Public Comment: Glenn Kloiber, 64 Willow Road, stated that
just having received his tax statement, noting that his
assessed valuation increased 1~. With no millage rate
increase in the Village, he would expect that will go down.
He approximated that the cost of the Village is approximately
$1000 per capita, feeling that was excessive, and asked that
Village Staff compare this to other communities of comparable
size.

-------------------------------
Mayor Mackail felt a comparison histogram would prove
beneficial. Village Manager Bradford informed the Council and
Mr. Kloiber that Tequesta's expenditures per capita are less
than those of Jupiter Inlet Colony and Juno Beach, but more
than Jupiter and possibly Palm Beach Gardens. However, the
circumstances of each city must be taken separately.
6) Adoption of Tentative Village Budgets
Vice Mayor Burckart commended the Village Manager for the
excellent job he did with the Village Budget.
Councilmember Schauer moved to adopt the tentative
Village Budget as submitted. Councilmember Collings
seconded the motion. The vote on the motion was:
Ron T. Mackail - for
Liz Schauer - for
Earl L. Collings - for
William E. Burckart - for
the motion was therefore passed and adopted.
7) Announcement of Proposed Millage Rate (5.9140) and
percent (0.000 by which the proposed millage rate
exceeds the rolled-back millage rate (5.9141).
Councilmember Collings moved to adopt the proposed
millage rate of 5.9140. Vice Mayor Burckart seconded
the motion. The vote on the motion was:
Ron T. Mackail - for
Liz Schauer - for
Earl L. Collings - for
William E. Burckart - for
the motion was therefore passed and adopted.
Village Manager Bradford announced that the proposed
millage rate is 5.9140, a zero percent increase over the
rolled back rate of 5.9141. This means the Village will
generate a tad less tax revenue next year as compared to
this year.
The Final Budget Hearing will take place September 23,
1993 at 7:00 p.m. at the Village Hall located at 357
Tequesta Drive, Tequesta, Florida.

Manager's Report which states that the Village Manager
conducted a Staff Meeting with the Building Official, Deputy
Building Official, Chief of Police, and Officer Richard Davis,
relative to Enhancement of Code Enforcement Procedures within
the Village, and asked if this was in reference to the
investigation of Code Enforcement being done by Councilmember
Joseph Capretta. The Village Manager responded that the
meeting was called because of complaints the Village Manager
had received regarding the procedures and to be sure everyone
was headed in the same direction.
Councilmember Schauer also asked regarding page 6, item 12,
of the Village Manager's Report, if the Chief of Police would
elaborate on this issue. Chief Roderick stated that the
Juvenile Alternative Sentencing Program is new, and ensures
that all juveniles who have been charged with crimes to be
heard by a civilian appointed as a Judge and sentenced to
community services, instead of being sent to the Juvenile
Court system. The community services would be performed in
the juveniles' local jurisdictions.

VII. NEW BUSINESS
A) Resolution No. 25-92/93 - Approving an Interlocal
Agreement with Palm Beach County for Special Assistance
Fire/Rescue Service and Authorizing the Mayor to Execute
the Same on Behalf of the Village. (Staff Recommends
Approval).
Village Manager Bradford explained this was one of the three-
tiers proposed as backup for the Tequesta Fire/Rescue
Department, a mutual aid agreement of last resort. Services
are not reciprocal, but on a paid basis. The format is the
same as that presently used by Palm Beach County, and
preferred by Chief Weinand.
Attorney Randolph read Resolution No. 25-92/93 by Title: ~~A
RESOLUTION OF THE VILLAGE COUNCIL OF THE VILLAGE OF TEQIIESTA,
PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA, APPROVING AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT
BETWEEN PALM BEACH COUNTY AND THE VILLAGE OF TEQIIESTA,
PROVIDING SPECIAL ASSISTANCE FIRE/RESCUE SERVICES AND
AUTHORIZING THE MAJOR TO EXECUTE THE SAME ON BEHALF OF THE
VILLAGE .'~
Councilmember Collings noted that the Resolution is stamped
"draft" and inquired as to why. Mr. Bradford explained that
since this is a County format, it is his belief that the
County stamped it Draft to inform municipalities that it is
subject to change. The County is considering changing their
basic formats of agreement. If changes are made after the
fact, those changes would have to be approved by the Village
Council.

Fund, which also creates a Board of Trustees for that Pension
Fund. The Board of Trustees consist of five members, two of
__ whom shall be legal residents of the municipality and shall

Plan Amendment Coordinated Review Interlocal Agreement
and the Multi-Jurisdictional Issues Coordination Forum
Interlocal Agreement and Authorising the Mayor to Euecute
the Same. (Staff Recommends Approval).
Village Manager Bradford explained that this is an outgrowth
of the Palm Beach County Municipal League which put together
a Task Force after the 1992 defeat of the countywide planning
referendum. This Resolution creates a mechanism by the hiring
of only one planner to be located in Lantana, at facilities
donated by the Town of Lantana, which would serve as the
clearing house for the receipt of all proposed comprehensive
plan amendments. The clearing house would then disseminate
those changes to the identified governments, and they would
have a formal mechanism through which to comment on those
proposed changes. If there is a conflict, this also creates
a multi-jurisdictional issues coordination forum which allows
k certain governments to get together to issue non-binding
opinions regarding any disputes or conflicts which may arise.

with Tequesta Council, Jupiter Council and Palm Beach
County Commissioners.
Village Manager Bradford provided copies to the Village
Council of a letter from Jeff Krauskopf, Chairman of the
Martin County Board of County Commissioners requesting a
meeting with the Village of Tequesta Council, Jupiter Town
Council and Palm Beach County Commissioners to discuss traffic
flow problems and any other issues of regional concern. The
letter suggested the meeting take place at Jonathan Dickinson
State Park. The Village Council felt the Tequesta Council
Chambers would be more centrally located and more comfortable,
or a location which has a Board Room such as Barnett Bank at
Bridge Road in Hobe Sound. Village Manager Bradford stated
he would write a letter to Mr. Krauskopf and arrange for such
a meeting.

Village Manager Bradford explained that the Village has a
franchise agreement with Nichols Sanitation, Inc. Such
Agreement allows Nichols adjustments according to the Consumer
Price Index (CPI), in May of each year. In May 1993, the CPI
Report stated there was a 3.3$ inflation rate. Accordingly,
an Ordinance must be adopted for the garbage, yard waste, and
collection fees, increasing the same 3.3~ effective October
1, 1993. The upcoming fiscal year is the last year of the
Nichols Franchise Agreement. Village Staff is currently
working with Nichols to extend this franchise in return for
rate reductions. In order to meet the obligations of the
existing Franchise Agreement, it is necessary for Village
Council to pass an Ordinance increasing the user charges and
fees.
Attorney Randolph gave the First Reading of the Ordinance by

J) Discussion Concerning Continuation of Historical
Commission of Tequesta Village Which Sunsets on September
15, 1983.
Councilmember Collings stated that during the past year, the
Historical Commission has held a number of meetings. He felt
the Commission should not be discontinued. Some members have
resigned from the Commission, which brought about
recommendations from the Commission to add Evelyn Bates and
James Sparger to the Commission. The original Resolution
forming the Commission calls for regular reports from the
Commission to the Village Council, regarding Commission
activities. However, none of those reports have been
forthcoming. Councilmember Collings felt the need for those
reports needed to be emphasized.
Councilmember Schauer felt the Commission should be
discontinued, since there seems to be difficulty in finding
individuals able to serve on the Commission, and reports to
the Village Council which were requested were never made, and
only 5-10$ of the Meeting Minutes reflected anything
historical.
Mayor Mackail stated he would go with the consensus of the
group, but noted that only approximately 20$ of all Historical
Commission Meeting Minutes reflected anything historical.
Vice Mayor Burckart questioned the need for a Historical
Commission since no results seemed to be forthcoming.
Wade Griest, citizen, 494 Dover Road, stated he attended all
Historical Commission meetings as an interested citizen and
noted there seemed to be no great interest in it, other than
those who were appointed to the Commission, and even then, few
of them showed up for the meetings.
Harold Hutchinson, citizen, Camelia Circle, suggested that
since members of the Commission are not required to be
Tequesta residents, perhaps parties who are interested in
serving could be found in neighboring communities, and
suggested that the Historical Commission be continued.
Councilmember Schauer suggested that if the Historical
Commission does continue, that they be required to keep their
own meeting minutes, to save the expense of hiring a Recording
Secretary to cover the meeting.

The Council concurred.

IX. COMMIINICATIONS FROM CITIZENS
o Wade Griest, 494 Dover Road, commented on the ongoing
issue regarding 498 Dover Road, stating he had made some
suggestions to the Village Council which have gone
unheeded. He also questioned the accuracy of the
Building Official's statement that 99$ of all Code
violators were brought into compliance. It was Mr.
Griest's position that the Village should take the
responsibility of going onto the property at 498 Dover
Road and do what is necessary to bring it into
compliance, since fines against this property now exceed
$165,000, far more than the value of the property. Mr.
Griest stated that he and many of those who are adversely
effected by the property in violation, have many
questions about the procedures being followed regarding
said property.
Village Manager Bradford explained to Mr. Griest that
Councilmember Capretta has met with Paul Brienza,
Chairman of the Code Enforcement Board, to discuss Code
Enforcement procedures. The outcome of that meeting was
that Scott Ladd, Clerk of the Code Enforcement Board, was
requested to begin having a formal item on each Agenda
of Code Enforcement Board Meetings whereby there will be
provide status updates on outstanding cases on which the
Board has taken citation action. Every Code complaint
must hereafter be presented to the Code Enforcement Board
on video. The Board was also requested to write a letter
to the Village Council, if they feel that fines on cases
do not remedy the problem, suggesting that other
enforcement procedures be used (i.e., the ability to go
on the property, cut grass, lien the property, etc.).

o John Giba stated that the Tequesta Governmental Complex
is far inadequate for the need that it must serve,
situated on limited acreage, and urged the Village
Council to consider buying the Lighthouse Plaza to be
developed as the ample governmental complex Tequesta
needs so desperately. It was also Mr. Giba's suggestion
that monies being allotted for Constitution Park be
transferred to the purchase and development of the
Lighthouse Plaza area to serve Tequesta administration.
He felt that doing so would stimulate growth in the whole
downtown area.
o Carlton Stoddard felt that Mr. Giba's suggestion to
purchase the Lighthouse Plaza area to serve as the
Village governmental complex was a good suggestion.
o Bill Shannon commented on Comprehensive Plan Amendment,
Coordinated Review Interlocal Agreement, and Multi-
Jurisdictional Issues Coordination Forum Interlocal
Agreement, which meets the Comprehensive Plan issues,
which were discussed on tonight's Agenda. He stated that
the recent North County Forum produced a position paper
was a terrific Comprehensive Plan document, which
treated, in great detail, the possibility of promoting
some district issues which would be very helpful to this
type of meeting agenda. He felt the position paper would
be a tremendous document to use in a coordinated effort.
X. ANY OTHER MATTERS
o Councilmember Schauer stated that she noted from the
packet regarding Florida League of Cities that the
Governor's Office would like to display city posters and
asked if Tequesta had one. The suggestion was made that
the posters from the recent Tequesta Fest be used to
represent the Village of Tequesta at the Governor's
Office in Tallahassee.

o Councilmember Collings commented felt the North County
Forum was terrific. Stressed at this Forum was the
realization of difficulty in communication between
municipalities. Mr. Collings felt those difficulties
exist within communities as well, i.e., Gallery Square,
North, next door to the Village Hall. He felt irritated
that the Village held up construction of the entry sign
at Gallery Square, North, (after it had been approved by
the Community Appearance Board), because someone had
forgotten to pay the building permit. Mr. Collings felt
those kinds of dealings with a neighbor were quite
bothersome. Mr. Collings expressed further frustrations
regarding a difficulty that presented itself when the
mobile home for housing the Tequesta firefighters was
brought in. He felt such pettiness did not reflect well
upon the Village.
X. ADJOURNMENT
Vice Mayor Burckart moved that the meeting be adjourned.
Councilmember Schauer seconded the motion. The vote on the
motion was:
Ron T. Mackail - for
Liz Schauer - for

the motion was therefore passed and adopted and the meeting
was adjourned at 9:00 P.M.
