VII. Reports.
A. Utility Undergrounding -Danny Brannon (Engineer).
(� Danny Brannon, the Town's Undergrounding Consultant, provided
information with regard to street lighting. He said there are 80 street
lights in the Town that need to be replaced, most of which are currently
Cobra Heads on concrete poles. Mr. Brannon said there are FPL
Traditional -Style lights that are fed underground on Middle Road and he
suggested driving by to see them. Mayor Orthwein asked how well they
hold up. Mr. Brannon said the new fiber glass holds up well, but the
older product is wearing and shows stranding. Commissioner Anderson
said the Traditional are in Place Au Soleil and they have held up very
well.
Mr. Brannon said the question is whether the Town wants to engage in
installing Town -owned lights or contract with FPL and have them install
the lights. He said if FPL installs the lights, the installation will
be an up -front cost of approximately $320,000 ($4,000 per light). The
other option would be a 10 -year agreement with FPL for standard lights
(Cobra Head lights on concrete poles or traditional light fixtures on
fiber glass poles), FPL will install the lights with no up -front costs,
and there is a monthly rental fee of $14.00 per light. Mayor Orthwein
asked about the cost of maintaining the lights. Mr. Brannon said the
maintenance costs are included in the material he distributed. He said
FPL will install high pressure sodium lights which they will replace
about every four years. If the Town owned the lights they would have a
four -year cycle and it would cost about $200 per light to
repair /maintain. The cost includes replacing a lamp and /or ballast and
labor.
Commissioner Stanley asked if any of the fixtures will convert to LED in
the future. Mr. Brannon said if the Town elects to install their own
lights he recommends considering LED. He said most of the towns his
firm works with are going with LED becasue the life of the lamps will be
5 to 8 times longer. Mr. Thrasher asked if there was an option on the
FPL traditional lights for LED. Mr. Brannon said FPL will only install
high pressure sodium, which is an orange - looking light. He said FPL has
discontinued everything but their standard and traditional. Mayor
Orthwein asked about the difference in cost with LED. Mr. Brannon said
it would be about $200 per fixture, LED is uniform lighting and there
would be a savings in energy costs.
Commissioner Stanley asked if the Town could get a grant for the
lighting, Mr. Brannon did not know the answer and Mayor Orthwein asked
if someone would look into that. Commissioner Ganger suggested looking
into other services that can be installed on the poles, such as wi -fi,
broadband or anything else the community may want. Mr. Brannon said it
is a common practice and he would look into it.
Regular Meeting and Public Hearing
Town Commission - September 14, 2012 Page 3
Mr. Brannon said there are a couple of choices; one is the FPL Standard
or Traditional and the other is Town -owned options. He said it is not a
problem to find a contractor to maintain Town -owned lights and prices
are reasonable. Most are going with LED and his recommendation is to
consider temperature control to get longer lamp life. Commissioner
Dering asked about the payback if the Town goes with LED. Mr. Brannon
f1 said he would have to run numbers, but he said there would be half of
�i the electric consumption and a savings in maintenance costs.
Commissioner Ganger asked if the cost of lighting is a line item in the
budget or lumped into another item. Mayor Orthwein said it is lumped
in.
Commissioner Ganger asked if the Town could use fewer lights if they
went with LED. Mr. Brannon said they typically try to match the current
lighting pattern. He said the light pattern on AlA is not continuous,
lights should be 100 feet apart and the existing lighting is scattered
at about 200 to 250 feet apart, which does not conform to FDOT
specifications. Commissioner Stanley said the choice appears to be the
FPL traditional or a more expensive fixture with LED. Mr. Brannon said
he would look into the possibility of buying the traditional style
fixture with LED. Mr. Brannon said the current lighting pattern is
mapped out and he will need to know the location of any lights the Town
wants to eliminate. He said the Town may get a slightly better price if
they bundle the lighting with the undergrounding. Mr. Brannon said
there the Town has about six -weeks to come up with the location of the
lights and a little more time to decide what type of light the Town
would like.
Commissioner Dering asked where the money will come from. Mr. Thrasher
said his thought was that the traditional lighting is less expensive and
he believes there are companies that could convert the traditional
fixtures to accommodate LED lighting. Mr. Brannon agreed with that;
however, he said the fixtures would not come from FPL. Mayor Orthwein
said this was not planned for in the budget and she asked Mr. Brannon to
put together the costs for the options discussed using the Traditional
fixture as an example for now. Everyone was in agreement and Mr.
Brannon said he would put everything together.
Mr. Thrasher mentioned that there were some residents who were concerned
about losing their light pole and he suggested being considerate in that
regard when eliminating light poles. Commissioner Ganger said they
v would only eliminate poles from areas where they are not noticed. Mr.
Brannon mentioned that the Town has two lighting zones; one zone is
along AlA and the other is the interior with accent lighting, and he
said the standard and traditional fixtures are lower than the lighting
on AlA. Mr. Thrasher asked if FDOT has lighting standards on AlA. Mr.
Brannon said he did not see an issue unless the Town was using TARP
money.
Clerk Taylor stated that the Town receives a rebate from FDOT each year
based on the number of lights along their highway, which Mr. Thrasher
confirmed was about $9,000, and she said they may refigure that rebate
Regular Meeting and Public Hearing
Town Commission - September 14, 2012 Page 4
if we eliminate lights and, therefore, she suggested that the Town look
into this. Mr. Thrasher said he does not know how the rebate came about
and does not want to stir the pot. Commissioner Ganger suggested
staying with the same number of lights on AlA in roughly the same
proximity, but he said our objective should be to have a reasonably
well -lit roadway with an attractive light that is cost effective. Mayor
Orthwein suggested using concrete poles on AlA with the traditional in
the interior zone.
Mr. Brannon said he will discuss lighting locations at the next meeting.
Mr. Thrasher said the Town has no expertise in the matter and asked Mr.
Brannon what the options are. Mr. Brannon said FPL no longer makes
street light location decisions due to legal issues in the past, and he
said a consultant would typically provide a photometric plan to locate
street lighting. In most jurisdictions requiring street lighting, a
photometric plan is developed to show that the lighting meets the
maximum uniformity. Mr. Brannon said Gulf Stream has accent lighting
rather than street lighting and it is scattered rather than continuous.
He said if you want street lighting you would have to add 10 times more
lights and, therefore, suggested replacing most lights at their same
location, maybe reconfigure a bit and possibly eliminate some.
Mr. Brannon asked if the Town had any issues with turtles. Clerk Taylor
said there have been no complaints. Commissioner Stanley asked if DEP
would need to approve anything the Town does on AlA. Clerk Taylor said
she has not heard of that along AlA. Mr. Brannon asked who maintains
AlA. Mr. Thrasher said FDOT maintains AlA through a private contractor.
Mr. Brannon said the clear zone will not be a problem, but he said the
Town would need to go through FDOT concerning AlA to be sure there are
no objections. Mr. Thrasher asked to be a part of the discussion with
FDOT.
Clerk Taylor reminded the Commissioners and Mr. Brannon that the next
Commission Meeting is scheduled for Friday, October 12, 2012 at 9:00

1. Financial Report for August 2012
2. Optional Format - Financial Report for August 2012
Mr. Thrasher stated that the Commissioners have been provided with two
different formats of the Financial Report. He said Kelly Avery is able
to provide whichever format you prefer and he asked that the
Commissioners give Kelly a call with their preference. Commissioner
Regular Meeting and Public Hearing
Town Commission - September 14, 2012 Page 5
Anderson stated that she met with Kelly Avery and she said Page 1 of the
report is very good, but she said it would better if you could see the
budget numbers, the variances and the actuals across the page. However,
she said it is her understanding that the current software will not do
that. Commissioner Anderson said that Kelly was going to talk to a
vendor and look into software options and prices. Commissioner Dering
said if we have software that cannot perform the task we require we
definitely need new software. Kelly said we can purchase a module for
the current software, but system support will eventually fade out and we
will need a new system. Mr. Thrasher said he installed Fundware when
the Town purchased it in 1996 and it has gone through some modifications
since then. Mr. Stanley said it will be about $30,000 when the system
is changed. Mr. Thrasher said Staff will look into the matter, get cost
estimates and come back to the Commission. He said he and Kelly are
scheduled to participate in a Webinar on September 20th and Kelly will
also look into other options.
Commissioner Dering moved and Commissioner Ganger seconded to approve
the Financial Report for August, 2012. There was no discussion. All
voted AYE.
Mr. Thrasher announced that Place Au Soleil has made their final payment
of $10,140 to the agreed -upon contribution to the project of $75,000.

III. Presentation of the Proposed Budget and Proposed Millage Rate for
Fiscal Year 2012 -2013.
A. Explanation and discussion of Proposed Millage Rate as
compared to the rolled back rate.
Town Manager William Thrasher stated that the Mayor and Commissioners
have been provided with the Tentative Budget for Fiscal Year 2012 -2013,
which is dated 9/14/12. He said the calculated roll back rate for
fiscal year 2012 -2013 is 2.8939, the proposed millage rate in the
tentative budget is 3.1000, which is 7.12% higher than the roll back
rate, and we have a balanced budget of $2,966,929.
B. Comment from the Commission and the public.
Referring to the Capital line item on Page 6 of the proposed budget,
Commissioner Ganger asked how much money will be added to reserves with
this budget, assuming costs come in as anticipated. Mr. Thrasher said
the Capital line item, which is Town Hall Expansion Design
Costs /Reserves, totals $82,194, and he said it may change based on other
budget changes before final budget, but the total budget amount of
$2,966,929 will not change.
Mayor Orthwein asked if there would be a savings by combining the costs
of Town Hall and Police Department computer upgrades. Chief Ward said
the software upgrades are purchased from different vendors and cannot be
�i combined. Commissioner Dering mentioned the $6,500 included in the
budget for accounting software and Mr. Thrasher confirmed that.
Commissioner Ganger said he considers what we may be looking at in the
coming year when planning a budget. He said we are driven by our
property values which went up 2% this year and, with annexation,
property values as a Town are almost exactly where they were in 2007 and
2008, but he said the question is whether we should anticipate the same
increase next year. He said Mayor Orthwein pointed out in the past that
our reserves have declined and we should begin to rebuild them, but the
question is at what pace and for what purpose. Commissioner Dering said
Town Commission- Public Hearing, Tentative Budget
September 14, 2012 Page 2
this year we will get $200,000 in additional revenue due to annexation
and an additional $225,000 in property tax revenue due to an increase in
property values. He said we are spending additional money, such as in
the Fire Contract, some significant items in revenue have gone down,
such as permits and other income, and expenses, such as salaries and
capital expenditures are up. Commissioner Dering said he does not
anticipate a decrease in property tax next year, there will be
O additional revenue from the annexed properties, 4001 N. Ocean will come
onto the tax roll, and he said other revenue will be generated. He said
the secret will be to hold the line on expenses going forward. The
Commissioners agreed.
Commissioner Ganger asked what the comfort level for reserves would be.
Commissioner Dering said if the building expansion project goes forward
there is nothing for reserves in this budget, but he said there will be
about $1 million in reserves at the end of this year, which he felt
would not be enough in the event of an emergency. Mayor Orthwein said
the budget was smaller, the Town usually kept $1 million in reserves,
but she said there should be at least six months of operating expenses
in reserves.
Commissioner Stanley asked Mr. Thrasher what amount is usually kept in
reserves. Mr. Thrasher said about three months of operating costs, but
he said this does not usually apply to smaller municipalities,
particularly if they have asset purchases or investments in future years
within five years. He suggested the Town look at a minimum of $1.5
million in the reserve balance, and he said after using $450,000 of
reserves, we will end up with about $1 million. Mr. Thrasher said, in
this budget, we are talking about an augmentation to that $1 million of
about $50,000. He said he will only anticipates getting drawings and
estimates from an architect to get an idea of what an expansion project
would cost. Mr. Thrasher said he is recommending a change in the
Capital line item, taking $10,000 of the $82,000 and adding it to
software, bringing the software item to $16,500.
Commissioner Dering said he believes there should be a line item for
reserves and asked if the budget can designate the other $50,000 to
reserves. Mr. Thrasher said he can do that. Commissioner Anderson said
the goal for reserves is $1.5 million and the Town has good prospects.
Mayor Orthwein agreed, adding also more expenses due to Fire Rescue and
other things. Commissioner Ganger asked about the Fire Contract. Mr.
Thrasher said there is an increase of $112,597 in the fire contract over
last year due to the annexed area, the contract was just renewed and
will go to 9/30/2020. Commissioner Ganger congratulated the Town for
negotiating a good and fair contract with Delray Beach.
Commissioner Ganger mentioned a typographical error in the printing line
item and asked Mr. Thrasher if he plans to increase the printing budget.
Mr. Thrasher said he does not plan to increase the printing budget, but
he will correct the error. He said there were unusual requirements with
regard to public notifications this year due to annexation and 4001 N.
Ocean, but he said in a normal year, in 2011 for example, the Town spent
only $2,027. Commissioner Ganger asked if Staff will use the web as a
Town Commission - Public Hearing, Tentative Budget
September 14, 2012 Page 3
communications tool to save money. Mayor Orthwein said the Town has
entered into a contract with a web developer, and she said the website
should be in place within the next 30 to 60 days, which will offset our
costs. Clerk Taylor mentioned that some of the printing costs will be
recovered because costs that are associated with a project will be
charged back to the developer.
O Commissioner Ganger asked if the Police Department is still planning on
purchasing the two Ford SUVs. Chief Ward confirmed that. Commissioner
Ganger asked if they will come with computers installed. Chief Ward
said the Town has the computers, and he said the Town will install them
as they do with all equipment for the purpose of saving money.
Commissioner Ganger asked about fuel costs. Mr. Thrasher said fuel
costs are listed in the budget at $51,000, which is assuming that fuel
costs will remain stable.
Mayor Orthwein said a decision is required on the Millage Rate.
Commissioner Ganger agreed with taking the millage rate to the
recommended rate of 3.1000. He said residents can handle a 3.1000
millage rate knowing that the Town is trying to rebuild their reserves.
Commissioner Anderson asked Clerk Taylor if there was any feedback from
residents after receiving their tax bills. Clerk Taylor said she has
not heard from anyone regarding the millage rate, but she said she
received calls about the assessment because their estimate was higher
than the actual figure. Commissioner Dering suggested that Staff make
sure that the Tax Collector has received the correct information because
he said the tax bill he received did not seem right to him.
Commissioner Stanley asked Mr. Thrasher, if one of the reasons for
setting the millage rate at 3.1000 is to compensate the Town for one-
time non - recurring expenses, will he add a line item for reserves in the
proposed final budget and still have a Capital outlay which will be
adjusted? Mr. Thrasher said he does not recommend making a line item
change, taking money out of Capital and putting it into an item such as
contingency or reserve. Commissioner Ganger said he does not agree. He
said we have been telling people the reason we went to 3.1000 from the
roll back rate was to begin the process of rebuilding our reserves and
there should be a line item showing reserves. Mr. Thrasher asked
Commissioner Ganger where he would like the line item and Commissioner
Ganger said he would like it at the bottom of the budget, instead of
contingency. Mr. Thrasher said he can do that and the numbers will not
change.
Clerk Taylor asked for a motion to adopt the General Fund Tentative
Millage Rate for Fiscal Year 2012 -2013.
IV. Adoption of the General Fund Tentative Millage Rate for Fiscal
Year 2012 -2013.
Commissioner Dering moved and Commissioner Stanley seconded to adopt the
General Fund Tentative Millage Rate 3.1000 for Fiscal Year 2012 -2013.
There was not discussion. All voted AYE.

Commissioner Ganger moved and Commissioner Stanley seconded to adopt the

discussion. All voted AYE.
B. Enterprise Fund
Mayor Orthwein explained that the Town started a small fund for future
repair and replacement costs for the infrastructure. She said repair
costs used to come out of the General Fund, but that the Town raised
rates to create a reserve in the Water Fund in order to keep the water
and operating budgets separate. Commissioner Ganger asked if there is
an assumption of a change in the price of water. Mr. Thrasher said he
has not been notified by Delray Beach of a price change. Commissioner
Ganger asked if there will be an increase in management fees, or
physical repairs. Mayor Orthwein said that matter will be discussed
during a Special Commission Meeting scheduled for Tuesday, September 25,
2012 at 4:00 P.M.
For the Record, Mr. Randolph stated that there was no public comment
during the Budget discussion.
Commissioner Dering moved and Commissioner Ganger seconded to adopt the

discussion. All voted AYE.
