of this meeting was to review items that are on the agenda for tomorrow's City Commission
meeting. No decisions are made at this preview meeting.
V. CONSENT AGENDA:
C.1. Proposed Resolution Re: Change order to RMPK Group, Znc.
Consultant Agreement for Rewriting of Land Development Regulations to increase
total project cost by $S6,000 (including SS,S00 for contingencies) to include
additional services and extend the contract by 12 months

forward at a faster pace. Commissioner Weiland said he would have questions at the
Commission meeting regarding the timeframe. City Manager Bressner requested that the
Development Department provide a timeline.
C.5. Proposed Resolution Re: Raising fees for annual permits, daily fees
and light fees at the Tennis Center, effective October 1, 2003
City Manager Bressner suggested that the Commission pull this item from the Consent Agenda
at the Commission meeting since there may be some public comment.
C.6. Proposed Resolution Re: Assessing the costs of abatement of certain
nuisances against the owners of properties involved
City Manager Bressner explained that this is a procedure regarding some nuisances on
properties and would set the stage to file liens on the properties for tax purposes. By adopting
the resolution, it would elevate the liens to follow property taxes and would give them a higher
level of importance in the event the liens are not paid. He noted that the City has exhausted
administrative remedies.

NE 7th Street between NE 10th and NE 7th Avenues
Commissioner McCray asked when this project would be completed. City Manager Bressner
requested that Mark Law provide a timeline on the construction for tomorrow's Commission

project.

(Tab/ed on 7/:[$/03)
City Manager Bressner noted that the CRA completed their review of this item and placed some
conditions on it. The conditions were mainly building design issues and site buffering and
appearance issues.
City Manager Bressner requested that an item be added under Consent regarding the use of
Community Investment Funds for the East Boynton Beach Little League. The total amount
donated would be $10,500 because there was an allocation of $2,000 from the Recreation
Fund.
Commissioner McCray asked where the money from the Recreation Fund came from since he
has some projects going on that were not given full funding. Wally Majors, Recreation & Parks
Director, explained that the money came from the Program Revenue Fund and is money
generated by people registering for programs. Commissioner McCray asked what the balance
was in that fund. Hr. Majors gave a rough estimate of $250,000. Commissioner McCray
requested that he be given the exact figure.
The consensus of the Commission was to add the Community Investment Funds for the East

our ordinance under the umbrella of existing Federal law. Unfortunately, Federal law does not
allow for time periods for either putting the signs up or taking them down. When questioned,
he said that municipalities cannot put these standards in. City Attorney Cherof stated that the
City Clerk's Office and Code Compliance have a good track record of contacting the candidates
as soon as the election is over.

regarding Krispy Kreme be reviewed, as he did not believe the landscaping was up to par. He
