The analysis compares  Actual results for the current period to the annual budget and  Actual results for the same period of the prior year annual budget. H? The annual budget is what provides and OW WILL THIS AFFECT CITY PROGRAMS OR SERVICES controls the resources for City programs and services. FI:The annual budget and results to date for the General Fund and Utility Fund ISCAL MPACT follow. GENERAL FUND 70 of 584 FY 2011-12FY 2010-11FY 2012 vs. 2011 Annual Annual Actual to DateActual to Date BudgetActual BudgetBudget Amount%Amount%%% Revenues & Transfers$ 65,142$ 10,41416%$ 68,551$ 8,413 12%-5%24% Expenditures$ (65,142)$ (17,958)28%$ (68,551)$ (12,538)18%-5%43% Excess (Deficit)$ -$ (7,544)$ -$ (4,125) Revenues & Transfers (Exhibit A) – Budgeted Funding Sources: Property taxes and other revenues only provide funding sources of $42.8 M or 66% of our total $65.1 M General Fund budget estimate for FY 2012. Transfers from other funds (non-revenues) provide $22.3 M or a large 34% of the total funding sources to balance our $65.1 M General Fund budgeted expenditures. These three major estimated funding sources are summarized as follows: 1. 35% - $ 22.5 M – Property taxes less Tax Increment Financing to the CRA 2. 31% - $ 20.3 M – All other revenues 3._34% - $ 22.3 M – Transfers from other funds 100% - $ 65.1 M – Total funding sources The property tax rate for FY 2012 was increased from 6.7626 mills to 7.1941 mills; the property taxes levied of $22.5 M in FY 2012 represent a 6.4% increase in property tax revenue or an increase of $.3 M from FY 2011. To balance the budget in FY 2011, it required transfers from other funds of $22.3 M representing 34% of all funding sources. Actual Funding Sources Realized: For the two months in FY 2012, revenues and transfers realized are $ 10.4 M or 16% of the budget estimate compared to $8.4M or 12% realized to date in FY 2011. Property Taxes: To date, as noted on Exhibit A, $2.6 M in property taxes have been received. Other Revenues: The three major revenue sources other than property taxes are Franchise Fees (realized $.8 M or 20% actual collected), State shared revenues (on target $.9M or 15% collected), and Public Safety revenues (at this point $300K or 8% collected). Transfers From Other Funds: Current practice is to transfer 1/12 of the budgeted transfers from other funds each month. This will result in 100% realization of this funding source for the year. Expenditures (Exhibit B) Budgeted Expenditures: Overall, appropriations decreased approximately 5% from $68.5 M to $65.1 M. The decrease impacted all departments with the larger decreases coming from Fire and Building departments Actual Expenditures – General Fund expenditures for the two (2) month period ending November 30 (17% of the fiscal year) are $ 17.9 M that is 28% of the $65.1 M expenditure 71 of 584 appropriation for FY 2012. The table at the top of Exhibit B displays actual expenditures of $ 17.9 M or 28% of the FY 2012 budget. At 28%, we are ahead of spending levels compared to the 18% actual spending levels in FY 2011 for this same period. This increase is due to the one-time payment at the beginning of the year for the annual pension obligation as opposed to monthly or bi-weekly payments in previous years. This change in practice has saved the City approximately $1 M annually for all funds. UTILITY FUND The FY 2012 annual expenditure budget of $32.2 M represents a $.3 M increase from the FY 2011 budget of $31.9 M. The operational forecast may yield an estimated $6.8 M fund balance increase for the year based on the budget. For the two (2) month period in FY 2012,  Revenues realized are $ 5.2 M (16%) of the annual budget estimate.  Expenditures incurred are $5.7 M (18%) of the annual appropriated budget. This results in an excess of expenditures over revenues of $ .5 M.

Revenues (Exhibit C) - The $ 5.2 M in FY 2012 actual revenues and fund balance increase are on target compared to the $ 5.5 M to date in FY 2011, because of two factors:  Water Sales - $ 2.9 M equivalent to 16% of the annual estimate, compared to $2.8 M (17%) at this point in FY2011.  In FY 2012, $ 6.8 M is being recognized as an added increase to fund balance, compared to an added increase of $ 4.3 M in FY2011. These factors should provide for adequate bond debt service coverage. Expenditures (Exhibit D) – Utility Fund FY2012 expenditures to date are $ 5.7 M or 18% of the annual appropriation compared to expenditures of $ 5.3 M or 17% for the prior fiscal year. This increase is due to the one-time payment at the beginning of the year for the annual pension obligation as opposed to monthly or bi-weekly payments in previous years. This change in practice has saved the City approximately $1 M annually for all funds.

R12-001 - Approve (a) EQUESTED CTION BY ITY OMMISSION the issuance of Utility System Revenue Bonds, Series 2012, not to exceed $55,000,000 and (b) approve related administrative authorizations ER: On August 16, 2011, the City Commission (Resolution No. R11-088) XPLANATION OF EQUEST (1) Authorized and directed staff to prepare for the financing of various utility capital projects with Utility System Revenue Bonds in the approximate amount of $20,000,000, (2) Authorized the negotiated sale of the bonds through a public bond issuance with RBC Capital Markets serving as the underwriter subject to City Commission approval of a contract between the City and RBC Capital Markets, and (3) Expressed the intent to reimburse capital expenditures incurred prior to the issuance of the bonds with bond proceeds. Since the initial authorization, municipal interest rates have declined and RBC Capital Markets has brought to our attention that it will be financially beneficial to the City to prepay (refinance) all or a portion of the City’s $29,590,000 outstanding Utility System Revenue Bonds, Series 2008, with the issuance of the Series 2012 bonds. The current authorization to issue bonds not exceeding $55,000,000 is determined as follows:  $20,000,000 – Financing for Utility System capital projects  $30,000,000 – Refunding Series 2008 bonds (maximum amount)  $ 5,000,000 – Providing for a 10% reserve requirement per bond resolution, if needed  $55,000,000 123 of 584 Financing Utility System Capital Projects The following large water, sewer and storm water projects over the next two years; FY 2011-12 and FY 2012-13, are included in the Utility Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and have appropriation approval of the City Commission.

The outstanding amount of $29.6 million has payments in the years 2012 - 2028. The loan can be prepaid in part or in full on any interest payment date (5/1 and 11/1) with a premium of 1.00% in the first 10 years and no premium thereafter.  Tax-exempt interest rates are near historical lows, and the City can refinance a portion of this debt for savings by reducing the interest rate. The loan maturities in 2013 - 2023 totaling $13.1 million can be refinanced at a true interest cost of 3.12%. The net present value savings are currently $644,000, which is 4.91% of bonds refunded. This includes the prepayment premium and other costs associated with the refunding. Local governments typically use a threshold of 3.00% of bonds refunded to move forward with a refunding.  The refinancing will lower the City's annual payments by approximately $65,000/year in the years 2013 - 2023 due to the lower interest rate. Combining this refinancing with the City's need for the $20 million in utility improvements creates economies of scale by sharing costs.  The remaining Series 2008 amounts maturing in years 2024 - 2028 totaling $15.9 million may be refinanced at a later date if interest rates make the refinancing economical. Additional maturities may be included in this refinancing if rates are lower at pricing in later January 2012 when the bonds are sold. RBC Capital Markets, as Bond Underwriter, will recommend a final debt structure and projected interest rates, purchase the bonds from the City and market them nationally and locally to institutional and individual investors. Mark E. Raymond, Bond Counsel, serves as legal counsel drafting the Series Resolution, all agreements and disclosure counsel preparing the Preliminary Official Statement (POS) and the final Official Statement (OS) regarding the bond issuance working with both the City Attorney’s Office and the Finance Department. 124 of 584 The Series Resolution provides for (a) the issuance of Utility System Revenue Bonds, Series 2012, not to exceed $55,000,000 and (b) the following related administrative authorizations.  Provides a method for fixing and determining the principal amount, interest rates, maturity dates, redemption provisions and other details of said bonds;  Authorizes the sale of the bonds to RBC Capital Markets, LLC;  Finds necessity for a negotiated sale of such bonds;  Provides a method for approving the form of and authorizing the use of a Preliminary Official Statement and authorizes the preparation, approval and execution of a final Official Statement in connection with such bonds;  Authorizes the execution of a bond purchase contract and a bond registrar agreement;  Authorizes the prepayment of all or a portion of the City's Utility System Revenue Bonds, Series 2008;  Provides for certain continuing disclosure obligations of the City;  Provides for the application of the proceeds of said bonds and certain other moneys;  Authorizes the purchase of a bond insurance policy and reserve surety bond and making certain covenants in connection therewith;  Designates the Bond Registrar for said bonds; containing certain authorizations and other provisions; and providing an effective date. Financial Advisor, PFM, through Jay Glover, Senior Managing Consultant, worked with staff regarding reviews of the Rate Study as to its sufficiency to support the bond sale. In addition, they will serve as an independent consultant to advise us and the Bond Underwriter on the timing, pricing and structure of the bond issuance. Engineering Consultant, CH2M Hill completed a Rate Study that was necessary to determine the water, sewer and storm water rates needed to raise sufficient revenues to support existing Utility operations plus the added debt service to repay bond principal and interest. The City Commission approved those rates and they became effective in November 2011. There is no impact on property taxes or the General Fund to pay the debt service of the new bond issue. The repayment of Utility Revenue Bonds is supported solely by the revenues of the Utility System from increased water and sewer rates in each year from FY 2011-12 through FY 2015-16 to help ensure that sufficient revenues will be generated to meet the new debt service requirements along with other financial commitments. To meet the forecasted debt service requirements and to fund the forecasted deposits into the R&R account, water and sewer rate increases are necessary. Overall, the water and sewer rate increases adopted by the Commission to be increased each year as follows:  FY 2011-12 + 2%  FY 2012-13 + 3%  FY 2013-14 + 3%  FY 2014-15 + 3%  FY 2015-16 + 3% 125 of 584 The increases in water and sewer rates recommended in the Rate Study by CH2M Hill were approved by the City Commission at Public Hearings on September 20 and October 4, 2011. H? Issuance of the bonds will allow the Utility OW WILL THIS AFFECT CITY PROGRAMS OR SERVICES Department to advance its Capital Improvement Plan. Bond proceeds will finance both improvement as well as renewal and replacement projects set forth in this Agenda Item. FI: CH2M Hill also recommends that the City issue another $20,000,000 in Utility ISCAL MPACT Revenue Bonds to fund additional Utility capital projects in another two to three years to finance improvements needed to continue serving existing customers, as well as to have sufficient capacity for new growth. While subject to bond market conditions when new debt is issued, the annual debt service requirement is projected to increase from $5.4 M in FY 2010-11 to $8.2 M in FY 2015-16. The additional debt service (principal and interest) requirement will be paid with the approved water and sewer rates of approximately 2% in FY 2011-12 and 3% thereafter. The other financial commitments of City contained in the Rate Study include:  Depositing funds ($4.3 M in FY 2011-12 to $5.3 M in FY 2015-16) into the Renewal, Replacement and Improvement (RR&I) Account that will be used to pay for anticipated system repairs and replacements.  Making transfers to the City General Fund of $4.5 M in all years; FY 2011-12 to FY 2015-16. A: Commission approval is required to issue debt. Not issuing the bonds will mean (a) not LTERNATIVES undertaking the critical Utility capital projects and (b) not realizing nearly one-half million dollars in debt service savings. 126 of 584 127 of 584 128 of 584 129 of 584 130 of 584 131 of 584 132 of 584 133 of 584 134 of 584 135 of 584 136 of 584 137 of 584 138 of 584 139 of 584 140 of 584 141 of 584 142 of 584 143 of 584 144 of 584 145 of 584 146 of 584 147 of 584 148 of 584 149 of 584 150 of 584 151 of 584 152 of 584 153 of 584 154 of 584 155 of 584 156 of 584 157 of 584 158 of 584 159 of 584 160 of 584 161 of 584 162 of 584 163 of 584 164 of 584 165 of 584 166 of 584 167 of 584 168 of 584 169 of 584 170 of 584 171 of 584 172 of 584 173 of 584 174 of 584 175 of 584 176 of 584 177 of 584 178 of 584 179 of 584 180 of 584 181 of 584 182 of 584 183 of 584 184 of 584 185 of 584 186 of 584 187 of 584 188 of 584 189 of 584 190 of 584 191 of 584 192 of 584 193 of 584 194 of 584 195 of 584 196 of 584 197 of 584 198 of 584 199 of 584 200 of 584 201 of 584 202 of 584 203 of 584 204 of 584 205 of 584 6.

ER: The City of Boynton Beach has been invited to represent the XPLANATION OF EQUEST municipalities of Palm Beach County on the Compact’s Staff Steering Committee. The Compact was entered into by Broward, Miami-Dade, Monroe and Palm Beach Counties in January 2010. Specific accomplishments of the Compact include the development of regionally-consistent methodologies for mapping sea-level rise impacts, assessing vulnerability, and understanding the sources of regional greenhouse gas emissions. Collectively, these work products provide the foundation for the Compact’s Regional Climate Change Action Plan. The plan contains one hundred (100) action items within six (6) categories, including:  Sustainable Communities and Transportation Planning  Water Supply, Management and Infrastructure  Natural Systems and Agriculture  Energy and Fuel  Risk Reduction and Emergency Management  Outreach and Public Policy Previously, Palm Beach County held two (2) votes on the Staff Steering Committee; one (1) vote representing the county and one (1) vote representing the municipalities. Going forward into the implementation phase of the Compact’s Climate Change Action Plan, it was decided by Compact members that those votes be split, with one (1) vote going to a municipality to 226 of 584 represent the other local governments in Palm Beach County. Due to Boynton Beach’s reputation for being a leader in Sustainability, we have been invited to participate as the voting member representing all the municipalities in the county. On January 18, 2012, at the Palm Beach County League of Cities General Membership meeting, Palm Beach County will nominate the City of Boynton Beach as that voting member. Staff respectfully requests that the City Commission approve and support our participation in the Compact in order for Boynton Beach to accept the nomination. A copy of the Southeast Florida Compact Counties Draft Regional Climate Change Action Plan is attached for your review. The Appendices can be downloaded at http://www.southeastfloridaclimatecompact.org/index_files/Page648.htm The Compact will be accepting comments for a 60-day period ending Friday, February 10, 2012 at which time the comments will be presented to the respective Boards of County Commissioners of the Compact Counties. Staff is currently reviewing the plan in comparison with our own Climate Action Plan for comment. H? Boynton Beach was the first municipality OW WILL THIS AFFECT CITY PROGRAMS OR SERVICES in Palm Beach County to adopt by resolution a comprehensive Climate Action Plan, complete a Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory, adopt a Green Building Program, and successfully implement our CAP for over one year (and still on-going). Through our participation in the Palm Beach County City Sustainability Collaborative, we have the mechanism to reach out to all other municipalities within the county to share information and receive feedback to adequately represent the “voice” of Palm Beach County local governments as the liaison to the Collaborative. Having a voice during the implementation phase is very important to Palm Beach County municipalities as determinations are made for how funds flowing into the county for mitigation and adaptation are distributed. We need to guard against unfunded mandates that negatively impact and restrict growth. And we need to pay very close attention to Adaptation Action Area designations incorporated into local comprehensive plans and regional planning documents. The local governments of Palm Beach County need to be represented and the City of Boynton Beach is a logical choice. In the words of Oscar Wilde, “We’re either at the table or on the menu.” FI: Staff time only. ISCAL MPACT A: Not approve staff participation in the Compact.

Hay ________________________________ Commissioner – Steven Holzman _______________________________ Commissioner – Marlene Ross ATTEST: ____________________ Janet M. Prainito, MMC City Clerk (Corporate Seal) 391 of 584 392 of 584 WILLIS EMPLOYEE BENEFITS 800 Corporate Drive, #350 Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33334 Website: www.willis.com Executive Summary Purpose: To identify a vendor to provide physician services, including office space, exam rooms and equipment, to the City of Boynton Beach. The City desires to establish a strong, sound and mutually beneficial relationship with a physician or firm. Background: The City of Boynton Beach entered into a contract for physician services with Bethesda Healthcare System that ends December 2, 2011. By way of contract between Bethesda and Solantic, physicians’ services are being provided to the City by Solantic at the contracted pricing between the City and Bethesda. At the request of the Human Resources staff of the City of Boynton Beach, Willis of Florida developed an Informal Request for Pricing for a qualified firm or physician to provide physician services, including office space, exam rooms and equipment, to the City of Boynton Beach. The IRFP included a Scope of Services for Firefighters, as well as Police and General Employees. The vendors approached were asked to provide us with a breakdown of their costs for services as outlined in the Scope of Services provided by the City. Analysis: The IRFP was distributed by Willis on August 10, 2011. The vendors approached are as follows: Solantic Walk-In Urgent Care, City of Delray Beach CareHere Clinic, MedExpress Urgent Care and U.S. Healthworks. MedExpress Urgent Care did not respond to our Request. City of Delray Beach CareHere Clinic, U.S. Healthworks and Solantic Walk-In Urgent Care all provided pricing for the Scope of Services, which is illustrated on the attached spreadsheet. Solantic Walk-In Urgent Care provided the most competitive pricing, and after Willis negotiated for additional pricing relief from Solantic, they agreed to rates that are, in most instances, equal to or lower than the current pricing, as well as the pricing provided by each responding vendor. In addition, Solantic has agreed to a 3 year rate guarantee, and their clinics are open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. seven days a week. Recommendation: After careful review of the criteria provided by the City, and the proposals submitted by the vendors, Solantic Walk-In Urgent Care has provided a proposal that most closely meets or exceeds the requirements outlined in the City’s Scope of Services, and the City has been satisfied with the services provided by Solantic. 393 of 584 Update: Since Commission approval for the City of Boynton Beach to partner with Solantic Walk-In Urgent Care, Solantic has advised Willis and the City of their intention to close down their clinics in Palm Beach County, effective December 31, 2011. The Human Resources staff of the City of Boynton Beach, requested assistance in securing an alternate option to Solantic for physician services. Willis contacted MDNow to determine if they had any interest in providing said services to the City. Willis provided MDNow with the same information that was distributed at the time of the original IRFP on August 10, 2011. MDNow responded by providing their pricing for the services outlined in the IRFP, which is included in the comparison attached. Recommendation: Based on the pricing provided by MDNow, and after numerous phone conversations with MDNow’s Medical Director, it is Willis’ recommendation that the City of Boynton Beach contract with MDNow for Physician Services for the following reasons: 1.MDNow’s pricing, in most instances, is less costly than those of US Healthworks and in some instances less costly than CareHere. 2.MDNow serves Boynton Beach with locations that are open 7 days per week, 12 hours per day – 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. 394 of 584 395 of 584 396 of 584 397 of 584 398 of 584 399 of 584 400 of 584 401 of 584 402 of 584 403 of 584 404 of 584 PROVIDER AGREEMENT FOR “PHYSICIAN SERVICES” WITH MD NOW MEDICAL CENTERS, INC.

Wantman Group completed the design in 2008 which included two (2) separate sets of plans: (1) the force main pipeline sections and (2) the Lift Station at Pence Park. The projects were to be bid and constructed independent of one another, but were considered as constituent projects that were interdependent upon one another. In late 2008, the City issued Amendment No. 1 to Task Order U07-20-01 to Wantman Group for construction related services, which split the work into three construction contracts: (1) Force Main Open Cut (OC) sections, (2) Force Main Jack and Bore (J&B) sections, and (3) the Lift Station at Pence Park. During the development of Amendment No. 1, it was assumed that two of the three construction periods would overlap, and the contract time for all three contracts was assumed to be a total of eighteen (18) months. This provided a significant economy of scale by constructing two portions of the work concurrently. However, the actual construction of the Force Main Open Cut and Jack and Bore phases of the force main project took longer than originally anticipated which resulted in additional 496 of 584 manhour expenditures for Wantman Group. Furthermore, the City received a bid protest during the award of the construction contract for the Lift Station at Pence Park, and all bids were ultimately rejected. Due to these circumstances, Wantman Group can no longer provide their services for their original fee since the construction of the Force Main Open Cut and Pence Park Lift Station did not occur concurrently and the economy of scale has been lost. The Utilities Department and Wantman Group have developed a revised scope of services to the Task Order which addresses the additional manhours that were required for the Force Main Open Cut and Jack and Bore portions of the work and services for the rebidding the Lift Station at Pence Park project. Since the original General Consulting and Engineering Services Contract has expired, the City intends to issue a separate Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to obtain the services of a consulting engineer to provide Construction Management services for the construction phase of the Lift Station at Pence Park project. Since Wantman Group is the design engineer and Engineer of Record (EOR) for the project, the City must retain Wantman Group to oversee design impacts and answer design-related questions that may arise during the construction phase on an as-needed basis (time and material with a not to exceed amount). The revised scope outlined in Amendment No. 2 identifies these specific services as part of Task 3. H? The construction of the Lift Station at OW WILL THIS AFFECT CITY PROGRAMS OR SERVICES Pence Park will improve the operational flexibility of the Utilities Department’s wastewater pumping system. The Lift Station is designed to pump wastewater through the new force main from the Lift Station at Pence Park to the South Central Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant. If a shut down of the existing force main along Congress Avenue is required in the future, the wastewater flow will be redirected through the new force main. FI: The following is a breakdown of the amended Task Order funding: ISCAL MPACT  Task 1 – Manhour Adjustment for OC and J&B $ 89,490 (Lump Sum)  Task 2 – Rebidding Services $ 14,660 (Lump Sum)  Task 3 – EOR Services During Construction $ 32,500 (Time & Material) $136,650 The CIP has funds available for these services in Utilities Account No. 403-5000-590-96-03 SWR114. The remaining balance of $136,666.11 on Wantman Group’s Purchase Order is sufficient to cover the amended Task Order funding, and no increases to the Purchase Order are required. A: Reject Wantman Group’s request for additional compensation for the Force LTERNATIVES Main Open Cut and Jack and Bore portions of the project. Since Wantman Group is the design engineer and Engineer of Record (EOR), the City must retain Wantman Group to rebid the Lift Station at Pence Park project and answer design-related questions that may arise during the construction phase. 497 of 584 RESOLUTION NO.

ER: Representatives for the Lake Worth Christian School have XPLANATION OF EQUEST submitted an application for special events to allow the school to hold its 3rd annual fundraising carnival on the school campus located at 7592 High Ridge Road, within a residential zoning district. This upcoming event would be similar to the prior events held in 2010 and 2011, again featuring amusement rides, carnival games and various food and non- alcoholic beverage concessions. The application indicates that music is not provided. The rdth event is scheduled to be conducted on February 23 (6pm to 10pm), February 24 (6pm-12 th midnight), and February 25 (12 noon to 12 midnight). The subject application is again being reviewed as a special event; however, recall that staff has previously forwarded this item to the Commission given its potential conflict with zoning regulations. Until December of 2010 when the new LDR was adopted, the zoning regulations only allowed “carnivals” within the M-1 zoning district. Although the zoning code is intended to regulate principal uses, and not necessarily temporary events, staffs interpretation is that a special event should not conflict with the general zoning provisions, particularly given that special events are approved administratively. Although the new LDR changed the provisions applicable to carnivals, omitting the use “Carnivals” and substituting it with a new general use category called “Outdoor Entertainment”, the uses that fall under this general group heading would only be allowed in the C-3 and PCD Zoning Districts. Further, such uses would require conditional use approval and must be at least 1,000 feet from a residential use. Again, staff supports the approval of this temporary event, and only recommends that the approval be conditioned upon the requirement that no general carnival employees would stay 542 of 584 overnight on the school campus. Late evening disturbances from the carnival workers generated a compliant from nearby residents during the first event in 2010. The Commission is also requested to advise staff whether the current process of approving such unique events should continue, or whether it is desired that such uses be handled administratively through the current special events process. Staff will then consider and propose any code amendments necessary to facilitate the desired process. H?

LTERNATIVES 548 of 584 Key Messages to Communicate to Public Safeguarding municipal pensions is a critical issue for Florida’s 410 cities, towns and villages. Politically driven police and fire fighter pension mandates imposed on municipalities by lawmakers in Tallahassee are driving costs up and increase the potential for misuse of the system. The current taxpayer-funded pension structure is broken. It is unstable, unsustainable and unreliable for future police officers and firefighters. The time has come to fix the system by implementing responsible reform that protects pensions for the future. The pension issue is incredibly complicated. It is important to communicate the concerns of Florida’s municipalities in a way that is easy for people to understand and framed appropriately to win the public policy debate. Under the umbrella “pension reform now” message, key supporting message elements include: 1. Respect work of police officers and firefighters -- and protect taxpayers. 2. Identify how the current pension system is unsustainable, unsound and unsustainable. 3. Support responsible reforms to protect pensions so they will be there for future generations of police officers and firefighters and safeguard taxpayer dollars. This messaging approach is supported by scientific research that shows when it comes to police and firefighter pensions, Floridians are most concerned by issues related to disability determination and those who retire and make a large sum of money at an early age. Research shows our most effective messages must communicate support for these key elements:  Enacting responsible reforms to protect pensions for future generations.  Closing loopholes that increase potential for misuse of the system. These are the strongest points to make to win the debate and bring people to our side of the issue. In this messaging, we are positioned to be advocates for responsible pension reform that puts the system on a more stable footing for the future. we support well-deserved pensions for police and firefighters that are sound, The bottom line is, secure and sustainable – not only for current officers and firefighters, but for those who choose to protect and serve in the future .

That’s why current and future officers and firefighters deserve a pension system that is sound, sustainable and reliable.  We appreciate the work police and firefighters do but when it comes to their pensions, here are the facts: The current police and firefighter pension system is full of Tallahassee mandates that o unsustainable, unstable and unreliable have helped make it . 549 of 584 breaking the bankhurting Police and firefighter pensions are in many communities and o service delivery .

(Please add any additional information specific to the City/Town/Village) WHEREAS, the [City/Town/Village] deeply honors and respects the services provided and sacrifices made by police officers and firefighters, and desires to provide current and future police officers and firefighters with a pension system that is sound, sustainable and reliable. The [City/Town/Village] also desires to protect local taxpayers from unsustainable and unsound pension levels. The [City/Town/Village] supports responsible reforms that protect pensions so they will be there for future generations of police officers and firefighters and safeguard taxpayer dollars; and WHEREAS, a priority of the [City/Town/Village] is for the Florida Legislature to address numerous legislative actions it has taken throughout the past 40 years relating to the [City’s/Town’s/Village’s] police and firefighter defined benefit pension plans. These actions have had significant negative fiscal impacts on the [City/Town/Village] and its taxpayers. The legislative reforms the [City/Town/Village] is seeking do not provide cities with a “hand-out” from or a “bail-out” by the Legislature relative to police and firefighter pensions. Rather, the [City/Town/Village] seeks reasonable and responsible changes to state law to “level the playing field” and allow cities to determine and implement police and firefighter pension reform at the local level; and WHEREAS, in 2011, the Florida Legislature passed SB 1128, which took important initial steps in reforming city police and firefighter defined benefit pension plans. The legislation addressed several issues, including prohibiting “spiking” of pension benefits by restricting the use of overtime and unused sick or annual leave payments for pension purposes; eliminating the requirement that increases in police and firefighter member contributions to the pension plan must also include increases in pension benefits; and creating a task force to study issues with various disability presumptions for firefighters and police and corrections officers. Importantly, the 2011 bill did not address the 1999 legislative mandate to perpetually provide “extra” pension benefits to police and firefighters with insurance premium tax revenues; and WHEREAS, prior to 1999, cities were largely free to bargain with local police and firefighter unions, or provide for the non-unionized police and firefighters, the pension benefits that best fit the priorities and needs of the city and its police and firefighters. In 1999, the Florida Legislature amended Chapters 175 and 185, Florida Statutes, relating to city police and firefighter defined benefit pensions to require that additional city insurance premium tax revenues (taxes on property and casualty insurance premiums) over a base amount be used to provide only “extra” pension benefits to police officers and firefighters. An “extra” pension benefit is a pension benefit that must have been given to police and firefighters after 1999 and the benefit must be greater than a pension benefit provided 551 of 584 to general city employees. In aggregate numbers, this mandate has required cities and city taxpayers to provide more than $460 million in new “extra” pension benefits to police officers and firefighters since 1999. This mandate to keep providing “extra” pension benefits is not sustainable, rather the [City/Town/Village] needs the flexibility to use insurance premium tax revenues for the current or a decreased level of police and firefighter pension benefits to meet the [City’s/Town’s/Village’s] budget constraints; and WHEREAS, due to severe budget constraints and rapidly increasing personnel costs, the [City/Town/Village] has attempted to reduce pension costs for general employees, police and firefighters. Numerous other cities have also either attempted or considered reducing pension benefit levels for police and firefighters to levels below those in effect before the 1999 legislative pension mandates. The state Division of Retirement interprets current law to say that if a police or firefighter pension benefit is reduced to a level below the 1999 level, the pension plan will violate state law and the city would forfeit all insurance premium tax revenues. Thus, when cities attempt to bring police and firefighter pension costs under control, the cities’ actions are frequently blocked by the Division of Retirement; and WHEREAS, the Florida Legislature has provided that health conditions relating to heart disease, hypertension or tuberculosis suffered by a firefighter, law enforcement officer or correctional officer are presumed to be job related. These “disability presumptions” are applicable to both workers’ compensation and disability pension claims and have introduced significant opportunities for abuse in the police and firefighter pension system. Courts have interpreted the presumption laws so favorably toward these employees that cities and other government employers basically cannot overcome the presumption and show the health condition was not work related. A Task Force on Public Employee Disability Presumptions is currently meeting to make findings and recommendations to the Legislature. Changes to presumption laws being considered by the Task Force include requiring an employee to meet age and employment requirements, allowing a presumption to be overcome by a preponderance of evidence, and allowing certain individual risk factors to be considered when applying the presumption, such as tobacco use, weight/diet, genetics and lifestyle choices. All of these proposals are designed to bring a fairer balance to the application of presumption laws. It is important to remember that just because an individual does not have a disability presumption does NOT mean they cannot make a workers’ compensation or disability pension claim. Rather, it just means that the individual must show the health condition is work related, just like every other employee who makes a workers’ compensation or pension claim; and WHEREAS, beginning in 1986, the Florida Legislature transferred all operational and administrative control of city police and firefighter defined benefit pensions to legislatively created boards of trustees. These boards of trustees run afoul of local control and are separate legal entities apart from a city that exercise broad powers outside a city’s control, such as directing all investments of the pension fund; hiring plan attorneys, actuaries and other professionals; and making regular and disability pension determinations. In spite of being legislatively created entities and not locally controlled, all costs and expenses, including investment losses, incurred by the boards of trustees of pension plans ultimately become a cost to the city because the city is responsible for paying for all pension benefits. Additionally, boards of trustees are not required to provide fiscal transparency or accountability for substantial amounts of public funds; and 552 of 584 WHEREAS, HB 365 by Representative Fred Costello and SB 910 by Senator Alan Hays have been filed for consideration during the 2012 legislative session. HB 365 and SB 910 would responsibly promote increased police and firefighter pension stability, security and sustainability by making the following changes to current state law: 1. Collective Bargaining Over Retirement Benefits and Revenues: Allow cities and police and firefighter unions to collectively bargain the retirement benefits provided pursuant to, and the use of insurance premium tax revenues provided under, Chapters 175 or 185, Florida Statutes. 2. Alternative Retirement Plans: Allow cities to unilaterally transition to a defined contribution plan, the Florida Retirement System, or another retirement program for police and firefighters and continue to receive insurance premium tax revenues to pay for the retirement expenses. 3. Boards of Trustees Fiscal Transparency and Accountability: Require statutorily created police and firefighter pension boards of trustees to adopt and operate under an administrative expense budget, and require a detailed accounting of pension boards of trustees’ expenses. 4. Fiscally Responsible Retirement Plan Termination: Require police and firefighter pension boards of trustees and cities to work together for a fiscally responsible distribution of plan assets if a city must terminate its police or firefighter retirement plan. 5. Clarify (Again) Police Overtime Used for Retirement Purposes: Clarify (due to an incorrect interpretation by the Division of Retirement of the law passed in 2011) that police officers may use up to 300 hours per year in overtime compensation when calculating retirement benefits as provided in the plan or collective bargaining agreement, and that police officers are not entitled to the use of a minimum of 300 hours per year in overtime compensation for retirement purposes. 6. Disability Presumptions: Reform current statutory disability presumptions for firefighters, law enforcement officers and correctional officers relating to health conditions caused by tuberculosis, heart disease or hypertension to require the employee to meet age and employment requirements, allow the presumption to be overcome by a preponderance of evidence, and allow certain individual risk factors to be considered when applying the presumption.

Applicant: City-initiated ER: The park and recreation impact fee, charged to residential XPLANATION OF EQUEST development, provides a source of revenue to fund construction or improvement of the City’s parks necessitated by growth. It ensures that all future development creating an impact on park and recreational facilities within the City will bear a proportional share of the cost. The methodology used to generate the impact fee schedule is based on the replacement costs of parks and facilities, which fluctuate over time. Since the last update of the impact fees in July of 2006, there have been major decreases in property values as well as significant changes in pricing of facilities. As a result of these changes, the proposed impact fees are substantially reduced. Legal requirements. Florida Statutes, Chapter 163.31801 now requires that the calculation of impact fee be based on the most recent and localized data. The City’s Comprehensive Plan stipulates that the park and recreation impact fee should be reviewed every other year. The proposed update will bring the City in compliance with these requirements. Sources of data. The average cost of vacant land was provided by the 2010 Palm Beach County Appraiser’s database. Staff obtained cost estimates for facilities from three park development/construction firms - Recreational Design and Construction, AECOM, and West Construction. The first two firms provided estimates for 2001 and 2006 calculation of impact fees. West Construction recently completed construction of improvements to Wilson and 557 of 584 Jaycee parks, and has nearly completed construction of the Congress Avenue Community park; it is a contractor with extensive local experience. The estimates were also compared to park construction data obtained from Palm Beach County, and reviewed by staff of Broward County and the City of Boca Raton. As AECOM figures were determined to be underestimated, staff used the average of the West Construction and Recreation Design and Construction pricing in the impact fee calculations. The average civil and site development cost per park acre was provided by West Construction. Changes in methodology. There are no changes in the overall methodology. However, due to data collection changes in the 2010 Census, the only source of the update for the person-per- dwelling unit figures is the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (ACS). Staff used the ACS data, but had to combine the single-family detached and attached dwellings since the ACS provides no breakdown for population residing in these two dwelling categories. Moreover, dwellings in buildings containing two-to-four units were added to the table, since the household size for these dwellings differed significantly from the other two categories. Proposed impact fees per dwelling unit: Type of Dwelling Unit Impact fee per dwelling Single-family, detached or attached $875 Dwellings in buildings containing 2 to 4 units $678 Multi-family (dwellings in buildings containing 5 or more units) $595 Current impact fees per dwelling unit: Type of Dwelling Unit Impact fee per dwelling Single-family, detached $1,418 Single-family, attached $1,045 Multi-family $924 For further information and documentation, see attached ordinance. H? See Fiscal Impact OW WILL THIS AFFECT CITY PROGRAMS OR SERVICES FI: The substantially reduced figures in the updated impact fee schedule reflect ISCAL MPACT the current economic environment. The balance of impact fee trust fund, currently at about $258,000, is unlikely to grow significantly for the foreseeable future, as residential development activity in the region remains dormant, especially in the for-sale housing sector. Although rental rd demand has been strong nationwide, the Palm Beach County apartment vacancy rate in 3 quarter was 7.1%, above the U.S. average of 5.6%. It should be noted that while park construction has slowed due to funding availability (for both for construction and maintenance), existing park resources within the City are adequate to meet the recommended level of service standard for park acreage as indicated in the City’s Comprehensive Plan. Worst case, the future construction of planned park space will be timed with the slower accumulation of impact fee dollars, and/or identification of additional funding sources for park construction and maintenance. A: This update is required by state law. Staff proposes this update based on the LTERNATIVES best available data and a professionally-accepted methodology. Staff does not propose an 558 of 584 alternative methodology or recommend the use of an outside consultant to conduct this analysis and update due to cost, and the likelihood that the consultant would use core data similar to what was used by staff. 559 of 584 ORDINANCE NO. 11- AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA AMENDING LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS, CHAPTER 2, ARTICLE VI, “IMPACT AND SELECTED FEES”, SECTION 2, “CITY PARKS AND RECREATION FACILITIES IMPACT FEE OR LAND DEDICATION” TO RE-CALCULATE THE IMPACT FEES BASED ON THE MOST RECENT AND LOCALIZED DATA OF THE REPLACEMENT COSTS OF PARKS AND FACILITIES; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS, SEVERABILITY, CODIFICATION AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

The principal of non-discrimination and one man/one vote shall be adhered to strictly”. These districting requirements in the City Charter are consistent with generally accepted standard practice and the legal rulings and guidelines that emanate from the 1965 Voting Rights Act and its Amendments. Due to substantial population imbalance across the districts significant boundary adjustments need to be made to reach a reasonable population balance by district. The smaller districts must add population/territory and the largest district will need to release territory and thus population to several of its neighboring districts. To reestablish population balance, District 2 must expand significantly and District 1 and District 3 also need increased population. At the October 18, 2011 City Commission meeting, Florida Atlantic University (FAU), the consultant contracted to facilitate the redistricting process, presented four (4) separate alternatives for the City Commission’s consideration. The motion was made to accept Alternative B and was passed on a 3-2 vote with Mayor Rodriguez and Commissioner Ross dissenting. H?
