PRAY AND CAN GET A PRAYER THROUGH, IN TIMES LIKE THESE, I NEED BLOOD COVERING. I NEED BLOOD COVERING ME BEFORE I PUT ONE FOOT FROM HERE UP THERE. IT'S NO MORE TIME TO BE PLAYING.
IT'S TOO MUCH HAPPENING. IT'S HAPPENING LEFT AND RIGHT. I'M JUST SAYING THINGS THAT WE THOUGHT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN IS HAPPENING. THEY SAID ABOUT WARS AND RUMORS OF WARS.

OFFICE, THEY SAID IT'S EITHER COMMISSIONER McCRAY OR COMMISSIONER HAY. THAT'S BECAUSE NOBODY ELSE SEEMS LIKE THEY WANT TO DO IT. WE WAS UPSTAIRS TONIGHT AND WE HAD A GATHERING. AND I REALLY APPRECIATED THE GATHERING. BUT I ALREADY TOLD THEM I WANT
TO KNOW WHERE DID THE MONEY COME FROM. I'M WATCHING EVERY PENNY. WE DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY TO WASTE. [APPLAUSE] I LIKE TO SAY YOU UNIFIED MEN AND WOMEN IN BOYNTON, WE HAVE A FANTASTIC FORCE. I KNOW SOMETIMES WE SAY THAT YOU

DISTRICT 2 BECAUSE OF THE STREETS. THAT'S GOING TO CHANGE BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO WORK TOGETHER. I'M HERE TO TELL YOU THAT IF IT'S NOT BROKEN, YOU DON'T NEED TO FIX IT. THAT WASN'T BROKEN BUT YOU ALL
TRIED TO FIX IT. I'D LIKE TO SAY TO THE BOYNTON CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, MY FRIEND RIGHT THERE RICK, WHEN I RAN FOR OFFICE, HE CAME BEHIND ME AND SAID I'M GOING TO RUN FOR OFFICE. HE DID NOT WIN, BUT HE TRIED. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO ALWAYS WIN.
BUT DON'T EVER STOP FIGHTING. IF YOU BELIEVE IN SOMETHING, CONTINUE TO FIGHT, FIGHT, AND FIGHT. AS I SIT THERE TONIGHT AND LISTEN AT THEM READ A PROCLAMATION FROM SAINT PAUL

>> MAYOR: TAMMY'S GOT IT.
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATION]
[APPLAUSE]
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] >> MAYOR: COMMISSIONER KELLEY, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING THAT YOU WOULD LIKE FOR INFORMATIONAL ITEMS? >> THANK YOU, MAYOR. THE ONLY THING THAT YOU MENTIONED TODAY, WE HAD A PRETTY CRITICAL INCIDENT. AND I JUST REALLY WANTED TO
ACKNOWLEDGE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. YOU KNOW, THEY TRAIN AND TRAIN AND TRAIN. AND YOU NEVER EXPECT OR PLAN FOR THESE EMERGENCIES TO HAPPY. HAPPEN. THAT'S WHY THEY DO ALL THE TRAINING AND IT'S SO IMPORTANT
THAT WHEN THINGS LIKE THIS HAPPEN, THAT THEY ARE THERE WITHIN MINUTES AND ARE ABLE TO ACT AND KNOW WHAT TO DO. I JUST WANTED TO THANK THEM AND ALSO KEEP THE FAMILIES IN OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS THAT ARE STRUGGLING WITH THIS TRAGEDY, ALSO. SO THANK YOU.
>> MAYOR: COMMISSIONER TURKIN. >> THANK YOU, MAYOR. I'LL KEEP THIS VERY BRIEF. EVERYONE HAS BEEN SUPER PATIENT. BUT I JUST WANT TO CONGRATULATE COMMISSIONER McCRAY AND COMMISSIONER KELLEY ON THEIR UNCONTESTED I GUESS NOT
ELECTIONS, BUT, YOU KNOW, CEREMONIES. IT SPEAKS VOLUME WHEN THE COMMUNITY TRUSTS YOU. AND I LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE AND HISTORY THAT YOU HAVE WITH THE CITY AND I TRUST AND AM CONFIDENT THAT YOU WILL CONTINUE
TO SHARE THIS CULTURE THAT WE HAVE ESTABLISHED OF PUTTING RESIDENTS FIRST AND REALLY EMBODYING THAT SERVANT LEADERSHIP THAT THIS BODY HAS DONE. COMMISSIONER KELLEY, IT'S BEEN AN HONOR TO SERVE WITH YOU AND YOUR RESIDENTS, THEY LOVE YOU. YOU SERVE THEM WHOLEHEARTEDLY.
AND, YOU KNOW, I THINK WHAT'S EVEN MORE TELLING IS THAT AS GOOD A COMMISSIONER YOU ARE, YOU ARE A BETTER WIFE AND BETTER MOM. AND THAT'S ONE THING THAT I REALLY THINK IS THE MOST IMPORTANT BECAUSE TITLES, THEY COME AND GO, BUT I THINK THE MOST IMPORTANT IS, YOU KNOW,
BEING CALLED A PARENT OR BEING CALLED A PARTNER. AND SO YOU SHOULD BE PROUD OF THAT. AND I THINK THAT REFLECTS IN HOW YOU GOVERN AND HOW YOU LEAD. ALL RIGHT. SAVED THE BEST FOR LAST. COMMISSIONER HAY, SO, YOU KNOW, I JUST WANT TO ECHO -- I
MENTIONED THIS A COUPLE OF TIMES ALREADY, YOU KNOW. WE DON'T ALWAYS ALIGN POLITICALLY, BUT I THINK AGAIN WE HAVE HAD CONVERSATIONS AND RELATIONSHIP BUILDING OFF THE DAIS MORE THAN I THINK WE HAVE HAD ON THE DAIS. AND ONE THING THAT AGAIN I'LL
SAY PUBLICLY IS THE THING THAT I ADMIRE ABOUT YOU THE MOST AND THAT HAS MADE AN IMPACT ON MY LIFE AS A MAN IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST AS WELL AS YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR WIFE. FOR ME, THOSE ARE IMPORTANT
PRINCIPLES THAT I STRIVE TO BE AND YOU HAVE SET THE TONE FOR THAT. AND IT'S GOOD TO SEE THAT THERE IS STILL COMPANIONSHIP, MARRIAGES, VOWS THAT CONTINUE. AND TO SEE 60 YEARS IS A RARE COMMODITY IN THIS DAY AND AGE.
YOU DON'T SEE THAT. [APPLAUSE] SO I HOPE YOU ACHIEVE THAT SAME SUCCESS. AND AGAIN, COMMISSIONER IS GREAT, REVEREND IS GREAT. BUT BEING ABLE TO SERVE OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST BY SERVING YOUR FAMILY AND THE COMMUNITY IS THE GREATEST
ACCOMPLISHMENT OF ALL. >> AMEN! >> AMEN! [APPLAUSE] >> THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR SERVICE AND IT'S NOT GOOD-BYE. IT'S SEE YA LATER. FOR THOSE THAT DON'T KNOW, COMMISSIONER HAY WILL BE BACK AS THE POLICE CHAPLAIN FOR THE CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH. SO WE'LL BE SEEING HIM AROUND.
AND THANK YOU AGAIN. [APPLAUSE] ALL RIGHT. NOW THE CITY BUSINESS. >> MAYOR: ARE YOU DONE? >> I'VE GOT A COUPLE OF THINGS. >> MAYOR: GO AHEAD. >> I JUST WANT TO SAY -- I'VE GOT A COUPLE OF SHOUT-OUTS TO GIVE THE BOOTS AND BARBECUE FIRST FRIDAY WAS HUGE. PROBABLY THE BIGGEST, THE GREATEST FIRST FRIDAY WE HAVE
EVER SEEN. IT WAS A HUGE TURNOUT. SO THANK YOU, GUYS, SO MUCH FOR DOING THAT. I WANT TO THANK UTILITIES, POONAM, I WANT TO THANK WILL AND KEVIN FOR THOSE PROMPT RESPONSES
TO THE RESIDENTS IN CHAPEL HILL WITH THE SPEED BUMPS, THE PAVING AND THEN ALSO THE WATER BREAK THAT WE HAD. AND THEN I WANT TO REALLY THANK
AND RECOGNIZE CHIEF DI JULIO FOR THE ISSUES IN FOREST PARK. I HAVE SEEN A PLETHORA INCREASE IN PATROL AND ADMINISTRATION CHANGES. IT MEANS A LOT JUST FOR ME BUT
TO THE FATHER THAT CAME UP HERE WITH HIS YOUNG CHILD TO SEE ACTION IS BEING TAKEN PEOPLE CRY OUT FOR HELP. SO, I ADMIRE AND I APPRECIATE THAT. THEN, I ALSO WANT TO THANK ALL OF THE RESIDENTS WHO CAME OUT AND VOTED FOR OUR REFERENDUMS.
ONE OF THE ONES THAT I THINK WAS CRUCIAL, IMPORTANT FOR FAIR REPRESENTATION IN THE CITY WAS THE TWO-YEAR RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT TO MAKE SURE WE DON'T HAVE PEOPLE HOPPING AROUND AND TRYING TO SERVE THIS CITY TO BUILD THEIR POLITICAL BRAND OR
THEIR POLITICAL CAREER. THAT'S A TESTAMENT OF WHAT THE RESIDENTS WANT, WHAT THEY CARE ABOUT, AND WHAT WE THINK IS THE
RIGHT FIT FOR BOYNTON BEACH. >> I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET AN IDEA ON WHAT OAFS IS GOOD EVENING TO LOOK LIKE. THEY'RE
EXPANDING THE >> WE'RE OFFERING A WAY TO GET TO THE EVENT. WE'RE GOING TO SHULT THIS TIME AROUND. WE DIDN'T HAVE TO DO THAT IN THE
PAST BECAUSE IT WAS RIGHT THERE AT CENTENNIAL PARK. THIS YEAR WITH A LARGE GROUP OF PEOPLE COMING TO HESTON CENTER. SO, WE'RE GOING TO USE THE GRAVEL LOT BASELINE THE ARTS AND CULTURAL PO PEOPLE IN NEED OF
GETTING OVER THERE. A HUGE THANK YOU GOES OUT TO OUR SUPPORTING SPONSO AVA CENTERS OF FLORIDA AND THEY'VE BEEN
POSSIBLE OF MAKING THIS EVENT POSSIBLE. AGAIN, APRIL 4TH, LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING EVERYBODY. THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE]

AGAIN NEXT FEBRUARY. WE HOPE Y'ALL CAN ATTEND. AT THIS TIME, I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE LITTLE WOLF CARPENTRY. I HAVE SOME PLAQUES, MAYOR, IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND COMING DOWN, AND I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE THEM THE PLAQUES.
[APPLAUSE] [APPLAUSE] AND THIS YEAR, THEY CREATED A
SPECIAL FANTASY CREATION FOR MASON, AND IT WAS A HOT AIR BALLOON. SO, EACH YEAR IT'S A SURPRISE. WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S GOING TO BE UNTIL THE EVENT. THEY HAVE DONE THIS FOR THE PAST SEVEN YEARS. MANY AMAZING GREAT CREATIONS. ALWAYS
BETTER AND BETTER EACH YEAR. ROSA LYNN WOULD LIKE TO SAY A FEW WORDS FROM HER PERSPECTIVE. >> SO, FIRST, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK EVERYONE WHO HELPED MY DAD, JEFF, BETTER KNOWN AS
LITTLE WOLF, AND NATHAN, HIS LIKE BEST FRIEND. WE'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR SEVEN YEARS NOW AND IT'S JUST LIKE AMAZING TO SEE THE KIDS EXPRESSION WHEN WE

[APPLAUSE] >> THANK YOU, VERY MUCH.

BUSINESSES. WE ARE ACTUALLY GIVING THE BUSINESSES UP TO $25,000. TO STRENGTHEN THEIR OPERATIONS. IT CAN GO TOWARDS RENT, TOWARDS INVENTORY, AND
EVEN MINOR THINGS TO DO INSIDE THEIR BYESES. SO, PLEASE HELP US TO STRENGTHEN TO THEIR BUSINESSES AND SPREAD THE WORD. THIS GRANT IS ALSO ONLY FOR BUSINESS OWNERS THAT ARE LOW TO
MODERATE INCOME OR THAT THEIR BUSINESSES ARE LOCATED MAJOR LEAGUE LOW TO MODERATE INCOME AREAS. I WANT THEM TO KNOW THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, IT'S AVAILABLE TO HAVE HOURS FOR THEM TO HELP THEM WITH THE APPLICATION, JUST TO
MAKE SURE THAT THEIR APPLICATION IS SUCCESSFUL. SO, IT'S GOING TO BE OPEN UNTIL WE ALLOCATE ALL OF THE FUNDS. WE HAVE $95,000 FOR BLISSES HERE IN BOYNTON BEACH. I HAVE FLYERS IN THE BACK, SO IF YOU KNOW OF SOMEBODY
THAT IS LOW TO MODERATE INCOME BUSINESS OWNER OR A LOW A BUSINESS LOCATED IN A LOW TO MODERATE INCOME AREA, PLEASE LET THEM KNOW THAT THIS GRANT IS AVAILABLE. LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING. WE ARE THE ONLY CIT?
PALM BEACH COUNTY, THAT IS GIVING THIS TYPE OF MONEY TO THE SMALL BUSINESSES IN THE CITY. THE ONLY, THE ONLY CITY IN THE WHOLE COUNTY. THE SECOND PROGRAM, IT'S THE WORLD FIRST TRAINING PROGRAM
THAT I CALL EDGE, WHICH IS ALSO STARTING TOMORROW, BUT WE STILL HAVE I THINK LIKE THREE SEATS. AND THANK YOU TO PALM BEACH -- TO, I'M SORRY, BAPTIST HEALTH. THEY DONATED LAP S LAPTOPS FOR E
RESIDENTS THAT WANTS TO JOIN THIS TRAINING THAT IT'S FOR FREE, AND THEY'RE UNEMPLOYED OR UNDER EMPLOYED, THEY CAN GET FREE LAPTOPS TO USE DURING THE WHOLE TRAINING. IT'S A 20-HOUR TRAINING. IT'S PROVIDED BY PALM BEACH STATE COLLEGE. THEY ARE GOING TO GET A

TRAININGS AND ALSO GRANTS FOR BUSINESSES BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT WE DO. WE LOVE TO STRENGTHEN OUR COMMUNITY. THANK YOU.
[APPLAUSE] OKAY, WE ARE NOW MOVING ON TO PUBLIC AUDIENCE. AS ALWAYS, IT IS THREE MINUTES PER PERSON, IT'S NON-TRANSFERABLE AND THIS IS NOT A Q&A. SAME RULES ALWAYS APPLY.
THE SPEAKER MUST ADDRESS THE MAYOR AND NOT TO THE MEMBERS. SHOULD YOU VITAL THESE RULES, AFTER WE'VE CONCLUDED THIS IN PERSON, WE'LL GO TO THOSE ONLINE. IF ANYBODY WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK, PLEASE COME DOWN TO
THE PODIUM AND START TO LINEUP ON BOTH SIDES SO WE CAN KEEP THINGS MOVING ALONG. >> MR. MAYOR. EXCUSE ME. BEFORE WE START PUBLIC AUDIENCE, I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE THIS OBSERVATION AND I HOPE THE REST OF YOU ALL WILL JOIN IN. MY
CONCERN IS, IS IF A C CITIZEN HS A COMPLAINT OR A CONCERN, AND ONE OF THE EMPLOYEES OF THE CITY ADDRESSES THEM OF THE COMPLAINT OR CONCERN, I THINK SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE IN WRITING SO WE DON'T HAVE TO LISTEN TO THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN
BECAUSE I'M GOING TO WANT TO KNOW WHY THIS WASN'T TAKEN CARE OF AND THEY HAVE TO KEEP SAYING THE SAME THING. IT'S CALLED HOLDING PEOPLE ACCOUNTABLE AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO START DOING. THANK YOU.
>> SUSAN A BOYER, BOYNTON BEAC. FIRST OF ALL, CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE, COMMISSIONER -- FORMER COMMISSIONER VICE-MAYOR HAY, CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU.
MRS. HAY BECAUSE YOU DID THE SERVICE AS WELL. CONGRATULATIONS COMMISSIONER MCCRAY, COMMISSIONER KELLEY, AND COMMISSIONER TURKIN, CONGRATULATIONS ON THE WEDDING. I'M HERE TO ASK YOU TO VOTE NO ON 8K, ORDINANCE 26 #-0116789
I'M ASKING YOU GO INVESTIGATE THE BACK GROUPED OF WHY YOU WOULD WANT TO GET RID OF YOUR HISTORIC RESOURCES AND GET RID OF YOU'RE HISTORICALLY DESIGNATED BUILDING AND THE ENTIRE ORDINANCE, I THINK YOU'RE MAKING A HUGE MISTAKE AND YES,
I'VE PUT IN TO GO BACK ON HISTORIC RESOURCES PRESERVATION BOARD, AND I DON'T KNOW WHO HAS THE APPOINTMENT, BUT I'VE APPLIED. I'VE BEEN ON AND OFF FOR YEARS NOW. I WANT TO SAY PLEASE INVESTIGATE WHY THE CITY EMPLOYEE WHO IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE LIAISON
BETWEEN THAT BOARD AND THE CITY IS NOT FOLLOWING THROUGH ON HER DIRECTED DUTIES BY THE BOARD. THE BOARD MAKES A VOTE, THEY SAY WE WANT THIS DONE, THAT PERSON THEN DOES NOT DO THAT. TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE, YOU STILL HAVE AN INTERNAL AFFAIRS OFFICE, UNLESS THAT'S OUT OF THE
BUDGET. MAYBE YOU SHOULD PUT INTERNAL AFFAIRS LOOKING AT THIS. GO BACK AND LOOK AT THE MINUTES. WHAT I'VE PASSED IS THE MINUTES FROM AUGUST 7, 2023. THERE'S MULTIPLE OTHER MINUTES WITH EXAMPLES. THIS ONE WAS LIKE 40 PAGES, SO I ONLY MADE A COUPLE OF COPIES. SORRY.
I'VE HIGHLIGHTED THE AREAS WHERE YOU CAN SEE WHERE THOSE THINGS NEVER HAPPEN. THIS PERSON'S JOB IS TO PROTECT HISTORIC BUILDINGS, SO WHY IS THIS PERSON WORKING TO GET RID OF THEM? PLEASE INVESTIGATE WHY SHE SAYS SHE'LL DO WHAT BOARD DIRECTS HER TO DO, THEN DOESN'T DO IT.
THIS PERSON THEN GOES -- PLEASE INVESTIGATE WHY THE COMMISSION WAS TOLD, FOR EXAMPLE, THAT IT WOULD COST $19,000 TO DO THE STUDY ON THESE BUILDINGS TO SAVE THESE BUILDINGS, BUT YET THE MOST INTENS SIEVE ONE HAD
ALREADY BEEN DONE AND SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN PART OF THAT BUDGET AND THAT'S IN THIS HUGE PACKET THAT I'VE PASSED AROUND. SO, THAT IS MISLEADING YOU, THAT PERSON, AND THEN THAT'S IMPACTING YOUR DECISIONS AND YOUR VOTES AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO GO AND INVESTIGATE WHAT'S
GOING ON THERE AND PROTECT THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION, PROTECT OUR HISTORIC BUILDINGS. PEOPLE CARE AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, WHEN THIS STARTS COMING OUT WITH OTHER BUSINESSES, OTHER CITIES THAT MIGHT WANT TO DO BUSINESS, YOU'LL SOON FIND OUT EVERYONE CARES ABOUT HISTORIC PRESERVATION.
SO, LET'S DO OUR PART. WE HAVE VERY LITTLE LEFT. LET'S KEEP WHAT WE HAVE. THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE] >> GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE.

WORK, RATHER, SHE WAS BORN AND RAISED IN THIS CITY. HER FIRST 9-1-1 CALL CAME 28 YEARS AGO. MS. LEWIS STARTED ON THE FRONT LINES, BUT SHE DOESN'T STAY THERE. MS. LEWIS UPWARD TRAJECTORY
ALLOWED HER TO BECOME A SUPERVISOR IN 2010, A MANAGER IN 2023, AND IN 2024, SHE DIDN'T JUST BREAK A GLASS CEILING, SHE SIMPLY SHATTERED IT BY BECOMING THE FIRST BLACK WOMAN FROM THE CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH TO SERVE
AS DIVISION DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC SERVICE -- PUBLIC SAFETY. SO, MS. LEWIS, ON BEHALF OF THE RESIDENTS, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AND SACRIFICE, THANK YOU FOR YOUR LABOR, YOUR LOVE AND YOUR LOYALTY TO THE GREAT PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE PRIVILEGE AND PLEASURE OF CALLING BOYNTON

>> I CAN'T F FOLLOW THAT. HARRY WOOLWORTH, BOYNTON BEACH. THANK WOODROW FOR ALL OF HIS SERVICE AND PROBABLY WHAT IS THE MOST THANKLESS JOB IN THE WORLD, PUBLIC SERVICE ANYMORE. THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THE STUFF YOU'VE DONE. WELCOME BACK, COMMISSIONER
KELLEY, COMMISSIONER MCCRAY, LOOKING FOARLD TO WORKING WITH YOU GUYS. CONGRATULATIONS ON GETTING MARRIED. DIDN'T KNOW. JUST KIND OF WANTED TO SAY ONE THING. YOU HAVE AN ITEM ON YOUR CONSENT AGENDA, ITEM G, HAVEN'T SPOKEN HERE IN A COUPLE OF YEARS, BUT THIS ONE WAS IMPORTANT.
FIRST OFF, IT'S OVER $7 MILLION AND IT'S ON A CONSENT AGENDA. THAT ALWAYS PERKS MY INTEREST. THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY AND HOW DOES THE PUBLIC EVER KNOW WHAT THAT IS WITHOUT ANY DISCUSSION. I KNOW WHAT IT IS. I THINK MOST OF YOU KNOW MY
BACKGROUNDS. TECH ELE ELECTRONICS FOR TWO FOE 500 COMPANIES. WHAT YOU'RE BUYING IS ONE OF THE MOST SOPHISTICATED SURVEILLANCE SYSTEMS ON EARTH T LISTENS TO EVERYTHING YOU SAY, WHAT THE
COMMUNITY SAYS. IT LISTENS TO GUNSHOTS, WHICH IS GOOD, A LOT OF SYSTEMS DOES THAT. IT PHOTOGRAPHS EVERYTHING. I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THAT. I'VE LOVED THE TECHNOLOGY, DESIGNED IT AND IMPLEMENTED IT AROUND THE WORLD, AND I DID IT IN THE SERVICE. WE HAVE SOMETHING IN THE CONSTITUTION CALLED THE FOURTH
AMENDMENT THAT HAS CONTROLS ON THIS KINDS OF STUFF. THESE SYSTEMS GO INTO A DATABASE EVERY PLACE, EVERY CITIZENS DRIVES BYES ONE OF THESE CAMERAS GOES INTO A DATABASE WHICH IS THERE IN PERPETUITY. THE VENDOR HOLDS IT FOR 30 DAYS,
SO HE SAYS. I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT. I ALSO DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT BEING PHOTOGRAPHED. I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT BEING RECORDED. I HAVE A PROBLEM THAT ANYBODY AND HIS UNCLE CAN ACCESS. THIS THERE'S NO CONTROLS ON THIS THAT WORKS.
PEOPLE HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED LOOKING UP THEIR GIRLFRIENDS, THEIR EX-S, POLITICAL GOVERNMENTS, WHATEVER. THIS IS A DOCUMENT. AT LEAST EXPLAIN TO THE PUBLIC WHAT THIS IS SO WE KNOW WHAT WE'RE GETTING. THIS STUFF IS ALREADY -- 30 CITIES HAS ALREADY PULLED IT
OUT. IT WILL END UP IN THE SUPREME COURT FOR A FACT. IT'S ALREADY IN THE VIRGINIA APPELLATE COURTS. THIS HAS GOT TO HAVE SOME CONTROLS. YOU'RE SETTING UP SOMETHING HERE WHERE EVERYBODY CAN ENTER THE LICENSE PLATE. A BUMP ON THE RIGHT CORNER,
YOU'LL KNOW WHERE THAT CAR HAS BEEN IN PERPETUITY. YOU'RE BEING TRACKED DAY AND NIGHT, 24/#, AND YOU SHOULD AT LEAST BE HAVING A PUBLIC DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS DISUF. I'VE DESIGNED THIS STUFF, I'VE WORKED WITH THIS STUFF, I IMPLEMENT THIS STUFF. I'M A TECHIE, I LOVE THIS STUFF.
WHAT ITCH A PROBLEM WITH IS THERE'S NO CONTROLS. THERE'S NO CONTROLS BEING DISCUSSED. THE PUBLIC DOESN'T HAVE A CLUE WHAT THIS IS. I'LL GIVE YOU ONE EXAMPLE. PART OF THIS SYSTEM ACTUATES GUNSHOTS. YOU CAN HEAR IT. ANOTHER VENDOR -- I'M SORRY.
CAN I FINISH? OKAY. ASK YOURSELF WHEN YOU'RE BUYING THIS, HAVE THERE BEEN ANY ARRESTS FOR GUN VIOLENCE ON A DISPATCH CALLED BY THE SHOTS SPOTTER SYSTEM. I'M USING THE WRONG NAME, BUT THIS VENDOR MAKES THE SAME THING.
HAVE THERE BEEN ANY GUNS CONFISCATED? DOES CRIME IN THE AREA MAKE THIS BETTER OR WORSE FOR GUN CRIME? I GUARANTEE YOU WON'T FIND THE ANSWERS TO MOST OF THAT BECAUSE IN ALMOST 30 # 120 YEARS, THERE'S ALMOST NO PEER ACADEMIC REVIEWED STUDIES ON IT AND THE
ONES THAT HAVE SHOWS IT IT'S NO GOOD. THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE] >> GOOD EVENING, EVERYBODY. MY NAME IS RAY WHITELY AND IT'S ALWAYS AN HONOR TO BE HERE N IS ONE OF THOSE RARE MOMENTS WHERE WE GET AN OPPORTUNITY TO HONOR THE PAST AND RECOGNIZE THE
PRESENT, AND STEP INTO THE FUTURE WITH INTENTION. THIS IS A MOMENT TONIGHT. FIRST, COMMISSIONER WOODROW HAY, LEADERSHIP IS NOT MEASURED BY HOW LONG YOU HOLD A SEAT, BUT HOW DEEPLY YOU IMPACT THE
PEOPLE. YOUR IMPACT IS U UNDENIABLE. YOU STOOD IN THE GAPS. HE SHOWED UP WHEN IT MATTERED. YOU HELPED TO CARRY THE CITY THROUGH IMPORTANT SEASONS. BECAUSE OF THAT, BOYNTON BEACH IS A BETTER PLACE.
ON BEHALF OF GRATEFUL COMMUNITIES, THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SACRIFICE. THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING THE CALL. YOUR WORK WILL KEEP SPEAKING FOR YOU. NOW, COMMISSIONER MACK MCCRAY. TODAY WAS NOT JUST A SWEARING
IN. IT'S A RESPONSIBILITY. THIS ROLE REQUIRES SERVICE, CONSISTENCY AND CONNECTION. THE PEOPLE OF DISTRICT TWO ARE NOT ASKING FOR PERFECTION. THEY'RE ASKING FOR PRESENCE. THEY WANT TO BE HEARD. THEY WANT TO BE SEEN. THEY WANT TO KNOW THAT THEY MATTER. AND AS YOU TOOK THIS OATH,
REMEMBER THIS. LEADERSHIP IS NOT ABOUT THE TITLE. IT'S ABOUT TRUST. PROTECT IT. , BUILD IT, AND EARN IT EVERY DAY. WE ARE PRAYING WITH YOU, EXPECTING FROM YOU, AND READY TO WORK WITH YOU.
AND FINALLY, MS. MONIQUE LEWIS, 20828 YEARS IS NOT JUST A CAREER. IT'S A LEGACY. PASTOR DANES HAS ALREADY CHRONICLED EVERYTHING THAT YOU'VE DONE IN THIS CITY. YOU SERVED WITH HONOR, INTEGRITY AND
COMMITMENT THROUGH LONG NIGHTS, HARD MOMENTS, YOU STAYED THE COURSE. YOU KEPT THE FATE AND THAT MATTERED. SO, TONIGHT WE SAY THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR STRENGTH. THANK YOU FOR THE LEGACY YOU LEAVE BEHIND. COMMISSIONER HAY AND MS. LEWIS,
YOU REMIND US WHAT PUBLIC SERVICE SHOULD LOOK LIKE. COMMITMENT, CONSISTENCY, CONNECTED TO PEOPLE. NOW, HERE'S THE CHARGE FOR ALL OF US. LEADERSHIP DOES NOT SIT ON A STAGE. IT LIVES IN A CITY. IT SHOWS UP IN HOW WE TREAT EACH
OTHER. IT SHOWS UP WHETHER WE STAY ENGAGED OR STAY SILENT. THE FUTURE OF BOYNTON WILL NOT BE DECIDED BY ONE PERSON. IT'S SHAPED BY ALL OF US. THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU.
NEXT, PLEASE. >> I'M HERE TONIGHT TO SPEAK NOT JUST FOR MYSELF, BUT TO REMIND EVERYONE AMERICAN IN THIS ROOM OF SOMETHING WE MUST NEVER EVER FORGET. OUR RIGHTS DO NOT COME FROM THE GOVERNMENT. OUR RIGHTS COME FROM GOD
ALMIGHTY. THE CONSTITUTION WAS NOT WRITTEN TO GIVE US RIGHTS. IT WAS WRITTEN TO PROTECT THE RIGHTS WERE WE'RE ALREADY GIVEN AND PLACE LIMITS ON GOVERNMENT SO THAT THOSE RIGHTS WOULD NOT BE TAKEN FROM US. THE FIRST AMENDMENT GUARANTEES THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH, THE FREEDOM OF RELIGIOUS, THE
FREEDOM TO ASYSTEM BEM, AND THE RIGHT TO READDRESS OUR GOVERNMENT. THESE ARE NOT PLEDGES. THIS ARE PROTECTED INHERENT RIGHTS. YET TODAY, WE ARE SEEING INCREASING OVERREACH. WE ARE SEEING CITIZENS SILENCED, RESTRICTED AND REGULATED IN WAYS
THAT THAT IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL. LET'S TALK ABOUT PRIVATE PROPERTY. IT MEANS JUST THAT. PRIVATE T MEANS THAT UNLESS A PERSON HAS VOLUNTARILY ENTERED INTO AN AGREEMENT SUCH AS A HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION, THE GOVERNMENT DOES NOT HAVE UNLIMITED AUTHORITY TO DISIK TATE HOW SOMEONE LIVES ON THEIR OWN PROPERTY.
WHEN PEOPLE ARE BEING SIDED OR HARASSED FOR SOMETHING SUCH AS HAVING PERSONAL ITEMS ON THEIR PORCH, WE HAVE TO ASK, WHERE DOES THIS AUTHORITY COME FROM? BECAUSE IT DOES NOT COME FROM THE CONSTITUTION. GOVERNMENT EXIST TO SERVE THE PEOPLE.
NOT TO CONTROL EVERY ASPECT OF THEIR LIVES. AND TONIGHT, I AM HERE TO REMIND THE PEOPLE. ARE YOU NOT POURLESS. YOU ARE NOT VOICELESS. YOU ARE THE AUTHORITY OF THE NATION. WE THE PEOPLE ARE THE FOUNDATION OF THIS GOVERNMENT, AND WHEN GOVERNMENT BEGINS TO STEP BEYOND
ITS CONSTITUTIONAL BOUNDARIES, IT'S NOT ONLY OUR RIGHT, BUT IT'S OUR DUTY AND OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO SPEAK UP, TO STAND UP, TO HOLD THAT GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABLE. THIS IS NOT ABOUT CONFLICT. THIS IS ABOUT RESTORING BALANCE. THIS IS ABOUT RETURNING TO THE PRINCE PELTS THAT MADE THIS COUNTRY FREE.
SO, I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE PERSON HERE, LEARN YOUR RIGHTS, KNOW THE CONSTITUTION, STANDS FOR THEM IN TRUTH. FREEDOM IS NOT SOMETHING WE PASSIVELY KEEP. IT'S SOMETHING WE DEFEND. NO BADGE, NO TITLE, NO OFFICE GIVES ANYONE TO TAKE YOUR
GOD-GIVEN RIGHTS. THOSE RIGHTS BELONG TO YOU AND IT'S YOUR SPONGESSIBILITIES TO STAND AND PROTECT THEM. THE CONSTITUTION IS STILL THE SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND AND EACH ONE OF YOU TOOK A OATH TO UPHOLD THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES AND OF FLORIDA, AND WHAT THAT GENTLEMAN JUST SAID, THOSE
DRONES LOOKS INTO PEOPLE'S PRIVATE PROPERTIES, THAT'S AGAINST THE CONSTITUTION. THAT'S ENCROACHING ON OUR LIBERTIES AND OUR FREEDOMS AND YOU CANNOT GO DO THAT I'M JUST PUTTING THAT OUT THERE. I THANK YOU AND I WANT TO CONGRATULATE TURKIN, I WANTS TO
CONGRATULATES, AIMEE, AND I WANTS TO C CONGRATULATE YOU MR. MCCRAY. WE NEED TO KNOW THE CONSTITUTION. IT WOULD BEHOOVE ALL ON THE DAIS AND EVERYONE IN THIS ROOM. THAT'S TO PROTECT THE OVERREACH OF GOVERNMENT.
THANK YOU. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE] >> MAYOR: NEXT, PLEASE. >> HI, MY NAME IS KATHLEEN HAWKINS. I AM A RESIDENT OF BOYNTON BEACH, BORN AND RAISED
HERE IN BOYNTON BEACH. FIRST OF ALL, I WOULD LIKE TO DITTO THE WORDS THAT WAS SAID BY PASTOR DANES AND PASTOR WHITELY ON TO HAY AND TO MCCRAY, BUT MOST OF ALL, I WANT TO THANK MY NIECE, MONIQUE. IT WAS ONE THING THAT WAS NOT
MENTIONED. THAT SHE SERVED ALSO IN THE ARMY. NOT ONLY DID SHE SERVE IN THE EARN, BUT SHE WAS FATEFUL IN WHAT SHE DID. THE 28 YEARS SHE HAS SERVED IN THE CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH, SHE
MISSED A LOT OF OUR FAMILY EVENTS BECAUSE SHE SERVED. SOMEDAYS SHE WENT, SHE WORKED NOT JUST 24 HOURS. SOMETIMES SHE WORKED THREE SHIFTS IN THE CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH. SO, MONIQUE, YOUR AUNT APPLAUSE
YOU. [APPLAUSE] >> MY NAME IS STACEY, I'M AN ADVISOR TO THE GREATER BOYNTON BEACH FOUNDATION. I'M HERE TO WELCOME OUR NEW
COMMISSIONERS AND TO SAY THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR AMAZING PARTNERSHIPS WITH US OVER THE COURSE OF SO MANY YEARS, AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO DEEPENING OUR RELATIONSHIP. ONE THING I WOULD LIKE TO NOTE IS THAT WE ARE VERY DEDICATED TO

OUR CHAPLAIN WITH THE POLICE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, EVERYONE. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU. NEXT, PLEASE. >> HI, I'M THERESA EVERETT, FORMER RETIRED POLICE SERGEANT FOR THE CITY OF BOYNTON.
GREAT PLACE TO WORK, TO START AND RETIRE. I'M HERE TO CONGRATULATE MONIQUE. WHEN I GOT THE CALL ABOUT HER LEAVING OR BEING RETIRED, I WAS SO EXCITED FOR HER. I WORKED AS MONIQUE'S SUPERVISOR
IN 2013 # IT STARTED IN THE COMMUNICATIONS CENTER AND SHE HAS KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM AND INTELLECT. I THINK THAT HER TIME IN THE SERVICE, IN THE MILITARY SERVICE, CARRIED HER ALONG. SHE
HAS STRUCTURE, KNOWS HOW TO RESEARCH AND FIND THINGS THAT NO ONE ELSE COULD. EACH AS HER SUPERVISOR, I LEARNED A LOT FROM HER. I LEARNED -- ONE STIEM OUR CENTER WAS UN-CERTIFIED. SHE FOUND OUT HOW TO RECERTIFYING US.
SHE GOT DISPATCH CERTIFIED. SHE HAS SO MUCH WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE, IN HER 28 YEARS OF SERVING THE CITY OF BOYNTON, YOU CAN'T ASK FOR ANYBODY GREATER, NOT EVEN MYSELF. I DID MY PART. SHE REALLY IS THE PERSON THAT
SCARIED THE CITY. THAT COMMUNICATIONS CENTER, WHEN YOU DIALED 9-1-1, MONIQUE WAS BEHIND THE SCENE, FINDING OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON AND SHE DID IT. SHE TAUGHT. SHE TRAINED. SHE WAS JUST AN OVERALL ATTRIBUTE TO THE CITY OF BOYNTON
IN THAT POSITION, AND I AM SO PROUD OF YOU. CONGRATULATIONS. KEEP YOUR HEAD UP. LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE BECAUSE IT'S OUT THERE. I LOVE YOU. I LOVE YOU. CON CONGRATULATIONS. CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU, MR. MICK
MING, MR. HAY, MS. KELLEY. CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE. THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE] >> MAYOR: NEXT, PLEASE. >> I'M CAROL PORTER, I LIVE IN STONEHAVEN IN BOYNTON BEACH. I WANTED TO CONGRATULATE THE NEW COMMISSIONERS FOR BEING THE
ELECTED OR COMING INTO OFFICE. SOME OF YOU I THINK HAVE SPOKEN ABOUT SENIOR FRAUD. I THINK -- THEY HAD A FORUM ABOUT FRAUD WITH SENIORS. I HOPE YOU CAN EXPAND THOSE EFFORTS THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY
BECAUSE I'M A VICTIM OF SENIOR FRAUD. AGAIN, CONGRATULATIONS AND WELCOME ABOARD. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU. MOIP THERE'S NO ONE ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE TO SPEAK. WE'RE GOING TO CHECK ONLINE. >> NO, MAYOR, THERE'S NOBODY

>> NO, MAYOR, THANK YOU. >> MAYOR: COMMISSIONER MCCRAY. >> YES, I WOULD LIKE TO PULL ITEMS B, D, AND E. >> MAYOR: AND COMMISSIONER CRUZ. >> NONE FOR ME, PLAGUE, THANK

B, D, AND E. >> RIGHT. MAYOR, THANK YOU. THE REASON I PULLED THESE ITEMS IS BECAUSE AS I LOOKED AT THIS AGENDA AND IT SAYS STAFF RECORECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF PROP. I KIND OF HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THIS. I'M JUST SAYING, YOU KNOW, I
DON'T WANT TO BE THE ONE THAT SAYS THIS, BUT I DON'T BELIEVE IN DOING PRE AGENDA MEETINGS BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE WE HAD A MEETING BEHIND THE MEETING AND THAT'S A MISNOMER FOR THE PUBLIC. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MEETING ONE-ON-ONE, JUST LIKE
MR. WOODROW STOOD UP HERE AND SAID, YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO HAVE QUESTIONS. WE NEED TO HAVE A PLACE WHERE INDIVIDUALS CAN COME AND ASK, SAY WHAT IS THIS BEING SPENT FOR AND WHY IS THIS BEING DONE. FOR THE LAST YEARS, YOU KNOW, YOU ALL HAVE LOST THAT AND I WANT US TO GO BACK TO THAT.
I'M JUST SAYING SO NOBODY CAN SAY LIKE WE'RE BREAKING THE SUNSHINE LAW. LET'S GOING BA TO OUR ONE AND ONES. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO DO ONE-ON-ONES, I WILL NOT DO, I WILL NOT DO A PRE AGENDA MEETING. IT'S MEET WITH THE CITY MANAGER OR WHOEVER HE
DESIGNATES BECAUSE THAT IS THE RIGHT WAY TO DO GOVERNMENT SO IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE WE'RE GOING SOMETHING BEHIND, AND THAT'S WHY I PULLED ITEM B. THE REASON I PULLED ITEM B IS WE ARE THE POLICYMAKERS OF THIS CITY. WE HAVE BEEN ENTRUSTED BY THE
CITIZENS, AND TO READ APPROVAL OF THE CITY ATTORNEY. THE CITY ATTORNEY IS AN EMPLOYEE OF THE CITY. SOMEBODY EXPLAIN TO ME WHY THE CITY ATTORNEYEDS TO APPROVE SOMETHING WE NEED TO BE APPROVING? A. ITCH THE LANGUAGE SHOULD BE SUBJECT TO LEGAL REVIEW AND I THINK WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IT BEFORE.
>> THAT'S ACTUALLY WHAT IT DOES SAY IN THE RESOLUTION MATTER. WHAT HAPPEN ASSIST YOU APPROVE THE APPROVAL FOR THE APPLICATION OF THE GRANTS, THEN WHEN THE GRANT DOCUMENTS COMES IN, MY OFFICE REVIEWS THEM FOR LEGAL SUFFICIENCY, THEN THEY'RE SIGNED OFF FROM. >> THANK YOU.
WITH THAT BEING SAID, MOTION TO APPROVE. >> SO, DO WE CHANGE THE LANGUAGE AND THE ORDINANCE GOES FORWARD? TO CHANGE TO SUBJECT TO LEGAL REVIEW INSTEAD? >> YES. >> YES. >> MAYOR: ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. [CHORUS OF AYES] >> MAYOR: ALL THOSE OPPOSED,
NAY. MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. MOVING ON TO D. >> THE REASON I HAD D PULLED WAS WHERE IT SAYS THAT THE CITY MANAGER WILL BE THE SECRETARIERY EXECUTER OF THE CONTRACT. I WANT THE PUBLIC TO KNOW THAT
HE'S NOT PICKING UP ANOTHER CHECK FOR DOING THIS. THIS IS JUST SOMETHING THAT HE'S BEEN GIVEN A TASK TO DO BECAUSE OF HIS EXPERTISE IN THE FIELD THAT HE WORKS IN. SO I'M JUST SAYING I DON'T WANT ANYBODY GOING OUT THINKING THAT THE MANAGER IS GOING TO BE PAID AN EXTRA ACADEMIC. THIS IS WHY WE NEED TO ASK
QUESTIONS, SAYING THAT BESIDES HIS REGULAR SALARY, GEEING TO GET A REGULAR SALARY. WITH THAT BEING SAID, I OFFER A MOTION WE APPROVE THIS. >> SECOND. >> MAYOR: WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. [CHORUS OF AYES] >> MAYOR: ALL THOSE OPPOSED SAY
NAY. MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. MOVING ON TO E. >> THANK YOU, MAYOR. THIS IS BEING DONE BECAUSE IT'S IN THE BUDGET, BUT I'D LIKE TO KNOW FOR YOU ALL TO ADDRESS TO ME ONE-ON-ONE, I KNOW YOU HAVE A COPY DOWN THERE, MR. MIKE, BUT I NEED YOU TO ADDRESS BEFORE THE
PUBLIC WHERE THIS MONEY WILL BE COMING FROM AND WHERE IT WILL BE GOING. WHEN WE START MOVING MONEY AROUND, I'M JUST SAYING THAT THE CITIZENS NEED TO KNOW WHERE IS THIS MONEY COMING FROM AND WHY WE'RE MOVING IT, ET CETERA. I'M JUST SAYING JUST BECAUSE STAFF STAYS RECOMMEND APPROVAL,
THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT AS ELECTED OFFICIALS WE NEED TO APPROVE IT. PLEASE EXPLAIN, SIR. >> YES, SIR. THANK YOU. SO ON THIS ITEM, THERE'S ONE YOU ARE FOUR EXHIBITS.
EXHIBIT A IS MOVING -- OR WE'RE RECOGNIZING FUNDING FROM THE CRA REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE TWO BEAUTIFICATION AND STREET TECHNICIANS THAT WERE APPROVED AT THE END OF THE BUDGET CYCLE. WE ARE ALSO APPROPRIAT APPROPRIG
$475,000 FROM FUND BALANCE. THAT WILL BE TRANSFERRED TO THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUND 302. THAT'S EXHIBIT A. EXHIBIT B IS PULLING 358 # THOU$358,000FROM THE CEMETERY MD
TO THE FUND THE SARA SIMS CEMETERY EXPANSION PROJECT. THEN EXHIBIT C IS THE 302 OUR CAPITAL FUND THAT IS FUNDED BY THE GENERAL FUND. WE ARE RECOGNIZING REVENUE IN THE AMOUNT OF 310,000 FROM THE
CRA. THE TRANSFER FROM THE GENERAL FUND AND THE TRANSFER FROM THE MEMORIAL FUND IN THE AMOUNT OF 1.1 MILLION. THEN EDGE WE'RE REALLOCATING OR RECOGNIZING THE EXPENSES FOR THE SALARIES OF THE CRA PROJECT
MANAGER IN $160,000, BRIDGE IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE COMPLETE THAT WE'RE GETTING REIMBURSED FROM THE CRA, 50,000, I THINK IT'S FOR CAMERAS OR FEATURE IN INK, AND THEN THE ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR PARK IMPROVEMENTS TO
CEMETERY. , THE 400,000 FOR LITTLE LEAGUE, AND THE 75,000 FOR POLICE LAPTOPS THAT WAS NOT IN THE ORIGINAL BUDGET. THE FINAL ONE IN THE 303 FUND, WE'RE PULLING 713 FROM FUND
BALANCE, 228,000 IS GOING TO COMPLETELY PAY FOR THE HESTER CENTER IMPROVEMENT PROJECT, THAT PROJECT WAS CLOSED OUT INADVERTENTLY, THE LAST PAY OUT DID NOT GET PAID, SO WE'RE REALLOCATING THE MONEY. THE MONEY WENT TO FUND BALANCE, SO WE'RE JUST REALLOCATING TO THIS PROJECT, AND WE'RE
ALLOCATING ANOTHER 485,000 FOR OUR ERP PROJECT, WHICH IS THE REPLACEMENT OF OUR SOFTWARE, THE CENTRAL SQUARE WITH WORKDAY AND SPRY POINT. >> THANK YOU, SIR. DO YOU HAVE A TOTAL, I'M JUST SAYING, THAT YOU CAN STATE TO THE PEOPLE STILL SIT SITTING INO THE PEOPLE IN THE AUDIENCE, WHAT
THE TOTAL WE WOULD BE MOVING AROUND, PLEASE? A. YES, SIR. >> YOU CAN DO A GUESSTIMATION, SIR? A. YES. >> 1.7 MILLION TOTAL. >> THANK YOU.
THIS IS WHY WE NEED TO QUESTION THINGS AS WE SIT UP HERE SO THAT PEOPLE DON'T THINK THAT COMMISSIONERS ARE JUST SITTING UP HERE AND RUBBER STAMPING THINGS. THAT IS NOT OUR JOB. NOT MINE ANYWAY. MOTION TO APPROVE. >> SECOND. >> MAYOR: ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. [CHORUS OF AYES]
>> MAYOR: ALL THOSE OPPOSED SAY NAY. MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. WE'RE NOW MOVING ON TO CONSENT BIDS AND PURCHASES OVER A HUNDRED THOUSAND. IF ANY OF MY COLLEAGUES FOR LIKE TO MULL ANY ITEMS. >> I WOULD LIKE TO PULL 7E, AS WELL AS 7 G.
>> MAYOR: OKAY. >> COMMISSIONER TURKIN. >> NO, THANK YOU. >> MOTION TO APPROVE THE REMAINDER OF CONSENT. >> SECOND MEMORIAL ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. [CHORUS OF AYES] >> MAYOR: ALL THOSE OPPOSED, SAY NAY.
MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. COMMISSIONER CRUZ, SINCE YOU PULLED -- YOU WANT TO MOVE ON WITH E? >> YES, MAYOR. DR. CALCUT HAS A SMALL PRESENTATION, BUT I WANTED TO
PULL THIS ITEM WITH THE PURPOSE OF LETTING THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF SAN CASTLE TO KNOW. THE IMPROVEMENTS WE'LL BE MAKING WITH THIS GRANT FUNDING THAT WE HAVE. >> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR. GOOD EVENING, COMMISSIONERS. CONGRATULATIONS, COMMISSIONER MCCRAY, COMMISSIONER KELLEY, AND
CONGRATULATIONS VICE-MAYOR TURKIN. I'M THE UTILITIES DIRECTOR AND THIS PROJECT IS GOING TO BE LIKE COMMISSIONER CRUZ SAID, IT'S GOING TO BE AROUND SAN CASTLE, AND IT'S AN INFRASTRUCTURE 34EU9 GAUGES PROJECT.
MITIGATION PROJECT. THE CITY RECEIVED 16 # MILT $16N GRANT MONEY AND WE HAVE $2.2 MILLION THAT WE'RE MATCHING IN THAT GRANT TO GET -- SO, THAT
IS THE AREA THAT IS UNDER THE PROJECT AND WE ARE CONTINUING TO DO SOME OF THE AREA THAT'S NOT IN THE PROJECT. WE'RE CONTINUING TO LOOK FOR OTHER GRANT MONEY AND WE'RE WORKING THROUGH, WE GOT SOME APPROPRIATIONS MONEY TO WORK ON SOME OF THE WATER AND SEWER IN THAT AREA, TOO. BUT THIS PROJECT IS GOING TO BE
REALLY WORKING ON FLOODING, IMPROVING FLOODING CONDITIONS THERE, SO DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS. THERE'S ALSO YOUR STREETSCAPING, AS WELL AS AGING WATER AND SEWER UTILITIES IN THE AREA THAT'S GOING TO GET WORKED ON WITH THIS PROJECT.
SO, ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS IS PART OF IT. THERE ARE SOME OF THE GRADING FOR WHAT THE GRADES BEING GIVEN FOR SOME OF THE ROADWAYS IN THIS AREA, SO PAVING IS ONE OF THE BIG PARTS OF THIS PROJECT TO IMPROVE. PAVING IS GOING TO IMPROVE
TRAFFIC AS WELL AS PEDESTRIAN, MOVEMENT. STORMWATER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT ASSIST ONE OF THE BIG REASONS FOR THIS GRANT. THE GRANT WAS FROM FLORIDA COMMERCE AND THIS IS A MITIGATION GRANT, SO IT A LOT OF IT IS COVERING THE DRAINAGE PORTION OF IT.
AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE SOME POTABLE WATER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS. WE ARE USING TECHNIQUES TO REALLY INCREASE -- IMPROVE THE LIECH OF SOME OF THESE WATER MAINS. LAST THING WE'RE DOING IS STORM
IMPROVEMENT THAT IS LINING THE SEWER. THE NEXT SLIDE SHOWS THE BUDGET, TOTAL PROJECT COST. SO, 19 MILLION IN TOTAL. THIS AREA HAS BEEN SORELY IN NEED. BECAUSE IT'S A BIG, LARGE AREA, SO IT'S HARD FOR US TO DO KRIP
CAPITAL CIPPROJECTS WITHOUT GETE GRANT MONEY, SO WE APPRECIATE THE COMMERCE GRANT. THIS AGENDA ITEM IS BRINGING ON WAY TRIPLE ON AS A CONSULTANT TO DESIGN AND ENGINEER THIS PROJECT. I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. I ALSO HAVE KEVIN
HERE IN CASE YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ON THE PAVING PORTION OF IT, BUT I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ON ANY OF THE UTILITY PORTIONS OF IT. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU. NOW WE'RE MOVING ON TO G. >> MOTION TO APPROVE. >> SECOND. >> MAYOR: WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE AND A SECOND. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.
[CHORUS OF AYES] >> MAYOR: ALL THOSE OPPOSED, SAY NAY. >> MAYOR, SKIES ME, BEFORE WE GO FORWARD. ITEM A WAS AN ITEM THAT WAS TABLED ON MARCH THE THIRD AND THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM THE TABLE.
UNDER CONSENT. [SPEAKER OFF MIC] >> WE NEVER MADE THE PROPER PROCEDURE. >> WE NEED TO MOVE IT FROM THE TABLE TO MOVE FORWARD. >> SO A MOTION TO REMOVE IT FROM THE TABLE. >> SECOND. >> MAYOR: I HAVE A MOTION TO REMOVE R26703 FROM THE TABLE,
AND A SECOND. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. [CHORUS OF AYES] >> MAYOR: ALL THOSE OPPOSED, SAY NAY. WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE 7E AND A SECOND. ALL THOSE IN FAIMP, SAY AYE. [CHORUS OF AYES] >> MAYOR: ALL THOSE OPPOSED SAY ANYWAY. MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. BEFORE WE MOVE FORWARD, I WANT TO MAKE A QUICK COMMENT AND I THINK IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN HAPPENING A LITTLE BIT MORE
FREQUENTLY. I WOULD APPRECIATE TO HAVE -- TO NOT HAVE ITEMS BE ADDED TO OUR AGENDA THE DAY OF THE MEETING. YOU KNOW, SOME OF US ARE WORKING FULL-TIME JOBS AND FOR EXAMPLE, THE ITEM I'M ABOUT TO TALK ABOUT
WAS ADDED AROUND LUNCHTIME. THAT'S WHEN I WAS INFORMED ABOUT IT. IT WAS NOT ON THE AGENDA PRIOR TO, SO I COULDN'T HAVE GONE THROUGH THE CONTRACT OR READ ANY OF T THIS IS A 7 MILLION-DOLLAR PLUS PURCHASE. ALTHOUGH THERE'S POSITIVES TO IT, I THINK THAT WE NEED
REASONABLE TIME TO REVIEW THESE THINGS, AND NOT JUST THIS ITEM, BUT IN GENERAL. WE SHOULD NOT BE ADDING ANYTHING TO THE COMMISSION MEETING AGENDA THE DAY OF THE MEETINGS. IT'S JUST TOO SOON. IT REALLY REDUCES TRANSPARENCY IN GOVERNMENT AND OUR ABILITY TO
DO OUR JOBS IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE. SO, I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT AND I HOPE THAT WE CAN CHANGE THAT IN THE FUTURE. ONE OTHER THING REGARDING ITEM 7
7G, WHICH IS WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DISCUSS IN A SECOND. I HAD TO FIND OUT FROM ONE OF OUR RESIDENTS THAT APPARENTLY THERE'S FOURTH AMENDMENT LEGAL CHALLENGES, WHICH I WAS NOT INFORMED BY OUR LEGAL TEAM. THERE WAS NOTHING. I WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THAT, SO I WANT TO ASK, IF IT'S ACCURATE
TO SAY THAT. IS THAT TRUE? IS THAT NOT TRUE? >> I CAN BRIEFLY. DID NOT WORK ON THIS ITEM, BUT I WILL LOOK AT IT REAL QUICK. I'M NOT AWARE OF ANY LAWSUITS OR LITIGATION. >> SO, I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK WITH REPRESENTATIVES OF
GLOCK FLOCK, AND I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE. I'LL TELL A QUICK STORY, AND THEN WE'LL DIVE INTO THE PRESENTATION BECAUSE I HAVE A LOT OF QUESTIONS THAT BEFORE BROUGHT UP DURING PUBLIC COMMENT AND I GOT A LOT OF THOSE ANSWERED SPEAKING WITH THE REPRESENTATIVES OF FLOCK. I'M NOT SURE IF THEY'RE HERE
TONIGHT OR IF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT CAN TALK TO THEM. FIRST AND FOREMOST, I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT BOYNTON BEACH HAS ONE OF THE HIGHEST CRIME RATES. WE RANK TOP FIVE FOR VIOLENT CRIME. I WANT EVERYONE TO SIT HERE AND THINK WHY THAT IS. YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS WE'VE
HAD THE REPRESENTATION THAT REPUTATION THAT DOESN'TPROCEED . WHEN I HAVE RESIDENTS COME UP TO ME LAST YEAR AND THEY WERE FEARFUL FOR THEIR LIVES, AND THEIR NEW NEW NEWBORNS AND HAVY
BULLETS COMING THROUGH THEIR HOWTSZ, COMING TO ME FOR ANSWERS AND I DON'T HAVE ANY. WHAT DO I DOE? AS I A MAN, I LIKE TO TAKE ACTION. I LIKE TO PUT ONE FOOT IN FRONTS OF THE OTHER. WE DO THAT BY SHAPING POLICY AND PROVIDING RESOURCES WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. SO TO PIGGYBACK AND CARRY ON THE
CONVERSATION I HAD LAST NIGHT WHEN WE HAD ANOTHER FATHER COME UP HERE AND TALK ABOUT MULTIPLE BREAK-INS IN HIS STREET, AND SAYING THAT HE MOVED TO THE CITY, YOU KNOW, THREE YEARS AGO AND HAS INVESTED HEAVILY INTO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, PAYING
TARTAXES,ENTRUSTING OUR CITY ANR CITY'S REPRESENTATIVES, AND NOT JUST ME BUT EVERYBODY ON THIS DAIS TO MAKE THIS A SAFER COMMUNITY TO HIS FAMILY, FOR HIS WIFE AND HIS KIDS. I TAKE THAT SERIOUSLY. YOU KNOW, FOR ME, I'M GOING TO DO EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING I CAN
TO CONSTRUCT WAYS TO IDENTIFY WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO. I DON'T HAVE UNILATERAL AUTHORITY. I DON'T HAVE THE CITY MANAGER AUTHORITY, BUT I DO HAVE A VOICE, AND I WILL UTILIZE THAT VOICE AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE.
SO, YOU KNOW, WHEN WE LOOK AT LPRs AND WE LOOK AT TECHNOLOGY, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I COMMITTED TO WAS INNOVATING OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT AND INVESTING IN IT HEAVILY. I LOOK FORWARD TO THIS PRESENTATION, BUT I DON'T WANT
US TO FORGET THAT WE DO HAVE A REAL ISSUE F YOU LOOK AT THE NATIONAL STANDARD OF VIOLENT CRIME THROUGHOUT OUR CITY, SO WE CAN SAY WE WANT MORE OFFICERS. THAT ONLY GOES SO FAR. I'M PROUD OF THE WORK THAT CHIEF HAS DONE OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS AS FAR AS TAKING ON THIS
DIFFICULT STAFF OR TASK. I KNOW IT'S NOT EASY TO DO THAT. BUT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE RELY ON US TO PROVIDE THEM WITH THE RESOURCES THAT THEY NEED. SO, I WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION AND UNDERSTAND HOW
ELSE CAN WE INVEST IN OUR COMMUNITY BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN FULLY STAFFED NOW FOR A FEW YEARS AND OBVIOUSLY, INNOVATION, TECHNOLOGY, AI IS SOMETHING THAT IS SWEEPING EVERY SINGLE
INDUSTRY LIKE THROUGH A STORM. SO, WE'RE EITHER GOING TO BE INNOVATIVE OR WE'RE GOING TO GET LEFT BEHIND, AND ONE OF THE MOST EXPENSIVE THINGS THAT YOU CAN SAY WAS WE'VE ALWAYS DONE IT THAT WAY. WHY SHOULD WE CHANGE? IF YOU CHANGE NOTHING, NOTHING CHANGES.
SO, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR THIS BODY TO LOOK AT ALTERNATIVE WAYS TO PREVENT THOSE CONVERSATIONS OF FAMILIES BEGGING YOU FOR ANSWERS WHEN THEY HAVE STRAY BULLETS GOING THROUGH THEIR WALL, HITTING THEIR LITTLE CHILD'S ROOM. YOU KNOW, ONE STORY I WANT TO
SHARE IS THAT WHEN WE HAD THIS HAPPEN IN THE CHAPEL HILL NEIGHBORHOOD LAST WEEK, IT WAS MONTHS AND MONTHS AND MONTHS, AND THE REASON WHY WE WERE ABLE TO IDENTIFY WHO IT WAS, THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, WAS THAT AN LPR IN OCEAN RIDGE IN ANOTHER
TOWN WAS ABLE TO, AND AGAIN, IF I MISSPEAK, CHIEF, FIX IN THE GAPS, BUT WAS ABLE TO DETECT THIS LICENSE PLATE THAT WAS HIT COMING OUT OF CHAPEL HILL, RIGHT, AND CONNECTED TO A REAL
TIME CRIME CENTER. I THINK THAT'S THE PERFECT EXAMPLE TO SHOW THAT INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY IS WORKING, AND IT'S BECOMING A FORCE MULTIPLIER, WHERE WE'RE JUST NOT RELYING ON OFFICERS AND BOOTS ON THE GROUND.
I WANT AS MUCH AS WE CAN GET, BUT I THINK IF WE DIDN'T HAVE ONE OF THE HIGHEST VIOLENT CRIME RATES IN THE CITY, MAYBE THIS WON'T BE SUCH AN URGENCY, BUT I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE INVEST AND WE THINK ABOUT THESE SOLUTIONS THAT COME BEFORE US
THAT SHOW THAT THEY WORK. YOU KNOW, THE LAST THING I WANT TO DO IS GO BACK TO MY CONSTITUENCY OR ANY CONSTITUENT IN THE CITY THAT CRIED OUT FOR A PLAN WHRA. ARE YOU GOING TO DO? WE'VE SEEN ALL OF THE AIM NEWS
ARTICLES, WHAT'S THE PLAN? WHAT'S THE PLAN TO TACKLE THIS VIOLENT CRIME. FOR ME, THIS IS PART OF THE PLAN. IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT, YOU KNOW, BOOTS ON THE GROUND. IT'S ABOUT TECHNOLOGY. IT'S ABOUT INVESTMENT. I DO HAVE A LOT OF CONCERNS ABOUT THE SURVEILLANCE. I DID GET A OF GOOD ANSWER.
I THINK THE KEYNOTE FOR THE PUBLIC IS UNFORTUNATELY AFTER 9/11, THE NSA WENT WILD WITH SURVEILLANCE F YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT SURVEILLANCE, I RECOMMEND THAT YOU DON'T GET ONE OF THESE BECAUSE THIS THING TRACKS EVERYTHING YOU DO EVERY SINGLE DAY, WHERE YOU GO, WHO YOU'RE
TALKING TO. HELL, I WAS TALKING ABOUT TACO BELL THE OTHER DAY AND A TACO BELL AD SHOWS UP. SO, IT GOES TO SHOW WE'RE CONSTANTLY BEING SURVEILLED. I WANT US TO UNDERSTAND, THERE'S CONCERNS ABOUT DATA RETENTION
AND I'LL LET THE CHIEF AND FLOCK TALK ABOUT THAT THERE'S CONCERNS ABOUT HOW THAT DATA IS USED. THERE'S CONCERNS ABOUT WHAT AND THERE ARE CONCERNS ABOUT WHAT IT IS CAPTURING AND ANY POTENTIAL LITIGATION, AND FROM I UNDERSTAND, POTENTIAL LITIGATION
WAS IN VIRGINIA IN NORFOLK. AND NORFOLK LOST AGAINST THE COMPANY AS FAR AS THE ISSUE WITH THE FOURTH AMENDMENT, AND SO I KNOW THERE'S DEFINITELY CONCERNS, BUT I THINK THE BIGGEST CONCERN IS IF A FATHER
OR MOTHER LOSES A CHILD AND WHAT IS THE ANSWER TO THAT IF YOU LOSE A BROTHER OR A SISTER? AND IF I HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO INVEST IN ADDITIONAL TECHNOLOGY AND RESOLVE A CRIME AND PREVENT SOMEONE FROM COMMITTING A HEINOUS ACT AGAIN, I'LL DO THAT
10 TIMES OVER BECAUSE THERE IS NO VALUE -- THERE IS NO MONETARY VALUE ON LIFE. IT IS INVALUABLE. YOU COULD GET $20 MILLION TONIGHT AND IF YOU DON'T WAKE UP TOMORROW, WHAT DOES THAT REALLY MEAN? AND SO, YOU KNOW, I DO WANT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS
PRESENTATION AND I OWE TO MY CONSTITUENCY AND MY MORAL COMPASS TO DO EVERYTHING TO GO
TO INVEST IN THE RESOURCES THEY NEED. >> THERE IS A LAWSUIT CURRENT PENDING IN 2025 IN CALIFORNIA, WASHINGTON, ILLINOIS AND VIRGINIA AND ONE FEDERAL COURT
HAS RULED THEY DO NOT VIOLATE THE FOURTH AMENDMENT, AND THERE ARE NO CASES CURRENTLY FILED IN FLORIDA. THOSE ARE ALL FILED WITHIN THE LAST FEW MONTHS. >> THANK YOU. AND MY POINT, AND I APPRECIATE EVERYTHING YOU ARE SAYING, VICE
MAYOR TURKIN. THE POINT I'M TRYING TO MAKE IS SOMETIMES GETTING AN AGENDA THE DAY OF THE VOTE DOESN'T GIVE ENOUGH TIME TO DO THE RESEARCH AND ASK QUESTIONS TO LEGAL AND TALK ABOUT THINGS THAT ARE IMPORTANT. THAT IS MY POINT.
I AM NOT SAYING MY POSITION, BUT THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THINGS BEFORE. THANK YOU. >> TO THE COMMISSIONER'S CONCERN, COMMISSIONER CRUZ, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AS AN ELECTED OFFICIAL THAT IF YOU FEEL SOMETHING THAN GIVEN TO YOU AT
THE LAST MINUTE, YOU CAN OFFER A MOTION TO BE TABLE AND UNTIL YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE AND ENOUGH VOTES NOT TO MOVE FORWARD, WE DON'T MOVE. THAT IS YOUR RIGHT. THANK YOU. >> Mayor: OKAY. WOULD YOU LIKE TO COME UP AND
GIVE YOUR PRESENTATION BRIEFLY? >> GOOD EVENING, MAYOR, VICE MAYOR, COMMISSION. JUST A LITTLE POWER POINT. IF WE CAN PUT IT UP.
>> GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE. JOHN BONNFORD, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC SAFETY. I WANT SO SAY I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER FIRST OFF AND FOREMOST THAT THIS TECHNOLOGY THAT WE'RE USING, WE HAVE BEEN USING FOR APPROXIMATELY THREE YEARS ALREADY. SO THIS IS NOT A NEW TECHNOLOGY.
ALL WE'RE ASKING IS AN EXPANSION OF THE TECHNOLOGY BECAUSE WE HAVE HAD A LOT OF SUCCESS WITH IT. AND WE WANT TO SEE THAT EXPANSION TAKE PLACE. I JUST WOULD LIKE YOU TO REMEMBER THAT AS WE GO THROUGH THE PRESENTATION. AND OF COURSE, WE BROUGHT REPRESENTATIVES FROM FLOCK TO
ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. WE ALSO HAVE SOMEONE ONLINE TO ANSWER ANY LEGAL QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE REGARDING THIS ISSUE. SO ASSISTANT CHIEF COTZ WILL NOW
GIVE THE PRESENTATION. >> GOOD EVENING, GOING. BOYNTON BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT IS PROPOSING TO PURCHASE THE COMPREHENSIVE PACKAGE THAT INCLUDES SEVERAL ADVANCED COMPONENTS TO DESIGNED TO IMPROVE PUBLIC SAFETY AND
OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY WITHIN THE REALTIME CRIME CENTER, REALTIME PATROL OPERATIONS AND INVESTIGATIVE SERVICES. THIS COMPREHENSIVE PACKAGE WOULD BE THE FIRST IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA IF WE WERE TO ADOPT THAT HAVE. SO THE CITY IS CONTINUING TO
MODERNIZE PUBLIC SAFETY AS A FORCE MULTIPLIER TO SUPPLEMENT STAFFING AND INCREASE VISIBLE, AND ALLOW OFFICERS TO BE MORE RESPONSIVE ACROSS THE CITY. IF YOU LOOK OVER TO THE LEFT, OVER HERE, THERE IS A COMPARISON OF DEPLOYMENTS.
ON THE LEFT HERE WE HAVE OUR CURRENT DEPLOYMENT, WHICH IS 29 FLOCK LPRs, AND WE HAVE 18 FROM VERRA MOBILITY. WE CURRENTLY HAVE 1.0 MILE RADIUS OF SHOT DETECTION.
OUR DRONE FIRST RESPONDER, OUR DFR, AND CURRENTLY WE HAVE NO FLOCK CAMERAS CURRENTLY DEPLOYED. SO WITH THIS SAFE CITY INITIATIVE AND DEPLOYMENT, WE WILL BE LOOKING AT 60 FLOCK
LPRs, 80 CAMERAS, AND 18LPRs FROM VERRA MOBILITY. THERE WILL BE A HALF MILE MORE OF RADIUS FOR SHOT DETECTION FOR A TOTAL OF 1.5. OUR UPGRADED DRONE FIRST
RESPONDER, TWO MOBILE LPR TRAILERS WITH ONE MOBILE CAMERA TRAILER. A PREMIUM OPERATING SYSTEM, 911 INTEGRATION, AND THE BUSINESS CAMERA INTEGRATION. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SERGEANT VARGAS NOW GO THROUGH SOME OF
OUR WINS, OUR SUCCESSES IN RECENT MONTHS. >> GOOD EVENING. SERGEANT VARGAS, SUPERVISOR OF REALTIME CRIMES CENTER. JUST RECENTLY WE'VE HAD SOME REREALLY, REALLY GOOD SUCCESSES. SO THE OTHER DAY WE HAD A
VEHICLE FLEE FROM OFFICERS WHILE TOSSING OUT NARCOTICS OF THE VEHICLE. MEMBERS STARTED THE DRONE AND LOCATED THE SUSPECT.
RTCC DEPLOYED A DRONE TO FOSTERS MILL AFTER RECEIVING A CALL FOR A SUICIDAL SUBJECT ARMED WITH A KNIFE. THE DRONE ARRIVED FIRST, QUICKLY LOCATED THE MALE. OBSERVED HE NO LONGER HAD A KNIFE IN HIS POSSESSION AND LED OFFICERS TO HIM. HE WAS SAFELY TAKEN INTO
CUSTODY. ADDITIONALLY MEMBERS OF THE DETECTIVE BUREAU WERE ACTIVELY WORKING A CASE WHERE ELDERLY INDIVIDUALS WERE PREYED UPON, BEING PICKPOCKETED. THE VEHICLE WAS CAPTURED BY THE LPR WHICH LED DETECTIVES TO THEM
AND A DRONE FOLLOWED TO CONFIRM THE IDENTITY OF THE SUSPECTS AND TAKEN INTO CUSTODY SHORTLY THEREAFTER. ADDITIONALLY, VICE MAYOR TURKIN SPOKE ABOUT ANOTHER CASE, A CASE WHERE THERE WAS PROBABLY 15 OR 16 CASES OF SHOTS FIRED OR
SHOOTINGS THAT TOOK PLACE THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY. I BELIEVE FOUR OR FIVE TOOK PLACE IN BOYNTON BEACH. HE WAS CORRECT IN THE FACT THAT LPR WITH A FLOCK LPR IN OYSTER RIDGE LED TO THE DISCOVERY OF THE VEHICLE. THAT SAME DISCOVERY ALLOWED US
AS THE DETECTIVES TO FOLLOW-UP. WE SUBSEQUENTLY LOCATED THAT VEHICLE AND MADE AN ARREST. UTILIZING THE EVIDENCE THAT WAS INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND FOLLOWED THE INVESTIGATION WHICH ALLOWED US TO CLOSE 16 CASES WITHIN PALM BEACH COUNTY.
AND IT ALLOWED US TO WORK WITH OTHER AGENCIES TO CLOSE THOSE CASES. THIS TECHNOLOGY IS CRUCIAL TO OUR SUCCESS. REALTIME CRIME CENTER. IT ALLOWS US TO SHOW UP FASTER. WE'RE ABLE TO GET THAT INFORMATION TO THE OFFICERS SO THEY CAN MAKE BETTER INFORMED
DECISION. AND WE'RE ABLE TO ALLOW THAT INFORMATION TO GET TO THE COMMAND STAFF OR GET TO THE SUPERVISOR SO THEY CAN MAKE BETTER DECISIONS.
>> ONE OF THE THINGS THAT ACTUALLY VICE MAYOR TURKIN MENTIONED BACK IN DECEMBER WAS COLLABORATION WITH THE SAFE CITY AND IT ALLOWS COLLABORATION NOT JUST WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT DETECTIVE BUREAU AND ALLOWS COLLABORATION WITHIN THE CITY AS WELL.
THERE IS A LOT OF TECHNOLOGY CURRENTLY BEING DEPLOYED UNDER SAFE CITY THAT WOULD ALSO BENEFIT DEVELOPMENT AS A SAFE CITY AND THE CITY IS MORE ATTRACTIVE TO BUSINESSES AND MORE ATTRACTED TO BUILDERS. WE ALSO HAVE AS A TRAFFIC STUDY,
ANALYTICS THAT CAN ALSO HELP OUR TRAFFIC ENGINEERS OUT IN THE CITY. THE CAMERAS COULD IMPROVE THE SECURITY IN OUR FACILITIES TO MAKE SURE EMPLOYEES ARE SAFE. ALSO IT CAN IMPROVE THE SECURITY AT OUR PARKS TO MAKE SURE THAT WHEN PEOPLE ARE ENJOYING THE
GREAT PARKS THAT WE'RE BUILDING HERE IN BOYNTON BEACH, THEY CAN DO IT SO SAFELY. THERE'S A LOT OF COLLABORATION WITH THE SAFE CITY. TODAY WE BROUGHT OUR FLOCK REPRESENTATIVES, NATE AND JAKE,
AND THEY CAN GO INTO A LITTLE BUILT ABOUT FLOCK AND SOME OF THE CONCERNS WHEN IT COMES TO OUR DATA, WHICH I BELIEVE THERE IS A HOT TOPIC. TREVOR, I BELIEVE S ONLINE WHO CAN ANSWER SOME OF THE DATA QUESTIONS AS WELL.
>> YEAH, SO I KNOW THERE WAS SOME CONCERN AROUND DATA AND EVERYTHING. AND I WOULD LIKE TO KIND OF WELCOME TREVOR CHANDLER FROM OUR PUBLIC AFFAIRS TEAM AND HE SHOULD BE ONLINE. AND TREVOR, IF YOU WANT TO -- IF YOU CAN HEAR US OUT THERE, AND ANSWER SOME OF THE DATA PRIVACY
QUESTIONS, THAT WOULD BE GREAT. >> YES. HELLO, EVERYONE. MY NAME IS TREVOR CHANDLER AND HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS AROUND DATA PRIVACY TO LEAD OFF WITH, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW FLOCK DOES NOT SELL DATA.
DOES NOT SELL CUSTOMER DATA. THE CONTRACT CLEARLY STATES THAT ALL OF THE IMAGES CAPTURED BY THE CAMERAS ARE OWNED BY BOYNTON BEACH, WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT. ALSO JUST IN RESPONSE TO SOME
COMMENTS, IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT BOYNTON BEACH POLICY HAS A 30-DAY RETENTION POLICY. SO ALL OF THOSE IMAGES ARE DELETED AFTER THOSE DAYS, WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT TO NOTE. THIS IS NOT GOING INTO A VERY LARGE DATABASE TO BE USED FOREVER AND EVER.
ANYTHING NOT USED FOR A CRIME IS DELETED AFTER 30 DAYS. AND IN ANOTHER NOTE, ALL THE DATA IS ENCRYPTED JUST AS THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SERVICES BY THE F.B.I. AND IS SOMETHING THAT WE TAKE EXTREMELY SERIOUSLY.
AND THESE ARE THREE MAIN POINTS TO TOUCH UPON, BUT ABSOLUTELY HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE. >> ANOTHER THING TO NOTE IS 1,000 DEPLOYMENTS THROUGH THE STATE OF FLORIDA. OVER 6,000 THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY. AND JUST UNDER 14,000 CAMERAS THAT ARE DEPLOYED IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA.
AND THE NETWORK YOU ARE ABLE TO ACCESS TO HELP CAN BE A FORCE MULTIPLIER TO THE POLICE FORCE AND IS REALLY JUST NOT ANYTHING YOU CAN COMPARE WITH OTHER PRODUCTS OUT THERE. >> I HAVE A QUESTION. IT WAS BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION
TONIGHT THROUGH A PUBLIC AUDIENCE THAT ANYBODY COULD ACCESS THIS DATA, THIS INFORMATION. IS THERE ANY TRUTH TO THAT, SIR? >> NO. SO, TREVOR CHANDLER WITH FLOCK. THAT'S NOT TRUE. THE ONLY PEOPLE ABLE TO ACCESS
THE FLOCK SYSTEM ARE SHIELDED LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS. THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT ARE ABLE TO OFFER ACCESS YOUR SYSTEM ARE PEOPLE AUTHORIZED BY THE SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR AND I WILL YIELD TO YOUR OFFICERS TO DETAIL WHO THEY PROVIDE ACCESS TO AND
TYPICALLY IT IS INVESTIGATORS, POLICE OFFICERS, AND DISPATCHERS. >> THANK YOU. DO YOU ALL HAVE A RECORD? HAS ANYONE EVER HACKED ONE OF YOUR SYSTEMS? TRYING TO MAKE SURE I AM HEARING EVERYTHING I NEED TO HEAR. >> ABSOLUTELY, SIR.
A VERY IMPORTANT AND VERY VALID QUESTION IN THE WORLD WE LIVE IN TODAY. THE ANSWER IS, NO. FLOCK HAS NEVER BEEN HACKED. THERE HAS NOT BEEN A BREACH. THAT DOES NOT MEAN WE ARE SITTING ON OUR LAURELS. THIS IS SOMETHING WE TAKE EXTREMELY SERIOUSLY. IF YOU HAVE ANY TECHNOLOGY
PROVIDER THAT COMES TO YOU SAYING THEY ARE SATISFIED WITH THEIR SECURITY, YOU SHOULD NOT HIRE THEM. WE ARE NEVER SATISFIED WITH OUR SECURITY. WE ARE CONTINUALLY INNOVATING AND FINDING THE NEXT BEST IN CLASS TO GET AHEAD OF BAD ACTOR. THAT INCLUDES RECENTLY HIRING
OUR FIRST EVER CHIEF INFORMATION SECURITY OFFICER. WE HAVE ALSO PARTNERED WITH BISHOP FOX, WHICH IS A CYBER SECURITY FIRM THAT WILL RELENTLESSLY TEST OUR SYSTEMS IN AN ADVERSARIAL WAY TO TEST WEAKNESSES TO FIX.
AND WE ALSO HAVE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE PUBLIC WHO MAY FIND A PARTICULAR WEAKNESS TO BRING IT TO OUR ATTENTION SO WE CAN PUBLICLY ACKNOWLEDGE IT, PATCH IT, AND MAKE THOSE CHANGES. BUT ALL OF THAT IS TO SAY WE HAVE NOT BEEN HACKED. THERE HAS NOT BEEN A DATA
BREACH, BUT IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WE ARE GOING TO REST ON OUR LAURELS. >> MY NEXT QUESTION IS, HAVE YOU EVER HAD A CITY TO SAY I DON'T WANT YOUR CONTRACT ANYMORE? >> YES. SO LIKE ANY COMPANY, I DON'T
THINK A SINGLE COMPANY RETAINS 100% OF THE CUSTOMERS AND HAS OVER 6,000 LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES AS CUSTOMERS. AND LESS THAN HALF A PERCENT OF THOSE CUSTOMERS HAVE CHOSEN NOT
TO RENEW. THIS IS VERY NORMAL FOR ANY BUSINESS. WE, OF COURSE, WANT TO KEEP ALWAYS 100% OF OUR CUSTOMERS AND IN ANY BUSINESS, THAT IS NOT ALWAYS THE CASE. WE ARE VERY PROUD OF OUR OVER 6,000 LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY. >> NEED TO ASK ANOTHER QUESTION.
WAS IT BECAUSE OF THE QUALITY OF SERVICES? WERE THEY AFRAID THEY WAS GOING TO BE SUEED? WHY DID THEY BREACH THE CONTRACT, SIR? >> AN IT VARIES FROM CITY TO CITY. FOR SOME OF THEM IT IS BUDGET PROBLEM. THEY SIMPLY COULDN'T AFFORD IT ANYMORE. AND SOME OF THEM HAD CONCERNS
WITH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, AND THEY DIDN'T WANT ANY PUBLIC SAFETY TECHNOLOGY BECAUSE THEY FEARED IT POSSIBLY IN SOME HYPOTHETICAL POTENTIAL WAY THAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT COULD BECOME INVOLVED, WHICH FLOCK PROVIDES PROTECTIONS AGAINST.
SO EVERY CITY IS DIFFERENT. AND IT VARIES. >> IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA -- HOW MANY IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA? >> I DON'T HAVE A SPECIFIC NUMBER. MAYBE THE GENTLEMEN THERE NOW, BUT I AM NOT AWARE OF MANY AT ALL IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA.
>> ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT CHURNING? YEAH, AS OF RIGHT NOW, I DO NOT HAVE THAT EXACT NUMBER. >> OKAY. HOW FAST CAN YOU ALL GET US THAT INFORMATION? I AM JUST SAYING WHEN MY TAKE IS THAT WHEN WE'RE DOING STUFF LIKE
THIS, WITH THIS CALIBER AND THINGS TOSSED ON US AT THE LAST MINUTE AND WE HAVE THESE QUESTIONS AND CAN'T GET ANSWERS THAT GO ALL THE WAY THROUGH, IT PUTS A RED FLAG WITH ME. I'M JUST SAYING IF THERE'S EVER BEEN ANYBODY WHO TO COME OFF THE SYSTEM IN FLORIDA, I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT IT. I AM JUST SAYING SO I CAN MAKE A
PHONE CALL AND SAY WHY DID YOU DO IT? OR WHAT WAS THE REASON? AND JUST SAYING YOU ALL CAN STAND UP THERE AND TELL US ANYTHING TO MAKE IT SOUND GOOD. BECAUSE YOUR SALESPEOPLE. BUT I NEED SOME HARD DATA. THAT'S THE WAY I ROLL.
IF IT'S IN BLACK AND WHITE, I CAN MOVE ON IT. >> JUST TO REITERATE THE POINT, OVER 6,000 LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY, LESS THAN 20 NATIONWIDE HAVE TURNED. AND WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THAT T AN EVEN A NATIONAL LEVEL, VERY
STATISTICALLY INSIGNIFICANT. >> I DO WANT TO BRING A POINT IF WE DECIDE TO MOVE FORWARD. I THINK THIS COMMISSION SHOULD CREATE SOME POLICIES WITH REGARD TO ACCOUNTABILITY AND TO TRY TO PREVENT ANY POTENTIAL MISUSE OR
OVERREACH. WE WANT TO UNDERSTAND HOW THIS SYSTEM OPERATES. WE WANT TO PUT SOME SAFEGUARDS INTO PLACE. AND MAKING SURE HOW WE COULD PREVENT ANY MISUSE FROM BEING ADDRESSED, SO IF THIS -- LIKE ANYTHING, RIGHT? LIKE ANYTHING IN THE WORLD COULD
BE USED FOR GOOD OR BAD THINGS. THIS DATA, MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT IT READS EVERY SINGLE LICENSE PLATE AND TWO OR THREE LANES POTENTIALLY, NOT JUST TARGETED LICENSE PLATES PER SE. IS THAT CORRECT?
OKAY. SO EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE VEHICLES THAT DRIVE THROUGH WHEREVER WE PUT THESE AT ARE GOING TO BE IN OUR DATABASE. THERE'S THE POTENTIAL NOT THAT IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN, BUT AS POLICY MAKERS WE NEED TO THINK
ABOUT THESE THINGS. WE WOULD BE ABLE TO SEE THE SCHEDULE OF INDIVIDUALS AND WHERE THEY GO AND WHAT TIME AND RECURRING AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE. WHAT POLICIES CAN WE PUT INTO
PLACE SO THERE IS NO POTENTIAL ABUSE OF THAT DATA AND WHO IS OVERSEEING YOU? WHO IS CHECKING AND BALANCING? >> WE ALREADY DO HAVE POLICIES AND AUDITS IN PLACE. WE ESTABLISHED THOSE WHEN WE INITIALLY GOT THE PRODUCT THREE
YEARS AGO. IT ALSO FALLS IN LINE WITH THE NORMAL ACCREDITATION AND POLICY PROCEDURES FOR OTHER DATABASES AS WELL. >> WHICH IS? LIKE WHAT? MAYBE WE'LL TALK OFFLINE LATER. >> I CAN GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE.
WE CONDUCT REGULAR AUDITS. AND WE GO THROUGH AND WE LOOK AT WHO IS LOOKING AT WHAT SO WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS NO MISUSE OF IT. BASICALLY WE CAN SEE EVERYTHING. WHO IS LOOKING AT WHAT AND WHEN
THEY'RE LOOKING AT IT AND IT IS A LARGE RESPONSIBILITY. THERE HAS TO BE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TRUST, BUT WE ALSO TAKE IT SERIOUSLY. >> IS THERE ANYBODY OUTSIDE OF THE DEPARTMENT THAT CAN LOOK AT THIS? JUST LIKE, FOR EXAMPLE, THE
COMMISSION IS ABLE TO REVIEW THE CITY MANAGER AND THE CITY ATTORNEY. WHAT POLICIES AND MAYBE IT IS A QUESTION FOR LEGAL TO SAY THERE IS SOMEBODY OVERSEEING OR
SOMEBODY THAT CAN BE, YEAH, JUST -- >> IF YOU WOULD LIKE ME TO LOOK AT A WAY TO HAVE SOME SORT OF OVERSIGHT, I DON'T THINK THE POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS A PROBLEM WITH THAT. WE JUST HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, THE THINGS WE'RE
INVESTIGATING ARE PROTECTED, BUT OTHERWISE I THINK EVERYBODY WOULD BE OPEN TO THAT. I DON'T THINK THERE'S A PROBLEM. >> JUST WANT TO ADD SOMETHING TO THAT BECAUSE YOU MENTION WHAT ARE THE DATABASES? CURRENTLY. EVIDENCE DOT COM THAT RUNS THE BODY CAMS, IN-CAR CAMERAS, THE DRONES. ALL THAT INFORMATION IS STORED
IN A CLOUD BASE STORAGE. AND WHEN THERE IS AUDIT TRAILS, ANYBODY WHO TOUCHES IT, OPENS IT UP AND LOOKS AT IT FOR HALF A SECOND, WE KNOW. AND WE DO AUDITS ON THAT. WE ALSO HAVE THROUGH OUR DRIVER'S LICENSE AND VEHICLE INFORMATION DATABASE CALLED DAVID, AND WE HAVE THE SAME TYPE
OF PROTOCOLS IN PLACE TO MAKE SURE IT IS BEING USED PROPERLY AND NOT BEING USED OUTSIDE THE ACTUAL REQUIRED STATE OF FLORIDA PROHIBITIONS. SO LUCKILY IN LAW ENFORCEMENT WE HAVE A LOT OF DATABASES THAT ARE HIGHLY RESTRICTED.
THERE ARE CONSTANT AUDIT TRAILS, AND WE HAVE PRETTY MUCH EVERY DATABASE WE HAVE IS A POLICY TO BE ATTACHED TO IT. >> AND MY UNDERSTANDING BASED ON A LITTLE RESEARCH THAT I WAS A TOIBL DO IS THAT ALL OF THESE VIDEOS WOULD BE -- WOULD NOT BE
SUBJECT TO PUBLIC RECORDS, CORRECT? UNLESS IT WAS PART OF AN INVESTIGATION. >> IT IS SUBJECT TO PUBLIC RECORD, YES. >> OKAY. >> WE ONLY RETAIN 30 DAYS, RIGHT? JUST LIKE MOST OF OUR BODY CAMS IS A GREAT EXAMPLE.
AND IF IT MEETS THE EXEMPTIONS UNDER AN ACTIVE CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION, NO, IT WOULD NOT BE RELEASED. IF IT IS JUST IN THERE AS NONCLASSIFIED INFORMATION, JUST LIKE A BODY CAM WOULD BE, IT IS SUBJECT TO PUBLIC DISCLOSURE. YES, ABSOLUTELY.
>> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. COMING UP, TOO, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A LOOK AT THE BUDGET. AND MY CONCERN IS THAT WHEN WE START SPENDING MONEY LIKE THIS, I KNOW COMMISSIONER, VICE MAYOR TURKIN MADE THE STATEMENT, YOU CANNOT PUT A PRICE ON THE VALUE OF LIFE. I HAVE UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO
SPEND, THAT IS A VALUE, AND I NEED TO KNOW, ARE WE ALREADY GOT MONEY ASIDE? AND IF SO, IF WE GET THIS SYSTEM, WILL IT INCREASE MANPOWER OR WILL WE LOOK AT DECREASING MANPOWER? >> TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, IT WILL BE EFFECTIVE IN THE NEXT
FISCAL YEAR. WE CURRENTLY DO SPEND CLOSE TO $300,000 WITH FLOCK. SO IT WOULD BE IN ADDITION TO. AND IT ALSO IS COMING OUT OF THE 103 ACCOUNT, SO THE DOLLARS THAT THE CITY RECEIVES FROM SCHOOL ZONE SPEED ENFORCEMENT CAMERAS
AND RED LIGHT CAMERAS ARE FUNDING THESE PROGRAMS. ADDITIONALLY, SCHOOL ZONE SPEED ENFORCEMENT CAMERAS FUNDS THE CROSSING GUARD PROGRAM. THE CITY RECEIVES AN ADDITIONAL $5 OF N.O.V. FOR THE SCHOOL
ZONES AND THE CROSSING GUARDS. SO NEXT YEAR THE ENTIRE CROSSING GUARD PROGRAM TO INCLUDE THE ADDITIONAL GUARD THAT WE ARE PUTTING OUT THERE WILL BE COVERED COMPLETELY WITH THE SCHOOL ZONE SPEED ENFORCEMENT CAMERA.
THE $440,000 EARMARKED FOR SCHOOL CROSSING GUARD CAMERAS IN OUR BUDGET COULD BE USED FOR THE ADDITIONAL MONIES IN FLOCK SAFETY. >> ALL RIGHT, CHIEF. YOU JUST MADE A STATEMENT ABOUT RED LIGHT CAMERAS. BROWARD COUNTY HAS STATED THAT RED LIGHT CAMERAS ARE ILLEGAL.
I AM JUST SAYING WHY SHOULD WE BE DEPENDING ON RED LIGHT CAMERA MONEY? I'M JUST SAYING WHEN WE MIGHT BE AFFECTED OURSELVES, I'M JUST SAYING. >> THE MONEY I'M SPEAKING OF ISMENT COING FROM THE SCHOOL ZONE SPEED ENFORCEMENT CAMERAS.
FOR EVERY VIOLATION $5 GOES TO THE CROSSING GUARD PROGRAM. IT GOES TO US SINCE WE RUN THE CROSSING GUARD PROGRAM. THE T CAN I WAS REFERENCING IS 103, WHICH IS -- THE ACCOUNT I WAS REFERENCING IS 103 WHICH IS WHERE THAT MONEY GETS DEPOSITED INTO. THE MONEY WE ARE TALKING ABOUT SPECIFICALLY IS MONEY THAT IS
BEING FILTERED BACK TO THE CITY THROUGH THE VIOLATIONS FOR THE SCHOOL ZONE SPEED ENFORCEMENT CAMERAS. >> THE RED LIGHT CAMERA -- LET ME MAKE SURE YOU ARE TELLING ME WHAT I HAVE TO DO -- HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS. >> IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH
THIS. >> PEOPLE TELL ME AND BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY BECAUSE I FOLLOW YOU. >> BEING COMPLETELY TRANSPARENT. THE MONEYS ARE FROM BOTH PROGRAMS GOING INTO THAT ACCOUNT, AND THAT IS THE ACCOUNT THE MONEY FOR THE FLOCK SAFETY COMES OUT OF. IT IS VIOLATOR BASED FUNDED PROGRAMS.
NOT COMING OUT OF THE GENERAL FUND. >> I HAVE, IF IT'S OKAY, UNLESS SOMEBODY ELSE WANTS TO GO. JUST LAST QUESTION. WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN -- AND THAT IS WHY I WANT TO GO TO THE REALTIME CRIME CENTER ON WEDNESDAY AND ACTUALLY SEE IT AND KIND OF GET SOME IDEA OF
WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE. BUT WE HAVE 29 FLOCK LICENSE PLATE READERS, BUT WE HAVE NO FLOCK CAMERAS AT THIS TIME, IS THAT CORRECT? >> YEAH, THAT IS CORRECT. INITIALLY THE CHIEF AND I ATTEMPTED TO USE THE CURRENT CAMERAS THAT WE HAVE IN THE CITY
AND EXPAND ON THAT. THEY WERE PLACED AND MAJOR INTERSECTIONS, FOR EXAMPLE, WOODBRIGHT AND CONGRESS, BOYNTON BEACH BOULEVARD AND CONGRESS, GATEWAY AND CONGRESS, FEDERAL HIGHWAY IN WOOLBRITE, SEACREST. PRETTY MUCH WE TRIED TO NAIL EVERY MAJOR INTERSECTION IN THE
CITY. THE PROBLEM IS THE RELIABILITIES OF THOSE SYSTEMS JUST CAN'T MATCH UP TO WHAT -- AND IT ALSO DRAINS ON OUR TECH SERVICE PERSONNEL AND HAVE TO GO OUT AN MAINTAIN THEM. SO BASICALLY WHAT WE'RE ASKING IS TO CHANGE THOSE CAMERAS TO
FLOCK CAMERAS, AND THEN ADD ADDITIONAL CAMERAS THROUGHOUT THE CITY. THOSE CAMERAS WILL PRIMARILY BE DEPLOYED IN -- ROADWAYS, MAJOR INTERSECTION, SHOPPING PLAZAS, THAT KIND OF THING. THERE IS NOT GOING TO BE ANY CAMERAS OR PRIVATE COMMUNITIES OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
IT IS THERE TO SUPPORT THE OPERATIONS ON THE MAJOR THOROUGHFARES AND SHOPPING PLAZAS. >> I GUESS THE REASON FOR ME ASKING THAT WAS, WHAT IS THE FOUNDATIONAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A FLOCK LICENSE PLATE READER AND
A FLOCK CAMERA? WHAT IS THE BIG DIFFERENCE? IT'S A FAIR QUESTION. >> OKAY. SO THE FLOCK LICENSE PLATE READERS TAKING, SIMPLY TAKING IMAGES. THAT IS ALL IT DOES. A COMPUTER THEN WILL -- WE CAN GO INTO THE COMPUTER AND THEN
TELL THE COMPUTER THIS IS WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR AND GIVES US THE IMAGES. THE DETECTIVES TAKE THE IMAGES AND CONTINUE TO USE OTHER DATABASES AND FOLLOW-UP ON INVESTIGATIONS. THE CAMERA IS A PAN TILLED ZOOM. SO I CAN PUT IT ON, FOR EXAMPLE,
WOOLBRIGHT AND CONGRESS, WHICH IS IN YOUR DISTRICT. IT'S SET OVERLOOKING THE INTERSECTION, BUT FOR EXAMPLE, IF SOMETHING HAPPENED AT THE GAS STATION ACROSS THE STREET, I CAN TURN THE CAMERA. I CAN ZOOM IN. I CAN SEE WHAT'S GOING ON. IF SOMEWHERE TO CALL 911 AND SAY, HEY, SOMEBODY IS STEALING
SOMETHING. SOMETHING HAPPENED. WE CAN BE THERE WITHIN 10 SECONDS LOOKING AND SEEING WHAT THE IMAGERY IS RELAYING TO THE OFFICERS. >> AN I CAN SEE HOW THAT CAN BE MORE EFFECTIVE AND MORE EFFICIENT FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT. OKAY. THANK YOU.
>> Mayor: OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM MY COLLEAGUES? >> MAYOR, REAL QUICK. ONE THING THAT WAS BROUGHT UP ALSO DURING PUBLIC COMMENT AND IT WASN'T TALKED ABOUT, SO I FIGURED THE LAST THING THAT WAS THE CONCERN OF THE PUBLIC WAS AUDIO RECORDING AND IF THESE
CAMERAS ARE AUDIO ADAPTABLE, WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE. >> THE CAMERA THEMSELVES ARE NOT AUDIO ADAPTABLE. THEY ARE SIMPLY THERE TO RECORD VIDEO. THAT'S IT. >> OKAY. SO WE'RE NOT TOTALLY EAVESDROPPING ON PEOPLE'S
BACKYARDS. >> I THINK THE INFERENCE WAS THE SHOT DETECTION SYSTEM. SO WE CAN SET THE SHOT DETECTION SYSTEM TO NOTIFY US WHEN THERE'S FIREWORKS, IF THERE'S DRAG RACING, AND IF THERE'S SHOTS FIRE. AND I CAN -- WE HAVE MORE THAN
ENOUGH DATA. I CAN SHOW YOU ALL THE THINGS AND BASICALLY TRIING ANULATES THE POSITION AND OFFICERS RESPOND TO THE SCENE IN A QUICK MANNER, WHICH IS WHAT YOU WANT.
>> THANK YOU. AND I THINK COMMISSIONER MCCRAY, YOU BRIEFLY, AND I THINK THIS WAS WHAT YOU WERE TRYING TO GET AT, AND ACTUALLY, I HAVE SPOKEN TO LEGAL LAST WEEK WHEN IT CAME OUT IN BROWARD COUNTY. THERE WAS A CASE WHERE A WOMAN, SHE GOT A RED LIGHT CAMERA.
SHE TOOK IT ALL THE WAY -- JUST TO THE CIRCUIT JUDGE. AND IT STILL HAS A LOT OF MOVEMENT TO MAKE IT THROUGH IF IT GETS APPEALED, AND THEN TO SEE IF THAT JUDGE'S DECISION REALLY HOLDS TRUE.
BUT THERE IS A CONCERN THAT IF IN OUR ENVIRONMENT NOW, IF THAT ORDER IS UPHELD AND RED LIGHT CAMERAS ARE DEEMED TO BE UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND WE HAVE TO RE-EVALUATE OUR SYSTEM, WHERE
THEN OR WHAT IS YOUR -- AND THIS IS LIKE IN THINKING YEARS DOWN THE LINE AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT A 10-YEAR CONTRACT, IT IS SOMETHING WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT. AND THIS CASE LAW MAY TAKE FOUR YEARS BEFORE YOU GET THROUGH AN APPEALS COURT AND SUPREME COURT
AND ALL THAT IF THAT IS WHAT IT GOES DOWN. AND WHAT, THEN, IS THE CONTINGENCY PLAN WHEN THAT FUNDING SOURCE IS GONE? AND SO THAT WAS COMMISSIONER MCCRAY'S POINT IS WE ARE DEPENDING ON THIS INCOME AND
WE'RE DEPENDING ON THE SCHOOL ZONE CAMERAS. THERE'S ALSO LEGISLATION THAT'S PENDING UP IN TALLAHASSEE ON THE SCHOOL ZONE CAMERAS WHERE THEY MIGHT CHANGE THE TIMING, WHICH MAY CHANGE POTENTIALLY THAT FUNDING SOURCE AS WELL TO THE
CITY. AND I THINK THAT GOING INTO THIS BECAUSE IT IS A 10-YEAR CONTRACT, AND IT IS A BIG TICKET, THERE ARE -- I HAVE CONCERNS WITH WHERE THAT FUNDING SOURCE WOULD COME FROM AND WHAT THE CONTINGENCY PLAN IS ESPECIALLY WITH THE SCHOOL AND
MORE CONCERNING WITH THE SCHOOL ZONE CAMERA LEGISLATION THAT IS PENDING SITTING ON THE GOVERNOR'S DESK RATE WAITING TO BE SIGNED THAT RESTRICTS THE TIMING OF THE CAMERAS. IF YOU CAN TOUCH ON THAT. >> ABSOLUTELY. SO OBVIOUSLY A HUGE CONCERN, RIGHT, IF WE LOSE THE SCHOOL
ZONE SPEED ENFORCEMENT CAMERAS, NOT JUST FOR THE REVENUE, BUT OBVIOUSLY FOR THE PRESENCE ALONE. WE SEE IN OUR CITY THE REDUCTION OF CRASHES BECAUSE OF RED LIGHT CAMERAS.
BUT WE HAVE TO ADAPT IT TO AND IN THE SHORT TERM WE DO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK FOR GRANTS, BUT MORE SPECIFICALLY, WE HAVE MONEY FROM FORFEITURE. WE DO HAVE MONIES FROM DONATION ACCOUNTS. WE HAVE OUR POLICE IMPACT FEE, WHICH DEPENDING ON WHAT SPECIFICALLY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
IN THEIR CONTRACT CAN BE USED, FOR EXAMPLE, THE DRONE CAN BE USED FOR THE PURCHASE OF IT BECAUSE THAT IS A CAPITAL EXPENSE. SO IT BECOMES THOSE ALTERNATE SOURCES OF REVENUE, BUT ALTERNATE SOURCE OF DOLLARS THAT WILL HELP US TO SUSTAIN THAT. BUT TO BE QUITE FRANK WITH YOU
ALL IS IF WE DID LOSE BOTH THOSE PROGRAMS, THERE WOULD BE A LOT MORE PROBLEMS THAN TRYING TO FUND THE FLOCK PROGRAM. >> ALL RIGHT. AND SO TO THAT POINT, CHIEF, WHAT IN THIS AGREEMENT IS -- BARRING, LET'S SAY, IT IS OUT OF
OUR CONTROL, RIGHT? OUT OF OUR CONTROL. RED LIGHT CAMERAS ARE GONE. THERE IS SOME RESTRICTION ON CAMERAS OR WHATEVER. WHAT IS OUR FAIL-SAFE IN THIS AGREEMENT THAT GIVES US THE ABILITY TO MODIFY OR CANCEL IF
IT COMES DOWN TO WE'RE A CITY WHO CAN NO LONGER DO THIS. THIS IS NO LONGER A PRIORITY BECAUSE WE HAVE LOST FUNDING, LOST RED LIGHT CAMERA FUNDING, LOST SCHOOL ZONE FUNDING CAMERA. I SEE SHAWNA RAISING HER FINGER
LIKE SHE HAS AN ANSWER, TOO, SO I AM HAPPY TO HEAR FROM BOTH, THOUGH. I WANT TO KNOW FROM BOTH FLOCK AS WELL AS FROM OUR LEGAL TEAM WHAT IS OUR PROTECTION WHEN IT COMES TO THIS? >> GOOD EVENING. STACY WINEGARDEN, DEPUTY CITY
ATTORNEY. WITH RESPECT TO THE MULTI-YEAR CONTRACT, UNDER FLORIDA LAW, MUNICIPALITIES ARE ABLE TO ENTER INTO MULTI-YEAR AGREEMENTS, BUT THEY ARE CONTINGENT UPON ANNUAL APPROPRIATION OF FUNDING. SO IF IN THE FUTURE RED LIGHT CAMERAS OR THAT FUNDING SOURCE
IS ELIMINATED, THE FLORIDA CONSTITUTION HAS PROVISIONS RELATED TO MUNICIPAL INDEBTEDNESS AND IF WE DO NOT APPROPRIATE FUNDING FOR THIS PURPOSE, THEN THAT CAN BE ADDRESSED CONTRACTUALLY. >> OKAY, THANK YOU.
BUT WHAT -- IF THAT HAPPEN -- AND I AM SAYING THIS BECAUSE I THINK I HAD THIS CONVERSATION WITH JOHN. WHO, THEN, IS ON THE HOOK FOR THE REMOVAL OF ALL OF THE EQUIPMENT? IF THAT HAPPENS. I MEAN, THIS IS IN A COMPLETE, LIKE, I DON'T ANTICIPATE THIS
HAPPENING. I DON'T ANTICIPATE THE CITY EVER BEING IN A PREDICAMENT LIKE THIS, BUT WHO PAYS THAT BILL TO UNDO IT ALL AND HOW DOES THAT WORK? >> THAT WOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE CONTRACT.
IF YOU DON'T RENEW AT SOME POINT, WE COME OUT AND TAKE OUR TECHNOLOGY AND CAMERAS BACK AT NO COST TO YOU. >> OKAY. THANK YOU. >> Mayor: OKAY. THANK YOU, EVERYONE. >> GREAT QUESTIONS. >> Mayor: FANTASTIC
PRESENTATION. >> I HAVE ONE QUESTION. BACK TO THE ACCESS FOR REVIEW. SO WALK ME THROUGH ON WHO HAS THE ACCESS WHO REVIEW THIS, HOW MANY PEOPLE, WHAT'S DONE WHEN
THERE IS A TRANSITION OR WITH THE TURNOVER AND SHIFT WITH THE PROMOTIONS AND EVERY SO OFTEN GET THE PEOPLE IN DIFFERENT ROLES. AND I KNOW THERE IS AUDITS IN EVERYTHING AND COMMISSIONER CRUZ BROUGHT UP A GREAT POINT ABOUT
WHO AUDITS THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. AND I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES TO DO MONITORING WITH THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE, AND TO RELY ON SOME OF
THE POTENTIAL PROCESSES, BUT INTERNALLY, WHO -- WHAT IS THE PROCESS OF IDENTIFYING WHO GETS THE ACCESS? AND WHY THEY GET THE ACCESS? AND IF THAT IS SOMETHING WE'RE LOOKING AT KEEPING WITH WITHIN
THE RTCC AND KEEPING THE SAME INDIVIDUALS AND A CONTINUING REVOLVING DOOR ON THAT AK SES? DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? >> SO THE ACCESS YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT CAN TAKE SEVERAL DIFFERENT FORMS. AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE SINGLE PLATED GLASS THAT WE HAVE, THE FLOCK OPERATING SYSTEM ON, IT
ESSENTIALLY IS THE MAP OF THE CITY. WITHIN THAT MAP OF THE CITY ARE ICONS OF CAMERAS AND LICENSE PLATE READERS AND SHOT DETECTION SYSTEMS. FOR EXAMPLE, IF WE HAVE AN OFFICER ON THE STREET OR SUPERVISOR IN THE STATION WANTED
TO LOOK BEYOND JUST REAL TIME CRIME CENTER LOOKING AT THE CAMERAS, WHICH MAY HAPPEN IN THE OFF HOURS BETWEEN 1:00 AND 7:00 WHEN THE REALTIME CRIME SENTER IS NOT MANNED, A SERGEANT COULD GO ON THERE AND LOOK. OPEN UP ONE OF THE VIDEO CAMERAS
AND ACT AS A MINI REALTIME CRIME CENTER. THEY CAN LOOK AND SEE THE VIDEO IMAGES OR TYPE A LICENSE PLATE IN OR WHATEVER. AT THE BASIC LEVEL, ALL SWORN PERSONNEL HAVE THE ACCESS TO INCLUDE DISPATCHERS. SO IF DISPATCHER IS UP THERE,
YOU CAN IMAGINE OFFICER IN A CAR RESPONDING TO THE SCENE, A DISPATCHER HAS THE TIME AND DESKTOP AND LARGE MONITOR AND CAN LOOK AT ALL THOSE THINGS AND RELAY THAT INFORMATION TO OFFICERS. YOU HAVE OFFICERS. YOU HAVE DISPATCHERS. AND THEN YOU HAVE CRIME ANALYSTS.
THOSE ARE THE ONLY INDIVIDUALS IN OUR AGENCY AT THIS TIME THAT HAVE AK SES. >> HOW OFTEN HAVE THOSE AUDITED CONDUCTED? AND THEN IF THERE WAS REASONING FOR ANY FOUL PLAY, NEFARIOUS
ACTIVITY, IS THAT SOMETHING THAT TRIGERS AN I.A. INVESTIGATION? OR DOES THAT GET OUTSOURCED TO THE DIFFERENT DEPARTMENT FOR ACCOUNTABILITY PURPOSES? I THINK THAT IS THE CONCERN IS -- I DOUBT THIS WILL HAPPEN, BUT
ALL IT TAKES IS ONE PERSON TO GET UPSET AT COMMISSIONER TURKIN, COMMISSIONER CRUZ, MAYOR, AND NOW YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO X, Y, AND Z LET ALONE CITY STAFF AND RESIDENTS WHO HAVE AN ISSUE WITH AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS
ISN'T TAKEN LIGHTLY AND THAT ABUSE OF THE SYSTEM -- I HATE TO SAY THIS, BUT I HAVE TO INSTILL FEAR OF THE ABUSE OF THE SYSTEM. IT IS MY ONLY HESITATION. OUTSIDE OF THAT, I'M GOOD TO GO. I'LL MAKE A MOTION.
I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE -- I DON'T WANT TO SAY PUNISHMENT, BUT THE RESPONSES -- THE RESPONSES -- >> ACCOUNTABILITY. >> IT IS NOT JUST A SLAP ON THE WRIST. WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS I.A. FOR FOUR TO SIX WEEKS AND FIGURE IT OUT. NO, IF THAT PERSON IS
MALICIOUSLY UTILIZING TAXPAYER DOLLARS TO DO ANYTHING NEFARIOUS OR WITH MALICIOUS INTENT, IT IS TREATED APPROPRIATELY. >> ABSOLUTELY. LIKE I MENTIONED EARLIER, HAVING
SENSITIVE DATA AND A LOT OF CONSEQUENCES WHEN THEY MISUSED THE DATA. >> AND WHEN IT COMES TO INTERNAL AFFAIRS AND CRIMINAL CHARGES AND
ACCESSING IT FOR PERSONAL REASONS. THAT IS OBVIOUSLY PROHIBITED IN ALL THE DATABASES TO INCLUDE THE NCIC, FCIC, AND DATA AND DRIVERS AND SO THOSE CONSEQUENCES COME WITH THAT ACCESS THAT THEY ALREADY HAVE.
SO BASICALLY JUST BE INCLUDING ANOTHER DATABASE THAT IF USED INAPPROPRIATELY WOULD BE SUBJECTED TO INTERNAL AFFAIRS INVESTIGATION, AND LIKE I MENTION, DEPENDS ON THE SEVERE RETALIATION OR CRIMINAL CHARGE. >> THE ONLY DIFFERENCE THAT I
WANT TO -- YOU MADE EXCELLENT POINTS. VERY GOOD. THE LAST POINT I WANT TO MAKE IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE DATABASES THAT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT IS USING AND THIS ONE WOULD BE THAT WOULD BE THAT THE OTHER ONE SPECIFICALLY TARGETING A SPECIFIC LICENSE PLATE. THIS WOULD BE ABLE TO RECORD
EVERYBODY THAT GOES ON THE ROAD. THAT'S WHY IT CREATES THAT OPEN CAN OF WORMS. THAT IS WHY I THINK WE'RE BEING A LITTLE BIT MORE STRINGENT THAN WE USUALLY ARE WITH THIS. >> WE CURRENTLY HAVE LPR, SO THAT SAME INFORMATION AND DATA IS REALLY --
>> AND THE RED LIGHT CAMERAS. >> THAT CAPTURES BASICALLY THE SAME AND THE SCHOOL ZONE. SO WE'RE CAPTURING VERY SIMILAR INFORMATION. AND NOTHING THAT WE'RE GETTING IN THE CITY THAT WE JUST HAVE. >> IT'S JUST MORE. >> IT'S JUST MORE, CORRECT.
>> I WANTED TO ADD AS WELL WHEN A DETECTIVE OR OFFICER IS DOING THE SEARCH INSIDE THE SYSTEM, AND THEY HAVE TO HAVE A CASE NUMBER AND REASON FOR THAT RESEARCH. AND A LOT OF PARAMETERS BEFORE THEY CAN HIT THE BUTTON TO PULL SOMETHING. WHEN THEY PULL THE AUDIT LOGS,
THEY CAN SEE WHY THE DETECTIVE WAS PROPOSALING IT, IFFER WHAT REASON, AND WHAT CASE IT WAS TIED TO AS WELL. >> Mayor: OKAY. I THINK WE HAVE DISCUSSED THIS ENOUGH. >> YES, FOR THE RECORD, I WOULD LIKE TO REVIEW THE CONTRACT WITH CITY LEGAL BEFORE I VOTE ON
THIS. BUT I THINK A LOT OF OUR CONCERNS ARE BEING RESPONDED TO IN A FAVORABLE WAY. BUT THERE'S A FEW THINGS THAT I WANT TO TALK TO LEGAL ABOUT BEFORE I MOVE FORWARD AT LEAST FOR ME. AGAIN, THIS WAS ADDED TODAY AT
THE AGENDA AROUND LUNCHTIME, AND I DIDN'T HAVE THE TIME. I GET OFF WORK AT 5:00 AND DROVE STRAIGHT HERE. >> I'M OKAY TO MOVE FORWARD. I WILL GO AHEAD AND MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM 7G.
>> Mayor: DO WE HAVE A SECOND? OKAY. MOTION DIES. >> JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, DO
YOU WANT TO TABLE IT OR DIE? >> MOTION TO TABLE -- >> TABLE IT TO NEXT MEETING. >> WE NEED A MOTION. >> MOTION TO TABLE TO THE NEXT MEETING. >> APRIL 2. >> APRIL 2>> Mayor: WE HAVE A MOTION TO TABLE AND A SECOND. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. ALL THOSE OPPOSED SAY NAY.
MOTION PASSES 4-1. MOVING ON, WE HAVE SEVERAL PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS AND ITEMS 8A-D RELATED TO THE MEMORIAL PROPERTY AT 201 NORTHWEST WILL

WHICH WERE TABLED AT THE LAST MEETING UNTIL THE SECOND READING OF THE COMPANION REZONING ORDINANCES. IF THERE IS NOTHING ELSE, MAY WE HAVE A MOTION TO REMOVE ITEMS 8C AND D FROM THE TABLE? >> SO MOVED. >> Mayor: DO WE HAVE A SECOND? >> WAIT A MINUTE. THERE IS ANOTHER ONE.
YOU SAID C AND D. BUT C AND D -- SECOND. >> WE HAVE A MOTION AND WE HAVE A SECOND TO REMOVE ITEMS 8C AND D FROM THE TABLE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. ALL THOSE OPPOSED SAY NAY. MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. I WILL TURN TO TO THE CLERK TO
SWEAR IN ANYONE TO SPEAK ON ITEMS 8B THROUGH D. >> ANYONE HERE TO SPEAK ON 8B, 8C, AND 8D, PLEASE STAND UP AND RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND. DO YOU SWEAR OR AFFIRM THAT THE EVIDENCE YOU ARE ABOUT TO GIVE WILL BE THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE
TRUTH, AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH? PLEASE BE SEATED. >> Mayor: IF EACH COMMISSIONER CAN MAKE ANY DISCLOSURES AT THIS TIME, WE WILL START WITH VICE MAYOR TURKIN. >> I HAVE NONE.
>> Mayor: COMMISSIONER KELLEY? >> REGARDING THESE ITEMS, I HAVE NOT HAD ANY EXPARTE COMMUNICATION. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED WRITTEN COMMUNICATION. I HAVE NOT CONDUCTED AN INVESTIGATION. I HAVE NOT MADE A SITE VISIT. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY OPINION.
>> Mayor: COMMISSIONER MCCRAY? >> I MET WITH THEM PRIOR TO TO ME BECOMING A COMMISSIONER, DO I HAVE TO SAY I HAD ANYTHING? SHAWNA? >> JUST REGULAR CITIZEN.

I KNOW. THAT IS A LOT. THIS IS THE FIRST READING FOR THIS ITEM. STAFF, DO YOU HAVE A PRESENTATION? >> YES, WE DO. WHILE THAT DOES SEEM LIKE SEVERAL CHANGE, IT IS COVERING THREE TOPICS, SO WE'LL GO THROUGH THE PRESENTATION.
AGAIN, THE OVERVIEW ON THIS, THE UPDATES FOR LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS ARE TO REMAIN VARIOUS SECTIONS OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS IN ORDER TO, ONE, REMOVE REFERENCES TO THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD THAT IS NO LONGER A CITY ADVISORY BOARD. AND UPDATING LANGUAGE AND CODE. MODIFY OFF-STREET PARKING
REQUIREMENTS TO ALLOW FOR ADDITIONAL SURFACE AREA WHEN CERTAIN PERMEABLE MATERIALS ARE BEING USED. AND REMOVE CERTAIN FEE AND DEPOSIT REQUIREMENTS FOR TEMPORARY FEATHER BANNER SIGN. THE NEXT COUPLE OF SLIDES GO INTO MORE DETAIL. IN THE FIRST AMENDMENT IN
ATTACHMENT ONE IS REMOVE THE REFERENCES FROM THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD WHICH WAS REMOVED IN 2023, YET MANY PLACES IN THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS STILL INCLUDED THIS REFERENCE, SO THIS IS A CLEANUP OF THOSE ITEM. THE AMENDMENTS IN ATTACHMENT 2
RELATED TO DRIVEWAYS AND OTHER IMPERVIOUS PURPOSES FOR SINGLE FAMILY AND TWO-FAMILY DWELLING UNITS. IT DOES ALLOW FOR CERTAIN PERCENTAGES TO BE PERMEABLE SURFACE UP TO AN ADDITIONAL 55%. THIS SAYS 50. BUT I WILL DOUBLE CHECK. AND LANGUAGE TO I A DRESS THE
IRREGULAR SHAPED LOTS. OFTEN TIMES YOU MIGHT HAVE A WIDE OR NARROW DRIVEWAY DEPENDING IF YOU ARE A CUL-DE-SAC AND THIS CLARIFIES THAT WE WOULD USE THE AVERAGE WIDTH OF THE LOT. THE AMENDMENTS IN ATTACHMENT 3 TO REMOVE FEE AND DEPOSIT REQUIREMENTS FOR TEMPORARY
FEATHER BANNER SIGNS THAT ARE ADDRESSED THROUGH THE PERMITTING PROCESS. IT IS A STRUGGLE FOR STAFF TO DO THE COLLECTION OF THE FEE THAT CAN BE REFUNDED IN A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME AND OFTEN ISN'T SOUGHT AND SIX MONTHS LATER THEY WILL TRY TO SEEK IT WHEN IT IS NO LONGER APPLICABLE.
AND STAFF DOES RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THESE AMENDMENTS TO THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS. >> THANK YOU. IN REGARDS TO FEATHER BANNER, HOW LONG CAN THEY STAY OUT? I KNOW TEMPORARY. BUT HOW LONG CAN A PERSON KEEP A FEATHER BANNER OUTSIDE?
>> 30 DAYS CURRENTLY. AND HOW THEY HAVE BEEN AFTER THAT 30-DAY MARK, THEY SUBMIT EVIDENCE THAT THEY HAVE BEEN REMOVED AND GET AN EARE FUND. HOWEVER, MOST OF THEM DON'T DO THAT, SO IT IS A CODE ENFORCEMENT CASE ANYWAY. >> 30 DAYS, THANK YOU.
>> Mayor: ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS BEFORE WE GO TO PUBLIC COMMENT? OKAY. PUBLIC COMMENT. IF ANYBODY WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK,
PLEASE COME DOWN. >> THANK YOU, MR. MCCRAY FOR ASKING ABOUT THE SURVEILLANCE PROGRAM.
IT SEEMS LIKE SOMETIMES THINGS ARE SUGGESTED AND I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY EVER THINKS ABOUT IT OR JUST ACCEPTS IT ANYWAY. IN THIS PART I WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT RIGHT-OF-WAY PERMIT, WHAT IT MEANS. YOU MAY KNOW, BUT I WOULD LIKE
TO KNOW WHAT IT MEANS. AND MODIFY OFF-STREET PARKING STANDARDS. BECAUSE OF WHAT'S GOING ON IN BOYNTON BEACH AND I AM AFFECTED BECAUSE I'M GOING TO HAVE TO. AND ALSO, THE WIDTH OF THE LOT. BECAUSE I'M GOING TO HAVE TO ADD A DRIVEWAY BECAUSE I HAVE A
SIDEWALK AND I HAVE A REGULAR -- I CAN'T PARK DOUBLE. SO I'M GOING TO HAVE AN ADDITIONAL SIDE SWALE AREA, MY SIDE AREA OF MY PROPERTY. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW THIS IS GOING TO AFFECT ME. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT MEANS. BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO ADD DRIVEWAYS
BECAUSE OF THE NEW RULINGS. >> Mayor: IS THERE SOMEONE FROM STAFF THAT CAN PLEASE ASSIST? >> THINKABLE -- I BELIEVE THIS HELPS WITH THAT IS MY UNDERSTANDING. IT MAKES IT EASIER. >> CURRENTLY CODE REQUIRES A MAXIMUM OF 40% OF YOUR FRONT
YARD COVERAGE. AND PLANNING AND ZONING IS LOOKING AT THAT DRIVEWAY PERMIT FROM THE FRONT PROPERTY LINE TO THE SETBACK OF THE ZONING DESIGNATION AND THE WIDTH OF THE LOT. A STANDARD PLATTED LOT IS 75 FOOT WIDE. THE 25 FOOT SETBACK AND THAT IS WHERE WE CALCULATE THE FRONT
YARD AREA. AND CURRENTLY THAT'S ONLY WHEN WE HAVE A MECH MAXIMUM OF 40%. IF YOU CAN HAVE PERMEABLE MATERIAL BEING PAVERS OR SOMETHING ELSE, YOU CAN GET UP TO THE ADDITIONAL -- I BELIEVE IT WAS 55%, SO I WANT TO DOUBLE
CHECK THE NUMBER. >> IT IS 55. >> THE REASON THAT WAS SELECTED IS DOING THE MATH IS A 10 FOOT BY 25 FOOT SQUARE FOOT AREA, WHICH IS STANDARD PARKING LOT OR PARKING STALL, EXCUSE ME. SO WE DID DO THE MATH ON THAT ONE TO MAKE SURE WE WEREN'T TRYING TO MAKE AN ARBITRARY
NUMBER, BUT 55% TO I A LOU FOR THAT INCREASE. ONE WIDTH OF THE CAR ON THE PROPERTY THAT SOMEBODY CAN DO WITHOUT GOING OVER THOSE REQUIREMENTS AND STILL MEETING ALL THE INTENDED CODE. >> Mayor: THANK YOU. IF YOU DO HAVE ANY OTHER
QUESTIONS, WE CAN ACTUALLY HAVE MS. -- I'M SORRY. WE CAN HAVE SOMEBODY SIT DOWN AND TALK TO YOU IN PERSON. >> THANK YOU. >> Mayor: ANY OTHER PUBLIC COMMENT AT THIS TIME? IF NOTHING ELSE, DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO I A PROVED PROPOSED ORDINANCE 26-010? >> SO MOVED.
>> SECOND. >> Mayor: WE HAVE A MOTION AND SECOND. CLERK FOR THE VOTE. >> COMMISSIONER KELLEY, YES. VICE MAYOR TURKIN, YES. >> COMMISSIONER CRUZ, YES. COMMISSIONER MCCRAY, YES. MAYOR SHELTON, YES.
>> ROLL CALL VOTE T MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. >> Mayor: ITEM 8K. >> PROPOSED ORDINANCE 26-011, FIRST READING AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER
3, ARTICLE, SECTION 5, BUILDING AND SITE REGULATIONS AND CHAPTER 4, ARTICLE VI, SECTION 6 TO HISTORIC PRESERVATION REQUIREMENTS TO REMOVE ALL REFERENCES TO POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT SITES AND THE LIST OF POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT SITES, PROVIDING FOR CODIFICATION, CONFLICTS,
SEVERABILITY, AND EFFECTIVE DATE. >> Mayor: ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? OR STAFF, DO YOU HAVE A PRESENTATION? >> YES, WE HAVE A PRESENTATION. >> SO THIS IS FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION LDR AMENDMENTS AND I WILL GO INTO MORE DETAIL OF WHAT THEY ARE AND WHAT THEY ARE NOT.
WHAT STAFF IS PROPOSING IS TO REMOVE CURRENTLY IN CODE THROUGH IF YOU HAVE BEEN ABLE TO LOOK AT THE STRIKE THROUGH LANGUAGE, AND ONE AREA CALLS OUT LIST OF POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT SITES. IN ANOTHER AREA IT CALLS IT POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT SITES. AND SO THE STATED LANGUAGE TREATS ANY SITE THAT WOULD BE ON
THOSE LISTS AS PART OF THAT WHAT A HISTORICALLY DESIGNATED STRUCTURE WOULD BE, MEANING THAT IF THEY ARE TRYING TO DO A DEMO PERMIT, THEY ARE SUBJECT TO THE SAME STANDARDS AS A HISTORICALLY DESIGNATED STRUCTURE. STAFF WANTS TO EMPHASIZE THIS PROPOSAL IS NOT IN ANY WAY TO
REMOVE ANY SUCH LIST OF POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT SITES FROM THE CITY. NOR IS IT TO REMOVE HISSER TO CAL DESIGNATIONS WITHIN THE CITY. THIS IS ONLY TO REMOVE THIS LANGUAGE WITHIN LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS THAT ANY OF THE PROPERTIES THAT HAVE NOT SOUGHT
HISTORIC DESIGNATION IS NOT SUBJECT TO THE SAME RULES AND GUIDELINES AS A STRUCTURE THAT HAS BEEN DESIGNATED. AGAIN T ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS ON A PROPERTY OWNER WHO DOES NOT INTEND TO SEEK THE DESIGNATION POSES FOR THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF PROPERTY OWNERS SUCH AS REDEVELOPMENT, DEMO PURPOSE, THINGS LIKE THAT.
BECAUSE THE CODE CURRENTLY REQUIRES A POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT OR ON THIS LIST OF POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT SITES TO COMPLY, CERTAIN HISTORIC PRESERVATION REGULATIONS, THEY CAN INADVERTENTLY APPLY TO THE PROPERTY OWNERS. SOME CASES IT CAN ACTUALLY HURT
THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT TO BE ABLE TO KT A -- TO BE ABLE TO ACT ON UNSAFE BUILDINGS. AND WE ARE PROPOSING TO REMOVE THIS FROM THE LDR TO REINFORCE THE CITY'S DIRECTION FROM THE
2024 HEARING THAT PROPERTY OWNERS SHOULD SEEK OUT THEIR HISTORIC DESIGNATION AND THE CITY NOT IMPOSING AN I EDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS ON HOUSES OR STRUCTURES THAT DO NOT WISH TO SEEK IT. AND PROPERTIES THAT ARE MERELY IDENTIFIED ON THIS POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT SHOULD NOT BE
SUBJECT TO THOSE ADDITIONAL GUIDELINES AND REQUIREMENTS. STAFF DOES CONTINUE TO EDUCATE AND ALLOW AND PROMOTE THAT PATH TO BECOME HISSER TOICLY DESIGNATED -- TO BECOME HISTORICALLY DESIGNATED IF THE
PROPERTY OWNER DESIRES. STAFF RECOMMEND THIS IS CHANGE AND TO ASSURE THIS IS NOT AN E REMOVAL OF HISTORICAL, BUT POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT VERSUS A HISTORICALLY DESIGNATED BUILDING OR STRUCTURE. >> Mayor: ANY QUESTIONS OR
COMMENTS FROM THE COMMISSION? PUBLIC COMMENT IS NOW OPEN. IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK, PLEASE COME DOWN. IF THERE IS NOTHING ELSE, MAY WE HAVE A MOTION TO I A PROVE PROPOSED ORDINANCE 26-011 ON THE
FIRST READING? >> OKAY. WE DO NOT HAVE A MOTION. AND THAT IS IT. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY FINAL COMMENTS?
>> YES, YES, YES. IN REGARD TO CITY MANAGER'S REPORT, OKAY, WE HAVE A CITY MANAGER, A DEPUTY CITY MANAGER, AND TWO ASSISTANT CITY MANAGERS. AND I FEEL LIKE THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO BRING A REPORT BACK TO THIS BODY FOR THE PUBLIC TO HEAR
ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THEIR DEPARTMENTS. WE HAVE TOO MANY DEPARTMENTS THAT NEED TO BE PRESENTED. AND DON'T HAVE TO BE AT THE END. I'M JUST SAYING WHEN WE PAY MONEY FOR CITY MANAGERS THAT WE'RE PAYING, THEY SHOULD HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY TO US.
I'M SORRY, I JUST CAN'T SIT UP HERE AND SAY, YOU KNOW -- >> AN I'M GLAD YOU BROUGHT THAT UP BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN ASKING THAT TIME AND TIME AGAIN. AND IT DOESN'T HAPPEN OR DOESN'T GET ON THERE. I DON'T EVEN CARE IF IT'S ONE SLIDE. >> THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. >> GIVE US SOMETHING. PEOPLE ARE MAKING HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS A YEAR.
>> YES. >> GIVE ME SOMETHING. AND EVEN IF THAT'S A LEGAL UPDATE. EVEN IF THAT'S FROM PUBLIC WORK. EVEN IF WE PAVED THIS ROAD, WE PAVED THAT ROAD. WE RENEWED THIS PARK. THAT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW. IT ALSO BECOMES MEMORIALIZED ON
OUR WEBSITE AND ON YOUTUBE. AND SO IF PEOPLE WANT TO GO BACK AND DO RESEARCH OR FOR THE CITY'S SAKE TO SAY THEY COMPLETED SOMETHING, THEN THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO PULL THAT FROM THE RECORD. IS THAT ALWAYS YOU HAD, COMMISSIONER MCCRAY? >> THANK YOU. I AN EM GLAD YOU SAID SOMETHING
BECAUSE I ATTEND THE CHAMBER AND THE GENTLEMAN THAT IS SITTING AT THAT DOES A -- RIGHT THERE. HE DID AN EXCELLENT REPORT IN LESS THAN 5 MINUTES. I AM JUST SAYING SOMETHING LIKE THAT NEEDS TO FIND OUT WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH PUBLIC WORKS. WHO PICKED UP THE TRASH? I'M JUST SAYING THIS IS WHAT PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW THIS IS HOW
WE'RE SPENDING YOUR MONEY. >> AN AGREED. AND THEN THE OTHER THING IS, I DON'T KNOW, IT WASN'T ON THIS AGENDA. ARE THEY GOING TO DO IN IT APRIL WITH ALL THE ADDITIONAL BOARD APPOINTMENTS? WITH COBRA, THE NPO, AND ALL THOSE OTHER THINGS? IS THAT IN APRIL?
OKAY. ALL RIGHT. >> I HAVE ONE FUTURE AGENDA ITEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDED, AND THAT IS ALL PLAYGROUNDS HERE IN THIS CITY, PLEASE GIVE US AN UPDATE SAFETY RECORD ON ALL OF THEM. I AM JUST SAYING AND I DON'T NEED YOU TO WAIT UNTIL A COUPLE OF WEEKS DOWN THE ROAD.
THIS CAN BE DONE AT THE NEXT COMMISSION MEETING BECAUSE THE LAW STATES THAT YOU NEED TO HAVE IT ANYWAY. SO I EXPECT TO HAVE ONE NEXT TIME WE HAVE COMMISSION MEETING. >> COMMISSIONER, WE MAY HAVE SOME EXISTING SAFETY REPORTS. WE DO HAVE A NEW RISK MANAGER AND I KNOW THAT IS ONE OF THE
THINGS THEY HAVE BEEN DOING. BUT I WILL CERTAINLY WORK WITH HIM TO EITHER GET YOU THE ONES WE HAVE OR GET THE ONES UPDATED. >> NOT ONLY FOR ME, SHAWNA, BUT FOR EVERYBODY SITTING UP HERE. THEY NEED TO KNOW IT. >> Mayor: OKAY. ANY OTHER FINAL COMMENTS FOR
TONIGHT? MOTION TO ADJOURN. >> WE HAVE A MOTION AND SECOND. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. ALL THOSE OPPOSED SAY NAY. MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. WITH NO FURTHER BUSINESS TO DISCUSS, THE MEETING IS
ADJOURNED AT 9:10 P.M.
