Meeting Minutes
Regular City Commission
Boynton Beach, FL December 6, 2011
Wally Majors, Director of Recreation and Parks, was proud to announce the recognition
of a volunteer who had made significant contributions to the Sand Sifters that is a
valuable asset to the City, by cleaning the beaches. The outstanding volunteer has a
100% attendance record and clearly understands his responsibilities and leadership
role, showing initiative and a high degree of professionalism. He has volunteered for six
years and logged in over 100 hours. Mr. Gordon Myer cares deeply about the
environment and people with an innate understanding of the world around him. Mr.
Myer was awarded the Sand Sifters Volunteer of the Year Award presented by Mr.
Majors and Gary Solomon of Sand Sifters.
Mr. Myer was honored to receive the award and indicated the efforts were about the
organization with the support of the City of Boynton Beach and the Commission.
B. Allow presentation by 4KIDS of South Florida. Presentation will be made by
Thomas Lukasik, Executive Director of 4KIDS of South Florida, Inc.
Thomas Lukasik, Executive Director of 4KIDS, gave an overview that the organization
had been in existence since 1999, as a child welfare agency in Broward and Palm
Beach County. Foster care services and shelters were provided for kids and families.
Keeping siblings together was paramount. The focus was on a new program called
Safe Families for Children, a diversion and prevention program to keep kids out of foster
care. It is a faith -based organization to find families to provide a safety net to meet the
needs of children and the parents. The idea was to empower families to be self -
sufficient
The three main objectives are intervention, child abuse prevention and support and
stability to succeed. The cost of foster care is outrageous. The safe families do have
training provided by the State, but do not have to be licensed as the State of Florida
requires. The organization has over 120 foster care families. The same screening
process is done. There is a national movement and States and communities save
money and save children from the trauma of the foster care environment. The goal is to
return children to their homes and families.
Commissioner Ross developed the offices are in Boca Raton and involved different
churches, but stays primarily within the Protestant faith.
Mayor Rodriguez added the organization would be highlighted at the Mayor's 3rd Annual
Run/Walk.
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

Meeting Minutes

Boynton Beach, FL December 6, 2011
David Katz, 67 Midwood Lane, contended at the May 3rd Commission meeting the
Mayor wanted him removed from the Charter Review Committee because of political
reasons and an ongoing investigation involving Mr. Katz. Mr. Katz felt the Mayor should
resign and Commissioner Holzman should encourage the resignation because the
Mayor was being investigated by the State Attorney's office and probably the FBI in
relation to involvement with the Carmona family and the transfer of certain properties
and income.
Jeanne Havilin, 734 NE 9 Avenue, of Boynton Beach Sister Cities clarified on
Thursday there would be a delegation from Les Cayes, Haiti to sign the official
agreement to become Sister Cities. The ceremony would be at the Woman's Club at 5
p.m. and open to the public with a reception following. There would be a delegation
from Boynton Beach visiting Haiti possibly in February.
Edward Titman, 869 NW 8 Avenue, had read there were 14 candidates for the City
Manager's position. There had previously been a recommendation that the City
Manager have the minimum requirement of a Master's Degree in Public Administration,
plus five years experience. He hoped those qualifications would be well received by
the Commission.
No one else coming forward, Mayor Rodriguez closed Public Audience.

Commissioner Ross wanted Debbie Majors, Grants Coordinator, to highlight the grants
program, including the changes with the Sudowski Fund.
Ms. Majors reported 19 Federal, State and Local grants were closed, totalling over $2
million. There were grants to cover extra police patrols for the holidays and a case
manager for the Youth Empowerment Center. Over $5.5 million over the last few years
had been received from stimulus funding. The City is now introducing itself through the
branding promise and there would be opportunities for partnerships and collaboration
on grants for economic development.

Meeting Minutes
Regular City Commission
Boynton Beach, FL December 6, 2011
The Sudowski Act includes SHIP (State Housing Improvement Program) funding
relating to housing as a result of monies collected through document stamps paid on
real estate transactions. The fund has been capped at $243 million since 2007. The
repeal of the cap has now succeeded and as the housing market improves some
additional funding should come into the City.
Mayor Rodriguez questioned if the time spent on the grants reflected a good return on
investment for the monies received. Ms. Majors advised 12 people are on the grants
team representing the departments within the City. Most are support staff and act as
information resources for other departments actively pursuing applications. The
individuals directly involved with the grants have experience in these areas and are
more cost effective. Ms. LaVerriere stressed most members of the grant team did not
participate in the actual grant preparation.
Motion
Commissioner Ross moved to approve. Vice Mayor Holzman second the motion.
Vote

Meeting Minutes
Regular City Commission
Boynton Beach, FL December 6, 2011
Little League ball fields located on City property commonly known as Little
League Park
Vice Mayor Orlove had pulled the item to clarify if invoices would be presented to the
City for payment and if financial records were being provided according to the contract.
Mr. Livergood commented a summary of expenses for the previous quarter was
required before reimbursement would be made. Documentation of actual expenses
would be required rather than a budget. There is an option for other information to be
provided as needed and the termination clause involved only 30 days.
Mayor Rodriguez wanted the budget to compare against expenses. Vice Mayor Orlove
recalled, in general, non - profits were to submit their 990 IRS forms or some mechanism
to review their expenses. Ms. LaVerriere advised it had been handled on a case -by-
case basis. There were not many non - profits that were receiving funding due to budget
cuts. It was suggested the parameters be included in each agreement. Mayor
Rodriguez recalled there was discussion specific to the Boynton Beach Athletic
Association and receipt of information in a timely manner. It was suggested a City
policy relating to non - profits should be created considering IRS reporting
Jack McVey, 1729 Banyan Creek Court, President of the Boynton Beach Little League
and the Athletic Association, advised he had participated in the contract negotiations.
He agreed the budget and expenses were continually changing. Any reports requested
would be provided. He appreciated the support the City gave and commented the Little
League and Association were saving the City money.
Motion
Vice Mayor Orlove moved to approve. Commissioner Hay seconded the motion.
Vote
The motion passed unanimously.

A. Approve a site plan time extension for 18 months for the proposed Healing
Grounds project consisting of a holistic veterinary clinic (3,416 square feet) and
ancillary human massage and acupuncture spa services on 0.60 acre in the C-
2 Neighborhood Commercial zoning district Applicants: Bridget Keller, Agent
and Nancy Keller, Owner
Ed Breese, Principal Planner, explained the request by the applicant for a site plan time
extension. It had been approved for a holistic veterinary clinic at 220 and 226 East
Boynton Beach Boulevard. The construction prices were received by the applicant and
grossly over - priced at $300 a square foot, which was not cost effective. The project has
been value engineered and a general contractor consulted to assist in reducing the
cost. Staff recommended approval of the request and had determined the request was
justified.
Bridget Keller, 3181 NE 165 Street, advised she agreed with the conditions of approval.
Motion
Vice Mayor Orlove moved to approve. Commissioner Hay seconded the motion.
Commissioner Holzman inquired about the anticipated timeline. Ms. Keller did not know
the timeline due to the high bids received. An affordable solution was being sought.
Mayor Rodriguez opened the issue for public hearing. No one came forward.
Vote
The motion passed unanimously.
B. Approval of major site plan modification to construct a 2,166 square foot
addition to an existing 1,978 square foot office building for a total of 4,144
square feet on a 0.29 -acre parcel in the CBD zoning district.
Eric Johnson, Planner, indicated the request was reviewed and recommended for
approval by the Planning and Development Board. The plans are for an addition to an
existing office building at 508 East Boynton Beach Boulevard. There would be
compliance with all existing Codes and standards and concurrency and would be in
compliance upon completion. The parking requirements are met and the landscape
plans meet the purpose and intent of the alternate landscape plan provisions. The
project complies with all setbacks. There are 128 conditions of approval and staff
recommended approval.
The applicant agreed with all conditions of approval.
Commissioner Holzman clarified the new addition would only be used as office space.

Douglas B. MacDonald, Quantum Limited Partners.
Mr. Breese explained the request to accommodate a 94,000 square foot flooring
showroom business. The original DRI order approved a Master Plan that had been
amended on several occasions. The proposed modification was minor in nature and
the Treasure Coast had no objection to the non - substantive determination. The Florida
Department of Economic Opportunity also submitted a no objection letter to the change.
Staff agreed there would be no regional impacts and no local impacts with the request.
The traffic would not increase and the building thresholds would not be exceeded. Staff
recommended the requested change be considered non - substantial and be approved.
Eugene Gerlica, represented the applicant and advised they agreed with all the
conditions of approval.

appreciated. Vice Mayor Orlove noted 50 workers would be added to the community

Meeting Minutes
Regular City Commission
Boynton Beach, FL December 6, 2011
D. Notice of Intent 2011 -01. Following Public Hearing the City Commission by
majority vote shall either approve or disapprove the further processing of the
proposed regulation which is the subject of the Notice of Intent. NOI 2011 -01,
adopted by Resolution R11 -129 established a 180 study period regarding not -
for- profit entities in various commercial zoning districts and declared zoning in
progress regarding possible regulations following study.
Attorney Cherof advised the City initiated the process of adopting a Notice of Intent to
conduct a 180 -day study to determine the effect of not - for - profit entities engaging in
business in various zoning districts, mostly commercial in nature. The process has a
number of steps. The intent to declare the moratorium and begin zoning in progress
was the first step. Next, there had to be a public hearing for interested parties to speak
to the issue on the merits of proceeding with the moratorium and 180 -day study period.
Mayor Rodriguez opened the issue for public comment.
Donald Hearing, present on behalf of Christ Fellowship Church, asked the Commission
to not move forward with the moratorium for non - profits within the commercial zoning
districts The Church had a letter of intent with Dillards to purchase the store and were
actively negotiating the purchase to establish a significant facility within the City of
Boynton Beach. It would be a benefit to the City and bring value to the residents, plus
bring thousands of people to the mall every weekend.
The main campus of the Church is in Palm Beach Gardens and a campus in Royal
Palm Beach that resides in an old Target store location. Christ Fellowship was more
than willing to pay the missing ad valorem taxes that would have passed to the City of
Boynton Beach in whatever form that could be agreed upon. There would be both
tangible and intangible benefits to the City from having the Church in the community
and may reduce other services that the City has to provide at this time. There would be
new construction jobs and new customers to the mall.
They were not asking for the zoning to be changed and understood the need to
preserve the industrial districts. The City has a dominance of retail space. He
requested the moratorium not proceed and allow the Church to provide more
information and impact statements in a total economic package.
Mayor Rodriguez inquired about the economic impact of the moratorium. Ms. LaVerriere
replied all of the items proposed as benefits are part of the items to be included in the
180 -day study. All the items have been identified in an action plan that would be
reviewed.
Allen Sicklin, a lawyer, represented Christ Fellowship Church and noted the City's
motive for the study was good and in the best interest of the City of Boynton Beach.
The proposed moratorium has some unintended consequences. It would totally prevent
a church at the Dillard's site. Parking, traffic, noise, fire and safety are all items
16
Meeting Minutes
Regular City Commission
Boynton Beach, FL December 6, 2011
considered in any study. The fact a church does not pay taxes is not a reason to enact
a moratorium to prohibit the sale. There are other places of assembly in the same
shopping center that do exist and have the same characteristics.
There is the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUPA) enacted in
2000 to protect religious institutions from these types of activities. It provides remedies
individually through the Civil Rights section of the Department of Justice. Courts had
ruled that municipal interest in revenue generation, economic development or
eliminating congestion were not reasons to enact a moratorium and in effect prevent the
sale. Mr. Sicklin requested the Resolution not be approved and allow applications to be
filed while the Code is evaluated for necessary changes.
Brian Seymour, representing Dillards, understood the City's desire to study the
situation; however, the Church could not wait six months to go forward. There are some
legal issues that could be dealt with. Mr. Seymour suggested some of the retail
properties be carved out of the DRI zoning. They could be included in the study, but not
subject to the moratorium. It is a real opportunity for Dillards to sell the property
pursuant to the long -term vested rights. He urged the Commission to not deprive
Dillards of the opportunity to gain economic value on the property.
Commissioner Holzman inquired if the Commission is within its legal rights to approve
the moratorium. Attorney Cherof responded the process is a tested procedure under
case law. When any moratorium is announced or zoning in progress is announced,
new legal issues arise that property owners claim are unique.
Motion
Commissioner Holzman moved to approve the Notice of Intent and to authorize staff to
continue with its study. Commissioner Hay seconded the motion.
Mayor Rodriguez allowed for public comment and no one came forward.
Commissioner Ross inquired about the legality of the Church paying the ad valorem
taxes. Attorney Cherof was not unaware of the details of the offer and could not
comment. If it were timely received, it could be discussed and negotiated.
Commissioner Ross asked if the suggestion of carving out the retail properties was
valid. Attorney Cherof replied the Commission dictates the scope of the study and
types of zoning classifications or uses that would apply. The category of DRI could be
eliminated. Staff may feel the limitation would make the study ineffective.
Mike Rumpf, Director of Planning and Zoning, viewed the DRI as one more layer of
information that would be evaluated. Unlike Quantum that has extracted and added
uses within the Park, this parcel would be evaluated in Tight of the DRI and its impact on
the study.

Meeting Minutes
Regular City Commission
Boynton Beach, FL December 6, 2011
Attorney Cherof advised the commencement of the process at the last Commission
meeting would start the 180 -day process. Anyone or any entity could bring the study to
an end before the 180 days expired. He assumed staff and Legal would continue to talk
with the representatives from Dillards and the Christ Fellowship Church. Reports would
be made to determine if other alternatives should be investigated or ended. There may
be other non - profits that may be interested parties.
Vice Mayor Orlove disclosed he had met with members of the Church and Mr. Hearing
and Mr. Seymour who are registered lobbyist. Although he knew Mr. Seymour
personally, Attorney Cherof had advised Vice Mayor Orlove could discuss and decide
the issue Vice Mayor Orlove was torn and had previously been in favor of non - profits
in the community as they serve a purpose and have great benefit. He did have
concerns with a church in the middle of a shopping area, traffic, the effect of a sale of
the mall property and other possible sales. A study was needed. It was asserted the
City would be compensated for the lost taxable value as a result of the sale. The
Church was going to provide Vice Mayor Orlove with further information.
Amended Motion
Vice Mayor Orlove amended the motion to request tabling the moratorium until the
January meeting. Commissioner Ross seconded the motion. She disclosed she had
spoken to Mr. Hearing by phone.
Attorney Cherof advised the tabling would cloud the issue of the effect of what the
Commission did at its last meeting. It complicates the matter. He suggested the
information be obtained. Commissioner Holzman pointed out the Commission could
end the moratorium at any time. Attorney Cherof advised, procedurally, the
Commission could vote in favor of moving forward and would be on the prevailing side
of the motion; then, bring it back at any time to reconsider the vote.
Commissioner Ross agreed there was not enough information available at this time.
Mayor Rodriguez stressed the moratorium could go forward and the proposed project
be reviewed simultaneously. Commissioner Hay wanted assurance the impact of this
parcel be included in the study. Attorney Cherof remarked there were many variables
and options available to all the parties and the Commission.
Amended Motion
Vice Mayor Orlove removed his addendum to the motion, but amended the motion to
include that staff make the study of this property a priority and come back to this
Commission at the second meeting in January with information regarding it.
Commissioner Ross seconded the motion.
Ms. LaVerriere remarked the timeline was aggressive and difficult, but staff would do its
best.

Vice Mayor Orlove understood that both the Church and Dillards want to move forward
with the sale and respected those positions, as did Commissioner Ross. Speaking to
the Chamber of Commerce and Business Development Board was another aspect for
consideration. All parties needed time to complete their own due diligence. Mayor
Rodriguez contended all parties were concerned because there was insufficient
information that moving forward with the study would provide.
It was agreed by all parties that the information be provided at the first meeting in
February and the possibility of a sale would continue to be viable in the interim.
Mayor Rodriguez reiterated the motion was to approve the moratorium with an update
on the status at the first meeting in February
Amended Motion
Vice Mayor Orlove moved with the Notice of Intent, Resolution R11 -129 to approve the
moratorium with and update regarding the particular situation at the Boynton Beach
Mall, at the first meeting in February. Commissioners Ross and Holzman seconded the
motion.
Vote
The motion passed unanimously.
10. CITY MANAGER'S REPORT
A. Discuss request for financial assistance from Colonial Club Condo Association
- as it relates to the 2006 Emergency Generator and /or Ice Machine (EGIM)
Program -per request of Commissioner Holzman.
Ms. LaVerriere explained the request was for $1,250 to make repairs to an ice machine
at the Colonial Club Condo Association. The initial grant was done in 2006 to provide a
match to purchase emergency generators and ice machines to be more self - sustainable
in an emergency situation. Twelve grants of $5,000 each were awarded. The
association or organizations were responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the
pieces of equipment. The item was on the agenda at the request of Commissioner
Holzman. Staff's response was there were no budgeted funds.
Commissioner Holzman questioned if the designation of the Colonial Club as an
emergency distribution facility would continue. Carisse LeJeune, Interim Assistant City
Manager, indicated if the ice was needed, the City would expect the organizations that
had received the equipment to provide to their neighborhoods and outside their gates.
There was never any intent to continually upgrade or service the equipment received

through the grant. The Hester Center is the designated distribution center through the
County.
Mayor Rodriguez opened the matter for public comment.
Jeffrey Fisher, 17 Colonial Club Drive, Unit 203, clarified he was not on the Board of
Directors for the Executive Board. He was interested for the safety of the community
through the COP program and CERT program and the viability of the equipment. The
equipment was working perfectly. The concern was lightning had struck the building on
several occasions and protection on the building was needed to maintain the switch
over for the generator. Any amount of contribution would be appreciated.
Commissioner Holzman offered $400 would be an equitable amount. It was admirable
the community was ensuring they would be ready for service if needed. Ms. LaVerriere
noted no monies were budgeted.
Vice Mayor Orlove noted there were eight installed in District 1 and if the money is given
to one it should be given to all. He did not feel it would be appropriate to give to only
one association. Commissioner Hay agreed there needed to be fairness and the money
was not available. When originally done it was well known it was a one -year
reimbursement grant. The program does not exist any more. The award letter clearly
stated the City would not provide the maintenance of the emergency generators.
Commissioner Ross did not feel Pandora's box should be opened.
Motion
Commissioner Holzman moved to support the Colonial Club with $400 for their surge
protection system to protect the generator /ice equipment for emergency management.
Vote
The motion died for lack of a second.
(Vice Mayor Orlove left the dais.)
Mayor Rodriguez requested an update on all the generators under the grant program.
Ms. LeJeune replied she intended to revisit the homeowner associations and faith -
based organizations to learn the status of the equipment Hopefully the Emergency
Management Division would write the project into the Comprehensive Emergency
Management Plan. There is a continuity of operations plan to keep government
operations running. The City does not have a comprehensive emergency management
plan. There are hurricane plans for the individual departments and divisions in the City.

11. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
A. PROPOSED RESOLUTION NO. R11 -137 - Terminate existing lease with
Boynton Beach Child Care Center, Inc. and approve new lease with Palm
Beach County for operation of Head Start Program at 909 NE 3rd Street
Ms. LaVerriere reported the County had requested to enter into a direct lease for the
operation of the Head Start program at the facility located at 901 SW 9 Street. The
non - profit organization, Boynton Child Care Inc. has also been operating in the building
for many years. With new licensing requirements by the State as it relates to having
site control, the two programs cannot exist at the same location. Currently the City
leases to the Child Care Center and they sub -lease to the County. The lack of site
control jeopardizes the licenses for the Head Start program in the City of Boynton
Beach. Ms. LaVerriere suggested the Boynton Child Care Center be relocated.
Channel Wilkins, Director of Community Services for Palm Beach County, agreed with
Ms. LaVerriere's representation of the concerns that are detrimental to the continuation
of the program. Commissioner Hay felt the issue was one of licensing. Vice Mayor
Orlove inquired the number of children being served by the Head Start Program and Mr.
Wilkins replied 84 students, but it varied on a daily basis. The issues involve licensing
and safety of the children and staff. Mr. Wilkins agreed there were many accountability
issues, access by everyone who has keys, County property, equipment and supplies
that are not secured. The common space is not clearly delineated. The goal was to
improve the program throughout the County and other sites were being considered.
The facility was child care ready and was a good strong structure. Vice Mayor Orlove
developed there was the potential for the Head Start program to leave the City if an
agreement could not be reached and Mr. Wilkins agreed.
Commissioner Ross noted there had been ongoing issues for the past two years with
lack of cooperation or sharing of information. Mr. Wilkins explained in April there were
organizational changes within the Boynton Child Care Center and there was no longer a
County employee in the organization that offered some accountability. Meetings and
correspondence have not resulted in adequate responses to the issues and concerns or
ways to operate jointly within the facility.
Commissioner Hay inquired if all the individuals having access to the building had
undergone a background investigation. Mr. Wilkins was unsure and the practice was
the background investigation had to be on file with the County. There was concern
related to doors and access, especially during the day when the children are present.
Mayor Rodriguez opened the issue for public comment.
Wade King, 235 NW 10 Avenue, Board member of Boynton Beach Child Care Inc.,
indicated it was created in 1965 and was the founder of the Head Start program in the
21
Meeting Minutes
Regular City Commission
Boynton Beach, FL December 6, 2011
City. Mr. King was unaware that there was an issue of non - compliance. Mr. Wilkins
had met with the Boynton Beach Child Care Center representatives only once. Mr. King
was an advocate for children and reported they have two employees. One facilitates
the needs of the children in the aspects of mathematics, language and kinetic tactics in
an after school program. Boynton Beach Child Care Inc. pays the salaries. They work
with the children from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Both employees have had security checks done
twice and the information passed on to Mr. Wilkins.
Mayor Rodriguez asked for data on the number of children receiving the after -care
assistance and Mr. King was unable to provide a definitive number. Mr. King countered
there had been a study done that indicated a community program is needed to facilitate
the children for the Head Start programs being transferred from the supervision of the
Head Start program to the Boynton Beach Child Care supervision.
Commissioner Holzman reiterated the fact Mr. King was the Director of the Child Care
Center, but was unaware of the number of children being helped on a daily basis. The
most important aspect was to have the Head Start program stay within the City of
Boynton Beach. Mr. King advised the Boynton Child Center could not operate at
another facility. The kids would have to be transported to an alternative location.
Commissioner Holzman emphasized if the Head Start Program leaves Boynton Beach,
the Boynton Child Care Center would no longer be viable either.
Commissioner Hay stressed the Commission was attempting to assist the programs. He
inquired who was on the Boynton Child Care Center Board and Mr. King advised it was
Dan White, Queenie Ford and himself. Mr King advised he went to the facility perhaps
once a week. The two employees had not been working until the issues were resolved.
There was coordination between the Head Start employees and Boynton Child Care
employees to rotate the kids for training between 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Commissioner Hay
suggested the matter be tabled until some alternative solution could be found so the two
groups could exist and the children benefit from both programs. It was currently not
working.
Commissioner Ross agreed it was very important that the City not lose the Head Start
program and was the priority. She inquired about Mr. King's qualifications. Mr. King
replied he had a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration and was certified in the
area of Math, K through 9. He had 15 years of education experience within the public
system of Palm Beach County. He originally worked with high -risk children and had
established several alternative education programs within the Palm Beach County
School system. Mr. King denied receiving any written communication from Mr. Wilkins
advising him of any deficiencies or non - compliance.
Vice Mayor Orlove disclosed he had spoken with Mr. King on a previous occasion
regarding the issue. He also recalled previous discussion by the Commission in 2010.

Meeting Minutes
Regular City Commission
Boynton Beach, FL December 6, 2011
Commissioner Holzman moved to approve Resolution R11 -137. Commissioner Hay
seconded the motion.
Mayor Rodriguez opened the issue for public comment.
Mr. Wilkins advised Head Start was responsible for the children from the time the
children arrive until their parents pick them up. The obligation is not released to any
other group or authority.
Victor Norfus, 261 North Palm Drive, was aware of the services provided by Boynton
Child Care Center to the Head Start children. He contended the Head Start program
did miss some high -risk children to offer additional assistance with Math and other
subjects. The students were always under the Head Start umbrella.
No one else coming forward, Mayor Rodriguez closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Hay approved the Resolution but wanted further exploration for a
solution to the issue and continuing Boynton Child Care Center. He suggested the
motion be modified to have Ms. LaVerriere investigate other alternatives.
Motion
Commissioner Hay amended the motion to include staff working with the Boynton
Beach Child Care Center to relocate.
Vote
The motion died for lack of a second.
Commissioner Holzman offered the Interim City Manager had already addressed
alternatives and potential locations. Ms. LaVerriere had met with Mr. King and Mr.
White and there was no interest in considering the option of relocation.
Vote
The motion passed unanimously.
Attorney Cherof clarified the Resolution R11 -137 authorized a new lease with Palm
Beach County and would terminate the existing lease.

The motion passed unanimously.
B. Consider proposal to lease a portion of the Public Works Compound for
construction of a billboard.
Commissioner Ross disclosed she had spoken to Mr. Sachs several weeks ago.
Peter Sachs and Andre Park with Sachs, Sax Caplan law firm, represented Wilton
Manors Street Systems and had submitted a proposal to lease a small portion of City -
owned land to erect a billboard. The property is used for storage of equipment. The
proposal was to pay a significant amount of money over thirty years to the City. Three
different types of billboards could be constructed at the site. The most advantageous
would be a two -faced digital billboard resulting in $2.5 million of revenue to the City over
30 years. Other options would be a billboard that one side is digital and other side
would be stationary that would produce $1.734 million revenue over 30 years or a two
side stationary billboard that would generate $1.177 million over 30 years. The
stationary billboards could be converted to digital in the future. There would be a
public /private partnership.
(Vice Mayor Orlove returned to the dais.)
Motion
Commissioner Holzman moved to approve what is considered Plan C, to allow the
construction of one single pole outdoor advertising structure on City -owned property
with two stationary advertising faces. Mayor Rodriguez passed the gavel to Vice Mayor
Orlove and seconded the motion.
Commissioner Hay inquired if the digital billboards were problematic. Attorney Cherof
advised there was a law suit pending with Clear Channel that wanted to convert an
existing old- fashion sign to a digital sign on the west side of 1 -95 and north of Gateway
Boulevard. The case has not been settled.
Commissioner Ross understood the issue was before the Commission for discussion
only. It is premature at this time, especially based on the proposed revenue stream.
24
Meeting Minutes
Regular City Commission
Boynton Beach, FL December 6, 2011
Mr. Sachs mentioned it was a two -part approval process. First the City has to issue a
permit and then the Florida Department of Transportation goes through a process to
approve the project no matter which option is selected. Mr. Sachs noted his client was
willing to convert the lease in the future to a higher revenue source for the City. The
advantages for the City are that the City can post emergency announcements and non -
emergency announcements. He urged the City to move forward and negotiate a lease
at any level the City is comfortable with and include an option for the City to allow
conversion to a more modern billboard. The State has standards on the level of lighting
and the frequency of change.
Vice Mayor Orlove disclosed he had met with Mr. Sachs and his client. He favored the
digital billboard to give the City the potential to let the community know about events
within the City.
Mayor Rodriguez understood the City could enter into the lease and in the future
upgrade to the digital format so revenue would not be lost while waiting for digital to be
available Attorney Cherof agreed with Mayor Rodriguez's assumption.
Amended Motion
Mayor Rodriguez moved to amend the motion to go with Plan C while the lease is being
negotiated and before it is signed, there is an option for an upgrade once Legal advises
it is okay. Commissioners Hay and Ross seconded the motion.
Vice Mayor Orlove opened the issue for public comment.
(Commissioner Holzman left the dais.)
Jerry Taylor, 1086 SW 26 Avenue, informed the Commission the City had previously
worked diligently and strongly to eliminate all billboards in the community with the
exception of two.
No one else came forward.
Mayor Rodriguez inquired if a plan or ordinance had been passed that the City would
proceed to eliminate billboards. Attorney Cherof advised billboards were not permitted
in Boynton Beach. There are a limited number that were grandfathered or approved in
advance through a court settlement many years ago. The intent was to eliminate all
billboards because they were a visual blight. The number of permissible billboards is
limited. The applicant has an interest in the two that have yet to be built as addressed
in the previous court settlement. No more will be allowed after those two are built.
Vote
The motion passed 4 -0 with Commissioner Holzman absent.

12. NEW BUSINESS
A. Review Management Agreement with Schoolhouse Children's Museum and
Learning Center regarding City appointments to the Museum Board of Directors
Ms. LaVerriere explained Commissioner Holzman had brought the matter to address
the City's two appointments to the Board of Directors as outlined in the management
agreement with the Children's Schoolhouse Museum. There are two appointments
being the City Manager or his /her designee and the Library Director.
(Commissioner Holzman returned the dais.)
(Mayor Rodriguez left the dais.)
Commissioner Holzman's concern was the Commission is dealing with non - profits
throughout the City and the Museum receives significant monies from the City so there
should be some oversight. One appointment could be responsible for the oversight and
the other could be any individual or rotated throughout the Commission. The City
Manager or Interim City Manager cannot fundraise. Ms. LaVerriere understood the
appointment was to provide operational oversight and the Library Director reviewed the
budgetary concerns since the funding is through the Library budget. There are many
members of the Board who can do fundraising.
(Mayor Rodriguez returned to the dais.)
Commissioner Hay did not see an issue with the current arrangement. Who sits on the
Board carries a degree of leverage in soliciting funds. He questioned if rotating the
Commissioners to serve on the Board would be a conflict of interest since the
Commission approves the budget through the Library. Attorney Cherof did feel it would
rise to a conflict. Ms. LaVerriere cautioned an annual rotation of the appointment might
be a problem in terms of stability and continuity.
Mayor Rodriguez was concerned with the draw on the time of the Interim City Manager.
Ms. LaVerriere said she uses more personal time than work time in her involvement
with the Board. There is one board meeting a month. Both Ms. LaVerriere and the
Library Director assist from an operational standpoint.
Commissioner Ross commented the Board appears to be strong. It makes sense that
they bring value to the Board that can be leveraged while the rest of the Board can
focus on fundraising.
Amy Heaver, Executive Director of the Museum, remarked having both the City
Manager and Library Director on the board had been advantageous and further the new
brand position in the South Florida area. Six new board members had recently been
26

added. Commissioner Holzman hoped if a problem arose and another member that
could assist with fundraising was needed, Ms. Heaver would come to the Commission.
13. LEGAL
A PROPOSED ORDINANCE NO. 11 -030 - SECOND READING - PUBLIC
HEARING - Request to consider amendment to City Code regarding temporary
banners to allow "feather" banners
Attorney Cherof read Proposed Ordinance No. 11 -030 by title only, on second reading.
Motion
Commissioner Hay moved to approve. Vice Mayor Orlove seconded the motion.
Mayor Rodriguez opened the issue for public hearing.
Lynn Carrier of Marathon Music, appreciated the Board's consideration of the matter
and decision to have a trial period with the feather flags. She did feel there would be a
prevalence of banners and flags. It is a viable way to attract business in a difficult
economy. It should have a positive impact.
Vice Mayor Orlove confirmed the only change between first and second reading was the
six -month trial period. Mr. Rumpf did want to tweak the language prohibiting the
banners on sidewalks with something that allows the banners but does not impede
pedestrian flow. They could not be placed in the roadway. Mayor Rodriguez could not
support putting the banners on sidewalks. Vice Mayor Orlove surmised it would create
a hazard. Mayor Rodriguez and Vice Mayor Orlove stressed the six -month study period
could be used to address any new issues.

The City Clerk called the roll. The vote was 4 -1 (Commissioner Holzman dissenting).

Lots 73A, 73B, 74, 75 and 76 as shown on the Master Site Development
Plan.
Currently, lot 73A, lot 73B, lot 74 and lot 75 have a DRI land use
designation of Office/Industrial (O/I). Lot 76 has a DRI land use designation
of Office/Industrial/Commercial (0/I/C). Duke proposes to amend the
Quantum Corporate Park DRI to re- designate Lot 75 from Office/Industrial
to Office/Industrial/Commercial, consistent with the designation of Lot 76 in
the parcel. This change would enable the owner to initially lease
approximately 94,000 square feet of the vacant 198,114 square feet of an
existing building.
This request will not in any way increase the intensity of the development or
the external traffic impacts. Based on our review of 380.06(19) and the
attached Justification Statement the above request is of a nature, impact and
character whereby it is not a substantial deviation and does not require the
filing of a "notice of proposed change." The applicant, Quantum Limited

Justification Statement
Quantum Corporate Park - DRI
We contend this proposed change to the Mater Site Development Plan is of a minor
nature. The amendment is being pursued to facilitate a 94,000 sq. ft. flooring retailer to
occupy space in an existing and vacant office/warehouse building. The Master Site
Development Plan modification is being processed as such by the City of Boynton Beach,
pursuant to the City's ordinances. We also contend this proposed change meets the intent
of statute 380.06(19Xe)2.k, whereby the nature, impact, or character of the proposed
change does not require a filing of a "Notice of Proposed Change ". Listed below are
statements of fact that justify our contentions.
1. The proposed change involves only a single lot, Lot 75, 3.02 acres.
2. The proposed change involves only a DRI designated use change for Lot 75; a
change from Office/Industrial (01) to Office/Industrial/Commcrcial (OIC).
3. No change is proposed in the building area thresholds for Office, Industrial or
Commercial development as cwrendy approved.
4. There is no change in the traffic generated because there is no change in the
building area thresholds for office, industrial or commercial development.
5. There is no change in the traffic generated because there is no change in the
maximum number of residential units.
6. There is no change in the traffic generated because there is no change in the
maximum number of hotel rooms.
7. This Quantum Park DRI and the current development thresholds, if proposed as a
new project today, would not by a DRL
8. The Quantum Park DRI has been amended seven (7) times since 1999 and each
amendment was determined to not be a substantial deviation from the original
DRI approval.
9. The development is nearly built out and the development intensity is significantly
below the approved thresholds.

Subject: Quantum Park Development of Regional Impact — Non - substantive Modification
Dear Mr. Rumpf:
Council received a letter dated October 25, 2011 from Eugene A. Gerlica of Gerlica Inc.
concerning a proposed amendment to the Master Site Development Plan of the Quantum
Park Development of Regional Impact. The proposed amendment is to change the land use
designation on Lot 75 from Office/Industrial (0/I) to Office.'Industrial/Commercial (0/I/C).
Lot 75 is 3.02 acres and contains an existing building totaling 198,114 square feet (SF). This
change is being requested to enable the owner to lease approximately 94,000 SF of the
existing building to a commercial business.
Mr. Gerlica has requested that Council confirm that the proposed change to the Master Site
Development Plan could be processed as a non - substantive modification without going
through the Notice of Proposed Change process. Section 380.06(19)(e)2.k. allows the local
government to process the change locally if the state land planning agency, in consultation
with the regional planning council, agrees in writing that the change is not a substantial
deviation and does not create the likelihood of any additional regional impact. Please
consider this correspondence as the Council's letter of no objection to the City processing
this change locally according to the statute mentioned above.
If there are questions please call.
Sincerely, '�►t�
