PROPOSED ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS: Town Clerk Gaskins read the Proposed Ordinance title into the record. A. PROPOSED ORDINANCE / MECHANICAL AND HAND BEACH CLEANING AN ORDINANCE OF THE TOWN COMMISSION OF THE TOWN OF HIGHLAND BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER 5, "BEACHES AND BOATS," SECTION 5-10, "BEACH RAKERS," OF THE TOWN CODE OF ORDINANCES BY PROVIDING REGULATIONS FOR MECHANICAL AND HAND BEACH CLEANING; PROVIDING FOR THE REPEAL OF LAWS IN CONFLICT; PROVIDING FOR CODIFICATION AND SEVERABILITY; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. (FIRST READING WAS NOVEMBER 6, 2018) Town Manager Labadie introduced this item. He explained that the Commission postponed action on this ordinance until today's meeting since they had concerns related to the ordinance's impact to long-term health of sea turtle nesting habitat and beach ecosystem and the potential costs and logistics of removing and disposing of all collected seaweed. Some concern arose related to the possible conflict between Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWCC). Staff contacted Dr. Sarah Milton, Associate Professor of Biological Sciences at Florida Atlantic University (FAU) for an opinion regarding the proposed regulations impact to sea turtle nesting and habitat and overall beach ecosystem. Dr. Sarah Milton, Ph.D. provided an education opinion and a copy was distributed to the Commission. One of the issues that remains undiscussed is potential burial of seaweed only in the wet sand or below the high-water mark. We would prohibit that as the ordinance is written today. Dr. Milton spoke about the rutting, which if not addressed, could cause a problem with the sea turtle hatchlings. This could be handled through code enforcement. She explained that some of the sargassum seaweed is actually good for not only the sea turtle hatchlings but also for beach erosion. The question is if the DEP will allow the burial of clean seaweed in the wet line. Town Commission Workshop Minutes Date: January 29, 2019 Page 4 of 13 Mayor Zelniker questioned whether the starting hours of the beach rakers is in the ordinance. Town Manager Labadie explained it is not in the ordinance but it is in the DEP permit. They cannot start before sunrise. Some of the issues we are experiencing is lack of enforcement. This ordinance will permit us to get on the beach to ensure those provisions are being met. Commission Discussion: Commissioner Donaldson explained that in looking through the recommendations, most have been accommodated and perhaps some may need clarification. The burial of the seaweed is a very complicated thing. This was brought up at the Natural Resources Preservation Board meeting and it was suggested that they might look into how to deal with the big seaweed problem. Commissioner Gossett -Seidman referred to Dr. Milton's comment regarding her reasons for leaving sargassum on the beach. She suggested tweaking this ordinance further. She questioned why the beach rakers were allowed to start at sunrise and not the same time as construction workers, which is 8:00 AM. Town Manager Labadie explained that the construction work hours are related to construction only. This may need to be revisited so the hours would cover landscaping, beach raking and other services as well as construction. Commissioner Gossett - Seidman was in favor of this ordinance with the modifications to accommodate Dr. Milton's notes. Commissioner Riesa asked if these ordinances that were put in front of us were given to the proper advisory boards first; especially the Natural Resource Preservation Board to ensure the safety our environment, beach erosion and the turtle nesting season. She wanted clarification regarding the difference in cost of seaweed removal. Her concern was erosion on the beach and if there is anything that could be done naturally, we should be thinking about protecting our beach and our turtles. She agrees that people who live on the beach should not be disturbed so early with noise from the beach rakers. There should be consideration for the start time during turtle nesting season as well as a start time for when the snowbirds are here during season. She asked that the Natural Resource Preservation Board review this ordinance and give their opinion before she votes on it. Vice Mayor Nila explained that there are no guidelines on the books at this time and we need code enforcement, rules and citation codes. According to Dr. Milton's study, the proposed ordinance complies with DEP and Florida Fish and Wildlife guidelines. This has already been discussed at the Natural Resource Preservation Advisory Board and they gave their opinion. The issue is the burying of the seaweed that contains debris because the Town does not have an access point for the beach rakers to sift the debris from the seaweed and remove it from the beach. We can address the start time and making sure nothing is being buried in the wet sand line. Our point is to do the best we can for all of our residents and this is a good start. She suggested bringing this ordinance back to the next meeting with the changes discussed at today's meeting. Town Commission Workshop Minutes Date: January 29, 2019 Page 5 of 13 Mayor Zelniker provided comments regarding the DEP's recommendation that the Town take over the beach raking. She mentioned that the Commission voted on hiring a part-time environmentalist to get involved with trying to obtain Federal or State grants. She agrees that this ordinance should come back to the next meeting with the changes discussed. The plastic issue is the biggest problem on the beach and we need to do something as a Town. Commissioner Gossett -Seidman addressed Dr. Milton's report that states a conflict in the ordinance Part 3fg (DEP guideline) and would like clarification. She asked that the hours of raking, the ruts and the tire PSI and leaving some sargassum and if not taking some of the excess and the burial of the seaweed be clarified in the ordinance. Commissioner Riesa asked for clarification regarding the cost to the beach rakers due to this ordinance, and whether or not it would be a problem to residents. She mentioned that she is not in favor of doing this and wants it to be done right before it is turned into a law and cite people. Town Manager Labadie explained that he spoke with the two beach raking companies and they did indicate that it would increase the cost as the ordinance is written since we do not allow burial in the wet sand. That means that everything they rake, they would have to take out and haul it away. The increase in cost would depend on the amount of seaweed that is on the beach. He asked if the Commission would allow the seaweed to be buried in the wet sand if it is permitted by the DEP. Vice Mayor Nila explained that the issue is that we cannot bury something if it has garbage in it. We would either have to find an access point for the rakers to bring in the equipment they would need to sift the seaweed or come up with some other alternative. If we continue to bury the garbage, we are not improving the environmental health of our beach. Commissioner Riesa concurred that any seaweed that is buried should not have any trash in it. Plastic is a major issue on the beach and suggested anyone walking the beach bring a plastic bag and pick up the plastic and debris. Discussion ensued regarding leaving the sargassum on the beach or removing it and the debris that is found in the sand the seaweed. Town Attorney Ryan will prepare a revised ordinance with the changes discussed at today's meeting. Town Commission Workshop Minutes Date: January 29, 2019 Paye 6 of 13 B. PROPOSED ORDINANCE / STREET PARKING Town Clerk Gaskins read the Proposed Ordinance / Street Parking into the record. AN ORDINANCE OF THE TOWN COMMISSION OF THE TOWN OF HIGHLAND BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER 16 "MOTOR VEHICLES AND TRAFFIC". ARTICLE I "IN GENERAL", BY MODIFYING THE CURRENT REGULATIONS TO REMOVE OUTDATED PROVISIONS AND TO ALLOW FOR ON STREET PARKING IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS; PROVIDING FOR THE REPEAL OF LAWS IN CONFLICT; PROVIDING FOR CODIFICATION AND SEVERABILITY; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Town Manager Labadie introduced this item. Commission Discussion: Commissioner Donaldson referred to Item 16-5a on Page 3 regarding commercial vehicle parking in cases of emergencies. He asked for clarification and who is. responsible for declaring an emergency. Town Attorney Ryan explained that this is private property and if you have a plumbing issue or something of that nature, you do not need to wait to get permission from the Police Department. Commissioner Gossett -Seidman provided comments regarding two vehicles parked on both sides of the street across from each other. She asked if there was a way to modify this so that we have just one side of the street parking on any given side street. Police Chief Hartmann explained that it is difficult to regulate that. We may have to word this a bit differently because we do not want there to be any bottlenecking on the side streets. He suggested discussing this further and decide what the Commission wants to accomplish so people understand and there is no miscommunication. Commissioner Gossett -Seidman suggested this could be done through enforcement. Commissioner Riesa is in favor of the ordinance. Vice Mayor Nila concurred with Chief Hartmann's comments regarding clarifying what the Commission wants to accomplish. She suggested having parking stickers made for residents to place on their car to show they are allowed to park on the street. Mayor Zelniker explained that there needs to be space on the street for an emergency vehicle and this needs to be incorporated. If a resident is having some type of party, they need to direct their guests to park on one side of the street only. Commissioner Donaldson asked if we do not have anywhere in the ordinance some type of universal statement regarding access. or is it missing. Town Attorney Ryan explained it is Town Commission Workshop Minutes Date: January 29, 2019 Page 7 of 13 Florida State Law that there has to be enough area f'or a fire truck. The way the ordinance is written, if you are having a party, you can only park in your driveway or in front of your house or on the same side of the street. We will try to make it clearer. C. PROPOSED RESOLUTION / DECLARATION OF UNITY OF TITLE A RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN COMMISSION OF THE TOWN OF HIGHLAND BEACH. FLORIDA. APPROVING A DECLARATION OF UNITY OF TITLE FOR THE PROPERTIES LOCATED AT 3615 AND 3617 SOUTH OCEAN BOULEVARD PRESENTED TO THE TOWN BY DECOY INVESTMENTS, LLC; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Town Manager Labadie introduced this item. Mary McKinney, Town Planner provided a background regarding this issue. The owner of the property, Decoy Investments LLC desires to expand their driveway from 3615 South Ocean Boulevard onto 3617 South Ocean Boulevard and create an open and :landscaped courtyard with no permanent enclosed structures. The Unity of Title would join that so the setbacks would all be as one lot. Staff asked the owner if they would be interested in providing the Town with an easement and respectfully declined. Commission Discussion: Commissioner Donaldson has no issue with this Proposed Resolution and hopes they would keep the door open for the Town's request for an easement. Commissioner Gossett -Seidman concurs with Commissioner Donaldson. Commissioner Riesa asked if there are any negatives to this request. Town Planner McKinney replied there are no negatives. Commissioner Riesa asked what would happen if they did not approve this. Town Attorney Ryan explained that the reasons for saying no would have to do with not understanding what they are doing on the property and not because they are denying an access point. They would have to come back for a site plan approval. She explained that unifying this property, it becomes one lot and they have agreed that they would not erect a structure on that piece of land. Town Planner McKinney explained that they provided the Building Department with conceptual plans that shows the layout of the driveway for the lot. Vice Mayor Nil a asked to see the plans and what they are actually trying to do before this is approved since this is directly across the street from Town all. She questioned whether there was any monetary easement discussed with them. Town Planner McKinney replied that we asked them to consider an easement. They came back and said no. They did not mention money. Vice Mayor Nila suggested they should be offered some type of monetary incentive for the easement. She asked if there could be a condition of approval that they cannot do anything other than what is proposed in the future. Town Manager McKinney indicated they could attach their exhibit, it is conceptual and the plan will be done with the plans that are attached to this. Town Commission Workshop Minutes Date: January 29, 2019 Page 8 of 13 Mayor Zelniker read staff's report that states the request is not incompatible with the Town's Comprehensive Plan or Zoning Code. She questioned what type of court would be placed on the property and would there be any trees planted for beautification. Jeffrey Levine, Attorney for Decoy Investments LLC explained that his client purchased the property to protect himself or herself from having multiple family townhomes built on the property. He explained that the code provides for unifying the property. The owner's original plan was to build a sports court but decided against that. Mayor Zelniker requested the owner plant some trees or native shrubs on the property. This Proposed Resolution will be placed on the February 5, 2019. Regular Meeting. 7. NEW BUSINESS: Town Clerk Gaskins read items 7A thru 7D into the record. A) Approval of Meeting Minutes: January 8, 2019 — Regular Minutes It was the consensus of the Commission to place the January 8, 2019, Regular Minutes on the February 5, 2019 Regular Meeting Consent Agenda. B) Approval to Purchase the Link Electronics Close Captioning Encoder for Live Streaming and Broadcasting of public meetings. Town Manay-er Labadie introduced this item. He explained that ADA requires that public meetings broadcasted live on Channel 99 and/or live streamed on the website must have closed - captioning. Staff has consulted with NodeOIT, our consulting firm, to determine the best solution to effectively provide closed captioning for our live broadcasts on Channel 99 and live streaming on our website. He has recommended the Link Electronic Encoder ACE -2000\492 as the best option for our existing broadcasting equipment. A copy of his technology recommendation was given to the Commission detailing why this was this encoder was the best option. The cost is $46,635.00. Commission Discussion: Commissioner Donaldson questioned if there were any concerns f'or budgeting this item. Town Manager Labadie explained that in the end this would be less costly than using the interpreters at every meeting. Commissioner Gossett -Seidman was in favor of purchasing the encoder. Town Commission Workshop Minutes Date: January 29, 2019 Page 9 of 13 Commissioner Riesa asked the age of the equipment. Town Manager Labadie replied that it is relatively new and is worth over several hundred thousand dollars. Vice Mayor Nila asked for confirmation that with this encoder we will have Channel 99 as well. Mayor Zelniker asked when this would start. Town Manager Labadie replied that after approval, we would purchase the equipment and the IT Consultant would install it. It was the consensus of the Commission to place this item on the February 5, 2019 Regular Meeting Consent Agenda. C) Consideration and Approval of Florida Power and Light (FPL) LED Lighting Agreement regarding Streetlight Conversation. Town Manager Labadie introduced this item. Originally, FPL was to install 76 -watt LED lights within each streetlight fixture. However, 40 -watt LEDs were installed. He explained that the agreement with FPL, is to accept the 40 -watt LED in lieu of the 76 -watt LED, which reduces our monthly lighting costs. The conversion to the 40 -watt LED has been completed. Additionally, FLP would reimburse the Town for the costs incurred to date based on the assumption of a 76 - watt LED. The lower wattage lights are better for the turtle -nesting season, will lower our costs and no concerns have been voiced regarding the lower wattage lights. It was the consensus of the Commission to place this item on the February 5, 2019 Regular Meeting Consent Agenda. D) Discussion of Town Boards and Committees Composition, Appointments and Decision Making. Town Manager Labadie introduced this item. Staff is looking for clarification with regard to appointed boards and committees. Ordinance No. 18-004 O outlines the qualifications for the appointments to the Financial Advisory Board, Code Enforcement Board and the Natural Resources Preservation Board. There are no qualifications for the Planning Board and the Board of Adjustment and Appeals. Staff is looking for clarification regarding any type of locational qualifications on any of the boards and committees to ensure they fairly represent property ownership types. There is also a need to clarify the process for advertising vacant positions and the process for re -appointments. most importantly in the case of the Chairperson and how the reappointment should be handled. With regard to the decision-making process for boards and committees, there appears to be a desire to move the final approval authority on certain site plans. development orders or other types of work to the Town Commission. Town Commission Workshop Minutes Date: January 29, 2019 Page 10 of 13 Commission Discussion: Commission Donaldson provided comments regarding location. Some of the boards have multiple members from one community. He suggested the Chairperson be the one to decide if he feels there are too many candidates from one location. He commented on the qualifications and suggested there be particular ones for specific boards. Regarding Ordinance No. 18-004 O, he suggested revisiting the decision made on this ordinance that places the Board of Adjustment and Appeals under the purview of the Town Commission. It is of the utmost importance that this board be kept an independent Quasi -Judicial body free of any political influence. Commissioner Gossett -Seidman commented on the boards meeting in the morning and eliminates those who would like to serve but cannot because they work during the day. She suggested all applications go through the boards and they work with the Commission as well. There needs to be more communication with the residents regarding the vacancies on the boards and single-family homes and townhomes need to be represented as well as condominiums. She asked that there be qualifications for the Planning Board and the Board of Adjustment and Appeals and have those boards report to the Commission and work with the Commission in a joint effort. Commissioner Riesa requested more time to review this and asked that it be put on the agenda at a later date. She suggested sending a postcard to the residents with questions based on what it is we want answers to, such as the requirements needed for each particular board and asking for their email to improve our database. We need to get better communication with our residents. She concurred with Commissioner Donaldson regarding the Board of Adjustment and Appeals be kept as an independent Quasi -Judicial body and commented on the ability and qualifications of those board members to make the right decision. She suggested that the chairperson be appointed by their board members. It is important that the Commission appoint a candidate with the proper qualifications for that particular board. Vice Mayor Nila addressed the locational qualifications for board members. There should not be more than one person on a board from one building. She concurred with Commissioner Gossett - Seidman regarding having meetings in the evenings to give working people the opportunity to apply. She agreed that there needs to be criteria for qualifications for the Planning Board and the Board of Adjustment and Appeals. She was in favor of having the Commission make the final decision regarding variances with the recommendations from the Board of Adjustment and Appeals. Mayor Zelniker asked the Town Attorney to put in writing exactly what an advisory board is and does and then incorporate all the comments and recommendations discussed at this meeting. She. recommended moving forward at the next meeting and interview the two candidates for the Planning Board. Commissioner Gossett -Seidman asked how other municipalities handle their boards. Town Attorney Ryan explained that the Planning Board is the only board that you must have and there are State laws regarding this board. The Planning Board reviews the Comprehensive Plan changes, review land use documents and land development regulations. The statute outlines Town Commission Workshop Minutes Date: January 29, 2019 Paye 11 of 13 their responsibilities. She provided comments regarding other communities she is familiar with. Highland Beach has a hybrid system where you allow your Board of Adjustment and Appeals to hear appeals and be the final decision maker. She recommended making some adjustments with the Planning Board. There are some things the Planning Board should hear and there are some things that should come before the Commission because you are the elected officials. Because the Town is so small, it is difficult to find the type of people you are looking for. This Town might benefit by having night meetings because of the working people. Town Attorney Ryan will come back to the Commission with what is expected of an advisory board. Commissioner Riesa suggested residents attend the advisory board meetings to learn what they are all about and what is important. Vice Mayor Nila suggested Town Attorney Ryan put in writing some rules or decorum for the advisory boards to make sure they follow certain protocol and stay within the lines and bounds of what their purpose is. S. MISCELLANEOUS — ITEMS LEFT OVER: None. 9. CIVILITY PLEDGE: Town Clerk Gaskins read the Pledge of Civility into the record. 10. PUBLIC COMMENTS ON AGENDA ITEMS DISCUSSED AT THIS MEETING Limited to three (3) minutes per person Ann Roy provided comments regarding seaweed and the fact that they are valuable health foods. She suggested having solar streetlights, which would avoid having to pay FP&L. Janet Friedman commented on the beach access at 3715/3717 South Ocean Boulevard. She suggested presenting the owner with allowing beach access for emergency vehicles and beach cleaning only and making it aesthetically pleasing so it would block their view. Barbara James explained that during turtle season, which is March through October, the beach rakers are not allowed on the beach prior to 9:00 AM. A reminder that tides affect when they can be on the beach also. She informed the Commission that the two beach raking companies are willing to speak before the Commission and answer any questions you may have. John Boden asked that the Commission table the beach raking issue so it can be given more consideration and not rushed into. Town Commission Workshop Minutes Date: January 29, 2019 Page 12 of 13 Carrie Borg commented on the start time coinciding with the construction hours. Mobilizing one-half hour before 8:00 AM could be a problem for the residents. There could be options for burying seaweed. 11. REPORTS — TOWN COMMISSION: A) Commissioner Barry Donaldson commented on his orientation as Commissioner and thanked the staff for all their help. He met with the Town Manager, toured the Water Plant and the Police Department and attended the various Town board meetings. B) Commissioner Peggy Gossett -Seidman welcomed Commissioner Donaldson. She commented on her goals that were left over from last year. One is evening meetings, on occasion, for the boards as well as the Commission.

She was in favor of the Commissioners meeting with Condo Boards to share ideas, concerns, etc. C) Commissioner Elyse Riesa thanked the Commission for their civility towards each other.

Nila commented on her meeting regarding sea level rise and lawsuits that are pending with municipalities who knew about sea level rise, flooding and coast line issues and took no action. We need to review our signage ordinance and make them more consistent. She has received many complaints regarding the existing signs. We are trying to do the best for the Town and personal attacks are not necessary. E) Mayor Rhoda Zelniker supports and encourages all residents to vote on the Town's three referendums: underground utilities, storm water system and sidewalk improvements. Residents will be asked to vote on their preferences at the March 12 Municipal Election in the Highland Beach Library. She commented on the referendum and explained that only if the referendum is passed, can the Planning Board and Commission add or delete items in the project. It is important to note that the Commission cannot apply for grants or monies available from the State and government for any of these projects unti l a referendum is passed. A 1 A wi l l be torn up and current upgraded safety and compliance requirements will be installed whether or not the referendum is passed and you might not like what they install. A 1 A is a State road. The infrastructure of this Town has not been addressed for many years and the opportunity is now to make a difference. There has been a great deal of misinformation going around. The residents will receive a fact sheet in the mail this week and they need to vote by the facts. She commented on being personally attacked regarding this project and informed those who are doing so that their emails will become a part of a public record.
