Minutes 06-24-16MINUTES OF THEJOINT CITY COMMISSION/COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BOARD SPECIAL MEETING HELD AT INTRACOASTAL PARK CLUBHOUSE 2240 N. FEDERAL HIGHWAY, BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA ON FRIDAY, JUNE 24, 2016, AT 8:30 A.M. 1=1*14M Steven B. Grant, Mayor Lori LaVerriere, City Manager Mack McCray, Vice Mayor Jim Cherof, City Attorney Commissioner Justin Katz Judith A. Pyle, Interim City Clerk Commissioner Christina L. Romelus Commissioner Joe Casello r%EZ3M=p to order at 8:35 a.m. Interim City Clerk called the roll. A quorum was present. Trina Pulliam, President with Trainnovations, explained the purpose of the meeting was to make decisions on a direction for the City. The session would be different than the ones previously held. The prior consultants worked at a deeper level than Ms. Pulliam's organization. The direction of the City is based on decisions made at a higher level, and the decision to execute the work is done at the staff level. They interviewed each Commissioner, took the information, and presented it to staff. They would review what the staff believes needs to be done and continues to be done. Any initiatives, policy directions or decisions that are currently in process, have already been funded and decided on will continue and will not be discussed. Today they will address strategic initiatives going forward including policy decisions from elected officials. Ms. Pulliam explained they will review definitions to ensure all are on the same track. She will review the steps that will be used and confirm Commission guidelines to move forward as a team and make decisions. There will be a discussion on the mission and vision, and consensus reached. The Commission will discuss the eight strategic initiatives that are important to the City Commission and that the staff believes are needed. The goal is to create understanding of what the strategic initiatives mean, what they will look like when they are done and engage staff for further information as they have done the research regarding what is needed to get the job done. They will take notes regarding anything that is unknown, and the information will be provided back to the Commission. When there is understanding about the direction and work goals, they will prioritize the goals. Poster boards with columns for the Commissioners to initial will be used to develop prioritized buckets. Then they will determine the next steps to take. Meeting Minutes Special Meeting Boynton Beach, Florida June 24, 2016 Ms. Pulliam explained this is a high level process and she likened the City's vision and mission to a roof. The vision and mission should protect, give direction, and be the pinnacle of what the City is about. The mission is the organization's core progress. Some items are mandated by the Charter, and some from the people through their elected officials. The vision is for the future and she noted the vision should not be too far out into the future. It should be for the intermediate term. Eight pillars, which are the objectives and high level categories they discussed in interviews, keep the roof standing. Ms. Pulliam explained they analyzed the two prior years, what was discussed, and spoke to staff. The pillars depend on the support and strength of elected officials, support staff and funding. Decisions may have been made without considering maintenance costs and the goal is to have strength supported by staff, funding and other needed resources. There are multiple strategic initiatives in each objective which will be discussed. The floors of the house are the components that comprise the action plan, what needed to be done, department operations, all of which are contingent on the operating and CIP budgets. Lori LaVerriere, City Manager, inquired if initiatives will be added or subtracted from the pillars and learned they could. Ms. Pulliam explained the overview of the process. She interviewed the City Manager and the Assistant City Manager and learned everything that was done in the past two years. Then from the interview, they get ideas of things needed to get started, items that should be done and items that were started and needed to continue and be funded. They created input from staff and created objectives and initiatives based on that input. About 15 individuals discussed the input from elected officials and from staff on a more detailed level leading to the issues to be determined at the workshop. Vice Mayor McCray inquired how many strategic plans have been developed. Ms. LaVerriere responded they started meeting three years ago, but they had strategic plans before that. Vice Mayor McCray commented they have done this before, but it bothered him they create plans over and over and they hit the shelf. Ms. LaVerriere responded none of the plans have hit the shelf. It is an update. Each year the Commission establishes a mission and vision, but initiatives will change each year and as they complete the initiative on the list, she reports back to the Commission what was accomplished. They develop new initiatives and continuation of projects. It is a moving process. Mayor Grant asked if the City would have another plan next year and Ms. LaVerriere responded they would as it is a very important process. Ms. Pulliam explained in most cities, the strategic plan is a local process. Other municipalities have a two year process, but it is a reiterative process. Vice Mayor McCray left the workshop at 9:14 a.m. 2 Meeting Minutes Special Meeting Boynton Beach, Florida June 24, 2016 The goal of the workshop is to decide what is important and Ms. Pulliam noted it will impact the budget. She cautioned a big mistake from governments is holding the Strategic Plan after the budget and she praised the City for staying on track. Vice Mayor McCray returned at 9:15 a.m. Commissioner core values were reviewed as contained in the handout, Vice Mayor McCray noted there is one City Manager and two Assistant City Managers and sometimes they have questions to ask of staff. He asked how far they could interact with staff. Ms. LaVerriere explained as contained in the Charter, she encourages the Commissioners to work through her if they were seeking information. City Commissioners cannot direct staff to do things, but can ask for information and Ie -11 ; I When polled there was Commission consensus on the following core values: • Listen to others with an open mind and strive to understand before stating an opinion or judgment; • Do your homework, come prepared, and ask questions ahead of the meeting; • Have professional, candid debates and deliberate by focusing the discussion on the issue and date and not make personal attacks; • Respect others by providing truthful, fair and equitable treatment to all; • Make promises that can be reasonably fulfilled; • Maintain the highest standard of ethics; • Consider the impact of all decisions on the City's resources and recognize the limitations imposed by our organization; • Work collaboratively as a "City Team" to achieve the City's goals; and • Speak with civility at all times. Ms. Pulliam explained the Vision and Mission Statements were promulgated from the interviews. Two Vision Statements were developed. After discussion, there was consensus to use the following: "Our community vision is to be a welcoming and progressive coastal community that celebrates culture, innovation and business development." Three Mission Statements were also developed from the interviews. After brief discussion, there was consensus to use the following: "The City of Boynton Beach is a vibrant and sustainable community that provides exceptional community services." W Meeting Minutes Special Meeting loynton Beach, Florida June 24, 2016 Ms. Pulliam explained the strategic plan drives the activities and financial plan and she reviewed strategic objectives are high-level categories and the initiatives provide the staff with the lens to make decisions. Safe and livable neighborhoods, as an example, could not be addressed until the City Commission made a decision about the parking, so the high level determinations will help staff make decisions, which are then prioritized by the City Commission. The eight pillars identified were: • Safe and Livable Neighborhoods; • Town Square Redevelopment; • Community Events; • Preserve and Beautify Green Space; • Strong Local Economy; • Transportation and Mobility; • Financial Excellence and Sustainability; and • High Performing Organization Ms. Pulliam explained Safe and Livable Neighborhoods is to keep citizens safe while maintaining beautiful neighborhoods and it will address public safety, Code Compliance, nuisance abatement, block parties/special event permitting, CDBG and SHIP programs/funding and parking, litter removal, recovery facilities, and rental services such as Airbnb. Police Chief Katz spoke about the Restoring the Village program, a current initiative of the Safe and Livable Neighborhoods pillar and explained this program was through the Boy Scouts of America. It is a mentoring program for elementary school youth to assist them to develop core values reflected in the community. It was hoped it would bring community youth closer to the Police Department and serve as a conduit for recruiting youth through the Explorer Program. The program was designed to develop socially responsible youth. Vice Mayor McCray favored the program, but noted it was necessary to have a measurable outcome. Chief Katz explained it was an extension of the Explorer program, and this program was the next step to reaching younger children, while they are more impressionable. It is an extension of other activities the Department undertakes such as the Literacy Advocacy Program and developing reading rooms. It is building bonds between local government and community youth while they could still make a positive impact. Vice Mayor McCray asked how many reading rooms were developed and learned the Department did two in the last three years at Rolling Green and Crosspointe Elementary Schools. Mayor Grant asked if youth development and the Restoring the Village program was a way to reach that objective. Ms. Pulliam explained the objective is Safe and Livable Neighborhoods and initiative is the program, Restoring the Village. Only one or two of the initiatives will be selected as a top priority by the elected officials as a body. Those two initiatives will provide the path to obtaining that objective starting in fiscal year 2017. 0 Meeting Minutes Special Meeting Boynton Beach, Florida June 24, 2016 Commissioner Romelus asked if this would be the time to make suggestions on how to improve Restoring the Village, and learned it was not because it had not yet been ranked as a priority. If it did, they could then discuss it. Vice Mayor McCray noted there are young and old people in the community and asked if they were considered. Chief Katz explained the program is targeted to youth, but there are opportunities for mentors. This program started in Fort Pierce and they have had tremendous success in the community Commissioner Katz liked the program, but thought the program name was dated noting they were trying to attract youth in a certain age group and the word "Village" conjured a historic environment. Ms. Pulliam suggested thinking of a name change and what they would like to see in that program. Mayor Grant inquired if they were supposed to rank the initiatives one through seven or the top three. Ms. Pulliam explained they were not yet at the prioritization level, but they will be ranked holistically, not necessarily per objective. He further inquired if they would rank them in high priority or by priority level one through seven. Ms. Pulliam responded they were not. He asked how many should they vote for, and if they were voting for a Strategic Pillar. Ms. Pulliam explained the rankings will occur on the poster boards and they will prioritize after a full understanding of each item is gained. They will be prioritized in groups. There will be a top, medium and probably will not get done until prioritizing in 2018 bucket. She noted there are 46 items. She explained the items will be prioritized by group in order to provide direction to staff, and because there will not be funding for each item. During the discussions, if a Commissioner thought of something that was not on the Board, but belonged on the Board, they should let her know and she would write it in. Chief Katz explained the Department partnered with the Scouts in terms of providing financial support and the program is being initiated through the Police Department. It is something they can expand with the support of the City. Commissioner Casello asked if they recently received $5,000 for the program and learned they did. The Model Block Development initiative was reviewed. Ms. LaVerriere explained the item was a continuation of a program they started last year. No comments from the City Commission were received. There were no comments on the Neighborhood Officer Program initiative. Commissioner Romelus asked if it was a good time to discuss the initiative because the City Commission has not yet had a report. Ms. Pulliam asked if a brief report on the program would make a difference to her would be a priority and learned it would. Ms. LaVerriere explained that would be a discussion with Ms. Brooks and the Chief. She explained there were benchmarks in place to determine how the program was doing. Vice Mayor McCray commented the neighbors in District 11 love the program. The drug activities moved another street over. The citizens like it and he heard positive feedback. He liked that measurements were included. .1 Meeting Minutes Special Meeting Boynton Beach, Florida June 24, 2016 Commissioner Casello wanted a spreadsheet layout of the budget and where the funds are being spent and asked Tim Howard, Assistant City Manager - Public Administration/Finance Director, to provide one. Vivian Brooks, CRA Executive Director, explained they just had their first report at the CRA Board packet last month which lists activities. The program is not necessarily enforcement; it is a presence, creating trust with the community and the Department. The feedback has been very positive and Ms. Brooks was pleased with the program. She explained they tried different programs with the Police in the past and this was effective Vice Mayor McCray thought the Police Bike Patrol was effective as well. Ms. Pulliam explained the information would be provided. The Policing Innovation Program Initiative was discussed. Vice Mayor McCray asked about the tag reader. Chief Katz explained the Department would have to meet with staff and identify a strategic location to get the best return on investment. There are different types of readers such as fixed tag readers and mobile tag readers. A mobile tag reader would be of benefit because as crime is displaced, the ability to move an automated tag reader would be advantageous, but a fixed tag reader would give more continuity in what is being measured. Vice Mayor McCray disagreed. He thought if someone was aware of a tag reader, they would take a different route. Chief Katz explained they would have to be placed in such a way as drivers cannot avoid them. There are strategic locations, but thought it would be harder for Boynton Beach because it is a bigger City. Commissioner Casello asked if the Red Light Camera Program fell under this initiative and learned it did not. Commissioner Casello asked if there was a camera on MLK Boulevard and learned there was not. Ms. Pulliam asked if there were any questions on the Transient Housing Regulations and Licensing Review Initiative. Ms. LaVerriere explained transient housing was defined as short term and vacation rentals and recovery facilities. Staff was looking to review Codes, best practices, and ordinances to regulate as much as they could. She explained the City needed to continue to do this as laws change and the item was being reviewed by the legislature. Ms. Pulliam noted this item was a high level initiative on the Commission level. Commissioner Casello commented the City does not have the manpower for inspectors to follow up on Business Tax Receipts (BTR) and licensing. He noted AmeriGas operated for five to seven years without a Business Tax Receipt and wanted to see that department strengthened. Ms. LaVerriere agreed and pointed out the next two items would support that. Colin Groff, Assistant City Manager - Public Services/Utilities Director explained the Sustainable Neighborhoods Task Force initiative would address parking, traffic calming measures, maintenance of rights-of-way and private property, group gatherings and all other things that go along with that. The Task Force will pull out all of the Codes that deal with protecting neighborhoods and designate one place for people to go to find out all the requirements. It would address the transient housing regulations. The City would Meeting Minutes Special Meeting :• Beach, Florida June 24, 2016 create a set of codes that can be enforced, if they have the manpower, to make neighborhoods safe, and address many of the issues raised at almost every City Commission meeting, Commissioner Katz asked about the task force and learned professional staff would conduct the review. They would work hand-in-hand in some areas, but the focus of the Task Force is on ordinance and best practices to ensure the City would create sustainable and family -friendly safe neighborhoods. Vice Mayor McCray asked if sidewalk repairs were included and learned it would and it would include funding. Ms. LaVerriere explained the purpose of the New Business Model for the Code Compliance initiative was the City was trying to reorganize the Division, creating a department and department director, to take a more customer service-oriented approach to Code Compliance, They had discussed dividing the City into quadrants and developing programs and initiatives with outreach coordinators that are also Code Officers. Neighborhoods require different approaches, such as education or grants. It would be a collaborative approach. Ms. LaVerriere explained Code Compliance is short staffed and 25 Code Officers could be very busy. They can pull a Code Officer from Sanitation and the CRA may fund an officer. Mr. Groff was working on a new organizational chart. The best chance for success is how a message is communicated. Ms. LaVerriere advised they would use all the tools available. It is a big undertaking and a new initiative for the City. Vice Mayor McCray asked if they advertised for Code Officers. Ms. LaVerriere explained they have one Code Officer on light duty, and one vacancy that was advertised. She noted there are budgetary impacts. Ms. Pulliam asked if there was anything they wanted to bring up or have the City Commission consider for 2017 that was not covered that could fall under Safe and Livable Neighborhoods. Mayor Grant thought they could consider the PACE program to help residents improve their homes. Ms. LaVerriere thought it was not needed. They would be bringing a resolution forward next month to expand the City's program from just commercial to residential and there were a few firms offering that. She commented it is a great program. Commissioner Casello inquired if new structures for the Fire and Police Stations would be included. Commissioner Romelus asked in terms of Code Compliance if that would fall under the category of changing the Land Development Regulations. Mr. Groff commented if zoning changes were needed to create better neighborhoods, the Code Review would address it. She noted the RV Boat and Storage application and thought the zoning should have been changed long ago, but it was not and the neighborhood had to suffer. She asked if the Task Force would review such issues. Ms. LaVerriere thought it may be something they could add, and it would be more of a Planning and Zoning review. She requested the topics be specific, but did not think the Task Force Would review it because technical reviewers, planning and zoning professionals were needed. I&A Meeting Minutes Special Meeting Boynton Beach, Florida June 24, 2016 Andrew Mack, Development Director, pointed out a future item has some review for City wide, non -CRA areas analysis. It was more corridors, but it could be expanded to include that topic. Mr. Groff though it could be a called appropriate neighborhood land use policies. Mr. Mack agreed with Ms. LaVerriere it could be a separate topic, as there could be potential ramifications such as downzoning. Commissioner Romelus explained there is not much developable land left, and a land locked parcel in the middle of a neighborhood would impact the neighborhood and the future of the neighborhood because of the zoning. There was agreement to add Neighborhood Land Use Zoning Review. At Mr. Mack's request, the item was renamed to Adjacent Neighborhood Land Use Zoning Review. Vice Mayor McCray commented it would fall under Safe and Livable Neighborhoods. The Town Square redevelopment was defined as including private redevelopment, the Police Department Headquarters, the Old High School, City Hall, Kids Kingdom, Cultural activities, the Library, and the Schoolhouse Children's Museum, There were four initiatives associated as follows: • Do limited rehab on existing City Hall and Police/Fire Departments where they exist today to last another 20 years - $15 million; • Solicit a P3 for redevelopment of 16.5 acres Town Square; • Develop bond financing source for new police headquarters and Fire Station No. 1 outside of Town Square project - $25 million; and • Determine critical path and potential deviations. Commissioner Casello commented the City will need a new police station and fire station. There is land owned by the CRA on Seacrest. The land was advertised for tax credits and he did not see much activity with 'it. He thought a safety complex for police and fire where they could potentially combine police and fire under one roof may be beneficial. There is also land on High Ridge Road that was previously considered, and developers want to know if the land will become available. Commissioner Katz thought the first item was a terrible idea. He did not want to rehab existing facilities. Mayor Grant noted this plan was for fiscal year 2017 and asked if the buildings would last one more year. Mr. Groff explained they cannot pick all of the items; it was one or the other, The City has other buildings that if they do not spend $15 million over the next five years, they cannot stay in there. If they do not decide to do something else, they have to stay there. Other ideas were to have a public private partnership to bring mixed -uses into the area which would provide a new City Hall. Town Square would include a new City Hall, a new civic area, a rebuilt Old High School, Civic Center and a lot of mixed-use development, which will help pay the City's portion of the cost. One option is to include a new police and fire station, or take it out as a separate P3 or general obligation bond. He thought there were multiple options to go offsite for the Meeting Minutes Special Meeting Boynton Beach, Florida June 24, 2016 Police and Fire Departments. They have met with both Chiefs and there are positive impacts, or the City could use the High Ridge site. A second recommendation is to open up the projects, see what works best for developers and what gives the City the best financially feasible project for the next 50 years. Option three is to let the developer do what they want and get six or seven options and the City selects the one best for the City. Ms. LaVerriere explained the difference is to issue an RFP for a P3, and the City adopted a resolution for a P3. If police and fire go out for separate financing, the site would be more attractive to the development Community. The City knows it wants to save the Old High School and they need a City Hall. Staff could go straight out to RFP, and give a deadline to respond. Commissioner Casello noted the City Commission gave direction to keep the Old High School and some developers backed out because of it, Mr. Groff explained the Old High School can be included. Options two and three included the Old High School. Vice Mayor McCray asked how many bonds were outstanding and when they would mature. Tim Howard, Finance Director, responded there was one public service tax bond outstanding which was just refinanced last year. The bond would mature in 2026. The refinance was $19 million. Commissioner Casello noted the refinance saved the City $2 million. He explained there are two Bonds for Utilities, but they are separate because they are paid by utilities and the two of them total $45 million. Option three pulled out the Police and Fire Departments and that was a $25 million funding issue that had to be addressed and could be addressed through revenue bonds or general obligation bonds. Mr. Groff commented the last scenario, if there is no option to rebuild, was it would revert back to option one. There are major structural Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning issues that would have to be addressed. Commissioner Romelus asked in consideration of a P3 partnership, how long before a bid was issued so they do not have to spend the $15 million and start with Phase One of the project. Mr. Groff responded it would take about 120 days if the Commission directed. He commented even with a P3, there is money involved and the City would lease back to the developer over a period of time. There would be funding for Police and Fire separately and then funding with a bond or general obligation bond. Ms. LaVerriere requested the Commission consider if police and fire were offsite, if they would go out to referendum during the next election. If approved, the money provides a funding source for the facility and it is a separate debt millage, not incorporated into the tax millage, so it would be a dedicated revenue source. The City would need to invest $40 to $50 million in the Town Square with all these facilities, and the cost cannot be absorbed in the millage rate. Other funding sources would be needed. She suggested going to referendum for police and fire, and add the Old High School too if desired. If it did not N Meeting Minutes Special Meeting Boynton Beach, Florida June 24, 2016 pass, the issue would revert back to Option B, which was either to increase taxes to 8.8 to 9 mills or go back to option 1. Commissioner Casello asked Mr. Groff for his best estimate for a Police/Fire public safety building and learned it would be about $25 million as a conservative estimate. Commissioner Casello noted they now have a proposal or plan for Town Square which would be about $27 million, Ms. LaVerriere explained a public safety building would be a three-story facility, which would give room for growth and the Fire Department would be on the third floor. Commissioner Katz commented he preferred to have a workshop on the matter to review everything, item by item after staff reviewed the various options for the Commission's input and then the RFP would come into play. Commissioner Casello explained this item is time sensitive as there is a cycle. Mr. Groff agreed a workshop would be important to get clear direction. He agreed the RFP must be exactly what the Board wants as it is a 50 -year vision. Commissioner Romelus agreed. Commissioner Casello thought if another workshop would be held, a decision should be made as he thought too many plans were sitting on the shelf, and citizens will lose confidence in them. Mr. Groff agreed it would go from the workshop right into the RFP. Ms. Pulliman summarized there was discussion regarding a public private partnership, rehabilitating existing facilities or issue a bond for new facilities. When the Board prioritizes, they will prioritize three items. Mayor Grant wanted to include in the workshop, developing bond financing for the Old High School and give direction to the CRA to land bank in the downtown. Commissioner Katz thought prior to the workshop they should put their ideas together. Ms. LaVerriere explained they had discussed the Old High School, if it should be saved, and if it should it go to referendum for its own bond, plus a separate bond for the Police and Fire Department facility as a separate question on the ballot. Vice Mayor McCray commented he would be willing to go for two bonds on a referendum, unless it is a lump sum. After further brief discussion there was agreement to only rank "Solicit an RFP for Redevelopment of 16.5 acres Town Square, and Develop Bond Financing Source for new Police Headquarters and Fire Station No. 1, outside of the Town Square project, and hold a quick workshop. Community Events was defined as the growth of current and future events; staffing and resources for events; current and potential event locations; their economic input; and volunteer program. The three initiatives identified were to review and discuss existing potential city-wide community events, develop and document a year-long City-wide community event plan including staffing, marketing, partnerships and sponsorships, future event site modifications, and explore having a city-wide event volunteer program. im Meeting Minutes Special Meeting Boynton Beach, Florida June 24, 2016 Ms. LaVerriere inquired if the Commission wanted to hold one or two stellar events per year and thought a discussion on appropriate events for Boynton Beach to foster community pride was needed. She pointed out the Pirate Fest was a huge success and/or the City could pare down the Kinetic Art Symposium and hold it each year instead of every two. She noted it is unique and no other city in the State holds one. If so, they have to discuss staffing and money. Vice Mayor McCray read an article about Delray Beach and the Garlic Fest. He did not want to take on anyone's responsibility to raise $142,000 for one event. He preferred to be unique with the funds the City had and have Boynton -centered events. Commissioner Katz agreed it should be unique and based on the City's culture. Commissioner Romelus thought the CRA did a good job using Ocean Avenue as the location and favored using MLK Jr. Boulevard as a secondary area and not Seacrest Boulevard to create an identity. Vice Mayor McCray explained MLK is only two blocks. If used for events, MLK and a portion of Seacrest would be needed. Commissioner Casello agreed with Vice Mayor McCray and Commissioners Romelus and Katz. The kinetic art is perfect and it should be expanded and the Pirate Fest seems to be expanding on its own. He thought the City had good festivals and has great programs. Ms. LaVerriere noted Recreation and Parks has over 102 events. Ms. Brooks explained they added a St. Patrick 's Day event which is also growing and they have the Boat Parade which is unique. The CRA has monthly events and one event staff. They expect 100,000 people on Ocean Avenue for the Pirate Fest this year and they would like to expand it down to the Marina. Commissioner Romelus wants it to be held on Ocean Avenue, and have the mom and pop businesses and breweries involved. Ms. LaVerriere noted that is a Chamber of Commerce sponsored event as it is a major fundraiser. She explained they City would collaborate and discuss it with them. Vice Mayor McCray commented safety measures were crossing Seacrest Boulevard for the Pirate Fest and additional lighting was needed. He noted the community has held an MLK Block party, as the Heritage Fest has subsided. Ms. LaVerriere and Ms. Brooks have discussed setting funds in the budget to block off roads for an event and have bands. Commissioner Casello wanted the holiday festival day parade being held at the same time as the tree lighting to be reconsidered. After discussion, there was agreement to change the language for initiative no. 1 to develop a unique identity of our Citywide Community Events - Special and Annual events. If these are highly ranked, the initiative would go into effect in 2017. The direction would be to expand the uniqueness around the boat parade and kinetic art, and the activities would not be linked to Delray Beach. Vice Mayor McCray noted there were activities on MLK Boulevard years ago. Commissioner Katz thought a beer 11 Meeting Minutes Special Meeting Boynton Beach, Florida June 24, 2016 festival should be held that is reflective of the City being the most densely populated beer based area. Commissioner Casello suggested adding it to the Harvest /October Fest the Chamber of Commerce holds. Eleanor Krusell explained she was working to fund a brewery tour that would be part of the Pirates Fest. She spoke to two breweries and they were both in support. Mayor Grant noted other year-long events were Music in the Park, Movies on the Rocks, and an art walk similar to Clematis by Night. They have events on Fridays in the City to go with the other special City events. He thought they were working to provide more funding. His distinction was one was year-long and one was special event. Many of the events were monthly, and not each Friday. Commissioner Katz cautioned the annual and year-long events should not overbook staff. The calendar has to include the annual and year-long events. Ms. Pulliam suggested adding both special and annual events to number one. Initiative three was to explore the development of a City-wide event volunteer program as the City would like to foster more volunteers. Commissioner Romelus thought a list of volunteers could be used. Mayor Grant asked if this included volunteer help for special events. A full volunteer program would involve training, tee-shirts or badges, and funding. Ms. LaVerriere explained the City can develop the framework and if they could not fund it, they could do so next year. Preserve and Beautify Green Space was defined as parks vision, purpose and development/maintenance of Sara Sims Master Plan, a pocket Park on MLK (both of which were CRA Plans) and the Quantum EcoPark. It was further defined as enhanced entries at major gateways into the City, Greenway/Blueways systems developed, the golf course and parking facility usage and maintenance. Ms. Pulliman explained the Initiative had to do with the Golf Course and a financial discussion would be needed if it was ranked a high priority. Mayor Grant asked if the golf course was profitable and learned it was not at the moment. Mr. Groff noted there will be a budget discussion regarding recommendations. The initiative is to direct staff to develop a plan to make the Golf Course financially sustainable, Commissioner Casello mentioned he is a member of the Links and had previously worked there. He thought it was one of the amenities the City has along with the Marina and the beach. It is an Enterprise account that did well for years, but competition brings the revenue down. There is a $2 impact fee per round at approximately 60,000 rounds, but the monies are used for maintenance. He felt the City should either make a commitment to have a golf course or not. At one time the Links was rated the number one municipal golf course, but it suffered because of the rain earlier in the year and the type of greens it has. If the City Commission makes a commitment, they should redo 12 Meeting Minutes Special Meeting Boynton Beach, Florida the putting greens as it is the signature of any golf course. Commissioner Casello thought the City should come up with ideas how to generate income and noted there are service trucks driving around Boynton and thought advertising on the wasted space on the trucks would be helpful. He thought the City should advertise the City in different forms and innovative ways to make it happen. He favored the City re-examining how to do this and the Golf Course should remain on the list of initiatives. Mayor Grant recessed the meeting for a short break at 10:33 a.m. and reconvened the meeting at 10:43 a.m. A second initiative added by the CRA was a dog park in the downtown. There is a small City park just south of the CRA building off Federal Highway. Ms. LaVerriere explained there will be a dog park on Renaissance Commons Boulevard and Cortina. Ms. Brooks explained all new developments often allow dogs such as Las Ventanas and Cortina. A third initiative was to review the feasibility of a pocket park on MLK Boulevard. Commissioner Casello expressed concern about maintenance and litter. Ms. Brooks explained it was a suggestion of Vice Mayor McCray in recognition of the Wells family. The CRA owns some lots towards the east end of MLK Boulevard, and a pocket park could be created. Vice Mayor McCray thought it would be appropriate next to the church, because Mr. Wells was associated with the church. There would be benches and chairs, but he did not want to open a Pandora's Box by changing street names. Commissioner Casello asked if this parcel abutted the church, or if it was in the middle of any land assemblage. Ms. Brooks responded it was not. She spoke to Warren Adams, Historic Preservation Planner, and the Coalition of Clergy. They had discussed sidewalk plaques and how to foster community pride on MLK by recognizing families and having quotes from Dr. King. Ms. Brooks would not want to leave out families. Commissioner Casello thought it was amazing a great American had a street named after him, but the condition was sad. The Commission had identified the need to develop a plan to improve the levels of service at park facilities. Vice Mayor McCray noted when people rent pavilions, they leave trash. He thought something should be put in place to ensure renters clean up after themselves. Ms. LaVerriere explained they included in the proposed budget, a part time position to allow the City to rent the pavilion several times during the day. If littered, it is difficult to re -rent the pavilion. There would be an employee to ensure it is clean. Mayor Grant thought if someone left trash, they should lose their deposit. Commissioner Casello thought there should be a banner regarding kayak rentals and noted there will be a floating dock. He would like to see sailboats. Another initiative was to develop a plan for park usage. Commissioner Katz noted the City has no idea how much the parks are used. Ms. LaVerriere suggested reviewing the parks, noting some are underutilized because of location or they are undeveloped. 13 Meeting Minutes Special Meeting Boynton Beach, Florida June 24, 2016 Commissioner Katz asked if this initiative would prioritize parks and learned it would. Many parks that are not used have capital needs. Ms. LaVerriere explained they would discuss capital needs. Vice Mayor McCray inquired if park usage was defined as rentals or individuals using the park and learned it encompassed all of that including if pavilions should be bigger or replaced, maintenance and new playground equipment. Ms. LaVerriere noted playground equipment was in the Capital Improvement Plan, and pointed out the City obtained new shade sails, and renovated the inside of Intracoastal Park Clubhouse. Ms. Pulliman reviewed the Strong Local Economy initiative. A strong local economy was defined as workforce and affordable housing, micro units, an Economic Development Plan and evolving Land Development Regulations. Ms. LaVerriere explained a consultant should finish the Economic Development Plan in August or September, and they will discuss implementing the strategies. They have a position for an Economic Development Planner, but the position would not be filled until the Plan was developed in order to provide direction. Policy decisions will be made, there will be a financial impact and discussions regarding incentives. She anticipated the City should be ready to hire someone by mid -year. This initiative was a continuation from the last few years. Vice Mayor McCray asked if the initiative would require local hiring preference. Ms. LaVerriere responded staff was looking at that in the City's procurement procedures. It would not be addressed so much in the Economic Development plan as it would on the purchasing side. Commissioner Romelus asked how effective local hiring has been in the past, and if minority businesses was encouraged. Ms. LaVerriere responded that is part of a step to implement a Small Woman Minority Business Enterprise program. The City could adopt a program that requires certain percentages of individuals for bids they award and firms they deal with. To do a good job, a disparity study would need to be done. Ms. LaVerriere explained that could be a whole new initiative as part of a small business program. The effort would have to be funded as a consultant would have to conduct a study. When Ms. LaVerriere started, the project was moving forward, but it was not continued. Commissioner Romelus commented small businesses hire about nine employees. Ms. Pulliman explained the conversation was two separate items. The first item to encourage small businesses to locate in the City would be addressed through the Implementation of the Economic Development program. The second item was a small business program including a disparity study and potential minority business enterprise program. Commissioner Casello thought the City should encourage local workforce hiring and proposed it be added it is a requirement and not an encouragement. Ms. LaVerriere agreed to see how other cities handle local preference hiring and suggested it be an initiative. Mr. Groff noted there are pros and cons to doing so. Ms. LaVerriere commented they should develop the framework. Commissioner Romelus noted that is 14 Meeting Minutes Special Meeting Boynton Beach, Florida June 24, 2016 how the City could change the dynamics of 60% of city residents leaving the City to go to work. A second initiative was to develop the framework for a local hiring preference program. The CRA had added the Consolidated CRA plans including updates and the consolidation of four CRA Plans. The Plan will go to the CRA Advisory Board, then the CRA and then the City Commission. There was agreement this item could be removed as it was nearly complete. The Pursue Economic Development Grants Initiative was discussed. Ms. LaVerriere commented this arose from discussions with elected officials, but it was non-specific. Mayor Grant asked if the ADA and Grants person was involved. Ms. LaVerriere explained if staff becomes aware of a grant they research it and they look for new grant opportunities. Ms. LaVerriere thought there was appropriate staff. It was noted Debby Majors coordinates the grants, and after brief discussion, there was agreement to remove the Pursue Economic Development Grants Initiative. City Redevelopment Analysis Initiative was discussed. Mr. Mack explained this initiative was similar to what is being done in the CRA area, but it would encompass the entire City, more specifically reviewing the Gateway, Woolbright, Boynton Beach Boulevard, mall and other main redevelopment areas and have a plan for the rest of the City. Commissioner Katz asked if anything existed for non -CRA areas and learned there was only an informal plan. Mr. Mack explained the Workforce Housing Ordinance direction was suspended and the suspension will expire December 14, 2016. It was suspended due to the economy and development aspects, and staff needed direction to either continue the Ordinance or not. Commissioner Romelus thought the Ordinance should be reinstituted. Mr. Mack asked if the Ordinance was sufficient in its current format or if it warranted further study. Mr. Groff noted the question with the initiative, when it returns should it be enhanced or remain as is. Mayor Grant asked about the timing of a workforce housing plan and learned if not developed until after the suspension is lifted, it would not count with the Ordinance. Mr. Mack explained when they submit the plan is when it counts. It would be active and applicable to the Ordinance after December 14th. Commissioner Romelus asked if the initiative could be addressed sooner and learned the City could if it was a priority. The Ocean Breeze East Development was discussed. Ms. LaVerriere asked if the Commission should consider the Police and Fire Station and the Town Square. Commissioner Katz commented, as it relates to the Town Square, he prioritized the site as high. He questioned if Fire and Police would move to the site and noted Ocean Breeze East is no different than the Town Square. He thought a decision had to be made. 15 Meeting Minutes Special Meeting Boynton Beach, Florida June 24, 2016 Ms. Pulliam suggested if prioritizing Town Square development items, it should be a follow on. Commissioner Casello thought it should be an add-on if it did not become a fire or police site. It was approved for multi -family units. He thought they should reconsider single-family homes which were successful in Ocean Breeze West, and it would do wonders in the HOB for people to take pride in their properties. The MLI{ Corridor redevelopment was a high priority for Vice Mayor McCray and Commissioner Romelus. The Ordinance Review Work Group, which was a citizen review group, was the Mayor's initiative. Mayor Grant had wanted to work with City staff for a review. Ms. LaVerriere explained it was a separate initiative. Mr. Groff commented this item was more outside of the task force. A citizen group would take an Ordinance or a Code and review best practices and bring it back to staff with recommendations for that specific Code. Staff will determine the priorities the Task Force would review, as an example for a more Livable Workable Neighborhood, they would review Sign Codes and others. There was discussion there would be redundancies; however, there would only be redundancies if the City assigned the ordinances to the Work Group the Task Force would review. It would not be redundant outside of them. The City Commission would give one or two assignments a year to a group of people with expertise in certain areas. They will work autonomously and make a recommendation to staff which would be forwarded to the City Commission, Staff would make the Task Force non -redundant. Transportation and Mobility was defined as traffic on major arteries, pedestrian traffic/access, senior citizen mobility, busing, complete streets and a trolley. Ms. Brooks explained construction of the Boynton Beach Boulevard Improvements Initiatives involved landscape improvements, wider sidewalks and improving traffic entryway to the Downtown. There is not enough room to meet the standards for a complete street with the bike lane, which will be on Ocean Avenue. Staff was unable to do everything as there is not enough public right-of-way. It was noted bicyclists are not supposed to ride on sidewalks. Ms. Brooks explained a complete street is a node for those using modes other than cars. Jeff Livergood, Public Works and Engineering Director, explained it emphasizes important considerations are pedestrians and cyclists. Commissioner Romelus stepped out of the meeting at 11:30 a.m. Major Intersections Design Upgrades pertained to managing traffic in an urban area through design and not construction. Ms. Brooks explained staff was working with FDOT on conceptual plans for Federal Highway creating a road, similar to what Delray Beach did with US 1, with on -street parking. She noted traffic would be a little bit constrained in the Downtown Corridor from NE 61h to Woolbright Road. The CRA would enhance areas with landscaping and wider sidewalks. It would not be similar to MLK and Seacrest. Ms. Brooks explained if the intersection was narrowed with the road, it was feasible to do something with the design. iG Meeting Minutes Special Meeting Boynton Beach, Florida June 24, 2016 The Wayfinding Signage initiative was reviewed. Vice Mayor McCray thought it was long overdue. Ms. Brooks noted some signage is already used such as for City Hall. Staff would have to review where the amenity is located, what they want the sign to say, and major points of interest in the downtown would be used. Commissioner Romelus returned at 11:34 p.m. Mayor Grant noted the Marina, Schoolhouse Children's Museum and Library would be points of interest in the downtown. Mayor Grant asked if it included the different events they have in the city. Ms. Pulliam remarked it could be considered if it floats to the top. Vice Mayor McCray asked about signage by the cemetery, and by St. John Missionary Baptist Church. Mr. Livergood explained both the City and County have placed those signs in the past. They are directional signage which the City allows for only non—profit entities, which is different. Wayfinding signs direct one to a district or area. Vice Mayor McCray explained if you have too many signs or if they are not uniform, it looks sloppy. He asked if the City could regulate them better. Mr. Livergood explained -there are provisions in the Land Development Regulations and the process to be followed. Mayor Grant was at the Metropolitan Planning Organization and commented there is a change in the Statute to allow the City to have a Mobility Fee. Currently, the City's impact fee goes to the County. Since the impact fee was started, the County collected $24 million from the City and returned $4 million. When asked why, their response was they made improvements before the fees were initiated. He thought it should be a priority that new development impact fees stay with the City. The fees could be used for the trolley, sidewalks, and public and mass transportation. Mr. Groff agreed. The initiative is to direct staff to develop a mobility fee under the new rule to replace the traffic impact fee. He noted there are several ways to do so, and staff can work with the county or handle it in-house. The initiative is to direct staff to develop a plan to lower the impact fees and keep more money in the City, so the City could develop more projects. Commissioner Katz asked about the ramifications and learned, with new development, the impact fees pay for the incremental increased need on the infrastructure. Mr. Livergood explained this was historically a road impact fee. To some degree, over the years, many of the highway impact fees went outside the City. The MPO is looking at the mobility fee on a county -wide basis. Mr. Livergood explained he sits on the MPO and chaired the subcommittee reviewing the issue and they will continue working on a county -wide mobility fee, because the County recognized there were inequities created. If there is a County -wide mobility impact fee, it would be applied in a similar fashion to all municipalities and they would receive an FDOT analysis that Would return to the MPO in July about leveraging State funds. The MPO can help develop the mobility plans. 17 Meeting Minutes Special Meeting Boynton Beach, Florida June 24, 2016 Another way to proceed is to create the City's own mobility fee. When a developer comes to the community, they know when they are paying into the mobility plan, they will know there will be a plan implemented which could include bike lanes, pedestrian movements, trolleys, shuttle or enhanced Palm Tran Service, and they will get those services. Mr. Livergood explained it would be costly to create because a consultant must be hired to create the mobility plan, which must be feasible. The City could not say they will build a bike lane unless the City would identify where it would be located, how they would build it, and identify the cost which would be included in the Plan. The same would apply to a trolley system, identifying where it would travel, how it would be run and what it would cost. The mobility fee is money to initiate that system and the community would have to pay to maintain it in perpetuity. Mr. Livergood advised the City could see how the County system would play out or create their own. It was recognized the City wants to implement either one quickly to accommodate development in process and staff is working with the County Highway Department to identify locations to invest the transportation impact fees they have collected. There will be a $2 million project in 2019 at Gateway and High Ridge Road with plans 65% complete. Staff has ideas where to put roundabouts in the community and had discussed with the County improvements on Woolbright at Federal Highway to increase capacity in that area. Mr. Groff clarified the initiative is to direct staff to pursue this and bring back a plan that would provide the most bang for the buck. Vice Mayor McCray asked if any other cities were doing this already and learned West Palm Beach was spending $500,000 on a mobility plan. Commissioner Katz thought it may be easier to see what the County does than develop their own. Mr. Livergood was optimistic with the County's approach, and advised there will be another meeting in July. The question was whether to move forward with the County or not and staff would bring back how. Commissioner Casello queried if road impact fees are determined by square footage or the population of the development. Mr. Mack responded both as some are based on the square footage and others are based on dwelling units, Commissioner Casello noted the Lake Worth Christian School was expanding and they are asking for road impact fees. The developer asserts the school already paid impact fees and the County was contending they were increasing the usage by the number of students. Mr. Mack explained there is a list and there are various ways to tabulate the fees. The Seacrest Boulevard Complete Streets Pilot Program was discussed. Mayor Grant asked if the program would start at Gulfstream and extend to Hypoluxo. Mr. Mack explained the Strategic Plan calls for the adoption of the Complete Street Policy. A Complete Streets Pilot Policy would continue the projects that Delray Beach started on Seacrest Boulevard that stops at Gulfstream. It was planned to continue to the northern City limits and hopefully the County would continue it to Hypoluxo Road in three phases. The City would do the design and drawings. There would be funding and the City would petition the MPO to add this to the MPO's request for funds. Meeting Minutes Special Meeting Boynton Beach, Florida June 24, 2016 Commissioner Romelus noted Seacrest Boulevard changes from two lanes to five lanes and asked how it would be handled. Mr. Mack explained the pilot program would produce the designs to determine the cost and impacts for each section of the road. Ms. LaVerriere explained they will have to determine whether the right-of-way has to be taken. There could be impacts on the existing configuration of the road. Downtown parking was a CRA initiative and Ms. Brooks explained the CRA was still looking at sites and wanted to find one that was financially feasible to accommodate parking. Commissioner Casello noted the CRA made progress -the last few years and installed parking across from the Police Department and one on 4th Street. Mayor Grant asked what parking was available for the 500 Ocean project. Mr. Groff explained there was public parking for their retail and it was for the activities at 500 Ocean. Ms. Brooks explained there would be parking on site because of the commuter rail and the CRA was looking for garage sites. Commissioner Romelus asked if the parking would be incorporated into what would be developed and learned the parking would. It would be similar to what Delray Beach did years ago by the Old School Square. They were looking for something that was central that would serve the Marina area. Mr. Mack explained that is not a requirement, but in the past the CRA contributed funds to require parking to be included in the project, such as with Casa Costa. Adding a stipulation to require public parking could make the project economically unfeasible. Mr. Groff clarified if they were adding a CRA initiative regarding downtown parking it would be voted on. A new initiative could be to add a review of City-wide parking standards and public parking, or to review parking regulations in the CRA area. Ms. LaVerriere suggested separating the initiative. Mayor Grant preferred to keep them together to include Industrial Way. It was noted if keeping it in the CRA, they are stuck with one initiative that is two separate things. Commissioner Casello commented all of that is reviewed by the City and City development staff has to write the ordinance. The recommendation is to review downtown parking including potential public parking requirements. Vice Mayor McCray commented the seniors at the Senior Center expressed they wanted the trolley. Mayor Grant wanted to initiate a trolley or alternate transportation methods within the City including the trolley. Commissioner Casello asked why it was discontinued and learned it cost $750,000 per year. Ms. Brooks explained the CRA reviewed the ridership using a ghost rider and learned most were school students that did not use the school bus. The trolley was discontinued in 2010 and development has not increased since 2010. She thought the trolley was premature and she would have to check with the Statute because mobility is not included in the Statute. If there are enough people in the downtown, transporting 19 Meeting Minutes Special Meeting Boynton Beach, Florida June 24, 2016 people outside the CRA area was senseless. The trolley did not serve people within the downtown; it was moving them out of the downtown. Mayor Grant asked if it could be limited to senior riders and learned it could not. He asked about Palm Tran Connection. Vice Mayor McCray favored adding an initiative to initiate and/or expand alternative transportation including the trolley. Commissioner Romelus spoke about beach permits and asked if it was feasible to do away with permits and add parking meters. Mr. Groff explained that would fall under parking utilization studies and mechanisms to fund them. Mayor Grant left at 11:44 a.m. Commissioner Katz spoke about ticket revenue, Mr. Groff explained it is in Ocean Ridge and the City would have to work with them for ticket revenue. The issue is around beach permits versus beach meters. Mr. Majors was making progress on it. Mr. Majors explained the challenge with Oceanfront Park is dealing with Ocean Ridge. He noted often the revenue collected from fines is as much as is collected from the revenue. The City would need an agreement with Ocean Ridge regarding the ticket revenue as it is a significant amount of money, but Ocean Ridge collects the fines. The City could look at Boat Club Park a/k/a Oyer Park. The other side of the issue is the capital cost of at least $300,000 to $400,000 for the equipment and maintenance costs for multiple years. Mr. Majors and Mr. Livergood spoke with Ocean Ridge officials, but it is a policy decision. Mayor Grant returned at 11:48. Commissioner Romelus asked if the City issues parking permits for Ocean Ridge and a citation is issued why it goes to Ocean Ridge. Mr. Majors explained it is the City's park within the Town of Ocean Ridge. Mayor Grant asked if the City pays taxes to Ocean Ridge and learned the City does not. Vice Mayor McCray explained when Ocean Ridge incorporated, the Beach was kept open. Commissioner Casello questioned if a metering system every two hours could be used and learned the Commission makes the decision how long the meter would last. There was discussion Delray Beach meters are timed for every 12 and 15 minutes. Mr. Groff explained they could add a "Review Parking Alternatives and Revenue Methodology at Oceanfront Park initiative." Mr. Livergood explained he and Mr. Majors had these discussions from a recreation, user and engineering perspective. There are multiple parking management systems to maximize revenue and the supply and demand curves crossed. Staff found the annual permit process does not work well with it. If the direction is to look at alternative parking management systems, the Commission will need to determine if they are willing to look at alternatives to the annual fee. If not, it is K11 Meeting Minutes Special Meeting Boynton Beach, Florida June 24, 2016 hard to do. Commissioner Katz noted a future agenda item regarding Boynton Beach providing fire services to Ocean Ridge and thought the City could negotiate that issue, and ensure they get the ticket revenue. Financial Excellence and Sustainability objective was defined as accountability and transparency; pension reform; Capital Improvements funding; maintenance budget for projects previously completed; bonding for capital needs and redevelopment efforts; revenue sources; alternative delivery service models; health enterprise funds; and infrastructure improvement. One initiative was to secure funding to engage an actuary to review alternatives for unfunded pension obligations at an approximate cost of $80,000, Mayor Grant asked how much the unfunded pension liabilities were and learned it was about $110 million. He asked if the City was required to fully fund the pensions and learned the City was not. Tim Howard, Assistant City Manager - Administration/Finance Director, explained there is a plan for the pension plan to become fully funded. Mayor Grant asked what recourse there was if the pension cannot pay the benefits because there are no pension funds. Mr. Howard responded they could not get benefits at some point to use if not fully funded and based on each Board's actions, the actuary conducts a review and determines the normal contribution. The City contributes about $14 million each year. Commissioner Casello asked about public safety going to the County. The last time the City considered it, the proposal was the City's pension plan for Police remained open and the Officers could stay with the City's retirement plan or enroll in the County's retirement plan. The guess was the majority of Officers would stay with the City's Plan because the City's multiplier was higher. The County would give a credit based on the percent they would pay toward the share of the pension plan, and the City would have to make up the difference. There was still a liability and the estimate was $2 million to $4 million. Commissioner Casello wanted to have a complete apples -to -apples study what the benefit would be if the City Police Department went to the Sheriff's Department and what cost would be incurred. He commented the City never took the information to that level. He thought with the new facility costing $20 to $25 million, plus costs for body cameras, the firing range needing a sprinkler, and $2.5 million for a new radio system, the City should entertain having a study. Commissioner Romelus thought an initiative to Secure Funding to Engage an Actuary to Review Alternatives for Unfunded Pension Obligations with an approximate cost of $80,000 was redundant. Ms. LaVerriere explained each plan has an actuary, and the City engaged their actuary, Pete Strong of Gabriel Roeder and Smith (GRS). The Police Plan Actuary gave permission for Mr. Strong to work with the City and share all communications. This initiative would be to hire a consultant, not an actuary, to review PW Meeting Minutes Special Meeting Boynton Beach, Florida June 24, 2016 the structure and unfunded liability for each plan, and make recommendations how to modify the plans to pay them off sooner, stop the escalating costs and develop other options. She noted they would also have to be collectively bargained. The Commission could consider changing the guaranteed rates of returns, retirement ages, and other elements to contain the costs. There was agreement to change the word from actuary to consultant in the initiative. Vice Mayor McCray asked how in-depth the report from the Sheriff Department was. Ms. LaVerriere explained the request was for a rough proposal, not a formal feasibility study making a full comparison. Vice Mayor McCray noted other cities that had the studies done were sorry they were done. Commissioner Casello disagreed. Ms. LaVerriere explained the budget and accounting practices published and made available on the web, are a legal requirement. There are programs available that can include more detail of the status of the City's finances and increase transparency. It is a best practice. There is a minimal maintenance cost and staff time involved. It is a technology update costing about $10,000 to $15,000. Ms. LaVerriere explained the Develop Framework for Performance Measurements, Initiative was how to develop a performance matrix to analyze how the City is doing so they could implement it in the next three or four years. Commissioner Romelus thought this would address Vice Mayor McCray and Commissioner Casello's comments the City puts plans in place that sit. Ms. LaVerriere noted the City has a strategic plan, and every year, each plan is addressed and not shelved. It is the City's "To Do" list and the plans allow the City Commission to evaluate services and performance, Vice Mayor McCray disagreed every objective was met, The Conduct City-wide Service Assessment initiative would cost $15,000. Eleanor Krusell explained the item would survey residents, tourists and customers, to provide the City with how the public feels the City is providing services as a municipality. It is a broad survey to comprehensively assess how they are performing. Other cities are conducting these surveys every other year. There is a cost factor. Individuals can go on the web to see the responses, and the City can base their next strategic plan initiatives on the survey results. Depending on the vendor used, the survey cannot be stacked. One vendor is a national survey company that would give comparisons from other like - sized municipalities. Vice Mayor McCray asked when the last City-wide services survey was conducted. Mayor Grant noted this survey would be much broader than what the Financial Advisory Committee survey considered. Ms. Krusell explained the survey needed a component to allow the participant to provide feedback and would contain about 35 questions. Mr. Mack explained the Business Tax Receipt/Certificate of Use Expansion initiative would move forward with additional personnel to expand enforcement of the Business Tax Receipt and Certificate of Use. This would be a City-wide initiative. Commissioner 22 Meeting Minutes Special Meeting Boynton Beach, Florida June 24, 2016 Casello noted many people use their homes as rentals and they are not always easy to find. He thought they could contact the HOAs and ask what homes are being used as rentals. It is a revenue producer. Ms. LaVerriere explained there is a position in the budget to address the matter. Business Process Improvements was an initiative to use an electronic plan submittal process. It is a technology upgrade, but there were capital costs, training and succession planning. In prior years, the cost would be about $150,000. Mr. Mack Would have to review the current cost of the upgrade. Initiative 8 was Develop Framework and Funding Mechanism for Recurring Costs for roads, sidewalks, parks, buildings, lands, etc. and Mr. Groff explained this is for maintenance funding. He explained from 2008 to the present, the City did not replace any infrastructure unless it failed. He explained the infrastructure was now at the point to fix or remove it. The Commission needed a strategy for reoccurring funding to be available when items need to be replaced. Commissioner Casello asked if the monies from the upcoming one cent sales tax referendum could be used and learned some of it would, with the larger items. A long-term plan was needed. Vice Mayor McCray asked how much money was budgeted for sidewalk replacement. Mr. Livergood responded there was about $50,000. The City did not have a very large program in the last 10 years and the City has not funded it each year. Vice Mayor McCray commented the City should have kept the sidewalks up. A citizen fell and sued the City. Mr. Livergood explained he could spend $500,000 a year just on sidewalk replacements. Commissioner Romelus asked when they would create initiatives if the one -cent sales tax was approved. Ms. LaVerriere explained the capital improvements plan was the initiative and it was submitted to the County. The issue would be discussed during the budget workshops and it will be prioritized. Initiatives 9, 10 and 11 were removed as they are in the CRA Consolidated Plan. High Performing Organization objective was defined as employee assets, professional work environment; competitive opportunities in local government workplace; internal department service levels; and investment in organizational infrastructure. Vice Mayor McCray inquired about the classification and compensation study initiative and commented there are African-Americans qualified for internal positions. He asked why some of those employees are not moved up. Ms. LaVerriere responded the City does not discriminate and they carefully review the employees' qualifications and experience. There is an interview and ranking process with quantifiable measures the Human Resources Department uses regarding how promotions are made. Vice Mayor McCray explained District 11 residents are saying the ratio of employees the City has does not match the demographics of African Americans in the City. Vice Mayor McCray RE Meeting Minutes Special Meeting Boynton Beach, Florida June 24, 2016 would like to have it measured. A diversity study would not cover that, but an initiative could be added to measure it. Ms. Matras in Development has the latest figures. Mr. Mack also commented it is in the development atlas. Ms. LaVerriere explained the City has the diversity study as far as the population and employees including ethnicities and gender. There is an employee profile and City demographics profile. This item would not be an initiative, but will be a report. Mayor Grant asked if the classification or compensation study was a comparison with other cities. Julie Oldbury, Human Resources Director, explained it was more than 10 years since the City did a study of this nature and they reviewed all job classifications and descriptions to ensure it reflects the work that is being done and needs to be done and that employees are compensated appropriately. They also reviewed data and surveys from external markets, including other cities and private markets to determine the competitive nature for those jobs and salaries. This could be done primarily internally, and would involve some funding over the next three years. Year one would be to fund a software program to compile the data and assist with the analysis. Year two would gather the data and conduct the analysis and in year three, the City would implement the changes. The Employee On-site Medical Clinic initiative was discussed. Commissioner Casello did not recall the City Commission voting that this would be the best location. Ms. Oldbury explained this item was discussed last year during the Strategic Plan meeting and they identified space which was always an issue. Staff got permission to issue an RFP for services at the location Commissioner Casello noted the CRA building on Federal Highway and the rent is about $8,000 a year. He pointed out there is room in the West Wing for CRA staff to work there. He thought the building would be perfect for a medical clinic. The current proposal involved a cost. Additionally, Delray Beach has a medical clinic and he thought clinics were based on per visit. He thought the City should investigate further as all options were not explored. Ms. LaVerriere explained the City was not committed to any certain space and the CRA office could be considered. There had also been consideration of moving Utilities/Customer Service there as well. The RFP was not considering office space or construction; it was only the program and setup. Mr. Groff explained there is space in the water administration building that was used for another purpose. The City is not committed to any one location. Ms. LaVerriere had also directed staff to talk with Delray Beach, who was also issuing an RFP and doing something with their clinic. Vice Mayor McCray asked who served on the Evaluation Committee. Ms. Oldbury explained she, Toby Athol, John McMann, Colin Groff, Tim McPherson and the Gehring Group served. Commissioner Romelus wanted to discuss having the CRA vacating their current office space. Mr. Groff explained there is an issue at their current location and they either have to spend a lot of money which affects the Town Square Development or find a 24 Meeting Minutes Special Meeting Boynton Beach, Florida June 24, 2016 location to address the issues they have. It just happens for now the CRA Building is a good solution. An initiative for Utilization of Space was added to High performing organization. Commissioner Casello wanted to have a discussion about the financial feasibility on the savings that could occur by hiring in-house lawyers. He also had concerns about how the City outsources litigation to Lyman Reynolds, and it is a significant cost. An initiative of Financial Feasibility of Legal Services was added to High Performing Organization. Mayor Grant recessed the meeting at 12:50 p.m. for lunch and reconvened the workshop at 1:20 p.m. Ms. Pulliam congratulated all for progressing through the bulk of the workshop and she explained the prioritization process to be followed. She explained there are about 15 non -CRA initiatives and the most important initiatives will be identified as the top priorities, which staff will work on. Ms. Pulliman explained each Commissioner can vote on Five items per round and will rank five items as number one during the first round. During the first round each Commissioner will review the Objective/Initiative Boards. Anything that gets five votes right away is automatically a top high priority. None of the initiatives will come off the list. They will remain because they are important and will be reviewed next year. They would then proceed for six rounds. She explained The Safe and Livable Neighborhoods had two posters of initiatives. Any initiative that receives four votes will also be a top priority. The Commissioners ranked their priorities at 1:39 p.m. and finished ranking them at 12:11 p.m. Commissioner Romelus left at 2:13 p.m. Ms. Pulliam reviewed the results and explained there is no weighting. Any item with five votes was a top priority and would be addressed through initial discussion, an agenda item, or pertain to funding, staffing resources or policy discussion. In the top priority bucket there are 11 non -CRA items which will be addressed first. Any line item with four votes would be in bucket two. Ms. Pulliam noted there were seven initiatives with four votes which were the next level priorities. She proposed items with three votes be a third tier. Commissioner Katz commented the issue was not that things would not get done; it was there was too much to get done. There was discussion on the tiers and all agreed the top tier would be top priority; anything with four votes was bucket two and a high priority and anything with three votes or lower could be revisited for 2017/2018. Ms. Pulliam commented most municipalities do not have the resources to address all. Ms. Pulliam will take photos of the boards and email the results to them. 25 Meeting Minutes Special Meeting Boynton Beach, Florida June 24, 2016 Ms. Pulliam read the top priorities identified in the first tier as: • Review Feasibility of Dog Park (CRA) under the Green Space: Preserve and Beautify Objective; • Business Tax Receipt/Certificate of Use under the Financial Excellence and Sustainability Objective; • Policing Innovation Program under the Safe and Livable Neighborhoods Objective; • Develop Bond Financing for New Police Headquarters and Fire Station No. 1 outside of Town Square project, and Solicit RFP for Redevelopment of 16.5 Acres Town Square, from the Town Square Redevelopment Objective; • Links Golf Course Financial Sustainability under the Green Space: Preserve and Beautify Objective; • Develop a Unique Identity for Events under the Foster Community Pride through Citywide Community Events Objective; • MLK Corridor Redevelopment under the Strong Local Economy Objective; • Employee On-site Medical Clinic under the High Performing Organization Objective; and • Develop a Framework and Funding Mechanism for Recurring Costs for Roads, Sidewalks, Parks, Buildings, Lands, etc. to Financial Excellence and Sustainability Objective.

Ms. Pulliman advised staff will start to bring forward, as the budget process runs parallel, what resources, staffing and budget implications there are. Anything that requires ongoing maintenance is important to remember as the Commission makes its decisions. Maintenance is required. Commissioner Casello inquired if any items in the top bucket could be dropped. Ms. Pulliam responded that was a Commission decision. As the budget starts to emerge, the Commission may realize they cannot address one W Meeting Minutes Special Meeting Boynton Beach, Florida June 24, 2016 item or does not have the staff to support it. There were between 40 and 50 items that remained that could be pulled. Commissioner Casello asked about the prior Strategic Plan list and if this list would supersede the list from last year. Ms. Pulliam explained any item in progress that needs further funding or direction was on the priority list. Items that were decided on, funded and supported will continue until completed. Completed items were removed from the list and the list was redone since she first did the analysis in May. Vice Mayor McCray commented there are items that must be completed and he did not like the communication and the process. Ms. Pulliam explained as the City added more contacts around the initiatives; staff will put together information on program costs. Ms. Pulliam will have another meeting with high level staff to provide definitions, outcomes and action plans with budgets for items in the top tier. The Commission will then review them and decide if it was what was wanted or if they were moving in the right direction. Ms. Pulliman commented next year, Commissioners should not hear I do not know about an item because they will have been presented with definitions and intentions which staff will work on and present back for Commission comments. Commissioners can make comments, and that will determine the 2017 items they need to consider when the budget is presented. Vice Mayor McCray announced he was disgusted. Motion Vice Mayor McCray moved to adjourn. Commissioner Casello seconded the motion. Vote The motion unanimously passed. The meeting was adjourned at 2:44 p.m. (Continued on next page) 27 Meeting Minutes Special Meeting Boynton Beach, Florida June 24, 2016 F.,Vs—fw.ffl Ju#w.-Pyle, CIVIC loterim City Clerk Catherine Cherry Minutes Specialist 28 ice M .aKr '- - M4ck McCray Coafmism'oner - J missioAe/ - Christina Romelus City Commission Workshop June 24, 2016 www.Boynton-Beach.org Purpose of the Workshop • Review Definitions to ensure common language • Go over the 2017 Process Steps • Confirm Commission Guidelines • Confirm Mission and Vision • Review Strategic Objectives and Initiatives — Discuss the goals and issues for each initiative — Add any new initiatives • Present the prioritization process • Implement the exercise • Specify next steps 2017 Strategic Eden City of Boynton Bea,.,.,h z 6/23/2016 1 The Strategic Plan Drives tete wc. i d Financial Plan Strategic Initiatives The "roof" of the house — the vision and mission — protects the structure at the highest level.
