Re: 2016 Session Summary
The 2016 Legislative Session concluded on Friday, March 11 at 6:45 p.m. Not only does it mark
the end of the official 60 Day Regular Session but it marks the end of several months of
legislative meetings at the Capitol that started in August of 2015. In short, it will probably be
pretty quiet in Tallahassee now until after the November 2016 elections!
It was a pleasure to once again work with you and the entire staff at the City of Boynton Beach.
I appreciate the updates and alerts that you and John sent me. With 1,880 bills filed this Session
you can never have enough eyes helping watch everything!
If you would like more information on any issue or if there is legislation you would like to know
about that I did not include please feel free to let me know.
Boynton Beach Appropriation Requests:
We successfully advocated for funding of another water project for the City of Boynton Beach
but unfortunately this year we could not prevent it from being vetoed. Rep. Berman and Sen.
Sachs sponsored our request and the Legislature included $800,000 for the water project at
Mangrove Park in the budget they passed. However, as previously reported, the Governor did
veto this allocation.
Funding for water projects remains a very competitive process. This year the Legislature
received requests for roughly 473 projects totaling over $674 million. From this list the
Legislature approved, and passed in the budget roughly 191 projects totaling $81.7 million. An
obvious significant reduction from the projects that were submitted.
In the budget however, the Governor vetoed 60 water projects totaling around $20 million. In
the end, roughly 28% of all projects that applied were funded and at level of around 9% of the
total amount requested.
We are obviously disappointed with the veto. Of the 60 projects that the Governor vetoed, which
included Boynton Beach, he stated this:
objective, not all projects demonstrate an ability to clearly
contribute to a statewide investment. The following projects

are vetoed because they did not provide a clear return for the
investment
I remain optimistic we can be successful next year in this area and we will continue to work with
the City staff to strengthen our applications and projects for the 2017 Session.
On a positive front we were successful in advocating for funding of the Florida Recreation
Development Assistance Program (FRDAP). After mixed results in the early stages of the
budget drafting process, in the end the Legislature provided enough funding for the Small
Development Projects to reach the City of Boynton Beach Congress Avenue Barrier Free Park
project which was ranked #51 of 132 projects. The City will receive $50,000 for the project.
Legislative Tracking Report:
Below is a summary of bills that were the most noteworthy to the City of Boynton Beach.
HB 4027 Relating to Traffic Infraction Detectors by Rep. Artiles (R, Miami) DIED
The House once again passed a bill that would have repealed provisions relating to the
installation & use of traffic infraction detectors, better known as Red Light Cameras. The bill

SB 1138 Relating to Ethical Marketing Practices for Substance Abuse Services by Sen.

committees.
HB 1361 Relating to Growth Management by Rep. LaRosa (R, Kissimee) and Sen. Diaz de
la Portilla (R, Miami) PASSED
This was the main growth management bill this year and unlike other Sessions was pretty well
balanced in terms of public and private sector support. In short summary from the bill analysis
the bill does the following:

to 110 acres.

HB 1389 Relating to Special Risk Class by Rep. Rader (D, Boca Raton) DIED

Senate.
HB 1021 and SB 1220 Relating Award of Attorney Fees in Public Records Enforcement
Actions by Rep. Steube (R, Sarasota) and Sen. Garcia (R, Miami) DIED
These bills looked to address the problem of predatory public records request for quick
settlements to attorneys, a problem that has increasingly impacted many local Governments.
They would have provided guidance to judges in determining whether to grant or deny
enforcement costs, including reasonable attorney fees, in actions requiring agencies to disclose
public records. A court would have had to assess and award the reasonable costs of enforcement,
including reasonable attorney fees, against the responsible agency if it determined that the
agency unlawfully refused to permit the public record to be inspected or copied; and the
complainant provided written notice identifying the public record req
custodian of public records at least 5 days before filing the civil action.
passed the Senate without much opposition but the House bill stalled in the Committee process.

priority of many cities and I think you will see it filed again in 2017.

VIII. OLD BUSINESS:
a. Discussion about dissolution of Veterans Board and substitution options
Mr. Livergood discussed the history of the Veterans Advisory Commission. He noted
the many successes that the Veterans Commission has had over the years. There
has been significant attention given to veterans matters. Most prominently, the
Veterans Commission has overseen the installation of dozens of monuments at
Veteran Park on Federal Highway.
Mr. Livergood stated that the Veterans Commission today appears to be functioning
more in maintenance mode. He commented that the hard work has been completed
and that the majority of Veterans Commission activities seem to be focused on
conducting the routine events at Veterans Park. Chair Kaiser concurred and
commented on how proud he was of the park. Chair Kaiser stated that the City had
been outstanding in creating the Veterans Commission and allowing the Veterans to
place the monuments. Chair Kaiser said that the City is always there for the
Veterans.
Mr. Livergood commented that it is becoming more difficult to provide staff support to
the Veterans, particularly at the Veterans Commission meetings. The work load on
is time consuming. Mr. Livergood commented that there are
very few Veterans Commission actions or discussions that rise to the level of taking
public record minutes.
Mr. Livergood suggested that the Veterans Commission could be dissolved.
Chair Kaiser asked how coordination for events at the park would continue.

Meeting Minutes
Veterans Advisory Commission
Boynton Beach, Florida March 9, 2016
Mr. Livergood advised that the park is public and that any entity could have events at
this location. Mr. Livergood said that he believes that Veterans events remain
valuable to the greater Boynton Beach community. As such, he foresees City
assistance continuing during event coordination, assuming the number of annual
events remain reasonable.
Mr. Kaiser inquired if the City would still provide portable toilets. Mr. Livergood said
yes, depending upon the anticipated number of attendees and the length of the
ceremony.
Mr. Kaiser inquired about Veterans Commission membership in the future. Mr.
Livergood stated that the veterans would be able to meet at any time, with any
membership roster that it deems appropriate. The Commission would no longer be
subject to City Commission appointments nor would there be a residency
requirement. Mr. Gavlick commented that would be a good thing as they have trouble
recruiting members.
Mr. Kaiser inquired about meeting space. Mr. Livergood reminded the members that
they also have space at the American Legion and VFW. The Commission members
agreed that meeting space would not be a problem. Discussion followed with
consensus to have meetings at the VFW. Mr. Livergood commented that he could
attend the meetings if the veterans so wish.
There was further discussion by the members.
MR. GAVLICK MOVED TO RECOMMEND TO THE BOYNTON BEACH CITY
COMMISSION THAT THE VETERANS ADVISORY COMMISSION BE DISSOLVED.
MR. GURLEY SECONDED. THE MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.
There was further discussion about meeting coordination. Mr. Kaiser again
commented about how well the Veterans Commission had served the community. He
believed Bob Ensler would be proud.

Mr. Gurley and Ms. Moore discussed the possibility of having a memorial marker at
the park to recognize canine involvement in our military. Mr. Gurley noted that as a
veteran beneficiary of a service dog he would like to be involved with this endeavor.

Administrator. This could be an opportunity to place art in the park.
