Update on US1 Bridge Replacement Project from CR A 1A to CR707 Village Manager Jeremy Allen introduced Ms. Lisa Stone, Project Manager with Kimley- Horn, to present on the US1 Bridge replacement project. Ms. Stone introduced Mr. Mike Sileno, Consultant Project Manager of the Jupiter Bridge Replacement with Hardesty and Hanover; Ms. Bing Wang, Consultant Manager with Florida's Department of Transportation Division 4; and Mr. Jim Sumislaski, Maintenance of Traffic Engineer with Kimley-Horn. Mr. Sileno, reviewed the presentation on the US1 Bridge replacement project. He explained the bridge was past the point of repairs and replacement was needed for navigation. He presented renderings of the proposed bridge. Mr. Sileno highlighted the sectional views, comparing the old and new bridge, which illustrated improvements including navigational clearances, configurations, aesthetics, intersection and traffic management upgrades, and an intelligence transportation system. The presentation provided the construction approaches and an explanation of the decision to use a hybrid phased approach. An estimated construction activity schedule was also provided with a start date of August 2021 and a completion date in the year 2025. Agenda Item #3. 01 Draft Mr. Sumislaski reviewed the traffic patterns and detours for US1, Beach Road, Alternate Al A, and Old Dixie Highway. Council Member D'Ambra inquired whether the new traffic signals on Old Dixie Highway and Alternate A1A and US1 and Beach Road would be replaced with mast heads. Mr. Sumislaski clarified that the Old Dixie Highway and Alternate Al A traffic signal would, but the US1 and Beach Road signal would not. Council Member D'Ambra asked if it could be added; the Department of Transportation would research replacement criteria after the bridge replacement completion. Council Member D'Ambra also addressed the start date during hurricane season. Mr. Sumislaski announced and earlier start date and end date would be possible, but was dependent on contract signatures. Council Member Brandon wanted clarification on the Alternate A1A Bridge closures. Ms. Wang stated that closures would not be restricted to the night and would be one lane at a time to help the flow of traffic. Council Member Prince asked about liquidated damages for not completing on time. Mr. Sumislaski stated their would be incentives to finish earlier and liquidated damages for not completing on time. Council Member -Elect Young requested anticipated work hours for the project. Work hours had to abide by the Town of Jupiter noise ordinances which were very specific and would be between regular business hours. She also asked about impact studies for real estate and businesses and it was announced that was not included and was not typically done with this type of project. Vice -Mayor Stone questioned if the traffic study was completed for the 80 year life expectancy of the bridge; it was announced that the traffic study was completed up to the year 2040. Vice -Mayor Stone also asked about reversing the direction of traffic during peak hours, Mr. Sumislaski responded that the study on that did not yield any benefits. 2. Discussion on Annexation Manager Allen detailed that the 2011 annexation strategy was updated and a comprehensive plan was in place. He recapped the February 2021 meeting with Anchorage point and confirmed the next meeting was April 13, 2021. Manager Allen highlighted the states desire to eliminate enclaves due to expenditures on the surrounding municipalities and that for areas of 110 acres or less a municipality could annex enclaves by interlocal agreements. Community Development Director, Nilsa Zacarias, was working with Palm Beach County staff on an interlocal agreement and would provide a Resolution for the May 2021 agenda for council to vote on. After the vote by council, the interlocal agreement would proceed to Palm Beach County for their approval process. Manager Allen and Mayor Brennan had met with Palm Beach County Mayor Dave Kerner and Commissioner Maria Marino on the topic and he advised Council that the incoming Mayor should continue those conversations with the county. Agenda Item #3. 01 Draft Council appreciated the detailed plan and agreed that all Council Members needed to communicate with Village residents and enclave residents to generate as much support as possible. 3. Discussion on Proposed Food Truck Ordinance Ms. Zacarias presented a draft ordinance for food trucks for Councils input. Council Member -Elect Young requested clarification on the residential aspect. Ms. Zacarias explained that residents could have a food truck in their driveway under the catering services description and only during a private event, not opened to the public. Village Attorney Keith Davis also addressed Councils concerns for homeowners associations (HOA) and stated they would be allowed to host trucks in designated areas under special events. Council Member Brandon inquired whether more than one truck would be allowed on a property. Attorney Davis stated that no more than one truck would be allowed unless a special event permit was issued. Vice -Mayor Stone questioned whether residents would be able to sell items from their home, an example of a hot dog cart was given. Ms. Zacarias said it would not be allowed as that would not fall under catering and would not be a private event. There was also limitations on operating hours and number of days which would preclude something like a personal hot dog cart. 4. Council Discussion on Pesticide Management Mr. Robert Shaw of the Environmental Advisory Committee (EAC) presented pesticide revision recommendations to the current Village ordinance for Councils review. Mr. Shaw stated the State of Florida has pre-emptive authority and that pesticide companies are certified and licensed through the state. The EAC was recommending adding the state information into the Village code. Mr. Shaw also advised this was for commercial operators and not for residents. Council Member D'Ambra wanted clarification on whether this was needed if the state had laws and regulations for pesticides. Mr. Shaw explained this would help educate residents on harmful pesticides and what was or was not allowed. A discussion took place on the legality and forceable nature of an ordinance by the Village if the state regulated it. Village Attorney Davis said he would need to look further into all legalities of this ordinance. Council inquired if there was any known violations of the state pesticide laws in the Village. Mr. Tom Bradford of the EAC said there were instances of landscape companies using chemicals that they were not licensed to spray. Council felt educating residents through Village resources was beneficial as opposed to passing an ordinance. Mr. Bradford and Mr. Shaw suggested updating the ordinance to Agenda Item #3. 01 Draft reflect current state statutes before educating residents. Manager Allen would review the Village ordinance and state statutes for consistency. 5. Discussion on Use of Logo on New Community Center Manager Allen and the Village staff requested the use of the Tequesta feather logo for the new recreation center as opposed to the Village of Tequesta Native American logo. Staff felt the feather logo would better compliment the aesthetics of the new building and wanted to use it on the interior and exterior of the building. It was also determined that the building would be called the recreation center as opposed to community center. Council suggested asking the community for input on the logo. Manager Allen was concerned with the deadline of submitting the logo for signage and running a campaign for resident feedback and was confirming if there was enough time. 6. Any Other Matters Council Member Prince wanted to discuss the upcoming Mayoral vote and reorganization that was occurring at the April 8, 2021 Council meeting. Vice -Mayor Stone was interested in continuing his role and Council Member D'Ambra was interested in taking on the Mayor role if Council wanted him to serve in that capacity. Village Attorney Davis provided a quick explanation of how the reorganization meeting and vote was handled. Council Member D'Ambra thanked Clerk McWilliams and Council Member Brandon for their work handling the election and canvassing board. Vice -Mayor Stone updated the Council on the SHOP VOT and Sidewalk Sales in the month of June and July. Council hoped to proceed with the Tequesta Fest and Chili Cook Off this fall as planned given the Covid19 vaccine distribution.

AGENDA ITEMS 1. Meet and Greet Elected Tequesta Officials Mayor D'Ambra introduced the Council and welcomed the attendees. He provided a procedure review and explained that Council was in attendance to listen to the feedback. He highlighted the Village and the many amenities available. He declared Anchorage Point was already part of the Village, even though it was unincorporated, because of their proximity. 2. Welcome Introductions Manager Allen reviewed the presentation detailing the many benefits and advantages of the Village of Tequesta. He stated the Village was ranked the third safest town in Florida along with the fourth best place to live, and highlighted the above average ratio of Police Officers to residents. 3. Annexation Presentation The residents of Anchorage Point were presented with the personal details on their specific property and it's taxable statistics. 4. Questions and Answers F.T Agenda Item #3. A discussion between residents and Council took place regarding specific data and benefits. Residents felt their data sheets were incorrect. They were concerned with the increase they were facing and felt targeted because of their property value. Council assured them that was not the case. Mayor D'Ambra explained it was the objective of the Village to incorporate all enclaves. Residents asked about milage rates, Council stated annexation would lower milage rates minimally for the entire Village. The residents declared they were unanimous in their position against being incorporated and would look to Palm Beach County for next steps if needed. Residents further expressed concern with the building code differences between the Village and unincorporated Palm Beach County. Council illustrated an ability to grandfather enclaves in, but that most codes and setbacks were similar to Palm Beach County. Community Development Manager Nilsa Zacarias and Building Department Manager Jose Rodriguez detailed the zoning codes and explained a unique zoning district could be created for Anchorage Point. Resident consensus was that the benefits being presented by the Village did not justify a 20% tax increase. The needs of Anchorage Point included underground utilities, drainage issues and road repairs, but residents did not feel this accounted for the substantial tax increase. A phased approach was questioned, Council explained that was not allowed by the State of Florida. Council highlighted the ability to advocate for the area if incorporated and provided an example of recent efforts regarding the band of 5G cell towers. Anchorage Point was concerned with the Village approach on annexations of other areas. Manager Allen explained there were nine unincorporated areas of which four were enclaves. Council explained enclaves were the first priority and Anchorage Point was one of the smallest enclaves. Mayor D'Ambra asked if the Residents had any further questions or comments, there being none the meeting was adjourned.
