Commission - workshop

Hey, Tammy, can you hear me? Yes.

Okay. All right. We'll go and get started.

I'm not going to go over both D and E. Those are going to obviously be repetitive items. We'll start with 2B, which is going to be a discussion on the Gulfview Harbor. area for the proposed training center was at to discontinue that project and to preserve that actual site. 2C is gonna be a discussion of Girl Scout Park parcel. Both of those were requested items by Vice Mayor Turkin. And that is to look for possible future restrictions on the use of that particular parcel.

Go ahead and scroll down to 3, Tammy. You scrolled too far. You got to come back.

All right, 3A, you got an announcement of the Senior Prom. Boynton Beach Recreation and Parks Department is going to be hosting Senior Prom for 2026. This event will be held at 5 p.m. Friday, September 18th at Arts and Cultural Center. Last year, it was held at the Women's Club. because our arts and cultural center was still being completed. So it's going to be definitely, definitely be an upgraded event. Mayor?

One thing is it is sold out. So I don't know if people, it's not really sold out because it's a free event, but I don't know if there's any tickets on standby. If we announce it and people in the audience want to go, I don't know if we have the capacity. So that was something I wanted to note.

Craig or Amanda, are you guys on? Andrew, is Gregor a man-bob?

I believe Marvelous might be setting everything up. I don't know.

Okay, is Marvelous on then?

Hey, how you guys doing? My name... Hey, guys, how you guys doing?

My name's Dustin DeNoise. I'm in place for Marla. She had an emergency situation. So I can answer this senior prom question. Yes, what Ms. Shelton said is correct in terms of the senior prom. We are sold out and, you know, we're trying to manage it capacity-wise. So we can remove that.

And I also, I don't think when we say sold out, I think people aren't understanding that this is something that was not a charge to the seniors. So maybe that it's full capacity or something, but, you know... Just looks like we were selling tickets for this and it was a free event.

We'll get that removed from the agenda just so we don't confuse people. And we can have someone come up during public audience just to mention that it's, like you said, not sold out, but at capacity.

Does anyone know what the capacity of the Arts and Cultural Center is? I want to say it's right around 300 or 400 people. 350?

I don't know. Maybe what you want to say is we're having it on this event. Unfortunately, we're already at capacity. If you're interested, please look out for it next year in September of 2027. Okay.

And I don't, I mean, I assume it's saying that we're full capacity. So if there's a waiting list right now, I don't know what's going on, to be honest. So I just don't want people, I've been getting a lot of texts already about it. You know, hey, I want to get in there. And I'm like, oh.

Well, I think it doesn't, I think it says it's sold out on social media too. That's the phrase that's used. So maybe we need to update that to just saying, you know,

If we're at max capacity, that's going to be a fire marshal issue. So we're not going to be able to let more people in if we're already capping out at 300 people. Right.

Yeah, if tomorrow somebody can just give me an update on how many people are RSVP'd and just to make sure we have the check-in because if we're at full capacity, we've got to have that check-in down.

Andrew, can you make a note of that, please? Go ahead, Denoy. Yeah, we could do that for you, Ms. Chappell.

I appreciate it.

You're welcome. All right, Tammy, let's go ahead and go to four.

Public audience. Five is going to be community support funds. I'll briefly go over those. Commissioner Cruz has Young and Faith for $500. She also has a Boynton Beach High School cheerleaders for $250 and Bulldogs cheerleaders for $250. Vice Mayor Turkin has Boynton Purple Cobras for $1,000 and East Boynton Beach Little League for $1,000. Advisory board appointments. Tammy, you want to go over those?

Hey Dan real quick before we jump into that Tammy.

I think I have $75 left. Can we just can you just do a form that that goes to to the Friends of the Library for the baskets and then Dan can we get together this next week about the holiday baskets because now we're kind of an influx in the department that you shifted that to from the clerk's office. So I just want to make sure that doesn't fall through the cracks. And if we need to get like the chamber or somebody to partner with us to make sure that happens, I want to make sure it doesn't, that it happens.

Yep, absolutely.

Okay, thank you.

Commissioner Kelly, just so you know, I think we tasked Crystal and Angel are working on the baskets.

Okay.

So I'll get with them tomorrow and get you an update where we're at.

Okay, perfect.

All right, let's move on to consent, Tammy.

So we have our, you got to, Tim, you got to go back up to 6A. You scroll down too far. All right, right there. So we have our quarterly update for our general fund and our utility fund. And that's period ending at June of 2026. But Alan Lawson and Dr. Calcott will both be readily available to answer any questions.

Do we have any questions on this specific item?

All right, we'll move on to 6B.

All right, and this is a resolution to reduce our uncollectible accounts and accounts receivable for fiscal year 2026 write-off process. We do this annually. Fairly good year as far as all of our debt collections and write-offs. The fire department, I want to say, had just over a million dollars, which sounds like a lot, but it was actually probably the best result they've had. If there's any questions as far as these are concerned, our CFO, Alan Lawson, he's on.

He can answer any further questions as well. All righty.

6C, that's going to be a grant for our beautification department, and that's for the beautification of our mediums. And that's going to go from MLK Boulevard to Northeast 2nd Avenue. When we do Commissioner McRae's agenda review, I'm sure he'll be happy to hear about that.

All right.

Moving on to 6D. This is going to be... All right, go ahead, Andrew.

This is the city limit. This is the lighting, correct, for the maintenance?

Correct. So, you know, hats off to Kevin and Jayoon in the Public Works Department. They've located some dollars that we can obtain from DOT through this MMOA that will come back to the city for maintenance of the streetlights, to pay for the streetlight maintenance. So we're excited that we're going to return money back. I believe it's about $160,000 that's coming back to the city.

That's great news. Keep it up.

All right, you can go ahead and take 60 as well, Andrew. That's going to be the maintenance of the right-of-way for the pier, similar to what we just did with the Hyperion, correct?

That's correct. Amanda's on. She can answer any specific questions or Louisa, if you have any on that specific project. But this is in reference to whenever we have decorative features within the right of way, the DOT will contract with the developer. So they have to go through the city. And that's what this is accomplishing to allow for those improvements within the right of way.

All right.

Go ahead and scroll down, Tim.

All right.

That's good.

Alright, so there's going to be approving the updated Boyne Beach City Library long range plan for fiscal year 26 through 31. And this is just a library updating its long range plan so they can still receive a grant funding from the state.

6G is going to be

Approved the conveyance of four city-owned parcels in the Arden Park addition and Robert Wells subdivision to Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment Agency. By quick claim deed, declared a parcel surplus and authorized the mayor to execute the deed. These are some parcels over on Northeast 9th Avenue. and those parcels over on northeast ninth avenue are currently with the uh with the city and we're trying to quick claim over to the cra so we can do a property assemblage for a future uh development project over uh over on northeast ninth avenue nothing planned right now but again we're putting a heavy emphasis on assembling on different properties strategically um moving forward and this is just part of that process and is uh is amanda on or gabe

Yeah, I'm here. I believe Gabe is online too. Okay.

Amanda, do you want anything to add to this?

No, but I'm here if there are any questions.

All right. 6H is going to be ratification of the fiscal year 26-27 CRA budget. 6I is going to be authorizing me to send a notice of non-renewal of the FLOC OS, Elite and FLOC Safety Program Order to FLOC Group, Inc. This is a renewal that's coming up, I want to say, to September, October, and we do not want to renew with FLOC moving forward.

All right, so moving on to 7A.

This is going to be a piggyback agreement between the city and Comte Inc. for elevator and escalator services and inspections related to those solutions. The amount of expenditures from $100,000 to a total annual amount of $200,000. And we've had quite a few issues with, and I don't know how many of you guys are familiar with both the north and south elevators in City Hall. I know one, I believe the north elevator just went down a couple of weeks ago. It took us like a week to get replaced. Before that, we were having issues with our vendor. So this increase is needed just to make sure that we're maintaining that. When they came out and they looked at the elevators, there were some belts that needed to be replaced. So it's going to be a little bit extra to maintain those elevators this next year going forward.

All right.

6B is going to be approved the third amendment to the agreement between the city and ABM industry group LLC contract for town square city facilities, maintenance services, increasing the annual expenditures from 359,000 to a total amount of 374,000. And this is just an annual increase. And ABM is our vendors who does all of our maintenance to the amphitheater lawn, maintenance in city hall and all of our city facilities.

All right. 7C, Andrew, you want to take the Peterbilt one?

Sure. So we need to increase our expenditure to Peterbilt. We've been buying some more Peterbilt trucks over the last few years, so our maintenance costs are going up. So we're just making sure we adjust the expenditure so that we can service those trucks.

All right.

7D, this is going to be a proposal for strategic P3 financial advisory services from PFM financial advisors and approving the agreement between the city. PFM advisors in an annual not to exceed an amount of $600,000. We do not pay for this. We act as an intermediary between the developer and PFM. Whenever we have P3's developer, we'll be picking up the cost of these financial analysis for the P3's. that we're looking at doing in the city.

All right. AA, Amanda, you want to take this one?

I'm actually going to pass this one to Gabe.

This is the AIPP Art in Public Places modification. not to do with the recent Art Master Plan approval, but this was the commission's direction to add a waiver process that staff is proposing. It's a change for a definition for charitable institutions, then also amends Chapter 4 for that process for the AIPP, as well as creating an actual relief application, again, with the direction of commission, would allow one that meets the definition of a charitable institution. There are nine listed out in the packet. to if they get approved by city commission could qualify for up to 40% reduction. Just as a reminder that every development over 500,000 pays 1% of the overall cost. They pay 30% admin fee. So what this would mean is prior to any certificate of occupancy, they would, if approved, they would be still required to pay an additional 30% of the overall fee. But we will have the full presentation ready for the commission.

You'll have a full presentation that's less than 10 minutes on this, Gabe. I will have one at five to four minutes. All right.

All right, scroll down for me, Tammy.

All right, so we'll go over 10A. And the reason why I held off on doing a city manager report, I know the last commission I wasn't on, I was a bit under the weather. I want to try to... come down on the time frame with the commission meetings. I know we reached almost four hours with the last one, which was a bit exhausting for some. I just want to note that we do have a city manager's report to highlight a lot of the technology work that we're doing, especially with the ERP system. I want to highlight the work that Gail Moots has done, the work that Ariel's been doing, the work that Andrew Wazowski's been doing. A lot, a lot of cool stuff, but I want to hold that for a less intense commission meeting where we don't have too many CRA items in addition to the city meeting. So moving forward with 10A, the discussion and formation of a task force for updates to the land development regulations. This is a requested discussion by Vice Mayor Turkin that we had on our future agenda for the commission as a whole to give staff direction on where we want to move. 10 B is going to be a second reading for the ordinance of the city commission, the city of Boynton beach amending land development regulations, chapter four, article 10 flood prevention requirements. There's no been no changes to this. 10 C is also going to be a second reading. And that had to do with the roadway abandonment that we were doing over near railroad Avenue. And that was for the 20 foot alley. if there's any questions on those two items for the second readings both amanda and gabe are on but they have been no changes is my understanding no questions all right andrew you want to talk about the items that we added on a future agenda please sure so at the meeting the other night uh there was some discussion about the censure

So we added the future agenda item working with the attorney's office. We put it for the 20th. If we can get it done earlier, we'll move it up to the first meeting. And then the second item, 11B, was the discussion or presentation on the use of the flock equipment and including some risk analysis. Again, that one is slated for the 20th. If we can do it sooner, we'll move that one up on the 6th. And then the other two items, I believe the city attorney's office is working on with Vice Mayor Turkin, come up with some of them. Those we'll be bringing back sometime in the future here. One for the disabled veteran procurement preferences and then reducing the permit costs for seniors.

Andrew? Yes. So I apparently after... after the last meeting and talking to staff, it doesn't sound like there, or it wasn't clear. I thought there was consensus, but it wasn't clear that there was any sort of consensus on in the meantime, until we can have that flock discussion, what we can do as far as, you know, either suspending it or restricting it or doing something in the meantime, because I feel like we're kind of an open, like it's kind of, which is something I had mentioned, and I know even Vice Mayor Turkin mentioned it, and then everyone was kind of like, yes, let's, but I guess there wasn't true consensus on that. And so can we talk about just that component when we talk about the FLOC OS?

Yeah, that would make sense. If you guys pull that item off consent, or if we have consensus now, we can move that to the regular agenda and republish. So that is a discussion item.

Okay. Okay.

We can do that tomorrow. I'll get with Tammy. We'll move it under the regular agenda. Do you have a preference where you'd want it on the agenda? Would you rather move it up to 10A or...

10B? No, it can be at the end of regular agenda. That's fine. It doesn't, I mean, it should be, I mean, it's just a matter of having consensus on what the current status of our flock system will be until we are able to have a more in-depth conversation about the whole risk analysis and what's going on. Because I thought that that was something I wanted us to do. And I thought that there was enough people that were in agreement, but I guess it wasn't clear. So... So I would like to talk about that.

Andrew, get with me tomorrow and we can discuss how we want to pair those items. Okay.

I mean, I can get with the chief also and see if he's ready. I mean, we can expedite the presentation if that's helpful, if he's able to do that.

Well, I think it's a heavy meeting for that conversation. Yeah. I mean, based on the conversation we had at the last meeting, I think it's going to be more in-depth than something we want to just throw on. So I, and even talking with Stacey, I feel like it's going to be an in-depth conversation where we're going to have, you know, decisions to make. But in the meantime, you know, even just if we did like a, I know that there was the option to just, not use it, but still pay for flock as though we were using it, which as it's on a temporary basis, that's something I would be in agreement to doing just so that we have suspended it, you know, in house. And then, you know, until we're able to have that full discussion, because then what happens in October, if we start the discussion, but then there's still things that have to be decided, or we still have to talk about more. And so then we're looking at two months in and not having a clear understanding or a clear decision and we're still moving along at status quo.

Commissioner Kelly, I believe the chief is on and I believe there was some direction that the DSMV is not sending driver's license information right now for the LPRs if requested. Chief, are you on?

I'm on, yes, there was the host agency that essentially has the MOU in place with the state is no longer the host agency for flock. So any real time data as it relates to our driver and vehicle database is not being transmitted to the flock system. Additionally, we made some changes today in our, in our procedure on how we're handling flock until the larger the larger decisions made about the program to restrict it with case numbers and for criminal investigation purposes.

Okay, that's good to hear. So my only issue right now is, or my only thought right now is, I don't know if we need to necessarily take affirmative action one way or another because it is so in flux. That's just my thought.

Well, I mean, as long as we're, I mean, if what the chief is saying is, you know, and I have no reason to doubt what he's saying is accurate, is that none of the information that we're, the cameras are still collecting are going anywhere, and they're not being utilized for anything, then I'm, you know, then that's just, that's an update we didn't have yet. Okay, so let's...

The chief and I will work on getting that information so that when we have this discussion on the 16th, we have that information.

Okay, perfect. All right, and chief, I'll get with you and we can have a conversation too offline.

All right, no problem.

Is there anything else? I'm sorry, I'm just gonna send the commission the... the recent changes in the way we're handling flock going forward. So everybody's on the same page when we speak on it.

Okay. Perfect.

Any, any other future comments guys or any other further comments?

Alrighty. Thank you.

All right, guys. Have a good night.

Thanks. You too. Bye.
