[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

[27:08] There's a way to move to the

[27:12] noise with the host.

[27:13] Research florida statutes.

[27:15] It's perfectly to request that

[27:17] and other cities do.

[27:20] That would be make looking this

[27:25] stuff infinitely easier for us.

[27:27] Have that database.

[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.

[27:39] Tell you errata on the ones that

[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.

[46:06] But the majority of this

[46:08] increase is upgrading the

[46:11] internet to carolyn sims center

[46:12] so

[46:15] so we can host a esports lab

[46:18] there.

[46:20] Which we're hoping will be here

[46:26] in the fall.

[46:30] >> thank you.

[46:36] department.

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

[46:45] This esports lab will in

[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

[47:01] in the carolyn sims area.

[47:05] We'll start with legos over

[47:06] robotics.

[47:09] Our esports is labeled the best

[47:13] team which is boynton e

[47:14] esports

[47:15] team.

[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.

[47:35] Plus I don't think we have any

[48:57] The reason I pulled this anytime

[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.
