A special meeting of the City Council of Del~ay Beach was held
in the Council Chambers at 8:00 P.M., with Mayor George V. Warren in
the Chair, City Manager Louis J. Smitzes, City Attorney ~ohn Ross
Adams and Councilmen A1 C. Avery, Dugal G. Campbell, Glenn B. Sundy
and ~ohn A. Thayer being present.
1. An opening prayer was delivered by the Reverend H. Stewart
Austin.
2. On motion by Mr. Sundy and seconded by i~. Thayer, the minutes
of October 23rd and 30th Council meetings were unanimously approved.
gA. Mayor Warren annouD~ed that a public hearing had been advertis-
ed for this time on schedule of rates for sanitary sewer services and
pertaining to the sewer program itself.
Mr. John Remus asked that the City Engineer give his opinion on
the sewer project as a whole and what he prefers.
Mr. Fleming commented as follows: "The gentleman did not ask
any specific questions with regard to the sewer program, only my
opinion in general. As has been stated in Co,mncil meetings, prior.to
this time, by Mr. ~Campoeil and by others, it is known that I did not
and have not favored the construction of the smaller sewage plant as
the most economical and practical solution to Delray's problems.
P~imarily viewing it from an engineering basis, I believe that the
larger plant and particularly the ocean outfall would be a much more
practical solution for Delray Beach. The consideration of any po-
litical factors or financial factors is largely in the province of
the Council and not for me to decide on. The Council has been ad-
vised of my opinion and I trust has duly considered it in making
their decision contrary to my recommendation as an Engineer. It is
my feeling that the smaller system, the activated sludge type plant
which is proposed ~ now, is one of the most ex~.ensive methods of treat-
ment. A small unit being built to accommodate the presently sewered
district of the downtown area would have done Just that. It has been
expanded because the State Health Department has required a slightly
larger unit. It is my feeling, at the same time that this unit is
being built the Engineers have recommended the construction of a
forced type main, a pressure main outfail, from the new plant wh~c h
is to be located out near the city barns and to return the effluent
to the Intracoastal Waterway. The const~,uction of this effluent line
is more expensive than would be required because it has been stated
that it is desired to leave the future expansion of the plant open
and that this line could then be used as an ou~fall line for an
eventual ocean outfall disposal method. The Consulting Engineers,
in one of their recommendations, recommended that this be done, that
this expensive type activated sludge plant be installed because it
would accommodate itself more readily to adaptation either for an
expanded plant or for an ocean outfall system~ I do not feel that
there is any possibility if this smaller plant is put into operation,
that there is a very remote possibility, that the ocean outfall will
ever be constructed. The argument in favor of expanding to the ocean
outfall is that industries and subdivisions will create a need for a
larger expanded system. It has been my experience that that will not
be the case, that if the larger system is ever needed it is needed
now. The industries making applications for sewage and water upon
finding out that we do not have sewage available either go elsewhere
or make their own sewage disposal facilities, once having done that
of co,~rse rather than mal, ing a demand for an expanded system they
immediately become opponents of the system because they have expended
their money and they do not want to have to re-expend that same money.
The subdivisions of which I guess there has been several dozen come
in since I have been here, had they been offered the opportunity, had
the City had a sewer line to put up to their boundaries, they would
have been obliged to construct their own sewer lines at no expense
to the city. This is the case now, however, all of these have gotten
approval of septic tanks o~ other methods of disposal and now of
course they would more or leas be opposed to an expanding system,
11-6-61
November 6, ].961
therefore I cannot see at any point in the futtwe when there would be
a demand for expandin~ the system. I think that action will have to
be taken by the Council on it's own decision or on a petition of a
few individuals. For that reason I th/kak it is not probable that the
system will ever be expanded beyond the present designed stage. That
primarily is my objection."
Mr. Sundy asked thst City Engineer Fleming explain to the audi-
ence the cost of the ocean outfall and the cost of overall sewerage.
Mr. Fleming: "The cost of the ocean outfall as estimated, by
Russell & Axon was approximately $800,000. plus an additional $200,000,
odd for construction of a master lift station. In o~der to finance
it so that there would not be an excessive burden on the individual
users, it was recommended that additional system be constructed,
collection mains and latterals to provide a large enough number of
additional users, to expand the system out to a larger portion of the
city so that it could be properly financed without laying too heavy a
weig~..t on any individual, and that was the reason for expanding it to
the $3,000,000. figure. That did not cover the entire city."
~. Campbell asked: "What is the overall cost of the overall
deal as suggested--the 20 sections that were spoken of. If you don,t
have it handy I would be glad to give it to you. It was $6,000,000.
plus an interest rate of well over $2,400,000. for the next thirty
years at $71,000. a year for interest alone. $?1,000. for interest
alone for the next thirty years I can't see against a system that we
are proposing."
Mayor Warren: "Mr. Fleming, I have a. question. You are indi-
cating that it is very simple to finance a $3,000,000. outfall at
this time. Who bears the burden on the latteral lines in the hook-
ups eliminating present septic tanks and including vacant property?"
Mr. Fleming: "The cost of the latteral lines would be assessed
against the property owne~ whether there is a building on the property
or not. The only alternative which I could see which might eventually
require the city to go to overall sewerage, the only motivation strong
enough to prompt a council to necessarily take this action after we
once comply with the county laws, would be a general notification
from the State Board of Health that all septic tanks were to be elimi.-
hated and all cities would have sewage disposal~systems. That possi-
bility has been indicated and if it does take place the cost to the
individuals for the la,totals in front of their house would merely
replace the cost of the septic tanks which they must build to expand
the interim period."
Mayor Warren said it was the economic factor that was taken in-
to consideration in the now proposed plant, and not compel people who
are not on the present system to pay $4.00 per front foot for the
latteral lines plus an additional charge to connect to their septic
tanks when they feel that their septic tanks are in good condition.
In general discussion which followed, Mm. Adam Killerman ques-
tioned the possibility of the undesirable odors emanating from the
disposal plant. Mr. Walter Dietz protested the cost and type of the
proposed system. Mr. Frank Constans inquired as to who would pay the
cost of replacement.
Further objectors to the presently determined ,System, were Mr.
William George who felt that further action, at this time, should be
deferred until the proposed project had been placed before the voters,
by referendum, in order that the people affected be given the oppor-
tunity to determine, by vote, whether the present plan or some alter-
nate plan be provided. Mr. Clifford Baker objected to the present
intent and condition of the plans which provide for the discharge
line being layed on the south side of S. E. 4th Street and discharg-
ing into the Intracoastal Waterway at the rear of his home.
Attorney Nell E. MacMillan requested the Council to defer any
further action of the proposed 'System, until the registered voters
of the City had been given an opportunity to express their desire
and choice of systems by referendum to be provided on the General
Election of December 5th.
Mr. Roy Simon asked the Councilmen to answer individually on
the following question: "Do you feel that an overall system elimi-
nating septic tanks is needed in Delray Beach at the present time?" Mr. Averyl "Yes."
Mr. Thayer: "I think we need it but I don,t think we can
afford it."
Mayor Warren: "I don't think we need it, with the present
saturation, outside of the central area of town."
-2- 11-6-61
No,,~m?;~r' A, 106'I_
Mr. Campbell: "I will say that it would be nice to have but
we are not at that point, and if it is not a financial possibility
or if it doesn't seem to be the time to do it. I don't think there
is a person in town that doesntt feel that we would like to have an
overall sewer system at some time. Now when is that time? It is
when we can afford it for one time, that certainly is one place we
can have it and we cantt have it until we can afford it."
Mr. Sundy: "I think that if you or anyone else in this audi-
ence could sell Delray on a $6,000,000. bond issue that you would
be a super salesman. I would hate for you to come to my house and
tell me that. my septic tank is no longer of any value and I would
have to pay $1%0.00 to connect on to the city sewer. I don't think
you could find ?%% of the people who have septic tanks that are work-
ing good now that would want to pay to hook onto the city sewer."
Mm. O. D. Priest, Jr., felt that the determined location of the
proposed plant was not in keeping with respect to residential areas,
and further, that the cost of maintenance should come under the gen-
eral revenue fund.
Mm. Pete Christophersen objected to th® proposed site of the
plant, fearing that such location, together with objectionable odors
therefrom, would lower the value of residential property in the area.
Mr. Benjamin Hoxsie also objected to the proposed location of the
plant, and Mm. Hugh Vogl inquired if more than one engineering firm
had been consulted when obtaining plans and estimates of cost.
It was mentioned that this proposed plant would be adaptable
as a lift station at a later date for whatever the plant expansion
would be and that many additional lift stations would be needed all
over town as the system expands.
The question was asked as to whether or not there would be a
capital loss involved in building the present plant with the thought
in mind of expansion either to the outfall or to a continuation of
the sludge treatment.
Mr. Russell of Russell & Axon commented: "The treatment facili-
ty as designed to remove the pollution from the Intracoastal Water~ay
is designed so that there will be, in essence, no loss regardless of
the conversion to a step by step treatment plant program by the city
or an overall comprehensive ocean outfall program for the City of
De]may. The facility is designed so that it can be converted rather
than to a primary treatment but to a so-called pre-treatment facillty.
The activated sludge plant, as designed, is for the capacity, as
as I know, to provide complete treatment, the lowest first cost treaty
~,~ent facility available. It can be converted as follows. It has a
primary settling basis which will provide grit removal should you
change to ocean outfall. An erasion unit which would provide pre-
erasion for grease removal; a secondary unit which will provide a
necessary stilling chamber to remove the grease; a digester to store
the grease and digest it; sludge beds for grit grind and the outfall
w-hich at this time will be a gravity outfall from the plant will be
converted to the first segment of a pressure main to the Gulfstream
so that the only loss, and it is very minor, will be in the piping in
the plant, the hydraulics, to take care of the additional flow. That
is the only loss and it is very minor in cost. The facility will pro-
vide as complete a treatment as is available at this time to remove
the pollution from the Intracoastal Waterway which is the premise
that has been stated by the Board of Health that this pollution must
be removed from the Intracoastal Waterway at this time."
Mr. Campbell asked of Mr. Russell: "~rnat do you show as the
overall cost of the 20 odd sections that have been discussed today
and previously."
Mr. Russell: "Including either a master lift station with pre-
treatment or as we go now, it is slightly in excess of $6,000,000. for
the entire city. The amount that is now delineated, $4%0,000. is for
the conversion of the present so-called treatment facility which in
the opinion of the consulting engineer is no treatment, to a lift
station with grit removal and chlorination; a forced main from this
lift station to the treatment plant; an activated sludge treatment
plant and a gravity outfall. The plant is to be located on city
property near S. W. 4th Street and 4th Avenue with a gravity outfall
from that point to the Intracoastal Waterway. The influent to the
plant, upstream from the plant, will be chlorinated for odor control."
Mm. Avery questioned: "What is the estimated cost of an ade-
quate master lift station if such would serve the outfall in the vi-
cinity of the City Pa~k?"
'3- 11-6-61
November 6, lq6]
Mr. Russell: "The lift station alone is somewhat in excess of
$200,000. That gives pre-treatment as we have it in Lake Worth."
Mr. Avery stated that he is with a company that has had ex-
perience with a lot of fine engineering fi~ms in the State of Floc. ida
and that he has the utmost confidence in the abilities of the firm of
Russell & Axon as Engineers and that he feels that they a~e the most
experienced in this field in the State.
Regarding effluent line from the sewage plant into the Intra-
coastal Waterway it was stated that it would be emptied into the
0 urr ent,
It was also brought out that if an ocean outfall is built at
this time it would have to be built large enough to take care of the
last connection that eventually would be built in the city and that
if such was done at this time the total city credit, sewer, water and
utility tax, would have to be pledged for a period of thirty one years
but that the plant that is being discussed now becomes part of an over-
all system whether it is determzined later to be ocean outfall or con-
tinued as a plant and the decision can be made when conditions are
more favorable than they are at the present time.
Mr. Nathan Sharp commented on the different city bond issues
and questioned whether there would be sufficient city income for the
more expensive set-up.
It was made known that the plant must be operated properly in
order to function properly and that the Consulting Engineers accept
the responsibility of training the personnel to make sure that they
know how to operate it properly.
Mr. Campbell commented as follows: "It is an ac epted fact that
in building the proposed $450,000 sewer system, future expansion has
been provided for to the extent of over 1000 connections, this being
about 100% of the present anticipated use at the time the system is
accepted by the city. Because of this, I propose that a sum of
$10,000 per year be paid by the city from water revenue, this to be
applied against the bond interest charges, this .program to be
viewed yearly by the Council and deductions of $2,000. per year to
be made as each new 200 connections are made to the system. This is
followed until the point is reached where the capacity of the 2000
connections have been made and the plant becomes self sufficient.
The above is offered in the firm belief that those who are benefitted
by the utility should pay on an assessment basis but further only to
the point that they are benefitted, and should not be taxed to cover
allowance for expansion. This should De covered by a~ citywide policy
and should therefore be paid for on another basis., and I offer that
as a motion at this time."
The motion was seconded by Mrs. Thayer.
Mr. Frank Oonstans stated th~t.by doing it in this manner the
rates could be reduced considerably~and thought that the rates of
apartment house owners should be taken into consideration.
Upon call of roll, Mr. Campbell, Mm. Sundy, Mr. Thayer and
Mayor Warren voted in favor of the motion, Mr. Avery being opposed.
Mr~ Avery then moved that the whole matter be tabled and the
people be allowed to vote on it at the December 5th Election. The
motion died for the lack of a second.
Concerning publication of Resolution No. 1355 and the public
hearing thereon, City Clerk Worthing read the f¢llowing excerpt from
said resolution, regarding the rates:
"RESIDENTIAL UNITS: A monthly sanitary sewage service charge
is hereby imposed upon each residential dwelling unit, as
more specifically set forth below, to which sanitary sewage
service is available through the facilities afforded by ~the
municipally owned sewage system, according to the following
schedule ~
Single family residential dwellings, for the
first 4 fixtures or less contained therein, .
$2.7.%, for the next 8 fixtures contained there
in, $.25 per fixture and for all fixtures con
.
rained therein over 12, $.15 per fixture.
"COMMERCIAL AND NON-RESIDENTIAL UNITS: A monthly sanitary
sewage service charge is hereby imposed upon each commercial
and non-residential unit (all buildings or structures serving
.more than a single family is to be considered a commercial
-4' 11-6-61
"unit) to which sanitary sewage service is available
through the facilities afforded by the municipally owned
sewage system, according to °~he following schedule:
For the first 2 fixtures contained therein
$2.75, for the next 8 fixtures contained
therein, $.50 per fixture and for all fix-
tures contained therein over 10, $.25 per
fixture.
"For the purpose of the foregoing schedule each plumbing
fixture or drain that is connected to a sewer, including,
but not limited to, a toilet, wash basin or lavatory, bath,
floor drain, laundry tub, kitchen sink, slop basin or wash
sink, washing machine, equipment or device if so constructed
as to discharge its water content into any of the foregoing
or directly into a sewer, shall be regarded as a Ifixturef."
Mr. Frank Constans said that he thought the apartment houses
were being treated unfairly and that they should be placed under the
residential rates.
Following lengthy discussion, Mr. 0stern of Russell and Axon
said that the Council can, if they wish, reduce the base rate by
$.25, making it $2.50 instead of $2.75 and also strike the sentence
on the rate schedule which says that apartments, hotels and motels
are considered commercial or non-residential users, and put them
under the residential rate and lower the base rate for everybody to
02.50, this change being made possible by the assignment of $10,000.
per year from the water revenue.
City Clerk Worthing then read amended RESOLUTION NO. 1359.

grant this $100.00 appropriation.
4. Mayor Warren read the following minutes of November 2nd
Beautification Committee Meeting:
1. "Mr. Livingston, Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce
Christmas Lighting Committee, outlined plans that the ..7
Committee had for installing permanent trees in the
entrance islands which could be decorated each year and
used as Christmas trees. These trees and lights are to
be paid for by the civic clubs. Mr. Galinat made a motion,
seconded by Mrs. Little, that the city be asked to approve
this plan. Motion carried unanimously.
2. "A motion was made by Mr. Ellingsworth, seconded by Mr.

granted. The motion was seconded by M~. Sundy and ca, tied unanimously.
Rega~dlng Item 2, City Manager Smitzes stated that this project
had been started.
5. Mayor Wsmren read the following letter from Mm. F. W. Harrold,
Vice President of the Coca Cola Ex~ort Corporation of New York, dated
October 2?th:
"I am sure that most of the letters you receive about your
Police Force are unfavorable. This particular letter is to
the contrary.
"I wish to congratulate you on three very courteous members
of your Police Department. On Sunday evening, October 15,
my wife and I were staying at the Boca Raton Hotel and Club
with a group of 60 officials of the Coca-Cola Export Corpor-
ation. One of our members broke his ankle and was taken to
the hospital which is about two miles above Del~ay. My wife
and I wanted to see our friend before visiting hours closed
and so we carelessly left the hotel in a rental car which
belonged to one of our close friends but without a driverts
lie ense.
"Returning back through Delray at about 9 o~clock we unintent-
ionally ran through a 30 mile an ~hour zone at some 50 or 60
miles an hour, and one of your younger officers quite rightly
brought us to the station.
"We were entirely in the wrong but I was impressed very much
with the courteous manner in which the younger officer and
the two older officers at the Police Station treated my wife
and myself. They quite rightly had us pay a small fine for
speeding and consented to allow us to prove our driver's
license by means of a hotel cl~rk at the Boca Raton Hotel
and Club.
"We were courteously treated; we were in the wrong and I
want to congratulate you upon these three members of your
police department."
Mr. Avery moved that the City Manager be instructed, through
his channels, to see that these men are commended and that'~ they be
thanked for being good salesmen for the City. The motion was seconded
by Mr. Sundy and carried unanimously. Mayor Warren asked that the
City Manager answer the letter.

6.i. City Manager Smitzes read the following letter from the Chamber
of Com~aerce dated November 3, 1961:
"The Board of Directors of the Delray Beach Chamber of
Commerce, at its meeting today, voted unanimously to
request the Council to continue with the lone hour
con~,rolled free parking, program, using courtesy
tickets, during this winter season and to allow free
parking in the cityls lots."
Mr. Avery moved that the request be granted with instructions
to the City Manager that he examine the feasibility of raising the
penalty rates, the motion being seconded by Mr. Campbell.
City Manager Smitzes reported that there is a supply of 13,000
traffic ticket envelopes already printed showing a fine of .50~ on
them.
Hr. Campbell then withdrew his second to the motion and asked
that the feasibility study be made between now and next week. ~.
Avery then moved that the request of the Chamber of Commerce be grant-
ed with instructions to the City Manager to bring a feasibility report
on raising the penalty rates. The motion was seconded by Mr. Campbell
and carried unanLmously.
6.f. Mr. Campbell moved that the request of the Milton-Myers Post 65
of the American Legion for a Beer License, consumption on the premises
at 263 N. E. 5th Avenue, be granted, but that the license fee should
not be waived. The motion was seconded by Mr. Sundy and carried
unanimous ly.
6.g. Hr. Campbell moved to grant the request of Ella Bell Holloman
for permit to sell beer, consumption on the premises, at 101 S. W.
5th Avenue, the motion being seconded by Mr. Sundy and unanimously
c art i.~d.
9.a. City Manager Smitzes presented the following Planning Board
Report dated October 29th:
"At its regular meeting on October 2?th the Planning and
Zoning Board held a hearing on a request made by Helen E.
Dorstewitz to rezone Lots 30 and 31, Ocean Breeze Estates
from R-1AA to R-3.
"There were 21 persons notified. Three persons appeared
including Helen Dorstewitz. Two of these objected to the
rezoning. In addition two letters were received which
likewise objected.
"It was moved and seconded that the request be granted and
a name vote taken. The vote was as follows: Mm. Jacobson-
Yes, Mr. Lankton-No, Hr. Hanna-Yes, Col. Fabens-¥es, Mr.
S inks -Ye s.
"The Board recommends that the request be granted."
Mr. Campbell moved that the recommendation of the Planning Board
be accepted and the zoning on Lots 30 and 31, Ocean Breeze Estates
be changed from R-1AA to R-3, the motion being seconded by Mm. Avery
and unanimously carried.
9.b. The following Planning Board Report dated October 29th was
submitted:
"At its regular meeting on October 2?th the Planning and

approximately three acres of land lying adjacent to Lake
Ida Road and south of it to C-2.
"The Lake Ida Development Co. was represented by Mr. Vogl
and Mr. A 1 Hagen.
"FolloWing. the hearing and discussion it was moved and seconded
and voted 4 to 1 that the matter be tabled for two weeks for
study."

Section 7. That the water system~shall continue to be
operated in the manner required by the Water Revenue Certificate
Ordinance until the retirement of all of the bonds herein author-
ized. To the extent hereinafter specified, the revenues to be
derived from the operation of the water system and the sewer
system are hereby pledged to the payment of operation and main-
tenance expenses, principal of and interest on the Water Revenue
Certificates and the bonds herein authorized and the establishment
and maintenance of the reserves hereinafter mentioned.
The bonds herein authorized being issued on a parity
with the Water Revenue Certificates in accordance with the provi-
sions therefor in the Water Revenue Certificate Ordinance, the
holder of each of said bonds shall have all rights granted by the
Water Revenue Certificate Ordinance to the holders of the Water
Revenue Certificates and all provisions in said ordinance for the
benefit of said certificate holders are hereby incorporated by
reference and shall inure to the benefit of the holders of the
bonds herein authorized.
From and after the delivery of any bond pursuant
to the provisions of this resolution, the sewer system shall be
operated on the basis of a fiscal year commencing on October 1
of each year and ending on the last day of September of the next
succeeding year, and on that basis all income and revenues of
every nature derived from the operation of said system shall be
set aside into a separate and special fund, which fund is herein-
after sometimes referred to as the "Sewer Revenue Fund"°
There shall first be paid from the moneys in the
Sewer Revenue Fund from time to time as needed the reasonable and
necessary expenses of operating and maintaining the sewer system,
including the cost of necessary repairs. Said expenses are hereby
-12-
defined as those expenses reasonably incurred in the normal
operation of the system and do not include the cost of additions,
extensions or other capital improvements.
From the money in the Sewer Revenue Fund not expended
for the reasonable and necessary cost of operating and maintaining
the sewer system as above provided, there shall be paid into
the Bond Fund created by the ~ter Revenue Certificate Ordinance
such amount of the remaining gross revenues in each fiscal year ~
will, together with revenues of the water system available for
such purpose, be fully sufficient to pay all principal of and.
interest on obligations payable from said fund falling due in
such fiscal year and to accumulate and maintain the reserve there~
in as hereinafter required. The bonds herein authorized shall be
payable from said Bond Fund as to principal and interest on a
parity with said Water Revenue Certificates, and there shall be
paid into the Bond Fund all accrued interest received from the
purchaser upon delivery of the bonds.
The payments herein required to be made into the Bond
Fund from the Sewer Revenue Fund shall be made monthly in such
amounts as will (with money available for the purpose from the
revenues of the water system) assure the existence of money fully
sufficient and available to pay principal and interest as they
fall due and to accumulate and maintai~ the reserve therein as
hereinafter required. All payments into the Bond Fund shall be
made monthly as herein provided by the Treasurer to the bank
holding said fund, and shall be held by said bank as a trust
account solely for the purpose of paying principal ef and
interest and redemption premiums on the Water Revenue Certif~cabez,
the bonds herein authorized and such obligations as may in the
future be issued on a parity therewith as herei~ter provided.
Said trust fund shall be continually secured to the fullest extent
permitted or required by the banking laws of the State of Florida

withdrawable by anyone for any purpose other than for the payment
of principal of and interest and redemption premiums on obliga-
tions payable t~refrom. It shall be the duty of said bank on
May 15 and November 15 of each year to transmit from the money in
said fund to the paying agent bank such amount as may be needed
for the payment of interest, or principal and interest, falling dt.e
on the next succeeding June I or December l, as the case may beo
From the money in the Water Revenue Fund and the Sew¢~'
Revenue Fund not expended for the cost of operating and mainta±nirg
the systems in each fiscal year and not paid into the Bond Fund ~1~
such fiscal year as above provided, there shall be paid in each
fiscal year into the Renewal and Replacement Fund created by the
Water Revenue Certificate Ordinance, as necessary to accumulate
maintain said fund in the amount of ~50,000.00, a sum equivalen~
to five per cent of the gross revenues derived from ~he operatio~
of both systems in the preceding fiscal year. Money in said fund
shall be used to pay the cost of making renewals, extensions,
replacements or improvements to the water system and, to ~he exter.t
not in conflict with the rights of the holders of the Water Revenue
Certificates, to the sewer system when the making thereof has beon
recommended by the engineer who is at the time serving as ~he
consulting engineer for said systems. Money in said fund shall
also be used for the purpose of paying principal or interest, or
both, payable from the Bond Fund falling due in any year for the
payment of which there is not money in the Bond Fund, including
the reserve therein, and as to which there would otherwise be
default. The money in the Renewal and Replacement Fund may, in
-14-
the discretion of the Council, be invested in direct obligations
of the United States of America maturing not later than five years
from date of purchase, in which event the obligations so acquired
shall be held to the credit of said fund. In the event money so
invested is needed for the purposes for which the fund is herein
created such investment shall be liquidated to the extent necessary.
When the amount in the Bond Fund, including the reserv~,
and in the Renewal and Replacement Fund shall in the aggregate be
equal to the amount of all principal and interest to maturity or
all principal and interest to the next redemption date plus re-
demption premiums then applicable on all obligations payable from
the Bond Fund which remain outstanding, further payments into said
funds may be discontinued, and the money in said funds shall be
used for retirement or redemption of such outstanding obligations.
All payments into the Sewer Revenue Fund shall be made
to the Delray Beach National Bank of Delray Beach, Florida, or
such other bank or banks as may be designated from time to time by
the Council of the City of Delray Beach, provided that any such
bank be a member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and
that all such funds so deposited be secured as required for muni-
cipal funds under the laws of the State of Florida. Such funds
shall be held by the said bank or banks in separate accounts to
be paid out only for the purposes and under the circumstances
herein provided. Nothing in this section shall be so construed
as to prevent the making of reimbursement to a subdivider from the
revenues received from the customers in any subdivision, before
any remaining revenues received from such customers are paid into
the Sewer Revenue Fund herein created pursuant to any agreement
between the city and any such subdivider executed prior to the
delivery of the bonds.

reserve portion of the Bon~ ~u,~d ~nder the Water Revenue Certificate
Ordinance, there ~hall be paid into said reserve such amount in each
fiscal year as will cause the reserve to be built up, in a period of
sixty months following the issuance of the bonds, to an amount equal
to the largest amount of principal and interest which will be payable
from the Bond Fund in any future twelve months' period, including
the bonds herein authorized. The reserve comprising such surplus
shall be maintained for the purpose of paying principal and interest
payable from the Bond Fund falling due in any year as to which there
would otherwise be default. If at any time it is necessary to use
moneys in said reserve for the payment of interest or principal, the
moneys so used shall be replaced from the first revenue thereafter
received from the operation of either system not required to be used
for maintenance and operation expenses and for the payment of current
principal and interest, it being the intention hereof that there
shall be maintained in the Bond Fund, in addition to the amount
required for payments during the current fiscal year, an amount
sufficient to pay the largest amount of principal and interest
payable from the Bond Fund in any future twelve months' period
as aforesaid. The money in the reserve may, in the discretion of
the Council, be invested in direct obligations of the United
States of America, maturing not later than five years from
date of purchase, in which event the obligations so acquired shall
be held to the credit of the Bond Fund, and in the event the money
in the reserve which has been so invested shall be needed for the
payment of principal or interest, the bank holding the Bond Fund
shall, without specific instructions from the city, liquidate as
many of the obligations so held as may be necessary and have the
proceeds of such liquidation applied to the payment of principal
and interest.
-16-
After all payments above required have been made in each
fiscal year, and any deficiencies which may exist from prior years
have been remedied, the money remaining in the Sewer Revenue Fund
shall be regarded as surplus and may be used for any lawful
corporate purpose, including the retirement or redemption prior to
maturity of any certificates or bonds payable from the Bond Fund
or as security pledged for any other obligations which the city
may hereafter issue for any purpose.

authorized remains outstanding, the city will maintain and carry,

properties of the water system and the sewer system of the kinds

in the operation of similar properties. The city will also carry
adequate public liability insurance. Ail moneys received for
losses under any such insurance policies, except public liability
policies, are hereby pledged by the City of Delray Beach as secur~ty
for the obligations payable from the revenues of the damaged
property until and unless such proceeds are paid out in making
good the loss or damage in respect of which such proceeds are
received, either by repairing the property damaged or replacing
the property destroyed, and adequate provision for making good such
loss and damage made within ninety days from the date of the loss.

sewer system, and that the holders of any of the bonds, or any duly
authorized agent or agents of such holders, shall have the right at
all reasonable times to inspect all records, accounts and data
relating thereto and to inspect the system and all properties
comprising the systems. The city further agrees that it will within
sixty days following the close of each fiscal year cause an audit of
such books and accounts to be made by an independent firm of
certified public accountants, showing the receipts and disbursements
for account of each system, and that such audit will be available
for inspection by the holder of any of the bonds. Each such audit
in addition to whatever matters may be thought proper by the

each fiscal year, and that any such holder shall have the right
to discuss with the accountant making the audit the contents of t~
audit and to ask for such additional information as he may reasonabl>'
require. The city further agrees that it will furnish the original
purchaser of the bonds and any holder, upon request, monthly

water and sewer service to each person or firm liable for the
payment of water and sewer charges and not to accept payment for
one type of service only. If any water user shall become delinquent
for more than sixty days in the payment of water and sewer charges,
