VI, PUBLIC HEARING None. VII, PUBLIC AUDIENCE Wllda Searcy, 402 N. E. 13th Avenue, raved about how successful Black Awareness Day turned out at Hester Center on February 20, 1993. She requested that HRS be put into one of the old school buildings. She spoke of discrimination in Boynton Beach. She said she has to make a report to the Federal Government by April 15, 1993 about what is going on in Palm Beach County. She stated there is no black representation on the Commission. She wanted the children to be allowed to work in the schools. Dorothy Walker, 707 N. W. 3rd Street, read in the newspaper that Chief Hillery has resigned and that one of the Commissioners suggested his replacement come from within the Department. She read from Murphy and Mayo's report and doubted if changes could be made within the Police Department if a new police chief is promoted from within. She asked the City Manager and Commission to go outside the City and bring someone in with new vision so that Boynton Beach can move forward. Hilton Flnkel, of Boynton Bay, requested an update on transportation for senior citizens. Mayor Weiner stated that funds are available through the Federal Government for capital expenditures and the City is capable of maintaining the buses which would be purchased with these funds. However, the problem lies with -6- MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA MARCH 2, 1993 paying for insurance and people to run them. She suggested the senior citizens keep the pressure on the City Commission and contact the Advisory Board on the Elderly and Outreach for the Blind, whose number one priority is transportation for senior citizens. Mr. Miller advised that he had discussions with one outside contractor who was going to develop a proposal; however, he has not yet received it. Commissioner Harmening plans to install a minimal transportation system, pre- ferrably this year, but no later than early next year. Rev, Douglas Davis, 301N. E. 13th Avenue, was disturbed with the City of Boynton Beach. He felt the Blacks were always left a little behind. In response to Rev. Dav'is, Mr. Miller advised that none of the Blacks in the Fire Department qualify for the position of Fire Chief. Rev. Davis suggested going outside the City to find someone beneficial to everyone in the City. He felt some Blacks should be hired for upper positions. NO ONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK, MAYOR WEINER DECLARED PUBLIC AUDIENCE CLOSED. VIII, DEVELOPMENT PLANS Project Name: Agent: Owner: Location: Description: Motorola PID Dave Durek Motorola, Inc.

X, OLD BUSINESS A, Addition of Casa Loma Boulevard to the 1992193 Street Resurfacing Program ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, TABLED Mr. Miller advised that this item can be removed from the table. Notion Commissioner Harmening moved to remove this item from the table. Vice Mayor Matson seconded the motion which carried 5-0. Mr. Miller advised that the street resurfacing program started Monday. At the rate it is proceeding at this time, resurfacing should be completed within two weeks. Therefore, direction is needed from the City Commission today if Casa Loma Boulevard is going to be included in this program. W. Richard Staudinger, City Engineer, referred to his memorandum to Mr. Miller concerning several options. He reminded the Commission that at his request, this item was postponed until tonight's meeting because staff had expressed many concerns. Mr. Staudinger briefly reviewed the four options listed in his memorandum. Mr. Cutro advised that he met with one of the property owners on Casa Loma Boulevard and a representative of the Seamist Center. Both owners expressed an interest in doing the street as originally proposed in the Lighthouse Square Marina Project, which is to use twenty feet of property on the north side of the right-of-way for headin/backout Parking, provide headin/backout parking on the - 13 - MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA NARCH 2, 1993 south side, and a twenty-four foot drive aisle. It would also create a turna- round at the east end of the road, as well as places for the dumpsters and some landscaping on the road. The problem with this is that while the owners are committed to it, Mr. Cutro has yet to hear from Mr. Garcia regarding whether or not a lease is feasible on the south twenty feet along the road. He referred to his memo to Mr. Miller, indicating that CRA money might be able to be used to resurface Casa Loma Boulevard. In response to Commissioner Aguila, Mr. Staudinger advised that there is room on Casa Loma Boulevard for one row of headin/backout parking. Parallel parking could also be put in on the south side; however, there is not a good way to turn around there. Commissioner Aguila wondered what would happen if the Commission approves Mr. Cutro's proposal and the marina is redesigned and does not fit in with Mr. Cutro's proposal. He felt the City should go forward with Mr. Cutro's pro- posal and let them work with the improvements. Commissioner Harmening directed Mr. Cutro to pave all the turnarounds and sand seal the potholes. Mr. Staudinger understood the City Commission's direction to be as follows: To proceed with Mr. Cutro's proposal, to move ahead with the property owners, to lease the other twenty feet, and proceed with some street drainage improvements, (probably funded by the City on a reimbursement basis from the owners), as opposed to doing the overlay. Commissioner Harmening confirmed this. He added that the overlay will have to be cut once or twice. Mr. Cutro advised that there is enough CRA money to do an overlay. Commissioner Harmening directed him to use TIF funds. Notion Commissioner Harmening moved to pave Casa Loma Boulevard in accordance with Chris Cutro's recommendation, twenty-four feet wide. Vice Mayor Matson seconded the motion. Mr. Staudinger asked if the City Commission is requesting that the overlay be done immediately and then the City will work with the property owners on expan- sion, and if part of the overlay is torn, it is to be repaved later on. Commissioner Harmening answered in the affirmative. The motion carried 5-0. XI, NEW BUSINESS A, Items for discussion requested by Commissioner Robert Walshak 1, Request for School Crossing Guard at Galaxy Elementary School This item was deleted by Commissioner Walshak. - 14- MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COI~IISSION MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA HARCH 2, 1993 Items for discussion requested by Vice Mayor Lynne Matson 1, Report on the C~unlty Association Semlnar Vice Mayor Matson reported that this past Saturday was Community Association Day at City Hall. Over thirty homeowner and condominium associations were repre- sented and over one hundred people were in attendance during the course of both sessions. Vice Mayor Matson thanked the Commission for authorizing this event and the newspapers for their articles on this community service. She hoped a sound system would be available for this seminar next year. Mayor Weiner was very grateful for this wonderful service that Vice Mayor Matson has provided to the homeowner associations of the City. 2, Report on the Publlc Service Co~mtsslon Meeting Vice Mayor Matson reported that she addressed the disparity (billing system) within the City of Boynton Beach. Over 1,000 people attended this meeting. Four of the five Public Service Commissioners were present at this meeting and seemed to be very receptive to the City's problems. Vice Mayor Matson hopes to meet with Buck Passmore again so that she does not have to go to Tallahassee and lobby them for the third time. She is going to set up a meeting with Mr. Miller and ask that some money be taken from the $3,000,000 set aside to correct this disparity, rather than sending everybody $1.64. B, Municipal League Report Commissioner Aguila had nothing to report at this time. Fred & Joe's Garage - Change occupational license from a service sta- tion (including sale of gas) to an automotive service center (repair only) Mr. Cutro stated that he met with the property owners, Mr. Miller, and Don Jaeger, Building Official, yesterday. Mr. Cutro explained that the property owner purchased this property as C-4. Later, the City changed the zoning to C-2, which does not allow this use, making it nonconforming. Mr. Cutro felt that not much thought was given when attempting to create an entranceway on Boynton Beach Boulveard to the downton area and rezoning pieces of property in that corridor. Mr. Cutro advised that State laws require the gasoline tanks to be removed. The information provided to staff by the owners clearly shows that gasoline has not been a major part of this operation for at least the last ten years. The owner is only selling a couple of hundred dollars worth of gas every month. The major part of the business is the bays. Mr. Cutro stated that the site, based on its present design and structures, can- not be used for anything other than auto repair. Conversion of the site would be costly if major interior or exterior remodeling is done. The property owner indicated he cannot afford this. In addition, there does not seem to be a major economic demand for this. - 15 - MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA HAP, CH 2, 1993 Mr. Cutro stated that by the City's own criteria, it is poorly located for a service station. Basically, staff sees this conversion not as an intensification of the use, but as a deintensification. By removal of the sales, you are deintensifying the site because a gas sale generally is not linked to anything else on the site. It attracts trips to the site. By removing those trips, you have a situation where the owner is doing minor auto repair on the site, which he has agreed to. He has also agreed to do some perimetric landscaping, drain the site, and shield the dumpster from the street. Motion Commissioner Harmening moved to approve the issuance of an occupational license for this property for minor automobile repair. Commissioner Aguila asked if Commissioner Harmening's motion is conditioned upon the improvements. Commissioner Harmening answered in the affirmative. Commissioner Aguila seconded the motion. Commissioner Walshak inquired if a gas station would be allowed at this location in the future. Mr. Cutro answered in the negative. Vice Mayor Matson thought it was very important that this Commission give a message to the small business owners that they want them to stay here, and not force them out. The motion carried 5-0. Fred Violette, owner of Fred & Joe's Garage, thanked the Commission for their vote of support, Mr. Miller for the dedication and hard work he has put into this, and Mr. Cutro. Mr. Cutro shared Mr. Violette's thanks with Mike Rumpf, Senior Planner, who did most of the work on the site plan. D, Consider appeal of occupational license revocation - Anita I Charter Boat at the Two Georges' Marina, 728 Casa Loma Boulevard Captain Mike Malinowski referred to Building Department Memorandum No. 93-040. Captain Malinowski explained that he ran a charter boat, the Anita I, but that it is no longer at Two Georges' Marina. He explained to Audrey Hollien of the Occupational License Division of the Building Department that he would be getting another boat after the first of the year and he did not want to give up his license. When he brought the paperwork to Ms. Hollien, he told her that he does not plan on going back to the Two Georges' Marina. Captain Malinowski was in possession of a letter from Waters' Edge Marina, authorizing him to conduct business at the Water's Edge Marina. He stated that he does not plan on keeping his boat in the water; however, Water's Edge Marina gave him authorization to pay them on an as needed basis. Captain Malinowski requested that his occupa- tional license be transferred to the Water's Edge Marina. A1Newbold, Deputy Building Official, stated that the permanent address for which the license is issued must be the same as the business address. - 16 - MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION HEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA HARCH 2, ~993 In response to Commissioner Aguila, Mr. Newbold explained that the Occupational License Division automatically renewed Captain Malinowski's license without knowing he was no longer operating his business from that address. Ms. Hollien stated that Captain Malinowski was notified that if he moves, his license becomes null and void. Even if the license was issued, it becomes null and void if ownership or location of business changes. According to the manager at the marina, Captain Malinowski was not there when he renewed the license in September. In response to Commissioner Aguila, Ms. Hollien advised that Captain Malinowski was notified of a pending license for another entity and was given an oppor- tunity to transfer the license. Commissioner Aguila stated that as long as Captain Malinowksi is going to be in the same area, has a letter to use a piece of a marina, and the parking and his operation have not changed, he ought to have the opportunity to stay there. Commissioner Harmening and Vice Mayor Matson agreed. Ms. Hollien said she can- not transfer a license unlesS she has a numbered slip. Commissioner Aguila and Commissioner Harmening instructed Ms. Hollien to get a numbered slip. Motion Commissioner Harmening moved to authorize the Occupational License Division to issue an occupational license for a fishing boat to Michael Malinowski, pro- viding he has an address and a valid slip. Vice Mayor Matson seconded the motion. Commissioner Aguila advised that the slip is not for multiple tenant use. It is Captain Malinowski's slip and is for his use only. Commissioner Walshak asked Ms. Hollien that if this motion is approved, are we in complete compliance with occupational licensing codes. Commissioner Harmening advised that this is totally out of compliance. Commissioner Walshak did not know how anybody could suggest doing anything contrary to City codes. Vice Mayor Matson reiterated her comment about keeping small businesses in town. Commissioner Walshak said we all want to keep small businesses, but we want legitimate small businesses operating in the City, not businesses operating contrary to City codes. Commissioner Harmening said that area has been in operation and contrary to practically every City code for as long as he can remember. Commissioner Walshak was not concerned with the parking. He was concerned with Captain Malinowski having a legitimate numbered slot, which the code specifically calls for. Commissioner Harmening pointed out that his motion was contingent upon Captain Malinowski providing the Occupational License Division, not only with the location, but a specific slip. Commissioner Walshak again asked Ms. Hollien that if this motion is approved, would we be in full compliance with occupa- tional licensing. Ms. Hollien said she has been instructed not to issue any new licenses for anybody at the marina. Commissioner Aguila pointed out that this is not a new license. - 17 - MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA MARCH 2, 1993 Mr. Cherof had no problem with the Commission moving forward with this direc- tion, subject to the caveat that administration cannot take any action in viola- tion of the law. If it turns out to be a problem, it will be brought back to the City Commission at the next Commission meeting. He felt more can be known when he sees the letter the applicant has from the marina and compares it to the parking spaces available at an administrative level. In light of this, Commissioner Walshak had no problem with it. The motion carried 5-0. E, Request for Special Meeting Date reference the election Ms. Kruse advised that according to the Charter, a special meeting date should be set within three days after the election to accept the election results. The Commission agreed on Thursday, March 11, 1993, at 5:00 P. M. Conslder request sul~nltted by Calvin Cearley, St,, President of B,R,A,G,, to hold a spectal event on Saturday, May 15, 1993 in the downtown area Motion Commissioner Harmening moved to approve Calvin Cearley's request, subject to B.R.A.G. paying for any police overtime or any other costs involved. Mr. Miller added that he spoke to Mr. Cearley this afternoon, who informed him that he wishes to have a parade, starting at the Civic Center, moving to 4th Street, proceeding south on 4th Street, and disbanding at the 5th Avenue park area. Mr. Miller foresaw no problem with accommodating Mr. Cearley's needs. Commissioner Aguila seconded the motion which carried 5-0. G, Letter to Palm Beach County Housing and Coneunlty Development setting priorities for the funding of the City's four {4) COBG applications Wilfred Hawkins, Assistant to the City Manager, advised that this is the first year Housing and Community Development is requiring municipalities with CDBG applications to prioritize those applications along with private entity applica- tions within that jurisdiction. They want to take the heat off their back when the County Commission makes decisions about CDBG funding requests. The City understands their position and is, therefore, going along with this request. This letter is going to be included with the recommendation to the County Commission on funding. Mr. Hawkins did not think this would reduce our efforts to pursue our funding request. Motion Commissioner Harmening moved to approve the letter. Vice Mayor Matson seconded the motion which carried 5-0. - 18- HINUTES - REGULAR CITY COHHISSION HEETING BOYNTOH BEACH, FLORIDA HARCH 2, 1993 XlI. CITY HANAGER'$ REPORT A, Ctvlllan Con~lalnt Review Process Mr. Miller referred to his Memorandum No. 93-140. Mike Munro, Director of Data Processing, stated that since the last Commission meeting, he met several times with the Police Department. He referred to Data Processing Memorandum 93-011 and advised that he has narrowed it down to three companies for the software. He said it is better to work with one company with this kind of software; however, there is not one company that will handle all three modules. He received one demo yesterday and is awaiting demos from the other two companies. Mr. Munro informed the Commission that he will be meeting again with the Police Department regarding certain forms that have to be filled out with Internal Affairs. Then he can send off to find out the cost of making the modifications. During the past two weeks, calls have been made to California and Oregon. All the agencies in the area have been contacted to find out what they are doing. Many of them are not doing anything as far as computerizing. Mayor Weiner said it did not matter at all to her whether or not this was com- puterized. Mayo and Murphy said it did not matter whether it was computerized and in a City this size, it could be done by hand. It was Mayor Weiner's understanding that the Police Department felt that more than one purpose could be served by computerizing. She just wanted to see some progress and was very glad the City seems to be moving forward rapidly now. She hoped this will con- tinue. Mr. Munro advised that the Police Department is currently handling civilian complaints manually and that he is merely computerizing the process to tie all three modules together. IV, ANNOUNCEHENTS AND PRESENTATIONS B, Presentations 3, Kerry Ktlar - Representative of the City of Boynton Beach to the Optlmtst International Essa3 Contest Mr. Miller called forth Kerry Kilar and the President of the Optimist Club, Jim DeLand. Mayor Weiner and Mr. Miller recognized Miss Kilar for winning the local Optimist International Essay Contest on February 13, 1993. Ms. Kilar is a junior at Atlantic High School. She was awarded the South Florida District First Place trophy at the second quarter convention banquet held at the Omni Hotel in West Palm Beach. Triumphing over more than twenty semifinalists, Miss Kilar will represent her sponsors, the Optimist Club of Boynton Beach and the South Florida District of Optimist International, as well as the City of Boynton Beach in the final phase of competition. Her essay on "Freedom, Our Responsibility to Preserve", will be forwarded to the final set of judges in St. Louis, Missouri, and will be included among the equally notable winning essays from hundred of additional Optimist International Districts worldwide. Mr. Miller shared some of Ms. Kilar's credentials with the audience and wished her all the luck in the world. - 19- MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA KA, RCH 2, 1993 Miss Kilar thanked all and stated that she was extremely proud to be repre- senting the City of Boynton Beach. She hopes to represent the City of Boynton Beach well, both now and i.n the future. XIII, OTHER None.
