COUNCIL REPORTS Councilwoman Gerwig presented the following report: • Councilwoman Gerwig acknowledged the Girl Scout Troop that she had the pleasure of meeting with prior to the meeting. • She said that it was nice to have the Wellington Art Society reception to highlight the art that has been placed on the second floor of Village Hall. Vice Mayor Greene presented the following report: • Vice Mayor Greene asked about the status of the Public Address System at Village Park. Mr. Schofield said that staff has priced the system, and Council will see a budgetary item for it noting that it is expensive. He said that they will have some portable systems, but there will not be a park-wide system at Village Park for the July 4th event. Councilman Coates presented the following report: • Councilman Coates thanked his wife for her attendance at the meeting. Councilman Willhite presented the following report: • Councilman Willhite reported that he would be attending a meeting next week of the C-51 canal group. • He inquired about the presentation that Councilman Coates had previously requested be given to Council by the Director of MPO on traffic issues. Mr. Schofield said that the request was made, and he would follow up on that the next day. Councilman Coates requested that the residents of Olympia and Buena Vida be personally notified when the presentation is scheduled because they expressed concern about the flyover to him when he campaigned. Mr. Schofield said that he believed the flyover had been removed from the plan. He said that a significant part of that reason was that the flyover could go no further than the western right-of-way line of SR7 because Wellington owns Forest Hill from that point and it required Council approval in order to be built. Councilman Willhite pointed out that the flyover at Forest Hill Blvd. and Southern Blvd was still being discussed. • Councilman Willhite thanked the Wellington Art Society for the work that they continue to do. He extended his apology for not attending the reception, and expressed his appreciation for the art that is displayed around the Village. • He spoke about his experience in accompanying one of 64 veterans to Bedford, Virginia to the National D-Day Memorial and to Washington, D.C. for the 70th anniversary of the D-Day Invasion. He said that it was a phenomenal trip to accompany these veterans and hear about their experiences. •Councilman Willhite raised the issue of the Minto West project which he said has become hotly debated. He said that he didn’t know Council’s thoughts on that project, but he felt that it would impact the Village. Councilman Willhite said that the Western Communities Council had taken a position on SR7, and he was waiting to see if they took a position on this issue. He noted that several other communities in the western communities have already taken a Village of Wellington Page 5 Village Council Action Summary - Final June 10, 2014 position on it, and he hoped it would be scheduled for a Council agenda or that a presentation is given so they can see what is proposed. Councilman Willhite said that he would like to have any information distributed at the Western Communities Council meeting shared with Council. Councilman Coates said he assumed that the issue would be raised at the Western Communities Council meeting. He indicated that he would not express an opinion on behalf of the Village at the meeting, but he would gather all of the information that is presented and bring it back to them for discussion. Mr. Schofield added that he had the Planning Department look at the proposal and the impact it will have on Wellington. He noted that there are both positive and negative impacts to the Village, and Council would be receiving a transmittal with that information the next day. •Councilman Willhite addressed the issue of postponing items because groups or people can’t attend. He said that Council meets every second and fourth Tuesday of the month, and their agendas are published so the community knows what will be discussed.. He said that although some individuals or groups want to attend the meetings to voice their opinion, the Village has to carry on with business, and can't postpone items. Mayor Margolis presented the following report: • Mayor Margolis referred to an Administrative Transmittal that Council had received several days ago regarding a PBSO request for a license plate reader. Mr. Schofield explained that a suggestion was made by PBSO in light of the recent occurrence, that the Village consider installing a camera system that does license recognition. He said that they have begun pricing them, and more information will be distributed to Council. Mayor Margolis asked if that system is utilized by other municipalities. Mr. Schofield said that they are used by Palm Beach and he believed Tequesta, but they will find out that information. • Mayor Margolis commended the Village Attorney’s office for developing a training exercise for the Boards and Committees. He attended both sessions and learned a lot from them. He also praised Tim Stillings for the Planning & Zoning 101 presentation that he presented at the last Planning Board meeting. He believed that the presentation was being fine tuned, and he requested a copy of it when it is completed. Ms. Cohen thanked Mayor Margolis for his comments indicating that the feedback from some of the board members was positive. She said that her presentation was also being refined noting that they will be preparing a booklet so that it is available for new members as they come on board. 13. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business to come before Council, the meeting was adjourned. NOTICE Village of Wellington Page 6
