1993
TO: City Commission
FROM: David N. Tolces, Assistant City Attorne-'~
SUBJECT: Request to Appeal Order Granting Class Certification - Scheinberg, et al.
v. City of Delray Beach
On April 14, 1998, the court entered the attached Order granting the Plaintiffs' request
to proceed as a class in this case concerning the maintenance responsibilities of the
canals in Tropic Isle. The City has thirty (30) days to file an appeal of the non-final
order. The thirty day period runs on May 14, 1998. Therefore, if the City Commission
desires to appeal the Order, the Commission should grant the City Attorney's Office
authority to file the appeal.
On appeal the City would challenge the court's finding that the homeowners in Tropic
Isle have common claims against the City arising out of the maintenance of the canals. It
is our position that due to the different plats, canals, and conditions in the canals, that
this case should not proceed as a class action. The significance of proceeding as a class
is that the attorney representing the class may be entitled to an award of attorney's fees if
the lawsuit is resolved in the Plaintiffs' behalf. Therefore, at this time, we are
requesting the authority to appeal the judge's order granting class certification.
Please call if you have any questions.

SUBJECT: FIRE CODE REVISION - CITY COMMISSION
WORKSHOP - MAY 12, 1998
The City Commission at the April 21, 1998 commission meeting directed the staff
and the High-Rise Fire Safety Task Team to develop proposed code language for existing
residential high-rise buildings covered in the NFPA 101 Life Safety Code, 1994 edition,
Section 19-3.5.6, which requires a supervised automatic sprinkler system or an engineered
life safety system approved by the authority having jurisdiction. Staff and the Task Team
met twice and finalized the proposed language to replace Section 19-3.5.6 of the NFPA 101
Life Safety Code. The proposed language is attached.
The City Commission also requested staff to compare the existing Life Safety Code,
1988 edition, Chapter 19 to the proposed 1994 edition of the Life Safety Code, Chapter 19.
The requirements for existing apartments are the same in all major areas, except high-rise
buildings, including; travel distance within a living unit to a corridor door of a maximum
of 75 feet, travel distance from a living unit door to the nearest exit of a maximum of 100
feet, exit discharge to comply with Section 5-7, means of egress to be illuminated,
emergency lighting required for buildings having greater than 12 living units or greater
than three stories, marking of exits, buildings to have smoke barriers, protection of
vertical openings, protection from hazards, alarm systems for buildings with more than 11
units or more than three stories, annunciator panel for alarm to indicate location of alarm
activation, occupant notification by audible signal, single or multiple station smoke alarms
powered by the electric service in each living unit which shall initiate an alarm audible in
the sleeping rooms of that unit, self-closing doors between living units and corridors, 20
minute rated doors from living unit to corridor, no transfer grilles permitted in corridor
walls or doors, and smoke barriers in exit corridors to establish at least two compartments

SUBJECT: Workshop Agenda - City Commission Meeting May 12, 1998
Request For Proposal - Downtown Valet Parking
Direction
City Commission is requested to review, make suggested changes, provide other
direction, and authorize staff to proceed with the RFP for Valet Services.
Approximately seven (7) months ago City Commission concurred with a
recommendation received from the Parking Management Task Team to develop a
proposal to consolidate valet services in the downtown area. The reason for this
recommendation was a concern of a proliferation of requests from individual businesses
for licenses to utilize City rights-of-way for parking drop-off, pick-up points, and the
loss, as a result, of street parking spaces.
The goals of the proposal are as follows:
· To select a company that will efficiently and effectively operate a Valet Parking
System located in Downtown Delray Beach.
· To select a company that will provide secured parking to patrons of the system in an
area comprised of commercial retail establishments, restaurants, cultural facilities and
events.
To select a company that will assist the City to better meet the needs of the businesses
and customers in an area where parking is at peak demand and availability of space is
severely restricted.
To minimize and consolidate parking pick-up and drop-off points on Atlantic Avenue
in order to maximize the availability of self public parking spaces.
The scope of services to be provided is as follows:
· Provide all personnel to operate the Valet Parking System. Provide all personnel
materials and equipment, including uniforms.
Provide all necessary equipment, fixtures, signage etc. for the operation of the Valet
Parking System.
· Provide adequate security coverage, during operations at those surface lots in
operation.
Maintain parking lots in a neat and clean fashion; ensuring that all trash, bottles, and
newspapers are routinely removed; empty all waste receptacles; and other tasks as
defined and directed by the City of Delray Beach.
Monitor all electrical and lighting fixtures and immediately report all light bulbs and
fixtures not in good working condition to the Assistant City Manager's office.
Provide other services as may be required to keep the facilities in good condition.
Proposers will be evaluated on their administrative abilities, experience, financial
capacity and their concept, plan and costs.
The area included for valet service is along Atlantic Avenue from Swinton to A-l-
A. The Parking Management Advisory Board recommends proceeding with the RFP.
This document has been shared with the existing licensees as well as other business
owners. To date, I have received no comments.
Staff is requesting consensus authority to advertise Request for Proposals for
Valet Services.

minimize the use of an street parking spaces for pick up and drop off the City a~l!~lpates a need
for no more than three (3)locations west of the Intracoastal Waterway and ~ii!'~)locations east

will require their permission to utilize as pick up and drop off locations.
POSSIBLE PARKING LOTS FOR VALET OPERATIONS ..... ..........~ii?' i~.
There are (identified below) various public parking lots .~i::~private p.a.[king lots that might be
considered for valet use. The Proposer would have to obt~!~!.n agrg~i~hts from private owners
for their lots. The City will reserve public parking spaces 'i~l~8~.[:~A[lantic Avenue for general
fire public use. The successful Proposer will not be able to 'b~ii~tire lots for valet parking. A
maximum of 50% of the spaces in most public lots would be set'~i~!~.for this use. No on street
parking spaces will be allowed for valet parki.r~:~:~e.
The City anticipates a need for approximatel~i~300:~J~¢.e.S:... However, the Proposer needs to

Section 287.133, Florida Statutes, was revised by deleting the requirement for vendors to file a
public entity crime statemem prior to the issuance of a purchase order or contract having a value
in excess of the Threshold for Category Two.
All invitations to bid as defined by Section 287.012(11), Florida Statutes, requests for proposals
as defined by Section 287.012(16), Florida Statutes, and any contract document described by
Section 287.058, Florida Statutes, shall contain a statemem informing persons of the provisions of
paragraph (2)(a) of Section 287.133, Florida Statutes, which reads as follows:.
"A person or affiliate who has been placed on the convicted vendor list following a
conviction for a public entity crime may not submit a bid on a contract to provide any
goods or services to a public entity, may not submit a bid on a contract with a public entity
for the construction or repair of a public building or public work, may not submit bids on
--leases of-real property to a public, entity, may not be awarded or perform work as a ~
contractor, supplier, subcontractor, or consultant under a contract with any public entity,
and may not transact business with any public entity in excess of the threshold amount

Re-- Bus/Bench Advertisement - Delray Beach Jaycees
rrEM BEFORE THE COMMISSION:
Discussion of the proposal submitted by the Delray Beach Jaycees to install benches at
various bus stops throughout the City and to gain City Commission support to amend
appropriate sections of the Land Development Regulations governing signs, providing for the
sale of advertisement space on panels attached to these benches. The Jaycees are
proposing this as a means of generating funds for projects supported by their organization.
BACKGROUND:
The Delray Beach Jaycees are proposing that the City Commission consider amending the
sign code to allow "off-premise" signs to benches placed at approximately 40 bus stops
throughout the town. The amendment to the sign code would facilitate the expansion of their
current business operated under the "Pilgrim Corporation, an affiliate of Metropolitan
Systems, into the boundaries of this municipality. Section 4.6.7(C)(1) of the LDR's prohibits
the use of off-premise signs in the City. Off-premise signs are defined as signs, including
building signs, that advertise an establishment, service, merchandise or entertainment that is
sold, produced, manufactured or furnished at a place other than the property on which the
sign is located. The City Commission amended this section of the code to eliminate this type
of signage around 1986 upon a recommendation from the Planning & Zoning Board and
citizen input. The intent of this change was to eliminate visual sign clutter and blighted
conditions. The code required all prohibited signs to be removed by 1991.
The City Attorney cladfied in 1993 that benches located on rights-of-ways annexed into the
City were subject to City codes and ordinances, responding to correspondence from the
Jaycees Attorney alter staff had required several benches along the South Federal Highway
corridor to be removed. The Jaycees have had a long standing agreement with Metro to
install benches and sell advertisement space within the unincorporated areas of Palm Beach
· P~ge 1
County. They are again, seeking City Commission approval to extend their services into the
boundaries of the City of Delray Beach.
The Commission rejected a proposal in 1994 from the Boys & Gids Club to erect a number of
billboards in certain locations to generate funds, electing to support the aesthetic standard
desired for the town. Staff believes citizen input on this proposal would continue to support
the prohibition of off-premise signs. Staff has received a similar proposal from a for-profit firm
to provide the same service, they have an existing contract with the City of Boynton Beach. If
the Commission wishes to consider such a proposal, the process to select the appropriate
provider would need to be identified.
RECO~DATIlN:
Staff is recommending centinued support of the existing code prohibiting off-premise signs
throughout the City.

Proposed Public Seating Project
Submitted to
The Delray Beach City Commission
Time/date
location
Proposed by
The Great Delray Beach :laycees
901 Lakeshore Drive
Delray Beach, FL 33444
PROJECT BACKGROUND
In 1950 a group of Florida Jaycees while meeting Conference in West Palm Beach
recognized the need for public seating in the communities of the State. It was observed that there
was none, anyWhere. All of the transit systems of the day were privately owned and operated.
The transit riders as well as others either stood or they fashioned some form of seating on their
own.
It was a time when dairies maintained sign departments. Supermarkets were small and
the convenience store had not yet appeared. There were large numbers of independently owned
grocers. In return for painting the grocery store exterior walls of the stores, the diaries were
permitted to include their own names and sign ships to make small wooden benches upon Iogos.
Those benches were placed at the front of most grocery stores as well as at many drug stores and
gas stations. The dairies wished for their names and Iogos to be seen everywhere that milk was
sold.
Quite a number of the lightly constructed diary benches were picked up by the people and
placed at bus stops. It was from those benches that the Jaycees developed the plan of providing
seating to be funded by commercial displa~,s. Having recognized the need and having conceived a
method of meeting that need major questions remained. How could Jaycees achieve the goal?
The Jaycees knew that they were good at short term week-end projects where a lot of manpower
is needed but a public seating service would be on-going. It would require an investment in
seating, equipment and people and there would be legal barriers to overcome.
The obstacles s. eemed great and the effort too much for part-time citizen activists. A way
was found. Prevail upon member Jaycees in different areas of the state to set-up what became to
be known as service companies to operate the program as a Jaycee project.
It should be stated that from the beginning it was realized that the seating would be a way
of keeping the Jaycee name before the public, just as it was for the diaries· Due to the age limit on
Jaycee membership as older members leave new members are recruited. Thus, new members
are the lifeblood of the organization.
The plan was complete. Its principle goal would be to provide seating for the communities
but of major importance to the Jaycees would provide identification with the service. That would
be the responsibility of the service companies.
Member Jaycees organized the independent service companies and the project found
early acceptance within communities. At the request of the Jaycees, the state legislature enacted
laws necessary to the seating service. In cooperation with the National Jaycee office in Oklahoma,
Flodda Jaycees visited federal authorities in Washington and policies were interpreted to
accommodate the service.
Throughout their history the Jaycees nationally are the largest financial contributor to the
Muscular Dystrophy Association. The emphasis today is Special Olympics. Early in the seating
service the Jaycees began contributing display space on the seating to the Boys and Gids Clubs.
In time, the clubs were invited to join the Jaycees as sponsors of the service. Similar support and
invitations were later extended to Big Brothers-Big Sisters.
In its conception the seating service was not intended as a ways and means project. The
community need was for a seating service but one that did not conflict with other community
values. For that reason the. service companies were expected to conduct the commercial side of
the service in a conservativ.e, Iow key manner.
Palm Beach County is the bidhplace of a service that has brought rest and comfort to
people throughout the world· We hope the service will not only expand in the future but will include
the Community of Delray Beach.
INTRODUCTION:
August 6, 1996 was the beginning of PalmTran's new phase of expansion. There are
now several additional routes in operation. The system is operating on a 'timed transfer'
concept, Which means the routes will be timed to meet each other at the major locations.
These locations are major shopping malls, hospitals and downtown areas
(The Palm Transmitter).
These routes are designed to be more convenient and user friendly. The service is
accessible to students, professionals and senior citizens while also being sensitive to the
necessary American Disabilities Act (A.D.A.) requirements.
As always, the Jaycees recognize the need for public seating and feel now is an
excellent time to implement such a program.
SERVICE COMPANY:
PILGRIM CORPORATION: Is an affiliate company of Metropolitan Systems. Metropolitan
Systems is one of the original Jaycees service companies. Formed in 1951 by member
Jaycees, at the urging of the mid-state chapters, today the firm is the principal provided of
the Jaycee public seating projects in the State.
Since its founding the service company, as it is referred to, has attempted to remain closed
to the original Jaycee philosophy of providing all desired seating but with controlled
commercial activity. It is to be noted that the service divides itself into two parties: providing
and maintaining the physical seating facilities and engaging in the commercial activity
necessary to the funding of such seating.
From the beginning the Jaycees and the service cOmpany have been closely connected.
The Jaycees set the policy for the most part, Pilgrim is responsible for the commercial side
of the service. Pilgrim provides the personnel to operate the service. They bill for the
service, deposit all funds and they make the disbursements necessary to meet the
obligations. Included in those obligations are record keeping, bookkeeping, accounting,
legal and so on. In addition, the service company contributes to the Jaycee expenses for
governmental relations.
Jaycees participate in addition to other sponsoring organizations (Big Brothers/Big Sisters,
Boy's & Girl's Clubs and Special Olympics of Palm Beach County). Display space and the
production of displays used to assist their organizations or their projects. Surplus funds,
when available, contribute to the purchase of additional seating.
The Jaycees seating service was-never intended to provide a full scale commercial
advertising service so as {o generate funds for either the Jaycees or the County. Such a
service was not thought to be in the best interest of the community. For that reason surplus
funds have always been small or even non-existent.
THE JAYCEES:
Advantage
Throughout Palm Beach County men and women between the ages of 21 to 39 are having fun helping others while
developing leadership qualities through their membership in The U.S. Junior Chamber of Commerce (Jaycees)
The organiz{~tion offers endless opportunities in both a social and professional atmosphere. The Jaycees offer young
people today:
Networking within their community (new friends, business contacts and national Jaycee link program.)
Fun (chapter functions and community events.
Professional training (seminars from career counseling professionals, self-help articles in Jaycees Magazine.)
Organizing s~pport for community/social causes (voters registration, AIDS awareness, holiday programs, fund
raising for local charities, and accident victims within the community.)
~ State, national and international events (State officer elections, the Ten Outstanding Young American awards,
Junior Chamber International World Congress.)
Volunteerin.ff
'v'olunteering through the organization offers unique rewards. Jaycees acquire stills which can be applied in all facets of
their lives.
Self improvement - Expand or develop ones leadership, decision making and public speaki~g skills.
Community awareness - Help identify community needs, then plan and implement projects to help others.
Fellowship - Associate w~th progressive young people who have similar interests and objectives.
That's the Jaycee Advantage: Today's young people learn and achieve goals while helping others and their community.

PURPOSE OF THE BENCH PROJECT
0 Provide public seating at the mass transit bus stop locations within the City of Delray
Beach.
~ Provide public seating at no expense to the taxpayer.
~ Generate revenue for community interest projects.
There are an estimated 75 potenl~tial bus stops along the main arteries of Delray
Beach which would include Atlantic Avenue, Linton Bloulevard, Federal Highway, Congress
Avenue, Lake Ida Road etc. We recognize that some are in residential areas and others in
commercial areas. We could provide seating to all but only place a commercial message in
areas that would not b~ offensive to these residential communities. We would place
advertising on the benches which would be applicable to that particular location. For
instance, the intersection at Federal Highway and Linton Blvd. would be more likely to have
advertising for perhaps a mall proprietor or a local business. In a residential neighborhood
we would be likely to pla~e advertising for Big Brothers/Big Sisters or an upcoming
community event such as Jazz on the Avenue.

the Jaycee public seating projects in the State.
Since its founding the service company, as it is referred to, has attempted to remain closed
to the original Jaycee philosophy of providing all desired seating but with controlled
commercial activity. It is to be noted that the service divides itself into two parties: providing
and maintaining the physical seating facilities and engaging in the commercial activity
necessary to the funding of such seating.
From the beginning the Jaycees and the service cOmpany have been closely connected.
The Jaycees set the policy for the most part, Pilgrim is responsible for the commercial side
of the service. Pilgrim provides the personnel to operate the service. They bill for the
service, deposit all funds and they make the disbursements necessary to meet the
obligations. Included in those obligations are record keeping, bookkeeping, accounting,
legal and so on. In addition, the service company contributes to the Jaycee expenses for
governmental relations.
Jaycees participate in addition to other sponsoring organizations (Big Brothers/Big Sisters,
Boy's & Girl's Clubs and Special Olympics of Palm Beach County). Display space and the
production of displays used to assist their organizations or their projects. Surplus funds,
when available, contribute to the purchase of additional seating.
The Jaycees seating service was-never intended to provide a full scale commercial
advertising service so as {.o generate funds for either the Jaycees or the County. Such a
service was not thought to be in the best interest of the community. For that reason surplus
funds have always been small or even non-existent.
THE JAYCEES:
Advantaqe
Throughout Palm Beach County men and women between the ages of 21 to 39 are having fun helping others while
developing leadership qualities through their membership in The U.S. Junior Chamber of Commerce (Jaycees)
The organiz§tion offers endless opportunities in both a social and professional atmosphere. The Jaycees offer young
people today:
Networking within their community (new friends, business contacts and national Jaycee link program.)
Fun (chapter functions and community events.
Professional training (seminars from career counseling professionals, self-help articles in Jaycees Magazine.)
Organizing support for community/social causes (voters registration, AIDS awareness, holiday programs, fund
raising for local charities, and accident victims within the community.)
~ State, national and international events (State officer elections, the Ten Outstanding Young American awards,
Junior Chamber International World Congress.)
Volunteerinq
V'01unteering through the organization offers unique rewards. Jaycees acquire stills which can be applied in all facets of
their lives.
Self improvement - Expand or develop ones leadership, decision making and public speaking skills.
Community awareness - Help identify community needs, then plan and implement projects to help others.
Fellowship - Associate with progressive young people who have similar interests and objectives.
That's the Jaycee Advantage: Today's young people learn and achieve goals while helping others and their community.

PURPOSE OF THE BENCH PROJECT
0 Provide public seating at the mass transit bus stop locations within the City of Delray
Beach.
0 Provide public seating at no expense to the taxpayer.
0 Generate revenue for community interest projects.
There are an estimated 75 potenetial bus stops along the main arteries of Delray
Beach which would include Atlantic Avenue, Linton Bloulevard, Federal Highway, Congress
Avenue, Lake Ida Road etc. We recognize that some are in residential areas and others in
commercial areas. We could provide seating to all but only place a commercial message in
areas that would not b~ offensive to these residential communities. We would place
advertising on the benches which would be applicable to that particular location. For
instance, the intersection at Federal Highway and Linton Blvd. would be more likely to have
advertising for perhaps a mall proprietor or a local business. In a residential neighborhood
we would be likely to plaqe advertising for Big Brothers/Big Sisters or an upcoming
community event such as Jazz on the Avenue.

TO: City Commission
FROM: David N. Tolces, Assistant City Attorne~b~
SUBJECT: Advertising on Modular Newsracks
The City Attorney's Office has been approached by newsrack companies who are
interested in placing advertising on the modular newsracks. Advertising on the modular
racks is a potential source of revenue for a company who would install and maintain
modular newsracks. The revenue from the advertisements could cover the modular rack
company's maintenance and administrative costs. Thus, there is a question as to whether
the City Commission would consider allowing advertisements on modular newsracks
within the City in order to allow a company that provides the modular newsracks to
recover their costs.
I attach for your information photographs of modular newsracks in San Francisco which
does permit advertising on the newsracks. Please call if you have any questions.
