CONSIDERATION OF APPOINTMENT OF MAYOR IN LIGHT OF MAYOR MACICAIL' S RESIGNATION Mayor Mackail thanked the citizens for their comments, stated that the issue at hand was to appoint a Mayor and Vice Mayor, and stated that everyone had the right to run in the March campaign.

Mayor Mackail commented that Vice Mayor Hansen had worked harder than any of the other candidates in the last election, and had represented the Village in the recent ENCON negotiations and worked hard to do what he believed was right. Mayor Mackail commented that residents did not realize the hours • it took to prepare for village Council meetings. Mayor Mackail commented to Pert Towne regarding their meeting the previous evening when she had stopped by his home that he had just arrived home, to which Ms. Towne responded that she had thought Mayor Mackail had been home awhile and apologized. Mayor Mackail commented that everyone had the same opportunity to run for village Council in March, and that the work and decisions made by the Village Council were not easy, and were not done in self interest, but from the heart considering residents. Mayor Mackail commented that the Village Councilmembers deserved credit, as well as the Village Manager and the village Clerk, and that they all tried to do the right thing for the community. Mayor Mackail commented that he would miss serving on the Village Council but that it was time for him to move on and that he could not continue to spread himself so thin. Mayor Mackail stated he appreciated Village Manager Bradford and village Clerk Manganiello, that he wanted to be just like Councilmember Capretta when he grew up, and that he appreciated Vice Mayor Hansen, who worked from the heart.

Vice Mayor Hansen commented that he would add to that appreciation for the leadership Mayor Mackail had provided to the Village as Mayor and in other capacities, such as President of the League of Cities. Village Manager Bradford commented that appointment of a Mayor and Vice Mayor was a matter of doing business in the absence of Mayor Mackail; and that the Mayor was the person designated to conduct Village Council meetings and be the signer on official documents assigned to the Mayor for signature. Village Manager Bradford commented that Friday, . November 5 would be Mayor Mackail's last day and a Mayor needed to be appointed to fill the void left by his departure. Village Manager Bradford explained that appointment of a Vice Mayor was also needed. Village Manager Bradford stated that the Village Charter stated that the village Council may appoint, but did not require appointment. Councilmember Capretta commented he had been Mayor three previous terms. Councilmember Capretta commented that the most important thing about having a Mayor was his role in getting the Village Council to agree to strategy and positions of what to accomplish. Councilmember Capretta commented that he and Mayor Mackail had always agreed on strategy and were clear on what they wanted to see happen, to sell that to the public so that they would agree to a plan. Councilmember Capretta commented that the Village Council had worked on abolishing a whole list of eyesores in the village, and it had been up to the Mayor to articulate the plan. Councilmember Capretta explained that he had wanted to raise the assessed value of the village and that had been his strategy. Councilmember Capretta commented that the Village Council was now in between • VILLAGE COUNCIL SPECIAL NESTING MINUTES November 2, 1999 PAGE 5 strategies, that he wanted a Mayor to work on the current issues to decide how to go at them, and that the new Mayor would need to articulate three plans under consideration for new facilities. Plan A would be consideration of a complete new Village complex at the present site, at a cost of approximately $5 million. Plan B would be to build a new village Hall on the lot next to the present site and to renovate the existing buildings. Another plan would be to build a new Village Hall downtown. Councilmember Capretta explained that he wanted a Mayor who would push a plan through and he would like to start on new facilities within six months. Councilmember Capretta commented that Mr. Zuccarelli's project needed to be finished to complete the downtown area. Councilmember Capretta explained that Village Manager Bradford's job was to implement the things the Village Council had worked on last year or the year . before. Councilmember Capretta stated he did not have to be Mayor in order to accomplish his goals for the Village Council; and stated that when a new Village Council was elected in March that a plan needed to be formulated and supported. Councilmember Capretta commented that for the past 5-6 years he had tried to get a citizen living in another area of the City interested in running for Village Council but when they realized the amount of time and work involved they were not interested. Councilmember Capretta explained that his efforts had failed and it was hard to get people from the whole area. Councilmember Capretta commented that Mrs. Verhoeven had mentioned Mr. Blum, and that he hardly knew Mr. Blum, but Mr. Blum had not attended Village meetings since the election, and that others interested at election time had done the same thing--had come to one or two meetings and then were never seen. Councilmember Capretta commented that the people who attended the meetings were present at today's meeting, that the Mayor should be a leader of people who would continue the dream of what the Village should be in the future, that Mayor Mackail had always had a dream of what he wanted, and that the Village was a better town than it had been when Mr. Capretta moved here.

Mayor Mackail commented that he thought the Village Hall should be downtown. Mayor Mackail commented that the Village had grown by $150 million with only one annexation of ten acres, and he would like to see a new Mayor take the steps Councilmember Capretta talked about. Mayor Mackail stated he could relate everything he wanted item by item, and commented that the Village had improved in the 14 years he had been on the Village Council. Mayor Mackail expressed concern that the present village Hall was in bad shape. Vice Mayor Hansen commented that he totally agreed with Councilmember Capretta, and that every year the Village Council set objectives for the village Council and for staff.

The vice Mayor commented that a decision was needed on the location of a reverse osmosis well for the second train, that plans needed to be made to acquire property for additional future wells, and that staff should work on this to be ready when the demand arose. vice Mayor Hansen • VILLAGE COUNCIL SPECIAL MELTING ffiINOTLS November 2, 1999 PALL 7 stated he agreed with Councilmember Capretta's statement that he did not have to be Mayor to accomplish what he wanted done by the Village Council, and the Vice Mayor stated that he was ready to work for the projects he had just discussed as a Village Councilmember. Councilmember Schauer commented that she agreed with Councilmember Capretta that the Village Council needed a Mayor to focus and guide the Village Council. Councilmember Schauer stated that since she had been on the Village Council that the Council had been unified on most issues. Councilmember Schauer commented she had come to this meeting with the idea of having Vice Mayor Hansen appointed Mayor, that the Village Council had voted for him to be vice Mayor, that they had confidence in him, and that he should fill the vacancy, and that after working with him • for the past couple of years she believed he could provide guidance for the village Council. Councilmember Schauer commented that when she had been Mayor, Vice Mayor Hansen had attended more meetings than she could possibly attend and had represented the Village just as Mayor Mackail had represented the Village. Councilmember Schauer commented that Mayor Mackail had given the Village of Tequesta a name and a reputation for being a very well-run community, which she appreciated. Councilmember Schauer stated she had heard from several people before the meeting objections to appointing vice Mayor Hansen as Mayor, but she felt he would be the best choice for the job at this time.

Mayor Mackail expressed regret that a location for Village Hall had not been decided upon during his term in office. Mayor Mackail commented that the Mayor must be someone who had time to devote to the job and to be available, that it was not an easy job, and that the behind-the-scenes work was very critical.

Councilmember Schauer stated she had been the loner outside the Tequesta Country Club area, but she believed where the Councilmembers lived was not an issue, and that she and the others represented all of the residents of the Village, and considered each issue individually and would continue to do so. Mayor Mackail commented it was nice to find enthusiastic people to fill the positions of Mayor and Vice Mayor. VI. CONSIDERATION OF PROCESS TO FILL OPEN VILLAGB COUNCIL SEAT TO BECOME VACANT UPON RESIGNATION OF MAYOR MACRAIL Mayor Mackail commented that anyone could run for village Council in March, but candidates needed to be someone who came to meetings. Russell Von Frank commented he was ready to nominate Wade Griest, and he was not concerned with • candidates being from specific areas.. Councilmember Capretta questioned whether the Village Council wanted to . vlzzAG$ cotrNClz SPI~CIAL NBETING ffiIN[JTES November 2, 1999 PAGL 10 appoint someone to fill the vacancy until the March election, since Mr. Berube had commented that an appointee would have an advantage as an incumbent, and the Village Council could operate with four people. village Manager Bradford explained that letters had been received from Ed Resnik and Sharon Walker, indicating that both were interested in serving on the Village Council. Councilmember Capretta commented that both Mr. Resnik and Mrs. walker attended meetings. Vice Mayor Hansen clarified that discussion under this agenda item should be regarding the process and not to decide who should be appointed. Th.e Vice Mayor suggested that a decision whether to appoint could be made at the next Village Council meeting and that it should be clear to residents that a position was open, so that possibly more resumes would be received. Councilmember Capretta commented that by the next Village • Council meeting there might be more applicants, and a decision needed to be made whether the village Council wanted to appoint someone to serve for the next 3-4 months. Mayor Mackail recommended appointment of someone to provide continuation of a like mind with the present village Council, rather than having someone who would oppose issues that were critical to the Village, and that there were people in the village who never wanted anything to happen. Mayor Mackail recommended appointment of someone who would help finalize plans that had been set in motion and not go against the established priorities, some of which had been established as early as 1991. Mayor Mackail stated it was important to find a person who had the same goals and objectives for the Village rather than someone who would be self serving. Village Manager Bradford requested direction. Councilmember Dalack proposed an announcement in Smoke Signals that the village Council would like to receive names of people interested in serving on the Village Council, with room for a name for consideration, which could be submitted to the Village; or as an alternative, to hold meetings similar to those held for the • sewer issue, to ask interested parties to come to select one of the people who submitted their name. Mayor Mackail • VILLAGE COtTNCIL SPECIAL MEETING MINUTES November 2, 1999 PAGE 11 commented that when Councilmember Mike Meder resigned that several people came in for interviews by all the village Councilmembers and that had worked well. Councilmember Dalack commented he was not against Mr. Hansen serving as vice Mayor but was opposed to the method, and did not think that should happen again. Councilmember Dalack expressed his opinion that the process should be as close to an election as possible. Councilmember Schauer commented that both the Jupiter Courier and Palm Beach Post had announced that anyone interested should send their resumes. Councilmember Schauer commented that she would like something in writing from the applicants, and that Geraldine Genco had already submitted her name. Councilmember Schauer expressed her opinion that a decision whether to appoint should be made after receiving resumes and contacting the people. Councilmember Dalack favored • an announcement with a deadline for submittals. Village Manager Bradford commented that the next Village Council meetings were scheduled for November 9 and December 9, but a special meeting could be scheduled any time in between with 72 hours notice. Councilmember Dalack suggested a time limit of a week or two from today's date for receipt of submissions with name and resume, to be followed by a Village Council meeting within two weeks. Vice Mayor Hansen stated agreement with Councilmember Dalack, but expressed concern that if the selection was made by more than just the Village Council there would be too few to do that and stated he was afraid only 20~-25~ of the people would show up so that such an election would be skewed. Councilmember Capretta stated he believed it was the responsibility of the Village Council to make the selection and recommended the Village Council receive resumes and make a selection. Mayor Mackail agreed with Councilmember Capretta and stated it should be done as soon as possible, and in March when seats were available the people who had submitted resumes could campaign. Mayor Mackail stated it was not right to put the people interested in serving • through a town meeting to be criticized, and recommended acting quickly before the holidays, with the village • VILLAGE COUNCIL SPECIAL STING D~INUTES November 2, 1999 PAGE 12 Council conducting interviews and then making the decision at an open meeting. Mr. Berube stated he did not agree, that only Mrs. Schauer was not from the Tequesta Country Club area, and the people who had submitted resumes were also from that area. Mr. Berube stated if the Village Council waited until the election no one could accuse them of anything. Mayor Mackail commented that a couple of the people present were anti-Village Council and anti-the Country Club area. Mayor Mackail stated he had yet to find out what the Country Club group had done that was not in the best interests of the community. It was pointed out that people on Beach Road had been encouraged to serve on the Village Council but no one had been interested, and that the Village Council did not need someone who lived in Tequesta part-time. Mr. Berube recommended letting the people instead of the Village Council make the choice. Village Manager Bradford suggested reading the Village Charter which stated that in the event of a vacancy the Village Council may appoint a substitute until the next general Village election in March. Village Manager Bradford explained that the village Council by charter could not delegate its authority and the Village Council was solely responsible. village Manager Bradford expressed his opinion that the Village Council could not delegate to any form of election. Councilmember Dalack indicated he had been talking about a straw vote, but felt the Village Council would be morally obligated to appoint the person who received the most straw votes. Mayor Mackail indicated he believed the process should be the same used in the past. Village Manager Bradford questioned whether the Village Council felt that the announcements in the Jupiter Courier and Palm Beach Post that the village Council was accepting letters of interest and resumes was sufficient notice to the residents. Councilmember Dalack indicated he did not. Village Manager Bradford questioned whether Councilmember . Dalack would like a notice placed in Smoke Signals. Village Clerk Manganiello indicated that the current issue • VILLAGE COIINCIL SPECIAL ~BTING MINOTSS November 2, 1999 PAGE 13 should go to the printer by the end of this week and would be mailed out to the residents prior to the 14th of November. Discussion ensued regarding a deadline and a special meeting. village Manager Bradford suggested holding a special meeting in November to decide on a candidate, and that an appropriate deadline could be November 15-16 to submit a letter of interest or a resume, with a special meeting to be held November 22 or 23. Mr. Berube questioned whether if five resumes were received and the Village Council did not feel any of the candidates were qualified, if they had the right not to chose anyone, to which the response was affirmative. Mr. Berube expressed his opinion that was not democratic and it would be perceived badly by the residents if no one was chosen. Mayor Mackail commented two names had been submitted and he liked them both. Mr. Berube indicated he wanted a • democratic process, to which Councilmember Capretta responded that the process used in the past was in the Village Charter. Pert Towne commented that she had been trying to show the Mayor the perception in the Village the previous evening because she thought he should be aware of it, and indicated she had a resume but had not submitted it because she could not devote enough time. Mayor Mackail agreed a lot of time was required to do the work. Vice Mayor Hansen commented regarding Councilmember Dalack~s opinion there had not been enough advertising regarding accepting resumes that probably two-thirds of the residents did not even know Mayor Mackail had resigned. village Manager Bradford explained that the option of the Village Council appointing a Councilmember was very common among municipalities. Mr. Berube questioned why appoint someone so close to the election, why the village Council should put themselves out when they did not have to, and stated that had been his point. Mr. Berube stated he disagreed with the process since it was not democratic. Councilmember Capretta commented all the calls he had received from residents were stating the position that they • resented the process used for the sewer issue trying to force residents to come to the Village Hall. to vote on the • VILLAGE COIINCIL SPECIAL MEETING MINUTES November 2, 1999 PAGE 14 issue. Village Manager Bradford reported he had heard that from residents also. Mayor Mackail stated a lot of people felt that way, and had said they had elected the village Council to make decisions. Councilmember Schauer commented some people had walked out and not voted. Councilmember Capretta stated he had planned to suggest that process to pick a municipal site, but residents said they did not want to vote. Village Manager Bradford summed up the process that Village Clerk Manganiello would place an announcement in Smoke Signals with a submittal deadline of November 17 and a Special Village Council Meeting to be held Tuesday, November 23. Mayor Mackail made a motion to place as announcement in • Smoke Signals requesting letters of interest or res~mnes for the vacant village Council seat with a deadline of November 17, 1999, and to hold a Special village Council meeting on Tuesday, November Z3, 1999 at 7 p.m. at the village Hall to consider as appointment. vice Mayor Hansen seconded the motion.
