The Resolution was read by title only.
Anthony Soroka, City Attorney, said last Monday, he received a letter alleging the campaign contribution disclosure
form submitted by the top ranked proposer was insufficient and after review, he issued a memo which is included in
the backup. Also, he spoke with the Elected Officials individually about their options based on the City’s Code.
Furthermore, he received a memo from counsel of Seawood Builders in response to his memo, which was provided
to the Clerk today.
Samantha Gillyard, City Clerk, advised that the memo was being e-mailed at Mr. Soroka’s request.
Mr. Soroka said there was a cone of silence in effect, thus, staff had to wait to send the information to the Commission.
Seawood’s counsel is on the line and would like to present their position; notwithstanding, the memo will be made a
part of the record of the agenda item.

CONSENT - AGREEMENTS & EXPENDITURE REQUESTS – CONTINUED
Mayor Ganz opened the public hearing.
Ms. Gillyard provided an overview of the e-mails received in connection with Item 4.
Alice Taylor, CEO Broward Health North, supporting Ed and Betty Masi, as well as the project.
Richard Hopper, 409 Goolsby Boulevard, Deerfield Beach, supporting Seawood Builders and the project. He
further advised that an oversight of campaign contributions should not have any bearing on the proposal.
Dave Noderer, no address provided, supporting Betty Masi and Seawood Builders.
Adam Corin, 1500 E. Hillsboro Boulevard, Suite 206, Deerfield Beach, supporting Betty Masi and Seawood
Builders; he also recognized her integrity and character.
Rick Jorden, 111 Jim Moran Boulevard, Deerfield Beach, supporting Seawood Builders for the project and outlined
his experiences with Ed and Betty Masi.
Jeff Anderson, Stor-All, 141 SE 1st Street, Deerfield Beach, supporting Seawood Builders for the project and Betty
Masi. He also asked that there not be any backlash for not listing the political contribution.
Audra Durham, Director of Sales & Marketing, Wyndham, 2096 NE 2nd Street, Deerfield Beach, supporting Betty
for the project, as well as her dedication and passion for the City.
Glenn Sullivan, 2377 Deer Creek Trail, Deerfield Beach, asked that the bid be rejected for insufficiency in the bid
response. He made several suggestions: approve the second bidder, reject all bids and restart, City Commission to
re-rank the second and third bidders or send ranking back to the evaluation committee.
Lastly, Ms. Gillyard advised that the campaign contributions are outlined in the agenda backup.
Scott Backman, 14 SE 4th Street, Boca Raton, representing Seawood Builders, provided an overview of the bid
process for the design-build contract for the Center for Active Aging, whereas, Seawood responded last March and
the submittal included a list of several campaign contributions which was required in the RFP application, as well as
the City’s Code. Upon the initial submittal package, the evaluation committee selected Seawood as one of three
responsive bidders that moved into the second phase of the RFP process. Seawood is the top responding and
qualified bidder, as the backup reflects, by more than 100 points and over half a million dollars lower than the second
ranked qualified response. Mr. Backman commented on allegations submitted last week and Betty Masi receiving a
call from the New Pelican regarding this issue, that a single contribution was left off. After checking the files, the
clerical error was discovered and although three (3) contributions were noted, one (1) was left off. He said there were
contributions from Ed and Betty Masi individually and a contribution from Seawood both to a commissioner’s
campaign. One was disclosed, but one was not.
Continuing, Mr. Backman said there was nothing done intentionally as it relates to the backup associated with the
issue. The Commission is faced with deciding whether this clerical oversight of one (1) out of four (4) campaign
contributions is what the Code calls a minor irregularity versus something egregious in a finding that Seawood
attempted to improperly influence the outcome of the RFP process. Giving those things, it is instrumental in the
decision that will be made this evening. Thereafter, he explained what a minor irregularity refers to; a variation from
the competitive solicitation which does not affect the proposed price or give the offeror an advantage or benefit not
enjoyed by other offerors or does not adversely affect the fundamental fairness of the competitive solicitation process.
This is the definition in the City’s Code and based on the facts presented, none of the circumstances exist. Mr.
Backman continued to outline various aspects of the Code related to conflicts of interest, impropriety in the
procurement process, kickbacks and others that would influence the outcome of the procurement; none of those
circumstances exist. He advised that the campaign contributions are provided through the campaign treasurer’s
report and is a matter of public record and can be found in the Clerk’s Office. He said it is their position that the
missing information can only be viewed as a minor irregularity as defined by the City’s Code, and according to Section
138-130 [s/b 38-130] giving the City Commission full discretion to waive minor irregularities. Lastly, Mr. Backman
provided a brief history of Ed & Betty Masi’s contributions and time in the City and that with all their years in the City,

they have never been selected as a general contractor on a City contract.
Betty Masi, 1617 SE 6th Street, Deerfield Beach, said she and her husband have lived and worked in the City for
35 years and their company, Seawood Builders, has been here for about the same amount of time. She said this was
supposed to be a simple consent agenda item; wherein, little to no discussion was presumed. Nevertheless, Seawood
was ranked #1 by over 100 points and offered a bid $550,000 less than the #2 ranked firm. There would not have
been much to discuss except the Center for Active Aging being a great project for the City with a highly regarded local
contractor doing the work. She said she never imagined that a single search on her accounting database, which
provided the wrong answer, would have led to a discussion about her, her husband and their company’s moral
character. It is unfathomable that their company may be disqualified because of a clerical error; it would be a harsh
disproportionate punishment for an error. While Seawood disclosed campaign contributions, they failed to list one (1)
due to oversight; however, there was no unfair advantage over the offerors. Had the additional $500 campaign
contribution been listed, it would not have changed the outcome. Ms. Masi explained that there was no reason to
hide a single contribution, but the disruption is celebrated by very few who would like to destroy this opportunity. In
closing, she said they are here for the long haul, always working to make the community they live, work and play the
best it can be.
Mayor Ganz closed the public hearing.
Vice Mayor Parness said he did not receive a contribution from Betty Masi or Seawood Builders and his comments
have no reflection on anyone who did. He outlined the possible decisions the Commission could make based on a
mistake; however, he does not want to send a message that the Commission are sticklers and unfriendly to
businesses that have been in the City for years, as it may discourage other businesses from working with the City.
This is not a major violation or attempt to deceive the City, but a clerical error. Therefore, he suggested awarding the
contract to Seawood, as it will save half a million dollars and because they were 100 points higher than the other
bidders.
Commissioner Preston said this is a tough situation, but the Commission must consider what is right. Although there
is no nefarious act, there is a process in place and with this bid, there are three (3) bidders, whereby, the Commission
can consider the other bidders in an effort to move forward. Thereafter, he commented on various measures the
Commission may take; awarding the contract, start the process over or award the next bidder. Nevertheless, the
Commission must think about the residents.
Commissioner Hudak said he has thoroughly researched this topic and if the contract is awarded to the second bidder,
it will cost the taxpayers $500,000; therefore, that is not the proper course of action. He said he was informed that
the other applicants [bidders] had not responded that they were not given a fair opportunity and asked if that were still
accurate.
David Santucci, City Manager, replied that to the best of his knowledge, no correspondence has been received from
the other bidders.
Commissioner Hudak said they are the most adversely affected in this situation and did not see fit to bring forth any
claims. Commissioner Hudak said he does not believe Seawood Builders received an unfair advantage by not
disclosing a campaign contribution. He said he does not know of any corporation that would intentionally hide a $500
campaign contribution to lose a potential $11.5 million bid. He commented on the memo received from the City
Attorney and asked that it be discussed to determine why mechanisms were implemented and whether the error falls
under an ethical violation or a clerical error.
Commissioner Drosky said the City Attorney’s memo outlines four (4) options; however, there is not an option for the
City Manager to negotiate with the second bidder to take the first bidder’s price as it is not an option per the City’s
Code. Thereafter, he listed the options: 1) approve the recommendation of the evaluation committee; 2) reject all
bids; 3) City Commission re-rank proposals; or 4) send back to evaluation committee for further review. Commissioner
Drosky said he does not favor approving the recommendation because of the City’s Code of Ethics which is the
strongest in Broward County. He said he cannot overlook the error even though it was minimal and unintentional in
his view. Additionally, he objected to option 3 because he sat on the audit committee when the City auditor was being
selected and the amount of information involved in these selections is extremely voluminous. Whereas, re-ranking

without having reviewed the information in detail is not fair to any of the applicants and is an injustice to the process.
Option 4 would not accomplish much as the committee is not in tune with myriad concerns ethically or politically and
would most likely to the point system stick. Though option 2 is not high on his list, he is not in favor of spending an
additional half million to prove a point.
Continuing, Commissioner Drosky said if the bids are redone, there is no guarantee that the number one applicant
would be first again. Additionally, there may be more applicants than the three (3); whereby, the bid for the Tigner
Center closed in March and there were six (6) bidders. Moreover, with the economy, private firms may potentially
want to bid as it is hard to find work in the private sector. In closing, Commissioner Drosky asked that options 2 and
4 be further discussed.
Mr. Soroka provided excerpts from the City’s Code regarding procurement practices and ethics. He said after
reviewing the documents outlined in his memo, he did not find any evidence of deceit or intentional misconduct by
anyone. As such, the direction he is providing abides by the City Code. The campaign disclosure requirement in
Section 2-505(a) requires that any applicant submit a disclosure listing campaign contributions to all sitting
commissioners from the past four (4) years as well as contributions of any individual members of an LLC. It is his
opinion based on the evidence, that for a particular contribution to the Mayor, two (2) payments should have been
disclosed instead of one (1) and it was acknowledged that it was a clerical error. Section f states that failure to
disclose shall be a violation of the ethics code and shall be grounds for the City Commission to void or rescind any
approval or contract.
Continuing, Mr. Soroka said regardless of whether it was intentional or not, there is no distinction in the Code between
intention or gravity and Section f indicates it is a violation of the Code. If voiding or rescinding were the only provision
in the Code to address a violation, he would agree it is grounds, but there are additional provisions which he outlined.
Section 38-141(2) states that the City shall not execute a contract if there has been a violation of this section, any
ethics provision of a procurement solicitation, or any local, state or federal law, including but not limited to a number
of stipulations. Further, Mr. Soroka said he agrees with Mr. Backman that the violation is not outlined in 38-141(2) af (see attached) and may not rise to that level or be egregious; however, he is limited to what is in the Code and the
reasonable interpretation. Whereby, it states the City shall not execute a contract if there has been a violation of any
ethics provision for procurement solicitation for any local law. He advised that the four (4) options provided to the
Commission are derived from Section 38-127(4)(e); option 4, though not numbered, is the last line of the section
which reads “the City Commission reserves the right to re-rank in accordance with Section 38-130”. In closing, Mr.
Soroka reiterated the options for the Commission and said if the Commission determines there has been a violation
of 2-505, that the contract should not be entered into. Thereafter, he entertained questions of the Commission.
After a brief Q&A with Vice Mayor Parness, Vice Mayor Parness recommended starting the process from scratch as
he does not think it’s appropriate to remove a bidder and not provide an opportunity to correct the mistake which
would be accomplished by a new bid and save a half million dollars over the next bidder. Thereafter, he motioned to
reject all bids.
Commissioner Hudak referenced the excerpts provided by Mr. Soroka, specifically Section 2-505(2)(f) which states
“failure to disclose in compliance with this section shall be a violation of the ethics code and shall be grounds for the
City Commission to void or rescind any approval or contract”.
Mr. Soroka explained his understanding of Commissioner Hudak’s stance; however, in Section 38-141(2), the Code
outlines any violation of local law, ethics or procurement solicitation, the City shall not execute a contract. In Mr.
Backman’s opinion, they don’t believe 38-141 is not applicable.
Commissioner Hudak asked if the vote by the Commission should be based on their belief that it is an ethical violation.
Mr. Soroka said that is not the only option, and if the Commission feels the proposer violated 2a, it is his opinion that
a contract should not be entered into based on the provision he outlined.
Mayor Ganz said the omission was a campaign contribution to him. Thereafter, he commented on Deerfield Beach
officials being removed from office by the Governor in 2008/2009, which is when there were ethical issues. He
explained that the attack is not about ethics or morals but is political. Nevertheless, Mayor Ganz said a mistake was

made and believes it to be honest based on the Masi’s character; however, it is a violation of the ethics code. There
were situations in the past where the ethics in the City were a joke and many things were going on which is why he
supported the ethics code. Though this was a technical error, and not unethical, it’s still a violation. He said he would
have a hard time moving forward and just rejecting; nevertheless, with the options provided, he cannot agree with
approving it. Mayor Ganz said the rules are written to do what is in the best interest of the residents and taxpayers;
therefore, throwing out almost $550,000 on a legality is not practical.
Continuing, Mayor Ganz said three (3) firms came forward in good faith and while one firm has been attacked it is
only because the firm supports him and others on the Board. Mayor Ganz said he does not believe re-ranking will
make a difference, as the second firm would likely be selected, but they are a half million dollars higher than the first
ranked. In light of these conditions, Mayor Ganz said the bid process should be restarted. Mayor Ganz said the
attacks against the Masi’s must stop as people have asked why local firms do not bid on projects and provisions were
added to encourage participation. He commented on the character assassination on the Masi’s contributions to the
City as well as the belief that there is something nefarious happening with him and the Masi’s. The contributions
provided by the Masi’s is outlined in the campaign treasurer’s reports which are online, whereby, they are not trying
to hide anything but made a clerical error. Mayor Ganz recommended going back out to bid as it would be in the best
interest of the residents. Lastly, he explained how important the Center for Active Aging is as it provides care for 200
people and is in need of renovations.
Prior to the vote, Commissioner Drosky asked if all the bids are rejected, would others be allowed to bid.
Mr. Soroka said if no condition is being added, it would be a new open solicitation.
Vice Mayor Parness said the more people that bid the better chance at saving money for the City.
There was a brief discussion clarifying the motion and whether a new proposal would be open to all or the only three
(3) original bidders.
Vice Mayor Parness clarified that his motion was meant to start a new process and open bids for all.
Commissioner Preston expressed concern with restarting the process as there are other bidders who did their due
diligence and it does not appear that those bidders are being considered in the process. Nevertheless, he
understands the consideration due to the price of the bid.
Mayor Ganz said over $500,000 and 100 points separates the first and second bidder and if they were asked to get
their price closer, it is a lot to ask as it is likely they would have cut it when the bid was submitted. Further, negotiating
down the line would be unfortunate for everyone and he would rather inconvenience those involved in the process
instead of shortchanging the public.
Mr. Santucci said there is an option to just go back out for the RFP and not both the RFQ and RFP. He explained that
the original RFQ was done first because at the time of releasing the RFQ, staff did not have the complete design
criteria package and saved time during that process by getting the prequalifications completed while the design criteria
package was being finalized. When the RFQ was being approved by Commission, the RFP was ready to go out at
that time. It would be feasible to be quicker in the RFP process if the Commission chooses that direction.
Commissioner Preston agreed with Mayor Ganz that the residents should not be shortchanged; nevertheless, there
is a process in place and no one knows what will happen if the project is rebid. He asked if the City has any leverage
in regard to the other remaining companies.
Mr. Soroka clarified that the question is finding out if the second bidder can close the gap on the $500,000. He replied
that there is no way of knowing if the second bidder will reduce their price. If the motion passes, the second bidder
could resubmit and possibly lower their price then.
Mayor Ganz responded to questions and comments posed by Commissioner Preston; however, he does not agree
with leveraging someone to cut their price. Also, he said the best solution to the problem presented is to restart the
process as competition is always a good thing.

Commissioner Drosky said while he understands Commissioner Preston’s comments and sympathizes with the other
bidders. He asked Commissioner Preston what he recommends, as there are four (4) distinct options and trying to
ask the bidder to reduce their price was not included. Due to the strong ethics ordinance, that option was left out to
uphold the Commission’s ethics which would be disrupted if it were allowed to skip the first ranked and go to the
second for any reason.
Commissioner Preston opined that the remaining bidders should be a part of the conversation and moving forward
pushes them aside and takes them out of the process. However, if the process starts over, there will be a ranking
system and if something happens, they will not be a part of the conversation.
Vice Mayor Parness said the Code does not outline what Commissioner Preston suggested. Though it provides

COMMENTS BY ADMINISTRATION AND LEGAL
CITY MANAGER
COVID-19 – David Santucci, City Manager, said it appears that people are becoming eager with getting things back
to the new norm. The federal government has come out with a Reopen America phased approach which gives each
state a lot of leeway on how to accomplish reopening, as every state has unique conditions. The Governor has put
together a task force to talk about how to reopen and what it looks like while the COVID virus is ongoing, but still
functioning as an economy and community. Locally, those plans are underway, so what is being referred to as the
quad-counties, Monroe, Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties, are all communicating to devise a phased
plan and what it will look like.

COMMENTS BY ADMINISTRATION AND LEGAL – CONTINUED
Continuing, Mr. Santucci said the beaches in Jacksonville have reopened, but Deerfield Beach is vastly different than
Duval County as their cases are at 901 and Broward County has over 4,000 cases at this point. Therefore, what is
in the best interest of this area is being considered along with close coordination with other counties so there is a
unified regional approach as to what is reopened and when. There will be nuances in the City to address, but will be
done in unison with neighbors and coordination with other city administrators, as well as the departments. The
planning process in underway, but expectations should be managed as this will not occur within a week or two as
there is no time table. Reopening is not based on time, but on the number of cases and what the curve looks like as
it must be downward in order to move forward through phasing.
Additionally, Mr. Santucci said if there is abuse or people not paying attention to the restrictions throughout the phases,
and numbers begin to escalate, the City will revert back. It is a cautious approach and is not based on what is an
essential business, but is viewed from a perspective of risk. Businesses as it relates to social distancing and what
COVID means has different sets of risks and circumstances that must be addressed to open and under different
circumstances as it was prior to the virus.
CITY ATTORNEY – No Report.

COMMENTS BY MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSIONERS
COMMISSIONER HUDAK

DISTRICT 1

COVID-19 – Commissioner Hudak said two weeks ago the University of Washington projected that the State of Florida
would have over 1,000 deaths from the virus and as of this morning there are 839. Commissioner Hudak continued
to outline the number of deaths resulting from the virus, the previous case totals and increase of current cases since
the last City Commission Meeting: 556 deaths; the State has over 27,000 cases an increase of 12,991; Miami-Dade
- 909,840, an increase of 4,843; Broward County - 4,149 cases, an increase of almost 2,000; Palm Beach County 2,296, an increase of 1,160; Duval County, had a total of 901 cases with over 957,000 residents. Other data included
Fort Lauderdale: 922 cases with a population of 182,000 people. He explained that Deerfield Beach is different than
Duval and while he understands the residents want to open the beach, patience is needed. He also commented on
Deerfield Beach having 86 cases, an increase of 51 since the last meeting. Nevertheless, it is lower than Boca Raton,
Delray Beach and Pompano Beach. He thanked the residents as their actions are working, but asked that they
continue to be patient.
Business Assistance - Commissioner Hudak thanked Ace Hardware, Winn Dixie and Publix for helping the first
responders as they have done special things for them.
Candle of Hope – Commissioner Hudak said the Candle of Hope is by Hillsboro and Federal Highway, which was
presented by a local artist Tony Vilavoca to support the first responders. He said the first responders are doing a
tremendous job and thanked them for keeping everyone safe. Lastly, he encouraged everyone to remain strong.
COMMISSIONER PRESTON

DISTRICT 2

Online Church Services – Commissioner Preston thanked the district churches for having online services, including
bible study. He thanked them for following the rules and encouraged everyone to follow the social distancing
guidelines.
COVID-19 – Commissioner Preston said there is still a lot that is being unveiled, but said there will be a new normal.
He then commented on two (2) parents serving as first responders who lost their 5-year old daughter due to the
virus. He said it is very serious and at some point, there will be a new normal. Further, the City is doing a good job
dealing with the virus. He also asked that everyone support City staff as they are doing as much as possible, as
well as the local businesses because of their loyalty and the difficulties they face. In closing, Commissioner Preston
said everyone will get through this difficult period and thanked his colleagues, City Manager, and City Clerk as they
are doing a great job.

COMMENTS BY MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSIONERS – CONTINUED
VICE MAYOR PARNESS

DISTRICT 3

Compliance Issues – Vice Mayor Parness said certain businesses are allowing people to enter without masks,
whereas, larger businesses are enforcing face coverings as no one knows who is or is not sick. The law needs to be
enforced as people who do not believe they are sick could possibly endanger others.
COVID-19 Testing – Vice Mayor Parness said testing is available by appointment at the Festival Flea Market; the
average waiting time is only 20 minutes per car. It is important that if someone is not feeling well or someone you
know to get tested. He discouraged going to an emergency room as it is possible to get sicker there than staying
home.
COMMISSIONER DROSKY

DISTRICT 4

CDC Guidelines – Commissioner Drosky thanked every resident for following the orders to stay at home and using
face coverings.
Local Businesses – Commissioner Drosky also encouraged the support of local businesses and though it is a sacrifice,
it doesn’t go unnoticed.
Thank You – Commissioner Drosky thanked the first responders and those who are serving during this challenging
time. He also thanked the Commission for being studious and contributing to the topics discussed this evening.
Saturday Office Hours – Commissioner Drosky said he is accepting phone or Zoom appointments on Saturday, May
2, 2020; he provided his e-mail for contact, [email protected].
Local Bridge Work – Commissioner Drosky said there are five (5) bridges in the City being repaired, starting today
with the Deer Creek Country Club Boulevard bridge that includes painting, recoating, cleaning, rebar, sidewalk repair.
There may be minor traffic disruptions in the area, but the work will start in District 4 then other parts of the City.
Lastly, Commissioner Drosky encouraged the public to stay safe and strong.
MAYOR BILL GANZ
Current Conditions – Mayor Ganz said he is impressed with frontline staff, but people have been impatient with social
distancing. Also, though everyone is concerned with the local economy, he agreed that the local businesses should
be supported, but it is disappointing that people wish for others to lose their jobs.
COVID-19 – Mayor Ganz agreed that the number of cases need to be watched and thanked Vice Mayor Parness for
helping secure the Festival Flea Market as a testing site. Furthermore, he commended Commissioners Preston and
Hudak for their assistance with the food giveaway. He thanked the entire Commission for their efforts and expressed
his gratitude for serving with them. Additionally, Mayor Ganz warned that people are trying to exploit the citizens by
claiming to sell masks as well as price gouging and asked that it be brought to the City’s attention if it occurs.
Local Changes – Mayor Ganz said the City is tied with the Governor’s Orders as well as the surrounding counties,
but Commissioner Lamar Fisher has been trying to work on separating from Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties
as Broward starts to slowly rollout policy changes which will be based on cases. Mayor Ganz said he would much
rather save a life and look out for the citizens, whereas, no one should sacrifice their health because money can be
replaced, but not a life. He said he hopes this can be overcome.
Mayoral Meetings – Mayor Ganz said he has been meeting with mayors in northeast Broward County and making
decisions in unison. He thanked Mayors Chris Benson, Glenn Troast, and Rex Hardin for their communication and
keeping each other informed. Thereafter, he commented on Tiara East being terrorized by over 50 motorcycles riding
down A1A and destroying their property, and although they were in Boca and Delray, it was not communicated to
Deerfield Beach. Additionally, in speaking with Boca Raton’s Mayor, they had a meeting tonight to discuss opening
their boat ramp for commercial fishermen; nonetheless, communication will help roll out a plan that will make sense
for everyone.

Potential Considerations – Mayor Ganz asked that everyone start thinking about how the 4th of July event will be
handled. He also commented on possible changes to the pay plan that will be fair to the taxpayers, but also takes
care of the employees. There has also been concern about parking revenue when the main concern is closing the
beach and protecting residents. Those decisions are being made now and staff is working toward the changes. In
closing, Mayor Ganz encouraged everyone to be safe and kind to others.

GENERAL ITEMS
1.

Presentation by Carnahan, Proctor & Cross (CPC) regarding the S-Curve Utility Undergrounding
and Lighting Preliminary Feasibility Report.

Kris Mory, Director of Economic Development, provided a brief overview of the item. Thereafter, she introduced Bill
Barbaro, P.E., Carnahan, Proctor & Cross.
Mr. Barbaro stated that the study began with the underground utilities and lights associated with the poles; whereas,
streetscape improvements were also evaluated. Thereafter, a PowerPoint presentation was displayed. The project
location will be from NE 1st Street and extend north through the S-Curve, along A1A to NE 4th Court. CPC identified
an area of limits for the undergrounding of the overhead utilities, whereby, each of the utilities were able to stay
within the same corridor, which helps with the cost. However, FP&L will make the final decision as to where
connections are made. Additionally, the boundary for the streetscape and lighting improvements will begin on the
southern property of Wings. Further, he reiterated that the scope of services was undergrounding the overhead
utilities but also allows for streetscape improvements and improvements to the lighting to match what is being
proposed for the Kirk Cottrell Pavilion. Thereafter, Mr. Barbaro displayed photographs of the current location.
Continuing, Mr. Barbaro said the streetscape improvements will repair what is disturbed with the addition of pavers
and improve the experience through the corridor from the parking garage to the Pier, and around through the SCurve to the north. The intent is to install Type F curbing on the turns so there are no drive-way entrances, which
would increase pedestrian safety and protection. There are also areas that will be upgraded with better landscaping.
The proposed lighting improvements include the installation of decorative lighting through the S-Curve and
pedestrian bollard lighting; photographs of the proposed bollard lighting were displayed. Further, he said CPC
identified the utilities that are included on the pole, besides FP&L, and contacted Comcast, AT&T and Crown Castle
Fiber which is a private fiber optic provider. CPC worked with each utility to determine the feasibility of
undergrounding it and associated costs. It was determined that most of the commercial and residential
developments are fed from the back of the buildings, which will limit the disturbance for reconnection and
requirements to do service.
Moreover, Mr. Barbaro said a contingency is included in the report, whereas, the costs would either be reduced or
utilized for unforeseen elements. Further, the budget for restoration includes any sidewalk/roadway damage, should
it occur, while the utility is installed. Thereafter, he displayed photographs of the street lighting. He explained that
there is a line item for each of the lights that were designed; whereas, a photometric design was done to meet
FDOT lighting requirements. He advised that the area requiring turtle friendly lighting consists of additional poles,
which is why the cost is higher. The associated costs are for the load center, FP&L service and contingency. Mr.
Barbaro said CPC worked with a manufacturer to do a photometric design and layout for the bollards. The cost for
the bollards includes load center and services, as well as a Pangea light controller to control them.
Lastly, Mr. Barbaro said the overall budget summary for the scope of work in the feasibility report was $1.3 million,
whereby, the addition of the alternative lighting and site improvements would increase the overall cost to $1.7 million.
Further, once CPC receives a notice to proceed, FP&L and the other utilities will be notified to begin design work
for their undergrounding, which can take up to three (3) months. At the same time, CPC will begin drafting up
designs for the streetscape improvements. Once all the plans are permitted and ready, execution will commence.
Mr. Barbaro said throughout the process the schedule will be updated and provided to the CRA staff.
In response to Mr. Hudak’s questions, Mr. Barbaro replied that CPC is an approved contractor and sub-consultant
for FP&L and has performed services associated with private developments in Palm Beach, Cooper City, etc.
In response to Mr. Hudak’s questions, Mark DiMascio, CRA Project Manager, replied that staff has been working
with the supplier for the company that manufacturers bollard lighting, which distributes nationwide. Further, he said
the bollards have not been approved; however, staff is working with Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation (FWC)
to do so. He said the designs have been given to FWC and feedback was provided; nevertheless, staff is hoping
for approval so they can be included in the project.
In response to Chair Ganz’s question, Mr. DiMascio replied that FWC is not completely in favor of the color changing
bollards, but they are not completely against them either; nevertheless, the proposed bollards are color changing
and will be controlled by an astrological timer that may help with FWC’s decision. Also, there are only seven (7)

bollards at the Kirk Cottrell Pavilion; therefore, staff is hoping to use these type bollards as a pilot before installing
them elsewhere.
Mr. Barbaro clarified that the timer and bollards were included in the overall budget.
In response to Mr. Hudak’s question, Mr. DiMascio replied that the timer does add to the cost of each bollard but is
necessary in order to get approval from FWC.
In response to Vice Chair Drosky’s question, Mr. Barbaro replied that the purple on the map of the S-Curve additional
site improvements represents proposed curbing, the green represents proposed landscaping and the orange
represents the proposed pavers.
Chair Ganz asked that the additional curbing not take away parking from the businesses.
Mr. Barbaro said the curbing, as well as the light pole placement will not affect any parking. Further, should the
project be done to the full extent it will remain within budget.
In response to Vice Chair Drosky’s question, Mr. Barbaro replied that sea level rise is a concern but many of the
transformers that serve these businesses are already pole or pad mounted on side streets; therefore, this project
would not be affected.
Chair Ganz opened the public hearing.
Mark Dreyer, 884 SE 19th Avenue, Deerfield Beach, spoke in favor of the project and asked how much light will
be provided when it is not turtle season and how many lights will be added to Ocean Way.
Ms. Mory replied that there are seven (7) bollards associated with the Kirk Cottrell Pavilion, 237 overall on Ocean
Way and 90 associated with this project; therefore, it will be much brighter. She said if approved, the lights will be
darker during turtle season and changed to white during the offseason. Furthermore, staff ordered a prototype of
the bollard and will notify everyone accordingly. Additionally, this project only includes the bollards on the S-Curve.
Elizabeth Harrington, 1631 Riverview Road, Deerfield Beach, spoke in favor of the project. She asked for the
project’s timeframe and for clarification on how the wires and transformers would be stored, i.e. in waterproof
containers.
Mark Seward, 1627 Riverview Road, Deerfield Beach, suggested dimming the lights at night as it not only disrupts
the turtles but people living on the beach.
In response to a public comment, Chair Ganz clarified that this project consists of putting the overhead utilities
underground, whereby, the proposed bollards on the S-Curve have been included into the scope should they be
approved by FWC. Thereafter, a map was displayed outlining the proposed project. Thereafter, Chair Ganz closed
the public hearing.
Mr. Parness spoke in favor of the proposed project.
Mr. Barbaro stated that the project will take six (6) months to complete. Further, he reiterated that the transformers
points of connection are already at ground level and will be in waterproof casing; therefore, waterproofing is not an
issue.
MOTION was made by Mr. Parness, seconded by Mr. Hudak, to approve the S-Curve Utility Undergrounding and
Lighting Preliminary Feasibility Report.

Prior to the vote, Ms. Mory explained that the Board has two (2) projects before them; whereby, both cannot be
completed at the same time. She suggested that the Board make a motion supporting the direction of this project
and after the second presentation, the Board can vote on which project they wish to move forward with first.
There were no objections.

Presentation by Bermello Ajamil regarding Phase II of the Sullivan Park Expansion Project.

Kris Mory, Director of Economic Development, provided a brief overview of the project. She stated that over the
course of four (4) weekends, staff administered in person interviews at Sullivan Park, as well as online surveys. To
further assist with redevelopment options, staff hired Bermello Ajamil, who planned and designed Phase I of Sullivan
Park, to create a series of design options. Further, she said there were 411 participants who completed the survey
in the park and the overall results were as follows: community facility – 47%; green space – 19%; free space &
public art – 8%; and other ideas – 26%. She explained that the survey was broken down further, to outline residents
and nonresidents, whereby, 47% of residents want a community center; and 35% want open space. Thereafter,
she introduced Kirk Olney, Landscape Architect, Bermello Ajamil.
Mr. Olney provided a brief overview of his knowledge of Sullivan Park. Thereafter, he displayed video design options
and advised that there are also snap shots of each option.
In response to Mr. Hudak’s question, Ms. Mory replied that the goal is for the Board to provide direction on which
option they wish to pursue. Once decided, staff will move forward with a feasibility study to provide the Board with
a cost estimate.
Thereafter, Ms. Mory displayed photographs and provided a brief overview of the pros and cons of each option.
The pros for Option 1: expanding the park into more greenspace, which would be low cost and low maintenance to
the landscaping. The cons: los of CRA offices, meeting space, 20 parking spaces, as well as the vision of the site.
The pros for Option 2: aesthetic improvement; continued activation of current site; provide space for CRA staff who
could pay for ongoing maintenance; public meeting and activity space; and programming partnership. The cons:
loss of at least seven (7) parking spaces and no additional greenspace. The pros for Option 3 are the same as
Option 2 plus an elevated building would provide additional parking. The cons for Option 3 include an incrementally
larger construction budget than Option 2 and additional maintenance. The pros for Option 4 are the same as Option
2 and 3 plus it would activate the site more because it would be built over the existing parking lot and would provide
greenspace at the entrance. She explained that Option 4 would be the most difficult to design due to it being over
the existing parking lot.
In response to Mr. Hudak’s question, Ms. Mory replied that the lease with FDOT allows us to use their parking
spaces for special events only.
Mr. Preston said if the CRA offices are not housed within the new building, staff would have to rent out a facility,
which would be costly.
Chair Ganz opened the public hearing.
Joseph Castoro, 1631 Riverview Road, Deerfield Beach, said the cost to maintain the new building, as well as
the cost for utilities would be comparable to the CRA offices renting a different facility. He understands a lot of
money went into purchasing the building; therefore, he is in favor of Option 2 as it is one-story. It would be the least
expensive to construct, could house the CRA and would provide a community center. Lastly, he advised that he
has a petition signed by over 300 residents who are in favor of a one-story building.
Peggy Ross, 103 NE 19th Avenue, Deerfield Beach, asked that the plans include expanding movement between
the Cove and Sullivan Park. She spoke in favor of having an educational center for children and stated that a twostory building would not be any higher than the bridge; therefore, she supports Option 2 or 3.
Nancy Rinderman, 1631 Riverview Road, Deerfield Beach, thanked staff for all their efforts. Thereafter, she
spoke in favor of Option 2.
Noa Gordon Lerner, 1631 Riverview Road, Deerfield Beach, spoke in favor of Option 2, and requested that the
facility include a children’s museum. Further, she said Sullivan Park is a wonderful addition, but it needs to be
patrolled better at night.

GENERAL ITEMS - CONTINUED
Elizabeth Harrington, 1631 Riverview Road, Deerfield Beach, said there are parking issues at Sullivan Park
during events and commented on the increase in vandalism, i.e. slashed tires. Thereafter, she commented on how
people use their parking spaces. She spoke in opposition to Option 4, as residents do not want a building further
east because it will cause more traffic and parking issues. Ms. Harrington spoke in favor to Option 2 and requested
that the S-Curve project be completed prior to this project. Lastly, she asked for clarification on the use of the
community center.
Dean Simpson, 1629 Riverview Road, Deerfield Beach, asked that something be done to the sidewalk on the
Hillsboro bridge, as the area is unsafe, and this project will increase pedestrian traffic.
Mark Dreyer, 884 SE 19th Avenue, Deerfield Beach, spoke in favor of a facility, as additional green space may
create more issues, i.e. crime, security, etc.; thereafter, he spoke in favor of Option 2.
Mark Seward, 1627 Riverview Road, Deerfield Beach, said money will need to be spent no matter where the
CRA offices are housed. Thereafter, he commented on the pros and cons for each option. He said the City has
enough buildings but does not have enough parks; therefore, he spoke in favor of Option 1.
Kevin Kolinsky, 1754 SE 3rd Court, Deerfield Beach, spoke in favor of Option 4, as it provides greenspace and
a facility.
Nancy Rinderman, 1631 Riverview Road, Deerfield Beach, asked if a traffic survey has been completed for
Hillsboro and Riverview Road.
Chair Ganz closed the public hearing.
Ms. Mory replied that a traffic study was not done, whereas, these are conceptual designs that are not fully vetted.
Chair Ganz said this facility will not be a money maker for the City, as that is not the intent for any of the community
facilities. Also, alcohol is not permitted at city facilities unless there is a special event within the park itself. Further,
he said the City has much more control as to what can and cannot be done in city owned buildings.
David Santucci, City Manager, reiterated that alcohol is not allowed at city facilities. Thereafter, he provided
examples of how the facilities are used, i.e. birthday parties, baby showers, classes, etc. He said the Hillsboro
Technology Center closes at 10:00 p.m. and consists of hurricane proof windows, which will be required for this
facility.
Mr. Parness said the facility should consist of a community center and CRA offices; therefore, he spoke in favor of
Option 4.
Mr. Hudak spoke in opposition to alcohol being served even during special events, as it could create issues and
asked that staff investigate. Further, he spoke in favor of a children’s interactive learning center to tie into Deerfield
Island Park, Sullivan Park and the underwater camera. Mr. Hudak said Option 4 provides greenspace and housing
an interactive center for children would tie into Sullivan Park more; however, if a children’s learning center is not
included in the plans, then Options 2 & 3 would work. Nevertheless, he spoke in favor of having some type of facility.
Mr. Preston said the first priority should be the people that live in that area, as we don’t want to make them
uncomfortable; therefore, he spoke in favor of Option 2.
Vice Chair Drosky spoke in opposition to Option 1 and agreed with the addition of a community center and learning
center. He said there have been discussions about entering into a partnership to install some type of nautical
destination, i.e. Deerfield Beach Island. Further, he spoke in favor of the location of Option 2 & 3, whereas, it
encourages walkability. Lastly, Vice Chair Drosky said he is unsure how large of a facility would be needed to
incorporate the ideas suggested; therefore, he spoke in support of Option 2, as long it can house a community
center and learning center.

GENERAL ITEMS - CONTINUED
Chair Ganz said he is not concerned with where the CRA offices are located and disagreed with the statement that
the City has enough facilities; however, he agreed that there isn’t enough greenspace either. He said there isn’t a
community facility in District 1, nor east of Federal Highway; whereby, this would be the only location for a
community center that is feasible. Further, he said Option 4 is better than expected, but does not work. Chair Ganz
said pushing the facility further east would be easier to tie into the park, would create a better entranceway and
would be further away from Hillsboro Boulevard. He spoke in opposition to Option 1, as the City is already aware
of the building footprint and how the traffic works. He spoke in favor of Option 2, as it provides a community center
and has the same footprint as the current facility. He spoke in opposition to Option 3, as it would be costly because
an elevator would be needed for the second floor and may impair the residents view in the future. He said if Option
4 was built during Phase I it may have worked, but unfortunately it doesn’t at this point.
It was the consensus of the Board to move forward with Option 2.
In response to Vice Chair Drosky’s question, Ms. Mory replied that the estimate for the Utility Undergrounding
Project is $1.7 million, whereby, the Board budgeted $1,700,050 in this fiscal year. Further, she said if Option 2 is
decided for the Sullivan Park Phase II Project, the building would be around 4,000 square feet and at a maximum,
around $300 per square feet. Nevertheless, both projects are comparable in terms of the CRA budget.
In response to Chair Ganz’s question, Ms. Mory replied that there is $100,000 in the Commercial Façade budget.
Chair Ganz said the prioritization of each project would be determined by the timing of each project.
Ms. Mory said the Board can move forward with both projects and decide later depending on which is more
complete.
Chair Ganz thanked the public for their input throughout this process.
3.

CRA Resolution 2019/014 - A Resolution of the City of Deerfield Beach Community Redevelopment
Agency (CRA), approving Commercial Façade funding to CSHJ Lots, LLC (dba Two Georges at the
Cove Restaurant) in an amount not to exceed $11,111.50; and providing for an effective date. (Funds
from Account #190-8000-552-32-59 – Commercial Façade Improvement)

The Resolution was read by title only.
Kris Mory, Director of Economic Development, explained that CSHJ was awarded a commercial façade grant in
2018 for $58,467; however, during the project, unforeseen circumstances arose that led to an opportunity to replace
their monument sign located at the top of the building. The applicant is requesting supplemental funding to cover
the cost of the new monument sign on the roof in an amount of $11,111.50, for a total cost of $22,223.00.
Chair Ganz opened the public hearing; however, there was none to speak and the public hearing was closed.
MOTION was made by Mr. Hudak, seconded by Mr. Parness, to approve Item 3, adopted CRA Resolution 2019/014.

staff is receiving positive feedback. She reminded the Board that additional crosswalks were approved for NE 7 th
Street and SE 2nd Street and are currently in permitting. Lastly, Ms. Mory said the Pompano Beach Chamber of
Commerce requested the City’s support for the boat parade; therefore, she authorized discretionary spending from
the Special Events budget for additional deputy detail to assist with the road closure. The boat parade is on Friday,
December 13th from 7:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., and will go past Two Georges, underneath the Hillsboro Bridge, so

Amendment to the Interlocal Agreement with Broward County for distribution of the proceeds of the Three-Cent
Additional Local Option Gas Tax on Motor Fuel; authorizing execution of the 2020 Amendment; providing for

Recommended Action
Commission to vote on Resolution
Voting Requirement
Adoption requires a 3/5 vote of the City Commission
Background/History
The attached resolution provides for approval of a 2020 Amendment to the Interlocal Agreement with
Broward County for distribution of the proceeds from the County three-cent local option gas tax.
Annual amendments are required to adjust the City’s percentage of County gas tax collections,
which are based on the City’s population. Broward County, through its Local Option Gas Tax
Ordinance, levies a tax of 3 cents per gallon on motor fuel. Broward County retains 48.73% of total
taxes collected, while the remaining 51.27% is allocated amongst the various municipalities within
the County, based on population figures that are published annually by the University of Florida
Bureau of Economics and Business Research. The attached interlocal agreement with Broward
County is required to provide for the Local Option Gas Tax distributions.
Current Activity
The funds received from the City’s share of the three cent additional local option gas tax will be used
to support the operations of the City's Road & Bridge Fund.
FY2020 (Projected Pre-COVID19) - $853,286
FY2019 Actual - $610,534
FY2018 Actual - $589,007
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Commission approve the 2020 Amendment to the Interlocal
Agreement with Broward County for distribution of the proceeds of the three cent local option gas tax
and authorize execution of the 2020 Amendment.

Title
Resolution 2020/ - A Resolution of the City Commission of the City of Deerfield Beach, Florida, approving the 2020
Amendment to the Interlocal Agreement with Broward County for distribution of the proceeds of the Fifth-Cent
Additional Local Option Gas Tax on Motor Fuel; authorizing execution of the 2020 Amendment; providing for
severability and an effective date.

Recommended Action
Commission to vote on Resolution
Voting Requirement
Adoption requires a 3/5 vote of the City Commission
Background/History
The attached resolution approves an amendment to the Interlocal Agreement with Broward County
for the distribution of the proceeds from the County additional fifth cent local option gas tax. Annual
amendments are required to adjust the City’s percentage of county gas tax collections, which are
based on the City’s population. Broward County, through its Local Option Gas Tax Ordinance,
levies a tax of 5 cents per gallon on motor fuel. Broward County retains 74% of total taxes collected,
while the remaining 26% is allocated amongst the various municipalities within the county, based on
population figures that are published annually by the University of Florida Bureau of Economics and
Business Research. The attached amendment to the interlocal agreement with Broward County is
required in order to provide for the fifth cent Local Option Gas Tax distributions.
Approval of the amendment by the City Commission will provide for the local option gas tax revenue
for the Fiscal Year 2021 budget. The amount included in the City’s budget will be determined by the
State of Florida and be available in June 2020. This funding is restricted for the operation and
maintenance of the City’s streets and roadways.
The distribution is based upon a formula whereby the City’s population is divided by the total
incorporated area’s population and then multiplied by a relevant percentage. The relevant
percentage that the City will be receiving (1.085374%) is set forth in the Amendment.
Current Activity
The funds received from the City’s share of the fifth cent additional local option gas tax will be used
to support the operations of the City's Road & Bridge Fund.
FY2020 (Projected Pre-COVID19) - $853,286
Page 81 of 124

FY2019 Actual - $610,534
FY2020 Actual - $589,007
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Commission approve the 2020 Amendment to the Interlocal
Agreement with Broward County for distribution of the proceeds of the fifth cent additional local
option gas tax and authorize execution of the 2020 Amendment.

The population figures set forth above are based on the figures contained in the
document referred to as the "Florida Estimates of Population," published on an
annual basis by the Bureau of Economic and Business Research, Population

2.
This 2020 Amendment shall be effective as of the date it is executed by the
County after having previously been executed by the Municipalities cumulatively
representing a majority of the incorporated area population of the County; the amended
population figures and share of proceeds shall take effect as provided by applicable law.
3.
In the event any provision within this 2020 Amendment is found by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the remaining provisions shall continue to be
effective unless the County or any executing Municipality necessary to maintain the
cumulative majority referenced in the preceding paragraph elects to terminate the
Interlocal Agreement. The election to terminate pursuant to this provision must be
made within seven (7) days after such court ruling; provided, however, that if a timely
notice appealing the court ruling is filed, the election shall be held in abeyance until the
appeal is determined or dismissed.
4.
Except to the extent amended, the Interlocal Agreement shall remain in full force
and effect. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this 2020 Amendment and
the Interlocal Agreement, as previously amended, the Parties acknowledge that this

954-480-4200

File Number: I.D. 2020-381

Agenda Date: 5/5/2020

Status: DEPARTMENTAL BUSINESS

In Control: City Commission

Title
Resolution 2020/ - A Resolution of the City Commission of the City of Deerfield Beach, Florida, approving the
submission of applications to the Broward County Mobility Advancement Program for Transportation Surtax
Funds to provide funding for the SE 13th Avenue and SE 15th Avenue Bridges Rehabilitation Projects; and providing
for an effective date.

Recommended Action
Commission to vote on Resolution
Voting Requirement
Adoption requires a 3/5 vote of the City Commission
Background/History
Broward County voters approved a 30-year, one percent surtax for transportation in November 2018.
The sales surtax took effect on January 1, 2019. County staff is in the process of drafting a 5-year
Plan due to the Independent Transportation Surtax Oversight Board and the Broward County Board
of County Commissioners for approval on July 1, 2020. The Oversight Board determines if a project
is permitted under Florida Statute Section 212.055(1)(d).
The current project based Transportation Surtax Plan, approved by voters in 2018, includes funding
up to $122.7 million in FY 2020 municipal capital, rehabilitation and maintenance projects, and
Community shuttles. The funding allocation for municipal rehabilitation and maintenance projects is
dependent on the balance remaining after the approval of municipal-requested capital projects and
Community Shuttles. The County recently finalized evaluation criteria, prioritized based on need and
equity, for more than 200 rehabilitation and maintenance municipal-requested projects included in
the current plan. The evaluation criteria includes condition of existing facilities, project readiness,
socioeconomic and roadway needs, and funds received for municipal capital projects.
Current Activity
The application to assess and prioritize cycle one municipal rehabilitation and maintenance projects
opened on April 1, 2020. Based on the aforementioned evaluation criteria, the City has two eligible
projects, bridge rehabilitation at SE 13th and SE 15th Avenues, from the current Transportation
Surtax Plan. Both projects have a documented condition assessment and demonstrated need via
the Bridge Inspection Reports prepared by FDOT. The bridges at SE 13th and SE 15th Avenues
have been deemed structurally deficient and functionally obsolete, respectively. The City prepared
preliminary cost estimates for the repairs identified in the Bridge Inspection Reports supporting
project readiness. The projects are included in the current plan for up to $1 million in repairs that will
Page 120 of 124

improve the bridges' safety and integrity. The deadline to submit an application for consideration is
May 16, 2020.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Commission authorize submission of two applications, $500,000
each, to the Surtax Mobility Advancement Program, Municipal Rehabilitation and Maintenance
Projects, for the proposed bridge rehabilitation projects at SE 13th and SE 15th Avenues.
