Troy Holloway of Gentile, Glas, Holloway, O'Mahoney & Associates, Inc. introduced
developer Royal Tequesta, LLC as a third generation company based in Delaware with
extensive experience. Pictures of some of their completed projects were displayed while
Mr. Holloway advised that a land use change from commercial to medium density
residential would be requested for this townhouse community on 6.03 acres. Council
Member Johnson expressed concern over the project's density, entrance traffic and
affordability for families. Mr. Holloway countered that whereas 18 units per acre was
allowed, the density for this project was just under 12 units per acre. Mr. Holloway
answered Council Member Brandon's question about unit square footage by explaining
that the units were similar but not identical. Council Member Arena also commented on
density but stated that the developer was well represented by Gentile, Glas, et. al. Vice
Mayor Tom Paterno said that with the entrance on U.S. Highway One, a right turn lane
was very important and he expressed concern about water runoff; Mayor Brennan agreed.
Mr. Holloway described each unit as having a two -car garage, then opined that the current
commercial zoning would result in more traffic than the residential zoning that would be
requested. Council Member Arena thought the project was beneficial to the residents.

wage and wanted to know the financial impact of converting the position to full time. Acting
Village Manager Weinand offered to obtain this data for review then invited Fire Chief
Trube to address the matter. Chief Trube briefly explained the Interim program, cost of
gear, staffing and competing employers; Manager Weinand added that the program
worked well when first introduced because due to the economy at that time, not many
places were hiring. Chief Trube reviewed the number of employees per shift and Vice
Mayor Paterno wanted to retain the flexibility to change with the times. Consensus of
Council was to revisit the Interim Firefighter program at the next Council meeting. Council
Member Johnson questioned the necessity of printing and mailing Smoke Signals and
asked whether it could be included in the water bills. Mayor Brennan cautioned that many
residents do not access the internet; she suggested that distribution to unincorporated
areas be discontinued and Manager Weinand advised the annual cost savings would be
$6000.00. Council Member Arena suggested consultation with the Town of Juno Beach
regarding their newsletter costs.
MOTION: Council Member Johnson moved approval of Contracts Signed by Manager
Under $25, 000, seconded by Vice Mayor Paterno; motion carried unanimously 5-0.

a future meeting.
9. Approve Purchase of Two (2) New Vehicles for the Fire -Rescue Department to
Replace the 2000 Chevrolet Silverado 2500, and the 2002 Dodge Durango
Vice Mayor Paterno asked about purchasing one vehicle now and the other in the future.
Chief Trube advised that the pick-up truck was inoperable, outlined his plan for exchanging
vehicle use within the department but adhered to his recommendation. The Vice Mayor
inquired about a once available spare vehicle but Manager Weinand advised that it was
given to the police department for their Citizens on Patrol program. He further explained
that vehicle purchases had previously been postponed which was why this request was
for two vehicles. Discussion continued on vehicle sharing and purchase options.
MOTION. Vice Mayor Paterno moved approval of the Silverado purchase only, seconded
by Council Member Johnson, motion carried unanimously 5-0.
10. Approve Revised Purchasing Manual
Vice Mayor Paterno asked what revisions were and Village Attorney Keith Davis replied
that for consistency, a purchase order was required for purchases under $10,000 whether
there was a contract or not and language was added regarding prompt payment.
MOTION: Vice Mayor Paterno moved approval of the Revised Purchasing Manual;
seconded by Council Member Arena; motion carried unanimously 5-0.

COMMUNICATIONS FROM CITIZENS
Mr. Darrell Pastuch of 391 Riverside Drive spoke about Village expenditures and a recent
Inspector General's report. Marilyn Muller of 324 Leigh Road had left the meeting but on
her behalf, Deputy Village Clerk Mary Ann Grieser stated that the residents on Leigh Road
wished to have a speed bump on each end of their short street. Mayor Brennan retorted
that the issue had been thoroughly explored and speed bumps would not work in The
Village.
COMMUNICATIONS FROM COUNCIL
Council Member Johnson was appreciative of all the work that went into the recent Holiday
festivals as well as decorations around The Village. Council Member Brandon wished that
everyone would enjoy the season. Council Member Arena thanked Public Works Director
Doug Chambers for the holiday decorations and wished all a Merry Christmas and Happy
New Year. Vice Mayor Paterno wished all a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays and
hoped all appreciated their families; he recognized the volunteers in the community that
made Tequesta so special. Mayor Brennan thanked Village staff for their hard work, the
amazing volunteers in The Village and the residents who attended the Council meetings.
STANDING REPORTS
Village Aftomey
Village Attorney Keith Davis announced the conclusion of the recent Inspector General's
audit report in November in which some technical issues were found but the overriding
findings of the report showed no wrongdoing, corruption, fraud or mismanagement; the
Village's controls and processes were adequate. This was the fourth audit he had been
through for various municipalities recently and something was always found; the process
was designed to make a good system better. He fondly recalled his youth in Tequesta

FURTHER PROVIDING A BALLOT TITLE AND A BALLOT SUMMARY IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FLORIDA LAW;
PROVIDING FOR THE PROPOSED REFERENDUM QUESTION LANGUAGE;
AND PUTTING SAID REFERENDUM QUESTION TO A VOTE OF THE
ELECTORS OF THE VILLAGE AT THE MARCH 12, 2019 MUNICIPAL
ELECTION; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE; AND FOR OTHER
PURPOSES.
Village Attorney Keith Davis read Ordinance 22-18 title into the record and Mayor Brennan
introduced Frank D'Ambra for a report. Mr. D'Ambra summarized the progress of plans
for the Community Center, and then announced a new possible location as Constitution
Park. The design team felt strongly that Constitution Park was the best site and
recommended withdrawal of the March referendum to ensure all viable possibilities were
thoroughly evaluated. Lew Hayward of 27 Shay Place advised that he was initially
unaware of the planned building, which would especially affect him and his neighbors. He
summarized a meeting with Council Member Arena and Frank DAmbra about potential
ways to mitigate the impact of such a facility on neighboring properties. Pat Watkins of
167 River Drive spoke about location, size and consideration for neighboring properties.
Council Member Brandon agreed that if some residents were not yet aware of the project,
it was best to wait. Mr. D'Ambra said that the committee would persevere and wanted
both the best location and facility. When Council Member Johnson asked about a timeline
for completion, Mr. D'Ambra estimated two years. Though Vice Mayor Paterno supported
withdrawal of the referendum and was in favor of the Constitution Park site (and another
one he would disclose in the future), he felt that progress was needed. Attorney Davis
explained that The Village went through the Consultant Competitive Negotiation Act
Process to retain an architect, however since the Request For Proposal was for a specific
vacant lot, he would need to investigate what a change of location entailed. Council
Member Arena reminded that in 2017, Council approved funds for research by him and
Parks and Recreation Director Greg Corbitt who visited recreation centers for ideas; he
stated that the committee worked diligently to gather information and was happy to meet
with residents about any concerns. Vice Mayor Paterno appreciated that after all the work
done to date, Mr. D'Ambra would suggest postponement. Mayor Brennan thanked Council
Member Arena, Director Greg Corbitt and Frank D'Ambra for their hard work and diligence.
MOTION: Vice Mayor Paterno moved denial of Ordinance 22-18 moving forward as a
referendum; seconded by Council Member Arena; motion carfied unanimously 5-0.
ANY OTHER MATTERS
Though the Village Manager search was to commence on January 2, 2019, Mayor
Brennan suggested postponement due to the upcoming election and observed that a
lesson learned from the prior search was swifter action on the more promising resumes.
She said she noticed reduced drama and increased camaraderie in staff and asked
whether Council would consider a postponement until April 1, 2019. This made sense to
Council Member Arena, and Acting Village Manager Weinand offered that he was
available to continue in the position except for the week of March 10, 2019. Although Vice
Minutes — Regular 12/13/18
Page 8
Mayor Paterno felt that Mr. Weinand was doing a great job, he did not want to wait but
Council Member Johnson did not mind waiting. Council Member Brandon said she felt
torn but did not see the need to wait. Mayor Brennan added that she did not want to
disrupt the momentum she observed lately. Attorney Davis and Mayor Brennan discussed
voting since the search was to commence before the next Regular Council Meeting, then
Mayor Brennan requested a Special Council meeting for a vote on the issue.
Council Members Johnson and Brandon wished to discuss the topic of golf carts on the
road. Police Chief Gus Medina and Lieutenant Pike spoke about safety, state statutes,
cart occupants and other related hazards. Council Member Johnson reiterated her request
to discuss this at a Workshop. Vice Mayor Paterno mentioned he noticed young kids
driving golf carts and Lieutenant Pike assured that the police department enforced this.
Mayor Brennan did not feel a Workshop discussion would be productive but as different
questions were being raised, agreed to discuss again at the Workshop in February.

CALL TO ORDER AND ROLL CALL
The meeting was called to order at 6:00 PM. A roll call was taken by Deputy Clerk, Mary Ann
Grieser. Present were: Mayor Abby Brennan, Vice -Mayor Tom Paterno, Council Member Vince
Arena and Council Member Laurie Brandon. Council Member Kristi Johnson was absent.
I . Community Center Update by the Negotiation Committee Chair Frank D'Ambra
Resident, Mr. Frank D'Ambra informed Council of a recent meeting between the Negotiation
Committee and residents who resided in the immediate area of the proposed Community Center.
During the meeting, pros and cons were discussed as well as suggestions and ideas from Village
residents. Mr. D'Ambra revealed to Council the results from several surveys, including a recent
one conducted at TequestaFest.
Mr. Greg Corbitt, Director of Parks and Recreation, offered his experience in speaking with
residents about the proposed Community Center. He felt that the vast majority of feedback was
very positive with many people asking how soon the center could be built.
Mayor Brennan asked the committee members to remember to poll the older residents in order
to have feedback from all ages that reside within the Village.
Mr. D'Ambra advised keeping Village residents as the main users of the facility, with the ability
to have occasional guests.
Vice Mayor Paterno asked how much the facility would cost, as he had heard several different
cost estimates. Mr. D'Ambra answered that the architects were currently speaking to contractors
in order to zone in on a close estimate. Currently the price range for such a building was
approximately $230 per square foot. This translated to just over $5 million dollars based upon
the current drawing; including exercise equipment and furniture.
Vice Mayor Paterno preferred to have the cost estimates for review, prior to deciding on whether
or not the topic should go to a referendum.
Attorney Keith Davis reminded Council that any games such as Bingo were highly regulated by
the State. Additionally, if Council wished to regulate access to residents only, there could be no
grants involved. Lastly, Council would need to decide if this was a yes/no vote for the proposed
center or if it would have a bond attached to it.
Council discussed the timeline for replacing the Village's current fire trucks, in relationship to the
costs of building the proposed Community Center. Village Fire Chief James Trube stated that a
Village Council Workshop Minutes
December 3, 2018
Page 2
new ladder truck would cost approximately $1.2-1.3 million and would be needed within the next
yearortwo.
Mrs. Pat Watkins, 167 River Drive, addressed Council and admitted that she had no objection
to the facility. However, she was concerned with having funding available to take care of the
roads and sidewalks that were in need of repairs.
Mr. Chris Quirk, Director of Finance commented that $414,000 had been received this year from
the one -cent sales tax and had already been spent.
Mr. Tom Bradford, 44 Chestnut Trail, opined that there was much work to be done before taking
the referendum to the voters in March of 2019. He believed that outside grants should be utilized
and questioned what would be done with the old recreation center.
Council Member Arena reminded Council of the fact that the project architect would be speaking
to contractors next week in order to obtain estimates on construction costs. He felt that time was
of the essence to at least get the referendum started and move towards a first reading.
Mrs. Marcia Nielson, 94 Beachwood Trail, felt the project was being rushed and had heard some
negative feedback as well. She recommended a survey be sent to every single resident in order
to have all voices heard.
Council Member Arena responded by reminding Council that the project had been in the
discussion phase for almost a year. There had been approximately 20 meetings thus far with
thoughtful discussion and feedback. Additionally, the Constitution Park building was in need of
repairs to walls, roof, electrical, plumbing and more.
Council Member Brandon asked why the referendum needed to be on the March 2019 ballot.
Mr. D'Ambra felt that there was adequate time to gather the pertinent information needed, and
there was simply no reason to delay, as the residents were eager to have it built. Additionally,
if Council waited until August, many residents would not be in town for a vote.
Mr. Chris Quirk reminded Council of rising interest rates when putting together their projected
costs.
Council Member Brandon stated she was agreeable to moving forward with bringing the
referendum to the first reading.
Vice Mayor Paterno disagreed with moving forward at least until cost estimates had been
submitted and reviewed.
Mayor Brennan was agreeable with moving forward to bringing the referendum to a first reading
status, with the understanding that it would not go further, unless Council had the recommended
figures in hand.

2. Discussion on the Police Department Pension Plan and Actuarial Valuation Report
Acting Manager Weinand acknowledged that the Police and Fire pensions must be the same,
and that Fire must now match the 2.35% Police pension increase, regardless of whether other
changes would be made or not. Bonni Jenson of Klausner, Kaufman, Jensen & Levinson
answered questions and offered insight on several of the options available to the Village. Several
different scenarios were discussed with Council in Consensus of moving towards an Executive
Session as soon as possible.
3. Review Inspector General Audit Report Findings and Management Response
Acting Manager Weinand revealed that the Inspector General (IG) had spent many hours over
the past 3 months investigating allegations. In summary, the report stated that the right hand
did not know what the left hand was doing in regards to contract administration, payments and
permitting. There were 21 recommendations within the report, which the Village would adopt
and implement.
4. Discussion on Possible Funding Sources
Mayor Brennan advised looking for funds thru the Palm Beach Planning Organization, which
could possibly help fund the Village's private roads and sidewalks. She believed there were also
other funding opportunities available for the Village, which would be beneficial in funding
upcoming projects. Acting Manager Weinand announced that Mr. Doug Chambers was going
to be part of the Local Mitigation Strategy Board, which helped in planning projects. He promised
to keep all Council Members up to date on future funding sources.

Council Presentation 11-08-2018
Good evening Mayor Brennan, Council and Manager Weinman. The
Community and Recreation Center Design team is excited to present
to you this evening the design concept for the Village of Tequesta's
new Community and Recreation Center. Since the Council approved
moving forward with Phase 1 on September 13t' the team has been
working diligently meeting weekly and at times bi-weekly to produce
the work product you will be reviewing this evening. I want to thank
all the team members - from Parks & Rec, Greg Corbitt, Wendy
Schmidt, Kathleen Worley, Brad Gomberg, Jose Rodriquez., Doug
Chambers, Chief Gustavo Medinaffl Vince Arena and new to the team
Chief Jim Trube along with Christine Merrell and her associates at
REG, for their time, input and dedication. The objective for the Center
is a building that has the inherent flexibility and infrastructure to
meet the needs of the Tequesta community today and well into the
future. To accomplish this goal it was critical that we tap into the
knowledge and expertise of all our departments and this design is
reflective of their input.
While there will be significant community outreach following this
evening's meeting it is important to note that the design you are now
looking at already incorporates input from conversations between
Tequesta residents and Park & Rec staff as well as the completion of
500 surveys consisting of 250 paper surveys completed at Parks & Rec
and another 250 online surveys. The survey asked 20 core questions
but importantly residents also had the opportunity to provide
additional information as to how the center could best serve the
interests of the Tequesta community.
The resulting Center design provides the Village with the capability to
address the multiple needs and interests of our residents from the
youngest amongst us to our valued senior citizens. Children's and
young adult activities will be focused on the first floor while adult and
senior activities will be focused on the second floor.
At last week's workshop Council expressed its concern with respect to
the vulnerability of our servers in the event of a catastrophic event.
As you will recall from our earlier discussions the new community
center features a hardened activity and IT server room that will
enable us to secure our critical IT infrastructure.
As compared to the draft design concept provided to Council at last
week's workshop the design you now have in front of you has been
enhanced with additional elevations, floor dimensions, and widening
of the paved area around the gymnasium to accommodate public
safety vehicles.
Tonight, we want to address any questions Council may have as to the
overall design of the Center. The team plans to roll out the Center
design to the Tequesta community with a large-scale display during
Tequesta-fest, at which REG and various members of the design team
will be present to answer questions and gather additional resident
input. The team would then like to come back to the Council at its
December workshop to share input from Tequesta-fest and seek
Council's thoughts and input.
After Tequesta-fest the Center display at Tequesta-fest will be
transferred to the current Rec Center for continuous resident viewing
and input. Plans are also in the works for community meetings
including weeknight and weekend meetings at Village Hall.

PRESENTATIONS
I a. Community Center Design Presentation by REG Architects
Former Council Member Frank D'Ambra thanked the members of the Community Center
Design committee, summarized the results of a community survey (all supported it),
pointed out some enhancements from the previous concept, and advised on the next
steps. He then introduced Christine Merrill of REG Architects who referred to distributed
materials and reviewed highlights of the project.
Mayor Brennan confirmed that the community center information would be at Tequesta
Fest for residents to review. Council Member Arena thanked Ms. Merrill for her work.
Council Member Brandon asked about the play and wait area and Ms. Merrill explained
that it combined a viewing area for parents and play space for waiting siblings.
When Council Member Johnson asked if the model fit the budget, Mr. DAmbra answered
that the design was scaled down for affordability though future enhancements were
possible. Feedback that Council Member Brandon received questioned a playground in a
parking lot. Mr. D'Ambra advised that it was simply an idea for consideration in an
available space.
After inquiry by Vice Mayor Paterno, Mr. D'Ambra estimated the cost at $5 million. Vice
Mayor Paterno recalled a $3 million estimate and Mr. D'Ambra explained that while $3
million was an estimated cost of the building, an estimate for the entire site was $5 million,
which included equipment. He continued that after community feedback, bids would be

sought but $5 million was a solid estimate. Another concern of Vice Mayor Paterno was
the proximity of the parking lot to the neighboring lot line. Consensus of Council was to
discuss the concept further at the December workshop.

were also forthcoming for use on infrastructure. Mayor Brennan said she expected a
balance between caring for infrastructure and building a recreation center.

16. ORDINANCE 17-18, FIRST READING, AN ORDINANCE OF THE VILLAGE
COUNCIL OF THE VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, FLORIDA, APPROVING A
PROPOSED VILLAGE INITIATED AMENDMENT TO THE VILLAGE'S CHARTER;
WHICH PROPOSED AMENDMENT WOULD REVISE THE CURRENT
REQUIREMENT THAT NO LESS THAN FOUR MEMBERS OF THE VILLAGE
COUNCIL ARE REQUIRED TO VOTE IN FAVOR OF HIRING A VILLAGE
MANAGER AND FIRING A VILLAGE MANAGER, BY REQUIRING NO LESS
THAN THREE MEMBERS OF THE VILLAGE COUNCIL TO TAKE SUCH ACTION;
FURTHER PROVIDING A BALLOT TITLE AND A BALLOR SUMMARY IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FLORIDA LAW; PROVIDING
FOR THE PROPOSED CHARTER AMENDMENT QUESTION LANGUAGE; AND
PUTTING SAID CHARTER AMENDMENT QUESTION TO A VOTE OF THE
ELECTORS OF THE VILLAGE AT THE MARCH 12,2019 MUNICIPAL ELECTION;
PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.
Village Attorney Keith Davis read Ordinance 17-18 title into the record, explained that this
was the first of two readings, was Council's approval of the ballot question and its
proceeding to the Supervisor of Elections for -4 -the March ballot. Mayor Brennan opened
the hearing to Council for comment but there was none. She opened the matter to the
public and former Mayor Pat Watkins of 167 River Drive expressed concern and felt that
a supermajority was good to have in place for such an important position as Village
Manager. Resident Marcia Nielson agreed with Ms. Watkins. Mayor Brennan reported
speaking with another municipal manager who advised against this ordinance; he felt a
good manager was less likely to come to a municipality where the position was prone to
overturning more frequently due to changes in the Council. Mayor Brennan then
expressed her opposition. Council Member Brandon recalled that that point was made at
the last meeting. Vice Mayor Paterno felt that it was very difficult to fire a manager the
Minutes — Regular 11/08/18
Page 9
way things were; if legislation could be changed with three votes, the manager position
should be as well; he mentioned the difficulty in agreeing on a new manager with the
number of votes required. Council Member Johnson was concerned about the potential
of Tequesta losing applicants if the number of votes was changed and was curious about
the number of votes required by other municipalities. Resident Tom Bradford of 44
Chestnut Trail advised that a majority vote was standard and opined that this forced a
manager to work harder. He further suggested that a compromise was for a 3-2 vote on
the Manager's contract every year; Palm Beach Gardens' Council was required to provide
the manager 30 days' notice if anyone wished to consider manager termination. Attorney
Keith Davis explained that amendments could be made that evening and would be voted
on again at the second reading, which still allowed sufficient time. More discussion ensued
Attorney Davis agreed that a supermajority was not the rule in other municipalities. Mayor
Brennan closed the hearing to the Council and again opened it to the public. Carolyn
Schwartz of 360 Venus Avenue asked whether severance changes should be considered
but Mayor Brennan advised that that was a contract issue.
MOTION: Vice Mayor Paterno moved approval of Ordinance 17-18 amended to provide
for a vote of three to hire or fire with a 30 -day termination provision notice; seconded by
Council Member Johnson,- motion carried 5-0.

VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA
WORKSHOP October 29, 2018
CALL TO ORDER AND ROLL CALL
The meeting was called to order at 6:00 PM. A roll call was taken by Assistant to the Village
Clerk, Mary Ann Grieser. Present were: Mayor Abby Brennan, Vice -Mayor Tom Paterno,
Council Member Vince Arena, Council Member Laurie Brandon and Council Member Kristi
Johnson.
1. No Wake Zone Update — Frank D'Arnbra
Mr. Frank D' Ambra, Village of Tequesta resident, updated Council on the No Wake Zone issue.
Three different municipalities, which included Jupiter, Jupiter Inlet Colony and the Village of
Tequesta had residents that were directly affected by the high traffic area known as Jupiter
Narrows.
Council Member Laurie Brandon arrived at 6:03 P.M.
Mr. Frank D'Ambra revealed that a study was needed, however the Fish and Wildlife
Commission (FWC) would not pay for it, leaving the affected municipalities to cover the cost. A
speed reduction proposal was made to the County, and submitted to the FWC from Mayor
Brennan on behalf of the Village. There were concerns regarding safety while maintaining the
natural appearance of the Coral Cove Park area.
Council Member Paterno revealed that he was rethinking his position on the speed reduction of
the Jupiter Narrows area. He was concerned that areas for the Village's recreation boaters were
disappearing.
Mr. Frank D'Ambra revealed that The Federal Bureau of Land Management was supportive of
the speed reduction and was aware of the environmental damage that had occurred over the
last 30 years.
Council Member Paterno believed the expanded parking area along AlA, near Coral Cove, was
a negative factor in the scenario and requested a reduction in off street parking be proposed.
Seasonal speed zones were discussed and Mr. D'Ambra assured Council he would pass along
their concerns.
Mr. Jim Tursi, 104 Yacht Club Place, felt that Council should poll the residents to see if they
were on board with the wake reduction. He felt that facts and statistics should be included in
the decision.

2. Budget Discussion — Capital Spending
Acting Village Manager, Jim Weinand informed Council of several recent personnel and
operational changes which included: leadership changes, freezes on positions, a contract
employee as Acting Village Manager, reducing open positions in Public Works,and a reduction
in the planner position in the Building Department. He recommended not continuing to pay a
public affairs consultant, as it was a large ticket item that was not necessary. Manager Weinand
suggested splitting the Managers salary between the Utility and General Budget as per the
Village Charter language. Additionally, Manager Weinand revealed that there would be
approximately $201,000 coming in from FEMA from prior hurricane costs. Manager Weinand
also believed there was no need for a new Utility Director, as it was not warranted as we could
utilize current staff and engineers. The recent appropriations had been reduced to $193,000 in
the general fund budget, and $125,000 in the utility budget.
Mr. Brad Gomberg, IT Director, revealed to Council that the Laserfiche Avante document storage
replacement came in under budget at $26,000. Time and money would be saved using this
new software and support services would be necessary for workflows. It was a consensus of
council to go forward with the purchase.
Additionally, the firmware host, which was used by multiple departments, and cost approximately
$15,450 was deemed necessary by Council. There was a Consensus of Council to replace the
firewall, which cost $50,000 and would protect the Village against viral attacks. Additionally,
Council agreed that the Council Chambers and Conference Room was in need of repair and
improvements at a cost of approximately $100,000. Scheduling software for the Police and Fire
Department was agreed upon as a Consensus of Council.
The Building Department was asking for $150,000 to go towards a generator for Village Hall as
the current old generator was not functioning. The Fire Department and Village Hall were on the
same FPL line, which was hardened and normally was prioritized. Further research regarding
natural gas and engineering costs were still needed. Council advised going forward with the
planning and,engineering costs at approximately $20,000. Acting Manager Weinand advised
that there might be grant money available for the generator.
Other miscellaneous items from various departments were removed from the budget and/or
postponed to next year or beyond.
The Fire Department safety cartridge and bunker gear was discussed and Council decided to
allocate $50,000 with bunker gear being the priority. Acting Manager Weinand believed there
was a possibility of obtaining a grant for the safety cartridge. Two new trucks were needed in
the Fire Department as the current ones were out of service and/or extremely old. There was a
consensus of Council to replace both Fire Department vehicles.
Village Council Workshop Minutes
October 29, 2018

There were some changes that were necessary in the Water Department upgrade project in
regards to generator power, that would be brought to Council at a later date.
Acting Marnager Weinand revealed that Storm Water Drainage Projects were estimated at
$125,000. Mr. Jay Wickham, Superintendent of Water Distribution and Storm Water Drainage,
updated Council on several projects currently underway. He felt that the drainage had been
neglected and was not working properly. Additionally, there were issues with Loxahatchee River
District cross problems and metal culvert pipes collapsing. It was a Consensus of Council to go
forward with the projects at a cost of $125,000.
3. Discussion Police Department Pension Plan and Actuarial Valuation Report
Village Attorney Keith Davis, gave a summary of the history of the police pension. Four different
scenarios were discussed at length. Attorney Davis asked if Council would like to reopen the
contract and start negotiating those issues with a concentration on using the Chapter 185 Funds,
or stay where they were; either way the ordinance would have to be amended. It was a
Consensus of Council to obtain more information and continue the discussion at a later meeting.
Acting Manager Weinand asked to discuss several Capital improvement projects. Mr. Doug
Chambers, Director of Public Works explained that the Village's crosswalks were in need of
repairs. He recommended a product that would last longer at a cost of $18,000. Mr. Chambers
also recommended applying a sealant on all of the Village Roads in order to prolong the life of
the asphalt. Council came to a Consensus regarding the crosswalks, but was unsure about the
roads. They asked that a sample stretch of road be tested before committing to the road project.
Mr. Chambers revealed that Florida Power and Light offered an opportunity to switch out the
existing streetlights and replace them with LED lights. It was about a 6 -month wait for the new
technology which would also self monitor any lights that were out. Additionally, the LED lights
would shine towards the street only, and would not illuminate any surrounding areas.
Council Member Arena distributed a hand-out on the proposed Community Recreation Center.
Mayor Brennan applauded Acting Manager Weinand's progress wfth the budget, staff and other
issues, in a very -short amount of time and recommended not going back out to hire. a new
manager yet. Council discussed having a permanent Manager and agreed to begin the hiring
process again on January 2, 2019. Hiring an outside firm was also a possible variable.

The 9/29/18 L1 floor plan shall be revised so
that most of the plumbing fixtures are to be located at the first floor, easily accessible to the
children and minimizes traffic to the second floor. The showers can be located at the second floor.

2. Building:
a) Target 23,000 SF under air. The 9/29/18 L1 & L2 floor plans sketches (excluding the apparatus
bay, loggia, port cochere, and running track) reflect 23,000 SF under air. The under -air SF is
subject to change based on the comments received at today's meeting. Additionally, the
distribution of the program may have implications on the massing of the building and site.
10/04/18 LI floor plan sketch reflects 23,800 SF under air with the same exclusions.
1) Note: additional program &SCLIS,rd may exceed the tar11et Sl"
b) Type of Construction (suggested Tilt -Up in lieu of pre -fabricated metal structure and infdl
panels) walls and roof to be investigated based on proposed Emergency Shelter / EOC functions
which have been added to the original scope by the Village of Tequesta
1) REG to further investigate the most practical and economical approach with the Structural
Engineer, considering that the entire building is to be designed to CAT 5 construction
(170MPH), additional hardening will be required at the EOC. Based on initial conversations
with the structural engineer a shelter is Risk Category 4 and designed to 180-190MPH. The
best roof shape is hip, and the worst gable. It was agreed that a gable roof should be avoided.
2) Size and number of openings may be reduced and / or eliminated as required.
3) Hardening the building to CAT 5 construction will increase costs; T.B.D.
3. MEP Systems:
a) Elevator, REG suggests a machine room -less hydraulic elevator with an integrated controller to
eliminate the requirement for a machine room or closet.
b) Electrical / Mechanical Rooms, space needs to be allocated in the design for these services. REG
proposes placing as much equipment at / within the ceiling where practical; to be discussed
further. REG to reach out the MEP to get an estimated area required for these room(s).
4. Emergency Shelter / Secondary EOC (for redundancy):
a) Joel Medina, the Fire Chief has been and will continue to communicate with FEMA throughout
the design process. He will be reaching out to FEMA regarding the continuity of operations
(coop), office, housing, and shelter functions; including the requirements showers and kitchen
facilities.
b) The Village of Tequesta will investigate funding options available from FEMA for this project.
c) REG to initiate investigation into the building requirements.
d) The project team to work to further define scope and extent of Emergency Services.
e) It was agreed that the Generator(s) will be above ground. The location, capacity, fuel type, etc.
are to be determined.
5. Site:
a) REG to recalculate parking requirements based on the revised design based on:
1) 1 space / 300 SF for Office Areas
2) 1 space / 200 SF for Activity Spaces & Gymnasium
b) The layout of the site will maximize parking; however, a wavier may be required. 10/04/18 site
plan shows 90 parking spaces; only 79 spaces are required when the entire building is calculated
at 1 space / 300 SF. If calculated as indicated by 5(a) above a total of 102 spaces is required and
may be attainable with the use of some compact spaces. Jose indicated that compact spaces
should be avoided and would rather lose a few spaces than incorporate compact spaces.
c) A total of 5-6 Employee parking spaces needed at the rear of the building. 10/04/18 site plan
shows a 15'-0" landscape buffer at rear.
d) REG to provide estimated parking calculations at the next team meeting. See 10/04/18 site sketch.
e) A grant for a playground at activity area #6 was discussed; however, it will not be pursued
because the grant is only available to outdoor playgrounds. An exterior playground is shown on
the site plan dated 10/04/18. Playground will be proposed to the Community for feedback.

b) The Village provided REG with the
contact information of the surveyor (Legacy). REG contacted Legacy on 10/5/18 and found out
there is no Autocad file for the site, as the scope of the surveyor's work consisted of staking the
site only. The Village will need a survey for site plan approval and permitting.

VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA
WORKSHOP
CALL TO ORDER AND ROLL CALL
October 1, 2018
The meeting was called to order at 6:00 PM. A roll call was taken by Assistant to the Village
Clerk, Mary Ann Grieser. Present were: Mayor Abby Brennan, Vice -Mayor Tom Paterno,
Council Member Vince Arena, Council Member Laurie Brandon and Council Member Kristi
Johnson.
Community Center Update by the Negotiation Committee Chair Frank D'Ambra.
Mr. Frank D' Ambra, Community Center Committee Chairperson, updated Council on some of
the concepts and ideas the Committee had come up with recently. Some of the ideas were to
make the new building hurricane safe (up to a Cat 5) and incorporate an Emergency Operations
Center within the building. Additionally, the input from residents had been encouraging and
positive. Mr. D'Ambra believed the new community center was a preview to the future and could
provide valuable amenities without raising taxes.
Mr. Greg Corbitt, Director of Parks and Recreation, revealed that the feedback from the surveys
taken online (and hard copy) were all positive and full of suggestions. He described the many
functions of the Community Center and of the different types of activities it could support.
Additionally, the square footage of the plan could be changed as feedback was analyzed.
Mr. Jose Rodriguez, Building Director, commented that the new building could be designed to
withstand winds of up to 180 miles per hour. He also informed Council that there was $791,000
in savings that the Building Department could put towards funding of the Community Center. In
the event of a major hurricane, the building department could then function at the new
Community Center.
Fire Chief Joel Medina agreed that the Community Center would provide a legitimate way to
continue residential services after a storm. He also was concerned with the extremely crowded
conditions in the current EOC during hurricanes. The new EOC at the Community Center would
open up grant possibilitie's as well as some funding from the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) after a storm event.
2. Discuss Offering Transportation Services, with Pickup at Certain Designated
Locations Throughout the Village, with a Drop Off at Local Business Plazas, Parks
and Village Hall.
Council Member Arena revealed to Council that the Molly's Trolley Service estimate came back
at $6800 for eight days at eight hours per day. The hourly rate was $95, which was cost
prohibitive.

3. Discuss Moratorium on Construction and Budget Requests
Council Member Arena asked that consideration be given to placing a moratorium on road and
sidewalk type work until April of 2019. He stated building repairs should come out of the one -
cent sales tax. Council Member Arena recently learned there was $378,000 collected within
the past nine months. He strongly believed funds should not be taken out of the general fund
going forward. He continued by stressing the importance of cuffing the budget by 2% in the
coming year while acknowledging that there were some discrepancies in the budget regarding
revenue. He believed that staff could be creative in finding solutions to create savings within
their budgets. Council Member Arena reminded Council of the possible loss of tax money
because of the exemption on the ballot and felt that it could be made up in other ways. He
further believed that the $13.2 million dollar budget that was recently adopted, should have only
been $12 million. In speaking to staff, he realized that numbers had not been entirely accurate
and felt a 2% budget cut was an achievable goal. He understood that Brad Gomberg, Director
of IT, had $100, 000 in his current budget and if there was not an election this year, Village
Clerk Lori McWilliams would save $15,000. He welcomed questions from staff and asked to
meet with Department Heads to discuss budget strategies.
Village Attorney Keith Davis reminded Council that directions to staff must be handled thru the
Village Manager as per the Charter. Mayor Brennan believed that any directions toward staff
must be sanctioned by Council. Vice Mayor Patemo stated that the Village could only spend
the one -cent sales tax, one time. He agreed with having a quarterly Budget Workshop and
acknowledged that the Village was spending funds on salaries from the water department and
he would like to figure out a different way of doing this. Additionally, Vice Mayor Paterno was
concerned with not performing needed maintenance and upkeep on roads and sidewalks.
Mayor Brennan agreed that a quarterly Budget Workshop was a good idea.
Council Member Johnson wondered why a moratorium was needed if there were no projects
planned.
Mr. Doug Chambers, Director of Public Works, indicated that it would cost approximately
$300,000 per year for road improvements and repairs.
Council Member Arena believed the Village could postpone any sidewalk projects for the next
two years. He felt the Community Center should be the first priority and had heard that the
Loxahatchee River District was coming thru soon, which could have an impact on road and
sidewalk projects. Vice Mayor Paterno firmly believed that roads had to be maintained in order
to avoid deterioration. The Village could not stop running as usual.
Council Member Arena urged Council to put money aside in order to avoid having a sub -par
Community Center.

Council Member Johnson agreed that having a budget meeting was a good idea. Council
Member Brandon felt that touching base with Department Heads was also a good thing.
Vice Mayor Patemo added that all Department Heads should be present at the proposed Budget
Workshop in order to have questions answered in a timely fashion.
It was a Consensus of Council to have a Budget Workshop on October 29, 2018 and Council
required that all Department Heads attend.
Village Resident Mr. Frank D'Ambra suggested having a simplified reporting format that
Department Heads would fill out, prior to the Budget Meeting, in order to be productive and ready
for the Council.
Mayor Brennan asked that the budget not contain dozens of line items.
Council asked that all Departments Heads use discretion on spending and place a hold on any
large purchases until Council had a chance to discuss such items at the Budget Workshop. They
realized that a firewall was imperative and would allow Mr. Brad Gomberg, Director of IT, the
ability to purchase the $50,000 Rem
4. Discuss Information on the Village's Website
Vice Mayor Patemo stated that he preferred a Council based, neutral message on the Village
website instead of a message from the Mayor. Attorney Davis related that controversial topics
should not have differing views next to each other.
5. Discuss Uploading Meeting Audio within a Definite TimeFrame
Vice Mayor Paterno would like to see the audio portion of meetings placed on the Village website
as quickly as possible and Council agreed the audio would be posted within 72 hours. He would
prefer a live stream /live audio and Mr. Brad Gomberg agreed that it was a possibility, as the
core function capability already existed.
6. Discuss Two Amendments to the Village of Tequesta Charter
Village Attorney Keith Davis informed Council of the proposed changes to the Village Charter
which included a requirement that within one year of appointment as Village Manager, the Village
Manager shall reside within the corporate limits of the Village. The other proposed change
included the requirement that the Village Manager shall be appointed by affirmative vote of at
least four members of the Council, and must be removed by a like vote of said Council. It was
ultimately decided by Council to move forward with removing the last sentence in the charter.
However, Council agreed that the residency requirement could be placed in the employment
contract as needed. Attorney Davis assured Council he would rewrite the wording for the
Charter, as it would receive a charter referendum.

7. Discuss Village Manager Vacancy
Assistant Village Manager Merlene Reid advised Council that the added responsibility of filling
in for the Village Manager had been a huge burden. She was not interested in accepting the
position but recommended former Fire Chief Jim Weinand. She was confident that he would be
a good choice and could easily transition into the position. Mayor Brennan mentioned that Chief
Weinand would need no benefits and would have the same type of contract as he previously
had. It was agreed that Mayor Brennan would speak to Chief Weinand about a 90 -day contract,
with a month to month option, and language stating that a new hire could replace him at any
time. Council believed that advertising the Village Manager position should begin again on
November 1, 2018.
Attorney Davis reminded Council of the upcoming litigation meeting scheduled for October 11,
2018 at 5:00 PM, with the Regular Council Meeting following

For Monday, October 18tb Meeting
Hi Frank,
Please find attached the revised floor plan sketches based on the comments received at this week's
meeting. Please distribute to the committee.
Building SF:
The floor plans represent a total of 23,800 SF; this number does not including the loggia, covered drop-
off, apparatus bay, or running track.
Gymnasium Use Classification:
In our upcoming Monday meeting we would like to discuss with the building official (Jose) the use
classification for the gymnasium, which is A-3 if there is no spectator seating and A-4 if there is spectator
seating (bleachers); as it impacts the total number of plumbing fixtures.
Estimated/ Preliminary Occupancy Load Calculations: (see attached)
We can review this information as well on Monday to confirm that Jose is in agreement with Load
Factors for each of the spaces. The total occupants in addition to the use classification are the basis for
the plumbing fixture requirements.
Estimated/ Preliminary Plumbing Fixture Counts:
We can review on Monday how we got to these fixture counts, but very quickly to give you an idea.
if the gymnasium is going to be considered A-4, a total of 14 toilets will be required for women and 8
toilet/urinal combination for men.
If the gymnasium is going to be considered A-3, a total of 10 toilets will be required for women and 5
toilet/urinal combination for men.
Estimated Parking Counts,
if the parking is going to be based on 1/300 SF for the entire building a total of 79 spaces will be
required, the attached sketch shows 90 spaces.
If the parking is going to be based on 1/200 SF for the multipurpose spaces (76 spaces) and 1/300 for the
remainder of the building (26 spaces) = 102 spaces will be required. And we would need to provide 12
more spaces than what is shown on the attached sketch, If we can make a percentage of those spaces
for compact cars we may be able to get close to that number or meet it.
if you have any questions please let us know. We look forward to meeting with everyone on Monday.
Thanks,
Christine

For Monday, October 181h Meeting
Hi Frank,
Please find attached the revised floor plan sketches based on the comments received at this week's
meeting, Please distribute to the committee.
Buflding SF:
The floor plans represent a total of 23,800 SF; this number does not including the loggia, covered drop-
off, apparatus bay, or running track.
Gymnasium Use Classification:
In our upcoming Monday meeting we would like to discuss with the building official (Jose) the use
classification for the gymnasium, which is A-3 if there is no spectator seating and A-4 if there is spectator
seating (bleachers); as it impacts the total number of plumbing fixtures.
Estimated/ Preliminary Occupancy Load Calculations: (see attached)
We can review this information as well on Monday to confirm that Jose is in agreement with Load
Factors for each of the spaces. The total occupants in addition to the use classification are the basis for
the plumbing fixture requirements.
Estimated/ Preliminary Plumbing Fixture Counts:
We can review on Monday how we got to these fixture counts, but very quickly to give you an idea.
If the gymnasium is going to be considered A-4, a total of 14 toilets will be required for women and 8
toilet/urinal combination for men.
If the gymnasium is going to be considered A-3, a total of 10 toilets will be required for women and 5
toilet/urinal combination for men.
Estimated Parking Counts:
If the parking is going to be based on 1/300 SF for the entire building a total of 79 spaces will be
required, the attached sketch shows 90 spaces.
if the parking is going to be based on 11200 SF for the multipurpose spaces (76 spaces) and 1/300 for the
remainder of the building (26 spaces) = 102 spaces will be required. And we would need to provide 12
more spaces than what is shown on the attached sketch. if we can make a percentage of those spaces
for compact cars we may be able to get close to that number or meet it.
If you have any questions please let us know. We look forward to meeting with everyone on Monday.
Thanks,
Christine

Workshop Meeting

IAU-11=
3. Discuss Moratorium on Construction and Budget Requests
Council Member Arena spoke to Council and asked that consideration be given to
have a moratorium on road and sidewalk type work until April of 2019. Hestated
that the building repairs should come out of the one -cent sales tax. Additionally,
he stated that $378, 000 was collected within the past nine months. He strongly
believed that money should not be taken out of the general fund going forward.
Council Member Arena stressed the importance of cutting the budget by 2% in the
coming year. He acknowledged that there were some discrepancies in the budget
regarding revenue. He believed that staff could be creative in finding solutions to
find savings within their budgets. Council Member Arena reminded Council of the
possible loss of tax money because of the exemption on the ballot and felt that it
could be made up in other ways. He further believed that the $13.2 million dollar
budget that was recently adopted, should have only been $12 million. In speaking
to staff, he realized that numbers had not been entirely accurate and felt that a 2%
budget cut was an achievable goal. He understood that Brad Gomberg, Director of
IT, had $100, 000 in his current budget and if there was not an election this year,
Village Clerk Lori McWilliams would save $15,000. He welcomed questions from
staff and asked to meet with Department Heads to discuss budget strategies.
Village Attorney Keith Davis reminded Council that directions to staff must be
handled thru the Village Manager as per the Charter. Mayor Brennan believed
that any direction toward staff must be sanctioned by Council.
Vice Mayor Paterno stated that the Village could only spend the one -cent sales tax,
one time. He agreed with having a quarterly Budget Workshop and acknowledged
that the Village was spending money on salaries from the water department and
he would like to figure out a different way of doing this. Additionally, Vice Mayor
Paterno was concerned with not performing needed maintenance and upkeep on
roads and sidewalks.
Mayor Brennan agreed that a quarterly Budget Workshop was a good idea.
Council Member Johnson wondered why a moratorium was needed if there were
no projects planned.
Mr. Doug Chambers, Director of Public Works, indicated that it would cost
approximately $300,000 per year for road improvements.
Council Member Arena believed the Village could postpone any sidewalk projects
for the next two years. He felt the Community Center should be the first priority
and had heard that the Loxahatchee River District was coming thru soon, which
could have an impact on road and sidewalk projects.
Vice Mayor Paterno firmly believed that roads had to be maintained in order to
avoid deterioration. The Village could not stop running as usual.
Council, Member Arena urged Council to put money aside in order to avoid having
a sub -par Community Center.
Council Member Johnson agreed that having a budget, meeting was a good idea.
Council Member Brandon felt that touching base with Department Heads was also
a good thing.
Vice Mayor Paterno added that all Department Heads should be present at the
proposed Budget Workshop in order to have questions answered in a timely
fashion.
It was a Consensus of Council to have a Budget Workshop on October 29, 2018 and
Council required that all Department Heads attend.
Village Resident Mr. Frank DAmbra suggested having a simplified reporting format
that Department Heads would fill out, prior to the Budget Meeting, in order to be
productive and ready for the Council.
Mayor Brennan asked that the budget not contain dozens of line items.
Council asked that all Departments Heads use discretion on spending and place a
hold on any large purchases until Council had a chance to discuss such items at the
Budget Workshop. They realized that a firewall was imperative and would allow
Mr. Brad Gomberg, Director of IT, the ability to purchase the $50,000 item.

September 18,.2018
Takeaways from the committee's September 18th meeting. Attending were Chief
Joel Medina, Vince Arena, Greg Corbitt, Brad Gomberg, Jose Rodriguez, Wendy
Schmidt, Kathleen Worley and Frank DAmbra.
Building size approximately 20,000 square feet. 13,500 sq. ft. first floor including
a 7,000 sq. ft. gymnasium. 6,500 sq. ft. second floor (excludes 7,000 sq. ft. of
gymnasium air space). All activity rooms on first floor. 2 nd floor to be offices and
limited use space (example?)
Relocate all Village server and computer technology to the community center.
This will require dedicated AC and power to the server room. Room size required
is 20'x 20'. Room needs to be centered within the community center to
accommodate building cabling. The second -floor room immediately above the
server room to contain all second -floor communication circuits. Both rooms will
be secured rooms.
The activity room adjacent to the server room will also serve as a second ECIC
(and could also be equipped and used as the Village computer lab and training
center for employees). Display and data connections to be built into the wall and
protected by a movable hard-shell cover. This room will be required to be built of
solid concrete to provide a CAT 5 structure within the overall CAT 5 community
center. HVAC and power to this room is of critical importance. The second EOC
will serve as the primary gathering place for all Village departments except police
and fire who will continue to use the current EOC as their command center. The
two EOC's to be connected by redundant cabling.
Pursuant to input from Chief Medina FEMA requires a secondary ECIC to insure
continuity should the primary EOC be compromised. Currently FEMA has
reluctantly accepted North County as our secondary center which would require
the relocation of Village personnel. The Village having its own center would be
viewed very favorably by FEMA. It should also enable us to receive FEMA grants
(to be worked on by Jose and Chief Joel) to offset the costs of hardening the
designated ECIC room within the community center to include the associated
costs of the ECIC room construction, phone lines, internet and satellite
communications etc.
The building department will have operating space in the ECIC and will plan and
be prepared to operate out of the community center should Village Hall be
damaged by a hurricane or other catastrophic event. Per Jose this would allow
the building department to allocate approximately $500,000 of its restricted
reserve funds to the construction of the community center.
Maintain the entrance as currently designed to provide for needed building
security.
No concession or snack bar. Design to include a break room with refrigerator,
sink, microwave etc.
Greg and his team will pull together the best ideas from various community
center designs they have researched to provide guidance to REG on the interior
Center layout, functionality and creating a compelling interior design. The
committee is generally happy with the exterior design with the requested
addition of a covered portico at the Center entrance.
September 19th meeting to focus on the Center design and Council and resident
plans for input/communications.
Vince and Frank to work with Chris Q. to develop funding plan with the objective
of paying for the construction of the center without the need for a tax increase.
The plan to also address projected operating costs factoring in expected Center
revenues from fees.

by Village Clerk, Lori McWilliams. Present were: Mayor Abby Brennan, Council Member
Vince Arena, Council Member Laurie Brandon, and Council Member Kristi Johnson. Vice
Mayor Tom Paterno and Manager Michael Couzzo were absent.

Member Brandon,- motion carried unanimously 4-0.
IUVAdM91
I Informal Conceptual Presentation: Property at 4534 and 4546 County Line
Road, Owned by Thomas Faure Romanelli, for Townhomes on the North Portion
of the Site and Detached Single Family Homes on the South Portion of the
Site with Intent to File an Application for a PRD - Presented by Timothy
Hernandez, AICP, Principal, New Urban Communities
Owner Thomas Romanelli introduced Timothy Hernandez, principal of New Urban
Communities who presented a conceptual plan of townhomes and single-family homes
with a coastal architectural style. He stated that driveways fed to an internal alley system
maintained by the homeowner's association. While zoning allowed 12 units per acre, this
plan was for nine units per acre. Mayor Brennan added that an informal presentation was
previously made for the site development as Key Estates assisted living facility. She
further explained that The Village invited informal presentations from developers before
they entered the permit process. Attorney Davis clarified that Council was not bound by
nor was the developer able to rely on comments made regarding the presentation.
Council Member Johnson stated that affordable housing was needed but the plan looked
congested. Council Member Brandon asked about the square footage and townhouse
number of stories. Mr. Hernandez advised that the square footage range was 1600 to
2000 and that though the concept showed three stories, they could be two with an
adjustment to single-family homes. Council Member Brandon said she was not a fan of
Minutes — Regular 09/13/18

three stories and agreed that it looked congested. Mr. Hernandez countered that with
.driveways in the rear of the homes, it would not seem congested. Council Member
Brandon asked whether individual pools were possible and whether the community would
be gated. Mr. Hernandez replied that there would be enough room for small individual
pools and he was interested in Council input on a gate. Council Member Arena agreed
with the Council comments already made and asked Village Police Chief Gus Medina's
preference for a gated or open community; Chief Medina preferred it open. Mayor
Brennan was not in favor of a gated community, thought Tequesta needed more housing
and though the project appeared dense, she wanted to see the developer proceed.

Commission since the location was within our boundaries. The FWC rejected the request
for a non -motorized facility in Coral Cove Park and required improvements, which were
inconsistent with Palm Beach County's designation of that shore as a natural area. The
Beach Road committee was preparing a response for Mayor Brennan's signature. When
asked by Mayor Brennan, Mr. D'Ambra confirmed that the County had approved moving
a fence and installing signage but the FWC wanted more improvements made.
Tequesta Firefighter Jason Fawcett thanked Council for their work on the recent
International Association of Fire Fighters contract negotiations. As a resident and
taxpayer, he was pleased; Mr. Couzzo complimented the IAFF negotiating team as well.
Mark Cleveland, Commander of the Jupiter Flotilla of the United States Coast Guard
Auxiliary promoted their boater safety courses and requested a link to them on The
Village's website; consensus of Council was to allow the link.
COMMUNICATIONS FROM COUNCIL
Council Member Brandon was excited for fall and thanked the police and fire departments
for their participation in Operation Safe Stop.
Council Member Arena spoke about the search for the new Village Manager and
expressed appreciation for Village staff, the department heads, Village Attorney, Executive
Assistant Debra Telfrin and Pastor Paul (Beresford) in particular.
STANDING REPORTS
Villane Aftomey
Village Attorney Keith Davis reported that he had an upcoming hearing to attempt recovery
of The Village's costs regarding the Dalack case. He advised that GMH filed a lawsuit
against Tequesta for which he may need to request a shade meeting. Although the final
report was still pending and the results confidential, the Inspector General's investigation
into the sidewalk project was complete. The investigators were complimentary of staff and
were very clear that there were no findings of corruption or fraud; the final report was
expected in October. Attorney Davis advised that he had worked with many municipal
managers and had learned more from Mr. Couzzo than any others; Mayor Brennan
reinforced Attorney Davis' report of the Inspector General's compliments of staff and of
Manager Couzzo, which made her proud.

applicant will comply with Florida Department of Environmental Protection and
South Florida Water Management District surface water management criteria, as
well as Palm Beach County's requirements as the receiving body for the site's
stormwater discharge, by retaining approximately 30 percent of a 25 year -1 day
storm event's runoff (3" of rainfall). This amounts to an overall improvement of 500
percent from the site's current runoff retainage, which could be approximated at a
maximum of 5 percent (0.5" of rainfall). The address of the property is 1500 & 1550
Beach Road, Tequesta, Florida 33469.
Village Attorney Davis announced the quasi-judicial nature of Variance 02-18 and swore
in four people; Council Member Johnson disclosed ex -parte communication with Phil
Perko in March or April and Mayor Abby Brennan had communicated with George Gentile.

contacted, according to Ms. Zacarias and Palm Beach County (one of the landowners)
requested a meeting to review the project.
Mr. Gentile thanked Mr. Couzzo for his work through the years. He informed that the
drainage plan complied with county requirements and Village drainage requirements were
impossible for a barrier island property. He reviewed storm water data from other island
projects and stated that all other land development requirements would be met.

MEETING
CALL TO ORDER
The meeting was called to order at 9:12 Am by Attorney Keith Davis. Present were Village
Manager Michael Couzzo, Mr. Greg Corbitt, Mr. Frank D'Ambra, and Rick Gonzalez of
REG Architecs,
There was an audio failure which rendered only a partial recording.
Mr. Gonzalez, REG Architects, submitted renderings and discussed plans for the proposed
Community Center. An indoor walking track, multiple floors, a gymnasium, activity
classrooms and staff offices were described. A multi-purpose hall was suggested as other
municipalities had recently built.
Attorney Davis stated that the Village was now in the Community Center Negotiation
Analysis process. They had now moved into the competitive negotiation piece of the
process. It was to be a fair, competitive and reasonable process and would include an
analysis of the cost of services and scope and complexity of the project. There could be
no contingent fees built into the contract per State Statute. A standard contract would be
used.
A timeline which included input from the Village Council was part of stage one, with
planning and zoning next, followed by schematic design, landscaping design,
development and construction documents, bi weekly meetings, engineering reviews, bid
advertisements, contractor resources, construction management, interior design,
insurance, and furniture. Generator power was discussed for emergency situations.
Manager Couzzo asked for stage one to be presented to Council soon. Manager Couzzo
felt that construction management was not necessary and Village Staff was also able to
do site development work internally, as the savings were considerable. Utility and
purchasing work was also able to be managed internally.
It was suggested that Council receive the renderings before the upcoming Council Meeting
this week.
A package price of $35,000 for phase one, which included three meetings, conceptual
design, conceptual site plan, renderings, floorplans, and schedule was agreed upon.

taken by Assistant to the Village Clerk, Mary Ann Grieser. Present were: Mayor Abby
Brennan, Vice Mayor Tom Paterno, Council Member Vince Arena, Council Member

INVOCATION AND PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
Pastor Paul Beresford expressed thankfulness for The Village of Tequesta, then gave the
invocation followed by the pledge of allegiance led by Vice Mayor Paterno.
APPROVAL OF AGENDA
MOTION. Council Member Arena moved approval of the agenda; seconded by Vice
Mayor Patemo; motion carried unanimously 5-0.
PRESENTATIONS
Bonni Jensen, Attorney for the Public Safety Board stated that an opportunity to
participate in 185 Funds presented itself. She referenced an actuarial packet that was
distributed to Council and stated that it reduced the cost of the pension plan that was
recently negotiated. Participation required an ordinance drafted for review by the state of
Florida; a question was whether employees would be eligible for benefits during the time
the department did not participate. She stated that $470,000 remained with the state in
The Village's name and the police union was in favor of the participation. When Mayor
Brennan inquired about the 9/30/18 deadline, Ms. Jensen answered that this was much
easier to do at the required annual filing of participants than if it were made too far
retroactively. Though Mayor Brennan stated that the numbers appeared favorable for
The Village, questions remained. Ms. Jensen stated that participation would require a
change of the benefit multiplier in the union contract to two point seven five percent.
Council Member Arena clarified that even if a draft ordinance was approved by the state,
Council still held the final decision of whether to participate in the 185 Funds. Mayor
Brennan suggested that the draft ordinance be discussed at the next Council Workshop.
Vice Mayor Paterno requested all financial calculations necessary for deliberation.
Consensus of Council was for discussion at the next Workshop.
CONSENT AGENDA
Vice Mayor Paterno requested number seven removed for discussion.
MOTION. Council Member Arena moved approval of the Consent Agenda; seconded by

FEES.
Vice Mayor Patemo requested more information and Village Clerk Lori McWilliams
informed that since there had been no increase in lien search fees since 2009, Tequesta's
lien search fees were at the extreme low end when compared to those of other local
municipalities and except for contractors working with the building department, this item
introduced a notary fee for non-residents. Vice Mayor Paterno did not want the fee
increase as it would pass on to property buyers but Ms. McWilliams explained that the
increase only covered staff time and many lien search companies already charge a higher
rate, regardless of our fees.
Village Attorney Keith Davis read Resolution 25-18 title into the record.
MOTION: Council Member Arena moved approval of RES 23-18, seconded by Council

COMMUNICATIONS FROM CITIZENS
Carolyn Schwartz of 356 Venus Avenue complained that a neighbors overgrown plants
caused problems on her property. Discussion ensued about a property owners right to
trim offending branches and that municipal codes required neat, orderly yard maintenance.
Mayor Brennan suggested that Building Director Jose Rodriguez speak to the neighbor
and if unsuccessful, Attorney Davis would be asked to research a possible remedy.

Lyette Reback of 12150 Lost Tree Way thanked Council for the opportunity to hold the
Freedom 4 Miler running road race in Tequesta and gave a brief accounting of the r -ace
proceeds. She reported that six local gold star families attended the race and everyone
was very appreciative of The Village. Mayor Brennan said she was impressed with the
immediate clean up after the race.
COMMUNICATIONS FROM COUNCIL
Council Member Johnson advised that preliminary budget reviews were being given
Council's attention along with the search for a new Village Manager and firefighter union
negotiations.
Council Member Arena urged continued patience with construction projects, reported on
a large group of bicycles he saw recently, and requested the consensus of Council and
The Village Manager to allow the Village Clerk to conduct a resident survey on the idea of
starting a Village trolley service. Council Member Arena relayed a resident's comments
to him that the crosswalk signal at US1 and Tequesta Drive did not allow sufficient time
for pedestrians to cross US1 safely. Council Member Arena asked Fire Chief Medina
about revenue from the Tequesta Hills Golf Tournament; he asked Police Chief Medina
about an upcoming police versus fire department softball game, invited residents to attend
and receive information about hurricane preparation and stated he wished to purchase
signs to advertise the event. Council Member Arena then proposed that some of the one -
cent sales tax money be used for the upfront costs associated with the installation of solar
panels on the new recredtion center.
Neither Council Member Brandon nor Vice Mayor Paterno had comments.
Mayor Brennan opined that though the new Council Members may have thought their roles
consisted of two meetings per month, the reality was that recently, there had been as many
as two per week.
STANDING REPORTS

five year lease with The Village for a cell tower at the water plant; the original lease started
at $36,000 per year, had a 4% escalator and generated $42,000 in rent this year. If the
contract did not terminate, the rent would be $92,000 per year by the end of the lease
term. Verizon wished to change the lease terms to $2500 per month ($30,000 per year)
with a 3% escalator every five years. The offer guaranteed total rent over five years of
$159,000; Verizon was required to give six months advance notice if they wished to
terminate the lease; it was unknown what they would do if we did not accept their request.
Attorney Davis had not seen a lease terminated upon denial of a request to change terms
before but there were no guarantees that it would not happen.
Council Member Arena asked whether right of way use would eliminate leases on owned
property but Attorney Davis advised there was still a need for general cell communication.
Minutes — Regular 07/12/18
Page 4
The rights of way use was for newer technology and he was unable to predict future needs,
but presently there was a moratorium on cell companies' right of way use and last years
legislation exempted applications to co -locate small wireless facilities in rights of way from
the full permitting process. Vice Mayor Paterno wished to decline Verizon's request but
Council Member Johnson advised she wanted to take a closer look at what was asked.
Village Manage
Village Manager Couzzo introduced Community Development Director Nilsa Zacarias who
declared that the process had taken two years, but Florida's land planning agency
approved Tequesta's comprehensive plan with new maps; two developers had been
waking for this approval. She thanked the Council Members, The Planning and Zoning
Board, Village Manager Couzzo and Attorney Davis for their support. State statute
dictated a municipality review their plan every seven years but only a letter to the state
was required if no changes to the plan were wished. Mr. Couzzo thanked Ms. Zacarias
for her hard work.
Police
Police Chief Gustavo Medina announced, to applause, that it was his 10011 day as
Tequesta's Police Chief. He continued by sharing his goals for the department and the
progress made toward them. Additional training included all officers being retrained on
fingerpdnting and kits available in all vehicles. He spoke of an upcoming promotion
ceremony for Lieutenants Lally and Pike, and Sergeants Johnson and Korkowski and
stated that the promotion process enlightened him to the high caliber of the Tequesta
police officers. He relayed that at a recent award ceremony, Amber Krauss received the
civilian award; K-9 Erik and Officer Loney graduated from training and were patrolling The
Village; the Department continued to meet with community members. Chief Medina
advised that a schedule reorganization resulted in more night coverage without
jeopardizing day coverage and overtime was reduced from the same period last year, with
two less personnel. He announced that the National Night Out was rescheduled for
October 5, 2018, which coincided with the food truck invasion; other municipalities and the
Sheriffs Departments would participate. Chief Medina reported working with nearby
agencies regarding border patrol and school threat assessment, expressed thanks for the
opportunity to lead the agency, and then shared the Department's new mission statement.
Fire
Fire Chief Joel Medina spoke about the Freedom Run on the 4 th of July and how he was
y ry
thankful to be a citizen of the United States; the Public Safet bike ride Ih rough the Count
Club; hurricane preparedness; community involvement; and electronic plan review in
conjunction with the Building Department. He announced that it was the 25 th anniversary
of the Tequesta Fire Department and that Firefighter Andre Dodd (who had 18 years of
service with The Village) received the Paramedic of the Year Award at the Public Safety
Awards and Zach Wichert received the Jim Weinand Firefighter of the Year award.

BALANCE IN AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE AMOUNT IDENTIFIED IN THE
ATTACHED EXHIBITS A AND B TO FUND BAD DEBT AND AUTHORIZING THE
VILLAGE MANAGER TO PROCEED ON BEHALF OF THE VILLAGE PROVIDING
FOR SEVERABILITY; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE
Village Attorney Keith Davis read Resolution 24-18, title into the record. Council Member
Johnson asked about the debt collection process. Firefighter Zach Wichert explained that
uncollected debt inflated accounts receivable and with 10 years of medical bookkeeping
experience, he knew that 90-95% of debt sent to collections was never recovered. He
advised that the last write off was in 2016; once he exhausted his efforts (approximately
90 days), debts were sent to a collection agency; bills over 90 to 120 days old were unlikely
collectable at all. Finance Director Chris Quirk advised that this would now be done once
per year; Fire Chief Medina said that software and personnel changes caused a backlog
and he did not expect this in the future. Vice Mayor Paterno wanted immediate write off
of uncollectable debt but Consensus of Council was to continue the existing _process.
MOTION: Vice MayorPaterno moved approval of Resolution 24-18, seconded by Council
Member Arena; motion carried 5-0.

Village Attorney Davis read Resolution 26-18, title into the record and explained that this
addressed rules of decorum in public meetings (aside from the three-minute rule) in an
effort to allow the public to enjoy attending meetings. Vice Mayor Paterno felt that three
minutes, once per month was not sufficient time for a citizen to communicate with Council.
Consensus of Council was to explore Resolution 26-18 further at a Workshop.

END OF CONSENT AGENDA
Vice Mayor Patemo asked what a magic cube was and Village Manager Couzzo explained
that ft was a marketing tool for distribution to residents and area businesses that pictured
the Council Members, staff, and Village services.
COMMUNICATIONS FROM CITIZENS
Harold Taylor of 13 Chapel Court felt that neighbors of the recently abandoned alley should
have together purchased the properties if they wished a certain disposition for them.
COMMUNICATIONS FROM COUNCIL
Council Member Johnson thanked Police Chief Medina and his department for assisting
residents during the recent severe storms. She encouraged residents to contact her with
any concerns and stated as her first year serving on The Village Council, she intended to
focus closely on the budget. She asked Village Manager Couzzo to explore ways other
than a paper survey to garner input for a new recreation center.
Council Member Brandon was recently out of town, which caused her to appreciate the
quality of services The Village of Tequesta and nearby towns offer. She welcomed
questions from residents and encouraged thankfulness for what we had.
Council Member Arena complimented Pastor Beresford and stated that the community
center arch itect/plan ner application deadline was June 25, so he anticipated the review
committee would present to Council at the July workshop. According to Council Member
Arena, 22 children attended this years Nautical Club; he suggested starting a bike club;
and he requested revitalization, not removal of two markers at Tequesta Drive and US 1.
Council Member Arena shared his vision of a hurricane party at the firehouse with
information for and vendor discounts to residents. He then complimented Village Clerk
Lori McWilliams for informing residents, the public works employees for clearing drains,
and the police for assistance during the recent rain deluge.
Minutes — Regular 06/14/18

Vice Mayor Paterno said he was glad to see the different departments doing their part
during the recent storms; he referenced a letter to Council from The Village Bootery, which
claimed that their sales had suffered because of the construction on US 1; and he said he
supported recent new hires. He addressed a complaint from someone who wished to, but
did not speak at a prior meeting and stated that everyone should have opportunity to
speak. Vice Mayor Paterno spoke about the Tequesta Drive sidewalk project, however
due to an open Inspector General's investigation, Village Attorney Keith Davis advised
against comment. The Vice Mayor continued and took issue with the project's planning;
details about the work; offered a handout in explanation; and questioned the account from
which some of the funds came. Vice Mayor Paterno expressed dissatisfaction that Village
Manager Couzzo did not attend part of the last workshop and quoted that his attendance
was a job responsibility. He noted that Public Works Director Doug Chambers was also
absent, then quoted a directive from the Village Manager that senior staff or a
knowledgeable representative were to attend if an agenda item involved their department.
Council Member Arena advised that since the standard three minutes was insufficient time
for a resident to express his concerns, Council Member Brandon invited him to speak at a
workshop. He came and spoke to Council, then staff came in afterward, as senior staff
was not the intended audience. Vice Mayor Paterno said he was unable to ask questions
and never received a response from the manager to which Mayor Brennan reminded of
the Inspector General's open investigation. In addition, she stated that for their safety,
staff was asked not to attend as this resident was confrontational in the past and the
resident would be free to speak without reservation. The Mayor reminded that Council
directed the manager to obtain and disseminate information regardless of whether in a
group or individual setting. Vice Mayor Paterno stated that though Mr. Pastuch had called
him names in the past, he must still be treated with respect and his concerns investigated.
Vice Mayor Paterno wanted all council members to get the same information at the same
time. Council Member Johnson suggested discussion of the Inspector General's report,
once concluded, at a workshop and Attorney Davis again advised against discussion until
then. Vice Mayor Paterno cautioned Attorney Davis not to infringe on making policy and
Attorney Davis clarified that he rendered an opinion and stood by it; there was no violation.
Council Member Arena reminded that this was the first time a resident was invited to speak
at a workshop and could be handled differently should it occur again. Council Member
Brandon was not in favor of staff not in attendance but understood due to the safety aspect.

police departments a great partnership. Critical Incident Stress Management training was
recently conducted at the behest of Human Resources Director Merlene Reid and Pastor
Paul Beresford was a critical resource to employees in that regard. He mentioned that
firefighter Andre Dodd received the Palm Beach County distinguished paramedic service
award in May which was well deserved; the first Chili Cook -off meeting was held and the
Public safety awards and recognition were next week to which all Council and Senior staff
were invited. Chief Medina announced that Public safety was wholeheartedly here for the

13. ORDINANCE 10-18, FIRST READING, AN ORDINANCE OF THE VILLAGE

Attorney Davis read Ordinance 10-18 title into the record and announced that the Local

Council comment. After he gave some history of Futures, Council Member Arena stated
he was against the ordinance.
Public Comment was from former Tequesta Mayor Pat Watkins of 167 River Drive, who
reminded that a prior Council worked hard to ensure that Futures would be an asset, not
a detriment to The Village. Both she and Liz Schauer of 85 Teakwood Circle, also a former
Mayor and Council Member, and current Planning and Zoning Board member were against
the ordinance. Senior Vice President of Futures of Palm Beach, Michael Holloway,
explained how their acceptance of health insurance would help Futures and therefore
benefit The Village. He suspected that residents were concerned about safety but stated
there was no correlation between crime and insurance; further, Futures had no interest in
treating patients who were a threat to the community. Deja Gilbert, Chief Operating Officer
of Futures said that Futures would retain the right to reject patients. Council Member
Brandon stated she did not understand why Futures was losing patients; Council Member
Arena advised that if this was proposed originally, Futures would never have been built
here and the residents had spoken. Mayor Brennan was concerned for the future if any

from the original model, which she would not have originally approved.
MOTION: Council Member Brandon moved to disapprove Ordinance 10- 18; seconded by
Council Member Arena; motion carried unanimously 5-0.
ANY OTHER MATTERS
Council Member Arena requested a Workshop discussion about the use of Village sign
holders, then explained how the Village Charter stipulated that all direction to staff was
through the Village Manager, not individual department heads. Vice Mayor Paterno
advised that any person can make a public record request but he only used it when
necessary.
Mayor Brennan met with Palm Beach County Commissioner Hal Valeche who was
amenable to annexation. Looking ahead to the bridge closing, she asked that discussion
on a substation contract be held at a future workshop.
Council Member Arena spoke about the Jupiter Narrows Project and complaints about a
post blocking kayak access; he would look into whether the post could be removed.

Corbitt, Village Parks and Recreation
Council Member Vince Arena, Public
Director Jose Rodriguez and Steve
ael Couzzo and Inspector General
Mr. Corbitt handed out an information packet to attendees, which included both the
proposed and the current recreation center.
Mr. Corbitt requested the attendees pay attention to the lifestyle and geographics of the
Village of Tequesta. He was looking for a building with the same style of design as Village
Hall and Public Safety. In addition, Mr. Corbitt related that the design should blend in
with the style of the surrounding neighborhood. He offered to have the attendees visit
the site in the Village Recreation Department van, after the meeting had ended.
It was noted that the new building should have a lobby area with a welcome desk and
security was a factor because of the many children that would frequent the building.
Manager Couzzo remarked on the fact that as a municipality, cost would be a huge
consideration with this project. In addition, the Village had the ability to handle many of
the components of the project such as utilities, inspections, project management. Further
he believed the plan thus far, was very close to being ready. A firm that could help the
Village utilize existing personnel and skills, in order to offset some of the costs, would be
desirable.
Building Director Rodriguez commented that cost was a factor when considering
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) elements. Mr. Corbitt added
that the building would be in existence 20 years from now and that he preferred to think
towards the future. A variety of needs had to be met for this one facility, as it was the main
usable structure within the community.
It was revealed that this was a low bid project and that a project management firm was
notneeded.
There was a question regarding conceptual design being a weighted component of the
process along with the qualifications of the planning firm. It was clarified that the
Minutes — Community Center Planning and Design Meeting 05/14/2018
Page 2
qualifications and experience would be made the main criteria with the conceptual design
being amended in the new documentation.
Cost was mentioned but it was reiterated that the goal was need based with the cost
following. Budget was a main consideration.
Building Director Rodriguez stated that his role would be building review and permitting
of the project. Fees for the project would not be waived.
The calendar dates within the RFP offered some incentives for expeditious construction.
The sunshine law would apply in relation to the bid process and the Inspector General
Representative, Tony Montero was present and available to answer any questions.
Setbacks were discussed and could be adjusted to enhance the neighboring properties.
Building Director Rodriguez noted that setbacks were 25 feet in the front, 20 feet in the
back and 10 feet on the sides.
Manager Couzzo suggested the planners visit the site to appreciate the neighborhood,
residences and traffic. Mr. Corbitt also suggested a visit to the current Recreation Center
to see and understand the importance of Constitution Park within the community.

nice paving work done in the Tequesta Country Club. He offered to monitor and report on
a Florida Department of Transportation bike study for consideration of whether a bike path
was warranted. The next suggestion from Council Member Arena was to promote the
Tequesta business community by means of an event such as a Seafood Festival, Art
show, etc. His vision included a Village Trolley that transported attendees to the event in
addition to other areas in The Village (parks, shopping plazas and other businesses).
Vice Mayor Paterno expressed appreciation for the residents in attendance at the meeting.
He mentioned that based on resident input, some adjustments were made along the US 1
construction route to help alleviate traffic issues and he clarified that Tequesta's project
costs were $127,515. Mayor Brennan elaborated that these funds were for turn lanes that
The Village wanted but that the FDOT felt were unnecessary.
Council Member Arena promised to provide regular updates on a proposed community
center and announced that planners were scheduled to view the potential site on Monday.
Mayor Brennan thanked new Council Members (Brandon and Johnson) for their work in
the short time since elected. While she had previously announced she would retire at the
end of the term, Mayor Brennan expressed interest in continuing on The Village Council.

the Dalack lawsuit and that the legal fee reimbursement request was still pending.

Village Manager Michael Couzzo stated that budget process had begun. He thanked the
Building and Finance Department staff for their cooperation during a recent office move.
Vice Mayor Paterno requested comment from the Village Manager on reports of a road
blockage at the Budget Rent A Car site. Mr. Couzzo explained that this was due to the
alley's poor condition and its use primarily by the car rental business, Vice Mayor Paterno
also asked Assistant Village Manager and Human Resources Director Merlene Reid for
an update on the search for a new Village Manager but Mayor Brennan determined that
that topic was better addressed under "Any Other Matters".
Police
Chief Gus Medina reported that Department members had attended Association meetings
in the Country Club and Brookdale Assisted Living Facility; speeding was being
addressed; a candidate who seemed to be a good fit was just interviewed and the
Community Walk continued. He recounted meeting the owner of Red's Barber Shop who

Community Service Award for his work with the Nautical Club and Officers Michael Loney
and Thomas Jarrell were acknowledged for their traffic safety initiatives.
Fire
Chief Joel Medina stated that hurricane season preparation made this a busy month; the
Tequesta Fire Department participated in the 2018 statewide hurricane exercise
coordinated by the Palm Beach County Emergency Operations Center. He advised that
not only was it good practice, it gave The Village credit toward a community rating system,
which benefitted the Building Department in their work. Chief Medina reported a surprise
FEMA audit occurred due to the difference between damage claimed by The Village from
hurricane Matthew ($27,320.67) and that from hurricane Irma ($207,961.14). He credited
latitude given by the Village Manager and Finance Director Chris Quirk's assistance for
successful resolution and said he expected reimbursements soon. Chief Medina
announced the installation of a Stryker patient lift, an improvement to prevent employee
injuries. Though he stated much of the cost was obtained from grants, he thanked Council
and The Village Manager for the ability to purchase such equipment. Lastly, he reminded
everyone of the upcoming Jupiter Hills Country Club golf tournament for which the
Tequesta Fire Department would provide emergency services.

FOOT WIDE, TWO HUNDRED FORTY FOOT LONG ALLEY LOCATED IN THE
JUPITER HEIGHTS SUBDIVISION; LYING IN BLOCK3 AND ADJACENTTO THE

Page 5
EAST OF PARCELS 1 AND 4 ACCORDING TO THE PLAT THEREOF AS
RECORDED IN PLAT BOOK 23, PAGE 69 OF THE PUBLIC RECORDS OF
PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE AND
FOR OTHER PURPOSES.
Attorney Davis read Resolution 13-18 title into the record and said that this was continued
from the last Council meeting. Mayor Brennan announced that this item was strictly
regarding the abandonment of the alleyway, nothing more and stated that the question to
consider was whether the alleyway served a public purpose for the residents of Tequesta.
She acknowledged the many cards requesting time to speak and called on Carlene
McGlone of 3411 Inlet Court; Katrina and Charles Faulconer of 3462 Inlet Court; Erin and
Phillip Babbitt of 3447 Palm Court; Laura Spalding of 3453 Inlet Court; James Guyn of
3443 Inlet Court; and Michelle Delgado of 3468 Canal Court. Their remarks included some
history of the alley, Council's prior vote against abandonment, a letter from The Tequesta
Water Department dated April 28, 2017 denying an abandonment request and The
Village's Mission and Vision Statements. Further comments were that the alley was a
valuable buffer between commercial and residential properties; residents (especially
children) used the alley instead of US 1 to travel within the five streets of the Jupiter
Heights neighborhood; and abandonment would interfere with efficient movement of
emergency vehicles. All were against abandonment of the alley. Mayor Brennan called
on Gall Osborne of 3442 Inlet Court and Harold Taylor of 13 Chapel Court but neither had
comments regarding alley abandonment.
When Mayor Brennan inquired about the aforementioned April 28, 2017 letter, Attorney
Davis recalled that prior Council deliberations on alley abandonment did not include an
alternative plan. This request was different in that it was contingent on items agreed to in
the application, including replacement of public access and utility easements. He
explained that any actual abandonment would not occur until an approved replacement
plan was filed and both would be recorded at the same time. Vice Mayor Paterno sought
to understand the plan before voting and stated that if no variances were required, he was
in favor of the project.
Attorney for the applicant, Jack Rice of the Nason, Yeager law firm said he was present to
assist with legal questions and the applicant and Troy Holloway of Gentile, Glas, Holloway,
O'Mahoney and Associates, Inc. were present for technical questions. Mayor Brennan
addressed Mr. Holloway who clarified that if abandoned by The Village, an alley was still
in their plan, which he described as a 25 -foot drivable public access approximately ten feet
from the current alley location with improvements � "Such as a sidewalk, landscaping and
lights. The developer had met with nearby residents, listened to their concerns, revisited
the site and made adjustments accordingly, which included removing a townhouse and
adding a recreation room for resident use. During Mr. Holloway's explanation, there were
several uninvited comments from the audience. Troy Holloway confirmed that no
variances would be requested and Vice Mayor Paterno asked that Council adhere to this.
Attorney Davis explained the timing of an abandonment process in relation to recording of
utility and easement relocation regardless of who owned the property. Vice Mayor Paterno
reiterated that if a proposed project was within the limits of Village Code, he had no
Minutes — Regular 05/10/18

problem with it. Mr. Holloway reviewed a diagram with Vice Mayor Paterno, then Council
Member Arena summarized the proposed changes and recording thereof. Village Attorney
Davis advised that a zoning change to mixed use was required.
MOTION: Council Member Arena moved approval of Resolution 13-18, seconded by
Council Member Johnson, motion carTied 4-1 with Council Member Brandon opposed
NEW BUSINESS
According to Attorney Davis, item nine was quasi-judicial in nature. He swore in four
people and no Council Members disclosed ex -parte communication.
9. SEU 4-18: Application from RVT TEQUESTA SHOPPES LLC (known as
Tequesta Shoppes) for a Special Exception Use pursuant to Section 78-177. C-2
District (d) (14) Shopping Centers, of the Village of Tequesta Code of Ordinances.
The Applicant is requesting approval to install a metal translucent and operable
awning on the courtyard, modify storefront openings; and, remove existing canopy
and exterior bar area. The application also includes installing an artwork on the
courtyard wall and replacing existing metal railing and gate at the entrance. The
subject property is located at 157 N US Hwy 1, Tequesta, FL 33469.
Community Development Director Nilsa Zacarias explained that this request was for a
modification to the courtyard of the Tequesta Steakhouse and introduced applicant Niki
Norton of N2 Architecture Design. She predicted that the changes would be a vast
improvement over what existed now and included modifications to the outdoor bar, and a
translucent awning that would open and close. Though entertainment was planned for the
courtyard, the applicant claimed she was aware of Tequesta's noise ordinance. Vice
Mayor Paterno expressed concern over noise and hours of operation. Attorney Davis
explained that since the shopping center itself was a special exception in the zoning
district, whenever any modifications to it were desired, a Special Exception Use was
required. Ms. Zacarias advised the SEU would next go to the Planning and Zoning Board
and that the Fire Department had been consulted regarding the outside seating area.
MOTION: Council Member Arena moved approval of SEU 4-18, seconded by Vice Mayor
Patemo; motion carried 5-0.

11. ORDINANCE 9-18, FIRST READING, AN ORDINANCE OF THE VILLAGE
COUNCIL OF THE VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, FLORIDA, IMPOSING A
MORATORIUM ON THE ACCEPTANCE OF NEW APPLICATIONS, AND THE
ISSUANCE OF ANY VILLAGE PERMITS OR APPROVALS CURRENTLY
OUTSTANDING AND REQUIRED FOR PENDING APPLICATIONS, FOR THE
INSTALLATION OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT AND FACILITIES
WITHIN THE VILLAGE AS SET FORTH IN THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS ACT
OF 1996, SEC. 337.401 FLORIDA STATUTES, CHAPTER 63 ART. 11 OF THE
VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA CODE OF ORDINANCES, AND CHAPTER 78,

RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES, AND COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL AND
STATE REQUIREMENTS; PROVIDING FOR CONTINUATION OR
TERMINATION OF SAID MORATORIUM; PROVIDING A CONFLICTS
CLAUSE AND A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE; AND PROVIDING FOR AN
EFECTIVE DATE.
Attorney Davis read Resolution 9-18 title into the record, advised it was the first reading
and served to pause telecommunication right of way permits, which then allowed us to
review Village Code in an attempt to balance The Code with federal and state laws and
the best interests of residents, Mayor Brennan opened the hearing to Council for comment
but there was none; there was no comment when she opened the hearing to the public.
MOTION: Vice Mayor Paterno moved approval of Ordinance 9-18; seconded by Council
Member Arena; motion carried unanimously 5-0.
12. Discussion and Action Regarding Replacement of the ALPR System
Mayor Brennan called on Information Technology Director Brad Gomberg who advised
there was no net increase from this proposal. He explained that the current vendor was
less responsive than they originally were and The Village paid $14,000 annually to
maintain their service. He continued that over five years, a lease from Genetec cost less
than the support and maintenance for the current system; there was, in fact a small savings
with new equipment, superior technology and one company to manage it all together.
Interest was included on the lease but if Council wished, an outright purchase at $60,000
saved $16,000 over five years. Mayor Brennan was concerned about a five-year lease
term due to the rapidly changing nature of technology; however, Mr. Gomberg did not
Minutes — Regular 05/10/18
Page 8
foresee a need to upgrade within five years. Finance Director Quirk advised he preferred
to spread out the payments however, Manager Couzzo and Police Chief Medina agreed
that funds were available for the purchase through the Special Law Enforcement Trust
Fund, thereby saving The Village $16,000.
MOTION: Council Member Arena moved approval of the purchase (not to exceed
$57,595.51) of the ALPR System from the Special Law Enforcement Trust Fund, seconded
by Council Member Johnson; motion carried unanimously 5-0.
13. 2018 Governmental Committee Appointments
Mayor Abby Brennan explained and reviewed the current committee appointments. Some
revisions were made due to the new Council members. Although no longer a Council
Member, but due to his extensive work on the committee, Mayor Brennan suggested and
consensus of Council was that former Council Member D'Ambra remain The Village's lead
representative on the No Wake Extension of the Waterway committee with Council
Member Arena as his alternate.
14. Discussion and Action Regarding Donation Request from Jupiter High School for
the 2018 Project Graduation
Mayor Brennan explained that some years ago, Council discontinued monetary donations
from The Village budget to local not for profit agencies however, Council was free to donate
from their discretionary funds if they wished. Vice Mayor Paterno offered a personal
donation of $500 so taxpayer money would not be used.
ANY OTHER MATTERS
Vice Mayor Paterno requested discussion of replacing Village Manager Couzzo who was
expected to retire at the end of the year. Assistant Village Manager and Human Resources
Director Merlene Reid advised that she had begun to assemble questions for Council's
consideration but recommended that this was best discussed at a Workshop. She
estimated the process to take between three and eight months. Mayor Brennan asked
Ms. Reid to distribute the questions along with the job description and copy of Mr. Couzzo's
contract to Council for review before the workshop. Vice Mayor Paterno wished to reduce
the number of votes required in the Village Charter to hire or fire a Village Manager. Mayor
Brennan advised this was unlikely to change until there was time for a Charter review.
Consensus of Council was to discuss the Village Manager position at the June Workshop.
Council Member Brandon asked for an itemized discussion of resident Darryl Pastuch's
complaints at the next Workshop. Mayor Brennan was concerned about the potential
length of the Workshop due to an upcoming Executive Session that traditionally followed.
Vice Mayor Paterno suggested separating the Executive Session from the Workshop to
allow ample time for both but consensus of Council was to cover all the items in the June
Workshop rather than postpone any of them.
Mayor Brennan again acknowledged Darryl Pastuch who thanked Council for their
Minutes — Regular 05/10/18
Page 9
consideration and requested that the sidewalks be addressed in the future, He would also
like to see a requirement that the next Village Manager be a Tequesta resident. He then
spoke disapprovingly to Vice Mayor Paterno about granting ten feet to a developer without
the need to request a variance.

COMMUNICATIONS FROM CITIZENS
Darrell Pastuch of 391 Riverside Drive criticized the sidewalk replacement between
Seabrook and Riverside Drives, Russel White, Village Manager Couzzo and Public Works
Director Doug Chambers. Manager Couzzo defended Russell White by stating that he
was a dedicated employee who had worked for The Village for thirty years.
Lydia Maclear, 59 Birch Place wondered if the US1 lane reduction project was reversible
later if so desired. Council Member Paterno answered that the chances of re-claiming the
bike lane for auto traffic in the future was slim. He understood initially that lane lines could
be painted over but that had now changed. Ms. Maclear felt the Council Members who
voted for the project were irresponsible to vote for the project without knowing this.
Mayor Brennan determined that other people who wished to speak about a particular
agenda item would be allowed their time when the agenda item was reached.

Vice Mayor Paterno reminded that a variance was required for deviation from Village
building code. After being recognized again, the developer clarified some project details
and opined that this was a small development for a commercial zone, which allowed four
stories and changing the zone to mixed use allowed a gentle transition from residential
to commercial use. Vice Mayor Paterno warned that he was not inclined to vote for a
zone change, stated that there was a reason the alley existed and felt that residents
should be able to use it, especially with the changes taking place on US 1. He reiterated
the need to adhere to the existing codes.
Mayor Brennan stated that current commercial zoning allowed four stories without a
request for variance, some commercial businesses were less desirable adjacent to
residences; therefore she felt that changing the zone would actually benefit all parties
involved. Mayor Brennan also pointed out that the proposal upgraded the alley, which
would be available for public use, not just for the new development.
Council Member Arena thought that the alley needed improvement and identified the real
issues as the traffic and Budget/Avis Car Rental activity and any changes The Village
would make would not alleviate trucks turning around or reversing for the length of the
street. Although they were county owned streets, Council Member Arena asked that the
residents list their concerns for Council consideration of possible assistance. Mayor
Brennan suggested a continuance to investigate options to alleviate residents' concerns.

Board recommended SPM 1-18 for approval. Vice Mayor Patemo asked James Stergas,
present on behalf of the applicant, whether they needed the parking spaces where the
generator would sit. Council Member Arena mentioned that there was already a generator
in their parking lot and Mr. Stergas explained that that generator was for emergency
services and powered only the fire pump and certain lighting. The state was mandating a
generator capable of powering air conditioning, which was the purpose of this addition.

ANY OTHER MATTERS
Council Member Arena reported that he investigated, and budgeting was in place for
architect and engineer to move toward a Village recreation center. He sought consen s
of council to proceed with compiling a list of architects and engineers in an effort to narr w
s
down whom to engage. Vice Mayor Paterno felt it important to have a funding plan prior
to investing in an architect but Mr. Couzzo advised that would come when the architect
was selected. Vice Mayor Paterno was concemed about spending $200,000 on an
archftect, then deciding it was not feasable or desired, however Mr. Couzzo was confident
I
that a recreabon center would be welcomed. Council Member Arena explained that initial
costs were for an ad seeking architects, then time spent listening to their presentations.
Attorney Davis requested discussion at the next Workshop of current Village Code
regarding rights of way and use of same by utility and cable providers. New legislation
was passed and Village code needed to conform to it; he would bring wording for
consideration.
Council Member Arena reminded that a discussion of golf carts was to be on the May
workshop and requested the Village Clerk to place an ad for the architect and engineer.
Village Manager Couzzo intedected his understanding and consensus of Council was that
Council Member Arena would act as Council representative and liaison between the
Village Manager, staff and Council on this idea. Parks and Recreation Director Greg
Corbitt requested that discussions involving Parks and Recreation be placed toward the
beginning of agendas enabling families with children to participate. Mr. Couzzo assured
that there would be extensive notification and involvement with the community.
Vice Mayor Paterno recommended Council begin the process of replacing the manager
who would retire December 31, 2018. Mayor Brennan confirmed that after discussion at
a Council Workshop, Human Resources Director/Assistant Village Manager Merlene Reid
would manage the recruitment process and Council would act as the selection committee.

alternatives and reported a discussion with Stacy Miller of the Florida Department Of

would be scheduled to explore those possibilities with her.
