There being no one else from the public who wished to address the Commission regarding Ordinance No. 33 -13, the public hearing was closed. Mr. Frankel asked Captain Tommy Mitchell how the Police Department is going to inform people of the new procedures. Captain Mitchell stated the County ordinance will allow them to enforce the taxi rules and regulations in Palm Beach County; however, the taxis that people see coming in will still be allowed to pick up and drop off. Captain Mitchell stated since Mr. Rosayn was the Chairperson for the Vehicle 13 12/03/13 for Hire Committee for Palm Beach County he wanted all the taxi cabs to register in Delray Beach as well. However, Captain Mitchell stated that might not happen and then the City would be limiting the competition because nowhere in the new ordinance in the county and per his instructions for the Palm Beach County League of Cities was not to negotiate rates; people can charge whatever they want and they would limit the competition. Captain Mitchell stated people will always be allowed to drop off in Delray Beach but they just would not be allowed to pick up.

Mr. Rosayn stated the City of Boca Raton, City of Delray Beach, the City of Lake Worth, the City of West Palm Beach, Palm Beach, and believes there is another one that is in North County. Mr. Rosayn stated they are not looking to limit competition but they are looking to have quality service. Mr. Rosayn stated there are a lot of single cab owners who come from out of the City of Delray Beach (i.e. Lake Worth, West Palm, etc.) Friday night, Saturday night, and Sunday night where a full service company has a 24 -hour dispatch and serves the community 24 hours a day 365 days a year. Mr. Jacquet stated the intent of bringing this up was to have vehicles registered in the city and on Thursday, Friday, and Saturdays there are too many cabs all over downtown. Mr. Jacquet stated the officers concern is they cannot control or regulate them and therefore it is a safety concern for the residents. Mr. Jacquet stated he would like to see Delray Beach mirror the County and the other municipalities that have the requirement that cabs register in the city. Mr. Rosayn stated he feels it would be a revenue source for the city as well to help protect the residents and suggested that each company meet a certain criteria top rate in the city and that all of their cars have a colored decal on the windshield. Officer Mitchell stated Palm Beach County does not regulate what the fare is but whatever fare is advertised they would have to stick by it. Officer Mitchell stated Consumer Affairs would regulate where the business would be located and if a taxi business registers with the County they can call Consumer Affairs, find out who the owner is and track down the drivers that way but currently there is nothing the Police Department can enforce. Mayor Glickstein asked about what the downside is to registering in Delray Beach. Captain Mitchell stated he is not sure how they would police it. Mr. Jacquet stated the consumer may not look for it but when the Police Officer are patrolling they would know automatically whether or not a cab belongs here or not. Brief discussion between Captain Mitchell and the Commission followed. Mr. Jacquet stated he feels by having the taxis registered in the city would be the best way to alleviate the problems the city has and at the same time raise some revenue for the city and address the Commission's concern over public safety. Mr. Jacquet expressed concern that just by registering with Palm Beach County the City may not be addressing the problem in its totality in the way that we should. 14 12/03/13 Mr. Rosayn stated part of his obligation is to provide quality service and to make sure that his drivers make enough money to feed their families and clothe their children. However, Mr. Rosayn stated part of the problem is that there are other cabs from out of the area that do not service Delray Beach who come to Delray on Friday and Saturday nights and they are taking away business from legitimate taxi companies. Mr. Rosayn reiterated that he supports the amendment going forward but he also would like to have all companies who want to operate in the City of Delray Beach to have an occupational license and stickers on their vehicles to show the Police Department that they are an authorized cab company that can operate in the City of Delray Beach. Mayor Glickstein stated the registration is a deterrent and feels it would help to eliminate some of the problems because he is looking at this from the perspective of the traffic in the downtown at these peak hours is made worse because the cabs are moving slowly and looking for somebody to pick up with recognizing there are some limitations on enforcement. Mr. Jacquet suggested that the registration be added into the City. Mr. Frankel stated he agrees with the intent and idea; however, he stated they do not know if the cost coming into the City if personnel will pay for it or if we can have the systems in place. Mayor Glickstein suggested that the Commission set a six (6) month revisit on this issue and perhaps the situation with Code Enforcement and Law Enforcement is different at that time. Mr. Jacquet stated the reason he had brought up this issue several weeks ago was because he wanted to ensure that the City was to do something to make sure that the taxi cabs register in the City of Delray Beach. Mrs. Petrolia also suggested that within the next six (6) months that staff go to some of the neighboring cities (i.e. City of Boca Raton) and ask them what is it taking to do this, how much manpower is needed, and how much is it costing. She stated that way the Commission has a template to look at and make the decision based on experience that is already out there. Mr. Jacquet moved to approve Ordinance No. 33 -13 with the caveat that the City Commission will revisit this in six (6) months, seconded by Mrs. Petrolia. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mrs. Gray — Yes; Mayor Glickstein — Yes; Mrs. Petrolia — Yes; Mr. Jacquet — Yes; Mr. Frankel — Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote. 11. FIRST READINGS: A. None At this point, the time being 7:50 p.m., the Commission moved back to Item 9 of the Regular Agenda. 15 12/03/13 9. REGULAR AGENDA: 9.A. CONDITIONAL USE REOUEST /KAAB NURSING SCHOOL: Consider a conditional use request to allow the establishment of a vocational nursing school for Kaab Nursing School, within the Congress Park Development, located on the west side of South Congress Avenue, south of West Atlantic Avenue. The proposed use will occupy a 4,100 sq. ft. tenant space located on the second floor of the existing 3 -story office building at 220 Congress Park Drive within the office park. (Quasi- Judicial Hearing) Mayor Glickstein read the City of Delray Beach Quasi - Judicial rules into the record for this item. Chevelle D. Nubin, City Clerk, swore in those individuals who wished to give testimony on this item. Mayor Glickstein asked the Commission to disclose their ex parte communications. The Commission had no ex parte communications to disclose. Mark McDonnell, Interim Planning and Zoning Director, entered the Planning and Zoning project file 42014 -004 into the record. Mr. McDonnell stated this is a conditional use to allow the operation of the KAAB Nursing School within a 4,100 square foot tenant space located on the second floor of an existing 52,712 square ft. office building in the Mixed Residential Office and Commercial (MROC) zoning district. The property is located at 220 Congress Park Drive approximately 870 feet south of West Atlantic Avenue on the west side of Congress Avenue. Mr. McDonnell stated the proposal includes leasing a 4,100 square ft. tenant space located on the second floor of the existing 3 -story office building to operate the KAAB Nursing School which will offer educational diplomas for nurses. There will be a maximum of 40 students at any given time and there are existing businesses in the area but they primarily close at 5:00 p.m. The proposed hours of operation for the proposed school are 8:00 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Mr. McDonnell stated staff sent this to the Police Department for a CEPTED review and they wanted all of the lights in the parking lot upgraded; however, the Planning and Zoning Board felt that was a little excessive so they compromised and requested that the eight (8) required spaces for the nursing school if they could reserve those in this area either on the wheel stops or with signage and upgrade the lighting in this area so that when the students are getting out at 9:30 p.m. that they have safe illumination and their vehicles are parked close to the entrance to the school. At its meeting of November 18, 2013, the Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval with a vote of 5 to 0 with those conditions (reserved spaces, adequate illumination, and landscape upgrades). Staff recommends approval. 16 12/03/13 Jeffry Lynne Weiner & Aronson, P.A., 10 S.E. Ist Avenue, Delr l Beach, FL 33444, agrees with staff s recommendation. There being no one from the public who wished to address the Commission regarding the conditional use, the public hearing was closed. The City Attorney briefly reviewed the Board Order with the Commission who made findings according to their consensus (attached hereto is a copy and made an official part of the minutes). Mrs. Petrolia moved to adopt the Board Order approving the conditional use request, seconded by Mrs. Gray.

City Attorney The City Attorney stated he will be out of town Thursday, December 5`1' and Friday, December 6t'.

The City Attorney stated this would be limiting who the Commission would be selecting so he will bring forth an ordinance to leave that provision out of the City's Code of Ordinances; it will be a first reading at the December 10, 2013 meeting and a second reading at the first meeting in January (January 7, 2014). 12.C. City Commission 12.C.1. Mrs. Gray Mrs. Gray stated Governor Rick Scott and Attorney General Pam Bondi filed amicus briefs supporting the Mississippi lawsuit against the Federal Government with the unfair National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) rate hike.

Secondly, Mrs. Gray stated the City's General Obligation Bonds have gone from a "AA" to a "AAA ". Mrs. Gray stated the Commission for Law Enforcement Accreditation voted to award the City of Delray Beach a re- accreditation for its exceptional standards of professionalism.

She stated the enterprise zones are very important in the Congress Avenue Corridor and the West Atlantic Avenue Corridor. Mrs. Gray stated last night's Town Hall Lecture Series was awesome. She thanked Mayor Glickstein for bringing Andr6s Duany and she looks forward to the rest of the series.

Secondly, Mrs. Petrolia inquired about the City hiring a head hunter in order to be able to attract the best people and lure them in to fill the open Department Head positions. 12.C.3. Mr. Jacquet Mr. Jacquet stated after the City takes a look at the Enterprise Zone Bill if it is something that the Commission feels is in the best interest of the city, he would encourage the City to support that piece of legislation as a body. Mr. Jacquet stated the Palm Beach County Delegation may support it as well. Secondly, Mr. Jacquet stated he hopes everyone had a great Thanksgiving and he had the opportunity of picking up about 200 meals from Riviera Beach via Christ Fellowship Church. Mr. Jacquet stated on Thanksgiving Day he went around the city and delivered some meals to people who are in need. Mr. Jacquet stated he spent time at the radio station, two churches, the southwest community, and distributed food to some of the homeless people at the new Libby Wesley Park. Mr. Jacquet publicly thanked Alan Kornblau, Delray Beach Public Library Director, for helping a 7th grade student at Carver Middle School who had a paper to write and he did not have a computer at home or a library card.

In terms of the position, Mayor Glickstein stated he would like the job description changed to a minimum requirement of five (5) years' experience in municipal law and suggested that this be published in The Florida Bar News and The Florida Bar Journal. 19 12/03/13 Mr. 7acquet suggested that the City cast a wide net to make sure that this includes people from the private industry and those from government. It was the consensus of the Commission to start advertising the position for City Attorney. Mayor Glickstein inquired about the status of the positions of the Finance Director and Planning and Zoning Director. Mayor Glickstein stated there was an unusual event at the last Commission meeting which has brought the need to assess City Hall security. Mayor Glickstein suggested that employees have ID tags to control the circulation in City Hall and other public buildings and he has asked the Police Chief to make some recommendations to address the security concerns. Mayor Glickstein distributed a photo of a trolley from KennebunkpoM Maine and explained there is advertising on the trolleys which was tastefully done. He commented on the Town Hall Lecture last night and noted the speaker is one of the preeminent land planner /architects in the country with international exposure. Mayor Glickstein stated he finds it troubling that someone of Mr. Duany's caliber was in our town and there was not one person from the Planning and Zoning Department in attendance. Mayor Glickstein stated Randal Krejcarek was there because a big part of the discussion was infrastructure. Lastly, Mayor Glickstein apologized to the people who were expecting more in terms of the Menorah Lighting.
