9. PUBLIC FORUM
There were no comment cards received for Public Forum.
10. ATTORNEY'S REPORT
MS. COHEN: Ms. Cohen presented the following report:
She mentioned the Village received an opinion today from the Circuit
Court Appellate Division on the Polo West master plan amendment. She
stated the court affirmed without opinion, so the Village prevailed in that
action.
Councilman McGovern asked if that was only as to Polo West. Ms.
Cohen stated the Village previously received the opinion, a PCA (per
curiam affirmed) in the Palm Beach Polo matter, which she previously
disseminated to Council. She said this was the next step. She stated
she thought the court meant to issue it at the same time and for whatever
reason it was served today. She said the ruling was the same and
Wellington prevailed in both instances.
Vice Mayor Drahos asked if this put that litigation to an end at this point .
Ms. Cohen stated that was true unless Polo filed a petition for cert with
the Fourth District Court of Appeal. She said she thinks that is a difficult
position for Polo to take given that no opinion was issued by the
Appellate Division.
Councilman McGovern stated there was no opinion issued as to the
Palm Beach Polo matter. Ms. Cohen said that was correct for both
PCA’s.
Councilman McGovern stated in this week’s weekly, Council got a
schedule of matters going forward to final hearing, the prior compliance
date, etc. He said it seemed numerous items are still going forward in
that process. Ms. Cohen stated that was correct for new violations. She
said, for example, there is a violation regarding the “soccer fields” where
the grass is overgrown and that is going to the magistrate this Thursday.
Councilman McGovern stated some matters seem to be older than that
one, i.e., the caretaker and clubhouse matter at Polo West, clubhouse
parking lot landscaping at Polo West. Ms. Cohen believed there was
some discussion as to whether compliance has occurred and Mr .
Basehart or Mr. Koch would have to address that. She stated it was not
Village of Wellington Page 8
Village Council Action Summary - Final December 11, 2018
on the agenda for this hearing.
Vice Mayor Drahos stated he thought he saw some communication that
Polo West was open for business. He said some of the fairways may
have been cut. Ms. Cohen stated she did not know if Code had chance
to verify that, but she did not believe it was scheduled for the agenda this
week.
Vice Mayor Drahos thought they had a date certain by which they had to
cut the grass. Ms. Cohen stated this was a different violation.
Councilman McGovern stated the North Course maintenance date
seemed to have been by November 29, 2018. Mr. Schofield said he
thought this was scheduled for the January hearing. He said he will get
Council an updated list.
Ms. Cohen stated it is being put on the next available agenda that gives
sufficient time to notice the hearing. She said Code was not intentionally
skipping a month.
Vice Mayor Drahos stated the North Course was supposed to cut the
grass by November 29, 2018, and did not. Mr. Schofield said that
means they have a compliance date. He stated if the North Course does
not cut the grass by that time, the Village will advertise it and schedule it
for the next available Magistrate Hearing. He said he will get Council the
dates between the notice and when the Village gets it advertised.
Councilman McGovern stated he continues to get asked about the
Stribling berm, which he believed was going to final hearing on January
17, 2019. Ms. Cohen said that was incorrect. She stated a second
Motion to Dismiss was filed. She indicated the only basis for that Motion
to Dismiss was that Polo alleged that the Village was required but failed
to attach copies of the notices of violations in the code enforcement
proceeding. She stated the Village was not seeking any relief that
relates to the code enforcement proceeding, as it was seeking injunctive
relief in the Circuit Court. She said the Village’s position was that those
notices are not required to be attached. She believed it has been set for
hearing in January 2019. She said once that is disposed of, the Village
will get it to hearing as quickly as possible.
Councilman McGovern asked about the return to operation at Polo West .
Mr. Schofield stated it was the Village’s position that Polo West is not
being operated as a golf course. He said unless and until it is, the
restaurant cannot operate. He stated staff saw the same notice, reached
out to the operator and informed him of the Village’s position.
Village of Wellington Page 9
Village Council Action Summary - Final December 11, 2018
Ms. Cohen stated, with respect to the 130 violations case in which the
Fourth District Court of Appeals issued a show cause order, the Village
filed that brief/response last week. She said the Village is waiting for the
court’s decision.
11. MANAGER'S REPORT
MR. SCHOFIELD: Mr. Schofield presented the following report:
He stated the next Regular Council Meeting will be held on Tuesday,
January 8, 2019, at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers.
Village offices will be closed Monday, December 24th, and Tuesday,
December 25th, in observance of the Christmas holiday.

Drive until Tuesday, December 18th. See the Village website for more
information.
Mr. Schofield stated he was asked for a brief update on the license plate
readers. He said four of the seven locations have been installed and the
others should be completed shortly. He stated the data is being sent to
the PBSO crime center and Village of Wellington employees do not have
access to this information. He said if anyone has any questions
operationally, they need to be directed to Gun Club Road.
Councilman McGovern stated the license plate readers are being placed
in the medians and roadways. Mayor Gerwig thought they were a bit
noticeable.

service to making this a hallmark event in Wellington. He said it was a lot
of fun and the weather held out.
He hoped people will come out this weekend to see the Lakeside event
combined with the Green Market. He said Council has wanted this to
happen for a long time. He stated it will be exciting to see those two
events occur at the same time and the people utilizing the entire space .
He said the boat parade on Saturday has become a fun event as well.
He indicated he will be out of town in Washington, D.C., this weekend.
He said he will miss the events, but he hoped everyone will attend and
enjoy them.
He also hoped that everyone will attend the Town Center and Lakeside
forum on Monday night at the Wellington Community Center, so the
Village can get input from the community. He said this will give people a
chance to share any creative ideas they may have.
He wished those who celebrated Hanukah a Happy Hanukah. He said it
was nice to be with Council at the Tree Lighting and Menorah Lighting .
He also wished everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. He
reminded everyone to be safe as they start to celebrate and attend
holiday parties.

get all of the important information about what was being discussed
tonight.
VICE MAYOR DRAHOS: Vice Mayor Drahos presented the following
Village of Wellington Page 11
Village Council Action Summary - Final December 11, 2018
report:
He congratulated Dennis Witkowski on 35 years as a planner and
organizer for the holiday parade, as it was quite a contribution to the
community. He said he was glad to see Mr. Witkowski honored there.
He stated so many people look forward to the parade ever year, as it
generates such a sense of community pride. He said it was a great
experience for him and his family, and he was glad to have been a part of
it.
He stated he was also looking forward to a good turn out on Monday,
December 17th, for the Town Center Public Input Meeting. He said he
cancelled some plans to make sure he could be there. He stated he was
looking forward to getting input from the residents and having a positive
dialogue.
He wished everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
MAYOR GERWIG: Mayor Gerwig presented the following report:
She stated Winterfest was a very nice event. She said thousands of toys
were brought and given to the Little Smiles charity. She stated it was
good the event was moved to the Palm Beach International Equestrian
Center (PBIEC), because they needed the extra room.
She stated the parade was fabulous. She said she thought about the first
time they were in the parade and the first time they went and watched it .
She stated the parade is very unique. She said even though it is a
Central Palm Beach County Chamber event, that partners with the
Village, it is still their Wellington parade. She thanked everyone for all of
their hard work.
She stated evaluation forms for the Village Manager and Village Attorney
were circulated to Council. She asked if the Council members had filled
out the forms and turned them in. Councilman McGovern indicated he
was still working on them but almost done.
Mayor Gerwig stated the theory is to coincide with the fiscal year, which
was October 1, 2018. She asked that they get done, so they can have
the information. She said there may be areas where they can do better
or work on together. Councilwoman Siskind stated she filled them out
and then left them on her desk, but she did not know if someone picked
them up.
Village of Wellington Page 12
Village Council Action Summary - Final December 11, 2018
Mayor Gerwig stated Council fills them out and turns them in, and then the
information is circulated back to Council. Councilman McGovern stated
he did not recall getting them back in previous years. Mayor Gerwig said
that was part of the process. She stated if there are communication
issues or if they are greatly satisfied, that is what the forms are for.
She indicated she had a couple of letters on her desk. She asked if the
Equestrian Preserve Committee was aware that Mr. Granada was
concerned about the current bridle trail work not being good for horses
that are not shoed. Mr. Schofield stated he will put it in front of the
committee. He explained Mr. Granada is usually concerned about the
millings, but they are only used in and around the pillars or in areas where
they are mixed deeply with sand and clay. He said he will get Council a
follow-up memo on this.
Mayor Gerwig stated she also received a request for more visible PBSO
patrols in Montauk Harbor around Sunset Point. Mr. Schofield said he
will look at the letter and get with Captain Silva. He stated the patrol cars
are monitored, so they can tell where they have been, when they were
there, and if they need extra patrols. He said the Captain is always
accommodating.
Mayor Gerwig stated when residents reach out to the Council members,
it is their duty to pass on the information.
She stated she drove over to Meadow Wood to deliver an Amazon
package that was inaccurately delivered to her. She said while she was
there, a Waste Management truck picked up the garbage from two
homes. She explained she watched them walk up to the side of the
house to get the garbage, take it down to the truck and bring back the
cans. She stated certain people cannot get their garbage to the curb and
Waste Management will do that for them. She said she was amazed
watching the guy happily do his job. She gave him kudos and said did a
great job.
She wished everyone Happy Holidays. She said whatever anyone
celebrates, she hopes it is a meaningful time for their family to be
together.
