and ha� �oured the f�cil�ties ar�d tha� the Villaae was
out of space and the existing sp�ce was o�soiete. Ch.air
Mackail stated that the Co�ittee neec�ed to address v�hat
- nlan they wo�ld move forward with ar whether ti�ey wou�.d
do nathang; and that fro�t speaking with the Fire C��.ef,
the Po3.ice Chief, and village Manager Bradfa�r�, �.t had
been �oncltzded that the best vption would be a one-stor�
facility to acconlmodate fire and poli�e which wou��l. i�e
call�d Public Safety. Chair Macl�ail com�entec� that the
North Pa3.m Beach facility 3�ad 3�een tour�d, whic� was
2&, 040 sqtzare €eet a�.d had eost $4. 8�tillion, more than
Tequesta needed; b�t t3�at it 3�ad ir�cluded a vision fo�
tY�e ��ture and everyone who �tade the tour had learned a
little about public safety.
�Fil�age Mar��ger Bradford com�ter��ed t�at �he f�rst item
fo� consideration was fire resc�.e facility options. �
Qne-story €aeil���r �ith esti�rrat�c3 cost of $i, 375, Q4�0 was
recomment7.�d by staff. A two-story �p�ion :�ad i�een
explored to save money; hov�ev�r, i� was fot�nd to cost
more, $1.4 mil�.ian, and it would have ie5s sq�.are
footage. �Tillage l+�anager Bradford exp}.ained that �he
pr4posed one-story plan wouid incorporate the annex
k�uilding �nto the new bui�ding that would wrap around the
garage facility, providing flexibiiity, which he iik�d
beeause it would aceomtn�date the Department of Community
Develapment. Village idianager Bradford stated tha� s�aff
recomFnended Qptio� One, the one-story Fire Rescue Opt�.on.
The viilage ManagBr distri�ut�d corrected spreadsheets
for Option One.
Village Manager Bradford discussed Police accomr�odations,
and s�a�ed there was only one option, which was to g�ve
the en�ire existing Vi3lage Hail buiiding to t�e Palice
Bepartment. The first s�ep hac� already been taken by
moving Vill.age Admir�istratiar� out into rentai offices and
allowing Police Administration to take over the east area

of the Village Ha11. The next step would be to allow the
Police Department ta take over the entire Village Hall
and turn the building into a state-of-the-art complex.
Major improvements would include a sally port for
discharging prisoners, code compliance, holding cells,
records retention, fitr�ess room, property section,
evidenee proeessing, lounge, interview rooms, shower and
locker facilities, etc. The estimated cost to gut the
building and renovate it was $553,000.
The separate plans were identified for Co-Chair Dalack,
and the village Manager explained that the Nl�ster Plan
h�.d also been provided to show there was room to build a
village xall on the present site. Co-Chair Capretta
reviewed �he square footage that would be provided: 5,000
for Poiice, 10,400 for Fire Rescue, and 14,500 for
village Hall.
Co-Chair Dalack commented that` the separate plans
.� provided were not consis�ent with the last two meetings, .__..
wh�re discussion. had been he�d regarding a unitary pubZic
satety facility. The Village Ma.nager expl�ined that
staff had �ot been directed to provide a unified pian for
all village departments or a semi-unified plan for Police
and Fire Rescue. Village Manager Bradford exglained that
a unified facility had only come up following the tour of
the North Palxn Beach facility, and that it could be done, �
since there was enough room on tYi� property. The village
Man�ger explained that staff would have to start from
square one and redirect the architect to design a unified
facility, and that approximately $65,000 had been spent
for the pre�ent plans which were a� 30� completion, �rhich
would go down the drain. Vil].age Manager Bradford
estimated it would take the archit�ct about nine months
to design a new plan. Co-Chair Capretta commented that
the proposal was for a 10,000 square foot fire reseue
facility, and renovation of the existing 5,000 square
foot Village Ha].1 for the police, which would result in

-----------------------
approx�.mately 15,500 square feet at a cost of roughly
$1.9 million. Fverything would be taken care of except
Administration and a rneeting room, which cou�.d be built
on the property p�esently owned for $1,450,000. The
total square footage would then be the same as the North
Palm Beach facility, for approximately �3-1/2 million.
Co-Chair Capretta co�n.ented that the real issue tonight
was whethe� the Co�m.ittee wanted to approve Public
Saf�ty, spending less than $2 million to take care of
everything except Admin.istration and a meeting room; and
if th�y did not make that decision then the cost would be
abaut $5 million to accommodate demolition and
operational costs during dela�r. Village Manager Bradford
explained that if iti were possible to �hoehorn a new
Public Safety facility which would include both Police
and Fire Re�cue onto the site without tearing down any
existing buildings, then construction could b� compl.e�ed
without disrupting any departments, and demolition of the
old buildings could he done after everyone had moved into
the new bui3.ding. Chair Mackail commented that the
single facility plans under consideration had been
extremely thought out to benefit the e�pioyees who would
be using the facilities. The Village Ma.nager e�cplained
that North Palm Beach had to have both Poli�e and Fire
Rescue in dne facility because the�r had cross-trained
th�ir personnel, which in the past had been an issue in
the VilZage, and it had been decided to have �epara�.e
Police and Fire personnel in Tequesta. Chair
Mackail commented that using the current plans, a Village
Hall could be aceomm4dated on the groperty at a future
date. Chair Mackail commented that he had been informed
that if construction of both Police and Fire Rescue
Facilities were done at the same time th�re would be a
savings of $300,000, and only Police and Fire would be
disrupted. Chair Ma.ckail expres�ed his opinion that the
plans presented were the most workable for the Village,
and stated that his only concern was that there was
enough space to meet future needs, and not become

obsolete in €ive years. Councilmember Dalack questioned
whether the Village would grow after buildout, to which
the Village Ma.nager responded the Village would grow
through annexation after buildou.t. Councilmember Dalack
commented that the Village staff would not grow that
much, which was v�erified by the Village Manager, so that
the new facilities would have sufficient room for the
future. Chair Mackail commented that if there were more
personnel in the future, then the Community� Development
Department could be accommodated with Administration,
�reeing 5,000 square feet o� space. Counc�lmember Dalaek
questioned whether the most economical method of aoing
what the Village wanted was to renovate the present City
Hall for the Police and to build a new building to house
Fire Rescue. The res�onse was affirmative, and Chair
Ma.ckail commented that by doing both together there was
an additional savings of up to �300,OQ0. Co-Chair
Capretta commented this plan. would take care of the
- immediate needs of the Village, and that he would be
...., willing to spend more money if enough space could b� .
added that the Department of Community Development could
also be accommodated. There would then be no pressure to
rush to build a village Hall, only to find a meeting
room, for which there were several pptians. It was the
consensus of the group to move forward with Che plans
discussed. Police Chief Allison stated th� design met
�he Polic� needs. Acting Police Chief Burnsed pointed
out there was additional savings by usi.ng the current
plans in which the Village had invested a substantial
sum. Chair Mackail commented that Police and Fire would
be 1.ocated in the center of the Village.
Financing was discussed by the Village Manager, who
explained that the spreadsheet provided assumed the
Village would ultimately go to a 30-y�a,r revenue bond,
and showed how much money was available and the cost for
each alte�native of building� bein� done. Co-Chair
Capretta commented that data for alt,ernative buildings

did not need to be presented to him since a decision had
been made and the Committee was ready to vote; he just
wanted to make sure �here would be enough room for Mr.
Ladd's department even if it cost more for the extra
space. Co-Chair Capretta requested the data only for the
buildings which had been decided upon. The Village
Manager reviewed the spreadsheet handaut, sta�ing that
Tequesta Plaza must also be tinanced, and if the property
owned by the village in Tequesta Plaza was sald for
$477,000 the Village would be $68,Ofl0 short for
constructa.on of a Village Hall on the existing property
and a Pub3ic Safety facility, and if the $41,000 in Ad
Valorem Rate Stabilization were applied it wotzld reduce
the shortage to $2�,000. village Manager Bradford
cammented that if the Committee thought they would want
to construct a Village Hall in the near future, it would
be more cost effective to finance it at the present time.
During ensuing discussion, village Manager Bradford
commented i� m�.ght be cheaper to keep roll�r�g over the
letter of:� credit than to go to a 30 -yea� revenue bond
right away, as long as the interest rates were mQre
favorable, vil.lage Manager Bradford expla�.ned the tatal
needed would be $5.5 million. Co-Chair Cap�etta
summarized that everythir�g that would be included for
that price would be to borrow enough to proceed with
Village Hall next door even though it would not be
construct�d immediately, con5truct Public Safety, take
care of Mr. Ladd's department, take care of financing for
Tequesta Plaza and the road through it, and give r�r.
Zuccarelli back his property. village Nlanager Bradford
explained that the mo�t expensive scenario would be to.
build Village Hall at Tequesta Plaza, and build Police
and Fire facilities on the present site for which the
total cost would be $6,016,000, and that the Village was
$99,000 sh�rt in terms of funds on hand. Village Manager
Bradford explained if there were no Tequesta Plaza, or if
it were paid off in cash, the amount needed to construct
Police and Fire would be $2.4 million and the Village

would have $106,000 to the good, or $1.56,000 in annual
debt service. Mr. Bradford explained that the Village
was paying down the debt for the Tequesta Plaza property
and the road on a monthly basis, so that over time it
might be paid o�f so that the Village would not need to
borrow. The next scenario described by the Village
Manager was to have Police and Fire Rescue at the present
site and Tequesta Plaza, or ever�rthing except a village
Hali, assuming the Village sold its property back to JMZ
for $477,000, the cost would be $3.7 million, $238,000
debt service per year, and the viZlage would be $24,000
to the good.. Co-Chair Dalacl� commented that the Village
would lose a million dollars. Co-Chair Capretta
explained that it would cost the Village a million
dollar� to get rid of the old building at Tequesta Qlaza
and to own the road. Co-Chair Capretta summarized that
with this scenario, all af the o1d commitments downtown
woul.d be taken care of, the vilia�e would buy the land
-• for the road, put the road �n, g�ve Mr. zuccarelli back °
. his land, eiiminate ara.y thought of a Village Hal.l....
downtown, by i�ngl�cation.a Village Hall would be built
next door someday, and Police and Fire Rescue and
Community Development would be taken care of, all for
$3.7 million. Village Manager Bradford commented the
next scenario was the same only the Village would 1�eep
the parcel downtown, which would cost $4.17 million.
Village Manager Bradford reported �here was $262,000 in
reserves today from recurring revenue sou�ces. In the
$3.7 million scenar�.o, the village Manager reported that
the annual dEbt service on a 30-year revenue bond would
be $238,QOd.
Finance Direc�or Connie xolloman presented a chart
pro�ecting revenues until the year 2010, which she
explained did not include any construction at Tequesta
Plaza and no future growth of residential homes, anly
what the Village had at the present time or what was in
progress. The Finance Director explained that $223,000

-----------------------
annual debt service would finance $5 millian, and keeping
the standard 20�r of �xpenditures as fund bal.ance. In the
year 2Q03 additional funds would be needed, which did not
include any projected growth, and tax increases. Co-
Chair Capretta questioned whether the Village could
afford �3,7 millian, to whic$ Ms. Holloman responded
aff irmatively, and stated that no deficit would occur
until 2005 assuming no capital development. Village
Manager Bradford explained that the forecast was that the
Village had $262,000 set aside today which would go to
$371,Q00, or enough to finance $6-7 million. Chair
Mackail comme�ted that with the fund balance at 20� of
ex�enditures, the balance in the Water Enterprise Fund
was increasing an averag� of $304,000 per year, and was
no�. being discussed, but showed that this was very
conservative. Chair Ma.ckail cornmented that water could
be signi�icant in paying back the deb�. village Manager
Bradford commented that the Community Development
Enterprise Fund had not been considered ei�her: Village
.: Manage�':_� Bradford commented that this t�me next year if _.
in�.erest rates stayed the same, the Village would h�ve
enpugh to borrow $5,762,000, and if the Committee were
inclined to do Pub�ic Safety only then he recammended
interim financing via the lett�r of credit.
Co-Chair Dalack commented his respect for all those
present had increased immensely since he had bECOrne a
rnember of the Village Council, and questioned how the
Village Council could have made the deal they made with
Tequesta Pla�a, and if it was as bad a5 he thought then
he would be willing to donate h�.s tal.ents �o find a way
out. Village Manager Bradford explained tha� major
pieces to the puzzle were left out, which included the
acquisition of the road right-of-way plus the square
footage for the parcel that the Village had an option to
sell back to �MZ, that the village owned the building
today, and it was the best deal the Village could make to
get rid of the eyesore dbwntown. Chair Mackail commented

P�sGE 1 �
-----------------------
that he was probably �hs one w�a had wanteri �o buy the
Tequesta Plaza property langest, and several attempts
were made without success; and this had become a
dilapidated area and was a bad financial s�tuation for
businesses, plus �he village's de�ire ta help Lighthouse
Gallery have a larger facility. Chair Mackail explained
that �he Village had reserved the righ� for Lighthouse
Gallery to have 38,000 square feet of space with the
ability to �inas�ce a facility through industrial revenue
bonds. Lighthouse Gallery had been asking the Village
for ten �rears to help them. Chair Mackail commented that
the Village had collected $�.6 millian in the Jupiter
water lawsuit, which �e personally had wanted to
contribute to Lighthouse Gallery, but the residents did
not want to do that. Chair Mackail stated, think of the
good that could have don� to provide future cultural
facilities for Lighthouse Galler�r, which would have been
an investment back into the community. Chair Mackail
- commented that he looked'at the long-term approach, and°--
, it had been a very �.ong process to puC an �nd to t�e
biggest eyeso�e in the village. Co-Chair Capretta
commented this was the only option that had worked to get
rid of the eyesore.
Chair Mackail commented he wauld like ta keep the option
availabie for the dawntown site. Chair Mackail agreed
with Co-Chair Capretta on doing the $3.7 million option,
for which Villag� Manager Bradford stated the were enaugh
, funds on hand today to pay annual debt service and to
have an excess of $24,000, and that with this option the
downtown site would still be owned by the villag�.
Vill.age Manager Bradford commented there was no hurry to
finance through 3Q-year revenue bonds since the letter of
credit could be used for any of the alternatives.
Chair Mackail stated a motion was needed to give Village
Manager Bradford the ability to proceed with a one �tory
facility for Fire Rescue at a cost of $1,375 million; the

�' sc�uare footac�e for Police, and addi�ional sc�{uare foo�age
for the Communit�r Deve�opment Department. Co-Chair
Dalack questioned how exgensive it wou�ct be to �et an
idea Qf ha�r much a combined Public Safety �acility would
cost and i� zt mi�ht cost the same to get a new £aci.lit�r
without taking into consid�r.at3on the $65,Q00 a}.�e�dy
spent. Co-�hair Dalack explained that if it v�auld coat
' no more to have a new unitary facility for both Police
and Fire Rescue that he wouid ra�her do that than to
• huild a fa��Iit� fQr Fire Resc�ue ar�d renavate the
existing,buildin� for the Police, and asked haw fm�ch it
would cost to ex�3ore that �ossibilit�r. Co-Chai� Dalaek
sta�ed he did not be�ieve-this would throw the Comm:�tt2e
off-traek because if it was too ex�ensive t�e� eotxld
return �o the scenario they had c�ecici�c� u�on. Village
Manager Bradford commented that th� North Palm Beach
facilit�r had cost $4 millic�n and based on what they had
�aid and if Tec�uesta had the same co�ts as North Palm
Beach it would cost $2.2 million for a unified Public
Safety �acilit� and the architect �ould probably prepare
a desi�n for appro�cimatel� $1, 500; Village �.++.[anaqer
Bradford estimated the project wouid cost $2.4 million
including architectural fees, which was very close �o the
scenario that had been discussed today, for which Village
Cierk Manganieilo explained the desi�n was 3D� complete.
Co-Chair Ca�retta commented that the cost o� tearing down
the exzsting building, the cost of maving operations
somewhere for i-1/2 years would probably cost another $i
mzllion by the time everything was finished for the
Pubiic Safety unified complex. Co-Chair Dalack commented
that t�,e current plan was giee�meal and if it wouid be
Iess ex�er�sive or approximately the same money for a
u�ified eomplex i�e would �refer t�.e u�if�ed �om�Yex; if
it would be more expen�ive or would c�u�e inordir��te

delay then he was not in favor of a unified complex. It
was estimated the architect would need two weeks to do a
cost estimate. Co-Chair Capre�ta comanented all the right
questions needed to be pre�ented to the architect,
including time delays.
village Manager Brad�ord suggested that the Committee
a11ow staff to go forward with the piecemeal approaeh,
meanwhile having the arek�itect do an estimate for a
unified facility. The Committee could vote today on
whether to proceed with the $3.7 mil7.ion scenario, and it
would come to the Village Council at their August 12,
1999 meeting as a Committee Report of this meeting, which
would allow time for the architect ta do an estimate on
a unified €acility. When the full Village Couneil voted
that was when staff would take direction, and a� the
August 12, 1.999 meeting the a�chitect's estima.ted. cost to
build a unified complex wou7.d be presented. The cost for
twc� options would }ae -presented: t�.} to have Police and
Fire Rescue in one building, and (2) to have every�hing
in one building. Councilr�ember Dalack commented �hat if
�verything cauld be included in ane building for $4
million, or $5 ma,llion at the most, the Village would be
b�tter off. �7'illage Clerk Manganiello explained that it
would take 6-7 mon�hs to complete all documents for th.e
piecemeal plan, and 18-20 month� from August �999 before
two buildings were completed. Co-Chair Dalack �omm�z�ted
that obtaining cost �stimates would not hold things up.
Co-Chair Capretta commented that zn the $3.7 million
scenario the Tequesta Plaza property would be sold back
to Mr. Zuccarel].i; Village Manager Bradford responded if
the Committee wished to keep that option open the cost
would be $4.1 mi�lion. village Clerk Manganiel�o
clarified that direction to the architect would be to
produce cos� estimates for one building for Fire and
Police in a unified Publ.ic Safety building; and one
building which included all functions of the Village.
Acting Fire Chief Burnsed commented he did not want to

take an� mor� bad news back t4 his staff. Chair Mackail
stated there was no bad news goinq back toniqht, that the
Fire Rescue �epartment would get either a new facility
with a separate renovated building for the Police, or a
new facility with both departments unified, which would
be voted on at the August village Council meeting, and
�tated this news should help boost morale within the Fire
Rescue Department.
Peggy verhoeven questioned which scenarios included
allowing Mr. �uecarelli �o buy back the Tequesta Plaza
pareel for $477,Q00, to which the response was that irt
the $3.6 million scenario the Village would get the
$477,OOfl and in the $4.1 mil].io�. ogtion the village wouid
keep the land. Village Ma.nager Bradford explained that
per the agreernent with JMZ Properties, the Village
Council.had two years to decide what to do with the land,
and at two years r�r. Zuccarelli had to give the Village
the - ��77, 000 . -
` Betty Nagy ques�ioned where the firemen wou.ld go during
construction of the new building, to which Chair Mackail
responded that would be decided later by staff.
Hattie Siegel questioned wh�ther anticipated additional
costs of furnishings and uti�ities were included to which
Chair Mackail responded that they were included.
Chair Mackail commen.ted that a motion was needed to
proceed forward with the pl�n praposed for the Fire
Rescue facility new construction; to proceed forward with
the Police �acility renovation; and/or to allow staff to
come back with one plan to create a brand new facility
housed as Public Safety; the cost of the first option for
brand new Fire Safety was $1.375 million, the cost to
renovate the existing Village Hall to become a Police
facility was $553,000; for a total cost of $1,928,000;
