Informational Items by Members of the City Commission Commissioner Fitzpatrick remarked it was a good holiday and Vice Mayor Hay agreed. Commissioner Merker reported that he had met with Rebecca Shelton and Chris Brown, a principal with RMA, Redevelopment Management Association, to discuss how they could assist the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) with the development of One Federal Highway and 500 Federal Highway. They had previously met with Mayor Taylor and Commissioner Casello. Commissioner Merker did not understand how the Commission could applaud the CRA Director and staff and then discuss bringing in a third party that would result in extra costs. He found it insulting that Ms. Shelton and Mr. Brown had the audacity to even present the possibility of offering assistance to the CRA based on the praises of staff. Commissioner Merker wanted clarification from Mayor Taylor and Commissioner Casello about the purpose of the discussions and the need for a third party intervention. Mayor Taylor responded many businessmen ask to meet with him and he had personal knowledge of Chris Brown. Mr. Brown mentioned he had read about the Bank America property negotiations and he offered his assistance to solicit a buyer for the property. Mayor Taylor told Mr. Brown there was an existing CRA for that purpose. He felt Mr. Brown's purpose was to solicit new business for his company and Mayor Taylor indicated there was no interest on the part of the City of Boynton Beach or CRA to engage a third party. It was a simple business meeting. Commissioner Merker was glad to hear that Mayor Taylor continued to applaud and support the current CRA and staff. Mayor Taylor and Commissioner Merker agreed there was no need for a third party intervention Commissioner Casello concurred it was an informational type meeting with no discussion of any takeover of the CRA. 2 Meeting Minutes Regular City Commission Boynton Beach, FL Commissioner Casello wished everyone a healthy, happy and prosperous New Year. He announced the Fire Department's first pancake breakfast on January 12 from 8 to 11 a.m. at Fire Station #3 to raise funds for the family of firefighter Jeffrey Kinbacher who recently passed away. Mayor Taylor wished everyone a healthy and happy New Year and looked for good things to happen in the City of Boynton Beach. Vice Mayor Hay reiterated the details of the upcoming pancake breakfast. He had also attended the "Shop with a Cop" program held at Walmart. It is a great opportunity for the kids to learn budgeting and the gift of giving to others as well as themselves. Vice Mayor Hay challenged everyone to participate in "Let's Move Boynton" produced by the Palm Beach Health Care Foundation. It was open to all residents who could log in through the web and tally their minutes of exercise. There were walks scheduled every Wednesday starting at noon or one p.m. with the employee team. Various routes from City facilities had been established Vice Mayor Hay believed healthy employees were more productive. Commissioner Fitzpatrick disclosed he had not been contacted or met with anybody from RMA. 3. ANNOUNCEMENTS, COMMUNITY & SPECIAL EVENTS & PRESENTATIONS A. Announcement of the "Bark in the Park" event, which will be held at Pence Park on Saturday, January 18 from 10 a.m. to noon Mary DeGraffenreidt, representing the Recreation and Parks Department, shared information on the "Bark in the Park" event to be held on January 18th at Pence Park from 10 a.m. to noon. There would be a canine demonstration by the Police Department, dog fashion show and contests, kid's art zone, and presentations from various sponsors and vendors.

Mr. Harry Meeks and Mr. Michael Norwood will accept the proclamation on behalf of the City of Boynton Beach Martin Luther King, Jr. Committee. The proclamation for Martin Luther King, Jr. Day was read by Mayor Taylor and presented to Mr. Meeks. Everyone was invited to participate in the march along Railroad Avenue and MLK Boulevard. More information would be distributed prior to the march. There would be a banquet on Sunday, January 12 at the Benvenuto Restaurant starting at 6:30 p.m. 3 January 7, 2014 Meeting Minutes Regular City Commission Boynton Beach, FL 4. PUBLIC AUDIENCE January 7, 2014 INDIVIDUAL SPEAKERS WILL BE LIMITED TO 3 MINUTE PRESENTATIONS (at the discretion of the Chair, this 3 minute allowance may need to be adjusted depending on the level of business coming before the City Commission) David Katz, 67 Midwood Lane, requested that Consent Agenda Item 6.H be pulled for public comment Attorney Tolces advised at the time the Consent Agenda comes up for consideration any items could be pulled. Mr Katz opined Commission members should be fully prepared for each meeting and afford other members the respect they deserve on and off the dais Commission members should not actively recruit candidates to run against an incumbent Commissioner Mr. Katz understood that Commissioner Merker had met with Don Scantlan asking him to run against Commissioner Casello. Mr. Scantlan declined. Mr. Katz stressed although he had not agree with Commissioner Casello on many issues, he was fundamentally and philosophically opposed to such conduct. He quoted Thomas Jefferson, "Whenever a man casts a longing eye on political office, rottenness begins in his conduct." Commissioner Merker thanked Mr. Katz for his reference to history and noted there have been several political third parties organized over the years. The United States allows individuals to support and vote for or against any candidate. As a Commissioner or a citizen, there is a right to support or not support a candidate. Commissioner Merker was astounded that Mr. Katz would question that a citizen can ask someone else to run and is not American. The concept of finding others who support your views to push for development or education is the American way. Commissioner Merker found Mr. Katz's statements to be politically based on past and present conduct. He contended Mr. Katz's assertion was ludicrous, ridiculous and stupid. Willie Ceasar, 712 East Chatelaine Boulevard, Delray Beach, operated a barbeque business at 2015 South Federal Highway in the parking lot of his church every Saturday. He was advised by Code Compliance that he could not operate the barbecue without meeting with City staff. Mr. Ceasar met with City officials and even though he only had a grill on the side of the road, he would have to follow the food truck guidelines. He was given the available information since all the guidelines were not in place. Mr. Ceasar supplied the information he thought was required and was told he could operate until all the paperwork was completed. Two weeks later the Code Enforcement Officer returned and shut him down again. Mr. Ceaser contended he had paid the fees, turned in all the paperwork, but every week he is told there is more paperwork to be completed. He had actually overpaid the fees. 4 Meeting Minutes Regular City Commission Boynton Beach, FL January 7, 2014 Mr Ceasar was attempting to do as directed by City staff. He was a teacher and mentor to children through his church and community activities. He gave away meals at Thanksgiving, provided Christmas gifts for seven different families and donated 250 book bags for school. He was attempting to work with the community and run a business The business is his wife's and a worker's only job. Mr. Ceasar wanted to know what he needed to do to run his business according to the regulations. The rules keep changing for him. Mayor Taylor was glad to hear from Mr. Ceasar and the problems he was experiencing. Mayor Taylor believed in one stop processing for businessmen. He was concerned and advised ne would work with the City Manager and make the process clear and not repetitive Mr Ceasar requested that he be allowed to operate until the process is done. He was cooperating and yet the police visited his business and made an official police report. Attorney Tolces explained the Commission did not have right to grant permission for him to operate his business. The City Manager would provide Mr. Ceasar with the information required to operate legally. Mr. LaVerriere noted staff had been in continual communication with Mr. Ceasar. Vice Mayor Hay advised he had been working with Mr. Ceasar on the problem. It was made clear that the rules and policies had not been totally defined and adopted. The process was not only new to Mr. Ceasar, it was also new to staff. A second meeting is being planned to further discuss the requirements with Mr. Ceasar. There have been requirements from the County, State and even Federal regulations that had to be met. Mayor Taylor recalled there was another business along Federal Highway that operated a grill, so it was not totally new to the City. The mobile vending regulations are new. Ms. LaVerriere reported the City requirements were not the issue at this point. The Palm Beach County Health Department was requiring certain standards be met for the grill to meet fire standards. The food is served to the public so it is a public health and welfare issue that are not regulated by the City of Boynton Beach. It is more complicated and Mr. Ceasar has gone through more than related. The City would continue to work with Mr. Ceasar and give a full report to the Commission on the progress. Wayne Barton, from the Wayne Barton Center of Boca Raton, spoke in support of Mr. Ceasar, and asked the City to make a commitment to support Mr. Ceasar and his business. Mr. Barton was a community leader and totally supported a businessman attempting to follow the rules and regulations and urged the City Commission to do the same. Mr. Ceasar's efforts support the children in the area and the entire community. Mr. Barton knew the City of Boynton Beach and the staff are a caring community. 5 Meeting Minutes Regular City Commission Boynton Beach, FL Mayor Taylor was aware of Mr. Barton's work in the County and commended him for all his endeavors to help others. Dr. Piotr Blass, 113 Tara Lakes Drive, joined in the request to support Mr. Ceasar and his business. Dr. Blass advised he was running for Mayor and was glad District 1 was strongly represented this year. He had just returned from Peru and a section of Lima could easily become a Sister City to Boynton Beach Dr. Blass was continuing his efforts to create the University of Boynton. There are currently 40 students and he continued his quest to use the Old High School for his classes. One project that was being studied was a system to obtain energy by using turbines in the gulfstream for an alternative energy source. His research related to earthquakes continues Lori Wilkinson, 2458 SW Cranbrook Drive, announced the 2 " Annual 5K run at the Barrier Free Park on Congress Avenue to assist in purchasing more playground equipment. The Park is open to all abilities and ages. There are events planned for everyone to participate. The Realtors Association of the Palm Beaches is a co- sponsor. No one else coming forward, Mayor Taylor closed public audience 5. ADMINISTRATIVE A. Appoint eligible members of the community to serve in vacant positions on City advisory boards. The following openings exist: Arts Commission: 1 regular and 2 alternates Building Board of Adjustment and Appeals: 2 regulars and 2 alternates Cemetery Board: 1 alternate Education & Youth Advisory Board: 2 alternates, 1 student and 1 student NN Financial Advisory Committee: 2 regular and 2 alternates Library Board 2 alternates Recreation and Parks Board 1 regular and 2 alternates Planning and Development Board: 1 regular Senior Advisory Board: 1 alternate Veterans Advisory Commission 2 alternates There were no applicants to be appointed. B. Consider areas of study for the Financial Advisory Committee (FAC) for the upcoming year. Steven Grant, 136 NE 3rd Avenue, Chair of the Financial Advisory Committee, reported the Committee has all new members. He understood the Committee was established to 6 January 7, 2014 Meeting Minutes Regular City Commission Boynton Beach, FL January 7, 2014 assist in cutting costs during the recession. In view of the increase in value of the tax base, the focus of the Committee has shifted. Commissioner Fitzpatrick had submitted a suggestion to create an umbrella organization for non - profits to conduct business. The task could be undertaken if deemed appropriate. The main task is the City survey to ask the residents and business owners for their input on how the City can better itself. Another topic of discussion has been how to use the available resources for the best use. It would encompass any vacant land, vacant properties and alternative energies as revenue sources. Mr Grant requested direction from the Commission on topics for the Committee's review Commissioner Fitzpatrick recalled it was very difficult for projects to find a non - profit organization willing to assist in raising funds. As the revenues from fundraising increases, a dispute of how the money is spent surfaces. He suggested there be a foundation already established, that would be immediately available to vet short-lived non - profit groups that could move quickly and devote their energy to fundraising rather than organizing. Commissioner Casello inquired if the Committee had reviewed or discussed the proposal and Mr. Grant advised it was just received. Mayor Taylor suggested the idea be reviewed and discussed by the Committee and then report back to the Commission. Vice Mayor Hay recalled the purpose of the Committee was for advice only, rather than duties and responsibilities or activities. He did not feel it would be a good match to proceed with the idea through the Financial Advisory Committee. Mr. Grant proposed the scope of the Committee may have to be redesigned to assist the City. It is a group of volunteers with the main goal of assisting the City Commission in making informed decisions He wanted to know if some type of raffle or prize could be used to encourage responses to the City survey, if allowed. Attorney Tolces advised it would have to be carefully researched. There are various statutory issues in the State statutes and Palm Beach County Code of Ethics that would need to be considered. Mayor Taylor agreed the original goal was to advise the Commission on financial matters. He concluded the Committee would review the proposal and then come back to the Commission with a recommendation whether to proceed or not. Another matter that could be investigated was the review of vacant lands and buildings and their potential uses Mr. Grant agreed to investigate that topic with the Committee. 7 Meeting Minutes Regular City Commission Boynton Beach, FL Other possibilities were evaluate energy sources for the City and potential funding. Commissioner Casello offered it should be studied and possible alternatives brought back to the Commission for review and legal analysis. The ten topics currently listed were all good topics for consideration. Vice Mayor Hay thought the Committee could work in conjunction with City staff and the survey to determine the City services that need to be added or eliminated and the goals of various other boards. Mr. Grant contended the Committee could be the liaison between the residents, business owners and the City. The Committee would like to undertake that task to perhaps reduce costs for City services. Ms. LaVerriere shared that Eleanor Krusell, Communications Manager, has expanded the use of social media to inform the public. She encouraged Mr. Grant to work with Ms. Krusell in terms of the survey and marketing the existence of the survey to garner a greater response. The City could work with the Chamber of Commerce and the Community Redevelopment Agency to engage local businesses to promote the survey. Commissioner Fitzpatrick remarked evaluating alternative energy sources and potential funding has been covered by the sustainability and Climate Action Plan. Carisse LeJeune, Assistant City Manager, added alternative energy sources have been identified in the climate action plan. It is not an implementation action item at this time. Some efforts have been accomplished with solar panels and wind turbines. Grant money had been utilized. She was open to obtaining more information on any cost efficiencies that could be realized with alternative energy sources. 6. CONSENT AGENDA Motion 8 January 7, 2014 Matters in this section of the Agenda are proposed and recommended by the City Manager for "Consent Agenda" approval of the action indicated in each item, with all of the accompanying material to become a part of the Public Record and subject to staff comments Vice Mayor Hay moved to pull Item 6.H for discussion. Commissioner Casello seconded the motion. Vote The motion passed unanimously. A. Approve the purchase and installation of new flooring in the City Clerk's Office Suite, Hester Center Gym Office, Senior Center Back Classroom, and Customer Service Areas in the amount of $33,355.41 from Shaw Industries based on State of Florida Alternate Contract Source #360- 240 -12 -1 NJPA. Meeting Minutes Regular City Commission Boynton Beach, FL B. PROPOSED RESOLUTION NO. R14 -001 - Approve and authorize signing of an Agreement for Water Service outside the City Limits with Esmeralda Digiovanni for the property at 7851 Griswold St, Lantana, FL. C. Accept the FY 2012 -13 Budget Status Report of the General Fund & Utility Fund for the twelve (12) month period ended September 30, 2013 (unaudited). D. PROPOSED RESOLUTION NO. R14 -002 - Assess the cost of nuisance abatement on properties within the City of Boynton Beach E Approve the Information Technology Services (ITS) Department 2013 -2017 Strategic Plan The item was pulled for the ITS Department to make a presentation John McNally, Manager of the Information Technology Services Department, introduced the Strategic Plan as a way to educate and inform the Commission on the current status of technology and future needs. The Plan enabled the Department to outline the current technology and establish an inventory. The short and long term needs can be defined and prioritized. The Plan can guide budgetary considerations and provide a framework for future technology decisions. The process involved review of any previous plans, external environments and best practices being used, technology trends and their application to the needs of the City of Boynton Beach. The internal environment was assessed and the needs of each department were evaluated along with the systems presently being utilized and any issues. The City's overall goals and strategic plans were reviewed to align with the Department's mission in the bigger picture. The results were formulated into the strategic plan with the last step being an annual review and update of the strategic plan. It was discovered that some major infrastructure needs to be upgraded or replaced. The phone system is outdated and past its end of life. Some servers and storage is reaching end of life cycle and will be a capital budget expense for future years. There is an enterprise software that Tacks features the internal customers need. It is somewhat cumbersome and does not have reporting features to the point some departments have migrated away from the system because it did not fit their needs The goal is to search for efficiencies and complete initiatives to use technology to improve work flow. The IVR system is a strategic need for several departments including Customer Relations and will help automate their process and possibly assist the Development Department with permitting and approval processes. Training and education for staff is needed to allow staff to better use the existing technology and keep current on the features of new technology. A major project 9 January 7, 2014 Meeting Minutes Regular City Commission Boynton Beach, FL January 7, 2014 underway is the replacement of the telephone system throughout the enterprise. The HTE system is being reviewed to find out if there are better ways to utilize its many features or consider replacing the entire system. The business needs of some of the new systems to create the desired efficiencies would be monitored. Finally, the Plan should be reviewed on a regular basis to evaluate the progress being made and address any opportunities that may arise for improvement in each and every department. It was anticipated to be done before the budget cycle began. Vice Mayor Hay inquired if the 9 -1 -1 emergency equipment was controlled by the ITS Department and Mr. McNally advised the Police Department has a technology services division that supports Communications. Ms. LaVerriere added it was necessary due to access to confidential information and crime reporting certifications required. Mr. McNally interjected there is collaboration with the same goals and objectives to provide the resources the customers need Commissioner Casello asked if the radio equipment had been moved to Fire Station #5. Mr. McNally was aware of an existing construction project that was underway. Ms. LaVerriere inserted it should be completed in the next few months Commissioner Fitzpatrick was happy with the areas addressed. He wanted to know if the Wi -Fi in City Hall was operational. Mr. McNally acknowledged there was a limited deployment of Wi -Fi that included the Chambers and portions of the West Wing. There would be 12 new access points available at City Hall and other municipal buildings. Commissioner Fitzpatrick had heard of issues with the SunGard - Naviline system, but understood it was expensive to replace. Ms. LaVerriere estimated the replacement cost would be $500,000. Further research and analysis was needed before any changes were initiated. Commissioner Fitzpatrick inquired on the status and use of electronic tablets. Ms. LeJeune reported it was going to be considered when PC replacement in each department was addressed. Department heads would need to make a determination of the need for the purposes of budgeting. Ms. LaVerriere advised the building inspectors are on IPAD rather than a tablet device. The IPAD devices do create compatibility issues with some software that are Microsoft driven If efficiencies can be achieved, it is an opportunity to use the mobile devices. Commissioner Fitzpatrick proposed the projection system in chambers be improved to allow items and information to be displayed from laptops or tablets during the meeting. Commissioner Merker surmised in a couple years the IPAD technology would be compatible with the software. Mr. McNally commented the SunGard enterprise system 1 0 Meeting Minutes Regular City Commission Boynton Beach, FL January 7, 2014 has specific requirements for software needed to run the process and IPAD is not compatible. Mayor Taylor thanked the ITS Department for their Strategic Plan and work effort. The technical expertise of the Department affects all other departments Motion Vice Mayor Hay moved to approve Item E. Commissioner Casello seconded the motion Vote The motion passed unanimously. F. PROPOSED RESOLUTION NO. R14 -003 - Approve and authorize the City Manager to sign a Three Year Contract between Kenneth A. Scheppke, M.D., P.A. of Tequesta, Florida and the City of Boynton Beach for "A Three Year Contract for Medical Director to Oversee Emergency Medical Services provided by Fire Rescue and Ocean Rescue "; RFP No. 015 - 2210- 14 /JMA for the annual amounts of $26,568 for Year 1; $27,360 for Year 2; and $28,200 for Year 3; totaling $82,128 for the three (3) year contract. G. Approve the minutes from the Regular City Commission meeting held on December 17, 2013 H. PROPOSED RESOLUTION NO. R14 -004 - Authorize the City Manager to enter into an agreement with Carol Dutra Ellis, Esquire, to provide Special Magistrate Services to hear cases for violations against the City Code at the agreed rate of $100 per hour for a one -year term, with the option to renew for three additional one -year periods Item H had been pulled as requested for public input. David Katz, 67 Midwood Lane, did not feel it was appropriate to have a non - resident paid $100 per hour to decide Code Compliance issues when a Board of residents of the City had been used for years. There have been very few appeals of Board decisions filed The Board worked well with staff. He asserted it was a mistake to shift the responsibility to a private party and the Code Compliance Board should be kept intact. Mark Karageorge, 240A Main Boulevard, echoed the previous remarks. He had served on the Code Compliance Board for three and a half years. The Board members have worked and lived in the City, some their entire lives. Legal advice is assigned to the Board Mr. Karageorge contended it was not appropriate to pay someone to do work 11 Meeting Minutes Regular City Commission Boynton Beach, FL that volunteers with many years of experience were already doing. They knew the neighborhoods and understood the history of the area. Mr. Karageorge felt the proposed changed was wrong. Dr. Piotr Blass, 113 West Tara Lakes Drive, emphatically agreed. He contended the decisions about Boynton should be kept within Boynton. It is the Monroe Doctrine in history and would strengthen the City. The proposal is not a good idea. Commissioner Casello was under the impression the change would speed up the proceedings and remove the emotion from the decisions. In the short time he has been on the Commission, there have been at least six, if not eight cases for lien reduction brought before the Commission. An unbiased, third party that is legally astute would improve the handling of the cases and remove the emotional aspects. It will gradually save money and time Motion Commissioner Merker moved to approve Vice Mayor Hay seconded the motion. Vote The motion passed unanimously. Mayor Taylor had pulled both Items 6.1 and 6.J that he addressed together The Items are the bargaining agreements for the Blue Collar and White Collar workers. Mayor Taylor commented many of the workers had not received a pay increase for three or four years and the Commission attempted to rectify the issue. The millage rate was raised so some increase could be given to the employees in appreciation of their work. A 3% increase was agreed upon and he commended the White and Blue Collar Unions and their members for accepting the 3% proposal. Motion 12 January 7, 2014 I. PROPOSED RESOLUTION NO.
