5.A. ENGINEERING AND PUBLIC WORKS
5.A.1. DIRECTION RELATING TO BLUE LAKE, LTD., DEVELOPER OF THE BLUE LAKE SITE IN THE CITY OF BOCA RATON, BEING IN MATERIAL BREACH AND DEFAULT ACCORDING TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE PUBLIC FACILITIES AGREEMENT. ON MAY 12, 2000, A LETTER WAS SENT TO THE CITY OF BOCA RATON INFORMING THEM OF THE DEVELOPER'S FAILURE TO POST SURETY AND OF THE CODE REQUIREMENT THAT NO FURTHER DEVELOPMENT ORDERS BE ISSUED. (SEE R-99-1210-D) POSTPONED UNTIL 6-20-2000- 6-6-2000

Commissioner McCarty said she met with T-Rex, representatives of Blue Lake Development, and with the city manager of Boca Raton. She said negotiations were progressing. She explained that the issue involved the acquisition of a portion of property that would affect the developer's contribution because a part of the property would remain undeveloped. She said the city council would address the issue next Tuesday and would decide whether or not to purchase the property formally. She explained that a postponement would allow more time for negotiations.

MOTION to POSTPONE the item until June 20, 2000, and direct staff to bring back an amendment to the public facilities agreement which should reflect any agreements between the developer and the City of Boca Raton that would reduce the intensity of the improved development. The amendment should also include language contingent upon the actual purchase of the property by the city and the immediate posting of a surety on June 20, 2000, for the Yamato Road eight-lane construction. Motion by Commissioner McCarty and seconded by Commissioner Masilotti.

Commissioner Masilotti thanked Commissioner McCarty, staff, and the City of Boca Raton for making the attempt to reduce the intensity of development in the county and to preserve more open space. He urged the board to support the move toward open space and less development.

Commissioner Marcus inquired of staff about the county's participation and was informed by Commissioner McCarty that the City of Boca Raton was taking the lead role.

She said discussions with the Environmentally Sensitive Land Acquisition Committee suggested that the county would acquire about 80 acres. If the council approved the acquisition, closing would happen September 1, 2000, she concluded.

County Engineer George T. Webb assured the board, at Commissioner Marcus's request, that other options were available if surety was not posted on June 20, 2000.

APPROVED 6-6-2000

MOTION to approve the interlocal agreement. Motion by Commissioner McCarty and seconded by Commissioner Newell.

Commissioner Roberts was assured by staff that annexation of these enclaves would not create other enclaves.

In response to Commissioner Masilotti's inquiry, staff said that the annexations were not voluntary but were being done through an interlocal agreement. Staff contended that it heard no opposition. Staff explained to the board that a condition of the agreement required the Village of Palm Springs to notify property owners and include the name and address of a county contact person.

Commissioner Newell contended that the village worked diligently with the property owners for all the annexations done there. He said the village staff had been encouraging county residents to become a part of the village.

Commissioner McCarty pointed out that mutual agreement had not been a criterion the county set for annexations. She commented that the village should be commended for its efforts. She stated that in most cases, however, it was unusual to find everyone receptive to the process.

Commissioner Roberts said she was supportive of residents obtaining their property rights.

Commissioner Newell shared with his colleagues that he met with village officials and encouraged them not only to annex the desirable areas but to acquire the distressed areas as well. The county would then be given the opportunity to redevelop properties on Lake Worth Road, he contended. He said the village had complied with the request because it was being benefited, and the property owners had agreed to annexation because they would rather be associated with the Village of Palm Springs than with others.

In response to the commissioner's inquiry, staff informed the board that 58 additional parcels were received for annexation last week and over 100 were expected this year.

UPON CALL FOR A VOTE, the motion carried 7-0.

EACH ENCLAVE IS LESS THAN 10 ACRES IN SIZE, AND THEY ARE LOCATED AT THE NORTH SIDE OF DILLMAN ROAD, APPROXIMATELY 550 FEET WEST OF JOG ROAD; THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF DILLMAN ROAD AND JOG ROAD; THE NORTH SIDE OF LAKE WORTH ROAD, APPROXIMATELY 1,300 FEET EAST OF MILITARY TRAIL; AND THE SOUTH SIDE OF LAKE WORTH ROAD, APPROXIMATELY 1,300 FEET EAST OF MILITARY TRAIL. DENIED 6-6-2000

MOTION TO DENY the agreement because approval would create enclaves and the county would be aiding a city in breaking Florida law. Motion by Commissioner Roberts and seconded by Commissioner Masilotti.

In response to Commissioner McCarty, Planning Director Frank M. Duke explained that state law indicated that municipality annexations cannot create enclaves. He said the Village of Palm Springs previously had requested the board not object to voluntary municipal annexations that created enclaves if the municipality presented an interlocal agreement at the time the annexation request was made. He informed the board that the City of Greenacres had annexed property that had created enclaves, however, resulting in violation of state law.

Mr. Duke further explained to the board that it directed staff to support voluntary municipal annexations as long as an interlocal agreement was approved in conjunction with the annexation request.

Mr. Duke agreed that a similar request was being honored for Palm Springs. He said he did not believe county practice violated state law but that the results of the annexation approved in Item 5.D.1. led to the creation of additional enclaves. The only way to eliminate the enclaves was through interlocal agreement, he stated.

Assistant County Attorney Robert P. Banks advised the board that the county had standing to challenge annexations by municipalities although it did not have an affirmative obligation to do so. He said case law regarding annexation was limited.

Commissioner Massilotti recalled a similar case in Jupiter. He said that since the county had no policy, each issue was addressed separately, and that staff was being put in an uncomfortable position. He commented that some residents did not want to be a part of that municipality. He sought staff's recommendation on how best to handle the issue.

Mr. Duke suggested that the board adopt its previous position and object to voluntary annexations that would cause enclaves. This practice would eliminate the request for annexation of enclaves, he advised. He said the board also could direct staff not to monitor the annexations since it was not a requirement of state law.

Mr. Duke also pointed out that the comprehensive plan stated that the county would support annexations that result in the elimination of enclaves.

Commissioner Marcus labeled the county's practice inappropriate. She said the municipalities should first get county approval before they annex properties. She suggested the need for new direction to staff.

Commissioner Roberts commented that taking away the rights of the owners of property was wrong and the informal policy should be revised to direct staff to object to any annexation creating enclaves.

Commissioner Aaronson questioned the county's liability. Mr. Banks answered that the board had total discretion in its approval of an interlocal agreement.

PUBLIC COMMENTS:
Caroline Partiu said she was being forced into annexation. She said her family had lived in the Dillman Road area for 27 years and the process had been an ongoing issue for the past 16 years. She said residents had expressed concerns about the enclaves being created but that the City of Greenacres had not listened. She now had drainage problems because developers had raised their property two-and-one-half feet higher than hers, she complained. She asked the board to take action that would assist the owners of property who did not have a lot of acreage.

Joseph Konwinski and Kathy Britt expressed the desire to remain under the jurisdiction of the county.

In response to Commissioners Masilotti and Newell, Ms. Partiu said that the City of Greenacres had not asked her to voluntarily annex. Commissioner Newell interjected that the Village of Palm Springs' Manager approached residents whenever the process was underway. Ms. Partiu said she had earlier received correspondence from the city informing her of the state statutes, followed by a letter welcoming her into the city.

Commissioner McCarty explained to Ms. Partiu that developers had to raise property to a certain level according to code in preparation for erecting a building. She stated that drainage should not be directed onto her property however.

Ms. Britt said she was concerned about fire-rescue and public safety issues. She suggested language be added to the inter-local agreement to exclude Dillman Road from the process instead of having the street divided.

UPON CALL FOR A VOTE, the motion carried 6-1. Commissioner McCarty opposed.

Commissioner Marcus suggested direction be given to staff to alleviate future problems. She commented that an interlocal agreement first should be approved by the board whenever a city decides to annex property that would create enclaves. Mr. Banks advised that an interlocal agreement could not be entered into unless there was an enclave.

Commissioner McCarty said she supported annexations and would like the entire county to be annexed someday, giving the board the opportunity to attend to county issues. She said although the City of Greenacres could have handled the issue differently, the board should set a policy to permanently resolve similar situations.

Commissioner Aaronson said he agreed with Commissioner McCarty's comments but that he was concerned about the complaints from residents over municipalities that had acted inappropriately. He said the board would stand firmly by its belief if residents were given the chance to voice their comments earlier in the process.

Commissioner Roberts suggested a policy preventing the county from aiding and abetting any community that breaks the law. Mr. Banks suggested wording stating that the county would object to the creation of any enclaves. Commissioner Marcus added that unless the annexations were all voluntary, they should not be presented to the board for approval.

After a brief discussion by the board on the policy to be set, Deputy County Administrator Miller offered a suggestion. He explained that when properties creating enclaves were added to the annexation request, staff should then object to the annexation. Mr. Duke agreed and added that the issue had been handled in a similar manner last fall. He explained that when a municipality was doing an annexation that created an enclave, staff would object when other annexations were added to eliminate the enclave. The board agreed to the suggestion.

5.H. HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
5.H.1. DIRECTION ON FUNDING SINGLE-FAMILY AND MULTI-FAMILY HOUSING, BOTH OWNED AND RENTED, UNDER THE HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT HOUSING PROGRAMS FUNDED WITH FEDERAL AND STATE FUNDS BASED ON PRELIMINARY DATA AND FINDINGS FROM THE 2000 AFFORDABLE HOUSING STUDY. APPROVED STAFF RECOMMENDATION 6-6-2000

Assistant County Administrator Verdenia C. Baker briefed the board on staff's need for direction on two schedules of the Affordable Housing Study that will be submitted to U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as part of the five-year consolidated plan. The draft will be presented to the board on June 20, 2000, she said.

Housing and Community Development (HCD) Director Remar M. Harvin said the preliminary draft document served dual purposes but that focus would be set on the HUD-mandated charts that will become a part of the consolidated plan. He said the plan would contain a certificate of consistency and that the charts would give necessary information to determine the priority level of consistency for individuals, for-profit and non-profit groups, and municipalities.

HCD Principal Planner Elena Escovar pointed out that:

• The five-year consolidated plan and the annual consolidated plan are to be submitted to HUD in August 2000.
• The five-year consolidated plan includes an affordable housing strategy and a HUD-prescribed table to be used to determine the housing needs of lower-income groups and the estimated amount of money required to address those needs.
• The county's model excluded the cities of West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, Delray Beach, and Boynton Beach because HUD was interested in information for areas it considered the county's jurisdiction.
• The first of two tables was used as a blueprint for preparation of the annual consolidated plan concerning the allocation of federal funds to affordable housing.

• The other table provided a certificate of consistency to agencies that request funding directly from HUD or other entities. This table also showed the housing needs regardless of the funding needed. Priorities may be slightly different since HUD, in its prescribed table, dictated that priorities were to be defined.

Carol Thompson, a consultant with Thompson Consulting, Inc., informed the board that her company was the prime contractor, assisted by three subcontractors, namely, Palm Beach Appraisers and Consultants, University of Florida's Schimberg Center and Bureau of Economic and Business Research, and Land Research Management. Ms. Thompson said the draft document was distributed to the Planning Division for staff review and comments. One comment associated with a projected amount was received and the issues had been resolved, she stated.

Ms. Thompson attempted to give a detailed report, but the board agreed to discuss the item in a workshop session. Commissioner Roberts suggested the board take action to facilitate staff's filing the application to HUD, but Commissioner Marcus expressed concern about doing so without knowing the details of the subject.

Commissioner Marcus asked about the previous submission to HUD, and Mr. Harvin answered that this was the second time the county had had to develop a consolidated plan. He said staff was asking for the board's focus on the level of priority for the needs to be met. He said if the information had not been listed on the application, the county would have filed an incomplete application.

Commissioner McCarty suggested the application be submitted on a staff recommendation from information gathered in previous discussions. She pointed out the board would again see the plan before final adoption. Ms. Baker added that HUD would allow staff to amend the schedule if the board altered its direction.

Commissioner Aaronson reminded staff that emphasis was not placed on single-family dwellings specifically but on ownership. Commissioner Roberts agreed and added that the county should anticipate some type of rental units as it continued in its economic development. She said the type of dwelling should not be a factor but ownership should be the priority.

In response to Commissioner Masilotti, Mr. Harvin advised the board that, if it allowed staff to proceed with the application as presented, it could amend the chart and still develop the programs as it wished.

MOTION to accept staff's recommendation. Motion by Commissioner Masilotti and seconded by Commissioner Roberts.

Commissioner Newell said the preliminary report showed that the county had built a significant number of rental units within the past five years. He also pointed out that the report showed that need, as projected for the next five years, had diminished dramatically because some areas did not need rental units, especially low-income status. Commissioner Newell inquired of staff when the report would be finalized because it would assist the board in determining developments in various regions within the county.

Mr. Harvin gave a July completion date. Ms. Thompson explained that the contract allowed her until the end of August for a presentation, however. Ms. Baker stated that information needed to be finalized and the document needed to be put in proper format before it could be presented to the board in a workshop session on August 29, 2000.

Deputy County Administrator Miller informed the board that, although there was a minor setback in the process, an alternative was ready to be presented. He said an interlocal agreement, along with other items, was being offered for approval regarding the McMurrain property.

Environmental Resources Management Director Richard E. Walesky made the following points:

• The property was the first to be purchased in the Agricultural Reserve (Ag Reserve) with funds from the 1999 conservation lands bonds. The property was 627 acres and was located west of State Road 7.
• Part a. was an interlocal agreement with the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) for joint acquisition of this property.
• The property would be split according to how much the county paid into it and would be owned in an undivided fee simple manner, with the SFWMD owning 61 percent and the county, 39 percent.
• The SFWMD would first manage the property in agricultural production and then convert to water resource usage, presumably a reservoir, at the district's expense.
• The county would share-lease revenue on the agricultural production after the district charged reasonable management and administrative expenses.
• Development rights on the property would all be retired.
• The agreement had been approved by the SFWMD board and signed by its executive director.
• Part b. provided for the assignment of the McMurrain acquisition from The Conservation Fund (TCF). The contract provided for both the SFWMD and the county to exercise their options by June 21, 2000. Closing would occur 30 days later.
• The district had taken the lead on the due diligence issues and county staff would review them.
• Parts c., d., and e. establish the county funding and provide the acquisition fee to TCF.
• The Conservation Land Acquisition Selection Committee, (CLASC) along with staff, recommended the board approve the items as they were submitted.

Mr. Walesky told the board that SFWMD informed staff that some of the due diligence issues were not expected to be resolved by June 21, 2000. He said that if SFWMD was unable to resolve those issues and could not sign the contract, the county would be committed to the option by itself. He asked for the board's direction on how best to proceed if SFWMD failed to exercise the option. He said CLASC was willing to meet if the board requested its input.

Commissioner Aaronson pointed out that the county would have attempted to acquire the property if SFWMD had not done so. In response to Commissioner Lee's inquiry about the setback, Commissioner Aaronson explained that SFWMD was testing the land to find out if it was environmentally feasible to retain water for a reservoir because pesticide had been used on the property.

Mr. Aaronson suggested the following three scenarios:

• If the land met a clear environmental standard, the county would enter into the agreement with SFWMD. The County would pay additional debt services incurred during the period SFWMD would be seeking funding if money was not available at the time of closing. SFWMD would then reimburse the County for the additional debt services paid.
• If SFWMD finds the land cannot pass the environmental standard for water retention, and the county finds the land is not suitable for agricultural purposes, the county would decline the agreement.
• If the land passed the test for agriculture, the county would purchase the 627 acres and lease them for continued farming. After 20 years, the debt service would dissolve and the county would have an income for the land, as well as the continuation of farming, which was one of the four primary goals set forth for the bond. (The goals were retention of water, a buffer for the Everglades, the retention and continuation of agriculture, and the reduction of the density in the Ag Reserve.)

Commissioner Aaronson stated that the agreement was affordable, though he contended that SFWMD needed time to comply with the due diligence requirements. He said he would not like the issue to continue past the June 21, 2000, deadline when the option had to be exercised.

MOTION to approve the interlocal agreement with SFWMD, acceptance of assignment from TCF for an agreement for sale and purchase for acquisition with SFWMD, expenditure of $9,091,065 from the county conservation land acquisition bond funds, TCF's fee of $90,911 for the acquisition, and the budget transfer. Motion by Commissioner Aaronson.

Commissioner Aaronson stated that SFWMD wanted to extend the lease on the land that was currently being farmed for two years. He said a packing house currently had been built on the site. He proposed to SFWMD, if it obtained stewardship, to allow agriculture to continue on that property for five years, the same amount of time the Palm Beach Downs property would be allowed.

SFWMD Representative Blair Littlejohn agreed to the proposal.

AMENDED MOTION that SFWMD allow continuation of agriculture on the land being farmed for the same period the southernly property is being allowed. The maker agreed. Motion seconded by Commissioner McCarty.

Commissioner Roberts asked that the motion include the prohibition of hunting on the property during the stewardship of SFWMD and that a clause be added to state that the property shall not be used for the development of any residential or commercial units.

In response to Commissioner Masilotti, Mr. Walesky stated that toxaphene, an insecticide, was found on the site, causing concern about the proposed reservoir. He said if a reservoir was planned, the discovery would affect the federal project and funding. He said if SFWMD decided not to exercise the option, staff would present another item to the board on June 20, 2000, which would facilitate acquiring the balance of $14 million.

Commissioner Masilotti inquired about the federal government's position in similar situations. Mr. Littlejohn answered that the issue was site specific and, even if a similar situation arose elsewhere, it would not necessarily be translated to this particular property. He said SFWMD was doing the study in an attempt to convince the federal government that the project warranted its support. He said that the study would be completed about July 1, 2000. If approval was received by then, SFWMD would produce its portion of the money at the closing, he concluded.

Commissioner Newell pointed out that the conservation areas toward the west of the property were open to hunting. He warned that the board should be certain hunting would not be disrupted in those areas.

Commissioner Marcus expressed concern about the property not being eligible for the state funding for water retention since it would be used for agriculture. She was assured by Palm Beach Service Center Director for SFWMD Patricia Walker that if the site could not be used as a reservoir, other sites in the same corridor would be scouted for that purpose. Commissioner Aaronson pointed out that if the issue did not pass critical examination, SFWMD would not be able to do what it had proposed because the same insecticide had been used in that entire area over the past 25 years. He said it would not prevent the board from accomplishing one of the goals of the bond issue, which was to continue farming and agriculture. He said the county would be able to apply for federal money for that purpose also.

Mr. Littleohn informed the board, at Commissioner McCarty's request, that although the insecticide had been banned years ago, safe levels were not specified in state statute. Mr. Littlejohn also stated that SFWMD had the option to pay for the reservoir itself if the federal government did not comply. Commissioner Roberts suggested Mr. Littlejohn encourage his board to fund the project even if federal assistance was denied. He agreed although he said he was unsure of a funding source.

Commissioner Lee said the board was assured by Department of Environmental Protection Secretary David Struhs, when he visited, that the county would get credit for those types of projects. She said it was also approved by the state legislature.

Mr. Miller informed the board that the present farmer wanted to continue farming on the 627 acres. He said the farmer was paying McMurrain $313,500 yearly for the lease and that the tax roll indicated that only $36,662 taxes were paid annually. He said it was being suggested by the McMurrain attorney that the county could renegotiate the lease.

Commissioner Aaronson stated that he would like to become a partner with SFWMD but if that did not occur, the land would remain valuable for agricultural purposes. Commissioner Masilotti added that the residents had voted to preserve it. Commissioner McCarty said the property was now being used for farming, she hoped that findings would not prevent its continued use.

Commissioner Lee asked whether steps had been taken to retire the development rights. Planning Director Duke responded that the board had given previous direction to do so and it would be done in the first round in 2001.

7. MATTERS BY THE PUBLIC - 2:00 P.M.
7.A. FLUORIDATION OF WATER. DISCUSSED 6-6-2000
J.W. Schmalz, Jr., of Boynton Beach stated that he had read in The Palm Beach Post that the City of Boca Raton was holding a special commission meeting to discuss water fluoridation. He said he thought all of the water systems in America were modernized and that he supported fluoridation in Boca Raton.

Mr. Schmalz contended that the Boca Raton commission had voted to oppose water fluoridation. He said he had started a campaign in Boynton Beach to support fluoridation and that Dr. Jeffery Elders, a dentist, helped organize speakers, whom he listed.

Mr. Schmalz said opponents of fluoridation falsely claimed that it causes bone cancer, hip fractures, AIDS, infertility and, possibly, hangnails but they cannot produce any study to prove the ill effects. He said a vast amount of information that proved the benefits had been made available since the board first addressed the subject in 1991. He encouraged the board to open the subject up to discussion in an orderly and professional manner as Boynton Beach had done and to approve fluoridation as did Miami-Dade and Broward counties and certain cities in south county.

Commissioner Newell directed staff to contact Mr. Schmalz.

7.B. EL CLAIR RANCH ROAD SPEED LIMIT RAISED FROM 30 MILES PER HOUR (MPH) TO 35 MPH. DISCUSSED 6-6-2000

Greg Mauz spoke in regard to the speed limit being raised on El Clair Ranch Road. He said the speed limit was raised from 30 miles per hour (mph) to 35 mph although, according to Florida law, the limit should be between 45 mph and 50 mph. He contended that, even though the speed was raised to 35 mph, it was 13 mph below the 85th percentile. He said most residents would be given traffic tickets illegitimately. He also pointed out that there were many more under-posted speed limits throughout the county contrary to state statute.

Mr. Mauz commented that under-posted speed limits did not increase safety and that a Department of Transportation manual stated that unrealistic speed limits could lead to accidents. He pointed out that if a motorist failed to yield and crashed into another vehicle, the fine was only $78. If a motorist traveled 50 mph on El Clair Ranch Road, however, the speeding violation cost $168 even if the motorist was traveling safely. He inquired of the board and the county attorney what would be done to remedy the injustice in the amount of fines charged for speeding.

County Attorney Dytrych was directed to review the state laws to be certain the board was in compliance regarding speed limits. She was also directed to keep in contact with Mr. Mauz.

7.C. DISABLED TRANSPORTATION ISSUES (SPECTRAN). DISCUSSED 6-6-2000
Charles Hill, a state employee, said his job involved serving rehabilitation clients by getting them trained and employed. He said the proposal to eliminate subscription and door-to-door services would affect him. He said he was totally blind and a single parent and had no other means of transportation than SpecTran and Palm Tran. He stated that his two children were not yet at the driving age and that it would be impossible to get his children off to school and himself to work on time without these services. If the transportation component was not in line with other services, his clients would not be successfully placed as required by the federal government, he added.

Mr. Hill asked the board to reconsider the proposals to eliminate subscription and door-to-door service. He said he needed to know that he would be picked up and returned home daily without having to spend up to 45 minutes on the telephone in an attempt to learn whether he would be getting a ride.

7.D. DISABLED TRANSPORTATION ISSUES (SPECTRAN). DISCUSSED 6-6-2000
Susan Priest spoke on behalf of the disabled population and their families. She said the elimination of subscription trips would make it harder for persons to get to regularly scheduled appointments or to work. She said the elimination of seven-day advance reservations and their replacement by reservations made a day in advance was ludicrous. She said if reservations were made several days in advance, it would provide the disabled rider a greater amount of independence and protect him or her from the trouble and nuisance of having to do the task every day.

Ms. Priest contended that her son, who has muscular dystrophy and worked at Bloomingdale's in Boca Raton, would be unemployed unless he had transportation on a fixed route. She proposed the board employ the service for a week or two and suspend the change to reservations on a one-day notice.

7.E. DISABLED TRANSPORTATION ISSUES (SPECTRAN). DISCUSSED 6-6-2000
Norma Melin contended that if SpecTran was eliminated, she would have to go into a nursing home and the county would be spending more money on her care. She suggested the seven-day reservation be continued.

7.F. HOMELESSNESS IN PALM BEACH COUNTY. DISCUSSED 6-6-2000
Alan Levine said the county Homeless Outreach supervisor had made a presentation to the homeless coalition on May 19, 2000, when she stated that the Homeless Outreach Program had two teams for the entire county and each team comprised three people. Each team makes four appointments a day to visit the homeless but usually sees only three, he said. He compared this practice with Broward County, which he said had a two- person team that visited 20 persons within four to five hours and had 700 contacts resulting in 350 placed in shelters. He said Broward was placed first in the nation in the Super Nova Housing and Urban Development Grant. The county got $3.5 million and a bonus of $3.5 million for winning the first place, he informed the board.

Mr. Levine asked the board to review the Homeless Outreach Program because the board's review may improve staff's productivity. He said the Broward County coalition and the Fort Lauderdale Police Department indicated that they would make a presentation to the board at its convenience.

Commissioner Newell advised the audience that the procedure was for staff to note the comments and then get back to the speakers individually.

7.G. DISABLED TRANSPORTATION ISSUES (SPECTRAN). DISCUSSED 6-6-2000
The Reverend W. E. Evans, Jr., said he had been a dialysis patient for 11 years and had always had problems with transportation. He commented that there were others who could hardly walk, those who were blind, and those with other disabilities who needed door-to-door transportation daily but were unable to make the daily telephone calls. He stated that the problem was not only a money issue but also a concern for people who really need help. He contended that it was not fair to think that most disabled persons had an automobile or someone who could transport them. He asked the board if it was willing to allow those who could not help themselves to bear the burden.

7.H. DISABLED TRANSPORTATION ISSUES (SPECTRAN). DISCUSSED 6-6-2000
Carolyn Lapp said she and her husband were blind and were parents of four children. She said she was requesting, as she had done about a year ago, the board not to eliminate any of the Palm Tran bus routes, nor to raise the fees for the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) services. She said because of increased fees, her family went from spending $700 to $1,100 within a six-month period for rides.

Ms. Lapp commented that she and her husband were not born blind and that she was not begging for sympathy, but that the ADA program could benefit everyone if there was a need. She encouraged the board to allow the ADA program to grow instead of eliminating it.

7.I. TRANSPORTATION ISSUES. DISCUSSED 6-6-2000
Allen Preston charged the board with responsibility for the transportation system and said the board's message to the public was that if residents did not drive vehicles, they were not wanted in this county.

Mr. Preston commented that vehicle maintenance was very poorly done and that vehicles were being operated in dangerous conditions. He complained that Bus 1035 had been having maintenance problems with the doors since October 1999 which were still unresolved.

He said if service was halted at 8:30 p.m., and holiday and weekend trips were discontinued, he would be denied the opportunity to access his beautiful county. He said although he could take a taxicab, it would cost an excessive amount of money and give him more limited access than someone driving an automobile. He charged the board with denying the disabled their right of equal access. He concluded by saying it would help to keep the tourist industry competitive if the people who worked at the service level could reliably get back and forth to work.

7.J. DISABLED TRANSPORTATION ISSUES (SPECTRAN). DISCUSSED 6-6-2000
Gary Billings said he was wounded in Vietnam serving his county. He said he was 50 percent disabled and that he relied heavily on SpecTran services as his means of transportation. While he commended the service, however, he said problems had developed recently. He stated that he had fallen off a bus and no one investigated to see if he was hurt. He said his sister had to exit her residence to help him up. He complained of being left stranded for more than three hours on three separate occasions. He said being a Vietnam veteran had earned him little benefit.

Commissioner Newell asked Mr. Billings to submit information to staff regarding the bus incident for further investigation.

7.K. DISABLED TRANSPORTATION ISSUES (SPECTRAN). DISCUSSED 6-6-2000
David Evans, a member of Palm Tran Accessiblity Advisory Board and the Metropolitan Planning Organization Transportation Disadvantaged Coordinating Board, informed the board that:

• Subscription trips need not be eliminated, even though the level is at 80 percent. Under Americans with Disabilities Act all trips can be honored as long as no individual trips were denied. They are the easiest to plan and handle.
• Elimination of seven-day advance reservation services takes away the ability for the disabled to plan their lives. Penalize no-shows and cancellations instead of all other riders.
• Diminishing the core area would cut off service to everyone east of the Intracoastal Waterway along the beach. If Bus Route 92 was cut, the line would be moved to Glades Road in Boca Raton instead of remaining at the Broward County line. This would inconvenience some riders.
• It was the wrong time to start injecting zone fares into the service. This practice should be reserved until the county's service was established since the county was attempting to follow Broward County's model.
• The fare increase to $2.00 should be delayed. Last year after the fare increase, service became deplorable.
• Continue door-to-door service instead of curb service. Many riders need drivers to come to the door or pull into the driveway for pickup.
• Flexible routing was a good alternative, particularly in dealing with the walled communities west of Military Trail.
• The county should probably try to get another penny from the gas tax to be used toward transportation. The tax collector also may be persuaded to use some of his surplus monies to help with the Palm Tran/Spectran deficit.

7.L. DISABLED TRANSPORTATION ISSUES (SPECTRAN). DISCUSSED 6-6-2000
Linda Millman, a resident of the county for 20 years, said subscription trips were vital, as was door-to-door service. She said the proposed fare increase could be costly to people on a fixed income. She pointed out that residents in the northern part of the county, as well as those in other areas, needed service. She said she hoped the issue may get to the point where transportation was provided and would not have to be fought for every year.

7.M. REQUEST FOR BUS ROUTE TO SERVE AUSTRALIAN AVENUE. DISCUSSED 6-6-2000
Edward Walsh, coordinator of social services at Mangonia Residence, a residence for seniors, said for two-and-one-half years he had been trying to get bus services on Australian Avenue. He said that two schools, three churches, and two housing developments were in that area and that about 220 people residing at his housing community were either seniors or disabled. He pointed out that bus services would be beneficial to meet the needs of all residents of that area.

7.N. REQUEST FOR A BUS ROUTE TO SERVE AUSTRALIAN AVENUE. DISCUSSED 6-6-2000
Jacqueline Brady, a resident of Mangonia Residence, said she was a frequent rider of Palm Tran. She contended that not having bus service on Australian Avenue left many residents stranded and immobile because they were not qualified for county services. Residents had to walk on a street without sidewalks to get out of their community and to a bus stop. She said the community was asking for a bus stop on Australian Avenue, within her development. A bus stop would provide safe, easy access, she concluded.

7.P. DISABLED TRANSPORTATION ISSUES (SPECTRAN). DISCUSSED 6-6-2000
Bobbi Valentine said she was opposed to the decreases being proposed for transportation services for the disabled and to the $3.2 million of ad valorem taxes being requested by staff. She commented that she would like to know, if she had to pay additional taxes, that her money was supporting services useful to her. She also stated that it was time for the board to develop a dedicated funding source for transportation programs for the disabled.

7.Q. DISABLED TRANSPORTATION ISSUES (SPECTRAN). DISCUSSED 6-6-2000
Eric Combast, the chair for the Palm Beach County Partnership for Aging Legislative Committee, read a mission statement to the board. Mr. Combast suggested continuation of door-to-door transportation services and weekend routes for the disabled. He offered to work with staff and other affected groups until a resolution was reached.

7.R. DISABLED TRANSPORTATION ISSUES (SPECTRAN). DISCUSSED 6-6-2000
Janet Brill contended that the board was taking away the rights of those who use SpecTran services to get around.

7.S. DISABLED TRANSPORTATION ISSUES (SPECTRAN). DISCUSSED 6-6-2000
Roxanne Cicchino, of West Palm Beach, said she was care giver to her father, a dialysis patient. She stated that she looked forward to the subscription rides her father had been getting. She said it would cause a hardship for her to try and make the scheduled appointments ahead of time. She asked the board to reconsider any action that would change the present program.

Ms. Cicchino pointed out that her father became very weak after dialysis treatment and needed assistance to get him to his door. She suggested door-to-door service be allowed to continue.

7.T. REQUEST FOR BUS STOP ON AUSTRALIAN AVENUE. DISCUSSED 6-6-2000
David Oliver, a resident of Mangonia Residence on Australian Avenue, pleaded with the board to put a bus stop in front of his building.

Commissioner Masilotti asked staff to look into establishing a stop in that area. Staff informed the board that the rerouting of Route 92 to service that area was being considered.

Commissioner Aaronson said the entire system had to be looked at carefully in an attempt to service everyone.

7.U. TRANSPORTATION SERVICES FOR SENIORS (SPECTRAN). DISCUSSED 6-6-2000
Norma Van Buskirk said although she was a healthy senior who was able to drive, she was an advocate for seniors who needed door-to-door transportation services. She stated that seniors who were handicapped would have to go into nursing homes, which would be more costly for the county. She asked the board to consider keeping Palm Tran and SpecTran intact for the seniors.

7.V. DISABLED TRANSPORTATION ISSUES (SPECTRAN). DISCUSSED 6-6-2000
Deanna Cain, director of Community Living, and Fred Eisinger, organizer, at the Association for Retarded Citizens (ARC); Fern Laskin, director of the Rehabilitation Center for the Handicapped in Boca Raton; and Joel McIlwain, representing the Palm Beach Rehabilitation Center, presented their concerns as a group.

Mr. Eisinger said some of the disabled were adults who were encouraged to go to work and become active participants in the community but transportation played an integral part in the process. He stated that those groups could not depend on the state to supply their needs and the county had to take an active role. He commented that residents of the county were fortunate and encouraged the board to do the right thing for those who were less fortunate by allowing those people to adhere to what was expected of them as contributors to society.

Commissioner Masilotti responded that the board had not entertained any cuts in service. He said the board did ask the cities to participate in sharing the costs in an attempt to provide better countywide service. He asked the group for its help. He urged the speakers to go to the cities and lobby for at least 50 percent of their gas tax money to be used toward mass transit. He said services could be improved if the cities made the commitment to help.

The group agreed to take the message to the cities.

7.W. SMALLER BUSES FOR TRANSPORTATION. DISCUSSED 6-6-2000
Gerry Gurbuz, a senior advocate, read a statement from Tony Fransetta, president of the Florida State Council of Senior Citizens, regarding the use of smaller buses as a means of transportation in the county.

Ms. Gurbuz commented that there were over 370,000 seniors in addition to the younger disabled county residents. She contended that although aging was not a disease, it brought ailments that become part of the elders' lives. She said if the county was thinking of eliminating bus routes, it was headed in the wrong direction.

Commissioner Roberts pointed out that bigger buses were used on heavily populated routes especially during peak hours. She contended that it would be more costly if those buses were replaced with smaller ones. She said smaller buses were being used on most of the routes.

7.X. TRANSPORTATION ISSUES. DISCUSSED 6-6-2000
Stanley Voice made the following comments:

• The board should scrutinize the Palm Tran/Spectran proposal.
• The county could consider vans and jitney services, although smaller buses already were being used.
• The county had contributed $400,000 annually for senior services for the past four years to match the American Automobile Association's federal funding. The board should consider funding for the seniors' program.

• There are 45,000 eligible transportation disadvantaged (TD) persons in the county. The county provided $100,000 and the state gave $1 million for TD services. The board was to make a contribution whenever the designated funds diminished.
• A three-quarters-of-a-mile rule just implemented was unnecessary. Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) services applied only to those who live within that distance from a bus route. The board should give each disabled person the privilege to use SpecTran services.

7.Y. DISABLED TRANSPORTATION ISSUES (SPECTRAN). DISCUSSED 6-6-2000
Carol Mayer, a social worker at St. Mary's Hospital, stated that about 1,300 dialysis patients and about 20 centers were in the county. About 50 percent of those patients depend on SpecTran services, she added. She reminded the board that there were patients who need transportation for life-giving treatment. Users of the system were anticipating more improvements, she concluded.

Commissioner Roberts said she hoped Ms. Mayer relayed the message to the whole community that medical needs were the county's number one priority. She urged all to attend a meeting the following day, to discuss the importance of keeping St. Mary's Hospital open.

Commissioner Masilotti asked staff if a funding reduction was made in the budget for Palm Tran. Assistant County Administrator Vince Bonvento answered that misinformation was being distributed in the community. He explained that staff submitted to the board a menu of options for review and also scheduled a workshop for July 5, 2000, to discuss some of the issues. He said the board may not support any of staff's recommendation in July. He stated that many of the comments were premature.

In response to Commissioner Masilotti, Mr. Bonvento stated that staff presented several scenarios to the board, some of which required additional funding from the county. Staff indicated some level-of-service adjustments would also be necessary if additional funding was not provided. Staff identified a menu of issues and options to be presented to the board at a later date but no decisions were made, Mr. Bonvento continued. He said Palm Tran Executive Director Perry J. Maull already had sent a letter to the cities encouraging them to provide additional financial support for the county's paratransit and fixed-route system.

Commissioner Aaronson told the public that no decision had been made regarding the transportation issues. He referred them to the July 5, 2000, workshop, when the topic would be discussed.

Commissioner McCarty stated that an announcement probably would be made this afternoon regarding plans for the St. Mary's and Good Samaritan hospitals. She said the plan was to renovate Good Samaritan Hospital. Everything would be transferred to St. Mary's Hospital until after the renovation, then moved back to Good Samaritan Hospital, she continued. The St. Mary's facility would then be closed, she added. She pointed out that a meeting probably would not be held the following day.

7.Z. NON-USERS OF TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM MAKE DECISIONS. DISCUSSED 6-6-2000
Doris Frank expressed concern that people who do not use the county transportation system get to make the decisions on how the program should be funded and used.

7.AA. DISABLED TRANSPORTATION ISSUES (SPECTRAN). DISCUSSED 6-6-2000
Dennis Martin, member of Palm Tran Citizens Advisory Board, read a statement to the board. He urged the board to devise a plan for SpecTran/Palm Tran services, allowing the county the opportunity to market itself as one of the most disabled-friendly communities in Florida.

7.BB. TRANSPORTATION FOR ALZHEIMER'S PATIENTS (SPECTRAN). DISCUSSED 6-6-2000
Mary M. Barnes, executive director of the Alzheimer's Community Care Association of Palm Beach and Martin Counties, expressed concern about the elimination of curb-to-curb versus door-to-door service for Alzheimer's patients.

Ms. Barnes informed the board that the association tried to develop daycare facilities where they would be accessible to main bus routes as a way of encouraging their clients to stop driving. She said her association anticipated opening up a new daycare in Palm Beach Gardens but later found out that no public transportation would service the Holly Drive area. She contended that they could get into the transportation business with vans but they would need several to service the entire county.

Ms. Barnes said she was agreeable to approaching the cities and even the federal government for help. She offered to assist the board arrive at a solution by serving on a fast-track task force.

The board members took turns commenting on the issue with Commissioner Roberts confirming that Florida ranked 49 out of 50 states in the amount of money received from the Federal Highway Administration and also ranked 45 in funds received from federal grants in the Department of Health and Human Services. She said those grants were generally matching grants and the state had not seen it fit to contribute. She contended that the fourth largest state in the union fell at the bottom of the list because the state legislators had not acquired the matching grants the state required for its programs.

Deputy County Administrator Miller commented that instead of just looking to cities to supply their fair share, the county should probably join them in their approach to the federal government.

Commissioner Roberts said she had asked for the transportation disadvantaged (TD) issue to be added to the legislative agenda next year. She also urged everyone to consult with their legislators regarding the matter.

Commissioner McCarty commented that the conversation was now headed in the right direction. She pointed out that city government did not provide social services because that was not part of its charge. She said the federal government had provided the opportunity but it was the state government that had not reacted. She said Mr. Miller's suggestion was the more positive way to go.

Commissioner Masilotti pointed out that matching funds for the Health Care District were also available but the state needed to become involved in the process.

TIME CERTAIN - 2:15 P.M.
5.D.3. DOCUMENT R-2000-0808
INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH MUNICIPALITIES AND THE SCHOOL DISTRICT TO ESTABLISH PUBLIC SCHOOL CONCURRENCY. UPON APPROVAL BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, THE AGREEMENT WILL BE PRESENTED TO THE OTHER PARTIES FOR APPROVAL AS REQUIRED BY STATE STATUTE. APPROVED AS AMENDED 6-6-2000

Assistant County Administrator Baker asked the board's approval of the item as amended, subject to the deletion of Sections V.H.1(e) and (f), which addressed countywide suspension; and modification to V.H.2(b), which addressed Community Service Administration (CSA) suspension; and that language in Section V.H.1(e) be included in the CSA suspension section instead of being mentioned in the countywide portion. Ms. Baker explained that, if the level of service caused concern in the CSA, service would be suspended in that entity instead of in the entire county.

MOTION to approve staff's recommendation. Motion by Commissioner Masilotti and seconded by Commissioner Marcus.

Commissioner Masilotti thanked Leo Noble, the consultant, for helping the county create a priority for school concurrency. He asked Mr. Noble if the time would come when 33 percent of the municipalities would decide to pull out of the program because of its smooth operation, however. He said it had been a concern of his because of the 33 percent drop-out clause. Mr. Noble answered that the Board of Directors of the League of Cities asked for the 33 percent change to the document. He said the request was made after a joint workshop on October 13, 1999. He explained that many methods of suspension already were written in that would come into force if a problem arose in the system. He explained that the league requested the language as a relief valve for what was considered an experimental program.

In response to Commissioner Masilotti, Mr. Noble said a critique mechanism was not in place. He recommended approval of the document either as staff had amended it or as he had presented it. He further contended that if changes continue to take place, the plan would not get to fruition.

Commissioner Aaronson pointed out that 10 out of 28 cities could opt out at any time, and at the end of a fire-year period only one needed to opt out for a default. Commissioner Aaronson spoke about the negative concerns regarding the document. He expressed disbelief that other parties would not want to sign the document. He said he had compromised to an automatic renewal time of one year but he would not capitulate to the municipalities because surrendering was not in the best interest of students and the people of the county. He contended that he had been working on the document for about seven years and that he would support staff's recommendation because concurrency without substance is useless.

Commissioner Marcus said a league member complained of being unaware of this meeting, and of the changes to the document, and that no information had been presented at the last four meetings at least. Mr. Noble responded that, although he had not given a formal presentation to the league, he had attended its meeting on December 13, 1999. He said the changes did not arise from the league as a whole but from certain members, however. He said he would again present the document to the league on June 14, 2000, but he was attempting to get the document approved and signed by the county before going any further. He said the county had given only conceptual approval previously. Commissioner Marcus suggested that board members be informed of problems with municipalities within their districts so that they could address those issues individually. She also suggested information and direction be taken only from the board of directors of the league instead of from individual members.

PUBLIC COMMENT:
Dagmar Brahs agreed with Lew Doctor, president of Coalition of Boynton West Residential Associations (COBWRA), who spoke in support of the concurrency plan. He said if this plan did not work, the community would demand a plan that could do the job. He said he would like to see it succeed and would work with everyone in the community to make it work.

Whit Ward, representing the Goldcoast Builders Association, said he supported the plan but requested amendments to the document. He informed the Board that he had met with Mr. Noble over several months and that they had agreed on many issues though others were unresolved.

Mr. Ward stated that the plan required review of each proposed development by the school district to determine if adequate facilities were available. He termed it another level of bureaucracy. He said the county already had a review committee and, therefore, the school district committee could be eliminated. He also stated that the plan created a technical advisory group. He suggested a residential builder or developer be added because that group would be most affected. He pointed out that the school district had 15 days to review the initial school concurrency application and to respond. He approved of the idea but expressed concern about the time limit if additional information was requested during the process. He asked that the issue be addressed if the school district was to be allowed to do the review process.

Mr. Ward said he would appreciate having his concerns addressed before the document became finalized. He said he was also concerned about not being able to review the latest tables associated with the document because the previous one showed that the county would be able to build new schools.

In response to Commissioner McCarty, Mr. Noble informed the board that, because he thought the issue was becoming too politicized, he had selected a neutral group at Commissioner Aaronson's suggestion. He said the document required the Economic Council to seat a private sector for-profit individual, who could be a home builder.

Commissioner McCarty expressed the need for a home builder who could complement the group's views.

Commissioner Marcus added that a concern also arose about seating a parent or staff person on the team but none had made the list.

Ms. Baker stated that the five-member review group consisted of a public accountant nominated by Florida Atlantic University (FAU), a general contractor nominated by American General Contractors (AGC) local chapter, a demographer from FAU, a planner from Treasure Coast Chapter of the American Planning Association, and a for-profit businessperson nominated by the Economic Council.

Commissioner McCarty suggested that the meetings be open to the public, giving interested groups the opportunity to be heard. Mr. Noble agreed that the 15-day response by the school district was a non-issue for the builders. Mr. Noble explained that the Development Review Committee dealt only with county issues, and each municipality had its own review committee. The implementing ordinance would determine how the issue was handled, he added.

Assistant County Attorney Barbara Alterman explained that there was a concurrency application procedure that every development went through, and the review would require an additional service provider to review the application. She said the system would not be changed because of that review.

Mr. Noble asked the board for a unanimous vote either way because he would like to get the system moving. Ms. Alterman then reviewed the changes as stated earlier.

UPON CALL FOR A VOTE, the motion carried 7-0.

Mr. Noble promised the board a copy of the schedule of meetings with the municipalities. He urged the board's attendance at those meetings.

3.C.22. BUDGET TRANSFER 2000-1071
BUDGET TRANSFER OF $107,000 IN THE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT FUND FROM DISTRICT 3 IMPROVEMENT RESERVE TO THE LAKE WORTH CORRIDOR PAVING AND DRAINAGE PROJECT ACCOUNTS. POSTPONED 6-6-2000

Commissioner Newell said upon reviewing the costs involved with the project, he noticed that staff costs of $21,160, which equated to 25 percent, were floated onto the project cost as part of the $1 million budget per district. He pointed out that $250,000 of the million dollars would be used for engineering staff and not for capital projects. He stated that 25 percent was extremely high for staff's cost.

County Engineer Webb said the estimate of design contingencies was also added to the amount.

Commissioner Newell asked Mr. Webb to come back with the breakdown of staff costs versus contingencies.

MOTION to POSTPONE the item. Motion by Commissioner Newell and seconded by Commissioner McCarty.

Commissioner Newell explained to staff that he did not anticipate diversion of the costs for capital projects to other uses. Mr. Webb explained to the Board that the county was charged similar to other Municipal Service Taxing Units (MSTUs). He agreed to report back to the board with a cost breakdown for this and some other project in an attempt to provide a comparison.

Deputy County Administrator Miller told the board that the earlier suggestion to workshop the Housing and Community Development Five-year Consolidated Plan on August 29 would have to be moved. He explained that the agenda for that day was over-booked and that the item may be rescheduled. He said staff would inform the board of the new date.

9.A. COMMISSIONER CAROL A. ROBERTS
9.A.1. SHOPPING CENTER PROTECTION. DISCUSSED 6-6-2000
Commissioner Roberts stated that Assistant County Attorney Alterman had responded to her previous comments on security measures at shopping centers. At her request, staff was directed to formulate an ordinance for the board's review.

Commissioner Marcus said the board agreed previously that security measures could be a condition of approval for new applications at the zoning level. The board then directed staff to come back with some of the answers on how to immediately include security measures at shopping centers as a condition of zoning approval.

No backup submitted.

9.A.2. LETTER FROM FLORIDA LEGAL SERVICES. DISCUSSED 6-6-2000

Staff was directed to review the issue and report back to the board.

No backup submitted.

9.B. COMMISSIONER WARREN H. NEWELL
9.B.1. THE QUANTUM FOUNDATION OFFER. DISCUSSED 6-6-2000
Commissioner Newell stated that The Quantum Foundation offered $50 million to Good Samaritan and St. Mary hospitals to conduct a review of how the facilities could be kept operational. He stated that he and Commissioners Roberts and Lee would attend a meeting tomorrow.

He suggested the board ask The Quantum Foundation to use the money for a study of all the services provided in the healthcare field in the county.

Commissioner McCarty suggested a letter from the board over the Chair's signature requesting the comprehensive study. Commissioner Newell added that although the outcome of the hospitals was still undetermined, the board should look at what would be in the best interests of the county and become pro-active in achieving a solution.

Commissioner Roberts agreed that the needs of the county had to be met and that Commissioner Newell's suggestion would offer the county an alternative. She pointed out that the suggestion was not to endorse a county hospital but to use other facilities which were newly built.

Commissioner Lee said grant money also was available from the state. She said she agreed with the approach.

No backup provided.

9.C. COMMISSIONER MARY MCCARTY
9.C.1. PROPOSED RENAMING OF THE ED HEALEY BRIDGE. DISCUSSED 6-6-2000

Commissioner Roberts pointed out that one side of the bridge was in Representative Healey's district. She said she brought the request to name the bridge forward because the City of West Palm Beach had made a similar request to honor the representative.

Commissioner McCarty questioned whether the honor was the most appropriate one. The board decided to take no action.
