V. U�FINISHED BU5I�ESS
Chairwoman Cook asked whether she should contact the Village
Manager about the Certificate of Appreciation for Stephen
Parker after the landscaping is finished or not. The Board
members felt she should proceed with the letter now.
� Boardmember Maitland commented about two "private driveway"
signs she noticed in the Village, and on further discussion as
to location of said signs, Mr. Ladd informed her the locations
were the property of Waterway Village.
Chairwoman Cook said she has noticed a pile of rocks being
left �in someone's driveway that Nichols has not picked up.
Mr. Ladd said he would check with Gary Preston about this.
Further discussion ensued about trash and special items not
being picked up.
Boardmember Maitland said that her maid from Riviera Beach was
appalled by the way Tequesta Drive looks the day before trash
is to be picked up because everyone has their trash out
already. Boardmember Maitland said that in Riviera Beach,
everyone has matching trash cans, so why can't Tequesta. She
also said that there is a fine in Riviera Beach if trash is
put out too soon. Chairwoman Cook suggested that something be
put in the newsletter about putting the trash out.
Chairwoman Cook then asked about the Ordinance dealing with
people not cutting their grass. Mr. Ladd said if the lawn is
not maintained, the owners are notified, the Village sends
someane in �o cut the grass, and then it is liened against the
property. Mr. Ladd said the initial complaint should be
directed to the Police Department.
Boardmember Coben said the colors of the Dance 10 sign clashed
with the buildi:ng and that they had agreed to change the color
of the trim to a darker color, but as yet have not done it.
Mr. Ladd said he will look into this.
Chairwoman Cook said the landscaping in the center of II.S.
Hwy. One North is looking bad and said the Village needs to be
more careful about what type of plants are being planted due
to cost of maintenance and/or replacing them.
Boardmember Dalack feels that the landscaping planned for the
west side of the railroad track will not show up and that it
will be a waste of money. Chairwoman Cook suggested the Board ,
look at the area and make their recommendation.

Boardmember Maitland said there was a big light on Rinker
property at night that can look like an approaching freight
train. Mr. Ladd will look into this. -
Chairwoman Cook was concerned that the Village spent $2500 for
a landscaping consultant and came up with a plan that the
Board did not even have in mind, and suggested they be
approached about their ideas in the future, and use consultant
money on plants.
VI. CONII�IUNICATIONS FROM CITIZENS
No one from the public was in attendance at this meeting.
VII. ANY OTHER MATTERS
Chairwoman Cook asked Mr. Ladd to find out why the Village
Manager is videotaping the CAB Meeting.
Boardmember Maitland brought up the topic of the siren that
goes off at various times, and Mr. Ladd said it was at the
Country Club to warn of lightning at the golf course.
Chairwoman Cook asked the Board if they saw the article in the
paper about DiVosta buying Lighthouse Plaza. Various
boardmembers made comments about the impending construction in
this area, and Boardmember Coben urged them to attend the
Village Council Meeting on Thursday to voice their comments.
Boardmember Maitland brought a memorandum to Joann Manganiello
regarding the proposed art school. West Palm Beach has an art
school and she does not feel there is a need for two so close
together. Again, Boardmember Coben urged that the proper
forum for these comments is at the Village Council Mesting.
Chairwoman Cook said she did not feel that 4200 people can
support this Downtown project. Boardmember Coben stressed the
i.mportance that they attend the Village Council Meetings to
voice their concerns, that the only people that show up a=e
the ones in favor of said project.
Boardmember Maitland revisited her concern that the library
has no plans for future expansion, computers, etc. and feels
it is a completely inadequate plan. Boardmember Strahan
pointed out the CAB is not the proper committee with regard to
size of the library, but only to judge appearance af library.
He also urged the Board to attend Village Council Meetings to
discuss these types of topics. �
