Mayor Marks called the meeting to order at 6:50 p.m. All members of Council were
present. The Village Manager was present. Also in attendance was Patricia Taylor,
Labor Consultant for the Village.
'~ PURPOSE OF THE MEETING
The purpose of the Special Workshop was to discuss the repair/renovation of holes #1
and #2 at the golf course, and to discuss revision of the Village's Personnel Rules and
Regulations.
RENOVATION/REPAIR OF HOLES #1 AND #2 ON GOLF COURSE
Discussion was held concerning the Country Club Administrative Board's desire to repair
and/or redesign holes #1 and #2 of the golf course. Jerry Nolan, Chairman of the
Country Club Administrative Board, was present on behalf of the CCAB. It was the
consensus of Council that if the holes are redesigned by subcontract through the F.I.N.D.
contractor's architect, the construction of it would still require going out to bid. This item
was forwarded to the Regular Session agenda of June 27, 1996.
PERSONNEL RULES AND REGULATIONS
After a lengthy discussion, the Village Manager was directed to obtain 5 or 6 city systems
from cities of a size comparable to North Palm Beach, and possibly from the Florida
League of Cities, and bring them back to the Council, paraphrased but unchanged, for
the Council's review.
The following changes were made to the draft Rules and Regulations:
