PUBLIC HEARINGS AND QUASI-JUDICIAL MATTERS
ORDINANCE 2023-10 CODE AMENDMENT – ANCHORAGE PARK LAUNCH RAMP STICKERS
A motion was made by Councilmember Mullinix and seconded by President Pro Tem Aubrey to
adopt on first reading Ordinance 2023-10 entitled:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE VILLAGE COUNCIL OF THE VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM
BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING ARTICLE II, “BOAT LAUNCHING AREA,” OF CHAPTER
5, “BOATS, DOCKS AND WATERWAYS,” OF THE VILLAGE CODE OF ORDINANCES
BY AMENDING SECTION 5-33 TO MODIFY THE REQUIRED LOCATION FOR
ANCHORAGE PARK LAUNCH RAMP STICKERS; PROVIDING FOR CODIFICATION;
PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Director of Leisure Services Zak Sherman explained the reason for the code amendment. The
Waterways Board and the Recreation Advisory Board had recommended changing the code that
related to the placement of launch ramp stickers on vehicles using the boat ramp at Anchorage
Park. The current ordinance states that all vehicles must have a Village launch ramp sticker
permanently affixed to the vehicle, visible from behind. The proposed revision would specify that
the launch ramp sticker should be permanently affixed to the driver side trailer tongue.
Councilmember Searcy expressed her concern regarding semi-trucks using the boat launch ramps
to load building supplies.
Mr. Sherman explained and discussed steps that the Recreation Department was taking to monitor
and address the situation.
Discussion ensued between Mr. Sherman and Councilmembers regarding possible solutions to the
issue of unpermitted uses of the boat launch ramps.
Mr. Rubin stated that the code allows Council to adopt rules and regulations related to the use of
the boat launch ramps.
Thereafter, the motion to adopt on first reading Ordinance 2023-10 passed unanimously.
ORDINANCE 2023-11 COUNTRY CLUB BUDGET AMENDMENT
A motion was made by Councilmember Mullinix and seconded by Vice Mayor Bickel to adopt on
first reading Ordinance 2023-11 entitled:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE VILLAGE COUNCIL OF THE VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM
BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING THE ADOPTED COUNTRY CLUB BUDGET FOR FISCAL
YEAR 2023 TO TRANSFER $800,000 FROM THE SPECIAL PROJECTS FUND TO THE
COUNTRY CLUB CONSTRUCTION AND MAJOR RENOVATION ACCOUNT TO FUND
THE REPLACEMENT OF THE TENNIS COURT LIGHTING AND FENCING; PROVIDING
FOR CONFLICTS; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; AND PROVIDING FOR AN
EFFECTIVE DATE.
Mr. Huff explained that the Country Club’s tennis court lighting and fencing have eroded to the
point of becoming a safety issue. The internal and external lights would be replaced with a new
LED lighting system provided by Musco Sports Lighting LLC.
Draft Minutes of the Village Council Regular Session held July 27, 2023 Page 3 of 6
ORDINANCE 2023-11 COUNTRY CLUB BUDGET AMENDMENT continued
Mr. Huff explained that staff was requesting the approval of an amendment to the Country Club
Budget to transfer $800,000 from the Special Projects Fund to the Country Club Construction and
Major Renovation Fund in order to fund the purchase.
Vice Mayor Bickel asked if the installation of the new lighting system would affect the new
landscaping and plants that were planted along the U.S. Highway 1 side of the tennis courts.
Mr. Huff stated that he did not believe the landscaping along U.S. Highway 1 would be affected
since there were no electrical lines that run underneath that landscaping.
Thereafter, the motion to adopt on first reading Ordinance 2023-11 passed unanimously.
ORDINANCE 2023-12 CODE AMENDMENT – PEDDLERS OR SOLICITORS
A motion was made by Councilmember Searcy and seconded by President Pro Tem Aubrey to
adopt on first reading Ordinance 2023-12 entitled:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE VILLAGE COUNCIL OF THE VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM
BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER 17, “LICENSES AND MISCELLANEOUS
BUSINESS REGULATIONS,” OF THE VILLAGE CODE OF ORDINANCES; AMENDING
ARTICLE II, “LOCAL BUSINESS TAX,” BY AMENDING SECTION 17-33, “BUSINESS
TAX SCHEDULE,” TO REMOVE THE ANNUAL TAX FOR CANVASSERS AND
SOLICITORS; AMENDING ARTICLE VIII, “PEDDLERS AND SOLICITORS,” BY
AMENDING SECTION 17-88, “LIMITATION ON HOURS FOR PEDDLING OR
SOLICITATION,” TO MODIFY THE PERMISSIBLE HOURS AND SECTION 17-90,
“NOTICE BY PROPERTY OWNERS,” TO CLARIFY THE ENFORCEMENT ON PRIVATE
PROPERTY; PROVIDING FOR CODIFICATION; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; AND
PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Mr. Rubin discussed and explained the purpose and reasons for the code amendment. The code
amendment would revise the fee charged to solicitors by removing the required $346.50 annual
business tax and leaving only the $115.50 charge per peddler or solicitor, and revise the
permissible time for a person holding a permit to engage in peddling and soliciting activities to
between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and dusk, Monday through Saturday. The last sentence of Section
17-90 of the Village Code was amended to read as follows: “Where streets are privately owned,
the owner may post a clearly legible sign at each entrance to the privately owned street indicating
that peddling or soliciting is prohibited.”
Councilmember Mullinix discussed and expressed his concerns with the proposed revisions to the
code. Councilmember Mullinix stated that he only agreed with removing the annual business tax
fee and charging the $115.50 charge per peddler or solicitor and recommended the remainder of
the code remain as is.
Discussion ensued between Mr. Rubin, Councilmembers and Police Chief Richard Jenkins
regarding the proposed permissible time to allow peddlers or solicitors to engage in peddling and
soliciting activities.
Council came to consensus revise the permissible time for a person holding a permit to engage in
peddling and soliciting activities to between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m.
Draft Minutes of the Village Council Regular Session held July 27, 2023 Page 4 of 6
ORDINANCE 2023-12 CODE AMENDMENT – PEDDLERS OR SOLICITORS continued
Discussion ensued regarding the enforcement of “no soliciting” signs and requiring a visible
display of a solicitor or peddlers permit.
Thereafter, the motion to adopt on first reading Ordinance 2023-12 with a revision to the
permissible time for a person holding a permit to engage in peddling and soliciting activities to
between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m., passed 4 to 1 with Mayor Norris, Vice Mayor Bickel,
President Pro Tem Aubrey and Councilmember Searcy voting aye and Councilmember Mullinix
voting nay.
RESOLUTION 2023-58 – ESTABLISHING A TENTATIVE MILLAGE RATE FOR FY 2023-2024
AND SETTING THE 1ST PUBLIC HEARING
A motion was made by Vice Mayor Bickel and seconded by Councilmember Searcy to adopt

FISCAL YEAR 2024; ESTABLISHING A DATE, TIME, AND PLACE FOR THE FIRST

Preliminary Budget Summary and explained that personnel and operating expenses were the
majority of the costs involved in the total budget of $41,546,758. Mr. Huff clarified that there was
an increase of thirteen (13) part-time employee positions in Fiscal Year 2023 and that in the
proposed Fiscal Year 2024 budget there would be a total of fifteen (15) part-time employee
positions and the elimination of one (1) full-time employee position. The difference between FY

Country Club Preliminary Budget Summary, the General Fund Summary FY 2023 versus FY 2024
and FY 2024 General Fund Preliminary Budget Summary. The proposed FY 2024 General Fund
Summary showed an increase of 11.75% from the prior FY 2023.
Councilmember Mullinix expressed his concerns regarding the 11.75% increase and stated that the
increase would not be sustainable.
Mr. Huff explained that the increase was not only from personnel costs, but also from the rising
costs of what the Village purchases in order to operate. Mr. Huff continued his presentation by
reviewing the 5-Year CIP Cash Flow Summary, FY 2024 Proposed CIP Projects, which totaled
$7,502,684, the Stormwater Utility Fund Non Ad-Valorem Assessment total fund budget of
$500,000, FY 2024 Taxable Value and Millage FY 2023 and FY 2024 comparisons and the FY

Public Comment:
Royale Harbour Condo Association President (386 Golfview Rd) thanked the Planning
Commission for their approval of the application.
B. RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE VILLAGE COUNCIL
1. Artificial Turf
Village-initiated zoning text amendment to adopt new section (45-29), codifying the residential
ad-hoc committee recommendations to regulate artificial turf
Staff presentation made by Corey O’Gorman to continue the conversation from the previous
Planning Commission meeting in March. It began with a review of the previously stated
information from March 7, 2023. He explained the allowance of 25% artificial turf coverage on a
lot and provided additional details on types of substrates for artificial turf as well as the
environmental issues associated with the substrate composition used.
Public Comment:
Blaire Rodgers (824 Country Club Drive):
She addressed the staff regarding her dislike of the new zoning text amendment, which would
require her to remove sections of artificial turf in her backyard. She also felt that the percentage
allowance would create design issues, resulting in a less attractive landscape in her and other
backyards. Mr. Cross questioned if the code requires a percentage of landscaping coverage in
residential lots. Mr. Ahrenholz explained that there is code requiring maintenance but not requiring
landscape coverage. Mr. Cross asked for clarification on the process chosen to select the turf used
by Mrs. Rodgers. She stated it was a decision based on her children's ability to play and aesthetics.
Mr. Cross thanked Mrs. Rodgers for her comments.
Mr. Haigh recommended regulating and adding limitations to the infill material in the code. He
also recommended keeping the ten (10) year sunset date.
Mr. Hogarth raised concern over the ability to enforce these regulations if recommended by the
Planning commission and stated he is a proponent of artificial turf for residential lots.
Mr. Solodar questioned the Council’s decision to allow a ten (10) year sunset date for artificial
turf. Mr. Rubin explained this decision was made to protect Village residents’ investments,
especially those who recently installed artificial turf on their lots. Mr. Solodar recommended
removing the sunset date and limiting the coverage to the back and side yards.
Minutes of Village Planning Commission Regular Meeting held on May 2, 2023
3
Mrs. DeWitt recommended removing the sunset date and the coverage percentage.
The Planning Commission recommended Council to strike the limit on artificial turf, to only permit
sand and organic infill, and to strike the sunset date.
Motion made by Thomas Hogarth to recommend approval as specified above, seconded by
Kathryn DeWitt. Motion passed 6-1.
2. C-3 Regional Business District
Village-initiated zoning text amendment to the C-3 Regional Business District. A review of the
comments from the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) was presented.
Staff presentation made by Alex Ahrenholz on the updates of approvals, which all outside
organizations have now signed off on. FDOT commented that best practices would add a density
cap, typicall y added to the comprehensive plan. Regarding 200 Yacht Club Drive, which still under
review, a different approach was taken. Mr. Ahrenholz asked for input from the Planning
Commission on the density cap in the C-3 district. Cory Cross questioned whether there would be
a density cap recommendation for the village that neither the text amendment nor the 200 Yacht
Club Drive project would influence.
Mr. Hicks questioned if a general cap can be put in place and if a traffic study still be done. Mr.
Ahrenholz stated that this can be done, and the situation would be reevaluated when a master plan
is submitted for 200 Yacht Club Drive.
Mr. Solodar questioned the council whether the decision has legal precedent or if it is just to subdue
future issues that may be brought forward to the Planning Commission. Len Rubin stated that it is
not a legal requirement and the FDOT did not formally reject the amendment.
Mr. Hogarth questioned if the amendment would prevent the lane reduction project on US-1. Mr.
Ahrenholz commented it is hard to say.
Kathryn DeWitt questioned if the Village could request the traffic study be based upon the lane
reduction and Mr. Ahrenholz confirmed they could request that.
Mr. Haigh questioned the timeframe for completing a traffic study and commented that it would
be more efficient for the Village to do this when the actual project is presented, rather than based
on a hypothetical scenario. Nathan Kennedy agreed with Mr. Haigh.
Public Comment:
Chris Ryder (118 Dory Road South)
He addressed the Board Members regarding concern of revisions made to the comprehensive plan,
which now allows unlimited residential density. He noted that using Floor Area Ratio (FAR) to
regulate residential density compared to a residential density maximum can lead to inconstant infill
development. Cory Cross commented that the claims made require certain approvals that will not
happen and thanked Mr. Ryder for his comments.
Minutes of Village Planning Commission Regular Meeting held on May 2, 2023

Deborah Cross (2560 Pepperwood Circle South)
Mrs. Cross agreed with the FDOT’s suggestion of a traffic maximum. Nathan Kennedy asked for
clarification on the negative FDOT comments. Mr. Ahrenolz confirmed they were outstanding and
the comprehensive plan is being updated. Mr. Cross questioned the ability to involve a traffic
engineer for a study. Mr. Ahrenholz explained that it is unnecessary to spend money on a traffic
engineer when Robins NPB LLC must complete one as well. Mr. Solodar commented that he
agrees with Mr. Ahrenholz.
No recommendation was made by the Planning Commission.
C. COMMISSION MATTERS

VILLAGE ATTORNEY’S OFFICE
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council
THRU: Chuck Huff, Village Manager
FROM: Leonard G. Rubin, Village Attorney
DATE: August 10, 2023
SUBJECT: ORDINANCE 1st Reading – Amendment to Home-Based Business Regulations to
Comply with State Preemption Requirements
Through the enaction of Chapter 2021-202, Laws of Florida, the Florida Legislature adopted Section
559.955, Florida Statutes, restricting the ability of municipalities and other units of local government to
regulate home-based businesses. Section 559.955, Florida Statutes, specifically prohibits the Village
from enacting or enforcing any ordinance, regulation, or policy in violation of the restrictions set forth
therein. It further allows any adversely affected current or prospective home-based business to file suit
against the Village for a violation of the state-mandated restrictions and awards attorney’s fees and costs
to the prevailing party.
The attached Ordinance repeals the Village’s existing regulations for home occupations and replaces
them with the restrictions permitted by statute. To that end, the Ordinance adopts a new Section 17-3 to
provide as follows:
Affirms that a business may operate, in whole or part, from a residential property in compliance
with the statutory regulations.
Provides that employees who work at the residential dwelling must also reside in the dwelling,
except up to two employees or residential contractors who do not reside at the dwelling may work
at the business. The business may have additional remote employees.
Affirms that parking must comply with the Village’s existing parking regulations. The need for
parking generated by the business may not be greater in volume than would normally be expected
at a similar residence where no business is conducted. Vehicles and trailers used in connection
with the business must be parked in legal parking spaces that are not located within the right-of-
way (including the swale), on or over a sidewalk, or on any unimproved surfaces. Commercial
vehicles, equipment, or machinery may not be visible from the street or neighboring property.
Requires that any external modifications made to the dwelling to accommodate the business must
conform to the residential character and architectural aesthetics of the neighborhood. As viewed
from the street, the use of the dwelling must be consistent with the uses of the residential areas
surrounding the property.
Requires that all retail transactions be conducted inside the dwelling structure; however, other
business uses and activities may occur on the property.
Provides that the business activities must be secondary to the property’s use as a residential
dwelling.
Requires home-based businesses to comply with all Village Code standards and requirements,
including noise regulations, and with the standards for permitted uses and structures for the
zoning district in which the business exists.
Requires all home-based businesses to comply with all local, state, and federal regulations with
the respect to the use, storage, or disposal of any corrosive, combustible, or other hazardous or
flammable materials or liquids.
Clarifies that transient accommodations (including vacation rentals) are not permitted as a home-
based business except as provided elsewhere in the Code.
The state legislation allows the Village to enforce its sign regulations in the same manner as it they apply
to residences where no business is conducted. Therefore, no additional signage would generally be
allowed, with the potential exception of temporary signage.
The attached Ordinance has been prepared by this office and reviewed for legal sufficiency.
There is no fiscal impact.
Recommendation:
Village Staff requests Council consideration and approval on first reading of the attached
Ordinance amending the Village’s home-based business regulations to comply with state
preemption requirements in accordance with Village policies and procedures.

VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH
PARKS AND RECREATION
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council
THRU: Chuck Huff, Village Manager
FROM: Zakariya M. Sherman, Director of Leisure Services
DATE: August 10, 2023
SUBJECT: ORDINANCE 2nd Reading – Amending Chapter 5-33 of the Village Code of Ordinances
Addressing the Placement of Village Launch Ramp Stickers
At the recommendation of the Waterways Board and the Recreation Advisory Board, Village Staff is
proposing a change to Section 5-33 of the Village Code of Ordinances relating to the placement of Village
launch ramp stickers on vehicles using the boat ramp at Anchorage Park or parking with a trailer at
Anchorage Park.
The current ordinance states that all vehicles must have a Village launch ramp sticker permanently affixed
to the vehicle, visible from behind. However, Staff recommends an amendment to modify this
requirement. The proposed revision would specify that the sticker should be permanently affixed to the
driver side trailer tongue (see attached photo). This adjustment aims to provide boat owners with greater
flexibility while still ensuring proper identification and compliance with Village regulations.
The revised section of the ordinance would read as follows:
"All vehicles using the boat ramps of Anchorage Park or parking with a trailer at Anchorage Park must
have a village launch ramp sticker permanently affixed to the driver side trailer tongue."
Implementing this change simplifies the process for individuals and offers multiple benefits. First, by
placing the sticker on the driver side trailer tongue instead of the rear of the vehicle, individuals are
relieved from the task of finding an appropriate spot on their vehicle, eliminating the need to consider
factors like vehicle design, surface material, or potential damage to the vehicle's exterior, thereby
simplifying the process and saving time. Second, the standardized placement promotes uniformity and
consistency in display as each sticker will be in the same spot, ensuring a standardized approach across
all vehicles. Third, this placement improves visibility for enforcement purposes, facilitating quick
verification, and minimizing disputes related to sticker placement. Finally, this change improves the
longevity of the sticker through secure attachment, reducing the chances of accidental removal or
tampering during transportation or the use of the boat ramp. Overall, this modification streamlines the
process, protects vehicles, enhances visibility, promotes consistency, and ensures the durability of the
Village launch ramp stickers.
At its July 27, 2023 meeting, the Village Council unanimously approved the Ordinance on first reading
without modification.
The attached Ordinance has been prepared/reviewed for legal sufficiency by the Village Attorney and there
is no fiscal impact.
Recommendation:
Village Staff requests Council consideration and approval on second and final reading of the
attached Ordinance amending Section 5-33 of the Village Code of Ordinances to modify the
location of the launch ranch sticker from the rear of the vehicle to the driver side trailer tongue in
accordance with Village policies and procedures.

VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH
COUNTRY CLUB
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council
THRU: Chuck Huff, Village Manager
FROM: Beth Davis, General Manager
DATE: August 10, 2023
SUBJECT: ORDINANCE – 2nd Reading – Country Club Budget Amendment for Tennis Court
Lighting and Fence System
Village Staff is requesting Council consideration and adoption of an Ordinance amending the Country Club
Budget to provide funding to conduct emergency replacement of the tennis court lighting and court fencing
system that is twenty-five (25) plus years old and structurally failing.
Background:
NPBCC Tennis Center features ten (10) lighted HarTru (clay) tennis courts. These ten courts are in five bays
of two courts each facing north south. Currently, the lighting schematic for these ten courts consists of twenty
(20) concrete poles on the perimeter and eleven (11) aluminum poles located down the middle of the bays.
Several of the light box fixtures were loose and have required installation of temporary brackets to secure for
safety. All of the aluminum light poles are rusting and the concrete poles, built in 1970, are compromised
due to internal corrosion. Fencing is structurally obsolete with main support posts rusted throughout causing
the top and bottom rails to sag which results in rails and mesh encroaching on the court surface, which has a
negative effect on drainage. Staff has had several vendors out to inspect both the lighting and fencing, and
all have recommended replacement due to the age and failure of both the aluminum, mesh, and cement
structures.
This emergency replacement will create a safer work and play environment, while also reducing the energy
consumed, resulting in lower utility costs and vastly improving the quality of light.
Lighting Proposal:
Musco Sports Lighting, LLC has presented a proposal to remove the old pole lighting system and install
a new turnkey Light Structure System™ with Total Light Control – TLC for LED™ technology. The current
lighting system at the Tennis Center consists of old Metal Halide/HID lights, which require a ballast and
a lengthy warm-up period to achieve full brightness, unlike the “instant-on” capabilities of LED technology.
This innovative solution is highly regarded for retrofit installations across a range of venues, including
multi-purpose fields, basketball courts, tennis facilities, and stadiums. The thirty-one (31) poles will be
removed and replaced with twelve (12) galvanized steel poles with guaranteed light levels of 50
Footcandles, which will achieve the necessary lighting levels in accordance with the USTA (United States
Tennis Association) standards. It is worth noting that Musco's lights also come with a 25-year warranty.
The widespread adoption of Musco lighting by other local municipalities, counties, and institutions further
strengthens Staff’s confidence in its products. Florida Atlantic University (FAU), the City of Palm Beach
Gardens, Palm Beach County, the Town of Jupiter, the City of Boca Raton, and the City of Delray Beach
are just a few examples of entities that have embraced Musco lighting solutions.
Pricing:
The proposal from Musco Sports Lighting, LLC is pursuant to pricing established in an existing contract
with Sourcewell (Contract No. 041123-MSL), expiring June 16, 2027. The Village’s purchasing policies
and procedures authorize concurrent competitive purchasing on other state and local government
contracts. A secondary quote was obtained from a qualified vendor to verify “fair market value” as
required by the Village’s purchasing policies and procedures. Despite the lower cost provided by the
secondary quote, Staff recommends selecting the higher quote based on reference checks.
As part of the decision-making process, Staff looked into the experiences of other entities that have
utilized the other lighting company. Unfortunately, the feedback was less than favorable. One city
encountered electrical issues following the company’s work, and instead of taking responsibility, the
company attempted to shift the blame onto the city. This lack of accountability raises concerns about the
company’s professionalism and reliability.
Moreover, reports from other cities highlighted issues with glare and disruptive lighting from the other
company’s LED field lights. Players and surrounding communities were affected by the excessive glare,
indicating potential shortcomings in the company’s quality control. In addition, their lights were observed
to turn on and off independently throughout the day and night due to the absence of contactors. This
lack of control undermines the functionality and reliability of the lighting system.
Lastly, the other company offers a 10-year warranty on their equipment. While this might seem
reasonable, it raises questions about the long-term reliability and support that they can provide compared
to Musco Lighting, which offers a 25-year warranty.
Considering all these factors, Staff believes that Musco Lighting is clearly the superior choice for the
Village’s lighting needs at the NPBCC Tennis Center. The company’s extensive experience, innovative
TLC technology, widespread adoption by other municipalities, existing compatibility with existing
infrastructure, and reputation for excellence make Musco the ideal partner for this project. With Musco
Lighting, the Village can provide our community with reliable, efficient, and high-quality lighting that
enhances safety and enjoyment for years to come.
Fencing Proposal:
Village Staff obtained a proposal to remove, dispose and replace the chain-link fence, support posts and
railings with new 10’ black chain link fence, posts, and railings at a cost not to exceed $150,000. In lieu
of the job coming in less, those monies would be allocated back to the special projects fund.
Funding:
Staff is seeking to utilize funds from the Village’s Special Project Fund to purchase and install a new
tennis lighting system in accordance with Village policies and procedures. Because the transfer of funds
increases the Country Club budget, a budget amendment Ordinance is required:
Budget Amendment:
Fund Account Description Use Source
Country Club L3900-09169 Transfer from Special Projects Fund $800,000
Country Club L8050-66210 Construction & Major Renovation $800,000
Total $800,000 $800,000
The attached Ordinance has been prepared and reviewed for legal sufficiency by the Village Attorney. The
Resolution and Contract approving the purchase from Musco Sports Lighting, LLC will be coming to Village
Council for approval with the 2nd Reading of this Ordinance.
At its July 27, 2023 meeting, the Village Council adopted the Ordinance on first reading by unanimous
vote without modification.
Recommendation:
Village Staff requests Council consideration and adoption on second and final reading of the
attached Ordinance approving an amendment to the Country Club Budget to transfer $800,000
from the Special Projects Fund to the Country Club Construction and Major Renovation Fund and
authorizing the Mayor and Village Clerk to execute the required budget amendment to fund the
replacement of the tennis court lighting and fencing in accordance with Village policies and
procedures.

VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH
VILLAGE ATTORNEY’S OFFICE
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council
THRU: Chuck Huff, Village Manager
FROM: Leonard G. Rubin, Village Attorney
DATE: August 10, 2023
SUBJECT: ORDINANCE 2nd Reading – Amendment to the Regulations Governing Peddlers and
Solicitors set forth in Chapter 17 of the Village Code of Ordinances
The Village received correspondence from a law firm representing a pest control company that utilizes
door-to-door solicitation as a means of procuring new customers. This firm asserted that certain portions
of the Village’s regulations governing peddlers and solicitors are invalid and unconstitutional, specifically,
the fee charged to solicitors, the hours during which solicitation and peddling are permitted, and the
enforcement of restrictions implemented by homeowner’s associations or condominium associations.
Having completed such review, this office is recommending the following revisions to the Village Code:
1. Fee Charged to Solicitors
Currently, Section 17-33 requires that persons engaged in peddling and soliciting pay a business tax of
$346.50 per year and an additional fee of $115.50 per peddler and solicitor. Because peddlers and
solicitors are engaged in protected activity, the Village may only impose such fees as are necessary to
defray administrative expenses. Furthermore, the Village generally may not collect a business tax
against an entity that does not have a permanent office or location within the Village. Consequently, the
proposed Ordinance removes the $346.50 annual business tax, leaving only the $115.50 charge per
peddler or solicitor to cover the costs of conducting the background check and issuing the required permit.
2. Hours for Solicitation and Peddling
Section 17-88 of the Village Code currently restricts peddling and solicitation activities to between the
hours of 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. There are numerous cases holding that the imposition of a curfew
during daylight hours is an unconstitutional restriction on commercial speech. While the Village enacted
its current regulations “to guard against unscrupulous business practices and potential criminal activity
and protect the peace and tranquility of persons within their homes,” the Village may only impose
restrictions “necessary to advance substantial government interests.” The courts have held that curfews
during daylight hours fail to advance such interests. Based on the foregoing, the proposed Ordinance
extends the permissible time for a person holding a permit to engage in peddling and soliciting activities
to between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and dusk, Monday through Saturday.
3. Enforcement of Association Regulations
Finally, the law firm challenged the Village’s enforcement of no solicitation rules imposed by homeowner
associations and condominium associations, arguing that the Village’s enforcement of these rules
violates the individual homeowner’s rights to receive information from its client. While the case law is not
Page 2 of 2
as clear on the issue raised by the law firm, under Florida law, the Village lacks the ability to enforce rules
and covenants imposed by such associations because they are private contractual rights between the
association and the property owners. However, if streets are privately owned by an association or
otherwise, these streets are private property and an association, like any other property owner, may post
a no soliciting or no peddling sign at the entrance to the street. To that end, the proposed Ordinance
amends the last sentence of Section 17-90 of the Village Code to read as follows: “Where streets are
privately owned, the owner may post a clearly legible sign at each entrance to the privately owned street
indicating that peddling or soliciting is prohibited.”
At its July 27, 2023 meeting, the Village Council approved the Ordinance on first reading by a vote
of four to one with the following conditions/concerns: (1) the permitted hours for peddling and
soliciting be changed from 9:00 a.m. to dusk to 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. for ease of enforcement;
and (2) the Code clearly provide that a solicitation/peddling permit be prominently displayed. To
that end, Section 17-88 has been revised to reflect a curfew of 8:00 p.m. and Section 17-87 has
been revised to state as follows: “Every person issued a permit pursuant to this article shall have
the permit on display and readily visible at all times while engaging in peddling or soliciting
activities within the Village.”
The attached Ordinance has been prepared by this office and reviewed for legal sufficiency.
There is no fiscal impact.
Recommendation:
Village Administration requests Council consideration and approval on second and final reading
of the attached Ordinance amending the fees and regulations applicable to peddlers and
solicitors as set forth in Chapter 17 of the Village Code of Ordinances in accordance with Village
policies and procedures.

LEISURE SERVICES
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Village Council
THRU: Chuck Huff, Village Manager
FROM: Zakariya M. Sherman, Director of Leisure Services
DATE: August 10, 2023
SUBJECT: MOTION – Considering Presentations Made by Firms Advanced to the Short List for
Professional Planning and Design Services to Develop a Master Plan for Osborne Park
and Community Center, Determining the Top-Ranked Firm, and Authorizing Staff to
Negotiate a Contract.
Instructions:
The Village Council will have the opportunity to consider presentations made by the firms that have
advanced to the short list. Each Council member will independently evaluate the firms based on their
presentations and rank them in order of preference. Following the presentations and evaluations, a
motion will be made to determine the top-ranked firm. Upon selection, Council will authorize staff to
commence negotiations for an agreement with the chosen firm. In the event that negotiations with the
top-ranked firm prove unsuccessful, the Village will terminate negotiations and proceed to negotiate with
the next highest-ranked firm.
Background:
In 2021, Village Staff conducted a Parks and Recreation needs assessment in conjunction with Barth
Associates. Staff, residents, and stakeholders were engaged in the process which examined the
department’s facilities, grounds, and programming levels. From that process, Barth Associates
developed a list of potential improvements at each park as well as several short and long-range
recommendations. One of the recommendations was to develop conceptual master plans for Osborne
Park and the Community Center. Consequently, Staff budgeted $60,000 in FY23 for professional
planning services.
Currently, Osborne Park, located at 705 Prosperity Farms Road, features a multi-purpose building, six
(6) three-wall racquetball courts, one (1) outdoor basketball court, a children’s playground, a community
garden, a tiki hut, two (2) batting cages, two (2) ball fields, a concession stand, and a picnic area. The
needs assessment revealed that residents desired more trees for shade, a multi-purpose walking path
around the perimeter, updated restrooms, improved signage, an improved playground, pickleball courts,
and a splash pad.
The Community Center, located at 1200 Prosperity Farms Road, currently features a multi-purpose ball
field, a sand volleyball court, a fitness trail, a children’s playground, a full gymnasium, a performance
stage, three (3) indoor pickleball courts, three (3) outdoor basketball courts, indoor volleyball courts, a
concession stand, and a picnic area. The needs assessment revealed that residents desired more trees
for shade, shaded benches along sidewalks, open views and activation of the back of the park, a dog
run, improved signage, additional fitness stations along trail, patio tables and chairs, game tables on the
plaza, a ropes course, and a skateboard park. We also heard from staff and residents about the building
façade, the stage, the parking lot, and the lack of staff and meeting room space.
As part of the master planning process, the residents, as well as staff and stakeholders, will once again
be engaged in discussions about park improvements, renovations, and redevelopment. This time,
however, conceptual plans taking into account the proposed changes will be presented along with a
financial plan and action plan. To that end, Village staff initiated the process to select a consultant to
develop the master plans through the RFQ process.
Request for Qualifications (RFQ) Process:
In accordance with Section 287.055, Florida Statutes (CCNA), the Village issued an RFQ on June 1, 2023 in
an effort to identify the most qualified firm to provide parks master planning services to the Village.
A Selection Committee consisting of Leisure Services Director Zak Sherman, Director of Public Works Chad
Girard, and Superintendent of Parks and Recreation Stephen Poh participated in the initial review of the
qualification statements. The following three firms submitted their qualification statements on June 15, 2023:
Cotleur & Hearing,
Team Plan Inc., and
Chen Moore and Associates
Based upon the Committee’s review of the qualification statements submitted by each firm, the Committee
shortlisted Cotleur & Hearing, Team Plan Inc., and Chen Moore and Associates at the Committee’s meeting
on June 22, 2023 and invited all three firms to make presentations to Council.
In accordance with the requirements of the RFQ issued by the Village, Staff is requesting Village Council’s
evaluation of the presentations made by the shortlisted firms for professional planning and design
services to develop a master plan for Osborne Park and Community Center. The objective is to determine
the top-ranked firm that will be entrusted with developing the master plans for Osborne Park and the
Community Center. Council's authorization is also sought to empower staff to commence contract
negotiations with the selected firm. If Staff is unable to negotiate an agreement, Staff will terminate
negotiations with the top ranked firm and begin negotiations with the second-highest ranked firm. If
negotiations fail with both the top ranked firm and the second-highest ranked firm, staff will terminate
negotiations and commence negotiations with the third-highest ranked firm.
Recommendation:
Village Staff recommends Council consideration of the presentations and approval of a motion
accepting the ranking of the firms, as determined through the Council's evaluation, for the
completion of a Master Plan for Osborne Park and the Community Center and authorizing Staff to
commence negotiations with the top-ranked firm. If Staff is unable to negotiate an agreement
with the top-ranked firm, Staff will terminate negotiations and move down the list to the next
highest-ranked firm as required by the CCNA.

areas of land planning, engineering, and architecture provide the services necessary to deliver
the Village an exquisite master plan for Osborne Park and the Village Community Center.
Our team members include:

Kimley-Horn and Associates - a nationally recognized civil engineering firm with concentrations
in municipal governance and landscape architecture with a local office in West Palm Beach.
Currie Sowards Aguila Architects - a local architectural firm that specializes in, among other
things, municipal buildings and outdoor activity areas.
Our approach to the project will be inclusive, transparent, and methodical. If selected, we intend
to utilize a combination of public participation events, community surveys, and stakeholder
interviews to solicit input regarding the best and highest uses for the park and center. Events
that we intend to participate in to solicit comments regarding the master plan include special
events held at the Village County Club and Anchorage Park and sporting events held at both
locations. In addition, our office will conduct an exhaustive community survey regarding the
master plan and provide the Village the results in both written and statistical formats so that the
results can be used to successfully navigate the decision making process regarding each facility.
5 | P a g e
The purpose and intent of our proposal is to include the community, staff, and stakeholders in
every step of the decision making process regarding the master plan. To that end, we will conduct
stakeholder interviews, preferably at Town Hall or the Country Club, with designees that have a
special interest in the park or center, including members of the Village Recreation Advisory Board
and leaders of the various activities conducted at both facilities.
Our focus will not only include analysis of outdoor activities that occur at both locations, but also
the infrastructure necessary to support multiple uses and evaluation of indoor activity
opportunities. Team member Kimley-Horn & Associates brings valuable expertise to the Village
in the areas of civil engineering and design for this purpose. Plans developed by our team will be
vetted for compliance with drainage and floodplain requirements to ensure little or no impact on
the Village. Also, team member Currie Sowards Aguila Architects will provide architectural
guidance that celebrates the unique character of the Village. Currie Sowards will also evaluate
the physical wellbeing of existing structures at each location and make recommendations
regarding the best use of multi-activity buildings and structures.
Ultimately, Team Plan will provide a comprehensive master plan for planned improvements to
Osborne Park and the Community Center. The master plan will be presented to the Village
Council for comment and review no less than two times. In addition, the pla n will be presented
to the Recreation Advisory Board for input, advice, and endorsement prior to delivery to the
Council. At a minimum, the plan will include no less than two alternatives for each facility, with
call-outs that highlight specific recommendations based on input from Village residents,
stakeholders, and staff. In addition, the plans prepared by our office will be provided to the
Village in both paper and electronic formats, and in color and B&W for reproduction purposes.
Further, if selected by the Village, we understand the full scope of the work to be done, commit
to performing the work within the time period established by the Village, and are able to and will
comply with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and ordinances of the Villa ge, Palm Beach
County, the State of Florida, and the United States.
We hope you find the attached acceptable and we look forward to your support.
Very truly yours,

F. PROJECT APPROACH
Approach:
The Project Team will take a transparent, inclusive, and methodical approach toward providing
the deliverables described in the scope of services to develop a Master Plan for Osborne Park
and the Village Community Center, with a heavy emphasis on public participation by Village
residents, stakeholders, staff, and elected and appointed officials.
It is our firm belief that the acceptable outcome of the plan will be predicated on public
participation; therefore, the team will host and attend a series of public outreach events to solicit
public input and direction. In addition, the team will develop and conduct an exhaustive on-line
public survey and conduct interviews of key personnel and officials to seek guidance regarding
the highest and best uses for each facility. Further, the lead firm will thoroughly analyze the
demographic and historic trends of the population in the Village to ascertain the projected short
and long-term needs of the community based on regression and statistical analysis.
The team will utilize this information to develop a minimum of two (2) conceptual alternatives
for each facility, with call-outs that highlight specific recommendations based on input received
from the public participation, survey, and interview processes. The conceptual alternatives will
be presented to the Village Council at a public workshop for input and guidance prior to
finalization. Upon finalization, the alternatives will be presented to the Recreation Advisory
Board for input, advice, and endorsement prior to delivery to the Council.
The Team will consolidate the comments received from the Council and advisory board(s) to
develop a final master plan, financial plan, and action plan for Osborne Park the Village
Recreation Center consistent with the Scope of Work described in the RFQ. It is anticipated that
a second public workshop may be required prior to scheduling the master plan for adoption by
the Village Council; therefore, the master plan will be presented to the Village Council for
comment and review no less than two times.
Ultimately, the Project Team is committed to providing a comprehensive master plan for planned
improvements to Osborne Park and the Village Community Center. Due to our location and
proximity to Town Hall, scheduling and attending meetings as often as necessary is not an issue
and representatives from the entire Project Team will make themselves available as necessary to
address comments or questions from Village staff and officials.

Work Required by Village:
Work required by the Village to complete the project using the approach described above is as
follows:
1. An abstracted as-built survey with topo information for each site, electronically signed and
sealed, in paper and CAD format, is required to accurately draft plans and improvements. If
recent surveys are not available, the team can provide survey work. If surveys are not
available, the team will require a title report for each site from the Village to ensure any/all
encumbrances are identified. The team can assist the Village with obtaining title reports.
2. Assistance posting an on-line survey on the Village website and collecting responses/data.
3. Assistance scheduling workshops and meetings, as necessary.
4. Assignment of one staff person to attend public participation events, as necessary.
5. Assignment of a point-of-contact for the team to coordinate with on a daily or weekly basis.
Our Services:
What differentiates the services we offer the Village from our competitors is the depth and
breadth of knowledge and experience regarding urban and regional planning, public
participation, and urban design. Team Plan is a land planning and design firm that specializes in
town planning, sustainable development, emergent urbanism, revitalization, and place making.
Our commitment to exceptional public service is demonstrated by over 40 years in practice.
In addition, our team includes special knowledge and experience in civil engineering and
architecture. These services were deliberately included on the team because we realize it is
important to recognize the Village as unique and as a special and desirable place to live, work,
and play. For these reasons the team believes it is important for any improvements to existing
buildings to be architecturally consistent with other significant municipal buildings and structures
in the Village and to accentuate the existing character of the village.
Also, the team believes that all improvements to public grounds in the community should set a
standard and high-bar for others to follow by endorsing the principals of low-impact
development (LID).6 Our focus, in part, on sustainable stormwater management, the creative
use of native landscape materials, and low-impact design sets our team apart from other
consultants.

H. PROJECT SCHEDULE
The team has laid out a methodical approach to the project that can concisely described in three
phases as follows:
Phase 1 – data collection and analysis: public participation, survey, interviews; demographic
analysis of Village and historic trends; inventory and analysis of current park infrastructure
Phase 2 – scenario planning: development and presentation of preliminary plans (minimum
of two alternatives for each location) to Village Council and advisory board(s) at workshops;
draft financial & action plans, including identification of deficiencies and how to address them
Phase 3 – master plans: development of final master plans, financial plans, and action plans
for Osborne Park and the Village Recreation Center and presentation to the Recreation
Advisory Board for endorsement and Village Council for adoption in an easy to read format
The team anticipates the timeframe to collect the data necessary to ascertain the best approach
to develop the alternatives described above is 120 days. The data and analysis time period will
be followed by an intensive design session during which the team will development and present
two conceptual alternatives for each facility to the Village Council and advisory board(s) for
further input and direction at workshops. The team anticipates this phase of the project to be
concluded within ninety days.
The third and final phase of the project entails taking the information garnered from Phase 1 and
Phase 2 to develop master plans for Osborne Park and the Village Recreation Center and to

the spaces we create. The design and its implementation
represent a fraction of our work’s anticipated life. We work
closely with you to make certain inherited facilities can be

Landscapes and infrastructure should be sustainable
socially, environmentally, and economically.
CMA believes parks play a vital role in our communities. Parks lay a healthy foundation for community
development. They can catalyze community revitalization, engage the community, and support economic
development through enhancement of property values and increased municipal revenue. Parks can
promote tourism by providing venues for special events, festivals, and sports tournaments and often
contain special facilities such as zoos, memorials, or significant cultural artifacts. Socially, parks create
safer neighborhoods and provide an environment where people can connect with nature and benefit from
physical activity, social interaction, and a cleaner environment raising their quality of life. Physically, our
parks shape our environment and help to define our public realm by providing open space that preserves
vital ecological functions, protects biodiversity, buffers incompatible land uses, and reduces public costs
for stormwater management, flood control, and other forms of public infrastructure.

Grant Writing Abilities
CMA has a long history of working with municipalities to enhance projects with grant funds. Often, simply by
being aware of available funding sources, CMA has assisted various clients with obtaining multi-year grants.
Examples of three relationships are as follows:
FEMA Hazard Mitigation Fund Grants (HMGP): In working with the City of Coral Springs, CMA has
managed three separate HMGP grants for both hardening of public facilities and flood protection.
Community Development Block Grants (CDBG): CMA has worked on over seven projects with the
City of Dania Beach funded by CDBG. These include traffic calming, streetscaping, flood protection
and solar street lighting.
Marine Grants: For the City of Fort Lauderdale’s 15th Street Marina Project, CMA assisted the City
in obtaining Florida Inland Navigation (FIND) grants and a Broward Boating Improvement Program
BBIP) grant to double the scope of the project.
CMA also has experience with assisting our clients with obtaining grants and loans including:
ARRA Compliance • FIND & FRDAP Grants • FEMA HMGP
CDBG Compliance • FDEP 319H Grants • State Revolving Loans
LWCF Grants
CMA also understands that public spaces require intensive maintenance and management that can be costly
in addition to the initial investment upgrades. Therefore, we partnered with a subconsultant firm RMPK
Funding to assist in identifying revenue opportunities to support our clients. RMPK Funding provides
strategic funding and grant writing services geared towards municipal government. RMPK analyzes our
project plans and identifies public and private funds that can be pursued to support public spaces projects.
They utilize an approach called grant stacking which leverages available project funding to obtain additional
matching grants from public and private entities.

short-term and long-term remedies for the district, in concert with the overall master plan.
North Shore Bandshell Park Improvements. This project consisted of proposed improvements to the existing
Bandshell Park located east of Collins Avenue between 72nd and 73rd Streets within the City of Miami Beach. The
project included a new walkway connecting the park to the beachwalk at 72nd Street; the widening of the south
sidewalk at 73rd Street which will require either the removal or reconfiguration of on-street parking; the demolition
of the bus shelter; landscaping, outdoor accent and security lighting; reconfiguration and/or addition of walkways;
installation of an electronic marquee; installation of the “Beatles Mandala”, a mosaic tile artwork; and new urban
elements such as drinking fountains, trash containers and bike racks. CMA provided services including civil
engineering, landscape architecture and irrigation design work that includes conceptual drawings for the 72nd
Street walkway and 73rd Street sidewalk; design development/final design submittals; estimates of probable
construction cost; government permitting (including Miami Beach, PERA – formerly DERM, FDOT, FDEP, and Fish &
Wildlife); bidding assistance; and construction administration services.

Master Planning – Osborne Park and
Community Center
TAB D: Project Approach
D-1
D. Project Approach
1. CMA’S APPROACH TO DEVELOP A MASTER PLAN FOR OSBORNE
PARK AND THE COMMUNITY CENTER
Osborne Park and the Community Center should
engage and connect the community and reflect its
current values and needs. Our aspiration as designers
promotes context sensitive parks establishing a genuine
connection with their neighborhoods. We view parks
as public infrastructure that should generate greater
sustainability and resiliency benefits for the communities
beyond the boundaries of the park – economically,
socially, environmentally, and aesthetically. During
recent COVID years, our society has gained a greater
understanding of the need for quality urban parks
providing access to the outdoors and recreation
opportunities. Parks are critical to human physical and
mental health.
We have visited Osborne Park and Community Center
and observed that the park currently contains multiple
amenities such as sports fields, picnic areas, and a
performance stage. We understand that the community
wishes to study which uses should be continued
and which amenities should be updated meet the
community’s current and future needs. Holding an in
depth conversation and including the public in decisions
made in developing the master plan will be the key to a
successful project.
Our proposed process is as follows:
Task 1 – Information Gathering/Existing Conditions Analysis
During Task 1, the CMA team will focus on learning the conditions of the site, the current thoughts for park
redevelopment from the Village, and coordinating to begin discussions with the public.
1.1 CMA will hold a kick-off meeting with the design team, the Village’s Director of Parks and Recreation,
and additional Village staff as needed to establish priorities and develop an implementation framework
for the master plan. During the kick-off meeting, the team will establish a communication protocol for
the duration of the project. CMA recommends meeting at regular intervals to review progress and
answer questions. At a minimum, the CMA team and the Village should meet monthly.
1.2. CMA will review existing documentation as identified in the project RFQ for the project site to include
survey, property title, existing environmental reports, and research existing utilities, stormwater permits
and additional information as provided by the Village.
1.3. CMA will review North Palm Beach Land Development Code to understand the regulatory framework
in which we must develop the master plan.
1.4. CMA will perform a site visit to examine the condition of the site including existing facilities, infrastructure,
vegetation, natural features, structures, water features, etc.
1.5. CMA will observe the park in use and review available programs to analyze user patterns at the site.
1.6. CMA will prepare base plans for use in developing design solutions based on the information provided
by the Village in 1.2.
1.7. The CMA team will prepare exhibits explaining site opportunities and constraints based on findings
to review with Village Staff and present multiple approaches (workshops, intercept interviews, online
surveys, etc.) for performing public engagement and receiving feedback from the public.
D-2
TAB D: PROJECT APPROACH
Deliverables will include meeting minutes and a summary memorandum with exhibits depicting the analysis of
the existing conditions and the memorialization of the selected public engagement strategy.
Task 2 – Preliminary Master Plan
In Task 2, the CMA team will focus on meeting with
the public to understand the needs to be addressed
through the master plan process and develop a
preliminary master plan..
2.1 CMA will present information gathered in Task
1 to the public to begin an open discussion
on the needs to be addressed at Osborne
Park. The public meeting would preferably
take place in person at the project site. CMA
can also develop a website or hold follow-up
online meetings with the public to receive as
much information as possible, if requested.
2.2 CMA will research Case Studies/Examples of
similar projects as precedent for design.
2.3 CMA will prepare up to two (2) initial concepts
to review with the Village based on public input
and select one to refine into the Preliminary
Master Plan.
2.4 CMA will develop the Preliminary Master Plan
with supporting diagrams, photos, elevation,
and perspective renderings for presentation to
the public. The Preliminary Master Plan shall
include site circulation; conceptual amenities
and site elements; landscape, hardscape,
wayfinding strategies; preliminary utilities and
stormwater for pricing.
2.5 Consultant shall prepare an initial Opinion of Probable Cost to review with the Village.
Deliverables will include meeting minutes and a summary memorandum of public engagement findings; Draft
Master Plan; and an Opinion of Probable Cost.
Task 3 – Final Master Plan
In Task 3, the CMA team will present the Preliminary Master Plan to the public and develop the Final Master
Plan based on public input and Village comments.
3.1 CMA will present the Preliminary Master Plan to the public in a forum to be determined with Village staff.
3.2 CMA will develop the Final Master Plan with supporting diagrams, photos, elevation, and perspective
renderings. Consultant shall incorporate changes based on the second phase of public engagement
in Task 3.
3.3 CMA will prepare the Final Opinion of Probable Cost to review with the Village. The documents will be
reviewed by RMPK Funding to identify potential funding sources for the project.
3.4 CMA will prepare the Final Master Plan document including existing conditions analysis, public
engagement process, case studies, Final Master Plan, permitting process, opinion of probable cost,
funding strategy, and implementation strategy.
3.5 If needed, CMA will present the Final Master Plan to the Village Commission for Adoption.
Deliverables will include meeting minutes and a summary memorandum of public engagement findings; Draft
Master Plan; and an Opinion of Probable Cost.
D-3
TAB D: PROJECT APPROACH
2. WORK THAT WILL BE REQUIRED BY THE VILLAGE
To facilitate the work of this project, we will need the Village to provide the following:
Secure and provide all available surveys, as-built drawings, title information, and previously prepared
reports for the subject site.
Provide and secure all venues for public meetings, advertise and notice public meetings with adequate
time to meet statutory requirements, and provide refreshments for the public.
Provide timely, written reviews of the Consultant’s submitted plans and other work product to maintain
the project schedule. CMA and the Village can collaborate to develop a schedule that is mutually
acceptable.
3. WHY HIRE CMA
CMA has assembled a team of highly qualified design team that is committed to the successful master planning
of Osborne Park and Community Center. CMA understands the specific needs of parks and recreation facilities.
We have a proven master plan process that takes the long view of the facilities. Operations and maintenance
of parks facilities plays a significant factor in our design development process. Additionally, we partner with
our clients to find additional available funding through grants and collaboration between Village departments
to share resources enhancing and improving projects by solving stormwater management and urban forestry
issues in addition to recreational needs.
We are very excited about the possibility of working with the Village of North Palm Beach. We believe that
great public spaces build communities. We are passionate about the communities in which we live and raise
our families and hope to be working with the Village to create an executable vision for Osborne Park and the
Community Center.

including benches,bike racks,trash cans,BBQ grills and play areas.The
proposed landscape plant palette is comprised of mostly native coastal
species that can tolerate the harsh waterfront conditions and also provide
shade and wind protection and aesthetic interest.The irrigation system was
also a design challenge because the use of potable water had to be minimized
due to cost and environmental concerns.The final result was a combination of
city water and well water systems.With a landscape budget of approximately
1 million,this project was completed in the winter of 2004.

APPROACH TO PROJECT
Our approach to the Osbourne Park and Community Center master planning project will involve
close collaboration with the Village Council and stakeholders of the Village of North Palm Beach
to create a reimagined, reactivated, and revitalized project. Upon being awarded the contract,
our first priority will be to meet with the Village to develop a project timeline and deliverable
schedule that aligns with the Village's Capital Improvement Plan and expectations. We
understand that the project will be led by the Village Council.
Cotleur & Hearing will facilitate and attend Village-wide meetings utilizing a collaborative
design charrette format where the public, elected officials, and interested stakeholders are
invited to participate in designing the Master Plan. Based on our experience, this process will
yield several possible design solutions, which will be presented to the Village Council and
community for review and feedback. Additional meetings will be facilitated to assist in
evaluating alternatives and refining the conceptual design solutions. Cotleur & Hearing has
extensive graphic communication expertise to create 3-dimensional models and renderings to
effectively communicate the merits of the design. When the final design concept is accepted,
Cotleur & Hearing will present the Osborne Park and Community Center Master Plan to the
Village Council for a draft review and then for a final adoption.
Detailed minutes will be provided after each meeting with Parks and Recreation Staff and
Village Officials. Cotleur & Hearing will quantify results of each public charrette and surveys will
be conducted and analyzed for similarities of public opinions and needs.
Being flexible and having the ability to adapt to changing preferences from a political
standpoint, community needs perspective, or public opinion is very important for successful
completion of this project. Cotleur & Hearing has the Planning and Landscape Architecture staff
to facilitate the needs of a large charrette process and the ability to quantify the results and
revise the Master Plan design to meet the needs of the project and interested stakeholders and
decision-makers.
Cotleur & Hearing’s project management will ensure constant communication and coordination
with the Village Council and project stakeholders. We place strong emphasis on good record-
keeping, as it is important to understand the history and evolution of the project and how and
why certain decisions were made. Managing input from multiple groups, including outside
agencies where necessary, requires the skills and relationships that Cotleur & Hearing has
developed and perfected over the years in South Florida.

VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH
PARKS AND RECREATION
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council
THRU: Chuck Huff, Village Manager
FROM: Zakariya M. Sherman, Director of Leisure Services
DATE: August 10, 2023
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION – Accepting a proposal from Daniels Fence Corp. to Install New Fencing
Around the Community Center Athletic Field Due to Tornado Damage pursuant to pricing
established in an existing Martin County Contract and authorizing execution of Contract
Background:
The Community Center grounds were severely impacted on Saturday, April 29, 2023, when a powerful
EF-2 tornado, with winds reaching up to 130 mph, swept through the area. Several areas suffered
extensive damage, including the majority of the athletic field fence.
Daniels Fence Corp. has presented a proposal to install new fencing around the athletic field of the
Community Center. While a majority of the old fence was removed post-storm, most of the remaining
sections are in good condition and can be reused.
The proposed purchase and installation carries a total cost of $99,411.00.
Pricing:
The proposal from Daniels Fence Corp. is pursuant to pricing established in an existing contract with
Martin County (Contract No. RFB-2020-3212), expiring April 6, 2024. The Village’s purchasing policies
and procedures authorize concurrent competitive purchasing on other state and local government
contracts. An additional quote was obtained from a qualified vendor to verify “fair market value” as
required by the Village’s purchasing policies and procedures. While the secondary quote was 2.5% lower
in cost, Staff recommends utilizing Daniels Fence Corp. because the substantial time and resources
savings in not having to initiate a competitive solicitation outweighs the minor cost difference.
.
Funding:
Staff has already initiated the process of seeking reimbursement from the Village’s insurance company
to cover the costs associated with the athletic field fence replacement due to tornado damage. This
action aims to ensure that the financial burden of the restoration project is mitigated by utilizing the
insurance coverage in place. A budget amendment will be prepared at year-end if necessary.

a proposal from Daniels Fence Corp. to install new fencing around the Community Center athletic
field to replace tornado damaged fencing utilizing pricing established in an existing Martin County
Contract at a total cost not to exceed $99,411.00, with funds expended from Account Number

VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH
COUNTRY CLUB
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council
THRU: Chuck Huff, Village Manager
FROM: Beth Davis, General Manager
DATE: August 10, 2023
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION – Accepting a proposal from Musco Sports Lighting, LLC to purchase and
install new tennis court LED Lighting at the NPBCC Tennis Center at a cost not to exceed
$650,000 pursuant to pricing established in an existing Sourcewell Contract and
authorizing execution of Contract
Background:
The NPBCC Tennis Center features ten (10) lighted HarTru (clay) tennis courts. These ten courts are in five
bays of two courts each facing north south. Currently, the lighting schematic for these ten courts consists of
twenty (20) concrete poles on the perimeter and eleven (11) aluminum poles located down the middle of the
bays. Several of the light box fixtures were loose and required the installation of temporary brackets to secure
them for safety. All of the aluminum light poles are rusting and the concrete poles, erected in 1970, are
compromised due to internal corrosion. Staff has had several vendors out to inspect the lighting system and
all have recommended replacement due to the age and the failure of both the aluminum and cement
structures.
This emergency replacement will create a safer work and play environment, reduce the energy consumed
and result in lower utility costs and vastly improved quality of light.
Lighting Proposal:
Musco Sports Lighting, LLC has presented a proposal to remove the old pole lighting system and install
a new turnkey Light Structure System™ with Total Light Control – TLC for LED™ technology. The current
lighting system at the Tennis Center consists of old Metal Halide/HID lights, which require a ballast and
a lengthy warm-up period to achieve full brightness, unlike the “instant-on” capabilities of LED technology.
This innovative solution is highly regarded for retrofit installations across a range of venues, including
multi-purpose fields, basketball courts, tennis facilities, and stadiums. The thirty-one (31) poles will be
removed and replaced with twelve (12) galvanized steel poles with guaranteed light levels of 50
Footcandles, which will achieve the necessary lighting levels in accordance with the USTA (United States
Tennis Association) standards. Musco's lights also come with a 25-year warranty.
The widespread adoption of Musco lighting by other local cities, counties, and institutions further
strengthens Staff’s confidence in its products. Florida Atlantic University (FAU), the City of Palm Beach
Gardens, Palm Beach County, the Town of Jupiter, the City of Boca Raton, and the City of Delray Beach
are just a few examples of entities that have embraced Musco lighting solutions.
Pricing:
The proposal from Musco Sports Lighting, LLC is pursuant to pricing established in an existing contract
with Sourcewell (Contract No. 041123-MSL), expiring 06/16/2027. The Village’s purchasing policies and
procedures authorize concurrent competitive purchasing on other state and local government contracts.
A secondary quote was obtained from a qualified vendor to verify “fair market value” as required by the
Village’s purchasing policies and procedures. Despite the lower cost provided by the secondary quote,
Staff recommends selecting the higher quote based on reference checks.
To further inform our decision-making process, Staff looked into the experiences of other cities that have
utilized the other lighting company. Unfortunately, the feedback was less than favorable. One city
encountered electrical issues following the company’s work, and instead of taking responsibility, the
company attempted to shift the blame onto the city. This lack of accountability raises concerns about the
company’s professionalism and reliability.
Moreover, reports from other cities highlighted issues with glare and disruptive lighting from the other
company’s LED field lights. Players and surrounding communities were affected by the excessive glare,
indicating potential shortcomings in the company’s quality control. In addition, their lights were observed
to turn on and off independently throughout the day and night due to the absence of contactors. This
lack of control undermines the functionality and reliability of the lighting system.
Lastly, the other company offers a 10-year warranty on its equipment. While this might seem reasonable,
it raises questions about the long-term reliability and support that the company can provide compared to
Musco Lighting, which offers a 25-year warranty.
Considering all these factors, Staff believes that Musco Lighting is clearly the superior choice for the
Village’s lighting needs at the NPBCC Tennis Center. The company’s extensive experience, innovative
TLC technology, widespread adoption by other municipalities, compatibility with existing infrastructure,
and reputation for excellence make Musco the ideal partner for this project. With Musco Lighting, the
Village can provide our community with reliable, efficient, and high-quality lighting that enhances safety
and enjoyment for years to come.
Funding:
Staff is seeking to utilize funds approved in the 2nd reading of Ordinance 2023-11 Country Club Budget
Amendment, to purchase and install a new tennis lighting system in accordance with Village policies and
procedures.

I. IF THE CONTRACTOR HAS QUESTIONS REGARDING THE
APPLICATION OF CHAPTER 119, FLORIDA STATUTES, TO THE
CONTRACTOR’S DUTY TO PROVIDE PUBLIC RECORDS RELATING
TO THIS CONTRACT, CONTACT THE CUSTODIAN OF PUBLIC
RECORDS AT: (561) 841-3355; NPBCLERK@VILLAGE-NPB.ORG; OR
501 U.S. HIGHWAY ONE, NORTH PALM BEACH, FL 33408.
In performing services pursuant to this Contract, CONTRACTOR shall comply with all
relevant provisions of Chapter 119, Florida Statutes. As required by Section 119.0701,
Florida Statutes, CONTRACTOR shall:
(1) Keep and maintain public records required by the VILLAGE to perform the service.
(2) Upon request from the VILLAGE’s custodian of public records, provide the
