1990.11.07_TC_Minutes_Regular TOWN OF HIGHLAND BEACH, FLORIDA Minutes of Meeting of Town Commission REGULAR MEETING Wednesday, November 07, 1990 7:30 P.M. Mayor Joseph A. Boulay called the Regular Meeting of the Town Commission of the Town of Highland Beach, Florida, to order in the Commission Chambers at Town Hall at 7:30 P.M. Others present were Vice Mayor Bill Paul, Commissioners Marvin A. Waldman, Betty Jean Stewart and Harold C. Chambers. Also in attendance were Town Attorney Thomas E. Sliney, Town Manager Mary Ann Mariano, Town Clerk Anne M. Kowals and members of the general public. Following roll call, the Pledge of Allegiance was given. ADOPTION OF AGENDA The Agenda, amended by moving Items 1 and 2, Items Left Over, under Regular Business, to a position immediately following the Adoption of Agenda, was accepted as amended upon MOTION by COMMISSIONER STEWART/COM- MISSIONER CHAMBERS. Same carried unanimously. • REGULAR BUSINESS Items Left Over 1. Discussion re Gee & Jenson Bike Path Engineering Study Town Manager Mariano noted that at the October Workshop Meeting of the Town Commission, it was the consensus to have Gee & Jenson go ahead with the bid specifications regarding improvements to the bike path and to prepare the necessary applications for the Florida Department of Trans- portation permitting. The Town Manager acknowledged receipt of revised bike path improvements cost estimate from Mr. Scott Bennewitz, a Senior Planner at Gee & Jenson which includes additional figures for pavement overlay on all areas to be widened. Mr. Bennewitz indicated that if the Town proceeds immediately, we would be under construction during Christmas week. Town Manager Mariano noted it might be advisable for the Planner and Commissioners to go on a field trip so we will know what is being discussed with regard to the overlay and widening. Commissioner Waldman noted that he rides the bike path and most of it is 6' wide therefore the Town should forget about widening the bike path and just fix the problem areas. The Commissioner further noted that he would like bids (as soon as possible) from two companies for improving the bike path without widening the path and without removing the trees. Town Manager Mariano commented that the widening is for a total of 795' which is towards the North end of Town in the area of the Holiday Inn. ~ ~"~ Town Commission Regular Meeting Minutes November 07, 1990 Page 2 of 12 It was noted that certain areas of the bike path will have to be redone at the expense of developers following completion of construction at their projects (i.e. Colman and Ince). Commissioner Chambers stated that in May, the Town Commission voted to approve Phase II of the Gee & Jenson Bike Path Study and he thought same would be completed by the summer. In view of the fact that we do not have bid specifications, the Commissioner recommended this matter be placed on the November Workshop Meeting Agenda. Commissioner Chambers, noting he would like to review the bid specifications when they are received, would like to have a field trip as recommended by the Town Manager. Commissioner Stewart suggested Town employees prepare the bike path prior to the field trip by 'edging' the path so as to clean off the grass that has moved across said path thereby affording the Commis- sioners the opportunity to review the bike path properly. If a Special Meeting is necessary following the field trip, the Town Clerk will poll the Commissioners to set a date and time certain. 2. Discussion re Police Department Cellular Telephones The Town Attorney, having reviewed the Interlocal Agreement between the City of Boca Raton and the Town of Highland Beach, noted that paragraph 5 on page 2 and paragraph 12 on page 3 apprear to be pertinent to the discussion and correspondence relating to the matter of Police Depart- ment dispatch service. Upon questioning by Commissioner Chambers, the Town Attorney advised that the addition of a cellular telephone for use by the Police Department could be construed as 'additional equipment' which (per paragraph 5, page 2) is not permitted without the express written approval of Boca Raton's City Manager. The Members discussed information received by Highland Beach Police Chief William Cecere from the Palm Beach County Sheriffs' Office advising they would dispatch our Police Officers without charge provid- ing the Town obtain their own communications equipment which would initially cost approximately $35,000.00. Commissioner Chambers, noting such equipment would enhance our Police Department as well as the fact that Boca will cancel the Interlocal Agreement if the Town goes with a cellular telephone, advised he would like to go with the Palm Beach County Sheriffs' Department and get the cellular phone as soon as possible. The Town Manager, noting it is time to look towards the Sheriffs' Department for services, stated that when the Town Commission opted to go with Boca Raton, the Town entered the Boca Raton contract in good faith therefore we should opt out of the contract in good faith. The issue of a cellular phone, brought up due to cost factor, does not resolve the matter of liability which is a major concern. It was noted Town Commission Regular Meeting Minutes November 07, 1990 Page 3 of 12 that more information from the Palm Beach County Sheriffs' Office is required. During discussion of the cellular phone, Commissioner Chambers stated that a tape recorder could be installed to record all of the Police Department calls. When questioned, Chief Cecere stated to go with the Sheriffs' Office for dispatch service would be the best as the Sheriffs' men would be avail- able if needed. However, the Chief noted that if we elect to terminate the Boca Raton Interlocal Agreement, we should do so in a gentlemanly manner as the Highland Beach Police Department does need Boca Raton for back up. Commissioner Chambers stated the Boca Raton contract should be cancelled as soon as possible and the cellular phone should be purchased as soon as possible. Commissioner Waldman, noting we have a competent chief, commented we have to let him carry the ball with regard to law enforcement problems and policies. During discussion, it was noted that, with the use of the cellular telephone, every person with our cellular phone number becomes a dispatcher; the Town could not have every person with said telephone number dispatching our Police Officers on duty. The Chief advised that a cellular telephone would be useless if we were to Sheriffs' Department. Commissioner Chambers noted phone the Police would be in voice contact with the cellular phone would enhance the service of the Pol COMMISSIONER CHAMBERS made the following MOTION: We purchase of a cellular phone and the implementation place). COMMISSIONER STEWART SECONDED the MOTION. go with the that with a cellular residents; the ice Department. authorize the of it (get it in During discussion of the October 9, 199.0 letter from Capt. Thomas R. Livingston, Commander, Bureau of Administrative Services in the City of Boca Raton (a copy of which is attached to and made a part of these Minutes), Commissioner Stewart questioned the implications of item no. 4 as to whether it was a degree of threat or just a casual comment. The Town Manager, citing Boca City Manager LaSala's letter of October 17, 1990, which states he reviewed Capt. Livingston's letter of October 9, 1990, indicates the Boca City Manager expresses similar concerns. Town Manager Mariano, noting her concern regarding our relations with our neighbors, commented that if we have a chance to opt out in the way we entered into the contract (perhaps by sitting down with Boca and discus- sing the data from the Palm Beach County Sheriffs' Office) Boca may agree to let the Town out of the contract before 18 months. Commissioner Stewart, noting she is committed to the cellular phone, advised that she would like to respond to reasonableness with regard to the negotiations and to the existing contract. The Commissioner would • rather try to opt out of this contract or renegotiate the contract to 1. permit the cellular phone being installed, and 2. a shorter time- frame for the Town to get out of the contract. The Commissioner would Town Commission Regular Meeting Minutes November 07, 1990 Page 4 of 12 request an answer and reply from Boca (and a statement returned to us) saying what they will do by the 1st of the year. If this can not be accomplished amicably, the Commissioner is willing to escalate the matter; negotiate over the next sixty days. If that is not possible, Commissioner Stewart is willing to go with the purchase of the cellular phone and see what has to be done then. The Mayor noted that that would tend to deteriorate our good relation with our neighboring City. At this point, Commissioner Chambers read into the Minutes the following statement which is contained in Boca City Manager LaSala's letter of October 17, 1990 (a copy of which is attached to and made a part of these Minutes): "My concerns are such that there is a possibility that I would find it necessary to recommend that the inter-local agreement be terminated in accord with paragraph 12 of the Agreement, unless a specific understanding can be reached concerning the use by the Highland Beach Police of the cellular phone and its impact on the responsibility and liability of the City of Boca Raton." The Commissioner noted that that sounds like the City of Boca Raton • wants a "hold harmless agreement". The Town Attorney said the Town Commission must come to a consensus as to what it wants to do and then direct someone to talk to Boca Raton to see what they are willing to do in response. Commissioner Chambers requested the Town Commission, through the Town Attorney, conduct those negotiations with Boca Raton. During discussion, Town Manager Mariano noted the sixty days (proposed by Commissioner Stewart) can be used to determine the transitional period the Town will need to implementing the new equipment necessary for the dispatch services from the Sheriffs' Office. Commissioner Stewart, noting a MOTION was made to purchase the cellular telephone; amended same by adding: "at the end of sixty days, pending information received regarding the Sheriffs' Department and negotiations with Boca". Commissioner Chambers then withdrew his MOTION. COMMISSIONER STEWART made the following MOTION: "The Town of Highland Beach approach the City of Boca Raton about the idea of adding a cellular phone to the Police Department here in Highland Beach for the Town's use, residents use, and to enter into a renegotiated contract for an interim period and with the idea that down in the future, in a six month period or so, that we would attempt to go with the Sheriffs' Department if negotiations prove fruitful with them - (with the negotiations with the City of Boca Raton within the next sixty days, so that we have an answer from them within sixty days). Town Commission Regular Meeting Minutes November 07, 1990 Page 5 of 12 Commissioner Chambers stated - sixty days and a six month transition time target. COMMISSIONER CHAMBERS SECONDED the MOTION. It was noted that the Town Manager and the Town Attorney would participate in the Boca Raton negotiations. A roll call vote resulted as follows: Commissioner Stewart "Aye" Commissioner Waldman "Aye" Vice Mayor Paul "Aye" Commissioner Chambers "Aye" Mayor Boulay "Aye" The Town Attorney suggested the Town Manager submit a letter to Boca City Manager LaSalla requesting he review the matter and schedule with Attorney Sliney and Town Manager Mariano an appointment with himself and Boca Attorney Bartelone. The Vice Mayor noted he would be interested in knowing what other small Municipalities are hooked up with the Palm Beach Sheriffs' Office, their satisfaction and feelings in how it is working for them. Town Manager Mariano will obtain this information from surrounding areas. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Seven sets of Minutes, submitted for approval, were accepted as amended • upon MOTION by COMMISSIONER CHAMBERS/COMMISSIONER STEWART. Same carried without objection. PUBLIC COMMENTS AND REQUESTS Mr. Dennie Freeman of the Seagate of Highland, noting he is president of the Seagate Condo, said he hopes the Town does not have bad feeling with regard to Boca Raton. Mr. Freeman spoke with Mr. Bruce Silk of the Boca Raton Fire Department who advised he would like a contract (which would state that fire sprinklers are not necessary) with Highland Beach so that Boca can serve the Sea Ranch and buildings along the beach. Mr. Freeman noted that a contract with Boca Raton would benefit the Condo and the Town . Mr. Leonard Bell of the Villa Magna thanked the Town Commission for the opportunity to enjoy their meeting. With regard to the bike path, Mr. Bell stated it is slow moving and it could be done faster. Mr. Bell noted night meetings allow younger people to participate in Town Government. Mr. Dan Stump of the Seagate questions if any study of cost comparison with regard to Palm Beach County Fire/Rescue as opposed to the Town having its own Fire Department. It was noted that the Town looked into providing paramedics and ambulance service and found the cost to be prohibitive as was the matter of the Town's own Fire Department. • Town Commission Regular Meeting Minutes November 07, 1990 Page 6 of 12 Mr. Harold Hagelmann of Braemer Isles, speaking as a former fire official for 33 years, addressing his comments to residents in condos that are required to retro-fit sprinklers, stated that such sprinklers are the best insurance one can buy. Mrs. Marie Beary of the Seagate questioned if the Town Commission is about to sign a contract with Palm Beach County Fire/Rescue Service. The Mayor advised a contract with Palm Beach County Fire/Rescue Service was signed in order to provide the service as of October 01, 1990; how- ever, the Town can opt out of the contract by February 01, 1991 if a more favorable service is available. It was noted that Boca Raton and Delray Beach would require a provision that Highland Beach comply with all ordinances of Palm Beach County. Mrs. Beary urged the Town not contract with Delray Beach for Fire/Rescue Services unless Delray Beach would agree not to require compliance with Palm Beach County Fire Ordinances which would require sprinklers. The Mayor noted that the Commission is not opposed to Seagate but the Town has to live by the law of the County. Vice Mayor Paul questioned if Seagate made plans to go before the • County Board to request a variance with regard to retro-fitting. Mrs. Beary responded that if they have to they will go for a variance; how- ever, it is doubted that Seagate would be granted a variance. Mrs. Beary implored the Town to find a contract that does not require compliance with the Palm Beach County Fire Ordinance. It was noted that the condos have until May, 1993 to come into compliance with the Palm Beach County Fire Ordinance. REPORTS - TOWN COMMISSION Vice Mayor Bill Paul No report. Commissioner Marvin A. Waldman No report. Commissioner Betty Jean Stewart Commissoner Stewart, noting the Town Commission discussed and tried the televising and scheduling of night meetings for some months, thought it appropriate to re-address the matter at this time. Commissioner Waldman noted that people who would come to the daytime meetings do not come out to the night meetings and he was wondering if night meetings are worth it. It was noted that a tally of people attending the night meetings has been taken and it was found that, while attendance is minimal, there are Town Commission Regular Meeting Minutes November 07, 1990 • Page 7 of 12 very few who do not dents who regularly night meetings. With regard to the Stewart was advised Report. participate in the daytime meetings. However, resi- attend the daytime meetings are not present at the requested James M. Montgomery report, Commissioner same will be discussed under the Town Manager's Commissioner Stewart, noting receipt of a fine presentation from the Chairman of the Water Resources Advisory Board, suggested said Board meet as soon as conveniently possible for the purpose of reviewing the conservation elements with regard to the South Florida Water Management District's consumptive permit so that a more accurate response may be forwarded to South Florida Water Management District by the December Workshop Meeting. In that regard, COMMISSIONER STEWART MOVED that the Water Resources Advisory Board be directed to hold a meeting as soon as conveniently possible to prepare and review the conservation response to South Florida Water Management District's permit requirement utilizing the sheet that was prepared by Chairman Voress and to submit a new response by the Workshop Meeting of December. COMMISSIONER CHAMBERS SECONDED the MOTION which carried without objection. Commissioner Harold C. Chambers Commissioner Chambers, noting he is aware of the concern Seagate residents have with regard to the Palm Beach County Fire/Rescue Services, stated he is concerned with the time it is taking for alternatives. The Commissioner advised one option is a Public Service Organization where Police Officers are trained as fire fighters; another is to rent labor from the Palm Beach County Fire labor group. The Com- missioner requested the Town Manager get quotes from Boca Raton and Delray Beach and research how other Towns have solved their problem. When Commissioner Chambers requested that the Town Manager take a look at some small Town that went with a Public Service Organization, the Town Manager advised the Town has researched that in the past--it works in Manalapan where personnel is cross trained and there are no large buildings. Mayor Joseph A. Boulay Mayor Boulay, referring to Commissioner Stewart's report, noted he would be at meetings day or night, however, he does not know what impact the replaying of the video tape of the Town Commission Meetings is having on the residents as we have no way of telling who is watching the replays. Mayor Boulay reported that the Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections Office advised a total of 1,469 ballots were cast in the Town of Highland Beach in the November 06, 1990 General Election; that represents 51~ of the registered voters. Town Commission Regular Meeting Minutes November 07, 1990 • Page 8 of 12 A memo was submitted by Mayor Boulay to the Town Commission with regard to two changes to the Town's Retirement Plan Contract (required to bring same into compliance with the Federal Laws), supported by the Town Employees. Following discussion of the matter, MOTION was made by COMMISSIONER STEWART/COMMISSIONER WALDMAN to change the Retirement Plan Contract to comply with the Federal Laws. Same carried unanimously. REPORTS TOWN ATTORNEY Town Attorney Sliney reported that, after communicating with the Town Commission Members, it is his feeling on their responses that he go ahead and try to settle the Concordia matter. Attorney Sliney, follow- ing discussion with Concordia's Attorney Silver, will prepare an agree- ment for review by the Town Commission who will have the final workd before the agreement is executed. REPORTS - TOWN MANAGER Town Manager Mariano reported receipt of a letter from Attorney Dan Rosenbaum advising he will be setting up individual meetings with the Commissioners. The Town Manager faxed a letter and a copy of the Well field Modeling Evaluation Study to J. M. Montgomery (the Town's Engineers) requesting that they review same with regard to the C-15 canal, they discuss the matter with South Florida Water Management District and report their findings to the Town. J. M. Montgomery was also requested to do a scope of services for the engineering and construction for a pipeline across the Intracoastal Waterway. The Town Manager is awaiting a list of what the Town would be required to follow with regard to emergency and temporary permits relating to the Intracoasta pipeline crossing. Town Manager Mariano advised the Mayor and Building Official surveyed the area where the sign (warning the public of the Intracoastal pipeline crossing) was located. The sign is no longer in place. A new sign has been ordered and will be installed on the existing piling as soon as it is received. Town Manager Mariano noted receipt of a recycling progress report, sub- mitted by County Sanitation for the first five weeks of the Town's Recycling Program, which indicates the program is working well. Town Manager Mariano reported distributing packets to the Town Commission regarding funding data relating to the Town's park project.
