator. The only other agency that provides
the same type of service would be Palm Beach County Fire Rescue. Delray does
provide services to Gulfstream. Chief Bingham added the County is based on a
Municipal Service Taxing Unit (MSTU) system. The same price is charged for fire
rescue service inside the municipalities as the County charges based on the cost of
providing the services. The rate is.4. Commissioner Holzman suggested if Hypoluxo
would pay more to use County services, then Boynton Beach should charge more. Mr.
Bressner would renegotiate if there was a new policy direction.
(Mayor Rodriguez left the dais at 8:03 p.m.)
Vice Mayor Ross agreed, but cautioned there was an element of goodwill that should be
considered also.
Commissioner Orlove did not see the need to renegotiate since their use of the services
was commensurate with the price being charged.
Motion
Commissioner Orlove moved to approve the Interlocal Agreement. Commissioner Hay
seconded the motion. The motion passed 3-1 (Commissioner Holzman dissenting).
D. PROPOSED RESOLUTION NO. R11-020 - Appoint a five (5) member charter
review committee.
Commissioner Orlove had pulled this item for discussion. He was in favor of
establishing the review committee, but wanted a timeline determined, scope of
responsibilities and a deadline for reporting to the Commission.
Motion
Commissioner Orlove moved to have staff come back with a suggested timeline and
scope of the review of the committee. Commissioner Hay seconded the motion. The
motion passed 3-1 (Commissioner Holzman dissenting).
(Mayor Rodriguez returned to the dais at 8:10 p.m.)

$141,236 for a total of $1 ,553,602 (Bid No. 004-2730-11/CJD).
Mayor Rodriguez requested the total cost of the project. Lori LaVerriere, Assistant City
Manager responded the total bid award is $1.142 million with a 10% contingency for a
total of $1.553 million. The budget for the project had been reduced last year. "Add
alternates" were established that could be added when money was available. The
master plan cost is approximately $10 million. Mayor Rodriguez clarified that the
Foundation would continue to do fundraising throughout all phases. Commissioner
Orlove indicated phases 2, 3 and 4 could be put on the CIP future budget also. It would
be a partnership with the Foundation and the City and the project could move forward
as the CIP allows.
Motion
Commissioner Holzman moved to approve Resolution R 11-022. Vice Mayor Ross
seconded the motion.
Commissioner Orlove questioned why West Construction was not certified as a woman-
owned business when all contract information indicates the President is a woman. Jody
Rivers, Parks Superintendent, was not sure what the County criteria was to be a
certified woman-owned business West Construction had been certified as a woman-
owned business, but was not currently certified as such.
Commissioner Orlove questioned if only one subcontractor was a local contractor. Ms.
Rivers advised subcontractors Country West Landscaping was out of Royal Palm, OW
Recreation Services was out of Lake Worth, REP Services was the playground

equipment, park furniture supplier throughout the City. East Coast Utilities is out of
Lake Worth and Bosco Electric is in Boynton Beach. Mayor Rodriguez pointed out the
contract requires specialized work and the qualified subcontractors may not be
available.
The motion passed.
B. PROPOSED RESOLUTION NO. R11-023 - Approve "piggyback" of the City of
Cape Coral contract (contract #: ITB-PW09-41/CH) with Shrieve Chemical
Company (Shrieve) with the same terms, conditions, specifications and pricing.
The contract period is from September 9, 2009 to September 8, 2012 with a
provision to extend for 2 years. This contract will be utilized for the provision of
sulfuric acid at an estimated annual expenditure of $230,000. The City of Cape
Coral complied with Public Contract Bid requirements equal to or exceeding
Boynton Beach's requirements.
Commissioner Orlove inquired if other alternatives were being pursued. Michael Low,
Deputy Director of Utilities, responded the City is under trial using an alternative
chemical. The sulfuric acid used has been decreased by 50%. It is something other
local utilities are attempting. The water source dictates the chemicals that can be used.
Some sulfuric acid will always have to be used but reducing the quantity and cost is the
ultimate goal.
Motion
Commissioner Orlove moved to approve Resolution No. R11-023. Commissioner
Holzman seconded the motion. The motion passed.
C. PROPOSED RESOLUTION NO. R11-024 - Approve extension of piggy-back of
MANATEE COUNTY RFP #07 -5835FL for ODOR & CORROSION CONTROL
SERVICES with an anticipated one-year expenditure of approximately
$200,000. The County contract complied with public contract bid requirements
equal to or those which exceed Boynton Beach's requirements.
Motion
Commissioner Orlove moved to approve R11-024. Commissioner Hay seconded the
motion. The motion passed.

10. CITY MANAGER'S REPORT
A. Receive a recommendation from the advisory committee regarding the
renaming of Jaycee Park.
Mr. Bressner reported the committee had met, reviewed the matter and recommended
leaving the name Jaycee Park.
Commissioner Holzman understood one group had written advising they were willing to
maintain the property and defray the cost of maintenance. He was concerned an
opportunity to lower the cost basis would be lost. The Recreation and Parks Department
would still be responsible to ensure certain standards were set and met for
maintenance. With the current budget deficit, perhaps Jaycee Park and many other
parks should be included in the Adopt-a-Park program. Wally Majors, Recreation and
Parks Director, advised five parks have already been adopted. He pointed out Jaycee
Park had been adopted by St. Joseph School and they provide in-kind services.
Commissioner Holzman disagreed with the recommendation of the committee and
favored the Rotary Club proposal.
Motion
Commissioner Holzman moved to authorize the renaming of the Park after the Rotary
Club and accept their offer of financial support to defray the cost of some operations at
the Park. Vice Mayor Ross seconded the motion.
Commissioner Hay had attended the Recreation and Parks Board meeting and there
was input from the community and the Board itself. Due to the historical value and
name of the Park, there was support to not rename it. He supported the committee's
recommendation.
Commissioner Orlove concurred with Commissioner Hay and had also attended the
committee meeting. There was significance to the historical nature of the name.
Mayor Rodriguez questioned how the committee could determine the monetary
justification was not sufficient to warrant renaming the park if the amount of monetary
gain or loss had not been determined. Ms Rivers offered the committee felt, regardless
of the monetary contribution, the historic name, Jaycee Park was the most deciding
factor for their recommendation.
Mr. Bressner added the letter from the Rotary indicates they would be willing to donate
their time and talent, planting flowers, trimming hedges. They were offering in-kind
services. Commissioner Holzman pointed out they also offered to submit a monetary
requirement to secure the project.
11
Meeting Minutes
Regular City Commission
Boynton Beach, FL
February 1, 2011
Vice Mayor Ross wanted clarification how renaming the park had become an issue. Mr.
Bressner responded it was the receipt of two letters and not the suggestion of any
advisory board. Commissioner Holzman disclosed he had been contacted by the
Rotary Club rand had relayed the information to the City Manager. Commissioner
Orlove disclosed he had also been contacted by letter, from the Rotary Club and had
passed it to the City Manager.
Mayor Rodriguez stressed a clear understanding of the monetary value should be
considered. Commissioner Orlove stressed the SandSifters had adopted Oceanfront
Park and they do a significant amount of work at the Park, but there is no indication of
renaming the Park. Their efforts save the City money in terms of cleanup. An offer of
money should not be a requirement for renaming a park. Adopting the park would be a
viable alternative. Ms. Rivers indicated signage would be placed at the Park showing
the park had been adopted. The committee consisted of members from various
advisory boards. Mr. Majors advised the process used followed the Ordinance.
Commissioner Holzman appreciated the historic value of the park's name. One of the
biggest issues in Boynton Beach is an inability for the City to interact and partner with
local organizations. Joining with the Rotary Club to monetarily assist the City would
demonstrate cooperation with local organizations. It would be a way to offset the budget
deficit.
Mayor Rodriguez agreed with Commissioner Holzman and indicated the monetary
contribution should have been considered. He suggested the City Manager determine
what monetary amount the Rotary Club had in mind and if they were interested in the
Adopt-a Park program.
Motion
Commissioner Holzman offered a substitute motion to that extent. Vice Mayor Ross
seconded the motion. The motion passed 4-1 (Commissioner Hay dissenting).
C. PROPOSED RESOLUTION NO. R11-025 - Approve a Voluntary Separation
Program for non-probationary, full-time City employees from April 1, 2011,
through May 31,2011.
Mr. Bressner reviewed the request and commented it was essentially the same as last
year, although it did not include the probationary employees. Attorney Cherof advised it
included all employees whether they are on probation or not on probation that are full-
time employees. Sharyn Goebelt, Director of Human Resources, corrected probationary
employees are excluded unless they were hired before April 1 ,2010. It includes all full-
time employees and non-probationary employees hired before April 1, 2010.
Probationary employees that have moved to a new position or been promoted are
included and can accept the program.

Meeting Minutes
Regular City Commission
Boynton Beach, FL
February 1, 2011
Mayor Rodriguez clarified the probation was not part of any disciplinary actions. Ms.
Goebelt explained probation was not part of the disciplinary policy. They would be on
probation if they were promoted, transferred or demoted. Mr. Bressner advised last
year's agreement generated a net savings of $250,000 with 14 employees participating.
Commissioner Holzman remembered two police officers had left that had to be rehired.
Mr. Bressner explained the positions were replaced with a lower rate position.
Commissioner Holzman wanted assurance that the program would not be rewarding
bad behavior of employees in some type of disciplinary status. Ms. Goebelt advised
there were no employees on any type of suspension.
Motion
Commissioner Orlove moved to approve Resolution R11-025. Commissioner Hay
seconded the motion. The motion passed.
D. Review and prioritize potential projects to be funded by unobligated EECBG
funds and authorize city staff to submit an amendment to the original grant
application for approval by the U.S. Department of Energy for the Commission
approved project(s).
Mr. Bressner reported there was grant money remaining that needed to be spent and
staff had submitted several projects for use of funds. There are six projects proposed.
Commissioner Orlove favored the upgrade for the Children's Schoolhouse Museum air
conditioner upgrade for $26,236 and the remaining funds go for the facility occupancy
sensor installation program or retrofitting some sort of solar panel system. The majority
of the projects require studies and he wanted the money put to use now. He suggested
another alternative would be at the West Water Treatment Plant and the use of the solar
panels to charge the backup batteries.
Mayor Rodriguez asked if a CIP project was set aside for the air conditioning system.
Jeff Livergood, Director of Public Works and Engineering, explained the equipment was
nearing the end of its useful life. The condensing units for the Museum are next to the
Old High School. The refrigeration lines are underneath the ground and leaking. The
money for the project was planned in the long range capital plan. The money could be
taken out of small scale project funds.
Commissioner Holzman favored the project relating to planting of canopy trees and
increasing the beauty of the City. Considering there is a forester on staff, he did not
understand why $60,000 should be spent for a survey. Ms. Rivers explained a tree
canopy survey would put a GIS location on each tree in the City, its type, its size,
potential age and tree canopy. It was not for a decision of where to put the trees, rather
it is a methodical approach. Mr. Sressner commented the forester is assigned to the
Development Department to do site plan reviews and technical assistance to Recreation
and Parks. Commissioner Holzman agreed to spend some of the monies to retrofit the
13

buildings and use some money for trees to beautify the City and lower the "heat island"
effect.
Vice Mayor Ross reminded the Commission that water conservation is critical and the
Palmetto Greenway east and west should be considered. Commissioner Hay agreed
with Vice Mayor Ross. He commented there is quite a problem with irrigation by the
Wilson Center and Palmetto Greenway after heavy rains. The water could be
reclaimed, improve the water quality, decrease the diversion of freshwater from the
wetland and other eco systems and reduction in the amount of ground water withdrawn
resulting in many benefits.
Mayor Rodriguez cautioned there is only $61,000 and choices have to be made. Mr.
Bressner pointed out a partial project would be to install occupancy sensors in high
traffic areas to reduce costs. Commissioners Orlove and Holzman's suggestions could
be partial projects also. Mayor Rodriguez suggested the money be used for projects
that have not had funds budgeted. He preferred the tree canopy survey that is City-
wide would be very beneficial and would enhance grant applications. Mr. Bressner
stressed the grant funds may not pick the project the Commission has selected. The
request was tor priorities to be submitted for the grant funding. It is not a recurring
process, rather the end of a funding source.
Motion
Commissioner Orlove moved to approve project 1 and move forward with project 7 to
look at other quick retrofits that could be taken with solar or other alternative energy
sources. He was not in favor of funding a survey. He preferred planting trees. Mr.
Bressner added the work had to be done to obtain any future grants. Commissioner
Hay seconded the motion. The motion passed 4-1 (Commissioner Holzman
dissenting) .
11. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
A. Review and discuss CRA rankings and appointment of seven member CRA
Board.
Commissioner Orlove contended it was time to move forward and make decisions. He
proposed going down the list submitted and the Commission determine who will sit on
the Board. He commented some Commission members had chosen not to rank certain
applicants because some candidates may not be the best. He agreed, but wanted to
move forward with the appointments and if seven could not be found among the
applicants, the Commission could appoint others.
Commissioner Holzman verified the intent was to include people who did not apply or
did not make the top ten and disregard everything previously done. Commissioner
14

Orlove concurred and pointed out some members of the Commission had disregarded
the entire process since the rankings were not completed.
Mayor Rodriguez stated for the record he did not rank any of the applicants because he
felt it was urmecessary. The procedure did not have an average ranking and each
candidate, regardless of the ranking, needs a motion and supporting three votes. The
motion process makes the ranking irrelevant. Mayor Rodriguez reiterated it was not the
right time to make a change and adding two members to the current Board would be
better with the idea of replacing the other five members in the future. He was also
disappointed with the ten interviewees because only four have come to CRA meetings
and Commission meetings. Mayor Rodriguez stressed the eRA has an Acting
Executive Director and the CRA has been in turmoil. There has been momentum in
some projects that should continue. It would be at risk with seven new members who
have not shown the effort or interest to participate.
Commissioner Hay emphasized the Commission was again attempting to stall the
appointment of an independent Board. He had been given the task of establishing a
methodology that had been presented and agreed upon that was now not acceptable.
The majority should rule and the rankings submitted used to appoint the board.
Commissioner Holzman understood, by Statute, there were term limits associated with
each seat. If the appointments move forward, would the term limits have to be
considered or what process would be utilized? Attorney Cherof replied the first step
would be the selection of the individuals and the agenda included a proposed ordinance
that assigns s'pecific terms to ensure a rotation of Board members in the future.
Motion
Commissioner Hay moved to appoint the seven-member board based on the input
received back to the committee and vote on them.
Mayor Rodriguez noted there were no averages. They were individual rankings. The
person ranked highest would be voted on first.
Vice Mayor Ross seconded the motion. The motion passed 3-2 (Mayor Rodriguez and
Commissioner Orlove dissenting).
Mayor Rodriguez asked the Acting Executive Director for her opimon on seating a
seven-member board.
Vivian Brooks, Acting Executive Director of the Community Redevelopment Agency,
stated her opinion had not changed from her previous statement. The creation of
turmoil due to the six-month ramp up that would be needed at the same time five critical
projects to the downtown would be ongoing. Timing is everything. Ms. Brooks had no
preference between the Commission as the board or an independent board. She was

concerned the Agency was at a critical juncture of getting projects off the ground with
the economy picking up. Some training would be needed. The small staff covering the
current work load would be taxed with a six-month training process.
The' Commission represents the citizens and handles the City budget that is
considerably larger. It made sense to her to maintain the status quo to create a period
of stability to be prepared when growth is possible. The wrangling has caused the
CRA's image to be tarnished and investors to shy away. Promoting the City was very
difficult. The Commission answers to the voters. To accomplish the pending projects, a
great deal of staff time and detail work is needed and training another board would be
extremely time consuming. More was being done with less and adding to the work load
could be counterproductive.
Mayor Rodriguez thought Ms. Brooks' position should be given value. He urged the
Commission to reconsider their positions and make the change transitionally and
organized with two new members. After there is stability and a determination who
would lead the Agency, transition to an independent board would be more efficient. He
suggested two members be added to the existing Commission and move on with
redeveloping the CRA district.
Commissioner Orlove reiterated he was attempting to design a hybrid board. He was
not in total agreement with all the candidates on the list. The majority of the new board
should be new people. Many of the candidates have been very involved and would be
good stewards of the board. He suggested members of the current board could
continue to sit on the new Board of the CRA to provide a less erratic transition.
Motion
Vice Mayor Ross moved to go beyond the ten listed.
Attorney Cherof advised the motion would be out of order. The Statute provides the five
Commission members can be the board or the five plus two other individuals or appoint
a board of separate individuals of no less than five or more than nine. The suggestion
that members of the Commission remain on the board is not an alternative available
under the Statute.
Mayor Rodriguez passed the gavel to Vice Mayor Ross
Motion
Mayor Rodriguez moved to add two members of this list to the current board and
subsequently, when stabilization has taken place, to remove the five Commissioners
and have volunteers. Commissioner Orlove seconded the motion for discussion.

Meeting Minutes
Regular City Commission
Boynton Beach, FL
February 1, 2011
Commissioner Orlove sought clarification from Attorney Cherof on the Statute. Attorney
Cherof reviewed the two provisions of the Statute that prevail. The first section is
163.357 that allows for the Commission as the Board or the Commission plus two
independent members. The other section allows for a board of five to nine individuals.
Commissioner Hay respected Ms. Brooks' opinion, but pointed out the Commission
would make the final decision. He felt a great deal of time had been wasted going
through the application and interview process if it was going to be disregarded at this
time. The current Commission and CRA Board had little or no experience in local
government before they became leaders and are doing a decent job. It is an insult to
assert that the City of Boynton Beach does not have individuals capable of serving on
the CRA Board. Appointing an independent board was a campaign promise of several
candidates and he intended to keep his promise. He would not support adding two
members to the current Board.
Vice Mayor Ross understood the frustration and had made a campaign promise to
appoint an independent board. She asked if seating five individuals would be a
possibility. Attorney Cherof responded the current ordinance required seven members.
A modified ordinance would have to be done before a lesser number could be
considered. The range is five to nine members.
John McGovern, 2620 Spiceberry Lane, was appalled by the lack of a true process. A
non-ranked candidate could be given a zero in a mean to calculate based on five.
Based on his view of the rankings, there would be three qualified individuals who could
be seated with a score above the mean of five. It would be indefensible to dip below a
mean of five given the mammoth nature of the task. Mayor Rodriguez responded the
procedure did not allow for averaging or weighing any of the scores.
Victor Norfus, 261 N. Palm Drive, emphasized this is the closest the Commission has
gotten to the opportunity to allow citizens to have serious input. The ten applicants
have spent their time in applying and interviewing and have been ranked, re-ranked and
non-ranked. A vote has to be taken regardless of the personal rankings. He urged the
Commission to appoint the members of the Board in whatever manner and get it done.
Brian Edwards, 629 NE 9th Avenue, totally agreed with Mr. Norfus and added there
was a twisted flavor coming out of the entire embarrassing process. If there are
reservations about any applicant, it should be made public as the rankings and
interviews have been public. Mr. Edwards had no doubt any of the applicants would be
qualified to sit on the board. The problem was an ego problem and who wants the glory
for the accomplishments in the City. The Commission acting as the CRA Board is the
first conflict. The turmoil has been since the Commission has been the eRA Board.
Selecting the Executive Director will also be a process with turmoil. He urged the
Commission to move forward with appointing the independent board.

Meeting Minutes
Regular City Commission
Boynton Beach, FL
February 1, 2011
Buck Buchanan, 807 Ocean Inlet Drive, was strongly in support of an independent
board. The proposed scoring suggested by Mr. McGovern was absurd in his opinion-
He asserted no ranking would get no score and it would be a simple matter of
averaging.
No one else coming forward, Vice Mayor Ross closed public audience.
Vice Mayor Ross had hoped the seven members could have been selected and they
would know they were fully supported by the Commission and City to keep the
momentum going. It is difficult to witness the changing tide. She thanked all the
applicants for their perseverance.
Commissioner Orlove stated he was in favor of an independent board from the
beginning. Based on the direction of the City Attorney there needs to be continuity.
There are no egos involved. It is about moving forward and he had received comments
indicating concern turning over an $8 million budget to people not in an elected office.
He agreed with the Mayor's motion to bring on two members and slowly the
Commission move out and have a new board move In. It would take small steps to take
big c;teps in the future.
The motion passed 4-1 (Commissioner Hay dissenting).
Commissioner Orlove wanted to move the process forward and select the two new
members. Attorney Cherof advised they could be selected, but the ordinance would
have to be changed and they would have to be appointed at the time the ordinance was
approved. Commissioner Holzman concurred with Commissioner Orlove.
Motion
Commissioner Orlove moved to appoint James Buchanan to the CRA Board.
Commissioner Holzman seconded the motion. The motion passed.
Motion
Commissioner Orlove moved to appoint Mark Karageorge to the CRA Board. Vice
Mayor Ross seconded the motion. The motion passed.
Attorney Cherof wanted It understood the appointments are contingent upon the
passage of the ordinance.
12. NEW BUSINESS
A Consideration of request by Lake Worth Christian School to hold 2nd annual
fundraising carnival on school campus - Applicant: Jim Adams for LWCS
18
Meeting Minutes
Regular City Commission
Boynton Beach, FL
February 1, 2011
Mr. Bressner explained this was the second request to have an event. Last year there
was concern regarding if the event would be successful and problem free. The event
was highly successful and there was only one issue with an outside contractor. Staff
supported the request. It has been decided the Commission would review these
requests on a case-by-case basis. The event would be similar to last year.
Motion
Vice Chair Ross moved to authorize Lake Worth Christian School to hold its second
annual fundraising carnival on the school campus. Commissioner Hay seconded the
motion. The motion passed.
B. Discussion regarding establishing a Special Events Advisory Board for the City
Mayor Rodriguez explained this had been originally raised at the CRA Board level. He
had brought it before the Commission because various events were being discussed
and there seemed to be a lack of focus or centralization of all events. Some events get
lost. It would be an opportunity to have all events planned out, discussed and budgeted
at one central location with parties interested in the events. It could be started this fiscal
year and budgeted for next fiscal year.
Mr. Bressner thought it would be helpful to have a planning resource for these types of
activities. It is a discretionary activity and an important part of the community. There
have been individual event committees in the past. It could coordinate some activities
the CRA has as well as events through Recreation and Parks.
Commissioner Orlove preferred an ad hoc committee made up of members of the
advisory boards already in existence such as Planning and Development, Education
and Youth, Recreation and Parks, Community Relations and Arts Commission. The
CRA has been more involved in the creation of special events. The hometown pie
contest was a small event and could be added onto other events. He did not want to
create another ordinance, rather get input from boards that already serve the
community.
Commissioner Holzman concurred with Commissioner Orlove and thought the talent
was available within the advisory boards and it would promote cohesion within the
boards. It could be a center for gathering information on events and see if the boards
could assist with special events.
Mayor Rodriguez saw the suggestion as having too many layers to be able to
accomplish anything. Vice Mayor Ross thought it could interject some life into the
existing advisory boards. Commissioner Hay thought there was merit to using the
leaders from the various boards, but it could be an opportunity to get more people in the
community involved and independent of the other boards. He totally supported the
creation of the Special Events committee or board.
19
Meeting Minutes
Regular City Commission
Boynton Beach, FL
February 1, 2011
Commissioner Orlove indicated it had been determined the Special Events Coordinator
could not be burdened with this responsibility. Ms. Brooks advised the Coordinator had
her full schedule set until after July 4th. Mayor Rodriguez eOnvisioned the events being
City-wide and the CRA would only be involved with events in the CRA district.
Commissioner Orlove perceived it as a group that generates ideas and discussion with
CRA and City staff bringing ideas for a signature event or smaller events. Mayor
Rodriguez argued a board would be continuous and searching for new and different
things to do and build on experience.
Motion
Commissioner Hay moved to establish a special events advisory board for the City of
Boynton Beach. Mayor Rodriguez passed the gavel and seconded the motion.
Victor Norfus, spoke on behalf of the Community Relations Board, that it was the
responsibility of the Community Relations Board to sponsor and participate in local
events within the City that promote harmony and communication between all residents,
such as the Holiday Parade, 4tl1 of July fireworks and Heritage Fest. The Board
participates on behalf of the City. They have also focused on working on events outside
of the CRA district. Direction from the Commission was needed how to focus all events
towards the goals of the City.
Commissioner Hay was concerned if the Community Relations Board was already doing
the task, another board would not be necessary. Mr. Norfus suggested the Community
Relations Board could assist in developing the Bpecial Events committee and their
tasks to achieve the goal.
Mayor Rodriguez felt the Community Relations Board was very different. The new
board would have members with special events experience and ability to create
excitement around the City.
Barbara Ready, 329 SW 13th Avenue, as Chair of the Arts Commission, indicated
events were rtiscussed and planned by them as well. She agreed the creation of a
special events board would create a synergy by using representatives from each of the
boards to bring a variety of ideas to the table. Mayor Rodriguez added the various
boards all have ideas and plans that should be focused and planned collectively to
create the most excitement in each and every event.
Commissioner Hay did raise the point there are existing boards that are difficult to fill.
Commissioners Holzman and Hay agreed the ad hoc committee would be the best
avenue.

Boynton Beach, FL
February 1. 2011
Don Scantlan, 13 Cedar Circle, suggested a hybrid approach with the Chair and Vice
Chair of the new committee not be members of any other boards and the other
members could sit on other advisory boards.
Substitute Motion
Commissioner Holzman offered a substitute motion to establish an ad hoc committee
for special events that includes one member from the Community Relations Board,
Recreation and Parks Board, Education and Youth Advisory Board, Arts Commission,
Planning and Development for the next year and reassess after the first year.
Commissioner Orlove seconded the motion. The motion passed 4-1 (Mayor Rodriguez
dissenting) .
13. LEGAL
A. PROPOSED ORDINANCE NO. 11-003 - FIRST READING - Approve revision
of Chapt~r 15-8 titled "Noise Control" (Exhibit "A")
Attorney Cherof read Proposed Ordinance No. 11-003 by title only on first reading.
Scott Blasie, Code Compliance Administrator, recalled the matter had been brought
before the Commission previously. The amendments had not changed. The plainly
audible standards still apply and are in effect all the time. The time of operation was
altered from 10 p.m. to 11 p.m. on weeknights. The weekend hours are 11 p.m. to 12
p.m. Normal conversation is 55 decibels and lawn mowers are 75 decibels. The
receiving land use dictates the distance for the plainly audible standards.
Commissioner Orlove addressed the enforcement, fines and warnings. Typically there
is a warning for first offense according to Mr. Blasie. It does apply to private residences
and rental facilities.
Mr. Blasie noted another change was to define the weekends as Friday and Saturday
rather than Saturday and Sunday. Commissioner Holzman suggested establishing
districts and managing each according to uses could be helpful. Allowing less stringent
regulations in some areas of the City could be beneficial to the restaurants, bars and
businesses to avoid hindering commercial properties. Attorney Cherof advised there
could be districts with different noise levels allowed because of the nature of the
businesses and rJemographics.
Although Mayor Rodriguez agreed with Commissioner Holzman in many respects he
did not think the City had grown to the extent districts would be necessary. It may be for
future consideration. The proposed changes should be sufficient.

B. PROPOSED ORDINANCE NO. 11-004 - FIRST READING - Approve an
Ordinance titled "Live Entertainment Permits"
Attorney Cherof read Proposed Ordinance No. 11-004 by title only on first reading.
Mr. Blasie mentioned the goal was to be as transparent as possible working with the
communities who have voiced concerns about loud noise and live entertainment.
Staff had been directed to revisit three issues. The fees were reduced from $1,000 to
$200. The second issue was to have staff review rather than Commission review on
applications. The third issue was comparative analysis with neighboring communities.
There was no evidence of any effort in neighboring municipalities. The ordinance was
not designed to address residential parties. The noise ordinance would apply to
residences. The Live Entertainment Permit would initially cost $200 and a $50 renewal
fee. The business owners agreed the cost was affordable. The goal was to manage
how the businesses operate up front and was very similar to Business Tax Receipts.
Vice Mayor Ross disclosed she had met with Mr. Blasie and representatives of many
restaurant owners from Renaissance Commons. Mayor Rodriguez felt the fees were
acceptable.

Commissioner Holzman moved to approve first reading of Ordinance 11-004. Vice
