VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH
VILLAGE ATTORNEY’S OFFICE
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council
THRU: Andrew D. Lukasik, Village Manager
FROM: Leonard G. Rubin, Village Attorney
DATE: July 9, 2020
SUBJECT: ORDINANCE 2nd Reading – Amending Chapter 14 of the Village Code of Ordinances to
adopt a Chronic Nuisance Property Code
The purpose of this Ordinance is to identify and address properties within the Village that have a
significant adverse impact on the quality of life and safety of the surrounding area; negatively affect the
value of adjacent properties; and are a financial and operational burden on the resources of the Village,
especially the Police and Fire Rescue Departments. Once the chronic nuisance properties are identified,
the Village seeks to hold those persons responsible for such nuisance activities or conditions
accountable; assist in abating the existence of such activities and conditions; and recover the cost of
providing services to the properties.
Under the Ordinance, the Village will declare a property a chronic nuisance property if a pattern of
nuisance activity exists on the property. A pattern of nuisance activity consists of :
Police Department response to three or more nuisance activities within 30 days;
Police Department response to seven or more nuisance activities within six months; or
Police Department of Fire Rescue Department response to three or more calls within 30 days or
seven or more calls within six months to assist an individual who displays the symptoms of an
overdose of a controlled substance.
By definition, nuisance activities include a wide array of violations of the Town Code (from alcoholic
beverages to noise control) and the Florida Statutes (from battery to the discharge of firearms to
prostitution). These activities are listed in Section 14-92 of the proposed Ordinance.
Once the Village has declared a property a chronic nuisance, the Village will send a declaration of chronic
nuisance to the property owner. The declaration contains a description of the nuisance activities and
includes a proposed nuisance abatement agreement outlining the corrective action to be taken by the
property owner to remedy the nuisance activity. The corrective action plan may include a number of
abatement measures, including but limited to the following:
Commencement of eviction action to remove individuals engaged in nuisance activity from the
property;
Implementation of Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) measures;
Site visits and inspections at various times of day and night;
Hiring property management and private security;
Installing security cameras with recording capabilities;
Use of written lease agreements (rental properties) or written registers (hotels/motels) confirmed
with official identification;
Criminal background checks for prospective tenants; and
Posting of no trespassing signs
Page 2 of 2
If the property owner refuses to enter into the nuisance abatement agreement or subsequently violat es
the terms of the agreement, the case is presented to the special magistrate. If the declaration of chronic
nuisance is upheld, the special magistrate enters a chronic nuisance order which:
Authorizes the Village to provide chronic nuisance services to the property and abate the
nuisance;
Authorizes the Village to bill the costs of any chronic nuisance services to the owner of the
property; and
Authorizes the Village to require the owner of the chronic nuisance property to implement
reasonable and specific measures that the property owner must take to curtail or eliminate the
reoccurrence of nuisance activities on the property.
The chronic nuisance order remains in effect until terminated by the special magistrate when requested
by either the Village or the property owner, and the nuisance activities have been abated on the property
for a period of one year.
Once the chronic nuisance order is in place, the Village can bill the property owner for the actual cost of
providing chronic nuisance services, including calls for Police and Fire Rescue services. If the property
owner fails to pay the bill, the Village Council, through the adoption of a Resolution, may assess such
charges and impose a lien against the property. A number of municipalities impose such costs as a non-
ad valorem assessment. Due to the limited number of chronic nuisance properties within the Village, this
Ordinance provides for the imposition of a lien. However, the Ordinance may be amended to provide for
non-ad valorem assessments. Based on the statutory requirements applicable to the uniform method of
imposing and collecting non ad valorem assessments, if the Village were to adopt a notice of intent to
use the uniform method during the 2020 calendar year, such assessments would not actually be imposed
against the property until the 2022 calendar year.
When there is a change in title to property that is subject to a chronic nuisance abatement order, the new
owner has forty-five (45) days to provide the Village with an action plan and implement that plan.
On June 25, 2019, the Village Council adopted the Ordinance on First Reading by a vote of 4 -1. Based
on concerns raised by the Council, the Ordinance has been revised as follows:
The Ordinance was moved from Chapter 2, “Administration,” to Chapter 14, “Health and
Sanitation,” immediately following Article IV, which addresses the abatement of public nuisances
on private property. Section 14-83 of the Village Code provides that assessments imposed by
the Village for the abatement of nuisances on private property shall become a “first lien, equal to
a lien for nonpayment of property taxes.” Additionally, Article IV was amended to remove all
references to the code enforcement board and refer instead to the code enforcement special
magistrate.
In Section 14-95, “Declaration of chronic nuisance; action plan,” the term “shall” was substituted
for the term “may” (“If a pattern of nuisance activity exists upon real property, the Village shall
declare the property to be a chronic nuisance property”).
There is no immediate fiscal impact.
Recommendation:
Village Staff recommends Council consideration and adoption on second and final reading of the
attached Ordinance amending Chapter 14 of the Village Code of Ordinances to adopt a Chronic
Nuisance Property Code in accordance with Village policies and procedures.

village’s special magistrate or by other legal actions available to the 3
village. 4
5
(7) A statement that the costs of any chronic nuisance services provided 6
by the village to a property that has been declared to be a chronic 7

the monitoring period is adequate is in the sole and exclusive discretion of the 37
village, based on the totality of circumstances for the specific property. 38

afforded the opportunity to call or cross-examine any witness. 13

village may appeal a final order of the special magistrate to the Palm Beach County 15

requests reconsideration of the original order and the special magistrate finds that 24
the nuisance activities have been abated at the property for a period of one (1) year 25

in the office of the village clerk and in the public records of the county as a lien 32
against the property and shall be prior in dignity to all other liens against the 33
property, save and except a lien for taxes. Such assessments shall bear interest at 34

VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH
VILLAGE MANAGER’S OFFICE
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council
FROM: Andrew D. Lukasik, Village Manager
DATE: July 9, 2020
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION – Authorization of final Payment for Additional Services associated with
the North Palm Beach Country Club Project to Peacock & Lewis Architects and Planners,
LLC in the amount of $147,436.76.
Village staff is recommending Village Council’s approval of a final payment to Peacock & Lewis in the
amount of $116,114.38 for additional services associated with and included as part of the North Palm
Beach Country Club Project. Additionally, staff is recommending a payment that will address an
additional scope of work performed by Simmons and White in the amount of $31,322.38.
Scope of Work for Payment:
The services covered in this final payment include design services associated with the temporary trailers
and a second round of value engineering that occurred after the Village entered into an agreement with
Weitz Construction.
The work performed by Peacock & Lewis consisted of complete set of plans for the temporary facilities
that was mandated by the Village’s Building Official. These plans are not typical of a construction project
and exceeded the scope agreed upon by the Village Manager and Peacock & Lewis early in the design
process.
Peacock & Lewis participated in the value engineering initiative that took place after Weitz Construction
began a review of the plans in the spring of 2018. This was not included in the original scope of work and
was in addition to value engineering work that was completed in the summer of 2017, which was a part
of the original contract.
Additionally, the work performed by Simmons and White was related to engineering services necessary
to certify the project with the different agencies outside the Village. All of these services were a direct
result of the project substantial completion date being pushed several months.
Amount in Dispute:
Village staff met with both Peacock & Lewis and Simmons & White to discuss submitted invoices for the
additional services described above. The invoiced amount of $288,256.00 was in dispute. As a result,
Village staff and the principals in both firms have worked to address the disputed amount by reducing it
by 50% to bring the amount owed by the Village to $147,436.76.
