· A regular meeting of the City Council of Delray Beach was held
zn the Council Chambers at 8:00 P.M.,.with Mayor glenn B. Sundy in
the chair, City Manager George Mingle, City Attorney Richard F.
Zimmerman and Councilmen Charles H. Harbison, and ~eorge V. Warren
being present.
An opening prayer was delivered by the Rev. Marland Zimmerman.
Mayor Sundy announced that the submission of bids received for
construction of proposed City Hall would not be considered at this
meeting as had been planned as the City Attorney and the Architect
are checking over the bids.
On motion by Mr. Harbison, seconded by Mr. Warren and unanimously
carriec~ the minutes of August 8th, 1950, meeting were approved.
Under public requests from the floor, Mr. E. A. Schmidt referred
to a newspaper item of last week stating that Mayor Sundy had been in
correspondence with the owner of property that has been considered as
a possible location of the proposed Post Office, and Mayor Sundy
stated that he had not had correspondence with said property owner.
City Clerk Worthing informed the Council that a request had been
received to move four frame houses from Block 74 to the North 150 feet
of the South half of Block $9, ~wo to face S. W. 3rd Avenue and two
to face S. W. 4th Avenue} and, according to council policy, the
Building Inspector had sent notices to property owners in the vicinity
of Block 39 and that there had been several objections to the reloca-
tion of the~e four frame houses. The Building Inspector states that
these houses will meet the legal standards as established by our zon-
ing, plumbing and ele.c~ri~al codes and all other regulations and re-
quirements, and he reco_,~__ends that the relocation of these four frame
houses be allowed. Mayor Sund7 asked the City Attorney if according
to the City Code these houses could be moved without the approval by
the Council and was informed that if they met the zoning and building
code specifications and were approved by the Building Inspector.. that
they could be moved. Following discussion, Mr. Harbison moved that
the request to relocate these four frame houses be granted, subject to
proper bond. The motion was seconded by Mr. Warren and unanimously
carried.
Concerning the bids received for removal of the east-west wing
of the Scout Hut~ the Council was infomed that from several bids
solicited only one bid was received and it is considered to be in
excess of a reasonable charge for the work. It has been determined
by the Director of Public Works and the City Manager that the city
is in a position to do this work with city forces at an estimated
cost of ~850.00! therefore, it is recommended that no award be made
on this contrac~ and that the work be performed by city forces.
Mr. Warren moved that the one bid received be denied and that the
City Engineer be directed to do the work.. The motion was seconded by
Mr. PIarbison and carried unanil~ously.
Concerning air conditioning and heating c~ the second floor of
the Central Fire Station ~he following bids were 'received=
Hands rson-Hollowa7 $4,874.00
B0ynton Metal Craft, Inc. §,$95.00
Thermotrol Heating & Air
Conditioning 4,350.00
Island Sales & Service 4,646.5~
Modern Roofing Co. 4,876.90
AUGUST 22nd, 1960.
City Clerk Worthing also read the following memorandum from Pire
Chief Gregory:
"I recommend that the City purchase the General Electric
Air. Conditioning Equipment for Central Fire Station, due to the fact
that it is nationally known and an old established company and has
parts and servicemen available almost everywhere. The City has a
General Electric Unit in the North Water Plant Office Building in-
stalled for approximately two years that has given trouble-free
service. The General Electric bid is next to the lowest, with
Island Sales and Service bidding $4,646.52.
"The lowest bidder, Thermotrol Heating and Air Conditioning,
furnishing a bid of' $4,$50.00 sells equipment manufactured in Los
Angeles~ California, and is an unknown brand of air conditioning as
far as I am concerned."
Following comments from ~[r. Delevett of the Thermotrol Heating and
Air Conditioning and Mr. Van Treese of Island Sales and Service on
the operating cost and' service of the different makes of equipment
and general discussion, Mr. Warren moved that the .low bid be.accepted
and that the air conditioning and heating unit be ~nstalled in the
second floor of the Central Fire Station. Following further dis-
cussion Mr. Warren stated that his motion stands based on the quali-
fications of the bids that were received. Nayor Sundy then surrend-
ered the chair to Mr. Harbison and seconded the motion. Upon call of
roll Mr. Warren and Mayor Sundy voted in favor of the motion,
Mr. Harbison being oppose.d. The motion did not carry. Mr. Harbison
then moved that the low bid be accepted subject to amperage being as
stated by the representative of the low bidder The motion was
seconded by Mr. Warren and carried unanimouslyl (See 'Amendment to the
above paragraph on Page 225. )
City Clerk Worthing informed the Council of a request for water
extension outside the city limits from Mr. Alfons Bach for a 200-foot
extension from an existing 6" water main at the intersection of N.E.
8th Street and Palm Trail to serve proposed apartment buildings in
Palm Trail Plaza. Since this is an industrial use and according to
the city's policy in such matt?rs, it must be acted upon by the
Council. The Director of Publzc Works' memorandum states that there
is sufficient, surplus of'water at this ppint to take care of the re-
quested service; however, if and when thxs area' is eventually annexed
into the city, and fire protection is requested, the system will hav~
to be strengthened by tying in the 6" water main running down Palm
Trail with a larger main further south. Mr. Bach agrees to pay all
costs of this 200-foot water main extension. It was moved by Mr.
Harbison, seconded by Mr. Warren and unanimously carried that the
request be granted.
City Clerk Worthing informed the Council of petitions received,
signed by property owners, concerning the opening, grading and paving
of N. W. 7th Avenue from Atlantic Avenue to tst Street and S. W. 7th
Avenue from Atlantic Avenue to 2nd Street, and also stated that the
Council may want to consider including one' more block to the north
from N. W. 1st to 2nd Street on ?th Avenue, but since the Director of
Public Works had somewhat improved that right-of-way during the past
year it may be determined that further improvement thereof is not
needed at this time. It is recommended that the petitions be re-
ferred to the Director of Public Works for his review and recommenda-
tions to the council not later than the next regular meeting, also
that the block to the north be studied at the same time. Mr. Harbison
moved that this item be referred to the Director of Public Works for
study and recommendation. Motion was seconded by Mr. Warren and
carried unanimous ly.
On August 8th, Resolution No. 1267 was passed and adopted,
ordering the construction of a sidewalk on a part of N. E. 8th Street
and part of N. E. 8th Avenue. Legal advertisement thereof provided
for a public hearing to be held this evening for the purpose of allow-
ing any owner of property abutting thereon to object. There being no
objections, Resolution No. 1268 was in order to be read:

adoption of Ordinance N. G-366 on the grounds that ordinance amend-
ments should be based on the general welfare, health and morals of
the public, also that it could work a hardship case for his father
who owns rental property in an existing liquor zoned area. Following

until the next regular meeting for further consideration. The motion
was seconded by Mr. Harbison and unanimously carried.
