2. OTHER
A. Informational items by Members of the City Commission
Mayor Taylor had appeared at three events that most of the other Commissioners had
also attended. Due to the extensive agenda, comments were curtailed.
3. ANNOUNCEMENTS, COMMUNITY & SPECIAL EVENTS & PRESENTATIONS
A. Hear legislative update from State Representative Bobby Powell.
Representative Powell, Florida House District 88, outlined the boundaries of his District.
He reported the session started on March 3rd through May 1 The total number of bills
passed was 231. One of the biggest items discussed was the tax cut package. The
Governor had estimated a $7M tax cut in the State of Florida. Representative Powell
supported the $429M tax package, but there were some areas he did not agree. It was
a tax cut for the citizens so he balanced the good with the bad, did a cost benefit
analysis and determined the benefits outweighed the costs.
The reduction in the Communication Services Tax was highlighted. It would save the
average citizen about $20 per year or $1.66 a month. The back to school tax holiday
was extended to ten days, August 7 to 17 College students would see the
elimination of all sales tax on textbooks for certain classes. The brownfield credit was
passed as well as a boat repairs program to reduce those costs. It would bring
businesses to the District.
The original session ended early because the Florida Insurance Affordability Exchange,
the FHIX Program that was prepared by the Senate, could not be agreed upon by the
Senate or the House of Representatives. It resulted in a special session being called
for June 1 to work on the budget. The two budgets were $2B to $4B apart. The FHIX
Program was the Senate's version of health care expansion that would allow those
without health insurance who are working to find affordable coverage. It did not pass
this year, but he hoped it would move forward in the future.
An important issue to Boynton Beach is sober homes. Legislation was passed to allow
sober homes to voluntarily register. The homes are covered by the ADA (Americans
with Disabilities Act) in terms of fair housing and other benefits. It allows sober homes
to register and go through DCF (Department of Children & Families) for certification to
be able to continue to be a sober home and help the industry.

Representative Powell noted he had worked to get HB 3 and SB 6 passed that adds
sickle cell to the list of diseases that closes the gap for funding. It is a grant that is
distributed every year to deal with different medical conditions associated with race and
ethnic disparities. Sickle cell was added to the list because the State of Florida rates
first for the number of those with the disease. It allows organizations to provide
education.
Online voter registration passed that would provide a secure website to do so starting in
2017.
Bills that did not pass were discrimination in employment practices relating to those with
criminal convictions that prevent many from being considered at all due to a past
criminal act that does not consider their current situation. Another bill that involved the
criminal prosecution of juveniles did not pass. Palm Beach County is still known as one
of the highest rates of direct filing of children ages 14 -17 into the adult prison system.
Once prosecuted as an adult that status continues. The bill at least started the
conversation.
Many items did not pass because of the abrupt end of the first session. Enterprise
zones have been important in Palm Beach County to fund jobs to build up those areas.
In 2015 the program will sunset and another type of program will be considered in the
hopes of stimulating the economy in the zones.
The gaming and decoupling was discussed, but there was no action this year. There
was legislation relating to transportation network companies such as Uber that would
probably return next year for further work to pass.
Boynton Beach received transportation monies, in terms of grants, funding for the
Women's Club, cultural facilities and a window and door repair program that were
scratched by the Governor, should receive funding under other programs.
The next session would deal with congressional maps and future sessions would deal
with Senate district maps. The House of Representatives has 120 members with 81
Republicans and 39 Democrats. In the Senate there are 14 Democrats and 26
Republicans. It is difficult to be fair and strike a balance when one side controls
everything.
Commissioner Merker mentioned the problem exists in every state and the party that is
in the minority has to work harder. Representative Powell recalled in 2012 the Fair
District Amendment was passed to ensure the legislature drew Senate, House and
Congressional District maps in a fair manner. The efforts did not rectify the problem
and there is an opportunity now to correct the situation.

August 4, 2015
Vice Mayor Casello thanked Representative Powell for his hard work and due diligence
for his constituents. Commissioner Fitzpatrick was happy Representative Powell was
his representative.
Commissioner McCray was glad sober home legislation was passed. He asked the City
Manager if sober homes were voluntarily registering and the City's efforts. Ms.
LaVerriere indicated the new legislation is a registration that would be at the State level
and the City would have no control other than encourage registration. Commissioner
McCray was concerned that all the sober homes were coming into District II. Mayor
Taylor offered they are established all over the City. Commissioner McCray wanted to
be informed of the number of sober homes in District II at this time. Mayor Taylor
stressed the registration is voluntary. The homes are protected through the ADA, but
the City uses Code Enforcement and Police to address the issue. The City is trying its
best to prevent the sober homes from ruining the neighborhoods. It will take an act of
the federal government. There is a Senator trying to investigate if sober homes should
be under the auspices of the ADA and federal regulations.
Mayor Taylor thanked Representative Powell for the update and his support of the City
of Boynton Beach.
B. Presentation to David Cordrey, Tennis Pro at Hunter's Run, by a member of
the Education & Youth Advisory Board, in appreciation for his contribution to the Tennis
Carnival
Steve Waldman, Chair of the Education and Youth Advisory Board, presented a gift to
David Cordrey for his assistance with the Tennis Carnival on April 25 Several of the
tennis pros from the facility helped the kids learn tennis and have fun. He thanked
Hunter's Run for allowing entry to the development and access to the tennis courts and
staff. Mr. Waldman also thanked members of the Education and Youth Advisory Board
and Ms. Sherri Claude for her work with the Board.
C. Approve changing the date of the first meeting in September from Tuesday,
September 1, 2015 at 6:30 pm to Thursday, September 3, 2015 at 6:30 pm to have First
Public Budget Hearing on Proposed FY 15/16 Budget in accordance with the Truth in
Millage (TRIM) calendar.

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)
Tom McClure, President of the Boynton Intracoastal Group (BIG), was present
representing a group of homeowners associations that are along Federal Highway and
the Intracoastal, encompassing over 2,400 units. It is organized to further the issues
that affect this group of people. He recognized other members who were present and
focused on BIG issues. It was established in 2002, ". . . to provide a vehicle to gather
information for the membership of intracoastal communities, as well as to collectively
provide a uniform voice to address common concerns." Mr. McClure offered the support
of the organization to make Boynton Beach a better place to live. State and local
leaders would be asked to address the members throughout the year. Mr. McClure
thanked Commissioner Fitzpatrick for his effort in supporting and informing BIG of
community issues. BIG supports the Boynton Beach Police Department and the COP
(Citizens Observation Patrol) program. They do fund the fuel for the vehicle and
volunteers drive the cars throughout the communities.
(Commissioner McCray left the dais.)
There would be a golf tournament on November 16 in support of the first responders
and COP program. There would also be a Heroes' Dinner in March, 2016 to honor a
civic individual, a hero from the first responders and one of the volunteers who go above
and beyond to aid others. Mr. McClure offered the assistance of BIG to the Commission
to make the City a better place to live.

Mayor Taylor thanked Mr. McClure for coming forward and commented the willingness
to work together is the way things get done.
Vice Mayor Casello praised Officer Swan for being helpful to communities throughout
the City and did an outstanding job.
Harry Woodworth, 685 NE 15 Place, President of INCA (Intracoastal Cove
Association) added the two organizations would working together to further common
interests east of Federal. ATT was still working on removal of the ten wooden poles.
Hopefully the sidewalk can be reconstructed and repaired soon.
Vice Mayor Casello agreed there was the same issue along Lawrence Road, but the
response seems to be quicker.
Sara Younger, 819 SW 2 Avenue, a solar artist, advised a number of local
government officials want to see a market for solar in the State of Florida. They are
upset by the decision of the Florida League of Cities to oppose the Floridians for Solar
Choice ballot initiative without bringing the matter to a committee for a vote. Ms.
Younger requested the Commission sign on to an open letter asking the League of
Cities District Board Members to withdraw the brief against the ballot initiative. The
Floridians for Solar Choice will reduce barriers to solar energy and bolster consumer
choices with competition in a market that will create jobs and keep energy funds in the
area. The ballot initiative has been supported by over 40 partner groups.
Jonas and Jules Wright, lived in the Cherry Hill area, 508 NW 11 Avenue, and
wanted to make the Commission aware there have been many shootings and shedding
of blood in the area. The issues escalate when block parties are permitted to be held in
the area. There was recently a party so big the police pulled out. It started again and it
creates an environment for trouble. The police do respond, but they remained
concerned and wanted to assist in resolving the problem. It has been escalating since
the improvements have been made and bringing more problems into the Cherry Hill
area. Mayor Taylor suggested the Wrights speak with Commissioner McCray and the
Police Chief to get the details of what was occurring.
Commissioner McCray was very much aware of the problem and acknowledged the
Wrights as his cousins.
Sonny Garcia, 1631 NW 3 Lane, spoke about the possibility of drones being flown at
Ezell Hester Center. He suggested a park or vacant lot be found to fly the drones rather
than near 1 -95 and where many children are daily. Mr. Garcia did not want the drones
flying over his home. Mayor Taylor realized the drones can be flown anywhere in the
City except the City parks. Staff was addressing the concerns and trying to find a
designated area to control their use.

Michael Weiner, was present on behalf of Future Auto Group to discuss the changing
of the industrial zoning. One aspect of the zoning changes has been internet sales in
industrial areas. He hoped to spur the thought of looking at industrial areas and what is
occurring in terms of internet sales and maybe move forward as quickly as done with
landscape debris stockpiling.
Vice Mayor Casello wanted clarification of Mr. Weiner's reference to Internet sales. Mr.
Weiner responded people are not shopping by visiting a designated location, rather
ordering from warehouse space. Many times paperwork is required. Due to the
economy and trends for industrial land, the change should be addressed in the zoning
Code to allow these kinds of casual sales to occur. It would improve the use of the
industrial land, increase the number of tenants and modernize the Code in terms of the
activity of consumers in the South Florida area.
Commissioner Merker understood Mr. Weiner wanted support for businesses doing
Internet sales. Mr. Weiner clarified the Code is changed only if the Planning and Zoning
Department initiates change. All that would need to be supplied would be an
explanation of how a business would operate, follow the regulations and allow for the
kind of activity that could occur in the industrial zone. Currently, only wholesale sales
are allowed. The end users are actually buying goods. It would require a change in the
language of the zoning Code to allow for sales to the end users, not just wholesale.
(Commissioner Merker left the dais.)
Steve Anton, 234 SE 2nd Avenue, pointed out there has been high profile news
coverage regarding a problem with underage prostitution. The fact it is being publicized
makes it . a stain on Boynton Beach that will be hard to remove. Mayor Taylor
complimented the Police Department for breaking a ring of teenage prostitution
arresting over ten individuals.
(Commissioner Merker returned to the dais.)
No one else coming forward, Mayor Taylor closed public audience

B. PROPOSED RESOLUTION NO. R15 -085 - Authorize the City Manager to
sign an Interlocal Agreement between the City of Boynton Beach and the Village of Golf
for providing Fire Rescue Services.
Commissioner Fitzpatrick had pulled the item for discussion. He expressed concern the
City was offering a lower rate to the Village of Golf than the citizens of Boynton Beach
pay for fire service as measured by the property taxes and millage rates. He would not
support providing the services that were being paid for by the middle class and those on
fixed income within the City of Boynton Beach. He also questioned if a change to

merge with the County would create a problem to break the contract. Attorney Cherof
noted there is usually a clause to deal with any such possibilities and would be the
subject of negotiations with any third party taking over the service. A couple of solutions
may be available. There is currently no specific language in the agreement.
Mayor Taylor established there was an increase from $158,000 to $200,000 in a ten
year contact with the current multiplier of a 4% increase per year or the May consumer
price index, whichever is greater. The Village of Golf has a total budget of

Commissioner Merker had been informed there were a list of obligations that should be
done to verify the property is proper for this usage. He was aware the Chair of the
Planning and Development Board spoke for the owner. It had been indicated the issue
would not go before the Planning and Development Board. Commissioner Merker
questioned if Mr. Katz was a lobbyist for the company involved. The idea Mr. Katz is
Chair of the Planning and Development Board and the Commission is considering
shortening the time span to fully vet the issue, raised questions on the legality of the
procedure.
Commissioner Merker was also led to believe that the company doing the recycling was
not in a rush to have the issue resolved. Supposedly there are only 10 employees
rather than what was previously stated.
Attorney Cherof recalled the concept was to have first reading of the Ordinance on
August 4 and the second reading on August 18 The Planning and Development
Board regularly scheduled meeting would have occurred after second reading. For that
reason, there is a special meeting of the Planning and Development Board on August
12 for their review and to make a recommendation to the Commission.
Whether Mr. Katz was a lobbyist was answered at the last Commission meeting by Mr.
Katz that he was not a lobbyist. There would be no other prohibition for any member of
the public including the Chair of the Planning and Development Board from expressing
a point of view on an issue that would come before the Commission.
Ultimately, if a conflict of interest is identified at the Planning and Development Board it
will be revealed at that meeting.
Commissioner Merker reiterated his concerns. There is procedure and political
maneuvering occurring. Attorney Cherof further explained the sequence of adopting an
ordinance normally takes much longer, but the will of the Commission has been to
expedite review of the ordinance because of a particular use. He cautioned that the
Ordinance is not site specific and applies to all potential businesses of this nature in the
M -1 zoning district.
Andrew Mack, Interim Development Director and City Engineer, clarified there is a list of
items that anyone applying for a Business Tax Receipt (BTR) would have to comply
within 12 months. Many of the provisions were written for this type of use in the
preliminary investigation and would comply. There may be changes needed and the
18 -month pilot time period would apply for any revisions. It also removes the
grandfathering so in 18 months there will be the opportunity to revoke the ordinance to
let it sunset. Obviously staff would rather have the time to do a thorough study.

11. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
A. Commission discussion and direction on disposition of the Old High School.
Ms. LaVerriere noted as a result of the Strategic Planning Session in June, the
Commission asked this item be placed on the agenda to have a discussion on
demolition of the Old High School. An updated quote for the cost of demolition came in
at $190,000 plus cost to relocate some electrical and IT lines that would be an
additional $10,000. With contingency, restoration of the property and other actions, the
estimated total cost of demolition would be between $250,000 and $275,000.
Commissioner Fitzpatrick pointed out there were a limited number of historical buildings
in Boynton Beach. OId buildings restored in other municipalities have been an asset to
those communities. He surmised the Old High School would add to Boynton Beach.
The idea the City cannot afford to save both the Women's Club and Old High School is
not an appropriate choice. Ultimately, Commissioner Fitzpatrick was in favor of giving
the Old High School one more chance and put together a citizen's committee to work
toward restoration.
Commissioner McCray had sat on the Commission before when a citizen committee
promised to raise funds and save the Old High School. The dollars did not appear and
no one reported any funds raised.
Saving history is like Poinciana Elementary School that was a high school. Individuals
approached a prior Commission and asked to save their history. Reverend Davis broke
down in tears questioning why their history had to be taken away. The only history that
remains is memories. It is nice to save things if it is possible.
At this time, the OId High School is in total disrepair and the City needs to move
forward.
Commissioner Merker noted Treasure Coast Planning Council was paid $60,000 and
they created four plans with the Old High School to reflect the desires of the community.
There is a pending lawsuit with no final decision. He was confused why time and
money has been expended with the idea of using the Old High School that is now being
torn down. He had previously agreed it should be torn down, but now felt it was wrong

to vote for demolition with issues outstanding, money spent and not recognizing the
desire of the people.
Mayor Taylor stated the building was a hazard and has been for years. The roof has
caved in and a hazmat suit is required to enter the building. The Children's
Schoolhouse Museum has been preserved and the City pays a minimum of $200,000 a
year to maintain it. The same people continue to ask that the Old High School be
saved. The City does not have the money and it will not have the money in the near
future. It will cost $1.2M to preserve it to fall down. It is time for it to be torn down.
The Treasure Coast Planning Council did do four plans with the Old High School and
they were directed to resubmit plans without the Old High School and they did. There
are plans for the Town Square project and developers express concern about the Old
High School in the middle of any project. Mayor Taylor thought there may be more
developers interested in the Town Square if the expense of tearing the building down
was eliminated. It would send a strong message. Saving the cornerstone for a historical
monument would be appropriate. There has been input for years with nothing done.
Vice Mayor Casello thanked all those who expressed an opinion about the Old High
School. It is a structure that possesses memories. Figures had been submitted in 2011
to make the building tight that range from $2.5M to $3.2M. For 20 years the school has
been closed and deteriorating. Previous community leaders did not feel it necessary to
preserve his piece of history. There have been no grass roots efforts the last two and a
half years to develop a plan or secure funding to begin preservation. There is no
money available. There is a tree growing out of the roof, the facade is peeled off and
barrel tiles are loose. Saving the building should have been done 15 years ago. The
building is not safe. Developers see the building and step back.
Vice Mayor Casello proposed moving Boynton Beach forward rather than making an
emotional decision that will cost thousands of dollars the City does not have. The cost
of demolition will have to be budgeted. The time has come and the City needs to move
forward.
Commissioner McCray inquired about the status of the lawsuit and Attorney Cherof
advised the pending lawsuit has nothing to do with the development plan for the
building. There were two lawsuits filed. The first one the City won and the pending
action is a breach of contract that does not involve the building.
Commissioner Fitzpatrick commented, in his opinion, Black history has been under-
reported in this country which is sad and should be rectified. Because the Black
community high school was torn down is not a reason to tear down what had been the
white community high school. He agreed with Vice Mayor Casello the restoration
should have been done 20 years ago. Since then it has been malignant neglect. He
felt there was enough initiative to develop a plan and restore the building. It may take
time, but it could be a community event that builds spirit. There may be volunteers who

could get involved in repairing the building and contractors to do the painting for
considerably less than estimated.
Mayor Taylor advised the same arguments have been presented over and over again,
but not one dime or dollar has been brought forth.
Motion
Vice Mayor Casello moved to move forward to demolish the Old High School.
Commissioner McCray seconded the motion.
Vote
The motion passed 3 -2 (Commissioners Merker and Fitzpatrick dissenting).
Mayor Taylor allowed public comment.
John Markey, Boca Raton, supported saving the Old High School. He is the managing
member of Blackrock Residential Opportunity Fund and JKM Developers. He was
committed to the Boynton Village project and the traffic light at Old Boynton Road and
Renaissance Commons Boulevard. The change in the site plan shows a commitment
to the community and to planning. Mr. Markey indicated he was a managing member of
the largest financial institution on earth and in his opinion tearing down the building is a
travesty. It is the lynchpin of any redevelopment of the 17 acres.
Mr. Markey claimed two years ago he had a plan for the Old High School and would
underwrite redeveloping the entire area. At the time the City was in an agreement with
another individual. He has had many informal conversations with staff on the project. It
can be done. His organization has a financial commitment to the community and
expertise in doing large complicated projects. He implored the Commission to not
knock the building down. Mr. Markey advised he could not get involved while a lawsuit
is pending.
Mayor Taylor noted he had other developers making the same assertions, but on
examination they all walked away.
Commissioner Merker felt out of respect to Mr. Markey's company and out of respect to
the City and the people, the matter should not be decided at this meeting.
Commissioner Merker also thought, according to the ordinance, a replacement is
required if the building is torn down. Attorney Cherof replied a replacement is not
required.
Mark Karageorge, 240A Main Boulevard, remarked it has been 20 years since a
developer proposed a joint venture, public and private. It was not supported. Treasure
Coast Planning Council suggested a public /private venture. Treasure Coast did not

determine the cost, who would invest or the source of funding. Many have come
forward, done their due diligence and walked away. History should be preserved. The
pending litigation is a frivolous lawsuit. Mayor Taylor stressed the lawsuit does not
involve the building. Mr. Karageorge asserted, if the building is gone there would be
leverage for a further appeal. Attorney Cherof reiterated the breach of contract case
does not seek the use of the Old High School. It seeks monetary damages for breach
of contract. Mr. Karageorge suggested the matter be tabled. It would be prudent and
cautious.
Voncile Smith, 1747 Banyan Creek Court, recalled three years ago the Old High
School had been examined and said duplication would cost over $20M. It is hollow tile
construction, not cement block. There are other possibilities. Fundraising requires
cooperation and assurances from the City Commission that the area will be developed.
She suggested the money used to demolish the building could be given to the historical
society as seed money to begin fundraising. The City needs a cultural center. It is
hurricane sound, regardless of the interior. Restoration architects can attest the
building remains structurally sound. She urged the Commission to save the building for
the City of Boynton Beach and the people.
Barbara Ready, 329 SW 13 Avenue, pointed out the actual wording of the Historic
Preservation ordinance relating to building construction and historic preservation
requirements, removal of historic designation requirements, maintenance and repair of
designated properties and the process for demolition. Every study done describes the
building as an existing asset. Ms. Ready referred to minutes of January 21, 2014 when
an award was given to the City for the Old High School. A copy of the minutes can be
obtained from the website or at the City Clerk's office. She felt it would be an
embarrassment to knock down an award - winning asset.
Mayor Taylor reiterated the building created a safety hazard and it should be torn down.
The same arguments have been presented many times and not a dime has been
raised. Professionals walk away because the cost is prohibitive. The City does not
have the funds needed and other things would take priority if funds were available.
Commissioner Merker argued if the matter has been ongoing for years, a few more
months would not be detrimental. He reiterated his claim that the pending lawsuit had
to be resolved before a decision is made.
Ms. Buehler, 2523 Lake Drive North, agreed the biggest issue was funding. If a
developer was willing to save it, she could not understand why it would be knocked
down. Saving history gives the residents a sense of pride in their City. This could be a
stepping stone for other historic buildings.
Susan Oyer, 140 SE 27 Way, expressed her support for keeping and renovating the
Old High School. The City is exceptionally lucky to have a historic planner, Warren
Adams. The City of Boynton Beach is one of the oldest cities in the County. Ms. Oyer

asked the Commission to support the re- purposing of the historic building, a true
treasure. She would volunteer to work on any committee to deal with the Old High
School.
Steve Anton, 234 SE 2 " Avenue, asserted the building is stronger than any other
building in the City of Boynton Beach. There are architectural reports indicating it is a
good, sound structure. The building held 70% of the population of Boynton Beach
during the 1928 Category 5 hurricane. Mr. Anton claimed the citizens had directed the
building be saved and all the staff studies agreed it should be saved.
Mayor Taylor noted there has never been a referendum vote. He was elected by the
majority of the citizens of Boynton Beach to make the decisions. In his opinion, the
building is not historic. It is an old building. He had served on the Palm Beach County
Historic Board and saved historic buildings. The vote was taken and it was three to two
to tear it down.
Mr. Mack advised, if the building is to be demolished, the historic designation has to be
removed. Attorney Cherof advised an ordinance will be brought before the Commission
rescinding the designation. Ms. LaVerriere added the funding source has to be
determined because it is not currently budgeted. Mayor Taylor indicated he would also
work with the Community Redevelopment Agency to find monies.
Commissioner Merker vigorously argued there was no funding available and yet the
demolition was being planned. Mayor Taylor declared he was out of order.
12. NEW BUSINESS
A. Consider staff analysis of existing regulations applicable to gasoline sales
uses contained in the Land Development Regulations, Part 3. Zoning, Article IV. Use
Regulations, Section D. Use Matrix & Notes, and direct staff relative to recommended
amendments that in part, support continued operation and expansion of existing gas
stations.
(This item was previously moved to August 18, 2015 meeting)
B. Continue discussion regarding financial feasibility of outsourcing police and /or
fire /rescue services to Palm Beach County.
Commissioner McCray was not in favor of outsourcing the services.
Vice Mayor Casello remarked, with the escalating budget and public safety consuming
67% of the budget, he questioned if there would be a cost savings to contract with the
County for fire and police. There were prior discussions in 2012 and a partial study was
completed. At that time there was a proposal for $22M to have the Sheriff's office run
the Police Department and the City was paying $25M. There was a difference.

He suggested that the City entertain putting the issue on the ballot in the next election to
ascertain the public opinion. If the public has an interest, then direction can be given to
get the reports to compare. If the vote is against obtaining the information the issue
would be dropped. If a new police station is required, the only funding source would be
a higher millage rate or a bond issue.
(Commissioner Fitzpatrick left the dais.)
Commissioner Merker questioned how the statement was made we had the best public
safety departments, yet suggest outsourcing the functions. The remarks appeared to
be political according to Commissioner Merker. The police reorganization illustrated
true team work. What the citizens of Boynton Beach want has to be the primary force.
The citizens want security and safety.
Vice Mayor Casello clarified he was not running for political office. The issue is
affordability.
Mayor Taylor was not in favor of outsourcing police and fire. They do a great job. He
understood future affordability is a concern. Vice Mayor Casello suggested a survey
distributed in the utility bills may be sufficient. Mayor Taylor favored a survey.
Commissioner Merker felt it was a contradiction.
13. LEGAL
August 4, 2015
A. PROPOSED RESOLUTION NO. R15 -087 - Approve a Fourth Amendment
to the Professional Services Agreement between the City of Boynton Beach and
American Traffic Solutions, Inc., ( "ATS ") for the Red Light Traffic Enforcement system.
Harvey Oyer, representing American Traffic Solutions as a lobbyist, reviewed the Red
Light Program. This week, ironically, marks the National Stop on Red Week, sponsored
by the Federal Highway Administration. There is a top ten list of why stopping on red is
critical. Most of us know or knew someone who has been killed or maimed by a red
light runner. The dollar cost to Americans exceeds $200B a year, an extraordinary cost
to society that is avoidable.
The City of Boynton Beach is now four and a half years into a five year contract with
ATS, commencing in May of 2011 as a pioneer with a red light camera program. It was
enacted by the City, before the State Legislature made it a uniform traffic citation
violation. There are 15 cameras installed at seven intersections. During that time, to
March, 2015 there was a 38% decrease per day, per camera in red light running. It is
comparable to the national and state averages of other red light camera programs. The
majority of violators are not Boynton Beach residents. There is a very low recidivism
rate. The lights and cameras were designed to modify behavior and have been
effective. The cameras also provide 24 hour -a -day surveillance to the Police

Department to solve other crimes. The videos have been requested and used 230
times. Other communities pay hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to set up
surveillance in areas for crime prevention and resolution. The City of Boynton Beach
receives the coverage for free because the video belongs to the City.
State -wide statistics show there are 80 jurisdictions that have red light cameras. Fatal
crashes at intersections with cameras have been reduced 49 %. The estimated number
of lives saved per year is 18. In Palm Beach County the data compiled by Palm Beach
County Traffic Engineering revealed, while accidents decreased 28% at camera
intersection, it was increasing 15% at non - camera intersections. It is a differential of
43 %.
The majority of people receive one ticket and it modified their behavior. Those who got
a second ticket are a small percentage and fewer than 2% are the individuals with three
or more violations. Red light cameras truly do modify driver behavior. Sideswipe
crashes decreased in other jurisdictions with very similar results throughout the State of
Florida.
A large share of the money collected goes to the State. It began as a local Code
Enforcement violation and the enacting ordinance made it enforceable against everyone
in the State. Many major roadways are State roads and the ordinance allows cameras
to be placed in their State road right -of -way. The City receives a portion of the money
and $3 from each ticket goes to the Miami Project to Cure Paralysis. There is a direct
relationship been paralysis and red light running. The local trauma centers receive $10
from each ticket.
The public quickly realizes the red light cameras are not being monitored and running
red lights become a problem. The City cameras have recorded a 30% increase in red
light violations since tickets were no longer issued. In the four and a half years since
the cameras were installed there has been a 38% reduction in red light running.
All of the 52 cities in the survey experienced a change in driver behavior, greater public
awareness, reduction in recidivism, reduction in crash severity and reduction in number
of crashes and pedestrian safety. A large percentage of those injured at intersections
are pedestrians and bicyclists.
The cameras are endorsed by the Florida League of Cities, the Florida Police Chiefs'
Association and many other agencies including the U.S. Conference of Mayors and
U.S. Department of Transportation. In spite of the challenges, 70% of the Floridians
and Americans support red light camera programs. The red light cameras take all the
subjectivity out of the process. It is completely objective, color blind and with no
discretion or bias.
Mr. Oyer indicated he had asked Melissa Wandall to be present because her husband
was killed by a red light runner and was the impetus for the The Mark Wandall Traffic

Safety Act. She is the national spokesperson for Stop On Red and she sent her
encouragement that the program continue that was pioneered by the City of Boynton
Beach and received unanimous approval by the Commission.
Mark Buoniconti was present and had been paralyzed by a tackle in a football game.
He now Moves people to understand the tragedy of paralysis and to join him in finding
its cure. He is the Founder and President of the Miami Project to Cure Paralysis and
other organizations fighting for a solution to assist with paralysis and change the way
the world thinks about paralysis. The $3 per ticket revenue is making a huge difference
at the Miami Project to Cure Paralysis. The Foundation is now working on clinical trials
in humans with cellular transplants. The trauma centers that receive funding are seeing
a reduction in injuries related to car crashes and red light running. The funds are not
only helping to cure paralysis, but also saving lives of those who run red lights and are
victims of accidents.
It is an extremely important issue. The $158 fine is for running a red light, one of the
most egregious offenses of driving. The City has a unique position to impact lives by
doing the right thing and making the community a safer place. Mr. Buoniconti implored
the Commission to pass the issue and let the red light cameras continued.
Mayor Taylor indicated he had followed Mr. Buoniconti since his accident and admired
his work and courage to try to cure paralysis.
Mr. Harvey asked the Commission to approve option four that resolves all issues and
gets the program operational again.
Attorney Bridgeman detailed the four options available. The first option would be to do
nothing and keep the cameras off and issue no citations. The City would still have an
obligation to follow the contract and pay about $800,000 until the contract ends in May,
2016 without any services in return.
The second option would be to terminate the contract with ATS immediately. The City
does have an obligation to make its best efforts to conclude the contract and pay the
month amount as agreed. If the contract is terminated by the City, ATS would likely file
a legal challenge to the City's decision and the monthly payments would be
discontinued. However, legal fees would be assessed and if the City is determined to
have breached the contract, the $800,000 would be due.
The third option would involve amending the ATS contract solely to modify the program
to turn the cameras back on and follow all of the opinions that have been handed down
in the Courts. The contract would naturally end in May of 2016. A decision would have
to be made whether or not to renew the contract for an additional five year term. The
fiscal impact would be payment of $800,000 and $4,750 per camera, per month and no
credits would be applied.
MEETING MINUTES
CITY COMMISSION
BOYNTON BEACH, FL
August 4, 2015
Option four is recommended by City staff and requested to be approved by ATS by
amending the contract to modify the City's program, provide financial credits to the City
for the past three months and renew the contract for an additional five year term. If by
October 3, 2016 the Commission decides to discontinue the program, a letter can be
issued to ATS to terminate the contract for any reason. This would add seven months to
the contract to allow the program to move through the Courts. Instead of the $4,750 fee
per camera, per month, there would be a $500 reduction per camera, per month from
August 1, 2015 through May 2021 and get the three month credit from ATS. It would
make the City financially whole in that respect.
Attorney Cherof reminded the Commission, the reason for the fourth amendment is
because once ATS was notified the City felt the contract could not continue, the same
contract provided an opportunity for ATS to cure the defects in the program. This
addendum is ATS's best effort to remedy the issues raised in the Court proceedings
and cure the problems identified. It is important to note the Court actions are not final
and subject to appeal. There have been conflicting Court opinions.
Mr. Oyer related ATS was in complete agreement with Attorney Cherof. Only one of
five District Courts has ruled the cameras are not legal based on the case in Hollywood,
Florida. The Hollywood contract is different than the Boynton Beach contract. It has
been agreed that any contract language be amended that may be perceived as not
being in compliance with the decision on the Hollywood case. Most of the disputes
revolve around who makes the final decision on the issuance of a ticket. The Boynton
Beach Police Department has always made the final determination.
Mayor Taylor opened the issue for public comment.
Ramona Young, 9966 Boynton Gardens Way, had received a ticket that she paid, but
contended there was a gap in the timing when two vehicles go through an intersection
that only the second vehicle is photographed. She was angry about the violation. She
abides by the law and thought the cameras were a big "rip off". There should be
another option pursued and the matter carefully reviewed. Mayor Taylor explained Ms.
Young could have gone to the magistrate hearing with the explanation. Ms. Young
asserted she did not have the time or the energy or patience to pursue a hearing and
argument. She argued the red Tight cameras were being questioned and the
Commission should reconsider their use in the City of Boynton Beach.
Steve Anton, 234 SE 2 Avenue, opined the Commission was purchasing a system
that would observe the citizens and further intrude into individual lives everywhere. The
Constitution declared this would not occur and yet it is allowed to creep into everyone's
lives. Mr. Anton referred to it as "prostitution of the Constitution ". An individual cannot
question the camera or the technology. It is a deeper problem than realized. It is not
just the money involved.

Robert Pollock, 210 NE 22 " Avenue, questioned the distribution of the money
collected from the fine. He would not argue if the money was spent to beautify the City
or put back in for redevelopment. Mayor Taylor explained there were expenses and
personnel cost to administer the program. There are months when not enough money
is collected to pay the monthly fee to ATS for the cameras. The new agreement would
allow the payments to smooth out month to month for a more consistent expense. The
intent is to save lives and injury. Any monies that are not used to cover the cost of the
program, is deposited in the General Fund to be used for the community.
Bro. Victor Norfus, 261 N. Palm Drive, offered the cost was prohibitive with the only
cure being to issue more tickets. He inquired how many actual accidents have been
captured that would support lives saved. Bro. Norfus did not like the idea of electronic
surveillance replacing police. He had just been in an auto crash at a stop sign in West
Palm Beach. Unless the cameras can quantify lives saved, the assertion cannot be
made. The totality of the program has to be considered. More police surveillance is
needed at the intersections rather than cameras. The issue is not electronic
surveillance ticketing innocent people and saving lives if the data cannot be quantified.
He questioned how many accidents had been recorded to provide the data to support
the program. Mayor Taylor recalled there was a 38% decrease in red light violations.
Commissioner Merker had received a ticket and paid the fine because he was guilty of
the violation. The key is psychological and the resulting behavior changes. Safety
rather than dollars should be the primary concern. Technology only improves over time
and is now saving more and more lives. Commissioner Merker would vote in favor of
continuing the program to help the masses, not individually. The additional surveillance
can only enhance the safety of all citizens.
Vice Mayor Casello inquired what the City paid monthly to ATS and Attorney Bridgeman
replied it was $74,000 for the service provided. There is a distinction between the
monthly fee paid and how the fines are distributed. Tim Howard, Director of Finance,
reported of the $158 fine, $83 goes to the State, $75 goes to the City. ATS receives
nothing from the fines paid.
Vice Mayor Casello asked how many municipalities had installed the red light cameras
and it was estimated eight or nine. All of the contracts have expired and they decided to
wait and see what happens with other municipalities. Attorney Bridgeman emphasized
the cameras have never been ruled illegal. There is an appeal pending relating to the
decision that resulted in the cameras being turned off. Other jurisdictions in Florida
have won appeals with the old program. The proposed changes would further enhance
the likelihood of success in the Courts.
Vice Mayor Casello inquired if there was language in the contract allowing the City to
terminate the contract if insufficient revenue was being generated. Ms. Bridgeman
explained it is a cost neutrality provision that is settled at the end of the contract.

It was argued there was no reason for anyone to pay a ticket if the cameras were turned
on, pending the final Court decision and based on all the tickets that have been thrown
out. In response, the program has been modified to address the concerns of the Court.
There are options available if a ticket is issued. The modified program cannot be tested
unless tickets are once again issued.
Vice Mayor Casello asserted the tickets have been tested in Court and thrown out. Now
the new program should be instituted and appeals taken to test its validity. Another
judge could do the same as before and throw the new tickets out the window. He asked
if there was a class action suit by the people who paid the original tickets issued. There
would be a possibility that the City would have to return the monies collected previously.
Commissioner Fitzpatrick recalled the videos he had seen were very scary. The
pictures sent with the notice of violation do not clearly represent the violation. There is
essentially no question of a violation. Commissioner Fitzpatrick did not feel there was
an expectation of privacy at a public intersection. More police are needed, but the cost
factor has to be considered. Having eyes on the intersection is the most cost effective
solution.
Commissioner McCray asked Chief Katz how many intersection accidents have
occurred while the cameras were turned off. Chief Katz responded there was a 23.4%
increase of crashes in intersections. There have been no fatalities.
Commissioner McCray respected the courage of Mr. Buoniconti, but noted paralysis
comes from various acts and situations. He applauded the individuals who came
forward to speak and the cities that discontinued the contracts with ATS. He could only
vote to continue the current contract through May 2016 and then it should be
terminated. In his opinion it was a money- making venture and he would only support
the program until the contract expires.
Mayor Taylor was aware that many municipalities in the County have gone through the
same processes and are now operating. He stressed continuing the contract until May
of 2016 would cost the City over $1M. Option four will allow the City to save money.
The $222,000 fee covering the last three months will be excused and each camera will
be reduced by $500 a month. The contract can still be cancelled next year.
Vice Mayor Casello surmised ATS was requesting the contract be extended for seven
months and then sign a five year contract. Attorney Cherof interjected there is a clause
that allows the City to terminate the agreement with no penalty, for any reason, on
December 31, 2016 by providing written notice of its intent to terminate the agreement
to ATS on or before October 3, 2016. This is a free out for the City.
Vice Mayor Casello asked why ATS wanted the seven -month extension and Mr. Oyer
explained it would allow recovery of the cost to refund the City $220,000 and the
reduction in the cost for the City going forward. The seven -month extension would

allow time for the test cases to make the way through the Court system. There is a
tremendous ongoing expense to operate the camera system.
It was asserted most of the violations occur because people are distracted rather than a
willful attempt to run the red light. Boynton Beach should not be the test case. The
challenges should be allowed to go through the Courts and if upheld, turned back on.
Mayor Taylor had seen drivers intentionally running lights on a daily basis.
Commissioner Merker noted once a ticket is received and paid, drivers slow down. ATS
is a business entity and their product assists mankind. The issue is safety, not dollars
or self - guilt.

On June 10, 2015,the Florida League of Cities, in conjunction with the Florida Municipal Electric
Association,filed an initial brief with the Florida Supreme Court in opposition to the Floridians
for Solar Choice ballot initiative. We,,the undersigned members of the Florida League of Cities
find that the submission of the brief was filed outside of the appropriate League protocol and
that the arguments presented in the brief are alarmist, unsupported and speculative.As such,
we call for the League to withdraw the initial brief filed with the Court.
As a threshold matter,such legal filings should be subject to a vote of the League and should
moreover be reviewed and approved by the environment and energy committee. Neither was
done in this case, and we are left wondering whether League members or the staff is driving the
filing of the opposition brief to the solar amendment.
The solar petition language would allow the sale of power from an entity other than a utility
limited to solar power systems with a size limitation of 2 megawatts (MW).This would provide
more solar ownership and financing options that can promote solar development in the state.
The solar petition, if it passes the Court's constitutional review, and receives the appropriate
number of verified signatures will appear on the ballot in 2016 for voter approval.
The substantive arguments in The League's brief are aggressive, speculative, and some are well
outside the League's scope or expertise. For instance,the brief argues that the amendment
might create inequitable rate structures between solar and non-solar customers.When did the
League's interest include utility regulatory ratemaking design and policy?
Moreover,arguments related to material future negative impacts to local municipalities due to
reduced utility revenue and the local fees dependent on such revenue,such as franchise fees
and public service tax is again, highly speculative and unfounded.
First,this issue has already been addressed by the state's Financial Impact Estimating
Conference(FIEC) statement after weeks of study and consideration of input from a number of
interested parties.That statement will appear on the ballot for voters to view,should the
petition make it on the ballot in 2016.The FIEC, an entity that specialized on impacts and costs
to state and local governments, concluded the following as it relates to reduced revenue: "the
timing and magnitude of these decreases cannot be determined because they are dependent
on various technological and economic factors that cannot be predicted with certainty." Utility
revenue can be influenced by any number of factors, including the economy and weather. It is
uncertain any reduced revenue may take place, and should be considered in the context of
additional fees and economic development increased solar development will create in our
communities.
Secondly, Florida's utilities have approximately 60,000 MW of generating capacity.The capacity
of customer-sited solar power currently stands at a mere 60 MW. In fact, only 6,600 customers
of the 9 million Florida electricity customers currently generate some other their power from
solar systems.This represents 0.07 percent of all customers.At these levels, negative impacts
to municipalities from reduced utility revenue are so marginal as to not be measurable.
Rather than aggressively attacking a solar ballot initiative intended to expand the benefits of
solar power to more of our constituents, shouldn't the League be supportive of innovative ways
to promote solar power?The League's brief is alarmist, short-sighted, and not approved
through proper protocol.As such, we support immediate withdrawal of the initial brief.

(STORAGE RV- BOATS Original: May 6,2015
Easement Abandonment
Justification Statement
Application Summary
On behalf of Storage Quest Boynton Beach, LLLP, this application proposes the
abandonment of a 10'wide utility easement which currently contains water and sewer
lines. The existing easement is located within the Mega Mini Storage site and extends
into the iStorage RV/Boat site. The abandonment of the easement is proposed in
conjunction with a Site Plan application which relocates and widens the easement to
avoid conflicts with buildings to be constructed and continue the water and sewer
service lines.
A 12' wide utility easement is proposed to replace the 10' wide easement being
abandoned. The easement in the Mega Mini Storage site will remain in the same
location but the iStorage RV/Boats easement will be relocated along the east property
line and extend midway along the south property line.
Review Criteria
Per Chapter 2, Article II, Section 2.G.3 of the Land Development Regulations, the
following review criteria shall be used to justify an application:
1. Access
The proposed abandonment will have no effect on access.
2. Utilities
AT&T, Comcast, Florida Power & Light Company, Bell South, Florida Public Utilities,
and the City of Boynton Beach Utilities Department have all been notified of the
proposed 12' wide utility easement. The informed entities have no objections to
the abandonment.
3. Drainage
The proposed abandonment will not cause or result in a permanent stoppage,
interruption, or unacceptable level of service for site drainage.
4. Conservation
The abandonment will have no effect on the conservation or preservation of
flora or fauna.

Easement Abandonment
May 6,2015
Conclusion
This application proposes an abandonment of the 10' wide utility easement and
replacing it with a 12' wide easement. The easement is described above along with
the justification of how the standards are met for approval of the abandonment. We
have enclosed consent forms from all the utility providers. Therefore, we respectfully
request approval of the abandonment application for 10' utility easement within the
iStorage RV/boats site.
