IV. NEW BUSINESS
(1) An application from Allan Bir, owner of Lot 17,
Tequesta Subdivision, located at 51 River Drive,
requesting a variance to the terms of the Official
Comprehensive Zoninq Ordinance of the Village of
Tequesta, Ordinance No. 355, as amended, Section
XVI, IIniform Waterway Control, Subsection (B), Dock
and Pier Length, Width and Confiquration, Paragraph
(1), to allow the construction of a 4' X 100' dock
with a 6' X 16' terminal platfor�, in lieu of no
dock or pier being constructed which extends
waterward fron the mean hiqh water line in excess
of seventy-five feet (75'), as required by the
Zoning Ordinance.
Gene Wehage, representing applicant Allan Bir, explained the
variance was being requested for environmental reasons and
to get more draft for Mr. Bir's boat, and that in March of
1991 a variance had been approved for the property next door
for a 110' dock. Scott D. Ladd, Clerk of the Board, read
into the record the following letter from Stanley Jacobs:
'Board of Adjustment: I have no objection to Mr. Al1an Bir
constructing a 4' X 100' dock with a 6� x 16• terminal
platform as his neighbor at 43 River Drive. However, this
should be submitted to the Architectural Review Board of the
Tequesta Country Club Community Association before final
permitting. Stanley B. Jacobs.' Scott D. Ladd then read
into the record the following letter from Joseph F. Cusano,
Jr. and Charlene Cusano, who live next door at 47 River
Drive, Tequesta: 'Dear Clerk of the Board, I am not one
who normally objects to property improvements. Our
unfortunate dilemma is we are in Connecticut and cannot make
the board meeting and hope this letter can be read and
submitted on the 18th of April, 1994. I am dismayed at the
length of the dock into the water and most importantly
(which may not be a determent to most people) is the visual
restriction of the natural water view and sunsets. It will

--------------------------
not make myself or my wife happy to look at a dock, a boat
and a hoist. Please note this has stopped us from applying
and putting in a dock on our own property. I also own and
have owned other properties and feel a dock breeds algae and
catches debris while restricting natural water flow when
allowed to be this large. I am asking that the dock be
constructed on the northern end of the seawall (where the
old dock now is). I personally feel the river is visually
too beautiful and natural. To take this away from us
defeats our purpose of owning this property. Sincerely,
Joseph F. Cusano, Jr.' Mr. Wehage explained that the dock
was planned to accommodate two boats, with one on a hoist.
Because of setbacks the dock could not be positioned farther
north. Scott D. Ladd pointed out DERM (Department of
Environmental Resources Management) had mandated 10
conditions which must be followed, therefore limiting
placement of the dock, and that there was no cap on the
number of boats. Mr. Wehage agreed that there would be
enough draft if the dock were 90 feet instead of 100 feet
long.
Vice Chairman DelKott �oved that the Application for Variance
be approved with the length of the dock set at 90 feet.
Boardme�aber Nelson secanded the aotion. The vote on the
motion was:
Kenneth Northamer - f or
A1 f red Del�ott - for
Edwin Nelson � - for
Wayne Shindoll - for
Susan Brennan - for
the motion was therefore passed and adopted.
V. IINFINISHED BIISINESS
(1) Tabled from �ch 21, 1994, a revised application
fro� Brian G. Wayne, owner of Lot 472, Tequesta
Subdivision, located at 128 Fairview 8ast,
requestinq a variance to the terms of the Official
Comprehensive Zoning Ordi.nance of the Village of
Tequesta, Ordinance No. 355, as amended, Section
VII (C), Schedule of Site Regulations, R-lA
District, minimum side yard setback, to allow fo=
the enclosinq of an existing porch with a side yard
setback of 8.4• in lieu of ten feet (10'j, as
.

-------------------------- .
required by the Zoning Ordinance. �
Brian Wayne explained that he had discovered that the survey
of his property which showed 2.5' from his existing porch to
the property line was in error. He then had the property
re-surveyed and there is actually 8.4' from the existing
porch to the property line. Since he would like to have a
20' X 20' room he asked for a variance allowing an 8.4 side
yard setback. Hurant Tavetian, owner of property at 132
Fairview East, stated he objected to variances to code as
much as possible, and that when a job is started on Mr.
Wayne's lot it hangs on for months and people come to Mr.
Tavetian asking when it will be cleaned up. He stated he
had been on the roof of Mr. Wayne's porch when the former
property owner lived there and he had found it to be in a
state of disrepair, with dry rot present. He asked the
Board to consider a time frame for Mr. Wayne's project. Mr.
� Wayne stated he was not ready to begin work at this time but
was requesting this variance so that he would know what
would be permitted when he was ready to begin the project,
and that once he started the project it would be completed
timely in accordance with the contractor's schedule. He
stated that Deputy Building Official Steven Kennedy had
inspected the roof and found no dryrot.
Boardmesber Nelson moved that the Application for Variance
be approved granting an 8.4' variance for a lineal length of
approxiaately 8 feet. Vic� Chairman Del�iott seconded the
motion. The vote on the motion was:
Renneth Northamer - for
Alfred Del�iott - for
Edwin Nelson - for
Wayne Shindoll - for
Susan Brennan - for
The motion was therefore passed and adopted.
VI. ANY OTHSR MATrffi2S
There were no other matters to be brought before the Board.
VII. ADJOURNI�NT
Boardme�ber DelKott moved that the meeting be adjourned.
Boardmember Brennan seconded the motion. The vote on the
motion was:

I. CALL TO ORDER AND ROLL CALL
The Board of Trustees of the Tequesta Firefighters Pension'and
Trust Fund held its regularly sck�eduled meeting at the Village
Hall, 357 Tequesta Drive, Tequesta, Florida, on Thursday,
. March 3, 1994. The meeting was called to order by Village
Manager Thomas G. Bradford at 9:02 A.M. A roll call was taken
by Cheryl Mayer, the Recording Secretary. In attendance at
the meeting were: Thomas G. Bradford, Ron T. Mackail, Bill
Davis, Roy 011iff, Village Attorney John C. Randolph, Village
Clerk Joann Manganiello, and Fire Chief James M. Weinand.
II. APPROVAL OF AGENDA
Mr. Bradford moved to approve the Agenda. Lt. Davis seconded
motion. The vote on the motion was:
Thomas G. Bradford - for
Ron T. Mackail - for
Bill Davis - for
Roy 011iff - for �
the motion was therefore passed and adopted and the Agenda was
approved as submitted.
III. APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Chief Weinand had a question as to whether Mr. Bradford and
Mr. Mackail were appointed by name rather than title. Mr.
Bradford asked Ms. Manganiello to retrieve the Resolution that
addresses this issue.
In the meantime, Mr. Bradford asked if there were any other
questions regarding the minutes, and there were none. Mr.
Mackail moved to approve the Minutes of December 8, 1993. Mr.
011iff seconded the motion. The vote on the motion was:

IV. REVIEW OF REQUESTED INFORMATION FROM THE FLORIDA LEAGUE OF
CITIES -
Pursuant to Mr. Bradford's request at the December 8th
meeting, Agenda backup information is included in the
Agreement Between the Florida League of Cities and the
investment firm handling the portfolio of the Pension Trust
Fund (Exhibit I), and the Municipal Trust Fund Booklet which
outlines the provisions (Exhibit II). He also had asked for �
clarification regarding the actuarials being done every two
years vs. a statement about an evaluation of the Plan every
three years in the adopting Ordinance. Mr. Bradford feels the
League's response was vague in their letter of January 27.
Mr. Randolph thinks they are advising that the actuarial
report be done once a year rather than every three years, but
also felt the response was somewhat nebulous. Chief Weinand
asked what the cost was of an actuarial study, and Mr.
Bradford replied that it was $3,500. Chief Weinand asked what
age the actuarial was based on, and Nir. Bradford said the ages
were fairly close to the actual ages of the firefighters.
Mr. Mackail said it is required that an actu�rial study be
done eve•ry three years, but that it can be done more often if
the Board so desires, at a cost to the Trust Fund. Mr.
Bradford was not sure this was accurate, as he feels those
costs were a part of the administrative costs of the Municipal
Pension Trust. Mr. Randolph concurred. Mr. Mackail feels the
Board is in a good position with the League, unless they
decide down the road they want another carrier. Mr. Randolph
and Mr. Bradford felt there needs to be clarification from Mr.
Kascavelis whether the Fund conducts the actuarial relative to
Tequesta's particular Plan, and if they do, is that part of.
the service fees that were paid to the League, and how often
it is done.
Information was received on how to nominate someone as a
member to the Municipal Trust Fund. The nominee must be an
elected official.
Mr. 011iff expressed his concern about health care coverage
upon retirement. Joyce Case refers to the COBRA law in her
letter. Mr. Bradford clarified that what Mr. 011iff is asking
Y
FF Pension Board
Page 3
is whether extra monies,can be deducted today to pay for
health care upon retirement at a cost equal to what working
firefighters pay at that time. Further discussion took place
regarding this subject and the drafting of a letter to Joyce
Case being more specific. At this point in the meeting, Mr.
Kascavelis arrived and was briefed on the subject at hand. Mr.
Kascavelis said Ms. Case indicated there was no such provision
for health care at this point in time, but that it could be
done.
He was concerned, along with the auditors, about Florida
Statute Section 175-162, regarding no more than 3 percent
reduction for early retirement. In Tequesta's plan, the
percentage is 5 percent. He asked for clarification, and Ms.
Case responded that since Tequesta is a local plan, they are
not required to meet this 3 percent requirement. Mr.
Rascaveli.s feels that this needs to be studied further due to
possible violation. Mr. Mackail suggested drafting a letter
to the League showing compliance with the State of Florida
relative to Sec. 175-162, getting a response in writing only.
V. DISCUSSION OF APPOINTMENT OF FIFTH ME1�ER OF THE BOARD OF
TRUSTEES PURSUANT TO SECTION 3, 1
Mr. Bradford discussed making a decision as to the Chair and
. Vice-Chair and that they would wait until an appointment of
the fifth member of the Board was made. Mr. Mackail had a
response from an attorney, Mr. William Sharpless, who
presently serves on the Code Enforcement Board, and who has
indicated he would resign from that Board to serve on the
Pension Board. Mr. Mackail indicated Mr. Sharpless was semi-
retired and has a background in pensions. It was agreed by
the Board that Mr. Mackail would contact Mr. Sharpless and ask
him for a resume for review by the Board.
VI. ANY OTBER MATTERS
The Village Clerk retrieved the Ordinance wherein it indicates
the Manager and Mayor are selected by name, and the minutes
are technically correct.
Mr. Bradford said the Police and Fire Pension Fund Office are
interested in having someone from Tequesta attend the
Trustee's School Program in Tallahassee on March 15 and 16,
and_asked if anyone was interested in going. No one indicated
any interest at this time.
Mr. Bradford informed Ms . Manganiello to make arrangements for
Fran Bitters to cover next Pension Board Meeting, which will
be held more formally at the dias.
K
•
Pension Board Meetinq
page 4
Mr. Bradford mentioned that at other Board Meetings, they have
reports of new hires under the Plan, current fund balances,
etc., and suggested this Board have the same. Mr. Randolph
agreed that a report should be provided. Mr. Mackail
suggested it include the fund balance, the portfolio of
investments, return on investments, new participants, etc.
Mr. Kascavelis indicated he has quarterly reports and will
distribute same for each meeting showing investment summary.
Mr. Bradford said this should be made an Agenda Item.
VII. COl�IIKUNICATIONS FROM THE PUBLIC
Mr. Wade Griest asked how often the meetings would be held,
and who the members of the Board were, and Mr. Bradford
responded that the meetings would be held quarterly unless
needed more often, and gave.him the name of the members. Mr.
Griest then asked the average age of the firefighters, and was
told late 20's to early 30's.
Mr. Hal Hutchinson brought up the 3$ vs. 5� issue, and
• indicated that 3� is the norm. Mr. Mackail thought the
Village was using the 5� figure because they had brought the
age of retirement down to 52 vs. 55.
Mr. 011iff asked if someone left early, would they get their
contribution back with interest, and Mr. Rascavelis said they
would just get back their contribution if they left before ten ,
years, but will look into this further.
Mr. Hutchinson asked if their funds were transferrable to
' another plan, and Mr. Bradford said they were not.
Mr. Bradford said the next meeting would be held the second
quarter of 1994 unless something of urgency comes up that
should be attended to before then.
Mr. Hutchinson suggested they have a special meeting to
appoint the fifth member, and Mr. Bradford agreed that could.
be beneficial.
' VIII. ADJOURNMENT
Mr. Bradford moved to adjourn the meeting. Mr. 011iff
seconded the motion. The vote on the motion was:
Thomas G. Bradford - for
Ron T. Mackail - for
Bill Davis - for

-------------------------------
Mr. Bennett reported that he had looked into possibilities for
financing for the Village's proposed Capital Improvement
Programs. He sent letters to four local commercials banks
(Sun Bank; Nations Bank; First IInion; Barnett Bank, who are
usually in the market to buy tax-exempt securities) and asked
for their response, with particular parameters: 1) a Bond.
Issue, of a particular size, with 20 years to maturity; 2)
costs kept to a certain maximum.
Sun Bank's response was not in the best interests of the
Village, since they desired to adjust the rate on the Bonds
every five years; Barnett Bank sent a tentative proposal with
a quoted rate of 6.15�. One condition of their proposal was
not favored by the Financial Advisor who is presently working
to resolve that problem. When a formal proposal is received,
that will be immediately shared with the Village.

Discussion took place as to whether Village maintenance
vehicles, lawn maintenance crews, service crews, etc. would be
allowed to park in swale areas. Because the Ordinance does
not clearly address these issuea, it was suggested that the
Ordinance be tabled to allow for provision of the above
concerns.
Council�e�aber Collings moved to table the above-referenced
Ordinance until the Village Attorney could be allowed time to

done either through the Bond Issue or the Capital
Improvement Fund. In addition, Comprehensive Plan
amendments will take place to reduce the useable right-
of-way on Country Club Drive.
4) Constitutioa Park: This item is in the Bond Issue,
costing approximately $410,000. $92,000 will be funded
through Recreation Impact Fees. Improvements will be:
upgrading of the parking lot with lighting, landscaping
and irrigation. The Park itself will have gazebo, heart
trail with exercise stations, handball/racquetball court
with future room for expansion; volley ball and
basketball courts; tot lot, and open space.
The Village is being sued by three ladies who claim that
the lease should be overturned since they feel the
facilities will not strictly be used for the youth of the
area and that the JTJC Charter requires them to provide
activities specifically for youth.
5) Dover Ditch: The Village is proceeding with securing
the permit needed for mangrove mitigation, sometimes
costly and timely. The Village Engineer has applied for
a Grant from the South Florida Water Management Distzict
since this project is eligible for that type of funding.

in place, closing the Ditch from Seabrook to Riverside
Drive.

------------------
The County has some concerns regarding a downtown
location: 1) they want a free-standing building,
regarding both maintenance and operations; 2) concerns
regarding cross-utilization of facilities; and 3) parking
must be adjacent to the Library with a lot configuration
as opposed to off-street parking.
These issues would have to be resolved before receiving
Palm Beach County Library Staff support.
RI. ANY OTHER MATTERS
o Councilmember Schauer asked the status, regarding the May
4 Memorandum from the Village Manager to the Village
Council regarding the Martin County Bridge weight load
restrictions. Lt. Allison, Tequesta Police Department,
was told by FDOT that Martin County has not yet been
informed of the latest load rating analysis for their
bridges. The bridges have a higher rating than that
which is posted; however, there appears to be nothing
illegal about posting a bridge weight limit less than
that which it is rated.
o Chairmaa Capretta stated that Lantana, Florida has passed
a series of Ordinances requiring that certain things must
be done to properly maintain the appearance of private
residences to protect the value of neighbaring
properties. He suggested the Village Manager visit
Lantana to review this issue to determine whether it is
something Tequesta should do.
- o Mayor Mackail - spoke in regard to the upcoming Budget,
stating that he felt it would behove the Village to
consider all potential ad valorem tax available within
the Village, and asked the Village Staff e�cplore the
opportunity the Village might have regarding the Gallery
Square North parking lot. He asked that the Village
Manager discover the value of that property and ways and
means of disposing of such.
IR. CO�ICATIONS FROM CITIZBNS
o Dr. Stan Legner stated he has compiled a log of traffic
and speeders on Country Club Drive and felt that what the
Village is doing to curb such is not effective enaugh.

o Cliff Sracht - Country Club Drive resident, stated that
trucks and car traffic on Country Club Drive still is not
being properly addressed.
o Ann Chapman - stated that she no longer enjoys driving in
Tequesta, with the speed limit on Country Club Drive
reduced to 25 miles per hour. She felt the speed
reduction was unconscionable of the Village Council and
that more consideration should be given to properly
repairing the road as opposed to lowering the speed
li.mit. She further felt Tequesta should not try to
segregate itself from surrounding communities since
isolationism is not the `American way'.
