this day, in consideration of the above matter, concluded
that for the best interest of the City and the Western
Sector in particular, the said application should be denied'.

is not in keeping with the over-all improvement ~program planned
for this Sector by the City. The committee objects to the
g~anting of this application and strongly urges that the
same be denied."

agent of record should be appointed but it had never been brought
to a conclusion and that the following letter had been received

surance Agency to be your Agent of Record on insurance
matters for a term of five years. This appointment is,
of course, subject to your approval.
"The Amlin Agency is prepared to supervise the Fire and
Casualty Insurance Program of the City of Delray Beach
and we are sure will give you excellent professional
service. The other Agents, of course, are prepared and
will be most happy to give him any and all cooperation
he may desire."

ly carried to appoint the Amlin Insurance Agency in keeping with this

Construction Company of West Palm Beach after the time for submis-
sion of bids had expired and during the period that the bids sub-
mitted were being opened in the presence of four members of the

that bid was not considered nor made a matter of this tabulation of
bids received.
Mr. Thayer then reviewed the fact that earlier this year the
Council appropriated $100,000.00 for a Community Center and after
consultation of the architectural committee and members of the Council
with the architect it was pointed out that for that sum of money there
might be a sacrifice in the quality of construction so after some de-
liberation the Council then appropriated an additional $30,000.00.
Mr. Thayer further stated: "During the past week after reviewing
these bids, members of your committee discussed with the architect
any way in which perhaps the amount of money to be spent could be
cut down without sacrificing the size of the building or the basic
qualities of it and this afternoon before this meeting we met with
'the Architect, Mr. Simon, who pointed out that without any sacrifice
to the size or basic quality of the building he believes that with
certain specifications, modified specifications, as to finish and
some other specifications we could get a building for the amount of
money that we can spend." Mr. Thayer then moved that all bids
received be rejecte4, The motion was seconded by Mr. Campbell and
carried unanimously.
Mr. Thayer al~O moved that the Architects recommendations and
specifications be submitted for bids on the construction of the
· Community Center and that there be no change in the basic plans,
only in the recommendatiqns as to finish and certain other recommend-
ations he has made with the understanding that the amount of money
to be spent is not to exceed $130,000.00. The motion was seconded by
Mr. Campbell and carried unanimously.

thought in mind that they may come up with some amendment. Their

Council on August 8th at which time the matter was tabled until such
time as the Chief of Police had time to study the proposals and sub-
mit his comments and recommendations. Mr. Worthing read the follow-
ing memorandum from Chief Croft to the City Manager dated September
20th:
"I have no objections at this time, not knowing what the
ordinance may consist of, to the Police Department or my-
self making a survey as to the need for house trailers
being permitted under certain circumstances. However,
I feel that in most cases two opinions are better than
one. I would suggest the Building InspectOr be included
in this recommendation."

porating the recommendations of the Planning Board and prepared by
the City Attorney as follows:

the City ~anager amd department heads of an emergency plan that would..
be put into operation when needed, such need having been experienced
recently by the abnormal winds and rain. Mr. Campbell moved that the
City Manager be instructed to immediately set up an emergency plan
whereby all departments that should be involved, Police, Fire, and
Public Works, would move in without further instructions. The motion
was seconded by Mr. Thayer and carried unanimousl~
Mr. Campbell stated that a few weeks ago the council authorized
the City Manager to take whatever steps were necessary to clean up the

need for it to be done again. Mr. Campbell then moved that the City
Manager be authorized to spend whatever is necessary to get the town
cleaned up fast. The motion was seconded by Mr. Harbison and carried

their report .to the council. Following discussion Mr. Harbison moved
