and unanimously passed (4-0) to open the Public Hearing.
Vice Mayor Greene indicated public comment cards were received for the
Public Hearing.
1. Meryl Jenkins, 3800 Fieldview Way, Wellington. Mr. Jenkins spoke against
the petition. He explained that the problem was on the west side of the
mentioned property,and a dirt path was located on Lake Worth Road that ran
through to an opening on Pod D or Southfields Road. He said that he objected
to the manner in which the management company was maintaining the open
gate; the industrial type of traffic and young people tend to drive very fast on it.
He wanted some type of control in order to alleviate the activities, noise,dust
and outside traffic which was a great nuisance. He asked the item be put on
hold until he reaching an agreement with the owner.
Vice Mayor Greene explained one of the conditions for approval of the item
was controlled access.
2. Schuylar Riley, 3655 Middleburg Drive, 13250 Southfields Road, Wellington.
Ms. Riley spoke in support of this request. She stated she has been a property
owner in that area for ten years and she loves the fact that the polo fields are
there. She thought the access would enhance the community and make it
safer. Regarding the buffer, about eight acres of her property border the polo
fields along the north border. She indicated all of their riding arenas are
located there and it would not be beneficial to put a landscape buffer there,
because what the horses cannot see but can hear would create havoc. She
said she loved the way it is now, but it would be better to make it official and
obviously just for polo.
There being no further public comments, a motion was made by Vice Mayor
Greene, seconded by Councilman Willhite, and unanimously passed (4-0) to
close Public Hearing.
Village of Wellington Page 6

12. COUNCIL REPORTS
Councilwoman Gerwig presented the following report:
• Councilwoman Gerwig stated the Let’s Move campaign is coming up. She
was hoping Wellington would have a better showing this time, because it is a
pretty active community. She said it was on a Saturday at Ultima and the
information was on Wellington’s social media. She thought it would be a great
day for the community to come together and get active. She explained their
time could be logged individually or as a part of a community, but all times are
added together. She believe the Village could to beat Pahokee, the winner last
year, if everyone worked together.
• She stated this Saturday, February 13th, from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM, is
county-wide CPR day at the county fire stations. She indicated it was hands
on CPR training, but no mouth-to-mouth. She said it is a way to save a life.
She did not believe there was a fee for the training. She noted each class was
for 30 minutes, so they did not need to be there all morning.
• She indicated the Great Charity Challenge was very wet and slushy, but they
still awarded $1.7 million to 35 local charities and some really deserving travel
teams. She said hats off to them for riding in the rain in costume. She stated it
was a really nice evening despite the weather.
Vice Mayor Greene presented the following report:
• Vice Mayor Greene announced that Rick Westwood would be joining the
Architectural Review Board.
• He recognized the Great Charity Challenge for doing great work over the
years, as over $8 million has gone to local charities. He said there were a
number of great events over the weekend, including a big event at the
Equestrian Village and the Wellington Master’s held at Deer Ridge. He stated
that was a first class operation. He thought it was good when everyone in the
community comes together to promote a sport. He believed that said a lot
about Wellington. He hoped they could see more of that in the future.
•He knew there was some discussion about moving forward with a preference
policy for contractors who provide an apprenticeship program. He stated he
had an opportunity to meet with some folks over the weekend and there are
many reasons why they should look at implementing such a policy. He did not
know where staff was in terms of a preference policy coming forward, but he
would like to move it forward as quickly as possible. Mr. Schofield indicated
Mr. De La Vega was looking at what other communities were doing and which
trades have the ability to do an apprenticeship program. He stated he would
try to have something back to Council no later than the first meeting in March.
• Regarding the senior housing discussion, Vice Mayor Greene recalled they
had some issues and questions about tax credits and fair housing. Ms. Cohen
stated she had done quite a bit of research and reached out to the other
communities. She said she was working on a memo to explain how that might
work and whether there could be any kind of preference.
• He indicated he had “Coffee with the Village Manager” this morning. He said
it was great to have so many people interested in what is going on in the
Village. Mr. Schofield noted they were going to do it every month. Vice Mayor
Greene thought it would continue to expand. He stated he had an opportunity
to talk to a lot of folks, businesses and residents. He mentioned he spoke to
Village of Wellington Page 8
Village Council Action Summary - Final February 9, 2016
Johnny Meier, the president of the Wellington Chamber of Commerce, who is
focusing on the business community and doing a great job. He was sure the
Council and the Chamber would continue to forge a more positive working
relationship.
Councilman Willhite presented the following report:
• Councilman Willhite apologized for missing coffee with Mr. Schofield, as he
had to work today. He said it seemed like morning events are well attended,
like the breakfast at the amphitheater.
At this point, Mr. Barnes advised everyone that the Let’s Move Campaign is
March 5th, 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM, at Ultima Fitness. He said the first one
hundred individuals who register receive a swag bag and an all-day access
pass to Ultima. Mr. Schofield stated they sent out a press release three days
ago. He said he would ask Ms. Nunez why she was sending those out on
Sunday.
• Councilman Willhite stated he continues to ask Mr. Schofield, the engineer
and staff to look at the school zones in the Village. He said they have very
poor signage and some major thoroughfares go through their school zones.
He explained at the Binks Forest Elementary school zone, the cars stop at the
light and then forget it is a school zone when the light turns green. He said
Stribling Way in front of the elementary and middle schools is an issue as well.
He thought more had to be done to bring attention to the school zones for the
safety of their children. Mr. Schofield committed to having their traffic
engineer evaluate every school zone.
• He thought the Village had not started some projects, because they were in
the height of the equestrian season. He said he would like to see the start
dates for the capital improvement projects approved by Council. Mr. Schofield
indicated he would find that information in the Capital Projects section of the
Weekly’s; however, he indicated they could put that information on the
website.
• He mentioned the recent Green Market was a great event, because the Art
Exhibit was mixed in with the Green Market. He said it was a bigger event and
seemed to be well attended.
• He stated they were a month away from the 20th Anniversary Celebration
scheduled for March 19th. He said he would like to see more momentum and
advertising about the fireworks and location.
• He mentioned they have a Wellington resident [referring to Emily Brooke]
who is on American Idol and doing very well. He said she was not only a local
idol but a national idol as well.
• He reiterated the County was partnering with Fire Rescue for National CPR
Day. He stated it was not new technology, but they do not have to perform
mouth-to-mouth anymore. He said they just do chest compressions.
•He stated all of the equestrian venues are happening and they could clearly
see an uptick in traffic. He mentioned he sat at the light on Pierson the other
day for about 24 minutes. He said some would say it is for a limited time, but it
still impacts the everyday resident. He did not know how the Village could
help. He believed the equestrian area was becoming more congested because
more events are taking place. He thought that was something to be cognizant
of.
• He attended Legislative Action Days with the League of Cities last week in
Tallahassee. He said he and Mr. Schofield went to a few offices. He thought it
was good that Mr. Schofield was representing the Village and looking out for
Village of Wellington Page 9
Village Council Action Summary - Final February 9, 2016
their best interest.
• He stated he was disheartened to read an e-mail from Councilwoman Gerwig
that included a response from Ms. Cohen. He said it disturbed him that an
accusation of a potential Sunshine Law violation had to be made and answered
in the public record. He believed the two attorneys in the room would not
allow such a conversation. He thought it could have been easily handled by
just asking, so it was a little concerning to him. Councilwoman Gerwig stated
her first response was to call, which she documented in her e-mail, because
they have different views on what is proper and improper. Council engaged
in a lengthy discussion regarding the email sent by Councilwoman Gerwig.
• Councilman Willhite invited everyone out on February 29th to a big topping
off ceremony at the Community Center. He thought it would be great to see
the construction and progress happening in the heart of the Village.
• He wished his beautiful spouse a Happy Valentine’s Day.
Councilman McGovern presented the following report:
• Councilman McGovern congratulated the Wellington High School Boys
Basketball Team on their third straight district title. He hoped everyone would
be there when they host Boca Raton in the Class 8A Regional Quarter Final at
home this Thursday night.
• He extended his condolences go to the Wellington High School sports family
and the high school as a whole on the passing of Coach Matt Mounts.
• He hoped everyone would come out for the Tribute Music Festival this
Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 6:30 PM at the amphitheater with the Steely
Dan Tribute Band on Thursday, Billy Joel Tribute Band on Friday, and
Fleetwood Mac Tribute on Saturday.
• He thought Mardi Gras at the Dog Park on Saturday, 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM,
was going to be a fun event.
• He congratulated everyone in the equestrian community. He stated it was a
very busy weekend with the Great Charity Challenge, the Wellington Masters
polo and many other great events. He said the weather was a bit of a damper
on the Great Charity Challenge, but the success of the event and making a real
difference in the lives of the people who are served by those charities was
definitely achieved.
Mayor Margolis presented the following report:
• Mayor Margolis stated Council was receiving a lot of e-mails regarding the
RFP for tennis. Mr. Schofield indicated the RFP for tennis services has gone
out, so the Council is in a cone of silence because they are part of the appeal
process. He stated Council was precluded from discussing this, including
answering e-mails. He said Mr. De La Vega, Mr. Barnes and Ms. Quickel would
be responding to them. He indicated the bids are due on February 18th. He
believed sixteen people were at the pre-bid conference, but there was no
discussion on their part. Mayor Margolis noted the Parks & Recreation
Advisory Board would be sitting as the Selection Committee.
• Mayor Margolis asked about the process for a building to be red tagged. Mr.
Schofield explained buildings are examined by a building or engineering
inspector for compliance with the Village’s Land Development Regulations or
the applicable state codes and standards. He stated if the building is found to
be in violation or to not have a permit, it will get red tagged. Mayor Margolis
asked if a building that has been red tagged could be occupied and used. Mr.
Schofield stated there is a difference, as one tag will say correction notice and
the other will say stop work. He said if it says stop work, the building cannot
be occupied.
