COMMENTS AND INQUIRIES ON AGENDA AND NON-AGENDA ITEMS FROM THE PUBLIC- IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING PRESENTATIONS: 5.A. City Manager's response to inquiries and highlights Mr. Moore stated that before giving an update on the Barwick Road construction, as promised during the Commission Meeting on December 8, 2025, he asked Hassan Hadjimiry, Utilities Director, to explain the main raw water break that occurred over the past weekend. Mr. Moore stated that the break was due to contractor error and that expenditures had already occurred, with claims set to be submitted. Mr. Hadjimiry stated that at approximately 4:00 a.m., the past Saturday, while drilling for the new Water Treatment Plant, a deep well raw water main was impacted. He stated that the flooding was contained by 11:00 p.m. that evening. Residents were not affected because water was provided through an interconnect system with the City of Boca Raton and the Palm Beach County Water Utilities Department. Mr. Hadjimiry emphasized that the water quality was never affected. He noted that he collaborated closely with Gina Carter, Public Information Officer, to ensure that residents were well informed about what had occurred.

UPDATE AND CLARITY REGARDING BARWICK ROAD CONSTRUCTION City of Delray Beach Page 3 Printed on 2/4/2026 City Commission Minutes - Final January 6, 2026 Sponsors: City Manager Department Attachments: Agenda Cover Report Missie Barletto, Public Works Director, provided an overview of the Barwick Road project, which extends from State Road 806 (Atlantic Avenue) to Lake Ida Road, in response to numerous complaints from residents. Ms. Barletto noted that while the area is undergoing changes, the turn radius has remained the same and was designed in accordance with the City’s Complete Streets Policy adopted in 2016. She emphasized that this federally funded project aims to enhance bicycle and pedestrian safety. Additionally, Ms. Barletto discussed several other planned improvements for the area and addressed the residents' concerns, explaining that many issues stem from the project being in the mid-construction stage. She assured them that the designs were developed to ensure consistency with established best practices and roadway standards. The project is anticipated to be completed by the summer of 2026. Ms. Barletto provided a website to view the project: Barwickproject.com. The Commission thanked Ms. Barletto for her comprehensive report. Mr. Moore mentioned that there was one additional update regarding the renovations of the Delray Beach Municipal Golf Course that Ms. Barletto wanted to share with the Commission. Ms. Barletto informed the Commission that, upon clearing the land on the golf course, they encountered a Banyan Tree with a base covering half an acre and likely the largest in the South County area. She stated that this issue is causing problems because it crosses the canal. The City is working with the Lake Worth Drainage District to obtain permits for the golf course and they are asking the City to remove the Banyan Tree. Ms. Barletto mentioned that if she were to go before the Board of the Lake Worth Drainage District to seek a variance for the permit, it might delay the renovations of the golf course. However, she noted that the course designer and contractors are committed to preserving the tree and are willing to do whatever it takes to make up for the time lost due to the efforts to save the tree. Ms. Barletto also discussed the potential consequences if the tree is allowed to remain. Sam Mettott, Parks and Recreation Director, joined Ms. Barletto and stated that the renovations have made tremendous progress thus far. The Commission discussed whether to preserve the tree or remove it. There was consensus to keep the tree. The Commission thanked Ms. Barletto and Mr. Metott for their presentation.

City Manager Mr. Moore stated that Jeff Oris, Assistant City Manager, was present to discuss an update on a bill that is under consideration by the Palm Beach County legislative delegation regarding the provision of fire rescue and emergency medical services in areas that are annexed into a municipality.

He discussed the time frame for determining the costs to municipalities and other specifics of the bill.

Mr. Moore acknowledged that other municipalities were opposed to the consideration presented by the Palm Beach County League of Cities. He stated that the City would communicate its opposition to this bill to Mat Forrest, their State Lobbyist. B.
