AT CHAPTER 10. ANIMALS. ARTICLE 11. DOGS AND CATS. BY CREATING AN
ENTIRELY NEW SEC. 10-39. BREEDING AND SALE OF DOGS AND CATS. IN ORDER
TO ADOPT NEW REGULATIONS REGARDING THE BREEDING AND SALE OF DOGS
AND CATS; PROVIDING THAT EACH AND EVERY OTHER SECTION AND
SUBSECTION OF CHAPTER 10. ANIMALS
Mayor Brennan stated that she had spoken to Attorney Davis regarding Ordinance 17-14 and
asked Council for their direction. Council Member Paterno felt the ordinance was un-
American and persons properly opening businesses should not be restricted. Council agreed.
Consensus of Council was to not move forward with Ordinance 17-14.
2. Budget Reviews: 2013/2014 and 2014/2015
Manager Couzzo summarized the budgets and noted specifics regarding figures up to the
present date.
Council Member Okun reminded Council of the safety issue at a particular Tequesta Drive
bus stop and requested that money be located to produce the previously discussed lighting
for the area obscured by vegetation. Council Member Paterno felt the budget had a$15,000
shortage and there was no funding for additional items. Manager Couzzo stated funds could
be appropriated for the lights if Council so desired and explained the low profile lighting that
had been considered. Ms. JoAnn Forsythe, Finance Director, suggested the lighting project
be postponed for the 2014/2015 budget cycle to allow time for bids.
Council discussed specific figures associated with departments aiong with future prospects
regarding necessary positions and legal budgets. Ms. Merlene Reid, Human Resources
Director, offered insight regarding high legal expenses and liability insurance associated with
ViAage Council 1Norkshop Minutes

the Village's legal needs and explained the insurance was more cost effective to the Village.
Manager Couzzo felt staff had utilized the attorneys more than what he believed was actually
necessary, which had incurred unnecessary costs. He noted that department heads were
asked to inquire with administration for answers before utilizing the Village attorneys.
Ms. Forsythe summarized the budget and noted Florida Statute rulings which were
associated with Council decisions and the budget. She explained that Michelle Gload (Senior
Accountant) analyzed spending closely and alerted departments along with the Village
Manager when necessary. Manager Couuo explained that he also looked at the budget
daily, and that some expenses were unexpected and unavoidable. Vice Mayor Arena asked
how many departments had gone over budget. Manager Couuo responded that none had,
with the exception of legal. Ms. Forsythe advised that there were many departmental
amendments and suggested they be monitored more closely and disallowed. She also felt
that no additional Capital items should be bought outside of the defined budget and that
management training regarding budgets wou{d be beneficiai.
Council Member D'Ambra suggested quarterly budget meetings be held with staff. Manager
Couzzo agreed. Ms. Reid suggested any person requesting a budget amendment be required
to exptain the reason. Councif Member Paterno fett the Vitiage had afready imposed a 20%
tax increase over the past two years. Mayor Brennan reminded Council that the rate had
fallen for many consecutive years and needs could not be met at that pace. Council Member
Patemo suggested cutting the Military-To-Main-Street (MTMS) initiative as he felt it was bad
management and funds were going toward persons that could not be hired. He then stated
that he preferred budget savings to balance out the need for a tax increase. Manager Couzzo
reported that the budget was very close and more budgetary trimming would cause staff to
return to Council to request more money.
Council Member D'Ambra suggested addressing some very serious Capital needs with some
of the incoming revenue to free up some of the budget deficiencies such as the sale of
Remembrance Park. Manager Couzzo stated that the Village had a request in with the
Treasury Department regarding ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) funds of
approximately $267,000 awarded to the Village. He explained that the money would be used
specifically for the police department. Council Member Paterno suggested the funds be
placed in the Capita! Fund and spent over the long term. Mayor Brennan con�rmed the ptan
to spend $80,000 on police cars.
Ms. Forsythe reminded Council they could not budget money they did not currently have on
hand.
3. Discussion Regarding Creating an Annual Performance Review for the Village
Manager
Mayor Brennan offered a draft appraisaf specific to the Viitage Manager which, per Attomey
Davis needed full Council consensus to move forward or, it must go through a regular Council
meeting vote.

Council and staff offered ideas and changes. Ms. Merlene Reid, Human Resources Direct�
established the Village's existing appraisals and procedures and pointed out that union
employees were evaluated with a two level appraisal and non-union employees assessed
with three levels. Council Member D'Ambra suggested adding more levels to the appraisal.
Ms. Reid explained that additional levels would not meet the Village's need as there was no
need for outstanding evaluations as there was not a merit system linked to the procedure.
Council agreed to each provide input on the form to the Village Attorney and bring it back to
Counci! for fina! approval,
ANY OTHER MATTERS
Vice Mayor Arena suggested the Manager view the Village sign on County Line Road which
he fett was covered by vegetation. Manager Couzzo responded ff�af he woutd.
Council Member Paterno inquired on the status of the Ricciardi contract for Assistant Chief of
Police. Manager Couzzo responded that he and Chief Elg continued to work on the
agreement and were awaiting approval of an upcoming ordinance {regarding compliance
issues) to finalize the document. He noted the concern that the Village would need to comply
with IRS Codes regarding the contract. Mayor Brennan explained that the ordinance would
be read at fihe upcoming budget hearings and would be completed soon. She added that
Council supported the contract and Chief Elg's decision to hire Mr. Ricciardi in the chosen
capacity.

Frank D'Ambra.
Open Public Nearinq
• Announce that the proposed operating millage rate necessary to fund the budget
is 9.64% greater than the rolled-back millage rate of 5.7387 mills.
• Announce Proposed Millage Rate is 6.2920
Attorney Davis announced and clarified the millage rate.
• Summary of Tentative Budget
Ms. JoAnn Forsythe, Finance Director, provided a summary of the proposed millage rate and
budget funds and noted exact totals within the budget.
Council Member D'Ambra noted his rejection of an increase the year previous because of
economic reasons; however he has a different perspective this year. He felt that the budget
should operate as lean as possible and employees had made a strident effort to spend wisely.
He established his support to increase additional revenues, replenish reserves and capital
improvements through what he believed was a necessary increase.
Council Member Paterno stated he had mixed feelings and verified his understanding of the
effect the increase would have on businesses and those without homestead status. He noted
that home values had incurred a three percent County tax increase recently and felt the Village's
proposed four percent would be too much. He advised that he could possibly support the
increase if a budget savings column was added with a focus on reserves and capital
improvements.
Council Member Okun stated that Council had depleted reserves for a number of years and he
felt staff had done more with less for some time. He believed if no increase was made now the
Village would be forced to raise taxes at a painful amount.
Vice Mayor Arena shared his understanding from residents who supported the increase to
maintain the character of the Village. He voiced his feeling that he was happy to be offering
employees' raises as well.
Mayor Brennan commented that a lot of work had gone into the budget and the Village had not
raised the millage rate for over 13 years (prior to last year) and, had even lowered it. She

agreed with Council Member Paterno regarding savings and reassured, that along with
management, Council felt it extremely important to be involved, maintain and monitor the
budget. Council Member Paterno confirmed that money would be moved by Council's direction
into suggested accounts for monitoring and that he would support the increase with that bein�
understood. Mayor Brennan agreed.
• Citizen Comments
Jim Humpage, 562 N. Dover Road supported Council's decision and stated his support of
building reserves and concentrating on infrastructure. He also felt employees needed to be
considered as the cost of living had increased dramatically.

13. VARIANCE 02-14, Variance Application of Bogland Taverns, Inc., 187 Tequesta Drive
Attorney Davis swore in seven people associated with Variance 02-14 & SEU 01-14, he then
asked Council for any ex parte communications, there were none.
Nilsa C. Zacarias, Director of Community Development offered back ground on both items
and noted parking and code issues and applicant concerns along with details associated with
the plaza.
Attorney Charles Thomas, Bogland Tavern representative explained the short sale process
which the restaurateur had been through and the parking issues that had been a long term
problem which detoured potential buyers. He stated that without a variance, the property
could not be sold and was currently an eye sore to the community.
Village Council Minutes September 11, 2014

Council Member Okun questioned potential liability relating to the parking area across the
street which had been utilized for overflow uses. Manager Couzzo stated Council was not
being asked to consider the parking area in accordance with this item. Attorney Davis noted
that special conditions must be established as an existing problem, not produced. He sated
the appticant was responsible to provide verification. Council Member Paterno noted previous
issues with the proximity of the business, problematic parking and that neighbors felt a
hardship was created. He felt this should not be something the residents have to pay for.
Council Member Paterno moved to deny the variance; a second was not received, the motion
died.
Gary Nagle, Real Estate Attorney, provided a handout which showed the plat of the
restaurant building, surrounding areas and Tequesta Oaks. He reviewed history of the
adjacent parcels and Council approvals at the time of development and stated it was
unfortunate that a perpetual cross parking easement or adequate parking assurance was not
granted and; thereby believed fault was not due totally to the applicant. Mayor Brennan felt
the issue had been exacerbated by lease nonpayment and was concerned with creating a
new potential issue regarding residents crossing a main street to patronize a business.
Vice Mayor Arena noted the parking area across the street had always been used for
overflow parking. Mr. Nagle noted that people would be advised that they may not park in
neighboring residential areas and must utilize parking across the street in an overflow
situation. He suggested police assist with enforcement if parking occurred in the
neighborhood. Council Member Paterno reminded that the park across the street was on a
short term lease and availability was not guaranteed.
Council Member D'Ambra suggested the applicant contact and secure a long term
arrangement for their parking from Mr. Zuccarelli. Mr. Nagle felt Council should enact a
shared use agreement. Mr. Nagle responded that they had not planned long operating hours
and five hours was all that was needed in the evenings. Mayor Brennan suggested sending
the item back to staff.
John Terzakis, 6 Tall Oaks Circle, felt the application did not correlate with his memory. He
disclosed that he had lived in The Oaks for 13 years and stated the building continuously had
parking issues. Mr. Terzakis noted that times and population had changed and noted that
over flow parking, numerous calls to police, trash, bottles etcetera had been his experience.
Vice Mayor Arena suggested the owner be mandated to pay for security and police for traffic
control of the pedestrian cross way. Mr. Terzakis felt that would not realistically occur and felt
the reduction in parking spaces from 62 to 38 also, did not make sense.
Rosemary Von Zabern, 20 Laurel Oaks, voiced her feelings that McCarthy's was bearable,
although parking was difficult and, the last two businesses were disasters. Her concern was a
variance ran with land and could be passed on to a new disconcerting industry.
Harold Taylor, 13 Chapel Court, felt if the Village desired to clean up US 1, they would not
want a derelict building. He suggested there were two options - to live with the building or
give a variance.

Mayor Brennan encouraged Mr. Luigi Indovino (prospective buyer) to sit with Ms. Zacarias
and the Village Manager and get creative and work with the applicant and Mr. Zuccarelli for a
solution.
Mr. Luigi Indovino felt there was no solution and stated his restaurant was a quality
establishment with customers who would be compliant and no bother. He did not understand
why this was so difficult. Manager Couzzo reiterated that Council had suggested committing
to meeting with staff and contacting Mr. Zuccarrelli for options. Mr. Zacarias noted that
parking code did not allow shared parking and confirmed that parking must be on site.
Mayor Brennan reported that approval would not move forward this evening. Mr. Nagle
responded that they would consent to an extension. No action was taken.

Good Shepherd School. She noted the projected attendance at each event required Council
approval.

their approach to community and relationships. Amy Quigley Good Shepherd Episcopal
