Proposed Emergency Ordinance No. 20-008 -An emergency ordinance of the city of Boynton Beach, Florida, authorizing the city manager to make provisions for electronic attendance by elected and appointed officials at city meetings during periods of a declared public health emergency; providing for Page 372 of 863 Meeting Minutes City Commission Boynton Beach, Florida March 18, 2020 public participation by telephonic or electronic means; providing for automatic delay of finality of official action pending public comments; and, providing an effective date. Attorney Cherof read proposed Emergency Ordinance No. 20-008 into the record. Attorney Cherof provided some background information on the ordinance and stated the City of Boynton Beach and other municipalities have been waiting almost two weeks for the state to provide guidance regarding public meetings. There is a governor's executive order, which makes specific reference to local governments granting broad powers to local governments. In addition, the general counsel for the Florida League of Cities wrote to the governor outlining the interest of all 412 municipal governments in the State of Florida requesting a specific executive emergency order addressing public meetings. The reason this ordinance is before the Commission is that it did not seem prudent to wait for the state government to deal with a local issue, which needs addressing. The state government has taken the position that issues relating to public safety and emergencies are unique to certain areas of the state. This emergency ordinance, which is temporary, makes the provisions for action taken by the City Commission to occur with less than a quorum being present. If there is a quorum by telephone, it would be acceptable. It provided for recording of the commission meetings and posting of those meetings on the city webpage and a 48-hour period, which the public could make their comments electronically, in writing or via telephone message. If a member of the public wants to address any item on commission action, after the expiration of the 48 hours that action does not become final until the comments of the public are taken into consideration at the next meeting. If there is an agenda item without comments, that agenda item become final after the 48 hours. Attorney Cherof believes this was a proper balance legally, between the need either for the public to participate in public meetings, electronically or by telephone. Attorney Cherof noted since this was an emergency this ordinance does not require a second reading. Commissioner McCray inquired as to who would be the person to contact regarding this ordinance. Attorney Cherof replied there was a dedicated telephone line in the City Manager's office. The telephone communications will be recorded and made part of the official record of the minutes of the next commission meeting. There is also an email address available, which would also be made available. Commissioner Penserga requested the telephone number and the email address. Lori LaVerriere, City Manager, noted once the ordinance is adopted, staff will upload the information on social media after the ordinance has been adopted. Ms. LaVerriere provided the telephone number of 561-742-60067 the email address, cit ranaer bbfi.us. Commissioner McCray inquired if there would be a waiting period prior to items being adopted. 2 Page 373 of 863 Meeting Minutes City Commission Boynton Beach, Florida March 18, 2020 Attorney Cherof replied only on items, which the public has made a comment. There is no final action until the next meeting. Commissioner McCray stated this is the right direction. Commissioner Penserga asked if this would allow for video conferencing. Attorney Cherof responded yes, or by telephone would be available. Mayor Grant asked about the public hearing items and indicated this would be going on after the fact. Mayor Grant requested to allow public comment cards available prior to a ruling being made. Attorney Cherof responded when staff publishes the agenda, a notice is placed on the item. If the public would like to make a comment, he expressed there could be a dedicated telephone line into the commission meeting. They could also be given the opportunity to make comments within 48 hours after the meeting has been posted. Mayor Grant indicated his concern would be to hear public comments before the ruling on an issue, not after, especially if it is a quasi-judicial item. He indicated this was not necessarily a law that goes beyond the Florida Sunshine Law, because it is not codified into the Florida Statutes. One of the big things about the Florida Sunshine Law was the ability to cure it. If someone does not want an item to be approved unless there is public hearing, then the city needs to wait until there is capability to have public input. He expressed there are third party vendors which have the ability for the public to call into the meeting. He indicated this does not apply to the consent agenda. Staff needs to work on this for the public hearing aspect. Attorney Cherof stated there could be a special notice in the special hearing section of the published agenda. Mayor Grant noted the public needs to have the ability to make comments before the meeting as a public record. He stated he received emails on items, which are going to be tabled, which would be not part of the public record. He does not feel only having just the presenter does not give a fair representation to the residents. Requested staff to have the public comment cards available to the public, including the telephone number and emails would be a part of the meeting. The public still has 48 hours to make public comments if they can move forward, if not, the item would be tabled. Lori LaVerriere, City Manager, noted the Information Technology Department is working on providing the ability to have the public call in live during the Commission meeting. John McNally, Director of Information Technology Services, indicated staff is looking at a couple of different options. One of the options is called Zoom, which would allow both web and video conferencing. He is under the understanding both Zoom and other options are overwhelmed. The City would have some type of capability for interaction with the public. 3 Page 374 of 863 Meeting Minutes City Commission Boynton Beach, Florida March 18, 2020 Ms. LaVerriere stated there would be extra effort taken on social media and the website to remind the public to review the agenda and provide comments. Mayor Grant stated the issue is not everyone has electronic access. Inquired if staff was planning on printing out the agenda, if requested, or placed on a flash drive and given to the public. Asked about audio recording of the meetings and them possibly being placed on the website as a zip file. Ms. LaVerriere stated there are recordings of each commission meeting. Commissioner Penserga inquired if the city uses a platform such as Zoom does it have the options like Facebook Live, to provide comments as the meeting airs. Mr. McNally responded that it depends on the platform and the options selected. Mr. McNally stated one of the options would be to have something like a webinar with the ability to have the public to raise their hand, then forward their comments to the Commission. This would be interactive participation. Commissioner McCray asked how long it takes for the video version to upload onto the YouTube channel. Mr. McNally responded the video is usually processed and uploaded the next morning before noon. Commissioner McCray expressed concern with changes to the agenda once published, such as walk-on items, and inquired about the reason to why the TV station was cancelled. Ms. LaVerriere responded it was due to not having staff support and low viewership. Mr. McNally stated the TV station was only broadcasted on Comcast. There was no way to monitor the viewership of that station. This only reached a faction of the potential viewership. Commissioner McCray indicated YouTube should be available at the library for those without computers. Ms. LaVerriere responded YouTube can be accessed on public computers at the library. Commissioner Penserga stated Comcast has made their Wi-Fi network open and available to the public for free for the next two months. Commissioner Romelus stated she was open in favor of public comment cards to make sure anyone can participate. Mayor Grant said this was not a part of this ordinance. Commissioner McCray stated comment cards should be made a part of this ordinance. Attorney Cherof indicated he added a provision on page 4, paragraph F, which allows for flexibility and the City Manager to make changes on how business is conducted. Attorney 4 Page 375 of 863 Meeting Minutes City Commission Boynton Beach, Florida March 18, 2020 Cherof stated there may be an Executive Order which dictates how the City must address this concern. Mayor Grant indicated it needs to be a part of having the public comments or statement read into the record. Motion Commissioner McCray moved to approve. Commissioner Romelus seconded the motion. The motion unanimously passed. City Clerk Gibson called the roll. Vote 4-0 (Vice Mayor Katz absent) 2. Other A. Informational items by Members of the City Commission Commissioner McCray and Commissioner Romelus congratulated Commissioner Penserga on the election. Commissioner Penserga stated if we do proceed to have any type of curfew to have more time for informing the public. Mayor Grant extended congratulations to Commissioner Penserga and Mr. Hay and to all the newly elected officials of Palm Beach County. On March 6th, he attended breakfast week at Galaxy Elementary School and attended a Senior Health Fair and Resiliency Round Table. Mayor Grant stated he has been asked why he has not done things in the City. He Indicated he backs the City Manager in all the decisions that she makes regarding keeping the City safe and have some type of normalcy. He stated only 2,500 people have been tested out of 20M people in the state of Florida. He encouraged residents if they do not need to be out, please remain at home.

Award of the City of Boynton Beach Entrepreneurship and Business Incubation Grants in the amount of $30,000 to the three (3) first ranked grant applicants in the three (3) categories that received responses and provide consensus with staff recommendation to redirect the remaining funding, in the amount of$20,000, to support the future City Hall Innovation Space programs and infrastructure. David Scott, Director of Economic Development and Strategy, requested Commission approval of the award of three of the entrepreneurship grants, in the amount of 30,000 for the two respondents. The Commission has budgeted $50,000 per year for entrepreneurship grants. In response to the Commission's directions, the grants were opened to more groups. The grants were reduced to $10,000. The City is seeking to support business incubators in the form of grant financing for a total of$10,000 per grant. The City publicized the grant opportunity through its website, social media, and direct email to stakeholder partners such as the Business Development Board, Boca/Boynton Beach Chamber of Commerce, Palm Beach State College, South Tech, and others. The City budgeted $50,000 for the Entrepreneurship and Business Incubation Grant Program. Zo Page 381 of 863 Meeting Minutes City Commission Boynton Beach, Florida March 18, 2020 Within the grant program, $40,000 for Business Incubators that focus on women, youth, technology, and minority-owned businesses, and $10,000 for four individual grants of $2,500 to Working Groups on Entrepreneurship in each focus area. The City has established four focus areas in entrepreneurship: Sustainability, Hospitality/Tourism, Health, and the Gig-Economy for Entrepreneurship. The grant application period opened on January 22, 2020 and closed on February 17, 2020. He indicated only two organizations responded to the three (3) grant categories. An internal team of City and CRA staff was formed to evaluate each grant submitted based on the published evaluation criteria for each grant category. Once all grant applications were received, they were distributed to the grant evaluation team for independent review and scoring. The total scores were tallied and ranked as follows: Business Incubation Grant Program —Women Owned Business: 1st - Be. Lead.Grow., LLC $10,000 2nd - GBDC Entrepreneurship Institute Business Incubation Grant Program — Minority Owned Business: 1st - Be. Lead.Grow., LLC $10,000 2nd - GBDC Entrepreneurship Institute Youth Entrepreneurship Business Incubation Grant: 1 st - GBDC Entrepreneurship Institute Mr. Scott requested to redirect the remaining $20,000 funds to go towards an innovation incubation space at the new Town Square, to support the next operator for that space. Commissioner Romelus inquired how many applicants applied for the grants. Mr. Scott replied two. Commissioner Romelus inquired if the buildout of the incubation space was included in City Hall budget. Ms. LaVerriere stated the internal buildout was not included. Commissioner Romelus asked if the plan was always to use this funding for the incubator space. If the Commission allocated $50,000 to be used toward the entrepreneurship grants, she would not be in agreement to use the excess fund for the incubator space. This should be allocated towards the applicants. The grants need to be reevaluated. She believes there is more opportunity out there. Mr. Scott stated this would provide for an operator to come in and use the space. The space would provide funding for an incubator. Requested to redirect funds for the buildout for an operator which would incubate businesses on behalf of the city. 11 Page 382 of 863 Meeting Minutes City Commission Boynton Beach, Florida March 18, 2020 Commissioner Romelus clarified the funds would not be used to buildout the space but used for an operator for an incubator. Mr. Scott stated the space would be for an operator to incubate businesses for the city. Commissioner Penserga asked if Mr. Scott was seeking consensus as to what is to be done with the additional funding. If the allocation is approved, if there is an operator, this would need to come back before the Commission for approval. Mr. Scott stated yes. Mayor Grant suggested providing more funding to the businesses, which applied for the grants. Mr. Scott replied if this was the Commission's direction. Ms. LaVerriere shared feedback from recipients: if offering smaller grants, it was not worth applying for the grant. Originally, the grants were larger. Ms. LaVerriere noted if the funds are not awarded, the funds would go back into the general fund; it does not carry over. Mayor Grant asked if these were not CBDG funds. Ms. LaVerriere said that was correct. Mayor Grant indicated the remaining funds are going back to the general fund. Commissioner Penserga stated he was in favor of the buildout of the incubator space; he was also in favor of reassessing the nature of the grant program. He stated that it is a tremendous amount of work to get $2000. He would like to make a larger impact. Mr. Scott indicated there were some after-action forensics, and stated the grants were too small. The recipients were looking for a larger grant award. Commissioner Romelus suggested considering using the remainder of the funds to source a program to help get the program off the ground and asked would the board consider splitting the grant to increase the amount of funds. Mr. Scott stated there were three grants. Mayor Grant stated the grants were advertised in a specific manner, even though the Commission has the authority to change, it should not be changed at this point. Commissioner McCray stated he was not in favor of change at this point. Motion Commissioner McCray moved to approve. Commissioner Penserga seconded the motion, which unanimously passed. Ms. LaVerriere requested clarification on the motion. Is the balance of the funding supporting the incubator efforts at City Hall? 12 Page 383 of 863 Meeting Minutes City Commission Boynton Beach, Florida March 18, 2020 Commissioner McCray provided clarification, recommendation to redirect the remaining funding, in the amount of $20,000, to support the future City Hall Innovation Space programs and infrastructure. 10. Unfinished Business Commissioner McCray asked what happened to the job fair information update. Ms. LaVerriere stated this was one of the items, which was pulled from the agenda. She spoke with Sophia Nelson and Michael Corbet. This was pulled because of public comment. When the City is ready, they are ready to present. 11. New Business A. Hourly crossing guard /independent contractors. Mayor Grant asked with the schools being closed, are the school crossing guards still being paid? Ms. LaVerriere stated the City pays about $300,000 to a vendor which employs the school crossing guards. With the school district closing, she does not know of the impact. Mayor Grant stated the City needs to support the school crossing guards. They need to be a part of the economy. He does not believe they should stop paying those funds. Commissioner Penserga asked about the contract. Ms. LaVerriere stated these are not employees of the City. The employees are hired by a third-party contractor. There is no mechanism in place to pay them directly. Mayor Grant stated the city cannot bypass the vendor, if the vendor indicates the employee cannot work. Police Chief Michael Gregory stated what was said was correct; the city has no means to pay a third party without their consent. Commissioner Romelus asked if these costs have already been paid with the expectation of services being rendered. Is there a refund of the monthly amount? Ms. LaVerriere stated the funds are being paid monthly; the City will not pay for services not being rendered. Commissioner McCray said he understands what is being said. For many of these people, this is a supplemental income. Stated the school crossing guards are funded 13 Page 384 of 863 Meeting Minutes City Commission Boynton Beach, Florida March 18, 2020 until the end of the school term. He agrees with Mayor Grant to continue to pay the third- party vendor. Mayor Grant stated the he along with Commissioner McCray would like to pay the vendor even though the crossing guards would not be working. The School District of Palm Beach County is paying its teachers even though they are not teaching. Chief Gregory stated there are no guarantees, if the city continues to pay the vendor if they are obligated to pay the employee. Chief Gregory explained the city cannot control how private vendors pay their employees. Mayor Grant gave direction to the manager to do whatever they could do to help alleviate the stress to the independent contractors providing services to the City of Boynton Beach. Ms. LaVerriere expressed from an Inspector General standpoint, for the City to pay for services not being received is an issue. Help may need to come in a different form. It may need to come outside the existing contract. Mayor Grant instructed staff to do whatever can be done for the crossing guards. Commissioner McCray and Commissioner Penserga stated if there are no legal roadblocks, they agreed to help. Ms. LaVerriere inquired if this would be for the remainder of the school year. Mayor Grant indicated it would be. There was a consensus. Attorney Cherof commented there will be unanticipated city expenses for city employees, which are going to be on leave, when they run out of sick and vacation accrual. Ms. LaVerriere stated they have numerous part time employees to keep working. Attorney Cherof stated there needs to be a balance. Mayor Grant requested an employee update. Ms. LaVerriere stated there is going to be a plan in place on March 19, 2020. 12. Legal A. Proposed Ordinance No. 20-007-First Reading - Establishing the Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) sunset date and extending the 14 Page 385 of 863 Meeting Minutes City Commission Boynton Beach, Florida March 18, 2020 time certain for the completion of projects described in the Community Redevelopment Plan.
