Mr. Eliopoulos asked staff to discuss the history of the project.
Richard Hasko, Director of Environmental Services, stated this project
started out a few years ago on a much smaller scale. Mr. Hasko stated it was a bond
project that had a $300,000.00 budget and initially the scope of the project was to create a
pedestrian connection between Pompey Park and the Community Center. He stated staff
had the idea to do some sidewalk improvements (i.e. excerpts from Dr. Martin Luther
King's famous speeches, etc.). Mr. Hasko stated the neighborhood had requested that
additional improvements be done such as street lighting, beautification, landscaping,
curbing, and hardscaping. He stated there was a committee that was assembled that met
over the course of a year or so that put this scope together. Mr. Hasko stated funding
them became an issue and there were some grants that were awarded and the City is
4
11 /02 /10
receiving money from Palm Beach County for the street lights, etc. Mr. Hasko stated
there was an issue with who was going to pay for the irrigation water and a number of
alternatives were discussed about how that was going to work. Mr. Hasko stated the
CRA stepped up and said that they would pay for the irrigation water for the stretch of
improvements. He stated staff looked at the area and saw that in the Master Plan for
Reclaimed Water they were planning to come to Pompey Park, Spady, City Attorney's
office, City Hall, the Community Center, etc. at some point in the fixture. Mr. Hasko
stated this seemed like a good opportunity to kill two birds with one stone in terms of
going ahead and advancing that project and adding to it so that staff could include the
reclaimed irrigation facilities and also in the future get to the City facilities. He stated at
that point the plans were done and the engineering consultant was working on the bid
documents. Mr. Hasko stated staff had written into the bid documents that the successful
bidder for the original scope would be required to solicit a minimum of three quotes from
contractors that were on the City's pre - qualified list for this scope.
Brief discussion between Commissioner Eliopoulos and Mr. Hasko
followed.
The City Manager stated by doing this now they will avoid tearing up the
area in the future.
Mrs. Gray stated these plans have been in place for approximately 4 -5
years and she is happy to see that we are moving forward with this. Mrs. Gray asked if
this is approved when will the work actually start. Mr. Hasko stated the contractor is
scheduled to start November 15, 2010.
Mr. Eliopoulos moved to approve Item 9.A.A. (formerly Item 8.C.),
seconded by Mrs. Gray. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Eliopoulos
— Yes; Mr. Fetzer — Yes; Mr. Frankel — Yes; Mrs. Gray — Yes; Mayor MCDuffie — Yes.
Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
9.A. CONSIDERATION OF AN APPEAL /125 SEABREEZE
AVENUE: Consider an appeal of an administrative interpretation by the Director of
Planning & Zoning that a proposed single family residence within the North Beach
Overlay District at 125 Seabreeze Avenue is a two story building. (Quasi - Judicial
Hearing)
Mayor McDuffie read the City of Delray Beach procedures for a Quasi -
Judicial Hearing into the record for this item and all subsequent Quasi - Judicial items.
Chevelle D. Nubin, City Clerk, swore in those individuals who wished to
give testimony on this item.
Mayor McDuffie asked the Commission to disclose their ex parte
communications. Mr. Frankel stated he met with the architect Mr. Jeffrey Silberstein.
Mrs. Gray had no ex parte communications to disclose. Mayor McDuffie stated he met
5
11/02/10
with Mr. Jeffrey Silberstein to discuss this project. Mr. Eliopoulos stated he met with the
architect and he discussed his views on how he viewed the two -story versus one - story.
Mr. Fetzer stated he spoke with the architect and he listened to his explanation of the
project.
Paul Dorling, Director of Planning and Zoning, entered the Planning and
Zoning Department project file #2010 -207 into the record.
Mr. Dorling stated the site in question is located north of Atlantic Avenue.
He stated there will be a tear down of the structure and a reconstruction of a new
structure. Mr. Dorling stated there was an interpretation made by him that is being
appealed that the piece is in fact two stories. Mr. Dorling stated what is proposed is a
first floor and a loft area. Mr. Dorling stated this property lies within the North Beach
Overlay District which talks about mass and scale and this was added in a situation where
there was a one -story structure that was in volume greater than one -story and said that if
you had a single -story and you were greater than 14 feet to the top of the beam or 18 feet
to the mean profile of the roof then you would be considered a two -story even if you
were physically a one - story. Mr. Dorling stated this does not say if you are a two -story
and also meet these dimensions that you are not a two -story and that fundamentally is the
issue because the applicant is able to meet these minimums with a two -story and
therefore is assuming that he is only a one - story. Mr. Dorling stated a one -story single
story structure has a different requirement as it relates to maximum lot area and
maximum open space. He stated the applicant has designed it like a single- story;
however, in doing so, has maxed out the site and does not meet the criteria for open space
and maximum lot area if he were considered a two- story.
Jeffrey Silberstein Architect with Silberstein Architecture 524 N.E.
2na Street Delray Beach FL 33483 (Applicant), stated he is present this evening to
appeal the interpretation as made by the Planning and Zoning Director and noted on
September 21, 2010, the Planning and Zoning Director determined that Section I.A., First
Floor Height Limits of the Beach Property Owners Design Manual is intended to
establish guidelines which assure that one -story structures which exceed certain heights
(in excess of 18 feet and measuring more than 14 feet from the finished floor) are
considered two stories. This is not to be construed nor interpreted to say that any two
story building that is below these dimensions is considered a one story structure as
interpreted by the project's architect. Mr. Silberstein stated Urban Design Kilday
Studios' (consultant that reviews the architectural submittals for this district)
interpretation: is that "The Beach Property Owners Design Manual does not make the
determinations as to interior use of space within one -story structures, and a loft space
would not be' interpreted as if creating a multi -story structure and if a structure meets the
one -story height dimensions as provided for on Page 1 -2, no multi -story regulations
would be imposed on the structure." This submittal was also presented to the City's Plan
Reviewer and his opinion was that he did not consider this a multi -story structure. Mr.
Silberstein stated the issue that is most important to this district is if they meet the intent
of the Code and he believes they do. Mr. Silberstein stated the Code encourages people
to design one -story structures and if they cannot do that they are going to be penalized by
11/02/10
having to provide more setbacks and more open space. Mr. Silberstein stated he believes
this does meet the Code and thanked the Commission for their consideration.
Mayor McDuffie stated if anyone would like to speak in favor or in
opposition of the appeal, to please come forward at this time.
Andy Katz, speaking on behalf of the Beach Property Owners'
Association, stated they have the guidelines to protect the neighborhood and it provides a
tremendous amount of leeway in terms of style, color, etc. He stated sometimes there are
situations where something may squeeze through with an ambiguity and this was not
intended when these guidelines were being developed. Mr. Katz stated in terms of height
it would pass as one -story if it was internal loft space it would be on the border line and
stated there are two separate levels (the garage and the loft). Mr. Katz made reference to
a design in the Historic District for Nassau Street that was labeled by the architect as 2 '/2
stories and it went through under 2 -story rules even though it was 3 stories. He stated we
get into strange situations when we do not look at something in its simplicity and feels we
are in this situation now.
There being no one else from the public who wished to address the
Commissionxegarding the appeal, the public hearing was closed.
There was no cross - examination or rebuttal.
The City Attorney briefly reviewed the Board Order with the Commission
who made findings according to their consensus (attached hereto is a copy and made an
official part of the minutes).
Mr. Frankel moved to adopt the Board Order as presented, seconded by
Mr. Fetzer. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Fetzer — Yes; Mr.
Frankel --W Yes; Mrs. Gray — No; Mayor McDuffie — Yes; Mr. Eliopoulos -- Yes. Said
motion passed with a 4 to 1 vote, Commissioner Gray dissenting.
9.B. CONDITIONAL USE RE UESTITHE HARTMAN HOUSE:
Consider approval to allow the establishment of a bed and breakfast inri within the
Medium Density Residential (RM) zoning district for the property located at 302 N.E. 7th
Avenue, Individually Designated on the Local Register of Historic Places as The
Hartman House. (Quasi - Judicial Hearing)
Chevelle D. Nubin, City Clerk, swore in those individuals who wished to
give testimony on this item.
Mayor McDuffie asked the Commission to disclose their ex parte
communications. The Commission had no ex parte communications to disclose.
Paul Darling, Director of Planning and Zoning, entered the Planning and
Zoning Department project file #2010 -230 into the record.
7
11/02/10
Mr. Dorling stated this is a consideration of a conditional use request to
establish a Bed and Breakfast Inn at 302 N.E. 7th Avenue, an individually designated site
on the Local Register of Historic Places located in an RM (Multiple Family Residential,
Medium Density) zoning district. The subject property is a 0.314 acre site at the
northwest corner of N.E. 7t' Avenue and N.E. 3`d Street and contains a 2,752 square foot
structure known as the Hartman House which is a Frame Vernacular style single- family
residence constructed in 1923 and has remained vacant for a number of years. The
property owners are seeking conversion of the single - family residence to a Bed and
Breakfast Inn, which is allowed by conditional use under the Multi- Family Residential
(RM) zoning designation. Mr. Darling stated the proposal is to accommodate the bed and
breakfast guests in the main structure and as required by Code the owners of the facility
would have to live on -site and they would be living under a new structure which is
currently under construction. The improvements also include parking along and off the
alley, construction of a lap pool, and landscaping improvements throughout the site. Mr.
Dorling stated the subject request meets all of the special requirements that were placed
in the Bed and Breakfast ordinance that the Commission recently adopted.
At its meeting of October 6, 2010, the Historic Preservation Board (HPB)
reviewed the request and recommended approval to the Planning and Zoning Board with
a 6 to 0 vote; at its meeting of October 18, 2010, the Planning and Zoning Board
reviewed the request and recommended approval with a 5 to 1 vote, subject to the three
conditions: (1) that the requirements of LDR Section 4.3.3(Y), Bed and Breakfast Inns
be met at all times, (2) that the parking space and alley measurement be adjusted by an
additional two feet to provide a combined minimum depth of 40 feet and (3) that
Engineering Plans and a Traffic Statement be submitted for review with the Site Plan
Application. Staff recommends approval.
Roger Cope, Cope Architects, Inc., 80 N.E. 4th Avenue, Delray Beach,
FL 33483, stated they are taking the Hartman House, an individually historic piece of
property, and exercising one of the privileges that come along with that which is the
development of Delray Beach's first Bed and Breakfast Inn. Mr. Cope urged the
Commission's support so that they can change the use of the property from single- family
to bed and breakfast. He stated this will be landscaped and well lit.
Mayor McDuffie stated if anyone from the public would like to speak in
favor or in opposition of the conditional use request, the public hearing was closed.
There was no cross- examination or rebuttal.
Mr. Eliopoulos stated this works with the neighborhood and will benefit
the entire community.
Mayor McDuffie stated this has been a long time coming in Delray Beach
and commended the Applicant because he believes this is a great step forward for the
City of Delray Beach.

Eliopoulos had no ex parte communications to disclose.
Scott Aronson, Parking Management Specialist, stated this is a request for
a site plan modification for Bright Horizons d/b /a 32 East, a restaurant located at 32 East
Atlantic Avenue. Mr. Aronson stated the modification proposed is a 241 square foot
balcony and the intent of the balcony is two -fold; providing a convenient outdoor area for
attendees of functions held in the banquet room on the second floor and to improve
shelter from the elements, beyond that of the current slatted canopy, for diners seated at
the sidewalk cafe. The subject property is located in Area 2 of the in -lieu program at
$15,600.00 per space. Mr. Aronson stated the owner is opting to pay for the space with
the Parking Fee Agreement which requires 50% payment upon signing the agreement and
two 25% payments on the second and third anniversaries of the agreement. Mr. Aronson
stated Comprehensive Plan Policy C -4.1 of the Future Land Use Element encourages the
rehabilitation and revitalization of the Central Business District (CBD) through several

$6,500.00 - $8,000.00 a year and noted that most people only want to pay $50.00 - $75.00.
He stated they get annual giving miscellaneous gifts $1,500.00- $5,000.00 here and there.
Brief discussion followed between the Commission and Mr. Stanley.
Mrs. Gray asked what the City will do with the bungalow. Mr. Barcinski
stated the City has some people looking at that including the CRA seeing about the
possibility of renting that to someone that would bring some revenue in. Mr. Barcinski
stated the other thing that staff is looking into is the train station and the CRA is getting
estimates on how much that is worth.
The City Manager stated when he first came to Delray Beach the City was
giving an operating grant to the Delray Beach Historical Society for approximately
$10,000.00. He stated the Historical Society started the Antique Show and it was so
successful that they have not come to the City for support in almost 20 years.
Mrs. Gray asked if the Commission supports Plan A (part time position
budget) where would those dollars come from. The City Manager stated staff would
address that at mid -year.
Mayor McDuffie stated we need to reach out to the community and ask
them if they would not mind supporting the cause that so many people speak about with
regard to the history of this community.
Mr. Frankel moved to approve Amendment No. 3 to the Renewal Lease

Gray — Yes; Mayor McDuffie --- Yes; Mr. Eliopoulos -- Yes; Mr. Fetzer — Yes. Said
motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
At this point, the time being 7:15 p.m., the Commission moved to the duly
advertised Public Hearings portion of the Agenda.
10. PUBLIC HEARINGS:
10.A. ORDINANCE NO. 37 -10: Consider a city initiated amendment to the
Land Development Regulations (LDR) Section 6.3.3., "Sidewalk Cafe", amending the
regulations.
The caption of Ordinance No. 3 7- 10 is as follows:
12
11/02/10
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING
THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS OF THE
CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, BY AMENDING SECTION
63.3, "SIDEWALK CAFE "; TO PROVIDE
CLARIFICATION ON SIDEWALK CAFES; PROVIDING
A SAVING CLAUSE, A GENERAL REPEALER CLAUSE,
AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
(The official copy of Ordinance No. 37 -10 is on file in the City Clerk's
office.)
The City Attorney read the caption of the ordinance. A public hearing was
held having been legally advertised in compliance with the laws of the State of Florida
and the Charter of the City of Delray Beach, Florida.
Paul Dorling, AICP, Director of Planning and Zoning, stated this modifies
the sidewalk cafe ordinance in particular it indicates where they can locate and what
businesses can utilize sidewalk cafes and also provides minimum setbacks from vehicular
travel lanes and outlines certain operational functions that are prohibited within the
sidewalk cafe area. Mr. Dorling stated it also increases the application permit and
penalty fees associated with the use.
At its meeting of September 23, 2010, the Community Redevelopment
Agency (CRA) considered the amendment and they felt that the increase in fees should
be limited to 30% and what is being proposed is a 50% increase. Staff has not included
that in the ordinance before the Commission; however, staff feels the 50% is appropriate.
Mr. Dorling stated the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) indicated that they
wanted a five foot clear area as opposed to six feet which was in their ordinance and it
was a typographical error and this has been modified and reflected in the current
ordinance. At its meeting of September 20, 2010, the Planning and Zoning Board
considered the amendment and recommended approval with a vote of 7 to 0. The Board
discussed the ability to have markers placed in the sidewalks. Staff discussed this at the
first reading of this ordinance and that is not included in this ordinance for reasons staff
stated then. The Board also advised that staff should notify applicants to provide public
safety measures as part of their application. On October 5, 2010, the Commission
directed staff to add this section as it relates to the two foot setback adjacent to the right -
of -way and that has been included and the City Commission recommended approval on
first reading on October 19, 2010.
Mayor McDuffie declared the public hearing open..
Alice Finst 747 Place Tavant Delray Beach FL 33445 expressed
concern over the time that it takes something to get from initial conversation to final
reading and stated she came to the City Commission meeting on February 2, 2010 to
bring the issue about the markers in the street to the Commission and was told it would
be processed to the Planning and Zoning Board by April 2010 and nothing happened.
13
11/02/10
Mrs. Finst stated she came before the City Commission on June 15, 2010 and she was
told that it would be taken care of in the next couple of weeks but nothing was done. She
stated it showed up at the Planning and Zoning Board meeting on September 20, 2010
and the Board strongly recommended the markers. Mrs. Finst stated she is very much in
favor of the markers. She stated there are other ways to indicate where the markers are
such as a distance from the grates where the trees are on the building side and go from the
five feet there. Mrs. Finst made reference to Section (F)(1) of the ordinance and stated it
limits to what is going on as the main sole purpose yet some businesses have put seating
areas under awnings outside their businesses and even though their main sole purpose is
not as a restaurant what will happen to those people who have been kind enough such as
Nutrition Cottage which has an eating area inside but does not have a serving area
outside. Mrs. Finst made reference to Section (F)(2) regarding the nodes and stated if she
is understanding this correctly there is not going to be any seating allowed next to the
nodes and asked what happens to Linda Bean's and The Bull Bar since these restaurants
are sitting by nodes. Mrs. Finst stated Section (17)(5) states that you may require more
space than five (5) feet and asked who is going to have their space narrowed down or
who is going to widen the sidewalk. Mrs. Finst asked for an explanation of Section
(F)(b) A "No Table Zone" and who will be affected. She also made reference to Section
(F)(7) and stated since there is no reference to markers she suggested that the City come
up with a plan based on where the tree grades are and asked who is going to enforce all of
this. Mrs. Finst stated we have to consider safety in many of these issues along Atlantic
Avenue on the side streets. Mrs. Finst reiterated that there should be a way to put down
the markers.
There being no one else from the public who wished to address the
Commission regarding Ordinance No. 37 -10, the public hearing was closed.
Mayor McDuffie asked if there was something problematic in the
experience with permanent markers. Mr. Dorling stated there was concern about putting
something like that in the ground and becoming a tripping hazard. Lula Butler, Director
of Community Improvement, stated the markers did not work and sidewalk cafes do
change. Mr. Dorling stated there was some concern about the sole purpose with Section
(F)(1) of the ordinance and that was to address an issue that is becoming more prevalent
where you have a business that is not a deli but more a restaurant coming in and
requesting a sidewalk cafe and they have a coffee shop and an art gallery and then want
tables outside. Mr. Dorling stated with this ordinance that would not be allowed. Mr.
Dorling stated Code Enforcement enforces during the day and Clean and Safe enforces at
night. Mr. Darling stated with respect to the landscape nodes that language is being
eliminated.
Mrs. Butler stated she researched other cities that have sidewalk cafe
ordinances and has not found any using markers. She stated other cities use barriers.
Mr. Frankel stated Atlantic Avenue was just voted the best Avenue in the
state and feels the safety issues have been addressed.
14
11 /02 /10
Mr. Eliopoulos stated he supports this ordinance.
Mrs. Gray thanked staff for all their hard work on the ordinance.
Mayor McDuffie stated this is a great step forward.
There being no one else from the public who wished to address the
Commission regarding Ordinance No. 37 -10, the public hearing was closed.
Mr. Frankel moved to adopt Ordinance No. 37 -10 on Second and FINAL
Reading, seconded by Mrs. Gray. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr.
Frankel — Yes; Mrs. Gray — Yes; Mayor McDuffie — Yes; Mr. Eliopoulos -- Yes; Mr.
Fetzer — Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
At this point, the Commission moved to Item 11, Comments and
Inquiries on Non - Agenda Items from the City Manager and the Public.
II.A. City Manager's response to prior public comments and inquiries.
The City Manager had no response to prior public comments and
inquiries.
I LB. From the Public.
None.
At this point, the time being 7:30 p.m., the Commission moved to Item
12, First Readings.
12. FIRST READINGS:
12.A. ORDINANCE NO. 38 -10: Consider amending Chapter 33, "Police and
Fire- Rescue Departments ", Section 33.65, "Administration ", to modify the board member
designations for Fire Chief and Police Chief. If passed, a public hearing will be held on
November 16, 2010.
The caption of Ordinance No. 38 -10 is as follows:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA,
AMENDING CHAPTER 33, "POLICE AND FIRE -
RESCUE DEPARTMENTS ", SECTION, 33.65,
"ADMINISTRATION ", TO MODIFY THE BOARD
MEMBER DESIGNATIONS FOR FIRE CHIEF AND
POLICE CHIEF; PROVIDING A SAVING CLAUSE, A
GENERAL REPEALER CLAUSE, AND AN EFFECTIVE
DATE.
15
11/02/10
(The official copy of Ordinance No. 38 -10 is on file in the City Clerk's
office.)
The City Attorney read the caption of the ordinance.
The City Attorney stated he received a letter from the Chair of the Police
and Fire Pension Board requesting this change. Currently the ordinance is set up where
the Police Chief or Fire Chief has to sit on the Board and they cannot appoint a designee
if they are members of the plan. The City Attorney stated what this ordinance would
allow them to do is that even if they are members of plan the Police Chief and Fire Chief
could appoint a designee if they do not desire to sit on the Police and Fire Pension Board.
The City Manager recommends that the Commission not support the
ordinance because he feels it is in the City's best interest to have the Chiefs sit on the
Board if they are eligible to do so. The City Manager stated we have had a couple of
Chiefs that have not been members and therefore have not sat on the Board. The City
Manager stated Chief Strianese plans to start attending the Board meetings, and in his
opinion, Chief Strianese should sit on the Board as well.
Mr. Eliopoulos stated sometimes these meetings go on for four hours and
asked if it would be better if the Chief would be better at doing something else. The City
Manager stated considering the amount of money involved you are talking about
approximately $100,000,000.00 plus there is an actuarial deficiency of approximately
$65,000,000.00 which exceeds the annual budget. The City Manager stated there needs
to be an executive level person sitting on this Board when they are legally able to do so.
Mr. Fetzer concurred with the City Manager's recommendation and
supports denying the ordinance,
'Mr. Frankel stated he has been a member of the Board for approximately
three years and he does not recall either the Fire Chief or the Police Chief ever attending
a meeting.
The City Manager stated the Board has a fiduciary responsibility to
manage the assets and the fund appropriately and they are also responsible for
interpreting the Code as it applies to a situation where people want to retire and they are
claiming disability or determining what their retirement benefit will be.
Mr. Frankel stated part of that fiduciary responsibility is education and he
recently took his advanced test where he is certified by FPPTA (Florida Public Pension
Trustees Association) to act as a fiduciary. He stated this would also be more time taken
by the Fire Chief or Police Chief to be educated on everything that is going on.
16
11/02/10
Mayor McDuffie stated if that does occur he feels there should be some
level of specificity of who the Chief designates. Mayor McDuffie stated he concurs with
the City Manager that we need a higher ranking person from each organization of this
Board because we are talking about $165,000,000.00 of the public's money.
Mr. Eliopoulos moved to approve Ordinance No, 38 -10 on FIRST
Reading, seconded by Mr. Frankel. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows:
Mrs. Gray — Yes; Mayor McDuffie -- No; Mr. Eliopoulos — No; Mr. Fetzer — No; Mr.
Frankel — Yes. Said motion to approve was DENIED with a 3 to 2 vote, Commissioner
Gray and Commissioner Frankel dissenting.
12.11. ORDINANCE NO. 40 -10: Consider calling for a referendum on
proposed revisions to the Charter of the City of Delray Beach to amend Article III,
"Legislative ", Section 3.02, "City Commission: Composition, Eligibility, Election, and
Terms "; and amend Article V. "Elections ", Section 5.02, "Types of Elections "; to provide
for a change in the length of a term from a two (2) year term to a three (3) year term;
providing for a referendum election to be held on March 8, 2011. If passed, a public
hearing will be held on November 16, 2010.
The caption of Ordinance No. 40 -10 is as follows:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA,
PROVIDING FOR REVISIONS TO THE CHARTER OF
THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH BY AMENDING
ARTICLE III, "LEGISLATIVE ", SECTION 3.02, "CITY
COMMISSION: COMPOSITION, ELIGIBILITY,
ELECTION, AND TERMS "; AMENDING ARTICLE V,
"ELECTIONS ", SECTION 5.02, "TYPES OF
ELECTIONS "; TO PROVIDE FOR A CHANGE IN THE
LENGTH OF A TERM FROM A TWO YEAR TERM TO
A THREE YEAR TERM; PROVIDING FOR A
REFERENDUM ELECTION TO BE HELD ON MARCH
8, 2011; PROVIDING A REPEALER CLAUSE, A
SAVING CLAUSE, AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
(The official copy of Ordinance No. 40 -10 is on file in the City Clerk's
office.)
The City Attorney read the caption of the ordinance and stated at its
Workshop meeting of June 8, 2010, the City Commission indicated their preference to go
to try to move to a three year term and the preference of moving forward with the
Election in March 2011 for it to be effective for March 2012.
17
11/02/10
Mr. Fetzer stated he missed that Workshop and he sent a memo to the City
Attorney about his position. Mr. Fetzer stated he supports going to three year terms
because he feels it makes sense. He stated Boca and Boynton have done the same thing
and he feels it may help us save in the cost of an election. Mr. Fetzer stated he does not
want to bring this to the voters where it would affect any of the existing City
Commissioners terms and will vote against it on that basis.
The City Attorney stated it will affect two seats because at the June
Workshop meeting it was presented where if we have it adopted March 2012 to take
effect then it could potentially affect two of the current Commissioners. The City
Attorney stated in order to have it not do that staff would have to extend it out by two
more years (2015).
Mr. Eliopoulos agrees with the two three year terms because of the added
benefit of possibly eliminating an election to save money. However, Mr. Eliopoulos
stated he will not support this because he feels we need to have a Charter Review
Committee review everything.
Mrs. Gray stated this may affect a Commissioner at one point or another
whether the Commission votes on this now or in the next two years. Mrs. Gray asked
how much money the City will save in one year. The City Clerk stated the City usually
spends $35,000.00 - $38,000.00 on an election in one year. Mrs. Gray stated she supports
the change to the terms of the Commission.
Mr. Frankel stated he is not in favor of term limits but for the money
savings he feels this is a good thing. He stated the fact that Boca and Boynton as well as
numerous other communities have three or four year terms he feels this ordinance is
appropriate.
Mayor McDuffie stated he has been in favor of this for more than saving
money for the City although that is an important criteria but the other part is the
productivity of the City Commission. He stated if the Commission wants to make it to
the point where it does not affect any Commissioner they would just have to go back and
take a look at what date to make it effective.
Mr. Frankel moved to approve Ordinance No. 40-10 on FIRST Reading,
seconded by Mrs. Gray. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mayor
McDuffie — Yes; Mr. Eliopoulos — No; Mr. Fetzer — No; Mr. Frankel — Yes; Mrs. Gray —
Yes. Said motion passed with a 3 to 2 vote, Commissioner Eliopoulos and Commissioner
Fetzer dissenting.
At this point, the time being 7:49 p.m., the Commission moved back to
Item 9.G. of the Regular Agenda.
18
11/02/10
9.G. : APPOINTMENT TO THE POLICE ADVISORY BOARD: Appoint
one (1) regular member to the Police Advisory Board for an unexpired term ending July
31, 2012. Based upon the rotation system, the appointment will be made by
Commissioner Frankel (Seat #3).
Mr. Frankel stated he would like to defer his appointment to the regular
meeting of November 16, 2010.
9.11. APPOINTMENTS TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD ADVISORY
COUNCIL: Appoint one (1) regular member (for Zone 3) to the Neighborhood
Advisory Council to serve a three (3) year term ending July 31, 2013 and one (1) regular
member (for Zone 1) to serve an unexpired term ending July 31, 2013. Based upon the
rotation system, the appointments will be made by Mayor McDuff e (Seat #5) and
Commissioner Fetzer (Seat 42).
Mayor McDuffie stated he wished to reappoint Linda Laurence -Leib as a
regular member to serve on the Neighborhood Advisory Council to serve a three (3) year
term ending July 31, 2013. Mr. Frankel so moved, seconded by Mrs. Gray. Upon roll
call the Commission voted as follows: Mayor McDuffie — Yes; Mr. Eliopoulos — Yes;
Mr. Fetzer — Yes; Mr. Frankel — Yes; Mrs. Gray — Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0
vote.
Mr. Fetzer stated he would like to defer his appointment to the next
regular meeting of November 16, 2010.
At this point, the Commission moved to Item 13, Comments and
Inquiries on Non - Agenda Items from the City Manager, the City Attorney, and the
City Commission.
13. COMMENTS AND INQUIRIES ON NON - AGENDA ITEMS.
13.A. City Manager
The City Manager stated Milena Walinski is the Interim Finance Director
and staff received over 80 applicants for the Finance Director position that meet the
minimum requirements. The City Manager stated staff will be going through the
applications and hopefully making a choice by the end of the month and certainly before
the end of the year.
13.B. City Attorney
The City Attorney had no comments or inquiries on non - agenda items.
19
11/02/10
O.C. City Commission
13.C.1. Mr. Fetzer
Mr. Fetzer had no comments or inquiries on non - agenda items.
13.C.2. Mr. Eliopoulos
Mr. Eliopoulos asked the City Manager about the follow -up to the request
he had on the. Waste Management analysis and would like the City's explanation of how
it occurred.
Secondly, Mr. Eliopoulos stated he attended the Segway Tours Ribbon
Cutting Ceremony last week and feels we need to notify the Chamber to see if they have
licenses to operate in the City.
Mr. Eliopoulos commented on the Bed Race and stated it was a decent
turnout.
Mr. Eliopoulos stated Mrs. Gray attended the Atlantic Community High
School Eagle Nest 2 Ground Breaking and did a good job speaking on behalf of the City
and the Mayor.
Lastly, Mr. Eliopoulos stated if you go to Federal Highway where the
townhouses are located and when you get to that intersection (corner of N.E. I" and the
two -way pairs) and turn north you cannot see because of the landscaping. Mr. Eliopoulos
stated if you look southbound it is hard to see cars coming. The City Manager stated this
is on 6th and Federal Highway.
13.C.3. Mrs. Gray
Mrs. Gray stated on November 20, 2010 Cooper Union College of
Engineering and Art will be doing clinics for the girls basketball at Pompey Park as well
as doing a volleyball clinic on Friday, November 19, 2010. Mrs. Gray stated the clinic
has been running for approximately 6 -7 weeks for girls' ages 8 -15 years old.
Secondly, Mrs. Gray asked the City Manager about the Community
Redevelopment (CRA) Agency and the City Disparity Study. The City Manager stated
he does not know what the CRA is planning and at this point staff has no plans to do
anything. Mrs. Gray asked if staff could look into having this done. The City Manager
stated he questions the value of it; however, he can send Mrs, Gray what he sent to
Commissioner Fetzer and if the Commission still wishes to have it done then staff can
have this done. The City Manager stated it implies an assumption that you are going to
then make some allocation to a minority and the contractors about the City's business.
The City Manager stated he feels the City is better off to try to educate and train people to
compete and if they get all our business that is great rather than going through a process
NX
11/02/10
that ends up having to set aside. The City Manager stated Susan Ruby had raised some
legal questions about going that route. The City Attorney stated there may be some
issues with staff trying to do that.
Mayor McDuffie stated the City needs to get that information out to the
public and also get the statistics out on the percentage of the contracts. The City
Manager stated in talking with the Purchasing Manager some of the people complaining
were not on the bidders list at the time and there are some things that we need to better
educate people about so that they can compete on bidding for the City's business. Mr.
Fetzer stated we need to provide a clear public information policy on this. Mrs. Gray
asked how will the City get this information out and when will we start training. The
City Manager stated he will have to report back to the Commission on this.
Lastly, Mrs. Gray stated she went to Village Academy and Pompey Park
today to see how the voting was going and at Village Academy there was an issue with
spoiled ballots and thanked the City Clerk for contacting the Supervisor of Elections
office regarding this.
13.C.4. Mr. Frankel
Mr. Frankel had no comments or inquiries on non- agenda items.
13.C.5. Mayor McDuffie
Mayor McDuffie stated he has run into more than a little bit of interest
around the community about the selection process for a Finance Director and asked that
the City Manager provide this information to the Commission. The City Manager stated
out of the 80 applicants Human Resources will narrow that down to the top 15 candidates
or so and the City will have a Selection Committee that will include some City staff,
Howard Ellingsworth, and the Finance Director from Boca Raton. The City Manager
stated the Selection Committee will compile a short list of 3 =5 candidates that he will
interview and will make a final selection. Mayor McDuffie stated he wants to make
certain that the City of Delray Beach realizes that the City has gone through a very clear
and transparent process and found the best person for this job.
Secondly, Mayor McDuffie stated he attended a costume party at Kevro's
Art Bar for the CJ Foundation and dressed up as Woodie from Toy Story. He stated they
raised money for the Milagro Center and it turned out to be a great party.
Mayor McDuffie stated there was a kickoff for a new magazine called
Delray Beach Your Town/Your Magazine in the community at Old School Square. He
stated this was a well attended event and this is another way to market the downtown.
He commented about the Bed Races and stated the event was bigger than
last year although not as big as in previous years.
21
11/02/10
Mayor McDuffie stated he met with the President of the group that is
owned by the Sun - Sentinel that does the Jewish Journal and he offered to do in their
newspaper a four -page center of City information. Mayor McDuffie stated his circulation
in the City of Delray Beach is 28,000 and this would go to every home that gets the Sun -
Sentinel and would be placed on free newspaper stands all over the city. Mayor
McDuffie stated he will get a copy of his proposal and let the Commission know what the
actual cost is.
Mayor McDuffie stated he was asked about the US-1 Master Plan and he
informed them that there is not one. The City Manager stated there is not a plan for the
South Federal Highway area.
