DIRECTION 7-7-98 County Administrator Weisman informed the Board that the South Florida Fair and Palm Beach County Expositions, Inc., management had submitted a proposal for a multi-purpose facility to be built at its location at 9067 Southern Boulevard, West Palm Beach. He also said that Arena at Clematis, Inc. (AAC), had submitted a modified proposal to eliminate the need to issue County bonds. Herbert F. Kahlert, chairman, South Florida Fairgrounds Master Plan Committee, made a presentation supporting building a multi-purpose event facility at the South Florida Fairgrounds. He said the advantage of placing a facility there was because of its convenient, centralized location in the County. He also said that County bonds in the range of $28 to $30 Million would need to be issued to finance construction for the facility. Hugo Unruh, representing AAC, confirmed that AAC had met the initial conditions of the letter of intent with the County. The conditions included projecting arena revenues and having it confirmed by a national accounting firm, protecting the County financially, preventing any bonds issued from becoming taxable and providing a means to avoid utilizing any kind of ad valorem tax. Michael O'Sullivan, consultant with Arthur Andersen & Company, said that AAC's market and feasibility analysis had been reviewed and presented his findings of that review. He generally agreed that AAC's projections of arena revenues were fairly accurate. After lengthy discussion, the Board directed staff to prepare a new letter of intent with the following changes as conditions to be met by AAC before proceeding any further with negotiations:
The Board further discussed possible expansion of the facilities at the South Florida Fairgrounds irregardless of the outcome of negotiations with AAC. MOTION to direct staff to prepare a new letter of intent with AAC to include the above conditions, as well as the previous conditions, and extend the negotiation date to August 19, 1998. Motion by Commissioner Roberts and seconded by Commissioner Lee. PUBLIC COMMENT: Tom Gallagher, representing West Boca Community Council and the Alliance of West Delray Homeowners, said both groups supported postponement to August 19, 1998. Gigi Tylander, business owner, said her property was located at 620 Clematis Street, West Palm Beach, and that she did not intend to sell her property and relocate her business. She said other business and property owners did not want to sell either. UPON CALL FOR A VOTE, the motion carried 7-0. (CLERK'S NOTE: The Board informally agreed to consider Item 6.G.1. at 2:00 p.m.) RECESS At 12:45 p.m., the Chair declared a recess. RECONVENE At 2:00 p.m., the Board reconvened with Commissioners Aaronson, Foster, Lee, McCarty, Marcus, Newell and Roberts present.

He also said that a new agreement with South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) had been prepared to replace the memorandum of understanding.
Planning Director Frank M. Duke reviewed the Scope of Services with the Board in detail. PUBLIC COMMENT: Sam Poole, representing SFWMD; Gary Brandenberg; Laura Geselbracht, representing The Nature Conservancy; Erin Deady, representing National Audubon Society; and Dagmar Brahs, representing Coalition of Boynton West Residential Associations(COBWRA), spoke in favor of developing a master plan. Barry Silver said that a master plan was not needed because the Board could limit development on its own authority. Skeet Jernigan, representing Community Development Council, suggested studying the feasibility of designating areas for agriculture and areas for development in the Agricultural Reserve. He also expressed concern about restricting public comment and elimination of the steering committee. Rosa Durando, representing Audubon Society of the Everglades, said that the core issue was water supply, not land use. She urged caution in proceeding in order to balance environmental and economic concerns. She also suggested adding language to restrict where the transfer of development rights would go. Ernest Cox, agent for two landowners, expressed concern about development and property rights and urged the Board not to overlook them. Harriet Johnson blamed a former County employee for her opposition to the master plan. Marc Shepard, legislative aide to State Representative Barry Silver, opposed any development in the Agricultural Reserve. He also claimed that agricultural activity generated more money than development. MOTION to approve the contract, the revised agreement with SFWMD and the budget amendment. The Environmentally Sensitive Lands Acquisition Selection Advisory Committee was directed to identify potential property sites for purchase.

Ms. McCarty requested staff to report back on the results of the appeal. 8.C. LEGAL NOTICES. DISCUSSED WITH DIRECTION 7-7-98 Shoshona Massory asked why legal notices were put only in the Palm Beach Post.

He requested staff to investigate possibly placing future notices in other periodicals as well. Commissioner Roberts requested staff to contact the Sun-Sentinel about its possible use for legal advertising. Staff added that there were plans to also put the notices on the Internet.
