MEMORANDUM
t
TO: Mayor /Council DATE: March 1, 2001
FROM: Ronald M. Ferris, City Manager
SUBJECT: Plant Drive Roller Hockey Rink
This is our first attempt of formalizing a policy of the use of City recreational facilities.
At the last Council meeting of February 15'`, a citizen raised the question of why the
roller rinks at Plant Drive Park are closed to the general public.
Please review the attached information and give me your views on this policy.

Q �
TO: Ron Ferris, City Manager DATE: February 27, 2001
FROM: Sue Miller, Director of Parks and Recreation
SUBJECT: Use of City Recreational Facilities
Determining the appropriate use of City athletic facilities between user groups has been
an on -going tug of war for the Parks and Recreation Department during the past several
years. Recently, this problem has reached a point where a policy on how to best serve the
residents, while protecting the City's investment in these facilities, should be adopted.
Currently the Gardens Park baseball fields, the Lake Catherine Softball fields, the Plant
Drive Roller Hockey Rinks and the Plant Drive baseball fields are locked until needed by
the primary in -season user groups, the Palm Beach Gardens Youth Athletic Association
( PBGYAA) and the Palm Beach Gardens High School Baseball team. Although this
practice has been, for the most part, accepted by the majority of the users (and
appreciated by the PBGYAA), there are individuals and groups of users, some affiliated
and some not affiliated with these major users, who have blatantly cut the locks on
facilities in order to gain access for their personal use.
In order to alleviate this situation and allow for additional controlled access to these
areas, while at the same time protecting the City's investment in these facilities, staff
submits the following for consideration.
PRIORITIZE USERS:
Certain parameters would be created to ensure that the use of the facilities would enable
all potential groups and public an appropriate amount of use. This would be done
through the department working hand in hand with the primary Recreational Providers
(City, PBGYAA and the School district) to schedule time for their activities. Following
this, time would be set aside, based on availability, for use of facilities by the general
public. Additional time would then be set aside for use, through a series of permits and
fees, for the Non - affiliated user groups.
Staff proposes the following priority list of users:
1. City sponsored activities
2. PBGYAA sponsored activities
3. Palm Beach County schools who have an inter -local agreement
with the City of Palm Beach Gardens
4. General Public
5. Non - affiliated organized groups
CATEGORY OF USERS:
City Use — City sponsored activities would be the first prioritized user group (This listing
of priority usage is addressed in the agreement between the City and the PBGYAA).
Presently the department schedules activities in the following sports: Youth Tackle
Football and Cheerleading; Youth Flag Football; Youth Soccer; Boys Basketball;
Adult Softball; Adult Flag Football; Adult Basketball and, Adult Volleyball.
Additionally, the Department has an agreement with the Palm Beach Soccer Academy to
provide the youth travel soccer program.
PBGYAA Use — The PBGYAA would have second priority of use. Presently they offer
the following youth sports: Fall and Spring Baseball; Softball — Spring and Travel;
Girl's Basketball and two seasons of Roller Hockey (Fall and Spring). This recreational
provider will be issued a permit by the department outlining their facility reservations and
guidelines.
Palm Beach County School Use — The third priority in user groups would be the County
school's who have a current inter -local agreement with the City. Those schools include:
Palm Beach Gardens High School; Dwyer High School; Duncan Middle School;
Watkins Middle School; Timber Trace Elementary; Palm Beach Gardens Elementary;
and, Allemanda Elementary. Currently, Palm Beach Gardens High School is the primary
user in this category with the baseball team using the baseball field at Plant Drive park
over 125 days per year, while the soccer teams use the city soccer fields 55 days per year
and the swim team utilizes the municipal pool 58 days per year. This recreational
provider will be issued a permit by the department outlining their facility reservations and
guidelines.
General Public Use — Facilities open to the general public will be available on a non-
exclusive use policy. These time periods will be available when the facilities are not
occupied by the recreational providers. All persons wishing to use a facility during this
open time will be welcome to do so. These Public use times will be posted at the
facilities as well as announced on the department's sports hotline. During these times,
the facilities will be open until dusk.
Non - Affiliated Organized Groups — This category would include organized teams, such as
the American Legion baseball team, who are not affiliated with the City or the PBGYAA.
This classification of users would have to request a permit for use from the Parks and
Recreation department and pay the appropriate fee in order to use the facility.
During the sports season of a recognized recreational provider, permits will not be issued
to Non - Affiliated Organized Groups. As an example, an outside baseball group would
not be allowed to use the baseball facilities during the baseball seasons as scheduled by
the PBGYAA..
Staff believes that implementing the policy in this manner will greatly increase the
opportunities for all appropriate users to have access to the facilities.
ENFORCEMENT /SUPERVISION:
With the increased activities in the parks, including year round baseball, softball, roller
hockey, etc., along with the addition of new facilities (Mirasol Park) the implementation
of even a limited facility usage permit policy will require additional staff to enforce the
policy in an equitable manner. The department anticipates accomplishing this through
the use of Parks Rangers. These Park Rangers would be utilized on the weekends and
evenings to assist in enforcing this new policy, as well as other City related ordinances,
specifically Ordinance Number 46 which deals with parks and recreation related items.
Under normal operating procedures, the Ranger(s) would patrol the parks system on a
regular basis assisting the parks visitors whenever and wherever possible. Parks users
would also have the ability to contact the Ranger if a situation warrants by calling the
Ranger through a cell phone number, that will be posted at each facility. If a situation
exists wherein the Ranger needs assistance in handling a problem or enforcement of a
policy or ordinance, the Ranger would be able to contact the Police Department for
assistance.
The addition of the Parks Rangers will increase the budget by approximately $70,000 -
$75,000 per year, which would include salaries, benefits, uniforms, phones, etc. (see the
following table). Due to their evening and weekend scheduling, the Rangers would be
able to use a department vehicle.

$ 2,433
$ 3,270
$ 1,739
$ 500
$ 850
$35,942 x 2 = $71,884.00
ANNUAL FIELD MAINTENANCE:
Incorporated in all of the scheduled facility usage time, would be the appropriate amount
of "down time" required by the department to complete the annual maintenance on the
facilities. This would involve closing the facilities for up to a month (for bermuda turf
fields) in order to allow for verti- cutting, aerification, and top dressing. Other required
maintenance can be completed throughout the year on a regular, daily schedule.
The scheduled "down time" that is needed to complete the major annual repairs to each
facility will involve closing the facility to all use for an extended time period. Staff
anticipates closing the facilities each year at the approximate times listed in the following
table.

December 10 - 15
PERMITS AND FEE STRUCTURE:
For those Non - Affiliated Organized Groups who would like to use the city facilities, they
would need to apply to the Parks and Recreation department to obtain a permit and pay
the appropriate fee to use the facilities.
The permitting process for organizations who fall in the category of Non - Affiliated
Organized Groups would include requesting the permit from the department no more than
three working days in advance of the projected use and paying the appropriate fees at that
time. This procedure will allow the department to ensure that an non - affiliated group
does not monopolize the City facilities. Permittee will be given a copy of the permit to
carry on site, and in the case of inclement weather, the permit can be re- issued. These
groups should also be required to carry liability insurance which names the City as an
additional insured. Adult teams who are participating in a current city sponsored leagues
will be not be required to provide the insurance if pulling a practice permit.
Staff believes that these groups are often non - resident heavy, and as such they should be
willing to pay to use the facilities. Regardless of the composition of these groups, staff is
proposing the following schedule for fees to use the facilities by groups such as this.
Staff conducted a survey of other agencies in 2000, to determine equitable fees to charge
potential permit users. From that survey, staff determined that the fees proposed were
within industry standards.
The light fees were based upon actual FPL bills for the named facilities, along with
estimated costs for repairs and replacement.

Uuu
If an Non - Affiliated Organized Group would like to use any of the facilities for a
tournament, staff proposes that the organization make the request in writing to the
department at least four weeks in advance.
The following fees proposed for these tournaments have been in effect with the
department since May of 1997, and have been used for several benefit tournaments and
the NSA Girl's State fastpitch tournament.

$20/hour /field

For those individuals who desire to use the facilities to conduct private instructional
lessons, they will need to conform with the criteria as stated in Ordinance 46 — 13 which
states:
(a) "No person shall engage in any commercial activity for compensation, nor solicit or
canvass for the sale or rental of merchandise, services, goods, or property of any kind
or character, within a city park ".
(b) "This section shall not apply to a tenant, concessionaire, permittee, or licensee who is
lawfully operating in accordance with the terms of a lease or concession agreement
with the City or in accordance with the terms of a permit or license granted by the
Director ".
Additionally, staff believes that since these private contractors are using city facilities to
earn money, these individuals should be responsible for sharing their profits with the
City. As a result, they should fall under the same criteria the department uses when
hiring other outside contractors, which involves advertising through the department's
newsletter, registration of the activity through normal registration procedures, a 70/30
split of fees with the City, and disbursement of funds through the Finance Department.
CONCLUSION:
Staff believes that the benefits of implementing such as system as described herein will
have a positive impact on the department and the City. Not only will the service level to
the residents increase by providing increased open use times, the designated recreational
providers will have the security of knowing that their efforts in providing these valuable
services to the city will not be undermined by outside organizations.
�L%
Staff recommends that this policy be implemented with or without changes in order to
provide additional facility use to the residents as well as clarifying how outside Non -
Affiliated Organized Groups/Private Contractors can utilize city facilities.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor & City Council
APPROVED: Ronald M. Ferris, City Manager
FROM: Peter T. Bergel, Fire Chie
SUBJECT: Declaration of Surplus Asset
Background
DATE: February 15, 2001
Rescue 62 was budgeted for refurbishment in the 2000/2001 Fiscal Year. Part of the
refurbishment included replacing the chassis on this vehicle. Therefore, Fire Rescue has
a used chassis that can be declared surplus.
Discussion
During the 2000/2001 Fiscal Year Fire Rescue "piggybacked" on the bid for the
refurbishment of Rescue 61. This bid did not give an allowance for the trade in value of
the old chassis. Fire Rescue will return at a later Council Meeting for the trade in of this
chassis for needed field equipment.
Recommendation
Staff recommends Asset #9516, VIN.# 1FV3GFBCXSL611713, rescue chassis be
declared a surplus asset.

BACKGROU : This is an amendment to improve the police pension benefits. The
amendment will help to keep and attract police officers as it brings pension benefits up to the
level of other police pensions in Palm Beach County and throughout the state. This is the first
time the police pension benefits are being amended since 1995. Police officers are paying for
the costs of the benefit improvements through payroll deduction and a decrease in the
disability benefit. This amendment has been approved by the Board of Trustees of the Palm
Beach Gardens Police Pension fund.
The City Council unanimously adopted this ordinance on first reading at the February 1, 2001,
city council meeting.
DISCUSSION: Based on a survey of other municipalities and of the participants opinions, the
following benefits will make the City of Palm Beach Gardens Police Pension fund competitive
with the benefits offered by those of other municipalities. Upon :approval of council, the
attached ordinance amending the pension plan will be as follows:
1. Employee contribution of 8.60% of payroll and changes minimum contribution rate
to match the Florida Statues;
2. Amends statutory reference in Section 50 -111;
3. Changes Normal Retirement to 20 years regardless of age and increase multiplier to
3 %.
4. Provides that the duty death benefit will be at least the accrued benefit without
early retirement reduction and provides that the non -duty death benefit will be
payable for the life of the beneficiary.
5. Permits lump sum distributions at the discretion of the Board of Trustees when the
single sum benefit is less than $5000.00 in accordance with the Internal Revenue
Code;
6. Amends the buyback provisions to allow the purchase at any time during
employment and allows purchase to be financed over a period equal to the length of
time being purchased or five years.
7. Adds a provision for non- guaranteed cost of living adjustment; and
8. Amends DROP language to incorporate 20 and out retirement and simplifies
eligibility requirements.
9. Decreases the duty disability percentage to 60% of average monthly compensation
from 66 2/3.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of these benefit improvements by City
Council.
Staff recommends the City Council to adopt the pension ordinance on second reading.

Section 8. Article III, Chapter 50 of the City of Palm Beach Gardens Code of Ordinances
is hereby amended by adding a new section 50 -135 as follows:
Sec. 50 -135. Annual Adjustments.
1. Subject to the conditions set forth in this section, the board of trustees shall
annually authorize an annual adjustment, the amount of which shall be
determined as of each September 30th. The amount of the annual adjustment
shall be equal to the actuarial present value of future pension payments to
current pensioners multiplied by the positive difference, if any, between the
rate of investment return and eight and one -half percent (8.50°/x). The actuary
shall determine whether there may be a annual adjustment based on the
following factors:
(a) The actuary for the pension fund shall determine the rate of investment return
on the pension fund assets during the twelve (12) month period ending each
September 30th. The rate determined shall be the rate reported in the most
recent actuarial report submitted pursuant to part VII of chapter 112, Florida
Statutes.
(b) The actuary for the pension fund shall, as of September 30, determine the
actuarial present value of future pension payments to current pensioners. The
actuarial present values shall be calculated using an interest rate of eight and
one half ,(8.5) percent a year compounded annually, and a mortality table
approved by the board of trustees and as used in the most recent actuarial
report submitted pursuant to part VI I of chapter 112, Florida Statutes. This will
be the pool of funds available to fund the annual adjustment.
U If the actuary determines there may be an annual adjustment, the board of
trustees shall authorize such an adjustment unless the administrative
expenses of distribution exceed the amount available for the distribution.
3. Annual adjustments will be made to pensioners who have attained age 55.
Annual adjustments will be paid to beneficiaries who are receiving monthly
benefits beginning when the participant would have reached age 55.
4. The annual adjustment will be made as a percentage of the benefit and the
8
9 percentage will be the same for all recipients. The amount of the percentage
increase will be determined by the Fund's actuary in accordance with the
above procedure. The percentage increase will be equal to the amount that
can be fully funded by the pool of funds available but not to exceed 4% in any
year and determined by that procedure. If the pool of funds available is
greater than 4% in any given year, then the remainder will be placed in an
annual adjustment reserve designated for future annual adjustment
distributions.
5. The annual adjustments shall be made as of July 1 and each July 1 thereafter,
provided a person was retired for at least one year on July 1.
Section 9. Article III, Chapter 50, Section 50 -151 of the City of Palm Beach Gardens Code
0 of Ordinances is hereby amended as follows:
Sec. 50 -151. Eligibility to participate.
