MAYOR AND COUNCIL MATTERS/REPORTS continued
Public Participation Rules and Procedures
Mr. Rubin explained that Florida Statutes require the Village Council to give members of the
public a reasonable opportunity to be heard on a proposition before the Council subject to rules or
policies adopted by the Council. The Florida Statutes provides that such rules and policies are
limited to those that provided guidelines regarding the amount of time an individual has to address
the Council, prescribe procedures for allowing representatives of groups to address the Council,
prescribe procedures or forms for an individual to use in order to inform the Council of a desire to
be heard or indicate his or her position on a proposition before Council and to designate a specific
time period for public comment.
Mr. Rubin further explained that the Florida Statute also gives Council the right to regulate
decorum. Numerous court decisions have upheld the right of legislative bodies to regulate decorum
at public meetings, ruling that meetings of legislative bodies are limited public forums, thereby
allowing the legislative body to enact content-based restrictions on free speech so long as they are
reasonable, applied in a consistent manner, and viewpoint neutral. Members of the public do not
have the unrestricted right to free speech at Village Council meetings, and the Council may enact
rules regulating the behavior of participants to ensure that it meets are conducted in an orderly and
efficient manner. Mr. Rubin stated that he provided an example of the Town Juno Beach’s Public
Participation and Decorum Rules and Policies in the agenda backup materials. Mr. Rubin stated
that Village Clerk Jessica Green also provided examples of Public Participation and Decorum
Rules and Policies from other municipalities in the agenda backup.
Councilmember Puyol asked if the decorum rules of civility be added to the public comment cards
and be signed by the commenter. If the commenter does not abide by the rules, the police could
escort them out of the meeting.
Mr. Rubin explained it is generally the Mayor’s task to preside over the meeting and to warn those
who are not conducting themselves according to the decorum rules. The Florida Statutes allows
for the person to be removed from the meeting.
Councilmember Bickel stated that she wanted the policy to reflect that the public receives three
(3) minutes to comment on agenda items at the beginning of the meeting regardless of the number
of topics. Councilmember Bickel asked that it be clear that letters are no longer read into the
record at Council meetings.
Mr. Rubin stated that the Town of Juno Beach was considering setting aside time in their meetings
to respond to public comment.
Mayor Searcy expressed her concerns with providing an expectation that all public comments
would be addressed.
Discussion ensued between Councilmembers, Mr. Rubin and Mrs. Green regarding what to include
in the proposed Public Participation and Decorum Rules and Policies that would be brought back
for consideration at a future Council meeting.
Draft Minutes of the Village Council Regular Session held June 12, 2024 Page 8 of 8
MAYOR AND COUNCIL MATTERS/REPORTS continued
Councilmember Puyol mentioned a letter that Council received from a resident regarding
unleashed dogs at Lakeside Park.
Chief Coliskey stated that residents should call the Police Department’s non-emergency number
when encountering dogs off leash at Lakeside Park.
Discussion ensued between Councilmembers regarding enforcement of the rules regarding
unleashed dogs at the parks.
Council agreed that signage should be updated at the parks and education regarding the
requirements for dog leashing pushed out to residents by the Communications Department.
Councilmember Puyol expressed his concerns regarding the community park at the Prosperity
Village development.
Discussion ensued between Councilmembers regarding the community park at the Prosperity
Village development.
Councilmember Puyol stated that the tile in the Country Club pool was in need of restoration.
Councilmember Puyol discussed the power lines at the proposed 200 Yacht Club Drive project.
Mr. Rubin stated that the proposed project was revised and tabled by the Planning, Zoning and
Adjustment Board contingent upon an FPL consultant providing an impact estimate for the
proposed project.
Discussion ensued between Councilmembers regarding dates of Council meetings in Jul y and
when Councilmembers would be out of town.
VILLAGE MANAGER MATTERS/REPORTS
Request for Attorney Client Session – Michael A. Bozzuto and NP Management v. Village of
North Palm Beach – Case No. 50-2024-CA002377-XXXA-MB
Council came to consensus to have an Attorney Client Session before the Regular Council meeting
on June 26, 2025. The Session would begin at 5:15 p.m. and would last for approximately thirty
(30) minutes. The Regular Council meeting would then begin at its regular time at 6 p.m.

Village Manager Samia Janjua would attend the June 26th Council meeting on his behalf.

THRU:
Honorable Mayor and Members of the Village Council
Chuck Huff, Village Manager
FROM: Jennifer Cain, Human Resources Director
DATE: June 26, 2025
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION – Approval of Amendments to the Defined Contribution and 457 Plans
Village Staff is recommending the Village Council’s adoption of a Resolution authorizing Village Staff to
amend the existing Defined Contribution Plans for Non-Union Employees (Plan #106281), Municipal
Workers (Plan #106282), Department Directors (Plan #106280), Village Manager (Plan #109501), as well
as the Village’s 457 Deferred Compensation Plan (Plan #303158), to adjust the in-service withdrawal age
to 59½. Village Staff is also seeking Council approval to amend the 457 Deferred Compensation Plan to
allow for employees to take loans against the employee’s vested account balance to be paid back in
equal installments of principal and interest over a period that does not exceed five years (extended to
fifteen years for principal residence loans).
Background:
The Village utilizes MissionSquare (formerly known as ICMA) to manage the employee’s Defined
Contribution Plan and 457 Deferred Compensation Plan. In reviewing the plans, Staff discovered that
the earliest date where the plan allowed for distributions was set to age 70½. Staff is requesting to reduce
this age to 59½ to be in-line with the normal distribution age as defined by the IRS guidelines.
Additionally, the Village’s 457 Deferred Compensation Plan has not allowed for loans for plan
participants. Staff is requesting to amend the 457 Plan to allow for loans to give employees access to
their vested contributions. This will give employees an option to have access to funding for unforeseen
circumstances or to assist with the purchase of a home. The employee would only be allowed one loan
at a time against the employee’s vested account balance, up to $50,000, to be paid back in equal
installments of principal and interest over a period that does not exceed five years. The term is extended
to fifteen years for principal residence loans. Allowing for loans against the 457 plan gives the employee
options for access to funding, while protecting their primary retirement plan.
The Defined Contribution Plans were approved by the Village Council through the adoption of Ordinance
No. 2006-26 on December 14, 2006. Consequently, any amendments to the Plans must be approved
by the Village Council.
The attached Resolution has been prepared and/or reviewed by the Village Attorney for legal sufficiency.
Recommendation:
Village Staff Requests Council consideration and approval of the attached Resolution approving
an amendment to the Village’s Defined Contributions Plans and 457 Deferred Compensation Plan
to reduce the minimum distribution age to 59½ and an amendment to the 457 Plan to allow for
loans effective July 1, 2025 and authorizing the Village Manager to execute all documents
necessary to effectuate such amendments in accordance with Village policies and procedures.

The location and type of lighting to be maintained pursuant to this Agreement is set forth in Exhibit A. Any
changes or modifications to Exhibit A must be in writing and signed by both FDOT and the MAINTAINING
AGENCY. Any Facilities added to Exhibit A during the FDOT’s fiscal year shall be maintained and operated
by the MAINTAINING AGENCY upon the FDOT’s final acceptance of installation of any new lighting and/or
lighting systems. Prior to the start of each new fiscal year, the MAINTAINING AGENCY and FDOT shall
amend Exhibit A to reflect any changes to the Facilities, including addition, removal, or change in lighting
type maintained pursuant to this Agreement.
The MAINTAINING AGENCY will be compensated for Facilities added to Exhibit A by amendment of this
Agreement in the FDOT’s fiscal year occurring after the lighting and/or lighting systems are installed and
final acceptance of such installation is given by FDOT. In the event that no change is made to the previous
year’s Exhibit A, a certification from the MAINTAINING AGENCY shall be provided to FDOT certifying that
no change has been made to Exhibit A during FDOT’s previous fiscal year. Unless stated otherwise, all
references to fiscal years within this agreement refer to FDOT’s fiscal year, beginning July 1st and ending
June 30th.
b. In maintaining the Facilities, the MAINTAINING AGENCY shall perform all activities necessary to keep the
Facilities fully operating, properly functioning, with a minimum of 90% of the lights burning for any lighting
type (e.g., high mast, standard, underdeck, and sign) or roadway system at all times in accordance with the
original design thereof, whether necessitated by normal wear and tear, accidental or intentional damage,
or acts of nature. Required maintenance includes, but is not limited to, providing electrical power and
paying all charges associated therewith, routine inspection and testing, preventative maintenance,
emergency maintenance, replacement of any component parts of the Facilities (including the poles and any
and all other component parts installed as part of the Facilities), and locating (both vertically and
horizontally) the Facilities. All repairs or replacement will be in kind unless a variance is approved in writing
by FDOT.

c. All maintenance must be in accordance with the provisions of the following:
(1) Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices; and
(2) All other applicable local, state, or federal laws, rules, resolutions, or ordinances, and FDOT
procedures.
d. For lighting installed as part of a FDOT project, the MAINTAINING AGENCY’s obligation to maintain the
Facility commences upon the MAINTAINING AGENCY’s receipt of notification from FDOT that FDOT has
formally accepted the project, except for the obligation to provide for electrical power, which obligation to
provide for electrical power commences at such time as the lighting system is ready to be energized;
provided, however, that the MAINTAINING AGENCY is not required to perform any activities which are the
responsibilities of FDOT’s contractor.
Prior to acceptance by FDOT, the MAINTAINING AGENCY shall have the opportunity to inspect and
request modifications/corrections to the installation(s). FDOT agrees to make modifications/corrections
prior to acceptance so long as the modifications/corrections comply with the installation contract documents
and specifications.
e. The term for this Agreement is seven (7) years. Either party may terminate this Agreement by a notice of
termination. The notice of termination must be in writing. Should the MAINTAINING AGENCY choose to
terminate the Agreement, the MAINTAINING AGENCY shall provide a minimum notice period of two (2)
fiscal years prior to the effective date of termination and the notice shall be endorsed by the elected body
(County Commission, City Council, or local agency governing body) under which the Agency operates. The
effective date of the termination will coincide with the end of the FDOT’s fiscal year of June 30th following
the two-year notice.
The termination of this Agreement will not terminate maintenance responsibilities for lighting owned by the
MAINTAINING AGENCY. Maintenance obligations for lights owned by the MAINTAINING AGENCY will
remain the responsibility of the MAINTAINING AGENCY. Nor does termination of this Agreement operate
to relieve the MAINTAINING AGENCY of any maintenance obligations contained in other agreements.
Maintenance of lights governed by a separate maintenance agreement will continue per the terms of that
separate maintenance agreement.
2. Compensation and Payment
FDOT shall pay to the MAINTAINING AGENCY a sum of $ 27,827.20 for the
fiscal year in which this Agreement is signed. Payments will be calculated and made in accordance with Exhibit A.
Prior to the beginning of each fiscal year, the MAINTAINING AGENCY shall submit an amended Exhibit A or a
certification of no change to Exhibit A and FDOT and the MAINTAINING AGENCY shall agree on the amount and
percentage of lighting to be paid for the coming fiscal year. FDOT will issue a work order confirming the amount
and authorizing the performance of maintenance for each new fiscal year. The work order must be an FDOT-signed
letter of authorization to the MAINTAINING AGENCY with a subject line containing the terms "State Highway
Lighting, Maintenance, and Compensation Agreement work order". The work order must reflect the contract
number, financial project number, FEID No. of the MAINTAINING AGENCY, the fiscal year, the percentage of
lighting funded and the lump sum amount to be paid for the fiscal year indicated. The work order must be signed
by the MAINTAINING AGENCY and returned to FDOT. Failure by the MAINTAINING AGENCY to take any of the
actions required by this paragraph may result in nonpayment by FDOT.
FDOT expressly assigns its rights, interests and privileges pertaining to damage to Facilities caused by third parties
to the MAINTAINING AGENCY, so they may pursue all claims and causes of actions against the third
parties responsible for the damage. FDOT will assist the MAINTAINING AGENCY and will confirm the
MAINTAINING AGENCY’s authorization to pursue recovery. The MAINTAINING AGENCY will be responsible for
all attorneys’ fees and litigation costs incurred in its recovery activities.

3. Record Keeping
The MAINTAINING AGENCY shall keep records of all activities and report all maintenance performed and
replacement components and parts installed pursuant to this Agreement. The records shall be kept in an electronic
format approved by FDOT.
Records shall be maintained and made available upon request to FDOT during the period of this Agreement and
for three (3) years after final payment for the work pursuant to this Agreement is made. Copies of these documents
and records will be furnished to FDOT upon request.
4. Invoicing
The MAINTAINING AGENCY shall invoice FDOT annually in a format acceptable to the FDOT. Invoices must be
submitted no earlier than May 1 and no later than June 15 of the fiscal year in which the services were provided in
order to be processed for payment by June 30.
Upon receipt, FDOT has five (5) working days to inspect and approve the goods and services. FDOT has twenty
(20) days to deliver a request for payment (voucher) to the Department of Financial Services. The twenty (20) days
are measured from the latter of the date the invoice is received or the goods or services are received, inspected,
and approved.
If a payment is not available within forty (40) days, a separate interest penalty at a rate as established pursuant to
Section 215.422, Florida Statutes, will be due and payable, in addition to the invoice amount, to the MAINTAINING
AGENCY. Interest penalties of less than one (1) dollar will not be enforced unless the MAINTAINING AGENCY
requests payment. Invoices returned to a MAINTAINING AGENCY because of MAINTAINING AGENCY
preparation errors will result in a delay in the payment. The invoice payment requirements do not start until a
properly completed invoice is provided to FDOT.
A Vendor Ombudsman has been established within the Department of Financial Services. The duties of this
individual include acting as an advocate for contractors/vendors who may be experiencing problems in obtaining
timely payment(s) from a state agency. The Vendor Ombudsman may be contacted at (850) 410-9724 or by calling
the Chief Financial Officer’s Hotline, 1-800-848-3792.
The State of Florida’s performance and obligation to pay under this Agreement is contingent upon an annual
appropriation by the Legislature. In the event this Agreement is in excess of $25,000 and has a term for a period
of more than one (1) year, the provisions of Section 339.135(6)(a), Florida Statutes, are hereby incorporated:
FDOT, during any fiscal year, shall not expend money, incur any liability, or enter into any contract which, by its
terms, involves the expenditure of money in excess of the amounts budgeted as available for expenditure during
such fiscal year. Any contract, verbal or written, made in violation of this subsection shall be null and void, and no
money may be paid on such contract. FDOT shall require a statement from the Comptroller of FDOT that funds
are available prior to entering into any such contract or other binding commitment of funds. Nothing herein
contained shall prevent the making of contracts for periods exceeding 1 year, but any contract so made shall be
executory only for the value of the services to be rendered or agreed to be paid for in succeeding fiscal years; and
this paragraph shall be incorporated verbatim in all contracts of FDOT which are for an amount in excess of $25,000
and which have a term for a period of more than 1 year.
5. Default
In the event that the MAINTAINING AGENCY breaches any provision of this Agreement, then in addition to any
other remedies which are otherwise provided for in this Agreement, FDOT may exercise one or more of the following
options, provided that at no time may FDOT be entitled to receive double recovery of damages:
a. Pursue a claim for damages suffered by FDOT or the public.
b. Pursue any other remedies legally available.
c. As to any work not performed by the MAINTAINING AGENCY, perform such work with its own forces or
through contractors and seek reimbursement for the cost thereof from the MAINTAINING AGENCY if the
MAINTAINING AGENCY fails to cure the non-performance within fourteen (14) days after written notice
from FDOT of the non-performance; provided, however, that advance notice and cure will not be
preconditions in the event of an emergency.

6. Force Majeure
Neither the MAINTAINING AGENCY nor FDOT will be liable to the other for any failure to perform under this
Agreement to the extent such performance is prevented by an act of God, war, riots, natural catastrophe, or other
event beyond the control of the non-performing party and which could not have been avoided or overcome by the
exercise of due diligence; provided that the party claiming the excuse from performance has (a) promptly notified
the other party of the occurrence and its estimated duration, (b) promptly remedied or mitigated the effect of the
occurrence to the extent possible, and (c) resumed performance as soon as possible.
7. Miscellaneous
a. FDOT shall consider the employment by any contractor of unauthorized aliens a violation of Section
274A(e) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. If the contractor knowingly employs unauthorized aliens,
such violation will be cause for unilateral cancellation of this Agreement.
b. The MAINTAINING AGENCY shall allow public access to all documents, papers, letters, or other material
subject to the provisions of Chapter 119, Florida Statutes, and made or received by the MAINTAINING
AGENCY in conjunction with this Agreement. Failure by the MAINTAINING AGENCY to grant such public
access will be grounds for immediate unilateral cancellation of this Agreement by FDOT.
c. This Agreement constitutes the complete and final expression of the parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, or negotiations with respect thereto.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Agreement shall replace and supersede all prior
agreements between FDOT and the MAINTAINING AGENCY with respect to maintenance of the lighting
and/or lighting systems for the Facilities identified in Exhibit A.
d. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Florida. Any provision hereof found to be unlawful
or unenforceable are severable and will not affect the validity of the remaining provisions hereof.
e. All notices required pursuant to the terms hereof may be sent by first class United States Mail, facsimile
transmission, hand delivery, electronic mail, or express mail and will be deemed to have been received by
the end of five (5) business days from the proper sending thereof unless proof of prior actual receipt is
