CITY COMMISSION MEETING FEBRUARY 2, 1999
1. Career Development Appropriations
City Manager Willis reported that in accordance with our team training and career development
program that was started in 1998 with the adoption of the Citywide reorganization plan, we have
had a great deal of disturbing and confusing reports come out in the newspapers. It took a lot
of effort to research the misstatements that were printed in the newspapers.
The City Commission adopted the restructuring plan in 1998 with the adoption of the budget. At
that time, a great deal of detail was offered with respect to the streamlining from 17
departments down to 7 departments and the team training that would be required to push down
the levels of authority throughout the organization to the frontline employees. Resolution No.
98 -85, passed in May of 1998, retained the services of Falcon Marketing & Management, Inc. in
the amount of $30,000. Adoption of the Architecture for Excellence was accomplished by
Resolution instead of the normal contractual arrangement. This process allowed the training
item to be charged against individual training budgets throughout the City instead of triggering a
single purchase order through the Finance Department. A total of $200 per employee was
appropriated for career development training expenses in the beginning of fiscal year 1997/98
and this program continues into the current fiscal year 1998/99. Of the $131,700 appropriated
for this purpose in fiscal year 1997/98, we carried forward a balance in excess of $50,000 at
year end. This money has been reserved for career development purposes and was brought
forward to the new fiscal year. The total program allocation was budgeted and approved by the
City Commission during the current appropriations process, through the budget, in the amount
of $155,900. The total fund balance remaining to date to continue the program through the
fiscal year 1998/99 is $127,782. This figure is well within the overall appropriation for career
development expenses as approved by the City Commission during the fiscal year 1997/98
budget.
In summary, this is not an issue of misappropriation, but of miscommunication. In the future,
our purchasing procedures will ensure that this situation does not occur. City Manager Willis
requested that the City Attorney confirm the fact that there are no outstanding legal issues with
regard to the funding of our training program.
Attorney Cherof said he was asked by the City Manager to go back to the last fiscal year and
trace forward the funds referenced in the Resolution authorizing the expenditure of $30,000 for
this trial program and other appropriations with respect to training and career development.
There are no outstanding legal issues or concerns that need to be resolved by the Commission.
The Commission remedied the number issue when it appropriated this year's operating budget
because each of the departments made specific line item requests for training funds. As the
City Manager indicated, the unused funds from the previous year were carried forward and
coupled with what was appropriated this year. There are sufficient funds on hand to fund what
was already appropriated and used for training and to continue to fund that in the future. Staff
is preparing an annual report to the Commission at the end of March or beginning of April.
Attorney Cherof recommended that the Commission wait for staff to complete that report and
analysis and look at the issue of appropriation in next year's budget one more time.
Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz said she listened to the seven candidates for the position of Assistant
Police Chief. Every one of the candidates spoke of the importance of training and becoming a
part of a team. This is an integral part of any organization.
J:\FOLIO \NFO \COMM MIN.NFO
Mayor Taylor also sat in on the assessment and advised that during the process, they were
challenging the candidates to cut funding from training. Because they felt training was so
important, all of the candidates refused to take any funding from that area. In Mayor Taylor's
opinion, training is a #1 priority. During his Air Force career, he attended management schools
on many occasions. When he became a manager, he continued taking advanced management
training. This training pays off because the workforce changes over the years. Every human
being should continue training and education because it is invaluable. It is not uncommon to
have some complaints about portions of the training. However, these seminars make people
take a hard look at themselves to learn weaknesses and strengths. This is part of growing even
though it is uncomfortable and it will pay dividends down the road. There is a cost associated
with this type of training, but the savings, benefits and efficiency comes back 100 fold. The only
problem he has with this situation is that it should have been marked in the budget as
Architecture for Excellence.
Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz added that one of the Assistant Police Chief candidates said that when
a person accepts employment in the City, that person is an ambassador of that City and the
training reflects on that to make the person a better ambassador.
Mayor Pro Tem Tillman feels that human growth and development occurs on a continual basis.
If training is stagnant, the organization will be stagnant. It bodes well for every organization to
have a training program where employees can continue to better themselves. People must be
challenged to be better.
Commissioner Denahan advised that the Commissioners meet with the City Manager weekly
and the City Manager received affirmation that the Commissioners were pleased with the
results of the Architecture for Excellence. She had the full support of the Commission for this
program.
Commissioner Titcomb reminded everyone that this community and the Commission gave the
charge to administration to move it in a world -class direction and make it more responsive. This
program has gone far to accomplish that goal. He challenged those who come after this
Commission to keep moving forward with that momentum.

CITY COMMISSION MEEETING April 6, 1999
D. Discussion of Selection of City Manager
Vice Mayor Tillman remarked that the City is in a very good position in terms of personnel. He
recognized the very good job that the Interim City Manager and staff did during last week's
presentation to the Commission. The presentation was sharp, professional, humorous, well
meaning, direct and to the point. Vice Mayor Tillman feels staff has made strides toward
aggressive and direct team play. This team play has worked because there are certain people in
place. In the past, a national search was conducted for a City Manager. The City was at a
standstill. In some respects, the process was painful, but much was learned. When the
Commission went through a second process, a City Manager was hired who stayed with the City
for approximately two years. Even during the process of changing City Managers, the City
continued to move forward. That was the result of the management staff staying in place. The
former City Manager came in with an aggressive team play attitude. Civil Service was eliminated
and everyone must embrace that. The Commission now has an opportunity to promote Mr.
Hawkins, who has come up through the ranks.
Vice Mayor Tillman said any time he visits City Hall and asks a question of Mr. Hawkins, his
answers are direct. He never has to get on the telephone because his information source is
wide. Mr. Hawkins knows the City and his selection would be ideal because he has worked his
way up through the ranks. His selection would prove to the employees that the Architecture for
Excellence program really works. Wilfred Hawkins can do the job. Vice Mayor Tillman
encouraged the Commissioners to talk to employees and department heads. The City could save
money by selecting one of its own. If it is necessary, Mr. Hawkins could continue his education.
Our former City Manager was permitted to attend classes at Harvard. Mr. Hawkins has done a
good job and is continuously doing a good job. We want to keep that continuity going with the
man who is in place.
Motion
Vice Mayor Tillman moved to have Wilfred Hawkins as our City Manager for Boynton Beach.
Commissioner Denahan did not understand the reason for having to act on this issue this
evening. She is a strong proponent for promotion from within. She is also one of Wilfred
Hawkins' biggest advocates. Commissioner Denahan has a passion for education and Mr.
Hawkins was instrumental in having Poinciana School become a crown jewel in the City. This
decision needs to be shared with her constituency. The Commission needs to entertain a
discussion about the position — not the individual.
Commissioner Denahan added that during the last election, there was a reoccurring theme
about a national search for a City Manager. This was a very popular opinion throughout the
community. As elected officials, it is the Commission's obligation to define the process, agree on
the criteria and the procedure under which the process would be defined, do the legwork and
then make a selection. Commissioner Denahan feels this City has an opportunity to benefit from
the multiple searches that are ongoing in Palm Beach County. Boca Raton and West Palm Beach
J:\FOLIO \NFO \COMM MIN.NFO
are going through a search at the present time. She recommended pooling on their resources
by piggybacking in an effort to save money. Commissioner Denahan's constituents want the
Commission to go through a proper process. She does not believe it is necessary to hire a
management search firm. In addition, the Palm Beach County League of Cities, the Florida
League of Cities and the National League of Cities are at the City's disposal. Even though our
local talent may be the outcome, the Commission owes it to the City and its residents to
schedule a workshop to permit a full discussion without pressure of having to make a decision.
Motion
Commissioner Denahan moved to set a date.
Commissioner Sherman took issue with Commissioner Denahan's statement regarding campaign
promises of a nationwide search for a City Manager. Commissioner Sherman advised that when
he sat for endorsements of the newspapers, he said the most important thing was hiring a new
City Manager. He still feels the same way. He is a proponent of hiring from within.
Commissioner Sherman said that he heard in business school that when a company president
retires, you hire a new stockboy. This is the way he ran his business. Commissioner Sherman
believes the Commissioners owe it to the City and their constituents to not delay this selection.
Requesting applications from sister cities could take time. There are many cities currently
looking for City Managers. We have a qualified person in Wilfred Hawkins. He wanted to
discuss that appointment immediately so that the Commission could move forward with the work
that needs to be done.
Attorney Cherof advised that the City's Code of Ordinances requires that the City Manager be
appointed by Resolution. Any action that would be taken would be a designation. The formal
process would occur at the next City Commission meeting with the presentation of a Resolution.
Commissioner Weiland applauded Mr. Hawkins for stepping in as the current interim City
Manager. He has been very comfortable working with Mr. Hawkins over the past few weeks.
Although he may be very qualified to be the City Manager for Boynton Beach, Commissioner
Weiland feels the Commissioners owe it to the community members to investigate what is
available. It may turn out that Wilfred Hawkins will be the choice at the end of that process.
However, Commissioner Weiland would like a workshop meeting to discuss this issue and
determine where to go from here. He would like a local search that involves Florida or the
Southeast. He does not believe a national search is necessary and feels it would be too costly.
A local search could be conducted and this issue could be resolved within one to three months.
Mayor Broening said he came from an environment where time was of the essence. He does
not think the City can afford any delays. A search takes time, is costly and offers a great deal of
grief. Wilfred Hawkins is a known quantity and is someone that can be trusted implicitly.
Anyone else who is hired would come with a good re0 and references, but is an unknown
quantity. This person's learning curve could be as steep as that of the three new Commission
members. The City needs permanency at this point and someone who knows the details of the
issues. It would take time for a new City Manager to acquire that level of detail. Mr. Hawkins
knows the details, knows the job and has the respect of City administration and the Commission.
J:\FOLIO \NFO \COMM MIN.NFO
During the campaign, Mayor Broening said his general philosophy was to promote from within.
At that time, he did not yet have the respect and confidence he now has in Wilfred Hawkins.
However, after seeing a superb presentation during the first orientation session and the spirit
and dedication of the excellence of that presentation, Mayor Broening was moved. Mayor
Broening has never seen a better presentation. It was well suited to the audience. Mayor
Broening has no reservations about appointing Wilfred Hawkins as City Manager.
From the audience, Mr. Tedtmann requested an opportunity for the public to speak. Mayor
Broening advised that public input would not be accepted during this discussion.
Mr. Suss requested a point of information. Attorney Cherof advised that a member of the public
could not raise a point of information.
Mayor Broening explained that a super - majority vote is required to select a City Manager. In
addition, an appointment must be accompanied by a Resolution. Mayor Broening hoped that
there would be unanimity by the Commission on this issue. Therefore, a vote would result at an
impasse.
Commissioner Sherman requested that the Commission discuss this issue to try to come to a
reasonable conclusion.
Commissioner Denahan felt there was no compelling need to make a decision at this meeting
when the item was not included on the agenda. She reminded the Commissioners that they
owed it to the citizens to conduct a workshop to allow the public to speak on this issue.
Commissioner Sherman expressed his feelings that this is a critical need for the City. He
requested definition on the workshop because he does not want this decision delayed.
Vice Mayor Tillman requested that the City Attorney work with the Human Resources Manager to
develop criteria that could be used to select a City Manager. The Commissioners can review the
criteria at a future meeting. Vice Mayor Tillman said he was appalled that the Commissioners
want to require the establishment of criteria and conduct a national search. The City got to this
point from hard work, dedication and commitment. There are five or six projects in the ground
and others that are going out to bid. Boynton Beach is in the take -off position. It is critical to
maintain personnel who know what is going on and want to get the job done. Bringing in a new
person will require a training period of two years. This will slow down our forward movement.
He questioned what that will do to Visions 20/20. The City knows where it wants to go and the
person to do the job is available. He asked the Commissioners to consider the ramifications of
delaying this decision. Mr. Hawkins is a man who can keep the City on track. There is no need
to review criteria or do a search. He urged the Commissioners to do the right thing.
Commissioner Weiland said he would like to hire someone from within, and Wilfred Hawkins may
be that person. However, as a newly elected Commissioner, he was told he would receive a
candidate's package regarding the process for hiring a new City Manager. He still has not seen
that package, and yet there is an urgency this evening to appoint a City Manager. Three of the
candidates covered the City thoroughly with grassroots politicking. He wants to ensure that the
Commission covers this issue thoroughly to make sure the right person is selected for the
J:\FOLIO \NFO \COMM MIN.NFO
position. Wilfred Hawkins may be that person, but the Commission has not had the opportunity
to look outside. The workshop is critical. Commissioner Weiland does not want to spend a great
deal of money to get this done and wants to see the process completed quickly.
Mayor Broening feels workshops are fine and provide a sense of what the community would like
to see. However, the fact is that the Commissioners are the ones who have been entrusted with
the responsibility of selecting the City Manager. The Commissioners must be comfortable that
the selection is the correct one. Mayor Broening has no reservations about Wilfred Hawkins and
believes he fits the bill. The ideal situation would be that all Commissioners would agree on the
choice. Mayor Broening is not willing to wait three months. He wants a quick process and will
go for the first super - majority that becomes obvious.
Mr. Hawkins said staff is ready to present a process to the Commission and would provide that
information tomorrow. He would be glad to provide recommendations on how to move forward
during a workshop meeting. Staff will also provide a profile of what to look for in a City Manager
for this City. This information had not been provided up to this point because the Commission
had not yet raised the issue.
Vice Mayor Tillman withdrew his motion.
Motion
Commissioner Denahan moved to set a date for a formal workshop. Commissioner Weiland
seconded the motion that carried unanimously.
The date for the workshop meeting was set for Friday, April 9 at 6:30 p.m. in Commission
Chambers. (On Wednesday, the location of the meeting was changed to Conference Room "C".)

CITY COMMISSl"N MEETING DECEMBER 15, �i98
3. Presentation on successes encountered by Meter Reading Business
Area Team- Dale Sugerman, Assistant City Manager
Mr. Dale Sugerman took the podium and stated he is the team leader for the Enterprise
Operations Leadership Team, which is comprised of the functions of the Golf Course,
Public Works and the Utilities Department. The group meets monthly to review
operations and to celebrate successes as a result of participating in the City's
Architecture for Excellence Program. In November the Superior Services Business Area
Team (meter readers) gave a report that was beyond any expectations. Mr. Sugerman
reminded the Commission that approximately four months ago he spoke at the podium
and recommended that the service of meter reading and other utility services should
remain in- house. Mr. Sugerman also stated that the Commission agreed with this
decision to remain with the employees and keep the services in- house, rather than
contracting them out. It was greatly appreciated that the City Commission "went out on
a limb" to keep the employees. Mr. Sugerman stated there have been some amazing
results in keeping with the Commission's decision.
Mr. Sugerman requested that Les Sarkkinen and Waneya Gonzales take the podium to
make their presentations. Mr. Sarkkinen, Supervisor of Meter Reading Services and
Team Leader stated he was present tonight with Ms. Gonzales, his Assistant, to present
their Team's accomplishments. Their team consists of five meter readers and five
service personnel. Many changes have been made the past few months to improve
services. Mr. Sarkkinen stated that the night call procedures have been changed to
serve the customer more efficiently. Hours have been extended from 7:00 a.m. to 5:30
p.m. for more coverage.
The greatest accomplishment to date has been changing the old meters to the new
technology touch reading meters. Mr. Sarkkinen explained how the old meters were
read. Ms. Gonzales demonstrated how the scanning gun worked. Mr. Sarkkinen stated
the reading is automatically coded into the machine. This eliminates human error and
all the readings are accurate. This also increases efficiency and eliminates safety
hazards that existed with the old method.
Ms. Gonzales informed the Commission that there are approximately 29,000 meters and
that number continues to grow rapidly. When the project was initiated, it was projected
that it would take 10 years converting approximately 3,000 meters per year. Last year
5,000 meters were changed which included all of Hunters Run and Palmland and
surpassed expectations by 166 %. Now the project is a six -year project. Reading times
have been improved 400 %. It used to take four readers two days to read these two
sub - divisions. With improvements, it takes two readers one day, which is approximately
2,000 meters. Sixteen hours of working time have been gained which can be used to
change meters. The next area scheduled for meter changing is Martin Luther King
J:\FOLIO \NFO \COMM MIN.NFO
Boulevard to NE 13 Avenue. Phase 5 consists of NW 3 rd , 4 and 5 Avenue and
various sub - divisions along Lawrence Road.
Ms. Gonzales thanked the City and Mr. Sugerman for their confidence and support in
the Team in becoming a world -class utility.
Mayor Taylor said it is important that these accomplishments are presented so that the
public can be made aware of the improvements that are taking place in the City and
congratulated the Department.
Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz stated that the consideration of privatizing certain utility services
was not done at the recommendation of this Commission. Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz stated
the City Manager's Office made this recommendation and the Commission would be
remiss if it did not look at ways that would save the City money. Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz
also commended the employees for their efforts.
Mayor Pro Tem Tillman stated that if public employees are given the proper opportunity
to do the job, they can do the job and these employees have demonstrated this tonight.
Mayor Pro Tem Tillman offered his congratulations.

REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING OF 2/2/99 - PUBLIC AUDIENCE
the vandalism was discovered, the City removed the arrows. Therefore, the situation has been
corrected.
In response to Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz, Larry Roberts, Director of Public Works, reported that the
City is expecting the 100% design plans within the next week for the Gateway Boulevard project.
Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz said the work would begin shortly.
A resident of 306 NE 11 Avenue congratulated City Manager Willis on her new position. She
expressed concern for herself and elderly neighbors regarding the bombardment of extremely
loud music in the neighborhood from the corner of Seacrest Boulevard and Martin Luther King,
Jr. Boulevard and east to Railroad Avenue. On the weekends, the music at Frederick's, located
at the corner of Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard and Railroad Avenue, begins at dusk on
Friday and goes on until 2:00 a.m. on Sunday. In the 200 Block of Martin Luther King, Jr.
Boulevard, there is constant music all week and on the weekends. If these people are having a
block party, there should be agreement from the residents on the time limits for this type of
music. In the apartment complexes to the west of St. Paul AME Church from 220 to 224, 307
and the house at 227 NE 2 Avenue, there are tenants who rent from landlords who do not live
in Boynton Beach.
She has contacted the Police Department on many occasions. Even though the Police respond
when called, and the people lower the music while the Police are present, as soon as they leave
the volume goes back up. The resident requested assistance from the Commission.
Mayor Taylor sympathized with this resident and explained that he experienced a similar
situation in his community. He suggested that Code Compliance be contacted so that they can
measure the sound and follow up with fines.
Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz feels something needs to be done to "lower the boom ". She will discuss
this issue with Police Chief Gage.
Victoria Costello, Boynton Beach.com, 406 South Seacrest Boulevard, said she represents
the City of Boynton Beach to the world through the Internet at no cost to the City. She
distributed information to the Commissioners. She has been a resident since 1959. She is
aware of the dedication of City employees. The Architecture for Excellence has caused a great
deal of dissension and questioned why this situation went so far before it was realized. Ms.
Costello stated that we have a wonderful City and a Police Department that responds
immediately. She is very proud of this City.
Betty Collins, Chairwoman of the Senior Advisory Board, reminded everyone that this City
would soon be losing a lot of supporters of the Senior Center. The City Commissioners and City
Manager have supported this effort. The building construction will begin shortly and Ms. Collins
is hopeful the new Commissioners and City Manager will follow through with these plans. When
the center opens, it will be a place for people to gather. The County cannot handle the number
of seniors who need help. Ms. Collins feels the time is right to develop policies regarding how
the needs of the seniors will be handled. It is important to provide social services. County
representatives and people experienced in handling seniors are needed.

REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING OF 2/2/99 - PUBLIC AUDIENCE
Tony Lombardi, Utilities Department Supervisor, stated that the two divisions he supervises
have done quite well with the Architecture for Excellence. They no longer accept the decisions
of one person; they accept the decisions of many. He would like the program to continue with
some exceptions and some resolve. The "clearing out" opens the team members up to the team
for issues with team players. He does not believe it is necessary to tear down a member.
Instead, he believes in building on members' assets. Mr. Lombardi believes the Architecture for
Excellence is a tool that has helped. The employees had the team concept; however, they had
experienced a breakdown of morale for many reasons. For any program to be successful, there
must be trust. He recommended that a scope of services be provided with no hidden agendas.
The program should be common practice citywide so that the employees support it 100 %. The
impact of a program like this affects livelihoods, careers, goals, morale and camaraderie.
Therefore, it should be taken very seriously. (A copy of Mr. Lombardi's speech is attached to
the original set of these minutes on file in the City Clerk's Office.)
Anne Smith, resident and employee of Boynton Beach, feels a lot of good things will come
out of the Architecture for Excellence, but questioned why it was necessary to give an outsider
$300,000 to show us how to be a team. During Commission meetings, there are never citizen
complaints about the employees. The employees have always been a team by taking an
interest in their jobs and making administration and the Commission look good through their
hard work for the citizens.
In 1994, Ms. Smith wrote a Letter to the Editor of the Boynton Times giving credit to the utility
workers for the more than $100,000 they saved the City by volunteering their services and
working as a team. They revamped an old S.W.A.T. van to become a pipeline inspection van
that detects any blockage in a sewer line. That van is still in service today. The City saved an
additional $20,000 when employees painted the ground storage tanks themselves rather than
hiring outside contractors to do the job.
Ms. Smith said she was disturbed to read that a Haitian employee was verbally abused during
the Architecture for Excellence sessions because of a language barrier. Employees should not
have to go to work to be humiliated. She feels all employees have given 110% of themselves to
the City and have excellent ideas on ways to make it better. She is certain that giving the
employees $300,000 would be a great incentive for teamwork. (A copy of Ms. Smith's speech
and Letter to the Editor are attached to the original set of minutes on file in the City Clerk's
Office.)
Elizabeth Jenkins, 711 NW 1 Street, requested clarification of the street signage with respect
to Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard. She pointed out that the entire length of Martin Luther
King, Jr. Boulevard was to be acknowledged on the signs in that manner. Instead, the new
signage on Federal Highway indicates Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard to the west and NW
10 Street to the east. She also asked for clarification regarding Gateway Boulevard.
Mr. Hawkins advised that when FDOT reconstructed Federal Highway, they installed all of the
larger signs. They also installed the individual signs on the side streets. FDOT policy states
that signage on streets with more than one name will have all names listed. In the case of the
sign referenced by Mrs. Jenkins, vandals painted arrows on the sign after it was installed. When

Bill Cwynar, 2701 SW 8 Street, is a candidate for City Commission District I. He expressed
concern about staff saying an expenditure in excess of $30,000 for the Architecture for
Excellence was an oversight. This was a big mistake — not an oversight. The Commission
needs to take measures to ensure that this never happens again.
