(P.O.P. 565323) APPROVED AS AMENDED WITH DIRECTION 4-20-99 PUBLIC COMMENT: The following members of the public were opposed to all elements of the item. Speakers included Mary Allen, Mary Barnes, Michael Bernatowicz, Nina Boiton, Dari Bowman, Marilyn Bratcher, John Broderick, Fred Cicala, George Doremus, John Ellison, David Evans, Lee Evett, Doris Frank, Ed Gitterman, Shelly Gottsagen, Dan Hanley, Norma Hermalin, James Joseph, Britt Kuhn, Carolyn Lapp, Val Lenker, Alan Levine, Dennis McCabe, Ken Montgomery, Louise Murtaugh, Elizabeth Naulty, Joseph Naulty, Kristen Posti, Allen Preston, Jeffrey Priest, Susan Priest, Randy Rabner, Nigel Ricard, Jean Rosenthal, Sol Silverman, Keith Stanley, Susan Stechnij, Bobbi Valentine, Stan Voice, and Arthur Williams. Commissioner McCarty read the comments of an anonymous client of Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies and of Thelma Piantanida into the record. Commissioner Lee read the comments of Lori Brown, Diane Dunham, and David Terrazas into the record. The speakers cited a number of reasons for their opposition, which included the following:
Commissioner Masilotti insisted that community interests need to establish a partnership with the County in developing a transportation system adequate to the riders' needs. Commissioner Roberts asked Commissioner Masilotti whether, in his discussions with Wellington business people and municipal officials, he had found a willingness to share costs, using some of the gas tax money they receive, with the County for these routes. According to Commissioner Masilotti, the County was considering furnishing an extended bus with wheelchair lift to the Village of Wellington so allow coverage of SpecTran needs, at a minimum, along the eliminated Route 45, with the understanding that the village would share costs using gas tax monies. Commissioner McCarty said she could support such a venture with the understanding that, when ridership attained self-sufficient levels, the County would once again assume management of the route. Commissioner Masilotti said that this was precisely his understanding. Commissioner Marcus said the Mayor of Jupiter had called that morning and indicated an interest in talking with staff about doing something. She requested staff to explore cooperative possibilities with both the Town of Jupiter and the Chamber of Commerce. She suggested that service not be suspended for 90 days while discussions were going on. Commissioner Masilotti reported that two speakers had asked for continuation of the 60-coupon book and asked staff whether that might be possible. Staff responded with the view that the proposed fare structure offered an even better value. Commissioner Masilotti added his support to the idea of a 90-day waiting period for discussions before any actual suspensions of service were made. Palm Tran Executive Director Finke said he had offered the assistance of Palm Tran staff to both Wellington and Jupiter in the hope that some cooperative scheme could be arranged. Mr. Finke added, in response to a question from Commissioner Marcus about costs, that Palm Tran had budgeted $500,000 a year from the gas tax to offset some of the other costs. This was contingent on the Board's approval of the recommendations that the routes be eliminated and the ADA fare increased. Assistant County Administrator Vince Bonvento confirmed Commissioner McCarty's assumption that the County Engineer had budgeted $500,000 per year for reallocation to Palm Tran. Commissioner Roberts asked whether the 90-day delay would end within the current budget period and was assured by staff that it would. Commissioner Roberts recalled a full-grid plan completed by staff several years ago and asked whether current costs might be developed for that plan as a possible basis for future planning. Commissioner Newell asked staff a number of questions on costs per route and suggested, finally, that ridership alone not be the only consideration used in determining such costs. County Administrator Weisman replied that ridership was the industry standard. MOTION to approve the changes, increases, and eliminations recommended with the understanding that these not be implemented for 90 days. Motion by Commissioner Marcus and seconded by Commissioner Roberts. AMENDED MOTION to include direction to staff to meet with the Village of Wellington and its Chamber of Commerce and the Town of Jupiter and its Chamber of Commerce to develop opportunities for service supported by a partnership, as well as to report on the progress of that effort within six weeks. The maker and seconder agreed. Upon call for a vote, the motion carried 5-1. Commissioner Masilotti opposed. Commissioner Aaronson absent. Commissioner Masilotti said he could not support the measure until he had agreement in writing that Wellington's transportation-disadvantaged riders would not suffer as a result of these changes. He said staff's commitment to meeting these needs seemed ambiguous. Mr. Bonvento outlined three options available to Wellington and Jupiter that would ensure continued service to transportation-disadvantaged riders:
Commissioner Masilotti asked whether making those options available to the municipalities where the route reductions would take place was part of the motion. MOTION to approve the three options available to Wellington and Jupiter as outlined above by Mr. Bonvento. Motion by Commissioner Marcus and seconded by Commissioner Roberts. David Evans, president of the Palm Beach County Chapter of the National Federation for the Blind, observed that Transportation Disadvantaged service would not entirely replace Americans With Disabilities Act service, which Mr. Weisman confirmed. Commissioner Masilotti said that he could support the measure as long as ADA service was maintained in the areas affected by these reductions through use of a County-supplied handicapped van whose costs would be shared by the municipalities. UPON CALL FOR A VOTE, the motion carried 6-0. Commissioner Aaronson absent. 4.G. a.

(P.O.P. 565347) APPROVED 4-20-99 Assistant County Administrator Bonvento said Broward County had recommended inclusion of several changes in the Palm Beach County title loan ordinance that would make for consistency between the counties in regulation of the title loan industry. These were outlined, he said, in a letter he distributed to the Board and included the following:
Staff did not recommend adoption of Broward County's change to the transition period that would permit lenders to continue to charge an interest rate above the maximum interest rate permitted by the ordinance for additional periods, based on the principal outstanding at the expiration of the agreement, Mr. Bonvento said. He then recommended including a provision that would prevent title loan agreements from expiring on any day when the title loan office would be closed. PUBLIC COMMENT: Speakers were Kim Cline, Bonnie Cohen, Thomas DeBoe, Paul Hauser, Ed McJobian, and Rena Taylor. Opinion was almost evenly divided among the speakers. Some--Ms. Cline and Mr. Hauser--urged postponement of the vote to await action from Tallahassee. Others--Ms. Cohen and Ms. Taylor--urged the Board to adopt the measure. Mr. McJobian reminded the Board that staff had predicted a shortfall in fees compared to enforcement costs and asked whether that issue had been addressed. He also suggested incorporating a delay between the time a borrower defaulted and the actual moment of repossession of the vehicle. Mr. DeBoe, a member of the title loan industry, suggested the Board knew too little about the costs of doing business in that industry. Mr. DeBoe recommended a provision that would allow lenders, after adoption of the ordinance, to continue charging what he characterized as a reasonable rate of interest so as not to push borrowers with existing loans into default. Once those loans had been repaid, he continued, lenders could then decide whether to continue doing business under the new rate structure or simply retire from the title loan business. MOTION to adopt the ordinance with the changes as read in. Motion by Commissioner McCarty, seconded by Commissioner Roberts, and carried 6-0. Commissioner Aaronson absent. 4.F.
