>> GOOD EVENING, EVERYBODY, AND WELCOME TO THE CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH CITY COMMISSION MEETING. TODAY IS TUESDAY JUNE 18th AND THE TIME IS 6:00 P.M. BEFORE I CONTINUE ANY FURTHER, I'D LIKE TO REMIND EVERYONE OF OUR RULES OF CIVILITY AND DECORUM. SPEAKERS MUST BE ADDRESSED BY THE CHAIR AND NOT INTERRUPT ANY OTHER SPEAKERS. SPEAKERS SHOULD BE CIVIL AND COURTEOUS IN THEIR LANGUAGE AND PRESENTATION. THEY SHOULD AVOID INSULTS OR PERSONAL ATTACKS. DISRUPTIONS WILL NOT BE TOLERATED AND YOU'LL BE ASKED TO LEAVE SHOULD YOU VIOLATE THESE RULES. WE WILL NOW TURN TO THE CITY CLERK FOR THE ROLL CALL. >> MAYOR PENSERGA IS ABSENT. VICE MAYOR KELLEY. >> HERE. >> COMMISSIONER CRUZ. >> HERE. >> COMMISSIONER HAY. >> HERE. >> COMMISSIONER TURKIN. >> PRESENT. >> VICE MAYOR, YOU HAVE A QUORUM. >> THANK YOU. DO WE HAVE PASTOR BENDER HERE? THERE HE IS IN THE BACK. OUR INVOCATION IS LED BY PASTOR BOB BENDER AND THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE LED BY COMMISSIONER HAY. LET'S STAND FOR THE INVOCATION AND THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE. >> HEAVENLY FATHER, WE THANK YOU THAT WE HAVE BREATH IN OUR BODY TODAY, THAT WE HAVE THE GIFT OF LIFE AND THAT YOU HAVE GIVEN US THIS OPPORTUNITY TO EXTEND YOUR LOVE TO OUR NEIGHBORS AND TO OUR COMMUNITY. WE PRAY THAT YOU WOULD GIVE WISDOM AND DISCERNMENT TO ALL THOSE IN LEADERSHIP AND POSITIONS OF AUTHORITY OF ALL KINDS, THAT YOU WOULD CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO REFILL AND STRENGTHEN THEIR HEARTS AND THEIR MINDS AND THAT YOU WOULD CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO PROTECT OUR CITY. MAY WE BE KNOWN FOR OUR LOVE AND OUR COMMUNITY. MAY YOU CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO TEACH US YOUR WAYS. WE PRAY FOR STRENGTH AND WE SAY THANK YOU, LORD, FOR THOSE THAT SERVE IN IN POSITIONS THAT MANY TIMES DON'T RECEIVE GRATITUDE. THEY DO IT FOR THE GOOD OF OTHERS. MAY YOU CONTINUE TO TEACH US WHAT IT IS TO BE FAITHFUL LIKE YOU. OUR COMMUNITY, THE CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH, NEEDS MORE AND MORE OF YOUR STRENGTH, YOUR GUIDANCE AND YOUR PRESENCE. AND WE THANK YOU AGAIN THAT WE HAVE LIFE TODAY AND CAN CHOOSE YOUR WAY. WE ASK YOUR BLESSING AND ANOINTING IN JESUS' NAME, AMEN. >> Group: I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS ONE NATION UNDER GOD INDIVISIBLE WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL. >> THANK YOU, EVERYONE. THANK YOU, PASTOR BENDER. WE ARE MOVING TO ADDITIONS, DELETIONS AND CORRECTIONS. LEGAL, I UNDERSTAND YOU HAVE AN ITEM. >> YES, WE HAVE AN ITEM THAT HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE CONSENT AGENDA. IT'S RESOLUTION 24-138 RELATING TO ALLOWING THE CITY MANAGER TO SIGN A RIGHT OF ENTRY AND RELEASE RELATING TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, USING CERTAIN PROPERTY FOR S.W.A.T. TRAINING. >> OKAY. SO WE'RE GOING TO ADD THAT TO 6Q. THANK YOU. LET'S BEGIN ON MY LEFT WITH COMMISSIONER TURKIN. DO YOU HAVE ANY ADDITIONS, DELETIONS OR CORRECTIONS TO THE AGENDA? >> THE ONLY THING, I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS A DISCUSSION ITEM OR WHAT I CAN PROPOSE FOR THE NEXT BUDGET WORKSHOP. WE HAVE BEEN TALKING TO A LOT OF THE OFFICERS, ALL RANKS THROUGHOUT THE ORGANIZATION AND I'VE SEEN IT MYSELF. WE HAVE A REALTIME CRIME CENTER, RIGHT. WE HAVE INVESTED A BOAT LOAD OF MONEY INTO ADVANCING OUR TECHNOLOGY INTO THIS REALTIME CRIME CENTER. THE ISSUE IS IT'S NOT VERY WELL MANNED. I KNOW WE HAVE A MANNING ISSUE IN THE ORGANIZATION NOW. I KNOW WE'RE CATCHING UP AND DOING A GOOD JOB. AND SO, YOU KNOW, WHAT I'D LIKE SUPPORT ON FROM MY COLLEAGUES IS TO START FUNDING A UNIT FOR THIS REALTIME CRIME CENTER BECAUSE IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE, YOU KNOW, NOT JUST FOR MYSELF BUT FOR THE TAXPAYERS TO INVEST ALL THIS MONEY IN TECHNOLOGY IN THIS REALTIME CRIME CENTER IF WE DON'T HAVE THE MANNING APPROPRIATE FOR IT. IT'S JUST SITTING THERE. I DON'T WANT TO SAY GOING TO WASTE BUT NOT BEING UTILIZED TO FULL CAPACITY. I WOULD PERSONALLY LIKE TO SEE IF THE POLICE CHIEF COULD BRING SOMETHING FORWARD AND AT LEAST STARTING. I KNOW THAT WE CAN'T NECESSARILY FUND THIS IN ONE BUDGET CYCLE YEAR, BUT MAYBE LOOKING AT GET THIS FULLY FUNDED AND STAFFED FOR FISCAL YEAR '25 OR '26, WHATEVER IS THE MOST FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE WAY TO DO THAT. BUT I DON'T WANT A REALTIME CRIME CENTER NOT BEING UTILIZED. SO I WOULD ASK MY COLLEAGUES TO SUPPORT THAT. MAYBE WE CAN GET SOME MORE INFORMATION AT ANOTHER MEETING OR AT THE BUDGET WORKSHOP. >> YEAH. I MEAN MY SUGGESTION WOULD BE THAT SHOULD BE PART OF -- ANDREW, THAT WOULD BE PART OF BUDGET WORKSHOPS AND THAT MAYBE THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN ADD. COMMISSIONER, ARE YOU SAYING THAT IT'S SOMETHING YOU WANT TO SEE BUDGETED IN THE FUTURE SO THAT IT'S A LINE ITEM LIKE WE HAVE DONE PREVIOUSLY? WHERE WE HAVE ALLOCATED FOR POSITIONS SO THAT MOVING FORWARD, WE HAVE THOSE ALLOCATIONS BUT IT'S NOT NECESSARILY SOMETHING THAT YOU ARE ANTICIPATING TO AFFECT THE CURRENT BUDGET. >> CORRECT, CORRECT, CORRECT. >> DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY OBJECTION TO THAT BEING ADDED AS AN ITEM FOR UPCOMING BUDGET WORKSHOPS? >> I WOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THAT WITH THE PROPER INFORMATION, SO WE CAN MAKE THAT DECISION. BECAUSE I DO AGREE WITH YOU, BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE APPROACH IT CORRECTLY. >> ABSOLUTELY. >> YEAH. SO, ANDREW, YOU'LL GET WITH THE POLICE CHIEF AND DETERMINE WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE AND BE READY FOR BUDGET WORKSHOPS? >> YES, WE CAN WORK WITH THE POLICE CHIEF AND GET YOU A SUMMARY OR WHITE PAPER IN ADVANCE OF THE BUDGET WORKSHOP SO WHEN YOU COME YOU CAN BE INFORMED AND MAKE SOME DECISIONS. WE DO THAT IN ADVANCE AND SPEAK ABOUT IT AT THE BUDGET WORKSHOP. >> AWESOME, THANK YOU. AND THEN THE OTHER THING IS WHERE ARE WE AT WITH THE STRATEGIC PLAN UPDATES? I KNOW WE ARE SHRINKING THAT DOWN. WE'RE GETTING INTO THE BUDGET WORKSHOP. I THINK HOW WE'RE GOING TO BUDGET IS A LOT BASED ON THE STRATEGIC PLAN. SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE NOT SHOOTING BLINDFOLDED HERE. >> THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER TURKIN. WE ARE ACTUALLY COORDINATING WITH THE CONSULTANT. HIS SCHEDULING -- HE'S GOT A LOT OF CLIENTS SO HIS SCHEDULING IS NOT AS AVAILABLE AS WE WOULD PREFER. BUT WE ARE WORKING ON SCHEDULING OVER THE NEXT TWO MONTHS THE FOLLOW-UP MEETINGS THAT YOU ALL HAD REQUESTED INDIVIDUALLY AND THEN ALSO THE PUBLIC WORKSHOPS. ONE WILL BE VIRTUAL AND THEN THERE WILL BE AN ADOPTION AT A PUBLIC MEETING. >> OKAY. >> THAT SHOULD TAKE PLACE IN JULY AND AUGUST AS LONG AS SCHEDULING ALLOWS. >> OKAY. >> I KNOW IT'S NOT A DIRECT ANSWER, SORRY. >> I THINK THE IDEA IS TO ESSENTIALLY HAVE THE STRATEGIC PLAN GOING INTO OUR BUDGET WORKSHOP SO MAYBE WE -- I KNOW WE'RE GOING TO DISCUSS THAT BUDGET WORKSHOP AND THOSE DATES LATER IN THIS MEETING. SO MAYBE WE COME BACK TO THAT CONVERSATION WHEN WE GET TO THAT ITEM. >> YEAH. COMMISSIONER, THANKS FOR BRINGING THAT UP. I KNOW I HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH STAFF ABOUT THAT, TOO. AND THAT IS A CONCERN -- GOING INTO BUDGET WITHOUT A STRATEGIC PLAN. BUT SCHEDULES ARE WHAT THEY ARE SOMETIMES. BUT, STAFF, IF YOU CAN -- KATHRYN, STUCK UPDATE US, EVEN IF IT IS INDIVIDUALLY AS FAR AS -- I CAN'T SEE YOU, BUT I KNOW YOU'RE THERE. AS FAR AS WHEN WE CAN ANTICIPATE HAVING THOSE MEETINGS. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I HAD MENTIONED TO STAFF WAS ALSO HAVING A VIRTUAL PUBLIC MEETING ASPECT OF THAT TO POOL WHAT WAS DISCUSSED DURING THE COMMISSION MEETING IN THAT AGENDA ITEM, THAT THE PUBLIC HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEE KIND OF THE FINAL DRAFT BEFORE IT IS PRESENTED TO US IN A FINAL DRAFT. SO ALONG WITH THOSE INDIVIDUAL COMMISSION MEETINGS, I WOULD LIKE A VIRTUAL OPTION FOR THE PUBLIC TO HAVE ONE LAST OPPORTUNITY TO SEE HOW THOSE CHANGES LOOK AND TO GET ANY INPUT FROM THEM BEFORE THE FINAL IS DRAFTED. SO I KNOW THAT PUTS A WRENCH IN IT, BUT THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE HAVE THAT ASPECT OF IT, TOO. >> I'M SORRY. >> WHEN CAN WE -- CAN WE AT THE NEXT COMMISSION MEETING -- I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A TIME CERTAIN DATE AS TO WHEN WE CAN EXPECT IT SO THAT IT DOESN'T JUST KEEP FALLING UNDER FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS AND GETS LOST IN THE SHUFFLE. SO IF WE COULD PLEASE GET A TIME CERTAIN DATE OF WHEN WE CAN EXPECT TO HAVE THOSE MEETINGS, I KNOW THAT OUR SCHEDULES ARE A LITTLE CRAZY. BUT IF WE'RE DOING THEM VIRTUALLY, WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO SQUEEZE THEM IN PRETTY QUICK. >> ABSOLUTELY. SO THE DATES THAT THE CONSULTANT IS PROPOSING ARE TO MEET WITH YOU ALL INDIVIDUALLY OVER THE PHONE JULY 15th THROUGH THE 21st AND HE'LL BE COORDINATING WITH YOU INDIVIDUALLY ON THAT. AND THEN WE'LL HAVE ANOTHER MANAGEMENT SESSION WITH THE DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE-LEVEL STAFF THE WEEK OF JULY 22nd. AND THEN THE INTENTION IS TO HAVE THE PUBLIC WORKSHOP THE WEEK OF AUGUST 5th. SO WE HAVE TO FINALIZE ALL THOSE DATES AND SHOULD BE COORDINATING WITH YOU ALL TO MAKE SURE YOUR SCHEDULES CAN ACCOMMODATE THAT. AND THEN THAT IS ACTUALLY IN PERFECT TIMING BECAUSE WE WON'T ADOPT THE BUDGET UNTIL SEPTEMBER. SO IT WOULD MEAN ADOPTING THE STRATEGIC PLAN BEFORE THE SEPTEMBER BUDGET. >> RIGHT. BUT I WOULD LIKE THAT -- I MEAN IDEALLY SOME OF THOSE THINGS THAT ARE ON THE STRATEGIC PLAN ARE THINGS THAT WE MAY WANT TO BUDGET. AND SO IT'S DIFFICULT TO SAY THAT WE'RE GOING TO COME TO THE FINAL BUDGET MEETING AND MAKE DECISIONS THAT COULD ULTIMATELY CHANGE THE ENTIRE -- NOT THE ENTIRE BUDGET, BUT IT COULD REALLOCATE THINGS AND REPRIORITIZE THINGS, SO I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THAT. SO IF WE CAN MOVE THEM UP QUICKER, MOVE THEM UP SOONER, I WOULD RATHER THAT. I KNOW I WILL ADJUST MY SCHEDULE AND I WOULD HOPE THAT MY COLLEAGUES WILL BE FLEXIBLE, TOO. I THINK THAT JULY 21st IS A LITTLE FAR OFF BECAUSE OF THAT. SORRY. >> NO WORRIES. I'LL CHECK WITH THE CONSULTANT AND MAKE SURE HIS AVAILABILITY IS ACCOMMODATING FOR THAT. BUT WE WILL DEFINITELY COORDINATE THAT. >> OKAY, THANK YOU. IS THAT ALL THAT YOU HAD? >> YEAH, THAT'S ALL I HAVE, VICE MAYOR, THANK YOU. >> COMMISSIONER HAY, DO YOU HAVE ANY AGENDA? >> NO ADDITIONS. >> THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER CRUZ. >> NO ADDITIONS FOR ME. JUST WANTED TO KIND OF PIGGYBACK ON WHAT WAS SAID EARLIER ABOUT THE STRATEGIC PLANNING. I THINK ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS WE CAN DO IS REALLY FOCUS ON REALISTIC GOALS. AND AS YOU SAID, COMMISSIONER KELLEY, WE SHOULD PROBABLY DO THAT BEFORE THE BUDGET WHICH IS SLATED TO BE JULY 10th, 11th OR 12th. SO MY THOUGHT WAS IF WE CAN GET, YOU KNOW, STAFF TO COME UP WITH A LIST OF REALISTIC GOALS, WHETHER IT'S LIKE FIVE GOALS OR, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER NUMBER THE COMMISSION DECIDES TO HAVE AND THAT WAY WE CAN COME TO THE BUDGET MEETING WITH A TENTATIVE OPPORTUNITY FOR REALISTIC GOALS SO WE CAN ACTUALLY ACCOMPLISH IN THE NEXT YEAR, THAT MIGHT BE A GOOD WAY TO GO FORWARD WITH THAT. >> STAFF, DO YOU HAVE ENOUGH INFO TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT? >> I THINK WE DO. I THINK THE TOUGH PART IS JUST GOING TO BE GETTING THE CONSULTANT IN ADVANCE OF THE JULY MEETINGS. >> OKAY. WELL, LET'S DO OUR BEST. >> YEAH, WE'LL DO OUR BEST. >> THANK YOU. IF THERE'S NOTHING ELSE, MAY I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE AGENDA? >> SO MOVED. >> SECOND. >> OKAY. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR TO APPROVE THE AGENDA AS AMENDED, SAY AYE. [AYES] ALL THOSE OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES. OKAY. WE ARE MOVING ON TO INFORMATIONAL ITEMS BY MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION. LET'S BEGIN ON MY RIGHT WITH COMMISSIONER CRUZ. >> I DO NOT HAVE ANY DISCLOSURES TODAY, THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER HAY. >> NO DISCLOSURES, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT THE JUNETEENTH EVENT WAS GREAT, NO RAIN, EVERYBODY SEEMED TO ENJOY THEMSELVES. AND I APPRECIATE THE WAY THAT THE CITY ARRANGED THE TENTS FOR THE SHADING OF THE PEOPLE AND THE CHAIRS. EVERYBODY SEEMED TO BE PLEASED WITH THAT. SO I THINK WE SHOULD CONTINUE TO DO THAT. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER HAY. COMMISSIONER TURKIN. >> YEAH, I DID ALSO ATTEND THE JUNETEENTH EVENT. WE'LL GOOD EVENT. YOU KNOW, WE GOT LUCKY, THERE WAS NO RAIN AND NO SUNSHINE, JUST PERFECT AMOUNT OF OVERCAST. AND I MUST HAVE JUST MISSED YOU, COMMISSIONER HAY. [LAUGHTER] GREAT EVENT. THANKS FOR STAFF -- THANKS TO STAFF FOR PUTTING THAT ON. I'M SURE I'M FORGETTING SOMETHING. OH, YEAH, I JUST WANT TO THANK CHRIS FROM THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. FORGOT HIS LAST NAME. AND THEN THE OTHER GENTLEMAN, I FORGOT HIS NAME, TOO. CHIEF BRUDER, THEY HELPED ME WITH A WOMAN WHOSE CAR NEEDED TO BE JUMPED AND BATTERY WAS DEAD, TURNED INTO THIS WHOLE ELONGATED PROCESS. BUT I WAS ABLE TO CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT BECAUSE CHIEF DeGIULIO, YOU DIDN'T ANSWER THE PHONE, MAN. AND THEY WERE ABLE TO GET OVER QUICKLY. AND, YOU KNOW, I APPRECIATE THAT. THAT WOMAN WAS TERRIFIED AND SHE WAS SUPER STRESSED OUT AND SCARED. AND WE WERE ABLE TO HELP HER OUT AND GET HER BACK HOME. THANK YOU, GUYS. >> FOR ME, THE ONLY THING I HAVY DISCLOSURES, BUT INFORMATIONAL ITEMS, I UNFORTUNATELY COULDN'T ATTEND JUNETEENTH. I WAS AT THE CONNECT TO GREATNESS GRADUATION HERE HONORING THE HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES THAT ARE PART OF THAT PROGRAM. IT'S AN AMAZING MENTORSHIP PROGRAM THAT FOCUSES ON AT-RISK YOUTH IN THE COMMUNITY. SO I WAS AT THEIR LITTLE GRADUATION CEREMONY. SO THAT'S WHERE I WAS, SORRY I MISSED IT. I DID HEAR THAT IT WAS A HUGE SUCCESS. AND, YOU KNOW, THANKS TO EVENTS WHO ALWAYS MANAGE TO MAKE US LOOK GOOD. >> WE'LL HAVE IT AGAIN NEXT YEAR JUST FOR YOU. >> OKAY, GOOD, GOOD. I'LL BE THERE. I'LL PUT IT ON MY CALENDAR NOW. [LAUGHTER] OKAY. MOVING ON TO ANNOUNCEMENTS, WE HAVE TWO ANNOUNCEMENTS TO SHARE WITH THE RESIDENTS. THE CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH UTILITIES DEPARTMENT WILL BE PERFORMING A SYSTEM WIDE FREE CHLORINATION FLUSH FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE OF OUR WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM FROM JULY 3rd THROUGH JULY 24th. OUR NEXT ANNOUNCEMENT, BOYNTON BEACH RECREATION AND PARKS DEPARTMENT AND THE BOYNTON BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT WILL COHOST SWIM WITH A COP ON SATURDAY JUN. THIS EVENT WILL BRING POLICE OFFICERS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS TOGETHER TO BUILD RELATIONSHIPS ONE LAP AT A TIME. THERE WILL BE FOOD, MUSIC, GAMES AND MORE. THE EVENT WILL LAST FROM 12:30 TO 4:30, STANDARD POOL ADMISSION FEES APPLY. FOR MORE INFORMATION, LOG ON TO WEMAKELIFEFUN.COM. >> VICE MAYOR. >> YES. DID I MISS SOMETHING? >> BEFORE WE MOVE ON, GOING BACK, I WANTED TO ASK A QUESTION. WILL THAT CHLORINATION PROCESS IMPACT OUR WATER QUALITY IN ANY WAY? LIKE THE TASTE OF IT, THE COLOR OF IT, THE ODOR? ANY OF THOSE THINGS? ANYTHING NOTICEABLE? >> ANDREW, YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT OR DO YOU WANT DISTRDR. KALKAT TO COME UP? >> THE REASON I ASK SO WE CAN LET THE PUBLIC KNOW TO EXPECT THAT DURING THIS TIME PERIOD, THAT THIS WILL BE GOING ON. >> THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER, YES, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE KIND OF LET THE RESIDENTS KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT. >> ABSOLUTELY. >> GOOD EVENING, VICE MAYOR, COMMISSIONERS, AUDIENCE. YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE THE FLUSHING FROM THAT DATE JUST FOR MAINTAINING. AND SO YES, YOU MIGHT HAVE A LITTLE SMELL IN THE WATER OR YOU MIGHT FEEL A TASTE. YOU CAN PUT YOUR GLASS OUTSIDE OR PUT IT IN THE FRIDGE, FILL IT UP WITH A CONTAINER AND IT DISSIPATES IF SOMEBODY HAS MORE SORT OF -- THEY DON'T LIKE THE TASTE AND DON'T LIKE THE SMELL, WHICH MOST OF US DON'T. SO IT DISSIPATES VERY QUICKLY. BUT OTHER THAN THAT, UNLESS YOU ARE A DIALYSIS PATIENT WHO IS GOING THROUGH DIALYSIS AND USING THAT WATER, SO WE INFORM ALL THE DIALYSIS CENTERS, WE INFORM THE HOSPITALS SO THEY CAN CHANGE. THEY KNOW THAT CHLORINATION IS CHANGING FROM AMMONIA AND CHLORINE TO JUST CHLORINE. IT'S ONLY FOR THREE WEEKS TIME THAT WE DO THIS. >> YOU DON'T ANTICIPATE BOILING WATER OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT? >> NO, NO. YOU DON'T NEED TO DO ANYTHING. WATER MEETS ALL THE REQUIREMENTS. IT IS JUST A DIFFERENT DISINFECTION PROCESS. AND THEN WHAT WE USE MOST OF THE TIME. AND IT HELPS MAINTAIN THE LINES A LITTLE BIT BETTER. THAT'S WHY WE DO IT. BUT IF YOU HAVE ANY FISH OR ANYTHING THAT IS USING THAT WATER FOR, THEN YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU READ WHAT KIND OF CHLORINE IS ALLOWED IN THAT WATER. WE INFORM ALL THE PET STORES. WE INFORM ALL THE DIALYSIS CENTERS AND ALL THE HOSPITALS. BUT OTHER THAN THAT, THERE SHOULD BE NOTHING ELSE YOU NEED TO CHANGE. >> VERY GOOD. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, DR. KALKAT. OKAY. BEFORE PUBLIC AUDIENCE, I UNDERSTAND THE CITY ATTORNEY HAS SOME COMMENTS REGARDING PUBLIC AUDIENCE. >> YES I WANTED TO GIVE THE COMMISSION AND THE AUDIENCE AN UPDATE. WE RECENTLY RECEIVED AN AWARD WITH REGARD TO AN ARBITRATION. AND THERE HAS BEEN SOME MEDIA ON THAT. SO I WANTED TO UPDATE EVERYONE. I AM CURRENTLY WORKING WITH THE ATTORNEY AND WE ARE COMING UP WITH DIFFERENT PROPOSALS. AND ONCE THAT IS COMPLETED AND I HAVE THAT, THEN I WILL PRESENT THAT TO THE COMMISSION FOR THE COMMISSION TO MAKE A VOTE ON HOW TO PROCEED FORWARD WITH THAT LITIGATION, OKAY? >> OKAY. >> BUT UNTIL THEN, YOU KNOW, PLEASE, WE HAVE 90 DAYS TO MAKE A DECISION AND WE'RE NOT THERE YET. SO IF YOU COULD JUST BEAR WITH US, THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, MS. LAMB. WE ARE MOVING ON TO PUBLIC AUDIENCE. AS ALWAYS, THREE MINUTES PER PERSON AND IT IS NON-TRANSFERABLE. THIS IS NOT A Q&A. BECAUSE THIS IS NOT A Q&A, SHOULD YOU HAVE QUESTIONS DURING PUBLIC COMMENT AND WOULD LIKE FOLLOW-UP FROM STAFF, PLEASE SEE ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER ADAM TEMPLE WHO IS IN THE FRONT OF THE ROOM, SAME RULES AS ALWAYS APPLY. THE SPEAKER MUST ADDRESS THE COMMISSION, INSULTS, PERSONAL ATTACKS, DISRUPTION WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. YOU'LL BE ASKED TO LEAVE SHOULD YOU VIOLATE THESE RULES. AFTER WE CONCLUDE THOSE IN-PERSON, WE'LL GO TO THOSE ONLINE. THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER TURKIN, FOR BEING IN CHARGE OF THE CLOCK. >> GOT IT, RIGHT. WHO WANTS TO GO FIRST? >> BOTH SIDES -- >> HOW COME IT'S RUNNING? >> OKAY. HARRY WOODWORTH. >> SORRY, HARRY, ONE SECOND. >> 30 MINUTES OUGHT TO COVER IT. >> RIGHT. [LAUGHTER] >> DOES IT NEED A NEW BATTERY? >> MAYLEE, ARE YOU COMING TO THE RESCUE? MAYLEE IS COMING. SORRY, BEAR WITH US JUST ONE MOMENT. >> DON'T BLAME ME. IT WAS BROKEN WHEN I GOT IT. >> I CAN TAKE IT ON MY CELL PHONE. >> I THINK IT NEEDS A NEW BATTERY. >> YOU GOT IT? I CAN TIME IT. HANG ON ONE SECOND. >> I HAVE A WATCH. >> OKAY. COMMISSIONER, DO YOU HAVE YOUR PHONE THAT YOU CAN TIME IT AND SET THE TIMER? OR SHOULD I DO IT ON MY PHONE, COMMISSIONER TURKIN? >> I CAN DO IT. >> THAT'S FINE, IF SOMEBODY CAN JUST START A TIMER, PLEASE. >> SAY WHEN TO TOP. >> HARRY, WE'LL GIVE YOU 10 SECONDS. >> SORRY. >> ARE WE READY? [LAUGHTER] >> YOU DON'T HAVE 93 MINUTES. >> I WASN'T GOING TO TAKE THREE MINUTES ANYHOW. HARRY WOODWORTH, BOYNTON BEACH. FIRST I'D LIKE TO THANK YOU GUYS FOR BRINGING UP THE STRATEGIC PLAN. I HAD ABOUT FOUR PARAGRAPHS OF EVENTING THAT I WAS GOING TO DO WHICH I WON'T. WE STARTED THIS OVER A YEAR AGO. THE LAST -- THE FIRST MEETING WAS IN MAY. THERE WAS EMAIL TRAILS THAT GO BACK BEFORE THAT. THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF THE EXERCISE WAS TO GET SOME GOALS FOR THE CITY BECAUSE EVERY PREVIOUS ATTEMPT TO DO STRATEGIC GOALS ENDED EXACTLY WHERE THIS ONE DID, WITH NO EXECUTABLE. OKAY. STEVEN COVEY SUMS IT UP. A GOAL WITHOUT AN EXECUTION PLAN IS A FANTASY. THAT'S JUST A FACT. WE HAVE NEVER GOTTEN PAST IT. THIS TIME WE GOT THERE! WE HAD IT! A YEAR HAS PASSED. WE DON'T HAVE ONE SINGLE WRITTEN ACTIONABLE GOAL, LONG RANGE GOAL FOR THE WHOLE CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO SAY. 80,000 PEOPLE DEPEND ON THE COMMISSION AND THE STAFF TO DO STUFF LIKE THIS. YOU'VE GOT A BUDGET EVERY YEAR WITH A RECURRING EXPENSES BARELY MAKE THE RECURRING REVENUE. THERE'S NO ROOM TO GO IN THERE AT THE 11th HOUR AND CHANGE THIS AND YOU KNOW THAT. [TONE] WHAT IN THE WORLD TAKES A YEAR FOR SOMETHING THAT EVERY CORPORATION AND ENTITY IN THE UNITED STATES AND THE WORLD DOES? WHICH IS MAKE LONG-RANGE PLANS. AND I'M NOT PICKING ON ANYBODY, BUT THIS IS UNDERWHELMING BY ANY METRIC AND WE DON'T HAVE ANY METRICS SO NOBODY WOULD KNOW THAT. 80,000 PEOPLE DEPEND ON THE STAFF AND THE COMMISSION TO DO THINGS LIKE THIS SO THAT THE FUTURE OF THIS CITY IS DIFFERENT THAN THE PAST. FOLKS, I DON'T GET UP HERE AND PICK ON ANYBODY. I NEVER HAVE AND I NEVER WILL. BUT WE SHOULD BE EMBARRASSED. WE SHOULD COLLECTIVELY BE EMBARRASSED FOR HAVING 14 MONTHS PASS AND NOT HAVING ONE WRITTEN ACTIONABLE LONG-RANGE GOAL, NOT EVEN ONE. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO SAY. >> THANK YOU, HARRY. >> I AM WATCHING IT. IT'S FUN. I WILL SAY I DON'T WANT TO BE THE ONE THAT FOLLOWS THAT. [LAUGHTER] [TONE] >> YOU'RE BACK ON DUTY NOW. >> USER ERROR. >> SUSAN OYER, BOYNTON BEACH. SO I WANT TO POINT OUT THAT I TAKE GATEWAY TO GO TO WORK EVERY DAY. I WORK FOR THE SECOND LARGEST EMPLOYER IN THE CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH. AND THE LIGHTS THAT ARE AS SOON AS YOU CROSS I-95 ON THE TOP OF GATEWAY AND HEAD WEST HAVE CHANGED. SO THEY NEED TO GO BACK BECAUSE AS OF THIS MORNING, YOU NOW HAVE TWO LIGHTS CYCLING RED, THE ONE RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE PUBLIX AND THE ONE RIGHT THERE WHERE YOU TURN ON TO QUANTUM. THEY NEVER DID THAT BEFORE. YOU NOW HAVE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE EVERY HALF AN HOUR TRYING TO DRIVE IN BETWEEN 6:45 AND 8:55 IN THE MORNING. AND THEY ARE NOW BEING STOPPED BY TWO ADDITIONAL RED LIGHTS THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE BEFORE. AND HAVING GOB THIS WAY FOR FOUR YEARS, I KNOW WHAT THE LIGHTS SHOULD BE DOING AND HOW THEY WORK. SO, VICE MAYOR KELLEY, I UNDERSTAND YOU ARE ON THE MPO. PLEASE CALL THEM AND GET THIS FIXED BECAUSE IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT YOU ARE NOW GOING TO MAKE POTENTIALLY 800 PEOPLE LATE TO WORK BECAUSE OF SOME RANDOM CHANGE IN THE STOP LIGHTS THAT WE DON'T NEED. THANK YOU. SO WHAT I REALLY WANT TO TALK TODAY ABOUT IS IF YOU NOTICE ON THE AGENDA, WE ARE SELLING A LOT OF STUFF, INCLUDING SCREWS AND WING NUTS AND BOLTS AND SHUTTERS. SO I'M WONDERING WHERE ALL THAT MONEY IS GOING AND WHY WE'RE SELLING ALL OF THIS, YOU KNOW. IS THIS TO OFFSET THE NEXT THING I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT? BUT THIS JUST LOOKS VERY STRANGE THAT WE ARE WRITING OFF TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OFF OF OUR BUDGET THAT GOES BACK FOR FIVE YEARS. WHY WASN'T THIS, YOU KNOW, WRITTEN OFF THE YEAR IT HAPPENED OR THE YEAR AFTER? AND NOW, ALL OF A SUDDEN, YOU'RE WRITING OFF TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS, POTENTIALLY MORE. I DIDN'T EVEN DO ALL THE MATH. I JUST LOOKED AT IT. AND YOU'RE ALSO SELLING APPROXIMATELY 30 SOME ODD THOUSAND DOLLARS OF HURRICANE SUPPLIES. WERE THOSE HURRICANE SUPPLIES PAID FOR? I ASSUME YOU WENT TO ACE HARDWARE AND OFFICE DEPOT AND USED YOUR CITY CARDS FOR THIS. ARE YOU LOOKING TO PAY BACK THE BILLS? DID YOU NOT PAY THEM AT THE TIME? YOU KNOW, WHAT'S GOING ON? WHY ARE WE SELLING ALL OF THIS STUFF? I HOPE THERE'S DISCUSSION AND IT GETS PULLED ON CONSENT. AND THAT LEADS ME TO MY FAVORITE TOPIC WHICH IS THE BOYNTON BEACH BOULEVARD DISASTER. IT WAS BUDGETED FOR 3 MILLION. IT NOW COSTS 7 MILLION. YOU NEED TO PUT A STOP TO THIS. WHATEVER LITTLE BIT YOU'RE MAKING FROM SELLING SCREWS AND WING NUTS AND BOLTS IS NOT GOING TO COVER THAT $4 MILLION EXCESS. SO WHERE ARE YOU GETTING THAT 4 MILLION FROM FOR A ROAD RENOVATION THAT WE ABSOLUTELY DO NOT WANT, DO NOT NEED AND IS HINDERING OUR CITY? SO PLEASE STOP THAT RENOVATION BECAUSE WE DON'T NEED IT. AND PLEASE DISCUSS, YOU KNOW, ON THESE CONSENT ITEMS WHY THE HECK WE ARE SELLING ALL THIS STUFF AND WRITING OFF TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OF THE PUBLIC'S MONEY. I HOPE YOU HAVE A WAY TO GET IT BACK, THANK YOU. AND PLEASE GET THE LIGHTS FIXED. >> THANK YOU, MS. OYER. >> THANK YOU. >> NEXT. >> MAY I? >> YOU MAY. >> THANK YOU. I'M DAVID MERKER. CITIZEN OBVIOUSLY OF BOYNTON BEACH. MY PASSION, MY DESIRE IS A WORD CALLED TOGETHERNESS. AND HOW TOGETHERNESS COMES TOGETHER IS THROUGH EDUCATION. OFTEN THROUGH HISTORY LESSONS. THE JUNETEENTH EVENT IS AN EVENT THAT WE, THE PEOPLE OF THE WHOLE CITY, LET ALONE OUTSIDE THE CITY, SHOULD BE TRULY INFORMED, BECOME KNOWLEDGEABLE AND EDUCATION ABOUT. I WENT TO THE EVENT LIKE I GO EVERY YEAR TO THE DIFFERENT EVENTS. AND I FOUND IT DISAPPOINTING. WHAT WAS DISAPPOINTING WAS NOT THE PEOPLE WHO PARTICIPATED, BUT THE LACK OF NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO WERE THERE. I WAS THERE FOR A LITTLE OVER TWO HOURS. AND THE POPULATION THAT ATTENDED WAS NOT VERY GREAT. AND I FIND THAT UPSETTING BECAUSE BOYNTON BEACH -- I LOOK AT IT AS A DIVERSE CITY, A CITY OF MANY PEOPLE WHO SHOULD BE TOGETHER AND SHOULD KNOW ABOUT ONE ANOTHER. AND I USE THAT WORD, MY FAVORITE WORD, AND THOSE WHO KNOW ME, THE WORD IS HISTORY. SO THANK YOU FOR THE EVENT, BUT LET'S MAKE IT BETTER AND MORE INFORMATIVE NEXT YEAR. [TONE] >> THANK YOU. NEXT PUBLIC COMMENT SPEAKER. >> CINDY FALCO DiCORRADO. I'M HERE TONIGHT BECAUSE I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE BOYNTON BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT IN WHICH EVERY ONE OF YOU HERE HAVE BEEN A WITNESS TO. I'D LIKE TO READ IT TO YOU. MS. FALCO DiCORRADO, THANK YOU FOR YOUR RECENT FEEDBACK REGARDING THE INTERACTION YOU HAD WITH OUR PERSONNEL. IN YOUR COMPLAINT, YOU EXPRESSED CONCERNS REGARDING EXCESSIVE FORCE. I SINCERELY REGRET THIS ENCOUNTER FELL SHORT OF YOUR EXPECTATIONS. I DIDN'T HAVE ANY EXPECTATIONS. AS WE STRIVE TO PROVIDE COMPETENT AND PROFESSIONAL SERVICE DURING EACH CITIZEN ENCOUNTER, A THOROUGH REVIEW OF THIS CEMENT WAS COMPLETED AND THE AVAILABLE EVIDENCE DID NOT SUPPORT THE BURDEN OF PROOF REQUIRED BY FLORIDA LAW TO SUSTAIN THE ALLEGATIONS MADE IN YOUR COMPLAINT. NEVERTHELESS YOUR FEEDBACK ON OUR PERFORMANCE HAS BEEN NOTED AND YOUR PARTICIPATION IN THIS INVESTIGATION AND CONCERN REGARDING OUR PERFORMANCE IS WELL APPRECIATED. WE TAKE THESE ALLEGATIONS AND/OR CONCERNS THAT RELATE TO THE PERFORMANCE OF OUR DUTIES AND THE SERVICE OF THE COMMUNITY VERY SERIOUSLY. WE BEAR THIS IN MIND AS WE CONTINUE ONGOING TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT TO EVALUATE ANY'S OF A SIMILAR NATURE THAT MAY ARISE IN THE FUTURE. AND THIS IS SIGNED BY YOUR CHIEF OF POLICE, JOE DeGIULIO. NOW, I'D LIKE TO READ TERRORISM, THE UNLAWFUL USE OF VIOLENCE AND INTIMIDATION AGAINST CIVILIANS IN PURSUIT OF SALES. EXTRA IS AN AGREEMENT TO COMPLETE AN ILLEGAL ACT DONE THAT DAY WHEN I WAS ATTACKED, A SENIOR WOMAN, ALONG WITH THE INTENT TO ACHIEVE THE AGREEMENT'S GOAL. MOST REQUIRE AN OVERT ACT TOWARD AN AGREEMENT. A STATUTORY REQUIREMENT. SEE WHITFIELD VERSUS UNITED STATES 453, UNITED STATES CODE. THIS IS AN ILLEGAL ACT AND IT'S CONSPIRACY. AS YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE BEEN WITNESSES TO THE ABUSE THAT WAS DONE IN THIS ROOM. THIS WAS SENT TO ME BY YOUR CHIEF OF POLICE. YOU HEARD THE OFFENSE. YOU SAW THE OFFENSE. YOU SAW THE ABUSE. THIS IS SHAMEFUL, THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. NEXT PUBLIC COMMENT SPEAKER. >> GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS BARBARA REEDY. I JUST WANTED TO TALK TONIGHT ABOUT A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT CAUGHT MY ATTENTION ON THE CONSENT AGENDA. MUCH LIKE SUSAN, I WAS A LITTLE BIT SURPRISED TO SEE THAT WE'RE HOLDING A GARAGE SALE, SELLING SCREWS AND WING NUTS AND CHAIN SAWS RIGHT AT THE START OF HURRICANE SEASON. AND I'M WONDERING IF THERE ISN'T ANYTHING ON THAT LIST THAT WE MIGHT NEED. AND YOU HOPE TO BRING IN ABOUT $38,000 WITH THE GARAGE SALE. AND THEN WE GO FURTHER ON TO THE CONSENT AGENDA ITEM ZERO, WHICH PERTAINS TO THE POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION AMENDMENT. READING THAT CONTRACT OR THE BACKUP INFORMATION FOR THAT ITEM, EXCUSE ME, SAYS CURRENTLY YOU ARE PAYING A 5% STEP INCREASE ANNUALLY. AND THEN FURTHER ON IT SAYS IT'S GOING TO BE AN ADDITIONAL 5% INCREASE. DOES THAT BRING IT TO 10% EACH YEAR? AND I DID NOT SEE A BUDGETARY AMOUNT ASSOCIATED WITH THAT ITEM. HOW IS THAT GOING TO IMPACT THE BUDGET? YOU KNOW, OUR $38,000 GARAGE SALE CERTAINLY IS NOT GOING TO COVER A 10% INCREASE. SO I WAS JUST CURIOUS. IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO KNOW WHAT THE BUDGET IMPACT WOULD BE ON THAT CONTRACT ITEM. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, BARBARA. NEXT SPEAKER, PLEASE APPROACH THE PODIUM. >> THANK YOU. ERIC PARDY. I COME HERE TO TALK ABOUT SOMETHING THAT'S GOING ON IN OUR SOCIETY. AND I KNOW IT'S NOT -- IT'S A NATIONAL ISSUE, BUT WE ARE PART OF THIS NATION. NOW, WE HAVE A RELIGION. I CALL IT A MENTAL ILLNESS CALLED WOKISM IN THIS COUNTRY THAT IS DIVIDING PEOPLE BY SKIN COLOR, GENDER AND SO ON. YOU CAN TALK ABOUT ANYTHING YOU WANT, BUT WE CAN'T SOLVE ANY PROBLEMS IF WE'RE DIVIDED. NOW, THESE ARE ISSUES THAT DIVIDE US, THIS LGBTQ AND YOUR BLM AND ALL YOUR ALPHABET SOUPS. ALL THEY DO IS DIVIDE US. HOW CAN WE SOLVE PROBLEMS IF WE'RE NOT UNITED? HOW DO WE UNITE UNDER SIGNS OF DIVISION? YOU KNOW, WE HAVE DEI, WHAT IS IT? EITHER WAY, IT STANDS FOR DIVISION EXCLUSION AND IGNORANCE WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, I'M NOT SAYING THAT SOMEBODY CAN'T DO A JOB BECAUSE OF THEIR SKIN COLOR OR THEIR SEXUAL DESIRES OR WHATEVER. THEY ARE SAYING IT THROUGH DEI. I'M NOT SAYING THIS, THEY ARE. NOW, IF YOU HAVE A SURGERY DONE, WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE THE GUY WHO HAS BEEN DOING THE SURGERIES FOR 10 YEARS OR THIS GUY BECAUSE HE HAPPENS TO BE A BLACK OR GAY OR WHATEVER? THIS DEI IS VERY DANGEROUS AND DIVIDES US. IT PROVES IT WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR 666 BENCHES RIGHT ACROSS FROM THE RAINBOW THING PAINTED ON THE STREET. HOW ARE WE GOING TO SOLVE PROBLEMS IN THIS COUNTRY? THINK OF THIS CITY AS LITTLE TEENY COUNTRY AND THE MAYOR IS THE PRESIDENT. HOW CAN WE SOLVE PROBLEMS IF WE ARE ALL DIVIDED? WE SHOULD ALL BE -- THIS IS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, NOT THE DIVIDED STATES OF AMERICA. SO WE SHOULD NOT BE SYMBOLIZING DIVISION. AND THAT'S ALL WE'RE DOING WITH YOUR RAINBOW FLAG PAINTED ON THE STREET AND YOUR BLM FIST HANGING THERE. AND THE 666 BENCH IS RIGHT ON THE CORNER. I HAVE HEARD TALK OF A DAY OF PRAYER. WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO PRAY? IN FRONT OF THE 666 BENCHES? BECAUSE WE HAVE OBVIOUSLY TAKEN GOD OUT OF OUR SOCIETY. YOU DON'T HAVE TO BELIEVE. YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO TO CHURCH OR ANYTHING, BUT THERE IS A GOD. AND I THINK EVERYBODY BELIEVES THAT THERE IS SOMETHING ABOVE US. EVERYBODY SHOULD. BUT THINGS ARE GOING BIBLICAL NOW. AND WE REALLY NEED TO PULL TOGETHER AND NOT DIVIDE. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, MR. PARDY. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE FROM THE AUDIENCE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK DURING PUBLIC COMMENT? IF NOT, WE ARE GOING TO GO TO THOSE ONLINE. I BELIEVE WE HAVE MIKE TAYLOR ONLINE TO SPEAK DURING PUBLIC COMMENT. MIKE TAYLOR. >> HI. CAN YOU HEAR ME? I DO WANT TO SAY SOMETHING. CAN YOU HEAR ME? >> YES, WE CAN HEAR YOU. >> I DIDN'T KNOW. THE WOMAN THAT SAID THAT SHE GOT ATTACKED IN THE -- AT THE MEETING, I ACTUALLY COVERED CAR- MY NAME IS MICHAEL TAYLOR, I'M FROM PORT ST. LUCIE, FLORIDA. I WANT TO LET THE WOMAN KNOW THAT I COVERED THE ATTACK ON MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL. WHAT I AM GOING TO SPEAK ABOUT IS MY TRIP TO BOYNTON BEACH. I AM A SECOND AMENDMENT ACTIVIST. I CAME TO BOYNTON AND I MET A COUPLE OF YOUR OFFICERS OUT OF THE JETTY. I'M GOING TO SAY THEY WERE PRETTY IGNORANT OF THE LAW. WE'LL JUST LEAVE IT AT THAT. AND, YOU KNOW, I HAD TO TRY -- I BASICALLY HAD TO WALK THEM THROUGH THE LAW BECAUSE THEY ARE LIKE, OH, I DON'T KNOW THIS NUMBER, I DON'T KNOW THAT NUMBER, I DON'T KNOW THIS, I DON'T KNOW THAT. YOU CAN'T CARRY MORE THAN SIX ROUNDS. I'M LIKE I'M NOT SHOOTING FISH. WE SPIN THIS ALL AROUND AND THEN A REALLY GOOD FRIEND OF MINE WHOSE NAME IS HONORE URO, THAT'S HIS YOUTUBE QUESTION AND HE GOES BY JEFF GRAY. HE CAME TO BOYNTON AND I BELIEVE HE WAS AT A PARK, A PARKS AND RECREATION AREA AND HE WAS OUT THERE WITH A SIGN THAT SAID "GOD BLESS THE HOMELESS VETS." AND THE OFFICER THEN SAID, OH, WELL, GUESS WHAT, WE HAVE AN ORDINANCE AGAINST PANHANDLING. AND THE SIGN THAT HE HAD JUST SAID "GOD BLESS THE HOMELESS VETS." HE WASN'T OUT THERE PANHANDLING. BUT WHEN THE OFFICER SAID THAT YOU HAVE A PANHANDLING ORDINANCE, I'M NOT TRYING -- I NEED TO ACTUALLY ADDRESS ONE PERSON AND THAT'S GOING TO BE THE ATTORNEY. AND THIS ISN'T ME POKING FUN AT ANYBODY OR NOTHING, BUT THE ATTORNEY OF BOYNTON BEACH, IF YOU CAN, IF YOU'VE GOT YOUR PEN HANDY OR READY TO GO, PLEASE LOOK UP THE CASE LAW DAVID WARTROAS VERSUS STATE OF FLORIDA. IT HAS ALREADY BEEN DECIDED IN THE FLORIDA SUPREME COURT THAT PEOPLE ASKING FOR MONEY IS A CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTION. IT'S FREE SPEECH, YOU KNOW. NOW, IF SOMEBODY IS AGGRESSIVELY PANHANDLING SAYING YOU NEED TO GIVE ME MONEY, THAT'S A WHOLE DIFFERENT -- THAT'S GOING TO BE HARASSMENT. THAT'S A WHOLE ANOTHER THING. AND THEN IF PEOPLE ARE STEPPING OUT INTO THE ROADWAYS TO GET MONEY, THAT'S A WHOLE ANOTHER THING BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, YOU ARE ACTUALLY STEPPING OUT AND VIOLATING STATE LAW. BUT PANHANDLING -- >> 10 SECONDS. I'M SORRY, MIKE TAYLOR, YOU HAVE 10 SECONDS. >> YEAH, NO WORRIES. PANHANDLING IN ITS CORE IS COMPLETELY LAWFUL ANYWHERE IN THE UNITED STATES. [TONE] AND I THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. >> THANK YOU. AND THEN WE HAVE MIKE -- I'M SORRY IF I BUTCHER YOUR LAST NAME. IT LOOKS LIKE NUER, MIKE NUER, LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE ONLINE TO SPEAK FOR PUBLIC COMMENT. IF YOU COULD STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD. >> HELLO? >> YES. >> HI, MY NAME IS MIKE NUER, I APPRECIATE YOU ALLOWING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK. I HAVE ISSUES AND HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES SINCE I BECAME A HOMEOWNER IN BOYNTON BEACH WITH THE CITY ENFORCING THE CODE COMPLIANCE AND RULES AGAINST MY NEIGHBOR AT 58 VISTA DEL RIO. I'VE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THEM SINCE I MOVED IN. THEY HAVE A DILAPIDATED BOAT AND A TRAILER THAT IS OVER THE PROPERTY LINE. AND I HAVE ADDRESSED THIS CONCERN WITH CODE ENFORCEMENT AS WELL AS THE POLICE AND HAVE GOTTEN ZERO ASSISTANCE. I HAVE ASKED THEM TO MOVE IT. I OFFERED TO MOVE IT MYSELF. I HAVE CONTACTED THE CITY CODE ENFORCEMENT AND THEY TOLD ME IT'S A CIVIL MATTER EVEN THOUGH THE CITY CODE STATES AND I QUOTE THAT THE RECREATIONAL VEHICLE BOAT OR BOAT TRAILER SHALL BE PARKED OR STORED ENTIRELY -- I EMPHASIZE ENTIRELY ON THE PROPERTY OWNER'S -- ON THE OWNER'S PROVES IN A SAFE AND ORDERLY MANNER. IT IS OVER THE PROPERTY LINE BY ABOUT 2 FEET, CAUSING ME UNDUE STRESS AND PREVENTING THE USE AND ENJOYMENT OF MY PROPERTY. I HAVE HAD TO FENCE MY PROPERTY BECAUSE I HAVE DOGS FOR MY BACKYARD. I ACTUALLY HAD TO FENCE AROUND THE BOAT BECAUSE THEY REFUSED TO MOVE IT. AND I WILL NEED TO BEAR THE COST OF REDOING THE FENCE ONCE IT IS FINALLY REMOVED. THE PROPERTY, I HAVE ALSO COMPLAINED VIOLATES THE CITY CODE REGARDING THE EXTERIOR. REPAIR WORK ON EXTERIOR WALLS SHALL BE PAINTED IN A MANNER TO COLOR COORDINATE WITH THE REST OF THE STRUCTURE. THERE ARE TWO AREAS ON THE HOUSE THAT ARE PROBABLY ABOUT 8-FOOT IN WIDTH THAT ARE NOT THE SAME COLOR OF THE HOUSE, THAT THEY JUST PAINTED SPLOTCHES ON. I FILED THE COMPLAINTS THROUGH THE MY BOYNTON BEACH APP ABOUT THREE MONTHS AGO AND THE ISSUE STILL REPLACE. ALSO THEIR FENCE IS NOT PERMITTED AND THEY WERE TOLD THEY HAD TO PUT A SAFETY FENCE AROUND THE POOL, ONE OF THOSE MESH FENCES. THEY PUT IT UP FOR THE INSPECTOR AND THEN THEY IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT DOWN AND HALF OF IT IS NOW EXPOSED. AND THEN THEY ALSO RECENTLY REPLACED THEIR GATE ON THEIR FENCE WITHOUT A PERMIT. I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH MY BACKYARD AND REASONABLE EXPECTATION TO PRIVACY. WE HAD AN 8-YEAR-OLD GODDAUGHTER OVER SWIMMING IN HER UNDERWEAR BECAUSE SHE DIDN'T HAVE A BATHING SUIT AND THEN THEY PUT A CAMERA ON THEIR ROOF POINTING AT OUR POOL. THIS IS VERY UPSETTING. I PLANTED SOME HEDGES ALONG THAT FENCE LINE TO TRY TO BLOCK THEIR CAMERA FROM VIEWING INTO OUR BACKYARD AND WATCHING THE POOL. AND THEY PUT THE CAMERA UP ON TWO CINDER BLOCKS TO RAISE IT HIGHER SO THEY CAN CONTINUE TO SPY INTO MY BACKYARD. I UNDERSTAND YOU'RE ALLOWED TO VIDEOTAPE PEOPLE IN PUBLIC, BUT I BELIEVE THAT IN YOUR OWN BACKYARD I WOULD HAVE A REASONABLE EXPECTATION OF PRIVACY. CALLED THE POLICE ON THIS ISSUE. THEY CAME OUT AND TOLD ME THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I HAVE DOCUMENTATION AND PHOTOS OF ALL THESE ISSUES AND I HAVE RETAINED AN ATTORNEY TO DEAL WITH THE COURT DATE REGARDING THE BOAT. [TONE] SINCE THE CITY CODE ENFORCEMENT HAS NEGLECTED TO ENFORCE THEIR CODE. >> THANK YOU, MR. NUER. THANK YOU. SORRY, YOUR TIME HAS EXPIRED. ADAM, CAN YOU PLEASE -- IF HE'S BEEN ON THE MY BOYNTON APP, WE HAVE HIS CONTACT INFORMATION. CAN YOU PLEASE FOLLOW UP WITH HIM WITH REGARD TO HIS CONCERNS? >> YES, WILL DO. >> THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. NUER. THERE'S NO OTHER -- NOBODY ELSE ONLINE FOR PUBLIC COMMENT SO PUBLIC AUDIENCE IS NOW OVER. WE ARE MOVING ON TO ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS, 5A. ADVISORY BOARD APPOINTMENTS. HANG ON ONE SECOND. LET ME CHANGE GEARS A SECOND. OKAY. THE ART ADVISORY BOARD HAS TWO VACANCIES, NO APPLICANTS. BUILDING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT AND APPEALS HAS SEVERAL VACANCIES, NO APPLICANTS. THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY HAS VACANCY AND I AM THE -- I WOULD LIKE TO APPOINT CAMERON MAHARAJ FOR THE REGULAR POSITION FOR THE CRA. >> SECOND. >> ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? [AYES] ANY OPPOSED? NO. OKAY. SO NOW WE MOVE ON TO EMPLOYEES PENSION BOARD, WE HAVE TWO VACANCIES, NO APPLICANTS. AND THEN WE HAVE EDUCATION YOUTH ADVISORY BOARD. AND I JUST -- THE MAYOR HAS THE NEXT APPOINTMENT, BUT BECAUSE WE BOTH -- BOTH HE AND I HAVE ALTERNATE POSITIONS TO APPOINT, UNLESS YOU HAVE ANY OBJECTIONS, I WAS THINKING I WOULD MAKE MY APPOINTMENT TODAY AND THE MAYOR WOULD THEN HAVE THE NEXT APPOINTMENT WHEN HE'S HERE. BUT I JUST WANTED TO KIND OF MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE WAS GOOD WITH THAT. >> NO OBJECTIONS. >> OKAY. COMMISSIONER CRUZ, YOU'RE GOOD? OKAY. SO THEN I WOULD MOVE TO APPOINT ALLISON COPELAND. >> SECOND. >> THANK YOU. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? [AYES] ANY OPPOSED? NONE. HISTORIC RESOURCES PRESERVATION BOARD HAS FOUR VACANCIES, NO APPLICANTS. LIBRARY BOARD HAS FOUR VACANCIES, NO APPLICANTS. THE RECREATION AND PARKS BOARD, COMMISSIONER TURKIN, THIS IS YOUR APPOINTMENT. >> MMOTION TO APPROVE BRUCE ROBERTSON. >> SECOND. >> ALL THOSE IN FAVOR. [AYES] ANY OPPOSED? SEEING NONE. THE NEXT BOARD IS THE SENIOR ADVISORY BOARD, THERE ARE FIVE VACANCIES AND NO APPLICANTS. AND I THINK THAT CONCLUDES THIS AGENDA ITEM. LEGAL, WE'RE GOOD? GOOD? OKAY. MOVING ON TO 5B IS INFORMATIONAL ONLY. IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS WITH REGARD TO 5B? IF NOT, IT'S INFORMATIONAL AND DOESN'T NEED ANY SORT OF MOTION. OKAY. MOVING ON TO 5C, DISCUSSION REGARDING BUDGET WORKSHOP DATES. I KNOW THERE WAS SOME CONFUSION ABOUT BUDGET WORKSHOP DATES. I KNOW LAST YEAR, IF I CAN JUST TALK FOR ONE QUICK SECOND, JUST KIND OF SUMMARIZE WHERE I THINK WE ARE -- LAST YEAR, YOU KNOW, WE HAD ONE BUDGET WORKSHOP THAT WAS AN ALL DAY. AND THEN WE HAD ANOTHER ONE THAT WAS IN THE EVENING. AND THE DAY ONE WAS DEFINITELY LESS ATTENDED. I'M NOT SURE IF WE NEED THAT KIND OF TIME OR IF WE JUST NEED TWO NIGHTS AND MAYBE A BACKUP THAT WE CAN PIGGYBACK ON THE COMMISSION MEETING. BUT I WANTED TO GET YOUR THOUGHTS. I'M FINE WITH HAVING AN ALL-DAY ONE IF WE THINK WE NEED THAT KIND OF TIME. SO I WILL START WITH YOU, COMMISSIONER TURKIN, ON YOUR THOUGHTS REGARDING BUDGET DATES. >> YEAH. BECAUSE IN MY CALENDAR, I HAD JULY 8th ALL DAY AND I HAD TAKEN LEAVE FOR THAT DAY. AND I'M SURE, YOU KNOW, MAYBE SOME OF Y'ALL HAD AS WELL. I'M OPEN TO DOING IT IN THE EVENINGS AS WELL. I THINK THAT ALLOWS FOR MORE PUBLIC INPUT. SO WHAT YOU ARE PROPOSING IS JUST MAYBE TWO EVENINGS WITH A TENTATIVE THIRD EVENING? >> THAT WAS MY THOUGHT. BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT'S ENOUGH TIME AS I DON'T WANT TO RUN INTO WHERE WE'RE HAVING THESE EVENINGS AND THEN WE'RE NOT ALLOWING ENOUGH TIME TO HAVE ALL THE DISCUSSION THAT WE MAY NEED TO HAVE. >> SURE, SURE. >> SO I DON'T WANT TO, YOU KNOW -- >> YEAH, UNDERSTOOD. I'M OKAY WITH THAT. IF WE DO MOVE FORWARD TO LOOK AT A DAY, I WOULD LIKE TO JUST KEEP THE 8th SINCE WE PLANNED FOR THAT AND IT'S BEEN ON OUR CALENDARS THE LAST SIX MONTHS. SO THAT'S WHERE I'M AT. I'M OKAY WITH EITHER. BUT IF WE DO ONE DURING THE DAY, JULY 8th, KEEPING THAT AND THEN MAYBE THE ADDITIONAL TIME NEEDED IN THE EVENING OR THE TWO EVENINGS WITH THE TENTATIVE. >> OKAY. >> THAT'S WHERE I'M AT. >> COMMISSIONER HAY, YOUR THOUGHTS? >> YEAH. I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THE JULY 8th DATE. I'D LIKE TO DO TWO EVENINGS FOR THE SAKE OF THE PUBLIC WITH ONE POSSIBLE BACKUP IF WE NEED IT. A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE WORKING DURING THAT MORNING, BUT THEY WOULD MAKE A SACRIFICE TO MAKE AN AFTERNOON BUDGET MEETING. SO TWO EVENINGS AND ONE EVENING FOR A BACKUP IF NEEDED AND KEEP THE DATE ON JULY 8th. >> OKAY. COMMISSIONER CRUZ, WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS? >> HONESTLY, I WOULD PREFER TO HAVE A FULL-DAY WORKSHOP AT LEAST FOR ONE DAY, THE WAY THAT WE HAVE HAD IT FOR SEVERAL YEARS BEFORE. WE HAVE SEEN THAT THE PUBLIC COMES SOMETIMES AND OBVIOUSLY PUBLIC INPUT IS IMPORTANT. HOWEVER, WE DO HAVE A CRA MEETING ON JULY 9th SO IT WOULD BE IF WE HAVE A CRA MEETING ON THE 9th AND TWO MORE NIGHTS, I MEAN LET'S BE REAL. LIKE YOU WORK ALL DAY AND THEN YOU'RE DOING THESE THINGS IN THE EVENING. I WOULD THINK THAT FOR THE BEST INTEREST OF THE TAXPAYERS AND OUR RESIDENTS, WE WANT TO BE AWAKE, AWARE, FULL OF ENERGY AND REALLY JUST FOCUSED ON THE ONE TIME OF YEAR WE HAVE BUDGET WORKSHOPS. AND THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THAT WE DO AS ELECTED OFFICIALS. SO I WOULD DEFINITELY ADVOCATE TO HAVE AT LEAST ONE FULL DAY AS A BUDGET WORKSHOP. I'M OPEN TO HAVING A CONTINUOUS OF AN AFTERNOON, BUT WE DO UNDERSTAND THAT WE DO HAVE A CRA MEETING ON THE 9th AFTER WORKING ALL DAY, WHICH THAT'S KIND OF MAYBE A -- >> WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS? I'M JUST BRAINSTORMING REALLY QUICKLY TO NOT EXHAUST THIS TOO MUCH. BUT ON THAT JULY 8th DATE, WHAT IF WE DID -- AS OPPOSED TO DOING JUST AN EVENING WHICH WOULD RUN LATE, WHAT IF WE DID IT WHERE WE STARTED IT, YOU KNOW, KIND OF MID AFTERNOON, BUT INCLUDED SOME OF THE NIGHTTIME HOURS TO ALLOW FOR PEOPLE TO COME, YOU KNOW? I'M JUST TRYING TO THINK SO THAT WE'RE NOT HERE SUPER LATE TWO NIGHTS BECAUSE I DO UNDERSTAND THAT. AND I AGREE IT'S A LOT. LUCKILY IT'S ONE MONTH THAT WE HAVE TO HOPEFULLY DEAL WITH THIS. YES, IT IS A LOT, I GET IT. I'D BE FINE WITH THE JULY 8th ALL DAY IF WE THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE NEEDED. SO THAT WAS -- I MEAN I DID JUST LIKE YOU, COMMISSIONER TURKIN, HAD BLOCKED IT OUT ON MY CALENDAR AT WORK. SO I'M FINE WITH THAT IF WE THINK THAT'S WHAT WE NEED. I DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN JUST START A LITTLE BIT LATER OR WHAT. BUT I'M JUST -- MAYBE DEFER TO STAFF. WE KNOW THE DATES. WE WANT TO DO JULY 8th AND JULY 10th? >> YEAH. >> AND MAYBE THE 11th IF NEEDED? >> YEAH, I THINK THAT'S WHAT WE HAD -- >> THE 11th IN THE EVENING? >> IF NEEDED, RIGHT. >> IF NEEDED. >> YEAH, I'M FINE WITH THAT. AND I THINK WE CAN EVEN DO LIKE 9:00 TO 6:00 INSTEAD OF 9:00 TO 5:00 SO IF WE HAVE PEOPLE COMING FROM WORK, THEY CAN COME ON THE FIRST DAY, YOU KNOW. IT'S UP TO THE BOARD, BUT I'M MORE THAN OPEN TO STAYING UNTIL 6:00. WE HAVE A LUNCH BREAK AND THAT'S MAYBE LIKE AN HOUR. I WOULD BE OKAY WITH THAT. >> OKAY. SO STAFF, IS THAT ENOUGH DIRECTION FOR YOU? WE'RE LOOKING AT JULY 8th AND JULY 10th. IT LOOKS LIKE THE CONSENSUS IS -- IS THAT THE CONSENSUS? EVERYONE IS GOOD WITH DURING A DAY. >> I'M GOOD WITH JULY 8th. >> I AGREE I THINK THAT NIGHT IS IMPORTANT. SO I DON'T KNOW IF MAYBE WE CAN LOOK AT IDEAS ON MAYBE STARTING LATER AND GOING -- >> MAYBE 7:00. >> MAYBE 10:00 TO 7:00 OR 11:00 SO WE ARE GETTING OUT AND WE HAVE A FIRM END DATE OR A FIRM END TIME SO THAT WE'RE NOT SUPER LATE, BUT WE'RE COVERING THE BASES OF HAVING AN EVENING IN CASE SOMEBODY CAN ATTEND ONE NIGHT AND NOT ANOTHER. >> IF WE CAN, I'D LIKE TO LOCK UP THE DATES AND TIMES OF DAY BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PUBLISH THE AGENDAS OUT SOON AND START ADVERTISING FOR NOTICES. SOUNDS LIKE WHAT I'M HEARING IS JULY 8th, MAYBE DOING FROM 1:00 TO 8:00 IN THE EVENING BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE START AT 9:00. FIGURED THAT'S THREE HOURS UNTIL LUNCHTIME. IF YOU START AT 1:00, THAT ADD ON THE END SO 1:00 TO 8:00. JULY 11th IN THE EVENING 5:00 TO 8:00 AND THE BACKUP FRIDAY -- >> NO, WEDNESDAY WOULD BE THE SECOND EVENING. BACKUP ON THAT THURSDAY. >> CORRECT. >> I DON'T THINK ANYONE WANTS TO GO TO A BUDGET WORKSHOP ON FRIDAY NIGHT. >> CORRECT, CORRECT. >> NO, NOT FRIDAY. >> TWO EVENINGS, JULY 8th AND THEN WEDNESDAY JULY 10th IN THE EVENING AND THEN THURSDAY WOULD BE ANOTHER JULY EVENING IF IT'S A BACKUP DATE. >> AS A BACKUP, RIGHT. >> SO I. >> UST NEED THE TIMES ON THAT MONDAY. >> THE JULY THE 8th DATE, CAN WE DO -- >> 11:00 TO 7:00 OR SOMETHING. I UNDERSTAND IT'S A HOLIDAY WEEKEND. THAT'S THE MONDAY SO I'M SURE IT'S HARD TO COME RIGHT IN AND JUMP TO A BUDGET WORKSHOP. SO I'M OKAY WITH STARTING LATER IN THE MORNING, LIKE 11:00 TO 7:00. >> 11:00 TO 6:00 OR 11:00 DO 7:00. >> I WOULD SAY 10:00 TO 6:00. >> 10:00 TO 6:00? >> YES. >> LET'S START WITH THAT. IF WE DON'T NEED THE TIME AND WE'RE DONE, THEN WE'LL GO ON. >> WE CAN HAVE A SECOND DAY WHERE WE DISCUSS LIKE A SUMMARY OF EVERYTHING WE DISCUSS. >> RIGHT. >> AND WE CAN HAVE TIME. THAT'S KIND OF THE TIME WE HAVE FOR PUBLIC COMMENT LIKE WE DID LAST YEAR. >> RIGHT. >> WE DID PUBLIC COMMENT ON THE SECOND DAY, NOT ON THE FIRST DAY. >> OH, THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT UP. ANDREW, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THA? SORRY, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE PUBLIC COMMENT ON BOTH DAYS AND THAT WE DON'T JUST HAVE IT ON ONE DAY BECAUSE I THINK LAST YEAR THERE WAS SOME CONFUSION WHERE IT WAS KIND OF AN AFTERTHOUGHT. SO THEN WE HAD PEOPLE WANTING TO, YOU KNOW, HAVE INPUT AND THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO BECAUSE IT WASN'T ON THE AGENDA AND WE MISSED IT. >> SO 10:00 TO 6:00 ON MONDAY. WE CAN GO PAST 6:00 BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE A ACCOMPLISHED TIME. IF WE WANT TO GO FURTHER, WE CAN. THEN ON THE WEDNESDAY, WE'LL GO FROM 6:00 UNTIL WE FINISH AND SAME THING WITH THURSDAY AS A BACKUP STARTING AT 6:00. >> YEAH. >> OKAY. >> OKAY. >> NOW WE'RE MOVING ON. >> ATTORNEY IS ASKING ME TO MAKE SURE THAT WE AT LEAST HAVE A PROPOSED TIME. WE CAN ALWAYS EXTEND IT. 10:00 TO 6:00 ON THE MONDAY. >> RIGHT. >> 6:00 TO 8:00 ON WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. >> OR WE CAN START AT 5:30. NO, OKAY. COMMISSIONER CRUZ IS SAYING 6:00. NO WORRIES, WE CAN GIVE EVERYONE A BREAK BETWEEN WORKDAY AND COMING HERE. THANK YOU. >> THE BEAUTY OF BEING RETIRED. [LAUGHTER] >> YEAH. MUST BE NICE. >> ONE DAY, ONE DAY. >> HOPEFULLY NOT TOO LONG. >> OKAY. NOW WE'RE MOVING ON TO CONSENT. DO MY COLLEAGUES HAVE ANY ITEMS THEY WANT TO PULL IN CONSENT? I'LL START ON MY RIGHT, COMMISSIONER CRUZ, ANY ITEMS YOU'D LIKE TO PULL? >> YEAH. LET'S GO AHEAD AND PULL 6O. >> OKAY. IS THAT IT? 6O? >> THAT'S IT. >> COMMISSIONER HAY. >> WE DID HAVE I THINK AN ADD-ON ITEM FOR SWOT WHICH WAS RESOLUTION NUMBER R24 -- >> THAT WAS Q. DID YOU WANT THAT ONE OR JUST CLARIFYING? >> I READ IT, IT'S FINE. >> COMMISSIONER HAY, DO YOU HAVE ANY ITEMS YOU'D LIKE TO PULL? >> NO, NOT FOR THAT ONE. NO. >> OKAY. COMMISSIONER TURKIN, ANY ITEMS YOU'D LIKE TO PULL FROM COP SENT? >> YES. 6F, THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF CONFUSION ABOUT THAT. I RECEIVED SOME TEXT MESSAGES AND COMMUNICATIONS ABOUT THAT SO WE CAN JUST EXPLAIN WHAT THAT IS AS FAR AS THE MANGROVES GO, THAT WOULD BE GREAT. >> PERFECT. IF THERE'S NO OTHER ITEMS TO PULL, MAY I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA? >> SO MOVED. >> SECOND. >> ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. [AYES] ANY OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. OKAY. NOW WE'RE GOING TO MOVE TO ITEM 6F. LEGAL? >> YES. WE HAD A LEASE WITH THE ARCHDIOCESE WITH REGARD TO THE PROPERTY THAT THEY HAVE. AND THE LEASE TERMINATED IN 2019. WE HAVE SINCE THAT TIME BEEN TRYING TO REMOVE THE BOARDWALK BECAUSE PART OF THE LEASE TERMINATION REQUIRED US TO TURN THE PROPERTY BACK INTO THE ORIGINAL CONDITION. UNFORTUNATELY, BECAUSE OF THE MANGROVES, WE HAVE TO HAVE FDEP'S APPROVAL TO DO THAT AND WE HAD SOME TROUBLE HAVING THE LANDOWNER COOPERATE WITH US IN GETTING AN AGREEMENT AS TO WHAT THE APPLICATION SHOULD LOOK LIKE TO THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION. FORTUNATELY, THIS WAS NEGOTIATED WITH PAM RYAN WHO IS THE YOUNG LADY THAT WE BROUGHT IN. MY OFFICE CONTRACTED WITH HER TO NEGOTIATE THIS AND SHE WAS ABLE TO REACH AN AGREEMENT WITH THEM WHEREBY WE ARE ENTERING INTO A CONTINUED LEASE AGREEMENT. WE WILL WORK TOGETHER WITH THE CONSULTANT TO COME UP WITH A PROPOSAL FOR THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION. THE GOAL IS TO REMOVE THE BOARDWALK AND PRESERVE AS MUCH OF IT AS POSSIBLE FOR REUSE. AND WE HAVE UNTIL DECEMBER OF 2025 TO DO THAT WITH SOME SHORT-TERM EXTENSIONS IF NECESSARY. >> PERFECT, THANK YOU, SHAWNA. >> COMMISSIONER TURKIN, DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? >> NO, I JUST WANTED THAT EXPLANATION FOR THE PUBLIC ON THE RECORD. >> COMMISSIONER HAY, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS ITEM? >> NO. >> COMMISSIONER CRUZ, ANY QUESTIONS? >> NO. >> OKAY. CAN I HAVE A MOTION? >> SO MOVED. >> SECOND. >> ALL THOSE IN FAVOR. [AYES] ALL THOSE OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES. NOW MOVING ON TO 6O. MS. LAMB, IF YOU COULD READ IN THAT RESOLUTION. OR DO WE NEED TO READ IT IN? >> WE DON'T TYPICALLY READ THE ARES. >> OH, OKAY. >> BUT I CAN IF YOU'D LIKE. >> CAN YOU INTRODUCE THE ITEM? >> YES, THANK YOU. 6O IS THE PROPOSED RESOLUTION NUMBER R24-129 WHICH APPROVES AN AUTHORIZES THE CITY MANAGER TO SIGN AN AMENDMENT TO THE OFFICERS AND DETECTIVES SERGEANTS AND CAPTAINS COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH AND THE PALM BEACH COUNTY POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION REGARDING WAGES AND PENSION FOR THE OFFICERS, DETECTIVES, SERGEANTS, CAPTAINS OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSED RESOLUTION. >> THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER CRUZ, DID YOU HAVE BEFORE THE CHIEF SPEAKS -- DID YOU HAVE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS ITEM? >> NO, HONESTLY IT WAS JUST FOR AWARENESS. I THINK IT'S GOOD NEWS AND I THINK IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD BRIEFLY TALK ABOUT. >> ABSOLUTELY. JOE DeGIULIO, POLICE CHIEF. I WANTED TO THANK THE VICE MAYOR AND THE COMMISSION, CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY. IN THIS DAY AND AGE, IT SEEMS LIKE IT IS A VERY COMPETITIVE MARKET OUT THERE FOR QUALIFIED POLICE OFFICERS, NOT ONLY TO RECRUIT THEM AS WELL AS TO RETAIN THEM. EVERYBODY IS LOOKING FOR THAT VERY SMALL PERCENTAGE OF QUALITY PEOPLE. AND WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO BE IN A POSITION COMPETITIVELY WITHIN THE COUNTY TO CONTINUE TO RECRUIT AND, OF COURSE, RETAIN THE EXCELLENT STAFF THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE. YEARS PAST, I WOULD SAY THAT WE WOULD HIRE ROUGHLY 3% OF THE PEOPLE THAT DO APPLY OVER THE YEARS THAT NUMBER IS LESS THAN 1%. AND EVERY AGENCY IN PALM BEACH COUNTY AS WELL AS OUR NEIGHBORING COUNTIES ARE FIGHTING FOR THE SAME PEOPLE. AND TO BE ABLE TO OFFER THEM COMPETITIVE PACKAGES AS WELL AS OPPORTUNITIES, OPPORTUNITIES IS EQUALLY IMPORTANT BESIDES THE PAY TO BE ABLE TO DO DIFFERENT THINGS IN LAW ENFORCEMENT. AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT FOR US THE KEY TO THAT PART OF THE EQUATION IS STAFFING. SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN CONTINUE TO RECRUIT, WE CAN RETAIN, PROVIDE THOSE OPPORTUNITIES. ALSO BE COMPETITIVELY IN THE MARKETPLACE WHICH IS WHY WE ARE BASICALLY RECOMMENDING THE APPROVAL OF THIS AS WELL AS THE PENSION PART OF IT BECAUSE THAT IS THE ONE THING THAT WE CAN SAY WITHIN THE COUNTY THAT WE HAVE THAT NO ONE ELSE HAS. AND I WANT TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THAT AS A USED RECRUITING AND RETENTION TOOL. WHEN WE RECRUIT HAVE THE ABILITY TO PULL PEOPLE WHO ARE CERTIFIED QUALITY LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS THAT ARE CURRENTLY WORKING AND BRING THEM ON TO OUR TEAM. AND BY HAVING THE AND THE TO BRING PEOPLE IN HIGHER STEPS THAN THE TRADITIONAL STEP ZERO ALLOWS US TO BE COMPETITIVE IN THAT MARKETPLACE AS WELL. >> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, CHIEF. MY ONLY -- COMMISSIONER TURKIN, DID YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? >> NO, GO AHEAD. I'LL GO LAST. >> COMMISSIONER HAY? I HAVE LIVED IN THIS CITY A LONG TIME AND HAVE WATCHED THE POLICE DEPARTMENT STRUGGLE WITH RETENTION WHERE WE BECAME A TRAINING DEPARTMENT. AND I THINK THAT YOU, CHIEF, AND STAFF ARE MAKING STRIDES TO MAKE SURE WE'RE NOT JUST A TRAINING DEPARTMENT AND WE'RE NOT LOSING QUALITY OFFICERS TO OTHER DEPARTMENTS. I KNOW IT HAS HAPPENED IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS SINCE WE HAD AN UPDATE THAT WE WERE FULLY STAFFED. NOW WE'RE BACK DOWN A COUPLE. SO I THINK THIS IS IMPORTANT. I THINK YOU SAID YOU WERE IN THE TOP THREE AND WE DROPPED BECAUSE OTHER CITIES HAVE DONE SIMILAR MOVEMENTS TO BE COMPETITIVE, WE DROPPED DOWN TO NINTH WHICH IS WAY BELOW MANY OF OUR NEIGHBORING CITIES. SO I THINK IT'S -- I KNOW THIS WAS ON CONSENT AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S SOMETHING THAT I THINK IS IMPORTANT FOR THE RESIDENTS TO HEAR ABOUT AND THEY KNOW THAT THE STAFF AND THE COMMISSION AND THE POLICE DEPARTMENT WANTS TO MAKE SURE THAT PUBLIC SAFETY IS OUR PRIORITY. AND THE ONLY WAY WE CAN DO THAT IS BY STAYING COMPETITIVE. YOU KNOW, THE PENSION THING, YOU KNOW, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT IS MY UNDERSTANDING -- I MEAN IT'S BUDGET NEUTRAL. AND MY UNDERSTANDING IS WHEN YOU INCENTIVIZE THE OFFICERS BY GIVING THEM AN OPPORTUNITY TO RETIRE EARLY, TYPICALLY THEY DON'T. AND SO THEY STAY LONGER. BUT IT'S AN INCENTIVE TO HAVE THAT PENSION AVAILABILITY AT 20 YEARS AS OPPOSED TO LATER. SO THANK YOU FOR LOOKING INTO THAT. IF YOU COULD JUST BRIEFLY -- I KNOW THERE WAS A PUBLIC COMMENT ASKING ABOUT HOW THIS AFFECTS YOUR BUDGET AND WHERE THIS IS COMING FROM, THAT'S IMPORTANT MOVING INTO THE BUDGET CYCLE. SO IF YOU DON'T MIND JUST QUICKLY TOUCHING ON HOW YOU HAVE BEEN ABLE TO KEEP THIS KIND OF BUDGET NEUTRAL AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. >> AS FAR AS THE DOLLARS AND CENTS OF IT, I'LL PROBABLY DEFER TO OUR INTERIM BUDGET DIRECTOR, INTERIM FINANCE DIRECTOR. BUT AS FAR AS HOW WE COULD ACTUALLY ALLOW THIS TO TAKE EFFECT JULY OF THIS YEAR IS THAT WE'RE ABLE TO USE OUR SALARY SAVINGS IN THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR TO HELP START THIS JULY 1st. I'M NOT SURE IF TONY IS BACK THERE. >> YEAH, NO WORRIES. THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER HAY. >> CHIEF, YOU DID SAVE SOME MONEY ON THE FLOCK GROUP, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN. I KNOW I DIDN'T PULL THAT. THAT'S G. BUT IF YOU COULD INTERJECT SOME COMMENTS ON THAT. THAT'S G ON OUR AGENDA, THE R24- 122 WHERE WE APPROVE OR AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER FOR A TWO-YEAR AGREEMENT WITH THE FLOCK CORPORATION FOR SAFETY REALTIME CRIME CENTER ELITE PACKAGE. COULD YOU TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT AND THE COST OF $60,000 VERSUS THE 97? SO YOU ARE SAVING A FEW THOUSANDS THERE. WOULD YOU TALK ABOUT THAT? >> ABSOLUTELY. >> THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER. >> AS IT RELATES TO THAT ITEM, IT'S THE FLOCK OPERATING SYSTEM WHICH IS BASICALLY THE BRAINCHILD, THE HUB OF THE REALTIME CRIME CENTER. WE ARE CURRENTLY WITH A PRODUCT CALLED CONTROL CENTRAL AWARE. IT JUST -- RIGHT NOW IT JUST DOESN'T MEET OUR NEEDS. AND THAT MANY WHY WAS ROUGHLY $90,000 A YEAR, IT'S A SUBSCRIPTION-BASED PROGRAM. THE FLOCK OS IS $30,000 A YEAR. >> SO YOU'RE SAVING ABOUT 30,000 THERE. >> SAVING ABOUT 60. >> OKAY, 60. VERY GOOD. SO THERE'S SOME FUNDING THAT OFFSETS WHAT HE'S TRYING TO DO. >> THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER. >> YOU'RE WELCOME. >> CHIEF, SINCE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT FLOCK, REALLY QUICK, DO YOU MIND JUST BRIEFLY EXPLAINING FOR THE PUBLIC HOW INCORPORATING AND HOW THIS CHANGE WILL MAKE THE POLICE DEPARTMENT A LITTLE BIT MORE EFFECTIVE IN HOW WE'RE HANDLING CALLS AND THINGS LIKE THAT? >> AS RELATES -- >> DO YOU MIND? >> AS RELATES TO FLOCK THE OS? I'M GOING TO ASK CHIEF BONFORD TO COME UP, OUR SME AND PROJECT MANAGER. I'LL LET HIM TAKE YOU THROUGH THE MOTIONS. >> WE HAVE A LOT OF DIFFERENT SOFTWARES THAT WE'RE TRYING TO KIND OF SPEARHEAD. >> THE KEY IS CONVERGENS. >> CONSOLIDATE. >> YOU WANT TO BRING EVERYTHING INTO ONE. I'LL LET HIM DO HIS THING. >> THANK YOU, CHIEF B BONAFFAIR. >> TO GIVE YOU THE READERS DIGEST VERSION OF THE OPERATING SYSTEM, BASICALLY IT INCORPORATES EVERYTHING THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE SO LICENSE PLATE READERS, ALL THE CITY CAMERAS. IT ALSO WOULD -- IT ALSO HAS A COMMUNITY OUTREACH THING TO WHERE WE CAN GO TO BUSINESSES AND INCORPORATE THEIR BUSINESS CAMERAS. IT HAS A CAMERA REGISTRY WHICH ALLOWS US TO REGISTER EVERY HOMEOWNERS CAMERAS AND PUTS IT BASICALLY IN ONE  BIG DASHBOARD, ONE BIG MAP. WE HIT AN ICON ON TOP OF A BUILDING, A HOUSE, A BUSINESS AND GIVES US A LIVE VIEW OF THE CAMERA, A LIVE VIEW OF THE FEEDS OF THE LICENSE PLATES LIKE FELONY VEHICLES, THINGS LIKE THAT. AND I'M MORE THAN HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS NOW OR OFFLINE THAT YOU HAVE. >> THIS IS BEING UTILIZED BY OTHER CITIES RIGHT NOW. >> YES. SO RIVIERA BEACH IS HAVING GREAT SUCCESS WITH IT. THE PROBLEM IS THAT OTHER CITIES HAVE ESTABLISHED THEMSELVES WITH OTHER COMPANIES. WE CHOSE THIS PARTICULAR COMPANY BECAUSE THE EASE OF THE USE AND ITS ECONOMICAL AND THE RIGHT FIT FOR OUR PARTICULAR CITY. >> THANK YOU, CHIEF. COMMISSIONER HAY, DID YOU HAVE YOUR QUESTION -- YOU'RE GOOD? DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? >> YEAH. JUST IN TERMS OF GOING BACK TO THE BARGAINING, DOES THAT KEEN OF PUT US UP IN THE MIDDLE UPPER QUARTILE, LOWER QUARTILE? DOES THAT MOVE US AT ALL IN TERMS OF THE COMPARISON OF THE OTHER CITIES? >> YES. THE AMENDMENT WILL MOVE US TO NUMBER TWO IN THE COUNTY AS FAR AS STARTING PAY. >> REALLY? >> YEAH. >> LIKE I MENTIONED BEFORE AS FAR AS THE PENSION, I MEAN I COULD BE WRONG BUT WE'RE CURRENTLY THE ONLY CITY IN THE PALM BEACH COUNTY THAT HAS A 20-YEAR. >> EXCELLENT. >> YEAH. SOTITUS US IN A REALLY COMPETITIVE PLACE. >> I IMAGINE, THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER CRUZ. >> YES, THANK YOU. JUST WANTED TO SAY WE'RE TAKING A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. I'M VERY HAPPY TO SUPPORT THIS. I THINK IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE NEEDED TO DO. I KNOW WE WENT BACKWARD IN THAT 2019, BUT WE ARE TAKING A STEP TODAY TO GO FORWARD AND TO GO FORWARD IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION, SOMETHING THAT IS GOING TO HELP OUR DEPARTMENT, NOT ONLY WITH RECRUITMENT, BUT ALSO WITH RETENTION AND RETENTION IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING AS COMMISSIONER KELLEY STATED EARLIER. WE DON'T WANT TO BE A TRAINING PLACE WHERE PEOPLE JUST KEEP LEAVING. AND WE WASTE TIME, MONEY AND RESOURCES TO DO THAT. SO THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER TURKIN. >> ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU. EVERYONE HIT IT ON THE HEAD. I THINK WE ARE THE THIRD LARGEST CITY IN PALM BEACH COUNTY. WE'RE LOSING OFFICERS, YOU KNOW, TO DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS, FAU, NOT JUST BECAUSE OF THE PAY BUT THE BENEFITS. I THINK THE PENSION IS A GREAT INCENTIVIZER AND, YOU KNOW, THE BIG PICTURE IS HERE PUBLIC SAFETY. THERE'S NO PRICE TAG ON A CHILD. THERE'S NO PRICE TAG ON A HUMAN BEING. ULTIMATELY, THAT'S WHAT THIS COMES DOWN TO IS EVERY RESIDENT DESERVES THE RIGHT TO FEEL SAFE. AND, YOU KNOW, THIS IS A GOOD INCREASE, I THINK, AND SO I THINK WITH THIS COMES EXPECTATIONS. SO I THINK, YOU KNOW, AS WE BECOME A BETTER DESTINATION DEPARTMENT, THE EXPECTATION NEEDS TO INCREASE AND, YOU KNOW, I BELIEVE IN THIS DEPARTMENT. I'M LOOKING AT -- I DON'T KNOW -- 30, 40, 50 PBA MEMBERS RIGHT NOW. YOU GUYS KNOW I HAVE YOUR BACK. AND, YOU KNOW, LET'S MAKE THIS THE GREATEST DEPARTMENT IN THE COUNTY. SO MOTION TO APPROVE. >> SECOND. >> ALL THOSE IN FAVOR. [AYES] ANY OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. >> THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE] >> THANK YOU. >> WE'RE NOW MOVING ON TO CONSENT BIDS AND PURCHASES OVER 100,000. IF MY COLLEAGUE -- DO MY COLLEAGUES HAVE ANY ITEMS THEY WOULD LIKE TO PULL FROM 7? >> I DO. >> I HAVE NONE. >> COMMISSIONER TURKIN, DO YOU HAVE ANY ITEMS ON  7 YOU WOULD LIKE TO PULL? >> I THINK I HAVE ONE. WOULD YOU MIND COMING BACK? >> I DON'T. >> COMMISSIONER CRUZ, DO YOU HAVE ANY TO PULL FROM 7? >> NO. >> DO YOU HAVE ONE? >> NO. >> MOTION TO APPROVE. >> SECOND. >> IS YOUR MIC ON? >> SECOND, THANK YOU. >> ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? [AYES] ANY OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. WE ARE MOVING ON TO PUBLIC HEARING. WE HAVE ONE ITEM FOR PUBLIC HEARING. I'LL NOW TURN TO THE CLERK TO SWEAR IN ANYONE HERE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM. MADAM CLERK. >> IF ANYONE IS HERE TO SPEAK ON ITEM 8A, PLEASE STAND UP AND RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND. DO YOU SWEAR OR AFFIRM THAT THE EVIDENCE YOU ARE ABOUT TO GIVE WILL BE THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH? THANK YOU. YOU MAY HAVE A SEAT. >> WE WILL NOW ASK ALL MEMBERS TO MAKE DISCLOSURES BEGINNING WITH COMMISSIONER CRUZ. >> I DO NOT HAVE ANY DISCLOSURES ON THIS ITEM. >> DO YOU HAVE THE SHEET TO READ? >> OH, SORRY. THANK YOU. >> NO PROBLEM. >> AS TO THIS MATTER, I HAVE NOT HAD EX PARTE COMMUNICATIONS, I HAVE NOT CONDUCTED AN INVESTIGATION, I HAVE NOT MADE A SITE VISIT AND I HAVE NOT RECEIVED EXPERT OPINIONS OTHER THAN CITY STAFF MEMBERS. I REQUEST THAT THESE DISCLOSURES AND ALL WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS BE MADE PART OF THE RECORD. >> THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER CRUZ. COMMISSIONER TURKIN. >> AS TO THIS MATTER, I HAVE NOT HAD EX PARTE COMMUNICATIONS. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS. I HAVE NOT CONDUCTED AN INVESTIGATION. I HAVE NOT MADE A SITE VISIT.

AS FOR ME, VICE MAYOR KELLEY, 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. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED EXPERT OPINIONS. I REQUEST THESE DISCLOSURES AND ALL WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS BE MADE PART OF THE RECORD, THANK YOU. CLERK, CITY CLERK, CAN YOU PLEASE READ THE AGENDA ITEM FOR THE RECORD? >> OKAY. THIS IS TO APPROVE THE DEVELOPMENT ORDER FOR CONDITIONAL USE FOR BLUEHEART ADULT DAY CARE TO BE LOCATED AT 709 SOUTH FEDERAL HIGHWAY SUITE 1 IN THE COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL C-3 ZONING DISTRICT. >> THANK YOU. DO WE HAVE A PRESENTATION FROM CITY STAFF? OR WE HAVE STAFF THAT'S GOING TO SPEAK ON THIS MATTER? MS. LAMB, ARE WE -- SHOULD WE HEAR FROM CITY STAFF FIRST AND THEN THE APPLICANT? IS THAT THE ORDER? >> YES, WE CAN HEAR FROM CITY STAFF. AND THEN IF THE COMMISSION HAS ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT. OR WE CAN GO WITH THE APPLICANT FIRST. OKAY. GO WITH THE APPLICANT FIRST. THEN IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF CITY STAFF. >> OKAY, VERY GOOD. >> AND PUBLIC COMMENT AS WELL. >> OKAY. THANK YOU. HI, WELCOME. >> WELCOME, GOOD EVENING, CITY COMMISSIONERS. MY NAME IS OLETHA BLUE. I'M A RESIDENT, MY MOTHER AND I LONG TIME RESIDENTS IN THE CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH. MY PROPOSAL IS TO OPEN UP AN ADULT DAY CARE IN THE CITY OF BOYNTON WHICH I THINK THAT THE CITY WOULD BENEFIT OFF OF BECAUSE, AS I SAID, MY MOTHER HAS BEEN HERE, MY GRANDMOTHER HAS BEEN HERE -- WHICH IS NOT HERE ANY MORE, BUT WE HAVE A LOT OF FRIENDS, FAMILIES. AS I SAID, I'M A REGISTERED NURSE. AND I KNOW THAT THIS PARTICULAR PROPOSE WOULD BE GOOD FOR THE COMMUNITY BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT OF ELDERLY RESIDENTS IN THE CITY THAT ARE HOME BY THEMSELVES DAILY THAT HAVE CAREGIVERS THAT WORK 8:00 TO 5:00. IN MY COMMUNITY, ADULT DAY CARE IS 8:00 TO 5:30 WHICH THEY ARE BROUGHT THERE BY TRANSPORTATION TO MINIMIZE HOSPITAL ADMISSIONS, FALLS, ADMISSIONS TO NURSING HOMES. I ALSO AM A CASE MANAGEMENT MANAGER THAT ALSO PLACES RESIDENTS THAT ARE ON LONG-TERM CARE IN THESE PARTICULAR PROGRAMS THROUGHOUT THE PALM BEACH COUNTY. SO I KNOW HOW BENEFICIAL THIS IS FOR THE COMMUNITY. THIS HAS BEEN A LONG ROAD FOR US. WE HAVE TRIED IT BEFORE, HAVEN'T GOTTEN ANYWHERE. SO I WANTED TO PUSH THIS TIME BECAUSE WE SCANTLY HAVE PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY THAT COME BY AND ARE YOU OPEN, DO YOU HAVE ANY OPENINGS YET BECAUSE THEY HAVE -- IT'S A GREAT NEED FOR IT. SO WE ARE HERE STANDING AND HOPING WE GET THE CITY'S APPROVAL BECAUSE WE HAVE DEFINITELY WORKED HARD TO GET HERE. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU ALL KNOW WHAT AN ADULT DAY CARE IS. BUT I THINK THAT IT WILL BE A GREAT NEED TO THE CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH. AND IT'S NOT FAR FROM THE CITY HERE, JUST OVER THE TRACKS. AND SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE. >> WE HAVE BEEN TRYING SINCE 2012 OR 2015. >> YEAH. >> THANK YOU. DO WE HAVE -- DOES ANYONE ON THE COMMISSION HAVE ANY QUESTIONS RIGHT NOW BEFORE CITY STAFF SPEAKS? ANYONE? OKAY. >> YOU WANT ME TO MAKE A PRESENTATION? >> WELL, I MEAN EVERYBODY PRETTY MUCH KNOWS WHAT AN ADULT DAY CARE FOR THE COMMUNITY. IT PREVENTS ISOLATION. IF HE WANTS TO GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE, IT BENEFITS ADULT DAY CARE SAFE AND SUPERVISED ENVIRONMENT, FUN AND EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES, A BREAK FOR THE CAREGIVERS, LIKE I SAID. WE DO ARTS AND CRAFTS, SOCIALIZE. SOME EVEN FIELD TRIPS AND SING-ALONG. MOST OF ALL IT PREVENTS ISOLATION AT HOME AND GIVES YOU DAILY EXERCISE. WE PROVIDE ONE HOT MEAL THAT'S CATERED IN AND TWO SNACKS PER DAY. SO IT BASICALLY IN A NUTSHELL, YOU KNOW, IS MONITORING THE HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY AND ACTUALLY REDUCES THE RISK OF HOSPITALIZATIONS ADMISSIONS AND NURSING HOME ADMISSIONS. AND ALSO IT'S A BURNOUT MOST OF THE TIME FOR CAREGIVERS. SO, YOU KNOW, MANY DAY CARE CENTERS INCLUDE, LIKE I SAY, EXERCISE PROGRAMS NECESSARY FOR MAINTAINING PHYSICAL HEALTH, STRENGTH AND INDEPENDENCE IN THE HOME. YOU CAN GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE. SOCIALIZATION AND ENGAGEMENT WITH OTHER RESIDENTS IN THE COMMUNITY THAT, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES PEOPLE ARE HOME AND THEY DIDN'T KNOW THAT THEIR NEIGHBOR DOWN THE STREET MIGHT HAVE BEEN IN THE SAME AREA, SAME CITY IN BOYNTON. AND IT JUST HELPS THEM SOCIALIZE AND GET OUT OF THE HOUSE FOR AT LEAST EIGHT HOURS A DAY, FIVE DAYS A WEEK. AND THIS IS BLUEHEART. WE ARE COMING TO YOU, LIKE I SAID, EIGHT HOURS A DAY, FIVE DAYS A WEEK. AND IT'S IN A MEDICAL BUILDING, SO, YOU KNOW, WE JUST NEED THE APPROVAL, CONDITIONAL USE APPROVAL. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME TODAY. >> THANK YOU. STAFF, DO YOU WANT TO JUST KIND OF GIVE AN OVERVIEW OF WHAT THE REQUEST IS FOR THE CONDITIONAL USE APPROVAL, PLEASE? >> ABSOLUTELY. GOOD EVENING, VICE MAYOR AND COMMISSIONERS. MY NAME IS JAYOOM KIM. >> THE CLICKER IS OVER THERE. >> I'M SORRY, MAYLEE HAS IT. >> I CAN GO OVER IT REALLY BRIEFLY ABOUT THIS REQUEST. >> PERFECT, THANK YOU. >> SO THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING APPROVAL OF A CONDITIONAL USE TO OPERATE ADULT DAY CARE AT 709 SOUTH FEDERAL HIGHWAY. THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED IN C-3 ZONING DISTRICT. THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS REQUIRES THAT THE CONDITIONAL USE REVIEW APPROVAL FOR ADULT DAY CARE PROPOSING C-3 ZONING DISTRICT. THAT'S WHAT THE APPLICANT IS HERE. THE SUBJECT PROPERTY WAS CONSTRUCTED IN 2012 TO HOUSE MEDICAL AND RETAIL USES. THE PROPOSED USE WOULD BE LOCATED IN THE FORMERLY OPERATED AS A PHARMACY. THE APPROXIMATELY 2020 SQUARE FEET. THE APPLICANT PROPOSAL INCLUDES ALL INTERIOR RENOVATION ONLY. THEY DO NOT REQUIRE EXTERIOR ALTERATIONS OR BUILDING ADDITIONS AT THIS POINT. STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL FOR THIS REQUEST WITH A PROPOSED CONDITIONAL USE SUBJECT TO SATISFYING ALL COMMENTS INDICATED IN EXHIBIT D, CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL. THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION AND I'M HEAR F -- HERE FOR ANY QUESTIONS. >> THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER TURKIN, I WILL START ON MY LEFT. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT OR STAFF? >> NO. I THINK IT'S A VERY UNIQUE CONCEPT. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, IT'S IN VERY HIGH DEMAND AND SO I THINK THIS IS A GREAT ADDITION TO THE CITY. ADAM WENT OVER EVERYTHING WITH ME IN MY AGENDA REVIEW SO I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS AT THIS TIME. THANK YOU, VICE MAYOR. >> THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER HAY, DO YOU HAVE ANY? >> YES, I THINK IT'S A PROJECT THAT'S LONG OVERDUE. >> THANK YOU. >> BECAUSE I KNOW MANY -- I WOULD ASK YOU FOR THE PUBLIC'S SAKE, WHAT ARE THE AGES FOR QUALIFICATION? >> SENIOR AGE. I WANT TO SAY ABOUT 62, YOU KNOW, TO HOWEVER LONG THEY ARE HERE FOR. I WOULD LIKE THEM TO BE -- YOU KNOW, SENIOR CITIZENS, IT ALSO WOULD BE A MONITOR OF, YOU KNOW, HOW MUCH NEED THEY NEED TO COME INTO THE ADULT DAY CARE WHICH, LIKE I SAID, I'VE BEEN IN THE MEDICAL FIELD FOR OVER 20 YEARS. I'M A REGISTERED NURSE. MY MOTHER IS ALSO A CAREGIVER. >> 40 YEARS. >> YEAH. SO ABOUT 60 AND UP IS FOR THE PROPOSAL. >> OKAY. I NOTICED THE ADDRESS ON THE PHOTO HAD SOUTH AND ANOTHER ONE HAD NORTH. BUT IT IS SOUTH. >> YES, IT IS, CORRECT. >> AND WOULD YOU BE TAKING UP THAT ENTIRE BUILDING? OR JUST SUITE 1? >> JUST SUITE 1 BECAUSE THE TOP BUILDING IS ACTUALLY GERIATRIC DOCTORS AND THAT'S HOW I MADE MY DECISION FOR THE BUILDING UNDERNEATH BECAUSE WE THOUGHT THAT BECAUSE OF HE SERVICES A LOT OF THE ELDERLY RESIDENTS IN THE COMMUNITY, THAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO, YOU KNOW, HELP EACH OTHER BY THE ONES THAT ARE HOME BECAUSE A LOT OF HIS RESIDENTS -- HIS PATIENTS ARE HOME, YOU KNOW. THEY DON'T HAVE ANY CAREGIVERS. AND THAT'S HOW I KIND OF MADE THAT DECISION IN LOCATION FOR THAT PARTICULAR BUILDING. SO I WOULD JUST BE ON THE BOTTOM FLOOR. >> VERY GOOD. WELL, IF I CAN BE OF ANY HELP, JUST LET ME KNOW. >> THANK YOU. >> OKAY. >> WILL DO, THANK YOU. >> VERY GOOD. >> IF YOU KNOW ANYONE WHEN OPEN, PLEASE SEND THEM OVER THERE BECAUSE WE WILL BE GIVING THE BEST CARE. >> I WILL BE THERE. NOT AS A -- [LAUGHTER] I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU CALL THEM? A CLIENT? [LAUGHTER] >> SHE CAN DROP YOU OFF. >> IGNORE THIS GUY. [LAUGHTER] >> THAT'S IT. GOOD LUCK TO YOU. >> THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER HAY. COMMISSIONER CRUZ, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? >> ALL MY QUESTIONS WERE ANSWERED DURING AGENDA REVIEW BUT I DID WANT TO THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO FOR OUR SENIORS. AND I'M HAPPY TO SUPPORT THIS. I KNOW IT'S IMPORTANT TO HAVE, YOU KNOW, DAY CARE FOR SENIORS. AND WE UNDERSTAND THAT A LOT OF CARETAKERS HAVE TO WORK. THE ECONOMY IS -- I MEAN INFLATION IS UP THERE AND WE NEED TO -- THE COST OF LIVING IS VERY HIGH AND PEOPLE CAN'T AFFORD TO STAY HOME AND TAKE CARE OF THEIR PARENTS OR GRANDPARENTS. SO THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO. AND I'M HAPPY TO SUPPORT THIS. >> AND IT IS COST -- IT IS LESS COSTLY THAN HAVING A NURSE MYSELF GO IN FOR EIGHT HOURS. >> ABSOLUTELY. >> AND ALSO TO THE PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY, ONCE I DO START GETTING OUT THERE, I WILL START LETTING THEM KNOW ABOUT LONG-TERM CARE WHICH A LOT OF US DON'T KNOW ABOUT WHICH THE GOVERNMENT FUNDS THIS PARTICULAR PROGRAM BECAUSE IT'S NEEDED BECAUSE IT HELPS, LIKE I SAID, HOSPITAL ADMISSIONS WHICH IS MORE COSTLY. IT HELPS PREVENT NURSING HOME AND FALLS. SO I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO, YOU KNOW, BRINGING MORE -- BRINGING JOBS, CREATING JOBS ALSO IN THE CITY OF BOYNTON AND, YOU KNOW, BEING OF HELP AND SERVICE TO THE CITY OF BOYNTON. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER CRUZ. MY COMMENTS HAVE ALL KIND OF BEEN TOUCHED ON BUT I DO AGREE THAT THIS IS REALLY AN ASSET TO OUR CITY. IT'S IN A GREAT LOCATION WITH IT BEING CLOSE TO OUR SENIOR CENTER, WITH IT BEING CLOSE TO THE CLUB WHICH IS AN ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY. AND SO I, YOU KNOW -- THANK YOU AND GIVE YOU KUDOS FOR CHOOSING A FACILITY OR A LOCATION THAT HAS DOCTORS WHO SPECIALIZE IN THAT BECAUSE THAT IS WHERE YOU'RE GOING TO GET YOUR CLIENTS. AND THIS TRULY IS A NEED IN THE COMMUNITY. AND YOU TOUCHED ON IT BRIEFLY FOR CAREGIVERS. THE DAILY LOAD THAT A CAREGIVER TAKES ON IS REALLY UNMEASURABLE. AND I DON'T THINK IF YOU ARE NOT IN THAT SITUATION, YOU CANNOT APPRECIATE JUST THE MENTAL LOAD THAT 24-HOUR CAREGIVING DOES TO A FAMILY. SO THANK YOU. I SUPPORT THIS. I THINK THAT THIS WILL BE A GREAT BENEFIT TO THE CITY. AND WHEN YOU'RE UP AND RUNNING -- AND BEFORE YOU'RE UP AND RUNNING, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE LOTS OF EVENTS. YOU CAN SET UP A TABLE AND ADVERTISE. AND THE CITY WILL DO EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO GET THE WORD OUT AS WELL. WITH THAT, MAY I HAVE A MOTION? >> MOTION TO APPROVE. >> I'M SORRY, WE NEED PUBLIC COMMENT. >> WE DO NEED PUBLIC COMMENT, THANK YOU. IS THERE ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? PLEASE COME FORWARD. MS. REEDY, HAVE YOU BEEN SWORN IN? OR DO YOU NEED TO? >> BARBARA REEDY. I JUST HAD A QUESTION. >> MADAM CLERK, DO YOU NEED TO SWEAR HER IN? >> DO YOU SWEAR POUR AFFIRM THE EVIDENCE YOU ARE ABOUT TO GIVE WILL BE THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH? THANK YOU. >> I JUST HAD A THOUGHT. I DON'T KNOW IF THE CAPACITY OF THE FACILITY WILL BE COVERED BY CODE. I JUST WAS WONDERING, ARE THEY GOING TO LIMIT IT TO 50 PEOPLE? OR ARE WE GOING TO HAVE, YOU KNOW, 500 PEOPLE? THAT'S THE QUESTION. >> NO, IT IS ACTUALLY -- IT HAS TO GO THROUGH ACTUALLY CONDITIONAL USE AND FIRE AND PLANNING WITH THE STATE. SO IT IS -- I AM ONLY HOLDING UP TO 55 AT THIS TIME IS WHAT THE BUILDING WILL REQUIRE IN CODE AND FIRE. SO IT ALL HAS TO GO THROUGH THE CITY OF BOYNTON MUNICIPALITY APPROVAL AND THE STATE OF FLORIDA. SO THERE WILL NOT BE AN OVERLOAD OF PATIENTS -- I MEAN ADULTS IN AND OUT. SO NO, IT WON'T BE. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE IN THE AUDIENCE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? SEEING NONE, I DON'T SEE ANYONE ONLINE. SO WITH THAT, THIS ITEM IS NOW -- PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS ITEM IS NOW CLOSED. AND NOW, MAY I HAVE A MOTION? >> MOTION TO APPROVE. >> SECOND. >> ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? [AYES] ANY OPPOSED? DO WE NEED A ROLL CALL, MS. LAMB, ON THIS? >> YES, PLEASE, ROLL CALL VOTE. >> MADAM CLERK, IF YOU COULD DO A ROLL CALL PLEASE. >> COMMISSIONER TURKIN. >> YES. >> COMMISSIONER HAY. >> YES. >> COMMISSIONER CRUZ. >> YES. >> VICE MAYOR KELLEY. >> YES. >> MOTION APPROVES. MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. >> THANK YOU, MADAM CLERK. >> THANK YOU ALL. >> CONGRATULATIONS. >> YOU'RE WELCOME. >> CAN I JUST SAY THANK YOU FOR THE CITY OF BOYNTON DEPARTMENT? ALSO THE CITY PLANNING AND ZONING, BUILDING, THEY HAVE BEEN SO PATIENT BECAUSE I ALMOST -- I WANTED TO GIVE UP BUT THEY HELPED ME, YOU KNOW. I JUST WANT TO ESPECIALLY THANK YOU ALL AND THE CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH. WE STILL HAVE A WAYS TO GO, BUT WE'LL BE OPENING SOON AND YOU GUYS JUST -- YOU KNOW, ANY TIME YOU'RE IN THE AREA, GIVE ME A CALL OR STOP BY. >> AWESOME, WE WILL. WE LOOK FORWARD. >> WE'LL DO A RIBBON CUTTING FOR YOU. >> THANK YOU, THANK YOU. >> WOULDN'T HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY. >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> THANK YOU. >> VICE MAYOR, IF I MAY, REAL QUICK. >> YES, COMMISSIONER. >> I WAS LOOKING AT THE APPOINTMENTS EARLIER FROM THE PARKS AND REC BOARD BRUCE ROBERTS SON. FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, WASN'T THERE AN ORDINANCE PASSED THAT YOU HAD TO LIVE IN THE CITY IN ORDER TO SIT ON THE BOARD? THIS APPLICANT MARKED NO. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WAS A CLERICAL ERROR OR NOT. CAN WE JUST REVIEW THAT? >> YES, I CAN REVIEW THAT. IT WOULD DEPEND ON THE ORDINANCE. I KNOW IN SOME CASES -- >> I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S EVERY BOARD. >> SOME OF THEM REQUIRE IT CAN BE WAIVED. BUT I CAN LOOK RIGHT NOW. >> YEAH. I SAW THAT WAS MARKED NO. SO IF WE CAN JUST VERIFY THAT. >> AND THAT WAS THE PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD? >> YEAH, BRUCE ROBERTSON. >> LEGAL, IF YOU WOULD -- >> I'LL PULL THAT UP RIGHT NOW. >> WELL, AND THEN GET WITH -- >> IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE RIGHT THIS SECOND. >> WELL, DID WE APPOINT HIM? >> YES, WE DID. >> IF WE DID APPOINT HIM AND THERE'S A PROBLEM, WE SHOULD UNDO IT NOW. GIVE BEJUST A SECOND. >> I WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT UP BECAUSE IT IS A LEGITIMATE POINT. IN ALL HONESTY, WHEN, YOU KNOW, WE GET APPLICATIONS HERE AS A FINAL, THERE'S A CERTAIN LEVEL OF EXPECTATION THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY ARE ACCURATE OR THAT THEY ARE IN COMPLIANCE WITH ANY ORDINANCES. AND MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT YES, THAT THEY SHOULD LIVE IN THE CITY, WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS. >> SO JUST TO CLARIFY, AND THIS IS PROBABLY SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE CLEANED UP IN THE CODE. WHEN WE HAVE THIS DISCUSSION SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, THE DIRECTION FROM THE COMMISSION -- AND I WENT BACK AND LISTENED TO IT MANY TIMES -- WAS TO REQUIRE THE ART BOARD MEMBERSHIP TO BE CITY RESIDENTS. HOWEVER, IT DOESN'T APPLY TO ALL BOARDS. >> OKAY. >> I DON'T THINK THAT WAS THE  INTENTION OF THE COMMISSION, SO WE DO NEED TO CLEAN THAT UP BUT THAT IS THE WAY THE CODE IS WRITTEN RIGHT NOW, OTHER BOARDS DON'T HAVE TO BE BOYNTON BEACH RESIDENTS. >> THEY NEEDED TO BE ELECTORS OF THE CITY, LIKE THEY NEEDED TO BE -- >> FOR THE ART BOARD, CORRECT. >> BUT NOT ONLY RESIDENTS BUT IN ADDITION TO BEING RESIDENTS THEY NEEDED TO BE ELECTORS OF THE CITY. >> CORRECT, I'M SORRY, ELECTORS IS THE CORRECT WORD, BUT IT'S THE ONLY ONE THAT THAT APPLIED TO DURING THAT CONVERSATION, AND I WENT BACK AND LISTENED TO IT MULTIPLE TIMES TO MAKE SURE THAT I GOT IT CORRECT, IS THE ART BOARD. SO WE DO NEED TO PROBABLY GO BACK AND CONFIRM THE INTENTION OF THE COMMISSION, AND CLEAN UP THE CODEP THAT. >> OKAY, THANK YOU. >> SO I THINK MAYBE WE, WE CAN REVISIT THIS. YOU KNOW, AFTER LEGAL AND CATHERINE MAYBE TAKE A LOOK. AND THEN IF WE NEED TO BRING IT BACK, WE CAN BRING IT BACK AS A DISCUSSION ITEM. >> I SEEM TO REMEMBER THAT IT WAS EITHER OR, EITHER YOU'RE A RESIDENT OR YOU OWN A BUSINESS OR RUN A BUSINESS OR SOMETHING. SO LET'S LOOK AT IT. I'M NOT OPPOSED TO HAVING -- I MEAN I HAD RATHER HAVE THE BOARDS BE FILLED WITH QUALIFIED PEOPLE THAN NOT HAVE OUR BOARDS FILLED JUST BECAUSE YOU KNOW IF THEY'RE, BUT I'M WILLING, YOU KNOW, I'M OPEN TO HAVE THAT DISCUSSION. >> I HAVE AN ANSWER FOR YOU. >> OH, OKAY. >> OKAY SO YOU HAVE TO BE AN ELECTOR WITHIN PALM BEACH COUNTY WITH A PREFERENCE TOWARDS PEOPLE LIVING IN BOYNTON BEACH, AND TO THAT IS THE WHAT IT CURRENTLY STATES WITH REGARD TO SERVING ON BOARDS. THEY ARE, SO PREFERENCE SHALL BE TO INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE RESIDENTS OF CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH PROVIDED HOWEVER NONRESIDENTS WHO OWN PROPERTY IN THE CITY OWN A BUSINESS WITHIN THE CITY OR SERVE AS AN OFFICER, DIRECTOR OR MANAGER OF A BUSINESS LOCATED WITHIN CITY MAY ALSO QUALIFY FOR APPOINTMENT PROVIDED THEY POSSESS QUALIFICATIONS OR EXPERIENCE REQUIRED BY THE BOARD OR COMMITTEE. SO THAT'S THE PREFERENCE ORDER, BUT ESSENTIALLY ANY ELECTOR IN PALM BEACH COUNTY. >> SO. >> BUT, GO AHEAD. >> NO, I'M SORRY, GO AHEAD, COMMISSIONER. >> I WAS GOING TO SAY, THE FACT THAT WE ARE AN AUTONOMOUS BODY, THAT'S OUR CALL. WOULD THAT NOT BE A TRUE STATEMENT? >> SO TYPICALLY WE CAN WAIVE WITH REGARD TO POLICIES AND RESOLUTIONS. TYPICALLY NOT WITH REGARD TO A SPECIFIC CODE OR ORDINANCE. IF WE WANT TO CHANGE THAT, THAT IS CERTAINLY SOMETHING WE CAN CHANGE TO BE MORE SPECIFIC, SO WE COULD MAKE IT THAT TO QUALIFY TO SU SERVE ON A BOARD, IF I HEAR WHAT YOU'RE SAYIC IT HAS ALL OF THESE THINGS THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE FOR PREFERENCE AND THEN ADD A SECTION WHERE FOR CERTAIN CONSIDERATIONS, YOU KNOW THIS CAN BE WAIVED BY MAJORITY VOTE OF THE COMMISSION. >> OKAY. AND IF YOU WOULD LIKE ME TO DO THAT, I CAN PREPARE THAT AND BRING IT BEFORE YOU TO MAKE THAT AN ORDINANCE. >> THAT WOULD BE A GOOD MOVE IN MY OPINION. >> I AGREE. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT APPOINTMENT WAS VALIDATED. >> YES. >> AND THAT, YOU KNOW, WE WEREN'T INVALIDATING THIS APPLICANT, SO SOUNDS LIKE HE'S R VALIDATED TO THE CURRENT CODE, AND SO I DON'T HAVE ANYMORE QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT. AND LOOKS LIKE WE'LL HAVE A FUTURE DISCUSSION ITEM ON THIS. >> DO YOU WANT A DISCUSSION ITEM OR WOULD YOU LIKE TO GIVE ME DIRECTION TO AT LEAST PROPOSE SOMETHING. >> CAN WE DISCUSS IT? CAN WE ADD IT TO A FUTURE AGENDA THAT WE'RE GOING TO DISCUSS IT BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO MAKE, IT'S NOT AN ITEM THAT'S ON THE AGENDA RIGHT NOW, AND SO I DON'T WANT TO HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT SOMETHING THAT'S NOT ON THE AGENDA. I'D RATHER HAVE IT COME BACK BEFORE US. >> PERFECT. >> MR. KATZ, IT'S NOT NORMALLY PUBLIC COMMENT TIME, AND I'M JUST WONDERING, YOU'RE GRATING US WITH YOUR -- GRACING US WITH YOUR PRESENCE AND I'M GOING TO ASK MY COLLEAGUE PHYSICAL THEY HAVE ANY OBJECTION -- COLLEAGUES IF THEY HAVE ANY OBJECTION -- I'M ASSUMING THIS IS ON THE ADVISE REBOARD ISSUE. >> MY ONLY CONCERN AND NOTHING AGAINST YOU MR. KATZ IS IF WE LOOK AS THOUGH WE'RE GIVING CONSIDERATION TO CERTAIN INDIVIDUALS OVER OTHERS, THEN THAT COULD POTENTIALLY BE, YOU KNOW, CONSIDERED A PROBLEM IF ANOTHER PERSON AT ANOTHER TIME WERE TO COME UP AND WISH TO MAKE A COMMENT. >> OKAY. UNDERSTANDABLE. >> BUT THIS WAS NEVER AVAILABLE FOR PUBLIC COMMENT. >> WELL, WE'RE GOING TO ADD IT TO A FUTURE AGENDA AND THEN WE WILL  DISCUSS IT. >> YES, I WOULD SUGGEST WE ADD IT AS A SPECIFIC DATE. >> BUT YOU CAN REACH OUT TO ME. HAPPY TO HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS. >> SO AS I RECALL, WE HAVE HAD SOMEONE COME UP AT THIS POINT IN TIME AND WE DID NOT. >> RIGHT. >> ALLOW THEM TO SPEAK AT THAT TIME. >> IT IS CERTAINLY, THAT IS MY LEGAL ADVICE. BUT YOU KNOW, WHATEVER THE COMMISSION FEELS IS APPROPRIATE, BUT MY ADVICE WOULD BE THAT WE DO NOT. >> AND WE'RE ADDING IT TO A FUTURE AGENDA SO WE CAN HAVE THAT DISCUSSION, AND THAT IS, THAT WILL BE PUBLIC COMMENT AND WE'RE FINE. >> THANK YOU. >> THERE IS NO -- MOVING ON NOW, NUMBER FINE 9, THERE IS NO CITY MANAGER'S REPORT. THIS MEETING, THERE IS NO UNFINISHED BUSINESS. NO NEW BUSINESS THAT WE ADDED TO THIS AGENDA. LEGAL, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS THIS EVENING? >> NO, NOTHING. >> OKAY, SO I THINK WE ARE AT THE END OF THE MEETING AT 7:35. I THINK I HAVE, I THINK THIS IS A RECORD. >> 7:38. >> I WILL TAKE CREDIT FOR THIS RECORD. >> 7:35. >> MAY I HAVE A MOTION TO ADJOURN. >> SO MOVED. >> SECOND. >> MOVE TO ADJOURN. >> GOOD JOB, VICE MAYOR KELLEY. >> ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? [APPLAUSE] THANK YOU. [LAUGHTER]
