THANK YOU CAN I HAVE THE ROLL CALL PLEASE. MAYOR MARCIANO. HERE. VICE MAYOR LITT. COUNCIL MEMBER MARINO COUNCIL COUNCIL MEMBER WOODS. COUNCIL MEMBER LANE. HERE. THANK YOU ARE THERE ANY ADDITIONS DELETIONS OR MODIFICATIONS. NO SIR. ALL RIGHT WELL WE HAVE A COUPLE OF 
          [Item IV]
ANNOUNCEMENTS AND PRESENTATIONS. WE'RE GONNA GET RIGHT TO IT. WE'LL START WITH THE I-95 CENTRAL BOULEVARD INTERCHANGE PROJECT. CAN I HAVE THE REPRESENTATIVES FROM FDOT. CAN YOU COME TO THE PODIUM AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD IF YOU COULD. GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. MY NAME IS [INAUDIBLE] I'M THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION PROJECT MANAGER FOR THIS PROJECT. GOOD EVENING MY NAME IS DOUG [INAUDIBLE] WITH THE CONSULTING FIRM RS&H FORMERLY REYNOLDS SMITH AND HILLS AND I SERVE AS THE FINAL DESIGN PROJECT MANAGER. THANK YOU. DO YOU HAVE A PRESENTATION FOR US. YES. WE'LL START PRESENTATION RIGHT OF WAY. 
          THIS IS THE ONE RIGHT BEFORE OUR PUBLIC MEETING. I THINK IT WILL BE SET UP IN THE SAME ROOM NUMBER 14. OK. OK. SO FIRST OF ALL THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR GIVING US THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT THIS PROJECT. THIS PROJECT IS NOW IN FINAL DESIGN. IT WAS UNDER THE P&D STUDY THAT WAS APPROVED BACK IN NOVEMBER OF 2016 BY FHWA OF WHICH THEN THAT'S WHEN THE LOCATION DESIGN CONCEPT ACCEPTANCE WAS ISSUED BY THE FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION. SO JUST TO GIVE AN OVERVIEW OF THE PROJECT THE PROJECT EXTENDS FOR APPROXIMATELY 2.8 MILES ALONG ON 95 BEGINNING JUST NORTH OF MILITARY TRAIL AND EXTENDING TO SOUTH OF DONALD ROSS ROAD. THERE'LL ALSO BE IMPROVEMENTS ALONG CENTRAL BOULEVARD EXTENDING FOR APPROXIMATELY A QUARTER MILE TO THE WEST AND A QUARTER MILE TO THE EAST OF I 95 WITH A NEW DIAMOND INTERCHANGE AT THE INTERSECTION OF 95 AND CENTRAL BOULEVARD. OTHER OVERVIEW ITEMS AND MENTIONED THE DIAMOND INTERCHANGE ALONG ON 95 BETWEEN THE PROJECT ALONG THE PROJECT LIMITS BETWEEN MILITARY AND DONALD ROSS ROAD. THE MAIN LINE OF I 95 THE EXISTING PAYMENT WILL BE MILLED AND RESURFACED BETWEEN MILITARY TRAIL AND CENTRAL BOULEVARD. THERE WILL BE PARALLEL PARALLEL COLLECTOR DISTRIBUTOR ROADWAYS ALONG THE EAST SIDE AND WEST SIDES OF 95 ESSENTIALLY TO ACCOMMODATE THE WEAVING MOVEMENTS BETWEEN THOSE TWO INTERCHANGE IT'S ACTUALLY AKING THOSE WEAVING MOVEMENTS OFF OF THE MAIN LINE TO IMPROVE TRAFFIC OPERATIONS THERE'LL BE NEW DRAINAGE NEW RETAINING WALLS NOISE WALLS SIGNING A PAYMENT MARKING SIGNALIZATION LIGHTING AND INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS FEATURES INCLUDING CAMERAS AND DYNAMIC MESSAGE SIGNS. CENTRAL BOULEVARD BRIDGE WHICH IS OWNED AND MAINTAINED BY DOTY WILL BE WIDENED TO BOTH THE NORTH AND SOUTH SIDES APPROXIMATELY 21 FEET ON THE NORTH SIDE AND 18 FEET ON THE SOUTH SIDE ALONG BOTH SIDES OF CENTRAL BOULEVARD. THERE WILL BE 10 FOOT WIDE SIDEWALKS THAT ESSENTIALLY WILL BE WILL SERVE AS SHARED USE PATHS FOR BOTH PEDESTRIANS AND BICYCLISTS AND WILL ALSO BE A SEVEN FOOT WIDE BUFFER DESIGNATED BICYCLE LANES ON BOTH SIDES OF CENTRAL BOULEVARD. WANT TO MAKE MENTION THAT CENTRAL BOULEVARD IS AN OFF SYSTEM FACILITY THAT'S ONLY MAINTAINED BY PALM BEACH COUNTY. WE'VE HAD NUMEROUS MEETINGS WITH THE COUNTY BOTH DURING THE PD&E PROCESS AND VERY FINAL DESIGN ESSENTIALLY TO FINALIZE THE TYPICAL SECTIONS THE ROADWAY TYPICAL SECTIONS AND THE BRIDGE TYPICAL SECTIONS ALONG ALONG CENTRAL BOULEVARD AND AS A FUTURE STANDALONE PROJECT WE'LL INCLUDE LANDSCAPING THAT WON'T BE UNDER THIS CONTRACT BUT A SEPARATE SEPARATE STANDALONE CONTRACT SOME OF THE PROJECT OBJECTIVES ELEVEN THAT I HAVE LISTED HERE IS TO OPTIMIZE MOBILITY IMPROVE TRAFFIC OPERATIONS NOT NECESSARILY IMPROVE CAPACITY BECAUSE WE'RE MAINTAINING THE SAME NUMBER OF EXISTING LANES THE SAME NUMBER OF GENERAL PURPOSE LANES ALONG 95. 
          I BELIEVE THERE'S AN HOV LANE IN EACH DIRECTION AS WELL AS 4 GENERAL PURPOSE LANES SO THE WIDENING WILL ESSENTIALLY ACCOMMODATE THE AUXILIARY LANES TO SERVE THE INTERCHANGES MILITARY TRAIL CENTRAL BOULEVARD AND DONALD ROSS ROAD. WE WILL BE ACCOMMODATING THE FUTURE TRAFFIC NEEDS IN THE AREA ENHANCE PUBLIC SAFETY AND FOR MOTORS PEDESTRIANS AND BICYCLISTS ALSO LOOKED FOR WAYS TO MINIMIZE REDUCE THE RIGHT OF WAY IMPACTS THAT WERE INITIALLY IDENTIFIED IN THE PD&E. ONE THING I WANT TO MENTION IS DURING THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PD&E THE DRAINAGE ANALYSIS THAT WAS DONE DURING THAT PHASE OF THE PROJECT IT WASN'T WELL-DEFINED WE WENT AHEAD AND ADVANCED 
          [00:05:05]
THE DESIGNS ADVANCED THE FINAL DESIGN WE REFINED THE DRAINAGE TO PROVIDE A MORE DETAILED DESIGN AS WELL AS TO ADDRESS THE RUNAWAY NEEDS FOR THE PROJECT. THERE WILL BE NOISE WALLS FOR THE PROJECTS TWO LOCATIONS SPECIFICALLY ALONG MILITARY TRAIL ALONG THE SOUTH SIDE TO PROVIDE NOISE ABATEMENT FOR THE WINCHESTER COURTS COMMUNITY AND ALSO ALONG I 95 ALONG THE EAST SIDE OF I 95 SOUTH OF CENTRAL BOULEVARD TO PROVIDE NOISE MITIGATION FOR THE QUAYE APARTMENTS COMMUNITY A FEW OTHERS ACCOMMODATE ADJACENT LAND USES IMPROVE EMERGENCY RESPONSE TIMES TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL EVACUATION ROUTE AND ALSO TO ENHANCE THE TRANSPORTATION NETWORK AND ACTIVITY IN THE AREA. THE CURRENT PROJECT SCHEDULE A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO WE  HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT THE PROJECT TO THE TPA GOVERNING BOARD NOVEMBER 14TH AS BEEN MENTIONED WE WILL BE HAVING A PUBLIC INFORMATION WORKSHOP THAT WILL BE HELD HERE IN THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS WE HAVE A 90 PERCENT SUBMITTAL IT'S ALSO KNOWN AS THE CONSTRUCTABILITY SUBMITTAL SCHEDULED FOR APRIL OF 2020 SHOULD PUBLIC SHOULD FINANCING FUNDING BECOME AVAILABLE SOONER. WE'RE LOOKING TO ADVANCE THE PROJECT THAT BEING THAT WE HAVE A PRODUCTION DATE SCHEDULED FOR OCTOBER OF 2021 AND ADVANCED PLANS LETTING SCHEDULE FOR JULY OF 2023 WITH A THREE YEAR CONSTRUCTION DURATION ESTIMATE WITH CONSTRUCTION BEGINNING IN THE SPRING OF 2025 AND ENDING IN 2028 THE NEXT SLIDES ARE AN OVERVIEW OF THE PROJECT EXTENDING FROM MILITARY TO DON ROSS AND ALSO ALONG CENTRAL BOULEVARD. SO YOU SEE SHADED IN IN BLUE THAT REPRESENTS THE PROPOSED PAVEMENT MILLING OR RESURFACING AND WHAT'S REFLECTED IN RED WILL BE NEW CONSTRUCTION AND ROADWAY WIDENING. SO THIS EXHIBIT EXTENDS FROM MILITARY TRAIL TO CENTRAL BOULEVARD THE SLIDE PROVIDES THE LIMITS FROM CENTRAL BOULEVARD TO HOOD ROAD. IN THIS AREA YOU COULD SEE THE PROPOSED DIAMOND INTERCHANGE PERMITS AT THE INTERSECTION OF CENTRAL AND 95 THIS EXHIBIT ILLUSTRATES THE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS BETWEEN HOOD ROAD AND DONALD ROSS ROAD AND THIS IS THE INTERSECTION OF CENTRAL BOULEVARD ON 95 SHOWING THE PROPOSED TYPE DIAMOND INTERCHANGE. SURE THE NEXT SEVEN SLIDES REFLECT THE PROPOSED TYPICAL SECTIONS BOTH ALONG 95 AND CENTRAL BOULEVARD. THIS IS THE PROPOSED ROADWAY TYPICAL SECTION THAT EXTENDS FROM MILITARY TRAIL TO CENTRAL BOULEVARD ILLUSTRATING THE PARALLEL CD ROADS. THE COLLECTOR DISTRIBUTOR ROADWAYS ALONG BOTH THE EAST SIDES AND WEST SIDES ABOUT 95 THIS IS A TYPICAL SECTION BENEATH CENTRAL BOULEVARD. THIS IS A TYPICAL SECTION ALONG ON 95 BETWEEN CENTRAL BOULEVARD AND DONALD ROSS ROAD AND YOU'LL NOTICE ON THE OUTSIDE OF EACH BOTH NORTHBOUND AND SOUTHBOUND DIRECTIONS WE'RE PROVIDING AUXILIARY LANES AND THOSE AUXILIARY LANES ARE INTENDED TO ACCOMMODATE THE ADJACENT INTERCHANGES. 
          BOTH CENTRAL BOULEVARD AND DONALD ROSS ROAD SO WE'RE STILL MAINTAINING THE ONE HOV LANE IN EACH DIRECTION AND 4 GENERAL PURPOSE LANES IN EACH DIRECTION. THE TYPICAL SECTION BENEATH HOOD ROAD THIS TYPICAL SECTION ACCOMMODATES BOTH THE EXISTING HOOD ROAD BRIDGE AND THE RECENTLY COMPLETED HOOD ROAD BRIDGE WITH PROVISIONS FOR A FUTURE EXPRESS LANES WITHIN THE MEDIAN THESE NEXT TWO SLIDES ARE FOR CENTRAL BOULEVARD. THIS IS CENTRAL BOULEVARD WEST OF I 95. THIS IS LOOKING IN THE EAST DIRECTION WE'RE PROVIDING 11 FOOT LANES FOR BOTH THE TURN LANES AND THE THREE LANES SO THE TWO LEFT TURN LANES ARE. THIS IS FOR EASTBOUND TO NORTHBOUND ACCESS ONTO THE ON 95. AS I MENTIONED BEFORE WE'RE PROVIDING 7 FOOT BUFFERED DESIGNATED BIKE LANES IN EACH DIRECTION AS WELL AS THE 10 FOOT WIDE CONCRETE SIDEWALK THAT WILL SERVE AS A SHARED USE PATH. THIS IS THE PROPOSED TIP OF THE SECTION ALONG 
          [00:10:04]
CENTRAL BOULEVARD EAST OF I 95. LOOKING IN THE EAST DIRECTION IT'S A MIRROR IMAGE OF WHAT'S BEING PROPOSED WEST OF I 95. WITH THE SAME IMPROVEMENTS AND THE LAST SLIDE THAT I HAVE IS FOR THE PROPOSED TYPICAL SECTION ALONG THE CENTRAL BOULEVARD BRIDGE AS I MENTIONED BEFORE THE NORTH SIDE WIDENING TO THE LEFT IS APPROXIMATELY 21 FEET AND THE WIDENING ON THE SOUTH SIDE IS APPROXIMATELY 18 FEET WHERE WE ARE PROVIDING ON THE OUTSIDE EIGHT FOOT FOUR INCH SHOULDERS THAT WILL BE SHARED BETWEEN MOTORS AND BICYCLISTS AS WELL AS THE 10 FOOT WIDE SIDEWALK ALONG THE OUTSIDE THAT WILL SERVE BOTH BICYCLISTS AND PEDESTRIANS WITH A 10 FOOT HIGH FENCE ALONG THE OUTSIDE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BRIDGE AND THERE WILL BE A CONCRETE RAILING THAT WILL SEPARATE VEHICULAR TRAFFIC FROM PEDESTRIAN BICYCLE TRAFFIC AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION. WELL THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR COMING I KNOW THIS IS GOING TO BE AN INTERESTING TOPIC FOR OUR CITY AND FOR THE REGION. I KNOW OUR STAFF HAS A COMMENT OR A QUESTION NATALIE IF YOU'D LIKE TO ASK FIRST AND THEN WE'LL COME BACK TO COUNCIL. THANK YOU MR. MAYOR. WE THANK THE DOT FOR BEING HERE THIS EVENING AND CONTINUING TO WORK WITH WORK WITH THE CITY AND PROVIDE INFORMATION AS IT'S DEVELOPED. WE'VE BEEN TRACKING THIS PROJECT VERY CAREFULLY AND THE DOT DID REACH OUT TO STAFF QUITE EARLY IN THIS PROJECT AND SO WE'VE BEEN TRACKING IT. THIS PROJECT HAS LONG BEEN ON THE THE COUNTY'S LONG RANGE THOROUGHFARE PLAN. 
          IT'S BEEN DESIGNATED AS AN INTERCHANGE FOR DECADES AND BECAUSE OF THAT THE CITY AND THE CITY COUNCIL THROUGH ITS POLICY HAS PROACTIVELY DEDICATED THE REQUIRED RIGHT OF WAY THAT'S NECESSARY FOR AN INTERCHANGE AND SPECIFICALLY A TIGHT DIAMOND INTERCHANGE HAS REALLY BEEN THE THE TYPE OF INTERCHANGE THAT HAS BEEN DESIGNATED SO IT IS VERY FORTUNATE THROUGH THIS PROACTIVE THROUGH THESE PROACTIVE MEASURES THAT A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE RIGHT OF WAY EXISTS TODAY TO BE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE THE INTERCHANGE AND WAS DEDICATED THROUGH THE PLATS FOR REALLY ALL QUADRANTS SO THAT THE QUAYE AND OLD PALM PRIMARILY AND A BIG PORTION OF THAT IS IT HAS ALREADY BEEN CONVEYED TO THE COUNTY ACTUALLY REALLY. AND THIS PRESENTATION WAS WAS MADE TO THE TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE RECENTLY AS WELL. AND REALLY IT'S THE SAME COMMENTS. THE THE THE MOST SIGNIFICANT IMPACT AT THIS POINT TO THE RESIDENTS FOR THIS IS THE IMPACT ON THAT NORTHEAST QUADRANT WHERE THE PROPOSED RAMP GOING NORTHBOUND VIRTUALLY ELIMINATES THE ENTIRE LANDSCAPE BUFFER OF THE NEWLY CONSTRUCTED CENTRAL GARDENS APARTMENTS. SO THE PROPOSED PROJECT DUE TO A TIMING PROVISION AS EXPLAINED BY DOT STAFF IS NOT POSSIBLE TO HAVE A WALL. EVEN THOUGH THERE'S OTHER PORTIONS OF THE PROJECT THAT INCLUDE A WALL AND THAT IS A STRONG COMMENT THAT STAFF HAS HAS MENTIONED FROM REALLY FROM THE BEGINNING THERE'S SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS TO THE PARKWAY AND THE ADJACENT PRESERVE AND THERE IS NO WALL PROPOSED. SO YOU KNOW OVERALL WELL WE REALLY DO APPRECIATE STAFF REALLY APPRECIATES THE OUTREACH AND THE INFORMATION AND THE CONTINUED INFORMATION. BUT WE REALLY WOULD LIKE TO WORK WITH DOT AND WE ACTUALLY WOULD LIKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK WITH YOU SPECIFICALLY ON THE TIMING BECAUSE THAT RESIDENTIAL PROJECT ACTUALLY WAS APPROVED IN 2012 AND CONSTRUCTION FOR THAT SITE ACTUALLY COMMENCED SHORTLY THEREAFTER. SO THOSE RESIDENCES ARE ACTUALLY ONE PORTION WITHIN THE PROJECT WHICH COMMENCED LONG BEFORE 2016 WHICH WAS YOUR PROJECT DATE. 
          SO WE THINK WE CAN WORK OFFLINE ON THAT DISCUSSION BECAUSE I THINK THAT IMPACTS THE TIMING AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF THAT WALL. BUT I'D LOVE TO GIVE YOU SOME PERMITS THAT HAVE BEEN ISSUED BEFORE THE PROJECT PRIOR TO THAT DATE TO BE ABLE TO SUPPORT AND STRONGLY URGE YOU ALL TO INCLUDE A WALL FOR THOSE RESIDENTS WHO ARE MOST IMPACTED BY THE PROJECT. I APPRECIATE THOSE COMMENTS NATALIE AND WE WILL WORK WITH THE CITY AND THE DEPARTMENT TO EVALUATE NOT JUST THE TIMING OF SOME OF THE EVENTS THIS WAS WHEN AS WE KNOW THE LDCA WAS ISSUED IN NOVEMBER OF 2016 AND SOME CONSTRUCTION PERMITS THAT WERE PROVIDED TO US OCCURRED SUBSEQUENT TO 
          [00:15:02]
THAT. SO IT'S ALL RIGHT IT'S A TIMING ISSUE AND I THINK IT AND WHAT I'M SAYING IS THAT CONSTRUCTION FOR THE SITE ACTUALLY STARTED WAY BEFORE THAT. BUT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN CERTAINLY COMMUNICATE AND PROVIDE TO YOU. AND SO AS WE MOVE ALONG IN THIS DISCUSSION. ON BEHALF OF THE DEPARTMENT WE WOULD LOOK FORWARD TO THOSE CONVERSATIONS. THANK YOU MARIA. YOU SAID ON THE TPA BOARD IF YOU'D LIKE TO MAKE SOME COMMENTS IF YOU HAVEN'T. ACTUALLY I AM NOW THE NEW CHAIR OF THE TPA BOARD AND SO WE APPRECIATE YOUR PRESENTATION AND I I WILL JUST  REITERATE WHAT I SAID THERE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR WORKING WITH US FOR THE [INAUDIBLE] BECAUSE I KNOW IT WAS A BIG ISSUE WITH A LOT OF OUR HOMEOWNERS BUT I DID ALSO EXPRESS MY CONCERN ABOUT NOT HAVING A WALL FOR CENTRAL GARDENS AND SOME OF THE PICTURES THAT YOU SHOWED WERE SO OLD THAT THEY SHOWED NO DEVELOPMENT ON CENTRAL GARDENS AT ALL. SO THAT WAS A LITTLE BIT OF A CONCERN FOR ME. BUT HAVING SAID THAT I THINK THE PROJECT HAS BEEN WELL THOUGHT OUT AND YOU HAVE WORKED VERY WELL WITH OUR STAFF AND WE'VE HAD A LOT OF INPUT FROM OUR COMMUNITIES AND I THINK THAT ONCE WE GET A WALL THERE FOR CENTRAL GARDENS OR SOME FORM OF MITIGATION NOISE MITIGATION BECAUSE YOU ARE RIGHT ON THEIR PARKING LOT THEN THAT'S REALLY NOT ACCEPTABLE. THE REST OF THE PROJECT FINE BUT WE NEED IT. WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY ALL SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES ARE GETTING EQUAL EQUAL NOISE BARRIERS. IT JUST SO HAPPENS AS WE WERE AS WE ADVANCE THE DESIGN THE RIGHT OF WAY IMPACTS IN THE NORTHEAST QUADRANT IS LESS THAN IT WAS IDENTIFIED IN THE PD&E AND I BELIEVE I AND PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION TO STAFF A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO TO GRAPHICALLY ILLUSTRATE THE REDUCED RIGHT OF WAY IMPACTS FOR THAT QUADRANT BUT WE'LL CERTAINLY TAKE THIS BACK TO THE DEPARTMENT AND SPEAK TO EXECUTIVE STAFF IN THE DISTRICT. WELL I'M NOT AN ENGINEER I DON'T PLAY ONE ON TV SO I WILL LET THE EXPERTS SURE MANAGE THAT BUT I DO APPRECIATE YOUR LISTENING TO OUR EXPERTS BECAUSE THEY REALLY DO HAVE THE MOST INPUT. ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU. MATTHEW. THANK YOU. I'VE GOT A FEW QUESTIONS. IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO RELIEVE TRAFFIC CONGESTION BY PGA BOULEVARD. AND IF THAT'S THE CASE WHY ARE YOU CONSIDERING PROJECTS THAT WOULD PROVIDE WORK ON THE PGA INTERCHANGE ITSELF. WE DO HAVE THAT. 
          OK. I THINK THE PUBLIC IS HEARING THE PD&E DEMONSTRATE LIKE AN ALTERNATIVE ONE IS FOR THE IMPROVED THE PGA BECAUSE IMPROVE THE PGA HAVE SEVERAL LIMITATIONS. SO AFTER ALL THE I THINK THEY START WITH THE 27 ALTERNATIVE. SO FINALLY THAT'S THE PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE RECOMMEND TO THE FHWA THAT'S APPROVED ALTERNATIVE FOR HAVE THIS TYPE [INAUDIBLE] TO CHANGE AT THE NEW LOCATION CENTRAL BLVD. I'VE GOT FOUR QUESTIONS I'LL HIT YOU WITH THE SECOND ONE BY FDOTS OWN IGR ESTIMATES DURING THE MORNING RUSH HOUR CENTRAL BOULEVARD WILL BE HANDLING AS MUCH TRAFFIC AS PGA AND MORE THAN MILITARY TRAIL. SO MY QUESTION IS WHO'S GOING TO PAY TO EXPAND CENTRAL BOULEVARD. AND WHEN WILL IT HAPPEN. 
          CENTRAL BLVD IS THE COUNTY FACILITY. SO WITHIN THIS PROJECT LIMITS. WE PROVIDE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENT THERE. AND THEN AFTER THAT THEN WE'LL SEE THE TRAFFIC WHEN THE NEW INTERCHANGE [INAUDIBLE] WILL DO THE COUNTY CAN DO THE FATHER RESEARCH TO SEE WHAT'S THE TRAFFIC FLOWS THEN MAYBE THAT TIME IS THE BETTER DEFINE THIS PROBLEM. SO WE SEE THE RESOLUTION OR MAYBE IT'S WORKING FINE ON THE TRAFFIC. OKAY MY LAST QUESTION IS THERE'S SOME CONCERN THAT THIS PROJECT IS GONNA TURN CENTRAL BOULEVARD INTO SOMETHING THAT'S AKIN TO MILITARY TRAIL A U.S. ONE AND THIS STREET BISECTS OUR COMMUNITY. SO HOW WOULD YOU RESPOND TO THE CONCERNS OF THE RESIDENTS WHO LIVE NEAR THE ROAD THAT THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN RIGHT NEAR THEIR HOMES. AND SECOND OF ALL HOW WOULD YOU ADDRESS CONCERNS ABOUT THE SAFETY TO THE CHILDREN WHO ATTEND SCHOOLS ALONG THAT QUARTER. I THINK THIS ONE WE DID PROVIDE THE [INAUDIBLE] MEMO REGARDING THE REGARDING THE SIDEWALK SO THAT'S WHY WE HAVE ABOUT 10 FOOT WIDE SIDEWALK THAN WE DID THE PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC COUNT WHICH IS NOT REACHED TO THE POINT TO CAN PROVIDE A PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE. THAT'S ONE OF THE ALTERNATIVE WAYS TO LOOK AT IT. SO AT THIS TIME BASED ON THE TRAFFIC COUNT PEDESTRIAN AND THE 
          [00:20:04]
BICYCLE TRAFFIC COME THIS IS THE PROPER SOLUTION. TEN FOOT SIDEWALK. THEN WE HAVE ALL CALLED FOUR QUADRANT HAS THE SIGNALIZED SO HAVE A PEDESTRIAN SIGNAL. SO FOR THOSE ARE IN REACH THERE THEY CAN PUSH THE SIGNAL. SO HAVE A PEDESTRIAN CROSSING SAFELY. RACELLE ANY QUESTIONS. MATTHEW YOU FINISHED. OKAY. RACHELLE. I JUST NEED A LITTLE MORE CLARIFICATION. SO WITH THIS CHOICE DOES THAT MEAN THE CHANGES THAT WERE INITIALLY PROPOSED TO THE PGA EXITS ARE NOT GOING TO PROCEED OR IS THAT PROJECTS STILL ON THE BACKBURNER FOR THE FUTURE. PGA [INAUDIBLE]. THEY DID DO FURTHER RESEARCH ON THAT TOPIC AND TO SEE WHICH IMPROVEMENT CAN WE DO ON THERE. 
          ACTUALLY I THINK WITH THE NORTHLAKE PROJECT THEY PRESENT BETTER IT'S IMPROVED THE SOUTHBOUND ON RAMP. BOTH EAST TO SOUTHBOUND ON RAMP AND THE WEST TO THE SOUTHBOUND ON RAMP. SO THAT PROJECT ACTUALLY BE ADVANCED TO THE NEW [INAUDIBLE]. SO THAT PROJECT ACTUALLY WILL BUILD BEFORE THIS PROJECT. THEY WILL EXTEND THE RAMP AND ALL THE WAY TO THE [INAUDIBLE] ROAD. SO THE TWO SOUTHBOUND ON RAMPS AT PGA WILL GET IMPROVEMENTS BEFORE THIS EVER HAPPENS. SO THAT PREVENTS SO THE BACKUP THAT'S CURRENTLY A PGA BOULEVARD. NOW THE BRIDGE IS BEING WIDENED 21 FEET ON THE NORTH SIDE AND 28 FEET. I THINK YOU SAID ON THE SOUTHSIDE. APPROXIMATELY 21 FEET ON THE NORTH SIDE AND 18 FEET ON THE SOUTH SIDE AND THAT'S PRIMARILY TO ACCOMMODATE THE NEW DUAL LEFT TURN LANES FROM CENTRAL TO ACCESS THE ENTRANCE RAMPS TO THE INTERSTATE. SO WHEN THAT WIDENING HOW FAR DOWN CENTRAL WILL THOSE NEW LANES COME IN ESSENTIALLY THE EXTRA. WITHIN A QUARTER MILE EAST AND WEST. ABOUT A QUARTER MILE EAST AND WEST OF 95. SO ARE THE SIDEWALKS AND THE BUFFERED BICYCLE LANES THOUGH THEY'RE GOING IN THE ENTIRE STRETCH OF CENTRAL FROM PGA TO DONALD ROSS OR ONLY IN THAT SECTION OF A QUARTER MILE JUST WITHIN THE LIMITS OF THE CENTRAL BOULEVARD IMPROVEMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS INTERCHANGE PROJECT. SO THAT ESSENTIALLY WILL BE TYING INTO THE EXISTING CONDITIONS WE'LL BE REDUCING THE SIDEWALK WIDTH FROM 10 FEET DOWN TO MATCH THE EXISTING WIDTH AND THEN THE BICYCLE LANES WILL ESSENTIALLY MATCH THE EXISTING SHOULDERS THAT CURRENTLY EXIST. THEY'RE GOING TO GO FROM TEN FEET DOWN TO THE TO WHAT'S THERE NOW AND THE BIKE LANE THIS IS THE SAME WAY. SO WE'LL HAVE APPROXIMATELY A HALF A MILE OF DESIGNATED BUFFER BIKE LANES ALONG CENTRAL BOULEVARD WITHIN THE INFLUENCE OF THE INTERCHANGE. MY CONCERN IS WITH THE EXTRA TRAFFIC THAT THAT SIMILAR TO TO MATT'S CONCERN THAT THE EXTRA TRAFFIC ON CENTRAL WHICH IS GOING TO HAPPEN EARLY MORNINGS AND LATE AFTERNOONS AND THAT'S WHEN THE SCHOOL BACKS UP ON TO CENTRAL AS IT IS RIGHT NOW WITHOUT THAT WIDENING GOING ALL THE WAY DOWN SOMEWHERE OUTSIDE THE LIMITS OF OUTSIDE THE LIMITS. BUT IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE FUNNELING WIDE TRAFFIC DOWN INTO WHERE IT'S NARROW ALREADY ALMOST TOO NARROW FOR WHAT BACKS UP THERE AT THIS POINT. LET ME JUST ADD TO SOME OF THE REMARKS THAT BEING HAD OFFERED EARLIER WITH THE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS AT THE PGA BOULEVARD. I'M SURE MOST OF YOU KNOW THE LANE CONFIGURATION WHERE THE FLY OVER TRAFFIC THE WESTBOUND THE SOUTHBOUND CONNECTS TO 95 AS A MERGE LANE AND THEN THE EASTBOUND TO SOUTHBOUND MOVEMENT IS THE ADD LANE. WELL WE'RE DOING WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING IS FLIPPING THOSE WHERE THE WESTBOUND THE SOUTHBOUND FLY OVER TRAFFIC WILL BE AN ADD LANE AND THE EASTBOUND THE SOUTHBOUND RAMP WILL MERGE ONTO 95 JUST NORTH OF BURNS ROAD SO ESSENTIALLY LOOKING TO IMPROVE TRAFFIC OPERATIONS ALONG THAT SECTION OF 95 BETWEEN BURNS AND PGA BLVD. SO WHEN DOES THAT START. WHEN DOES THAT PROJECT START. I REALLY NEED TO GET BACK TO YOU ON THIS. 
          [00:25:02]
I KNOW THAT ONE IS THE NEWLY APPROVED ADVANCE. I THINK IF I REMEMBER. OK. THAT'S FINE. TWO YEARS. THEY STARTED CONSTRUCTION AROUND TWO YEARS. AT ONE POINT IN TIME THESE PROJECTS WERE GOING TO BE STRUNG TOGETHER. THEY'RE GOING TO BE BASICALLY LET AT THE SAME TIME BECAUSE OF THE IMMEDIATE NEEDS OF THIS LOCATION. THE DEPARTMENT HAS STRONGLY CONSIDERING ADVANCING THIS PROJECT SEPARATE FROM THE CENTRAL GOAL OF OUR PROJECT TO ADDRESS THE IMMEDIATE NEEDS. CARL ANY QUESTIONS. I DON'T I DON'T REALLY I THINK YOU GUYS HAVE COVERED THE QUESTIONS ON CENTRAL BUT NO ONE ASKED WAS THE WALL FUNDED DURING THE INITIAL PLANNING OF THIS. FOR PGA AND OR I'M SORRY FOR I 95 AND CENTRAL BLVD WAS THE WALL FUNDED OR DISCUSSED BEING FUNDED BECAUSE NO ONE'S TALKED ABOUT THAT HERE. THE WALL FOR THE APARTMENTS. 
          RIGHT. BECAUSE RIGHT NOW THERE'S NO WALL WAS THE WALL FUNDED OR WAS THERE DISCUSSION OF THE WALL BEING FUNDED. THE TWO WALLS ARE FUNDED DURING THE PD&E PROCESS. THERE WAS A NOISE STUDY REPORT THAT WAS DEVELOPED AND DURING THE FINAL DESIGN EFFORTS WE WENT BACK AND REASSESSED THE NOISE TO JUSTIFY THE WALLS THAT HAD BEEN IDENTIFIED IN THE DURING THE PD&E STUDY. AND IT WAS THOSE TWO LOCATIONS THAT ESSENTIALLY WERE VALIDATED THAT QUALIFY FOR NOISE ABATEMENT SO YOUR YOUR YOUR SCIENTIFIC STUDY SAYS THAT THERE'S NO NEED FOR A WALL BUT THE WALL IS FUNDED. NO IT DEMONSTRATES THAT IN ORDER TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF DECIBELS FOR THOSE COMMUNITIES THAT IT SATISFIES FHWA CRITERIA FOR NOISE WALL FUNDING. BUT THERE'S NO WALL. THERE IS THERE IS GOING TO BE A WALL. TWO NEW WALLS THE WALLS. 
          THE WALLS THAT WILL BE ALONG MILITARY TRAIL THAT WILL BE SERVING WINCHESTER COURTS. THERE'S ACTUALLY TWO SEPARATE WALLS BECAUSE THERE'S A DRIVEWAY CONNECTION SO IT'LL BE ONE WALL ON EACH SIDE OF THE DRIVEWAY. I BELIEVE THEY'RE TWELVE FOOT TALL WALLS. I WASN'T GOING TO BRING UP PGA AND 95 BUT THE SOUTHBOUND RAMP FOR EASTBOUND 90 EASTBOUND PGA TO SOUTHBOUND 95 IS NOT IMPROVED. YOU'RE JUST SIMPLY EXTENDING THE LANE. I PROPOSE YEARS AGO WHEN WE WERE DEBATING THE THREE INTERCHANGES WE HAD FOR NORTHLAKE IN 95 WE HAD THE THE TWO AGGRESSIVE WE'VE ALL DEBATED IT DOWN TO THE LEAST AGGRESSIVE SAVING THE STATE OF FLORIDA A HUNDRED MILLION OR WHATEVER THE WHATEVER IT IS DURING THE DURING THE CONVERSATIONS THAT I WENT ON BEYOND JUST THE THE MEETINGS WE WENT STAFF GOT INVOLVED AND NATALIE. NATALIE PROBABLY GOT DEEPLY INVOLVED IN TRYING TO GET INVOLVED WITH THE DESIGN OF PGA AND 95 SO THE SOUTHBOUND LANE WOULD HAVE SOUTHBOUND LANES FOR THE EASTBOUND PGA WOULD HAVE TWO LANES TO MERGE ON. SO WE CAN GET TWICE AS MUCH TRAFFIC OFF OF PGA WHICH IS VERY NECESSARY BECAUSE IN SEASON IT BACKS UP ALL THE WAY TO THE TURNPIKE NOW STATE ROAD 786 PGA BOULEVARD OWNS THE RIGHT OF WAY. THERE'S PLENTY OF LAND ON THE SOUTH SWALE ADJACENT TO PGA BOULEVARD. THERE IS ONLY A SIGN THERE. THEY OWN THE RIGHT OF WAY AROUND THE CORNER THEY OWN LAND BUT THEY STILL TURNED IT DOWN SO I JUST WANTED TO PUT IT OUT THERE THAT THE CITY HAS DEBATED THIS WE BEGGED AND EXTENDING THE LANE DOES NOTHING. IT'S STILL ONE LANE IT'S STILL. SO WHAT'S YOUR THOUGHTS ON THAT. FOR INCREASED CAPACITY IS ESSENTIALLY WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IMPROVED TRAFFIC OPERATIONS A LEVEL OF SERVICE I'LL NEED TO CHECK WITH [INAUDIBLE] IN THE DEPARTMENT TO SEE WHAT WHAT PLANS THEY HAVE TO INTRODUCE THOSE IMPROVEMENTS. I'M NOT AWARE OF THEM. WE JUST GOT SOME FINAL THE FINAL DRAWING ON IT A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO AND IT HAD ONE LANE AND IT WAS THE SAME PROPOSED IDEA FROM WHEN. IT'S LIKE THEY DIDN'T LISTEN TO ME AT ALL AND I KNOW TRAFFIC ESPECIALLY FROM THE RAW FORM WITH THE VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. AND LIKE I SAID WE DID OUR OWN STUDIES ON IT. YOU GUYS OWN THE RIGHT OF WAY. IT'S NOT MUCH ASPHALT AND YOU ONLY GOT TO MOVE A SIGN AND THERE MIGHT BE SOME INFRASTRUCTURE ISSUES IT'S SUCH YOU WOULD THINK IT'S A BAND-AID BUT IT'S NO BAND-AID. IT WOULD REALLY REMOVE TRAFFIC OFF A PGA. CARL. THAT'S FOLLOW UP CONVERSATIONS THAT WE CAN HAVE WITH CITY STAFF. PERFECT. I JUST WANT TO KEEP THAT GOING BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO GIVE UP ON IT WE SAVE SO MUCH MONEY AT NORTHLAKE AND 95 THIS IS NOTHING IN THE BIG PICTURE AND IT WOULD BE MAKE A FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCE FOR US TO 
          [00:30:05]
GET THOSE TWO LANES. AND THANK YOU. AND THAT CAN BE ANOTHER CONVERSATION THAT WE HAVE WITH TODD, NATALIE AND STAFF AND A PERSON IN THE DEPARTMENT WITH THOSE CONCERNS. 
          I WANT TO GET IT OUT THERE AGAIN. RON YOU HAVE A COMMENT. JUST A COMMENT THAT I'VE HEARD FROM THE DIAS HERE THAT THERE ARE SOME EXPECTATIONS OR SOMEONE MUST HAVE SOME DATA ABOUT THE THAT THIS PROJECT WOULD REQUIRE IF I HEARD RIGHT AND WOULD REQUIRE THE WIDENING OF CENTRAL BOULEVARD AND I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY DATA TO THAT EFFECT YET. SO IF YOU HAVE SOME PLEASE PASS IT ALONG BECAUSE I'D LIKE TO I'D LIKE TO KNOW THAT STAFF I'D LIKE TO SEE IT BUT I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY INDICATION OF THAT YET SO IF YOU HAVE SOME DATA. LET ME KNOW. I WAS JUST ASKING IF THERE WAS PART OF THE PLAN. HOW FAR DOWN THEY WERE GOING WITH THE WIDENING AND YOU GOT THERE JUST GOING AS FAR AS THE QUARTER MILE. RIGHT. THAT WAS THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION RIGHT. 
          ESSENTIALLY TO ACCOMMODATE THE INTERCHANGE REQUIREMENTS AND THEN TO TIE IN WITH EXISTING CONDITIONS. NOT THAT WE'RE IGNORING THE REMAINING PORTION OF PGA BOULEVARD BUT THAT'S WE'RE LOOKING WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THE PROJECT. AS FAR AS THE LIMITS ON THE PROJECT. THE REST OF THE REST OF CENTRAL'S COUNTY. CORRECT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. I WAS GOING TO REITERATE WHAT ROCHELLE JUST SAID THAT YOU KNOW THEY FDOT OWNS A CERTAIN PORTION OF IT THE COUNTY OWNS A CERTAIN PORTION OF IT. THEY'RE WORKING ON THEIR PORTION AND THEY'RE DOING THEIR BEST TO MERGE THEIR PORTION AND THE COUNTY PORTION. SO DEPENDING ON WHAT THE COUNTY SEES FIT TO DO IN THE FUTURE ABOUT WIDENING CENTRAL BOULEVARD OR NOT WIDENING CENTRAL BOULEVARD IT'S NOT FDOTS PROJECT. RIGHT. AND ALL THOSE CONVERSATIONS THAT THE CITY HAS HAD WITH THE COUNTY IN THE PAST TO DO IMPROVEMENTS ALONG PGA BOULEVARD. WE'RE JUST JUST. WELL THAT'S THE NEXT QUESTION IF I MAY. BECAUSE BECAUSE I THINK IT'S YOU KNOW I KNOW THAT YOU'VE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH TALKED ABOUT CENTRAL BOULEVARD AND THE BENEFITS TO THE REGION. IT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE MAIN PURPOSE FOR DOING THIS CENTRAL BOULEVARD INTERCHANGE WAS TO HELP RELIEVE TRAFFIC OFF OF I 95 AND AS A RESIDENT JUST DRIVING THROUGH THE CITY EVERY DAY. LIKE MOST OF YOU DO. 
          WE HAVE A PLAN FOR NORTHLAKE TO HELP. NOW WE'RE DEVELOPING A PLAN FOR CENTRAL TO HELP THE BIG ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM AND OUR CITY IS I 95 AND PGA BOULEVARD. THIS PROJECT MAY HELP A LITTLE BIT BUT I HAVE A AND CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG BUT I HAVEN'T SEEN A TRAFFIC STUDY THAT'S GOING TO BRING IN THE CARS AND  AND THE NUMBERS OF PEOPLE MOVING THROUGH THAT CORRIDOR ONCE WE SEE FT&LS COMPLETION [INAUDIBLE] TOWERS COMPLETION THE PROPOSED TRAIN STATION IN THE AREA. AT WHAT POINT DO YOU START TALKING ABOUT THE BIGGEST PROBLEM THAT WE HAVE WHICH IS GOING TO BE AND ALREADY IS PGA BOULEVARD AND 95 BECAUSE WITHOUT WITHOUT WITHOUT HAVING A REAL PLAN FOR THAT. I MEAN WE AS A CITY TOOK THE INITIATIVE TO DEVELOP A MOBILITY PLAN IN ANTICIPATION OF A TRAIN STATION IN ANTICIPATION OF THE DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH. AND NOW OUR HANDS ARE TIED BECAUSE WE HAVE NOTHING TO TELL US WHAT HOW WE'RE GONNA GET CARS IN AND OUT OF THAT REGION BECAUSE WE'RE CONCENTRATING ON NORTHLAKE AND CENTRAL AND IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR CITY WE HAVE PGA BOULEVARD AND THERE'S NO DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT. CAN YOU TOUCH ON ANY OF THAT. I THINK THAT'S A CONVERSATION THAT SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF THE DEPARTMENT. THE CONVERSATION THAT WE WOULD NEED TO HAVE WITH EXECUTIVE STAFF AT THE DISTRICT AS WELL AS THEIR TRAFFIC OPERATIONS OFFICE TO TAKE A LOOK AT EXISTING AND FORECAST TRAFFIC COUNTS. I DON'T HAVE THAT INFORMATION MAYOR WITH ME TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE YOU WITH A DEFINITIVE ANSWER. I GUESS OUR FOCUS ALL ALONG HAS BEEN JUST DOING THE FINAL DESIGN BUT THOSE TYPE OF TRAFFIC ISSUES AND CONCERNS DO NEED TO BE RAISED TO THE DEPARTMENT. IF IT ALREADY HAS OR HASN'T OR IT HASN'T IT NEEDS TO BE DONE AGAIN I THINK IT'S A CASE WHERE A MEETING WOULD NEED TO OCCUR BETWEEN THE CITY THE COUNTY AND THE STATE TO HAVE THOSE TYPE OF DISCUSSIONS FOR WAYS IN WHICH TO MITIGATE TRAFFIC CONGESTION. I MEAN THAT'S. MARIA. GO AHEAD. WELL PGA. AS MARK SAID IS THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM AND IT IS IT IT'S A IT'S AN ONGOING DISCUSSION. IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT HASN'T BEEN DISCUSSED BEFORE AND WE LENGTHENING THE RUN ON THE RAMP BASICALLY IS WHAT THE PLAN IS RIGHT NOW IS A BAND-AID. AND IF WE CAN'T MOVE TRACK TRAFFIC MORE EFFICIENTLY ON PGA BOULEVARD WE ARE WE WILL HAVE A PROBLEM AND WE CAN DO THE WAIT AND SEE IF BY IMPROVING NORTHLAKE AND IMPROVING CENTRAL RELIEVES TRAFFIC ON PGA OR NOT. BUT WE DON'T WANT TO DO A WAIT AND SEE AND 
          [00:35:03]
THEN. OH YES IT'S NOT WORKING AND THEN WE'VE GOT ANOTHER 10 OR 15 OR 20 YEARS BEFORE WE ACTUALLY PUT A PLAN IN PLACE. WE'VE ALREADY SPENT ONE HUNDRED SOME ONE MILLION DOLLARS TO DO THIS. AND WHEN YOU SAY WELL IF YOU'RE REALLY LOOKING AT IMPROVING THE WHOLE REGION WHERE WOULD YOU WANT IF YOU HAD X NUMBER OF DOLLARS TO SPEND WHERE WOULD YOU WANT TO SPEND IT. RIGHT. AND MAYBE THIS WILL HELP AND IT WILL TO SOME DEGREE I BELIEVE THAT YOU KNOW THE PLANS ARE FINE AND I HAVE NO ISSUES WITH THE WAY IT'S ALL PUT TOGETHER BUT. BUT NO ONE WANTS TO TALK ABOUT THAT AND LOOK IF PGA BOULEVARD HAD NO DEVELOPMENT NEVER AGAIN AND THIS IS ALL WE HAD CAN FIND BUT WE KNOW THAT'S THE CENTER OF OUR CITY. AND SO WE'RE LOOKING AT THE BEST USE OF DOLLARS AND WE CAN ONLY DO WHAT WE CAN DO INTERNALLY. SO WE ASK YOU GUYS AND THE STATE AND THE COUNTY AND OF COURSE EVERYONE THAT WE THAT WE CAN TALK TO AND THAT'S WHY YOU'RE HERE. THAT'S WHY WE'RE HITTING YOU WITH THE QUESTIONS. WHAT WHAT IS THE PLAN. AND WE CAN'T JUST PUT OUR HEAD IN THE SAND AND SAY WELL WE'LL WAIT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS. AND I WOULD IMAGINE THIS PROJECT IS HIGH ON THE TPAS PRIORITY LIST. 
          AND I JUST HAD ONE LAST THOUGHT. THE ONLY THING THAT I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO LOOK AT GOING FORWARD IS THIS WHAT YOU'VE ALREADY DONE WITH ALL THE OTHER INTERSECTIONS TO SAY DONALD ROSS THERE'S THREE SOUTHBOUND LANES TO ENTER I 95 AND AS YOU LOOK AT EVERYTHING THAT YOU'VE BEEN PROVED ALONG THE I 95 CORRIDOR CORRIDOR MOST EVERYTHING HAS TWO LANES OR MORE AND WORSE. AND IT'S LIKE THE MAYOR SAID PGA IS GOING TO GROW IT IS THAT IS THE THE THE CENTER HUB OF EVERYTHING ROTATES AROUND PGA AND 95. AND IF WE DON'T GET SOUTHBOUND FIXED AND WE DON'T DO IT NOW AND I KNOW MARIA AND I HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT IT FOR TWO YEARS OVER AND OVER I'M JUST ASKING TO LOOK AT WHAT YOU'VE ALREADY BUILT FOR IMPROVEMENT AND ENCOMPASS THE EXTRA MONEY THAT YOU'RE SAVING INTO FIXING GETTING OUR TRAFFIC OFF OF PGA BOULEVARD. 
          AND THE CONVERSATION HAS TO BE MORE THAN JUST DOT CITY IT'S GOT TO BE TURNPIKE BECAUSE WE JUST GOT A MESSAGE THIS WEEK FROM THE TURNPIKE AUTHORITY THAT THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE A PGA EASTBOUND FROM SOUTHBOUND TO EASTBOUND PGA OFF RAMP WHICH WE DON'T QUITE UNDERSTAND HOW THAT'S GOING TO WORK BUT THAT'S PART OF THE CONVERSATION IT'S ABOUT MOVEMENT AND TO HAVE EVERYTHING IN SILOS SEEMS TO GO AGAINST LOGIC. AND I KNOW THIS IS A PROJECTS WE'RE GOING TO FOCUS ON THIS PROJECT. BUT WHAT ABOUT THE BIG PICTURE AND THAT'S THE PICTURE. WHERE DOES THE TRAFFIC STUDIES FIT INTO THAT HOW DO WE UPDATE THEM HOW DO WE KNOW THESE ARE THE QUESTIONS THAT OUR RESIDENTS ARE ASKING AND THAT'S WHY WE ASK. ANY OTHER COMMENTS. 
          JUST A QUICK FOLLOW UP. THE MAYOR HAD HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD AS HE OFTEN DOES IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO RELIEVE THE TRAFFIC CONGESTION AT THE PGA INTERCHANGE. CORRECT. AND I'D LIKE YOU TO ANSWER A FEW IF YOU WILL. YEAH THAT'S ONE OF THE INTENTIONS OF THIS PROJECT IS TO ALLEVIATE THE TRAFFIC AT THE PGA INTERCHANGE. CORRECT. SO WE SAW ON THE TRAFFIC PROJECTIONS THAT WERE PROVIDED TO US AND THE PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE THAT WAS PRESENTED TO US THAT IS BASICALLY OUR UNDERSTANDING ME NOT BEING A TRAFFIC ENGINEER BUT TAKING THE PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE FROM THE PD&E AND ADVANCING AT THE FINAL DESIGN. SO THEN IF THAT'S THE PURPOSE I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU WOULDN'T LOOK AT WORKING ON THE INTERCHANGE ITSELF IF THE PURPOSE IS TO FIX THE INTERCHANGE. AND YOU FIXED THIS BUT YOU DIDN'T FIX THE INTERCHANGE ITSELF. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO MAKE SENSE TO ME. RACHELLE YOU HAVE A QUESTION  AND THEN WE'RE GONNA WRAP IT UP AFTER THIS. AS SOMEBODY WHO TAKES CENTRAL A LOT. WE DO HAVE SOME DEVELOPMENTS RIGHT THERE AROUND THE SCHOOL 117 AND ALL WHERE I CAN SEE THOSE PEOPLE MAY BE GETTING ON THERE INSTEAD OF THE OTHER. BUT ISN'T A LOT OF THE TRAFFIC THAT IS GOING TO USE THIS INTERCHANGE ACTUALLY COMING FROM THE OTHER SIDE AND WILL DETRACT FROM THE INTERCHANGE AT DONALD ROSS ROAD MORE THAN IT'S EVEN GONNA AFFECT PGA. WE'RE GOING TO GET PEOPLE THAT ARE COMING FROM THE OTHER DIRECTION TO USE THIS AND IT'LL LIGHTEN THINGS UP THERE WHERE THEY REALLY DON'T NEED IT TO BE LIGHTENED AT THIS POINT. ALL I KNOW IS I WASN'T USING IT FROM PGA GOING GOING NORTH. GOING NORTH GO GOING NORTH BUT NOT GOING AND GOING NORTH BUT NOT GOING SOUTH. ALL RIGHT. NO I CAN SEE WE WOULD USE IT GOING NORTH BUT NOT GOING SOUTH GOING SOUTH THAT'S GOING TO DRAW FROM THE NORTH GOING. ACTUALLY IF THAT'S OK WITH EVERYONE I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR COMING BECAUSE IT WAS REALLY GOOD OF YOU TO COME HERE AND KIND OF GIVE US THE HEADS UP. AND I'M VERY SENSITIVE TO THE CONCERNS OF THE CITY JUST BECAUSE I'M FOCUSING ON THE I 95 CENTRAL BOULEVARD INTERCHANGE. CERTAINLY DOESN'T DISCOUNT MY CONCERNS FOR THE CITY AND THE RESIDENTS. BUT THIS IS THIS IS HOW CONVERSATIONS START. AND THIS IS HOW DISCUSSIONS MOVE FORWARD AND THIS IS HOW SOLUTIONS COME TO COME TO FRUITION AND WE'VE GOT GREAT STAFF. THEY'LL BE TALKING WITH YOU. WE WILL BE TALKING WITH YOU  
          [00:40:02]
WE'LL BE THERE ON THE 14TH OF NOVEMBER TO HELP ANSWER QUESTIONS WITH STAFF. WE WANT TO MAKE THIS ENVIRONMENT SO THAT WE GET THE RIGHT THING DONE AT THE END OF THAT. 
          THERE WILL BE ADDITIONAL REPRESENTATION FROM THE DEPARTMENT FROM THE VARIOUS OFFICES AND THE TRAFFIC OPERATIONS BEING ONE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU FOR COMING TONIGHT. OUR PLEASURE. THANKS. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. SO SO ALL RIGHT. SO THANK YOU AGAIN FOR COMING AND YOU'RE WELCOME TO STAY TO LISTEN TO THE NORTHLAKE DISCUSSION BECAUSE THAT'S NEXT ON OUR AGENDA. NORTHLAKE BOULEVARD SIGNAL TIMING IF WE CAN HAVE OUR PRESENTERS COME AND SPEAK ON THAT. BE HERE BUT THEY'RE TIED UP RIGHT. HI GOOD EVENING MR. MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL. MY NAME IS [INAUDIBLE] I AM THE DIRECTOR OF THE TRAFFIC DIVISION FOR PALM BEACH COUNTY. I HAVE WITH ME HERE [INAUDIBLE] WHO IS THE MANAGER OF THE CHARTER SIGNAL SYSTEM AND ITS AND [INAUDIBLE] IS THAT OUR TRAFFIC SIGNAL TIMING ENGINEER. WE WILL PRESENT TO YOU ALL OF US. I'LL START WITH THIS PRESENTATION. THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS PRESENTATION IS TO GIVE YOU A QUICK OVERVIEW OF PALM BEACH COUNTY'S ENGINEERING AND PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT. 
          WE ARE PART OF THAT AND THAT THE SECOND PART OF IT WOULD BE ABOUT NORTHLAKE BOULEVARD SIGNAL OPERATION AND I THINK THAT'S THE FOCUS OF THIS PRESENTATION. 
          PALM BEACH COUNTY A PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT IS MADE UP OF SIX DIVISIONS EACH ONE OF THEM HAS SPECIFIC TASKS AND GOALS. ROADWAY AND ROAD AND BRIDGE IS BASICALLY PUBLIC WORKS ARM OF THE DEPARTMENT AND THE DO MAINTAIN OUR INFRASTRUCTURE ROADWAY PRODUCTION DOES PRODUCE DESIGN FOR OUR ROADWAY PROJECTS AND THEY BID THOSE PROJECTS. CONSTRUCTION COORDINATION DOES OVERSEE CONSTRUCTION OF THOSE PROJECTS. TRAFFIC OBVIOUSLY OPREATES AND MAINTAINS THE TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES ON COUNTY ROADWAYS AS WELL AS THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL SYSTEMS ON THE STATE HIGHWAY SYSTEM LAND DEVELOPMENT. DEVELOPMENT DOES TAKE CARE OF THEIR PLATTING AND ALSO DRAINAGE ON OUR ROADWAYS AS WELL AS PERMITTING IN THE PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY. STREETSCAPE OBVIOUSLY DOES THE STREETSCAPE STUFF. THERE ARE OVER FOUR HUNDRED SIXTY EMPLOYEES IN THIS DEPARTMENT AND THE OPERATING BUDGET IS OVER 60 MILLION DOLLARS. THIS IS A MAP OF THE MAJOR ROADWAY SYSTEM IN PALM BEACH COUNTY. THE BLUE LINES ARE THE ROADS THAT ARE MAINTAINED BY PALM BEACH COUNTY AND WHITE LINES ARE THE ROADS ARE MAINTAINED BY THE STATE. AS YOU CAN SEE THE SPLIT IS ABOUT 50/50. WE MAINTAIN OVER 2200 ABOUT 2200 LINEAR MILES OF ROADWAYS WHILE THE STATE MAINTAINS 2300. PALM BEACH COUNTY ALSO OPERATES THE ONLY PUBLIC BUS TRANSIT SYSTEM. IT OPERATES ONE HUNDRED FIFTY FIVE BUSES SERVING 29 MUNICIPALITIES 32 BUS ROUTES AND SERVES ABOUT 9 MILLION ANNUAL PASSENGERS WITH OPERATING BUDGET OF OVER 150 MILLION DOLLARS TWO THIRDS OF THAT FOR FUNDING FOR OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE COMES FROM OUR SALES TAX SORRY FROM OUR GAS TAX.  TRAFFIC ENGINEERING. OBVIOUSLY DOES DESIGN AND BUILD TRAFFIC SIGNALS OR TO OTHER TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES. PAVEMENT MARKING ON OUR ROADS AS WELL AS ADVISES ON THE PROJECTS THAT ARE NEEDED TO IMPROVE THE CAPACITY AND SAFETY OF OUR ROADWAY SYSTEM. WE HAVE OR ACTUALLY HUNDRED FORTY FIVE EMPLOYEES THAT WORK IN OUR DIVISION AND WE HAVE AN OPERATING BUDGET OF OVER 24 MILLION DOLLARS. THESE NUMBERS ARE FROM LAST YEAR WE DO HAVE WE DO OPERATE AND MAINTAIN 450 MILES OF FIBER OPTIC COMMUNICATION NETWORK. WE DO IN OUR SYSTEM HAVE A SYSTEM OF MOVE TOWARDS 50 OF THOSE THAT HELP OUR TEAMS [INAUDIBLE] MANAGE ACTIVELY THE ARTERIAL SYSTEM THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY. WE HAVE 110 ONLINE VIDEO CAMERAS 170 CLOSED CIRCUIT TV CAMERAS AND WE MAINTAIN OVER ACTUALLY 1200 SIGNALS ABOUT 80 PERCENT OF THOSE ARE ONLINE. WE DO USE DIFFERENT TECHNOLOGIES TO HELP US GET THERE AND WE 
          [00:45:03]
WILL GET NOW INTO THE FOCUS ON NORTHLAKE BOULEVARD AND FOR THAT I WILL HAVE LEE GET STARTED ON THIS. MOST CONCERNED SEGMENT OF NORTHLAKE IS FROM A MILITARY TRAIL TO US 1. THIS SEGMENT OF THE CORRIDOR IS ABOUT JUST OVER A THREE MILE 3.1 MILES. 
          AND BUT IN THIS 3.1 MILE IT HAS 14 TRAFFIC LIGHTS AND THAT THE AVERAGE DAILY TRAFFIC IS FROM 25 THOUSAND TO 53, 54 THOUSAND VEHICLES PER DAY. THAT THAT'S A LOT OF TRAFFIC THAT WILL MAKE THE 14 TRAFFIC LIGHTS ALONG THIS CORRIDOR SEVEN OF THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS WILL OPERATE AT THE LEVEL OF SERVICE OF A D OR E WHICH IS VERY CLOSE TO THE CAPACITY AND SEVERAL INTERSECTION SEVERAL INTERSECTION IS SPLITTING INTERSECTION YOU KNOW THE SIDE STREET DOES SPLIT FACING OPERATION LIKE KEATING DRIVE [INAUDIBLE] AND MACARTHUR BOULEVARD. SPLIT FACING YOU SERVCE YOU KNOW ONE SIDE WAS OF THE SIDE STREET AND THEN SERVE THE OTHER SIDE. THE TWO SIDES DOESN'T GO CONCURRENTLY. YOU KNOW THAT MAKE YOU KNOW SOME SITUATION VERY CHALLENGING IF YOU KNOW BOTH SIDES THAT ALLOW PEDESTRIAN CROSSING YOU KNOW IS WE WILL TAKE AWAY THE GREEN TIME WHEN THE PEDESTRIAN PUSHED THE PASS BUTTON. THE PASS SIGNAL COMES UP. ALSO ANOTHER CHALLENGE ALONG THESE [INAUDIBLE] CORRIDOR IS THE SIGNAL SPACE VERY CLOSE CUTTING RESEARCH STUDY REALLY IF YOU WANT TO COORDINATE THAT THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS WELL YOU KNOW THE SIGNAL THE SPACE BETWEEN THE SIGNALS IS ABOUT TWO THIRDS TO HALF OF THE [INAUDIBLE] LINES. IF A VEHICLE TRAVELED BETWEEN THAT INTERSECTION YOU KNOW THE THAT ACCORDING TO THE SPEED LIMIT OF THIS CORRIDOR 45 MILE PER HOUR THAT WILL MAKE YOU KNOW TWO THIRDS OF THEM TWO THIRDS OF A MILE. 
          THAT'S ABOUT IDEAL SPACE BETWEEN TRAFFIC LIGHTS. BUT LOOK AT THE INTERSECTION SPACE YOU KNOW THAT 3.1 MILE CONTAINS 14 TRAFFIC LIGHTS. YOU KNOW YOU TOOK [INAUDIBLE] YOU KNOW THAT TO MAKE ANOTHER YOU KNOW CHALLENGING SITUATION IN ORDER TO COORDINATE ALL THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS TOGETHER. AND ON TOP OF THAT YOU KNOW THIS THE LEVEL SERVICE [INAUDIBLE] IT'S ALL THAT'S CALCULATED BASED ON THE TYPICAL TRAFFIC OPERATION. AND IF YOU HAVE A PEDESTRIAN PUSH THE PEDESTRIAN BUTTON YOU ARE TRYING TO CROSS A MAJOR STREET ON NORTHLAKE. YOU KNOW THAT'S SOMETHING EXTRA. AND ALSO YOU HAVE AN EMERGENCY VEHICLE IF YOU KNOW THE EMERGENCY THINK OH YOU KNOW DON'T WANT TO GO THROUGH THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS THEY WILL HOLD UP ALL THE TRAFFIC AND THAT WILL HAVE AN EXTRA BURDEN FOR THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL INTERSECTION AND ALSO BETWEEN THE OLD DIXIE AND ALTERNATOR THERE IS A RAILWAY CROSSING AND THAT ON AVERAGE ABOUT 20 CROSSING PER DAY THAT'S ALMOST LIKE ONE CROSSING PER HOUR. YOU KNOW WHEN THESE THINGS HAPPEN EMERGENCY VEHICLE PEDESTRIAN PUSH BUTTON AND TRAIN CROSSING YOU KNOW WHEN THESE THINGS HAPPENS YOU KNOW YOU YOU KNOW THE INTERSECTION COULD GO QUICKLY FROM A LEVEL SURVEYS D OR E TO F FAILING. 
          SO YOU KNOW WHEN THE INTERSECTION IS FAILED YOU CAN QUICKLY BUILD UP THE TRAFFIC QUEUE AND WE'LL NEED YOU KNOW WE'LL NEED THE TIME TO DISSIPATE THOSE QUEUE. ALSO. YOU KNOW IF YOU HAVE A SURROUNDING CONSTRUCTION PROJECT GOING ON SOME TRAFFIC WILL RE ROUTE IT REDIRECT YOU THE YOU KNOW CERTAIN DIRECTIONS CERTAIN MOVEMENT IT WILL GET HEAVIER. WHEN THAT HAPPENS ALSO EXACERBATE THE CONDITION OF A TRAFFIC LIGHT INTERSECTION OPERATING. YOU KNOW THESE ARE THE CHALLENGES WE'RE FACING. AND ON A 
          [00:50:06]
DAY TO DAY YOU KNOW OPERATION WITH THESE TRAFFIC LIGHTS AND OVER THE YEARS WE HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT TECHNOLOGIES AND [INAUDIBLE] WILL GO OVER THE TECHNOLOGY. YOU KNOW WE TRIED AND OVER THE YEARS YOU KNOW. GOOD EVENING. ALL RIGHT. SO SO THIS THIS GRAPHIC HERE SHOWS THE TIMELINE OF SOME OF THE KEY ACTIVITIES AS IT RELATES TO TRAFFIC SIGNALS TIMING. SORRY CAN YOU TALK TO THE MIC PLEASE. SURE. IS THIS BETTER. 
          YEAH. SO THIS GRAPHIC HERE SHOWS A TIMELINE OF KEY TRAFFIC SIGNAL TIMING ACTIVITIES THAT WE HAVE TAKEN OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS. SO IN 2015 WE DEPLOYED AN ADAPTIVE TRAFFIC CONTROL SYSTEM. UNLIKE OUR TRADITIONAL SYSTEMS WHERE WE CHANGED THE TIMING PARAMETERS PRE SCHEDULE THROUGHOUT THE DAY. THIS ONE IN REAL TIME REACTS AND RESPONDS TO TRAFFIC DEMANDS BY HAVING EXTRA DETECTION EXTRA SENSORS AND ALGORITHMS THAT RUN THAT SYSTEM. IN 2017 WE HAD TO MIX QUITE A BIT OF ADJUSTMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH LANE CLOSURES AND DIVERSIONS WHEN THE PEDESTRIAN PORTION OF THE U.S. ONE BRIDGE JUST NORTH OF NORTHLAKE COLLAPSED. AND IN 2018 I'M SURE YOU HAVE ALL SEEN THESE CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS AT KEY INTERSECTIONS MILITARY TRAIL AS WELL AS OLD DIXIE INCLUDED QUITE A BIT OF ELEMENTS AND WE HAD TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TO ACCOMMODATE THESE AS WELL. AND THEN IN 2019 AFTER SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGES WE DECIDED TO TURN OFF THE ADAPTIVE SYSTEM THAT WAS DEPLOYED IN 2015 TEMPORARILY AND THEN WE PUT BACK NEW OPTIMIZED TRAFFIC SIGNAL TIMING PLANS JUST TO GO A LITTLE MORE IN-DEPTH ON THE ADAPTIVE TRAFFIC CONTROL SYSTEM THAT WE HAVE IT'S CALLED INSYNC AGAIN DEPLOYED IN THE SPRING OF 2015. INITIALLY SHOWED US SOME POSITIVE RESULTS SIMILAR TO WHAT YOU WOULD GET WHEN YOU RETIME A SIGNALIZED CORRIDOR. AND THEN WE STARTED OVER THE YEAR SEEING SOME CHANNEL CHALLENGES PARTICULAR TO NORTHLAKE BOULEVARD IN THIS CASE INCONSISTENT OPERATION AROUND THE INTERCHANGE WITH 95. IT'S A LIMITATION WITH THE ALGORITHMS AS WELL AS THE PEDESTRIAN ACTIVATIONS AND HOW THE SYSTEM HANDLES THEM RANDOMLY AT CERTAIN INTERSECTIONS AS LEE HAS MENTIONED. AND THEN SO WE FOUND OURSELVES HAVING TO CONSTANTLY TWEAK THE SYSTEM AND MAKE ADJUSTMENTS AND GO TO THE VENDOR AND TRY TO FIND SOLUTIONS CONSTANTLY. EVEN THOUGH THE SYSTEM IS SUPPOSEDLY AN ADAPTIVE SYSTEM SO SECONDLY HARDWARE FAILURES THAT THAT'S A KEY ONE. SO THIS SYSTEM REQUIRES LIKE THREE ADDITIONAL HIGHLY SENSITIVE ELECTRONIC PIECES OF EQUIPMENT IN THE SILVER BOX THAT RUNS THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT EVERY LOCATION LET ALONE ADDITIONAL HARDWARE UP IN THE AIR TO DETECT CUES AND MEASURE DELAYS OF VEHICLES THAT ARE STANDING IN THE QUEUE. 
          WE'VE SEEN REPETITIVE FAILURES AND IN THESE COMPONENTS AND WHEN THESE FAIL THE SYSTEM REVERTS TO KIND OF A  FAILSAFE MODE AND RUNS OFF OF HISTORICAL DATA. HOWEVER THAT WAS ALSO A BIG BIG CHALLENGE. THAT WASN'T A SMOOTH TRANSITION. THEN CAME THE CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES IN 2018 THAT ARE STILL BEING WRAPPED UP AT OLD DIXIE AND NORTH MILITARY SOME PICTURES OF THESE LANE CLOSURES DETECTION WENT OUT THE WINDOW OBVIOUSLY WITH THE WHOLE SUPPORT STRUCTURES AT THESE INTERSECTIONS BEING CHANGED SO THAT THE DEFINITELY SOME NON OPTIMAL OPERATIONS AT THESE TWO INTERSECTIONS TOOK PLACE FOR QUITE SOME TIME AND THEN IN 2019 AGAIN THE CHALLENGES WITH THE SYSTEM ESCALATION OF COMPLAINTS WE WENT AHEAD AND RETIMED THE CORRIDOR PUT BACK TO ADDITIONAL TIMING PLANS GIVEN THE CONSTRAINTS THAT WE HAVE ON THE LACK OF DETECTION AT THESE TWO KEY INTERSECTIONS THAT ARE UNDER CONSTRUCTION. WE DID MEASURE THE BEFORE AND AFTER CONDITIONS AND FOUND STABILITY AND POSITIVE RESULTS AFTER THIS DEPLOYMENT. WE ALSO ADDED THIS CORRIDOR UNDER THE FDOT SUPPORTED THE ACT OF ARTERIAL MANAGEMENT PROGRAM IT'S THIS THIS PROGRAM IS FOCUSED ON PROACTIVE INTERACTION WITH THE SIGNALS SYSTEM WE HAVE FIVE OPERATORS AND SIGNAL TIMING ENGINEERS THAT MAN OUR TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT CENTRE FROM 7 TO 7 AND MONITOR MONITOR CERTAIN CORRIDORS FOR ANY ISSUES WITH 
          [00:55:02]
TRAFFIC AND JUST REOCCURRING CONGESTION OCCURRING CONGESTION AS WELL AS ANY INCIDENTS OF DIVERSIONS THAT TAKE PLACE. SO UNLIKE TRADITIONAL WAYS OF DOING THINGS IT'S TAKEN THAT SECOND LEVEL OF MORE EYES ON THE SYSTEM. AGAIN THIS THIS THIS CORRIDOR WAS ADDED TO THAT NETWORK AND IS CONSTANTLY BEING MONITORED THROUGH A BUNCH OF INTELLIGENT  TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM COMPONENTS SUCH AS CAMERAS AND THESE BLUETOOTH UNITS THAT HELP ASSESS TRAVEL TIME AND SPEED IN A RELATIVE MATTER SIMILAR TO WHAT YOU SEE ON YOUR GOOGLE MAPS WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO GET SOMEWHERE THESE PICK UP YOUR ANY ENABLED BLUETOOTH DEVICE AND MATCH IT DOWNSTREAM. AND THIS IS HOW IT KEEPS TRACK OF TRAVEL TIME AND SPEED ON THE CORRIDOR. 
          AND THIS IS JUST A QUICK SNAPSHOT OF SOME OF THE IMAGES WE SEE FROM OUR FROM OUR TRAFFIC CONTROL CENTER. WE WANTED TO QUICKLY JUST HIGHLIGHT TO SOME OF THE PROJECTS WHETHER IT'S ROADWAY WIDENING OR INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS WITHIN OR IN THE VICINITY OF THE CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS. AND THIS THIS SLIDE HERE SHOWS A SAMPLE OF THESE PROJECTS SOME OF WHICH ARE PROGRAMMED SOME ARE UNDER CONSTRUCTION LIKE THE ONES WE MENTIONED THAT NORTHLAKE MILITARY NORTH LAKE IN OLD DIXIE HOOD ROAD IS BEING WRAPPED UP AND FINALLY TO JUST TO RECAP IT'S TAKEN SEVERAL INITIATIVES WHEN IT COMES TO TRAFFIC SIGNAL TIMING ALONG THIS CORRIDOR WITH SUPPORT FROM FDOT UNDER ITS ARE ACTIVE ARTERIAL MANAGEMENT PROGRAM THAT THAT THE SYSTEM INITIALLY WORKED OK. HOWEVER WE WE RAN INTO QUITE A BIT OF ISSUES WITH IT AND CHALLENGES GIVEN THE UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS OF THIS OF THIS CORRIDOR. SO AS OF THIS YEAR WE'VE PUT BACK ALL TIMING PLANS TRADITIONAL TIMING PLANS THAT CHANGED BY TIME OF DAY. UNTIL WE FIGURE OUT WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO LONG TERM WITH THE SIGNAL SYSTEM THIS IS NOT THE ONLY CORRIDOR THAT WE HAD SOME CHALLENGES WITH THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY AS IT RELATES TO THIS PARTICULAR SYSTEM. WE HAVE A TOTAL OF 4 THREE OF WHICH WE'VE KIND OF STRUGGLE TO TO GET POSITIVE RESULTS OUT OF OVER TIME. SO WE JUST AS OF SEPTEMBER WE MET WITH THE PRESIDENT OF THIS COMPANY THIS VENDOR AND THE VENDOR IS COMMITTED TO COMING DOWN AND REVISITING EVERYTHING AND MAKING SURE WE OPTIMIZE THE SYSTEM MAKE SURE WE PUT BACK EVERYTHING THE WAY IT NEEDS TO BE AND MAXIMIZE ITS BENEFITS. WE HAVEN'T STARTED YET BUT THAT'S THE POINT WE'RE AT. WE WERE AT NOW AND LOOKING FORWARD. AND FINALLY AGAIN NORTHLAKE IS PART OF THAT ACTIVE MATERIAL MANAGEMENT PROGRAM PGA WHICH GOES THROUGH THE CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS IN A CRITICAL CORRIDOR FOR YOU ALL WILL BE ADDED IN THE NEAR FUTURE. SO THERE WILL BE MORE EYES ON IT AS WELL. WITH THAT SAID WE WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT OUR WEB SITE IS GOING THROUGH SOME REVAMPING AND WE RECENTLY ADDED THE SECTION TO THE RIGHT THAT YOU SEE FOR ANYTHING RELATED TO TRAFFIC. PLEASE SHARE WITH ANYONE THIS INFORMATION THAT'S ON OUR WEB SITE. IF ANYTHING RELATED TO TRAFFIC SIGNALS TRAFFIC SIGNAL TIMING SIGNS AND ANYTHING RELATED TO TRAFFIC WE HAVE THIS INFORMATION NOW ON OUR WEB SITE. WITH THAT SAID WE'D BE HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. I'M ACTUALLY GOING TO RECOGNIZE COMMISSIONER MARK [INAUDIBLE] FROM NORTH PALM BEACH. HE'S ACTUALLY SITTING BEHIND YOU. I KNOW HE HAD A QUESTION OR COMMENT. SO MARK IF YOU'D LIKE TO COME UP TO THE TO THE MICROPHONE PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD. SURE. THANK YOU FOR COMING TONIGHT AND BEING A PART OF THE CONVERSATION. WELL THANK YOU. IT'S GOOD TO BE HERE IN YOUR LOVELY COMMISSION CHAMBERS. GOOD TO SEE ALL OF Y'ALL WORKING. I NORMALLY SEE YOU AT A HAPPY USUALLY MORE JOYOUS EVENT. WELL ANYWAY SPEAKING SPEAKING ABOUT THIS I'M SPEAKING FOR THE RESIDENTS OF NORTH PALM BEACH WE'VE HAD A LOT OF STRUGGLES WITH NORTHLAKE AND I KNOW THAT YOU'VE HEARD IT FROM YOUR RESIDENTS CARL AND I'VE BEEN ON NORTHLAKE BOULEVARD OVERLAY ZONING DISTRICT. IT'S IT'S JUST AN ISSUE AND IT'S AN ISSUE OF TIMING. I MEAN THIS MORNING I WAS ON NORTH LAKE AND I GOT STOPPED AT PROSPERITY AND THEN 200 FEET LATER I GOT STOPPED AND ALTERNATE A1A AND THEN 300 FEET LATER I GOT STOPPED AT CONGRESS OR MAYBE IT WAS 350 FEET LATER AND THEN I GOT STOPPED AT MCARTHUR WHICH IS COSTCO AND THEN I GOT STOPPED RIGHT THERE BEFORE THE INTERSTATE AND THEN I GOT STOPPED RIGHT THERE AGAIN AT THE INTERSTATE. SO THE PROBLEM HERE IS IS THAT THIS IS ME TRAVELING AT EIGHT O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING BUT THIS IS ALSO ME TRAVELING AT 6:40 6:30 ON A TUESDAY MORNING WHEN I'M GOING TO AN EXECUTIVE MEETING OR A BOARD MEETING IN THE 6:30 IN THE MORNING. SO THERE'S ME AND FIVE OTHER PEOPLE ON THE ROAD. THE OTHER ISSUE TOO IS THAT TAKE TAKE FOR EXAMPLE MY SMALL BUSINESS WHERE I HAVE EIGHT TECHNICIANS ROLLING IN SOMEWHERE AROUND THE 730 MARK. THAT'S THAT'S 15 MINUTES COMMUTE TIME NORMALLY AND IT SHOULD BE ABOUT SEVEN OR EIGHT 
          [01:00:05]
MINUTES SO YOU SAY SEVEN TIMES EIGHT. YOU KNOW YOU'RE 42 MINUTES OF PAID TIME THAT I'M PAYING FOR THAT'S BEING KILLED. SO WHAT I'M ASKING IS IS THAT CAN WE COORDINATE THE LIGHTS SO THAT WE'RE NOT STOPPING FOLKS AT PROSPERITY AT ALTERNATE A1A THEN AGAIN AT CONGRESS AND AGAIN AT MCARTHUR. 
          IT'S PERPETUAL AND I AM THE ONE WHO'S BEEN COMPLAINING TO ANDY I KNOW ALL OF YOU HAVE BEEN HEARING FROM ANDY OUR VILLAGE MANAGER. I APPRECIATE THE GARDEN'S COUNCIL FOR GETTING BEHIND US. I HOPE THAT WE CAN FIND A RESOLUTION. I KNOW IT'S NOT AN EASY TASK BUT IT'S FRUSTRATING TO THE RESIDENTS AND I'M SURE THAT OUR RESIDENTS SHARE OUR VIEWS. THANKS. THANK YOU MARK. THANK YOU FOR THE YOU KNOW THE COMMENTS. AS I SAID EARLIER YOU KNOW THIS CORRIDOR THIS SEGMENT OUT OF THE 14 TRAFFIC LIGHTS SEVEN OF THEM ARE AT OR CLOSE AT CAPACITY. WELL TRAFFIC IN LIES IS RUNNING AT CAPACITY. 
          ANY INTERRUPTION LIKE RAILROAD CROSSING EMERGENCY VEHICLE PASSING THROUGH A PEDESTRIAN BUTTON PUSHED ANY ACTIVITY WHICH TAKE AWAY ADDITIONAL GREEN TIME FOR THE CORRIDOR EAST OR WEST IT WILL CAUSE BACKUP AND IT WILL ONCE CAUSE THE BACKUP. 
          YOU KNOW YOU IT TAKES TIME TO DISSIPATE THOSE THE ONES SO YOU KNOW THAT YOU KNOW ADDITIONAL GREEN TIME IS TAKEN AWAY FROM THOSE INTERSECTION THE SIGNAL RUNNING THE CAPACITY COORDINATION NO LONGER HELP YOU KNOW THE OTHER DAY. I MEAN YESTERDAY ACTUALLY YOU KNOW [INAUDIBLE] IS ANOTHER CORRIDOR HAVING PROBLEMS AND LOTS OF COMPLAINTS AND BEFORE THAT I THINK MONDAY LOTS OF COMPLAINTS THERE ARE YOU KNOW SOME PEOPLE GOT VERY UPSET. YOU KNOW WE STOPPED EVERY LIGHT YOU KNOW TRAVELING EASTBOUND ON [INAUDIBLE] AND YOU GUYS HAVE TO DO SOMETHING. SO I NOTIFIED OUR YOU KNOW TMC CONSULTANTS YOU KNOW WE NEED  TO DO SOMETHING YOU KNOW THEY CERTAINLY LOOKED INTO IT AND YESTERDAY SAME PERSON CALLED IN AND WROTE AN E-MAIL SAID BEAUTIFUL YOU GUYS DID THE WONDERFUL JOB YOU KNOW THE TRAFFIC FLOW BEAUTIFULLY THIS MORNING. EASTBOUND. NO STOP. I THEN TOOK TO TMC CONSULTANT. I SAID GOOD JOB GUYS YOU DID SEE THE E-MAIL WE GOT SOME GOOD FEEDBACK. YOU KNOW. WHAT DID THE CONSULTANT SAID. WELL WE DID NOT DO NOTHING. WE CHECKED. THAT'S THE BEST WE COULD DO. YOU KNOW THEY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING. DAY ONE YOU KNOW COMPLAINTS IN PERSON ANOTHER DAY THEY SAY YOU KNOW RUNNING BEAUTIFUL. THAT'S BECAUSE YOU KNOW SOME OF THE INTERSECTION RUNNING AT LEVEL OF SERVICE E. AND IT'S AT CAPACITY ANY INTERRUPTION ANY EMERGENCY VEHICLE PASSING THROUGH, TRAIN, PEDESTRIAN PUSH BUTTON TAKE ADDITIONAL 20 SECOND THE 30 SECONDS OF GREEN TIME AWAY FROM THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS THAT WILL FAIL THE INTERSECTION ONCE THE INTERSECTION FAILED IT TAKES TIME TO DISSIPATE EVEN YOU KNOW 10 20 CAR. IT TAKES TIME SO. WE UNDERSTAND THERE'S A LOT OF CHALLENGES AND WE'RE NOT HERE TO THINK THAT YOU HAVE A MAGIC BULLET. BUT WE THANK YOU FOR COMING. I KNOW THAT SOME OF OUR COUNCIL HAS SOME QUESTIONS AND CARL SITS WITH MARK ON THE NORTHLAKE. SO DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION OR COMMENT. I HAVE LOTS OF THINGS TO SAY. SO FIRST OFF LET ME APOLOGIZE BECAUSE I'M GOING TO BE MORE MATTER OF FACT. THIS IS A BUSINESS MEETING BUT I WOULD APPRECIATE IF YOU GUYS WOULD JUST THROW YOUR HANDS UP IN THE AIR AND SAY WE DON'T KNOW IT'S NOT WORKING AND THEY'RE OFF BECAUSE PGA BOULEVARDS OFF NORTH LAKE BOULEVARDS IT'S OFF PROBABLY MOST OF THIS YEAR AND NONE OF US REALLY WANT TO HEAR THAT IF SOMEONE PUSHES ACROSS SIGNAL A CROSSWALK SIGNAL THAT IT'S GOING TO MESS UP EVERYTHING ELSE DOWN THE ROAD. AND HERE'S OUR UNIQUE SITUATION WITH PALM BEACH GARDENS IF YOU CAN VISUALIZE THIS. I'M SURE EVERYONE IN THIS ROOM PROBABLY LIVES HERE. WE ARE YOU ONE OF OUR MOST CHALLENGES WITH THE COUNCIL IS OUR RESIDENCES CONSTANTLY COMPLAIN TO US ABOUT TRAFFIC. AND IT'S ONE OF THE BIGGEST ISSUES WE ALWAYS HAVE IS NOT RAISING TAXES. IT'S TRAFFIC. WE HAVE DONALD WE HAVE DONALD ROSS AND DONALD ROSS AND 95. WE HAVE THE TURNPIKE THE TURNPIKE AND PGA. WE HAVE THE TURNPIKE AND [INAUDIBLE] ROAD. WE HAVE I 95 A NORTHLAKE. WE HAVE I 95 AND PGA. 
          THAT'S LIKE A NOOSE AROUND THE HEART OF OUR CITY. AND WE HAVE ALL OF THIS TRAFFIC COMING INTO OUR CITY AND WE'RE WE'RE IN TECHNOLOGY WE'RE APPROVING BUSINESSES THAT 
          [01:05:08]
ARE GOING TO ENHANCE THE CITY FP&L IS BUILDING MORE UP THE STREET AND WE HAVE TO GET THIS RIGHT SOMEHOW PGA BOULEVARDS OFF. I WAS SITTING THERE 3:00 4:00 IN THE MORNING A WEEK AGO AND I SAT THERE THROUGH THE WHOLE SIGNAL PROBABLY TOOK FIVE SIX SEVEN MINUTES BEFORE IT WAS OPERATING FOR A WHILE AND NOW IT'S OFF. I HAVE E-MAILS FROM YOU MO THAT START IN FEBRUARY TO MR. [INAUDIBLE] DIRECTING YOUR STAFF TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM AND GET WITH ANDY AND RON AND PRESENT YOUR FINDINGS PLANS TO GET MORE FEEDBACK FROM THEM MAYBE MEET WITH THEM MEETING NEVER HAPPENED. THIS WAS A CONVERSATION WITH YOU IN FEBRUARY. SO IF IT'S NOT WORKING JUST SAY IT'S NOT WORKING BECAUSE YOU'RE SAYING CHALLENGES YOU'RE ALL SAYING THE SAME WORDS AND THE PRESENTATION IS FINE BUT I DON'T HEAR SOLUTIONS AND THAT'S WHAT PALM BEACH GARDENS NEEDS BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T KNOW WE BRAG WE'RE THE NUMBER ONE CITY IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA AND WE HAVE TO FIGURE THIS OUT. SO YEAH THAT'S OUR TONE. RACHELLE DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. YEAH. SO WHAT I HEARD BASICALLY IS THAT BACK BEFORE 2015 WE WERE HAVING TRAFFIC PROBLEMS AND EVERYBODY WAS COMPLAINING AND WE GOT THIS NEW SYSTEM THIS INSYNC SYSTEM IN 2015 AND THEN IT WASN'T WORKING AND IT HASN'T BEEN WORKING RIGHT SINCE 2015. SO WE TURNED IT OFF AND WE WENT BACK TO THE OLD WAY WHICH WASN'T WORKING. AND THEN WE ADDED THE SAME SYSTEM TO PGA LAST YEAR THAT ALREADY WASN'T WORKING ON NORTHLAKE SO I DON'T GET WHY YOU WOULD PUT A SYSTEM THAT'S NOT EFFECTIVE ON ANOTHER CORRIDOR AND YOU SAID THAT THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS ON NORTHLAKE ARE AT CAPACITY AND I UNDERSTAND THAT THAT IS A REAL PROBLEM BUT THAT'S A PROBLEM THAT SOMEHOW HAS TO BE SOLVED. AND IF THIS SYSTEM CAN'T DO IT LIKE CARL SAID I DON'T SEE ANY SOLUTIONS. ANY IDEAS WHAT DO YOU DO ABOUT TRAFFIC SYSTEM TRAFFIC SIGNALS THAT ARE AT CAPACITY ON A ROAD THAT CAN'T HANDLE ANYMORE TRAFFIC. WE ARE NOT IN SEASON YET AND EVERYBODY IS COMPLAINING ALREADY AND WE HAVE CONSTRUCTION AND WE HAVE CONSTRUCTION RIGHT. YEAH. I WANT TO ANSWER FIRST. COUNCILMAN WOODS ABOUT THE MEETING THAT I WAS CALLED UPON TO GET TOGETHER. WE DID HAVE THAT MEETING AND WE I THINK WE HAD TODD WAS THERE AT THE MEETING AND HE PARTICIPATED ACTUALLY HAD SOME GOOD IDEAS ABOUT WHAT WE CAN DO TO IMPROVE THE SITUATION IN NORTHLAKE. SO WE DID. AND I THINK WE INVITED RON BUT HE WAS NOT ABLE TO ATTEND ANDY HE WAS THERE AND ALL THE FOLKS. YEAH. SO WE DID FOLLOW ON ON WHAT WE PROMISED. WE WEREN'T EASY ON THE STATE EITHER. WE GOT TO WE GOT TO. YEAH I UNDERSTAND I UNDERSTAND BUT YOU KNOW WHAT WHAT LEE WAS TRYING TO EXPLAIN TO YOU AND THIS IS NOT UNIQUE FOR US OR IT IS IT IS EVERYWHERE ACROSS THE NATION THAT WHEN YOU DEAL WITH COORDINATION ALONG A MAJOR CORRIDOR LIKE THIS ONE YOU ARE VULNERABLE TO PEDESTRIAN ACTIVATIONS WHEN A PETITION PUSHES THE BUTTON TO CROSS A MAJOR CORRIDOR. THEY ARE TAKING MORE TIME OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO CROSS A FRONT WALK A LONGER DISTANCE. AND THAT'S YOU KNOW THE SIDE STREET THAT DOES NOT GENERALLY NEED MUCH TIME. NOW YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT ALL OF THAT TIME IT MESSES UP THE COORDINATION. THIS IS THE NATURE OF THE TECHNOLOGY NOW. NOW ONE THING THAT WE WERE JOINTLY WORKING ON WITH THE STATE AND THE STATE ACTUALLY HAD FEW CONSULTANTS THAT ARE HOUSED WITHIN OUR TMC WE DO THIS ACTIVE ARTERIAL MANAGEMENT PROGRAM AND NORTHLAKE AND PGA BLVD BOTH OF THEM ARE ON THOSE CORRIDORS THAT ARE ACTIVELY MONITORED BY STAFF. AND ANYTIME AN INCIDENT HAPPENS THERE THEY REACT TO IT RIGHT OF WAY. BUT WHEN A PEDESTRIAN ACTIVATES THE SIGNAL THERE'S NOTHING THAT ANYBODY CAN DO.  WE DON'T PRETEND THAT WE HAVE MAGIC BULLETS BUT WE DO THE BEST WE CAN. AND THAT'S WHAT YOU KNOW WE EXPLAINED THAT THE CITIZEN CALLED ONE DAY COMPLAINING ABOUT HAVING TO STOP AT EVERY INTERSECTION. AND THE NEXT DAY CALLED TO THANK THEM FOR FIXING IT WHEN THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING. IT SO HAPPENED THE FIRST DAY. APPARENTLY HE WAS UNFORTUNATE BECAUSE HE RAN AT THE SAME ABOUT THE SAME TIME WHEN A PEDESTRIAN HAPPENED TO BE ACTIVATING THE SIGNAL. SO YEAH BUT THAT'S INDIAN TOWN ROAD. YEAH. I MEAN THE SYSTEM THAT THE STATE OR THE COUNTY IS USING TO COORDINATE TRAFFIC FOR IT SO SO 
          [01:10:03]
THE SYSTEM THE INTERSECTIONS CAN SPEAK TO ONE INTERSECTION AFTER ANOTHER IS NOT SMART ENOUGH TO MOVE TRAFFIC BECAUSE IT GETS INTERRUPTED OVER A PEDESTRIAN. IT SHOULD SOMEHOW HAVE TO RESET ITSELF. AND THEN WITHIN A CYCLE OR TWO. BESIDES YOU'RE TAKING YOUR LIFE TO CROSS NORTHLAKE BOULEVARD ANYWAY. RIGHT. BUT IT SHOULD BE SMART ENOUGH TO WITHIN A CYCLE REGROUP AND THEN START MOVING TRAFFIC HARMONIOUSLY EVEN THOUGH THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE. BUT PGA BOULEVARD IS A WHOLE DIFFERENT ANIMAL. 
          WE'RE NOT MOVING THAT MUCH TRAFFIC. PROBABLY A THIRD OF THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC ON PGA THAT THERE IS ON NORTHLAKE. SO IT'S BEEN WORKING AND IT'S BEEN OFF FOR HOW LONG. PGA. SINCE MARCH I BELIEVE RIGHT. SO WHAT'S THE PROBLEM WITH FIXING. 
          PGA. YEAH. SO WHAT HAPPENED IS THAT THIS VENDOR INSYNC WAS SUMMONED OVER AND AS [INAUDIBLE] SAID HE CAME HERE TO VISIT US ACTUALLY THE CEO OF THE COMPANY BECAUSE THEY GOT THE WORD THAT WE TURNED OFF THEIR SYSTEM AND WE MAY NOT REINSTATE IT. THAT'S YOU KNOW MARKETING OBVIOUSLY FOR THEM. SO HE CAME DOWN HERE AND HE PROMISED TO TAKE CARE OF IT. HE CONTENDS THAT SOME OF THE CONTRACTORS WHO INSTALLED THEIR EQUIPMENT HAVE NOT DONE IT THE RIGHT WAY. AND ALL OF THOSE SYSTEMS WERE FUNDED AND INSTALLED BY THE STATE. THEY STARTED WITH OKEECHOBEE BOULEVARD EAST OF THE INTERSTATE. AND ABOUT THE SAME TIME THEY INSTALLED THE ONE ON NORTHLAKE AND THEN LAST YEAR JUST FINISHED INSTALLING THE ONE ON PGA BOULEVARD BY THEN YOU KNOW WE REALIZED YOU KNOW ACTUALLY NOT BY THEN. BEFORE THAT WE REALIZED THAT THIS SYSTEM IS NOT QUITE DOING WHAT WE THOUGHT IT WOULD. AND THAT'S WHY WE HAD ANOTHER ACTUALLY FUNDED PROJECT TO INSTALL THE SAME SYSTEM ON INDIAN TOWN ROAD. AND WE CHANGED THAT WE CANCELED IT AND WE WENT AND WE WORKED WITH THE TOWN OF JUPITER ABOUT THAT. KNOW WHAT I APPRECIATE WHAT YOU'RE TRYING. I MEAN I SENSE YOUR FRUSTRATION. I THINK WE ALL SENSE EVERYONE'S FRUSTRATION IN THE ROOM YOU GUYS. I SENSE THAT YOU ARE ALL HOPING TO TRY TO DO WHAT'S RIGHT. YOU ALL KNOW THE SITUATION YOU ALL KNOW WHERE WE'RE COMING FROM WHERE RESIDENTS ARE COMING FROM. I BELIEVE THAT YOU'RE REALLY LOOKING FOR A SOLUTION THERE IS NO MAGIC BULLET. THERE'S TWO PROBLEMS THAT WE SEE RIGHT AWAY. YOU STILL HAVE THIS RIGHT TURN LANE ON NORTHLAKE WESTBOUND MILITARY THAT'S STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION. THAT'LL HELP RESOLVE A LITTLE BIT OF THE PROBLEM CONGRESS BOULEVARD. I DON'T KNOW WHEN THAT'S GOING TO GO NORTHBOUND. THAT SHOULD SOLVE SOME OF THE PROBLEMS IN NORTH PALM BEACH WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THOSE PROJECTS ACCELERATED BECAUSE THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT YOU ALREADY HAVE IN YOUR PIPELINE THAT CAN BE DONE AND SHOULD BE DONE. AND WE'LL HELP YOU KNOW WE'RE NOT TRAFFIC ENGINEERS WE'RE RESIDENTS WERE FRUSTRATED. YOU GUYS ARE THE EXPERTS AND I SENSE YOUR FRUSTRATION. BUT YOU KNOW JUST KEEP WORKING AT IT AND WE WILL HAVE OUR STAFF WORK WITH YOU AS BEST WE CAN TO MAKE SURE THAT WHATEVER ISSUES WE HAVE ARE FIXED BECAUSE ULTIMATELY THAT'S WHAT YOUR JOBS ARE AND WE WANT TO SEE AND WE WANT TO HELP YOU SUCCEED.

I'M SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO A MEETING I HAD RECENTLY WITH A VETERAN WHO INSISTED ON CITY HALL AS THE MEETING LOCATION. NORMALLY I LIKE TO HAVE MEETINGS OUTSIDE OF CITY HALL SOMEWHERE IN THE CITY BUT HE WANTED TO MEET AT THE CITY HALL WHICH WAS A LITTLE [INAUDIBLE] TO ME SO NEITHER I OR JANICE HAD ANY ADVANCE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TOPICS THAT WOULD BE DISCUSSED. BUT UNBEKNOWNST TO BOTH OF US THIS MEETING SURROUNDED THE DEATH OF TWO CITIZENS ONE BEING THE RECENT DEATH OF HIS DAUGHTER. 
          WITHIN THE LAST FEW MONTHS AND THE OTHER WAS THE PASSING OF A VETERAN DEACON. JANICE HELPED SET THE TONE FOR WHAT ENDED UP BEING A VERY EMOTIONAL AND COMPLICATED HOUR. AFTER THE MEETING I COULD TELL BY THE BODY LANGUAGE OF THE VETERAN WHO WAS WITH US HOW BLOWN AWAY HE WAS BY THE TREATMENT HE HAD RECEIVED FROM JANICE WHICH REFLECTS ON THE ENTIRE CITY STAFF. IN CLOSING CANDACE AND I THOUGHT OF SOME KEY WORDS ABOUT JANICE WHICH COME TO MIND LIKE PROFESSIONALISM RESPECT ABOVE AND BEYOND WARMHEARTED NEWS INTEGRITY JANICE CARING DISPOSITION HAS LEFT A POSITIVE IMPRESSION ON ME AS WELL AS THE VETERAN AND I DID NOT WANT HER TO GO UNRECOGNIZED. SO THAT WAS AN IMPORTANT MEETING THAT JUST THREW ME OFF. JANICE WAS JANICE WAS RIGHT THERE AND SHE JUST OPENED THE SHE JUST HAD A WARM AND WELCOMING FOR BOTH OF US AND IT ENDED UP BEING A VERY DIFFICULT HOUR AND WE HAD NO IDEA WHAT WE GOT OURSELVES INTO.

WITH THAT I'D LIKE TO BRING AT THIS TIME OUR POLICE CHIEF CLINT SHANNON UP FIRE CHIEF BRYER AND CHIEF IPPOLITO. THEY HAVE A SPECIAL PRESENTATION. IT'S A LOT OF CHIEFS. 
          THANK YOU MR. MANAGER. GOOD EVENING MR. MAYOR. MR. VICE MAYOR COUNCIL MEMBERS I WANT TO BRING IT TO YOUR ATTENTION. ALSO WITH CHIEF BRYER CHIEF IPPOLITO IF WE COULD BRING UP OFFICER CHRISTOPHER BAEZ ASSISTANT CHIEF MARTY BECHDEL CAPTAIN ANDERSON PLEASE JOIN ME. WANT TO BRING YOU SOME AN INCIDENT THAT OCCURRED WE'D LIKE TO BRING YOUR ATTENTION INVOLVING OFFICER BAEZ ON THURSDAY AUGUST 29. JUST AFTER 8 P.M. 
          OFFICER CHRISTOPHER BAEZ WAS TRAVELING SOUTHBOUND ON FLORIDA TURNPIKE SOUTH OF BEELINE HIGHWAY. HE HAD JUST LEFT THE PALM BEACH GARDENS POLICE STATION WHICH WAS OFF DUTY AND WAS ON HIS WAY HOME WHEN HE NOTICED SOMETHING OCCUR APPROXIMATELY A MILE IN THE ROADWAY IN FRONT OF HIM AS AS HE APPROACHED HE REALIZED THAT A SEMI TRACTOR TRAILER HAD DRIVEN OFF THE ROADWAY AND COLLIDED WITH THE GUARDRAIL. THE TRUCK AND TRAILER RIG OVERTURNED ON ITS ROOF IN THE IN THE BUSHES IMMEDIATELY AND IMMEDIATELY CAUGHT FIRE. OFFICER BAEZ CALLED IN THE ACCIDENT 
          [01:25:03]
EXITED HIS VEHICLE TO ASSESS THE SCENE. HE FOUND THE DRIVER LAYING ON THE GROUND IN A DITCH ONLY FEET FROM THE FULLY ENGULFED TRACTOR TRAILER. OFFICER BAEZ OBSERVED A DARK FLUID ON THE DRIVER'S BODY AND CLOTHING WITH THE FIRE QUICKLY SPREADING THROUGH THE THICK BRUSH AREA BAEZ DRAGGED THE VICTIM ABOUT 20 YARDS TO HIS PATROL VEHICLE. HE DROVE HIM UP THE SHOULDER OF THE ROADWAY TO AN AREA THAT WAS SAFE FROM THE FIRE. LEARNING THAT THERE WAS NO OTHER OCCUPANTS IN THE TRUCK OFFICER BAEZ IMMEDIATELY BEGAN CHECKING THE VICTIM FOR INJURIES AND DETERMINED THAT THE BLACK FLUID THAT WAS ON HIS BODY APPEARED TO BE EITHER DIESEL FUEL OR HYDRAULIC FLUID FROM THE ACCIDENT. HE RINSED THE FLUID OFF THE VICTIM AND THEY WAITED FOR PALM BEACH GARDENS FIRE RESCUE TO ARRIVE PALM BEACH GARDENS AND PALM BEACH COUNTY FIRE RESCUE UNITS ARRIVED ON THE SCENE EXTINGUISH THE FIRE AND BEGIN TREATING THE VICTIM. PALM BEACH GARDENS FIRE CAPTAIN JASON O'BRIEN CONTACTED HIS COMMAND STAFF AND ADVISED HIM OF OFFICER BIAS HEROIC ACTIONS. HE STATED IN AN EMAIL RECOGNIZING OFFICER OFFICER BAEZ'S ACTIONS QUOTING HIS SELFLESS ACTIONS AND WILLINGNESS TO PUT HIMSELF IN HARM'S WAY PROBABLY SAVED THIS DRIVER'S LIFE AND CERTAINLY LIMITED THE INJURIES THAT HE HAD SUSTAINED. WE HAVE A PHOTO JUST TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE QUICK PHOTO. WE HAD GOTTEN THIS WAS THE TRUCK AFTER AFTERWARDS ALSO WE APPRECIATE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT BRINGING THIS TO OUR ATTENTION BECAUSE WE WERE AWARE OF IT BUT OFFICER BAEZ IN HIS HUMBLENESS REALLY DOWNPLAYED HIS HIS HIS ACTIVITIES THAT NIGHT. SO WE WERE GLAD TO HEAR FROM FIRE RESCUE BUT WE'RE EXTREMELY PROUD OF OFFICER BAEZ. AND WE WANT TO RECOGNIZE HIM BY PRESENTING HIM WITH OUR DEPARTMENT'S MERITORIOUS SERVICE AWARD AND RIBBON FOR HIS ACTIONS BEING OF HIGH VALOR UNDER ADVERSE CONDITIONS RISKING HIS LIFE AND HIS EFFORTS DEMONSTRATED VALUABLE POLICE SERVICE AND AND CERTAINLY WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY. WE ALSO WANT TO THANK CAPTAIN O'BRIEN AND OUR FIRE RESCUE DEPARTMENT FOR BRINGING HIS ACTIONS TO OUR ATTENTION AND ALSO FOR RECOGNIZING OFFICER BAEZ. 
          [APPLAUSE]  SO AS YOU MIGHT IMAGINE THE LIFESAVING THE WORDS LIFESAVER AND HEROIC ARE NOT WORDS THAT WE USE VERY SPARINGLY. SO WHEN IT COMES FROM A MEMBER OF OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT AND OUR CITY TO RECOGNIZE ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL ESPECIALLY ANOTHER POLICE OFFICER. IT MEANS A LOT. OFFICER BAEZ AS WE'VE LEARNED THIS PROCESS IS EXTREMELY HUMBLE. HE DID NOT HAVE TO STOP. HE DID NOT HAVE TO GET INVOLVED AND HE SURE AS HECK DID NOT HAVE TO RISK HIS OWN LIFE FOR THIS INDIVIDUAL. AND HE DID AND THERE'S ANOTHER MAN ALIVE BECAUSE OF IT TODAY. SO ON BEHALF OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND CHIEF BRYER WE'D ALSO LIKE TO ALSO PRESENT TO YOU OUR LIFESAVING AWARD AS WELL.  [APPLAUSE] THANKS FOR THE THANK YOU THAT WAS VERY TOUCHING AND MOVING AND THANKS FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO ALL OF OUR OFFICERS AND FIRST RESPONDERS ARE TOP NOTCH IN THIS CITY SO WE APPRECIATE EVERYTHING THEY DO.

AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR THE FIRE RESCUE EQUIPMENT AND ACCESSORIES IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE ALL DOCUMENTS NECESSARY TO EFFECTUATE SUCH A LEASE PURCHASE AGREEMENT PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE FOR OTHER PURPOSES. THANK YOU WE'LL OPEN THE HEARING. IS THERE A PRESENTATION KM! RA. GOOD EVENING CITY COUNCIL FOR THE RECORD KM! RA PURCHASING AND CONTRACTS DIRECTOR AND THIS IS RESOLUTION 59 2019. THE FIRE RESCUE DEPARTMENT NEEDS TO PURCHASED ABOUT 70 SCBA AIR PACKS TO REPLACE THE CURRENT EQUIPMENT THAT THEY HAVE WHICH IS ABOUT 16 YEARS OLD. THEY NEED TO REPLACE EQUIPMENT BECAUSE THEY NEED TO COMPLY WITH THE NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION STANDARDS. SCBAS ARE LIKE SCUBA EQUIPMENT IF YOU SCUBA DIVE THEY ALLOW FIREFIGHTERS TO GO INTO BUILDINGS AND TO BREATHE WITHOUT INJURING THEMSELVES AND TO RESCUE VICTIMS. IT IS A BASIC PIECE OF RESCUE EQUIPMENT. THIS IS WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE THIS IS ACTUALLY WHAT THE MODEL WE ARE PURCHASING LOOKS LIKE. THE CITY OBTAINED COMPETITIVE QUOTATION  COMPETITIVE QUOTATION FOR THE PURCHASE OF THE SCBA IS FROM 10 H FIRE EQUIPMENT THE PRICES QUOTED ARE BASED ON PIGGY BACKING COMPETITIVE SOLICITED CONTRACT BY THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS LAKE COUNTY FLORIDA. WE ASK THIS CONTRACT BECAUSE IT WOULD SAVE ON ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS AND WOULD ALSO SAVE ABOUT 25 PERCENT OF THE REGULAR EQUIPMENT PRICING WE FOR THE LEAST FINANCING WE GOT COMPETITIVE FINANCING QUOTATIONS FROM JP MORGAN CHASE BB&T BANK PNC EQUIPMENT FINANCE AND LEASING TO THE BEST FINANCING RATES WERE OFFERED BY JP MORGAN CHASE FOR ANNUAL PAYMENTS OF ABOUT NINETY THOUSAND DOLLARS. AT AN INTEREST RATE OF 2.8 PERCENT AND HERE IS A TABULATION THAT YOU CAN LOOK AT. WE HAD THEM PROPOSE TWO OPTIONS. OPTION ONE WAS IF WE HAD A ONE YEAR DELAY IN PAYMENT AND OPTION TWO WAS IF WE STARTED PAYING FOR THE EQUIPMENT WHEN WE GOT IT OF COURSE. IF WE HAD A ONE YEAR DELAY IT WILL COST US MORE. 
          STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL. THE ANNUAL LEASE PAYMENTS ARE NINETY THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED THIRTY ONE DOLLARS AND THIRTY SIX CENTS AND THIS IS ALREADY BUDGETED IN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT'S BUDGET. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS I CAN ANSWER THOSE ARE STAFF 
          [01:35:05]
FROM THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. THANK YOU. I DON'T HAVE ANY CARDS OR COMMENTS SO I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING CAN I GET A MOTION AND SECOND TO APPROVE. I MAKE A MOTION WE APPROVE RESOLUTION 59. IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION. I JUST WANT TO THANK KM! RA ONCE AGAIN FOR SCOURING THE STATE TO FIND THE BEST CONTRACT TO PIGGY BACK ON IT SAVES US A LOT OF MONEY EVERY YEAR BY LOOKING FOR MUNICIPAL AND STATE CONTRACTS THAT WE CAN PIGGY BACK ON. THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. JUST ONE THING. I JUST WANT THAT RESOLUTION TO REFLECT THAT IT'S SIX HUNDRED THIRTY FIVE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED AND NINETY FOUR THOUSAND FIVE NINETY FOUR FOR CLARIFICATION IS THE ACQUISITION COST OF THE EQUIPMENT 635 IS THE DEBT SERVICE COSTS WITH THE INTEREST ADDED. THE NINETY THOUSAND IS WHAT THEIR BUDGET EACH YEAR. 
          QUICK QUESTION HOW DO HOW DO WE KNOW WE GOT THE BEST POSSIBLE PRICE ON THIS ITEM THAT WE COULD POSSIBLY GET NOT THE FINANCING. WHEN YOU SAY POSSIBLY GET YOU MEAN IN FLORIDA IN THE WORLD WE GO THROUGH WHAT WE DO MARKET RESEARCH AND WE LOOK AT NOT JUST WHAT IS ON THE [INAUDIBLE] A CONTRACT WE LOOK AT WHAT'S A U.S. COMMUNITIES WHAT'S ON [INAUDIBLE] WHERE WE HAVE OTHER GPOS WE CAN LOOK AT AND THEN WE REALIZE THAT THE BEST PRICE IS [INAUDIBLE].

          [Item X B]
OF THE CITY COUNCIL CITY PALM BEACH GARDENS FLORIDA APPROVING A PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT WITH PALM BEACH NORTH ATHLETIC FOUNDATION INC. A FLORIDA NOT FOR PROFIT CORPORATION TO DEVELOP AN INDOOR RECREATIONAL FACILITY AT THE GARDEN'S NORTH COUNTY DISTRICT PARK. SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF THE AGREEMENT BY PALM BEACH COUNTY FLORIDA PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE FOR OTHER PURPOSES. GOOD EVENING AGAIN CITY COUNCIL FOR THE RECORD KM! RAH PURCHASING AND CONTRACTS DIRECTOR WITH ME IN CHARLOTTE [INAUDIBLE] LEGISLATIVE SERVICES ADMINISTRATOR AND ALSO ATTENDING AND AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS ARE JEFF CAMPBELL AND MICHAEL WINTER FROM THE PALM BEACH NORTH ATHLETIC FOUNDATION. RESOLUTION 60 IS A PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE GARDENS NORTH COUNTY DISTRICT PARK INDOOR RECREATION FACILITY AS YOU KNOW THE CITY HAS A [INAUDIBLE] INTER LOCAL LEASE AGREEMENT WITH PALM BEACH COUNTY FOR DEVELOPMENT OF THE GARDENS NORTH COUNTY DISTRICT PARK. PHASE 1 DEVELOPMENT INVOLVED PRIMARY DEVELOPMENT OF SEVERAL SOCCER FIELDS. PARKING CONCESSIONS AND INFRASTRUCTURE. AND PHASE TWO INVOLVES THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN INDOOR RECREATION FACILITY. WHILE ALL THIS WAS GOING ON THE CITY RECEIVED SEVERAL INQUIRIES FROM DIFFERENT PARTIES WHO EXPRESSED INTEREST IN BEING INVOLVED IN DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATING THIS FACILITY. AND SO TO BE EQUITABLE AND FAIR AND TRANSPARENT THE CITY TO FACILITATE A COMPETITIVE PROCESS TO SAY THEY ADVERTISE TO REQUEST A PROPOSAL TO SECURE RESPONSES FROM QUALIFIED PROPOSALS WHO COULD DESIGN CONSTRUCT OPERATE AND MAINTAIN THE FACILITY. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR IS A LONG TERM PARTNER. UNDER THE RULES THAT FLORIDA STATUTES ESTABLISHES FOR PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS TO OPERATE IT IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS FACILITY AND ITS DEVELOPMENT WILL NOT REQUIRE ANY KIND OF CITY FUNDING OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. THE CITY WILL NOT PUT UP ANY MONEY WHATSOEVER FOR THIS. THIS IS THE LOCATION OF THE PROPOSED LOCATION THAT YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH. THIS IS WHERE THE INDOOR FACILITY  SHOULD GO. IT'S ABOUT 200000 SQUARE FEET SO THE RFP HAD ITS FIRST EVALUATION CRITERIA CERTAIN TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS THAT THE PROPOSALS WILL BE SCORED ON THE MOST IMPORTANT WAS THE OVERALL DESIGN AND MIX OF PROGRAMS AND AMENITIES THAT CARRIED 30 POINTS AND ANY POTENTIAL REVENUE OR REVENUE SHARING FOR THE COUNTY OR THE CITY CARRIED 20 POINTS THIS WHOLE PROJECT STARTED ABOUT A YEAR AGO IN SEPTEMBER OF TWENTY EIGHTEEN WE ADVERTISED REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL WE WENT THROUGH THE REGULAR PERMUTATIONS OF THAT PROCESS WE'LL POSTED AN AWARD RECOMMENDATION IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR AND A FINAL OFFICIAL NEGOTIATION MEETING WITH THE FOUNDATION WAS IN MAY OF 2019. WE RECEIVED TWO PROPOSALS HOWEVER ONE PROPOSAL IT WAS DEEMED UNRESPONSIVE BECAUSE THE VENDOR NEEDED TO INCLUDE THE PROPOSAL BOND AND DID NOT INCLUDE A PROPOSAL BUT THE SELECTION COMMITTEE COMPRISED CITY STAFF COUNTY STAFF AND A MEMBER FROM THE PALM BEACH COUNTY SPORTS COMMISSION AND THAT SELECTION COMMITTEE RECOMMEND THAT THE CITY NEGOTIATE AN AGREEMENT WITH THE PROPOSAL. WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE AND RESPONSIBLE SUBSEQUENT TO THOSE NEGOTIATIONS. TO THOSE DISCUSSIONS AND NEGOTIATIONS THE CITY INTENDS TO EXECUTE A PUBLIC PRIVATE PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT WITH FOUNDATION FOR 
          [01:40:03]
THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE INTO A RECREATION. DURING THE EVALUATION OF VIEW AND RECOMMENDATION. IN FACT THE ENTIRE PROCESS THE CITY ENGAGED STAFF FROM THE COUNTY AND THE SPORTS COMMISSION AND BOTH THE SELECTION COMMITTEE AND THE NEGOTIATION TEAM. THESE ARE LISTED PROPOSALS CAPITAL SPORTS ET AL AND PALM BEACH NORTH ATLANTIC FOUNDATION OF COURSE CAPITAL SPORTS WAS DEEMED UNRESPONSIVE SO THE SELECTION COMMITTEE DID NOT REVIEW THE PROPOSAL FROM THAT COMPANY. THE SELECTION COMMITTEE OF COURSE RANKED PALM BEACH NORTH ATHLETIC FOUNDATION NUMBER ONE AND CHARLOTTE IS GOING TO TAKE FROM THIS POINT AND TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE AMENITIES THE PROPOSED AMENITIES FOR THE FACILITIES AND THE PROGRAM. THANK YOU KM! RA. CHARLOTTE [INAUDIBLE] LEISURE SERVICES ADMINISTRATOR. I WOULD LIKE TO START OFF WITH THANKING BOTH MICHAEL AND JEFF. WE HAD SPIRITED DEBATE AS WE WORKED ON THIS AGREEMENT BUT I THINK WE REACHED OUR ULTIMATE GOAL WHICH WAS THE VISION TO HAVE A FACILITY THAT IS IN TRUE PARTNERSHIP THAT WILL BENEFIT THIS COMMUNITY AND HELP US CONTINUE TO POSITION OURSELVES AS A SPORT DESTINATION AND INCREASE OUR OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE SPORT AS AN ECONOMIC GENERATOR IN THE CITY. THE GARDENS NORTH COUNTY DISTRICT PARK IS ALREADY RECEIVING RAVE REVIEWS FROM PEOPLE INSIDE THE STATE AND OUTSIDE OF THE STATE AND WE'RE ALREADY WORKING WITH THE SPORTS COMMISSION TO BRING DIFFERENT EVENTS TO ALL OF OUR FACILITIES SO THIS JUST CONTINUES THAT THE PROPOSED CONCEPTUAL IS THAT WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT TONIGHT ARE JUST THAT THEY'RE PROPOSED THEY'RE IN THE DOCUMENTS THAT THE FOUNDATION SUBMITTED TO US TO START THIS CONVERSATION. WHAT YOU DO NEED TO UNDERSTAND IS WHAT WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT TONIGHT. THERE COULD BE SLIGHT CHANGES AS IT GOES THROUGH THE PROCESS BUT GENERALLY THE FACILITIES THAT ARE OUTLINED ARE WHAT WE ANTICIPATE TO SEE THE FOUNDATION TO BUILD. SO THE RENDERINGS HERE IS A PICTURE OF THE FRONT TALKING ABOUT THE FACILITY LET'S START WITH THE BIGGEST AMENITY WE HAVE TWO SHEETS OF ICE. WE HAVE SQUASH COURTS INDOOR ROCK CLIMBING WALL MULTIPURPOSE COURTS WHICH I WILL NOTE THERE NOT ONLY ARE THEY BASKETBALL BUT CAN BE USED FOR PICKLEBALL INDOOR VOLLEYBALL ALL SORTS OF OTHER SPORTS. THIS DOES HELP US WITH OUR TWO GYMNASIUMS WE ARE CONSTANTLY FULL THESE TWO THIS FACILITY HERE WILL SEE A LOT OF ACTIVITY. WE ALSO HAVE AN ARENA MULTI-SPORT COURT HERE AND THEN OTHER ANCILLARY AMENITIES THAT WILL GO THROUGH AS WE GO THROUGH THE CONCEPTUAL DRAWINGS. THE SECOND FLOOR AND AS WE GO FORWARD YOU'LL SEE THROUGH THE CONCEPTUAL DRAWINGS IS VERY WIDE OPEN SO IF YOU'RE ON THE SECOND FLOOR YOU'RE GOING TO LOOK DOWN INTO THE DIFFERENT FACILITIES. AND THEN THERE ARE DIFFERENT AMENITIES AVAILABLE ON THE SECOND FLOOR INCLUDING MEETING ROOMS. YOU WILL ALSO SEE SPORT PERFORMANCE AREAS AND SPORT FITNESS THROUGHOUT THE FACILITY. AS WE LOOK THROUGH THESE I DO WANT TO MENTION A KEY ELEMENT TO THIS. IT WILL BE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AND IT IS FOR PUBLIC BENEFIT. WE WORKED IN A SPIRIT OF PARTNERSHIP WITH THE TEAM TO NOT BE IN COMPETITION WITH WHAT WE DO WITH THE PBGYA ALREADY OFFERS BUT TO COMPLEMENT THE FACILITIES THEIR FACILITIES TO COMPLEMENT WHAT WE ALREADY DO AND ENHANCE WHAT WE CAN PROVIDE THE PUBLIC. THESE ARE IMAGES OF A PRO SHOP. THEY WILL HAVE A FUNCTIONING PRO SHOP AND OTHER AMENITIES SHOWS CONCESSIONS YOU WILL SEE FOOD WINE BEER SERVICE THROUGHOUT THE FACILITY. THIS IS A PICTURE OF THE INDOOR COURT SPORTS AGAIN THIS IS PICKLEBALL. WE TALKED ABOUT THAT A LOT LAST WEEK. THEIR ANNUAL PROGRAM AS WE LOOK THROUGH THESE PICTURES I JUST WANT TO MENTION WE'LL BE WORKING IN COORDINATION WITH THEM ANNUALLY TO SET THEIR PROGRAMMATIC. WE'RE NOT GOING TO GET INVOLVED IN EXACTLY WHAT THEY DO BUT AGAIN JUST LOOKING AT THAT PROGRAM COMPLEMENT TO MAKE SURE IT COMPLEMENTS WHAT WE DO AND IS SUPPLEMENTING PROGRAMS TO THE PUBLIC. ALSO WE'LL BE WORKING ON AN ANNUAL CALENDAR. THAT PARK IS GOING TO BE VERY BUSY. SO WE'LL SET THAT IN ADVANCE SO WE KNOW WHEN THERE'S A LARGE EVENT IN THEIR FACILITY WE WON'T PLACE A LARGE EVENT EVENT IN THE PARK FACILITY BECAUSE WE WILL BE CO SHARING PARKING AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE. THE AGREEMENT AS YOU READ IT AS I AGAIN CONTINUE TO SHOW PICTURES LEAVES TALKS TO THE GROUND LEASE FOR THE FACILITY ON THE OUTSIDE. IT ALSO HAS THE REVENUE SHARE THAT'S IN THERE. ONE THING I WILL NOTE AS WE GET TO THE LAST SLIDES THERE IS A PUBLIC BENEFIT REPORT THAT WILL BE PRODUCED EACH YEAR BY THE FOUNDATION THAT WILL DETAIL THE ACTIVITIES THE PROGRAMS THE NUMBER OF PUBLIC THAT THEY REACH THAT WILL TALK ABOUT THE ECONOMIC BENEFIT THEY'RE GOING TO DO THAT IN COORDINATION WITH OUR SPORTS COMMISSION. SO THERE'S A TRUE PARTNERSHIP THERE. THIS PICTURE THAT YOU SEE IS AN INDOOR PLAYGROUND WITH THE ROCK WALL. IT WILL BE A MEMBERSHIP BASE. PEOPLE CAN GO IN UTILIZE THESE FACILITIES. I THINK YOU CAN HONESTLY SAY WHEN YOU LOOK AT ALL OF THIS THEY 
          [01:45:06]
TRULY HAVE BUILT A FACILITY THAT POSITIONS OUR CITY AS A SPORT DESTINATION NOT ONLY FOR THE PUBLIC BUT PREMIER ATHLETES TO TRAIN AND TO CALL PALM BEACH GARDENS HOME. I'M GOING TO TURN IT BACK TO KM! RA FOR THE DETAILS. AGAIN TO POINT OUT THE CITY AND THE COUNTY WILL HAVE NO FINANCIAL COMMITMENTS OR DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROJECT. HOWEVER A CITY MAY ASSIST THE FOUNDATION TO OBTAIN GRANT AND TO ACT AS A CONDUIT FOR BOND FINANCING. AS YOU KNOW WE RECENTLY DID THAT FOR ONE OF THE RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS HERE IN THE CITY. AND THAT DOESN'T COST THE CITY ANYTHING. THE FACILITY MAY BE CONSTRUCTED IN PHASES AND AGAIN MAY. SO THAT'S AN OPTION. THE FOUNDATION INTENDS TO RAISE THE FUNDS AND BUILD THE FACILITY ONE TIME. BUT THERE IS AN OPTION THAT IF ANYTHING HAPPENS THERE IS A RECESSION SOMETHING CRAZY WE GET HIT BY A CATEGORY SIX HURRICANE THEN MAYBE THAT MAY BE PUT OFF AND THEY MAY HAVE TO DO IT IN PHASES. SO THAT'S ONE OF THE EVENTUALITIES. THE CITY HAS THE RIGHT TO TERMINATE THE AGREEMENT IF THESE MILESTONES ARE NOT MET. AND IF THAT HAPPENS IT WILL THEN END UP OWNING THE FACILITY AND BE ABLE TO USE A PERFORMANCE BOND TO COMPLETE THE FACILITY. AS YOU KNOW IT GARDEN'S DISTRICT PARK THE CITY IS SEVERAL YEARS AHEAD OF THE TIMELINE FOR DEVELOPMENT OF THIS PROJECT AND THIS PARTICULAR BUILDING AND FACILITY IS CRITICAL. THE CITY MEETING ITS LEASE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE COUNTY IN TERMS OF PHASE TWO AS CHARLOTTE POINTED OUT THE FACILITY WILL INCLUDE A VARIETY OF INDOOR SPORTING AMENITIES INCLUDING BASKETBALL VOLLEYBALL PICKLEBALL FOOTBALL ETC.. THE CITY WILL OWN THE FACILITY AFTER THE INITIAL TERM OF THE AGREEMENT WHICH COINCIDES WITH OUR INITIAL FIRST TERM OF THE INITIAL FIRST TERM OF THE LEASE AGREEMENT. SO WHEN THE LEASE AGREEMENT ENDS THEN THE TERM OF THIS WILL END AND THE CITY WILL OWN THE FACILITY THAT PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP RULES OF FLORIDA STATUTES REQUIRE THAT AT SOME POINT A PUBLIC ENTITY MUST OWN THE FACILITY AT THAT TIME WE MAY CHOOSE AGAIN TO TURN AROUND AND LEASE THE FACILITY BACK TO THE FOUNDATION. BUT THAT'S ALMOST 50 YEARS FROM NOW AND THAT'S A LONG TIME IN THE FUTURE AND MAYBE NONE OF US WILL BE HERE. THESE ARE THE FUNDRAISING MILESTONES. [LAUGHTER]. THESE ARE THE FUNDRAISING MILESTONES AS YOU SEE IN THE AGREEMENT. THESE ARE THE CONSTRUCTION MILESTONES AND THESE ARE THIS IS THE FACING PLAN IF THEY DECIDE TO PHASE AS YOU CAN SEE THE PHASING PLAN IN PHASE ONE WE WOULD TAKE CARE OF ALMOST 90 PERCENT OF THE FACILITIES OF THE AMENITIES STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL WHEN YOU APPROVE IT THE RESOLUTION WILL GO TO THE COUNTY FOR APPROVAL AND THEN WE'LL COME BACK HERE FOR DISTRIBUTION. THIS PROJECT AGAIN HAS NO BUDGETARY IMPACT FOR THE CITY. ANY QUESTIONS? WANT TO START MATT. SURE. I WANT TO BEGIN BY SAYING THAT I REALLY WELCOME THIS 43 MILLION DOLLAR INVESTMENT IN OUR CITY. THANK YOU FOR PROVIDING US WITH ACCESS TO INDOOR ICE SKATING RINKS HOCKEY PICKLE BALL ROCK CLIMBING BASEBALL BASKETBALL AND GOLF. AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT. BILL I WILL ALSO POINT OUT THE FACT THAT I WAS VERY IMPRESSED BY THE FACT THAT THIS PROJECT IS SUPPORTED BY MAYOR TINSLEY, ROSA [INAUDIBLE], KELLY SMALLRIDGE, PAM [INAUDIBLE] AND JOHN [INAUDIBLE]. AND THAT GOES A LONG WAY WITH ME IN REACHING MY DECISION TO SUPPORT THE PROJECT. I DO HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS. DO YOU KNOW APPROXIMATELY OR DO YOU HAVE ANY ESTIMATION OF WHAT THE MEMBERSHIP FEE WOULD BE THE ANNUAL FEE. THE FACILITY WILL HAVE A BLEND OF ADMISSION FEES PROGRAM FEES MEMBERSHIP FEES BASED ON THE TYPE OF PROGRAM THE TYPE OF PROGRAM AND PUBLIC BENEFIT WILL BE GOING ON THROUGHOUT THE YEAR ON A FRIDAY NIGHT OR ON A WEEKEND PUBLIC SCAPE. THERE WOULDN'T BE ANY MEMBERSHIP YOU WOULD JUST PAY YOUR ADMISSION FEE AS YOU WOULD ANYWHERE AND THEN YOU COULD ALSO HAVE YOUR PROGRAM FEES FOR ANY OF THE SPORTS THAT WOULD BE THERE YOU PAY. LEARN TO PLAY FEE. AN EIGHT WEEK PROGRAM FEE. THERE WILL BE ANNUAL MEMBERSHIPS FOR MEMBERSHIP. SCUSE ME FOR CERTAIN PARTS OF THE FACILITY BUT NOT ALL. SO IT WILL BE A BLEND OF ALL DIFFERENT TYPES OF FEES BASED ON PROGRAMS AND AMENITIES. PUTTING MY BUSINESS HAT MY NEXT QUESTION WOULD BE IN THE EVENT OF OF IT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN IN THE EVENT OF A DEFAULT. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN. THE CONTRACT REQUIRES WHEN THE FOUNDATION STARTS CONSTRUCTION TO PROVIDE A PERFORMANCE BOND 
          [01:50:02]
AND THAT PERFORMANCE MONTH ALLOWS THE CITY TO COMPLETE THE CONSTRUCTION OF FACILITY. 
          IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT 10 PERCENT OF THE OF THE FACILITY WILL BE FINANCED. IT WILL BE A MORTGAGE ON THE PROPERTY AND THE REMAINDER OF THE TIME. I MISSPOKE. TEN MILLION DOLLARS WOULD BE FINANCE AND THE REMAINDER IS GOING TO BE RAISED BY BY FUNDING. HOW ARE YOU GOING TO GO ABOUT FUND RAISING THE OTHER 30 MILLION DOLLARS GREAT QUESTION. WE HAVE ENGAGED CHARLOTTE PELTON IS HERE TONIGHT FOR OVER 12 MONTHS NOW AND IT'S THAT GOOD OL CAPITAL CAMPAIGN WE ARE WE HAVE BEEN INTERVIEWING PROSPECTIVE DONORS FOR MULTIPLE MONTHS. WE HAVE A LOT OF INTEREST AND ARE THRILLED WITH THE REACTIONS WE'RE GETTING. WE EXPECT THE MAJORITY OF THE 30 MILLION DOLLARS TO COME FROM PRIVATE INDIVIDUALS. ALSO IN OUR PITCH WE'RE GOING TO OFFER NAMING RIGHTS. SO SOMEBODY WHO WOULD LIKE TO DONATE 10 MILLION DOLLARS CAN NAME THE ENTIRE FACILITY RANK ONE IS FOR SALE RIGHT TO IS FOR SALE. THE GYMNASIUM SPACE IS FOR SALE. EVERYTHING DOWN TO THE BRICKS. WE HAVE A FOUNDERS CLUB. THE FIRST HALF A MILLION DOLLARS BECOME FOUNDERS. THEY GET RECOGNITION ON THE WALL AND THEN AGAIN YOU KNOW THE NAMING RIGHTS IS GOING TO BE PART OF IT. 
          WE'RE GONNA HAVE AN EXCLUSIVE MEDICAL PROVIDER WHICH I DON'T WANT TO NAME THE NAME BUT WE'RE VERY VERY CLOSE TO PINNING THAT DOWN. AS A MATTER OF FACT THEY WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW THIS VOTE GOES TONIGHT AND WE HOPE TO ANNOUNCE THAT VERY SOON. 
          BUT AGAIN IT'S THE CAPITAL CAMPAIGN. THE CHARLOTTE PELTON AND THEN HOPEFULLY WE GET THE NAMING RIGHTS COMING IN FROM CORPORATE PARTNERS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING IT BUILT. THANK YOU. RACHELLE. ANY QUESTIONS. NO QUESTIONS. I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT THE PACKET THAT WE GOT WAS VERY COMPREHENSIVE AND THAT'S ONE REASON THERE WEREN'T TOO MANY QUESTIONS EVERYTHING WAS SPELLED OUT. AND I KNOW THAT THE ONE THING THAT I USED TO GET FROM THE RESIDENTS ESPECIALLY THE FAMILIES IS THAT DURING THE SUMMER WHEN IT'S REALLY HOT. OTHER THAN THE POOL THERE'S REALLY NO PLACE FOR THEM TO THE MOVIES TO TAKE THEIR KIDS. AND I THINK FOR A LOT OF US IT'S GETTING HOTTER AND HOTTER. AND THIS IS GOING TO ALLOW US TO BE INSIDE AND CONTINUE TO DO ALL THE THINGS WE LIKE TO DO. SO I'M IMPRESSED WITH THE WAY THE PROJECT WAS PUT TOGETHER. THANK YOU. MARIA. ONE I'D LIKE CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU ON HIRING CHARLOTTE PELTON. THAT WAS A VERY SMART MOVE. AND CHARLOTTE THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE TONIGHT. I ALSO WANTED TO ADD AN OBSERVATION OF. I'M GUESSING YOU'RE GONNA HAVE SOCCER TOURNAMENTS IN THE WINTERTIME THAT ARE GOING TO THERE'S PEOPLE UP NORTH THAT ARE GOING TO LOSE MONEY BECAUSE YOU GET TO PLAY SOCCER AND BE OUT IN THE SUN. I MEAN THE SAME TIME YOU GET TO GO TO THE BEACH IN THE AFTERNOON AND THEN I'M SORRY PLAY HOCKEY NOT SOCCER. WELL YOU KNOW IF YOU IF YOU GET RID OF THE ICE AND YOU WANT TO DO INDOOR SOCCER YOU CAN DO THAT TOO RIGHT. 
          AND I DO I DO NOTICE THAT YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO DE-ICE THE FACILITY. I HOPE YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT BECAUSE I'M GUESSING THAT COMES AT QUITE A COST. BUT THANK YOU. THIS HAS BEEN A VERY WELL THOUGHT OUT COMPREHENSIVE AND I WANT TO BE THE FIRST ONE TO DRIVE THE ZAMBONI. CARL. MATT GREAT QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. MATT BROUGHT UP THE POINT ON HOW YOU'RE GOING TO RAISE THE FUNDS AND WHEN YOU RAISE THESE FUNDS WHAT'S THE BENEFIT OF SOMEONE DONATING 10 MILLION. WHAT DO THEY GET FOR DONATION. IS THERE ANY BESIDES JUST A NAME ON THE WALL IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE? NAMING RIGHTS. THEY GET NOTHING. OH BUT ONCE YOU THERE'S NO INVESTMENT. THIS IS A DONATION LIKE DONATE TO A COLLEGE OR A CHURCH OR SCHOOL. AND WHEN YOU SEE OUR MARKETING MATERIALS WE'RE ABOUT TO LAUNCH YOUR WEB SITE. THE TAGLINE IS THIS IS A LEGACY. AND IT REALLY IS THE GENESIS OF THIS WHOLE PROJECT IS I'M ORIGINALLY FROM ST. LOUIS MISSOURI ST LOUIS BLUES CAME TO TOWN 52 YEARS AGO. THEY FINALLY WON A STANLEY CUP THIS PAST JUNE BUT 51 YEARS AGO MY FATHER AND A GROUP OF FAMILIES CREATED A 501(C)3 BUILT THE FIRST INDOOR ICE FACILITY IN THE CITY OF ST. LOUIS IS NOW A THRIVING 501(C)3 WITH THREE FACILITIES. MY OLDER BROTHER IS NOW RUNNING THAT FACILITY AS A VOLUNTEER TREASURER. HE'S DOING A CAPITAL CAMPAIGN TO TEAR DOWN THE 50 YEAR OLD FACILITY AND BUILD A MULTI-SPORT COMPLEX THAT'S WHERE THIS GENESIS CAME FROM. AND I CAN TELL YOU EVERY TIME I GO BACK THERE I GET GOOSE BUMPS WHEN I WALK IN THAT BECAUSE I KNOW WHAT THOSE FAMILIES DID OVER THOSE YEARS TO MAKE THAT FACILITY THRIVE AND THE SPORTS PROGRAMMING ETC. IT'S ABOUT BRINGING A LEGACY TO YOUR CHILDREN AND THEN ALSO YOUR GRANDCHILDREN. SO WHAT DO THEY GET OUT OF IT. THEY GET GOOSEBUMPS I HOPE AND THEY ALSO LEAVE A LEGACY FOR THEIR CHILDREN AND THEIR GRANDCHILDREN. WELL WE CAN SUPPLY THE CHILDREN. THAT'S FOR SURE. BUT I JUST HAVE 
          [01:55:03]
SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT IT AND THIS COUNCIL ALONG WITH MARCIE TINSLEY MAYOR MARCIE TINSLEY THANK YOU FOR COMING. OUR LEGACY IS WE AS A GROUP ALONG WITH STAFF WE GET TO BRING THE WHOLE CITY INTO THE FUTURE WITH THE PENNY SALES TAX WITH THE SOCCER FIELDS THE BASEBALL FIELDS THE MIRACLE DIAMONDS THAT WE'RE PUTTING OUT HERE FOR THE CHILDREN. NOT ONLY DO WE BRING THE CITY INTO THE FUTURE OUR PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT. THIS IS OUR LEGACY. WHAT YOU'RE DOING IS THE IS THE ICING ON THE CAKE. THIS IS THE LAST LITTLE HUB WE GET TO BE A PART OF. WHICH IS REALLY THE THE CHERRY ON TOP. IT IS SO. SOME OF THE CONVERSATIONS THAT I'VE HAD OVER A COUPLE YEARS IS WE DON'T HAVE PLACES TO PUT THE CHILDREN THAT ARE PLAYING BASKETBALL. 
          WE'RE GONNA BE PUTTING FIVE MILLION DOLLARS INTO OUR COMMUNITY CENTER ACROSS THE STREET. BUT WE DON'T HAVE PLACES TO PUT CHILDREN WITH BASKETBALL. COUPLE YEARS AGO WHEN THIS WAS JUST THE TIP OF THE CONVERSATION I HAD PEOPLE CALLING ME FROM CANADA TELLING ME ABOUT THE ICE SKATING HOCKEY TOURNAMENT THAT THEY'RE HAVING THEY HAVE TO GO DOWN TO LAKE WORTH. THAT'S THE ONLY SHEET THEY HAVE. AND IF WE COULD JUST DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT AND THINK WE'D BARELY JUST TOUCH THE SURFACE ON THIS DREAM AND I'M NOT AN ICE SKATER OR A HOCKEY FAN I'M A FOOTBALL GUY. YEAH. TOP TOP HEAVY BUT THE AMOUNT OF CHILDREN THAT ARE GOING TO COME IN FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY LIKE THEY DO FOR OUR BASEBALL AND THEY'RE GONNA COME HERE FOR HOCKEY IS SOMETHING THAT YOU GET TO BE A PART OF YOU THAT EVERYBODY GETS TO BE A PART OF IT. 
          AND THAT'S OUR LEGACY SO THERE'S NOTHING I CAN SAY BUT JUST GOOSE BUMPS YOU KNOW. 
          THAT'S IT. THANK YOU. SO I'M GLAD I GET THE LAST WORD ON THIS BECAUSE I WAS FIRST APPROACHED BY MIKE AND JEFF WHEN I FIRST GOT ON COUNCIL AND WHEN THEY ASKED ABOUT FINDING A PLACE FOR ICE RINKS IN THE CITY I THOUGHT THIS IS FANTASTIC ICE IN THE CITY. THERE ISN'T ANY OF COURSE THE CONVERSATION TURNED TO WELL YOU CAN'T IF YOU'RE GONNA GET A PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP ON CITY OR COUNTY LAND. YOU CAN'T JUST HAVE ICE RINKS. WE NEED INDOOR BASKETBALL. WE NEED INDOOR VOLLEYBALL. WE NEED A PLACE FOR THE KIDS TO GO IN THE SUMMERTIME BECAUSE WE'VE HEARD THE SAME STORY. WHILE WE WERE CAMPAIGNING JUST PRIOR TO THAT AND TO THEIR CREDIT THEY CAME THROUGH WITH EVERY REQUEST AND EVERY QUESTION THEY HAD. THEY WERE WIDE OPEN TO SUBJECT TO THIS SUGGESTION. JEFF CAME ON BOARD. I'M NOT SURE IF EVERYONE KNOWS BUT JEFF WAS ALSO THE MANAGING PARTNER I SUPPOSE OF INCREDIBLE ICE WHEN IT FIRST OPENED IN CORAL SPRINGS. SO THEY BROUGHT A WHOLE GROUP OF EXPERIENCE FOR THIS. IT WASN'T JUST A PIPE DREAM. I REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME I BROUGHT IT UP TO OUR SENIOR MANAGER HE KIND OF LOOKED AT ME AND I THINK HE HAD A LOOK OF INTRIGUE BUT  WHAT. WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE. WELL LET'S SEE IF THIS REALLY HAPPENS. BUT AS WE KEPT GOING FORWARD AND IT WAS REALLY HARD NOT TO PESTER HIM WITH THE CONVERSATIONS EVERY TIME I HAD MY MEETINGS WITH HIM BECAUSE I KEPT ASKING WHAT'S HAPPENING WHAT'S HAPPENING AND I KNOW THAT HE WAS WORKING VERY HARD AND YOU GUYS WERE VERY OPEN TO HEARING THE NEGOTIATION THE NEEDS OF THE CITY. WE DON'T WE CAN'T PUT OUR RESIDENTS AT RISK WHEN IT COMES TO EXPENSE BUT OUR RESIDENTS CERTAINLY WILL BE WILL BE THE ONES THAT WILL BENEFIT FROM IT. AND HE UNDERSTANDS THAT. AND HE WAS ABLE TO CONVEY TO YOU AND INSTEAD OF YOU GETTING FRUSTRATED YOU WERE WILLING TO BE A PART OF THAT. SO THANKS RON FOR FOR THAT. THANK YOU GUYS FOR A TWO YEAR PROCESS TO GET THROUGH ALL THIS BECAUSE THIS IS REALLY YOU KNOW THE CREAM OF THE CROP AND TODAY FOR ALL OF YOU NON HOCKEY FANS OUT THERE IS THE FIRST DAY OF THE PANTHERS SEASON. 
          SO THIS IS THE OLD HAT I BROUGHT THE WRONG ONE BUT I THINK EVERYONE KNOWS WHERE I STAND AND. YES I'M A PANTHERS FAN BUT I'M ALSO  A LEAFS FAN AND I'M A HUGE HOCKEY FAN AND IF THIS WAS HERE 15 YEARS AGO MY BOYS WOULDN'T BE SOCCER PLAYERS THEY'D PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN HOCKEY PLAYERS SO I'M PRETTY THRILLED. I KIND OF WENT OUT OF NOTICE HERE OUT OF PATH BECAUSE I WAS SUPPOSED TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING SO. CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. CAN I GET A MOTION AND A SECOND TO APPROVE.
