The members of the Wellington Youth Council briefly introduced themselves. 

Christie Workman, a senior at Wellington High School, plans on attending the University of Florida this 

summer. She wanted to be a member of the Youth Council because she was interested in how the 

youth and teens were involved in their local Council. 

Brittany Wallrath, a senior at Wellington High School, plans on attending the University of Florida this 

summer. She was excited to be a part of the Youth Council because she saw it as a good way to 

bring the community closer together so that the Council and the teens have a better voice in the 

community. 

Jenna Baxter, a junior at Wellington High School, wanted to get involved with the Youth Council 

because of her involvement with student government at her school and believed it was a good 

extension to bring the schools and government together. 

Aldo Araujo, a junior at Palm Beach Central High School, was honored to be part of the Youth Council 

and hoped to serve as the voice for the youth and hopefully to be part of the Council in the future. 

Vanessa Hotchkiss, a junior at Palm Beach Central High School, was glad to be part of the Council. 

As a member of the student government, she wanted to expand her knowledge of the inner workings 

of government. 

Megan Winterfeldt, a freshman at Palm Beach Central High School, thought it would be great to be a 

part of the Youth Council to see how the community works and to be involved in it. 

The Youth Council updated Council on the following: 

(a) St. Baldrick’s Day Event: Over $62,000 was raised for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation. A 

special thank you was given to Mayor Bowen for having his head shaved which raised over 

$1,000. The St. Baldrick’s Committee will hold a debriefing meeting shortly to discuss next 

year’s plan. Wellington was thanked for their support of the event. 

(b) Future Projects: A high school musical was being presented on April 2 nd at 7:30 p.m. This 

event will feature different schools around Wellington who will present two acts of their 

spring plays. 

(c) On April 16 th , the Youth Council will be participating in the “Great American Cleanup” from 

9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. 

Vice Mayor Willhite said that it was an honor to have the Youth Council participate at the meeting. He 

thought it was great hearing their voices and having them involved in government. Vice Mayor 

Willhite said that they were the future and it was important for Council to hear the needs of the youth 

in the community. He thought that it would be helpful to have the Youth Council’s input on the projects 

that they work on together. He also thanked the parents for allowing their children to participate in the 

2


Youth Council. Vice Mayor Willhite also looked forward to having them work on ongoing projects and 

to have them participate in other things in the city. 

Mayor pro tem Priore stated that he had an opportunity to sponsor a bill with the Florida League of 

Cities that now requires Civics Education to be taught in Middle School. He hoped that the members 

of the Youth Council had the opportunity to take the Civics course. Mayor pro tem Priore announced 

that he brought a copy of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States 

for each member of the Youth Council. He encouraged them to read the documents, understand them 

and live by them especially if they wanted to become further involved in government. Mayor pro tem 

Priore said that it was his honor to be sitting with the Youth Council. 

Mayor Bowen thanked all the members of the Youth Council for their participation. He said that he 

had the opportunity to get to know them a little better at the St. Baldrick’s Day event, and 

congratulated them on a great event. Mayor Bowen thought it was great that they were taking the 

initiative to be active in the community. 

Councilwoman Gerwig welcomed the Youth Council. She said that Council was excited to have the 

opportunity to be able to share what they do with the Youth Council. 

Councilman Coates said that it was very gratifying to him to see that the members of the Youth 

Council have taken the initiative to be leaders in the community at a very young age when most 

people don’t know what leadership is about. He congratulated the parents of the Youth Council who 

did a fantastic job with their children. Councilman Coates said that what makes Wellington such a 

great place to live are its great families.

8. REGULAR AGENDA 

A. RESOLUTION R2011-25 (APPROVAL OF THE PLAT OF LIFE COVENANT CHURCH, 

WELLINGTON CAMPUS): A RESOLUTION OF WELLINGTON, FLORIDA'S COUNCIL 

ACCEPTING AND APPROVING THE PLAT OF LIFE COVENANT CHURCH, 

WELLINGTON CAMPUS, BEING A REPLAT OF TRACTS 6, 7 AND 8, BLOCK 26, PALM 

BEACH FARMS COMPANY PLAT NO. 3; AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND VILLAGE 

CLERK TO EXECUTE THE PLAT; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. 

Mr. Schofield introduced the Agenda item. Ms. Rodriguez read the resolution title. Mr. Schofield 

announced that Mr. Riebe was present to make a presentation and to answer any questions. 

Mayor Bowen asked if they were just accepting and approving a plat that already was in existence. 

Mr. Schofield explained that it is the plat for only the on-site component and it is a ministerial approval 

that meets all of the legal requirements. 

A motion was made by Councilman Coates, seconded by Vice Mayor Willhite, approving 

Resolution No. R2011-25 as presented. 

Councilman Coates asked if it was correct that the approval of this plat would not in any way burden 

the K-Park property with any future obligations of the Village to provide access easements or anything 

of that nature. Mr. Schofield said that was correct. 

4


Vice Mayor Willhite asked if there was any way to work with the Lake Worth Drainage District on the 

easements and the water mitigation on this parcel because he felt it would make more sense if they 

could help go to the south rather than to the north of it. In response, Mr. Riebe explained that the 

Lake Worth Drainage District’s water elevations were higher and in order for the Life Church to drain, 

they would actually have to redesign the entire site, i.e., building elevations. Vice Mayor Willhite 

asked if it was correct that even if the Lake Worth Drainage District was willing to allow that, Life 

Church would have to do a whole new site plan. Mr. Riebe said that was correct explaining that it 

would be a new redesign and a whole new engineering design. He explained that when Wellington 

purchased K-Park, both K-Park and this parcel were annexed into the Village at that time. He further 

explained that Wellington has a different control elevation for its flood control system which is 

approximately 1 ½ feet lower than Lake Worth Drainage District. For that reason, the outfall elevation 

was designed to match Wellington’s control elevations. He felt that going to the Lake Worth Drainage 

District at this point would be problematic. Mr. Riebe further explained that the drainage system along 

Stribling for that parcel and K-Park was all designed to handle the flows that come out of that parcel 

as well as the Life Church, and the existing storm drainage along Stribling which connects into the C-8 

canal. He said that has all been provided for and noted that as they work through these issues, they 

have a meeting scheduled with the Life Church on Thursday, and they will work through how to best 

arrange the drainage easement so that it best accommodates the farming operations and future 

developments of K-Park. 

Vice Mayor Willhite asked if Wellington annexes a parcel of property do they automatically get a 

drainage associated with it or do they have to also annex the drainage easement or would they have 

to get the Lake Worth Drainage District to release them. He questioned how Wellington obtained the 

easements along Stribling when the property was annexed into the Village. In response, Mr. Riebe 

said that was part of the annexation agreement. He said that when they de-annexed, it came into 

Wellington and all of those things came with it. 

Hypothetically, Vice Mayor Willhite asked if Wellington were to annex Farmington Estates and the 

drainage was between them would that drainage easement automatically come to Wellington or would 

they have to release it. Mr. Kurtz explained that what happened was that the property was annexed 

into the Village of Wellington and then there was a special act of the legislature that provided for the 

annexation into the Acme Improvement District and the de-annexation into the Lake Worth Drainage 

District. He believed that in part the lower control elevation was an incentive for them to come into the 

Acme Improvement District. Mr. Kurtz explained that with Farmington to the south, there is a situation 

where the drainage is already in place, everything was designed in accordance with Lake Worth 

Drainage District standards, and if they elected to annex into Wellington there would probably be no 

real reason to have them de-annex from Lake Worth Drainage District into the Acme Improvement 

District as it would just remain. He said that there are areas of this community where everything to 

the east of SR7 that is in the Village of Wellington is also in the Lake Worth Drainage District. 

Councilwoman Gerwig disclosed that Life Church is her church and that she tithes to them. She asked 

if it was correct that Wellington was not cutting off Life Church’s drainage by approving this plat. Mr. 

Riebe said that was correct. 

The motion was voted on and was unanimously passed (5-0). 

B. RESOLUTION AC2011-04 (DRAINAGE EASEMENT FOR LIFE COVENANT CHURCH, 

INC.): A RESOLUTION OF WELLINGTON, FLORIDA'S COUNCIL, ACTING AS THE

AND OF TRACTS 46 THROUGH 55, BLOCK 19, PALM BEACH FARMS COMPANY 

PLAT NO. 3; AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND VILLAGE CLERK TO EXECUTE THE 

PLAT; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. 

Mr. Schofield introduced the Agenda item. Ms. Rodriguez read the resolution title. 

A motion was made by Councilman Coates, seconded by Vice Mayor Willhite, approving 

Resolution No. R2011-26 as presented. 

Vice Mayor Willhite explained that this approval was only to record the plat noting that Wellington was 

just accepting the park, school and fire stations which are already in existence and nothing was being 

changed. 

The motion was voted on and was unanimously passed (5-0). 

E. RESOLUTION R2011-27 (REPLAT OF LOTS 266 - 272 IN OLYMPIA PLAT 1 POD H): A 

RESOLUTION OF WELLINGTON, FLORIDA'S COUNCIL, APPROVING THE REPLAT OF 

LOTS 266 - 272 IN OLYMPIA PLAT 1 POD H BEING A REPLAT OF OLYMPIA PLAT 1; 

AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND CLERK TO EXECUTE THE PLAT; AND PROVIDING 

AN EFFECTIVE DATE. 


explained that this plat combines lots 266-272 and reduces the pod by one lot from 41 to 40 lots. 

A motion was made by Vice Mayor Willhite, seconded by Councilman Coates, and 

unanimously passed (5-0) approving Resolution No. R2011-27 as presented. 

F. RESOLUTION R2011-28 (APPROVAL OF THE PLAT FOR MIDA FARMS, BEING A 

REPLAT OF A 44.247 ACRE TRACT LOCATED IN THE SOUTHWEST 1/4 OF SECTION

AND VILLAGE CLERK TO EXECUTE THE PLAT; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE 

DATE. 


explained that the property had originally been divided into four lots and this plat reduces it to three 

lots and one lot becomes larger and cleans up the lines as they relate to the internal management 

system. 

A motion was made by Mayor pro tem Priore, seconded by Vice Mayor Willhite and 

unanimously passed (5-0) approving Resolution No. R2011-28 as presented. 

G. RESOLUTION R2011-30 (OPPOSITION OF UNIFORM LAW ON FERTILIZER 

REGULATION): A RESOLUTION OF WELLINGTON, FLORIDA’S COUNCIL URGING 

THE STATE LEGISLATURE TO RECOGNIZE AND RESPECT THE ROLE AND 

RESPONSIBLITIES OF LOCAL GOVERNMENTS IN PROTECTING THE QUALITY OF 

FLORIDA WATER BODIES; TO RESPECT AND UPHOLD THE UNANIMOUS 

RECOMMENDATION OF THE CONSUMER FERTILIZER TASK FORCE; TO SUPPORT 

LEGISLATION THAT IS FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE; TO SUPPORT MEASURES THAT 

RECOGNIZE THAT THE GOVERNMENT CLOSEST TO THE PEOPLE IS THE MOST 

EFFECTIVE GOVERNMENT; DIRECTING WELLINGTON’S MANAGER TO FORWARD A 

COPY OF THIS RESOLUTION TO THE GOVERNOR, THE PRESIDENT OF THE 

SENATE, THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE AND THE MEMBERS OF THE PALM BEACH 

COUNTY LEGISLATIVE DELEGATION, THE FLORIDA LEAGUE OF CITIES, THE 

FLORIDA ASSOCIATION OF COUNTIES AND THE FLORIDA STORMWATER 

ASSOCIATION; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. 


explained that the State was planning on adopting a one-size fits all fertilizer statute that governs the 

entire state. He further explained that this is problematic for Wellington because they are one of a few 

communities that are under a settlement agreement with the State’s Environmental Protection Agency 

and the South Florida Water Management District to deal with water quality problems specifically 

phosphorous. He noted that Wellington’s rules are more stringent than the State rules would need to 

be. He explained that because Wellington is a unique community that deals with horse waste and 

phosphorus in amounts that most communities do not have, Wellington needs to have the ability to 

enforce their own more stringent rules. Mr. Schofield said that the passage of this resolution would 

send that message to the Governor and the legislature. 

A motion was made by Councilman Coates, seconded by Vice Mayor Willhite and unanimously 

passed (5-0) approving Resolution No. R2011-30 as presented. 

Mayor pro tem Priore thought it would a nice gesture to have the Youth Council endorse the resolution 

and send it to the legislature as young people looking for their future development to remain pristine 

as Wellington was trying to make it.

COUNCILWOMAN GERWIG: Councilwoman Gerwig presented the following report: 

� She was very excited about the “Touch of Broadway” presentation on Saturday, April 2 nd at the 

Amphitheatre. She explained that Wellington High School could not participate this year due 

to scheduling conflicts. Wellington High’s musical was held several months ago and their 

Prom was being held the same night as this production. She hoped that they will be able to 

participate next year. She invited everyone to attend and thought it was going to be a very 

good showcase of the local talent. 

� Councilwoman Gerwig acknowledged that she took her first trip to Tallahassee which she 

enjoyed, and thanked Wellington for that opportunity. She said that it was a privilege and 

honor for her to represent Wellington. Councilwoman Gerwig thought that the Council did 

good work in Tallahassee and helped their legislators understand that their actions impact 

Wellington. 

� She announced that Kristen Rulison, a teacher at Elbridge Gale Elementary School, was 

named Palm Beach County’s Teacher of the Year. She recognized Ms. Rulison for her

� Councilwoman Gerwig announced that Wellington’s Joe Piconcelli was recognized with a 

Citizens Award from the Wellington Chamber.

VICE MAYOR WILLHITE: Vice Mayor Willhite presented the following report: 

� He announced that Wellington celebrated its 15 th anniversary of incorporation the past 

Saturday. He felt that Wellington is a great place to live. 

� He and Mayor Bowen attended the St. Baldrick’s Day event and had the opportunity to shave 

one of the student’s heads. He said that this is such a great event noting that as a firefighter, 

he has been involved in it in Palm Beach County for many years. He praised the students 

from the two rival high schools who came together for a common good and raised such a large 

amount of money for children’s cancer which he felt said a lot about the youth in the 

community. Vice Mayor Willhite said that as a new parent, it was so hard for him to imagine 

what children diagnosed with cancer go through and how proud the parents should be of their 

children who were willing to help those kids who were battling that disease. He noted that a 

daughter of one of his co-workers has cancer and she is fighting a very courageous battle, and 

he was amazed at how these young children were courageously fighting their disease. He 

said that he appreciated the opportunity to participate in this event, and hoped that next year 

the goal would be even higher and that over $100,000 will be raised so that someday there will 

be a cure for cancer especially kids cancer. 

� Vice Mayor Willhite requested that staff provide Council with residential feedback from the 

neighborhood meetings. Mr. Schofield advised Vice Mayor Willhite that staff will provide that 

information to Council. 

� He reiterated that the Palm Beach County League of Cities was meeting the next day. He said 

that it was great to be able to bring representatives from other cities into Wellington and to 

have the opportunity to showcase some of the ongoing projects. 

� Vice Mayor Willhite referred to Wellington’s lobbying efforts and asked if Council wanted to 

schedule some type of workshop to discuss their lobbyist plans. He said that it was his 

understanding that the own lobbyist Wellington has had is Mr. Jim Harvey. Vice Mayor 

Willhite felt that it was important for Council to discuss their lobbying efforts, and that it would 

be beneficial to have good lobbyists in Tallahassee assisting the Village on a daily basis. Mr. 

Schofield said that Council will need to have that discussion because Mr. Harvey, who has 

been Wellington’s lobbyist for a very long time, has indicated his intention to retire. He said 

that Mr. Harvey has retained Fred Dickinson to help him noting that Mr. Harvey pays him out 

of what he is paid by Wellington. Mr. Schofield agreed that a workshop to discuss this would 

be a good idea because Council needed to make a decision in the next 24 months as to what 

direction they would be taking in the future. 

Mayor pro tem Priore stated that the Florida League of Cities which Wellington belongs to has a 

legislative body who are actively involved, i.e., Rebecca O’Hara, an Attorney and a renowned lobbyist 

in Tallahassee. He further stated that Council receives a status report from the League on bills before 

the legislative, what they oppose/support as well as a report from the Federal Action Strike Team 

(FAST) which addresses federal issues. He said that for a long time he has said that it is an 

ambitious idea for Wellington to employ and have someone working on specific issues, but one of the 

purposes of having the Florida League of Cities as their lobbying team is that they benefit because 

they get that as a bonus as part of their membership. He felt that when Wellington had specific issues 

in the past, i.e., water quality, they had individuals who represented them as an ad hoc type of use. 

Mayor pro tem Priore explained that the League addresses every bill that comes before the legislature 

and if they detect a problem, they will state that the bill will be damaging to local government and 

home rule. He wanted to ensure that even if Wellington goes beyond that they don’t diminish their 

opportunity to take advantage of what the Florida League of Cities provides to them. 

Vice Mayor Willhite said that his hope was that through that workshop they will have several lobbyists 

on retainer and will not specifically hire one until the time comes when either it is Wellington’s opinion 

9


or a city-specific issue at which time they will be hired for that item. He then asked if Wellington had 

any efforts in Washington, D.C. and if they have any lobbyists there. Mr. Schofield explained that no 

concentrated work has been done in Washington, D.C. for a while. He said that last year there were 

some meetings that they wanted to schedule with the Environmental Protection Agency over their 

plan to adopt numeric water quality standards and they utilized the firm of Beal Johnson, federal 

lobbyists, who were retained by Wellington in the past, to set up those contacts because Wellington 

didn’t have them. Mr. Schofield said that they utilized them for a very specific reason because they 

had expertise in that area. 

Mayor pro tem Priore said that the issue of the numeric count was raised and discussed during the 

FAST meeting. He said that as they visited the Congressmen and the Senators with representatives 

of all of the 17 League of Cities throughout the State, that item was paramount on their list of 

concerns. He said that indirectly or directly, both the National League and State League were 

addressing issues that will impact Wellington. Mayor pro tem Priore further stated that the League 

has ongoing committees and Wellington has an opportunity to sit on one of them by just requesting an 

appointment. Additionally, that is the opportunity where Wellington can bring forth issues that impact 

Wellington as a city that the League may support if they determine that the issue will be impacting 

cities throughout the state. He thought that it was imperative for Wellington to use its own lobbyists 

on specific issues as they have done in the past, but they also need to use as their core support base 

both the National and Florida League because Wellington can take advantage of the League’s 

lobbyists through its membership in that organization. 

Vice Mayor Willhite continued his report: 

� Vice Mayor Willhite announced that he was appointing Mr. George Unger as his appointment 

to the Architectural Review Board. 

� He thanked the Youth Council for their attendance and participation and encouraged them to 

stay involved. 

COUNCILMAN COATES: Councilman Coates presented the following report: 

� Councilman Coates thanked Mr. Schofield for his leadership at Wellington’s 2 nd Annual Iron 

Horse event. He said that last year there were approximately forty motorbikes and this past 

Saturday, only about 20 motorbikes participated in the event. He encouraged people to 

participate when this comes again. Councilman Coates expressed his disappointment that 

fewer riders had participated in this year’s event, and he felt Wellington needed to provide the 

community with as much advance notice as possible when the ride is scheduled. Councilman 

Coates extended his congratulations to Councilwoman Gerwig for completing her first Iron 

Horse ride. 

� He extended his appreciation to the Youth Council for their attendance and participation in the 

meeting and for taking such an active role in their schools and in the community. He said that 

he was impressed with their achievement with the St. Baldrick’s Day event. He said in seeing 

the work and enthusiasm that they put into this event, he felt if they were involved in some of 

Wellington’s projects it would help them achieve their goals. Councilman Coates said that 

Wellington has been pursuing the Patriots Memorial that is expected to be ready by the 

September 11, 2011 celebration, and he said one of the goals of the project is to have as 

much citizen involvement and citizen fundraising as possible. He raised the possibility of the 

Youth Council adopting that as one of their projects as well as assisting in the fundraising. 

� Councilman Coates said that he had the opportunity to review the Strategic Review which is 

the Crime Reports provided by PBSO. He said that when Wellington was discussing the 

speed limits, he had asked if there was a correlation between accidents and safety and the 

10


speed limits. He said that Captain Hart had indicated that he was going to look at that. 

Councilman Coates said that he had tried to discern in looking at the traffic crashes and stops 

whether there was any statistical difference, but he could not decipher it. He requested that 

Mr. Schofield meet with Captain Hart to resume that discussion about whether there was any 

correlation between the community being safer and the changes that Council made to the 

speed limits. 

MAYOR PRO TEM PRIORE: Mayor pro tem Priore presented the following report: 

� He expressed his compliments and excitement at having the Youth Council attend the Council 

meeting. Mayor pro tem Priore said that it was unique in Wellington to have two great high 

schools even though they are County schools run by the Palm Beach County School District. 

He asked the members of the Youth Council to encourage the underclassmen to become 

involved. Mayor pro tem Priore said that for something like this to continue to grow, they have 

to be the people to do that and to do their best to make it happen. He extended his 

congratulations on their work and the activities that they have been involved in. 

MAYOR BOWEN: Mayor Bowen presented the following report: 

� He spoke of the excitement and energy at the St. Baldrick’s event. He said that the 

Committee did a great job with the event which he appreciated. 

� Mayor Bowen said that Council’s trip to Tallahassee was a very productive one for Wellington. 

He said that it was evident that Wellington is very well-respected and the lobbyists that are 

used, both Mr. Harvey and Mr. Dickinson, are also well-respected. Mayor Bowen said during 

his first trip to Tallahassee this year, he visited with seven legislators in one day, and during 

the second trip he took the previous week with all of Council, they visited not only with several 

legislators, but with the President of the Senate, the CFO and he had a meeting with the 

Secretary of the Department of Community Affairs. He said that it was clear that they were 

willing to listen to Council and the people they have hired up in Tallahassee. Mayor Bowen 

said that he was very supportive of the League of Cities’ lobbying efforts and noted that he 

volunteered to serve on one of the committees. He felt that Wellington still had a number of 

issues that were unique to them that they would still have to fight for on their own. 

� Mayor Bowen said that he recently learned there is an organization in Philadelphia called 

“Work to Ride” that offers inner city kids the opportunity to ride horses if they cleaned the 

stalls. He explained that this organization put together a polo team comprised of inner city 

kids that won the National Inter Scholastic Championship who were visiting our area, and they 

were invited to visit City Hall. 



1. Bart Novack. Mr. Novack spoke on the Patriots Memorial and felt that it was turning out to be 

something it should not be and that it should be supporting the people who died there. He was 

upset that only the Sheriffs and Firemen were taking the piece of steel and were promoting it, 

and there wasn’t one citizen there to watch it. He also questioned what happened to the 

$80,000 budget and felt that everyone knew that it was never going to cost $80,000 or 

$125,000 and would be much more than that. Mr. Novack then asked if Wellington was going 

to be a city or a village. 

11


Mayor Bowen said that they were both defined as the same thing in the State of Florida. Mayor 

pro tem Priore added that the State of Florida has no separate designation for a town or a village 

and they are a municipal government. 

� Mr. Novack felt that the equestrians have a problem when the Fire Department shifted their 

fire station out to Olympia. He felt that they were leaving the fire house empty during the 

day during the dry season for the equestrians. He thought it was unfair to the equestrians 

to have that house empty which he said could be verified by Mr. Bonde. He noted that 

Wellington’s fire stations were also doing outside calls so he did not believe that numbers 

being presented for Wellington were correct. Mr. Novack then brought up the topic of the 

golf carts and the school crossings. 

Mr. Schofield advised Mr. Novack that Mr. Bonde and the Sheriff’s Office were working together and 

would have a recommendation on that noting that they were discussing with the School District 

whether they wanted to have the lights replaced at the school. He said that if Mr. Novack would meet 

with Mr. Bonde he will advise him of the status. Mr. Schofield said that Mr. Bonde will also update Mr. 

Novack on the golf carts. Mr. Novack said that he received an e-mail from Mr. Bonde stating that they 

weren’t interested in the golf carts, but only tractors. Mr. Novack indicated that they were both illegal. 

2. Donna Baxter, 15940 Meadow Wood Drive. Ms. Baxter said that she was a proud parent of 

Jenna Baxter one of the members of the Youth Council. She said that she was very happy 

that Wellington resurrected the Youth Council. Ms. Baxter stated that she not only lives in 

Wellington, but also works as a Social Studies teacher at Palm Beach Central High School as 

well as the Student Activities Director. She further noted that as a Social Studies teacher, she 

was very appreciative of this hands-on opportunity to put civics in action. She said that what 

they do in the classroom doesn’t mean as much as when the students get hands-on 

experience. Ms. Baxter said that she will continue to keep the Youth Council up and alive 

because it assists the teachers with what they do. She said that her own daughter has been 

inspired by this line of work which has helped her to plan her future as she graduates from 

high school. Ms. Baxter believed that Wellington is a great place to live, work and raise 

families and she thanked Council for the work that they do. 

Vice Mayor Willhite asked Mr. Schofield if they could have Chief Baker do a follow-up on the issue 

that Mr. Novack raised. 


There being no further business to come before Council, the meeting was adjourned at 8:00 p.m. 

Approved:

Mayor Bowen asked if numbers had been received to determine what the cost would be just to put in 

the steel and some landscaping and that the rest could be done in phases as the money is collected. 

Mr. Schofield said that the Mayor had requested that; however, he did not know if that had been 

received.

Mayor pro tem Priore said that the items that were listed on the sheets provided to Council were 

sequential items that had value and could be either constructed at this time or added over a 

subsequent period of time. Councilwoman Gerwig noted that the flagpole was not on the list. Vice 

Mayor Willhite said that some of the items listed were available for sponsorship. 

Public Comments 

1. Mr. Sam Nebb. Mr. Nebb requested that Mayor Bowen read his card. Mayor Bowen read Mr. 

Nebb’s comments into the record: “I support the erection of the Patriot Monument brought to 

us from the World Trade Center as a tribute to the heroes who saved many at the horrendous 

9/11 attack.” 

2. Mr. Ernie Zimmerman. Mr. Zimmerman spoke in support of building the Patriot Memorial as it 

had been approved. 

3. Mr. Bob Margolis. Mr. Margolis said that although he was concerned about the cost, Council 

had unanimously approved it. He spoke in support of building the Patriot Memorial as it was 

approved. 

4. Arty Werkle. Mr. Werkle, a retired New York City Police Officer and Firefighter, spoke in 

support of building the Patriot Memorial as had been approved. 

5. Mike Poza. Mr. Poza spoke in support of building the Patriot Memorial using private funds as 

it was initially intended, however, he did not support spending almost $500,000 to build a 

memorial which would increase his taxes in the future. 

Mayor pro tem Priore asked Mr. Schofield to explain the funds that were being used for the project, 

the impact on the taxes, what would happen to the funds if they were not used, and any other relevant 

information that clarified the fact that tax dollars were not being used for the project nor would they 

ever be using tax dollars for the project. In response, Mr. Schofield explained that generally speaking 

they were not using Ad Valorem Tax Dollars; the source of the funding for the Municipal Complex 

approvals have been principally from either impact fees, connection fees or dedicated reserves. He 

further explained that some of the funds were restricted and could only be used for limited 

applications; i.e., impact fees, connection fees could only be used for new facilities. Mr. Schofield 

said that the funds were budgeted and were allocated for the Municipal Complex. He said that they 

were in the financial calculations and their expenditure should not impact future tax rates, and can be 

reallocated among new capital projects, but that they could not be used to meet payroll or towards 

general maintenance. Mr. Schofield stated that the source of the funds were generally impact fees, 

capacity charges and restricted funds. 

Mayor pro tem Priore asked Mr. Schofield what would become of the money if it was not used for this 

project. In response, Mr. Schofield said that the impact fees that were not used would be refunded 

back to the developer who paid them. 

Mayor Bowen pointed out that the funds could be used for other things, for example, the Wellington 

Community Center. Mr. Schofield responded affirmatively. 

Public Comment 

1. John Donaldson. Mr. Donaldson said that he supported the Memorial, but questioned how the 

cost increased so greatly. 

Mr. Schofield explained that the original project was much smaller in scope than the final one that was 

approved. He said that the original estimates of $80,000 to $100,000, only included the piece of steel 

and some pavers. He said that as the project evolved with the flame, fountain and pergola as well as 

4


other things that were added, the initial estimate from the architect increased to $225,000. Mr. 

Schofield pointed out that there were some items that had not been included that should have been, 

i.e., site work, gas connection and those types of things. He said that staff was surprised at what the 

bid came in as. Mr. Schofield said that the project as it was put out in the RFP was in the $225,000 

range. 

Mr. Donaldson continued noting that he had read about a contractor who had offered to 

donate services. He noted that Palm Beach Gardens had built its memorial for only $160,000 

with a lot of donations, and that the County, who decided not to proceed with their memorial, 

had budgeted $200,000. 

Councilwoman Gerwig pointed out that the base of the steel had been donated. 

Mr. Donaldson then asked if the $485,000 did not include any costs for what had been done 

thus far. 

Mr. Schofield explained that the cost was not to exceed $485,000. He noted that with some of the 

things that were being done, it would be less although he did not know that. He noted that the 

contractor was donating back their management fee. 

Mr. Donaldson reiterated that he supported it, but was concerned about the increased cost. 

Councilman Coates thought that they needed to clarify why Council was discussing it at this time. He 

said that from the onset this was a Council project that had been unanimously approved, one which all 

of Council had agreed was a very good project for the Village of Wellington. He said that he would 

take ownership of this project and disputed comments that this was only Vice Mayor Willhite’s project. 

Councilman Coates said that when he voted on this project, he voted on it because he genuinely 

thought it was a good and fair project and one that would be there for generations to come. He said 

that he has always said that they were not just managing Wellington today, but for the future of the 

generations to come. Councilman Coates said that the price of $485,000 was voted on by a 5-0 vote 

by consent which was not debated in a public forum; however, the only change was the perception of 

how much of the project was going to be satisfied by private funds. Councilman Coates said that he 

was disappointed in the overall escalation of costs although Council knew what the costs were when 

they approved it at $485,000. He reiterated that what they didn’t know was how much of that cost 

would be offset by private funds, and more importantly, when those private funds would come in. 

Councilman Coates said that he believed that when Council initially voted on this project, they did so 

with open eyes knowing what the cost was on the contract, but also without knowing with certainty 

what private funding would be received sufficiently in advance to ensure that all the funding was in 

place prior to the September 11 th opening. He said that he couldn’t believe that anyone on Council 

was of the illusion that the entire $485,000 would have been satisfied by September 11, 2011 for a 

project that had only been started that year. Councilman Coates further stated that he knew that 

there would be a period of time when it would be funded in part with public dollars, but anticipated that 

over time donations would come in later that would offset the full cost of the project. He believed that 

the only thing that has changed that he believed should be discussed was if they weren’t going to get 

the funding sufficiently in advance was the Village prepared to provide the public funding for a period 

of time in anticipation that over time there would be sufficient private donations. Councilman Coates 

also felt that they needed to look at several things. The first was whether or not this was a good 

project noting some of the negative comments that had been made about it which he did not agree 

with. He felt that from a public purpose standpoint, he was comfortable that they were abiding by what 

would be a valid public purpose for the community. In addition, he said that this was not a memorial 

for just the firefighters, police or armed service members, but one for every person who has been a 

5


patriot of the country or community. Councilman Coates said that from what he witnessed at the 

South Florida Fairgrounds, he felt that people will come here to feel connected to something that had 

such a monumental impact on this country. He disagreed with the comments made that Wellington 

was not involved in 9/11. He felt there was nothing more galvanizing in terms of uniting this country 

other than perhaps Pearl Harbor. Councilman Coates also fully disagreed with the comments that this 

was more symbolic than substance. Councilman Coates reiterated that it didn’t look like Wellington 

was going to receive private funding to sufficiently fund the project by September 11, 2011, and asked 

if the Council was prepared to go forward with the project as was originally intended with the idea that 

it would have to be publically funded until the private funding caught up. He said that there was no 

one more concerned about the cost of this than him, but he didn’t want the impression to be that no 

one on Council was aware of the cost of the project which was not the case. Councilman Coates was 

of the opinion that because of that they should stay with the project as it currently stands with no 

changes. He said that he struggled with this decision, but when he looked at the design of the project 

as it was currently designed and what was approved and what it would look like if changes were made 

which would reduce it to a $300,000, he felt that devastated the character of the memorial that they 

were trying to present. He was of the opinion that if they were going to present other than what was 

originally intended, they should not even have the Memorial. Councilman Coates said that he knows 

that this is a decision that was not without criticism or controversy, but he supported staying the 

course. He said that if Council had to take criticism making that decision that was what they were on 

Council for. 

Vice Mayor Willhite said he appreciated Councilman Coates’ comments noting that Council had all 

been supportive of the project. He referenced many of the blogs that questioned why this should be 

done in Wellington. He spoke of his association with an organization called “Honor Flight” that takes 

WW II Veterans to Washington, DC to see their Memorial. He noted that some of these people fought 

over 70 years ago, but had never seen a memorial honoring them. He thought it would be great if 

someone could visit something close by their home to see a memorial honoring something that 

happened in the country’s history like 9/11. Vice Mayor Willhite said that this piece of steel wasn’t just 

going to be for those people who were directly impacted by 9/11, but was for everyone. He said that 

the steel from 9/11 was a focal point of the memorial, but it was only a small part of it. Vice Mayor 

Willhite spoke of the importance of having the eternal flame at the memorial which would honor not 

only those people who were involved in 9/11, but would go on to memorialize residents of the 

community who were engaged in a patriotic act. Vice Mayor Willhite also noted that he had many 

questions and concerns about the increased cost of the project which had increased from $80,000. 

He said that he believed that the final estimate came because of an under estimation from the onset 

of the project. Vice Mayor Willhite pointed out that things had already been done to scale down the 

project because some of the later estimates came in even higher. He didn’t believe that there was as 

much donated for this project as there could be, and was hopeful that the community would wrap 

themselves around it. He said that on September 11, 2011, Wellington was planning a great 

memorial honoring the 10 th year anniversary of this event. Vice Mayor Willhite pointed out how this 

Complex was the new gateway to the Village, and it would set someone’s opinion of the Village. He 

said if some of the focal elements were removed and they only put the steel and flagpole there, he 

would still be happy and they could fundraise in the future; however, he felt if their turned back on 

what was already approved, it would make Wellington look bad as a community. Although it was 

costing more than what was anticipated, he thought they should move forward noting that they would 

not be raising anyone’s taxes. Vice Mayor Willhite pointed out that projects were done within the last 

two years yet no taxes had been raised. He stressed that no tax dollars were being used for this 

project, but instead was coming from an overage of impact fees from builders over the last six years. 

He noted that those funds were used for City Hall noting that he had not initially supported building 

City Hall, but as soon as it was voted on, he stood behind it 100% which has been a great thing for 

the Village. Vice Mayor Willhite said that sometimes the wrong choice is made; however, he felt if 

6


they turned back on this that would be the case. He pointed out that they had invited everyone from 

the State, County and other places to come to Wellington on September 11 th and be involved on a 

County-wide memorial and would unveil the Memorial. He did not want those people to think that 

Wellington made a mistake if it wasn’t what was originally planned. Vice Mayor Willhite also raised 

concerns about removing some of the items and what would happen to the funds from people who 

had already donated money for them, i.e., benches. He thought that they could possibly lose some of 

those donations. He questioned how they would choose to go forward with future donations. Vice 

Mayor Willhite said that Council had been asked not to fundraise especially from those people that 

Wellington does business with, but thought that they would still have the ability to fundraise from 

others outside of the community and also to submit for grants. He concurred with Councilman Coates 

that Council needs to make the decision whether Wellington will make a loan to itself from impact fees 

to fund the cost of the remainder of the project and to move forward. He thought there would be too 

many problems and concerns if they didn’t move forward noting that would result in additional cost to 

the Village because the contract had already been rewarded, prep work was started and subcontractors 

were hired. He said that he is a firefighter and is proud to be a public servant and has 

been to other places around the country to help and serve. He also noted that he wasn’t ashamed of 

what the blogs said; however, he was appalled at the comment made in the blogs that said the family 

members of those people who died in 9/11 who are now millionaires should put out the funds to build 

the memorial which he felt was a deeply disrespectful comment. Vice Mayor Willhite said that he 

supported the project as it was approved. 

Mayor pro tem Priore said that what has been difficult in sitting on Council over the years is making 

difficult decisions on items such as this one. He said that when Council makes those decisions, they 

have to be done with the belief that it was the best thing to do and they were making the right 

decision. Mayor pro tem Priore referenced the criticism that Council received when they first 

purchased the property that the Town Center presently sits on yet that turned out to be a very good 

decision. He noted many other projects that had been approved by Council that had incited 

controversy. Mayor pro tem Priore said that he was surprised at the controversy over this project 

because unlike the other projects, he felt this was a no brainer. He concurred with Councilman 

Coates and Vice Mayor Willhite that some of the blogging comments that were made were offensive. 

Mayor pro tem Priore said that he had thought the project might look good if it was scaled back and 

done in phases; however, he did not like the drawing of the scaled down version of the project. Mayor 

pro tem Priore thought if the community saw the scaled down version they might not want to be a part 

of it; however, he felt that they would be very supportive of this if the approved plan was built. He 

noted that over the years, many people purchased, bricks, flags etc. at the Veterans Memorial and he 

felt that people would do the same for the Patriot Memorial. He believed that Council should move 

forward with what was approved and he was willing to accept the responsibility for approving this. 

Mayor pro tem Priore said that his grandchildren live in the community and he hoped that in the future 

they would be very proud of the project that their grandfather participated in. He reiterated that he 

wanted Wellington to move forward with the project as it was designed. 

Councilwoman Gerwig recalled how she felt on 9/11 which she believed significantly changed her life 

as it did for everyone. She agreed that this was not only a New York City event as she no longer felt 

safe for a while after that and perhaps she may never feel as safe as she had before this event. She 

further stated that she did not think that this was an unworthy project as she believed it to be a 

significant one. Councilwoman Gerwig was of the opinion that they had lost sight of the fact that this 

was intended to be a Patriot Memorial for all patriots; however, the sign in front of the site now said 

9/11 Patriot Memorial. She said that the site was originally designed for only a small piece of steel on 

a podium; however, there were now actually three pieces of steel at the site. Councilwoman Gerwig 

said that when the design changed to accommodate the very large piece of steel, she thought the 

design should have been changed to match it. She said as the project progressed, she saw elements 

7


being added on to it. She said that she had a design issue with the site, but thought that to balance 

the steel, the pergola would be needed; however, she said that she did not see the harm in holding off 

on including the flame or the $100,000 fountain and adding that later. Councilwoman Gerwig thought 

it was inappropriate to show only two “before” and “after” drawings because she didn’t think that was 

what they came to discuss. She questioned the three pieces of steel, and suggested making the 

extra ones available to other communities who were not able to obtain any steel. She also questioned 

why they would have the glass walls with the names inscribed on them because she and didn’t see 

the relevance of having the names there. Councilwoman Gerwig stressed that this memorial was for 

everyone who was patriotic toward the country and felt it went off track and she did not know how they 

had moved to the different points. 

Mayor Bowen said that as they started the project everyone on Council was in agreement and he 

believed everyone on Council supported the project. He thought that the only change was that at 

some point, Council discovered that they did not have sufficient donations compared to what the cost 

was going to be. He said that he always felt that they would have to advance some money on the 

project as they wouldn’t get all the donations up front as they rarely ever do; however, he was not 

thinking that they would have to fund the project to such a large degree. Mayor Bowen thought that 

the project should be scaled back with additional elements being phased in as they received the 

money. He did not want to spend money until they had the clarity that they will be able to raise the 

funds. 

Councilman Coates said that the project was clearly intended to unite the community and he hoped 

that in the short run, it did not divide the community. He felt that the right thing was to move ahead 

with the project. 

A motion was made by Councilman Coates, seconded by Mayor pro tem Priore, and was 

passed (3-2) with Mayor Bowen and Councilwoman Gerwig dissenting to continue the Patriot 

Memorial project as currently planned with no changes at this point.

� Mayor pro tem Priore said that once the establishment of the ordinance concerning ethics and 

the Inspector General came about, the cities began asking many questions. He said that 

some people have interpreted those questions as an opportunity to attempt to undermine the 

purpose and benefits that would be achieved by the Inspector General and the Ethics 

Commission. Mayor pro tem Priore stressed that has never been the intent or purpose or the 

9


real meaning; however, the cities continue to be vilified as the enemy. He said having served 

as the President of the local League of Cities and President of the Florida League of Cities, 

cities purposes are for home rule. He further stated that any individual who wants to know 

what the criteria will be that they will be looked at or who wants to have a definition of what the 

criteria should be didn’t demean or in any way attempt to undermine the purpose, but they 

were merely asking the questions. Mayor pro tem Priore said that if asking the questions 

means that they are attempting to dismantle or dishonor or do away with the purpose of the 

ordinances that were being worked on is wrong. He felt that it needed to come to an end and 

everyone needed to come together and respect the ordinances that will be used to judge right 

and wrong which he knows that he and the Council will. Mayor pro tem Priore felt that the 

attempt to dismantle city government needed to stop. 

MAYOR BOWEN: Mayor Bowen presented the following report: 

� Mayor Bowen thanked the volunteers who give so much of their time to make the Village a 

better place. 

� He announced that he was headed to Tallahassee the next day to attend a Florida League of 

Mayors meeting. Mayor Bowen said that the gist of that meeting was how they could work 

with the Governor to create some jobs. He said that has been and continues to be one of his 

focuses. 



1. Richard Leandro, 1638 Oakberry Circle. Mr. Leandro spoke of the increase in his automobile 

insurance since he moved to Wellington from Titusville, and that his insurance company might 

not renew his policy because he was over 80. Mr. Leandro said that he was told that the 

reason for the higher insurance was because there are more undocumented and unlicensed 

people with no insurance in this area. He then addressed the excessive speeding in 

Wellington which he said he has never seen before in all of his years in volunteering with the 

Sheriff’s Department. Mr. Leandro thought that the Sheriff’s Department had to do a better job 

in enforcing the speed limit. He said if that wasn’t done, he suggested that an option for 

Wellington would be for it to have its own Police Department which he thought would result in 

a cost savings as well as more officers. 

2. Gregory Peal, 15855 Meadow Wood Drive. Mr. Peal said that he had been contacting the 

Code Compliance Manager for over one and one half years about lawn care companies doing 

business in Meadow Wood who were not removing their trash. He believed that there were 

hundreds of businesses in Wellington doing business that were not registered. Mr. Peal felt 

that they have to obey the laws and that Wellington should fine the people and the 

homeowners. He suggested that Wellington should follow the City of Atlantis and Highland 

Beach who have companies register and pay a fee. Mr. Peal said that he was tired of people 

coming to his house on the weekends soliciting to cut trees for $10 to $15. He thought 

everyone was paying for those businesses that dump their trash in front of homes. Mr. Peal 

said that he was not stopping with this and asked Council when they wanted him to come back 

so that he could learn what action had been taken with regard to this. 

Mayor Bowen advised Mr. Peal that someone from Wellington’s staff would be in touch with him. Mr. 

Peal asked Council again when they wanted him to come back. Councilwoman Gerwig said that she 

would want him to come back when the problem has not been addressed. Mr. Peal said that he 

10


wasn’t letting government slow him down or frustrate him and that he had plenty of time to work on 

this. 

Mr. Schofield asked Mr. Bonde to speak to Mr. Peal. 


There being no further business to come before Council, the meeting was adjourned at 8:00 p.m. 

Approved:

Procedures for Submitting Resolutions 

Florida League of Cities' 85th Annual Conference 

World Center Marriott 

Orlando, Florida 

August 11-13, 2011 

In order to fairly systematize the method for presenting resolutions to the League 

membership, the following procedures have been instituted: 

(1) Proposed resolutions must be submitted in writing, to be received in the League 

office by July 6, 2011, to guarantee that they will be included in the packet of proposed 

resolutions that will be submitted to the Resolutions Committee. 

(2) Proposed resolutions will be rewritten for proper form, duplicated by the League 

office and distributed to members of the Resolutions Committee. (Whenever possible, 

multiple resolutions on a similar issue will be rewritten to encompass the essential subject 

matter in a single resolution with a listing of original proposers.) 

(3) Proposed resolutions may be submitted directly to the Resolutions Committee at 

the conference; however, a favorable two-thirds vote of the committee will be necessary 

to consider such resolutions. 

(4) Proposed resolutions may be submitted directly to the business session of the 

conference without prior committee approval by a vote of two-thirds of the members 

present. In addition, a favorable weighted vote of a majority of members present will be 

required for adoption. 

(5) Proposed resolutions relating to state legislation will be referred to the appropriate 

standing policy committee. Such proposals will not be considered by the Resolutions 

Committee at the conference; however, all state legislative issues will be considered by 

the standing policy councils and the Legislative Committee, prior to the membership, at 

the annual Legislative Conference each fall. At that time, a state Legislative Action 

Agenda will be adopted. 

Municipalities unable to formally adopt a resolution before the deadline may submit a 

letter to the League office indicating their city is considering the adoption of a resolution, 

outlining the subject thereof in as much detail as possible, and this letter will be 

forwarded to the Resolutions Committee for consideration in anticipation of receipt of the 

formal resolution.

IV. SITE HISTORY 

The Iorizzo parcel was annexed into Wellington on September 9, 2003 by Ordinance No. 

2003-24. The Future Land Use designation of Community Commercial was adopted on 

June 28, 2005 by Ordinance No. 2005-06. The Rezoning (Ordinance No. 2007-01) and 

Master Plan (Resolution No. 2007-01) were both adopted on August 28, 2007. 

The 5.45 acre Iorizzo property is currently undeveloped. The agent Kimley-Horn and 

Associates, Inc., on behalf of the property owner/petitioner submitted a Comprehensive 

Plan Amendment (CPA) and Master Plan Amendment (MPA) application on December 

12, 2010 to change the approval to 20,000 square foot of medical office and a single 

8,800 square foot quality restaurant. 

V. DEVELOPMENT REVIEW COMMITTEE (DRC) 

The Comprehensive Plan Amendment (2003-017 CPA 2) and Master Plan Amendment 

(2003-017 MPA 2) applications were certified by the DRC on December 8, 2010 with 

conditions. 

VI. STAFF ANALYSIS 

The agent Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., on behalf of Michael Iorizzo, property 

owner, and Pepperjack LLC., applicant, is requesting a Master Plan Amendment to 

amend the use, square footage and building footprints. Both the previously approved 

Comprehensive Plan Amendment (Ordinance No. 2005-06) and Master Plan (Resolution 

No. 2007-01) have use and square footage conditions. The previously approved uses 

and square footages listed as conditions on the Comprehensive Plan are not consistent 

with the current Master Plan. This Master Plan Amendment will update and accurately 

reflect both approvals. 

The petitioner is requesting the Master Plan Amendment to change the approved Master 

Plan from 16,750 square feet of medical office, 4,500 square feet of quality restaurant 

and 1,500 square feet of fast food restaurant to a proposed 20,000 square feet medical 

office building and one 8,800 square feet quality restaurant building. This will be an 

increase from the approved master plan of 3,250 square feet for medical office and 4,300 

square feet for the quality restaurant. The petitioner is not requesting to increase the 

number of approved buildings only to change the uses, square footage and building 

footprints. The medical office building will be change from a one story to a two story 

Page 2 of 15


(western) building per the proposed Master Plan (Exhibit “C”) which also indicates the 

enlarged (eastern) footprint for the proposed Cheddars Casual Café Master quality 

restaurant. The previously approved Master Plan (Exhibit “D”) has been included for 

comparative purposes of these two building footprints. 

With the increase in square footage this site will remain consistent with Wellington’s 

Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Regulations (LDR). The site will remain as 

previously approved with only changes to the building footprint and site data. All 

applicable building heights, setbacks and parking requirements are consistent with the 

LDR. Access to the site is from the adjacent property to the south (Wellington Reserve 

Office Park) as recorded in the cross access agreement (O.R.B. 103, P. 178-180). 

The Palm Beach County Traffic Division has reviewed the traffic study submitted for the 

proposed change in use and square footages for the Iorizzo property. Exhibit “E” is the 

Palm Beach County Traffic Division approval letter with conditions. The traffic statement 

was also reviewed and accepted by Wellington’s Traffic Consultant for compliance with 

Traffic Performance Standards (TPS). Exhibit “F” is the Traffic Consultant letter with six 

(6) recommended conditions of approval which have been incorporated into the staff 

Conditions 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18. 

VII. PUBLIC NOTIFICATION / COMMENTS 

As required by the Land Development Regulations and Florida Statutes, public 

notifications were placed in the Palm Beach Post, mailings were set to property owners 

within 500 feet and the property was posted. All notices advised to the public that a public 

hearing on the proposed ordinance/resolution would take place. The dates of notices are
