5. PROPOSED ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS
A RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN COMMISSION OF THE TOWN OF HIGHLAND
BEACH, FLORIDA, RELATING TO THE STATE REVOLVING FUND LOAN
PROGRAM; ESTABLISHING ADDITIONAL PLEDGED REVENUES; PROVIDING
FOR CONFLICTS; SEVERABILITY AND EFFECTIVE DATE.
Attorney Sliney addressed this proposed resolution, noting it had been drafted by the
Town's bond counsel, Attorney Charles Schoech, and had to do with additional funds
needed relating to the reverse osmosis water treatment plant now under construction.
It will be considered for approval at the July 1 Regular Meeting.
6. NEW BUSINESS
(1) DESIGNATION OF VOTING DELEGATE FOR FLORIDA LEAGUE OF
CITIES ANNUAL CONFERENCE
Mayor Reid noted that historically he has been designated as the voting delegate for
the annual Florida League of Cities annual conference; there was little discussion,
concluding with the consensus that this item be forwarded to the July 1 Regular Meeting
• Consent Agenda.
(2) DISCUSSION - RE: PROPOSED MODIFICATIONS TO LIFT STATION
ONE
Public Works Director Jack Lee explained that due to increased flows from Toscana and
Ocean Cove, the proposed modifications to lift station one were necessary. In order to
reduce the cost of the project, Mr. Lee suggested elimination of the addition of a wet well
that would afford only 30 extra minutes of retention time, hardly worth its price. By
eliminating the wet well, and considering that $100,816 is budgeted this year for the
project, Mr. Lee noted that approval of an additional $116,000 from the sewer reserve
fund would be sufficient to complete the project. Concluding discussion, wherein Mr. Lee
answered questions to the Commission's satisfaction, it was the consensus to forward
this item to the July 1 Regular Meeting Consent Agenda. (Copy of pertinent information
on this project attached to and made part of these Minutes)

8. REPORTS -TOWN COMMISSION
Commissioner Rachael Scala-Pistone was absent.
Commissioner Robert L. Lowe was absent.
Commissioner John J. Sorrelli had no report.
Vice Mayor Michael W. Hill advised he had joined Fire Chief Kerry Koen and Utilities
Supervisor Bill Moore this date on a tour of the Town's side streets to ascertain if
landscaped medians (for aesthetic and drainage purposes) would interfere with fire and
rescue equipment from navigating the road(s). The Vice Mayor noted that the medians
would pose a problem for the equipment on the cul-de-sacs; however, Highland Beach
Drive Russell Drive and Bel Air Drive could accommodate the medians and not hamper
ingress and egress of fire and rescue equipment.
Mayor Thomas J. Reid had no report.
9. REPORTS -TOWN ATTORNEY
• Town Attorney Thomas E. Sliney advised that the Azure Condominium had a new
owner, Luxury Developers, LLC, noting that some documents had already been

the developers, with the outcome being that a full presentation of the transfer of the
property, as well as appropriate credentials and documents will be given at the July 1
Regular Meeting. (Correspondence attached to and made part of these Minutes)
