All of the newly created jobs must be maintained an additional 24 months. The term of the contract is 48 months and the effective date is February 1, 1999. This expansion will require increasing its Boca Raton facility from 10,000 sq. ft. to 30,000 sq. ft. The annual average wage of the 50 new jobs will be $28,000. (Economic Development) District 4 (HF) (Admin) 29 6A-5 ADD-ON - TIME CERTAIN 11:00 A.M.: Staff requests a motion to: A) accept the resignation of Dr. Jacqueline Martin as Medical Examiner for District 15; and B) approve the appointment of Jon R. Thogmartin, M.D., to serve as the District 15 Palm Beach County Medical Examiner effective April 1, 1999. SUMMARY: On April 1, 1999, Jacqueline M.

Dr. Thogmartin, who currently is our senior Associate Medical examiner and is a County employee, has the credentials and support of the various law enforcement agencies throughout Palm Beach County.

The proposed annual salary for Dr. Thogmartin's appointment is $125,000. If approved, he would continue his employment status as a County employee. Countywide (DW) (Pub Safety/Med Ex) 29 6A-6 ADD-ON - TIME CERTAIN 11:05 A.M.: Staff recommends motion to adopt: a Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County establishing the Conservation Land Acquisition Committee; providing for establishment and function; providing for composition; providing for an effective date. SUMMARY: The Board had previously requested staff to prepare an ordinance which would create a committee, establish procedures, priorities, and criteria regarding the acquisition of conservation lands with the proceeds of the March 9, 1999 Land Acquisition for Conservation Purposes Bond Referendum. Staff encountered difficulty in attempting to develop all the necessary criteria and related matters to be included in this ordinance in the short time period available to it. In light of the importance of this valuable public acquisition program, staff believes the public interest is better served by establishing a committee with the appropriate expertise to throughly study this issue and develop well reasoned and scientifically sound criteria, procedures, and priorities to be used in implementing this Land Acquisition for Conservation Purposes Bond Referendum. As such, staff recommends that the Board adopt a resolution creating the Conservation Land Acquisition Committee and charging it to develop procedures, priorities, and criteria regarding the acquisition of such lands. Involved environmental groups have indicated support for this approach. Countywide (GPS) 29 6B-1 REVISED TITLE: A) acceptance of the designation of Palm Beach County as the Community Transportation Coordinator as defined in Chapter 427, Florida Statutes; and B) the hiring of two (2) staff persons to fulfill the responsibilities as specified in both Chapter 427, Florida Statutes and Chapter 41-2, Florida Administrative Code, for coordination of transportation disadvantaged services; Palm Tran proposes to cover the cost for these employees with funds from the TD Trust Fund, subject to the approval of the Florida Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged; and C) an Agreement with the State of Florida Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged for the County to serve as the designated Community Transportation Coordinator for a period of one (1) year. (Palm Tran) 30 6C-2 ADD-ON: Staff recommends motion to approve: A) a $750,000 Contract with Underground Industries, Incorporated, the lowest responsive bidder, for the construction of the Highland Pines Drainage Improvements; and B) Budget Transfer of $63,544 in the Capital Outlay Fund from the Stub Canal Drainage project to the Highland Pines Drainage Improvement project. SUMMARY: On January 12, 1999, the Board requested that an emergency contract be developed for the Highland Pines Drainage Improvements. four contractors were selected to submit bids, which were opened on January 29, 1999. It is the intent that the contracts be executed at this time without a Payment and Performance bond or Insurance Certificate. These documents will be delivered to the Engineering Department prior to the start of construction on March 1, 1999. the lowest responsive bid was $1,060,000 submitted by Underground Industries, Incorporated. Because all submitted bids were greater than the available budget, the amount of contract work is being reduced so as to be within the budget. The Contractors were advised that minority participation is encouraged and expected, however, no goals were required for this bid due to the emergency situation. The low bidder, Underground Industries, Incorporated, did not submit any minority participation. A copy of the contract is and supporting documentation is available for review at the Office of the County Engineer. District 1 (Eng) 30 6C-3 ADD-ON: Staff recommends motion to approve: a $2,000 Settlement Agreement with Regina Gagne for a drainage easement and property restoration for the proposed outfall of the drainage system serving the Highland Pines Subdivision, as well as adjacent developments. SUMMARY: In order to obtain sufficient room to construct the proposed six foot diameter storm sewer outfall for the Highland Pines drainage system, it was necessary to obtain an additional drainage easement over the property owned by Regina Gagne. As compensation for the easement, she has agreed to settle for $2,000 which includes the land value of the easement as well as the loss of one (1) tree and the inconvenience of the construction on her property, Staff considers this amount to be reasonable when compared with other similar easement acquisitions. Approval of this agreement by the Board will enable the construction project to be expedited, consistent with the Board's direction at the January 12, 1999, meeting. District 1 (ME) (Eng) 31 6D-6 REVISED TITLE: A) settlement in the eminent domain action styled Palm Beach County v. Bruce D.

(Co Atty) (Further staff review) 32 6H-1 ADD-ON: Staff recommends motion to: A) approve a Contract Amendment with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) for the Jupiter Ridge Natural Area Estuarine Enhancement Project to extend the deadlines for acceptance of final project invoices (July 21, 1999) and completion date (August 20, 1999); and B) authorize the County Administrator or his designee to sign all future time extensions, task assignments, certifications and other forms associated with this agreement, and necessary minor amendments that do not change the scope of work or terms and conditions of the agreement. SUMMARY: The contract amendment will extend the deadlines for reimbursement by FDEP for additional work associated with the Jupiter Ridge Natural Area Estuarine Enhancement Project. This amendment will allow sufficient time to spend the $23,106 uncommitted balance from the original FDEP $40,000 grant (R-97-121-D). No additional County funds will be required as match. In addition, the County Administrator or his designee will sign future minor amendments and time extensions as necessary.

Motion by Commissioner McCarty, seconded by Commissioner Aaronson and carried 5-0. Commissioners Marcus and Roberts absent. 5.A. ORDINANCE 99-3 ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE 85-40, AS AMENDED, ESTABLISHING AN AMENDED FIVE-YEARROAD PROGRAM; PROVIDING FOR ADOPTION OF REVISED FIVE-YEAR ROAD PLAN AND REVISED LIST OF PROJECTS CONTAINED IN EXHIBIT A; IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN; MODIFICATION OF THE PLAN; FUNDING OF OTHER ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS; AND INTERPRETATION OF EXHIBIT. (AMENDS ORDINANCE 85-40 AS AMENDED) (P.O.P. 529572) ADOPTED 2-2-99 Assistant County Engineer G. Haney Frakes stated that the preliminary reading for the ordinance was held on December 2, 1998, and advertised today's public hearing. The annual updated Five-Year Road Program would add Fiscal Year 2002-03. He noted that he would read into the record four findings of fact per the Board's direction at the December 2 meeting. He would also review roads, highlighted in red on the illustrated map, that even with the state and County adopted Five-Year Road Plan implemented, would exceed the Unified Land Development Code. PUBLIC COMMENT: Ed Gitterman suggested redefining the plan to consider construction of 4-lane roads where none exist, installation of storm drainage to areas prone to flooding, repavement of older worn-down roadways, and construction of paths, sidewalks, and bus shelters to encourage mass transit and other alternatives to driving. Bobbi Valentine suggested revisions and modifications to the road plan should include support for the paratransit program in consideration for Americans with disabilities. (CLERK'S NOTE: Commissioner Marcus joined the meeting.) Mr. Frakes read into the record the following findings: In reference to the Haverhill Road from 45th Street to Beeline Highway Construction Line Item. Since this construction line item is proposed for delaying until FY 2002-03, and since this is more than two years beyond when the construction was originally programmed, two findings need to be made in order for this delay to be approved by a majority vote: 1. That the deletion of the construction project will not result in any link or intersection on the road network operating at greater than the Adopted Level of Service as defined in this Ordinance if such a link would not have operated at greater than the Adopted Level of Service as defined in this Ordinance had the project been constructed as originally programmed in the adopted Five-Year Road Program. The 1997-98 Average Daily Traffic on Haverhill Road is 12,236. The Level of Service D standard service volume for a 2/3 lane roadway is 14,300. Finding One is met. 2. That no project, which was approved and phased based upon such ASSURED CONSTRUCTION, would be denied BUILDING PERMITS because of the deletion of the construction. There are no development projects which are phased to the expansion of Haverhill Road. Finding Two is met. The Board of County Commissioners determines that the County has adhered to and implemented its Five-Year Road Program based on the following findings: 3. The amount of funding of the current Fiscal Year of the Five-Year Road Program is at a minimum as contemplated in the Comprehensive Plan and the Five-Year Road Program, and that projects being added to the new fifth year of the Five-Year Road Program are at a rate contemplated in the Comprehensive Plan. 4. Fewer than 20 percent of the programmed road construction projects from the preceding fiscal year are more than 12 months behind schedule (as confirmed by the annual report of the Five-Year Road Program Oversight and Advisory Council). Following this being stated for the record by the staff, then a motion to affirm such findings would be in order to be made by the Board. Commissioner Aaronson mentioned that in a short period of time some roads would be overcapacity. He questioned the level of service adopted by the County in comparison to other counties. County Engineer George T. Webb noted that less than 10 percent of County roads do not meet the current adopted standards. The County's adopted standards call for a conservative level for concurrency purposes and for developers to meet a high standard before preceding with development. He maintained that the County is above statewide averages and holding steady in comparison with its growth rate. Mr. Aaronson inquired about future plans to accommodate roads that cannot be widened. Mr. Webb responded that within the past 20 years the County has tried to match 100 percent land uses with the ability to build roads to support the traffic associated with those land uses. He noted that part of the charge to planning was to balance land uses with the transportation infrastructure. Currently, there are only a few select roads that cannot grow, but this was to be expected in a county the size of Palm Beach County. The only alternative was to stop land uses that increase traffic on roads that cannot be expanded. Commissioner Aaronson requested a comparison report between counties so a determination could be made as to the direction the County needed to follow. (CLERK'S NOTE: Commissioner Roberts joined the meeting.) Commissioner McCarty concurred with Mr. Aaronson. She could not recall making that determination within the past eight years. County Engineer Webb reported that the Board has been presented on a regular basis with the Department of Transportation's numbers, which include numbers from other counties. Commissioner Newell voiced concern for a need to develop new criteria regarding the current first-in, first-served selection process of developments. He suggested redefining the criteria to reflect the quality of developments rather than which development is first. Mr. Webb agreed, but mentioned redefining criteria would be a time-intensive endeavor lengthened by how much public involvement was mandated. Mr. Newell reiterated the need to change criteria to opt for quality developments rather than those with the most money. He also inquired whether reduction on dollars available from the postponement of the Haverhill Road project would be an item for discussion in a future workshop. Mr. Webb noted that the 1999-2000 fiscal year reserve for beautification currently included the $7 Million reduction from the postponed Haverhill Road project, and that discussion for the allocation of those funds was scheduled for the March, 1999, workshop. Commissioner Newell asked if the monies were designated for beautification expenditures only. Mr. Webb responded that a note attached to the reserve stated the $7 Million would not be available until the Board gave further instructions, which could allocate funding for projects other than beautification. Mr. Newell suggested moving forward on defining criteria for the selection of quality developments. Commissioner Marcus recommended waiting until Engineering returned with the answers to the level of service question posed by Commissioner Aaronson before making changes in the system. Commissioner Roberts emphasized discussing definitive criteria for the selection process in a workshop as soon as possible. County Administrator Weisman explained that the topic was a Planning issue rather than an Engineering issue. He advised taking into consideration the fact that Planning was currently on an overloaded work schedule. Mr. Webb proposed delegating duties to other departments to relieve the work loads on Engineering and Planning. Commissioner Marcus asked for clarification of the current adopted level of service standard. In response, Mr. Webb reported that the present adopted level was service level D. He explained that each level has a range of numbers attached to it, and in comparison with other large counties that have adopted level D, the County used the low end of the range. Ms. Marcus asked for the date of the March workshop. Mr. Weisman reported that the workshop was scheduled for March 23, 1999. Commissioner Marcus voiced concern that the workshop may conflict with the Florida Association of Counties Day. She asked that the schedule be checked to ensure that sufficient time was allowed for a relevant discussion on beautification and road program items. Commissioner McCarty stressed the importance of having a lengthy discussion and suggested having the workshop on March 22, 1999. Ms. Roberts suggested the workshop discussion also include in- depth criteria regarding the transit-oriented levels of service adopted in the Comprehensive Plan for traffic performance. Mr. Frakes agreed that recommendations from the task force needed to be aggressive in developing transit-oriented criteria with considerations from the municipalities. Ms. Roberts recommended looking at incorporating transit-orient systems into new eastern developments in the north end of the county. Commissioner Masilotti readdressed the question of handling roadways that have reached capacity. County Engineer Webb voiced his disappointment that the developers in overcapacity areas had not come forward with a proposal to obtain the funding necessary to supplement the County's limited budget. Mr. Masilotti inquired as to the possibility of creating an increased impact fee schedule to provide for the lack of developer participation. Mr. Webb explained that normally increased fee schedules were delayed until existing contracts expired. At that time all new contracts would fall under the new adopted fee schedule. MOTION to find that the four findings of fact are met. Motion by Commissioner Masilotti. Ms. Roberts said the motion needed to be amended to include the adoption of the ordinance. Mr. Webb interrupted the discussion to call for Mr. Frakes to identify, for the record, the roadways exceeding capacity, as highlighted in red on the illustrated map. Mr. Frakes spent several minutes identifying and explaining the problem areas highlighted on the map. Upon Mr. Frakes's conclusion, Mr. Webb stressed the importance of the roads indicated by red lines on the illustrated map. As these roadways will not meet concurrency standards, money needed to be allocated to solve the problem or development will be halted in these areas. Commissioner Aaronson suggested that hypothetically the cause and effect results of completed improvement projects should alleviate overextended areas. Mr. Webb gave assurance that the cause and effect aspects had been considered in the plan, and at present, the map illustrated the County's best projections for the next five years. AMENDED MOTION to include adoption of the ordinance. Motion by Commissioner Masilotti and seconded by Commissioner Aaronson. Upon call for a vote, the motion carried 7-0.

ADOPTED 2-2-99 MOTION to adopt the resolution. Motion by Commissioner Masilotti and seconded by Commissioner Aaronson. In reference to the Board's direction, to come back today with the first reading of an ordinance regarding the acquisition of conservation lands, County Administrator Weisman explained that time constraints did not allow for the development of a satisfactory ordinance. Therefore, staff recommends the adoption of a resolution establishing a conservation land acquisition committee to meet and prepare terms of the ordinance according to County guidelines taking into consideration input from external conservation environmental groups. The committee will bring back its conclusions after the March 9, 1999, bond issue is adopted. PUBLIC COMMENTS: Elaine Usherson, conservation chair of the Sierra Club, stated support for the resolution and requested including current members of the Environmental Sensitive Lands Acquisition Selection Committee (ESLASC) for the new committee. She commended the current committee members for their excellent work in selection of environmental sensitive lands. Commissioner Masilotti said it was his understanding that the new committee was to include the current nine ESLASC members plus two additional members, one from the economic field and one from the business community. County Administrator Weisman responded that those fields were currently represented on ESLASC, and that the two new members would be chosen from the agricultural industry. Recommendations for these positions would be presented at the February 23, 1999, meeting. UPON CALL FOR A VOTE, the motion carried 7-0. 6. REGULAR AGENDA 6.A. ADMINISTRATION 6.A.1. PRELIMINARY READING AND ADVERTISE FOR PUBLIC HEARING ON FEBRUARY 23, 1999, AT 9:30 A.M.

APPROVED WITH STAFF DIRECTION 2-2-99 MOTION to approve the ordinance on preliminary reading and advertise for public hearing on February 23, 1999, at 9:30 a.m. Motion by Commissioner Marcus and seconded by Commissioner Aaronson. Commissioner McCarty inquired as to the differences between the County's ordinance and the state law. Chief Deputy County Attorney Selfridge explained the ordinance would take existing state law as it applies to licensed gun dealers and extends it to include unlicensed gun sales conducted on public property. Currently, people with private gun collections can come to gun shows and sell guns without abiding by the restrictions imposed on licensed dealers. The ordinance will subject unlicensed sellers to the same laws and regulations as licensed dealers. Unlicensed sellers will have to deal with licensed dealers to obtain criminal background checks. For the future, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) will need to revise regulations at the state level to accommodate the influx of unlicensed sellers' requests for criminal background checks. Commissioner Roberts asked if the ordinance basically followed state regulations concerning unlicensed gun sales. She also inquired as to the guidelines adopted by other surrounding counties, such as Orange, Hillsboro, Broward, and Dade. Mr. Selfridge answered that essentially the content was similar with exceptions to variances in the length of waiting periods. Ms. Roberts inquired if the inconsistencies would present an enforcement problem. Mr. Selfridge did not believe there would be a conflict of interest, as the ordinance was being adopted Countywide and had been unanimously supported by all the municipalities. PUBLIC COMMENT: George Russum, Frank Kozlowski, and Joe Madej opposed the adoption of the ordinance, contending that additional regulation at the County level was not required. Also they concurred that the ordinance would infringe on their personal rights to market private collections in a safe environment. Commissioner Lee read the comment card of the following person opposed to the ordinance: Rob Ross. Commissioner Masilotti questioned the FDLE's intentions to revise laws to permit unlicensed dealers to obtain criminal background checks. Mr. Selfridge stated that he was not aware of the status of FDLE's plan to alleviate the criminal background check problem. Mr. Masilotti asked staff to bring back information as to the intentions of the FDLE to provide funding for private gun dealers to obtain criminal background checks. UPON CALL FOR A VOTE, the motion carried 7-0. 6.A.2. APPROVE THE FOLLOWING SELECTION BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE PALM BEACH COUNTY WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT BOARD, INC./WAGES COALITION: ADDITION OF KEY POWER TECHNICAL INSTITUTE, INC., TO VENDOR LIST FOR PROGRAM YEARS 1998-2000 TO PROVIDE TRACTOR-TRAILER AND TRUCK-BUS CERTIFICATION PROGRAMS UNDER THE JOB TRAINING PARTNERSHIP ACT AND THE STATE WAGES BOARD.

APPROVED 2-2-99 MOTION to approve the contract. Motion by Commissioner McCarty and seconded by Commissioner Aaronson. Commissioner Roberts mentioned that initially she was prepared to request a rebid, but upon reading the submittal by the Sunshine Painting Company she now believed the County should accept the original bid. Her understanding was that the County had waived immaterial errors in the past, and that the Sunshine Painting Company's rounding off of 77 cents was not important enough to justify losing the bid. SUBSTITUTE MOTION to approve the original bid from the Sunshine Painting Company. Motion by Commissioner Roberts. MOTION DIED FOR LACK OF SECOND. SUBSTITUTE MOTION to rebid the entire contract. Motion by Commissioner Masilotti and seconded by Commissioner Roberts. Commissioner Aaronson supported the original motion to award the contract to Florida Guardrail, Inc., but voiced concern that the County's policy was too stringent. A savings of approximately $15,000 was missed due to the disqualification of the Sunshine Painting Company's bid. He suggested a workshop to discuss easing the policy restrictions. Commissioner McCarty stated the need for more discussion today before scheduling a workshop. County Administrator Weisman stated he had not seen the latest legal distribution from the Sunshine Painting Company but that he firmly believed the company had every chance to present their legal case at the hearing process. As there were no irregularities with the process, and the committee ruled unanimously against Sunshine, the staff recommendation to accept Florida Guardrail stands. Mr. Weisman mentioned that the bid document included cover sheets with specific language regarding rounding off. Sunshine Painting Company, did not meet the language and did, whether accidentally or not, drop numbers from their bid to fall below 10 percent, which is contradictory to Board policy. If the staff overly specified the Board's policy, the Board could waive the policy and call for a rebid. As Florida Guardrail did follow the correct procedures, Mr. Weisman's recommendation would be to approve their bid. Commissioner Masilotti protested the Board's policy as too rigid, referencing the 77-cent differential which created a $15,000 unnecessary expense to taxpayers. If, in fact, the Sunshine Painting Company's bid did misstate their intents to the Board by rounding off numbers, then the Board could call for a rebid to obtain a more competitive bid. (CLERK'S NOTE: The discussion on Item 6.C.1. was interrupted to take a multiconference telephone call from the White House. For continuation of Item 6.C.1., see Page 45.) UNSCHEDULED ITEM 2.C.1. ACCEPTANCE OF A FEDERALLY FUNDED TRICOUNTY MASS TRANSIT GRANT FOR $20 MILLION TO PROVIDE FOR IMPROVEMENTS TO THE TRICOUNTY COMMUTER RAILWAY. APPROVED 2-2-99 (CLERK'S NOTE: For earlier discussion of Item 2.C.1., see Page 5.) Commissioner Lee accepted a telephone call from the White House. A White House staff member introduced Vice-President Albert Gore, Jr., Secretary of Transportation Rodney Slatter, and Administrator Gordon Linton. Secretary of Transportation Rodney Slatter spoke first in congratulating all the cities chosen for their efforts in extending the ever-growing legacy of the Clinton-Gore Administration to promote livable communities through encouraging mass transit. He mentioned that these cities' projects rose to the top when the administration was looking for the best. He announced that the fiscal year 2000 budget would provide more than $6 Billion, the highest level in history, for transit. He thanked all the cities for their projects showing how transit was good, not only for mobility, but also for the environment, and the welfare to work initiative. These projects are prime examples of the Clinton-Gore Administration's philosophy that transit is about more than concrete, asphalt, and steel, but about people. Vice-President Albert Gore, Jr., welcomed all the mayors and elected officials. He continued by thanking them all for their support in assisting the administration with its goal to build more livable communities throughout the country where young and old can walk, bike, and play together. The administration wants not only to protect historic neighborhoods, but also to save farms, green space, and forests, which will add life and beauty to the newest of suburbs. The surest way to spend less time in traffic jams and more time with children, spouses, and friends is to expand public transportation in the right way. He expressed pride in the presentation of a series of grants to help cities and communities in their efforts to promote livable communities. After several presentations, Vice-President Gore moved onto South Florida. He welcomed Mayor Alex Penellas from Miami- Dade County, Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners' Chairperson Maude Ford Lee, and Broward County Board of County Commissioners' Chairperson Ilene Lieberman. Mr. Gore expressed his excitement in presenting a $20 Million grant to assist the Tricounty Commuter Rail Authority in making important improvements, such as; double tracking and station and signal improvements that would greatly increase the speed, safety and reliability along the corridor. He added that a record $336 Million in new transportation funding had been allocated to assist Florida in its efforts to ease traffic congestion and promote livable communities. Vice-President Gore concluded by congratulating all three counties. Commissioner Lee proclaimed on behalf of the Board of County Commissioners, as they sat in their meeting today, how delighted they were to hear about the new funding for this tremendous effort. She cited that more than 200,000 residents in this area would benefit from the new funds. She concluded that Palm Beach County was proud to participate in this tricounty effort and thanked Mr. Gore and the administration for their support. Vice-President Gore thanked all three counties. He noted that this was only the beginning, and that he looked forward to working with South Florida in the future. (CLERK'S NOTE: As the County's presentation was complete, the call was disconnected.) 2.C.1. - CONTINUED Commissioner Lee asked Commissioner Roberts, as the County's transportation guru, if she had any additional comments. Ms. Roberts noted that this funding would benefit not only TriRail and more than 10,000 low-income people, but all of South Florida as well. Ridership was expected to increase greatly upon the completion of these improvements. Commissioner Aaronson mentioned that increased ridership would lessen the impact on overcrowded roadways. Ms. Lee said she appreciated the tremendous efforts made toward this goal. This program will greatly enhance the service in the tricounty area. She asked Commissioner Roberts to keep the Board updated. 6.C.1. DOCUMENT R-99-179-D CONTRACT WITH FLORIDA GUARDRAIL, INC., FOR A NOT-TO-EXCEED AMOUNT OF $378,000 FOR THE ANNUAL GUARDRAIL CONTRACT, WHICH PROVIDES FOR THE INSTALLATION OR FURNISHING OF NEW GUARDRAIL AND/OR THE REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL AND/OR RESETTING OF EXISTING GUARDRAIL WITHIN THE COUNTY. APPROVED 2-2-99 (CLERK'S NOTE: For earlier discussion of Item 6.C.1. see Page 40.) Alex Espino representing the Sunshine Painting Company, asked that the County waive the 77-cent error and award the contract to the Sunshine Painting Company. She suggested that the costs surrounding the rebid process could be better used elsewhere. Commissioner Aaronson contended that intelligent business people should check carefully when submitting a bid. Lorri Goff in support of Florida Guardrail, pointed out that Florida Guardrail was a Palm Beach County business and that County money would be returned to the County. She summarized that Florida Guardrail had abided by the correct bid procedures and should be awarded the contract. Mindy Gentile, representative for Florida Guardrail, charged that the sanctity of the bidding process must be ensured. She insisted that the Sunshine Painting Company had deviated from the bid procedures and had not been responsive. Ms. Gentile noted that it was not proper to call for a rebid when there was no apparent patent or latent ambiguity found with the accepted bids. She implored the Commission to award the bid to Florida Guardrail. As bidding is done on a per unit price, Commissioner McCarty interjected that the $15,000 difference in the bottom line figure was not relevant. County Engineer Webb agreed. He stated that this was an annual contract and the scope of work varied due to job requirements. Ms. McCarty referenced a letter sent to her from the National Association of Women in Construction, wherein it stated that a bid process must follow stringent procedures and that flexibility could lead to legal issues. Mr. Aaronson acknowledged Ms. McCarty's position, but reiterated consideration for flexibility where large monetary amounts were concerned. Commissioner Lee, speaking as a member of the Minority/Women Business Enterprises (M/WBE) Advisory Committee, cautioned that deviations from procedure could be detrimental. She asked for the County Attorney's comments. Assistant County Attorney Tammy K. Fields affirmed that the parameters outlined within the M/WBE Ordinance needed to be followed without a variance. Commissioner Roberts asked for clarification of the bid process. She assumed the lowest bid was determined by the bottom line figure. Ms. Fields explained that each line item had a dollar amount and was only totaled to determine the lowest bid. The final amount might vary according to the scope of work needed throughout the contract. In the case of acceptance of a slightly higher bid, the department would have the flexibility to stay within the allotted budget. Commissioner Masilotti wanted to state, for the record, that he did not call for a rebid to get a lower price. He requested a substitute motion on the assumption that documents within the Sunshine Painting Company's bid had been misstated. UPON CALL FOR A VOTE, the substitute motion FAILED 2-5. Commissioners Aaronson, Lee, McCarty, Marcus and Newell opposed. UPON CALL FOR A VOTE, the motion to approve the contract carried 5-2. Commissioners Masilotti and Roberts opposed. RECESS At 12:05 p.m., the Chair declared a recess until 2:00 p.m. RECONVENE At 2:10 p.m., the Board reconvened with Commissioners Aaronson, Lee, McCarty, Newell and Roberts present. Commissioner Roberts introduced Robin Keninsburg, a Palm Beach High School senior who was monitoring the Board meeting for a school assignment. 8. MATTERS BY PUBLIC - 2:00 P.M. 8.A. ESTABLISHMENT OF A SOUTH COUNTY JURY POOL. DISCUSSED WITH DIRECTION 2-2-99 Bert Mehl, president of the Alliance of Delray Residential Associations, noted that the alliance first presented their request for a South County jury pool to facilitate jury duty for South County Residents at the September 2, 1997 County Commission Meeting. He thanked the Board for the progress made to date, but questioned the time frame for the final decision. (CLERK'S NOTE: Commissioner Marcus joined the meeting.) Frank E. Behrman, chair of the Alliance's Judicial and Criminal Justice Committee, recounted the issues supposedly under investigation for determination of a final decision on the formation of a South County jury pool. He inferred that the Board may be overburdened with issues delaying an expeditious answer on the jury pool. He indicated that his committee had assembled a list of prominent members from southern communities who were willing to compile the pertinent data to present for a final determination. His intention today was to obtain the Board's permission to proceed. Commissioner Aaronson supported the forming of a committee, but recommended input from the Board for selection of the committee members. Bill Schwartz, vice-president of the Progressive Residents of Delray Beach (PROD), stated that PROD was a large nonprofit, nonpolitical, civic organization concerned with community issues. Mr. Schwartz communicated PROD's support for the alliance in its efforts to establish a South County jury pool. Commissioner Marcus said it was her understanding that Chief Judge Walter N. Colbath, Jr. was making the final decision. (CLERK'S NOTE: Commissioner Masilotti joined the meeting.) Commissioner Aaronson responded that was not the case. It was a joint decision between the Chief Judge and the Board. As of his last discussion with Judge Colbath, Mr. Aaronson reported that the data was being compiled, but he believed Judge Colbath was not in favor of establishing a new jury pool. Ms. Marcus suggested having County Attorney Denise Dytrych and County Administrator Weisman communicate with Judge Colbath in writing to request a reasonable response time frame. Commissioner McCarty disagreed, stating the approval from the judges was a political issue. She suggested the Board move forward in forming a committee to research the facts. Mr. Aaronson mentioned that the majority of law firms were located in West Palm Beach making the trip to Delray Beach undesirable. He inquired whether Commissioner Lee would like him to continue his discussions with Judge Colbath on the issue. Commissioner Lee directed Mr. Aaronson to continue his discussions with Judge Colbath and formulate recommendations to agenda this item as soon as possible. Ms. McCarty recommended a time frame of 30 days to agenda this item. Mr. Behrman thanked the Board and said he would submit a letter of recommended committee members within a week. 8.B. TIME LIMIT POLICY ON PUBLIC DISCUSSION. DISCUSSED 2-2-99 Ed McJobian disputed the three-minute time per person limit on public discussion contesting it was too short to discuss several items. He inquired as to the omission of the matters by the public agenda item at the January 1999, meeting. Commissioner McCarty responded that the item was deleted because of the lack of a quorum of Commissioners present. Mr. McJobian questioned the reason the item was not rescheduled. Commissioner Roberts informed Mr. McJobian that many counties did not have a public portion in their meetings. 8.C. POLICY FOR ALLOCATING FURNITURE TO COMMISSIONERS. DISCUSSED 2-2-99 Ed McJobian questioned the Board's denial of Commissioner Masilotti's request for furniture for his western office. Commissioner Marcus reminded Mr. McJobian of his three-minute time limit and suggested he discuss public matters rather than interrogate the Board. 8.D. DEFAULT ON THE COUNTY LOAN TO THE WEST PALM BEACH REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY TO SUPPORT THE RELOCATION AND RENOVATION OF THE BURT REYNOLDS INSTITUTE FOR THEATRE TRAINING (BRITT). DISCUSSED 2-2-99 Ed McJobian asked why the Board lent $500,000 of taxpayers' money to relocate and renovate the BRITT in downtown West Palm Beach without requiring collateral. Ms. McCarty responded that the Board would respond to his issueS in writing. 8.E. LITIGATION AGAINST BELLSOUTH TELECOMMUNICATIONS TO REMOVE THEIR CELLULAR TRANSMISSION TOWER LOCATED IN BOCA RATON. DISCUSSED 2-2-99 Ed McJobian argued against spending taxpayers' money on a lawsuit against BellSouth to remove a communication tower located in Boca Raton. 8.F. INCREASE IN ADULT ENTERTAINMENT ESTABLISHMENTS. DISCUSSED 2-2-99 Ed McJobian spoke out against the increase in adult entertainment establishments in the County, arguing that such establishments encouraged prostitution and sexually transmitted diseases. He asked to submit a packet of copied County files concerning arrests at adult entertainment establishments. MOTION to receive the files. Motion by Commissioner McCarty. MOTION DIED FOR LACK OF SECOND. Commissioner Marcus informed Mr. McJobian that since the files were public record, there was no need to submit them. 8.G. PUBLIC WATER-SKIING FACILITIES. DISCUSSED WITH DIRECTION 2-2-99 Al Testani, representing the Gold Coast Ski Club, presented a brief history of his communications over the past eight years with the Board and the Department of Parks and Recreation in an effort to provide more public water-skiing facilities. He asked the Board to limit the commercial use of public lakes and provide more time for public accessibility. County Administrator Weisman suggested the Board hear recommendations from Parks and Recreation Director Dennis Eshleman in determining the need to agenda the item. Commissioner Masilotti recommended delaying any discussion until the item was put on the agenda. ITEMS PULLED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA 2:15 P.M. TIME CERTAIN ITEMS 3.I.7. AND 3.I.8. (CLERK'S NOTE: Items 3.I.7. and 3.I.8. were considered together. For earlier discussion see Page 30.) 3.I.7. DOCUMENT R-99-180-D HOME RENTAL REHABILITATION LOAN TO PINE RIDGE APARTMENTS JOINT VENTURE FOR $370,000 TO PROVIDE FOR THE ACQUISITION AND REHABILITATION OF A MULTIFAMILY RENTAL PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1401 DIVISION AVENUE IN WEST PALM BEACH. APPROVED 2-2-99 3.I.8. DOCUMENT R-99-181-D HOME RENTAL REHABILITATION LOAN TO HOPE HOUSE OF THE PALM BEACHES, INC., FOR $270,000 TO PROVIDE FOR THE ACQUISITION AND REHABILITATION OF A MULTIFAMILY RENTAL PROPERTY LOCATED AT 427 21ST STREET IN WEST PALM BEACH. APPROVED 2-2-99 MOTION to approve the loans. Motion by Commissioner McCarty and seconded by Commissioner Marcus. Commissioner Roberts recalled pulling these items at an earlier meeting. She questioned why they were back on the agenda in the same format, as her concerns relating to the high cost of these projects had not been addressed. She acknowledged that the program was very good, but she opposed the large amount of public money being allocated to these two projects. Commissioner Newell asked for clarification of the loan terms. Housing and Community Development Director Remar M. Harvin explained that the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development provided low-interest loans to distressed communities at a rate of 3 percent interest for a 15-year period with a one-year deferment. Although a small percentage of loans defaulted, the public was generally well served by this program, he said. Commissioner Lee mentioned the project most dear to her constituents was the old Pine Ridge Hospital. Boarded up for 20 years, it now had a historic designation and plans for a national designation. After four years of trying to obtain funding, community residents were delighted to have this important historic monument restored. Commissioner Aaronson inquired as to the administrative costs involved in the restoration. Mr. Harvin estimated a 12 percent cost for administration. Assistant County Attorney Fields identified BEDR-Pine Ridge, Inc., and Complete Property Development Corporation, as partners in the joint venture for the Pine Ridge restoration project, and Hope House of the Palm Beaches, Inc., for the 2lst Street restoration project. Commissioners Aaronson and Marcus voiced concern as to the guaranteed payment of outstanding loans. Mr. Harvin noted that as the program was less than two years old, exact numbers for loans in default were not available. He commented that there was not an overabundance of developers willing to work on these types of projects, but that the projects acceded to the County's Eastward Ho! movement to revitalize distressed areas. Joseph F. Crossen, president of Complete Property Development Corporation, mentioned the Harris Music Building located in downtown West Palm Beach as his first project. He explained that restorations of these types were only possible with the help of tax credits and low-interest loans. To access these avenues requires the following of strict guidelines. The Davis-Bacon Act, set forth by the federal government, calls for total renovation, efficient paperwork, and administrative direction. Although costly, these buildings are rebuilt to last. Mr. Crossen also mentioned Ballet Villages, located on the north border of CityPlace, as another one of his successful restoration projects. Commissioner Masilotti acknowledged the restoration of distressed areas was costly, but suggested the benefits to the community far outweighed the costs. He suggested the Board move forward with its approval. UPON CALL FOR A VOTE, the motion carried 6-1. Commissioner Roberts opposed. 6.C.2. a. DOCUMENT R-99-182-D CONTRACT WITH UNDERGROUND INDUSTRIES, INC., FOR $750,000 FOR CONSTRUCTION OF THE HIGHLAND PINES SUBDIVISION DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS LOCATED AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF NORTHLAKE BOULEVARD AND MILITARY TRAIL.

APPROVED 2-2-99 MOTION to approve the contract and budget transfer. Motion by Commissioner Marcus and seconded by Commissioner Aaronson. County Engineer Webb informed the Board that staff now recommended approval of the item contingent upon a change to the contract. He invited Assistant County Attorney Marlene R. Everitt to explain. Ms. Everitt said that the scope of work had been changed to reflect a reduced budget allocation of $750,000. What was before the Board was the full scope of work, she said, for which the contractor had bid over $1 Million. AMENDED MOTION to approve the contract contingent upon reduction of the scope of work to be supplied to this contract. The maker and seconder agreed. Upon call for a vote, the motion carried 7-0. 6.C.3.

STAFF REQUEST FOR CLARIFICATION OF MARCH 23, 1999, WORKSHOP SCHEDULE. DISCUSSED 2-2-99 County Administrator Weisman requested clarification of the Board's direction for the rescheduling of items on the March 23, 1999, workshop agenda. After a brief discussion by the Board, specific direction was given to move the alternative funding sources for major events and the equine industry results of the Equestrian Economic Summit to April 27, 1999, and to move the 2:00 p.m. infrastructure funding item to the morning of the March 23 workshop. No backup provided. c. OUTCOME OF THE COMPUTER TASK GROUP CONTRACT DISPUTE.

Mr. Weisman congratulated County Attorneys Denise Dytrych and James C. Mize, Jr. for their diligence on behalf of the County. A financial verdict for total repayment on the contract plus fees and penalties was expected within the next six to eight weeks. 9.B. COUNTY ATTORNEY 9.B.1. OUTCOME OF THE COMPUTER TASK GROUP CONTRACT DISPUTE. DISCUSSED 2-2-99 County Attorney Dytrych commended all the County employees who were involved in the Computer Task Group dispute for their excellent teamwork. She stated that this case was a great example of Administration and County Attorneys working together for the success of the County. 10. COMMISSIONER COMMENTS 10.A. COMMISSIONER TONY MASILOTTI 10.A.1. PREPARATION OF A RESOLUTION TO SUPPORT A HANDS ON DRIVERS PILOT PROGRAM. APPROVED WITH DIRECTION 2-2-99 Commissioner Masilotti explained that currently the County did not have a Hands on Drivers program within its schools. The state has agreed to use Palm Beach County as a pilot area for the development of a Hands on Drivers program. He distributed a letter from the Justin Marksz Memorial Foundation, Inc., addressed to Sheriff Robert Neumann, proposing a partnership between the foundation, the Sheriff's Office, and the County in developing a pilot program. In an effort to provide a safe area for inexperienced drivers to practice tactical driving skills, Sheriff Neumann has offered the use of the training track operated by the Sheriff's Office. Mr. Masilotti proposed drafting a resolution to show the Board's support for the Hands on Drivers pilot program and the use of the track. MOTION to prepare a resolution in support of a Hands on Drivers pilot program. Motion by Commissioner Masilotti and seconded by Commissioner Roberts. Commissioner McCarty said it was her understanding that the Sheriff had agreed to the proposal. Commissioner Masilotti said that it was his understanding also. AMENDED MOTION to ask Sheriff Neumann to provide written confirmation of his agreement. The maker agreed. (CLERK'S NOTE: There is no audible record of the seconder agreeing to the amended motion.) Commissioner Aaronson mentioned that the Marksz Foundation was seeking donations of used cars for the program. He suggested the possibility of Fleet Management repairing older County cars for use at the various schools. County Administrator Weisman voiced concern that it may not be economical to maintain older County cars scheduled for disposal, but he would explore the possibility. Commissioner Marcus worried about teaching young drivers how to do skids. Commissioner McCarty said the program would teach drivers how to handle and control skids. UPON CALL FOR A VOTE, the motion carried 7-0. 10.B. COMMISSIONER CAROL A. ROBERTS 10.B.1. ROAD CLEANUP IN THE JUPITER FARMS AREA. DISCUSSED 2-2-99 Commissioner Roberts referenced a letter sent to her by Mr. Harvey Phillips requesting the cleanup of roads in the Jupiter Farms area. She asked if Mr. Phillips's letter had been addressed. Commissioner Marcus responded that the Solid Waste Authority was currently working with the Jupiter Farms area to clean up the roads. She suggested that the bigger question would be whether the County wanted to increase its maintenance budget for road and bridge? Ms. Roberts inquired as to the funds available in the budget. County Administrator Weisman noted that, in conjunction with local residents, the County had been very successful in the Jupiter area with cleaning up area roads. He voiced concern that if the budget was supplemented residents' participation may decrease. No backup provided. 10.C. COMMISSIONER WARREN H. NEWELL 10.C.1. THE RENAMING OF THE PROPOSED LIGHT HARBOR MARINA TO THE DICK MOROSO WATERWAY PARK. DISCUSSED WITH DIRECTION 2-2-99 Commissioner Newell presented a brief history of the Moroso Motorsports Park and the contributions by Dick Moroso and his family to the tourist industry in the County. He requested that the Board approve the renaming of the proposed Light Harbor Marina in Riviera Beach to the Dick Moroso Waterway Park. Upon the death of Mr. Moroso last year, a committee was formed to explore ways to honor him and his family. The memorial committee suggested naming the Marina in honor of Mr. Moroso, as he was a long-time resident of Riviera Beach. Commissioner Aaronson questioned the Board's policy for the naming of County parks. Upon receiving procedural direction from Mr. Weisman, Mr. Newell said he was under the impression that the only requirement was to present the item for discussion, whereby a decision could be made. He mentioned that Mr. Moroso had been a major factor in putting Palm Beach County on the map and increasing the tourist industry. It would be a shame not to honor Mr. Moroso and his family. Commissioner Roberts agreed that Mr. Moroso had made tremendous contributions to promote the tourist industry in the County. She suggested researching other counties to define criteria. Commissioner Marcus asked for clarification of the County's policy for naming facilities. In response, County Administrator Weisman stated that currently the policy is to dedicate, not name, facilities after deserving people. Ms. Marcus suggested dedicating the Light Harbor Marina to Mr. Moroso. Mr. Newell said he would prefer to name the marina for Mr. Moroso. MOTION to rename the proposed Light Harbor Marina to the Dick Moroso Waterway Park. Motion by Commissioner Newell and seconded by Commissioner Masilotti. Mr. Weisman apprised the Board of their option to waive the policy. To allow time for policy review, Ms. Marcus suggested putting the item on the Agenda for the next Board meeting. No backup provided. AMENDED MOTION to schedule the proposal for the February 23, 1999, Meeting. The maker and seconder agreed. Upon call for a vote, the motion carried 7-0. 10.C.2. BOATER'S GUIDE TO LAKE WORTH LAGOON PAMPHLET. DISCUSSED 2-2-99 Commissioner Newell announced the completion of the Boater's Guide to Lake Worth Lagoon pamphlet. The pamphlet provides information on the locations of marinas, boat ramps, artificial reefs, manatee zones, and a brief history of Peanut Island among other reference items. This educational material has also been formatted on video and CD-ROM to facilitate use by County schools. Pamphlets will be available at the Lake Worth Lagoon's Sea Fest and the Visitors Center. 10.D. COMMISSIONER MAUDE FORD LEE 10.D.1. PROCLAMATION DECLARING FEBRUARY 20, 1999, AS BLACK AWARENESS DAY. APPROVED 2-2-99 MOTION to approve the proclamation. Motion by Commissioner Roberts on behalf of Commissioner Lee, seconded by Commissioner Marcus and carried 7-0. 10.E. COMMISSIONER KAREN T. MARCUS 10.E.1. REVISION 7 CAMPAIGN. DISCUSSED 2-2-99 Commissioner Marcus asked Board members to personally contact their legislators to answer any questions they may have concerning the County's Revision 7 campaign, and to personally thank them for their support on the County's behalf. No backup provided. (CLERK'S NOTE: Number R-99-188 was voided.) 10.E.2. RESOLUTION R-99-189 RESOLUTION REQUESTING AND URGING THE U.S. ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS AND THE SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT TO RESPECTIVELY MODIFY THE EXISTING S-44 WATER CONTROL STRUCTURE AND INSTALL A THIRD CONTROL GATE ON THE C-17 CANAL LOCATED EAST OF ALTERNATE A1A IN NORTH PALM BEACH, TO CONTROL STORM AND FLOOD WATERS GENERATED FROM THE SURROUNDING AREAS. ADOPTED 2-2-99 MOTION to adopt the resolution. Motion by Commissioner Marcus, seconded by Commissioner Roberts and carried 7-0. 10.E.3. STAFFING FOR EXISTING FIRE STATIONS. DISCUSSED WITH DIRECTION 2-2-99 Commissioner Marcus voiced concern about staffing levels at existing fire stations. Adequate staffing at existing stations should take precedence over the opening of new stations. Also reports for actual response times should be received on a weekly basis, rather than the yearly reports currently provided. Ms. Marcus requested a workshop be scheduled for this item as soon as possible. Commissioner Masilotti agreed with Ms. Marcus. County Administrator Weisman suggested April 27, 1999, as the March 23, 1999, workshop was full. After an informal discussion among the Board members, it was concluded to do a separate workshop on Monday, March 22, 1999. Mr. Masilotti suggested moving all the items scheduled for the March 23, 1999 workshop to Monday, March 22, 1999, to alleviate the need for two workshops. Commissioner McCarty proposed inviting the union members to the workshop for their input on developing a staffing policy. She asked the Board to direct staff to invite the union members to the March 22, 1999, workshop. Mr. Weisman said he would advertise the meeting for Monday, March 22, 1999. He noted the format for the Agenda would depend on the availability of the union members. No backup provided. 10.F. COMMISSIONER BURT AARONSON - None 10.G. COMMISSIONER MARY MCCARTY - None 11.
