Written responses to questions raised at the previous City Commission meeting will be available
for the public at the Commission meeting. City Manager Bressner distributed a memorandum to
the Commission concerning City employees in the news.
City Manager Bressner provided the Commission with an update on the Heart of Boynton. This
consisted of a recap of documents received relative to a Sun Sentinel article. He said that there
will be some people at the Commission meeting with concerns about something that has not
happened yet. Wilfred Hawkins had put together a very clear response in an E-mail to one of
the residents. However, the Commission is the authorized agent for the property and any
change in the land use is a policy decision and nothing has been proposed by staff. Mayor
Broening will make a statement during Public Audience that there have been no decisions made
and it is far too premature to be concerned. There will be open public hearings on this.
When asked by Commissioner McCray whether the City Clerk had been in touch with the
Ministerial Alliance, Ms. Prainito responded that she would be contacting them.
City Manager Bressner said that he received a letter from the developer in Quantum Park regarding
staff performance. The developer will come to the microphone under Public Audience.

release of a quitclaim deed as surety for the project known as Sausalito Place

Bressner said that they have met the codes. He mentioned that he had asked Nancy Kramer to
notify the Homeowners Association that this item was on the agenda in case there were any
concerns. Public Works Director Jeff Livergood thought that the roads had been resurfaced but
he will verify this.

IX.I. Discussion of water and wastewater rate options (May 7, 2002)
Assistant City Manager Sugerman said that the Utilities Department is proposing that whatever
rate is proposed would go into effect October 1, 2002 so that it is tied to the budget year. He
said that this item keeps getting moved on the agenda because they have not received a
response for a permit from the S.F.W.M.D.
City Manager Bressner's understanding is that the rates would be restructured to provide some
component for conservation.
L. Lake Eden Canal Maintenance Options (May 21, 2002)

them two weeks prior to the City Commission meeting. The Commission will also receive the

Section 8.S.A.9 of the Land Development Regulations be amended to allow for
the sharing of parking resources with the Martin Luther King Boulevard
Overlay District
The CRA recommended shared parking on Martin Luther King Boulevard. City Manager Bressner
said that the Commission should consider the recommendation and determine whether to reject,
accept or modi~ it. One possible modification would be to establish similar parking guidelines
as those in the CBD, at least from Seacrest Boulevard to Federal Highway on the corridor. This
is an area where the City is attempting to encourage redevelopment.
Quintus Greene, Director of Development, said that the Commission may want to decide
whether they want to apply the 50% parking reduction along Martin Luther King Boulevard. He
will make a presentation at the Commission meeting.
