7
00:15:25.591 --> 00:15:42.340
AGENDA APPROVAL, ADDITIONS, DELETIONS AND CORRECTIONS. LET'S BEGIN ON MY LEFT WITH COMMISSIONER McCRAY. >> THANK YOU, MAYOR, I'M GOOD, THANK YOU. >> MAYOR: COMMISSIONER KELLEY. >> NO, THANK YOU, MAYOR. >> MAYOR: VICE MAYOR TURKIN. >> YES, MAYOR, I WOULD LIKE TO ADD ON A DISCUSSION FOR

8
00:15:42.340 --> 00:15:56.989
TONIGHT'S AGENDA, REGARDING THE LAND THAT WAS BEING PROPOSED FOR THE POLICE TRAINING FACILITY. AND NEXT TO 95 IN CONCURRENCE WITH THAT I WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS THE GIRL SCOUT PARK ON THE EAST SIDE OF 95 AS WELL.

9
00:15:56.989 --> 00:16:15.707
AS A DISCUSSION ITEM FOR 2C. >> MAYOR: YOU WANT TO ADD IT ON 2C. >> I'M SORRY, BEFORE, I'M SORRY, 2A. 2A. >> MAYOR: OKAY. GREAT. >> MAYOR ARE WE VING PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS?

10
00:16:15.707 --> 00:16:31.523
AGENDA. >> MAYOR: YEAH, WE ARE. >> I DON'T SEE ANY IT ON THE AGENDA. I WILL ALSO AMEND THAT WE ADD PUBLIC COMMENT TO BEFORE 3. >> MAYOR: YES. >> YEP. >> MAYOR: OKAY. >> MOTION TO APPROVE. >> SECOND. >> MAYOR: WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE AND WE HAVE A SECOND.

11
00:16:31.523 --> 00:16:47.939
ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. ALL THOSE OPPOSED SAY NAY. MOTION PASSES. WE ARE NOW GOING TO BE MOVING ONTO WHAT YOU WANTED TO, 2A. >> YEP, AWESOME, THANK YOU.

12
00:16:47.939 --> 00:17:03.655
>> MAYOR: OKAY. >> YEAH, SO AS, AS WE KNOW AS WE'VE SEEN ONLINE AS SEEN A BUNCH OF E-MAILS COME IN REGARDING THIS TRAINING FACILITY THAT THE CITY IS PROVIDING, YOU KNOW, I'VE SEEN A LOT OF, I'VE HEARD A LOT ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WE

13
00:17:03.655 --> 00:17:21.573
WANT THIS FACILITY TO MOVE FORWARD. HOWEVER, NOT THE RIGHT PLACE AND SO I'VE ALSO HEARD THAT THE CITY MANAGER'S BEING BLAMED FOR THIS, AND SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS THAT THIS BODY CONTROLS THE PURSE STRINGS AND THE BUDGET FOR THE CITY.

14
00:17:21.573 --> 00:17:39.458
SO THIS BODY VOTED UNANIMOUSLY FOR THIS PROJECT. YOU KNOW, I CAN BE THE FIRST TO SAY THAT I DIDN'T KNOW THAT THIS WAS THE SITE AND THAT'S AN OVERLOOK ON MYSELF. AND THAT'S WHERE I CAN HOLD MYSELF ACCOUNTABLE. HOWEVER, I HAVE SEEN DIFFERENT PROPOSALS ABOUT LAND DEVELOPMENT

15
00:17:39.458 --> 00:17:55.841
OVER AT THE GIRL SCOUT PARK ONLINE THAT I DON'T THINK ARE ACCURATE, AND SO WHAT I'M ASKING FOR FROM MY COLLEAGUES BASED ON THE FEEDBACK WE GOT IS TWO THINGS. FIRST, IS THAT WHEN WE LOOK AT

16
00:17:55.841 --> 00:18:12.190
CITY LAND, YOU KNOW, THAT THAT HAS A HISTORY OF BEING ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE, THAT WE'RE DOING, LIKE, SURVEYS WITH THE COMMUNITY PRIOR TO EXPENDITURES, SO SURVEYING FEASIBILITY STUDIES AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

17
00:18:12.190 --> 00:18:29.541
THAT WAY WE CAN GET A GENERAL IDEA OF WHAT THE COMMUNITY WANTS. I THINK WHEN YOU LOOK AT SOME SURVEYS WE HAVE DONE IN THE PAST, THE BOYNTON INN BEING ONE OF THOSE, NO ONE WANTS THAT HEAVY RESIDENTIAL HOUSING. THIS IS SOMETHING WE'VE BEEN

18
00:18:29.541 --> 00:18:45.390
SAYING FOR YEARS THAT PEOPLE ARE STEERED AWAY FROM THAT BUT IT'S IMPORTANT WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE OUR POLICE OFFICERS HAVE THE BEST TRAINING, HAVE THE BEST EQUIPMENT, AND THAT WE'RE SUPPORTING THEM WHOLEHEARTEDLY.

19
00:18:45.390 --> 00:19:00.872
I JUST THINK THAT YOU KNOW SOMETIMES THERE IS AN INSTITUTION WITH THE CITY, THERE IS THE INSTITUTION OF WHAT THE RESIDENTS WANT. THEN THERE IS THE INSTITUTION OF THE BODY WHICH IS TO FIND THAT BALANCE AND MAKE SURE THAT WE DELIVER FOR THE RESIDENTS AND THAT'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE, YOU KNOW, DIFFERENT AND SO WE HAVE

20
00:19:00.872 --> 00:19:18.990
TO COME TOGETHER AND MAKE THAT ALIGNED. SO I WOULD PROPOSE THAT WE DISCUSS WHAT OUR MECHANISMS ARE MAYBE RESTRICTED COVENANT, I KNOW FROM WHAT I HAVE SEEN AND

21
00:19:18.990 --> 00:19:36.308
THE E-MAILS I GOT THE PROTECTION IS THE PRIORITY FOR THIS LAST. ALSO FOR THE GIRL SCOUT, PARCEL FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW IT'S EAST OF 95, NEXT TO THE CHAPEL HILL NEIGHBORHOOD, THERE'S LOT OF CONCERN OF THAT BEING DEVELOPED IF YOU LOOK ON GOOGLE MAPS. THERE IS, IT SAYS FUTURE SITE PLAN OR FUTURE PARK PLAN RIGHT

22
00:19:36.308 --> 00:19:53.291
SO THAT WAS LITTLE BIT, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW WHERE THAT CAME FROM. BUT I'VE SEEN THINGS PASSED AROUND ONLINE. I WANT TO PUT THOSE RUMORS TO BED AND YOU KNOW HOPEFULLY HAVE A RESTRICTED COVENANT COME BACK BEFORE US TO DISCUSS BOTH, BOTH PARCELS IF THAT'S WITHIN THE

23
00:19:53.291 --> 00:20:08.874
WILL OF THIS COMMISSION. >> I DEFINITELY SUPPORT THAT. >> THANK YOU, VICE MAYOR AND THANK YOU, MAYOR. I'M IN FAVOR OF DOING WHAT VICE MAYOR JUST SAID, BUT I'M GOING TO BE HONEST. I WAS TAKEN ABACK WHEN I HEARD

24
00:20:08.874 --> 00:20:26.958
ON CHANNEL 12 NEWS WHEN IT SAID THAT A BOYNTON COMMISSIONER GUARANTEED THAT THIS WOULD NOT PASS AND I'M LIKE SAYING, DID I MISS A MEETING? OR WHAT HAPPENED? I WAS LIKE WHOA. YOU KNOW WE HAVE TO BE COGNIZANT OF WHAT WE GO ON TV AND SAY.

25
00:20:26.958 --> 00:20:43.809
WHAT WE SAID TO THE PUBLIC, WHETHER WE AGREE OR NOT, WHEN WE WALKED OUT THAT NIGHT IT WAS A UNANIMOUS VOTE. I DO UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERNS. I HAVE THE SAME CONCERNS THAT YOU ALL HAVE. BUT I DO BELIEVE IN GOVERNMENT FOR FOR THE PEOPLE AND BY THE PEOPLE. IF THIS IS THE WAY THAT WE WANT

26
00:20:43.809 --> 00:20:59.391
TO GO, THEN I'M IN FAVOR OF GOING THAT WAY BUT I DON'T WANT ANYMORE THINGS TO GET OUT SAYING THAT, YOU KNOW, I CAN GUARANTEE THAT MEANS LIKE I'M LIKE SAYING WHAT DO Y'ALL HAVE PREAGENDA MEETINGS FOR? THAT'S WHY I DON'T ATTEND THEM. I'M LIKE SAYING THIS IS A MEETING BEFORE A MEETING. SO THAT YOU ALL WILL KNOW HOW

27
00:20:59.391 --> 00:21:14.906
YOU ALL WILL BE VOTING. IT'S SENDING THE WRONG MESSAGE TO THE CITIZENS OF BUOYANTB -- BOYNTON AND ALSO TO THE STATE OF FLORIDA AS WELL AS AS THE NATIONAL, AS WELL AS UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. MEETINGS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE HELD OPENLY TO THE PUBLIC, AND EVERYBODY WHO WANTS TO SPEAK

28
00:21:14.906 --> 00:21:30.722
WILL GET A RIGHT TO SPEAK, WE GET IT RIGHT TO LISTEN BUT I'M GLAD THAT SOMEBODY HAD THE FORESIGHT TO COME BACK TONIGHT AND SAY LET US MOVE FROM THIS AND GO ON TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT AND VICE MAYOR TURKIN I WANT TO TELL YOU THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE LEAD BECAUSE I WAS DUMBFOUND

29
00:21:30.722 --> 00:21:47.506
BY HOW CAN SOMEBODY GUARANTEE A VOTE WHEN THERE ARE FIVEF US SITTING UP HERE. THANK YOU. >> MAYOR: COMMISSIONER KELLEY, DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS DIS M. >> THANK YOU, MAYOR. I GUESS THIS WILL BE DIRECTED AT STAFF. I SUPPORT THIS TO A, TO A PART

30
00:21:47.506 --> 00:22:03.488
BECAUSE I HAVE CONCERNS PORTION OF THAT LAND IS ALREADY -- HAS A BUILDING ON IT, FPL UTILIZES. WE PAY FOR THE BRIDGE ACCESS FOR FP&L ONLY. THAT LAND WAS GIVEN TO US WITH THE THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD GET DEVELOPED, WHICH IS WHY THE

31
00:22:03.488 --> 00:22:19.504
BRIDGE IS THERE. WE'RE PAYING FOR THE BRIDGE, SO WE PAY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE BRIDGE WHEN WE'RE NOT USING THE BRIDGE. SO I HAVE CONCERNS WITH WITH RESTRICTING IT. BUT THEN WE'RE, WE FP&L DEVELOPED ON IT, IT'S FP&L'S

32
00:22:19.504 --> 00:22:34.519
LAND THERE'S A BRIDGE THAT WE MAINTAIN, WE PAY FOR, AND YET WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE, WOULDN'T BE UTING ALLS THAT SPACE FOR -- UTILIZING THAT SPACE FOR ANYTHING. SO I WOULD LIKE MORE INFORMATION TO COME BACK BEFORE I CAN 100%

33
00:22:34.519 --> 00:22:49.934
COMMIT TO THAT FROM STAFF AS FAR AS WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE GOING FORWARD IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN TURN OVER TO FP&L AS FAR AS THE BRIDGE GOES FOR THEIR, THEM TO MAINTAIN BECAUSE IF WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE MAKING USE

34
00:22:49.934 --> 00:23:08.553
OF THE LAND AND LEAVING IT AS IS, I DON'T WANT TO KEEP PAYING FOR A BRIDGE WHEN WE'RE NOT USING, IT BENEFITS US NONE. ZERO VI ZILCH SO I CAN'T TONIGHT AGREE TO ANY SORT OF RESTRICTIONS OR ANYTHING BECAUSE

35
00:23:08.553 --> 00:23:25.369
OF THE LAND ALREADY BEING UTILIZED BY FP&L AND THAT WAS KIND OF A JOINT THING BETWEEN THE CITY AND FP&L MANY YEARS AGO SO I JUST WANT TO KNOW -- I NEED TO KNOW HOW THAT'S GOING TO LOOK BEFORE I CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH IT BUT I'M YOU KNOW ON THE

36
00:23:25.369 --> 00:23:42.119
SURFACE I AGREE IF YOU KNOW, I THINK WE HAVE, WE HAVE GOTTEN INTO THE, THE BUSINESS OF MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE DOING WHAT'S BEST FOR THE RESIDENTS AND FOR OUR ENVIRONMENT AND THEY'RE BUILDING LIKE CRAZY OUT WEST AND SO IF WE CAN PRESERVE LITTLE PIECES HERE ON THE EAST SIDE OF

37
00:23:42.119 --> 00:23:57.335
THE COUNTY, THEN YOU KNOW I SUPPORT THAT BUT I CAN'T SUPPORT IT RIGHT NOW BECAUSE OF THE CONDITION OF THAT LAND AND, AND WHAT'S ON IT RIGHT NOW. >> VICE MAYOR. >> COMMISSIONER CRUZ. >> WITH, WITH RESPECT FOR

38
00:23:57.335 --> 00:24:13.818
CLARIFICATION, WHAT ABOUT THE, THE GIRL SCOUT PARK DISCUSSION? BECAUSE I GUESS THE NEXT STEP FOR ME WHEN I'M PROPOSING IS A DISCUSSION FOR THESE TWO PARCELS SEPARATELY. SAME CONVERSATION I BELIEVE. ONE IS A LITTLE BIT TRICKIER AS YOU MENTIONED.

39
00:24:13.818 --> 00:24:31.936
ONE MAYBE NOT, NOT SO TRICKY. AND SO WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR IS JUST TO HAVE THESE CONVERSATIONS. >>> I PERSONALLY DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE GIRL -- I MUST'VE MISSED THAT LOOP IN THE NEWS. SO I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT PARCEL AND I WOULD WANT TO KNOW WHAT EXACTLY IT LOOKS LIKE, HOW IT'S DEEDED NOW, WHAT ITS

40
00:24:31.936 --> 00:24:49.187
PURPOSE IS TRULY FOR, WHAT THE, WHY IT WAS GIVEN TO US, AND SO YOU KNOW WHEN WE'RE -- SO I'M HAPPY TO CONTINUE HAVING THAT DISCUSSION ON BOTH OF THOSE PARCELS AND HOW IT LOOKS, AND BUT I DON'T, YOU KNOW, TO BE HONEST, DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT OTHER PARCEL. IT HAS NOT REACHED MY E-MAILS.

41
00:24:49.187 --> 00:25:05.804
>> THE HOUSES IN CHAPEL HILL WHEN YOU GO ALL THE WAY DOWN AND TAKE A RIGHT AND IT'S LIKE LITERALLY RIGHT BEHIND THEIR YARDS. >> OKAY. >> MAYOR: COMMISSIONER CRUZ. >> THANK YOU. SO JUST TO RESPOND TO A FEW OF THE COMMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN

42
00:25:05.804 --> 00:25:21.353
MADE. WHAT I SAID IS THAT EVERYTHING HAS BEEN STOPPED BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT I WAS TOLD BY MANAGEMENT. I HAVE IT IN WRITING, SO I WOULD APPRECIATE NOT TAKING MY WORDS OUT OF CONTEXT. I'M DOING MY JOB REPRESENTING MY DISTRICT.

43
00:25:21.353 --> 00:25:36.301
I GOT A TON OF E-MAILSX PHONE CALLS, TEXT MESSAGES, AND AT THE BEGINNING, YES, IN A GENERAL SENSE, I SUPPORT BUILDING A NEW TRAINING FACILITY.

44
00:25:36.301 --> 00:25:54.152
UNTIL I STARTED TO HEAR RESIDENT INPUT IS WHEN I REALLY UNDERSTOOD THE WAY THAT THE COMMUNITY FEELS AND THAT THE COMMUNITY DOES NOT WANT ANYTHING ON THAT PARCEL. SO AFTER THAT, AFTER I STARTED RECEIVING ALL OF THE

45
00:25:54.152 --> 00:26:11.236
COMMUNICATION, I STARTED TO DO MY DUE DILIGENCE MY HOMEWORK, I SPOKE TO OUR LEGAL DEPARTMENT, I REQUESTED A FULL TITLE SEARCH OF THAT LAND. I READ THROUGH ALL THE DOCUMENTS, I RECEIVED MULTIPLE MEMOS FROM OUR LEGAL DEPARTMENT. I ALSO SPOKE WITH THE GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS INDIVIDUAL FROM FP&L,

46
00:26:11.236 --> 00:26:27.719
AND ALL OF THOSE CONVERSATIONS LED TO HAVING AN UPDATE FOR THE COMMUNITY, THE WAS ORGANIZED BY THE RESIDENTS. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE RESIDENTS WERE ASKING FOR A MORE OFFICIAL TOWN HALL MEETING, AND MY UNDERSTANDING BASED ON WHAT A RESIDENT TOLD ME IS THAT THE

47
00:26:27.719 --> 00:26:43.101
OPTIONS THEY WERE GIVEN WAS THE 12th OF AUGUST, WHICH WOULD'VE BEEN TOMORROW, AND RESIDENTS WERE VERY UPSET ABOUT THAT. SO RESIDENTS DECIDED TO DO THEIR OWN MEETING, I SHOWED UP TO SPEAK TO THEM BECAUSE I THINK IT MATTERS WHEN YOU SHOW UP. WITH THAT BEING SAID, AT THE

48
00:26:43.101 --> 00:26:59.850
SAME TIME, HEARING FEEDBACK, BEING ABLE TO TALK TO ALL OF YOU, WHEN I SAID EVERYTHING'S BEEN STOPPED, I'M REFERRING TO THE SURVEY, AND ALL OF THE YOU KNOW, RESEARCH AND ALL OF THAT WORK THAT WAS PUT INTO PLACE, AND THAT IS VERBATIM THE

49
00:26:59.850 --> 00:27:15.433
INFORMATION THAT I RECEIVED FROM CITY MANAGEMENT. ONE OF OUR DEPUTY CITY MANAGERS. SO I DON'T APPRECIATE BEING ATTACKED FOR DOING MY JOB. I'M GOING TO SHOW UP FOR MY COMMUNITY ALWAYS, AND I ALWAYS HAVE, AND I ALWAYS WILL. AND IT WAS MY INTENT TO REQUEST

50
00:27:15.433 --> 00:27:31.682
A DISCUSSION TO MOVE FORWARD WITH A PROTECTIVE COVENANT FOR THIS LAND, AND YOU KNOW, THAT'S OKAY. ANOTHER ONE OF MY COLLEAGUES BROUGHT IT UP, AND THAT'S OKAY. WHAT MATTERS IS WE FIND A RESOLUTION TO THIS AND THAT WE MOVE FORWARD. THANK YOU.

51
00:27:31.682 --> 00:27:46.931
>> MAYOR: ANY OTHER COMMENTS? >> NO, I WOULD LIKE TO -- >> THANK YOU. LET ME JUMP IN HERE ABOUT THE GIRL SCOUT PARK. I'VE BIP SITTING UP HERE FOR ALMOST -- BEEN SITTING UP HERE FOR ALMOST 20 SOME YEARS AND

52
00:27:46.931 --> 00:28:02.747
EVERY YEAR SOMETHING COMES UP ABOUT THE GIRL SCOUT PARK ABOUT WE GOT TO DO THIS, GOT TO DO THAT AND WE HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING IN OVER 20 SOME YEARS. AND WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS FIND OUT A HAPPY MEDIUM, WHAT WE CAN DO WITH THIS TO MOVE FORWARD. I WANT TO CLARIFY I WAS NOT

53
00:28:02.747 --> 00:28:20.198
ATTACKING ANYBODY I WAS JUST SAYING WHAT CHANNEL 12 SAID WHEN I WAS LAYING IN BED AND I SAID THAT AS CITY COMMISSIONER FROM BOYNTON SAID, AND  I SAT STRAIGHT UP IN THE BED. I SAID WHOA, DID I MISS A MEETING. I'M NOT ATTACKING ANYONE. COMMISSIONER CRUZ, I'M GLAD YOU'RE DOING WHAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO DO. YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO LISTEN TO

54
00:28:20.198 --> 00:28:37.014
YOUR CONSTITUENTS. YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO DO WHAT THEY REQUEST OF YOU. THAT'S WHY YOU WAS PUT IN OFFICE, THAT'S WHAT EACH OF US SIT UP HERE FOR AND IF WE CAN'T LISTEN TO OUR CONSTITUENTS, THEN WE HAVE NO BUSINESS SITTING UP HERE. BUT WE HAVE TO -- DON'T FORGET THAT WE REPRESENT THEIR ENTIRE CITY OF BOYNTON. WE REPRESENT ONE DISTRICT, BUT

55
00:28:37.014 --> 00:28:54.699
WE REPRESENT THE CITY ON A WHOLE. I ADMONISH YOU FOR DOING WHAT IS RIGHT, BUT WHEN YOU SAID THAT YOU GUARANTEED AND GUARANTEED TO ME SAYS THAT YOU KNOW, WE ALREADY VOTED, AND I'M LIKE SAYING WHOA, THANK YOU. >> MAYOR: NO PROBLEM. I THINK THAT WE CAN MOVE ON

56
00:28:54.699 --> 00:29:10.014
NOW. >> YEAH, I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO BRING BACK TWO SEPARATE DISCUSSION ITEMS REGARDING EACH PARCEL INDIVIDUALLY. AND THEN MAYBE A SCOPE OF INFORMATION THAT INCLUDES, YOU KNOW, THE DIFFERENCES. I KNOW THERE'S AN FPL EASEMENT

57
00:29:10.014 --> 00:29:25.863
THERE AS WELL. AND THEN THE GIRL SCOUT I THINK IS A LITTLE BIT LESS COMPLICATED SO I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS. I CAN APPRECIATE YOU KNOW THE HAPPY MEDIUM. I KNOW THE RESIDENTS THERE WOULD LIKE TO MAINTAIN IT AS GREENSPACE. AND I WOULD ADVOCATE FOR THAT.

58
00:29:25.863 --> 00:29:42.479
SO I'M GOING TO MAINTAIN MY POSITION ON THAT BUT HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS COME BACK TO US. >> MAYOR: OKAY. >> CAN WE JUST GET A FIRM DATE? THAT WAY IF IT IS A DISCUSSION ITEM, I'LL LIKE -- >> SURE, I'M OKAY WITH, I'LL SAY THE NEXT SEPTEMBER MEETING.

59
00:29:42.479 --> 00:30:00.164
BECAUSE I KNOW WE'RE GOING TO DISCUSS THE 18th LATER ON IN THIS AGENDA. AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU GUYS HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO DO YOUR RESEARCH ON EACH PARCEL. >> I'LL CHECK WITH LEGAL. >> THAT'S MY MOTION. >> SURE TDEPENDS ON THE LEGAL END IT REALLY DEPENDS ON WHETHER OR NOT WE NEED TO ORDER TITLE

60
00:30:00.164 --> 00:30:15.145
WORK ON THE GIRL SCOUT PARK PARCEL. I ALREADY HAVE IT ON THE FP&L POLICE TRAINING FACILITY PARCEL. IF WE NEED TITLE WORK, YOU'RE LOOKING AT SEVEN TO 10 DAYS ON COMMERCIAL FOR THEM TO ORDER AND REVIEW IT AND THEN WE NEED TO

61
00:30:15.145 --> 00:30:32.230
ANALYZE FROM THERE. SO POTENTIALLY THAT CAN BE -- >> I WILL SAY FIRST MEETING IN SEPTEMBER. OKAY. >> UNDERSTOOD, THANK YOU. >> MAYOR: OKAY, WE HAVE A MOTION. DO WE HAVE A SECOND? >> SECOND I'M GOING TO SECOND IT WITH AN UNREADINESS. MY UNREADINESS IS I WANT TO TELL THE CITIZENS WHO CAME OUT

62
00:30:32.230 --> 00:30:49.781
TONIGHT, I WANT TO SAY PERSONALLY THANK YOU ALL FOR SHOWING UP. THERE IS STRENGTH IN NUMBERS. WE DID LISTEN TO WHAT YOU ALL SAID FROM YOUR E-MAILS AND ET CETERA, AND WE ARE FOLLOWING YOUR LEAD. I'M JUST SAYING AND EVER SINCE I BEEN IN BOYNTON FOR OVER 70 SOME YEARS THERE HAS ALWAYS BEEN GREENSPACE AND THAT WHAT IS --

63
00:30:49.781 --> 00:31:05.396
IS WHAT I'M GOING TO MAINTAIN AT THIS POINT, THANK YOU. >> MAYOR: WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND ABOUT ADDING THESE TWO ITEMS ON THE SEPTEMBER AGENDA. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. ALL THOSE OPPOSED SAY NAY. MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. THANK YOU. WE ARE NOW GOING TO BE MOVING

64
00:31:05.396 --> 00:31:21.813

65
00:31:21.813 --> 00:31:38.830
OKAY. THERE'S THREE -- OH WE'RE GOING TO BE MOVING ONTO 3A THEN AND PUBLIC COMMENT WILL COME AFTER. PROPOSED -- >> 2B NOW. >> WELL I HAVE 3A ON HERE.

66
00:31:38.830 --> 00:31:55.012
OKAY. OKAY. WHO'S GOING TO BE DOING THIS? >> CD-BG. >> RJ. >> MAYOR: OKAY. >> ALL RIGHT, GOOD EVENING, COMMISSIONER, MAYOR AND VICE MAYOR AND COMMISSIONERS. I'M RJ RAMIREZ THE COMMUNITY

67
00:31:55.012 --> 00:32:13.730
IMPROVEMENT MANAGER SO THIS IS A CDBG GRANT THAT WE GIVE FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT. THE REASON THAT WE PUT IT INTO THIS SPECIAL MEETING WAS BECAUSE THIS IS DUE HUD ON AUGUST 15th AND UNFORTUNATELY WE DON'T HAVE A MEETING SO I'M JUST GOING -- I HAVE A PRESENTATION THAT IS

68
00:32:13.730 --> 00:32:30.347
GOING TO JUST RUN THROUGH IT. SO THE CITY, THANK YOU, SO THE CITY SUBMITS A PLAN TO HUD IT STARTED WITH FIVE-YEAR CONSOLIDATED PLAN WHERE THE -- WHAT WE'RE GOING DO WITH THE NEXT FIVE YEARS WITH THE FUNDS WE GET FROM THE FEDS SO THE THIS

69
00:32:30.347 --> 00:32:46.931
IS THE LAST YEAR, THE FIVE-YEAR CONSOLIDATED PLAN SO WE GOT ABOUT $532,017 SO THESE FUNDS GO WITH DIFFERENT SET ASIDE PIECES OF PIE THAT IS SPLIT AROUND.

70
00:32:46.931 --> 00:33:02.814
SO 15% UP TO 50% CAN GO TO WHERE PUBLIC SERVICES TO THE COMMUNITY. THEN 10% OF IT CAN GO TO -- AND THE REMAINING CAN GO TO EITHER ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS, INFRASTRUCTURE, HOUSING, SO IN

71
00:33:02.814 --> 00:33:21.299
THESE CASE, WE DO PUBLIC PARTICIPATES, WE DID A PUBLIC MEETING WHERE MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC PUT INPUT INTO THIS PLAN WHERE THE MONEY COULD GO OR SHOULD GO SO THIS YEAR WE, I KEPT THIS FUNDS IN HOUSE BECAUSE

72
00:33:21.299 --> 00:33:37.281
WE GOT A LETTER FROM THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT RECOMMENDING THE, THE SENATE TO ELIMINATE THIS PROGRAM AND OTHER PROGRAMS, AND WE DIDN'T GET ANY NEWS FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SAYING THAT WE WERE GOING TO GET THIS PROGRAM UNTIL IT WAS TOO LATE. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS PROGRAM RUNS

73
00:33:37.281 --> 00:33:54.499
AND GRANTS RUN IN A, IN A SCHEDULE TO BE ABLE TO COMPLY WITH THEM, SO WHEN WE GOT THAT NOTICE, IT WAS A LITTLE TOO LATE NONETHELESS PLANNING AHEAD WE REACH OUT TO THE DIFFERENT CITY DEPARTMENTS WHERE -- DEPARTMENTS SUBMIT SOME APPLICATIONS, SO

74
00:33:54.499 --> 00:34:09.981
THESE FUNDS ARE GOING TO BE DISTRIBUTED IN, IN DIFFERENT WAY THAT ARE GOING TO SHOW YOU HERE ON THE SECOND SLIDE HERE. SO LET ME JUST MOVE FORWARD HERE. SO AGAIN, $532,187 THERE. THIS ONE USES PLAIN PRETTY MUCH

75
00:34:09.981 --> 00:34:25.897
THIS SLIDE HERE EXPLAIN ABOUT THE 24CFR REGULATION WON'T GO INTO MUCH DETAIL ON THAT BECAUSE IT'S PRETTY MUCH SELF-EXPLANATORY AND LIKE I MENTIONED THE DIFFERENT PROGRAM THAT CAN BE UTILIZED THESE FUNDS, PLANNING ADMINISTRATION AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND

76
00:34:25.897 --> 00:34:43.748
REHABILITATION THIS NEXT SLIDE HERE IT SHOWS THE HOW IT'S GOING TO BE UTILIZED THIS YEAR, SO WE'RE GOING TO USE $247,440 AFFORDABLE HOUSING. WE DO HOUSING REHAB, WE HAVE A COUPLE OF PROGRAMS AND THIS PARTICULAR YEAR WE'RE GOING TO

77
00:34:43.748 --> 00:34:59.897
ADD DRIVEWAY. BECAUSE THE CITY PASSED AN ORDINANCE WHERE SOME LOW-INCOME INDIVIDUAL CAN AFFORD TO ADD EXTRA DRIVEWAY TO THE HOME, AND THIS YEAR WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND BE ABLE TO TACKLE THAT TO BE ABLE TO GRANT PUT A PROGRAM IN PLACE WE'RE GOING TO GRANT UP TO $10,000 IN PLACE TO

78
00:34:59.897 --> 00:35:15.813
HOMEOWNERS WHO CAN'T AFFORD TO ADD THAT ADDITIONAL DRIVEWAY TO THEIR HOME SO THIS IS GOING TO BE PART OF THE HOUSE AND REHABILITATION. YOU KNOW IN ADDITION IT ALSO IS HOUSING REHABILITATION PROGRAM WE SERVE THOSE ELDERLY INDIVIDUAL THE HOMEOWNERS THAT

79
00:35:15.813 --> 00:35:31.662
ARE 62 AND OLDER AND/OR DISABLED WHERE WE PUT TOWARD UP TO $30,000 GRANT FOR THE HOME REPAIRS. SO AND WE DO THE WINDOWS AND WE DO THE ROOF WE DO ACCESSIBILITY, AND WE DO ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF. IT'S VERY POPULAR AMONG THE SENIOR POPULATION IN BOYNTON BEACH.

80
00:35:31.662 --> 00:35:48.479
WE ADD THIS ONE FUNDS FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF -- PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM, THE SHIP PROGRAM WHAT THEY CALL IT, FOR SHORT, FUNDS WE GET FROM THE STATE WHERE WE GOT UP TO $20,000 IN GRANT FROM THE STATE -- SO SENIOR HOMEOWNER

81
00:35:48.479 --> 00:36:04.495
WE CAN SPEND UP TO $50,000 ON GRANT FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO FIX THEIR HOME. IT'S A VERY POPULAR PROGRAM. A LOT OF SENIORS HAVE BEEN ASSISTED THROUGH THIS PROGRAM, SO YOU KNOW WE DO DEFINITELY MAKE ANOTHER CHANGES OUT THERE. IN ADDITION WE HAD THE ECONOMIC

82
00:36:04.495 --> 00:36:21.745
DEVELOPMENT, WE ASSIST IN MICRO ENTERPRISES, THOUGH BUSINESSES THAT ARE -- THOSE BUSINESSES THAT ARE CENTERED IN THE HEART OF BOYNTON SO WE ARE ASSISTING BUSINESS WITH UP TO $20,000 GRANT TO SMALL BUSINESS SO THE CATCH IS THAT THE BUSINESS HAVE TO HAVE ONE TO FIVE EMPLOYEES AND THIS ONE IS

83
00:36:21.745 --> 00:36:38.495
JUST FOCUSED ON THE HEART OF POINTEN BUT ALSO TO THE REST OF THE COMMUNITY AS LONG AS THEY'RE CONSIDERED LOW-INCOME. MEANING THAT THEY ARE JUST BARELY SCRAPING BY AND TRYING TO SURVIVE SO THESE $20,000 ASSISTANCE WE HAVE ASSIST IN SEVERAL BUSINESS WITH THAT GRANT. SO IN ADDITION WE ALSO GOING TO

84
00:36:38.495 --> 00:36:55.212
ASSIST THROUGH THE PUBLIC SECTOR, PUBLIC SERVICES WE'RE GOING TO ASSIST THE LIBRARY IS GOING TO -- THE DEPARTMENT THAT IS GOING TO GET SOME FUNDING TO ASSIST THOSE LOW-INCOME INDIVIDUAL TO BE ABLE TO GET THEIR HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA WE

85
00:36:55.212 --> 00:37:09.793
WILL GIVE THEM A SCHOLARSHIP FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO GET A SCHOLARSHIP, THOSE LOW-INCOME INDIVIDUALS THAT CAN'T AFFORD THAT. SO LET ME JUMP TO THE NEXT ONE HERE THAT IS IN DETAIL HERE. SO WE'RE GOING TO ALSO WORK THE

86
00:37:09.793 --> 00:37:28.945
USE, USE SOME OF THE FUNDS $28,000 TO THE WARD H PROGRAM THE TRAINING CAPACITY FOR SMALL BUSINESS AND LIKE ROW ENTERPRISES TO BE ABLE TO GET SOME TRAINING THROUGH THAT. SO SCHOLARSHIP AND IT'S A GREAT PROGRAM ONCE AGAIN THAT IS RUN BY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIVISION THROUGH GIGI THERE AND THEY'RE

87
00:37:28.945 --> 00:37:44.461
DOING A GREAT CHANGES. WE HAVE ALSO $28,000 THAT IS GOING TO GO TO THE BOINT POLICE DEPARTMENT TO A-- BOYNTON BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT TO ASSIST THOSE VICTIM OF VIOLENT CRIME WHERE WE CAN PUT IN MOTEL AND HOTEL IMMEDIATE SHELTER AND SOMETIMES THERE IS ALSO BEING

88
00:37:44.461 --> 00:38:00.778
ASSIST IING IN QUITE A FEW INDIVIDUAL THAT UNFORTUNATELY ARE GOING THROUGH THIS CIRCUMSTANCES. ALSO THESE PROGRAMS ASSIST HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS AS WELL, AND WE PAIR THIS PROGRAM WITH SOME SHIP FUNDING THROUGH RAPID REHOUSING PROGRAM THAT WE ASSIST HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS TO BE ABLE TO FIND SOME PERMANENT SHELTER.

89
00:38:00.778 --> 00:38:16.226
SO WHICH IS A PROGRAM THAT ALSO IS VERY POPULAR AS WELL AND UNFORTUNATELY, YOU KNOW WITH THE MONEY THAT WE GET FROM THE STATE WE WISH WE COULD DO MORE WITH THIS, BUT NONETHELESS WE ASSIST AS MUCH AS WE CAN SO WE GIVE THEM $10,000 TOWARDS RENT THAT IS PAIRED WITH THESE OTHER

90
00:38:16.226 --> 00:38:31.842
PROGRAMS THAT IS RUN THROUGH THE BOYNTON BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT. SO SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND IS SOMETIMES FIRST OF ALL WE CAN'T ASSIST SOME OF THE CLIENTS IS THERE IS ALL THE CITIZENS OUT THERE IS BECAUSE THIS PROGRAM, THEY ALL HAVE RESTRICTIONS WHEN IT COMES TO INCOME.

91
00:38:31.842 --> 00:38:47.624
SO AND THAT'S GOING TO VERY SAD BROKE MY HEART WHEN I GET INDIVIDUAL THAT ARE HOMELESS THAT THEY HAVE A JOB. AND YOU KNOW AND SOMETIMES UNFORTUNATELY THEY CAN'T GO THROUGH THAT THRESHOLD OR INCOME TO BE ABLE TO ASSIST THEM UNFORTUNATELY IT'S, IT BREAKS MY

92
00:38:47.624 --> 00:39:03.640
HEART. SO WE HAVE, FAIR HOUSING PROJECT THIS ONE IS A REQUIREMENT FOR THE CITY TO HAVE THE FAIR HOUSING KEY ELEMENTS ON THE CITY BECAUSE WE GET ABOUT $20 MILLION IN GRANTS FROM THE STATE THAT HAVE TO HAVE THE FAIR HOUSING WHICH MEANS THE LEGAL

93
00:39:03.640 --> 00:39:20.257
AID SOCIETY WE BE PARTNERING WITH THE LEGAL AID SOCIETY THIS YEAR WE GOING TO DO A CONTRACT WITH THEM. WE USUALLY OPEN IT UP AS PART OF THE NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION NOTICE OF FUNDING BUT THIS YEAR WE'RE GOING TO DO A CONTRACT WITH THEM, AND IT'S TO BE ABLE TO EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE LEGAL RIGHTS WHEN IT COME TO THE

94
00:39:20.257 --> 00:39:37.941
DISCRIMINATION ON FAIR HOUSING SO WE DO THREE WORKSHOPS HERE AT THE COMMUNITY ROOM EVERY YEAR. IN ADDITION THE LEGAL AID SOCIETY DO SOME LEGAL REPRESENTATION TO THOSE INDIVIDUALS ESPECIALLY ELDERLY INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE, YOU KNOW SOMETIMES FACE DISCRIMINATION FROM THE EITHER HOA OR APARTMENT

95
00:39:37.941 --> 00:39:54.925
BUILDING AND EVERYTHING SO LEGAL AID DEFINITELY GIVE THEM GREAT HELP THERE. YEP, IT I THINK THAT'S IT THERE. >> I HAVE A QUESTION. >> YES, GO AHEAD. >> WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE UNSHELTERED PERSONS AND VICTIMS OF VIOLENT CRIME, DOES THAT

96
00:39:54.925 --> 00:40:10.507
INCLUDE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE VICTIMS? >> ABSOLUTELY. YES. THAT'S PART OF IT. YEAH. SO WHAT HAPPENED WITH THIS PROGRAM HOW WE GOT STARTED IS BECAUSE IT GOT TO THE POINT THE POLICE OFFICER WERE GETTING MONEY OUT THEIR POCKET TO BE ABLE TO PAY FOR HOTEL NIGHT WHEN THEY FIND SOMEONE ON THE STREET

97
00:40:10.507 --> 00:40:26.657
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT 3:00 A.M. SO WITH THIS PROGRAM WE HAVE A WAY FOR OR EVEN YOU KNOW SOMETIMES VICTIM OF VIOLENT CRIME GET DROPPED AT THE POLICE STATION AND THEN THE POLICE STATION THE POLICE OFFICER DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THIS PERSON SO WITH THIS PROGRAM THEY CAN FIND IMMEDIATE SHELTER AT HOTEL WE GOT SOME VENDORS THEY CAN BE

98
00:40:26.657 --> 00:40:43.106
PLACED ON UP TO FIVE NIGHTS UNTUL WE CAN FIND OTHER -- UNTIL WE CAN FIND COUNTY RESOURCES DEPENDENTING WHAT THE CASE MAY BE BECAUSE EACH CASE IS DIFFERENT. SOMETIMES THEY HAVE TO HAVE A YOU KNOW THE CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICE OR WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE. SOME OF THE PEOPLE ARE ALSO READY FOR HAVE TO BE ABLE TO GET A PERMANENT HOUSING IN FIVE

99
00:40:43.106 --> 00:40:59.990
DIFFERENT SITUATIONS, SO THESE PROGRAMS IS A, IS VERY EXCELLENT AND I HEARD A LOT OF GOOD COMMENTS ABOUT IT. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU. >> ABSOLUTELY. >> MAYOR: ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMISSION? >> I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS. RJ, FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT THAT LIKE I SAID OF FACE WITH A

120
00:46:28.952 --> 00:46:48.504
AND WE WILL START WITH YOU, MR. KATZ. >> ON? ON NOW? DAVID KATZ, BOYNTON BEACH. THREE WEEKS AGO I WAS VERY FORTUNATE WITH TWO FAMILY MEMBERS TO HAVE A TOUR OF THE REAL-TIME CRIME CENTER. IT WAS ABSOLUTELY INTERESTING, AMAZING, AND AS A RESIDENT, REASSURING. WE EVEN GOT A DEMONSTRATION OF

121
00:46:48.504 --> 00:47:04.888
THE DRONES. AND I TURNED TO THE CHIEF DURING THE DEMONSTRATION, I SAID THIS IS NOT YOUR DAD'S POLICE DEPARTMENT ANYMORE. AND IT'S NOT. IT'S REALLY AMAZING. A FEW DAYS AFTER HAVING HAD THE TOUR OF THE REAL-TIME CRIME CENTER, I STARTED THINKING, AND I TOOK INTO CONSIDERATION WHAT

122
00:47:04.888 --> 00:47:22.472
IT RECENTLY HAPPENED I IN LAS VEGAS. THERE IS SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE, THE RESIDENTS OF OUR CITY SHOULD KNOW ABOUT POLICE OFFICERS. THEY THE POLICE OFFICERS KNOW WHAT PEOPLE ARE CAPABLE OF IN WAYS THAT MOST THANKFULLY DO NOT. THEY HAVE SEEN FIRSTHAND THE

123
00:47:22.472 --> 00:47:40.090
CIGARETTE BURNS ON INFANTS' BACKS, OR THE BLACK EYES AND THE SIDEWAYS JAW ON AN 80-YEAR-OLD RAPE VICTIM. AND THEY ASSUME THE WORST. AND THEY TAKE THAT ON SO THE GOOD, DECENT, LAW-ABIDING PEOPLE CAN GO ABOUT THEIR LIVES, THINK

124
00:47:40.090 --> 00:47:57.007
GENEROUSLY ABOUT THEIR FELLOW MAN. THAT'S A LUXURY THAT THEY PROVIDE. I SUGGEST THAT WE ALL BE THANKFUL FOR THEIR SERVICE. THANK YOU. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU. NEXT PLEASE. >> HIGH, I'M STACY. I LIVE DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM THE PROPERTY THAT WAS BEING CONSIDERED FOR THE POLICE

125
00:47:57.007 --> 00:48:13.289
TRAINING CENTER. I CAME HERE TONIGHT WITH SEVERAL GOALS. FIRST, I WANT TO EXPRESS GRATITUDE TO ALL OF YOU FOR LISTENING TO US, FOR HOLDING A TOWN HALL, WE HAD 100 PEOPLE SHOW UP, I'VE LIVED IN GULF VIEW HARBOR FOR 30 YEARS AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN THAT MANY PEOPLE ATTEND ANY MEETING.

126
00:48:13.289 --> 00:48:31.141
PEOPLE ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT THIS SUBJECT. I ALSO WANT TO THANK YOU FOR COMMITTING TO WORKING COOPERATIVELY WITH US GOING FORWARD ON WHAT HAPPENS ON THAT PROPERTY. WE WANT TRANSPARENCY, AND WE WANT TO BE INCLUDED EVERY STEP

127
00:48:31.141 --> 00:48:52.295
OF THE WAY AND IN RETURN, WE'LL WORK TRANSPROPERTILY AND COOPERATIVELY WITH YOU. NEXT I WANT TO THANK OUR BOYNTON BEACH CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT FOR EVERYTHING THEY DO TO KEEP OUR CITY STAFF. WE KNOW THE RISKS THEY TAKE AND I WANT TO COMMIT TO WORKING IN

128
00:48:52.295 --> 00:49:06.443
ANYWAY WEA WE CAN TO HELP THEM GET THE FACILITY THEY NEED IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. THE PROPERTY IS STILL A RARE GEM DESPITE THE SUBSTATION AND THE HIGH VOLTAGE POWER LINES. EVERY MORNING I SEE FISHERMEN CAST THEIR LINES IN FRONT OF IT. I WATCH LIMPCON CHICKS LEARNING

129
00:49:06.443 --> 00:49:26.396
HOW TO FISH FOR SNAILS, I SEE OSPREY. IT'S SPECIAL. I TELL YOU THIS SO YOU UNDERSTAND I AND MY NEIGHBORS ARE REALLY COMMITTED TO PRESERVING THIS GREENSPACE. IT'S NOT JUST FOR US.

130
00:49:26.396 --> 00:49:42.011
IT'S FOR ANYONE WHO BOATS AND IT'S FOR THEIR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN QLV. I DO THOUGH WANT TO RAISE SOME CONCERNS ABOUT HOW THIS PROCESS WENT. THE CITY HAS BEEN WORKING ON THIS GOING BACK TO NOVEMBER, AND THE COMMUNITY WAS NEVER INCLUDED IN THE CONVERSATION UNTIL AFTER YOU COMMITTED TO SPENDING HALF A

131
00:49:42.011 --> 00:50:00.530
MILLION DOLLARS OF OUR MONEY. THAT'S SHOCKING TO ME. MY SECOND CONCERN IS THAT SOMETHING THIS SIGNIFICANT WOULD, SOMETHING -- AM I OUT OF TIME? OKAY. MY SECOND CONCERN IS THAT THIS WAS PLACED ON A CONSENT AGENDA,

132
00:50:00.530 --> 00:50:16.012
AND THAT NONE OF YOU ASKED QUESTIONS. YOU DIDN'T ASK WHO THE OTHER BIDDERS WERE FOR THE WORK, YOU DIDN'T ASK IF THE NEIGHBORHOOD HAD BEEN -- CONTACTED, AND YOU DIDN'T ASK ABOUT EASEMENTS OR DEED RESTRICTIONS. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE PROPERTY IS DEED RESTRICTED AND IT'S

133
00:50:16.012 --> 00:50:31.461
LOADED WITH EASEMENTS, AND ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT RESTRICTIONS IS THAT THE DEEDS SET FROM DECEMBER 17th AT 1996 SAYS NO PERMANENT STRUCTURES CAN BE BUILT ON THE PROPERTY. NOW, HOW COULD YOU GET THIS FAR WHEN THE DEED SAYS THAT?

134
00:50:31.461 --> 00:50:49.479
AND IF THIS IS A SURPRISE TO YOU, HOW COULD IT BE A SURPRISE TO YOU? FINALLY, I HAVE AN EXTREME CONCERN THAT AN EFFORT IS COMING FROM MEMBERS OF YOUR CITY STAFF TO INTIMIDATE PEOPLE IN THE

135
00:50:49.479 --> 00:51:05.962
NEIGHBORHOOD AND OUR CITY COMMISSIONER BY DOING A RECORDS REQUEST FOR COMMUNICATIONS WITH US. >> MAYOR: TIME IS UP. >> IT FEELS LIKE HARASSMENT AND INTIMIDATION, AND IT SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. >> MAYOR: MA'AM, YOUR TIME IS UP. >> SO LET'S WORK TOGETHER GOING FORWARD. THANK YOU. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU.

136
00:51:05.962 --> 00:51:21.377
NEXT PLEASE. [APPLAUSE] >> NEXT, PLEASE. >> OKAY, SUSAN OYER, BOYNTON BEACH. SO WE HAVE A MYSTERY IN OUR CITY, AND THAT MYSTERY IS THAT

137
00:51:21.377 --> 00:51:39.462
WE ARE MISSING $100,000 PIECE OF ART. AND I HAVE BEEN EMAILING BACK AND FORTH TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT THE STATUS IS AND I'M NOT GETTING VERY FAR BECAUSE I STOPPED GETTING RESPONSES. SO WHAT YOU ARE GETTING FROM ME RIGHT NOW, THE FIRST PAGE FRONT AND BACK, EXPLAINS THE HISTORY

138
00:51:39.462 --> 00:51:54.944
OF THE BLOOMER TREE PIECE OF ART, AND I KNOW SOME OF YOU LIKE COMMISSIONER McCRAY, THE MAYOR, HAVE BEEN HERE FOR OVER 20 YEARS, COMMISSIONER KELLEY'S BEEN HERE OVER 20 YEARS, SO YOU'VE SEEN THIS PIECE. YOU KNOW THIS PIECE, BUT EVERYONE ELSE ON THE DAIS MAY NOT HAVE SEEN THIS PIECE ALONG THE WAY.

139
00:51:54.944 --> 00:52:11.294
THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR PIECES IN BOYNTON BEACH THAT WE EVER GOT. IT WAS WORTH $100,000 IT WAS GIFTED TO OUR CITY IN 2015. AND I'M WORRIED BECAUSE APPARENTLY, AS, AND I'M INCLUDED THE OTHER PAGES ARE ALL THE

140
00:52:11.294 --> 00:52:26.409
EMAIL CHAIN I HIGHLIGHTED THE DATES FOR YOU AND THE TIMES SO THAT YOU CAN SEE THAT THIS PIECE APPARENTLY GOT DECOMMISSIONED. IT HAS BEEN DAMAGED MULTIPLE TIMES. BUT I'M WORRIED BECAUSE APPARENT ELA IT WAS PUT IN A BOX IN

141
00:52:26.409 --> 00:52:42.358
PIECES, AND IS ALLEGEDLY BY YOU KNOW THE AMPHITHEATER STORAGE OVER HERE BUT YET PUBLIC WORKS IS SAYING THEY CAN'T FIND IT. SO WHERE IS THAT BROKEN $100,000 PIECE OF ART? THAT HAS BEEN REPAIRED A COUPLE TIMES BECAUSE IT WAS PUT IN INAPPROPRIATE PLACES AND ALLOWED

142
00:52:42.358 --> 00:53:00.110
TO BE DAMAGED OVER AND OVER. AND THEN I'VE SOMEONE HAS REACHED OUT TO RICK BALLOU WHO IS A LOCAL ART EXPERT. HE'S AN ART APPRAISER. HE'S AN ART SELLER. HE'S AN ARTIST. HE HAS OFFERED TO TAKE A LOOK AT AND SEE IF THERE IS A SOME WAY THAT HE COULD FIX IT BECAUSE HE

143
00:53:00.110 --> 00:53:15.959
IS THE LEADING ARTIST IN HIS FIELD IN THIS AREA. AND I'M NOT GETTING RESPONSES BACK. YOU'LL ACTUALLY SEE THE SECOND PAGE AT THE TOP IS THE MOST RECENT EMAIL I SENT, AND IT'S THE WHOLE CHAIN. YOU'LL SEE I'VE NEVER GOTTEN A

144
00:53:15.959 --> 00:53:31.774
RESPONSE TO MY LAST EMAIL. ASKING TO GO SEE THIS PIECE, AND OFFERING TO BUY IF I POSSIBLY COULD THE BOX OF PIECES. BECAUSE I HATE TO THINK THAT THERE IS $100,000 PIECE OF ART THAT'S NOW MISSING IN OUR CITY, AND NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW OR

145
00:53:31.774 --> 00:53:47.323
CARE, AND EXCEPT ME. SO I'M ASKING YOU THE COMMISSIONERS TO ASK THE CITY MANAGER TO INVESTIGATE THIS. AND FIND OUT WHERE THIS PIECE IS. THIS PIECE IS BELOVED AND I KNOW THE MAYOR USED TO DRIVE BY THIS ALL THE TIME. THIS PIECE SPARKLED IN THE SUN

146
00:53:47.323 --> 00:54:04.974
EVERY AFTERNOON IN FRONT OF THE OLD CITY HALL, AND IT WAS EXCEPTIONAL AND YOU CAN'T FIND ANYONE IN THIS CITY WHO DIDN'T LOVE IT.

147
00:54:04.974 --> 00:54:20.790
FIND IT, I'M WILLING TO PAY $100 OR SO FOR A BOX FULL OF BROKEN PIECES. BUT I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS PIECE. IT'S ALWAYS BEEN MY FAVORITE PIECE AND I KEEP BRINGING THIS UP AND NOT HEARING ANYTHING SO I'M OFFICIALLY DOING IT, THANK YOU. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU. NEXT PLEASE,. >> GOOD EVENING, FOLKS.

148
00:54:20.790 --> 00:54:38.074
MY NAME IS DAVE HOOVER. I'MI'M A RETIRED FIREFIGHTER MY FATHER WAS A LAW ENFORCEMENT INOFFICER. TYPICALLY TRAINING CENTERS ARE NOT PUT NEAR RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS. THEY'RE NORMALLY PUT IN COMMERCIAL AREAS. IF YOU LOOK AT ALL OF THE GUN AREAS AND SHOOTING RANGES,

149
00:54:38.074 --> 00:54:56.292
THEY'RE IN COMMERCIAL AREAS. PUTTING SOMETHING LIKE THAT THIS CLOSE TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD IS GOING TO INTERRUPT OUR PEACE AND ENJOYMENT OF OUR PROPERTY. PLEASE RECONSIDER PUTTING THIS TRAINING FACILITY IN A COMMERCIAL AREA. I BELIEVE STRONGLY IN TRAINING,

150
00:54:56.292 --> 00:55:12.375
AFTER 30 YEARS IN THE FIELD MYSELF TRAINING WHAT IS MAKES US AUTOMATIC. POLICE OFFICERS NEED TO BE AUTOMATIC WITH THEIR WEAPONS, PRACTICE IS ESSENTIAL. BUT THIS IS THE WRONG PLACE, BOTH ACROSS FROM GULF VIEW HARBOR OR THE GIRL SCOUT CAMP. THESE ARE RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS, THEY SHOULD REMAIN QUIET. THANK YOU. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU, SIR.

151
00:55:12.375 --> 00:55:28.891
[APPLAUSE] NEXT PLEASE. >> I'M SUSAN GEARY, I ALSO LIVE IN GULF VIEW HARBOR. AND I JUST WANT TO SAY FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO TELL COMMISSIONER CRUZ THANK YOU FOR COMING OUT

152
00:55:28.891 --> 00:55:46.242
AND SEEING US WHEN WE ASKED FOR DISTRICT 1 SOMEBOD TO SPEAK WITH US. [APPLAUSE] I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO COMMEND THE MAYOR FOR REACHING OUT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YOU KNOW, WE'RE HOPING OBVIOUSLY TO GET A CHANCE TO SPEAK WITH YOU, AND THE REST OF THE

153
00:55:46.242 --> 00:56:01.758
COMMISSIONERS ABOUT THIS SITUATION. THAT INCLUDES COMMISSIONER KELLEY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE NICE EMAIL. AND ALSO YOU KNOW, COMMISSIONER TURKIN. I KNOW WE'RE VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT THIS, BUT WE ALSO ARE

154
00:56:01.758 --> 00:56:17.574
EXTREMELY PASSIONATE ABOUT THE BOYNTON BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT. WE REALLY, REALLY, REALLY WANT OUR OFFICERS SAFE. I'VE SEEN THESE FACILITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY. I'M NOT BEGRUDGING THAT. THEY NEED THIS.

155
00:56:17.574 --> 00:56:35.225
IT'S PROBABLY A $25 MILLION OR MORE PROJECT, BUT THEY NEED IT. AND I DO APPRECIATE YOU -- [APPLAUSE] WE WANT TO KEEP YOU SAFE AND US SAFE TOO. SO IT'S NOT THE FACILITY. AS YOU KNOW. IT'S THE LOCATION. AND WE KNOW THAT THE PROPERTY IN

156
00:56:35.225 --> 00:56:52.342
BOYNTON IS GETTING SMALLER AND SMALLER AND LESS THAN THE CITY OWNS. WE'RE VERY COGNIZANT OF THAT. BUT WHAT WE DO HAVE, WE REALLY WOULD LIKE TO PRESERVE. AND THIS IS IN AN ODD, ODD SPOT. I DO REALIZE THERE IS THE BRIDGE MAINTENANCE OF 1952 AS IT WAS

157
00:56:52.342 --> 00:57:07.656
BUILT AND MADE OUT OF CONCRETE. I KNOW IT'S BEEN HEAVILY USED BY FPL. I'M VERY WELL AWARE OF THAT. MORE THAN I'VE SEEN, 101 CARS A DAY CROSS ACROSS THAT BRIDGE. NOT RIGHT. [LAUGHTER] BUT WE HAVE TO SPEAK WITH OUR NEIGHBORS A LITTLE MORE ABOUT

158
00:57:07.656 --> 00:57:23.406
THAT I THINK. I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE US MAKE A MOVE IF WE COULD TO TAKE THIS PROPERTY AND PUT IT MORE INTO A PROTECTIVE STANCE. I KNOW YOU CAN'T OVERTURN THE NEXT, THE NEXT MAYOR. BUT IF WE COULD TRY TO GET SOME

159
00:57:23.406 --> 00:57:40.557
SORT OF RESTRICTIVE COVENANT OR A CONSERVATION MAYBE THE CITY ATTORNEY WOULD BE ABLE TO LOOK INTO THIS, LOOK FOR THEIR FEW MORE CLAUSES THAT CAN BE PUT INTO PROTECT THIS PROPERTY. AND I THINK IT WOULD BE HEALTHY FOR THE CITY, AND I KNOW YOU GOT

160
00:57:40.557 --> 00:57:56.205
A LOT GOING ON WITH THE AG RESERVE AND YOU KNOW YOU GOT ALL SORTS OF STUFF GOING ON. I WOULDN'T WANT TO BE IN YOUR SHOES. I AGREE WITH THAT. BUT LET MEAL TEYOU ONE THING -- LET ME TELL YOU ONE THING. THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY IS WORTH EVERYTHING WHAT THEY'RE SAYING, AND YOU ARE CURRENTLY

161
00:57:56.205 --> 00:58:13.923
LOOKING INTO THE LENNAR DEVELOPMENT PROPERTY. YOU ARE CONSIDERING WHETHER THE PROPERTY CONTAINS THREAT NDZ -- THREATENED OR ENDANGERED SPECIES. WE WOULD APPRECIATE THAT TOO. PEOPLE HAVE SEEN GOPHER TORTOISES, THEY DO HAVE WOOD STORKS, YOU KNOW, WE DO HAVE

162
00:58:13.923 --> 00:58:30.573
THE -- YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT AN ENVIRONMENTALIST. SO I REALLY WANT THIS LOOKED INTO A LITTLE MORE CLEAR. BECAUSE ONCE IT'S GONE, IT'S GONE. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU. >> AND I WANT TO THANK YOU AGAIN. >> MAYOR: SIR?

163
00:58:30.573 --> 00:58:46.255
[APPLAUSE] >> GOOD EVENING, COMMISSIONERS. JUSTIN GILBERT WITH LANDMARK DEVELOPERS, REGARDING THE CITY VIEW DEVELOPMENT WHICH IS THE ELDERLY DEVELOPMENT THAT WE'RE GOING TO, WE PROPOSED LAST YEAR. WE GOT FUNDING FROM BOYNTON BEACH. DO YOU RECALL? >> I DO. >> OKAY. JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU A QUICK UPDATE.

164
00:58:46.255 --> 00:59:04.606
WE DID RECEIVE FUNDING FROM PALM BEACH COUNTY. SO WE ARE GOING TO BE MOVING FORWARD WITH THIS PROJECT. WE'RE EXPECTING PROBABLY CONSTRUCTION WILL BE STARTING SOMETIME IN, JUNE JULY OF NEXT YEAR, I'M ALREADY IN THE SECOND AND THIRD ROUNDS OF SITE PLANNING WITH YOUR, WITH THE

165
00:59:04.606 --> 00:59:21.390
JOHN STOUT OVER AT THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT. AND ZONING DEPARTMENT, SO JUST TO SAY THEY'RE DOING GREAT OVER THERE. THEY'RE VERY DILIGENT ON THEIR COMMENTS AND THEY HAVE BEEN VERY HELPFUL. AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO MEETING WITH, WITH YOUR STAFF REGARDING THE FUNDING AGREEMENT. WE'RE HOPING TO GET THAT FUNDING

166
00:59:21.390 --> 00:59:38.374
AGREEMENT SIGNED UP THIS YEAR, BECAUSE WE WANT TO MOVE AS FAST AS WE CAN ON THIS PROJECT AND I WANT TO COME AND SAY THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR FUNDING BECAUSE WITHOUT YOUR FUNDING IT WOULDN'T HAPPEN. SO YOU WERE THE FIRST STEP IN WE DO APPRECIATE EVERYTHING YOU GUYS DID FOR US ON THAT. THANK YOU. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU.

167
00:59:38.374 --> 00:59:55.057
NEXT PLEASE. >> GOOD EVENING, HARRY WOODWORTH, BOYNTON BEACH. I CAME TO TALK ABOUT THE SAME THING THAT MR. KATZ WAS SPEAKING ABOUT, THE CRIME CENTER. FLOCCULE RR USE THE WORD BUT I'M TALKING ABOUT -- FLOCK, I'LL USE THE WORD.

168
00:59:55.057 --> 01:00:12.675
PHLOX, AXON THE N, RED SPEED, AND ALL THE OTHER STUFF WE'VE BOUGHT, WE'VE SPENT $3.2 MILLION ON THAT STUFF, SO FAR, MOST OF IT WAS DONE QUIETLY FIRST MILLION DISAPPEARED WITHOUT A SOUND. IN MARCH YOU GUYS SPOKE UP ABOUT

169
01:00:12.675 --> 01:00:30.659
THE $7.07 MILLION, 10-YEAR CONTRACT, PUT IT ON HOLD, PROBABLY NOT A BAD DECISION. IN JUNE YOU TALKED ABOUT $2.2 MILLION YOU MADE CHANGES FROM FLOCK TO AXON FOR THE DRONES. WE DON'T HAVE TO ALL AGREE ON THAT BUT I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU GUYS SINCERELY FOR BRINGING UP THOSE TWO VERY UNCOMFORTABLE

170
01:00:30.659 --> 01:00:46.075
CONVERSATIONS. I KNOW THERAPY UNCOMFORTABLE FOR YOU BECAUSE THEY'RE PERCEIVED AS DEFUNDING THE POLICE, THEY ARE NOT. BUT THAT'S WHAT I KNOW YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH, SO I APPRECIATE YOU BROUGHT THAT UP, TOOK A LOT OF COURAGE, IT BROUGHT A LOT OF TRANSPARENCY TO SOMETHING THAT IS NOW YOU LOOK AROUND THE

171
01:00:46.075 --> 01:01:02.491
COUNTRY, AND YOU SEE HAS NOT BEEN TRANSPARENT ANYWHERE. SO YOU GUYS TOOK THE LEAD IN MARCH. YOU STAYED ON IT IN JUNE, WE DON'T HAVE TO TO AGREE ON THE DECISIONS, BUT YOU HAD THE COURAGE TO TALK ABOUT IT PUBLICLY WITH TRANSPARENCY, AND IT'S AN UNPOPULAR SUBJECT AND

172
01:01:02.491 --> 01:01:19.375
IT'S GOING TO GET LOT MORE UNPOPULAR BECAUSE NOW THE PUBLICS WOKE UP. NEXT WEEK IS AWARENESS WEEK. 20,000 PEOPLE ARE GOING TO SPEAK AT COMMISSIONS ACROSS THE COUNTRY ABOUT FLOCK. AND A LOT OF THEM ARE MISINFORMED. THAT'S UNFORTUNATE. JUST TO BE CLEAR, IT'S NOT THE

173
01:01:19.375 --> 01:01:34.890
TECHNOLOGY. IT'S THE MISUSE OF THE TECHNOLOGY, THE MISUNDERSTANDING OF PRIVACY AND FREEDOM N, AND A WHOLE LOT OF OTHER THINGS WE DON'T HAVE TO TALK ABOUT HERE. MADISON COVERED IT 250 YEARS AGO. READ ABOUT IT. I WOULD LIKE TO SAY AGAIN THAT IT'S A HOT TOPIC, IT'S GOING TO

174
01:01:34.890 --> 01:01:51.908
KEEP COMING UP, I WOULD ASK YOU GUYS SINCERELY TO STAY THE COURSE LIKE YOU HAVE FOR THIS TOPIC, BRING IT UP, IT'S UNCOMFORTABLE AS HELL, BRING IT UP AND TALK ABOUT IT AND KEEP THE TRANSPARENCY OUT THERE BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO GET A LOT HOTTER THAN IT IS NOW. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS WATCH

175
01:01:51.908 --> 01:02:08.491
JOHN OLIVER HE TOOK HIS WHOLE SHOW ON THE 2nd TO THE LEVEL. EVERY NIGHT ON THE NEWS YOU NOW SEE A FLOCK STORY AND IT'S GOING TO GET A WHOLE LOT WORSE. THE JUNE SUPREME COURT HEARING CELT A FUSE ON FIRE THAT WILL PROBABLY BURN OUT MID-28 WHEN THE NORFOLK CASE MAKES THE

176
01:02:08.491 --> 01:02:25.608
SUPREME COURT BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE KEEP THIS A PUBLIC TRANSPARENT CONVERSATION SO WE ALL COME TOGETHER ON SOMETHING THAT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE DIVISIVE. AND IT'S UP TO YOU AND THE CITIZENS TO NOT MAKE IT DIVISIVE AND THAT'S ALL I'M ASKING

177
01:02:25.608 --> 01:02:41.724
TONIGHT. THANK YOU. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE] NEXT, PLEASE, ON THE RIGHT. >> MY NAME IS TONY. FOR THE PAST 21 YEARS I'VE LIVED DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM THE WOODS THAT ARE BEING PROPOSED TO BE TORN DOWN. THE NUMBER 1 REASON WHY WE

178
01:02:41.724 --> 01:02:58.808
BOUGHT OUR HOME WAS BECAUSE OF THESE WOODS. I THINK I CAN SPEAK FOR BOTH MYSELF AND OUR RESIDENTS IN THAT ONE OF THE THINGS WE LOVE ABOUT BOYNTON IS THE PARKS AND THE DESIGNATED GREEN AREAS. THERE IS A REASON WHY WE CHOSE TO LIVE IN BOYNTON BEACH AND NOT MIAMI OR FORT LAUDERDALE. IT WAS A PUNCH TO THE STUMMING

179
01:02:58.808 --> 01:03:16.158
FINDING OUTTHOSIS WOODS AND THE WILDLIFE AND WOODS WE SEE IN THEM EVERY DAY WILL BE TAKEN AWAY. I DO THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO SUPPORT OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THE JOB THEY DO. I BLAME NONE OF YOU FOR INITIALLY SUPPORTING THIS. IN THEORY IT SOUNDS GREAT. YOU HAVE A CITY MANAGER TELLING YOU THAT THIS WOULD BE GREAT FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. AND THE CITY HAS A PIECE OF LAND

180
01:03:16.158 --> 01:03:32.775
WITHOUT ANYTHING OTHER THAN WOODS TO PUT IT ON. YOU WOULD ALSO NATURALLY ASSUME HE DID HIS JOB AND WOULD TELL YOU FOUR OF THE ACRES ARE IN FACT DEEDED BY FPL AND RESTRICT ANY PERMANENT STRUCTURE FROM BEING BUILT ON THAT LAND. YOU ALSO WOULDN'T HAVE KNOWN THAT THESIS WOODS ARE ONE OF THE LAST PLACES FOR WILDLIFE TO FIND SHELTER IN EAST BOYNTON BEACH.

181
01:03:32.775 --> 01:03:49.792
AS THEY GREW UP, I TAUGHT MY THREE KIDS TO NOT ONLY IDENTIFY BUT TO APPRECIATE THE NATIVE BIRDS AND WILDLIFE THAT LIVE IN THESE WOODS. ONCE THESE WOODS ARE GONE, THE WILDLIFE IS GONE FOREVER. RESPECTFULLY, ANY COMMISSIONER THAT SAYS THE CITY GETS NOTHING OUT OF THIS LANIS -- LAND IS

182
01:03:49.792 --> 01:04:05.875
DEAD WRONG A. CITY IS MORE THAN JUST ITS BUILDINGS AND ITS PROJECTS. COUNTLESS STUDIES HAVE EXPRESSED WHAT NATURE AND WOODS DO FOR QUALITY OF LIFE, INCLUDING MY OWN. TO LOOK AT THE WATER AND WOODS WHILE COOKING OR EATING DINNER WITH MY FAMILY IS PRICELESS. FURTHERMORE, AS A REALTOR, I CAN STATE FOR A FACT THERE IS

183
01:04:05.875 --> 01:04:21.924
DEFINITELY GOING TO BE A PRICE TO PAY FOR THIS GUN RANGE BY OUR RESIDENTS. GULF VIEW HARBOR IS A WORKING CLASS NEIGHBORHOOD FILLED WITH TEACHERS AND FIRST RESPONDERS AMONG OTHERS. AND THIS WILL DESTROY OUR PROPERTY VALUES. WHENEVER I SHOW HOMES CLOSE TO 95, ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS PEOPLE NOTE IS THE SOUND OF THE TRAFFIC.

184
01:04:21.924 --> 01:04:38.040
I'VE HAD NUMEROUS BUYERS TELL ME THAT THEY ABSOLUTELY LOVE A HOME, BUT THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BUY A HOME THAT HAS TRAFFIC NOISE RIGHT IN THEIR BACKYARD AND THAT'S ALL THEY CAN HEAR AND THAT'S WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO GULF VIEW HARBOR. THESE WOODS SERVE AS AEROCOMMUNITY'S ONLY BUFFER

185
01:04:38.040 --> 01:04:53.355
VISIBLY AND AUDIBLY BETWEEN 95 AND THE TRAIN TRACKS. WE KNOW THIS IS GOING TO BE AN UPHILL BATTLE. WE KNOW OUR CITY MANAGER IS A RETIRED POLICE -- TO BE CLEAR THIS ISN'T A BAD THING. HOWEVER IN THIS CASE, THERE HAS TO BE BETTER ALTERNATIVESS THAN

186
01:04:53.355 --> 01:05:10.206
TAKING AWAETHESE WOODS FROM NOT ONLY US BUT FUTURE GENERATIONS AS WELL. I KNOW FROM THE ACTIONS OF SOME OF YOU THE RESIDENTS ARE VIEWED AS A BUNCH OF RABBLE YOU MUST MINDLESSLY LISTEN TO BEFORE HAVING THESE WOODS TORN DOWN. I ALWAYS LOVE THE SPEECH FROM JIMMY STUART WHERE HE SAID THIS RABBLE, THE RABBLE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, THEY DO MOST OF

187
01:05:10.206 --> 01:05:26.956
THE WORKING AND THE PAYING, AND THE LIVING AND THE DYING IN THIS COMMUNITY. IS IT TOO MUCH FOR US TO ASK TO KEEP DESIGNATED GREENSPACE GREEN AND LET US LIVE IN THE COMMUNITY WE ALL LOVE WITHOUT DESTROYING ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS WE ALL MOVED HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE? HUGE THANK YOU TO COMMISSIONER CRUZ. I WAS AT THE MEETING. SHE HAD ONLY SAID THAT THE

188
01:05:26.956 --> 01:05:40.836
PROJECT WAS BEING STOPPED TEMPORARILY. AND SHE WAS VERY CLEAR THAT IT'S NOT -- THIS ISN'T DONE. THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE TONIGHT BUT MAYBE WITH YOUR VOTES, YOU CAN JOIN WITH HER AND PASS THE CONSERVATORY FOR THIS AND TURN THIS PERMANENTLY INTO A RESERVE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU. [APPLAUSE]

189
01:05:40.836 --> 01:06:02.491
NEXT PLEASE. >> HOPEFULLY I WILL BE ABLE TO SEE THIS. I PULLED THE WRONG GLASSES. GOOD EVENING, MADAM MAYOR AND HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THE CITY COMMISSION. MY NAME IS MARY SMALL, I'M A PALM BEACH COUNTY RESIDENT, AND

190
01:06:02.491 --> 01:06:20.009
PRESIDENT OF THE CITY OF REFUGE INC. CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT INSTITUTE. I AM HERE THIS EVENING TO EXTEND AN INVITATION TO PRESERVE AN IMPORTANT CHAPTER OF BOYNTON BEACH HISTORY, NOT TO REVISIT THE PAST WITH BLAME, BUT TO PRESERVE IT WITH HONESTY, SO

191
01:06:20.009 --> 01:06:37.325
THAT FUTURE GENERATIONS INHERIT A COMPLETE UNDERSTANDING OF THE PEOPLE, PLACES, AND EVENTS THEY SHAPE THE CITY. OVER THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS, I HAVE RESEARCHED BOYNTON BEACH'S HISTORY USING THE CITY'S OWN HISTORICAL RECORDS, MUNICIPAL ORDINANCES, ARCHIVAL MATERIALS,

192
01:06:37.325 --> 01:06:52.641
AND OTHER PUBLICLY AVAILABLE SERVICES. THAT RESEARCH LED ME TO ORDINANCES 37 AND 47, ADOPTED IN 1924 WHICH ESTABLISHED LEGALLY DEFINED WHITE AND NEGRO RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS. I ALSO REVIEWED ORDINANCE 136

193
01:06:52.641 --> 01:07:10.092
ADOPTED IN 1933 WHICH IMPOSED A RACE BASED NIGHTTIME CURFEW RESTRICTING ADULTS FROM ENTERING THE RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS ASSIGNED TO THE OTHER RACE EXCEPT UNDER LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES. THESE ORDINANCES REMAIN PART OF THE CITY'S HISTORICAL RECORD, UNTIL THIS COMMISSION FORMALLY

194
01:07:10.092 --> 01:07:27.176
REPEALED THEM IN 2024. AS I CONTINUED MY RESEARCH, I FOUND EVIDENCE SUGGESTING THAT PORTIONS OF THE PROPERTY OCCUPIED BY THE CURRENT KITTY HALL CAMPUS -- CITY HALL CAMPUS MAY HAVE ONCE FALLEN WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF THE FORMER NEGRO DISTRICT, NEGRO DISTRICT IN

195
01:07:27.176 --> 01:07:42.892
QUOTATION MARKS. IF THAT IS CORRECT, CITY HALL ITSELF OCCUPIES LAND CONNECTED TO AN IMPORTANT CHAPTER OF BOYNTON BEACH HISTORY. I RESPECTFULLY ASK THE CITY TO VERIFY OR REFUTE THAT FINDING THROUGH IT'S OWN HISTORICAL AND

196
01:07:42.892 --> 01:07:58.640
GIS ANALYSIS. ACCORDINGLY I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THE CITY COMMISSION DIRECT STAFF TO PREPARE AN ENLARGED MAP OF THE 1924 NEGRO DISTRICT OVERLAY ON A CURRENT GIS MAP OF BOYNTON BEACH SUCH A MAP WOULD HELP THE COMMISSION

197
01:07:58.640 --> 01:08:16.192
RESIDENTS HISTORIANS AND PRESERVATION PROFESSIONALS BETTER UNDERSTAND THE HISTORIC BOUNDARIES OF THE DISTRICT AND DETERMINE WHETHER SIGNIFICANT PORTIONS OF THE COMMUNITY, INCLUDING PUBLIC PROPERTY, CHURCHES SCHOOLS CEMETERIES BUSINESSES, AND SURVIVING NEIGHBORHOODS, REMAIN IN TACT TODAY. I ALSO RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT

198
01:08:16.192 --> 01:08:33.341
THE COMMISSION AUTHORIZE A PROFESSIONAL FEASIBILITY STUDY TO DETERMINE WHETHER HISTORICALLY AFRICAN AMERICAN NEIGHBORHOODS INSTITUTIONS AND CULTURAL RESOURCES QUALIFY AS DESIGNATION FOR ONE OR MORE LOCAL HERITAGE NEIGHBORHOODS, A HERITAGE DISTRICT, OR HERITAGE

199
01:08:33.341 --> 01:08:50.492
TRAIL, OR WHERE APPROPRIATE, RECOGNITION THROUGH THE STATE OF FLORIDA OR THE NATIONAL REGISTRY OF HISTORIC PLACES. THE STUDY SHOULD INCLUDE HISTORIC RESEARCH, GIS MAPPING, ORAL HISTORIES, PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT, AND CONSULTATION WITH PRESERVATION PROFESSIONALS, NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTS, CHURCHES HISTORIANS

200
01:08:50.492 --> 01:09:07.176
EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS, AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS. THANK YOU. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR. [APPLAUSE] >> HELLO, EVERYONE, MY NAME IS HUNTER. I'M 16 YEARS OLD, AND HAVE LIVED

201
01:09:07.176 --> 01:09:23.325
MY WHOLE LIFE ACROSS FROM THE WOODS THAT YOU GUYS MAY TEAR DOWN. I'VE BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH TO GROW UP WHERE I DO AND I'M ASKING THAT YOU GUYS WORK TO SAVE THESE WOODS SO THAT OTHER STUDENTS AND KIDS CAN APPRECIATE THE WILDLIFE AND THE WOODS JUST AS I HAVE GROWN TO DO. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT YOU

202
01:09:23.325 --> 01:09:38.841
GUYS KNOW WHAT YOU COULD BE DESTROYING. IN THESE WOODS, WE'VE SEEN OSPREY, PEREGRINE FALCONS, WOOD STORKS, TRICOLOR HERONS, AMERICAN KESTRELS, SCRUB JAYS, BLUE JAYS, CARDINALS, RED

203
01:09:38.841 --> 01:09:56.258
SHOULDERED HAWKS, ROSEATE SPOON BILLS, PILEATED WOODPECKERS, RUCOONS, POSSUMS, GRAY FOX, AND EVEN A BALD EAGLE IN THESE WOODS. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING, AND PLEASE HELP US TO SAVE THESE WOODS THAT HAVE BEEN SUCH A BIG

204
01:09:56.258 --> 01:10:13.776
CH PART OF MY CHILDHOOD. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU, NEXT, PLEASE. [APPLAUSE] >> GOOD EVENING, THANK YOU FOR LETTING US SPEAK FOR A MOMENT. I AM IN THE OPPOSITE SIDE IN BOYNTON LEISUREVILLE AND I CAME HERE TO SUPPORT MY GULF VIEW

205
01:10:13.776 --> 01:10:30.325
NEIGHBORS WHO I SPEND A LOT OF TIME IN THEIR COMMUNITY RAISING MONEY FOR THE BOYNTON BEACH POLICE. SO I'M IN FAVOR OF EVERYBODY. BUT I ALSO KNOW THAT WE CAN'T GET OUT OF OUR COMMUNITY ANYMORE. I LIVE THERE FOR 24 YEARS. AND TO GET OUT OF SOUTHWEST 18th STREET, OR CAMP NELLY, TO

206
01:10:30.325 --> 01:10:48.610
MAKE A LEFT, IS NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT GETTING KILLED HALF THE TIME BECAUSE YOUR LIFER IS TOTALLY IN YOUR HANDS. MORE TRAFFIC WITH A PERMANENT BUILDING AND A -- AND AMOUNT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO BE PUT OVER THERE IF THIS GOES THROUGH IS GOING TO BE DETRIMENTAL NOT ONLY TO GULF VIEW HARBOR BUT TO

207
01:10:48.610 --> 01:11:03.993
BOYNTON LEISUREVILLE THAT WE HAD TO PUT SPEED BUMPS IN BECAUSE SOMEONE WAS HIT AND HURT REALLY BADLY BECAUSE THE PEOPLE COME OFF 95, CUT RIGHT THROUGH WOOLBRIGHT, CUT THROUGH 18th NOT TO HAVE TO GO AROUND CONGRESS WITH MORE TRAFFIC THAT'S GOING TO BE MORE OF THAT GOING ON.

208
01:11:03.993 --> 01:11:22.811
WE CAN'T PUT IN WE CAN'T PUT IN GATES BECAUSE OF THE WAY OUR COMMUNITY IS SET UP, WE WOULD HAVE TO HAVE EIGHT GATES JUST IN THE AREA WHERE I LIVE. SO I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW THAT I'M SPEAKING BOTH FOR THE POLICE, YES, THEY NEED TRAINING CENTERS. NOT THAT ONE. OKAY? I'M SPEAKING FOR GULF VIEW

209
01:11:22.811 --> 01:11:39.528
HARBOR WRES BECAUSE THEY'RE MY NEIGHBORS, I GO THERE ALL THE TIME, WE CAN'T GET OUT OF OUR COMMUNITY TO CROSS OVER THERE. SO I THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME, AND PLEASE PUT THIS UNDER REALLY SERIOUS CONSIDERATION BECAUSE IN BOYNTON BEACH LEISUREVILLE ARE MANY

210
01:11:39.528 --> 01:11:56.778
ELDERLY PEOPLE. THERE ARE MANY ACCIDENTS THAT HAVE HAPPENED. THEY ARE SIMPLY WALKING THEIR DOG AND ARE CUT OFF THE ROAD FROM PEOPLE CUTTING THROUGH. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> MAYOR: NEXT, PLEASE. SIR? SIR? SIR.

211
01:11:56.778 --> 01:12:13.162
>> HELLO AND THANK YOU. ANOTHER RESIDENT OF BOYNTON BEACH IN GULFVIEW HARBOR. >> MAYOR: CAN YOU STATE YOUR NAME. >> DAN ADEL. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU. >> SO WHEN WE FIRST MOVED THERE, DOWN THE CANAL, YOU KNOW, WE LIVE OFF THE WATER AND WE WOULD BOAT DOWN THE CANAL THAT'S ONE OF THE REASON WE PURCHASED THERE

212
01:12:13.162 --> 01:12:30.845
BECAUSE OF HOW SPECIAL THAT AREA WAS. AND IN FACT, ALONG THE CANAL, THERE USED TO BE A LOT OF WILDLIFE AND A LOT OF INTERESTING PEERS AND IT WAS JUST BEAUTIFUL. BUT THEN LAKE WORTH WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT CAME IN, THEY SAID THEY HAD TO CLEAR ALL OF THAT OUT, AND ALL THAT BEAUTY

213
01:12:30.845 --> 01:12:46.495
GOT SCRAPED AWAY. AND NOW IT'S ALL CLEAR. AND WE -- WE SAID OKAY, IT'S FOR THE GREATER GOOD. THEN YEARS LATER AFTER THAT THEY DID THE SAME THING FURTHER DOWN THE CANAL AND THERE WAS A SECTION OF WOODS THAT WERE ON

214
01:12:46.495 --> 01:13:03.277
THE OTHER SIDE OF 95 AND THEY TORE ALL OF THAT AWAY AND TOOK AWAY ALL OF THAT BEAUTY FOR THE GREATER GOOD AND WE SAID OKAY, YOU KNOW, IT NEEDED TO BE DONE. THEN THEY BUILT THE SOUND BARRIER BUT THEY DIDN'T BUILD IT

215
01:13:03.277 --> 01:13:21.997
NEXT TO 95 WHICH I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND. THEY BUILT IT IN FRONT OF THE WOODS AND WE SAID OKAY, IT'S BETTER THAT WE CAN PREVENT THE SOUND OF THIS UGLY CONCRETE SOUND BARRIER VERSUS HAVING IT NEXT TO 95. GREATER GOOD. AND NOW HERE WE ARE AGAIN,

216
01:13:21.997 --> 01:13:38.313
SURELY ALL OF THE BEAUTIFUL ECVISIT THINGS PART OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD ARE BEING STRIPPED AWAY AND I'M JUST LIKE WHEN'S ENOUGH ENOUGH? IT'S EVENTUALLY IS JUST GOING TO BE COMMERCIAL, PARKING LOTS, BUILDINGS, AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE ANY WOODS WHATSOEVER? AND IT JUST MAKES ME SAD BECAUSE

217
01:13:38.313 --> 01:13:53.295
IT JUST CHANGES THE WHOLE QUALITY OF LIFE IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. [APPLAUSE] >> MAYOR: THANK YOU. NEXT PLEASE.

218
01:13:53.295 --> 01:14:11.847
>> ALYSSA THORN, I ALSO AM FROM GULF VIEW HARBOR, I LIVE ON 27th AVENUE, WHICH IS NOT QUITE NEXT TO THE CANAL. WE AGREE THAT WE DO NEED THIS TRAINING CENTER, AND WE'RE SUPPORTIVE 100% OF THE POLICE

219
01:14:11.847 --> 01:14:26.594
DEPARTMENT. MY CONCERN PERSONALLY IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN ALL THE OTHER ISSUES THAT WE'VE ADDRESSED. I LOVE NATURE. I LOVE THAT MY KIDS CAN GO OUTSIDE AND SEE BIRDS, I LOVE MY SENSE OF COMMUNITY, AND I'M SO PROUD OF EVERYBODY WHO SHOWED UP

220
01:14:26.594 --> 01:14:44.446
LAST WEEK. AND LIVING ON 27th AVENUE, I LIVE ON AN ARTERY THAT PEOPLE CUT THROUGH. ONE OF THE REASONS I BOUGHT MY HOUSE 14 YEARS AGO, IS BECAUSE IT WAS A SAFE NEIGHBORHOOD. IT'S A UNIQUE COMMUNITY BECAUSE WE HAVE ALL SORTS OF WORKING

221
01:14:44.446 --> 01:15:00.662
CLASS FAMILIES THAT LIVE THERE, WE DON'T HAVE SIDEWALKS. I DON'T WANT TO TURN THIS INTO A TRAFFIC PROBLEM, BUT AS SOMEONE WHO'S BEEN HIT BY A VEHICLE, I CANNOT WRAP MY BRAIN AROUND ADDING SOMETHING THAT IS GOING TO INCREASE THE TRAFFIC THAT'S

222
01:15:00.662 --> 01:15:15.844
ALREADY THERE. WE HAVE NOISE, NATURE, THE TRAFFIC, WE HAVE ALL THESE THINGSED IN CONSIDERATION, I'M NOT SAYING THAT WE DON'T WANT IT, WE JUST DON'T WANT IT THERE, AND I HOPE THAT WE CAN BE MORE COLLABORATIVE TOGETHER AND HAVE

223
01:15:15.844 --> 01:15:32.527
THESE DISCUSSIONS, SO YOU CAN SEE AWL THE THINGS GOING INTO THIS, AND INTO THE THAT IT'S FREE LAND AND WE'RE PAYING FOR A BRIDGE. THANK YOU. >> MAYOR: THANK YOU. IS THERE ANYONE ONLINE? >> NO, MAYOR, THERE IS NO ONE ONLINE.

224
01:15:32.527 --> 01:15:50.645
>> MAYOR: GREAT. >> I WANT TO MAKE A QUICK COMMENT. I WANT TO SAY THAT I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THE PROPOSAL TO BRING FORWARD THIS POLICE TRAINING FACILITY WAS IN ANYWAY MALICIOUS, IT'S SOMETHING WE NEED, AND THAT WAS LAND THAT WAS

225
01:15:50.645 --> 01:16:08.397
AVAILABLE. UNFORTUNATELY, WE HAVE TO FIND OUT THE HARD WAY IT'S NOT THE RIGHT LOCATION. I DON'T WANT THE PUBLIC TO THINK IT'S SOMETHING THAT WAS ILINTENT. DURING THE TOWN HALL, THERE WAS A COMMENT ABOUT, WHY DO YOU KEEP

226
01:16:08.397 --> 01:16:25.613
COMMENTING BACK TO GULF VIEW HARBOR? IT'S NOT ANYTHING AGAINST GULF VIEW HARBOR, IT'S LOOKING FOR A LOCATION THAT WE DIDN'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO PAY FOR LAND ADDITIONALLY. ONE OTHER THING, I WANT TO CLARIFY FOR THE PUBLIC WITH REGARD TO PUBLIC RECORDS REQUEST

227
01:16:25.613 --> 01:16:43.065
IS, ALL OF YOUR ELECTED OFFICIALS, ANY COMMUNICATION YOU SEND TO YOUR ELECTED OFFICIALS, IN WRITING AND WHETHER IT'S AN EMAIL OR TEXT MESSAGE, CAN BE REQUESTED AND THAT'S JUST THE LAW. SO I'M JUST LETTING YOU KNOW SO THAT IF YOU MAY HAVE HAD A TEXT

228
01:16:43.065 --> 01:17:00.682
MESSAGE WITH ME OR WHAT NOT, THERE HAVE BEEN A COUPLE NEIGHBORS I HAD TEXT MESSAGES WITH, I INFORMED, HEY, I GOT A KWRKS AND I'M GOING TO BE SUBMITTING IT, I THINK IT'S THE RESPECTFUL THING TO DO. I DON'T WANT TO DISCLOSE

229
01:17:00.682 --> 01:17:15.964
ANYONE'S TEXT MESSAGES WITHOUT DISCLOSING THAT TO THEM. >> MAYOR: DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY FINAL COMMENTS FOR THIS MEETING? >> SECOND. >> MAYOR: ALL IN FAVOR? >> AYE. >> MAYOR: OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES, THIS MEETING IS

230
01:17:15.964 --> 01:17:30.379
ADJOURNED AT 7:03. STAFF WILL TAKE A -- HOW LONG DO YOU NEED? 10 OR 5? 10 MINUTE BREAK, AND THE JOINT MEETING OF THE CITY COMMISSION AND CRA WILL BEGIN.

>> None, chair. >> Um Vice Mayor Commissioner Kelly. >> No, I'm good. Thank you, Mayor. >> Thank you. I I I don't know why no one is saying anything about the last affair that we had downtown here. I'm just said I know it was a while since we had it, you know, but I can still remember it.

8
00:03:51.440 --> 00:04:07.800
Uh I just want to say to staff, you know, it was 2 days long, it was awfully hot, but thank you for doing a job well done, very well attended. Everybody had fun, and it was I don't know how many people you had, but the crowd was astronomical. I kept sitting there, I didn't move, I just said, "Look at all

9
00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:23.160
the people." I had no idea we had so many people living in Boynton, but thank you. >> Yeah, I heard nothing but wonderful things about it. Unfortunately, I was out of town, but I'm still upset I missed the roller skating rink. >> Mhm. >> Next time. >> Next time. >> Uh, we are now moving on to public

10
00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:44.200
audience. If anyone would like to speak, now is the time to come on down. >> Okay, Harry Woodward, Boynton Beach. I just wanted to bring up a real quick thing. It's It's not really a a a topic. Uh, it's come up the last couple weeks in our neighborhood. We got an Airbnb, and and you guys are making decisions

11
00:04:44.200 --> 00:05:00.120
about what's coming with the overlay and other things, and I'll do the same thing when the commission meeting comes up, but we've managed to address the the parking, we've managed to address the trash pickup, and and done exceptional on both those areas. The thing we we're really failing at in

12
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:16.400
my neighborhood, and I've talked around the community, is the noise thing. So, I had an incident with my $4 million Airbnb next door. Uh, they're paying $1,000 a night, they party hearty. Uh, that means I can't use my backyard, my patio, and this weekend it meant I

13
00:05:16.400 --> 00:05:32.760
couldn't sleep in my house with two double pane storm windows, cuz we couldn't have a conversation. Um, fixed that problem. Same thing happened the week before. 12:30 in the evening, this time I let it go till 11:30, I wasn't as benevolent the second time around.

14
00:05:32.760 --> 00:05:49.400
I talked to the owner, who says, "Oh, you should call me." Yeah, at 12:30 I'm going to call somebody in a hey Anus Board in a $4 million mansion up there, and they're going to do something. What? So, we talked, she's cooperative, I'm not complaining about that Airbnb. The issue is with the way we have that

15
00:05:49.400 --> 00:06:04.840
structured it is not workable because the noise has to happen. There has to be this series of events. A bunch of people have to jump through hoops and you can't get there from here. Fort Lauderdale has a much much more effective system. Short-term rentals are required to put a

16
00:06:04.840 --> 00:06:21.400
sound sensor into the rental unit, interior exterior. They're 150 bucks or 10 bucks a month. Some are cheaper. They have agreements with the the rental agencies, the Airbnb's. They get discounts. The thing makes a noise. It keeps a record for 180 days. If there's a complaint, they can check it. The code

17
00:06:21.400 --> 00:06:37.560
guys can come pull the data and you can set the levels to the city code. They're calibrated type A DB. No-brainer. The results, the peer reviews, the owners, the renters, everybody loves this stuff except the jerks that make all the noise and

18
00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:52.520
there's nothing we can do about those people and there's more of them born every year. But, you know, we we got to do something different. That that way that set up is not working and it's never going to work. This thing with the sensors nationwide, it's all over. It's the way

19
00:06:52.520 --> 00:07:07.720
to go. It works. People love it. It is not even expensive. If you're spending a thousand bucks a night to stay at this place, she can afford 150 bucks for a one-time installation and ten dollars a year. So, maybe think about that as you're doing things. Noise and light, we got to fix it. That's what we got. Ain't

20
00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:28.480
going to work. Thanks. >> Thank you. Next, please. >> Good evening. Uh Steven Grant. Uh I'd like to speak on 14A. Uh I wanted to just confirm is now the time to do it or Now's the time to do it. Okay, I didn't have much time to prepare then. Um I was looking at the

21
00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:50.280
>> Being 4A, right? >> 14A. >> Oh, on the CRA? >> Uh wait. Hold on. I That's on the next meeting. >> Oh, is this is we're not CRA yet? >> Yeah. We're on the joint. So, it'll be the next one. >> I can't check online mayor. But I don't know where do I go right

22
00:07:50.280 --> 00:08:12.120
here. Mhm. No. I don't I don't think there's anybody >> There's no one online Serena closed closed public comment. We are now moving on to item four. >> excuse me before we move on I would like the staff to get me some

23
00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:28.320
information in regards to what Mr. Woodford spoke about. I'm just saying so that we could all be abreast. That might be something that we can really look into. I'm just saying sometimes good things come to us and we kind of overlook them. Thank you. >> Yeah, and I know that I know that the the state changed the law too and I know

24
00:08:28.320 --> 00:08:44.599
we had to push back some of our Airbnb regulations that we had put into place and so I just want to look into that and see what what we can change and add and >> We'll we'll do the research and we'll make sure that we send the send the follow up to

25
00:08:46.480 --> 00:09:01.839
>> to item 4A staff. >> Uh thanks Madam Chair. Uh April 21st the uh the board made a decision to move forward with a transition of

26
00:09:01.839 --> 00:09:16.320
leadership from RMA to moving in providing a dual role as a city manager and put myself along with my executive staff of Adam Temple

27
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:34.640
uh Andrew Mack and also Amanda Radigan uh in that leadership role. Since then over the last I want to say 105 days, 106 days uh we went through we did the analysis. It was a 30 days analysis and overview and

28
00:09:34.640 --> 00:09:48.920
uh what what we uh came back with we provided both and from a financial standpoint, there was top line adjustments with the, uh, money being invested into an interest-bearing money market account of

29
00:09:48.920 --> 00:10:06.160
3.2%. That's going to be moved to 3.75%. So, on average, we're pulling in around $150,000 just in interest, uh, monthly on those, uh, those funds from a passive standpoint. That's going to be a difference of right around two and a half, three million dollars.

30
00:10:06.160 --> 00:10:21.920
Uh, also from the, uh, bottom line savings, we made probably about $700,000 in both cuts and adjustments to overall operation operational staff. In addition, our, uh, human resources department along with executive staff

31
00:10:21.920 --> 00:10:37.440
did a complete overview of purchasing card, um, practices as well of, uh, standard operating procedures. We worked hand in hand with Katherine Rosamel, a lot of long phone calls. Um, and we got to a place now to where we've streamlined

32
00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:52.839
those, uh, all those processes. We're capturing those dollars that, uh, that are coming from the taxpayer citizen. And what we also did was we looked at the CRA agenda as well and we made some adjustments to those and what we're

33
00:10:52.839 --> 00:11:07.839
looking at doing October 1st, as the board is well aware, is incorporating the CRA meetings into our city commission meetings so we can be even more efficient and still make sure that we're operationally moving, um, the CRA as an organization, um, forward.

34
00:11:07.839 --> 00:11:24.680
In addition to that, we've taken more of a aggressive stance in some of our real estate assemblage assemblages that we've had as far as 480, uh, West Palm Beach Boulevard. We're also looking at the post office site. There's countless

35
00:11:24.680 --> 00:11:41.120
numbers of goals and initiatives that we have moving forward in that short 105-day time frame that we've taken on taking this interim role in the CRA. Uh we've empowered the staff that we believe have the appropriate character and competency to move that organization

36
00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:57.320
forward and both Bonnie and Teresa. We've gave both those individuals leadership roles. We've brought in individuals uh such as Dave Weer that goes out and he's the point person when it comes to actually making those real estate um transactional or transaction

37
00:11:57.320 --> 00:12:12.440
introduction. So, we actually form those informal relationships and formal relationships when we're talking to our residents uh that are interested in selling their property. So, there's countless initiatives and goals that we have and a lot of objectives that we've

38
00:12:12.440 --> 00:12:30.360
already accomplished in this 105-day time frame. And from that standpoint we're looking at moving forward obviously with the um board's approval. You guys are going to have questions. We're going to provide uh and articulate those answers from both uh

39
00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:45.200
myself, Adam, and also Amanda. Uh we're looking at going forward with the same compensation package, but it's going to only include a $75,000 annual um compensation for myself as a CRA

40
00:12:45.200 --> 00:13:02.320
oversight. And from that point, I would look at however the money is going to be divided amongst the rest of the executive staff that is part of that leadership role within the CRA. So. And I'll open it up to questions. >> I I don't have any questions. Um I just want to say as the chair when I first

41
00:13:02.320 --> 00:13:18.200
came in newly elected and I was dealing with the old CRA, um you know, there was there was things that just took a lot of time and things that for years as as living close to the CRA direct district, you know, as a resident, I would be asking questions or wanting

42
00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:33.760
things and when I became the chair um I started looking into the books and realizing that there were some things financially that concerned me and that the CRA was just losing money hand-over-fist and with the event. So, since we've made this transition and I'm still a huge supporter of Chris Brown

43
00:13:33.760 --> 00:13:49.160
and it's unfortunate what happened in that situation because I think that he had the knowledge and the experience that we needed. Um we tried for years to find a CRA director and it did not happen and the people that did apply had no proven track record in a municipality for the challenges that Boynton faces.

44
00:13:49.160 --> 00:14:04.840
So, I have been um nothing but thrilled of how it's been going since we've we've you know had to make this transition. Um having the staff to be able to respond right away, things are happening literally in the same week, not taking four and five meetings that we were

45
00:14:04.840 --> 00:14:20.920
dealing with. Um so, I think that the community definitely is seeing the benefits too. I mean, we've been able to I think to help Inca a little faster than what we've ever been able to. Um and so, I can't I know you guys are working super hard. I know I work you to death um with everything going on, but I

46
00:14:20.920 --> 00:14:36.320
think looking back now, the transition has actually been more beneficial to the community than than what I thought it would be. >> It just uh the marina is also profitable. I know that was a question that the board has. The the marina is doing very, very well.

47
00:14:36.320 --> 00:14:53.200
And I think we provided all those profit and loss statements to everyone. >> Thank you. Uh I'm trying to make sure that my brain is functioning. Didn't you all say that she was bringing somebody new on and would be introduced to us tonight? Am I in the wrong meeting?

48
00:14:53.800 --> 00:15:09.600
>> Board member McCray, we do have a we did hire an administrative coordinator, uh Christie. She she is uh here. I don't know if anybody's had a chance to meet her. >> not had a chance to meet her, but I know you said that you would introduce her and I just come on down and introduce yourself as they won't do it for you cuz I don't know you.

49
00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:27.000
>> You're the next contestant. >> [laughter] >> Yes. Yes. Welcome. I won't I won't time you. >> And when Christie is done, I'll introduce uh somebody else that would be joining the team and that is in the audience I believe still as well. >> Okay. Uh good evening. My name is Christie Petrie. I was hired the day after your

50
00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:44.000
last meeting, July 15th. I spent a few months at the warehouse working on the city side and but I have a about eight years working with nonprofits. As an executive assistant and so working for the city I fell in love with the city. I got to know a lot of different people as

51
00:15:44.000 --> 00:16:00.280
you work with warehouse courier basically. So I worked everywhere from utilities to the police to communications, everyone here in city hall. I was the one dressed like the highlighter. If you ever see me around that was me. So maybe you don't recognize me now my hair is down and I'm wearing office clothes.

52
00:16:00.280 --> 00:16:15.800
But yes, I used to park the big old van back there. We used to see each other a little bit so nice to meet you all and thank you for having me on this this wonderful staff. >> Thank you. Welcome aboard. >> Welcome. >> But don't go anywhere. Don't go anywhere but I want to make sure that was you that was passing me in the hallway with

53
00:16:15.800 --> 00:16:32.600
the with the mail part and all that making the deliveries. >> Absolutely. I was dressed like a yellow >> [laughter] >> just like a yellow highlighter. Yep, that was me. >> Thank you. >> Welcome. >> And then lastly, if you remember there's been conversations or intense for the

54
00:16:32.600 --> 00:16:48.440
CRA to hire a development services specialist to support our land acquisition efforts with with Teresa. So this is a good news and bad news for me because I have Nicole Johnson here. She is currently at our one of our superstars in our building department.

55
00:16:48.440 --> 00:17:11.880
She's been with us for a very long time. She applied for and competed for that position on the CRA side and so she will be joining us in next couple of weeks working for the CRA. >> That's so exciting. >> Okay, one other one you got a part-time. >> meeting with

56
00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:28.880
Rodney Mayo in Delray who owns Dada's and Subculture Coffee. So he's working a lot. So, he has some unorthodox hours, but he definitely is working on bringing a lot of businesses into the city with pedigree >> Good. >> and Brant, so. >> Did I miss anybody? Thank you.

57
00:17:28.880 --> 00:17:43.840
>> No, I think we're good. >> I think [snorts] that's everyone. >> Um if there's any other comments or questions? >> No. >> Motion to approve. >> Well, we have to we have three >> Yeah, it'll be two separate motions. First as the CRA board and then as the city commission. So, do we Can we have a motion as the CRA?

58
00:17:43.840 --> 00:17:59.080
>> Motion to approve the second amendment to the master administrative services agreement between the city of Boynton Beach and the Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment Agency. >> Got it. Do we have a second? >> Second. >> We have a motion, we have a second. All those in favor say I. >> I. >> I.

59
00:17:59.080 --> 00:18:16.120
>> All those opposed say nay. Motion passes unanimously. Now we need a second motion on the CRA side. >> On the city commission side. >> On the city commission side, you did this here. >> This is for the sec- the first amendment? >> This is for the first amendment. We would also ask um that as part of your

60
00:18:16.120 --> 00:18:33.360
motion that you authorize us to incorporate the ILA scope into the city manager's contract since those are additional duties and responsibilities that are now being passed through, so we need It's appropriate to amend his um employment agreement to recognize that

61
00:18:33.360 --> 00:18:49.560
these are additional responsibilities, so I'd like authorization to do that to reference back to the ILA. >> Okay. You want a motion for that? >> Yeah. >> We can do a single motion approving um the second amendment to the master agreement and authorizing the mayor to execute um an amendment to the city

62
00:18:49.560 --> 00:19:05.280
manager's employment agreement to reflect his concurrent service. >> So move. >> Second. >> We have a motion, we have a second. All those in favor say I. I. All those opposed say nay. Motion passes unanimously. Any other comments for tonight on this? If not, do we have

63
00:19:05.280 --> 00:19:21.360
>> know, we have the >> 4B. >> Oh, 4B, that's right. I have it. >> Not trying to forget you. >> Uh no, thank thank you, Mayor Board Chair. This will be very quick. Um, there has been a a legal matter in which the city and CRA have brought in as defendants. We've discussed it between the attorney's offices and recommend

64
00:19:21.360 --> 00:19:37.440
that we at this time entered into a joint defense agreement and a joint payment agreement such that the CRA uh pays for now and we sort it out on the back end later um as that becomes appropriate and apparent through the case. So, we're asking for your authorization to enter an agreement to that effect. Um, and if you could do one from the

65
00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:53.280
city and one from the CRA, that would be great. >> Okay. Motion to authorize the joint defense and payment agreement between the City of Boynton Beach and the Boynton Beach CRA. >> Second. >> We have a motion and we have a second. >> Is that for clarification on behalf of the CRA?

66
00:19:53.280 --> 00:20:07.960
>> CRA. >> On behalf of the CRA. >> Thank you. The CRA first. >> All those in favor say I. >> I. >> I. >> All those opposed say nay. Motion passes. Now, we need the city. Motion. >> Motion to offer agreement by the city for joint defense agreement.

67
00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:23.720
>> Second. >> Is that good enough? >> Okay. We have a motion and we have a second. All those in favor say I. >> I. >> I. >> All those opposed say nay. Motion passes. Any other comments? If not, do I have a motion to adjourn? >> So moved. >> Motion to adjourn. >> Second. >> We have a motion and we have a second to

>> Yeah, they got to make >> Mhm.
