ADDITIONS, DELETIONS OR ACCEPTANCE OF AGENDA Mayor Featherman asked for any additions or deletions. Receiving none, the agenda was accepted as presented. 2. PUBLIC COMMENTS AND REQUESTS Arlin Voress — 4403 Intracostal Drive Have a few comments to make regarding the architectural plans being presented today on renovations to the Commission Chambers and Police Department. I understand the project is estimated to be three quarters of a million dollars. If the commission agrees with the plans, then they should immediately advertise for proposals. The Town can afford it and the Commission needs to move forward. Carl Feldman — 3210 S. Ocean Blvd. Let's keep our Town beautiful, and not go overboard with political signs. I know we cannot prohibit them, but hope residents do not go overboard with the signs. Would also like to talk about the raise for the Town Manager. Did not like the averaging of the percentage. All but one Commissioner has never been through this process before. The Commission should have been Town Commission Workshop Minutes June 26, 2012 Page 2 of 11 notified prior to the approval of the averaging of the scores. 3. PRESENTATIONS: • Florida State Representative Bill Hager — Update Representative Hager was unable to make the meeting today due to an unexpected court appearance. He will reschedule for some time in the near future. • Town Commission Chamber and Police Department Renovations Mark Marsh of Bridges, Marsh & Associates, Inc. Mayor Featherman — Mark Marsh of Bridges, Marsh & Associates, Inc. is here to present a proposal on the renovations of the Town Commission Chambers and the Police Department. Mark Marsh — Thank you Mayor. For the record Mark Marsh, Architect of Bridges, Marsh & Associates Architects. We were engaged by your Town to review the existing facilities that we are in today and to look at what options could be done to improve the facilities. I have met with all of you and I think you understand clearly the scope. What's not included is the Post Office. It is not going away. It stays as is so I just want to clarify that. It is unaffected by this proposal. The importance here is to remember that the original Town Hall was developed in two parts: A north area which is now the area that houses the Finance and Town Manager's Office and basically the administrative aspect of the complex. The south half houses the Commission Chamber and the police facility. About fifteen or sixteen years ago the area between these two parts was filled in with a new addition and that addition created a new entry and now houses the Police Department. What we are looking at today is a revamping or reallocating of space within the existing, of what we call the envelope of this building. We are not expanding we are just reshuffling space to make it functionally more efficient and respond to more current technologies. When we got involved there were plans previously done, a year or two ago, that addressed primarily the Police Department expansion. What it was going to do was to take this east half of the south wing incorporate it with the existing area on the central area but what that did was create a lot of cross circulation. The first thing we did was to really look at what happens with reorganization here. The primary problem that we have in this facility is that, because of the additive nature of how the facility was constructed, the circulation is very, very poor. You have this kind of breezeway for the public coming into the Commission Chambers. You also share the breezeway as the entrance to the Police Department. Staff has to go outside to get to the Chamber or come through the breezeway behind the Post Office and the Police station. There really is a complete disconnect between functions in the south two-thirds of the building with the north. We wanted to address, connecting the north wing which is the administrative area with the south area which will become the new Commission Chambers and the Police Dept. We've analyzed this every which way we can. So what we have today is the final proposed layout which obviously will have some minor refinements as we go into the construction documentation phase of the project. What we have done is created an open gallery between the existing lobbies of the main north administration which is in effect the main entrance into the Town Hall; a gallery which Town Commission Workshop Minutes June 26, 2012 Page 3 of 11 now comes in to what would be a new lobby for the Commission Chambers. The biggest change here that you might recognize is currently the Commission Chambers in the southwest quadrant of the building, we are proposing to move it to the east primarily to again achieve more public access and to relate better with the Town Clerk, the administration, Town Manager, Finance Dept. so that the town staff, the public and elected officials can now use the building like you would expect in a normal current modern facility without having to go outside to get from one area to another. We are proposing to do this gallery about seven feet wide so it is not just a corridor to be used to display items of interest to the Town but it will now create a strong linkage to the administration area. What has also resulted from this study is the fact that the current bathroom facilities both in the public lobby in the north wing and the ones that exist in the rear of this area are substandard. They don't meet the fixed count which is a requirement for the use of this facility and more importantly they don't adhere to any ADA requirements and as you know we are mandated now, especially you as a public facility, to provide for the ADA requirements. What we have concluded to do, instead of having two sets of bathroom facilities, is to create a central bank of toilets which will be female and male with the number of counts that we need and also providing for all the ADA required criteria. It's close to staff, close to the public and it functions off a lobby in a main central circulation area instead of being buried in other areas. The Police Dept. which is basically in this area has its own internal bathroom facilities so that's outside of the general staff and public requirements. The Commission Chambers is proposed to be in this area. The other thing was to get the Police Dept., not only the expansion that is required, but has it as a contiguous department instead of having to circulate across a public hallway to gain entry to the Police Department. The Police Dept. has a secure access from the west side which is their control and parking area. What we have done now is create this contiguous department that is totally internal. It has its own spinal circulation and it doesn't have to interfere or interact with any other public entity. There is no cross circulation but yet it is still fully accessible to the public and controlled for obvious reasons by their secure entry. The biggest revision to the plan would be the proposed modification to the Commission and the general layout of the Commission Chambers. Currently, you have a horseshoe dais which is very tight and limited and is difficult for the public to actually see some of the Commissioners or Mayor. What we have done is to propose a dais that is much more of a crescent or a very shallow curved element here or oriented on the east end of this Commission room that is far more user friendly for both the Commission and Mayor as well as staff as well as the public. Then it also obviously supports the televising of the proceedings much better so you have clear access to either the public or to the elected officials. By this scheme we are going to reduce the number of seats very minimally, just maybe four or five from what we currently have here now. But what we are doing as part of this is to create a pair of glass doors which would be for a majority of the time fixed in place there would be visuals so that people coming into the lobby can see into the proceedings without having to come in and disturb the actual proceedings. There will be an entry in the back so for example today's meeting everybody would come through the rear here and find a seat. If the demand was such that there was a larger meeting required then this door would slide as a pocket slider and allow this lobby which is the official lobby for the chambers to be utilized for additional seating, standing or whatever to attend a meeting. We feel in this facility here the square footage is sufficient for the majority of the meetings. As I said we have expandable space so it's important. We also created a little office area off the Commission Chamber lobby which could be a multi -use space. Like today when you are having a meeting and the department heads are sitting in the audience. They would not have to sit in this room and take up Town Commission Workshop Minutes June 26, 2012 Page 4 of 11 space. They could sit in tis multi -use room and observe the proceedings via a video located in that room. If they are needed to come to the podium and present or respond to a question it is a very easy access. It also could be used for the Mayor or the Commission or the Town Attorney to meet with private citizens in a very controlled environment instead of having to go and disturb any other area within the existing facility. Under this proposal we will be improving the locker rooms and the bathroom facilities for both sworn men and women and civilian people within the Police Department. The other area we've created what's called a squad room or training room which is a very critical part of a police or public safety activity. It is where officers can come in and write their report or they can do training sessions. The balances of the changes are basically just relocation of existing facilities. So all in all, this represents about 5800 square feet of area that is affected. The north wing is pretty well unaffected by this proposal. We will be maintaining an IT room which currently exists here because again we don't want to impact the technologies and have to redo everything if we don't have to. So that is the basic proposal. We will also be proposing changing the ceiling treatments in all of the spaces affected to a more acoustic ceiling tile so that we can get better acoustics, better lighting. The technologists for televising the meeting require certain intensity of light, so that would be part of the proposal along with a new air conditioning systems. I think, one of the important things here is that we are not expanding outside of this envelope and the Town is blessed by the fact that it has what I call esthetic population. There is no need to expand anymore, just reshuffling. We were charged as part of our service to you as a Town to do a preliminary estimate of the costs of the scope that I just presented. We have presented that to the Mayor and the Council and the Town Manager. The figure here total is $750,000 and that is what we are projecting. This is just a summary, we do accurate estimates but it is what we call an order of magnitude estimate. There are contingencies. We are carrying an eight percent contingency in this case. We do measure this is the general requirements what the contractor would be charging for running the project. We do analyze the cost so this is a guideline by which you can then go out and engage a bid or an estimate from a contractor. And I do agree the market is still very favorable for work and I think it would be a great idea or a great time for the Town to pursue this and get the best value for their dollar. What we have done on this estimate the time frame for this renovation is projected to be six months from the day the contract is selected and is mobilized to hopefully to the day the project is complete. In terms of real calendar schedule, obviously our firm and our consultants or constructional mechanical engineers do need some time to generate construction documents and that is usually around two months to two and one half months and then you go out for a bid and then a selection is made by the Town Commission and Mayor. So, in general terms, I think from start to finish you are looking at about a ten month period to achieve what we are proposing here today. Comm. Trinley - Who sits at the seats on the end of the dais? Reply - This is actually the Town Clerk and the Police Chief is here, the Town Manager sits here and the Town Attorney sits here. It will vary from board to board like you have here, whether it's the Code Enforcement Board, the Planning Board the number is very similar to what the requirements are. Town Commission Workshop Minutes June 26, 2012 Page 5 of 11 Mayor Featherman — Have you seen any sites where the Police would move during this renovation? I assume there will be nobody in that building when it's done and what will the cost be on that? Mr. Marsh — Part of the exclusion from the $750,000 budget estimate is the cost of temporary housing. In any renovations you obviously have to temporarily house whatever departments or staff you displace. We talked amongst ourselves with the Manager and her department heads and it is felt that we can actually relocate the existing use of this space. For example, the Commission may have to go the Library in their Community Room; the Police staff would go into the Building Dept. and some of the existing north wing. But we feel amongst ourselves that the Town does not need to rent double wide trailers, set up additional costs to temporarily house. Now there will be some sundry costs to reallocate these people but I think the Town is blessed with the ability to temporarily re -house the displaced uses or departments. The second thing, is to mention that the technology that you require, that somebody mentioned earlier, modernizing this facilities technology is a very important part of that and as I touched on the monitors televising the proceedings you will have a system here that is fairly recently upgraded so I think the cost of that would be minimal to take it to the next level. Mayor Featherman — We have sixteen officers and one personnel at the desk. They would all have to be moved at one time and their cars as well. Craig Hartmann, Chief of Police — Yes, we can do this for six months. It is a temporary readjustment where we relocate in the existing Town Hall additional facilities. The City of Delray has a substation right over the bridge. There are several options we haven't even begun to explore until we are ready to hear from you. The whole key to this though and what we said from the beginning is to minimize any cost we would have during this because it is just a six month temporary displacement. Mayor Featherman — We would have to put our records somewhere during those three months. Mr. Marsh- It is nine to ten months. Mayor Featherman — Nine to ten months. Do we have places to put our current police records in the transfer? Mr. Marsh — Let me clarify if I could. The Chief made a good point. We are talking about displacement for six months. The three to four months prior to that is really outside activity that is not going to affect so we are looking at a six month period. Six months is the displacement aspect of the project. Mayor Featherman — Could I ask our finance man where the monies would come from? Cale Curtis, Finance Director — Great question Mayor. I'm looking at a variety of alternatives and options that I will bring back to present to you all. Nothing is set in stone right now. What I might suggest is that, pending on your action today, you turn this over to the Financial Advisory Board to explore further options and come back with their recommendation. Mayor Featherman — There are mostly new people on that Board. Are you looking for a Bond or are you looking to get a loan from a bank or are you going to draw down from our Reserve Fund. Director Curtis — I believe we will look at all our alternatives and present the pros and cons of each to the Board Comm. Trinley - I have a funding question. Excuse me Cale. You gave a power point presentation a few weeks ago and I believe you said within a very few years we will have run out of reserves. Is that correct? If we keep spending the way we are doing it. Director Curtis — Yes, at the rate we are going we are using our reserve funds to cover the cost of ongoing operating expenses. These are costs that come up each year; personnel, operating, repairs and maintenance. That's the gap I am trying to close. Town Commission Workshop Minutes June 26, 2012 Page 6 of 11 Mayor Featherman — Would the millage be increased and taxes increased for our residents because of this? Town Manager Weiser — Mayor and Commissioners that would be your decision as the policy makers. Vice Mayor Ron Brown — What you are really looking at right now is using our reserves so that we have money in there currently to pay for this and then find another way to meet our operating expenses. Is that correct? Director Curtis — Yes. Vice Mayor Brown - Obviously there are several different ways to do it. Number one is to raise the millage rate. Number two is to use our current money that we have in our reserves to pay for this project. We are not getting any return on our money now. It is the cheapest time in the world to have construction done and why not look at some of those options. Comm. Trinley — May I go back to the architect please? Is there a space in the new Commission Chambers for the Clerk to be present or would the Clerk be put in the supposedly little anteroom. Mr. Marsh — The Clerk is multi -functional right now. There is an area here that the Clerk could be at. Obviously Zoie is multi -tasking so this is also a control room for the IT aspect of the proceedings. Town Manager Weiser — Let me take onto that. There are actually two locations at the end of the dais, one would be the Clerk and the other would be if we wanted to have somebody else up there. Comm. Trinley — Okay but Zoie would be banished from the proceedings? Mr. Marsh — No. In lieu of her sitting like she is currently working all of this, she will have the ability to either be part of the proceedings sitting at the dais or in what we would call the IT room to assist with the control of the technological aspect of presentation. Comm. Trinley — I think if she continues to be in charge of the cameras for our meetings she should be in the proceedings. Mr. Marsh — She will be. There are windows here that are part of the chamber itself. We are trying to remove all of the equipment that you currently have here and get it in a more efficient space. She is not excluded. Comm. Trinley — Okay, thank you. I ask these questions as a former Clerk. Comm. Stern — I do have a question for you, sir. Under your summary, line item #8-mechanical, does that refer to HVAC? Mr. Marsh — Yes that is the air conditioning and plumbing aspect of the project. It is combing plumbing and air conditioning. Comm. Stern — Great! The second question is 1 thru 9 gives us a total of 639 and then some additional fees percentage wise. Where in here is the fee that we have paid you so far? Mr. Marsh — That is outside of this. Comm. Stern — Totally outside of this so it is not really 750 plus a little bit more of money. Mr. Marsh - Yes, correct. Comm. Stern — What do you see as additional expenses then over the 750 because we are talking your fee that we have already approved and paid, and then we will have some other expenses for upgrade of equipment. Where do you see those numbers? Mr. Marsh - I don't have a clear field for that. Comm. Stern — Just a ballpark. $100,000, $150,000. Mr. Marsh — For the AV system it could be 40 to 50,000. We were engaged when we were first hired for $42,000 that was at a budget price of 350 and that is why the $16,000 on line item 12 is because the scope is mushroomed and hence obviously our service. I think credit is due to Zoie and the Town Attorney that cut me back quite a bit. Comm. Stern — It is fair to assume that $750 is not a real number even how hungry all your contractors might be today. Mr. Marsh — That's what we call hard costs, sir. That's a construction cost. You as a Town control the soft costs where you extend for example consulting services, equipment, and some furnishings. Most of the furniture is not included in that estimate. But this estimate does include the dais, the dais chairs so we have rolled that into what we call the hard costs. Comm.Stem — So in fairness to my fellow Commissioners, it is not a real number 750 as of today's estimate. It will be a higher number. Mr. Marsh - It will most Town Commission Workshop Minutes June 26, 2012 Page 7 of 11 likely be higher. As I said we can only provide you with the hard costs as our service. We do have a contingency of eight percent on those hard costs numbers so we are carrying about 50 odd thousand just for contingency. Comm. Stem — Just so that my fellow Commissioners understand what they are really looking at. At the same time I compliment you that the project you have put together is excellent. Comm. Sheridan — Mayor, I would just like to agree with the Vice Mayor that I strongly feel that if this project is to go forward it should be taken from the Reserve because I consider it a Capitol Improvement and not from the General Fund. Mayor Featherman — We do have a very limited amount of money coming in from the Reserve because it is divided among several banks and the interest rates are running anywhere from four -tenths of a percent to maybe seven -tenths of a percent. Basically that money was originally set for an emergency in case there was a hurricane or something that came here that would affect us. I know that our two Commissioners have just come back from a three day meeting and what was the tone of the other towns. Were they in a deficit situation or having difficulty meeting their budgets? Vice Mayor Brown — Right now from everything I got out of it was everybody is having difficulty meeting their budget, but we are all looking at the cost of money. The cost of money is at the lowest in everybody's lifetime. We are not making any money on what we have in Reserve and we can use it for projects that probably at the lowest costs we've ever seen and that was sort of the thought process up there. Comm. Stern — The other thought that has been mentioned, and I thought it was loud and clear and opened my eyes, was the fact that if we were to increase our tax millage a little bit here the Town really represents only fifteen percent of your total tax bill because of the County, the school taxes, everything else that goes into it. So that if we do have to raise our tax to make our millage to make our budget meet then here is an opportunity for capital improvements from the Reserve without really hurting the Reserve altogether. Just a thought. Mayor Featherman — Is there anything else you would like to add on that Commissioner Trinley? Comm. Trinley — No. Mayor Featherman — Very well thank you very much for the presentation you made, sir. Are there any other questions from the Commissioners that they would like to make at this time or any presentations on this? Vice Mayor Brown — I would like to make a comment. I think we are in a situation now where we have the capability to move from the 70's and 80's to 2020 and beyond. It's probably the cheapest timeframe we will ever have to do it and the whole area does need to be upgraded. 4.

Consensus was to include the corrected minutes on the next Regular Meeting Consent Agenda. 8. REPORTS — TOWN COMMISSION A) Commissioner Stern —1) I had been contacted by a resident on Russell Drive who had been experiencing a problem with their water pipes breaking, and wanted to know what steps could Town Commission Workshop Minutes June 26, 2012 Page 9 of 11 be taken so that they were notified prior to receiving an exorbitant water bill. Public Works Director Lee did some research on this and found a company "WaterSignal" which sells wireless leak detection devices that can be installed on water meters. These leak detectors monitor the water meter and alerts the owner of excessive water use or spikes. I shared this information with the resident and have not heard back from her. 2) Would like to compliment Suze Hiles for getting Highland Beach and our turtle program on TV. The turtle nests' numbers are increased this year. 3) Vice Mayor Brown and I had three wonderful days attending the Elected Municipal Official's class. Have a new respect for our staff. Thanked Town Clerk Brown for putting it all together. B) Commissioner Sheridan — I feel the Town Hall Renovation should be funded from the Town Reserve and not the General Fund as it is a capital improvement. I also feel the walkway project is very important, and when we do it, we should do it properly, not piece meal. I understand the importance of the walkway project, and suggest we engage an architect to prepare plans and include this expense in the next budget. The Town Hall renovation was initiated by the previous Commission and should be our first and primary concern. I feel it is extremely important to afford the Police Department the changes that the Police Chief has requested to become certified. It is also important to update the Commission Chambers as well as to bring our rest rooms up to code. I feel it is our responsibility to maintain and improve the infrastructure of our town. Our water plant and library are the state-of-the-art, I cannot say the same for our Town Hall. C) Commissioner Trinley — No Report. D) Vice Mayor Brown — Would like to thank the Town for allowing me to attend the Elected Municipal Official's class. Right now, I am on information overload. Walk path — I do not think we need to make the improvements piecemeal. Would rather delay it and do it right the first time. E) Mayor Featherman — If we do go ahead with the improvements to this building, since it is over the amount of monies that we have in our Charter, we should go out to a referendum to make sure that the people want to spend that money right now. I also feel that it is very important that you folks attend the Elected Municipal Officials class. When I attended almost a year ago and they said that you should not take the second class until after you have been in office for a year. I will be attending the second session in the fall. We did have a vote of four to one for repairs to the walkway and now of course Commissioner Sheridan has said we should get an Architect. I don't think that is necessary. I really feel that when we put aside the $65,000.00 to do the job and now we may also go into repairing and renovating our facilities here we are looking at a lot of money that will be spent this year and undoubtedly our residents here will have to pay a lot more in taxes for it. It's not a good time now. It was stated that a lot of people are having budget difficulties in municipalities. If anything we want to keep our costs very tight and controlled because if it does turn around in the next year or two or three, even if we have to pay one or two percent more in interest we will be able to do it. But, right now, it is a very difficult time and I would like to see us appeal to the people as to whether they want to have this or not. Town Commission Workshop Minutes June 26, 2012 Page 10 of 11 9. REPORTS — TOWN ATTORNEY GLEN TORCIVIA: No Report. 10. REPORTS — TOWN MANAGER KATHLEEN DAILEY WEISER• Slogan — In the last issue of the Highlander we included an article notifying the community that we are looking for a slogan for our community. It is also posted on the Town's website. Some suggestions received to date are: 1) Highland Beach — Paradise of the Palm Beaches; 2) Highland Beach - Wave of Welcome; 3) Highland Beach — nests with zest; 4) Highland Beach — even turtles can find it. We are accepting suggestions until July 31, 2012. We had received an inquiry from a resident regarding the handicapped ramp at the Post Office. It has been measured and meets state handicapped standards. Just a reminder that Town Hall will be closed on Wednesday, July 4, 2012. We have received a notice from the Ethics Commission advising us that the Town is in full compliance with the Ethics Code. 11. CONSENT AGENDA None. 12. PUBLIC COMMENTS AND REQUESTS RELATED TO ITEMS DISCUSSED AT MEETING Arlin Voress — 4403 Intracoastal Drive I would like to make a comment in regards to bringing the expenditure of monies over $350,000 to a referendum. If you are in the process of a Charter Review, you may not have that problem if they change the dollar figure. That amount was added to the Charter over 10 years ago. Mayor Featherman — We have not heard from the Charter Review Committee yet. Years ago, you improved the water plant, and we are still in debt $18 million. We do have a responsibility to our residents. Jim Jiovanazzo — 3700 S. Ocean Blvd. I notice when walking, that there are a number of new houses being built in Town. This will bring in additional revenue that can pay for the repairs to the sidewalk. We are seeing an influx of baby boomers. Town Commission Workshop Minutes _June 26, 2012 Page 11 of 11 Carl Feldman — 3210 S. Ocean Blvd. I thought the walk path improvements was approved at the last meeting to be included in next year's budget. 13.
