ORDINANCE
Mr. Schofield introduced the agenda item.
Judge Rand Hoch explained his request for the Council to adopt the Civil Right
Ordinance as it pertains to LGBT, and the difficulties the Village would
encounter in opting out of it.

Judge Hoch was to protect the Village from potential liability.

outlined by Judge Hoch. Councilwoman Gerwig did not support that action as
she felt it was not in the Village's purview to review that.
A motion was made by Vice Mayor Greene, seconded by Councilman
McGovern, and passed (4-1) with Councilwoman Gerwig dissenting, directing
the Village Attorney to draft language in support of the LGBT ordinance and

Golf, Lake Worth. She advised Council they could get involved by either
donating an auction item, sponsoring a hole, becoming a corporate sponsor,
or purchasing a ticket and spreading the word about the event.

asked staff to contact Lake Worth's City Commission and possibly extend a

changed to Thursday, September 10th and Thursday, September 24th due to

prior to the September 10th meeting is Labor Day, so Council needed to decide
if they wanted to reschedule the Agenda Review or forego it.

if the Village could do some type of 9/11 recognition on that date or was
anything planned for September 11th. In response, Mr. Schofield stated that
the Village does a 9/11 Remembrance ceremony that is done about the same
time the planes hit the World Trade Center. He indicated he would find out the
details.

he had a Pension Trust meeting on that date. Mayor Margolis said that he had
to look at that.
Vice Mayor Greene announced that he would be out of town on September
10th.

serve the residents. She said that when offensive statements are made against

Conference in Orlando.

business how cooperative the Village is. He said that his job is to only ensure

people who work and live in the Village are treated fairly, with dignity and
respect and understand the rules. Vice Mayor Greene said that the Village has
gone above and beyond to do things for people who try to do things that are
important to the community, and indicated he would continue to do that.
Councilman Willhite presented the following report;
1. Councilman Willhite said that it has become common practice to cast
dispersion on others without recognizing that they are at fault as well. He said
that people need to look at themselves before pointing out how and what
others are doing with regard to staff. He referred to comments about staff
members leaving the Village. He said he has spoken to many of them who have
moved on for personal reasons or better positions.
2. He asked when it was anticipated that the street name would be changed to
Ken Adams Way.
Mr. Schofield said that he issued that instruction, and he would get with the
engineer. He said that the biggest issue was changing the business addresses
which are being worked on. He said he would advise Council shortly if there
was a reason why they could not physically have that done before
Thanksgiving.
3. Councilman Willhite pointed out that there is alot of growth in the canals.
4. He asked Mr. Schofield if he had in fact resolved all of the issues at the

Council will only receive a schedule when anyone else but him is on-call.
Councilman McGovern presented the following report:
1. He announced that he had appointed Deidre Newton to serve on the
Architectural Review Board.
2. At the Education Committee's last meeting, all of the principals of
Wellington's schools made presentation relative to the Keely Spinelli Grant
Program.
He encouraged the residents to look at that as it is an important program and a
good thing the Village does in trying to improve and assist the math and
reading scores for students who fall in the bottom 25 percentile. He
commended the principals for their work in using that money as well as the
Council for allocating the funds.
3. He wished students good luck as school starts on Monday as well as a
successful academic year. He asked everyone to be careful as children are
going to school because there will be more people walking and cars on the
roadways.
Mayor Margolis presented the following report:
1. He reported that he attended the Dog Wash on Sunday at the Dog Park. He
said a suggestion was made to him that the Village hold a big event at the Dog
Park to celebrate dogs. He thought it was a good idea since there has never
been such a celebration during the 10 or so years that the Dog Park has been
in existence. With Council consensus, he said he wanted to have the Village
Manager work with Mr. DeLaney on organizing such an event.

on coordinating that event.
