REGULAR VILLAGE COUNCIL MEETING
JANUARY 13, 2005
CQMMITATCIATIUI'�S FROM C4UNCIL
Vice Mavor Genc_o
— I also have another issue, which came about yesterday. I was on my way to a tria1,
and made a phone c�11 to Gwen, and Gwti:n wasn't in. It was early in the morniug,
so I was told to ca11 back in a half hour, in which I did, and at that point in time I
vUas told, Gwen was, had a meeting or something that she was attendiug, which
was fine, And however I had a trial that was about ready to start, so I knew I
couldn't ta11� to Gwen. I wanted ta get the information, so I left my information
request with the person who asl�ed tl�e phone. And that infar�ta.tian requ�t was
for some dc�eeuments relating to financia� ma�x�s, and far the minutes. � was
surprised when I picked up my messages that evening, on my way home, that I
found out th�.t there was a new policy #J�at was atiopted by the Viliage Manager,
tbat from this �oint hence �rward, that whenever I m�ke an ixiformatitm request,
all of the other Council Members would be advised af that information request,
and they we�uld be cammunicated a copy of r�ay request, as well as, the
informatian that I asked. for.
I was even further surprised when I read my email today, when I came home from
work,l�cause on:e c�f the �khings that I asked for wss an exr,�pt from the minutes
from la�t mon�bi, because I thought it might be something that would be coming
up this evening, and I wanted to refresh my memary, and since the minutes
weren't in here, I aske�i. Gwen tc> please copy them tQ me. Gwe�, sent me pzetty
much most of what I wanted, but not quite, � I sc�nt G•wen a little note, and said
Gwen would you mind sending me the ne� paragraph, because that's rea11y what
I wanted, And instead I get a response that the minutes are cc�mplet.�d that I asked
fQr, however, I can wait basically until Z get it in my Council agenda next month.
And that's eapied b�sically to a lot af people who I don't even know, and I have
no criticism Gwen far yau, because I am sure you're doin� what yvu have been
instructed to do. I am not being critieal. Wf�at X am being critical about is th�t this
makes me look like, an information request, that I have some lcind of malevolent
intent. It's insidious to imply a simple inf4rm�ation request, is: a) some peoples
business, but i don't even know who they are, that I'm not given the honor that
any other public citizen is, of asking far informa:tion without everybody in the
world knawing about it. And it's not reeiproca.l, it's vne w�:y, it's anly me that
being pointed out to far this type of treatm�nt. And I thiuk t�at sam�thirig like
2
this, serves to make you, my fellow Council Members question what my
motivation is, that I am some kind of evil person. I mean I'm dedicating 20 hours,
let me finish. I am dedicating 20 hours of my professional time every month,
because I care about this Village. And to have a Manager come and say that this is
going to be communicated to a.11 of you, because my intent is not good. It's just
serving to put distance between you and me. And it's hurtful, and I would like
think that this is not something you support.
Ma.yor Watkins — Go aheacl, did you have a comment.
Council Member Resnik — I saw the memo that corresponded to your request, that
came, and it was request for information on Attorney's billing for a couple af
months, or something. What was wrong with giving that to the other Council
Members.
Vice Mayor Genco — T am entitled to the sarne benefit, tha.t any public citizen is.
That I can go in. I don't have the benefit that you all do, and forgive me, you're
a11 able ta go in and talk to the Village Manager for two or three hours every
week. I don't have that time. I have to read a11 the informati�an that I have, t�iat's
provided to me in paper form, and what I do, is I'm looking at things and my
mind is thinking, and I think to mys�lf, that I aan going to be sitting up here, I
want to be able to ar�swer to these pec3ple. Anci I rn�y not understand something,
so I request infarmation. It's nat right to make it lc�ok like, because I am
requesting information that I'm trying to do something evil that yau need to knovv
about, and watch me. I don't need anybvdy watching me o�kher than voters out
there.
Mayor Watkiins — I don't think that was the intent. I really don't. I think that,
excuse me could we have a little order here this is important to a11 of us. I thinlf it
was the intent, if information was needed, that it vvas just a counttesy fQr us to
beware of the information that asked fax, so caming to t�ie meeti�ng.
Vice Mapor Genco — I, forgive me, I always. I ask for information on the 707
Bridge. I sent you all a c4p� of that. I sent a capy of the infor�nation that I ask�l
fc�r, tu Michaei, asking to have all of you cvpied on i�, beeause I kuew that this
was things, that we as a group, as a Council should have. Whether I was the
person that thought abaut it, or you were the per�vn that the�ught abottt it, I
thought that was impcc�rtant. Qk, and I have alwa:qs since my very first day in
4ffice dane that. There has never been a time, when I felt that information you
might need far your decision up here shouldn't go #v you. I have always requested
— t�aat it be copied to the entire Council. But when I have a question that is
something in my own mind, and I make a request, that I have a rig�tt to that
privacy. And for sc»cecine to imply tha.t I have an evil motivation that p�Qple like
our Attorney: Number 1— Why is owr Attarney being copied on this. Why da �e
need to have our Attorney copied on something that he is going to, forgive me
Scott, I love yvu, t:ha:# you are goaing tc� read and bill us for. Ok, Why? Why make
2
3
it look that I'm evil. Ok, because that's the way I take this, because this policy
applied just to me. It doesn't apply to you Pat, it doesn't apply to Mr. Humpage, it
doesn't apply to Mr. Resnik, and it doesn't apply to Mr. Von Frank. It only
applies to me.
Mayor Watkins Well I.
Council Member Resnik - We11 I don't think agree, that if I sent in a request by.
Vice Mayor Genco- No, no that's not the point. Not that you sent in a request.
�ou can ask Mr. Couzzo for something and his poliey is not when you request
something, that all of us are going to get it. That's the difference. Mr. Humpage
goes in and he asks for information. I don't get a copy of it. Why should this
policy apply to just me. Why should I be the only one to have my rights violated.
It's ma.king, it's putting distance between yau. The intent af this is only meant to
make me look suspicious to you. Because you are going to get these things and
it's going to go in your mind, what is she doing now, why is she asking for this,
why didn't she ask for that to be sent to u�---that's exactly what's going to go on
in your mind.
Attorney Hawkins — May I comment Ma.dam Mayor?
Mayor Watkins — yes
Attorney Hawkins - Vice Mayor, I am not aware of the exact inquiries that you
are talking about here, but I am aware that others on the Council feel, and I
believe the 1aw �tands for this, when there is a communication of a Council nature
it should be distributed to all members of the public body.
Vice Mayor Genco — but it's not for a Councilmember. If it is for the Coun�il, I
have them copy the rest of the Council. Don't tell me every time Mr. Humpage
a,sks for something that that is ta.king him away from being asked as a private
citizen to request inform�tian. When I ask for information. I'm enough of an
adult and enough of a professional and aware enough of my position on the
Council that if I am making a request that has to do with Council business, I copy
the Council.
Attorney Hawkins - And I've observed that. I'm not saying that you haven't.
Viee Mayor Genco - Well then who has the right to say that if I am making a
personal private request that the Council should be copied on it?
Mayor Watkins — If you mal�e a request far i.nformation that is svmethiu� that
could come up or could a�me before us, do you nat copy it to the rest af us?
�illage Manager Couzzo - Yes
3
4
Mayor Watkins - Okay. So it sounds to me like the issue here, Excuse me, please,
could we have a little courtesy? This is difficult enough. I don't want you feeling
isolated. I took the intent of it just as an FYI, the information, so should a
discussion come up pertaining to the bridge or whatever the subject is, and I know
the bridge was one you copied to us, or but whatever.
Vice Mayor Genco — I asked you to be copied on it because that's Council
business. The rest was, Maybe I have a client who was just simply interested in
knowing what our legal fees were on a monthly basis and because he wants to be
a village attorney for somebody. So I am asking for that. You don't know. You
` can't get into my mind.
Mayor Watkins — I understand you're upset. I'm sorry you took this as a
personal.
Vice Mayor Genco — Well, I'd like ta know why the Village Manager has been
given the authority to violate my privacy as a private citizen. And I would like to
know if he does have the authority of this Council to violate rny private
citizenship privacy, if I am going to ha.ve the reciprocal opportunity of receiving
a11 of the infonmation that any Council Member here asks of him, whether it's
verbal or vvritten, because it's just fair.
Mayor Watkins — I understand wha.t you're sa:ying, this sounds to me like
something that we will diseuss under Gouncil procedures.
Vice Mayor Genco — I don't think that there should have to be a discussion over, I
tl�ink what we need to do is respect e�ch other and trust each other. And that's
what I'rn saying. 'This is coming across very mistrustful of ine. And I don't
deserve it.
Mayor Watkins — I don't ag�ee with that, Vice Mayor Genco. I dv�'t' think, well,
that's just my personal opinion. I have no reason to mistrust you. I took it as
simply u3formation b�ing provided to Council and no other way. If this, the
method
Vice Mayor Genco — Do you, Mrs. Watkins, do you know t�iat a policy was
adopted to apply this just to me. Were you awat� of that?
Mayor Watkins — What policy?
Vice Mayor Genco — That, the pc�licy of doing this applies to my information
request.
Mayor Watkins — Well, how couid a policy be made without us mal�ittg it as a
group.
4
5
Council Member Resnik — I don't agree.
Vice Mayor Genco — The Village Manager made the policy.
Mayor Watkins — Okay.
Village Manager Couzzo — I need to comment. There is not a policy, and nor is
there a directive that I have given anyone that it is specifically for you.
Vice Mayor Genco — I'11 play back the message for you. I do have it on my
answering machine.
Village Manager Couzzo — Well, who gave you that message?
Vice Mayor Genco — I received a message, that I am sorry, from now on we have
been instructed that all of your information requests are to go through Mr.
Couzzo, that they will be documented in writing, and that they will be copied to
the entire Council.
Village Manager Couzzo — Well, I dan't know who gave you that message; it
wasn't me.
Vice Mayor Genco — Mr. Couzzo, sornebody didn't make it up, I'm sorry, and
cause that is exactly what happened. And you know, and I just feel that that
makes everybody look at what I'm doing suspiciously. It's causing to put
distance between me, and my fellow Council Members, and I like to deal with
them on a position of trust. Aad I have dealt with them on a position of trust, and
I want this policy to stop immediately.
Village Manager Couzzo — I will address it. There is not a policy that exists as
you have indicated. And whoever informed of that is mistaken. There is not a
policy fram me or frorn the administration. That is not earrect.
Vice Mayor Genco — Ok, then I would like and explanation, and for who are all
these people that are getting copied on my requests for information. Who was
tc�ld to do that? Who's ezzart, �d why is Mr. Garlo getting things that I arn
asking for?
Councilme�ber Resnik — Well does it relate to the Village?
Vice Mayor Genco — No. It doesn't.
Village Manager Couzzo — I believe the request that came in, came in to one of
Mr. Garlo's assistants. Mr. Garlo processed the request, and clisseminated the
informatian to the people he thought needed to have it.
5
6
Vice Mayor Genco — But who told him to do that. I made the request. Who told
him to do tha.t, Mr. Couzzo.
Village Manager Couzzo — We have a policy that when we, when there are
information requests from any of the Council.
Vice Mayor Genco — No, what. Who told, up until now, until yesterday when I
made a request for information that response was a personal response that was
sent to me. As of yesterday this changed. Who changed it.
Village Manager Couzzo — Well it was not yesterday, we have tried for quite
some time to dissemination information requests to a11 members of the Cauncil,
so that they may ha.ve it, as any member of the Council might want it. And in fact
it is of a personal nature.
Vice Mayor Genco — I ha.ve a request that I did just a few weeks ago, that this
policy did not apply to.
Village Manager Couzzo — I policy has been ui place since I havs been here. T'hat
any information requests by the Council, for documents, be shared with all
members of the Council. We have a responsibility to do that. I'm sorry, if
somebody informed you that it was for you. It is absolutely not true.
Vice Mayor Genco — Then why is it I've never, with the exeeption of one time,
from Mr. Resnik, not getting, I've not gotten one info�atiQn request with
documents that have been provided to me fram other Council Members. Is it that
the rest of the Council Members aren't inquisitive, I'm sure they are.
Cauncil Member von Frank — Nope.
Cauncil Member Humpage - Can I just jump in for a minute. Believe me, I would,
Geraldine, I am a devout supparter of yaurs. But I may be perhaps somewhat
guilty in the fact t�iat I wanted more information, and let m� tell you why. One of
the things that I have strived to do, since I have been on this Council, is always
follow the Charter. And the Charter dictates to me that I cannot go to a
Departmen# Head, f�r instauce, just let me, can I finish.
Vice Mayor Genco — No, it doesn't.
Council Member Humpage — Oh, it does.
Vice Mayor Genco — No, it does not. Mister.
Council Member Humpage — T would beg to differ.
6
7
Mayor Watkins - Excuse me let him finish.
Vice Mayor Genco — I would like Mr. Hawkins to address that afterwards.
Council Member Humpage — Ok, but can I just finish my, everybody gets a
chance here. Let me finish. When I was troubled by the item that I pulled from the
agenda tonight, I didn't call Jodie Forsythe, I called Michael Couzzo, and I said to
him that I thought the manner in which it was presented bothered me because
there was no way to make comparisons, and I asked him to ask Jodie to give me.
Vice Mayor Genco — Sure.
Council Member Humpage — Ok, and then, and following up on that she did. The
problem that I have had a couple of times here, is I come to these meetings, and
informa.tion is brought forward that I am not even prepared to pursue, because I
d4n't know what, if yQU tell me that this item, and this item, and this item are
developmental issue and not apprapriate, if I don't have previous to you bringing
them forward, the information that you speak of, there is no way for me to
research the issue, and be prepared myself. In my interpretation of the Charter, it
says that we are in a Council — Manager Form of Government, we are to bring our
requests to the Manager. And the Manager gets a hold of Ms. Forsythe, who in
turn disseminates the infarmation ba�k to us, and other Councilmen. If we don't
do that, in my opinion, if we go to, if I go to Mr. Newell, if I go to Mr. Preston or
Ms. Forsythe and just get information that is relative to the Village and especially
the Village GounGil Minutes, and yau are nQt privy to those, when I came forward
with an issue, it would be nice for you to be informed about the issue that I am
bringing forward.
Vice Mayor Genco- Yes.
Couneil Mernber Humpage — I thi�k what we have to remember here is in
Florida- its "Government in the Sunshine". We cannot communicate.
Vice Mayor Genco — Oh, I agree with you.
Council Member Humpage — And, we are bound by policies that we have in
place. And the overriding policy is the Charter. And I was somewhat di�pleased
on several Council Meetings, that I attended, when issues caxne f4rward, and I
was not prepared. I didn't even l�ciow they were coming out of the gate. So I, as a
matter of fact, in one instance, made mention towards Department Heads, that
well, you know, I'im iooking into something for another Councilmen, and I'm
already going ta caver that issue. And my remark was, well wait a minute. If
you're looking into this, I would like to know about it too. We ha.ve to keep in
mind, and I respect yau, I think you are a bright, iatelligent perso�. But the thing
is we operate as a Council.
7
8
Vice Mayor Genco — Yes we do.
Council Member Humpage — We do not operate. We operate as individuais, but
we are a Council, and we make our decisions based on the opinion of five. And
for all, we need to be as informed. And I was the one who complained, that this
department, as a maiter of fact, the request for the information, was an identical
request that I made. But if that just happened, and nobody did anything else about
it, I and another Councilperson would be prepared, and three Council people
would be out of the loop. But the Charter is specific, under 2.11, that we are to
interact through the Village Manager, so that the Staff is prepared. You can't
expect the Clerk to response to a question, that's she not prepared for.
Vice Mayor Genco — And I would like to respond, I understand your concern, and
you also ha.ve to realize, I am the senior Council Member her, along with Mr. Von
Frank. And beeause I am the senior Council Member, there will be things that, as
you put it, will come out of the box, because I sat up here when it happened, and
that's just life. And I don't mean to sell anybody short for it, but that's the way
it's going to be, because I was here when it happened.
Council Member Humpage — I was here when you were doing it at every meeting.
Vice Mayor Genco — You were here, most every meeting. But because I was here
reading the paperwork, at the time, and was persanally invalved with it. My
memory on the events would probably be a little sharper, than someb4dy out in
the audience who is observing it, Mr. Humpage, no insult meant. t�nd that there
are going to be times when we as Council Members, like when I'm reading the
Minutes from the other Committee Meetings. Sometimes I will ask for something
because it peaks my interast, Ok. Sometirnes it's because, it's my neighbor down
the street, or it's something that's convergent wiY.h samething else that I am doing
somewhere else. And I am going to request that for my personal interest. It has
nathing to do with our Council business. And frankly, I want tc� know that I have
that right of privacy. When it has something to do with Council business, that I
have any inkling tha.t it will. I ask that you be copied. I don't try and ambush you.
I hy and copy you on a11 the things that I think are going to be rele�vant. That I
want to keep you informed. I want to keep you up ta the level where we can
discuss things, because it's to my benefit. And if sometimes yau don't know
something, frankly it's not my fault. I will do my best tc� try and �ducate you on it.
But it's nat my fault. Going back to the Charter issue, the Charter issue simply
says that you as a Council Member may not tell an ennployee what they are going
to do on their jflb. Ok, it has nothing to do with you as an individual, or as a
Council Member making the equivalent of a foil request to get infarmatian. V�e
have not given up our individual rights as private citizens by being Council
Members. Alright, we are enritled to da tha�, and anyane that works fc�r the
Village. And you can go up to Mr. Newell, or Jodie, or the lady that you pay your
bill to in the Water Department and ask them information without going through
the Manager.
8
9
Council Member Humpage — I disagree.
Vice Mayor Genco — But if you go and tell that employee that you don't want
them doing their job that way, or you want them to do something special for you,
that they would be doing because they are in the Public Works department. No
you may not do that.
Mayor Watkins — Mr. Hawkins.
Attorney Hawkins — May I make a comment. I don't know Vice Mayor that you
are correct. This is a Strong Manager form of Government that you have. You
have entrusted all executive power to the Manager. You sit in a legislative form.
You sit solely in a legislative policy making body. The Charter is pretty precise.
It says except for the purposes of inquiries or investigations under this Charter
only, the Council and its Members shall deal with the Village employees solely
through the Manager.
Vice Mayor Genco — With the Village employee's as they are employees.
Attorney Hawkins — But solely through the Village Manager, that's the formula
that you agreed to. I agree with you Mr. Hawkins, and you and I have had two or
three conversa.tions, and you yourself said to me, and I can go, if I had my
computer here I could go to the exact date that vve had those conversations. You
said it made absolutely no sense that if I wanted to find out the bill for something
that we looked at two months ago, and the Council was why I couldn't call up
Jodie to ask her that. Or I wanted to find out wha:t a permit was that my rreighbor
was doing, why I couldn't ca11 up and ask her that. Or if I wanted to know why
they put a11 the little fl$gs up on the thing from the Water Uti�ity Department,
which they did do. Why i c�;n't call that emplayee up or that department and ask
them that. We are enritled to do that, and that has nathing to do with that.
Attorney Hawkins — I didn't say you were. And I honestly don't think an
argument between you and I, or anyone here.
Vice Mayor Genco — I dan't need to ask the Manager to get that answer.
Attorney Hawkins — May I finish, I'm not cutting you aff.
Vice MayQr Genco — No, I am sorry, go ahead.
Attorney Hawkins — Three months ago I was asked to prepare for a workshop on
this topic.
Vice Mayor Genco — �es.
9
10
Attorney Hawkins — And that's on the agenda for this evening. Correct.
Vice Mayor Genco — Yes.
Attorney Hawkins — And I understand, we're going to address this issue at the
Workshop, when the workshop is conducted, correct. That's what you asked for.
Vice Mayor Genco — It's on the agenda, and I did request it yes.
Attorney Hawkins — Ok. It strikes me there is a substantial disagreement on this
body, on terms of what this language means.
Council Member von Frank — Yes.
Vice Mayor Genco — Yes.
Attorney Hawkins — And it strikes me that this language needs to be addressed at
a workshop.
Council Member von Frank — Yes.
Vice Mayor Genco — I agree. And I'11 table that. I was addressing Mr. Humpage's
issue. I did not want to get into this subject. T'his wasn't my idea.
Attorney Hawkins — Well, you.
Vice Mayar Genco — My reason of addressing, what I addressed tonight, is my
right to privacy, and this issue of the emails, and all of this other thing. And I
want to know if the policy that I brought this whole subject over, on the table
about, if the Village Council is going to adopt this policy, as there policy, then I
want to know it goes both ways, and I want to know every time you go in Mr.
Couzzo's office, two or three hours, and he shows you reports, ar information, or
whatever fram the Village that that get copied and sent to me, and in fact, I have
to, everything that I request whether it's private, or personal. And I thought my
judgment was pretty good on letting you know whenever I thought it was Council
business, malcing sure that I put in the reque�t, and you can ask Mr. Couzzo, I'm
sure he knows, I put, please copy the Council, and if that's not suffieient for you,
then I want to know that the policy applies to a11 of us, not jvst tv me. Because I
. was told the policy applied just tc> me.
Mayor Watkins —We11, I would agree with you that it would not be fair under any
circumstances for a�yt}iing to be singled out to anyone of us, for any reason. We
are a Council of five, we should be dealing with the same policies, procedures,
information and other wise. And believe yau are absolutely right in that respect.
But it sounds to me like, this, we need to address the whole issue of
communication, but I would su�gest that the place to da that is in the Workshop
where we can iron out.
10
11
Vice Mayor Genco — Well.
Mayor Watkins — But I don't, I would tell you that I don't think you should. I
don't think, at least from my point, the intent was to in anyway discredit you. I
think, I thought I was sent information just so I would have information that
might possibly come up tonight, but we can go through the how and why of, that
if you want information you feel is not something you want copied to the Council,
that that should be something that we discuss thoroughly in the Workshop,
because I see that as a Council policy and procedure issue.
Vice Mayor Genco — If you want to adopt that as a policy, I'd like to be involved
this time.
Council Member von Frank — For the Workshop, please let's not.
Mayor Watkins — Ok. We will do that, I believe that's our last item. Ok, and we
will take it up then.
Council Member Humpage — It is on the agenda.
Mayor Watkins — Yes, it is, it's our last item.
Council Member Resnik — I didn't get a change to say.
Mayor Watkins — I apologize, Colanel Resnik. Sorry.
Council Member Resnik — I would just like to say. I see your emails, Vice Mayor
where says pass it to the other Council Members, so forth as that. And we get
information, but when I see an email asking for information that doesn't say that,
I automatically thin, When I see axi email that doesn't say that, and it doesn't say,
you lcnow, for my personal use on it, I imply, it implies to me that you want to go
with what you have previously done and info the people on it, because that's the
example yau set. Naw you say each and every case you will say when yau want it
info'd. I also think that if you want it private, you want it private you ought to say
keep this private. So don't confuse people.
Vice Mayor Genco — And if you noticed the last three months whenever I have
said anything that is Council business, I have eopied you on every email.
Council Member Resnik — I understand that.
Vice Mayor Genco — I ha.ve never go#en one back from you guy�, but I have
copied you on all of them.
11
12
Council Member Resnik — I'm not going to give you anything back because of the
sunshine law. We're getting that. We bring it up at the Council Meetings.
Mayor Watkins — Can we postpone this discussion. We'11 put this at the
Workshop. Are there any other issues for Council, under Communications from
Council. Ok, then we will move on to New Business, Item A.
VIII NEW BUSINESS
E. Discussion and approval of items to be discussed at the January 24, 2005
Council Workshop.
Mayor Watkins - As you know Council Members we had discussed having a
Workshop where we worked with everyone calendars trying to get this setup on
the 24 and I wanted the discussion so we can be sure what exactly we want on
this agenda.
Council Member Humpage — Right.
Council Member Resnik — Open the floor for discussion.
Mayor Watkins — For discussion, yes.
Council Member Resnik — I want to wait to give somebody else an opportunity. I
got some ideas myself, but I'd like to hear from other Council Members.
Mayor Wa#kins — Yau want to start.
Council Member Humpage — sure. I guess we have set several categories. Under
the sunshine law, this is to help all of us, as well as Mr. Hawkins to prepare. I'd
like to under the sunshine law, be briefed a little more fully with Council position
and other Board Members. Which was a subject of an 11/04 memo from Mr.
Hawkins. That's the only thing I would like to go thraugh with on sunshine. A.nd
then under the Charter issues, I'd like ta cover Sections 2.1 l, 3.02, and 3.03. And
then one of the other subjects was developmental matters. And I would be
interested in conversing about presentations to Council, and Meetings with
Councilpersons.
Attorney Hawkins — By presentations, yau mean, preluninary canceptual
presentations.
Council Member Humpage — Yes.
Attorney Ha.wkins — Pre-submittal to the development process.
12
13
Council Member Humpage — Yes. Ok, and then if I could just throw one more
thing into the mix. And this may be something and depending on how Council
feels. I really don't know if we can do this all in one workshop. But one of the
things I had gone back through and researched back in September, no I'm sorry,
back in November 2000, the seated Council created what they call a Summaty of
Procedures. And I thought it was short. I just think it needs more depth, I don't
think it has enough depth. I think we need the five of us to sit and come up with
our procedural methods, and how we go about doing things here. And that may
not be a subject brought up at this workshop. I would like for the record request
that be done in the future. If we have time to get it in this trip fine, if not, I would
like to see it occur in the future. That's a11 I have.
Council Member Resnik — I would like also to address the policy/procedures
Council approved in year 2000 from the standpoint of expanding it. Because I
personally believe also that it needs to have some other additions. You know I
have some of them down, I'm not gaing to repeat them here, but it needs to have
some more information in there about Council dealings with the Staff, with the
Manager, the ability to influence what the Staff does. Secondly, on the use of
developmental, or on the item of developmental briefings, we discussed this at
length in August, at our Council Meeting, it was a discussion, it wasn't an agencla
it�m, but it was a healthy discussion. There were only 4 Council Members at
present at that mee�ing. Vice Mayor could nat make that meeting. But as a result
of that discussion, which if you look at the minutes, is pretty detailed. Fvur
Members of the Council deternuned that they did nQt waut Conceptual
Presentations by developers prior to the developer presenting his project for
normal processing in accordance witl� the Village Code. That vvas in August.
Last month, the subject came up, and the Vice Mayor gave a very detailed
presentation on the need for a policy for having the Council here developmental
briefmgs an projects before th�y went through the nornza:l review pracess, so that
Coiancil could influence how or even if it went before, I guess Council could
influence it somehow. And this became a discu�sion item during the last meeting,
and frankly I fvrgot haw detailed our discussion was in August, and I am for one
said we ought to discuss this at a workshap. And then I went and looked at the
detailed minutes of the August meeting, and the minutes of the last months. And I
don't see any benefit in reopening that at a v�orkshop, because a wQrkshop does
not permit a vote on anything. It just reinvents a11 the discussion we had in August
and we had in November. So, if the Council wants to discuss this issue of
development briefings, I think we should put in on the agenda for the next
Council Meeting and take a vote on it, and be dane with it. Beeause if we don't,
and we have a workshop we will have another consensus, the� we'll have to, if
we want to vote an then we will have to put it on a Council meeting again, and
vote on it. I don't see any benefit.
Mayor Watkins — With that particular issue I guess I would have to ask the
consensus of Cou.ncil here, we did at that meeting, there was a very clear dir�ction
13
14
to the Manager not to bring the developers here, and I realize you weren't at the
meeting. So, it said in the agenda, I guess, I would ask to see if there is a majority
here that wishes put that, to discuss that again or do the majority feel like we dealt
with that and we don't want to
Vice Mayor Genco – I believe that you are misinterpreting what it was that I
wanted, and there were two tlungs—it was two-fold. One, yes, I did request that
we incorporate a conceptual review, particularly I was concerned where we have
situations of zoning and variance, because I felt that things like that like that
involved some planning and some thought, and that having the Council have the
opportunity to review things like that when they were on preliminary stage, would
offer guidance not only to the developer but would also enable the Council to
have more time to think of wha.t it needed in the way of resources and planning to
address what the request might be for that variance or exception. So, that was the
first thing, on the conceptual. The second thing that I asked for at that Council
meeting in December was, we already have Article 8 of our code that already lays
out a very detailed process. Where somebody comes in and they put an
application in, and there is 15 days before it has ta go here, 45 days before it l�as
to go there, and it spells out exactly what each step is and what departtnent gets it
and when we get it. And my point of that Council meeting was that tha.t code that
we have of how we are supposed to do things was not followed on Atlantis. And
I wanted us to look at the code and to do it for two reasons: 1) was to educate
ourselves, because I think we all need an education. And fraa�kly, I ended up
having to do a lot of self-educatior� by reading our code and interpreting it and
understanding the process before I made my comments to you. And I think that
the workshop would be a perfect place for us ta be educated on how that code
process works. Because once you do understand how it works, tha.t's our Village
law as to how we handle people in a fair manner, and wbat our re�ponses are to
people, and how t�ings move through our Village administratian so they can
process and handle it, and I think we a11 need to understand that. And that's the
reason I wanted to have a workshop on it. And if as part of that workshop we use
Atlantis as the exannple of what went wrong, so be it, you know, what's the big
deal? But I think we do need to educate ourselves on it.
Attorney Hawkins – May I comment on that? I really don't think it's pr�dent to
say something went wrang or did.n't go wrong. I can't tell you that every date
was complied with by staff to the letter. What I can tell you is the process went
through the normal channels. Did it go according to every scheduled date? I
caas't swear to that, and I won't. But to say something is vvrong, as a
governmental official, without there being some broader determination, I just
question whether that's an appropriate position to take. And I was involved as
Counsel. I was asked to get invalved by the Manager. So I understand your
objective about going through the code, but I wauld ask
Vice Mayor Genco – I could be specific if you would like me to be. I am
prepared to be.
14
15
Mayor Watkins — Wait. Let's get back to the issue of the agenda.
Vice Mayor Genco — That's the reason that I think I would like to address that in
a workshop.
Attorney Hawkins — I want the record complete. Vice Mayor, you said something
was wrong. I'm the Counsel. I disagree.
Vice Mayor Genco — Oka.y. An application is to be made.
Councilmember Humpage — I don't think we need to get into that tonight.
Mayor Watkins - Yeah
Council Member Humpage — I don't think we need to get into any specifics
tonight. I think that I respect the Vice Mayor's position. I see not problem with
ha�ing some kind of dialogue on developmental issues. Information never hurt
anybody. So I would be in favor of doing some conversations, having some
dialogue on developmental issues. And the place to do it is at the Workshop.
Mayor Watkins — Ok.
Council Member Resnik — I would like to say if we are going to do developmental
issue that we be specific. That I accept the second issue that the Vice Mayor
brought up, and that is to review for us specific steps that are in the Code,
although we can read them, review for us the specific steps in the Code that a
developer has to go through in order to bring his development through the process
to the Council.
Council Member Humpage — I agree.
Council Member Resnik — I'm nat interesting in hearing cc�nceptual presentations,
but I think it would be worthwhile to hear what the Code has to say right now.
Vice Mayor Genco — Ok. And I'd like you to keep an open mind, because I think
when you go through our Code you might understand better why there are
concern conditions where you may want to do a conceptual, and
Council Member Humpage — Ok. But we can.
Vice Mayor Genco — I'm asking. That's a11 I'm asking is that you keep that open
mind, and that we evaluate this process, and that we understand this process,
because frankly, Id like to see tlungs go a little bit srnoother. That's all.
15
16
Mayor Watkins — so the issue of the developmental matters we'll deal with the
process.
Council Member Humpage - the procedures.
Mayor Watkins — the procedure and steps of the Code.
Vice Mayor Genco — As we have outlined in Article.
Mayor Watkins — is everyone good with that.
Council Member Humpage — I'm good with that.
[Consensus of Council agreed to place the steps of the development process as in
the Code on the Workshop agenda]
Attorney Hawkins — Is that a standard comment from the peanut gallery.
Council Member Humpage — We have to let the Council finish first.
Mayor Watkins — Just a second, I just want to clarify, just a second. So we are
going to have the issue of the steps involved developmental process, as delineated
in the Code. T`hat's going to be.
Council Member Resnik — That's the steps.
Council Member Humpage — Right.
Mayor Watkins — Are we all ok with that.
Public Comment
Dr. Richard Dube -(a resident of Country Club Circle) With all due respect to
Mr. Hawkins, I'd like ta make, I'll address this to you. There was a developer in
Hobe Sound who built a project, which he bought the land for the Atlantis, where
three people died, because the cement was not done properly. The same person
bought land in Tequesta, and hired the same contractor to do the land
development he did, and tried to give us a zoning variance of 12 stories, when
your code strictly states that its 5 stories or 84 stories. So if you think there is
something wrong with this, it's in your . Do you want someone building a
building in your County, that violates the code, and also where people were killed
by.
Mayor Watkins — We are n4t going to deal with the issue of what this developer
did or didn't do on other sites. We are deating with what are we putting on this
agenda. It will be the code, and it steps out the process for developers to come to
the Village, and proceed with bringing development here. Yes, Mrs. Nagy.
16
17
Attorney Hawkins — May I just comment. Sir, the process, Doctor, I understand
your consternation, but remember that project was not approved. The project
didn't even come here. The project was stopped at Staff, because of what you just
said. It wasn't permitted under the law.
Mayor Watkins — Ok.
Dr. Dube — That's great.
Aitorney Hawkins —Well that is great, because the law was upheld.
Mayor Watkins — Ok. Mrs. Nagy.
Ms. Betty Nagy —(resident of Shay Place). My question is you have the date, but
you don't have the time when this meeting is going to be held, and where it is
going to be located, and will the citizens have the right to attend.
Mayor Watkins — Absolutely. It is a open meeting, it's a public meeting. It's a
Workshop, it is January 27�`, 10:00 am —12:00 pm, is my understanding.
Attorney Hawkins — No, It's the 24�'.
Mayor Watkins — 24�'. What did I say. I'm sorry. January 24�'. I'm sorry.
Council Member Humpage — You had the bridge meeting. 27 is the Bridge. 24�`.
Mayor Watkins — I'd confused it. I apologize. 27�' is the Bridge Meeting, the 24�'
is our Workshop, and it's at 10:00 am, and is it at the EOC (Emergency
Operations Center).
Vice Mayor Genco — I think we had. Gwen.
Village Clerk Gwen Carlisle — We agreed to the EOC.
Mayor Watkins — We said the EOC.
Council Member Humpage — I would tend to think the EOC is a bad place to have
it. There's not enough room at the EOC.
Ms. Nagy — Thank you.
Mayor Watkins — Do you know if the.
Clerk Carlisle — I don't know if this is available. We can find out.
17
18
Mayor Watkins — We'11 have to check with Mr. Corbitt that there's not a class or
something going on. We will try to have it here. Ok, because I think that is more
appropriate too, because we can accommodate more seats. So.
Council Member Humpage — We'll give the class the EOC.
Mayor Watkins — We will be sure and let you know about the location. We will
try to have it here unless there is a conflict that can't be resolved with the Parks
and Recreation Department. But it is on January 24�', at 10:00 am here unless you
are notified otherwise. Ok.
Council Member Resnik — So we have one item so far that we all have agreed on.
And that's to review the code process.
Mayor Watkins — Wait. Yes. The Code process for developers.
Vice Mayor Genco — And the sunshine, which is brought up.
Council Member Humpage — Is it a consensus of Council that I can bring up those
issues, the three Charter issues, in the Sunshine. Ok.
Vice Mayor Genco — yea.
Council Member Resnik — I have the Charter here in my brief case, but if you
know the topics, can you just name those three topics that you have. If you can't ,
but all I got was paragraph numbers.
Vice Mayor Genco — And if we could, I love to have the sunshine be first on the
agenda, because tha,t way the other boards that wanted to attend the Sunshine part
of the meeting could.
Attorney Hawkins — That's the plan.
Council Member Humpage — ok. Wait a minute. Under the Charter issues is 2.11
which is the Inference with the Administrative Deparhnents, Section 3.02 is the
Village Manager's Appointment, Removal, Qualifications, and Vacancies, and
3.03 is the Village Manager's Functions and Powers.
Council Member Resnik — ok.
Vice Mayor Genco — And the code was Article 8, Sections 78-251 through 78-
368, and I would suggest that copies be made for the Council in advance.
Council Member Hurnpage — You're talking about under Developmental Issues.
Vice Mayor Genco — Yes.
18
19
Council Member Humpage — Ok. Fine.
Mayor Watkins — Now are we a11 good with Mr. Humpage's list.
Council Member Resnik — Could you repeat the Sunshine Law subjects again you
gave us.
Council Member Humpage — The sunshine, I don't know if it has a section, but I
would like to address Council and other Board members responsibilities under the
sunshine, in other works, myself as a Council member, a Board of Adjustment
member, P&Z Board Meeting. Who's got that crummy microphone.
Mayor Watkins — Guilty. There we go.
Council Member Humpage — Donate $100.00 to get a new mic.
Mayor Watkins — All right.
Council Member Resnik — naughty, naughty.
Mayor Watkins — Ok. So now are we clear on your sunshine issues. Is everyone
ok with that. Developmental Matters we have the three items Mr. Humpage
brought up in regards to the Manager's role primarily, and we have the sunshine
issue as it relates Council and Board Members. Anything else.
Council Member Resnik — That's plenty.
Mayor Watkins — That's plenty. It is. I just wanted to be sure everyone has their
say here.
Council Member Humpage — But just so it doesn't fall the crack, I really would
like Council, even if we could, perhaps have a consensus tonight, that I would like
a procedural Workshop where the Council.
Mayor Watkins — Polices and Procedures
Council Member Humpage — Policies and Procedures, to look back at the
November 2000 policies and procedures. I think they need to be brought up to
date. I think some changes need to be made.
Council Member Resnik — I respectfully request that that be a Workshop as soon
as the new Council is seated.
Council Member Humpage — Yes, right after the election.
19
20
Vice Mayor Genco — Yes, we can ta.ble that at least until after we've had this
workshop, and reconvene for another Council Meeting.
Council Member Humpage - And it would bring the new Councilman up to speed.
Mayor Watkins — I think that's a better plan, to put that one on after we have the
election.
Council Member Humpage — ok.
Mayor Watkins — Is everyone a11 right with that.
[Consensus of Council agreed].
Mayor Watkins — ok. So you have it, we're good. Do we need that in a form of a
Motion. Those subjects that we discussed.
Attorney Hawkins — Yes, we do, we need a vote.
Mayor Watkins — Ok. We need a motion to that effect. That's the list.
Council Member Humpage — I make that motion
Council Member Resnik — Second
Vice Mayor Genco — second.
Mayor Watkins — All in favor.
Council Members Humpage, Resnik and von Frank — Aye
Vice Mayor Genco - Aye
Mayor Watkins — opposed. Thank you very much.
