Regular Meeting & Public Hearing Town Commission -July 27, 2000 page 2 Mayor Koch passed the gavel to Commissioner Lynch, declaring a conflict in that the real estate firm with which he is associated participated in the sale of the property to Mr. Omer. 1. An application submitted by Avi Omer, as Agent for Amcap Ventures, the owners of the property located at 555 Middle Road, Gulf Stream, Florida, which is legally described as Lot 13 & Part of Lot 14, Gulf Stream Cove Subdivision. Mr. Omer displayed a color rendering of the proposed two -story Bermuda style single family dwelling and said he would answer any questions. Town Manager Garrison explained that Mr. Omer had several pre - application meetings and discussions, and made a number of changes in an effort to submit plans in keeping with the Design Manual. Revisions included the following: adjustments to the FAR, revised setbacks, redesign of the tower feature, and simplification of architectural detailing. She further explained that at the Public Hearing held by the Architectural Review and Planning Board, Mr. Omer had agreed to make additional design changes to make the home more consistent with the Gulf Stream Bermuda style as follows: 1) Front columns changed to a smooth stucco finish; 2) Remove shutter from rear arched windows; 3) Revise muntins in rear arched windows to a more traditional fanlight design; 4) Remove windowsill brackets; 5) Replace cornice window heads with a smooth lintel (with or without a keystone); 6) Add muntins to lower portion of windows to achieve a more traditional Bermuda appearance and to comply with eight S.F. pane maximum. The Town Manager then circulated a revised front and rear elevation incorporating these changes. Mrs. Garrison advised she and the ARPB recommend granting the Special Exception to permit a 30' setback, as opposed to the permitted 50' setback, in the rear for the first -story only. a. SPECIAL EXCEPTION to reduce rear setback from 50' to 30' for the first floor. Commissioner Devitt moved and Commissioner Hopkins seconded that the Special Exception be granted to reduce the rear setback from 50' to 30' for one -story portions of the home, based on a finding that the proposed design meets the applicable review standards. Roll Call: Comm. Orthwein; AYE, Comm. Devitt; AYE, Comm. Hopkins; AYE, and Comm. Lynch; AYE. O b. LAND CLEARING PERMIT to relocate several trees and replace landscaping. Comm. Devitt moved to approve the Land Clearing Permit based on a finding that adequate replacement landscape materials are proposed. The motion was seconded by Comm. Hopkins. Roll Call: Comm. Orthwein; AYE, Comm. Devitt; AYE, Comm. Hopkins; AYE, and Comm. Lynch; AYE. c. LEVEL 3 ARCHITECTURAL /SITE PLAN REVIEW to demolish the existing structures and construct a single family Bermuda style dwelling with a partial second story, an attached 3 -car garage and a swimming pool. Regular Meeting & Public Hearing Town Commission -July 27, 2000 page 3 A motion was made by Comm. Devitt to approve the Level 3 Architectural Site Plan Review, based on a finding that the proposed plans with revisions, are consistent with applicable review standards, subject to the following conditions: 1) Prior to Certificate of Occupancy, the site shall be graded according to the drainage plans submitted with the application. The driveway shall be designed to include a swale, to Oprevent the run -off onto the road and to facilitate the free flow of drainage across the front of the property; 2) The Construction Traffic Management Plan submitted with the application shall be followed during construction; 3) The driveway pavers, entry piers and planting island may not extend into the Town's right -of -way unless the Commission approves a maintenance and removal agreement. The driveway entry shall be designed to include plantings or material changes that inform the public of the distinction between public and private property. 4) The owner has agreed to make the following recommended changes outlined in the staff report: a. Change columns to a smooth stucco finish. b. Remove shutters from rear arched windows. c. Revise muntins in rear arched windows to a more traditional fanlight design. d. Remove windowsill brackets. e. Replace cornice window heads with a smooth lintel (with or without a keystone). f. Add muntins to lower portion of windows to achieve a more traditional Bermuda appearance and to comply with eight S.F. pane maximum. These revisions shall be reflected in the building permit submittal. 5) If the lot sits vacant for more than 3 months after the existing building is demolished, the owner shall install sod and perimeter landscaping on the entire lot, and provide engineered drainage to retain the first inch of run -off and prevent flooding of adjacent properties. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Hopkins. Roll Call: Comm. Orthwein; AYE, Comm. Devitt; AYE, Comm. Hopkins; AYE, and Comm. Lynch; AYE. Commissioner Lynch returned the gavel to Mayor Koch. VIII. Reports. A. Town Manager 1. Drainage Projects a. School project - Completed Town Manager Garrison reported that this project has been completed and that the Town has inspected the function after several rainstorms. She said the system is functioning as expected. b. Aerials - Completed Mrs. Garrison displayed a copy of the aerials and advised that she has had occasion to refer to them several times and found them very helpful. c. Elsie's Pond - status The Town Manager reported that the Little Club has been working with the Town and several modifications have been made to address their concerns with the project. She further reported that the Club wants assurance that there will be no cost to them, and that there will be another meeting with the Little Club on Friday morning, July 3 0tH Regular Meeting & Public Hearing Town Commission -July 27, 2000 page 4 Mayor Koch pointed out that if the Little Club is not willing let the Town use Elsie's Pond to upgrade the drainage, budget adjustments would be in order. He reminded that a permanent easement must be executed for the area involved if the project moves forward. The Mayor advised that there are several ways to fund this project of approximately $600,000 that must be explored. Commissioner Lynch advised that he did not believe the property owners in Place Au Soleil would feel obligated to share in the cost of this project, adding that those who would benefit most should pay the majority of the cost. d. Polo, North of Golfview- direction requested Town Manager Garrison reported that easements to install drainage pipes are in the process of being executed in this area across lots that are in the process of being developed. In fact, one of the pipes has been installed and it will be necessary to obtain a permit from the South Florida Water Management District for the outfall into the Intracoastal. The cost for this portion of the design work /permit is estimated at $1,200. To complete the project it will be necessary to have a connection between these installations. Commission Lynch moved and Commissioner Hopkins seconded to approve the submittal of a permit appliction at this time. Roll Call: Comm. Orthwein; AYE, Comm. Devitt; AYE, Comm. Lynch; AYE, Comm. Hopkins; AYE, and Mayor Koch; AYE. 2. Public transit funding Mrs. Garrison, referring to a letter from Palm Tran that is in the agenda packet, asked direction from the Commission with regard to entering into an Interlocal Agreement with the Palm Beach County Commission to designate funding for public transportation projects from the Town's share of the local option gas tax. Commissioner Orthwein moved and Commissioner Hopkins seconded that the Town is not interested in funding public transit in any manner and directed the Town Manager to so inform Palm Tran. Roll Call: Comm. Orthwein; AYE, Comm. Devitt; AYE, Comm. Lynch; AYE, Comm. Hopkins; AYE, and Mayor Koch; AYE. 3. Communications Services Legislation The Town Manager suggested that this item be deferred to a future meeting, due to time constraints, and there were no objections. 4. Maintenance Costs a. Fire Hydrant replacement @ Lakeview & Gulf Stream Rd. Town Manager Garrison advised this is a very old hydrant that has been experiencing leaks. She advised the cost will be $3,300, a little more expensive than usual due to the fact that the water main is near the surface and the hydrants that are normally used would be too tall. b. Town Hall window painting It was reported by the Town Manager that the windows have been repainted on the outside and the Town has been advised that this will most likely need to be done each year to prevent deterioration. Regular Meeting & Public Hearing Town Commission -July 27, 2000 page 5 Mrs. Orthwein wondered if perhaps the windows should be replace with aluminum rather than the wood, and was advised that it would be very expensive to replace the windows when the repainting costs only $400 or $500 per year. Mr. Thrasher explained that the windows on the west side of the building are being replaced under warranty and have been ordered. B. Town Attorney There was no report from the Town Attorney. C. Architectural Review & Planning Board 1. Meeting Dates a. There will be no meeting in August 2000 b. Regular Meeting & Public Hearing 9- 28 -00, 8:30 A.M. c. Regular Meeting & Public Hearing 10- 26 -00, 8:30 A.M. d. Regular Meeting & Public Hearing 11- 16 -00, 8:30 A.M. e. Regular Meeting & Public Hearing 12- 21 -00, 8:30 A.M. Mayor Koch called attention to these meeting dates. D. Finance Director 1. Financial Report for June 2000 Finance Director Thrasher reported that transfers of interest are being made to the Water Fund as there is a "Due To" the Water Fund and the auditors had advised that this is what should be done. He reminded that it is that time of year when the Town starts dipping into the reserve funds for operation and a decline in the balance with SBA will become apparent over the next few months until the new tax revenue starts coming in. The Finance Director reported that some of the line item revenues show more collected than was expected and called special attention to the $44,000 line item marked FEMA. He advised that these overages would help offset some of the expenditures that are anticipated to be made from the unappropriated funds, and that a budget transfer will be made at the end of the fiscal year to even these out, but it is still too early to predict the net effect to the fund balance. Mr. Thrasher believed the net effect will not be as great as originally anticipated. He then asked if there were any questions regarding the Financial Report and there were none. Commissioner Lynch moved and Commissioner Devitt seconded that the Financial Report be approved as presented and all voted AYE. .�J Mr. Thrasher reported that he had attended the Annual Finance Officers Conference in Chicago at which he attended classes, which were strictly controlled, to continue his Certification. He advised that most of the education was with regard to the new GASB regulations that will radically change the way governmental accounting is done and the financial statements are presented. He explained that in the future it will be necessary to depreciate infrastructure, which is not done today. Therefore, a value must first be established which may prove difficult in some instances. Regular Meeting & Public Hearing Town Commission -July 27, 2000 page 6 E. Police Chief 1. Activity for June 2000 Chief Schultz presented the Activity Report for June 2000, adding that Det. Haseley had attended the Burglary /Robbery intelligence meeting at the Palm Beach County Sheriffs Office. He further reported that he had recently checked on the progress of the 800 radio frequency installation and was told that construction is expected to start on September 1, 2000, with an operational start -up projected for January 1, 2001. He believed the equipment for the Town should be received about 2 months prior to start -up. Chief Schultz called attention to his resignation letter effective September 30, 2000. In addition to the remarks in his letter, he added that he liked the Town very much and has enjoyed his association with the residents, Commissioners and employees, however he felt it is time to retire from law enforcement. Mayor Koch stated he has "gone through" 6 police chiefs and Chief Schultz has been the best. He added that the Chief has done a wonderful job and has grasped the feeling of the community, which is the most important thing for any employee of this town. He noted that Chief Schultz has preserved the quality of this community and he hates to see him leave. The Commissioners all agreed with the Mayor's remarks, adding that this will be a hard position to fill. Chief Schultz stated that there are very good people to look at within the department and it should be easy and a relatively painless transition. Mayor Koch suggested that Deputy Chief Gary Ward be appointed Acting Chief for a 6 -month period commencing October 1, 2000 and, if he performs as well as is expected, he would be appointed Chief. Commissioner Lynch so moved and Commissioner Orthwein seconded the motion. Roll Call: Comm. Orthwein; AYE, Comm. Devitt; AYE, Comm. Lynch; AYE, Comm. Hopkins; AYE, and Mayor Koch; AYE. The Commissioners noted that in light of this action, some budget adjustments will be necessary. IX. Items for Commission Action. A. Budget Presentation 2000 -2001 1. Budget Consideration The Town Manager stated that there are at least 2 things that should be accomplished at this meeting, establish a Tentative millage which is basically a cap, since the millage can be lowered at subsequent hearings but it cannot be increased. Mrs. Garrison further advised that she would like to know what adjustments to the budget, as proposed, the Commission would like to have made prior to the next budget hearing. She further advised that this proposed budget is based on a rolled back millage rate of $3.4089 per $1,000 of assessed value, does not take into Regular Meeting & Public Hearing Town Commission -July 27, 2000 page 7 consideration any major capital projects such as Elsie's Pond, only provides for a $34,000 contingency fund as opposed to the usual $50,000 and does not add anything to the fund balance. Mayor Koch noted that whatever surplus is left at the end of the year will be added to the fund balance, adding that historically there has always been some surplus. He favored establishing the Tentative Millage at the same rate as the current millage, $3.7653, in light of the drainage projects underway. He reminded that there would be two more hearings at which the budget will be refined and possibly the millage could be reduced. Commissioner Hopkins asked if staff ever considers lowering the millage rate. He realized this could only be done by cutting expenditures. Mr. Thrasher stated that he could not recommend any cuts at this time due in part to the possibility that there may be capital expenditures related to the drainage issue that could be met from the surplus funds, thus saving interest on a loan that would be necessary. Commissioner Lynch agreed with Mr. Thrasher, adding that he felt there are too many uncertainties regarding the projects at this time. Commissioner Hopkins called attention to the fact that, for an example, interest income was budgeted this year for $29,500, at 9 months, there has been collected $49,700, but in the proposed budget for next year the figure is shown at $32,500. Mr. Thrasher explained that this year there have been higher interest rates but he feels this level may not continue through the next year, and if funds are taken from the fund balance for capital projects, the interest will drop considerable. In addition, he advised that he always budgets conservatively in both revenue and expenditures. Commissioner Hopkins noted that there is a funded position for the 10th police officer that is never filled and suggested that by removing this from the budget it would establish a concept of a tighter budget. Mr. Thrasher could not agree with this from an operational standpoint. From a financial prospective, he stated that there was $78,000 starting .� fiscal year 1997 in the Fund Balance. He believed this to be very low, pointing out that many towns are carrying 30% of the total budgeted amount into the reserves. He noted that this year, the Town is starting with $672,000, which indicates tremendous progress. He reminded that reimbursement from FEMA for expenditures made as a result of the storms in 1999 is just now been completed, pointing out that the Town must have funds available to cover such emergencies. Therefore 30% of the Town's budget is not sufficient. Regular Meeting & Public Hearing Town Commission -July 27, 2000 page 8 Commissioner Hopkins stated he brings these things forward because other taxing entities, such as the school board, appear to be increasing taxes and he believed that the Commission owes it to the taxpayers to lower taxes wherever possible while still being responsible. Mayor Koch noted that the expenditures show an increase of approximately $100, 000. Commissioner Hopkins asked for an explanation of "sick bonus" and the Town Manager explained that if an employee is not absent for illness during the year, they are paid 4 days sick bonus. This was created to discourage absenteeism and to keep from having to pay for an accumulation of unused sick time when an employee terminates, which would be paid at a higher rate than when it was earned. She added that it has accomplished the goal. 2. Proposed Millage for 2000 -2001 Commissioner Orthwein moved that the Proposed Millage be adopted at $3.7853, the same as this current year. Commissioner Lynch seconded the motion, adding he thought it would be wrong to go below this. Roll Call: Comm. Orthwein; AYE, Comm. Devitt; AYE, Comm. Lynch; AYE, Comm. Hopkins; AYE, and Mayor Koch; AYE. 3. Certification of Rolled Back Millage Rate Commissioner Lynch moved and Commissioner Hopkins seconded that the Rolled Back Millage Rate be certified at $3.4089 for each $1,000 of assessed value. Roll Call: Comm. Orthwein; AYE, Comm. Devitt; AYE, Comm. Lynch; AYE, Comm. Hopkins; AYE, and Mayor Koch; AYE. 4. Date of first public hearing toward budget adoption Mayor Koch announced that the first public hearing to consider the Tentative Millage and Tentative Budget would be held on Wednesday, September 13, 2000 at 5:01 P.M. in the Town Hall. 5. Date of second public hearing for final budget adoption The Town Manager announced the second public hearing for adoption of a Final Millage rate and Final Budget would be held on Tuesday, September 26, 2000 at 5:01 in the Town Hall. B. Items by Mayor and Commissioners. Commissioner Hopkins advised that he would not discuss the "Merit Bonus" this year as he is sure he will be in philosophical disagreement. He added that he is pleased that everyone is getting the same. The Town Manager reminded that the Commission direction last year was that whatever the CPI was at the beginning of the fiscal year would be used for the cost of living increase. Mayor Koch observed that the Town Manager has provided salary adjustments for two employees. He suggested that Chief Schultz be given a $2,000 bonus for his performance this past year from this years budget and there were no objections. Mrs. Garrison explained that she is proposing to promote the Finance Director to the position of Assistant Town Manager with a $2,000 increase and to increase the salary of the Deputy Clerk by $1,150 to Regular Meeting & Public Hearing Town. Commission -July 27, 2000 page 9 compensate for extra duties being assigned to enable her to assume some of the Clerks duties in her absence. Mrs. Garrison added that she had not proposed a merit bonus for the police chief and town clerk as these persons are appointed directly by the Commission. She did point out that each of them have celebrated a 10th anniversary with the Town and while there is no longevity provision, this could be recognized if the Commission so desires. She advised that the Town Clerk did not receive a full 3% merit bonus last year because a salary adjustment had been made to bring her salary up to the level of comparable communities. The Town Manager suggested that this year the Commission consider the employees as a team, consider how the Town is being run and decide on a salary increase that the Commission feels is appropriate and apply it across the board, leaving any performance problems there may be up to her to correct. Commissioner Hopkins, realizing this is difficult, felt that not everyone could be working at the same level and be entitled to the same bonus. The Town Manager reminded that the matter of increases has been handled differently from year to year and she stated that she would never want the employees to believe that anything is guaranteed. Commissioner Devitt noted that in business, bonuses are determined by how profitable the business has been in the past year but that is not possible for a governmental agency. Mayor Koch advised that he knew of a municipality that allocated a certain percentage of the budget for salaries and the Town Manager then decides how much each employee is allocated. The Town Manager stated she had no problem with this, as she does not shy away from performance reviews. Commissioner Devitt asked what would happen if no one received a bonus to which the Town Manager replied that it would not have to be in the form of a bonus. Mayor Koch advised that he favored the bonus in that it is not required l that the bonus amount be included when computing the fringe benefits. Commissioner Orthwein suggested that everyone think about this discussion and try to come up with different solutions which can be discussed on August 11th. She further suggested that perhaps this is something that should be considered each year since personnel changes and it is possible that some years the "team" may not be working as well as it is at this time. Mayor Koch asked the Commission if they felt it proper to reimburse Commissioner Orthwein for the phone bill and all agreed it is proper. Regular Meeting & Public Hearing Town Commission -July 27, 2000 page 10 Commissioner Hopkins believed the Town should also reimburse Commissioner Lynch for his plane ticket to return for meetings and there were no objections. The Town Manager advised that the health insurance premium is quoted with a 73% increase and the Worker's Comp and Liability at 56 %. She stated that a search is underway for other quotes but that the Florida League of Cities has agreed to reduce the W.0 and Liability by $5,000 at this time with the possibility of an additional discount when the figures are all available. She advised that the League furnished insurance to the municipalities at a time when it could not be purchased from anyone and she would like to stay with them. The Commissioners were in agreement with leaving the W.C. and Liability with the League. Mr. Thrasher advised that the entire health care industry will be showing large premium increases and Attorney Randolph advised that all of the municipalities with which he has contact are experiencing the same increases. Commissioner Hopkins advised that his business has been notified of a similar increase in health insurance premiums. X. Correspondence. There was no correspondence. XI. Public. There was no comment from the public. XII. Adjournment. Mayor Koch adjourned the meeting at 11:06 A.M. on a motion to do so made by Commissioner Devitt that was seconded by Commissioner Lynch with all voting in the affirmative.
