THE AGENDA, SO IF PEOPLE ARE HERE, THEY DON'T HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE ENTIRE MEETING TO MOVE THAT. BECAUSE I BELIEVE COMMISSIONER TURKIN, YOU HAD THINGS THAT YOU WANTED ADDRESSED BEFORE WE ADDRESS IT AS A BOARD? >> YEAH, I WANTED TO TALK TO STAFF, AND THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN
FROM THE LAST MEETING. IT WAS JUST PUSHED. I DON'T THINK ANYONE HERE HAS TALKED TO STAFF ABOUT THIS. >> RIGHT. >> DO I NEED TO MAKE A MOTION TO MOVE IT UP. >> YOU NEED TO MAKE A MOTION TO MOVE IT UP, AND THEN MAKE A MOTION TO UNTABLE IT, SO WE CAN
TALK ABOUT WHAT YOU GUYS WANT TO SEE, AND WHEN THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE FOR IT TO COME BACK, AND THEN ADDRESS A DATE CERTAIN FOR US TO PUT IT BACK ON THE TABLE UNTIL THEN. >> YES, I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO MOVE UP 8A TO AFTER 3B.

ITEMS -- >> I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING SPECIFIC TO THE AGENDA, BOYNTON BEACH IS ON THEIR WAY TO STATE LITTLE LEAGUE. LET'S CHEER ON OUR 12 YOUTH TEAM. HOPEFULLY THEY BRING BACK ANOTHER ONE.
>> THEY WILL. >> MAYOR: COMMISSIONER KELLEY? >> NO, I DON'T HAVE ANY INFORMATIONAL ITEMS, THANK YOU. >> MAYOR: COMMISSIONER CRUZ? >> NO, I DON'T. >> MAYOR: WE WILL NOW MOVE TO
ANNOUNCEMENTS. >> LIBRARY DIRECTOR, JEANNIE TAYLOR. MY GRADUATE JUAN PEDRO COULDN'T MAKE IT TONIGHT, SHE'S ILL, AND HER CHILDREN ARE ILL, BUT WE WERE CELEBRATING THE FACT THAT SHE GOT HER HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA THROUGH OUR CAREER ONLINE HIGH
SCHOOL PROGRAM, AND SHE ALSO GOT A CAREER CERTIFICATE IN OFFICE MANAGEMENT. SO WE'RE HAPPY FOR HER, AND I'D LIKE TO SHARE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE PROGRAM, IT'S PRETTY EASY, YOU JUST HAVE TO BE AN ADULT OVER 19 YEARS OLD, YOU HAVE TO LIVE IN THE CITY, AND YOU HAVE
TO HAVE A LIBRARY CARD. SO JUANA WAS OUR 32nd GRADUATE, SINCE WE'VE BEEN DOING THIS PROGRAM. SO WE ARE CHANGING LIVES FOR THE CITIZENS OF BOYNTON BEACH.
ONCE THEY GET A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA, THEY CAN GET A BETTER JOB, GO ON AND CONTINUE THEIR EDUCATION, AND WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO DO THAT. AND WE'VE HAD A LOT OF SUCCESS WITH IT, AND WE'LL KEEP IT GOING. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU.
MOVING ON TO THE FOLLOWING ANNOUNCEMENT, THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN KICKOFF PRESENTATION. >> AMANDA RHATIGAN PLANNING DIRECTOR. THIS WAS AN ITEM THAT WAS RANKED
HIGHLY IN THE CITY'S STRATEGIC PLAN THIS YEAR. BECAUSE OF THAT, THIS WAS BUDGETED THIS YEAR. THE STAFF WENT THROUGH THE RFP PROCESS, IT WAS AWARDED TO CHENMORE AND ASSOCIATES TO LEAD THIS COORDINATION TO START THIS PROCESS.
WE HAVE CHENMORE HERE TODAY. THEY'LL BE DOING A SHORT PRESENTATION TO TALK ABOUT COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING, THEY'RE GOING TO END WITH A PROPOSAL FOR ENGAGEMENT, AS WE START THE OUTREACH WORK.
I WILL ADDRESS CHENMORE AND ASSOCIATES. AND I'LL BE AVAILABLE AFTERWARDS FOR QUESTIONS.
>> I'M THE DIRECTOR OF PLANNING OF CHENMORE & ASSOCIATES. WITH ME, TODAY THE PRINCIPLE PLANNER AND PROJECT MANAGER FOR
THIS EFFORT. >> WE ARE MORE THAN 150 PROFESSIONALS, BETWEEN LAND
PLANNERS, ENGINEERS ENVIRONMENTAL. WE HAVE ARBORISTS IN OUR STAFF, IF YOU NEED ANY SPECIFIC SERVICE WITH REGARD TO THE ARBORIST. WE HAVE SEVERAL OFFICES
THROUGHOUT FLORIDA. ONE OF OUR MAIN OFFICES, FACING WEST PALM BEACH, IN THE TOWN OF JUPITER. WE ASSEMBLE A MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAM, WITH HIGH CREDENTIALS AND PROFICIENT AND COMPREHENSIVE
PLAN UPDATES. WE ARE PROFICIENT IN FLORIDA STATUTES AND PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT. SPECIFICALLY, MYSELF, I HAVE MORE THAN 25 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN LAND PLANNING IN FLORIDA
STATUTES, AND PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT. MR. O'NEIL HAS MORE THAN 15 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE, THE SAME IN LAND PLANNING. WE ARE ALSO PART OF THE TEAM,
MR. LANCE LEELY. WE ALSO HAVE PROFICIENT ENGINEERS, BECAUSE TO UPDATE THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, WE WILL NEED TO LOOK INTO THE INTHAT STRUCTURE AND CAPITAL -- INFRASTRUCTURE AND CAPITAL
IMPROVEMENT. AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, WE HAVE AN ESTABLISHED REPUTATION IN PALM BEACH COUNTY. WE HAVE PREPARED SEVERAL COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATES, INCLUDED THE FOLLOWING ONES THAT
ARE ON THE SLIDE, IN THE CITY OF WESTLAKE, VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH AND SO ON. BECAUSE THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS A FOUNDATIONAL DOCUMENT, IT'S SO IMPORTANT.
BUT I ALSO LIKE TO TAKE A MOMENT JUST TO REFLECT WHY -- WHAT HE SAID, AND WHY IT'S SO IMPORTANT. BEFORE WE MOVE FORWARD, I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU THIS SLIDE. THE LOGO THAT WILL BE REPRESENTING THIS EFFORT THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS.
AND I'M JUST VERY HAPPY, AND I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE CITY STAFF, WE HAVE BEEN WORKING TOGETHER ALREADY IN PRESENTING THIS LOGO. IT WAS TRULY A COLLABORATION PROCESS TO HAVE THIS LOGO TODAY
TO PRESENT TO ALL OF YOU. THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS A POLICY DOCUMENT, IT'S A MANDATE FROM FLORIDA STATUTES. THE FLORIDA GROWTH MANAGEMENT ACT THAT WAS ADOPTED IN 1985 IS A MANDATE THAT ALL LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS, INCLUDING MUNICIPALITIES. A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IN LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS. CURRENTLY THE FLORIDA COMMERCE IS THE LAND PLANNING -- ESTATE LAND PLANNING AGENCY, THAT WILL
OVERSEE THIS PROCESS. ONCE THIS COUNCIL APPROVES, THAT IS READY TO DOCUMENT TO BE SENT TO THE STATE, WE WILL TRANSMIT IT TO THE STATE AND OTHER AGENCIES FOR REVIEW.
THIS IS ONE OF THE GRAPHICS THAT I -- I'M A GRAPHIC ORIENTED PERSON, VERY A BACHELOR DEGREE IN ARCHITECTURE. THIS IS IMPORTANT, BECAUSE IT SHOWS THAT THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS IN COMPLIANCE. MUST BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH
FLORIDA STATUTES. AND ALSO NEEDS TO REFLECT THE VISION AND VALUES OF THE AMAZING CITY. AND IT NEEDS TO BE ALIGNED OR CONSISTENT WITH THE STRATEGIC PLAN IN THE OPERATING BUDGET AND
CIP. ALL OF THAT NEEDS TO BE PART OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. HOWEVER, THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS NOT INVOLVED LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS, OR SITE PLAN REGULATIONS.
SITE PLAN STANDARDS. AND AGAIN. THESE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT IS MANDATED BY FLORIDA STATUTES, MUST BE AN ASPIRATIONAL DOCUMENT. MUST BE LIKE A BIG BRUSH THAT
HAS TO REFLECT THE COMMUNITY VISION. WHAT IS IT ABOUT -- WHAT ARE THE IMPORTANT VALUES THAT BOYNTON BEACH EMBRACE. AND THEN CHANGES IN STATE LEGISLATION. TRENDS AND CHALLENGES AFFECTING THE COMMUNITY. AND DEFINITELY CHANGING
CONDITIONS. ALL OF THOSE KEY FACTORS WILL BE REFLECTED ON THE UPDATED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. NOW I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE MR.
OLIN. >> THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING MAYOR, COMMISSIONERS, I'M A PRINCIPLE PLANNER, I'M HAPPY TO BE HERE TO GO OVER THE SCOPE OF THE PROJECT. AS YOU CAN SEE IN THIS SLIDE, THESE ARE ALL THE ELEMENTS AND
CHAPTERS IN YOUR CURRENT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. THE PROJECT TEAM WILL REVIEW EACH OF THESE ELEMENTS AND WILL UPDATE EACH OF THESE ELEMENTS. EACH ELEMENT HAS TWO COMPONENTS. THE FIRST COMPONENT WILL BE WHAT
WE CALL THE TECHNICAL DOCUMENT, ENCLOSED DATA AND ANALYSIS AND MAP SERIES. AND THE SECOND COMPONENT OF EACH ELEMENT IS THE POLICY DOCUMENT, THIS DOCUMENT IS WHERE YOU WILL SEE THE GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES. AND THE NAMING OF THIS ELEMENT
AS IT STANDS RIGHT NOW, WHEN YOU RECEIVE YOUR FINAL DOCUMENT, THERE'S A POSSIBILITY THAT SOME OF THOSE NAMES WILL CHANGE.
ONE OF THE GUIDING PRINCIPLES IN PREPARING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS TO PROMOTE A SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY. WHAT THAT MEANS IS, THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SHOULD HAVE A BALANCED GROWTH, LONG TERM
LIVEABILITY AND ECONOMIC LIABILITY. IT SHOULD ENCOURAGE AND PROTECT OPEN SPACE. IT ALSO SUPPORTS OUR RESIDENTS
AND SHOULD HAVE ACCESS TO TRANSPORTATION AND HOUSING. IT DOESN'T MATTER THEIR INCOME OR BACKGROUND. ALSO MINIMIZES WAYS AND ENERGY USE.
IN SUMMARY, THE PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN WILL PROTECT THE CITY'S IDENTITY AND CHARACTER, EMBRACE RESILIENCY AND SUSTAINABILITY. PRESERVE THE CITY'S VALUES,
ADOPT LONG TERM STRATEGIES, AND PROVIDE A GOOD QUALITY LIFE FOR ITS RESIDENTS. PROMOTE COMMUNITY STAKE PARTNERS AND ENCOURAGE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT. IN ORDER TO PREPARE THE MILLION
FOR ONE SUSTAINABLE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, ONE OF THE KEY BASES OF THE COMP PLAN IS TO GATHER INFORMATION FROM THE PUBLIC. THAT SHOULD BE THE BASIS, AND
THAT WILL GUIDE US TO PROVIDE THE REPRESENTATION FOR THE CITY'S VALUES. THIS WILL BE A CONTINUOUS ENGAGEMENT WITH THE PUBLIC. WE WILL MAINTAIN OUR REACH THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS, NOT JUST
A KEY MILESTONE IN THIS PROCESS. WE ARE ENVISIONING METHODS TO GET TOGETHER THIS PUBLIC INPUT AND OUTREACH.
WE ARE ENVISIONING IN PERSON PUBLIC MEETINGS, VIRTUAL PUBLIC MEETINGS, DIGITAL ENGAGEMENT, MORE SPECIFIC, THE THEME WORKSHOP, WE ARE PROPOSING 2 OR 3 VISIONING THEME WORKSHOP, AND
WHAT THAT INCLUDES IS, WE WILL -- EACH WORKSHOP WILL ENCOMPASS 2 TO 3 ELEMENTS, AND WE'LL FOCUS ON THOSE THREE ELEMENTS, THAT WILL BE THE THEME FOR THAT WORKSHOP. ALSO, WE'LL HAVE A STAKEHOLDER PANEL.
WE'LL IF A SILL I TATE GROUP DISCUSSIONS, WE'LL PROVIDE INTERACTIVE MATERIAL FOR THE COMMUNITY MAPPING MATERIAL, FOR EXAMPLE. THINGS OF THAT NATURE, TO KIND OF GATHER THE PUBLIC'S VISIONS
FOR THE COMMUNITY. WE ARE PROPOSING ALSO TWO CITY HALLS. THE FIRST WILL BE LIKE A MID PROCESS REVIEW. AND THAT WILL REPRESENT GOALS AND POSSIBLE OPTIONS TO GET
FEEDBACK FROM THE COMMISSION. AND THEN THE FINAL PLAN -- THE FINAL CITY HALL WOULD BE THE FINAL OVERVIEW PROPOSAL, AND AT THAT MOMENT, WE'RE JUST LOOKING TO GATHER YOUR ENDORSEMENTS, AND MAYBE SOME MINOR TWEAKS FOR --
IN ORDER TO CONTINUE IN THE NEXT STEP. WE WILL ALSO HAVE -- WE'RE PLANNING TO HAVE KIOSKS AT MULTIPLE CITY EVENTS, WE'LL GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET THE WORD
OUT, PROVIDE MATERIAL TO THE COMMUNITY. QR CODES WHERE THEY CAN SCAN AND GO TO A SPECIFIC WEBSITE, WHERE THEY CAN FIND ALL KINDS OF INFORMATION, REGARDING THIS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE. AND ALSO, FOR THE VIRTUAL
PUBLIC, THE RESIDENTS THAT ARE NOT ABLE TO ATTEND IN PERSON, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE STREAMS OF THE
WORKSHOP, SO THEY CAN ATTEND. WE WILL PROVIDE LIFE POLES AND Q & A'S WITH THE VIRTUAL PUBLIC AS WELL. AGAIN, WE'LL PROVIDE AN OPEN HOUSE PLATFORM, LIKE A WEBSITE TO HAVE MATERIALS, COMMON CARDS.
YOU CAN FIND SURVEY LINKS, SO THE COMMUNITY CAN GO TO ONE PLACE AND GET ALL THIS INFORMATION. BECAUSE WE ARE AIMING TO HAVE A MAXIMUM COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION. WE'RE GOING TO BE COORDINATING
WITH THE CITY, TO EFFECTIVELY USE MULTIPLE -- ALREADY AVAILABLE PLATFORMS, SUCH AS FACEBOOK, LINIKEDIN, INSTAGRAM,
WE CAN PROMOTE THE PROJECT THAT WAY. TO ACCOMPLISH THIS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE, THERE ARE KEY STEPS THAT WE'LL FOLLOW. STEP NO. 1, WE'RE HERE TODAY
DOING AN INFORMATIONAL PRESENTATION TO THE COMMISSION. AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO END UP WITH THE TWO BIG STEPS, THE BOTTOM OF WHICH WILL BE THE PUBLIC HEARING, THE TRANSMITTAL, IF WE HAVE THE COMMISSION'S BLESSING, IT WILL BE APPLICABLE
AGENCIES, IF EVERYTHING GOES GOOD, WE'LL COME BACK TO YOU FOR A FINAL PUBLIC HEARING, AND THAT WILL BE THE ADOPTION OF THE COMP PLAN. WE'RE FORESEEING THIS WHOLE PROCESS TO TAKE APPROXIMATELY 30 TO 40 WEEKS. AND WITH THAT WE WILL BE HAPPY
TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. >> MAYOR: QUESTIONS? COMMISSIONER KELLEY? >> THANK YOU. I WANTED TO BRIEFLY ASK YOU. I KNOW YOU WENT THROUGH YOUR WAYS OF ENGAGEMENT.
AND I KNOW WHEN WE'VE DONE SIMILAR THINGS LIKE OUR STRATEGIC PLAN AND PARK MASTER PLAN. ALTHOUGH WE'VE HAD LOTS OF VARIOUS WAYS OF HAVING MEETINGS AND VIRTUAL AND EVERYTHING.
OUR PARTICIPATION IS LOW, TO BE HONEST. SO WHAT -- I JUST -- I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT -- I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT WAYS YOU'RE PLANNING TO ROLL OUT AND HAVE MEETINGS. WHAT DO YOU -- YOU KNOW, IF
YOU'RE A COUPLE MEETINGS IN, AND YOU'VE HAD A VIRTUAL MEETING, AND YOU'VE HAD A COUPLE IN PERSON MEETINGS, ARE THERE SOME STRATEGIES THAT YOU HAVE THAT EITHER THE CITY CAN DO OR YOU DO
TO KIND OF ENCOURAGE PARTICIPATION? BECAUSE WE HAVE -- WE HAVE SOME RESIDENTS WHO ARE NOT ON LINE OR DON'T HAVE ACCESS. BUT -- AND THEN WE HAVE SOME RESIDENTS WHO CAN'T -- AREN'T AS MOBILE.
I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE REALLY ADDRESSING ALL THE RESIDENTS. AND IF YOU HAVE MARKERS OR IF YOU NOTICE THAT THERE ISN'T PARTICIPATION, THEN WHAT IS YOUR NEXT STEP, JUST SO WE HAVE AN
IDEA AS TO WHAT WE CAN EXPECT. DO YOU PROVIDE FEEDBACK BACK TO US SAYING, WE'RE HAVING THESE MEETINGS AND WE'RE NOT GETTING FEEDBACK, IS THERE SOMETHING THAT CITY STAFF CAN DO? I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE REALLY -- I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE GET AS MUCH PARTICIPATION AS POSSIBLE.
I WANT TO GET YOUR FEEDBACK, WE'VE DONE THESE STRATEGIC MEETINGS, AND PARK MASTER PLAN MEETINGS, AND WE HAVEN'T HAD AS MUCH PARTICIPATION, AND WE HAVE RESIDENTS THAT COME TO MEETINGS AND SAY THEY DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT 2 IT.
I WANT TO MAKE SURE BEER BEING PROACTIVE ABOUT THAT. SO I WANTED TO GET YOUR FEEDBACK ON THAT. >> THANK YOU FOR YOUR QUESTION. WE BELIEVE AS A TEAM, THAT IT'S IMPERATIVE TO START IN DIFFERENT FRONTS.
THIS CAMPAIGN IS A CAMPAIGN EFFORT, BASICALLY, AND WE'RE GOING TO PARTNER AND WORK REALLY CLOSE WITH THE CITY STAFF. ONE OF THE BIG DIFFERENCE THAT WE WILL BE PROPOSING, THIS IS FOR ANOTHER PROJECT. WE WILL PREPARE POSTERS THAT
WILL HAVE QR CODES, THAT FOR -- IT WILL BE EASIER FOR ANYBODY TO JUST -- WE ARE ALL IN LOVE WITH OUR PHONES, THEN THEY CAN SCAN THIS, AND ANSWER THE SURVEY. THE OTHER DIFFERENCE THAT WE ARE PROPOSING, ALSO.
IS THAT WE ARE GOING TO ATTEND CITY EVENTS. I MEAN WE CALL IT KIOSK OR POP-UPS. IN THOSE CITY EVENTS, WE'LL PREPARE THIS LOW COST, WHICH WILL HAVE THE QR CODES AND WE AM PROVIDE TO THEM.
WE HAVE EXPERIENCE ON ANOTHER PROJECT, HIGH PARTICIPATION WHEN PEOPLE CAN TAKE A LOOK IN THEIR OWN TIME. WHEN WE DO OPEN HOUSE HERE AT
CITY HALL, NOT EVERYBODY HAS THE TIME OR NOT EVERYBODY KNOWS ABOUT IT, IF WE GO TO A GREEN MARKET OR ANY OTHER EVENT, THAT'S WHEN WE WILL PROVIDE THESE, WE WILL TALK ABOUT THE PROJECT, AND AS ALWAYS, WE AIM FOR MAXIMUM PARTICIPATION.
AND WE WILL BE WORKING CLOSELY WITH AMANDA. >> YEAH, THIS IS SOMETHING WE'VE ALREADY STARTED DISCUSSING INTERNALLY, WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT A TIME LINE FOR PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT. WE STRESSED WE WANT A VERY GOOD CROSS SECTION OF THE TYPES OF
ENGAGEMENT WE'RE OFFERING. ONE OF THE FIRST EVENTS WE HOPE WE GET A KIOSK IN IS THIS YEAR'S NIGHT MARKET. WE'RE TRYING TO BE PRESENT WHERE PEOPLE ARE AS WELL AS THE TYPICAL FORUMS. AND I LOVE THAT THEY ARE CALLING THIS A CAMPAIGN. BECAUSE I THINK MARKETING IS A
BIG PART OF THIS. WE ALREADY HAVE STAFF WORKING ON POSTCARDS FOR MAILERS. WE'RE TRYING TO ATTACK THIS ON ALL FRONTS. AND WE KEEP AN EYE ON IT. IF WE SEE WE'RE NOT GETTING PARTICIPATION, WE'LL PIVOT. >> ALSO, JUST TO INFORM THE
COMMISSION,ING CHENMORE HAS BEEN SELECTED BY THE AMERICAN PLANNING ASSOCIATION FLORIDA CHAPTER TO PRESENT AT THE CONFERENCE IN DAYTONA BEACH OUR PROGRAMMING FOR PUBLIC PARTICIPATION.
WE CALL IT FOR PEACE. BECAUSE WE FOCUS ON AN OVERALL CROSS SECTION OF DIFFERENT TYPE OF ENGAGEMENTS. >> RIGHT, THANK YOU. YEAH, I KNOW, AMMANDA YOU KNOW, WE HAVE -- I'M GLAD THAT WE'RE
WORKING ON THAT, THANK YOU FOR WORKING ON THAT WITH THEM. AND MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE -- WE REALLY DO ENCOURAGE THAT PUBLIC PARTICIPATION. AND, I'LL CARRY THE POSTCARDS WITH ME, AND HAND THEM OUT. MAYBE IF WE CAN EVEN TALK TO BUSINESSES TOO, AND POST FLYERS
UP IN WINDOWS, AND ALL THE -- >> WE HAVE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ON BOARD ON SOME OF THIS TOO, SO THEY WILL HAVE THESE MATERIALS, WE'LL MAKE SURE EVERYBODY HAS THEM. IT IS GOING TO BE A GROUP EFFORT. THIS WAS A BIG PART OF THE RFP
AND CHENMORE HAS HAD A LOT OF SUCCESS IN THIS VENUE. WHICH LED TO THEIR SELECTION. >> THANK YOU. >> I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT EVERY MEMBER OF THE COMMISSION TAKES THE INITIATIVE TO GET THIS OUT TO THEIR CONSTITUENT BASE. I HAVE BEEN SENDING EMAILS OF
OTHER UPDATES TO THE CITYWIDE, BUT I DO ENCOURAGE EVERYONE UP HERE TO PULL YOUR CONSTITUENT DATABASE, AND START COMMUNICATING WITH THEM VIA EMAIL TO ENCOURAGE THEM TO DO THAT. I HAVE ONE QUESTION. THIS LOGO, THIS WAS JUST FOR THE PRESENTATION? OR IS THIS SOMETHING THAT -- A
WATER TOWER, IS A LITTLE LIKE -- >> WE WERE -- THAT'S PART OF THE -- >> IT'S THE WATER TOWER. >> IT CAME UP A LOT. >> THIS CAN BE CHANGED. YOU KNOW, THE REAL KIND OF IDEA
BEHIND THIS IS PLANNING TODAY, THRIVING TOMORROW. THE IMAGE, WE CAN AMEND AS NEEDED. I THINK WHEN IT COMES TO MARKETING AND LOGOS, WE ALL HAVE OUR OWN OPINIONS. IF THERE IS FEEDBACK YOU WANT TO GIVE US, THIS CAN CHANGE. THIS IS A LIVING DOCUMENT.
BUT ONCE WE START PRINTING AND MARKETING. [ INAUDIBLE ] >> THE IDEA BEHIND IT IS, WE TRY TO -- >> THE SAIL FISH? >> THE IDEA BEHIND THE LOGO, JUST FOR SOME OF THE THOUGHT
THAT HAPPENED, WE DID WANT TO PUT SOME IDENTIFIABLE THINGS FOR THE CITY, WHICH IS THE WATER TOWER. WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE'RE INCLUDING A GREEN ELEMENT, WHICH ARE THE PALM TREES AND BANYAN TREE. WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE INCLUDED A SCALE OF TYPES OF HOUSING.
WE TRIED TO BE ALL INCLUSIVE IN THIS LOGO. BUT AGAIN, THIS IS -- THIS CAN CHANGE. >> GREAT. ANY OTHER COMMENTS FOR MY COLLEAGUES? >> JUST ONE FOR ME, WITH YOUR
OTHER PROJECTS THAT YOU HAVE IMPLEMENTED, WHAT KIND OF CITIZEN PARTICIPATION HAVE YOU GOTTEN -- HOW MANY OTHER PROJECTS HAVE YOU DONE? >> WE HAVE DONE MORE THAN DOZENS OF UPDATING COMPREHENSIVE PLANS
THROUGHOUT THE STATE. STARTING FROM VERO BEACH TO THE NORTH, ALL THE WAY TO THE LAST ONE WAS -- IT WAS ANOTHER -- IT WAS NORTH PALM, AND ALSO, BROWARD COUNTY.
WE JUST ARE FINISHING UP, IN FACT, TOMORROW, WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING WITH THEM. SO WE HAVE -- AND EVERY COMMUNITY, VICE MAYOR, THE TRUTH IS,ING EVERY COMMUNITY IS DIFFERENT. SOME COMMUNITIES, THEY WOULD LIKE TO DO IT MORE LIKE A LAB.
WE DIAL THE PARTICIPATION. BECAUSE THEY'RE SMALL COMMUNITIES. LIKE, FOR EXAMPLE, I WILL JUST MENTION SMALLER COMMUNITIES, PEOPLE ATTEND THE WORKSHOPS,
THEY HEAD TO THE CITY HALL. BUT OTHER COMMUNITIES. THEY DO FURTHER PARTICIPATION. WE ARE ORGANIZING NOW, WORKSHOPS FOR THE CITY OF WESTLAKE, FOR EXAMPLE. WE ARE GOING TO BE PRESENTING A NUMBER OF ELEMENTS.
AT THE TIME, SO EVERY COMMUNITY IS DIFFERENT. AND WE BELIEVE STRONGLY THAT BOYNTON BEACH, BECAUSE IT'S A DIVERSE COMMUNITY. WILL BE WELL SERVED BY OPENING UP AND LISTENING TO EVERYONE.
SO WE CAN PREPARE A VERY MEANINGFUL AND SUSTAINABLE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. >> THAT'S WHY I ASKED FOR PERCENTAGE, BECAUSE I KNOW YOU CAN'T GO BY NUMBERS. COMMUNITIES HAVE DIFFERENT POPULATIONS. SO WOULD YOU SAY 10%, 50% OF THE
PARTICIPATION? >> YEAH, WE -- >> WE'RE GOING TO BEAT ALL OF THOSE, I'LL TELL YOU RIGHT NOW. >> I'M SURE. WILL FOR SURE. USUALLY THE -- AGAIN, IT'S AROUND 10%, I WILL SAY. YOU KNOW, BECAUSE THIS IS THE
THING. PEOPLE DO NOT PARTICIPATE HEAVILY, WHEN EVERYTHING GOES WELL, YOU KNOW. SO -- AND I CAN REALLY REFLECT ON THAT, I LIVE AT THE TOWN OF JUPITER. SO I TRUST THE PLANNERS IN THE TOWN OF JUPITER.
AND SOMETIMES THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS, WHEN EVERYTHING GOES WELL, AND THE RESIDENTS AND THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY TRUSTS ALL OF YOU, AND TRUSTS THE CITY STAFF, THEN THEY DON'T FEEL COMPELLED TO PARTICIPATE. OTHERWISE THEY WOULD SHOW UP WITH T-SHIRTS HERE.
LIKE THEY DO VERY OFTEN AT PALM BEACH COUNTY MEETINGS. SO IT'S NOT A BAD THING IF YOU DON'T HAVE WIDE RANGE OF PARTICIPATION. IT MEANS ALSO THAT THEY TRUST
ALL OF YOU. >> THANK YOU. >> ARE WE GOOD TO MOVE ON? >> THANK YOU. >> MAYOR: WE DID MOVE UP ITEM 8
B. ANYONE THAT IS HERE TO SPEAK ON -- >> ANYTHING THAT WE -- AT THIS TIME, IF WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A MOTION TO UNTABLE IT. >> SO MOVED. MOTION TO UNTABLE 8B. >> SECOND. >> MAYOR: COMMISSIONER KELLEY
MADE THE MOTION, COMMISSIONER CRUZ GAVE THE SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? >> AYE. >> NOW YOU CAN HAVE A DISCUSSION AS TO WHETHER YOU WANT TO HEAR THE ITEM TONIGHT OR MOVE IT TO ANOTHER TIME DATE CERTAIN, AND THEN WE'LL RETABLE IT.
>> MY BIGGEST THING IS, LAST TIME A RESIDENT CAME UP AND SAID, WE'RE DOING WHAT THE CITY IS TELLING US TO DO. SO IT DOESN'T IMPACT BOTH SIDES OF THE CANAL.
OR IS THIS A BLANKET VARIANCE BECAUSE IT NEEDS TO HAPPEN BECAUSE THERE'S SOME HIGH LEVEL JURISDICTION REQUIREMENTS ABOVE THE CITY THAT MEETS THE NEEDS OF THIS, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE
THAT WE'RE NOT -- THE PERMITTING PROCESS, AS HARD AS IT IS, IT'S GOTTEN BETTER, YOU'VE DONE A GREAT JOB WITH THAT, I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE CAN LOOK INSIDE AND SEE IF THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE WE CAN DO, BEFORE ADOPTING A BLANKET VARIANCE THAT COULD IMPACT OTHER PEOPLE, AND
MITIGATE THE CONCERNS THAT RESIDENTS HAVE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE WATER THERE. >> YES. THANK YOU, AMANDA RADHIGAN, THE REQUEST HAS CHANGED FORMS, SINCE THE LAST TIME WE HEARD IT. INSTEAD OF DOING WHAT WE'RE
CALLING THIS BLANKET VARIANCE FOR EVERYONE ON THAT SIDE. THEY WENT OUT, DID SURVEYS, TOOK MEASUREMENTS, AND NOW THE VARIANCE MEETS 11 DOCKS THAT ARE NOT MEETING CODE BUT EXISTING TODAY AS NONCONFORMING, THE VARIANCE REQUEST NOW IS FOR
THESE 11 DOCKS TO BE ABLE TO BE REBUILT AT THE EXISTING MEASUREMENTS AS THEY EXIST TODAY. >> CASE, GOOD. I THINK THAT SOLVES THE ISSUE THEN. DID WE -- DO WE KNOW IF THERE'S CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN THE OTHER HOA?
>> YES, THERE HAS BEEN -- >> TWO DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES AND WE DIDN'T KNOW THEY WERE TWO DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES. >> YES, THERE'S BEEN A LITTLE CONFUSION. OUR PRINCIPLE PLANNER HAS BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THEIR HOA'S.
HE'S BEEN WORKING WITH BOTH OF THEM TO KEEP THEM INFORMED HOW THE VARIANCE REQUEST IS MOVING FORWARD. THIS ITEM WAS ALSO PUBLICLY NOTICED AGAIN. SO EVERYONE KNOWS THAT IT MAY BE HEARD TODAY TOO.
BUT I -- GABE HAS BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THEM. >> PRINCIPLE PLANNER, I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH BOTH OF THEM. I REQUESTED UPDATES FROM WHAT WE WOULD CONSIDER THE OPPOSING AS OF THE LAST MEETING.
I HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANYTHING TODAY. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANYONE HERE THAT IS STILL IN OPPOSITION. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED AT MY REQUEST, ANY FORMAL OPPOSITION TO WHAT THE CURRENT PROPOSAL IS. >> AND HOW MANY TIMES HAVE WE COMMUNICATED WITH THEM, SINCE THE LAST TIME THIS WAS DISCUSSED?
>> ALMOST EVERY DAY -- NOT -- SINCE THE LAST TIME WE DISCUSSED THIS, EXCUSE ME, SINCE THIS WAS BEING PUBLICIZED FOR THIS HEARING. ALSO, WITH SOME OF THE ISSUES, TYPICALLY IT'S A 10-DAY NOTIFICATION PROCESS, AND WITH
THE APPLICANT AGREEING THAT AT THE TIME OF THE SUBMITTAL, I SENT ALL DOCUMENTS OVER, TO GRANT AN ADDITIONAL TIME FOR THEM TO GRANT A REVIEW OF THOSE DOCUMENTS. >> I BELIEVE THEY HAD LEGAL COUNCIL REPRESENTING THEM, HAVE WE HAD ANY CORRESPONDENCE WITH THEM, DO THEY SEEM OKAY WITH
THIS ADJUSTMENT. IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, I THINK THERE WAS A BRIEF AMOUNT OF CONVERSATION, REVOLVING AROUND SOME FORM OF CHANGE AT THE LAST MEETING, AND THERE WOULD BE FOLLOW-UP. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WAS DONE. >> ALL THE REQUESTED INFORMATION, THE CHANGE THAT
WENT FROM THE INITIAL REQUEST WAS FOR 32 FEET, MAXIMUM OF 32 FEET. AFTER SOME OF THE DISCUSSION THAT HAPPENED AT THE LAST HEARING, AND THE EFFORT OF THE APPLICANT TO CONDUCT THE SITE SURVEY, THEY WERE ABLE TO INDICATE FROM THE SHORE LINE TO
WHICH -- WHAT THE EXTENT WAS, AND THERE'S ONLY 11 THAT ARE IN VIOLATION OF THE QUARTER OF THE WIDTH OF THE WATERWAY RULE. THOSE 11 ARE THE EVEN ONES THAT ARE REQUESTING A VARIANCE AT THIS TIME, IT DOES NOT PRECLUDE ANY OF THESE APPLICATIONS FROM
ACTUALLY GETTING A PERMIT. IT'S ONLY TO ALLOW FOR THEM TO SUBMIT, ANY STATE AGENCY, BUILDING DEPARTMENT, THEY STILL ARE REQUIRED TO GET THOSE PERMITS, THIS JUST WOULD ALLOW THEM TO PROVIDE TO BE ABLE TO OBTAIN THOSE IF APPROVED. >> PERFECT. THANK YOU FOR THAT UPDATE.
NO, I'M GOOD TO MOVE FORWARD. THANKS FOR THE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, THIS IS JUST FIRST READING. >> SO A VARIANCE ONLY REQUIRES ONE HEARING FOR APPROVAL. JUST FOR THE CITY ATTORNEY, SINCE THIS WAS ADVERTISED AS A
PUBLIC HEARING TO BE AT 6:00, WE'RE STILL OKAY TO CONTINUE WITH THE ITEM NOW? >> YES, IT'S BEEN UNTABLED, SO WE CAN CONTINUE AT THIS TIME, WITH -- I GUESS WE'VE HAD THE PRESENTATION. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANY OTHER PRESENTATION FROM THE APPLICANT. AND THEN PUBLIC COMMENT AND THEN A VOTE.
>> THE APPLICANT IS PRESENT. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM HIM AS WELL. >> YES, PLEASE. >> CAN I ASK ONE QUESTION. I WAS NOT HERE FOR THE JUNE 3rd MEETING, AND WE DID NOT TALK ABOUT IT AT AGENDA REVIEW, BECAUSE IT WAS TABLED. I'M A LITTLE OUT OF THE WATER,
THIS IS FRUSTRATING THAT NOW WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THIS, AND MOVING FORWARD. WHAT -- ONE OF MY QUESTIONS IS,
I'M NOT COMFORTABLE MOVING FORWARD WITH THE OTHER PARTY SAYING THEY'RE OKAY WITH, JUST BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO GET IN A SITUATION WHERE THEY SAY, YEAH, SURE, WE WERE GOING TO SEND YOU A LETTER, WE WERE GOING TO SHOW UP, BUT SOMETHING HAPPENED. I WOULD FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE
THAT THEY OBJECTED THAT THEY'VE RESCINDED THAT OBJECTION FOR MY OWN COMFORT. WHAT WAS THE OBJECTION FROM THE RESIDENTS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CANAL, AND IF YOU COULD JUST
BRIEFLY EXPLAIN HOW WE GOT FROM THERE TO HEAR, JUST BECAUSE I WAS NOT AT THAT JUNE 3rd MEETING. >> ABSOLUTELY, FOR A LITTLE BIT OF BRIEF BACKGROUND. THE WAY THE ITEM WAS PRESENTED, THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF CONFUSION AROUND THE REQUEST. THE VARIANCE WAS WRITTEN FOR A
VARIANCE UP TO 32 FEET DEVIATION. THE WAY THE CODE REQUIRES DOCK MAXIMUMS, THEY CANNOT EXTEND MORE THAN ONE QUARTER THE LENGTH INTO THE WATERWAY.
ONE QUARTER FOR A DOCK ON THIS SIDE, ONE ON THIS SIDE, THAT LEAVES HALF THE WIDTH FOR NAVIGATION PURPOSES IN BETWEEN. THERE ARE EXISTING NONCONFORMING DOCKS, EXISTING TODAY THAT ARE IN VIOLATION OF THAT.
THEY DID GET PERMITS, THE CODES HAVE CHANGED SINCE THEY WERE BUILT. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THEM APPROVED -- MANY NEED REPAIR. THE WAY THE VARIANCE WAS
INITIALLY SET UP, WE DID A MAXIMUM FOR THE DOCK THAT WAS PROTRUDING THE FURTHEST, THAT CAUSED A LOT OF DISCOMFORT. WHAT WAS PERCEIVED AS A BLANKET VARIANCE FOR EVERYONE TO NOW PROTRUDE THE MAXIMUM, IT'S
DETAILED WITH AN EXHIBIT IN THE BACK, THAT SAYS, THESE 11 UNITS ARE BEING -- GETTING A VARIANCE FOR 5 FEET, 4 FEET, 2 FEET. WHATEVER EXISTS TODAY. THE DEVIATION GOES FROM 1 FOOT
TO 2.5 SOMETHING FEET OF INTRUSION INTO THAT HALF. >> BUT IT'S NOT EXTENDING ANY OF THE DOCKS PAST WHERE THEY ARE NOW? >> EXACTLY. >> OKAY. OKAY. >> WHERE DID IT END UP, BETWEEN
THE RANGE OF THE 1.1 AND THE 5.4 FEET. >> THE 11 DOCKS ARE WITHIN THAT AREA. SO THE MAXIMUM INTRUSION 5.4. >> 5.4.
>> IS THE LARGEST INTRUSION INTO THAT HALF OF THE WATERWAY, THAT SHOULD REMAIN CLEAR. ALL THE 11 ARE LESS THAN THAT. >> BUT IT'S ALREADY BUILT AT THE 27 FEET. WE'RE NOT EXTENDING IT ANOTHER FIVE FEET, IT IS WHAT IT IS. >> THAT'S CORRECT.
>> WHAT'S ALLOWABLE THERE IS IT 22 FEET, WE'RE JUST -- WE'RE BRINGING IT UP TO WHERE THEY'RE IN COMPLIANCE. >> YES, AND THERE ARE SOME EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES IN MY OPINION, FOR THIS SIDE OF THE CANAL, THEY DO HAVE A NATURAL
SHORE LINE, THEY DON'T HAVE A SEAWALL BULK, THEY'RE ALL TAKEN FROM THE OTHER SIDE. THIS ONE YOU VARIES, BECAUSE THERE ARE MANGROVES THERE, WHICH IS THE REASON FOR SOME OF THEM EXTENDING FURTHER. EXISTING TODAY. >> ALL RIGHT.
GOTCHA. >> THANK YOU. >> DO YOU NEED TO HEAR A PRESENTATION FROM THE APPLICANT? OR ARE YOU OKAY MOVING FORWARD WITH PUBLIC COMMENT? >> EITHER WAY.
>> MAYOR: IF THERE'S ANYONE HERE THAT WANTS TO SPEAK ON THIS ISSUE, PLEASE STAND UP AND RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND. YOU NEED TO BE SWORN OR AFFIRMED THAT YOU WILL GIVE THE TRUTH.
[ SWEARING-IN ] >> I'M SORRY, LET'S DO OUR DISCLOSURES SINCE THIS IS QUASI JUDICIAL.
>> I HAVE NOT HAD ANY EX PARTE COMMUNICATION. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED WRITTEN COMMUNICATION. I HAVE NOT MADE A SITE VISIT. THESE DISCLOSURES BE MADE PART OF THE RECORD.
>> I HAVE NOT HAD ANY EX PARTE COMMUNICATIONS. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED WRITTEN COMMUNICATION. I HAVE NOT CONDUCTED AN INVESTIGATION. I HAVE NOT MADE A VISIT. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED EXPERT OPINION, I REQUEST THAT THE
DISCLOSURES AND ALL WRITTEN COMMUNICATION BE PART OF THE RECORD. >> AS TO THIS MATTER, I HAVE NOT HAD EX PARTE COMMUNICATIONS, I HAVE RECEIVED EMAILS FROM RESIDENTS. AT THE LAST MEETING, I HAVE NOT CONDUCTED AN INVESTIGATION.
I HAVE NOT MADE A SITE VISIT, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED EXPERT OPINIONS OTHER THAN STAFF. I REQUEST THESE DISCLOSURES AND ALL WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS BE MADE PART OF THE RECORD. >> AS TO THIS MATTER, I HAVE NOT
HAD EX PARTE COMMUNICATIONS, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS, OTHER THAN WHAT WAS HANDED TO US IN THE MEETING. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A SITE VISIT, I REQUEST THAT THESE DISCLOSURES AND ALL WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS BE MADE PART OF THE RECORD. THANK YOU. >> SINCE THE LAST DISCUSSION, AS
TO THIS MATTER, I HAVE NOT HAD EX PARTE COMMUNICATIONS, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS, I HAVE NOT CONDUCTED AN INVESTIGATION, I HAVE NOT MADE A SITE VISIT, RECEIVED EXPERT OPINIONS BESIDES
WHAT IS IN FRONT OF US. >> TAMMY, IF YOU COULD READ THE ITEM INTO THE RECORD? >> APPROVAL OF VARIANCE REQUESTED FROM PART 3, CHAPTER 3, ARTICLE 5, SECTION 3.0,
SUPPLEMENTAL REGULATIONS TO GRANT AN INCREASE IN THE LENGTH OF 11 DOCKS, MORE THAN ONE QUARTER THE WIDTH OF THE WATERWAY, WHERE NO MORE THAN ONE QUARTER OF THE WIDTH IS PERMITTED, THE DEVIATION VARIES
FROM 1.1 FEET TO 5.4 FEET. >> NOW, IF YOU DON'T NEED ANY MORE PRESENTATION, WE CAN JUST DO PUBLIC COMMENT. >> MAYOR: ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE
TO GIVE PUBLIC COMMENT, YOU CAN COME ON DOWN. >> GOOD EVENING, MY NAME IS CHRISTINA SARE, I'M THE HOA PRESIDENT FOR MARINER VILLAGE. WE SHARE THE CANAL WITH MANATEE
COVE. MANATEE COVE IS REQUESTING A VARIANCE OF 11 DOCKS THAT CURRENTLY EXCEED THE 25% WIDTH OF THE REGULATIONS. OF THE 11 DOCKS, THREE CURRENTLY HAVE BOAT LIFTS, THE OTHER EIGHT
DO NOT HAVE BOAT LIFTS. THE PROPOSED VARIANCE DOES NOT INCLUDE THE BOAT LIFTS WHICH ARE PERMANENT STRUCTURES, ATTACHED TO THE DOCK AND EXTEND INTO THE CANAL ANOTHER 8 TO 10 FEET. I PUT TOGETHER A CHART THAT HAS BEEN PASSED OUT TO YOU, THAT
LOOKS LIKE THIS. AND THE FIRST PAGE OF THE CHART SHOWS THE 11 DOCKS, THE UNIT NUMBER, THE 25% WIDTH CANAL
REGULATION, BASED OFTEN WHERE THEY ARE LOCATED ON THE CANAL. THE LENGTH OF THE DOCKS, THE AMOUNT OF DOCK THAT EXTENDS BEYOND THE REGULATION. AND LAST, IF A DOCK HAS A BOAT LIFT OR NOT.
THE FOLLOWING TWO PAGES, WHICH LOOK LIKE THIS ARE THE SURVEY EXHIBIT 3 THAT WERE GIVEN TO YOU BY MANATEE COVE. AND THEY HIGHLIGHT IN THE RED
ARROW WHERE THE 11 DOCKS ARE LOCATED TO GIVE YOU PERSPECTIVE OF WHERE EACH OF THE VARIANCES ARE. FOR EXAMPLE, LOOKING AT THE CHART, THE ONE DOCK IN THE VARIANCE EXTENDS INTO THE CANAL
23.3 FEET. IT'S THE THIRD FROM THE BOTTOM ON THE CHART. IN ADDITION, THE DOCK HAS A LIFT THAT IS A MINIMUM OF 8 FEET. IN REALITY, THE DOCK AND THE BOAT LIFT ARE PERMANENT STRUCTURES THAT EXTEND INTO THE CANAL 31.3 FEET.
THE OTHER TWO VARIANCE DOCKS WITH LIFTS ALSO EXTEND IN A SIMILAR AMOUNT. WE AGREE WITH THE VARIANCE REQUEST TO MAINTAIN THE EXISTING DOCKS AT THEIR CURRENT LENGTH. HOWEVER, OUR CONCERN IS THAT THE VARIANCE DOES NOT INCLUDE BOAT
LIFTS, IN THE 25% CANAL WITH REGULATIONS. THIS GIVES LEEWAYS FOR ADDITIONAL DOCKS TO INSTALL BOATS WITH NO REGARD HOW MUCH THE BOAT LIFTS INFRINGE ON TO THE ALREADY NARROW CANAL. I SPOKE TO THE DEPARTMENT OF
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION ABOUT THE 25% CANAL REGULATION. THE PERMITTING PERSON I SPOKE WITH SAID THAT DEP AND THE ARMY CORE OF ENGINEERS SPECIFICALLY INCLUDE BOAT LIFTS IN THE 25 CANAL WIDTH REGULATIONS.
WE ASK THAT YOU AMENDED MANATEE VARIANCE WORDING AND EXHIBIT C. >> MAYOR: TIME'S UP, I'M SORRY. >> THAT WAS THREE MINUTES. >> TO INCLUDE THE DIMENSIONS OF
BOTH THE BOAT AND THE DOCKS. >> THANK YOU. >> TO GO ALONG WITH THAT. >> YOUR NAME. >> MY NAME IS CRAIG SARE, I'M A RESIDENT AT MARINER VILLAGE. SINCE THE PLANNING AND ZONING DOES NOT INCLUDE THE BOAT LIFTS,
WHICH WE FOUND LATER IN THE GAME. YOU LOOK AT EXHIBIT B, IT'S ONLY AN EXCERPT OF THE CODE. THE CODE READS, ALL DOCKS, MOORING PILES, DOLPHINS, WHICH ARE LIKE DOCKS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CANAL, JETTY'S, SEAWALLS,
AND REVETMENTS WHICH ARE LIKE SEAWALLS. ALL PERMANENT STRUCTURES, AND SIMILAR STRUCTURES AND FACILITIES RELATED THERE TO, WHICH COULD INCLUDE -- CERTAINLY INCLUDE BOAT LIFTS. BOAT LIFTS COULD BE FLOATING
WHICH ARE NOT PERMANENT STRUCTURE. SHOULD NOT EXTEND INTO THE WATERWAY MORE THAN ONE QUARTER OF THE WIDTH. PERMANENT STRUCTURES ARE CLEARLY IDENTIFIED IN THE CODE, WE HAVE AT MANATEE ACROSS THE WAY.
ALL THE LIFTS ARE EITHER BOLTED DIRECTLY ON TO THE LIFT -- ON TO THE DOCK, OR THERE ARE EVEN SOME THAT HAVE PILINGS THAT ARE PERMANENTLY IN THE CANAL WITH A LIFT IN. WE FEEL THAT THAT UNIT SHOULD BE
LOOKED AT AS A PERMANENT STRUCTURE, AND PART OF THE 25%. AND PART OF THE VARIANCE, WE'RE NOT SAYING SOMEBODY HAS TO TAKE THEIR LIFT OFF NOW, WE'RE SAYING DIMENSION ALI, THINGS SHOULD INCLUDE THE LIFTS, AND IN THE FUTURE, WHEN YOU ARE EVALUATING
ADDING A LIFT, YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT YOU'RE ACTUALLY ADDING 8, 10 PLUS FEET TO THE LENGTH OF THAT DOCK STICKING INTO THE CANAL. SO WE'D LIKE THE VARIANCE AND EXHIBIT C TO BE AMENDED TO
INCLUDE EXISTING LIFTS. AND THE DIMENSIONS TO BE UPDATED ACCORDINGLY AND WE WOULD PROPOSE THAT PLANNING AND ZONING BROADEN THEIR DEFINITION OF THE 25% TO
INCLUDE THE LIFTS IN THE 25%, WHEN THEY'RE DOING FUTURE PERMITTING EVALUATIONS. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU, NEXT PLEASE?
>> MY NAME IS MIKE REESE, I'M A RESIDENT AT MARINER VILLAGE, ACROSS FROM WHERE THE VARIANCE IS GOING ON. THEY GAVE THAT TO ME AS PART OF WHAT WIRE TALKING ABOUT TONIGHT. WE'VE HAD ONE ACCIDENT WHERE A
BOAT WAS TURNING, AND THOSE LIFTS, YOU'RE NOT FAMILIAR ARE I-BEAMS, THEY'RE METAL AND THEY STICK OUT, IF YOU HIT THAT WITH YOUR GEL COAT, YOU'RE DEFINITELY GOING TO DAMAGE YOUR BOAT. WE -- ABSOLUTELY ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THAT TAKING UP PART OF
THAT, 25% OF THE DOCK AND PUSHING OUT 10, 12 FEET FOR THE LIFT. YOU WOULD THINK 10, 12 FEET BECAUSE A BOAT 10 FEET, THEY STILL NEED A FEW FEET EXTRA TO GET THE LIFT ON. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE VERY CLEAR ABOUT THAT WE ALSO WANT TO
MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND, IF YOU LOOK AT THE CANAL ON THE OTHER SIDE, SOME OF THESE LIFTS ACTUALLY TURN 90 DEGREES, AND THEY'RE JUTTED OUT INTO THE CANAL AND NOT HORIZONTAL. WE FEEL THERE'S A LACK OF
REGULATION OR REGULATORY OVERSIGHT ON HOW THESE LIFTS CAN BE PUT INTO THESE DOCKS. THEY CAN ALSO BE PUT ON THEIR OWN PILINGS, SO IF YOU TAKE YOUR DOCK OUT 25%. THEN YOU DRILL, AND PUT NEW
PILINGS IN PAST THE DOCK, NOW YOU'RE WAY OUT THERE, PLUS, YOU HAVE THE LIFT. OH, WAIT A MINUTE, LET'S TURN THE LIFT 90 DEGREES, YOU'RE OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE AREA. WE'RE JUST BRINGING IT TO YOUR ATTENTION WE'RE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE LIFTS. THE WAY THE REBUILD IS TALKED
ABOUT IN THE VARIANCE, AS FAR AS JUST REPLACING WHAT'S THERE AS IT IS. EVERYBODY'S FINE WITH THAT. WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WHAT'S THERE IS BUILT JUST LIKE THAT, WE CAN LIVE WITH IT.
AS FAR AS PUSHING THE LIFTS OUT FURTHER, IF THAT HAPPENS IN THE FUTURE, WE HOPE THERE'S SOME KIND OF WAY TO DIAL THAT BLACK, MAYBE HAVE SOME KIND OF FORMULA, WHERE YOU GIVE UP SOME DOCK TO PUT IN A LIFT, THAT TYPE OF THING. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU.
NEXT, PLEASE. >> MY NAME IS CRAIG MADALON. I'VE LIVED IN MARINER VILLAGE FOR OVER 23 YEARS. A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT MOVE INTO A BOATING COMMUNITY, IT'S OUR
FIRST TIME HAVING A BOAT, LIVING ON THE WATER. I DIDN'T KNOW A LOT OF THINGS THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW. I DIDN'T KNOW YOU CAN'T CUT DOWN MANGROVES, I DIDN'T KNOW YOU NEED 25%. I DIDN'T KNOW A LOT OF THINGS ABOUT LIVING ON THE WATER.
WHEN YOU GET A BOAT, I LEARN QUICKLY. WE'RE A NARROW CANAL. THAT 50% IS INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT TO US. THOSE OF US WHO HAVE A SINGLE ENGINE BOAT, WE NEED THAT 50% TO TURN AROUND.
WHEN TWO BOATS ARE INNED CANAL, ONE COMING, ONE GOING, THAT 50% IS VERY IMPORTANT. WHEN BOYNTON BEACH COMES DOWN WITH THEIR BIG BEAUTIFUL BOAT,
THEY NEED 50%. IN THE YEARS I'VE BEEN THERE, WE HAVE HAD TO HAVE OUR CANAL DREDGED. THEY COME DOWN WITH A 60 FOOT BARGE WITH A GIANT CRANE ON IT, TO DREDGE THE CANAL.
THEY NEED EVERY INCH OF THAT 50%. WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY IS THAT AS IT IS RIGHT NOW, IN ALL THE YEARS I'VE BEEN THERE, I'M NOT COMPLAINING THAT'S WHAT'S THERE NOW ISN'T OKAY, WE'RE JUST CONCERNED THAT EVERY INCH PAST THAT WILL BE CRITICAL IN
MAINTAINING OUR CANAL PROPERLY. THANK YOU. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU. NEXT, PLEASE. >> MAYOR SHELTON, COMMISSIONERS, THANK YOU FOR GIVING US AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK. MY NAME IS JOHN CONWAY, I'VE
LIVED IN MARINER VILLAGE FOR PROBABLY 35 GOING ON 40 YEARS NOW. YOU HEARD IT AGAIN, I'M GOING TO TRY NOT TO REPEAT WHAT YOU ALREADY HEARD. WE DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ANYTHING EXISTING IN THE 11 VARIANCES. IT'S NOT A PROBLEM.
THREE OF THOSE HAVE LIFTS. THE PROBLEM WITH THE WAY I'M INTERPRETING THIS IS WHAT WE DON'T WANT, A SECOND BITE OF THE APPLE. YOU GOT YOUR VARIANCE, YOU DON'T GET TO COME IN AND ADD A LIFT ON
TOP OF WHAT YOU'VE ALREADY GOT IN EXCESS OF THE 25%. NOW, WE DON'T ALLOW LIFTS ON OUR SIDE, IT'S JUST POINT BLANK, WE DON'T. AND IF YOU'VE ALREADY HEARD ONE OF THE BIG THINGS IS, A LIFT IS
DIFFERENT FROM A BOAT. YOUR BOAT MOVES, YOUR LIFT DOES NOT MOVE. THAT'S IN SOME OF THE LIFTS STICK OUT EVEN FURTHER BELOW THE WATER. BOTTOM LINE, THAT'S OUR ISSUE. WE CERTAINLY LIKE PLANNING AND
ZONING TO START CONSIDERING THE LIFTS AS PART OF THE STRUCTURE, BUT OUR IMMEDIATE ISSUE IS, ON THE 11 VARIANCES, WE DON'T WANT A SECOND BITE AT THE APPLE. THANK YOU. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU. NEXT, PLEASE.
>> GOOD EVENING, CASEY EASILY. THEIR SIDE DOES NOT ALLOW LIFTS, AND THEIR HOA PRESIDENT POINTED OUT THAT THE BOATS ARE GOING TO STICK OUT 8 FEET WITH THE LIFT. IF YOU'RE NOT FAMILIAR WITH
MOORING LIFTS, IT SITS IN THE WATER 8 1/2 FEET WIDE. IF I HAD A LIFT, IT WOULD STICK OUT 8 1/2 FEET WIDE. IT HAS TO SIT FURTHER AWAY THAN 8 1/2 FEET, BECAUSE YOU NEED ROOM AS A BUFFER WHEN THE WIND
BLOWS, SO YOUR BOAT DOESN'T BANG ON THE DOCK, MY BOAT PROBABLY SITS OUT 11 AND A HALF FEET FROM THE WATER, THE SAME AS MARINER'S VILLAGE, SAME THING. ALL THEIR BOATS, THEY DON'T HAVE A LIFT.
THEIR BOATS EXTEND OUT INTO THE CANAL FURTHER THAN THE BEAM OF THE BOAT, WHICH IS THE WIDTH OF THE BOAT, 8 FEET, SOMETIMES 9 FEET. THAT ARGUMENT IS MOOT AND FALSE IN MY OPINION. IF I HAD A LIFT, MY BOAT WOULD BE FURTHER IN, BECAUSE IT WOULD
BE RIGHT UP AGAINST MY PILINGS. IF I HAD A BOAT LIFT, IT WOULD ONLY STICK OUT 8 1/2 FEET, AS OPPOSED TO 12 1/2 FEET, THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE CONCERNED ABOUT, ABOUT NAVIGATING AND TURNING THEIR BLOAT AROUND. I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH THEM,
I'M ON THE SAME PAGE WITH THEM, I HAVE A SINGLE ENGINE BOAT. 50I I'M SORRY, IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO DRIVE A BOAT, YOU SHOULD TAKE SOME LESSONS. I KNOW HOW TO TURN MY BOAT AROUND, BECAUSE OF OUR NATURAL
SHORE LINE, IT'S NOT A STRAIGHT SEAWALL LIKE THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT. IT CURVES IN AND OUT. PUTTING A LIFT IN IS GOING TO BE BENEFICIAL, BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO BRING OUR BOATS IN FURTHER TO OUR DOCKS, SO THERE'S NOT NAVIGATION ISSUES.
CURRENTLY, OUR BOATS WITH MOORING WHIPS STICK WAY OUT INTO THE CANAL. THAT'S IT. THANK YOU. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU. >> HAVE YOU BEEN SWORN IN? >> I HAVE. HI, KEVIN BEE,I I ING -- I'M ON
BOARD AT MANATEE COVE. I'VE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH THE PRESIDENT FOR THE HOA ACROSS THE CANAL. I'M SHOCKED RIGHT NOW THAT THIS IS EVEN A POINT THAT WE'RE DISCUSSING, BECAUSE AHEAD OF THIS MEETING, SHE SAID SHE'S NOT GOING TO FIGHT THE VARIANCE, AND HER WE ARE, THERE'S OPPOSITION
TO IT, AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY. WE'RE -- WE'VE BEEN COMMUNICATING WITH THEM, OUR LEGAL COUNCIL HAS BEEN IN TOUCH WITH THEIR LEGAL COUNCIL, WE'VE DONE EVERYTHING THAT THEY'VE ASKED US TO. IF THIS WAS A CONCERN, IT'S SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED WITH LEGAL COUNCIL AHEAD OF THIS MEETING, AS
OPPOSED TO AT THE 11th HOUR, SEEMINGLY DERAILING EVERYTHING WE'VE BEEN WORKING TOWARD. AND FRANKLY, WASTING EVERYONE'S TIME AND MONEY TO HAVE OUR LAWYER HERE AGAIN TO WAIT TO GET THIS PUSHED OUT AGAIN. IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S GOING TO, AND
I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND. WE'RE DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN TO MOVE FORWARD, BE GOOD NEIGHBORS, COMMUNICATE. AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE WE SHOULD BE DOING, BUT FROM MY
PERSPECTIVE, WE'RE JUMPING THROUGH HOOPS THAT ARE CHANGING. I WANTED TO VOICE MY FRUSTRATION WITH THAT. AND JUST ASK THAT WE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS, AND BE DONE WITH, AND LET PEOPLE REBUILD THEIR DOCKS THAT NEED TO BE REBUILT. SO THANK YOU.
THAT'S ALL I HAVE. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU. >> IF I MAY, AMANDA RADHIGAN PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR. IT SOUNDS LIKE A LOT OF THE
CONCERNS IS AROUND THE INTERPRETATION, CURRENTLY THE LDRs DO NOT COUNT BOAT LIFTS TOWARD DOCKS. THEY DO NOT COUNT TOWARD DOCKS. NOW, THE THOUGHT PROCESS IS THAT YOUR BOAT LIFT GOES WHERE YOUR BOAT GOES. WE WOULD BE PUTTING YOUR BOATS
ON THE BOAT LIFTS, AND PARKING OF THE BOATS IS NOT PART OF THE DOCK. THE VARIANCE REQUESTED IS FOR THE DOCK, AND THAT'S IT. WE CANNOT GRANT A VARIANCE FOR SOMETHING WE DO NOT REGULATE. THAT DOESN'T MEAN IF THE COMMISSION WISHES US TO REVIEW
OTHER REGULATIONS ABOUT BOAT LIFTS, WE'RE HAPPY TO DO THAT, BUT FOR THIS SPECIFIC REQUEST, IT'S LARGELY IRRELEVANT, BECAUSE WE DON'T REGULATE THEM AS IT STANDS TODAY. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU. SIR? >> DAVID MILLAGE FOR THE RECORD,
FOR THE APPLICANT, JUST TO -- THANK YOU. MISS RADHIGAN FOR EVERYTHING. IT SEEMS LIKE FROM A LOT OF THE PUBLIC COMMENT TONIGHT, THERE'S ONE THING THAT THERE'S A LOT OF AGREEMENT, THEY'RE OKAY WITH WHAT'S EXISTING TODAY. AND THAT'S WHAT THE VARIANCE IS
OUTLINING FOR EVERYBODY, IS, WE'RE ONLY REQUESTI ING WHAT IS EXISTING TODAY. IT COULD BE A CODE INNING TIRE PRETAKING, OR -- INTERPRETATION, OR MAYBE THERE'S A FUTURE CODE AMENDMENT THAT THE CITY
INITIATES TO CLEAN THIS UP. TONIGHT WE'RE ONLY REQUESTING FOR WHAT IS EXISTING TODAY, TO BE APPROVED, JUST SO THAT ANY LIFE SAFETY ISSUES COULD BE FIXED, THEY CAN GO TO PERMIT. RIGHT NOW, WE'RE RESTRICTED TO ONLY DOING PERMITS THAT ARE ONE
THIRD OF THE COST. SO TECHNICALLY THEY CAN COME IN TODAY FOR ONE THIRD OF THE COSTS, GET THAT CO 'd, COME IN THE NEXT DAY, DO ONE THIRD OF THE COSTS, GET IT CO 'd AND COME BACK THE FOLLOWING DAY AND HAVE A FULL REPAIR. WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR ANYTHING
MORE, WE'RE JUST ASKING FOR THE STATUS QUO TO REMAIN. AGAIN, THESE ARE VESTED DOCKS THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED AND PERMITTED BY THE CITY. THANK YOU. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE FOR PUBLIC COMMENT?
ANYONE ONLINE? >> THERE IS SOMEONE ONLINE. THERE'S EVERETT GAWINDO IS ONLINE, AND IF YOU COULD UNMUTE HIM AND ALLOW HIM TO SPEAK FOR
PUBLIC COMMENT. SIR, IF YOU COULD UNMUTE AND THEN STATE YOUR NAME. >> YES. I'M HERE. CAN YOU HEAR ME? >> MAYOR: YES. YOUR THREE MINUTES IS STARTING NOW. >> OKAY.
I LIVE AT 740 MARINER'S WAY, RIGHT ACROSS FROM THE OTHER FOLKS. MY DOCK IS IN REASONABLY GOOD SHAPE. I WAS TRYING TO GET A BOAT LIFT PERMIT. AND THIS STOPPED ME FROM THAT AS WELL, AND AS THE PREVIOUS FELLOW
WAS JUST TALKING AND EXPLAINING, IF I PUT A BOAT LIFT IN, MY BOAT WILL COME UP CLOSER TO THE DOCK THAN WHEN IT'S BEING MOORED ON WHIPS, SO THERE WILL ACTUALLY BE MORE ROOM FOR PEOPLE TO GO AROUND MY BOAT WHEN IT'S DOCKED.
SO I DON'T WANT TO TAKE ANYBODY'S ADDITIONAL TIME, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE THE PREVIOUS SPESP SPEAKER GAVE THE SAME REASONS I WOULD BE SPEAKING ABOUT. THAT'S ALL I NEED TO SAY, I GUESS. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU SO MUCH,
SIR. >> YOU'RE WELCOME. >> MAYOR: PUBLIC COMMENT IS CLOSED ON THIS ITEM. DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER COMMENTS FROM MY COLLEAGUES? COMMISSIONER TURKEN?
>> NO, I DO WANT TO PROPOSE WE CLEAN UP THE BOAT LIFT, THAT'S THE ONLY WAY I'M GOING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS, IS THAT STAFF LOOKS AT WHAT WAS ADDRESSED SO THAT CAN BE REGULATED, AND THEN I THINK THAT'S A FAIR COMPROMISE BETWEEN ALL THE RESIDENTS.
THAT'S MY POSITION NOW. >> COMMISSIONER KELLEY? >> NO, I SUPPORT THAT, COMMISSIONER TURKIN, I UNDERSTAND THE POSITION, I TOTALLY -- YOU KNOW, YOUR BOAT LIFT IS ONLY AS WIDE AS -- IF NOT LESS WIDE THAN YOUR BOAT, SO IT MAKES SENSE, I THINK WE NEED
TO CLEAN IT UP SO IT'S CLEAR AND THERE'S NO QUESTION AS FAR AS THAT GOES. SO AMANDA, YOU KNOW, IF THAT'S LOOKING AT OTHER CODES AND WHAT -- HOW THAT HAS CHANGED AND
EVOLVED, ESPECIALLY SINCE SOUTH FLORIDA'S BECOME QUITE THE BOATING MECCA, I'M SURE IT'S SOMEWHERE IN ANOTHER MUNICIPALITY, TO LOOK AT -- AT JUST CLEANING THAT UP AND MAKING SURE IT'S CLEAR. SO THERE IS NO QUESTION, THAT
WE'RE NOT -- LET'S MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE MAKING THIS -- YOU KNOW, WE'RE CLEANING -- THIS IS ANOTHER ONE THAT WE'RE CLEANING UP, THAT NEEDS TO BE CLEANS UP, SO THANK YOU. >> MAYOR: VICE MAYOR HAY? >> I SUPPORT THAT WHOLEHEARTEDLY.
>> MAYOR: COMMISSIONER CRUZ. >> SAME FOR ME. I SUPPORT CLEANING UP THE LANGUAGE. JUST TO REITERATE, I WANT TO MAKE SURE IT DOES NOT GO BEYOND WHAT THE SCOPE OF IT CURRENTLY IS, AND THERE'S NO AMBIGUITY THAT COULD ALLOW FOR THAT TO
HAPPEN. >> YES, MA'AM. >> MAYOR: GREAT. >> MOTION TO APPROVE. >> SECOND. >> MAYOR: COMMISSIONER TURKIN MADE THE MOTION TO APPROVE. LET ME GET THE RIGHT VARIANCE
NUMBER, OR IS THERE ONE? TO INCREASE THE LENGTH OF THE DOCK MORE THAN A QUARTER OF THE WIDTH OF THE WATERWAY. AND COMMISSIONER CRUZ MADE THE SECOND. IS THAT RIGHT? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. >> AYE. >> OPPOSED? NAY. AND THE MOTION PASSES
UNANIMOUSLY. OKAY, NOW WE'RE GOING BACK TO FOUR, WHICH IS PUBLIC AUDIENCE. I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE FOR COMING OUT THAT'S WILL LEAVING. IF YOU COULD PLEASE LINE UP AT
EACH PODIUM, YOU WILL HAVE THREE
MINUTES TO SPEAK.
>> SUSAN OYER, BOYNTON BEACH. I BROUGHT THIS UP LAST NIGHT. I BROUGHT UP IN THE PAST, AND DISCUSSED WITH COMMISSIONER TURKIN, WE SHOULD BE DOING A FOUNDER'S DAY EVENT. WE HAVE MULTIPLE DAYS WE CELEBRATED IN THE PAST, THE ACTUAL FOUNDERS DAY, WHEN MAJOR
BOYNTON GOT HERE, AND IT WAS IN 1895, I KNOW MY GREAT GRANDMOTHER AND HER HUSBAND, MY GREAT GRANDFATHER BROUGHT THEM HERE. THAT WAS CELEBRATED IN 1995, THIS YEAR WOULD BE THE 130th
ANNIVERSARY. THERE'S ALSO A SEPARATE OFFICIAL RECOGNITION DATE, I DON'T KNOW, SOMEBODY TOLD ME ANOTHER DATE, LIKE 1898 LAST NIGHT FOR SOMETHING ELSE, AND THEN, OF COURSE, THERE'S THE INCORPORATION DATE. BUT YOU KNOW, WE'RE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR SOMETHING POSITIVE
TO CELEBRATE, MAYBE WE SHOULD BE LOOKING AT A COUPLE OF THESE DATES AND PUTTING THEM ON OUR CALENDARS FOR EVERY FIVE YEARS. I KEEP SAYING, LET'S DO A FOUNDERS DAY. I GOT THE IDEA FROM KIWANAS CLUB, THEY DO FOUNDER'S DAY
AROUND THE STATES. WE COULD EASILY PARTNER WITH KIWANAS OR ROTARY, ALL THE HISTORICAL GROUPS. AND I'D OBVIOUSLY SUGGEST LATE IN THE FALL, WHEN IT'S COOL AND NOT SOME UNGODLY HOT TEMPERATURE OUT.
SECOND OF ALL, I'M IN D.A.R., DAUGHTERS OF THE AMERICAN REV FUSION. AND NEXT YEAR IS OUR NATION'S 250th ANNIVERSARY. WHICH WE SHOULD BE CELEBRATING IN A NONAPOLITICAL KIND OF WAY. THEY HAVE PUT TOGETHER AMERICA 250.
AND THAT IS A COLLECTION OF WEBSITES AROUND ALL THE STATES. AND THEY ARE -- THERE'S A SPECIFIC ONE FOR FLORIDA, AND THEY'RE TAKING A LIST OF EVENTS EACH CITY OR GROUP IS DOING, AND THEY HAVE THREE ON THERE ALREADY FOR FLORIDA, OF COURSE, BOCA IS
NUMBER ONE. I REALLY THINK WE SHOULD BE LOOKING AT WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO FOR OUR NATION'S 250th. AND GET IT THE HECK ON THAT WEBSITE. BECAUSE WE'RE OLDER THAN BOCA, BY SEVERAL YEARS, AND THAT MAKES US BETTER. AND MAYBE WE SHOULD BE LOOKING AT ALL THE OTHER CITIES THAT ARE
OVER 100 YEARS IN AGE TOO, AND MAYBE WE SHOULD BE DOING SOMETHING AS A GROUP, AND DOING HISTORICAL TOURS, DOING HISTORICAL VISITS. WE'RE ALWAYS LOOKING TO INCREASE TOURISM FOR OUR CITY, SO WHY NOT DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT, WHERE YOU COULD BE HERE FOR A WEEKEND AND HIT A COUPLE DIFFERENT
CITIES. AND MAYBE PLAN SOMETHING OUT LIKE THAT. I'D LIKE TO -- THAT LOGO, I DIDN'T LIKE THE TALL BUILDINGS, THE RESIDENTS KEEP TELLING YOU WE DON'T WANT THEM. I LOVE THE WATER TOWER AND THE SAIL FISH TOO. THANK YOU.
>> MAYOR: THANK YOU, NEXT, PLEASE. >> CINDY DICORADO. WHAT HAPPENED WITH OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT'S ALREADY BEEN DONE. IT'S BEEN LESS THAN 20 YEARS, IT WAS LESS THAN 10 YEARS, WHAT ARE
WE GOING TO PAY FOR THIS NEW COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR OUR CITY. THIS IS ANOTHER WASTE OF OUR FUNDS, BECAUSE NOTHING WAS IMPLEMENTED ON THE LAST ONE, AS YOU WELL KNOW. WE SPENT TIME, MONEY, ENERGY AND NOTHING WAS IMPLEMENTED. I'M TIRED OF HEARING STUFF,
SPENDING MONEY, MEETINGS, AND NOTHING GETS IMPLEMENTED. I WANT TO BRING UP ABOUT THE LICENSE PLATE READERS. DO NOT BELIEVE YOUR LIE THIS IS FOR YOUR SAFETY. THEY ARE TRACKING CITIZENS MOVEMENTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY IN REALTIME. THERE'S BEEN NO PUBLIC VOTE, NO
PUBLIC CONSENT ON WHO OVERSEES THESE SYSTEMS OR HOW LONG THE DATA IS KEPT. THIS INVITES ABUSE. THESE ARE NOT THE READERS IN THE POLICE CAR, THIS IS A.I. CAMERAS READING YOUR LICENSE PLATE AND PINGING A POLICE OFFICER TO
CHASE YOU DOWN. WE ARE NOT A POLICE STATE. FACTS, THEY ARE UNCONS UNCONSTITUTIONAL, THEY VIOLATE THE 4th, 5th, 6th AMENDMENTS. THEY VIOLATE THE STATUTORY 241 AND 242.
THEY VIOLATE THE FLORIDA CONSTITUTION, ARTICLE 1 SECTION 12, THEY VIOLATE DRIVER'S PRIVACY PROTECTION ACT 18 USC SECTION 2721, THEY ARE TRACKING WE THE PEOPLE. AND WE THE PEOPLE SAY NO. I HAVE SIGNED PETITIONS HERE, I'D LIKE TO LEAVE BEFORE I LEAVE
THE DAIS, WHICH I'LL HAND OVER FOR HER TO SEE, OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THAT SAY NO, WE DON'T WANT TO BE TRACKED, WE DON'T WANT TO BE SPIED ON, WE DON'T WANT TO BE ATTACKED BY THE POLICE, BECAUSE THEY GET PINGED FROM AN AI SITTING BEHIND YOUR CAR AROUND TOWN.
IT'S MOSTLY HERE IN BOYNTON BEACH, IT'S ALSO PALM BEACH COUNTY AS WELL. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A COMMENT REGARDS TO AN INFORMATIONAL NOTICE OF VIOLATION, PUT IN MY DOOR. IT'S THE CONCERN ABOUT THE WORDING, IT WAS USED AS THE RECENT NOTICE, INFORMATIONAL NOTICE OF VIOLATION, THIS WAS
ABOUT THE GARBAGE PICKUP. WHO USES THAT TERMINOLOGY, YOU'RE ALREADY TELLING PEOPLE THEY'VE COMMITTED A VIOLATION, WHEN YOU FIRST LOOK AT THIS NOTICE, AND IT PUTS SHOCK IN PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE A LAW ABIDING CITIZEN AND YOU TRY TO PUT THE TRASH OUT ON THE
RIGHT DAY. MANY PEOPLE ARE BOTHERED BY THAT WHICH IS IN OUR COMMUNITY. IN REGARDS TO THE THE CRA PURCHASING PROPERTY, AGAIN, I GOT A FLOTATION IN MY DOOR, AFTER THE MEETING, WHICH I
WASN'T EVEN AWARE THERE WAS ONE P.M. OF THE CRA, THAT WANTS TO PURCHASE PROPERTY FROM GATEWAY TO BOYNTON BEACH BOULEVARD AND LEASE IT TO BIG CORPORATIONS. BIG CORPORATIONS SHOULD NOT CONTROL OUR CITY. THEY'RE TRYING TO STOP OUR LOCAL
LEADERS, WHICH ARE OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS FROM DOING WHAT IS BEST FOR OUR CITY. THEY'RE NOT TO SPEAK ON BUY HALF OF WE THE PEOPLE, THIS IS NOT RIGHT, IT'S SNEAKY.
>> MAYOR: ANYONE ELSE IN THE ROOM WANT TO SPEAK TO PUBLIC COMMENT. 12K3W4R. >> HUGH BRUDDER FIRE CHIEF. I HAVE THE GURU WHO RUNS OUR FIRST RESPONDER MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAM TO SAY A FEW WORDS.
>> MARIE GUMA. THANKS FOR HAVING ME HERE, MAYOR SHELTON AND ALL THE COMMISSIONERS. IT'S BEEN A COUPLE YEARS SINCE WE'VE SEEN EACH OTHER. I JUST WANTED TO GIVE AN UPDATE ON WHAT HAS BEEN OCCURRING
WITHIN THE CITY. FIRST AND FOREMOST, YOU ARE PROBABLY ONE, IF NOT THE MOST TRAIL BLAZING GOVERNMENT ADMINISTRATION, AND POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENT WITHIN THE STATE OF FLORIDA. I CONFIDENTLY SAY THAT SINCE I HAVE CONTACT WITH MOST OF THEM.
IF IT WASN'T BECAUSE OF YOU AND THE ADMINISTRATION, THAT WE NOW HAVE FOR POLICE AND FIRE, IT WOULD BE VERY DIFFERENT FROM WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE RIGHT NOW. WITHIN THIS YEAR, YOU KNOW, THAT OUR YEAR IS OCTOBER TO OCTOBER,
SO WE HAVE THREE MONTHS LEFT. THE FIREFIGHTERS THAT WE HAVE SEEN TO DATE FROM OCTOBER TO NOW ARE 56 TOTAL FIREFIGHTERS WITH 173 THERAPY SESSIONS, AS OPPOSED TO LAST YEAR. WE HAD 41 FIREFIGHTERS WITH A
TOTAL SESSION OF 218 TOTAL SESSIONS. THIS YEAR, WE HAVE SEEN A BIG UPTAKE I GUESS IN POLICE OFFICERS, IT TAKES A WHILE TO BUILD THE TRUST FOR BOTH FIRE AND POLICE. WE'VE SEEN 37 POLICE OFFICERS
WITH TOTAL SESSIONS 148 TOTAL SESSIONS THIS YEAR SO FAR. LAST YEAR WE SAW 21 POLICE OFFICERS AND 122 THERAPY SESSIONS. SO THAT'S A TOTAL SO FAR THIS
YEAR, 83 FIRST RESPONDERS, THAT WE HAVE SEEN. AND 321 SESSIONS TO DATE. LAST YEAR'S TOTAL, 2023 TO 2024 WERE 62 FIRST RESPONDERS SEEN, WITH A TOTAL SESSION OF 340.
SO WE DO HAVE ROLLOVER SESSIONS THAT ROLL INTO EVERY YEAR THAT ARE NOT USED. WE ATTENDED ABOUT 12 TO 15 CRITICAL DEBRIEFS, WHEN THERE'S A PEDIATRIC CALL OR ANY KIND OF
INCIDENT THAT HAS CREATED SOME FORM OF OVER EXERTION MORE THAN THE TYPICAL -- YOU KNOW, A TRAUMATIC CALL, THEN WE GO AND WE ASSIST, WE EITHER ASSIST IN THE DEBRIEF OR CARRY THE DEBRIEF, WE'VE DONE 12 TO 15 ALREADY THIS YEAR, AND WE DID A
TOTAL OF 7 LAST YEAR. WE'VE HAD -- WE'VE HANDLED TWO MAJOR MENTAL HEALTH INCIDENCES, INCLUDING MAYBE SUICIDAL IDEATIONS. WE'VE DONE TWO THIS YEAR
ALREADY, AND WE DID A TOTAL OF FOUR LAST YEAR. AND SO FAR THIS YEAR -- >> MAYOR: YOU CAN FINISH. >> WE SAVED TWO MARRIAGES, AND LAST YEAR WE SAVED FOUR TOTAL MARRIAGES. >> MAYOR: GREAT, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> MAYOR: ANYONE ELSE FOR PUBLIC COMMENT BEFORE WE MOVE TO ONLINE? I DON'T SEE ANYONE ONLINE, DO YOU? >> NO, THERE IS NO ONE ONLINE. >> THERE IS NO ONE ONLINE, SO WE WILL BE CLOSING PUBLIC COMMENT AND MOVING ON TO ADMINISTRATIVE.
AS WE MOVE ON TO THE ADMINISTRATION PORTION, 5A, IT WILL BE TO RATIFY THE BOARD'S DECISION TO NAME LORI WILKINSON AS CHAIR AND SANDRA WATKINS FOR VICE CHAIR OF THE EDUCATION AND
YOUTH ADVISORY BOARD. >> SO MOVED. >> SECOND. >> MAYOR: ALL IN FAVOR? >> AYE. >> MAYOR: OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. MOVING ON TO ADVISORY BOARD APPOINTMENTS.
WE HAVE ONE REAPPOINTMENT, THE NOMINATION GOES TO COMMISSIONER KELLEY, WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE YOUR MOTION? >> YES, I WOULD LIKE TO NOMINATE EARL BAKER TO THAT REGULAR POSITION. >> SECOND. >> MAYOR: COMMISSIONER KELLEY
MOVED TO APPROVE THE EARL BAKER. VICE MAYOR HAY MADE THE SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? >> AYE. >> MAYOR: OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. WE HAVE ONE APPLICATION FOR THE
HISTORIC RESOURCES PRESERVATION BOARD. THREE REGULAR POSITIONS AND TWO ALTERNATE POSITIONS. THIS NOMINATION GOES TO COMMISSIONER CRUZ. >> IT'S BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION, THERE HAVE BEEN AT LEAST ONE MORE APPLICATION THAT -- WHOSE NAME IS NOT ON THE
LIST. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE SURE WE INCLUDE EVERYONE WHO HAS SUBMITTED AN APPLICATION SINCE THE LAST APPOINTMENT, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE EVERYBODY THAT WAS THERE. BECAUSE OF THAT, I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND TABLE MY APPOINTMENT.
>> MAYOR: UNDERSTOOD. >> MOTION TO TABLE. >> SECOND. >> MAYOR: ALL IN FAVOR? >> AYE. >> MAYOR: ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY NAY. MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. THERE ARE NO APPLICANTS FOR THE FOLLOWING BOARDS, WE ENCOURAGE
RESIDENTS TO APPLY IF YOU'RE INTERESTED. THE ART ADVISORY BOARD, EDUCATION AND YOUTH ADVISORY BOARD. LIBRARY BOARD, RECREATION AND PARKS BOARD AND SENIOR ADVISORY BOARD. >> CAN WE GET AN EXPLANATION ON WHY THAT ONE NAME WAS OMITTED?
WAS IT NOT ON TIME OR WHAT WAS THE REASON? >> WE WOULD HAVE TO CHECK WITH STAFF ON THAT, I DO NOT KNOW. >> DOES STAFF HAVE A RESPONSE TO THAT? >> CAN WE MAYBE BRING IT UP AT THE NEXT MEETING, FIND OUT WHY THAT PERSON WAS MISS SOMETHING.
>> OKAY. >> MAYOR: OKAY. GOOD. >> THANK YOU. >> MAYOR: NO PROBLEM. MOVING ON TO THE COMMUNITY SUPPORT FUNDS. I HAVE TWO COMMUNITY SUPPORT FUND REQUESTS EACH FOR $1,000, FOR THE PVC RESTORATION AND
INTERNATIONAL BRIDGE. MAY WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THIS REQUEST AND A SECOND. >> MOTION TO APPROVE. >> SECOND. >> MAYOR: VICE MAYOR HAY MOVED TO APPROVE THIS COMMUNITY SUPPORT, COMMISSIONER TURKIN WAS THE SECOND.
ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? >> AYE. >> MAYOR: OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. MOVING ON TO CONSENT AGENDA. IF MY COLLEAGUES WANT TO PULL ANY ITEMS FROM CONSENT, LET'S BEGIN TO MY LEFT WITH
COMMISSIONER TURKIN. >> NO, I'M GOOD. >> NO, THANK YOU, MAYOR. >> COMMISSIONER CRUZ? >> IF I COULD BRIEFLY MENTION SOMETHING THAT'S ON THERE, WITHOUT DISCUSSING. I WANTED TO MENTION 7D IS GOING
TO BE THE GULF VIEW HARBOR PAVING. I KNOW SOME ARE PROBABLY WATCHING THE MEETING, SO -- >> WE'RE ON 6. >> I APOLOGIZE. I'M GOING AHEAD. >> IT'S ALREADY BEEN A LONG NIGHT. >> MAYOR: IF THERE ARE NO
FURTHER CHANGES, MAY WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA? >> MOTION TO APPROVE. >> SECOND. >> MAYOR: ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE? >> AYE. >> MAYOR: ALL THOSE OPPOSED?
MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. MOVING ON TO 7, CONSENT BIDS AND PURCHASES. BEFORE WE ADDRESS THE CONSENT BIDS AND PURCHASES, IS THERE A MOTION TO TAKE 7A FROM THE
TABLE? >> 7A WAS PREVIOUSLY TABLED, SO WE NEED TO REMOVE FROM THE TABLE. >> MOTION TO REMOVE FROM THE TABLE. >> SECOND. >> MAYOR: COMMISSIONER CRUZ MOVED TO REMOVE IT FROM THE TABLE. COMMISSIONER TURKIN MADE THE MOTION, COMMISSIONER CRUZ THE
SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? >> AYE. >> MAYOR: OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. >> NOW YOU CAN ADDRESS 7B. >> 7D, THERE'S GOING TO BE A
PURCHASE ORDER FOR THE PAVING IN GULF VIEW HARBOR, THAT WILL BE APPROVED NOW, WE WILL BE PROVIDING UPDATES WITH REGARDS TO THE ACTUAL PAVING DATES. THANK YOU. >> ANDREW, REAL QUICK, CHAPEL
HILL'S ON HERE, RIGHT? DO WE REPUBLISH AND ADD IT TO THE AGENDA? I SEE IT, GOOD. WE'RE GOOD. >> MAYOR: IT IS ON THERE. >> I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING I WOULD LIKE TO PULL. >> I WOULD LIKE TO PULL 7K, FOR
INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES. BUT WE CAN GO AHEAD AND MOVE FORWARD WITH THE REST. >> MAYOR, I WOULD LIKE TO PULL 7X.
>> MAYOR: OKAY. COMMISSIONER KELLEY, SINCE YOU -- >> MOTION TO APPROVE AS AMENDED. >> SECOND. >> 7 AS AMENDED.
>> AND MOTION TO APPROVE. >> MAYOR: YOU MADE THE SECOND, DID YOU MAKE THE FIRST? WHO'S MAKING THE FIRST. >> I MADE THE FIRST. >> MAYOR: COMMISSIONER KELLEY, MADE THE MOTION TO APPROVE THE AGENDA AS AMENDED. COMMISSIONER TURKIN MADE THE SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? >> AYE.
>> MAYOR: OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. AND THEN WOULD YOU LIKE TO START COMMISSIONER KELLEY WITH ITEM K? >> YES, ANDREW, IF YOU COULD JUST -- OR EVEN STAFF, COME UP,
I WANTED TO BRIEFLY -- AND I GIVE KUDOS TO STAFF FOR SPEARHEADING THIS, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON FOR NOW 2 PLUS YEARS. AS MANY OF YOU KNOW, LAWRENCE
ROAD HAS BECOME ONE OF OUR MAIN THOROUGHFARES IN THE CITY, AND IT'S AN EYE STORE TO SAY THE LEAST. I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH STAFF, AND HAVE THE FULL SUPPORT OF THE COMMISSION, TO ALLOCATE FUNDS, THE LAST BUDGET CYCLE FOR THIS YEAR, TO WORK ON THOSE MEDIANS,
AND SO I THANK STAFF FOR WORKING WITH THE COUNTY. IF YOU COULD JUST QUICKLY GIVE A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF TIMING AND WHAT THIS ENTAILS. >> AS FAR AS TIMING GOES, THERE'S NINE MONTHS IN HERE FOR
DESIGN. WE'RE GOING TO -- WE SHOULD HAVE FINAL DESIGN AND START CONSTRUCTION LATE 26, IS WHAT WE'RE ANTICIPATING. AND THIS IS FOR IMPROVEMENTS BETWEEN HYPOLUXO AND GATEWAY BOULEVARD.
>> I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS TO HAPPEN, AND I WILL -- I CANNOT WAIT, MY RESIDENTS CAN'T WAIT. WE'RE EXCITED TO HAVE IT, AND I THANK STAFF FOR HANDLING THIS AND WORKING WITH THE COUNTY ON THIS. IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE -- YOU KNOW, WE -- IN THE LAST YEAR,
WE'VE PRIORITIZED BEAUTIFICATION, AND TAKING CARE OF THE CITY, AND THIS IS ANOTHER STEP IN THAT DIRECTION IN DISTRICT 4, AND WE'RE SUPER HAPPY ABOUT THIS. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH. MOTION TO APPROVE 7K. >> SECOND.
>> MAYOR: COMMISSIONER KELLEY MADE THE MOTION, COMMISSIONER CRUZ SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? >> AYE. >> MAYOR: OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. AND LET'S MOVE ON TO VICE MAYOR
HAY WITH X. >> YEAH, THE REASON I PULLED 7X, I REALLY WANT STAFF TO DISCUSS THE BENEFITS OF THIS MOVE, I KNOW THE FIGURE IS A HIGH FIGURE, BUT IT'S SPREAD OVER TEN YEARS OR SO. BUT I WANT TO -- THE STAFF TO
SHARE WITH THE PUBLIC THE BENEFITS THAT THEY -- THE CITY IS GOING TO RECEIVE BY MAKING THE SWITCH TO THE -- WHAT IS IT, WORKDAY AND SPRINT POINT? WHAT IS IT CALLED? >> SPRINT POINT.
THAT'S CLOSE ENOUGH. JUST SHARE WITH THE PUBLIC THIS -- I THINK IT'S A TREMENDOUS MOVE. BUT I WANT TO -- I WANT THE PUBLIC TO BE INFORMED. >> YES, SIR. >> THANK YOU, MAYOR, COMMISSIONERS. ALLOW ME TO TALK ABOUT THIS TOPIC TODAY.
NAME IS ALLEN LAWSON, I'M YOUR DIRECTOR OF FINANCE FOR THE CITY. ESSENTIALLY YOUR FINANCIAL OFFICER. I HAVE 30 YEARS IN FINANCE, AND PROBABLY IMPLEMENTED 12 RFPs IN MY CAREER.
THE REASON THAT'S IMPORTANT, WHEN I STARTED HERE FOUR MONTHS AGO, IT WAS EXPRESSED TO ME THE IMPORTANCE OF BETTER SYSTEMS TO HELP PEOPLE DO THEIR JOBS. LUCKILY ENOUGH, YOU GUYS HAVE ALREADY GONE DOWN THAT ROAD, AND
WITH FRED'S I.T. TEAM, THEY WERE WELL DOWN THE PATH. AND WHY IS THAT IMPORTANT? SO NEXT -- THE CLICKER, SORRY ABOUT THAT.
WHAT IS AN ERP SYSTEM, IT'S ESSENTIALLY THE BACKBONE OF YOUR ORGANIZATION. IT'S THE SOFTWARE SYSTEM THAT INTEGRATES AND MANAGES ALL THE CORE BUSINESS PROCESSES WITHIN THE CITY. SO FINANCE, HR, WAREHOUSING,
UTILITIES, ALL OF IT, IN ONE UNIFIED SYSTEM. AND THE GOAL OF THAT IS TO STREAMLINE ALL THE OPERATIONAL PROCESSES, WITH -- TO HELP WITH BETTER DECISION MAKING, AND IMPROVE EFFICIENCIES WITHIN THE
ORGANIZATION. WHAT'S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW, WHAT I FOUND IS THAT WE HAVE A FRAGMENTED ERP WITHIN THE CITY. YOU SEE THE BAND AIDS UP THERE, THERE'S A DIFFERENT SYSTEM FOR HR. THERE'S A DIFFERENT SYSTEM FOR AUDITING. >> DIFFERENT KIND. >> YEAH. THEY'RE ALL DIFFERENT.
>> GO AHEAD, GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. >> AND WHAT WE FOUND IS, THE REQUEST WHY IS, IT'S AN INTEGRATED SOLUTION. WE HAVE 9 SYSTEMS. 7 CORE SYSTEMS, 9 SUBSYSTEMS WE
CAN GO INTO ONE INTEGRATED SYSTEM WITH WORKDAY AND SPRY POINT. WE HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO HAVE POSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS WITH OUR CITIZENS. SO THAT THEY CAN SEE THE DATA THAT'S AVAILABLE ON OUR WEBSITE, IMMEDIATELY. DAY TO DAY. THAT CAN HAPPEN.
IT REDIRECTS OUR CITY LEADERS, YOU KNOW, ACTIVITIES, AND ATTENTION ON CITY POLICIES, SYSTEMS AND PROCESSES TO IMPROVE EFFICIENCIES WITHIN THE CITY. AND THEN WE HAVE A FINANCIAL
RESPONSIBILITY TO -- FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY TO ESSENTIALLY CREATE A STABLE COST ENVIRONMENT. AND WITH THIS, WE'LL HAVE STABLE COSTS OVER THE NEXT 10 YEARS, WHICH WE'LL GET TO LATER IN THE PRESENTATION. AND GO BACK. ULTIMATELY, WE NEED TO
UTILIZE -- AND WE'LL GET TO THIS TOO, AROUND APPROPRIATE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY, WHICH WE ARE NOT DOING TODAY. BUT WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FROM A BUSINESS TRANSLATION PERSPECTIVE? SO WE DO NOT. WE NEED TO ENHANCE OUR CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE WITH OUR CITIZENS IN THE CITY.
WE NEED TO ELIMINATE THE MANUAL PROCESSES, THAT I WOULD TELL YOU, WE ARE STUCK IN 1995. I AM STILL TODAY GETTING PAPER COPIES OF RECEIPTS AND INVOICES. ALL THIS NEEDS TO BE STREAMLINED AND AUTOMATED. WE NEED TO HAVE A SYSTEM THAT IS
SCALABLE. WE ARE CONSTANTLY CHANGING AS A CITY, AND WE DO NOT HAVE SYSTEMS IN PLACE TODAY TO HANDLE THE GROWTH THAT WE ARE TRYING TO DO HERE. >> THE BIG PIECE, I THINK YOU WANT TO GET TO THIS, IT'S
TALKING ABOUT THE A.I. COMPONENT THAT EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT. AND WORKDAY IS PROUD TO HAVE THAT IN THEIR SOFTWARE -- THEY'RE LEADING IN THAT, THEY INVEST A SIGNIFICANT PORTION UP TO 36% OF WHAT THEY'RE DOING, THEIR COST IS GOING INTO A.I.
DEVELOPMENT FOR THAT FUTURE GROWTH, FOR THE SCALEABILITY OF THE CITY. WHAT I'D LIKE TO DO NEXT IS BRING UP BOTH ANTHONY GARCIA, AND JOE WALTERS FROM WORKDAY AND SPRY POINT, FOR A MINUTE OR SO, TALK ABOUT WORKDAY, AND WHAT THE
VALUES HAVE WITHIN -- >> GOOD EVENING, EVERYBODY. MY NAME IS ANTHONY GARCIA, I'M WITH WORKDAY. PART OF OUR GOVERNMENT PRACTICE. THANK YOU FOR HAVING US TODAY. A COUPLE WORDS I WANT TO SAY, IF YOU VOTE FOR THIS, AND YOU APPROVE IT, YOU'RE GOING TO BE
JOINING OUR WORKDAY COMMUNITY THAT'S VERY VIBRANT. THEY'RE DOING A LOT OF TRANSFORMATION IN THE ORGANIZATION, LIKE MR. LAWSON SAID. REALLY MOVING FORWARD IN THE FUTURE, WITH TECHNOLOGY. YOU'LL
BE JOINING OVER 200 ENTITIES, CITY OF ORLANDO, CITY OF SARASOTA, WE HAVE OTHER COUNTIES AS WELL. I WANT TO LEAVE YOU WITH THREE THOUGHTS HERE. I CALL THEM THE THREE Vs. THE FIRST V IS YOU HAVE A VISION. AND I HEARD THAT THROUGHOUT THIS. YOU HAVE A VISION, YOU HAVE A VISION. WE ALIGN TO THAT.
WE WILL SUPPORT THAT. WE ARE GOING TO BE THE BACK END OF THAT ERP THAT'S GOING TO HELP YOU GET TO THAT NEXT LEVEL IN YOUR VISION -- IN YOUR MISSION. THE SECOND V IS VALUE, AND VALUE IS PROBABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IF YOU'RE GOING TO APPROVE ANYTHING, IS WHAT VALUE ARE WE
GOING TO GET AS A CITY. AND MR. LAWSON'S GOING TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT IN HIS PRESENTATION ABOUT THE VALUE. BUT THE LAST V, WHICH IS PROBABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE, IS VALIDATION. AFTER YOU GO LIVE, I WANT TO COMMIT TO YOU, I WANT TO COME BACK HERE IN TWO YEARS, AND DO VALIDATION WITH YOU AND SAY,
HERE IS WHERE YOU WERE IN 2025, HERE'S WHERE YOU ARE IN 2027. HERE IS ALL THE EFFICIENCIES YOU GAINED, BOTH FROM A PEOPLE, FROM A FINANCIAL, FROM PROCUREMENT, EVERYTHING WITHIN THE CITY. I WANT TO COMMIT THAT TO YOU FROM A WORKDAY PERSPECTIVE. I DO WANT TO DO THAT, AND I HOPE
YOU APPROVE THIS ITEM. >> WE'RE GOING HOLD YOU TO THAT. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU. >> GOOD EVENING, MY NAME IS JIM WALTERS. I'M AN ENTERPRISE ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE WITH SPRY POINT. JUST TO ECHO ON ANTHONY'S COMMENTS, SPRY POINT IS THE LEADING BEST OF BREED UTILITY
PLATFORM. OUR LOGO IS SMART SOLUTIONS FOR SMART UTILITIES. WE'D LOVE TO BRING THE CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH ONTO OUR PLATFORM. WE HAVE OVER 100 CLIENTS, SOME OF THOSE IN FLORIDA, INCLUDE CITY OF FORT LAUDERDALE, CLAY COUNTY, WE ALSO HAVE BONITA
SPRINGS, FORT PIERCE, SEVERAL OTHERS. SO WITH REGARDS TO WHAT, YOU KNOW, THE FUTURE HOLDS, WE'RE REALLY TRYING TO BRING IN CUSTOMER ENGAGEMENT. A LOT OF THE UTILITY PLATFORMS OF PAST, YOU REALLY INTERACT WITH YOUR UTILITY ONCE A MONTH, AND THAT'S WHEN YOU GET A BILL.
WITH THIS NEW TECHNOLOGY, YOU'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO USE OMNI CHANNEL COMMUNICATIONS RECEIVING TEXT MESSAGES, E-MAILS, OUTBOUND VOICE MAIL, MEET THE CUSTOMER WHERE THEY'RE AT, INFORM THEM WHERE THERE'S A PROBLEM IN ADVANCE, BE PROACTIVE WITH YOUR COMMUNICATIONS. THOSE ARE JUST SOME OF THE
BENEFITS YOU'RE GOING TO RECEIVE BY MOVING AHEAD WITH THE SPRY POINT SOLUTION. THANK YOU. >> ONE LAST QUESTION FOR ME IS THAT I KNOW THIS, THIS IS A HUGE PROJECT, AND IT'S GOING TO BE PROBABLY PHASED IN.
WHAT IS THE FIRST AREA THAT YOU'RE GOING TO FOCUS ON FOR THE CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH? >> CAN YOU SLIDE ME THAT?
ALL RIGHT. SO THE ERP TIMELINE IS, IT'S A TWO-YEAR PHASED PROJECT. AFTER TODAY, REALLY WHAT'S GOING TO START HAPPENING IS IMMEDIATELY IT'S THE DATA COMPONENT BEGINNING TO PULL ALL THE DATA OUT OF THESE NINE SEPARATE SYSTEMS. THAT IS SOME PRETTY HEAVY
LIFTING THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AND THEN WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO STHART THE IMPLEMENTATION ONCE THE DATA HAS BEEN CLEANSED AND WE'RE ABLE TO FACILITATE IT INTO THE NEW SYSTEMS. OCTOBER 1st WILL BE THE START DATE THAT WE START WITH FINANCE, SO PHASE 1 IS THE FINANCE PIECE OF THAT.
AND THE LEDGER AND THINGS LIKE THAT, AND THEN AS WELL AS THE UTILITY SIDE. THERE'S TWO SIDES. WE HAVE THE UTILITY DATA SET AS WELL AS THE ORGANIZATION CORE DATA SET THAT WILL START THAT. >> THANK YOU. THANK YOU. >> OKAY. AND THEN THE PHASE 2 IS GOING TO
BE STARTING SOMETIME MID-NEXT YEAR IS THE HR COMPONENT, RIGHT? THE HTM SYSTEM, HTM UP THERE BUT IT'S HR, AND THAT IS PAYROLL AND THEN THAT'LL TAKE PHASE IN THE FINAL COMPONENT, WHICH WE'RE STILL WORKING OUT IS WHETHER OR NOT WE CAN ACTUALLY STREAMLINE THE BUDGET MODULE AT THE SAME
TIME WE'RE DOING FINANCE, BUT AS YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN A PART OF THE BUDGET PROCESS, IT'S VERY, IT'S HUGE. AND I'M, WE'RE LOOKING AT WHETHER OR NOT WE CAN DO BOTH AT THE SAME TIME WITH THE CURRENT STAFF THAT WE HAVE IN PLACE. SO WE'RE TRYING TO FIGURE THAT OUT, MAYBE WE CAN SLIDE IT FORWARD AND GET IT DONE A LITTLE
BIT QUICKER THAN TWO YEARS, I'M NOT SO SURE THAT CAN HAPPEN. >> WELL IT'S GOING TO COST -- US ABILITY A MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR OVER 10 YEARS ROUGHLY? >> SO WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS I'LL GET INTO THE ACT. SO YOU'RE LOOKING AT TODAY, IF I
WERE TO TAKE THE COST OF ALL NINE SYSTEMS, OKAY, THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT SOME OF THEM EXPIRE AND I'VE GOT TO RENEGOTIATE THE CONTRACTS, RIGHT? THE COSTS ARE ACTUALLY GOING UP. BUT FOR RIGHT NOW, IF I WERE TO TAKE THAT COST, IT'S ROUGHLY $11 MILLION FOR THE CURRENT
SYSTEMS NETWORK THAT WE HAVE IN PLACE. THE CONTRACT THAT WE HAVE IS ESSENTIALLY THE SAME MONEY WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION IT'S $11 MILLION WITH WORKDAY AND SPRY POINT. THAT'S GUARANTEED. SO OVER THE NEXT, YEAR ONE AND-YEAR TWO, IS REALLY THE
IMPLEMENTATION, AND THE SUBSTRIPGZ, AND -- SUBSCRIPTION RATE $11.4 MILLION. AND WE'LL BE SPENDING THAT REGARDLESS OF WHAT SYSTEM. THAT WE DO. ACTUALLY WE'LL PROBABLY SPEND A LOT MORE IF WE GET OUR CURRENT
STATE BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BRING IN -- WE'RE GROWING. THERE ARE THINGS THAT ALREADY WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO START CHANGING SOFTWARE AND BRINGING IN MORE SOFTWARE THAT THEY CAN ALREADY DO. WE'RE GETTING BEST IN CLASS WITH WORK DAY AND BEST IN CLASS WITH SPRY POINT. >> BUT IN THE LONG RUN, AS I HAVE THIS PHRASE IT WILL PAY FOR
ITSELF. >> IT WILL PAY FOR ITSELF. >> THAT ALWAYS BRINGS A CHUCKLE OUT OF MY WIFE BECAUSE I SAY THAT PHRASE ARE THE TIME -- ALL THE TIME. SHE DOESN'T BELIEVE IT THEN EITHER, BUT THANK YOU. >> YEAH.
SO REALLY AND YOU'RE LOOKING AT, SO WE'RE LOOKING AT THE FINANCIAL OPERATIONAL EXPECTATIONS, RIGHT? WE ARE THE BUDGETING PROCESS IS MASSIVE. WE'RE LOOKING AT A 60% REDUCTION, RIGHT? AND I THINK, AND I THINK WE COULD EVEN IMPROVE UPON THE
REDUCTION IN OUT OF POLICY SPEND, BECAUSE THINGS ARE HAPPENING SO FAST WITH PROJECTS AND EVENTS WE DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT WE'RE SPENDING BECAUSE WE'RE MOVING AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT AND THE SYSTEMS ARE JUST TOO SLOW TO CATCH UP. AND SO SOMETIMES WE'RE A LITTLE BIT AHEAD OF OURS OURSELVES
WHEN IT COMES TO COST CONTROL SO THIS W WILL ELIMINATE A LOT OF THAT BECAUSE IT'S IN REALTIME. >> THOSE ARE THE 9 SYSTEMS YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT? >> YES. >> DOLLAR WON'T -- THERE WON'T BE ANYMORE CAPITAL OUT LAY FOR THOSE SYSTEMS, RIGHT? >> NO, THEY WILL, WE WILL PHASE
THEM OUT OVER TIME. THEY CAN K BE COMPLETELY GONE IN TWO YEARS. >> BEAUTIFUL. >> SOME OF THEM WILL BE GONE AFTER ONE YEAR. >> VERY GOOD. >> MOST OF THEM WILL BE GONE IN ONE YEAR. >> ANY OTHER COMMENTS FROM MY COLLEAGUES. >> JUST WANTED TO SAY THIS IS A
POSITIVE CHANGE TO, ENHANCING OUR ACCOUNTABILITY AND EFFICIENCY WITHIN THE CITY AND YOU KNOW JUST INCREASING COMMUNICATION WITH OUR CONSTITUENTS. THAT'S IT. JUST MOTION TO APPROVE IF -- THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, ALAN. THANK YOU, EVERYONE WHO CAME.
>> MAYOR: COMMISSIONER CRUZ MADE A MOTION TO APPROVE, COMMISSIONER TURKIN MADE A SECOND. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. ALL THOSE OPPOSED SAY NAY. MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. SO WE ARE NOW -- WE HAVE TWO PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS. >> JUST ONE. >> WE JUST WENT OVER 8B SO WE
ONLY HAVE ONE. WE HAVE ONE PUBLIC HEARING ITEM, PUBLIC COMMENT WILL BE PERMITTED ON THIS ITEM. I WILL TURN TO THE CITY CLERK TO READ 8A INTO THE RECORD AND WE CAN STAFF BEGIN THE
PRESENTATION. >> PROPOSED ORDINANCE 25-010 FIRST READING AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING CODE OF ORDINANCES PART 3 LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS CHAPTER 2 LAND DEVELOPMENT PROCESS, ARTICLE VI IMPACT AND SELECTED FEES, AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE
DATE. >> THANK YOU, AMANDA RADIGAN, THIS IS ONE OF THE SIMPLEST CODE AMENDMENTS I HAVE EVER PROCESSED. WE ARE CHANGING ONE WORD. THIS IS TO DO WITH THE MOBILITY FEES. WE HAD INITIALLY DRAFTED THAT THESE WOULD BE APPLICABLE TO
PERMITS THAT ARE SUBMITTED ON A DATE VERSUS ISSUED ON A DATE. ALL OF OUR OTHER FEES ARE BASED ON WHEN PERMITS ARE ISSUED, NOT SUBMITTED, SO THIS IS LARGELY ADMINISTRATIVE TO STREAMLINE THE ADMINISTRATION OF THESE FEES.
>> ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FROM STAFF ON THIS? >> IS IT FIRST READING? >> FIRST READING? >> SINCE THIS IS A PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD ITEM, THAT
NEEDS TO HAVE TWO PUBLIC COMMENTS. >> SO PUBLIC COMMENT HAS BEEN PERMITTED AT THIS TIME WITH EACH PERSON HAVING THREE MINUTES IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK, PLEASE COME ON DOWN. >> NO? IF THERE IS NOTHING ELSE, MAY WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE
PROPOSED ORDINANCE NUMBER 25-009 ON THE FIRST READING. >> SO MOVED. >> SECOND. >> VICE MAYOR MADE THE MOTION TO APPROVE, COMMISSIONER KELLY MADE THE SECOND. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. >> I'M SORRY, ROLL CALL VOTE, PLEASE. >> OH, ROLL CALL VOTE.
OKAY. TAMMY, THAT'S ALL YOU. >> ALL YOU, TAMMY. >>> COMMISSIONER KELLY. >> YES. >> COMMISSIONER TURKIN. >> -- COMMISSIONER CRUZ. >> YES.
>> VICE MAYOR HAY. >> YES. >> MAYOR SHELTON. >> MAYOR: YES. >> VOTE PASSES 4- 3-0. NO, 4-0. I'M SORRY. >> WE'RE ALL OUT OF IT. >> MAYOR: OKAY, WE'VE ALREADY TAKEN CARE OF 8B, SO WE CAN NOW MOVE ONTO 9.
THERE IS NO CITY MANAGER REPORT, SO 10 WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ONTO REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS. THE FIRST ITEM IS RESOLUTION NUMBER R25-137, AMENDING THE ADOPTED COMPREHENSIVE FEE SCHEDULE FOR THE RECREATION AND PARKS DIVISION FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024-2025.
BEFORE WE ADDRESS THE ITEM, IS THERE A MOTION TO TAKE THE ITEM FROM THE TABLE. >> SO MOVED. >> SECOND. >> COMMISSIONER KELLY MADE A MOTION TO REMOVE IT FROM THE TABLE, VICE MAYOR HAY SECONDED. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. ALL THOSE OPPOSED SAY NAY.
MOTION PASSED 4--0 OR 4-0. CAN WE PLEASE HAVE STAFF BEGIN THEIR PRESENTATION? >> GOOD EVENING, TED, COMPLIANCE MANAGER. PARKING SERVICES DIVISION.
SO I'M COMING BACK HERE TO GIVE A RECAP OF WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT LAST MEETING ON JUNE 3rd, AND PRUPROPOSE SOME NEW CHANGES -- PROPOSE SOME NEW CHANGES WE HAVE RECEIVED FROM FEEDBACK FROM THE COMMISSION. SO IN OUR LAST MEETING WE TALKED
ABOUT THE CITATION FEE INCREASE OF $40 AND THAT'S BECAUSE AGAIN THE DAILY MAX IS AT $35. THE CITATION'S AT 25 SO IT'S EASY FOR ANY PARKER TO JUST TAKE THE CITATION AT $25 VERSUS PAYING THE ACTUAL FEE.
FOR OUR NEW PROCESSING FEE OF $10, THO WHAT THAT WOULD DO ESSENTIALLY IS IF THERE IS A USER ERROR YOU INPUT A ZERO INSTEAD OF A AN O OR YOU
HAVE MULTIPLE LICENSE PLATES ON YOUR PARK MOBILE APP AND YOU PAY FOR THE WRONG ONE, THEN WE WOULD INSTEAD OF CHARGING YOU $40 FEE WE WOULD THEN HAVE YOU PAY A $10 PROCESSING FEE. WE ALSO HAVE THE HOURLY RATE THAT WOULD LIKE TO BE INCREASED
TO 350 FROM $250. SO AGAIN, THE FEE ONLY WENT UP ONCE IN OCTOF 23, WHEN WE WENT FROM 150 TO 250. AND OF COURSE WE IN THE CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH HAVE APPROXIMATELY
3300 VETERANS IN OUR COMMUNITY SO WE WOULD LOVE TO PRESENT THEM WITH A MILITARY VETERAN ANNUAL PAZ AT $50. AND HAVE THEM TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE HERE ARE THE NEW
RECOMMENDED. SO CURRENTLY SPEAKING, OUR BOAT RAMP FEES ARE AT $200. THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES ARE MUCH LOWER THAN THAT. SO WE HAVE LANTANA APPROXIMATELY
$52, OTHER COMMUNITIES, LAKE WORTH IS AT I BELIEVE 73 SO IT MAKES MORE SENSE, STAFF IS RECOMMENDING FOR US TO DECREASE OUR FEES FROM 200 DOWN TO $100. ALSO THE SECOND PIECE THAT WE'D
LIKE TO DO IS NONRESIDENT ANNUAL BEACH PASS TO INCREASE IT FROM 200 TO $250. ONE MORE THING THAT I WANTED TO
TALK ABOUT IS THAT OUT OF $1700 PERMITS SOLD THIS YEAR, 65% OF THOSE PERMITS SOLD ARE TO OUR SENIOR RESIDENTS. SO THEY ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THAT PROGRAM OF OUR SYSTEM. SO YOU KNOW THERE'S SOMETHING
THAT WE WOULD LIKE IT INCREASE. WE WOULD LIKE TO PROMOTE AND ADVERTISE MORE SO WE CAN HAVE MORE OF OUR SENIORS, MORE OF OUR RESIDENTS TO TAKE PART OF THE, YOU KNOW, $65 FOR RESIDENTS AND $50 FOR SENIOR RESIDENTS.
AND THAT IS IT. I'LL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE. >> I AM GOOD. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, COMMISSIONER TURKIN? >> NOPE, I JUST URGE MY COLLEAGUES TO SUPPORT THIS. I KNOW DURING COVID, FOR ME, THE BOAT RAMP FEES WERE INCREASED
AND THERE IS A LOT OF PUSHBACK AND THERE WAS NOECT TO SPEAK -- NO ABILITY TO SPEAK AGAINST THAT BECAUSE OF WHAT THE WORLD WAS GOING THROUGH AT THAT TIME SO I'M GLAD TO SEE WE'RE TAKING THIS BACK TO PRE-COVID, PRE-COVID RATES, AND SO YEAH, NOTHING ELSE FROM ME AND I'LL
MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE. >> I'LL SECOND IT FOR DISCUSSION. >> YEAH, GO. >> DURING OUR REVIEW OR MEETING
THAT WE HAD REGARDING THIS ITEM, WE HAD, YOU KNOW, I HAD A CONVERSATION ABOUT POTENTIALLY ADDING SOME SPECIFIC PARKING SPACES. ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT I ASKED WAS YOU KNOW HOW MANY
TOTAL PARKING SPACES DO WE HAVE IN THE OCEANFRONT PARK? DO YOU RECALL THAT NUMBER BY ANY CHANCE? >> CORRECT, RIGHT NOW I BELIEVE IT'S 258 PARKING SPACES. >> 258. >> MY CONCERN, AND I'M JUST GOING TO BE REAL HERE, WE'RE
ADDING NEW CATEGORIES, WHICH ARE VERY POSITIVE CATEGORIES. BUT THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT FIT INTO THOSE CATEGORIES ARE GOING TO BE MASSIVE. SO WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IS WE HAVE 225 SPACES AT THIS TIME. WE'RE DECREASING, WE'RE CREATING
A NEW CATEGORY, WHICH IS, IT'S GOOD, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, IT'S GOING TO ADD A LOT MORE CARS AND IT'S GOING TO POTENTIALLY DECREASE REVENUE IN THE LONG-TERM, WHICH HAS A DISPARATE IMPACT OF INCREASING THE COST
FOR OUR SENIOR CITIZENS. LIKE MY CONSTITUENTS AND MANY OF YOUR CONSTITUENTS AS WELL. SO THAT'S ONE THING THAT I HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF CONCERN WITH. I KNOW WE USED TO BE AT I THINK $150 AN HOUR IF I RECALL CORRECTLY. LAST YEAR WE BROUGHT IT UP TO $250.
I WOULD -- >> SO IT WENT FROM $250 AN HOUR ON OCTOBER OF 2023. >> LAST YEAR IT WENT UP TO $250? >> TWO YEARS AGO. >> TWO YEARS AGO. >> CORRECT. YES. >> NOW WE'RE LOOKING AT $350, YEAH. SO I DO SEE WE'RE TAKING CARE OF
CERTAIN POPULATIONS, BUT ARE WE, ARE WE POTENTIALLY CREATING AN INCREASE TO OUR CONSTITUENTS AND THEN ONE MORE THING THAT I WANTED TO ASK IS I KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT A FEW ITEMS, BUT I
KNOW IT WAS LIKE CREATING A FEW PARKING SPACES SPECIFIC TO PASSHOLDERS, AND IMRFS WONDERING IF THAT WAS SOMETHING WE COULD DO -- I WAS WONDERING IF THAT WAS SOMETHING WE COULD DO. BUT IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE,
YOU KNOW, SOME PARKING SPACES THAT ARE SPECIFICALLY DESIGNATED FOR PASSHOLDERS SO THAT WHEN YOU DO GO TO THE BEACH AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A RESULT OF PEOPLE THERE, -- WE'RE GOING TO HAVE LOT OF PEOPLE THERE SO THERE IS POTENTIALLY FOR AT LEAST 15
OF THEM TO HAVE A SECURE SPOT. >> I CAN SPEAK TO THAT, MAYOR. THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WAS BROUGHT UP AT MULTIPLE PEOPLE ON THE COMMISSION, SO THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT POTENTIALLY PILOTING THAT, AND CREATING SOME NUMBER OF SPACES AT THE TOP. MY ONE HESITANT CONCERN THERE WAS YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT OF
DEMAND FOR THOSE SPACES, BUT IN TALKING WITH I THINK THERE IS A PATH FORWARD WITH THAT. WE'LL LOOK AT POTENTIALLY DOING 10% OF THE PARKING SPACES THERE. SOME UP TOP AND THEN SOME AT THE BOTTOM SO I DON'T NEED YOU GUYS TO WEIGH IN ON THAT PARTICULAR ITEM. THAT'S AN ADMINISTRATIVE THING THAT WE'LL DO, BUT THAT IS
SOMETHING THAT I'LL WORK WITH TED AND THE GROUP AND WE'LL SEE ABOUT ACCOMPLISHING THAT. I KNOW THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF REQUESTS FOR THAT. IT'S VERY SIMILAR TO THEY DO THAT IN LAKE WORTH SO WE'RE GOING TO ACCOMPLISH THAT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND I'LL DEFINITELY REPORT BACK TO YOU VISUALLY. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH AND THE OTHER THING WE DISCUSSED WAS
JUST KNOWING, THINKING ABOUT THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT COULD FIT INTO CERTAIN CATEGORIES, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING THAT I HAD THOUGHT ABOUT IS IF WE MAKE IT A CATEGORY FOR LIKE DISABLED VETERANS SPECIFICALLY, BUT I DON'T WANT TO OPEN A CAN OF WORMS, SO JUST GOING TO LET IT BE BUT IT'S SOMETHING TO THINK
ABOUT BECAUSE -- >> JUST SO YOU KNOW THE DISABLED VETERANS ACTUALLY ARE EXEMPT SO THEY COULD ACTUALLY PARK. >> FOR FREE? >> YES, YES, THEY CAN PARK IN A DISABLED HANDICAP SPACE AND THEY ACTUALLY ARE FREE. IT'S IN STATE STATUTE, SO WE'RE GOOD ON THAT ACTUALLY. >> OKAY. >> SO I'M GLAD YOU BROUGHT IT UP THOUGH BECAUSE WE ARE HONORING THAT. >> YES. >> WELL, YES, THANK YOU.
ANY DISABLED PERSON WOULD BE FREE USH CORRECT? BUT THERE IS A CERTAIN NUMBER OF SPACES? >> JUST VETERANS. THIS IS AN EXCLUSION FOR DISABLED VETERANS IN STATE STATUTE THAT WE DO HONOR HERE. >> GOOD. GOOD. WELL, THAT'S GOOD TO KNOW. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. >> YOU HAVE ABOUT 3300 --
>> APPROXIMATELY. >> 3300, YEAH. OKAY. >> OKAY. ARE WE STILL GOOD? >> YEP. >> MAYOR: SO WE HAVE COMMISSIONER TURKIN WHO MADE THE MOTION, AND WE HAVE VICE MAYOR WHO MADE THE SECOND MOTION. >> SORRY. LAST THING. >> MAYOR: GO AHEAD.
>> CAN WE REMOVE -- I KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT IT DURING THE MEETING, BUT CAN WE REMOVE THE MINIMUM TIME? I THINK IT WASN'T DISCUSSED HERE TODAY, SO ARE JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WAS THE CASE. THERE IS A MINIMUM OF TWO HOURS FOR PARKING AT THE BEACH. I WANTED TO REMOVE THAT OVERREGULATION OF IT AND JUST LIKE LET PEOPLE PARK, YOU KNOW,
AS LONG AS THEY WANTED TO PARK. AT OCEAN FRONT. >> WELL, SO AT OCEAN FRONT, THE AVERAGE -- >> POINT OF ORDER. >> SORRY. I THINK THAT WOULD TAKE CONSENSUS FROM THE DAIS IF WE WANTED THAT CHANGE, AND THAT WOULD BE AN AMENDMENT TO THE MOTION THAT'S RONT TABLE NOW. -- ON THE TABLE NOW. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I REST
WHERE MY MOTION IS AS IT SITS. >> GREAT. >> IF THERE IS NO MOTION TO AMEND -- OR NO MOTION TO AMEND THE MOTION OR NO PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE MOTION, THEN THERE NEEDS TO BE A VOTE ON THE MOTION.
>> MAYOR: NEEDS TO BE A VOTE ON THE -- SO WE HAVE A MOTION, AND WE HAVE A SECOND. >> WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE. >> I WANTED TO CLARITY. SO DO WE HAVE A TWO-HOUR MINIMUM FOR THE PARKING AT THE BEACH AND WE'RE INCREASING PRICE. >> YES. >> OKAY. >> IF I MAY, SO THE AVERAGE STAY
AT THE BEACH CURRENTLY RIGHT NOW IS TWO HOURS AND 9 MINUTES. SO PEOPLE STAY THERE A MINIMUM OF TWO HOURS. SO THE ISSUE BECOMES IF WE REMOVE THAT, THEY'LL GET A CITATION FOR $40, AND WHEN WE
KNOW FOR SURE THAT THEY'LL DO THEIR BEST TO STAY THERE AT LEAST TWO HOURS. SO THAT'S WHY, IN OUR SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES, HAVE THAT TWO-HOUR MINIMUM AS WELL. FROM PALM BEACH COUNTY DOWN TO
BROWARD AND MIAMI-DADE. >> OKAY. >> MAYOR: OKAY. COMMISSIONER TURKIN MADE A MOTION TO APPROVE RESOLUTION NUMBER R25-195. VICE MAYOR HAY MADE THE SECOND MOTION. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. ALL THOSE OPPOSED SAY NAY.
AND THE MOTION PASSES 4-1. >> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. >> MAYOR: I WOULD LIKE TO ADD ONE THINK IF THE BOARD. >> 10B. >> 10B.
>> CHARTER COMMITTEE. >> PROPOSED RESOLUTION R25-195. >> HANG ON. I GOT IT. I GOT IT. I GOT IT. >> OKAY. 10B. THE NEXT RESOLUTION IS R25-195 WHICH WOULD ALLOW FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A CHARTER
REVIEW COMMITTEE. CAN WE HAVE STAFF PLEASE PRESENT THEIR, TO BEGIN THEIR PRESENTATION. >> SHASHAWN AW LAMB, CITY ATTORNEY. >> WE'VE HEARD DIRECTION FROM THIS COMMISSION TO HAVE SACHARTER REVIEW COMMITTEE -- TO HAVE A CHARTER REVIEW COMMITTEE,
SO THIS RESOLUTION GIVES EACH MEMBER OF THE COMMISSION THE ABILITY TO PICK A PERSON. YOU WILL SEND ME THE NAME OF THAT PERSON FOR THE CLERK TO VERIFY ALL OF THEM. THERE ARE CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS THAT THEY HAVE LIVED IN THE CITY AT LEAST A YEAR AND ARE ABLE,
THAT ARE REGISTERED TO VOTE. ONCE THAT A IS VERIFIED, THEN WE WILL SUBMIT THE COMMITTEE TO THE COMMISSION ON AUGUST 5th. ON AUGUST 5th THAT SAME MEETING, THE COMMISSION WILL GIVE THEM DIRECTION, TO WHICH ITEMS THEY WOULD KIND OF LIKE THEM TO LOOK AT, BUT THE CHARTER
REVIEW COMMITTEE DOES ALSO HAVE THE ABILITY TO LOOK AT OTHER ISSUES OR OTHER CHARTERS PROVISIONS. AND THEN THEY WILL HAVE REGULAR MEETINGS THAT WILL BE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC TO DISCUSS THAT. ON OCTOBER 21st, IT IS A SHORT
TIME FRAME, SO ON OCTOBER 21st, THEY WILL COME BACK TO THE COMMISSION WITH THEIR PROPOSED CHANGES, AND THEN AFTER THAT, THERE WILL HAVE TO BE AN ORDINANCE WITH REGARD TO WHICH CHANGES ARE TO BE MADE AND THE REFERENDUM HAS TO BE SENT TO THE SUPERVISOR OF ELECTIONS BY DECEMBER 7th.
WE HAVE A VERY SHORT TIME FRAME ON THIS ONE. MY RECOMMENDATION GOING FORWARD IS THAT PERHAPS IN MAYBE NOVEMBER OR DECEMBER, WE CONSIDER MAKING AN ORDINANCE THAT REQUIRES A CHARTER REVIEW COMMITTEE EVERY FIVE, SEVEN, TEN YEARS, WHATEVER THIS BOARD
DESIRES. AND THEN ON JANUARY 1, WE EITHER CARRY OVER THE EXISTING MEMBERS TO CONTINUE TO DO A FULL CHARTER REVIEW OF THE ENTIRE CHARTER NOT JUST SPECIFIC ITEMS THAT THE COMMISSION DESIRES OR THAT THEY
THINK IS IN NEED OF BEING CHANGED IMMEDIATELY. TO DO THE FULL, WE'RE JUST NOT GOING TO HAVE TIME TO DO A FULL CHARTER REVIEW AT THIS TIME. SO THAT WOULD BE MY RECOMMENDATION THAT IN JANUARY, WE EITHER PICK A NEW REVIEW COMMITTEE OR THIS ONE, THEY'LL
HAVE A YEAR AND THEN POTENTIALLY GO FOR THE NEXT ELECTION. >> THANK YOU, MAYOR. THANK YOU, CITY ATTORNEY. JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS COMMITTEE DOES HAVE THE ABILITY TO REVIEW THE CHARTER AND THAT THEY'LL
HAVE SOMEONE FROM YOUR STAFF AT THESE MEETINGS FOR REFERENCE OR ANY CLARIFICATION IF NEEDED BECAUSE WHAT'S IMPORTANT FOR ME IS THAT THIS BOARD OPERATES WITHOUT RESTRICTION, AND YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT OF HISTORICAL KNOWLEDGE IN THE
CITY, YOU KNOW, AND SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME UP WITH IDEAS AND PRESENT THEM VERSUS THE COMMISSION YES I AGREE, YOU KNOW WE CAN MAYBE LOOK AT SOME MACRO LEVEL STUFF, BUT ULTIMATELY, WITH ANY ADVISORY
BOARD OR COMMITTEE, YOU WANT THOSE EXPERTISE, YOU WANT THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS TO COME FROM THE GROUND UP. >> THAT'S CORRECT. >> SO I WANT -- SO THIS DOES ALLOW FOR -- >> BUT IN ORDER TO PRESENT A RECOMMENDATION TO THE
COMMISSION, THERE HAS TO BE A MAJORITY VOTE OF THE CHARTER REVIEW COMMITTEE TO BRING IT FORWARD. >> OKAY. >> SO THEY CAN CONSIDER ANY ITEMS BUT IT HAS TO BE A MAJORITY VOTE OF THEM IN ORDER TO PRESENT IT AS YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS THE FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE COMMISSION. >> UNDERSTOOD.
THANK YOU. >> MAYOR, IF I MAY. SHAWN AW, OR STAFF, I AM CURE -- SHAWN AW OR STAFF I'M CURIOUS HOW STAFF WILL BE INVOLVED IN THIS PROCESS.
THERE ARE A LOT OF DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS, A LOT OF DIFFERENT AREAS THAT WOULD HAVE A LOT OF RECOMMENDATIONS OR YOU KNOW HAVE NOTICED THINGS THAT AREN'T WORKING OR NEED TO BE CHANGED OR UPDATED. SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT DOESN'T JUST BECOME YOU KNOW ONE STAFF MEMBER THAT'S THE LIAISON
AND THEN WE'RE NOT INCLUDING YOU KNOW, OTHER STAFF THAT SO I WANTED TO KIND OF SPEAK IN OPEN ABOUT YOU KNOW REALLY WANTING THAT TRANSPARENCY WITH STAFF, ESPECIALLY YOU KNOW IN PARTICULAR OUR STAFF MEMBERS WHO HAVE BEEN HERE FOR MANY YEARS
AND HAVE SEEN THE CHANGES TO THE CHA CHARTER AND WHAT HAS WORKED AND WHAT HASN'T WORKED AND IT MAY NOT BE SOMETHING THAT I KNOW ABOUT OR SOMEONE ELSE ON THE BOARD OR ANOTHER STAFF MEMBER OR JUST SOMEBODY IN THE GENERAL PUBLIC, SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT STAFF IS REALLY INVOLVED IN THIS PROCESS AS WELL AND I UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S A
SHORT TIME FRAME, BUT WHETHER THAT BE THAT STAFF SUBMITS YOU KNOW CHARTERS FOR REVIEW OR HOWEVER THAT LOOKS WITH THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS OR THEIR THOUGHTS, BUT I WOULD TO KNOW KIND OF WHAT'S YOUR THOUGHT ON THAT AND -- >> SURE. THE WAY THIS RESOLUTION IS WRITTEN, SO TYPICALLY IF WE HAD
MORE TIME, THERE WOULD BE TYPICALLY RECOMMENDATIONS COULD BE FROM THE PUBLIC, THE COMMISSION, THE CITY MANAGER, OR THE CITY ATTORNEY. THIS ONE BECAUSE OF THE TIME FRAME, IT'S A LITTLE BIT NARROWER BECAUSE WE LITERALLY HAVE TWO MONTHS TO MAKE
RECOMMENDATIONS. NORMALLY IT WOULD TAKE A YEAR. THAT'S WHY I WAS SAYING OKAY, LET'S GO WITH THE SHORTER ONE THIS TIME, AND THEN IN JANUARY, WE START A FULL BLOWN CHARTER REVIEW. HOWEVER, I WILL SAY THEIR MEETINGS OF THE CHARTER REVIEW
COMMITTEE WILL BE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC SO ANYBODY WHO'S WANTING TO MAKE PUBLIC COMMENT CAN CERTAINLY COME MAKE PUBLIC COMMENT, WHETHER THAT BE A STAFF MEMBER OR ANYONE, A CITY ATTORNEY, EITHER MYSELF OR SOMEONE FROM MY OFFICE WILL BE PRESENT, AND THEN THE CLERK WILL ALSO BE PRESENT BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO POST THE NOTICES, AND DO
THE MINUTES AND THOSE SORTS OF THINGS. BUT AGAIN, IT IS GOING TO BE REALLY KIND OF A QUICK TIME CRUNCH, AND I THINK INITIALLY THIS WAS BROUGHT UP TO ADDRESS SOME OF THE COMMISSION'S CONCERNS WITH RESIDENTS WHO
REQUIRE -- AND THOSE SORTS OF THINGS. SO I DON'T KNOW THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO GET TO EVERY SINGLE THING THIS TIME, BUT AGAIN I DO THINK OVERALL GOOD PRACTICE IS TO HAVE A STANDING ORDINANCE WHICH REQUIRES THE CHARTER BE REVIEWED THAT BY EVERY, YOU
KNOW, FIVE TO SEVEN YEARS. >> RIGHT. >> AND THAT TYPICALLY THAT TIME FRAME THEY'LL HAVE A WHOLE YEAR TO TAKE PUBLIC COMMENT TO DO ALL OF THOSE THINGS TO DO TOWN HALLS AND GET ALL OF THAT FEEDBACK BEFORE THE RECOMMENDATIONS ARE MADE TO THE COMMISSION. >> OKAY. GREAT. THANK YOU. YEAH I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE
THAT YOU KNOW FOR THE RECORD THAT I EXPECT THAT STAFF TO BE INVOLVED IN THIS PROCESS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. >> OKAY. >> THANK YOU. >> ANY OTHER COMMENTS VICE MAYOR HAY? >> ON THIS PARTICULAR SUBJECT OR ANY? >> THIS PARTICULAR SUBJECT. >> NO. >> OKAY. >> MAYOR: COMMISSIONER CRUZ?
[LAUGHTER] >> I DO HAVE -- YOU KNOW, THINKING ON A PRINCIPLE, RIGHT, THAT THE CHARTER OF THE CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH IS OUR CONSTITUTIONAL DOCUMENT, I THINK THAT IT'S IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE CITY OF THE RESIDENTS TO TAKE OUR TIME AND TO DO IT WELL THE FIRST TIME.
I DON'T KNOW IF RUSHING IT IN TWO MONTHS FOR SPECIFIC ITEMS IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF OUR RESIDENTS. I HAVE A LITTLE CONCERN WITH THAT. I DON'T THINK THAT WE SHOULD BE RUSHING. I UNDERSTAND THE DESIRE TO REVIEW THE CHARTER AND I AGREE, I THINK EVERY SO MANY YEARS WE SHOULD BE REVIEWING IT.
BUT WE SHOULD BE DOING IT IN A HOLISTIC WAY WHERE WE REVIEW THE ENTIRETY OF THE DOCUMENT AS A WHOLE, AND WE DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME. BUT THAT'S IT. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. >> JUST FOR CLARIFICATION. THIS IS AN ONGOING COMMITTEE, THIS COMMITTEE IS NOT GOING TO
SUNSET AFTER OCTOBER, AND MY UNDERSTANDING IS FOR OCTOBER, IF THERE ARE ELECTIONS IN MARCH, THAT WOULD, THAT'S WHY THERE'S THIS RUSH BECAUSE IF THERE WAS SUGGESTION FROM THIS COMMITTEE TO PUT ANYTHING ON REFERENDUM FOR THE BALLOT, GREAT. THERE MAY NOT BE ELECTIONS IN
MARCH. THERE IS POTENTIALLY MAYBE OPPOSITION, RIGHT? AND SO THEN EITHER WAY, REGARDLESS OF WHAT'S PROPOSED, WOULD HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE NOVEMBER 2026 BALLOT IN THEORY IF THERE WAS NO CITY ELECTIONS,
SO YOU KNOW, THIS IS AN ONGOING THING. I DEFINITELY HEAR YOUR CONCERN. YOU KNOW WE'VE TALKED ABOUT INVERIFICATION OF RESIDENCY -- THE VERIFICATION OF RESIDENCY AS WE'VE SEEN FLY BY NIGHT HAVEN'T SEEN ANYONE AROUND RECENTLY, AND SO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT, YOU KNOW, FOR ME, THAT ITEM IS SEPARATE FROM THIS.
I WANT, IF THERE IS ELECTIONS, I WANT THE RESIDENTS TO VOTE ON A LEGAL REQUIREMENT OF VERIFICATION OF RESIDENCY THAT IS IMPORTANT, AND I THINK THAT WE'LL PASS WITH A GREAT AMOUNT. AND SO I DEFINITELY UNDERSTAND
YOUR CONCERN, COMMISSIONER CRUZ, AND I DEFINITELY AGREE WITH DOING THIS HOLISTICALLY. IT'S JUST WE HAVE TO START SOMEWHERE, RIGHT? WE DON'T WANT TO PROCRASTINATE. WE DON'T WANT TO PING-PONG, AND I THINK THIS IS A GOOD WAY TO GET STARTED AND LET THIS BE
CONTINUOUS, RIGHT? THIS ISN'T JUST HEY, LET'S HAVE THIS COMMITTEE. NO, LET'S CONTINUE THIS AND LET THIS BE SOMETHING THAT IS A CHANGE AGENT FOR THE CITY IN THE FUTURE. RIGHT? >> I JUST HAVE HAVE ONE QUESTION. >> I'M SORRY, ONE POINT OF
CLARIFICATION. IT DOES, THE WAY THIS IS WRITTEN, IT IS, THIS COMMITTEE IS SET TO ADJOURN AFTER, IN OCTOBER ONCE THEY MAKE THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS. >> OKAY, I'M NOT GOING TO GO FOR THAT. >> OKAY. BUT THEN WE DISCUSSED HAVING AN
ORDINANCE WHICH WOULD CREATE ANOTHER ONE, BUT I COULD CHANGE THE LANGUAGE IN THE CURRENT ORDINANCE THAT THEY DO NOT ADJOURN. >> YES, PLEASE. >> TO DO, OKAY, SO I CAN CHANGE THE -- I CAN CHANGE THE LANGUAGE NOW IN A RESOLUTION THAT SAYS, AND THEN IN JANUARY THEY WILL DO
A FULL REVIEW OF THE CHARTER BEGIN A FULL REVIEW. MY ONLY THING IS I THINK FOR BEST PRACTICES, WE DO IT SOME POINT I STRONGLY RECOMMEND TO THE CITY THAT YOU HAVE A STANDING ORDINANCE REQUIRING IT BECAUSE THE LAST TIME THIS WAS
DONE IN THIS CITY WAS IN 2011. >> RIDICULOUS. >> SO LET'S, YOU KNOW, IF THERE IS CONSENSUS, I'LL PROPOSE WE TAKE A RECOMMENDATION OF AMENDING THE LANGUAGE, AND THEN IN THAT TIME, WE WILL DEVELOP AN ORDINANCE AS WELL, AND THIS COMMITTEE WILL CONTINUE TO BE LONG-STANDING AND NOTJOURN.
>> WELL, AND THEY MAY NOT, I MEAN, WE WOULD HOPE THAT THEY HAVE RECOMMENDATIONS AND THEY AGREE, BUT AS THE CITY ATTORNEY SAID, THEY HAVE TO ALSO AGREE ON WHAT THEY BRING BACK TO US. SO THEY MAY NOT HAVE ANYTHING BY OCTOBER AND SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SOMETHING THAT MAY NOT EVEN BE AN ISSUE, AND WE MAY
HAVE THIS CONTINUE, BUT THE CHARTER IS GOING TO, IT'S A LIVING, BREATHING THING, IT'S FOREVER, IT SHOULD FOREVER BE CHANGING AS, AS THE NATURE OF THE CITY CHANGES. SO IT'S A -- IT'S A LIVING -- IT HAS BEEN DEAD FOR A LONG TIME,
BUT IT'S REALLY SUPPOSED TO BE A LIVING, BREATHING DOCUMENT THAT IS CHANGING WITH, WITH THE TIMES, AND SO I THINK WE NEED TO GET BACK IN THE HABIT OF UPDATING THE CHARTER WITH THE TIMES AND NOT LET IT DIE AND THEN WE'RE HERE TRYING TO RESURRECT IT.
SO I'M -- JUST ONE POINT QUICK QUESTION THEN. SO SINCE WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IT WE TALKED ABOUT DRAFTING A RESOLUTION, HOW OFTEN DO YOU THINK IS APPROPRIATE FOR THE CHARTER TO BE REVIEWED? EVERY FIVE? >> FIVE. >> FIVE YEARS. >> LOOK AT HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE MOVED HERE IN THE LAST FIVE
YEARS. >> EVERY FIVE YEARS. >> DYNAMICVISE CHANGED GREATLY EVEN IROCCUPY POP -- IN OUR POPULATION. >> SO IF WE DO THIS IN 2026 THE NEXT ONE WILL HAVE TO BE CREATED IP2031. >> CORRECT. >> THAT'S WHAT I'M -- SO USUALLY THE RESOLUTION SAYS CHARTER
REVIEW COMMITTEE WILL BE CREATED EVERY FIVE YEARS. SO. >> BUT WE'RE CREATING IT IN 25 FOR 26 TECHNICALLY. SO IT WOULD BE CREATED IN 2030 FOR 31, RIGHT? >> ALL RIGHT, WELL,. >> IF WE'RE GOING TO BE
ORDINANCE, BUT I'LL FIGURE OUT LANGUAGE. >> RIGHT. OKAY. >> I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION. TWO QUESTIONS. CAN YOU GIVE US A DETAIL AS TO WHAT THE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS ARE FOR APPOINTEES OF THE CHARTER REVIEW COMMITTEE AND YOU'RE SAYING THAT EACH COMMISSIONER
GETS ONE OR MAYOR ALSO. AND THEN I KNOW YOU MENTIONED THAT TO BE AN ELECTOR AND I KNOW IT'S ON THE RESOLUTION BUT I JUST WANT YOU TO SAY IT FOR THE RECORD. >> I ACTUALLY HAVE TO PULL UP THE REST OF THE CHARTER REAL QUICK. I APOLOGIZE. >> IN THE BACK, ON THE COVER PAGE IT SAYS MEMBERSHIP AND IT
LISTS AT LEAST THREE NOMINATIONS AND -- >> RIGHT, SO THERE ARE CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS THAT WE WANT PEOPLE WITH EITHER ATTORNEYS OR FORMER COMMISSION MEMBERS, AND OTHER AT LEAST THREE OF THEM HAVE TO BE HIGHER LEVEL.
I'M SORRY, DON'T HAVE THE RESOLUTION DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME. >> DO YOU WANT ME TO READ IT. >> AT LEAST THREE OF THE NOMINATIONS MADE BY THE CITY COMMISSION SHOULD BE FROM THE FOLLOWING PROFESSIONS, ATTORNEYS, INDIVIDUALS WITH CURRENT PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE IN COUNTY OR CITY GOVERNMENT
EXPERIENCE, HISTORIANS, PUBLIC FINANCE PROFESSIONALS,. >> THEY ALSO HAVE TO BE ELECTORS, CORRECT? REGISTERED TO VOTE. >> CORRECT. >> IN THE CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH. >> AND REGISTERED. >> WANTED TO CLARIFY FOR THE RECORD. >> THAT IS CORRECT AND REGISTERED TO VOTE AND ALSO HAVE LIVED HERE AT LEAST ONE YEAR. >> LIVED IN THE CITY AT LEAST ONE YEAR.
THANK YOU. >> I'LL REVERIFY THAT. >> NOW THAT'S THE THING THOUGH, CLERK, THAT'S WHY WHEN I NEED YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS OR YOUR WHO YOU WANT TO APPOINT, I WILL GIVE THAT TO THE CLERK TO VERIFY SCHTHEN WE WILL RATIFY THOADZ ELECTIONS -- THEN WE WILL RATIFY THOSE ELECTION ON AUGUST 5th.
>> THANK YOU AND THEN THE NEXT QUESTION IS, IF SINCE WE'RE CONTINUING THAT COMMITTEE AND NOT LETTING IT DIE PER SE, IN DECEMBER, THEN DOES THAT MEAN THAT THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS GET TO STAY OR IS THE COMMISSION ABLE TO SWITCH THE MEMBER AT ANY
TIME OR MAKE CHANGES TO IT? >> SO AIF YOU CHOOSE TO LEAVE THE SAME PEOPLE, THEN THAT'S WHY I WAS SAYING IT WASN'T ADJOURN. IF YOU WANT -- IT WOULDN'T -- BASICALLY ADJOURN. I HAD IT SO THAT IT WOULD ADJOURN SO THAT YOU WOULD HAVE THE ABILITY TO POTENTIALLY PICK
NEW PEOPLE IF YOU WANTED TO. AND THEN PICK A NEW COMMITTEE AFTER WE DO THE ORDINANCE. WHICH COULD BE THE SAME PEOPLE. OR NOT. BUT THAT'S KIND OF WHAT I ENVISIONED BULLET I WILL DO WHATEVER YOU CHOOSE. >> RIGHT SO THAT WAS MY QUESTION. ARE WE, I GUESS WE CAN DO
WHATEVER WE WANT TECHNICALLY ON ON -- ON A POLICY SIDE BUT ARE WE TECHNNICALLY ABLE, CAN WE SAY I WANT TO SWITCH MY MEMBER 72 I DO NOT HAVE THAT WRITTEN IN THERE AT THIS TIME. I HAVE IT WRITTEN IN THERE THAT
IF THEY LEAVE FOR SOME REASON, THEN WHATEVER DISTRICT THEY'RE IN THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO APPOINT SOMEONE ELSE, BUT I DO NOT HAVE LANGUAGE IN THERE THAT THE BOARD HAS THE RIGHT TO REMOVE A PERSON. I WOULD ENVISION WE MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THAT IN AN ORDINANCE BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO
BE A LONGER STANDING. THIS ONE IS SO SHORT TERM I DON'T, I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS NECESSARY TO PUT THAT LANGUAGE IN THERE. >> OKAY, THANK YOU. >> SO JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, THEN, DO WE WANT TO LET THIS CHARTER REVIEW COMMITTEE ADJOURN
AT THE END OF THIS, WHICH WOULD BE AFTER OCTOBER. >> CONTINUE. >> CONTINUE. >> OR CONTINUE THE SAME PEOPLE. >> CONTINUE. >> OKAY. BUT UNDERSTAND THEN OUR ORDINANCE WE MAY HAVE TO ADDRESS SITUATIONS WHERE MAYBE THE VOTE OF THE BOARD COULD POTENTIALLY
REMOVE A CERTAIN MEMBER, CERTAIN, FOR EXAMPLE. >> WE HAVE TIME FOR THAT. >> YEAH, YOU WILL. FOR THE OTHER ONE. FOR EXAMPLE IF YOU HAD SOMEONE ARRESTED IF A FELONY, RIGHT, YOU MIGHT WANT TO REMOVE THEM FROM YOUR CHARTER REVIEW COMMITTEE. OR ATTENDANCE. >> I THINK IT SHOULD BE IN THE PURVIEW OF THE APPOINTOR SO
WHOEVER IS APPOINTING SOMEONE 1458 HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO APPOINT, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN LIKE I THINK IT DEPENDS ON THE CONSENSUS. >> WE CAN TALK ABOUT WITH THE ORDINANCE. I WILL SEE WHAT OTHER CITIES ARE DOING AND THEN GIVE MY BEST RECOMMEND AILINGSES.
>> WHAT DO YOU NEED AS FAR AS A MOTION GO WITH PROPOSED CHANGES. >>> SO AT THIS TIME I WOULD NEED A MOTION TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION AS AMENDED TO INCLUDE THAT THE COMMITTEE DOES NOT ADJOURN IN OCTOBER 20 OR DOES NOT ASWRRB AT THE CONCLUSION OF
THIS WILL -- ADJOURN AT THE CONCLUSION OF THIS AND WILL CONTINUE INTO 2026. >> SO MOVED. >> SECOND. >> COMMISSIONER TURKIN MADE A MOTION TO APPROVE EVERYTHING SHAWNA JUST SAID. [LAUGHTER] AND COMMISSIONER KELLY MADE A SECOND. ALL OF THOSE IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. ALL THOSE OPPOSED SAY NAY.
MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. SO FOR FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS I WOULD LIKE TO ADD TWO THINGS. I WOULD LIKE TO ADD RESIDENTIAL PARKING STANDARDS FOR US TO START REVIEWING, AND TACKLE THAT BIG ISSUE. AND ALSO TO HAVE A DISCUSSION ON INCREASING THE CITY MANAGER
PROCUREMENT LIMIT TO $75,000 FOR SERVICES, SO IF WE CAN ADD THAT, THAT WOULD BE GREAT. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY FINAL COMMENTS FOR TONIGHT? >> YES, MAYOR. JUST REAL QUICK. I HAD CORRESPONDENCE WITH CHIEF REGARDING POTENTIAL SHOT SPOTTER
EXPANSION TO GO SOUTH OF BOYNTON BEACH BOULEVARD. IT IS NOT IN THE BUDGET. I THINK IT'S A $14,000 ANNUAL COST, WE NEED IT. >> YES, WE DO. >> SO I WOULD LIKE THAT TO BE PROPOSED. ANDREW IF YOU GUYS CAN BRING THAT BEFORE US NEXT TIME WE
DISCUSS SO THAT WE CAN MAKE A GENERAL CONSENSUS ON THAT ITEM. >> YES. >>> AGREE WITH YOU THERE. >> ONE LAST COMMENT FOR ME. >> YES, SIR. >> YOU KNOW WE HAVE PERIODICALLY WE HAVE THIS GUY CALLED LAU WHO
COME IN HERE AND TELL US TO COME UP WITH STRATEGIC PLANNING AND WHAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT CHOOSE TWO FROM THE LEFT TWO FROM THE RIGHT UP AND DOWN ALL OF THAT. BUT I NEVER SEE ANY UPDATE ON THE RESULTS OF HIS VISITS. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW ARE WE
WASTING OUR MONEY, ARE WE ACTUALLY DOING IT? IS IT ON THE SHELF COLLECTING DUST? WHAT IS THE RESULTS OF ALL THE TIME AND WORKSHOPS THAT WE SPEND WITH THIS GUY CALLED LYLE AND WHERE ARE WE GOING WITH THIS? SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO TRY TO
ANSWER THAT TONIGHT, BUT I CERTAINLY WANT YOU TO ANSWER THE NEXT TIME WE MEET. >> YOU WANT IT AS A DISCUSSION IN THE FUTURE AGENDA OR YOU WANT IT. >> WELL, IF YOU WANT TO ADDRESS IT, THEN, AND 25 WORDS OR LESS,
YOU CAN DO IT NOW. >> I CAN. SO IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE'RE WORKING TOWARDS BRINGING BACK SOME KIND OF REGIMENTED UPDATE TO THE COMMISSION ON STATUS OF PROJECTS TO STATUS OF THE STRATEGIC PLAN. WE ARE LOOKING AT TRANSITIONING INTO A DIFFERENT FORMAT THROUGH
THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT SIDE OF THE PLANNING SIDE. THEY ARE LOOKING TO TAKE ON THE STRATEGIC PLANNING COMPONENT OF THIS AND BRING IT IN HOUSE SO WE'RE LOOKING TO STOP UTILIZING OUTSIDE CONSPT LTS BRINGING IN HOUSE AND HAVING A LITTLE BIT MORE CROALT AND THEN WE'LL DEFINITELY DO WHAT YOU'RE ASKING, WHICH IS BRINGING MORE
REGULARLY OR QUARTERLY UPDATES SO THE COMMISSION KNOWS HOW WE'RE DOING ON THEIR STRATEGIC ITEMS. THAT'S TWO MINUTES. >> OKAY. OKAY. THAT'S. >> OKAY. THAT'S A GOOD READER PIDIGEST REPORT. >> WE'VE DISCUSSED THIS PLENTY
OF TIMES. >> WE HAVE AN AMAZING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TEAM, AND IF THEY'RE READY TO SPEARED HAD THIS, I'M ALL FOR THAT BECAUSE THEY ARE ROCK STARS. SO. >> ALL RIGHT, I DO WANT TO MAKE ONE QUICK COMMENT BECAUSE THIS IS PROBABLY THE ONLY WAY THAT I CAN COMMUNICATE THIS TO ALL OF YOU. AND I THINK IT'S RELEVANT TO ALL THE COMMISSIONERS AS WELL AS THE
MAYOR. IT'S BEEN BROUGHT UP TO MY ATTENTION FROM ONE OF MY CONSTITUENTS THAT THERE HAS BEEN ISSUES WITH BULK TRASH PICK-UP, AND FINES WITH REGARD TO THAT. THERE IS LIKE A WHOLE HOST ON NEXTDOOR. I'VE GOTTEN MESSAGES FROM, YOU KNOW, FROM RESIDENTS, SO IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN, I WOULD
LIKE TO ADDRESS HERE AND I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN TALK ABOUT OFFLINE OR. >> AS IN PEOPLE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT OR THEY ARE HAVING A PROBLEM WITH BULK. WHAT ARE THE SPECIFICS? >> SO WHAT I'VE BEEN SEEING AND SOME OF IT WAS IN YOUR DISTRICT ALSO. >> -- >> IT'S, TRUST ME --
>> BUT THERE'S, BUT IT WAS BROUGHT UP TO MY TEAXZ FROM SOMEBODY IN MY DISTRICT. SO IT'S CLEARLY IT'S AN ISSUE EVERYWHERE. SO APPARENTLY IF THERE IS BULK PICK-UP ON LET'S SAY X DAY, AND IT WASN'T PICKED UP, THEN PEOPLE
ARE GETTING A FINE FOR THAT, AND I SAW IT IN DISTRICT 4 AS WELL. LOOKINGDOOR, JUST SEARCH IT. YOU'LL SEE IT. BUT I WOULD -- >> THE CITY DIDN'T PICK SOMETHING UP THEN THEY SHOULD NOT -- BUT THAT DID NOT HAPPEN IN OUR DISTRICT. >> WE HAVE RESIDENTS THAT DROP
OFF ON THE WRONG DAY AND THEN IF IS THE LEAVE IT ON THE WRONG DAY THEN THEY GET FINED BECAUSE THEY'RE PUTTING IT OUT AND IT QUANTITY SIT OUT FOR FOUR OR FIVE DAYS. >> IF YOU WANT A COUCH, GO OUT TO DISTRICT 3. >> I KNOW THE CITY HAD AN ISSUE ON FRIDAY AND THEY DIDN'T PICK UP AND THEY CAME OUT THE NEXT DAY. >> SOME PEOPLE WERE COMPLAINING ON FRIDAY.
OBVIOUSLY IT WAS A HA HOLIDAY SO THERE IS ALSO THAT. BUT I DID -- >> SO THEY DID WORK ON THE 4th, WHICH REALLY SHOCKED ME BUT KUDOS TO THE STAFF ON THAT. BUT YOU KNOW I THINK THE ONE THING THAT WE DO HAVE IS WE HAVE A LEGAL DUMPING HAPPENING IN EACH DISTRICT SO I ENCOURAGE ALL
RESIDENTS TO GET SOME CAMERAS, BECAUSE IF THE STUFF'S GOING TO BE ON THEIR PROPERTY UNFORTUNATELY WE CAN'T SAY AND WE'RE DEALING WITH THAT RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET WITH BOYNTON VILLAS IS THEY'RE SAYING THAT PEOPLE ARE JUST DUMPING COUCHES THERE, AND THAT'S NOT REALLY THE CASE WE KNOW IT'S THE TENANTS AND THEY'RE REFUSING TO PUT UP CAMERAS AND IF YOU DON'T WANT TO PUT UP CAMERAS YOU CAN'T PROVE
THAT IT WASN'T HAPPENING IT'S ON YOUR PROPERTY YOU ARE GETTING A FINE. >> I DON'T KNOW. >> SO MULTIPLE FRONTS ON THIS. I THINK THERE'S AN EDUCATION COMPONENT. I DO THINK WE ALSO HAVE A CODE REWRITE THAT'S GOING TO BE COMING DOWN THE PIPE. SO THIS IS DEFINITELY A TIMELY CONVERSATION IT'S DEFINITELY ON
THE FOREFRONT OF A LOT OF STAFFS' MINDS SO I THINK WHAT I'LL DO IS WE'LL COME UP WITH SOME STRATEGIES AND BRING YOU BACK A DISCUSSION ITEM. WITH SOME IDEAS ON HOW WE'RE GOING TO IMPROVE AND HELP IN THAT AREA. >> YEAH SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT I'VE NOTICED IN DISTRICT 4 IN
PARTICULAR IN DISTRICT 4 IS THEY PUT TOO MUCH DEBRIS OUT TOO BIG OF A PILE, THEN THEY GET A NOTIFICATION OR THEY PUT IT OUT ON THE WRONG DAY, AND SO BUT IT DOES, IT COMES DOWN TO EDUCATION AND AS SOON AS I PASS IT ONTO
STAFF, THEY EDUCATE AND HANDLE IT AND IT'S TAKEN CARE OF SO OUR STAFF IS AMAZING AT HANDLING RESIDENT CONCERNS AND ISSUES, AND SO THAT'S MY GO-TO. SO. >> ANYTIME WE CAN TALK ABOUT BULK TRASH, I'M THERE. >>> YOU KNOW I'M GOING TO GET 2350EURED UP.
I'LL STAT -- FIRED UP. I'LL STAY H TILL MIDNIGHT TO TALK ABOUT BULK TRASH. >> I HAVE PICTURES ON MY PHONE FROM THIS MORNING. >> GY OTHER COMMENTS OR -- ANY OTHER COMMENTS. >> ANDREW, I SPOKE WITH THE CITY MANAGER AND MAYBE ADAM SINCE HE SAW ME.
I UNDERSTAND THAT FLORIDA DOGE IS LOOKING AT BOYNTON BEACH. AND SO I WOULD JUST. >> ALL OF THEM. >> MULTIPLE MUNICIPALITIES BUT I DO UNDERSTAND WE RECEIVED CORRESPONDENTS FROM THE FLORIDA DOGE TEAM, SO I DO WANT TO BE KEPT UPDATED AS WE MOVE ALONG. I THINK THIS IS A GOOD THING,
IT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO LOOK AND SEE WHERE WE CAN SAVE, WHERE WE HAVE CONSOLIDATE AND BE EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT FOR THE TAXPAYERS AND SO JUST WANT TO SEE BOTH AT A MICRO AND MACRO LEVEL WHAT KIND OF RECOMMENDATIONS THEY HAVE TO WHERE WE CAN, YOU KNOW, ELIMINATE, SLIM UP SOME WASTE,
SOME MORE EFFICIENCIES, THINGS LIKE THAT. >> YEAH. >> MOTION TO ADJOURN. >> DO WE HAVE A SECOND? O. >> MAYOR: OKAY. COMMISSIONER TURKIN MOVED TO MOTION TO ADJOURN, I'M GETTING THERE, AND VICE MAYOR. >> YEAH,. >> I'M READY. >> WE WILL ALL THOSE IN FAVOR
SAY AYE.
