Palm Beach County 9835-16 Lake Worth Road Suite 223 Intergovernmental Coordination Lake Worth, FL 33467 Program - Clearinghouse (561) 434-2575/ Fax (561) 434-4513 To: Members of the Intergovernmental Coordination Executive Committee From: Anna Yeskey, Clearinghouse Date: August 22, 2024 Subject: Meeting Minutes, August 12, 2024 CALL MEETING TO ORDER A meeting of the Intergovernmental Coordination Executive Committee was held August 12, 2024, at the Village Hall of Palm Springs and was called to order at 3:03 pm. Members Present: Michael Barnett, Kim Glas-Castro, Jeff Hmara, Lawrence Gordon, Karen Brill, and Chelsea Reed. Others Present: Max Lohman (Palm Beach Gardens) Patrick, JoAnne Keller and Laura Hanley (Palm Beach County) and Anna Yeskey. Approval of the Minutes: The minutes from the meeting held February 20, 2024 meeting were approved. Comments by the Chair: None. Presentations/Reports: Issues Forum - Overview and History – Anna Yeskey provided an overview and history of the Intergovernmental Coordination Program and the various issues that have been addressed over the past 30 years. She explained that growth management legislation has changed some of the terminology and technology has changed process but the intent of the two interlocal agreements has remained. Kim Glas- Castro discussed some of those changes away from DCA but that the fact-finding process still serves its purpose as does the Issues Forum. Jeff Hmara discussed the value of this process because it is not the League (which lobbies on behalf of cities) or TPA (which has no land use responsibility) or RPC (with other ongoing responsibilities) but a mechanism to build consensus among elected officials. There is a need for a countywide transportation master plan, and this is an opportunity to work together. Transportation affects everyone but the benefit must be visible to everyone as well. Michael Barnett mentioned the 1 cent sales tax that is being sunset. There was group discussion about cities wanting a seat at the table in this process – an equal voice and the level of trust between county and cities. Also important is that the county has no oversight of development in the cities approval process. Patrick Rutter discussed the recent efforts related to developing a master transportation plan which was a direction provided to staff by the BCC. PBCCMA has been involved and the BCC is looking for an RFP in September. Transportation funding options will not be part of the current process. Kim Glas-Castro then presented the group with a proposal that would use the Intergovernmental Coordination using the Executive Committee as oversight on a contract with a consultant with a member government serving as staff for the contract and funding and a beefed-up version of IPARC with additional members (public works, IT, engineers as well as Tri-Rail, Port, TPA, and FDOT) providing technical support. The consultant needs to be someone no one has worked with. There was a comment about the School Board having a large impact on transportation and needing to be involved. Chelsea Reed stated that although TPA is not the group to handle this as it is designed as a funding pass thru they have the maps. She also stated this is really about the residents. A subgroup of PBCCMA is developing a resolution for each local government to sign on as well as an draft RFP for input. Administrative Matters: None Old Business/ New Business/ Comments from Members/Future Agenda Items: Next meeting will be held September 11, 2024 at 3 p.m. Palm Springs to further discuss. The meeting was adjourned at 4:19 pm
