Warren in the Chair, City Manager Louis ~. ~mitzes, City Attorney John Ross Adams and Councilmen A1 C. Avery, Dugal G. Campbell, Glenn B. Sundy and John A. Thayer. · An opening prayer was delivered by A1 C. Avery. .On motion by Mr. Sundy and seconded by Mr. Thayer the minutes of September llth, 1961 meeting were unanimously approved. Mr. Avery asked for a public hearing on the sewer plant, plus a referendum, both requests being ignored by the Council. Mr. Avery quoted published excerpts from a telephone conversation between State Health Engineer David Lee and Mr. Cam~,.bell and Mayor Warren. Mt.Avery also quoted Mr. Campbell as saying: 'We'. are not getting the big industrial growth in Delray, and the majority of residents do not want it." Mr. Avery also stated that Mr. Campbell had told Mr. Lee that the city had deliberately avoided the growth it could have had. Mr. Avery withdrew his former support of the proposed new $400,000 sewer plant which the state considers inadequate for f~ture growth of Delray Beach, and said that the people should have a chance to say what kind of a sewer plant they want. Mr. Paul Postlewaite of 2946 Brant Drive, Tropic Palms, represent- ing a delegation from that subdivision, Said that they had tried for two years to get the streets fixed and that Brant Drive and Bluebird Drive are in very bad condition, also that the entrance to the Subdi-. vision is in an unsightly condition and that the residents have been unable to get Mr. Mellon to improve these conditions, and asked that the city intercede in getting this work accomplished. Mr. Postlewaite also complained about the City Dump. City Manager Smitzes read the following letter from Mr. Henry J. Mellon to City Engineer Fleming, dated september 15, 1961: "In answer to your inquiry re: the final surfacing of some roads in Tropic Palms, please be advised that Hardrives resu~faced and resealed these roads for pro- tection in June 1961. This was done as a protective measure against errosion. At that time, water instal-. lations were made to any homes without water. "Funds will be available within the next ninety (90) days to place final surface on the roads in question. Trusting that this meets with your approval." Mr. Campbell moved that the City Manager mark his calendar and make certain that by the middle of November the work has been started so that the Council will be assured that t~e work will be completed by the middle of December as has been promised, and that ~. Mellon be notified of this action of the Council. The motion was seconded by Mr. Avery and carried unanimously. M~. John K. Glessner of 801 N. W. 2ndAvenue complimented the Council on the improvements that have been made in Del~ay Beach but that there is some ~atual beauty here that is not being taken care of and referred to the trees in the ~ight-of-way of N. W. 2nd Avenue be- tween 7th and 9th Streets and asked if there could be some consider- ation given to the care of those trees. ~. Avery moved that the City Manager be directed to look into this matter and give this Council a report on his recommendation or what action has been taken, the motion being seconded by Mr. Campbell and unanimously carried. Mayor Warren reviewed the Beautification Committee meeting min- utes of September 21st. Mayor Warren read the following recommendations signed by Lora S. Britt, Chairman of the Beautification Committee~ 9-25-61 290 SEPTEMBER 25, 1961 "The Civic Beautification Committee makes the following recommendations for the Lm~rovement .of the Beach. "Planting of up to 70-80 coconut palms, four-foot high trunks, in clusters in suitable areas between sidewalk and beach. "Simple landscaping of the 32-foot wide strip between M~ramar and Ingraham Streets (to include extension of S~. Augustine grass several feet toward the embax~ment, trees and shrubs) The committee members viewing the south end of the beach concurred that it would be ad- vantageous for the City to employ a professional landscape firm for this project. "The steps leading down to the beach should remain of wood structure due to the safety factor. Sea sage planted at the sides of these entrance ways to enhance the beauty of the beach by its silvery green color and obscuring the painted hand railings. More spider lily plantings could be utilized. "Outfall pipes could be lowered and extended into the ocean thereb~ eliminating the steady erosion. These areas should be filled with sanB. "More shelters from the sun would be useful.~ "Garbage cans could be lowered into the gro~Und thereby re- moving a rather unsightly white can of which the frame work rusts due to the salt air. "Traffic signs are rusty and need to be replaced. "Pavilian could be divided so that bathers and non-bathers use specific areas. Non-bathers frequently complain that chairs are wet. "Ail planting would be done Just as soon as the hurricane season is welllover, probably in mid-October." It was moved by Mr. Thayer. to adopt this recommendation, ~'the motion being seconded by Mr. Campbell, who stated that he would like to make certain that the Cit? Manager and City Engineer agree that it would be wise to contract rather than to try to do it with city forces --- or leave it to the discretion of the City Manager and City Engine er. Mr. Avery stated that he wanted to go on record that he is very much in favor of city beautification and wants to improve the beaDh but there is a specific recommendation to employ professional help on this thing and thinks there shoUld be an idea of what the cost is going to be before it is authorized. The motion and second were withdrawn by Mr. Thayer and Mr. Campbell and Mr. Avery then moved that this report be accepted and referred to the City Manager with an e~licit recommendation to the Council as to the course that they should pursue. There was no second to Mr. Avery t s motion. · Mr. Campbell then made the following motion: "I move that the City Manager together with the City Engineer be authorized to obtain the cost of eighty coconut palms, four-foot high trunks, fu~ther that the landscaping of the 32-foot wide strip between Miramar D~ive and Ingraham Avenue be carried..out as per the request of the committee, that is to carry the grass out to .the 32-foot width of the full length of that block, that they also be authorized to obtain prices from out- side sources as to this project and to report their findings on a basis of doing it with city forces or using ~he outside landscaping firms. Further that the steps leading down to the beach should remain of wood structure, due to the safety, factor, that the sea sage be planted at the sides of these entry ways on the upper side to enhance the beauty of the beach and blocking out the painted hand rails and that spider lily plantings be utilized wherever possible. That the outfall pipes be lowered and carried-out into the ocean in the same me. nner, or in a manner that would give us the end results similar to what we now haVe at the outfall from the swimming pool. Also as a separate item, to study the additional shelters recommended, not here, -2- 9-2~'61 291 SEPTEMBER 25, 1961. but it was recomnended by the committee that we have two additional shelterS, one to She north and one to the south similar to those now in u~. Further that a sepemate price be obtained for dropping the 4arbage cans into the ground. All of this not to exceed a cost of ,000.00 and that this be reported to us fo~ ou~ consideration." The motion was seconded by M~. Avery and carried unanhuously. Mayor Warren made the following public release.' "At the request of the Inter-Racial Committee a meeting was called for Monday evening September 18th. This committee comprises seven members living to the east of Swinton Avenue and five members living west. The meeting was called for the purpose of discussing new recreational community center facilities for the west side. Only one member from the west aide was present, all members from the east side were there. While this was not the representation desired from the area a~fected, discussion was opened and about one hour was spent in covering the request. It was concluded that there should be more representation from the west side for proper discussion an~ the meeting was adJottrned until Friday night, September 22nd, with the assurance that the west side would have more representation. On Friday night at 8 o,clock all the east side mem- bers were on hand and two citizens from the west side, however both of whom were members of the so-called Beach Committee, who are not mem- bers of the Inter-Racial Committee, therefore after waiting some 20 minutes the meeting was adjourned for lack of a quorum. The majority of the City Council feels that the west side members of the Inter- Racial Committee should not have called for a meeting with them if they did not intend to have a representative attendance. This is for the record, ladies and gentlemen as to how you~ City Counci2 tried to work with the members of both sides of town, the e, called, Inter- Racial Committee, in trying to come to some conclusion." M~. Thayer moved that due to the lack of interest on the part of the west side members of this committee that the recreational facili~ ties improvements be indefinitely postponed, the motion being seconded by Mr. Campbell. Mr. Aver~ said that he didntt think the Council should shut their minds to any of the needs of any people in Del~ay Beach, and doesn't think it is proper to ~ndefinitely postpone anything that represents a need of a citizen of tl~is town. Mr. Campbell explained that as he understands the motion it is to the effect that f~ther discussion on the part of the Council is postponed but does not shut off the possibility of those interested from bringing it up. Mr. Avery said he felt that this thing represents that we shut the doors o£ ou~ mind to a recreational program for some group of our citizens. Mr. Campbell asked that the motion be amended to read: "Due to the lack of inte~st on the part of the west side members of this committee that the recreational facilities improvements discussion be postponed indefinitely." Mr. Avery said that he did not think it was proper to give any reference to any particular side of town but if there is a need in town for something that the Council should be ~or it, and if there is not a need they should be against it, that the Council is here to act for the overall good of the people. Following lengthy discussion, Mr. Thayer reworded the motion to read as follows.. "Due to the lack of interest on the part of the west side members of this committee I move that the recreational facilities improvement discussion be postponed until such time as the representatives from the west side appea~ before the Council in regu- lar meeting and ask for a special meeting to discuss anything of this nature that they wish to discuss." The motion was seconded By Mr. Campbell and ca~rted unanimously. City Clerk Worth, rig read RESOLUTION NO. 1351. A RESOLI~ION OF TNE CITY OF DEL~AY BEACH, FLOEIDA AMENDING THE "ADMINIaTP~TIVE CODE" AND PROVIDING FOR "JOB CLASSIFICATIONS and COMPENSATION RANGE~". (Copy of ~eaolutlon No. 1351 and supporting information a~e attached to and made a pa~t of the official copy of these minutes.) See Pages 298 A, 29~B. 298C, 298D & 298E '3- 9-25-61 292 SEPTEMBER 25, 1961. On motion by Mr. 0ampbell~ and seconded by Mr. AverY Resolution No. 1351 was unanlmously adopted. i~r. Avery then..moved that the moratorium on wages which was set by the Council at .the previous meeting be ended' In seconding the motion~ ~. Campbell stated that he would like to make certain that the City Manager understands that in delaying the action of the wage committee for this two weeks period necessary in order to approve the sufficient amount of money in the budget that it be more or less lumped and it is understood that the money that is in the budget which now appears as divided into departments is left in the City Manager.s discretion as to how it will be used. ~he motion carried unanimous ly. The Wage and Hou~ Committee were commended on their work in preparing this City Wage and Hour Schedule. Attorney Harx~j Newett addressed the Council as rep~senting the Carver Park Homes, Inc., and Mr. Marqusee developer of'the subdivi' sion of Carver Park which plat was approved at the last meeting sub- Ject to sidewalk construction and now requests that under Ordinance No. G-285, Section 9, Par. 6, that sidewalks be waived to the folloW- ing extent. "That the Planning Board may waive the requirements of sidewalks on streets .and blocks where the average width is 200t or more or where park, railroad, canal or other use on one side of the street makes a sidewalk on that side not essential for' safety of pedestrians." 'Attorney Newett also stated that he understands that the Planning Board further recommends that sidewalks be constructed on N. W. l~th Avenue and on N. W. 3rd Street and that sidewalks be waived in other parts of the subdivision. Also that other subdivi- sions in this area do not have sidewalks, and that Carver Park is an F.H.A. development and does not require sidewalks as it increases costs and that the previously mentioned recommendations of the Plan- ning Board regarding sidewalks is all that is needed for safety of pedestrians in this area. Mr. Avery moved that this item be referred back to the Planning Board for a recommendation .from them~ The motion was not seconded. Upon question, Attorney Adams informed the 0ouncil that the Planning Board can waive sidewalk construction on certain~ occasions as set up in Ordinance No~ G-285, but' in this case they cannot waive it, that it would be up to the Council to Waive it. Upon question, City Engineer Fleming stated that he recommends sidewalks in this subdivision for the following reasons: Primarily this will be a subdivision of young .people and there will be a large number of children as it is in the vicinity of the school, also there is a great amount of deterioration of the streets due to the fact that the rocks on the shoulders of the streets are kicked around on the streets by the children when there are no sidewalks; also if the sidewalks are installed at a later date it would have to be on an assessment basis. Mr. Avery stated that he made a tour of that area with the City Engineer and that the developer of Carver Park presented an area of misunderstanding which he thinks should be clarified, regarding waiv- ing of sidewalk construction in a subdivision on the east side 0f Carver High School. Mr. Avery further stated that the developer of Carver Park had stated that their general practice was accepted as to what was contained in the area surrounding it and their engineers ex- plored this whole area and that no where in the surrounding area had sidewalks been required, and from that they developed this plat with no sidewalks. Mr. Avery also stated that 'he did not take exception to the City Engineer, that he wanted to be on record as saying that if the City Engineer had not called 'Council attention to the Ordinance he would have been derelict, and asked again that this' item be ~erred to the Planning Board so that they can give the Council a re- commendation that will give them the wisdom to make a proper decision. Mr. Campbell asked for the Planning Board report on this subdivi- sion to be read at this time which the City Clerk read, being as follows, dated September 5th: "At' its regular meeting on August 25, 1961 the Planning and Zoning Board unanimously approved the prelimin- ary plans 'for the'Carver Park subdivision plans as submitted and passed them back to the Department of Public Works." Mr. Campbell reminded the Council that after receivi~.g from the Planning Board their approval and the request from the City Engineer that it be approved subject to the sidewalks, the Council had approved said plat subject to sidewalk construction. -4- 9-25-61 293 'SEPTEMBER 25, 1961. M~. Campbell asked, through the Oity Manager, for a full report on the development to the east of the 0arver High School, that he would like to know why or how the sidewalks in this particular de- velopment were skipped and under what ~authority. 0ity Manager Smitzes reviewed Council action in 1959 and 1960 on this particular subject. M~. Campbell asked that the City Attorney be asked to give the Council a full report and opinion as to the position of this parti- cular situation, if possible, at the next ~meetlng. In compliance with charter requirements in appointment of Clerks and Inspectors for the coming Referendum Election the following action was taken: On motion by Mr. Sundy and seconded by Mr. Oampbell, Fritz Friberg and Charles C.

It was moved by Mr. Campbell, seconded by Me. Sundy and unani- mously carried to appoint M~. J. LeRoy Croft as a member of the Resources Development Board for a three year term to fill the vacancy caused by requested release by Board member Me. Robert Totterdale. The remaining members of the Board, H. Ben Adams and Edwin H. Ewing recommended said appointment. City Manager' Smitzes presented bids as follows for 1500 feet of 8" Cast Iron Pipe which is intended for immediate Water Main Extort-' sion projects: James B. Clow & Sons $ 3,817.50 U. S. Pipe & Foundry 3,975.00 Amerioan~Cast Iron Pipe 0o. 4,050.00 Montane Cast Iron Pipe Co. 4,215.00 Alabama Pipe Company. 4,260.00 The City Manager further stated that it'is recommended that award of purchase be made to American Cast Iron Pipe Company, Whose bid, though being $232.50 in excess of.the low bid, is deemed economical and warranted in this particular instance due to said bid of American Cast Iron Pipe Oompany being truckload delivery, whereas the two low- er bids were submitted on Rail Freight Delivery. It was moved by Mr. Thayer that this bid be awarded to the American Cast Iron Pipe Company in the amount of ~4,050.00. The motion was seconded by Mr. Campbell and carried unanimously. City Manager Smitzes presented bids received for stage equipment at the Community Center, being curtain equipment and accessories. One bid in the amount of $1,578.00 by the Tiffin Scenic Studios, Inc. Tiffin, Ohio and the second bid for $1",773.50 from Hubert Mitchell Industries, Hartsell, Alabama. The City Manager further stated that it is recor~aended that the purchase be made fram Hubert Mitchell Industries, at $1,773.50 as this includes the equipment delivered and installed and a guarantee on all workmanship on the equipment and the installation, whereas that was not part of the bid submiSted by the other company. It was moved by Mr. Campbell to approve the recommend- ation, motion being seconded by Mr. Sundy and unanimously carried. The City Manager informed the Council of the ~lorida League of Municipalities 35th Annual ConventiOn to be held at Jacksonville; Florida at Hotel Robert Meyer on October 2~, 23 and 2~, 1961. It was moved by Mr. Campbell that the Mayor and City Manager represent Delray Beach at this convention, with the understanding that if the Mayor cannot attend he is authorized to appoint some one to attend in his place. The motion was seconded by Mr. Avery and unanimously carried. Regarding authorization to execute contract employing the auditing firm of Himes & Himes of Del~ay Beach to perform the annual audit for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1961, Mr. Campbell asked the City -5- 9- 5-6 SEPTE~BER 25, 1961. ~ttorne~'if there was any reason for not extending this contract for the 1961-62~f, iscal year. The City Attorney stated,that it was per- fectly alt ri~ght to extend the contract for a"'yeSr~, City Manager Smitzes info~med the Council that auditors quote rates per day for ~their services, and the make up of this contract would facilitate a continuous audit throughout the year. Mr.~ ~very moved to authorize the execution of this contract with the direction to the City Manager that a continu~ng audit be main- tained through the 1961'62 year. Mr. Campbell seconded the motion and asked that the record show what is meant by a continuing audit, and what will.be accepted as 'such. The Oity Manager explained as follOWs: "A con.tlnuing audit, under the terms of this contmact would mean that it would be at the discretion of. the independent auditors to decide where and when they would make spot checks as to particular segments of the accounting facilities. There would be no predetermined design or explanation as to where they would pursue the matter but it would be up to 'their discretion. You would not receive any written response or report as to what was found unless what was found was peculiar as to what was supposed to be found. If everything is as it should be, then the supplementary studies that they have made through the year would supplement the overall audit and they would tie it in all together at one time." Mr. Campbell asked if the Finance Director accepts that defini- tion and will be guided by it, to which Mr. Gessler gave an affirm- ative answer and said that the new contract states that the auditors will'proceed with the future and the current audit. Upon call of roll the motion carried unanimously. The following letter was received from the Electrical Examining Board signed by five of. its raembers and dated September 12, 1961: "In view of the resignation of our Electrical Inspector, Mr. C. W. Rickerd effective September 30, 1961, it is the recommendation of this Board that immediate steps be taken to locate and employ a qualified man to succeed him. "It is recommended that Mr. Rickerd's replacement be em- ployed as soon as possible so that he will have a period in which to work with Mr. Rickerd to become well versed in his duties .prior to the effective date of Mr. Rickerdts' resignation. "At the present time, the Electrical Board operates ~of- ficially only as an examining board for applicants for Master and Journeymants Electricians licenses. It has no authority whatsoever as regards ~interPreting the electrical code, or in resolving differences between the Electrical Inspector and Contractor. "It is felt that the Board should have the authority to act as a Board of Appeals in order to settle differences of opinion between electrical Contractors and the Electrical Inspector as regards interpretation of the Electrical Code. At the present time a Contractor that feels the code is being interpretated improperly has no means of appealing a decision of the Electrical Inspector. "It is also recommended that a Master Electrician be appointed to the Electrical Board. This will give the electrical contracting industry representation on the Board which it does not have at the present time. "We beg your careful attention to the above matters." Concerning authority to act as a Board of Appeals it was moved by Mr. Campbell, seconded b~ M~.' Thayer and unanimously carried that this request be denied. It was then moved by Mr. Avery, seconded by Mr. Sundy and unani- mously carried that Mr. R. O. Keen, Sr. be appointed as Master Electrician to the Board. -6- 9-25-61 e95 SEPTEMBER 25, 1961. City Manager Smitzes presented the foll_owLng memorandum from the Director of Public Works,' dated September l~th: "SubJect~ ~gneda Item - Request for Paving. "'Request has been received from Mrs. Roy King, chairman of a .Womanls Club improvement committee, for paving of parking areas on the city-owned property upon which the Woman.s Club building is located. "The request is for a total of 1,447 square yards of parking area paved with limerock and sand sealed. This includes two small lots, one north and one south of the building proper. Estimated cost of materials is $760. "If this project is approved it is suggested that the actual .construction be held off until after October 1st, at which time money will be available from the new budget." Following discussion, Mr. Campbell moved that this matter be tabled and that the City Manager be asked to meet with a represents,- tire of the Womanls Club and the following to be determined: What part of this area is considered as under lease to the Womants Club, that be established once and for all, and how much of it is in Curtis Park facing on 6th Avenue; also find their thinking as to who is re- sponsible for improvements on a 99 year lease that has been given to the Women of the City for $1.00 per year, and at the same time plots the possibility of the County furnishing shell rock. for the requested parking areas. The motion was seconded by Mr. Avery ahd carried unanimously. The request for resorting of Lots 30 & 31, Ocean Breeze Estates was unanimously referred to the Planning Board on motion by Mr. Thayer and seconded by Mr. Avery. · Regarding the application for Certificate of Public Convenience ~d Necessity for the operation of two taxicabs by Mr. Fred Wilson of '30 S. W. 9th Avenue, Mr. Calma. bell moved that a public hearing be set for Monday, October 9th at 8.00 P.M. The motion was ~Seconded by Avery and carried unanimously. City Manager Smitzes read the following letter frora the Carver High School P.T.A., dated September 17th and signed by J. M. Proctor: "Due to the continuous growth of the schoolls population in the west sector of ot~ town; the Safety Committee of the Carver High School P. T. A., composed of teachers and parents, have made a study of traffic safety. Our ~%udy revealed the following problems .. 1. No sidewalks on Atlantic Avenue west of Swinton, 2. No sidewalks on Southwest Second Street. 3. No marked crosswalks on Atlantic Avenue. 5 One station police officer on West Atlantic and 10th Avenue. ~ One motorcycle officer on Southwest 2nd ~treet' during the morning. 6. No officers are ever seen du~lng the 3~35 closing time of school. "It has also been noted that commuters, in an attempt to avoid the police officer on Atlantic Avenue, tend to detour to south- west and northwest 2nd street and are exceeding the speed limit. "We feel that these grave problems should be given your immediate attention and every effort made to rectify the situation before some accident occurs which can seriously injure or even cause the death of a child." Regarding items 1 and which are under the Department of Public ~orks, the City Manager stated that the request is quite vague and if it was interpreted in its ma~ sense it would require approxi- mately $51,000.00 to provide sidewalks on both aides of the street along Atlantic Avenue, and in the past the first installation of -7- 9- 5-61 296 SEPTEMBER 25, 1961. sidewalks has been considered as an item assessable against the -. abutting property owners, although in some cases they were determined to be a public necessity and cost was borne by the city. Regarding nO marked cross walks on Atlantic Avenue, the Public Works Department is now attemPting to contact the P. T. A. to ascer- tain what locations are required for cross walks in an endeavor to accommodate them as ~apidly as possible for the safety of school children as well as pedestrians. Regarding items 4, 5 and 6 which pertain to policing the area, Chief Croft was requested to report, which report is as follows: "Re: Carver High School P.T.A. reguest. "In reference to the above request, we have at the present time one police officer stationed at W. Atlantic Avenue and 10th Avenue, one motorcycle Patrolling Atlantic Avenue and all streets near the school, including N. W. 2nd Street in the vicinity of Spady Elementary School. The patrol sergeant also makes frequent patrols in this area, as does Lt. Grantham. Ail this occurs during the time when the children are going to and from school. "In my opinion, the only way to give added protection would be to employ part-time school crossing guards, funds for which were not included in the budget for the coming year. "We will continue to give every protection possible to make it safe for the school children over the entire city." Mr. Campbell stated that one day last~week when he Was coming into town from the west that there were nUmerous school Children on Atlantic Avenue but the flasher caution lights were not on and the City Manage~ said that would be lobked into and taken care of. Mr. Campbell further stated that at the time Carver Nigh School was built it was discussed that the school'children should not use Atlantic Avenue east and west but only when they wanted to cross it. Mayor Warren asked the City Manage~ to answer the letter~ stating his findings and his recommendations, and that the city will do every- thing possible for safety. Regarding a request from Attorney J. Clinton Scott for filing supplement to the petition of protest concerning expansion of the City Yacht Basin facilities, Mr. Campbell moved that Attorney Scott be notified to send in the original signed petition for referral to ' ~ the planning Board, the motion being seconded by ~r..Thayer and unani- mously carried.

The Civil Defense plan for De]may Beach is based, in general, on the assum~tion that a direct attack will not be mounted by enemy forces against the city. Consequently, mass evacuation of the city is not envisioned as the primary means of protection of the populace. However, plans must be formulated for this contingency if such evacu- ation is Ordered by higher authority. 2. Upon imposition of martial law, declaration of a state of emergency or when directed by higher authority, the Delray Beach Civil Defense organization preempts unto itself and supersedes all local authority except courts of law established therein. The De]may Beach Director of Civil Defense will assume control of all emergency functions as stated in the Civil Defense plan under the authority of the Civil Defense Council. 3. The control centers for the various emergency operational staffs are as' shown: a. The primary control center will be located in Police Station Bulld ing, b. Operating staffs for fire and rescue will be located in Fire Station. c. Operating staffs for medical services will be located in Bethesda Hospital. d. Operating staffs for transportation will be located in Police Station Building. e. Operating staffs for engineering will be located in Police Station Building. f. Operating staffs for communications will be located in Police Station Building. -6- 298-J-7 4. The city of Delray Beach will organize its Civil Defense forces within the framework as established by the County of Palm Beach and the State of Florida and will conform to the practices and procedures established for the employment of consolidated forces. Delray Beach forces will retain their identity and leadership regardless of the area in which employed, except that integral units dispatched for service with the forces of another political jurisdiction will operate under the orders of that Jurisdiction until properly relieved. 5. The secretary of the Civil Defense council will maintain a register of personnel designated to augment the Civil Defense operating staff, according to the individuals skills and qualifications. PART IV 1. Emergency procurement of supplies, equipment and services needed for such periods as envisioned by this plan, will be decentralized to the various Deputy Directors. The City Clerk will function as the Supply Officer when emergency powers are invoked. 2. Following an attack, restrictions will be placed upon disposal of all goods, materials, supplies, equipment, parts, accessories, mer~ chandise and produce. Determination of the distribution of all such commodities will be through Civil Defense channels until a rationing system is placed in effect by higher authority. Each Deputy Director will draw from available sources those commodities and supplies need- ed by his service to protect or sustain life, perform emergency func- tions or restore order. Ail such commodities or supplies will be dis- pensed on an austerity basis.
