Re: Structural Evaluation of Carver Estates
Attached are summary pages and excerpts from the reports which have been done on the
structural condition of the buildings at Carver Estates. I only included the detailed pages for
one building, but all the buildings have similar problems. The complete reports are available
in my office or the City Clerk's office should you wish to review them.
The Housing Authority Board and their Director will attend the Work Session tomorrow night
to discuss with the Commission what course of action should be taken concerning the future
of these apartment buildings.

Subject: Carver Estates, DBHA/City Commission Joint Mtg.
Mr. Harden
You asked me to get back to you on what we thought the agenda should be
for the planned joint workshop meeting. I believe the main topic should
be a presentation of the issues for City Commissioner's information,
including the actual engineer's recommendation and the funding needs of
the OSHA.
Because we will need to present a united local front to Congress for any
possible federal dollars, I have invited Alcee Hasting's staff and Addie
Green (County Commission) to attend the meeting as well. I'm waiting to
hear from Ms. Green's staff on her availability, but I spoke with her
directly and she wants to come, but wasn't sure of her schedule. Lewis
Goldberg from Hasting's office will be there. The Engineer will also be
there to answer Commissioner's questions if necessary.
Please let me know what I need to provide up front. We expect to get
the final report tomorrow (5/6/04) . I will provide you with a bound
copy. We only ordered 15 copies. We will need to reserve a few for
submission with our federal applications. If you need more let me know
how many.
Thanks,
Dorothy E.

.., Pursuant to your request, we have performed the additional engineering services required to provide a
'"
"' professional opinion on the estimated cost for replacement I renovation of the items identified in the
'III Condition Assessment Report, dated February 29. 2004. for the properties on the Carver Estates Housing
-
'" Complex located in Delray Beach. Florida. An estimated replacement versus renovation analysis cost was

'"
-
'" Recommendation
~ When making the decision to rehabilitate. consideration should be given to both the maintainability
..,
~ and marketability of the final product. At the same time, when the 30 year structure was designed and
'" constructed. little attention was given to unit layouts. landscaping, energy efficiency. interior lighting
~
'" and other amenities that are common and expected in teday's current market.
~
'" The analysis of rehabilitation vs. new must take into account the value of the base structure, The 30
'"
.., year old base structure does not have sufficient residual core value to warrant reuse or extensive
#
.., rehabilitation.
'"
.., It is the professional opinion of this office that the Carver Estates Housing Complex, Buildings
'"
'" A-S, with the exception of Building C, are strong candidates for demolition and replacement.
~
'" The demolition and replacement alternate would provide the most functionality, utility, quality,
'"
'" energy efficiency, lowest maintenance cost and long term value to the Housing Authority, its
'" residents and community.

"'I

,
"I Much of the answer to this question is dependent upon the specific location, condition, and

"I
.-
"I Historically, in many marketplaces, substantial rehabilitation is only undertaken for special

Buildina Code Reauirements. Chapter 34 - 2001 Florida Buildina Code
The analysis of rehabilitation vs. new must take into account the value of the 30 year old
base structure. The existing buildings structure does not meet the current hurricane structural
requirements of the Florida Building Code. Chapter 34 of the F10rida BuUding Code states
if the value of the repairs or renovations exceed 50% of the value of the existing
building then the existing structure must be brought into compliance with the current
Florida Building Code or be entirely demolished if the repairs I renovations are
conducted within a 12 month period. Please note that in our professional opinion, the
structural components were not completely constructed in accordance with the building code
in effect at the time of construction and therefore do not qualify for the exception provisions of
chapter 34.
,
,
, Based on our analysis, the following buildings would have to be brought into full compliance
, with the Florida Building Code, based on the 50% provision.
,
,
, Buildings A, B, D, L, M, N, P, Q, R & S.
;
~
;
, Buildings C, E, F, G, H, J & K are not required to be brought into full compliance with the
, current building code standards but it is strongly recommended to upgrade these buildings to
the current Building Code requirements.
,
, Historically budget overruns of up to 30-40% are common when undertaking major
, renovations; a 20% amount was included in the estimated renovation costs. The cost of new
construction, was based on a cost of $85.00 per square foot. The $85.00 per square foot was
, derived from a study conducted by ABT Associates for HUD in 1994 and adjusted for inflation
, and local area costs to obtain a 2004 value of $85.00 per square foot.

DISCOVERY
FIRE CODE AND BUILDING CODE INQUIRIES:
Fire Code Inquiry
We contacted the City of Delray Beach Fire Department to learn of any outstanding issues or
violations that may exist on the Carver Estates complex. At that time we were told that, "to
the best of their knowledge there are no unresolved violations or issues on the subject
property" .
Building Code Inquiry
We contacted the City of Delray Beach Building Department to learn of any outstanding
issues or violations that may exist on the complex. At that time we were told that, "to the best
of their knowledge there are no unresolved violations or issues on the subject property". The
governing Building Code is the current 2001 Florida Building Code. The Building Code used
at the time of construction was the Standard Building Code.
City Engineer Inquiry
We contacted the City of Delray Beach Engineering Department in order to determine which
entity owns the site utilities and who is responsible for its care. We were told that the Storm
Sewer System is owned and maintained by the City of Delray Beach. The potable water
distribution system mains and the sanitary sewer system trunk lines are owned and
maintained by the City of Delray Beach. All lateral lines and building connections are owned
and maintained by the Housing Authority. Subsequent to our inspection, it is our
recommendation that the services of an engineering/site utility contractor be utilized to
conduct a visual and photometric examination, of accessible portions of the underground
storm sewer system. It is our understanding that an examination would reveal any significant
deficiencies in the project storm sewer system.

As Brahm discussed with you earlier today:
In addition to your earlier conversation, in regard to program participation we think that
2,600 would be a better performance measure. This year due to transportation problems the
City's Parks and Rec program is sending only 3 sessions per week in comparison to the 6
sessions per week that were sent last year accounting for approximately 300 participants.
In addition, due to being closed last summer the Atlantic High School golf team went to
another facility accounting for approximately 140 participants.
3,040 last year
-300 Parks & Rec
-140 Atlantic High School
2,600 Total
We count all participants in golf course sponsored programs not just youth.
Please let me know if you need anything else.

MEMORANDUM CITY MANAGER
TO: City Manager David T. Harden
FROM: Chief Joseph L. Schroeder
DATE: April 8, 2004
SUBJECT: GOLF CART USAGE ON PUBLIC ROADWAYS
The Police Department, through the efforts of Sergeant Brady Myers, has researched
the issue of allowing golf carts to travel on city roadways. This thorough research effort
clearly suggests that it would not be in the best interest of the City of Oelray Beach to
allow golf carts access to city streets. The Police Department would recommend
against suggesting an allowance.
There are simply too many irresolvable issues when you allow golf carts to drive on city
streets. Why would we say it is okay for a 14 year old unlicensed youth to drive without
a seat belt in a plastic vehicle alongside with licensed persons driving 2,000 pound steel
cars, SUV's and trucks? Since state law does not allow us to put restrictions on their
use, such as seat belts, drivers must be licensed etc., once approved, we lose control
and risk endangering both the golf cart users and the rest of the motoring public. We
cannot be compared to the City of Cedar Key, which is the size of DelAire, when it
comes to the use of golf carts on public roadways. This is simply not a good idea from
the safety standpoint.
If you have any questions, please let me know. A copy of the research is included with
this memo.

DELRA Y BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT
MEMORANDUM
TO: Captain C. Hartmann
District One Commander
FROM: Sgt. Brady Mye~
District One Alpha Day Shift Supervisor
DATE: April 6, 2004
Re: GOLF CART ON CITY STREETS USAGE FESmILTY STUDY
Writer conducted research on the feasibility of unlicensed non street legal golf carts on
city streets. Florida State Statute 316.212 generally prohibits this unless the city meets
several standards. The city must determine that it would be safe to allow these motor
vehicles in the first place on city and county streets. State roads are never allowed for this
type of motor vehicle. The city must conduct speed and volume studies prior to allowing
these non street legal carts on the city streets. The carts are prohibited from sunset to
sunrise unless the city deems it is safe to operate after dark and the vehicles are equipped
for this purpose. The city must post signs to show carts are allowed on these designated
streets.
Further, if the city was to allow these non street legal carts on the city streets they are not
allowed to require anymore regulation than the state statute. This is the ruling of Attorney
General Charles Crist (see attached ruling). His opinion is the city, Cedar Key, could not
require persons to be 16 and over. The state allows 14 year old persons to operate such
carts. The city could not require seat belts even if it is for safety. The city could not
require permits or even insurance. At present home owner insurance covers only the
operation to a golf course from the insured residence. (City of Atlantis supplied
information see attached) The city could not require mandatory inspections to determine
if the vehicles had the required equipment. Street legal vehicles are certified from the
manufacturer as having the required safety equipment, there is no such requirement for
Golf Carts whose intended purpose is operate during the daylight on a golf course.
Attorney General Crist legal opinion states that Cedar Key is in conflict with state statute.
Further, as stated above the City of Cedar Key has an ordinance allowing for such
operation. The city of Cedar Key is a resort community with a population of 1,000
residents. The city has a state road leading into the community. There is only one
entrance to the city. It is similar to a gated community with its set up without the gates.
Writer first made contact with a Thomas Duggan of Golf Carts, Inc. (352)543-5300. Mr.
" .
Duggan was involved in writing the city ordinance for allowing non street legal golf carts
in Cedar Key. Mr. Duggan is familiar with the city of Del ray Beach. Mr. Duggan would
not recommend this program for our city. "It would be dangerous". Mr. Duggan is in the
business of renting such vehicles and he would not recommend this for the City of Del ray
Beach. Mr. Dugan referred writer to City Clerk Francis Hodges for a copy of the
ordinance. City Clerk Hodges was contacted (352)543-5132. Hodges asked why we
would even consider such a program. They have tried to repeal the ordinance without
success. She stated it has gone too far. In a city of 1000 persons they have over 200
private carts and 30 plus rental units. The city in her opinion has had a lot of issues with
the carts. Hodges stated a city of our size should not even be considered for such a
program. The only other city that she knew of that allowed for such operation was Lady
Lake. That city is even smaller than Cedar Key. City Clerk Hodges faxed a copy of the
ordinance. Her face sheet is enclosed with this memo. It states "I will advise you NOT to
start this venture." It will lead to many problems when once started cannot be stopped."
Further, the city of Atlantis was contacted due the similarity with Cedar Key. They do not
allow for golf carts expect to the golf course and back to the resident's home. (See
attached information flyer) It also states that insurance only covers from the home to the
golf course)
Further, other states were checked for regulation. It was learned that Georgia, more.
specifically the community of Peach Tree, also regulates to and from the golf course
along with the State Of Arkansas. (See attached)
Further, the City of San Diego has created a Golf Cart Zone. It allows for golf cart only
within a mile radius of the Rancho Penasquitos Golf Courses. Thus allowing persons to
travel from home to the golf course.
SUMMARY
Cedar Key has an ordinance allowing for such operation. The cities are not comparable in
size or in any manner. Both the commercial community and the government sector of this
community would not recommend this proposal for the City of Delray Beach. In fact,
they were both adamant about it being a dangerous mix. The city of Cedar Key ordinance
has been attempted to be repealed because of safety concerns. As stated by City Clerk
Hodges, "once it gets started it can not be stopped". Their ordinance has been questioned
by Attorney General Crist. The ordinance they have conflicts with state statute such as
seat belts, insurance, inspections and age restrictions. Per the attorney general, you can
not make the requirements stricter than the state statute. Some questions to ponder. Who
would make sure these vehicles had the proper safety equipment? The city cannot require
inspections. Would the home owner's policy cover accidents if the cart is not being used
for its intended purpose? Should an unlicensed 14 year old be able to operate a motor
vehicle on the city streets?
RECOMMENDATION
If persons want to use golf cart style vehicles on city streets for what ever reason, i.e.
environment, open air, saving on parking spaces and noise pollution there is a low speed
\. .
vehicle alternative. Florida State Statute allows for such STREET LEGAL VEHICLES
to operate on all road ways with a speed limit not exceeding 35 mph. These vehicles are
licensed, insured and certified from the manufacturer for street use unlike the traditional
golf cart. Autobahn Motors in Delray Beach sells such vehicles for 6,995.00. The city of
Celebration in Central Florida has special parking spots for these types of environment
friendly vehicles. Persons must be licensed to operate these vehicles on the city streets.

Advisory Legal Opinion - Municipalities, operation ot golt carts rage :l or 0
Due to the interrelation of the issues you have
raised and the requirements set forth in section
316.212, Florida Statutes, your questions will be
answered together.
The City of Cedar Key has historically allowed
golf carts[l] to operate on city streets, with
certain age and other restrictions. The city
recognizes, however, that section 316.212, Florida
Statutes, regulates the operation of golf carts
and may impact the city's ability to impose local
regulations. [2] You state that the city benefits
fram the use of golf carts on its streets and
would like to continue their use with additional
regulations to promote public safety.
Chapter 316, Florida Statutes, Florida's Unifor.m
Traffic Control Law, makes unifor.m traffic laws
applicable throughout the state and its counties
and unifor.m traffic ordinances applicable in all
municipalities. [3] While the chapter was enacted
to eliminate the "hodgepodge of ordinances which
vary as to language and penal ty , II [4] there are
instances where the Legislature has recognized
that municipalities may control traffic movement
or parking. [5] The statute provides, however, that
"[i]t is unlawful for any local authority to pass
or to attempt to enforce any ordinance in conflict
with the provisions of this chapter. II [6] This
office has previously concluded that absent
express authorization under the Unifor.m Traffic
Control Law, Chapter 316, Florida Statutes,
operates to prohibit any local legislation on
traffic control or enforcement. [7]
Section 316.212, Florida statutes, in pertinent
part, provides:
"The operation of a golf cart upon the public
roads or streets of this state is prohibited
except as provided herein:
(1) A golf cart may be operated only upon a county
road that has been designated by a county, or a
city street that has been designated by a city,
for use by golf carts. Prior to making such a
designation, the responsible local governmental
entity must first determine that golf carts may
safely travel on or cross the public road or
street, considering factors including the speed,
volume, and character of motor vehicle traffic
using the road or street. Upon a deter.mination
that golf carts may be safely operated on a
designated road or street, the responsible
governmental entity shall post appropriate signs
to indicate that such operation is allowed.
. . .
(4) A golf cart may be operated only during the
http://myfloridalegal.com/ago.nsf/0176992ed3 527ebef485256dfe0061 b805?OpenDocument 4/6/2004
Advisory Legal Opinion - Municipalities, operation of golf carts Page j ot 0
hours between sunrise and sunset I unl.ess the
responsible governmental entity has dete~ned
that a golf cart may be operated during the hours
between sunset and sunrise and the golf cart is
equipped with headlights, brake lights, turn
signals, and a windshield.
(5) A golf cart must be equipped with efficient
brakes, reliable steering apparatus, safe tires, a
rearview mirror, and red reflectorized warning
devices in both the front and rear.
(6) A golf cart may not be operated on public
roads or streets by any person under the age of
14.
(7) A violation of this section is a noncr~nal
traffi.c i.nfraction, punishable pursuant to chapter
318 as either a moving violation for infractions
of subsection (1) , subsection (2) , subsection (3) ,
or subsection (4) , or as a nonmoving violation for
infractions of subsections (5) and (6) ."
Thus, the statute enumerates the safety equipment
and other restrictions, such as the age of the
operator, that may be applied to golf carts. It
also recognizes that a local. government may make a
dete~nation that golf carts may be operated
during the hours between sunset and sunrise if the
cart is equipped with headlights, brake lights,
turn signals, and a windshield. Otherwise, basic
equipment required for all golf carts is efficient
brakes, a reliable steering apparatus, safe tires,
a rearview mirror, and red reflectorized warning
devices in both the front and rear. Where the
Legislature has prescribed the manner in which
something is to done, it operates as a prohibition
against its being done in any other way. [9] Thus,
the city is precluded fram requiring additional
safety equipment or imposing more restrictive
operational requirements for golf carts operating
within its jurisdiction.
In a previous opinion of this office, it was
concluded that a municipality has no authority to
~ose more restrictive age or licensure
requirements for the operation of golf carts than
those ~osed in section 316.212, Florida
statutes. [9] The rationale of this opinion would
apply equally to any additional restrictions
~osed by a municipality, such as requiring a
licensed adult to accompany operators under the
age of 16 or requiring that golf carts be equipped
with seat belts. [10]
Moreover, a mandatory local inspection program to
ensure compliance with the equipment requirements
enumerated in section 316.212, Florida Statutes,
would appear to exceed the specific provisions of
subsection (7) for enforcement of golf cart
operation and equipment, making noncompliance a
noncr~na1 traffic infraction punishable under
Chapter 318, Florida Statutes. There is no
apparent obstacle to the city offering a voluntary

Advisory Legal Opinion - Municipalities, operation of gOIt" carts page 4 or 0
inspection and registration program as a service
to those persons operating golf carts within the
city's boundaries.
Section 316.008, Florida statutes, enumerates the
powers that may be exercised by local governments
relating to streets and highways within their
jurisdictions. Relative to your inquiry, a
municipality may restrict the use of streets,
prohibit or regulate the use of controlled access
roadways by any class or kind of vehicle, and
prohibit or regulate the use of heavily traveled
streets by any class or kind of traffic determined
to be incompatible with the nonnal and safe
movement of traffic. [11] None of these authorized
areas would appear to allow a municipality to
enact an ordinance requiring additional safety
equipment on golf carts or restricting the
operation of golf carts by persons under the age
of 16 to those occasions when they are accampanded
by a licensed driver.
Section 316.006(2), Florida Statutes, states that
"[c]hartered municipalities shall have original
jurisdiction over al~ streets and highways located
wi thin their boundaries I except state roads .
.. (e.s.) Counties, however, possess original
jurisdiction over "ul streets and highways
located within their boundaries except a~l state
roads and those streets and highways specified in
subsection (2) ." [12] (e.s.) The plain
language of the statute allows municipalities to
enforce the uni.fonn traffic laws of Chapter 316,
Florida Statutes, on county roads located within
their jurisdictions. [13] It would appear,
therefore, that municipa.l.ities have been granted
the authority to designate roads within their
jurisdictions, except state roads, upon which golf
carts may operate.
Accordingly, it is my opinion that, while the City
of Cedar Key may provide a voluntary inspection
and registration program for golf carts operating
within its jurisdiction, it may not require that
all golf carts operated on its streets undergo
annual registration and safety inspections and
display a decal providing verification of such
registration and inspection. Nor may the city
impose additional safety standards or operator
qualifications on golf carts beyond those
prescr~d in section 316.212, Florida statutes.
The city, however, has original jurisdiction over
all streets other than state roads located within
its boundaries and may authorize the operation of
golf carts on county roads located within the city
without the county's approval.
Sincerely,

sporting or recreational purposes and that is not
capable of exceeding speeds of 20 miles per hour. It

Opinion 2003-44, in which it was concluded that
motorized scooters, while not "motor vehicles" for
pU%poses of Ch. 316, Fla. Stat., and not eligible
for registration under s. 320.02, Fla. Stat. I are
vehicles for purposes of excluding them fram
operation on sidewalks and Ilmotor vehicles" for
pU%poses of Ch. 322, Fla. Stat., requiring a
license for the individual operator. As noted in
the opinion, the Legislature may wish to clarify
the inconsistent treabment of motorized scooters
under the motor vehicle laws. unlike motorized
scooters, however, the Legislature has authorized
the operation of golf carts on the public roads of
this state under specific conditions. See, a~so,
s. 316.2068, Fla. stat., authorizing the operation
of an nelectric personal assistive mobility
device" on roads with a posted speed limit of 25
miles per hour or less, without need for a

City of Cedar Key, City Meeting March 21, 2002 i
Golf Cart issue. CommissIOner Sills has queslions especially aboUlliability. :
consiJering 14 yr. olds can dri,'e carts. City Attorney Coffey Erst reported on whcther thc !
City may placc a binding relerendum on Ihc ballot. The answer is no because il is in effe<:t I
repealing an ordinance. Rorida law does not allo\\ ordinances to be either adopted or i
repealed by rclercndum. Also Cily Charter docs not pronde for this. The second question -I
Clluld" non-bloolng slraw YOle be on thc ballot~ That is possible under the City's Home i
Rule JXO\\crs . Ther" is nothing in the Rorida sututcs or the Cily ChlU1er to tell the I
CommISsion how tu do it. and they would need to work out their proces.s 10 get it done. :
Commissioner Hibb.LS asked if this mC:lns that the golf cart question is solely the decision I
of the commission and Attorney Coffey confirmed this. Commissioner Sills rcne\\ed tile I
factth"t In determining Ihe uses of Ihe Marina a great deal of time and money was spent on !
the ,ssue. He e\plained that before this is done on the golf can question it is important 10 !
know how the residents feel about this. He felt a. duty to tl'} 10 remm'e the city's liability. i
. . I
I
Commissioner Hibbits menlioned Ihat sinL'C they haye an ordinance requiring insur.mce on !
the golf can.s. might this be an enforcement problem mthcr than a legislation problem? The!
Mayor called the Chief to respond. Chief Swogger explained that a golf cart is a \'ehide !
responsible for following the same rules as a car with additional rules relating only to golf !
carts (no dm'ing at night for instance). It is like a bicycle on the road. If a child goes !
,
through a SLOp sign. the City IS responsible for the sign warning him to stop. not what ,
,
,
individuals do. The Chief's concern is proof of agc for a 14 year old since they du not j
hlJ.\'e a dri, er's license. How to enfofi.'C the agc withoul proof? He considers that Rorida !
law created the problem since they hayc set the age al 14. There is a problem of !
enforcement. !
i
I
tvlr. James raised his concern about young dri\'ers - e:m they be tJcketcd for \'iolations" !
The ChIef responded that yes they can. Eyen bicycles can be cited for failing to SlOp aL a ;
I
,
SLOp sign. !
i
,
,
!Iobyor Du,'is introduced Mr. Tom whom the Mayor designated as the head of the Citilcns !
Advisory on this isslle. But first Mr. Maurice asked when the sute law was enlK,ted and i
was it for cay streets rather than a golf course? Altorney Coney thought Ihallt passed IWo
years ago and applies to carts when local goyemment authoriles their use on city streets.
Jeff Dwyer mised the isslle of sute and county roads mixed into the city. Is the cily
responSible for aIllhree kinds of roads and does the insurance co"er all of that? The Chief
responded that there is a long standing cooperatil)n WI th the sheriff. It is understood that
Cedar Key Police take care of the area around Cedar Key due to their response time and the,
County In turn helps Cedar Key out and also makes arrests. AccordlOg 10 slatute the Chid]
belie\es that it would be up to the county to :wthori/e golf calt u:lYcl on county roads. .
Commissioner Sills faxed a requesl for information to the County. They responded that he
would ha' e to be put on the agenda of the next commissioner meeting to dISCUSS his
questions. Reached by phone Me. Beauchamps expressed that the County would be likely
to go along with whaleyer the city wanLed.
\lr. Tom "sked the Chief to read the regulations on his contra.:t and are the same as those
unanimously adopted by the City in 1999 except for one rule. Mr. Torn did nOI acccptthe
CIl) requirementlhat driyers be 18 )T. old. He limits his contract [0 those 21 and older.
No\\' there arc three sets of rules - each business being llblc sct their own c"ntmct aas "ell
"-5 each reSident who ,-,wns a carL Sees thIS as a conflict of rules. The stalC of cOllrse
slIperseJed aJllocal regulations. Since he cannol change state law he belle\'Cs tillS is a
m:lU~r of enforcement of the current nlles.
04/06/2004 09:59 FAA a52543556U ""VI
The Chlcr reat.lthe rules on Mr. Tom's contract. Since insurancc is reqUired to be proyidcd
by the owncr ~vtr. Tom behcycs that the City's responslbillt)' IS minimal with regard to
liabilay. The city is no more rcsponslhle for a carl accident th<U1 thcyare If a truck cmshcs
mto another ,chide. It is a matter for the owncr's insur..mce. He conSIders that the I\orry
about ellY habihty IS mtXlt.
Att()rney Colley agreed thattbc question of the City's liability is mimmal. Once the CilY
determmed that it IS sa!'e to run carts on the street, which it did before allowing them. then
aJlowing the carts docs not create liClbility. He charactcnl.ed Commissioner Sills worry :IS
one for the scu'et\. of those usin~ the carts. The SUle Ial\' docs not interferc with businesses
scltll1g a higher ag.e limit. -
CommiSSioner Sills broughl up a coneern thai there IS no way to knol\' if somcone has
comphet.l and has mSurance. Docs Ihat mean that cycn If there is an uninsured cart thc City
is nOlliable. AHomey Coffey answcred that he is right, the Cily is nol obligatct.l to lake
action. Howe'.er il the police stops someone and disco'.ers that they do not haye insur,lOce
then It must be enforced. (fit is not enforced as violations are discovered, then thcre is
some nsk of e\p<.Jsure.
Mr. Tom reiterated thatlcgislation is nO! required, If the city requires proof of Insurance
anu of required S<lfety features it could be handled that way. To consider banning carts as a
solution would be political suic'idc, He requested that Ihe City fonn a committee to aLldress
the msur,mce and equipment aspect of enforcement.
The ~'layor asked the Police Chief if any tickets bave been written on golf carts'! Not to
Chief Swagger's knowledge. The ChicI' expected that the ticket could be written just a.s he
docs for cars, simply noting that it W:15 a cart that was involved. He believes that it would
hold up in ('our!. The Mayor thanked Mr. Tom for his work. The City was looking for
~itizen input. Perhaps regislmtion will be posSible with a sticker to show compliance.
Commissioncr Daniel asked how they can get the county to come in to the Cedar Key
c(xles? Mr. Nolan who is a former police Chief slated that any federal, sl:Jte or county road
that goes into a cIty is the venue of the city, including SR 24, unless a road is specifically
c\empted,
Thc Mayor addressed Mr. Tom that hIS business should enforce the ndes With lax parents
anu takc the kcy away. Howev'er it is a practical malter that Ivlr. Tom in his electric chan
~,,"nOI do, so he believes it should be a poli~e matter. The Chief responded that he can
only stop and cite them if they brC".dk traffic or ~riminallaw but not dyjl rules and
rcgubtio.ts. He cannot take the keys but can ticket them.
Mr. Tom would like to see an effort bY' the Citv to m(idifv the state law. Attorney ColIel
confirnlcd that the only way to change the law'is to go bCfore the legislature to change ii.
Attorney Coffey identifies one problem area under the current laws. He e'\pbined thatlhc
city has Jurisdiction to enforce the traffic laws. Howe'.er the laws dtlTer from counry, SUlC
and cily. County law forbIds golf C:J.1'l use and appro'\imatcly g()<1c of the city strcets arc
('oullty strcets. ~4 is a slate road. The county and the sUte could authonl.c can use but they
ha\.e not. If the city is to continue to ill")w carts all o,'cr the city then It \\ould make sense
to \\nrk with the county and stalc 10 clarify the law.
A 4uesuon was asked about how prlwe the age of a dn\er. The Chief docs not understand
\\ hy the law IS set up this way bec'ause it IS hard to pnwe. A citizen suggested that when
anyone not old enough 10 hm"c a licen~ is Slopped they be pulled ewer and sent home to
produce '\OITIC proof of age.

A du/.en asked if this job of enforcemenl really everyone'sjob. For ins!:.mee if reckless '
bchanor IS noli~ed a call could be made to Tom, He has numbered each of the carts for '
C'-l.S) uJcnl,fication. Connie eould come OUt and handlc the matter. The police need ne,t be
m,,,"'ed ,n handling children. Another citi/.cn added that he \I as stopped by the police
\\ hen hc Ict his 13 vcar old niece and that was enough to correct the situation without I
gl\ing him a lIcket: That can be done by any ,l us not Just the police. Chief Swogger said I
tbat he encounters parents that lie about what is going on. He joked Ih:>t getting Iie<..lto is a I
great part of this job! .
Another rcsldent commcntw that he thinks a referendum could be ,'en: divisi,e since it is a
cityeommission problem and decision. He went on to say Ihat he thought the residents
\\ '101 to heoll a strong endoNement of cart use. They are safe. dean, efficient and an
important commerei:>1 interest. We are askmg wrection from the commission. He hoped
the council and eitiLens would come to an agreement thaI would continue their use.
Commissioner Sills responde<..lthat il would be easy to willk away from this bul he fell it I
needed to be addressed. '
,
,
A citi/.en asked how Ihls issue wenl from a eompl:tint al an earlier meeting about carts a5 a i
tramc nuisance to po6sibly being banncd. Bob Davenport commented that he remembered
that banning carts was mentioned by Commissioner Sills. On the other issue. He
personally gOI Insur.mce very easily by a phone call at low cost ($15). CommISSIoner Sills i
"eknowledged thaI he docs consider them :m annoyance and would like to see them off Ihe '
moos. but he also saw other more serious queslions and IS willing to put his personal
feclmg' aside.

DISCUSSION REGARDING PROPOSED BOUNDARIES FOR ATLANTIC
HIGH SCHOOL AND GENERAL COMMISSION DIRECTION ON OTHER
SCHOOL ISSUES
-
Discussion Regarding Boundaries:
The Advisory Boundary Committee (ABC) for Palm Beach County School District is currently
discussing the boundaries for Atlantic High School which is to be opened in 2005. The ABC
reviewed many boundary proposals for Atlantic High School last year and it became so difficult
that the ABC tabled its decision on Atlantic High School until this year and focused its efforts on
the boundaries for the two new high schools (West Boca Raton and Park Vista) that needed to
be opened in the fall of this year.
Atlantic High School will have a 2,500 seat capacity of which 700 seats are to be allocated to
the special programs such as the IB program, ROTC, and career academies. The District has
not yet given the statistics as to how many of the students that are currently attending these
programs already reside in the boundary area. This is critical in order for the ABC to know how
many students it can ultimately load into the school.
There is currently little or no capacity to shift students into the Boynton Beach area even with
the opening of the new high school on Jog Road (Park Vista High School). With the opening of
the new West Boca Raton High school there is plenty of capacity to the south. This becomes a
challenge for Delray Beach as we try to bring students back from the south and we can't shift
students to the north.
The first study the ABC is examining loads Atlantic High School with all the students that live
within the 2 mile walk zone (see map). On the surface this seems logical but it creates some
issues. The positive aspects of this plan is that almost all the SAC's (Study Area Code) which
are located east of 1-95 south of Atlantic Avenue that are being bused to Olympic Heights,
Spanish River and Boca Raton High Schools will be brought back to Atlantic High School.
However, not all students that reside within our municipal boundaries will be brought home as
there just isn't enough capacity in Delray Beach.
The neighborhoods located along the southern boundary of Delray Beach (i.e. Bass Creek,
Tropic Palms, Delray Estates, Andover, Oakmont, Rabbit Hollow, Del-Aire, etc.) would continue
to be bussed to Boca Raton and Spanish River High Schools. Further, the students living west
of Military Trail north of Flavor Pict Road would be bussed to Spanish River (from Boynton
Beach to Boca Raton). Another negative aspect of this study is that the capacity is not evenly
WcS.O
~
distributed between the schools located in South County. This results in the decrease of
teachers and resources in those schools and some of which our students will still be attending.
Several of the ABC members would like to bring all of the minority students back to Atlantic High
School which would dramatically change the socio-economic diversity within Atlantic High
School. The City Commission should consider this boundary scenario and determine if it is in
the best interest of our students and community.
The City Commission reviewed similar boundary proposals last year and it was the consensus
at that time, that we support a plan that provides equal capacities "regionally" in order to evenly
divide the educational resources among all the schools located in South County.
Carver Middle School:
The opening of the Don Estridge High Tech Middle School has created competition for the
Carver Middle School IB program. Two years ago Carver had 220 application requests and this
year that number dropped to 121 applications. While this can be anticipated with the opening of
a new school, the decrease in applications should be closely monitored to ensure that it does
not compromise our other IB programs. The Principal of Carver Middle School was new this
year and it is her intention to grow the IB program which can only strengthen the program at
Atlantic High School. The City should help support Carver Middle School in any and all of its
efforts to market and recruit students to its middle years IB program.
With recent boundary changes for this school, its socio-economic diversity has been affected
and the City should be aware of its challenges. One program that the Principal would like to see
implemented in her school is a summer camp literacy program that would serve around 200-250
student that live within walking distance of the school and are the lowest performing students.
Carver is trying to raise enough money to implement this program this summer. While she did
approach the City asking for financial assistance and recreational resources, it was too late in
the budget year. The Delray Beach Education Board is very supportive of this program.
Village Academy Expansion:
Last year in September, the City Commission approved a Resolution supporting the expansion
of Village Academy through the 8th grade. Since that time, Palm Beach County School Board
has voted to support the expansion of the school through 12th grade and that expansion has
been added to their referendum project list. It may be appropriate at this time for the City
Commission to take a position on the relocation of the alternative school and the demolition of
the Delray Full Service Center to support the expansion of Village Academy. There is support
from the District that a new school be built to house all of the alternative programs. The Delray
Beach Education Board supports this initiative.
Elementary School Enrollment:
With the boundary changes several years ago, Orchard View and Plumosa Elementary Schools
have become high poverty and high minority based schools. As a result enrollment is down at
both of those schools. Orchard View Elementary school is at 70% capacity this year and
Plumosa is at 74% capacity. As capacity decreases so does teacher resources. In fact, at
Orchard View Elementary School, they have implemented an autism program to fill some of its
seats. In addition, Pine Grove elementary school is at 77% of its capacity and Village Academy
is at 81%. Again both of these schools are predominately minority schools.
Banyan Creek, S.D. Spady, and Morikami Park Elementary Schools, have been able to
maintain their capacities and diversity as they contain special programs (i.e. gifted program at
Banyan Creek, Montessori Program at SD Spady, and the Elementary Years IB program at
Morikami). Schools containing high poverty and minority populations create "white flight". Over
time, this can affect the surrounding neighborhoods as they become less attractive to families
that do not want to or cannot afford private school educations for their children. This in turn
changes the dynamics and sustainability of the neighborhoods. The City Commission should
discuss ways in which they can help maintain some diversity within these schools.
On the Horizon:
The Delray Beach Education Board is very supportive of the following programs:
. Strengthening the City's after school programs with more academics;
. Adding an academic component to the summer camp programs;
. Addition of small reading libraries to Pompey Park and the Community Center;
. Addition of a computer lab at the Community Center;
. Advocate for the addition of pre-school components to all of our elementary schools
and/or strengthening existing programs;
. Support summer school programs at our local schools;
. Support mentoring programs;
. Strengthen reading programs within the schools and elsewhere within the City;
. Provide literacy training to after school and summer camp staff; and
. Strengthen our educational partnerships with the library, city sponsored after school
programs and Old School Square to share resources.
Discuss and provide direction.

SUBJECT: WORKSHOP MEETING OF MAY 11, 2004
POLICY STATEMENT REGARDING THE USE OF PORTABLE SIGNS WHEN
STREETS AND BLOCKS ARE UNDER CONSTRUCTION AND/OR
REDEVELOPMENT
,~~, 1 "^" "
After workshopping the Sign Code Amendment at numerous advisory boards, the only item of
discussion became the legalization of portable sandwich signs. Staff presented all of its findings in
a PowerPoint presentation to the Planning and Zoning Board at its April 19'h meeting. It outlined
current code requirements, ones being proposed by the new Ordinance, and a list of the pro's and
con's of portable signs. It also included regulations from other municipalities and suggestions on
alternative language. Based on the above, Staff proposed a compromised recommendation as
follows:
1. Remove language as was proposed in the amendment which allowed portable signs only for
certain businesses located in the Central Business District.
2. Add language under "Grand Opening Banner" to allow Portable Signs on a temporary basis for
30 days.
3. Revise language in the Sidewalk Cafe Ordinance to allow for a variety of menu Board designs
and placement criteria.
4. Create a policy statement to allow "special signage" during major construction periods.
5. Require Valet Parking Signs to be pole mounted and stationary.
The public who attended the Planning and Zoning Board public meeting mostly agreed that the
compromise recommendation was fair, but they voiced concerns regarding the policy statement
under Item 4 above as that language was not available at the time of the meeting. While, the
Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval of the amendment, staff felt that it would be
appropriate to workshop the policy statement with the City Commission prior to scheduling the
amendment for final adoption. This is the discussion now before the Commission.

Rev. 4-5-04
Section 4.6.7 Sians
(A) Purpose: The purposes of these sign regulations are: to encourage the
effective use of signs as a means of communications in the City; to maintain and enhance
the aesthetic environment and the City's ability to attract sources of economic
development and growth; to improve pedestrian and traffic safety; to minimize the possible
adverse affect of signs on nearby public and private property; to foster the integration of
signage with architectural and landscape designs; to streamline the approval process by
requiring master signage plans; and to enable the fair and consistent enforcement of these
sign regulations.

use of sight lines on public rights-of-way, should not obscure important public
messages, and should not overwhelm readers with too many messages. Signs can

character of its sub-areas.
(2) Preservation of Community's Beauty: The City of Oelray Beach
which includes a beach resort community as well as major office and industrial
parks relies heavily on its natural surroundings and beautification efforts to retain its
economic advantage. This concern is reflected by actively regulating the
appearance and design of signs.
(3) Property Value Protection: Signs should not create a nuisance to
the occupancy or use of other properties as a result of their size, height, brightness,
or movement. They should be in harmony with buildings, the neighborhood, and
other conforming signs in the area.
(B) Applicability: It shall be unlawful for any persons to post, display, change,
or erect a nonexempt sign or a sign structure, that requires a permit, without first having
obtained a permit therefor. Signs or sign structures erected without a valid permit shall be
deemed in violation and it shall be mandatory to obtain a permit, based on this Section, or
else remove the sign or sign structure. Signs erected, under a valid permit, prior to the
effective date of this ordinance, which have since become nonconforming shall be allowed
to remain in accordance with the time limitation and structure requirements set forth in
these LOR's. All signs not expressly allowed by these LOR's are prohibited.

(1 ) Issuance of Permits, Validity and Renewal: Permit applications
shall be reviewed by the Chief Building Official or his/her designee within thirty (30) days of

all applicable standards set forth in the LDRs, the Chief Building Official, or his/her
designee, shall cause a sign permit to be issued to the applicant. The permit shall be valid
for a period of 180 days during which period the sign may be erected; however, the Chief
Building Official, or his/her designee, for good cause shown and upon payment of 50% of
the original application fee, may renew the permit for an additional 90 day increment
provided that there have not been enacted, in the 180 day period, standards of which the
permit would be in violation.
(2) Permits for Individual Signs: Permits for signs shall be on a form as
promulgated by the Chief Building Official.
(a) Minimum Submission Requirements: The application form
and associated submission materials shall include the following:
(1 ) The type of sign and/or sign structure as set forth in the

individual signs consistent therewith shall be administratively approved.
(b) Master Sign Program: A Master Sign Program is to be used
when the development of a project is of such a scale or character that the normal
application of the design and/or aesthetic standards of Subsections (0) and (F),
respectively, will not result in an effective sign program and signing more permissive than
said standards is necessary. Approval of a Master Sign Program may include the
automatic granting of waivers and/or adjustments to the provisions of Subsections (0) and
(F) provided that the intent of the sign code is maintained and the character of the
community and neighborhood is not diminished. A Master Sign Program shall be

Events running a government and delivering services. So how did she get the job? She
Public Management Magazine was hired, not elected.
(PM) That may be a fantasy here, but It's reality In a lot of other places In America.

Interest Groups and Discussion here, should Buffalo and-or Erie County consider a change to a councll-
Usts manager government? The council-manager system of local government
combines the strong political leadership of elected legislators with the strong
Bookstore managerial experience of an appointed, professional, non-political local

Brownfields According to ICMA data, more than 80 million citizens live In communities that
operate under the council-manager form, Including the majority of larger
Career Resources communities. Of the 242 cities with more than 100,000 population, 142 use
Otizen and Resident this form of government. Some examples are Charlotte, Dallas, Las Vegas,
Partldpation Oklahoma City, Phoenix, San Antonio, Cincinnati, Austin, Fort Worth, Tucson,
Sacramento, Colorado Springs, Anaheim, Virginia Beach, San Diego and
Community and Economic Wichita.
Development
Ukewlse, counties have Increasingly turned to a professional administrator for
Council~Manager Form of management. In the late 1960s, the National Association of Counties (NACo)
Government called for the restructuring of counties and the appointment of strong
Culture, Libraries, and Art executives as managers. NACo recommended what many cities already knew n
Elected Officials that the best structure for local government Is the appointed manager with the
authority to manage all functions of county government.

Environment Of the 482 U.S. counties with populations exceeding 100,000, 30 percent or
Ethics 143 operate under a manager form, with 37 percent working under a
commission form and 33 percent under an elected executive. However, as
Finance and Administration counties grow In population, the percentage of those operating under
Health and Human services professional management Increases dramatically. Of the largest counties, those
over 1 million population, almost half, 48 percent, are managed by
Local Government professionals, compared to 34 percent operated by an elected executive.
Management! Administration
Parks and Recreation History
Performance Measurement Born out of the progressive reform movement In the early 1890s, the councll-
manager form of government began in 1908 In Staunton, Va. In 1914 Dayton,
Personnel and Human Ohio, became the first large city to adopt the plan. The first counties to do so
Resources were Arlington County, Va., and Durham and Robeson counties in North
Carolina.

Public Safety, Security, and The council-manager has become the most popular form of government In the
Emergency Management United States In communities with 5,000 or greater populations. The form Is
also popular In Canada, Australia, the Netherlands, New Zealand and the
Public Works United Kingdom.

The manager's role
Smart Growth Functioning much like a business organization's chief executive officer, the
Technology appointed professional manager oversees the community's dally operations
and, through a professional staff, ensures the provision of essential services
Telecommunications and the effective Implementation of the elected officials' policies. He or she
Transportation uses merit, not political affiliation, as the leading criterion for making all hiring
and personnel decisions.
Typically the manager has the clear authority to:
. Hire and terminate all senior officers and staff members.
. Direct and supervise the administration of all departments, offices and
agencies.
. Purchase all goods, supplies, equipment and services required by the
government, consistent with state and local laws.
. Prepare an annual budget and financial plan for consideration by the
council.
. Administer and enforce all contracts Involving the local government.
. Enforce all laws adopted by the council.
Managers who are members of ICMA adhere to a strict code of ethics, which
requires that they totally refrain from participation In all political activities,
Including the election of employing officials.
Managers are appointed by and serve at the pleasure of the elected officIals.
They do not have guaranteed terms of office or tenure and are evaluated on
their responsiveness to the elected officials and the community as well as their
ability to manage and deliver efficient and effective services. They may be
terminated at any time If they are not responsive to the elected officials. The
cliche among city managers Is that they "run for office every two weeks" (at
the bl-monthly council meeting).

Performance data
Communities that operate under the council-manager form have a strong track
record of performance and accountability. For example, the 2000 Government
Performance Project, complied by Governing Magazine and Syracuse
University's Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, graded 35 large
U.S. cities. The report substantiates the belief long held by council-manager
supporters that professional management combined with strong political
leadership makes an Important difference In quality of life for citizens In those
communities that use them.
The report's two highest-ranked cities, Phoenix (graded "A") and Austin
(graded "A-") operate under the council-manager form. (Buffalo was ranked 34
out of 35 with a "C-" rating).
Additional evidence of the superiority of professional management Is the
consistently higher debt ratings received from rating agencies such as Moody's
and Standard &. Poor's of those cities that employ a professional manager. Of
the 21 S&.P AAA-rated communities of over 100,000 population, 13 (62
percent) operate either under council-manager government or under a system
that employs a professional manager.
The end of patronage
Under the council-manager form of government, qualifications and
performance n not skillful navigation of the political election process -- are the
criteria that elected officials use to select a professional, non-political,
manager. The manager, In turn, uses his or her education, experience and
training to select department heads and other key managers to oversee the
efficient delivery of services. In this way the council-manager government
maintains critical checks and balances to ensure accountability.
Removing the chief administrator and senior executives of local government
from the political process ensures that governmental services are delivered
based upon need and the overall best Interest of the community and not
polltlcallnnuence. Simply put, this eliminates the "to the victor belongs the
spoils" system of governance that hearkens back to the days of Andrew
Jackson.
The role of the mayor
In most communities the citizens see their mayor (or county executive) as
their most visible leader, and the elected leaders of council-manager
communities are no exceptions. In this way, these chief elected officials are
analogous to the chairman of the board of private corporations.
The mayor In council-manager communities performs two critical leadership
functions. As a member of the council, he or she guides the development and
Implementation of policies to enhance the delivery of services to the
community, and he or she brings the community's diverse constituencies
together to work toward common goals.
By relieving the mayor of day-to-day administrative responsibilities and the
appointment of personnel, he or she Is free to pursue the long-range planning
for where the community should be going and building the political consensus
required to get there. And, freed from the need to dispense Jobs and fix
potholes, the chief elected official now can focus squarely on manning the
"bully pulpit" to work toward badly needed, sometimes unpopular changes In
the way governmental business is conducted.
Mayors In council-manager governments are most often directly elected by the
http://www2.icma.orglmain/ns.asp?nsid=935 4/27/2004
leMA Web Site Page 4 of5
voters. ICMA's survey of cities In 2002 showed that 67 percent of all councll-
manager forms elect their mayors by direct popular vote. A less popular option
Is for the council to select the mayor from among the council members.
Alternative forms
The National Civic League, an Independent, nonpartisan citizens organization
founded In 1895, has endorsed the council-manager form of government as the
preferred form since It published Its first Model City Charter In 1915. The latest
edition of the Model Charter once again endorses the council-manager form but
also recognizes that there are other alternatlves to provide professional
management to communities.
In those cities that choose to remain a strong mayor form of government, the
Model Charter Committee recommends the addition of a chief administrative
officer (CAO). There are two alternative approaches to how the CAD Is
appointed and what the responsibilities of the posltlon are In such
governments.
In the first approach, the mayor (or county executive) Is a strong chief
executive officer and provides the functions filled by a city manager In the
council-manager form. This form clearly divides the powers between the mayor
and the council, with the mayor as the dominant force. There are no provisions
for having major appointments be subject to the "advice and consent" of the
council. When there Is a CAD, this position Is an extension of the mayor's office
and Is called the strong mayor-CAO-counclI form.
Another approach Is where authority between the mayor and council Is both
separated and shared. This Is the form used by the large majority of strong
elected executlve governments, Including 8uffalo and Erie County. Here the
mayor has the executive authority, but major decisions are proposed by the
mayor and approved by council. For example, department heads are
nominated by the mayor and ultlmately confirmed by the council.
In these governments where a CAO position exists, the official Is nominated by
the mayor and approved by council or chosen jointly. Such systems are
referred to as mayor-councll-CAO forms.
The Civic League's Model City Charter says the preferred option In mayor-
council forms Is to have a chief administrative officer (sometimes called a city
administrator) with professional qualifications similar to a city manager who Is
responsible to both the mayor and the council.
This model provides for the Important organizational values Identified by
representative democracy, where accountable representatlves make policy on
behalf of the citizenry; responsible professionalism, where the manager or
administrator Is qualified by experience, education and training to achieve a
high level of efficiency and effectiveness In city government; and polltlcal
leadership, where the mayor leads the city as a whole.
SUmmary
The citizens of Western New York are struggling to find ways to Improve the
delivery of governmental services and at the same time reduce costs to
become more competitive In attracting employers and jobs to the region. Now,
more than ever, may be the time to consider the best way to manage those
governmental services, whatever the structure of local governments may
ultimately be.

Dear Susan,
Thank you for your comments on the conveyance agreement. I have inserted my
comments in red for your review. Since we normally do not have our attorney handle
the preliminary parts of our business dealings, I was instructed by our Executive
Producer, Thomas Clynes, to step directly into discussions with you. Therefore, the
red-lined comments are mine and not Danielle's.
Myself and our executive staff are concerned about this project however, since several

to cross the T's and dot the I's. While I understand that dealing with municipalities
usually involves a bit more red tape, it is also important that Delray understands that our
TV series must be produced expeditiously so as to make for the most topical and up to
date programming content. With compromise on each side, I am confident our mutual
goals can be accomplished.
Please make the insertions you feel are necessary and then let me know what you need
from me in order for you to get this approved on your end. Time is of the essence, as
we are planning a video taped brain storming session with Michael Graves on May 17th
and Delray's participation is necessary if they are the selected City. This will be the
beginning of the building planning and will include discussions about either Delray,
Deerfield or our third option, which currently is confidential.
We are interested in making this work with Delray Beach, however if the commissioners
are not fully enthusiastic with this project and ready to move forward, regretfully we will
have to move in another direction. This would not only be disappointing to us, but a very
big lost opportunity for the City of Delray Beach considering they stand to benefit by
receiving about 2 million dollars worth of national, regional and local TV exposure,
increased tax base, increased business to the community. Additionally, the local
business community will be involved, as we are seriously considering working with a
local developer and will have our second meeting with them tomorrow. Please let me
know how quickly you can turn this around and I will coordinate the pre-production
process necessary on our side.

SUMMARY OF CONVEYANCE
AGREEMENT AND COMMENTS
1. 1.2 - "Closing Date". Closing is set for ten business days after Buyer's
condition precedents to closing are satisfied. [The contract should
include a "not to exceed" closing date.] We are open to vour input on
the lenqth of max time
2. 1.5 - "Property". Approximately 9,DDO sq. ft. located at SW. comer of
NW. 1" Avenue and Atlantic Avenue. Buyer has changed the contract to
provide that Buyer will pay for survey to obtain correct legal description.
Correct
3. 2. - "Conveyance of Property; Consideration". Exhibit B contains the
Buyer's services and a value thereof. In Paragraph 1.(a) of Exhibit B, the
Buyer has guaranteed certain distribution and has mentioned certain time
slots. [I would recommend that the words, "generally agreed" be
omitted.] Not a problem to remove Paragraph 2 of Exhibit B requires
visuals of the City in the five seconds or ten percent (10%) of the opening
credits, whatever is greater, a thank you in two sentences across the full
screen for two seconds and a visual of City flag or seal. The City will be
cited in the dateline of press releases indicating the reasons the producers
chose the City. The above requested citv credits are acceptable.
[Perhaps an Independent television consultant could validate the
value of the services. The changes to exhibit B should be reviewed
by the Commission. They are set forth In pages 24 through 27 of the
Contract.]While I believe the reason Pearlman and the other citv
commissioners have come this far is because thev understand the
value of this proiect to them far outweiqhs the value of the land.
Additionallv. there are intanqible and literallv immeasurable values lie.
Association with Michael Graves. Hunter Tvlo, Alexander Haiq)
4. 3.1 - "Intended Use". The agreement provides for condominiumization of
all or a portion of the improvements. [Condominiums may negatively
Impact repurchase rights]. Office andlOr Retail Condomllllums would be
a reqlllrement 101 MEP If we are tradlnq 2 million dollars wortll of
Advertislnq. exposure and the Credibility (that comes with your association
with our TV series Graves and Hunter) all In exchanqe for the land then
we need to be able to sell the property or parts of It as this process may
even be part of the overall content of the TV senes Also, the contract
provides construction will commence in 12 months of closing. [Paragraph
t
4128/04
13.1 says construction will commence 24 months after closing and
will be complete 36 months after closing.] 24 months is what we
would commit to however more than likelv it would be within 12. The DeI_,
Buyer represents that the building will be designed by Michael Graves and
Associates and constructed substantially in accordance with the Michael
Graves Architecture Plans as such plans are approved by the City. [I
would recommend that the warranty as to the Michael Graves design
and building be made to survive closing and also to reserve unto the
City the right to approve in its sole discretion the design based on the
aesthetics Independent of normal City processes either prior to
closing or Immediately after closing prior to construction and if not
approved, the land reverts to the City.] Yes. tbe city SllOLlld be able to
approve the desiqn based on aesthetics as Junq as approvals are not
LlllreasollablYJlillhheld. However It must be approved based on the Cities
normal process, not independent of the normal process
5. 3.2 - "Development Approvals". Buyer to use reasonable efforts to
secure approvals and to obtain building permits. The contract also contains
a statement that development approvals will not be deemed issued until
Buyer prevails in litigation inCluding appeals. [I would recommend that
there be an outside date Inserted for securing the approvals. Further,
I would recommend striking the sentence dealing with prevailing in
litigation as contained In the last sentence. Instead, I would suggest
the following language: "The effect of litigation on development
approvals shall be as set forth In L.D.R. Section 2.4.4(F)(4)."] ok on the
new term, what do vou recommend for outside time frames?
6. 3.3 - "Seller's Cooperation". [This entire paragraph should be
stricken. Instead, I would suggest the following: ''The Seller agrees
to join in and sign applications that are required to be submitted as
may be needed; provided, however, by signing such applications or
entering Into this agreement, it is understood by both parties that the
City, as Seller, cannot and does not warrant that any approvals will be
granted."] ok, but cannot be unreasonablv denied either. Also. this
must ~o thru the standard citv approval process and not be
independent.
7. 3.6 - "Ownership of Approvals". [I would add, "Buyer Is responsible
to secure all approvals at their own expense".]~
8. 3.7 - "Termination for Failure to Obtain the Development Approvals".
The Buyer has the right to terminate if approvals are not granted. [I would
2
4128/04
suggest the Seller and the Buyer have the right to terminate In that
event without further penalty. Since obtaining the development
approvals are a condition precedent to closing, I would suggest the
last clause "except for those matters which survive the termination of
this agreement" be omltted.]~
9. 4.1.1 - "TItle Commitment". [I recommend that the title work be
obtained immediately or within a short period of time after the legal
description Is obtained from the survey. The history of this property
warrants an early check of previous deeds and quiet title actions to
make sure there are no Impediments to using the lands for a non
municipal purpose. There are no known Issues in this regard at this
time, however, I would suggest that the title work be completed within
15 business days after receipt of the survey In Paragraph 4.3.]~
10. 4.1.2 - [I would eliminate the words "except for those matters that
survive the termination of this agreement" In the second to last
sentence.] ok
11. 4.3 - "Boundary Survey". Buyer will pay for the boundary survey and
updated survey. ok
12. 5.1.1 - "Buyer's Cost". All inspections will be at Buyer's costs. J2!s
13. 5.1.2 - "Insurance". Buyer will obtain insurance naming the City as an
additional insured. [I would suggest that the sentence Include a
statement Indicating securing Insurance will be at the Buyer's sole
expense. Also, I would recommend that the Buyer be subject to the
requirement that It provide all insurance, whatever type, or In
whatever amount that the Risk Manager of the City deems advisable.]
Must be based on normal city practices, not simply what Risk Mrlr
deems advisable
14. 5.3 - "Offslte Parking Arrangements". The Buyer shall secure parking
agreements within the inspection period (60 days), and use reasonable
efforts to obtain parking agreements. [I would add language that states
that, "The cost of obtaining the parking shall be at the sole cost of
Buyer".] ok
15. 5.4 - "Appraisal". City will now pay for appraisals of the property. [I
would suggest, as previously mentioned, that additional language be
added allowing the City to use a television consultant to value the
3
4128/04
services provided In Exhibit B with the cost of the appraisal of the
services to be reimbursed by Buyer.] No. if vou plan to get a TV
consultant to evaluate the proiect. then that would be at the Citv's full
cost.
16. 6. - "Acknowledgements, Representations, Warranties and Covenants
of Seller". [Paragraph 6.1 should be stricken in Its entirety, along with
6.6. The words, "to the best of the City's knowledge and belief'
should be inserted In front of 6.3, 6.4 and 6.5.] Ok
17. 7. - "Buyer's Conditions Precedent to Close". [I would recommend
that additional language be added to 7.3 as follows: "The City does
not warrant that approvals will be granted." There also should be an
outside time limit to secure the parking agreements that can be
extended by mutual agreement of the parties. I also would add
language to state, "Notwithstanding anything contained herein, all
parking agreements must meet the requirements of the City's Land
Development Regulations, Section 4.6.9(E)(4)(5)".] [I would also add
that the posting of the Letter of Credit in a form acceptable to the City
be included as a condition precedent of Buyer to closing. I would
also put in language that in the alternative, the posting of a cash bond
with the City in a form as may be acceptable to the City, be included
as a condition precedent.] No. we are committing to this and MMP is
guaranteeing this as well. we are not qoinq to post a bond or a lelter
of credit.
18. 13.1. - "Rights of Repurchase". The City's rights to repurchase is
effective if commencement of construction does not occur 24 months from
closing date or completion does not occur within 36 months of closing. [In
Paragraph 3.1, It states Buyer will commence construction within 12
months of closing date. I would suggest both sections require
commencement within 12 months of closing and require that
completion occur 24 months from closing.] No. 24 and 36 are most
appropriate for the TV series here.
19. 13.3 - "Repurchase Price". The language states that the repurchase
price will either be the hard and soft costs paid as part of the Buyer's
expense, or the outstanding mortgages on the property, whichever is
higher. [The soft costs should be eliminated and the hard costs
should be those costs paid to unrelated third parties. The better
course would be to delete 13.13.1 In Its entirety and for the City to pay
mortgages for hard costs incurred as a result of dealing with
4
4/28/04
unrelated third parties only. Further, the City should have thirty
business days, not five, to give notice of the right to repurchase.] No.
soft costs and hard costs would need to be included here.
Additionally, any and all costs from Exhibit B which were performed
on would have to be included in the re-purchase price.
20. 13.5 - "Closing". The agreement calls for a closing on the City's right of
repurchase within 30 days of the election to repurchase. [A longer period
oftime Is needed.] Ok
21. 13.6 - "Title Insurance". [On the repurchase, the City cannot pay
documentary stamps taxes by law.] Ok
22. 13.7 - "Institutional Mortgagee". The agreement provides that a
mortgagee has superior rights to the City and may elect to take over the
project. The City's rights are subordinate to the mortgage except that the
City has the right to repurchase ahead of the mortgagee if it pays a
"release" price as may be agreed to by the Buyer and mortgagee in a deed
of trust. [The release price should be fixed as the mortgage on the hard
costs. The better protection Is to have the City have a first mortgage
on the property.]No. this does not seem like it will work
23. 14.2 - "Buyer's Post-Closing Default". If Buyer falls to provide the
services in Exhibit B and the default remains uncured for a ninety day
period, then the City may receive the fair market value of the property at the
time of the default less the cost of the improvements constructed thereon.
To determine the fair market, each party will select an appraiser and the
two appraisers will select an appraiser who will determine which of the
previous appraisals will be binding on the parties. The Buyer will thereafter
pay to Seller within ten business days the fair market value of the land
which will not include the value of a proposed improvement constructed by
Buyer. [This Is a cumbersome process.] WE are open to your
suaaestions here,
24. 14.2.2 - If Buyer falls to timely commence or complete construction, the
City may repurchase the property at fair market value of the land plus fair
market value of the Improvements and prorafed value of the benefits
outlines In Exhibit S., under the terms set forth above or receive the fair
market value of the property (less improvements). [These Items are
described above.]
5
4128/04
25. 14.2.3 - "Letter of Credit". A letter of credit is to be provided at closing. [I
would suggest that the Letter of Credit be provided prior to closing to
Insure the form is acceptable. The letter of credit can be held in
escrow if the form is acceptable until closing. Further, the contract
should allow the posting of a cash bond. See above.] No letter of
credit is necessarv, since MEP and MMP are quaranteeinq their
services.
26. 14.2.5 - "Arbitration". The agreement calls for arbitration. [I would
recommend Paragraph 14.2.5 be stricken. It is not in the City's best
interest to allow arbitration. The contract requires the City to arbitrate
before electing to repurchase. It lets the arbitrator determine the
materiality of a default and that ruling is not appealable which is a
condition detrimental to the City.] Arbitration seems like a fair
solution if there were any issues.
27. Guarantee. The Guarantee needs to be clarified. [The Guarantor should
guarantee to the Seiler (City) the obligations of the Buyer and the
agreement. Please clarify the rest of the language. We also will need
a corporate resolution as to the Guarantee.] Ok
28. Exhibit C - Restrictive Covenant. [Additional language should be
added that nothing contained herein abrogates any rights of the City
under its pollee powers which remain in full force with no limits
except as required by law.] Ok
29. Final Comment. [(1) It Is unclear how the City can repurchase If parts
of the project are condominimlzed. (2) The better protection for the
City Is to have a superior mortgage for the value of the land which can
be foreclosed upon by the Clty.1 If we cannot Condominimize then
this project will not work. as the option to condo and sell the office
buildinq mav be part of the overall TV series.

SUMMARY OF CONVEYANCE
AGREEMENT AND COMMENTS
1. 1.2 - "Closing Date". Closing is set for ten business days after Buyer's
condition precedents to closing are satisfied. [The contract should
include a "not to exceed" closing date.]
2. 1.5 - "Property". Approximately 9,000 sq. ft. located at SW. corner of
N.W. 1st Avenue and Atlantic Avenue. Buyer has changed the contract to
provide that Buyer will pay for survey to obtain correct legal description.
3. 2. - "Conveyance of Property; Consideration". Exhibit B contains the
Buyer's services and a value thereof. In Paragraph 1.(a) of Exhibit B, the
Buyer has guaranteed certain distribution and has mentioned certain time
slots. [I would recommend that the words, "generally agreed" be
omitted.] Paragraph 2 of Exhibit B requires visuals of the City in the five
seconds or ten percent (10%) of the opening credits, whatever is greater, a
thank you in two sentences across the full screen for two seconds and a
visual of City flag or seal. The City will be cited in the dateline of press
releases indicating the reasons the producers chose the City. [Perhaps an
independent television consultant could validate the value of the
services. The changes to Exhibit B should be reviewed by the
Commission. They are set forth in pages 24 through 27 of the
Contract.]
4. 3.1 - "Intended Use". The agreement provides for condominiumization of
all or a portion of the improvements. [Condominiums may negatively
impact repurchase rights]. Also, the contract provides construction will
commence in 12 months of closing. [Paragraph 13.1 says construction
will commence 24 months after closing and will be complete 36
months after closing.] The Buyer represents that the building will be
designed by Michael Graves and Associates and constructed substantially
in accordance with the Michael Graves Architecture Plans as such plans
are approved by the City. [I would recommend that the warranty as to
the Michael Graves design and building be made to survive closing
and also to reserve unto the City the right to approve in its sole
discretion the design based on the aesthetics independent of normal
City processes either prior to closing or immediately after closing
prior to construction and if not approved, the land reverts to the City.]

\

4/28/04
5. 3.2 - "Development Approvals". Buyer to use reasonable efforts to
secure approvals and to obtain building permits. The contract also contains
a statement that development approvals will not be deemed issued until
Buyer prevails in litigation including appeals. [I would recommend that
there be an outside date inserted for securing the approvals. Further,
I would recommend striking the sentence dealing with prevailing in
litigation as contained in the last sentence. Instead, I would suggest
the following language: "The effect of litigation on development
approvals shall be as set forth in L.D.R. Section 2.4.4(F)(4)."]
6. 3.3 - "Seller's Cooperation". [This entire paragraph should be
stricken. Instead, I would suggest the following: "The Seller agrees
to join in and sign applications that are required to be submitted as
may be needed; provided, however, by signing such applications or
entering into this agreement, it is understood by both parties that the
City, as Seller, cannot and does not warrant that any approvals will be
granted."]
7. 3.6 - "Ownership of Approvals". [I would add, "Buyer is responsible
to secure all approvals at their own expense".]
8. 3.7 - "Termination for Failure to Obtain the Development Approvals".
The Buyer has the right to terminate if approvals are not granted. [I would
suggest the Seller and the Buyer have the right to terminate in that
event without further penalty. Since obtaining the development
approvals are a condition precedent to closing, I would suggest the
last clause "except for those matters which survive the termination of
this agreement" be omitted.]
9. 4.1.1 - "Title Commitment". [I recommend that the title work be
obtained immediately or within a short period of time after the legal
description is obtained from the survey. The history of this property
warrants an early check of previous deeds and quiet title actions to
make sure there are no impediments to using the lands for a non
municipal purpose. There are no known issues in this regard at this
time, however, I would suggest that the title work be completed within
15 business days after receipt of the survey in Paragraph 4.3.]
10. 4.1.2 - [I would eliminate the words "except for those matters that
survive the termination of this agreement" in the second to last
sentence.]
2
,
.' .
4/28/04
11. 4.3 - "Boundary Survey". Buyer will pay for the boundary survey and
updated survey.
12. 5.1.1 - "Buyer's Cost". All inspections will be at Buyer's costs.
13. 5.1.2 - "Insurance". Buyer will obtain insurance naming the City as an
additional insured. [I would suggest that the sentence include a
statement indicating securing insurance will be at the Buyer's sole
expense. Also, 1 would recommend that the Buyer be subject to the
requirement that it provide all insurance, whatever type, or in
whatever amount that the Risk Manager of the City deems advisable.]
14. 5.3 - "Offsite Parking Arrangements". The Buyer shall secure parking
agreements within the inspection period (60 days), and use reasonable
efforts to obtain parking agreements. [I would add language that states
that, "The cost of obtaining the parking shall be at the sole cost of
Buyer" .]
15. 5.4 - "Appraisal". City will now pay for appraisals of the property. [I
would suggest, as previously mentioned, that additional language be
added allowing the City to use a television consultant to value the
services provided in Exhibit B with the cost of the appraisal of the
services to be reimbursed by Buyer.]
16. 6. - "Acknowledgements, Representations, Warranties and Covenants
of Seller". [Paragraph 6.1 should be stricken in its entirety, along with
6.6. The words, "to the best of the City's knowledge and belief'
should be inserted in front of 6.3, 6.4 and 6.5.]
17. 7. - "Buyer's Conditions Precedent to Close". [I would recommend
that additional language be added to 7.3 as follows: "The City does
not warrant that approvals will be granted." There also should be an
outside time limit to secure the parking agreements that can be
extended by mutual agreement of the parties. I also would add
language to state, "Notwithstanding anything contained herein, all
parking agreements must meet the requirements of the City's Land
Development Regulations, Section 4.6.9(E)(4)(5)".] [I would also add
that the posting of the Letter of Credit in a form acceptable to the City
be included as a condition precedent of Buyer to closing. I would
also put in language that in the alternative, the posting of a cash bond
with the City in a form as may be acceptable to the City, be included
as a condition precedent.]

.
. .' .
4/28/04
18. 13.1. - "Rights of Repurchase". The City's rights to repurchase is
effective if commencement of construction does not occur 24 months from
closing date or completion does not occur within 36 months of closing. [In
Paragraph 3.1, it states Buyer will commence construction within 12
months of closing date. I would suggest both sections require
commencement within 12 months of closing and require that
completion occur 24 months from closing.]
19. 13.3 - "Repurchase Price". The language states that the repurchase
price will either be the hard and soft costs paid as part of the Buyer's
expense, or the outstanding mortgages on the property, whichever is
higher. [The soft costs should be eliminated and the hard costs
should be those costs paid to unrelated third parties. The better
course would be to delete 13.13.1 in its entirety and for the City to pay
mortgages for hard costs incurred as a result of dealing with
unrelated third parties only. Further, the City should have thirty
business days, not five, to give notice of the right to repurchase.]
20. 13.5 _ "Closing". The agreement calls for a closing on the City's right of
repurchase within 30 days of the election to repurchase. [A longer period
of time is needed.]
21. 13.6 - "Title Insurance". [On the repurchase, the City cannot pay
documentary stamps taxes by law.]
22. 13.7 - "Institutional Mortgagee". The agreement provides that a
mortgagee has superior rights to the City and may elect to take over the
project. The City's rights are subordinate to the mortgage except that the
City has the right to repurchase ahead of the mortgagee if it pays a
"release" price as may be agreed to by the Buyer and mortgagee in a deed
of trust. [The release price should be fixed as the mortgage on the hard
costs. The better protection is to have the City have a first mortgage
on the property.]
23. 14.2 - "Buyer's Post-Closing Default". If Buyer fails to provide the
services in Exhibit B and the default remains uncured for a ninety day
period, then the City may receive the fair market value of the property at the
time of the default less the cost of the improvements constructed thereon.
To determine the fair market, each party will select an appraiser and the
two appraisers will select an appraiser who will determine which of the
previous appraisals will be binding on the parties. The Buyer will thereafter
4
.
'","
.
4/28/04
pay to Seller within ten business days the fair market value of the land
which will not include the value of a proposed improvement constructed by
Buyer. [This is a cumbersome process.]
24. 14.2.2 - If Buyer fails to timely commence or complete construction, the
City may repurchase the property under the terms set forth above or
receive the fair market value of the property (less improvements). [These
items are described above.]
25. 14.2.3 - "Letter of Credit". A letter of credit is to be provided at closing. [I
would suggest that the Letter of Credit be provided prior to closing to
insure the form is acceptable. The letter of credit can be held In
escrow if the form Is acceptable until closing. Further, the contract
should allow the posting of a cash bond. See above.]
26. 14.2.5 - "Arbitration". The agreement calls for arbitration. [I would
recommend Paragraph 14.2.5 be stricken. It is not in the City's best
interest to allow arbitration. The contract requires the City to arbitrate
before electing to repurchase. It lets the arbitrator determine the
materiality of a default and that ruling is not appealable which is a
condition detrimental to the City.]
27. Guarantee. The Guarantee needs to be clarified. [The Guarantor should
guarantee to the Seller (City) the obligations of the Buyer and the
agreement. Please clarify the rest of the language. We also will need
a corporate resolution as to the Guarantee.]
28. Exhibit C - Restrictive Covenant. [Additional language should be
added that nothing contained herein abrogates any rights of the City
under its police powers which remain in full force with no limits
except as required by law.]
29. Final Comment. [(1) It Is unclear how the City can repurchase If parts
of the project are condominimized. (2) The better protection for the
City is to have a superior mortgage for the value of the land which can
be foreclosed upon by the City.]

architectural, engineering, planning and other costs (excluding interest 011 loans), less the balance
of any mortgages and liens paid or assumed by Seller in connection with such repurchase; or
13.3.2 the cost of releasing the Property from any construction and acquisition
mortgages or deeds of trust held by Institutional Mortgagees (which costs shall be paid directly to
such Institutional Mortgagees), and Buyer shall be responsible for satisfying and releasing all
other liens and encumbrances.
In the case of Seller's election to exercise its repurchase rights as a result of the occurrence

Repurchase Price of the Property, the Seller may elect not to repurchase the Property by giving to
Buyer written notice within five (5) business days of the determination of the Repurchase Price,

waiver shall not waive any remedy which may be available to the Seller under this Agreement, at
law or in equity for breach of this Agreement by Buyer.
13.4 Indemnitv. Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Seller from and against
any and all claims, damages, expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees and court costs) and

marked-up title commitment committing the title company to issue an owner's title insurance
policy (ALTA Form B) issued by a duly licensed title insurer insuring title to the Property (and
any improvements located thereon) in Seller subject to only the Permitted Exceptions. Costs of
clearing title, and all other costs incurred incidental to reconveyance of the Property (including,
but not by way of limitation, recording fees) shall be paid by Buyer; provided, however, that the
costs oftitle insurance and documentary stamp tax shall be paid by Seller.
13.7 Institutional Mortl!al!ee. In the event that Seller elects to exercise its rights to
repurchase pursuant to this Section, any Institutional Mortgagee entitled to receive an Election
Notice, may, within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice, elect to assume Buyer's obligations
hereunder and promptly cure the default and proceed to complete construction in accordance with
the approved plans and specifications whereupon Seller shall be deemed to waive its rights of
repurchase as to the specific default, but not as to any future default hereunder. Any such election
shall be exercised by such Institutional Mortgagee giving written notice thereof to Seller in the
manner required herein whereupon the Institutional Mortgagee shall execute promptly formal
assumption documents, in such form and content as Seller may reasonably require. For pwposes

mortgage or deed of trust by paying to the Institutional Mortgagee the release price for such
Property agreed to by Buyer and the Institutional Mortgagee in the mortgage or deed of trust.
However, all of Seller's rights to release the Property from a mortgage or deed of trust shall
terminate upon the issuance of certificates of occupancy or written approval of final inspection
from the applicable government agency, for all Proposed Improvements.

the Closing Date; (ii) receipt of a certificate of occupancy or written approval of final inspection
from the applicable government agency with respect to the Proposed Improvements; or (iii) the
opening of the Proposed Improvements for business, and such termination shall be self-executing
and no further documentation shall be required from either party in order to evidence the same;
provided, however, notwithstanding the self-executing nature of the foregoing termination upon
the occurrence of a Termination Event, Buyer shall have the right to unilaterally execute and
record in the Public Records of the County a document terminating the Memorandum of
Agreement and releasing same of record.
13.9 Rights and Remedies Cumulative: Survival. The rights, remedies and options
granted to Seller pursuant to this Section 13 are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any other
rights or remedies to which Seller is entitled hereunder, at law or in equity, or in any other
agreement, declaration, covenant or restriction which may be recorded in the public records of the
County. The provisions of this Section shall survive Closing and delivery of the deed or
conveyance.
13.10 Force Maieure. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the
event commencement of construction or completion of construction, as defined in Section 13.1

governmental regulations or controls, inability to obtain any materials or service or through an act
of God or any other cause reasonably beyond the control of Buyer (each an "Event of Force

Al-AmIrIca Clty MEMORANDUM
~~IIE DATE: May 10, 2004
TO: City Commission
David Harden, City Manager,
FROM: Susan A. Ruby, City Attorney
SUBJECT: Blocks 52 and 44 Re: Frontage on Atlantic Avenue, South of the
Tennis Facilitv
I have reviewed deeds for Block 52 and 44, as it pertains to frontage on Atlantic
Avenue, south of the current tennis facility.
The deed for Block 52 indicates a need for a referendum to release restrictions on
the sale or transfer of parcels within Block 52. There was a referendum held in
1990, and the voters agreed to release the restriction, however, the ballot question
indicated that the proceeds from a sale would be used to develop a public tennis
facility, thus it may be necessary to have another referendum to delete the
condition.
The Block 44 deed, pertaining to frontage on the west half of the property,
contains a reverter clause that can not be released by a referendum.
Please note that a title search would need to be prepared to fully ascertain the
exact encumbrances on the properties, after a survey is prepared to obtain a valid
up-to-date legal description.
