2014.10.07_TC_Minutes_Regular TOWN OF HIGHLAND BEACH MINUTES OF TOWN COMMISSION MEETING REGULAR MEETING Tuesday, October 07, 2014 1:30 PM Mayor Bernard Featherman called the Regular Meeting to order in the Library's Goldstein Community Room at 1:30 PM. CALL TO ORDER: Roll Call: Members present: Mayor Bernard Featherman; Vice Mayor Ron Brown; Commissioner Louis P. Stem and Commissioner Carl Feldman. Member Absent: Commissioner Dennis J. Sheridan. Also present: Town Attorney Glen Torcivia; Town Manager Kathleen D. Weiser; Town Clerk Beverly M. Brown; Finance Director Cale Curtis; Public Works Director Edward J. Soper; Police Chief Craig Hartmann; Library Director Mari Suarez; Building Official Mike Desorcy; Assistant to the Manager Zoie Burgess; and members of the public. Pledge of Allegiance: The Pledge of Allegiance was given, followed by a minute of silence. Civility Pledge: The Civility Pledge was recited by the Town Clerk. 1. ADDITIONS, DELETIONS OR ACCEPTANCE OF AGENDA: Mayor Featherman asked for any additions or deletions. Town Clerk Brown asked to read a letter into the record from Commissioner Sheridan at the beginning of Public Comments. Receiving no additions or deletions, the agenda was accepted as presented. 2. PUBLIC COMMENTS AND REOUESTS: Town Clerk Brown read a letter from Commissioner Dennis J. Sheridan into the record. (Letter attached as Exhibit "A "). Peter Rodis, 3224 S. Ocean Blvd — I understand the property in Boca Raton has closed and the town is in possession of the monies from the sale of that property. It is important that the Commission advise the residents when something like this takes place. Mayor Featherman stated that he was told by our Finance Director that the money is in the Reserve Fund. Commissioner Stern indicated that the announcement of the sale of the property will be published in the Highlander. Town Commission Regular Minutes October 7, 2014 Page 2 of 11 Dr. Bill Weitz, 1135 Boca Cove Lane — I want to commend our Police Chief and the Police Department for their efforts to maintain an efficient and modern police force. Letters have been generated from the Police Foundation that is now formed to support the police in a non - profit way and to raise funds for additional needs of the police. I support that, but in the future, it might help to specify the projects that the money would be utilized for. Now that the renovation project is complete, it is important that we get a final accounting of public information as to how much funds were expended on the project, since it was taxpayer money. The IG Report came up with an amount for the project of $917,000 and I presume the final amount will be more than that. I am not concerned about what budget fund it came out of, but would like to see an accounting of all and every expenditure that taxpayers monies were spent towards the new project in total. George Kelvin, 4740 S. Ocean Blvd — The Town of Highland Beach has many regulations which are strictly enforced. There are again numerous cars parked on the right -of -way, parked on the grass blocking the bike lanes. I have brought this up many times in the past and nothing seems to be done about it. It is the builder's problem and not our problem. There should be citations given until they can solve this. Mike Stein, 3912 S. Ocean Blvd — I submitted a memo regarding some insights as to how an RFP should be handled and will briefly go over this. I met with Mari and she mentioned that the Town Attorney prepared an RFP, and we were both delighted. Unfortunately she did not see it. I was incredulous because I can't understand how an RFP could be considered prepared without showing it to Mari. In my experience, there is a team that gets involved with procurement. I would advocate that the Town Manager consider putting together a committee, and I would be willing to serve if I could be of any assistance. The first thing with an RFP is you have a bidder's conference. In this case there are a lot of things that are fairly obvious, but the one thing that is not obvious is the egress and how that might be handled. There should be one meeting where they all come and hear the same questions and hear the same answers. Then if anything comes out of this conference which can affect the work statement, it should be amended and then submitted for final bid and submission. The RFP, the statement of work has to define the responsibilities of the architect and engineer, the subcontractors and the town. Town Manager Weiser — Most everything that is in his memo is in the RFP, with the exception that the group is put together when we review the RFP's. Mari saw the RFP at the same time I did and we made sure everything is okay and made any final changes. Elyse Riesa, Boca Cove Lane — We keep talking about the Library renovation. There are a lot of impatient people in Highland Beach wondering why it is taking so long to get this done. We need to have some expedience in getting this done now. I prepared an RFP not knowing that there was one already prepared. It lists how an RFP gets awarded, what the details are all about and who should be on the committee, etc. If I can be of any help to go over that, or if I can submit what I have prepared for you to look at and compare, I would be happy to do that. At the last meeting, I asked questions regarding Letters of Interest and how many bids were done and there was a lot of confusion. There needs to be a definition for all of us to understand the difference between an RFP, an RFQ and a Letter of Interest. I would be happy to explain that to anyone at any time. My question is, will we have competitive bids going forward, and will the qualifications of those that are reviewing these bids be looked at.

PROPOSED ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS: A) ORDINANCE NO. 14 -007 O — Second Reading and Public Hearing AN ORDINANCE OF THE TOWN OF HIGHLAND BEACH, FLORIDA REPEALING, IN PART, ORDINANCE NO. 12 -005 REGARDING THE AMENDMENT TO THE TOWN CHARTER AT ARTICLE II "MUNICIPAL POWERS ", SECTION 2.01 "ENUMERATION OF POWERS ", SUBSECTION (30) "FUNDING LIMITATION "; Town Commission Regular Minutes _October 7, 2014 Page 4 of 11 PROVIDING FOR CODIFICATION; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Town Clerk Brown read Ordinance No. 14 -007 O into the record. Mayor Featherman opened the Public Hearing. Elyse Riesa, Boca Cove Lane asked for clarification on the ordinance. Town Attorney Torcivia explained that Ordinance No. 14 -007 O is repealing the ordinance that incorrectly changed the Charter. We are now back to the $350,000 limit in the ordinance and the Charter. Hearing no other comments or questions, Mayor Featherman closed the Public Hearing. MOTION: Comm. Stern moved to adopt Ordinance 14 -007 O on Second Reading. Motion was seconded by Comm. Feldman ROLL CALL: Commissioner Stem - Yes Commissioner Feldman - Yes Vice Mayor Brown - Yes Mayor Featherman - Yes Motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote. B. ORDINANCE NO. 14 -008 O — Second Reading and Public Hearing AN ORDINANCE OF THE TOWN OF HIGHLAND BEACH, FLORIDA AMENDING ARTICLE IV, "ZONING DISTRICTS," OF CHAPTER 30, "ZONING CODE," OF THE TOWN CODE OF ORDINANCES BY AMENDING SECTION 30 -67, "USES PERMITTED, SPECIAL EXCEPTION, AND PROHIBITED USES", AMENDING SECTION 30 -68, "SUPPLEMENTAL DISTRICT REGULATIONS," TO PROVIDE THAT BOAT LIFTS ARE A PERMITTED USE; PROVIDING FOR CODIFICATION; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFECTIVE DATE. Town Clerk Brown read Ordinance No. 14 -008 O into the record. Mayor Featherman opened the Public Hearing. Silvio Blaskovicz, 1120 Highland Beach Dr . — I would like to appeal to this Board to leave this Ordinance as is. I feel the special exception is very important in the case of boat lifts. The Town Commission should review this because it would prevent having to go to Circuit Court, which is a very costly thing to do. Every case should be evaluated on an individual basis. A Special Exception means Town Commission Regular Minutes October 7, 2014 Page 5 of 11 the Commission does not have to grant it legally; only if it is appropriate. A permitted use means that person has a right. Peter Rodis, 3224 S. Ocean Blvd — I am not sure why we asked for this Special Exception to be removed. I feel it is a mistake. Does a person have the right to put any size boat lift without review, or do they have the prohibition that they must come before the Town unless it is specified what the maximum size is on the boat lift? Dr. Bill Weitz, 1135 Boca Cove Lane — I am not sure what advantages there are to the Town by changing the ordinance in place. What was the problem area or concerns that would result in this proposed change? If this was clarified we might be able to understand why the Commission wants to take itself out of the process and move it into a court system. Town Attorney Torcivia — I believe it was the direction of the Commission, a few months back after you heard a boat lift appeal, to change it from a Special Exception to a Permitted Use and have the final stop in the appeal to the Planning Board as opposed to this Commission. Town Manager Weiser — This was a request from Comm. Feldman and was discussed by the Commission. He was on the Planning Board for years and was hearing these and then they would come to the Commission. He felt it would be more efficient if it just went to the Planning Board. Comm. Feldman — Serving on the Planning Board and also as a Commissioner, I don't think we ever refused a boat lift that the Planning Board has approved. Prior to the Planning Board, it goes to the Building Dept. and also to the State. When it clears those two hurdles and the Planning Board and the Building Dept. puts its stamp of approval on it, going to the Commission was just being redundant. The advantage is to expedite the process. If it doesn't meet building or state requirements, it wouldn't get through the Planning Board. Comm. Stern — To answer Mr. Rodis, there are definite definitive answers to the size of the boat that can be placed on lifts, specific setbacks have to be met. It is all in our Code. I agree with Comm. Feldman. This is just eliminating one step. Vice Mayor Brown corrected Mr. Blaskovicz's statement that the Planning Board is an advisory board. They are a Board that has the right to make decisions. It is created by law and not by the Commission. Peter Rodis again stated his disapproval of this Ordinance and the boat lifts should not be a permitted use but a special exception. Silvio Blaskovicz stated that the state only has jurisdiction over the Intracoastal Water Way and not the canals. His concern is where some of the pilings are being placed in the canals and making it very difficult to get in and out. Building Official Mike Desorcy — Silvio's concern is only with multi - family properties and the setbacks for docks, which is 5 ft. from the property line. There are no setbacks on interior properties; just the end properties. His concern is navigation. We look at the application and the applicant provides information showing that it is not a hazard to navigation, and that the canal is wide enough. Both the Planning Board and I look at it and if there is a concern, we turn it down. MOTION: Vice Mayor Brown moved to adopt Ordinance No. 14 -008 O on Second Reading. The motion was seconded by Comm. Feldman Town Commission Regular Minutes October 7, 2014 Page 6 of 11 ROLL CALL: Vice Mayor Brown - Yes Commissioner Feldman - Yes Commissioner Stern - Yes Mayor Featherman - Yes Motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote. 6. CONSENT AGENDA: Mayor Featherman asked if any additional item needed to be removed from the Consent Agenda Town Clerk Brown read the Consent Agenda into the record: A) Commission to re- appoint Barry Axelrod to the Board of Adjustment and Appeals for a three - year term (10/14 - 09/17). B) Commission to Ratify Collective Bargaining Agreement with the Highland Beach Fraternal Order of Police. C) Commission to Declare certain Property as Surplus and Authorize Disposal. D) Commission to authorize Staff to Proceed on Procuring an Architect/Engineer for the Library Terrace Project. E) Minutes: August 26, 2014 — Workshop Meeting September 2, 2014 — Regular Meeting September 9, 2014 — Budge Public Hearing MOTION: Comm. Stern moved to approve the Consent Agenda as read. Vice Mayor Brown seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: Commissioner Stern- Yes Vice Mayor Brown - Yes Commissioner Feldman - Yes Mayor Featherman - Yes Motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote. 7. NEW BUSINESS: A) Commission to discuss Plans and authorize Budget for Town Hall Renovation Celebration. Town Commission Regular Minutes October 7, 2014 Page 7 of l l Town Clerk Brown stated that the Light Up The Holidays (LUTH) Committee members recommended scheduling the two events on the same day, Monday, December 1 We would have the Open House from 3:00 to 5:00 with LUTH beginning at 5:00. Last year approximately 175 to 200 people attended LUTH, so we expect a full house to attend the open house and to participate in the Light up the Holidays event. LUTH is the only community wide event we have during the year. Town Manager Weiser asked the Commission to set an additional budget on top of Light up the Holidays which would roughly be about $2,000. That would include the dedication plaque, a tent rental because we would have refreshments outside for a long time and would want that covered. We would also have giveaways. Comm. Feldman — I don't think $2,000 would be enough. I think this should be a little bit more of a gala affair, with a ribbon cutting, the Mayor should present it to the town residents, have guided tours through the facilities and perhaps some finger sandwiches and light drinks. We should budget for $3,000 instead of $2,000. Comm. Stem — If we do have an Open House on the same day, I think it would be advantageous to both activities. Celebrating what we have done in the Town Hall, as well as more people who would stay for Light up the Holidays. I have to caution that food and beverages will not be allowed during the tours. I would like to see us hold the budget on the open house to $2,000 to $2,500 tops. Vice Mayor Brown — It is a great idea to do it along with the Light up the Holidays. We could combine our budget and keep it at $2,000. We should have the plaque, and an Open House but I am not sure we need to do a ribbon cutting. Mayor Featherman — I would like to see us spend $3,000 to $4,000 and make it a celebration for our town. Town Manager Weiser clarified that the $2,000 would be in addition to Light up the Holidays. MOTION: Vice Mayor Brown moved to combine the Town Hall opening along with Light up the Holidays, scheduling the Open House from 3:00 to 5:00 and Light Up the Holidays starting at 5: 00 on Monday, December 1, 2014 at a total cost of $3,500.00. Comm. Stern seconded the motion. Commission Discussion: Comm. Feldman questioned the monies needed for the two events since refreshments are included in the $1500 Light up the Holiday's cost. Town Manager Weiser stated that there would be additional refreshments as well as a popcorn machine rental. Comm. Feldman added that there should be a formal ribbon cutting and a dedication ceremony. Town Manager Weiser — Was opposed to a ribbon cutting, and suggested a dedication plaque unveiling. Mayor Featherman stated that the motion does not include the ribbon cutting. Town Commission Regular Minutes October 7, 2014 Page 8 of 11 ROLL CALL: Vice Mayor Brown - Yes Commissioner Stern - Yes Commissioner Feldman - No Mayor Featherman - No Motion failed for lack of majority. MOTION: Comm. Feldman made an amended motion re- stating everything that was in the first motion, but ceremony to include an unveiling of the plaque and a formal ribbon cutting opening the Town Hall and Police Dept. renovations. Motion died for lack of second. Comm. Stern — If it were amended that there would be a plaque dedication and not a ribbon cutting, I would accept that. I don't think the town needs speeches. An unveiling of a plaque and a photo opportunity is all we need. There would be a problem in setting up microphones in the area for Light up the Holidays and then the area for where we do a plaque. If we do a ribbon cutting, we will end up with speeches and will not have the attention of the residents, and I don't think it is proper. Comm. Feldman — I think the residents deserve some type of formal Open House. There doesn't have to be speeches, but the Mayor or Town Manager should be able to greet and welcome the people. Library Dir. Suarez — The Library and the R.O. Plant were opened at the same time. I don't remember a ribbon cutting, but I do remember a great deal of speeches and it took a long time. It was very big. We had a tent and food and I don't remember the cost. Comm. Stern — A ribbon cutting held to one welcoming speech of a few minutes should not be a problem, and it is what the residents want. MOTION: Comm. Stern moved to have Light up the Holidays, an Open House for the new construction with a Plaque Presentation and Ribbon Cutting limited to one speech of a few minutes by our Mayor. The total budget for the Open House and the plaque is $2,000 in addition to the amount budgeted for Light Up the Holidays. Comm. Feldman seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: Commissioner Stern - Yes Commissioner Feldman - Yes Vice Mayor Brown - No Mayor Featherman - Yes Vice Mayor Brown gave his reason for voting no. The reason being is that there were two people on the Commission that voted no when we tried to get this project approved, and one of them was the Mayor. Motion passed with a 3 to 1 vote. Town Commission Regular Minutes October 7 2014 Pasze 9 of 11 8. MISCELLANEOUS — ITEMS LEFT OVER: None. 9. REPORTS — TOWN COMMISSION: A) Commissioner Carl Feldman — In response to Vice Mayor Brown's statement, the two votes were not against the project, but against the process. Palm Beach County has a purchasing website where they put out bids for anything they are looking to buy. It would be beneficial to the Commission and the residents to look at this website and the way they ask for proposals. Instead of advertising in the Palm Beach Post, we should be able to contact the vendors ourselves. Mike Desorcy could give us the name of many vendors that work in this town. Regarding the cars parking on the street, it is getting very bad. Cars are parked on the bike lane and it is becoming very dangerous for the bikers. I have personally contacted the Code Enforcement Officer regarding this issue. The Commission received a registered letter from the Regency Highland and it is a petition about the process of building next door to Toscana. I realize it does not meet the petition process of the town, but there are enough names to at least answer these people when they send something like this. It should have been placed on the agenda to show the residents that we do care when they send us a registered letter. I am letting them know that we are looking into this and it will be on the November 19' agenda for the Board of Adjustment. When the town staff puts together a RFQ, it should be public so we all can read it including the Commissioners before it goes out. B) Commissioner Louis P. Stern — No report. I want to extend my well wishes to Comm. Sheridan for a speedy recovery. C) Vice Mayor Brown — I also want to extend my well wishes to Comm. Sheridan. I would like to clarify what Commissioner Feldman brought up. There is no bike lane in the Town of Highland Beach. It is a shoulder. The highway is shared by bicycles and cars. E) Mayor Featherman — I want to extend well wishes to Comm. Sheridan. Regarding the bicycle situation, I realize we do have a problem. It is a dangerous situation for both the bicyclists and the motorists. I am hoping we can solve this situation one day. 10. REPORTS — TOWN ATTORNEY GLEN TORCIVIA: The Boca property has been sold and I would like to thank the Mayor, who was out of town at that time, for expediting the sale of the property and returning the paperwork promptly. I also want to send my well wishes to Comm. Sheridan for a full and speedy recovery. 11. REPORTS — TOWN MANAGER KATHLEEN D. WEISER: In addition to the Boca property closing this month, you finalized the Union Contract with your Police Officers and we also approved the budget. A pre - proposal mandatory meeting was held yesterday with the people who are going to be bidding on our solid waste and recycling services. Five companies were Town Commission Regular Minutes October 7 2014 Page 10 of 11 represented and they have until Friday to submit any questions pertaining to the RFP. Their proposals are due back October 24 and the selection meeting will be October 29 The Commissioners will be under a Code of Silence. Town Attorney Torcivia — The Code of Silence simply means you are not to speak to bidders. Manager Weiser - At your workshop meeting there was a discussion regarding the Financial Advisory Board's recommendation to consider appointing an Ad Hoc Committee to review the Charter spending limit. Consensus was that an Ad Hoc Committee was not needed since the Financial Advisory Board is an Ad Hoc Committee and the Commission takes advice from them already. The Financial Advisory Board is taking that as you would like their advice on the funding limitation. They have a meeting coming up and would you like them to look at the funding limitation Charter referendum. Consensus was for the Financial Advisory Board not look into the a funding limitation referendum. The construction display card for the construction workers dashboards is getting ready to go to print. It has all the rules in both English and Spanish. The Certificate of Occupancy was issued today on the building renovation. The Police Department will be moving in there today. 12. PUBLIC COMMENTS AND REQUESTS RELATED TO ITEMS DISCUSSED AT MEETING: Jim Jiovanazzo, 3700 S. Ocean Blvd — I also concur that there is no bike lane. There are times when I have to walk out into the street because while walking north there are sections of the path that are 6 to 8 inches deep in water. George Kelvin, Braemer Isle — I ride on AIA on a daily basis and there are many signs that say "bike path ". If this is a shoulder, then the DOT should post signs indicating it is a shoulder and do not ride on the shoulder. Mike Stein — 3912 S. Ocean Blvd — Regarding Comm. Feldman's comment regarding vendors, I met with Mike Desorcy and he indicated that there are plenty of contractors /architects that he could name. In addition to advertising, I urge you to seek out names. The renovation requires a door, window supplier and we can contract directly through him or through the architect/engineer. I inquired whether there would be any savings doing it directly. I was told that there is no cost savings since he would have to do the same work as the architect/engineer; permitting, calculations, provide all the equipment. My point is that any markup we pay to an architect, we get no value for that. Silvio Blaskovicz 1120 Highland Beach Dr . stated that he was against the approval of Ordinance No. 14 -008 O and feels that the Commission should take each application on face value and not base it on the previous Board's findings. Elyse Riesa, 1133 Boca Cove Lane addressed the bike lane issue. The town does not actually have a bike lane, but bicyclists use the shoulder when riding as opposed to using the walking path and possibly injuring a pedestrian. Perhaps, at some future meeting, we could talk about improving the shoulders so they could be bike lanes and make it a lot safer, not only for the bicyclists but pedestrians, on the walkways. Comm. Stern — When the State widened our highway, they created those shoulders and they narrowed the lanes from 12 ft. to 11 ft. to create them. There is no more room. According to State regulations, a bike lane must be more than 2 -1/2 feet wide and that is why it is not a legitimate bike lane, even though they are used by bikes. Town Commission Regular Minutes October 7, 2014 Page 11 of 11 Rhoda Zelniker, 3912 S. Ocean Blvd — As a biker, I know that legally a biker on the road has the same rights as a vehicle. That is the law. Regarding petitions, at the last meeting the Attorney made a reference to the fact that you can have a petition and it can be honored, but when it comes to anything with a referendum, you have to have X amount of people. At the Beaches & Shores Advisory Board meeting we requested a letter be sent to the Board of Adjustment & Appeals regarding the proposed variance application for the property south of Toscana stating that we are not in favor of granting this variance and the ecological affects it will have on our environment. Town Clerk Brown indicated that a letter will be forthcoming. 13. ADJOURNMENT: There being no further business to come before the Commission, Mayor Featherman adjourned the Regular Meeting at 3:08 PM upon a MOTION by Commissioner Stern; seconded by Commissioner Feldman. APPROVED: Be rd Featherman, Mayor Ron Brown, Vice Mayor Dennis J. Sheridan, Commissioner tl te ommissioner a n, ommissioner C ATTEST: Beverly M. Brown, MMC Town Clerk H Date Z4- Xf/iBi T // Dear Mayor, Vice Mayor, Commissioners, Town Manager and Town Attorney: Please accept my apology for missing the workshop meeting as well as today's meeting due to illness. First let me say 1 did my homework and was well prepared to voice my opinion on the previous meeting minutes and letters addressed to the Commission but I have since had a complete change of mind in what I want to say. For the past few weeks I have been unable to eat or sleep properly and have lost considerable weight. Up until then, I had a great year healthwise and eagerly looked forward to celebrating our 55 anniversary on the 10 with a transatlantic cruise, we are in the middle of remodeling our condo, all our family are doing well and in the blink of an eye, everything has changed. After a few tests this past week I have been told I need major surgery asap to remove a tumor on my stomach. The reason I have shared this with you is to emphasize how quickly our lives can be changed and to waste time and energy on petty and non - productive issues, as has happened here repeatedly, is just plain wrong. When an issue is resolved, let it go and move on and do not waste time going over and over the same issues. I truly feel the Town is blessed with a dedicated Town Commission that is willing to work hard for the betterment of our residents and should not be badgered over and over when decisions are not made to their liking. It is my wish as I approach this serious surgery that this Commission along with our residents can work together for the good of our Town and stop all the negativity of these past months. Let us all work together and restore the feeling 1 first had when I came on the Commission, one of friendship, progress and commitment. I will return as soon as possible. Sincerely, Dennis J. Sheridan Commissioner
