Acting Mayor Genco asked that Page 8, under Communications from Council the minutes be revised to reflect her comments regarding the Financial Policies and Procedures. Note: Verbatim Transcript inserted in the December 9, 2004 Meeting Minutes. Acting Mayor Genco noted on Page 12, under Communications from Council, that at the time Council Member von Frank commented that the applicant had approached him regarding the project, she felt each Council member had commented regazding the Atlantis project. She felt there was 3 Minutes -Village Council Regular Meeting 02/17/05 Page 4 a Consensus of Council that they were opposed to a 12 story building in the Village, because it was in direct conflict with the current code. She asked that the minutes reflect Council's comments. Consensus of Council agreed to have the Village Clerk revise the Minutes to reflect Acting Mayor Genco's comments.

RESOLUTION 36-04/05 - A RESOLUTION OF THE VILLAGE COUNCIL OF THE VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA, APPROVING A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING FOR THE PARTICIPATION OF THE TEQUESTA POLICE DEPARTMENT IN THE PALM BEACH COUNTY MULTI- AGENCY VIOLENT CRIMES TASK FORCE, AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE THE SAME ON BEHALF OF THE VILLAGE. Acting Mayor Genco asked if Chief Allison would comment on the Multi- Agency Task Force. Chief Steve Allison, Chief of Police mentioned this was a new program put in place by new Sheriff Rick Bradshaw. He explained the Village had been involved with other task forces, such as the Robbery Task Force and the Gang Task Force. He indicated this would be a liaison role to promote information sharing dealing with crime, especially in the central part of the County at this time. Acting Mayor Genco questioned whether being involved in the task force would interfere with the daily duties of the police officers. Chief Allison responded this would not interfere with the Police Department's functions in any way. MOTION: Council Member Humpage moved to approve Resalutian 36-04/05; seconded by Council Member von Frank; motion passed 4-0. 10. Council acceptance of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement Grant Contract #2005-CS-L2-07-60-02-084 in the amount of $19,994.00 for Video Surveillance at the Village of Tequesta's Water Treatment Facility. Council Member Resnik noted the grant was for video surveillance equipment at the Water Treatment Facility. He indicated the grant did not indicate the type of equipment that would be used. He suggested that the equipment being purchased would be compatible with other video surveillance equipment through the Village. He noted Constitution Park and certain roadways were being considered for surveillance. He suggested the Village use one system, and not purchase separate systems that may not be compatible. He felt there should be an agreement between 4 Minutes -Village Council Regular Meeting 02/17/05 Page 5 all the departments to use the same system. Acting Mayor Genco questioned whether the police would have the capability of monitoring this equipment. Council Member Resnik pointed out the equipment being purchased for the water treatment facility would be monitored in house. He felt all video equipment/camera's should be monitored in a central location, in real time or on loop tape. He suggested there should be a consistent method for monitoring in place. Acting Mayor Genco agreed and felt it made sense that the Police Department have the capacity to review the video equipment also. Village Manager Couzzo agreed to review. Acting Mayor Genco suggested the Village Manager give Council a budget for this type of expenditure. Council Member Humpage noted there were telemetry systems to accomplish these functions. Council Member Resnik supported one common system. MOTION: Council Member Humpage moved to approve the grant application in the amount of $19, 994.00; seconded by Council Member Resnik; motion passed 4-0. 11. Council acceptance of the Agreement to Provide Utility Consulting Services -For Updated Utility Financial Forecast. Acting Mayor Genco pointed out a financial forecast study had been done in August 2003, and approved by Council in November 2003. She explained the cost for the first year was $30,000.00 and now a follow up was being requested at a cost of $15,000.00. She indicated Council was paying $15,000.00 a year to provide the updated forecast. Village Manager Couzzo indicated the original study looked at 10 years, and was a very conservative forecast. He felt the predications would be adjusted, and more favorable. Acting Mayor Genco pointed out Tropic Vista was also added to the Utility system. She questioned the amount paid far consultants, such as Gee and 3enson, for the water treatment plant projects. She requested information regarding the amount spent on an annual basis for these consultants. Council Member Humpage pointed out consulting costs would be a Utility expenditure. MOTION: Council Member Humpage moved to approve the agreement for an updated Utility Financial Forecast; seconded by Council Member von Frank; motion passed 4-0. 12. Council acceptance of a Budget adjustment (transfers) in the amount of $3,000.00 to Capital Projects, Municipal Center, Construction -Other Professional Fees and Charges account #303-331-662.638 from Capital Projects, Municipal Center, Contingency Account # 303-331-699.600 to fund a Traffic Impact Study regarding the new Village Hall. Acting Mayor Genco noted the original request was for $12,000.00 so the Comp Plan could be amended to encroach onto parkland for the new 5 Minutes -Village Council Regular Meeting 02/17/05 Page 6 Village Hall site. She mentioned a Comp Plan amendment would not be required. Village Manager Couzzo explained that the original estimate was for $15,000.00, $12,000.00 for the Comp Plan amendment and $3,000.00 was needed for a traffic impact study. He pointed out since the Comp Plan was not required the amount being requested was for $3,00(?.00 to complete the required traffic study. Council Member Resnik suggested if $3,000.00 was being spent for a traffic study for Village Hall, that the Western Corridor traffic impact be considered at the same time. He felt there would be an increase in traffic from Martin County, coming down the corridor through the Village. He suggested the area be reviewed since the Western Corridor was planning to open in summer 2005. He commented all previous traffic studies showed the traffic would increase in the Village of Tequesta. He felt the two areas should be studied at the same time for a realistic approach. Acting Mayor Genco noted Jupiter had an amended traffic study for Island Way and Country Club Drive. She suggested reviewing the study to see if the numbers had changed. Council Member Resnik felt there was a significant change at Island Way, with 750 trips per day. Acting Mayor Genco suggested getting copies of the old study, and the revised study and bring back to Council. She felt those numbers needed to be reviewed before moving forward. Council Member Humpage questioned whether this would be the time to do a revised study, since the impact would greatly affect Tequesta Drive, and Seabrook Road. He felt the information should be provided prior to this traffic study. Acting Mayor Genco suggested waiting a year or two for the traffic study. Council Member Rampage questioned whether this study for the new Village Hall was required for permitting. Mr. Jeff Newell, Director of Community Development indicated this study was required for approvals. Acting Mayor Genco noted Song and Associates had done a study, and questioned whether that would be sufficient. Mr. Newell noted that was old and could not be used. Council Member Resnik agreed the two studies may not need to be done simultaneously. Acting Mayor Genco noted the traffic impact of Island Way may take a year or longer, and felt the Western Corridor traffic impact study should be tabled until there was traffic to study. Council Member Rampage felt the Village needed to do the necessary traffic study for the new Village Ha11. MOTION: Council Member Rampage moved to approve the budget adjustment in the amount of $3,000.00 to fund a traffic impact study for the new Village Halt; seconded by Council Member Resnik; motion passed 4-0. Vice Mayor Genco felt the Western Corridor study would be a timing issue, and should be addressed at the right time. 6 Minutes -Village Council Regular Meeting 02/17/05 Page 7 VI. COMMUNICATIONS FROM CITIZENS - Mr. Wade Griest, of South Dover Road commented he was sent to live in the area by his employer and that he has followed Tequesta's government for over 30 years. He mentioned he would be moving to Colombia, MD to live, and wished each and every Council member good luck in all their future endeavors. Council Member Humpage and Council Member Resnik wished him good luck. Acting Mayor Genco suggested we do something in Smoke signals. VII. COMMUNICATIONS FROM COUNCIL COUNCIL MEMBER RESNIK - - Announced this would be Council Member's von Frank's last full meeting, and expressed his feelings of appreciation, and how pleased he was to have served on Council with him. Council Member von Frank indicated he would be around. - Quarterly Report -October through December 2004- Commended the Village Manager on the status of the projects going on in the Village, and on the great report he and Staff presented to Council. COUNCIL MEMBER VON FRANK - Stated his four years on Council has been very interesting, and noted no election this year tells him that the Village Manager and Staff were doing something right, and that the public was happy with Council and the way things were going within the Village. ACTING MAYOR GENCO - Mentioned she had received a phone call from Mr. Willie regarding the fence for Country Club Drive. She mentioned she was still waiting on a response from the Attorney. Attorney Hawkins stated the Village technically may not be in the position to place a fence. He indicated he had spoke with Mr. Willie, and visited the site, and felt it may be a public health, welfare and safety issue. He stated he needed to look at the access rights. Acting Mayor Genco noted they were accessing their property across the Village property, and that was not a public right of way. She noted the code does not allow private roads within the Village, and there should be no vehicular access. She felt a 32" opening would be wide enough for pedestrian access. Attorney Hawkins noted he had looked at ways to configure a fence, but by Florida Law they are entitled to get to their property. He stated he was not going to give a final opinion this evening, as there may be risks to the Village. Council Member Resnik suggested abandon and split the roadway, and on the east side allow the property owners to put up fences. He felt the Village could not tell them they cannot fence their own property. Acting Mayor Genco explained these property owners have to leave the public 7 Minutes -Village Council Regular Meeting 02/17/05 Page 8 right of way, and cross the Village property to have access. She mentioned the Cross Use Agreement the property owners signed. She felt the property owners could not impose their right on the Village of Tequesta. She felt it was a safety issue and asked that the Attorney provide an opinion very quickly. Attorney Hawkins felt he could provide an opinion by the next Meeting. Acting Mayor Genco commented she would greatly appreciate it. Council Member Humpage questioned whether the property owners had to cross the sidewalk to access their properties. Acting Mayor Genco responded in the affirmative. Council Member Humpage questioned the 30-foot Swale next to the sidewalk. Village Manager Couzzo explained ENCON needed access to the lift station, and the swale would accommodate their vehicles. He felt it could be used as a pedestrian pathway. Acting Mayor Genco stated the way it is being used is not a legal use, and felt that the Village would have never abandoned it for a roadway. - Administration Building Mold -Noted the issue has been going on for over a year and half and felt the issue needed to be resolved. She stated she would like to see it on an upcoming agenda soon. - Upcoming Joint Workshop with Council and Planning and Zoning Advisory Board - Noted a discrepancy in the code in Section 22-53a and that Village Council and the Planning and Zoning Board shall serve as the Local Planning Agency. She felt that needed to be addressed, and also Section 22-55, Duties and responsibilities of the Board. She noted the August 12, 2003 Council Meeting had a very lengthy discussion regarding the creation of the ordinance for establishing a Planning and Zoning Advisory Board. - Bayview Terrace Sodding Project -Suggested the Village be reimbursed for the monies they paid to Bayview Terrace for the sod. Attorney Hawkins noted there was an inquiry by a homeowner in the vicinity of the recreational area who was proposing to reimburse the Village of Tequesta the money they had made available for the sodding. He noted he was working with the lawyer, but no fum proposal was set. Acting Mayor Genco asked for an update by Attorney Hawkins at the next Council Meeting. - Pension and Actuarial Tables -Mentioned that she had called the Finance Director regarding $36,000.00 that would needed based on the Actuarial report to cover the increase in the Pension contribution rates that was not factored into the budget. She stated when the actuarial report was completed every factor was taken into consideration at that time. She noted the Finance department did not have the money set aside to pay far the cost, so that was the reason the Resolution had come before Council. 8 Minutes -Village Council Regular Meeting 02/17/05 Page 9 - Public Safety Pension Board Administration -Felt the issue of the plan administrator had been resolved with the Finance Department being the one to oversee the financial administration of the Pension boards. She stated the General Employees Pension Board monies were unaccounted for five weeks, and explained that creates an audit problem for the Village. - Council Interaction with the Village Manager -Suggested that members of Council should take into consideration the amount of time they spend with the Village Manager. She pointed out he has a lot of things on his plate, and they should not interfere with his time, and felt they should be more reasonable when dealing with his time. She asked the Village Manager how many hours Council members spend with him per month. Village Manager Couzzo commented it was a difficult question to answer because he was here to serve the Council, accommodate their requests, and still do the work. Acting Mayor Genco stated when evaluation time came around, he would be judged on his work performance. She felt he should account for his hours on a monthly basis. Village Manager Couzzo noted he would provide a report to Council. Council Member von Frank indicated it was not a question of how much time he spends with the Village Manager, that usually the week before Council Meetings he requests time with him to go over the agenda and answer any questions he has. He noted the Vice Mayor requests, even though they were not in person, involved quite a bit of time by the Village Manager and Staff. Acting Mayor Genco felt that was a misconception. She indicated when she makes a records request, the Village Manager does not necessarily need to do the work, that he can pass it along to the appropriate Staff member. She noted Council has rights as individuals, and. that a request for information, whether public or private, should be handled in the way that it would not interfere with the Village Manager's work. She stated she did not want to be critical of his time, but wanted to know how much time he spends with Council, so she could adjust her expectations. She pointed out Council does not ask him to account for his work per hour. She mentioned other cities do ask their Manager to account for the time on a daily basis. Council Member Humpage noted depending on what was going on he could spend 2 to 5 hours, or even 10 hours a week going over the issues. He commented he felt comfortable with the ways things were going. He suggested if Council felt they were jeopardizing his time, another option would be to do their own research. Acting Mayor Genco indicated she would leave it up to the Village Manager to guide his time. Council Member Resnik felt the Village Manager knows who to manage his time, and has a method of doing business. He favored face-to-face meetings with the Village Manager for better understanding, and questioned whether it was interfering with his business. 9 Minutes -Village Council Regular Meeting 02/17/05 Page 10 VIII DEVELOPMENT MATTERS 13. Fashion Mall Out-pazcel Building -Site Plan Review -Gary Van Brock, representing Fashion Mall, Inc, owners of the Fashion Mall. Located at 150 U. S. Hwy One. Mr. Jeff Newell, Community Development Director gave a brief overview of the history of the Fashion Mall shopping center. He noted there were four parties involved in the original platting, which included the Fashion Mall owner, Mr. Gary Van Brock; Mr. Ed Nelson; DiVosta Builders; and the Village of Tequesta. He mentioned the original site plan was approved in 1998-1999, including the out-parcel building, and that it has taken this long for Mr. Van Brock to bring the building design forward. He explained the applicant was proposing a three tenant building. Mr. Newell stated this site plan had been through the Development Review Committee (DRC) review, and Planning and Zoning Advisory Boazd. He noted the Planning and Zoning Advisory Boazd recommended approval with one modification to the site plan, the adjustment of the handicapped pazking. Acting Mayor Genco questioned whether there were any other deviations or comments from the Planning and Zoning Board. Mr. Newell responded there were no other deviations. Council Member Humpage noted this was where the old WT Grants was, and the Village wanted to improve that azea desperately. He mentioned the Village had set it up to be developed in the future, and he supported the Village sticking with the plan. Acting Mayor Genco mentioned she had spoke with Mr. Van Brock on February 15, 2005 and visited the site and walked with him. MOTION: Council Member Humpage moved to approve the site plan for the out- parcel building, as recommended by the Planning and Zoning Board; seconded by Council Member von Frank; motion passed 4-0. 14. Seaquesta Professional Center- Site Plan Review - Indeco, Inc. representing Henry Greenberg, owner. Located at 390 Tequesta Drive. Mr. Jeff Newell, Community Development Director noted this was a redevelopment of the existing property on the Southwest corner of Tequesta Drive and Seabrook Road. Mr. Newell stated this site plan had been through the Development Review Committee (DRC) review, and Planning and Zoning Advisory Board. He noted the Planning and Zoning Advisory Board recommended approval with one outstanding condition regazding the landscaping in the right-of-way. He explained he would need direction from Council of whether or not they would accept the landscaping within the public right-of--way. He noted the applicant preferred to have landscaping in the right-of--way instead of grass. Mr. Newell pointed out the applicant had met the 25% greenspace on the 10 Minutes -Village Council Regular Meeting 02/17/05 Page 11 property. Acting Mayor Genco questioned whether there were any other deviations. Mr. Newell responded there were no other deviations, and that the applicant had worked very hard to meet code and enhance the corner. He reiterated the only outstanding issue was whether Council would allow the applicant to landscape the right-of--way. Council Member Resnik felt if Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval, and did not deny the landscaping in the right-of--way then he would support the project. He suggested a maintenance agreement with the developer to maintain the landscaping in the right-of--way. He suggested getting a letter up front from the applicant that they agree to a maintenance agreement. MOTION: Council Member Resnik moved to approve the site plan as proposed, subject to a letter from the applicant for a maintenance agreement far the landscaping within the right-of-way; seconded by Council Member von Frank Public Comment - Mr. Tom Paterno, resident of River Drive and incoming Council member commented the applicant was proposing vegetation (sword fern) right up to the street edge, instead of grass. Acting Mayor Genco thanked Mr. Paterno for pointing that out. Mr. Randy Hansen, Project Architect, and representing the owner, Mr. Greenburg noted the owner requested the use of native plantings within the right of-way. He indicated this would save water, because they were using the Xeriscape concept. He agreed the plantings would be right up to the street edge. He stated the applicant was willing to accept a maintenance agreement. Acting Mayor Genco commented with the traffic the right-of--way may need more maintenance. Council Member Humpage questioned whether there would be irrigation for the plantings. Mr. Hansen indicated there would be a sprinkler system in place for watering if needed. Council Member Resnik pointed out the landscaping ordinance 3- 77 called for native plantings. Council Member Humpage asked if the owner felt the plantings were more attractive than grass. Mr. Hansen explained it was a combination of both: 1) to enhance the building, and overall landscaping appearance, and 2) less maintenance with the plantings instead of the grass. He noted the owner felt it would add interest and excitement to the shopping center. Council Member von Frank stated the Village would not want to see another Hattie Siegel case. Mr. Paterno suggested the Village get a letter from the engineer that the applicant would not connect to the Village drainage system. He felt it should be made known that the applicant can not hook up to the Village drainage. Acting Mayor Genco mentioned the drainage overflow would be after the first 1 %2 foot on site. Council Member Humpage indicated they would not hook up nor flow into the drainage system until they have 11 Minutes -Village Council Regular Meeting 02/17/05 Page 12 reached the 1 '/2 foot outfall. Mr. Hansen indicated the site had a positive outfall. Mr. Paterno pointed out he had to retain 100% on his property. Acting Mayor Genco stated this was a standard of the County and the Village, and that the Village follows their design criteria to permit within the Village. Mr. Hansen pointed out the design has to meet all drainage requirements. Motion passed 4-0 IX NEW BUSINESS 15.

She reviewed the three options proposed for transcribing verbatim minutes, and indicated at this time Council minutes were transcribed in Summary format. She commented the budget costs would need to be taken into consideration. Council Member Resnik commented that the summary minutes seem to have all the information, and that he was happy with his comments and that they captured the overall intent. He suggested on some occasions verbatim minutes may be needed, and at that point they could be requested. He felt there was no need to transcribe verbatim minutes for every single meeting. He supported summary minutes, and verbatim minutes upon request. He stated the value of verbatim minutes in some cases may be valuable. He felt verbatim minutes were very time consuming. 12
