The ITB was advertised and bids were received On May 30, 2012 with five (5)
respondents. After Procurement Services Division’s initial review of the bids, the
proposals were submitted to Utilities Department for further review. The lowest priced
bid submittal was rendered non-responsive as they took exception to the stipulation in
the ITB to provide the necessary literature in response to an offered brand of
equipment. (See attached memorandum providing detailed information.)
With review of the second lowest bid response, there was concurrence between the
Utilities Department and Procurement Services Division that Electrical Contracting
Service, Inc. is the most responsive, responsible bidder on the basis not only cost, but
acceptable technical specifications and time for completion of work. In addition, the
recommended bidder has provided a two (2) year warranty for their equipment which
exceeds the minimum requirement of one (1) year.

Approve an annual service Agreement with Motorola, Inc. in the amount of $107,775.24 for the
continued maintenance and repair of the City's radio telecommunications systems and authorize
the Interim City Manager to sign the Agreement.
ER:
The City maintains a radio telecommunications system that
XPLANATION OF EQUEST
provides the Police Department, Fire/Rescue Department and other local government
entities with radio communications. The Motorola Company manufactured and installed
our current system which consists of computer consoles, portable radios, antennas and
an infrastructure that requires continuous monitoring and maintenance to insure
operational readiness. The City has a ten year relationship with Motorola and this
request is for an annual maintenance agreement for Motorola to provide monitoring and
diagnostic services along with the replacement or repair of any defects to the
infrastructure, computer equipment, and radio repair and upgrades required.
Motorola is a sole source provider for the maintenance and repair of the City’s radio
telecommunications systems for the following reasons:
-Equipment installed and maintained contains proprietary and other protected design
aspects, only known to Motorola.
-The software that drives the system also contains the proprietary and other protected
design aspects.
-There are strict licensing controls that can only be carrier out at a Motorola Authorized
Service Center.
151 of 382
-There is some communications encryption technology used in the system that requires
special handling and repair measures, which can only be carried out at a Motorola
Authorized Service Center.
While Motorola has the option to subcontract radio maintenance to an authorized
Motorola subcontractor, the Communications infrastructure (consoles, repeaters, etc)
are serviced and maintained by Motorola directly. Authorized subcontractors of
Motorola (i.e. Control Communications) will not contract with entities directly as their
work orders are routed through Motorola.
The service agreement contract will cover the period 10/01/2012 to 09/30/2013.
Based on the above information we recommend the annual service agreement contract
be given to Motorola, Inc. in the amount of $107,775.24.
H?
This service agreement insures
OW WILL THIS AFFECT CITY PROGRAMS OR SERVICES
that public safety and relevant local government entities can maintain radio
communications which is critical to the provision of services to the community.
FI:
Budget item from the 2012-2013 fiscal year account number 001-1810-

A:
Radio communications are mission critical to the public safety function.

and classified by the State as Mobile Food Dispensing Vehicles (MFDVs); and 2) to
accommodate limited connection to utilities. Applicant: City Initiated. (TABLED TO JULY 3, 2012)
ER:
The City’s MVU regulations (Ordinance 07-024) apply
XPLANATION OF EQUEST
broadly to all types of mobile vendors, whether providing a service or selling
merchandise or food. Mobile food vendors are also regulated by the Florida
Department of Business and Professional Regulation, Division of Hotels and
Restaurants. The State regulates them as either a Hot Dog cart (HTDG license) or a
Mobile Food Dispensing Vehicle (MFDV license). The State requires an MVU with a
HTDG license to return daily to its commissary for cleaning, and requires an MVU with a
MFDV license to return weekly to its commissary for cleaning (see Exhibit “A”). Staff is
proposing to modify certain regulations for mobile vendors with a MFDV license to be
more consistent with State requirements. The revisions would apply mainly to MFDV
food vendors on very large parcels (home improvement stores, big box retail stores,
etc.), and located within close proximity to the principal building at an adequate distance
from streets and sidewalks to avoid any visual impacts upon abutting rights-of-way or
abutting properties.
This is a City-initiated code review whereby staff is proposing to modify the Land
Development Regulations (LDR) to allow mobile vending units to be removed once a
week (rather than on a daily basis) from an approved location, provided that all of the
following apply: (1) the approved and assigned location for the MVU is on private
176 of 382
property; (2) the MVU is a Class “B” greater than 72 square feet in size and licensed
with the State as a Mobile Food Dispensing Vehicle (MFDV); and (3) the approved
location is a minimum of 250 feet from any right-of-way.
Staff is also proposing to modify the LDR to allow utility service connections when said
connections are located between the building and the MVU, with the connections not
extending more than five (5) feet from the building wall of the principal use on site, and
the external connections placed in such a manner as not to cross any pedestrian
pathways. This modification acknowledges the power needs of the larger MVU’s, and
benefits of them using an available power source from within the building, rather than a
generator that would have negative impacts (e.g. noise).
Staff is proposing that this item be expedited to minimize the delay in setup and
operation of an MFDV approved for the Lowes Home Improvement Center. The unit had
been constructed and purchased overlooking the requirement for daily removal. Due to
unit design and type of food prepared, daily breakdown and removal isn’t cost effective.
Given the location, adjacent land uses, property size, and distance from the right-of-
way, no negative impacts are anticipated, and benefits would be realized by employees,
customers and the small business industry.
At their meeting on May 22, 2012, the Planning and Development Board recommended
approval of this request as proposed.

At the March 6, 2012 City Commission meeting, members of
XPLANATION OF EQUEST
the City Commission and the public were introduced to the Boynton Beach Brand
Promise that was created by Boynton Beach community stakeholders for the City’s
rebranding program. Part of the overall presentation was a review of the Brand
Blueprint which listed some “next steps” for the culturalization of employees and
external stakeholders to promote the Brand Promise message. The City Commission
by consensus directed staff to proceed with the creation of a Brand Blueprint and
Marketing Plan, based on the recommendations and implementation strategies
discussed in the preliminary blueprint.
On June 11, 2012 the first meeting of the Brand Promise Marketing Team was held.
The marketing team is comprised of area marketing specialists that have generously
donated their time and efforts to assist the City in creating a long-term marketing plan.
Members of the Brand Promise Marketing Team are as follows:
Lindsey Nuzzo,
Marketing and Development Coordinator for the Schoolhouse
Children’s Museum & Learning Center.
Wayne Segal,
Former Director of Public Affairs for the City of Boynton Beach.
Ginny Shea,
Senior Recreation Manager and Marketing for the City of Boynton Beach.
Roz Kodish,
Owner/Operator of Everything Logo, Inc. and a Greater Boynton Beach
Chamber of Commerce member.
Margee Walsh,
Marketing Director for the Boynton Beach CRA.

, Public Arts Director for the City of Boynton Beach
Enid Silberstein,

of Commerce.
Carisse LeJeune,
Interim Assistant City Manager and Marketing Team Facilitator.
The Brand Promise Marketing Team has met three times and has produced a
preliminary draft marketing plan. As the plan proceeds and budgets are established,
more definitive cost data will be provided. The costs associated with the attached draft
marketing plan are best estimates based on industry knowledge.
Coinciding with the efforts of the marketing team, the Human Resources department
has been working on a draft Employee Engagement program for branding awareness
that consists of an education training program, a recruitment and retention strategy and
on-going employee engagement to help employees embrace the Brand Promise and a
customer-centric philosophy that will enable them to deliver the promise through their
daily operations.
The Brand Promise Marketing Team is currently in the process of assisting the City to
develop a visual representation of the Brand Promise, including logo and tag line,
guidelines for usage, and collateral materials, both internally and externally. An
invitation for quote has gone out to twelve independent graphic design companies and
artists. The marketing team has established evaluation criteria to select a designer to
provide three to five graphic representations of the Brand Promise. The marketing team
anticipates bringing a final product to the Commission for approval by October 2012.
Concurrently, the marketing team will be working on the guidelines for usage for both
internal and external stakeholders.
City staff members of an internal marketing team are currently working with department
designees and the City’s Webmaster to create a fresh new website design reflective of
the Brand Promise and the City’s economic development goals. City staff is also
working on creating the City’s Brand Story which preserves and communicates the
brand’s (Boynton Beach) heritage.
The Brand Promise Marketing Team is working on the creation of a draft “elevator
speech” for comment and feedback by the new Economic Development team.

Approve the City's participation in the Interlocal Agreement between the Town of Lantana,
Florida, the Town of Mangonia Park, Florida and the Florida Green Finance Authority as a
means of implementing and financing a qualifying improvements program for energy
conservation and efficiency improvements for commercial properties through Property Assessed
Clean Energy (PACE); Approving and Authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the Party
Membership Agreement to the Florida Green Finance Authority. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
PROGRAM INITIATIVE # 42 and CLIMATE ACTION PLAN IMPLEMENTATION INITIATIVE #
4.5.2(8)
ER:
The Town of Lantana, in partnership with the Greater Lake Worth
XPLANATION OF EQUEST
Chamber of Commerce and the Greater Boynton Beach Chamber of Commerce received a
Florida Clean Energy Grant that facilitated the creation of a program to provide financing to
businesses to complete energy efficiency or renewable energy projects on their buildings and
facilities. This program applies a financing and repayment mechanism called “PACE” (Property
Assessed Clean Energy). The program offers financing to commercial property owners, but
allows them to repay that debt through their annual tax bill. This way, there is an immediate
benefit of lower energy costs, creating jobs for installers, and conservation. There’s also the
long-term cost savings benefit for the property owner and the environment.
It is the first commercially-focused financing program of its kind in the State of Florida and one
of only a handful in the entire country. It will seek to build upon the success of a similar PACE
financing program for residential property owners that was established by Leon County, Florida
– the Leon Energy Assistance Program (LEAP).
195 of 382
The financing program utilizes the open market approach to stimulate competition among
banks, energy service providers and other vendors, to finance energy-saving projects for a
property owner. This approach keeps economic development and job creation local, opposed
to an “exclusive consortium” arrangement. The open market approach provides room for
multiple businesses and providers, and is comparable to similar programs in San Francisco and
Los Angeles recently lauded by the Clinton Climate Change Initiative.
Under Section 163.01 of the Florida State Statutes, local governments may enter in interlocal
agreements for their mutual benefits and allows for the creation of a separate legal or
administrative entity to carry out the purposes of an interlocal agreement. Section 163.08 also
provides that local government may finance qualifying improvements, including the type of
energy efficiency improvements sought to be provided by this agreement via the levy and
collection of voluntary non-ad valorem assessments on improved property. The qualifying
improvements program entitled “Florida Green Energy Works” (FGEW) is administered through
an Interlocal Financing Authority district (the Florida Green Financing Authority).
Another facet of the FGEW is the Green Business Certification Program which is a tool for local
businesses. The certification program provides a step-by-step process for incorporating
affordable green practices and technologies into the business. It is tailored to any sector, is
easy to use, and delivers immediate and cost effective results. FGEW also offers a Contractor
Certification Program that verifies business licenses, confirms contractor experience in energy
efficient retrofits, and provides leads to qualified applicants. Contractors negotiate directly with
owners as part of the competitive bid process, facilitating the open market approach.
The Florida Green Energy Works (PACE) program has been established through an agreement
between the Town of Lantana and the Town of Mangonia Park. Other municipalities have the
ability to “opt-in” to the program at no cost by passing a resolution to become a party to the
interlocal agreement. The City of West Palm Beach and the City of Delray Beach have both
opted in to this program and the Lake Worth City Council will be considering the program in the
very near future, creating a regional district to provide financing to their businesses for cost-
saving energy retrofits. The City of Boynton Beach would be an important piece of the puzzle
that will complete a contiguous district which would be the only one of its kind in the State of
Florida.
Establishing a PACE funding mechanism has been identified and approved by the City
Commission in both the Climate Action Plan and the Economic Development Program.
Economic Development Program Initiative # 42 “ Establish a PACE funding mechanism to
assist Business and multi-family developments in funding energy upgrades in partnership with
the Greater Boynton Beach Chamber of Commerce’s Green Business Program.”
Climate Action Plan Implementation Initiative # 4.5.2(8) “Investigate low interest revolving loan
funds or establishment of a Property Assessed Clean Energy (“PACE”) to help finance retrofits.
Ensure the program includes commercial, residential and industrial projects to maximize energy
retrofit benefits among the highest energy consumers.”
It is Staff’s recommendation that the City of Boynton Beach opt-in to the existing FGEW
program. The Town of Lantana went through the bid process to choose their existing third party
administrator for the program. Staff believes that it would not be cost efficient to go through
another bid process to create our own, stand alone financing district. The approximate cost of
creating a separate PACE program for the City of Boynton Beach would be around $400,000.
This cost is based upon the expenses incurred by the Town of Lantana, funded by the Florida
Clean Energy Grant (ARRA Funding). The start-up costs for the FGEW are as follows:
196 of 382
$201,000 for the administrative team to:
Design and establish website, application process and make program functional
o
to process applications.
Design the program requirements and criteria for participation (including
o
application process).
Create the legal mechanisms to repay the financing (develop and finalize
o
agreements with the property Appraiser and Tax Collector).
Design the financing agreement.
o
Draft the Interlocal Agreement.
o
Outreach to financing partners and banks to assure proper underwriting criteria
o
were developed.
$100,000 for first year operations of the Interlocal Authority including:
Administrative aspects, reporting, auditing and management of in the same way
o
a special district is managed.
All public noticing.
o
Development of meeting agendas and materials.
o
Bond validation process (statewide application of judgment)
o
General Counsel for the Interlocal Authority.
o
$40,000 for the 4 workshops. 2 workshops were for PACE, 2 workshops were for the
Green Business Certification component (which is designed to run hand in hand with the
PACE program). Businesses that take out PACE financing should be able to achieve
the minimal level of certification, thus being able to “market” their commitment to
conservation and a sustainable community by participating in PACE. They become a
“good neighbor” which is an intangible asset.
$80,000 - $100,000 in “in-kind” professional fees from EcoCity Partners, Renewable
Funding and legal counsel. (The actual grant was for $341,000).
It is important to note that by opting-in to the FGEW program, no local government will have to
bear these costs as it is all being done through the Financing Authority. Nor will these costs
have to be recouped through fees or increased interest rates for the program participants.
These costs are consistent with the FGEW’s partner Renewable Funding’s experience in
California where they have formed multi-jurisdictional PACE programs that service over 65% of
the population of California.
H?
By opting-in to the Florida Green
OW WILL THIS AFFECT CITY PROGRAMS OR SERVICES
Energy Works PACE program, the City of Boynton Beach will immediately be able to provide
commercial property owners the ability to finance energy improvements to their business
properties through assessments on their tax bills. This program will encourage energy efficient
practices and create jobs. It will impact the business community’s carbon footprint by reducing
greenhouse gas emissions and helping to meet our goal of an 18% reduction of GHG emissions
by 2035. PACE has also been identified as an economic development tool to assist with
business retention by reducing the overhead expenses including water, waste and energy, of
businesses and multi-family developments in the city through energy efficient retrofits to their
property and adopting conservation practices in their operations. Establishing a PACE program
will also create green jobs as local vendors and contractors experience an increased demand
for supplying “green” services and equipment, and with the “open market” financing options,
local banks can compete to provide funding that will be repaid through the tax bill, not the
standard business loan.
FI:
There is no cost to the city by passing a resolution and opting-in to the Florida

Green Energy Works program. If the city decides to opt-out during the first 2 years, there is an
opt-out fee of $15,000 for the first year and $7,500 during the second year. There is no fee for
opting out after year two.

Background:
A Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) program is a local government initiative that
creates private sector jobs in 'green' finance, energy, and construction fields. PACE
allows property owners to finance energy efficiency and renewable energy projects in
homes and commercial buildings. It is voluntary and community based, provides long
term funding from private capital markets at low cost and needs no government
subsidies or taxes. PACE raises property values by making buildings less expensive to
heat and cool. Currently, 28 states, plus DC have adopted PACE legislation. PACE
financing defrays the upfront cost of incorporating energy efficiency improvements such
as insulation, heating and cooling systems, weatherization upgrades, and solar
installations.
The financing is paid over a period of years at a low interest rate through an annual
property tax assessment.
PACE is unique because it:
* Creates desperately needed local jobs.
* Uses private capital, not taxes or government subsidies.
* Saves money for building owners and increases property values.
* Is voluntary – not a government mandate.
* Promotes energy security without driving up energy costs.
* Avoids the need to build costly new power plants.
* Transferable to subsequent property owners upon sale.
* Reduces air pollution.(for further detail please see www.pacenow.org).
A growing number of existing buildings within the City do not meet today's energy
efficiency standards, nor do many existing buildings have renewable energy systems.
Similarly, many buildings are in need of improvements to protect them against damage
from storm events. The upfront costs of these improvements are a hurdle to installing
them and existing financing options may be insufficient for property owners to access
cost-effective financing for energy-saving or wind-resistance property improvements
due to requirements associated with traditional debt or equity financing options.
The State of Florida has declared it the public policy of the State to develop energy
management programs aimed at promoting energy conservation and protecting
properties from wind. Section 163.08, Florida Statutes, authorizes local governments in
Florida to either form individually, or in partnership with other local governments,
programs to allow property owners to voluntarily finance energy efficiency, renewable
energy or wind resistance improvements.
The Town of Lantana has developed a PACE program called the "Florida Green Energy
Works" program. This is a voluntary participation program. Essentially, how the program
works is that a property owner applies for financing for energy efficiency projects on
his/her property. The applicant goes through an approval process and if approved, the
property owner receives financing, hires his own contractor and completes the projects
on their own. The role of the local government is to levy a non-ad valorem assessment
on their property to repay the financing through the property tax bill. Even though the
property owner’s taxes increase from the voluntary non-ad valorem assessment, the
end result is that once the property owner completes these projects their monthly
electric bill will decrease. The idea is for the financed retrofit cost (annual assessment)
to be offset by the reduction in electrical cost.
251 of 382
In order to administer the program and the assessments, the Florida Green Energy
Authority has been created by Interlocal Agreement of the Town of Lantana and the
Town of Mangonia Park, thus eliminating the costs and reducing the efforts necessary
to form an energy financing program by individual local governments. The Authority will
be the financing agency and there will be no obligation of the City for financing
contributions. This program will initially focus on commercial properties within the City.
Although residential PACE programs are possible, the Federal Housing Finance Agency
(FHFA) has taken issue with PACE and is currently conducting a Rulemaking
Procedure. In the future, if the FHFA issues are resolved, the Florida Green Energy
Works program could potentially expand to residential properties.
Although there is no cost to joining the Authority, should the City elect to withdraw from
the Authority within the first year, there will be an opt-out fee of up to $15,000 or $7,500
the second year to cover the up-front legal and other costs of establishing the Authority.
There is no opt-out fee after the second year. The Resolution authorizes the Mayor to
sign the necessary agreements to join the Authority and implement the Florida Green
Energy Works program.

EQUESTED CTION BY ITY OMMISSION
SECOND READING - Approve amendments to Code of Ordinances Part II, Chapter 13
"Licenses", requiring Certificate of Use as condition of receiving Business Tax Receipt, and
removing Article I, Sec. 13-28 "Licensing of used car lots" (TABLED TO JULY 3, 2012)
ER:
Recent activity during the last legislative session indicates that the
XPLANATION OF EQUEST
State is considering eliminating the ability of the City to impose a local Business Tax. In order
to enable the City to verify that a business use is compatible with local zoning and building
occupancy requirements, staff is recommending the establishment of a Certificate of Use
process, as a prerequisite to obtaining a local Business Tax Receipt.
The Ordinance proposes a change to the Code that will require an applicant to first obtain a
Certificate of Use as a condition precedent to obtaining a local Business Tax Receipt. The
Certificate of Use will be processed through the Planning and Zoning Department, and confirms
that the occupancy of the structure meets code, certifies that the use is permitted according to the
City’s Zoning Code, verifies that the structure was built for the proposed type of business. Once
a Certificate of Use is obtained, a Local Business Tax Receipt, which is required to engage in
business within the City, may then be applied for and issued.
Additionally, Section 13-28 will be removed to avoid conflict with existing zoning and land use
regulations in Code of Ordinances Land Development Regulations Part III.

Business Tax Receipts Procedure:
Every rental unit used for residential living purposes in the city must have a Certificate of Use and
unless otherwise exempt, must be issued a Business Tax Receipt. This includes rental property four units
or less, including single family residential rentals, condominiums, and mobile homes.
st
Business Tax Receipts are issued for a period of twelve months, from October 1 to the following
th
September 30. They must be renewed annually. To avoid renewal late fees, rental Business Tax Receipt
stth
fees are payable by October 1. After January 30, late renewals require a Code Compliance (interior and
exterior) inspection of the property.
Whenever a rental property is sold or otherwise changes ownership, the new owner must do the
following:
(1) Apply for a new Certificate of use and rental Business Tax Receipt;
(2) Schedule an inspection of the rental with the Code Compliance Division.
If the inspection process should reveal Zoning, Building, Housing or Fire Code violations, they
must be corrected and a re-inspection made by the appropriate department. The owner is given adequate
time to correct any violations. All violations must be corrected before occupancy will be approved.
Any property that has been found in violation by a code compliance board of the city shall be
required to be inspected after six (6) months from the date of the hearing, and again at twelve (12) months
after the date of the hearing in which the property was found to be in violation.
The owner of a property that has been found to be in violation by a code compliance board of the
city shall be required to pay an inspection fee of seventy-five dollars ($75.00) for each of the inspections
required. The required inspection fees shall be included as part of the administrative costs assessed by the
city and shall be included in any liens filed by the city.
NOTE: Fees may change from time to time by Ordinance of the City Commission. The
application for Certificate of Use and information forms for rental Business Tax Receipts are available on
line at the City’s website and at the Development Services Division of City Hall, 100 East Boynton Beach
Boulevard. It should be noted that post office boxes are not acceptable addresses for mailing purposes,
and actual street addresses are required on the application.
Designation of resident agent: No Certificate of Use and Business Tax Receipt shall be issued by the
city for a rental dwelling located on a rental premises unless the applicant therefore designates in writing
to the city the name, address, and local telephone number of the owner or resident agent to receive service
of notice of violation of this Code. The owner may designate as his or her resident agent any natural
person eighteen (18) years of age or older who is customarily present at a business location within the city
for the purposes of transacting business, or who actually resides within the city. An owner may change
his or her designation of a resident by notifying the city in writing of the name, address, and local
telephone number of the person designated by the owner to replace the previous resident agent. Any
notice of violation or legal process which has been delivered or served upon the previous resident agent
prior to the receipt of the city of notice of change of the resident agent shall be deemed effective service.
It shall be the sole responsibility of the owner to appoint a reliable resident agent and to inform the
317 of 382
resident agent of his correct mailing address. Failure to do so shall be no defense to a violation of this
Code. No owner shall designate as a resident agent any person who does not expressly comply with the
provisions of this section. The owner or the resident agent shall be deemed to be the “violator” as the
term is used in F. S. § 162.06(2). Service of notice of the resident agent shall be deemed service of notice
of the owner, tenant and violator.

periods
ER:
On December 6, 2011 the Commission approved Ordinance
XPLANATION OF EQUEST

temporary regulations established a term and definition for a “feather banner” along with
th
corresponding standards and procedural requirements. On June 5, staff presented to
the Commission its findings collected during the 6-month period and a recommendation
for a 12-month extension. Staff’s recommendation was based on the lack of negative
impacts experienced during the trial period and positive benefit to local businesses. The
Commission acted to support the extension and provision that would allow for multiple
90-day display periods for a single business.
The proposed ordinance would amend the temporary provisions within the City’s Sign
Regulations to extend the trial period for 12 months and to allow for the permitting of
repeat display periods of 90 days if there exist capacity on the subject property based
on the maximum standard of 1 feather banner for each 300 feet of property frontage.

PROPOSED RESOLUTION NO. R12-058 -
EQUESTED CTION BY ITY OMMISSION
Approve joint proposal regarding location and limitation of digital outdoor advertising displays with
Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc., and Wilton Manor Street Systems, Inc.
ER:
In 2000, Florida Outdoor Advertising, LLC., Gold Coast
XPLANATION OF EQUEST
Advertising, Inc., initiated litigation with the City over applications for sign permits which
resulted in a Settlement Agreement dated October 5, 2001. The Agreement allowed the
installation of certain signs adjacent to Interstate 95 in the City.
Clear Channel subsequently assumed the rights of Florida Outdoor Advertising and Gold Coast
Advertising under the Agreement to six billboards with a total of 11 advertising faces. Clear
Channel applied to the City for a permit to upgrade an existing sign under the Agreement to an
“embodied” lighting system under Section 8 of the Agreement, “Sign Lighting.” Embodies light
systems are also known as digital display billboards. The City denied Clear Channel’s
application on the basis that Section 8 “Sign Lighting” did not allow the proposed upgrade.
Clear Channel initiated litigation against the City in Palm Beach County Circuit Court over the
meaning of Section 8 “Sign Lighting”.
Contemporaneously with defending the Clear Channel Complaint, Wilton Manors Street
Systems made a proposal to lease City-owned property on the east side of I-95 to erect either a
static faced billboard or a digital billboard. Digital billboards produce significantly more
revenue than static face billboards. With respect to the Wilton Manors Street System proposal
lease revenue from the City would be greater from a digital billboard than from a static face
billboard. The proposed Lease would result in the Public Works billboard being a static face
billboard. That would leave Wilton Manors Street System with the right to construct one
341 of 382
additional billboard on the west side of I-95 in a location not yet determined. If and when
constructed, this final billboard would be either static or digital at Wilton manors Street Systems
option.
The 2000 litigation and the billboard restraints that were the outcome of that litigation justify
joint resolution of the Clear Channel litigation and the Wilton Manors Street System request.
Joint resolution would also eliminate the risk of future liability over interpretation of the 2000
case settlement.
H? Pending litigation would be settled

without further risk and the City will derive significant income from leasing a portion of the
Public Works compound.
FI: The lease with Wilton Manors Street System for a portion of the Public Works

Compound will net the City annual base rent of $24,750 plus a 3% increase per year after the

of pending law suit with Clear Channel. With respect to Wilton Manors Street System, approve
