DATE: November 9, 2023
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION — Amending Resolution No. 2023-89 to modify the Contract with Daniels
Fence Corp to include the cost of the Payment and Performance Bond
Background:
Through the adoption of Resolution No. 2023-89 on October 12, 2023, the Village Council approved a
Contract with Daniels Fence Corp for the removal and disposal of existing fencing and the installation of
new fencing at the North Palm Beach County Club at a total cost of $239,890 pursuant to pricing
established in an existing Martin County Agreement. Because the total cost of the Contract exceeds
$200,000, Section 255.05, Florida Statutes, requires the Contractor to execute and record in the public
records a Payment and Performance Bond prior to commencing work. While the Payment and
Performance Bond requirement was included in the Contract, it was excluded from the Contractor's
proposal. The cost of the required Payment and Performance Bond will be $8,845, thereby increasing
the total amount of the Contract to $248,735.
The attached Resolution amends Resolution No. 2023-89 to increase the total cost to reflect the inclusion
of the Payment and Performance Bond.

funds expended from Account Number L8050-66210 (Tennis — Construction & Major Renovation),
and authorizing the Mayor and Village Clerk to execute the revised Contract for such services in

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council
THRU: Charles Huff, Village Manager
FROM: Wayne Cameron, Building Official
Caryn Gardner -Young, Community Development Director
DATE: October 26, 2023
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION — Approval of Second Amendment to the Contract with Hy -
Byrd Incorporated for Building Inspection Services to extend the term
through Fiscal Year 2024
The Community Development Department continues to have difficulties in finding qualified
building inspectors, resulting in the Village utilizing a variety of firms to provide building inspection
services on a contract basis. The cost of these professional services is offset by salary and
benefit savings from the vacant positions.
Through the adoption of Resolution No. 2022-25 on April 14, 2022, the Village Council approved
a Contract for Building Inspection Services with Hy -Byrd Incorporated through September 30,
2022 in the amount of $75,000, utilizing pricing set forth in an existing Agreement with the Town
of Palm Beach. Through the adoption of Resolution No. 2022-88 on October 13, 2022, the Village
Council approved an amendment to the contract to extend the term through September 30, 2023.
As of the end of Fiscal Year 2023, there are still funds available on this purchase order for this
vendor (the current open balance is $16,535). Due to the increased demand for inspection
services throughout the Village and the vacant inspector positions, it is anticipated that there will
be a continued need to utilize Hy -Byrd for inspection services in FY 2024. Consequently, Staff is
recommended that the Council approve an Amendment to the Contract to extend the term through
September 30, 2024. Any unexpended funds from Fiscal Year 2023 will be carried over and
expended in the next fiscal year so there is no additional financial impact at this time.
The attached Resolution and Amendment have been prepared and/or reviewed for legal
sufficiency by the Village Attorney.
Recommendation:
Village Staff requests Council consideration and approval of the attached Resolution
approving a Second Amendment to the Contract for Building Inspection Services with Hy -
Byrd Incorporation to extend the term through Fiscal Year 2024 and authorizing the Mayor
and Village Clerk to execute the Amendment in accordance with Village policies and
procedures.

VILLAGE; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS; AND PROVIDING FOR AN

WHEREAS, through the adoption of Resolution No. 2022-25 on April 14, 2022, the Village Council
approved a Contract with Hy -Byrd Incorporated to provide building inspection services on an as needed
basis pursuant to the terms, conditions and pricing established in an existing Agreement with the Town
of Palm Beach, thereby allowing for concurrent competitive purchasing pursuant to the Village's
purchasing policies and procedures; and

Staff: Alex Ahrenholz, Acting Community Development Director
Len Rubin, Village Attorney
Chuck Huff, Village Manager

I. CALL TO ORDER
Chairman Whiteford called the meeting to order at 6:01 PM.
II. ROLL CALL
All members of the Residential Ad -Hoc Committee were present except Shawn Woods and
Amanda McNally.
III. APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES
Motion made and seconded to approve the minutes from the August 23, 2022 Ad Hoc Committee
meeting. Motion passed 6-0.
IV. DISCUSSION
A. Accessory Structures
Staff presentation was given by Alex Ahrenholz discussing the current regulations,
example structures that can be constructed, and example regulations from other local
municipalities. Setback, height and square footages examples were discussed with the committee.
Some municipalities have a sliding scale of regulations based on size.
Members shared the structures they have seen and requested to see additional examples of
the varying sizes for future discussion. There was concern among the members that many sheds
exist in the Village that are not permitted because they are not allowed and currently pose a threat
to safety in storms. Allowing them to remain, but be tied down, seemed to be a supported approach.
AD HOC COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES- OCTOBER 6, 2022
Members also discussed the current allowances for open air pavilions and how they will fit
into these updates. They agreed to keep the open air pavilion regulations in place and perhaps
match the setbacks for the new storage structure regulations. Since the new regulations will allow
a bigger wall, some landscaping or screening should be provided for compatibility to the adjacent
residents.
The members generally agreed there should be two levels of regulations. One that is not
permitted, but under a certain size, screened from view and cannot have utilities. The larger sheds
would need a building permit to meet Florida Building Code requirements. An overall maximum
square footage and height for both size buildings was discussed. Some members expressed support
for 100 square feet or 7 feet high. Some said 50 square feet and 6 feet high so they would be
effectively hidden behind a maximum fence height allowed.
Some members were supportive of a 25% maximum size of the accessory structure to the
principal structure. Other members had concerns that larger homes could have very large buildings
in the back and some of those would be on the water or golf course. Discussion included creating
a larger setback for the larger structures. Some members were concerned with multiple structures
being erected within the maximum square footage and minimum landscape area.
For larger structures, the members generally agreed that they should be architecturally
consistent, but there was disagreement on the materials that should be called out or specific
requirements for the consistency.
The committee agreed to discuss accessory dwelling units at the next meeting.
Public Comment:
Deborah Cross, 2560 Pepperwood Circle South, expressed concerns over the impervious surfaces,
and additions to the non -permitted structures.
B. Artificial Turf
Alex Ahrenholz gave the staff presentation explaining the current Village regulations,
existing examples of turf and provided example regulations from other local municipalities. Many
of the local municipalities have similar regulations that were taken from each other to provide
consistency. The materials and overall size permitted were discussed in detail by the members. The
members wanted to see the regulations in ordinance form to better dive into the list of regulations.
Most members did not want to have the artificial turf count towards all of the minimum landscape
area recently established, but there was disagreement on the percentage. They wanted to limit the
artificial turf in the front yard. Staff agreed to draft some regulations for the next meeting with turf
limited to the side and rear, building permit required, screened from the roadway and limited to
25% of the minimum landscape area. Allowance should be provided for the strips between
driveways. Any existing artificial turf that requires repair or replacement will need a permit to do
so and comply with the current code.
C. Walls on Property Lines
Alex Ahrenholz gave a brief staff presentation with a few examples of the walls that have
been installed on new homes that were required to raise the building elevation for the floor zone.
Many property owners install the maximum 4 ft high fence on top of a 2-3 foot wall for a total of
6-7 feet from the adjacent neighbor. Staff has been limiting height to 4 feet overall per code, but
there has been push back from home builders, especially when they need a handrail for fall hazard
in the FL Building Code.

AD HOC COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES- OCTOBER 6, 2022
Most members expressed interest in creating a regulation that would be consistent between
homes to avoid this, but there was no consensus among the group. Some members thought this
could be handled with the proposed drainage standards that will be established once the stormwater
master plan is completed. Members asked clarification for the requirements of the current drainage
standards and requirements to construct the walls for a future meeting.
V. ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS
A. Scheduling next meeting
The board decided to have the next meeting on November 3, 2022 at 6:00 PM.
B. Staff updates
Village Council recently asked the ad hoc committee if there should be tree requirements or
landscape requirements and establishing driveway materials. The Board would like the
Environmental Committee to address tree requirements. No decision was made on landscaping or
driveway material requirements.
C. Committee member comments
Members brought up the issue of access to alleyways, which was highly discouraged by the Police
chief. There was also discussion on parking regulations overall such as long term parking in the
swales. Further discussion will take place at the next meeting.
VI. ADJOURNMENT
With there being no further business to come before the Board, the meeting adjourned at 8:20 PM.

III. APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES
Motion made by Cory Cross to approve the minutes from the November 3, 2022 Ad Hoc
Committee meeting, Stephen St. John seconded. Motion passed 6-0.
IV. DISCUSSION
A. Accessory Structures
Staff presentation was given by Alex Ahrenholz. The draft regulations for accessory
structures were presented and discussed. A threshold of 64 square feet was established between
two types that can be installed. The small structures do not need a permit and need to be screened.
Any structure over the threshold needs a building permit and shall be architecturally consistent
with the principal structure.
Members discussed regulations for the smaller storage structure including overall height
and the setbacks. Most members liked having a 5-foot setback so there would be room for hedging
and a fence to provide the required screening. They generally agreed that an eight -foot overall
height would be reasonable. Some members wanted to include the restriction of electrical and
utilities for the smaller structures.
Public Comment:
Liz Dalton - 724 Lagoon Dr.- Had concerns about the regulations and asked several questions.
Deborah Cross - 2560 Pepperwood Cir S.- Raised concerns over storage of hazardous materials or
vehicles in the small storage structures.
AD HOC COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES- NOVEMBER 29, 2022
B. Large Storage Structures
Staff presentation was given by Alex Ahrenholz explaining the current draft regulations for
the larger structures. Options were given to the committee for architectural features and changes
to the regulations for garages. The maximum size was increased based on previous discussions to
35% of the size of the principal structure with 16 feet maximum height. Regulations were proposed
for the ability to provide a two story building, accessory to the principal structure as long as it
meets the building setbacks. Some of the larger lots have requested creating separate buildings that
right now are required to be connected by a breezeway or some other architectural feature.
Members discussed that the accessory buildings could be permitted with these new
regulations but would not be able to make them two stories. The building would just have to be
connected to the principal building if it was two stories. Members generally agreed to eliminate at
proposed language.
Additional discussion involved regulations for accessory dwelling units based on
regulations from other municipalities without them becoming a fully separate dwelling unit. The
committee was hesitant to establish a threshold that would permit a small efficiency unit for
members of the family without it turning into a vacation rental. There was concern that minor
changes, including plug in appliances could easily turn a bedroom suite into an additional unit.
Members discussed "guest cottages" which would be limited to 800 square feet and 40%
of the size of the principal structure.
Members agreed to seek Council direction as to what type of accessory structures will be
allowed.
B. Artificial Turf
The current language does not prohibit use. Also, installation would only be allowed on
single family properties and should require a permit. Following much discussion, members agreed
that additional research is require prior to any code revisions.
C. Parking Regulations
Members agreed that vehicular parking in the swales has become excessive. It needs to be
curtailed and language added to the current code. The code should state regulations on parking in
three areas of the property; driveway, grass, and swale. One member offered to research parking
regulations in Palm Beach Shores due to similar lot sizes.
Public Comment:
Liz Dalton - 724 Lagoon Dr.- Expressed concerns regarding how many vehicles are currently
allowed to park in the swale.
V. ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS
A. The next meeting will be on Thursday, January 5, 2023.

Recreation Advisory Board Meeting
MINUTES
September 12, 2023 at 7:00 pm
Anchorage Park
1) Call to Order: Chair Budnyk
2) Roll Call: Rita Budnyk, Leigh Arwood, Ashley Knieriemen, Stephen Heiman,
Jennifer Gold Dumas, Zak Sherman, and Mia St. John. Council Representative David
Norris present. Christi Chane Absent. Christi let the Board know in advance.
Volunteer Belinda Morrell present.
2) Approval of Minutes: Meeting called to order by Rita at 7:02 p.m. Jennifer Dumas
made the motion to approve minutes from August; Mia St. John seconded.
3) Public Comments: Mary Phillips addressed concerns regarding golf cart drivers on
Anchorage Park paths. She recounted a couple incidents and emphasized that golf
carts should not be allowed on paths, suggesting the need for clearer signage. Mary
also mentioned issues with golf carts parking on tennis courts, disturbing the nearby
neighbors. She also spoke about a butterfly garden, suggesting that a similar garden be
created in North Palm Beach.
More discussions ensued on the need for clearer signage prohibiting golf carts on
paths, especially at park entrances. The possibility of installing more bollards at trails
heads and conducting a sign audit was raised, where every sign in the parks/library
would be evaluated for clarity, material, and positioning. Concerns about enforcing
the rules, especially during evenings and on weekends, were also voiced.
Chris Ryder commented on the redesign of the dry storage area, emphasizing that the
fence line should closely follow the new master plan. He also proposed matching the
sea wall height to that of the adjacent dune at Lakeside Park, and how the north end
should be built up more like the south end. Furthermore, he advocated for the Village
to assert its ownership rights concerning the southeast corner of Anchorage Park.
George Alger, representing the Waterway Advisory Board, introduced himself and
expressed interest in collaborative discussions between the two boards. The change in
the Waterway Advisory Board meeting schedule to the fourth Tuesday of each month
was confirmed.
Katie Moffitt introduced her association with Kompan Playground. She highlighted
her CPSI certification and Kompan's expertise in outdoor fitness playgrounds. Moffitt
emphasized Kompan's versatility in handling comprehensive projects or merely
providing equipment. She informed the board about an upcoming turf product and
alluded to a potential project at Lakeside Park. Moffitt underscored Kompan's
specialization in custom projects and handed over informational materials to the
board, who recommended they be left with Zak for review. Moffitt concluded by
detailing Kompan's cost -saving measures, especially for clients with stringent budgets,
advocating for direct equipment orders from Kompan paired with their endorsed
installers.
4) Director's Report: The update on Anchorage Park began with news of the
completed playground renovation. The Director detailed the removal of the old mulch
and adjustments made to the swing set, lowering it by a foot in accordance with the
playground inspection. These changes, alongside the alteration to the shade, were
covered financially by the contractor. The addition of new turf beneath the swing set
and the two spinning components were highlighted, with a mention that only minor
sod work remains to be done. Further, a new initiative saw the installation of mini -
library houses in several locations, including Anchorage Park. These houses, stocked
with books by the local library, have proven to be especially popular at Lakeside Park.
Addressing environmental concerns, the Director reported the removal of invasive
plants along the park's southern border in response to a letter from the South Florida
Water Management. Following the removal, an inspection took place and a
confirmation of the action's adequacy is awaited.
The Director discussed a new recycling initiative. New recycling bin tops, designed in
blue and clearly marked for bottles and cans only, have been placed in Anchorage
Park. The early results have been encouraging, showing an uptick in recycling. Due to
financial considerations, given the cost of these lids, they haven't been placed in all
parks yet. However, plans are afoot to expand this initiative in FY24.
An update regarding the boat launch decal was shared: The Council approved its
relocation from the rear of vehicles to the trailer's tongue area, specifically within 4ft
of the hitch connection, in order to cater to the varied designs of trailers. Feedback
concerning this change was minimal, with only a single resident's concern noted. This
resident previously towed a relative's trailer, highlighting a potential challenge in the
current policy that mandates the trailer must be registered to the resident. Current boat
ramp maintenance was also touched upon, with plans waiting for a detailed
engineering plan. The Director also mentioned stabilization efforts for the south
marina walkovers.
The Director shared updates on the Seacoast Forced Main Project. The project bid has
been officially awarded and an initial pre -construction meeting has taken place.
However, a concrete start date is still in the works. Communications are ongoing to
ensure park activities face minimal interruptions during the project.
The Director shared plans for tree planting near the main Anchorage building, which
followed the earlier removal of two trees. The new additions will feature a mahogany
tree, supplemented by gumbo limbo trees and other smaller species. Restoration
efforts were also discussed, with plans to sod a noticeable brown patch left after
invasive plant removal along the park's southern border.
The Director provided an update on the gym floor resurfacing. The Director described
the unforeseen challenges faced during the floor renovation. While the roofing issues
posed potential threats of leaks to the floor work, the day set for pouring the floor
material inconveniently coincided with the roofer's schedule. As if that wasn't enough,
the evening they poured the floor, it rained. The gym floor's fate was twofold; the
pouring material was defective, and there was a single leak. Fortuitously, the
defectiveness meant the contractor had to redo the entire floor at no extra cost. The
new floor installation went off without a hitch, including the painting of court lines.
The maintenance plan includes regular sweeping and mopping by the staff.
Additionally, a professional cleaning company will deep clean the floor biannually.
Responding to a warranty -related query, the Director mentioned that these floors
usually last a decade or more. The installing company even provided a cleaning
service quote, which is more affordable than other contenders.
The Director shifted the focus to the Community Center athletic field renovations. The
vast majority of the project, including the leveling and irrigation system installation,
has been successfully completed. As of the meeting date, the sod installation was in
process. However, a minor setback occurred due to a leak at the backflow preventer
connection. Seacoast promptly addressed this, even though the typical responsibility
falls on the Park's end. An interesting twist involved the park's water source; the
initial plan was to use well water for the common areas until the sod was completely
laid. However, the well malfunctioned, and considering the imminent completion of
the sodding, the decision was to forgo fixing the well. This decision was also
underpinned by the fact that the city water would soon become the primary source for
the entire grounds. The aim is to complete the sodding by week's end.
The Director reported that the sod should be undisturbed for a month, but the
inaugural flag football game is scheduled for October 7th. While there's flexibility to
move the game to October 14th, allowing an extra week for the sod to settle, it's still
cutting it close to the recommended 30 days. In anticipation of potential delays, the
Director had liaised with Gardens High School about utilizing their field. Though
initially thinking it unnecessary, the Director has since re -initiated communication
with the school to keep options open, requesting two potential dates as a backup.
There were more updates regarding the Community Center. AT&T equipment
suffered damage along the trail by Sanctuary Cove due to April's tornado. While a
new equipment box was installed, the company hasn't yet cleared the damaged
equipment. The company is supposed to remove it by Friday. An additional issue was
highlighted with a cell tower company, where their gate was broken, and two slats
were missing from their fence. Additionally, a new credit card reader will soon be
installed, which will facilitate transactions and reduce cash handling. The RecTrac
management system has now incorporated pickleball and open gym memberships, and
Staff are offering members key fobs. The system change aims to provide a more
economical solution for members and to reduce the time staff spend processing cash
transactions. Andrew McCarthy has been hired as a new rec assistant, replacing
Demitri Michaels who left after the summer.
Lakeside Park recently had its Tiki Hut roof fully renovated. The project was
undertaken by Ronnie's Seminole Tiki Huts, who was chosen for their competitive
rates and timely service. In terms of environmental concerns, there was a discussion
about the sea oats. It was clarified that these plants are not protected west of the
Coastal Construction Control Line and can be relocated or replaced as needed.
The library has also been active with renovations and promotions. A book giveaway
event, fueled by a PBC grant, is in the pipeline for Touch -A -Truck. Furthermore, the
library added new furniture and is undergoing second floor bathroom renovations.
Osborne Park's old concession stand has seen internal renovations, making it more
usable for future events.
The meeting also highlighted several upcoming events. Touch -A -Truck is scheduled
for September 23. "Scoop Coop," an ice cream truck, will be on hand for the event.
October promises to be eventful with the Links 5K run and a haunted house. To
support the Links 5K, Staff is actively seeking volunteers. A positive note was shared
about the youth flag football registration: the number of participants this year has
increased to 104 kids from 70-ish the previous year. This increase was attributed, in
part, to a $60 investment in targeted Facebook ads. The effectiveness of these ads was
recognized, and there was a consensus on considering more such advertisements in the
future.
To conclude the administrative topics, a proposal was made to reschedule the next
board meeting from October 10 to October 17 due to some board members attending a
conference. The meeting wrapped up with a discussion on the potential influence of
Facebook ads on sports registrations and the need to review their impact in detail.
5) New Business: The Director began by discussing the new revised marina leases
which took a few weeks to finalize. Comparatively, these new leases are more
comprehensive than their predecessors. Key issues that came to the forefront included
expired vehicle tags and the condition of stored RVs and boats. The lease content
touched upon several points, from details about fee payment and commercial activity
restrictions to renewal terms and a clear outline of rules and regulations. Specific
topics covered in the lease are security measures, surveillance protocols, rules on
conduct noise, storage norms, fueling procedures, parking guidelines, pet policies,
guidelines for making alterations, protocols during severe weather warnings, and lease
termination details. The Village attorney has meticulously reviewed the leases twice,
recommending some changes, primarily for the sake of formalization and appropriate
legal language, which were all made. It was decided that these new leases would be
emailed to members, with George being one of the recipients.
6) Old Business: Tornado Update: Board was informed that the bulk of the repairs at the
Community Center, following the tornado's impact, are mostly complete. Currently
awaiting the installation of split rail fencing, LED lights, the remainder of sod, and the
completion of some other minor repair tasks. An update on the expected insurance
payout was provided. There's also talk about potentially hosting a grand opening for
the new field, possibly on the day of the first flag football game.
7) Member Comments: Members have put forth a suggestion to introduce lighting
around the dock area, especially considering it's a popular spot for people to fish.
There was a recall of prior conversations concerning the installation of bait cutting
tables at the piers. Board was informed of upcoming lighting installations planned by
FPL for both the dry storage area and the trail. Finally, there was another mention of
the upcoming sign audit.
8) Staff Comments: None.
9) Adjournment: Meeting adjourns at 7:53 p.m. Stephen Heiman makes motion; Rita
Budnyk seconds.
VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH
VILLAGE MANAGER'S OFFICE
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council
THRU: Chuck Huff, Village Manager
FROM: Samia Janjua, Deputy Village Manager
DATE: October 26, 2023
SUBJECT: ORDINANCE — 1st Reading — General Fund Fiscal Year End 2023 Budget
Amendment
The Finance Department has completed a preliminary year-end review of the Village's General Fund
budgeted expenditures for Fiscal Year 2023. The review revealed unforeseen and unbudgeted
expenses associated with the EF-2 Tornado, Hurricane lan, and Hurricane Nicole.
While Staff managed to cover a portion of these unexpected costs, there remains a need for additional
funding in the Recreation Department to ensure all necessary expenditures are adequately covered.
Fortunately, the Village has received additional funds in the interest earnings category, which Staff
proposes to utilize to address these unforeseen expenses effectively.
The Finance team recommends allocating a portion of the interest earnings towards funding the
following unbudgeted expenses:
• Resolution # 2023-48: Replace sod and soil damaged by the Tornado and provide new
field irrigation at the Community Center ($171,737.36)
• Resolution # 2023-49: Purchase and installation of new athletic field and basketball court
lighting at the Community Center to replace tornado damaged systems ($443,028)
Because the proposed allocation of the interest earnings to cover these additional costs will
increase the total General Fund Budget, a budget amendment ordinance is required:
"...The Annual Budget establishes limitations on expenditures by fund, and the total
appropriation of each fund may not be increased or decreased without specific authorization
by a duly enacted Ordinance effecting such amendment or transfer."
Note: The budget amendment is based on an estimate for outstanding invoices. The estimate
will be revised prior to the second reading if necessary.
Budget Amendment:
Fund Department Use Source
l General Fund Interest Earnings $500,000
General Fund Recreation $500,000
1 Total $500,000 $500,000
The attached Ordinance has been prepared and reviewed for legal sufficiency by the Village
Attorney.
Note: This Ordinance shall be effective retroactive to September 30, 2023.
Recommendation:
Village Staff recommends Council consideration and adoption on first reading of the
attached Ordinance authorizing the Mayor and Village Clerk to execute the required budget
amendment to provide necessary funds in the Fiscal Year 2023 General Fund Budget in
accordance with Village policies and procedures.

FIRE RESCUE
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council
THRU: Chuck Huff, Interim Village Manager
FROM: J.D. Armstrong, Fire Chief
DATE: October 26, 2023
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION — Approving the Purchase of Firefighter Protective Clothing from
Bennett Fire Products Company, Inc. pursuant to pricing established in an
existing Lake County Contract
During the Fiscal Year 2024 budgetary process, the Fire Rescue Department requested the
replacement of eight (8) sets of firefighter protective clothing (bunker gear) as replacement sets
for our career firefighters. These funds were approved and allocated to the Fire Rescue Operating
Budget Account Number A5812-35294 (Fire Rescue — Uniforms & Shoes).
After research and testing, Fire Rescue determined that Globe fire protective clothing (bunker
