members. >> I'm here. We have really short agenda reviews. >> [laughter] >> I know. >> We we can go ahead and get started. So, uh >> We have consensus on everything, basically, right? >> Yeah, pretty pretty pretty much.
>> [laughter] >> This is my time to This is my time to add all kinds of stuff. >> Oh, yeah. >> [laughter] >> We can just fill the future agenda items up. >> [laughter] >> All right, guys. Let me brainstorm. What do we need to do?
>> Um item 3A, uh this commission meeting's going to start at 5:30 as opposed to 6:00. And that's for you guys to conduct um the first reading
of the um amendment to the comprehensive plan. And that's obviously the uh updates and the revisions that we spoke about previously. So, we're [clears throat] going to uh be meeting 30 minutes prior.
And um Amanda, will the consultant be there as well? >> The consultant will be there. Um right now the plan is for me to do the presentation, though. Uh we've also distributed the goals, objectives, and policies as
well as an executive summary that summarizes um the themes of the changes throughout the the amendments. >> Did you already send all the the executive summary to all the elected officials? >> Yes. Yes, sir. I did. >> Okay. >> All right. Thank you, Mel. >> Mhm.
>> Um we have no announcements this time. Uh public audience is now five, so you're going to see this agenda is a little different based on the fact that we put the uh comprehe- comprehensive plan as a three. >> So we're doing this as we're starting
the meeting at 5:30 and we're just rolling straight from the comprehensive plan into the regular agenda is that we're doing? >> Yeah, because I thought you got you guys were going to have some dialogue in reference to the comprehensive plan. That's why we allocated about 30 minutes.
>> Yeah, I know that's fine. I just want to make sure we don't have to like take a break and restart and do all that crazy stuff like we have to do when we do joint meetings. I just want to make sure it just rolls right in. >> Yep. >> Okay, perfect. >> The one different tweak about that item
though is you will be voting on it twice. You have to vote on it once as the local planning authority and then once as the city commission. >> [clears throat] >> Okay. >> I think Commissioner Kelly, you got one advisory board appointments and we have
two that have been tabled. Um You have a CRA advisory board board appointment and it looks like Ronald Brido or Andrew Rape Rachel? >> Okay, I'll look I'll make sure I look at
that. >> Uh so you have two two two applicants. I don't know if we have any alternates. Maybe one can be an alternate. >> It doesn't look like there's any spots for an alternate or there >> Yeah, it doesn't Yeah, I don't I don't think there is either. I think it's just essentially
I think it's just these two are both vying for a position for the vacant. Yep. >> Perfect. >> All right, Andrew. That's good. So consent agenda the first two items is about $36,000 in grants that the library
received. One is technology grant or both are technology grants. My apologies. And the other one is a an agreement between the city of Boynton Beach and Palm Beach County for swimming lessons through the Drowning Prevention Coalition. >> Okay. >> And that's going to run for a 3-year
term and that's reimbursable to the city as well. I want to say it's $60 per lesson. >> Okay. And what are we doing to to advertise that? I mean, as you know, we've had some incidents recently there you know, avoidable with swim lessons.
So, what are we doing to really push that forward to to the community? >> Um what I can do is I can get with Margolis and she can she can she can work with Sheila to see if we can push it. And I and I and I know they also
have Justin as well to where we can kind of maybe run it not only maybe on our public safety cuz it kind of is going to be a conduit through all um aspects public safety, parks and rec in the city to kind of promote it.
>> Yeah. Okay. Perfect. I just want to make sure that the word gets out and and that it's being utilized cuz this is a a a very important need for our community. So, um thank you again for doing that.
>> So, on a consent bids and purchases, the first two items are essentially amendments and they are increases to the um to the amounts that we already had budgeted and approved. And this is because certain shortcomings were identified by our procurement director
Andrew Rozalski. So, um specifically B, we're adding $27,000 worth of carpet cleaning over at um the golf course. And there's some other add-ons as well involved in that. So, that that was part
of the increase. Um 8C, this is Gulfstream and this is the um water main improvements as well as the paving. I can tell you Gulfstream is
definitely one of our uh >> First. >> I would like anybody that drives over there on Gulfstream knows exactly what it's like. Not only do you get to cross the FEC and the railroad tracks. It's like it's a permanent railroad track crossing. So,
>> Yeah. So, what's the So, have we tried for any grants on this project or um Andrew, have we tried for to get grants or any funding partnerships on this project? >> We got a partnership with Delray.
They're going to be uh partially funding this project. >> Okay. >> That's correct. They're paying 50% of the cost for the beautification and the paving. Cuz the road is split down the middle. Half is Delray and half is Boynton.
>> Okay. We're not doing any like like big like transportation things where we could get the MPO involved in this one, right? >> Not this one. Um the time is taking with the in the series it just didn't work out because of the ILA with Delray. So, the timing was a little tough to get
into the um rotation. >> Yeah, no, I get it. I know it's we have to like plan out for those those MPO grants cuz the funding is they're usually doing 5-year plans, so. >> Yeah. >> Just checking. All right, thank you.
>> And uh Commissioner Kelly down this the watermain portion of it is being funded by uh Gulfstream because it's for their benefit. >> Perfect. Okay. Good. All right.
>> Okay, so uh D is going to be um a hard of Boynton project. This is just essentially um awarding the RFP to a project management service uh services. So, or I'm sorry, approving the final rankings. How many total
um made the uh the RFP? Is Andrew on? >> Yeah, so there's three we short listed it to three and we're asking to negotiate with the top ranked firms. firm >> Okay. All right. And that's about a $280,000
contract. And it's all grant funded, so >> Perfect. Okay. >> Um e it's going to be both our command counseling approval which is $157,000 and also our computer equipment services which are $750,000.
>> Oh, did it So, this got tabled at the last meeting. Dan, did you I think you wanted to talk to both the departments before that pushed through, did you? Is there anything that changed as far as the counseling goes?
>> Yeah, I got with both Chief Bruter and also um Chief DeJulio and they were able to uh come up with quite a bit of savings on the the fleet side of things which um one of the
commissioners had brought up they want to bring up a discussion at the next commission meeting, so I'll let them do that. Uh uh essentially it's going to revolve around the public safety pay raises and things of that nature. Um and just to make sure that we can incorporate those
with making um cut because we didn't provide clarity enough clarity at the budget workshop, so that'll that'll probably um brought up. Um but yeah, it it any event property tax legislation passes in November. >> Yeah.
>> Um we're going to definitely be looking at slimming slimming down a lot of these costs sure and um service redundancies that we have, so I'll be looking at some of those, but this year um both the uh both the chiefs able to come
up with savings that we were able to uh retain the command staff. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> Um is that being Are we maxing and maybe Chief Brudor can talk about this? Are we utilizing the full contract? Are we Basically, are we getting our money's
worth out on of that or are we seeing that because of the peer counseling aspect where I just I'm wanting to know what we're if we're if we are using that service up.
>> Uh good evening everyone. Hugh Brudor here. Yeah, in fact, both departments uh are utilizing part of the command counseling on a regular basis. >> Okay. >> in fact, some of our folks have uh have had to get some pretty significant stuff, but but it's worked out very very well.
Um it's kept families together, kept firefighters at work. So, I think in the long run it's a great program. >> Yeah, I know I agree. I just want to make sure that we're actually, you know, when we have a contract, I mean, it's not a lot of money, but when we're talking about, you know, the
issues this is certainly not the time to get rid of counseling services for our first responders is when we're in a financial, you know, crunch, but I just want to make sure that we're actually, you know, utilizing the services, so I'm not just paying for a contract and not
using it, so. >> Yeah, absolutely. We we wouldn't allow that to occur and and in in terms of redundancy, you know, the the the types of services that are out there just don't compare, you know, in terms of a behavioral health manager
component uh is extremely costly on top of the sessions and the um uh and the health mental health education as well. So, you're really getting, you know, a lot for that and we're getting folks on 24-hour, I mean, we you know, when we have have incident,
we have therapists there super quick. We've got a big healthy peer support team. Uh we're going to be helping PD get theirs uh up to snuff and you know, they have one but we're going to help uh you know, the chief of police get get his where it needs to be but it is a great program and we're appreciative of the city
manager for allowing us to find those savings to keep it cuz it is crucial for our first responders. >> Okay, good. Perfect. No, I agree. I think it's it's an important um program. So, thank you. >> All right, so no city manager report um
essentially the budget workshop was a city manager's report. >> Mhm. >> Um yeah, the regular agenda we got a couple of items. Um a lot of these are all second readings with no changes to them. Um I'm going to highlight the specific ones
that um are going to have some questions to it. So, we do have a confirmation of the appointment of Adam Temple as deputy command. This kind of coincides with him um
undertaking also the CRA side of the table. Um that put things in perspective, Boca has three deputy city managers. Uh but this is not by no means undermining what Andrew's doing or anything. It's just
essentially adding Adam to that signature authority. [clears throat] >> deputy. Yeah. >> Correct. >> two deputy city and >> Adam deserves it. >> Okay. >> Adam absolutely deserves it. >> you guys both bust your butts. I mean, I I talked to both of you guys you know,
on a regular basis before 8:00 a.m. So, I yeah. Uh you guys are great. >> I couldn't I I couldn't have a better counterpart. I I I couldn't do this job without Adam. >> No, you guys are both true assets to the city. So, I'm
>> We needed that. >> So, yeah. >> Thank you. Yeah, it is definitely well deserved, so and this is being as a charter officer position, I need confirmation from the commission. >> Yeah, no problem. >> Um
10 B, this is going back to if you remember the last the last time as far as like moving some of these discussions and then getting direction from the commission on the discussion for the future agenda of how we can form these beautification boards and some of the
different future agenda items. >> Okay. >> Um So, 10 C, this is essentially approving a declaration of a restrictive covenant for Boynton Forest. This is to put the to go beyond what the deed restrictions
on the one parcel is to essentially create the restrictive covenant, so it would take a unanimous board vote to lift that restrictive covenant to develop that those parcels in the future. >> And one one thing I'd like to mention on that restrictive covenant, um I worked
with the attorneys, we proposed in language in there that would allow the city to add a lift station somewhere within that corridor. Um obviously, I think it's to the city's benefit if we can add a sewer lift station there to uh cuz we're going to have to provide
sewer to the proposed project that they're doing, but if we do do a lift station there, if we do it closer to the street, we could then add sewer for those septic users on that street uh east of Nichols. So, it's just future planning, so I just want to make sure that the commission knew that that's in
there if they go and when they get the chance to read the restrictive covenant. >> Okay, perfect. And then um so, we'll be providing So, are they is the new developer also would they contribute to the
construction of the lift station or is that solely on our >> That's my whole thing I was about to ask Andrew being that that developer is doing the development. Is he paying for this lift station? >> At least I would hope so. >> Correct. >> Yeah. That's great. So, we would So, they would even have to pay us for an
easement or some kind of thing if we're going to put it on our property. So, but if they do do it, what we would do is participate with the construction to make it a little bit deeper depending how deep they need it so that we could then extend sewer up and down like streets east of Nichols in the future if
if Nichols ever if we can ever get them cuz there a lot of them on set They're all on septic tanks. >> Right. Well, you know, I and I mentioned this to Poonam and I still owe her the information. I'll copy you on the information Andrew, too, but I was at um my League of Cities meeting and there
was a presentation from the Lake Worth Lagoon and they have a grant program that does that um you know, the septic to sewer conversion grant program. And so, this might be a great opportunity >> Yeah. >> where you know, where those residents
are not going to have to necessarily fully come out of pocket for that um you know, for those conversions. Um so, I think we should look at that for sure. And I think that application process closes in the next month or you know, couple months. >> Full disclosure, those are county
residents. They're just our water customers our our water customers. >> Right. That's why I mean, if we can get a grant that will pay for it and we're not you know, I mean, I I under you know, I know that they're county residents, but you know, if if uh
>> No, it makes sense. It's a great program. So, we'll definitely look at it. Please send it and um that'll be a great asset uh to get that converted. You know, there's a lot of a lot of look We looked at it before. There's just There was nothing there at the time. So,
>> Yeah. No, and I think it's a benefit for them. It's a benefit for us to you know, not have those old septic tanks sitting there, too. So. >> Yep. >> Okay, I'll send that information on. >> Thank you. >> And so I'm sorry, this is Poonam. Sorry to interrupt, but Mona and I did talk
about it, Commissioner Kelly, and she already had it on her vote. Oh, sorry, Mona speaking. Sorry, Mona, go ahead. >> Oh. >> And then all that that's okay. Good afternoon, Commissioner Kelly. Actually, I already looking in that opportunity. So, I already talked to Poonam going to the details and look for eligibility to
be able to apply for this opportunity. >> Perfect. And then just reach out to them. She was super helpful during the meeting and said, you know, just call us if you have any sort of water projects, we'll see what we can cuz I know Boynton hasn't gotten any of this any of this grant
funds for, you know, they're not on the five-year plan. So, I want to make sure that any opportunity we have to um especially for water quality and and our water, you know, to utilize those funds. So. She said to call to if if like it didn't
seem like it fit the box perfectly and they'll, you know, see if it if that if it works. >> Thank you. Yeah, noted. >> Perfect. Thank you, guys. >> Thank you. >> All right. So, moving on.
So, all of these are second readings and nothing changed, but what I will bring your attention to is H, which is the major site plan modification for Pints Park. Um can you bring up the the plan, Andrew? Can you just highlight the uh
>> Okay. >> The roadway highlight the roadway abandonment of Southeast 3rd Street and also highlight the basketball court and the misters. >> Okay. >> Okay. Right here's the where the mouse is going here, that's where the road's
being abandoned. So, it'll now that's where we're getting close to the tracks where we actually had the fence in here like we had talked about before. >> Yeah. >> Where we had this fence, this is all fenced in. >> Perfect. >> Right here's where the misters are here where where you can see the playground under here, you have the misters here.
And then this is where we converted the one pickleball court or the second pickleball court to a basketball half court. >> Okay. Perfect. And is that the the basketball half court, is that like a kind of a multi-use court? So, I mean I know it'll
get used for basketball, but I'm just if there's I mean we can Anyone can just use the court, sure, right? >> Yeah, so we could even look at, you know, we could even put temporary pickleball nets out there if it's not being for basketball, which is one of the cool things about converting it over
to basketball. So, we have options there. >> if during the day, you know, early in the morning when you have, you know, people who want to play pickleball that aren't, you know, kids that want to play basketball, then we we have that opportunity to utilize, you know, all
the courts. Okay, perfect. >> For sure. >> Great. No, I think it looks great. I'm excited about it. It's It's so much needed that park. I just Our oldest park in the city. I don't know how anyone can I don't know how anyone can say that's not an improvement
to what's there cuz they have not been to that park recently if they think that that's a a bad thing at all. >> Yeah. We're excited to see it happen, for sure. We've been planning it for It's been this is probably going on 4 years or more.
>> Yeah. Yeah. >> Uh I is just the uh second reading, nothing changed. That's just essentially um some of those uh contracts and agreements. Like perfect example would be um um
4C on consent with the contract agreement between the county and the city. You would you guys won't see stuff like that on the agenda anymore. >> Right. Yep, no I'm good with that. >> Uh, any anything any questions regarding
the future agenda items? >> We did just note that we did put a date to the item about the task works updates. I've talked to Adam. He said that I'd like to see that brought forward in for discussion in second meeting in August.
>> Okay, perfect. And then are we having is it is the one about the beautification team is that just for discussion or are there are there options that are being provided by the city? >> At this point it's going to be discussion amongst the board and the
commission and then once we get some some kind of direction of what you guys like to see then we can bring back what those options look like. I think staff may have some they had knowledge on it that can help participate within the discussion for sure though. >> Perfect. Okay.
Awesome. And I have anything else. >> All right. Well, thanks guys. Uh >> Thank you everyone. Sorry it was just me. If you haven't cooking with the commish you should look it up. >> [laughter] >> That's a nice that that was that was a
nice looking burger but the street corn was the one that I liked the most. >> Oh, it was good. It was all really good. I don't have that recipe. We got to get that from the fire department cuz they made that but that burger with that bacon jam I'm have to make that bacon jam and keep it in a jar in the fridge.
It was so good. All right, thanks everyone. >> looked amazing. Okay, all right guys.
