Call to Order
Mr. Bressner began the agenda preview conference at 4:00 p.m.
Administrative
Item IV. Mr. Bressner inquired if the appointment to the Planning and
Development Board was to replace Lee Wische and was informed that it was.
The appointment for the Senior Advisory Board is to replace Ms. Betty Collins.
Vice Mayor Weiland will be making a nomination to the Education Advisory
Board. Commissioner McCray inquired about the Senior Advisory Board and
was informed that there are Alternates that could be moved up.
Public Hearing
Item VI. A. The agenda will be corrected to remove the postponement notation
in order to move forward with the request for the conditional use/site plan
approval for Woolbright Plaza.
There is a related item on the consent agenda for the height exception as Item
VlI.D.I. Mr. Bressner requested that this be combined with Item VI.A. Mr.
Cherof agreed that this could be done, but that two separate motions would be
required. The items will be heard together under Public Hearing.
Vice Mayor Weiland asked that the request for approval of the height exception
be for architectural purposes only. Mr. Bressner stated that approval of the
variance was site specific, but the approval could include a condition that the
purpose of the height exception is for architectural purposes to hide mechanical
equipment. Mr. Rumpf reported that the height exception was to hide a stairwell,
which is required by code, and not an elevator shaft. Attorney Cherof suggested
placing this restriction under additional City Commission conditions.
Commissioner Fisher noted there were concerns regarding the U-turn in front of
Quail Run on Woolbright Road. Commissioner Fisher inquired if a requirement
for no U-turns could be included in the conditions.

Mr. Livergood has spoken to the County about this. Mr. Bressner stated that a
condition of approval should be for staff to research this.
Consent Agenda
Item C.8. - Regarding the removal and refunding of all penalty fees
associated with late payments of the 2002 Occupational License Renewal
will be pulled for discussion.
Item I.
This item deals with approval of the Quantum Plat, which was distributed. The
developer informed staff that they are requesting fast action on the replatting of
Quantum Lakes Drive where the 42 units are being built. Engineering has
agreed to this method and agreed that the item could be approved, but to put off
having the Mayor sign the plat until all the certifications have been met to staff's
satisfaction. Mr. Livergood stated that the plat was delivered by Quantum late
Friday and he would like this condition included in the approval. The Item will be
pulled for discussion.
Future Agenda Items
IX. A. Heart of Boynton - Mr. Hawkins requested that this item be moved to the
May agenda.
IX. B. Discussion of water and wastewater rate options. Mr. Sugerman
requested that the item be moved to the last meeting in April or first meeting in
May.
IX. C. Discussion of proposed Charter Amendment regarding salaries of
City Commission. Commissioner Fisher felt that a Charter Revision would be
needed. Mayor Broening would like to hold a workshop to determine what the
exact process would be to accomplish this. Vice Mayor Weiland suggested that
it be discussed at a future Commission meeting after staff had an opportunity to
research the issue. Mr. Bressner suggested leaving the item on for the April 2,
2002 meeting. Commissioner Fisher requested that the item be changed to
"Charter Amendment".
IX.D. Proposed Amendment to Development Agreement - Marina Project.
The item will remain on the agenda, but Mr. Bressner was not certain if it would
be heard at the April 16, 2002 meeting.
IX.E. Boynton Woman's Club- Mr. Bressner will be discussing this
individually with the Mayor and Commissioners. Commissioner Ferguson said
that the Woman's Club would like to be notified when the item will be on the
agenda. Mr. Hawkins reported that staff is prepared to make recommendations
for the use of the building.

Mayor Broening said that before the City gets involved, there needs to be some
kind of formal agreement. Further, the Commission has not officially agreed to
become involved with the Woman's Club and should discuss this before
becoming involved.
Mr. Bressner will meet with the leadership of the Woman's Club and report back
to the Commission. After that, the suggestions emanating from that meeting
could be interfaced with staff's recommendations. The Commission agreed to
proceed along these lines.

(April 16) - Mr. Bressner thought that the meeting would be taking place as
scheduled.
