Mr. Lee distributed a handout to the Commission and staff and gave an overview
of the various functions of the Department. A new division was added to Human
Resources called Professional Development, to provide in-house training for all
employees. Mr. Lee next reviewed the Department's goals and objectives. One
of their major goals is to become fully computerized by the end of this fiscal year.
A project team is working on a pay for performance system and the actual form
to be used should be ready by next spring.
Last year staff consisted of 6.5 persons. This year staff will consist of 7.0
persons, plus the professional development person.
Employee anniversary awards have been reduced from $25,500 to $10,000. It is
anticipated that not as many awards would be given out this year. Pins and the
employee cruise will still be offered.
The wellness program has been reduced from $4,000 to $3,000. In the past the
City used to have a full-fledged wellness program and this is being revisited in an
attempt to lower health insurance costs.
Advertising has been reduced from $72,500 to $65,000, which is one of the
Department's biggest expenses.
Commissioner Fisher inquired if the City does any Internet advertising? Mr. Lee
replied that the City advertises on two web sites. Mr. Lee also noted that the City
advertises not only in the Sunday papers, but also in professional journals and
other available advertising resources. Recruiting Expenses has been entirely
eliminated since there are several City Departments that pay for their own
recruiting expenses.

program and the professional development program.
Commissioner Black would like the wellness program expanded in order that
employees have a place to go for minor complaints. Mr. Lee responded that he
has been talking with Assistant Fire Chief Jim Ness to make the clinic utilized by
the Fire Department available to other employees.
Commissioner Fisher inquired if the health carriers have been asked to co-op
monies with the City for a wellness program? Mr. Lee replied that Blue
Cross/Blue Shield does not offer this.

$12,081,377
$ 672,131
Assistant Chief Immler was also present with Mike Munro, the Police
Department's Administrative Services Supervisor.
The increase for the most part is due to the negotiated raises for the members of
the Police Force. One full time and one part time Clerk are being added to the
Records Division. Also the Department will be paying partial salaries for two
additional officers towards the end of the fiscal year.
Vehicle maintenance is being increased, as well as the costs of health insurance
and replacement of laptop computers. The Department will maintain 135 sworn
police officers.
Commissioner Black inquired why it was necessary to add the new Clerks.
Assistant Chief Immler pointed out that the Department is reorganizing and is
required by State law to maintain certain statistics for traffic and parking citations
and there has been no one on staff to perform these functions. This will now be
their responsibility.
Commissioner Fisher inquired if there were funds remaining from last year's
salaries and Mr. Munro responded that the Department does not keep the money
from year to year. The money goes back into the Fund Balance.
Commissioner Black inquired about new vehicles and Assistant Chief Immler
responded that whenever there is a request for new personnel, new vehicles
have to be purchased for them. However, there will be no new officers added,
but the vehicles will be used as spares while cars are being repaired or are out of
service. Mr. Munro replied that each year so many vehicles are replaced and

The Department is requesting the addition of three new personnel. One is for an
office assistant to help perform payroll functions, another is for an ITS/
Communications Support Manager and a third position is for a Plan Reviewer for
the Fire and Life Safety Division. Also, it is anticipated that a wellness program
can be developed this year.
Commissioner Fisher inquired why the ITS/Communications Support Manager is
on the Fire Department budget? Mr. Bressner said that it is there to provide
software support to the Fire Department for reporting requirements. This person
would be a liaison with the Communications Department.
Commissioner Black inquired about hurricane supplies and was informed that
this was mostly for software for tracking hurricanes, as well as for the distribution
of some public relations brochures. It also includes necessary supplies in
preparation of a hurricane.
Engineering (Dale Sugerman)
Mr. Sugerman stated that during the past few days, City Management staff has
met with some key departments and looked at the funding for this Department
again. It was determined to redo the Engineering Department budget and staff is
currently reformulating the organization of the Department. Mr. Sugerman
requested two weeks to finalize the budget and stated it would be submitted prior
to the budget hearings.
Commissioner Fisher inquired if this would affect anything else in the budget
itself. Mr. Bressner noted that the Development Department's budget would
change somewhat and that GIS is going to be moved to ITS. Further, Mr.
Bressner pointed out that the money is there, but it needs to be shifted around. It
is still anticipated that the bulk of the engineering projects would continue to be
outsourced. After much discussion, Commissioner Fisher noted that in all
likelihood there will be an increase in the bottom line number and Mr. Bressner
stated this was correct.
Mr. Sugerman noted that this Department's biggest expense is personnel. It is
anticipated that there will be four more openings created that were not funded.
Therefore, money for salaries and benefits needs to be located. Mr. Sugerman
said he would have everything available within two weeks.
Public Works (Chris Roberts)
Ms. Roberts pointed that there are three divisions that are funded under the
General Fund as follows:

and Marking Technician. Ms. Roberts pointed out that $250,000 is earmarked
for street resurfacing next year.
Commissioner Black inquired if the new trash pick-up system will become
citywide? Ms. Roberts responded that currently the program is at full
implementation and there are approximately 11,000 carts being utilized for pick
up at 18,000 homes. With regard to the other neighborhoods in the City, the
residents in those neighborhoods elected not to go with the cart program.
Commissioner Black questioned if the system should become mandatory. Ms.
Roberts replied that in the long run this program would save the City money and
it would be wise to implement it citywide. Ms. Roberts said that a report is
currently being prepared for the program that indicates there is no additional cost
for the program unless a resident asks for an additional cart.

Majors replied negatively. Mr. Bressner asked if Ms. DeFosse could make a golf
cart available to the Recreation Department, and she said had one available.
Commissioner Fisher inquired if the City would be holding two egg hunts? Mr.
Majors stated only one is planned. Commissioner Fisher inquired if there was
enough money in the budget for the Holiday Parade to permit a bigger citywide
celebration? Mr. Majors was not sure, but stated that their Department has
always been able to seek outside funding if necessary. Mr. Bressner said this
would be the reute to follow if the festivities were to be enhanced.
Commissioner Black noted it was an inconvenience to have to go to City Hall in
the Mall to register his children for various City activities and requested that this
be reinstituted at the Art Center and the Hester Center as in the past. Mr. Majors
said that an accountability study is being undertaken to determine the areas from
where people are registering.
Vice Mayor Weiland inquired if the Hester Park pedestrian path that has been
requested would be a jogging trail or walkway around the football field? Mr.

Hester Park area and would be an asphalt path that would go around the
circumference of the baseball and football fields for walking and jogging. This
item has been cut from the budget. Vice Mayor Weiland suggested that a mulch-
jogging trail could be put in through sweat-equity and would be less expensive
than an asphalt trail. Mr. Wildner stated that this had been tried on several
different times and locations in the past, but the trails did not hold up.
Commissioner Black asked for an update on Hester Park Breezeway
renovations. Mr. DeBeck said he expects the permit drawings in his office on
Monday morning and construction should begin in about three months.

2000/01 Proposed Budget
Increase in Budget
$2,656,945
$3,107,933
$ 45O,988
Mr. Wildner said that the majority of the increase is attributable to increased
landscaping and maintenance of the landscaping. Also, the Park's maintenance
budget increased substantially, as well as the costs for water.
Mr. Wildner reviewed the goals of the Parks Department. The City has received
a grant from Palm Beach County to provide landscaping along Hypoluxo Road
from 1-95 to Congress Avenue and should be completed during 2001. A grant
application has been submitted for north Congress Avenue medians, which
would be the last of the landscaping along Congress Avenue. The City's
matching funds for the Hypoluxo landscaping project is $185,000.
Also a grant request has been made to Palm Beach County Beautiful for the
unlandscaped medians on Boynton Beach Boulevard from Congress Avenue to
Lawrence Road. Landscaping projects completed this year include 17th Avenue
Medians, Seacrest Circle Medians, Circle Islands Medians and Ocean Parkway
Medians, all of which will now require maintenance, which accounts for much of
the additional costs. The bid opening for the City's maintenance contract is
scheduled for August 24th.
There is a request for a crew supervisor due to all the new projects coming
onboard. Requests for two other positions were eliminated.
Vice Mayor Weiland inquired if the Woolbright landscaping would include the
palm trees that were lost and Mr. Wildner stated staff is coordinating the
selection of trees, which are Foxtail Palms. Commissioner Black inquired if
there could be some agreement with the County to help maintain the medians
that are being put in? Mr. Wildner did not think this would happen.

are removed from Boat Club Park relocated to Sara Sims Park. Mr. Wildner said
that this is doable.

The budget increase is less than 2%. There are no proposed increases for any
of the user fees. Ninety new permits were sold this year to City residents. Staff
is recommending to the City Commission that all non-renewed permits be offered
to City residents only. This would result in 200 City-resident and 300 county-
resident permit holders. There are no other significant changes in the revenue
sources.
Additional staffing request is being made for a part time CBE student. The
maintenance business area team has requested additional funding for day labor.

Ms. Roberts reported that the revenues collected are from garbage fees, roll-off
service, commercial recycling, commercial dumping and residential and multi-
family service. Ms. Roberts pointed out that the 10% decrease in the budget is
attributable to the purchase of a great deal of equipment for the automated
program last year, which has been eliminated in this year's budget. Four years
ago there were 26 refuse collectors. For the proposed budget year there will be
only six due to attrition and automation. A Crew Worker Senior will be reclassed
to an Equipment Operator Senior and an additional Code Compliance Officer will
be funded.
Ms. Roberts summarized their capital outlay requests. All of the Department
goals will be met through this budget.

vehicles being purchased in the upcoming budget year.
An intern mechanic is being added to staff, who would be recruited from a

very well. Commissioner Fisher requested he be furnished with a written

other goals are to make the risk management program world class and to have
the Risk Management Program become a revenue-producing department within
five years. To accomplish this, Mr. Magazine would like to offer the City's Risk'
Management Program and Insurance Program to other municipalities. Mr.
Magazine envisions having a building for training within the City that would be
open to not only Boynton Beach, but to other municipalities, which would be
grant funded.
Mr. Magazine reported that he anticipates a major increase in the City's property
insurance rates because an assessment was done of all city-owned properties
and the values went from $60 million to approximately $90 million. The increase,
however, should be covered under the current budget.

requested. Mr. Bressner said that he received the figures and will be reviewing
them. Mr. Bressner stated the revised figures are for an additional $78,000.

further discuss Mr. Segal's revised figures and (4) for any other adjustments that
may be necessary. Mr. Bressner suggested scheduling this meeting right after
