>> VICE MAYOR: WE ARE NOW MOVING ON TO THE AGENDA FOR APPROVAL. ADDITIONS, DELETIONS, OR CORRECTIONS. I WILL START WITH OUR LEGAL. SHE HAS SOME INPUT ON SOME ITEMS
THAT ARE REQUESTED. SHAWNA. >> THANK YOU, THANK YOU, MAYOR. ATTORNEY LAMB, SHAWNA LAMB, CITY ATTORNEY. IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION -- YOU KNOW WE JUST DID THAT ORDINANCE RELATED TO WAIVERS FOR ADVISORY BOARD APPOINTMENTS.
AND UNFORTUNATELY, THE APPLICATIONS AND THE WAY THEY ARE ON THIS CURRENT AGENDA, IT'S NOT CLEAR THAT THEIR APPLICATION ALSO REQUIRES AN APPROVAL OF THE WAIVER. SO WHAT I WOULD REQUEST FOR THIS MEETING UNTIL STAFF KIND OF
STRAIGHTENS OUT THAT PROCESS, THAT THE HISTORIC RESOURCES PRESERVATION BOARD POSITIONS, THE APPLICATIONS AND APPOINTMENTS JUST GO AHEAD AND BE TABLED FOR THIS MEETING AND CARRIED OVER TO THE NEXT REGULAR MEETING. >> VICE MAYOR: OKAY.
>> FINE BY ME. >> VICE MAYOR: FINE BY ME. >> WE NEED A MOTION. WE CAN DO THAT -- >> WHEN WE GET TO THE ITEM. >> WHEN WE GET TO THE ITEM. >> THANK YOU. >> VICE MAYOR: YOU ARE SO WELCOME. I'LL START TO MY RIGHT, COMMISSIONER CRUZ.
DO YOU HAVE ANY ADDITIONS, DELETIONS? >> I DO NOT, VICE MAYOR, THANK YOU. >> VICE MAYOR: COMMISSIONER AIMEE KELLEY. >> VICE MAYOR, THE ONLY -- COMMISSIONER TURKIN, WE OVERCOME ABOUT IT IN AGENDA REVIEW. ARE YOU GOING TO ADD ON FUTURE
AGENDA ITEMS THE LEGISLATIVE DISCUSSION? >> YES. >> I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT DIDN'T GET -- BECAUSE I DOUBLE-CHECKED FUTURE AND IT WASN'T ON HERE FROM THURSDAY. >> YES GENTLEMEN. >> IT WAS A CONVERSATION WE HAD DURING AGENDA REVIEW. OKAY. THEN I'M GOOD. >> VICE MAYOR: OKAY. >> BECAUSE COMMISSIONER TURKIN IS GOING TO DO THAT.
>> VICE MAYOR: COMMISSIONER TURKIN. >> THE ONLY THING IS WHAT COMMISSIONER KELLEY BROUGHT FORWARD. ON OUR AGENDA REVIEW ON THURSDAY, I HAD PROPOSED THE IDEA OF HAVING LIKE A WORKSHOP AND HAVING STAFF AND US SIT WITH BALLER PARTNERS AND ALSO HAVE A
DISCUSSION ABOUT OBTAINING A FEDERAL LOBBYIST WHICH I KNOW WE HAVE. AND REALLY GETTING AHEAD OF THE CURVE WHEN IT COMES TO WHAT WE WANT TO TRY TO PUSH IN
TALLAHASSEE. I DON'T WANT THIS TO BE A SHOTGUN CONVERSATION. I WANT CONSENSUS TO HAVE DIALOGUE WITH STAFF, WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE TO DISCUSS WHAT OUR TOP INITIATIVES ARE POLICY WISE AS WELL AS ANY GRANTS OR APPROPRIATIONS WE'RE LOOKING FOR BOTH AT THE STATE AND FEDERAL LEVEL.
>> VICE MAYOR: YOU HAVE CONSENSUS. >> AWESOME. >> VICE MAYOR: VERY GOOD. I DO HAVE A COUPLE, BUT 6D, AS IN DAVID AND 8E, BUT WE'LL CROSS THAT BRIDGE WHEN WE GET TO THEM, OKAY.
IF THERE'S NO OTHER, MAY WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE AGENDA? >> SO MOVED. >> SECOND. >> VICE MAYOR: OKAY. MOTION BY TURKIN AND SECONDED BY AIMEE KELLEY.
ALL IN FAVOR. [AYES] THOSE OPPOSED SAY NAY. MOTION CARRIES 5-0. WE'LL MOVE ON TO INFORMATIONAL ITEMS BY THE MEMBERS OF THE
COMMISSION. LET'S BEGIN TO MY LEFT THIS TIME. COMMISSIONER TURKIN. >> NOTHING, VICE MAYOR. >> CHAIR: OKAY. COMMISSIONER KELLEY. >> VICE MAYOR, I DO NOT HAVE ANY INFORMATIONAL ITEMS.
THANK YOU. >> VICE MAYOR: OKAY. COMMISSIONER CRUZ. >> SAME FOR ME, VICE MAYOR. >> VICE MAYOR: SAME HERE WITH ME. AMEN. WE'LL MOVE ON TO ANNOUNCEMENT ITEM 3. WE HAVE A PRESENTATION ON THE STATE OF EDUCATION BY SCHOOL
BOARD MEMBER ERICA WHITFIELD, DISTRICT 4. ASK HER TO COME FORWARD. HELLO. >> HI, GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYONE. MY NAME IS ERICA WHITFIELD AND I HAVE BEEN ON YOUR SCHOOL BOARD NOW FOR ALMOST 11 YEARS. BEEN A PLEASURE TO SERVE. I APPRECIATE YOU ALL HAVING ME HERE AGAIN TO SPEAK ABOUT YOUR
SCHOOLS. AND I AM HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AFTER MY BRIEF TALK. ANYTHING THAT YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT. THE SCHOOL YEAR HAS BEEN GREAT. WE HAD A REALLY GOOD YEAR LAST YEAR. WE WERE ABLE TO MAINTAIN OUR A-RATING AS A SCHOOL DISTRICT SO WE'RE VERY PROUD OF THAT.
THAT MEANS A LOT FOR OUR COMMUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HAVE, YOU KNOW, GREAT SCHOOLS IN OUR PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM. IT MEANS A LOT FOR OUR COMMUNITIES. AND I KNOW THAT'S OF PARTICULAR CONCERN HERE IN BOYNTON BEACH. SO I'M VERY GLAD TO TELL YOU THAT. OUR SECOND PIECE OF GREAT NEWS IS YOUR HIGH SCHOOL FOR THE
FIRST TIME IN MANY, MANY YEARS -- I'M PROUD TO SAY IS A B-RATED SCHOOL. THAT IS A HUGE DEAL. I'M SO RIDICULOUSLY PROUD OF BOYNTON BEACH HIGH SCHOOL. I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE ALL OF THE CREDIT TO OUR NEW PRINCIPAL THERE. HE'S BEEN THERE A FEW YEARS. HE'S MADE AN INCREDIBLE
IMPRESSION ON THE STUDENTS, ON THE STAFF, AND ON TO ALL OF OUR ADMINISTRATION. SO THAT'S DR. MOODY FULLER. IF YOU HAVE NOT HAD A CHANCE TO GO VISIT HIM, I ASK THAT YOU PLEASE GO AND SEE HIM BECAUSE HE'S JUST DOING AN AWESOME JOB. SO WE'RE VERY PROUD OF HIM. THE OTHER SCHOOLS IN YOUR
DISTRICT THAT I WANT TO MENTION ABOUT THE GRADES, WE HAVE CITRUS COVE HAS MAINTAINED THEIR "A" SO THAT IS A WONDERFUL THING. WE'RE PROUD OF THAT. CROSSPOINTE ELEMENTARY WENT FROM A "C" TO A "B."
THAT'S DR. VALERIE VALCORT, SHY COMES FROM HAITIAN HERITAGE AND SPEAKS CREOLE. I AM QUITE PROUD OF HER. WE HAVE MAINTAINED GRADES AT FOREST PARK, THEY HAVE A C. FREEDOM SHORES WENT FROM B TO C.
GALAXY ELEMENTARY REMAINS A C. AND POINCIANA ELEMENTARY REMAINS A B. AND ROLLING GREEN REMAINS A C. UNFORTUNATELY, CONGRESS MIDDLE SCHOOL DID GO DOWN FROM A D TO A C. SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT OUR PRINCIPAL THERE WHO I ALSO HAVE TO SAY, SHE'S JUST WONDERFUL AND I'M REALLY GLAD.
SO ANY SUPPORT YOU CAN GIVE TO CONGRESS MIDDLE SCHOOL AS WE CONTINUE TO GO FORWARD TO REALLY TRY TO TACKLE THAT GRADE AND BRING IT UP, I WOULD APPRECIATE IT. AS FAR AS THE SCHOOL SYSTEM, THE INTENTIRE SYSTEM, WE HAD UNFORTUNATE NEWS JUST A WEEK AGO. WE HAVE ABOUT 5,516 STUDENTS
THAT ARE NOT ATTENDING THAT WE EXPECTED TO ATTEND THIS SCHOOL YEAR. AS YOU KNOW, OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM, WE GET OUR FUNDING BASED ON THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS THAT COME TO THE SYSTEM. SO THAT IS A VERY LARGE LOSS OF FUNDING. EACH STUDENT BRINGS WITH THEM ABOUT JUST OVER $9,000.
AND SO THAT IS AN IMPACT TO THE SYSTEM. AS YOU KNOW, WE CONTINUE TO HAVE THE SAME BUILDINGS WE HAVE HAD. WE TRY TO HAVE THE SAME NUMBER OF TEACHERS. THE MITIGATION WILL PROBABLY COME FROM OPEN POSITIONS SO WE WILL NOT HAVE ANY LOSS OF EMPLOYEES, BUT WE ARE IN A
HIRING HOLD AS OF LAST WEEK TO MITIGATE FOR A POTENTIAL LOSS. THE OFFICIAL COUNT WILL BE IN OCTOBER. BUT SEEING THOSE NUMBERS, WE CAN PREPARE WITH OUR BUDGET GOING FORWARD. THERE'S MANY REASONS WHY THIS COULD POTENTIALLY BE OCCURRING AND WE'RE LOOKING INTO WHAT THOSE REASONS ARE TO HOPEFULLY
DEAL WITH THAT. BUT IT IS SOMETHING THAT IS OF CONCERN BECAUSE THROUGHOUT THE URBAN DISTRICTS IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA, WE ARE SEEING SIMILAR DECLINES. WE'RE ACTUALLY DOING BETTER THAN MANY OF THE OTHER SCHOOL SYSTEMS. SOME OF THE SCHOOL SYSTEMS ARE DOWN 13,000, 14,000 KIDS. AND THAT MEANS THAT THEY MAY
HAVE TO CLOSE SCHOOLS. SO WE'RE IN A PLACE RIGHT NOW WHERE THAT IS NOT EVEN ON THE TABLE, SO WE'RE VERY GRATEFUL THAT WE ARE STILL GOING FORWARD AND EVERYTHING IS OKAY. AND WE CAN JUST MITIGATE THE CONCERNS THROUGH OUR BUDGET AND WE'LL BE OKAY. CHARTER SCHOOLS HAD A SIMILAR
DECREASE AS WE DID, SO WE'RE DOWN 3.4%. CHARTER WENT DOWN 3.5%. SO IT'S PRETTY SIMILAR ACROSS THE BOARD. SO WE WERE SURPRISED ABOUT THAT, TOO. WE THOUGHT WE WOULD BE DOWN 400 STUDENTS FROM OUR PROJECTION. SO IT IS A LITTLE BIT OF A MORE
IMPACT THAN WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE. TALKING ABOUT ONE POSITIVE THING THAT I THINK IS COMING UP FOR OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM IS THAT WE GOT A REPORT FROM OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH THE EDUCATION FOUNDATION. AND THEY RECENTLY DID A REPORT. WE CALL IT THE ESG REPORT.
IT WAS A CONSULTANT THAT WENT AND LOOKED INTO OUR CHOICE SYSTEMS TO REALLY SEE WHERE WE NEEDED TO IMPROVE AS A SYSTEM. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I THINK IS REALLY IMPORTANT WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT IN PALM BEACH COUNTY. THE AREAS THAT WE NEED TO GROW ACCORDING TO THIS REPORT AND
WHAT WE ALREADY KNEW -- AND I'M SURE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU KNOW WE NEED TO WORK ON VOCATIONAL AND TECHNOLOGY. THOSE ARE DEFINITELY AREAS THAT WE WANT TO PUT A BIGGER PRIORITY. FOLLOWING THIS REPORT, WE HAVE CONVENED A SMALL GROUP OF OUR STAFF THAT HAS BEEN MEETING TO KIND OF DISSECT THIS REPORT AND
LOOK THROUGH POTENTIAL CHANGES THAT WE COULD MAKE TO INCREASE THE STRENGTH OF OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM AND THE OFFERINGS THAT WE'RE PROVIDING SO THAT WE CAN HAVE WORKFORCE FOR THE COMMUNITY AND THE BUSINESSES IN OUR SCHOOL. WE WILL BE HAVING A WORKSHOP ON THAT AT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT ON NOVEMBER 5th. I FEEL IT IS REALLY AN IMPORTANT
ISSUE COMING BEFORE THE SCHOOL BOARD TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE MAKING THE CHANGES NECESSARY TO PROVIDE THE EDUCATION THAT WE ALL NEED IN OUR COMMUNITIES TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE STRONG WITH OUR SCHOOLS. FINALLY, I WANT TO SAY AS A WAY THAT YOU ALL WILL BE ABLE TO
HELP WITH THAT IS WHEN WE ARE LOOKING AT EXPANSION OF OUR VOCATIONAL TECHNICAL AND EVEN PROFESSIONAL DEGREE PROGRAMS WITHIN OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM, OUR CERTIFICATE PROGRAMS, WE LOOK FOR WAYS WE CAN PARTNER BETTER
WITH THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY. THE WAY WE CAN DO THAT BEST IS BY HAVING BUSINESS PARTNERS ACTUALLY COMING INTO OUR SCHOOLS TO TEACH THE THINGS THAT THEY KNOW. I CREATED A PROGRAM WHERE THEY ARE DOING UNDERGROUND UTILITIES
TO COME AND TEACH. THEY ARE EXPERTS IN UNDERGROUND UTILITIES AND THEY COME IN AND TEACH UNDERGROUND UTILITIES TO OUR ADULT EDUCATION STUDENTS. THROUGH THAT PROGRAMMING, THEY THEN HAVE EMPLOYEES THAT THEY CAN HIRE TO DO THE WORK THAT IS VERY MUCH NEEDED IN THE COMMUNITY.
THAT'S A PARTNERSHIP AND EXAMPLE OF A PARTNERSHIP WHERE WE'RE BRINGING SOMEONE IN AND ABLE TO CREATE EMPLOYEES FOR THOSE JOBS, BUT WE'RE ALSO CREATING JOBS AND WE'RE TRAINING PEOPLE TO BE HIGHER WAGE EARNERS THAN THEY WOULD BE. SO WE'RE VERY PROUD OF THAT. AND I WOULD LIKE TO ASK THE
COMMUNITY IN BOYNTON IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN PARTNERING UP WITH US, I WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE TO HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH YOU. AND WE CAN BRING IN WHATEVER IT IS THAT MEANS SOMETHING TO YOUR COMPANY. WE CAN WORK ON MAKING THOSE PROGRAMS AVAILABLE.
THE LAST THING I WILL SAY -- I SAID LAST BUT NOW THIS IS REALLY LAST. ON FEBRUARY 20th, I'M PROUD TO SAY THAT BOYNTON BEACH HIGH SCHOOL WILL BE HAVING AN ETHICAL GOVERNANCE DAY WHICH I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO CONVINCE THEM TO DO FOR MANY, MANY YEARS. THIS IS A PROGRAM THAT I BRING TO THE COMMUNITY WITH JUDGE
SMITH DEFEWER. WE HAVE BEEN DOING IT SEVEN YEARS AND WE BRING IN ELECTED OFFICIALS TO SPEAK TO STUDENTS AT THE SCHOOL. I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE YOU ALL TO COME ON FEBRUARY 20th. PLEASE PENCIL IT IN. I WILL OFFICIALLY CALL YOU TO MAKE SURE YOU CAN COME. I WOULD LOVE IT IF YOU ARE
THERE. IT'S A MORNING PROGRAM WHERE WE HAVE ELECTED OFFICIALS INTERACT WITH STUDENTS AND TRY TO CREATE THAT TRANSPARENCY IN GOVERNMENT SO THEY CAN KNOW WHO THEIR LEADERS ARE AND ASK QUESTIONS. NOTHING TOO TERRIBLE I PROMISE, BUT IT IS SOMETHING THAT I THINK IS A WIN TO HAVE AT OUR NEWLY B
BOYNTON BEACH HIGH SCHOOL TO RECOGNIZE THE WORK OF THOSE STUDENTS. WITH THAT, I WILL STOP AND SEE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME. >> VICE MAYOR: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, ERICA. DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM THE COMMISSIONERS? >> THANK YOU FOR COMING. >> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME. >> VICE MAYOR: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> HAVE A GREAT DAY. >> VICE MAYOR: ALL RIGHT. THE NEXT ANNOUNCEMENT WILL BE A PROCLAMATION. >> I'M GRABBING WATER. YOU WANT ONE? >> VICE MAYOR: YES, THANK YOU. A PROCLAMATION NAMING
SEPTEMBER 2025 AS THE HUNGER ACTION MONTH. A PROCLAMATION WILL BE ACCEPTED BY ALLYSON VAULX AND FEEDING SOUTH FLORIDA. AND COMMISSIONER AIMEE KELLEY WILL PLEASE READ THE PROCLAMATION.
>> THANK YOU, VICE MAYOR. CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH PROCLAMATION, WHEREAS SINCE 1981 FEEDING SOUTH FLORIDA HAS WORKED TO END HUNGER IN THE CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH BY PROVIDING OUR COMMUNITY IN NEED WITH IMMEDIATE ACCESS TO NUTRITIOUS FOOD. AND WHEREAS, HUNGER DOES NOT DISCRIMINATE.
IT KNOWS NO RACE, RELIGION OR AGE. IN SOUTH FLORIDA, APPROXIMATELY 1 MILLION INDIVIDUALS FACE HUNGER. FOOD SHOULD NOT BE AN IMPOSSIBLE CHOICE FOR THE COMMUNITY OF THE CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH. AND WHEREAS FEEDING SOUTH FLORIDA LEADS HUNGER AND POVERTY ADVOCACY EFFORTS IN OUR
COMMUNITY WHILE TRANSFORMING LIVES THROUGH INNOVATIVE PROGRAMMING AND EDUCATION THAT PROVIDES ECONOMIC GROWTH AND OVERALL WELL-BEING. AND WHEREAS THE CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH IS, THEREFORE, COMMITTED TO SUPPORTING FEEDING SOUTH FLORIDA SO THAT TOGETHER WE CAN ACHIEVE A HUNGER-FREE SOUTH FLORIDA.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT I AIMEE KELLEY, COMMISSIONER FOR THE CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA, DO HEREBY PROCLAIM SEPTEMBER 2025 AS HUNGER ACTION MONTH AND CALL UPON THE GOOD PEOPLE OF THE CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH TO JOIN US IN SUPPORTING FEEDING SOUTH FLORIDA
DURING THIS MONTH OF ACTION. AND ALLYSON IF YOU'D LIKE TO COME UP AND ACCEPT THE PROCLAMATION, WE CAN TAKE A PICTURE. VICE MAYOR, IF YOU WANT TO JOIN ME. >> VICE MAYOR: SURE, I'LL GO
WITH YOU.
>> ON BEHALF OF FEEDING SOUTH FLORIDA, OUR CEO PACO VALEZ AND OUR ENTIRE BOARD, WE APPRECIATE THE CITY COMMISSIONER KELLEY, THE MAYOR IN HER ABSENCE AND THE ENTIRE COMMISSION FOR RECOGNIZING SEPTEMBER'S HUNGER ACTION MONTH.
BOYNTON BEACH IS ESPECIALLY SPECIAL TO FEEDING SOUTH FLORIDA BECAUSE WE HAVE AN ACTUAL PHYSICAL LOCATION WHERE WE SERVE ALL OF PALM BEACH COUNTY. BUT AT THAT LOCATION, WE HAVE A PHYSICAL ON-SITE CLIENT CHOICE
PANTRY THAT PEOPLE COME FROM ALL OVER PALM BEACH COUNTY TO GET GROCERIES THAT DAY. WE ALSO DO CASE MANAGEMENT OUT OF THAT OFFICE WHERE WE DON'T JUST PROVIDE FOOD, WE ALSO WORK THROUGH OTHER SOLUTIONS. WE HAVE A COMMUNITY KITCHEN
WHERE WE CREATE, NOT JUST PROVIDE MEALS FOR SENIORS, AND CULINARY TRAINING PROGRAM. WE ARE ESPECIALLY EXCITED WITHIN THE NEXT YEAR, WE ARE EXPANDING THAT FACILITY TO HAVE MORE SPACE
TO SERVE AND ADDRESS THE NEED BASICALLY WITH THE THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING NATIONWIDE AND ESPECIALLY LOCALLY PRIOR TO WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE GOVERNMENT ALREADY DEMANDED AN INCREASE IN HOW WE SERVE AND WHO WE SERVE.
SO THANK YOU TO THE CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH FOR SUPPORTING THAT PHYSICAL SPACE, BUT ALSO TO RECOGNIZING SEPTEMBER AS HUNGER ACTION MONTH. THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> VICE MAYOR: VERY GOOD. VERY GOOD, THANK YOU.
THE NEXT PRESENTATION WILL BE BY THE VETERANS OF FOREIGN WARS POST 5335 OF BOYNTON BEACH. IF YOU WOULD COME AT THIS TIME.
>> GOOD AFTERNOON, VICE MAYOR, COMMISSIONERS. >> VICE MAYOR: GOOD AFTERNOON. >> THANK YOU FOR HAVING US HERE TONIGHT. I AM VERY HONORED TO BE JOINED WITH MY FELLOW OFFICERS OF VFW MICHAEL J. METCALF POST 5335. RECENTLY WE MADE THE DECISION TO
SELL OUR BUILDING, OUR POST. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS HANGING ON THE WALL WAS THIS FLAG THAT WAS MADE BY CARRY BY OUR LADIES AUXILIARY. IT HUNG THERE FOR YEARS. NOW WE WOULD LIKE TO PASS THIS ON TO THE CITIZENS OF BOYNTON BEACH TO STAY HERE AT THE CITY HALL SO OUR LEGACY CAN CONTINUE TO LIVE ON.
WE DON'T HAVE A BUILDING, WE STILL HAVE A CHARTER. THE MICHAEL J METCALF STILL GOS ON. WE ARE A GOLD STAR POST.
THE NAME MICHAEL J. METCALF PFC WAS A BOYNTON BEACH CITIZEN AND PAID THE ULTIMATE PRICE IN AFGHANISTAN. THAT'S WHY HIS NAME IS ON THIS FLAG. >> VICE MAYOR: VERY GOOD.
[APPLAUSE] THANK YOU. >> PUT IT IN THE LOBBY? >> CAN WE TAKE A PICTURE? >> VICE MAYOR: LET'S TAKE A PICTURE. COME ON. HOP ON.
ALL OF US.
[APPLAUSE] >> WHAT'S YOUR NAME? >> JONATHAN BURTON, B-U-R-T-O-N. >> VICE MAYOR: OKAY. THE NEXT ANNOUNCEMENT WILL BE BY

THE MEETING. VICE MAYOR, WITH THE PERMISSION, THE NEXT ANNOUNCEMENT IS ALSO OURS AS WELL SO I'LL GO AHEAD AND TAKE CARE OF THAT. >> VICE MAYOR: GO RIGHT AHEAD. >> ALL RIGHT. THE CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH WILL HOST A 9/11 MEMORIAL CEREMONY AT 8:00 A.M. ON THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 11th, 2025.
THIS COMMEMORATION WILL BE HELD AT CENTENNIAL PARK, 120 EAST OCEAN AVENUE, JUST EAST OF CITY HALL IN RECOGNITION OF THE 24th ANNIVERSARY OF THE TRAGIC EVENTS OF SEPTEMBER 11th, 2001. THE CEREMONY WILL HONOR THE VICTIMS WHO LOST THEIR LIVES, THE BRAVERY OF THE FIRST
RESPONDERS KILLED RESPONDING TO THE ATTACK AND THE RESILIENCY DEMONSTRATED BY OUR NATION IN THE FACE OF ADVERSITY. THE EVENT IS FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. I'D ALSO LIKE TO ADD THAT WE HAVE CONFIRMED THAT FP&L WHO SPONSORED THE BREAKFAST AT LAST
YEAR'S EVENT HAS AGREED TO ONCE AGAIN SPONSOR THE BREAKFAST FOR THIS YEAR'S EVENT. SO WE WILL HAVE BREAKFAST AVAILABLE FOR ALL THOSE IN ATTENDANCE AT THE EVENT AS WELL. >> VICE MAYOR: VERY GOOD. VERY GOOD. >> THANK YOU. >> VICE MAYOR: I JUST HAVE TO SAY DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG IT'S BEEN SINCE I HAVE BEEN TO A
PROM. [LAUGHTER] ALMOST AS LONG -- >> DON'T ANSWER THAT. >> VICE MAYOR: ALMOST AS LONG AS McCRAY. [LAUGHTER] OKAY. WE ARE MOVING ON TO PUBLIC AUDIENCE PORTION OF THE MEETING.
AND AS ALWAYS, IT IS THREE MINUTES PER PERSON AND NON-TRANSFERABLE. SAME RULES ALWAYS APPLY. THE SPEAKER MUST ADDRESS THE COMMISSION AS A WHOLE, NOT TO ANY INDIVIDUAL ON THE DAIS OR IN THE AUDIENCE.
INSULTS, PERSONAL ATTACKS, AND DISRUPTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED. AND YOU MAY BE ASKED TO LEAVE THE MEETING SHOULD YOU VIOLATE THESE RULES. AFTER WE HAVE CONCLUDED THE IN-PERSON COMMENTS, WE WILL MOVE
TO ONLINE COMMENTS. SO IF YOU WOULD LINE UP ON BOTH SIDES, WE WILL START. YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES. PLEASE GIVE US YOUR NAME. >> GOOD AFTERNOON. >> VICE MAYOR: GOOD AFTERNOON.
>> GOOD AFTERNOON. >> VICE MAYOR: GOOD AFTERNOON. >> MIKE McCRAY. SINCE WE ARE ON A ROLL THIS AFTERNOON WITH GOOD NEWS, I'D JUST LIKE TO COMMEND YOU ALL FOR PLACING YOUR PICTURES BACK IN THE LOBBY OF THE CITY HALL. I'M JUST SAYING THAT WAS A THING THAT WAS LONG OVERDUE BECAUSE THE CITIZENS AS WELL AS OUR
VISITORS AND OUR VENDORS, NOW THEY CAN ASSOCIATE A FACE WITH A NAME. SECOND OF ALL, I'D LIKE TO SAY YEARS AGO WE USED TO HAVE THE AGENDA PRINTED AND PLACED IN THE LOBBY THE DAY OF THE MEETINGS. I'M JUST SAYING IF YOU ALL COULD GO BACK TO THAT, PLEASE, I'M
SAYING IT MIGHT ENCOURAGE MORE CITIZENS TO COME TO OUR MEETINGS IF THEY COULD PICK UP A COPY OF THE AGENDA TO SEE WHAT YOU ALL ARE DOING. THANK YOU. >> GOOD EVENING, DAVID KATZ, BOYNTON BEACH. AFTER PUBLIC AUDIENCE, THE
COMMISSION IS GOING TO BE ADDRESSING BOARD APPOINTMENTS. I'D LIKE TO ADDRESS TWO OF THE OPENINGS. THE FIRST ONE IS FOR A GENTLEMAN NAMED CHARLIE HOLDER WHO IS A NON-RESIDENT AND ON HIS APPLICATION HE PUT THAT HE WAS A RESIDENT. MAYBE JUST AN ERROR ON HIS PART. BUT AS A NON-RESIDENT, HE'S
LOOKING TO BE APPOINTED TO ONE OF THE CITY'S QUASI-JUDICIAL BOARDS. AND I THINK THAT'S A BIG MISTAKA NON-RESIDENT TO ONE OF THOSE KIND OF BOARDS. I'D APPRECIATE YOU PASSING ON HIM. ALSO, THERE ARE TWO GENTLEMEN WHO ARE APPLYING TO BE ON THE SENIOR ADVISORY BOARD BUT THEY
BOTH LIVE IN THE SAME ADDRESS. AND I WOULD URGE THAT YOU ONLY APPOINT ONE OF THEM TO THE BOARD SO THERE'S NO PERCEPTION POSSIBLY ON THEIR PART BECAUSE ALL BOARDS ARE GOVERNED BY THE SUNSHINE LAW. IF THEY ARE SITTING ACROSS THE KITCHEN TABLE FROM EACH OTHER, WHO KNOWS WHAT THEY MIGHT DISCUSS? THE OTHER THING I'D LIKE TO
DISCUSS -- AND IT'S ON FIRST READING SO THIS IS WHERE I HAVE TO DO IT. PROPOSED ORDINANCE 25-021. I'M SURE STAFF AND LEGAL HAVE WORKED HARD ON THIS. BUT IN MY HUMBLE OPINION, IT'S RIDDLED WITH GOVERNMENTAL OVERREACH AND I WOULD URGE THAT YOU TABLE IT.
IT'S JUST TOO VAGUE AND I THINK THAT THEY ARE HOPING THAT -- BASICALLY, IT'S NOT ENFORCEABLE AND THERE WON'T BE ANY ENFORCEMENT. BUT IT'S LOADED WITH GOVERNMENTAL OVERREACH AND I'D APPRECIATE YOU TABLING THAT ORDINANCE SO THAT GOVERNMENTAL
OVERREACH CAN BE DELETED FROM IT. THANK YOU. >> VICE MAYOR: YES. >> THANK YOU. SUSAN OYER, BOYNTON BEACH. SO NOTHING TOO CRAZY TONIGHT. JUST A REMIND WE STILL AS A CITY HAVE NOT PUBLICIZED THAT THE
RIGHT TURN ONLY LANES THROUGHOUT THE CITY -- THERE'S WHAT? THREE OR FOUR OF THEM. AND I STILL SEE PEOPLE BLOWING THROUGH THEM CONSTANTLY, ALMOST GOT HIT A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO BY SOMEONE HEADED EAST ON OLD BOYNTON ROAD, YOU KNOW, WHERE THE WALGREENS IS.
AND THEY JUST DECIDED THAT ALL THOSE SIGNS AND ALL THOSE MARKINGS ON THE GROUND APPLY TO EVERYONE BUT THEM AND DECIDED THEY WERE GOING TO TRY AND RUN THROUGH AND RUN ME OVER. AND SO I WOULD SUGGEST THAT MAYBE WE SHOULD DO A BETTER JOB, YOU KNOW, WHETHER IT'S A MAP COMING OUT EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE
OR ADDING TO SAILFISH NU NEWS OR DOING SOMETHING TO POINT OUT LOCATIONS WHERE THESE ARE. AND THEY ARE VERY WELL SIGNED. MY COMPLAINT IS NOT ABOUT THE SIGNING OR THE MARKS ON THE GROUND. YOU GUYS AND THE COUNTY HAVE DONE THEIR JOB. THIS IS FLAT OUT PEOPLE NOT NOTICING IT. MAYBE WE SHOULD BE PUTTING THOSE
BLANKING SOLAR LIGHTS ON, YOU KNOW, LIKE THEY HAVE AROUND SOME OF THE STOP SIGNS AND MAYBE PUT THEM AROUND THOSE RIGHT TURN ONLY SIGNS OF WHICH THERE'S TWO OR THREE AT EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE PLACES AND NO ONE PAYS ATTENTION EXCEPT APPARENTLY ME
AND THE NATIVES OF BOYNTON WHO APPARENTLY NOTICE IT. I'M SURE AT SOME POINT WE'RE GOING TO START HAVING MORE ACCIDENTS AS WE ARE MOVING INTO SNOWBIRD SEASON. MAYBE THAT'S SOMETHING WE SHOULD START REVIEWING EVERY YEAR, YOU KNOW, JUST A QUICK LITTLE REMINDER. IT SEEMS LIKE THAT'S NOT GOING TO HURT ANYTHING AND IT MIGHT
PREVENT SOME ACCIDENTS. ALSO, IN FRONT BETWEEN THE TARGET AND WHERE T.J.'S IS, THE OAKWOOD SQUARE PLAZA, YOU HAVE TO GO UP AND AROUND AND MAKE A U-TURN AROUND THE ISLAND TO BE ABLE TO TURN IN TO THE OAKWOOD PLAZA OFF OF OLD BOYNTON ROAD.
SOME PEOPLE DECIDE IT'S BETTER TO CROSS A COUPLE OF LANES OF TRAFFIC AND TRY AND TURN EARLY. MAYBE WE SHOULD BE MAKING THE MEDIAN A LITTLE BIT LONGER OR GET RID OF IT, ONE OR THE OTHER BECAUSE THAT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE SOLVING THE PROBLEM. AND YOU HAVE PEOPLE CUTTING WHILE PEOPLE ARE PROPERLY
U-TURNING AND THEN YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT THERE AS WELL. I WOULD MAKE THAT SUGGESTION. LET'S KEEP POINT SAFE. >> VICE MAYOR: OKAY. DO WE HAVE ANYONE ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK? PLEASE COME FORWARD. DON'T JUST RAISE YOUR HAND.
THANK YOU. AND AGAIN, IF YOU WANT TO SPEAK, PLEASE LINE UP SO WE DON'T HAVE A BIG GAP. OKAY? APPRECIATE IT. >> HI.
ERNEST GEORGE AND I'M WONDERING WHY I CAN'T GET ANY PROTECTION FROM THIS CITY BECAUSE I HAPPEN TO BE ENGAGED IN VOLUNTEER WORK WHICH IS GOING AROUND TOWN OBSERVING CRIME, CORRUPTION AND
A LOT OF PROBLEMS. AND IN EXCHANGE FOR THAT, THOSE PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED TO COME TO MY HOUSE AND PHYSICALLY ATTACK ME. OF COURSE, THE CITY OFFICIALS MAKE COMMENTS ABOUT ME THAT I'M A TERRORIST, I HAVE BOMBS, I HAVE GUNS.
HOW IS THIS ALL HAPPENING? AND THE GREATEST INVESTIGATION THAT SHOULD HAPPEN IS AGAINST BOYNTON BEACH. AGAINST EVERYBODY SITTING HERE BECAUSE YOU'RE REALLY GOOD AT CASTIGATING PEOPLE AND MAKING COMMENTS OUT AT THE PUBLIC, AT THE BEACH AND AT THESE BARS AND
THESE DANGEROUS PLACES. BUT YET IF ANYBODY SAYS ANYTHING ABOUT Y'ALL, YOU TRY AND GET US ARRESTED OR YOU GET ME ARRESTED FOUR OR FIVE TIMES. AND YOU THINK IT'S FUNNY. AND I CAME TONIGHT BECAUSE I WAS ASKING FOR THE FIRING OF THE POLICE CHIEF AND THE FIRING OF
THE CITY MANAGER, PERIOD. IF THEY CAN'T PROTECT ME, HOW ABOUT ALL THE OTHER VICTIMS? AND THEN THE LAST THING I'LL SAY, THE INFORMATION FROM INSIDERS THAT I'M GETTING ABOUT PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN BOYNTON BEACH ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON WITH ABUSE
AND WITH PROBLEMS, WITH STAFFING AND LICENSING AND COVERING UP INCIDENTS AND JUST REFUSING TO ADMIT EVERYTHING -- AND THEN THE WORST THING YOU SIT UP HERE AND TELL EVERYBODY HOW PURE THE WATER IS, ENJOY THE WATER AND THE FOOD. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
THE WATER IN BOYNTON BEACH IS SO CONTAMINATED IT WILL KILL A BIRD. AND YOU'RE TELLING EVERYBODY TO DRINK IT AND ENJOY IT. AND THIS FOOD PROGRAM YOU TALK ABOUT, YOU KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE STARVING IN BOYNTON BEACH? THEY ARE EATING OUT OF DUMPSTERS BECAUSE THEY ARE AFRAID TO COME
OVER THERE. HALF OF THEM DON'T HAVE PAPER SO THEY ARE AFRAID. SO I WOULDN'T BRAG ABOUT HOW YOU ARE HELPING HUNGRY PEOPLE HERE. AND I WANT TO KNOW WHEN CAN I GET SOME PROTECTION. AND I SENT EMAILS TO EVERYBODY ON THIS DAIS, NOT ONE OF YOU ANSWER.
NOT THE CITY ATTORNEY, NOBODY. YOU WON'T ANSWER. PEOPLE COMING TO MY DOOR, BANGING ON MY DOOR, THREATENING ME, GANGS. AND THEN THE POLICE COME UP AND STOP THEM AND SAY, OH,
MR. McNOIGLY IT'S YOUR FAULT. WHEN IS THE INVESTIGATION GOING TO HAPPEN? NOT BY YOUR GOVERNMENT, BY AN OUTSIDE GOVERNMENT. THAT'S WHAT WE NEED. >> VICE MAYOR: THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ARE THERE ANY OTHERS WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK AT THIS TIME? SEEING NONE, WE WILL CLOSE THE
IN-HOUSE. ANY ONLINE? >> NO, VICE MAYOR, THERE IS NO ONE ONLINE. >> VICE MAYOR: WE HAVE NONE ONLINE. THAT CLOSES PUBLIC AUDIENCE. WE WILL MOVE TO ITEM NUMBER 5, ADMINISTRATIVE. >> VICE MAYOR. >> VICE MAYOR: YES. >> I'D LIKE TO TABLE 5A PER THE CITY ATTORNEY'S REQUEST. >> VICE MAYOR: TABLE 5.
DO I HAVE A MOTION? >> WE DON'T NEED TO TABLE THE WHOLE THING. DID WE WANT TO TABLE ALL OF THEM? >> I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE RECOMMENDATION. >> I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM.
>> TABLE 5A. >> VICE MAYOR: DO I HAVE A MOTION? >> YEAH, I'LL STICK WITH THE ORIGINAL MOTION AND COMMISSIONER CRUZ SECONDED IT. >> I'LL SECOND IT. >> VICE MAYOR: MOVED AND SECONDED. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. [AYES]
ALL AGAINST, NAY. THAT WILL TAKE US TO CONSENT AGENDA. >> 5B. >> VICE MAYOR: 5B, ALL RIGHTY. 5B, WE HAVE THREE COMMUNITY
SUPPORT FUND REQUESTS. ONE FOR MYSELF FOR BOYNTON BEACH BULLDOGS IN THE AMOUNT OF $1,000 AND TWO FROM COMMISSIONER KELLEY FOR FEEDING SOUTH FLORIDA AND FRIENDS OF BOYNTON BEACH LIBRARY, EACH OF 500. MAY I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE
THESE REQUESTS? >> SO MOVED. >> MOTION TO APPROVE. SECOND. >> VICE MAYOR: OKAY. MOTION BY THOMAS TURKIN AND SECOND BY KELLEY. >> YES. >> VICE MAYOR: ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.
[AYES] ALL OPPOSED NAY. AYES HAVE IT UNANIMOUSLY. IT PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. >> CAN I SAY SOMETHING REAL QUICK? >> VICE MAYOR: YES. >> ABOUT MY DONATION. ONE, WE HEARD FROM FEEDING SOUTH FLORIDA. ALLYSON, THANK YOU FOR COMING TONIGHT. THEY DO ENCOURAGE VOLUNTEERS.
I HAVE TAKEN MY KIDS OUT THERE TO SORT THROUGH FOOD. AND THERE'S ALWAYS A GOOD GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT ARE OUT THERE WILLING TO HELP. AND LIKE ALLYSON SAID, THEY ALSO OFFER CLASSES AND CULINARY CLASSES TO PEOPLE WHO ARE TRYING
TO, YOU KNOW, BETTER THEMSELVES. AND SO IF YOU HAVE AN INTEREST IN VOLUNTEERING, THEY ARE A GREAT ORGANIZATION. THEY ARE RIGHT HERE LOCAL. THEY DO AMAZING THINGS FOR ALL AGES IN OUR COMMUNITY. AND SO I JUST ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO SUPPORT THEM. AND THEN MY OTHER COMMUNITY
SUPPORT FUNDS WERE TO FRIENDS OF BOYNTON BEACH LIBRARY. AND THAT IS MY ANNUAL DONATION TO KICK OFF OUR HOLIDAY BASKET DRIVE. AND SO I'M JUST ENCOURAGING MY COLLEAGUES TO JUMP ON-BOARD LIKE THEY HAVE EVERY YEAR. AND I THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING
THAT. MAYLEE, HOW MANY ARE WE HOPING TO DO? HOW MANY DID WE DO LAST YEAR? >> WE DID 200 LAST YEAR. >> WE DID 200 LAST YEAR AND WE'RE TRYING TO DOUBLE THAT THIS YEAR. SO I'M EXCITED FOR ANOTHER GREAT YEAR OF HOLIDAY BASKETS THAT GO
TO OUR SCHOOLS, TO OUR STUDENTS. IT IS MUCH-NEEDED. AND JUST, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER WE CAN DO. BUT WE'RE EXCITED TO KICK THAT OFF. THANK YOU. AND THANK YOU TO STAFF. ALL OF OUR STAFF JUMPS ON-BOARD AND HAS REALLY EMBRACED THAT SINCE WE STARTED IT.
AND SO I JUST THANK STAFF. AND, MAYLEE, SHE ALWAYS TAKES CHARGE OF THAT SO JUST THANK EVERYONE FOR TAKING THAT AND RUNNING WITH IT. SO THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, VICE MAYOR. >> VICE MAYOR: VERY GOOD, COMMISSIONER. NOW WE MOVE ON TO CONSENT AGENDA
ITEM 6. STAFF HAS REQUESTED THAT WE TABLE ITEM 6D UNTIL SEPTEMBER THE 18th, 2025. >> MOTION TO TABLE. >> SECOND.

BROAD BECAUSE LET'S SAY SOMEONE IS GETTING OUT OF THEIR CAR AND PUTTING OUT THEIR CIGARETTE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, ONE OF THE THINGS WE COULD DO -- WE COULD REMOVE THAT PORTION OR WE COULD OFFER A WARNING SYSTEM SO THAT IF A PERSON IS CAUGHT SMOKING,

GAME, YOU KNOW. AS FAR AS ENFORCEMENT GOES, I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF CHALLENGES WITH PARKS AND RECREATION EVEN ENFORCING DOGS OR NO DOGS IN A PARTICULAR PARK. NOW WE WANT TO WIDEN THE SCOPE OF THIS TO LIKE BE THE VAPING POLICE AS WELL. SO I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S

QUARTERLY PROJECT UPDATE. STAFF, IF YOU COULD PLEASE BEGIN THE PRESENTATION. >> GOOD EVENING, VICE MAYOR. >> VICE MAYOR: GOOD EVENING. >> AND COMMISSIONERS. RICK HOFFER, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS.
THIS IS A PRESENTATION ON PUBLIC WORKS CIP QUARTERLY UPDATE. THIRD QUARTER FISCAL YEAR
'24-'25. I WANTED TO START WITH THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM OVERVIEW. TOTAL CIP PROJECT COUNT IS 171 PROJECTS. 112 PROJECTS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED.
KEY COMPLETED PROJECTS INCLUDE SOUTHEAST 3rd STREET, CHAPEL HILL, ROAD RESURFACING AND CHANGE ORDER, SOUTHEAST 1st STREET DESIGN, NORTHEAST 6th STREET PEDESTRIAN CROSSING, AND CENTENNIAL PARK SIDE PROJECT.
35 PROJECTS ARE IN CONSTRUCTION. KEY PROJECTS INCLUDE FIRE DEPARTMENT, BOAT DOCK AND LIFT. ARTS AND CULTURAL CENTER AUDITORIUM UPGRADES, GOLFVIEW
HARBOUR RESURFACING, MARINE COMPLEX, PENCE PARK IMPROVEMENTS, JAYCEE PARK IMPROVEMENTS, SEACREST BOULEVARD STREETSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS AND LAWRENCE ROAD BEAUTIFICATION. WE HAVE 10 PROJECTS IN THE
PLANNING STAGE INCLUDING KEY PROJECTS OF THE NEW FIRE STATION 3, PROGRESSIVE DESIGN-BUILD. POLICE DEPARTMENT, PISTOL RANGE AND BARRIER FREE PICKLEBALL
LIGHTING. AS CAN BE SEEN ON THIS SLIDE, APPROXIMATELY 66% OF THIS FISCAL YEAR CIP PROJECTS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED WITH ABOUT 21% IN
CONSTRUCTION, AROUND 8% IN DESIGN. AND AROUND 6% IN PLANNING. TRANSPORTATION HAS THE LARGEST BUDGET OF $13.2 MILLION FOLLOWED BY RECREATION AND PARKS, PUBLIC
SAFETY, AND GENERAL GOVERNMENTAL JUST AS A STATISTIC HERE. 25 OF THE 171 CIP PROJECTS ARE GENERAL GOVERNMENTAL TRYING TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF THE
SPLIT BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT CATEGORIES. THIS IS A LISTING OF NINE OF THE GENERAL GOVERNMENTAL PROJECTS REFLECTING PROJECT STATUS INFORMATION. SO I JUST TRIED TO GET KIND OF A SAMPLING OF PROJECTS HERE TO GIVE STATUS UPDATES ON.
I'M GOING TO HIGHLIGHT A FEW OF THESE. ARTS AND CULTURAL CENTER IS ON TRACK TO BE COMPLETED CONSTRUCTION EARLY DECEMBER WHICH IS A CRITICAL PROJECT TO GET DONE BY THEN. SO THAT'S GOOD NEWS. CHILDREN'S MUSEUM STRUCTURAL REPAIRS ESTIMATED TO BE
COMPLETED BY DECEMBER OF THIS YEAR. AND HISTORIC WOMAN'S CLUB PEDESTRIAN CROSSING OR CROSSWALK DESIGN ANTICIPATED TO BE COMPLETED THIS MONTH AS WELL. SO LOTS OF ACTIVITY GOING ON.
GOING TO PUBLIC SAFETY 26 OF THE CIP PROJECTS ARE PUBLIC SAFETY. THIS IS A LISTING OF NINE, KIND OF A SAMPLE OF THEM REFLECTING PROJECT STATUS INFORMATION. TO HIGHLIGHT A FEW OF THESE PROJECTS, FIRE STATION 3
DESIGN-BUILD PROCUREMENT ANTICIPATED TO START NEXT MONTH. THAT'S A VERY BIG PROJECT. IT'S GOOD TO SEE IT CONTINUING TO MOVE FORWARD. MARINE COMPLEX ANTICIPATED DESIGN COMPLETED APRIL OF 2026. AND FIRE DEPARTMENT BOAT, DOCK
AND LIFT PROJECT ANTICIPATE COMPLETION NEXT MONTH, YES. JUST MOVING ON TO RECREATION AND PARKS, 54 OF THE CIP PROJECTS ARE RECREATION AND PARKS. SO JUST A LITTLE BIT OF THE
DISTRIBUTION INFORMATION. THE SLIDE ALONG WITH THE NEXT TWO SLIDES HAS A LISTING OF 24 SAMPLE PROJECTS FOR RECREATION AND PARKS. GOING TO JUST TOUCHING ON PIONEER PARK BOAT RAMP, IT IS IN
ADVERTISEMENT CURRENTLY FOR CONSTRUCTION STAGE. ANTICIPATED START CONSTRUCTION IS NOVEMBER 2025. MOVING ON, I THINK THAT
ADVANCED. OKAY. SO PENCE PARK IMPROVEMENTS, CONTINUING TO TOUCH ON THESE PROJECTS, THAT'S ANOTHER ONE THAT STARTED DESIGN VERY RECENTLY SO IT WAS GOOD TO SEE THAT START TO MOVE FORWARD DESIGN WISE.
ESTIMATED TO COMPLETE APRIL 2026 FOR DESIGN. JAYCEE PARK MASTER PLAN NEW PLAY STRUCTURE, ESTIMATED DESIGN COMPLETION FEBRUARY 2026. THAT'S ANOTHER PROJECT THAT KICKED OFF RECENTLY DESIGN WISE.
AND THIS SLIDE SHOWS SOME COMPLETED RECREATION AND PARKS PROJECT FOR REFERENCE. GOING TO TRANSPORTATION, 50 ARE TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS.
THIS SLIDE ALONG WITH THE NEXT SLIDE IS LISTING 14 OF THE TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS AND LACKS STATUS INFORMATION, HEIGHTING SOUTHEAST 1st STREET
ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS, ANTICIPATED CONSTRUCTION START NEXT MONTH. THAT'S ALSO A VERY BIG PROJECT, GOOD TO SEE THAT MOVING FORWARD. YOU KNOW, INTO CONSTRUCTION, IT'S CURRENTLY ADVERTISING.
GULF VIEW MEADOWS AND PROJECTS ANTICIPATED CONSTRUCTION AND A COMPLETION THIS MONTH, SO THOSE ARE SOME VERY GOOD MILESTONES. LAWRENCE ROAD BEAUTIFICATION ANTICIPATED DESIGN COMPLETE OCTOBER 2026. SAND CASTLE ANTICIPATED DESIGNS
START NEXT MONTH. THAT'S A VERY, VERY BIG PROJECT, A JOINT PROJECT WITH THE UTILITIES AND HAS A $16.5 MILLION GRANT ASSOCIATED WITH IT. SO THIS IS JUST A NOTE OF THAT.
GOING TO THIS SECOND TRANSPORTATION SLIDE, JUST FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES, MORE A LIST OF COMPLETED PROJECTS. I DON'T REALLY HAVE ANY SPECIFIC COMMENTS ON ANY OF THOSE AT THIS POINT IN TIME.
AND THAT'S ALL. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FROM ANYONE? >> VICE MAYOR: OUTSTANDING. VERY GOOD. ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMISSION? >> I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU. >> YEAH. >> FOR PROVIDING THIS DETAILED QUARTERLY REPORT. I KNOW WE HAVE BEEN SEEING THIS
GROW IN DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS AND IT IS EXTREMELY HELPFUL NOT JUST FOR MYSELF, BUT FOR THE PUBLIC TO SEE AND KNOW FOR THOSE WHO PAY ATTENTION WHERE THEIR TAX DOLLARS ARE BEING UTILIZED. SO THAT WAY, YOU KNOW, SOMEONE CHIMES IN IN A MEETING, THEY CAN SEE THE UPDATES AT THIS PARK OR
AT THIS PARK OR IN THIS AREA OF THE CITY, YOU KNOW, ARE EITHER YOU KNOW, COMPLETED, HAVE A PROJECT TIMELINE OR UNDER CONSTRUCTION. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BRINGING THIS FORWARD. I REALLY APPRECIATE IT. >> THANK YOU. >> I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU SO MUCH TO ALL OF YOU GUYS
WORKING ON THIS AND EVERY SINGLE DEPARTMENT BECAUSE WE KNOW IT'S A BIG LIFT. WE KNOW IT'S A LOT. AND A LOT OF THESE PROJECTS HAVE BEEN IN THE PIPELINE FOR A WHILE. AND YOU GUYS ARE REALLY JUST GETTING SO MANY OF THESE COMPLETED AS WELL AS I KNOW GOLFVIEW HARBOUR WAS RECENTLY
COMPLETED EVEN THOUGH IT SAYS IN PROGRESS BECAUSE IT WAS SO RECENT. >> SURE. >> THANK YOU GUYS FOR THAT. I WANT TO GIVE A SPECIAL SHOUT-OUT FOR THAT SPECIFICALLY WITHIN MY DISTRICT. AND JUST THANK YOU GUYS FOR ALL THE WORK YOU DO. >> GREAT. THANK YOU. >> VICE MAYOR: KELLEY. >> THIS IS SOMETHING WE ASKED
FOR THESE QUARTERLY UPDATES AND I THINK IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO SEE WHAT WE HAVE COMING UP. NORMALLY, WE WERE ONLY SEEING THIS REALLY DURING BUDGET WORKSHOPS. AND, YOU KNOW, SO IT'S NICE TO SEE WE'RE GETTING THESE UPDATES AND WHERE THEY ARE COMPLETED AND
WHERE OUR INVESTMENT IS BECAUSE IT REALLY IS AN INVESTMENT IN OUR COMMUNITY AND MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE PUTTING THE MONEY BACK, YOU KNOW, WHERE IT'S IMPORTANT. SO I THINK THIS IS IMPORTANT FOR US TO SEE. AND IT'S IMPORTANT JUST LIKE COMMISSIONER TURKIN SAID FOR THE
PUBLIC TO SEE AS WELL THAT THERE ARE THESE PROJECTS BECAUSE WE KNOW NOTHING IN GOVERNMENT IS QUICK. AND SO THERE'S A LOT OF THESE PROJECTS THAT HAVE BEEN ON THE RADAR FOR A REALLY LONG TIME. AND TO SEE THEM COMING AND BEING IN DESIGN PHASES OR IN PROGRESS,
IT'S EXCITING TO SEE THIS STUFF HAPPENING. SO THANK YOU. I KNOW YOU AND YOUR TEAM AND EVERYONE ARE WORKING REALLY HARD TO CONTINUE TO PUSH OUR CIP FORWARD, EVEN THOUGH, YOU KNOW,
MONEY IS UNCERTAIN. WE HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH MONEY AND FUNDING COMING IN THAT MADE ALL OF THESE PROJECTS POSSIBLE. AND SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GET A LITTLE BIT MORE CREATIVE GOING FORWARD WHICH IS WHY COMMISSIONER TURKIN BROUGHT IT UP FOR US TO HAVE THAT DISCUSSION ON GRANTS. AND I THINK WE REALLY NEED TO
MAXIMIZE OUR GRANT ASKS ON A FEDERAL LEVEL AND THE STATE LEVEL TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE A SERVICE TO OUR RESIDENTS THAT THEY DESERVE, THAT WE DESERVE, TO REALLY PUSH THE CITY FORWARD. SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO CONTINUING TO GET THESE
UNDERSTAND. AND, YOU KNOW, KEEP US POSTED IF YOU NEED ANYTHING. SO THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. >> VICE MAYOR: VERY GOOD. JUST TO HAVE 50 PROJECTS GOING, THAT'S OUTSTANDING. AND I THINK IT'S MONEY WELL SPENT. I THINK ALL OF OUR CITIZENS, IF
THEY'D TAKE THE TIME TO LOOK, WOULD BE PROUD OF WHAT HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED HERE IN BOYNTON BEACH DUE TO YOU AND YOUR STAFF AND ALL OF US AS A TEAM. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. [APPLAUSE]
