5.A.1.
REQUEST FROM THE ARENA AT CLEMATIS, INC., TO EXTEND THE LETTER OF INTENT THROUGH OCTOBER 6, 1999, TO PROVIDE FOR THE SATISFACTION OF ALL CONDITIONS REQUIRED BY THE COUNTY. (SEE R-98-1291-D) APPROVED 4-6-99
PUBLIC COMMENT:
Lesley Corley, chairman of the board of The Arena at Clematis, Inc. (AAC), explained that although the AAC had obtained a conceptually approved financial commitment for certain net parking revenues from the City of West Palm Beach and had appointed an advisory board composed of key business leaders to assist with the structure of the arena, an extension was necessary to satisfy the remaining conditions required by the County. MOTION to grant a six-month extension from today's date. Motion by Commissioner McCarty and seconded by Commissioner Roberts.
Commissioner McCarty informed Mr. Corley that this would be the last extension granted as a feasibility study was currently going on for the South Florida Fairgrounds to serve as an arena site.
Commissioner Newell inquired as to the status of contracts for the purchase of the arena site. Mr. Corley said that 80 percent of the properties were under contract and that the approved financial commitments from the city and the County for parking revenues would allow the AAC to approach private financing sources. Commissioner Masilotti asked if the extension would limit the County's ability to accept other proposals for arena projects. Chief Deputy County Attorney Gordon P. Selfridge explained that the intent under the agreement was to prohibit any acceptance of proposals from private entities, not public entities such as the South Florida Fairgrounds and the Florida Atlantic University. As the original letter of intent expired on February 6, 1999, Mr. Selfridge explained that he would bring back a formal extension agreement for Board approval. UPON CALL FOR A VOTE, the motion carried 5-1. Commissioner Newell opposed. Commissioner Aaronson absent.

MARINE INDUSTRY EDUCATION PLAN WHICH INCLUDES THE CURRENT STATUS OF MARINE VOCATIONAL TRAINING AT THE PALM BEACH MARITIME MUSEUM. (SEE R-95-841-D) APPROVED WITH DIRECTION 4-6-99 b. CONCEPTUAL APPROVAL OF THE SUBORDINATION OF THE COUNTY'S $400,000 SECOND MORTGAGE WITH PALM BEACH MARITIME MUSEUM TO A NEW FIRST MORTGAGE SECURING A MAXIMUM LOAN OF $700,000, PROVIDED THE EXISTING FIRST MORTGAGE ENCUMBERING THE PROPERTY IS SATISFIED IN FULL. APPROVED WITH DIRECTION 4-6-99
MOTION to accept the education plan and approve in concept subordination of the second mortgage. Motion by Commissioner McCarty and seconded by Commissioner Masilotti. County Administrator Weisman presented a request from John C. Sansbury, Trustee, asking the County to waive the $400,000 second mortgage being held as security contingent upon the museum satisfying certain conditions of its agreement with the County. Mr. Sansbury's contention was that the museum had satisfied the educational obligations required under the agreement. Commissioner McCarty and Commissioner Masilotti said Mr. Sansbury had talked with them regarding the release of the security mortgage and that they had no problem including that direction in the intent of the motion. AMENDED MOTION to include direction to waive the second mortgage being held as security. The maker and seconder agreed. Mr. Sansbury clarified that the grant stipulated that a $400,000 no interest second mortgage be executed in favor of the County to guarantee the establishment of the Tech Prep Program and to ensure that the renovations were completed. To date, the renovations have been completed and the museum, while waiting for the funded and approved marine tech program from the School District, has been operating as a classroom for the Sabal Palm High School. Therefore, the museum requests the mortgage be waived and the grant be returned to a pure grant status. Assistant County Administrator William E. Wilkins clarified that, if the waiver was approved, the conditions of the original grant agreement would continue in force without the requirement of a security mortgage.
UPON CALL FOR A VOTE, the motion carried 6-0. Commissioner Aaronson absent.

Commissioner McCarty said she would make a motion unless staff had any relevant input regarding the four incubators requiring approval. Assistant County Administrator William E. Wilkins explained that upon staff's review of the strategic plans, a critical path list would be developed for each incubator to provide a definite time line for achieving the goals defined within their plans. If these goals were not reached, the Board had the option to immediately terminate the agreement.
After reviewing the information provided by each business, Commissioner Roberts expressed concern that three out of the four had not reached their defined goals. Mr. Wilkins explained that the time limit to agenda the item for today's Board meeting did not allow for each business to gather the most current information. He assured Ms. Robert that each business was on target. Ms. Roberts suggested delaying approval until the up-to-date information could be reviewed. Mr. Wilkins reiterated that the development of a critical path list would allow staff to know immediately which entities were not on target and recommend termination of their contracts. Ms. Roberts stressed the importance of ensuring that each incubator attained financial self-sufficiency within the allotted time period and did not continue to tap other County small business funds. Commissioner Lee acknowledged that the incubator program was a costly endeavor, but the County was the only vehicle for these lagging areas. She confirmed the fact that other funding sources were being pursued by the incubators.
MOTION to accept the strategic business plan and approve the grant agreement (Item 5.A.4.). Motion by Commissioner Masilotti and seconded by Commissioner McCarty.
Commissioner Newell inquired as to the validity of the reports submitted by the incubator businesses. Assistant County Administrator Wilkins stated that Economic Development Specialist Constance Scott would be responsible for verifying the information its strategic plans. Commissioner. McCarty suggested that postponing approval would be detrimental for the incubator's continued service operation. Mr. Wilkins agreed and said each incubator had assured him of their commitment to succeed within the allotted five years.

Public Affairs Director Denise J. Cote, gave a brief history of the establishment of the Millennium Council and its purpose to serve as an umbrella for Countywide activities commemorating the Year 2000. She recognized the 18 council members for their initiative in developing and coordinating events and projects scheduled for the celebration of the new millennium. The commemoration period began on January 5, 1999, at the South Florida Fair and is expected to continue through May 5, 2000, at SunFest. Also a custom website, sponsored by Cox Interactive Media, Inc., has been developed to inform the public of dates and times for sanctioned events and projects. The website will continue to be updated and utilized for future activities. The Board thanked Ms. Cote and the council for their efforts.
Commissioner McCarty suggested the council may want to add to their announcements a preparation fact sheet to outline emergency procedures for the public, as computer glitches during the year 2000 transition may cause unforeseen problems.

5.A.9.
RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING A SOUTH COUNTY JURY TRIAL FEASIBILITY COMMITTEE. POSTPONED TO MAY 4, 1999, WITH DIRECTION 4-6-99
County Administrator Weisman stated that in accordance with Board direction, staff was providing recommendations for the composition of a South County jury trial feasibility committee which was a modification of a request submitted by the Alliance of Delray Residential Associations.
PUBLIC COMMENT:
Frank Behrman, chair of the Alliance's Judicial and Criminal Justice Committee, said that although he was happy the establishment of a South County jury pool feasibility committee had come this far, he disagreed with staff's recommendations. He suggested a 30-day postponement to allow Alliance members to meet with Mr. Weisman and discuss modifications.
(CLERK'S NOTE: Commissioner Masilotti rejoined the meeting.)
Bill Schwartz, vice-president of the Progressive Residents of Delray Beach, in support of the postponement, commented that his group favored including more South County residents in the composition of the committee.
Commissioner McCarty said she would support the postponement but suggested that the various South County organizations recommend representatives rather than the Alliance naming appointees. She recommended clarifying direction for Mr. Weisman as to the composition of the committee. On one hand, the Alliance wants only South County advocates, and on the other, the County wants a broader composition of County representatives.
MOTION to POSTPONE consideration of Item 5.A.9. until May 4, 1999, and to provide for the selection process to include South County advocates recommended by organizations rather than individuals. Motion by Commissioner McCarty and seconded by Commissioner Masilotti.
Commissioner Marcus noted that the implications of having a South County jury pool are Countywide, as other areas may want the same service in the future. She suggested including a representative from the Chief Judge's Office and at least one representative from West and North County. Ms. McCarty agreed.
Commissioner Roberts expressed concern that the huge financial investment in the main courthouse would be squandered if the majority of court cases were decentralized.
Mr. Behrman said he requested a postponement for the sole purpose of meeting with Mr. Weisman to make suggestions, and that the Alliance did not want to control the committee. To simplify matters, Ms. McCarty said she would change her motion to provide for postponement only.
AMENDED MOTION to POSTPONE consideration of Item 5.A.9. until May 4, 1999. The maker and seconder agreed, and upon call for a vote, the motion carried 6-0. Commissioner Aaronson absent. 5.B. COUNTY ATTORNEY

3.C.16. RESOLUTION R-99-614
RESOLUTION DECLARING THE ACQUISITION OF PROPERTIES KNOWN AS PARCELS 101, 102, AND 103 IN FEE SIMPLE FOR INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS TO GLADES ROAD AT POWERLINE ROAD (AKA JOG ROAD), TO BE A PUBLIC NECESSITY; AND AUTHORIZING THE SELECTION OF APPRAISERS AND FILING OF EMINENT DOMAIN PROCEEDINGS; TOTAL ESTIMATED VALUE $95,100. ADOPTED 4-6-99
Commissioner McCarty expressed concern that although the majority of improvements were occurring in Commissioner Aaronson's district her constituents had not been notified of the intersection improvements to Glades Road until after the condemnation process began. Residents in Los Paseos, a development located on the southeast corner of Glades Road and Powerline Road (aka Jog Road), were first notified when County appraisers contacted them to acquire right-of-way.
PUBLIC COMMENT:
Mona Ederle, member of the Los Paseos Homeowners Association, in opposition to the amount of land being acquired for the intersection improvement, contended that rights-of-way not only were being purchased for the intersection improvement, but were related to the future widening of Powerline Road (aka Jog Road) as well as Glades Road.
County Engineer George T. Webb responded that Powerline Road (aka Jog Road) south of Glades was a state road, and at this time the state had no intentions of widening Powerline Road (aka Jog Road) or Glades Road. He said the extra land acquisition was needed to accommodate additional turn lanes at the intersection.
Commissioner Newell suggested that the County devise a better way to notify residents of future road expansion projects. He noted that every few weeks residents were before the Board opposing the widening of roads. Mr. Webb said the expedition of this project to accommodate the expansion at the Saint Andrew's School left very little time to post notification. He explained that the improvement at this intersection was scheduled in the County's Five-Year Road Plan, but the school offered to fund the project up front if the County would start early.
Commissioner Roberts asked about expansion plans for Glades Road. County Engineer Webb responded that Glades Road, as well as Powerline Road (aka Jog Road), were state roads and would be Metropolitan Planning Organization priorities. He explained that, until such plans were incorporated, excessive backups on Glades Road could be controlled by changing the traffic signal timing.
Motion to adopt the resolution with direction to acquire only the County standard of 700 feet and to have staff meet with residents and Commissioner McCarty for mitigation regarding the land acquisition. Motion by Commissioner McCarty, seconded by Commissioner Marcus, and carried 6-0. Commissioner Aaronson absent.

MOTION to appoint Charles Walsey to represent agriculture. Motion by Commissioner Masilotti and seconded by Commissioner Roberts. Commissioner Lee asked to appoint Richard A. Machek. Commissioner Masilotti asked if it was the Board's goal to have a representative from each of the three interests. County Administrator Weisman responded that there was no specification. AMENDED MOTION to appoint Richard A. Machek and Charles Walsey. The maker and seconder agreed. Commissioner McCarty suggested adding another member to the committee and selecting representation from each of the three interest areas. Commissioner Masilotti recommended Dean Turney. Commissioner Roberts recommended Dan Coffman. Ms. McCarty noted that Victor Connor was nominated rather than Dan Coffman. Commissioner Marcus stated that the resolution before the Board called for only two appointments and that there was a motion already on the floor. Mr. Masilotti suggested voting on the first motion and then making a subsequent motion.

COMPLAINT OF OBJECTIONABLE TREATMENT BY THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE. DISCUSSED 4-6-99 Donald W. Borovy said that, in an effort to clean up the remains of a burned-out trailer in his neighborhood, he loaded and removed two dumpsters full of debris and buried a small amount of remaining material on the premises. A neighbor reported the incident, and Mr. Borovy was picked up at his place of employment by a representative of the Solid Waste Authority's Environmental Crimes Unit and representatives from the Sheriff's Office. He was handcuffed and taken to jail where he was put in a holding cell for six hours. Mr. Borovy said he should not have been subjected to this intolerable treatment. County Administrator Weisman said he would get the details of the case from the Sheriff's Office and report his findings to the Board. 7.B.
REGULATION OF ADULT ENTERTAINMENT ESTABLISHMENTS. DISCUSSED 4-6-99 Ed McJobian, in favor of developing a task force and drafting an ordinance to regulate adult entertainment establishments, asked for verification as to comments made by the press that the County was putting together a task force and drafting an ordinance to prohibit underage girls from working in adult entertainment establishments. Commissioner McCarty responded that the proposed ordinance had to do with citing adult entertainment establishments Countywide. The fact that the municipalities have declined to participate in a Countywide task force has left the issue undecided. (CLERK'S NOTE: Commissioner Masilotti joined the meeting.) 7.C. PLANS FOR UNIT 11 LAND PURCHASES. DISCUSSED 4-6-99 Barbara Susco expressed concern that there was no logical plan for the purchasing of Unit 11 land to create a wildlife corridor to connect the Loxahatchee Slough to the J. W. Corbett Wildlife Management Area. Ms. Susco said the offer to purchase her land was less than she originally paid for it, and she wanted to see justification that her land was identified as part of the corridor. County Administrator Weisman responded that undeveloped properties in a portion of the Acreage known as Unit 11 were being purchased for drainage and water storage. Additional lands were identified for environmental purposes between the J. W. Corbett Wildlife Management Area and the Loxahatchee Slough. Mr. Weisman noted that he was not sure of the exact location, but would be happy to get the answer for Ms. Susco. (CLERK'S NOTE: Commissioner Newell left the meeting.) 6.G.
