(Staff Recommends Approval). village Council Meeting Minutes July 22, 1993 Page 7 ------------------------------- Village Manager Bradford explained that the first step in the procedures of establishing a Retirement Fund is to assess and impose an excise tax of 1.85$ on homeowner and property insurance policies in the Village. This is not a new tax. The excise tax is already collected. In order for the Village to receive its portion of the proceeds which are transferred to Tallahassee, it is necessary to adopt the above-referenced Ordinance.

Councilmember Capretta seconded the motion. The vote on the motion was: Ron T. Mackail - for Joseph N. Capretta - for Earl L. Collings - for William B. Burckart - for the motion was therefore passed and adopted. Councilmember Collings felt hesitant to vote affirmatively since the Ordinance states that the tax is being imposed (when there is not actually a new tax imposed) as opposed to using the word transferred. He felt the word 'imposed' should have been changed to 'transferred'. Attorney Monaghan explained that the wording of the Ordinance exactly tracks the language of the Florida Statute and recommended that the Ordinance stay with the language of the Statute.

(staff Recommends Approval). Village Manager Bradford explained that the Village has been involved in on-going negotiations with Turtle Creek to secure well sites 25, 26 and 27. Agreement has been reached on well site 25, and Turtle Creek Homeowners Association has agreed to provide the easement necessary for the construction and location of this well in return for a payment of $6,900, the amount equal to the appraisal conducted by the Village. Martin County has now approved a U-2 permit, allowing the Village to run raw water lines from Well 25 to the tie-in at the Sandy Pines Hospital.

(Staff Recommends Approval). Village Manager Bradford explained that the track of land between the Boy Scout easement (costing $1,900) and the County Line Road right of way is all that remains for approval for the finishing of Tequesta's proposed raw water line route. ENCON, having an approximate 22 foot easement in this area, has given their approval. The approval of Little Club Homeowners Association is yet needed for their easement at that location. This will give the final approvals needed for the completion of the route. vice Mayor Burakart moved to approve the Resolution No. 15- 92/93 as submitted. Counaflmember Capretta seconded the motion.

H) Establishment of village Council Position Relative to A1A (Beach Road) Roadway Section in Response to Official Inquiry by Palm Beach County. Village Manager Bradford explained that Charles Walker, Director of the Palm Beach County Traffic Division, has requested the Village Council to take an official position regarding the ultimate buildout of Beach Road roadway section, since that roadway has an 80-100 right-of-way, which could possibly allow the County to add more lanes. The Village Manager recommended that the Village Council take a position limiting the roadway to a two-lane section, in keeping with the corridors of the oceanfront communities. Councilmember Collings moved that A-1-A (Beach Road) be limited to a two-lane basic section and that a letter stating such be forwarded to Charles Walker, Palm Beach County Traffic Division, with a copy to Jupiter. Councilmember Capretta seconded the motion. The vote on the motion was: Ron T. Mackail - for Joseph N. Capretta - for Earl L. Collings - for William 8. Burckart - for the motion was therefore passed and adopted. Village Council a Meeting Minutes July 22, 1993 Page 11 ------------------------------- *I) Consideration of Lighthouse Gallery Request to Otilise Gallery Square North parking Lot, Close Tequesta Drive from Venus Avenue West to Seabrook Road and Display Banners on Tequesta Drive for Advertisement Purposes for the 30th Annual Arts and Crafts Festival on Sunday, November 21, 1993. (Staff Recommends Approval). Approved under the consent Agenda. J) Resolutioa No. 16-92/93 - Objecting to the Proposal of Palm Beach County that the Wetlands Protection Section of the IInified Land Development Code be Adopted under the Auspices of the Environmental Control Act, thus being Effective Countywide, Even within the incorporated Areas of Palm Beach County in Degradation of the Recently Approved Agreement Between the Board of County commissioners and the Palm Beach County Municipal League Relative to Countywide Ordinance Procedures. (Staff Recommends Approval). Attorney Monaghan explained to the Village Council that Palm Beach County's above-referenced proposal applies to all areas, unless a municipality specifically has an Ordinance stating that the municipality opts to control its own wetlands. If such an Ordinance is not adopted by a municipality, that municipality is automatically opting in on the County's proposal. The above-referenced Resolution objects to the County imposing regulation upon the Village of Tequesta regarding Tequesta wetlands. Attorney Monaghan read Resolution No. 16-92/93 by Title: "A REBOLIITION OF THE VILLAGE CODNCIL OF THE VILLAGE OF TEQIIEBTA, PALM BEACH COIINTY, FLORIDA, OBJECTING TO THE PROPOSAL OF PALM BEACB COIINTY THAT THE WETLANDS PROTECTION SECTION OF THE IINIFIED LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE BE ADOPTED ONDER THE AIIBPICEB OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL ACT, THIIB BEING EFFECTIVE COIINTYWIDE, EVEN WITHIN THE INCORPORATED AREAS OF PALM BEACH COIINTY, IN DEROGATION OF THE RECENTLY APPROVED AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE BOARD OF COIINTY COMMI88IONERB AND THE PALM BEACH COIINTY MIINICIPAL LEAGIIE RELATIVE TO COIINTYWIDE ORDINANCE PROCEDIIREB; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE; AND FOR OTHER PIIRPOSES. ~' village Council Meeting Minutes July 22, 1993 Page 12 vice Mayor Burckart moved to approve Resolution No. 16-92/93 as submitted. Councilmember Capretta seconded the motion. The vote on the motion was: Ron T. Mackail - for Joseph N. Capretta - for Earl L. Collings - for William E. Burckart - for the motion was therefore passed and adopted. *R) Adoption of the Proposed Millage Rate (6.1506) Necessary to Provide the Ad valorem Taxes Required to Balance the Tentative Fiscal Year 1994 Qeneral Fund Budget. (8taff Recommends Approval). Village Manager Bradford restated that the Rolled Back Rate is 5.9141. Staff has proposed to the Village Council a millage rate of 5.9140. State Statutes being as they are, it is wise to go into the September Public Hearings with a tax rate that is sufficient to generate more funds than may be needed, in case a rate exceeds that which is established, it would be necessary to notify by certified mail, each property owner, as to why the tentative rate was exceeded. Therefore, the recommended posture for the Village Council to take is a few percentage points over what is needed to ensure coverage. For instance, Palm Beach County has taken the first steps towards implementing the six cent local option gas tax, but no indication has yet been made regarding final distribution formula. If the formula remains as it now stands, Tequesta will gain a significant amount of revenue ($100,000) over and above what is expected. If the formula is changed, municipalities could lose up to 20$ of their revenues presently received. Also, the Health Trust announces its new health insurance premium rates in mid-August. If the rate increase is over and above that anticipated by the Village (8.5~) additional revenues will be needed. The Village is contemplating an occupational license change to bring Village practices in line with State Law which could ~~.,, cost the Village up to $7,000/year. village Couaail r Meeting Minutes July 22, 1993 Page 13 ------------------------------- If the fire/rescue contract with Jupiter Inlet Colony does not materialize, it will be necessary for the Village to make up for that lost revenue in its millage rate, an increase of 7.8$. Staff recommends that the Village Council increase the millage rate by 4~ (6.1506 millage rate), generating an approximate additional $77,684 which would cover the Village in the event the forementioned should happen, except for lost revenue from Jupiter Inlet Colony which would have to be dealt with via a contingency plan which was discussed with the Village Council. Councilmember Collings moved to adopt the proposed millage rate (6.1506) necessary to provide the Ad valorem taues required to balance the tentative Fiscal Year 1994 General Fund Budget. Councilmember Capretta seconded the motion. The vote on the motion was: Ron T. Mackail - for Joseph N. Capretta - for `~ Earl L. Collings - for William E. Burckart - for the motion was therefore passed sad adopted. *L) Adoption of the Computed Rolled-Back Millage Rate (5.9141) to be Provided to the Property Appraiser in Accordance with F.B. 200.065. (8taff Recommends Approval). vice Mayor Burckart moved to adopt the Computed Rolled-Back Rate (5.9141) to be provided to the Property Appraiser in accordance with F.B. 200.065. Councilmember Capretta seconded the motion. The vote oa the motioa was: Ron T. Mackail - for Joseph N. Capretta - for Earl L. Collings - for William E. Burckart - for the motion was therefore passed and adopted. Village Council Meeting Minutes July 22, 1993 Page 14 ------------------------------- *M) Adoption of the Date, Time and Place of the First and Final Budget Hearing to Consider the Proposed Millage Rate and Tentative Budgets. (staff Recommends Approval). 1) First Public Hearing - september 7, 1993, 7:00 P.M., at Village Hall, 357 Tequesta Drive, Tequesta, Florida. 2) Final Public Hearing - september 23, 1993, 7:00 P.M., at Village Hall, 357 Tequesta Drive, Tequesta, Florida. Approved under the Consent Agenda. IB. UNFINIBHED BIIBINESB A) Discussion Relative to Provision of village Incentives for the Laadscapinq and Beautifiaatioa of Private Properties Abutting Tequesta Drive. Councilmember Collings stated he would like to find some way to interest abutting property owners on Tequesta Drive in upgrading their landscaping to beautify the appearance of the Village. One avenue may be a contest with prizes, and several other different ideas. It was Councilmember Collings' suggestion that Village Staff present a concept, perhaps a Plan A and Plan B, for Village Council approval and that the Community Appearance Board perform the method of awarding and evaluating such a program. B. COMMIINICATIONS FROM CITIZENS Dorothy Campbell presented to the Village Council copies of the newest edition of the Palm Beach County Visitors Guide, pointing out numerous mistakes which had been made regarding Tequesta: 1) Points out that the northern most point of Palm Beach County is Jupiter; 2) Tequesta Drive, on the brochure map, is shown located in Jupiter; 3) Points out that Palm Beach County beaches stretch from Jupiter to Boca; 4) Coral Cove Park is listed under Jupiter; 5) States that afternoon canoe rides can be taken in Tequesta. It was Mrs. Campbell's suggestion that Village Staff write a letter to those who create the brochure, making it clear to them their errors regarding Tequesta and giving them the proper information. village council Meeting Minutes July 22, 1993 Page 15 Harold Hutchinson questioned when the Tequesta Branch of the Palm Beach County Library would start construction, and stated that from a copy of a letter from Audrey Wolfe to Village Manager Bradford it sounds as though construction will not begin. Village Manager Bradford explained that the bid opening for this Branch had taken place, with a total of $690,000, equaling approximately $180/square foot. Palm Beach County wants to either: o Re-bid by piggy-backing the Palm Beach Gardens Branch Library (a multi-million dollar job), on the assumption that by making the Tequesta Branch an alternate, maybe better prices would occur; or o Palm Beach County Library System is thinking about re- considering their previous decision to forego any existing facilities; 0 or they may consider the concept whereby Palm Beach County Library System gives the grant of money to the Village to do the building construction for them. BI. ANY OTHER MATTERB o Village Manager Bradford explained that auditors for the Village have recommended that the Village cut-off the payroll period on the Sunday prior to payday, which would allow the payroll processor sufficient time to process the paychecks and make all adjustments for that particular two-week period. Presently the Village has always had the payroll system set up whereby people are paid somewhat in advance for days which they have not yet worked. When there is a problem with sick days or whatever, the records have to be changed after the fact. After discussion, the Village Council gave their approval to a one-time option for employees to convert sick and/or vacation days to pay in order to avoid the impact of a delay in pay due to new procedures. o Village Manager Bradford explained that the Loxahatchee Museum has written a letter to the Village requesting the Village Council's support of a Resolution allowing the Loxahatchee Museum work in concert with the U.S. Coast Guard on restoring and operating the lighthouse for the public good. The Museum seeks a 30-year lease exactly the same in nature as that of the St. Augustine Lighthouse which has just completed a $150,000 restoration. village Council ;~,,, Meeting Minutes July 22, 1993 Page 16 ------------------------------- Attorney Monaghan read Resolution No. 17-92-93 by Title: ~~A RESOLIITION OF THE VILLAGE COIINCIL OF THE VILLAGE OF TEQIIEBTA, PAID[ BEACH COIINTY, FLORIDA, EBPRE88ING SIIPPORT FOR THE LOBAHATCHEE HISTORICAL SOCIETY~B ACQIIISITION, RESTORATION, MAINTENANCE, AND ON-GOING PIIBLIC DISPLAY OF THE JIIPITER INLET LIGHTHOIIBE.~~ Councilmember Collings moved to adopt Resolution No. 17- 92/93.
