2. Ocean Ridge Resolution No. 2001-6; Authorize Execution of a Lease Agreement Between the Town and Palm Beach County for a Mangrove Restoration Project Within a Portion of a Town of Ocean Ridge Tract Situated at the Western Terminus of Corrine Street By: Gregory L. Dunham, Town Manager

Comm Bridges moved to approve Resolution 2001-6 for discussion purposes, seconded by Comm Aaskov.

Comm Bridges questioned whether the agreement included language that would provide an area to be retained for possible mitigation for Hudson Ave. involving the drainage problems there. Comm Bingham stated that she did not feel that this should be a portion of the agreement. Mayor Kaleel stated that he was not sure if this would be an issue with the County and asked Atty Spillias to revise or add a provision that would include appropriate language to this effect. Town Manager Dunham stated that he would need to investigate whether the proposed project was utilizing all the town owned land. Mayor Kaleel again stated that he did not feel this was a major issue.

Comm Willens suggested amending the motion to approve the lease agreement contingent upon adding a new section. Atty Spillias suggested deferring this item so that the staff may approach the county.

Comm Bridges withdrew his motion and Comm Aaskov withdrew her second. The Commission concurred to defer this item until the April 2, 2001 meeting.

3. Discuss Town Party/BBQ Celebration

Mayor Kaleel clarified that the commissioners and staff had received a copy of the letter to him from Lake Clarke Shores. Town Manager Dunham stated that he had spoken to the Town Manager and she advised that they just held their 9^th annual picnic and they serve approximately 1,000 residents. He added that he was advised that it is an incredible undertaking. He stated that he thought that due to the time constraints of the proposed event occurring in April/May, the staff has been investigating different catering companies. Town Clerk Hancsak advised that the total event, including entertainment, could be accomplished for less than $6,000. She stated that this was a high end price because the estimate included 4 hours of food, and 4 different types of entertainment. She added that the staff was still waiting for more estimates.

After some discussion the Commission concurred that they felt the event should not be catered but handled totally by the town and because of the planning it was decided that the BBQ would take place around October.

On an unrelated issued, Mayor Kaleel suggested that each Commissioner make a list of five priorities that could possibly occur within a year and also five priorities that could occur within five years. He stated that he would then like to schedule a workshop to discuss this new 5 on 5 project.

The meeting was adjourned at approximately 9:15 A.M.
