A regular meeting of the City Council of Delray Beach was held in
the Council Chambers at 8:00 P.M., with Mayor George V. Warren in the
Chair, Cit. y 5Lanager George Mingle, City Attorney Richard F. Zimmerman
and Councilmen /%1 C, Avery, Dugal G. Campbell and Glenn B. Sundy
being present.
An opening prayer was delivered by the Rev. Stewart Austin.
On motion by Mr. Sundy, seconded by Mr. Campbell and unanimously
carried, the minutes of February 20, 1961, meeting were approved.
Councilman Avery recognized and introduced Mr. R. C. Millikan. a
friend and City Commissioner from his home town of Greensboro, N.~.
Mr. $. L. Patterson presented the following petition signed by
55 individuals:
"We, the undersigned, residents and property owners of the
City of Delray Beach, Florida, who reside in and about the
affected area, hereby join together and respectfully petition
the City of Delray Beach to effect the following zone change:
"Rezone the property between N.E. 1st Street
and N. E. 4th Street, and from the alley in
Block 65, 66, and 67 eastward to N.E. 2nd Avenue;
excluding Lots 1 and 24 in Block 73, and Lot 15,
Block 65 from its present zoning to a commercial
zoning." C-2.
Mx. Patterson stated that he had withdrawn the petition that had
been presented last month as in the advertisement of same only lots
2 thru 12, Block 73, had been advertised and not all that had been
requested.
Mr. Sundy moved that the City Manager, the City Clerk and the City
Attorney go over the petition and if it is in order to resubmit it to
the Planning Board and direct them to hold a public Hearing thereon,
subje ct to the withdrawal of the former petition. The motion was
seconded by Mr.. Avery and carried unanimously.
During discussion City Attorney Zimmerman read Section 16 of the
Zoning Ordinance which is as follows~ "CHANGES AND AMEND~.~ENTS. The.
City CommisSion may from time to time, on its own motion or on peti-
tion, amend, supplement, change, modify or repeal by ordinance the
boundaries or districts or regulations or restrictions herein estab-
lished after public hearing."
Mr. Campbell: "It has always been my understanding that if we
get a petition covering any section whether it rs.. one lot, one block,
ten blocks that when the petition goes before the Planning Board and
comes again before the Council it is based on just what has been
asked for, no more and no less, then if the Planning Board wants to
include another area over and beyond that it should come from an
action of theirs but would not be tied in with the petition that is
before them."
Mr. Campbell was informed that the Planning Board might recommend
and submit a further recommendation to the Council after study of ~he
area that possibly some adjoining land to those contained in a peti-
tion might warrant their consideration for rezoning and they would
pass on such recommendation in addition to their recommendations on a
petition. See pages 1 & 2 of March 6, 1961 minutes for correction.
~;~yor Warren announced that he had written to Governor Bryant
asking if he would attend a dedication of the New City Hall if it was
convenient sometime after the 18th of March, but that the Governor
had expressed his regrets, wishing all good luck and was proud to be
governor of a state in which community progress is a rule rather than
the exception. Mayor Warren stated that a date had not been set for
the dedication.

Regarding Ordinance No. G-889, City Attorney ZiEe~n had
~en instructed to get an opinion from the Attorney General of
the State of Florida re~rdinq the legality of shutting off water
if the garage bill was left unpaid a~ informed the Council that
he had received a reply to his inqui~ as follows dated February

"This is in response to your letter of February
14 wherein you i~uire as to whether or not a
munioi~lity ~y bY ordinan~ authorize the dis-
~ntinuance of water service for non-payment of
sewer charges.
"In this regard I direct your attention to State
v. City of Miami, Fla., 27 So. 2d. 118, wherein
the Flori~ Supreme Court said at page 126:
'It is uniformly held that the city may cut
off the water being furnished by the city to
a oons~er when such ~umer fails to ~y the
water bill. See 67 C.J. 1266 and ~ny cases
cited therein, includinq }~iami Water Co. v.

FEBRUARY 27, 1961.
'It appears to us that if no constitutional rights
of the owneY or occupant of premises are violated
by shutting off the water for nonpayment of the
water bill, no such right will be violated by shut-
ting off the water for nonpayment of the bill for
use of the sewage disposal system, the two services
being so interlocked that neither can be effective
without the other.
'This was recognized in the case of Gatton V. City
of Mansfield, 67 Ohio App. 210, 36 N.E. 2d 306.'
