MOTION to approve on preliminary reading and advertise for public hearing on July 27, 1999 at 9:30 a.m. Motion by Commissioner Marcus and seconded by Commissioner Roberts.

PUBLIC COMMENT:

Ed McJobian, in opposition to the ordinance, suggested that adult entertainment establishments engaged in prostitution and that this ordinance was licensing workers (prostitutes) in these establishments to go forward and conduct their activities.

Commissioner Marcus asked if extra County staff would be needed to enforce the licensing. Code Enforcement Director Terry Verner responded that no extra staff would be hired, as the Public Safety Department would handle the issuance of the identification cards and the Sheriff's Office would handle any enforcement issues. Commissioner Masilotti remarked that this ordinance was only the first step in regulating adult entertainment establishments and ensuring that children were not being manipulated in these places.

UPON CALL FOR A VOTE, the motion carried 5-0. Commissioners Aaronson and Lee absent.

5.E. PUBLIC SAFETY

5.E.1.

PRELIMINARY READING AND ADVERTISE FOR PUBLIC HEARING ON JULY 27, 1999 AT 9:30 A.M.; AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 17, ARTICLE V OF THE ADULT ENTERTAINMENT CODE REQUIRING PERFORMERS IN ADULT ENTERTAINMENT ESTABLISHMENTS TO OBTAIN WORK IDENTIFICATION CARDS. APPROVED 7-13-99

PUBLIC COMMENT:

Ed McJobian, in opposition to the ordinance, argued that a stricter ordinance was needed. He mentioned the fact that other counties and states had passed strict ordinances that resulted in the closing of many adult entertainment establishments. He contended that this ordinance would not protect residents from the spread of AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases which, he said, originated in these establishments. Commissioner Masilotti mentioned that many of the cities were not cooperating in a unified effort to develop a stronger ordinance.

MOTION to approve the preliminary reading and advertise for public hearing on July 27, 1999 at 9:30 a.m. Motion by Commissioner Masilotti and seconded by Commissioner Marcus.

Commissioner Marcus said that it was her understanding that all cities were regulated by a Countywide ordinance unless they chose not to participate. Riviera Beach was the only city that she knew had chosen not to participate in this ordinance. Assistant County Attorney Kathleen M. Scarlett confirmed the fact that each city must opt out if they do not wish to participate in a Countywide ordinance. Ms. Marcus again asked about the hiring of extra staff to handle the added work load, and she questioned whether all establishments would get notices in the mail. Public Safety Director Paul Milelli responded that the hiring of extra staff was not expected and that all establishments would receive notification of the licensing process in time to inform all their employees that they must obtain their identification cards no later than September 1, 1999.

Commissioner McCarty commented upon the fact that AIDS was a number one concern of Health Department Director Jean Malecki, M.D. She noted that in Dr. Malecki's report on preventive measures the public could take to stop the spread of AIDS, adult entertainment establishments were not listed as a source. She said she would be interested in receiving any verification from a public health agency that cited adult entertainment establishments as the origin of AIDS and/or other sexually transmitted diseases.

Commissioner Roberts pointed out that the Board did not condone the behavior occurring in these establishments, and that it was her belief that this ordinance was the first step in regulating the adult entertainment business following the guidelines of the Constitution. Commissioner Marcus added that it was at the request of the State Attorney's Office and the Sheriff's office that the Commission initiated this ordinance.

UPON CALL FOR A VOTE, the motion carried 5-0. Commissioners Aaronson and Lee absent.

MOTION to approve the contracts. Motion by Commissioner Marcus and seconded by Commissioner Roberts.

PUBLIC COMMENT:

Stanley Voice, in support of the four carriers, expressed concern that Intelitran's, the paratransit management firm hired by the County, intention to contract with Medicaid to handle their reservations along with the County's reservations would be disastrous for Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Transportation Disabled (TD) clients. He contended that Intelitran was having difficulty managing the reservations they had without accepting 500 or more calls a day from Medicaid clients.

Assistant County Administrator Vince Bonvento explained that Intelitran had the right to enter into a separate contract with Medicaid without County approval. He informed the Board that after discussions with Medicaid, they had agreed to postpone their contract to allow the County time to assess Intelitran's level of service. He mentioned that, although Intelitran's level of service had improved, some problems remained to be worked out.

Commissioner Masilotti inquired as to the results of the screening process established a few weeks ago to ensure that all clients who were using the door-to-door transportation service were eligible. Mr. Bonvento said that the item was scheduled on the July 27, 1999, Agenda for Board approval.

Upon witnessing some irresponsible driving incidents by the provider's drivers, Commissioner Marcus expressed concern that safety regulations within the contract should specify the training requirements for drivers. Mr. Bonvento stated that upon contractual execution all providers and their drivers would receive two full-day training sessions scheduled to be held at the Clayton Hutcheson Agricultural Center. Commissioner Masilotti suggested that the contracts should clearly specify driver safety requirements. Commissioner Roberts noted that under Florida law vehicle-for-hire drivers were limited to the number of tickets they could have before losing their licenses.

UPON CALL OF A VOTE, the motion carried 5-0. Commissioners Aaronson and Lee absent.

ITEM PULLED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA

3.H.3. DOCUMENT R-99-1212-D

CONTRACT WITH HAZEN AND SAWYER, P.C., FOR $611,998 TO PROVIDE MANAGEMENT SERVICES REQUIRED TO FULFILL THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE POSITION OF DIRECTOR OF THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS DIVISION FROM DECEMBER 16, 1999, THROUGH DECEMBER 15, 2002. (SEE R-97-2170-D) APPROVED AS AMENDED 7-13-99

Commissioner Roberts expressed concern that the County was paying an excessive amount to Hazen and Sawyer to retain the management services of John Chesher, P.E., to fill the County's Capital Improvements Division Director position. She suggested advertising the position for the purpose of employing an in-house director at a more reasonable rate. County Administrator Weisman noted that Mr. Chesher of Hazen and Sawyer was an outstanding individual who had worked on County projects since 1986 with an excellent success record. He mentioned the unsuccessful attempts to hire an in-house person to fill this position, noting that topnotch consultants in this field were not willing to work at the County's pay scale. Commissioner Newell asked if it was possible to do a one-year extension allowing the County time to look for an alternative during the interim. Mr. Weisman said it was possible.

Commissioner Masilotti inquired as to the response received during the advertising of this position. Deputy County Administrator Patrick Miller informed the Board that subsequent to a lack of response from qualified persons, the County had even solicited local industry for assistance to no avail.

MOTION to approve the contract. Motion by Commissioner Marcus and seconded by Commissioner McCarty.

Commissioner Roberts asked staff to research the methods by which other counties handle their capital improvement divisions. Commissioner Masilotti said that there was a state agency that aided municipalities and counties with their capital improvement projects for a flat fee of 3 percent. Commissioner Newell asked if this agency was willing to work with large counties. Ms. Roberts responded that, to her knowledge, the size of a county was not a factor and that she was aware of counties that had used the service and were satisfied with the results. Mr. Newell suggested that staff research this option.

UPON CALL FOR A VOTE, the motion FAILED 2-3. Commissioners Masilotti, Newell, and Roberts opposed. Commissioners Aaronson and Lee absent.

SUBSTITUTE MOTION to extend the contract for a one-year period from December 16, 1999, with the option of renewal and to direct staff to review options for finding a permanent Capital Improvements Division Director.

POSTPONEMENT OF THE FOREST HILL BOULEVARD CRALLS AMENDMENT TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FROM THE JULY 28, 1999, MEETING TO THE AUGUST 24, 1999, MEETING. APPROVED 7-13-99

Commissioner Masilotti requested postponement of the Forest Hill Boulevard Constrained Roadways at a Lower Level of Service (CRALLS) amendment until the August meeting. Commissioner Marcus said she was under the impression that a decision had to be made in July. Staff responded that at the July meeting the Board could continue the item until the August meeting, at which time a decision would be necessary to allow the CRALLS to be included in the 1999-2000 transmittal. Ms. Marcus expressed concern as to the availability of a quorum at the August meeting. Commissioner McCarty suggested scheduling the item for a 2:00 p.m. time certain. Mr. Masilotti said the postponement would give staff an opportunity to work out the land use issues surrounding the proposed Minto Development at State Road 7 and Forest Hill Boulevard. Ms. Marcus agreed to the postponement, but asked that staff be sure to notify all parties involved and ensure that a quorum would be present for the final decision. The Board informally agreed to the postponement.

WEB-FORM APPLICATIONS PERMITTING RESIDENTS TO SUBMIT BUDGET SUGGESTIONS ONLINE. DISCUSSED WITH DIRECTION 7-13-99

She said it was her understanding that this program was one of the most advanced procurement systems in the country, and she suggested staff research the possibility of launching this system in Palm Beach County.

9.D.1.

UPDATE ON THE 13TH STREET IMPROVEMENT PROJECT. DISCUSSED 7-13-99

Commissioner Marcus summarized her discussions with the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), the Port of Palm Beach, and the City of Riviera Beach regarding the 13th Street improvement project from U.S. 1 to Old Dixie Highway. It was her impression that the main issue was the timing due to the Port's impending opening and the rapid progress of the Skypass construction. The consensus of the MPO was that all parties benefiting from the improvement should share equally in the estimated $6 million cost for right-of-way acquisition and beautification. Ms. Marcus said that, in order to expedite the project, she suggested that the County authorize bonds to provide funding up front with terms stipulating reimbursement over a five-year period from the other entities involved. She explained that this approach would permit construction to begin and give each party time to research and apply for federal and state funds. The Port had agreed, but Riviera Beach had rejected the idea. Commissioner Marcus said she was not aware of the reasons behind the City's rejection, but she believed they were under the impression that the Port would assume the financial responsibility for the improvements, as 13th Street was the main entrance to their cruise line terminal. Commissioner Newell suggested that Commissioner Marcus try to meet with Mayor Michael Brown of Riviera Beach and discuss the issue before the next MPO meeting.

9.E.1.

REQUEST BY COUNTY PROPERTY APPRAISER GARY R. NIKOLITS FOR TERMINATION OF THE SEVEN THOROUGHFARE LANDSCAPING MAINTENANCE MUNICIPAL SERVICE TAXING UNITS ESTABLISHED IN 1994. DISCUSSED WITH DIRECTION 7-13-99

Commissioner Newell referenced a letter from County Property Appraiser Gary R. Nikolits requesting the termination of the municipal service taxing units established in 1994 for the purpose of funding the landscaping maintenance of County thoroughfares. Mr. Nikolits contended that since the Commission has decided to allocate funds from other sources for road beautification and has never levied a millage in these districts, the work load and costs associated with accurately accounting for these districts on the ad valorem tax roll was an unnecessary expense. Commissioner McCarty agreed with Mr. Nikolits. Commissioner Marcus expressed concern about the surety of future beautification funding sources and suggested the cost to reinstate the taxing units would be higher than maintaining them on the tax record. Commissioner Newell asked staff to research the issue and bring back recommendations.

9.E.2.

CONTRIBUTION TO THE TREASURE COAST SECTION OF THE AMERICAN PLANNING ASSOCIATION FOR $5,000 TO FUND A STUDY TO ANALYZE THE ISSUES OF TRAFFIC AND LAND USE APPROVALS WHICH AFFECT THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN PALM BEACH COUNTY. APPROVED 7-13-99

Commissioner Newell made reference to a letter from Anna S. Cottrell, AICP, American Planning Association member, requesting a $5,000 contribution to fund a study by the Treasure Coast section of the American Planning Association to analyze the issues of traffic and land use approvals which will affect the quality of life in the County. Commissioner McCarty said that she supported the study but questioned if the findings would be Countywide recommendations. Mr. Newell explained that the idea was to get professional planners, engineers, attorneys, and community leaders together from all parts of the County and develop a quality traffic performance standards approval system. Ms. McCarty suggested members of the Board should attend the session. Mr. Newell said this was just the beginning stage and that ultimately the final decision would come back to the Board.

County Administrator Weisman informed the Board that funds were available in the planning and consulting budget if the Board wanted to approve the contribution today.

MOTION to approve the $5,000 contribution. Motion by Commissioner Masilotti, seconded by Commissioner Roberts, and carried 5-0. Commissioners Aaronson and Lee absent.

9.E.3.

TEMPORARY CRALLS DESIGNATION FOR THE WINSTON TRAILS PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT ZONING DISTRICT. APPROVED 7-13-99

Commissioner Newell explained that Engineering was requesting the approval of several temporary Constrained Roadway at a Lower Level of Service (CRALLS) designations in conjunction with a zoning extension granted last month for the Winston Trails Planned Unit Development zoning district. County Engineer George T. Webb stated that there were five roadways immediately surrounding the project that had reached capacity. In order for Winston Trails to continue building, the level of service on these roadways needed to be modified. He added that all of the roadways were scheduled to be built in the next two years. The motion today would authorize staff to initiate the process to add these particular CRALLS to the 1999-2000 amendment round scheduled for the August 24, 1999, meeting. After further discussion, Commissioner Marcus asked for the location of each CRALLS needed for the Winston Trails project. Commissioner Newell identified the CRALLS as: (1) Boynton Beach Boulevard from Hagen Ranch Road to Jog Road; (2) Jog Road from Melaleuca Lane to Hypoluxo Road; (3) Lantana Road from Lyons Road to Hagen Ranch Road; (4) Lawrence Road from Hypoluxo Road to Gateway Road; and (5) Haverhill Road from Melaleuca Lane to Lantana Road.

MOTION to authorize staff to initiate the process to add the five temporary CRALLS designations to the 1999-2000 amendment round. Motion by Commissioner Roberts, seconded by Commissioner Marcus, and carried 5-0. Commissioners Aaronson and Lee absent.

7.A.

CORRECTNESS OF COMMENTS REGARDING ADULT ENTERTAINMENT ESTABLISHMENTS. DISCUSSED 7-13-99

Ed McJobian mentioned that comments made by Commissioner McCarty earlier in the meeting regarding adult entertainment establishments were incorrect according to documentation he had received from the State Attorney's office. He requested that the Board permit him extra time to speak on this item. The Board denied Mr. McJobian's request.

7.B.

REMOVAL OF SIGNS IN VIOLATION OF COUNTY CODES LOCATED IN THE UNINCORPORATED SOUTHWEST BOCA RATON AREA. DISCUSSED 7-13-99

Ed McJobian inquired as to Code Enforcement's schedule for removing what he characterized as unsightly signs posted everywhere along various roadways in southwest Boca Raton. He noted that he had called Code Enforcement with the names of companies advertised on the signs and locations and followed up with a written complaint letter.

Code Enforcement Director Verner explained that this was a Countywide problem and that his department did periodic sign removals, but because of the recurring nature of this violation every incident could not be immediately addressed. He said he would direct his team to remove the signs during their monthly media maintenance.

7.C.

FUTURE PLANS FOR THE EXTENSION OF STATE ROAD 7. DISCUSSED 7-13-99

Loretta Furlan expressed concern that when the reliever road was built through the Acreage, the state would later decide to widen it for evacuation purposes.

Commissioner Masilotti stated that there were many different alignments being studied for the State Road 7 extension. It was the goal to have all the studies complete by the August 17, 1999, meeting scheduled with the residents. He mentioned that he had been working earnestly to help the residents of that area. Commissioner Roberts added that although a reliever road was needed, she would support Commissioner Masilotti's efforts to assure the road would have the least amount of impact on the local residents.

In exchange, Minto had agreed to scale back the project, which would cut the anticipated traffic flow on Forest Hill Boulevard by 25 percent.
