2. PUBLIC COMMENTS AND REOUESTS
Carl Feldman — 3210 S. Ocean Blvd. — At last week's workshop meeting we heard some real
compassion pleas for help from the citizens of the town that live on the water. I realize this is private
property but this is still Highland Beach. I think one of the most important things we can do is help
them clean the beaches. Now the beach raker has come out with a new piece of equipment. It is
called the Sandman, which is a walk behind sifting machine that gets into the hard areas such as
behind buildings, seawalls, dunes, etc. We use the beach raker but not the sandman. Maybe the town
can get together with the beach raker and see if he could do something about helping us clean up
these areas that are very difficult to clean. I understand the State does prohibit the beach raker from
getting into the areas with the big equipment but this small piece of equipment might be the thing to
do and maybe the town can act as an in between and get this done. I am giving this brochure to the
Town Manager to see if we can look into it and give these people some help. If not maybe we can

mobilize the town to help them out. If we have to clean it up, maybe we can all get together and do
it.
Irwin Zagoria, 4211 S Ocean Blvd — First I would like to thank the Mayor for reaching out to me
last week to discuss my concerns regarding the height and width of the beach, both at the southern
end of Highland Beach where I live, and the concerns I have for the whole community of Highland
Beach on the east and west sides of AIA. I am here to further discuss my concerns for our
community as it relates to the most precious attribute, the beaches, both for an aesthetic prospective
and from an environmental prospective. Yes our sand is returning to the beach. Is the sand level far
below pre - hurricane Sandy levels, absolutely? Is the beach narrower than prior to Sandy, yes it is? I
am concerned with what could happen if further erosion of the beach occurs and if we are impacted
by another storm, either a hurricane or any other storm in the next year. The idea that because Delray
Beach is beginning their re- nourishment program in the coming months, our beaches will be
replenished is not necessarily true. I was told recently by an engineer, formerly with the Army Corp
of Engineers, that sand moves south at one mile per year. If this is true, the beach area at the south
end of our town will take approximately four years for that sand to reach the southern end which is
the hardest hit in Highland Beach. I am here to encourage this Commission, as a group, to approve
and fund an impact study for our beaches. We need to ascertain whether the sands will return on its
own or not. If the sand is not replenished naturally, there could be a devastating situation should
another hurricane or large storm hit our area without our beaches as protection. If sand must be
replaced, what is the cost and the timing of such re- nourishment to protect our homes, the value of
our homes and the tax base that this city runs on? These are reasons why this impact study is so very
important to fund.
Second, the communities up and down this cost allocate dollars in reserves each year for the
potentiality of beach erosion; Delray to our north, Boca Raton, Hillsboro Beach, Hollywood and Ft.
Lauderdale beaches to our south. I am here to ask this Commission to vote for a study of what this
community should allocate each year towards future beach re- nourishment projects for beautification
and fortification of our beaches. I want to thank the Commission in advance for voting "yes" to the
beach impact studies and heretofore request, as a concerned citizen of Highland Beach, that you vote
appropriately.
Dennis DiFlorio, 4215 S. Ocean Blvd — I have been away and coming back I find that the situation
with the beach erosion and particularly with the dune in front of our complex has gotten no better.
My concerns have deepened and with time I hoped that we would have seen some relief with the
beach restoring itself, but there appears to be such a gully out there. I do appreciate all of your efforts
and responsiveness to date because I know that we have been coming at you with a sense of urgency
and you have done your best to respond. There are certainly some things that we have corresponded
to you individually and hopefully you will take them into consideration and follow up with some of
our request for help. I want to go on record to say that I think the situation is far from remedying
itself and to do nothing is just a recipe for disaster. I realize that for the folks that don't live on the
beachfront and maybe would argue that the town shouldn't use resources to protect the beaches, I
think that is a sense of foolishness and being penny wise and dollar foolish when you look at the
bigger picture. I trust and have confidence in our elected officials to do the right thing, not only for
the folks on the beach but for the entire community to protect home values, protect properties and
protect our way of life here in Highland Beach.

Al Giachetti, 4211 S. Ocean Blvd — Because I am an Engineer and I have walked this beach for
twenty years, the south side did get hit a lot more than the north end perhaps because the Delray
Beach sand has been accumulating up there and, like Irwin said, it hasn't gotten down to us yet. If we
do the study, I would really like somebody to make sure that when they dredge; like I sent you those
pictures two years ago when they dredged the Boca beaches and the barge sat in front of Highland
Beach dredging the very sand in front of the Highland beaches that got hit the worst. I would like to
know if they had permits to dredge there and did anybody do the proper studies to make sure we
weren't going to be impacted by the sand that they took from our shores. I think that is important.
The neighbors to the south of me now, about 400 feet, before they were built before 1997 can get a
permit for a seawall and they will probably have a seawall. My project is new so whether I can get a
seawall is undetermined at this time. I don't think anybody here realizes you only have a beach at
low tide now in the south part of Highland Beach and if the seawalls go in, you will only be able to
walk from the north part to the south part of town during low tide. I think this is a community
problem.
Mayor Featherman — I did take a trip on the Police dune buggy up and down the entire beach and
what you said is true. I know that our Town Manager has spoken to someone about this already and
we will probably be releasing other information.

E) Mayor Bernard Featherman — There is a South Florida Fair going on January 27, 2013,
and it will be quite an elaborate event. Mark it on your calendar if you would like to attend.
In regards to the hurricane crisis. We have been looking into many things. Both the Town
Manager and I have talked about it and gotten other opinions in the field. We have real estate
that we are putting up for sale in Boca Raton. The Town cannot take public money and use it for
private money from what I understand. However, that property at one time was going to be sold
for ten million dollars. It is the former water department, 8 -1/2 acres in Boca Raton. We can
consider, in the future with a referendum perhaps, that some of that money, when the property is
sold, be put into a crisis fund for when we have things that reoccur. This has to be checked with
our Legal Department. Something may be able to be done with that, talked about and action
taken, one way or another.
The other thing is that we have gone to FEMA, talked to the State and local governments and we
cannot get that money because they won't release it for private owned property, but they will
release some monies to various towns for public owned properties. We should look at other
avenues where we can help our residents because that is why they pay taxes, why they live here
and they need help.
I had a call from a woman who represented the Highland Beach Orchestra. They cannot play here
this year unless they can get publicity. She would like to get free publicity on our Channel 99 TV
site. They are not looking for money but they need people to come out and hear them play. If
they could get this publicity they would consider coming back here to Highland Beach to play

four times. I will leave this open for our Commissioners to think about and ask that we move
quickly on this because those orchestrations take place early in the spring. St. Lucy's will work
with them for parking. Comm. Sheridan — Regarding St. Lucy's, we have had a directive come
here from the Diocese of Palm Beach that requires us to get insurance from any organization or
private party that uses our facility and they must meet the requirements of the Palm Beach
Diocese. This organization was notified and told what the requirements were and they wrote back
to us and said they were not able to provide the insurance certificate and advised us that they
would not be returning to St. Lucy's. Mayor Featherman — They undoubtedly had a change of
mind because they did call me personally yesterday and if they would have to do it they would
have to have insurance on their own. We want them to adhere to what requirements are needed
by other people. It is something to consider because they have been playing here for about eight
years at our Highland Beach facilities. Comm. Trinley — I thought there was no private enterprise
advertising on a government channel? Town Manager Weiser — That is correct. Comm. Trinley
— So then we cannot accommodate them in that regard.
9. REPORTS — TOWN ATTORNEY:
No reports other than Happy Holidays to everyone.
10. REPORTS — TOWN MANAGER:
• Discussion of Beach Efforts.
Town Manager Weiser — We have talked to Hillsboro Beach and I talked to several coastal
engineering firms and they have suggested we do a feasibility study where we would hire a
coastal engineer to come in and look at our beach and basically tell us what the best course of
action is; what it would cost and what are the different impacts and things that we would have to
look at on our beach. For example, we have certain aspects of our beach that are different than
other people's beaches, and the price tag for different projects. When we are talking about re-
nourishing the beach, is it best to do sand on the beach, or is it best to do seawalls? We are not
coastal engineers. A coastal consultant would put together a study for you. The cost of such a
study is in the fifteen to twenty thousand dollar range. So I am bringing that to you as possibly
what I would recommend to you as being the next course of action to see what the best
alternative would be and how to proceed. Comm. Sheridan — I suggest we move as quickly on
that as possible. Mayor Featherman — I feel it is very important because our residents have to be
protected in some way and we have to make a move to find out what to do. Comm. Trinley —
Would we be spending taxpayer funds for just a portion of the people in town? Comm. Sheridan
— Yes, we would. Comm. Trinley — Are the beaches still private property or has that changed
and if so why are we funding? Mayor Featherman — I believe all our residents here pay taxes
and we should protect them to the best of our ability. If they are applying for permits from the
government, we should send a letter of support. We would like to see them get a one time
permit given to them. That is our position here and we should serve all the people. We should
look at what options we have and do that accordingly. Comm. Sheridan — I don't think that was
in question. I think that the Town Manager has agreed to assist these people in permitting, to the
Town Commission Regular Minutes
December 4 2012 Pa e 6 of 11
best of her ability as quickly as she can and whether this study should take place, and I think it
would be in good faith on behalf of the Town to take a step forward and try to assist these people
that are in drastic need at this point. They have to have a starting point. Comm. Trinley — Do we
have any idea what the cost of this study would be? Comm. Sheridan — About fifteen to twenty
thousand dollars. Vice Mayor Brown — Everybody that lives on the beach has my sympathy on
what is going on over there but I have talked to several of my residents that live in Bel Lido and
they have asked me what help would the town give them to rebuild the seawall because the high
tide has actually come over the seawall. The water went down behind the seawall and a lot of
them have problems with seawalls. Because of high tides and hurricane Sandy, a lot of people
are looking at damages at private homes. The water came up three feet above my seawall into
the yard, killed all the grass in the back and it is my private home. So, all of the taxpayers out
there are looking at costs that are a direct result of Sandy also.
Town Manager Weiser — I would like some direction as to what you would like me to do. If you
would like the Town Attorney to address spending public funds on this, he can.
Town Attorney Torcivia — It's your discretion that anytime you do a public project that arguably
benefits only some people, not all of the people; not everybody uses the Library for example; not
everybody uses the parking spaces. It is your discretion as to how you allocate the resources and
whether this project benefits the community.
Mayor Featherman — My concern is that we have a hurricane that affects all of us here at one
time or another in various stages. It can affect the homes in Bel Lido and on the ocean side but
we have to look at that for the future, too. I tend to agree that we have to have that research done
by a consulting firm. At least we will know what is wrong in all sections of our community and
perhaps we can take those steps needed to solve this in the future.
Town Manager Weiser — Let me explain what the process would be. If you direct me we would
put a RFQ (Request for Qualifications) out on the street for a Coastal Consulting Firm. This
process is not quick and it will probably take until our next meeting. We can hurry it along, but
government has certain procurement procedures that we have to follow, and that is one of them.
We would put it out on the street and then we would come back to you with a ranking and then
you would authorize us to negotiate with the firm. It is nothing that would happen overnight but
if you would like us to put a RFQ out, I would need that direction.
MOTION: Commissioner Sheridan moved to advertise a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for a
Coastal Consulting Firm. Motion seconded by Vice Mayor Brown
ROLL CALL:
Commissioner Sheridan - Yes
Vice Mayor Brown - Yes
Commissioner Trinley - Yes
Mayor Featherman - Yes

• Discussion of Walking Path
Town Manager Weiser — At our last meeting we discussed moving forward with patching up the
walking path. Jack Lee our Public Works Director (PWD) has come up with another alternative
that I am going to have him explain to you and have a discussion as to whether or not you feel
this would be a better alternative.
Jack Lee, Public Works Director — We have $75,000 in this year's budget appropriated for doing
the worse spots of the walk path where the roots are coming up through the asphalt. In
appearance wise it is going to look like a patch job. Since we had Kilbourne & Sons working on
the header curb project at Bel Lido, I asked my Utility Maintenance Superintendent if he could
talk to the Vice President of Kilbourne to see what it would cost to put a one inch overlay on the
entire walk path. I feel like it would give the Commission and the town a relatively new surface
for the next two or three years and, in between now and then, they could decide when and what
they would want to do with the walk path. If this is something the Commission would want to
do, in my opinion in the long term, it would not solve all the problems with the roots. When you
have cracks in the asphalt, usually when you pave over them, they will come back eventually but
I do think it would drastically improve the appearance and aesthetics for that walk path for at
least two or three years. The main thing is the safety part because we have had a lot of residents
complain that there are some trip hazards out there and that is the main reason I looked at this.
Mayor Featherman — Would they cut out the roots? PWD Lee — The overlay does not cut out the
roots at this time. They would do it for an additional thirty to thirty-five thousand dollars. As I
stated in my memo, my long term solution to this problem is to rip the walk path out and replace
it. I understand a walk path could cost anywhere from four hundred thousand to a million
dollars. Mayor Featherman — I have a concern for the safety of our residents.
Comm. Sheridan — As you have mentioned, I feel as though it would be patch work and it would
not look good. The additional cost over the 75,000 is another $75,000 or is it $125,000 for the
total job. PWD Lee — Approximately $50,000 to $75,000. That was a ballpark figure, $125,000.
Comm. Sheridan — You feel we will get an additional two or three years out of this. PAID Lee —
If you want to spend the money to take the roots out, you might get ten years. If you don't, the
root problem is going to come back. Since we put the Royal Palms in, they seem to thrive on
going up underneath the asphalt and that seems to be causing a lot of problems. Comm. Sheridan
— I feel that if we are going to do something at this time with the idea that relatively in the near
future we are going to put a complete new walk path in, I don't know if we want to go out further
than the two or three years if we are considering doing a complete job in the future. We want to
make it safe, that is for sure. PWD Lee — If we do the patch work I don't know if it is going to
give you two or three years. The last time the walk path was repaved was when A 1 A was paved.
That was in 2002 or 2003. At that time DOT applied a one inch overlay. They didn't take out
any roots and it has lasted ten years. Comm. Sheridan — I would be in favor of putting in a one
inch overlay at this point. Comm. Trinley — We have $75,000 budgeted and what would the total
cost for the overlay be? PAID Lee — The ballpark figure is about $125,000, maybe a little more.
The money would come from the Reserve Fund. Comm. Trinley — I agree with the one inch
overlay because of the safety factor. The law suit could cost us much more than the additional
monies involved with the overlay. Vice Mayor Brown — I think we need to do something and I
don't think we need to look ten years out. I think we are fooling ourselves if we say we are not

going to take the roots out and it is going to last for ten years. If we are looking two to three
years down, we have a Strategic Three -year Plan and in that we want to fix the walkway, I don't
think this should be a replacement for our "Streetscape ". $150,000 is a lot of money to turn
around in two years and put in $600,000 but I agree with the Mayor, Commissioner Sheridan and
Commissioner Trinley when they say safety is paramount. I agree with having it fixed. Manor
Featherman — I think we should do it and do it right. We should take the roots out and put the
one inch overlay because if we are going to do this right now we are going to first have a
resident's safety at risk if we don't do it. Then it is a question if it runs us another $25,000 to
take the roots out so we don't have that problem and it could last seven to ten years. Town
Manager Weiser — If you authorize us, and again we have to go out to bid for this particular
project, we would have the overlay and in addition give us alternative costs of what it would be
if they took out the roots when they did the overlay. We could bring both prices to you and you
could decide if you want to go forward with just the overlay or taking the roots out. Vice Mayor
Brown — Would you have them also tell us what the life expectancy would be of the walkway if
we take the roots out because I don't think it is going to get ten years out of it? Town Manager
Weiser — I don't think any of us think it would be ten years. I think it is just buying us a little bit
more time. PWD Lee — Ten years ago we didn't have the root problem that we have now. I
think that is what prolonged the one inch overlay that was done ten years ago. My only thought
is that, if we did the one inch overlay at this time and did not address the roots, we could get at
least two to three years. Mayor Featherman — I would like you to get a price for removing the
roots where it raises the sidewalk as well as the one inch overlay. Comm. Trinley — Could any of
our staff remove the roots before putting in the overlay? PWD Lee — I will look into that. It is
possible we could rent a machine. There is also a chemical you could put along the edge of the
walk path to keep the roots from growing back in.
MOTION: Commissioner Sheridan moved to advertise a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the
repaving of the walk path with a one inch overlay, and in addition, submittal of a separate price
for removing the roots on the walking path. The motion was seconded by Vice Mayor Brown

12. PUBLIC COMMENTS AND REQUESTS RELATED TO ITEMS DISCUSSED AT
MEETING
Al Giachetti, 4211 S. Ocean Blvd — I understand that today you approved to do the study.
Avarom Consulting Company is already doing work for us along the shoreline as well as Darwin
Stubbs, Coastal Engineer and I suggest you put them on your bidding list since they have already
been paid to do about 700 feet of the shoreline. Town Manager Weiser — Part of the government
bidding processes, sometimes it is for bid and sometimes it is a request for qualification and this
time it is for request for qualifications, we have to put out public notice. So they would have to
come in and request the packet. Mr. Giachetti - We are not asking the town to rebuild our dunes
which we lost $150,000 worth and we will have to keep nurturing that. We are asking you to
repair the beaches that are in fact not public to Palm Beach County but I believe they are public to
every resident in Highland Beach. I do not expect the town to pay for the damage on my dock
since it is private and I don't expect to see anyone sitting there but I will see people sitting on the
beach and that is why I believe it is the town's responsibility. My dune is private and I am
protecting the dune but the beach is really for Highland Beach. We have a major breach to the
dune system which we are trying to nurture. If that system gets breached again, it will be on AIA
and then it is a public problem.
Dennis DiFlorio, 4215 S. Ocean Blvd — I would like to say thank you to all the Commissioners
and the Town Manager who voted to move forward with the study. We are not looking for any
money for the damage that has been done to our property. This study will set the groundwork to
get information to understand the severity of the beach erosion. It is not about repairing the
damage that has been done but it is about protecting ourselves from future events that could have
catastrophic events on the beach, which impacts everyone. If the properties on the beach get
severely damaged, everyone's property value will go down and affect all the residents of
Highland Beach. Collectively and from the prospective of a greater community of Highland
Beach, it is a duty and an obligation of the town and all of its residents so that we all can benefit
from the beauty of the entire community.
Allen Teller, 4210 S. Ocean Blvd — I recall a number of years back studies were done for a
similar occurrence paid for by the town. We might make a search to see if we can find, in the
records, the reports submitted to us by the engineers. You should look at them and perhaps
update them.
Town Commission Regular Minutes
December 4 2012 Pa e 11 of 11
George Kelvin Braemar Isle — I am speaking with regards to the sidewalk and what could happen
if you cut the roots since it is something that happened when I was up north. When the roots were
cut and the sidewalk resurfaced, they eventually decomposed and caused a void under the
sidewalk. After some time, the sidewalk collapsed into the void. I feel you should be aware of
this.
Commissioner Sheridan — I would like it known throughout the town that one of our employees,
namely; Carol Holland, has successfully passed her Code Enforcement exam and she will now be
our new Code Enforcement Officer and I think she has done a great job. Congratulations to her.
Carl Feldman, 3210 S. Ocean Blvd — Since this is our last meeting for the year, I would like to
make note about the Calendar. The calendar sales are going quite well, but there are still more
available for purchase. The condominiums have been asked to buy ten calendars, and they would
all be sold if this happened.
