The Board agreed to become more active and form the tools to help manage the land. The Board had recently voted on 2 items that provided mitigation money and wanted to be sure the money was spent appropriately. Ms. Fosman provided a brief update on the money that would be provided to the City. Mr. Bass gave a history of what happened to the Land Manager due to budget cuts.

Mr. Alley said the Board needs to be *more than reactionary, look to political advocacy for city funds and try to do something proactive such as recommend what the city should do with the funds. Mr. Kolstad noted that, as an advisory board, they could advise on resolutions and present a set of priorities.

Ms. Hofmann said the City is in a good mode now for this type of presentation with new Council members and could assist in making a sharp move to help Staff and Council manage this. Ms. King said it would be very important to know how much money is there, what is planned and perhaps go before Council and present. Ms. Fosman suggested sending a representative to Goal Settings which was coming up in early May. Mr. Bass agreed and said that all this needs to be presented to Council. Mr. Bass went on to note that most communities benefit from prescribed fire and that would be the best impact on environmentally sensitive lands. Ms. Fosman said she was trying to ease Chief Wood into this as he is not very supportive of prescribed fires. Ms. Fosman said that they could contract with the Department of Forestry. Mr. Bass also suggested presenting to the Greater Beach and Parks District as they might have money in their budget to assist. Mr. Bass and Ms. Fosman suggested thanking Council for their past support, providing a brief history and then a request as to what to do to move forward and provide a brief power point as well.

EAB 2 April l7, 2014

Mr. Alley said he would go to Goal Setting on May 1, 2014. Ms. King said she couldn't attend but would review the budget information and provide suggestions.

ACTION: INFORMATION ONLY

Financial Advisory Board 01/20/15 Page 2

Dan Grippo gave a PowerPoint presentation. He said that their user fees are for (1) Solid Waste Collection Service Fees, (2) Stormwater Utility Fee, and (3) Cost Recovery Fees. He said that Solid Waste Collection Fees are evaluated on an annual basis during the budget process. For the budget, they analyze the Sanitation Fund Balance with future expenses and liabilities. Municipal Services maintain Franchise Agreements and currently there are 9 active Franchise agreements (C&D Franchises) totaling $300K average annual revenue. Currently there are 4 active Franchise agreements (Commercial Solid Waste Collection Franchises) totaling $600K average annual revenue. For Stormwater Utility Fees, he explained that rates are automatically adjusted each year by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) in accordance with Section 17-230 City Code of Ordinances. He explained that Cost Recovery Fees are charges for staff time for reviews, basic materials, etc. for projects or items such as Public Works Reviews, Construction Inspections, Valet Parking Plan Reviews, Drainage, Traffic or Transportation Study Reviews, and Sidewalk repairs. Mr. Parks gave a PowerPoint presentation. He said that user fees are structured to keep the bulk of services provided within the economic reach of the vast majority of residents.

Mr. Parks said that Recreation Services Department’s policy for non-enterprise fund activities is balanced by an appropriate ratio of user fee revenue and non-user fee revenue. For non-profit community service organizations, the Recreation Services Department is only reimbursed for expenses it incurs in excess of its base level of services.

Following breakfast, the Board began their tour.

SAND PINE PARK (two small crumb rubber artificial turf rectangular fields installed in June 2010) Mr. Gomez spoke about the different types of infill used on artificial turf, those being crumb rubber and organic. While crumb rubber is less expensive, organic is generally regarded as providing a surface that most resembles grass. The organic also eliminates health concerns (justified or not) associated with crumb rubber, and it is at least 30 degrees cooler.

Mr. Parks indicated that many varieties of artificial turf are FIFA approved and that G-MAX testing provides an objective comparison of artificial turf and grass.

FLORIDA ATLANTIC UNIVERSITY (one small crumb rubber artificial turf rectangular field installed prior to Sand Pine Park) Mr. Gomez advised the Board that this field was not the “top of the line” product on the market at the time it was purchased and installed. Additionally, it does not appear to be well maintained, ranking below the fields at Sand Pine Park and Boca Raton High School.

BOCA RATON HIGH SCHOOL (crumb rubber artificial turf rectangular field) Mr. Gomez told the Board that the original field was installed in 2009 and recently replaced at the vendor’s expense due to problems with the white lines. Many Board members commented on the texture, infill and attractiveness at the new field. All agreed that this was the best of the 3 fields that were seen.

HILLSBORO EL RIO PARK The Board toured the undeveloped, south side of the park. Mr. Gomez and Mr. Stevens spoke regarding efforts to remove debris from the site and the anticipated demand for parks due to new residential construction downtown. It was noted that no athletic fields are planned for the south side. The Board asked that the most recent approved Master Plan for Hillsboro/El Rio Park be placed on the Agenda for the February 3, 2015 regular meeting.

SOUTH BEACH PAVILION Mr. Stevens pointed out the new roofs and the recently re-painted bars located along the benches.

Mr. Varney advised the Board that during a rainstorm, sand and water cascade down inclines on the north and south side of Ocean Rescue’s storage building, resulting in the driveway adjacent to the storage building being flooded. Water also drains into the driveway from the south and the east. Staff is waiting on a Work Order from our contract Engineers for a design that will alleviate flooding of the driveway.

Mr. Gomez and Mr. Stevens told the Board of challenges the Recreation Services Department is facing in replacing beach tractors. These units are used to keep the beaches clean. They also spoke of the advantage of replacing asphalt walkways with concrete.

Mr. Parks spoke briefly regarding an innovative design and construction process (job order contract) that is being used on the restroom renovation project at Silver Palm Park. He explained that once the project is complete, the process will be evaluated, along with the time and quality of the end product, for a decision as to the preferred method to use for renovations of the restroom at the Pavilion.

PATCH REEF PARK Despite intermittent rain and dark sky on the horizon, the Board pressed on.

Mr. Gomez led a discussion pertaining to the hours of use that grass fields can endure per year. He concluded the discussion by emphasizing the benefits of replacing the grass fields at Patch Reef Park with artificial turf. He went on to say that, with the capable assistance of a consultant, the Beach and Park District is considering the benefits and drawbacks of each, noting that the District has scheduled a meeting for February 2nd to seek input from the groups that use the athletic fields. Also discussed was the impact of deHoernle Park on field usage in Patch Reef Park, a report provided by Dr. Busey regarding turf maintenance practices and a decision to delay any laser grading of the Patch Reef Park fields until a decision is made to either re-sod with Celebration turf or to replace the existing grass with artificial turf.

Mr. Varney led a tour of the Patch Reef Park Tennis Center. Of particular interest was the pending resurfacing of the facility’s 17 hard courts and hitting wall.

The Board returned to the Spanish River Library and Community Center and adjourned the meeting at 11:56 AM.

Park/FIND – Property Improvements REPORTS:

1. Staff Updates – Park Maintenance/Playgrounds – Duane Dougherty Mr. Dougherty explained he is a Certified Playground Inspector (CPI). He noted the playgrounds are inspected regularly. There are monthly and daily inspection sheets, and he now uses new software that he can track inspections and enter information on-line on a tablet, while in the field. He said safety is of utmost importance. Mr. Dougherty answered Board questions. He explained that there are guidelines such as how close together playground equipment can be, etc. He explained that new playground equipment is manufactured under specific standards and guidelines, even if the playground is built onsite. He answered that there is no capacity number for children allowed in a playground area.

2. Department Project Updates – B. Parks Mr. Parks said there was not much progress except with Silver Palm Park Restroom Renovations. The Notice to Proceed was issued. The contractor has been sending drawings for approval. Dr. Frisch asked about an issue with the pumps at Gumbo Limbo, and Mr. Parks said there was an electrical outage from the FPL feed to the Center. Human error, not the pumping system, caused a loss of some fish. He went on and explained the new pumps, recently installed, have achieved the desired outcome of more oxygen in the water. He cautioned that this upgrade is not the final solution.

3. Parks & Recreation Monthly Report – J. Varney

Mr. Varney said that participation for the first quarter of the fiscal year at the Gumbo Limbo Environmental Complex has risen every year for the past four years. He also commented on improving participation figures at the beachfront parks. Mr. Betters asked why the decline in participation for FY 2014-15 for both libraries. Mr. Parks said it may have to do with the method of counting. He said he would provide an explanation at the next meeting. Mr. Gomez reminded everyone that the libraries now have more evening hours. A discussion ensued about participation and permit sales at the tennis centers. Mr. Varney advised the Board that tennis center participation figures include both permit holders and non-permit holders. NEW BUSINESS: There was no new business. OLD BUSINESS: 1. Hillsboro/El Rio Park – South Side Development (Post P&R Board Tour Discussion) The Board Members were impressed with the site. They expressed that this park will be very well used. Mr. Kreh asked about any soil issue and/or percolation of the soil in Hillsboro/El Rio Park-South Side. Mr. Parks said it was an environmental issue and he will speak with Mo Morel (City Engineer). He will let the Board know what he finds out at the next meeting. Mr. Parks answered Mr. Good that the wetlands would be designated as such and be preserved. They discussed a crossover which was a previous stumbling block for this property. A comment was made that this would also be a good area for another dog park. 2. Other Comments from Tour Concerning artificial turf, Mr. Gomez said he saw the field in Weston made of corn husk and coconut and offered to take Board Members to Weston to see the field. Mr. Gomez spoke about the Bark Beach. He reported that 875 resident and 8 non-resident total permits were sold for FY 2014/15. STAFF COMMENTS: 1. Employees of the Quarter – Fourth Quarter 2014 Mr. Varney spoke about the Motivation/Positive Attitude Leadership Award for Tyler Gray. He said that a group reserved the Field House for a dance for children with special needs. The DJ that was hired got into a car accident and was not able to make the dance. Tyler brought out the Sugar Sand Field House’s sound system and downloaded Pandora which allowed them to play music of their choice. Everyone was very happy. Tyler is very motivated and excels with customer service and deserves the award for motivation/positive attitude. Mr. Parks spoke about the Innovation Leadership Award for Jessica Bradbury. Recently, Jessica took over the major responsibility of coordinating the characters for our October “Halloween In the Hammock” event. She recruited volunteers for this event and wrote new and edited existing scripts for the characters. She also proposed a new theme for the event (Invasive Species) and associated characters. Jessica’s innovation was a large part of the success of the event. She deserves the award for innovation. Mr. Parks spoke about the Communication Leadership Award for Kristin Child. Kristen has taken on many additional duties including the coordination of Gumbo Limbo’s Annual Halloween in the Hammock Event and the new Halloween in the Garden event. Two highly successful events this year were due to Kristin’s superstar communication skills. She deserves the award for communication. Mr. Parks spoke about the Commitment Leadership Award for Jose Pineda. Jose works incredibly hard and puts in long hours. On Snow Day, he was the first person at work to meet the ice vendor for making the snow. He worked the entire event. He was the last to leave after clearing all tables, tents, securing fencing, washing down snow, and locking up the building. He is always dependable and deserves winning the award for commitment.

P & R Meeting 02-03-15 Page 3 of 3

Mr. Parks spoke about the Teamwork Leadership Award for Joe Morgan, Bernice Luzincourt and Yolanda Smith. All three were willing to help out another facility when there was a staff shortage. They worked at Sugar Sand Park’s Carousel and other areas in the park. Their teamwork allows them to stretch their limits and help carry the load. They deserve this award for teamwork. 2. Director’s Report Mr. Gomez spoke about non-resident fees as they pertain to youth sports. For registration period FY 2013-14, 35% of 7,050 participants were non-residents, based upon total registrations. Mr. Gomez answered Dr. Frisch that the Recreation Services Department does not collect non-resident fees from High 5 and TOPSoccer. Mr. Kreh suggested adding COBRA’s (City of Boca Raton Athletics’s) numbers in and Mr. Gomez said he would have that for the next meeting. Mr. Gomez said the Recreation Services Department collected $82,450 in revenue, while there is $10,110 in uncollected revenue. The uncollected revenue is being pursued. Dr. Frisch asked about Pop Warner Football and why so many were non-resident members. Mr. Gomez will check this out and report back at the next meeting. Mr. Varney provided an update to a discussion at a previous meeting regarding the need to replace the Meadows Park Pool. At the prior meeting, two parents of Mantas Swim Team participants expressed an interest in replacing the Meadows Park Pool with a pool at which the Mantas can hold meets. Mr. Varney told the Board that he recently met with both parents. He said he told them of recent renovation work at the Meadows Park Pool and of how the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) works. He said that a new City pool will be submitted for consideration in the Long-Term Outlook portion of the CIP. Mr. Gomez showed the Board samples of organic infill. He also brought a sample of Matrix Turf. He explained the steps that the City of Weston is taking in replacing grass fields with artificial turf. Discussion ensued about the questionable link between cancer and the crumb rubber that is used on some artificial turf fields. 3. Various Letters of Commendation

Self-explanatory.
