CITY MANAGER'S REPORT — None 10. UNFINISHED BUSINESS - None 11. NEW BUSINESS A. Commissioner Casello requested to discuss diesel exhaust systems for the Fire Stations. Commissioner Casello stated the Fire Department received a grant for Gear Drying equipment, and diesel exhaust filtration system. He believed the City had these systems already in place. Many other municipal fire departments have these systems installed already. Commissioner Casello said research has found more than 2/3 of firefighters (68%) developed cancer compared to 22% of the general population. Noted in 2017 cancer was the number one killer of firefighter which surpasses heart disease. He understands there will be three stations which will not have the filtration system. Understands there was a long range plan to install one fire station per year. It was his feeling knowing what is known that diesel fumes cause cancer. Asked if this could be done ASAP. The City should do everything they can to protect the firefighters. This was a health hazard which has been well documented. Inquired if the City knew that cancer was the number one killer of firefighters. He understands there was money in the budget to do non-essential items such as reroofing the dugout, golf course road, maintenance work at the tennis club. He was requesting his fellow Commissioners to ask the City Manager to find the funding for the additional three Infiltration Systems and have them installed as quickly as possible. Fire Chief Joseph responded the City of Boynton Beach has a very aggressive Fire health and safety program; the last three years they have replaced all of the bunk gear, replaced all infrared cameras, expedited the bull success program. These were all large dollar items they were an immediate need. Purchased an extractor to clean the equipment to make sure chronic exposure was not happening after fires. Indicated the City plan was very aggressive and minimizes the exposure and the risk to First Responders. Chief Joseph noted the City of Boca Raton has had the exhaust system for the past 25 years, Palm Beach County has one or two stations which has an exhaust system. The City of Delray Beach has applied for a new system called "No Smoke". Chief Joseph indicated the Fire Department received a grant for station one for $81,000. Fire Chief Joseph provided a breakdown of cost associated with each station: fire station # 2 cost was estimated at $74,000, cost estimated for station #4 $60,000 the estimated 15 Meeting Minutes City Commission Boynton Beach, Florida September 6, 2018 cost for fire station # 5 was $115,500 to install the systems. The total cost was $250,000, plus the cost of the maintenance of the system of $7,500 per year. The cost was significant. Chief Joseph believed the plan in place was reasonable. Commissioner Casello stated it was a known fact that diesel exhaust fumes cause cancer. Noted the City has money in the CIP budget to do a roof, tennis club, but he believes those could be deferred to a later time. Commissioner Casello said the system saves one life it would be well worth it. Fire Chief Joseph noted there were many things which cause cancer, and he agree that diesel fumes cause cancer. Whatever direction the Commission gave him he would comply. Mayor Grant stated at Fire Station #1 the exhaust fans were not working. Asked if this was being monitored. Fire Chief Joseph stated they are aggressively monitoring the inside of the Fire Stations. Mayor Grant stated he was at Mission Barbeque function which raised over $1,800 for the Firefighter Benevolent Association. Understood the City has a plan to have all the Fire Stations have filtration systems installed over a three-year period. Each station currently has exhaust fans. Chief Joseph stated they have exhaust fans, but the new evolving standard was the direct capture system. Chief Joseph indicated they are doing the best they could with the funding which was allocated. Commissioner McCray requested the cost for east station. Chief Joseph stated station #2, $74,500, #4 with 3 bays $60,000 #5 has 6 bays, the cost would be $115,500. There was a maintenance cost of $7,500. Ms. LaVerriere asked if the maintenance cost was $7500 per station. Chief Joseph stated this was for all the stations. Commissioner McCray asked how many cases have been reported on death certificates regarding the diesel fumes as per Commissioner Casello. Chief Joseph stated he did not have an answer to that question. He could not correlate the diesel fumes to a death, but he noted diesel fumes places the firefighter at a greater risk, just like smoking and obesity. Commissioner McCray inquired if the City waited three years, would this place the firefighters at risk. Chief Joseph stated the City has been in business since 1924. He does not believe 3 years was unreasonable. Chief Joseph stated with the newer EPA system in the diesel engines was cleaning the exhaust even before the extractors are placed. The newer exhaust coming out was cleaner than going into them. 16 Meeting Minutes City Commission Boynton Beach, Florida September 6, 2018 Commissioner Casello asked how many runs do the fire stations provide. Chief Joseph stated about 15,000 per year. Commissioner Casello noted the trucks was going in and out of the stations 15,000 times. Inquired if Chief Joseph was aware there were air quality issues at the Fire Station. Chief Joseph stated the City closed down the station and the problem was addressed. Commissioner Casello repeated diesel exhaust is known to cause cancer. Commissioner Casello made a suggestion to delay some of the other non- essential CIP projects. Commissioner Casello stated it has been proven and it was a fact diesel fumes cause cancer. Chief Joseph stated he believed the plan which they have was a solid plan. Commissioner Casello asked if the funds could be found would Chief Joseph expedite the installation process. Chief Joseph stated he would follow the Commission's direction. Commissioner Katz asked what was the cost of the Golf Course pathway in the City CIP. Mr. Howard responded the allocation for next year was $200,000 for the upcoming year, for the entry road. Commissioner Katz stated this was the road from Jog Road to the clubhouse. It was property which the City does not own. It was a county road; he would be in support of moving the golf course funds. He would like to see more data on the tennis court usage. There would still be a $50,000 short fall. Vice Mayor Romelus asked about the maintenance fees. If this fee was for all stations or per station? Inquired if all stations will be built within a three-year time period? Chief Joseph stated one station per year will be completed. At the end of the three-year period all stations will be completely installed with the new exhaust system. The yearly maintenance would be for all installed systems. Mayor Grant requested a motion. Motion Commissioner Casello moved to request the City Manager to find funds from projects which could be delayed. Vice Mayor Katz seconded the motion with a change, which would specifically identify the Golf roadway and find the additional funds from a different source. Vote 3-2 Motion failed (dissenting Vice Mayor Romelus, Commissioner McCray, Mayor Grant) B. Mayor Grant requested to discuss potential environmental regulations pertaining to the use of straws and polystyrene(Styrofoam) within the City. 17 Meeting Minutes City Commission Boynton Beach, Florida September 6, 2018 Mayor Grant indicated he had a conversation with the Sustainability Coordinator, Rebecca Harvey and she indicated the City are preempted from certain rules regarding styrofoam and plastic straws. He would like to move forward with a green business program. Rather than trying to ban these items, the City could provide certain incentives to businesses. He provided a listing, such as reduce cost, reduction rates for recycles for commercial building, maybe a reduction rate on their trash. Mayor Grant was asking for direction in moving forward with the Green Business Program. Commissioner McCray asked if this was just for businesses. Could the Sustainability Coordinator bring additional information and address what is currently in place. Mayor Grant stated the City was just beginning to moving forward with the program. Ms. LaVerriere replied this was the start of the development of the program Vice Mayor Romelus suggested a development grant could be provided. Encouraging businesses to be more green and environmentally friendly could be a stipulation or requirement of a grant which the City can utilize. She understands this would only apply to new businesses, perhaps businesses that are doing remodeling this could help as well. Commissioner Katz noted he would like to see some statistical analysis, not necessarily in favor of a grant program. He did not think taxpayers should be paying businesses to do what was socially responsible. The cost increase could be minimal. He would like to see an analysis of alternates to plastic or styrofoam, what was the impact on the business. If an impact was minimal on the business, he would not be opposed to discounts on recycling. He would be weary; we need to make the sure the cost benefits make sense. If businesses sign on that would be great for the environment, but if it were to reduce the revenue the City receives from trash or recycling there needed to be a balance. Trying to do what is right for the environment and doing what is right for the residents. He would like to see more information. Commissioner Katz stated this was very popular in the media and the local government recently. If the City were to design a program or prohibition on certain types of products it would need to be comprehensive. Commissioner Katz indicated many people saw the turtle with the straw in its nose, now this was the conversation. If the City wanted to meaningfully address environmental concerns regarding disposable or single use plastic, the City needs to look into a comprehensive environmental plan. Explained there are many other animals which are being impacted other than the turtles. Mayor Grant asked Rebecca Harvey to share her ideas on the Green Business Program. Inquired if she received enough comments to begin the green program. Rebecca Harvey, Sustainability Coordinator, indicated the comments were helpful. Noted Mayor Grant mentioned preemption. The State of Florida Preempts single use plastic bags. Indicated that law was being challenged by the City of Coral Gables. Staff has many ideas. She would be happy to share a draft soon. LEI Meeting Minutes City Commission Boynton Beach, Florida September 6, 2018 Commissioner Casello asked if there are companies doing this on their own; such as getting rid of straws and or styrofoam. Ms. Harvey indicated some companies are. Commissioner Casello would this require businesses to switch out to more expensive product and cause a financial burden on the businesses. Ms. Harvey stated she would provide an analysis for the Commission to see. There was consensus C. Mayor Grant requested to discuss potential use of Campaign Contribution Statement — Copy attached. Mayor Grant stated while at the South Central Regional Waste Water Treatment Board this was introduced and thought this was something which the City of Boynton Beach could utilize. So that if anyone is doing business with the City or the CRA would require to disclosure they contributed to the campaign of the Commissioners or the Mayor. He feels this was in the same vein as public disclosure. The City announces who had made any contributions and is published on the clerk's webpage. This would give an additional layer of paperwork, this will give those who are not monitoring the web this information who was giving money to the campaign, this was also in response to the 12th amendment. He was not sure if anyone else saw that all elected officials are prohibited from lobbying for 6 years after their term was over or prohibited from lobbying while they were in office. This was something which they hold in the public trust. Anything which can be done which will make sure that the public can trust the Commission to move forward he was in agreement. Mayor Grant was asking the Commission to help to move forward with having this campaign contribution statement when dealing with new businesses, both the City and the CRA. Commissioner Casello stated in the form of transparency the Commission disclosed this information on their campaign forms which are filled out on a monthly basis. He believes this was another layer of paper which does not serve any purpose, if all are being honest and transparent, if everything was being disclosed. Mayor Grant stated If the Commission feels this was an extra layer of paperwork, the public does not need to know when there was a hearing, they could be denied on that, whether the person has given funds to the campaign. Commissioner Katz suggested including the most recent campaign contribution report/cycle for any elected official. Commissioner Katz noted the example presented stated they must publicity noticed, there are two clauses; one is the individuals would need to actively monitor the agenda items to ensure the contribution is disclosed; then, any business or vendor coming before the Commission would need to disclose they gave money to the campaign. It seems as through each party would need to monitor and submit disclosures both ways. 19 Meeting Minutes City Commission Boynton Beach, Florida September 6, 2018 Mayor Grant stated this was correct. If the City wanted to take out the elected officials, they are required to do this in writing already, this would be for any applicant which has given money to any of the Commissioners or Mayor for disclosure purposes. Commissioner Katz stated he did not have a problem with this, but it places a burden on the officials. He provided some examples for the Commission to think about. Since the elected officials already has this on the City website in the spirit of transparency. Members of the advisory board, anyone which served on any committee to avoid any conflict of interest should do this. He welcomed any form of greater transparency. Commissioner McCray was in agreement with Commissioner Casello. There are disclosures at the beginning of the meetings for all elected officials. He was not in favor of this item. Commissioner Casello asked how can this be monitored. Mayor Grant indicated any type of contract the City has. There would be a statement on the paperwork, when the City has individual applying for major site plans. Commissioner Casello asked if the professional developers, with projects in the City would need to disclose in some form to state they gave an amount of dollars to each campaign. Vice Mayor Romelus asked about the repercussion if the information was not presented or forgotten. Mayor Grant stated if they failed to disclose, whatever they obtained, they could be banned. Commissioner McCray said this would be another layer of paperwork. Indicated there was something already in place. Commissioner Katz noted this was solely for candidate campaign, what about the PACT. How can the loophole be closed? Mayor Grant stated there are multiple loopholes in campaign contributions. This was public disclosures. If the board does not feel as through this was positive or necessary, we can move on. Commissioner Casello stated with PACTS, LLC `s and third party contributions would not be covered. The Commission must be ethically and morally transparent to the public. We should pay the heavy dividend; this would be hard to monitor. Commissioner Katz stated he would like to look into this, to see how this was being done in Lake Worth. He could see supporting something along these lines, but he would like additional information. Vice Mayor Romelus asked the City Attorney to weigh in on the item. In regards with what the City has already, was this a necessary next step. Attorney Cherof stated he will have limited comments, if adopted it would be legal. 20 Meeting Minutes City Commission Boynton Beach, Florida September 6, 2018 Vice Mayor Romelus stated she has issues with how this was presented on the agenda. She was ok with continuing the conversation. Stated there was a level of overlap. She was willing to entertain hearing some of the members of the Lake Worth Commission. She was all about being transparent and have full faith in the board and the City leadership. Mayor Grant stated he wanted to place this on the Agenda hopefully the first meeting in October. Commissioner Katz requested clarification of the process for placing elected officials requested items on the agenda. His understanding was any elected officials would need to gain consent at a previous meeting. He stated he believed there was some mixed interpretation. He believed any item needed to have consent. The Commission could choose if the board consented in placing an item, it could be placed under New Business for the next meeting or Future Agenda item that could come up when the information has been gathered and the item was ready to be heard. He was not under the understanding that anyone could unilaterally place something on the agenda without the board having approved it from consent on a previous meeting. Mayor Grant requested clarification from counsel regarding the Roberts Rules of Procedure; the Mayor can add an item to the agenda. Attorney Cherof stated the Commission establishes the process of building the agenda. This has been the customary practice in the City of Boynton Beach. It takes the consensus of the Commission to add to an agenda for action. It may get on their first for discussion, but that discussion must end with a consensus to put it on the agenda for action. Mayor Grant said this is what he understood, he was not trying to have a first reading. This was just a discussion; he would want anyone on the Commission to add an item for discussion not for action. If anyone want to change for discussion, that would be fine. Commissioner McCray suggested keep this as before, we will all need to agree as before. We act as a body; he was not in favor as how this got on the agenda. Commissioner Casello stated he thought that anyone which sits on the dais should have the opportunity to place any item on Future Agenda. He does not think there needed to be a consensus to be placed on a Future Agenda item. Mayor Grant responded this was for new business. Commissioner Casello noted it was his understanding everything needed to place on the Future Agenda before it was placed on New Business. Mayor Grant noted if the Commission wanted to have a discussion on an item it can be placed on the agenda under New Business. Commissioner Casello said it does not need to go on Future Agenda Item. 21 Meeting Minutes City Commission Boynton Beach, Florida September 6, 2018 Commissioner Katz recommended based on what he thought, and past practices, he does not think anyone has been rejected to place anything on the agenda. The New Business when discussed might lead to an action. If anyone feels for or against, everyone was accommodating, as long as it was asked for at a previous meeting, and the Commissioner can specifically say what would be discussed. If it was on the Future Agenda, staff could bring it forward. He does not see refusing to discuss an item, even if he intended to oppose the item. Vice Mayor Romelus inquired if there was an agenda item regarding the policy of how agenda items were to be added to the agenda. Asked if this item was removed? Ms. LaVerriere responded the Commission had this discussion at the last Commission meeting. Although a written policy does not exist, past practices has been established. If a Commissioner desires to bring an item before the City Commission for discussion or consideration, said Commissioner should raise the matter at a City Commission meeting and request the topic be placed on the next agenda or on the Future Agenda. Typically, if there was a consensus by the Commission to place the matter before the Commission at a future date or on the next agenda. Commissioner Katz inquired about the potential appointment for the future vacated seat in District 4, would that be on the next meeting. Attorney Cherof replied it will be on the Future Agenda. Commissioner Katz asked could it be placed by consent on New Business for the next meeting. Attorney Cherof clarified this would be to discuss the procedures which will be followed. The procedure was already set forth in the Charter/Code. When the vacancy occurs, it is announced there was a vacancy. After that the Commission has the opportunity to appoint someone to fill that vacancy. The only piece missing was if the Commission was seeking individuals interested in the appointment. The process was already described in the Code. Commissioner Katz stated since we know that seat will be vacated, it would not be a bad thing to be prepared to have a list of potential applicants, since the Commission was aware there will be a vacancy. Commissioner Casello's date for resignation was set in stone. He stated he would not be opposed to engaging the public at least informing the public that there will be a vacancy in District 4. Attorney Cherof stated the next agenda would have under New Business a discussion and action regarding the process for announcing a future vacancy. Commissioner Casello asked the seat which was being vacated, the individual has no say in the process of the replacement process. 22 Meeting Minutes City Commission Boynton Beach, Florida September 6, 2018 Attorney Cherof stated the Commissioner would no longer be on the board. There was a consensus. 12. Legal A. PROPOSED ORDINANCE NO. 18-022 - FIRST READING - Approve amending City Code of Ordinances Section 16-22 so that park rangers to have the same authority as the director and any park attendant to eject from the park or beach any person acting in violation of this article. Attorney Cherof read Proposed Ordinance No. 18-022 by title only on first reading. Motion Commissioner McCray moved to approve with discussion. Commissioner Casello seconded the motion. Commissioner McCray noted he did not like the word ejected, he believes the word remove was better. Attorney Cherof stated if the Commission agrees in the amendment It will appear at the second reading Vice Mayor Romelus suggested having racial bias training with those City employees who has the authority to eject or remove patrons from the park or other locations. Ms. LaVerriere explained the City does not provide this type of training to staff, since no one has that authority to remove or eject patrons form City Facilities other than the police. Ms. LaVerriere explained Mr. Majors and the Police Department has that authority. Vice Mayor Romelus suggested training needed to be made available to those employees which will be given the authority. The training was needed to understand what constitutes the behavior which may cause the removal or rejection from the park or location. Ms. LaVerriere stated training was absolutely needed, and it was imperative to provide that training. Continued to say racial bias training for employees that have the authority or the power to remove patrons from City facilities must have this training. Ms. LaVerriere stated at the present time she did not believe the employees have the ability to remove/eject patrons from City facilities. The Police officers have the authority to remove and had racial bias training. This was something the City would absolutely need to provide the Park Rangers. 23 Meeting Minutes City Commission Boynton Beach, Florida Amended Motion September 6, 2018 Commissioner McCray moved to amend his previous motion with the intent that the City would use Racial Bias Training and with the consent of this Commission, will get rid of the word reject and replace with the word remove. Mayor Grant had a question with the term remove. The Park Ranger can only ask them to leave. They cannot physically remove them. In order to physically remove the individual, the Police must be notified, if the incident took place as on the beach, the Park Ranger would need to contact Ocean Ridge Police Department. Mayor Grant stated only the Park Ranger has the authority to call the local authority to have someone removed. Attorney Cherof suggested, initiate the removal of the individual. Commissioner McCray noted he was in agreement with the, initiating the removal of the individual and the Racial Bias Training. Mayor Grant provided an example of a flight attendant has the authority of removal of a passenger, but not the physically authority to remove. Mayor Grant indicated there was an amended motion to pass as amended Commissioner Casello moved to approve, seconded by Commissioner Katz.

Attorney Cherof read Proposed Ordinance No. 18-021 by title only on second reading. Motion Commissioner Casello moved to approve. Commissioner Katz seconded the motion. Commissioner McCray had a question. 25 Meeting Minutes City Commission Boynton Beach, Florida September 6, 2018 Commissioner McCray noted Mr. Suss came before the Commission regarding increasing the millage rate to be increased to 8%. He was not in favor of raising the millage rate. Commissioner McCray when requesting residents which live in District 2 to pay an additional $1 per month, the residents were concerned about the regularity of picking up trash. He stated lately the job being done was excellent. He does not want staff to become lax when this resolution passes. Also, there was a lot of vacant properties and a lot of illegal dumping. It makes District 2 look bad as well at the rest of Boynton Beach. Commissioner Katz clarified if the trash was on the street or the sidewalk, the City has the authority to pick up the trash, but if it was on private property the City cannot legally enter the property. Mr. Groff responded this would have a different process, if it is an illegal dumping on private property, the private property owner was notified. If the private owner does not remove the trash, then the City could move forward and remove the trash. Commissioner McCray wanted to clarify he was speaking about illegal dumping onto private property. The process takes time. The City must look at the eyesore, while the City was waiting to resolve the issue, more trash was collected onto the vacant lot. The private property owner is notified and they may not be aware there is illegal dumping on their property. Commissioner McCray explained District 2 has more vacant than any other district in Boynton Beach. Asked what can be done to alleviate illegal dumping? Mayor Grant stated it was a crime to dump trash. Indicated a solution would be for the residents to get the license plate number. It was a property crime. No one was really getting hurt, so it was not a high level crime for Police. The Chief need to know this was a concern in District 2. Commissioner McCray asked about the license plate readers, if they were in place at this time. Mayor Grant stated he does not have confirmation. Commissioner McCray stated he understood, if there were license plate readers in place, it may be of help to reduce the amount of illegal dumping. He wanted to know if the license plat readers are in place. It was either a yes or no. He has requested clarification, what about all the other things regarding illegal dumping. Ms. LaVerriere responded the license plate reader are being installed by ATS, she does not believe they are in yet. She believed there will be 15 readers. Police Chief Gregory stated the license plate readers have not been installed as of yet. Commissioner Katz suggested the residents report the illegal dumping to the police, if they have home surveillance cameras and report. The license plate readers will be at main intersection; they will not be in residential areas. If the residents see anything, they should report it. Police officers are not monitoring for illegal dumping. 26 Meeting Minutes City Commission Boynton Beach, Florida Mayor Grant asked if there were any additional questions. City Clerk Pyle called the roll Vote 5-0 September 6, 2018 G. Approved an addendum to the agreement with Palm Beach County School District, for Security services for City of Boynton Beach Police Officers would provide security and details at the School.

This addendum binds the City to an already existing State Statute and Federal Regulations regarding maintaining the confidentiality of student records which may come into their possession. Since the addendum was not attached to the approvals, Counsel was requesting the approval of the addendum. Motion Commissioner Katz moved to approve. Commissioner McCray seconded the motion.
