1 Approximately $272,599.73 in funds remains, which covers the rehabilitation work of an estimated
2 11 additional homes.
3 Deputy Fire Chief of Operations, James Ippolito reported on the A venir Preserve brush fire that
4 occurred on May 24, 2021 , which burned roughly 600 acres due to dry and windy conditions. The
5 fire was caused by a heavy machinery vehicle clearing the area. The collaborative effort among
6 Palm Beach Gardens Fire Rescue, Palm Beach County Fire Rescue, Florida Division of Forestry,
7 and Palm Beach County Sheriffs Office extinguished the fire in 53 hours. The City's Police
8 Department also offered assistance and the City's Fleet Operations Department had the fuel trailer
9 and technicians on site. No homes were threatened. The City's fire brush trucks were instrumental
10 and worked flawlessly. Discussion ensued.
11 Community Services Administrator, David Reyes presented an update on the City's
12 preparations for the 2021 Hurricane Season. The City's communication protocols are in place.
13 Emergency response vendors have been notified. Contact information and operating procedures
14 have been updated. Six emergency task force teams are ready and located throughout the City.
15 Each team has been designed to operate independently should communication be interrupted.
16 Following a storm, the City's rapid response team of building inspectors will assess any damage.
17 Additional support teams include debris clean-up, stormwater and infrastructure, facility and fleet
18 teams . Drone technology is now assisting in visuals. He encouraged residents to create their own
19 emergency plan and visit the City's website for the 2021 Hurricane Guide and sign up for
20 notifications.
21 Deputy City Manager, Stephen Stepp reported on the request from resident Lisa Wade who
22 asked for the City's assistance in improving football field conditions at Dwyer High School. At
23 the direction of the City Manager, a meeting was held on May 11 th at Dwyer with Lisa Wade,
24 Principal Corey Brooks, the head football coach, and City staff. Dwyer representatives asked the
25 City to consider a partnership to construct an artificial turf multi-purpose field, estimated to cost
26 $1.5 million. Dwyer is slated to receive $22 million from Palm Beach County's one-cent sales tax.
27 However, no funding was included to repair the football field and the reallocation of sales tax
28 monies is beyond their control. The City suggested parents contact Palm Beach County District 1
29 School Board Member, Barbara McQuinn , for assistance and reach out to the School District's
30 Independent Sales Surtax Oversight Committee to express concerns with unsafe field conditions.
31 The cost to resod the field is approximately $150,000 and would require a higher degree of contract
32 maintenance. Soon thereafter, Palm Beach Gardens High School also contacted the City regarding
33 a partnership for their field. A future meeting is planned with Palm Beach County School Board
34 District representatives at Dwyer next week. Discussion ensued.
35 City Manager, Ron Ferris remarked on the opening of the newly relocated Employee Health and
36 Wellness Center as it moved from Fire Station 3 to Fire Station 1. Celebrating its tenth year, the
37 official ribbon-cutting ceremony was held on April 22, 2021. The employee utilization of
38 appointments is up to 90-94% at the new location. Primary urgent care services save an average
39 of $555,000 in annual costs of office visits, labs and medications compared to the private sector
40 and saving $772,000 annually in health claim cost avoidance in treating high risk health conditions.
41 Recognition was given to Human Resources Administrator, Sheryl Stewart and her staff for its
42 management.
43 An update was given on the progress of the traffic signal on Northlake, Bayhill and Sandhill Crane
44 Drive. The County had sent a recommendation to include four conditions in the City's interlocal
45 agreement. The County recognized the City's right to warrant the signal and would be giving the
46 City the permit. The interlocal agreement was sent on May 18th with the requested changes. No
4 7 response has been received from the County , and communication with the County Administrator
48 stated they are looking into it.
