He stated this application would amend the mixed use portions of both the comprehensive plan and the zoning text. Mr. Basehart reviewed the changes and responded to Council's questions regarding retail space vs. office space, density, single parcel vs. single project, and the advantages of mixed use.

He stated they were in accord with and in support of what staff was doing, as they went through some iterations together and arrived at what is now in front of Council.

Mr. Barnes introduced the item. Ms. Callovi read the Ordinance by title. Ms. Cohen stated this Ordinance revises some of the provisions relating to code enforcement. She reviewed the revisions with Council regarding motions for rehearing or reconsideration, the financial ability of the violator to pay their fine, and Notice of Violation. Mayor Gerwig preferred they take out the 80% rule and put it back on the magistrate like it was before. She said a lot of difficult situations happen to families and their financial needs end up being discussed. Therefore, she rather staff and the magistrate handle this, because of the serious nature of some conversations. She thought empowering the magistrates to do their job was appropriate for Council to do. Vice Mayor McGovern thought for the purposes of discussing the criteria for Village of Wellington Page 5 Village Council Action Summary - Final October 13, 2016 reduction, keeping in the financial ability to pay maybe something they want to do. If someone comes in asking for a reduction, they could take advantage of whichever criteria they want to or not. Councilman Napoleone stated the purpose of the fine is to bring people into compliance not punitive. So when they get into compliance, they can come in and choose to say they are asking for a reduction for whatever reason, including their financial situation. Mayor Gerwig asked if they would leave in what was struck on lines 22 and 23 of page 201. Ms. Cohen suggested they just reject the changes on those two lines. Ms. Cohen stated she would bring a revised ordinance to the second reading. A motion was made by Vice Mayor McGovern, seconded by Councilman Napoleone, and unanimously passed (5-0) to approve Ordinance No. 2016-19 (Amendment to Chapter 2, Article IV, Section 2-198 "Hearings"; Section 2-199 "Fines; Imposition of Liens"; and Section 2-201 "Service Of Notice; Methods") as written, except for lines 22 and 23 on page 201. These lines should not be changed and the original language should be used. D. 16-0493 ORDINANCE NO. 2016-22 (BOARDS AND COMMITTEES) AN ORDINANCE OF THE VILLAGE OF WELLINGTON, FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER 2, ARTICLE VI, 2-292 ENTITLED “REMOVAL OF BOARD AND COMMITTEE MEMBERS”; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICT; PROVIDING FOR CODIFICATION; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Mr. Barnes introduced the item. Ms. Callovi read the Ordinance by title. Ms. Cohen indicated this Ordinance would add an additional basis for considering what constitutes an excused absence for a board or committee member. She said the only change being proposed is to add subsection V that states “absence resulting from events reasonably beyond the control of the board or committee member,” which could constitute an excusable absence. Council supported the additional language of subsection V, but agreed it should be funneled through one person for standardization. A motion was made by Councilman Napoleone, seconded by Councilman Drahos, and unanimously passed (5-0) to approve Ordinance No. 2016-22 (Boards and Committees) as presented on first reading. Ms. Cohen asked if Council had any direction on bringing back the 80/20 policy for consideration. Mayor Gerwig suggested they discuss it at their next Agenda Review. She asked Ms. Cohen to provide the background, how it came about, how it has worked, how many times it has been used. Councilman Napoleone asked for a copy of the policy. 8.
