Village Council Meeting Minutes August 12, 1993 Page 3 VI. NEW BUSINESS A) Ordinance - First Reading - Amending Section 2-95 of the village Code of ordinances to Provide for the inclusion of Chapter 9, Fire Protection and Prevention, Within the Enforcement Jurisdiction of the Code Enforcement Board. (Staff Recommends Approval). Having determined that the Fire Prevention and Protection Code was not under the purview of the Code Enforcement Board, Village Manager Bradford explained that it was necessary to create the above-referenced Ordinance to cause that to happen. Councilmember Collings suggested that the word ~~jurisdiction~~ be changed to ~~responsibility~~ . Mayor Mackail asked how this enforcement ability would effect Jupiter Inlet Colony. Village Manager Bradford explained that, Jupiter Inlet Colony, by executing the Fire/Rescue Interlocal Agreement with Tequesta, have agreed to adopt the same Codes as Tequesta. The above-code however would not apply to JIC. They would themselves be responsible for enforcing fire codes within their own community. Fire Chief Weinand explained that if, however, there is a serious violation which endangers human lives, he, as Fire Chief, would have the authority to enact a Cease Order and stop all fire/rescue violations there. Mayor Mackail suggested that a copy of the above Ordinance, after First Reading, be forwarded to JIC, with a transmittal letter stating the comment made by Chief Weinand. Attorney Monaghan read the Ordinance by Title: ~~AN ORDINANCE OF THE VILLAGE COUNCIL OF THE VILLAGE OF TEQIIESTA, PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA, AMENDING SECTION 2-95 OF THE VILLAGE CODE OF ORDINANCES, TO PROVIDE FOR THE INCLIISION OF CHAPTER 9, FIRE PROTECTION AND PREVENTION, WITHIN THE ENFORCEMENT RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CODE ENFORCEMENT BOARD; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; PROVIDING FOR CODIFICATION; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.~~ Village Council Meeting Minutes August 12, 1993 Page 4 Councilmember Schauer moved to approve the First Reading of the above-referenced Ordinance, changing the word ~~jurisdiction~~ to ~~responsibility~~. Councilmember Collings seconded the motion. The vote on the motion was: Ron T. Mackail - for Liz Schauer - for Earl L. Collings - for the motion was therefore passed and adopted. B) Resolution No. 18-92/93 - Approving an Interlocal Agreement with Martin County Providing Mutual Aid and Fire Protection Services and Authorising the Mayor to Execute the Same on Behalf of the Village. (8taff Recommends Approval). Village Manager Bradford explained that this is one of three tiers (1-NAMAC; 2-Martin County; 3-Palm Beach County) of back- up protection proposed for Fire/Rescue service in Tequesta. The Agreement with Martin County is a free, reciprocal mutual aid agreement (meaning, there is no charge). The proposed mutual aid agreement between Palm Beach County and Tequesta (which will differ from the Martin County Agreement with Tequesta) has been drafted, and there would be a charge to Tequesta for that back-up service. Resolution No. 18-92/93 has been reviewed and approved by the Village Attorney, and it complies with State Statutes. In the future, Martin County is willing to discuss an Automatic Aid Agreement with Tequesta, after Tequesta has gained some fire/rescue call history. Tequesta citizen, Betty Nagy, asked how far into Martin County Tequesta would be expected to respond under mutual aid. Chief Weinand explained that the intentions are to respond as far as the entrance to Jonathan Dickinson State Park, but the decision would be left up to Fire Chief Weinand. However, Tequesta would never be left without coverage.

(Staff Recommends Approval). Village Manager Bradford explained that the drafting of this Interlocal Agreement took a lot of work, requiring that it be very carefully approached because of its important subject matter. JIC approved the Agreement at their Town Commission Meeting on August 2. The contract is as follows: o Contract is for ten years. o Provides for payments based upon a base rate for fire/rescue o JIC responsible for $71,020 of start-up costs to be spread over four years o Provides for openers in the event Tequesta changes the provider of its EMS and proposes to increase the price o Allows for a re-opener in the event a new fire station is constructed o Allows for an increase in cost equal to or greater than 12.5% by virtue of any imposition from any organization that sets the standards governing fire/rescue departments o Termination with 18-months notice. o Tequesta's adopted fire codes will be applicable to JIC, with approval from JIC regarding any changes.

The contract has been reviewed and approved by the Village Attorney. North County Ambulance (NCA) received from Palm Beach County the Certificate of Need which grants NCA the power to render such ALS services to Tequesta and JIC.

Village Council Meeting Minutes August 12, 1993 Page 7 E) Village Council Direction Relative to Optional 10-Year Lease Purchase Program for 100 Aerial Platform Truck and 1250 GPM Pumper for the Tequesta Fire/Rescue Department. Village Manager Bradford explained that one fire truck is already here, with the other coming in January, and payment procedures need to be adopted. At a July 8 meeting, the Finance & Administration Committee, the Committee requested that a discussion with Village Council occur regarding a financing option offered by Liberty National Leasing be considered, whereby both the pumper and aerial truck would be acquired by a ten-year lease-purchase program. The cost of both trucks will be $633,175. The annual debt service for the aerial truck is estimated to be $40,508 when financed with a 20-year Bond. The annual lease-purchase payment for the pumper is estimated to be $20,189. A total of $60,000 is currently allocated in the tentative budget. Then l0-year lease-purchase proposal, financing both truck, would require a $160,175 down payment this fiscal year. These funds would come from Water Enterprise Fund Retained Earnings. The annual payment thereafter would be an estimated $56,658. This amount falls within the Village Fire/Rescue budget for this expense. The 2~ pre-payment penalty originally in the plan has, through negotiations, been eliminated, collateral would only be the aerial and not both trucks. Since the aerial truck will not be forthcoming until January 1994, it was Staff's recommendation that a used truck (a regular Class-A Pumper) be purchased (for an additional $30,000) to be used for back-up so that there would be two trucks available between now and January 1994. After January 1994 that truck can continue to be held by the Village or sold through a fire equipment trade magazine. Councilmember Collings moved to approve the payment recommendation on a ten-year lease-purchase program with Liberty National Leasing Company for both the pumper and aerial truck. Councilmember Schauer seconded the motion. The vote on the motion was: Ron T. Mackail - for Liz Schauer - for Earl L. Collings - for the motion was therefore passed and adopted. village Council Meeting Minutes August 12, 1993 Page 8 Councilmember Collings moved to authorise the village Manager to acquire, between now and October 1, 1993, a used Class-A Pumper not to euceed $30,000. Councilmember Schauer seconded the motion. The vote on the motion was: Ron T. Mackail - for Liz Schauer - for Earl L. Collings - for the motion was therefore passed and adopted. F) Resolution No. 21-92/93 - Approving an Interlocal Agreement for Water Quality Monitoring Required IInder the EPA Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit and Authorizing the Mayor to Euecute the Same on Behalf of the Village. (Staff Recommends Approval). Village Manager Bradford that this is a program mandated by the Federal Government (specifically, the EPA). It is a multi-phased process causing municipalities to monitor water discharged into the waters of the State in order to monitor the amount of pollution contained in those discharges. As time progresses, municipalities will ultimately be forced to create pollution control measures, a very expensive process. Tequesta, in conjunction with a host of other municipalities, through the Northern Palm Beach County Water Control District (NPBCWCD), has entered into that process. Phase III of this program is about to begin. The cost to Tequesta is $1500/year. Resolution No. 21-92/93 is an Interlocal Agreement with NPBCWCD for them to do the appropriate water monitoring work. Municipalities which do not have the ability to implement cost sharing proposals could be faced with $1M per year for this same work. Even with cost-sharing, Tequesta's costs will get higher, but would be astronomical if the Village was on its own. Councilmember Collings pointed out that this is just another example of how municipalities throughout the State and Country continue to suffer under the unfunded mandates of higher legislation.

H) Consideration of Proposal to Conduct a Modified Rate Study Relative to Fire Line and Hydrant Services of the Tequesta Water Department by Gee & Jenson in the Amount of $6,900, Having an FY 1994 Water Enterprise Fund Budget Allocation of $25,000. (Staff Recommends Approval). Water Department Manager, Tom Hall, explained that an analysis for fire line charges and determining whether fire hydrants are being adequately costed out is overdue. Commercial rates for business people within the community is also a concern. Mr. Hall stated that current Ordinances state that charges shall be per unit, thereby putting a burden on the Water Department and its Staff to be constantly 'looking over the fence' to see what Mr. Businessman is doing on his property. This is not consistent with what is done with other utilities throughout Palm Beach County. Therefore, uniform rate policy is a concern. Mr. Hall explained the necessity of allowing the Village's contracted engineers/rate consultants (Gee & Jenson) to analyze the system, and determine a most cost- effective solution, and translate the data into a rate per 1000 gallons. Councilmember Collings argued whether Village Staff, having the data at hand, could do the same task Gee & Jenson would do for $7,000. Mr. Hall explained that the Village does not have the sophisticated computer analysis program nor adequate staff to do the rate analysis as does Gee & Jenson. village Council Meeting Minutes yY August 12, 1993 Page 11 Councilmember Schauer moved to approve the proposal to conduct a modifie8 rate study relative to fire line and hydrant services of the Tequesta Water Department by Gee & Jenson in the amount of $6,900.

I) Resolution No. 22-92/93 - Accepting and Approving a Lease Agreement Between the village of Tequesta and the JTJC, Inc. for Outdoor Recreational Purposes (Constitution Park) and Authorizing the Mayor to Ezecute the Same on Behalf of the village. (Staff Recommends Approval). Village Manager Bradford reported that an Agreement had been met between JTJC and the Village of Tequesta regarding Constitution Park and it is ready now to be approved by the Village Council. The Lease Agreement is a 50-year Agreement, spelling out 1) hours of operation; 2) security clause; 3) improvements; 4) maintenance; 5) hold harmless agreement in effect, as well as Title Insurance Policy Agreement and a Letter of Agreement for Reciprocal Parking. Alec Cameron, President, Tequesta Gardens Condominium Association, located adjacent Constitution Park, stated that the Lease Agreement meets all the requirements of Tequesta Garden except for two points: 1) fencing in the 50-foot thicket (addressed in Section 6 of the Lease Agreement); and 2) all security, privacy and noise barriers be installed prior to the completion of any major facilities of the Park. Mr. Cameron requested that the Village Council, upon their approval of the Lease Agreement, agree to include requirement 2). The Village Council concurred with this request. Attorney Monaghan read Resolution No. 22-92/93 by Title: "A RESOLIITION OF THE VILLAGE COIINCIL OF HE VILLAGE OF TEQIIESTA, PALM BEACH COIINTY, FLORIDA, ACCEPTING AND APPROVING A LEASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE VILLAGE OF TEQIIESTA AND THE JTJC, INC.

The Village Council agreed to donate the $1500 to cause this to become more expedient. Councilmember Schauer moved that the Village of Tequesta donate to JTJC the amount of $1500 as payment for the Title Insurance Policy. Councilmember Collings seconded the motion. The vote on the motion was: Ron T. Mackail - for Liz Schauer - for Earl L. Collings - for the motion was therefore passed and adopted. J) Consideration of Authorizing the Village Manager to Execute a Change Order with Chas Equipment Company of Delray Beach, Florida, in the Amount of $46,937.80 to Install a Portion of the Water Distribution Pipeline Associated with Weli 25, 26 & 27 Project, from the Martin County Line to the Entrance of Turtle Creek, Pursuant to the FY 92/93 Water Enterprise Fund Budget Allocation in the Amount of $1,249,065. (Staff Recommends Approval). Village Manager Bradford explained that the Village Council has approved the Change Order for $350,000 which would cover to the entrance of Little Club. However, Martin County had the August deadline for the Village to get the Country Club Drive right-of-way work completed. Therefore, there was a 'flip-flop' of a portion of the job in order to meet Martin County time constraints. Now, a change order is needed to get the rest of the route finished. ~~:.

(Staff Recommends Approval). Village Manager Bradford explained that the current distribution of gasoline tax money is 66$ to the County and 33~ to the municipality. The County is eligible to receive 80~ of all proceeds. Palm Beach County and the Palm Beach County Municipal League have reached a tentative agreement to divide the current 6 cents and the first 5 cents of the new proposed tax based upon a 79~ County, 21~ municipality split. The sixth cent of the new tax is devoted exclusively to mass transit. The new Local Option Gas Tax will generate an estimated $7,000 additional dollars for Village coffers in FY 94. If 51~ of the cities do not agree to this proposal, the County will receive 80~ and the municipalities 20$. Councilmember Collings pointed out that he has just traveled extensively throughout the United States and discovered that Florida has the highest gasoline prices.

Presently the two communities are interconnected by the pipeline which is owned by the Village on Alt. AlA Bridge. That water main will be worked on this summer to remove rust and lead based paint which is on it. This is Tequesta's only life-line. It is desired to have an alternative connection off the Country Club Drive right-of- way in southern Martin County as a backup. There is budgeted $4,000 for this task.

A letter of response was received by Mr. Collings from the President of the Visitor's Bureau who stated that since a portion of Tequesta is located in Martin County, it was not the intention of the Palm Beach County Visitor's Bureau to promote tourism in Martin County, and that Jupiter, technically, is the northernmost city in Palm Beach County. Mr. Collings stated he would write a response to this letter, sending a carbon copy to Palm Beach County Commissioner Karen Marcus. o Mayor Mackail suggested that a Workshop might be in order to address annexation within certain areas surrounding the Village, drawing up a well thought out, organized, methodical plan.
