A. PROPOSED ORDINANCE NO. 19-029 - FIRST READING - Approve request for abandonment of a portion of the unimproved NE 3rd Street right-of-way, north of NE 9th Avenue, in connection with: Attorney Cherof read the proposed Ordinance No. 19-029 into the record by title only on first reading.

The scope includes LDR clean up, this included the site plan and the master plan process and requirements, and it includes the increase minimum density to the TRD, and some corrections from the previous version of the LDR. The second part of the update MLK overlay per CRA plan. The third part of the Use Matrix revision Part 1, the last was update of the definitions. Ms. Bassiely provided a chart with the overlay boundary of the MLK district, a map shown with the overlay boundary. 1 he red includes the overall boundary. The boundary in gray, which touches MLK for frontage or currently has a commercial zoning designation, the other portions in red are only to be included if they are within the same project boundary as one of the gray parcels. One of these amendments was to revise the overlays to be consistent with the other overlays, which they have seen previously. Which covers nine categories. What makes an overly different from zoning district is that it is a defined area, this was not anything which crosses any type of zoning districts. Conflict, if there are conflicts between the overlay regulations and other zoning districts the overlay district prevails. Modified building/site regulations, this is what changes the underlining zoning district. There are two, which are the Pedestrian Zone, Scale and Height. Showed a pedestrian zone composed three portion, street tree, sidewalk and active areas. The pedestrian zones are used for commercial district, outdoor dining merchandise display.

Mayor Grant asked if there were some parking requirements for MLK. Ms. Bassiely responded currently a blanket 50% reduction is applied. This was done initially only for commercial development, what was done in this revision was to clarify.

Land Development Process, Article II. Planning and Zoning Division Services, Section 2. F. Site Plan, Including Time Extension and Modifications that begin implementing staff recommendations from the internal review of the City's development review process. Applicant: City - initiated. Attorney Cherof read Ordinance No. 19-034 into the record by title only on first reading. Amanda Bassiely, Principal Planner, Indicated the Code amendment was part of a larger project. Staff was competing a Development Process Review in an effort to begin streamlining all of the different areas of the department, including the policies and procedures, transparency, branding, education and training component. This amendment has to do with the policy and procedures. This has to do with site plans and the five categories of the site plans, there are five different exemptions, any types of projects, which does not need to go through this process. The second is new site plans, between major and minor site plans. Major site plans are any plans, which require Commission approval and recommendation of the Planning and Development Board. The Minor site plans are approved through staff as an administrative approval. The exemption covers single-family internal modifications, pools or amenity changes, minor structural additions, any new structures which are not residential which are less than a 1000 square feet, garages, and exterior structures of residential buildings, these types of projects do not go through the site plan process. The last set of new site plans for major and minor. The Major would include residential projects, which include more than 10 units, for commercial or nonresidential would be anything over 15,000 square feet. The other three are qualifiers; if the plan needs any type of conditional use or any type of relief or any other application, which requires the City Commission approval, would automatically bring before the Commission. Ms. Bassiely provided some examples of some conditional use versus the administrative process. 15 Meeting Minutes City Commission Boynton Beach, Florida September 17, 2019 Provided some additional qualifiers for site plan modifications, which would dictate which approval process. Indicated for a major site plan would increase 20% of square footage. If it were a certified green building, it would raise to 25% of the square footage, if the building needs relief or any type of adverse effect to neighboring property and/or it does not resemble the approved plan. All of those would place it in the major process. Everything, which is left, would be in the minor plan modification. Commissioner Penserga inquired of the adverse effects. Ms. Bassiely responded adverse effect would be a qualifier that the Director of Planning and Development would be able to use if a project is influencing or doing anything to the neighbors which the code does not anticipated. Indicated these are just site plans, which have land use, and zoning in place. Commissioner McCray inquired if this would expedite the permitting process. Ms. Bassiely said a portion that is being changed has to do with the planning process; this is before it gets to permitting, and it would shorten the time that it takes to get their permit. This was the first set of amendments. The building department is part of the meeting, which they are going through ways to make the entire process earlier. Commissioner McCray asked if other cities are doing this. Ms. Bassiely replied other cities have some of these thresholds in place. Commissioner McCray asked why the City was so far behind. Ms. Bassiely indicated she was here to make it better. Mayor Grant stated any minor site plan or new construction would not need to come before the commission. Ms. Bassiely replied if they meet those qualifies, and they have the land use, zoning and do not need relief they would go through an administrative approval. Motion Vice Mayor Katz moved to approve.

Motion Commissioner Romelus moved to approve. Vice Mayor Katz seconded the motion that unanimously passed. B. Delegate Responsibilities Vice Mayor Katz requested clarification and provided his interpretation on an appointed commissioner. He stated other elected officials should not engage in City related businesses unless there has been a discussion at a commission meeting. This has created some confusion with the committees. He said with respect to "stay in their lane" and respect the Commissioner as the representative of the association or committee. Commissioner McCray agreed that is why they appointed a specific Commissioner to represent the Commission. Mayor Grant said he was on the League of Cities and the Transportation Planning Agency and would encourage all Commissioners to speak to the board. Regarding the meeting in question, he noted he was speaking as the Mayor. He asked what he does as their delegate. 17 Meeting Minutes City Commission Boynton Beach, Florida September 17, 2019 Vice Mayor Katz responded he attends the meeting and speaks to their respective leaders, whether it was issues which they have or which they want to bring before the commission or if the Commission wants him to convey to them as their delegate. Commissioner McCray noted speaking as the mayor, there are some things, which should not be spoken. The Mayor should get with the City Attorney prior to offering his opinion. Being the Mayor does not give you leeway to say anything to the public. The Mayor is governed by the rules and regulations of the commission. Mayor Grant agreed. C. Unused Community Support Funds Commissioner Romelus requested to donate $250.00 of her Community Support Funds to Connect to Greatness. Commissioner McCray asked for an explanation of what is Connect to Greatness.

Vice Mayor Katz requested to donate $500 of his Community Support Funds to the HATT Foundation and the remainder of the support funds to Boynton Rugby Club, founded by the residents of Boynton Beach. He noted the young people, both boys and girls, do not pay a fee. He thought this was an awesome opportunity for the youth in the community. Motion Commissioner McCray moved to approve. Commissioner seconded the motion that unanimously passed. 12. LEGAL A. PROPOSED ORDINANCE NO. 19-035 - FIRST READING - Approve Ordinance establishing regulations regarding the posting of underage drinking signs. Attorney Cherof read Ordinance No. 19-035 into the record by title only on first reading. 18 Meeting Minutes City Commission Boynton Beach, Florida September 17, 2019 Motion Commissioner Romelus moved to approve. Commissioner McCray seconded the motion with discussion. Vice Mayor Katz indicated his personal preference was to convert this ordinance into some type of resolution. This ordinance was a law and businesses need to follow it. He stated he did not see if there were any specified consequences, or if this was an unenforceable ordinance. Attorney Cherof responded this was an enforceable ordinance. The provisions for penalty are set forth in section three, on page four. This would be the same as any other municipal ordinance violation, the potential for imprisonment in County jail for up to 60 days or a fine of up to $500 or both. What would occur in the event of a violation is the individual would receive a notice to appear issued by the Police or the Code Enforcement Department. Vice Mayor Katz stated his concern was businesses was aware of the drinking age, and they should know they should not transfer, or anyone under 21 to consume alcohol. The Commission will create a law that will fine or imprison any establishment or business which serves alcohol, the City will require hundreds of businesses to put up a sign, with size 30 font and if they do not they will be fined. Community Standards or Code Enforcement people spending time enforcing this ordinance, and the individual would be fined; he believed a resolution reporting this idea. He has a difficult time, stacking an ordinance on existing law, which is very well known, threating, fining, and imprisoning restaurant or brewery owners; he believed standing with the issue is better than creating a redundant law, which could lead to punitive measures. He does not support punishing people for not placing government-mandated signage. Attorney Cherof noted this could be accomplished without having to convert this to a resolution, by making an amendment to delete section three, which is the penal aspect of the ordinance. This would leave the reporting requirement, which was set forth in section four. This would leave the reporting aspect to the law enforcement. This would accomplish the posting and move the ordinance forward. Vice Mayor Katz stated if this would be the expedient way to achieve a law is which is well intention but is redundant. Commissioner Romelus requested clarification. The third subsection indicates the sale of the dispensing alcohol, is it the word penalizing the businesses for not posting the sign, or is it penalizing the person for selling alcohol to underage people. Mayor Grant asked if section 3 was the State of Florida Statute penalty or was that the City Code Compliance penalty. 19 Meeting Minutes City Commission Boynton Beach, Florida September 17, 2019 Attorney Cherof responded the violation is for the City ordinance penalty in a section of the City of Boynton Beach Code of Ordinances, which deals with municipal ordinance violations. Mayor Grant stated this was not in the Ordinance. Commissioner Romelus requested clarification. Attorney Cherof replied once adopted, any ordinance, which violates the terms and condition can be cited under another provision of the City code, as an ordinance violation. This would be a cross-reference of the City Code. Commissioner McCray asked if there was a law already in the State of Florida, which dealt with underage drinking. Attorney Cherof stated yes. Commissioner McCray asked why the City is moving forward with this Ordinance. Attorney Cherof indicated this was a request by the members of the community, which came forth to request upping the level of communication. Commissioner McCray stated Attorney Cherof indicated if there was already a law, why have the City place more signage. This seems to be redundant. The businesses are aware underage patrons cannot be sold alcohol. Commissioner McCray stated this is redundant and he believes the City is making more work for staff. Commissioner Romelus stated as a maker of the motion, she was happy to amend her motion based on what the City Attorney has said. If section three is stating the City would need to enforce, being the Police Department is stretched, she does not believe the City should go look for businesses, which do not post the sign. She feels that it would be helpful for those who are wilting to put those signs up. Commissioner Penserga noted he was in favor of this amendment; he does not want to penalize businesses putting up a sign for business for something, which should be done. He was in favor of the amendment. Motion Commissioner Romelus moved to approve as amended. Commissioner Penserga seconded the motion that unanimously passed. City Clerk Gibson called the role. Vote 4-1 (Commissioner McCray dissenting) Attorney Cherof noted the Ordinance would return to the Commission with the amendment on second hearing. B. City Commission is requested to review the Lien Modification Order issued by the Special Magistrate at the August 21, 2019 hearing for case # 11-2277. 20 Meeting Minutes City Commission Boynton Beach, Florida September 17, 2019 David Schmit, representing the property owner: The client was requesting further reduction of the lien. The property was purchased in 2015 for $215,000 and the property owner became aware of the lien when the home was placed for sale of $167,000. The property owner was taking a loss on the sale. 8/21/19 - Special Magistrate lien reduction hearing — Magistrate recommended to reduce the lien from $262,134.12 to $15,112.65 (includes the unpaid admin fee of ($634.12) - 94% reduction. Commissioner McCray stated usually a title search done prior to a purchase, which would alert the purchaser of liens on the property. Adam Temple, Community Standards Director, said this began back in 2011; the property recently came into compliance. The property owner received their property owner permit in July 2019. The owner found the violation during a title search. He believed they still owe the administrative costs. Commissioner McCray asked what was the amount of the administrative cost. Mr. Temple stated the cost is $632.12. Mayor Grant stated his feeling the City should be made whole. The business tax receipt is $50 per year, plus the certificate of occupancy 50 per year times eight years. Mayor Grant asked how much is the daily amount charged for not having the business receipt. Mr. Temple stated 2600 days. Commissioner McCray asked when the City had a business tax receipt. He indicated they were occupational licenses; by State Statute, they changed the terminology. The City has always had some type of license since the City began. Commissioner McCray stated he heard what the Mayor said; as long as the City recoups the administrative fee, he would be fine with this. The property owner should have had a title search prior to purchasing the property. Mr. Schmidt stated this information came up after the property owner purchased the property. He noted back business tax receipts are paid. Mayor Grant asked if he paid the extra tax receipts. Mr. Schmidt responded yes. Mayor Grant stated that when a customer does not pay their tangible property tax there is a 25% fee, with that a $100 for the eight years, he would like to round it up to $1,000 to reduce the lien. Commissioner McCray stated the administrative cost should be $634.12. 21 Meeting Minutes City Commission Boynton Beach, Florida September 17, 2019 Motion Commissioner McCray made a motion for a reduction to the administrative cost of $634.12. Commissioner Penserga seconded the motion, which passed. (4-1)(Mayor Grant dissenting) C.

Crystal Gibson, City Clerk stated the qualifying dates are from noon on November 26, 2019 to noon on December 10, 2019. Mayor Grant stated the candidates must have the information in by noon December 10, 2019, all the requirements certified by the Supervisor of Election including the $25.00 Filing fee for the City.

WN Meeting Minutes City Commission Boynton Beach, Florida September 17, 2019 Andrew Mack, Director of Public Works noted the Legal Department was reviewing the contract. Attorney Cherof stated the contract for purchase and sale has not been finalized. He believed there was an outstanding issue regarding a time limitation, whereby if the property owner fails to perform in two years, is what the City negotiated the remedy would be reversionary interest to the City. This City guaranteed that this would not be just a transfer, but followed by a definitive action within a set period. All other terms and conditions which have been proposed have been negotiated and satisfied are contained in the current draft for the contract for sale and purchase. Attorney Cherof stated because there was one outstanding issue as of this evening. Perhaps Mr. Weiner will indicate whether his client would consent. Attorney Cherof noted this approval is still subject to review and as the City Attorney, neither the Mayor nor he will sign until the conditions have been reviewed and satisfied. Mayor Grant inquired as to the conditions. Michael Weiner, representing FH Quantum LLC, stated if there were negotiations between Mr. Dugee and FH Quantum, his client provided an email consenting to the reversion. Stated the construction has two years for completion. This would resolve the outstanding issue. Attorney Cherof stated this was a no -cost transfer of property; this was a finger of the lake/pond area at the Northeast corner, to be filled and converted to parking. Mayor Grant inquired of the square footage of the parcel. Mr. Mack replied the property was 1.84 acre. Mayor Grant stated they are selling this so they can build a parking lot.

Report by City Attorney on City of Delray Beach — Lake Ida Park Addition Annexation. Attorney Cherof, City Attorney stated on July 16, 2019, City of Delray Beach (hereinafter "Delray") filed its petition for voluntary annexation with Palm Beach County 23 Meeting Minutes City Commission Boynton Beach, Florida September 17, 2019 seeking to voluntary annex a 4.06 acre site from unincorporated Palm Beach County adjacent to Lake Ida and directly South of the City of Boynton Beach municipal boundary. The City Attorney's Office was requested to provide information on options the City has related to Delray's annexation application. (Commissioner Romelus returned to the dais at 8:49 pm.) The Attorney provided four options for the Commission to consider: 1. Challenging the Voluntary Annexation. Chapter 171 and Palm Beach County Charter have procedures for voluntary annexation. The City can challenge the annexation by filing an appeal following the adoption of the annexation or aggressively advocate against the adoption of the annexation during the public meeting before the Delray Commission Inter -Office Memorandum Wayor and City Commission Re: City of Delray Beach — Lake Ida Park Addition Annexation September 11, 2019, or Palm Beach County Commission. For appeals, the City must, no later than 30 days following the passage of the annexation ordinance, initiate and proceed through the conflict resolution procedures established in Chapter 164, F.S. [which is the "Florida Governmental Conflict Resolution Act."]. If there is a failure to resolve the conflict, no later than 30 days following the conclusion of the procedures established in Chapter 164, F.S., the City may file a petition in the circuit court. In any legal action instituted under Chapter 171, the prevailing party is entitled to reasonable costs and attorney's fees. 2. Political Advocacy. City Administrative Officers or the City Elected Officials may advocate the City's position on the annexation to the Palm Beach County Administrator or County Commissioners. The City may also seek to initiate informal discussions with Delray prior to adoption and implementation of the annexation to discuss and resolve potential issues. The City may also seek to initiate formal negotiations discuss and resolve potential problems by negotiating an agreement pursuant to the Florida Interlocal Cooperation Act of 1969 (Section 163.01, F.S.) between Delray and the City prior to adoption and implementation of the annexation. 3. Initiate a competing annexation. Chapter 171 sets for the procedures for when a municipality wishes to annex contiguous, compact, unincorporated territory. The nature of the process would be involuntary and as such has no corresponding procedures under the Palm Beach County Charter. The process will require consent of Delray. 4. Do nothing. The deed granted to Delray upon the express condition that the properties used as open green space or for passive park purposes, which may include accessory structures and improvements, such as pedestrian pathways, gazebos, shade structures, and temporary docking facilities. In the event the Delray allows the property to be developed and/or use for any other purpose, title of the property shall revert to the County. Delray has stated intention was to maintain both properties as open space/ passive recreation as restricted in the deed. This intention aligns with the City's goal of open space and that the properties remain low impact. 24 Meeting Minutes City Commission Boynton Beach, Florida September 17, 2019 Attorney Cherof stated he and the City Manager was looking for direction in how the Commission wanted to proceed. Mayor Grant stated the Commission heard from the Public the sale should not have gone through. The City of Boynton Beach was not the judicial organization to determine whether the sale was valid with the City of Delray. The City of Delray received four acres of Lake Ida property for $100,000. The reason the City of Delray was moving forward with the annexation was the constant code violations, received by Palm Beach County. If the City of Delray owned the land they do not need to worry about noncompliance, they can follow their own rule. He indicated he does not want the land to go to the City of Delray, but the City would be subject to attorney fees. However, the City could advocate with the City of Delray. Commissioner McCray noted he was in favor of seeing what the City of Delray was going to do with the property. Mayor Grant requested if the Commission agreed, to allow the City Manager to speak with the City of Delray Beach regarding the purpose of the property and see if there was something that the City and the City of Delray could do together. Kalra Lakhmichand, property owner, pointed out the property initially offered to the City of Boynton Beach by Palm Beach County to be used as a park. At that time, the City of Boynton Beach did not have any land excess. Mr. Lakhmichand stated ex Michael Fitzpatrick convinced the City of Delray Beach to purchase the land, once purchased the City of Delray Beach realized there was no land access. The deed changed a few times; the City of Delray was informed they must keep the area cleaned. He stated they tried to clean the area by boat, but the debris was still on the vacant land. When the Hurricane came last year, the City of Delray received funds to clean the area but they have not cleaned the vacant land. Mayor Grant asked what can the City do to assist; if the City files a lawsuit and loses; the City would be liable for attorney fees. Mr. Lakhmichand suggested speaking with the City of Delray to postpone the annexation, since the County is a willing seller and he is a willing buyer everyone would be happy with this conclusion. Commissioner Romelus wanted to clarify; there is a deed restriction on the property, which states the space must be maintained as an open space. Mr. Lakhmichand responded the County sold the rights to FDOT and to the Lake Worth Drainage District. PAA Meeting Minutes City Commission Boynton Beach, Florida September 17, 2019 Commissioner Romelus asked the City Attorney if the land has a deed restriction regarding open /green space and nothing else can be developed on the subject property, regardless of the owner of the property. Attorney Cherof stated the conditions of the conveyance states the property shall be used as open green space or for passive park purposes, which may include accessory structures and improvement such as pedestrian passageway, gazebos or shade structures and a temporary docking facility. Commissioner Romelus indicated as of now, under the current ownership, the vacant land could only be used as a green/open space. If the event was to happen where the City of Delray would give it back to the County or sell it to the City of Boynton Beach, is there any way the deed restriction could be lifted. Attorney Cherof noted the County could release the restrictions with the current owners, whether it be the City of Delray, Mr. Lakhmichand or the City of Boynton Beach, this could be done through negotiations. Commissioner Romelus stated the target audience would be with Palm Beach County or the City of Delray Beach; the City of Boynton Beach has nothing to do with this vacant piece of property. Gary Fishman 3504 Diane Drive, said what the City of Delray Beach has done was stolen the land from the City of Boynton Beach, they changed the wording on the deed regarding five year access. He stated at this this time they have a County Commissioner, which see the violation. The neighbors do not want a park, eventually there would be access. This was supposed to be luxury homes with 90 feet frontage to Lake Ida. Mayor Grant stated if Mr. Fishman wanted to file a lawsuit that was his option. The City of Boynton Beach was not going to file a lawsuit nor was it going to file for an annexation. The only thing the Commission would do was to request the City Manager to speak with the City of Delray Beach to see if the Delray was willing to sell the property to the City of Boynton Beach. He does not know if this Commission would move forward with purchasing the land. Mayor Grant indicated the reason why the Commission changed the zoning in Quantum Park was so that they did not want tax-exempt property. Vice Mayor Katz noted there was a failed vote by Boynton Beach, No Access, illegal code violations, and this property carries some financial burden. He wanted to see how this plays out. This was a dispute between the County and the property owner. Mr. Lakhmichand stated the City of Delray does not have a road on the property and no means to get to the property. Vice Mayor Katz, stated Mr. Lakhmichand made a high bid, which Palm Beach County discarded; he was not willing to get the City of Boynton Beach involved in this litigation. 26 Meeting Minutes City Commission Boynton Beach, Florida September 17, 2019 Mr. Fishman stated there are several hundred people in Boynton Beach, which do not want the park. Susan Oyer, 140 SE 127 way, noted she could argue there are people who want an additional park. She asked why the City was giving away land. Vice Mayor Katz responded this was County land, which the City never owned. Commissioner Romules noted she would entertain a conversation with the City of Delray regarding the land. Commissioner McCray was not in favor of moving forward. Commissioner Penserga agreed to contact the City of Delray Beach. There was a consensus for the City Manager to contact the City of Delray. Vice Mayor Katz requested to have an update regarding Town Square by staff at the first Commission meeting of each month. He would like to hear of issues, whether good or bad. He would like to have a standing agenda item each month. Mayor Grant requested every other month. Commissioner McCray agreed it should be every month. The Commission needed to be kept abreast of what is going in regards to Town Square. There was a consensus for the Commission to receive updates regarding Town Square every month, beginning October 1, 2019. Commissioner Romelus asked about the Social Media process. Ms. LaVerriere noted it should be on the next meeting October 1, 2019. 13. FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS A. Quarterly Census updates by Laura Lansburgh, Marketing Manager: December 17, 2019 March 17, 2020 B.
