THANK YOU. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER KELLEY? >> NO, I DO NOT HAVE ANY, THANK YOU, MAYOR. >> MAYOR: COMMISSIONER TURKEN? >> THANK YOU, MAYOR, JUST A COUPLE THINGS FOR STAFF. I GUESS I GOT A COUPLE EMAILS ABOUT SOME CONSTRUCTION OVER
HERE ON OCEAN AVENUE THAT'S BEING CONDUCTED ALLEGEDLY, PRIOR TO 5:00 A.M., I'M HEARING 3:00 A.M. I DID REACH OUT TO MANNY, THE PRINCIPLE OF EDGEWATER, HE'S
GOING TO FOLLOW UP WITH YOU GUYS, AND ALSO, I DID RECEIVE SOME EMAILS WITH HURRICANE ALLEY, WITH SOME PARKING ISSUES THERE, I DON'T KNOW IF STAFF HAS FOLLOWED UP ON THAT. IF NOT, IS IT POSSIBLE TO FOLLOW UP ON THAT? THANK YOU. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU.
WE WILL MOVE ON TO ANNOUNCEMENTS. THE CHARTER REVIEW COMMITTEE CHAIR WILL PRESENT THE FINAL REPORT AND IT'S RECOMMENDATIONS. MR. TAYLOR, COME ON DOWN. SHOULD I SAY FORMER MAYOR
TAYLOR. >> GOOD EVENING MAYOR, VICE MAYOR AND COMMISSIONERS. THE I WANT TO THANK THE MAYOR FOR APPOINTING ME TO THE COMMITTEE. I WANT TO THANK THE CITY
ATTORNEY FOR HER ADVICE AND COUNSEL THROUGH OUR MEETINGS. IT WAS VERY BENEFICIAL. ESPECIALLY THE PARTS WHERE SHE INFORMED US WHAT WE COULD AND COULD NOT INCLUDE IN A CHARTER. THAT WAS VERY INFORMATIVE.
I'D LIKE TO JUST QUICKLY INTRODUCE THE OTHER COMMITTEE MEMBERS. OUR VICE CHAIR, DAVID KATZ IF YOU WOULD PLEASE STAND UP SO THE AUDIENCE CAN SEE YOU. REVEREND RICHARD DAMES IS NOT HERE, HE HAD A BIG MEETING IN UTAH AND COULD NOT GET BACK FOR
IT. HE WAS AT OUR MEETINGS. DR. PHYLLIS PACHELLI AND ANGELA TRYANOWSKI. I WANT TO THANK MY COMMITTEE.
I CAN'T TELL YOU, THEY COULDN'T BE MORE PROFESSIONAL. THEY DID THEIR HOMEWORK, THEY BROUGHT UP SO MANY DIFFERENT ISSUES THAT WE DISCUSSED, AND THEY WERE VERY PROFESSIONAL ABOUT LISTENING TO EACH OTHER, COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND TAKING THEIR ADVICE AND TELLING THEM WHY THEY DID OR DID NOT AGREE
WITH IT, SO IT WAS A REALLY GOOD COMMITTEE THAT YOU ALL PUT TOGETHER. I APPRECIATE THAT. IF NOT, I'LL GO AHEAD AND REVIEW THE CHARTER REVIEW.
INTRODUCTION AND -- OH, I'LL -- THE COMMITTEE WAS CHARGED WITH REVIEWING THE EXISTING CITY CHARTER, CONSIDERING PROPOSED AMENDMENTS PREPARED BY THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE, AND RECOMMENDING ANY ADDITIONAL MODIFICATIONS NECESSARY TO APPROVE THE CHARTER'S DAILY FUNCTION IN RESPONSIVENESS TO
THE PUBLIC INTEREST. THE FIRST ONE WAS ESTABLISHED FOUNDATIONAL PRINCIPLES, A PREAMBLE, ESTABLISH A PREAMBLE. WE DON'T HAVE A PREAMPLE RIGHT NOW FOR OUR CHARTER, BUT WE
DID -- THEY DID THE HOMEWORK, OTHER CITIES DO HAVE A PREAMBLE. WE AGREED TO MAKE THAT ONE OF OUR PROPOSALS, AND WHAT OUR PREAMBLE, DO YOU WANT TO READ IT? IF YOU DON'T HAVE IT, I HAVE IT.
>> NO, IT IS ON A SLIDE UP THERE, ONE OF THE SLIDES. >> OKAY. ALL RIGHT, WE'LL SHOW YOU. >> THIS IS IT JUST OUTLINING THE THINGS THAT WE DID, AND THEN WE'LL GO THROUGH THEM INDIVIDUALLY. >> ALL RIGHT. WE DISCUSSED PROBABLY 15 TO 18
DIFFERENT THINGS ABOUT THE CHARTER. AND THEN WE FOUND OUT THAT THEY'RE KIND OF CONCERNED ABOUT HOW MANY YOU WANT TO PUT ON A BALLOT, SO WE SAID, LET'S GET DOWN TO THE TOP FIVE, THE MOST IMPORTANT FIVE WE THINK YOU WANT TO LOOK AT, PUTTING INTO THE
CHARTER THIS TIME. SO THE FIRST ONE WAS A PREAMBLE, THE SECOND WAS CANDIDATE QUALIFICATIONS. THE THIRD ONE WAS TERM LENGTH AND LIMITS FOR COMMISSIONERS. AND IN THE FORM OF GOVERNMENT,
AND THEN LANGUAGE MODERNIZATION. SO WE'LL COVER THE FIRST ONE, WHICH WAS A PREAMBLE. >> AND THE PREAMBLE IS UP THERE. >> IT'S UP THERE, DID YOU WANT ME TO READ IT? >> YES.
>> OKAY. THE CITIZENS OF THE CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH, IN ORDER TO PROTECT THE GENERAL HEALTH, WELFARE AND SAFETY OF ITS RESIDENTS PROMOTE HONEST, EFFICIENT AND RESPONSIVE GOVERNMENT HERE BY ADOPT AND
REVISE A CITY CHARTER IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CONTRIBUTION AND CONSTITUTION AND STATUTES OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA. THIS IS BASICALLY JUST TO SET A BASE OF FOUNDATION FOR WHAT OUR CHARTER IS GOING TO TALK ABOUT.
THAT WAS THE FIRST ONE. THE SECOND ONE WE HAD WAS THAT THE CANDIDATES MUST RESIDE IN THE CITY FOR ONE YEAR PRIOR TO FILING. AND THAT'S AT LEAST ONE YEAR, PROBABLY BEFORE FILING FOR OFFICE, WE DON'T WANT SOMEONE
THAT'S MAYBE LIVING UP IN WEST PALM SAY, THERE'S AN OPENING DOWN THERE IN BOYNTON, I THINK I'LL RUN DOWN AND PUT IN MY NAME. YOU HAVE TO LIVE HERE IN BOYNTON FOR A YEAR. THAT'S A CONTINUOUS RESIDENCE. IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE WANT
THE CHANGE HERE. THAT WE'RE ADDING THE WORD CONTINUOUS, BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT SOMEONE TO COME HERE AND SAY THREE MONTHS AND SAY, BUT I GOT ANOTHER 8 MONTHS UP IN NEW JERSEY WHERE I LIVE. BUT I WILL SERVE HERE FOR THREE
MONTHS. WE WANT YOU TO LIVE HERE CONTINUOUSLY, KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON IN THIS CITY, IF YOU'RE GOING TO SERVE ON THIS COMMISSION, THAT WAS THE POINT OF THAT ONE.
THE THIRD ITEM, WE DISCUSSED THE TERM OF THE MAYOR AND COMMISSIONERS. WE WOULD LIKE TO MOVE IT FROM THREE YEAR TO FOUR YEAR TERMS. HAVING SERVED ON THERE, I CAN TELL YOU, EACH COMMISSIONER PROBABLY COMES IN WITH SOME ISSUES THEY WOULD LIKE TO GET
DONE. IT'S DIFFICULT, BECAUSE GOVERNMENT MOVES SO SLOWLY, IT'S HARD TO MAKE A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN JUST A THREE-YEAR PERIOD. WE THINK IT WOULD SAVE THE CITY MONEY IF IT WAS EVERY FOUR
YEARS, INSTEAD OF THREE YEARS. WE'RE RECOMMENDING YOU MAKE THAT CHANGE. THE NEXT ONE WAS RESIDENCY AND AGE REQUIREMENTS. THIS ONE WE REALLY GOT INTO A
BIG DISCUSSION ABOUT, BECAUSE SOME COMMISSIONERS FELT THAT MAYBE 21 YEARS WAS TOO YOUNG TO BE A COMMISSIONER, BECAUSE OF WHAT IT REQUIRES, THE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT HOW A CITY RUNS, AND ONE
COMMISSIONER SPECIFICALLY TALKED ABOUT SOME STUDIES THAT WERE DONE, THE MIND IS NOT MATURE UNTIL 25 OR OLDER. AND THAT WAS THE POINT OF SAYING, YOU OUGHT TO BE OLDER BEFORE YOU RUN.
I PERSONALLY -- AND DIDN'T AGREE WITH THAT. I WAS MARRIED AT 21 AND RAISING A FAMILY. AND I PRETTY MUCH UNDERSTOOD WHAT YOU NEEDED TO DO WITH A BUDGET.
BOYNTON WE'VE ALWAYS HAD 21. I DON'T REMEMBER IT'S EVER BEEN A HIGHER AGE. I GO BY, IF IT'S NOT BROKE, DON'T TRY TO FIX IT, THAT'S WHERE I COME IN.
I KNOW THE VICE MAYOR WAS STRONG ABOUT RAISING THE AGE. WE HAD ONE MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC THAT ATTENDED EVERY MEETING, SHE
AGREED WITH HIM, WE LEFT THE AGE TO RUN FOR A SEAT. THE FOURTH ONE, WE WANTED TO MAKE IT PLAIN THE CITY OF
BOYNTON IS A CITY MANAGER AND THE COMMISSION. WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WAS UNDERSTOOD, AND ALSO, IT TAKES A SUPERIOR VOTE, IN OTHER WORDS, 4 OUT OF 5, TO HIRE OR FIRE THE
MANAGER OR THE CITY ATTORNEY. AND ON AMENDMENT FIVE, A CATCH ALL ABOUT LANGUAGE. I NOTICE THAT IN OUR CHARTER, IF IT TALKED ABOUT THE -- ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY, IT SAID HE THIS, HE THAT.
CITY MANAGER, IT COULD BE HE THIS, HE THAT. WE THOUGHT IT SHOULD BE HE OR SHE. OR SOME TERM THAT INCLUDES BOTH, THEY, THEM, WHATEVER. THEY'RE GOING TO CLEAN UP THAT LANGUAGE, AND ALSO LOOK AT OTHER
LITTLE -- THROUGHOUT THE CHARTER, BRING UP TO DATE SOME OF THE LANGUAGE IN THERE, WHERE THERE ARE LITTLE VERBS OR A ADVERBS THAT NEED TO BE CHANGED. THAT'S ALL THAT IS. DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?
>> I GUESS, DO WE WANT TO SCHEDULE A TIME TO DISCUSS ALL THESE? >> FOR THESE TO BE READY ON TIME, TO POSSIBLY GO TO A REFERENDUM. THEY NEED TO BE PASSED FIRST AND SECOND MEETING AT OUR NOVEMBER MEETINGS. OUR PLAN WAS THEN TO BRING THEM
BEFORE YOU, THE ACTUAL PROPOSED ORDINANCE, AT THE FIRST MEETING IN NOVEMBER, AND THERE YOU WILL GET TO SEE THE ENTIRE ORDINANCE AND CHANGES. IN YOU DO WANT TO START LOOKING AHEAD OF TIME, IF YOU GO BACK AND LOOK, THERE'S A WHOLE
CHARTER REVIEW COMMITTEE REPORT THAT WAS EMAILED TO EVERYONE, BUT IT'S ALSO ATTACHED TO THE BACKUP HERE IN THIS ITEM, IF YOU NEED IT, CERTAINLY, I CAN EMAIL IT AGAIN. >> PERFECT, NO, OUTSIDE OF THAT, THANK YOU, JERRY, DAVID, PHYLLIS.
>> WE WERE APPOINTED FOR TWO YEARS, WE ALREADY HAVE A MEETING SET UP FOR A YEAR FROM NOW, IF YOU STILL WANT US AS A COMMITTEE. >> I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR STEPS UP TO THE PLATE AND TAKING
OWNERSHIP OF THIS. IT'S BIG CHANGES. THINGS PROGRESS, TIMES CHANGE, THINGS CHANGE, PEOPLE CHANGE. I WANT TO THANK YOU GUYS AGAIN, I'LL LEAVE MY OPINIONS AS TO THE CONTENT FOR THE FIRST NOVEMBER
MEETING. >> ME TOO. >> THANK YOU ALL FOR WORKING LATE. >> DAVID, SINCE YOU WERE ON THE CHARTER, YOU MAY HAVE A COMMENT? >> AS VICE CHAIR, I WANT TO THANK LEGAL STAFF WHO HELPED US OUT.
SERVING WITH THE MEMBERS, WE HAD A LOT OF SPIRITED DISCUSSIONS. THERE WERE TWO ITEMS THAT I WOULD CALL PEACEFUL OPPOSITION.
THE AGE, I FELT SHOULD BE 25. I UNDERSTAND HE WAS MARRIED AT 21, IN REALITY, IT WASN'T A $400 MILLION BUDGET HE WAS DEALING WITH. THAT WAS MY CONCERN, HAVING SOMEONE MORE MATURE. I UNDERSTAND THAT AT THE STATE
LEVEL, IT'S 21 YEARS OF AGE, AT THE U.S. CONGRESS IT'S 25 AND 30. IT'S NOT AN ABSURD LEGAL JUMP TO MAKE IT TO 25. I DON'T THINK IF THE RESIDENTS VOTED ON IT, THEY WOULD TURN IT DOWN BECAUSE OF THAT.
THAT'S UP TO YOU GUYS. THE OTHER THING, THERE WAS SPIRITED DISCUSSION, OF WHICH, I'LL CALL MYSELF THE LOYAL OPPOSITION ON. TWO YEARS, INSTEAD OF THREE YEARS.
THE CITY ATTORNEY STATED IT WOULD NOT PASS INSTITUTIONAL MUSTER. THERE ARE OTHER CITIES THAT HAVE TWO-YEAR RESIDENCY. THERE'S A LOT TO HAPPEN, THEY
WOULD HAVE TO CHALLENGE IT, GO BEFORE THE COURT, AND MAYBE BRING IN PEOPLE FROM FT. PIERCE AND DORAL, I DON'T KNOW IF THINK WOULD JOIN A LAWSUIT TO DIE FEND IT. BUT A LOT OF STEPS WOULD HAVE TO
HAPPEN. LET'S SAY HYPOTHETICALLY, THE CHARTER AMENDMENT WERE PASSED, AND THEN THE COURTS RULED, NO, THAT SHOULDN'T BE THAT WAY. SO TWO THINGS WOULD HAPPEN, NOW THAT PART OF THE CHARTER WOULD BE GONE. WHAT THE COMMISSION WOULD HAVE
TO DO TO REMEDY THAT WOULD PASS TWO ORDINANCES GOING BACK TO THE ONE-YEAR CONTINUOUS RESIDENCY. I THINK IT'S WORTH GOING TO THE TWO YEARS, I THINK ONE YEAR IS JUST NOT ENOUGH TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE CITY. AGAIN, THIS IS UP TO YOU GUYS,
BUT THAT'S MY OPINION. THANK YOU. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU. I JUST REALLY QUICK, MAYOR, I WANTED TO DITTO EVERYONE'S SENTIMENTS ON THANKING PEOPLE.
I SPOKE TO A COUPLE MEMBERS. EVERYONE WAS REALLY PLEASANT AND WORK TOGETHER. AND SO AS YOU SEE, WHEN WE'RE ON THE COMMISSION, WE DON'T ALWAYS HAVE TO AGREE, BUT WE'RE RESPECTFUL AND SO I APPRECIATE
THAT YOU GUYS CAN COME TOGETHER AND HAVE DIFFERENCES, AND HAVE CONVERSATIONS THAT REALLY ARE FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THE CITY, WHICH IS WHAT WE ALL STRIVE FOR. I WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU TO YOU GUYS, AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO GOING THROUGH AND TALKING MORE
ABOUT THESE ITEMS ON -- AT OUR NEXT MEETING, THANK YOU GUYS FOR DOING THIS, AND FOR TAKING THE TIME OUT OF YOUR DAY AND YOUR FAMILIES TO HELP US WITH THIS, SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MAYOR.
>> YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY WELCOME. AND THANK YOU NOR GIVING US THIS OPPORTUNITY. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO JUST ADD ONE NOTE OF CONTEXT, AS YOU FORM YOUR OPINIONS. BECAUSE I ORIGINALLY WAS OF THE OPINION THAT WE SHOULD RAISE THE AGE TO 25, BECAUSE WE LEFT THAT
AND THEN HAD A WEEK TO REALLY DO THE RESEARCH, SO THERE IS ONLY ONE CITY IN THE ENTIRE UNITED STATES THAT HAS THAT AS AN AGE REQUIREMENT. AND THE FLORIDA HOUSE OF LEGISLATURE IS 21. AND THEY ARE MANAGING BILLIONS
OF DOLLARS, AND A COUPLE YEARS AGO, WHEN WE CHANGED THE CHARTER THE LAST TIME, 12 YEARS AGO, WE HAD A PROBLEM IN BOYNTON WITH REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT, WHERE THE ENTIRE CITY WAS VOTING ON THE COMMISSION SEATS. THE CHARTER WAS CHANGEDS TO
SUPPORT REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT. I WANT TO WAIVE MY AMERICAN FLAG HERE, AND REMIND US, THAT THAT IS WHAT OUR COUNTRY IS FOUNDED ON. THAT'S SOMETHING I WANT TO CONTINUE TO PRACTICE HERE IN BOYNTON. IF WE RAISE THE AGE FROM 21 TO 25, WE ARE TELLING PEOPLE WHO
ARE RENTING, WHO ARE OUT THERE BUYING HOUSES, WHO ARE OUT THERE PARTICIPATING WITHIN OUR CITY, USING OUR SERVICES, PAYING TAXES THAT THEY ARE NOT GOING TO BE REPRESENTED -- THEY CANNOT BE REPRESENTED HERE IN BOYNTON. I WANT TO URGE YOU TO THINK ABOUT THAT WHEN YOU'RE THINKING
ABOUT THE AGE, BECAUSE IF WE DO RAISE THAT, WE ARE SIGNALLING THAT WE'RE A CITY THAT DOESN'T FAVOR THE YOUNG, WE DO NOT WANT ANYONE HERE FROM 21 TO 25 TO RETURN FOR OFFICE. AGAIN, IF IT'S NOT BROKE, DON'T
FIX IT, WE HAVEN'T HAD THIS PROBLEM. AND FROM A FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY, I COULD GIVE YOU A LONG LIST OF PUBLIC SERVANTS WHO HAVE NOT MET THEIR FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY AND THEY'RE OVER THE AGE OF 25. I WILL PUT THAT OUT THERE FOR
YOU GUYS TO RUMINATE OVER FOR THE NEXT COUPLE WEEKS. >> I WANT TO ADD, THAT I'M NOT GOING TO SAY EVERYTHING ANGELA HAS JUST SAID, BUT I AGREE WITH, I ALSO, WHEN YOU HAVE A BILLION DOLLAR BUDGET VERSUS OUR BUDGET,
AND YOU HAVE PEOPLE THAT ARE 21 THAT CAN GO TO THE STATE LEGISLATURE, YOU REALLY NEED TO CONSIDER THAT. YOU ALSO REALLY NEED TO CONSIDER THAT YOU HAVE VOTERS THAT YOU WILL ALIENATE, THAT PEOPLE --
THAT THEY CAN GO TO 18 AND SERVE OUR COUNTRY. >> I TOO WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE COMMITTEE FOR A JOB WELL DONE. I DO AGREE WITH WHAT HAS BEEN
STATED AS FAR AS THE 21 AND I AGREE WITH THAT BEING THE AGE, LIKE JERRY WAS STATING, AT 21 I GOT MARRIED, AND I UNDERSTOOD A LOT ABOUT BUDGET AND
RESPONSIBILITY AT THAT TIME. I DO FEEL IF OUR YOUNG PEOPLE CAN SERVE IN OUR ARMED SERVICES, THEY CERTAINLY CAN BE REPRESENTATIVE HERE.
I DO BELIEVE IN HAVING REPRESENTATION, NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION. I FEEL THAT 21 IS FINE.
I FEEL THAT FOUR-YEAR IS A GOOD CHANGE. WHEN I CAME ON BOARD WAY BACK IN 2007, I WAS -- THE FIRST YEAR, I WAS WONDERING WHICH END IS UP.
BY THE TIME YOU GET AROUND TO YOUR SECOND YEAR, YOU PICK UP SOMETHING SO I THINK IT'S A GOOD MOVE THAT WE GO TO A TWO, FOUR
YEAR TURN. WHEN WE BRING IN YOUTH, WE BRING IN NEW IDEA AND BLOOD. IN THIS CASE IT WOULD BE TO OUR ADVANTAGE. DO I BELIEVE THAT IN AIR
SITUATION, NO. BUT I DON'T SEE A PROBLEM SERVING ON THIS BOARD AT THE AGE OF 21. I WANT TO THANK ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND SERVICE YOU HAVE
GIVEN TO THIS. >> I WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT TO THANK THE CHARTER REVIEW COMMITTEE FOR VOLUNTEERING YOUR TIME SELFLESSLY AND ALSO FOR OUR LEGAL TEAM FOR BEING THERE.
I DO WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THAT. THAT'S ALL FOR ME. >> NEXT, WE WILL HAVE THE CITY EVENTS ANNOUNCEMENT. CAN STAFF COME UP TO THE PODIUM TO ANNOUNCE THEIR EVENTS.
>> HELLO AND GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE. BEFORE I GET INTO MY ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT PIRATE FEST, I WANTED TO INTRODUCE OUR NEW SPECIAL EVENTS DIVISION DIRECTOR. HER NAME IS AMANDA, SHE COMES TO
US WITH OVER 20 YEARS OF EVENT EXPERIENCE, FROM LARGE SCALE TO SMALL SCALE, SHE'S VERY EXCITED TO GET STARTED, WE'RE EXCITED TO HAVE HER, AND WE'RE VERY CONFIDENT IN HER ABILITIES AND WHAT SHE'LL BRING TO OUR CITY IN THE FUTURE.
>> THANK YOU. PIRATEFEST IS SAILING INTO BOYNTON BEACH THIS SATURDAY. IT RUNS FROM 12:00 P.M. TO 10:00 P.M. GUESTS CAN LOOK FORWARD TO A
WEEKEND FULL OF FUN WITH TONS OF FREE ACTIVITIES IT, AND AN EVENT WIDE TREASURE HUNT. WE'LL HAVE LIVE ENTERTAINMENT ALL DAY LONG, ACROSS FIVE STAGES, A PACKED FOOD COURT WITH AMAZING VARIETY.
OVER 60 MARKET VENDORS SELLING EVERYTHING FROM HAND CRAFTED GOODS AND TREASURES. IT'S GOING TO BE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND VERY EXCITED AND HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL THERE.
>> WE'LL BE THERE. >> MAYOR: WE'RE NOW MOVING ON TO THE PUBLIC AUDIENCE PORTION OF THE MEETING. AS ALWAYS, THREE MINUTES PER PERSON, NONTRANSFERABLE.
THE SPEAKER MUST ADDRESS THE ENTIRE COMMISSION. NO PERSONAL ATTACKS ARE PERMITTED. IF YOU VIOLATE THESE RULES, YOU
WILL BE ASKED TO LEAVE THE ROOM. >> MIKE CRAIG, WE HAVE A FACILITY IN BOYNTON NAMED ESA HESTER COMMUNITY CENTER.
HE SERVED AS A MAYOR OF THE CITY. ON THIS WEEKEND, HIS WIFE MRS. CAROL PEARL HESTER PASSED. MRS. HESTER WAS A SECRETARY AT
POINCIANA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. SHE SERVED THROUGHOUT PALM BEACH COUNTY. SHE WAS A MEMBER OF ST. JOHN BAPTIST CHURCH, I ASK THAT YOU ALL REMEMBER THIS FAMILY WHEN YOU BOW TO PRAY. THANK YOU.
>> LAST NIGHT I ATTENDED A PLANNING WORKSHOP DEALING WITH LOOKING AT 10 AND 20 YEARS DOWN THE ROAD. THE CITY PAID A CONSULTANT FOR WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE BY CITY STAFF.
WE HAVE TALENTED PLANNERS IN THE CITY. >> MAYOR: EXCUSE ME, YOUR NAME, PLEASE. >> MARK TARAGEORGE. WE HAVE TALENTED PLANNERS ON OUR STAFF.
EVERYTHING THAT THE CONSULTANT STATED AS REFERENCE POINTS AND THAT TYPE OF THING, OUR STAFF HAS ACCESS TO THE SAME DATA. IT WAS A WASTE OF MONEY AND
TIME. AND FROM A FIDUCIARY STANDPOINT IT UPSET ME. THE CITY HAD WASTED ITS TIME AND MONEY, WHEN IT COULD HAVE BEEN DONE IN HOUSE, AND GOTTEN THE EXACT SAME RESULTS. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU. NEXT, PLEASE.
>> HI, ANGELA TROY NASKI. I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR LISTENING TO OUR PUBLIC COMMENT. I WANT TO BRING UP A TOPIC SEPARATE FROM THE CHARTERRY VIEW. WE HAVE BEEN TALKING RECENTLY IN
THE CITY ABOUT THE WATER WITHIN BOYNTON BEACH, AND I WANT TO JUST EXPRESS MY RESOLVE AS A CITIZEN TO SEE THAT OUR WATER IS RELIABLY SAFE AND CLEAN. AS A RESIDENT IN EAST BOYNTON
BEACH, I SEE THE WATER CHANGE QUITE FREQUENTLY, I ALSO SEE THAT THE PALM BEACH COUNTY IS HOSTING A PANEL ON FLUORIDE IN THE WATER, AND I WANT TO JUST POSE THE QUESTION TO SEE IF
THAT'S SOMETHING WE ARE ALREADY DOING OR SOMETHING WE'RE LOOKING INTO. THAT'S ALL. >> CINDY FALCO -DiCORRADO.
>> I AM CONCERNED YOU THINK IT'S OKAY FOR SOMEONE WHO IS 21 TO RUN FOR THE COMMISSION. IF YOU ARE NOT LIVING HERE, YOU SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO RUN UNTIL YOU'RE AT LEAST 25.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE LOOKED AT 21-YEAR-OLDS TODAY, THEY'RE NOT 16-YEAR-OLDS WHEN I WAS GROWING UP. WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT THE SAME MENTALITY, THE SAME KIND OF MEN OR WOMEN THAT WE WERE WHEN WE WERE YOUNGER. WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, I WAS VERY MATURE AT 18, I LOOK AT
18-YEAR-OLDS TODAY, THEY MAY AS WELL BE IN DIAPERS. I'M NOT TRYING TO MAKE A MOCHRIE, BUT IT'S THAT THEY DON'T TEACH STUDENTS WELL ENOUGH. TO HANDLE MONEY AND HOLD A SEAT
TO BE A SPOKESPERSON ON MY LIFE. THEY DON'T OWN A HOME, THEY DON'T PAY TAXES. WHY WOULD WE GIVE THEM THAT LEEWAY. I THINK 25 AND OLDER, IT DOESN'T STOP YOUNG PEOPLE, 25 IS STILL
YOUNG. I HAVE A 27-YEAR-OLD GRANDSON, I WOULDN'T WANT HIM SITTING ON THE DAIS. I'M JUST BEING REAL. WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH WHAT HAPPENS WITH YOU GUYS UP HERE, FOUR YEARS IS TOO LONG. LIKE THE LAST CANDIDATE WHO SAT
AS MAYOR, I WOULD BE HORRIFIED IF HE RAN FOR FOUR YEARS. WE WENT UP FROM 2 YEARS, I UNDERSTAND YOU CAN'T GET THINGS DONE, THAT'S WHY WE WANT PEOPLE TO COME IN WHO WILL FOLLOW THROUGH. IF WE HAVE FOUR YEARS, WITH WHO
WE HAD AS A MAYOR, THE DAMAGE THAT WAS DONE WAS ALREADY IRATE. I NEED TO THINK ABOUT THOSE -- [ NO AUDIO ] >> THEN I'M GOING TO GET OFF THAT BANDWAGON, I'D LIKE TO BE AT THAT MEETING, I DIDN'T KNOW
YOU HAD ONE. I'M CAMPAIGNING FOR GRANDPARENTS RIGHTS. IN FLORIDA, THERE ARE NO GRANDPARENTS RIGHTS, I DID PUT IN TO LORI BETTER -- BERMAN.
CHILDREN THRIVE WHEN THEY'RE RISED IN A STABLE ENVIRONMENT. GRANDPARENTS OFTEN PROVIDE SUPPORT WHEN PARENTS RBT ABLE TO DO SO. IT REDUCES RELIANCE ON FOSTER CARE, PROTECTS CHILDREN FROM UNNECESSARY TRAUMA.
I DON'T KNOW WHY THIS HAS NEVER BEEN ESTABLISHED. MY GRANDSON IS 27 YEARS OILED, BUT I'M GOING TO BE AN ADVOCATE FOR OTHER GRANDPARENTS. I KNOW TOO MANY GRANDPARENTS THAT ARE NOT ABLE TO SEE THEIR GRANDCHILDREN BECAUSE OF THEIR
OWN ISSUES. I WILL BE SENDING THE PETITIONS TO LORI BERMAN AND MACK BERNARD. THANK YOU. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU. NEXT, PLEASE. >> MY NAME IS JOE VECCA. 21, I WAS MARRIED THREE YEARS,
HAD TWO CHILDREN. BY THE TIME I WAS 25, I REALIZED WHAT WAS CAUSING IT. I WENT OUT AND BOUGHT A TV. THANK GOD FOR JOANNIE CARSON.
THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 21 AND 25. I HAPPEN TO BE PRESIDENT OF QUAIL RUN VILLA ASSOCIATION. AND I WANTED TO JUST BRING TODAY A COUPLE THINGS. I SENT PICTURES OF SOME OF THE BUSINESSES THAT BACK UP TO OUR
LAKE. IT'S NOT A RICH COMMUNITY. THE 40 OR 50 THOUSANDS THAT IT COSTS US TO MAINTAIN THE LAKE, THE AERATION, THE LAKE DOCTOR
GOES IN AND PUTS CHEMICALS IN, BE AND WE STOCK THE LAKE. IT'S IMPORTANT THAT ALL THE BUSINESSES ON THE EASTSIDE, THAT WE LIVE IN A CITY -- A STATE THAT HAS AN EAST PREVAILING WIND. EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS IN THOSE
BUSINESSES ENDS UP IN OR LAKE. IT'S ONLY BEEN A 35 YEAR OR SO PROBLEM. SO WE JUST WANTED TO ASK IF THERE WAS SOMETHING THAT COULD BE DONE, AND I KNOW ANGELA'S BEEN EXTREMELY HELPFUL, AND I DON'T KNOW IF SHE DISTRIBUTED
THE PICTURES OF SOME OF THE STUFF THAT GOES ON BEHIND THERE, AND HOPEFULLY SHE WILL, AND YOU'LL HAVE THAT. YOU GUYS CAN JUST LOOK AT IT, THE OTHER THING IS, WE TALK WITH -- YOU KNOW WHO SHREK IS? YOUR POLICE DEPARTMENT IS
UNBELIEVABLE, THESE GUYS ARE GREAT, THEY'RE RESPONSIVE TO US, ANY TIME. THEY'RE PROFESSIONAL, I KNOW THEY KEEP SAYING THEY NEED MORE TRAINING AND THEY PROBABLY DO, WHO DOESN'T. THAT'S NOT THE POINT. THE POINT IS, THEY'RE DOING A GREAT JOB. AND WE APPRECIATE THEM SO MUCH.
WE DON'T HAVE GUARD GATES AS A LOT OF COMMUNITIES DO, SO IT'S IMPORTANT TO US, WITH THAT 26th STREET THAT RUNS THROUGH OUR -- CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE, OVER 1,000 CARS A DAY ARE ON THAT STREET, AND SOME OF THEM EXCEED THE 25 MILE AN HOUR SPEED LIMIT A LOT.
THOSE TWO THINGS, I APPRECIATE EVERYTHING THE CITY'S'S DOING, WE APPRECIATE YOUR HELP, AND CONTROLLING 26th STREET, PERHAPS A LITTLE MORE WITH SOMETHING. AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A FISHING TOURNAMENT IN JANUARY OR FEBRUARY WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. SO EVERYBODY'S WELCOME TO COME,
HANG OUT AT THE POOL, HAVE A HAMBURGER, GO FISHING. AND THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO. THAT'S IT. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO GIVE PUBLIC COMMENT?
>> NO, BUT I SAID EXCUSE ME. >> MAYOR: YOU'RE ON THE CLOCK, SIR. >> HE WOULDN'T LET ME OUT OF THE CHAIR. >> MAYOR: TIME HAS STARTED. >> HI, YOU HEAR ME? >> MAYOR: I CAN HEAR YOU. >> ERNEST MIGNOLI, I LIVE AT
HARBOR HALL INLET. PURCHASED IN NOVEMBER OF 2020. AND I'M NOT A SNOW BIRD, LIVE HERE FULL TIME, TAXPAYER, HOMEOWNER, RESIDENT, ET CETERA. I'D LIKE TO SAY A LOT OF COMMENTS THAT I HEAR, I DON'T KNOW OF ANY FACTS TO BACK
ANYTHING UP. I MEAN, I -- I DON'T KNOW HOW PEOPLE MAKE ALL THESE COMMENTS, AND YET THE RECORDS ARE NOT AVAILABLE TO US. IN OTHER WORDS, WE REQUEST CITY
CAMS OR CITY CAMERAS OR CITY RECORDS OR -- WE'RE DENIED EVERYTHING. AND THEN ONCE IN A WHILE, YOU MENTION, I GOT AN EMAIL, I SEND ABOUT 100 EMAILS A DAY, I DON'T GET ONE ANSWER. ALTHOUGH, FROM THE LAST ONE I SENT.
I GOT A -- AN ANSWER FROM SOMEONE HEAVILY INVOLVED WITH THE CITY, IT MADE SOME PRETTY DAMAGING COMMENTS, INCLUDING SOME SEXUAL COMMENTS ABOUT BODY PARTS, AND I SAID TO MYSELF, HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN, RIGHT?
AND THEN IF YOU TRY TO REPORT IT, IT'S FUNNY, ISN'T IT, TURKIN. EVERYTHING'S FUNNY TO YOU. >> IT IS. >> YEAH, I KNOW, EVERYTHING'S FUNNY TO YOU. THIS IS A REAL HUMOROUS GROUP, I GOT TO TELL YOU. SO THE POINT IS, YOU KNOW,
EVERYBODY -- LOOK, AT AGE 18, OKAY, I TRIED MY BEST TO GET INTO THE MILITARY. I HAD SEVERE PHYSICAL HANDICAPS. THEY WOULDN'T TAKE ME NO MATTER WHAT. I TRIED AT THREE BOARDS AND THEY ALL TURNED ME DOWN.
THAT'S BESIDE THE POINT. PEOPLE I WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL WITH, GOT IN, WENT TO VIETNAM, AND DIED AND WERE MUTILATED. A LOT OF US NEVER GOT OVER THAT.
TO SAY AN 18-YEAR-OLD IS NOT ABLE TO DO ANYTHING. OR A 21-YEAR-OLD, I DON'T KNOW WHERE THAT COMES FROM. I THINK IT'S HIGHLY DISRESPECTFUL, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH A HOUSE. PEOPLE DON'T HAVE HOUSES BECAUSE OF THE WAY EVERYTHING'S BEING RUN. THAT'S WHY. THAT'S NOTHING THEY DID WRONG.
CAN I GET AN EXTRA 20 MINUTES? >> MAYOR: NO, SIR. >> NO? WHY NOT? >> MAYOR: YOU HAVE 29 SECONDS TO GO. YOU HAVE 25 SECONDS. >> THAT'S ALL I HAVE.
>> MAYOR: YES. >> WHY DOES NO ONE RETURN MY EMAILS. I NEVER HEARD OF A TOWN WITH A MAYOR, COMMISSIONERS THAT DON'T RETURN EMAILS. HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN? YOU TURN AROUND AND I DON'T WANT
TO SAY THREATENED, BUT I DON'T FEEL TOO SAFE AROUND HERE, AND THEN I'M CALLED, IF YOU CALL FOR HELP, WE'RE GOING TO LOCK YOU UP. REALLY, GOOD LUCK. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU, SIR. ARE THERE ANY COMMENTS ONLINE, ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ONLINE?
>> NO, MAYOR, THERE'S NO ONE ONLINE. >> MAYOR, IF I MIGHT -- >> MAYOR: SURE. >> THESE DECISIONS REGARDING THE CHARTER COMMITTEE WILL ULTIMATELY BE DECIDED BY YOU, THE VOTERS, THAT IS NOT SOMETHING THIS BODY WILL DECIDE,
WE WILL DECIDE IF IT GETS ON THE BALLOT, AND THEN THE PUREST FORM OF DEMOCRACY, ALLOWING PEOPLE TO MAKE THOSE DECISIONS IS HOW WE'RE GOING TO EXECUTE ANY CHANGES TO OUR CITY CHARTER. >> GOOD POINT, THANK YOU. >> WE'RE MOVING ON TO COMMUNITY
SUPPORT FUNDS, FROM COMMISSIONER CRUZ, 1,000 TO YOUNG IN FAITH. THE TREE OF LIFE. WE HAVE 675 FOR THE COMMUNITY CHEERLEADERS. >> MOVE TO APPROVE.
>> SECOND. >> MAYOR: COMMISSIONER TURKIN, AND COMMISSIONER CRUZ. ALL IN FAVOR? >> AYE. >> MAYOR: OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. MOVING ON TO OUR CONSENT AGENDA. IF ANY OF MY COLLEAGUES WOULD LIKE TO PULL ITEMS FROM CONSENT,
LET'S BEGIN WITH COMMISSION CANNER TURKIN? >> NO. >> NO. >> NO. >> NO. >> MOTION TO APPROVE. >> SECOND. >> MAYOR: WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA. ALL IN FAVOR? >> AYE. >> MAYOR: OPPOSED?
MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. WE WILL NOW MOVE ON TO CONSENT BIDS AND PURCHASES. ANY PULLS? >> NONE FOR ME? >> NO. >> NO. >> MAYOR: COMMISSIONER KELLEY? >> AS MUCH AS IT PAINS ME, I
NEED TO PULL 7-B. >> MAYOR: COMMISSIONER TURKIN? >> NO. BUT I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE REMAINDER OF CONSENT. >> SECOND. >> MAYOR: ALL IN FAVOR? >> AYE. >> MAYOR: OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. COMMISSIONER KELLEY, WOULD YOU
LIKE TO BEGIN SINCE YOU PULLED 7-B? >> IT'S JUST, IT'S SUCH A BIG ITEM, THAT ANDREW, I WOULD LIKE STAFF TO GO OVER, MAKE SURE THIS IS NOT ANYTHING THAT IS NOT IN OUR NORMAL COURSE OF BUSINESS, PLEASE. >> GOOD AFTERNOON, MAYOR, VICE
MAYOR, COMMISSIONERS, ANNA LEE HOLMES, DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS. THIS ITEM IS TO APPROVE THE PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLES THAT WERE APPROVED IN OUR BUDGET IN SEPTEMBER. IT'S APPROVING THE CONTRACTS
THAT WE'LL BE USING TO PURCHASE THOSE VEHICLES. AND ALL OF THESE CONTRACTS ARE -- WERE ALREADY COMPETITIVELY BID. SO ESSENTIALLY, WE'RE PIGGYBACKING OFF THE CONTRACTS. >> NO, I DO NOT.
>> OKAY. >> ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? >> MOTION TO APPROVE. >> SECOND. >> WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE 7-B, AND A SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? >> AYE. >> MAYOR: OPPOSED?
MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. WELL, 4-0. WE HAVE FOUR PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS, THEY WILL BE HELD TOGETHER. THERE WILL BE PUBLIC COMMENT
PERMITTED ON EACH ITEM. 8-A AND B ARE QUASI JUDICIAL. I WILL TURN TO THE CLERK TO SWEAR IN ANYONE WHO CHOSES TO SWEAR ON THESE ITEMS. >> ANYONE WHO IS HERE TO TESTIFY PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND.
[ SWEARING-IN ] >> MAYOR: IF EACH COMMISSIONER CAN PLEASE MAKE ANY DISCLOSURES AT THIS TIME REGARDING ITEMS 8-A, B, C, AND D.
>> AS TO THIS MATTER, I HAVE NOT HAD EX PARTE COMMUNICATIONS, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED COMMUNICATIONS, I HAVE NOT CONDUCTED AN VISION, I HAVE NOT MADE A SITE VISIT. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED EXPERT OPINIONS, OTHER THAN STAFF. I DID RECEIVE ONE EMAIL FROM AN ATTORNEY.
I REQUEST THAT THESE DISCLOSURES AND ALL WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS BE MADE PART OF THE RECORD. >> ON WHICH ITEM? >> ALL THESE. >> THE ANNEXATION KIRALI?
>> I HAVE NOT HAD EX PARTE COMMUNICATION, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED WRITTEN COMMUNICATION, I HAVE NOT CONDUCTED AN INVESTIGATION, I'VE NOT MADE A SITE VISIT, I'VE NOT RECEIVED EXPERT OPINION. I REQUEST THAT THESE DISCLOSURES AND ALL WRITTEN COMMUNICATION BE

COMMUNICATIONS, I HAVE NOT CONDUCTED AN INVESTIGATION, I HAVE NOT MADE A SITE VISIT. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED EXPERT OPINIONS. I REQUEST ALL THESE DISCLOSURES BE MADE PART OF THE RECORD. >> MAYOR: I HAVE NOT HAD ANY EX

AGO, AND THERE IS A QUICK PRESENTATION OF THE VARIANCE. AND I THINK I NEED THE CLICKER. SO I'M GOING TO JUST ZIP THROUGH
THE PREVIOUS ONES THAT DIDN'T CHANGE AND DISCUSS THE VARIANCE. THIS IS NOT A VARIANCE TO DO SOMETHING NEW. THIS IS A VARIANCE FOR THE EXISTING CONDITION. THIS BUILDING HAS BEEN IN THIS
LOCATION FOR 50 YEARS, SO IT MEETS ALL WHY ARE CRITERIA, THERE ARE SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES, WE DID NOT CREATE THIS, IT WAS BUILT AT THE TIME, IT WAS LAWFUL, BUT TO BRING IT INTO THE
CITY WILL NEED THIS VARIANCE. DOESN'T GRANT SPECIAL PRIVILEGE, IT IS THE MINIMUM NECESSARY, BECAUSE IT'S THE EXISTING CONDITION. AND IT'S IN HARMONY WITH THE CODE INTEND WHICH RECOGNIZES
THAT WHEN THERE ARE FACILITIES LIKE CANALS THAT SEPARATE PROPERTIES FROM PROPERTIES TO THE REAR, ALLOWING A LESSER SET

COUNTER TOPS & DESIGN LLC, TO BE LOCATED AT 1900 CORPORATE DRIVE IN THE PLANNED TRIAL DEVELOPMENT PID ZONING DISTRICT. >> MAYOR: IS THERE A PRESENTATION? >> GOOD EVENING. THANKS FOR HAVING ME HERE TO
GIVE A PRESENTATION. >> RONATO CRUZ. I'M GIVING THE PRESENTATION FOR AMERICAN COUNTER TOPS.
THANK YOU. I'LL TRY TO BE AS QUICK AS POSSIBLE AND GIVE YOU THE INFORMATION. AMERICAN COUNTER TOPS & DESIGN IS LOCATED AT 2016 CORPORATE
DRIVE. IT HAS INDOOR OPERATION, AND THE STORAGE, THE MAIN FOCUS OF THE BUSINESS IS TO SERVE HOMEOWNERS, DESIGNERS AND CONTRACTORS, IN BOYNTON BEACH AND PALM BEACH COUNTY.
AND THE PROJECT CONSISTS OF 8 EMPLOYEES, AND SOME CONTRACTS. THE PURPOSE OF THIS REQUEST IS TO OBTAIN THE CONDITIONAL USE APPROVAL FOR FABRICATION ACTIVITIES AT THAT LOCATION. AND ALSO ENSURE THAT THE COMPANY
IS FULLY COMPLIED WITH BOYNTON BEACH ZONING REGULATIONS. THE SITE IS LOCATED AS WE CAN SEE, CLOSE TO ALBRIGHT ROAD AND
I-95, THE LOCATION WAS MENTIONED. THERE IS A LOT OF INDUSTRIAL OPERATIONS WITH COMMERCIAL SURROUNDINGS. HERE WE HAVE A COUPLE PICTURES OF THE STRETCHERS THAT WE BUILT
AT THAT PLACE. IT HAS AN INDOOR FABRICATION AND CUTTING AREA. IT HAS RECYCLED WATER SYSTEM THAT CONSISTS OF ENCLOSED LOOP WATER. THE FORKLIFT OPERATION IS
LIMITED INSIDE THE BUILDING, AND THE LOADING AREAS. AND THE BUSINESS HOURS OPERATION IS MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY 8:00 TO 5:00 P.M. AND IT CONSISTS OF 8 FULL TIME EMPLOYEES, AND ABOUT 20
SUBCONTRACTS. THE ACTIONS WE HAVE TAKEN IN ORDER TO AVOID ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT AND TO INCREASE THE SAFETY OF THE OPERATION IS THE CUTTING -- THE CUTTING OUR
PERFORMANCE WITH WATER, AND ELIMINATING DUST, WE HAVE A CLOSED LOOP WATER RECYCLE, MINIMIZING THE WATER WASTE. THERE IS NO ADDITIONAL ELECTRICAL POWER TO BE SUPPLIED, SINCE WE ARE WORKING WITH
EFFICIENT AND NEW MACHINES. WE WILL KEEP THE DUMPSTERS INSIDE, INDOORS, TO MAINTAIN THE SITE CLEAN. THERE IS NO OUTDOOR LIGHTNING THERE OR TO BE INSTALLED, AND THE PARKING AND LOADING AREAS
ARE PROBABLY IDENTIFIED AND COMPLIED WITH THE REQUIREMENTS. THE BENEFITS WE CAN HIGHLIGHT HERE ARE THE LOCAL JOB CREATION AND TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES. WE ALSO ARE LOOKING FOR
ENHANCING SERVICES AND AVAILABILITY OF PRODUCTS FOR THE HOMEOWNERS IN THIS AREA. ALSO FOR THE CONTRACTORS AND BUILDERS, AND ALSO WE ARE LOOKING FOR CONTRIBUTION TO THE
CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH ECONOMICALLY, AND LOOKING ALSO TO IMPROVE EXISTING SPACE. SO HERE WE HAVE SHORT SUMMARY ABOUT THE COMPLIANCE OF THIS PROCESS, WITH THE CITY AND THE ZONING DEPARTMENT.
WE HAD AN APPLICATION REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY THE DEPARTMENTS REQUIRED, POLICE, PLANNING AND ZONING, U UNTIL IS AND WE SENT
NOTICES TO OWNERS WITHIN 400 FEET RADIUS OF THAT AREA, AND SIGN WAS POSTED IN FRONT OF THE PROPERTY FOR 13 DAYS. SO IN CONCLUSION, THE AMERICAN COUNTER TOPS AND DESIGN BUSINESS OPERATES RESPONSIBLY AND
COMPLIANTLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE CITY. AND ALSO WE ARE LOOKING TO SUPPORT THE GROWTH AND THE SUSTAINABILITY OF THE CITY. AND WE ARE COMPLETELY WILLING TO RESPECT THE REQUESTS FROM THE
COMMISSION, AND GET THE APPROVAL FOR CONDITIONAL USE. THANK YOU. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU. ARE THERE ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMISSION? PUBLIC COMMENT IS IT PERMITTED AT THIS TIME WITH, EACH PERSON
HAVING THREE MINUTES. >> MARK KARAGEORGE. THIS IS A NO-BRAINER, YOU HAVE SOMEONE WHO IS GOING TO BE ADDING VALUE TO YOUR CITY.
CREATING JOBS AND DOING THINGS RIGHT, EVEN ENVIRONMENTALLY RIGHT. THIS I URGE YOU TO APPROVE, BECAUSE INDUSTRIAL COSTS LESS TO SERVICE THAN RESIDENTIAL. IT'S A WIN-WIN FOR THIS CITY. THANK YOU. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU.
IF THERE'S NOTHING ELSE, MAY WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE DEVELOPMENT ORDER? >> SO MOVED. >> SECOND. >> MAYOR: COMMISSIONER CRUZ MADE THE MOTION TO APPROVE AND COMMISSIONER TURKIN MADE THE SECOND. ALL OF THOSE IN FAVOR TO APPROVE
THE DEVELOPMENT ORDER SAY AYE. >> AYE. >> MAYOR: OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. I WILL TURN TO THE CLERK TO READ 8-F INTO THE RECORD.
>> PROPOSED ORDINANCE 25-034, FIRST READING, AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING CODE OF ORDINANCES PART 3, LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS, CHAPTER 2, LAND DEVELOPMENT PROCESSION,
ARTICLE VI IMPACTED AND SELECTED FEES AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. >> MAYOR: THIS IS THE FIRST READING, MAY WE HAVE A PRESENTATION FOR 8F.
>> GOOD OONG. THIS IS AN AMENDMENT TO THE MOBILITY FEE, AND WE ARE IMPLEMENTING A PHASED IMPLEMENTATION RULEOUT OF THE FEE, SIMILAR TO WHEN WE DID THE UPDATE TO THE PARK IMPACT FEE, WE DID A THREE-YEAR ROLLOUT.
THIS ESTABLISHES THE PHASED SCHEDULE. AND IT ALLOWS FOR A ROLLOUT OVER THREE YEARS, THE FIRST YEAR WOULD IMPLEMENT A 10% DISCOUNT. THE FIRST YEAR WOULD BE A 15% DISCOUNT. THE SECOND YEAR 10, AND THE 3rd ONE A FIVE. WITH THE FULL FEE BEING IN
EFFECT OCTOBER 1, 2028. THERE ARE A FEW REASONS WHY THIS AMENDMENT IS BEFORE YOU, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE FOUND IS THAT THIS WOULD ENCOURAGE SOME EARLY DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY, IT ALLOWS AN EASE OF TRANSITION FOR A NEW FEE, IT ALIGNS WITH SOME
OF THE PAST PRACTICES THAT WE HAVE DONE HERE WITH THE CITY, WITH NEW FEES, AND IT SUPPORTS A FAIR AND TRANSPARENT FEE APPLICATION. I'M AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS. >> MAYOR: ANY COMMENTS OR
QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMISSION? >> MAYOR: MAY WE HAVE A MOTION. >> SO MOVED. >> SECOND. >> MAYOR: ALL THOSE IN FAVOR -- NO, ROLL CALL. I GOT IT.
IT'S ROLL CALL. >> MAYOR, I BELIEVE YOU NEED PUBLIC COMMENT? >> MAYOR: ANYONE HAVE PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS ONE? I'LL GET IT RIGHT ONE DAY, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. >> NO PUBLIC COMMENT BECAUSE
IT'S FIRST READING. >> COMMISSIONER KELLEY? >> YES. >> COMMISSION CANNER TURKIN? >> YES. >> COMMISSIONER CRUZ? >> YES. >> VICE MAYOR HAY? >> YES. >> MAYOR SHELTON? >> YES. >> PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. >> MAYOR: NEXT, WE'LL MOVE ON TO
THE CITY MANAGER'S REPORT. AS YOU GUYS CAN SEE, WE HAVE A PLETHORA OF FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS, I WANT TO GIVE A BRIEF UPDATE ON EACH OF THOSE. IF YOU WANT ANY SORT OF INDEPTH, GRANULAR, TECHNICAL DISCUSSION
AS TO A PARTICULAR ITEM, I CAN BRING THE STAFF MEMBER UP THERE AND THEY'LL PRESENT ON IT. THE FIRST IS A PRETTY BIG ITEM THAT WE WORKED A COUPLE YEARS ON. THE CITY STRATEGIC PLAN. MOST OF YOU KNOW THAT WE'VE HAD SEVERAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS, AND
OBJECTIVES AND GOALS THAT WE'VE MET. AS FOR AS THE CITY PRIORITY OF A CLEANER, SAFER CITY, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO PUBLIC SAFETY AND THE BEAUTIFICATION TEAM. GG, OUR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR, SHE'S GOING TO BE
DOING A PRESENTATION FOR YOU GUYS ON NOVEMBER 4, THE NEXT COMMISSION MEETING. THAT'S GOING TO BE FORTHCOMING. AND YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO SEE THE TANGIBLE ACCOMPLISHMENTS WE'VE HAD OVER THE PAST THREE YEARS. JOINT CITY AND CRA WORKSHOP, I
KNOW COMMISSIONER TURKIN, COMMISSIONER KELLEY, AND MAYOR SHELTON, YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN WORKING TIRELESSLY ON THE CRA SIDE MUCH THINGS TO BRING IN RMA AND GET A MORE COHESIVE WORKING RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CRA.
WE'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT. AND THE B & C GO HAND IN HAND, ONE IS GOING TO BE NOVEMBER 8, THE OTHER JANUARY 13th.
IF IT'S BEFORE A COMMISSION MEETING, MOST LIKELY IT'S GOING TO BE 5:00. IF IT'S A WORKSHOP? >> IT'S 9:00 A.M. ON SATURDAY. >> NOVEMBER 8th. >> IS THERE DISCUSSION REGARDING -- AND THIS IS D?
DISCUSSION REGARDING CREATING A BEAUTIFICATION BOARD, WHERE WE'RE GOING TO BE BRINGING THAT IN THE FUTURE FOR A CLEARER DIRECTION FROM THE BOARD. ITEM E, DISCUSSION REGARDING THE CITYWIDE MASTER PLAN, TO LIGHT IT UP. THAT'S COMMISSIONER TURKIN, AND
VICE MAYOR HAY. THAT WAS AN INITIATIVE OF YOU GUYS AND KEVIN WILL BE COMING AND PRESENTING AN AGENDA ITEM FOR THAT ON NOVEMBER 8th, AS FAR AS PARTNERING UP WITH THE CRA, AND WHENEVER RMA COMES IN, WE
CAN HAVE DISCUSSIONS REGARDING FUNDING. A LOT OF THE CRA DISTRICT, I'VE DRIVEN DOWN THE SOUTHERN PART AND THE NORTHERN PART, I LOOKED, THERE'S PROBABLY CLOSE TO 12 LIGHTS OUT, BUT I THINK WE COULD PROBABLY DO A LITTLE BIT MORE ON
THE BEAUTIFICATION AND AESTHETIC SIDE OF THAT, AND ALSO CHANGING MAYBE THE ELEMENT OF THE LIGHTS FROM WHAT IT IS, OR EITHER ADDING TO. WE'RE MOVING ON TO F, AND THAT'S
A DISCUSSION ON THE UTILITY LIFT STATION. THIS CAME OUT OF A PALM BEACH POST ARTICLE THAT WAS SEVERAL DECADES OLD, THAT THEY DID A STORY ON, AND IT WAS A LIFT STATION OVER BY THE BURGER KING,
EIGHTH STREET AND WOOLRITE ROAD. WE'RE STILL LOOKING INTO THAT, AND WE'RE PINNING SOME ADDITIONAL DIRECTION FROM THE BOARD, BUT I REALLY DON'T THINK IT'S NEEDED. I THINK WE'RE MOVING FORWARD AND WE ADDRESSED A LOT OF THAT.
G, DISCUSSION IN REGARDS TO AN ADDITIONAL AREA, THAT MIGHT BE AVAILABLE FOR FUTURE CEMETERY USE, I KNOW WE DID AN EXPANSION, WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF DOING AN EXPANSION OF SARAH SIMS. I WENT TO A TOWN HALL MEETING.
IN DISTRICT 2, WE HAD A MEETING WITH KEVIN RAMZI. HE WENT OVER THE ADDITIONAL PLOTS BEING ADDED. AS FAR AS AREAS, WE'VE LOOKED AT POSSIBLY EXPANDING AN AREA OVER
BY GALAXY MIDDLE SCHOOL, THE ISSUE WE HAVE, WE HAVE TO HAVE ROOM FOR A PROCESSION. IT'S IMPORTANT WE GET THE RIGHT LOCATION. WE ARE GOING TO NEED MORE TIME AS STAFF TO LAND IN THE CITY OF
BOYNTON BEACH IS EXTREMELY SPARSE RIGHT NOW. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WHATEVER LOCATION WE DO CHOSE IS THE CORRECT ONE. MOVING ON, IS H. A DISCUSSION REGARDING COMBINING CITY PROPERTIES TOGETHER TO CREATE SENIOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING. I KNOW WE WERE WAITING --
THERE'S AN IN LIEU OF HOUSING FUND THAT WE'RE -- AND THAT'S IN RELATION TO TIME EQUITY'S PROJECT THAT WE'RE WAITING ON HAVING ADDITIONAL FUNDING IN THE HOUSING FUND. AND ADAM, TEMPLE ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER, IF YOU WANT SOME
ADDITIONAL INSIGHT, YOU CAN ASK HIM ONE ON ONE, I WOULD SAY THEY'RE DUE TO BREAK GROUND IN OCTOBER 2026, WE'LL BE GETTING ADDITIONAL FUNDING INTO THAT AS WELL. SO MOVING ON TO --
>> MAYOR: CAN WE -- DAN, CAN WE -- IF THIS IS VICE MAYOR HAY'S ITEM, BUT MAYBE WE CAN ADD THAT TO THE JANUARY JOINT MEETING WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WITH THE CRA. TO PUT IT ON A CALENDAR DATE, SO WE CAN START HAVING THAT
DISCUSSION ABOUT MAYBE -- >> ADD TO THE SATURDAY WORKSHOP IN JANUARY? >> THAT JANUARY ONE THAT WE HAVE -- >> SATURDAY IS NOVEMBER. >> THAT WAY WE CAN -- SINCE THE NOVEMBER ONE IS PRETTY FULL OF WHAT WE HAVE GOING ON. MAYBE ADD IT TO JANUARY, AND WE CAN START THAT DISCUSSION.
WE MAY HAVE SOME PROPERTY THAT MAY -- WE MAY BE ABLE TO PARSE OUT AND DO A JOINT PROJECT OR SOMETHING. >> ABSOLUTELY. IF THAT'S OKAY. >> IF I COULD STEP BACK TO G FOR A MOMENT, ARE WE LOOKING AT
ANYTHING WEST OF I-95? PROBABLY NOT, THAT WOULD PROBABLY -- >> WE ARE LOOKING AT THINGS WEST OF I-95, BUT I'D RATHER NOT DISCLOSE THAT IN PUBLIC RIGHT YET. I'D RATHER KEEP IT TO SEE WHETHER OR NOT IT'S EVEN
FEASIBLE. BECAUSE THERE'S DIFFERENT THINGS WE HAVE TO LOOK AT, AS FAR AS LIKE SOME PROTECTED SPECIES THAT ARE IN THOSE AREAS. >> ONE THING I DO WANT TO MENTION, AND I KIND OF WANT TO
THROW IT OUT THERE FOR DISCUSSION, AS FAR AS THE SENIOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING, I KNOW OUR SENIOR CENTER IS IN BAD NEED OF RENOVATIONS, AND PROBABLY A NEW ONE NEEDS TO BE BUILT, BECAUSE NOT EVERY SENIOR WE HAVE LIVES
IN AN HOA, WHERE THEY CAN GO OUT AND PLAY BRIDGE, HAVE A GIN AND HAVE SOME FUN ON THE WEEKENDS AND THINGS LIKE THAT SOME OF OUR SENIORS STILL LIVE IN SINGLE
FAMILY RESIDENCE THAT THEY DON'T HAVE A CLUBHOUSE. WE HAVE ADDITIONAL PROPERTIES --
MAYBE A DEVELOPER COULD BUILD A SENIOR LIVING FACILITY THAT'S GOING TO BE VERY UNIQUE, AND AN ATTRIBUTE TO THE SENIOR COMMUNITY HERE. JUST ME THROWING IT OUT THERE. I THINK THERE COULD BE A P-3
OPPORTUNITY. MOVING FORWARD IS I. THIS IS A DISCUSSION REGARDING THE CODE OF ORDINANCE, THE QUESTION REQUESTED BY COMMISSIONER CRUZ AND ADDITIONAL
STAKEHOLDERS. WE HAD A MEETING AT 1:15? >> YES, WE HAD A MEETING, I'VE BEEN TRYING TO FOLLOW UP, AND WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO FIND A TIME WHERE ALL MEMBERS ARE AVAILABLE. >> DO YOU MIND IF I ASK A QUESTION, IF THIS IS THE RIGHT TIME OR AT THE END?
>> YOU CAN ASK IT NOW. >> WE DID HAVE SOMETHING REGARDING CONSTRUCTION HOURS AT A FUTURE AGENDA, THAT HAD BEEN TABLED, THERE WAS RESEARCH GOING ON. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT'S STILL ON THE AGENDA FOR FUTURE --
>> IT'S GOING TO BE ADDED AS A DISCUSSION ITEM. BECAUSE IT SEEMS THAT THERE WASN'T A CONSENSUS,ING WE NEED A DISCUSSION ITEM FOR MORE OF A CONSENSUS, INSTEAD OF JUST BRINGING IT AT FIRST READING. >> WELL, TO REFLECT THE RECORD
CORRECT BY. -- CORRECTLY. I DID REQUEST THAT BE CREATED AS A DISCUSSION. THERE WERE FIVE OUT OF FIVE COMMISSIONERS THAT AGREED TO HAVE THAT DISCUSSION. WE HAD MULTIPLE MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY COME IN AND TALK ABOUT THAT. SOMEHOW WE STARTED LOOKING INTO
IT ON THE BACK END AND IT KIND OF -- YOU KNOW, I DON'T -- I UNDERSTAND IT CAME BACK, AND MAYBE THERE WERE CHANGES WITH CERTAIN OPINIONS FROM OUR BOARD. BUT WE DID HAVE CONSENSUS ABOUT THAT IN THE PAST.
WE DID HAVE A TENTATIVE FIRST READING, BECAUSE WE DID HAVE CONSENSUS AT ONE POINT, WOULD I LIKE TO BRING IT BACK TO FUTURE AGENDA TO HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT WHAT WE HAD AGREED UPON DISCUSSING ORIGINALLY, IT WAS
SOMETHING THAT AFFECTED MY DISTRICT HEAVILY, AND WHEN WE HAD RESIDENTS COME IN AND TALK ABOUT THEIR CONCERNS, THE ENTIRE BOARD SAID THEY WERE ON BOARD WITH LOOKING AT SOLUTIONS, AND THEN AFTER THE FACT, WE'RE POTENTIALLY LOOKING. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE
CONTINUE ON THE RIGHT TRACK TO LOOK AT THE DETAILS OF WHAT WAS PROPOSED, SO WE CAN DETERMINE HOW WE WOULD LIKE TO MOVE FORWARD. >> I DEFINITELY UNDERSTAND, AND I'M MORE THAN HAPPY TO HAVE THAT DISCUSSION. SO I CAN EXPLAIN THE
PRACTICALITY OF WHEN YOU DO CONCRETE BOARDS IN THE MORNING, THAT IS IDEAL. I KNOW THERE'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE ISSUES, RIGHT? AND I THINK WE CAN ADDRESS THAT, I THINK ALLOWING STAFF TO HAVE THAT ADMINISTRATIVE AUTHORITY TO DO SO IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT, IS THE LAST THING WE WANT IS DELAY,
DELAY, DELAY. AND THEN I KNOW WHEN THIS WAS FIRST BROUGHT UP, THERE WAS A PLETHORA OF GC'S LOOKING TO ORGANIZE AND COME OUT AND SPEAK AGAINST THIS FOR THE PRACTICALITY, ALL I ASK, IS
BEFORE THE NEXT MEETING, DO SOME RESEARCH, FOCUS ON CONCRETE POURS. YOU COULD USE CHATGPT IF YOU WANT. GET EDUCATED AND KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT THIS -- >> WE'RE FOCUSING ON ONE PIECE. >> I'M NOT DONE, THANK YOU.
I WANT TO FINISH BY SAYING, I KNOW THE INTENTION IS GOOD, I AGREE WITH THE INTENTION OF DOING WHATEVER WE CAN TO MITIGATE THE AMOUNT OF NOISE THAT IS CONDUCTED EARLY IN THE MORNING, BECAUSE WE'RE SEEING THOSE ISSUES NOW. I'M NOT IN DISAGREEMENT, I THINK THAT WE HAVE TO BE VERY TACTFUL
AND MINDFUL WHEN WE'RE DISCUSSING THIS SO IT'S NOT LOOKED AT AS -- I'M NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO POUR CONCRETE IN THE MORNING. A LOT OF IT TOO IS TRAFFIC. THERE'S SO MUCH THAT GOES INTO IT, I ASK THAT EVERYONE DOES A LITTLE RESEARCH, MEETS WITH STAFF IF THEY NEED TO, MAYBE DO
SOME INDEPENDENT RESEARCH. WHETHER IT'S EARLY IN THE MORNING, LATE AT NIGHT, I DON'T KNOW. I JUST THINK IT'S IMPORTANT, BECAUSE THE LAST THING I WANT TO DO IS HAVE THE CITY SEND OUT A MESSAGE TO THE BUILDING COMMUNITY THAT WE'RE GOING TO MAKE IT EVEN MORE DIFFICULT TO GET THINGS DONE, BECAUSE THERE'S
ALREADY A PERCEPTION THAT HAVE, I KNOW ADAM AND THE BUILDING TEAM HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB OF ELIMINATING THE PERCEPTION OF PERMITTING ISSUES AND TRYING TO EXPEDITE THINGS. THE PERCEPTION. I'M NOT SAYING IT IS OR ISN'T, AND I AGREE WITH THE INTENTION,
IT'S GOOD, AND MINDFUL OF OUR RES RESIDENTS, I THINK THERE'S A HAPPY BALANCE. >> WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT ONCE IT COMES BACK. >> DAN, CONTINUE? >> THANK YOU, MAYOR. >> YOU'RE GOOD. SO WE'RE ON ITEM J.
AND THIS IS A DISCUSSION REGARDING THE EXPANSION OF SPOTS SOUTH OF BOYNTON BEACH BOULEVARD. THIS IS OUTSIDE THE CRA DISTRICT. THE CITY IS GOING TO PICK UP COSTS. ANY TIME WE LOOK AT INNOVATIVE
TECHNOLOGY, WE LOOK AT FUNDING METHODS. WE'RE GOING TO EXPAND THAT INTO FOREST PARK AND THE CHAPEL HILL AREA, WE HAD SPORADIC SHOOTINGS, ONE WAS TIED TO AN AMAZON
DELIVERY DRIVER OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT A COUPLE MONTHS AGO. THAT WAS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT WE DIDN'T EXPERIENCE. I SIGNED OFF ON THAT THIS WEEK, WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING THAT EXPANSION IN 45 DAYS.
FOREST PARK IS GOING TO BE GETTING LOOKED AT. WE'RE MOVING ON TO K. WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF INFORMATION, WE WANT TO BRING THAT BACK FOR FURTHER INPUT FROM THE CITY COMMISSION.
>> MAYOR: WITH THAT, DO WE BRING IT BACK IN THE NEXT FEW MEETINGS? I KNOW THAT ONE OF THE RESIDENTS IN GULF VIEW HARBOR WAS HAVING A SIGNIFICANT ISSUE. I DON'T KNOW IF -- >> LET ME BRING AMANDA UP. I CAN -- >> CAN WE -- >> I'M OKAY TO HAVE THAT AS A
DISCUSSION ITEM FOR THE NEXT MEETING. IF THERE'S CONSENSUS ON THIS BODY, AND MEET WITH STAFF AND DO SOME RESEARCH, BECAUSE I'M NOT COMPLETELY INFORMED ABOUT THIS, I DO REMEMBER THE YOUNG WOMAN, I THINK IT WAS YOUR CONSTITUENT THAT CAME UP, AND I THINK I AND
MAYBE OTHER MEMBERS OF THE DAIS DID ADDRESS STAFF TO LOOK INTO THIS, SO I WANT TO BE THE -- I WANT TO FOLLOW THROUGH, AND TAKE MY WORD IN DOING SO. I'M OKAY WITH THAT BUT THAT'S -- >> OKAY.
SO WE'RE GOING TO L RIGHT NOW, THIS IS A FOLLOW-UP ON THE STATE OF FLORIDA DOGE REQUEST. THERE ISN'T ANY CHANGE, ANYTHING I'VE SEEN FROM DOGE, AS FAR AS FOLLOWING ALL THE AUDITS THEY'RE
DOING, I HAVEN'T SEEN THEM CONCENTRATING ON A MUNICIPALITY YET, IT'S ALL BEEN COUNTY. I'VE SEEN BROWARD COUNTY, ORANGE COUNTY. I WANT TO SAY THEY WENT TO MANATEE COUNTY IN THE PANHANDLE. WE HAVEN'T HAD ANY SORT OF COMMUNICATION, BUT AS FAR AS
LIKE WE'VE FULFILLED EVERY SORT OF REQUEST THEY'VE HAD, WE'RE VERY TRANSPARENT. EVEN WITH OUR ANNUAL AUDITS, AND WE HAVE A -- WE HAVE A COMPANY THAT COMES IN, AND THEY AUDIT EVERYTHING. ALL THE INFORMATION IS DEFINITELY AVAILABLE. I CAN TELL YOU THAT SOME OF THE
WASTE THAT I'VE SEEN, WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING NEAR THAT HERE IN THE CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH. WE'RE NOT OFFERING FREE HOT YOGA GLASSES. >> UNLESS THE MAYOR'S THROWING A PILATES CLASS. >> THAT WAS PROBONO. >> RIGHT.
FOR THE RECORD -- >> WE PROBABLY NEEDED THE PARAMEDICS THERE THAT NIGHT. THE REACTION I WAS GETTING FROM YOU, DAN. I'M ON THE FLOOR. >> ONE THING ABOUT THE LIGHTING, TOO, I WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS -- I DO GET A LOT OF COMPLAINTS,
AND I'M SURE YOU DO TOO, IT'S VERY DARK WHEN WE'RE DOING THE TIME CHANGE. FOREST PARK, WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT MARKING AND THINGS TOO, IT GOES HAND IN HAND WITHOUT THE LIGHTING, YOU DON'T EVEN SEE THE CARS PARKED. IT MAY BE SOMETHING TO PUT ON OUR -- >> THIS IS SEGUEING INTO M, THAT
I WANT TO SPEAK ON -- KIND OF PIGGYBACK COMMISSIONER TURKIN FOR BRINGING THIS UP. FOR A LONG TIME, THE CITY DIDN'T HAVE A FEDERAL LOBBYIST. WE'VE SINCE BROUGHT ON A FEDERAL LOBBYIST, WE'VE HAD VERY SPIRITED CONVERSATIONS AND
MEETINGS WITH THAT FIRM, AND THEY HAVE BROUGHT BACK A PLETHORA OF FUNDING TO MULTIPLE DIFFERENT CITIES, AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT ANY TIME IT'S APPROVED IN WASHINGTON, THERE'S NO VETO POWER AS FAR AS WHEN IT COMES TO THE PRESIDENT, SO IT'S DIFFERENT
THAN WHEN WE GO FOR STATE APPROPRIATIONS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. I CAN TELL YOU THIS LAST YEAR, THE CITY OVER THE LAST DECADE THAT I CAN RECALL, AND ALL THE RESEARCH I'VE DONE, WE HAVEN'T HAD ANY APPROPRIATIONS COME FROM TALLAHASSEE, AND I SAW IT AS A WEAKNESS IN THE CITY, WE WOULD
REVAMP THE PROCESS, I CAN TELL YOU, YOU, MYRNA AND OTHERS MAKE SURE WE HAVE ALL OUR DUCKS IN A ROW. I WORK WITH MATT BALLARD, HE'S AN ADVOCATE FOR GETTING OUR
APPROPRIATIONS WHERE THEY NEED TO BE. HE KNOWS THE INS AND OUTS OF THOSE PROCESSES, LAST YEAR, MOST OF YOU KNOW, WE GOT $875,000 BACK IN STATE APPROPRIATIONS FOR THE UTILITY DEPARTMENT. SO I CAN TELL YOU OUR FIRM WE HAVE UP THERE, WE ESSENTIALLY
PAID FOR THEMSELVES FOR THE NEXT 20 YEARS, WE'RE NOT GOING TO STOP THERE, THOUGH, AND I THINK IF WE CAN -- I'M GOING TO WORK WITH MYRNA AND CAN DIS, AND SEE IF THERE'S ANY PROGRAMS WE CAN
APPLY FOR FOR GRANTS FOR ADDITIONAL LIGHTING. ANY TIME A NEW BUSINESS COMES INTO THE CITY, WE DO THESE ASSESSMENTS FOR A SAFETY ASPECT. AND I'M SURE THERE'S PROBABLY GRANT OPPORTUNITIES OR APPROPRIATIONS AND OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE. >> MAYOR?
>> YES. >> JUST TO PIGGYBACK ON THAT, WITH RESPECT TO THE GRANT AND APPROPRIATION REQUEST, THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT JURISDICTIONS LIKE FIND, FWC, A LOT OF THESE OTHER INDIVIDUAL JURISDICTIONS
ARE TAXING DISTRICTS, THAT WE CAN GET GRANTS FOR, THAT THE IDEA IS -- A LOT OF THEM ARE ENVIRONMENTALLY FOCUSED, ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY, PROTECTS A CERTAIN SPECIES, BUT PLAY A MUCH LARGER MACRO ROLE IN
WHAT THE ACCOMPLISHMENT IS FOR THAT REQUEST, SO I DEFINITELY WANT TO DIVE INTO THAT, I THINK WE'RE MISSING THE BALL ON THAT AND I DON'T KNOW. I THINK IT'S A MATTER OF NOT KNOWING WHAT'S OUT THERE, OR MAYBE MISSING THE CYCLE OF WHEN
YOU CAN REQUEST. I WANT TO KEEP OUR EYES OPEN ON THAT. IF WE GET CREATIVE, WE CAN BRING EVEN MORE FUNDS BACK TO THE CITY. IT'S JUST ABOUT IDENTIFYING HOW YOU CAN FIND MUTUAL BENEFIT FOR WHAT THAT REQUEST,AND HOW IT CAN
HAVE A RIPPLE EFFECT, AND WHATEVER ELSE IT IS AFFECTS AND IMPACTING. DO WE HAVE A MEETING NAILED DOWN FOR THIS? >> I DON'T THINK WE HAVE A MEETING NAILED DOWN. IF YOU WANT TO LOOK AT -- I KNOW WE'RE LOOKING AT COMBINING HALF
THE AGENDA ON THE FIRST MEETING, DECEMBER, THE OTHER HALF OF THE MEETING. THE FIRST HALF OF JANUARY, AS FAR AS LIKE WHAT YOU GUYS BROUGHT UP. ANNUALLY, TYPICALLY, WE SKIPPED THE LATTER MEETING IN DECEMBER. AND SO I'M ASSUMING THAT YOU
BROUGHT THAT UP AS FAR AS FOR FUTURE DISCUSSIONS, SO IF JANUARY WOULD WORK, I THINK MAYBE WE COULD -- >> SESSION IS IN JANUARY. >> SESSION STARTS IN JANUARY, CORRECT. I WANT TO SAY THE NEXT YEAR, SESSION IS GOING TO START IN
MARCH, AND THEY ALTERNATE BETWEEN JANUARY AND MARCH. IF YOU WANT TO DO IT EARLIER. >> YES. >> OKAY. >> LET ME GET WITH CANNDACE AND SEE WHAT WORKS FOR THEM.
>> WHEN IS THE DEADLINE? FOR SUBMITTING APPROPRIATIONS FOR THIS SESSION. HAVE WE SUBMITTED ANY? THAT WAS MY WHOLE IDEA OF HAVING THIS MEETING TO IDENTIFY WHAT THE HOUSE IS LOOKING AT, WHAT THE GOVERNOR MAY OR MAY NOT
VETO, THE FLAVOR CHANGES EVERY YEAR. THANK YOU, CANDACE. >> CANDACE, WE ARE LOOKING AT FOUR PROJECTS RIGHT NOW, WE'RE GOING TO SUBMIT FOR THE HIGH
WATER VEHICLE THAT FD HAD, THAT WE SUBMITTED FOR LAST YEAR, WE IDENTIFIED AN INITIAL UTILITIES PROJECT, WE'RE WORKING WITH HUNAM AND I SHOULD BE GETTING WITH HER TOMORROW ON ANOTHER PROJECT IDEA. WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT A PUBLIC
WORKS PROJECT THAT'S PUBLIC SAFETY RELATED THAT I DISCUSSED WITH ANDREW, AND WE HAVE ANOTHER ONE THAT WE'RE ALSO DISCUSSING, SO WE'RE LOOKING AT ABOUT FOUR OF THEM TO RESUBMIT, BECAUSE SESSION IS EARLIER, AND WE ENDED OUR BUDGET PROCESS, AT THE END
OF SEPTEMBER. WE HAVE OUR CIP COME OUT, WE HAD TO IDENTIFY WHAT WE BUDGETED FOR THAT MADE SENSE TO GO AHEAD AND SUBMIT, WE'RE WORKING ON DOCUMENTATION NOW. AND WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND GIVE TO DAN TO LOOK AT, AND WE CAN SUBMIT THAT TO THE
COMMISSION, SO YOU CAN SEE THE PROJECTS AND DESCRIPTIONS. THE ACTUAL DEADLINE IS IN NOVEMBER, BUT WE'RE GIVING IT TO MATT AT THE END OF THIS MONTH, THEN HE'LL HAVE TO VOLLEY THE MEMBERS TO SEE WHO WILL SUPPORT IT. >> THAT WAS GOING TO BE MY QUESTION. SO WE HAVEN'T NAILED DOWN WHO WE
WANT TO HAVE SPONSOR OR SPEER HEAD THESE? >> I AM -- I DON'T WANT TO -- >> I HAVE SPOKEN TO A FEW LEGISLATORS THAT ARE OPEN AND WILLING. WE JUST NEED TO NAIL DOWN A DISCUSSION. >> CAN YOU GO INTO REPRESENTATIVE CASSELL LOW'S SPONSORS, THAT HE -- THE
PROJECTS THAT HE SPONSORED LAST YEAR? >> WE CAN SEND EVERYTHING TO YOU. THE REASON WE COULDN'T DO THIS MEETING IN OCTOBER WAS BECAUSE MATT HAD COMMITTEE MEETINGS, THAT'S WHY I COULDN'T SET IT UP, HE WOULD ONLY KNOW A WEEK OUT, THAT WASN'T GOING TO GIVE US TIME TO SET THAT. HE DIDN'T KNOW IF HE WAS
AVAILABLE OR NOT. >> UNDERSTANDABLE. >> I'LL GET WITH YOU OFFLINE ABOUT THAT. >> OKAY. >> IF WE'RE RUNNING INTO A TIME CONSTRAINT, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT OBVIOUSLY THIS IS GOING TO BE A REVOLVING THING
THAT WE'RE GOING TO GO INTO ANNUALLY, ON THE FEDERAL SIDE AND THE STATE SIDE, SO THERE'S GOING TO BE VALUABLE INSIGHT THAT WHATEVER COMES OUT OF THESE DISCUSSIONS THAT WE CAN USE IN THE FUTURE. >> AND THAT COMPLETES YOUR UPDATE.
>> THANK YOU. >> QUESTION. IS THERE ANYTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT REPLACING -- DO WE HAVE ANY LEVERAGE ON JUST REPLACING THE LIGHTING THAT'S OUT ON THE
STREETS. DO WE HAVE ANY -- >> WE HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE ON STREETS THAT, THEY WILL GO OUT EARLY MORNING OR IN THE EVENINGS AND DO AN ASSESSMENT, WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS SHORE THAT UP, AND THE ASSESSMENTS NEED TO PROBABLY
BE A LITTLE MORE FREQUENTLY, WE DO HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE AMY KEMP THAT WE WORK WITH WITH FPL. I THINK AS LONG AS WE PROVIDE THE EXACT LOCATIONS TO HER, FPL HAS BEEN FAIRLY RESPONSIBLE. A LOT BETTER THAN WE WERE -- YOU
HAD LIGHTING ISSUES IN FOREST PARK, IT TOOK US FIVE, SIX, SEVEN MONTHS TO TRY TO RECTIFY, SINCE AMY CAME IN AND SHE'S OUR DIRECT REPRESENTATIVE, WE HAVEN'T RAN INTO THOSE DELAYS. >> WHEN WE HAVE LIGHTS OUT, SHOULD WE REPORT THAT TO ANDREW
OR TO CANDACE OR AMY? >> AMY DIRECTLY. >> AMY KEMP, YEAH. EITHER WAY, SHE'LL MAKE SURE IT GETS TAKEN CARE OF. >> VERY RESPONSIVE. ALWAYS NOLLS UP.
I WOULD -- COMMISSION HAY, I WOULD DIRECTLY REFER THOSE RESIDENTS OR SEND AN EMAIL YOURSELF. OR HAVE SOMEONE SEND AN EMAIL WITH AMY. AND SHE'LL BE ON IT. >> I'M SURE MEGAN WILL GET THE INFORMATION FORRER HAD, AND SHE'LL BE ABLE TO FOLLOW UP WITH
ANY KRNZ YOUR RESIDENTS HAVE. MEGAN CAN DO THAT AS WELL. >> THERE'S A LITTLE METAL PLAQUE ON EACH POLE, THEY JUST NEED THAT NUMBER. IT'S THE LIGHTING POLL NUMBER, AND THEY MAP IT, AND THEY CAN LOOK IT UP AND SEE EXACTLY IF IT'S A -- WHAT TYPE OF LIGHT IT IS TOO.
SO IT MAKES IT EASIER. >> MAYOR: OKAY. MOVING ON. ON THE REGULAR AGENDA, WE WILL DISCUSS THE PARKING ORDINANCE THAT WAS TABLED ON THE SEPTEMBER 2nd COMMISSION MEETING. STAFF, WOULD YOU LIKE TO BEGIN? >> THANK YOU.
92 GOOD EVENING, MAYOR, VICE MAYOR, COMMISSIONERS. WE'RE JUST BRINGING THIS BACK FOR A DISCUSSION TO GET CLARITY ON THE SIDEWALK, WHICH SHAWNA WILL GO OVER AGAIN, AND THEN ALSO THE PART WHERE A COUPLE OF
YOU THOUGHT THAT EIGHT HOURS WAS TOO SHORT OF AN EXCEPTION FOR ALLOWING PARKING ON THE STREET OR PARKING ON THE GRASS, SO JUST WANT TO KIND OF GET YOUR -- I DO HAVE A PRESENTATION FROM LAST TIME. I JUST SHORTENED IT TO THE
CURRENT ORDINANCE FOR 14-5 IF YOU WANT ME TO GO THROUGH IT AGAIN WITH THE OPTIONS FROM THE OTHER CITIES OR JUST -- OKAY. WE'LL JUST GO TO DISCUSSION. >> I DID SEND A MEMO REGARDING THE CONSTITUTIONALITY AND
POTENTIAL VIABILITY -- LIABILITY OF NOT ENFORCING STOPPING OR PARKING OVER A SIDEWALK, AND I'M SURE YOU'VE ALL HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO READ THAT. I WOULD ENCOURAGE THE COMMISSION
THAT WE EITHER LEAVE WHEN -- WHICH IS 1B, EITHER LEAVE IT THE WAY IT IS. DO YOU HAVE WHAT WE PROPOSED FOR THE NEXT -- >> OH, NO. I DON'T OFTEN IT ON THE ATTACHMENT. >> OKAY. OR THE CHANGE WHICH KIND OF JUST
MAKES THE DEFINITION OF A LITTLE BIT MORE CLEAR, WHICH WAS REQUESTED BY THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, BUT ADAM HAS SPOKEN WITH THE CHIEF, AND I THINK THE POLICE DEPARTMENT IS OKAY WITH LEAVING 1B THE WAY IT IS, BUT WE SHOULD NOT REMOVE IT FROM OUR ORDINANCE.
>> CORRECT. >> MAYOR: AGREE. >> SO IF YOU GUYS ARE IN AGREEMENT WITH REGARD TO 1B, WE CAN LEAVE IT THE WAY IT IS. OKAY. >> SO IS THERE A CONSENSUS ON THAT? >> I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION.
>> SURE. >> WE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE. THERE WERE HOMES PUT IN AND THEN SIDEWALKS PUT ON. SO YOU HAVE THE HOME, YOU HAVE THE SIDEWALK, AND THEN YOU HAVE A PIECE OF THEIR, THEIR DRIVEWAY. THEY'RE ALLOWED TO PARK THERE BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT BLOCKING THE SIDEWALK, CORRECT? >> YEAH, YOU CAN PARK IN YOUR DRIVEWAY APRON. >> BUT IT'S ON THE OPPOSITE OF
THE SIDEWALK. >> YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE APRON. >> YEAH, THAT'S THE DRIVEWAY APRON. >> YOU STILL PARK THERE, THEN HAVE THAT -- >> AS LONG AS -- THE PROBLEMS, THE ISSUES THAT WE WERE GETTING. >> BECYEAH BECAUSE PEOPLE WERE GETTING CITED FOR PARKING
IN THE APRON EVEN THOUGH WHEN THEY BOUGHT THE HOUSE IT WASN'T THERE AND THE CITY CAME IN. I'M NOT -- I HAVE BEEN VERY VOCAL. >> MAYBE WE NEED SOME CLARIFICATION WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT THAT DRIVEWAY APRON PARKING IS NOT THE SIDEWALK. >> YEAH. >> NO, IT IS NOT. >> BUT IT'S OVER THE SIDEWALK, SO WHEN YOU HAVE A VEHICLE, AND
THEN ONE BEHIND IT, THAT VEHICLE IS THEN IN THE DRIVEWAY, TECHNICALLY OVER THE SIDEWALK, BUT ALSO IN THE APRON. >> OH. >> COMMISSIONER,. >> NO YOU CAN'T DO THAT. >> IF I MAY. I MAY PROVIDE A RECOMMENDATION. I MEAN, THE ADA ACCESSIBILITY
CODE REQUIRES A 36-INCH WIDTH FOR ACCESSIBILITY. SO WE MAY WANT TO -- WE MAY WANT TO ADD THE 36 INCHES IN THERE BECAUSE YOU COULD POTENTIALLY HAVE A BUMPER PARTIALLY OBSTRUCTING A SIDEWALK, BUT THEN YOUR APRON COULD BE WIDE OPEN SO
SOMEBODY COULD GO AROUND THAT AND STILL MAINTAIN ACCESSIBILITY. SO IT MAY BE BENEFICIAL TO CLARIFY THE 36 INCHES. >> I HAVE A CONCERN WITH THAT. BECAUSE. >> I'M TOO SOLUTION ORIENTED.
>> BECAUSE WHEN SOMEONE ENTERS IN A WHEELCHAIR IN AN APRON YOU HAVE CERTAIN GRADING IN YOUR APRON WHICH MAY NOT BE ADA COMPLIANT WITH REGARD TO THE GRADING. SO POTENTIALLY THE PERSON IN THE WHEELCHAIR COULD POTENTIALLY GO AROUND THE VEHICLE TO GO IN THE
APRON. YES IT'S WIDE ENOUGH FOR THE ADA BUT IS THE GRADE APPROPRIATE SO THAT COULD POTENTIALLY BE A PROBLEM TO YOUR SOLUTION. >> I GUESS MY QUESTION REALLY WAS NOT PARKING NORTH TO SOUTH. IT WOULD BE -- LIKE IF THEY'RE
PARKING NORTH -- SORRY, THEY'RE PARKING -- MY GOD. THEY'RE PARKING NORTH TO SOUTH IN OUR CASE, FACING THE HOUSE AND THEN THAT APRON THEY'RE PARKING WE SAY TO -- EAST TO WEST. >> IF YOUR VEHICLE FITS, THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY.
IF YOUR VEHICLE FITS, ORSWRAWNTAL -- HORIZONTAL, THEN IT'S OKAY FOR IT TO GO -- ALONG -- YEAH SIDE TO SIDE. ALONG THE SWALE. BUT NOT ACROSS IT. >> YEAH AND PEOPLE WERE DOING THAT AND THEN LIKE THE ARGUMENT
OR CONVERSATION POINT IS LIKE OKAY, WELL, WHAT IF, WHAT IF LIKE SOMEONE'S DAUGHTER OR SON NEEDS TO RUSH TO THE HOSPITAL. NOW YOU GOT TO STO STOP. YOU GOT TO PULL THE CAR OUT, AND I THINK THERE ARE FRANKLY DOZENS AND DOZENS AND OTHER THINGS THAT IS THE CODE AND THE POLICE
DEPARTMENT SHOULD BE FOCUSED ON, AT LEAST IN THE EAST BOYNTON BEACH RATHER THAN PARKING ON THE SIDEWALK IN THE APRON. I UNDERSTAND THE ADA CONCERN, BUT I JUST, YOU KNOW, I LIKE THE POTENTIAL SOLUTION OF WHAT ADAM WAS TALKING ABOUT.
IF THAT'S LEGALLY SUFFICIENT. DOESN'T SEEMS LIKE MAYBE NO. BUT YOU KNOW, THIS IS JUST A, YOU KNOW, STUCK IN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE. >> UNFORTUNATELY, IF THERE IS A,
AND I DON'T KNOW IF THIS CITY HAS EVER HAD AN, AD CHALLENGE, BUT THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE COMES IN, AND WHEN THEY COME IN, THEY JUST DON'T LOOK AT ARE YOU ENFORCING THE CITY SIDEWALKS AND ARE YOU ADA COMPLIANT. THEY DON'T LOOK AT THAT.
THEY LOOK AT EVERY SINGLE THING THE CITY DOES TO MAKE SURE IT'S ADA COMPLIANT. AND IF THEY FIND THAT THERE ARE ANY DEFICIENCIES, THEY ENTER A CONSENT DECREE. AND REQUIRE YOU WITHIN A CERTAIN
AMOUNT OF TIME TO MAKE THOSE ADA CHANGES. IT'S VERY, VERY EXPENSIVE. SO I WOULD JUST ENCOURAGE THE COMMISSION WHILE I GET THAT THOSE PHONE CALLS ARE PAINFUL, HAVING THE MONEY YOU WOULD HAVE TO SPEND TO POTENTIALLY MAKE ALL
THE CHANGES WOULD BE A FINANCIAL BURDEN ON THE CITY. >> MAYOR: I THINK IT WOULD BE A GOOD THING THAT WE EDUCATE PEOPLE TOO, MUCH LIKE WE DID WHEN WE CHANGED THE BULK TRASH DAY AND WE HAD TO DO THAT A COUPLE TIMES. >> YEP. >> MAYOR: SO THE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE THESE VARIANCES WHEN IT COULD HAPPEN
WITH GRADUATION PARTIES OR WHATEVER. BUT I DO THINK THAT LAW ENFORCEMENT AND CODE IS GOING TO BE PRETTY BUSY SEEING THE NINE CARS PARKED CRISSCROSS ON THE GRASS AND BLOCKING ALL SIDEWALKS AND BOTH SIDES OF THE ROAD AND WE'RE STILL DEALING WITH THAT ON NINTH, TENTH, MY STREET 5:00 ON
A SATURDAY MORNING, ALL THE WAY TOWARDS 95, IT'S, YOU CAN'T GET THROUGH. SO WHEN WE HAVE AN INCIDENT WHERE FIRE AND POLICE CAN'T GET THROUGH, AND WE'RE IN TROUBLE FOR THAT, YOU KNOW, I WOULD LIKE TO JUST MAKE SURE WE'RE EDUCATING PEOPLE PROPERLY AND THEY'RE GOING TO BE PRETTY BIG ON THE FINES. THEY'RE GOING TO BE PRETTY BIG
WRITING CITATIONS AND STUFF FOR A WHILEN TILL PEOPLE LEARN. >> THEY WILL GET THROUGH BUT THEY WON'T BE HAPPY ABOUT IT. FD WILL GET THROUGH. >> I THINK WE CAN PROBABLY DO A BETTER JOB OF PROVIDING APPROPRIATE DIRECTION TO CODE, BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A
DISCRETIONARY ISSUE, AND I'LL GIVE YOU A PERFECT ANALOGY LIKE FROM MY POINT OF VIEW. DO YOU WANT THE POLICE CONCONCENTRATING ON JAYWALKING OR CONCENTRATING ON NARCOTICS TRAFFICKING AND I THINK WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE EGREGIOUS STYLE INCIDENTS THAT YOU GUYS ARE
BRINGING UP WITH NINE, TEN, 11, 12 CARS, I CAN TELL YOU TODAY I GOT A COMPLAINT FROM A RESIDENT PROVIDED THE EXACT ADDRESS WHEN WE DROVE BY, ME ANDREW, AND ADAM, ALL DROVE BY THE ADDRESS, IT WAS, THERE WAS PROBABLY 9 TO
10 CARS PARKED ON THE PROPERTY, AND IT WAS IN FOREST PARK, AND I WANT TO SAY WE WERE HAVING THAT ADDRESSED, AND I THINK INSTEAD OF HAVING CODE CONCENTRATE ON THOSE NUANCED STYLE FINES, OF ONE CAR PARKING ON, THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME SORT OF LEEWAY
PROVIDED TO, EXACTLY, AND WE NEED TO KIND OF MAYBE REAFFIRM THE TRAINING ASPECT OF WE NEED TO CONCENTRATE ON THE EGREGIOUS OFFENDERS AND MAYBE NOT LOOK AT THE SMALL NUANCED ITEMS THERE, AND THAT'S MY RESPONSIBILITY, SO
I'LL WORK WITH ADAM AND CODE AND TRY TO GIVE A LITTLE BIT BETTER DIRECTION ON WHAT THE, WHAT THE OVERALL BOARD WANTS. >> NO, IT'S ALL ABOUT EDUCATION AND EDUCATION, EDUCATION. I WOULD RATHER SEE SOMEBODY GOING OUT THERE AND RE-- YOU KNOW, WHEN THEY'RE SIX INCHES OVER THE SIDEWALK JUST HAVING A
CONVERSATION AND REMINDING THEM THAT THEY JUST NEED TO BE MINDFUL OF IT. AND YOU KNOW, I THINK THE BIGGEST COMPLAINT THAT WE HEAR, AND I'VE GOTTEN THE E-MAILS AND EVERYTHING TOO, ARE IS WELL, ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU KNOW ALL OF THE
SUDDEN I'M GETTING FINED, L OF A SUDDEN THIS HAS COME TO LIGHT AND INSTEAD OF US BEING MORE JUST EDUCATION DRIVEN AND PROACTIVE, WE'RE, WE'RE QUICK TO FINE SOMEONE WHO MAYBE WAS -- WE HAVEN'T DONE IT IN MANY YEARS,
AND SO I THINK WE HAVE TO BE VERY MINDFUL OF THAT WHEN WE'RE DOING SOMETHING, AND I TOTALLY, YOU KNOW, IT'S THE LAW AND WE HAVE TO PROVIDE ADA ACCESSIBILITY, AND SO WE WANT TO BE MINDFUL OF THAT, BUT, SO I THINK IN INSTANCES LIKE THAT,
YOU KNOW, WE CARVE OUT, YOU KNOW, MORE OF AN EDUCATION AND THAN JUST BEING QUICK TO FINE AS OPPOSED TO WHEN YOU HAVE NINE, TEN, 11 CARS YOU HAVE THE, THE EGREGIOUS OFFENSES WHERE YOU CAN'T EVEN SEE THE FRONT YARD
BECAUSE IT'S COVERED IN JUNKYARD CARS, YOU KNOW, SO THAT'S MY THOUGHT ON THAT. >> MAYOR: MY QUESTION WOULD ALALSO BE WE KNOW THERE IS A CERTAIN TIME THAT THESE PROBLEMS ARE HAPPENING. SO IF YOU'RE GOING TO LOOK FOR IT ON A FRIDAY AT 2:00 MAYBE YOU
DID FIND ONE TODAY BUT THAT'S PRETTY RARE BECAUSE MOST OF THEIR PROPERTIES ARE LIVI -- LEAVING AT 5:00, 6:00 IN THE MORNING AND WORKING UNTIL 8:00, 9:00 AT NIGHT SO YOU'RE NOT SEEING IT. I GET UP AND WALK TO THE BEACH AT 5:00 IN THE MORNING NOW. NOW I'M OBSESSED WITH DRIVING
THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND NOW IT'S LATE AT NIGHT AND EARLY IN THE MORNING. THAT'S THE PROBLEM WHEN KIDS ARE GOING TO SCHOOL AND MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS GOING INTO THE TIME CHANGE SO I HOPE THAT WE CAN FIGURE OUT THAT WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY TO BE DEALING WITH THIS STUFF. STLOO WE HAVE IT FIGURED OUT, MAYOR. YEAH, AND I CAN ALSO TELL YOU GUYS THAT WE'VE LOOKED AT THE
ANALYTICS AND YOU GUYS GET YOUR DISTRICT REPORTS FROM THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, AND WE'VE MIGRATED A LOT OF THAT STUFF OVER TO OUR SAGES SYSTEM NOW VERSUS WHAT WE HAD PREVIOUSLY IN THE PAST, SO ANY SORT OF ANALYTICS OR DATA THAT YOU GUYS NEED TO REQUEST FROM CODE, YOU GUYS ARE WELCOME TO DO THAT AND SEE WHETHER OR
NOT THESE ISSUES ARE BEING ADDRESSED. THAT WAY YOU CAN LOOK, SEE WHATEVER THE ADDRESSES ARE, WHERE THEY FALL, AND YOU'LL HAVE THAT DATA. >> MAYOR: OKAY. >> I WANT TO THANK -- SORRY. I WANT TO THANK -- >> NO, I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT I JUST LIKE TO MAKE SURE THAT
IT'S EVENLY DISTRIBUTED AMONG THE ENTIRE CITY. WHICH I'M SURE IT WILL BE. BUT THIS IS ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY THAT I SEE COULD BE SUBJECTIVE TO SOME DEGREE, AND I'VE ALREADY
HAD SOME COMPLAINTS ABOUT OTHER AREAS THAT'S ALSO SUBJECTIVE. SO JUST, WE JUST NEED TO STAY ON TOP OF IT. EDUCATE OUR CITIZENS ON WHAT'S COMING, WHAT ARE THE DOES AND DON'T AND MAKE SURE THAT WE
DON'T USE THIS AS A TOOL TO, AS A GOTCHA TYPE OF THING. AND SO WE JUST NEED TO BE CAREFUL, NOT CAREFUL BUT RESPONSIVE ON HOW WE MOVE THIS AHEAD AND ROLL IT OUT.
THAT'S, THOSE ARE MY CONCERNS. >> MAYOR: YES. >> I DID WANT TO THANK OUR CITY ATTORNEY FOR KEEPING US SAFE LEGALLY BECAUSE THOSE ARE LEGITIMATE CONCERNS. >> YES. >> SO THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT UP AND MAKING SURE WE'RE SAFE IN THAT WAY. AND THEN, DAN, THANK YOU FOR LOOKING INTO THAT AND ALSO MAYBE
ALONG THOSE LINES MAYBE IMPLEMENTING SOME SORT OF LIKE A WARNING SYSTEM FOR FIRST-TIME OFFENDERS AND AS MENTIONED EARLIER BY COMMISSIONER KELLEY, FOCUSING ON THE BILL OFFENDERS THAT ARE, YOU KNOW, THE MOST EGREGIOUS. >> RIGHT. >> MAYOR: AGREE. >> ARE WE GOING TO BE POSTING ON
OUR SOCIAL MEDIA, LIKE OUR FACEBOOK OR THINGS OF THAT NATURE OF LIKE -- >> YEAH, WE'LL -- >> WHAT THE CHANGES ARE -- >> YEAH, WE'LL PUT TOGETHER. CODE EN ENFORCEMENT RECENTLY DID A WHAT TO DO AND WHAT NOT TO DO DIAGRAM
GRAPHICALLY SO THIS IS A VERY EASY THING FOR THEM TO DO. THEY CAN SHOW HOW TO PARK ON THE APRON HORIZONTALLY. SO WE'LL PUT SOMETHING TOGETHER AND MAKE SURE THAT GETS OUT. >> MAYOR: YOU KNOW, THAT IT'S, THAT WE DO HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE IN WHEELCHAIRS OR THINGS LIKE THAT AND THAT'S WE BECAUSE I THINK SOME PEOPLE JUST DON'T KNOW THAT.
THEY JUST THINK HEY, I'M JUST GOING PARK WHEREVER I WANT. OR THE SCHOOL BUS CONCERN OR THE PUBLIC SAFETY CONCERN. SO IF THAT CAN BE PART OF THE MESSAGE, THAT WOULD PROBABLY HELP A LOT OF US UP HERE. >> AGREE. >> AGREED. >> MAYOR: OKAY. >> OKAY. >> MAYOR: DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY FINAL COMMENTS FOR TONIGHT?
>> YES. >> MAYOR: OH, GO FOR IT. >> SO -- I'M SORRY, BEFORE -- >> GO AHEAD. >> SO WE'RE GOING TO BRING THIS BACK SECOND READING WITH NO CHANGES AS IT IS RIGHT NOW? OKAY? >> MAYOR: CORRECT. >> OKAY, THANK YOU. >> I DON'T BELIEVE THEY APPROVED IT ON FIRST READING. SO I BELIEVE WE MIGHT NEED TO
BRING IT BACK ON FIRST READING. >> I JUST WANT CLARITY ON OUR NEXT FEW MEETINGS IN THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER, DECEMBER. ARE THERE, WHAT ARE THE EXCEPTION DIFFERENCES IF ANY?
SO WE WILL BE MEETING ON THE FOURTH, 11th, 18th, THOSE, FOR THE COMMISSION MEETINGS? >> THE 10th. >> 4th AND 18th. >> CRA IS IS THE 10th. >> VETERANS DAY IS THE 11th. >> YEAH.
>> SO THE CRA MEETING IS MOVED TO THE 10th. >> MAYOR: YEAH, SO 4th 10th IS CRA. >> 10th IS CRA. MM-HMM AND THEN THE MONTH OF DECEMBER? >>> LET'S SEE. >> MAYOR: THE 2nd. >> THE 2nd AND THE 16th.
>> SO THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT. MAYBE, MY POSITION IS MAYBE NOT DOING A MEETING ON THE 16th, AND MOVING AGENDA ITEMS UP, AND FORWARD FOR THE MEETING ON THE,
WHAT IS THAT, THE 2nd. AS WELL AS THE ONE IN FIRST ONE IN JANUARY, WHICH I THINK IS THE 6th. >> I WOULD AGREE WITH THAT. >> MAYOR: YEAH, I WILL NOT BE HERE ON THE 16th. I DID GET INVITED TO GO TO HARVARD DECEMBER. YEAH. >> DOES THAT PRESENT A PROBLEM
WITH STAFF? >> DAN? >> DAN? >>> I BELIEVE THAT WE TABLED ANNEXATION TO THE MEETING ON JANUARY 16th SO UNLESS YOU GUYS WANT TO MOVE THAT ONE MORE MEETING UP. >> NO, I THINK -- >> NOT UP. >> I THINK DECEMBER 16th IS FINE.
DO WE NEED A MOTION OR ANYTHING? >> WELL, I'M SORRY, YOU ARE KEEPING THAT FIRST MEETING IN JANUARY OR NO? >> YES. >> YOU ARE EOKAY, YEAH. NO, WE DON'T NEED -- YOU CAN DO A CONSENSUS. >> YEAH, I'M OKAY TO FOREGO AND CONSOLIDATE THE ITEMS ON THE
16th WITH THE MEETING ON THE 2nd OR THE -- SECOND. AND THEN THE JANUARY 6th MEETING. >> MAYOR: PERFECT. OKAY. >> OKAY? >> MAYOR: ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE A MOTION TO ADJOURN THE MEETING? >> SO MOVED. >> SECOND. >> MAYOR: WE HAVE A MOTION TO ADJOURN THE MEETING. A SECOND. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.
WITH NO FURTHER BUSINESS, MEETING IS ADJOURNED AT 8 -- >> 7:45. >> I CAN'T READ MY WATCH EAR
ANYTHING RIGHT NOW.
