Boynton Beach, FL June 5, 2012
Mayor Hay read a synopsis of the citation honoring Ms. Mathews for her 105 birthday.
She later appeared with her two granddaughters and was brought before the dais and
given a standing ovation for her accomplishment of life.
Commissioner Orlove noted the agenda would need to be amended to include a
presentation by Representative Bill Hagar from District 87. Mayor Hay suggested the
presentation be heard at this time.
Mr. Hagar outlined his district that encompasses the area along the ocean and
intracoastal through the City of Boynton Beach. The key obligation of the legislature is
to produce a balanced budget. Two years ago there was a reduction in revenue and
expenditures had been cut by $4 billion without raising taxes and cut expenses another
$2 billion without raising taxes. The State is well managed and ranked second in the
nation as a place to start, grow and conduct business with the fifth lowest taxation in the
United States and has AAA bond rating. The State ranks 11 in education across the
nation. Funding for grades K — 12 is up $1 billion in the most recent year with 97% of
the teachers in Palm Beach County renewing their contracts.
Mr. Hagar was a co- sponsor of the Caylee Anthony bill to make it a felony for the failure
of a parent to timely report a missing child. He was pleased to represent a portion of
the City and would be available at any time. He had and continues to support the police
and fire for their service.
Mayor Hay thanked Mr. Hagar for his presentation and representation in the State
government.
B. Presentation by Palm Beach County Sheriffs Office for Police Services
Attorney Cherof pointed out, under the agenda procedure, there would be no public
participation. The Commission may ask the Sheriff's representatives to return for a Q
and A for other information and the public would have the opportunity to participate.
There would be no comments after the presentation, during Public Audience or Public
Hearing.
Chief Immler explained during the budget process it became apparent he could not
maintain a flat budget as directed or a budget with a 10% decrease. One factor was the
COPS grant that paid $700,000 toward officer salaries had expired that would have to
be covered by the budget and the pension costs were projected to increase $600,000
for police and $100,000 for general employees assigned to the Police Department.
Additionally the budget would need to include $200,000 more for overtime to make it a
meaningful budget. Another $200,000 was needed to accommodate the evidence
storage. Chief Immler budgeted a $2 million increase for his department.

Another issue arose in the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) that should include funds for
replacement of the radio system that was designed to last until 2017. At that point it
would have to be replaced for a total of $10 million. A $2 million yearly payment into the
CIP fund would be needed in addition to the $2 million budget shortfall.
Since the funding could not be found in the Police Department budget, an alternative
would be to contact the Sheriff's office about a contract to provide services to the City of
Boynton Beach. Information was provided to enable the Sheriff's department to give a
proposal. Chief Immler introduced the Palm Beach Sheriff's office representatives,
Major Dan Smith and Lt. Steve Thibodeau to present the proposal.
Major Smith advised the Sheriff's office looked forward to providing law enforcement
services to the City of Boynton Beach. The proposal provided an arrangement that the
City would have no loss of control and the Sheriff's Department gains an opportunity to
serve by enhancing security, safety for residents, property and businesses. It would be
an efficient use of human resources, financial resources and capital resources. It would
enhance an agency -wide community policing philosophy that strengthens relationships
within the community and its leaders.
The merger would reduce the City's operational costs but provide exceptional, proactive
policing with a focus on communication, efficiency, professionalism, customer service
and community policing. There would be a greater opportunity for enhanced training for
the officers to protect themselves and the citizens they serve. Major Smith asked the
Commission and community to listen to the presentation and make an informed
decision on the best course of action for the City. It would not be easy.
Lt. Thibodeau reviewed the information provided to determine the objectives of the
Sheriff's office. He proposed 17 officers would be available on any given shift with a
guaranteed minimum of 15 officers. During peak hours from 3 p.m. to 2:30 a.m., an
additional eight officers would be added to the road with up to 25 officers available. It
would include a community policing team of one sergeant, six deputies and a CAT team
of one sergeant, five deputies and a detective bureau for the district and community
service aides.
The Sheriff's office places an emphasis on communication efficiencies and community
service and professionalism. There is a Captain assigned to the district who would be
Chief Immler. He would communicate with the Commission, decide the needs of the
City and pass the information to the Regional Commander in the area if necessary. The
Chief would now have a support staff available to formulate a plan that supports the
objectives.
The ancillary services would be available such as the helicopter, aviation or K -9 patrols
for an immediate response. Business partnership programs are available and designed
to watch over businesses while they are closed. There is a volunteer marine and land
units. The agency has developed a community policing philosophy that involves

working with Code Enforcement. The lobby would be open with a civilian clerk five days
a week, during normal business hours.
The proposal would reduce law enforcement staff from 164 to 128 officers. Civilian
positions would be reduced from 55 to 31 employees. All ancillary services the Sheriff's
office offers would be available. The officers retained by the contract would remain in
the City for a minimum of two years. The contract provides better benefits for the
officers with increased salary, lower health care costs, better retirement and take -home
cars. After successful completion of one year with the Sheriff's Department, seniority
with Boynton Beach would be reinstated.
Calls for service would be through the County dispatch center with a non - emergency
phone line dedicated to the Boynton Beach Police Department and the 911 service
would be maintained. There would be a dedicated talk group for the City of Boynton
Beach. The proposal would be to transfer 14 communication employees to the County
dispatch.
The cost for the services for 24 months would remain flat at $24,904,364 each year.
The savings would be $5 million for the City of Boynton Beach. It does not include
general liability, fleet maintenance, radio replacement or the cost of a new facility.
There would be additional services provided that are currently not offered by the City
such as aviation, bicycle operations, computer crimes, crime labs, domestic violence,
witness unit, and an emergency field force at no additional cost. The City would
recognize an immediate, substantial savings without raising taxes and maintain local
control. The Sheriff's office would ask the existing facility be maintained at its current
location and size.
Mayor Hay thanked the Officers for their presentation and noted it was strictly for
informational purposes at this time. He commended Chief Immler and Ms. LaVerriere
for thinking outside the box. It would be one idea, among others, that would be
considered during the budget process.
Commissioner Orlove inquired about the response time in other communities that the
Sheriff's office had taken over. The actual times were not available, but would be
provided. Mayor Hay reiterated the presentation was informational only and the
specifics could be addressed at a later time

Meeting Minutes

Boynton Beach, FL June 5, 2012
Lori Wilkinson, 2458 SW Cranbrook Drive, representing the Education and Youth
Advisory Board, reported on the Shred -a -Thon that netted $1,400 to be divided between
the Harvey Oyer Jr. Community Fund to be given to students, and the other half to
Sister Cities International. She thanked the Commission for the announcement and for
all those who participated.
Don Scantlan, 13 Cedar Circle, advised the Library does not have an agreement with
Workforce Alliance. Mr. Scantlan works as a volunteer to help people find jobs. He has
had as few as two participants and as many as nine people for an eight -hour session.
Thomas Jones, 808 NW 8 Avenue, commented on the financial status of the Police
Department that it would benefit the City and citizens to do an outside independent audit
of where the monies were being spent. He surmised several million in savings could be
found. Many things were mismanaged in the Department and improvements could be
made to gain dollars for improvements.
Susan Mandell, Room 101, Marina Village on Ocean Avenue, announced she was
helping to create a healthier City of Boynton Beach. She would be opening next week
and invited everyone to visit her spinning facility to empower, create, and nuture the
younger generations through a healthier adult world. She also had spinning equipment
available at Oceanfront Park from sunrise to sunset to accommodate all working
schedules.
Brian Miller, 2515 NE 2 Court, spoke on behalf of the football coach for Boynton
Beach High School. The football program needs the entire community's support. New
helmets were needed for a total cost of $10,500 or $200 per helmet to satisfy a new
safety standard set by the State. The Sponsor -A -Tiger program involves a $200
donation to purchase a helmet in return for 3 or 4 season tickets provided to the donor.

Kathleen Zeitler, Planner, explained the request to be more consistent with State
requirements. Staff proposed to allow utility service connections when the connections
are located between the building and the MVU and do not extend more than five feet
from the building wall and the wires do not connect any pedestrian pathways. Staff

10. CITY MANAGER'S REPORT
A. Approve the incorporation of five new job classification descriptions /titles into
the City's pay plan.
Julie Oldbury, Director of Human Resources, explained the request to include the
incorporation of five new classification specifications to be added into the City's pay
plan. New titles are being added to make the job more reflective of the work that needs
to be done due to changes within the Development Department. The headcount in the
Department would not change. Four of the five titles would be filled internally.
Motion
Commissioner Orlove moved to approve. Vice Mayor McCray seconded the motion.
Vote
The motion passed unanimously.
B. Staff follow up report - Provide direction on developing an in -house medical
clinic.
Ms. LaVerriere indicated there had been discussion on researching the feasibility of an
in -house medical clinic to service the employees and lower the health insurance
premiums. Policy direction was needed to proceed if the Commission is interested in
the concept. Ms. LaVerriere felt it was appropriate to introduce the clinic to the City in
the next couple years, if the Commission agrees.
Ms. Oldbury had a presentation that outlined how an in -house clinic could be
successful.
Chuck Magazine, Risk Manager, explained the idea was pursued to encourage
preventive care, reduction of time away from work, integrate wellness and provide
diagnostic services. Coaching and counseling to manage conditions, routine
occupational health visits and reduction in the cost of health care trends in the City are
all part of the objectives.
Mr. Magazine noted the goals of the City for a clinic would have to be determined and
the model developed. It could be primary care, urgent care, wellness and disease
management, pre - employment, workers' compensation and occupational medicine.
Currently the City has a fully- insured plan, but a partially, self- insured plan could be

Meeting Minutes

Boynton Beach, FL June 5, 2012
considered. There would also have to be incentives to encourage employees to use the
clinic with a campaign to educate the employees on the clinic. Many governmental
levels use clinics as well as some larger privately owned companies.
Based on data from other municipalities, a return on investment could be realized within
the first few years. Another benefit would be a reduction in claims and the associated
cost. The start-up cost would be $81,000 and the estimated annual cost would be
$480,000. The concept of the clinic enables cost avoidance of approximately $170,000
in the first year that would have a major impact on the premiums.
Mr. Magazine proposed a Request for Proposal (RFP) be initiated and then an analysis
be done and a final selection. The providers would have to be carefully selected so the
employees feel comfortable using the clinic.
Commissioner Holzman thanked Mr. Magazine for his work on the projgram.
Commissioner Holzman had spoken to an individual in Delray about their clinic and
employee satisfaction, ownership and flexibility and long -term cost savings were
excellent. Commissioner Holzman totally approved of the concept and wanted the
process to commence as soon as possible.
Vice Mayor McCray inquired if a location had already been considered and Mr.
Magazine replied the Madson Center was being considered. Commissioner Orlove
inquired if the start-up costs had been budgeted. Ms. Oldbury indicated funding had not
been budgeted. The possibility of partial self- funding would be an option to educate the
entire staff gradually on how to utilize their insurance to maximize their benefits and
manage their care. She felt October of 2013 would be a more realistic timeframe for the
clinic, if a move toward self- funding would be instituted for the next budget year. It
would make an easier transition. Funding would hopefully be more available at that
time. The staffing needs would be part of the RFP process, but the type of staff to be
used would have to be determined. They would not be on the City payroll. The clinic
could be utilized by only those who are on the City's insurance plan and then additional
family members added in a second phase.
Michael Meredith, from Willis, further explained the return on investment calculation
and budgeting possibilities. Commissioner Orlove inquired if the initiation of the RFP for
the clinic would factor into renegotiating the coverage for the upcoming budget cycle.
Mr. Meredith replied it would, if the City created a model on a partially self- funded basis,
a credit would be given for the liability they would assume. It would be a reduction in
the claim liability that would equate to a better position for the City.
Commissioner Ross inquired when other municipalities had started using a clinic and
Mr. Magazine estimated the last seven or eight years, but the concept originated in the
factory towns. Many private companies have seen the positive side of the venture.

Meeting Minutes

Boynton Beach, FL June 5, 2012
Ms. LaVerriere advised an RFP would be issued to explore the program for the self -
funding for the October 1 budget and modification to the existing health plan. The next
step would be to move to a fully operational clinic. The matter would be expedited.
11. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
A. Accept update report from staff on temporary provisions for feather banner
signs and support a 12 -month extension of said provisions
Mike Rumpf, Director of Planning and Development, recalled the history of the use of
feather banners by businesses. Current permit holders had been contacted for
feedback. All felt there was a benefit to have the banners displayed. They estimated a
20% to 30% increase in customer traffic. A visual survey was also done. There was a
request from a business owner to increase the frequency the banners could be
displayed or change the entire methodology to give more display time in a year. The
alternatives would be to discontinue the use and permit, extend the provision as
currently written or modify the regulations to change the frequency and duration of
display. The ordinance would have to be amended.
Commissioner Orlove inquired if there had been any conflicts between business owners
on who could and could not display. Mr. Rumpf contended there was a lack of
awareness among businesses so the competition for the permits was not a problem.
No permits were denied. On one inspection there were nine banners that were not
permitted. It had been a combination of efforts by Police, Code Compliance and
Planning and Zoning that monitored the banners. Commissioner Orlove was pleased
there was not a flurry of feather banners.
Commissioner Holzman noted the scenarios were that business owners were not
interested across the City as a whole or there are more unpermitted banners than
permitted. The majority of feather banners are not permitted and he questioned the
benefit if the regulations were not effective. Mr. Rumpf countered nine businesses did
get permits and claimed there was a benefit to them. It does have value. The issue of
non - permitted static banners is an even bigger issue that needs to be addressed.
Commissioner Holzman asked what the solution may be. Mr. Rumpf cautioned the
regulations were undergoing a trial period and Code Compliance would not be real
aggressive. Once the regulations are more established, compliance would be more
closely monitored. Mr. Rumpf recommended an extension for another year from
expiration of the first period for a total trial period of 18 months.
Lynn Carrier, owner of Marathon Music on Congress Avenue, had gotten a permit and
attended the last eight meetings the issue had been addressed by the Commission.
From the perspective of her business, the banner was very helpful. It is an effective
tool. She suggested the banners be approved based on linear feet for whatever
increment time. If no one else applied in her area she could continue the use of the
banner upon payment of the fee. Another business in her plaza had used a sign carrier
13
Meeting Minutes
Regular City Commission
Boynton Beach, FL June 5, 2012
along Congress Avenue to display her banner which Ms. Carrier felt was a safety
hazard.
Commissioner Holzman inquired if the use of the sign carriers was regulated. Mr.
Rumpf advised it was not permitted, but it was protected by First Amendment rights as
long as they did not create a traffic hazard. Commissioner Holzman asserted the trial
period be extended for another six months and for those who had requested permits, be
extended for another year period.
Mayor Hay agreed with Ms. Carrier's suggestion as long as no other business had
applied for a permit in the interim, upon payment of the fee, the continued use of the
banner would be permitted.
Commissioner Ross questioned the concern about a flurry of feather banners and if it
had occurred in other cities. Mr. Rumpf advised it was an issue along Lake Worth
Road. Commissioner Ross agreed with the proposal of the business owner and
Commissioner Holzman's suggestion.
Motion
Vice Mayor McCray moved to approve a 12 -month extension. Commissioner Orlove
seconded the motion, but amended it to include not being limited to a 90 -day period in
one calendar year.
Commissioner Holzman inquired about the practical enforcement of the regulations.
The consensus was to allow multiple 90 -day periods in a year on a first -come, first -
serve basis.
Vote
The motion passed unanimously.
B. Receive first update from Lansing Melbourne Group on Old High School
Redevelopment Project
Peter Flotz, 812 E. Strawbridge Avenue, Melbourne, FL, Principal of Lansing
Melbourne Group, noted it was early in the process. Time was being spent identifying
tenants and financing. A firm had been contacted to identify available tax credits for the
project and new market credits. There is a fair amount of interest. The possibility of a
remote culinary campus at the location had been discussed. The reaction has been
positive and he hoped the representatives from the school could be present in July for
the agenda.

Meeting Minutes
Regular City Commission
Boynton Beach, FL June 5, 2012
The decision was made to pursue a 10% credit for the historic aspect. There would be
less credit but the requirements for the inside would be less stringent and more
accommodating for the anticipated tenants.
Commissioner Orlove discussed the design submitted and was concerned there would
be encroachment on the Children's Schoolhouse Museum. Mr. Flotz cautioned the
designs were very preliminary and the specifics were very vague. The actual design
was not done at this point and would change.
Bruce Sutka, 1617 N. Flagler Drive, was asked by Commissioner Orlove if he would be
managing the special event area on the second floor and he replied it was the plan.
Prospective clients had been contacted. Commissioner Orlove asked when market
data on the viability of a special events center in the area would be available and the
anticipated revenue stream. The figures were being compiled and formal presentation
would be given. The goal would be to make it a destination and Mr. Sutka felt confident
the space would be constantly utilized for special events.

Mayor Hay announced Commissioner Ross had left due to an emergency.
Mayor Hay thanked Lansing Melbourne for the update.
