ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR AN AMENDED 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) (P.O.P. 728278) ADOPTED WITH DIRECTION 9-12-2000
MOTION to adopt the ordinance. Motion by Commissioner Newell and seconded by Commissioner
Masilotti.
Assistant County Engineer G. Haney Frakes said that:
- Because the update involved deletion of one construction phase of a project, the board must concur with two findings of fact which involved the 6-lane
construction of Lyons Road from Glades Road to Yamato Road. The first finding was that the deletion of the construction project would not result in any
link or intersection on the road network operating at a level of service greater than the level adopted in this ordinance. The second finding was 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.
- Traffic growth had slowed on that section of Lyons Road, and it was projected that within five years the traffic volume would not exceed the Level of
Service D standard of 32,500 vehicles per day.
- There were no development projects that were phased for the 6-lane construction of Lyons Road or that would be denied building permits.
AMENDED MOTION to include that the board concurs with the two findings of fact as stipulated by Mr. Frakes. The maker and seconder agreed to
the amended motion.
PUBLIC COMMENT:
Ed McJobian, president of the Boca Del Mar Wolverine Homeowners Association asked if there was a reduction in road beautification funding and if the
$850,000 transfer to mass transit would come from state or federal funds. He said there was a need for cutouts so that the buses could pull over to pick up and
let off passengers instead of stopping on the roadways. Staff responded that beautification funding was $3.6 million for 2000 and $1.3 million for 2001. The
notable difference in the amounts was because the board had allocated significant funds for a start up program the first year. Bus drivers preferred to stop in the
driving lane to pick up and let off passengers because it was difficult to get back into traffic when utilizing the cutouts. When the board allocated the gas taxes, a
portion went to Palm Tran and a portion to the road program. Palm Tran could not use all of the money in the first couple of years, so some of its funds were
utilized for the road program. The $850,000 was a transfer of gas tax from the road program as final payment to Palm Tran for its funds that had been utilized
for the road program. The board agreed last year to add an additional $500,000 of road money to Palm Tran each year.
Sam Decorato said the project for the construction of Lantana Road from Florida's Turnpike to west of Hagen Ranch Road had been ongoing for 10 years. He
asked when construction of the project would actually begin. County Engineer George Webb said construction typically would begin 60 days after approval of a
contract and that the board had approved the contract with J.W. Cheatham, Inc., today.
Commissioner Newell stated this was a developer-initiated project and the developer had been a party to the construction holdup for years. There were a lot of
issues involving Mecca Farms, turnouts, the Turnpike underpass, widening, right-of-way acquisition, and the Lakes of Sherbrooke not allowing the county to
drain into their lake. The construction was finally beginning because of pressure from the County Engineering Department. Commissioner Masilotti asked staff
to submit data on the amount of impact fees collected each year.
STAFF WAS DIRECTED TO:
- Submit data on the amount of impact fees collected each year.

6.E. ADMINISTRATION
6.E.1. DIRECTION ON A REQUEST BY THE OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL TO JOIN WITH THE MUNICIPALITIES OF PALM BEACH AND
WEST PALM BEACH AND OTHERS BY FUNDING $50,000 OF THE TOTAL ESTIMATED COST OF $206,000 FOR A HEALTH CARE
MANAGEMENT FIRM TO CONDUCT A DETAILED FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF INTRACOASTAL HEALTH SYSTEMS REGARDING ST. MARY'S
AND GOOD SAMARITAN HOSPITALS. APPROVED WITH DIRECTION 9-12-2000
County Administrator Weisman said the request was for the county to pay a $50,000 share of the $206,000 total cost to allow the State Attorney General to do a
detailed financial analysis of Intracoastal Health Systems (IHS). Assistant Attorney General Daniel P. Hyndman said that his office was conducting a detailed
review of IHS's proposal to close St. Mary's Hospital. Costs for the investigation were estimated at $206,000. In order to do the necessary detailed analysis,
his office had retained the firm of Jennings, Ryan and Kolb, who were expert health care consultants. The expense was unanticipated, which was the reason his
office was requesting assistance. They had made a similar request to the City of West Palm Beach and the Town of Palm Beach, each of which had approved
$50,000 in funding. The main point of the investigation was to look into the IHS contention that it was impossible or impractical to keep both hospitals open.
The Attorney General's Office would look into the effect closure might have on the charitable trust and other issues affecting health care. It was an important
investigation that affected county residents.
Commissioner Newell said he had been involved with the issue for the last few months. The Quantum Foundation had provided $600,000 to a group of
consultants to do an in-depth report on the matter. Mr. Newell stated concern that the board would be setting a precedent by approving the funding request.
Although the investigation was desperately needed, approval of the funding request was similar to the Article 5 issue, whereby the county would be funding a
state cost.
Mr. Hyndman commented that his office was looking to the county for a portion of the fee for the financial experts. His office had the attorneys and
investigators working on the case but they were seeking the county's assistance on the financial analysis costs. His office was working with the community
advisory board on its investigations. Mr. Hyndman assured there would be no unnecessary duplication of services.
Commissioner Aaronson said that the financial analysis was a joint venture that benefitted the residents of the county and that he did not see the funding as
setting a precedent. He hoped that the Attorney General would continue to fund the legal investigation.
MOTION to provide $50,000 as requested. Motion by Commissioner Aaronson and seconded by Commissioner Roberts.
Commissioner McCarty concurred with Commissioner Aaronson. She asked if the Attorney General's Office had asked the Health Care District to participate.
Mr. Hyndman said no. His office wanted to go to the county, the City of West Palm Beach and the Town of Palm Beach because of their impartiality on the
issue. The possibility of approaching the Health Care District had not been eliminated, however. Commissioner McCarty contended that Mr. Hyndman's
justification for not asking the district to participate was weak. She recommended that the county's contribution be contingent upon the district becoming a
partner.
Commissioner Marcus said she did not view the funding as an Article 5 mandate because the county alone would benefit from the amount of time the Attorney
General's Office would spend on the matter. The requested funding was reasonable because the county's populace was very interested in the outcome of the
hospitals. She did not agree with the funding approval being contingent on the district becoming a partner, although they should be asked to participate.
Commissioner Roberts agreed that the funding was appropriate because hospitals were an integral part of the communities. If either of the hospitals was closed,
it would affect the remaining countywide hospitals. She did not want to make the county's funding contingent upon the Health Care District's participation. Ms.
Roberts encouraged the Attorney General's Office to ask the Health Care District to participate and to report back to the board on the district's response.
Commissioner Masilotti asked for an explanation of the scope of duties. Mr. Hyndman stated that the firm of Jennings, Ryan and Kolb were local expert health
care consultants who would do a detailed financial analysis of IHS records dating back to 1994, as well as the charitable trust. Basically they were seeking to
verify the assertion from IHS that it was impractical or impossible to keep St. Mary's Hospital open. The community was skeptical of that assertion, and the best
way to give the fair answer would be to do a detailed financial analysis by the best experts available. Other related issues might come up as a result of the
analysis, he said. Commissioner Masilotti said that he was disappointed that the Health Care District was not at the forefront of the issue because it was their
responsibility to provide health care for indigent county residents. He would not support the county's funding being contingent on the Health Care District's
participation. He agreed that Mr. Hyndman should report back regarding the district's participation.
Commissioner Newell noted that there had been four audits of IHS financial records from four different companies over the last five years. The last had been
done by the community advisory board. Because the financial analysis might reveal improper operations that might not have been exposed in the other audits and
financial assessments, he would support the funding. Mr. Hyndman maintained that the financial analysis would be unbiased. Commissioner Lee stated that the
project needed to be completed as quickly as possible. Commissioner McCarty said she would not support the funding without its being contingent upon
participation by the Health Care District. She did support being a partner with the Attorney General's Office, however.
UPON CALL FOR A VOTE, the motion carried 6-1. Commissioner McCarty opposed.
Mr. Weisman said that staff would return with a budget transfer and an agreement with the Attorney General's Office on a future consent agenda. Commissioner
Marcus asked that staff include as a part of the item a response from the Health Care District regarding its participation. Commissioner Newell asked that staff
ensure that there would not be a duplication of services.
STAFF WAS DIRECTED TO:
- Report back with a response from the Health Care District regarding its participation.
- Ensure that there would not be a duplication of services.

MOTION to approve the waiver and the budget transfer. Motion by Commissioner Masilotti and seconded by Commissioner Newell.
Commissioner Newell stated that the residents would be notified that cleaning and clearing of the canals would be a one-time funding. Staff would work with the
residents to establish a municipal service taxing unit (MSTU). He said that the County Engineer's Office would report back regarding countywide unmaintained
drainage systems and roadways.
Commissioner Roberts asked if this would be a one-time waiver of the policy and if an (MSTU) would have to be established for all future canal maintenance.
County Engineer George T. Webb explained that Commissioner Newell had requested that an MSTU be established for this particular area. As part of the future
report on unmaintained drainage systems and roadways, the establishment of an MSTU would be an option. Some canals had very few residents, and the
maintenance costs could be such that it would be inappropriate to set up an MSTU. Commissioner Aaronson contended that a policy issue should be discussed
at a workshop.
UPON CALL FOR A VOTE, the motion carried 7-0.
Mr. Weisman said that an item would be placed on a workshop agenda whenever the County Engineer had completed the report. Commissioner Newell said the
board had discussion on the issue approximately eight months ago, and Mr. Webb was to have reported back with a breakdown of costs and projects. Mr. Webb
said that staff was focusing on the areas where maintenance had been performed by some governmental body. Afterwards the focus would be on the areas where
there had never been governmental maintenance.

AMENDMENT 2 TO THE ADEQUATE PUBLIC FACILITIES AGREEMENT WITH BOCA TECHNOLOGY CENTER LLC. FOR BLUE LAKE, LTD.
THE CITY OF BOCA RATON HAS CONTRACTED TO PURCHASE A LARGE PORTION OF THE BLUE LAKE PROPERTY WITH ASSOCIATED
DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS. THIS WILL SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE THE INTENSITY OF THE BLUE LAKE PROPERTY AND REDUCE THE ROAD
IMPROVEMENTS NECESSARY TO MEET THE TRAFFIC PERFORMANCE STANDARDS ORDINANCE. THIS AMENDMENT REFLECTS THE
REDUCED INTENSITY AND ASSOCIATED ROAD IMPROVEMENTS. (AMENDS R-99-1210-D) APPROVED 9-12-2000
MOTION to approve the agreement. Motion by Commissioner McCarty and seconded by Commissioner Aaronson.
PUBLIC COMMENT:
Ed McJobian, president of the Boca Del Mar Wolverine Homeowners Association, said that Blue Lake, Ltd. was originally responsible for approximately $26
million in road improvements. The City of Boca Raton purchased a large portion of the Blue Lake property but had not a decided how the land would be used,
although there had been discussions of a library, golf course, or sports facility. He objected to the county paying for any road improvements.
County Engineer Webb responded that the city did not have any firm plans for the property and was aware that it would be responsible for any improvements.
The improvements would have to meet the Traffic Performance Standards. Commissioner McCarty added that the city purchased the property via a bond issue,
which restricted its use to civic or government purposes that generated very little traffic. Any entity that generated traffic would have to pay for its portion of
the impact to the roads, she said.
Mr. Webb explained that the amendment was to the adequate public facilities agreement "for" Blue Lake, Ltd., instead of "with" Blue Lake, Ltd. Assistant
County Attorney Marlene R. Everitt said that a faxed copy of the signed agreement had been received and the originals were to be delivered later today. She
recommended that the agreement be approved, subject to the receipt of the original signed documents.
AMENDED MOTION to reflect that the agreement was for Blue Lake, Ltd. and that approval was subject to the receipt of the original signed
documents. The maker and seconder agreed to the amended motion. Upon call for a vote, the motion carried 7-0.
6.F.3. DIRECTION TO SUBMIT GRANT APPLICATIONS (IN PRIORITY ORDER) TO THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION FOR THE
MATCHING COUNTY INCENTIVE GRANT APPLICATION PROGRAM. THE RECOMMENDED LIST OF PRIORITIES IS INCLUDED IN THE
BACKUP TO THE ITEM. APPROVED 9-12-2000
Commissioner Masilotti noted that staff had recommended eight road projects. He commented that there were no funds in the budget nor were there matching
funds available from the area development community for the State Road 7 and Forest Hill Boulevard overpass project. He requested that the project be moved
to the bottom of the list until matching funds could be acquired and so that the other projects could move forward. Mr. Masilotti called attention to the Burns
Road from Military Trail to Alternate A1A and the Burns Road from Garden Road to Prosperity Farms Road projects, noting that Burns road was a municipal-owned road. He asked if municipal roads would be included in the county's funding cycle before county roads were approved.
County Engineer George Webb explained that the state instituted the Mobility 2000 Program this year. It provided grants to counties to improve transportation
facilities that were located on or relieved congestion on the state highway system. Municipalities could apply through their county.
Commissioner Marcus reported that during the Metropolitan Planning Organization meeting, all participating municipalities had been asked to submit road
projects to the county. The state program had a very limited pool of funds for which Broward, Indian River, Martin, Palm Beach, and St. Lucie counties would
be competing. She stressed that the county needed to ensure that the projects it submitted had very strong criteria. She noted that the match for the Blue Heron
reliever did not exist in the Five-Year Road Program because it was actually the Northlake Boulevard reliever that was designed to relieve traffic on Northlake
Boulevard and it was an expensive project. She did not want the Blue Heron reliever included if it was not going to meet state criteria. She suggested that the
Blue Heron reliever be moved down if it was going to be retained on the list. Ms. Marcus proposed that the Forest Hill Boulevard and State Road 7 overpass be
added to the Five-Year Program in December of the fifth year for the beginning of the matching funds cycle. Ms. Marcus recommended that the Burns Road
projects be combined because the improvements would relieve three state roads.
Commissioner McCarty said she wanted to clarify that the funds for Okeechobee Boulevard from State Road 7 to the Florida Turnpike would not come out of
the general road fund. Commissioner Roberts explained that she and Commissioner Masilotti would contribute $1.2 million for the project with the remainder
to come from the property owners.
Ms. McCarty commented that it was her understanding that the traffic volume noted for the Burns Road from Garden Road to Prosperity Farms Road project
was unrealistic because it did not take into account the developments that had pulled permits in the area. Mr. Webb responded that the traffic figures under the
current volume were actual field traffic counts during the last six months. As a result of the development, the majority of the traffic would be on Burns Road
from Military Trail to Alternate A1A. Ms. McCarty said that more data was needed regarding the area developments and their traffic volumes.
Commissioner McCarty stated her willingness to discuss the addition of the Forest Hill Boulevard and State Road 7 overpass to the Five-Year Road Program.
She did not want to make a commitment to that project being included in the fifth year until consideration was given to all of the roads. Ms. McCarty wanted
the Blue Heron reliever to remain on the list because the county had the opportunity to recoup more funds.
Mr. Webb commented that:
Commissioner Marcus asked if Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) had to abide by the project ranking submitted by the county. Mr. Webb said the
approval would be done by FDOT's local district who informed him that the projects would be considered in the order presented. There was approximately $37
million available for the program. He had been unable to get data from Broward County as to their proposed projects. St. Lucie County would apply for $11
million for projects in Port St. Lucie, which required $20 million in matching funds that St. Lucie County did not have budgeted or identified, however.
Commissioner Marcus asked if the Comprehensive Plan allowed for 13 lanes at the Forest Hill Boulevard and State Road 7 intersection. Mr. Webb said staff
was looking into that for he was unsure if it did. She asked why the traffic count was so low when Burns Road east of Alternate A1A was very busy. Mr.
Webb responded that the traffic count did not include the section between Alternate A1A and Garden Road because it was already built out to five lanes. Ms.
Marcus said that the intersection at Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center consisted of two lanes and the congestion level was high.
Commissioner Newell asked about the status of the widening of Prosperity Farms Road. Mr. Webb said he did not believe there was money in the Five-Year
Program for Prosperity Farms Road. Mr. Newell asked why the road was designed for five lanes if there was no money for the project. Mr. Webb replied that
the board had decided to build three lanes for Prosperity Farms Road on the segment north of Northlake Boulevard. It was designed for three lanes with the
potential for an ultimate five lanes. Prosperity Farms Road consisted of five lanes to the south of PGA Boulevard. Mr. Newell asserted that if Prosperity Farms
Road north of PGA Boulevard were five lanes traffic would be relieved within the entire area. Commissioner Marcus explained that the Village of North Palm
Beach had asked the board many years ago to build three lanes on Prosperity Farms Road. The road was constructed at three lanes with the ability to add two
lanes when the traffic warranted it. The additional lanes were not curently needed at the section from Northlake Boulevard to Burns Road, she said. Mr.
Newell suggested that data be submitted for the entire length of Prosperity Farms Road.
PUBLIC COMMENT:
Hugo Unruh, representative for GL Homes, said that in comparing the current volume with the current capacity the Boynton Beach Boulevard project was under
capacity. If the projects that were approved for construction were taken into consideration, the Boynton Beach Boulevard project would be over capacity,
however. Part of the intent of the grant program was to encourage private sector partnership, which was what his client was trying to accomplish on Boynton
Beach Boulevard. His client had committed to a funding match in excess of 50 percent. The new projected cost of the four-lane roadway that was designed to
an ultimate six-lane section was $8 million, plus right-of-way. His client committed to deliver $1 million of right-of-way and retention at no cost to the county or
state, and $4 million towards the match that equated to a 55 percent match.
Mr. Unruh requested that the Forest Hill Boulevard and State Road 7 overpass project be moved to the bottom of the list because it did not have matching funds.
In putting together the proposal for Boynton Beach Boulevard, the matter was originally proposed to be placed on the agenda for the last meeting in September
but was placed on today's agenda instead. They had to get cost estimates sooner than anticipated and came up with a $3.07 million match grant request. He
asked that the request be modified to $4.07 million in refinement of their cost estimate. The transportation outreach program was another program, and it was
more attuned to larger cost projects. There were $100 million available every year to the state for that program, he said. FDOT would receive the requested
projects and submit them to Tallahassee. Afterwards, it would basically be a lobbying effort to get the projects funded. No matching funds were required.
Commissioner Masilotti noted that no other tax dollars would go into the Forest Hill Boulevard and State Road 7 overpass project except those impact fees and
contributions from the developers.
Lauren Furtado, representative of the Palm Beach Gardens City Council, commented that in 1993 during the North County planning forum, the county pushed
for the Eastward Ho! philosophy and the city had embraced it. The city had been successful in keeping development east of the Florida Turnpike corridor. As a
result, the city had a huge number of projects waiting to begin. In order to be able to handle the traffic on PGA Boulevard and the impending construction of the
flyover, it was necessary not only to widen Burns Road from west of Alternate A1A, but to start at the eastern end and work west. Ms. Furtado concurred with
Commissioner Marcus that the current traffic volume and capacity figures were low for Burns Road. She asked the board to move forward with the item as
suggested by Commissioner Marcus.
Commissioner Masilotti commented that if the Burns Road projects were combined there might be a lesser chance of the state approving them. Separation of the
projects created a higher probability of getting at least one approved this year with the worst case scenario that the other would be approved two years from
now. Mr. Webb said the board had the option to combine the Burns Road projects or leave them separate. The traffic counts had been taken the last part of
1999 and the peak season of 2000.
Dan Clark, City of Palm Beach Gardens Engineer, commented that:
- Traffic was becoming a critical issue in the northern part of the county.
- From Northlake Boulevard to the county line there were all sorts of growth and some specific challenges.
- Burns Road was one of the challenges.
- The grant application was viewed as an opportunity to partner with the county to make improvements in the northern part of the county.
- Burns Road ran east and west from Military Trail to Prosperity Farms Road.
- The next major east-west corridor was PGA Boulevard.
- The city and the county had discussed designating PGA Boulevard as a Constrained Roadway at a Lower Level of Service (CRALLS).
- Military Trail was the western boundary of Burns Road and was a state road as was Alternate A1A, which cuts through the center of Burns Road and the city.
- There was a significant amount of development occurring within the city at the end of Burns Road near Prosperity Farms Road.
- The traffic associated with that development had not been included in the count identified in the agenda item.
- In the work that was done for the CRALLS, it had been determined that the traffic on the eastern end of Burns Road would be approximately 17,000 trips per
day, which would put it over the level of service criteria in 2006-2007. It was expected to be 20,000 trips per day by 2010.
- The city expected to have the bid on the eastern end of Burns Road out by October 1, 2000, with construction to begin around the middle of December.
Construction for the western end was to begin approximately April 1, 2001.
- The city had committed the funds for the project.
- The city requested that the county combine the Burns Road projects or allow them to be back to back and to move them up on the list.
Commissioner Marcus questioned Mr. Unruh's comment that approved projects for Boynton Beach Boulevard already required a capacity increase. Mr. Webb
said projects had been approved that would increase traffic on Boynton Beach Boulevard, which required a capacity increase.
MOTION to submit the grant applications and to rank the projects in the order of Okeechobee Boulevard, Glades Road, Congress Avenue, combine
the Burns Road projects, Boynton Beach Boulevard, Blue Heron reliever, and remove Forest Hill Boulevard and State Road 7 overpass. Motion by
Commissioner Roberts and seconded by Commissioner McCarty.
Commissioner McCarty suggested that the Burns Road projects be ranked third. Commissioner Roberts noted that Congress Avenue was basically funded and
the county would be able to take that money and use it for another project that needed additional funds, such as Glades Road or Okeechobee Boulevard.
SUBSTITUTE MOTION to submit the grant applications and to rank the projects in the order of Okeechobee Boulevard, Glades Road, Burns Road
from Military Trail to Alternate A1A, Burns Road from Garden Road to Prosperity Farms Road, Congress Avenue, Blue Heron, Boynton Beach
Boulevard, and Forest Hill Boulevard and State Road 7 overpass. Motion by Commissioner Marcus and seconded by Commissioner Masilotti.
Commissioner Masilotti asked if the City of Palm Beach Gardens wanted the Burns Road projects combined. Commissioner Marcus stated that she was of the
opinion that the city wanted the projects combined.
SECOND SUBSTITUTE MOTION to submit the grant applications and to rank the projects in the order of Okeechobee Boulevard, Glades Road,
combine the Burns Road projects, Congress Avenue, Boynton Beach Boulevard, Blue Heron reliever from Military Trail to Garden Road, and Forest
Hill Boulevard and State Road 7 overpass. Motion by Commissioner Aaronson and seconded by Commissioner Masilotti.
Commissioner Masilotti said he would support the addition of Forest Hill Boulevard and State Road 7 overpass to raise the area residents' awareness of the
intersection problem. Commissioner McCarty commented that she did not want to support projects that did not have identified matching funds.
AMENDMENT TO THE SECOND SUBSTITUTE MOTION that submission of a grant application for the Forest Hill Boulevard and State Road 7
overpass was contingent upon matching funds being identified for the project. The maker and seconder agreed to the amended motion.
Commissioner Lee asked how the current volumes and capacity were verified for the Blue Heron reliever. Mr. Webb explained there was a lot of growth in the
area. By the time the reliever road had been constructed, the 48,500 current volume would have increased to 50,000 on Blue Heron Boulevard making it in
violation of capacity. He noted that instead of trying to project the traffic count for three years, staff had reported the current volume.
(CLERK'S NOTE: Commissioner McCarty left the meeting.)
Commissioner Lee said that the Blue Heron reliever had a higher priority than Burns Road from Garden Road to Prosperity Farms Road and she would not
support the motion. Commissioner Aaronson stated that it was more cost efficient to combine the Burns Road projects. Mr. Webb clarified that seven projects
would be submitted for grants.
UPON CALL FOR A VOTE, the motion carried 5-1. Commissioner Lee opposed. Commissioner McCarty absent.

Commissioner Lee noted that Daniel Essex had submitted a card but was not present. The card contained comments regarding assisted living facilities being
constructed in Delray Garden Estates in violation of existing code. Commissioner Marcus asked if Mr. Essex had to be present for the board to discuss the
matter. Commissioner Aaronson recommended allowing Mr. Essex until the end of the Matters by the Public item to appear. For continuation of this item see

8.C. RENAME GUN CLUB ROAD TO RICHARD B. WILLE BOULEVARD. DISCUSSED 9-12-2000
Andrew Bilardello, Sheriff's Office employee, requested that Gun Club Road between Congress Avenue and Kirk Road be renamed Richard Wille Boulevard in
honor of former Sheriff Richard B. Wille for his exemplary service.
Commissioner Aaronson said that in view of the upcoming sheriff's election in which former Sheriff Wille was endorsing one of the candidates, it would be best
if Mr. Bilardello would postpone his request until after the elections. Commissioner Roberts said although she admired Mr. Wille, she did not wish to name a
road after a person. She did not have a problem with naming the Sheriff's Office complex in honor Mr. Wille.
Commissioner Marcus stated that the board received numerous requests to rename streets. She noted the board had a policy regarding the naming of streets and
buildings. She suggested that County Administration review the policy on the naming of buildings in reference to the suggestion for naming the Sheriff's Office
complex in honor of Mr. Wille.

8.D. STUDENTS WORKING AGAINST TOBACCO (SWAT) COMPLAINT ABOUT TOBACCO ADVERTISING TO YOUTHS. DISCUSSED WITH
DIRECTION 9-12-2000
Sarah Spence, coordinator for Students Working Against Tobacco (SWAT), said her group did a survey on how aggressively the tobacco industry was targeting
youths. Jason Jones (sp), Casey Tynen (sp), and Dwayne Spence (sp) reported on the results from their random visits to stores countywide. They requested the
board adopt an ordinance making it mandatory for tobacco products to be placed behind the counters, out of easy access of youths, and a proclamation
declaring April 6, 2001, as Kick Butts Day.
Commissioner Marcus complimented the members of SWAT for their efforts. She asked the County Attorney's Office to report back on an ordinance making it
mandatory for tobacco products to be placed behind the counters out of easy access of youths. Commissioner Aaronson commended the members and pledged
his support of their efforts. Commissioner Roberts stated that she would sponsor a proclamation for Kick Butts Day. Commissioner Newell reported that
Orange County had an ordinance similar to what was requested by SWAT. He recommended the County Attorney's Office consider the restriction of tobacco
advertisements on the outside of buildings.
No backup submitted.
8.E. WHEELCHAIR AREA BLOCKED IN COMMISSION CHAMBER. DISCUSSED 9-12-2000
Ed McJobian, president of the Boca Del Mar Wolverine Homeowners Association, said that on September 5, 2000, he attended a budget meeting and pointed
out to the members of the board that a trash can was in the section that was reserved for speakers in wheelchairs. Currently two chairs were there with the trash
can. There was a sign that read reserved for wheelchairs only, he said. Mr. McJobian questioned the board's sincerity regarding its concern for the disabled
when the section reserved for wheelchairs was being used for storage of chairs and trash cans.

8.F. DISPUTED MEETING WITH COMMISSIONER NEWELL. DISCUSSED 9-12-2000
Ed McJobian, president of the Boca Del Mar Wolverine Homeowners Association, alleged that during the February 1, 2000, BCC meeting Commissioner Newell
had made a false statement about having met with him to discuss issues. Mr. McJobian said that Commissioner Newell had failed to return two telephone calls
over a two month period. Also, it had taken two months for Commissioner Newell to produce his appointment calendar as requested. Upon review of the
calendar, there was no entry of a meeting, nor did Mr. Newell's secretary recall a meeting, he said. Commissioner Newell contended there was a meeting a few
months ago during which he met with Mr. McJobian outside of the commission chambers and they had discussed the issues. Mr. McJobian said that he did not
recall that meeting.
No backup submitted.
8.G. FLORIDA POWER & LIGHT PLANTS CLOSED. DISCUSSED 9-12-2000
Rosa Durando remarked about the closing of two plants and a contract with Florida Power & Light (FPL). She recalled her initial opposition to the plants and
the assurance by the county commission that the county would not be obligated to redeem the bonds associated with the plants. FPL customers would pay for
the project failure, she said. Ms. Durando informed the board that she had never received a copy of the requested FPL storage plan for its flammable fuel, wood
products, and tires. She stated that fires had occurred every year at great expense. Ms. Durando contended that the plan for the plants was bad from the
beginning because there never would have been sufficient quality fuel and the contract with FPL was faulty. Commissioner Roberts noted that the closing of the
plants stopped the pollution they were causing and that the public would not have to bear the expense of the plant closings.
No backup submitted.
8.H. ADULT ENTERTAINMENT ESTABLISHMENTS. DISCUSSED 9-12-2000
Mike Scherer said there was a countywide problem with the adult entertainment businesses. There were photo and modeling businesses operating under false
pretenses. There was an establishment on Forest Hill Boulevard near Congress Avenue that had been forced to close with the assistance of former Sheriff
Richard Wille. The facility remained closed during Mr. Wille's tenure but was later reopened. Despite much protest from Mr. Scherer and others the facility
continued to operate. He had written the sheriff and county commissioners and no one had answered his correspondence except Commissioner Roberts. Mr.
Scherer called attention to the grandfather clause within the existing adult entertainment ordinance, which allowed the majority of the existing businesses to
operate although they were not in compliance with the ordinance. Mr. Scherer suggested the board establish a sunset ordinance that would require those
businesses to come into compliance.
Commissioner Marcus said that the board had worked on the adult entertainment ordinance for a couple of years. The county had worked with the sheriff and
the state attorney's offices to strengthen the law regarding adult entertainment.
Commissioner Newell commented that the state had the authority to investigate and determine if the facilities were properly licensed. The sheriff and state
attorney's offices would shut down a business that was illegal as long as they had a witness that wanted to file a complaint against the operation of the business.
The county had done a review, and the occupational licenses from the tax collector's office were properly issued. He recommended that Mr. Scherer utilize a
witness or contact the Florida Department of Health, which regulated massage therapists.
Commissioner Roberts cautioned against placing the board in legal jeopardy because of the grandfather clause within the existing ordinance. County Attorney
Denise Dytrych stated that considering all of the case law that had come down from the U.S. Supreme Court and other courts, the board had adopted an
ordinance that was as stringent as possible. The grandfather clause was not set in concrete if a court determined otherwise and her office was monitoring that.
Mr. Scherer called attention to the adult entertainment ordinance adopted by Pinellas County, and Commissioner Aaronson suggested that Mr. Scherer meet with
the County Attorney to discuss the matter.
No backup submitted.
8.B. COMMUNITY RESIDENTIAL HOME BEING CONSTRUCTED AT DELRAY GARDEN ESTATES. DISCUSSED 9-12-2000
(CLERK'S NOTE: See Page 43 for earlier discussion.)
Commissioner Lee noted that Mr. Essex had not returned. Commissioner Aaronson said that:
- Mr. Essex was concerned about a community residential home being constructed in Delray Gardens Estates.
- Commissioner Aaronson had sent a letter to Mr. Essex and other area residents in reference to the Jewish Association for Residential Care (JARC)
community residential home being constructed in Delray Gardens Estates.
- Mr. Aaronson had met with Assistant County Attorney Barbara Alterman and County Zoning Director William Whiteford regarding the matter and asked
them to review the permitting process because of concerns expressed by the area residents.
- Ms. Alterman's report was enclosed with the letter to the residents.
- The report stated that the permitting requirements were researched for the JARC Community Residential Home.
- In accordance with Florida Statutes Section 419.001, a home with six or fewer residents licensed by the Department of Children and Family Services as a
community residential home shall be deemed a single family unit, a non-commercial residential use.
- The same section also stated that a community residential home shall be allowed in a single or multi-family zoning without approval by local government,
provided that said home shall not be located within a radius of 1,000 feet of another existing community residential home. In addition, a community
residential home is subject to the same laws and ordinances applicable to other non-commercial residential family units in the area in which it is established.
- Zoning and Building staff had stated that the permit issued to the facility met all code requirements.
- The residents were contacted by telephone as well as letter.
- The residents claimed that Commissioner McCarty never responded to them by telephone but Ms. McCarty had a log of calls to them.
- The issue was about a group of people who did not want the community residential facility in their neighborhood.
- The County Attorney's Office had advised that JARC community residential home was not in violation of the zoning code.
- Commissioner Aaronson was of the opinion that the issue was closed.
- The community residential home was very worthwhile and its residents were not a detriment to anyone.

recommended that the standard procedure for board appointments be followed. Commissioner Marcus asked if Commissioner Roberts had any
recommendations. She said it would be helpful to appoint someone who was familiar with the process and was willing to serve.

10.C. COMMISSIONER WARREN H. NEWELL
10.C.1. RECONFIRMATION OF BOARD POLICY REGARDING AIRCRAFT AT PALM BEACH COUNTY PARK AIRPORT LANTANA. APPROVED 9-12-2000
Commissioner Newell commented that Palm Beach County Park Airport Lantana (PBCPAL) was operated by the county with a fixed base operator, Florida Air
Motive. Mr. Newell recommended that the board reconfirm its position that no jet or heavy aircraft land at PBCPAL due to the proximity of the residents who
live in the area. Airports Director Bruce Pelly informed the board that the operator had been contending to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) that the
county policy that prohibited aircraft that were jets or over a weight limit of 12,500 pounds from operating at PBCPAL was improper and illegal. The Aircraft
Owners and Pilots Association had written the FAA questioning the legality of the county policy. Mr. Pelly said that staff was looking into the possibility that the
airport operator was in violation of the lease. Aircraft operators were notified of the policy and were fined when found in violation. He asked that the board
support staff in doing whatever was deemed necessary to keep the policy in full force and effect.
MOTION that the board is fully supportive of the current policy restricting the size, weight, and type of aircraft operating at PBCPAL. Motion by
Commissioner Newell and seconded by Commissioner Roberts.
Commissioner Marcus recommended that a letter be sent to the operator advising him that the board reconfirmed its position restricting the size, weight, and
type of aircraft operating at PBCPAL. Commissioner Roberts suggested that the letter also be sent to the FAA. Commissioner Aaronson said that the board
supported staff in their efforts to keep the policy in full force and effect.
UPON CALL FOR A VOTE, the motion carried 5-0. Commissioners McCarty and Masilotti absent.

10.C.2. CLARIFICATION OF THE EXISTENCE OF THE MARITIME MUSEUM AND THE MARINE ACADEMY AT PALM BEACH LAKES COMMUNITY
HIGH SCHOOL. DISCUSSED 9-12-2000
Commissioner Newell noted there had been newspaper articles regarding the Maritime Museum. He wanted to ensure that the public and board recognized there
was a marine academy that operated at Palm Beach Lakes Community High School that had been very effective. He did not want people to confuse the two
entities.
No backup submitted.
10.C.3. REPORT ON THE 10 MOST DANGEROUS INTERSECTIONS COUNTYWIDE. DISCUSSED 9-12-2000
Commissioner Newell said that about six months ago County Engineer George Webb was asked to report back on the 10 most dangerous intersections
countywide and what could be done to make them safer. He asked that staff check on the status of that report.
Commissioner Roberts said that the board had asked to have a matrix whereby the status of requests could be monitored. County Administrator Weisman said
the matrix had been established and it contained an expected time frame for each request. The matrix had been distributed to the commissioners' offices and it
was also located on the county's web site. Commissioner Aaronson stated the request for the intersection data was included on the matrix.
Mr. Webb notified the board that his staff had supplied the information regarding the major intersections but he had not made time to forward that information to
the board. Of all the accidents occurring at major intersections, 50 percent were due to someone running into the back of another vehicle. Some of the other
accidents were caused by people failing to stop for the red light at traffic signals. Mr. Weisman said the report was listed with a due date of September 30, 2000.
No backup submitted.
10.C.4. MEDIANS FOR ALL NEW FOUR-LANE ROADS. DISCUSSED 9-12-2000
Commissioner Newell stated that staff wanted to reaffirm the board's position of providing raised medians on thoroughfare roadways for all new corridors to
accommodate ultimate four-lane or wider roadways. A minimum 20-foot median shall be provided. This would facilitate the need for a wider corridor of a
minimum 100 feet in width for all such future road rights-of-way. An 80-foot section would not accommodate a four-lane roadway and a median. The request
was for future corridors to have a 100-foot width to accommodate four-lane sections in order to get away from the two-way left turn lane concept.
County Engineer George Webb said the cost would be paid by the developers because the new roadways typically would be required to be dedicated by them or
paid for by them.
No backup submitted.
(CLERK'S NOTE: Commissioner Aaronson left the meeting.)
10.C.5. REPORT ON AFFORDABLE HOUSING STUDIES. DISCUSSED WITH DIRECTION 9-12-2000
Commissioner Newell noted that the county, in cooperation with Housing and Community Development, had completed two reports in the last couple of years.
One was the Assisted Rental Housing Market Impact Study and the most recent was the affordable housing study showing where the needs were for assisted
living and low- and moderate-income public housing. The reports showed a need for approximately 3,000 units in the next five years countywide. Some of
those units already have been permitted. Mr. Newell wanted to ensure that staff used the two documents to review zoning and finance projects through the
Housing Finance Authority. The reports were done at a cost of approximately $100,000, he said.
Commissioner Roberts noted that the state had done a similar study that included all 67 counties. The state's study showed a need for 15,000 affordable housing
units for the county, which was a significant difference compared to the studies done by the county. She asked that staff explain why there was such a significant
difference. County Administrator Weisman said that a workshop was scheduled for September 19, 2000, at 9:30 a.m. on the affordable housing study. He asked
that Commissioner Roberts submit a copy of the state's report to his office so that it could be included for review for the workshop next Tuesday.
STAFF WAS DIRECTED TO:
- Report back on the significant difference in the additional affordable housing units needed countywide as shown in the state and county affordable housing
studies.

10.F. COMMISSIONER KAREN T. MARCUS
10.F.1. FEDERAL FUNDING OF THE EVERGLADES RESTORATION PLAN. APPROVED 9-12-2000
Commissioner Marcus said she had submitted a memorandum to the commissioners regarding federal funding of the Everglades restoration plan in its current
form as had been worked out in Washington, D.C.
MOTION to consider adoption of a resolution supporting the federal funding of the Everglades restoration plan in its current form. Motion by
Commissioner Marcus, seconded by Commissioner Roberts, and carried 4-0. Commissioners Aaronson, McCarty, and Masilotti absent.
10.F.2. STATUS OF SCHOOL CONCURRENCY. DISCUSSED 9-12-2000
Commissioner Marcus said she had been discussing the status of school concurrency implementation with County Administrator Weisman. She was concerned
that there was not a schedule for the implementation, which already was a year behind. She asked if the matter could be scheduled for an upcoming agenda.
Commissioner Roberts commented that one of the problems with concurrency was the matter of the state legislature passing legislation called Small Schools.
The legislation changed some of the timing and some of the figures from the School Board regarding operation and maintenance. The actual construction costs
probably were not changed. Commissioner Marcus noted that the county could only function under current state law. If the law were changed, the state would
adjust its capital program. The implementation of school concurrency seemed to be running into roadblocks, she said.
Commissioner Roberts said the board needed to work to get school concurrency passed locally, and then work with the legislature to have the unproductive
statute taken off the books. Mr. Weisman informed the board that two commissioners would not be present for the September 26, 2000, meeting.
Commissioner Marcus said the October 17, 2000, meeting would be appropriate to schedule the school concurrency issue.
No backup submitted.
10.G. COMMISSIONER MAUDE FORD LEE
10.G.1. PROCLAMATION DECLARING SEPTEMBER 23, 2000, AS SIR LYNDEN PINDLING DAY. APPROVED 9-12-2000

2000, for the former Prime Minister of the Bahamas, Sir
Lynden Pindling, who had died. She requested approval for a proclamation honoring Sir Lynden Pindling.
MOTION to approve the proclamation honoring Sir Lynden Pindling. Motion by Commissioner Marcus, seconded by Commissioner Roberts and
