Presentation and Acceptance of 1998/99 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report by Paul Bremer, Ernst & Young Paul Bremer presented the Comprehensive Financial Report for the year that ended on September 30, 1999. The report is divided into four sections that include Introduction, Financial, Statistical and Compliance sections. A transmittal letter is included in the Introduction. This transmittal letter is a comprehensive overview of financial activities for the prior year. Mr. Bremer recommended that the Commissioners read that letter. The Financial section includes Ernst & Young's report of the City's financial statements. The auditors' opinion is an unqualified opinion. This indicates that the financial statements are fairly presented. The Compliance section contains two important reports. One report is on compliance with the OMB Circular A133 that addresses internal control. The auditors found no weaknesses with the internal control and the City's compliance is consistent with laws, regulations, contracts and grants. Page 140 of the report begins the auditors' communications to the City. These communications address several items that are required to be reported to the City by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. These communications advise that the audit was conducted under generally accepted auditing standards; that there were no disagreements with management; there are no illegal acts. There was one adjustment related to the South Central Regional Wastewater MEETZNG MTNUTES REGULAR CZTY COMMZSSZON BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA March 7, 2000 Treatment & Disposal Board.

Commissioner Denahan seconded the motion that carried unanimously. · Discussion on Marina Zssue as requested by Mayor Broening Mayor Broening announced that he raised this issue during the Agenda Preview Conference because there are three lawsuits that are impeding the progress of the development of the marina. The three issues include two by Bill Skaggs, owner of Two Georges Restaurant and one by Edward Garcia, owner of the marina. Mayor Broening feels these problems could be resolved through discussions. He requested public input and Commission input. Dee Zibelli, 440 Ocean Parkway, pointed out that she has spoken during the past year regarding parking at the marina noting that the developers were always trying to lessen the parking for the public. She questioned why a written proposal made by Mr. Moore in 1994 had not been addressed. Mr. Moore proposed giving the City the land for $1 per year for 75 years. This would save the citizens $1 million. She questioned why former City Managers and department heads have not informed the Commissioners about this proposal. She urged the Commissioners to review Mr. Moore's proposal because she considers it a gift to the City. 6 MEE'FZNG MINUTES REGULAR CZ'FY COMMISSION BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA March 7, 2000 Warren Timm, 120 NE 26th Avenue, urged the Commissioners to be very careful not to intrude on existing businesses during redevelopment. New development should not adversely affect existing businesses. He also reminded the Commissioners that people would not patronize a development unless parking is available. Harry Marcus, 650 Horizons East, advised that Mayor Broening sent him information with respect to his ideas about the development of Boynton Beach and the marina project was included. Mayor Broening requested Mr. Marcus' opinion on his ideas. Mr. Marcus said he realized that research would be necessary because he recalled a past proposal relative to garage parking with respect to First Financial Plaza. Mr. Marcus reported that Mr. Skaggs has a piece of property on Federal Highway that could be used for parking. Mayor Broening proposes that the City either lease or purchase the property from Skaggs to build a 280 space parking facility. The cost would be between $3 million and $4 million. The City would pay $1 million toward the project. The balance would be through public and/or private finance. Mr. Marcus visited with Mr. Moore and requested permission to review his files for information on a proposal to build a garage. Tn March of 1994, Mr. Moore proposed leasing the property north and south of his condo complex to the City for $1 per year for 50 years. Tf 25 additional years were needed, he was willing to provide that. :In September of 1994, a lease was entered into between First Financial and Mr. Garcia's company that would allow 1,000 spaces for the entire downtown development. Mr. Marcus read from the lease and pointed out that "time was of the essence" with respect to the contract. That contract was entered into six years ago and it is still pending. This proposal would not cost the City any money at all. He urged the City to enforce the contract. Lee Wische, 1302 SW 18th Street, said he had nothing to add after Mr. Marcus spoke. Commissioner Weiland commended Mayor Broening for raising the issue. However, he felt there was more than one way to move this forward. He pointed out that in January, Mr. Garcia notified the City that he had added additional parking spaces to his garage. Mr. Skaggs purchased property one block south of Ocean Avenue east of Federal Highway to be used for valet parking. Although a former Commission set aside $750,000 for downtown parking, Commissioner Weiland does not see a reason for moving forward at this time. There are issues of drainage and access to Mr. Skaggs property that must be addressed. He is reluctant to spend $1 million at this time to solve the parking issue when the money could be used somewhere else. Commissioner Denahan applauded Mayor Broening's efforts to be a problem solver. However, she believes this strategy is flawed. Her initial response is distaste for the strategy because the City is attempting to broker a deal between Bill Skaggs and Ed Garcia. This is how politicians get a bad name and it is bad politics. The City Commission voted twice on this issue. There was discussion about contributing $750,000. When the proposal was brought back to the Commission, it was turned down. Commissioner Denahan does not want to address issues over and over again. The $750,000 was set aside to address parking problems collectively; not for MEETTNG MINUTES REGULAR CITY COMMISSION BOYNTON BEACH, FLORZDA March 7, 2000 two business owners. The incentives the developer is going to receive are designed to encourage the developer to develop his property. He is receiving $770,000 in incentives. Tt is not the City's responsibility to provide money for parking if a developer cannot provide enough parking to meet Code requirements. The $750,000 that was set aside was for land acquisition and surface parking. Commissioner Denahan pointed out that Two Georges has off-site parking and an offer that Hr. Marcus spoke about. There are opportunities available. The Commission should stop talking about this issue and the market forces would drive a settlement. The City does not need to be a party to any additional lawsuits. Vice Mayor 'rillman felt that any effort to move the marina project forward was greatly appreciated. However, he does not believe in "putting a patch on a tire that needs a whole new inner tube". Market forces must work out this issue. This City is in the midst of enormous growth with lots of plans and activities encumbered. A parking feasibility study was done that provided suggestions and recommendations. Tt was determined that the City would control the parking in the CRA and downtown. The suggestion tonight is for a private partnership. He pointed out that the Commission couldn't move forward two steps and then take three steps backward. Once the parking authority is in operation and moving forward, this suggestion may be acceptable. Vice Mayor Tillman recommended that the Commission review this situation and not spend any City money on it. He agreed with all of Commissioner Denahan's remarks. He further pointed out that he was not in agreement with the City contributing $750,000. Therefore, he certainly would not support a City contribution of $1 million. Vice Mayor Tillman feels this issue will work itself out. Mayor Pro Tem Sherman concurred with remarks made by the Commissioners. Tt would be ludicrous for the City to contribute $1 million. Mayor Broening said he agreed with the remarks made by all of the Commissioners. Mayor Broening clarified his remark that based upon the parking plan we received, we would need a facility to accommodate future downtown and marina parking east of Federal Highway. There are several properties in that location that would be acceptable. Mayor Broening said he did not suggest that the City provide $1 million for anything except a municipal facility. Furthermore, he pointed out that his language recommended that the City "commit" the money - not spend it. The parking study must be reviewed and there are other properties available that could be less expensive. Mayor Broening feels the City could make a firm statement that it intends to provide downtown and marina parking. He was not suggesting giving Bill Skaggs and Ed Garcia $1 million. Mayor Broening felt it was incumbent upon the Commission to bring this issue out on the table again because there are construction permits for the marina that will expire in a very short period of time. The Commission must consider its next move if those permits expire. The City will be parking deficient at some point in the future and we must begin work on it now. This City has always had a vision, but it was unable to turn the vision into "bricks and mortar" with clear concise planning and agreements. MEETZNG MZNUTES REGULAR CTTY COMMZSSZON BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA March 7, 2000 Mayor Broening explained that this was an opportunity for people to make their points about the marina. Commissioner Denahan commended the entire staff for the additional backup that was provided to the Commission following the Agenda Preview Conference. She thanked staff for keeping the Commission abreast of everything that was needed. V. CTTY MANAGER'S REPORT: At the last City Commission meeting on February 15th, 10 residents presented eight various concerns to the Commission. All of those concerns required a response. The Commission received a summary of the residents, their concerns and the City's response. Staff was able to respond either by phone, in writing or at face-to-face meetings within five days of the Commission meeting. During the Consent Agenda portion of this meeting, the Commission approved up to $120,000 of neighborhood projects in the northeast section of the City. Projects are being done on Seacrest Court, NW 17th Avenue and Ocean Parkway. These are landscape beautification projects. The Neighborhood Assistance Program is doing very well and we will continue to move forward with beautification. VZ. PUBLTC AUDZENCE: Brian Miller, President of Village Royale on the Green, 2515 NE 2nd Court- reported that he received a le~er from the President of Building #12, Greenwood Association, who complained about the absence of lighting at the corner of NE 26th Avenue and NE 3rd Court. Tt reported that he met with Mr. Hawkins, who was very helpful and introduced him to Dan DeCarlo who will meet with him on-site to view the problems. He urged the Commission to provide assistance to Village Royale on the Green by: Tncreasing the lighting on NE 3rd Court; Tncreasing the lighting on NE 2® Court; and Tncreasing the lighting on NE ::[st Court. Tina Smith, 15 Belaire Drive, requested that the Commission provide assistance in expediting the ratification of the contracts for the white and blue-collar workers. Bruce Black, 321 SW 1st Avenue, thanked Commissioner Denahan and Vice Mayor 'fillman for their years of service. Although there wasn't always agreement, the Commissioners voted in the best interest of the City. He urged both Commissioners to continue to provide input in the future. Henrietta Solomon, 230 NE 26th Avenue, spoke in opposition of the ruling that does not permit the Commissioners to respond to the public during the Public Audience portion of the meeting. Tn the past, the Mayor or City Manager would direct staff from the dais to meet with citizens who reported a problem. MEETING MINUTES REGULAR CITY COMMTSSZON BOYNTON BEACH, FLORZDA March 7, 2000 VII. PUBLIC HEARING: None VIII. BIDS: None :DC. DEVELOPMENT PLANS: None X. NEW BUSINESS: Aw Consider setting aside $16,500 in fiscal year 2000-2001 and $16,500 in fiscal year 2001-2002 to support the On Campus Intervention Program at Congress Middle School David Fellows reported that three years ago, in an effort to address high suspensions in our local schools, Chief Gage approached the principal of Congress Middle School about creating an Alternative to Suspension Program. He was successful in his attempts to get the School District to pay for a second dropout prevention unit. Chief Gage dedicated one full-time Police Officer to the program. That program remained in place for one year. The dropout unit remains in place to date. Two years ago, the issue of school suspensions was the top priority of the Education Advisory Board. Mr. Fellows and Commissioner Denahan approached the School District about setting up an Alternative to Suspension Program at two of our local schools. The Alternative Education Department agreed and the program was set up one year ago. Tt lasted only two months. The Education Advisory Board worked to develop new partnerships and commitments. Over the past year, contact was made with South County Mental Health. They created a grant proposal that was accepted by the Quantum Foundation in the amount of $313,000 to fund a proven Alternative to Suspension Program at Congress Middle School and Christa McAuliffe Middle School. Those funds are contingent upon securing $100,000 in outside money. Mr. Fellows said his strategy was to ask the City for $50,000 over three years for Congress Middle School. Chief Gage has committed $16,500 of Forfeiture Funds for the first year of operation of the program. Following Commission approval, Mr. Fellows will request that the Sheriff's Department contribute $50,000 for Christa McAuliffe for the three-year period. Mr. Fellows introduced the following people who were in the audience: Dawn Russell, Chairperson of Education Advisory Board Revia Lee, Member of Education Advisory Board Eddie Mitchell, Member of the Education Advisory Board Virginia Farace, City Liaison to the Education Advisory Board 10 MEETZNG MZNUTES REGULAR CZTY COMMZSSZON BOYNTON BEACH, FLOP~DA March 7, 2000 Ken Meltzer, Principal of Congress Middle School Fanai Russ, Assistant Principal Diane Tedwell, Assistant Principal ]eft Lefton, Associate Director - South County Mental Health Mr. Fellows requested that the Commission approve the Police Department's contribution of $16,500 for the operation of the on-campus intervention program at Congress Middle School for the school year 2000/2001 and for the City to commit to set aside $16,750 annually to fund the OCIP Program for school years 2001/2002 and 2002/2003 at Congress Middle School. Mayor Broening pointed out that the City used to have a fund that was eliminated. This Commission must consider reinstating that fund. Mayor Broening supports this program because of the statistics. Mr. Hawkins advised that Chief Gage would provide the funding for this year. As we enter the budget cycle, there will be an opportunity to consider the request for the upcoming budget. He pointed out that this Commission could not commit future Commissions to the issue except to say that this Commission endorses the program and would like to see it funded in future years. :It is possible that Forfeiture Funds could be used as a funding source in future years. Commissioner Denahan thanked David Fellows for his tireless efforts on this project. The Education Advisory Board set up objectives and used strategies to get to goals. This is an excellent example of how the boards are instrumental in making Boynton Beach a better place to live. The benefits of this program include eliminating crime, improving test scores and improving the quality of life in Boynton Beach. Motion Commissioner Denahan moved to approve the Police Departments contribution of $16,500 for the operation of the On-Campus Intervention Program at Congress Middle School for the year 2000/2001 and strongly endorse and encourage the City of Boynton Beach to set aside the additional $16,750 annually to fund the OCIP for the school years following 2001/2002 and 2002/2003. Commissioner Weiland seconded the motion that carried unanimously. Approve a Special Event Permit for B.A.P.S. Church groundbreaking ceremony event on March 12, 2000 subject to tent inspections by City officials 3ay Patel was present to answer any questions. Motion Vice Mayor Tillman moved approval. Commissioner Weiland seconded the motion that carried unanimously. IVlr.

Vice Mayor Tillman seconded the motion that carried 4-0. (Commissioner Denahan was away from the dais.) Overview and discussion of awarding the annual bid for custodial services for city facilities to Golden Mark Maintenance in the amount of $112~620. At Attorney Cherof's request, this item was tabled during Agenda Approval. E. Discuss Storm Water Fees as requested by Commissioner Weiland Dale Sugerman, Assistant City Manager, advised that staff is approximately 98% complete with rate work and the Rate Study & Report will be completed within 10 days. The Commission will be able to review it in final draft form by the middle of this month. ]:t is recommended that the Commission set a special workshop meeting at the beginning of April to review this issue. Mr. Sugerman pointed out that the papers the Commission has already reviewed were staff's working papers on a variety of subjects. The development of the final report has gone through a number of evolutions. The final draft report will be more concise and clear. Commissioner Weiland questioned whether it would be feasible to conduct a workshop at the end of March so that an Ordinance could be read on first reading at the beginning of April and adopted on second reading at the end of April. Mr. Sugerman explained that he would be on vacation during the end of March and will not return to work until the first week of April. Staff is working on a cost of service study. Staff will lay out a plan of action and provide a number that is realistic, Commissioner Denahan pointed out that the number that was used in the past was not effective and did not result in the appropriate amount of funding to resolve the stormwater issue. Vice Mayor Tillman reminded Mr. Sugerman that he requested "outside the box" ideas. Mr. Sugerman explained that staff has not looked to the engineer for outside the box ideas. Staff has been challenging the engineer to get as creative as possible. The Commission will hear creative things that come from staff. Mr. Sugerman confirmed that the Commissioners would receive the final draft by the middle of March. The new Commissioners will have a couple of weeks to review the document. A staff presentation will be made at a workshop meeting at the beginning of April. After that, the 12 HEETING MZNUTES REGULAR CITY COHMZSS~ION BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA March 7, 2000 Commission will need time to think about it and generate questions. By the end of April, we could have first reading of an Ordinance. A public hearing could be held at the beginning of May and the Ordinance would then be read on second reading. The new rates would be included in the June bill. The Commissioners agreed to see the draft report before setting a workshop date. MAYOR BROENING DECLARED A BRIEF RECESS AT 8:10 P.M. AND RECONVENED THE MEET:lNG AT 8:30 P.M. Discuss Upgrading Minimum Landscape Requirements as requested by Commissioner Weiland Commissioner Weiland said he would like to gain consensus of the Commission to ask staff to provide a report on the current minimum landscape requirements for new development and redevelopment of existing buildings and include an opinion on how to raise the minimum requirements. Commissioner Weiland referred to a building that was redeveloped. He said the owner removed a gas station and built a medical plaza, but the landscaping is lacking. The appearance of a building could be greatly enhanced with the proper landscaping and it was not done in this particular instance. Mr. Hawkins requested that the Commissioners provide specific ideas. Commissioner Weiland offered to assist staff in this effort since this is his profession. Mayor Broening agreed with Commissioner Weiland's suggestion and remarks. Commissioner Denahan asked about the status of the recommendations of the ad hoc committee that was disbanded in 1998. Mike Rumpf, Planning & Zoning Director, reported that the committee intentionally halted their activities to let the pilot nonconforming signs and landscaping program take off. There were two projects that were anticipated to utilize it. One project is being reviewed now (Goodyear) and the pilot project for Lloyd's Plaza has been delayed. The City did not have a project manager for that type of project. The staff person who was Auto-CAD literate has resigned and no replacement was selected. There is an Engineering Inspector in the Building Division who will act as an on-site project manager. Therefore, the program is moving forward again. Hr. Sugerman advised that the Facade Grant Program was also revised. It used to be a $5,000 grant program. The City Commission extended it to up to $7,500 in reimbursement. The last $2,500 is specifically eligible for signage and landscaping. Eleven projects have been approved under the Fa~;ade Grant Program and there is approximately $8,000 remaining in that program. Commissioner Denahan realized that we have standards that are not adequate. She suggested moving forward with getting recommendations for upgrading landscaping requirements. 13 MEETZNG MZNUTES REGULAR CITY COMMISSION BOYNTON BEACH, FLOR/DA March 7, 2000 Mr. Rumpf explained that when the Community Design Plan existed, it was specific about species type. Staff is excited about upgrading these requirements because there is room for improvement. Mr. Rumpf said he has negotiated higher standards. When Mr, Hawkins advised that staff would bring back specifications to the Commission, Commissioner Denahan recommended that the Planning & Development Board have an opportunity to review the staff comments before the Commission makes a final determination. Vice Mayor Tillman felt common sense was the issue. This is not something that requires a great deal of review. Staff should move forward and the recommendations should include requiring mature trees and plants. Discuss Title Change and Compensation Adjustment for Interim City Manager as requested by Mayor Broening Mayor Broening read his recommendation as follows: "The City Commission should enact a resolution to recommend that Wilfred Hawkins be promoted to the position of Assistant City Manager and be paid an equivalent amount. The Commission should also endorse retroactive pay for Wilfred Hawkins equal to the difference between what he now earns and that conferred by the Assistant City Manager position. He should be accorded all perquisites and considerations presently available to an assistant city manager. The City should also reimburse Mr. Hawkins for any costs expended to attain a Bachelor's degree." Commissioner Denahan said the first thing that entered her mind was "micro-management". That summarizes this suggestion proposed by the Mayor. Commissioner Denahan said she does not question Mr. Hawkins' loyalty, hard work or dedication to the job. However, the City Commission took :~2 months to hire a City Manager and he will begin working with the City in approximately one month. The Commission would be usurping the City Manager's responsibility. The Commission made the right decision with respect to the selection of a City Manager and the meeting minutes and tapes reflected a great deal of discussion regarding the elimination of one candidate. This Commission has made tremendous strides. She urged the Commission to allow Mr. Bressner to do his job. If he believes that is the position he needs to take, it will be his decision. Vice Mayor Tillman addressed two issues. One issue is compensation for the job and the other is a position Mr, Hawkins would ascend to under the new City Manager. Mr. Hawkins was made Interim City Manager under this Commission and this Commission should provide for due compensation. The issue of service and what Mr. Hawkins has done should be entertained by the City Manager in due course. Commissioner Denahan posed the following questions to Arthur Lee, Human Resources Director: 1. Did the City Commission just finish a pay and classification study done by DMG? 14 HEE'rZNG MINUTES REGULAR cz'rY COMMISSION BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA March 7, 2000 Mr. Lee explained that the study is still new and had not as yet been approved or ratified by the City Commission. ]:t was completed approximately one year ago. 2. Have we been using the results of that study to negotiate contracts? Hr. Lee responded that the study has been used for bargaining and for general employees. has not been used for contractual employees. When the study came in and we had the position of Administrator of Support Services, was our Administrator of Support Services within the range? Mr. Lee responded affirmatively. We looked at each of the positions so that we could use it as a guide. However, when it comes to contractual positions, we look at each position individually. 4. Was that Administrator of Support Services position within the range? Mr. Lee said there is a range on it. The salary that we currently have for the Administrator of Support Services is now at the maximum of that particular range. When Commissioner Denahan reminded Mr. Lee that the Commission directed him to come back to the Commission with a recommendation to compensate Wilfred Hawkins for the additional responsibilities, Mr. Lee agreed that there was additional compensation at that time. Commissioner Weiland commended Mr. Hawkins for the outstanding job he has done over the past 12 months. However, he felt it was premature for the Commission to make this decision at this time, and added that this was not a decision the Commission should make. He would prefer to wait until the City Manager is here and can provide the structure of how a City Manager and two Assistant City Managers would work. He would like to see an outline of job responsibilities. At that time, he will wholeheartedly endorse the City Manager's recommendation. Commissioner Weiland supports compensating IVlr. Hawkins for the position he has held for 12 months, but is not certain it would be necessary to reimburse him for his educational expenses over the past year. ]:t is his opinion that anyone who wants to get ahead would take the necessary courses. Commissioner Weiland also pointed out that this morning's newspaper quoted the Human Resources Department as requiring a Bachelor's Degree, but preferring a Master's Degree, for the position of Assistant City Manager. Commissioner Weiland is confident that Mr. Hawkins will be a fine City Manager in the future. However, he feels there should be a requirement in his contract that would require him to continue his education to obtain a Bachelor's Degree. Mayor Pro Tem Sherman said Mr. Hawkins has been the person who has helped him over the past year more than anyone else in the City. He is hopeful that the new City Manager will see fit to advance him to Assistant City Manager. However, he believes the decision should be deferred to the City Manager. While Mayor Pro Tern Sherman feels Mr. Hawkins should remain 15 MEETING MINUTES REGULAR Cl-rY COMMISSION BOYNTON BEACH, FLOR/DA March 7, 2000 in a management position, he questions whether the City could afford two Assistant City Managers and a City Manager. Commissioner Denahan pointed out that the Commission budgets a great deal of money toward education. She was under the impression that the Commission supports reimbursement of educational expenses. Mr. Lee explained that Fire and Police have a separate program that is funded by the State in conjunction with the funds provided by the City. The City has a very minimal tuition reimbursement program. Commissioner Denahan said she strongly supports reimbursement of all expenses related to furthering the education for Wilfred Hawkins. Mayor Broening said he had no intention of forcing the City Manager to do anything. The City's Charter specifically says the City Commission hires only two people - the City Manager and the City Attorney. The City Commission endorses other senior positions. Mayor Broening said it was his intention to bring this issue before the Commission and the public to preserve and enhance a resource. He respects the authority and prerogatives of the City Manager. However, Mr. Hawkins deserves the sense of his value to the Commission. Through education and salary, that resource could be preserved. Mayor Broening feels this would be the right thing to do. Commissioner Weiland agreed that Mr. Hawkins is a valuable commodity to the City and he does not want to lose him. However, he felt it was premature at this time to dictate whom the City Manager should work with. He would like to see an outline of how the three positions would be used. Tt is very possible that we would need two Assistant City Managers. Commissioner Weiland said that when the Mayor raised this issue, he asked Attorney Cherof to provide an outline of surrounding cities. Some larger cities do not have two Assistant City Managers and others with populations less than Boynton do have two Assistants. Tf it is the Commission's position to reimburse Mr. Hawkins for his education, Commissioner Weiland agreed to comprise and support that recommendation. Mayor Broening said the current population of the City of Boynton Beach is estimated at 64,915 as indicated in the Comprehensive Financial Report. This City is growing at a pace that is startling. Our Codes and zoning have not kept pace and the Charter probably needs revision very soon. There is a tremendous amount of work ahead that is beyond the scope of what is normally expected of someone in Mr. Hawkins' position. Mayor Broening said his recommendation was to capitalize on Mr. Hawkins' willingness to work and participate with more responsibility. Commissioner Weiland said he was bewildered about why this issue was brought before the Commission at !this time. He feels that if it is meant to happen, Mr. Bressner will bring his recommendatio~ forward. Commissioner Weiland felt the time frame was very premature and felt it was a strategy to put pressure on the Commission. This is not a decision the Commission should be makiOg. The Commission is entrusting Mr. Bressner to do the job and must let him do it. ~ 16 MEET/NG M/NUTES REGULAR CITY COMMISSION BOYNTON BEACH, FLORZDA March 7, 2000 X~. LEGAL: A. Ordinances- 2nd Reading - PUBLZC HEARTNG 11 Proposed Ordinance No. O00-02 Re: Providing for determination whether changes to the comprehensive development of regional impact constitutes a substantial deviation under 380.06 F.S. and whether further development of regional impact review is necessary, amending the development order for Quantum Park Attorney Cherof read Proposed Ordinance No. 000-02 by title only. David Norris, Attorney for Quantum Limited Partners, reported that Condition #5 in Exhibit D has been indicated as "rejected". That condition should have been included. The conditions that should be included are #1, #5, #7, #8 and #11. Tn addition, he requested that typos in the Ordinance be corrected as follows: Page 2 - Second Line - The word "loot" should be changed to "lot". Page 3 Under Lot 50B - Should read, "The Land Use Designation has been changed from Office/:[ndustrial to Industrial." Based upon discussion with the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council, the reference and request with regard to Lot 91 should be withdrawn. Remove all references to an amendment to Lot 91. Treasure Coast feels the present zoning is more consistent with what is planned. Lusia Galav, Senior Planner in the Planning & Zoning Division, advised that staff concurs with Mr. Norris' comments with respect to the four additions he made. Condition #5 required revision to the master plan to be consistent with the application. The applicant has done that and submitted the document this evening. Staff received a letter from the School Board regarding some general comments for the development. Because of its residential nature, they would like to see a bus stop incorporated in the site plan process. :In addition, they require the selling agents to notice the public regarding school districts. These were additional comments that have been recommended by staff. Staff's final recommendation, based on thorough analysis of all information present, was that the Quantum Park DR:[ does not constitute a substantial deviation pursuant to Florida Statutes Chapter 380.06. Mr. Norris advised that the Code amendment revision is included as Condition #11. The Comp Plan text change is Condition #10. The Commission rejected that and the applicant felt that should not be tied to this project. MAYOR BROENING ANNOUNCED THE PUBLIC HEARING. 17 MEETING MINUTES REGULAR CITY COMMISSION BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA March 7, 2000 Maurice Rosenstock, One Villa Lane, said his recollection of Quantum Park seems to have deviated to such an extent that he wonders if the concept that was intended even exists. He feels the last thing we need is more housing. The south end of this project has a tremendous housing development. This is the last Industrial land of any quantity in the City. The concept was to put industrial use on the land. Housing uses more services than any other type of development. Industrial uses the least amount. Mr. Rosenstock feels the Commission is making a major mistake. Anne Centi, :t3C Southport Lane, hopes this Commission will ask more questions and get quality answers. She feels good projects are always thought up and not always thought through. Ed Tedtmann, 869 NW 8th Avenue. said Olin is an apartment developer that has been in this business for a long time. They have done mixed-use projects before. He is confident that they see a market for an apartment building and they can get the job done. Mr. Norris reminded the Commission that most comments were addressed at the last meeting. The applicant is not attempting to do this in order to sell out quicker and get out of Quantum Park. If that were the intention, they would not do this project because they could sell out faster to people who have already expressed interest. The applicant feels this is something that would be good for the entire City. Commissioner Weiland said that at last week's meeting, Hr. McDonald expressed where Quantum Park has been and where it would like to go. Commissioner Weiland feels it is time to move forward. Motion Vice Mayor Tillman moved to approve Proposed Ordinance No. O00-02 including all staff comments and concerns and including those from the developer. Commissioner Denahan seconded the motion.

He especially thanked Vice Mayor Tillman and Commissioner Denahan for their service and said he would be seeking their input in the future. Mr. Bressner looks forward to working with the Commission, staff and community. He applauded the efforts of staff. He wished the candidates well and urged the boards to allow him to help them be successful on behalf of the community. Mr. Bressner thanked the citizens who were present to express their opinion and told the business owners that they are a core element of what makes a successful hometown. Mr. Bressner feels this community has a tremendous amount of opportunity and it is moving forward. One of his key roles is to be an agent of democracy. He will seek out and embrace ideas and assets for the good of the community. The ideas and assets come from all sectors of the community and represent a tapestry of what Boynton Beach is. Mri Bressner said he is delighted to be here. Mayor Broening recognized this meeting as the last that Vice Mayor Tillman and Commissioner Denahan would attend. Both Commissioners have shown extraordinary dedication to their jobs. He will particularly miss Vice Mayor Tillman who offered sage advice and had a pithy way of getting right to the core of things. Commissioner Weiland thanked Vice Mayor Tillman and Commissioner Denahan for their years of dedicated service to the City. He would welcome a knock on his door or a telephone call to offer advice that would help him provide better direction for the City of Boynton Beach and the Commission.

The meeting properly adjourned at 9:45 p.m. ATTEST CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH Vice Mayor Mayor Pro Tern ~ . Commissioner Clerk '-'(Four Tapes) Commissioner 22 WILFRED HAWKINS Situation: Wilfred Hawkins has served as interim city manager of Boynton Beach for more than a year. During this period, he has continued to serve as the City's Director of Administrative Services, as well. When the new city manager takes over in about a month, Mr. Hawkins will return to his former subordinate position. Discussion: Wilfred Hawkins has demonstrated unusual competency and leadership in carrying out his temporary responsibilities. He has shown extraordinary loyalty and professional maturity during an uncertain and trying period. It is important that Wilfred Hawkins not only be retained as a valuable city resource, but that he be given additional responsibility commensurate with his demonstrated abilities and leadership qualities. Recommendation: The City Commission should enact a resolution to recommend that Wilfred Hawkins be promoted to the position of Assistant City Manager and be paid an equivalent amount. The Commission should also endorse retrOactive pay for Wilfred Hawkins equal to the difference between what he now earns and that conferred by the Assistant City Manager position. He should be accorded all perquisites and considerations presently aVailable to an assistant city manager. The City should also reimburse Mr. Hawkins for any costs expended to attain a Bachelor's degree. Marina Project Strategy Situation: Three lawsuits, two by Bill Skaggs, oWner of Two Georges Restaurant, and one by Edward Gar¢ia, Marketplace Marina owner, have caused uncertainty and confusion about the status of the marina project. While work on the seawall is essentially Complete, there is little visible evidence of construction on the commercial first phase of the project. Current completion timetables are unlikely to be met unless there is resolution of the lawsuits. Incentives to the developer are contingent upon substantial completion at agreed-'upon deadlines. Discussion: The current agreement with the Marina developer relieves him of a y~z~t responsibility for providing parking for nearby businesses. .~..... .... . .................... b,llt~ 91/hc~,lg.~ the Two Gec)rges Restaurant and nearby marine-related businesses are and have been non- conforming regarding parking. These businesses have used Garcia's property and Casa Loma Blvd. for their parking in the past. The City several times has expressed its interest in supporting those pre-existing businesses, primarily through the eventual provision of nearby municipal parkin~k The specific long-term remedy tbr the marina/downtown parking issue is contingent on the results of a comprehensive parking plan recently submitted to the City by its traffic consultant. This parking plan provides the basis for resolving both marina and downtown parking issues now and for the future. ~f'he two lawsuits filed by Two Georges address the owner's concerns on three issues: parking, access to his 30-feet-wide property betwee~a Casa Loma Blvd.(a city right-of-way) and the canal to the south when the street is raised 24 inches, and disruption to business during marina construction. A writ of mandamus filed by the developer against the City in reaction to the Two Georges lawsuits insists that Two Georges be held to current zoning and code regulations. All legal issues likely will need to be mediated before going to trial. This process could take many months, even years, to resolve. Resolution of Issues: 1. As previously stated, t~answcr to long-term parking requirements in the Marina/Downtown area are contained in the City's parking study. The study recommends a parking facility east of Federal Highway. Property owned by Two Georges owner Bill Skaggs is within two blocks of thc Marina and the Downtown Business District. This property could be the location of the needed parking facility. Other locations nearby could be available for this purpose, as well. ,4ction: The City should announce immediately that it is committing $1 million toward the design and construction of a parking facility to accommodate Marina/Downtown parking. Bill Skaggs should be encouraged to drop his lawsuits and participate as a partner with the City in this effort. Short-term solutions to his immediate parking problem should also be expedited. 2. Access to the 30 feet strip of property owned by Two Georges should be $~~,~d by the City. (Current plans for Casa Loma Blvd. include access/egress ramps to be constructed at the expense of the developer at each end of the strip.) Additionally, diagonal parking should be permitted on this strip to accommodate dive boaL charter and fishing operations now there. Action: The City will develop a plan in conjunction with Two George~o permit required access and parking on the 30-feet strip. Such plans should include elimination/relocation of vehicles and equipment currently occupying this area. 3. Disruption during the construction of the Marina is inevitable, but ;{ ;n,~ma:ai.,o minimize ff ;"'-.--' ~F' ....... ~,.,s~u. Casa Loma Blvd. will be completely tom up to build new required utilities, including stormwater collection. However, the developer is required to construct a temporary road to accommodate present tmlIic on Casa Loma Blvd. Action: The developer should be encouraged to provide as much off-road parking as possible without impacting construction or safety. Two Georges should consider valet parking, not only as a sho~x-term solution to present parking problems, but as a long-term service to patrons. Dive boat, fishing and charter businesses should consider a similar service, such as golf cart shuttles, for its patrons in tl~e interim and as a long-term service. The City should facilitate off-site temporary parking. Conclusion: There appear to be no tmresolvable issues concerning the Marina, if all parties are willing to address them in a practical, business- like way. The City is willing to commit significant funds to resolve the long-term parking problem for existing businesses, to provide incentives to the developer to meet construction deadlines and to provide appropriate variances to existing businesses to assure their continued operations. The City in return exl~eCts all parties to act in good faith and to seek creative short-term solutions for problems. cITY OF BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA PROJECT NAME: MAJESTIC GREETING CARD APPLICANT'S AGENT: Lenny Siegal, Tri-Star APPLICANT'S ADDRESS: 2900 N.
