C. PROPOSED RESOLUTION NO. R14 -114 - Approve amendment #1 to the
interlocal agreement between Palm Beach County and the City of Boynton
Beach; Agreement #R2013 -0166 for Oyer Park Boat Access Channel
Dredging revising the completion date from November 30, 2014 to September
1, 2015.
Commissioner Fitzpatrick requested staff explain the program and the funding sources.
Jeff Livergood, Director of Public Works and Engineering, explained, over a year ago,
an interlocal agreement with Palm Beach County enabled the channel to be dredged
from the boat ramps at Oyer Park to the Intracoastal water way. The County was doing
work in the area and some economy of scale was gained by having the County do the
work for the City. They bid the work, designed the job and permitted the work. The City
of Boynton Beach pays for the cubic yards that are excavated. The agreement was
being done to ensure the completion dates with the contractors would coincide with the
County's agreement with the contractor. Mr. Livergood estimated that 30% to 40% was
saved by entering into the agreement. Commissioner Fitzpatrick surmised the
agreement was a goodwill gesture from the County. If the County Commission became
irritated for throwing a gift back in their face, this agreement could be terminated.
Commissioner Fitzpatrick reiterated his request that the 4.5 acres at Lake Ida should be
bought from the County, so this program or similar programs are not in jeopardy.
Commissioner Merker understood it was done regularly and a plus for the City of
Boynton Beach.
Motion
Commissioner Merker moved to approve Item 6.C. Commissioner McCray seconded
the motion.

Commissioner Fitzpatrick pointed out this was another Interlocal Agreement with the
County helping the City of Boynton Beach. Wally Majors, Director of Recreation and
Parks, noted it was a program funded through the County's Drowning Prevention
Coalition that provides vouchers for children to have access to free swimming lessons.
Ms. LaVerriere added approximately 150 children participate in the program.
Commissioner Fitzpatrick asserted the goodwill of the County was necessary to keep
the program viable for Boynton Beach children.

behalf of the City of Boynton Beach. To meet the submittal deadline, staff has

F. PROPOSED RESOLUTION NO. R14 -117 - Approve the Interlocal Agreement
between the City of Boynton Beach and Palm Beach County for participation in
the Drowning Prevention Coalition's (DPC) Learn to Swim Program, which
provides vouchers to the public that may be redeemed for swimming lessons
at the John Denson Pool.
Commissioner McCray recognized the citizens of Boynton Beach pay money to the
County in taxes. It is not really goodwill. The residents are getting a return on their
investment. Mayor Taylor added the County shares with all cities.
Vote
The motion passed unanimously.
November 18, 2014
G. PROPOSED RESOLUTION NO. R14 -118 - Authorize the City Manager to
sign Interlocal Agreement with Palm Beach County reference the City
maintaining interoperability with its radio system and the County's. The County
is replacing its public safety radio system with one that is APCO P25
compliant. If the City wants to maintain the interoperability it currently has it
needs to move forward with replacing its current radio system with an APCO
P25 compliant one as well.
Vice Mayor Casello asked if the request coordinates with the future radio acquisition.
Ms. LaVerriere noted the City would partner with Palm Beach County, Boca Raton and
Delray Beach to jointly fund the hiring of a consultant to do a needs assessment and
financial analysis to migrate to a new system.

MEETING MINUTES
REGULAR CITY COMMISSION
BOYNTON BEACH, FL
November 18, 2014
Vice Mayor Casello inquired, if the P25 would be an entire new system. The Palm
Beach County Facilities Development and Operations Director advised a vendor neutral
RFP (Request for Proposal) was being developed for new technology using non-
proprietary protocols so there is greater interoperability in the event of mutual
communication. Multiple vendors could be utilized.
It was understood each City would have to buy the new equipment. The new
equipment should be selected with the intent to continue to use the County's main brain,
but the City could buy from another vendor and use their own equipment. The goal
would be to maintain the interoperability.
Vice Mayor Casello questioned if the fire or police dispatch would be County run, would
the County pay the expense for the new system. It was explained that each of the four
types of dispatch would be a separate decision the Commission would have to make. If
centralized dispatch is decided, the County would own the radios. Each City would
have to make decisions on replacing their own radio system. The actual subscriber
radios are not part of the request before the Commission; rather the network and
system towers. The cost would have to be negotiated.
Commissioner Fitzpatrick surmised there would be open protocol and if different
systems were used, interoperability would be maintained.
Commissioner McCray asked if the money had been budgeted for the request. Ms.
LaVerriere replied the $12.50 monies from tickets would be utilized for the expense of
the study. The needs and financial assessment has to be completed and then the
budgeting done quickly for the next few years. It was anticipated the information would
be available for budgeting the next fiscal year.
Vice Mayor Casello understood the Fire Chief was concerned with delays in dispatching
if the County was utilized, but felt there should be an assessment of the possibility of
using the County for dispatching. The anticipated cost of $2.5 million could be avoided
if County dispatch were utilized. Commissioner McCray agreed all options should be
investigated.
Commissioner Merker requested input from Chief Carter who advised there were clear
differences between the two systems. The protocols are not the same. The other
dispatch systems would remain with the City as the primary answering point. The calls
would then have to transfer from the City, to the County before the local units would be
dispatched, adding an additional step. Chief Carter understood the request was simply
for a study to be undertaken.
Vice Mayor Casello reiterated his suggestion that an assessment of the possibility of
change be investigated. Chief Carter indicated other cities use the County, but the main

back to the local units.
Mayor Taylor contended the discussions could be undertaken after the requested study
is completed.

cons of going to the County with the dispatch system. Commissioner Fitzpatrick

services agreement with BroadbandOne, LLC, d /b /a Host.net for colocation
services in the amount of $500.00 a month for 36 months.
I. PROPOSED RESOLUTION NO. R14 -120 - Approve resolution strongly
objecting to recent action taken by the Palm Beach County Board of County
Commissioners to withdraw Palm Beach County from the Treasure Coast
Regional Planning Council and to request membership in the South Florida
Regional Planning Council instead; and strongly supporting the County's
continued membership in the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council
Commissioner Merker asked why the County had withdrawn from the Treasurer Coast
Council that had done a nice job for the City of Boynton Beach. Ms. LaVerriere reported
most municipalities were not in favor of the action of the County. There has been a
thriving partnership with the Treasure Coast Council who has done a downtown
redevelopment plan, helped obtain grants and assisted with Land Development
Regulations for the City of Boynton Beach.

created. Nancy Byrne, Director of Development, indicated the owners were present and
could give an overview of their venture.
Two representatives came forward and expressed their appreciation for allowing the
business to open in the community and the potential grant. Both gentlemen had over
15 years each in the brewery business. They felt Boynton Beach was a great location
and central to the region with available space. High -end equipment was purchased to
build a quality, scalable, long -term business.
There will be four to six manufacturing positions in the first year. Jobs will be created
for cleaning functions up to those with chemistry backgrounds. The tap room will employ
eight to ten staff. State -wide distribution in the future is the ultimate goal that will need

$1,004,304.96, in accordance with the attached agreement.
Motion
Vice Mayor Casello moved to approve the Resolution. Commissioner McCray
seconded the motion.
Vice Mayor Casello voiced concern with the five year commitment. He suggested
leasing may be a better approach. Ms. LaVerriere explained it was the enterprise
system that runs the City's financial system. It would cost $500,000 to leave the current
system. It has been a tremendous investment and the vendor would not change for
another five years due to the cost for an entire new system. The implementation of a
new system would take two years. A one or two year contract would be more
expensive for annual maintenance. Five year increments have been used in the past.

Commissioner Fitzpatrick sought clarification on the location of this phase of the project.
Colin Groff, Utilities Director, indicated it was the third phase running from west of
Congress Avenue on Woolbright Road and drilled under the canal, CSX Railroad and I-
95 to the Little League Park and ties into the existing system. The cost was negotiated
because much of the expanse is drilled and not open cut pipe with a much shorter

construction will be bid separately with a budget of over $8 million.
