Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Carney – Yes; Dr. Alperin – Yes; Mr. Frankel – Yes; Mrs. Gray – Yes; Mayor McDuffie – Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote. 9. REGULAR AGENDA: 9.A. WAIVER REQUESTS/HYATT PLACE HOTEL: Consider two (2) waiver requests to Land Development Regulations (LDR) Section 4.3.3(V)(2)(a), which requires that not more than one stand-alone bar be located within any one block, nor within seven hundred and fifty (750) feet of another stand-alone bar measured from lot line to lot line in a straight line and Section 4.3.3(V)(2)(c)(1), which allows a written request to establish a stand-alone bar to be valid for a period not to exceed six (6) months for the Hyatt Place Hotel located along N.E. 1st Avenue. (Quasi-Judicial Hearing) Mayor McDuffie read the City of Delray Beach Quasi-Judicial rules 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 Item 9.A., 9.B., and 9.C. Mayor McDuffie asked the Commission to disclose their ex parte communications. Mr. Frankel stated he recalls being at the groundbreaking speaking to the developer and other parties associated with the Hyatt Place who during those conversations and presentations talked about the restaurant that is going to be inside and other aspects of the project. Mrs. Gray stated she had no ex parte communications to disclose. Mayor McDuffie stated he also attended the groundbreaking and spoke to the architect, the builders, and the developers. Mr. Carney stated he too attended the groundbreaking and does not recall this issue being discussed. Paul Dorling, AICP, Director of Planning and Zoning, entered the Planning and Zoning Department project file #2011-138 into the record. Mr. Dorling stated this is consideration of two waivers to the LDRs; one of the waivers is to LDR Section 4.3.3(V)(2)(a), which requires that not more than one 8 09/20/11 stand-alone bar be located within any one block, nor within seven hundred and fifty (750) feet of another standalone bar measured from lot line to lot line in a straight line. The second waiver relates to the process that has been identified in the LDRs which locks in a projects ability to have one of these slots and that is a written request and is valid for six (6) months. On April 6, 2011, the Historic Preservation Board (HPB) considered and approved a Class IV site plan modification to construct a 134-room hotel along Pineapple Grove Way that contains 2,100 square feet of retail, a 1,666 square feet hotel lounge, meeting rooms, café, pool, and gym, along with associated parking and landscaping (Phase I). Mr. Dorling stated Phase II of that project included an office building. He stated Phase I is the hotel along Pineapple Grove Way and the associated parking and Phase II would be an office building component. Mr. Dorling stated this was originally a retail space which was originally that 2,000 square foot retail space at the very northern end of the hotel that is now before the Commission. Mr. Dorling stated it is slightly reduced in size and now there is a request to put in a stand-alone bar in that facility. Mr. Dorling stated the LDRs require the measurement between bars to be from property line to property line in a straight line and the nearest legally established bar is Pineapple Groove. Mr. Dorling stated this facility is under construction and will not be completed until September 2012 so there is a request that the timeline be extended to sixty (60) days after the COA (Certificate of Occupancy) is issued for the hotel (approximately December 2012). Mike Covelli, representing the applicant, stated the intent of the 750 feet was to not have one bar after another bar lined up and Pineapple Groove is on the other side of the railroad tracks. Mr. Covelli stated if this was a stand-alone facility and the hotel was not connected to it then it would meet the distance requirement. Mayor McDuffie stated if anyone from the public would like to speak in favor or in opposition of the waiver requests, to please come forward at this time. There being no one from the public who wished to address the Commission regarding the waiver requests, the public hearing was closed. There was no cross-examination or rebuttal. Mr. Frankel stated he is not sure if Pineapple Groove is still in business but he has no problem with it. Mrs. Gray stated she is more concerned about the Pineapple Groove and Bru’s Room being close together. Mr. Carney stated he has no problem with it. Dr. Alperin inquired about the structure above the restaurant. Mr. Dorling stated that is part of the hotel and is a lounge and restaurant area. Mr. Covelli stated there is no food service and it is a lounge or stand-alone bar. Dr. Alperin asked if this is going to be leased out. Mr. Covelli stated the intention at this point is they are going to lease it out. 9 09/20/11 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. Carney. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Dr. Alperin – Yes; Mr. Frankel – Yes; Mrs. Gray – Yes; Mayor McDuffie – Yes; Mr. Carney – Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote. 9.B. REQUEST FOR IN-LIEU PARKING AGREEMENT/PINEAPPLE GROVE INVESTMENT GROUP, LLC: Consider a request from Pineapple Grove Investment Group, Inc. for the purchase of six (6) in-lieu parking spaces in the amount of $93,600 and a waiver to Land Development Regulations (LDR) Section 4.6.9(E)(3), “In-Lieu Fee”, to exceed the 30% limit of spaces that may be purchased through the In-Lieu of Parking program for converting the former Ace Pump location to restaurant use, located at 9 N.E. 2nd Avenue. (Quasi-Judicial Hearing) Scott Aronson, Parking Management Specialist, stated Pineapple Grove Investment Group, Inc. is for a conversion of use of the former Ace Pump property located at 9 N.E. 2nd Avenue. Mr. Aronson stated the 2,142 square foot building is proposed conversion of use to restaurant and is required to provide the difference between one space per 300 and six spaces per 1,000 which is the restaurant parking and totals 5.71 spaces which rounds up to six (6). Mr. Aronson stated the subject property is located in Area 2 of the in-lieu program yielding $15,600.00 per space for a total of $93,600.00. If approved, the applicant would like to pay via the In-Lieu of Parking Fee Payment Agreement which requires 50% of the fee and two (2) 25% payments on the second and third anniversaries of the agreement. The In-Lieu of Parking Program is addressed in Chapter 12 of the Parking Study and there were some modifications to that Code provision to remove the hardship requiring it to be impossible or inappropriate to allow new construction to participate in the program. Staff has also added some measurable criteria for the approval which is that public parking to be available in the surrounding area. Mr. Aronson stated those changes have been enacted and provide for a 30% cap on the number of spaces that could be purchased based on what the total requirement was. The in-lieu request also comes with a waiver to LDR Section 4.6.9(E)(3) which caps the number of spaces at 30%. Mr. Aronson stated in order to approve the waiver the following findings must be met: (1) shall not adversely affect the neighboring area; (2) shall not significantly diminish the provision of public facilities, (3) shall not create an unsafe situation; and, (4) does not result in a grant of a special privilege in that the same waiver would be granted under similar circumstances on other property for another applicant or owner. Staff has a concern with this setting a precedent on a newly enacted Code and the next request seeks a waiver to the Code provision. However, Mr. Aronson stated there are some challenges to the Code provision with the 30% and staff is reviewing that particular policy. Mr. Aronson stated although it does not meet the 30% it does meet the new criteria of being close to available public parking it is one block away from the Old School Square Garage to the north and 1½ blocks from the Federspiel Garage on S.E. 1st Avenue. Staff recommends approval but had a concern that 10 09/20/11 this not set a precedent. The Parking Management Advisory Board (PMAB) recommended approval of the applicant’s waiver, in-lieu payment fee requests, and stipulating approval of the waiver not be viewed as a precedent. Mr. Aronson stated in the discussion with the City Attorney and the advice of the City Manager stating that they do not want it to set a precedent but the City Attorney explained that it would have to under those similar circumstances and not just a request. Staff recommends approval and noted another consideration was the length in time these negotiations where well in advance of crafting these ordinances that the applicant negotiated in good faith with the expectation he would be able to do his conversion. Mr. Aronson stated the Parking Management Advisory Board (PMAB) recommended approval stipulating approval of the waiver not be viewed as a precedent; the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) and the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) also recommended approval. Mayor McDuffie asked the Commission to disclose their ex parte communications. Mr. Frankel stated he had no ex parte communications on this item. Mrs. Gray stated she had no ex parte communications to disclose. Mayor McDuffie stated he had communications with Mr. Cohen, Mr. Lynne, and Mr. Weiner who were at the time concerned about being told that there was a moratorium on restaurant building in the City of Delray Beach when in fact they were in the process of buying two parcels for that very purpose. Also, Mayor McDuffie stated this was discussed at the Workshop meeting and the applicant asked the question of what was going to happen and his recollection was that the Commission said if we had work in the pipeline that it would not be subject to these terms. Mr. Carney stated he attended the Parking Management Advisory Board meeting where this was discussed. Dr. Alperin stated he had no ex parte communications to disclose. Jeffrey Lynne, Attorney with Weiner and Lynne, P.A., 10 S.E. 1st Avenue, Delray Beach, FL 33444, representing the applicant, stated the property from a property address standpoint as a structure is 9 N.E. 2nd Avenue but it is actually broken down into three bays (Bay 9, 11 & 15) and from mailing standpoint Bay 9 was Rita’s; if you were to send a letter to 11 N.E. 2nd Avenue it would be delivered to Bay 11. Mr. Lynne stated the scope of this application only concerns Bays 11-15 and has nothing to do with the former Rita’s. Mayor McDuffie stated if anyone from the public would like to speak in favor or in opposition of the request for the in-lieu parking agreement, to please come forward at this time. There being no one from the public who wished to address the Commission regarding the request for the in-lieu parking agreement, the public hearing was closed. There was no cross-examination or rebuttal. Dr. Alperin stated the applicant is asking for parking that already exceeds the existing ordinances. He stated he is not big on precedent setting decisions. 11 09/20/11 Mr. Carney concurred with comments expressed by Dr. Alperin but the reality is that they were in process when it failed the first time and it was resurrected. He stated this issue with respect to the 30% essentially as it related to this particular property would have not allowed the property to be redeveloped. Brief discussion between the Commission and staff followed. The City Manager stated the critical point is that this was in the works before the 30% limit was adopted. Mrs. Gray stated she supports this because the application was already in and it appears that everyone that purchases in-lieu parking spaces always indicate that they are going to the garage and asked how we know when we have reached that capacity. Mr. Aronson stated at the Old School Square Garage at the current utilization they would have a ways to go before they reach that capacity. He stated staff does have a record of all of the in-lieu parking. Mr. Frankel stated not only is this in very close proximity to the two garages, there is the Bru’s Room parking lot and the parking lot across the street. He stated this is the sister ordinance the Commission is dealing with in this issue as well as the next item for Ordinance No. 29-11 with the 30%. Mr. Frankel stated he was the only dissenting vote of that ordinance and this is the reason why. In his opinion, Mr. Frankel stated that is going to be an issue not only this evening but for many times at future meetings because that ordinance was passed. Mayor McDuffie stated the application was already in progress and supports this request. Dr. Alperin asked if everyone made their payments. Mr. Aronson stated there was one but this has since been rectified and they have been put back on a payment schedule. Mr. Aronson stated this is only available to the owners of the property and not the tenants. 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. Carney moved to adopt the Board Order as presented, seconded by Mr. Frankel. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Frankel – Yes; Mrs. Gray – Yes; Mayor McDuffie – Yes; Mr. Carney – Yes; Dr. Alperin – Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote. 9.C. REQUEST FOR IN-LIEU PARKING AGREEMENT AND WAIVER/BEOJ, LLC.: Consider a request from BEOJ, LLC. for the purchase of eight (8) in-lieu parking spaces in the amount of $124,800 and a waiver to Land Development Regulations (LDR) Section 4.6.9(E)(3), “In-Lieu Fee”, to exceed the 30% limit of spaces 12 09/20/11 that may be purchased through the In-Lieu of Parking program for conversion of the former VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars) building to restaurant use, located at 5 S.E. 2nd Avenue. (Quasi-Judicial Hearing) Mayor McDuffie asked the Commission to disclose their ex parte communications. Mr. Frankel stated he spoke with Gary Rack, Mr. Cohen, Mr. Jeff Lynne and Mr. Weiner. Mrs. Gray stated she spoke to Mr. Cohen and Mr. Weiner. Mayor McDuffie stated he had the same communications as he did on Item 9.B. Mr. Carney and Dr. Alperin stated they had no ex parte communications to disclose. Scott Aronson, Parking Management Specialist, stated this item is an inlieu parking request to accommodate the conversion of the former VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars) building located at 5 S.E. 2nd Avenue. Mr. Aronson stated the VFW is in Class III Site Plan Modification for conversion use to restaurant. He stated they need to provide the difference between restaurant parking which is 6 spaces per 1,000 and 1 space per 300 square feet. The subject property is located in Area 2 of the in-lieu program yielding $15,600.00 per space totaling $124,800.00. If approved, the applicant would like to pay via the In-Lieu of Parking Fee Payment Agreement which requires payment of 50% of the fee ($62,400.00), upon signing and returning the agreement prior to issuance of a building permit, and two 25% payments ($31,200.00) on the second and third anniversaries of the agreement. Mr. Aronson stated the same issues that were faced with the Parking Management Advisory Board (Item 9.B.) about staff’s concerns regarding setting a precedent. Staff recommends approval. Jeffrey Lynne, Attorney with Weiner and Lynne, P.A., 10 S.E. 1st Avenue, Delray Beach, FL 33444, stated this is the same situation regarding the 30% rule. Mayor McDuffie stated if anyone from the public would like to speak in favor or in opposition of the request for the in-lieu parking agreement, to please come forward at this time. There being no one from the public who wished to address the Commission regarding the in-lieu parking agreement, the public hearing was closed. Mr. Carney concurs with Mr. Frankel because they did not focus at the time on the 30% as it would relate to all these things and suggested that this be readdressed as it relates to certain existing properties. Mrs. Gray stated we are still waiting for the incentives for the retail. Mayor McDuffie stated he supports this. 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). 13 09/20/11 Dr. Alperin moved to adopt the Board Order as presented, seconded by Mr. Carney. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mrs. Gray – Yes; Mayor McDuffie – Yes; Mr. Carney – Yes; Dr. Alperin – Yes; Mr. Frankel – Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote. 9.D. DELRAY BEACH MARINA RATES: Consider approval of a proposed rate increase for the per foot rate from $16.00 per month to $18.00 per month for the Delray Beach Marina. Linda Karch, Director of Parks and Recreation, stated on September 22, 2009, the City Commission approved a rate reduction at the marina from $21.00 per foot per month to $16.00 per foot per month. At that time, the marina had 11 vacancies and due to the decrease in the rate per foot staff realized full occupancy with very little turnover. In addition, Mrs. Karch stated the City has a waiting list of 43 people who pay application fees as well as an annual fee. Mrs. Karch stated the marina has seen a few new amenities since the rate has been decreased. A new pump out system has been installed at each pier allowing boaters access to the system. She stated owners will now be granted one parking space per slip on the east side of Marine Way and new lights have been installed at each pavilion offering additional security. Mrs. Karch stated this increase from $16.00 per foot per month to $18.00 per foot per month is still reasonable for boaters and within the going area rate of other municipal marinas who allow live aboards. Staff recommends approval of the rate increase. Dr. Alperin moved to approve the rate increase at the Municipal Marina, seconded by Mr. Frankel. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mayor McDuffie – Yes; Mr. Carney – Yes; Dr. Alperin – Yes; Mr. Frankel – Yes; Mrs. Gray – Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote. 9.E. BID AWARD/RANDOLPH AND DEWDNEY CONSTRUCTION, INC.: Consider approval of a bid award to Randolph and Dewdney Construction, Inc. in the amount of $456,710.00 for renovations to the Pompey Park Concession Stand. Funding is available from 334-4127-572-62.10 (General Construction Fund: Building). Mrs. Gray asked if the Commission will consider to table and ask the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) to participate again in this project. The City Manager stated the CRA looked at this once before and declined to participate and feels it is worth asking them again. The City Manager stated if the CRA could pay for Phase II then the City could do the entire project without affecting the City’s budget anymore. Prior to the vote, Mayor McDuffie asked if there are any issues with the bids still being valid if the Commission waits until the next meeting. Mr. Carney suggested that as part of the motion that they put the timing of the bid in advance until such time as it is reconsidered. The City Attorney stated 14 09/20/11 normally when the bid is sent out the City asks the bidders and they agree to hold the bid for sixty days (60) and he does not know where staff is in that process. Richard Hasko, Director of Environmental Services, stated normally the City requires the bidders to hold their prices for sixty (60) days from the bid opening. Mr. Hasko stated he did get a commitment from Randolph and Dewdney Construction, Inc. from the last meeting that they would hold their bid price. Diane Colonna, Executive Director of the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA), stated the Board discussed this at the last meeting and it was not so much an issue of available dollars but the Board felt the project was not consistent with the CRA’s mission regarding economic development and were more interested in projects that would make things better for the kids. Mr. Carney moved to table Item 9.E., seconded by Mr. Frankel. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Carney – Yes; Dr. Alperin – Yes; Mr. Frankel – Yes; Mrs. Gray – Yes; Mayor McDuffie – Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote. At this point, the time being 7:00 p.m., the Commission moved to Item 10, Public Hearings. 10. PUBLIC HEARINGS: 10.A.

There being no one from the public who wished to address the Commission regarding Resolution No. 40-11, the public hearing was closed. Mr. Frankel stated in prior meetings the Commission discussed lowering the millage rate from last year’s rate of 7.19% to 7.15% and asked if that is still an option.

The City still has a reserve of $77,000.00 and anticipates receiving funding through the fire assessment fee of approximately $3.1-$3.2 million.

(The official copy of Ordinance No. 29-11 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. 18 09/20/11 Paul Dorling, AICP, Director of Planning and Zoning, stated this is the second reading of a city-initiated amendment to the LDRs that will increase the parking requirement for restaurant uses along Atlantic Avenue from Swinton Avenue to N.E./S.E. 5th Avenue between the east and west alleys located immediately north and south of Atlantic Avenue. Mr. Dorling stated this would increase the parking requirements from 6 spaces to 12 spaces per 1,000 square feet for restaurants to be equal to parking requirements city-wide outside the CBD (Central Business District). Mr. Dorling stated the City Commission asked staff to provide additional information on this. He stated staff did research all the city zoning codes and from 1959-1972 the City required parking on a number of seats which was approximately 10 per 1,000; 10 per 1,000 + 1 per 3 employees and from 1972-1973 it went to 12 spaces per 1,000. The CBD area was created in 1973 and that initial designation was 10 spaces per 1,000 while the balance of the City remained at 12 spaces per 1,000; from 1976-1980 the City went to 1 for each 300 square feet; from 1980-1984; from 1984-1993 it went to 1 per 300; 1993-2001 the City went to 1 per 300 in the small area that was the original DDA area; then the City went to 6 per 1,000 and then from 2001-2011 the entire CBD was 6 per 1,000. Mr. Dorling stated there was some consideration as to whether the current rate of 12 per 1,000 citywide was reasonable. Staff did some calculations with respect to 1,000 square foot restaurant space requiring 12 spaces and that could accommodate approximately 40 seats if you put two persons per vehicle that would equate to a demand of 20 spaces for 1,000 square feet. He stated that does not address parking for employees. Staff looked at different Planning organizations and what their suggested rates were. Staff also looked at other municipalities and they ranged from 16 per 1,000 to a low of 1 per 1,000 in a downtown core area in West Palm Beach. Also, it is important to note that unlike other municipalities the City does not assess parking for sidewalk cafes. Mr. Dorling stated there has been reference to the Cluster 4 Study and the Study completed in 2005 identified some policies and recommendations going forward and encouraged retail uses be added and that be done by not encouraging new restaurants. Mr. Dorling stated this modification in no way prohibits the conversion of spaces to restaurants but makes it more attractive in other areas of the CBD (Central Business District). Staff recommends approval. Mayor McDuffie declared the public hearing open. There being no one from the public who wished to address the Commission regarding Ordinance No. 29-11, the public hearing was closed. Mr. Frankel stated this ordinance will have a major impact on Atlantic Avenue and feels we need to create incentives for retail businesses. He stated restaurants are major businesses for Atlantic Avenue and they create a number of jobs. In his opinion, Mr. Frankel stated passing this ordinance is going to cause major vacancies on Atlantic Avenue and he does not support this ordinance. Mrs. Gray stated she is going to support staff’s recommendation because she believes the ordinance was written at a time when we needed to attract more businesses and she feels that Cluster 4 has done that. Mrs. Gray stated she hopes that there will soon be incentives in place. 19 09/20/11 Mr. Carney stated he supports staff’s recommendation because the actual use versus the perceived use of the tables and people occupying restaurants people do not go in carpools to restaurants and typically a table of four has two cars. Therefore, Mr. Carney stated when you add up the number of people going to a restaurant and the number of car spaces used to occupy those four seats you are really talking two cars per a table of four. Mr. Carney stated there is no accounting for the sidewalk cafes and 10-15% of some of these restaurant tables are allocated to the sidewalk cafes to which there has been no parking calculations imposed in the establishment of that outdoor seating and although they pay a fee for it that is not anywhere near sufficient to address the parking ramifications are to the outdoor seating. Mr. Carney stated the CRA, WARC, DDA, and P&Z all support this. He stated by bringing it equal to where it is everybody else in the city then this is fair because all the city is doing is creating an incentive for downtown and almost creating a disincentive for any other place in the city. Lastly, Mr. Carney stated the current restaurants are there and have their parking and are not impacted so if they are boarded up it is because they are failing as restaurants not because of this ordinance. Mr. Carney stated at worst it will slow down the conversion of retail to restaurants and at best will encourage development of restaurants in areas outside of here. Dr. Alperin stated when strolling downtown through all the tables on the sidewalk that part is not the most pleasant; however, the part that is pleasant about the downtown is the retail and the galleries and he does not feel the City can lose any more of that. He stated the biggest incentive for retail is to make it a little more difficult to convert it so the rents will stay down or if there is enough vacancy the rents will actually go down for retail space. Dr. Alperin stated this ordinance does not prohibit conversion but it just makes it more incentivized to stay as retail. Dr. Alperin stated he supports the ordinance. Mayor McDuffie stated he supports an incentive for restaurants to go up Pineapple Grove and other places like that. Mayor McDuffie inquired about a total inventory of how many parking spaces we have available. The City Manager stated the Parking Management Study has a thorough inventory in it. Mr. Dorling stated Mr. Aronson had made reference earlier regarding the number of in-lieu spaces that have been approved and staff has a very detailed list of the total inventory of parking spaces as well as the utilization of each and every one of those lots. Mr. Carney moved to adopt Ordinance No. 29-11 on Second and FINAL Reading, seconded by Dr. Alperin. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Carney – Yes; Dr. Alperin – Yes; Mr. Frankel – No; Mrs. Gray – Yes; Mayor McDuffie – No. Said motion passed with a 3 to 2 vote, Commissioner Frankel and Mayor McDuffie dissenting. 10.E.

Mr. Frankel asked if this has to do with the Statute about bringing guns into public places. The City Attorney stated if we an ordinance dealing with guns period 26 09/20/11 we cannot do that. The City Attorney stated it is his understanding that Statute has been on the books for a while; however, nobody enforced it until they amended the Statute to provide that if municipalities have something like that on the books and if it is enforced or used in some manner then that can result in penalties of up to $5,000.00 and removal from Office which would directly affect the City Commission. Mr. Carney asked if the League of Cities is trying to do anything with this and stated this infringes on the rights of municipalities to govern the activities of their own residents and people visiting their city. Mayor McDuffie stated you can carry a concealed weapon in a public place if you have a concealed weapon permit. Mayor McDuffie stated according to State law now someone can walk out the front door of their private property and discharge a firearm. The City Manager stated this was discussed at the League of Cities Urban Administration Committee Meeting that he attended last Friday and it was dependent on the League that given the current composition of the legislature that amending it this year is impossible. Dr. Alperin moved to adopt Ordinance No. 33-11, seconded by Mrs. Gray. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Dr. Alperin – Yes; Mr. Frankel – Yes; Mrs. Gray – Yes; Mayor McDuffie – Yes; Mr. Carney – Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote. At this point, the time being 8:04 p.m., the Commission moved to Item 11.B., Comments and Inquiries on Non-Agenda Items from the Public. 11.B. From the Public. 11.B.1. Yvonne Odom, 3905 Lowson Boulevard, Delray Beach, FL 33445, thanked the City Manager for his letter addressing her concerns from the last meeting. 11.B.2. Dr. Victor Kirson, D.D.S., 2050 Alta Meadows Lane #2110, Delray Beach, FL 33444 (President of the Board of Directors of Tierra Verde at Delray Beach), stated we now have an Inspector General and Ethics Committee and this shows that the State, the County, and the residents are interested in transparency and guarding against the imagery of improprieties. Dr. Kirson asked why the Delray Beach City Commission still has meetings in small meeting rooms without internet coverage disallowing those who would like to see reports like were given last week. Dr. Kirson requested that all meetings be held in the City Commission Chambers. 11.B.3. Rose Hendrix, P.O. Box 6162, Delray Beach, FL 33482, stated Out of School Coordinator Tonya Smith has falsified a Police Report on her. Ms. Hendrix stated she has contacted the City Manager, Mayor McDuffie, and has also sent emails. Ms. Hendrix stated her children have attended the After School Program for several years and 27 09/20/11 Tonya Smith objects to her writing reports to the City Manager and speaking to the City Commission and has started a vendetta against her. Ms. Hendrix stated Ms. Smith has asked her to write a malicious letter against Parks Superintendent Tim Simmons and she refused. Ms. Hendrix stated she has contacted the Ethics Department, the Palm Beach Department of Professional Regulations, and Florida State Representatives Maria Sachs and Lori Berman’s office. She urged the City Commission and the City officials to get involved and asked for a response to this issue. At this point, the time being 7:59 p.m., the Commission moved to Item 11.A., City Manager’s response to prior public comments and inquiries. 11.A. City Manager’s response to prior public comments and inquiries. With regard to a concern Dr. Kirson had raised a concern about the seaweed on the beach particularly over the Labor Day weekend and about the frequency with which the beach is cleaned, the City Manager stated when the contract for beach cleaning was renewed in 2006 the number of days for raking sea grass was increased from once a week to three times a week. The City Manager stated there has been a deluge of seaweed washing onto the coast and the lifeguards supervise the cleaning of the beach to be sure that the three times a week is fulfilled but it may only diminish the seaweed to the extent that it can appear almost imperceptible when certain conditions coincide. He stated with the combined factors of seaweed flourishing right now at an inexplicable rate, consistent east winds pushing it toward our shore and two high tides seaweed can be replaced more quickly than it can be removed on certain days or weeks. The City Manager stated while the City removes what it can the presence of some seaweed is actually advantageous and important to the beach eco system. One important role it plays is providing critical habitat for juvenile sea turtles and hatchlings; it provides many hatchlings with a source of food and shelter from predators. He stated when injured hatchlings are rehabilitated and re-released into the ocean they are often transported for several miles until a large section of seaweed is found because the presence of the seaweed increases the chances of survival. The timing of this influx of seaweed is actually fortuitous for the sea turtle hatchlings. While the seaweed may be an obstacle to some, it is a lifesaver to others. Secondly, the City Manager stated Mr. McCall was concerned about the difference in time limits for the downtown parking in different areas. The City Manager stated time limited parking is the primary tool in managing the City’s parking system in terms of encouraging more frequent turnover in strategic areas for the benefit of local businesses in allowing longer term parking in lots where turnover is less critical for merchants. The City Manager stated in the downtown business district west of the Intracoastal Waterway there is no metered parking so time limiting on various on street areas and lots is the only method available to the City for managing the system. Time limits for all parking areas will be revisited as the Parking Management Plan recommendations are implemented. He stated Mrs. Odom had already referred to a situation that she brought up at the last meeting that two hour limits for parking meters on A-1-A apply only to angled parking to encourage frequent turnover for the benefit of the 28 09/20/11 merchants across from the beach where the angled parking is. All other metered spaces on A-1-A have a four hour time limit. Also, the City Manager stated there was a question raised about the value of the Police Volunteer Program. The City considers this program one of the most organized accountable and cost effective programs attached to the Police Department. The total requested budget for the Police Volunteer Program for 2012 is $105,530.00. This estimate includes the cost for operating expenses such as uniforms, equipment and training, cost of vehicle leases, maintenance, fuel and events such as the Senior Academy and Haitian Citizen Police Academy. During fiscal year 2010, Police volunteers completed 31,928 hours of service and if these hours were compensated by the City the volunteer hours would correspond to a monetary value of $576,000.00 when calculated at the average C.S.O. hourly rate of $18.05 per hour. The Police Volunteer Program provides additional revenue through parking enforcement. This year to date the total revenue generated through the collection of parking fines is $316,000.00. Police volunteers play an instrumental role in crime prevention and enforcement. They conduct patrols of the downtown parking garages and surface lots both day and night. He stated utilizing the crime analysis, volunteer groups focus on high visibility patrols and target crime locations. Periodically volunteers provide assistance with community policing initiatives by acting as liaisons with citizen groups. Police volunteers are available during special events to assist with traffic control and provide support as needed. The City Manager stated there was a suggestion made that the Police volunteers were not needed downtown because nothing is happening. He stated one of the big problems that West Palm got into is they had a series of high profile well publicized criminal incidents and it is extremely important for the City to keep downtown safe and prevent those kinds of incidences from happening and one of things that does that is by having the volunteers there as well as the uniformed officers. Lastly, the City Manager stated in response to Ms. Hendrix’s comments that she has been told by several staff members that this is a private dispute between her and the employee and it is not employment related and she needs to take care of it through the legal system. At this point, the time being 8:06 p.m., the Commission moved back to Item 9.F. of the Regular Agenda. 9.F. CONSULTING SERVICE AUTHORIZATIONS/PALM BEACH COUNTY PUBLIC ART ADMINISTRATION/PUBLIC ART CONSULTING SERVICE: Consider Consulting Service Authorizations with Elayna Toby Singer, Palm Beach County Public Art Administrator to provide administrative support for several public art projects throughout the City. Funding is available from 115-1702-579-31.90 (Special Projects Fund: Professional Services/Other Professional Services). 9.F.1. SERVICE AUTHORIZATION NO. 2/DEBILZAN PUBLIC ART LOAN TO THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH: Consider Service Authorization No. 2 with Elayna Toby Singer, Palm Beach County Public Art Administrator, to facilitate 29 09/20/11 artist, City Staff and PAAB in art design/material approval, fabrication, installation of artwork located at Worthing Park. Linda Karch, Director of Parks and Recreation, stated the Public Art Advisory Board is requesting Commission approval and authorization for the Mayor to execute consulting Service Authorization Nos. 2-5 between Palm Beach County, Elayna Toby Singer, Public Art Administrator and the City of Delray Beach for administrative support. Mrs. Karch stated there are four separate agreements; the first is an agreement for Public Art Consulting between the City of Delray Beach and Palm Beach County and that Service Agreement was approved February 15, 2011. This agreement specifies that the services performed by the County shall be authorized by a Service Authorization. She stated each service authorization shall be incorporated in and shall become an integral part of the contract dated February 15, 2011. The Public Art Advisory Board recommends approval of the Consulting Service Authorizations; however, staff recommendations on the four service authorizations are included in the individual sub item that follows each agenda item. Mrs. Karch stated Service Authorization No. 2 for Debilzan Public Art Loan to the City of Delray Beach would authorize the Public Art Administrator to facilitate the artist, city staff, and the design and art material fabrication and installation of artwork located in Worthing Park. Staff recommends that this Service Authorization be rejected because the artist is loaning the sculpture and the City already has a design team for the park design. Staff feels that the artist and park design team should be able to finalize the installation without the consultant services on this project. Mayor McDuffie asked if the City is paying the $65.00 per hour to Palm Beach County and not to the consultant. The City Attorney stated the money goes to Palm Beach County and noted the consultant works for Palm Beach County. Albert Gaum-Rickard, Project Coordinator/Parks & Recreation, stated the first agreement between the Public Art Board and Palm Beach County was February 15, 2011 and it said that we would have a Public Art Administrator for the City of Delray Beach and that we would pay the $65.00 per hour to Palm Beach County for that service. Mayor McDuffie inquired about Service Authorization No. 1 on May 17, 2011. Ms. Gaum-Rickard stated there are five Service Authorizations and Service Authorization No. 1 was for the Public Art Master Plan and it all comes under the one agreement with Palm Beach County. The City Attorney stated Item 9.F. is like the global agreement and sets forth all of the basic understanding between the City and the County and what that agreement provides for is that if we want to have Ms. Singer do certain things then this is done through a Service Authorization. Mr. Carney asked if Elayna Toby Singer is an employee of the County then why is the City being billed for services. Dana Donaty, Chair of the Public Art Advisory Board stated these are public art projects for the City of Delray Beach not for 30 09/20/11 the County. Brief discussion between the Commission and Ms. Donaty followed. Ms. Gaum-Rickard stated Service Authorization No. 3 (Amendment No. 1)/Update Public Art Master Plan is with Elayna Toby Singer, Palm Beach County Public Art Administrator to address Public Art priorities, assess policies and procedures, to facilitate meetings between staff liaison/Public Art Advisory Board and City staff involved in Public Art Projects with CRA staff and the Creative City Collaborative (CCC) so that public art is being distributed correctly. The City Attorney stated all the City is doing is changing the scope of work on Service Authorization No. 1 and no more money is being added to it. Dr. Alperin moved to approve Service Authorization No. 2/Debilzan Public Art Loan to the City of Delray Beach, seconded by Mr. Frankel. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Frankel – No; Mrs. Gray – No; Mayor McDuffie – No; Mr. Carney – No; Dr. Alperin – No. Said motion to approve was DENIED with a 5 to 0 vote. 9.F.2. SERVICE AUTHORIZATION NO. 3 (AMENDMENT NO. 1)/UPDATE PUBLIC ART MASTER PLAN: Consider Service Authorization No. 3 (Amendment No. 1) with Elayna Toby Singer, Palm Beach County Public Art Administrator to address Public Art priorities, assess policies and procedures, to facilitate meetings between Staff Liaison/Public Art Advisory Board and City Staff involved in Public Art Projects/CRA staff/Creative City Collaborative, and to provide a Summary Report. Dr. Alperin moved to approve Service Authorization No. 3 (Amendment No. 1)/Update Public Art Master Plan, seconded by Mr. Frankel. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Frankel – Yes; Mrs. Gray – Yes; Mayor McDuffie – Yes; Mr. Carney – Yes; Dr. Alperin – Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote. 9.F.3.

Mr. Aronson stated the Beach Permit for Senior Citizens does not allow the angled spaces which were the two-hour limit. Mr. Carney stated he opposes this ordinance as written because he does not like the hours of day of enforcing the parking on East Atlantic Avenue east of the Intracoastal. He stated he cannot support this ordinance until there is some addressing of the hours of enforcement. Mr. Carney stated he supports this as it relates to the beach, the permits, and as it relates to the parking lots; however, he does not support it as it relates to the parking on East Atlantic Avenue because it is unfair to the businesses east of the Intracoastal to do anything which impairs people from coming to their businesses especially in the morning hours. Mr. Frankel moved to approve Ordinance No. 34-11 on FIRST Reading, seconded by Dr. Alperin. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Dr. Alperin – Yes; Mr. Frankel – Yes; Mrs. Gray – Yes; Mayor McDuffie – Yes; Mr. Carney – No. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote. 12.C.

COMMENTS AND INQUIRIES ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS. 13.A. City Manager With regard to Commissioner Gray’s concern about the internet cafés, the City Manager stated the City Attorney’s office has drafted a proposed ordinance. With regard to Commissioner Gray’s concern with the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) and their efforts with regard to housing, the City Manager stated the CRA continues to have a focus and commitment to affordable housing. The CRA’s proposed funding of the Community Land Trust (CLT) operation cost is $250,000.00 for the upcoming fiscal year. The City Manager stated they continue to maintain and make available affordable apartments that are managed by our local housing providers. In addition, at its meeting of October 13th, the CRA Board will be considering the request from the Delray Beach Housing Authority for $2.7 million in support of an affordable senior housing project. The City Manager stated the City continues to work with the CRA on several housing initiatives and one of the things that have affected the level of funding is the current housing market. Thus, the CRA has switched its effects to acquiring current units that are either deeded over or sold to the local housing providers which increase the availability of housing units. The City Manager stated Mayor McDuffie commented about the waiting list for housing vouchers. The City Manager stated that does not necessarily reflect the need in Delray Beach. He stated when those vouchers are advertised they get applicants from Miami to north of West Palm. The City Manager stated at the Urban Administration Committee Meeting there was also some discussion about the red light cameras and there are currently 70 cities that have them. He stated one of the concerns the Florida League of Cities has is 37 09/20/11 that Representative Corcoran who has introduced the Bill to outlaw the red light cameras is Speaker Designate for 2016. The City Manager stated they continue to monitor the court system as the court cases go through the system and there have been some favorable decisions now out of Broward County but is far from settled. Therefore, the City Manager stated they do not recommend taking any further action with those until that is resolved. The City Manager stated there was discussion about a requirement that kicks in October 2012 that all police dispatches have to have 216 hours of training to be certified by the State and the Department of Health. The City Manager stated some of the smaller agencies use police officers for dispatching and what they are asking is that there is an exception written into this law for certified police officers to be able to do dispatching. The City Manager stated cities have been working for several years to try and get amendments to the law regarding public notices. He stated basically you have to publish everything in the newspaper and the wholesale bills that have been introduced have not gotten anywhere. Therefore, the City Manager stated this year they are going to try to piecemeal it and deal with a couple things. He stated they are talking about on proposed Comp Plan amendments and zoning that they would remove the maps because the maps you cannot really read; unless someone is extremely familiar with the City they do not convey useful information. The City Manager stated anytime you try to change the publication requirement the newspapers lobby against it. The City Clerk stated the City Clerk’s office has spent a little over $18,000.00 for this fiscal year. The City Manager stated we can post the property and send out mail notices but the City still has to advertise in a newspaper. The City Manager stated with regard to Code Enforcement a lot of places have a requirement that when you notify people of a Code Enforcement violation under certain circumstances where they could end up with a lien it has to be certified mail return receipt requested. He stated they are trying to get the return receipt repealed because if you have a certified letter that is tracked through the postal system and you can verify the receipt of it through that tracking without getting an actual return card that would save a considerable amount of money. The City Manager stated the next Committee Meeting is in October. 13.B. City Attorney The City Attorney had no comments or inquiries on non-agenda items. 13.C. City Commission 13.C.1. Mr. Frankel Mr. Frankel asked when the Commission will be discussing the fire fee. The City Manager stated they are hoping to discuss this at the October Workshop Meeting. Mr. Frankel stated yesterday he was invited by the Delray Beach Police Department to speak to their Police Commanders and the subject was “The Future of Delray Beach”. He stated it was a great experience and they gave him a tour of the Seacrest Training Facility. Mr. Frankel stated these tools are good for the Police 38 09/20/11 Department but other departments are coming in using this technology and noted there is an open invitation for the rest of the Commission and the Mayor. Mr. Frankel stated yesterday he also attended the Annual Neighborhood Association Reception at the Arts Garage. He recognized Lula Butler, Nigel Roberts, Jennifer Costello, and Mayor McDuffie for putting on a great program and stated it is great how that space is being utilized. 13.C.2. Mrs. Gray Mrs. Gray stated she attended the Palm Beach County League of Cities Education Committee meeting today and noted they are looking for youth in the community to participate in their program. She stated they meet on the 2nd Wednesdays of every month from 4:00-5:00 p.m. 13.C.3. Mr. Carney Mr. Carney suggested that we post the audio of the Workshop Meetings on the website. Secondly, Mr. Carney stated he understands the need for the revenues for the parking at the beach, however, the City needs to address the hours of enforcement. Mr. Carney stated someone raised the issue that they had written to the Utility Billing Department to receive their bill by email and they received them by email but they also get a duplicate in the mail. He stated if a customer can receive their bill via email then why is the bill also being sent by regular mail. Lastly, Mr. Carney suggested that the City have an ordinance for seaweed. 13.C.4. Dr. Alperin Dr. Alperin stated several years ago he remembers people complaining that they want to move the Workshop Meetings in the Commission Chambers versus the First Floor Conference Room. Also, Dr. Alperin stated several years ago there was discussion about using the water bill as a way of sending out information to the citizens which is now the Neighborhood News. 13.C.5. Mayor McDuffie Mayor McDuffie stated he was supposed to go the The Breakers and speak but got very ill the night before and did not make it. He stated in preparation he asked Rosanne DeChicchio, Administrative Assistant/Public Information Office to obtain all of the vehicles of communication that we use and noted there are 48. 39 09/20/11 Secondly, Mayor McDuffie stated over the weekend he did a 5K Run for Sickle Cell Anemia. He stated he watched beach volleyball on Delray Beach and it was a great event. Mayor McDuffie stated Naked Hair Salon had some hair cutting classes with Vidal Sassoon’s son. He commented that the Chamber of Commerce Luminary Gala was very nicely done. Mayor McDuffie stated there was an event at Old School Square called Tom’s Shoes and this organization provides shoes for children in 28 developing countries. He stated they are going hold another event in October and to buy a pair of shoes is approximately $58.00. Mayor McDuffie stated he met another gentleman a year ago at the Boca Raton Hotel and Club at the Chris Evert event who is doing the same thing and brought it to their attention that if a child gets cut on the bottom of their foot in the United States they have medication or can go to the doctor; however, in developing countries it is often times fatal. He stated he spoke to Abbey Delray this week discussing his role in the City. Mayor McDuffie stated they were wonderful to speak to and wrote a complimentary letter to the City. Mayor McDuffie announced that tomorrow there is a Mayor’s Literacy Luncheon at the Ritz’s Carlton. Mayor McDuffie stated with regard to the Metropolitan Planning Organization Meeting there was a lot of discussion on the utilization of the FEC tracks and putting commuter trains on the FEC. In addition, he stated there is also a possible extension of 441 north. Mayor McDuffie urged the Commission to stay out of the Public Records Requests and let the City Clerk’s office respond. He stated we need to get to the root of Chapter 119 and charge the City’s entire cost to these Public Records Requests. Mayor McDuffie stated he understands that the City charges for staff time but not for computer time. He stated the County charges 22 cents a second for computer time and will forward his model to the City Manager. Lastly, Mayor McDuffie stated the County is going to have a Countywide Lobbyist Registration System that will be online. There being no further business, Mayor McDuffie declared the meeting adjourned at 9:20 p.m. 40 09/20/11 __________________________________________ City Clerk ATTEST: ____________________________________ M A Y O R The undersigned is the City Clerk of the City of Delray Beach, Florida, and the information provided herein is the Minutes of the Regular City Commission Meeting held on September 20, 2011, which Minutes were formally approved and adopted by the City Commission on ________________________. __________________________________________ City Clerk NOTE TO READER: If the Minutes you have received are not completed as indicated above, this means they are not the official Minutes of the City Commission.

The Reading Campaign goal at a national level is to increase by 50 percent the number of low-income children reading on grade level in 3rd grade in at least a dozen states during the next ten years. The League is asking communities to come up with a “Best Practice Plan” that addresses the following: · Summer Learning loss · School Attendance – Chronic absentees · School Readiness Why it is important for Delray Beach to get involved: · Our school population is comprised of 60% low income, high-risk students · FCAT (Florida Comprehensive Achievement Test) scores reveal that only 68% of our students read at or above grade level in third grade reading scores and that number drops as they get older · The scores for students in Delray Beach lag the county and state averages · We have 25% increase in student poverty level in the past 5 years, which equates to lower performance We are requesting that the City Commission endorse our efforts to move forward with the Letter of Intent for the 2012 All-America City Reading Readiness Award. TODAY’S GOALS Establish Steering Committee Provide Background on Grade Level Reading Campaign and Delray Beach Education Advocacy Review letter of intent requirements and determine workplan for development( due 10/14) Review application requirements and discuss broad based strategies ( due March 12) Determine if the Campaign forGrade Level Reading is a viable program for Delray Beach BACKGROUND The Delray Beach Education Board has been in existence for 20 years and advocates for quality education for all. It acts as the eyes and ears of the City Commission in identifying opportunities to help all students succeed. Over the course of the 2010-11 school year we have spoken with many of our elementary school principals and the common opportunity was identified as school readiness. Concurrently, the National Civics League has invited Delray Beach to submit a letter of intent for the 2012 All American City Grade Level Reading Award., which focuses on the 0-8 year old child and how to help all students read on grade level by third grade. Letters of Intent are due October 14,2011 which then enables Delray Beach access to a growing national network of staff, consultants,funders and other cities involved in the Campaign for Grade Level Reading.. Final Award applications are due March 12,2012 and will include our plans to help every student read on grade level by third grade. The Campaign’s goal is to increase by 50 percent the number of low-income children reading on grade level in 3rd grade in at least a dozen states during the next ten years. Currently two thirds of our US students are not reading proficiently by 4th grade; in California the number rises to 76% and for low income families the figure rises to 90% according to the latest NAEP scores.

MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Commissioners FROM: Ronald Hoggard, AICP, Principal Planner Paul Dorling, AICP, Director Planning and Zoning THROUGH: City Manager DATE: September 22, 2011 SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM 8.A. -REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF OCTOBER 4, 2011 RESOLUTION NO. 50-11/BLOCK 11 ALLEYWAY ABANDONMENT ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION The item before the Commission is consideration of abandonment of a portion of a 16’ north-south alley within Block 11, Osceola Park, located midway between SE 7th Street and SE 6th Street, pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.6(M), Abandonment of Rights-of-Way. A water/sewer easement is being retained over the entire area. BACKGROUND The subject paved alleyway was dedicated with the recording of the Osceola Park Plat (Plat Book 3, Page 2) on January 17, 1913. The north-south alley provides access between SE 6th Street and SE 7th Street. The abandonment area is a 16’ x 303.22’ rectangular shaped parcel containing approximately 4,851 sq. ft. (0.1114 acres). The abandonment request was submitted by Delray Eleven, LLC, which owns the twelve lots abutting either side of the proposed abandonment area. A replat of the aggregated parcels and abandoned portion of the alley is currently in process. Although this abandonment was previously approved by the City Commission on October 5, 2011 via Resolution 57-10, the attachment to the Resolution depicted the wrong legal description for the abandonment area. This error has been corrected and the abandonment is again before the City Commission for final approval. REVIEW BY OTHERS Development Services Management Group (DSMG): On July 15, 2010, the DSMG reviewed the alleyway abandonment request and recommended approval, subject to retention of an easement to cover existing sanitary sewer utilities. Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA): On August 12, 2010, the CRA reviewed the alleyway abandonment request and unanimously recommended approval. Planning and Zoning Board: On August 23, 2010 the Planning and Zoning Board reviewed the abandonment request and unanimously recommended approval to the City Commission, subject to establishment of utility easements over the entirety of the abandonment area as identified in the attached staff report. These easements are to be retained by the City until such time when it is necessary and appropriate for the developer to abandon these easements in favor of their replacement easements, if utilities are rerouted.. Environmental Services Department: The City Engineer has asked that a 16’ water and sewer utility easement be retained over the area proposed for abandonment in favor of the City until all utilities within the abandonment areas are relocated. A replacement easement has already been recorded. FPL (Florida Power and Light): FPL has reviewed the abandonment request and has identified the need for establishment of an exclusive easement for existing overhead utilities situated within the proposed alleyway abandonment area. This will be accommodated with the required replat of the project. Consequently, the applicant has acquired estimates of $3,913.23 to remove the facilities south of Lot 3 and $3,578.65 to relocate the utility pole at the southwest corner of Lot 1 to the northwest corner of Lot 1. If mutually agreed upon, the property owner (Delray Eleven, LLC) shall incur the costs of these improvements and an exclusive easement will not be deemed necessary. FPU (Florida Public Utilities): FPU has reviewed the abandonment request and has no objection. It is noted that a 2” gas main which runs within the alley between SE 7th Street and ends at SE 6th Street stops just north of the proposed abandonment area, thus service is unaffected. AT&T/BellSouth Telephone Company: AT&T has reviewed the abandonment request and has no objection. It is noted that the cost for relocation of any existing facilities shall be at the property owner’s expense. Any issues as they relate to relocation of AT&T utilities will be accommodated with the required replat of the project. Comcast Cable: Comcast Cable has reviewed the abandonment request and has no objection. However, they have identified the need for abandonment of existing utilities located within the alleyway. The cost associated with complete removal will be incurred by the owner (Delray Eleven, LLC). RECOMMENDATION By motion, move approval of the abandonment of the southernmost 303.22’ of the north-south alley lying within Block 11, Osceola Park, based upon positive findings with respect to LDR Section 2.4.6(O) (5), subject to the following conditions: 1. That a replat of the aggregated parcels and abandoned portion of the alley be processed and recorded with redevelopment of the site.

BACKGROUND On June 7, 2011, the Commission approved a Contract Award to Intercounty Engineering, Inc. The scope of the project generally consists of installing approximately 5,340 linear feet of 8 inch Ductile Iron Pipe water main, connection of water services, and installation of fire hydrants. This project also includes clearing and grubbing, sodded swale, asphalt trench repair, driveway apron replacement, drainage, and maintenance of traffic. Change Order No. 1 is for a contract time extension of seven (7) days as detailed below. The additional scope required for the installation of the water main in a different location is due to a conflict with an existing sewer main. The water main, originally to be installed in the swale area, will now be installed in the roadway. This request is primarily for the trench restoration required for the new location (the water main installation will be paid under the specified contract line item), as well as fittings to bring the pipe back to the original alignment, in the amount of $11,177.47. In addition, installation of a reverse tap was required to resolve an unforeseen conflict with a duct bank, in the amount of $6,413.59; and an existing 2" main, which was damaged during excavation, and was unknown to exist at its location, had to be repaired in the amount of $730.76; for a total amount of $18,321.82 to be paid out of the contract's Utility Allowance Line Item.

MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Commissioners FROM: Rafael Ballestero, Deputy Director of Construction Richard C. Hasko, P.E., Environmental Services Director THROUGH: David T. Harden, City Manager DATE: September 19, 2011 SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM 8.C. -REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF OCTOBER 4, 2011 CHANGE ORDER NO. 1/SPEARHEAD DEVELOPMENT GROUP, INC. ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION This item is before the Commission to approve Change Order No. 1 (CO#1) in the amount of $24,118.80 for additional scope needed for driveway reconstruction to meet ADA requirements; and for a contract time extension of thirty (30) days; for the Community Improvement (SW Area) Sidewalks Project #2009-039. BACKGROUND On May 3, 2011, Commission approved a Contract Award to Spearhead Development Group, Inc. in the amount of $102,999.80 for the construction of sidewalk improvements in the NW/SW areas of the City. The scope includes: clearing and grubbing, sidewalk construction and swale sodding. CO #1 is for driveway reconstruction, due to slope issues, to meet ADA requirements; and a contract time extension of thirty (30) days to complete the work. As existing driveway aprons are encountered during sidewalk construction, plans call for matching existing aprons if they are concrete, or cutting existing aprons and pouring the sidewalk through them if they are asphalt. ADA regulations require that sidewalk cross slopes not exceed 2%. If an existing driveway apron exceeds the maximum 2% slope, it must be completely removed so the sidewalk can be constructed in conformance with the ADA cross slope requirement. The driveway apron is then replaced between the front of the sidewalk the and the edge of roadway. Exhibit "A" to CO #1 is attached. A Location Map is also attached. FUNDING SOURCE Funding is available from 118-1965-554-63.11 (Neighborhood Services/Improvements Other/Bikepaths/Sidewalks).

P/N 2010-040. BACKGROUND This project is in coordination with the Community Redevelopment Agency and Palm Beach County, and is part of the Southwest Area Neighborhood Redevelopment Plan. The project is partially funded under a grant from the Disaster Recovery Initiative Program, between Palm Beach County and the State of Florida, Department of Community Affairs (DCA) and will allow for reimbursement from Palm Beach County to the City of up to $1,000,000.00 for the improvements associated with the project. This project consists of Roadway and Infrastructure Improvements on Auburn Avenue from Auburn Drive to SW 8 th Street, SW 12th and 13th Avenue from SW 8th Street to SW 10th Street, SW 8th Street from SW 14th Avenue to SW 12th Avenue, and SW 10th Street from SW 14th Avenue to SW 12th Avenue. The scope of the project includes roadway resurfacing and reconstruction, sidewalks, landscaping, design-build irrigation specifications, paver cross-walks, drainage improvements, on street parking, and bus shelters.

On February 9, 2011, at 9:00 AM, bids were received by the City of Delray Beach for the Auburn Avenue Improvements Project. Four (4) bids were received as follows: Name of Bidder Amount of Bid The City reviewed the bid proposals submitted by each of the contractors and found no mathematical errors on any of the bids. In reviewing the submittals for completeness and conformance with bidding requirements, it was determined that Williams Paving was not a prequalified contractor with the City. On that basis, their proposal was not considered. On February 25, 2011, the City acknowledged Chaz Equipment as the lowest responsive bidder and forwarded the bid award recomendation package to Palm Beach County Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and DCA for review and approval. On March 22, 2011, HCD notified the City that the Chaz Equipment approval package was under review by the DCA and they were inquiring about an ongoing investigation of Chaz Equipment by the State Attorney. During this same time frame, the City, being aware of the investigation, acted to revoke the prequalification status of Chaz Equipment Company, Inc., resulting in their disqualification from this bid award. Foster Marine Contractors, Inc. became the lowest responsive bidder. On May 6, 2011, the City notified HCD and DCA of the change in bid award recommendation and forwarded the Foster Marine approval package to HCD and DCA for review and approval. On September 6, 2011, HCD acknowledged that the Bid Award to Foster Marine Contractors, Inc. had been reviewed and approved.

ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION This item is before the Commission to approve Service Authorization (SA) #07-05.2, with AECOM, for the construction phase of Worthing Park. Cost of this SA is $20,260.00. Project # 2006-061. BACKGROUND On April 6, 2010 Commission approved a consulting Service Authorization with AECOM for the design of Worthing Park. A conceptual layout was provided to AECOM that was to be the basis for the redesign of the park. Over the months that followed several meetings took place with the owners of Worthing Place in an effort to provide a design that would be acceptable to all parties. Plans were recently finalized and AECOM provided final contract documents and construction drawings; the City subsequently proceeded with the bid process and has recommended a contract award. Upon approval, AECOM will conduct construction progress meetings, review shop drawings, provide responses to requests for information, conduct periodic site visits to observe compliance with the requirements of the construction documents and conduct a substantial completion inspection. In addition, AECOM will modify structural design drawings to accommodate the donated art sculpture for the park. FUNDING SOURCE 117-4133-572.68-19 RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval. MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Commissioners FROM: Rafael Ballestero, Deputy Director of Construction Richard C. Hasko, P.E., Environmental Services Director THROUGH: David T. Harden, City Manager DATE: September 22, 2011 SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM 8.F. -REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF OCTOBER 4, 2011 CHANGE ORDER NO. 1/FOSTER MARINE CONTRACTORS, INC./SW 12TH/SW 14TH/AUBURN AVE ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION This item is before the Commission to approve Change Order No. 1 for additional scope in the total amount of $16,907.80, for relocation of an additional twenty-eight (28) sewer cleanouts; and to approve $1,400.00 for the removal of two (2) inlets to be paid out of the contract's Unforeseen Conditions Allowance; for the SW 12 Ave/Auburn/SW 14 Ave Project #2010-098. BACKGROUND On May 3, 2011, Commission approved a Contract Award to Foster Marine in the amount of $1,586,019.82 for construction of improvements on SW 12 Ave./Auburn Ave./SW 14 Ave. from SW 10 St. to W. Atlantic Ave. The scope includes new pavement, micro-surfacing, curbing, parallel parking, drainage (including swales), water main upgrades, landscaping, decorative street lights (SW 1st St to W. Atlantic Ave) and paver crosswalks. On June 23, 2011, the City Manager approved an additional cost in the amount of $4,150.82 for electrical changes to provide LED street light fixtures in lieu of metal halide fixtures; to be paid out of the contract's Unforeseen Conditions Allowance. Then on July 29, 2011, the City Manager approved an additional cost in the amount of $6,301.46 for excavation and disposal of debris encountered during pipe installation; to be paid out of the Unforeseen Conditions Allowance. On September 6, 2011, Commission approved additional scope consisting of the relocation of ten (10) Sewer cleanouts between SW 3rd and 4th St. in the amount of $6,038.50; to be paid out of the contract's Unforeseen Conditions Allowance. On September 20, 2011, Commission approved additional scope in the total amount of $24,710.49 for relocation of twelve (12) sewer laterals outside of the proposed sidewalk area in the block from SW 2nd St. to SW 3rd St.; two (2) additional street light poles, due to the contractor not realizing that, when the revised electrical plan was issued changing the metal halide fixtures to LED fixtures, two additional poles were added; and the installation of 72 LF of concrete ribbon as requested by the CRA, for 242 SW 12 Ave. Change Order No. 1 (CO #1) is for relocation of an additional twenty-eight sewer cleanouts out of the area of the proposed sidewalk, in the amount of $16,907.80. Commission approval is also needed for a cost of $1,400.00 for removal of two (2) existing inlets. This request will be the last request for sewer cleanout relocations. The request is for the block from Atlantic Ave. to SW 1st St., as well as the block from SW 1st St. to SW 2nd St. The quantity of 28 includes all cleanouts located on these two blocks. The possibility exists that not all of the cleanouts will need relocation, but staff is requesting funding for all to prevent the need for further requests. Also, during construction it was discovered that there are a total of three (3) existing inlets to be removed; but the contract pay line item quantity is one (1). Therefore, the cost of the removal of the two (2) additional existing inlets is not included in the contract price. The cost for the additional inlet work is $1,400.00 and will be paid from the contract's Unforeseen Conditions Allowance which has an available balance of $8,798.73. Attached, please find the cost details on Exhibits "A" & "B" to CO #1, and a Location Map. FUNDING SOURCE $1,400.00 To be funded out of the Contract's Unforeseen Conditions Allowance; for the Inlets scope. $16,907.80 To be funded from 442-5178-536-68.04 (Water/Sewer Renewal & Replacement Fund/Improvements Other/SW 12 Av/Auburn/14 Av) after budget transfer; for the Sewer Cleanouts scope. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of Change Order No. 1 for additional scope in the total amount of $16,907.80, for relocation of an additional twenty-eight (28) sewer cleanouts; and approval for the amount of $1,400.00 for the removal of two (2) inlets to be paid out of the contract's Unforeseen Conditions Allowance; for the SW 12 Ave/Auburn/SW 14 Ave Project. MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Commissioners FROM: Begoña Krane, Engineer Richard C. Hasko, P.E., Environmental Servies Director THROUGH: David T. Harden, City Manager DATE: September 26, 2011 SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM 8.G. -REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF OCTOBER 4, 2011 REJECTION OF ALL BIDS/PAVEMENT ASSESSMENT PROJECT ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION This item is a staff recommendation that Commission reject all bids received for the City's Pavement Assessment Project and authorize staff to rebid the project with a modified scope. BACKGROUND The Engineering Division developed a scope of services for a city-wide pavement assessment program for the purpose of establishing a criteria driven condition rating of all city streets to be used in developing an asset management database for roadway related infrastructure. This database will be used for determining priorities for annual street reconstruction funding as well as identifying the most cost effective rehabilitation method for any particular street segment based on its condition. The scope of services generally includes a roadway inventory and pavement condition analysis using GIS focused technology compatible with the Cartegraph PavementView asset management module, and provision of that Cartegraph module as a deliverable. Out-of-vehicle site survey and evaluation methods are required as well as digital imagery of sample locations. A street sign inventory is also included in the project scope. The budget for this project is $50,000. Proposals for the performance of the project scope were solicited as RFP No. 2011-23, advertised on July 24, 2011, and responses were opened on August 18, 2011. Only one responsive proposal was received; submitted by Absolute Civil Engineering Solutions LLC, in the amount of $347,971.20. A second proposal was received from Transmap Corporation, however the schedule of pricing in that submittal was incomplete and, since a total dollar amount could not be determined, it was considered nonresponsive. Subsequent inquiries by staff indicate that the allocated budget is, in fact, commensurate with the established scope with the exception of the provision of the Cartegraph PavementView module. Staff requests that Commission reject the proposal by Absolute Civil Engineering Solutions LLC., and authorize rebidding of the project, removing the requirement to provide the Cartegraph PavementView module from the base scope. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends rejection of all bids for the pavement assessment project and rebidding the project with a modified scope. Adsolute Civil Engineering Solutions LLC ITEM EST.

Funding for the project is through the SHIP Housing Rehabilitation grant. BACKGROUND Approval is requested for one (1) Housing Rehabilitation contract to be awarded to the lowest responsive bidder for the following projects: n 336 SW 11th Avenue, Built Solid Construction, LLC./$30,431.54 = Total Rehab cost: $32,637.64 Awards are based on the actual cost of the rehabilitation, as determined by the low responsive bidder(s), plus a 5% contingency. Total rehab cost also includes lead inspection, lead abatement, lead clearance, termite inspection, termite treatment and recording fees, where applicable. Additional cost may be incurred for lead clearance test(s). The contingency may be used for change orders, and all unused funds will remain with the SHIP Housing Rehabilitation program. Inspection of work is done by the Department of Community Improvement’s Building Inspection and Neighborhood Services Divisions. Contracts are executed between the building contractor and the property owner. The City remains the agent and this office monitors all work performed by the contractor, ensuring compliance according to specifications and program guidelines. Pay request forms require both contractor and homeowner’s signatures. Grant recipients have met all eligibility requirements as specified in the approved Policies and Procedures. The rehabilitation activities will bring the homes to minimum code requirements by repairing the roof, electric and plumbing systems and correcting other incipient code violations. Detailed work write-ups and individual case files are available for review in the Neighborhood Services Division Office. The Neighborhood Services Division is responsible for ensuring that the housing rehabilitation contracts are awarded to the lowest responsive bidder, as a result of a formal bid process. Therefore, an in-house policy was created to limit awards to the lowest responsive bidder as it relates to the Division’s professional in-house estimate. This serves to disqualify unreasonably low bids and therefore, protect against the resulting change order requests. FUNDING SOURCE State Housing Initiatives Partnership 118-1924-554-49.19 RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends awarding one (1) Housing Rehabilitation contract to the lowest responsive bidder in the amount of $32,637.64.

Hasko, P.E., Environmental Services Director THROUGH: David T. Harden, City Manager DATE: September 28, 2011 SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM 8.O.2 -REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF OCTOBER 4, 2011 BID AWARD/WEST CONSTRUCTION, INC. ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION This item is before the Commission to consider approval of a bid award to West Construction, Inc., in the total amount of $197,156.00 for modifications to Worthing Park, Project #2006-061. BACKGROUND Worthing Park was originally the site of an 1896 commissary built by HJ Sterling, who later built the Casa Del Ray Hotel in 1925. Known for its rooftop restaurant and retractable roof, the three-story Casa Del Ray was later called the Bon Aire Hotel. The Bon Aire Hotel was demolished in October, 1968. Following demolition of the hotel the public park was established. At its meeting of June 8, 1970, the City Commission named the park Worthing Park in honor of Mr. R.D. Worthing for his 19 years of service as City Clerk. Over the past year, staff has been working with stakeholders associated with the Worthing Place mixed use development abutting the park to the south to coordinate park improvements with proposed ground floor restaurant and outdoor dining uses in an effort to stimulate use of the park and establish continuity with the proposed restaurants. Upon completion of that effort, construction documents for the project were completed and an advertisement soliciting competitive bids was published on July 31, 2011 Bids were opened on Wednesday, August 31, 2011. Three bids were received with West Construction submitting the lowest responsive proposal in the amount of $197,156.00. Attached is a location map as well as the bid tabulation. FUNDING SOURCE Funding is available from 117-4133-572-68.19 (Recreation Impact Fee Fund/Parks & Recreation/Worthing Park Improvements). RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of a bid award to West Construction, Inc., in the total amount of $197,156.00 for modifications to the Worthing Park.

Hasko, P.E.; Director of Environmental Services Department THROUGH: David Harden; City Manager DATE: September 20, 2011 SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM 8.O.3 -REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF OCTOBER 4, 2011 CONTRACT AWARD/BAKER'S TRANSPORT SERVICE ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION Request to approve an award to Baker’s Transport Services (BTS) in the amount not to exceed $300,000.00 for hauling and disposal of liquid lime slurry from the Water Treatment Plant (WTP). This is an annual award utilizing a cooperative procurement contract between Palm Beach County Water Utilities and Baker’s Transport Service. BACKGROUND In May 2009, staff initiated lime sludge disposal from the WTP with BTS. This disposal process has limited the amount of lime sludge that we stockpile to our lagoon and has provided treatment relief in alleviating an over saturation condition at the east thickener unit. Last fiscal year, City Commission approved an annual award in the net amount of $255,000 to BTS. This request is an annual award for fiscal year 2011/2012. The proposal is based on one load per day, Monday through Saturday. The terms and conditions are per an existing contract with BTS and Palm Beach County Water Utilities. Their agreement with Palm Beach County is through April 2012, with two (2) remaining 1 year renewal options at the county’s request. The County’s agreement does not have any increase to unit prices for fiscal year 2012. Thus, BTS will haul the slurry at a rate of $19.09 per ton, plus a mileage charge of $1.17 per mile. Currently, there are two facilities accepting the slurry product; one in Orlando (Orlando Utility Commission) and one in Pompano (Wheelabrator North Broward recycling facility), with most of the loads going to Orlando. The total amount requested for this annual period is $300,000. This is based on one load per day, six days a week, estimating all loads hauled to Orlando: ·26 liquid tons (per load) at $19.09/ton = $496.34 per load, plus $1.17/mile at 382 miles (round trip) = $943.28 per load delivered to OUC (Orlando Utility Commission) x 312 loads (estimated) = $294,303.36. Staff requests approval of an annual contract award to Baker’s Transport Service in an amount not to exceed $300,000 for disposal of lime slurry from the WTP for fiscal year 2012. FUNDING SOURCE Funding is available from Account # 441-5122-536-34-90, Water and Sewer Fund/Other Contractual Services. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of award in an amount not to exceed $300,000 to Baker’s Transport Service for disposal of lime slurry from the Water Treatment Plant.

Hasko, P.E.; Director of Environmental Services Department THROUGH: David Harden; City Manager DATE: September 21, 2011 SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM 8.O.5 -REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF OCTOBER 4, 2011 CONTRACT AWARD/LINE-TEC, INC. ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION Request to approve a blanket purchase order to Line-Tec, Inc. in the amount of $205,000.00 for three projects funded in fiscal year 2012; Water Service Relocations (P/N 12-025), Water Meter Replacements-Contract Services (P/N 12-024), and Fire Hydrant Flow Testing. The terms and conditions are based on the current competitively bid contract with the City of Boynton Beach for “Supply and Installation of Water Service Connections and Restoration”, Bid #033-2821-10/JA. BACKGROUND The Public Utilities Division requested funding for the annual water service relocation program with current year’s budget allocation at $25,000. This contract award will allow us to continue with our annual water service relocation program, changing rear yard water service meters to the front yard. All related work will be paid in accordance with the contract’s unit pricing. The request is in the amount of $25,000. Utilities staff also requested funding for contract services to support the annual water meter replacement program, with current year’s budget approved at $150,000. The program will initiate the replacement of aging water meters. Most of the meters in place were installed in 1997 during a City-wide change out program. To assist with this annual program, staff is requesting an award to Line-Tec in the amount of $150,000. This award will facilitate the replacement of approximately 4,300 small meters (less than 2”); the meters will be purchased by the City. The work will be paid in accordance to the unit contract items, estimated at $150,000. In addition, staff requested funding for performing flow tests on City fire hydrants. The current year’s budget was approved at $30,000. Fire hydrant water flow tests are conducted periodically per Insurance Service Office requirements. One of their requirements is that fire hydrants be inspected annually and flow tested every ten years. These flow tests are recorded and entered into a database to determine the amount of fire that can be extinguished with the available water from each hydrant. The Insurance Service Office uses the flow test records to help determine the fire department’s class rating. All the City’s fire hydrants need to be flow tested by the end of 2013 (our ten year mark). To accomplish this, one third of the hydrants are programmed to be tested each year. Last year, City Commission approved an award to Line-Tec for flow testing the first one third of our hydrants. This year’s award will allow testing of the second one third of the City’s 2,650 hydrants, with the last one third to be performed next fiscal year. Therefore, staff is requesting an award to Line-Tec in the net amount of $205,000 for providing services related to three programs; Water Service Relocations ($25,000), Water Meter Replacements ($150,000), and for Fire Hydrant Flow Testing ($30,000), utilizing contract pricing under an active City of Boynton Beach contract, expiring June 2012. Upon approval by City Commission, Line-Tec, Inc. will execute a “Standard Form of Agreement between the City and Contractor”.

ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION Request for Commission approval/authorization for contract award to Rosso Paving and Drainage, Inc. for construction of drainage improvments on Palm Trail in the amount of $92,699.00. BACKGROUND The work generally consists of the following: roadway reconstruction, drainage pipe, catch basins and curbing along with associated miscellaneous improvements. The project is to address drainage issue on N.E. Palm Trail just north of NE 5th Street. The property located at 509 N. E. Palm Trail sits at the low spot on the street and storm water from the street runoff floods the property when it rains. In April 2011, staff obtained three bids from three prequalified contractors (Hardrive, Inc., Rosso Paving and Drainage, Inc. and Murray Logan Construction, Inc.) with Hardrive being the lowest bid. A neighboring property owner expressed concerned as to the impact of the project on his property. Staff explored other designs to address the neighbor’s concerns and revised the plans. Staff contacted Hardrives, Inc. as to whether they would be able to hold their quoted price and due to design changes and material price increases Hardrive was unable. Staff asked for three bids from the same three contractors in August, with Rosso Paving and Drainage submitting the lowest bid. FUNDING SOURCE Funding is proposed from account 448-5461-538.68-69 (following budget transfer). Total project cost $92,699.00. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval.

Hasko, P.E.; Director of Environmental Services Department THROUGH: David Harden; City Manager DATE: September 21, 2011 SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM 8.O.7 -REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF OCTOBER 4, 2011 PURCHASE AWARD/SENSUS USA, INC. ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION Approve a purchase award to Sensus USA Inc. in an amount not to exceed $500,000.00 for the purchase of small water meters (P/N 12-023) for fiscal year 2012. BACKGROUND The Public Utilities Department requested annual funding for the replacement of aging water meters with the current year’s budget allocation at $500,000.00. This award is for purchasing a large quantity of small water meters, ranging in size from ¾-inch through 2-inch. Most of these meters are approaching 10 years or greater in service life, thus have exceeded their manufacturers’ recommended total metered flow for metering accuracy. Sensus USA Inc. is the City’s current vendor for water meters. This request is for water meters as follows per our active quote with Sensus, quote #21180, page 1 (items #2 and 4) and page 3 (under i-PERL meters, ¾” and 1”). Estimated quantities and size of each meter are as follows; 740 -¾” at $100.10 each ($74,074.00), 2,500 – 1” at $141.44 each ($353,600.00), 100 – 1.5” at $299.05 each ($29,905.00), and 100 – 2” at $419.70 each ($41,970.00), totaling $499,549.00. Sensus Technologies, Inc. was given a purchase award in January 1998 for purchase of small water meters and touch-read assemblies using a City of Cape Coral bid. The City now considers Sensus to be a sole source provider for unit standardization, maintenance and compatibility reasons. FUNDING SOURCE Funding is available from account account #442-5178-536-61.81, Water and Sewer Renewal & Replacement Fund/Water Meter Replacement Program. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends an award to Sensus USA Inc. in an amount not to exceed $500,000.00 for the purchase of small water meters under the Water Meter Replacement Program for FY 2012.

Employees who refuse or fail to participate in this "transitional physical fitness program" (unless determined medically unable to do so by the City physician), shall be subject to disciplinary action; however, during this transitional period, employees who fail to meet the standard of the program shall not be subject to disciplinary action although the results of their participation shall be kept by the City for statistical purposes. The P.B.A. agrees that during the contract period the City shall provide annual physicals including drug and alcohol screening for all employees of the bargaining unit, and that such annual physicals for employees age 40 and over shall be more comprehensive for such employees at five (5) year intervals. Such annual physicals shall occur within the calendar quarter in which the employee's anniversary date occurs. CITY OF DELRAY BEACH & POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION CONTRACT 2011-2014 48 ARTICLE 23 OUTSIDE EMPLOYMENT Section 1 No member of the bargaining unit may hold outside employment unless the employee's written request for approval of such employment is recommended for approval by the Police Chief and reviewed by Human Resources. The granting of such approval is expressly contingent upon the following: A. Assurance that the employee's City position is of primary importance; B. Consideration of the effect the outside employment may have upon the efficiency of the requesting employee; and C. Determination as to the compatibility of the outside employment with City employment. D. Payment to the City for such services, if applicable, shall be a rate to be set exclusively by the City Manager. Section 2 Application forms for outside endeavors shall be provided to the employee by the City annually and approval of such shall be renewable January first of each year. Outside employment shall be deemed to include ownership or part ownership of a business (but not including ownership of less than a controlling interest of stock of a publicly held corporation), as well as independent contracts by employees to provide labor, services, or materials. CITY OF DELRAY BEACH & POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION CONTRACT 2011-2014 49 Section 3 No member of the bargaining unit may work at any previously approved outside employment, nor at any future outside employment, while said member is on injury leave or restricted duty for a workers' compensation injury, unless additional express approval for such outside employment is obtained by the member from the Police Chief and the City Manager, who shall take into consideration the recommendation(s) from the employee's physician and/or from the City's physician. CITY OF DELRAY BEACH & POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION CONTRACT 2011-2014 50 ARTICLE 24 RESIGNATION Any employee who wishes to resign in good standing shall give the Police Chief written notice of his/her intention at least two (2) weeks prior to the date said resignation is to become effective, or shorter notice, with the approval of the Police Chief. Notice of resignation shall be immediately forwarded to Human Resources together with said employee’s termination forms. If any employee resigns without giving the required notice, the Police Chief shall notify Human Resources; Human Resources shall enter this fact on the employee’s records; and failure to give such required notice of resignation may be considered sufficient reason for rejecting any future application of said employee to reenter City Service. The Police Chief may enter good standing records for an employee who fails to give two (2) weeks notice if he/she feels there were extenuating circumstances. Any employee who is absent from duty for three (3) consecutive shifts without securing approved leave from the employee’s superior, may be considered to have resigned without notice. It shall be the duty of the Police Chief to report all unauthorized leaves immediately to Human Resource in the manner CITY OF DELRAY BEACH & POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION CONTRACT 2011-2014 51 prescribed. All such unauthorized leaves shall be posted on the employee’s records and may be considered in the employee’s merit ratings. CITY OF DELRAY BEACH & POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION CONTRACT 2011-2014 52 ARTICLE 25 NON-APPLICABILITY OF CIVIL SERVICE ACT, CIVIL SERVICE RULES AND REGULATIONS AND PERSONNEL POLICIES It is understood and agreed that the Civil Service Act and the Civil Service Code of Rules and Regulations of Delray Beach and any amendments thereto and the Personnel Policies shall have no applicability whatsoever to the employees covered by this Agreement except as modified herein. CITY OF DELRAY BEACH & POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION CONTRACT 2011-2014 53 ARTICLE 26 COMPREHENSIVE ALCOHOL AND DRUG ABUSE POLICY FOR CITY OF DELRAY BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT EMPLOYEES The City recognizes that Police Department employees are not immune from problems that confront society in general. The problems of drug and alcohol abuse are widespread throughout our community and nation. In the face of these problems, it is critical that the City of Delray Beach Police Department maintain a working environment free of alcohol and drug abuse. The primary objective of this policy is to provide a safe and healthful work environment for all employees, and thereby provide the highest level of service to the public. I. Definitions A. Alcohol abuse means the ingestion of alcohol or alcoholic beverages, on or off duty, which adversely affects the employee's ability to perform his or her job duties. The use, or being under the influence of alcohol or alcoholic beverages on the job by Police Department employees is strictly prohibited. B. Drug abuse means the ingestion of any controlled substance as defined in Section 893.03, Florida Statutes, as amended from time to time, not pursuant to a lawful prescription. The term drug abuse also includes the commission of any act prohibited by Chapter 893, Florida Statutes, as amended from time to time. CITY OF DELRAY BEACH & POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION CONTRACT 2011-2014 54 C. Illegal drugs means any controlled substance as defined in Section 893.03, Florida Statutes, as amended from time to time, not possessed or taken in accordance with a lawful prescription. II. Physical Fitness and Examinations A. Every applicant for Police Department employment (including applicants for full-time, part-time and volunteer positions), and each re-employed employee may be required to present proof that he or she is physically fit to perform the duties of the job which the applicant or re-employed employee seeks. Applicants for employment may be required to take a physical examination, including blood or urine tests for the presence of illegal drugs. Applicants for employment whose blood or urine is found to contain the presence of illegal drugs shall not be considered fit to perform the duties of the job which the applicant seeks. The physical examination shall be completed prior to the applicant's entry on the job. B. All Police Department employees, including managerial and supervisory employees, are required to take an annual physical examination at such times as may be specified within the calendar quarter in which the employee's anniversary date occurs. C. Any such annual physical examination taken by the Police Department employees shall include a blood/urine test for the presence of illegal drugs and alcohol. CITY OF DELRAY BEACH & POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION CONTRACT 2011-2014 55 D. All employees subject to certification by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement shall meet all statutory and regulatory physical and medical requirements for initial certification. E. The City Manager, or the Chief of Police, or an Assistant City Manager, or City Attorney, or Human Resources Director, may also require an employee to take a physical examination, that shall include a blood/urine test for the presence of illegal drugs or alcohol, at any time the City Manager or Police Chief, or Assistant City Manager, or City Attorney, or Human Resources Director reasonably believes that the employee is not physically or medically fit to perform his or her duties. F. Furthermore, the City Manager, or the Chief of Police, or Assistant City Manager, or City Attorney, or Human Resources Director may require an employee to take a physical examination and/or give a urine or blood specimen for testing whenever the City Manager, Chief, or other supervisory employee has a reasonable suspicion that the employee has been on duty, or has reported for duty, under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs. G. The use of illegal drugs on or off duty by employees of the Police Department is strictly prohibited. The City Manager or the Chief of Police, or Assistant City Manager, or City Attorney, or Human Resources Director may require an employee to take a physical examination and/or give a urine or blood specimen for testing whenever the City Manager, Chief of CITY OF DELRAY BEACH & POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION CONTRACT 2011-2014 56 Police, or other supervisory employee has a reasonable suspicion that the employee is using illegal drugs or under the influence of alcohol. A reasonable suspicion is a suspicion which is based on fact derived from the surrounding circumstances from which it is reasonable to infer that further investigation is warranted. H. Random testing for alcohol and/or controlled/illicit drugs shall be performed in conjunction with this Article. Random selections of employees will be made by a third-party contracted firm using a U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) approved random selection computer program. An employee selected for random testing shall be tested on the day his/her name is selected if on duty. If off-duty, the employee shall be tested on his/her next regular day of work. The total number of random drug tests given per year will not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the total number of bargaining unit members. No more than 10% of those selected for drug testing will be tested for alcohol. I. The City will pay the cost of any physical examinations and tests required by this policy. The examination will be performed by medical personnel selected by the City. Employees who take a physical examination or blood/urine test in accordance with this policy shall be required to sign an authorization releasing the records of such examinations and tests to the City. The City shall strictly observe and maintain the confidentiality of such employee medical records to the extent permitted by law. CITY OF DELRAY BEACH & POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION CONTRACT 2011-2014 57 J. Any employee who fails or refuses to take a physical examination or give a urine or blood sample in accordance with this policy shall be subject to disciplinary action up to and including dismissal. III. Blood/Urine Tests for the Presence of Alcohol and Drugs A. In testing for the presence of alcohol, the City shall utilize a generally accepted blood test procedure which produces quantitative results showing the amount of alcohol present in the blood. B. At the time the testing occurs, two (2) specimens of urine and two (2) specimens of blood shall be taken, the first set of which shall be used by the first laboratory and the second set of which shall be used by a second laboratory, if requested. In testing for the presence of illegal drugs and alcohol, the City shall submit the first set of the samples for testing, which, in the first instance, shall utilize an immunochemical assay or radioimmunoassay test on the employee's blood/urine. If the initial test is positive for an illegal drug or alcohol, the same blood/urine specimen shall be subjected to a further test using the gas chromatography, thin layer chromatography or gas chromatography/mass spectrometry method for verification. For non-probationary employees, if both the initial and verification tests are positive for an illegal drug or alcohol, the employee shall receive notification of results from the City in the manner set forth herein. In order to timely provide such notification, the employee shall be CITY OF DELRAY BEACH & POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION CONTRACT 2011-2014 58 required to contact by telephone or in person a City representative designated in advance by the City, not later than one (1) hour after a date and time specifically given to the employee for his/her requirement to contact a designated City representative by telephone. At the time the employee makes such contact, the employee must decide whether or not he/she wishes the second set of specimens provided at the initial collection to be further tested by the City. If the employee so requests, then this second set of specimens shall be tested by the City utilizing medical personnel different from that used by the City for the initial test. If the employee fails to contact the City representative within the time frame set forth above, or the employee does not request the testing of the second set of specimens, or if the employee does request the testing of the second set of specimens and it also tests positive for an illegal drug or alcohol, corrective action shall be taken as specified below. IV. Corrective Action A. Applicants for employment whose blood or urine is found to contain the presence of illegal drugs or under the influence of alcohol shall not be considered fit to perform the duties of the job which the applicant seeks. B. Employees (probationary and non-probationary) whose blood or urine is found to contain the presence of illegal drugs, or who have been found to have used or been under the CITY OF DELRAY BEACH & POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION CONTRACT 2011-2014 59 influence of illegal drugs or alcohol while on duty, shall be terminated. C. Any non-probationary employee who is found to have engaged in off-duty alcohol abuse which adversely affects the employee's ability to perform job duties may be placed on a leave of absence without pay for a period of up to sixty (60) days. The leave of absence may be extended for good cause by the City Manager up to an additional fifteen (15) days. The employee may use any accumulated sick leave or vacation during the leave of absence. The purpose of the leave of absence is to give the employee an opportunity to rehabilitate himself or herself from abusing alcohol. The City may assist the employee in locating an appropriate program of rehabilitation. Upon the successful completion of the rehabilitation program as certified by a physician designated by the City, the employee shall be eligible to return to City employment in the same or similar position to the one which the employee occupied before his or her leave of absence. Prior to resuming employment with the City, the employee shall be required to take a physical examination which shall include a blood or urine test for the presence of alcohol and/or illegal drugs. The returning employee shall be placed on probationary status for a period of one (1) year following his/her return to City employment. During the one year probationary period, the City may require the employee to take unannounced blood or urine tests for the presence of alcohol and/or illegal drugs. If at any time during the probationary period or thereafter, the employee's blood or CITY OF DELRAY BEACH & POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION CONTRACT 2011-2014 60 urine is found to contain the presence of alcohol or illegal drugs, utilizing the double testing procedures set forth in Section III(B), above, the employee shall be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal. CITY OF DELRAY BEACH & POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION CONTRACT 2011-2014 61 ARTICLE 27 DAMAGE TO CITY PROPERTY Section 1 Each police employee shall exercise due caution in the care and handling of all tools and equipment which may come into his/her custody, or over which he/she may have a degree of control. Any police employee who loses, misuses, or damages through his/her carelessness, negligence and/or intentional misconduct such tools or equipment provided by the City shall be subject to discipline. When in the judgment of the City a tool or piece of equipment is no longer safe or effective, due to normal wear and tear, the defective item shall be turned in to the City for replacement. No defective tool or piece of equipment shall be replaced by the City until the defective item is presented by the employee. All tools and equipment issued to a police employee by the City shall be returned to the City prior to the employee leaving City employment in the same condition as same was issued (normal wear and tear excepted). Section 2 The City will be responsible for full replacement costs for prescription glasses and contact lenses damaged on duty through no negligence of the employee provided the employee presents a replacement receipt at the time of replacement. The City will be responsible for replacement of damaged watches and nonprescription sunglasses up to fifty dollars ($50.00). The City CITY OF DELRAY BEACH & POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION CONTRACT 2011-2014 62 will not be responsible for the replacement of jewelry or other personal property carried at the employee's discretion.

A copy of the statement shall be furnished to the Police Chief. Section 3 If criminal charges have been formally instituted against an employee, the City Manager may place the employee on leave of absence with or without pay. During such leave of absence, the City may investigate and take appropriate disciplinary action against the employee. However, if the employee is subsequently found not guilty by a trial court of all of the criminal charges which had been instituted against the employee, and if no notice of potential CITY OF DELRAY BEACH & POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION CONTRACT 2011-2014 67 disciplinary action has been given, the employee shall be reinstated and awarded back pay for the period of said leave of absence.

CITY OF DELRAY BEACH & POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION CONTRACT 2010-2013 20 ARTICLE 9 HOURS OF WORK AND OVERTIME Section 1 The work cycle for regular full time employees shall be eighty (80) hours in a 2-week cycle. The number of hours per day and days per week shall be determined by the Police Chief. Work schedules of bargaining unit members shall be established and implemented in the sole and exclusive discretion of the Police Chief. Section 2 It is recognized and understood that deviations from the foregoing normal schedules of work will be necessary and will unavoidably result from several causes, such as but not limited to: rotation of shifts, vacation, leaves of absence, weekend and holiday duty, absenteeism, employee requests, temporary shortage of personnel, and emergencies. No such deviation shall be considered a violation of this contract. Recognizing that the Department has an obligation to provide sufficient manpower, the City will attempt to avoid causing an employee covered by this Agreement to work two (2) consecutive shifts, except in unusual circumstances as determined by the Chief of Police or his authorized designee. CITY OF DELRAY BEACH & POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION CONTRACT 2010-2013 21 Section 3 For all employees the scheduled work day shall be broken down into fifteen (15) minute segments. An employee shall be noted as late for work if he/she does not report ready for work at his/her work station at his/her starting time. If an employee reports for work late, eight (8) minutes or more after the scheduled time, he/she shall be docked in major segments of one-quarter (1/4) of an hour. Section 4 The City agrees to pay overtime at the rate of time-and-ahalf after eighty (80) hours based on a 14-day work cycle. This work cycle shall coincide with the bi-weekly pay periods. Overtime compensation will be computed at the end of each 14-day work cycle with compensation for same being on the following paycheck. In the computation of such overtime compensation, employees shall receive credited hours for any vacation days, and compensatory time which may occur within the pay cycle. Employees shall not receive credited hours for any sick leave, holidays, union time pool or any other leave time except workers compensation which may occur within the pay cycle. Section 5 Both parties hereto agree, and the P.B.A. acknowledges, that the City has declared members of the bargaining unit to be "7(k)" employees for purposes of application of the Fair Labor Standards Act. Forms acknowledging this fact for each CITY OF DELRAY BEACH & POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION CONTRACT 2010-2013 22 individual employee shall be provided by the City for acknowledgment by the employee. Section 6 Credit towards overtime shall not be accrued until an employee has worked eight (8) or more minutes beyond his/her normal schedule for the day. Once that eight (8) or more minutes has been worked, he/she shall accrue overtime credit for that fifteen (15) minute segment and subsequently for any additional fifteen (15) minute segments, computed in a like manner. Section 7 If an employee covered by this Agreement is called out to work outside his/her normal working hours, he/she shall receive a minimum of three (3) hours pay at time and one-half (1 1/2) his or her regular rate of pay. Section 8 Officers and Sergeants working 11.5 hour schedules work a total of 80.5 hours within each pay period. Every employee under this deployment schedule will be given off ½ hour every pay period. CITY OF DELRAY BEACH & POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION CONTRACT 2010-2013 23 Section 9 1. Upon the mutual agreement of the employee and the City, an employee will be awarded compensatory time at the rate of one and one-half hours of compensatory time for each hour of overtime worked, in lieu of overtime pay. 2. The maximum amount of compensatory time that any employee can accrue is 72 hours. When an employee accrues the maximum permissible compensatory leave, the employee shall be paid for all overtime hours in excess of the maximum at the rate of one and one-half times the employee's current rate of pay. 3. Employees wishing to use accrued compensatory time shall make a request to do so to their Shift Commander at least 48 hours in advance of the time that the employee wishes to use the leave time. Requests to use accrued compensatory time with less than 48 hours notice may be approved in extraordinary circumstances, as determined by the Police Chief or designee. 4. Requests to use accrued compensatory time shall be reviewed on a first come, first serve basis, and approved based on the operational needs of the shift for the time period requested, as determined by management. When an employee’s request to use compensatory time off is denied as to specific dates, the City will upon request, advise CITY OF DELRAY BEACH & POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION CONTRACT 2010-2013 24 the employee of alternate dates that are available to schedule compensatory time off. Because of the unique staffing needs of law enforcement agencies, no employee can be guaranteed that his or her request to take compensatory leave on a particular day or days will always be granted. However, employees who request the use of compensatory time shall be permitted to use such time within a reasonable period after making the request, if the use of compensatory time does not unduly disrupt the operations of the department. The request will be deemed to have been granted within a reasonable period if the City offers to allow the employee to take compensatory time off within one-hundred eighty (180) days of the final date requested by the employee. EXAMPLE: On February 1, 2005, an employee requests to take compensatory leave beginning on March 1 and ending on March 5, 2005. Management denies the requests for those particular dates. The request will be deemed to have been granted within a reasonable period if the Employer offers alternate compensatory time off on or before August 27, 2005. In the event the request to use compensatory time cannot be granted within a reasonable time as defined in this subsection, the employee may elect to be paid for the compensatory time that was not granted. CITY OF DELRAY BEACH & POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION CONTRACT 2010-2013 25 5. Employees may request to use compensatory time to take off earlier than the time that the employee’s shift ends. Because of the nature of law enforcement services, there are certain activities performed by police officers which cannot be postponed until a later date, and cannot be transferred to another officer for completion. Examples of such activities include, but are not limited to: processing of an arrest; completion of arrest or incident reports; continuation of an ongoing pursuit. Therefore, where such requests to use compensatory time are granted, the approval shall be made on a “conditional” basis, as follows: In the event that an employee is involved in a task or activity that cannot be postponed until a later date, and cannot be completed by another officer, at the time the compensatory leave is scheduled to begin, the compensatory leave will be postponed until the employee has completed the task or activity. In such cases, the employee’s compensatory leave account will not be charged for the time that he or she is held over. The employee will continue to be paid for the time he or she is held over at the otherwise applicable rate of pay. Employees who are given conditional approval to use compensatory time to take off earlier than the time the employee’s shift normally ends, and then who are required to remain on duty, are not entitled to call out pay. CITY OF DELRAY BEACH & POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION CONTRACT 2010-2013 26 6. Upon termination of employment for any reason, employees shall be paid for all accrued compensatory time at the employee’s regular rate of pay at the time of the separation. Section 10 An employee who is temporarily and continuously assigned by the proper authority to perform the duties of a higher classification for more than three (3) consecutive shifts, will be compensated for the time spent in the higher classification at a rate of five percent (5%) above his/her regular base salary. Once additional compensation commences, it will be paid retroactive to when the employee first began the continuous service as an acting supervisor, and shall continue until the employee's continuous service as an acting supervisor ceases. CITY OF DELRAY BEACH & POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION CONTRACT 2010-2013 27 ARTICLE 10 WAGES Section 1 It is agreed between the parties that the salary schedule for bargaining unit employees is as follows: Fiscal Years 2010-2013 Police Officer (in training) $36,863 Section 2 Upon the Police Department certifying that a police officer-in-training has completed the Academy Training program and has passed the State Certification Exam, such officer shall be placed in Step 1 for the classification of Police Officer. If the employee is hired as a police officer-in-training , the employee’s performance evaluation date shall be the date the Police Department certifies such employee as an entry level Police Officer.

All employees will report to the Communications Section. Reporting must be done by the employee himself/herself, and any failure to report shall be considered as absence without leave. The Police Chief or his designee may investigate absences on account of sickness to determine their validity. When absence is for three or more working days, the Police Chief may require the employee to provide a certificate from a physician, certifying to the actual disability of the employee, or may require a letter from the employee explaining the reasons for such absence. Violations of this policy may result in discipline up to and including termination. Section 5 In case of death of an employee, payment for unused sick leave, pursuant to Section 3, shall be made to the employee’s beneficiary, estate or otherwise provided by law. CITY OF DELRAY BEACH & POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION CONTRACT 2010-2013 44 ARTICLE 16 LEAVES OF ABSENCE WITH PAY Employees may be granted leaves of absence with pay upon approval of the Police Chief and the City Manager for the following: A. Jury duty or other required appearances before a court or other public body, except such appearances required because of the personal matters of the employee or his family. B. Official training courses such as conferences, conventions, workshops, or similar meetings approved by the City. Under these provisions, no overtime pay will be considered. Leaves of absence with pay will not be considered as hours actually worked in the computation of time-and-a-half payment of overtime at the end of the work cycle during which they occurred unless such leaves are directly concerned with City business and the employee was directed by the Police Chief to use such leave in order to conduct City business.

Section 2 Subject to supervisory approval, the choice of vacation periods shall be as follows: Vacation periods shall be chosen on the basis of seniority. Seniority for the choice of vacation shall be calculated based on the beginning date of an employee's most recent period of continuous paid service with the Police Department. If more than one employee started with the Police Department on the same date, then seniority for those employees shall be established based on the date they filed an application for employment. If more than one employee filed an application for employment on the same date, seniority for those employees shall be based on the alphabetical order of their last names. Vacation periods for sergeants shall be chosen on the basis of seniority. Seniority for the choice of vacation shall be CITY OF DELRAY BEACH & POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION CONTRACT 2010-2013 55 calculated based on time in rank with the police department.

The City further agrees that no new employees in a particular classification will be hired for one (1) year or until all employees in that particular classification on layoff have been given the opportunity to return to work, whichever comes first, in accordance with the provisions of this article. "Recall" from layoff shall mean notifying a laid off employee to return to work by registered mail sent to the last address listed with the Department as his home address or by giving a laid off employee personal notice to return to work. If the affected employee has not responded to recall within three (3) work days CITY OF DELRAY BEACH & POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION CONTRACT 2010-2013 56 of the return receipt date on the recall notice or if the recall notice is returned by the Post Office to the City due to inability to locate the addressee, or if the affected employee has not responded to personal notice recall within three (3) work days, then that employee shall be considered to have refused recall. Section 4 Shift work assignments shall be made according to seniority. For purposes of this section, seniority is defined as the amount of continuous service an employee has in his/her rank. Shift selection shall occur one time annually. 1. All efforts shall be made by the City to abide by seniority as it affects shift work assignments. In those instances where the City determines that the compelling need of the City outweighs the individual employees seniority right to shift selection, that City may veto that selection based upon just cause. The affected employee shall have the right to appeal this veto through the chain of command to the level of Chief of Police who shall possess the power of final and binding arbitrator. 2. Management reserves the right to determine the staffing levels. 3. The City shall not make a shift assignment that is arbitrary and capricious.

However, the use of the Civil Service Board by the Personnel Department in such a manner shall not be construed as providing the Civil Service Board with any jurisdiction. CITY OF DELRAY BEACH & POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION CONTRACT 2010-2013 59 Employees do not have the right to file any appeals or grievances with the Civil Service Board relative to the examinations, including, but not limited to the examinations, conditions, scores, and the contents of the examinations themselves.

Should the City so elect, the P.B.A. shall have the opportunity, upon notice in advance, to bargain the content of and the standards for such physical fitness program. However, once so determined by the parties, all employees of the bargaining unit shall be required to participate in the program unless determined medically unable to do so by the City's physician.

The P.B.A. agrees that during the contract period the City shall provide annual physicals including drug and alcohol screening for all employees of the bargaining unit, and that such annual physicals for employees age 40 and over shall be more comprehensive for such employees at five (5) year intervals. Such annual physicals shall occur within the CITY OF DELRAY BEACH & POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION CONTRACT 2010-2013 63 calendar quarter in which the employee's anniversary date occurs. CITY OF DELRAY BEACH & POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION CONTRACT 2010-2013 64 ARTICLE 27 OUTSIDE EMPLOYMENT Section 1 No member of the bargaining unit may hold outside employment unless the employee's written request for approval of such employment is recommended for approval by the Police Chief and reviewed by Human Resources. The granting of such approval is expressly contingent upon the following: A. Assurance that the employee's City position is of primary importance; B. Consideration of the effect the outside employment may have upon the efficiency of the requesting employee; and C. Determination as to the compatibility of the outside employment with City employment. D. Payment to the City for such services shall be a rate to be set exclusively by the City Manager.

Notice of resignation shall be immediately forwarded to Human Resources together with said employee’s termination forms. If any employee resigns without giving the required notice, the Police Chief shall notify Human Resources; Human Resources shall enter this fact on the employee’s records; and failure to give such required notice of resignation may be considered sufficient reason for rejecting any future application of said employee to reenter City Service. The Police Chief may enter good standing records for an employee who fails to give two (2) weeks notice if he/she feels there were extenuating circumstances. Any employee who is absent from duty for three (3) consecutive shifts without securing approved leave from the employee’s superior, may be considered to have resigned without notice.

CITY OF DELRAY BEACH & POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION CONTRACT 2010-2013 69 ARTICLE 30 COMPREHENSIVE ALCOHOL AND DRUG ABUSE POLICY FOR CITY OF DELRAY BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT EMPLOYEES The City recognizes that Police Department employees are not immune from problems that confront society in general. The problems of drug and alcohol abuse are widespread throughout our community and nation. In the face of these problems, it is critical that the City of Delray Beach Police Department maintain a working environment free of alcohol and drug abuse. The primary objective of this policy is to provide a safe and healthful work environment for all employees, and thereby provide the highest level of service to the public. I. Definitions A. Alcohol abuse means the ingestion of alcohol or alcoholic beverages, on or off duty, which adversely affects the employee's ability to perform his or her job duties. The use, or being under the influence of alcohol or alcoholic beverages on the job by Police Department employees is strictly prohibited. B. Drug abuse means the ingestion of any controlled substance as defined in Section 893.03, Florida Statutes, as amended from time to time, not pursuant to a lawful prescription. The term drug abuse also includes the commission of any act prohibited by Chapter 893, Florida Statutes, as amended from time to time. CITY OF DELRAY BEACH & POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION CONTRACT 2010-2013 70 C. Illegal drugs means any controlled substance as defined in Section 893.03, Florida Statutes, as amended from time to time, not possessed or taken in accordance with a lawful prescription. II.

Every applicant for Police Department employment (including applicants for full-time, part-time and volunteer positions), and each re-employed employee may be required to present proof that he or she is physically fit to perform the duties of the job which the applicant or re-employed employee seeks. Applicants for employment may be required to take a physical examination, including blood or urine tests for the presence of illegal drugs. Applicants for employment whose blood or urine is found to contain the presence of illegal drugs shall not be considered fit to perform the duties of the job which the applicant seeks. The physical examination shall be completed prior to the applicant's entry on the job. B.

CITY OF DELRAY BEACH & POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION CONTRACT 2010-2013 71 D. All employees subject to certification by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement shall meet all statutory and regulatory physical and medical requirements for initial certification. E. The City Manager, or the Chief of Police, or an Assistant City Manager, or City Attorney, or Human Resources Director, may also require an employee to take a physical examination, that shall include a blood/urine test for the presence of illegal drugs or alcohol, at any time the City Manager or Police Chief, or Assistant City Manager, or City Attorney, or Human Resources Director reasonably believes that the employee is not physically or medically fit to perform his or her duties. F. Furthermore, the City Manager, or the Chief of Police, or Assistant City Manager, or City Attorney, or Human Resources Director may require an employee to take a physical examination and/or give a urine or blood specimen for testing whenever the City Manager, Chief, or other supervisory employee has a reasonable suspicion that the employee has been on duty, or has reported for duty, under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs. G. The use of illegal drugs on or off duty by employees of the Police Department is strictly prohibited. The City Manager or the Chief of Police, or Assistant City Manager, or City Attorney, or Human Resources Director may require an employee to take a physical examination and/or give a urine or blood specimen for testing whenever the City Manager, Chief of CITY OF DELRAY BEACH & POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION CONTRACT 2010-2013 72 Police, or other supervisory employee has a reasonable suspicion that the employee is using illegal drugs or under the influence of alcohol. A reasonable suspicion is a suspicion which is based on fact derived from the surrounding circumstances from which it is reasonable to infer that further investigation is warranted. H. Random testing for alcohol and/or controlled/illicit drugs shall be performed in conjunction with this Article. Random selections of employees will be made by a third-party contracted firm using a U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) approved random selection computer program. An employee selected for random testing shall be tested on the day his/her name is selected if on duty. If off-duty, the employee shall be tested on his/her next regular day of work. The total number of random drug tests given per year will not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the total number of bargaining unit members. No more than 10% of those selected for drug testing will be tested for alcohol. I. The City will pay the cost of any physical examinations and tests required by this policy. The examination will be performed by medical personnel selected by the City. Employees who take a physical examination or blood/urine test in accordance with this policy shall be required to sign an authorization releasing the records of such examinations and tests to the City. The City shall strictly observe and maintain the confidentiality of such employee medical records to the extent permitted by law. CITY OF DELRAY BEACH & POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION CONTRACT 2010-2013 73 J. Any employee who fails or refuses to take a physical examination or give a urine or blood sample in accordance with this policy shall be subject to disciplinary action up to and including dismissal. III. Blood/Urine Tests for the Presence of Alcohol and Drugs A. In testing for the presence of alcohol, the City shall utilize a generally accepted blood test procedure which produces quantitative results showing the amount of alcohol present in the blood. B. At the time the testing occurs, two (2) specimens of urine and two (2) specimens of blood shall be taken, the first set of which shall be used by the first laboratory and the second set of which shall be used by a second laboratory, if requested. In testing for the presence of illegal drugs and alcohol, the City shall submit the first set of the samples for testing, which, in the first instance, shall utilize an immunochemical assay or radioimmunoassay test on the employee's blood/urine. If the initial test is positive for an illegal drug or alcohol, the same blood/urine specimen shall be subjected to a further test using the gas chromatography, thin layer chromatography or gas chromatography/mass spectrometry method for verification. For non-probationary employees, if both the initial and verification tests are positive for an illegal drug or alcohol, the employee shall receive notification of results from the City in the manner set forth herein. In order to timely provide such notification, the employee shall be CITY OF DELRAY BEACH & POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION CONTRACT 2010-2013 74 required to contact by telephone or in person a City representative designated in advance by the City, not later than one (1) hour after a date and time specifically given to the employee for his/her requirement to contact a designated City representative by telephone. At the time the employee makes such contact, the employee must decide whether or not he/she wishes the second set of specimens provided at the initial collection to be further tested by the City. If the employee so requests, then this second set of specimens shall be tested by the City utilizing medical personnel different from that used by the City for the initial test. If the employee fails to contact the City representative within the time frame set forth above, or the employee does not request the testing of the second set of specimens, or if the employee does request the testing of the second set of specimens and it also tests positive for an illegal drug or alcohol, corrective action shall be taken as specified below. IV. Corrective Action A. Applicants for employment whose blood or urine is found to contain the presence of illegal drugs or under the influence of alcohol shall not be considered fit to perform the duties of the job which the applicant seeks. B. Employees (probationary and non-probationary) whose blood or urine is found to contain the presence of illegal drugs, or who have been found to have used or been under the CITY OF DELRAY BEACH & POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION CONTRACT 2010-2013 75 influence of illegal drugs or alcohol while on duty, shall be terminated. C. Any non-probationary employee who is found to have engaged in off-duty alcohol abuse which adversely affects the employee's ability to perform job duties may be placed on a leave of absence without pay for a period of up to sixty (60) days. The leave of absence may be extended for good cause by the City Manager up to an additional fifteen (15) days. The employee may use any accumulated sick leave or vacation during the leave of absence. The purpose of the leave of absence is to give the employee an opportunity to rehabilitate himself or herself from abusing alcohol. The City may assist the employee in locating an appropriate program of rehabilitation. Upon the successful completion of the rehabilitation program as certified by a physician designated by the City, the employee shall be eligible to return to City employment in the same or similar position to the one which the employee occupied before his or her leave of absence. Prior to resuming employment with the City, the employee shall be required to take a physical examination which shall include a blood or urine test for the presence of alcohol and/or illegal drugs.

This clause, however, shall not be construed to permit either party to present issues through their written statements that would not otherwise be subject to the grievance and arbitration provisions of this Contract. G. Each party shall bear the expense of its own witnesses and its own representatives. The parties shall bear equally the expense of the impartial arbitrator. Any CITY OF DELRAY BEACH & POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION CONTRACT 2010-2013 98 party requesting a copy of the transcript of such arbitration hearing shall bear the cost of same. Section 4 A.

CITY OF DELRAY BEACH & POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION CONTRACT 2010-2013 103 If the arbitrator finds that the City has complied with (a) through (g), the discipline determined by the City shall be upheld.

ATTEST: POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION _________________________ By:___________________________ Bruce Koeser John Kazanjian, President Human Resources Director _______________________________ Gary Lippman, General Counsel MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Commissioners FROM: Amy E. Alvarez, Historic Preservation Planner Paul Dorling, AICP, Director of Planning and Zoning THROUGH: David T. Harden, City Manager DATE: September 28, 2011 SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM 9.A. -REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF OCTOBER 4, 2011 WAIVER REQUEST/DECK 84 ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION The action requested of the City Commission is approval of a waiver to LDR Section 4.4.13(F)(4)(a)2., to reduce the required front setback from five feet (5’) to eight inches (8”), to allow for the installation of a support column and knee wall associated with new sliding glass doors in the same location as the existing windows. BACKGROUND At its meeting of September 21, 2011, the Historic Preservation Board (HPB) approved with conditions a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) and Class I Site Plan Modification for elevation changes on the front and rear facades of Deck 84. The HPB considered this waiver request concurrently with the COA and Site Plan requests and recommended approval on a vote of 7-0. The alterations on the front façade involves the replacement of the existing fixed windows with sliding glass doors and the installation of a framing support column which will encroach into the five foot (5’) front setback. WAIVER ANALYSIS Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.7(B)(5), prior to granting a waiver, the approving body shall make a finding that the granting of the waiver: (a) Shall not adversely affect the neighboring area; (b) Shall not significantly diminish the provision of public facilities; (c) Shall not create an unsafe situation; and (d) Does not result in the grant of a special privilege in that the same waiver would be granted under similar circumstances on other property for another applicant or owner. Request: Pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.13, (F)(4)(a)2, Central Business District, Development Standards, Building Frontage, the minimum front setback for buildings with nonresidential uses on the ground floor is five feet. The proposed support column for the sliding doors is within the required five foot (5’) setback area, as it is located approximately eight inches (8”) from the front property line. This encroachment is the same as the encroachment of the existing fixed windows. In consideration of the above, (a) the granting of the waiver request will not adversely affect the surrounding commercial area, which may benefit from the additional interaction along the streetscape; (b) the granting of the waiver request will not diminish or impact public facilities as the improvement will not encroach on the public right of way and may enhance the public sidewalk area as the doors will be able to open up and create an indoor/outdoor atmosphere among the sidewalk pedestrians and the restaurant patrons, as occurs further west along Atlantic Avenue; (c) an unsafe situation will not be created by the proposed improvements as they are associated with sliding doors, which will not encroach into the right of way; and, (d) the granting of the waiver request will not result in a special privilege in that the encroachment is minimal, already exists, does not span the entire building and is contained within the existing awning. Further, a portion of the building already exists within the required setback area and this will infill this encroachment. Based on the above, positive findings can be made with respect to the waiver request and reduction of the front setback from five feet (5’) to eight inches (8”). RECOMMENDATION Approve the waiver to LDR Section 4.4.13, (F)(4)(a)2, to reduce the front setback from five feet (5’) to eight inches (8”) to allow a support column on a knee wall, based upon positive findings with respect to the LDR Section 2.4.7(B)(5). 1 IN THE CITY COMMISSION CHAMBERS OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA WAIVER REQUEST FOR DECK 84 840 EAST ATLANTIC AVENUE ORDER OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA 1. The waiver request has come before the City Commission on October 4, 2011. The waiver request is to reduce the required front setback from five feet (5’) to eight inches (8”) to allow for the installation of a support column and knee wall associated with new sliding glass doors. 2. The Applicant and City staff presented documentary evidence and testimony to the City Commission pertaining to the waiver request for Deck 84. All of the evidence is a part of the record in this case. I. Waiver. Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.7(B)(5), prior to granting a waiver, the approving body shall make a finding that the granting of the waiver: (a) shall not adversely affect the neighboring area; (b) shall not significantly diminish the provision of public facilities; (c) shall not create an unsafe situation; and (d) does not result in the grant of a special privilege in that the same waiver would be granted under similar circumstances on other property for another applicant or owner. Front Setback. Per LDR Section 4.4.13(F)(4)(a)2, the minimum front setback for buildings with nonresidential uses on the ground floor is five feet. The proposed support column for the sliding doors is proposed within the required five foot (5’) setback area, as it is located approximately eight inches (8”) from the front property line. The encroachment will align with a similar encroachment of the existing fixed windows. Should a waiver to Section 4.4.13(F)(4)(a)2 be granted?

McDuffie, Mayor ________________________________ Chevelle Nubin, City Clerk MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Commissioners FROM: Amy E. Alvarez, Historic Preservation Planner Paul Dorling, AICP, Director of Planning and Zoning THROUGH: City Manager DATE: September 30, 2011 SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM 9.B. -REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF OCTOBER 4, 2011 CONSIDERATION OF AN APPEAL OF THE HPB'S DECISION/85 S.E. 6TH AVENUE/CLASS III SITE PLAN MODIFICATION ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION The action requested of the City Commission is consideration of an appeal of the Historic Preservation Board’s (HPB) decision made on August 21, 2011. The HPB’s motion to approve the Class III Site Plan Modification at 85 SE 6th Avenue failed on a 0-5 vote, based upon findings that the request was inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan and did not meet the criteria set forth in the Land Development Regulations, the Delray Beach Historic Preservation Design Guidelines, and the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation. BACKGROUND At its meeting of August 16, 1995, the HPB approved a COA for two (2) of the three (3) on-site buildings including the conversion of the Blank House from single-family residence to retail use (Building A), the conversion of a garage to office use and addition of a second story residential apartment (Building B), and the construction of a nine-space, pea-rock parking area off of SE 1st Street. The third building (Building C) was, and remains, a multi-family residence. The single family residence (Building A) was subsequently converted to retail use and the garage was converted to office use. Building permits were not obtained for the conversion of the garage nor was the parking area required for this conversion ever installed. As a result, the office use was never legally established. In October of 1995, the retail use (Building A) was legally converted to restaurant use and the second floor to a storage area. Between 1995 and 2004 as the illegal status of the office use continued to surface, Site Plan Applications were submitted and approved for the conversion of use with associated parking improvements. Each application was allowed to expire and none of the required improvements were ever constructed. The latest approval of August 3, 2004 permitted the applicant to pay for two (2) parking spaces and included installation of the balance of required spaces on site (a total of four new spaces just south of the City’s public parking lot and retention of three existing spaces off the alley on the east side of the property). As with previous approvals, no improvements were constructed, no payments of in-lieu of parking fees were made, and the approvals expired. At its August 21, 2011 meeting, the HPB reviewed yet another attempt after 16 years to address the office conversion. This request was to waive all required parking (6 spaces) associated with the Class III Site Plan Modification for the office space. This request was not supported and the appeal of both the denial of the waiver (separate Commission item) and this Class III Site Plan Modification are now before the City Commission. If the Class III Site Plan Modification is approved by City Commission, the approval should include the following conditions: 1. That a traffic statement be provided; 2. That a current floor plan be submitted; 3. That compliance with handicap accessibility within the office space be indicated; and, 4. That a decorative bicycle rack be provided on-site. REVIEW BY OTHERS The Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) considered the subject request at its March 10, 2011 meeting, where they recommended denial of the waiver to the required parking. The Board also requested that the item return for further review when “a solution is worked out.” The Downtown Development Authority (DDA) considered the subject request at its March 14, 2011 meeting, where the Board unanimously recommended to “decline” the request to waive all six (6) of the required spaces. Direction was given to the applicant to work out an alternative approach with Staff, and return to the DDA for further review. The Parking Management Advisory Board (PMAB) considered the subject request at its June 28, 2011 meeting, where a recommendation to deny the request as presented. The Board suggested that the applicant work with Staff and accommodate three (3) spaces on site and provide the balance either through an off-site parking agreement, or via the in-lieu of parking fee. RECOMMENDATION Deny the appeal, thereby upholding the Historic Preservation Board’s action of denial.

The Standards (36 CFR Part 67) apply to historic buildings of all periods, styles, types, materials, and sizes. They apply to both the exterior and the interior of historic buildings. The Standards also encompass related landscape features and the building's site and environment as well as attached, adjacent, or related new construction. 1. A property shall be used for its historic purpose or be placed in a new use that requires minimal change to the defining characteristics of the building and its site and environment. 2. The historic character of a property shall be retained and preserved. The removal of historic materials or alteration of features and spaces that characterize a property shall be avoided. 3. Each property shall be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use. Changes that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural features or architectural elements from other buildings, shall not be undertaken. 4. Most properties change over time; those changes that have acquired historic significance in their own right shall be retained and preserved. 5. Distinctive features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a historic property shall be preserved. 6. Deteriorated historic features shall be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature shall match the old in design, color, texture, and other visual qualities and, where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features shall be substantiated by documentary, physical, or pictorial evidence. 7. Chemical or physical treatments, such as sandblasting, that cause damage to historic materials shall not be used. The surface cleaning of structures, if appropriate, shall be undertaken using the gentlest means possible. 8. Significant archeological resources affected by a project shall be protected and preserved. If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures shall be undertaken. 9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historic materials that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated from the old and shall be compatible with the massing, size, scale, and architectural features to protect the historic integrity of the property and its environment. 10.New additions and adjacent or related new construction shall be undertaken in such a manner that if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be unimpaired. MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Commissioners FROM: Amy E. Alvarez, Historic Preservation Planner Paul Dorling, AICP, Director of Planning and Zoning THROUGH: David T. Harden, City Manager DATE: September 30, 2011 SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM 9.B.1 -REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF OCTOBER 4, 2011 CONSIDERATION OF AN APPEAL/HPB'S DECISION/WAIVER REQUEST ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION The action requested of the City Commission is consideration of an appeal of the Historic Preservation Board’s (HPB) rejection of the waiver request on August 21, 2011. The HPB’s motion to approve the waiver of required parking spaces at 85 SE 6th Avenue failed on a 0-5 vote, based upon a failure to make positive findings to LDR Section 4.5.1(E)(3)(b)2. BACKGROUND On August 16, 1995, the HPB approved a COA for two (2) of the three (3) on-site buildings including the conversion of the Blank House from single-family residence to retail use (Building A), the conversion of a garage to office use and addition of a second story residential apartment (Building B), and the construction of a nine-space, pea-rock parking area off of SE 1st Street. The third building (Building C) was, and remains, a multi-family residence. The single family residence (Building A) was subsequently converted to retail use and the garage was converted to office use. Building permits were not obtained for the conversion of the garage nor was the parking area required for this conversion ever installed. As a result, the office use was never legally established. In October of 1995, the retail use (Building A) was legally converted to restaurant use and the second floor to a storage area. Between 1995 and 2004 as the illegal status of the office use continued to surface, Site Plan Applications were submitted and approved for the conversion of use with associated parking improvements. Each application was allowed to expire and none of the required improvements were ever constructed. The latest approval of August 3, 2004 permitted the applicant to pay for two (2) parking spaces and included the installation of the balance of required spaces on site (a total of four new spaces just south of the City’s public parking lot and retention of three existing spaces off the alley on the east side of property). As with previous approvals, no improvements were constructed, no payments of in-lieu of parking fees were made, and the approvals expired. At its August 21, 2011 meeting, the HPB reviewed yet another attempt, after 16 years, to address the office conversion. This request was to waive all required parking (6 spaces) for the office space conversion. This request was denied and the appeal of that denial is now before the City Commission. WAIVER: Pursuant to LDR Section 4.5.1(E)(3)(b)2., waivers may be granted by the Historic Preservation Board for relief from the number of parking spaces required in Section 4.6.9 upon presentation of confirmation that adequate parking for a proposed use may be achieved by alternate means which are found to be in keeping with the provisions and intent of the Delray Beach Historic Preservation Design Guidelines. Confirmation that adequate parking can be achieved has not been presented. Past site plan submittals have been approved which adequately provided the required amount of parking and were found to be appropriate and compatible to the historic property. Further, in 2004, additional options were approved to provide for a portion of the parking on-site and a portion via in-lieu. None of these options were followed up on or completed. Waiving the required parking spaces altogether will have the potential to adversely affect the neighboring area in that the required parking for this private project will utilize public parking spaces, thereby reducing the number of public spaces available for other users. In addition to the above, it should be considered that while relief may be granted to the amount of required parking spaces, the intent of this “benefit” afforded to historic properties is not to excuse the provision of all parking but to provide alternatives. Otherwise, one could conclude that parking on historic properties converted to office use is not necessary. It is noted that the parking requirement currently being applied is significantly less than the current code requirement. To understand the intensity of the uses on the site, and what their parking requirement would be if the site were required to comply with today’s parking requirement, the following is noted. The required parking for each individual use would be: office-4, restaurant-13, multi-family residence-7, for a total of 24 spaces. The mixed-use parking calculation would require that twenty (20) spaces be provided, plus the two (2) spaces eliminated from the garage conversion to office. Utilizing the old code requirements requires that only nine (9) parking spaces be provided (3 existing and 6 for the garage conversion). The current request is to legally establish the aforenoted change of use, and to completely waive the required six (6) parking spaces. The subject request is not supported by Staff nor has it received support from other reviewing Boards. If Commission finds that the most appropriate manner in which to maintain the historic integrity of the site is to not physically provide any parking spaces, then Staff recommends that the property owner be required to make payment of all required spaces (6) via the inlieu of parking process. This alternative would be the fair approach given that other historic properties converted to commercial use have been obligated to account for their required parking through the available and appropriate options, including the in-lieu program. REVIEW BY OTHERS The Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) considered the subject request at its March 10, 2011 meeting, where they recommended denial of the waiver to the required parking. The Board also requested that the item return for further review when “a solution is worked out.” The Downtown Development Authority (DDA) considered the subject request at its March 14, 2011 meeting, where the Board unanimously recommended to “decline” the request to waive all six (6) of the required spaces. Direction was given to the applicant to work out an alternative approach with Staff, and return to the DDA for further review. The Parking Management Advisory Board (PMAB) considered the subject request at its June 28, 2011 meeting, where a recommendation to deny the request as presented. The Board suggested that the applicant work with Staff and accommodate three (3) spaces on site and provide the balance either through an off-site parking agreement, or via the in-lieu of parking fee. RECOMMENDATION Deny the appeal, thereby upholding the Historic Preservation Board’s action of denial. 1 IN THE CITY COMMISSION CHAMBERS OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA ORDER OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA WAIVER REQUEST FOR 85 SE 6TH AVENUE 1.

McDuffie, Mayor ________________________________ Chevelle Nubin, City Clerk MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Commissioners FROM: CANDI N. JEFFERSON, SENIOR PLANNER PAUL DORLING, AICP, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING AND ZONING THROUGH: CITY MANAGER DATE: September 12, 2011 SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM 9.C. -REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF OCTOBER 4, 2011 CONDITIONAL USE REQUEST/EGLISE DE DIEU PRIMITVE DE LA NOUVELLE JERUSALEM, INC. ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION The item before the City Commission is a conditional use request to convert an existing 3,335 sq. ft. duplex residential structure to a church at 614 Martin Luther King Jr. Dr. The request is accompanied by an associated off-site parking lot on existing vacant parcels located on the west side of NW 6thAvenue, approximately 165 feet south of Martin Luther King Jr. Drive. This parking lot will require a waiver to allow more than a 300’ maximum pedestrian path distance to the off-site parking lot, which is also accompanying this request as a separate agenda item. BACKGROUND Parcel 1 contains an existing 3,335 sq. ft. vacant structure situated on 0.1550 acres and was constructed in 1976 as a duplex residential building. Parcels 2 & 3 total 0.3771 acres of vacant land and are proposed as an off-site parking lot at a pedestrian path distance of 322’ away from the Church. All three (3) parcels will be joined by unity of title. Parcel 1 is proposed to house Eglise De Dieu Primitive De La Nouvelle Jerusalem Church which has a congregation of about 50-80 members and rents a church building for weekly services currently being held at 414 SW 3rd St. The proposed development site will be their first sanctuary. The three (3) main services of the Church will be on Friday evenings between 8:00 p.m. -10:30 p.m. and on Sundays from 8:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. Creole Classes will also be offered for those parishioners who cannot read the Creole Bible. This training service will be offered two (2) days a week for two (2) hours a day during the weekdays in the afternoon. Other church functions common with places of religious assembly may occur from time to time such as church bazaars, fundraisers and various activities around holidays such as Easter and Christmas. Although the existing structure satisfies the minimum required building setbacks for the R-1-A zoning district, churches are more appropriately located within the Community Facilities (CF) zoning district. In CF zoning districts churches are a permitted use (as opposed to conditional use in the R-1-A) where certain measures helping to insure compatibility can be utilized. For example, when a church is proposed in a CF district and is adjacent to residential zoning, LDR Section 4.4.21.H.2 encourages a 15 foot perimeter landscape area, or as an alternative, a wall, a decorative fence, or hedging for aesthetic and buffer purposes. The R-1-A zoning does not require nor can they provide these mitigating measures, given the tight, compact nature of the development pattern and the minimal setbacks from immediately adjoining properties. In addition, the proposed church does not fulfill remaining land use needs for this area. There are at least twelve (12) churches within a one (1) mile radius of the subject site. Several of these churches share the same denomination and serve the same cultural background as this proposed church. Negative impacts of noise and traffic on the adjacent residential properties are highly probable if a church is established at the subject site. The future use and intensity is inappropriate and does not comply in terms of these physical considerations. Staff has significant concerns on the impacts to the neighboring residential properties. REVIEW BY OTHERS The CRA (Community Redevelopment Agency) made a recommendation of denial of the conditional use request and waivers to establish Eglise De Dieu Primitive De La Nouvelle Jerusalem Churchat 614 Martin Luther King Jr. Dr. at their meeting of July 14, 2011. The Planning and Zoning Board considered the conditional use request to convert the existing 3,335 sq. ft. multifamily residential structure to a church at their meeting of July 18, 2011. The Board unanimously recommended denial. Both the CRA and Planning & Zoning Board had concerns with the potential negative impacts on abutting residential properties, as well as, traffic impacts with respect to stacking and parking along the adjacent rights-of-way. RECOMMENDATION Denythe conditional use request to convert the existing 3,335 sq. ft. duplex residential structure to a church, due to a failure to make positive findings with respect to the criteria set forth in Sections 2.4.5 (E)(5) and Chapter 3 of the Land Development Regulations. 1 IN THE CITY COMMISSION CHAMBERS OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA CONDITIONAL USE REQUEST TO CONVERT A 3,335 SQ. FT. RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURE TO A CHURCH AT 614 MARTIN LUTHER KING DRIVE ORDER OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA 1. This conditional use request has come before the City Commission on October 4, 2011. The conditional use request is to convert a 3,335 sq. ft. residential structure to a church at 614 Martin Luther King Drive. 2. The City staff, applicant, and other persons have presented documentary evidence and testimony to the City Commission pertaining to the conditional use request of the Eglise De Dieu Primitive De La Nouvelle Jerusalem Church. All of the evidence is a part of the record in this case. Required findings are made in Sections I and II below. I. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN A. FUTURE LAND USE MAP: The use or structures must be allowed in the zoning district and the zoning district must be consistent with the land use designation. The subject property has a Future Land Use Map (FLUM) designation of LD (Low Density Residential, 0-5 Dwelling Units Per Acre) and a zoning designation of R-1-A (Single Family Residential), which are consistent with each other. Pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.3(D)(2), churches or places of worship and their attendant educational, nursery, Sunday school, recreational and columbarium facilities, are allowed as conditional uses. Are the requirements of the Future Land Use Map met? Yes ________ No_________ B. Concurrency: Facilities which are provided by, or through, the City shall be provided to new development concurrent with issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. These facilities shall be provided pursuant to levels of service established within the Comprehensive Plan. 2 Are the concurrency requirements met with respect to water, sewer, drainage, streets and traffic, parks, open space, solid waste and schools? Yes ________ No_________ C. Consistency: Compliance with performance standards set forth in Chapter 3 and required findings in LDR Section 2.4.5(E) (5) for the Conditional Use request shall be the basis upon which a finding of overall consistency is to be made. Other objectives and policies found in the adopted Comprehensive Plan may be used in making a finding of overall consistency. Are the consistency requirements met such that the proposed project is complementary to and compatible with adjacent land uses and the beneficial aspects of the project outweigh the negative impact of identified points of conflict? Yes ________ No_________ D. Future Land Use Element Objective A-1: Property shall be developed or redeveloped in a manner so that the future use and intensity is appropriate and complies in terms of soil, topographic, and other applicable physical considerations, is complimentary to adjacent land uses, and fulfills remaining land use needs. It is noted that the existing structure satisfies the minimum required building setbacks for the R-1-A zoning district. Churches have been approved throughout the northwest and southwest neighborhoods, frequently on Community Facilities (CF)-zoned properties where churches are a permitted use (as opposed to conditional use in the R-1-A). CF-zoned properties are frequently located adjacent to established residential neighborhoods with residential zoning, and because of this, contain measures that help to insure compatibility. Are the requirements of the Future Land Use Element Objective A-1 met? Yes ________ No_________ II. LDR REQUIREMENTS A. Section 2.4.5(E)(5) requires certain findings: The conditional use will not: 1. Have a significantly detrimental effect upon the stability of the neighborhood within which it will be located; 2. Hinder development or redevelopment of nearby properties. 3 Will Section 2.4.5(E)(5) be met? Yes _________ No_________ 3. The City Commission has applied the Comprehensive Plan and LDR requirements in existence at the time the conditional use application was submitted. 4. The City Commission finds there is ample and competent substantial evidence to support its findings in the record submitted and adopts the facts contained in the record including but not limited to the staff reports and testimony of witnesses supporting these findings. 5. Based on the entire record before it, the City Commission approves ___ denies ___ the conditional use application subject to the conditions attached hereto in Exhibit “A” and hereby adopts this Order this 4th day of October, 2011, by a vote of _____ in favor and ____ opposed. ________________________________ Nelson S. McDuffie, Mayor ATTEST: _______________________________ Chevelle Nubin City Clerk 1 EXHIBIT “A” Conditions Related to the Eglise De Dieu Primitive De La Nouvelle Jerusalem Church 1. A unity of title for all three (3) subject parcels shall be submitted, approved and recorded prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy to establish the church. 2. The photometrics from Parcel 1 (church building) are illegible. They should either be removed or redrawn at a larger scale for legibility. For the church building, the building entrance, accent pathways and landscape lighting will be required to comply with the minimum and maximum footcandle requirements. 3. Pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.3(D)(2), churches located within the R-1-A zoning districts do not permit child care or day care as an accessory use. It must be approved separately as a conditional use. Approval of a subsequent conditional use application to allow child care facilities within the church shall be required. 4. A subsequent Class III site plan modification shall be required and approved by SPRAB and certified as approved prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy to establish the church. 5. A subsequent signage application is required to be approved prior to installation of any new signage. MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Commissioners FROM: CANDI N. JEFFERSON, SENIOR PLANNER PAUL DORLING, AICP, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING AND ZONING THROUGH: CITY MANAGER DATE: September 13, 2011 SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM 9.C.1 -REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF OCTOBER 4, 2011 WAIVER REQUEST/EGLISE DE DIEU PRIMITIVE DE LA NOUVELLE JERUSALEUM, INC. ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION The item before the City Commission is consideration of a waiver to LDR Section 4.6.9.E.5.a.1., to increase the maximum acceptable pedestrian path distance to three hundred twenty-two feet (322’) for an off-site parking lot. The current Land Development Regulations (LDRs) limits the maximum distance to three hundred feet (300’) for all off-site parking lots. BACKGROUND Parcel 1 contains an existing 3,335 sq. ft. vacant duplex residential structure situated on 0.1550 acres which was constructed in 1976. Parcels 2 & 3 totalling 0.3771 acres, are currently vacant and will be developed as an off-site parking lot (27 spaces). These parcels containing the off-site parking will be 322’ away (at their closest point) from the Church while a maximum distance of 300’ is allowed for offsite parking lots. Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.7(B)(5), prior to granting a waiver, the approving body shall make a finding that the granting of the waiver: (a) Shall not adversely affect the neighboring area; (b) Shall not significantly diminish the provision of public facilities; (c) Shall not create an unsafe situation; and, (d) Does not result in the grant of a special privilege in that the same waiver would be granted under similar circumstances on other property for another applicant or owner. Pursuant to LDR Section 4.6.9.E.5.a.1., in instances where uses do not have sufficient space to accommodate parking on-site, parking for day-to-day operation may be provided on another property within three hundred feet (300’) measured along an acceptable pedestrian route. This distance is the maximum distance pedestrians are expected to transverse to be deemed conveniently located parking. While the applicant will argue that it is only 22’ more than is allowed, it is noted that this 322’ is to the closest corner of the site and someone parking in the back of the lot will actually be 492’ or more from the church. The applicant has provided the following verbatim justification statement regarding the waiver request: “The requested waiver is both nominal in scope and is the minimum necessary for the Church to make proper use of its property.“ Additional justification provided by the applicant is attached as a supplement to the staff report. A waiver to this requirement is not supportable given the impact to the neighborhood during worship times when parking is likely to occur adjacent to the right-of-way along NW 6th Avenue and NW 2nd Street. The extended off-site distance discourages commuters from parking in this off-site parking area. Under normal circumstances, these spaces would be accommodated on site. However, due to the nonconforming lot size of the church building parcel, this is not feasible. The granting of this waiver will adversely affect the neighboring area. With the parking of vehicles on the adjacent more convenient streets, the capacity of the roadways will be significantly diminished due to the inability to travel at normal speeds and utilize all of the available right-of-way to transverse through the neighborhood. Cars will likely be parallel parked along both sides of both roadways to avoid walking the proposed 322’ to 492’ pedestrian pathway, and this will in turn, create an unsafe situation. Consequently, positive findings can not be made in the request to increase the pedestrian route distance from three hundred feet (300’) to three hundred twenty-two feet (322’) with respect to LDR Section 2.4.7(B)(5). REVIEW BY OTHERS The CRA (Community Redevelopment Agency) made a recommendation of denial of both the conditional use request and waiver to establish Eglise De Dieu Primitive De La Nouvelle Jerusalem Church at 614 Martin Luther King Jr. Dr. at their meeting of July 14, 2011. The Planning and Zoning Board considered the conditional use request and waiver to convert the existing 3,335 sq. ft. duplex residential structure to a church at their meeting of July 18, 2011. The Board unanimously recommended denial of both the conditional use request and the waiver request. Both the CRA and Planning & Zoning Board had concerns with the potential negative impacts on abutting residential properties, as well as, traffic impacts with respect to stacking along the adjacent rights-of-way due to a lack of convenient parking. RECOMMENDATION Denythe request for a waiver to LDR Section 4.6.9.E.5.a.1., to increase the maximum acceptable pedestrian path distance to three hundred twenty-two feet (322’) for an off-site parking lot, by adopting the findings of fact and law contained in the staff report, and finding that the request is inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan and does not meet criteria set forth in LDR Section 2.4.7(B)(5) of the Land Development Regulations. 1 IN THE CITY COMMISSION CHAMBERS OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA ORDER OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA WAIVER REQUEST TO EXCEED THE MAXIMUM 300’ DISTANCE FOR OFF-SITE PARKING LOTS ASSOCIATED WITH EGLISE DE DIEU PRIMITIVE DE LA NOUVELLE JERUSALEM CHURCH 1. This waiver request came before the City Commission on October 4, 2011. 2. The Applicant and City staff presented documentary evidence and testimony to the City Commission pertaining to the waiver request to exceed the maximum 300’ distance for off-site parking lots associated with Eglise De Dieu Primitive De La Nouvelle Jerusalem Church. All of the evidence is a part of the record in this case. Required findings are made in accordance with Subsection I. I. WAIVER TO MAXIMUM 300’ DISTANCE FOR OFF-SITE PARKING LOTS: Per LDR Section 4.6.9(E)(5)(a)(1), in instances where uses do not have sufficient space to accommodate parking on-site, parking for day-to-day operation may be provided on another property within three hundred feet (300’) measured along an acceptable pedestrian route. The applicant has requested that this maximum distance of 300’ be increased to 322’. Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.7(B)(5), prior to granting a waiver, the approving body shall make a finding that the granting of the waiver: (a) Shall not adversely affect the neighboring area; (b) Shall not significantly diminish the provision of public facilities; (c) Shall not create an unsafe situation; and, (d) Does not result in the grant of a special privilege in that the same waiver would be granted under similar circumstances on other property for another applicant or owner. 2 Does the waiver to Section 4.6.9(E)(5)(a)(1) to allow an increase in the maximum distance for off-site parking lots from 300’ to 322’ meet all the requirements of 2.4.7(B)(5)? Yes _______ No _______ 3. The City Commission has applied the Comprehensive Plan and LDR requirements in existence at the time the original development application was submitted and finds that its determinations set forth in this Order are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. 4.

McDuffie, Mayor ________________________________ Chevelle Nubin, City Clerk MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Commissioners FROM: Scott Aronson, Parking Management Specialist Richard C. Hasko, PE, Director of Environmental Services THROUGH: David T. Harden, City Manager DATE: September 29, 2011 SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM 9.D. -REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF OCTOBER 4, 2011 GARAGE PARKING SPACE LICENSE AGREEMENT/GLOBAL PARKING SOLUTIONS ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION The item before the City Commission is that of approving an agreement with Global Parking Solutions for the use of Forty parking spaces in the Federspiel Garage. BACKGROUND The City Commission, at its meeting of September 12, 2007 entered into a Parking License Agreement with Boca Parking Systems, Inc., (BPS) for the use of 40 parking spaces in the Federspiel Garage to accommodate vehicles accepted at the valet parking queue operated on behalf of Sopra Restaurant located at 110 East Atlantic Avenue. Prior to this agreement, BPS utilized the 55 space parking lot located on SE 1st Avenue owned by the Sopra Building. The parking lot was assimilated into the Worthing Place Development, leaving the valet queue without parking for the storage of vehicles. In order to facilitate the continuation of the valet service, the City entered into the referenced Parking License Agreement. In 2009 BPS underwent reorganization, dissolving the corporation resulting in the formation of two (2) entities, Sunshine State Parking and Ameristar Parking Solutions. Sunshine State Parking retained management of the subject valet parking queue which included transfer of the existing agreement for use of the Federspiel Garage. Effective on or about September 15, 2011 Sunshine State Parking has discontinued the management of the valet queue. Prime Steakhouse, the current licensee of the valet parking queue, has negotiated with Global Parking Solutions to operate the queue. Global has requested transference of the Federspiel Parking License Agreement to accommodate vehicles utilizing the queue. Global has been operating various valet queues in Delray Beach since 2001, and is currently operating valet queues for GOL A Taste of Brazil and Pineapple Groove, and manges the parking lot at the Ocean City Lumber property. Interaction with Global and City Staff has been very good over the years as they've been responsive to resolving occasional incidents and portray a positive image to Delray Beach visitors using their valet parking services. The following modifications have been made to the agreement: 1) Allows for annual automatic renewal in tandem with the Valet Parking License Agreements, including a cancellation clause on the part of the City effective 3 days subsequent to the mailing of notice and, 2) Immediate revocation of the agreement upon notice from Licensee of cancellation of the queue. All other terms and conditions of the agreement remain, with spaces at $40 per space, per month, totaling $1,600 per month, yielding an annual income $19,200. RECOMMENDATION By motion, approve the agreement with Global Parking Solutions for the use of 40 spaces in the Federspiel Garage to accommodate vehicles using the 110 East Attlantic Avenue valet parking queue, currently licensed to Prime Steakhouse.

BACKGROUND The proposed text amendment is related to the establishment of The Electric Experience at 1047 East Atlantic Avenue. This business wants to rent bicycles that have electric-helper motors to the general public at this site. The current rental of sporting goods and equipment category is limited to nonmotorized goods and equipment. As the rental of motorized sporting goods is not currently allowed in the CBD or GC zoning districts, the applicant has submitted this privately-initiated LDR text amendment. It is noted that the applicant has also submitted a conditional use application for Segway sales and tours at this site and a request that the City modify the Code of Ordinances definition of “bicycle” to include the electric-helper motor versions of bicycles. REVIEW BY OTHERS The proposed text amendment was reviewed by the CRA (Community Redevelopment Agency) at its meeting of September 8, 2011 which recommended approval. The DDA (Downtown Development Authority) considered the proposed text amendment at its meeting of September 12, 2011 and recommended approval. At its meeting of September 13, 2011, the WARC (West Atlantic Redevelopment Coalition) considered the proposed text amendment and recommended approval and expressed concerns with the use of these devices on the public sidewalk. Planning and Zoning Board: The Planning and Zoning Board considered the proposed LDR text amendment at its meeting of September 19, 2011 and recommended approval (6 to 1 vote, Mr. Jacquet dissenting). Mr. Jacquet indicated that the rental of motorized bicycles is not consistent with the vision of the City. RECOMMENDATION By motion, approve the text amendment to clarify that “bicycles with an electric-helper motor” are the only motorized equipment permitted in the “rental of sporting goods and equipment” use category in the GC [LDR Section 4.4.9(B)(4)(a)] and CBD [4.4.13(B)(3)(a)] zoning districts,by adopting the findings of fact and law contained in the Staff Report and finding that the request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and meets the criteria set forth in LDR Section 2.4.5(M)(5).

NOTE: Government buildings shall be charged the regular commercial customer rate, but shall not be charged for disposal fees, where the Contractor receives the appropriate disposal credits from SWA. ORD. 11 NO. 32-11 Sidewalk Containers Waste Management currently picks up individual thirty-gallon cans along Atlantic Avenue, the beach area, and Pineapple Grove. Out of a total of one hundred four (104) containers, eighty-four (84) do not have property control numbers and, therefore, the City is not charged for disposal costs by the Solid Waste Authority. Waste Management, by contract, does not charge the City for collection costs but should be paid for their disposal costs. Since the Solid Waste Authority does not reimburse Waste Management for these disposal costs, it should be the responsibility of the City to reimburse them. The City will be billed eleven thousand forty-six dollars and sixty-seven cents ($11,046.67) annually or $920.56 monthly in arrears which will be computed as follows: Eighty-four (84) thirty-gallon containers picked up six (6) times per week Forty-two dollars ($42.00) per ton disposal rate charge by SWA = Two dollars eighty-one cents ($2.81) per cubic yard Thirty-gallon container = .15 cubic yards Eighty-four (84) containers × .15 cubic yards × six (6) pickups per week × fifty-two (52) weeks × two dollars eighty-one cents ($2.81)= eleven thousand forty-six dollars and sixty-seven cents ($11,046.67) Waste Management will be picking up trash at the newly installed bus shelters. The City will be billed thirty-six thousand nine hundred seventy-seven dollars and seventy-two cents ($36,977.72) annually or $3081.48 per month in arrears forty thousand eight dollars and twenty eight cents ($40,008.28) annually or $3334.02 per month in arrears which will be computed as follows: $15.13 Rate per pick up X 47 Bus Shelters X 1 Service Per week X 52 Weeks per Year= $36,977.72 Thirty-six thousand nine hundred seventy-seven dollars and seventy-two cents. $16.37 Rate per pick up X 47 Bus Shelters X 1 Service Per week X 52 Weeks per Year= $40,008.28 forty thousand eight dollars and twenty eight cents. The Contractor shall be allowed to charge the Special Services rates, as set forth in Exhibit 1 of the Franchise Agreement, if the Contractor performs any of the services listed on the special services exhibit. The City’s franchise fee shall be applied to these rates. Section 2. That all ordinances or parts of ordinances in conflict herewith be, and the same are hereby repealed. ORD. 12 NO. 32-11 Section 3.

BACKGROUND The proposed definition change is one of several changes being processed in connection with the establishment of The Electric Experience at 1047 East Atlantic Avenue.

The current rental of sporting goods and equipment category (which includes bicycles) in the Land Development Regulations is limited to non-motorized goods and equipment. However, the current State of Florida definition of bicycles includes bicycles with electric helper motors. The proposed modification would make the City’s definition of bicycles consistent with the State’s definition.

Therefore, Mr. Carney stated when you add up the number of people going to a restaurant and the number of car spaces used to occupy those four seats you are re ally talking two cars per a table of four. Mr. Carney stated there is no accounting for the sidewalk cafes and 10- 15% of some of these restaurant tables are allocated to the si dewalk cafes to which there has been no parking calculations imposed in the establishment of that outdoor seating and although they pay a fee for it that is not anywhere near suffi cient to address the parking ramifications are to the outdoor seating. Mr. Carney stated t he CRA, WARC, DDA, and P&Z all support this. He stated by bringing it equal to whe re it is everybody else in the city then this is fair because all the city is doing is crea ting an incentive for downtown and almost creating a disincentive for any other place in the c ity. Lastly, Mr. Carney stated the current restaurants are there and have their parking and are not impacted so if they are boarded up it is because they are failing as res taurants not because of this ordinance. Mr. Carney stated at worst it will slow down the conver sion of retail to restaurants and at best will encourage development of restaurants in ar eas outside of here. Dr. Alperin stated when strolling downtown through all the tables on the sidewalk that part is not the most pleasant; however, the part t hat is pleasant about the downtown is the retail and the galleries and he does not feel the City can lose any m ore of that. He stated the biggest incentive for retail is to make it a little more difficult to convert it so the rents will stay down or if there is enough vaca ncy the rents will actually go down for retail space. Dr. Alperin stated this ordinance does not prohibit conversion but it just makes it more incentivized to stay as retail. Dr . Alperin stated he supports the ordinance. Mayor McDuffie stated he supports an incentive for restaurant s to go up Pineapple Grove and other places like that. Mayor McDuffie inquir ed about a total inventory of how many parking spaces we have available. The Cit y Manager stated the Parking Management Study has a thorough inventory in it. Mr. Dorl ing stated Mr. Aronson had made reference earlier regarding the number of in-lie u spaces that have been approved and staff has a very detailed list of the total inventory of parking spaces as well as the utilization of each and every one of those lots.

Mayor McDuffie declared the public hearing open. There being no one from the public who wished to address the Commission regarding Or dinance No. 33-11, the public hearing was closed.

Yvonne Odom, 3905 Lowson Boulevard, Delray Beach, FL 33445, thanked the City Manager for his letter addressing her concerns from the last m eeting. 11.B.2. Dr. Victor Kirson, D.D.S., 2050 Alta Meadows Lane #2110, Delray Beach, FL 33444 (President of the Board of Directors of Tierra Verde at Delray Beach), stated we now have an Inspector General and Ethics Committee and this shows that the State, the County, and the residents are interested in tr ansparency and guarding against the imagery of improprieties. Dr. Kirson asked why t he Delray Beach City Commission still has meetings in small meeting rooms without int ernet coverage disallowing those who would like to see reports like were given las t week. Dr. Kirson requested that all meetings be held in the City Commission Chambers. 11.B.3. Rose Hendrix, P.O. Box 6162, Delray Beach, FL 33482, stated Out of School Coordinator Tonya Smith has falsified a Police Report on her. Ms. Hendrix st ated she has contacted the City Manager, Mayor McDuffie, and has al so sent emails. Ms. Hendrix stated her children have attended the After School Program f or several years and 27 09/20/11 Tonya Smith objects to her writing reports to the City Mana ger and speaking to the City Commission and has started a vendetta against her. Ms. Hendrix st ated Ms. Smith has asked her to write a malicious letter against Parks Superint endent Tim Simmons and she refused. Ms. Hendrix stated she has contacted the Ethics Depa rtment, the Palm Beach Department of Professional Regulations, and Florida State Repr esentatives Maria Sachs and Lori Berman’s office. She urged the City Commission and the C ity officials to get involved and asked for a response to this issue. At this point, the time being 7:59 p.m., the Commission moved to Item 11.A., City Manager’s response to prior public comments and inquiries. 11.A. City Manager’s response to prior public comments and inquiries. With regard to a concern Dr. Kirson had raised a concern about the seaweed on the beach particularly over the Labor Day weekend and about the frequency with which the beach is cleaned, the City Manager stated when the contract for beach cleaning was renewed in 2006 the number of days for raking sea gr ass was increased from once a week to three times a week. The City Manager s tated there has been a deluge of seaweed washing onto the coast and the lifeguards supervis e the cleaning of the beach to be sure that the three times a week is fulfilled but it may only diminish the seaweed to the extent that it can appear almost impercepti ble when certain conditions coincide. He stated with the combined factors of seaweed flourishi ng right now at an inexplicable rate, consistent east winds pushing it toward our shor e and two high tides seaweed can be replaced more quickly than it can be removed on c ertain days or weeks. The City Manager stated while the City removes what it ca n the presence of some seaweed is actually advantageous and important to the beach eco sys tem. One important role it plays is providing critical habitat for juvenile sea turtles and hatchlings; it provides many hatchlings with a source of food and shelter from predator s. He stated when injured hatchlings are rehabilitated and re-released into the oce an they are often transported for several miles until a large section of seawee d is found because the presence of the seaweed increases the chances of survival. The timing of this influx of seaweed is actually fortuitous for the sea turtle hatchlings. While the seaweed may be an obstacle to some, it is a lifesaver to others. Secondly, the City Manager stated Mr. McCall was concerned about the difference in time limits for the downtown parking in different areas. The City Manager stated time limited parking is the primary tool in managin g the City’s parking system in terms of encouraging more frequent turnover in strategic areas for the benefit of local businesses in allowing longer term parking in lots where turnover is less critical for merchants. The City Manager stated in the downtown business distri ct west of the Intracoastal Waterway there is no metered parking so ti me limiting on various on street areas and lots is the only method available to the City for man aging the system. Time limits for all parking areas will be revisited as the Par king Management Plan recommendations are implemented. He stated Mrs. Odom had alrea dy referred to a situation that she brought up at the last meeting that two hour limits for pa rking meters on A-1-A apply only to angled parking to encourage frequent turnover for the benefit of the 28 09/20/11 merchants across from the beach where the angled parking is. All other metered spaces on A-1-A have a four hour time limit. Also, the City Manager stated there was a question raised about the value of the Police Volunteer Program. The City considers this progra m one of the most organized accountable and cost effective programs attached to the Police Department. The total requested budget for the Police Volunteer Program f or 2012 is $105,530.00. This estimate includes the cost for operating expenses such a s uniforms, equipment and training, cost of vehicle leases, maintenance, fuel and events such as the Senior Academy and Haitian Citizen Police Academy. During fiscal year 2010, Poli ce volunteers completed 31,928 hours of service and if these hours were compensated by the City the volunteer hours would correspond to a monetary value of $576,000.00 when calculate d at the average C.S.O. hourly rate of $18.05 per hour. The Police Volunteer Program provides additional revenue through parking enforcement. This year to date the total revenue generated through the collection of parking fines is $316,000.00. Pol ice volunteers play an instrumental role in crime prevention and enfor cement. They conduct patrols of the downtown parking garages and surface lots both day an d night. He stated utilizing the crime analysis, volunteer groups focus on high visibil ity patrols and target crime locations. Periodically volunteers provide assistance wit h community policing initiatives by acting as liaisons with citizen groups. Polic e volunteers are available during special events to assist with traffic control and provide support as needed. The City Manager stated there was a suggestion made that the Poli ce volunteers were not needed downtown because nothing is happening. He stated one of the big p roblems that West Palm got into is they had a series of high profile well publicized criminal incidents and it is extremely important for the City to keep downtown saf e and prevent those kinds of incidences from happening and one of things that does that is by having the volunteers there as well as the uniformed officers. Lastly, the City Manager stated in response to Ms. Hendrix’s comments that she has been told by several staff members that this is a private dispute between her and the employee and it is not employment related and she needs to take care of it through the legal system. At this point, the time being 8:06 p.m., the Commission moved back to Item 9.F. of the Regular Agenda. 9.F. CONSULTING SERVICE AUTHORIZATIONS/PALM BEACH COUNTY PUBLIC ART ADMINISTRATION/PUBLIC ART CONSULT ING SERVICE: Consider Consulting Service Authorizations with Elayna Toby Singer , Palm Beach County Public Art Administrator to provide administrative s upport for several public art projects throughout the City. Funding is available f rom 115-1702-579-31.90 (Special Projects Fund: Professional Services/Other Professional Ser vices). 9.F.1. SERVICE AUTHORIZATION NO. 2/DEBILZAN PUBLIC ART LOAN TO THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH: Consider Service Authorization No. 2 with Elayna Toby Singer, Palm Beach County Public Art Administ rator, to facilitate 29 09/20/11 artist, City Staff and PAAB in art design/material approval, fabrication, installation of artwork located at Worthing Park. Linda Karch, Director of Parks and Recreation, stated the Publ ic Art Advisory Board is requesting Commission approval and authorization for the Mayor to execute consulting Service Authorization Nos. 2-5 between Palm Beac h County, Elayna Toby Singer, Public Art Administrator and the City of Delr ay Beach for administrative support. Mrs. Karch stated there are four separate agreeme nts; the first is an agreement for Public Art Consulting between the City of Delray Beach and Palm Beach County and that Service Agreement was approved February 15, 2011. This agreem ent specifies that the services performed by the County shall be authorized by a S ervice Authorization. She stated each service authorization shall be incorporated in a nd shall become an integral part of the contract dated February 15, 2011. The Publ ic Art Advisory Board recommends approval of the Consulting Service Authorizations; however, s taff recommendations on the four service authorizations are included in the indi vidual sub item that follows each agenda item. Mrs. Karch stated Servic e Authorization No. 2 for Debilzan Public Art Loan to the City of Delray Beach would a uthorize the Public Art Administrator to facilitate the artist, city staff, and the design and art material fabrication and installation of artwork located in Worthing Park. Staff recomme nds that this Service Authorization be rejected because the artist is loaning the s culpture and the City already has a design team for the park design. Staff feels that the artist and park design team should be able to finalize the installation without the consultant services on this project. Mayor McDuffie asked if the City is paying the $65.00 per hour t o Palm Beach County and not to the consultant. The City Attorney stated the money goes to Palm Beach County and noted the consultant works for Palm Beach County. Albert Gaum-Rickard, Project Coordinator/Parks & Recreati on, stated the first agreement between the Public Art Board and Palm Beach County was February 15, 2011 and it said that we would have a Public Art Admini strator for the City of Delray Beach and that we would pay the $65.00 per hour to Palm Bea ch County for that service. Mayor McDuffie inquired about Service Authorization No. 1 on May 17, 2011. Ms. Gaum-Rickard stated there are five Service Authorizati ons and Service Authorization No. 1 was for the Public Art Master Plan and it al l comes under the one agreement with Palm Beach County. The City Attorney stated Item 9.F. is like the global agreeme nt and sets forth all of the basic understanding between the City and t he County and what that agreement provides for is that if we want to have Ms. Singer do ce rtain things then this is done through a Service Authorization. Mr. Carney asked if Elayna Toby Singer is an employee of t he County then why is the City being billed for services. Dana Donaty, C hair of the Public Art Advisory Board stated these are public art projects for the City of Delray Beach not for 30 09/20/11 the County. Brief discussion between the Commission and Ms. Donaty followed. Ms. Gaum-Rickard stated Service Authorization No. 3 (Amendment No. 1)/Update Public Art Master Plan is with Elayna Toby Singer, Pal m Beach County Public Art Administrator to address Public Art priorities, assess policies and procedures, to facilitate meetings between staff liaison/Public Art Advi sory Board and City staff involved in Public Art Projects with CRA staff and the Creati ve City Collaborative (CCC) so that public art is being distributed correctly.

COMMENTS AND INQUIRIES ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS. 13.A. City Manager With regard to Commissioner Gray’s concern about the internet caf és, the City Manager stated the City Attorney’s office has drafted a propos ed ordinance. With regard to Commissioner Gray’s concern with the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) and their efforts with regard to hou sing, the City Manager stated the CRA continues to have a focus and commitment to a ffordable housing. The CRA’s proposed funding of the Community Land Trust (CLT) operation cost is $250,000.00 for the upcoming fiscal year. The City Manager sta ted they continue to maintain and make available affordable apartments that are managed by our local housing providers. In addition, at its meeting of October 13 th , the CRA Board will be considering the request from the Delray Beach Housing Authority for $2.7 million in support of an affordable senior housing project. The City Manager stated the City continues to work with the CRA on several housing initiatives and one of t he things that have affected the level of funding is the current housing market. T hus, the CRA has switched its effects to acquiring current units that are either deeded over or sold to the local housing providers which increase the availability of housing units. The City Manager stated Mayor McDuffie commented about the waiting lis t for housing vouchers. The City Manager stated that does not necessarily reflect the need in Delray Beach. He stated when those vouchers are advertised they get applicants from Miami to north of West Palm. The City Manager stated at the Urban Administration Committe e Meeting there was also some discussion about the red light cameras and th ere are currently 70 cities that have them. He stated one of the concerns the Flori da League of Cities has is 37 09/20/11 that Representative Corcoran who has introduced the Bill to outlaw the red light cameras is Speaker Designate for 2016. The City Manager stated they c ontinue to monitor the court system as the court cases go through the system and there have been some favorable decisions now out of Broward County but is far from sett led. Therefore, the City Manager stated they do not recommend taking any further ac tion with those until that is resolved. The City Manager stated there was discussi on about a requirement that kicks in October 2012 that all police dispatches have to have 216 hou rs of training to be certified by the State and the Department of Health. The Ci ty Manager stated some of the smaller agencies use police officers for dispatching and what they are asking is that there is an exception written into this law for certified poli ce officers to be able to do dispatching. The City Manager stated cities have been workin g for several years to try and get amendments to the law regarding public notices. He sta ted basically you have to publish everything in the newspaper and the wholesale bills that have been introduced have not gotten anywhere. Therefore, the City Manager stated t his year they are going to try to piecemeal it and deal with a couple things. He sta ted they are talking about on proposed Comp Plan amendments and zoning that they would remove the map s because the maps you cannot really read; unless someone is extremely fa miliar with the City they do not convey useful information. The City Manager stated anytime yo u try to change the publication requirement the newspapers lobby against it. T he City Clerk stated the City Clerk’s office has spent a little over $18,000.00 for this fisca l year. The City Manager stated we can post the property and send out mail notices but the City still has to advertise in a newspaper. The City Manager stated with re gard to Code Enforcement a lot of places have a requirement that when you notify people of a C ode Enforcement violation under certain circumstances where they could end up with a lien it has to be certified mail return receipt requested. He stated they ar e trying to get the return receipt repealed because if you have a certified letter that is tr acked through the postal system and you can verify the receipt of it through that tracking wit hout getting an actual return card that would save a considerable amount of money. The City Ma nager stated the next Committee Meeting is in October. 13.B. City Attorney The City Attorney had no comments or inquiries on non-agenda items. 13.C. City Commission 13.C.1.

MEMORANDUM TO:Mayor and City Commissioners FROM:Ronald Hoggard, AICP, Principal Planner Paul Dorling, AICP, Director Planning and Zoning THROUGH:City Manager DATE:September 22, 2011 SUBJECT:AGENDA ITEM 8.A. - REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF OCTOBER 4, 2011 RESOLUTION NO. 50 -11/BLOCK 11 ALLEYWAY ABANDONMENT ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION The item before the Commission is consideration of abandonment of a portion of a 16’ north-south alley within Block 11, Osceola Park, located midway betwe en SE 7th Street and SE 6th Street, pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.6(M), Abandonment of Rights-of-Way. A water/sewer easement is being retained over the entire area. BACKGROUND The subject paved alleyway was dedicated with the r ecording of the Osceola Park Plat (Plat Book 3, Page 2) on January 17, 1913. The north-south alley provides access between SE 6th Street a nd SE 7th Street. The abandonment area is a 16’ x 303.22’ rectangular shaped parcel containing approximately 4,851 sq. ft. (0.1114 acres). The abandonment reque st was submitted by Delray Eleven, LLC, which owns the twelve lots abutting either side of the pr oposed abandonment area. A replat of the aggregated parcels and abandoned portion of the alley is curre ntly in process. Although this abandonment was previously approved b y the City Commission on October 5, 2011 via Resolution 57-10, the attachment to the Resolution depicted the w rong legal description for the abandonment area. This error has been corrected and the abandonment is again before the City Commission for final approval. REVIEW BY OTHERS Development Services Management Group (DSMG): On July 15, 2010, the DSMG reviewed the alleyway abandonment request and recommended approv al, subject to retention of an easement to cover existing sanitary sewer utilities. Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA): On August 12, 2010, the CRA reviewed the alleyway abandonment request and unanimously recommended app roval. Planning and Zoning Board: On August 23, 2010 the Planning and Zoning Board r eviewed the abandonment request and unanimously recommended app roval to the City Commission, subject to establishment of utility easements over the entiret y of the abandonment area as identified in the atta ched staff report. These easements are to be retained by the City until such time when it is necessary and appropriate for the developer to abandon these ease ments in favor of their replacement easements, if utilities are rerouted.. Environmental Services Department: The City Engineer has asked that a 16’ water and sewer utility easement be retained over the area proposed for aba ndonment in favor of the City until all utilities within the abandonment areas are relocated. A repl acement easement has already been recorded. FPL (Florida Power and Light): FPL has reviewed the abandonment request and has id entified the need for establishment of an exclusive easement for existing overhead utilities situated within the proposed alleyway abandonment area. This will be accommodated with the required r eplat of the project. Consequently, the applicant has acquired estimates of $3,913.23 to remove the f acilities south of Lot 3 and $3,578.65 to relocate the utility pole at the southwest corner of Lot 1 to th e northwest corner of Lot 1. If mutually agreed upo n, the property owner (Delray Eleven, LLC) shall incur the costs of these improvements and an exclusive easement will not be deemed necessary. FPU (Florida Public Utilities): FPU has reviewed the abandonment request and has no objection. It is noted that a 2” gas main which runs within the alley between SE 7th Street and end s at SE 6th Street stops just north of the proposed abandonment area, thus service is unaffected. AT&T/BellSouth Telephone Company: AT&T has reviewed the abandonment request and has n o objection. It is noted that the cost for relocation of any existing facilities shall be at t he property owner’s expense. Any issues as they relate to relocation of AT&T utilities will be accommodated w ith the required replat of the project. Comcast Cable: Comcast Cable has reviewed the abandonment request and has no objection. However, they have identified the need for abandonment of existing uti lities located within the alleyway. The cost associated with complete removal will be incurred b y the owner (Delray Eleven, LLC). RECOMMENDATION By motion, move approval of the abandonment of the southernmost 303.22’ of the north-south alley lying within Block 11, Osceola Park, based upon pos itive findings with respect to LDR Section 2.4.6(O) (5), subject to the following conditions: 1.That a replat of the aggregated parcels and abandon ed portion of the alley be processed and recorded with redevelopment of the site.

BACKGROUND On May 3, 2011, Commission approved a Contract Awar d to Foster Marine in the amount of $1,586,019.82 for construction of improvements on S W 12 Ave./Auburn Ave./SW 14 Ave. from SW 10 St. to W. Atlantic Ave. The scope includes new pav ement, micro-surfacing, curbing, parallel parking, drainage (including swales), water main upgrades, l andscaping, decorative street lights (SW 1st St to W. Atlantic Ave) and paver crosswalks. On June 23, 2011, the City Manager approved an addi tional cost in the amount of $4,150.82 for electrical changes to provide LED street light fixt ures in lieu of metal halide fixtures; to be paid o ut of the contract's Unforeseen Conditions Allowance. Th en on July 29, 2011, the City Manager approved an additional cost in the amount of $6,301.46 for exca vation and disposal of debris encountered during pipe installation; to be paid out of the Unforeseen Conditions Allowance. On September 6, 2011, Commission approved additiona l scope consisting of the relocation of ten (10) Sewer cleanouts between SW 3rd and 4th St. in the a mount of $6,038.50; to be paid out of the contract's Unforeseen Conditions Allowance. On September 20, 2011, Commission approved addition al scope in the total amount of $24,710.49 for relocation of twelve (12) sewer laterals outside of the proposed sidewalk area in the block from SW 2n d St. to SW 3rd St.; two (2) additional street light poles, due to the contractor not realizing that, wh en the revised electrical plan was issued changing the met al halide fixtures to LED fixtures, two additional poles were added; and the installation of 72 LF of concrete ribbon as requested by the CRA, for 242 SW 12 Ave. Change Order No. 1 (CO #1) is for relocation of an additional twenty-eight sewer cleanouts out of the area of the proposed sidewalk, in the amount of $16 ,907.80. Commission approval is also needed for a cost of $1,400.00 for removal of two (2) existing i nlets. This request will be the last request for s ewer cleanout relocations. The request is for the block from Atlantic Ave. to SW 1st St., as well as the b lock from SW 1st St. to SW 2nd St. The quantity of 28 i ncludes all cleanouts located on these two blocks. The possibility exists that not all of the cleanout s will need relocation, but staff is requesting fun ding for all to prevent the need for further requests. Also, during construction it was discovered that there a re a total of three (3) existing inlets to be removed; b ut the contract pay line item quantity is one (1). Therefore, the cost of the removal of the two (2) a dditional existing inlets is not included in the co ntract price. The cost for the additional inlet work is $1,400.00 and will be paid from the contract's Unforeseen Conditions Allowance which has an available balance of $8,798.73.

BACKGROUND The Engineering Division developed a scope of servi ces for a city-wide pavement assessment program for the purpose of establishing a criteria driven c ondition rating of all city streets to be used in developing an asset management database for roadway related infrastructure. This database will be used for determining priorities for annual street r econstruction funding as well as identifying the mo st cost effective rehabilitation method for any partic ular street segment based on its condition. The sc ope of services generally includes a roadway inventory and pavement condition analysis using GIS focused technology compatible with the Cartegraph PavementV iew asset management module, and provision of that Cartegraph module as a deliverable. Out-of-vehicle site survey and evaluation methods are required as well as digital imagery of sample locat ions. A street sign inventory is also included in the project scope. The budget for this project is $50,000. Proposals for the performance of the project scope were solicited as RFP No. 2011-23, advertised on July 24, 2011, and responses were opened on August 18, 2011. Only one responsive proposal was received; submitted by Absolute Civil Engineering S olutions LLC, in the amount of $347,971.20. A second proposal was received from Transmap Corporat ion, however the schedule of pricing in that submittal was incomplete and, since a total dollar amount could not be determined, it was considered nonresponsive. Subsequent inquiries by staff indic ate that the allocated budget is, in fact, commensurate with the established scope with the exception of the provision of the Cartegraph PavementView module. Staff requests that Commission reject the proposal by Absolute Civil Engineering Solutions LLC., and authorize rebidding of the project, removing the re quirement to provide the Cartegraph PavementView module from the base scope. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends rejection of all bids for the pave ment assessment project and rebidding the project with a modified scope.

Fund ing for the project is through the SHIP Housing Rehabilitation grant. BACKGROUND Approval is requested for one (1) Housing Rehabilit ation contract to be awarded to the lowest responsive bidder for the following projects: 336 SW 11 th Avenue, Built Solid Construction, LLC./$30,431.54 = Total Rehab cost: $32,637.64 Awards are based on the actual cost of the rehabili tation, as determined by the low responsive bidder(s), plus a 5% contingency. Total rehab cost also includ es lead inspection, lead abatement, lead clearance, termite inspection, termite treatment and recording fees, where applicable. Additional cost may be incurred for lead clearance test(s). The contingenc y may be used for change orders, and all unused fun ds will remain with the SHIP Housing Rehabilitation pr ogram. Inspection of work is done by the Department of Community Improvement’s Building Inspection and Neighborhood Services Divisions. Contracts are executed between the build ing contractor and the property owner. The City remains the agent and this office monitors all work performed by the contractor, ensuring compliance according to specifications and program guidelines. Pay request forms require both contractor and homeowner’s signatures. Grant recipients have met all eligibi lity requirements as specified in the approved Policies and Procedures. The rehabilitatio n activities will bring the homes to minimum code requirements by repairing the roof, electric and pl umbing systems and correcting other incipient code violations. Detailed work write-ups and individual case files are available for rev iew in the Neighborhood Services Division Office. The Neighborhood Services Division is responsible f or ensuring that the housing rehabilitation contrac ts are awarded to the lowest responsive bidder, as a r esult of a formal bid process. Therefore, an in-house policy was created to limit awards to the lowest re sponsive bidder as it relates to the Division’s professional in-house estimate. This serves to disqualify unreasona bly low bids and therefore, protect against the resulting change order requests. FUNDING SOURCE State Housing Initiatives Partnership 118-1924-554-49.19 RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends awarding one (1) Housing Rehabilit ation contract to the lowest responsive bidder in the amount of $32,637.64.

This is an annual award utilizing a cooperative procurem ent contract between Palm Beach County Water Utilities and Baker’s Transport Service. BACKGROUND In May 2009, staff initiated lime sludge disposal f rom the WTP with BTS. This disposal process has limited the amount of lime sludge that we stockpile to our lagoon and has provided treatment relief in alleviating an over saturation condition at the eas t thickener unit. Last fiscal year, City Commission approved an annual award in the net amount of $255,000 to BTS. This request is an annual award for fiscal year 201 1/2012. The proposal is based on one load per day, Monday through Saturday. The terms and conditions a re per an existing contract with BTS and Palm Beach County Water Utilities. Their agreement with Palm Beach County is through April 2012, with two (2) remaining 1 year renewal options at the cou nty’s request. The County’s agreement does not have any increase to unit prices for fiscal year 20 12. Thus, BTS will haul the slurry at a rate of $19 .09 per ton, plus a mileage charge of $1.17 per mile. C urrently, there are two facilities accepting the sl urry product; one in Orlando (Orlando Utility Commission ) and one in Pompano (Wheelabrator North Broward recycling facility), with most of the loads going to Orlando. The total amount requested for this annual period is $300,000. This is based on on e load per day, six days a week, estimating all loa ds hauled to Orlando: ·26 liquid tons (per load) at $19.09/ton = $496.34 p er load, plus $1.17/mile at 382 miles (round trip) = $943.28 per load delivered to OUC (Orlando Utility Commission) x 312 loads (estimated) = $294,303.36. Staff requests approval of an annual contract award to Baker’s Transport Service in an amount not to exceed $300,000 for disposal of lime slurry from th e WTP for fiscal year 2012. FUNDING SOURCE Funding is available from Account # 441-5122-536-34 -90, Water and Sewer Fund/Other Contractual Services.

ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION Request to approve a blanket purchase order to Line -Tec, Inc. in the amount of $205,000.00 for three projects funded in fiscal year 2012; Water Service Relocations (P/N 12-025), Water Meter Replacements-Contract Services (P/N 12-024), and Fire Hydrant Flow Testing. The terms and conditions are based on the current competitively b id contract with the City of Boynton Beach for “Supply and Installation of Water Service Connectio ns and Restoration”, Bid #033-2821-10/JA. BACKGROUND The Public Utilities Division requested funding for the annual water service relocation program with current year’s budget allocation at $25,000. This contract award will allow us to continue with our annual water service relocation program, changing r ear yard water service meters to the front yard. Al l related work will be paid in accordance with the co ntract’s unit pricing. The request is in the amount of $25,000. Utilities staff also requested funding for contract services to support the annual water meter replace ment program, with current year’s budget approved at $150,000. The program will i nitiate the replacement of aging water meters. Most of the meters in place were installed in 1997 during a City-wide change out program. To assist with this annual program, staff is requesting an award to Line-Tec in the amount of $150,000. This award will facilitate the replacemen t of approximately 4,300 small meters (less than 2”); the meters will be purchased by the City. The work will be paid in accordance to the unit contract ite ms, estimated at $150,000. In addition, staff requested funding for performing flow tests on City fire hydrants. The current year ’s budget was approved at $30,000. Fire hydrant water flow tests are conducted periodi cally per Insurance Service Office requirements. One of their requireme nts is that fire hydrants be inspected annually and flow tested every ten years. These flow tests are recorded and entered into a database to determine t he amount of fire that can be extinguished with the av ailable water from each hydrant. The Insurance Service Office uses the flow test records to help d etermine the fire department’s class rating. All the City’s fire hydrants need to be flow tested by the end o f 2013 (our ten year mark). To accomplish this, one third of the hydrants are programmed to be test ed each year. Last year, City Commission approved an award to Line-Tec for flow testing the first one third of our hydrants. This year’s award will allow testing of the second one third of the City’s 2,650 hydrants, with the last one third to be per formed next fiscal year. Therefore, staff is requesting an award to Line-Tec in the net amount of $205,000 for providing ser vices related to three programs; Water Service Relocation s ($25,000), Water Meter Replacements ($150,000), and for Fire Hydrant Flow Testing ($30,000), utiliz ing contract pricing under an active City of Boynto n Beach contract, expiring June 2012. Upon approval by City Commission, Line-Tec, Inc. wi ll execute a “Standard Form of Agreement between the City and Contractor”.

Because of the uni que staffing needs of law enforcement agencies, no empl oyee can be guaranteed that his or her request to take compe nsatory leave on a particular day or days will always be gr anted. However, employees who request the use of compensat ory time shall be permitted to use such time within a reason able period after making the request, if the use of comp ensatory time does not unduly disrupt the operations of the department. The request will be deemed to have bee n granted within a reasonable period if the City offers to allow the employee to take compensatory time off wi thin one-hundred eighty (180) days of the final date req uested by the employee. EXAMPLE: On February 1, 2005, an employee requests to take compensatory leave beginning on March 1 and ending on March 5, 2005. Management denies the requests for those particular dates. The request will be deemed to have been granted within a reasonable period if the Employer offers alternate compensatory time off on or before August 27, 2005. In the event the request to use compensatory time c annot be granted within a reasonable time as defined in this subsection, the employee may elect to be paid for t he compensatory time that was not granted.

Alvarez, Historic Preservation Planner Paul Dorling, AICP, Director of Planning and Zoning THROUGH:David T. Harden, City Manager DATE:September 28, 2011 SUBJECT:AGENDA ITEM 9.A. - REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF OCTOBER 4, 2011 WAIVER REQUEST/ DECK 84 ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION The action requested of the City Commission is appr oval of a waiver to LDR Section 4.4.13(F)(4)(a)2., to reduce the required front setback from five feet (5’) to eight inches (8”), to allow for the installation of a support column and knee wall associated with n ew sliding glass doors in the same location as the existing windows. BACKGROUND At its meeting of September 21, 2011, the Historic Preservation Board (HPB) approved with conditions a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) and Class I Site Plan Modification for elevation changes on the front and rear facades of Deck 84. The HPB consider ed this waiver request concurrently with the COA and Site Plan requests and recommended approval on a vote of 7-0. The alterations on the front façade involves the replacement of the existing fixed wind ows with sliding glass doors and the installation o f a framing support column which will encroach into the five foot (5’) front setback. WAIVER ANALYSIS Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.7(B)(5), prior to grant ing a waiver, the approving body shall make a finding that the granting of the waiver: (a) Shall not adversely affect the neighboring area ; (b) Shall not significantly diminish the provision of public facilities; (c) Shall not create an unsafe situation; and (d) Does not result in the grant of a special privi lege in that the same waiver would be granted under similar circumstances on other property for another applicant or owner. Request: Pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.13, (F)(4)(a)2, Central Business District, Development Standards, Building Frontage, the minimum front setback for bu ildings with nonresidential uses on the ground floor is five feet. The proposed support column for the sliding doors is within the required five foo t (5’) setback area, as it is located approximately eight inches (8”) from the front property line. This encroachment is the same as the encroachment of the existing fixed windows. In consideration of the above, (a) the granting of the waiver request will not adversely affect the surrounding commercial area, which may benefit from the additional interaction along the streetscape; (b) the granting of the waiver request will not dim inish or impact public facilities as the improvemen t will not encroach on the public right of way and ma y enhance the public sidewalk area as the doors wil l be able to open up and create an indoor/outdoor atm osphere among the sidewalk pedestrians and the restaurant patrons, as occurs further west along At lantic Avenue; (c) an unsafe situation will not be created by the proposed improvements as they are as sociated with sliding doors, which will not encroach into the right of way; and, (d) the granti ng of the waiver request will not result in a speci al privilege in that the encroachment is minimal, alre ady exists, does not span the entire building and i s contained within the existing awning. Further, a po rtion of the building already exists within the required setback area and this will infill this enc roachment. Based on the above, positive findings ca n be made with respect to the waiver request and reducti on of the front setback from five feet (5’) to eight inches (8”). RECOMMENDATION Approve the waiver to LDR Section 4.4.13, (F)(4)(a)2, to reduce the front setback from five feet (5’) to eight inches (8”) to allow a support column on a knee wall, based upo n positive findings with respect to the LDR Section 2.4.7(B)(5). 1 IN THE CITY COMMISSION CHAMBERS OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA WAIVER REQUEST FOR DECK 84 840 EAST ATLANTIC AVENUE ORDER OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA 1.

Alvarez, Historic Preservation Planner Paul Dorling, AICP, Director of Planning and Zoning THROUGH:City Manager DATE:September 30, 2011 SUBJECT:AGENDA ITEM 9.B. - REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF OCTOBER 4, 2011 CONSIDERATION OF AN APPEAL OF THE HPB'S DECISION/85 S.E. 6TH AV ENUE/CLASS III SITE PLAN MODIFICATION ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION The action requested of the City Commission is cons ideration of an appeal of the Historic Preservation Board’s (HPB) decision made on August 21, 2011. The HPB’s motion to approve the Class III Site Plan Modification at 85 SE 6th Avenue failed on a 0-5 vote, based upon findings that the request was inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan and did no t meet the criteria set forth in the Land Development Regulations, the Delray Beach Historic Preservation Design Guidelines, and the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation. BACKGROUND At its meeting of August 16, 1995, the HPB approved a COA for two (2) of the three (3) on-site buildings including the conversion of the Blank Hou se from single-family residence to retail use (Building A), the conversion of a garage to office use and addition of a second story residential apartment (Building B), and the construction of a n ine-space, pea-rock parking area off of SE 1st Street. The third building (Building C) was, and remains, a multi-family residence. The single family residence (Building A) was subsequently converted to retail u se and the garage was converted to office use. Building permits were not obtained for the conversi on of the garage nor was the parking area required for this conversion ever installed. As a result, th e office use was never legally established. In October of 1995, the retail use (Building A) was legally converted to restaurant use and the second floor to a storage area. Between 1995 and 2004 as the illegal status of the office use continued to surface, Site Plan Applications were submitted and approved for the co nversion of use with associated parking improvements. Each application was allowed to expir e and none of the required improvements were ever constructed. The latest approval of August 3, 2004 permitted the applicant to pay for two (2) parking spaces and included installation of the bal ance of required spaces on site (a total of four ne w spaces just south of the City’s public parking lot and retention of three existin g spaces off the alley on the east side of the property). As with previous ap provals, no improvements were constructed, no payments of in-lieu of parking fees were made, and the approvals expired. At its August 21, 2011 meeting, the HPB reviewed ye t another attempt after 16 years to address the office conversion. This request was to waive all re quired parking (6 spaces) associated with the Class III Site Plan Modification for the office space. This r equest was not supported and the appeal of both the denial of the waiver (separate Commission item) and this Class III Site Plan Modification are now before the City Commission. If the Class III Site Plan Modification is approved by City Commission, the approval should include th e following conditions: 1. That a traffic statement be provided; 2. That a current floor plan be submitted; 3. That compliance with handicap accessibility with in the office space be indicated; and, 4. That a decorative bicycle rack be provided on-si te. REVIEW BY OTHERS The Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) considered the subject request at its March 10, 2011 meeting, where they recommended denial of the waive r to the required parking. The Board also requested that the item return for further review w hen “a solution is worked out.” The Downtown Development Authority (DDA) considered the subject request at its March 14, 2011 meeting, where the Board unanimously recommended to “decline” the request to waive all six (6) of the required spaces. Direction was given to the applica nt to work out an alternative approach with Staff, and return to the DDA for further review. The Parking Management Advisory Board (PMAB) consid ered the subject request at its June 28, 2011 meeting, where a recommendation to deny the request as presented. The Board suggested that the applicant work with Staff and accommodate three (3) spaces on site and provide the balance either through an off-site parking agreement, or via the i n-lieu of parking fee. RECOMMENDATION Deny the appeal, thereby upholding the Historic Pre servation Board’s action of denial.

T he Standards (36 CFR Part 67) apply to historic buildings of all periods, styles, types, materials, and sizes. They apply to both the exterior and the interior of historic b uildings. The Standards also encompass related landscape features and the building's site and environment as well as attached, adjacent, or related new construction. 1. A property shall be used for its historic purpose o r be placed in a new use that requires minimal change to the defining charac teristics of the building and its site and environment. 2. The historic character of a property shall be retai ned and preserved. The removal of historic materials or alteration of feat ures and spaces that characterize a property shall be avoided. 3. Each property shall be recognized as a physical rec ord of its time, place, and use. Changes that create a false sense of histo rical development, such as adding conjectural features or architectural elemen ts from other buildings, shall not be undertaken. 4. Most properties change over time; those changes tha t have acquired historic significance in their own right shall be retained a nd preserved. 5. Distinctive features, finishes, and construction te chniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a historic property shall be preserved. 6. Deteriorated historic features shall be repaired ra ther than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature shall match the old in design, color, textu re, and other visual qualities and, where possible, materials. Replacement of missing fe atures shall be substantiated by documentary, physical, or pictorial evidence. 7. Chemical or physical treatments, such as sandblasti ng, that cause damage to historic materials shall not be used. The surfac e cleaning of structures, if appropriate, shall be undertaken using the gentlest means possible. 8. Significant archeological resources affected by a p roject shall be protected and preserved. If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures shall be undertaken. 9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historic materials that characterize the pr operty. The new work shall be differentiated from the old and shall be compatible with the massing, size, scale, and architectural features to protect the historic inte grity of the property and its environment. 10.New additions and adjacent or related new constr uction shall be undertaken in such a manner that if removed in the future, the es sential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be unim paired. MEMORANDUM TO:Mayor and City Commissioners FROM:Amy E. Alvarez, Historic Preservation Planner Paul Dorling, AICP, Director of Planning and Zoning THROUGH:David T. Harden, City Manager DATE:September 30, 2011 SUBJECT:AGENDA ITEM 9.B.1 - REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF OCTOBER 4, 2011 CONSIDERATION OF AN APPEAL/HPB'S DECISION/WAIVER REQUEST ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION The action requested of the City Commission is cons ideration of an appeal of the Historic Preservation Board’s (HPB) rejection of the waiver request on Au gust 21, 2011. The HPB’s motion to approve the waiver of required parking spaces at 85 SE 6 th Avenue failed on a 0-5 vote, based upon a failure to make positive findings to LDR Section 4.5.1(E)(3)(b )2. BACKGROUND On August 16, 1995, the HPB approved a COA for two (2) of the three (3) on-site buildings including the conversion of the Blank House from single-family residence to retail use (Building A), the conversion of a garage to office use and addition o f a second story residential apartment (Building B), and the construction of a nine-space, pea-rock parking area off of SE 1st Street. The third b uilding (Building C) was, and remains, a multi-family residence. The single family residence (Buil ding A) was subsequently converted to retail use and the garage was converted to office use. Building permits were not obtained for the conversion of the garage nor w as the parking area required for this conversion ev er installed. As a result, the office use was never le gally established. In October of 1995, the retail use (Building A) was legally converted to restaurant use and the second floor to a storage area. Between 1995 and 2004 as the illegal status of the office use continued to surface, Site Plan Applications were submitted and approved for the co nversion of use with associated parking improvements. Each application was allowed to expir e and none of the required improvements were ever constructed. The latest approval of August 3, 2004 permitted the applicant to pay for two (2) parking spaces and included the installation of the balance of required spaces on site (a total of fou r new spaces just south of the City’s public parking lot and retention of three existin g spaces off the alley on the east side of property). As with previous approv als, no improvements were constructed, no payments of in-lieu of parking fees were made, and the appro vals expired. At its August 21, 2011 meeting, the HPB reviewed ye t another attempt, after 16 years, to address the office conversion. This request was to waive all re quired parking (6 spaces) for the office space conversion. This request was denied and the appeal of that denial is now before the City Commission. WAIVER: Pursuant to LDR Section 4.5.1(E)(3)(b)2., waivers m ay be granted by the Historic Preservation Board for relief from the number of parking spaces requir ed in Section 4.6.9 upon presentation of confirmati on that adequate parking for a proposed use may be ach ieved by alternate means which are found to be in keeping with the provisions and intent of the Delra y Beach Historic Preservation Design Guidelines. Confirmation that adequate parking can be achieved has not been presented. Past site plan submittals have been approved which adequately provided the re quired amount of parking and were found to be appropriate and compatible to the historic property . Further, in 2004, additional options were approve d to provide for a portion of the parking on-site and a portion via in-lieu. None of these options were followed up on or completed. Waiving the required parking spaces altogether will have the potential to adversely affect the neighboring area in that the required parking for t his private project will utilize public parking spa ces, thereby reducing the number of public spaces availa ble for other users. In addition to the above, it should be considered that while relief ma y be granted to the amount of required parking spaces, the intent of this “benefi t” afforded to historic properties is not to excuse th e provision of all parking but to provide alternative s. Otherwise, one could conclude that parking on historic properties converted to office use is not necessary. It is noted that the parking requirement currently being applied is significantly less than the curren t code requirement. To understand the intensity of the use s on the site, and what their parking requirement would be if the site were required to comply with t oday’s parking requirement, the following is noted. The required parking for each individual use would be: office-4, restaurant-13, multi-family residence - 7, for a total of 24 spaces. The mixed-use parking calculation would require that twenty (20) spaces be provided, plus the two (2) spaces eliminated from t he garage conversion to office. Utilizing the old c ode requirements requires that only nine (9) parking sp aces be provided (3 existing and 6 for the garage conversion). The current request is to legally establish the afo renoted change of use, and to completely waive the required six (6) parking spaces. The subject reques t is not supported by Staff nor has it received sup port from other reviewing Boards. If Commission finds th at the most appropriate manner in which to maintain the historic integrity of the site is to n ot physically provide any parking spaces, then Staf f recommends that the property owner be required to m ake payment of all required spaces (6) via the in- lieu of parking process. This alternative would be the fair approach given that other historic propert ies converted to commercial use have been obligated to account for their required parking through the available and appropriate options, including the in -lieu program. REVIEW BY OTHERS The Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) considered the subject request at its March 10, 2011 meeting, where they recommended denial of the waive r to the required parking. The Board also requested that the item return for further review w hen “a solution is worked out.” The Downtown Development Authority (DDA) considered the subject request at its March 14, 2011 meeting, where the Board unanimously recommended to “decline” the request to waive all six (6) of the required spaces. Direction was given to the applica nt to work out an alternative approach with Staff, and return to the DDA for further review. The Parking Management Advisory Board (PMAB) consid ered the subject request at its June 28, 2011 meeting, where a recommendation to deny the request as presented. The Board suggested that the applicant work with Staff and accommodate three (3) spaces on site and provide the balance either through an off-site parking agreement, or via the i n-lieu of parking fee. RECOMMENDATION Deny the appeal, thereby upholding the Historic Pre servation Board’s action of denial. 1 IN THE CITY COMMISSION CHAMBERS OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA ORDER OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA WAIVER REQUEST FOR 85 SE 6 TH AVENUE 1.

JEFFERSON, SENIOR PLANNER PAUL DORLING, AICP, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING AND ZONING THROUGH:CITY MANAGER DATE:September 12, 2011 SUBJECT:AGENDA ITEM 9.C. - REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF OCTOBER 4, 2011 CONDITIONAL USE REQUEST/EGLISE DE DIEU PRIMITVE DE LA NOUVELL E JERUSALEM, INC. ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION The item before the City Commission is a conditiona l use request to convert an existing 3,335 sq. ft. duplex residential structure to a church at 614 Mar tin Luther King Jr. Dr. The request is accompanied by an associated off-site parking lot on existing vacant parcels located on the west side of NW 6 th Avenue, approximately 165 feet south of Martin Luth er King Jr. Drive. This parking lot will require a waiver to allow more than a 300’ maximum pedestri an path distance to the off-site parking lot, which is also accompanying this request as a separate age nda item. BACKGROUND Parcel 1 contains an existing 3,335 sq. ft. vacant structure situated on 0.1550 acres and was construc ted in 1976 as a duplex residential building. Parcels 2 & 3 total 0.3771 acres of vacant land and are proposed as an off-site parking lot at a pedestrian path distance of 322’ away from the Church. All three (3) parcels will be joined by unity of title. Parcel 1 is proposed to house Eglise De Dieu Primit ive De La Nouvelle Jerusalem Church which has a congregation of about 50-80 members and rents a church building for weekly s ervices currently being held at 414 SW 3 rd St. The proposed development site will be their f irst sanctuary. The three (3) main services of the Church will be on Friday evenings b etween 8:00 p.m. - 10:30 p.m. and on Sundays from 8:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. Creole Classes will also be offered for those parishioners who cannot read the Creole Bible. Thi s training service will be offered two (2) days a week for two (2) hours a day during the weekdays in the afternoon. Other church functions common with places of religious assembly may occur from ti me to time such as church bazaars, fundraisers and various activities around holidays such as Easter a nd Christmas. Although the existing structure satisfies the minim um required building setbacks for the R-1-A zoning district, churches are more appropriately located w ithin the Community Facilities (CF) zoning district. In CF zoning districts churches are a per mitted use (as opposed to conditional use in the R-1-A) where certain measures helping to insure compatibil ity can be utilized. For example, when a church is proposed in a CF district and is adjacent to reside ntial zoning, LDR Section 4.4.21.H.2 encourages a 1 5 foot perimeter landscape area, or as an alternative , a wall, a decorative fence, or hedging for aesthe tic and buffer purposes. The R-1-A zoning does not require nor can they provide thes e mitigating measures, given the tight, compact nature of the de velopment pattern and the minimal setbacks from immediately adjoining properties. In addition, the proposed church does not fulfill remaining land use needs for this area. There are at least twelve (12) churches within a one (1) mile radius of the subje ct site. Several of these churches share the same deno mination and serve the same cultural background as this proposed church. Negative impacts of noise and traffic on the adjacent residential properties are highly probable if a church is established at the s ubject site. The future use and intensity is inappr opriate and does not comply in terms of these physical cons iderations. Staff has significant concerns on the impacts to the neighboring residential properties. REVIEW BY OTHERS The CRA (Community Redevelopment Agency) made a rec ommendation of denial of the conditional use request and waivers to establish Eglise De Dieu Primitive De La Nouvelle Jerusalem Church at 614 Martin Luther King Jr. Dr. at their meeting of July 14, 2011. The Planning and Zoning Board considered the condit ional use request to convert the existing 3,335 sq. ft. multifamily residential structure to a church a t their meeting of July 18, 2011. The Board unanimously recommended denial. Both the CRA and Planning & Zoning Board had concer ns with the potential negative impacts on abutting residential properties, as well as, traffi c impacts with respect to stacking and parking alon g the adjacent rights-of-way. RECOMMENDATION Deny the conditional use request to convert the existing 3,335 sq. ft. duplex residential structure to a church, due to a failure to make positive findings with respect to the criteria set forth in Sections 2.4.5 (E)(5) and Chapter 3 of the Land Development Regula tions. 1 IN THE CITY COMMISSION CHAMBERS OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA CONDITIONAL USE REQUEST TO CONVERT A 3,335 SQ. FT. RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURE TO A CHURCH AT 614 MARTIN LUTHER KING DRI VE ORDER OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA 1. This conditional use request has come before the Ci ty Commission on October 4, 2011. The conditional use request is to conve rt a 3,335 sq. ft. residential structure to a church at 614 Martin Luther King Drive. 2. The City staff, applicant, and other persons have presented documentary evidence and testimony to the City Commission pertainin g to the conditional use request of the Eglise De Dieu Primitive De La Nouvell e Jerusalem Church. All of the evidence is a part of the record in this case. Require d findings are made in Sections I and II below. I. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN A. FUTURE LAND USE MAP: The use or structures must be allowed in the zoning district and the zoning district must be consistent with the land use designation. The subject property has a Future Land Use Map (FLUM) designation of LD (Low Density Residential, 0-5 Dwelling Units Per Acre) and a zoning designation of R-1-A (Single Family Residential), which are consistent with e ach other. Pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.3(D)(2), churches or places of worship and t heir attendant educational, nursery, Sunday school, recreational and columbarium faci lities, are allowed as conditional uses. Are the requirements of the Future Land Use Map met ? Yes ________ No_________ B. Concurrency : Facilities which are provided by, or through, the C ity shall be provided to new development concurrent with issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. These facilities shall be provided pursuant to levels of service established within the Comprehensive Plan. 2 Are the concurrency requirements met with respect t o water, sewer, drainage, streets and traffic, parks, open space, s olid waste and schools? Yes ________ No_________ C. Consistency: Compliance with performance standards set forth in Chapter 3 and required findings in LDR Section 2.4.5(E) (5) for the Conditional Use request shall be the basis upon which a finding of overall consistency i s to be made. Other objectives and policies found in the adopted Comprehensive Plan m ay be used in making a finding of overall consistency. Are the consistency requirements met such that the proposed project is complementary to and compatible with adj acent land uses and the beneficial aspects of the project outweigh the negative impact of identified points of conflict? Yes ________ No_________ D. Future Land Use Element Objective A-1: Property sh all be developed or redeveloped in a manner so that the future use and in tensity is appropriate and complies in terms of soil, topographic, and other appl icable physical considerations, is complimentary to adjacent land uses, and fulfills remain ing land use needs. It is noted that the existing structure satisfies the mini mum required building setbacks for the R-1-A zoning district. Churches have bee n approved throughout the northwest and southwest neighborhoods, frequently on Community Facilities (CF)- zoned properties where churches are a permitted use (as opposed to conditional use in the R-1-A). CF-zoned properties are frequently locate d adjacent to established residential neighborhoods with residential zoning, and because of this, contain measures that help to insure compatibility. Are the requirements of the Future Land Use Element Objective A-1 met? Yes ________ No_________ II. LDR REQUIREMENTS A. Section 2.4.5(E)(5) requires certain findings : The conditional use will not: 1. Have a significantly detrimental effect upon the st ability of the neighborhood within which it will be located; 2. Hinder development or redevelopment of nearby properties. 3 Will Section 2.4.5(E)(5) be met? Yes _________ No_________ 3. The City Commission has applied the Comprehensive P lan and LDR requirements in existence at the time the conditional use application was submitted. 4. The City Commission finds there is ample and compete nt substantial evidence to support its findings in the record submitted and adopts the facts contained in the record including but not limited to the staff r eports and testimony of witnesses supporting these findings. 5. Based on the entire record before it, the City Co mmission approves ___ denies ___ the conditional use application subject to th e conditions attached hereto in Exhibit “A” and hereby adopts this Order this 4 th day of October, 2011, by a vote of _____ in favor and ____ opposed. ________________________________ Nelson S.

A unity of title for all three (3) subject parcels s hall be submitted, approved and recorded prior to issuance of a certificate of occu pancy to establish the church. 2. The photometrics from Parcel 1 (church building) ar e illegible. They should either be removed or redrawn at a larger scale for legibili ty. For the church building, the building entrance, accent pathways and landscape lig hting will be required to comply with the minimum and maximum footcandle requir ements. 3. Pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.3(D)(2), churches locat ed within the R-1-A zoning districts do not permit child care or day care as a n accessory use. It must be approved separately as a conditional use. Approval o f a subsequent conditional use application to allow child care facilities with in the church shall be required. 4. A subsequent Class III site plan modification shall be required and approved by SPRAB and certified as approved prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy to establish the church. 5.

JEFFERSON, SENIOR PLANNER PAUL DORLING, AICP, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING AND ZONING THROUGH:CITY MANAGER DATE:September 13, 2011 SUBJECT:AGENDA ITEM 9.C.1 - REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF OCTOBER 4, 2011 WAIVER REQUEST/EGLISE DE DIEU PRIMITIVE DE LA NOUVELLE JERU SALEUM, INC. ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION The item before the City Commission is consideratio n of a waiver to LDR Section 4.6.9.E.5.a.1., to increase the maximum acceptable pedestrian path dis tance to three hundred twenty-two feet (322’) for an off-site parking lot. The current Land Development Reg ulations (LDRs) limits the maximum distance to three hundred feet (300’) for all off-s ite parking lots. BACKGROUND Parcel 1 contains an existing 3,335 sq. ft. vacant duplex residential structure situated on 0.1550 acr es which was constructed in 1976. Parcels 2 & 3 total ling 0.3771 acres, are currently vacant and will be developed as an off-site parking lot (27 spaces). T hese parcels containing the off-site parking will be 322’ away (at their closest point) from the Church while a maximum distance of 300’ is allowed for off - site parking lots. Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.7(B)(5), prior to grant ing a waiver, the approving body shall make a finding that the granting of the waive r: (a) Shall not adversely affect the neighbori ng area; (b) Shall not significantly diminish the pro vision of public facilities; (c) Shall not create an unsafe situation; an d, (d) Does not result in the grant of a specia l privilege in that the same waiver would be grante d under similar circumstances on other property for a nother applicant or owner. Pursuant to LDR Section 4.6.9.E.5.a.1., in instance s where uses do not have sufficient space to accommodate parking on-site, parking for day-to-day operation may be provided on another property within three hundred feet (300’) measured along an acceptable pedestrian route. This distance is the maximum distance pedestrians are expected to transv erse to be deemed conveniently located parking. While the applicant will argue that it is only 22’ more than is allowed, it is noted that thi s 322 ’ is to the closest corner of the site and someone pa rking in the back of the lot will actually be 492’ or more from the church. The applicant has provided th e following verbatim justification statement regarding the waiver request: “The requested waiver is both nominal in scope and i s the minimum necessary for the Church to make proper use of its property.“ Additional justification provided by the applicant is attached as a supplement to the staff report. A waiver to this requirement is not supportable given the impact to the neighborhood during worship times when parking is likely to occur adjacent to t he right-of-way along NW 6th Avenue and NW 2nd Street. The extended off-site distance discourages commuters from parking in this off-site parking area. Under normal circumstances, these spaces woul d be accommodated on site. However, due to the nonconforming lot size of the church building parce l, this is not feasible. The granting of this waive r will adversely affect the neighboring area. With th e parking of vehicles on the adjacent more convenie nt streets, the capacity of the roadways will be signi ficantly diminished due to the inability to travel at normal speeds and utilize all of the available righ t-of-way to transverse through the neighborhood. Cars will likely be parallel parked along both side s of both roadways to avoid walking the proposed 322’ to 492’ pedestrian pathway, and this will in turn, create a n unsafe situation. Consequently, positive findings can not be made in the request to increase the pedestrian route distance from three hundred feet (300’) to three hundred twenty-two feet (322’) with respect to LDR Section 2.4.7(B)(5). REVIEW BY OTHERS The CRA (Community Redevelopment Agency) made a rec ommendation of denial of both the conditional use request and waiver to establish Eglise De Dieu Primitive De La Nouvelle Jerusalem Church at 614 Martin Luther King Jr. Dr. at their m eeting of July 14, 2011. The Planning and Zoning Board considered the condit ional use request and waiver to convert the existing 3,335 sq. ft. duplex residential structure to a church at their meeting of July 18, 2011. The Board unanimously recommended denial of both the co nditional use request and the waiver request. Both the CRA and Planning & Zoning Board had concer ns with the potential negative impacts on abutting residential properties, as well as, traffi c impacts with respect to stacking along the adjace nt rights-of-way due to a lack of convenient parking. RECOMMENDATION Deny the request for a waiver to LDR Section 4.6.9.E.5.a .1., to increase the maximum acceptable pedestrian path distance to three hundred twenty-tw o feet (322’) for an off-site parking lot, by adopting the findings of fact and law contained in the staff report, and finding that the request is inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan and does not meet criteria set forth in LDR Section 2.4.7(B)(5) of t he Land Development Regulations. 1 IN THE CITY COMMISSION CHAMBERS OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA ORDER OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA WAIVER REQUEST TO EXCEED THE MAXIMUM 300’ DISTANCE FOR OFF-SITE PARKING LOTS ASSOCIATED WITH EGLISE DE DIEU PRIMITIVE DE LA NOUVELLE JERUSALEM C HURCH 1.

Hasko, PE, Director of Environmental Ser vices THROUGH:David T. Harden, City Manager DATE:September 29, 2011 SUBJECT:AGENDA ITEM 9.D. - REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF OCTOBER 4, 2011 GARAGE PARKING SPACE LICENSE AGREEMENT/GLOBAL PARKING SOLUTIONS ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION The item before the City Commission is that of appr oving an agreement with Global Parking Solutions for the use of Forty parking spaces in the Federspi el Garage. BACKGROUND The City Commission, at its meeting of September 12 , 2007 entered into a Parking License Agreement with Boca Parking Systems, Inc., (BPS) for the use of 40 parking spaces in the Federspiel Garage to accommodate vehicles accepted at the valet parking queue operated on behalf of Sopra Restaurant located at 110 East Atlantic Avenue. Prior to this agreement, BPS utilized the 55 space parking lot located on SE 1st Avenue owned by the Sopra Building. The parking lot was assimilated int o the Worthing Place Development, leaving the valet queue without parking for the storage of vehicles. In order to facilitate the continuation of the vale t service, the City entered into the referenced Parki ng License Agreement. In 2009 BPS underwent reorganization, dissolving th e corporation resulting in the formation of two (2) entities, Sunshine State Parking and Ameristar Park ing Solutions. Sunshine State Parking retained management of the subject valet parking queue which included transfer of the existing agreement for use of the Federspiel Garage. Effective on or about September 15, 2011 Sunshine S tate Parking has discontinued the management of the valet queue. Prime Steakhouse, the current lice nsee of the valet parking queue, has negotiated wi th Global Parking Solutions to operate the queue. Glob al has requested transference of the Federspiel Parking License Agreement to accommodate vehicles u tilizing the queue. Global has been operating various valet queues in Delray Beach since 2001, an d is currently operating valet queues for GOL A Taste of Brazil and Pineapple Groove, and manges th e parking lot at the Ocean City Lumber property. Interaction with Global and City Staff has been ver y good over the years as they've been responsive to resolving occasional incidents and portray a positi ve image to Delray Beach visitors using their valet parking services. The following modifications have been made to the a greement: 1) Allows for annual automatic renewal in tandem wi th the Valet Parking License Agreements, including a cancellation clause on the part of the City effective 3 days subsequent to the mailing of notice and, 2) Immediate revocation of the agreement upon notic e from Licensee of cancellation of the queue. All other terms and conditions of the agreement rem ain, with spaces at $40 per space, per month, totaling $1,600 per month, yielding an annual incom e $19,200. RECOMMENDATION By motion, approve the agreement with Global Parkin g Solutions for the use of 40 spaces in the Federspiel Garage to accommodate vehicles using the 110 East Attlantic Avenue valet parking queue, currently licensed to Prime Steakhouse.

BACKGROUND The proposed text amendment is related to the estab lishment of The Electric Experience at 1047 East Atlantic Avenue. This business wants to rent bicycl es that have electric-helper motors to the general public at this site. The current rental of sporting goods and equipment category is limited to non- motorized goods and equipment. As the rental of mot orized sporting goods is not currently allowed in the CBD or GC zoning districts, the applicant has s ubmitted this privately-initiated LDR text amendment. It is noted that the applicant has also submitted a conditional use application for Segway sales and tours at this site and a request that the City modify the Code of Ordinances definition of “bicycle” to include the electric-helper motor vers ions of bicycles. REVIEW BY OTHERS The proposed text amendment was reviewed by the CRA (Community Redevelopment Agency) at its meeting of September 8, 2011 which recommended appr oval. The DDA (Downtown Development Authority) considered the proposed text amendment a t its meeting of September 12, 2011 and recommended approval. At its meeting of September 1 3, 2011, the WARC (West Atlantic Redevelopment Coalition) considered the proposed te xt amendment and recommended approval and expressed concerns with the use of these devices on the public sidewalk. Planning and Zoning Board: The Planning and Zoning Board considered the propos ed LDR text amendment at its meeting of September 19, 2011 and recommended approval (6 to 1 vote, Mr. Jacquet dissenting). Mr. Jacquet indicated that the rental of motorized bicycles is not consistent with the vision of the City. RECOMMENDATION By motion, approve the text amendment to clarify t hat “bicycles with an electric-helper motor” are the only motorized equipment permitted in the “rental o f sporting goods and equipment” use category in the GC [LDR Section 4.4.9(B)(4)(a)] and CBD [4.4.13(B)(3)(a)] zoning districts,by adopting the findings of fact and law contained in the Staff Report and f inding that the request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and meets the criteria set forth in LDR Section 2.4.5(M)(5).

WHEREAS, pursuant to LDR Section 1.1.6, the Planni ng and Zoning Board reviewed the proposed text amendment at a public hearing held on September 19, 2011 and voted 6 to 1 to recommend that the changes be approved; and WHEREAS, pursuant to Florida Statute 163.3174(4)(c ), the Planning and Zoning Board, sitting as the Local Planning Agency, has determine d that the change is consistent with and furthers the goals, objectives and policies of the Comprehensive Pla n; and WHEREAS, the City Commission of the City of Delray Beach adopts the findings in the Planning and Zoning Staff Report; and WHEREAS, the City Commission of the City of Delray Beach finds the ordinance is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
