[4:03] the agenda.
[4:04] We have a second.
[4:08] All those in favor say aye.
[4:09] Motion passes.
[4:13] We will now move on to
[4:13] information
[4:15] informational items by members
[4:16] of the commission.
[4:19] I'd like to monday evening at
[4:22] 6:00 P.M. At the care
[4:25] olyn sims
[4:26] center.
[4:28] Rob long will be one of the
[4:31] speakers and I urge all of you
[4:32] to be there.
[4:34] We have some very, very
[4:36] important information we need to
[4:38] share with each of you.
[4:39] >> commissioner kelley.
[4:42] >> can I go last.
[4:45] >>
[4:49] >> I wanted to kind of hijack
[4:52] this information null item to
[4:58] first want to if chief b
[4:59] rud
[5:00] echlt
[5:00] e
[5:01] bruder I
[5:16] think we got some exciting so
[5:19] chief, just I'm excited to hear
[5:19] the news.
[5:22] So if you can explain to the
[5:24] members of the public and to the
[5:28] commission what this iso rating
[5:31] means to us, and the residents
[5:33] I'd appreciate it.
[5:34] >> thank you.
[5:37] I would be honored to.
[5:41] Yes the iso rating actually
[5:46] places fish services at the
[5:49] pinnacle of fire services.
[5:52] Or an iso review and only 400
[5:55] fire departments from the kosta
[5:58] country have reached the iso
[6:01] rating status.
[6:03] This was not something that has
[6:05] been done orr night.
[6:07] And honing our operations to
[6:10] meet very, very stricken
[6:11] ngent fire
[6:13] rescue service requirements.
[6:16] It isn't just about fire rescue.
[6:19] A majority of these iso
[6:22] requirements are in fire real
[6:29] estate cue in nature.
[6:32] In making sure that our water
[6:34] infrastructure meets those
[6:36] stringent requirements.
[6:40] The other is the communications
[6:41] requirements.
[6:42] Because our communications
[6:46] center actually got a 9.5 out of
[6:47] 10.
[6:48] That was a tremendous rating.
[6:51] Again the beautiful part about
[6:51] this.
[6:55] Not only does it show that your
[6:58] fire rescue agency is at the
[6:59] opinion
[6:59] pinnacle.
[7:02] Because the citizens could be
[7:07] getting a break on the fire
[7:13] portion of their homeowner's
[7:21] insurance.
[7:24] And we wereat the rating for 2
[7:25] for how long.
[7:29] We've never reached where we
[7:30] are.
[7:35] To my knowledge we were a 2a.
[7:38] Iso go from 1 to 10.
[7:40] A lot of types of apparatus.
[7:42] The types of training.
[7:45] The fact that we do live fire
[7:46] training.
[7:48] Which is very rare.
[7:51] We actually far exceeded those
[7:51] benchmarks.
[7:58] We came in statistically at 97%.
[8:02] To a final rating of 93.
[8:05] >> so I just wanted to bring you
[8:23] up.
[8:25] And those outside of our city.
[8:25] >> absolutely.
[8:27] And they did.
[8:31] My executives staff spent
[8:33] countless hours working with
[8:34] auditors.
[8:37] Kudos to them and it city
[8:39] departments we partner.
[8:40] To you as well.
[8:48] Without you believing in me and
[8:51] so it's an entire city effort.
[8:52] >> mayor.
[8:54] Thank you.
[8:57] Commissioner kelley for bringing
[8:58] that up.
[9:02] >> chief, chief, chief, hello.
[9:20] >> we go the bad news fast.
[9:25] And the good news goes slow as
[9:26] mow alaska.
[9:29] This makes the city looks good
[9:37] and makes the dais good to us.
[9:38] Congratulations.
[9:40] This is my first time hearing
[9:41] about it.
[9:45] I in vitinged all of the top
[9:53] echelons.
[9:54] Thank you.
[9:55] Thank you, sir.
[9:56] >> thank you.
[9:58] >> next we will be doing the
[10:01] proclamation for hunger action
[10:01] month.
[10:03] Commissioner kelley is going to
[10:06] read the proclamation, and it
[10:12] will be accepted by allyson vocs
[10:29] from hunger for action.
[10:31] We will now be moving on.
[10:33] Since you mentioned that if we
[10:36] want to push the discussion item
[10:39] that vice mayor turkin was
[10:40] supposed to mention today.
[10:43] If we're going to push and amend
[10:45] the agenda we might want to move
[10:52] that to the SEPTEMBER 16th.
[11:06] Correct.
[11:08] Or you can have the discussion
[11:10] without him.
[11:12] Do we have room on the 8th or
[11:13] move it to the 16th.
[11:15] >> I definitely think it should
[11:24] be the 16th.
[11:26] So we'll move the proclamation
[11:28] to the end of 5.
[11:31] If she's not here we'll hold
[11:32] off.
[11:33] I can present it to her.
[11:37] Make that 5c.
[11:41] >> I'll make a motion to amend
[11:42] the agenda.
[11:46] >> we have a motion to amend the
[11:48] agenda.
[11:51] Motion passes unanimously.
[12:00] Proclamation.
[12:03] >> right now we're going to move
[12:03] to public comment.
[12:06] We're going to alternate our
[12:09] mics to keep things moving.
[12:11] This is not a q & a.
[12:15] Not an individual on the dais or
[12:16] audience.
[12:17] And you would be asked to leave
[12:20] if you violated these rules.
[12:22] After we've concluded the in
[12:25] person comments we will move to
[12:26] on line comments.
[12:29] >> so it's been two weeks since
[12:41] the last weeks and I our missing
[12:43] $100,000 piece of art.
[12:45] i will be forever, scp
[12:46] and I will
[12:48] continue bringing this up.
[12:52] And our missing $100,000 pass of
[12:56] art until I get some status
[13:00] update and get our bloomer tree
[13:08] back up or give back to me.
[13:11] Second of all, my nonprofit that
[13:15] I started almost 20 years ago.
[13:17] Actually it is 20 years.
[13:21] The saint george's donated palm
[13:27] trees in 2022 to the city of
[13:29] boynton, and they were planted
[13:33] on woll bright next to the fire
[13:38] station.
[13:41] And they have been replaced with
[13:45] palms as we all know from my
[13:46] many palms are not trees.
[13:49] So you have a whole bunch of
[13:51] growing trees out there and two
[13:53] palms that somebody just
[13:54] planted.
[13:54] I don't think it was anyone in
[13:56] the city.
[13:58] I think somebody went out and
[13:59] planted them.
[14:03] Maybe we want to re-look at that
[14:06] and see why two palms are
[14:09] planted in a native tree forest.
[14:13] And then I want to say I've
[14:15] noticed the two pieces I've
[14:18] emailed that are not the two
[14:20] kinetic pieces.
[14:22] The one out front.
[14:24] It's still not spinning.
[14:28] And then of course there's al
[14:29] faun
[14:33] wn so reflection piece is
[14:35] still under warranty.
[14:37] It's still not spinning.
[14:40] It is a heavier piece.
[14:42] And it's still not.
[14:44] So thank you very much for
[14:45] looking into this.
[14:47] I look forward to the results of
[14:49] this investigation.
[14:50] >> thank you.
[15:00] Next, please.
[15:04] I've been around since 1974.
[15:06] In the area.
[15:08] so I'm vella quainted with
[15:11] boynton as well as del rey
[15:11] beach.
[15:14] Mayor and commissioners I want
[15:17] to go back a little bit in the
[15:18] re-
[15:20] reimagine boynton plan you had.
[15:23] When the city reimagine wreck
[15:26] recreation in APRIL of 2022 it
[15:29] told that this 10-year planning
[15:32] effort had the potential to
[15:33] protect green spaces.
[15:34] That was the intention.
[15:37] And in the city's language not
[15:38] mine.
[15:40] I didn't make that up.
[15:43] The taxpayers did not get this
[15:45] plan for free.
[15:47] The city commission unanimously
[15:49] authorized the city manager to
[15:53] issue 163,
[15:59] $163,751 to gentile glass
[16:02] for profession for park and rec
[16:04] system master plan.
[16:07] Within weeks commissioner cruz
[16:10] and commissioner turkin came on
[16:15] board and in the same board
[16:19] daniel did you goer became the
[16:20] city manager.
[16:23] And these are not the officials
[16:26] who inherited some decade old
[16:26] plan.
[16:30] This plan was in the making in
[16:34] 2022 carried forward into 2023.
[16:39] And the planet self was about
[16:41] green spaces.
[16:43] This is a 2
[16:44] 34 page plan.
[16:49] The people on the plan angela
[16:49] cruz.
[16:53] Turkin, kelley, do you go you
[16:55] are.
[16:57] Temple.
[16:58] Matteus.
[17:00] I appreciate that a lot.
[17:03] So I guess the thing I want to
[17:08] know specifically is you know
[17:09] what was the result of the plan
[17:11] about these properties.
[17:14] And specifically obviously the
[17:16] properties I'm interested in but
[17:18] there are other properties as
[17:18] well.
[17:21] This is green space.
[17:22] This was capital planning for
[17:25] this as it appeared.
[17:30] What happened for this plan that
[17:34] we paid 1
[17:37] $163,751 for.
[17:41] Why we're not longer looking at
[17:42] this plan.
[17:44] When the re-
[17:46] imagine recreation
[17:46] boynton.
[17:50] The taxpayers paid the cults.
[17:51] We were involved.
[17:53] I want to know for the park and
[17:56] rec I want to know where we
[17:57] stand.
[18:00] I want to know how come we're
[18:03] unimagining now.
[18:09] >> sir.
[18:14] >> hello my pete fitzpatrick.
[18:19] I'm a 40-year resident of golf
[18:25] harbor to come out to golf view
[18:28] harbor, and please look at this
[18:31] area we want to maintain as
[18:32] passive park space.
[18:34] We appreciate all you're doing.
[18:36] The further considerations.
[18:38] I know we're not on the agenda
[18:39] until next week.
[18:42] But please if you have the
[18:43] opportunity come out.
[18:46] Look at that parcel of land.
[18:48] Look at the wildlife there and
[18:53] see how it will affect our
[18:56] quality of life there.
[18:58] I'm in my third home there.
[19:05] >> sir.
[19:07] >> good evening.
[19:08] My david whoever.
[19:12] I'm a 30-year vet from the palm
[19:13] beach fire rescue.
[19:15] About placing a training
[19:17] facility close to residential
[19:17] neighborhood.
[19:20] One of the things I forgot to
[19:22] speak about I hope you
[19:25] understand and some of you may
[19:26] training for both police and
[19:29] fire goes on 24 hours a day.
[19:31] Those training at night.
[19:34] This is what keeps us sharp when
[19:36] we're sleeping.
[19:41] Putting a gun range possibly
[19:43] used in the evening.
[19:45] You can hear that and this is
[19:50] only in most gun ranges pistol
[19:51] fire.
[19:54] These gentlemen are also going
[19:55] to have rifle practice.
[19:57] It's going to resonate through
[19:59] our dolft and through the area
[20:02] of golf view harbor where I
[20:02] live.
[20:04] Please take this into
[20:06] consideration as you look at
[20:07] this.
[20:09] This training could be going on
[20:09] at night.
[20:11] But a residential area is not
[20:13] the right place.
[20:16] It needs to be where it is
[20:18] commercial and will not disturb
[20:19] the residents.
[20:22] Thank you for allowing me to
[20:23] speak.
[20:24] >> thank you.
[20:25] >> next, please.
[20:27] >> hi.
[20:31] My name is zariah.
[20:35] I wanted to come here on my
[20:42] street south seacrest by the
[20:45] rainbow store we really need a
[20:48] traffic light because when we're
[20:50] turning left it's like a blind
[20:53] spot where we can't see
[20:53] anything.
[20:58] And I'm worried we might get
[21:00] into a car crash.
[21:03] We really need a traffic light
[21:03] there.
[21:08] My mom or always talks about it.
[21:10] But today I decided to step up
[21:15] and say something about it.
[21:23] [Applause]
[21:25] >> you're next.
[21:34] >> I don't want to follow that.
[21:37] >> good evening.
[21:38] good evening commissioners.
[21:41] My here representing florida
[21:42] badges of sea.
[21:46] We're a soccer academy in the
[21:48] city of boynton beach.
[21:51] We've been around since 2018.
[21:55] I'm just here to I'm aware not
[21:58] many of you are aware of florida
[21:59] badges.
[22:00] We're a little community program
[22:02] that is centered around getting
[22:04] kids off the streets.
[22:06] It is a positive thing.
[22:09] We've started very small, scp
[22:10] and
[22:15] now this year we've grown to the
[22:19] point we're playing the aurge
[22:20] tae
[22:23] ee nah walk up team.
[22:25] And we're completing the U.S.
[22:28] Open cup and uspl.
[22:31] Our goal to give the kids and
[22:32] young adults a structured
[22:34] positive environment.
[22:37] And our academy is structured in
[22:41] a way that can keep -- can keep
[22:44] kids off the streets from little
[22:47] kids at the age of 5 through
[22:47] adulthood.
[22:51] I simply wanted to say hi and
[22:54] introduce our academy, our
[22:56] soccer team and I look forward
[23:01] to word meeting you guys in the
[23:02] future.
[23:04] I'm proud to be part of boynton
[23:05] beach city.
[23:07] Thank you.
[23:09] >> thank you.
[23:11] First I would urge the
[23:14] commission first to look at the
[23:16] sign ordinance that concerning
[23:19] the deposit during elections.
[23:21] City attorney can correct me if
[23:23] I'm wrong I think it only covers
[23:26] people running for the city
[23:26] commission.
[23:29] As you can see we've been in
[23:34] inundated with signs.
[23:37] So maybe take a re-look at that.
[23:40] The other thing was the dog and
[23:44] pony show at the AUGUST 11th
[23:45] meeting.
[23:47] Orchestrated but written,
[23:49] produced and directed by her.
[23:51] She arranged with some of the
[23:54] residents of golf view harbor.
[23:57] While at that meeting she voted
[24:00] and supported for the location
[24:03] of the police training facility.
[24:08] Then proceeded to give a
[24:09] half-baked MAY
[24:09] ea culpa.
[24:13] By arranging this the district 1
[24:15] commissioner and left the rest
[24:17] of the commission flapping in
[24:19] the wind.
[24:23] At the commission meeting on the
[24:26] AUGUST 11th voted to halt the
[24:30] study which she again had voted
[24:31] for.
[24:33] What was additionally troubling
[24:34] was silence.
[24:36] She encouraged from the
[24:40] residents of glf.
[24:42] The issue has been resolved but
[24:45] the orchestration continued.
[24:46] With inaccurate comments about
[24:49] the city staff and the city
[24:52] manager which was uncalled-for.
[24:54] It's my opinion that the
[24:59] district 1 commissioner owes a
[25:01] public apology.
[25:03] >> I would like to make a
[25:06] comment, mayor.
[25:09] >> good evening.
[25:11] Harry woot worth.
[25:14] Resident of boynton beach for 40
[25:14] years.
[25:19] Just a few comments.
[25:22] I know you guys are working on
[25:25] the short-term rental noise
[25:26] ordinance.
[25:28] This is a big deal.
[25:31] Everybody loves this thing.
[25:33] I don't see how we can't win on
[25:34] this.
[25:36] I did some more digging.
[25:38] There's a lot more on this.
[25:41] The five things you guys need
[25:43] for a license in boynton beach
[25:46] state vacation rental license,
[25:50] sales tax you have to set up.
[25:52] Which air
[25:54] irBnb.
[25:58] The palm beach tax license.
[26:01] Finally the business tax
[26:01] receipt.
[26:02] Those seem pretty clear.
[26:05] You can go to databases that
[26:06] list all of these.
[26:08] Starting with the fact that
[26:11] there are supposed 6,000
[26:13] short-term rentals in boynton
[26:16] beach which use is the post
[26:17] office definition of boynton
[26:18] beach.
[26:20] So the real number is not off.
[26:26] If you do a zip code search you
[26:30] come up with the numbers of the
[26:33] hundreds.
[26:37] One next wasn't listed.
[26:39] There were three listed one.
[26:41] These databases don't match at
[26:43] you will.
[26:47] My question is there a one

[27:12] noise with the host.
[27:13] Research florida statutes.
[27:15] It's perfectly to request that

[27:29] Put somebody in charge of it.
[27:32] There are application that will
[27:35] merge those databases once a
[27:35] month.

[27:40] don't match.
[27:42] Somebody could follow up on
[27:43] that.
[27:45] Everybody I just talked about
[27:49] took me less than a hour nafr.
[27:52] >> in response to --
[27:57] >> let's check online and check.
[27:59] This is somebody online.
[28:03] So we have gabriel appearing for
[28:09] public comment.
[28:13] >> gabriel m
[28:19] isha gi good evening
[28:20] mayor and others.
[28:22] I'm the general for that I
[28:24] pioneer boat
[28:25] ramp.
[28:28] During conditions under the
[28:29] raised signify
[28:30] icant concerns
[28:32] about the constructability.
[28:34] Requested and continued forward
[28:36] in response with the direction
[28:37] being prettied.
[28:39] Throughout the process we
[28:40] committed substantial labor
[28:42] equipment and resources.
[28:47] Months later the work remains
[28:48] incomplete.
[28:50] And we have not been paid for
[28:52] these unresolved matters.
[28:55] We want to complete the pioneer
[28:57] canal park project.
[29:01] To move forward we are seeking
[29:03] that addresses the actual field
[29:05] conditions and provides a
[29:06] constructible path to
[29:07] completion.
[29:09] These concerns aren't recent.
[29:12] They're documented over months
[29:13] through the written
[29:14] communications.
[29:15] The direction provided and the
[29:18] record of the work performed.
[29:20] This commission has received
[29:23] notice regarding these matters.
[29:25] We respectfully ask the
[29:26] commission to review that record
[29:31] and bring these outstanding
[29:32] matters up.
[29:34] And it's intent to serve the
[29:35] residents of boynton beach for
[29:37] years to come.
[29:39] The public deserves a completed
[29:41] facility that is durable,
[29:46] functional and worthy of the
[29:46] investment.
[29:48] We ask that the substantial work
[29:51] be addressed that a clear path
[29:53] to be established so the
[30:01] remaining work can proceed.
[30:05] Our goal is to complete pioneer
[30:06] park.
[30:07] >> first of all those comments
[30:10] are uncalled and disrespectful.
[30:11] I will never apologize for doing
[30:14] my job with my constituents.
[30:16] I'm happy until the last day I'm
[30:17] in office.
[30:18] Thank you very much.
[30:20] I did my homework.
[30:24] I connected with our legal
[30:26] department to get full title
[30:29] search which I thought was
[30:30] important and necessary to get
[30:33] meeting with the public so I
[30:34] could have the answers and do
[30:39] the due diligence required to be
[30:42] able to answer in front of a 100
[30:42] people.
[30:44] That meeting was organized by
[30:47] the residents of golf view
[30:50] harbor and not by the city of
[30:50] boynton beach.
[30:53] In addition to that MR. Katz I
[30:55] don't necessarily.
[30:57] We don't address the public.
[30:59] >> we don't do that.
[31:01] >> you know being up here.
[31:04] But we do have the protocol we
[31:07] don't want to address the
[31:07] public.
[31:09] We're not going to do that.
[31:12] If it's on the agenda for the
[31:13] 16th.
[31:15] Everybody can talk about it on
[31:16] the 16th.
[31:18] I don't think to call out a
[31:21] constituent that's what we get.
[31:24] The people are upset.
[31:26] >> I will not apologize for
[31:27] doing my job.
[31:28] >> thank you.

[46:12] so
[46:15] so we can host a esports lab
[46:18] there.
[46:20] Which we're hoping will be here

[46:36] department.
[46:38] We are planning to open up a

[46:45] encompass
[46:47] with the boynton beach high
[46:50] school our nautical program and
[46:53] we have an esports teacher.
[46:55] We're bring to provide an
[46:58] additional activity for the kids

[47:09] Our esports is labeled the best
[47:13] team which is boynton e
[47:14] esports

[47:16] This will be an additional
[47:17] opportunity for kids.
[47:24] Not only we're going to be able
[47:26] to learn additional skills.
[47:28] So this will be a great
[47:31] opportunity for city of boynton.

[48:59] we're spending $8 million you
[49:02] know I like at least for the
[49:04] public records what are we
[49:05] getting for $8 million.
[49:08] I don't want to vote on
[49:10] something without the public
[49:12] knowing what I voted on
[49:14] something for $8 million.
[49:17] >> so part of the budgeting
[49:19] process this year one of the
[49:22] policies the reason I was hired
[49:23] to preserve cash.
[49:25] Cash is king.
[49:28] That became more intense with
[49:31] the vote heading for us NOVEMBER
[49:35] 3rd.
[49:38] >> how we spend our money and
[49:39] how we spend our cash.
