PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE Mayor Gerwig led the Pledge of Allegiance. After the Pledge, Mayor Gerwig noted the 2020 Census logo was on the agendas and asked if that was going to be placed on all documents. In response, Mr. Schofield said that every document they have will have the logo and will put it on every place that they can. He said that one of the most important things they can do in this decade is to ensure their census count is correct. He pointed out that most of their revenue comes from revenue sharing that is based on a formula based on population . Mr. Schofield said that because of that, it is imperative that they count every single resident in the Village of Wellington so they get their fair share of funds. He added that every revenue sharing formula over the next decade will be based on this count. Mayor Gerwig said that the Bebr counts that came in have estimated Wellington and Jupiter to have the same number of residents. 20-3558 EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH FOR NOVEMBER, 2019 - JUAN SANCHEZ, SENIOR PERMIT & LICENSING TECHNICIAN Mr. Schofield announced that Juan Sanchez was the Village's November Employee of the Month. Mr. Jacek Tomasik, Building Official, introduced Juan Sanchez who has been with the Village since January of 2013 working in the Permitting section of the Building Department. He noted that last year, Juan was promoted to Senior Permit and Licensing Technician. Mr. Tomasik said that Juan is an employee who delivers every day. He said that in the last six months, Juan answered 7,900 phone calls, processed about 10,000 emails per month, which he thought was incredible. He said that Juan is a dedicated employee who is constantly on the telephone helping people. He also noted that Juan was named Palm Beach County's Permit Technician of 2019 by the Building Officials Association of Palm Beach County. Mr. Tomasik said he is a great employee and for all of that, he was nominated for Employee of the Month. Village of Wellington Page 1 Village Council Workshop Action Summary January 27, 2020 Mr. Sanchez expressed his thanks for the Employee of the Month recognition. He said that he works with a great team under a great boss. Council expressed their thanks to Juan for his being a dedicated employee. 3. REVIEW OF COUNCIL AGENDA Mr. Schofield introduced the agenda for the January 28, 2020 Regular Wellington Council Meeting for Council's review. Vice Mayor Napoleone said that the Cub Scouts would be attending the Council meeting to speak on the Pine Wood Derby. The Cub Scout Presentation would be added to the Agenda under Presentations and Proclamations. A. 20-3556 MINUTES OF THE REGULAR WELLINGTON COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 10, 2019 Mr. Schofield introduced the agenda item. This was Council approval of the Minutes of the Regular Wellington Council Meeting of December 10, 2019. He said that Mrs. Addie and her staff would be happy to make any changes. B. 19-3269 AUTHORIZATION TO CONTINUE UTILIZING A PALM BEACH COUNTY CONTRACT WITH SULLIVAN ELECTRIC & PUMP, INC., FOR REPAIRS TO VARIOUS PUMPS AND MOTORS Mr. Schofield introduced the agenda item. This was authorization to continue utilizing a Palm Beach County contract with Sullivan Electric & Pump, Inc., as a basis for pricing, for pump and motor repair and/or replacement at sanitary lift stations, the water plant, the water reclamation facility, raw water supply wells and remote booster stations in an amount not to exceed $75,000. He noted that there was no increase from last year and it is the second of the available renewable options. Ms. LaRocque noted a correction pointing out that there was an increase from last year, which was $45,200. Mr. Schofield said that the rate was actually the same. Ms. LaRocque explained that this work was for repairs noting that they have about 500 pumps that they have to repair, as they are getting older, so they are seeing more repairs. Councilman McGovern asked if this was a sole source item. Ms. LaRocque said that it is a piggyback contract. Mr. Schofield noted that it was low bid. Village of Wellington Page 2 Village Council Workshop Action Summary January 27, 2020 Councilman McGovern asked how many pumps were repaired last year and how many pumps did they anticipate would be repaired this year. In response, Ms. LaRocque said that there are 500 pumps and she was not sure how many they did last year. She said that it is something they cannot predict. C. 19-3272 AUTHORIZATION TO AWARD A CONTRACT TO WESTERN COMMUNITIES TRANSPORTATION, INC. TO PROVIDE SENIOR TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM SERVICES Mr. Schofield introduced the agenda item. This was the authorization to award a contract to Western Communities Transportation, Inc. to provide senior transportation program services, for approximately $ 80,000 annually. He noted that there were four bids received on this item. He noted that the two low bids were at $19.00 a trip and Western Communities Transportation was $20.00. Mr. Schofield said that they were going to recommend Western Communities because of the type and quality of the vehicles they are using. Mr. De La Vega explained that Western Communities Transportation is the Village's existing vendor and has been their vendor for over 10 years. He said that this was the first time that the Village actually got bids from other companies. He reiterated that four the Village received four bids; two were at $19.00 per one-way trip while Western Communities was at $20.00. Mr. De La Vega said that they decided to have Jay Miller, the Village’s Fleet Manager, go out and inspect the vehicles to check their condition, i.e., type of cars, years, mileage, etc. He indicated that Mr. Miller went through a detailed checklist of all the vehicles. He pointed out they found that the first two bidders were using passenger vans that were in average condition, some needed cleaning, hoses replaced, etc . However, Mr. Miller found that Western Communities had new vehicles - 2017 and 2019 Impalas with 21,000 miles and 60,000 miles. They also had a 2018 Chevy Suburban with 47,000 miles. Mr. De La Vega said that all cars were black and were fully loaded, had leather interior and were clean. He said he believed that is what their seniors have grown accustomed to. He said that after discussing this with Mr. Schofield and Mr. Barnes, they were recommending staying with Western Communities Transportation and paying $1.00 more. Councilman McGovern asked Western Communities if they would match the $19.00. Mr. De La Vega said that got a little complicated. He explained that their local preference policy would allow a match if it was within 5%, but they were lower than 5% in this case. Mr. De La Vega pointed out that one of the two other companies is a western communities’ local vendor. He said that in speaking with Ms. Cohen, it would not be prudent for the Village to allow them to match a western Village of Wellington Page 3 Village Council Workshop Action Summary January 27, 2020 communities local vendor because they are both western community companies. Ms. Cohen explained that the Village's Purchasing Manual, they do not have to accept the lowest bid as they also can consider the quality of the rider they are providing to their seniors. She said the seniors have become accustomed to this level of service, and she believed it would be a step back for them to go with the other companies. Councilman McGovern said he was asking why the Village could not go back to Western Communities Transportation and ask them to match the $19.00 if they were going to award them the $20.00 contract any way. Ms. Cohen said that there were two companies tied for the low bid, so they could match the $19.00 and then you would have three $19.00 bids. Mr. De La Vega explained that the Village's Purchasing Manual allows a western communities company to match a Palm Beach County vendor or non-local vendor if they were within 5%, but it doesn't allow a match between two western community vendors. Councilman McGovern said what if they were going to award Pro Transportation, a bidder at $19.00, then wouldn't Western Communities have a right to match that $19.00. Ms. Cohen and Mr. De La Vega said that both of the vendors fell below the standard of service. Mayor Gerwig asked how much of this cost would be offset by CDGB funds. Mr. De La Vega said that it would be $36,000 of the $80,000. Mayor Gerwig felt that they needed to be very careful when it comes to purchasing because they don't want people to be prevented from bidding, but they also don't want to take the lowest bidder as they are looking for the best value for their residents. Councilman McGovern felt that this is a flaw in this process because he believed that the Western Communities Transportation would have matched the $19.00 if they were asked to do so. Mayor Gerwig asked if they ask their seniors about how they like the service or if the Village just hears from them. Mr. De La Vega said that he checked with Ms. Edwards and Ms. Brito. He said that their current level of service is phenomenal, and they get very few complaints from their existing firm. He said that played a role in their decision making as well. Mayor Gerwig said that other local communities have been trying to introduce Uber and Lyft into this mix, and asked if that was a possibility . Village of Wellington Page 4 Village Council Workshop Action Summary January 27, 2020 Mr. Schofield said that last year they talked to Uber and Lyft. He explained that they found that although their actual costs are lower, they would to be prepaid and they did not staff on weekends. Mr. De La Vega explained that the Village would have to serve as the dispatcher. Mr. Schofield added that when they included those costs, using them was higher. Mayor Gerwig did not believe the consistency would not be the same, and the Village would have to hire someone if they had to dispatch the cars on weekends. Mr. Schofield reiterated that they had looked at those services last year because Ms. Edwards and Mr. De La Vega thought they had found a bargain until they added in their costs to provide service on nights and weekends and it turned out to be significantly more expensive. Mayor Gerwig said that she was just looking to see if there were other ways to provide the service. She wanted to ensure their seniors are happy with it and they are providing the most economical service. Councilman McGovern said this was a two-year contract with three one-year renewals. Mr. De La Vega said that was correct. Councilman McGovern asked if they would have a chance to revisit the contact when the renewals came up. Mr. Schofield said that generally there is a provision for a cost of living escalator for them. He said if that goes up, they would bring that to Council upon the renewals. Mr. De La Vega said that the company also has the ability to increase costs based on the price of fuel, so it depends on what is happening at the time. D. 19-3281 AUTHORIZATION TO CONTINUE UTILIZING A CITY OF BAYTOWN, TEXAS CONTRACT, AS A BASIS FOR PRICING, FOR UTILITY BILL PRINTING AND MAILING SERVICES Mr. Schofield introduced the agenda item. This was authorization to continue utilizing a City of Baytown, Texas contract with Dataprose, LLC, as a basis for pricing, to provide utility bill printing and mailing services to the Village for approximately $155,000.00 annually. He said that this is a piggyback contract and is the best available rate. Mr. Schofield pointed out that Boca Raton is utilizing the same contract; however, the Village is paying $.088 per mailing while Boca Raton is using $.106. Mayor Gerwig said that if those services were prepared in-house, it would be a very large cost. Vice Mayor Napoleone asked if less bills were be mailing each year because people don't want them. Ms. LaRocque said that with electronic payment, the distribution gets better and better Village of Wellington Page 5 Village Council Workshop Action Summary January 27, 2020 E. 20-3561 AUTHORIZATION TO AWARD A CONTRACT FOR THE BOLLARD REPLACEMENT PROJECT AT THE PATRIOT MEMORIAL AND WELLINGTON AMPHITHEATER Mr. Schofield introduced the agenda item. This was authorization to award a contract to Cerrito Electric, Inc. for the Bollard Replacement project, at the Patriot Memorial and Wellington Amphitheater, for $163,020.00. He explained that this was sealed bid, low bid. He said that the caveat here was that the recommended award was to Cerrito Electric a western communities business. Mr. Schofield said that their bid was not initially the low bid, but they were within 5%, which allowed them to match, and they came in slightly under. He said that offering them the opportunity to match or beat complied with the Village’s Purchasing Manual. Mr. Tom Lundeen, Village Engineer, said that they would be replacing 39 bollards with the same type that they have at Dorchester and Essex neighborhood parks. He showed a slide of the Patriot Memorial showing pictures of the current bollards as well as what they would be replacing them with. Mayor Gerwig said that they have used Cerrito Electric in the past and have had no negative experience. Mr. Lundeen said that they have used them many times noting that they are a very good contractor. Councilman McGovern asked if these bollards would be replacing the ones that are currently there. Mr. Lundeen responded affirmatively. Vice Mayor Napoleone asked if they were replacing them for esthetic reasons. Mr. Lundeen said that they were the original ones that they are looking a little rough. Councilman McGovern asked about the anticipated life of these bollards . Mr. Lundeen said that the anticipated life of these bollards was about 20-25 years. He said that the finish is much more durable on the new bollards and they are LED lights. Mr. Schofield said that pretty much everything now is LED lighting. He noted that the lights that are going on the boardwalk are LED lights as well. F. 20-3534 RESOLUTION R2020-02 (IRON SPRING FARM PLAT) A RESOLUTION OF WELLINGTON, FLORIDA’S COUNCIL ACCEPTING AND APPROVING THE IRON SPRING FARM PLAT LYING IN SECTION 28, TOWNSHIP 44 SOUTH, RANGE 41 EAST, VILLAGE OF WELLINGTON, PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA. Village of Wellington Page 6 Village Council Workshop Action Summary January 27, 2020 Mr. Schofield introduced the agenda item. This was approval of Resolution R2020-02 accepting and approving the Iron Spring Farm Plat. Mr. Lundeen explained that this was just under 70 acres of land. He further explained that they are taking out the old property lines to make it one big parcel. He said that they redid all of the ingress, egress, and easements, i.e., stormwater and utility easements and redid the plat. Mayor Gerwig said that they were not changing anything so they did not have to plat it. In response, Mr. Schofield said that it could have been done with a Unity of Title and dedications could be done by easements, but this is a much cleaner way to do this from the Village's perspective and from theirs. G. 19-3381 ORDINANCE NO. 2020-03 (AMENDMENT TO CHAPTER 2, ARTICLE VI, SECTION 2-328(B) ENTITLED CREATION; QUALIFICATIONS FOR SERVING ON WELLINGTON’S CONSTRUCTION BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT AND APPEALS) AN ORDINANCE OF THE VILLAGE OF WELLINGTON, FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER 2, ARTICLE VI, SECTION 2-328(B) OF WELLINGTON’S CODE OF ORDINANCES ENTITLED “CREATION; QUALIFICATIONS” TO CLARIFY THE QUALIFICATIONS REQUIRED TO SERVE AS A MEMBER OF THE CONSTRUCTION BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT AND APPEALS; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICT; PROVIDING FOR CODIFICATION; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Mr. Schofield introduced the agenda item. This was the approval of Ordinance No. 2020-03 amending Chapter 2, Article VI, Section 2-328(B) entitled Creation; Qualifications for serving on Wellington’s Construction Board of Adjustment and Appeals. Ms. Cohen explained that she was recommending several language changes. She said that traditionally this is a very difficult committee to fill noting that there was a challenge to the composition of the board. Ms. Cohen said that, while she believed they were compliant, she thought it was a good idea to clarify that the board should be primarily comprised of individuals having knowledge of technical codes. She thought that if they included that language, if they were having difficulty filling the positions, they could still do so because someone might not necessarily be an architect, engineer or someone of that nature. She said that she wanted to add the language "including, but not limited to" even though the words that are used in the current version do indicate that it is not limited to those disciplines. She felt that clarifying the language makes it clearer. Village of Wellington Page 7 Village Council Workshop Action Summary January 27, 2020 Vice Mayor Napoleone asked what “primarily” meant and if it meant it had to be four out of seven members. Ms. Cohen said that primarily is intended to mean that if the board can be comprised of those individuals with those disciplines, it should be. She thought it meant a majority. Mayor Gerwig said that there might be people who have technical knowledge who do not fit the list. Ms. Cohen said that the idea is that they have to have technical and experience in the technical code. She said that the list of disciplines illustrates the type of people who might have knowledge of the technical code, but it is not an exclusive list. She said that they might have someone who has knowledge of the technical code who does not fit one of these categories or they may not presently have knowledge of the technical code but is willing to obtain that knowledge. She said in that case, they should not be excluded from serving on the board if they were willing to do that. Councilman McGovern said that he understood that they were giving the list to describe the individuals as opposed to giving the list to describe the experience in the codes. He thought they had this rephrased to include, but not limited to architecture, engineering, general contracting, electrical contracting, HVAC contracting as opposed to the job. He thought they could add building construction law and the types of things that they were confronted with. Mayor Gerwig questioned whether it could just say in the field of construction instead of going through the list, which seems to be finite regardless of what they come up with. Councilman McGovern thought they were adding in architecture and engineering apart from construction . Mayor Gerwig did not agree and questioned whether construction in general would fit that. Ms. Cohen thought they could just say building and contracting. Mayor Gerwig thought that the more specific they get, the more problematic it becomes. She said if the person applied and Council decided the person should be appointed, they look at what they have provided and they are aware of the statement. Vice Mayor Napoleone asked what the statute required. Ms. Cohen said that she did not know off the top of her head, but could supply it at the meeting. She said she did not know if there was any statutory provision that requires that as this is just what is in the Village's code. Ms. Cohen said that the statute requires the committee, but she did not believe it laid out exactly who is eligible. Mayor Gerwig said that they do not want to make it more problematic to fill this board because it is necessary to function. She said that in the past they have sought experience. Village of Wellington Page 8 Village Council Workshop Action Summary January 27, 2020 Councilman McGovern said if there was a challenge, they have never been in violation of their policy. Ms. Cohen did not believe so. Councilman McGovern thought this is also an effort to try and come up with codes and things that are simple and easy to read. He did not believe there was a need to change this because their committee was out of compliance. Ms. Cohen said that was not the case. Councilman McGovern said that was alleged by an individual, which was not the case . Ms. Cohen said that she already addressed that and was still of the same opinion that they were in compliance, but it would be easier to read if it were broadened and clarified. Mayor Gerwig said that ultimately the Council is responsible for who is on the committee. Councilman McGovern and added that they are in compliance with the statute. H. 20-3560 ORDINANCE NO. 2020-02 (SMALL CELL WIRELESS) AN ORDINANCE OF WELLINGTON, FLORIDA’S COUNCIL AMENDING CHAPTER 23, “COMMUNICATIONS FACILITIES IN THE PUBLIC RIGHTS-OF-WAY” TO MODIFY CERTAIN STANDARDS AND REGULATIONS RELATING TO COMMUNICATIONS FACILITIES AND OTHER STRUCTURES WITHIN THE VILLAGE’S PUBLIC RIGHTS-OF-WAY CONSISTENT WITH FEDERAL AND STATE LAW; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Mr. Schofield introduced the agenda item. This was the consideration on Second Reading of Ordinance No. 2020-02 amending Chapter 23 of the Village Code entitled “Communications Facilities Rights-of-Way Ordinance.” Ms. Cohen said that she had no further comments from any of the industry's representatives. Vice Mayor Napoleone asked if there was any indication that any of them would attend the Council meeting. Ms. Cohen said she had no such indications noting that there really was nothing that was objectionable . She said that it was only to clean it up to track the statute. Mayor Gerwig said that the legislative was not currently looking at any major changes to that statute. I. 20-3548 RESOLUTION R2020-03 (EDWARD BYRNE MEMORIAL JUSTICE ASSISTANCE GRANT (JAG) PROGRAM FY 2018 LOCAL SOLICITATION FUND ACCEPTANCE AND RELATED BUDGET AMENDMENT #2020-005) Village of Wellington Page 9 Village Council Workshop Action Summary January 27, 2020 A RESOLUTION OF WELLINGTON, FLORIDA’S COUNCIL ACCEPTING AND APPROVING THE EDWARD BYRNE JUSTICE ASSISTANCE GRANT (JAG) FUNDS AND RELATED BUDGET AMENDMENT #2020-005; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Mr. Schofield introduced the agenda item. This was the approval of Resolution R2020-03 and Budget Amendment #2020-005 accepting the 2018 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) and allowing for public comment as per grant requirements. He indicated that they are required to provide for public comments in order to get the grant funding. Mr. Schofield said that they have identified a project and they may or may not have any public comments at the meeting. Mayor Gerwig asked what these funds are used for. Mr. Schofield said that they have been used for a variety of things, i.e., traffic cameras, and this year they were going to use it for park cameras. Vice Mayor Napoleone asked if staff thought that cameras at the parks were the best use of this grant money. Mr. Schofield responded affirmatively. He explained that they have been having problems at the Dog Park. He said that people tend to leave things on the seats of their cars so they have had a number of break-ins. He also noted that they get many complaints about aggressive dogs, so they believed cameras would help to monitor that. He said that this seems to be the best utilization of the funds. Mr. Schofield said that Council would get recommendations from staff later in the year about where to put in cameras that will do much broader monitoring. He said that they will starting asking that cameras be included in development and redevelopment proposals. Mayor Gerwig said that they have been hearing for years about break -ins at Village Park and places like that, but said this covers more than just break-ins at the Dog Park. Mr. Schofield said that the comment that Council may hear tomorrow night is that the Village does not own the property, but they do. He said the question will be who has access to the videos. He explained that, like anything else, they are public record. Mr. Schofield said that the Village and PBSO would principally monitor the videos. Mayor Gerwig said for a while they were getting emails every week about incidents at the Dog Park, but noted that it has been calmer recently . She asked if they had staffed anything different there. Mr. Schofield said that they have the Park Ranger at the Dog Park from 4:30 p.m. on every day and they have a PBSO presence there as well. He said that having Village of Wellington Page 10 Village Council Workshop Action Summary January 27, 2020 the cameras should eliminate some of that cost. Mayor Gerwig said that she also wanted to see them at Village Park as they look forward to the next grant. She believed that the break -ins happen at these parks because of their remote locations. She noted that break-ins used to occur at the Boys & Girls Club. Mr. Schofield said that they have laid out a plan that Council will see that will get the greatest impact for the money they are spending. He said that he would have Eric go through the expanded program with each of Council. 4. WORKSHOP Mr. Schofield noted that the Acme Landowners Meeting would follow the conclusion of the Council Meeting. He said that they have to select the Chair and Vice Chair who are typically the Mayor and Vice Mayor. 5. ATTORNEY'S COMMENTS None. 6. MANAGER COMMENTS Mr. Schofield reported on the following: Western Communities Council Meeting & SR 7 Extension Mr. Schofield said that a Western Communities Council meeting was scheduled to start at 5:30 p.m. this evening. He noted that the principal discussion item would be SR 7 and their position with the Transportation Planning Agency. Vice Mayor Napoleone asked how they would handle that with Sunshine issues. Mr. Schofield said that one of the things they will ask is if you are on the TPA, then he would recommend that you do not attend that meeting and would send the alternate. He said that one TPA member there will not hurt, but two will be a problem. He said that he would announce there are Sunshine Issues regarding TPA members. He noted that they notified every government that is an issue. Councilman McGovern asked if the meeting was noticed. Mr. Schofield said that there was a question about noticing a meeting of a private 501c3 and if that was a requirement of every agency that would attend . Ms. Cohen said that based on the Attorney General's Opinion that it would be construed as a Sunshine Body even if it is noticed. Mayor Gerwig said that it did not matter whether or not it was noticed, that if you Village of Wellington Page 11 Village Council Workshop Action Summary January 27, 2020 are meeting outside of the board that you are on, you cannot be doing business on that particular issue and this would do that. Ms. Cohen said that the issue is if you are a member of the TPA you can't talk about something that is likely to come before the TBA outside of a publically noticed TPA meeting. She said if you are a TPA member and a member of the WCC, then you can't discuss that issue and then go back to the TPA and vote on it Mayor Gerwig thought it would be important as a body for them to have something prepared for the Council meeting from this body that being a letter of strong support for the SR7 extension apart from whatever the WCC decides to do. She said that this is a multi-faceted issue that was not just economic. She said if there is an emergency and Seminole Pratt is blocked as well as other roadways, it could lead to loss of life. She said that this was not something they should take lightly. Mayor Gerwig said that it was removed in an offhand manner, as it was not on the agenda. Vice Mayor Napoleone explained that they were approving the long-range plan, people said they should vote to take that part out which you are allowed to amend the plan before you vote on it, which they did so it has to come out. He said that they could also amend the plan to put it back in so he believed at the next meeting someone will make a motion to put the SR7 extension back in plan. Ms. Cohen said that there are competing attorney opinions with respect to whether it can be handled through a motion for reconsideration or it has to go back through the modification process. Mayor Gerwig said that he voted to keep it in so he cannot bring it back, but any member who voted to take it out could bring it back. Mayor Gerwig said that this is a road that was mapped out and has been on the long-term plan. Mr. Schofield added that it has been on the plan since 1945. Mayor Gerwig thought it was long overdue. She asked if someone wanted to work on the language. Mr. Schofield said that they would draft something for tomorrow night. Mayor Gerwig wanted them to do anything they could to present it in a very strong way so that people know that it is important to them, and to their community. Mr. Schofield said that Councilman McGovern is the Village's representative on the WCC and Vice Mayor Napoleone is the representative on TPA and Councilman McGovern is the TPA alternate. Mayor Gerwig said that she wanted to attend the meeting, but would be out of town. She said if the letter is not from the entire Council, she was willing to send one from herself. Village of Wellington Page 12 Village Council Workshop Action Summary January 27, 2020 Starwood’s Value Adjustment Board Hearing Mr. Schofield said that the Starwood's Value Adjustment Board Hearing is on January 30th, and that he and Ms. Quickel plan on attending. Ms. Quickel added that the meeting is scheduled to start at 1:00 p.m. Councilman McGovern asked if they could get clarification on the agenda items. Ms. Quickel said that she asked for that, but had not yet received any additional information. She said they were checking to see if they were one of the first items. Mayor Gerwig said that the Village would not have any role in that meeting except to listen, but that it is good to hear what is said. She asked that staff set up a meeting for her with Starwood because she was out of town the last time they were here. She wanted to ask where in the process they were. Councilman McGovern said that he made the request at his last meeting with them that they have those meetings every time they are here and Council is here so they have an on-going dialogue. Councilman Drahos advised Council to be sure they are clear with staff as to what they are planning to address because they will send someone with knowledge in one particular area who cannot speak on other issues . He said that is what happened to him in his meeting. 7. COUNCIL COMMENTS None. 8. ADJOURN There being no further business to be discussed by Council, the meeting was adjourned at 4:50 p.m. Village of Wellington Page 13
