Village Manager Dennis Redmond summarized the report of the meeting by stating that if North Palm
Beach will give up plans to annex Pelican Car Wash, Palm Beach Gardens will give up a building on
Monet Road at Prosperity Farms Road. Additionally, an additional residential/commercial development
on Ellison Wilson Road will be divided between Palm Beach Gardens and the Village. It will be
divided to coincide with the Village's north boundary, which is the Winn-Dixie Plaza. Further, the
Village will give up all claims to Pirates Cove and Palm Beach Gardens will give up claim to Portage
Landing, Lost Tree Village, and Hidden Key. With consensus of the Village Council to do so, a letter
confirming this summary will be sent to Palm Beach Gardens.
Mayor Norris announced that the "Drowning Coalition of Palm Beach County" has awarded a certificate
to the Village of North Palm Beach showing that the Village has had no drownings in 2003 within the
Village's corporate limits.
On behalf of the Village Council, Mayor Norris announced that this meeting would be President Pro
Tem Tringali's last meeting as a member of Council, and thanked him for his many years of service to
the Village.
STATEMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC
Rose White, Vice President of the Womens' Golf Association, addressed the Village Council regarding
the recent decision of the Country Club Advisory Board to charge a $17 greens fee per guest for their
planned Guest Day on March 17t~'. Due to a misunderstanding, it had been assumed that the special
event was submitted and approved at the February 2°d meeting. The WGA members request
reconsideration of the Board's decision because the event is already planned and the entry fee had been
set. Additionally, the WGA also requested reconsideration on the decision made for team play. The
Village Council agreed to override the $17 greens fee for the planned Guest Day on March 17t'', but
recommended they ask the Country Club Advisory Board for reconsideration of the decision regarding
team play. The Council suggested that it would be helpful to change rules at the beginning of the year
rather than during the height of the season. It was suggested that more accurate information on team
play be provided, but left the decision on this matter with the Country Club Advisory Board to resolve.
CONSENT AGENDA
Item 7.h. was removed from the Consent Agenda and placed under 13.f. on the Regular Agenda.
Thereafter, President Pro Tem Tringali moved to approve the Consent Agenda, as amended. Vice

VILLAGE MANAGER' S REPORT
Village Manager Dennis Redmond told the Council that the compromise between First
Presbyterian Church and the Recreation Advisory Board which he reported at the last Council
meeting has not come to fruition. There is not agreement at this time between the Recreation
Advisory Board and the Planning Commission, because the drawings reviewed by the Planning
Commission did not include changes made by the Recreation Advisory Board to the Church's
original plan. The First Presbyterian Church and the Recreation Advisory Board will continue to
meet in an attempt to resolve the issue.
Mr. Redmond informed the Council that the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council has
received a grant from the EPA for several million dollars for 14 brown field sites in Palm Beach
County. Mr. Redmond said he has discussed our site at Anchorage Park with the TCRPC, and he
feels that the Village has a good chance of receiving that grant. The grant in its first phase would
cover looking at the site to determine if there are any environmental problems. Phase 2 of the
grant, if eligible, the funds would provide for recreation green space. By consensus, the Council
agreed that the Village should move forward with the application for the grant.
