Madam Vice Mayor, it is 9.02 and we are live.
Thank you. Good morning, everybody. I feel like we just saw each other. It is May 29th, 2026. I think I'm getting some feedback. And this is the pre-agenda meeting for the June 2nd meeting, which is next Tuesday. May I please have the roll call?
Mayor Betty Resch, I don't see her yet.
She had emailed all of us last night that she was unable to make it today, which is why I was starting.
Oh, OK. Thank you. Um, vice mayor Mimi may present commissioner Sarah Maliga. What was that? Commissioner Christopher McVoy here. Commissioner Anthony is actually here. I'm just letting him in now.
Okay.
Thanks Anthony. UM, FOR BEFORE WE GET INTO THE MEET OF TODAY'S MEETING, I JUST WANT TO GIVE A SECOND, UM, I KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT IT LAST NIGHT, BUT A SECOND THANK YOU TO, UM, THE ENTIRE STAFF, UM, EVERY DEPARTMENT FOR GETTING ALL OF THEIR INFORMATION TO THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT AND TO THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT FOR GIVING US A REALLY GREAT, UM, QUARTER TWO FINANCIAL OVERVIEW. I THOUGHT THAT WENT REALLY WELL LAST NIGHT AND, UM, I JUST WANTED TO SHARE MY GRATITUDE FOR THAT. UM, I am looking at the agenda for next week. And let's start with staff. So we have some items here that staff is going to bring. So we have the second reading for our board appointment. So that doesn't need we've already talked about that. Does anybody want to add anything for the board? Are we ready to go with that? Okay. I'm sorry.
I was going to say, I believe we're ready to make sure it's on our agenda.
No, I mean, it's there, it's ready to go. I'm just trying to make sure that every, no one has any additional questions now that we could prevent Tuesday. Um, the second one is the first reading for the city initiated zoning map amendment for, um, the partials north of Washington, south of Johnson. Could we have just kind of an overview of that, William, if you don't mind?
Sure. This started maybe before COVID, where we had an entity or a couple entities that would like to conduct business in that area that historically had some commercial activity. That went away decades ago. um the entity moved in a non-conforming space i would like to expand and provide greater outreach of services to the public and so about three years ago it was approved to move forward with talking with the neighborhood about what their vision was for that area because this comes on the heels of what was adopted for the opportunity zone 1.0 which not very much happened with that and so We did an outreach with our Chenmore consultants, spoke with the public, did surveys, asked them what they would like to see in that area to facilitate this commercial type entity to expand and get an appropriate business license. They chose a neighborhood commercial zoning, which did require a future land use change of that area, which you all approved several months ago. And now we're moving forward with the establishment of the actual zone of neighborhood commercial And in tandem with that, the item right behind this is a permitted use table change to make sure that we are aware and comfortable that houses of worship are also allowed in the neighborhood commercial zone, which it's not explicit that they would be able to do because we do allow other types of assembly spaces in neighborhood commercial.
Okay. Is there a map?
It's attached to probably the planning and zoning staff report. It's right across the street from the Osborne Center.
And there was a map with the approval that we originally did a couple months ago.
Oh, okay. I see where we are. Okay. And the community chose the larger of the three choices of areas of what parcels to include. And the other option was artisanal industrial, which would not have been in harmony with what's existing. So the community, through the survey and a public meeting and several other outreach exercises, chose the neighborhood commercial zone as a route to go.
Okay. And when it went through HRPB, Did they approve the, are they suggesting that we do go forward with this?
Well, the planning and zoning board recommended approval. The change went before both boards and they recommended approval as well.
Okay. All right. Let's see. I saw Chris's hand first. Chris, do you have a question about this one?
It isn't about this one. It's overall for the meeting, I have a doctor's appointment, so I'm going to have to leave a bit early. And I had two items that I would like to raise. So maybe when we're done with this discussion about the... Agenda? Well, about, yeah.
Chris, we all are going to cut out early, and I think we all have something that we need to bring up.
Yeah, I got to cut out earlier than early.
Okay, hold on. What time do you need to leave?
I need to get on the road by 9.30. Okay.
okay actually a little earlier but um let's finish this item yep okay does anybody have any specific questions about this item or the next one because it seems to be um related related to it thank you no ma'am anthony you good okay um let me just go through here we have the tropical ridge park um Does, just quickly with staff, when we talked last meeting, we had some things that we wanted to add to it. Can you just update that for us? Where are we on that? Do we have any staff from senior services here?
Yes, good morning. So our leisure services team and finance procurement had a follow up meeting with the Palm Beach County CBDG this week. And we learned that we if to make any changes in the scope, we would either need to award the contract as is or go out for bid again. And we do have Valentina on the call if you have any follow up questions.
So did you decide not to go out for bid and bring forward what was there?
We are looking for consensus from Commission on the direction. Would you like us to continue on with the scope as is, or would you like us to go out again for a bid because we are unable to make some of the changes that were suggested?
Are we able to make any of the changes?
We are not. Any changes would trigger that we need to go out for a bid again. It would change the scope.
Okay. Valentina, can you just tell us what our options are regarding timing for that?
So basically, good morning, Valentina Sesteta, Assistant Finance Director for Procurement. I hope you hear me. So if we do go back to bid, we basically will have to, the scope will be changed. Tiana and I discussed it. She will bring the change in the scope to you prior to to us seeking the rebid. With that change of scope, we will have to develop the bidding documents again, send it to CDBG for the approval. The requirement for bid is a 30 days minimum to be out on the street because this is a construction and that is the CDBG requirement. I think through the whole process to come back again, it will be approximately two to three months to bring this back to you. If all the timing goes as planned, I think we can probably do it between two to three months to have this for your review and approval of the contract.
And that would meet the CDBG deadlines?
I will speak to that in a meeting with CDBG. We have asked them if we can extend the grant term and that they are open for the city to put in the request for the extension. Prior to us going out to rebid, we will seek the extension of the grant from the conversation with them. They seem to be open and amicable to that extension.
Correct. Does anybody else have any comment about that one?
I would recommend that we, even though I'm not crazy about, you know, a formal rebidding and all that stuff, it sounds like we have to. And I think the changes, there was strong enough feelings about it that I think we should do that.
Okay. Well, we can vote on that on Tuesday. Thanks for your input now. I do want to talk before we get into our personal things real quick about the designer drugs regulation. And I believe this is coming from the city attorney. Or I'm sure it was requested by us. But I mean, from the city attorney, if, if I don't know which ones here, Elizabeth, can you go over a little bit about what this if we were able to regulate designer drugs? What does that mean? What will that look like downtown, or wherever this is going to be?
well i'll do my best so what you have as part of your agenda is an example that of how it has been done in sarasota county and i have um reached out to sarasota county and gotten a little bit of information from them but i haven't gotten too far down that road i really wanted to get direction from you all before i put any more time and work into it So it would be really a conversation with the sheriff's office to see if they would enforce this and if they were how it would work. So the way that Sarasota County does it is it's really kind of a packaging and labeling regulation. And so the sheriff's office goes into retail establishments and make sure that they have complied with packaging and labeling as appropriate and things like that. It's my understanding.
So what it looks like from the staff report is this would be our attempt to regulate Kratom, synthetic Kratom and Delta 8. Are those the three that we're dealing with here?
Those are the ones that have been brought up by the commission in the past, but you could put other things on the list. are mechanisms in place through legislation and the Attorney General's Office for regulation of a lot of different substances. And this could potentially be a stopgap for some that are, I'll say, newer on the scene. Okay. Anthony?
I think Chris had his hand up first.
No, I think Chris has had his hand up the whole time.
I guess basically, just to keep it and put it in plain English, from your research, do you think that we would be able to implement something like this?
I think the biggest part of that question is conversations with the sheriff's office. because I don't think it's really workable without their partnership on it. And I do have a question on that.
So from a municipality and an ordinance standpoint, It seems like other municipalities have done this and they've held up. So what I'm hearing is we could create this ordinance. Now, whether or not PBSO chooses via their policies to enforce such an ordinance, that's an entirely different question. But purely as a city, are we within our rights to do this? Yes.
OK. OK. Chris, you want to add something to this?
Yeah, I have a concern of the common, and I think Commissioner Segrich is perhaps pointing in that direction also. I have a concern from the statement from our legal side that, well, it kind of depends on PBSO, whether they'd be willing to enforce it. My understanding is they are a contractor to the city and we contract with them to enforce our ordinances. It's not Well, you know, the contractor chooses, picks and chooses whether they choose to do that. They're our employee. So if we have an ordinance or a resolution or whatever it is, they are required by our contract to enforce it. I find that concerning that we would say, well, it depends on whether they feel like it or not. That's not a, you know, if we have a contract with a paving person and they say, well, yeah, we just don't feel like doing that. That would be a breach of contract, a problem.
Okay. Thank you. I kind of agree with you on that too. I mean, they are our contractor and these are our ordinances and they have agreed to enforce them for us.
Anthony, go ahead. And I would say to that point, um, you know, I've found that, um, our, our captain and the Lieutenant have been, uh, especially willing to work with us in scenarios where that's been found to be the case. Um, there, there have been several. that we've had with the city where PBSO policy conflicted with our ordinances and they have worked with the city management office to get that corrected. A lot of times it's procedural and forms and integrations with their systems, right? So I do agree with Chris and you Mimi in that, you know, PBSO is hired to enforce the state law, the county law, but as well as some of our ordinances on the books. But I think it's more just a collaboration and so on. And I don't think that just because they have a policy that may prevent them from doing it now, it should preclude us or even really stop us from implementing the ordinances that we feel are for the good of the residents and the businesses of our city.
And I also think that to Elizabeth's point, maybe not would they do it, but how do we streamline it so that it matches their ability to enforce it? I think would be maybe a better way to say it. Does that make sense, Elizabeth?
Absolutely. I just, you know, we haven't had the conversation with them. I'm not sure if they're familiar with this.
So what you're asking for from us on Tuesday is going to be, yes, please go ahead and meet with the sheriffs and figure out a way to make this so that we can regulate these drugs to keep our residents safer.
Correct.
Or no, leave it alone. We don't want to deal with that. That's right.
Just keep moving or stop.
No, that's clear. And I think sometimes telling us what direct, what do you want from this? Because we're not saying we're going to design this ordinance on Tuesday. We're saying we think that this is something worthwhile and please go ahead and spend your time and our money doing it.
That's right.
Okay. And then the last thing on the agenda, and Chris, we will totally have time for yours, is the semifinalist staff report. And I just want to ask staff, we have the big book, we have the resumes, we're going through them. What is going to happen then on Tuesday? What are we being asked to do?
Hi, it's Lauren Sladen, HR Director. Hey, happy Friday, everybody. He's going to be giving an overview of the semifinalist candidates for you.
The whole list of all the semifinalists?
Yeah, there was originally a bigger list and then they had to, they forgot to tell everybody about the Florida sunshine laws and that their, their applications are public record. And a lot of these guys don't want their bosses to know that they're looking for other jobs. So, um, he had to make sure that they were all okay with that. So he'll be going over and giving you a review of those and then probably asking for input on how to proceed forward.
Okay. Can I ask, and I don't know if anyone else has asked, um, And I know I regretted this when I asked it about the internal auditor. But is there a way to see the resumes of the ones that weren't selected by Sumter?
Yes, they're all public record. And I can get those for you if you'd like.
OK, do the rest of you guys want those?
I'd send it to all of us, I guess, if you want.
OK. Yeah, I mean, I don't know that I need it but i just feel like you never know maybe there was a diamond in the rough that would speak to us that didn't speak to warren who knows and do you guys want them you want me to email them to you like a link or do you want me to print them off and have them waiting for you what works for you I think email is fine. And if we want to print them, we'll ask.
It depends on how many there are. I mean, we hired this firm to do their due diligence, do the background checks, do the investigation. And now we're saying, yeah, thanks for your advice. But now we want to double check you. I don't understand why we keep doing that.
I just want to see if there's anyone there. That's all.
I would tend to agree with Commissioner Malega on that one. What's the point of having a screening and narrowing it down if we're not going to do that?
If we're going to micromanage what we ask them to do. I mean, I personally have already gone through all of them. I've earmarked. I have my top contenders and a couple of questions on the runner-ups, I guess you would call them. But I just feel like there's no, it's just like the auditors. Why are we why are we double doing work if we're going to do it ourselves we should have done it ourselves and i mean whoever by all means vice mayor if you want to do a deep dive into who they didn't pick that's fine i choose not to do that i we hired this firm i'm trusting their expertise and i have gone through every candidate that was in the book and those who didn't make the cut i'm i'm i'm not interested in um but if you are interested in doing that deep dive All power to you.
I don't know that I'm necessarily interested in doing that, Sarah. I just want to have it. That's all. Go ahead. I mean, and I think that that I feel like is an individual choice. I agree with you. We hired people. They're professionals. We asked them to do this. We don't need to go back and double check. But that doesn't mean that all five of us feel that way. And my question was simply, would we have access to those?
No, and I get you and it is public record. I just, for me, please don't send me any more because I've already gone through them. I'm just saying I don't need to see them or have them printed out. Okay.
Okay, thank you.
Troy. I spoke with, I speak with him, I had an email conversation with Warren on the 25th. Okay. There was a concern that you all did not receive all the applications. He told me he sent everything that he had. Now, the only thing he didn't send are cases where an individual backed out. So I didn't know whether or not you want me to send them. They were no longer interested, so he's not sending them.
So the list of semifinalists is the list of total qualified applicants. He didn't come to anyone?
No. I'm sorry, say that again?
He didn't disqualify anybody that didn't choose to disqualify themselves?
if you look at the list vice mayor he on the very front of the book there's an initial list of the people he considers most qualified and then there's a second list of people who who were way less qualified and he gave him a point system right and so i mean was there anybody that they he didn't like what what the city manager is telling us is that there were maybe not anymore i i saw people that i feel certainly
His words exactly what I believe our report includes every applicant's resume. That's what he said in the email. But he said, are you referring to those individuals that withdrew from the process? So those applications, they still public record.
But if you know, I don't want those applications.
I don't think you have it. I think he told me initially was like 64 applicants or something like that. I think the clerk and the clerk and I counted. I think we came up around the same number. So I can reach out to you, but I can.
No, no, no, no. I'm satisfied that we have what we need. Anthony.
uh thank you vice mayor um to kind of adjust the comments of we shouldn't be doing deep dives or second guessing our experts i wholeheartedly disagree it's trust but verify when i look at the process and what we were given for the internal auditors ninety percent 90% of the candidates I wanted to see come forward were never sent to us in that 63 resume folder. There were 82 resumes that we received. We were only given 63 in the printed folder. There were 26 in the, quote, discard pile and 92 resumes in the accept pile with duplicates all over the place, some in both piles. So had I not gone through and done a deep dive, I would have missed 90% of the candidates that I found to be most qualified for the internal audit. In this case, with our outside recruiter, there's a couple of things that I found with my conversations with him, as well as by looking up these candidates. Many, many, many of our candidates that are in there have severe reputational issues. whether that's accusations of impropriety, multiple firings and lawsuits against cities, and so on. None of that information was presented. So in terms of, and I asked Warren, can you please make sure you're looking into this? I've had to do so much work going through these. And had they presented us with that information, I gladly would have trusted it. Right. But we're not getting that. And so I'm of the opinion that we do have to do a deep dive and double check. Now, you know, receiving the people that are withdrawn, of course not. You know, and I did get clarification that we received received everybody. But I for one, you know, right now. I have a whole bunch of information that wasn't provided by our recruiter that is standard operating procedure for a recruiter. Basically, I feel like we're being asked to pick semifinalists blind. And if I had just trusted in their tier system, it would have been a really, really bad choice that got made. So I'm hoping that the recruiter comes back with more information. The other piece that was extremely disturbing to me is there actually really wasn't any recruitment done. No cold calls, no targeting of cities, no looking out there and saying, hey, here's a bunch of cities that are of similar size to Lake Worth Beach that might have a utility and so on. Maybe we should reach out to those people and see if they're interested. And then the last piece was, and I don't have access to it, but I was informed that the job application wasn't even in the national section of one of the most important job databases for this job. So and it wasn't even on things like an indeed or something like that to get the wider audience. So right now, I'm not very happy with the process as it's going on. And I, for one, think that we absolutely need to do a deep dove and you can call it micromanaging. But when you're not satisfied with the work being done, it's our duty. to dive deep and figure this stuff out. Otherwise, we're just making a choice blind. And for me, this is the single most important decision that I've had to make on this dais. And this is going to affect our city at every single level. So to say, oh, you're just micromanaging and nitpicking, I can't disagree more. I think that's our 100%.
I am going to cut you off. I think your point is well taken. Thank you. Chris, could you have the floor?
All right. Thank you. I'll just say that I haven't seen the details, but from what Commissioner Segrich is sharing, it does raise concerns. I would say the reaction shouldn't be that we have to do extra work The reaction should perhaps be to pressure our paid consultant to step up and do a better job on it. But okay, the issue I have is a question. I have two points, two issues that are important and timely. This is a question for the city attorney. On the unsolicited proposal process, what is the process if there have been material changes to the initial agreement, what is the process for making sure that we are still in compliance with the state statute?
So I think, Elizabeth, if you are prepared to answer that, that's fine. If you would like some time to answer that and email us the answer, that's fine as well.
Yeah, I'll have to get back with you all on that.
Chris, hold on. Elizabeth, was his question clear? For what he wants to know?
I think so. You're looking at when a P3 has gone unsolicited proposal has come through the process. If there are substantial changes down the road, how do we make sure that we're still in compliance with the requirements of the statute? I got that.
Exactly.
Okay. And number two, Chris?
Well, I just want to clarify that on the, and I appreciate your suggested approach, but there is some time sensitivity to all this. I mean, the situation that we have is that on the parking garage unsolicited proposal, we were told that it was going to make us money in substantial amounts. And now we're being told that it will be supported by tax money so that it'll lose us money. The cost has gone up significantly. The number of spaces is fewer than the range that was given. And it would include, as it currently stands, preserving half the number of historic properties that was in the original agreement. So to me, those are very material changes. The other point, the second one that I have is, I don't believe that we have a meeting on June 8th. We did receive an email, but there is no backup on the city, and the deadline for a June 8th meeting has already come and gone. So I would like to know when we are going to have scheduled this quasi-judicial hearing, because I don't think there's an emergency, so it's not an emergency scheduling. I was not asked about that date whether I was available. I am not available on that date. When is this meeting going to be scheduled? Because there isn't one on June 8th. It's not on the city agenda and there's no backup.
Okay.
So that's the question for the city attorney or the city attorney's office.
Well, I mean, if it's a scheduling thing, it's probably city manager clerk.
Could be also.
Mr. Perry?
Madam Chair. Madam Vice Mayor, let me get with staff and find out exactly about that day, because I have a whole bunch of dates that's coming up on my system as well. So let me get and I'll email it out to everyone and clarify what's going on.
Okay, thank you.
I apologize for that.
No, that's fine. I saw Anthony's hand first and then Sarah's hand.
It was actually Sarah first.
Oh, I thought I saw you. Okay, Sarah, go ahead. Thank you, Vice Mayor. I just wanted to see if I can get consensus on a conversation that I've been trying to bring forward. This is a time where I think the city should strike while it's hot. The Lake and Lucerne have both been remilled, resurfaced, and brought up to good standards. And I think with the mobility fee coming forward, WMOTA coming online, the new building for the Gulf Stream, the cost of permits, I think now is the time for us to try to have a conversation with FDOT and taking over Lake and Lucerne from either the roundabout to the bridge or even Dixie Highway to the bridge. There are a lot of things and opportunities that we miss, like having evenings on the avenue once a quarter because we have to shut down the street. There is a large cost to us not being able to have a Veterans Day parade. During MLK, we can't shut down the road. And it doesn't make sense to me that the two main streets in our downtown, we don't own. FDOT had come to us a couple years ago and offered for the city to take them over. We did not have the infrastructure money. Obviously, we went through financing it last night. And I really think with these mobility fees coming online and the permit fees that we collect, we could create a good fiscal policy for the maintenance of those two roads. And I just would need to get consensus from the rest of the commission that's here for staff to start having that conversation with EPDOT again to see if they're still interested or would allow us to take over those two main roads.
Okay. Mr. McFoy, I know you're getting in your car. Can you give us a thumbs up or a thumbs down on that?
Thumbs up agreement with Commissioner Malaga on that one.
Okay. And Mr. Segrich?
I consent.
Okay. And I consent as well. So let's move forward with that. Is that the only thing you have, Sarah?
That's the only thing pressing. I just think that right now is, you know, now's the time.
I agree. I agree with you a hundred percent because there's other things too. I mean, the 4th of July, you could actually maybe get off.
Right. I mean, we don't buy us and talk with Tiana. We don't pay for the permitting, but. the fact that, you know, I know that what Compass pays to shut down the road and where that goes and the barricade costs and all those things. I just think that now's a good, a good time for us.
And I know, and I know our city's been interested in doing something for St. Patrick's day. And we, you know, I mean, there are other things, you know, that we could,
So thank you all for your consensus.
No, that's a great idea. Thank you. Mr. Segrich, we have 10 minutes. I'm not saying take it all. I'm just saying that's what's left.
Got it. I'll take nine minutes and 30 seconds. No, I was just going to respond to Mr. McVoy's comments about his concerns about the garage. And I would just like to remind him that he was the deciding vote on the garage with all of those deficiencies. And so I would encourage him to think better when he votes yes on things. I shared a lot of those concerns. But he was the deciding vote to push the garage forward in its current format with all of those deficiencies. And for him to come back now and all of a sudden want to change, it's going to cost the city monumentally. And it's just confusing to me why someone would vote yes for that, for all of those things. And then when it's actually being implemented, turn right around and say, oh, this is bad. Why are we doing this? And trying to figure out and have legal figure out ways of stopping it. It boggles my mind. So anyway, I wish he had thought better of it.
earlier because we could have had a better garage in my opinion so thank you okay and that's all you have are you bringing anything forward you usually have a couple things i'm good for right now
whoa okay hey easy easy don't don't encourage them no i'm not encouraging that but that was like last night how um candace kind of learned like don't ask um i just think there's more important things and we're moving at a good clip and i'm really appreciative of how troy is helping us move through these items so playing off for now would reportedly um okay great and melissa would you like to speak
Yes, thank you, Madam Vice Mayor. I just wanted to let everyone know that due to the special legislative session, Representative Emily Gregory will not be able to attend the meeting. I was in touch with her legislative aide last night, and we will reschedule as soon as possible.
Great. I mean, I think we would all prefer her to be in Tallahassee.
So that makes sense.
The other question I do have on the presentations for the valedictorian and the salutatorian, what are we going to do? Like, are we giving them something? Are we?
We have really nice certificates for them.
Excellent. And do you think that that's a hometown hero thing or no that's maybe going above and beyond okay thank you i see your face there i've just just i saw those yesterday and i was like huh um okay i do have one thing on vice mayor i can't get my hand over okay um i just have one of can i just do one one quick thing yes i haven't brought anything up yet um when i when i did do a code ride-along and it was awesome and i want to go again but we literally got to um we got a block away from city hall and then we spent two hours in that block and i think that that really it wasn't eye-opening because i kind of realized that that's kind of our situation but um one of the things that we talked about and i know that um citizens have brought up is the city leading by example And I kind of want to reiterate that. And and when we look at the city owned properties, and we have, I think we need to have like a, I mean, I'm sure there is a standard of care of those properties. And I and by the city, I'm also including the CRA. Because some of the vacant properties, we don't keep them at the level that we want people to keep their vacant lots and so i just want to kind of put it on record that um we notice people notice and it's really hard to ask somebody to do something when they can point across the street and say why aren't you doing it So that's all I did. I just wanted to put that out there that that's really that's really important to me. I don't know if I have the support of everybody else that that's important to them. But I really think that do as I say not as I do is not a great policy. And I'm seeing nodding. So I think I do have some support for that. I see Chris's thumb up and I see Anthony and Sarah nodding. So Sarah, go ahead. What was your other thing?
I JUST WANTED TO STATE THAT I WILL NOT BE IN TOWN ON THE 2ND. I'M GOING TO ATTEMPT TO ZOOM THE MEETING. SO THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE WILL HAVE TO GO TO SOMEBODY ELSE. I DID CONFIRM WITH JULIE SIEBER FROM COMPASS AND I SPOKE WITH HR DIRECTOR SLAYTON IN REGARDS TO PRESENTATION C WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT I'VE BEEN WORKING ON WITH THE HR DEPARTMENT FOR ABOUT TWO AND A HALF YEARS NOW.
