feet east of Jaeger Drive. (Quasi-Judicial Hearing)

hereto and made an official part of the minutes).
-4-
09/21/04
Paul Dorling, Director of Planning and Zoning, stated the subject property
is located on the south side of Dotterel Road, approximately 100 feet east of Jaeger
Drive. Mr. Doffing stated the site plan approval was for Tract B and the homeowners
association for Tract A is appealing that decision. Tract B is 5.335 acres and is zoned
RM (Multiple Family Residential). The Palms of Delray was originally developed as two
separate tracts (A&B). The City Commission approved the site plan for Tract A on
August 14, 1978 and the site plan for Tract B on April 28, 1980. The two individual
tracts were joined by unity-of-title as they were under the same ownership and shared a
common recreation area. On April 10, 1984, the unity-of-title was released and the tracts
are now under separate ownership.
At its meeting of September 11, 2002, the Site Plan Review and
Appearance Board (SPRAB) reviewed and approved the Class IV site plan modification,
and landscape plan to construct an additional 14 rental units within the existing 32 unit
Palms of Delray rental development. The Board approved the related architectural
elevations on October 23, 2002. On March 26, 2004, the approved Class IV site plan
modification expired. The applicant resubmitted the development proposal which was
approved by SPRAB on July 28, 2004. A Board member from the adjacent development
has filed an appeal of that decision. Staff recommends denial of the appeal based upon a
finding that the Site Plan Review and Appearance Board (SPRAB) correctly considered
the appropriate LDR Sections and related Comprehensive Plan policies in their
deliberations of the site plan modification request for Palms of Delray.
David W. Schmidt, Attorney representing the appellant (Palms of Delray
Homeowners' Association), stated as noted by staff this was originally to be developed as
a unified phase development (Tract A developed first to be followed by Tract B). Mr.
Schmidt gave a brief presentation and stated Palms of Delray is 6 units in acre and as
proposed if this is approved Tract B will be 8.62 units per acre and stated they have not
given the additional 25% setback to comply with the performance standard. He stated the
original developer put the drain line for the pool onto Tract B and if the Commission
supports the site plan modification, his client will be forced to re-route the line at some
expense. He feels the original intent of this unified proposal needs to be taken into
account. Mr. Schmidt briefly discussed the survey and confirmed that the existing
clubhouse is 4.9 feet from the property line. At the time that the unity-of-title was
released, there was an issue about creating this encroachment of the existing clubhouse if
the unity-of-title was released. At its meeting of April 10, 1984, the Delray Beach City
Council voted to release the unity-of-title for Tracts A and B of the Palms of Delray,
subject to the condition regarding the variances for the recreation building as set forth in
the City Attorney's memorandum of April 3, 1984. However, Mr. Schmidt stated this
has never been done and the developer is the successor and interest to the purchaser of
Tract B. He respectfully requests that the site plan not move forward until this issue is
addressed. In summary, Mr. Schmidt stated he does not believe the applicant has met
some of the performance standards in order to have the increased density and does not
believe it is compatible under LDR Section 2.4.5 with the idea of the original intent of the
development. In addition, the issue of the setback for the encroachment into the setback
by the clubhouse has to been addressed in addition to the roadway issue.

09/21/04
Michael Weiner, Attorney with Weiner & Aronson, P.A. (102 N. Swinton
Avenue) representing the applicant, stated with respect to the last two items mentioned
mainly whether or not the variances are required of them or required of their neighbors;
or, whether or not the consent is required under the plat are issues which should be dealt
with elsewhere not on an appeal. Mr. Weiner stated this began in September 2002 and
stated his expert witnesses is the entire Planning and Zoning Department and the Site
Plan Review and Appearance Board (SPRAB) which includes architects and experience
with the real estate industry. Mr. Weiner stated the first approvals began in September
2002 and in October 2003 they came back and received more approvals concerning the
elevations, and additional approvals in April 2004 regarding the handicapped spaces.
Because there was a problem with the expiration of approvals, Mr. Weiner stated they
came back another time which meant the site plan modification was considered again.
He stated once again for the fourth time SPRAB approved the site plan modification and
recommended approval. LDR Section 4.4.6 is scrutinized in detail in the July 28, 2004,
staff report and LDR Section 4.4.6(a), LDR Section 4.4.6(b), and LDR Section 4.4.6(c),
etc. has been met.
Nanette O'Brien (Registered Broker in Delray Beach for 18 years), stated
it is her professional opinion that if Mr. Michael's project is built there will be no
material depreciation in value with respect to the neighboring property and construction
will not cause a substantial depreciation in property values.
At this point, Mr. Weiner gave a brief cross-examination and submitted a
list of questions and stated his objection is noted for the record.
David Schmidt stated he made a presentation on behalf of his clients and
did not testify as an expert witness and feels cross-examination is inappropriate under
these circumstances.
At this point, Mr. Dorling gave a brief rebuttal:
Mr. Dorling stated there were two issues discussed by Mr. Schmidt. One
with respect to LDR Section 4.4.6 as it relates to increase in density. The Planning and
Zoning staff report does outline that they do meet the criteria with the exception of LDR
Section 4.4.6(c) relating to when immediately adjacent to a residential zoning district
having a lower density. Staff notes that this is not applicable because RM (Multiple
Family Residential - Medium Density) is adjacent to RM and it does not matter what was
originally developed because that performance standard relates to the density. Mr.
Dorling stated the density range is from 6-12 and if you have 8 one does not have to meet
all the performance standards; if you have 12 one has to meet all the performance
standards and noted there is a finding that they did meet all the requirements. He does
not see any impact with respect to traffic.
At this point, Mr. Weiner gave a brief rebuttal:
-6-
09/21/04
Mr. Weiner stated they have met their competent substantial burden of
proof because of Park of Commerce vs. City of Delray Beach and recommended that the
Commission deny this appeal.
Mr. Schmidt stated with regard to Mr. Weiner's comments about this
process dragging on for years and that these issues could have been addressed a long time
ago, he read into the record a few words from the July 28th SPRAB meeting. Mr.
Schmidt stated the first his clients knew about this is when work first begin this year and

and the Charter of the City of Delray Beach, Florida.
Paul Dorling, Director of Planning and Zoning, stated in June of 2003 the

criteria for the in-lieu fee program. Mr. Dorling stated the Historic Preservation Board
(HPB) reviewed this on December 3, 2003 and recommended approval. The Site Plan
Review and Appearance Board (SPRAB) reviewed the proposed amendment on

Coalition (WARC) reviewed the proposed amendment on December 10, 2003 and the
Board felt that the imposition of any restrictions or modifications to the program might
-13-
09/21/04
stifle development in the area and requested that the West Atlantic Avenue corridor be
excluded from any proposed modifications. The Community Redevelopment Agency
(CRA) reviewed the proposed amendment on March 19, 2004 and the CRA Director
suggested that developers should be credited for the construction of on-street parking
spaces in the public right-of-way. This was addressed and incorporated into the final
draft of the ordinance and the Board recommended approval. The Downtown
Development Authority (DDA) reviewed the proposed amendment and the Board
recommended approval. The Parking Management Advisory Board (PMAB) reviewed
the proposed amendment on February 25, 2004 and the Board recommended approval.
Mayor Perlman declared the public hearing open.
Jim Smith, 1225 S. Ocean Boulevard, Delray Beach, agrees with the
recommendation set forth by the City Manager regarding the shared parking. He
supports shared parking; however, he does not believe the applicants should receive a
refund of in-lieu fees. Mr. Smith commented about the payment method for in-lieu
parking and discussed the two payment options. Secondly, he commented about the logic
in the in-lieu fee area in paragraph (E)(3)(a) and does not feel it would be in the best
interest of the City to exempt in-fill development from the new development. He also
expressed concern over the cost of the in-lieu parking fee, the operating expenses and
maintenance for the in-lieu spaces.
There being no one from the public who wished to address the
Commission regarding Ordinance No. 35-04, the public heating was closed.
Brief discussion by the Commission followed.
Mr. Levinson stated he concurs with the City Manager on the shared
parking and would recommend that paragraph (E)(6) be removed from the ordinance.
Secondly, Mr. Levinson stated by placing a cap the number of in-lieu spaces would
attempt to deal with demand and he feels this is more of a supply problem. He stated it is
up to government to create these supply spaces particularly in redevelopment areas. Mr.
Levinson supports amending the proposed regulation to include the two changes.
Mrs. Archer stated she concurs with comments expressed by Mr.
Levinson. However, she concurs with comments expressed by Mr. Smith that new
development provides parking lot premise.
Mayor Perlman concurs with comments expressed by Mr. Levinson.
The City Manager commended staff and the Boards for the outstanding
job they have done. He stated in the process of working on this staff has put out inquiries
about what other people are doing and he noted this is very innovative and believes the
parking will happen. The City Manager stated the City of Delray Beach owns land where
additional garages can be built.
-14-
09/21/04
Mrs. Archer stated one of the issues that also have to be addressed is
whether or not the City is going to continue to use in-lieu spaces or are we going to
require an assignment of space or shared use of space in parking garages. She feels this
should be taken into consideration as staff begins to move forward. Mayor Perlman
concurred with comments expressed by Mrs. Archer.
Ms. McCarthy moved to approve Ordinance No. 35-04 on First
Reading/First Public Hearing, seconded by Mr. Levinson. Upon roll call the Commission
voted as follows: Mrs. Archer - No; Mr. Levinson - No; Ms. McCarthy - No; Mayor

been prominent especially after Hurricane Frances. She stated in the past she called
-18-
09/21/04
numerous times based on what she believed were violations of City Code which
supported preservation of mature trees. Mrs. Finst stated the interpretation she had of
"preservation" did not meet with the people she spoke to and the trees continued in their
pruning process to the point where they were "hat racked". She suggested that the City
look into re-interpretation of the existing Code and review the process that was done
about a year ago where the City Commission passed an ordinance as part of licensing for
yard maintenance which required some training in care of equipment to prevent spread of
citrus canker.
Speaking per the direction of the President of the Homeowners' League of
Chatelaine, Mrs. Finst stated there is a swimming pool that is not fenced in the Chatelaine
neighborhood and she feels this is an unsafe situation.

will include 800 square feet of retail floor area and a 61 space parking garage on the first
level; a 62 space parking garage on the second level; and residential dwelling units on the
third, fourth and fifth levels (55 dwelling units in total). The conditional use approval has
been requested to allow a density in excess of 30 units per acre (38.2 du/ac is proposed)
and to allow for a building height of up to 60' (54'-3" is proposed).
Mr. Dorling stated the project has been before the Planning and Zoning
Board on July 19th. At that time, they were requesting a height increase to 56 feet and a
unit breaker density of 43.75 units to the acre which resulted in 63 dwelling units. The
Board had some concems at that time regarding the granting of conditional use for both
density and height in the same development and for the lack of commercial floor area
along S.E. 2nd Avenue. Therefore, the Board tabled this and gave direction to the
applicant and the applicant has further stepped back the building to reduce the bulk of the
structure and has provided modifications reducing the height slightly and to some of the
units to the lower levels indicated and they have added 800 square feet of floor area. The
required findings as they relate to height is Section 4.3.4(J)(4)(b) are made in the staff
report and the performance standards Section 4.4.13(I) which relate to granting of density
increases and noted five of those performance standards have been met. Three additional
ones can be met with conditions of approval which are attached and endorsed by the
Planning and Zoning.
At its meeting of August 16, 2004, the Planning and Zoning Board held a
public hearing in conjunction with the conditional use requests. There was no public
testimony regarding the request. After deliberation, the Board moved a recommendation
of approval for the conditional use request to allow for a building height of 54'-3" on a
vote of 3-2 (Borchardt and Morris dissenting, Pike absent, Krall stepped down) and
moved a recommendation of approval for the conditional use request to allow for a
density of 38.2 du/ac on a vote of 4-1 (Borchardt dissenting, Pike absent, Krall stepped
down), by adopting the findings of fact and law contained in the staff report, and finding
that the request and approval thereof is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and
meets criteria set forth in Sections 2.4.5(E)(5), 4.3.4.(J)(4)(b), 4.4.13(I), and Chapter 3 of
the LDR's, subject to the conditions listed in the Planning and Zoning Board staff report.
The Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) had some concerns with respect to the
fifth floor and wanted some additional setback dimensions to mitigate its mass and also
expressed concerns relating to the lack of retail and requested that the height not be
approved in excess of 48 feet. At their meeting of August 12, 2004, the CRA
reconsidered this and there was a consensus that they still wanted the building to be 48
feet.
Michael Listick, Attorney with Listick & Krall, P.A., representing Faison-
Grove Square, L.L.C. (applicant), stated all the legal requirements have been met.

Randall Stofft, Randall Stoffi Architects, gave a brief overview of the
architectural elevations and he feels the development will be a great addition to the area.
Pryse Elam, Developer, 219 S.E. 7th Avenue, Delray Beach, FL, 33483,
stated this is his first project in Delray Beach and this is a very narrow site running along
a very active freight train track. Mr. Elam stated putting units on the ground next to all of
the rumbling noise was not an option. Therefore, he designed two levels of parking; one
being partially in the ground and then put the units above the parking and the purpose of
doing this is to get those units as far away from the train tracks as possible. Secondly,
these are smaller units compared to what is typically found in Delray Beach with sizes
starting a little less than 1,000 square feet in addition to taller ceilings.
Mr. Listick stated in conclusion they have met all the requirements for
density and height; worked with Planning and Zoning staff to make changes to comply
with all the design requirements; designed a project that will reduce traffic, increased
parking available to the public and have agreed to demolish an eyesore of a 60 foot
building.
Mayor Perlman stated if anyone from the public would like to speak in
favor or in opposition of the project, to come forward at this time.
Alice Finst, 707 Place Tavant, Delray Beach, FL, 33445, representing
Progressive Residents of Delray (PROD), asked about the people who live here and voted
to keep the height limit at 48 feet.
Jim Smith, 1225 S. Ocean Boulevard, Delray Beach, FL 33483, supports
the applicant and while he believes there should be laws that limit the height, he thinks
there should be exceptions to the limitations.
Tony Boueri, owner of Style & Wine, supports the developer and the
project.
No one else from the public came forward to speak in favor or in
opposition of the project; therefore the public hearing was closed.
Mr. Levinson stated he hopes there will be sufficient lighting along 2nd
Avenue.
Ms. McCarthy asked if there is a request for in-lieu parking associated
with this project. Mr. Dorling stated they provide all of their required spaces and a few
spaces over and above their requirement. In addition, they will also provide 12 on-street
parking spaces for the public.
Mayor Perlman asked for clarification as to whether the CRA voted on
this project. Mr. Dorling stated it was his understanding there was a consensus reached
that the applicant did not address their initial concerns between the first time they saw it
-21 -
09/21/04
and the second time they saw it. Mr. Levinson stated he attended the CRA meeting and
there was mixed reviews regarding the height and there was no official vote.
Mayor Perlman stated there was some testimony regarding affordability
and asked how affordability is being redefined in relation to this project. Mr. Listick
stated there will be nothing under $200,000 and commented that affordability does not
have an official definition in his mind.
Prior to the motion, Mayor Pedman expressed concerns over the height
limit being in excess of 48 feet and stated a building that is beyond four stories does
change the character. He concurs with the applicant that this is a core block of the City
and expressed concern over a mixed-use building that only has 800 square feet of retail.
Mayor Perlman stated a key element to the downtown is residential, retail, restaurants
and employment and he feels the missing element to the downtown is the lack of
employment.
Mrs. Archer stated the size of this building and location of the lot prohibit
a lot more retail will still being able to meet the parking requirements. She feels the
developer has gone above and beyond to accommodate the City. Mrs. Archer stated
across the street there will be a parking garage and she feels it will be difficult to put
more retail on this location at the current time.
Ms. McCarthy stated this is one building where she feels the developer has
been creative and put the parking within the building and they do not compromise the
Comprehensive Plan and the City's goals. She stated they have kept the viable
businesses on Atlantic Avenue in place so that it embraces the goals especially for the
pedestrian walk. Ms. McCarthy stated they have done the setback required of them and
she strongly supports the project largely because of their being self-contained.
Mr. Levinson stated he is sensitive to the issue of height; however, he
disagrees with comments expressed by a member from the public and stated people voted
for 48 feet with an exception in the CBD (Central Business District) for 60 feet when
appropriate.
Mr. Levinson moved to approve the conditional use request to allow for a
building height in excess of 48 feet (54' - 3") for Grove Square, by adopting the findings
of fact and law contained in the staff report, and finding that the request and approval
thereof is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and meets criteria set forth in Sections
2.4.5(E)(5), 4.3.4(J)(4)(b), and Chapter 3 of the LDR's subject to the conditions listed in
the Planning and Zoning Board staff report; and, with the added condition that the excess
height apply only to the project as proposed and does not apply to the current buildings
that exist fronting Atlantic Avenue, seconded by Mrs. Archer. Upon roll call the
Commission voted as follows: Mr. Levinson - Yes; Ms. McCarthy - Yes; Mayor
Perlman - No; Mrs. Archer - Yes. Said motion passed with a 3 to 1 vote.

Mr. Dorling stated this request is a Class III site plan modification to
convert 1,320 square feet of an existing Barber Shop and retail bay to a restaurant. This
proposed conversion requires the provision of four (4) additional spaces to accommodate
the difference between these uses. LDR Section 4.6.9(E)(3) states "If it is impossible or
inappropriate to provide the required on-site or off-site parking spaces, the City
Commission may approve the payment of a fee in-lieu of providing such required
parking..." The applicant is requesting to purchase four (4) in-lieu spaces at a cost of
$12,000 per space totaling $48,000. The subject property has a pre-existing non-
conformity (5 space shortage) with respect to parking and currently has no parking
spaces. The approval of this request would result in the property having 100% of its
parking through a combination of a pre-existing nonconformity credit and in-lieu of fees.
At its meeting of August 12, 2004, the Community Redevelopment
Agency considered the request and recommended approval; at its meeting of August 13,

She stated the Resurrection Life Fellowship Church of God located at 209
S.W. 5th Avenue in Delray Beach is doing a relief effort for both Jamaica and Haiti.
13.C.3. Mr. Levinson
Mr. Levinson stated there are some good ordinances with regard to the
issue of trees and stated he is not concerned with "hat racking" anymore because he
thinks the City can go ahead and take things down if property owners do not. Mr.
Levinson suggested that staff draft something that addresses some of these problems
because he believes it was the source of a lot of the frustration that people had with
regard to losing their electricity.
Secondly, he stated he is glad to see there has been an update on the email
system/list serve and asked for a preview of it beforehand to ensure it meets the
objectives of the Commission.
With regard to the response system for complaints and comments (the
Better Place Complaint/Compliment Tracking System), Mr. Levinson stated there was
some discussion about whether or not an automated response system could be generated
so that when a person places a complaint or comment they can get an acknowledgment
that the complaint or comment was at least received. He suggested that an automated
response system be implemented to alert people that their comments have been received.
He commented about a letter he received from the Museum of Lifestyle
and Fashion and how it would be approximately 1 ½ years before anything would be done
with the property. Mr. Levinson stated he previously expressed his concern about the
potential contamination on this site and whether it may have any impact on the
community. He suggested that if it is going to take this long that the City may want to
consider eminent domain to clean up the property. In addition, Mr. Levinson stated the
mitigation should take place on a timely basis and he does not feel the current timeframe
is appropriate.

Palms of Delray, Tract B
Raymond Schamis
2590 Albatross Rd N. Unit D.
Delray Beach FL, 33444
Dear Board,
Since I will be unable to attend the meeting I am sending you my
comments in writing to be considered. I'll keep it brief with just the facts.
Tract A is the Palms of Delray Homeowners Association. Tract B is a
rental community, who uses the name. Each community has $ building with
4 units in each with identical structures. All the building in the Palms of
Delray, whether the rental community or the homeowners association are
identical in structure except the pool clubhouse.
The land in question for the 10 unit building was originally
designated for a recreational area. This building, which I am told will look
nothing like any of the other units in either Tract A or B, will literally
overshadow our community pool, restricting our enjoyment of a recreational
area that has bccn there for over 20 years. Original community documents
on file when I purchased my property, which is the closest unit to the new
proposed building, state the land is to be a "tennis court".
The impact of 14 new units overall will add upwards of 50 more
people misusing our community pool, letting there dogs crap in our grass,
and parking in our community lots thus creating even more expense and
problems for Palms of Delray Homeowners Association (Tract A). It has
been a constant battle for years lxying to keep Tract B renters from abusing
our colnlnon areas.
I f~l your decision is more of less a starting point in a legal battle.
Tract B is will fight for his right to build on what he considers private
property in order to increase his investment, and I will fight to keep my
homestead from being overrun by a rental community.
Thank you

To Whom It May Concern
This letter is written to inform the city council of my opinion, as a unit owner of The Palms of
Defray, as to the building of additional units on Tract B at The Palms of Defray.
In residing at The Palms of Delray for the last five years, I have come to the conclusion
that the construction of additional condominium units by Mr. Michael should not be halted if
these units are built by the Board's specifications and all legalities are met.
Statements voiced by Mr. Peter Scott, and previous counsel that all unit owners here are in favor
of this appeal's process and the halting of conStruction are not accurate. This appeal does not
have the consent by all of the unit owners residing on Tract A.
Sincerely
Dianna BeDilion
Downtown Parking Problems
Tonight, the City Commission will be considering five in lieu
parking requests. In the future, there likely will be ~ more
similar requests.., one, after the other.
The problem with in lieu parking fees is threefold: first, they are
a crutch that allows developers to over build on their own
property by not requiring them to provide for their own parking
requirements; second, current in lieu parking fee levels are set
too Iow to provide for substitute parking (Instead we are in effect
selling parking spaces below the market rate; and, third, we are
not anticipating and providing for sufficient parking.
As a result, more and more motorists are driving around looking
for parking spaces, and residents are left holding the bag for
more parking garages. Additionally, there are quality of life
issues. Who wants more cars driving around downtown on
Atlantic Avenue looking for parking spaces? Who hones'Jy
believes that we need more restaurants on Atlantic Avenue?
Who among us want more valet parking spaces on Atlantic
Avenue? And, if taxpayers are asked to continually foot the bill
for more and more parking garages it will only mean that there
will be that much less taxpayer funds available for other
desirable projects.
Clearly, our current system is woefully inadequate and needs to
be fixed. It needs to be replaced with a coherent and balanced
downtown parking policy...a policy that ensures a livable and
vibrant downtown and considers quality of life issues that
preserve our "Village by the Sea".
No one, no one, no one, wants Delray Beach to become Just
another Megatropolisl

Parking Facts
Before we are able to develop po~lble solutions to our parking dilemma, we
must first acknowledge ~ome basic facts'about downtown parking.
First, we must realize that It Is no longer realistically possible to expect to be able
to park directly in front of one's downtown destination. Tho, e days are gone
forever.
Second, downtown parking is a legltlmats City retponslbility, not unlike building
City streets and City sidewalks. There is no one else who will voluntarily accept
Third, the City, through Its policies, must decide whether or not It Mil allow
developers to overbuild and be allowed to continue purchasing parking space~
from the City.
Fourth, there is no such thing a~ 'free parking". Uke any o~her commodity,
someone must pay. B~sed on the estimated cost of building the Old School
Square perking garage, we can easily determine the co~t of a parking specs by
dividing the number of spaces into that estimated land acquisition and
construction cost. In addition to that c~st, we mu~t add In the cost of parldng
studies and analysis, estimated Interest carrying costs, and operating costs
(Including maintenance).
Filth, someone must get the bill for parking. It may be the developer, If the City
declde~ that developers are required to provide for all of their own Parking
requirements; it may be the motorist, if the City decide~ to collect I~rldng fee~; It
may be all the downtown property owners, if the City declde~ to levy a parking
tax; It may be all Delr~y Be~ch property owners via an Incrsa~e In property laxos;
or, It may be a combination of all these alternatives.
And, finally we must realize that In addition to the financial cost, there is a qual~
of life cost associated with overdevelopment and by having too many motor
vehicles in a restricted space. Noise pollution, air pollution, and traffic cong~lt~n
are not plemnt conditions.
In fact, when given a choice, mo~t people would prefer a more people fflendly
environment than that.

Parking Responsibility
As we have learned, the City is ultimately responsible for downtown parking. In fact,
to a certain extent, the City is able to control and direct growth by Its parking
policies.
If the City chooses to turn its back - either ignoring its parking responsibility or
discharging its duty incorrectly - Delray Beach could become a megatropolls with
traffic and parking congestion as far as the eye can
Let's examine the various tools the City has at its disposal to limit explosive and
unmanageable growth.
First, allowing or disallowing developers the option of building larger buildings by
perrnit'dng them to "buy" parking from the City.
Second, recognizing present parking deficiencies and better anticipating future
needs. A case in point, is how quickly the City will act to build a parking garage east
of the railroad tracks to make up for the loss of parldng at the "old' library site.
Third, placing a user's tax on motorists - i.e. Installing parking meters throughout
the downtown area. This action would also generate hundreds of thousands of
dollars annually of new revenue for the City.
Four, Increasing in-lieu parking fees to cover the real cost of providing substitute
parking spaces.
Five, levying a parking fee on all downtown property owners end,
Six, asking all Delray Beach property owners to pay for downtown parking as was
recently done with the Old School Square Parking Garage.
Obviously, some of these options are more onerous than others.
What should we do?
The first step is that the City needs to accept, recognize, and publicly acknowledge
its parking responsibility. It needs to be pro-active by providing leadership and
public education about ils role, and it needs to act quickly to eliminate today's
parking deficiencies and better anticipate tomorrow's needs.
Next, let's talk about whom should pay for parking and why ....

Parking: #1. Who Should Pay and Why
Like most problems, there are no simple solutions for improving downtown
parking.
Obviously, as we explore a possible solu~on or solutions, we must make
subjective judgments, guided by personal principles.
For me, some of those principles include fairness to all, maintaining the charm of
the "Village by the Sea", distain for uncontrollable and unmanageable growth,
ensuring a livable, vitalized, bustling, and prosperous downtown, and prodding a
higher quality of life in the future for all of us.
We can begin our search for a downtown parking solution by first eliminating
what I believe to be the worst possible alternative for paying for downtown
parking. I believe that it would be outrageously unfair to ask our existing
downtown property owners to pay for parking. They have played by the rules and
should not be singled out to foot a new tax.
I also believe that if we are to include in-lieu parking fees as part of our solution,
then the fees need to be Increased to match the real cost of providing substitute
parking. That's only fair, too.
Another answer is to install parking meters west of the intracostal. Parking
meters distribute the burden to the user and should be in the solution mix.., after
all the automobile is the real villain. You just can't make it disappear on command
(as much as we'd like to). Parking meters already exist east of the intracostal, and
it is only fair that businesses on the other side of the bridge do not retain an
unfair customer advantage. Parking meters would also discourage downtown
business employees from parking in spaces not intended for them. In effect, by
freeing up these spaces, we will be adding parking spaces to our supply at no
cost while generating a new source of revenue, too. Parking meters not only set a
price, but establish a monetary value to on-street parking. This is important
because there are alternative uses for that space- i.e. wider sidewalks, more
landscaping, and yes, even bicycle lanes. In my opinion, parking meters are a big
part of the solution and should be seriously considered.
Next, we will tackle the hard part. How do we address our cu,,~nt parking
problem ....

Parking: II. Who pay and Why
Now for the hard part .... How do we make up for our present
parking shortages?
As the saying goes, we're a nickel short and a dime late.
Increases in in-lieu parking fees and new parking meter
revenues won't come soon enough to cover the cost of building
a much needed parking garage east of the railroad tracks to
compensate for the loss of the "old" library parking and to make
up for existing parking shortages.
We will have to ask Delray Beach property owners to step to the
plate once again as they did to build the Old School Square
Parking Garage.
If we present the problem to them intelligently and enumerate
the quality of life issues Involved, they will respond as they did
before. We need to be upfront and include other quality of life
projects in a new bond package proposal.
Delray Beach residents expect a higher quality of life In the
future. We shouldn't disappoint them.
Later tonight, I will be addressing the need for a new bond issue
that will include the new parking garage and many other quality
of life projects that our residents want and are willing to pay for.
All we have to do is ask them.
Every resident and every business owner wants Delray Beach to
become the envy of every other city in the US~
We simply need to demonstrate that we're not afraid to lead
them!

Narrative Statement
Project Description
Please provide your narrative statement in the space provided below:
We are seeking financial assistance with a project covered under the Fire Prevention category - the purchase of
a Fire Safety House with Weather Preparedness Package. This proposed project is essential to educate our
community on Fire Safety as well as how to recognize weather warnings and how to prepare when severe
weather strikes. With a Fire Safety House with Weather Preparedness Package, we feel we could make a great
impact on citizens of all ages and business owners to help them understand the importance of fire safety, what
safety measures they need to practice, as well as experience a severe weather simulation in a realistic and safe
environment.
Our comprehensive fire safety-training program would target specific USFA high-risk groups - senior citizens,
children, and the community emergency responders that volunteer at our department. Through the use of the
Fire Safety House with Weather Preparedness Package, we will be able to provide a hands-on educational
approach to fire safety and emergency preparedness by taking our programs directly to these specific
populations. Our identified at-risk groups include children age 14 and under (15 % of our population), seniors
over the age of 65 (30% of our population), and seniors age 55-64 (10% of our population). The proposed Fire
Safety House with Weather Preparedness Package is an advanced educational tool for the public. We foresee
the fire department visiting schools with the trailer to enhance, expand and supplement our current fire safety
training already in place in our elementary schools, which targets nearly 6000 students citywide.
Delray Beach has 8 public elementary schools. We anticipate using the Fire Safety House with Weather
Preparedness Package as a foundation for the development of a new program aimed to help children. Our
programs have concentrated on the adult population, but failed to prepare our children for any severe weather
emergencies. From what I have witnessed some of the children are now fearful and suffering from some forms
of post traumatic stress. This hurricane season has reemphasized the tremendous need for this type of
educational tool. As our community's fire personnel, we feel we should educate and help prepare our citizens to
recognize weather warnings and proper steps to follow when severe weather strikes along with teaching about
fire safety.
The proposed Fire Safety House with Weather Preparedness Package will serve as an educational tool utilized
throughout our community. This tool can be used at many events including: special occasions, such as
department open houses, community celebrations including the Fourth of July, block parties, business
promotions, at churches, health fairs, career days, fire department tours and even training our community
emergency responders.
WHY FUNDING IS NECESSARY:
The Delray Beach Fire-Rescue Department responds to over 10,000 calls per year. Our number one concern is
public health and safety for the members of our community. Last year, we had 50 structure rites with a total fire
loss of $493,312. This statistics include 11 fires at commercial establishments.
Our Fire Safety division has a limited budget to support the purchase this kind of teaching tool. With the
proposed project, our department can provide valuable fire and life safety education in our schools, and
hurricane preparedness to all ages including senior citizens, disabled residents and community emergency
responders.

Because our community consists of 66,953 residents, our funding responsibility equals to 30% of the total
project cost. We will fund our projected cost of the Fire Safety House with Weather Preparedness Package
through funds raised at an annual golf tournament fundraising event.
BENEFIT OF PROGRAM TO COMMUNITY:
Education is a powerful tool in fighting fires and saving lives. Our community would benefit greatly by the
acquisition of a Fire Safety House with Weather Preparedness Package. Through this vehicle, we will have a
greater opportunity to reach out to those who may not be getting the hurricane and fire safety instructions they
should. It will provide firefighters with a "mobile classroom" featuring home-like rooms and real-life hazards. It is
the perfect tool to deliver fire safety and severe weather preparedness to children and other at risk populations.
This new teaching tool will help us educate our community to the importance of fire safety, and man-made and
natural disasters.
The programs that will be the focus of our fire safety education lessons include home escape plans; fire safety in
the kitchen, living room, and bedroom; the proper way to report a fire to 9-1-1; the appropriate safety,
preparedness steps to take when severe weather threatens and what to do after the storm. Safety lessons will
also include crawling Iow in smoke, exiting bedroom windows, the importance of functioning smoke detectors,
and how to recognize fire hazards in the home.
We strongly believe that an educating our community through the the use of educational instructions at the Fire
Safety House with Weather Preparedness Package, we can reduce the number of fire deaths and the total
destruction of businesses by fire and storms in our community. Thank you for your consideration.

Community Health Improvement Program
Executive Summary
The concept of the Delray Beach Fire-Rescue CHIP program is to better serve our community and
seniors citizens, which are experiencing a rapid growth rate to an estimated 80 million seniors by the year
2050 nationwide. (U.S. Census Bureau, 2001). According to the year 2000 U.S Census, approximately
30.5% of the population residing in the City of Delray Beach were seniors. This demographical statistic
has produced an increased demand for Fire-Rescue services, hospital occupancies, and community-based
services. This, in turn, has led to a need for an outreach program such as a (CHIP) Community Health
Improvement Program. The CHIP program will bring a closer relationship with our community and
Delray Beach Fire-Rescue by providing education, assessing needs and finding resolutions to those needs.
In tum, our personnel will run less public assist calls and have fewer injuries from lifting. The CHIP
program will be able to solve problems for the community that cannot be solved by shift personnel. The
Delray Beach Fire-Rescue Department will use fewer resources, such as apparatus, fuel, and wear and tear
on vehicles. Some of our seniors get sent to the hospital needlessly, because our personnel have no other
options available for that patient. These patients can not be left alone and they do not belong in the
hospital. They are transported to the hospital, only to be caught in the system and repeat the process.
This is taxing to the hospitals and frustrating for the patients and our personnel.
The concept of the CHIP program will change all of this and make a safer, healthier community. The
CHIP program will provide Fire-Rescue personnel a resource Paramedic/RN to help solve these problems
and bring continuity of care to the community.
The Delray Beach Fire-Rescue CHIP program's mission is to provide unique and quality care with a
safe environment for our seniors and citizens in need. CHIP will provide options of care through
education and resources, so that decisions about current and future care can be made while patients are
still capable.
Through long-term commitment to this program, we will be recognized as a department that is
responsive to the needs of our seniors and community.
The Delray Beach Fire-Rescue CHIP program can be characterized as a unique program in that our
typical services are of the emergent nature (911 calls). This program came about as a result of the special
needs and desires of our senior citizens, special needs citizens, concerns of Fire-Rescue personnel, and the
community at large.
The Delray Beach Fire-Rescue Department recognizes the need for an out-reach program in the
community. The program will be presented to the City for future funding after termination of Quantum
Foundation support.
The effectiveness of the Delray Beach Fire-Rescue CHIP program will be evaluated in several ways;
through surveys and interviews with clients, and/or their care givers to determine whether their needs
have been met. Information gathered through other agency providers, surveys and interviews will also be
conducted with Delray Beach Fire-Rescue personnel and our Medical Director; Dr. Randall Wolff. We
will also evaluate statistical data from our data base on Public Assist calls.

Administrative Services Memorandum
TO: David T. Harden, City Manager
FROM: ~;~Robert A. Barcinski, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: Recommendations for Funding Special Events and Miscellaneous
Grants FY 05 Budget
DATE: September 9, ~o0{
A committee composed of Rex Taylor, Lula Butler, Joe Safford, Doug Randolph and myself
reviewed funding requests in the FY 05 budget form the City Commission Special Event
account and the Miscellaneous Grant Division.
A total of $56,500 in requests was received for funding from the Special Event account with
a budget of $43,000. A total of $621,682 in requests was received for funding from the
Miscellaneous Grant Division with a budget of $355,000.
Past policy has been to limit the funding from the Special Event account to no more than
$50,000 and the Miscellaneous Grant Division to no more than 1% of operating millage
($380,919). The budgeted amount is $355,000. Although we have not adopted a specific
policy or criteria for funding these requests, the committee used the attached set of non-
binding criteria as we reviewed the requests this year.
Staff recommendations for funding are attached as Exhibit "A" and "B". Also attached is
Exhibit "C" which provides additional information for requests in the Miscellaneous Grant
Division.
A summary of staff review comments is as follows:
A) Special Events
1. Holiday Parade: This event is co-sponsored by our Parks and Recreation
Department with the Chamber of Commei~e. The funding ~[s used to pay bands, for
mailings and applications and prizes. This event does have a positive economic
impact. The Committee recommends $1,500 funding.
2. Fotofusion: Funding is requested by Palm Beach Photographic to offset this events
cost. Palm Beach Photographic has been approved for funding by the TDC in the
amount of $163,449. Although the Committee felt this event brought economic and
marketing value to the City we did not think there was a financial need due to TDC
funding. The Committee recommends $ -0- funding.
3. Martin Luther King Celebration: Funding requested is used to purchase trophies,
certificates and other items needed for youth participants in this birthday celebration.
The event meets the goal of "Community Unity". The Committee recommends $500
funding.
4. Sister Cities Committee: Funding requested will be used to offset costs for gifts
for visitors and the Art Contest. The total budget for Sister Cities for FY 04-05 is
$31,000. This is a City supported committee. The Committee recommends $2,500
funding.
5. First Night: This is a City sponsored event. The Joint Venture provides assistance
in planning, fund-raising, marketing, program planning and volunteers. This event
does have marketing and economic value to the City. These funds would be
transferred to the Cities First Night account. The Committee recommends $5,000
funding.
B) Miscellaneous Grants
1. Economic DevelopmentDirector: This is the City's share for the Economic
Development Director position. This item does meet the goal of
Expanded/Diversified Downtown and was funded last year as part of our agreement
with the Chamber of Commerce. The Committee recommends $50,000 for funding.
2. Economic Development (Chamber of Commerce): Funds are used for
economic development purposes and marketing of the City. This is part of our
commitment to utilize occupational license revenue for this purpose. This request
also supports Goal 3 "Expanded Diversified Local Economy". The Committee
recommends $25,000 funding.
3. Economic Incentive ABC Carpet: The City, by agreement, has a commitment to
fund this item through 2006. The Committee recommends $26,410 funding.
4. Aid to Victims of Domestic Assault (AVDA): This agency is a United Way
funded agency that provides services which are not duplicated by another agency.
They are a 501c(3) organization that provides services utilized by our Police
Department. Funding will assist in costs associated with the emergency shelter
located in Delray Beach, 24 hour crisis line and counseling services. The Committee
recommends $22,000 funding.
5. The Association of Retarded Citizens (ARC): This is a United Way funded
organization whose services are not provided by another organization. Funding is
requested to provide in-home respite for Delray Beach children with profound
disabilities. The Committee recommends $3,000 funding.
6. Boys and Girls Club of Palm Beach County: This is a United Way funded
organization. Additional funding is requested to provide for operating costs
associated with the new 21,000 square foot building. Approximately 75% of their
clients are Delray Beach residents. Programs being provided include homework
assistance, computer education, sports and fitness, arts and crafts, leadership
programs and drug and alcohol prevention programs. Services are provided to youth
6-18 years of age from 2:009 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. The Committee recommends
$35,000 funding.
2
7. Community Child Care Center of Delray Beach: This is a United Way funded
agency. Approximately $75,000 will be provided from the CDBG Program for the
Village Academy programs they have taken over. Funding is requested for operating
costs to provide affordable, subsidized care to abused neglected, at risk children, low
income, working poor, legal refugee entrants and children of teen parents. Almost all
of their clients are Delray Beach residents. The Committee recommends $25,000
funding.
8. Deaf Service Center: This is a United Way funded agency whose services are not
duplicated by another agency. Funding is requested for telephone equipment
distribution, client assistance, client education, and resource connection information
services of the 39,000 participants in their program, 4,000 are from Delray Beach.
The Committee recommends $2,000 funding.
9. Delray Beach Historical Society: Funds are being requested to cover the cabinets
in the new bungalow for archive storage. This application was incomplete. The
Committee recommends $-0- funding.
10. Drug Abuse Foundation of Palm Beach County: This is a United Way funded
organization. Funding is requested to supplement other services for the Adult and
Adolescent Outpatient Program as well as Residential Treatment Programs.
Approximately 28% of their beneficiaries are Delray Beach residents. Funding in the
amount of $35,000 is distributed via the Chris Evert Charities which will be funded in
the stadium budget. The Committee felt this organization provides a valuable service
to the City. The Committee recommends $5,000 funding.
11. Epoch: The City received two proposals from EPOCH. The original funding
application was received in the required submittal time for $50,000 and a second
more detailed proposal for $90,000 was received at a later date. The total proposal
budget for next year in both proposals was $486,139. This budget however is based
on additional facilities being built and adding programs and staff to accommodate this
expansion. Of the total budget $93,200 is requested for the expansion and $85,721 is
requested to increase the base budget by 10% for FY 05 plus additional staff. The
Committee felt it was unrealistic to expect the expansion project to be completed
before the next fiscal year since formal plans have not yet been submitted for City
review. In addition we felt a request to increase this year's budget by 10% and add
staff was also unrealistic. The Committee reviewed their FY 03-04 budget and felt a
reasonable increase of 4-5% could be justified. We also noted that EPOCH has been
selected to receive a TDC grant of $10,538 for their kids cultural club in next year's
budget year. Funding has been requested to support operating costs for the museum,
second phase of the kids cultural club and as previously stated for the expansion. The
Committee did not feel comfortable in recommending an increase in funding at this
time. We also felt there was some duplication of services being provided by other
organizations. The Committee recommends $30,000 funding.
12. Friends of Sandoway House: This organization operates their programs on
property the City leases from the County and provides unique programming geared to
youth. They reported over 10,000 visitors to the site in the last year. Of this total
approximately 75% are Delray Beach residents. The operating budget is only
· $113,820 and they receive no other governmental funding. Staff recommendation
exceeds the 15% guideline but we felt due to their small budget and funding sources
that our contribution should exceed this limit. The Committee recommends $20,000
funding.
3
13. Community Neighbor Helping, Inc.: Funding was requested for programming
but was not specific. In addition the application was incomplete. The Committee
recommends $-0- funding.
14. Joint Venture (Fireworks): Funding is requested to offset the costs of the fireworks
display on the 4th of July. By agreement with the Joint Venture the City is committed
to this level of funding through 2005. The Joint Venture is responsible for
contracting with the fireworks company, fund-raising and promoting the event.
Actual costs for the show, barrage and docking fees is about $70,000. The
Committee recommends $40,000 funding.
15. Mae Volen Senior Center: This organization is funding by United Way which
increased from last year. They service approximately 2,300 Delray Beach residents
of the total of 6,400. Funding is requested to primarily offset costs for the
transportation program. They do not have a specific stipend for Delray Beach.
Approximately 35% of their budget is spent in Delray Beach. The City of Boca
Raton also contributes approximately $30,000 per year to this group. The Committee
recommends $6,000 funding.
16. Museum of Lifestyle and Fashion History: Funding has been requested to
offset costs for their education exhibits and programs. Although they have developed
partnerships with the Library and Community Child Care Center developing
programs in storytelling and, arts and crafts the Committee did not feel there was
adequate information provided in the application. Missing was performance and
visitor information. The Committee recommends $-0- funding.
17. Roots Cultural Festival, Inc.: Although we only received a letter request (not
complete application) for funding after the deadline, the Committee felt that due to
the long positive history of contributions to the City made by Roots that an exception
should be considered. Roots now operate programs about 9 months per year focusing
on youth education, and arts and crafts programs as well as their classical series. The
programs offered by this group do meet the Commission goal of "Community Unity".
Funding was requested to support the organizations operating costs and not the final
event weekend. Funds were requested as follows:
~ 50% Office rent and utilities $3,000
~' 50% Telephone/fax $900
>' 360 hrs. Program Coordinator $9,000
~ 360 hrs. Marketing/Advertising $9,000
~ 1,048 hrs. Clerical support $10,480
The Committee felt consideration be given to fund office rent, telephone, and clerical
support. The Committee recommends $15,000 funding.
18. The Omega Joshua Generation Counseling Services, Inc.: In addition to
submitting an incomplete application the Committee felt the services they proposed to
provide are duplicated by other agencies. Funding was requested for equipment to set
up a computer lab to offer educational support for youth. The Committee
recommends $-0- funding.
19. Palm Beach County School Readiness Coalition, Inc.: This organization took
over the programs and responsibilities previously administered by the Palm Beach
County School District. Funding is requested to subsidize care for children of the
working poor. Most of their funding comes from Federal Funds, but requires a 6%
local match. They also however receive funding from Palm Beach County and
Children's Services Council which accounts for approximately two thirds of the local
match requirement. They propose to assist 169 Delray Beach children and based on
the match have requested $47,834. However because other County organizations
account for two thirds of the local match the Committee is only recommending
funding to offset the other third of the match. The Committee recommends $16,000
funding.
20. Urban League: This organization is funded by United Way and will receive
$15,000 from the City's CDBG Program which is an increase from last year's
contribution. Funding is requested to augment the costs of a Housing Counselor.
They provide assistance to 41 Delray Beach residents. Since CDBG funding has been
increased the Committee felt grant funding would be reduced. The Committee
recommends $3,000 funding.
21. Wayside Itouse: This is a United Way funded organization. Funds are
requested to offset costs for long term substance abuse for indigent females primarily
for medical and psychiatrist services. Approximately 80% of their clients are Delray
Beach residents. The Committee recommends $5,000 funding.
22. Contingency: The proposed contingency is $26,590 which the Committee felt
could be used for training for capacity building for various organizations. Mr. Taylor
has been in touch with the Non-Profit Resource Institute at the Community
Foundation and has begun discussions on types of training programs that they could
provide.

DATE: September 29, 2004
SUBJECT: Community Development Division Housing Rehabilitation Grant Award
ITEM BEFORE THE COMMISSION
Approval is requested for two (2) Housing Rehabilitation grant awards to the lowest responsive
bidder(s). This request is in accordance with the City's Community Development Division's
approved Policies and Procedures.
BACKGROUND
The grant awards are based on the actual cost of the rehabilitation, as determined by the low
responsive bidder(s), plus a 5% contingency. The contingency may be used for change orders
and all unused funds will remain with the Housing Rehabilitation grant program.
Inspection of work is done by the Department of Community Improvement's Building Inspection
and Community Development Division. 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 Community Development
Division Office.
The Community Development Division is responsible for ensuring that the housing
rehabilitation contracts are awarded to the lowest responsible bidder, as a result of a formal bid
process. Therefore, an in-house policy was created to limit awards to the lowest responsible
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. This
policy further assists the Division with its goals of completing each rehabilitation activity
utilizing the estimated amount of funding required.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends awarding the bid for two (2) Housing Rehabilitation projects to the verified
responsible low bidder(s) and authorize awards in the following amount:

be permitted by the Police Chief or his designee to swap an
unlimited, but reasonable, number of shifts during the contract

the bargaining unit as a result of such swapping of shifts,
notwithstanding the provisions as set forth in Article 9 of this
contract. Ail such swapping of shifts must be completed within
a six (6) month period of time. Ail such swapping shall be
purely voluntary on the employee's part and shall be solely for

overtime shall be paid as a result of such shift swapping.
Section 2
A PBA Bargaining Unit Time Pool shall be established on the

straight hours of vacation leave, holiday option time, or
compensatory time, to be determined by the employee on how they

to the pool when a member has no available hours for the
contribution. When a member accumulates appropriate leave time
after the annual deduction, the payroll clerk will deduct three
(3) straight hours of leave time from vacation leave, holiday
option time, or compensatory time bank as soon as hours have
been accrued.
Section 3
The Bargaining Unit Time Pool will be charged for all hours
during which an elected or appointed PBA official is on an on-
duty release to conduct PBA business.

Ail requests for the use of the Bargaining Unit Time Pool
shall be submitted by the lead representative of the association
or his/her designate to the Chief of Police or his authorized
designate at least three (3) calendar days in advance of the

PBA officials creates insufficient manpower to maintain
efficiency of operations within the Police Department.

of on-duty time to prepare and assist bargaining unit members in

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.
20
CITY OF DELRAY BEACH & POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION CONTRACT 2004-2007
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-a-
half 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 or
holidays 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
individual employee shall be provided by the City for
acknowledgment by the employee.
21
CITY OF DELRAY BEACH & POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION CONTRACT 2004-2007
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.
In cases where the Call-Out is outside regular working
hours as scheduled, and where such Call-Out is for appearance at
the South County Courthouse or for ongoing standing department
committee meetings, within the Delray Beach City limits, the
minimum shall be two (2) hours pay, payable at the overtime rate
if applicable.
Section 8
Officers and Sergeants working 11.5 hour schedules work a
total of 80.5 hours within each 80 hour pay period. Every
employee under this deployment schedule will be given off ~ hour
every pay period.
22
CITY OF DELRAY BEACH & POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION CONTRACT 2004-2007
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 maybe 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
23
CITY OF DELRAY BEACH & POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION CONTRACT 2004-2007
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.
24
CITY OF DELRAY BEACH & POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION CONTRACT 2004-2007
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.
25
CITY OF DELRAY BEACH & POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION CONTRACT 2004-2007
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 l0
An employee who is temporarily and continuously assigned by
the proper authority to perform the duties of a higher
classification for more than his/her normal work-week, 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.

and binding arbitrator.

ARTICLE 30
COMPREHENSIVE ALCOHOL AND DRUO 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.
73
CITY OF DELRAY BEACH & POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION CONTRACT 2004-2007
C. Illegal drugs means any controlled substance as
defined in Section 893.03, Florida Statutes, as amended from

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. Ail 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.
74
CITY OF DELRAY BEACH & POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION CONTRACT 2004-2007
D. Ail 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.
Fo 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
75
CITY OF DELRAY BEACH & POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION CONTRACT 2004-2007
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. 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.
I. 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
76
CITY OF DELRAY BEACH & POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION CONTRACT 2004-2007
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
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,
77
CITY OF DELRAY BEACH & POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION CONTRACT 2004-2007
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
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
78
CITY OF DELRAY BEACH & POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION CONTRACT 2004-2007
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.

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
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.

officer.
3.0 NOTICE OF DISCIPLINARY ACTION. No dismissal, demotion,
transfer, reassignment, or other personnel action, which
might result in loss of wages or benefits or which might

93
CITY OF DELRAY BEACH & POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION CONTRACT 2004-2007
Department, the result of which could lead to a
disciplinary action against said employee, the following
procedure should be followed:
a. When the City receives a complaint, internal affairs
or a supervisor as designed by the Chief of Police or
his/her designee shall investigate the complaint as an
IA investigation or a supervisor's review as
determined by the Chief of Police or his/her designee
and interview the subject of the complaint. At the
outset of the interview, the employee, the employee's
legal counsel or any other representative of his or
her choice, may request a copy of this Article 34 and
then be permitted time to read same, so that no
questions will arise as to the knowledge of the
employee under investigation of those rights set forth
therein. The employee who is subject to the
complaint, along with legal counsel or any other
representative of the employee's choice, may review
the complaint and all statements regardless of form,
made by the complainant and witnesses immediately
prior to the beginning of the investigative review.
If there is the possibility of criminal charges, the

standard Miranda warnings. Additionally, except under
94
CITY OF DELRAY BEACH & POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION CONTRACT 2004-2007
emergency circumstances, the employee shall be noticed
in writing at least 24 hours in advance of the time
and date of his/her interview, unless other mutually
acceptable arrangements are made to waive this time
requirement. The written notice to the employee
should state the fact that he/she is entitled to have
an attorney or representative at said interview, whose
sole purpose is to advise the employee of his/her
legal rights, and not to interfere in said interview
process. The interview shall be recorded, and a
transcript made thereof. Also, the employee shall
have the right to read and initial this transcript and
note any differences or errors in the margins.

necessary, including requesting the use of
interrogative or interview-type polygraph examinations
of all parties.
c. Upon concluding his investigation into the matter, the
investigating officer shall make a written summary of
the findings of his/her investigation. This summary
shall be presented to the Chief of Police for review.
Additionally, the investigating officer should have a
95

matter more thoroughly.
d. After the Chief of Police has reviewed and evaluated
the investigation by the investigating officer, the
Chief of Police may submit the report to one of his
division commanders for further review and
recommendations as to possible further investigation.
After the division commander returns the report to the
Chief of Police (or after the Chief's evaluation, if
this procedure is not used), the Chief shall make a
preliminary decision as to whether the employee's
conduct could warrant disciplinary action being taken
against the employee(s) complained against. At this
point, the aggrieved employee shall be given written
notice to report to the Chief's office (preferably for
the following day and during his on-duty hours), and
this meeting shall also be recorded. When the
employee reports to the Chief, he or she may have a
representative or an attorney present. The attorney
or representative at the close of the hearing shall be
entitled to make a statement or direct further
questions to the employee for clarification purposes,
but shall not be entitled to direct questions to the
Police Chief. The Chief shall inform the employee
96
CITY OF DELRAY BEACH & POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION CONTRACT 2004-2007
that he has reviewed the complaint and that
disciplinary action is or is not warranted. If the
Chief does intend to discipline or recommend
discipline against the employee, the Chief shall
inform the employee of the disciplinary action he will
take/recommend to the City Manager.
e. After being informed of the recommended disciplinary
action and prior to the time the recommendation is
made by the Chief to the City Manager, the employee(s)
involved shall be given the opportunity to agree or
disagree with the discipline recommended. If the
employee disagrees with the discipline recommended,
he/she can request a hearing before the City Manager.
In appropriate circumstances, the employee may request
the convening of a complaint review board.

investigative documents and evidence will become
public records and subject to inspection, except for

materials pertaining to an active criminal
investigation.

and to conduct "direct and cross-examinations".

permitted to call witnesses and to inquire of any witnesses
called by any party. All witnesses shall be placed under

fact shall be included in this report.

Police shall be forwarded to the City Manager for his
review, in accordance with City procedures.

records. If the discipline imposed is more
severe than that previously imposed upon
employees who have committed the same or a
similar offense under the same or similar
circumstances, and who have similar
disciplinary and employment records, whether
the City notified employees of the change in
121
CITY OF DELRAY BEACH & POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION CONTRACT 2004-2007
disciplinary policy prior to the occurrence
of the act being disciplined;
(d) whether the City has demonstrated upon the
record that it has considered the severity
of the punishment with regard to the nature
and severity of the offense, the
circumstances under which the offense was
committed, the employee's past disciplinary
and employment record, the length of the
employee's tenure with the City, and whether
the employee was under probation at the time
the offense was committed;
(e) whether the City has demonstrated upon the
record that the degree of punishment which
it has imposed was not selected at random or
without reason (arbitrary), and that the
degree of punishment did not arise from
caprice (arbitrary);
(f) whether the City has demonstrated on the
record that the degree of punishment which
it has imposed is consistent in that it is
not apt to change suddenly or unpredictably
(capricious), and is not inconsistent
(capricious);
(g) whether the City has demonstrated on the
record that the degree of punishment which
it has imposed is within that range of
122

punishment for the offense under the given
circumstances upon which reasonable men can
agree, notwithstanding that reasonable men
might disagree upon the specific punishment
imposed under the given circumstances.
If the arbitrator finds that the City has complied
with (a) through (g), the discipline determined by the
City shall be upheld. However, if the arbitrator
finds that the City has not complied with (a) through
(g), the arbitrator may determine the appropriate
level of penalty.

SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM # e~l~ - REGULAR MEETING OF OCTOBER 5, 2004
CONTRACT AWARDS/PROPERTY & CASUALTY INSURANCE
COVERAGE
DATE: OCTOBER 1, 2004
This is before the City Commission to consider approval of a contract award to various insurance
companies as negotiated by our broker, Arthur J. Gallagher, for the City's Property and Casualty
Insurance Policies effective October 1, 2004 at the annual premium of $1,316,649.00.
Risk Management has bound the Cit3"s Property & Casualty Renewal Insurance Program for the
October 1, 2004-05 policy, year. Our insurance broker, Arthur J. Gallagher & Co., was able to keep
the total premium under budget, even though the total insurable values increased by 14%, and while
maintaining the current broad scope of insurance coverage. The total cost of the insurance program
is $1,316,649, or $62,221 under that which was budgeted.
Property Insurance. The City's $89 million in total insurable values will continue to be insured
under a "layered" insurance program. Three insurers will provide excess insurance above a $1
million in primary coverage.
General/Auto Liability Insurance. The City will be covered under two polices of insurance for
general and auto liabilities up to a $5 million limit.
Workers' Compensation Insurance. The City is covered for worker's compensation under a single
insurance policy which provides benefits to employees injured on-the-job as required by State
statute.
This insurance, and including excess crime, boiler & machinery, police & firefighters statutory
accidental death, and claims administration services is explained in the attached 9/27/04 memo
from Risk Management to the City Manager, and in the attached 9/21/04 "Proposal 2004-2005
Report" from our insurance broker, Arthur J. Gallagher & Co.
Recommend approval of a contract award to various insurance companies as negotiated by our

R~ ~nual Renewal of Pro~ and Casual~ Insurance Programs
On August 31, 2004, Joe Safford, Finance Director, Harry Hamilton, Human Resources Director, and I
met with representatives from our insurance broker, Arthur J. Gallagher & Company, to review their
proposal for the October 1, 2004 renewal of the City's property and casualty insurance programs. The
proposal provided for the same broad scope of insurance coverages as the current programs. The
proposed premiums were within estimated budget, even though the total insured values (TIV), e.g.,
buildings, contents, vehicles, etc., increased from $78MM last year to $89MM reflecting a recalculation
of specific building/contents valuation. At that time, the broker believed a lower premium still could be
negotiated with the two major insurers. As it turned out, they were fight. In addition, at the advice of
the broker, the excess property package was "bound" that week due to a concern that Hurricane
Frances' impact in Florida could result in the underwriter "pulling" the quote in it's aftermath.
The attached proposal booklet from Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. provides the details of this insurance
renewal and can be used as a reference. This cover memo will discuss the individual insurance
coverages and comment on issues considered significant to your understanding of the insurance
programs and this renewal.
State National Insurance Company (Tab 2). This insurer provides total, statutory workers'
compensation insurance coverage for the City (e.g., no excess insurance is needed). The City has a
$500,000 per claim self-insured retention (SIR), which is not uncommon for a City our size. Through
this financially sound insurer, our broker has been able to provide reasonably priced coverage for the
second successive year. In addition, this insurer provides basic liability insurance coverage. After a
$500,000 SIR, the limit of insurance coverage is $1 million per each occurrence but no more than $2
million in any one policy year (called the "aggregate"). The broker negotiated a final $299,000
premium, after the insureCs initial proposal of $302,000; the budgeted premium is $322,000. The
current expiring premium is $280,000.
Princeton Excess & Surplus Lines Insurance Company, PESLIC (Tab 3). This insurer provides pdmary
property dama.qe insurance up to $1 million per occurrence and also broad excess liability insurance
with limits of $5 million per each occurrence. The property insurance SIR's are $75,000 per
occurrence, except for hurricanes which are $500,000 per occurrence. The liability coverage provides
excess insurance over the "basic" Safety National policy, but also includes a "broader" scope of
coverage, called "difference in conditions" insurance, which provides excess insurance after a $1
million SIR. The broker negotiated a final $430,000, after the insurer's initial proposal of $472,000; the
budgeted premium is $443,300. The current expidng premium is $403000.
David Harden, September 27, 2004, Page 2
Excess Property Insurance {'Tab 4). Three insurers provide "layered" excess property insurance:
Lexington Insurance Company provides the first layer ($4 million excess of a $1 million SIR); Essex
Surplus Lines Insurance provides the second layer ($5 million excess of $5 million SIR); Landmark
American Surplus Lines Insurance Company provides the third layer (TIV limit of $79.8 million excess
of $10 million). The total premium is $435,834 compared to a budgeted premium of $451,000. The
current expiring premium is $451,012.
Excess Cdme (Employee Dishonesty) Insurance (Tab 5). This insurance is effectively blanket bond
coverage for employee dishonesty, including Finance Director and Treasurer, and is provided through
Hartford Insurance Company. The total premium is $3,457 which is the same as the expiring.
Boiler & Machinery Insurance (Tab 7). This insurance covers damages not covered by property
insurance (pumps, air conditioning units, etc.) and is provided through Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection
& Insurance Company. The total premium is $10,089; expidng at $9,106.
Police & Firefi.qhters Statutory Accidental Death Insurance (Tab 8). This insurance covers in-the-line-
of-duty accidental death and dismemberment as required by State statute and is provided through
Harford Life Insurance Company. The premium, paid by the respective departments, is for a three year
policy premium of $39,227, paid in annual installments of $13,076. The expidng annual installment is
$11,886.
Galla,qher Bassett Services Inc. This company has been the City's "third party claims administrator" for
many years and has been responsive to the City's needs. They work closely with, and take direction
from the City Attorney and Risk Management Division on matter pertaining to liability and workers'
compensation claims, respectively. They provide professional opinion, formal claims administration
services and claims payment services and documentation. The $125,193 fee is the annual installment
for a three year pedod, which guarantees a rate increase over the next two years of only 5 1/2/%. The
expiring annual fee is $118,773.
Summary. Attached is a spreadsheet summary of the current, budgeted and expiring premiums. The
total cost for the property and casualty renewal insurance and service programs is $1,316,649, or
$62,221 under that which was budgeted.
We recommend that these insurance coverages be accepted as proposed. If this recommendation
meets with your approval, we request that this information be forwarded to the City Commission for final
approval at the October 5, 2004 City Commission meeting.

AJG & CO. AND THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH- PARTNERS IN RISK MANAGEMENT
October 1, 2004 marks the 23rd anniversary of the City's Protected Self-Insured Risk Management
Program. The City's program is a dynamic and ever-changing "work in progress." Last year, we
made significant modifications to the program and included the State National Insurance Package
policy. The Third Party Liability Coverage offered by State National and the Premier Public Entity
Package (PESLIC), are not written on a "follow form" basis. We have therefore designed the
program so that the PESLIC Package, which offers broader coverage than the State National Policy
will work as both Difference In Conditions and an Excess policy to the State National Package. In
cases where State National Coverage applies, the PESLIC policy will respond as excess of State
National. In cases where coverage is .not included by State National, but is included in the PESLIC
Package, such as EMT Liability, or if the State National Limits are exhausted, the Premier Public
Entity package will apply on a primary basis with a $1,000,000 SIR.

THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH
PROTECTED SELF-INSURANCE PROGRAM
PROPOSAL 2004 - 2005
We are pleased by the success of the City's Protected Self-Insurance Program. By adopting and
managing this program, the City has maximized its cash fiow and retained control over its claims
management. The City of Delray Beach is in a preferential position among Florida Cities of similar
size and exposure. Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. and the City of Delray Beach enjoy a relationship that
started in 1982 when the Risk Management Program was created. Gallagher is proud to be a part of
the success of the City's Risk Management Program. A program that provides:
,/ Broader protection and benefits through a unified program of expanded coverages
for all property and casualty exposures.
,/ Greater risk retention ability because of the spread of risk and the operation of the
law of large numbers.
,/ Continuity of coverage. Your Excess Insurance Program has in the past and
continues to withstand the test of time through the test of affordability and
availability of protection.
,/ Safety and loss prevention plan which stresses targeted subject risk management
centered on your needs in addition to inspection physical facilities.
,/ Cash flow investments to reduce cost.
· / Greater control over claims.

How THE MARKET VIEWS THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH:
o:. The City's Expiring program is both comprehensive and competitive.
o:. Stabilization in Claims: The City's claims experience continues to remain stable.
We are very pleased with this year's market negotiations. These renewal offerings reflect that the
City's Risk Management program is working very effectively. It has enabled us to maintain stability
in both premium and retention levels for the 2004-2005 insurance term. Although there are some
An overview of this year's market negotiations is as follows:
· :o PESLIC Package - despite substantial exposure increases in the areas of property,
number of employees and Gross Operating Expenditures, (average 45% increase in
exposures) we are very pleased to report that the increase in the package premium is
a very moderate 6.7%, which in effect reflects a substantial decrease in the overall
package rate. Even considering only the 12.4% increase in property values, the rate
reduction in the package would be 5.7%.
· :. State National Casualty Package- Like the PESLIC Package, the 6.8% increase in the State National package is in fact a rate reduction from the expiring.
· :o Excess Property Program-The City's Total Insurable Values increased by 12.4%
for this renewal. We are pleased to report that despite this increase the total renewal
premium was reduced by 3.4% resulting in an overall excess property rate reduction
of over 15.8%.
· :. Excess Crime - the current policy is a multi-year policy with annual anniversaries
and there is thus no change in the renewal premium despite a 10% increase in the
number of employees.
o:. Accidental Death & Dismemberment - this policy reflects a 10% increase in
premium, which is comparable to the 10% increase in the City's number of
employees. There are 27 more covered employees for this renewal than there were
last year.
· :- Boiler & Machinery- the City's Boiler & Machinery premium increased by 10.8%
this year, this is effectively a reduction of 1.6% in the policy rate.
In summary, despite significant increases in the City's exposures to almost 45%, the overall program
cost increased a moderate 2.8%. The net result is an approximate 42% reduction in the overall
program cost. This is evidence that the City's risk management program is a success since the cost
of risk is decreasing as the City's exposures continue to increase.

Lakeview Rate Philosophy
The general philosophy' of Lakeview Golf Club is to serve the public with a first class golf experience at
affordable rates, and offer all City' of Delray Beach Residents discounts on golf fees. Our system has
ma~mized the number of rounds, while keeping fantastic conditions on the course and having very high
customer satisfaction. This has led to solid revenue, and has reciprocal value to our sister Delray Beach
facilities. As more people play at Lakeview, they- learn about special offers and upcoming events at Delray
Beach Golf Club and Delray Beach Tennis Center, which leads to more memberships, merchandise sales,
food & beverage revenue, and ex~posure to our banquet facilities. In addition, we have found that every
round at Lakeview amounts to approxim~ately $1.00 in additional revenue (Food & Beverage and/or
Merchandise).
At Lakeview: we have three seasons: first is the "shoulder" (mid-November to mid-December); followed
by "season" (mid-December to mid-April); and £mally "sammer~: (mid-April to mid-November). The dates
of these seasons vary from year to year by' a few days, as we often begin a new rate period on a weekend.
The shoulder season has rates that range between our summer rates and our season rates. Our experience
has taught us that having this season is an effective way of capturing the business of "snow birds", who
have just arrived in Florida. Once they have played our course, and become comfortable with our playing
conditions and staff, they, will continue to play with us throughout thc "season" at the higher rates.
The proposed "maximum' rates at Lakeview have been put together based on the following criteria:
· Review of competitive mazket
· Past experience
· Review of rate increases from previous years
· Survey results / comments
· Feedback from League Officers
Please note that the term "actual" rate differs from thc term "maximum" rate. It has been the policy.' of the
City of Dclray Beach Commissioners to approve thc ~maximum" rate for the golf course. This gives the
management company' latitude to adjust the actual rates during the season in case of fluctuations in world
economy, market conditions; course conditions, and adversc weather or terrorist attacks that may affect
tourism. As a general rulc, we tend to keep the "actual" rates very close to thc "maximum" rates.
Lakevicw is a tmique course, because of several factors:
1) Leagues: The revenue and rounds for Lakevicw are drivenby league play. These leagues are
x:e~~ price sensitive and always complain about rate increases. Many' lcague players also play at
Lakevicw throughout the year outside of their league. Last year? due to a minor price increase, the
Lakcvicw Men's Golf Association (110 members) threatened to move their business to Sherwood
Park. They- voted as an association and decided to stay', and arc now very happy' with thc course.
2) Age: The average age of the regular golfers at Lakeview (other than our Junior Golf League
members) is nearly 70 years of age. These customers are typically not wealthy country club
members, and are extremely price conscious. When we changed thc cost of domestic beer from
$2.00 per can to $2.25, there was a very strong negative rcaction.

3) Competitive landscape: When we do an anals~is of the competitive market for Lakeview, we
always include Boca Raton Executive and Red Reef Park on the spreadsheet. However, the two
main competitors to Lakeview have always been Sherwood Park and Marina Lakes, as they are
both located within four miles of Lakeview, and cater to the exact same clientele. Last year,
Marina Lakes closed and expanded to a par-67 course and has become a semi-private COurse. In
2005, our biggest competitor is Sherwood, which is less than 2 miles away off of Altantic Avenue,
between Congress and MilitaD/Trail. In addition, Boca Executive Country Club, near the
Boca/Delray Beach border, offers extremely comparable rates to ours. While we monitor the rotes
of the Boca Executive course, we pay particular attention to the rotes at Sherwood. As of
September 23. 2004, Sherwood Park had still not released their fall or winter rates for 2005.
We have enclosed copies of:
· Proposed "maximum" rates for 2004-2005
· Competitive survey for 2003-2004
Please note that the survey is for the previous ):ear, as all of the competitive courses stax, eyed have not yet
determined their rates for the "shoulder", "season" and "summer" of 2004/2005. The dates of these
surveys vao' from year to year, as the surveys take a snapshot of a similar season that may fall on
different dates.
We have carefully scrutinized our rates and are confident that our proposed maximum rates, which give us
the flexibility of raising actual rates up to 5%, v~411 not cause us to lose customers. However, by raising
rates above and beyond these figures, we are certain to lose a solid number of leagues to our competition.
For fiscal year 2004-2005, we anticipate Lakeview to total roughly 54,000 rounds, with an average rate of
roughly $16.00 per round. We estimate that leagues make up nearly 25% of our annual rounds, or 13,500
rounds from league pl~T. In addition, many league members pl~~ outside of the league with their families
and friends. By raising rates an additional $1.00 above and beyond the 3-5% raises in rates for 2005, we
are confident that we would lose nearly 4,000 rounds of league play (30%) as well as 4,000 rounds of non-
league play (8% of the remaining 50,000 rounds of non-league play). This would equal a total of 8,000
rounds lost.
The approximate loss of revenue would be as follows:
54,000 rounds X $16.00 (average rate) = $866,000 (as per budget for 2005) - these figures include the 3-
5% raise in rates for 2005.
By raising rates an additional $1.00 per round (6.3% above the proposed raises in rates), we can assume:
46,000 rounds (54,000 minus the 8,000 lost by the rate increase) X $17.00 (average rate) = $782,000.
The difference would be $84,000 in lost golf revenue and a loss of goodwill with our customers. In
addition, we would also lose the approximate $1.00 per round for Food & Beverage and Merchandise,
totaling $8,000 in lost revenue. Thus, the total would be $92,000 in lost revenue. Raising rates to this
extreme would not only lose rounds and revenue to the competition, but would also negatively impact our
best form of marketing, word of mouth.

Delray Beach Golf Club Rate Philosophy
The general philosophy- of Delray Beach Golf Club is to serve the public a first class golf experience, and
offer all City of Delray Beach Residents discounts on golf fees. It is our belief that the club should balance
a high volume of play, which satisfies a large segment of our golfer population, with the need to maintain
our golf course at a high standard. This has led to solid revenue, and has reciprocal value to our sister
Delray Beach facilities. As more people play at Delray Beach Golf Club, they learn about special offers
and upcoming events at Lakeview Golf Club and Delray Beach Tennis Center, ~vhich leads to more
memberships, merchandise, food & beverage revenue, and exposure to our banquet facilities. In addition,
we have found that eve~' round played at Delray Beach Golf Club generates approximately $5.00 in
additional revenue ($2.00 in Food & Beverage/Bar/Beverage Can, $1.00 in Driving Range, and $2.00 in
Merchandise).
At Delray Beach Golf Club, we have three seasons: first is the "shoulder" (mid-November to mid-
December); followed by "season" (mid-December to mid-April); and finally "summer" (mid-April to mid-
November). The dates of these seasons var), from year to year by a few days, as we often begin a new rate
period on a weekend. The shoulder season has rotes that range between our summer rotes and our season
rotes. Our experience has taught us that having this season is an effective way of capturing the business of
"snow birds", who have just arrived in Florida. Once the)' have played our course, and become
comfortable with our playing conditions and staff, the)' will continue to pl~' with us throughout the
"season" at the higher rotes.
For FY 2003-2004, we budgeted 87,000 rounds at an average golf rate of $19.00. Our budget for FY
2004-2005 calls for 87,600 rounds 0ess than 1% increase in rounds over pre,,4ons year's budget) at an
average golf rate of $20.67 (8.8% increase over previous year's budget). These numbers exclude
annual permits.
The proposed "maximum" rates at Delmy Beach Golf Club have been put together based on the following
criteria:
· History of rounds
· Review of rate increases from previous years
· Review of competitive market
Please note that the term "actual" rate differs from the term "maximum" rate. It has been the policy of the
City of Delray Beach Commissioners to approve the "maximum" rate for the golf course. This gives the
management company latitude to adjust the actual rates during the year in case of fluctuations in world
economy, market conditions, course conditions, and adverse weather or terrorist attacks that may affect
tourism. As a general nde, vve tend to keep the "actual" rates veD~ close to the "maximum" rates.
In FY 2003-2004, this was the case for our Resident & County rates during each season, but for the Non-
Resident rates, our actual rates were well below the maximum rates. This was due to our review of the
rounds throughout the year. For year-end September 2002, 7.4% of our total rounds were Non-Resident
rounds. For year-end September 2003, this number dropped to 7.1%. As of August 31, 2004, this number
dropped again to 3.9%.

Dubin & Associates
Although the proposed maximum rates reflect fiat-to-negative decreases in Non-Resident maximums,
we still plan to raise actual rates from the previous year by 7.5-10% throughout the entire year, thus
getting the "actual" rate closer to the "maximum" rate.
Our proposed maximum rates for City of Dclray Residents reflects a modest increase, which is vc~' much
in line with other municipal golf courses in Palm Beach County.
We have carefully scrutinized our rates and are confident that our proposed maximum rates, which give us
thc flexibility of raising actual rates up to 10%, will not cause us to lose customers. However, by raising
rates above and beyond these figures, we are certain to lose customers to our competition.
For fiscal year 2004-2005, wc anticipate Delray Beach Golf Club to total roughly 87,600, with an average
rate of roughly $20.67 (8.8% overall increase over previous year's budgeted actual rate average) for a total
of roughly $1,810,600 in golf round revenue, excluding annual permits. This includes projected raises in
"actual" rates of approximately $2.00 per round for Delray Beach City Residents, raises of approximately
$2.50-$5.00 for Palm Beach County Residents and Non-Residents. Wc believe that a comparison of rates
to our competition in the attached survey justifies these increases.
By raising actual rates an additional 5%, we estimate that we will lose approximately 7,500 rounds (8.6%
of total rounds):
.. 80;'100 rounds (87,600 minus the %500 rounds lost by the rate increase) X $21.75 (new rate average) =
$1,742A75.
.. The dflTerence would be $68,425 ($1,810,600 - $1,742,175) in lost golf revenue, and a loss of goodwill
with our customers. In addition, we would lose thc approximate $5.00 per round for Food & Beverage~
Driving Range, and Merchandise, totaling $37,500. Thus, the total lost revenne would potentially be
$105,925. Raising rates to this extreme would not only lose rounds and revenue to thc competitio~ but
would also negatively impact our best form of marketing, word-of-mouth.
Annual Permits (Pre-paid greens fees): Our budget calls for maintaining approximately 190 annual permit
holders to total roughly $255,000 in revenue. Wc believe that it is important to balance thc needs of our
golfers who purchase permits (pre-paid greens fees) with the need of our City to have sufficient tee times
available for City- and County residents and tourists. Our budget anticipates that annual permit rounds will
approximate 24% of the total annual rounds (21,900 rounds).
We have enclosed copies of:
· Proposed "maximum" rates for 2004-2005
· Competitive survey for 2003-2004
· Actual rounds breakdown for year-end 2002 vs. 2003
· Actual round breakdown for year-end 2004 (up to August 31, 2004)
Please note that thc survey is for thc previous year, as ail of the competitive courses surveyed have not yet
determined their rates for the "shoulder', "season" and "summer" of 2004/2005. The dates of these
surveys vao' from year to year, as the surveys take a snapshot of a similar season that may fall on
different dates.
In sunnnmT, we anticipate that the proposed maxinmm rate structure will allow the management team the
opportunity to meet or exceed our budgeted rounds and revenues, as well as the flexibility to increase
actual rates in line with our competition, if necessary.

Delray Beach Tennis Center Rate Philosophy
The general philosophy of the Delray Beach Tennis Center is to serve the public a first-class tennis
experience, and to offer affordable tennis to a wide segment of our tennis population. Our rate structures
offer discounts for Cie' of Delray Beach Residents. In addition, we offer further rate reductions if people
pla)' in the afternoon or on our hard courts. It is our belief that the club should balance a high volume of
play with the need to maintain the courts at a high standard. As more people play at the Delmy Beach
Tenms Center, they learn about special offers and upcoming events at Lakeview Golf Club and Delray
Beach Golf Club. In addition, the)' will also become involved in our lesson programs, which will benefit
both the teaching pros and the City. of Delray Beach with incremental revenue.
At Delray Beach Tennis Center, we have two seasons: "Season" (November 1 - April 30) and "Summer"
(May 1 - October 31). We offer either an annual membership, or a summer membership to promote play
off-season.
Our FY 2004-2005 budget anticipates that we will sell 426 memberships ($150,000 in revenue). This gives
us an average of $352 per member. In addition, our budget calls for us to generate approximately $86,000
in court fees and $250,000 in gross lesson income.
The proposed "maximum" rates at the Delray Beach Tennis Center have been put together based on the
following criteria:
History of plays
· Review of rate increases from previous years
· Review of the competitive market
Please note that the term "actual" rate differs from the term "maximum" rate. It has been the poli%' of the
City of Delray Beach Commissioners to approve the "maximum" rates for the Tennis Centers. This gives
the management company latitude to adjust the actual rates during the season in case of fluctuations in the
world economy, market conditions, course conditions, and a~:erse weather or terrorist attacks that may
affect tourism. As a general rule, other than lesson rates, the "actual" rates are the same as "maximum"
rates.
The Delray Beach Tennis Center is unique, because of several factors:
Lessons: We offer lesson programs for juniors, adults, men, women, and inner-city children -
these programs range in ability from beginner to advanced
Memberships: We offer incentives for people to become members by offering priority court
reservations, discounts on lessons and clinics, and discounts on special events and tournaments
· Leagues: All ladies participating in the South Palm Beach Count)' Women's Tennis Association
league must be members of our tennis center. Presently, we have approximately 125 ladies who
are members
· Competition: Although we track rates, plays and memberships for all of the competitive
municipal tennis centers in Palm Beach County, experience tells us that tennis players will not
drive more than 15 minutes for a tennis court or lesson

According to the attached rote survey, we find that the Delray Beach Tennis Center is at the high end for
Resident and Non-Resident rotes in all areas compared to other municipal tennis operations.
Although private tennis clubs are not direct competitors to the Delray Beach Tennis Center, it is'important
to note that some clubs allow Non-Resident single memberships for a fee between $700 and $1,500 per
annum. The Delray Beach Tennis Center is recognized as one of the finest municipal tennis centers in
South Florida. We believe that our proposed "maximum" rates are in hne with the quality of the courts and
services offered, and allow us to attain sufficient revenues to minimize our annual cash shortfall.
We have carefully scrutinized our rotes and are confident that our proposed maximum rates will not cause
us to lose memberships, court fees, or lesson revenue. It is our plan to raise the actual fees between 3-5%.
By raising actual rotes an additional 5%, we estimate that we will lose approximately 50 members (11%).
The ladies leagues would account for a large portion of these members:
426 members X $352 (average member rote with our budgeted increases of 3-5%) = $150,000
376 members (426 minus 50 lost members) X $370 (new average increased by an additional 5%) =
$139,120
The difference would be $10,880 in potential lost membership revenue ($150,000 - $139,120). In addition,
these members typically average one lesson or climc eveo' two weeks. This amounts to 1,300 total
lessons/clinics lost, at an average rate of $25.00 per (private lessons are $50, while chnics are $15). Thus,
we could potentially lose $32,500 in lost lesson revenue (13%). Thus, the total gross loss would be
$43,380. In addition, there would be some attrition from the daffy court fees and merchandise, but this
calculation would be extremely arbitral.
In sunmm~,, we are confident flint our proposed rotes are in line with our competition, ~vill promote
goodwill with our members and open players, and will allow us the opportunity to meet budget.

In Dec-03 the City posted $2,408 for commission on Coke products sold during last years'
International Tennis Championships. Per Becky O'Connor, the Coke commissions were coded to
Tennis Facility income because that is where commissions are budgeted.
Per Becky O'Connor, commissions for March-04 include $7,500 from Coca-Cola.
Membership is ($295) due to correcting a membership posted in July-04 that was for 04-05 FY.
Lights & Misc is ($208) because this is the line item that is used to post gift certificates against and
this month we had more gift certificates redeemed than misc sales.

OCTOBER 5, 2004 SPECIAL EVENT REQUEST -
CHRISTIAN RAP/HIP HOP CONCERT
ACTION
City Commission is requested to consider approval of a proposed Christian Rap/Hip Hop
Concert sponsored by the Outside the Walls Ministries, Inc. to be held at Pompey Park on
October 31, 2004 from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. and to approve a temporary use permit per
LDR'S Section 2.4.6(H) for the use of the park and staff assistance for security and
traffic control, trash removal and clean up, event signage and use and set up of the small
City stage.
BACK(tROUND
Attached is a letter, permit application, site plan, and budget for this event received from
Mr. William N. Griffin, Jr.
This request was reviewed by our departmental staff. Staff primary concerns include
limited parking and impacts of noise on the surrounding residential communities. In
addition, the Director of Parks and Recreation does not want to allow the placement of
vendors, amusement rides, bleachers or stage on the outfield grass.
Attached is a letter I sent to Mr. Griffin indicating that we did not feel Pompey Park was
a suitable location and suggested the Tennis Center or Old School Square. Mr. Griffin
still wanted to proceed to Commission level with this request but also indicated that he
would try to discuss his proposal with Mr. Dubin.
The estimated City costs for this event are $3,500 for staff overtime, $250 for stage rental
and $250 for signage. Per event policies and procedures the event sponsor would not be
required to pay for any of these costs.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends denial of this event request at Pompey Park. If however Commission
is inclined to approve the request we would recommend the following conditions:
1. Receipt of certificate of insurance and hold harmless agreement by 10/21/04
2. Relocation of all activities off the outfield area to an area agreed to by staff r'~
t1~) Pr, n~o-~.~,.~.~ THE EFFORT ALWAYS MATTERS ~ G
3. Receipt of letters of support from the Presidents of the Neighborhood
Associations around the Park

To Whom It May Concern:
On Sunday evening October 31, 2004, I will like to host a Christian Rap/Hip Hop
concert/festival at the Pompey Park Field. This will be a positive, family oriented, non
violent, non alcoholic event. This will be open to all ages, but my target group is the 13-
24. I'm aware of thc security concerns, thus I'm willing to pay the necessary costs to
secure this event. Included with this letter is the Special Events application that I need to
submit to use City Services, a copy of my acknowledgement letter from the IRS about my
501c (3) and a check payable of $100.00 to the City of Delray Beach. I'm also aware o£
other paperwork that I need to submit and I will send it to you, even my proposed budget
within 45 days prior to the event. Soon, I also will be contacting your office because I
have further questions about the Special Event application. Can you please contact me
with the exact fees like stage & concession stand usage so I could include the costs in my
budget? Finally, I also submitted the field usage application to the Parks and Recreation
Department. If you have any further questions, please feel free to call or e-mail me.

RE: Permit Request Christian Rap/Hip Hop Concert 10/31/04
Dear Mr. Griffin:
I apologize for not responding to your request sooner but with the two (2) hurricanes we've been through, I
have just recently received input from ali of our departments.
Based on this input we do not feel that Pompey Park is conducive for this event. First of all, this site is
surrounded by residential housing which could be negatively impacted by the event. In addition, parking is
very limited at the site, park rules do not allow bounce houses and/or other amusement type rides, and the
Parks and Recreation Director has indicated that we would not allow bleachers and vendors to be placed on
the outfield grass due to concerns of damage to the playing surface especially if it rains.
I would suggest possibly two (2) other locations one would be Old School Square and the other the Delray
Beach Tennis facility. You can check on the availability of the use of Old School Square by contacting Ms.
Peggy Murphy at 243-7922 ext. 301 and Mr. Brahm Dubin at 265-0255 for use of the tennis facilities.
Again I'm sorry I wasn't able to get this response to you sooner.
Sincerely,
Robert A. Barcinski

APPOINTMENT TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD ADVISORY COUNCIL
DATE: OCTOBER 1, 2004
Mr. Harvey Starin has forwarded his resignation from the Neighborhood Advisory Council

On September 9, 2003, Ordinance 27-03 establishing the Neighborhood Advisory Council for

Dear Janet,
After a great deal of thought I have concluded that my personal and professional
time constraints will not allow me to adequately perform my duties as a member
of the Neighborhood Advisory Council. Regrettably, I feel the only prudent thing
to do is to resign to allow someone else to take my place.
I think the work of the Council is important and the people I met on the council
were strongly committed to making a difference in our City and in the
neighborhoods in which we live. For me to continue with a less than complete
time commitment would not be fair to the others or to the underlying ideals of the
Council.
I wish to thank you for allowing me the opportunity to participate and wish you
and the rest of the Council members best of luck as you continue to pursue this
most worthy effort.

THROUGH: Joseph Safford, Finance Director
DATE: 09/3012004
SUBJECT: PURCHASE and INSTALLATION of AUDIONIDEO MONITORING SYSTEMS
FOR PD HOLDING FACILITY AND INVESTIGATIVE INTERVIEW ROOMS
Item Before Commission:
City Commission is requested to approve the purchase and installation of an audio/video monitoring
system for the holding facility and investigative interview rooms at the Police Department from Level
5 Security, Inc. The cost for equipment and installation is $36,295.00. The system will allow the
department to digital record the areas 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.
Back.qround:
From July 27, 2004 through July 29, 2004, the Police Department underwent an on-site assessment
from the Commission for Florida Law Enforcement Accreditation, Inc. The on-site team
recommended that the Police Department purchase an audio/video monitoring system for each
holding cell.
Three vendors provided proposals after review of the two areas (C.K.'s Security Systems, Inc,
Maximum Security & Alarm Systems, Inc. and Level 5 Security, Inc). After reviewing the proposals
and talking with other clients, the PD has ejected to purchase from Level 5 Security, Inc.
The proposal includes replacing the 8 existing analog black and white cameras located in the holding
facility with digital color cameras; none of the other quotes included this feature. This system will
allow future expansion of all other cameras located around our facility; none of the other vendors
made this claim.
Level 5 Security is currently installed in the City of Lake Worth Police Department and the Town of
Palm Beach Police Department. Both agencies are very satisfied with the equipment and level of
support received from Level 5 Security. Level 5 Security is a well established company and has the
resources to provide emergency response in a timely manner.
The department would also like to replace the antiquated, non-functional VHS recording system in
the Investigative Interview Rooms. Three proposals were received for this area as well (Your
Security Connection & Custom Electronics, Maximum Security & Alarm Systems, Inc and Level 5
Security, Inc). We are recommending Level 5 Security, Inc. This allows us to deal with one vendor
for multiple systems.
Funding, in the amount of $36,295.00, will be provided out of the Federal Forfeiture Account 115-
2112-521-49.90.
Recommendation:
The Police Department is recommending the purchase and installation of an audio/video monitoring
system for the holding facility and investigative interview rooms at the Police Department from Level
5 Security, Inc.

Chapter 29: ARRESTEE TRANSPORTATION (Assigned Asgessor: JC)
The Delray Beach Police Department has policies and procedures in place regulating the
transportation of prisoners and detainees. Officer Jeff Rasor and Officer Jeff Caldwell were
interviewed regarding these topics. Both officers were knowledgeable about prisoner
transportation including policies which regulate both juveniles and adults.
Chapter 30: HOLDING AREAS (Assigned Assessor: DLG)
The agency has a practice of allowing detainees to remain in the holding facility in excess of two
hours (CALEA definition for temporary holding areas); however, no detainee is held any longer
than 8 hours (CFA definition for temporary holding areas). The agency met in both practice and
policy the standards in Chapter 72 for CALEA. The agency does not maintain continuous
supervision over its detainees and is looking to address this in the future. It was a
recommendation made by the on-site team to the agency to look into purchasing audio/video
monitoring for each holding cell and possibly review the need to utilize 8 different cells.
Chapter 31: COURT SECURITY (Assigned Assessor: JC)
The Delray Beach Police Department is not responsible for the provision of court security.
Chapter 32: CIVIL PROCESS (Assigned Assessor: MD)
This agency is only responsible for Civil Injunctions for Protection. Procedures for service of the
injunctions is clear and easy to understand. Service is documented in a manner that is consistent
with standards.
Chapter 33: COMMUNICATIONS (Assigned Assessor: DLG)
Excellent documentation both written and observed. I visited the Communications Center and
interviewed Communications Manger Katie Hartmann who was exceptionally knowledgeable
about the operations of the center and was able to verify compliance with the standards in this
chapter. A recommendation was made to assess the feasibility of developing a written plan
regarding fire and bomb threats. The agency was very receptive to this idea and was to begin this
process.
Chapter 34: RECORDS (Assigned Assessor: DLG)
Records is a very secure area with extremely tight security placed on traffic citations. Juvenile
records were found to be secure and separate from adult records. A suggestion was made with
regard to the standard on computers. The agency is relying on a city policy to prove compliance
and it was suggested that the agency adopt their own policy, mirroring the city!s policy in an effort
to prove that all members were issued the policy. The agency had already began the process to
develop their own' computer policy; however, it has not been issued at this time.
Chapter 35: EVIDENCE (Assigned Assessor: DLG)
A physical inspection of the evidence area was completed after reviewing the written
documentation.. ~ The agency was .in compliance_, wit_h _the stand_ards and also provided more than
sufficient proof of training as noted in Chapter 14 with regard to evidence collection. There was
some initial concern over proof of lab analysis (what type of tests to perform and where the
evidence goes), but after reviewing the documentation maintained in the evidence area, the
concern was allev/ated.

Dear Sir:

included in the bid. If any need to be installed, an electrician will have to be called
to install them.
The installation comes with a 1 year parts and labor warranty except for the D.V.R.
which comes with a 90 day warranty. Also provided is 90-day free onsite
instruction.

Re: Proposed County Charter Amendment Regulating Voluntary Annexation
Attached is a copy of Palm Beach County Ordinance 2004-021 proposing a charter
amendment to give the County the power to control voluntary municipal annexations. A
motion to delay adoption of this ordinance failed to pass by a 4 - 3 vote of the County
Commission, with Commissioners McCarty, Newell and Greene voting in the minority.
The Commission majority has said that this ordinance will not affect the coastal cities, and
they could have written a charter amendment that would not affect us, but that is not what the
County has chosen to do. This amendment is a broad grant of power, authorizing the County
Commission to adopt an implementing ordinance. That ordinance, even if it does not initially
affect us, could be changed by a future County Commission any time they wished.
The Village of Wellington, on September 28, authorized filing of a lawsuit in an effort to get
this question thrown off the November ballot. Attached is a copy of the pleadings they are
filing. Our City Attorney has discussed these issues with the attorney for the Village of
Wellington, and can provide further background information.
Recommendation: In view of the serious implications this ordinance has for municipal
home rule, and our ability to logically expand our boundaries when we determine it is in our
best interests to do so, I recommend that you adopt the attached resolution authorizing us to
become co-plaintiffs in this litigation.
I also recommend that we work closely with the League of Cities to develop and execute a
political campaign to defeat this charter amendment at the ballot box in case this lawsuit is
unsuccessful.
RESOLUTION NO. 77-04
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA,
AUTHORIZING THE FILING OF A COMPLAINT FOR
DECLARATORY JUDGMENT AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF SEEKING
THE INVALIDATION AND REMOVAL FROM THE BALLOT OF THE
REFERENDUM QUESTION PROPOSED PURSUANT TO PALM
BEACH COUNTY COMMISSION ORDINANCE 2004-021
ATTEMPTING TO AMEND THE PALM BEACH COUNTY CHARTER
RELATING TO THE MATTER OF ANNEXATION, FINDING THAT
SIGNIFICANT LEGAL RIGHTS WILL BE COMPROMISED IF
COURT PROCEEDINGS DO NOT TAKE PLACE EXPEDITIOUSLY,
AND THEREFORE, ELIMINATING ANY REQUIREMENT TO
COMPLY WITH THE PROVISIONS OF CHAPTER 164, FLORIDA
STATUTES, RELATING TO INTERGOVERNMENTAL CONFLICT
RESOLUTION PROCEDURES; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE
DATE.
WHEREAS, Chapter 171, Florida Statutes, sets forth uniform standards and
procedures for adjusting the boundaries of municipalities through annexation or contraction
of corporate limits within the State of Florida; and
WHEREAS, such criteria and regulations have been established so as to:
1. Ensure sound urban development and accommodation to growth;
2. Establish uniform legislative standards through the State for the adjustment
of municipal boundaries;
3. Ensure the efficient provision of urban services to areas that become urban
in character, and
4. Ensure that areas are not annexed unless municipal services can be
provided to those areas.
WHEREAS, the methods and procedures for annexations set forth in Chapter 171,
Florida Statutes, have a lengthy legislative history and body of case law to guide
municipalities and property owners in moving forward through the annexation process; and
WHEREAS, Section 171,044, Florida Statutes, "Voluntary annexation", provides a
streamlined process for the annexation of property where upon the consent of one hundred
percent (100%) of the owners of real property, of an unincorporated area of a county which
is contiguous to a municipality and reasonably compact may be annexed to the
municipality with the consent of the municipality; and
WHEREAS, Section 171.044(4), Florida Statutes, excepts the provisions of that
section in charter counties wherein such charter provides for an exclusive method of
municipal annexation; and
WHEREAS, Palm Beach County is a charter county, but does not currently have a
charter provision dealing with annexation; and
WHEREAS, Palm Beach County Commission is attempting to amend the Palm
Beach County Charter to authorize the Palm Beach County Commission to pass an
ordinance providing for the exclusive method for "voluntary annexation"; and
WHEREAS, the Palm Beach County Commission passed Ordinance 2004-021
calling for a referendum to amend the Palm Beach County Charter.
WHEREAS, the proposed charter amendment is defective and misleading for a
variety of reasons, including, but not limited to, the following:
1. Voluntary annexation is not defined in the question or charter amendment
presented to the voters.
2. The proposed amendment does not place into the charter the procedures
and standards for "voluntary annexation" as required by Section 171.044(4).
3. The proposed charter amendment authorizes, but does not mandate the
County Commission to pass an ordinance dealing with "voluntary
annexation",
4. If an ordinance is passed by the County Commission, it can be amended at
any time by the County Commission.
5. The proposed charter amendment does not indicate that the provisions of
Chapter 171.044, Florida Statutes, will not be available to property owners, if
the charter amendment is adopted.
6. The proposed charter amendment deals with several subjects.
7. The County Commission has been disingenuous in it discussion and
descriptions of the charter amendment as current State law requires all
annexations to be voluntary by a majority of the property area and/or the
majority of voters (of people residing in the area to be annexed) voting in a
referendum to be in favor of the annexation, for an annexation to take place.
8. The proposed charter amendment does not require the consent of the
municipality to effect an annexation into the municipality; and
WHEREAS, if the referendum is passed by a majority of the voters of Palm
Beach County, property owners and municipalities will be uncertain as tO the process
and validity of annexation action; and
WHEREAS, the City of Delray Beach, its citizens, and neighbors have a strong
interest in having clear and concise procedures and criteria for the annexation of
properties into municipal boundaries; and
WHEREAS, the proposed charter amendment does not provide clear
guidelines, could be the subject of ongoing change and confusion, and subjects the
annexation process to potential abuse; and
WHEREAS, it is in the best interest of the City of Delray Beach and its citizens
that the infirmities of the proposed charter amendment are overturned prior to their
potential implementation.
NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH FINDS AND RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The foregoing recitals are hereby affirmed and ratified as being true
and correct.
Section 2. That the proposed charter amendment is confusing and its
implications are unable to be understood by the average voter because the Palm
Beach County Commission has refused to enact appropriate definitions and standards
to clarify what the proposed ordinance relating to annexations would actually state.
Section 3. That because of the impending referendum on November 2, 2004, the
City of Delray Beach does not have the time or opportunity to participate in the
intergovernmental conflict resolution procedures contemplated by the provisions of
Chapter 164, Florida Statutes.

IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE
FIFTEENTH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT IN AND
FOR PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA
CIVIL DIVISION
THE VILLAGE OF WELLINGTON~
a Florida municipality, CASE NO.:
Plaintiff,
VS.
PALM BEACH COUNTY, Florida
a political subdivision,
Defendant.
/
COMPLAINT FOR DECLARATORY JUDGMENT AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF
Plaintiffs, THE VILLAGE OF WELLINGTON, a Florida municipal corporation (hereinafter
"Wellington"), by and through its undersigned counsel, sues Defendant PALM BEACH COUNTY,
a political subdivision of the State of Florida (hereinafter "County"), and in support thereof would
state as follows:
GENERAL ALLEGATIONS
1. Wellington is a municipal corporation incorporated in the State of Florida and located
in Palm Beach County, Florida.
2. Defendant County is a political subdivision of the State of Florida.
3. Article VIII, Section 2 of the Florida Constitution provides that "Municipalities shall
have governmental, corporate and proprietary powers to enable them to conduct municipal
government, perform municipal functions and render municipal services, and may exercise any
power for municipal purposes except as otherwise provided by law." Additionally, Article VIII,
Section 2 provides that municipalities shall have the power to annex unincorporated territory as
provided by general or special law.
4. Chapter 171, Florida Statutes, provides the methods for municipalities to annex
territory into their jurisdiction, including the process for standard annexation and the process for
voluntary annexation.
5. Both processes for annexation are voluntary in nature. The standard process set forth
in Section 171.0413, Florida Statutes, is initiated by the passage of an ordinance by the governing
body of the municipality which is subject to the affirmative vote of the registered voters in the area to
be annexed or if there are no voters in the area the consent of the owners of the majority of the
acreage and majority of parcels, in order to effectuate the ordinance. Section 171.044, Florida
Statutes, sets forth a procedure for property owner(s) to petition the municipality to be annexed into
the municipality when one hundred percent (100%) of the owners of the property(ies) consent to the
petition after which the municipality can pass an ordinance annex ing the property(ies).
6. While Section 171.044, Florida Statutes, is captioned "Voluntary Annexation" there
is no statutory definition for "voluntary annexation" and there is no process under general law
wherein an annexation to a municipality can take place without the mutual consent of the governing
body of the municipality and at least the majority of voters voting in referendum or the majority of
property owners consenting to the annexation.
7. Sub-Section 171.044 (4) Florida Statutes states:
(4) The method of annexation provided by this Section shall be
supplemental to any other procedure provided by general or special
law, except that this section shall not apply to municipalities in
counties with charters which provide for an exclusive method of
municipal annexation.
8. Palm Beach County is a charter county.
9. Palm Beach County's charter does not contain any problems dealing with materials or
purchases relating to municipal annexation.
10.. On August 17, 2004, the Palm Beach County Commission approved Ordinance 2004-
021 (the "Ballot Ordinance"), which requires that the following question shall be placed on the
ballot for November 2, 2004 by the Supervisor of Elections:
Shall the Palm Beach County Charter be amended to authorize
an ordinance providing for the exclusive method for voluntary
annexations, including notice requirements and designation of the
area outside the urban service area as unincorporated protection area
where voluntary annexation must be approved by the county
commission, and which includes unincorporated rural neighborhoods
where voluntary annexation must be approved by the county
commission and majority vote of electors residing within the
boundaries of that neighborhood? Yes ~ No
A tree and correct copy of the Ballot Ordinance is attached as Exhibit "A".
11.. The Ballot Ordinance itself acknowledges that Section 171.044(4) Fla. Stat. (2003)
Statutes provides authority for a charter county to provide for an exclusive method for voluntary
municipal annexation in its charter (see WHEREAS clause in Ballot ordinance, emphasis added).
12. Section 1.1. of the proposed amended charter would state, however, that the County
has the "power to establish by ordinance the exclusive method for voluntary municipal annexation,
to the extent authorized by law, including the designation of an unincorporated protection area and
designation of unincorporated rural neighborhoods." At section 1.3., proposed amended charter
would provide as follows:
Nothing in this Charter shall prevent a municipality from
annexing an unincorporated area into its municipal boundaries, except
that all voluntary annexations shall be in accordance with the
exclusive method for voluntary municipal annexation established by
ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners, including the
designation of an unincorporated protection area and designation of
unincorporated rural neighborhoods. Voluntary annexation in an
unincorporated protection area requires approval by an affirmative
vote of at least five [of the seven] members of the board of county
commissioners. Voluntary annexation in an unincorporated rural
neighborhood requires approval by an affirmative vote of at least five
members of the board of county commissioners and a majority of the
registered electors residing within the boundaries of the
unincorporated rural neighborhood voting on the question (emphasis
added).
13. The proposed charter amendment would purport to give authority to the County
Commission to create by ordinance, as amended from time to time, the exclusive method of
voluntary amendment. The proposed charter amendment would not create a"charter which provides
for an exclusive method of voluntary annexation" as expressly required by Section 171.044.
14. The proposed charter amendment further purports to authorize the County
Commission to establish "unincorporated protection areas" and "unincorporated rural
neighborhoods." Voluntary annexation in any area designated by the County Commission at any
time as 'hanincorporated protection area" would require a supermajority of votes of the county
commission, or any other additional requirement the county commission chooses to impose by
ordinance in the future. Voluntary annexation in any area designated by the County Commission at
any time as "unincorporated rural neighborhood" would require a supermajority of votes of the
county commission plus a majority vote of the electors residing within the boundaries of the
neighborhood voting on the issue, or any other additional requirement the county commission
chooses to impose by ordinance in the future.
15. The proposed charter amendment refers to "voluntary annexation" but does not define
the term.
16. For all other unincorporated areas of Palm Beach County, not in the "unincorporated
protection areas" or the "unincorporated rural areas," the amended charter would not necessarily
provide any method for voluntary annexation.
17. The requirements set out in the proposed charter amendment for the future
"ordinance" would delegate to the County Commission the absolute power to decide, without any
guidance or standard, which voluntary annexations should be approved and which should be denied
in unincorporated areas contiguous to municipality that would qualify for future annexation.
18. Members of the County Commission have incorrectly stated on the public record that
the proposed charter amendment affects only some municipalities in Palm Beach County (i.e.
Wellington and Royal Palm Beach).
19. The proposed charter amendment gives a minority of the County Commission the
absolute power to prevent any voluntary annexation into municipality from broad unincorporated
areas. The proposed charter amendment would give a minority of the County Commission the
absolute power to reject any requests for voluntary annexations into a municipality without having
to give any reasons for any such denial.
20. The proposed charter amendment would give the county commission absolute power
to establish, expand, reduce or alter the so-called "unincorporated protection areas" and
"unincorporated rural neighborhoods," which will in each case affect the property rights of
individual property owners in such areas and the municipal rights of Cities without due process of
law.
21. The proposed charter amendment would empower the County Commission to subject
entire swaths of individual properties to its will without any recourse, standards, guidelines, due
process or rules other than the whim and will of the county commission. The boundaries of any such
areas would depend on the designation of urban service boundaries and other restrictive areas, which
would be made from time to time by the County Commission.
22. While the proposed charter amendment would make certain, as not yet defined areas,
eligible to become unincorporated rural neighborhoods, additional ordinances would be required in
each case to designate such areas. Such designations, affecting the exclusive method for voluntary
annexations, would all be outside the charter and not be reflected in the charter.
23. The proposed charter amendment fails to incorporate a map clearly designating the
boundaries of the various rural neighborhoods. It merely states that
areas eligible to be designated by ordinance as unincorporated
rural neighborhoods must be located in the unincorporated protection
area and are limited to recorded subdivisions and antiquated
subdivisions as defined in the Palm Beach County Comprehensive
Plan located in the exurban or rural tiers of the Palm Beach County
Comprehensive Plan and other residential neighborhoods located in
the exurban and rural tiers with at least 25 dwelling units as of the
effective date of this charter amendment.
24. The proposed charter amendment would not provide in the charter the exclusive
rnethodfor voluntary annexation, but would instead give a minority of the County Commission the
absolute power to prevent any voluntary annexations in certain areas, a goal the county commission
has expressly sought to accomplish with the amendment.
25. The proposed charter amendment fails to provide for any input by municipalities in
the voluntary annexation process. The proposed charter amendment would permit, on its terms, a
forced annexation of certain areas into a municipality that does not want to annex such areas.
26. By designating portions of unincorporated areas of Palm Beach County as
"unincorporated protection areas" or "unincorporated rural neighborhoods, with the intention of
preventing municipalities from annexing such areas, Defendant County is in fact defining municipal
borders of municipalities, including Plaintiffs. The language in the proposed amended charter would
make the definition of such areas dependent on the County's definition of its "urban service area,"
and the County Commission has the power to change its urban service area boundaries without
further referendum.
27. The proposed charter amendment violates the mandates of Defendant County's
Comprehensive Plan, which provides that "[T]he County shall work to reach general agreement on
ultimate municipal boundaries, to the maximum extent possible, through the Palm Beach County
intergovernmental Coordination program . . ." Objective 1.4, Policy 1.4-b.; Intergovernmental
Coordination Element. The County prepared the delineation of municipal annexation areas without
any input t~om the municipalities.
29. The proposed charter amendment is an improper device to prohibit "voluntary
annexation" into ,municipalities rather than the exclusive method for annexation in Palm Beach
County. Accordingly, the proposed charter amendment is more in the nature of a substantive change
in state law to obstruct annexation than a procedural change to provide a method to accomplish
voluntary annexation.
30. It is unclear how it will be determined whether the owners of areas designated as
"rural neighborhoods" and "unincorporated protection areas" in fact wish or agree to have their
property so designated.
31. The proposed charter amendment would not contribute to establishment of uniform
legislative standards throughout the state for the adjustment of municipal boundaries, nor to the
efficient delivery of services in such areas.
32. The establishment and amendment of the "unincorporated protection areas" and
"unincorporated rural neighborhoods" should require, at a minimum, the process of public heatings
to amend the Comprehensive Plan of Palm Beach County, land use classifications, and submission to
the Department of Community Affairs and other jurisdictional entities for final approval.
33. The proposed charter amendment would transfer a statutory function of a municipality
(Article VIII, Section 2 of the Florida Constitution, determination of what land to annex) to the
County without fulfilling the procedural requirements of article VIII, Section 4 of the Florida
Constitution, conceming the transfer of power between goveming bodies.
34. Article VI, Section 6.3 of the Palm Beach County Charter (Home Rule Charter
Amendments), provides that "each amendment to this Home Rule Charter shall be limited to a single
and independent subject."
35. The County's placement of the proposed charter amendment on the November ballot
leaves Plaintiffs in doubt as to its fights and the rights of the County under the proposed charter
amendment, as more fully set forth in the various causes of action for declaratory relief, stated below.
36. This Complaint's causes of action for declaratory relief are brought pursuant to
Chapter 86, Florida Statutes
37. Jurisdiction for the causes of action for declaratory relief in this matter is before this
Court pursuant to Section 86.011, Florida Statutes. Venue for this action is proper within Palm
Beach County, Florida.
38. The submission of the proposed charter amendment to the voters of Palm Beach
County would irreparably harm Plaintiff.
39. Plaintiff have no remedy at law. Plaintiffs are likely to prevail on the merits in this
case. An injunction against the placing of the ballot language on the ballot will serve the public
interest.
COUNT I: Declaratory Judgment that the proposed charter amendment violates Section
171.044, Fla. Stat., in that it would not provide in the charter for the exclusive
method of voluntary amendment.
40. The allegations in paragraphs 1 through 33 are realleged and reaverred as though fully
set forth herein.
41. Pursuant to Chapter 171, Florida Statutes, and Article VIII, Section 2 of the Florida
Constitution, the power to annex, voluntarily or involuntarily, is a function, service and power of a
municipality, such as .municipal Plaintiffs That power may be abridged only if a charter county
prOvides for the exclusive method of "voluntary" annexation in its charter.
42. As stated more fully above, the proposed charter amendment, if passed by the electors
in Palm Beach County, would not set forth the exclusive method for voluntary annexation in Palm
Beach County. Instead, the proposed charter amendment would give power to the County
Commission to
(a) pass and subsequently amend an ordinance providing for the exclusive
method of voluntary annexation without any meaningful limitations;
(b) pass or amend ordinances defining "unincorporated protection areas" and
"unincorporated rural neighborhoods," as the County Commission deems fit in its absolute
discretion;
(c) reject applications for voluntary annexations that do not achieve a
supermajority before the county commission for any reason or no reason whatsoever;
(d) reject any applications for voluntary annexations into most of Wellington,
which is an announced goal of the county commission according to commissioners' public
statements.
(ii) The charter amendment authorizes, but does not mandate the passage of any
ordinance by the County Commission with respect to voluntary municipal annexation. If the charter
amendment passed, but the county commission did not pass an effectuating ordinance, the method
of annexation contemplated by Section 171.044, Florida Statutes, would not be applicable and the
only method of annexation would be under Section 171.0413, Florida Statutes.
43. The proposed charter amendment would not provide any method of voluntary
annexations for broad portions of Palm Beach County, which are not part of the "unincorporated
protection areas" or "unincorporated rural neighborhoods."
WHEREFORE, Wellington respectfully requests that this Court accept jurisdiction over this
matter and issue a judgment declaring the following:
a. That the proposed charter amendment is not valid or enforceable under applicable
law;
b. That the proposed charter amendment is invalid in that it does not create a charter
which provides for an exclusive method of municipal annexation.
c. That the proposed charter amendment further violates Section 171.044 in that it fails
to set forth, for large portions of Palm Beach County not located in the "unincorporated protection
areas" or "unincorporated rural neighborhoods," any voluntary annexation method;
d. That it was not proper to submit the proposed charter amendment to the voters of
Palm Beach County;
e. That, injunctive relief shall issue striking the ballot question from the ballot for
November 2, 2004.
f. That, if the proposed charter amendment receives and affirmative vote, the proposed
charter amendment is not valid or enforceable under applicable law;
g. Wellington respectfully requests such other and further relief as the court deems
necessary and proper, including without limitation an award of its costs pursuant to Section 86.081
10
COUNT II: Declaratory Judgment that the proposed charter amendment violates the
charter's single subject requirement for amendments (Article VI, Section 6.3.,
Palm Beach County Charter).
45. The allegations in paragraphs 1 through 33 are realleged and reaverred as though fully
set forth herein.
46. This is an action for declaratory relief brought pursuant to Chapter 86, Florida
Statutes, declaring that the ballot language violates of Article VI, Section 6.3 of Palm Beach
County's Charter (Home Rule Charter Amendments), which provides that "each amendment to this
Home Rule Charter shall be limited to a single and independent subject."
47. The Ballot Ordinance places the following question on the ballot:
Shall the Palm Beach County Charter be amended to authorize
an ordinance providing for the exclusive method for voluntary
annexations, including notice requirements and designation of the
area outside the urban service area as unincorporated protection area
where voluntary annexation must be approved by the county
commission, and which includes unincorporated rural neighborhoods
where voluntary annexation must be approved by the county
commission and majority vote of electors residing within the
boundaries of that neighborhood? Yes __ No
48. The ballot question violates Article VI, Section 6.3.of the Palm Beach County Charter
because it concems at least four separate subjects:
a. Elimination of the availability of annexations in accordance with Section
171.044, Florida Statutes.
b. Authorization of the county commission to pass an ordinance providing for the
exclusive method of voluntary annexation.
c. Authorization of the County Commission to pass an ordinance designating an
unincorporated protection area where voluntary annexations would later have to be approved
by a super-majority vote of the Board of County Commissioners?
11
d. uthorization of the County Commission to pass an ordinance establishing
areas eligible to become unincorporated rural neighborhoods, where voluntary annexations
would later have to be approved by a super-majority of the Board of County Commissioners
and additionally by a majority vote of the electors residing in the neighborhood so designated
by the Commission.
49. The proposed charter amendment would substantially alter or perform the functions of
multiple aspects of government, including, without limitation, (1) the county commission may if it
chooses designate by ordinance the exclusive method of voluntary annexation; (2) the county
commission may i fit chooses establish and freely amend unincorporated protection area boundaries;
and (3) the county commission may, if it chooses, establish and freely amend boundaries of areas
eligible to become unincorporated rural neighborhoods, and thereafter consider whether eligible
areas should in fact become rural neighborhoods.
WHEREFORE, Wellington respectfully requests that this Court accept jurisdiction over this
matter and issue a judgment declaring the following:
a. That the proposed charter amendment violates Article VI, Section 6.3 of Palm Beach
County's Charter (Home Rule Charter Amendments),
b. That it was not proper to submit the proposed charter amendment to the voters of
Palm Beach County;
c. That, injunctive relief shall issue striking the ballot question from the ballot for
November 2, 2004.
d. That, if the proposed charter amendment receives and affirmative vote, the proposed
charter amendment is not valid or enforceable under applicable law;
e. Wellington respectfully requests such other and further relief as the court deems
12
necessary and proper, including without limitation an award of its costs pursuant to Section 86.081.
COUNT III: Declaratory Judgment that the proposed charter amendment violates Florida
Law in that the ballot question fails to provide its substance in clear and
unambiguous language.
50. The allegations in paragraphs 1 through 33 are re-alleged and re-averred as though
fully set forth herein.
51. This is an action for declaratory relief brought pursuant to Chapter 86, Florida
Statutes, declaring that the ballot language violates Section 101.161 (1) Fla. Stat. in that the ballot
language does not state its substance clearly and unambiguously.
52. Section 101.161(1) of the Florida Statutes provides, in relevant part, that
Whenever a constitutional amendment or other public
measure is submitted to the vote of the people, the substance of such
amendment or other public measure shall be printed in clear and
unambiguous language on the ballot."
53. The intent of this section is to ensure that voters are advised of the tree meaning of a
proposed ballot measure.
54. The Ballot Ordinance places the following question on the ballot:
Shall the Palm Beach County Charter be amended to authorize
an ordinance providing for the exclusive method for voluntary
annexations, including notice requirements and designation of the
area outside the urban service area as unincorporated protection area
where voluntary annexation must be approved by the county
commission, and which includes unincorporated rural neighborhoods
where voluntary annexation must be approved by the county
commission and majority vote of electors residing within the
boundaries of that neighborhood? Yes __ No
55. The wording of the ballot question at issue is ambiguous, unclear and not capable of
being understood by a reasonable voter. It includes, without limitation, the following ambiguities
and infirmities:
13
i. Does the Palm Beach County Commission have an obligation to pass such an
ordinance if the charter amendment is approved?
ii. Does the clause "and which includes unincorporated neighborhoods..." refer to the
"the exclusive method of voluntary annexation," to "the unincorporated protection
area," or to the "ordinance"?
iii. Does the term "including" refer to "ordinance", to "amended", to "charter" or to
"exclusive method"?
iv. What will the exclusive method of annexation outside the "unincorporated protection
area" and the "unincorporated rural neighborhood" be?
v. Who decides which areas are to become "unincorporated rural neighborhoods?"
vi. What does it mean that areas become "eligible" to become "unincorporated rural
neighborhoods."
vii. How can any given elector determine what the exclusive method of annexation for
his/her unincorporated property will be if the proposed amendment is adopted?
viii. Does this charter amendment give the county commission the power to later place
property currently in the urban service areas (i.e. not in the "unincorporated
protection area" or the "unincorporated rural neighborhood") in the protected areas,
or vice versa, and thereby subjecting such property to annexation restrictions that do
not apply at the time of the vote?
ix. Does this charter amendment give the county commission the right to approve
annexations with a 5:2 supermajority vote over the objection of the annexing
municipality (i.e. forced annexation)?
x. Does this amendment really provide for the exclusive method of voluntary
14
annexation in Palm Beach County, or only in certain portions of Palm Beach County?.
xi. Is municipal acquiescence to the annexation necessary?
WHEREFORE, Wellington respectfully requests that this Court accept jurisdiction over this
matter and issue a judgment declaring the following:
a. That the proposed charter amendment violates Florida Statute 101.161 (1) because it is
unclear and ambiguous;
b. That it was not proper to submit the proposed charter amendment to the voters of
Palm Beach County;
c. That, injunctive relief shall issue striking the ballot question from the ballot for
November 2, 2004.
d. That, if the proposed charter amendment receives and affirmative vote, the proposed
charter amendment is not valid or enforceable under applicable law;
e. Wellington respectfully requests such other and further relief as the court deems
necessary and proper, including without limitation an award of its costs pursuant to Section 86.081.
COUNT IV: Declaratory Judgment that the proposed charter amendment violates Article
VIII, Section 2 of the Florida Constitution in that it is an unlawful delegation to
let the Palm Beach County Commission determine municipal boundaries.
56. The allegations in paragraphs 1 through 33 are re-alleged and re-averred as though
fully set forth herein.
57. This is an action for declaratory relief brought pursuant to Chapter 86, Florida
Statutes, declaring that the proposed charter amendment is invalid because it improperly delegates to
the Palm Beach County Commission thc power to determine municipal borders by means of the
proposed power to designate "unincorporated protection areas" and "unincorporated rural
15
neighborhoods," and by approving or even forcing annexations over the objections of the annexing
municipality, all in violation of Article vm, Section 2 of the Florida Constitution.
58. Municipalities may exercise municipal powers except as otherwise provided by law.
Art VIII, Sec. 2, Florida Constitution. Such a law is Section 171.044, which provides that the
municipal power to determine boundaries may be limited by charter provisions providing for the
exclusive method of voluntary annexation.
59. By adopting the charter amendment as proposed, the voters of Palm Beach County
would delegate the authority to limit the municipalities' power to determine their boundary from
themselves to the County commission.
60. The language of the charter amendment is not attended by meaningful standards for
the exercise of this power by the County Commission.
61. The language in the amended charter would make the definition of"unincorporated
protection areas" and "unincorporated rural neighborhoods," dependent on the County's definition of
its "urban service area."
62. The County Commission has the power to change its "urban service area" boundaries
without further referendum. As such, the proposed charter amendment gives the power to the County
Commission to define, in the future, annexation areas and thus municipal boundaries.
63. The proposed Charter amendment, on its face, would let the county commission pass
an ordinance that completely ignores the wishes and procedures of municipalities in the annexation
process.
64. The charter amendment would let the county commission enact an ordinance that
could force municipalities to accept undesirable annexations if a supermajority of the county
commission approves such annexations.

WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs respectfully requests that this Court accept jurisdiction over this
matter and issue a judgment declaring the following:
a. That the proposed charter amendment violates Article VIlI, Section 2 of the Florida
Constitution by improperly delegating to Defendant County the power to define municipal boarders;
b. That it was not proper to submit the proposed charter amendment to the voters of
Palm Beach County;
c. That, injunctive relief shall issue striking the ballot question from the ballot for
November 2, 2004.
d. That, if the proposed charter amendment receives and affirmative vote, the proposed
charter amendment is not valid or enforceable under applicable law;
e. Plaintiffs respectfully requests such other and further relief as the court deems
necessary and proper, including without limitation an award of its costs pursuant to Section 86.081.
COUNT V: Declaratory Judgment that the proposed charter amendment is illegal in that it
violates the Intergovernmental Coordination Element in the Palm Beach
County Comprehensive Plan.
65. The allegations in paragraphs 1 through 33 are realleged and reaverred as though fully
set forth herein.
66. This is an action for declaratory relief brought pursuant to Chapter 86, Florida
Statutes, declaring that the proposed charter amendment violates the mandates of Defendant
County's Comprehensive Plan, which provides that "IT]he County shall work to reach general
agreement on ultimate municipal boundaries, to the maximum extent possible, through the Palm
Beach County intergovernmental coordination program . . "Objective 1.4, Policy 1.4-b.;
Intergovemmental Coordination Element. The County prepared the delineation of municipal
17
annexation areas without any input from the municipalities.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs respectfully requests that this Court accept jurisdiction over this
matter and issue a judgment declaring the following:
a. That the proposed charter amendment is improper in that it violates the mandates of
Palm Beach County's Comprehensive Plan, Intergovemmental Coordination Element, Objective 1.4,
Policy 1.4-b
b. That it was not proper to submit the proposed charter amendment to the voters of
Palm Beach County;
c. That, injunctive relief shall issue striking the ballot question from the ballot for
November 2, 2004.
d. That, if the proposed charter amendment receives and affirmative vote, the proposed
charter amendment is not valid or enforceable under applicable law;
e. Plaintiffs respectfully requests such other and further relief as the court deems
necessary and proper, including without limitation an award of its costs pursuant to Section 86.081.
COUNT VI: Declaratory Judgment that the Ballot Ordinance violates the law in that it
fails to properly define the rural protection areas and rural neighborhood
areas the County Commission may include in any exclusive annexation
ordinances it may adopt.
67. The allegations in paragraphs 1 through 33 are realleged and reaverred as though fully
set forth herein.
68. The proposed charter amendment fails to properly define the "unincorporated
protection areas" and "unincorporated rural neighborhoods."
69. The proposed charter amendment fails to include a map or legal description of areas
to be so designated.
18
70. The proposed charter amendment does not require the County Commission to
designate any areas, or any specific areas as "unincorporated protection areas" or "unincorporated
rural neighborhoods."
71. The areas the County Commission may designate can be changed subsequently by the
County Commission without fi.trther input of the electors. Accordingly, the electors cannot know
whether they will be located in an "unincorporated protection area" or "unincorporated rural
neighborhood" when the County Commission finally enacts an ordinance providing for the exclusive
method for voluntary annexation.
72. The purported definition in the charter amendment for areas eligible to be included as
"unincorporated protection area" or"rural neighborhood area" is so vague, that a reasonable elector
would be unable to determine whether or not property he owns would be located in an
"unincorporated protection area" or "unincorporated rural neighborhood" when the County
Commission finally designates them.
73. The proposed amended charter defines these areas as follows:
The unincorporated protection area is defined as all unincorporated
lands located outside of the urban service area established in the Palm beach
County Comprehensive Plan. Areas eligible to be designated by ordinance as
unincorporated rural neighborhoods must be located in the unincorporated
protection area and are limited to recorded subdivisions and antiquated
subdivisions as defined in the Palm Beach County Comprehensive Plan
located in the exurban or rural tiers of the Palm beach County Comprehensive
Plan and other residential neighborhoods located in the exurban and rural
tiers with at least 25 dwelling units as of the effective date of this charter
amendment.
74. This is an action for declaratory relief brought pursuant to Chapter 86, Florida
Statutes, declaring that the definition of unincorporated protection areas and unincorporated rural
neighborhood in Ballot Ordinance is unconstitutionally vague and invalid under Section 101.161 Fla.
19
Stat (2003),.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs respectfully requests that this Court accept jurisdiction over this
matter and issue a judgment declaring the following:
a. That the Ballot Ordinance violates the law in that it inadequately defines the areas the
County may designate as "unincorporated protection area or unincorporated rural neighborhood.
b. That it was not proper to submit the proposed charter amendment to the voters of
Palm Beach County;
c. That, injunctive relief shall issue striking the ballot question from the ballot for
November 2, 2004.
d. That, if the proposed charter amendment receives and affirmative vote, the proposed
charter amendment is not valid or enforceable under applicable law;
e. Wellington respectfully requests such other and further relief as the court deems
necessary and proper, including without limitation an award of its costs pursuant to Section 86.081.
COUNT VII: Declaratory Judgment that the proposed charter amendment is illegal in that it
violates Section 171.021, Fla. Stat., which mandates annexation law is to provide
state wide uniform annexation standards and assurances for the efficient
provision of urban services.
75. The allegations in paragraphs 1 through 33 are re-alleged and re-averred as though
fully set forth herein.
76. This is an action for declaratory relief brought pursuant to Chapter 86, Florida
Statutes, declaring the proposed charter amendment would violate the purposes of Chapter 171
Florida Statute, which is to provide state wide uniform annexation standards and assurances for
the efficient provision of urban services. Section 171.021 Fla. Stat (2003).
20
77. Rather than creating uniform legal standards for annexation laws in Florida, the
proposed charter amendment would create an entirely tmique legal system for annexation in Palm
Beach County, where the exclusive method for voluntary annexation is determined by county
ordinance, and where the system suffers from the other infirmities alleged above.
78. Rather than ensuring the efficient provision of urban services, the proposed charter
amendment would prevent the most efficient provision of such services. Annexation by adjacent
municipalities with service capacity could be and would be stymied by Palm Beach County, who is
seeking to preempt local municipalities from annexing, and subsequently selling services to,
currently unincorporated areas of Palm Beach County.
79. The proposed charter amendment is part of a concerted effort by the County to usurp
and reserve unto itself the power to provide services in unincorporated areas or to block any other
service providers until such time in the future as the County decides to provide services in such
areas. Accordingly, the proposed charter amendment runs counter to the legislatively mandated
purpose of annexation laws.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs respectfully requests that this Court accept jurisdiction over this
matter and issue a judgment declaring the following:
a. That the proposed charter amendment violates Section 171.021, Fla. Stat.
b. That it was not proper to submit the proposed charter amendment to the voters of
Palm Beach County;
c. That, injunctive relief shall issue striking the ballot question from the ballot for
November 2, 2004.
d. That, if the proposed charter amendment receives and affirmative vote, the proposed
charter amendment is not valid or enforceable under applicable law;
21
e. Plaintiffs respectfully requests such other and further relief as the court deems
necessary and proper, including without limitation an award of its costs pursuant to Section 86.081.
COUNT VIII: Declaratory Judgment that the proposed charter amendment is
unconstitutional in that it would transfer a statutory function of a municipality
to the County without following the proper procedure for such a transfer of
power.
80. The allegations in paragraphs 1 through 33 are re-alleged and re-averred as though
fully set forth herein.
81. This is an action for declaratory relief brought pursuant to Chapter 86, Florida
Statutes, declaring the proposed charter amendment would transfer a statutory function of a
municipality (Article VIII, Section 2 of the Florida Constitution, determination of what land to
annex) to the County without fulfilling the procedural requirements of article VIII, section 4 of the
Florida Constitution, concerning the transfer of power between governing bodies.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs respectfully requests that this Court accept jurisdiction over this
matter and issue a judgment declaring the following:
a. That the proposed charter amendment is invalid because it would transfer a statutory
function ora municipality (Article vm, Section 2 of the Florida Constitution, determination of what
land to annex) to the County, without fulfilling the procedural requirements of article VIII, section 4
of the Florida Constitution, concerning the transfer of power between goveming bodies.
b. That it was not proper to submit the proposed charter amendment to the voters of
Palm Beach County;
c. That, injunctive relief shall issue striking the ballot question from the ballot for
November 2, 2004.
d. That, if the proposed charter amendment receives and affirmative vote, the proposed
22
charter amendment is not valid or enforceable under applicable law;
e. Plaintiffs respectfully requests such other and further relief as the court deems necessary
and proper, including without limitation an award of its costs pursuant to Section 86.081

IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE
FIFTEENTH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT IN AND
FOR PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA
CWIL DWISION
THE VILLAGE OF WELLINGTON,
a Florida municipality, CASE NO.:
Plaintiffs,
VS.
PALM BEACH COUNTY, Florida
a political subdivision,
Defendant.
/
MOTION FOR TEMPORARY INJUNCTION AND
REQUEST FOR EXPEDITED HEARING
Plaintiff, THE VILLAGE OF WELLINGTON, files this Motion for Temporary Injunction
and shows this Court as follows:
1. In this Motion, Plaintiff requests that the Court enter a temporary injunction to
prevent submission to the electors of Palm Beach County of an unconstitutional proposal for a
charter amendment.
2. The proposed charter amendment is unconstitutional because it is inconsistent with
superior law, as follows: (a) thc proposed charter amendment violates the requirements of Section
171.044 Florida Statutes; (b) thc proposed charter amendment violates the single-subject requirement
for amendments to the Palm Beach County Charter; and (3) the proposed charter language is
unconstitutional because it fails to advise the voters of the chief purpose of the proposed amendment.
3. The statement of facts set forth in the Memorandum of Law below, the Affidavit of
[or Verified Complaint], and the Exhibits attached to the [Verified] Complaint
demonstrate that Plaintiffs meet the standard for, and are entitled to, a temporary injunction.
4. The proposed charter amendment is inconsistent with superior law, requiring an
immediate injunction preventing this ballot measure from going to the electors of Palm Beach
County.
$. Plaintiff'~will suffer irreparable injury for which any available remedy at law would
bc inadequate" because the adoption of thc unconstitutional charter amendment would (a) prejudice
Plaintiff's rights to determine thc constitutionality of the charter amendment in a neutral forum, free
of preconceived notions as to political desirability of the charter amendment; Co) confuse thc electors
of Palm Beach County; and (c) require hundreds of thousands of voters of Palm Beach County to
expend thc effort to vote on a measure that is facially unconstitutional. The injury thus caused could
not be remedied with payment of money to every voter of Palm Beach County who made thc effort
to vote on this unconstitutional charter amendment. The damage to the credibility of the electoral
process could not be repaired by compelling the County to take any specific action after the fact.
Irreparable injury is further demonstrated in the [Verified] Complaint filed in this cause, which is
incorporated herein by reference.
6. Second, there is a substantial likelihood that Plaintiff will succeed on the merits of
this action because Defendant has acted in flagrant violation of the express requirements of Sections
171.044 and 101.161 Fla. Stat. and of Article VI, Section 6.3 of Palm Beach County's Charter
(Home Rule Charter Amendments). Further violations are alleged in the Complaint filed together
with this Motion.
7. The balance of the equities favors Plaintiff, given that delaying this ballot measure
would not cause any prejudice to Defendant's ability to place this measure on a subsequent ballot if it
should prevail. Plaintiff, in contrast, would have to fundamentally alter their legal procedures for
voluntary annexation if the ballot measure prevails, even if it is later struck as unconstitutional.
Preserving the status quo pending the adjudication of this issue of great public importance requires
that the charter amendment proposal is removed from the ballot of November 2, 2004.
8. Public policy concerns require the issuance of an injunction to avoid voter confusion
and unnecessary expenditures of public funds for a vote on an unconstitutional ballot question.
9. Plaintiffs request an expedited hearing of this matter since the injunctive relief
requested would be meaningless if issued in the normal course of legal proceedings. The Court
should give emergency consideration to this Motion because regular consideration would effectively
deny Plaintiffs their rights and cause irreparable harm.
MEMORANDUM OF LAW
A. Statement of Relevant Facts.
Plaintiffs are a municipal corporations (municipalities) incorporated in the State of Florida
and located in Palm Beach County, Florida. Defendant County is a political subdivision of the State
of Florida.
Article vm, Section 2 of the Florida Constitution provides that "Municipalities shall have
governmental, corporate and proprietary powers to enable them to conduct municipal government,
perform municipal functions and render municipal services, and may exercise any power for
municipal purposes except as otherwise provided by law." Additionally, Article VIII, Section 2
provides that municipalities shall have the power to annex unincorporated territory as provided by
general or special law. Chapter 171, Florida Statutes, provides the methods for municipalities to
annex territory into their jurisdiction, including the process for standard annexation and the process
for voluntary annexation. Subsection 171.044 Florida Statutes states:
The method of [voluntary] annexation provided by this
Section shall be supplemental to any other procedure provided by
general or special law, except that this section shall not apply to
municipalities in counties with charters which provide for an
exclusive method of municipal annexation.
On August 17, 2004, the Palm Beach County Commission approved Ordinance 2004- 021
(the "Ballot Ordinance"), which requires that the following question shall be placed on the ballot for
November 2, 2004 by the Supervisor of Elections:
Shall the Palm Beach County Charter be amended to authorize
an ordinance providing for the exclusive method for voluntary
annexations, including notice requirements and designation of the
area outside the urban service area as unincorporated protection area
where voluntary annexation must be approved by the county
commission, and which includes unincorporated rural neighborhoods
where voluntary annexation must be approved by the county
commission and majority vote of electors residing within the
boundaries of that neighborhood? Yes__ No
See Exhibit "A" to Complaint, at page __ The ballot ordinance itself acknowledges that Sec.
171.044(4), Florida Statutes provides authority for a charter county to provide for an exclusive
method for voluntary municipal annexation in its charter (see WHEREAS clause in ballot ordinance,
emphasis added).
Section 1.1. of the proposed amended charter would state, however, that the County
Commission would be delegated the "power to establish by ordinance the exclusive method for
voluntary municipal annexation, to the extent authorized by law, including the designation of an
unincorporated protection area and designation of unincorporated rural neighborhoods." At section
1.3., the proposed amended charter would provide as follows:
Nothing in this Charter shall prevent a municipality from
annexing an unincorporated area into its municipal boundaries, except
that all voluntary annexations shall be in accordance with the
exclusive method for voluntary municipal annexation established by
ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners, including the
designation of an unincorporated protection area and designation of
unincorporated rural neighborhoods. Voluntary annexation in an
unincorporated protection area requires approval by an affirmative
vote of at least five [of the seven] members of the board of county
commissioners. Voluntary annexation in an unincorporated rural
neighborhood requires approval by an affirmative vote of at least five
members of the board of county commissioners and a majority of the
registered electors residing within the boundaries of the
unincorporated rural neighborhood voting on the question.
The proposed charter amendment would thus purport to give the power to the County Commission to
create by ordinance, as amended from time to time, the exclusive method of voluntary amendment.
The proposed charter amendment further purports to authorize the County Commission to
establish "unincorporated protection areas" and areas eligible to become "unincorporated rm'al
neighborhoods." Voluntary annexation in any area so designated by the County Commission at any
time would require a supermajority of votes of the county commission, and, in the case of
unincorporated rural neighborhoods, additionally an affirmative vote of 50% or greater o fall electors
residing in the rural neighborhood. The proposed charter amendment appears to authorize the
County Commission to impose additional requirements for voluntary annexation at any time in the
future by ordinance. Further, the proposed charter amendment is not mandatory with respect to the
County Commission, letting the County Commission decide whether or not to provide by ordinance
for an exclusive method of voluntary annexation in Palm Beach County. For all other unincorporated
areas, not in the unincorporated protection areas or the unincorporated rural areas, the amended
charter would not even purport to provide any method for voluntary annexation.
Article VI, Section 6.3 of the Charter (Home Rule Charter Amendments), provides that "each
amendment to this Home Rule Charter shall be limited to a single and independent subject." Section
101.161 (1) o f the Florida Statutes provides, in relevant part, that the substance of such amendment or
other public measure shall be printed in clear and unambiguous language on the ballot. A tree and
correct copy of the ballot ordinance, setting forth the wording of the proposed charter amendment, is
attached hereto and speaks for itself.
ARGUMENT
A. An Iniunction Against Placing the Proposed Charter Amendment Should be Issued
Because the Charter Amentment is Unconstitutional.
Injunctive relief striking a proposed charter amendment fi.om a ballot is proper where the
proposed charter amendment is unconstitutional in its entirety. Dade County v. Dade County League
of Municipalities, 104 So.2d 512, 515-516 (Fla. 1958); see also Adams v. Gunter, 238 So.2d 824
(Fla. 1970); Dural County v. Jennings, 164 So. 356 (Fla. 1935). There is a long line of precedent for
striking invalid ballot questions. Dulaney v. City_ of Miami Beach, 96 So.2d 550, 551 (Fla. 3d DCA
1957), City of Miami Beach v. Smith, 251 So.2d 290, 292 (Fla. 3d DCA 1971), cert denied, 257
So.2d 561 (Fla. 1971). An election should not be held if the ordinance proposed is invalid on its
face. Wilson v. Dade County, 369 So.2d 1002 (Fla. 3d DCA 1979). As is more fully set forth below,
the proposed charter amendment is unconstitutional, on its face and in its entirety, and the Court
should issue an injunction directing the supervisor of elections not to place the proposed charter
amendment on the November 2, 2004 ballot.
Whether a proposed county charter provision is unconstitutional entails a two-prong test.
Violation of either or both prongs renders a charter provision unconstitutional. See Hillsborough
County v. Florida Restaurant Association, Inc., 603 So.2d 587 (Fla. 2d DCA 1992). The first prong
asks whether the charter provision's subject matter has been preempted by the constitution or general
law. Id., at 603 So.2d 588-589. If the subject matter has not been preempted, the second prong is
applied to determine whether the proposed county charter provision is inconsistent with superior law.
Id., at 603 So.2d 591. In the instant case, the proposed charter amendment primarily fails the second
prong. It violates the mandates of superior law.
1. Violation of Chapter 171.044~ Fla. Stat.
The proposed charter amendment plainly violates the mandates of Chapter 171 of the Florida
Statutes. Chapter 171, Florida Statutes, provides two section setting forth methods for
municipalities to annex territory into their jurisdiction.. Both processes for annexation are voluntary
in nature. The standard process set forth in Section 171.0413, Florida Statutes, is initiated by the
passage of an ordinance by the goveming body of the municipality which is subject to the affirmative
vote of the registered voters in the area to be annexed or if there are no voters in the area the consent
of the owners of the majority of the acreage and majority of parcels, in order to effectuate the
ordinance. Section 171.044, Florida Statutes, sets forth a procedure for property owner(s) to petition
the municipality to be annexed into the municipality when one hundred percent (100%) of the
owners of the property(ies) consent to the petition after which the municipality can pass an ordinance
annex ing the property(ies).
While Section 171.044, Florida Statutes, is captioned "Voluntary Annexation" there is no
statutory definition for "voluntary annexation" and there is no process under general law wherein an
annexation to a municipality can take place without the mutual consent of the governing body of the
municipality and at least the majority of voters voting in referendum or the majority of property
owners consenting to the annexation. Section 171.044 Florida Statutes states:
(4) The method of ] annexation provided by this Section shall be
supplemental to any other procedure provided by general or special
law, except that this section shall not apply to municipalities in
counties with charters which provide for an exclusive method of
municipal annexation.
Accordingly, unless a charter county has a charter which provides for the exclusive method of
municipal annexation, the procedures of Section 171.044, Fla. Stat. i.allow for a streamlined
annexation procedures when 100% of the property owner(s) petition to have their contiguous
compact properties annexed into an adjacent municipality. Stated in the affirmative, if a charter
county wishes to have a charter which provides for an exclusive method of municipal annexation, its
voters may elect to have such a charter, which would render the method provided by Section
171.044, Fla. Stat. inapplicable.
The proposed charter amendment in the instant case does not, by its own terms, create a
"charter which provides for an exclusive method of annexation." Instead, it creates a charter that
delegates the power to create such an exclusive method of "voluntary annexation" to the county
commission. Nowhere in the charter amendment is "voluntary annexation" defined or distinguished.
A charter provision providing for the exclusive method of annexation differs from most other
charter provisions in that a Florida Statute expressly requires that the charter itself must provide the
exclusive method of annexation. It is thus not sufficient to simply set forth certain parameters the
County Commission must follow when passing its ordinance creating the exclusive method. It is not
adequate for the charter to "authorize" the county commission to enact an exclusive method by
ordinance. It is not acceptable for the charter, as it is in most other contexts, to provide the general
framework, to be fleshed with methods and procedures by ordinance. The statute is perfectly clear in
requiring that the charter itself must provide the exclusive method. Thus the proposed charter
amendment in this case fails.
The proposed charter amendment plainly delegates to the county commission the authority,
though not the necessity, to come up with a concrete "exclusive method for voluntary annexation:"
Shall the Palm Beach County Charter be amended to authorize
an ordinance providing for the exclusive method for voluntary
annexations, including notice requirements and designation of the
area outside the urban service area as unincorporated protection area
where voluntary annexation must be approved by the county
commission, and which includes unincorporated rural neighborhoods
where voluntary annexation must be approved by the county
commission and majority vote of electors residing within the
boundaries of that neighborhood? Yes __ No
Section 1.1. of the proposed amended charter would state that the County has the "power to
establish by ordinance the exclusive method for voluntary municipal annexation..." At section 1.3.,
proposed amended charter provides that all voluntary annexations shall be in accordance with the
exclusive method for voluntary municipal annexation established by ordinance of the Board of
County Commissioners. Given that only "charters which provide for the exclusive method of
municipal annexation" can trump the general statutory provisions of Section 171.044, Florida
Statutes, concerning voluntary annexation, it is readily apparent that the proposed charter amendment
falls short.
Rather than setting forth, in the charter, what the exclusive method for voluntary annexation
will be in Palm Beach County, the proposed charter amendment would authorize the County
Commission to create by ordinance, as amended from time to time, the exclusive method of
voluntary amendment. The distinction is very significant. The statute requires that charter counties
state their exclusive methods in their charter, thus requiring a county-wide affirmative vote of the
electors for subsequent amendments. Where the law provides for citizen control over land control,
such citizen control is to be enforced. See Florida Land Co. v. City of Winter Springs, 427 So.2d
170, 173 (Fla. 1983). The proposed charter amendment would remove this power to create and
amend the exclusive method from the people and delegate it to the county commission, which is
impermissible given the clear statutory language. See also Holzendorfv. Bell, 606 So.2d 645, 648
(Fla. 1st DCA 1992) (charter amendment usurping legislature's authority to allocate referendum
powers is defective and must not be placed on ballot).
The proposed charter amendment would also authorize the County Commission to establish
(and later amend) "unincorporated protection areas" and "unincorporated rural neighborhoods,"
where voluntary annexation requires a 5-2 affirmative county commission vote.~ While the
proposed charter amendment would make certain, as not yet defined areas, eligible to become
unincorporated rural neighborhoods, additional ordinances would be required in each case to
designate such areas. Such designations, affecting the exclusive method for voluntary annexations,
all would be outside the charter framework and not be reflected in the charter. Again, Section
171.044 requires the exclusive method of municipal annexation for any given area to be stated in the
charter itself, and not to be delegated to the County' Commission's absolute discretion.
This delegation is particularly inappropriate in the instant case, where it comes without
adequate standards for its exercise. See Cross Key Waterways v. Askew, 351 So.2d 1062 (Fla. 1st
DCA 1977), aff'd. 372 So.2d 913 (Fla. 1979) (delegation of legislative power over land regulation is
defective without adequate standards for its exercise). With the proposed charter amendment in this
case, the County Commission would be free to enact, not to enact, or to later amend an ordinance
with the exclusive method, and would thereafter be free to manipulate the "unincorporated protection
~ That provision would give three county commissioners an absolute veto power over
voluntary annexation. Voluntary annexation in "unincorporated rural neighborhoods" would
additionally require approval by "a majority of the registered electors residing within the boundaries
of the unincorporated neighborhood voting on the question."
Because it is unclear whether "voting on the question" refers to "neighborhood" or to electors, it may
well be that an absolute majority of the registered voters in a given rural neighborhood is required.
Given that it is exceedingly rare that a majority of the electors even tums out to vote (only three
times, and then only barely, since 1998), voluntary annexation in those areas would become
areas" and "unincorporated rural neighborhoods" to suit its purposes. If the County Commission
were to enact such an ordinance, and if it were to reach a consensus on unincorporated protection
areas and rural neighborhoods, the County Commission would be free to accept or reject any
applications for voluntary annexations in this area without having to explain its vote in anyway. The
proposed charter amendment contains virtually no standards for the exercise of this delegated right.
An unsuccessful applicant for voluntary annexation under the proposed charter amendment would
have absolutely no recourse or avenue of review, no matter how egregious or discriminatory the
County Commission's reasons might be. Without specific standards accompanying the delegation of
this rulemaking power to the county commission, the process would quickly become the domain of
lobbyists and the politically powerful. The law simply does not permit such delegation.
Had the drafters of chapter 171.044 wanted to give this power to elected officials, they could
have done so in the statute. They could have spoken of "counties with ordinances which provide for
the exclusive method of annexation," or of"counties that wish to delegate the authority to pass an
ordinance with the exclusive method of annexation to their county commission." This they did not
do. They made it abundantly clear that the provisions of Chapter 171 could be displaced only by
"charters which provide for the exclusive method." As the Fourth District stated when considering a
charter amendment in Shulmeister v. Larkins, 856 So.2d 1149, 1151 (Fla. 4th DCA 2003), "[t]he
language in Section 22 [of the charter] is plain and obvious. Therefore, we are precluded from
construing it in a way which would extend, modify, or limit its express terms or its reasonable and
obvious implications." See Donato v. Am. Tel. & Tel. Co., 767 So.2d 1146, 1150 (Fla. 2000)." If
the legislators had intended to include county commission ordinances as a valid method to trump
Section 171.044, they could have done so by clear language.
practically impossible.
A good example of how such a charter amendment could be properly accomplished is the
Orange County Voluntary Annexation Provision. Copy of Section 505 -- Voluntary annexation - is
attached as Exhibit "B" . This charter provision does exactly what the proposed Palm Beach
County charter amendment fails to do:
a. It sets forth, in the charter, what the exclusive method for voluntary annexation will
be. It does not provide for authority to the county commission to subsequently create the exclusive
method by ordinance;
b. It then creates, by subsequent charter amendments, three separate preservation
districts. The preservation districts are precisely defined, by boundary maps clearly referenced, and
are in each case voted on by county-wide referendum;
c. Voluntary annexation in the protection district must be approved by a simple majority
of the county commission, and by a majority of the registered electors residing in the preservation
district and actually voting on the issue.
d. The board of county commissioners is then given authority to adopt "regulations and
procedures to implement this method of voluntary annexation."
e. The charter provision, as accepted by Orange County voters in 1992, concerned only
one single subject, the creation of a method of voluntary annexation for preservation district
specifically designated in the charter. Designation of special areas happened later in separate charter
amendments.
The Orange County charter provision demonstrates that it is feasible to follow the dictates of
Section 171.044, and to set forth the exclusive method in the charter. While the Orange County
charter may have its own weaknesses, it does appear to try to follow the directives of the Florida
12
Statute. The Palm Beach County charter amendment does not.
2. Violation of the Single Subject Requirement in the Palm Beach County Charter.
Another superior law violated by the proposed ballot language is Palm Beach County's own
charter. At Article VI, Section 6.3 of Palm Beach County's Charter (Home Rule Charter
Amendments), the Charter states that "[e]ach amendment to this Home Rule Charter shall be limited
to a single and independent subject." The ballot ordinance places the following question on the
ballot:
Shall the Palm Beach County Charter be mended to authorize
an ordinance providing for the exclusive method for voluntary
annexations, including notice requirements and designation of the
area outside the urban service area as unincorporated protection area
where voluntary annexation must be approved by the county
commission, and which includes unincorporated rural neighborhoods
where voluntary annexation must be approved by the county
commission and majority vote of electors residing within the
boundaries of that neighborhood? Yes __ No
An analysis of the proposed charter amendment, as set forth in the ballot ordinance, demonstrates
that the proposed charter amendment concerns at least three separate subjects, has numerous
purposes, and purports to enumerate several classifications of land areas that would be disparately
affected by the proposed charter amendment. The amendment thus violates Article VI, Section
6.3.of the Palm Beach County Charter.
Among the disparate questions and land classifications made in the proposed amendment are
the following:
a. Shall the County charter be amended to authorize the county commission to
pass an ordinance providing for the exclusive method of voluntary annexation?
b. Shall the County charter be amended to authorize the County Commission to
pass an ordinance designating an unincorporated protection area where voluntary annexations would
3.3
later have to be approved by a super-majority vote of the Board of County Commissioners?
c. Shall the County charter be amended to authorize the County Commission to
pass an ordinance establishing areas eligible to become unincorporated rural neighborhoods, where
voluntary annexations would later have to be approved by a super-majority of the Board of County
Commissioners and additionally by a majority vote of the electors residing in the neighborhood so
designated by the Commission.
Single-subject provisions in charters are strictly construed. See Shulmeister v. Larkins, 856
So.2d 1149 (Fla. 4th DCA 2003) (Pompano Beach City Charter including single-subject requirement
for ordinances and resolutions, only). There can be no doubt that the Palm Beach County Charter
contains a single-subject requirement for charter amendments. The sole issue is, therefore, whether
the proposed charter amendment contains more than one subject.
The seminal Florida case on this subject is Fine v. Firestone, 448 So.2d 984 (Fla. 1984). The
purpose of the single-subject rule, it was explained, is to avoid voters having to accept part of a
proposal which they oppose in order to obtain a change which they support. Id.~. The crucial question
is whether a given proposal has a"logical and natural oneness of purpose." See Fine v. Firestone, at
448 So.2d 984, 988 (1984). Perhaps the most instructive case for purposes of the instant controversy
is In Re: Advisory_ Opinion to the Attorney General- Restricts Laws Related to Discrimination, 632
So.2d 1018 (Fla. 1994), where the Florida Supreme Court agreed that it had to consider whether
there is a "oneness in purpose" in the proposed amendment. Id. at 1020. The Florida Supreme
Court emphasized that "enfolding disparate subjects within the cloak of a broad generality does not
satisfy the single0-subject requirement." Id.; see also _Evans v. Firestone, 457 So.2d 1351, 1353 (Fla.
1984). Thus, while a "single purpose" can be found for every ballot proposal from sufficient
intellectual distance, the law requires scrutiny up close. With every word in the proposal considered,
the proposal must include no more than one single dominant plan. See In Re Advisory_ Opinion of
the Attorney General, 592 So.2d 225,227 (Fla. 1991).
In Fine, supra, the Florida Supreme Court disapproved a proposed amendment that
characterized the provisions as affecting the single subject of revenues because it actually affected
the government's ability to tax, government user-fee operations, and funding of capital
improvements through revenue bonds. In the case of In Re: Advisory Opinion to the Attorney
General - Restricts Laws Related to Discrimination, 632 So.2d 1018 (Fla. 1994), a proposed
amendment was struck as violative of the single-subject rule because the subject of the amendment-
discrimination- was an expansive generality that encompassed both civil rights and the power of all
state and local governmental bodies. Id. at 1020. The amendment was struck fi.om the ballot
because it encroached on municipal home rule powers and rulemaking authority of executive
agencies and the judiciary. Similarly, the proposed charter amendment in the instant case gives the
County commission the power to designate, as it pleases, three separate areas (a) unincorporated
protection areas, (b) unincorporated urban neighborhoods, and (c) the remaining areas of Palm Beach
County), and to provide disparate methods of voluntary annexation for each such area. The proposed
charter amendment encroaches on municipal home rule powers in that it essentially prevents cities
like Wellington fi.om performing essential municipal functions (determination of its borders) to a
large extent. It also severely curtails private property rights, given that a property owner in an
unincorporated area contiguous to a municipality would no longer have an independent right to
decide whether or not to be annexed by that municipality.
The purpose of the proposed charter amendment, on its face, is to give authority to the
County commission to create and presumably amend an ordinance. However, Palm Beach County
Commissioner Massilotti announced the purpose of the charter amendment to be as follows during
the County Commission Meeting on August 17, 2004:
Let's kinda cut to the chase, folks, this was put together to protect the
Acreage and Loxahatchee because of Wellington's attempt to annex
GKK mines, and give it 2,400 building units, and then, local
newspapers reporting that they really weren't gonna do that .... So
this is not about let's protect our rights and get rid [unintelligible]
places. This is about a couple of cities trying to gobble up 130,000
acres and change the zoning on behalf of a couple of large
landowners, and create problems for this board to deal with, and their
elected officials to complain that the county commissioners aren't
building roads and schools fast enough, and aren't supporting the
park system. Well, it is really hard to build roads and schools and
parks and the other responsibilities fi:om the school board and the
counties' perspective, when in fact re-zoning is nmning rampant in
areas, and areas that were zoned two homes an acre mm into fourteen
homes an acre or multi-family. It's very difficult for this board to
keep up with the needs of the county residents for fire rescue when in
fact folks are annexing in and rezoning large chunks of property,
without phase-in, without proper notification.

Commission Chairwoman Karen Marcus saw a somewhat different purpose
for the charter amendment.
We started to doing it because of what happened with, as
commissioner Massilotti described, the Wellington area. We saw a
threat to our rural communities, Loxahatchee.
Transcript of Commission Meeting of August 17, 2004, at pp
Commissioner Koons stated, on his County Web Site, that the purpose of the proposed
referendum is to provide
·.. a method of voluntary annexation for western residential areas.
If approved, unincorporated communities such as Loxahatchee and
The Acreage would be designated as "rural neighborhoods" and could
not be annexed by a municipality without residents' approval and that
of at least five County Commissioners (super majority). It provides
an additional level of protection for areas that may not want to
become part of a city.
http://pbcgov.com/PublnfNews__Room/08-04/08-25-04_ballot.htm
Meanwhile, County Attorney Bob Banks conceded that the charter amendment would
authorize the County Commission to impose procedural requirements for voluntary annexations in
the in the urban service area (i.e. the rest of the county outside the "unincorporated protection area"
and"unincorporated rural neighborhoods"). See transcript of Commission Meeting of August 17, at
PP.
It is patently obvious, that the proposed charter amendment does not have a"single purpose"
as required by law. A plain reading of the charter amendment language suggests that the purpose is
to give the county commission authority to enact ordinances, coveting the entire County, designating
annexation methods, to designate unincorporated protection areas, and to designate as of yet
unknown areas to be eligible to become "unincorporated rural area". Commissioner Massilotti
perceives the purpose of the charter amendment to be the protection of over-stretched county
resources. Commissioners Marcus and Koons see the purpose as "protection of rural neighborhoods"
fi.om takeovers by communities such as Wellington, and represented publicly that the charter
amendment will not affect the urbanized cities in the east of the County. County Attorney Banks sees
as an additional purpose the establishment of notice provisions in urban areas.
The proponents of this ballot amendment could have followed the mandates of the single-
subject rule and drafted the proposed amendment in several ballot questions, so as to enable voters to
accept the amendment they truly want. Yet they chose to log-roll a host of separate purposes into a
charter amendment that accomplishes numerous purposes. It appears that the multiplicity of subjects
was bom out of the County Commission's desire to create obstacles to voluntary annexation of
17
varying height, reserving unto itself maximum discretion to prevent annexation in unincorporated
areas, or at least to extract the maximum price fi.om any party attempting annexation. As has become
abundantly clear in recent months fi.om the County's collateral efforts to amend its Comprehensive
Land Use Plan, the County wants to block any municipality fi.om providing services in heretofore
unincorporated and unserviced areas. One way to accomplish that goal, is to block annexation of
such unserviced areas in the west, because annexation usually leads to providing services by the
annexing municipality. The County has made it abundantly clear that it intends to sell its services, in
the furore, in most of today's unincorporated areas, including the eagerly anticipated Scripps research
campus. One could say, thus, that the genesis of the County's charter amendment efforts lie in the
Scripps-driven efforts of the County to monopolize the sale of services in the unincorporated urban
Although the proposed charter amendment in the instant case is offered as a single
amendment to the charter, it is obviously multifarious. It does not give the electorate the oppommity
to express approval or disapproval severally as to each major change suggested. Adams v. Gunter,
238 So.2d 824 (Fla. 1970); Rivera-Cruz v. Gray, 104 So.2d 501 (1958). The ballot question as
presented to the Palm Beach County voters requires them to accept or reject all of the proposed
amendment in toto, granting broad authority to the Commission to adopt an as-yet-unknown
ordinance serving numerous purposes. Even though the voters may be in favor of creating, in the
charter, an exclusive method of voluntary annexation, they may not want to be part of an
unicorpoarated rural neighborhood, or they may not want to be excluded at some time in the future
when the urban service boundary is moved. Yet, this proposed charter amendment requires them to
accept all purposes if they only want one. The Palm Beach County voter is basically asked to give
one yes or no answer to a proposal that asks three or more questions. See In Re: Advisory Opinion
to the Attorney General- Restricts Laws Related to Discrimination, 632 So.2d 1018 (Fla. 1994). For
example, a Palm Beach County Voter may want to have an exclusive method of voluntary
annexation for the entire county, but may not want to give the power to enact it to the County
Commission. Another voter may like the concept of county commission approval of voluntary
annexations, but may not like the areas to be designated for special status. The proposed charter
amendment clearly violates the single subject rule, and the ballot question is thus unconstitutional.
3. Violation of Fla. Stat 101.161 for Failure to Advise Voters of Chief Purpose of
the Proposed Amendment.
To be placed on the ballot, the ballot summary also must be legally sufficient under Section
101.161, Fla. Stat (2003).
Subsection 101.161 (1) provides, in pertinent part:
Whenever a constitutional amendment or other public
measure is submitted to the vote of the people, the substance of such
amendment or other public measure shall be printed in clear and
unambiguous language on the ballot . . . the substance of the
amendment or other public measure shall be an explanatory
statement, not exceeding 75 words in length, of the chief purpose of
the measure. The ballot title shall consist of a caption, not exceeding
15 words in length, by which the measure is commonly referred to or
spoken of.
The purpose of section 101.161 is "to assure that the electorate is advised of the tree
meaning, and ramifications, of an amendment." Askew v. Firestone, 421 So.2d 151, 156 (Fla. 1982).
The Florida Supreme Court has cautioned against approving the validity of a ballot summary that is
not clearly understandable. In Re: Advisory_ Opinion to the Attorney General - Restricts Laws
Related to Discrimination, 632 So.2d 1018, 1021 (Fla. 1994.
The critical issue conceming the language of the ballot summary is whether the public has
"fair notice" of the meaning and effect of the proposed amendment. Id__:. In the instant case, the
public has neither.
a. The Meaning of the Ballot Summary and the Ballot Amendment in General is
Ambiguous.
Even a cursory reading of the ballot summary raises numerous questions concerning the
meaning of the proposed amendment, which simply cannot be answered or understood by reference
to the text of the proposed amendment:
EXCLUSIVE METHOD OF VOLUNTARY ANNEXATION IN
PALM BEACH COUNTY
Shall the Palm Beach County Charter be amended to authorize
an ordinance providing for the exclusive method for voluntary
annexations, including notice requirements and designation of the
area outside the urban service area as unincorporated protection area
where voluntary annexation must be approved by the county
commission, and which includes unincorporated rural neighborhoods
where voluntary annexation must be approved by the county
commission and majority vote of electors residing within the
boundaries of that neighborhood? Yes __ No
Some of the obvious ambiguities are as follows:
i. Does the Palm Beach County Commission have an obligation to pass such an
ordinance if the charter amendment is approved?
ii. Does the clause "and which includes unincorporated neighborhoods..." refer to the
"the exclusive method of voluntary annexation," to "the unincorporated protection
area," or to the "ordinance"?
iii. Does the term "including" refer to "ordinance", to "amended", to "charter" or to
"exclusive method"?
iv. What will the exclusive method of annexation outside the "unincorporated protection
area" and the "unincorporated rural neighborhood" be?
v. Who decides which areas are to become "unincorporated rural neighborhoods," and
20
what does it mean that areas become "eligible" to become "unincorporated rural
neighborhoods."
vi. How can any given elector determine what the exclusive method of annexation for
his/her unincorporated property will be if the proposed amendment is adopted?
vii. Does this charter amendment give the county commission the power to later place
property currently in the urban service areas (i.e. not in the "unincorporated
protection area" or the "unincorporated rural neighborhood") in the protected areas,
and thereby subjecting such property to annexation restrictions that do not apply at
the time of the vote?
viii. Does this charter amendment give the county commission the right to approve
annexations with a 5:2 supermajority vote over the objection of the annexing
municipality (i.e. forced annexation)?
ix. Does this amendment really provide for the exclusive method of voluntary
annexation in Palm Beach County, or only in certain portions of Palm Beach County?
It is blatantly obvious that the title and the summary of the ballot measure do not give the
voters "fair notice" of the meaning of the proposed amendment, thus violating Section 101.161 (1),
Fla. Stat.
b. The Effect of the Proposed Charter Amendment is Completely Unclear.
As is clear from the questions in the preceding section, it is entirely impossible for a voter to
determine from the ballot language whether he/she would be affected by the exclusive method the
County Commission may adopt at some time in the future. More significantly, the County
Commission has insisted that this amendment does not concern, as the ballot title suggests, all of
Palm Bach County. During the August 17, 2004 County Commission meeting, and in deciding
21
whether or not to submit this charter amendment to the voters of Palm Beach County, Council
chairwoman Karen Marcus stated:
Commissioner Marcus: Let me make sure that we understand that
this [ballot] ordinance does not affect any one of those [Palm Beach
County] cities that got up here and talked to us. None. Correct?
Staff.' Correct.
Transcript of Commission Meeting of August 17, 2004, at pp
Commissioner Greene: Let me ask you a question, make sure the
public understands. This is not going to affect what [Palm Beach
County Cities] cities?
Commissioner Marcus: Any cities, other than Royal Palm Beach
and Wellington, and all it affects them is they can't keep going further
west.
Transcript of Commission Meeting of August 17, 2004, at pp
Not only was Commissioners Marcus' statement blatantly false, but the stated effect appears
nowhere in the ballot language. For practical purposes, the ballot language renders even an educated
voter incapable to determine what the tree effect of the ballot measure would be. The "tree meaning
and ramifications of the Amendment" are absolutely impossible to determine from this ballot
proposal. Askew v. Firestone, 421 So.2d 151, 156 (Fla. 1982). As such, the proposed charter
amendment violates Section 101.161 (2003). The proposed charter amendment must be stricken
from the November 2, 2004 ballot.
CONCLUSION
For the foregoing reasons, Plaintiff respectfully requests that this Court enter an injunction
preventing the proposed charter amendment from being placed on the November 2, 2004 ballot, and
grant such other and further relief as the Court deems necessary and proper.
22
REQUEST FOR EXPEDITED HEARING
Given the impending November 2, 2004 election, and given the paucity of factual issues to be
developed in discovery, Plaintiff respectfully requests an expedited hearing on this matter.

SUBJECT: MEETING OF OCTOBER 5, 2004
CITY-INITIATED REZONING FROM GC (GENERAL COMMERCIAL) TO CBD
(CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT) FOR PROPERTIES GENERALLY LOCATED ON
THE NORTH AND SOUTH SIDES OF WEST ATLANTIC AVENUE BE~EEN NW/SW
IsT AVENUE (100 BLOCK) AND NW/SW 12TM AVENUE (1200 BLOCK) WITHIN THE
WEST ATLANTIC AVENUE OVERLAY DISTRICT.
The rezoning is associated with a City initiated Futura Land Use Map Amendment from GC (General
Commercial) to CC (Commemial Core) which is being processed in conjunction with the City's annual
Comprehensive Plan Amendment 2004-2 and is scheduled for second reading at the City Commission
meeting on October 19, 2004. The FLUM amendment and rezoning are being processed in response
to direction provided in the adopted Downtown Delray Beach Master Plan. The Plan establishes a
blueprint for the revitalization and unification of the City's downtown area, which is generally defined as
the entire business corridor from 1-95 to Ocean Boulevard (A-l-A). The pmpe~ies in question are
located within the West Atlantic Neighborhood, which includes the West Atlantic Avenue
Redevelopment Area and is currently zoned GC. The proposal is for the downtown area to have the
same zoning designation, which is CBD. The FLUM amendment and mzoning originally included the
potion of the tennis center property that fronts Atlantic Avenue; however, due to deed restrictions that
limit the development of the prope~y, the tennis center properly is being eliminated from this
Comprehensive Plan Amendment. Rezoning of a potion of the pmpe~y to CBD may be considered
with a future Comprehensive Plan Amendment.
At its meeting of June 22, 2004, the City Commission unanimously approved this rezoning request on
first reading; however the rezoning was not properly adve~ised. The ordinance has been properly
adve~ised and is now before the Commission for fimt reading of the ordinance. A full analysis of the
proposed FLUM amendment and rezoning is provided in the attached Planning and Zoning Board staff
repo~.
At its meeting of M~y ~ 7, 2004, the PIsnning ~nd Zoning Board held ~ public he~ring on this item in
conjunction with Comprehensive Plan Amendment 2004-2. There w~s public testimony in opposition to
the request that primarily related to concerns with displacing residences ~nd prope~y owners being
forced to sell their prope~ies for redevelopment. It w~s fu~her explained that the rezoning of the
existing commercially zoned prope~ies to CBD w~s to ~pply one zoning designation for the downtOWn
8re~ ~nd thst it w~s not 8ssocisted with ~ny specific development proposel. The Board voted 4-0 (Pike,
Sow~rds & W~lker ~bsent) to recommend ~pprov~l of the proposed rezoning.
Move to approve on first reading the rezoning from GC (General Commercial) to CBD (Central
Business District), by adopting the findings of fact and law contained in the staff repod, and finding that
the request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and meets criteria set fo~h in Section
2.4.5(D)(5) and Chapter 3 of the Land Development Regulations, with second reading to occur on and
October 19, 2004.

The action before the Board is that of making a recommendation to the City Commission on
a City initiated Future Land Use Map Amendment from GC (General Commemial) in part and
CF-P (Community Facilities-Public Buildings) in part to CC (Commercial Core) and Rezoning
from GC (General Commercial) in part and CF (Community Facilities) in part to CBD (Central
Business District) for properties generally located on the north and south sides of WeSt
Atlantic Avenue between NW/SW Ist Avenue (100 Block) and NW/SW 12th Avenue (1200
Block) within the West Atlantic Avenue Overlay District.
Pursuant to Section 2.2.2(E) of the Land Development Regulations, the Planning and Zoning
Board shall review and make a recommendation to the City Commission with respect to
FLUM Amendments or Rezoning of any property within the City.
At its meeting of March 19, 2002, the City Commission adopted the Downtown Delray Beach
Master Plan, which establishes a blueprint for the revitalization and unification of the City's
downtown area. This area is generally defined as the entire business corridor from i-95 to
Ocean Boulevard (A-l-A). The Master Plan divides the downtown business area into three
districts, the West Atlantic Neighborhood from Interstate 95 to Swinton Avenue, the Central
Core District, from Swinton Avenue to the Intracoastal Waterway and the Beach District, east
of the Intracoastal Waterway to the beach. The Master Plan includes several general
recommendations and a sedes of proposals for each of the three districts. Future
development in the area must be in accordance with the provisions of both the Downtown
Delray Beach MaSter Plan and the West Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment Plan (adopted in
1995).
The properties in question are located within the West At/antic Neighborhood, which includes
the West Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment Area. The properties currently zoned GC (General
Commercial) encompass 41.81 acres, while the property zoned CF (Community Facilities)
involves 1.07 acres (42.88 acres total).
REQUIRED FINDINGS:
LDR {Chapter 3) PERFORMANCE STANDARDS:
Pursuant to Section 3.1.1 (Required Findings), prior to approval of Land Use
applications, certain findings must be made in a form which is part of the official
record. This may be achieved through information on the application, written
materials submitted by the applicant, the staff report, or minutes. Findings shall be
made by the body which has the authority to approve or deny the development
application. These findings relate to the Future Land Use Map, Concurrency,
Comprehensive Plan Consistency, and Compliance with the Land Development
Regulations.
Planning and zoning Board Staff report
FLUM Amendment and Rezoning to CBD- West Atlantic Avenue Overlay District
Page 2
Future Land Use Map: The resulting use of land or structures must be allowed in the
zoning district within which the land is situated and said zoning must be consistent
with the applicable land use designation as shown on the Future Land Use Map.
The FLUM designations and zoning classifications for the subject properties are being
amended pursuant to the adopted Downtown Delray Beach Master Plan. The proposed
FLUM amendments will assign a Future Land Use Map designation of CC (Commercial
Core) and the proposed rezoning to CBD (Central Business District) is consistent with this
FLUM designation. These changes will apply the same zoning designation that currently
exists for the downtown area, east of Swinton Avenue (CBD). The CBD and GC zoning
districts accommodate mixed-use development. The CBD zoning is consistent with the CC
FLUM designation. Thus, positive findings can be made regarding consistency of the FLUM
and zoning designations.
The remaining required findings of LDR Section 3.1.1, Concurrency, Comprehensive Plan
Consistency and Compliance with the Land Development Regulations are discussed
below.
Future Land Use Element Policy A-1.7: Amendments to the Future Land Use Map
(FLUM) must be based upon the findings listed below, and must be supported by data
and analysis that demonstrate compliance with these findings:
· Demonstrated Need -- That there is a need for the requested land use. The need
must be based upon circumstances such as shifts in demographic trends, changes
in the availability of land, changes in the existing character and FLUM designations
of the surrounding area, fulfillment of a comprehensive plan objective or policy,
annexation into the municipal boundaries, or similar circumstances. The need
must be supported by data and analysis verifying the changing demographics or
other circumstances. This requirement shall not apply to requests for the FLUM
designations of Conservation or Recreation and Open Space; nor shall it apply to
FLUM changes associated with annexations when the City's advisory FLUM
designation is being applied, or when the requested designation is of a similar
intensity to the advisory designation. However, the findings described in the
remainder of this policy must be addressed with all FLUM amendments.
The adopted Downtown Delray Beach Master Plan includes recommendatiOns` for
redevelopment of the subject properties. The proposed FLUM amendments and
associated rezonings will fulfill the following policies:
Future Land Use Element Policy C-4.2 The "Downtown Delray Beach Master Plan"
was adopted by the City Commission on March 19, 2002. Covering the downtown
business districts surrounding the Atlantic Avenue corddor between 1-95 and A-l-A, it
represents the citizens' vision for the growth and unification of Delray Beach, while still
retaining the 'Village like, community by-the-sea" character of the CBD. The Plan
addresses a wide range of issues including infiil development, neighborhood parks,
shared parking, public art, the roadway and alleyway systems, marketing/economic
development, and the need to. modify the Land Development Regulations to include
design guidelines to retain the character of Delray Beach. Future development and
redevelopment in this area shall be consistent with the Master Plan.
Planning and zoning Board Staff report
FLUM Amendment and Rezoning to CBD- West Atlantic Avenue Overlay District
Page 3
The above policy and adopted Downtown Delray Beach Master Plan characterizes the
City's downtown area as the commercial areas surrounding the Atlantic Avenue corridor,
between 1-95 and State Road A-1-A (Ocean Boulevard). The Master Plan is the Citizens'
vision for the growth and unification of Delray Beach. It represents the ultimate growth
and form of the community and the creation of a recognizable and seamless center for
our city. During the development of the Master Plan three neighborhoods and districts
were identified for the downtown area: The West Atlantic Neighborhood, The Central
Core, and the.Beach District. The goal is to include these districts within one zoning
classification - the CBD (Central Business District). Besides the changes to the
commercial designation, the Master Plan includes general recommendations and a
series of proposals for each of the districts, which includes the Tennis Center frontage
associated with the FLUM amendment and Rezoning request.
The Master Plan specifically addresses the parking lot in front of the Tennis Center and
the need for filling in this gap along the Avenue. The parking lot is seldom used to its
maximum capacity, except dudng special events and for a few days dudng the season.
While the Center is a positive addition to the City, the 600' expanse of parking along
Atlantic Avenue interrupts the urban fabric and is not conducive to a pedestrian friendly
environment. This unfriendly environment impacts the physical structure of the Avenue
and acts as a barrier between the West Atlantic Neighborhood and the Commercial
Core, which reinforces the perceived social barriers.
The Master Plan proposes the construction of three liner buildings on this parking lot
fronting the Avenue, and the creation of a plaza in front of the existing Tennis Center
clubhouse building. However, the CF regulations do not accommodate the mix of
commercial and residential uses envisioned for this. frontage. Improvements pursuant to
the Plan will have a positive influence and will make the pedestrian transition between
the two districts more inviting and uninterrupted.
in addition to the above, a directive of the Downtown Delray Beach Master Plan was to
create design guidelines (LDRs) to guide future development in the downtown area in a
manner that will preserve the character of the area. The City has recently adopted the
design guidelines which have requirements that relate specifically to the three districts
referenced above. The intent is apply one zoning designation (CBD) for the downtown
area, which will have the three distinctive sub-areas/districts. The adoption of the design
guidelines and the proposed rezoning to CBD are just couple of the many
recommendations and strategies called for in the Plan to address goal for unity, while
guiding the revitalization and redevelopment of the City's downtown.
Future Land Use Element Policy C-1.5: The'following pertains to the Atlantic AVenue
Redevelopment Area:
This area extends in a corridor along Atlantic Avenue eastward from 1-95 to Swinton
Avenue. The present land uses in this area include single family homes, duplexes, mini-
parks, commercial uses along Atlantic Avenue and N.W. 5th Avenue, and scattered
vacant parcels.
The West Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment Plan was adopted by the City Commission on
July 11, 1995. The plan establishes Future Land Use Map designations, zonings,
Planning and zoning Board Staff report
FLUM Amendment and Rezoning to CBD- West Atlantic Avenue Overlay District
Page 4
special development standards, and design guidelines for the Redevelopment Area.
Future development in the area must be in accordance with the provisions of the
redevelopment plan...
The plan calls for pedestrian orientation and no parking between structures and the
Atlantic Avenue right-of-way, with a preference for parking located to the rear of any
structure. While the parking at the tennis center was not specifically referenced within the
West Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment Plan, the Plan generated conceptual plans for
each block with commercial zoning along the Avenue. These plans were based upon
vital, urban design principles including the principle that buildings on the Avenue should
be situated adjacent to the public, pedestrian sidewalk, and parking should be placed in
the rear.
· Consistency -- The requested designation is consistent with the goals, objectives
and policies of the most recently adopted Comprehensive Plan.
As stated above, the proposal will be consistent with the goals, objectives and policies of
the City's Comprehensive Plan as it relates to Future Land Use Element Policies C-1.5
and C-4.2, the adopted Downtown Delray Beach Master Plan, and the adopted West
Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment Plan.
· Concurrency -- Development at the highest intensity possible under the requested
designation can meet the adopted concurrency standards.
The proposed FLUM amendment from GC and CF-P to CC and Rezoning from GC and
CF to CBD will accommodate development at the same intensity as that which can occur
under the current designations, in essence, the change is from one commercial
designation to another with the same development potential. Development under either
the GC or CBD scenario will accommodate the same intensity of development consistent
with the adopted Downtown Delray Beach Master Plan and West Atlantic Avenue
Redevelopment Plan. With regard to the tennis center frontage, the CF zoning currently
allows similar and even more intense uses than are accommodated within the proposed
CBD zoning district. The uses allowed under the CF-P (Community Facilities - Public
Buildings) Future Land Use Map designation and the CF zoning district can
accommodate large venues that are more regionally-oriented from a traffic perspective
(i.e. the Tennis Center Stadium) while the uses allowed in the CBD are typically more
locally oriented.
City facilities such as water, sewer, and drainage have sufficient capacity, to handle
development of this area at the potential development intensity allowed under the
proPOsed CC FLUM designation. Similarly, solid waste can be accommodated by existing
County facilities. As the majority of the properties are located in the TCEA
(Transportation Concurrency Exception Area) and are changing to a land use designation
of similar development potential, traffic is not an issue.
The Open Space and Recreation Element of the Comprehensive Plan indicates in its
conclusion that "The City will have sufficient recreation facilities at build-out to meet the
adopted standards': A park impact fee is collected to offset any impacts that individual
projects may have on the City's recreational facilities. Pursuant to LDR Section 5.3.2, a
Planning and zoning Board Staff report
FLUM Amendment and Rezoning to CBD-- West Atlantic Avenue Overlay District
Page 5
park impact fee of $500.00 per dwelling unit will be collected prior to issuance of a
building permit for each residential unit. School concurrency will be addressed with future
proposals for residential development; however no problems are anticipated.
Thus, positive findings can be made at this time with regard to concurrency for all
services and facilities.
· Compatibility - The requested designation will be compatible with the existing and
future land uses of the surrounding area.
As previously stated, the FLUM amendments and rezonings for these properties generally
involve the change in zoning from one commercial zoning designation to another with the
same development potential. The proposal does not expand the commercial boundaries
from those that currently exist, except with regard to the tennis center frontage, which is
within the commercial corridor. --
Based upon the above, the proposed FLUM amendments and Rezoning to CBD are
compatible with the existing and future land uses of the surrounding area, and a positive
finding with respect to compatibility can be made.
· Compliance -- Development under the requested designation will comply with the
provisions and requirements of the Land Development Regulations.
All future development within the requested designation shall comply with the provisions
and requirements of the Land Development Regulations. Compliance with the Land
Development Regulations will be further addressed with review of a conditional use or site
plan request as applicable.
REQUIRED FINDINGS (Chapter 3):
Pursuant to Section 3.1.1 (Required Findings), prior to approval of development
applications, certain findings must be made in a form which is part of the official
record. This may be achieved through information on the application, written
materials submitted by the applicant, the staff report, or minutes. Findings shall be
made by the body which has the authority to approve or deny the development
application. These findings relate to the Future Land Use Map, Concurrency,
Comprehensive Plan Consistency, and Compliance with the Land Development
Regulations.
Future Land Use Map, Concurrency and Comprehensive Plan Consistency were
previously discussed under the "Future Land. Use Map Amendment Analysis" section of this
report. Compliance with the Land Development Regulations with respect to Standards
for Rezoning Actions and Rezoning Findings are discussed below.
Section 3.2.1 (Basis for Determinin.q Consistency): The performance standards set
forth in this Article either reflect a policy from the Comprehensive Plan or a principle
of good planning practice. The performance standards set forth in the following
Planning and zoning Board Staff report
FLUM Amendment and Rezoning to CBD- West Atlantic Avenue Overlay District
Page 6
sections as well as compliance with items specifically listed as required findings in
appropriate portions of Section 2.4.5 shall be the basis upon which a finding of overall
consistency [Section 3.1.'1 (C)] is to be made. However, exclusion from this Article shall
not be a basis for not allowing consideration of other objectives and policies found in
the adopted Comprehensive Plan in the making of a finding of overall consistency.
Section 3.2.2 {Standards for Rezoninq Actions): Standards A, B, C and E are not
applicable with .respect to the rezoning requests. The applicable performance
standard of Section 3.2.2 is as follows:
(D) That the rezoning shall result in allowing land uses which are deemed
compatible with adjacent and nearby land uses both existing and proposed; or
that if an incompatibility may occur, that sufficient regulations exist to properly
mitigate adverse impacts from the new use.
As previously stated, the FLUM designations and zoning classifications for the subject
properties are being amended pursuant to the adopted Downtown Delray Beach
Master Plan. As discussed under Future Land Use Element Policy A-1.7, the
proposed FLUM and zoning designations are compatible with the existing and future
land uses of the surrounding area, and a positive finding with respect to compatibility
can be made. Also, there are development regulations currently in place to mitigate
any potential impacts with adjacent properties.
Section 2.4.5(D)(5) (Rezonin.q Findin_qs):
Pursuant to Section 2.4.5(D)(5) (Findings), in addition to provisions of Section 3.1.1,
the City Commission must make a finding that the rezoning fulfills one of the reasons
for which the rezoning change is being sought. These reasons include the following:
a. That the zoning had previously been changed, or was originally established, in
error;
b. That there has been a change in circumstances which make the current zoning
inappropriate;
c. That the requested zoning is of similar intensity as allowed under the Future
Land Use Map and that it is more appropriate for the property based upon
circumstances particular to the site and/or neighborhood.
The appropriate reasons for the proposed rezonings are "b" and "c": based on the following:
The proposed rezonings are required to implement the provisions of the Downtown Delray
Beach Master Plan. In order to implement the development scenarios identified in the Plan,
rezoning of the subject properties is appropriate as there has been a change in
circumstances which make the current zoning inappropriate. The requested zoning is of
similar intensity and is more appropriate given the direction identified in the Comprehensive
Plan.

SUBJECT: MEETING OF OCTOBER 5, 2004
CITY INITIATED AMENDMENT TO THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS
APPENDIX "A" TO PROVIDE A DEFINITION OF "ADULT GAMING CENTER",
"COIN-OPERATED AMUSEMENT DEVICES" AND "SLOT MACHINES" AND
ENACTING A NEW SUBSECTION 4.3.3(AAA), "ADULT GAMING CENTERS", AND
CLARIFYING THAT ADULT GAMING CENTERS ARE CONDITIONAL USES IN THE
GENERALCOMMERCIAL (GC) AND PLANNED COMMERCIAL (PC) ZONING
DISTRICTS.
On December 15, 2003, the Planning and Zoning Board considered a conditional use request to
establish an adult arcade amusement center within 4,200 square feet (three bays) of the shopping
center at the southeast corner of Military Trail and Linton Boulevard (Boca Ray Plaza).
During the analysis of that request the issue of whether this type of use would be considered gambling
or not was discussed. The applicant's accompanying narrative a~tempted to explain how the coin
operated amusement facility met the definition of "Arcade Amusement Center" as described in Florida
State Statute 846.161. Pursuant to Florida Statute 846.161, an Arcade Amusement Center is "a
business that contains machines that operate by means of the insertion of a coin and which by
application of skill may entitle the person playing or operating the game or machine to receive points or
coupons which may be exchanged for merchandise only, excluding cash and alcoholic beverages,
provided the cost value of the merchandise or prize awarded in exchange for such points or coupons
does not exceed 75 cents on any game played." The "STOP" buttons described in the applicant's
narrative are construed to be the skill, wherein, the operator decides when to stop icons on a screen.
The statutes relating to prohibition of gambling are not applicable to facilities that meet this definition.
Given the current regulations the City Commission approved the Spinners Arcade request at their
meeting of January 6, 2004.
At that time, similar operations in the State of Florida, more notably in the County of Sarasota were
being reviewed by the courts to determine whether they met the definition of Arcade Amusement
Facility and are therefore exempt from Florida's prohibition on gambling. Given the legal review of this
type of use, a four month moratorium, pursuant to Florida Statute 166.021, was established to allow
adequate time for the courts to render their decision.
At its meeting of March 11, 2004, the City Commission approved an ordinance (Ord. No. 13-04)
establishing a four month moratorium for Adult Arcade Establishments to enable staff to study the
impacts of the use and develop criteria to establish the use. On May 12, 2004, according to State v.
Cyphers, 2004 WL 1057797 (Fla. 2nd DCA 2004) (appealed from a decision of the Circuit Court of
Sarasota County), the Second District Court of Appeals held that the gambling exemptions of
§849.161 (1)(a)(1), Fla. Stat. are valid exceptions to the gambling prohibitions of §849.01 and 849.15,
Fla. Stat. On July 20, 2004, the City Commission approved an ordinance (Ord. No. 37-04) extending
the moratorium for 90 days (October 20, 2004) to complete the LDR amendments.
The intent of this ordinance is to regulate gaming centers that oftentimes mimic the look and
atmosphere of gambling venues, but are operated in accordance with Chapter 849, Florida Statutes,
City Commission Documentation
LDR Amendment - Adult Gaming Centers
Page 2
(Gambling). The regulation of these venues ensures that they are permitted as a conditional use in
the appropriate compatible zoning classification of General Commercial (GC) and Planned
Commercial (PC), and establishes criteria to ensure reduction in any secondary effects that would
have a negative impact on the general public as well as the area surrounding the use. The proposed
amendment does not permit adult gaming centers within 1,000 feet of an existing adult gaming center
and does not permit the use within a designated redevelopment area. This Ordinance does not
regulate "adult arcades", which are considered adult entertainment establishments which are
separately regulated under the City's ordinance.
Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.5(M)(5), approval of an LDR amendment must be based upon a finding
that the amendment is consistent with and furthers the Goals, Objectives, and Policies of the
Comprehensive Plan. This amendment is being initiated to provide clarification and regulations
regarding adult gaming centers, which are consistent with Florida Statutes. While the amendment
does not fulfill a specific Goal, Objectives, and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan, it is not
inconsistent with them.

The proposed FLLJM and Rezonings are associated with two different portions of properties
that include land conveyed to the Delray Harbor Club to accommodate additional parking with
the remainder to contain a passive conservation area, additional boat ramps, and associated
parking for the Intracoastal Park.
Over the past year the City has been negotiating with FIND (Florida Inland Navigation
District) to obtain a 30 year lease on MSA Tract 650. This lease would allow the City to
utilize the property for the construction of additional boat ramps for the public. The need for
additional boat ramps is identified in the Comprehensive Plan as an unmet need in the City.
During this process the adjacent residential development Delray Harbor Club expressed a
desire to do some parking improvements on the adjacent property. Given the common
interests in this area, the City, FIND and Delray Harbor Club have been collaborating to
achieve the most efficient design. To this end a Real Property Exchange Agreement has
been executed which involved land swaps between the parties. With this exchange
completed, future land use and zoning changes are necessary to reflect the appropriate
designations to accommodate the future uses.
At its meeting of September 7, 2004, the City Commission initiated the small-scale Future
Land Use Map amendments and zoning changes for both portions of the Delray Harbor Club
and Intracoastal Park sites.

FLUM Amendment and Rezoning
Page 2
At its meeting of September 27, 2004, the Planning and Zoning Board held a public hearing
in conjunction with the Rezoning and FLUM amendment requests. Several members of the
public representing the residential development (Harbourside) were in attendance. One
person from the public spoke and did not see the need for additional boat ramps and
suggested that development be limited to additional parking for overflow from Knowles Park.
After reviewing the staff report and discussing the proposal, the Board unanimously voted 4-0
(Morris, Borchardt, Walker absent) to recommend that the requests be approved by adopting
the findings of fact and law contained in the staff report, and finding that the request and
approval thereof is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and meets the criteria set forth in
Section 2.4.5(D)(5), 3.1.1 and 3.2.2 of the Land Development Regulations.
By motion, approve on first reading the ordinance for the proposed City initiated small scale
FLUM Amendment from TRN (Transitional) to MD (Medium Density 5-12 du/ac) and rezoning
from POD (Planned Office Development) to RM (Medium Density Residential) for land with a
total acreage of 0.13 acres that has been conveyed to the Delray Harbor Club. Further,
approve a small scale Future Land Use Map Amendment from TRN, MD and OS-C (Open
Space - Conservation) to OS-C (Open Space - Conservation) and rezoning from POD
(Planned Office Development), RM (Medium Density Residential) and CD (Conservation
District) to OS (Open Space) for land with a total acreage of 4.47 acres to accommodate the
Intracoastal Park, by adopting the findings of fact and law contained in the staff report, and
finding that the request and approval thereof is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and
meets the criteria set forth in Sections 2.4.5(D) (5), 3.1.1 and 3.2.2 of the Land Development

IV. A.
The action before the Board is that of making a recommendation on land use actions for
two separate parcels that are part of land swap activity associated with the
establishment of the Intracoastal Park site. The first is a City initiated small-scale
Future Land Use Map Amendment from TRN (Transitional) to MD (Medium Density 5-
12 du/ac) and rezoning from POD (Planned Office Development) to RM (Medium
Density Residential) for 0.13 acres that is currently owned by the Delray Harbor Club.
The second is also a small scale Future Land Use Map Amendment from TRN, MD and
OS-C (Open Space - Conservation) to OS-C (Open Space - Conservation) and
rezoning from POD (Planned Office Development), RM (Medium Density Residential)
and CD (Conservation District) to OS (Open Space) for 4.47 acres.
Pursuant to Section 2.2.2(E), the Local Planning Agency (Planning & Zoning Board)
shall review and make a recommendation to the City Commission with respect to the
rezoning and FLUM Amendment of any property within the City.
The proposed FLUM and Rezonings are associated with two different portions of
properties that include land conveyed to the Delray Harbor Club to accommodate
additional parking with the remainder to contain a passive conservation area, additional
boat ramps, and associated parking for the Intracoastal Park.
Over the past year the City has been negotiating with FIND (Florida Inland Navigation
District) to obtain a 30 year lease on MSA Tract 650. This lease would allow the City to
utilize the property for the construction of additional boat ramps for the public. The need
for additional boat ramps is identified in the Comprehensive Plan as an unmet need in
the City. During this process the adjacent residential development Delray Harbor Club
expressed a desire to do some parking improvements on the adjacent property. Given
the common interests in this area, the City, FIND and Delray Harbor Club have been
collaborating to achieve the most efficient design. To this end a Real Property
Exchange Agreement has been executed which involved land swaps between the
parties. With this exchange completed future land use and zoning changes are
necessary to reflect the appropriate designations to accommodate the future uses.
At its meeting of September 7, 2004, the City Commission initiated the small-scale
Future Land Use Map amendments and zoning changes for both portions of the Delray
Harbor Club and Intracoastal Park sites.
Florida Statutes 163.3187 - Small Scale Land Use Map Amendments:
This Future Land Use Map Amendment is being processed as a Small-Scale
Development pursuant to Florida Statutes 163.3187. This statute states that any local
government comprehensive land use amendments directly related to proposed small
P & Z Board Staff Repor~
FLUM Amendment & R( .ing for Delray Harbor Club and Intracoastal Park
Page 2
scale development activities may be approved without regard to statutory limits on the
frequency of consideration of amendments (twice a year), subject to the following
conditions:
El The amendment does not exceed 10 acres of land;
El The cumulative effect of the amendments processed under this section shall not
exceed 120 acres within designated redevelopment and traffic concurrency
exception areas, or 60 acres annually in areas lying outside the designated
areas;
El The proposed amendment does not involve the same property, or the same
owner's property within 200 feet of property, granted a change within a period of
12 months;
That if the proposed amendment involves a residential land use, the residential
land use has a density of 10 units or less per acre except for properties that are
designated in the Comprehensive Plan for urban infill, urban redevelopment, or
downtown revitalization;
El The proposed amendment does not involve a text change to the goals, policies,
and objectives of the local government's comprehensive plan, but only proposes
a land use change to the Future Land Use Map for a site-specific small scale
development activity; and,
The property that is the subject of a proposed amendment is not located within
an area of critical state concern.
The subject properties consist of 4.60 acres. The properties are not located within a
designated redevelopment area or traffic concurrency exception area. It is noted that a
small scale Future Land Use Map (FLUM) amendment as defined by Florida State
Statute 163.3187 has not been adopted this year. Therefore, the proposed 4.60 acre
FLUM amendment does not exceed the 60 acre annual limit. The FLUM amendment
for the Delray Harbor Club is from Transitional to MD. Each of these land use
designations allows similar intensities of residential densities. It is noted the change
from Transition to Medium Density is not to accommodate residential units at any
density, but to provide over-flow parking for the existing residential uses to the north.
With respect to the FIND parcel, the FLUM amendment is changing from Transitional to
MD (Medium Density 5-12 du/ac) and OS-C (Open Space - Conservation) to OS-C
(Open Space - Conservation). Consequently, the proposed FLUM amendment can be
considered under the small scale procedures since the residential density is not being
intensified (Delray Harbor Club) or is being eliminated with the FIND parcel. The
property has not previously been considered for a Future Land Use Map amendment
nor has the same owner's property, within 200 feet, been granted a land use change
within the last year. The amendment does not involve a text change to the
Comprehensive Plan and it is not located within an area of critical state concern. Given
the above, the proposed FLUM amendment can be processed as a small scale
amendment.

Land Use Analysis:
Pursuant to Land Development Regulation Section 3.1.1(A) (Future Land Use
Map), all land uses and resulting structures must be allowed in the zoning district
within which the land is situated and, said zoning must be consistent with the
land use designation as shown on the Future Land Use Map.
Both properties are currently vacant. The proposed boat ramp (FIND parcel) is a
permitted use in the OS zoning district [ref. LDR Section 4.4.22(B)(1) & (C)(6)]. The OS
zoning district is considered compatible with the proposed OS-C land use designation.
The Delray Harbor Club property will be utilized as an entrance and parking area for the
condominium located north of the property. These uses are accessory to the residential
uses and are permitted in the RM zoning district. It is not anticipated that this parcel will
be developed for any other purpose.
Based upon the above, a positive finding with respect to Future Land Use Map
consistency can be made.
REQUIRED FINDINGS:
Future Land Use Element Policy A-1.7: Amendments to the Future Land Use Map
must be based upon the following findings:
El Demonstrated Need -- That there is a need for the requested land use. The
need must be based upon circumstances such as shifts in demographic
trends, changes in the availability of land, changes in the existing character
and FLUM designations of the surrounding area, fulfillment of a
comprehensive plan objective or policy, or similar circumstances. The need
must be supported by data and analysis verifying the changing demographics
or other circumstances. This requirement shall not apply to requests for the
FLUM designations of Conservation or Recreation and Open Space; nor shall
it apply to FLUM changes associated with annexations when the City's
advisory FLUM designation is being applied or when the requested
designation is of a similar intensity to the advisory designation. However, the
findings described in the remainder of this policy must be addressed with all
FLUM amendments.
With respect to the Intracoastal Park property, the proposed FLUM amendment is
from TRN, MD and OS-C (Open Space - Conservation) to OS-C (Open Space -
Conservation). Therefore, this requirement does not apply to this parcel. It is noted
that the Open Space and Recreation Element, Coastal Management Element, and
Conservation Element each identifies the need for additional access to the
Intracoastal Waterway and more public boat ramps. With respect to the Delray
Harbor Club, this parcel was acquired through a land swap with FIND and the City.
This facilitated a more efficient layout for access to the boat ramp. This parcel will
be utilized for cross access and additional parking. Given the changes in
configuration of this parcel as a result of the land swap, the development potential is
limited. The change from Transitional to MD will allow accessory residential type
P & Z Board Staff Repod
FLUM Amendment & R, ~ing for Delray Harbor Club and Intracoastal Park
Page 4
uses, but would limit commercial potential currently allowed under the Transitional
Land Use Map designation. This limiting of uses and utilization in conjunction with
adjacent residential properties is appropriate given the configuration changes.
El Consistency -- The requested designation is consistent with the goals,
objectives, and policies of the most recently adopted Comprehensive Plan.
The proposed change to OS-C will provide public access to the Intracoastal
Waterway and additional boat ramps which have been identified as an objective in
the Coastal Management, Open Space and Recreation, and Conservation Elements
of the Comprehensive Plan. The changes for the Delray Harbor Club will be
consistent with the current designation as it relates to adjacent residential uses and
is not inconsistent with any objectives within the Comprehensive Plan.
El Concurrency -- Development at the highest intensity possible under the
requested designation can meet the adopted concurrency standards.
The proposed use of the subject property is likely the most intense use of the
property given the proposed FLUM and zoning designation. The boat ramp will have
little impact on the adopted levels-of-service. Compliance with the Palm Beach
County Traffic Performance Standards Ordinance will be addressed as part of the
site plan process. There are no compatibility concerns with respect to the residential
FLUM and zoning district designations proposed for the Delray Harbor Club portion
of the request.
El Compatibility -- The requested designation will be compatible with the existing
and future land uses of the surrounding area.
The OS-C FLUM and OS zoning designations allow Iow intensity uses. Pursuant to
LDR Section 4.4.22(A), the OS zoning district is deemed compatible with all land use
designations shown on the Future Land Use Map. Consequently, most of the
subject property could currently be rezoned to the OS zoning district without the
proposed FIUM amendment. The land use change is being processed to achieve a
uniform land use category of OS-C across the entire parcel being utilized for the
park (including parcels to the west adjacent to Federal Highway). Buffering of the
proposed boat ramp site will be addressed during the site plan review process.
El Compliance -- Development under the requested designation will comply with
the provisions and requirements of the Land Development Regulations.
Future redevelopment of the land will occur in accordance with the City's Land
Development Regulations during the site plan review process.
REQUIRED FINDINGS:
LDR {Chapter 3} PERFORMANCE STANDARDS:
P & Z Board Staff Repot'
FLUM Amendment & R, .ting for Delray Harbor Club and Intracoastal Park
Page 5
Pursuant to Section 3.1.1 (Required Findings), prior to approval of Land Use
applications, certain findings must be made in a form which is part of the official
record. This may be achieved through information on the application, written
materials submitted by the applicant, the staff report, or minutes. Findings shall
be made by the body which has the authority to approve or deny the development
application. These findings relate to the Future Land Use Map, Concurrency,
Comprehensive Plan Consistency, and Compliance with the Land Development
Regulations.
Future Land Use Map, Concurrency and Comprehensive Plan Consistency was
previously discussed under the "Future Land Use Map Amendment Analysis" section of
this report. Compliance with the Land Development Regulations with respect to
Standards for Rezoning Actions and Rezoning Findings are discussed below.
CONSISTENCY: Compliance with the performance standards set forth in Section
3.2.2 (Standards for Rezoning Actions) along with required findings in Section
2.4.5(D)(5) (Rezoning Findings) 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 the making of a finding of overall
consistency.
Section 3.2.2 {Standards for Rezoninfl Actions): Standards B and C are not
applicable with respect to the rezoning requests. The applicable performance
standard of Section 3.2.2 is as follows:
(A) The most restrictive residential zoning district that is applicable given
existing development patterns and typical lot sizes shall be applied to
those areas identified as "stable" and "stabilization" on the Residential
Neighborhood Categorization Map. Requests for rezonings to a different
zoning designation, other than Community Facilities, Open Space, Open
Space and Recreation, or Conservation shall be denied.
The subject property is designated as "stable" on the Residential Neighborhood
Categorization Map. The proposed rezonings from POD to RM for the Delray
Harbor Club and from POD, RM, and CD to OS for the Intracoastal Park is
appropriate given the existing development patterns and is therefore consistent
with this performance standard.
{D) That the rezoning shall result in allowing land uses which are deemed
compatible with adjacent and nearby land uses both existing and
proposed; or that if an incompatibility may occur, that sufficient
regulations exist to properly mitigate adverse impacts from the new use.
As noted previously, the proposed OS zoning district is deemed compatible with
all FLUM designation. Consequently, the uses allowed within the OS zoning
district are considered compatible with the adjacent residential land uses. Any
incompatibilities arising from the proposed boat ramp can be addressed via
buffering to be considered during the site plan review process. There are no
compatibility concerns with respect to the Delray Harbor Club parcel.

Page 6
(E) Remaining, isolated infill lots within the coastal planning area shall be
developed under zoning which is identical or similar to the zoning of
adjacent properties; and, the resulting development shall be of a design
and intensity which is similar to the adjacent development.
As noted above the proposed OS zoning district is considered compatible with
the adjacent residential FLUM designations. The RM designation for the Delray
Harbor Club piece is identical to the residential designations to the north and
south.
Section 2.4.5{D){5) (Rezonin.q Findin_cls):
Pursuant to Section 2.4.5(D)(5) (Findings), in addition to provisions of Section
3.1.1, the City Commission must make a finding that the rezoning fulfills one of
the reasons for which the rezoning change is being sought. These reasons
include the following:
a. That the zoning had previously been changed, or was originally
established, in error;
b. That there has been a change in circumstances which make the current
zoning inappropriate;
c. That the requested zoning is of similar intensity as allowed under the
Future Land Use Map and that it is more appropriate for the property based
upon circumstances particular to the site and/or neighborhood.
The appropriate reason for the proposed rezonings is "b", based on the following:
The Comprehensive Plan indicates that the subject property is to be utilized as access
to the Intracoastal Waterway and additional boat ramps. These policies and objective
include the following:
Coastal Management Element Policy B-1.5, The City shall perform the necessary
studies to pursue development of FIND parcel MSA 650 as 1) an entirely passive park
with picnic areas and a nature trail, with additional boat ramps at Knowles Park; or 2) a
partially active park with boat ramp and parking facilities in addition to preservation
areas. The completed studies should be brought to the City Commission for a decision
on the final plan in time for inclusion in the FY 98/99 budget.
Open Space and Recreation Element Text, Assessing recreation facilities relative to
the strictest of the two applicable guidelines reveals a current deficiency only in the
category of boat ramps. This deficiency will be eliminated through the development of
FIND parcel MSA 650, or construction of additional boat ramps at Knowles Park. For
the buildout demand, planned facility additions were added to the existing total. At
buildout, deficiencies again appear only in boat ramps (5).

Open Space and Recreation Element Policy B-3.1, Additional access to the
Intracoastal Waterway shall be achieved through improvements made at the time of
development of the FIND parcel (MSA 650).
Conservation Element Policy B-1.8, FIND parcel (MSA 650) shall be developed to
provide public park areas and additional access to the Intracoastal Waterway through
the provision of a boat ramp and parking area. The development of these facilities shall
maximize retention of the existing native plant communities.
The proposed zoning change to OS will allow the proposed development of the subject
property accordingly.
COMPLIANCE WITH THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS:
Items identified in the Land Development Regulations shall specifically be
addressed by the body taking final action on a land development
application/request.
A City initiated site plan application has not been submitted. However, compliance with
the Land Development Regulations will be addressed during the site plan review
process.
The subject property is not within a geographical area requiring review by the
Community Redevelopment Agency, Downtown Development Authority or the Historic
Preservation Board.
Courtesy Notices:
Courtesy notices have been provided to the following civic and homeowners
associations:
· Presidents Council
· PROD
Public Notice:
Formal public notice has been provided to property owners within a 500' radius of the
subject property. Letters of objection and support, if any, will be presented at the
Planning and Zoning Board meeting.
The proposed FLUM amendment and Zoning Map change is necessary to develop the
subject property in accordance with direction outlined in the Comprehensive Plan as a
park with boat ramps. The FLUM and Zoning Map change for the Delray Harbor Club is
a result of land swaps that occurred to accommodate access and additional parking for
P & Z Board Staff Rep('
FLUM Amendment & R. ,ning for Delray Harbor Club and Intracoastal Park
Page 8
the Delray Harbor Club along with enhanced access to the boat ramps. Positive
findings can be made with respect to Future Land Use Element Policy A-1.7 of the
Comprehensive Plan (FLUM Amendment Findings), LDR Section 3.1.1 (Required
Findings), and the Goals, Objectives, and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan. Positive
findings can be made with respect to LDR Section 2.4.5(D)(5) (Rezoning Findings) and
3.2.2 (Standards for Rezoning Actions). Therefore, the proposed FLUM amendment
and related zoning changes are recommended for approval based on the findings
outlined in this report.
A. Continue with direction.
B. Move a recommendation of approval to the City Commission for the City initiated
request for a small scale FLUM Amendment from TRN (Transitional) to MD (Medium
