Motion by Commissioner Marcus, seconded by Commissioner Masilotti, and carried 7-0. 4.A. ORDINANCE 99-37 ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE 92-20, KNOWN AS THE UNIFIED LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE (ULDC), TO PROVIDE CONSISTENCY WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND UPDATE VARIOUS SECTIONS OF THE ULDC, AND TO CORRECT INCONSISTENCIES AND SCRIVENERS' ERRORS, CONSOLIDATE AND ORGANIZE LIKE PROVISIONS, ELIMINATE REDUNDANCIES, AND AMEND IDENTIFIED PROBLEMS. (AMENDS ORDINANCE 92-20) (P.O.P. 606414) ADOPTED AS AMENDED 9-28-99 Stating that she believed it to be expensive and unnecessary, Commissioner Roberts suggested removing accessory dwellings designed as mother-in-law units from the requirement for concurrency. Principal Site Planner of Zoning Jon MacGillis explained that although the exemption of accessory dwellings could not be included in the ordinance under discussion, it could be brought back with the next round of code amendments. Commissioner Aaronson asked that staff also include Florida Power & Light Company in their considerations at that time in regard to adequate public facilities standards. PUBLIC COMMENT: Citing benefits for the residents, including comfort and convenience, Alan Ciklin, Jr., spoke in favor of allowing resales in real estate offices within planned unit developments. Richard W. (Chip) Carlson also spoke out in favor of allowing resales, stating that it facilitated the sale of new units, resulted in faster build-out of projects, and brought construction activity to a halt earlier. Commissioner Aaronson suggested setting up a committee involving both developers and realtors to negotiate an agreeable compromise. Commissioner Roberts offered that it made sense for a developer to be able to get rid of their new product based on resales, but she opposed a permanent resale office in any type of development. Commissioner Marcus commented that a stake holders group with Commissioner Aaronson as facilitator would be able to reach a compromise that would satisfy both sides. Commissioner Masilotti stated that he considered it unfair to residents to allow commercial use in their developments. Representing the Jonathan's Landing Property Owners Association Ron Kolins said that his client favored a permanent resale office in a civic pod in the development, and he asked that this issue be a part of any discussion in committee. Staff recommended that the Board approve the proposed ordinance minus the provisions for real estate sales models and direct that issue back to staff. MOTION to adopt the ordinance minus the provisions for real estate sales models. Motion by Commissioner Masilotti and seconded by Commissioner Marcus. Commissioner Aaronson suggested that the realtors have a chance to speak before a motion was made. Commissioner Lee pointed out that they would be prohibited to speak if the motion carried. Commissioner Masilotti agreed to withdraw his motion. MOTION WITHDRAWN. Michael W. Owen spoke against allowing resales in planned unit developments (PUD), claiming it was a distortion of the zoning code. John Poletto asserted that the Citizens Task Force (CTF) had voted almost unanimously against real estate sales offices handling resales in PUDs. He contended that the purpose for allowing real estate sales offices in PUDs was for new product sales only and that resales should be handled by resale brokers in commercial pods outside the communities. Daryl Snapp pointed out that allowing resales by the developers produced the net effect of prolonging the existence of a commercial intrusion in the neighborhood. He continued that the CTF was also against allowing commercial use in recreational or civic areas within PUDs. Speaking for several other realtors in attendance, Mr. Snapp declared that the realtor organization endorsed the CTF's recommendation. Mel Orlins spoke against the proposal by the Jonathan's Landing Property Owners Association board to allow a commercial enterprise in a civic pod within the community. Mr. Orlins submitted to the Board a letter from the planning and zoning board responding to a letter from the lawyer hired by the Jonathan's Landing Property Owners Association asking for zoning confirmation. The letter stated that a zone change from civic to commercial was necessary if the access to the real estate sales office was on public property. MOTION to receive and file the letter. Motion by Commissioner Masilotti, seconded by Commissioner Roberts, and carried 7-0. MOTION to adopt the ordinance as amended to delete Subpart 65 and with staff direction to put together a committee consisting of both developers and realtors to bring back suggestions and recommendations to the Board in November. Motion by Commissioner Marcus and seconded by Commissioner McCarty. Commissioner McCarty asked for clarification of whether the motion included having Commissioner Aaronson serve as facilitator for the committee. AMENDED MOTION to include Commissioner Aaronson serving as facilitator of the committee. The maker and seconder agreed. Upon call for a vote, the motion carried 7-0.

ORDINANCE 99-39 ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR ADOPTION OF REVISED FIVE-YEAR ROAD PLAN AND REVISED LIST OF PROJECTS CONTAINED IN EXHIBIT A; IMPLEMENTATION AND MODIFICATION OF THE PLAN; AND FUNDING OF OTHER ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS. (AMENDS ORDINANCE 85-40) (P.O.P. 606301) ADOPTED AS AMENDED 9-28-99 MOTION to adopt the ordinance. Motion by Commissioner McCarty and seconded by commissioner Marcus. Commissioner Newell pointed out that City of Greenacres residents and council members were concerned that the removal of Melaleuca Lane from the Five-Year Road Program affected their plans, including the elementary school being constructed at Haverhill Road. He asked that if any projects were delayed that the Melaleuca Lane project be put back in the current plan. Commissioner McCarty suggested that the project be prioritized for the next Five-Year Road Program and that roads "bumped" as a result of cuts should be prioritized for consideration when the Board discusses next year's road program. (CLERK'S NOTE: Commissioner Masilotti rejoined the meeting.) County Engineer George T. Webb recommended that funding for the project be put back in the plan and suggested the following revisions to Exhibit A: • Line item Melaleuca Lane/Jog Road to Haverhill Road (Page 3): Instead of $390,000 in Fiscal Year 2002-2003, $350,000 should be put back in Fiscal Year 2000-2001. To accomplish that, line item Reserve-Plans/Alignments (Page 3), $1,720,000 should be changed to $1,550,000. • Line item Intersection Program Countywide (Page 1): $4,000,000 should be reduced to $3,820,000. The total from the two projects would then go into the right-of-way portion for Fiscal Year 2002-2003. Commissioner Newell commented that moving the right-of-way up two years would be beneficial and that it should be the first project brought back for consideration for the plan. PUBLIC COMMENT: Lorraine Reynolds spoke against Melaleuca Lane Phase 2 project being taken out of the program, saying it was a safety issue involving a four-lane road abruptly becoming a two-lane road. Terry Watterson, agent for Garden Oaks Homeowners Association, requested transferring the Northlake Retriever project to Fiscal Year 2000-2001 in order to allow time to determine if the roadway is necessary. Commissioner Marcus responded that the County's agreements with the City of Riviera Beach and the Town of Lake Park require the County to move forward on this project in an expeditious manner, and if it were to be delayed it would have to be done at the request of the local governments. She suggested to Mr. Watterson that he contact the local governments and organize the effort to delay the project. Mr. Webb offered the following corrections to the ordinance as findings of fact. • Line item Road Program Revenues (Page 1): Take out the local option in front of Gas Tax and insert Gasoline Taxes, which would allow the combining of Local Option and Constitutional Gas Taxes to fund various items in the program with the appropriate type of gas tax. • Line item Intersection Program (Page 2): Change $4,000,000 to $3,820,000 under Fiscal Year 2000-2001. • Line item Melaleuca Lane/Jog Road to Haverhill Road (Page 3): Under Fiscal Year 1998-1999, add $230,000 for design in order to go ahead with the right-of-way portion of the project. On that same line, add $350,000 to Fiscal Year 2000-2001, deleting the same amount from Fiscal Year 2002-2003. • Line item Reserve-Plans/Alignments (Page 3): Change $870,000 to $640,000 in order to recover $230,000 for the Melaleuca Lane project. Under Fiscal Year 2000-2001, replace $1,720,000 by $1,550,000. Under Fiscal Year 2002-2003, replace $1,890,000 by $2,880,000. Mr. Webb noted that the Board would be furnished with a clean copy of all the foregoing changes. SUBSTITUTE MOTION to adopt as findings of fact the changes read into the record by County Engineer Webb. Motion by Commissioner Masilotti, seconded by Commissioner Marcus, and carried 7-0. M MOTION to adopt the ordinance as amended and as read into the record by County Engineer Webb. Motion by Commissioner Marcus, seconded by Commissioner Masilotti, and carried 7-0. (CLERK'S NOTE: Commissioner Marcus left the meeting.) 4.E. ORDINANCE 99-40 ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 28 OF THE COUNTY CODE PERTAINING TO DISCHARGE OF FIREARMS AND FIREARM SALES; PROVIDING FOR A MANDATORY FIVE-DAY WAITING PERIOD IN CONNECTION WITH ALL FIREARM SALES. (P.O.P. 606301) (AMENDS ORDINANCE 92-15) ADOPTED 9-28-99 MOTION to adopt the ordinance. Motion by Commissioner Aaronson and seconded by Commissioner Roberts. PUBLIC COMMENT: Dr. Norman Johnson spoke in opposition to the proposed ordinance saying that the change would do little to alleviate the rise in homicides across the country. He pointed out that according to the media, firearms used in the commission of crimes had been purchased well in advance of their use. Also opposing, Frank Kozlowski commented that firearms owners were a minority and as such they deserved to have their rights protected. James Wilkins argued that rather than limit the purchase of firearms by honest citizens, law enforcement should concentrate on getting felons off the streets. Commissioner Lee read comments in opposition from George Russum asserting that the ordinance would infringe on private property rights. Commissioner Newell stated that while he supported the five-day waiting period for handguns, he could not support the ordinance as it also pertained to the purchase of shotguns, other long guns, and collectibles. UPON CALL FOR A VOTE, the motion carried 5-1. Commissioner Newell opposed. Commissioner Marcus absent. 4.F. ORDINANCE 99-41 ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING A COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT OVER THE REAL PROPERTY LEGALLY DESCRIBED ON EXHIBIT A TO THIS ORDINANCE COMPRISING APPROXIMATELY 213 ACRES; NAMING THE INITIAL MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE DISTRICT; ESTABLISHING THE NAME OF THE DISTRICT AS JOURNEY'S END COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT; DESIGNATING THE POWERS OF THE DISTRICT; AND DESIGNATING THE PURPOSE OF THE DISTRICT. (P.O.P. 620212) ADOPTED AS AMENDED 9-28-99 MOTION to adopt the ordinance. Motion by Commissioner Roberts and seconded by Commissioner Aaronson. (CLERK'S NOTE: Commissioners McCarty and Masilotti left the meeting.) PUBLIC COMMENT: Dagmar Brahs, president of the Coalition of Boynton West Residential Associations (COBWRA), spoke in opposition to the proposed ordinance, claiming that it was unfair for homeowners to have to pay for their own roads and sewer every month for 30 years. She was also concerned that buyers were not informed of the special assessments before purchase. Assistant County Attorney Barbara Alterman noted that the ordinance as written requires disclosure in the initial sale and the contract as well as on any real estate deed conveying property so that any subsequent buyers would also be aware of it. Commissioner Aaronson recommended that the disclosure be included in sales materials and brochures. Commissioner Masilotti suggested that a large sign be mounted outside the sales office in a prominent location disclosing the special assessment. F. Martin Perry, representing the developer, spoke in favor of the ordinance and insisted that buyers were being informed about the special assessments. Commissioner Lee asked for assurance that the homeowners realize they could be paying less for their homes if not for the special assessment. Mr. Perry responded that the answer lies within the competitive market and if the buyer does not believe that the unit is competitive with other similar units, he or she would not purchase it. Ms. Alterman suggested that a provision be added requiring annual monitoring of sales brochures and contracts to ensure that the disclosure statement was included. The maker and seconder agreed. Ms. Alterman then clarified for the record the following changes to be made to the ordinance: • There shall be a disclosure of the fact that this is a special taxing district and that a special assessment will be assessed on the tax bill against all property within this development. • This information shall be provided in all sales brochures and all sales information and a large sign announcing the disclosure shall be posted at the entrance of the sales office. • The special taxing district shall submit on an annual basis all sales brochures, sales information, and contracts for sale to the monitoring section to ensure that the disclosure statements are included in all of these documents. AMENDED MOTION to include the changes read into the record by Assistant County Attorney Alterman. The maker and seconder agreed. Upon call for a vote, the motion carried 4-0. Commissioners McCarty, Marcus, and Masilotti absent. 4.G.

FRAZIER & ASSOCIATES, INC., WAS SELECTED TO PROVIDE THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES REQUIRED FOR THE MAINTENANCE COMPOUND AND DEPARTMENT OF AIRPORTS ADMINISTRATION CENTER PROJECT. APPROVED 9-28-99 MOTION to approve the minutes. Motion by Commissioner Masilotti and seconded by Commissioner Newell. Commissioner Newell expressed his concern that the short list of consultants contained few local firms. He noted that the firm selected was a Broward firm and stressed that monies spent in the County should go to firms that were wholly owned and operated within the County. Commissioner Roberts agreed and asserted that this was a good example of why the County needed to use local preference when selecting firms for professional services. She pointed out that while the County uses both Broward and Dade firms, those counties do not reciprocate. Commissioner Aaronson commented that the County should select firms using the same point value system used by Broward and Dade counties. That way the selection process would be consistent among the three counties, he said. Commissioner Newell suggested that the percentage of points awarded be equal to the percentage of work individual firms are given along with their use of local minority workers. Commissioner Masilotti agreed. Commissioner Lee also agreed but recommended that the Board hold a workshop to allow the Minority/Women's Business Enterprise and other concerned groups the opportunity to offer input. The Commissioners informally agreed to hold a workshop on October 26, 1999. SECOND TO MOTION WITHDRAWN. MOTION WITHDRAWN.

Hastings stating his opposition to the selection of U.S. Strategies Corporation as the lobbying firm to represent the County's interests at the federal level. He expressed concern about the firm's complete lack of minority representation. Commissioner Lee also read into the record a prepared statement of her own directed to the Board wherein she expressed her dissension with the manner in which the selection of the firm was handled by the Board. She contended that the selection should have been made under the usual procedure of issuing a request for proposal and after consulting with the County's Congressional Delegation. Of special concern was the lack of minority representation in the selected firm, she said.

APPROVED AS AMENDED 9-28-99 MOTION to approve the agreement. Motion by Commissioner Roberts and seconded by Commissioner Marcus. A lengthy discussion ensued during which the Commissioners expressed disapproval with many aspects of the agreement before agreeing upon several changes. AMENDED MOTION to include the following: take out Item 3, Page 7; add $200 membership category; add wording to identify funding source as the Tourist Development Council in all instances; add wording to specify that Discover Palm Beach County will provide services to the County only; delete wording "from time to time" referring to operating deficits; and add wording to clarify funding source of additional salary or bonus. The maker and seconder agreed. Commissioner Newell expressed concern about the small hotel and motel operators who were unable to afford the cost of corporate membership and who, therefore, would not receive many of the benefits of participation. He also queried staff about a newspaper report that indicated that tourism income was down in the County during the first quarter of 1999. Mr. Newell then questioned staff about funding for any operating deficits that might occur, and went on to dispute the language in the contract which specified that the Tourist Development Council's Board of Directors must approve paying for deficits beforehand. Staff direction was given to investigate comparable counties' liability policies for convention centers, and to present salary changes to the Board in a timely fashion.

DISCUSSED WITH DIRECTION 9-28-99 Commissioner Marcus suggested that staff be directed to draft a response to the letter from State Representative Kennneth Pruitt encouraging his support for the implementation of Revision 7, saying it would benefit the taxpayers of the County. She said that the public had shown a lot of support for Revision 7 and Representative Pruitt was in a key position as chair of the Appropriations Committee to champion it in the legislature . Ms. Marcus further stated that it was appropriate to respond to Representative Pruitt's comment that the counties should tighten their belts since the County had done just that during the past seven years despite difficulties such as losing the intangibles tax. Commissioner Lee pointed out that the Board needed more information before making a determination about Revision 7. Commissioner Aaronson agreed that more information was needed but said a letter to Representative Pruitt encouraging his support was appropriate at this time. No backup submitted. 8.B. COMMISSIONER BURT AARONSON 8.B.1. REQUEST TO HOLD WORKSHOP WITH FLORIDA POWER & LIGHT. DISCUSSED WITH DIRECTION 9-28-99 Commissioner Aaronson suggested that the Board hold a workshop with representatives from Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) to discuss the County's Comprehensive Plan and FPL's needs for the future.

The Board informally agreed, and direction was given for staff to write a letter to FPL to set up a workshop with them. No backup submitted. 8.C. COMMISSIONER MARY MCCARTY 8.C.1. SALE OF CHRISTMAS TREES AND WREATHS AT INTERSECTION OF MILITARY TRAIL AND GUN CLUB ROAD. DISCUSSED 9-28-99 Commissioner McCarty reported that she had been asked to request the Board to allow the sale of Christmas trees and wreaths at the corner of Military Trail and Gun Club Road. Commissioner Roberts pointed out that there was a traffic problem at that location, and she said that if the Board allowed one exception, others were sure to come forward also wanting exemptions. Deputy County Administrator Patrick Miller suggested that the shopping center across the street from the area under question would be a more appropriate place for the sale of holiday decorations. No backup submitted. 8.C.2. PARENTAL NOTIFICATION AND USE OF BLOCKS ON COMPUTERS IN THE COUNTY LIBRARY SYSTEM. DISCUSSED 9-28-99 Commissioner McCarty expressed concern that children who have library cards have access to all the books in the library as well as all Internet information. She asserted that parents should be aware that they have the responsibility to monitor their children and what they look at and check out. She suggested that staff look into a blocking system for the library's computers such as the one that the Boynton Beach library has, and also recommended that notification be printed on the library card applications informing parents of all their children would be able to access in the library. No backup submitted. 8.D. COMMISSIONER WARREN H. NEWELL - None 8.E. COMMISSIONER CAROL A. ROBERTS - None 8.F. COMMISSIONER TONY MASILOTTI 8.F.1. REMOVAL OF DOWNED TREES DURING HURRICANE SEASON. DISCUSSED 9-28-99 Commissioner Masilotti asked for help regarding the removal of downed trees especially during hurricane season. He noted that a developer had knocked down trees along a section of Lake Worth Road and for several months the trees remained there during several hurricane warnings. He complained that it took many calls to the Code Enforcement Division before the developer was cited. Commissioner McCarty suggested that during hurricane season the County remove the trees and then bill or place a lien on the reponsible party. She also proposed checking with other counties and municipalities to see how they handle similar problems. No backup submitted. 8.F.2. DUPLICATION OF INFORMATION COMPILED BY THE HEALTH CARE DISTRICT, CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES, AND THE COUNTY. DISCUSSED 9-28-99 Commissioner Masilotti suggested compiling information from the Health Care District, Children and Family Services, and the County. He pointed out that among the three governmental agencies, about $12 Million a year was being spent compiling the same information. No backup submitted. 8.F.3. LOXAHATCHEE GROVES WATER CONTROL DISTRICT'S ROAD MAINTENANCE. DISCUSSED 9-28-99 Commissioner Masilotti reported that the Board of the Loxahatchee Groves Water Control District had told Loxahatchee residents that it was the County's responsibility to maintain their roads. The board had also suggested that the residents protest to the County about the poor maintenance of the roads. Mr. Masilotti said that evidently the board had decided that the roads had gotten to be too much for them to maintain. County Administrator Weisman commented that typically the reason water control districts exist is to maintain the roads and drainage. Commissioner Marcus suggested abolishing the district. Commissioner Masilotti concurred with abolishing the district if they were not going to handle the problems. No backup submitted. 8.G. COMMISSIONER MAUDE FORD LEE 8.G.1. COMMISSIONER LEE TO ATTEND FLORIDA ASSOCIATION OF COUNTIES MEETING IN ORLANDO. DISCUSSED 9-28-99 Commissioner Lee informed the Board of her upcoming trip to Orlando to attend the Human Services Committee meeting of the Florida Association of Counties (FAC). She said that the committee would be working on the legislative package for FAC, and she offered to include any items the Board wanted. 9.
