R-94-1758) ADOPTED 2-1-2000
MOTION to adopt the resolution. Motion by Commissioner Roberts and seconded by
Commissioner Masilotti.
PUBLIC COMMENT:
Stanley Voice said the resolution would severely restrict the public's
opportunity to comment on important issues. He pointed out that the 10 meetings
per year were held once a month. To restrict the public to three minutes when
there might be multiple issues to discuss was unfair, he continued.
Mr. Voice said the regulation would also prohibit disabled and senior citizens who
rely on public transportation from submitting comment cards once the meetings
start, since public transit was often late. He asked the Board to deny the
resolution.
Commissioner Masilotti pointed out that the resolution allows the Chair the
discretion to adjust speaking-time limits as deemed appropriate and necessary.
Ed McJobian echoed Mr. Voice's comments and added that adopting the resolution
would be a form of government censorship.
UPON CALL FOR A VOTE, the motion carried 5-0. Commissioners Lee and Marcus
absent.

5.D.1. PRELIMINARY READING AND ADVERTISE FOR PUBLIC HEARING ON FEBRUARY 15, 2000, AT 9:30
A.M., AN ORDINANCE AMENDING COUNTY CODE CHAPTER 17, ARTICLE VIII TO BE KNOWN AS
THE PALM BEACH COUNTY MOVING ORDINANCE WHICH WILL REQUIRE ALL MOVING COMPANIES
SERVICING RESIDENTS AND ADVERTISING/SOLICITING IN THE COUNTY TO OBTAIN AN
OPERATING PERMIT FROM CONSUMER AFFAIRS. APPROVED AS AMENDED 2-1-2000
Commissioner Roberts thanked members of the task force who worked with staff in
formulating the ordinance. She said the Attorney General's office was supportive
of the ordinance and that Hillsboro County was anticipating the adoption of a
similar ordinance.
MOTION to approve the ordinance on preliminary reading and to advertise for public
hearing on February 15, 2000, at 9:30 a.m. Motion by Commissioner Masilotti and
seconded by Commissioner Roberts.
Commissioner Newell thanked Commissioner Roberts for her work in support of the
ordinance.
Dennis Moore, Director of Consumer Affairs, showed a video recording of a report
Channel 4 compiled regarding moving in the County.
Mr. Moore gave a synopsis of the ordinance as follows:
The ordinance requires a licensing process for all movers who advertise or
work in the County.
The name of the company must be displayed on the moving vehicle.
The company's address and County's permit number must be displayed on the
vehicle.
County decals must be affixed to all moving vehicles for each moving company.
The decals will be updated annually.
All advertisement and signage must include the County's permit number and a
physical address.
Rental vehicles, obtained by the moving company, should also display signage and
decals.
Insurance requirements have been increased.
All movers must provide a detailed written estimate of cost. Movers are
prohibited from exceeding the estimated cost by more than 10 percent.
All movers must provide a detailed written contract to be signed by the consumer
before and after the move.
Mr. Moore informed the Board that enforcement would be done through civil fines.
He said the licensing fees would provide for a compliance officer and a part-time
secretary.
Commissioner Aaronson said the ordinance should state the reasons for the 10
percent increase. Mr. Moore explained that it would be difficult to determine all
the reasons for the increase but one purpose of the ordinance was to encourage
communication between the mover and the consumer. Commissioner Roberts added that
disputes could be filed through the Consumer Affairs office and that the
consumer's belongings could not be held hostage.
Mr. Moore said the task force did not foresee the need for identification badges.
He said if problems should arise, changes to the ordinance would be requested by
staff.
Mark Arnoff, chair of the Florida Movers and Warehousing Association, said his
association felt the need for control in its business. He recommended that the
state adopt a unified ordinance for all counties. He said the 10 percent blanket
charge was in place to protect the customer and the mover and it would be agreed
to by both parties.
Commissioner Masilotti thanked the news media for contributing to public awareness
and thanked Commissioner Roberts for her participation on behalf of the residents.
In response to Commissioner Masilotti, Assistant County Administrator Vince
Bonvento said that staff would clarify the ordinance regarding license revocation
for multiple infractions.
Dave Aaronburg, assistant attorney general for the Economic Crimes Unit,
congratulated the Board for putting forth the ordinance. He said it was a model
for the state.
Commissioner Roberts said she had volunteered to work with all involved parties in
an attempt to have the issue addressed on a statewide basis.
UPON CALL FOR A VOTE, the motion carried 5-0. Commissioners Lee and Marcus
absent.
TIME CERTAIN - 10:20 A.M.
5.D.2. DISCUSSION WITH FLORIDA POWER & LIGHT COMPANY REGIONAL MANAGER ROD MACON REGARDING
HURRICANE RESPONSE. MR. MACON PROVIDED WRITTEN RESPONSES REGARDING TREE
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE RESTORATION TO THE GLADES. DISCUSSED 2-1-2000
Rod Macon said Hurricane Irene was a difficult period for Florida Power & Light
Company. He apologized for the hardship and inconveniences with which the
customers were faced. He stated that damages ranged from Miami to St. Augustine
and 1.7 million customers lost power, about 300,000 users more than were affected
by Hurricane Andrew. Although FP&L's response was good, there were still
shortcomings but the company is learning from each incident, he added.
Mr. Macon said the Trouble Call Management System that manages the recovery
process could be improved by increasing the volume of data and the speed at which
it is handled. He shared with the Board that the Saturday following Hurricane
Irene, the company received over 50,000 calls at certain periods, more than it
normally receives within a busy 24-hour day at other times of the year. The
company now was working on a communication strategy, he continued.
Mr. Macon informed the Board that the removal of trees from power lines was not a
factor in the cleanup efforts in the County and that the response time in the
western communities was comparable to that in the coastal communities. Mr. Macon
shared that service unavailability was the corporate indicator for the average
time customers are without electricity. The country averaged 137 minutes in 1999
but Palm Beach County's rating was 61.6 minutes in that same year, he added. He
said it was the lowest rating in County history.
Commissioner Masilotti asked for ways to help the County minimize future damage to
trees along the roadway. Mr. Macon said the County adopted the "Right Tree-Right
Place" program in its standards, and he had hoped all cities would do likewise.
Mr. Macon said although the Glades was so sparsely populated, FP&L and the County
Emergency Operations Center tried to attend to the needs of all customers,
including those in the Glades area.
Commissioner Aaronson thanked Mr. Macon for his company's willingness to work with
the County in determining appropriate sites for new stations so as to impact
residential areas as little as possible.
Commissioner Newell inquired if FP&L would do an advertising program prior to
hurricane season that would encourage residents to call and report line
maintenance issues. Mr. Macon said FP&L communicates to its customers through
bill inserts and through its website about hurricane preparedness. Assistant
County Administrator Vince Bonvento said the information could be incorporated
into the County's hurricane guide. Commissioner Newell suggested utility mailers
be used as well.

5.F.1.a. RECEIVE AND FILE ASSESSMENT OF SPECTRAN SERVICES AND ORGANIZATION PHASE II REPORT-SERVICE PROVIDER REVIEW. APPROVED 2-1-2000
b. CONTINUE WITH INTELLITRAN, AKA ATC, THE MANAGEMENT COMPANY FOR SPECTRAN, SUBJECT
TO CONTINUED CONTRACT PERFORMANCE. APPROVED AS AMENDED 2-1-2000
c. MONITOR CORRECTIVE ACTIONS BY THE SPECTRAN SERVICE PROVIDERS AND TAKE APPROPRIATE
ACTIONS AS NECESSARY. APPROVED 2-1-2000
Palm Tran Executive Director Perry Maull gave the 90-day progress report on
SpecTran services. He said progress had been made but much work remained to be
done to improve services. Staff was in receipt of Roy Glauthier's Phase II
Report, which focused on SpecTran transportation providers, he continued. The
report addressed vehicles, facilities, staffing, training, and operating
procedures of each provider. As a result of the report, staff forwarded a letter
of non-compliance to each provider and the providers had in turn, forwarded plans
on how to achieve the goal of compliance. Staff met with the providers and will
provide each with a detailed review letter. Mr. Maull requested a 90-day
evaluation period, beginning January 12, 2000, to attempt to work with each
provider and to take corrective action as recommended in the Phase II Report. He
recommended that ATC Vancom Management Services Limited Partnership (ATC) remain
as the management company for SpecTran.
PUBLIC COMMENTS:
The following speakers supported staff's recommendations: Michael Addesso,
representing the Disabled American Veterans of Boca Raton; Patti Hall; Carole
Mayer; Sharon Parker, representing the Visually Impaired Group at the Senior
Center and The Jewish Family Service Program for the Visually Impaired and Blind;
and Estelle Pennamacoor.
Ellen Brown, of Alzheimer's Community Care Association; Veronica Brown who read a
petition signed by several individuals; Marcia Keisler; and Jay Naiman agreed
that:
- The services needed to be changed.
- A system like Broward County would better serve patrons.
Kathy Berry, John Brodrick; the Reverend Walter Evans; Carolyn Lapp, vice-president of the National Federation of the Blind; Mike Nagelberg; Randi Rabiner;
Rick Troiano; Bobbi Valentine, and Randy Young, hearing officer for Broward
County Mass Transit said the services should be turned over to the providers. Mr.
Troiano also questioned the training process for drivers.
Ed McJobian and Allen Preston pointed out violations in the contract. Kelly Voice
also outlined uncorrected deficiencies from the November 9, 1999 report.
Barbara Scheffer, a Palm Beach Community College professor, complained about the
pickup service for students. She suggested County service staff be allowed to run
the system for a period and that each Commissioner routinely rotate and attend the
Consumer Advisory Committee Board meetings and listen to complaints on a monthly
basis.
Stan Voice asked the Board to clear up the program to eliminate the complaints,
while Commissioner Newell read Fern Laskin's comments.
Shelly Gottsagen, director of the Coalition for Independent Living Options,
recommended ATC be put on formal notice of default. She suggested development of
a strategic plan to include people with disabilities, transportation users,
advocates, and Palm Tran to formulate a service plan to suit the needs of the
community. She said Palm Beach County needs a 24-hour a day, seven-day-a-week
transportation system. Genevieve Cousminer, chair of the Palm Tran Citizens
Advisory Board, and Dennis Mortin concurred.
Fred Eisinger of Seagull Industries said he was willing and able to provide
transportation to all of the mentally retarded adults who attend his program. In
response to Commissioner Aaronson, Mr. Eisinger said scheduling seems to be the
problem.
Commissioner McCarty suggested the schedulers subcontract with the providers, who
could be held accountable.
In response to Commissioner Masilotti, Mr. Maull stated that ATC previously was
put on notice. Assistant County Attorney Donna Raney informed the Board the
contract requires the County to give ATC notice and allow 10 days to correct the
problems. She pointed out that ATC was not formally notified of the problems.
Commissioner Masilotti suggested County employees take over the responsibilities.
Mr. Maull said if the County were to terminate ATC, every subcontractor would have
to be terminated. He stated the County had a five-year contract and was
attempting to make things work. He said the Broward system took a year to get
started.
Mr. Maull said although data showed complaints decreased, the 90 percent reduction
within 90 days had not been met. Commissioner Masilotti said he would not support
ATC if it had not improved.
Commissioner Aaronson commented on the service given the residents. He said he
was willing to allow ATC 60 days to comply. He advised staff to be prepared to
operate the system and get bids from providers who are willing to assume the
duties.
Commissioner Newell reminded staff of public comments concerning driver
qualifications, accuracy of reports, and travel time constraints.
MOTION to approve staff recommendations 5.F.1.a. and b. and to direct staff to
monitor corrective actions by the contract transportation providers for 60 days,
to consider provider replacement or supplementation, to be prepared to take over
scheduling at the end of the 60-day period, if necessary, and to report back to
the Board. Motion by Commissioner Aaronson and seconded by Commissioner McCarty.
Commissioner McCarty said 90 days was more realistic if the Board was looking at a
transition. Commissioner Aaronson pointed out that staff was directed at the last
meeting to begin looking at options.
Commissioner Roberts said the County was not currently in a position to take over
the service. In response to Commissioner Roberts, Mr. Maull said complaint calls
would be received by County staff. Inspections of vehicles and the on-time
performance would be monitored by staff also, he pointed out. He said a field
inspector would make sure the contract was honored. Commissioner Roberts said she
would like staff to come back with financial details and if the provider would
have to be in compliance.
Assistant County Administrator Vince Bonvento said staff could submit
recommendations at the February 15, 2000, meeting. County Administrator Weisman
said the services were privatized because staff felt that other companies with
similar expertise would perform better than ATC. He said ATC demonstrated an
effort to improve the system. He suggested if the Board terminates Intellitran, it
terminate the providers also because sabotage would become a possibility.
Commissioner Aaronson asked staff to bring back contingency plans. Staff concurred
with Commissioner McCarty that 90 days would be adequate to review the
improvements.
SECOND TO MOTION WITHDRAWN.
MOTION DIED FOR LACK OF SECOND.
MOTION to approve staff recommendations 5.F.1.a. and b. and to direct staff to
monitor corrective actions by the contract transportation providers for 90 days to
consider provider replacement or supplementation, to be prepared to take over
scheduling at the end of the 90-day period, if necessary, and to report back to
the Board. Motion by Commissioner McCarty and seconded by Commissioner Roberts.
Commissioner Roberts requested a report by February 15, 2000.
SUBSTITUTE MOTION to give Intellitran and all contract providers 10 days to cure
and, if the problems are not cured within 10 days, to give notice of contract
cancellation. Motion by Commissioner Newell and seconded by Commissioner
Masilotti.
Commissioner Aaronson pointed out that if the motion passed, the service to the
public would worsen even further.
UPON CALL FOR A VOTE, the motion FAILED 2-3. Commissioners Aaronson, McCarty,
and Roberts opposed.

She encouraged the Board's lobbying support through personal appearances at the
Capitol.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
Ed McJobian asked why attempts were not made to get more funding for AIDS
education in the County. Commissioner Newell stated that the County receives Ryan
White funds and County Administrator Weisman added that $7 million were received
recently for that purpose.
Stanley Voice stated that to address five issues in one minute was unfair. He
commended the Board for applying for $7.7 million to replace 28 Palm Tran buses.
He suggested ad valorem taxes be used to support the bus system. In addressing
the non-compliance issue of lawsuit against small businesses, Mr. Voice stated
that the businesses had 10 years to comply with the Americans with Disabilities
Act (ADA). Mr. Voice pointed out that only $4 million a year was currently being
spent for ADA para-transit services contrary to $6 million mentioned earlier by
Assistant County Administrator Vince Bonvento. He commended the County on its
effort to secure half a million dollars on the WAGES Program. However, he thought
the program should also be for others in the County as well who could not get jobs
because of the lack of transportation.
Commissioner McCarty asked Mr. Weisman for a memo from Mr. Bonvento explaining the
$6 Million amount.
In response to Commissioner Masilotti, Ms. Hansen said the priorities were
realistic but she cautioned the Board that all the goals would not be reached this
year. She said although the whole delegation was supporting the Everglades
Restudy, it would be necessary to identify County projects in relation to the
Restudy. She stated that focus also needed to be put on those issues that could
be treated as line item appropriations. She said all priorities should be
identified by mid-March.
Commissioner Aaronson asked Ms. Hanson to confirm the scheduling of a meeting with
George Frampton to discuss the funding of farmland acquisitions.
Commissioner Roberts said the priorities should be relabeled since there were
issues that did not involve funding but that nevertheless deserves high
priorities. Johnson Seagrass and the Perimete Rule were two, she said. Ms.
Hansen suggested the list be broken into policies and appropriations.
Ms. Hanson informed Commissioner Masilotti that the whole delegation was
monitoring the Agriculture Bill relating to crop insurance for year-round harvest
in South Florida.

WAY. APPROVED AS AMENDED (REGISTRATION FOR RIGHT-OF-WAYS) 2-1-2000
MOTION to approve the ordinance on preliminary reading and to advertise for public
hearing on February 15, 2000 AT 9:30 A.M. Motion by Commissioner Roberts,
seconded by Commissioner McCarty.
PUBLIC COMMENTS:
Sid Poe, a representative of Bell South Telecommunications, said regulatory
provisions in the ordinance violate federal and state laws and encroach on the
jurisdiction of the Public Service Commission and Federal Communications
Commission. He said Broward County enacted a similar ordinance and Bell South
filed suit against Broward County in 1999. He recommended the Board postpone
moving forward on this issue until the Broward litigation was resolved, and which
would allow staff time to work with the industry on mutually acceptable revisions.
He suggested the title be modified to change "license and license agreement" to
"registration."
Bell South Telecommunications Attorney Sharon Leibman said the provisions of the
ordinance exceed the reasonable rules and regulations governing rights-of-way as
allowed by Florida Law.
Assistant County Attorney Leonard Berger said County staff had been working with
Bell South's representatives to make the ordinance less onerous from a regulatory
standpoint. He said staff had concerns that having the ordinance on the books
would affect legislation in Tallahassee involving the Telecommunications
Simplified Tax. He informed the Board that staff and Bell South attorneys had
revised the title of the ordinance to make it more mutually agreeable for
adoption.
AMENDED MOTION to amend the ordinance title as suggested by Mr. Berger. Motion by
Commissioner Masilotti and seconded by Commissioner Roberts.
Mr. Berger read the revised title as follows:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA[;]
PROVIDING FOR SHORT TITLE; PROVIDING FOR PURPOSE; PROVIDING FOR DEFINITIONS;
PROVIDING FOR LICENSE AGREEMENT REQUIRED FOR USE OF RIGHT-OF-WAY; PROVIDING FOR
NATURE OF LICENSE AGREEMENT; PROVIDING FOR APPLICATION AND ISSUANCE OF LICENSE
AGREEMENT; PROVIDING FOR NONTRANSFERABILITY; PROVIDING FOR REGISTRATION FOR USE OF
RIGHT-OF-WAY; PROVIDING FOR NATURE OF REGISTRATION; PROVIDING FOR EFFECTIVENESS OF
REGISTRATION; PROVIDING FOR TRANSFER OF REGISTRATION; PROVIDING FOR EXISTING
TELECOMMUNICATIONS FACILITIES IN RIGHT-OF-WAY; PROVIDING FOR REVOCATION OF LICENSE
AGREEMENT; PROVIDING FOR SUSPENSION OF PERMITS; PROVIDING FOR APPEALS; PROVIDING
FOR COMPENSATION FEES TO COUNTY; PROVIDING FOR CONSTRUCTION IN THE RIGHT-OF-WAY;
PROVIDING FOR INSURANCE AND INDEMNIFICATION; PROVIDING FOR PENALTIES AND
VIOLATION; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; PROVIDING FOR INCLUSION IN THE CODE OF LAWS
AND ORDINANCES; PROVIDING FOR EFFECTIVE DATE.
Mr. Berger stated that the ordinance allows 90 days for any action to be
completed.
UPON CALL FOR A VOTE, the motion carried 5-0. Commissioners Lee and Marcus
absent.
Ms. Leibman requested the Board to consider including language in the ordinance to
state that the effective date of the fee-related provisions not commence until
final ruling in the Broward County litigation. The Board opposed the request.

intersection and another had occurred a couple years ago.
Commissioner Roberts suggested the issue be submitted for a regular Agenda item.
She said Board policy requires issues be put on the regular Agenda whenever a cost
is involved.

she would like the Board to set a policy that if other flashers meet that policy,
they too would be converted to fully operational signals. Other Board members
concurred.

7. MATTERS BY THE PUBLIC
7.A. MARCH 7, 2000, MATTERS BY THE PUBLIC RESCHEDULED TO MARCH 21, 2000, AT 2:00 P.M.
DISCUSSED 2-1-2000
Commissioner Newell announced that the Matters By The Public previously set for
March 7, 2000 at 2:00 p.m. was rescheduled to March 21, 2000, at 2:00 p.m.
7.B. SPECTRAN. DISCUSSED 2-1-2000
Bobbi Valentine commented that she supports Commissioner Aaronson's earlier
statement to manage the surface transportation inhouse, although it would take
time to develop. She inquired if the Board read any of the correspondence the
Palm Tran Citizen Advisory Board (PTAAB) supplied. She commented that the Board
had hired the Center for Urban Transportation Research (CUTR), which made the same
recommendations PTAAB had been making.
Ms. Valentine said Ambulette and RC Services did excellent jobs and that it was
the personal preference of the driver to determine the kind of service being
provided. She urged the Board to listen to the recommendations of its advisory
boards because the PTAAB was vital to the Board's decision making.
Commissioner Newell pointed out that PTAAB provided good information. The
difficulty was in the way it was disseminated. He said many advisory boards were
only as good as the communication they provided to the Board as individual
members.
Ms. Valentine even though said she no longer sits on the PTAAB because a County
policy allows members to be removed at the convenience of the Board, she attends
all the meetings. She said she was a frequent rider and had a good perspective on
the issues. She said she will be satisfied when the Board finds a permanent
funding source for surface transportation.
Commissioner Aaronson pointed out, in response to comments made earlier, the Board
did not decide on issues until after listening to the public.
Commissioner McCarty commented that it would be helpful if the Chair of the PTAAB
sat with staff and gave their recommendations when issues were discussed. She
stated that one-half of the gas tax was dedicated to transit. She suggested that
future providers should not allow the drivers to take their vans home because the
practice affects the quality of service and the efficiency of the system.
7.C. BOARD CHARGED WITH MISREPRESENTATION OF SPEAKER'S COMMENTS. DISCUSSED 2-1-2000
Ed McJobian said the Commissioners often misrepresent the comments of speakers.
He referenced his comments of the previous month on a Code Enforcement issue
relating to signs in the southwest Boca Raton area.
7.D. REQUEST FOR COMMISSIONER NEWELL'S TELEPHONE LOG. DISCUSSED 2-1-2000
Mr. McJobian complained about not being able to communicate with the Vice-Chair.
He requested the telephone log from October 1999 to January 2000 from Commissioner
Newell's office in an attempt to verify if the Commissioner had received his
calls. Commissioner Newell asked Mr. McJobian to make the request to the County
Attorney's office with a security guard present. County Attorney Dytrych said she
would get with Commissioner Newell's staff and provide the documents, for review,
at a reasonable time. Mr. McJobian requested copies.
No backup submitted.
7.E. ZONING REGULATIONS FOR AT-HOME BUSINESSES. DISCUSSED 2-1-2000
Don Borovy of Loxahatchee Groves said he had thought the County would accommodate
private enterprise operating from residences but discovered zoning laws did not
allow the practice. He said two of his neighbors who had been doing business from
their private property were forced out of business by the Zoning Board.
Mr. Borovy suggested a zoning rule that would allow the owners of large parcels of
land to use them as the base for small businesses. He said the zoning laws need
to be changed to encourage residential private enterprise.
Commissioner Masilotti said he also had concerns. He asked Code Enforcement
Director Terry Verner to meet with him to review the exact uses that are allowable
within The Acreage and Loxahatchee.
7.F. CONCERN ABOUT QUALITY OF SERVICE PROVIDED BY SPEC TRAN. DISCUSSED 2-1-2000
Norma Hermelin said she was frightened about the quality of service provided by
SpecTran. She said the service was important to the riders.
Commissioner Newell informed her that the Board was trying diligently to resolve
the issue. Commissioner Aaronson explained that the proposal earlier today
allowed 90 days for problems to be fixed. If they were not remedied, then the
Board would use other means. He assured her that the Board was sympathetic to her
needs and was trying to correct the problem.
Commissioner Newell said the 70 percent improvement made by the company during
the last month was good.
10. ADJOURNMENT
