WELCOME
Thank you for attending the City Commission Meeting
GENERAL RULES & PROCEDURES FOR PUBLIC PARTICIPATION AT
CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH COMMISSION MEETINGS
THE AGENDA:
There is an official agenda for every meeting of the City Commissioners, which
determines the order of business conducted at the meeting. The City Commission will
not take action upon any matter, proposal, or item of business, which is not listed upon
the official agenda, unless a majority of the Commission has first consented to the
presentation for consideration and action.
Consent Agenda Items:
These are items which the Commission does not need to
discuss individually and which are voted on as a group.
Regular Agenda Items:
These are items which the Commission will discuss individually
in the order listed on the agenda.
Voice Vote:
A voice vote by the Commission indicates approval of the agenda item.
This can be by either a regular voice vote with "Ayes & Nays" or by a roll call vote.
SPEAKING AT COMMISSION MEETINGS:
The public is encouraged to offer comment to the Commission at their meetings during Public
Hearings, Public Audience, and on any regular agenda item, as hereinafter described.
City Commission meetings are business meetings and, as such, the Commission retains the

your name and address.
DECORUM:
Any person who disputes the meeting while addressing the Commission may be ordered by the
presiding officer to cease further comments and/or to step down from the podium. Failure to
discontinue comments or step down when so ordered shall be treated as a continuing disruption
of the public meeting. An order by the presiding officer issued to control the decorum of the
meeting is binding, unless over-ruled by the majority vote of the Commission members present.

EQUESTED CTION BY ITY OMMISSION
Approve and authorize the City Manager and City Clerk to execute a proposal acceptance
FAS2240 with Champion Solutions Group of Boca Raton, FL to purchase Netapp FAS2240
Storage Area Network (SAN) based on piggy-backing the State of Florida Contract #250-000-09-
1 in the amount of $76,788.
ER:
XPLANATION OF EQUEST
The City purchases centralized disk systems to connect to our networks and servers
and meet our customers’ needs for data storage. Our Storage Area Networks (SAN)
are over 5 years old and are at their end of life (EOL). Once the SAN has passed its
EOL, the City will no longer receive hardware or software support from the
manufacturer. A SAN component failure would cause a major outage to our server
systems and leave our internal customers (staff) without the ability to perform many of
their job functions.
The I.T.S. Department has selected the NetApp FAS2240 SAN to replace this aging
component of our infrastructure. The Champion Solutions Group solution was selected
from a group of ten separate vendor proposals that were requested. Of the ten vendor
proposals, the Champion Solutions Group provided the proposal for the NetApp
FAS2240 SAN, which has the best combination of storage and features for our
environment, and yet priced within our budget.
H?
OW WILL THIS AFFECT CITY PROGRAMS OR SERVICES
The replacement of our existing SAN with the NetApp FAS2240 SAN will ensure that
the City is able to provide reliable and efficient data storage for our customers.
27 of 231
FI:
ISCAL MPACT
Champion Solutions Group/NetApp is on the State of Florida’s “State Contract Pricing”
structure (contract # 250-000-09-1), but has also provided the City with a cost savings
above and beyond their committed price. The proposed SAN solution would normally be
priced at $91,588.88 under the State Contract pricing structure. Champion Solutions
Group/NetApp is providing the City with an additional discount of $14,800.88, and
offering the SAN solution at the price of $76,788.
The SAN replacement project has been approved during this year’s fiscal budget with
$80,000 listed in the CIP account 302-4101-580-64.15.
A:
LTERNATIVES
An alternative could be to forego the replacement of the Dell/EMC SAN’s for this fiscal
year. However, this will put the City operations in jeopardy in the event that one of the
SAN’s fails and we are unable to get support from the manufacturer.

EQUESTED CTION BY ITY OMMISSION
Authorize the City Manager to sign an agreement with SeeClickFix, Inc., of New Haven, CT, for a
cloud-based 311/Citizen Reporting Service for a one time start-up fee of $1,000 and an annual
fee of $8,000 for year 1 and year 2. Successive years may be renewed with a not-to-exceed
amount of 5% over the previous year's fee.
ER:
XPLANATION OF EQUEST
The ITS Team solicited prospective vendors for quotes to provide a new citizen
reporting system (also known as 311 system). The new service will provide the
capability for citizens to report issues to the City, which will get routed to the correct
department, receive proper attention from City staff, and allow the citizen to keep track
of the issue via the same portal, email or text. The system will provide users with a web
interface, as well as the ability to create and track requests using “app” stores on most
smartphone and tablet devices.
After participating in several vendor demonstrations and internal discussions/reviews
with staff, SeeClickFix (www.SeeClickFix.com) was selected based on their features
and price ($8,000 per year for the first two years, with a $1,000 one-time startup cost).
H?
OW WILL THIS AFFECT CITY PROGRAMS OR SERVICES
SeeClickFix is a cloud-based service application which eliminates the need for the City
to install or maintain internal infrastructure or perform software upgrades. The service
allows our citizens access to the SeeClickFix portal from any Internet-based device.
SeeClickFix is an established vendor in the citizen service/reporting community, with
69 of 231
similar service installations in cities such as Chicago, Houston, and Washington, D.C.
This new two-way communication tool will replace our legacy system (CAS – Citizen
Action System) which was implemented in 2004, is years past its end-of-life, is no
longer supported by its vendor, is not covered by a maintenance contract, and does not
fulfil the needs of a technically connected community.
The ITS department will keep the CAS systems online for one year after the
implementation of the SeeClickFix system. This will allow a year of data to be collected,
and used as “history” on the new system moving forward. After one year, the CAS
system will be decommissioned.
FI:
ISCAL MPACT
This project is funded in the I.T.S. Department’s account “Other Contractual Services”
(001-1510-513.49-17).
A:
LTERNATIVES
Continue to utilize the CAS system, even though it is no longer supported by its vendor.
In the event of a system failure, we would not be able to rely on the system being
repaired
Two other vendor’s services were evaluated, but were not as feature-rich or as cost-
effective as our preferred selection:
CitySourced - $9,000/year; $2,000 one-time startup cost
PublicStuff - $11,4000/year; no startup cost

Amount of $58,000 for Urban Design and Planning Services for the Town Square Area
ER:
The City and CRA recently undertook strategic planning exercises
XPLANATION OF EQUEST
to help develop the direction for the City in next five years. Top priorities that came out of these
sessions were direction for the Old High School and City Hall. A high priority listed was the
Downtown Vision and Master Plan Update. (See Attached Page from Draft Strategic Plan) The
decisions of what happens to the Old High School and City Hall and the entire Town Square
area will determine what updates will go into the Downtown Master Plan.
To help the Commission with these decisions from a space and urban planning perspective, the
CRA budgeted, as part of its 2013/2014 fiscal year, funds to cover this cost. Staff spoke to the
Treasure Coast Regional Planning Councils (TCRPC) Urban Design Director, Dana Little, who
performed a site visit. The scope of work was developed between the City, CRA and TCRPC.
Because the TCRPC is a government agency, the CRA and City are not required to issue a
Request for Proposal and can enter into an interlocal agreement for these services.
On January 14, 2014, the CRA Board approved the interlocal agreement.

Repair Services", Bid No. 007-2821-14/DJL to CROM Engineering and Construction Services
(CROM) of Gainesville, FL as the lowest, most responsive, responsible bidder for $44,840.00.
ER:
On November 1, 2013 the City of Boynton Beach advertised
XPLANATION OF EQUEST
an Invitation to Bid for “Ground Storage Tank Repair Services”, Bid No. 007-2821-
14/DJL. Bids were opened publicly on December 4, 2013. Two (2) bids were received
and reviewed by Utility staff. CROM Engineering was identified as the low bidder.
Based on staff’s review of the bids, Procurement/Finance and the Utilities Department
recommend awarding the bid to CROM Engineering as the lowest, responsive,
responsible bidder.
In accordance with 62-555.350(2), F.A.C. the water storage tanks within the City of
Boynton Beach’s (City) distribution system must be inspected and cleaned at least once
every 5 years. Cleanings and inspections are required to verify structural and coating
integrity, and must be performed by personnel under the responsible charge of a
professional engineer licensed in Florida as per said Code. Thus, the City utilized
CROM Engineering and Construction Services, being the original engineer and builder
of the structures, to perform the initial inspections of the water storage tanks. Said
cleaning and inspection of the storage tanks were already performed. Subsequently,
CROM issued a report on each tank noting several items that should be addressed to
avoid the possibility of future problems.
93 of 231
As a result, the City requires repair services to address the items outlined in the report
that will help to preserve the integrity of each structure while ensuring the reliability and
safety of the water distribution system.
H?
The City’s ground storage tanks
OW WILL THIS AFFECT CITY PROGRAMS OR SERVICES
are critical infrastructure as they are designed to reduce pressure fluctuations in the
distribution system and provide adequate pressure to consumers,equalize water
demands, and provide reserves for firefighting, power outages and other emergencies.
Therefore, it is vital that the City perform these repairs in order to protect the integrity of
each structure, and ensure continuity of services that could potentially cause economic
backlash to the City.

a total approved increase of $38,249.19.

On November 5, 2013, Commission awarded Bid No. 003-
XPLANATION OF EQUEST
1810-14/JMA to McTeague Construction Company as the lowest, most responsive,
responsible bidder for the renovation of existing space within Fire Station 5 to create a
new police dispatch area for a total approved amount of $53,019.00, including
$4,820.00 of contingency.
The City has approved change order #1 ($3,359.23) and has approved it
administratively from the original contingency and staff has received change order #2
($2,137.83) request which will exceed the approved contingency amount by $677.06
and requires Commission approval.
The City has approved several separate items relating to the renovation project in the
Communications Center in Fire Station 5 in addition to this purchase order. As a result
of this project Palm Beach County will utilize the center as a Public Safety Access Point
(PSAP) and the County has agreed to reimburse the City for dispatch consoles and
lockers through the Emergency Communications Number E911 System Fund.
199 of 231
As part of the original design, bid and award the City intended to utilize the existing
cabling from the original building construction to the extent possible to accommodate
the needed renovation.
We are now in the construction phase and after inspection by County E911, staff was
informed that additional electrical modifications are necessary for each console to
qualify for reimbursement. Essentially, we are proposing to install further
redundancy/backup than what was originally contemplated. It is important to note that
these are required additions to the scope of work. Basically the intended re-use of
existing cabling from the original building construction was not sufficient for PBC in
order for the County to be able to utilize the center as a PSAP. Based on the County
E911 inspection staff has negotiated with the existing contractor what we believe to be a
reasonable cost for the required additional work.
The work shall include 52 electrical runs, data cabling, and electrical grounding work
required to properly configure the new Communications Center. The breakdown for the
electrical runs and cable runs is as follows:
32 runs for the proper installation of 2 OP820 electrical panels. Each one of
these panels have 8 outlets on their own circuit, each of which requires 2
electrical cable runs back to the electrical panels located in the Data Center for a
total of 32 power runs. These outlets are configured this way so that if one of the
circuits trip, then that only brings down one radio console as opposed to all of
them. Having these consoles and equipment on separate circuits allows
maintenance to be done on individual pieces of equipment without bringing down
the entire center. Additionally, doing it this way makes the Communications
Center Motorola R56 compliant, which is the Motorola’s required configuration for
Public Safety installations and ensures that all sensitive equipment is properly
protected.
The 10 workstations in the center each need 2 power runs back to the electrical
panels (20 total) to accommodate the power for the motors that are part of the
furniture for each Dispatch workstation. This need was learned after contracting
for furniture.
The Intrado 911 system will be moved from the City Data Center to the secure
Public Safety data center per Palm Beach County 911 requirements. This
requires 2 individual circuits to maintain redundancy and ensure the 911 system
remains up and running.
Each of the 10 workstations require 12 data cables to accommodate the Motorola
Radio Console, Fire Station Alerting System, 911/Phone system, and Computer
Aided Dispatch system.
Proper grounding needs to be installed to protect all the equipment from power
surges caused by spikes and/or lightning strikes.
H?
These improvements will allow

more efficient operation, maintenance, and reliability for the new communications
center.

Discussion for consideration of modifying City Hall
EQUESTED CTION BY ITY OMMISSION
Office Hours
ER:
The City Commission has asked to review the City Hall
XPLANATION OF EQUEST
public access hours which are currently 7:00 am to 6:00 pm, Monday to Thursday.
The current office schedule was adopted beginning June 8, 2009 as part of a number of
city wide budget reductions proposed for the FY 2009/10 City Budget. The move to the
compressed work schedule was projected to save nearly $140,000 annually and proved
to be a reasonable estimate based upon actual measurements. The savings included
reductions in electric expense of nearly $80,000 at City Hall and $10,000 at the Library
(open one day less per week). Vehicle fuel savings accounted for around $17,000 and
voluntary reductions in staff working hours was near $11,000. Other fleet and utility
expenses comprised the remainder of projected savings but were more difficult to
quantify.
In addition to cost savings, the City found reduction in its carbon footprint, a critical
component of our Climate Action Plan. For example, our electric bills showed an
annual reduction of 328,000 kwh, slightly more than a 20% reduction from 2008 levels.
Furthermore nearly 7,300 gallons of vehicle fuel was saved per year.
The compressed work schedule was favorably received by some customers that chose
to utilize early/late Building Department office hours. Others benefited by being able
utilize Utilities Customer Service functions during those times of the day. These early
225 of 231
hours were gained through the elimination of working hours on Fridays. Some
customers were disappointed in the lack of Friday office hours.
Obviously, we achieved our goals in 2009. Per direction by the City Commission at the
January 21, 2014 Regular City Commission meeting, we provide the following impacts
of returning to a five-day schedule.
Impacts of Reinstating a Traditional Five-Day Work Week
Electricity:
Staff estimates an increase between $50,000 and $60,000 (use
$55,000). This increase is less than the original estimate as a result of other
positive changes made in City Hall such as installation of more efficient
fluorescent bulbs and motions sensing switches.
Fuel:
Staff estimates an increase of around $20,000 for fuel. Although fuel
consumption will increase proportionally the cost is slightly higher as a result of
increased fuel costs.
Other Vehicle Costs:
These costs are difficult to calculate and are not included.
Personnel:
Personnel costs, including wage and benefits would increase
around $10,000. It should also be noted that some employees chose to reduce
their work hours (38) with the 4/10 schedule mostly to allow them to either come
in at 7:30 am or leave at 5:30 pm because of family obligations. We anticipate
these employees will go back to the 40 hour work schedule.
Office Hours:
Should the City Commission wish to return to a five-day work
week, staff recommends City Hall office hours from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm to be
consistent with the majority of surrounding communities. Staff recommends this
become effective on Monday, June 9, 2014 so that employees with day care
needs can complete this school year and sufficient notice be given to all
employee groups.
Climate Action Plan:
The reductions achieved in energy consumption in both
electricity and fuel will need to be offset elsewhere.
Staff has not included evaluation of Library hours in this report. Assessment of Library
operating hours is more complex, particularly considering the impact on staffing levels.
Should the Commission wish to explore revising the Library operating hours staff then
recommends direction be given to research alternatives for the FY 2014/15 Budget as a
matter separate from this agenda item.
H?
Return to a five-day work week will
OW WILL THIS AFFECT CITY PROGRAMS OR SERVICES
expand City office hours to once again provide services on Fridays. In exchange for this
additional day of open services, existing hours from 7:00 am to 8:00 am and from 5:00
pm to 6:00 pm will be eliminated.
