PUBLIC AUDIENCE INDIVIDUAL SPEAKERS WILL BE LIMITED TO 3 MINUTE PRESENTATIONS (at the discretion of the Chair, this 3 minute allowance may need to be adjusted depending on the level of business coming before the City Commission) mzffluff *T-TIM Harry Woodworth, 685 NE 15 Place, and President of INCA commented Representative Hager would hold a Town Hall Meeting on Saturday at 9:30 a.m. at Intracoastal Park to discuss sober homes. He encouraged anyone with questions about sober homes to attend. Coffee and refreshments would be served. Last week he attended a seminar at Fire Station No. 5 held by Chief Katz regarding fair and impartial policing. Senior Police staff and community representatives attended. The seminar focused on bias in policing and society and how police conduct their affairs, He was surprised no one from the Coalition of Clergy or the City Commission attended. Mayor Taylor explained Chief Katz has held these discussions at other locations and the Commission has attended them. He did not attend due to a scheduling conflict. Commissioner McCray also went online and printed the information. Representatives from District 11 had attended, but he also was surprised the Coalition of Clergy did not attend. . Mike Ross, 3386 Quantum Lakes Drive, noted a five-year old boy was run down and killed by,a convicted felon fleeing a police officer. The driver was recently let out of prison after a short stay and Mr. Ross thought it was a failure of the criminal justice system. , Mr. Ross thought it was necessary for the Police to be able to pursue dangerous criminals and thought some would want to ban or curtail police pursuits. He noted society is much safer when the police can enforce the law and he hoped the City Commission would not placate a few individuals that would enable criminals. Mr. Ross commented body cameras would not lead to a reduction in crime and suggested funds that would be used on cameras would be better used by hiring more police officers. He suggested instituting road blocks and check points in high crime neighborhoods similar to DUI checkpoints which the courts have held are legal. Vehicles would be stopped, licenses, registration, insurance cards could be checked, and outstanding warrants found. They could have drug sniffing dogs outside the vehicle and a positive reaction from the dog would be probable cause to search the vehicle for drugs or weapons. He also thought a camera wired to a facial recognition database would allow officers to identify passengers in the car for outstanding warrants and opined that had this been in place, the felon would have been captured while driving without a valid license. Mr. 4 Meeting Minutes City Commission Meeting Boynton Beach, Florida Ross announced he would welcome this in his neighborhood and he wanted to empower the police to keep them safe. Tom McClure, 2004 South Federal Highway, current president of Boynton Intracoastal Group (BIG) commented BIG was offended by candidate James Brake and asserted Mr. Brake altered a BIG flyer in reference to a candidates forum BIG was holding in conjunction with the League of Women's Voters. Mr. McClure also asserted Mr. Brake solicited on BIG property which was not permitted, to place his flyer over the BIG and League of Women Voters event notice. Mr. McClure advised BIG and the League of Women Voters will hold a political forum on Thursday, February 25, 2016, at 5:30 p.m. at Sterling Village, located at 500 S. Federal Highway. Mary Nagle agreed with Mr. McClure. She also advised she saw Chief Katz on February 21' and he and his command staff did an outstanding job educating residents on police tactics, strategies and successfully working with the community. Steven Grant, NE 3 rd Avenue, attended the Barrier Free 5K Run and won in his age group. He commended Chief Katz on the acquisition of Geofeedia which would help reduce crime. He was pleased the City obtained another police dog and asked if the City acquired any electric vehicles. Mr. Grant noted the City has electric vehicle charging stations and the vehicles could help the environment. Mr. Grant commented on Resolution 16-028 to accept the settlement of $200 and hoped the City did not accept it because title insurance would pay for the full amount of the water bill. Rev. Bernard Wright, 712 NW 2 nd Street, thanked the City Commission and Fire Department for their participation with the Robert E. Wells Celebration last Saturday and advised the children had a great 'time. He commended Police Chief Katz, Jeff Livergood, Director Public Works, and Warren Adams, Historic Preservation Planner. Rev. Wright requested the Neighborhood Community Policing Program be renamed. He supported interaction between the police and the community, but thought the word "Policing" had negative connotations and he was trying to educate the community regarding the program. He noted crime is everywhere. He favored body cameras, renaming the program and defended Boynton Beach as a great, family-friendly City that has low crime statistics. No one else coming forward, Mayor Taylor closed the public hearing. 5. ADMINISTRATIVE A. Appoint eligible members of the community to serve in vacant positions on City advisory boards.

Commissioner Merker complimented Jeff Livergood, Director, Public Works and Engineering, on a fine road resurfacing job in Leisureville and thanked him for speaking and attending Leisureville meetings. Vice Mayor Casello received phone calls about the street and how the road abuts to the driveways as there had been gaps. Mr. Livergood explained this project would address that issue and ensure there is a transition from the pavement to the driveways. Some driveways will require a feathered transition. Vice Mayor Casello asked if there is a schedule to address a certain number of streets in the community each year.

Authorize the City Manager; 1) To send a letter to Palm Interlocal Agreement; 2) Contract with Motorola, Statement of Work (SOW); Beach County opting out of the P25 Migration the selected vendor, directly for the City's A" Meeting Minutes February 16, 2016 3) Enter into an agreement with Omnicom Consulting Group (OCM) for Implementation support and execute any required documents upon attorney review and approval. Z =.. t Commissioner McCray moved to approve. Commissioner Merker seconded the motion. Vice Mayor Casello asked Interim Fire Chief Hoggatt if this item would be good for the City. Interim Fire Chief Hoggatt responded it would and the P25 Migration Program was an ongoing project across the country. It was his understanding the City would piggy back the Palm Beach County System which was the backbone of the project, but attempting to go out for a separate complete system would be much more expensive. He complimented the Purchasing Department on an excellent job working on the terms of the agreement with Motorola to make the program financially available to Boynton Beach. Interim Fire Chief Hoggatt noted the police and fire radio system is a much needed tool and he thought this would be the best deal they could get. Motorola is the backbone of the industry and a better brand. Vice Mayor Casello requested confirmation Motorola was financing the system. Interim Chief Hoggatt deferred the question to the Finance Director and understood in order to obtain the product; the City will take advantage of financing to stretch out the payments. Vice Mayor Casello received confirmation the payments totaled $2.5 million. Vice Mayor Casello inquired if using the County Dispatch System, all the costs would be paid by the County including upgrades, updates and equipment replacements. Interim Chief Hoggatt did not know, but understood it was part of what the County was offering. Retired Chief Carter had conducted a study regarding the Police and Fire Departments communicating through one communication center, versus transferring to another communications center and Interim Fire Chief Hoggatt heard positive and negative things. Retired Chief Carter had only requested opinions regarding overall operations from Interim Chief Hoggatt, but it was Retired Chief Carter who compiled the report and dealt with the City Manager. Vice Mayor Casello favored using the County system and saving the taxpayers $2.5 million. Commissioner Fitzpatrick disclosed his brother-in-law is an electrical engineer for Harris and understood Motorola has 80% of the market and Harris had 20% or less. Harris had less hardware chips in the radios and they were more programmable, making it easier to keep them up-to-date because the chips could be reprogrammed. Harris also had a phone application which would allow cell phones to function as radios. Harris 1E, Meeting Minutes City Commission Meeting Boynton Beach, Florida services the military and had a tougher design. He understood their radios are more cost effective. He thought even if the County purchased a central hub system through Motorola which would allow all parties to digitally communicate with one another, Harris radios were compatible with Motorola cell towers. He favored comparing products. City Manager LaVerriere clarified the action being requested did not include the purchase of hand-held radios. It was to enter into a contract with Omnicom, who was the County's consultant, to conduct the City's radio needs assessment, which would cost around $41,000. They would then engage Motorola and enter into an agreement for the turn-key system, not the radios. The turn-key hardware is about $400,000 which the City Commission needed to decide on at the meeting. The City's system has to be compatible with the County system. The cost of the radios would be about $2 million, but the City would have options. She pointed out there were well more than two brands of radios that could work with the P25 system. The purchase of radios would come back at another time. Commissioner Merker thought the City Commission had discussed this item months ago and - thought the City should move forward and upgrade. He did not think the City Commission was hearing the entire issue. If the County took the matter over, it would not be correct to say the City Commission was saving the taxpayers $2.5 million because residents pay County taxes. He wanted to keep fire services within the City. Mayor Taylor had discussed the matter with the City Manager and the item would financially assist the City to make the change as opposed to having to come up with all the funds at once if they stayed with the County. This could be financed over a number of years and he favored what was being presented. Vice Mayor Casello again asked if the City used a County-dispatch system would they save $2.5 million. Tim Howard, Finance Director, responded the City would not have the expense at the moment. Vice Mayor Casello requested confirmation the County would be responsible for purchasing the radios at another time. Mr. Howard confirmed the County would purchase the radios, but he did not know if the expense would be charged back to the City. City Manager LaVerriere thought without a detailed analysis, Mr. Howard could not fully answer the question. The projected cost of the radios was $2 million. Vice Mayor Casello thought the issue should be investigated further. City Manager LaVerriere did not know how long ago retired Chief Carter conducted the analysis or if it was part of the City's Strategic Plan. She agreed to pull the plan and bring it back to a City Commission meeting to determine if the City wanted to consider moving its dispatch to Palm Beach County. She recalled the City Commission had voted not to proceed in that direction. While they have been negotiating with the County, staff was moving forward with assembling the new system on its own. Vice Mayor Casello recalled they had discussed the matter in a meeting with Retired Chief Carter and he was not comfortable is Meeting Minutes City Commission Meeting Boynton Beach, Florida bringing it forward. He thought, down the road, the City has to consider the financial aspect. He requested the item be put on a future agenda. Vote The motion unanimously passed. 8. CODE COMPLIANCE and LEGAL SETTLEMENTS - None 7 P.M. OR AS SOON THEREAFTER AS THE AGENDA PERMITS The City Commission will conduct these public hearings in its dual capacity as Local Planning Agency and City Commission. A. PROPOSED ORDINANCE NO. 16-004 - FIRST READING - Approving a request for abandonment of a portion of a ten (10) foot wide utility easement at the rear of the residence in order to construct a private swimming pool, located at 2731 SW 23rd Cranbrook Drive and zoned PUD (Planned Unit Development). Applicant: Shawn Lago, homeowner. City Attorney Cherof read Proposed Ordinance No. 16-004 by title only on first reading. Mayor Taylor opened the issue for Public Hearing. No one came forward. A Commissioner McCray so moved. Commissioner Merker seconded the motion. Commissioner Fitzpatrick inquired how often easements are abandoned. Mike Rumpf, Planning and Zoning Director, responded the easements are abandoned as needed. When an easement has no current or future value, and the land over it has a proposed use, it is usually a private ownership matter, but staff reviews it. The City does not need the land and utilities are elsewhere on the property. Vice Mayor Casello inquired if this is done because Homeowners Associations do not have the funds to address it. He asked if it cost the City money and learned the costs are included in the application fees. Vote Interim City Clerk Pyle called the roll. The vote was 5-0. 10. CITY MANAGER'S REPORT - None M Meeting Minutes City Commission Meeting Boynto6 Beach, Florida .Tff 11. UNFINISHED BUSINESS - None 12. NEW BUSINESS A. Create "Honorary Robert E. Wells Avenue" on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard from Federal Highway to Seacrest Boulevard. Commissioner McCray asked Warren Adams, Historic Preservation Planner, how far back he researched Wells Avenue and learned he researched back to 1920 when segregation occurred. Rev, Bernard Wright had further information on the Wells family all the way to the 1890's when Robert Well first came to the City. Commissioner McCray inquired if Mr. Adams researched Washington and Lincoln Streets. Mr. Adams explained the City recently applied for a State grant which was ranked second, and he was waiting to hear if they would be funded. All of the funds would be spent on a research project in the Heart of Boynton area and that was when they would have the time and resources to fully research the area, and recognize all of the people who contributed to the Heart of Boynton. He wanted to recognize as many of the original pioneers as possible. Commissioner McCray noted District 11 has Heritage Park and that is where individuals are honored. The family completes an application and presents it to the MLK Committee. There are already two names that would be placed there. He was concerned if they start renaming streets for honorary individuals, it would open up a "Pandora's Box." He proposed to place a plaque in Heritage Park for the Wells, Washington and Lincoln families to recognize them. Commissioner McCray also favored having plaques for businesses on MLK Boulevard, such as for Glaston "Alex" Sims. He noted Rev. Wright's Grandmother, Roxie Wright, also should be recognized. Rev.Wright pointed out Mr. Wells built the first street and it was called Wells Avenue. Rhere were other individuals who contributed to the Town. He felt Mr. Wells' accomplishments superseded others and thought he deserved a sign not just a plaque. There are names at Heritage Park that had nothing to do with the growth and development of the Town. He thought no one would mind a sign indicating Robert E. Wells Memorial Avenue, and it was his family's legacy. Robert Wells was living in Boynton before the Town was even named and if it had not been for the research project, the Wells family history would have been lost. Mayor Taylor explained even if approved, the City was not officially renaming the street and the sign would not be at the intersection, Rev. Wright thought the word "memorial" should be used instead of the word "honorary." Commissioner Fitzpatrick asked if Commissioner McCray was in favor of the item and learned he favored honoring him at Heritage Park, not for the street name. 13 Meeting Minutes City Commission Meeting Boynton Beach, Florida February 16, 2016 Vice Mayor Casello moved to accept the item to create Honorary Wells Avenue. Commissioner Fitzpatrick seconded the motion. Rev Wright requested the using the word "memorial." Vice Mayor Casello thought there may be legal issues; however, Attorney Cherof advised there were no legal restraints. Mr. Livergood explained the sign would have a brown background with white letters in conformance with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. It would be placed on the street at a location to be determined with Rev. Wright, not at the intersection. I J, Vice Mayor Casello amended his motion to change the word "honorary" to "memorial." Commissioner Fitzpatrick agreed to the amendment. Commissioner McCray explained - they should not set a precedent, and all three streets, Wells, Washington and Lincoln Avenue should be recognized. Commissioner McCray moved to change all three street names as discussed as Wells, Washington and Lincoln Avenue. Vice Mayor Casello suggested moving forward with Wells Avenue and when Mr. Adams finished with his research, he could request the other name changes. Mr. Merker moved to table. Commissioner McCray seconded the motion. The motion passed 3-2, (Vice Mayor Casello and Commissioner Fitzpatrick dissenting.) The item would be heard when Mr. Adams finished with research. B. Discussion on permitting functions held at Sara Sims Park, requested by Commissioner McCray. Commissioner McCray commented when people request a permit for an event, they indicate they will only have 100 people. Then social media comes into play and the event grows. He was aware there is money in the budget for Sara Sims Park, but he did not want any money spent until the City got a handle on the ATVs at the park and 14 Meeting Minutes City Commission Meeting Boynton Beach, Florida the barber shop building was demolished. He also requested the City investigate the cost of a fence if the City had to fence the park to gain control. The City had not issued any more permits for the park and no one has been calling indicating there were parties occurring and the area has been calm. He suggested if someone wants to have an event, the City not issue a permit for Sara Sims Park until better safeguards were in place and there are other parks that could be used that give the Police greater control. Vice Mayor Casello asked if the permit specifies how many people would attend and the purpose of the function. City Manager LaVerriere responded the City has a special event permit process. If there is a function that is not properly permitted, the Police will check for permits and disburse the crowd. Vice Mayor Casello asked if the City requires any kind of security based on the number of attendees. The permit is processed through each department, but Ms. LaVerriere did not think security was required for a gathering. John Durgan, Special Projects Coordinator, explained it all depended on the Police Department. He noted all departments review the information and the Police Department could make a recommendation whether the event requires a police detail. Commissioner Merker preferred to use the word "event." A park with a permit has to be regulated and the Police and Fire Departments have control. When there is a permit at a house, he thought it was more dangerous. Commissioner McCray explained the problem is once the permit is issued, the applicant invites more people. If there are too many people attending, fire and police vehicles cannot gain access to the park, attendees park in people's yards and control is lost. Vice Mayor Casello suggested they include a number of attendees that cannot be exceeded. Jeff Katz, Police Chief, explained the permit process is only as good as the information submitted. He received permits that had indicated 100 or 125 people would attend and the number increased following permit approval. From a public safety view, the problem is ascertaining how many officers to assign to the detail. They also encounter ATVs, dirt bikes and motorcycles making it difficult to maintain order. He did not think it was the best use of the Police Department. The community informed him the parties are posted on social media, people from out of town attend and they bring weapons. He supported Commissioner McCray's position. Mayor Taylor inquired who pays the cost for the extra officers and learned the City did. Vice Mayor Casello asked how the police would disburse a large, unruly crowd and learned it would be a show of force. The Police Department would show up, announce the route to take to leave, they would form a line and move the crowd out. When there are limited resources and a lot of people, some of whom may be armed; there is only one way to safely disperse the group. 15 Meeting Minutes City Commission Meeting Boynton.Beach, Florida February 16, 2016 Commissioner Merker agreed with Commissioner McCray. Commissioner Fitzpatrick asked if there was a cost to pull a permit. Mr. Durgan responded the permit application is $25 and the permit is $25. Commissioner Fitzpatrick suggested having a $500 deposit to cover any unforeseen expenses and he supported Commissioner McCray's recommendation. Rev. Wright, 713 NW 2 nd Street, advised he lives down the street from Sara Sims Park, and explained each time they have a big event, the cars disperse with no problems. There had never been a police problem or riot situation at the Park. He thought the residents could go to the park in droves if desired because it is a community Park and questioned the need for a permit and the charges. Mark Karageorge, 240A Main Boulevard, explained the City could have the best of intentions, but when the end result is a dead person there is a problem. He noted seniors in District 11 were afraid to go out during the event. He supported Commissioner McCray's position and commented the Coalition of Clergy does as well because their parishioners do not want to live in fear. A Commissioner McCray moved no permits be issued in District 11 for Sara Sims Park until the City could better control the events there. Commissioner Merker seconded the motion. Vice Mayor Casello noted residents often do not get a permit. He agreed with Commissioner McCray's request, but commented the residents would have to watch for any gatherings at the Park. Vote The motion unanimously passed. 13. LEGAL A. PROPOSED RESOLUTION NO. R16-034 - Authorize the City Manager to sign Participation Agreement attached as Exhibit "A" to the Interlocal Agreement (ILA) between the School District of Palm Beach County, Palm Beach County and Municipalities of Palm Beach County for Coordinated Planning ("Coordinated Planning Agreement"). 16 Commissioner McCray so moved.

Attorney Cherof read Proposed Ordinance No. 16-005 by title only on first reading. Motion Commissioner Merker moved to approve. Commissioner Fitzpatrick seconded the motion. Commissioner Merker requested further information on the item. Attorney Cherof advised the Ordinance would give the City the ability to foreclose on a lien to encourage payment.
