Leon Jenkins, 16049 Rio Del Sol in Delray Beach, wanted to discuss the demolition of
a property he owned at 132 NW Martin Luther King Boulevard. It is a financial crisis for
Mr, Jenkins. He distributed three photos of the property in question. Mr. Jenkins
admitted he had missed the January 12 deadline to come into compliance. He
disagreed with the assessment and the inappropriate deadline due to extenuating
circumstances. Mr. Jenkins had filed an appeal to the Building Board of Adjustments
and Appeal and was given until January 12 . The permits were issued on December

19 and Mr. Jenkins and his contractors pursued the work diligently. He had less than
three weeks to complete the work with the holidays. During that time the City was
moving forward with demolition plans. The building does have a lien that is with the
same lender Mr. Jenkins has for his home, that could be problematic. Mr. Jenkins
requested more time to complete the work.
Harry Woodworth, 685 NE 15 Place, the newly elected president of the Inlet Cove
Association (INCA) gave an overview of the community and association. It is a
voluntary association chartered for over 20 years and represents over 9 waterfront
communities east of Federal Highway and north of Boynton Beach Boulevard with
approximately 500 households. Their goal is to encourage the residents to participate
in their community, engage in activities and proactively work with the City and its
functions. The issues currently being monitored were the progress along North Federal
Highway including Yachtsman Cove Plaza, the double rows of poles existing in the
area, trash at the bus stops and the ongoing drainage issues. Mr. Woodworth
introduced the officers of the association who were present and thanked the
Commission for their support.
Commissioner McCray reported Yachtsman's Cove Plaza had been sold and the
tenants given a time period to vacate.
Betty Pierce -Roe, 637 Oak Street, was a current member of the Recreation and Parks
Board and announced the 3rd Annual Barrier Free 5K charity walk and run on Saturday,
February 14 commencing at 7:30 a.m. The proceeds would go toward the expansion
of the park. Various walking levels would be competing. Ms. Pierce -Roe also offered
the assistance of - the Recreation and Parks Board on the Lake Ida Park property.
Vice Mayor Casello had participated in the event last year and hoped there would be
increased participation this year.
Cheryl Black, 321 SW 1 st Avenue, noted 11 trees were removed from her property after
it was made clear to the contractor that the property owner had not given permission for
the removal. The sidewalk area that was pushed up had no stress cracks. The
sidewalk was removed after the pipes were installed and the tree roots were never cut.
The trees had been there for 50 years and were trimmed 10 feet from - the sidewalk and
were maintained. The trees were 127 feet from her home and created no hazard to her
or the neighborhood. Many trees in the area are against Code and have not been
removed from private property. Ms. Black asserted her home and her trees were
targeted and she wasted 15 years of her life because the City destroyed her oasis.
Other homeowners have the same issues and the City worked around their trees. A
decision has not been made on the replacement trees or landscaping to restore her
property. Ms. Black wanted mature trees and her sound /sight dirt barrier and shade.
There was a driveway apron installed in her front yard by the City.

Vice Mayor Casello understood there were issues and he hoped a remedy could be
found.
Suzanne Ross, Schoolhouse Children's Museum, gave an update showing December
was a strong month. Over the previous year there was an overall increase in visitation
of 12.7%, admission income increased 8.3% and there are 489 member families
enjoying the facility and programs, being a 20% increase in membership. There were
new partnership opportunities for 2015 including the Legal Aid Society and JCC of
Boynton Beach, both hosting events at the museum. February 28 would be the
Schoolhouse Reunion bash. Former students and supporters would gather for both day
and evening events beginning at 10 am. Vice Mayor Casello expressed appreciation
for Ms. Ross's efforts.
Minister Bernard Wright, 713 NW 2nd Street, thanked the Commission for their
support and suggested preparation for Martin Luther King Day festivities be done earlier
for a bigger and better event. Mr. Wright supported Mr. Jenkins' efforts to retain his
property and rehab the building that is 90% completed. Demolition would be a financial
burden on the owners and the CRA would purchase the property for less. He was
pleading with the Commission to stop the demolition and resolve the issue for the
benefit of the citizens.
Doug Brueggernann, 713 SE 4 th Street, shared his gratitude from the Seacrest Estates
neighborhood for installing a new grill. The Forest Park Association thanked
Commissioner Fitzpatrick for participating in the neighborhood meetings. He thanked
Jeff Katz for allowing Officer Swan to attend the meetings and Liz Roschek from animal
control who takes care of the problems in the area. He reminded the Commission to
train for the Barrier Free Walk.
Albert Williams, 136 NE 12 Avenue, property manager and maintenance for Leon
Jenkins, knew Mr. Jenkins had been working hard to preserve the properties. It is unfair
he was only given 30 days to complete a project and then delay the licenses and
permits. Mr. Williams offered that Mr. Jenkins was trying to complete the project in a
professional manner.
Gail Jenkins, 16049 Rio Del Sol in Delray Beach, advised her husband was given
permission to remodel the property on November 6 th through January 12 There was a
delay in approval of plans due to revisions and delay in inspections. The repairs were
90% completed and she asked for time to complete the work. The inspections were not
conducted timely and it was out of their control. She estimated completion would take
less than a week.
Daniel Spotts, 805 N. Federal Highway, a small business owner in the downtown,
attended the CRA meeting. In the past two weeks two more businesses have closed or
moved out of the downtown raising the total to 21 businesses having left the area since

All Aboard Florida made their announcement to proceed. Mr. Spotts again asked the
Commission to take seriously the threat the project poses to the City. The new
Republican Congress has announced a delay in positive train control regulations for
quiet zones. There is no agreement if the regulations do not move forward. He was
deeply concerned about the safety of the crossings and encouraged the Commission to
address the issue more thoroughly.
No one else coming forward, Vice Mayor Casello closed Public Audience.
Commissioner McCray asked Attorney Cherof to enlighten the Commission about the
Jenkins demolition. Attorney Cherof responded the Building Official had issued a stop
work order and order of demolition several months ago. The demolition order was
appealed to the Building Board of Adjustment and Appeals and an order was issued.
The order related it was found to be an unsafe structure, not suitable for habitation and
the demolition order of the Building Official would stand. It was abated until January
12 2015. The Board heard all - the testimony of Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins who were
represented by counsel. There was a discussion to set an earlier compliance date, but
it was not in the best interest of the parties.
The order indicates, "In the event the applicants fail to remedy the unsafe condition of
the building by January 12, the Building Official is authorized to proceed with the
demolition of the structure." The determination was made there was not timely
compliance, the building is unsafe and the demolition process is proceeding.
Commissioner McCray understood the date of application was November 7, 2014 and it
was issued December 19, 2014. There appears to be sufficient time allotted. Attorney
Cherof did not believe the City made any errors in the process. It is common for
submitted plans to be returned for lack of details. The Building Board of Adjustment and
Appeals was aware of the application for permit and allowed sufficient time for
compliance. Attorney Cherof believed there had been sufficient time, but it is left to the
Building Official to decide.
The City's obligation is to honor the order of the Building Board of Adjustments and
Appeals entered back in November. Commissioner McCray inquired if Mr. Jenkins
would receive any compensation if the demolition is done. Attorney Cherof did not
know.
No one else coming forward, Vice Mayor Casello closed Public Audience.

6. CONSENT AGENDA
January 20, 2015
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
A. PROPOSED RESOLUTION NO. R15 -003 - Approve removal of one Red
Light Camera Magistrate.
B. PROPOSED RESOLUTION NO. R15 -004 - Approve Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding in the amount of $100,000 for
Copper Top Brewery LLC for the purpose of purchasing equipment for the
business which will result in local job creation; and authorize the Mayor to
sign the Agreement.
Vice Mayor Casello had pulled Item 6.13 for discussion. He inquired what - the return on
investment would be for the City. Octavia Sherrod, Community Development Manager,
replied the business would produce above minimum wage jobs and employ members of
the community.
Matthew Cox, owner and Brew Master of Copper Top Brewery, a resident of Boynton
for 15 years and Alfred Lettera, 528 Squire Drive in Wellington were present. A forecast
of the types of positions was submitted. The brew house would include full time labor
with five people employed in year one. The tasting room would have about eight people
and then administrative staff of two. Year two could have eight full time people in the
brew house supporting the manufacturing with educated professionals. It is estimated
to have 10 in the tasting room that would result in four administrative staff. The third
MEETING MINUTES
REGULAR CITY COMMISSION

year would involve10 employees in the brew house, 12 in the tasting room and six office
staff.
The calculations have been substantiated with the community to illustrate how the
manufacturing will add to the additional jobs. Local distributors were consulted to
determine potential capacity in the market and sold the estimates to the investors
supporting the business.
Vice Mayor Casello was concerned that $100,000 out of the total funds of $185,000 was
significant for only one company. Ms. Sherrod explained, by Housing and Urban
Development standards, more jobs were being created for the dollars spent than
mandated. A minimum requirement, according to the federal guidelines, would be three
or four jobs. Local non - profits that train low- income people would be consulted to bring
productive people back into society.
Nancy Byrne, Development Director, pointed out it is a very scientific approach to
brewing beer. It is a lengthy, convoluted process to obtain the funding and be on a
continuing reporting basis back to City staff about job production. All of the equipment
had to be made in the USA. It is not easy to qualify for the funding.
Commissioner McCray questioned what the recourse would be if the business did not
survive. Ms. Byrne explained the equipment is the leverage for the loan. Vice Mayor
Casello supported the brewery business. Ms. Byrne interjected the monies had been
allocated for three years without an applicant. Commissioner McCray asked if the
equipment could be used for production of drinks other than beer.
Mr. Altera interjected the boiler was sourced from California and cost $30,000 and the
chiller was from Oregon for $35,000. Their business plan also included contingency
plans for contract manufacturing for other breweries that do not have the capacity
needed. It could be used to make root beer or seltzer water. The business plan had
been well thought out.
David Katz, 67 Midwood Lane, advised he was not against the project, but was
concerned about the monies being used from - the CDBG Grant based on prior
experience. In relation to the job estimations, anticipation is a "gray" word, but he
hoped the jobs created would be more substantial than minimum wage. He understood
the applicant was not required to hire residents of Boynton Beach. He noted there is a
requirement for quarterly reporting to the Commission and he hoped that would be
mandatory. Ms. Sherrod agreed there were checks and balances. She clarified the
prior poor experience referred to was not funding from Boynton Beach CDBG funds.
